MONTEREY, Calif. (AP) — What’s 10 points worth? That’s what Will Power hopes he doesn’t find out while trying to close out the closest IndyCar championship fight in nearly 20 years.
Power takes a 20-point lead into Sunday’s season finale at Laguna Seca Raceway over six-time champion Scott Dixon and Josef Newgarden, Power’s Team Penske teammate and a two-time IndyCar champion. Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson remains in contention, as does Scott McLaughlin, who sits 41 points behind teammate Power.
In all, five drivers mathematically have a shot and two contenders, reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou and Pato O’Ward, were only eliminated last Sunday in IndyCar’s closest title race since 2003 — when the Indy Racing League was called “The IRL.”
But there are plenty of Power fans who believe the Australian could have had some breathing room in this title fight had Team Penske done him any favors.
McLaughlin last week dominated at Portland to win his third race of the season and Power finished second to retain his hold on the points lead. Power definitely did not have a car as good as McLaughlin’s, but challenger Dixon was closing fast behind him in both the race and title fight.
If Team Penske had called for “team orders” and asked McLaughlin to cede the lead to Power, he’d have 10 additional points over Dixon and Newgarden. The call Dixon considered a “no-brainer” never came and now Power must finish no lower than third to clinch the title.
Those additional points could have taken some of the pressure off Power to be perfect on Sunday and helped him preserve the hold he’s had on the championship three different times this season, including the last four races.
Even though Power was calling for the team orders over his radio at Portland, he knows that Team Penske has never used them and it’s the fairest way to manage three individual teams.
“They’ve never done that. When you think about it, it would have been unfair on Josef to do that because if I was in his position, I would not be happy to be put 30 points back,” Power said Thursday. “ From a team perspective, it was a fair thing to do. It would be great to get 10 points. But yeah, Team Penske doesn’t do that.”
Dixon and Ericsson are teammates at Chip Ganassi Racing and understand how the boss wants them to race.
“I think the thing Chip stresses is that you race clean, you race fairly, you help your teammates and you hope the organization wins,” Dixon told The Associated Press. He added that the Penske trio “do seem to race more singularly.”
It’s a sensitive topic in that team orders are essentially manipulating both the outcome of the race with a focus on the championship picture. It is common in Formula One but typically not popular, and although it’s been illegal in NASCAR since a 2013 scandal, teammates and manufacturer allies can and do often subtly help each other on the track.
It’s not so clear-cut in IndyCar, and not always subtle: there’s been wide speculation that McLaughlin allowed Newgarden to take the lead and the win after a late restart at Gateway last month. McLaughlin has said publicly that Newgarden, his close friend and co-host of their YouTube series, used “the slipstream effect” to pass him fairly.
Team Penske has weaved through the team orders issue since Sunday at Portland, while Dixon admits that Chip Ganassi Racing races with the greater organization in mind. And while Penske and Ganassi have teamed to win 14 of the last 16 IndyCar championships, nine have gone to Ganassi, including the last two.
Power, coincidentally, was on the losing end of three consecutive title races from 2010 to 2012 and finished runner-up twice to a Ganassi driver. He won his only title in 2014, his only Indianapolis 500 four years later, and has had to go head-to-head with his Penske teammates every year.
Coming off his the worst season of his 14 years driving for Roger Penske — Power had career lows in nearly every category and was ninth in the final 2021 standings — he’s returned at top form.
He attributes it to now being 41 years old and a father, which have both mellowed many of his quirks and matured his approach to performance. Although he has only one win this season, Power has been remarkably consistent with an average finish of sixth and at Gateway tied Mario Andretti for most poles in IndyCar history with 67.
But he’s been seemingly cast away at Penske, where the tight bond between Newgarden and McLaughlin has made Power the odd driver out of the cool club on a three-car team. Power wasn’t really joking when asked about McLaughlin allegedly giving Newgarden the Gateway win and said “that’s his best buddy, so he is probably going to do that.”
Penske team president Tim Cindric seemed irritated this week by the entire topic. He first dismissed Dixon’s take as “a little mental game going on” with Power because “if you focus on last week, you’re not focused on this week.”
Cindric, who is also Newgarden’s strategist, then brushed off the insinuation no team orders were called at Portland because padding Power’s lead would have dropped both Dixon and Newgarden to 30 points out.
“That was never a consideration,” said Cindric. “From all-the-eggs-in-one-basket perspective, or Will versus Josef, no, certainly not. Not one of the considerations there.”
Cindric grew curt when, still on the team orders topic, he was asked if seeing Dixon drive into third at Portland didn’t make him consider cycling Power into the lead.
“If we have another restart, Dixon passes both of them, then how do you feel?” he retorted.
Dixon explained the four drivers at Ganassi work as teammates and have some added help Sunday since Palou and Jimmie Johnson aren’t racing for the title. It won’t be the case at Penske.
“All of us have a general understanding that if there’s a point you can help your teammate, that’s what you are going to do,” Dixon told AP. “But I think their situation is a little bit different between Josef and Will. By all means, Josef will be trying to beat Will. I don’t think there will be any help there. At all. No help at all from Josef.”
That’s how it goes, Cindric insisted, with Penske’s decision to run three championship-contending full-time cars. Newgarden has won a series-high five races this season, McLaughlin is next with three and Power’s lone victory gives Team Penske nine victories through 16 races.
“When it comes to team orders, that type of thing, people forget that you have other obligations to other people aside from yourself,” Cindric said. “You have obligations to the driver, to your sponsors, to their families and all the rest on down the line. Those aren’t very obvious things, especially when you’re talking about whether someone wins a race or doesn’t win a race.
Mike Hull, Cindric’s contemporary at Ganassi, said his drivers will race professionally with integrity. But he, too, shifted away from the team orders concept by pointing out that IndyCar, on pace for its most watched season since 2008, is the real winner come Sunday.
“Who wins here is IndyCar. With the success that IndyCar is having this year with the absolute strength that’s created in growth, they’re going to win,” Hull said. “It comes down to the quality teams racing with quality drivers. I think that’s a testament to how far the series has come in a very short period of time with its ownership and with the direction that its ownership is creating.”
IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Ganassi won the Indy 500 this year with Ericsson, have been owned by Roger Penske since 2020.

Even the world of tourism is strangled by expensive energy, despite the record numbers of the current season. And when operators try to run for cover by planning the installation of solar or photovoltaic systems, in many cases, they find themselves rejecting or at least slowing down their proposal in the context of administrative authorizations. Especially if the structure is in the historic center of a city of art or has a sea view.
Bills projected to double
It happens, for example, in Ischia. The Regina Isabella, the historic five-star luxury hotel that was built in the village of Lacco Ameno in the 1950s by the will of Angelo Rizzoli, next to the historic Terme della Regina Isabella – with 130 rooms and a turnover of 10 million – is at the center of a “short circuit” of this type. “Our energy bill has so far grown little thanks to a fixed price contract – says Giancarlo Carriero, CEO of Regina Isabella – but from 1 January 2023 it will grow a lot: we expect a 50% increase from 350 thousand euros a year to at least 700 thousand.
The ecological transition and the stakes of bureaucracy
To avoid an excessive increase in costs, and not only that, we have designed a latest generation photovoltaic system to be built with an investment of 750 thousand euros “. The problem is that the Superintendence of Landscape Assets of Naples made itself heard a month ago. «He asks us for some renderings – adds Carriero -. It clearly emerged that there are doubts and this makes us fear a difficult and uncertain process ». Carriero adds: «We are trying to demonstrate that the latest generation panels have no impact at all. And they are certainly more aesthetically pleasing than the asphalt sheaths that cover the roofs of our hotels ». Finally, Carriero explains even better. «Our project for a plant from renewable sources – he underlines – aims to complete our small ecological revolution. We have eliminated the emissions for heating the water using the thermal one but this still involves a high energy consumption. Our footprint would be much smaller if we could use solar energy. And we would like to be able to communicate this to our customers ».
The Sheraton (Catania) invites guests to save energy
From Campania to Sicily, different remedies are studied for the same problem. Not being able to install other systems on the roofs, at the Sheraton in Catania (170 rooms and 7 million in turnover) the CEO Ornella Laneri is betting on energy saving and in her challenge involves the guests. «Despite the electricity bill in July this year has risen to 140 thousand euros against 44 thousand in 2021 – she says – we try not to raise prices. But I ask the guests for cooperation ». Then he explains: “In each room they find a card with a vademecum on the” Responsible stay “- he adds – we ask in practice not to be sorry if they do not find the room cold, to use the air conditioner as strictly necessary, not to leave the lights on when they are out of the room “. Laneri is no stranger to this kind of collaboration requested from guests of her hotel. «In 2019 – she says – after hosting Michelangelo Olivero Pistoletto, Italian painter and sculptor, animator and protagonist of the poor art current, we started a path towards sustainability, involving our customers. Since then, upon arrival, we have provided some “sustainable advice”. Our customers follow us with enthusiasm. Perhaps they also choose us for this ».

