NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Humanigen, Inc. (NASDAQ: HGEN) between May 28, 2021 and July 12, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important no later than October 25, 2022.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Humanigen securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Humanigen class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8376 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 25, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business operations and prospects. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) lenzilumab was less effective in treating hospitalized COVID-19 patients than defendants had represented; (2) as a result, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") was unlikely to approve the lenzilumab Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") and the ACTIV-5/BET-B study was unlikely to meet its primary endpoint; (3) accordingly, lenzilumab's clinical and commercial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Humanigen class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8376 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

As you know, we had a lot of work at Gamescom, but that didn't stop us from taking an idyllic holiday in the luxurious and easygoing city of Arcadia, but not everything is what it seems and, alongside Trevor, we discovered the dark secrets that this metropolis hides from all its inhabitants... Take a look at this video and find out why we liked this title so much, what's so special about it and how it manages to bring together two quite different styles of gameplay into a single experience in an almost magical way.

Feds rule deadly 2021 Tacoma house fire arson. Police now investigating case as homicide
A fire that burned a three-story house in Tacoma’s North End last year, killing an 83-year-old man, has been ruled an arson by federal investigators, the Tacoma Police Department said Tuesday.
The Dec. 31 fire in the 200 block of Rosemount Way initially was determined by Tacoma Fire Department to be caused by an electrical wire malfunction. James Elliott died in the blaze, and the Pierce County Medical Examiner found he died of asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation.
Continued investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found the cause of the house fire was not due to a malfunction.
In February, KING 5 reported that a checkbook belonging to Elliott turned up in a truck that belonged to Sarah Ramey, a 42-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of setting more than a dozen fires in Tacoma’s central and northern neighborhoods at the end of January. The victim’s son, Dan Elliott, told the TV station that a bank notified him that Ramey was using his father’s checkbook.
More than a dozen suspicious fires cropped up in January, with as many as 11 reported in one night in Tacoma and Ruston. The fires set residents on edge until Ramey’s arrest. She was later charged with seven counts of first-degree arson, first-degree attempted arson and second-degree identity theft among other charges.
The killing brings Tacoma’s 2021 homicide count to 34. Tacoma has matched that number of homicides this year after a violent Labor Day weekend that included two fatal shootings.

ERIE's African American Affinity Network, Asian Pacific Affinity Network, Women's Affinity Network and VP & Wisconsin Branch Manager Fred Johnson honored for 2022
ERIE, Pa., Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Erie Insurance (ERIE) has earned four 2022 Diversity Impact Awards™ from the Global ERG Network, the world's largest network of employee resource groups (ERGs), business resource groups (BRGs) and diversity councils dedicated to making measurable progress on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
ERIE's African American Affinity Network, Asian Pacific Affinity Network and Women's Affinity Network were named Top 25 ERG Diversity Impact Award recipients by the organization for 2022. Of the 25 employee resource groups highlighted nationally across all sectors, ERIE had three company affinity networks recognized for successful employee engagement and strategy implementation.
Fred Johnson, vice president and ERIE's Wisconsin branch manager, was also named one of five recipients of Diversity Impact Executive Sponsor of the Year honors. Johnson is the executive sponsor of ERIE's African American Affinity Network and earned this leadership recognition for a second consecutive year.
Johnson and other ERIE affinity network leaders will be honored September 23 at an awards ceremony held during the 2022 Global ERG Summit in Kissimmee, Fla.
"These are all well-deserved awards. The work led by each of ERIE's affinity networks is an important part of our culture – educating, raising awareness and celebrating our diversity is important to creating inclusive workplaces," said Christina Marsh, ERIE's chief diversity and community development officer. "I am pleased with the national recognition for these three affinity networks and Fred Johnson, given the deep commitments each has to advancing DEI here at ERIE."
While Erie Insurance has had a formal commitment to diversity and inclusion for more than 10 years, this national recognition comes at a time when the company is enhancing and elevating its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts under the leadership of Marsh, who reports to ERIE President and CEO Tim NeCastro. This commitment was further supported by the recent hiring of Lance Hyde, the company's new vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion.
"Treating others with dignity and respect has been at the heart of ERIE's values for nearly a century — and we've had a team dedicated to supporting and celebrating diversity and inclusion as an insurer, employer and community partner for more than a decade," NeCastro said. "Research has proven that inclusive cultures translate into proven value to organizations – including higher performing teams that are more innovative and agile. We've taken steps to now move into an activation phase with our DEI practices over the past year so that these practices are part of what we do each day. Our affinity networks help us achieve these much-needed steps."
ERIE is also a signatory member of CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion, the nation's largest CEO-driven business commitment to drive measurable action and meaningful change in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
The 2022 Diversity Impact Awards leverages a data driven and scientifically validated model called The Impact Model™, developed by Dr. Theresa Welbourne, senior affiliate research scientist at the USC Marshall School of Business Center for Effective Organizations and CEO of eePulse. In addition to the recognition, organizations that participate annually in the Diversity Impact Awards process receive benchmarking data to measure their own progress over time.
As we continue our DEI evolution, this recognition and these insights will allow us to build upon this strong foundation," Marsh added.
"The groups participating in the Diversity Impact Awards this year continue to raise the bar for excellence with their initiatives. Their work aligns with the strategic direction of the companies they serve and, as a result, they are recognized as true business partners," said Cile Johnson, principal and chief business officer at Talent Dimensions. "We are in awe of their work to create more diverse, equitable and inclusive organizations where individuals can bring their full and best selves to the workplace and, ultimately, feel they belong."

Conference held with focus on hyperbaric oxygen therapy
The Second Annual conference of Kaveri Association of Rehabilitation Medicine (KARM) was held at Sakra World Hospital, Bengaluru, (JV of Secom and Toyota Tsusho Japan) which houses India’s best advanced rehabilitation centre incorporating hi-tech rehabilitation facilities including cutting edge robotics.
Bengaluru: The Second Annual conference of Kaveri Association of Rehabilitation Medicine (KARM) was held at Sakra World Hospital, Bengaluru, (JV of Secom and Toyota Tsusho Japan) which houses India's best advanced rehabilitation centre incorporating hi-tech rehabilitation facilities including cutting edge robotics. The conference was attended by 40 physiatrists who are specialised in rehabilitation medicine.
The inauguration was chaired by Chief Guest Dr. Upender Singh, (Professor and Head, department of PMR, AIIMS, Delhi), Naoya Matsumi (DMD Sakra World Hospital), Lovekesh Phasu,(COO Sakra World Hospital), KARM president Dr Kurian Zachariah (Professor and Head, department of PMR, St. Johns Medical College), organising chairman Dr. Maheswarappa B M, (HOD and Sr. consultant, Sakra Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences) and organising secretary Dr Anand Verma (HOD, department of physical medicine and Rehabilitation Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli).
It's estimated that 1 in 50 among our fellow Indian brothers and sisters currently live with some form of disability. One individual's disability, more often than not, also shackles caregivers and limits their productivity in society as well. Optimizing the functionality of people with disabilities reduces their dependence on caregivers and improves the productivity of the entire family, adding confidence, self-reliance and thus making them efficient contributors to society and the economy as a whole.
There is a lesser known yet vital branch of modern medicine called Rehabilitation medicine a.k.a. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR), a speciality dedicated to the upliftment of people suffering with disabilities or pain and their families via medical care, education and research. PMR has its roots as an exclusive speciality all the way back in the 2nd World War catering to persons with spinal cord injury and amputations. PMR has grown to be an established and well-known speciality in all western countries since then. PMR had a late start in India over half a decade ago and has seen a slow yet steady growth.
The Indian association of PMR (IAPMR) was set up in 1972 and now has numerous state chapters, the youngest of which is our very own chapter in Karnataka, the Kaveri Association of Rehabilitation Medicine (KARM), established in 2021. PMR services are readily available in most medical colleges in Tamil Nadu and Kerala in the south but has seen a slow progression in Karnataka. With the dawn of our state chapter for PMR and with the help of public awareness, PMR services are now expected to grow rapidly.
People with disabilities are often neglected and do not know where to seek quality medical attention. Sadly, most doctors are not trained or aware of the specific medical needs to the disabled population. Thus, the patient is not treated up-to their true potential and maximal independence. With the expansion of PMR services in the state, any person with disability or pain can seek medical attention from doctors who are trained to cater to their unique set of medical problems, complications and disabilities. KARM being the proverbial trunk of a year-old sapling, aims to grow branches to provide medical rehabilitation cover to all corners of Karnataka.
KARM is celebrating the first anniversary of its inception by conducting a conference on a relatively new technology in rehabilitation – HBOT i.e. Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy. Its utility is best seen in the acute or subacute stages of tissue injury- nerve, brain, limbs etc and is FDA approved. Injured tissues typically have 3 zones of viability- an irreversibly dead central zone, a live outer zone and a middle grey zone that is still viable (alive) but damaged. Without intervention, over time this area too will die thus increasing the overall size of irreversibly of the dead tissues.
HBOT is the only way to provide a larger dose of dissolved oxygen via the blood to the damaged tissue in an attempt to salvage the borderline tissue and hasten healing. Naturally, humans breathe air at 21% oxygen at 1ATA pressure. The patient availing HBOT is completely placed within a glass chamber wherein the pressure of the enclosed atmospheric air is raised to 1.5 to 3 ATA pressure. This results in a higher dissolved blood oxygen concentration which delivers turbo charged healing i.e. more oxygen to damaged grey zones results in faster and more complete healing, thus translating to better patient outcomes.
Though the medical effects of HBOT is known for centuries, it has not been utilised effectively. The conference theme was focused on application of HBOT in different medical conditions. After inception of this new speciality of rehabilitation medicine, HBOT has been used effectively for treating acute and chronic non-healing wounds, Diabetic foot, Pressure sores, burns, gangrene, lung disease like ILD, infections, fungal infections mucomycosis, non-healing fractures, neurological conditions like TBI, stroke, HIE, facial palsy, sensory neural deafness etc.
HBOT in rehabilitation is currently under subscribed due to lack of awareness. Sakra Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences, having a rich experience in the field of HBOT has thus conducted the conference to educate the rest of the medical fraternity in the nuances of HBOT related patient care. In Bengaluru, HBOT is also available under the PMR department of Whitefield Manipal Hospital, Aster CMI, Narayana health City and Institute of Aerospace Medicine, Bengaluru.
We should be aware that anyone of us or our loved ones can get disabled overnight after an accident or stroke. Wouldn't we prefer the access to high quality medical rehabilitation services? Shouldn't we do our part to nourish the year-old sapling? Lack of awareness is the biggest hurdle in its growth. Awareness creation regarding the KARM chapter, the speciality of PMR and HBOT is the need of the hour as a stepping stone towards optimal rehabilitation service availability in Karnataka and India as a whole. Let us Turbo-charge Rehabilitation.

Did you lose money on investments in Coupang? If so, please visit Coupang, Inc. Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com to discuss your rights.
NEW YORK, Sept. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the Class A common stock of Coupang, Inc. (“Coupang” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CPNG) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with Coupang’s March 2021 initial public offering (“IPO”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.
Founded in 2010, Coupang made a name for itself by commercializing South Korean quick delivery services through aggressive investment in infrastructure technology and distribution centers. Coupang has approximately 100 fulfillment and logistics centers in over 30 cities, encompassing over 40 million square feet. Coupang offers hundreds of millions of products, sourced from its owned-inventory and private-label branded products, third-party selections, and over 200,000 merchants for quick delivery. Coupang also provides a “Rocket WOW” customer loyalty program to offer additional benefits to its most engaged and frequent customers.
On February 12, 2021, Coupang filed a registration statement for the IPO on Form S-1, which was declared effective on March 10, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”). On March 11, 2021, Coupang filed a prospectus for the IPO on Form 424B4, which incorporated and formed part of the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, Coupang sold 100 million Coupang Class A common stock at $35 per share, for total gross proceeds of $3.5 billion.
Plaintiff alleges that the Registration Statement failed to disclose the following adverse facts that existed at the time of the IPO: (a) Coupang was engaged in improper anti-competitive practices with its suppliers and other third parties; (b) Coupang had improperly adjusted search algorithms and manipulated product reviews to prioritize its own private-label branded products over those of other sellers and merchants, to the detriment of consumers, merchants, and suppliers; (c) Coupang was selling products to non-member customers at lower prices than those offered to its Rocket WOW members; (d) Coupang subjected its workforce to unhealthy working conditions; and (e) Coupang’s lower prices, historical revenues, competitive advantages, and market share were the result of systemic, improper, unethical, and/or illegal practices, and, thus, unsustainable.
On or around April 27, 2021, less than two months after the IPO, United Press International reported on systemic, unsafe working conditions for Coupang’s delivery drivers and employees.
On June 17, 2021, a deadly fire broke out in the basement of Coupang’s Deokpyeong Logistics Fulfillment Center, located south of Seoul. Aside from consumer criticism, the fire cost Coupang approximately $296 million in lost inventory, property, equipment, and other costs.
On September 10, 2021, the Korean Fair Trade Commission (“KFTC”) announced that Coupang was participating in, and would be regulated for, search algorithm manipulation that had improperly prioritized its own products over those of third-party sellers. This was a significant expansion of the regulator’s prior findings about Coupang.
On March 22, 2022, Korea JoonAng Daily reported that the KFTC was now reportedly examining claims that Coupang had manipulated product reviews for its private-label branded products to make them appear more positive.
Finally, on July 13, 2022, The Korea Times issued an article entitled “Coupang, Naver Hit By Antitrust Allegations,” which reported that Coupang was now also under investigation by the KFTC for falsely advertising the membership benefits of its Rocket WOW membership services. On this news, Coupang’s stock fell over 34%, to close at $13.46 per share on June 14, 2022.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 25, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
If you purchased or acquired Coupang Class A common stock, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit Coupang, Inc. Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com.
Since 1993, Bernstein Liebhard LLP has recovered over $3.5 billion for its clients. In addition to representing individual investors, the Firm has been retained by some of the largest public and private pension funds in the country to monitor their assets and pursue litigation on their behalf. As a result of its success litigating hundreds of lawsuits and class actions, the Firm has been named to The National Law Journal’s “Plaintiffs’ Hot List” thirteen times and listed in The Legal 500 for ten consecutive years.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United Spinal Association has announced the finalists for its #StrongWheeled Together Awards honoring exceptional individuals from the spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D) community who have demonstrated achievement in the areas of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Performing Arts, Sports, and Recreation, Visual Arts and Writing, and Youth Leadership and Community Impact.
Finalists were selected from a diverse pool of nominees from around the nation who have passed through a competitive semi-final round judged by subject matter experts and cultural figures from the SCI/D community.
The Awards are part of United Spinal's 2022 #StrongWheeled Together campaign that showcases the benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion in helping people with disabilities discover greater independence.
"One of the biggest issues that our community faces is the stigma surrounding disability and ableist expectations. We can challenge this through representation. There is insufficient representation of our community in the creative arts, business, science, and sports, despite the abundance of talent among people with disabilities," said Vincenzo Piscopo, United Spinal's president, and CEO.
"The #StrongWheeled Together Awards will raise awareness of the gifts that exist in our community and give a platform to the innovators and leaders in our community—illuminating the important role we play in society. The award is part of a greater fight for recognition and inclusion," added Piscopo.
Finalists have crafted videos about their personal beliefs and achievements that have been published on United Spinal's YouTube channel. Finalists who receive the most likes on YouTube in their category win that category. Voting will continue until September 30th.
Finalists include:
Entrepreneurship & Innovation: Alycia Anderson (CA), Erik Kondo (MA), Brandon Winfield (GA)
Performing Arts: Kelsey Peterson (MO), Regan Linton (VA), Dominick Evans (MI)
Sports & Recreation: Tom Knaus (MO), Antonio Martin (MI), Darlene Hunter (TX)

Carvana purports to be, along with its subsidiaries, an e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars in the United States.
Plaintiff alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants allegedly made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Carvana faced serious, ongoing issues with documentation, registration, and title with many of its vehicles; (2) as a result, Carvana was issuing unusually frequent temporary plates; (3) Carvana was violating laws and regulations in many existing markets; (4) Carvana risked its ability to continue business and/or expand its business in existing markets; (5) Carvana was at an increased risk of governmental investigation and action; (6) Carvana was in discussion with state and local authorities regarding the above-stated business tactics and issues; and (7) Carvana was facing imminent and ongoing regulatory actions including license suspensions, business cessation, and probation in several states and counties including in Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina.
On June 24, 2022, after market hours, Barron’s published an article entitled “Carvana Sought to Disrupt Auto Sales. It Delivered Undriveable Cars”, which detailed several issues with Carvana. Among other things, the article alleged that the Company engaged in the practice of selling cars “before it had title to the vehicles, an action that is illegal in many states where the company does business.”
As a result, “state regulators across the U.S. have been subjecting the company to suspensions or increased oversight over registration delays and its practice of issuing multiple temporary license plates from states where it has dealer’s licenses, instead of promptly providing permanent ones.”
On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $6.78 per share over the next two trading days to close at $24.74 per share on June 28, 2022.

(The Conversation) – A heat dome occurs when a persistent region of high pressure traps heat over an area. The heat dome can stretch over several states and linger for days to weeks, leaving the people, crops and animals below to suffer through stagnant, hot air that can feel like an oven.
Typically, heat domes are tied to the behavior of the jet stream, a band of fast winds high in the atmosphere that generally runs west to east.
Normally, the jet stream has a wavelike pattern, meandering north and then south and then north again. When these meanders in the jet stream become bigger, they move slower and can become stationary. That’s when heat domes can occur.
When the jet stream swings far to the north, air piles up and sinks. The air warms as it sinks, and the sinking air also keeps skies clear since it lowers humidity. That allows the sun to create hotter and hotter conditions near the ground.
If the air near the ground passes over mountains and descends, it can warm even more. This downslope warming played a large role in the extremely hot temperatures in the Pacific Northwest during a heat dome event in 2021, when Washington set a state record with 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 Celsius), and temperatures reached 121 F in British Columbia in Canada, surpassing the previous Canadian record by 8 degrees F (4 C).
The human impact
Heat domes normally persist for several days in any one location, but they can last longer. They can also move, influencing neighboring areas over a week or two. The heat dome involved in the June 2022 U.S. heat wave crept eastward over time.
On rare occasions, the heat dome can be more persistent. That happened in the southern Plains in 1980, when as many as 10,000 people died during weeks of high summer heat. It also happened over much of the United States during the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s.
A heat dome can have serious impacts on people, because the stagnant weather pattern that allows it to exist usually results in weak winds and an increase in humidity. Both factors make the heat feel worse – and become more dangerous – because the human body is not cooled as much by sweating.
The heat index, a combination of heat and humidity, is often used to convey this danger by indicating what the temperature will feel like to most people. The high humidity also reduces the amount of cooling at night. Warm nights can leave people without air conditioners unable to cool off, which increases the risk of heat illnesses and deaths. With global warming, temperatures are already higher, too.
One of the worst recent examples of the impacts from a heat dome with high temperatures and humidity in the U.S. occurred in the summer of 1995, when an estimated 739 people died in the Chicago area over five days.

Watch the full Local Focus interview for O'Brien's views on the region's biggest issues, and our less-important quickfire questions
More funding and better leadership at council level is needed to address the increasing challenges of emergency housing, according to general ward candidate Conan O'Brien.
"There's been too many holes and gaps for too long and we can't afford to keep going the way we're going," he said.
When asked about co-governance for council, O'Brien says "virtually every single person ... has a different interpretation for themselves on what they consider co-governance". He is generally against it, but does see "a very important role for Te Arawa in moving this town forward".

Advertise with NZME.The candidate also strongly opposes Three Waters.
"For it to be taken off us without any input or democratic vote ... I'm totally against the way the Government has gone about it," he said.
And in the quickfire questions, O'Brien says he prefers public transport and if he were running for government, he would go with the National Party.

Jerry Jones may be the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and have a net worth of $11 billion, but like any other 79-year-old, he says some questionable things at times. Unlike other 79 year olds, he doesn’t make nonsensical comments to the national media practically every day.
JERRY JONES FORCED TO APOLOGIZE TO LITTLE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AFTER TRAINING CAMP JOKE
Jones’ latest philosophical nonsense came on Tuesday morning when he joined 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. He was asked about his level of optimism for Dallas’ this upcoming season and decided to take an algebraic approach with his answer.
“I have to believe one and one is three,” Jones began. “I can’t operate where one and one is two. Now, we all know it is, physically, but three is where you have to go. You have to have optimism to operate out in the world.”
What kind of Labor Day weekend festivities did the Jones’ get into?
I supposed Jones is right in saying you have to be optimistic to operate in the world, but nobody has a clue what he meant with the ‘one and one is three’ stuff. People probably don’t understand what he’s saying because it quite literally makes no sense.
As they often do, football fans saw Jones’ latest comments about the Cowboys and ran with them. Nobody has any idea what Jones was getting at.

Peralta is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
Peralta racked up four hits -- including three doubles -- over his last two games, but he will be held out Tuesday with left-hander Rich Hill on the bump for the opponent. With Peralta opening on the bench, Randy Arozarena will start in left field and Harold Ramirez will serve as Tampa Bay's designated hitter Tuesday night.

First published in 1908 and written as a series of bedtime stories for Grahame’s son, The Wind in the Willows stars a group of animal friends who enjoy fun and adventures in the countryside and has a timeless charm which has enchanted readers for over one hundred years.
With sumptuous details – including cloth binding, foil cover, textured paper jacket and ribbon marker – Lou Peacock’s lovingly abridged story and award-winning artist Kate Hindley’s wonderfully witty and whimsical colour illustrations are a feast of words and pictures, and together create a dazzling introduction to a timeless adventure story.
One spring day, Mole peers out from his underground home to find a marvellous world awaits him. As the seasons pass, he picnics on the riverbank with Ratty, accompanies Toad on a chaotic caravan adventure, and even braves the snowy depths of the fearsome Wild Wood in search of Badger. But when Toad's mischievous ways finally land him in trouble, can his friends come to his rescue and recapture Toad Hall from a gang of sneaky stoats and wheedling weasels?
A new generation of youngsters is set to fall in love with Grahame’s leafy and lush Edwardian world as they meet the band of charismatic animals, and are swept away on a wave of hilarious riverbank antics and seasonal delights.
Superbly adapted by Peacock, who retains all the warmth, exuberance and nostalgic charm of Grahame’s original story, and with Hindley’s vibrant and exquisitely detailed illustrations bringing all the youthful action to life, this is a gift book for all the family to love and treasure.

Big Questions about the Universe
Alex Frith, Alice James and David J. Plant
How big is space and where does it end? Little people tend to ask some big questions… so here’s Big Questions about the Universe, the perfect launch pad for their journey around the universe!
Answers to children’s thought-provoking questions are provided simply and clearly in this brilliant new book from Usborne which was written by science buffs Alex Frith and Alice James in conjunction with an expert team from the Greenwich Royal Observatory in London.
The questions were specially curated by the observatory staff to address all the most common, and a few uncommon things, that children want to know about the universe and about outer space, with readers getting a refreshingly honest take on what we simply don’t know and how to approach questions that don’t have simple, straight answers.
Our guides are two curious children and a robot programmed with all the answers as they guide us through some of the most mind-boggling facts, using a mixture of photos, comic strips and diagrams to help reveal the wonder of space and the vastness of the universe.
A fascinating blend of basic questions about planets, moons, human exploration and the origins of the universe are tackled as well really BIG and more complex questions such as how do Black Holes work, is it worth going into space and what’s going to happen at the end of time?
Discover facts about the Moon, Mars and the Milky Way, the places closest to Earth, learn why some things are still a mystery, and find out why people are so interested in exploring space.
Written in clear, straightforward language and with a host of child-friendly aides to make the journey through space both accessible and interesting, Big Questions about the Universe is a fantastic addition to science shelves both at home and at school.

Two siblings, parted by a terrible danger, must embark on an epic journey if they are to find each other again. With thrilling echoes of the Lord of the Rings and Narnia, Irish writer Catherine Doyle immerses young readers in a menacing and magical world in a shimmering, simmering new standalone story.

Amy and Liam Bell have been packed off to stay at Gran’s house in the wilds of Connemara in the west of Ireland for the summer. Out for a walk on the first morning of their holiday and in search of an adventure, they trace the flight of a hawk to a nearby waterfall… only to watch the bird disappear through it. Intrigued, the children follow and soon realise they have discovered the entrance to Tír na nÓg, the legendary Celtic land of eternal youth where time stands still and no gone grows frail or ill. But they have been tricked and soon Amy discovers that something in this magical land has gone very, very wrong. Almost immediately Liam is captured by the headless horsemen of the Dullaham who take him to Tarlock, the ruling sorcerer of Tír na nÓg, who is seeking the bones of a human child for a sinister new spell. The children’s holiday has turned into an impossible quest where everything is at stake. Using her prodigious imagination, wit and natural warmth Doyle packs her escapist, edge-of-the-seat adventure with non-stop action and danger whilst exploring the unbreakable bonds of a brother and sister torn apart by dark magic.

Everest: Reaching the Roof of the World
David Long and Stefano Tambellini
Reaching 8,849 metres above sea level, Everest is the world’s highest mountain and its icy grandeur has captured the imagination of people from around the world for more than 100 years. In his fourth book for specialist publisher Barrington Stoke and the third book in an Incredible True Stories series, award-winning author and journalist David Long sets his sights on Earth’s highest peak. Everest towers like an icy giant over the Himalayas. For the millions of people living nearby, it has always been a magical place, known as ‘Goddess Mother of the World’ or the ‘Peak of Heaven.’ To explorers and adventurers, it represents a perilous but thrilling challenge to be climbed and conquered. In his exhilarating account for young readers, Long looks back at the first attempts by international mountaineers to reach the fabled summit, many of which ended in death and disaster. But in May 1953, Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to reach the roof of the world with the news reaching London on June 2, 1953 on the auspicious day marking the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Packed with facts and incredible feats, and printed in in Barrington Stoke’s trademark dyslexia-friendly format, this amazing account of a groundbreaking achievement is guaranteed to inspire and thrill a new generation of pioneers.

Grimwood: Let the Fur Fly!
Nadia Shireen
You can never be too young to enjoy a bit of anarchy! Youngsters (and their parents) will be grinning, guffawing, snorting and sniggering when they get their hands on the second woodland caper in one of the funniest children’s series currently on the market. Grimwood – a sort-of Watership Down with foxes which evokes tears of laughter rather than of sorrow – is the work of author and illustrator Nadia Shireen who has won awards for her picture books and been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. Fully illustrated throughout, the books star two fox cub siblings, Ted and Nancy, who love their new life in Grimwood… the forest where anything (riotous!) can happen. They have made a lot of new friends in Grimwood but now the dastardly mayor of neighbouring town Twinklenuts is on a mission to take over Grimwood and kick everyone out. Ted and Nancy must muster up bags of courage, rally their friends, and show off their treebonking skills to save the home they’ve grown to love. Shireen serves up an irresistible blend of glorious gags, hilarious comedy routines, boundless madcap escapades, and a memorable cast of quirky characters that young readers will love following from first page to last. With a side helping of zany, high-energy black and white illustrations, which bring both the animals and the action to life, the Grimwood series has the legs to run and run.

Suspect wanted after newspaper reporter found stabbed to death outside home, police say
LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) - The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department continues its investigation into the stabbing death of a newspaper reporter.
Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a person who they say was involved in the homicide on Sept. 3 in a residential neighborhood.
KVVU reports officers found journalist Jeff German, 69, dead with stab wounds around 10:30 a.m. after police received a 911 call.
According to the Clark County coroner’s office, German died of multiple sharp force injuries, with his death ruled a homicide.
Police said it appeared German was in an altercation with another person that led to the stabbing, which is believed to be an isolated incident.
In a news release Monday, authorities said the suspect was potentially casing the area to commit other crimes before the homicide occurred.
“We take this case very seriously, and our investigators have been working to identify and apprehend the suspect,” said LVMPD Capt. Dori Koren.

Clarus pursues bankruptcy sale
NORTHBROOK -- Clarus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. said it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
Clarus has also filed a motion seeking authorization to pursue an auction and sale of its sole commercial asset, JATENZO, a drug approved for use by health care providers to treat testosterone deficiency in men with certain medical conditions.
Clarus has filed a series of motions with the court seeking to ensure the continuation of normal operations while on this path. Clarus believes it has sufficient financial resources to meet its operational and financial obligations to patients, health care providers, suppliers and employees through the Chapter 11 process, the company said. In addition, scaled-back efforts will continue to support commercialization of JATENZO.
"After thoroughly exploring our strategic options in a robust process conducted by the Capital Structure Advisory team at Raymond James, and in light of the extremely challenging financial markets, Clarus' board of directors and its senior management team have unanimously concluded that a structured sale process represents the best possible solution for Clarus and its stakeholders," said Dr. Robert Dudley, CEO of Clarus.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — With Brazil’s presidential election just a month off, President Jair Bolsonaro is feeding concern about the nation’s electronic voting system. He has long insisted that the machines, used for a quarter-century, are prone to fraud, though he acknowledged last year that hasn’t been proved. Brazil’s top electoral authority says the system has been tested rigorously and some critics of Bolsonaro say he may be laying the groundwork for an attempt to cling to power if the vote doesn’t go his way – much like former U.S. President Donald Trump, whom Bolsonaro admires.
Here’s a look at Brazil’s electronic vote system.
___
WHY DOES BRAZIL USE AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM?
Brazilian authorities adopted electronic voting machines to tackle longstanding fraud. In earlier elections, ballot boxes arrived at voting stations already stuffed with votes. Others were stolen and individual votes were routinely falsified, according to Brazil’s electoral authority.
Electronic machines were first used in 1996 and the first nationwide, electronic-only vote took place four years later. Today, results from more than 150 million eligible voters are presented mere hours after polls close. And no significant fraud has ever been detected.
___
HOW COMMON IS ELECTRONIC VOTING ELSEWHERE?
More than two dozen countries use some form of an electronic system for national elections, according to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. But 80 percent don’t, and voters in most advanced democracies cast their ballots on paper.
Unlike Brazil, most ballots cast in the United States are hand-marked and tabulated by scanners. Since 2016, U.S. voting jurisdictions have almost completely phased out fully electronic balloting. Louisiana is now the only U.S. state where voting machines don’t produce some type of paper record statewide.
Most voters in the U.S. also cast a hand-marked paper ballot, which is then run through an electronic tabulator to produce results far more quickly than a hand count would do.
In the U.S., a 2018 report by the National Academy of Sciences urged that a voter-verified paper record exist for every ballot cast, with the originals secured in case results are challenged.
Mark Lindeman, director of Verified Voting, a nonpartisan group that tracks use of voting equipment in the U.S., said a lack of physical records makes it harder to fight accusations of fraud.
“The 2020 (U.S.) election showed the value of paper ballots to check election results,” he said. “But it also showed that political leaders can attack any election result they don’t like — even before the election — and that those attacks can do harm even when the claims defy physical reality. That’s probably a larger threat to free and fair elections than any current election technology.”
Brazil’s system doesn’t produce a paper record of individual votes, though Bolsonaro has advocated for that.
___
HOW IS BRAZIL’S VOTING SYSTEM AUDITED?
The electoral authority says voting machines are checked for reliability before, during and after balloting. Votes recorded by each machine can be cross-checked with the overall tallies after the vote.
Election officials acknowledge that hacking is always a risk, but say no one has ever managed to alter the machines’ source code or election results. They say risks are further minimized because the machines aren’t connected to the internet and information is sent only through internal systems, segments of which shut down if alterations are detected.
For this year’s elections, over a dozen institutions — including police, the military, prosecutors and universities — accepted the electoral court’s invitation to audit the machines. During a three-day hackathon in May, some 20 hired experts sought to penetrate the system. None succeeded.
___
WHEN DID FRAUD ALLEGATIONS BEGIN?
In 1993, then-lawmaker Bolsonaro complained to members of the military that the paper voting system was rigged, and spoke in favor of digitalization. Once electronic voting was implemented, however, he became one of its fiercest critics. In 2015, he proposed a constitutional amendment to introduce printed records of votes that would allow manual recounts. That passed Congress, but arguments it was too costly and could violate the right to a secret ballot led the Supreme Court to block it.
___
WHAT EVIDENCE DOES BOLSONARO CITE?
Bolsonaro won the presidency in a 2018 runoff, and later vociferously claimed fraud had denied him an outright victory in the first round.
For months, he promised proof was coming, and his administration tasked the Federal Police with scouring the prior 25 years for evidence. Finally, last year he acknowledged, “There is no way to prove the elections were or weren’t fraudulent. There are indications.” Following that admission, lawmakers rejected a new Bolsonaro-backed bill once again seeking to adopt printed records.
Still, Bolsonaro has continued to attack the machines’ reliability. In July, he called dozens of diplomats to the presidential residence to present his claims. He focused heavily on the existence of a police investigation into a 2018 incident in which a hacker broke into the electoral authority’s internal system. The authority, which asked for the police investigation, said the hacker never accessed any voting machines nor their source code and so couldn’t alter the data or compromise results.
The U.S. State Department issued a statement a day after Bolsonaro’ s meeting with diplomats, saying Brazil’s electoral system and democratic institutions are a “model for the world.”
Allegations that the system is unreliable have spread across social media and messaging apps — often in groups backing the president. That is similar to the attacks questioning the security of voting equipment in the U.S. since Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. Republicans in some places have sought to ditch all voting and tabulating machines in favor of paper ballots and hand-counting.
___
WHAT IS THE MILITARY’S ROLE?
Bolsonaro, a former army captain who has filled his government with military figures, has sought to expand armed forces’ role in elections. As a gesture, the electoral authority invited the armed forces to sit on its transparency commission and propose modifications to the system. On that commission, Defense Minister Paulo Sérgio Nogueira has made a series of statements echoing Bolsonaro’s claims. That has provoked concern at home and abroad about the armed forces — which imposed a 1964-1985 dictatorship — overstepping constitutional bounds and potentially becoming tools in an antidemocratic campaign.
Earlier this year, accompanied by top adviser Gen. Augusto Heleno, Bolsonaro said the armed forces “will not perform the role of just rubber stamping the electoral process, or taking part as spectators.” He suggested the military could conduct a parallel count of the results. The Defense Ministry also sent dozens of questions and suggestions to the electoral authority for potential improvements.
Negotiations with the electoral authority’s president, Alexandre de Moraes, seemed to bear fruit last week. The Defense Ministry acknowledged the success of tests carried out on the electronic machines. And de Moraes accepted the ministry’s proposal to run public pre-election tests using biometrics, with voters identified by fingerprints and photos. It isn’t clear whether such a system could be implemented for the election’s first round on Oct. 2.
Any last-minute changes, even if adopted with the best intentions, could cause instability or create vulnerabilities, according to Lindeman, of Verified Voting. ___ Bridi reported from Brasilia. Associated Press writer Christina A. Cassidy in Atlanta, Georgia, contributed to this report.