WARREN, Mich. (AP) — Even though battery costs are rising, auto companies are rolling out more affordable electric vehicles that should widen their appeal to a larger group of buyers.
The latest came Thursday from General Motors, a Chevrolet Equinox small SUV with a starting price somewhere around $30,000 and a range-per-charge of 250 miles (400 kilometers). You can get range of 300 miles (500 kilometers) if you pay more.
GM won’t release the exact price of the Equinox EV until closer to the date it goes on sale, about this time next year. But the SUV is at the low end of Edmunds.com’s list of prices for electric vehicles sold in the U.S., where the average cost of an EV is around $65,000.
Hitting a price around $30,000 and a range per charge close to 300 miles is key to getting mainstream buyers to switch away from gasoline vehicles, industry analysts say.
“You’re kind of at that sweet spot,” said Ivan Drury, director of insights for Edmunds.com. “You’re basically at the price point that everyone is clamoring for.”
Auto industry analysts say that if the Equinox makes efficient use of interior space with plenty of cargo and passenger room, and if it is styled similar to current gas-powered small SUVs, it should be a hit in the most popular segment of the U.S. auto market. About 20% of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. are compact SUVs.
“It’s a perfect vehicle for a lot of different users, whether it’s a small family, maybe an empty nester,” said Jeff Schuster, president of global forecasting for LMC Automotive, a Detroit-area consulting firm. “You’ve got space to haul things, but it’s easy to drive.”
A $30,000 EV that checks all of the boxes is just a little above the price of a comparable small gas-powered SUV. The Toyota RAV4, the top seller in the segment and the top-selling vehicle in the U.S. that isn’t a pickup, starts at just over $28,000.
Until the last few years, electric vehicles were either expensive and aimed at affluent luxury buyers, or cheaper but with limited travel ranges. For example, a base version of Tesla’s Model 3, the lowest-price model from the top-selling EV brand in the U.S., starts at more than $48,000. A larger Tesla Model X SUV starts at over $120,000.
The only EVs with starting prices under $30,000 (including shipping) now are versions of the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt. Both are smaller than a typical gas-powered compact SUV. The Mini Cooper Electric, Mazda MX30 and Hyundai Kona Electric are in the $30,000s, according to Edmunds.
Kia’s Niro EV, Hyundai’s Ioniq 5, Ford’s F-150 Lightning pickup, the Volkswagen ID.4, Kia EV6, Toyota b24x, Ford’s Mustang Mach E, Audi’s Q4 e-tron, the Subaru Solterra, Polestar 2, and Tesla Model 3 all have starting prices in the $40,000s.
GM may find it difficult to keep the Equinox price around $30,000, largely because minerals such as lithium, copper, cobalt and nickel that are key components of batteries have been rising fast. There’s a finite number of mines and increasing demand as nearly all automakers introduce new EVs.
Drury says that even if GM is able to keep the Equinox starting price around $30,000, demand likely will be high enough so the company builds mainly higher-priced versions. And some dealers have been marking up EVs beyond the automaker’s sticker price due to high demand. In the first half of the year, U.S. EV sales rose 68% from the same period a year ago, to nearly 313,000.
Some EVs could get a whole lot cheaper in the U.S., too, with federal tax credits starting next year of up to $7,500 that are part of the Inflation Reduction Act. But meeting federal requirements may be difficult.
The vehicles and batteries have to be assembled in North America, and the new law phases in requirements that battery minerals and parts have to come from the continent. Most minerals such as lithium, a key battery ingredient, are now imported from China and other countries.
The Equinox checks the North American assembly box. It will be made in Mexico. The company won’t say where the battery will be made, but GM has announced three joint-venture battery factories in the U.S., including one that’s operating already in Warren, Ohio.
From there, GM is working on meeting the other criteria for getting the tax credit. “We’re really working through the rules and the regulations right now,” said Steve Majoros, vice president of marketing for Chevrolet. “We think it’s all lining up nicely, but more details to come on that.”
Majoros hinted that it may take a couple of years to meet all the government’s requirements to get the full credit as GM takes more control of its supply chain for EV parts.
The Equinox EV, Majoros said, is longer, wider and a bit shorter than the gas versions of the same vehicle. GM used new interior packaging methods to create comparable passenger and cargo space to the gas Equinox, he said. The relatively small price difference between the two should get many customers to consider EV over gas, he said.
“It does a lot of things right,” Majoros said. “So when it does that, the (sales) volume follows.”
GM CEO Mary Barra has said the company will overtake Tesla as the nation’s largest seller of EVs by the middle of this decade. The Equinox EV is a step toward that.
“We think it’s going to be one of the products that’s really going to help that mainstream adoption really take off in the marketplace,” Majoros said.

NEW YORK — U.S. officials are considering broadening recommendations for who gets vaccinated against monkeypox, possibly to include many men with HIV or those recently diagnosed with other sexually transmitted diseases.
Driving the discussion is a study released Thursday showing that a higher-than-expected share of monkeypox infections are in people with other sexually transmitted infections.
Dr. John T. Brooks, chief medical officer for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s monkeypox outbreak response, said the report represents a “call to action.”
Brooks told The Associated Press on Thursday that he expected vaccine recommendations to expand and that “the White House, together with CDC, are working on a plan for what that will look like.”
Currently, the CDC recommends the vaccine to people who are a close contact of someone who has monkeypox; people who know a sexual partner was diagnosed in the past two weeks; and gay or bisexual men who had multiple sexual partners in the last two weeks in an area with known virus spread.
Shots are also recommended for health care workers at high risk of exposure.
The vast majority of monkeypox cases are in men who have sex with men who reported close contact with an infected person during sex. But the new CDC report suggested infections in people with HIV and other STDs may be a bigger issue then previously realized.
The report looked at about 2,000 monkeypox cases from four states and four cities from mid-May to late July.
It found 38% of those with monkeypox infections had been diagnosed with HIV, far higher than their share of the population among men who have sex with men.
The study also found that 41% of monkeypox patients had been diagnosed with an STD in the preceding year. And about 10% of those patients had been diagnosed with three or more different STDs in the prior year.
There were racial differences. More than 60% of Black Americans with monkeypox had HIV, compared with 41% of Hispanic people, 28% of whites and 22% of Asians.
Jason Farley, an infectious disease expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, said men of color who have sex with men should be at the front of the line for monkeypox vaccine doses. Within those racial and ethnic groups, the next priority should be anyone living with HIV or was recently diagnosed with a STD, he said.
The study has several limitations, including that the data may not be nationally representative, the authors said.
Brooks said the findings could lead to vaccines being recommended for people with recent STD infections, people with HIV, people taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications to prevent HIV infection and, possibly, prostitutes.
Discussions of expanding eligibility will have to take into account supply of the two-dose vaccine. And any substantial expansion of monkeypox vaccination recommendations may also be subject to review by CDC’s outside vaccine advisers, health officials say.
Also on Thursday, the CDC sent a letter to state and local health departments that said federal funds for HIV and STD prevention can also now be used against monkeypox. Cases in the U.S. seem to be declining, officials say.

Remaining brave in frightening times
The horrific news of Eliza Fletcher has affected more than just the Memphis community. It has rippled out across the country, leaving people grieving, angry, confused and scared. It’s hard to feel safe when something as innocent as a morning jog can end so tragically, but it’s important not to let that fear cripple you.
In this article: Defender Ring, She’s Birdie — The Original Personal Safety Alarm for Women by Women and Sabre Advanced Compact Pepper Spray
Why it’s important to face your fears
Fear is important. It helps keep you safe and alive. However, when irrational fear keeps you from living, it is no longer beneficial.
After learning there was a crime in your neighborhood, for instance, it can take a while to feel safe again, even if you weren’t directly affected. While it’s never wise to put yourself in a dangerous situation, facing your fears in a controlled way with a predictable outcome is one of the best ways to help you reclaim your life.
Tips for staying safe
The best way to stay safe is to never be alone. If you’re walking to your car after work or running through a park, always do it with at least one other friend. But if you find yourself alone, there are a few things you can do to help you stay safe:
- Always be aware of the people around you.
- Keep to populated, well-lit routes.
- In an urban environment, keep close to the curb, away from doors and alleys.
- Walk with purpose.
- Do not converse with strangers.
- Never do anything that disengages you from the environment — no talking on the phone or listening to music.
- Keep items at the ready that can help you avoid or get out of an unpleasant situation (a whistle, pepper spray, etc.).
What is a Defender Ring?
A Defender Ring is a ring that doubles as a defensive weapon. There are two types of Defender Rings. One has a concealed blade hidden beneath a decorative element. This element can be unscrewed in about two seconds. The other is a ring that has an exposed blade, so there is no prep time required before use.
According to the company, “Defender Ring was founded as a practical self-defense tool for women, following the deaths of Karina Vetrano and Vanessa Marcotte, two women who were attacked in broad daylight while out for a jog.”
A Defender Ring can inflict pain or damage to an attacker by puncturing, slicing or tearing. The ring will also collect a DNA sample from your attacker. The rings range in price from $45-$149 and are sold on the company’s website, with some options available on Etsy.
Open-blade Defender Ring options
The Solo Stacker is a white gold-plated stainless steel ring with stabilizing side supports that features one point. Sold by Etsy
The Duo Stacker is a white gold-plated stainless steel ring with stabilizing side supports that features two points. Sold by Etsy
The Trio Stacker is a stainless steel ring (no plating) with stabilizing side supports that features three points. Sold by Etsy
The Crest Stacker is a stainless steel ring (no plating) with stabilizing side supports that features a single, curved point. Sold by Etsy
Three other devices that may help keep you safe
She’s Birdie — The Original Personal Safety Alarm for Women by Women
When activated, the Birdie blasts a loud siren and flashing strobe lights to help frighten off a potential attacker. The device is easy to use, and the battery lasts for up to 40 minutes. Sold by Amazon
Sabre Advanced Compact Pepper Spray
This widely popular pepper spray has a three-in-one formula that includes CS tear gas for a more debilitating effect and UV marking to help identify suspects. The sprayer has a 10-foot range and contains 35 bursts. Sold by Amazon and Home Depot
The stainless steel whistles in this two-pack create a shrill 120-decibel sound that can scare away attackers before they even get close. The included lanyard means you’ll always have your whistle at the ready. Sold by Amazon