Borussia Dortmund cruised to a 3-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in their Champions League Group G opener on Tuesday with the Germans playing in front of a rare capacity 81,000 crowd for a European match.
Captain Marco Reus rifled in for the lead in the 35th minute before Raphael Guerreiro added another just before the break and Jude Bellingham made it 3-0 in the 83rd with the hosts powered on by the famed 'Yellow Wall' with 25,000 standing fans.
- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, more (U.S.)
Governing body UEFA has allowed standings fans in some matches in Europe this season, boosting capacity for some teams.
"We've got some tough trips to come. Tonight was a massive game and people maybe don't realise how important the first game is," scorer Bellingham said.
The England international equalled Theo Walcott's record of being the only two English teenagers to make 17 Champions League appearances.
"The key for us is to try and be as consistent as possible, work hard to stay in the competitions as long as possible. If we can stay on this path I think we'll be alright," he said.
Dortmund, missing several players through injury including goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, Mo Dahoud and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, were almost caught by surprise after 20 seconds with Copenhagen captain Zeca's shot hitting the post.
They gradually took control and forward Anthony Modeste, who at 34 became the oldest Dortmund player to make his Champions League debut, fired over the bar after good work from Julian Brandt in the ninth minute.
Portugal international Guerreiro did it much better after a one-two with Giovanni Reyna three minutes before the break to make it 2-0 after Reus had scored the opener.
Dortmund keeper Alexander Meyer, stepping in for Kobel and making his debut for the club, stopped a good effort from Lukas Lerager at the start of the second half to protect their two-goal advantage.
The Danes quickly fell back again and Dortmund should have scored another well before Bellingham completed a quick transition in the 83rd following another assist from Reyna.
Dortmund, whose Belgium international Thorgan Hazard was injured in the 23rd minute, next week play Manchester City, who are in action later on Tuesday against Sevilla in the other group match.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California is facing its highest chance of blackouts this year as a brutal heat wave continues to blanket the state with triple-digit temperatures. State energy officials said the electrical load Tuesday afternoon could top 51,000 megawatts, the highest demand the state has ever seen.
As people crank up their air conditioners, the state forecasted record levels of energy use, said Elliot Mainzer, president of California Independent System Operators, which runs the state’s electrical grid. The state has additional energy capacity at the moment “but blackouts, rolling, rotating outages are a possibility,” Mainzer said, calling additional conservation “absolutely essential.”
The CAISO site Tuesday morning showed California could fall more than 5,000 megawatts short of its power supply at peak demand, forecasted for 5:30 pm.
The danger of wildfires was extreme as scorching heat and low humidity turned brush to tinder. Four deaths were reported over the Labor Day weekend as some 4,400 firefighters battled 14 large fires around the state, with 45 new blazes on Sunday alone, said Anale Burlew, a deputy chief with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
In Southern California, two people were killed and one injured by the Fairview Fire, which started Monday near the city of Hemet, the Riverside County Fire Department said. Roughly 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles, the fire had quickly spread to at least 2,400 acres (971 hectares), prompting evacuations, and was only 5% contained. Multiple residential structures burned.
The dead people were not immediately identified. Authorities said both were found in the same area but it was not known if they were from the same household. They were apparently trying to flee when they were overcome.
California’s energy grid runs on a mix of mostly solar and natural gas during the day, along with some imports of power from other states. But solar power begins to fall off during the late afternoon and into the evening, which is the hottest time of day in some parts of the state. And some of the aging natural gas plants California relies on for backup power aren’t as reliable in hot weather.
At CAISO’s request on Monday, four temporary emergency power generators deployed by the Department of Water Resources in Roseville and Yuba City were activated for the first time since they were installed last year, providing up to 120 megawatts, enough electricity for 120,000 homes.
CAISO also has issued a Flex Alert call for voluntary conservation between 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday, making seven alerts in as many days. Consumers were urged to keep air conditioners at 78 degrees (25.5 degrees C) or higher during the period and avoiding using major appliances such as ovens and dishwashers.
The efforts have worked to keep the lights on “but we have now entered the most intense phase of this heat wave” that could last into the week, and two to three times the level of conservation will be needed from people and businesses, Mainzer said.
CAISO also issued a Stage 2 Energy Emergency Alert from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday. The second of three emergency alert stages means taking emergency energy-saving measures “such as tapping backup generators, buying more power from other states and using so-called demand response programs,” according to a CAISO website. Stage 3 would be rolling blackouts.
Several hundred thousand Californians lost power in rolling blackouts in August 2020 amid hot weather, but the state avoided a similar scenario last summer. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Friday that could allow the state’s last remaining nuclear plant to stay open beyond its planned 2025 closure, to ensure more power.
The National Weather Service predicted highs between 100 and 115 degrees (37.7 C and 46.1 C) across inland California, with 80s to 90s (above 26.6 C and below 37.2 C) closer to the coast. Nighttime won’t bring much relief, with many places seeing lows in the 80s or even 90s (above 26.6 C and below 37.2 C).
Ironically, unsettled weather also brought the chance of thunderstorms over Southern California and into the Sierra Nevada, with a few isolated areas of rain but nothing widespread. The storms also could produce lightning, forecasters said, which can spark wildfires.
South of the Oregon state line, the Mill Fire was 55% contained Tuesday morning after killing two people, injuring others and destroying at least 88 homes and other buildings since it erupted last week, CalFire said. The bodies of the two women, 66 and 73, were found in the city of Weed on Friday, the Siskyou County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday. Details weren’t immediately released.
A few miles away, the Mountain Fire grew to nearly 18 square miles (29 square kilometers) square miles and only 20% contained, with winds threatening to renew its eastward spread in steep terrain, fire officials said.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.

WASHINGTON — The State Department on Friday announced a $1.1 billion arms package for Taipei after weeks of mounting tension with China in the Taiwan Strait following an August visit from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The bulk of the package includes logistics support for Taiwan’s Surveillance Radar Program. It also includes 60 Harpoon anti-ship missiles and 100 Sidewinder tactical air missiles.
“The United States’ swift provision of Taiwan defensive weaponry and sustainment via Foreign Military Sale and Direct Commercial Sale is essential for Taiwan’s security and we will continue to work with industry to support that goal,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson said. “These proposed sales are routine cases to support Taiwan’s continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and to maintain a credible defensive capability.”
The $1.1 billion package must next clear the 30-day congressional review period, where little resistance is expected given Capitol Hill’s robust bipartisan support for Taipei.
The bulk of the package is $665.4 million in logistical support for Taiwan’s Surveillance Radar Program. Taiwan already possess the system, but the new contract — managed by Raytheon Technologies — will include minor modifications and upgrades.
It also includes $355 million for Harpoon missiles, manufactured by Boeing in Missouri, and $85.6 million for the Sidewinder missiles, built by Raytheon in Arizona.
Notably, Taiwan is still waiting on delivery of a $2.37 billion sale announced in 2020 for 100 Harpoon missiles. The 2020 Harpoon sale is part of a $14 billion backlog in foreign military sales to Taiwan, some of which were publicly announced as far back as 2017.
The Senate is expected to take its first crack at ameliorating this backlog next week when it marks up the sprawling Taiwan Policy Act.
The massive bill would provide $4.5 billion in military aid to Taipei while declaring Taiwan a major non-NATO ally — a designation that helps expedite arms sales but falls short of a mutual defense pact. It would also allow the president to “establish a war reserve stockpile for Taiwan that consists primarily of munitions.”
Additionally, it would require the Defense and State departments to “prioritize and expedite” foreign military sales for Taiwan.
The Chinese embassy on Friday called on the Biden administration to scrap its most recent arms sale package, threatening “counter measures” and saying that it “severely jeopardizes” U.S.-China relations.
China launched its largest-ever military drills in the Taiwan Strait last month following Pelosi’s visit, firing missiles over the island and emulating a blockade.

Via Mediaite:
MSNBC host Joy Reid made a provocative connection between former President Donald Trump‘s possession of sensitive documents and a “rash” of deaths among U.S. spies.
On Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, the host connected the dots between the court filing showing the extent of evidence seized from Mar-a-Lago — including — “43 Empty Folders with ‘CLASSIFIED’ Banners” — and reports of U.S. intelligence assets being killed at an unusually high rate.

Returning to the state where he launched his candidacy — and the one that handed him the White House in 2020 — President Joe Biden on Thursday called on Americans to join him in a fight to preserve democracy and to beat back the forces of extremism.
The 30-minute address was equal parts tribute to the nation’s resilience and a wartime call to arms from a president who based his candidacy on restoring the soul of a nation buffeted by the pandemic and four years of domestic unrest.
“For a long time, we’ve reassured ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed,” Biden said, speaking before a nationwide audience in Philadelphia with Independence Hall as his backdrop. “But it is not. We have to defend it. Protect it. Stand up for it. Each and every one of us.”
With little more than two months to go before this November’s midterm elections, Biden drew a stark contrast between Democrats, independents, and “mainstream Republicans,” who support and defend democratic norms, and “MAGA Republicans” who embrace political violence because they cannot accept that they’d lost an election.
“Too much of what is happening in our country today is not normal,” Biden said. “[Former President] Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the foundations of our democracy.”
Biden’s speech came even as Trump, who faces the very real prospect of a federal indictment over top secret documents found at his Florida residence, said he would not rule out pardons to Jan. 6 rioters who sacked the U.S. Capitol and violently attacked law enforcement officers if he regains the White House in 2024.
The optics of Biden’s speech were hard to miss. More than two centuries ago, the Founders, with a bloody revolution barely in the rearview mirror, gathered in Philadelphia to hammer out the framework of a new nation.
Then, as now, the future was hardly assured. Then, as now, there were deliberate choices to be made about what kind of country the new United States of America would become.
What emerged was a nation forged in compromise, with branches of the government designed to counter and temper each other; a system designed to rein in the tyranny of both the majority and the minority. It was a breakthrough, but it was hardly perfect. It was then, and remains now, a work in progress. And it remains as fragile as ever.
Elections, they say, always are about choices. This year, at this point, those choices never have been more clear.
From book bans and efforts to restrict voting rights to the ahistorical insistence that America is a Christian nation (which condemns millions of our fellow citizens to second- and third-class status), these extremists and nationalists seek to turn back the clock on the “faith, freedom and reason,” as the historian Jon Meacham describes it, that the Revolutionary Generation (as flawed as it was) fought so hard to usher into existence.
In these dark times, it’s easy to give into cynicism, to dismiss Biden’s speech as a political pep talk, given in a political season, that was designed to energize the base, and likely would not win him any new converts.
But as he exhorted Americans, in classic Biden fashion, to stand up, to get involved, and to “vote, vote, vote,” it was hard not to feel a cautious optimism that his message would cut through the noise, and hit its intended mark, uniting the country in common purpose.
In his closing pitch, Biden made it clear he believes that’s the case.
“There’s nothing more important, nothing more sacred, nothing more American. That’s our soul. That’s who we truly are. And that’s who we must always be. I have no doubt — none — that this is who we will be and that we’ll come together as a nation. And we’ll secure our democracy,” Biden said, adding, “We just need to remember who we are.”
Whether the passion behind Biden’s plea will work only will be known on Election Day. But the gauntlet has been thrown down.

By Simon Caterson
Robert Harris’ novels are known as page turners, and Act of Oblivion takes this signature feature to the next kinetic level. His latest historical thriller is set in the 17th century during the Restoration period after the Republic briefly established under Oliver Cromwell following the defeat of the Royalists in the English Civil War.
The narrative has such velocity that at times it feels like a sprint to keep up with the main characters, who are running for their lives. Rarely does Harris allow the reader to pause for breath. Two desperate fugitives, Colonel Edward Whalley and his son-in-law Colonel William Goffe, are being hunted as traitors by the regime of Charles II since they, along with nearly 50 allies of Cromwell, signed the death warrant for Charles I, who was beheaded in 1649.
In what for the time was a notable gesture of pragmatic reconciliation with his political and religious enemies, Charles II decreed that those who had risen up against his father were to be pardoned except for the so-called regicides.
Under the Indemnity and Oblivion Act passed in 1660, the regicides were to be pursued and, when captured, brought back to London to be subjected to a form of show trial and then hanged, drawn and quartered. This appallingly cruel, deliberately prolonged and utterly dehumanising method of execution, the unimaginable agony of which Harris describes in grisly detail, was reserved for those men convicted of high treason. (In a perverse expression of chivalry, any woman convicted of high treason under English law was simply burned at the stake.)
The executions were carried out in public and the occasion was witnessed by crowds numbering in the thousands, including children. The remains of any regicide who was already dead were disinterred, torn apart and put on public display.
Immediately upon hearing they have been condemned, Edward and William leave their families and flee England, hoping to find sanctuary in the new English settlements in America. Although many of the American colonists were exiles belonging to religious minorities unsympathetic to Charles II, there are informers and bounty hunters everywhere.
Leading the pursuit of the two men is Richard Naylor, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, whose ruthlessness and thirst for vengeance on behalf of the monarch knows no limit.
While Naylor has no illusions about the hypocrisy, corruption and decadence of the monarchy, he sees the hunt for the two fugitives as a personal quest for retribution following the death of his wife after a miscarriage brought on by a brutal raid by Cromwell’s soldiers on a secret Catholic Mass.
Aside from the fast-paced prose, a feature of Harris’ novels is thorough historical research. Act of Oblivion is no exception. We learn much about the Restoration period, a time when extreme wealth and privilege co-existed with dire poverty and everyday hardship that for us might be difficult to comprehend.
Like other European cities at that time, London had no public sanitation system, and the streets were an open sewer. The infant mortality rate was astronomical and women frequently died in childbirth. This was also the era of plague outbreaks and the Great Fire of London.
Edward Whalley and William Goffe were real people, as are most of the characters in this novel. The fictional Richard Naylor is a compelling villain reminiscent of Javert in Les Misérables or Citizen Chauvelin in The Scarlet Pimpernel. “I suspect there must have been such a person – you cannot sustain a manhunt without a manhunter – but whoever he was, his identity was lost to history,” Harris explains in his Author’s Note.
Similar to his fictional counterparts, Naylor develops an intense relationship with his quarry and gradually becomes obsessed with Goffe’s long-suffering wife, Frances, whom at one point he tries to manipulate into baiting a trap designed to catch her husband.
There are many electrifying scenes in this fast and furious historical thriller that keeps the reader in suspense until the last page.
Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris is published by Hutchinson Heinemann, $32.99.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Coastal recreational anglers can keep suing the state of North Carolina over accusations that government regulators have devastated near-shore fishing stocks in violation of the state constitution, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
The Coastal Conservation Association of North Carolina and more than 80 individuals sued the state in 2020, alleging it had failed its fiduciary duty to protect the state's fisheries from overfishing. Their complaint cited constitutional provisions giving people the right to hunt and fish and making it the state's policy “to conserve and protect its lands and waters for the benefit of all its citizenry.”
The constitutional right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife was approved by voters in November 2018. The “conserve and protect” language cited in the lawsuit was added to the constitution in 1972.
In particular, the anglers blamed the state Division of Marine Fisheries and state Marine Fisheries Commission for allowing excessive for-profit commercial fishing and certain fishing methods that they say have led to dramatic declines in certain fish stocks since 1997. The plaintiffs want a court to declare violations have occurred and to force the state to make changes.
Superior Court Judge Bryan Collins refused last year to dismiss the lawsuit. He rejected arguments by state Department of Justice attorneys that individual rights haven't been violated in the challenged constitutional provisions, which in part only clarifies state policies and functions. The state attorneys also said the state hasn't waived sovereign immunity, which exempts state government from lawsuits unless an agency consents to be sued.
The state appealed Collins' ruling. Court of Appeals Judge Toby Hampson wrote Tuesday that state courts hadn't previously ruled until now whether sovereign immunity bars someone from suing to enforce the state's “public trust” obligations.
The public trust doctrine states that natural resources are held in the government’s trust to benefit current and future generations. But Hampton said a review of North Carolina law by the three-judge panel hearing the case determines that sovereign immunity doesn't bar such claims.
“The doctrine of sovereign immunity will not stand as a barrier to North Carolina citizens who seek to remedy violations of their rights guaranteed under the North Carolina Constitution,” Hampson wrote in the unanimous opinion. And he said the plaintiffs' alleged wrongs — the inability to protect public waters and to carry out the right to harvest fish — can't be addressed through any other means.
The Coastal Conservation Association of North Carolina praised Tuesday's decision, which also was agreed to by Court of Appeals Judge Hunter Murphy and April Wood.
“We look forward to proving our case on the merits and ensuring that sustainable coastal fisheries will be there for our children and grandchildren,” David Sneed, the group's executive director, said in a statement.
Division of Marine Fisheries spokesperson Patricia Smith said state attorneys were reviewing Tuesday's decision and considering whether to appeal it to the state Supreme Court.
The complaint was filed in November 2020. It said fisheries regulators have “continued to allow — and even facilitated — several commercial fishing practices that result in substantial wastage of coastal fish stocks or their prey species, or result in critical habitat destruction.”
Those practices included shrimp trawling in estuarine waters heavily populated by young fish, unattended gill nets, and chronic overfishing of popular species, according to the association. Fish stocks that have declined markedly include weakfish, Atlantic croaker and river herring, the conservation group says.