Dame Helen Mirren, Daniel Craig and Sir Elton John have led tributes to the Queen and her “incomparable legacy” following her death. The monarch was described as “an inspiration to the world for her lifetime of service” as tributes flooded in from all over the world after her death was announced on Thursday evening.
As well as celebrities, British arts and entertainment institutions including the BBC and the National Theatre all reflected on the impact the monarch has had on the country. Dame Helen, who portrayed the Queen on the silver screen and on the stage, described the monarch as the “epitome of nobility”. In a post on Instagram, the Oscar-winning British actress said: “I am proud to be an Elizabethan. We mourn a woman, who, with or without the crown, was the epitome of nobility.”
James Bond star Craig said the Queen leaves “an incomparable legacy and will be profoundly missed”. In a statement to the PA news agency, he added: “I, like so many, was deeply saddened by the news today and my thoughts are with the royal family, those she loved and all those who loved her.”
Sir Elton said the Queen had been a huge part of his life “from childhood to this day” in his own online tribute. “Along with the rest of the nation, I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s passing,” Sir Elton wrote. “She was an inspiring presence to be around, and led the country through some of our greatest, and darkest, moments with grace, decency and a genuine caring warmth. “Queen Elizabeth has been a huge part of my life from childhood to this day, and I will miss her dearly.”
Sir Mick Jagger reflected on how the Queen had “always been there” throughout his life as he recalled watching key moments.
The frontman of The Rolling Stones shared a photo of the monarch on his Instagram and wrote: “For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has always been there. In my childhood I can recall watching her wedding highlights on TV. I remember her as a beautiful young lady, to the much-beloved grandmother of the nation. My deepest sympathies are with the royal family.” The Rolling Stones also offered their “deepest sympathy” to the royal family following the news.
Elsewhere in the music world, Sir Paul McCartney also paid tribute to the Queen with a short but sweet message on his Instagram account. Alongside an image of the Queen in her youth signed by McCartney, the 80-year-old music icon wrote: “God bless Queen Elizabeth II. “May she rest in peace. Long live The King.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber described the Queen as “an inspiration to the world for her lifetime of service”. In a statement shared on Twitter, Lord Lloyd-Webber wrote: “For the whole of my life, the Queen has been the constant anchor of not just Britain and her beloved Commonwealth, but an inspiration to the world for her lifetime of service.
“Her legacy will be remembered as a selfless beacon for love, understanding and the celebration of fellow human beings all over the world, no matter their race or creed. Madeleine and I are deeply saddened by this news, and our thoughts and prayers are with Her Majesty The Queen’s family.”
Harry Potter author J K Rowling said the monarch had “earned her rest” after having “uncomplainingly filled her constitutional role for seventy years”. She wrote on Twitter: “Some may find the outpouring of British shock and grief at this moment quaint or odd, but millions felt affection and respect for the woman who uncomplainingly filled her constitutional role for seventy years.
“Most British people have never known another monarch, so she’s been a thread winding through all our lives. She did her duty by the country right up until her dying hours, and became an enduring, positive symbol of Britain all over the world. She’s earned her rest.”
The official account of Paddington Bear also tweeted its respects to the Queen, saying: “Thank you Ma’am, for everything.” The pair recently appeared in a comical sketch together as part of celebrations for the monarch’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, in which they shared tea and marmalade sandwiches at Buckingham Palace.
Former spice girl Mel B shared a post on Instagram alongside an image of the Queen meeting the members of the Spice Girls. Alongside it she wrote: “Today is the saddest day. We have lost an incredible lady who all of us grew up with and had so much respect for. I was honoured to meet her, honoured that she awarded me my MBE as patron of Women’s Aid and honoured she was our Queen.”
Presenting duo Ant and Dec also paid tribute to the Queen, writing on Twitter: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It is hard to believe she will no longer be with us. Our thoughts, prayers and condolences are with King Charles and the entire Royal Family. Rest In Peace Your Majesty. And thank you.”
Other British celebrities paying respects included Stephen Fry, Ozzy Osbourne, Sue Perkins, Victoria Beckham and Sir Philip Pullman.
The BBC Board issued a statement from director-general Tim Davie in which he reflected on the Queen’s role. “On behalf of everyone at the BBC we offer our deepest condolences to the Royal Family following the death of Her Majesty The Queen,” the statement read. “Her Majesty was the absolute embodiment of public service. She was a unifying figure across generations, communities and borders, who represented the very best of our nation.
“We are grateful at the BBC to have witnessed, recorded and shared so many of the special moments in her long life and reign. She will always be remembered with the greatest affection and admiration.”
The national anthem was played on BBC One following the announcement, showing a photograph of the Queen, followed by a royal crest on a black background and the words Queen Elizabeth II.
The National Theatre said it was “deeply saddened” by the news of the death of monarch, who had been a patron of the institution for more than 40 years. “We are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen, Royal Patron of the National Theatre for more than four decades,” the organisation tweeted.
Elsewhere, the 2022 Mercury Prize award was postponed due to the news, which the organisation described as a “time of great national sorrow”. The prize, which is awarded for the best album released in the UK by a British or Irish act, was due to take place on Thursday evening.
“Tonight’s Mercury Prize event has been postponed at this time of great national sorrow. We know everyone involved in the Mercury Prize will understand,” a statement from the organisation read. “Our thoughts and condolences are with The Royal Family at this very difficult time.”

The United States intends to send another $2 billion in military support to Ukraine and 18 nearby countries at risk of Russian attack, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Thursday during a visit to Kyiv.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also on Thursday announced another package of weapons to Ukraine worth up to $675 million, a pledge made as he met with allies working to keep Ukraine equipped “over the long haul” amid the Russian invasion.
“Yesterday, President Biden approved the latest tranche of U.S. assistance to Ukraine. It’s valued at up to $675 million,” Austin told reporters following a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
A list later released by the Pentagon detailed the contents of the package, which includes four 105mm Howitzers and 36,000 accompanying artillery rounds, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), additional High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARM), 100 Humvees, 50 armored ambulances, anti-tank systems, small arms and more.
Blinken notified Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the latest U.S. lethal aid when the two met Thursday in Ukraine’s capital. It was Blinken’s second visit to Ukraine since Russia first attacked the country on Feb. 24.
In a statement, Blinken said he informed Zelensky of the $675 million presidential drawdown, noting that President Biden “has been clear we will support the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes. I reiterated this message to President Zelenskyy and his team today in Kyiv, which remains — and will remain — the capital of a sovereign, independent Ukraine.”
The new aid would push the U.S. security assistance commitment to Ukraine past the $15 billion mark since August 2021, and more than $14.5 billion since the Russia invasion began.
Both the Pentagon and State Department also announced that the Biden administration has informed Congress of its “intent to make a further $2.2 billion available in long-term investments under Foreign Military Financing to bolster the security of Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors; including many of our NATO Allies, as well as other regional security partners potentially at risk of future Russian aggression.”
Roughly half of that money will go toward Ukrainian security and the other half split between Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Greece, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
As Blinken visited Kyiv, Austin met with representatives from around 50 countries at the fifth gathering of the Ukraine Contact Group, a group that first met in April to coordinate the flow of military assistance to Ukraine. Those in attendance included NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.
“Ukrainian forces have begun their counteroffensive in the south of their country. And they are integrating the capabilities that we all have provided to help themselves to fight and reclaim their sovereign territory,” Austin said earlier on Thursday as he sat down with the group.
“Today, this Contact Group needs to position itself to sustain Ukraine’s brave defenders for the long haul. And that means a continued and determined flow of capability now,” he continued. “And it means renewing and deepening our resolve to stand by Ukraine — with support and strength that doesn’t hinge on any one particular battle.”
Austin added that NATO and the United States are working to host a special session in the next few weeks that will bring together senior national armaments directors from the 50 countries in the contact group.
“They will discuss how our defense industrial bases can best equip Ukraine’s future forces with the capabilities that they need,” he said.
Ukrainian forces are working to push Russian troops from the northeast part of the country around Kharkiv and in the south near Kherson, with Zelensky on Wednesday highlighting “good news” about recapturing unnamed settlements from the Kharkiv region.
But Russia is showing no sign of backing down, with President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday defiantly claiming his country has “not lost a thing” from the war in Ukraine and the tight sanctions it has triggered.
U.S. officials, meanwhile, estimated in August that Russia has suffered around 70,000 to 80,000 casualties in under six months.

Cassie Hibbert, project manager of the refurbishment being done at the Enterprise Schools for the Wenaha Group, gives an update on work done this summer and what's yet to come Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022, to the Bond Oversight Committee in the high school library.
ENTERPRISE — After a “heck of a summer,” as Enterprise School Superintendent Tom Crane said, construction work on the schools received rave reviews from the district’s Bond Oversight Committee at an update meeting Wednesday, Sept. 7.
“The goal was to have work done before school started and they accomplished that mission,” Crane said. “I never had any problem with any of the people.”
Cassie Hibbert, project manager on the work on the school for the Wenaha Group, led the discussion, and detailed what had been accomplished and what has yet to be done. The work will continue in summer 2023.
The work is being paid for by an $8 million bond levy approved in November 2020 for the Enterprise School buildings, largely to replace the leaky roof and upgrade access to Americans with Disabilities Act standards, such as remodeling restrooms and adding ramps and lifts for wheelchair-bound students and removing asbestos flooring.
The $8 million was half a voter-approved levy and half matching funds from an Oregon School Capital Improvement grant from the Oregon Department of Education.
Work began on the school this spring as soon as it let out, although it was slated to begin a year earlier. The delay was caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting difficulties in obtaining building materials.
Hibbert listed work that had been accomplished. The main project completed was replacement of the roof at the elementary/middle school, primary and high school buildings accomplished by Palmer Roofing of Pendleton.
Also completed was asbestos abatement of pipe insulation, middle school attic asbestos debris, primary building crawl space asbestos debris and other smaller abatement items done by IRS Environmental of Hillsboro.
Items completed by McCormack Construction of Pendleton included:
• Improvements to stormwater system to manage roof drainage and surface runoff originating on the District’s property.
• Replacement of the main steam piping between buildings, installation of new condensate pumps.
• Refresh and waterproofing of the “mat room,” a small classroom area in the middle school that was experiencing water infiltration.
• Waterproofing of the basement-level main boiler room.
• Reconfiguration of gym foyer stairs for a wheelchair lift. The lift product scheduled to ship this week and will be installed as soon as received, Hibbert said.
Hibbert also said a few items are to be finished up through October. She said about $6 million of the bond funds were spent on construction this year.
There are a couple items that were not foreseen in the original plans for the project, including a major post holding up roofs outdoors and extreme deterioration to one of the building’s roofs. Those are requiring some reassessment to determine how they will be repaired. Planned for next summer by McCormack Construction include safety/security upgrades:
• Creation of secure entry vestibules for visitors at all the school buildings.
• Audio/video intercom at the primary building entrance.
• Access control on all exterior doors. Select doors will have key card readers for staff access.
• Security cameras.
• Improvements to property fencing.
• Accessible ramp at the Quinn’s Court entry.
Also planned are:
• Steam pipe replacement in the tunnel between the primary and elementary/middle school buildings.
• Installation of ventilation in selected areas to include restrooms, art room and locker room.
Crane said that although the campus will not be fully closed during summer 2023, selected areas may be off-limits to staff/students. The gym will be open for use during summer 2023.
“Next year’s not supposed to be a lockdown situation,” he said, referring to this summer’s restrictions on having faculty and staff on campus. “Next year, teachers should be able to come in and work in the summer. … Also, we cannot forget our custodial staff who were helping all summer long. … It was all positive.”
The committee agreed that its next quarterly meeting will be Dec. 5.