- Alex Jones stormed out of his first interview since being ordered to pay $49 million to two Sandy Hook parents.
- Jones said he's "done" apologizing for saying the shooting was a government-orchestrated hoax.
- He faces two more trials related to Sandy Hook, one starting next week in Connecticut and a third in Texas.
Alex Jones stormed out of his first post-Sandy Hook trial interview amid an explosive meltdown in which he said he's "done" apologizing to the victims' families.
A Texas jury recently ordered Jones to pay nearly $50 million in damages to the parents of Newtown, Connecticut, shooting victim Jesse Lewis, for falsely claiming the mass shooting was a government-orchestrated hoax.
At the time, Jones admitted in court that the Sandy Hook shooting was "100% real" and apologized for "unintentionally" hurting the feelings of the victims' families.
But in a video interview published Saturday, Jones seems to snap when journalist Andrew Callaghan asks whether Jones felt responsible for what happened to the Sandy Hook families, who have faced harassment from his legion of fans.
"Do I feel responsible that someone that played shoot 'em up video games, was on a bunch of drugs, and then the internet questioned it and I covered that? No, I don't feel responsible, and I don't apologize anymore. I'm done."
Jones gets so worked up talking about Sandy Hook with Callaghan that he eventually storms out of the interview, saying, "I don't know if I can do this interview right now."
Audio of a conversation between Jones and an Infowars employee after Jones left the set was included in the video. The unnamed Infowars employee, whose voice is manipulated to keep for anonymity, is heard calling Jones out for sarcastically yelling that he personally shot and killed the Sandy Hook victims.
"It's still not a funny thing to say," the employee is heard saying.
"Fuck it. I don't give a fuck dude," Jones replies.
Jones did eventually continue his interview with Callaghan, claiming the multi-million-dollar verdict against him was pointless because he doesn't have the money to pay it.
"I don't have $2 million in cash. I don't have stocks and bonds. I don't have all that stuff. So it's like a joke. They can have billion-dollar verdicts, it doesn't mean anything," Jones says.
Jones' company, Free Speech Systems, recently filed for bankruptcy, which some saw as a strategic play to pause the litigation against him. The Sandy Hook families suing Jones have also accused Jones of trying to hide his wealth.
In addition to the recent $49 million verdict, Jones has a Connecticut trial set to start next week involving multiple Sandy Hook parents and an FBI agent, and a third trial back in Texas involving Sandy Hook parents Leonard Pozner and Veronique de la Rosa. Jones has already been found guilty of defamation in each. Jurors will now decide how much the victims deserve in damages.
"The Sandy Hook families ... they're sitting there thinking they're about to get this big payday that doesn't exist," Jones says.
When asked what he would do if he had a time machine, Jones said he'd likely make the same decisions all over again.
"I think I'd do it all again. I think this is going to bring us to something bigger. Technically if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't be caught in that trap, but that's not how the universe works."

Experimental brain implant zaps patients, quells food cravings, helps with binge eating
An experimental surgery in which a small device was implanted into two patients' brains have reportedly curbed the urge to binge eat.
According to a report from the scientific journal Nature Medicine, two California women who were diagnosed with a binge-eating disorder, underwent surgery after several treatments failed to mend their cravings.
In the first of it’s kind procedure, surgeons implanted a small device under the scalp of the patients which wired directly to the section of the brain known for regulating satisfaction and reward. The device sends an electrical jolt to the region which scientists say effectively lowers the craving for food.
The device is able to monitor and detect brain activity that is linked to cravings associated with binge eating. In order for the device to work, the patients wave a type of wand over their head to activate the device whenever they feel the urge to binge eat. This signals the device to send the zap to the brain.
According to the Nature Medicine report, six months after the patients had the devices turned on, they felt more control over their cravings.
"I am fully aware of my cravings," Robyn Baldwin, 58, one of the patients, told NBC News. "Sometimes, I can just stop, take a breath, and say, 'Nope.'"
Longer-term data is expected to be published at a later date to determine the long-term impacts of the device.
It still remains to be seen whether a device like this can be a practical application to most people who suffer from a similar eating disorder.

Millions of Americans set to get tax refunds boosted by $181 in WEEKS as backlog continues — are you eligible?
MORE than 8million tax returns are slowly gaining interest while Americans wait for the payments.
This is the thin silver lining to look forward to for those who have been waiting for months for their return.
Reuters reported the Internal Revenue Service's backlog of tax returns has shrunk slightly to 8.7million as of August 19.
Typically, the IRS has 45 days to process a tax return and issue a refund before interest starts to build.
Starting October 1, the interest rate on unprocessed individual returns will rise to 6% from 5% according to the IRS.
Calculating interest
The amount of interest you earn from the IRS will depend on your refund.
The average return as of April 29 was $3,019, up 5% from last year, according to the IRS.
With the 6% interest rate, this could mean an average bonus of $181.14 for those still waiting on a tax return.
Taxable interest
Most read in Money
The downside of gaining that interest is that it's taxable.
Tommy Lucas, a certified financial planner and enrolled agent, told CNBC anyone who earns interest will have to report it.
Taxpayers who earn interest for a delayed refund will get a Form 1099-INT from the IRS, which must be included on your tax return, he said.
Forgetting to report this could lead to another year of a delayed tax return.
What to do if you're still waiting on your refund
The IRS usually issues refunds in less than 21 days, assuming you filed accurately.
Amended returns can take more than 20 weeks to process, up from the typical 16 weeks, according to the IRS.
Those who are looking to keep tabs on the status of their tax returns can use the IRS’ Where’s My Refund tool.
The IRS updates statuses every 24 hours – usually overnight.
But if you find little help with the tool, sometimes patience is the best course of action.
Start preparing for your 2022 taxes by seeing if any of the stimulus checks you got are taxable.
Plus, see if you're one of the thousands of people in the country who no longer needs to pay state income taxes.

Since July, the state expanded Medicaid to qualifying low-income undocumented immigrants aged 42 and up.
But even with the recent expansion, health care advocates say people may be hesitant about applying.
Luvia Quiñones, the senior health policy director for the Illinois Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition.
“Don’t be afraid to look for what you qualify for," she said. "There are many occasions where someone can be eligible for something and that can be the health insurance or some kind of service.” Quinones was featured in a previous WNIJ story on the state’s Medicaid expansion.
She said some of the apprehension stems from changes in the more than 100-year-old rule regarding public charge made during the Trump administration. This rule refers to public benefits that if an immigrant receives, could count against them in their application for permanent residency.
News surrounding the rule change, which happened during the pandemic, spurred a lot of misinformation. She said it kept some people from getting COVID-19 tests, vaccines and getting treatment when they needed it.
The Biden administration proposed reverting to the old rule earlier this year. In the meantime, the 2019 public charge rule is no longer in effect. But the confusion continues.
Immigrant right advocates like Quinones combat the hesitancy with information and a clear message—healthcare is a human right.
“This message is really important because many people in our immigrant community believe that they don’t have the right to healthcare because of their immigration status, when in reality, your immigration status doesn’t matter,” she said. “We all have a right to healthcare.”
She stressed that immigrants won’t be penalized for using medical services or enrolling in health coverage.
Medicaid Expansion
Quiñones recommends folks reach out to community organizations or their local health departments for information on what healthcare coverage is available to them.
At the DeKalb County Public Health Department, Rocio Marungo, helps all Illinois residents navigate the different healthcare options.
“To verify that you qualify and be certain that you are providing the correct information to the state, it’s important you speak with someone that can submit that application correctly,” Marungo said. “They can get the application here at the county office, they can speak with me.”
Hospital visit
When being treated at a hospital, folks have a right to apply for financial aid or charity care at non-profit hospitals, regardless of their status.
“So, if you live in the state, and apply for financial aid, it will not affect your immigration status” Quinones said.
Community health clinics
At community health clinics residents can receive preventative care and will be charged on a sliding scale.
“It’s really important to visit a doctor for at least a physical exam every year so that doctor’s office has your medical record and medical history,” Marungo said.
Language access
Another barrier to getting healthcare can be language. Under the Civil Rights Act, health services that receive federal funding must make material and services accessible in other languages.
“The interpreter may be available through video, over the phone, or in person,” Quiñones said. “So, a person can request an interpreter at the hospital or clinic so that person can feel most comfortable. So, it should never be a barrier, because they have to provide you with an interpreter.”
Support for finding healthcare
ICIRR helps immigrants and refugees find health coverage.
The coalition can be reached at 855-435-7693. You’ll be prompted to select your language, then choose healthcare. Leave a message with your name, telephone number, the city you reside in, and the care you are looking for. Quiñones said you ought to receive a call back within 24 to 48 hours.
At the DeKalb County Health Department, you can call 815-758-6673 and ask for Rocio Marungo.

WHIDBEY ISLAND, Wash. (AP) — A civil rights activist, a business owner, a lawyer, an engineer and the founder of a winery and his family were on the floatplane that crashed in the waters of Washington state’s Puget Sound, killing 10.
The U.S. Coast Guard released the names of the victims early Tuesday. The body of one of the dead was recovered by a good Samaritan after Sunday afternoon’s crash. The other nine remain missing despite an extensive search.
The Northwest Seaplanes flight was on its way from Friday Harbor, a popular tourist destination in the San Juan Islands, to a Seattle suburb when it went down without sending out a distress call.
The dead include pilot Jason Winters, activist Sandy Williams, winemaker Ross Andrew Mickel, his pregnant wife Lauren Hilty and their child Remy Mickel. Also killed were passengers Joanne Mera, Patricia Hicks, Luke Ludwig, Rebecca Ludwig and Gabrielle Hanna. The Coast Guard did not provide hometowns.
Mickel was the founder of Woodinville-based Ross Andrew Winery.
“We are deeply saddened and beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved Ross Mickel, Lauren Hilty, Remy and their unborn baby boy, Luca,” the Mickel and Hilty families said in a statement. “Our collective grief is unimaginable. They were a bright and shining light in the lives of everyone who knew them.”
The Washington State Wine Commission said in an email that Ross had “an incredible impact on the Washington wine community” and will be greatly missed.
Williams, from Spokane, Washington, was a lecturer, filmmaker, founder of the Carl Maxey Center and editor of The Black Lens, an African American-focused newspaper.
“Sandy was a voice for the voiceless, a tireless advocate for marginalized people in Spokane, a journalist unafraid to speak truth to power, a builder of hope in her vision for the Carl Maxey Center, and a beloved friend to countless members of our community,” The Spokane County Human Rights Task Force said on Facebook.
Thayne McCulloh, president of Gonzaga University, said the community lost a leader, teacher, activist and powerful voice.
“I am devastated to learn of Sandy Williams’ passing and we @GonzagaU extend our condolences to her family, many friends and colleagues,” he tweeted. “Sandy: Rest In Peace.”
Joanne Mera was a business owner from San Diego, The Seattle Times reported. Her niece, Sami Sullivan, said she was visiting family in Seattle when the crash occurred. She leaves behind three children and a husband of more than 30 years, Sullivan said.
“Joanne Mera was someone everyone gravitated towards,” Sullivan said in a statement. “She was the life of any party and the soul of our family. She was the best mom, wife, sister and friend.”
The Ludwigs, a couple from Minnesota, also perished in the crash. Luke Ludwig was an engineering leader with Arizona-based HomeLight Home Loans.
“The entire HomeLight team extends our deepest sympathies to both Luke and Becca’s families, friends, and loved ones,” the company said in an email. “Luke was a deeply devoted father, husband, outdoorsman, and coach for his kids’ sports teams, known for his remarkable kindness and generous spirit.”
Seattle lawyer Gabby Hanna was returning from a friend’s wedding when the plane went down, The Seattle Times reported.
“She was a fierce, fierce young woman, in the best of ways,” her father, Dave von Beck, said in an interview Tuesday. “There are no words to describe the pain. Her family loved her very much.”
The Coast Guard ended the search for survivors Monday afternoon after “saturating an area” of more than 2,100 square nautical miles (nearly 2,800 square miles or 7,250 square kilometers).
“All next of kin have been notified of this decision,” the Coast Guard said on Twitter. “Our hearts go out to the families, loved ones and friends of those who remain missing and the deceased.”
The plane went down in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of downtown Seattle and about halfway between Friday Harbor and its destination in Renton, just south of Seattle.
Whidbey Island resident Jeff Brewny and his wife were walking their dog Sunday when they heard a loud boom.
“First thought was thunder. It was that loud,” he said. “There was no flash like you get with lightning. So, you know, I thought it was a boat exploded. It was that devastating. My dog went crazy.”
The owner of the seaplane company was aboard one of two flights that took off on Sunday, Scott Giard, director of the U.S. Coast Guard’s search and rescue for the Pacific Northwest, said at a new conference.
The owner told authorities he saw the other plane divert slightly off course and he tried to make radio contact but was unable to.
“Shortly after that, he noticed on his flight tracker that the flight had stopped tracking and notified authorities,” Giard said.
Officials received reports that “the aircraft dropped suddenly at a fair amount of speed and hit the water,” Giard said. “We don’t have any video or pictures of the incident as of this moment.”
There was no distress call or distress beacon from the crashing plane, he said. The aircraft has an electronic locating transmitter onboard, but they have not received any transmission.
“That is very typical in times where there is either a hard landing or a crash of an aircraft,” he said.
The cause of the crash is unknown, authorities said.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Monday they’re sending a team of seven to investigate the crash of the DHC-3 Turbine Otter.
Coast Guard searchers found “minimal debris,” Giard said. By Monday afternoon, they had only found three to four long and narrow pieces of aluminum, very few personal items, a seat and some small pieces of foam.
Without a clear picture of the actual crash, and not knowing whether it exploded on impact or immediately sank to the sea floor, 150 to 200 feet (45-60 meters) below, it’s difficult to know what happened to the plane, he said.
Northwest Seaplanes is a family owned business founded by Clyde Carlson, according to the company’s website.
The company’s business office next to the seaplane dock at the Renton Municipal Airport remained closed behind fencing Monday. The only visible activity was two people hugging near the front door.
A woman who answered the phone early Monday said they’re waiting to learn more and are devastated by the crash.
“It’s a small crew. Everyone’s close,” said the woman, who would only give her first name, Michelle. She declined to say more.
The company posted a message on Facebook late Monday saying they are heartbroken.
“We don’t know any details yet regarding the cause of the accident,” the post said. “We are working with the FAA, NTSB and Coastguard. We have been in communication with the families. We are praying for the families involved, including our pilot and his family.”

Stocks closed lower on Wall Street Tuesday, extending the market's losses into a holiday-shortened week.
The S&P 500 fell 0.4% after bouncing between a gain of 0.5% and a loss of 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% and the Nasdaq lost 0.7%.
The major indexes are coming off their third losing week in a row, part of a late-summer slump that erased much of the benchmark S&P 500's gains from July and early August.
Stocks have been losing ground as the Federal Reserve has indicated it will not let up anytime soon on raising interest rates to bring down the highest inflation in decades.
In addition, Wall Street is grappling with worries about a brewing energy crisis in Europe and the implications it could have for the global economy and corporate profits, given that companies in the S&P 500 get half their revenue from abroad, said Michael Antonelli, market strategist at Baird.
"Each day that goes by that we have to talk about an energy crisis or a gas shortage or out of control electrical bills in Europe, the less the market can make constructive headway," he said.
The S&P 500 fell 16.07 points to 3,908.19. The Dow slid 173.14 points to 31,145.30, while the Nasdaq fell 85.96 points to 11,544.91.
Smaller company stocks fell more than the broader market. The Russell 2000 index fell 17.42 points, or 1%, to 1,792.32.
Technology and communications stocks were among the biggest losers. Intel fell 2.8% and Netflix dropped 3.4%.
Bed Bath & Beyond fell 18.4% following the death of its chief financial officer. The company has been suffering from a prolonged sales slump and executive turnover.
The company that wants to take Trump Media public, Digital World Acquisition, plunged 11.4% following reports it didn't receive enough shareholder support for an extension to close the deal.
ADT rose 16.4% after State Farm said it was taking a 15% stake in the home security company.
Markets in the U.S. were closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday.
Trading began Tuesday at the New York Stock Exchange after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy virtually rang the opening bell. He gave a pitch for a program to attract large-scale investments to his country as it continues to battle Russian forces.
Markets have been slipping in recent weeks as inflation remains hot and the Federal Reserve stays on track to continue raising interest rates to try and tame stubbornly persistent high prices. The big concern is that the Fed might go too far in raising rates and slam the brakes too hard on an already slowing economy, potentially causing a recession.
Wall Street has been closely watching economic data for clues that inflation might be easing, which traders hope will give the Fed a reason to ease up on rate hikes. The Fed has already raised interest rates four times this year and is expected to raise short-term rates by another 0.75 percentage points at its next meeting later this month, according to CME Group.
"There's a fairly consensus view now that the Fed is going to be higher for longer and err on the side of inflation reduction over employment and growth," said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide.
Bond yields rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences interest rates on mortgages and other loans, rose to 3.34% from 3.19% late Thursday. The two-year Treasury yield, which tends to track expectations for Fed action, rose to 3.51% from 3.39%.

Howard (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
Howard was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder impingement syndrome in early-August and hasn't pitched in a game since Aug. 7. No target return date is in place, though it doesn't seem the Rangers are in a hurry for the 26-year-old righty to return.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden ended the summer on a legislative winning streak, chalking up victories that once appeared out of reach in this polarized capital. Now he wants to make sure voters reward him for that when they cast ballots in November's big congressional elections.
It's a tough task with gas and grocery prices still painfully high and the daily political news awash with contentious investigations into his predecessor and with repercussions in the states from the Supreme Court's ruling on abortion.
In an attempt to cut through it all, the White House is escalating its campaign to promote new laws designed to repair the economy and help consumers on a personal level, boosting crucial computer chip manufacturing, lowering prescription drug prices, expanding clean energy and revamping the country's infrastructure.
Biden, in a meeting with his Cabinet on Tuesday, said his administration has passed “extraordinary parts of our economic agenda" and provided “proof that democracy can deliver for the people."
His schedule is filling up with trips to promote his policies — Ohio on Friday, Michigan next week — in battleground states where Democrats are facing tight races with Republicans. And his administration is rolling out plans to distribute hundreds of billions of dollars authorized by legislation he has signed.
The president chose John Podesta, a veteran of Democratic administrations, to lead the $375 billion plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to fight climate change. The money is included in a huge bill — dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act by the White House — which also generates new tax revenue to reduce the deficit and limits the cost of prescription drugs.
“People believe that the legislative accomplishments are meaningful when they can feel them or see them," William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who served as a domestic policy adviser to President Bill Clinton, said in an interview.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo announced Tuesday that the administration is preparing to divvy up $50 billion in federal assistance to the computer chip industry, part of a new law known as the CHIPS and Science Act. Companies can apply by February, she said, and the money will be distributed after that.
“With this funding, we’re going to make sure the United States is never again in a position where our national security interests are compromised or key industries are immobilized due to our inability to produce essential semiconductors here at home,” Raimondo said at a White House briefing.
Many of the policies won't pay dividends for months or years to come. Grant applications must be filed and vetted, new bridges have to be designed, regulations written.
But Biden is seizing opportunities to argue that the legislation is already having an impact. On Friday, he's going to Ohio for the groundbreaking of Intel’s new computer chip factory, which Biden called “the biggest investment of its kind ever in our nation.”
The factory was announced earlier this year, but the company said in June that it would be delayed because Congress had not yet passed the CHIPS Act.
“We’re finally bringing home jobs that had been overseas for a while," he said Tuesday.
Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat who is running against Republican J.D. Vance for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Sherrod Brown, plans to join Biden at the event.
Biden makes another trip on Sept. 14 to the Detroit Auto Show to talk about manufacturing electric vehicles in the U.S. as he tries to pair ambitious goals for reducing emissions with promises of new jobs.
His big-money Inflation Reduction Act includes rebates for the purchase of electric cars, although many vehicles won’t qualify because they must include batteries built in North America with minerals mined or recycled here.
This summer's legislative victories helped Biden vanquish the hardening narrative that Democrats were failing to accomplish much of significance despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress. The president plans to hold still another event to celebrate the Inflation Reduction Act, even though he signed it last month.
However, holding voters' attention could prove difficult. Inflation has cooled somewhat but prices remain high, eating away at pocketbooks despite low unemployment and rising wages.
“Compared to where the administration was at the beginning of 2022, the accomplishments are impressive and several of them were accomplished against the odds,” Galston observed. “That said, I continue to believe that circumstances on the ground, as experienced by voters and citizens, are much more influential in determining voter choice than lists of legislative accomplishments.”
Biden has also been leaning on other issues in hopes of driving up Democratic turnout in November. He delivered a speech last Thursday in Philadelphia where he described Donald Trump as a threat to democracy, and he's focused on the proliferation of abortion restrictions in states run by Republicans. The new laws have taken effect in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
At the same time, Biden's approval rating has been ticking upward. The latest Gallup poll showed him with an approval rating of 44%, up from his lowest level of 38% in July.
“These are not good numbers," Galston said. "But at least he’s not sinking and drowning. And there’s hope that his nostrils will clear the water line in the not-too-distant future.”
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will embark on a month-long tour touting Biden's achievements ahead of the midterms, starting in Detroit on Thursday.
She's expected to meet with business owners and local leaders before delivering a speech. In addition to talking about modernizing the IRS and cracking down on tax evasion among the rich and big corporations, Yellen plans to address “the existential threat posed by climate change."
“In the process of boosting domestic clean energy production, the law will support our energy security and insulate us from the type of fossil fuel-driven energy volatility that we’ve seen in the past year,” Yellen will say, according to speech excerpts provided to The Associated Press.
Yellen’s September tour includes stops planned in North Carolina, the Washington, D.C., area. Then there's an October speech at the 157th anniversary of the Freedman’s Bank Forum to talk about how the president’s economic agenda “advances equity and makes our economy stronger as a result.”
Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company was created by Abraham Lincoln in 1865 to provide economic opportunity for newly emancipated slaves.

Stocks closed lower on Wall Street Tuesday, extending the market's losses into a holiday-shortened week.
The S&P 500 fell 0.4% after bouncing between a gain of 0.5% and a loss of 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% and the Nasdaq lost 0.7%.
The major indexes are coming off their third losing week in a row, part of a late-summer slump that erased much of the benchmark S&P 500's gains from July and early August.
Stocks have been losing ground as the Federal Reserve has indicated it will not let up anytime soon on raising interest rates to bring down the highest inflation in decades.
In addition, Wall Street is grappling with worries about a brewing energy crisis in Europe and the implications it could have for the global economy and corporate profits, given that companies in the S&P 500 get half their revenue from abroad, said Michael Antonelli, market strategist at Baird.
"Each day that goes by that we have to talk about an energy crisis or a gas shortage or out of control electrical bills in Europe, the less the market can make constructive headway," he said.
The S&P 500 fell 16.07 points to 3,908.19. The Dow slid 173.14 points to 31,145.30, while the Nasdaq fell 85.96 points to 11,544.91.
Smaller company stocks fell more than the broader market. The Russell 2000 index fell 17.42 points, or 1%, to 1,792.32.
Technology and communications stocks were among the biggest losers. Intel fell 2.8% and Netflix dropped 3.4%.
Bed Bath & Beyond fell 18.4% following the death of its chief financial officer. The company has been suffering from a prolonged sales slump and executive turnover.
The company that wants to take Trump Media public, Digital World Acquisition, plunged 11.4% following reports it didn’t receive enough shareholder support for an extension to close the deal.
ADT rose 16.4% after State Farm said it was taking a 15% stake in the home security company.
Markets in the U.S. were closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday.
Trading began Tuesday at the New York Stock Exchange after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy virtually rang the opening bell. He gave a pitch for a program to attract large-scale investments to his country as it continues to battle Russian forces.
Markets have been slipping in recent weeks as inflation remains hot and the Federal Reserve stays on track to continue raising interest rates to try and tame stubbornly persistent high prices. The big concern is that the Fed might go too far in raising rates and slam the brakes too hard on an already slowing economy, potentially causing a recession.
Wall Street has been closely watching economic data for clues that inflation might be easing, which traders hope will give the Fed a reason to ease up on rate hikes. The Fed has already raised interest rates four times this year and is expected to raise short-term rates by another 0.75 percentage points at its next meeting later this month, according to CME Group.
“There’s a fairly consensus view now that the Fed is going to be higher for longer and err on the side of inflation reduction over employment and growth,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide.
Bond yields rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences interest rates on mortgages and other loans, rose to 3.34% from 3.19% late Thursday. The two-year Treasury yield, which tends to track expectations for Fed action, rose to 3.51% from 3.39%.

The Philadelphia 76ers have some backup big man help for Joel Embiid.
The Sixers have agreed to a two-year contract with free agent center Montrezl Harrell in a move that will reunite him with coach Doc Rivers, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the deal has not been announced.
Harrell was the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2019-2020 when Rivers still coached the Los Angeles Clippers. Harrell averaged 13.1 points and 6.1 rebounds in 71 games last season with the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.
The 28-year-old Harrell was a second-round pick in the 2015 draft by the Houston Rockets and will also be reunited in Philadelphia with executive Daryl Morey. He has averaged 12.9 points in 458 games with five teams.
Harrell is expected to be a significant improvement at the backup center spot behind Embiid. The Sixers had been poised to use Paul Reed and Charles Bassey as backups, but Rivers prefers to play veterans. He now has one he knows and is more comfortable with as the Sixers attempt to win their first NBA championship since 1983.
Embiid was the league scoring champion and gutted out the playoffs with torn ligaments in his right thumb, playing with a mask to protect his broken face and the lingering effects of a concussion.

A Madison nonprofit arts organization commissioned 11 artists to paint 15 fire hydrants as part of an upcoming Sunday event to honor the fallen victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Madison Public Art Project is calling its project "Vibrant Hydrant," whose photos depicting each artist's design will be on display during the celebration of remembrance set for 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11 at the Monona Fire Station on 5211 Schluter Road.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Major League Baseball Players Association asked management Tuesday to voluntarily accept the union as the bargaining agent for minor leaguers.
Bruce Meyer, the union’s deputy executive director, sent a letter to MLB Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem that claimed a majority of minor leaguers had signed authorization cards.
The MLBPA, which reached its first collective bargaining agreement for major leaguers in 1968, launched the minor league unionization drive on Aug. 28. Players with minor league contracts, who earn as little as $400 weekly during the six-month season, would become their own bargaining unit within the MLBPA.
If MLB does not voluntarily accept the union, signed cards from 30% of the 5,000 to 6,5000 minor leaguers in the bargaining unit would allow the union to file a petition to the National Labor Relations Board asking for a union authorization election. A majority vote in an election would authorize union representation.
“Minor league players have made it unmistakably clear they want the MLBPA to represent them and are ready to begin collective bargaining in order to positively affect the upcoming season,” MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said in a statement.
The union did not say what percentage of minor leaguers had signed authorization cards.
MLB did not immediately comment on the letter.
Players with major league contracts average more than $4 million and have a $700,000 minimum salary while in the big leagues. Their minimum is $57,200 while on option to the minor leagues, with a first major league contract and $114,100 if a second or later big league contract.
MLB raised weekly minimum salaries for minor leaguers in 2021 to $400 at rookie and short-season levels, $500 at Class A, $600 at Double-A and $700 at Triple-A. For players on option, the minimum is $57,200 per season for a first big league contract and $114,100 for later big league contracts.
In addition, MLB this year began requiring teams to provide housing for most minor leaguers.
Major League Baseball and lawyers for minor leaguers agreed this year to a $185 million settlement of an eight-year-old federal lawsuit alleging violations of minimum wage laws, a deal that may be finalized next year. An early estimate is that perhaps 23,000 players could share roughly $120 million with an average payment of $5,000 to $5,500, and their lawyers will split $55.5 million.

A growing number of businesses are going cashless, meaning they are no longer accepting cash as a form of payment. Instead, customers who shop at these businesses have to use credit or debit cards, or a form of mobile payment, like Apple Pay, to make purchases.
Some people on social media claim banning cash is illegal. Many of the social media posts highlight a statement appearing on all U.S. paper currency that says “this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.” The social media users argue that purchases are debts, therefore businesses are legally required to accept their cash – or legal tender – as payment.
VERIFY viewer Tim says he recently encountered a cashless concession stand during a trip to a local stadium and he emailed our team to ask if that violates federal law.
THE QUESTION
Does federal law require businesses to accept cash?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
No, there is no federal law that requires businesses to accept cash. Private businesses are “free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise,” according to the Federal Reserve.
WHAT WE FOUND
There is no federal law mandating that a private business accept cash as payment for goods or services, according to the Federal Reserve. However, the U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve both say that private businesses are “free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.”
Legal tender is defined by Title 31 of the U.S. Code of Laws. The law says that U.S. coins and currency are “legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.” But this means that the cash is worth the amount it represents — it does not mean that a private business must accept the cash.
The Treasury Department says there is a long history of businesses restricting cash, such as a bus line that may prohibit payment of fares in change or dollar bills.
“In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy,” the Treasury Department explains.
More from VERIFY: No, Starbucks is not going cashless at all locations
Although there is no federal law that requires businesses to accept cash, there has recently been a push for that to change. The Payment Choice Act would require businesses with a storefront nationwide to take cash for transactions that are less than $2,000. The bill was folded into a defense bill and passed in the House earlier this year, but it is still awaiting action in the Senate.
Some cities and states, like Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Colorado, also have laws that require local businesses with a storefront to take cash, with some exceptions.
More from VERIFY: Yes, the Facebook internet tracking settlement is real

Smobler Studios commits to working with The Sandbox, one of the leading decentralized metaverses, to help onboard brands and services to pay it forward through its signature Metaverse for Good platform. An academy to train metaverse creators is also in the pipeline .
SINGAPORE, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading metaverse architecture firm has announced that it has successfully raised USD$1.2 million at the close of its seed funding round. The creative outfit has garnered backing from The Sandbox decentralized gaming virtual world, Brinc, an accelerator and venture capital fund and Enjinstarter, a Web3 launchpad.
Founded by Dr Loretta Chen, a creative director, media veteran and professor and Ruel Sarmiento, a skilled artist, experienced gamer and trained architect. Smobler Studios, which stands for "small furniture" in Swedish was created over the pandemic when Sarmiento spent his free time experimenting with The Sandbox and soon stumbled upon the Game Maker Fund which was then in its infancy.
The Game Maker Fund is an initiative that supports creativity in The Sandbox's metaverse by funding both individuals and small/medium size creators' projects, providing assistance in publishing their game. Capitalizing on Chen's and Sarmiento's expertise as brand builders and master storytellers, the duo conceptualized a sprawling, colourful exposition space called Cobbleland that brings together brands, communities, non-profit organisations and gives young or budding entrepreneurs of minority groups a platform to launch their ideas and promote their businesses in a gamified environment.
The studio has since onboarded The Food Bank Singapore, which feeds the food insecure in Singapore, as well as Aventis Graduate School, the first in Asia to offer a metaverse campus to provide a source of low cost education to the ASEAN region. Says co-founder Sarmiento, "There is an opportunity to democratize education for up to 100 million students who are keen on executive education but may not be able to afford it."
"I'm always thinking about how to use our platforms to create more opportunities for diversity, equity inclusion," adds Chen. "We are keen to push the boundaries of knowledge to explore the possibilities of virtual spaces and interactions. By harnessing Web3 technology, we support meaningful brands and non-profits and use the metaverse as a platform for social good." Both local and international brands as well as NGOs have already jumped on the bandwagon.
Smobler Studios seed funding round was backed by The Sandbox open Metaverse.
"We're shaping the metaverse to become a new digital nation without frontiers, with a culturally-rich digital space that is diverse and inclusive – where everyone can become a creator without requiring any specific set of skills," said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. "We're proud to support the Smobler Studios team led by Dr Loretta as they fully share our vision and have dedicated themselves to make a strong impact toward onboarding millions of people into the creators' economy with equal opportunities for jobs and success through education without barriers."
Manav Gupta, Founder and CEO of Brinc says "Our mandate is to support game-changers determined to use new, creative methods to overcome challenges, and Smobler Studios does just that". Gupta adds, "Their traction, technical expertise and ability to deliver unique experiences in the Web3 space, alongside their sustainable pay-it-forward directive that promotes inclusivity cemented their candidacy for our accelerator program. With our guidance, we are excited to support the next phase of their growth."
Enjinstarter's CEO and Co-Founder, Prakash Somosundram echoes these sentiments, "Enjinstarter is honored to participate in Smobler Studios' growth as we are really impressed by the work that they have done to date. With their focus on impact and venture philanthropy, we believe working closely with them will allow us to change the way we do good."
"The metaverse appealed to us as we saw it as an opportunity to bring communities closer together, especially in a post-pandemic world where there has been a shift in living habits and lifestyles toward greater digital interaction. We can either sit back to watch idly or lean in to actively participate to co-create the metaverse" says Chen.
The metaverse has been the talk of the town since Facebook changed its name to Meta in October 2021 and pledged to invest $10 billion in its Reality Labs operation in 2022. Bloomberg Intelligence envisions the metaverse opportunity reaching $400 billion by 2024.
The seed funding will enable the Smobler Studios team to scale up its operations, form joint ventures to create a voxel art and gamemaker academies to train a new sector of virtual architects and metaverse designers as well as expand its reach into Asia, Latin America, Canada where Sarmiento is based and the USA where Chen resides.
"We are deeply appreciative of all our investors who are supportive of us, especially in this bear market. We do not take their generosity for granted and will ensure we work hard to co-create a Metaverse for Good we can all be proud of," says Chen.