Immersive virtual tours to explore local places of worship, an interfaith festival telling the story of ethnic and faith communities through music, and a card game that creates conversations around religion, ethnicity, nationality and disability are just some of the youth-led initiatives highlighted at the Young Leaders Programme.
The programme is a platform for young local and international leaders to collaborate on initiatives to strengthen social cohesion.
It is part of the International Conference on Cohesive Societies, organised by the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY).
Speaking at the closing of the three-day conference on Thursday, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong said there was a need to continue building a strong community of young social cohesion champions.
Referring to the special address by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See, who spoke remotely from the Vatican City on Tuesday, Mr Tong said he agreed wholeheartedly that "youth leadership is crucial in building a better society based on justice, fraternity and solidarity".
A total of 120 youth leaders joined the programme this year, and MCCY will be providing funding to develop some of their projects. It will also build up the pool of alumni and keep the virtual partners' showcase online as a resource for all.
Mr Tong also called for the South-east Asian Social Cohesion Radar study done by RSIS this year to be conducted regularly to track how social cohesion trends evolve in the region.
The study found that 69 per cent of those surveyed in South-east Asia believe that their country is socially cohesive, while 81 per cent of thought leaders residing in Singapore believed the same about the Republic.
Mr Tong also offered three reflections from the conference.
The first is that faith can bridge divides.
Mr Tong said that during crises and times of insecurity, different beliefs can widen divides. However, diversity can also increase resilience in the face of global challenges.
Second, he spoke of how diversity can be harnessed for the common good.
He cited the conference as an example of diversity in action, where delegates from different countries and disciplines came together to develop insights and solutions.
Singapore may be one of the most religiously diverse societies in the world, but continuous efforts are made to strengthen religious harmony, he said.
Lastly, the minister reflected on how technology can be leveraged to foster mutual trust, but added that steps must be taken to mitigate its adverse effects and stamp out hate, violent extremism and misinformation.
The conference hosted more than 50 speakers and 800 delegates from about 40 countries, and had over 300 online participants.

Democrats are beginning to pressure President Biden to take on marijuana reform as Congress struggles to find a path forward on decriminalization and as the party contemplates what’s possible before the midterms.
Liberals have been building momentum with just two months until the November elections with back-to-back wins on key pieces of Biden’s agenda, from student loans to health care and tax reform.
With the wind at their sails, they are now hoping to get the president on their side once again by moving toward what they believe would change the nation’s criminal justice system in a meaningful way.
“Now that the president has delivered on a progressive policy of student debt relief, he has seen an uptick in the polls, he’s united the base, put Republicans on the defensive and Democrats across the country seem to be riding the wave as well,” said Stacey Walker, an influential Iowa Democrat and former surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) who focused on cannabis reform during the “unity task force” negotiations between the Biden and Sanders camps in 2020.
“Along with several members of President Biden’s senior leadership team, we all agreed that at the very least the president should decriminalize marijuana and reschedule it through executive action at the federal level,” Walker said of the negotiations following the last presidential election.
On the campaign trail, some Democratic candidates are becoming more vocal about the issue, seeking to reignite what they see is not only a moral imperative but a smart political move to maintain their majority.
The loudest call in recent weeks came from Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, one of the most prominent Democrats to publicly urge Biden ahead of a visit to the Keystone State to direct his political will toward reforms where a closely watched race to flip a Senate seat is currently skewing in Fetterman’s favor.
“It’s long past time that we finally decriminalize marijuana,” said Fetterman, who is comfortably leading against Republican nominee Mehmet Oz. “The president needs to use his executive authority to begin.”
Fetterman was not alone. His request came after a group of Democratic senators sent a letter to the Biden administration ahead of the August recess pushing the president to start addressing the issue. They asked officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to remove marijuana from the list of federal controlled substances and pardon those convicted of nonviolent cannabis-related offenses.
“I think Biden understands the larger issues at play here and I’m encouraged by that,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), one of the Democrats who signed on to the letter, told The Hill on Tuesday. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who also helped lead the letter, stressed, “There is more that we could do.”
The lawmakers said the request was a follow-up after receiving a “disappointing” response months prior, claiming the DOJ’s sole reason for not acting was a determination by the Department of Health and Human Services that “cannabis has not been proven in scientific studies to be a safe and effective treatment for any disease or condition.”
Erik Altieri, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, called the rationale “the complete illustration of the government having its head in the sand on this issue.”
“There’s well over 33,000, peer reviewed studies on cannabis for all kinds of ailments,” Altieri said, “and as everyone knows, there is about 36 states in this country that currently have active medical marijuana programs that have thousands and thousands of individuals in them that are benefiting from its therapeutic use.”
Progressives have also prioritized marijuana decriminalization by framing it as a racial justice issue, as people of color have continued to bear an outsized burden from the nation’s drug policies through the years, especially Black Americans.
A 2020 report from the American Civil Liberties Union found Black people were more than three times as likely to be arrested for marijuana offenses than their white counterparts in the U.S. That disparity, the report said, has only worsened in dozens of states over a decade, despite both racial groups having similar usage rates.
At the same time, as a growing number of states have moved toward legalization or decriminalization in recent years, data shows Black Americans are drastically underrepresented in the country’s booming cannabis industry.
Figures crunched in Leafly’s 2021 Jobs Report showed that Black Americans accounted for “only 1.2 percent to 1.7 percent of all cannabis company owners,” despite making up about 12 percent of the country’s population.
Lawmakers and activists have urged Biden to sign reform from the Oval Office, which in their view would further round out what has become a staunchly progressive agenda from the moderate president. They claim the more Biden signs, the more he elevates his standing with the public.
Recent polling has provided credibility to that argument. Biden’s low approval, which has haunted his presidency for more than a year since the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, began to change after he signed the Inflation Reduction Act last month.
He further bolstered his credentials by putting forth a plan to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loan relief meant to help low-income young people and other Americans pay off debt for their education.
By decriminalizing marijuana, some activists and strategists say Biden would give another potential bump to voters in key swing states, noting that the policy is popular among many constituencies important to Democrats. Any move at the federal level could help inspire turnout among young voters and minority populations and could make a difference in races where the margin of error is tight.
“He gets a lot of flack from Democrats when he gives a speech on a single issue and they say, man you could have done this months ago,” said Douglas Wilson, a Democratic consultant from North Carolina.
Altieri, however, cautioned that drug scheduling is usually done through Congress and the process through the executive branch is “not as straightforward” as some Democrats have made it seem.
“It does involve interagency cooperation that largely will have to come from both the attorney general as well as the Department of Health and the secretary of Health,” Alteri said, before listing a series of steps the agencies would likely have to take to determine if marijuana needs to be descheduled.
“It’s a bit of a lengthy process to go through but, assuming the president put priority on it and he had supportive heads of those agencies, it’s something they could do,” he added.
Proponents agree, as marijuana decriminalization efforts have not yet found a place of consensus in Congress.
“I’d like for Congress to take this up, and I have a bill with others to do that. It’s long past time,” Warren told The Hill in July. “But so long as we’ve got Republicans blocking everything that we try to do, then the administration has an opportunity to step in and give us some much-needed relief.”
Many activists also recognize that, like the pathway to student loan forgiveness, decriminalization is likely to come from a grassroots-led approach.
Those who are mobilizing support on the ground see it as a numbers game: The more voices that are amplified in front of Biden, the easier it becomes to influence policy. Even better, some say, is that they have the support of key lawmakers in Congress, whom Biden has regularly expressed a desire to continue working with to enact his agenda.
According to a Pew Research study taken in April, 91 percent of respondents said they believe in legalizing marijuana for medical purposes, with 61 percent saying it should also be approved for recreational use.
While the issue has come up periodically, Biden has been cautious about appearing too enthusiastic about it. He campaigned in 2020 in support of what many progressives are pushing for, including prohibiting anyone from going to jail for recreational use and allowing states to legalize it, but he’s been slow to sign any type of executive action that grants broad federal rules.
Liberals are hoping that will change as the midterms get closer and as the president has momentum coming off of some of their previous hardest-fought policy pushes.
“We need Biden to take action,” said Moné Holder, senior director of advocacy and programs at Florida Rising. “I don’t see waiting as being an option. I think the time to strike is now. Those who are impacted by it, those who partake in it, whether we want to admit it or not can definitely see this as a gleam of hope.”

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) reacted to the crimes in Memphis that were committed by people who were released early by stating that “you have to get away from this lenient sentencing and letting people out early on these violent crimes.”
Host Stuart Varney asked, “This man had a lengthy rap sheet, in both these cases, actually, and police knew about it. Why does this stuff keep happening?”
Blackburn responded, “It keeps happening, Stu, because you have prosecutors, you have DAs that don’t go about putting in that maximum sentence. As Mayor Strickland said, if this criminal had served his full term, he would not have been out on the street creating and committing other crimes. And it is pretty simple, if you do the crime, you do the time. And we need to get back to this truth in sentencing, keeping people who are violent criminals locked up and off the streets.”
She added that the issue is primarily a local one, but there are things that can be done on felony sentencing guidelines at the federal level, and “you have to get away from this lenient sentencing and letting people out early on these violent crimes.”