Married at First Sight UK is set for a dramatic affair scandal as 'one of the wives decides to run off with another husband and causes absolute chaos'
- Married at First Sight UK is reportedly set for affair scandal in a couple of weeks
- One of the wives is said to run off with another husband on the E4 series
- A source told The Sun that the scenes are 'dramatic' and 'caused absolute chaos'
Married at First Sight UK is set for a shocking affair scandal as one of the wives runs off with another husband, a source has claimed.
The newlyweds, who all met for the first time at the altar, discover the secret betrayal in a 'hugely dramatic' episode which will air in a couple of weeks time on E4, reported The Sun.
A source claimed the scenes make the 'drama of last year look like an episode of Antiques Roadshow', referring to when 2021 contestants Megan Wolfe and Jordan Mundell kissed, despite being hitched to other people.
Although they didn't announce the names of the pair who strayed, the show has already seen an infidelity; April Banbury cheated on father-of-four husband George Roberts on their honeymoon with a female hotel guest.

Although the source didn't announce the names of the pair who strayed, the show has already seen an infidelity; April Banbury cheated on father-of-four husband George Roberts on their honeymoon with a female hotel guest
The source told the publication: 'One of the wives decides to run off with another husband, and it will cause absolute chaos when the truth comes out.'
'It's going to be a massive talking point, both on the show, and also amongst viewers. It will blow the experiment wide open and be hugely dramatic. Fans won't see it coming.'
Former Miss Great Britain April, 32, was 'intimate' with another woman off camera while holidaying in Jamaica with financial advisor George, 40, as they celebrated their commitment to each other after saying 'I do' in a romantic wedding ceremony.
In explosive scenes of the E4 series, George confronts April over the passionate kiss she shared with the woman behind his back, as he's hit by the realisation: 'I've been cheated on.'

A TV insider told MailOnline: 'April passionately kissed a woman while on honeymoon with George.
'He did not expect her to behave in such a way once they had committed to each other and the experiment and for him it was massively disappointing.
'April said that the kiss happened as part of a dare but it's still not what you expect from your wife while you're on honeymoon together.
'The trust was instantly broken – George shouldn't have to worry about April kissing anyone else while he's not around.'
Show producers predicted that the couple would be the 'fairy-tale match of the series' but their romance is rocked on their honeymoon by April's infidelity.
April, 32, who's a dress designer from London, wed George, 40, on last week's instalment of the series
George confronted the former Miss Great Britain over the passionate kiss she shared with a woman behind his back in explosive scenes
In a preview clip, a shocked George said: 'April has been intimate with someone else… I've been cheated on f***.'
April, who's a dress designer from London, wed George on last week's instalment of the series.
She was left stunned after discovering that her new husband is a father-of-four and had been previously married for 12 years.
George admitted to instantly feeling the chemistry between him and April and later said he was 'punching' after discovering she was crowned Miss Great Britain in 2020.
The newlyweds, who all meet for the first time at the altar, discover the secret betrayal in a shocking episode which will air in a couple of weeks time on E4
April told George, who shares three daughters and a son with his ex-wife, that she's uncertain children are in her future after her own mother abandoned her when she was eight years old, and she's since struggled with rejection.
She explained: 'My issues that I have in my love life stem from rejection. When I was eight years old my mum left and I felt so rejected by her. I felt what did I do wrong? Why didn't you want me? Why didn't you love me?
'I was raised by my dad and my Nan. I was lucky that I had the support of my Nan. She gave me everything and I felt so lucky to have her. I always thought I was to get married then she'd be there. Her passing pushed me to start finding myself again and I moved to London.'

AUSTIN (KFDX/KJTL) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday that he is endorsing incumbent state Rep. David Spiller for Texas House District 68.
“From border security to cutting taxes to defending your values from the far left, David Spiller is one of Texas’s strongest conservatives on the issues,” Abbott said. “It’s my honor to endorse Representative David Spiller.”
Spiller won the 2022 Republican primary election after receiving 68.2% of the votes, defeating challenger Mark Middleton, who was indicted by a federal grand jury in May 2021 along with his wife for charges connected to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Spiller will run unopposed for the TX-68 seat after no Democratic candidates filed for the 2022 Democratic Primary, meaning none will appear on the November 2022 ballot.
Spiller, Jacksboro’s former city attorney, was elected to represent District 68 in 2021 after defeating Nocona businessman Craig Carter in a runoff election.
Prior to the election of Spiller, the last person to sit in the House District 68 seat was Drew Springer, who stepped down from the role after being elected to the Texas Senate District 30 seat.
Currently, Texas House District 68 includes Hardeman, Jack, Montague, Throckmorton, Wilbarger, and Young counties.

PAUL NEWMAN: Chubby as a kid and nicknamed the 'heavy roller', now Yorkshire batsman Harry Brook can be... England's next big thing
- Harry Brook is set to make his much-anticipated Test debut on Thursday
- But his journey to the top could easily have been derailed by fitness issues
- Martin Speight took the shy 14-year-old under his wing at Sedbergh School
- His mentor will be in the crowd when England face South Africa at the Oval
Harry Brook will look the epitome of the modern England cricketer when he makes his much-anticipated Test debut against South Africa tomorrow.
But his journey to the top could easily have been derailed by issues that had nothing to do with his ability with the bat.
Martin Speight took Brook under his wing when he arrived as a shy 14-year-old looking anything but a prospective professional at Sedbergh School in Cumbria where the former Sussex and Durham batsman is now director of cricket.
Harry Brook is set to make his much-anticipated Test debut against South Africa on Thursday
‘When I played you didn’t have to be super fit, it was just how good a cricketer you were,’ Speight tells Sportsmail. ‘But you have to be an athlete now and Harry was not, shall we say, very athletic when he arrived.
‘During lockdown I had a Zoom call with Harry and he described himself when he was at school as the heavy roller. He was very poor at running and not athletic at all but clearly a very talented cricketer.’
So Speight got to work with the young Yorkshireman as much off the field as on it. ‘He knew he had to get better,’ says Speight. ‘We arranged for him to see the school athletics coach and for two years he spent two sessions a week basically learning to run well.
‘He got himself into the gym and started working hard at everything he did. It took him a while but he became the whole package. That was key to his development.’
But overhauling the heavy roller was far from the most significant part Speight has played in the making of an exciting talent who will tomorrow step in for the injured Jonny Bairstow at the Kia Oval after being in the England Test squad all summer.
Speight was somewhat ahead of his time in the 1990s as an unorthodox stroke-maker and was one of the first to start sweeping faster bowlers, and it was to him that Brook turned to correct a technical issue that emerged in his early years at Headingley.
The batsman will step in for the injured Jonny Bairstow against South Africa at the Kia Oval
‘He did very well in his first year after leaving school but he had some flaws that had crept in and a few years ago we completely rebooted his set-up, stance and his triggers,’ says Speight, 54. ‘The end product is four years later he is where he is.
‘Harry always stood very still at the crease but as time went on he started putting too much weight on his back leg. His hips and shoulders would open up and his bat would come down from gully. He’d play across straight balls or nick ones that weren’t really doing a lot.
‘He spoke to me and said, “This isn’t working”. He felt he needed to go back and across and set himself up to know where his off-stump was.
‘Even now he’ll send me videos asking what I think and I’ll say, “Your head has dipped a fraction there” and he’ll go off and work at it. If he hadn’t made that change he wouldn’t have gone on. He had to solve that flaw but he’s steadily got better and better.’
Brook was a promising if unathletic youngster
So much so that Brook, now 23, will fulfil an ambition that first took shape in the impressive setting of Sedbergh when he worked with Speight all those years ago.
‘We are incredibly proud of him,’ says Speight, who has maintained his hobby of painting from his playing days to his life at Sedbergh and has held numerous exhibitions of his work.
‘Harry’s a great lad. He respects the game and wants to be a Test cricketer. It’s always been his dream and I hope he gets the opportunity on Thursday. He should do.’
And his mentor will be in the crowd at the Oval tomorrow to see his old charge on the biggest day of his career. ‘I still speak to Harry most days,’ adds Speight. ‘I think he just likes having someone as a sounding board he’s known for years which is a treat for me and hopefully helpful for him.
‘As soon as Harry heard about Jonny’s injury he rang me and said, “I’ve got a ticket for you. I want you there”.
‘The headmaster has given me permission to miss school. I’ll be on the first train down and last one back.
‘I want to be there for his first day if he bats or not.’
POPE TOLD STOKES: I'M YOUR NO 3
Ollie Pope is delighted he made the phone call to Ben Stokes at the start of this summer that has re-ignited his Test career.
Pope took the initiative to ring the new captain and put himself forward for the problematic No 3 position for England’s Test reboot. And he has been rewarded with a century and two scores of more than 50 in a run of five wins in their six Tests under new management.
Now he will play at his home ground of the Kia Oval — he called it the ‘home of cricket’ yesterday — in the final Test against South Africa.
Ollie Pope took the initiative to ring England captain Ben Stokes and put himself forward for the problematic No 3 position
He averages 88.5 in 30 innings with nine centuries there, and is confident that he has made the No 3 position his own.
‘I wasn’t sure how Ben took it at first,’ said Pope of his fateful phone call. ‘I just remember thinking there was one spot available and it was the first time I’d felt I could be successful at three — the way I was playing county cricket and the hard work I’d put in.
‘When Baz (coach Brendon McCullum) called me to tell me I was in the squad I was not only buzzing but I thought it was a chance I didn’t want to miss out on.’
England will be without Jonny Bairstow for this LV= Insurance series decider after his freak injury playing golf last week, but Pope has no doubts his replacement Harry Brook, who will make his Test debut, is ready for the ultimate step up in this series decider.
‘I’ve been on Under 19 tours with Harry and he’s a seriously good player,’ added Pope.
‘He’s been in ridiculous form in the Championship and he’s a hundred per cent got the game to take that into Test cricket.’

The U.S. has reached an important milestone in the pandemic, according to federal health officials.
Going forward, COVID-19 could be treated more like the flu, with one annual shot offering year-long protection against severe illness for most people.
"Barring any new variant curve balls, for a large majority of Americans we are moving to a point where a single, annual COVID shot should provide a high degree of protection against serious illness all year," said White House COVID response coordinator Ashish Jha at a press briefing Tuesday.
The federal government has started rolling out a new round of boosters for the fall — they are updated versions of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines targeting both the original coronavirus and the two omicron subvariants that are currently causing most infections.
These vaccines could be tweaked again if new variants become dominant in the future, which is how the flu shot works. Every fall, people get a new flu vaccine designed to protect against whatever strains of the virus are likely to be circulating that season. The hope is the COVID boosters will act the same way.
Jha cautioned that older people and those with health problems that make them more vulnerable to severe disease may need to get boosted more often. But for most people Jha hopes this latest booster will be the last shot they need for at least another year.
Throughout the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has been incredibly unpredictable and has been evolving much faster than anyone expected, so officials say they will continue to monitor the virus closely and they are ready to reprogram the vaccines again if necessary.
"You've got to put the wild card of a way-out-of-left-field variant coming in," said White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, at the briefing. If that happens he says the recommendations may change. But, "if we continue to have an evolution sort of driving along the BA.5 sublineage," he says the annual shot should be able to cover whatever is out there as the dominant variant.
But there is still a lot of debate about just how much of an upgrade the new boosters will really be. Some infectious disease experts are not convinced the updated vaccines will be a game-changer, because they haven't been tested enough to see how well they work.
"I think the risk here is that we are putting all our eggs in one basket," Dr. Celine Gounder, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told NPR. "We're only focusing on boosting with vaccines. I think the issue is people are looking for a silver bullet. And boosters are not a silver bullet to COVID."
Federal officials are concerned that a low number of people will sign up for the new boosters, following a low demand for the initial booster shots. According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention only 34% of people over 50 have gotten their second booster.
So, as we head into the winter, the administration is urging everyone age 12 and older to get boosted right away to help protect themselves and the more vulnerable people around them. People have to wait at least two months since their last shot and should wait at least three months since their last infection. But they can sign up to get a COVID booster at the same time as a flu shot.
Because Congress has balked at providing addition funding to fight the pandemic, the new boosters are likely to be the last COVID shots provided for free. People who have insurance will get them covered through their policies. The administration says it's working to make sure those who are uninsured have access to future COVID-19 vaccinations.

How to look stylish, but be comfortable
MoviePass has returned — the popular subscription service that lets you watch the movie you want in the theater you want is back. This means movie night is no longer limited to your couch. You can enjoy all the latest releases as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen. It also means you have to get a little more dressed up than just Crocs and a onesie. How do you look chic and stylish at the movies without sacrificing comfort? Here are a few ideas.
In this article: Mango Women’s Linen Jogger Trousers, Women’s Simply Vera Vera Wang Ruched Open-Front Cardigan and Birkenstock Honnef Low Suede Leather
What is MoviePass?
MoviePass is the third-party subscription service that gives moviegoers the best bang for their buck. In fact, it gave audiences such a great deal that the company went bankrupt. Now, MoviePass is back with tiered pricing and negotiated partnerships with movie theaters. The changes are predicted to help both MoviePass and movie theaters thrive.
Three key considerations for movie attire
For many, it may be a couple of years since you’ve been in a movie theater. There are three things you want to remember when choosing a look for the occasion.
- Comfort is key: Going to the movies is a casual event. You want your clothes to both look and feel comfortable.
- Style is still important: Your clothes can be comfortable without looking like you’re at a sleepover. When the lights come up, you might be ready for a drink or a bite to eat. Don’t let your clothing limit your evening’s adventures.
- It can get chilly: Even if the thermostat isn’t set in the 60s, sitting still for 120 minutes can make you feel a little chilly. You probably don’t need a winter coat, but an extra layer that can be removed (if needed) is always a good idea.