DALLAS (AP) — In a meeting room just down the hall from where the plan for a 12-team College Football Playoff came to life almost 2 1/2 years ago, the conference commissioners who manage the postseason system finally began the next phase of expansion: implementation.
The 11-member management committee gathered Thursday for 4 1/2 hours at a hotel in the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport for the first time since their bosses voted last week to expand the CFP from four to 12 teams.
The frustrations and hard-feelings that hung over expansion talks most of last fall, and led to some icy gatherings, have seemingly been lifted. The goal is to sort through a myriad of issues and have a new format in place for the 2024 season.
It's unclear whether there is still time to accomplish that, but at least now everybody involved appears to be pulling in the same direction.
“It’s like when you wait in a long line,” American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco said. "You finally get there, and you kind of forget about the long wait.”
Among the critical items that need to be sorted out to transform the playoff in two years are media rights, revenue sharing and working with and around existing contracts with ESPN and bowl partners.
“There are a lot of moving parts, a lot of pieces,” Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said. ”It won’t be by lack of effort, whatever happens.”
But first they need to figure out where and when 11 playoff games can be played. Availability of venues and television time slots could ultimately determine whether early expansion is possible.
"Really, everything falls from the calendar, kind of feeds from the calendar,” CFP executive director Bill Hancock said.
The management committee, comprised of 10 conference commissioner and Notre Dame's athletic director, meet again later this month at the Big Ten offices in Rosemont, Illinois.
Last week, the university presidents and chancellors who oversee the CFP pushed forward expansion and directed the management committee to implement a 12-team model by 2026, but as soon as 2024 — if feasible.
“We looked at everything today,” Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips said. “'24, ‘25, ’26. So it’s kind of parceled together. But I’m optimistic.”
Early expansion for the 2024 and 2025 seasons appeared to be off the table back in February after months of haggling among the commissioners failed to produce the necessary unanimous consensus.
Phillips, along with Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren and Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff, had opposed the 12-team plan last year.
The presidents had other ideas, but that lost time makes the task more difficult.
“We didn’t move down the road on details,” Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey. “Well, now the good news is, the spirit is, ‘hey, we need to get after this.’ So attention is high. Prioritization is high.”
Sankey was part of the four-person subcommittee that began working on expansion in 2019. The group met here in February 2020 to hone in on the 12-team plan, but the pandemic put that on hold and it wasn't unveiled until June 2021.
The 12-team format calls for four first-round games played at or near campus sites about two weeks after conference championship games, typically held the first weekend of December.
Quarterfinals will be held at bowl sites on or around New Year's Day, followed by neutral site semifinals about a week later and a championship game in mid-January.
Last month, the CFP announced the sites for the 2024 and 2025 championship games based on a four-team model, another hurdle to changing the format.
A new format before 2026 would also mean going back to the bargaining table with ESPN, which pays about $470 million per year for the CFP, plus another $125 million in separate agreements with the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl.
Expansion for the final two years of the current 12-year deal that ends after the 2025 season is estimated to be worth an additional $450 million in net revenue to the conferences.
The estimated value of the television rights to a 12-team playoff beyond 2025 is about $2 billion per year.
A newcomer was welcomed to the management committee this week: Brett Yormark officially replaced Bob Bowlsby as Big 12 Commissioner in August.
He said he spent most of Thursday's meeting asking questions.
Yormark spent 14 years leading the company that manages Barclays Center and other sports and entertainment venues in New York. He said he didn't know the nuances of the CFP well enough to gauge how complicated early implementation will be.
But if all the stakeholders are on board, he said, that goes a long way.
“When an event’s worth it, you do what you need to do to execute it,” he said.

Kendrick Lamar had been away a long, long time.
One thousand eight-hundred and 55 days between the release of his album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” and its Pulitzer Prize-winning predecessor “DAMN.”
Lamar’s last live shows in Orange or Los Angeles counties were in 2018. The concert Wednesday, Sept. 7, is the first of six in the region, followed by Sunday, Sept. 11 at Toyota Arena in Ontario, then Wednesday-Saturday, Sept. 14-17, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
It was, as our narrator for the show, Helen Mirren – yes, really – proclaimed Wednesday, time for Kendrick to get out of the house again.
“Mr. Morale, this is Helen Mirren,” our favorite dame declared in the first of her periodic recorded announcements throughout the show. “I’ll be guiding you through this performance. You’ve been in your comfort zone for over 1,855 days. You have to get out eventually.”
And Lamar did just that spectacularly in a show that packed 28 songs into an hour and 45 minutes.
It was a show that at times felt more like theater or performance art than a hip-hop concert, as the artist from Compton explored and exposed his interior life and all its messy, questioning emotions, and proved that even after 1,855 days of silence there are still very few rappers who can approach his genius.
A giant cream-curtained cube surrounded the main stage as a string section started to play just after 9 p.m. Eleven dancers, seven men in dark suits, four women in white, marched in loose-limbed syncopation toward it down a long ramp that split the crowd on the floor.
Curtains up, the stage revealed Lamar at a piano, playing the opening chords of “United In Grief,” and then jumping into the rapid-fire rap of its opening verses.
Oh, and look there, it’s a ventriloquist puppet in the rapper’s own image that Lamar carried along with him through the rest of that song and “N95” that followed.
Ten minutes in and it’s clear that this is not going to be your typical concert.
“Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” Lamar’s fifth album, arrived in May as a fascinating, raw look at what’s been on his mind since last we heard new music from him.
On the double album, he explores issues of trauma and grief, double standards and expectations, his triumphs but maybe more often his failings.
“I went and got me a therapist,” he raps on “United In Grief.” And as Helen Mirren popped up in recorded moments interspersed throughout the concert, it became clear that she wasn’t playing so much the narrator as she was Lamar’s therapist.
“Mr. Morale, you once again let your ego get the best of you,” Mirren tells him at the conclusion of “Rich Spirit,” one of 13 songs pulled from the new record.
“First, you have to get past yourself,” she advises later, before Lamar, during the new song “Count Me Out,” raps, “Wipe my ego, dodge my pride,” while the screens on stage display the words, “A mask won’t hide who you are inside …”.
It was a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a restlessly creative artist: Never indulgent, ever entertaining.
Highlights early in the show included the arrival of several of the songs from 2017’s “DAMN.” including “ELEMENT.” sung from the center of the ramp, his silhouette looming large, and “HUMBLE.” done on the main stage with the besuited dancers loping around him in intricate, precise choreography.
A handful of older songs drew huge cheers from fans from opening notes, though some, such as “Swimming Pool (Drank)” and “m.A.A.d. city” seemed truncated with Lamar letting the crowd pick up large chunks of the vocals. “King Kunta” was not trimmed, and thankfully so – it remains one of his most purely funky hits.
In the latter half of the show, Lamar worked further down the ramp, the production creating unexpected visual effects to enhance the songs and performance. For “Money Trees,” a large rectangular light box descended from the rafters to create a claustrophobic fluorescent ceiling hovering above him.
For “Alright,” one of the highlights of the second half of the show, a plastic-walled cube lowered over him and four dancers dressed in gleaming white hazmat suits – Mirren ordered a COVID test be taken – and he stayed inside it as it was elevated above the stage and filled with smoke during “Mirror” and “Silent Hill.”
Lamar’s cousin Baby Keem and Tanna Leone opened the show Wednesday, with Baby Keem earning a response far more rapturous and raucous than just about any opening act we’ve seen in years. He was a big draw at Coachella in April and seems poised to play his own arenas in the not-too-distant future.
Lamar brought Baby Keem back to play a trio of Keem’s songs near the end of the night, and again, the crowd went wild the minute they launched into “vent,” “range brothers” and “family ties.” (Leone joined Lamar for his penultimate song, “Mr. Morale.”
That song was sandwiched between “Crown” – “I can’t please everybody,” Lamar rapped on the chorus – and the final number “Savior” – “Kendrick made you think about it/But he is not your savior” that one begins.
It’s clear he’s been thinking about a lot and asking a lot of questions. In these concerts, if you’re listening, you may well end up doing the same on the long ride home.

Former US President Donald Trump gives remarks during a Save America Rally at the Adams County Fairgrounds on June 25 in Mendon, Illinois. A federal grand jury is examining the Save America leadership PAC in an expansion of the criminal investigation into the events surrounding the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
A federal grand jury is examining one of former President Donald Trump's main political and fundraising vehicles, the Save America leadership PAC, in an expansion of the criminal investigation into the events surrounding the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
Federal prosecutors issued several subpoenas to former Trump administration officials, former campaign and communications aides and people currently advising Trump or Save America. William Russell, a senior adviser to Trump, was the recipient of one of the subpoenas on Wednesday.
According to multiple sources familiar with the subpoenas, which were issued by a grand jury in Washington, DC, the Justice Department is seeking information related to the formation, fundraising and expenditures of Save America, which has amassed more than $100 million in contributions since it was formed in November 2020.
According to one source familiar with the language in the subpoenas, investigators may be looking into whether people associated with the Save America PAC defrauded people out of money using claims they knew to be false about the 2020 election being stolen.
Some of the subpoenas also requested any information that recipients previously turned over to the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot and communications recipients may have had with a broad list of people who worked to overturn the 2020 election results -- including former Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Victoria Toensing and Boris Epshteyn, an adviser to Trump's 2020 campaign, among others. According to two subpoenas described to CNN, that included communications with a list of people from various states.
The DOJ's investigation, already the largest in the department's history, has expanded beyond the hundreds of rioters charged in connection with their actions that day. More recently, investigators have looked at efforts by Trump and allies to overturn the 2020 election results, including efforts to put forth slates of fake electors.
Separately, the House committee dedicated an entire investigative team to examine the fundraising efforts by the Trump campaign after the 2020 election. And during a hearing in June, the committee tried to make the case that the Trump campaign raised funds by falsely claiming the election was stolen, even though they knew it wasn't, and that the funds may have been misused.
"Throughout the committee's investigation, we found evidence that the Trump campaign and its surrogates misled donors as to where their funds would go and what they would be used for," Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat on the committee, said during the hearing. "So, not only was there the big lie, there was the big rip-off. Donors deserve to know where their funds are really going. They deserve better than what President Trump and his team did."
In an interview with CNN after the hearing, Lofgren said the committee found evidence that Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former member of Trump's 2020 presidential campaign, was paid a $60,000 speaking fee for introducing Donald Trump Jr., her fiancé, at the "Stop the Steal" rally on the Ellipse that preceded the US Capitol riot.
CNN previously reported that Turning Point Action, a conservative pro-Trump organization, paid Guilfoyle for the speech. Turning Point Action is an affiliate of Turning Point USA, the youth organization started by Charlie Kirk, who is a close friend of Donald Trump Jr.
Lofgren would not say at the time, however, whether she believed that a financial crime had been committed.
"I'm not saying it's a crime, but I think it's a grift," Lofgren said.
Senior investigative counsel for the committee, Amanda Wick, said in a video presentation during the June hearing that the committee found Trump and his allies raised $250 million from false election fraud claims. The committee said that most of the money raised in this period went to the Save America PAC, not to election-related litigation.
"Save America PAC made millions of dollars of contributions to pro-Trump organizations, including $1 million to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadow's charitable foundation, $1 million to the America First Policy Institute, a conservative organization, which employs several former Trump administration officials, $204,857 to the Trump Hotel Collection, and over $5 million to Event Strategies Inc, the company that ran President Trump's January 6 rally on the ellipse," Wick said.
The committee declined to comment on the DOJ's investigation.