Celtic 0-3 Real Madrid: European champions handcuff Scots' lightning in arresting show
Last updated on .From the section Celtic
When Luka Modric ghosted into the Celtic penalty box, found the sliver of space he needed, and curled his shot past Joe Hart with the outside of his majestic right boot, you had to sit back and admire a genius at work.
Thirty-seven on Friday, the great man is still a thing of wonder. All those league titles and all those Champions Leagues and yet he remains as hungry and as classy as ever.
In that moment - and to borrow a line from Muhammad Ali, who delivered a knockout blow or two of his own in his time - he handcuffed Celtic's lightning, threw their thunder in jail. In his orchestration of this Madrid team, Modric's so mean he makes medicine sick.
At 2-0 there was no way back for Celtic. Long before it became three - death by passing leading up to Eden Hazard's goal - a stadium that had been gloriously raucous had been reduced to near silence, a home support that spent the first half in thrall to their deeply impressive team now knew that the game was up.
- Bold Celtic outclassed by clinical Real
- Podcast: 'Postecoglou sounds disappointed... that's encouraging'
The lesson, not that anybody needed reminding of it, was writ large across the Glasgow sky. If you don't take your chances when you are on top - and Celtic were most definitely on top in the opening half - then you're liable to suffer when playing against the elite.
Allow a champion off the ropes and they're going to take you out - and Real did. First through the slickness of Federico Valverde linking with Vinicius Junior - the double act that came up with a Champions League-winning goal last season - then through Modric and, finally, through that blizzard of passing and movement finished off by Hazard.
Fine margins make difference in brutal terrain
Cruel? Perhaps, but this is brutal terrain Celtic are exploring now. Savage and yet, in the minutes leading up to kick-off, utterly compelling and ear-splittingly loud.
The big-time had returned to Celtic Park, and how Celtic Park basked in it. Zadok the Priest blasted out across the east end of Glasgow and, in the those early moments of giddy hope, there was something celestial about the place.
We wondered if Celtic could impose their style, Ange Postecoglou's style, on a team with all the trophies in the world, players replete with La Ligas and Champions Leagues, Bundesligas and English Premierships. There was a World Cup winner in there in Germany's Toni Kroos, a Copa America winner in the shape of Brazil's Eder Militao.
Pretty much every individual bauble known to man had been won by one or other of the visiting superstars, but it was Celtic who set the agenda from the get-go.
They had a chance inside 40 seconds, Liel Abada's shot being deflected wide. They won two corners inside a minute. They were sharp and relentless and should have gone ahead. That's what will hurt them. The could'ves and should'ves will have frustrated them massively.
Abada had a second chance after 13 minutes. What a moment. Jota to the Israeli and into a wide open expanse he went. The speed of thought was electrifying and too much for Real.
The Israeli went in on Thibaut Courtois but going one-on-one with Courtois is different gravy than going one-on-one with Jon McLaughlin or any of the other Premiership goalkeepers that Abada has routinely beaten in his season and a bit in Glasgow. He couldn't execute - and it was costly.
In real time, and with Celtic playing with such verve, you thought another moment might soon follow and it did, but they were denied again. Reo Hatate drilled one at Courtois, who punched clear.
Celtic worked like dervishes to get it back and Callum McGregor lashed a shot off the inside of a post. The goalkeeper was frozen to the spot. Helpless. The woodwork saved him. Celtic Park reverberated to the sound of 60,000 angst-ridden souls.
Their tempo was exhilarating in these minutes. We were getting an insight on what Celtic might be capable of against the greatest sides on the continent, albeit without the succour of that breakthrough goal.
When Karim Benzema went off injured after half an hour, the occasion was robbed of one of the world's finest players, but his exit looked to be good news for Celtic. More Los Blankos than Los Blancos. When you're breathing a little sigh of relief that Hazard is coming on instead of Benzema, you're reminded that life is different now, though.
Celtic kept Real pretty quiet for 45 minutes. Vinicius Junior had a chances that Joe Hart dealt with but beyond that they didn't throw many shapes. Postecoglou's side defended well, battled hard and played their football. They stayed true to the manager's philosophy. No sign of a bus being parked. This was a team having a go.
Early in the new half, Daizen Maeda had a wonderful opportunity, close to goal and in as much space as he would have dared to dream about. He mis-hit it. Painful.
Eight minutes later, Real came out of punching and when they punched, those punches landed. They blew Celtic away in four gorgeous minutes. The stuff of champions. The very reason why they are the best.
There was no real calamity by any Celtic player in any of this, no howler. They were moved slightly out of position and that's all Real needed. Fine margins. Little lapses of concentration. The game was done at 2-0. The third was mere decoration.
Postecoglou shouldn't worry a heap about this. He saw enough from his players to suggest more productive nights may lie ahead against Shakhtar and Leipzig.
They were beaten, handsomely in the end, but they'll have learned a tonne from this. Next stop, Shakhtar. A winnable game against a fellow mortal. Another shot. A night of opportunity.

I was on Married at First Sight UK – these are the wedding day secrets producers REALLY don’t want you to know
IT'S the dating show famed for bitter rows, cheating scandals and scores of Ofcom complaints.
And after being teased as the "wildest series yet", the new season of Married At First Sight UK definitely hasn't disappointed.
But according to former contestants, what you see on screen is only half of the story, with much of the drama happening behind the scenes.
From fake wedding cakes to producers plots, last year's star Alexis Economou reveals the bits you don't see.
'They approached me'
In previous years, the MAFS team claimed more than 1,500 singletons applied to the show, but Alexis insists: "They approached me."
The star, who is a model and TikTok presenter, was in discussions with the production team for ITV's The Circle when the dating show got in touch.
While she was "skeptical" at appearing on MAFS, she agreed because she "was awful at choosing guys" herself and longed for lasting love.
'Filming starts before match confirmed'
The production team started filming Alexis' backstory in February last year, despite her not knowing told whether she had a match or not.
She told The Sun: "It was like being in limbo and it's a big commitment with all of the background work they do."
Most read in The US Sun
Phone ban after 'leak' fear
MAFS contestants are sworn to secrecy and on the morning of their wedding have their mobile phones confiscated.
However, last year’s roster lost them earlier because producers "feared a leak", according to Alexis.
"They came into my room and were like, ‘We need to take your phone off you’, which was a shock because I had two days until my wedding," she recalled.
“They believed cast members were speculating about who another person’s husband might be. So they took our phones away to be safe.”
Multiple wedding takes
Ahead of the wedding, Alexis says future brides and grooms are sent “six options” for details like flower arrangements, table colours and decor.
Both of the singletons' selections are then combined for their big day.
Alexis says the wedding day felt "more like a movie" because of the extensive filming schedule.
She says the vows, entering the church and leaving were all filmed multiple times.
Not only that, shortly after saying 'I do', the husband and groom are immediately separated for interviews.
Alexis believes this is to ensure the "first conversations" are caught on camera and for viewers to get their "first reactions" before getting to know the person.
This led to embarrassment for the star, as while she excitedly spoke about fancying hubby Jordon Mundell – he said she wasn't his type.
Alexis added: “It’s intense and strange. You’re trying to enjoy your wedding but are constantly conscious of the cameras and production team running around, fixing lighting and changing lenses.”
She also confirmed that the weddings “are not real or legally binding”.
Fake cake, stingy booze & no music
A few surprises were in store at the reception too, with Alexis revealing her wedding cake was “not real” and “was rock hard inside".
She also said “no music” was played during her big day - apart from one Ed Sheeran song that she requested - due to difficulties with copyright and getting music cleared.
She said: “It’s very weird, you find yourself questioning if it’s real or a movie.
"Also, only the bride and groom drink champagne - every other table gets a bottle of red and white wine.
"The public thinks the wedding is one big party but it's definitely not as crazy as they think."
Freezing guests
Alexis said it wasn't the more comfortable wedding for some family and guests because they "were freezing".
She says they “had to be given hot water bottles" to stop their teeth chattering.
The star also suggested that conversations were forced by camera crews – including "when you talk to friends".
Splits to ramp up tension
Alexis says producers “deliberately separated people with tension” to “build tension” and ensure any outbursts were caught on camera.
It included her and wellness coach Megan Woolfe's rift after it was revealed that she shared a secret snog with Jordon.
“They kept us away from each other for days on end even though we were next door to each other,” Alexis said.
Intense filming
Alexis says filming days were “intense” with dinner parties and commitment ceremonies lasting up to 17 hours.
“Hours are very long, some days we left at 8am and didn’t return until 1am," she recalled.
"There were a lot of breaks but they are feeding you a lot of alcohol too.
“What they would do is give you five bottles - but you would have to pace yourself to avoid being too drunk or tired.”
Three takeaways a day
Alexis gained one-and-a-half stone during her time on the show because the couples drank booze nearly every day and ate a takeaway for every meal.
"I was still happy with how I looked with clothes I brought with me but wasn’t to happy when some things didn't fit," she said.
She's since dropped three dress sizes and is back to being around eight stone but remembers an embarrassing moment while filming.
Alexis said: "One of my dresses broke during the second commitment ceremony and others didn't fit because of all the takeaways and alcohol every day."

Do you see yourself as a leader or a follower? What if there was a third way to view yourself? There is, and it can breathe life into your work. This alternative perspective is to see yourself as someone who serves.
Those who serve operate at an entirely different level from the typical boss or worker. To serve eclipses positions and titles, making work itself take on an altogether new meaning.
Let's explore this different way of working for a company, someone else, or even yourself!
A different perspective
What comes to mind when you hear the word "serve"? Is it serving tables, serving in the military, "to protect and serve" as a police officer, or some other way?
In this article, I will share the secret that took me from a laborer's position as a young man to the CEO of a multi-hundred-million dollar organization. I served in business for several decades, with many successes and some failures, and found the easiest way to succeed is wrapped up in one word – serve.
One of the most honorable things a person can do in their life is to serve others.
"The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity." Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
Sadly, many of those called to serve the people only serve themselves. Have you noticed how many in politics, the entertainment industry, and those in the media fall into this category?
The most accomplished people in history found their way to greatness by serving others. Why should it be any different for us in our personal or work lives?
Think about the environment created by a leader who has everyone else's interests at heart. Don't think they are pushovers. They genuinely care for people. Such a person usually possesses great resolve and tenacity, accomplishing much more through people than any tyrant could.
There is something about a good leader that makes people want to follow them. In a nutshell, it is this – they treat others as people, not as objects to serve their purposes. They do not see people as a vehicle to get what they want, as an obstacle in their way, or as irrelevant. They see people as people, as fellow human beings, deserving respect.
Those who serve
An example of a person who had a heart to serve, not just those around Him but the entire world, is Jesus Christ. He once said:
"Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all." Jesus Christ in Mark 9:35b
Plenty of others followed the same philosophy of serving. Some of them include Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Albert Schweitzer, to name a few. Their significance came not through their desire for greatness, fame, power, or fortune. It came through their heart to serve others through selflessness and humility. They saw the value in other people and did not devalue them.
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
The self-serving
The opposite of a person who serves is the self-serving individual. They want to be served rather than serve. They do not value people as individuals but rather see them as a means to get what they want, as being in their way, or they don't see them at all.
There have been many people in history who fit this category. Some became notoriously famous because of their terrible deeds. Committing widescale murder, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao Zedong alone had more than 150 million deaths attributed to them. These people were completely selfish and self-serving. They greedily sought fame, honor, and fortune. The only one they served was themselves and their evil desires.
"The shortest short-term investment is to serve ourselves." Craig D. Lounsbrough (1963-present)
Which do you choose?
The contrast between the two extremes of serving and self-serving people in history is stark. On one side, you have those who serve others selflessly, like Jesus. Yet on the other side, you have those that serve themselves selfishly, like Hitler.
Regardless of what you do for a living, with which type would you rather work? The one that serves others, or the self-serving one?
The one who serves creates a welcoming, open, less judgemental atmosphere. Self-serving people create the opposite, with an atmosphere of tension, conflict, strife, and harsh judgment.
The good thing is you can personally choose to act in a serving manner, regardless of where you live or work. There is no lasting benefit to acting in a self-serving way. Ever. Yet there is plenty to be gained by acting in an other-serving manner.
It is a straightforward choice, is it not?
"Our rewards in life will always be in direct ratio to our service." Earl Nightingale (1921-1989)
Serving your way to the top
A fundamental truth in life is that you inevitably come out on top when you choose to serve. To start on the serving path, simply take steps in the right direction. What is the destination in that direction? To become an employee or manager that is other-serving and not self-serving.
The following steps will take you in the direction of serving, which will lead to accumulating significance and success in life.
- Be Positive. Maintain an optimistic, upbeat outlook each day. Nothing drags a workplace down like an employee with a bad attitude. And nothing motivates those in a workplace more than an employee with a great attitude. You get to choose which way to be daily. Choose the positive and not the negative. Choose the good and not the bad.
- Help others. Whenever possible, help those around you. You become a model employee when you maintain an attitude of being at work to serve.
- Be consistent. Little is more valuable than a disciplined employee you can count on daily. They are always on time, follow through on their tasks, and pitch in to help others, making them respected, appreciated, and practically invaluable.
- Appreciate your work. When you value your work and the workplace, the organization will place more value on you. Always remember that what you appreciate appreciates not only to you but also to those around you.
- Maintain a serving heart. When your heart is at peace and set on serving others, rewards naturally flow. There will be something about you that will be different from the typical person. Others will likely see you as a model to follow.
- Serve with humility. Being humble with humility is not the same as being weak. It takes far greater strength to be humble than to be selfish. When your intentions are well-placed, you are far from a doormat.
Should anyone attempt to treat you poorly, they are playing the self-serving game. It will catch up with them, and in due time they will fail.
Do what you can to help such people learn a better way. If they are unwilling to learn, set boundaries, and stay away from them if possible.
"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself." Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
If you are in management and can promote someone, choose those with a heart to serve others. You will rarely go wrong in doing so. Suppose you are an employee and desire a promotion. In that case, you will easily stand out from the crowd by taking on a heart and attitude of serving others. The more committed you are to this way of being, the more you will reap the rewards of more opportunities, promotions, and greater earnings.
Final thoughts
The level you are at in an organization is where your current thinking has placed you. To move up the ladder, continue to grow, and change how you think. This new and improved thinking can take you right to the top. Your rise can be rapid when you understand and experience the benefits of serving others.
The choice is clear. You can choose to be self-serving or choose to serve others. Choose the better way. Choose the path to greatness.
One final note on serving. It is not only valuable at work. Serving those you care about, such as your spouse, family, and friends, will tremendously benefit your life. Little else can bring you the caring, peace, respect, and love of serving others.
I challenge you to take to heart the wisdom of a man of peace who served greatly and apply it to the remainder of your life.
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" Martin Luther King (1929-1968)

Mehmet Oz, the celebrity physician and Trump-backed Republican Senate nominee in Pennsylvania, said on Tuesday that he would have voted to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election had he been in office at the time.
Asked at a press conference if he would have objected to the certification of the election results, Oz said that it is the job of the Senate to approve the Electoral College vote and that, had he been in the Senate at the time, he would have done so.
“I would not have objected to it,” Oz said. “By the time the delegates and those reports were sent to the U.S. Senate, our job was to approve it, which is what I would have done.”
While Oz’s latest remarks could help him counter Democratic attacks and appeal to a broader slice of the electorate, it also puts him at risk of alienating former President Trump and some of the Republican Party’s most loyal voters.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him and pushed lawmakers last year to object to the certification of the election results. The certification process on Jan. 6, 2021 was disrupted when a mob of the former president’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. That riot is now the subject of a congressional investigation.
Oz, who was endorsed by Trump shortly before Pennsylvania’s primary election earlier this year, narrowly clinched the nomination to succeed retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). He’s facing Pennsylvania Lt. Gov John Fetterman (D) in the general election in November.
Recent polling shows him trailing Fetterman, fueling Republican concerns that they could lose one of the most sought-after Senate seats of the 2022 midterm election cycle.
A survey from Emerson College released last month found Fetterman leading Oz by 5 percentage points, while an earlier Franklin & Marshall College showed Oz trailing by 13 points.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Mexico’s foreign minister on Wednesday will visit a port of entry at the Chihuahua-New Mexico border to talk about North American supply chain issues and how local industry can help ease the crisis.
Marcelo Ebrard will share details about such a plan during a news conference at the San Jeronimo, Mexico-Santa Teresa, New Mexico, port of entry, his office said.
Santa Teresa is one of the fastest-growing commercial truck entry ports along the U.S.-Mexico border and served as a critical safety valve earlier this year when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered strict state truck checks that strangled truck traffic coming from Mexico into El Paso.
The fact that a high-ranking Mexican official will be at the port of entry is an encouraging sign for future development, industry leaders on both sides of the border said.
“I know Chihuahua has been in touch with (Ebrard’s) office about getting more infrastructure at San Jeronimo. That he is here is a very encouraging sign and we hope the Mexican government – which has already indicated it is a priority for them – will put more infrastructure in place, which is very important to us,” said Jerry Pacheco, president and CEO of the Santa Teresa-based Border Industrial Association.
The federal government recently funded a feasibility study for port expansion on the U.S. side. But the infrastructure to accommodate more trucks, more cargo and oversized cargo are pending on the Mexican side.
Santa Teresa’s industrial parks directly support nearly 6,000 jobs in New Mexico, according to a study by New Mexico State University’s economics department. San Jeronimo’s computer boards, electronics and candy factories generate 9,000 jobs for Mexican residents, Pacheco said.
The foreign minister also plans to meet with industry leaders in Juarez to talk about the maquiladora foreign-run assembly plant network there, according to the Juarez Chamber of Industry.
“San Jeronimo-Santa Teresa is strategic because of its location. It allows Juarez industry to export (goods and parts) to two contiguous states – Texas and New Mexico – through a land port,” said chamber President Thor Salayandia.
He said Abbott’s truck inspections highlighted the importance of having an outlier port of entry capable of absorbing more truck traffic from Juarez.
“It is a very important option that should have been utilized since a long time ago. It has great industrial capabilities on the U.S. side, it has lots of water in Santa Teresa and they have an intermodal train hub. We have much electricity on the Mexican side and, above all, we have a lot of people in West Juarez willing to work but few maquiladoras operating there,” Salayandia said.

ATLANTA, Georgia - (US Satire) - "Toxic Trump" has finally admitted that he knows that he is one fucked up son-of-a-bitch racist; but he can't help it because it's in his Hereditary genes.
Trump's physician Dr. Yang Fu Fi gave him a thorough physical and the good doctor deduced three things: (1). Trump's complexion is orange as hell. (2) Trump smells like a damn Big Mac, and (3). Cheeto Face has fingers that are the size of the fingers of a 6-year-old boy.
Regarding his pathological racism, DJT said that he inherited the racist gene from his father, who got it from his father, who got it from his mother, Tomasina Trump.
Tomasina Trump, used to tell her friends and relatives that if she had lived during the times of the Civil War, she would have owned hundreds and hundreds of slaves.
Boom Boom News has reported that Tomasina Trump, who used to dress up in KKK dresses, even had a tattoo on her bikini line that read: "Dis here white gal she be bedder dan any of dem black plantation cotton pickers lemme shust sey."

Poison Ivy #4 – G. Willow Wilson, Writer; Marcio Takara, Artist; Arif Prianto, Colorist
Ray – 9/10
Ray: Much like a few other comics right now, Poison Ivy feels like an anthology in some ways. Yes, there are ongoing subplots, but every issue finds Ivy in a different situation often with a completely different supporting character. That means that each issue can vary dramatically in quality—and when they hit, they hit on all cylinders. Ivy’s mission to spread the fungi as far as she possibly can has taken her to a factory for an Amazon-like distribution company, where she joins a crew of underpaid workers. But the factory has a big problem—a sleazy boss who hires the marginalized and ruthlessly exploits them, including sexually harassing the female employees. It doesn’t take long for Ivy to get a speech that this guy basically doesn’t consider her a human being, and she soon finds that this treatment isn’t something she can tolerate—and that means bad things for the lounge lizard in charge.
Ivy is hard to like in this comic, because she is essentially fighting to commit genocide. Even in this issue, her plan to distribute the fungi across the world via the boxes shipped is monstrous. But then she turns around and deals out some brutal justice to a sexual harasser as she tries to make the world a better place for the workers at the facility. That’s a fascinating duality—how can Ivy do good things like this for people when she intends them to be dead within months? A lesser writer would have been left with a rather confused character, but instead Wilson leaves us with a deeply wounded, lonely woman filled with regrets and seeking love. She finds connections—be they friendship with a lonely old woman, or a torrid love affair with a factory worker this issue—and then she’s forced to leave them behind. We get our first hints at a major villain this issue, but just following Ivy’s journey is fascinating enough.

The U.S. has reached an important milestone in the pandemic, according to federal health officials.
Going forward, COVID-19 could be treated more like the flu, with one annual shot offering year-long protection against severe illness for most people.
"Barring any new variant curve balls, for a large majority of Americans we are moving to a point where a single, annual COVID shot should provide a high degree of protection against serious illness all year," said White House COVID response coordinator Ashish Jha at a press briefing Tuesday.
The federal government has started rolling out a new round of boosters for the fall — they are updated versions of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines targeting both the original coronavirus and the two omicron subvariants that are currently causing most infections.
These vaccines could be tweaked again if new variants become dominant in the future, which is how the flu shot works. Every fall, people get a new flu vaccine designed to protect against whatever strains of the virus are likely to be circulating that season. The hope is the COVID boosters will act the same way.
Jha cautioned that older people and those with health problems that make them more vulnerable to severe disease may need to get boosted more often. But for most people Jha hopes this latest booster will be the last shot they need for at least another year.
Throughout the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has been incredibly unpredictable and has been evolving much faster than anyone expected, so officials say they will continue to monitor the virus closely and they are ready to reprogram the vaccines again if necessary.
"You've got to put the wild card of a way-out-of-left-field variant coming in," said White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, at the briefing. If that happens he says the recommendations may change. But, "if we continue to have an evolution sort of drifting along the BA.5 sublineage," he says the annual shot should be able to cover whatever is out there as the dominant variant.
But there is still a lot of debate about just how much of an upgrade the new boosters will really be. Some infectious disease experts are not convinced the updated vaccines will be a game-changer, because they haven't been tested enough to see how well they work.
"I think the risk here is that we are putting all our eggs in one basket," Dr. Celine Gounder, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told NPR. "We're only focusing on boosting with vaccines. I think the issue is people are looking for a silver bullet. And boosters are not a silver bullet to COVID."
Federal officials are concerned that a low number of people will sign up for the new boosters, following a low demand for the initial booster shots. According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention only 34% of people over 50 have gotten their second booster.
So, as we head into the winter, the administration is urging everyone age 12 and older to get boosted right away to help protect themselves and the more vulnerable people around them. People have to wait at least two months since their last shot and should wait at least three months since their last infection.
People have to wait at least 2 months since the last shot and should wait at least three months since their last infections. But they can sign up to get a COVID booster at the same time as a flu shot.
Because Congress has balked at providing addition funding to fight the pandemic, the new boosters are likely to be the last COVID shots provided for free. People who have insurance will get them covered through their policies. The administration says it's working to make sure those who are uninsured have access to future COVID-19 vaccinations.

The Lakers’ LeBron James typically hosts a players-only minicamp somewhere on the West Coast before training camp starts, so stay tuned. Word is that another Lakers minicamp is likely in coming days and that Russell Westbrook would indeed attend if it comes together. Any sort of pre-camp gathering involving LeBron and his fellow purple-and-gold vets would represent a key step in the Lakers’ efforts to move past all the tension that bubbled throughout last season’s rocky 33-49 campaign, bringing James and Anthony Davis together with Westbrook and the newly acquired Patrick Beverley before the Lakers report for their first practices under new coach Darvin Ham on Sept. 26. -via marcstein.substack.com / September 5, 2022
Ohm Youngmisuk: Russell Westbrook didn’t just watch Patrick Beverley’s press conference from the side. He made sure Pat Bev looked good, tossing him a towel to wipe his sweat from working out. Pat Bev: “First dime of the year.” Russ laughed. The Lakers point guards on the same page so far. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / September 6, 2022
Jovan Buha: Patrick Beverley says he’s excited to play with Russell Westbrook. He thinks the two complement each other well and will fit. He says he’s never played with someone who has the same grit and toughness as him. He also acknowledged they’ll have tough conversations at some point. -via Twitter @jovanbuha / September 6, 2022
Ohm Youngmisuk: Patrick Beverley believes he and Russell Westbrook will be a backcourt to be reckoned with. He says he’s long wanted to play with Russ. Pat Bev was sweating from a workout during his presser and Russ tossed him a towel. Pat called it the “first dime” of the season from Russ. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / September 6, 2022

CLEVELAND (AP) — A wolf briefly escaped its habitat at an Ohio zoo but was recaptured, and no guests or employees were hurt, authorities said.
Officials at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo said the female Mexican gray wolf “briefly breached its habitat” at about 10:20 a.m. Monday.
Jacqueline Gerling, director of communications at Cleveland Metroparks, said the wolf “was able to access the guest path” for about five minutes. Gerling said staff “acted quickly to establish a perimeter around the wolf” and the animal was secured by the animal care team and reunited with the other wolves.
Gerling said the zoo has five of the wolves and the other members of the pack were secured in an off-exhibit holding area at the time. She said the zoo “takes these incidents very seriously, training for these types of scenarios on a regular basis.”
Gerling said officials are still gathering details on how the animal was able to escape.
The zoo’s website says the Mexican gray wolf, canis lupus baileyi, is the smallest of the gray wolf subspecies — 54 to 66 inches (137 to 167 centimeters) in length from snout to tail and weighing 50 to 90 pounds (22 to 40 kilograms). Their coat is a varied mixture of tan, red, white, and black fur, with darker colors on their head, shoulders and back.

- Man City beat Sevilla 4-0
- Foden on the scoresheet
- Perfect start to Champions League
WHAT HAPPENED? The academy player was impressive in the 4-0 Champions League victory away to Sevilla, scoring the second and being heavily involved in both of Erling Haaland's goals.
WHAT THEY SAID: "Phil has an incredible thing, lately he isn’t playing too good like normal, but he always does the job, and runs and fights and is stable for the team," Guardiola said. "I'm pretty sure the goal and assist is going to help him. He is dynamic and his work ethic... you can play bad, but every single game Phil does it. That’s why he deserved to play."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The academy graduate has started all of Manchester City's Premier League and Champions League games this season and although Guardiola's side remain unbeaten, they dropped points in draws away to Newcastle United and Aston Villa.
STORY IN THREE PHOTOS:
DID YOU KNOW? Manchester City have now won six of their last seven opening group games in the Champions League.
WHAT NEXT FOR MAN CITY? The Premier League champions face Tottenham, who beat Manchester City home and away last season, at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

In the southland, there’s a city, way down on the Sassagoula River. Okay, it’s not really a city, it’s more of a hotel. Disney’s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter brings all the charm of classic New Orleans and is offering a slew of resort-specific merchandise.
One of the more popular lounges in the whole of Walt Disney World, Scat Cat’s Club allows guests to tap their toes to some swingin’ jazz and enjoy a full-service bar featuring Southern-inspired specialty cocktails, craft beer and appetizers. The Club can be brought home after guest visits in the form of new travel cups and comfy t-shirts.
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter is also known for one of the more delicious snacks at Walt Disney World, the legendary beignets. Select merchandise also celebrates these delectable treats.
The classic logo for the resort also adorns a Corksicle canteen water bottle and a Tommy Bahama long sleeve shirt.
The design of the French Quarter buildings is also featured on a mug with the logo, and gives a Christmas tree ornament a bit of dimension.
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort even has their own ears, which have subtle hints to Tiana from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Princess and the Frog.
Given the theme of the resort and the setting for The Princess and the Frog, it’s no surprise that Tiana has become the unofficial mascot for the resort, and appears on her own line of Port Orleans Resort merchandise that also features other characters from the 2009 film.
Guests can get their hands on Tervis cups, pins, t-shirts, magnets, and more Christmas ornaments featuring characters from the film alongside the resort logo.
This collection of merchandise is resort specific, which means it can only be found at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter at Walt Disney World.

Rebels not satisfied with double-digit win vs Troy
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Not a lot to quibble with in Ole Miss’ first game victory against the Troy Trojans Saturday in Oxford, unless you’re Rebels Head Coach Lane Kiffin.
The 28-to-10 win went pretty much as expected for a team working in a new quarterback, replacing record-setter Matt Corral, who’s now in the NFL.
But, there’s always some Kiffin will find in his coaching eye that need some tweaking or fine-tuning, and his players better pay attention.
“Y’know, as you look at things, it’s 28-3, you got 2 different chances to go up 35-3 and kind of blow the game open,” Kiffin said. “We screwed up with a turnover. A missed through that could be a touchdown. Unfortunately, we didn’t put them away, so it’s a good lesson to learn. As we play better teams, we know we can’t get away with some things that happened in the game. Especially, the 3 turnovers in one half of football.”
The Rebels get another tune-up for game two.
Ole Miss hosts Central Arkansas at 6 p.m. Saturday at Vaught Hemingway Stadium.

Nosotros and Brisa team up ahead of WSL finals
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Just as the WSL finals are set to begin in Lower Trestles, Nosotros and Brisa Hennessy announce their partnership. Nosotros Founder and CEO, Carlos Soto, and pro-surfer Brisa Hennessy are both Costa Rican natives with strong ties to the place they call home – a connection that is undeniable and paved the way for this partnership.
Carlos and Brisa represent the best of Costa Rica, drawing on the values and lessons they learned throughout their lives to create their brands. While both have left Costa Rica, core principles of sustainability, simple living, and enjoying time with loved ones have stayed with them.
"Thinking about our first big partnership was a big move for Nosotros, and there was no question that Brisa was who we wanted to pursue that with. While Brisa and I have taken different paths from one another, there are few people whose story resonates with me more than hers. We are connected through our parallel upbringings and decisions to cultivate something meaningful that ties back to the pura vida spirit that we both believe in, and I feel proud to support an up and coming Costa Rican female athlete. She is particularly an inspiration to young girls back home," said Carlos Soto of Nosotros. "We truly cannot wait to cheer for Brisa in the WSL finals and see what we can build together!"
Brisa, in the midst of the most successful season of her young career, is top of mind for everyone in the surfing world as she heads into the WSL Finals. On this first-of-its-kind partnership, Brisa added, "When I found out that Nosotros wanted to work with me, I was sold. I feel so deeply connected to the values that the brand embodies thanks to its Costa Rican roots. Having the Nosotros name on my board is truly exciting and I can't wait to make them proud in Trestles this week. It is important to me to work with brands who understand who I am and what I value. Because of that, it is a true honor to represent Costa Rica, and to work with Carlos, who does the same. I hope we are both making Costa Rica proud."
Tune in for the WSL finals, to cheer on Brisa, whose board features Nosotros.
Founded in 2017, Nosotros became the winner of the San Francisco World Spirit Competition, claiming the "World's Best Tasting Tequila" title just a few months after joining the marketplace with Nosotros Blanco. Since then, Nosotros has also launched Nosotros Reposado, Nosotros Mezcal (Espadín y Tobalá), Tesla Tequila, and now their Nosotros Madera Collection. Nosotros is centered around creating unforgettable and authentic experiences with loved ones. Visit www.nosotrostequila.com and @nosotros.

Clarksville's ward 2 without a candidate; Vondell Richmond ineligible to seek re-election
Clarksville's ward 2 is now without a candidate in the Nov. 8 city council election.
Current Ward 2 Councilperson Vondell Richmond had petitioned the Montgomery County Election Commission for candidacy, pending a determination of whether he met the commission's eligibility rules regarding residency.
There had been growing questions about whether Richmond currently resides within the boundaries of his ward, a key requirement for holding a seat on the council.
Early this week, local Administrator of Elections Elizabeth Black said there is not sufficient evidence that Richmond lives inside the boundaries of ward 2.
"It was determined that there wasn't sufficient evidence of his residency, and he (Richmond) did not come to our meeting where his residency eligibility issue was discussed," Black said. "So therefore he was ruled ineligible."
Black added that Richmond had been notified of the matter in writing. The Leaf-Chronicle reached out to Richmond for comment on Tuesday morning.
The city of Clarksville is divided into 12 representative wards with distinct geographical boundaries. In what may be a historical first for Clarksville city politics, the ruling leaves ward 2 without a qualified candidate on the Nov. 8 ballot in the State General and Clarksville City Elections.
No one had sought to potentially run against Richmond, and now the candidate qualifying deadline with the Election Commission has passed.
The last big race:Candidate qualifying wraps ahead of Nov. 8 Clarksville City Election
From the Home Front:For those elected in 2022, congratulations, now go be transparent
The other alternative on Nov. 8 is for someone to be elected as a write-in candidate on the ballot. There is an Election Commission deadline of noon, Sept. 19, for any prospective ward 2 residents to have a certificate of write-in candidacy submitted.
However, Black said, this does not mean anyone who meets the certification deadline will appear on the ballot.
"Write-in candidates are only on the ballot when their names are added by the voting public, and it would be up to the candidates, themselves, to educate voters in ward 2 about their write-in candidacy, and their correct name spelling," she said.
The only other alternative for filling the ward 2 seat, if there are no write-in candidates, is for the council itself, to select a new councilperson early in the coming year.
Otherwise the current ballot includes a full slate of city council candidates, including three people seeking the Clarksville mayor's seat — current Mayor Joe Pitts against David Allen and Ascension "Big Sarge" Lopez.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia will be looking for its third health officer since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Gov. Jim Justice announced Tuesday that Dr. Ayne Amjad is stepping down effective Oct. 1. She will continue to serve as a senior health adviser and appear in the governor’s weekly COVID-19 briefings.
Amjad said she will return to private medical practice in Beckley.
“I do miss seeing my patients,” Amjad said. “That’s a great bond for me and a great way for me to know really what is going on.”
Amjad was appointed to her role as health officer and public health bureau commissioner in July 2020. That came a month after Gov. Jim Justice forced out the previous commissioner, Cathy Slemp, after the governor said virus cases in the state were overstated.

Knoxville company recalls beef jerky products due to possible listeria concerns
(Gray News) - The United States Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday that the Magnolia Provision Company, Inc. issued a recall regarding its beef jerky products, due to possible contamination of listeria monocytogenes.
The Knoxville company recalled all beef jerky items that were produced on Aug. 25.
The company advises avoiding consumption of the Beef Jerky Experience Chop House Style Prime Rib flavored beef jerky that displays an expiration date of Aug. 25, 2023.
The products recalled have an establishment number of “8091″ inside the USDA mark of inspection.
USDA says the items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the establishment reported that it received confirmation from its third-party lab that a product contact surface sample returned positive for listeria.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