Illegal sockeye salmon sales are “rampant” on the Fraser River, especially in the Lower Mainland, according to B.C. Wildlife Federation.
The Surrey-based organization says thousands of sockeye salmon cleaned and apparently prepared for sale are being dumped along riverbanks.
“We are seeing evidence of illegal fish sales all over social media and Craigslist,” said Jesse Zeman, the federation’s executive director, in a news release sent Thursday (Sept. 8).
Zeman said images of dead fish showing up on social media appear to depict rotting Fraser River sockeye salmon, including hundreds of fish abandoned in the harbour at Steveston.
“The BCWF is seeing reports of dumping involving thousands, possibly tens of thousands of fish, which is a symptom of illegal sales on a massive scale,” Zeman stated.
“The fish have spoiled suggesting that there are far more fish on the black market than there are buyers.”
B.C. Wildlife Federation works “to protect and conserve British Columbia’s fish, wildlife and habitat.”
The organziation says the number of spawning sockeye salmon returning to spawn in the Fraser River system is a fraction of the number forecast earlier this year — just 5.5 million fish rather than the 9.8 million forecast.
Fish sold on the black market have not been inspected and may not be properly stored, which can lead to food-borne illness for those who buy and eat the fish, and possibly a trip to prison.
“When you eat fish that haven’t been properly cooled and cared for there’s a very good chance you could get sick,” Zeman cautioned.
“If you are caught with fresh sockeye salmon and you don’t have a sales slip from a licensed purveyor, you will be charged as a poacher.”
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (aka the DFO) shut down its special investigations unit nine years ago, and that concerns people like Randy Nelson, a retired DFO director of conservation and protection.
“I was concerned when the special investigations unit was disbanded because it limited the department’s ability to prosecute major poaching operations,” Nelson says in the BCWF news release.
“Some are very complex and organized, and it requires more than just a casual operation to control. This is major crime and it requires investigation and sometimes undercover work to get to the bottom of it. Addressing poaching requires significant resources.”

Australia’s federal parliament, which was due to return next week, will be suspended for at least 15 days after the death of Queen Elizabeth.
Events to commemorate the longest British serving monarch’s death will be carried out over the next two weeks, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Australia’s Governor-general Governor David Hurley actioning a plan that has been in the works for years.
Passed from governor-general to governor-general, prime minister to prime minister, ‘the plan’ – guided by the Palace – will include a National Memorial Service, which will be held at Parliament House.
The Prime Minister told FiveAA: “Our parliament was due to sit next week. And then there was a break up until the budget sitting in October. So certainly the parliament won’t be sitting next week.
“And we’ll have discussions about perhaps the options that we have, or returning for a commemoration of Her Majesty and her contribution to Australia and the Commonwealth.”
Over the next 10 days – between the Queen’s death and her funeral – Commonwealth countries will observe 10 days of mourning and remembrance.
An official mourning period will not be observed in Australia, but Anthony Albanese is expected to announce a national day of commemoration, which will likely be a public holiday, among other events.
The websites of the prime minister, cabinet and governor-general have switched to obituary format, containing information on events planned throughout the country, as well as giving Australians the opportunity to pay tribute.
There will be condolence books at Parliament House, Government House and the Prime Minister and Governor-general websites for the next fortnight.
On Friday evening at dusk, there will be a gun salute, with one shot for every year of the queen’s life, with a 10-second interval between each.
Official parliamentary condolences will be shared on the first sitting day back.
Buckingham Palace notified the death of Her Majesty The Queen at 3:30am EST on Friday, following reports the 96-year-old monarch was suffering ill health.
Anthony Albanese made a national statement this morning, confirming he will travel to London in the coming days to attend the funeral and meet King Charles III.
“Queen Elizabeth II is the only reigning monarch most of us have known, and the only one to ever visit Australia,” he said.
“Her Majesty was a rare and reassuring constant amid rapid change. Through the noise and turbulence of the years, she embodies and exhibited a timeless decency and enduring calm.”
Governor- General David Hurley said he is deeply saddened to shared the news that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has died.
“I join with all Australians in mourning Her Majesty The Queen’s passing and in remembering her lifetime of tireless service. She was a truly remarkable person,” he said.
“When I reflect on my own memories – she was my Queen for my whole life – I think of Her Majesty’s dignity and her compassion. Her dedication and tireless work ethic. And her selflessness and unwavering commitment to the people whom she served. To us.
“Her death will sadden all Australians and will be felt around the world.”
Former Australian Prime Ministers have also shared messages of condolence and sadness at the news.
“We can but hope the world might see her like again, but none of us ever will,” Tony Abbott said.
“It is so typical of this remarkable woman that she was discharging her duty till her last day on this earth.”
Malcolm Turnbull, who led the campaign for Australia to become a republic in 1999 and wrote the book Fighting for the Republic, said today Australia was “united in grief”.
“Her long life of service inspired the whole world and (she) was a calm and gracious presence through seven decades of turbulence and change,” Mr Turnbull said.
Kevin Rudd reflected on his time with the Queen, and said Australians would be deeply affected by the news, regardless of whether they were monarchists or republicans.
“I had the opportunity to meet with the Queen on several occasions over the years, and it was clear from those conversations that her affection for Australia was as profound as it was enduring,” he said.
“She will be remembered not only for the longevity of her reign, but also for her steadfastness, her sense of duty and her devotion to her family.”

Event highlighted new resources and services for members and all Inglewood residents
INGLEWOOD, Calif., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, L.A. Care Health Plan and Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan celebrated the grand opening of their Community Resource Center in Inglewood at 2864 W. Imperial Highway, in the shopping center on Imperial Highway and Crenshaw Boulevard.
An array of free, health-focused services and classes are available to members and the general public at this new Center such as line dancing, yoga therapy, kickboxing, anger management workshops, healthy juicing and cooking classes. One class teaches participants about healthy meals they can cook for under $10. Other resources address social drivers of health such as housing, food security, income security, academic support for students and more.
The Center's monthly food pantry takes place every third Monday of the month from 1:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Anyone from the community can pick up free groceries and occasionally diapers and baby wipes will be available on a first come, first served basis. Visitors can also find assistance connecting to local services such as educational tutoring for local students and more.
"The new Community Resource Center in Inglewood is just the latest example of how Blue Shield Promise is providing deep investments in communities to provide its residents traditional health and wellness offerings as well as personalized services to our members including on-site connection to social services," said Kristen Cerf, president and CEO of Blue Shield Promise Health Plan. "As a nonprofit health plan, our commitment is to help improve the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities, and we are making that a reality with the newest Center in Inglewood."
The 9,000-square-foot Center, which is equipped with a full-size kitchen, activity and training rooms, and office space provides L.A. Care and Blue Shield Promise members with personalized services, including help with care management, free Wi-Fi and private rooms to support virtual medical visits, member services, and benefit navigation.
"L.A. Care is committed to advancing health equity, helping to ensure that everyone can be as healthy as possible, which makes the new Resource Center – with all its wellness and social needs offerings – a timely and much-needed oasis in the community," said John Baackes, L.A. Care CEO. "We know good health outcomes don't rely merely on doctor visits, so we're thrilled that Inglewood and the surrounding communities will now have access to a wide range of resources that people don't generally expect from a health plan."
While the Center has been available to local residents since April 2022 – and has served approximately 3,000 visitors to date – the grand opening celebration took place today due to previous COVID-19 restrictions. Local leaders and representatives who attended the grand opening included Inglewood councilmembers Dionne Faulk, Alex Padilla, Eloy Morales, Jr. and representatives from the offices of California State Senator Steven Bradford and Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell. The festivities included a ribbon-cutting, tours of the Center and a Wazobia dance performance by Nneoma Duruhesie Ogudoro. Wazobia dance is considered to provide healing through fitness and dance movements to afrobeats.
The new location is the latest addition in the $146 million commitment the two health plans made to open 14 jointly operated Community Resource Centers. The goal is to help improve the lives of members and the communities where they live across Los Angeles County, by giving them a fun, safe and inclusive place to gather.
The L.A. Care and Blue Shield Promise Community Resource Center in Inglewood is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To learn more about the Community Resource Centers, please visit activehealthyinformed.org or for specific information about the Inglewood location, including a calendar of programing available at this center, click here.

A New Dumpling Concept to Come to Greenwood Village
The incoming dumpling shop will soon open at 8000 E Belleview Ave Greenwood Village, CO 80111 , space B-45 , taking over what once was Larkburger. A debut date is currently unknown as the owners of Bryan’s Dumplings were unable to be reached. However, a broker associated with the promenade told What Now Denver that while the concept is new, the owners already operate another well-known establishment by a different name. Bryan’s Dumplings does not currently have a website or social media.
The 528-space Belleview Promenade is the largest employment center in the Southeast corridor with 10,000 residences within a one-mile radius. It will house various eateries including La Loma, Toastique, Green District, Pancake House, Chipotle, Ocean Prime, Bird Bakery, and two poke places. It will also offer FedEx, multiple banks, salons, and a jewelry store. What’s more, the surrounding area is booming with business and traffic, with an estimated 41,000 vehicles per day driving on Belleview Avenue, according to the promenade’s brochure.

Man hikes the Appalachian Trail after wife of 57 years dies
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Life’s journey takes us all down a variety of paths, and the current path for a 78-year-old Minnesota man is the Appalachian Trail.
Egon Overgaard started walking the trail in Georgia in March. By September, he had made it to Maine.
When he reached the Northeast, Overgaard took the time to reflect on not just the nearly 2,000 miles he’s hiked but also on the grief he’s trying to leave behind.
Overgaard said he spent the past few years caring for Carol, his wife of 57 years, as she battled a terminal illness.
“In my mind, she was as close to a perfect person as I knew,” he said.
When she died last winter, he said he was lost until he found a new purpose in hiking the Appalachian Trail.
He remembered the trail from his time in the Navy and thought that walking seemed like good therapy. After all, some people go for a stroll to clear their heads.
“I don’t know why it came to me, but it did,” he said.
Overgaard’s stroll took him across the eastern part of the U.S. through snow, sleet, rain and an unforgiving sun.
“I sleep in a tent most every night,” he said. “The trail is very interesting. It’s not the same ever.”
Overgaard said he has learned that the trail is very hilly, and he’s even had to scale boulders at times. Walking the entire path is like walking the equivalent of 15 Mount Everests.
“Pennsylvania was strewn with rocks and every one of them moved when you put your foot on them,” Overgaard said.
He said his favorite states hiked through have been Virginia and New Jersey.
Overgaard said there’s another reason he’s taken the trip. His Lutheran Church in Longville, Minnesota, is trying to convert to solar energy. They figure they can save money while helping the environment.
Overgaard’s trek is helping to raise funds for that project.
“I think solar power is a part of that future, so if I can do something to help that, I’m more than willing to,” he said.
Overgaard said he’s averaging 15 to 17 miles a day, and each night, he and the people traveling with him eat like it’s their job. He said he knows that every step he takes is one step closer to solar power and one step closer to closure.
Like so many others on the trail, he’s walking to heal.
“It’s a change in my life,” he said. “I guess I’m ready to embrace that.”
When Overgaard has completed his journey, he will have walked through 14 states.

Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera said in a new tweet that he’s not going to support former President Trump again.
Rivera on Wednesday stressed the former president’s “shameful” claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
“Election Deniers depress me,” Rivera said. “I blame President Trump for his shameful campaign to slander and undermine American faith in our elections.”
“For all his positive accomplishments, and there are many, I could never support him again,” Rivera added. “Without fealty to the Constitution, we’re 2d rate.”
The former syndicated talk show host has been a frequent critic of Trump in the past few years, previously saying that Trump hadn’t spoken to him after Rivera declared that the 2020 election result had been decided.
Rivera, who in January, 2021 said that Trump should be impeached for his role in the rioting at the Capitol, said in August that the former president still rules the GOP, adding that he’s disappointed in many if not most Republicans for still believing Trump’s election claims.
Rivera last month tweeted a response to James Carville’s interview with The Hill during which the Democratic strategist said that GOP voters are “stupid” for believing that Trump did not lose the 2020 election.
“James Carville is wrong. Trump does rule the GOP. Many, if not most Republicans believe Trump was robbed in 2020. That doesn’t make them ignorant or racist,” Rivera said at the time. “It makes them disappointing. They’re drunk on Trump Koolaid, and either don’t believe he lost, or worse, don’t care.”

The Angel's Envy Bourbon Club to open at Cardinal Stadium
University of Louisville athletics has teamed up with Angel's Envy Bourbon.
It was announced Thursday that Angel's Envy Bourbon, a recently-renovated club space at Cardinal Stadium, will now sport the name of the Louisville-based distillery downtown.
"This is an exciting day for the University of Louisville," UofL Athletic Director Josh Heird said. "With the opening of the Angel's Envy Bourbon Club, we have one of the premier hospitality spaces in the city. It is our goal to provide a best-in-class experience for our fans, and the Angel's Envy Bourbon Club helps us achieve that goal. We are extremely grateful to Angel's Envy for their investment in our university and our athletic department, we look forward with them for years to come."
This was made possible by a $4 million gift from the popular bourbon.
"This is a perfect place to do this," Gigi DaDan, Angel's Envy General Manager, said about the new club. "This allows not only entertainment, but where people can come together. We're a progressive bourbon, and so is the University of Louisville."
The 18,000-square-foot club makeover began in late November 2021.

A majority of Americans believe former President Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement poses a threat to democracy, according to a new Reuters-Ipsos poll.
The new poll, published on Wednesday, found that 58 percent of respondents believe that the MAGA movement is a threat to U.S. democracy.
One in 4 Republicans agreed that the party’s MAGA wing is a threat to democracy, while 60 percent said they don’t believe Trump’s movement represents the majority of their party, the poll said.
The new poll comes in the wake of President Biden’s “Soul of the Nation” address last week, in which he warned that the MAGA wing of the GOP was pushing anti-democratic ideas, such as its continued claims the 2020 election was stolen.
“Not every Republican, not even a majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology,” Biden said in his prime-time speech.
“But there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country.”
Biden faced a wave of backlash from the GOP, who said the speech was divisive and smeared half of the electorate. White House officials pushed back on criticism that Biden’s speech was political, noting that defending democracy isn’t a partisan issue.
Asked about Biden’s address, 59 percent of respondents to the Reuters-Ipsos said it will further divide the country, while nearly half of those surveyed said they didn’t watch the speech at all, the poll said.
The Reuters-Ipsos poll surveyed 1,003 respondents (411 Democrats and 397 Republicans), with a margin of error is 4 percentage points.

Which personalized dog bowl is best?
Personalized dog accessories are easier to get than ever. From small artist shops to big retailers, there are plenty of places that will customize dog tags, collars, beds, shirts and bowls.
Personalized dog bowls are a fun, colorful touch for your dog’s eating area. They’re especially useful in households with more than one pet, so each gets a designated bowl. Check out the Mod Paws Custom Dog Bowl for a bowl that can be customized with your pet’s name and face.
What to know before you buy a personalized dog bowl
Types of bowls
The way your pet’s name is applied across the dog bowl varies depending on how the bowl is made. Stainless steel, ceramic and plastic are the most popular materials.
- Stainless steel bowls can usually go in the dishwasher. They are not microwave-safe but they are incredibly durable. The personalization is laser-engraved, printed on enamel or attached through an adhesive material.
- Ceramic bowls are usually microwave- and dishwasher-safe, provided they are properly glazed. They are breakable but are also heavy, so your dog won’t be as likely to knock it around or make a mess. The personalization is molded into the clay, painted by hand or professionally printed across the surface.
- Plastic bowls are lightweight and inexpensive. Some are dishwasher-safe but not microwave-safe. They are easy to travel with but more prone to collecting bacteria. The personalization is either shaped into the plastic or printed across the surface.
Shape
A personalized dog bowl is usually round or square. Both styles sit flat on the floor or fit into a raised base so your dog doesn’t have to bend into the bowl.
If you are looking for a slow-feed bowl that features ridges on the inside to keep your dog from eating too quickly, some personalized plastic bowls can make those ridges so that they spell out your dog’s name.
Size
Multiple size bowls are offered to accommodate the smallest to the largest breeds. Most bowls come in two standard sizes: a small that holds up to 2 cups of food and a large that holds 3 to 5 cups of food. Some bowls come in more sizes, including extra-small, medium and extra-large.
What to look for in a quality personalized dog bowl
Non-skid base
A rubber non-skid base keeps lightweight stainless steel or plastic bowls from sliding around on the floor while your dog eats or drinks. Some rubber bases are dishwasher-safe but not all, so be sure to check the instructions.
Custom imagery
There are plenty of personalized dog bowls that display your dog’s across the front, but custom imagery goes further than just text. It includes trees and mountains for your furry hiking buddy or bones and treats for the dog who loves to eat.
Custom imagery can also feature a personalized illustration or photos of your pup. Photos are less expensive, while hand-painted portraits cost more.
Fonts and colors
Look for a personalized bowl with a font that reflects your pup’s personality or your sense of style. Some bowls only come in one or two basic fonts, but there are bowls that come in lots of font and color options to better customize the bowl.
How much you can expect to spend on a personalized dog bowl
A single personalized dog bowl costs about $18-$50. A matching set of two costs up to $95.
Personalized dog bowl FAQ
How do you wash the bowl?
A. If the bowl is not dishwasher-safe, hand-wash it with dish detergent and hot water. Dry thoroughly before filling to prevent dry food from sticking.
How do you stop a bowl from sliding on the floor?
A. A bowl without a non-skid base is prone to sliding around, depending on how aggressively your dog eats. To keep the bowl in place, consider placing a non-slip feeding mat beneath the bowl. These mats are easy to clean, and some styles can be personalized to match the bowl.

3 reasons Dodgers will break franchise wins record in 2022 MLB season
The Los Angeles Dodgers are everything baseball fans thought they would be: a complete powerhouse from top to bottom. Despite absences from numerous key players, they have shown to be a clear cut above the rest of the field, scoring the most runs per game and allowing the fewest per game.
Walker Beuhler has been out since early June and will not return this season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Clayton Kershaw is not even up to 100 innings pitched yet this season due to numerous injuries. Still, the Dodgers have overcome absences from two of their most important starters by getting All-Star-caliber seasons from Tony Gonsolin, Tyler Anderson and Julio Urias, who now leads the National League in ERA at 2.29.
On offense, the Dodgers are blessed with both high-end talent and depth. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are both among the top hitters in the game. Trea Turner, Will Smith, Justin Turner and Gavin Lux have all been very good. Even reclamation projects like Trayce Thompson and Joey Gallo are paying off.
The Dodgers won 106 games in 2019 and 2021, the most in any season in franchise history. Can this year’s squad reach 107 victories and set a new franchise record? Here are three reasons why they can.
3. The remaining schedule isn’t very strong
Every game is a winnable game for the best team in baseball. The Dodgers, though, are aided by a very easy schedule to close out the season. They don’t have any more series against the other teams with a top-five record and play some of the worst teams in the league often.
According to Tankathon, their remaining strength of schedule is in the middle of the pack. Their toughest remaining opponent is the St. Louis Cardinals, who they only play thrice more. The Dodgers will face the Arizona Diamondbacks soon, though they will be challenged by Zac Gallen, who is in the midst of a historic streak of shutout innings. Overall, the Dodgers play the Dbacks eight more times this season. They face the Colorado Rockies six more times and the rival San Francisco Giants three more times.
The Dodgers need just 13 more wins in 26 more games to break the record. With only a few decent teams as their biggest threats, it shouldn’t be hard for them to make history.
2. Their offense is borderline unstoppable
The Dodgers’ lineup is the stuff of legends. They have a myriad of stars that can uplift them on any given night and the depth to help them when they need it.
The Dodgers are represented well on the leaderboards. Betts is in the midst of a chase for the NL home run crown, with his 33 dingers coming just 3 short of the leader (Kyle Schwarber). Freeman’s 172 hits and 44 doubles lead all major-league hitters and he has the fourth-highest on-base percentage in baseball. Trea Turner’s 23 stolen bases (on 26 attempts) is a top-10 mark in MLB. Even Lux shows up on the leaderboard with his seven triples tying for the most in baseball.
As a team, they are the sole leaders in both on-base and slugging percentage while trying with the Toronto Blue Jays in batting average. Their 5.39 runs per game make them the only team above five. A big reason why is that they hit ground balls less often than every other team (37.5 percent of the time) while hitting fly balls more often than any other team (31.3 percent of the time). Their 21.7 strikeout percentage is a bit below league average while their percentage of home runs and walks are both top five.
The Dodgers’ offense has been great even with Max Muncy having a massive down year. He finally started to turn around in August, the first month he posted an OPS of above .700 this season. Cody Bellinger remains disappointing and unproductive, though not as much as last season. Chris Taylor’s positional versatility remains valuable but he has not been that good at the plate either. So, the potential is there for this unit to be even more unfair.
1. Their pitching is outstanding
What makes the Dodgers so scary is that hitting may not even be the side of the ball they’re the best at. An argument could be made that their pitching is their strength since their key players have missed so much time. The key guys they have put on the mound feature a collection of players that no one would have guessed would be good enough to be a top unit, let alone the very best.
Gonsolin has pitched magnificently when healthy, earning an All-Star bid and some heavy consideration to be an early Cy Young Award pick. Anderson played for four teams in three years before becoming an All-Star in LA. Urias padded his case as one of the biggest All-Star snubs. Kershaw has, of course, been effective when he is able to go. Andrew Heaney and Mitch White have been solid as well. The Dodgers’ starters have a collective ERA under three, which no other team can claim.
The bullpen has plenty of options, too, even with the recent injury to Brusdar Graterol. Evan Philips has been great and Alex Vesia, Yency Almonte and Caleb Ferguson have been solid. Craig Kimbrel has been the closer but it should soon be Philips’ role.
At full strength, the Dodgers’ pitching would be absurdly dominant. Even when it isn’t, the unit has been unbelievable all season. Whether that is subject to change in the playoffs remains to be seen but, at the very least, LA has plenty of talent to reach a new franchise wins record.

QUOTES-Queen Elizabeth's death: Reaction from world leaders
Queen Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch and the nation's figurehead for seven decades, has died aged 96, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.
Here is some reaction to the news: U.N. SECRETARY-GENERAL ANTONIO GUTERRES
"As the United Kingdom's longest-lived and longest-reigning Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II was widely admired for her grace, dignity, and dedication around the world. She was a reassuring presence throughout decades of sweeping change, including the decolonization of Africa and Asia and the evolution of the Commonwealth. "Queen Elizabeth II was a good friend of the United Nations, and visited our New York Headquarters twice, more than fifty years apart. She was deeply committed to many charitable and environmental causes and spoke movingly to delegates at the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow.
"I would like to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II for her unwavering, lifelong dedication to serving her people. The world will long remember her devotion and leadership." U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND JILL BIDEN
"In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her," they said in a statement. "Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world." BARBADOS PRESIDENT SANDRA MASON
"Just under one year ago Barbados took the decision to complete the course of independence by breaking constitutional ties with the British monarchy and establishing the world's newest republic. Significant as that decision was, given the place Barbados has held in the British Empire for centuries, it did not in the least diminish the friendship between our two nations, or indeed with Buckingham Palace." In a televised address, Mason said the nation would always treasure the memory of the Queen's visits, particularly when she knighted cricket player Garfield Sobers in 1975.
INDIAN PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered as a stalwart of our times. She provided inspiring leadership to her nation and people. She personified dignity and decency in public life. Pained by her demise. My thoughts are with her family and people of UK in this sad hour."
SHEHBAZ SHARIF, PRIME MINISTER OF PAKISTAN "Deeply grieved at the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Pakistan joins the UK & other Commonwealth nations in mourning her death. My heartfelt condolences to the royal family, people & government of the UK."
CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU "It was with the heaviest of hearts that we learned of the passing of Canada’s longest-reigning Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was a constant presence in our lives – and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history."
GHANAIAN PRESIDENT NANA AKUFO-ADDO "The Ghanaian people have very fond memories of the two visits she made to Ghana during her reign, and, on both occasions, we remember the friendliness, elegance, style and sheer joy she brought to the performance of her duties."
SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA “Her Majesty was an extraordinary and world-renowned public figure who lived a remarkable life. Her life and legacy will be fondly remembered by many around the world. The Queen’s commitment and dedication during her 70 years on the throne remains a noble and virtuous example to the entire world.”
COMMONWEALTH SECRETARY-GENERAL PATRICIA SCOTLAND "Her Majesty loved the Commonwealth, and the Commonwealth loved her. During her reign she travelled more than any monarch in history, visiting every part of our family of nations. Between 1971 and 2018, she missed only one Heads of Government Meeting."
"The growth and vibrancy of our modern Commonwealth is a credit to her and testament to her dedication, wisdom and leadership." NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN
“I know that I speak for people across New Zealand in offering our deepest sympathy to members of the Royal Family at the passing of the Queen. To us she was a much admired and respected monarch, to them she was a mother and grandmother." “The Queen was a much loved and admired monarch, whose record reign of 70 years is an absolute testament to her, and her commitment to us all. She was extraordinary."
AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER ANTHONY ALBANESE "With the passing of Queen Elizabeth the Second, an historic reign and a long life devoted to duty, family, faith and service has come to an end."
"Australian hearts go out to the people of the United Kingdom who mourn today, knowing they will feel they have lost part of what makes their nation whole." "There is comfort to be found in Her Majesty’s own words: 'Grief is the price we pay for love'."
JAMAICAN PRIME MINISTER ANDREW HOLNESS "We join our brothers and sisters in the Commonwealth in mourning her passing, and pray for the comfort of the members of her family, and the people of the United Kingdom, as they grieve the loss of their beloved Queen and matriarch."
FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND FORMER FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP "Queen Elizabeth’s historic and remarkable reign left a tremendous legacy of peace and prosperity for Great Britain. Her leadership and enduring diplomacy secured and advanced alliances with the United States and countries around the world."
FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA "Michelle and I were lucky enough to come to know Her Majesty, and she meant a great deal to us."
"Time and again, we were struck by her warmth, the way she put people at ease, and how she brought her considerable humor and charm to moments of great pomp and circumstance." FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH
"Laura and I were honored to have known Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was a woman of great intellect, charm, and wit. Spending time at Buckingham Palace, and having tea with Her Majesty – and her Corgis – is among our fondest memories of the presidency. Queen Elizabeth ably led England through dark moments with her confidence in her people and her vision for a brighter tomorrow." FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
"My thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family and all the people Her Majesty inspired throughout her lifetime of service." EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT URSULA VON DER LEYEN

"Her State Visit to Ireland in 2011 marked a crucial step in the normalisation of relations with our nearest neighbour. That visit was a great success, largely because of the many gracious gestures and warm remarks made by the Queen."
DUTCH KING WILLEM-ALEXANDER "We remember Queen Elizabeth II with deep respect and great affection. Steadfast and wise, she dedicated her long life to serving the British people. We feel a strong bond with the United Kingdom and its royal family, and we share their sorrow at this time."
NORWAY'S KING HARALD "Our thoughts are with His Majesty The King and the members of the Royal Family on the loss of Queen Elizabeth.

We also send our condolences to the British people.
KING CARL XVI GUSTAF OF SWEDEN “With sadness, my family and I have today received the news that my dear relative, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, has passed away.
"The Queen served Her countries and the Commonwealth with an outstanding devotion and sense of duty. She has been a constant presence, not only in British society but internationally. In addition, she has always been a good friend to my family and a link to our shared family history." SWEDISH PRIME MINISTER MAGDALENA ANDERSSON

LOGAN — Looking back, it’s hard to believe that a race that started as just a crazy idea in the minds of Dave Bern and Jeff Keller in 1983 would later become one of the most popular bike races in the country. With just over 1,500 cyclists and 600 volunteers expected at this year’s edition, enthusiasm for the LoToJa classic is still going strong.
The idea for LoToJa started when Bern and Keller sought to organize a race that resembled the difficulty of a one-day European classic, like Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders. LoToJa’s first year featured all of seven cyclists racing 192 miles from Logan to a finish line in the town square in Jackson Hole.
“The morning after the first LoToJa, we were all having breakfast together in Jackson Hole, and I asked my friends if they would be willing to do this race again next year,” Bern said. “Without hesitation, everyone said, ‘yes.’”
“Jeff and I just wanted to try and do something that had never been done before, and it turns out, there is an entire community of cyclists who like to think big and do something they never thought they could do,” Bern said. “That’s the draw for LoToJa.”
LoToJa, pronounced “Low-Ta-Juh” is well-known in cycling circles as one of the longest continually running cycling races in the country, covering over 200 miles from Logan to Jackson Hole. Since the first race in 1983, LoToJa has seen 21,000 cyclists who have ridden over 6.7 million miles during the event. It has also raised nearly $3 million in donations for cancer research at the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
But LoToJa almost didn’t happen due to the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of race director Brent Chambers and many volunteers, the race went on. “Brent created and followed a comprehensive set of COVID-19 protocols that worked,” Bern said.
“That is something Brent worked very hard to do,” Bern said. “Keeping LoToJa going during the pandemic did create new challenges. Our first concern was for the cyclists’ and volunteers’ health and safety. I’m proud to say we were able to keep the race going with a lot of help from so many amazing people.”
When the race began in 1983 the course was a bit different from the route the cyclists will ride this week.
“Back then the traditional racecourse started in the same place it does now, at Sunrise Cyclery in Logan,” Bern said. “It then went through Preston, Idaho, over Treasureton Summit to the town of Grace, and on to Soda Springs. Then came a difficult climb over Tincup Pass, which then reconnected to the current route, north on Highway 89, and onto the final stretch to Jackson Hole.”
Bern said the race’s distance was extended to 200 miles when the finish line was moved to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in 1986.
A quick check of LoToJa history shows the first winner was Bob VanSlyke of Logan, with a time just over nine hours. According to Bern, VanSlyke was one of the strongest riders he has ever ridden with. “Bob was in the best shape of us all,” Bern said.
“At that first race, I remember I was on the first big climb up Treasureton Summit on Highway 34. I was riding with James Munson, and as we started up the hill, Bob picked up the pace and dropped us both and just disappeared up the mountain. He rode the rest of the race alone to the finish. There was no question that he was going to win it. He is the original Hammer Man of LoToJa.”
VanSlyke still rides his mountain bike near his home outside of Colorado Springs, but not at the distances he once did at that first LoToJa.
“I have fond memories of that first LoToJa,” VanSlyke said. “We had a bunch of guys that just wanted to go out and do something that had never been done before and we were young enough and crazy enough to try. Who would have thought it would have turned into something as amazing as it has for everyone to enjoy.”
Now that the 40th annual LoToJa Classic is here, it will start Saturday in the same spot the first race did, in front of Sunrise Cyclery. The notion of riding 203 miles doesn’t sound so farout now as it did back in 1983. But then again, that’s what makes endurance races like LoToJa so enticing. Pushing cyclists to accomplish what others thought was unattainable in the past, will soon become reality for many on the race course Saturday.
Glenn Seninger lives in Salt Lake City and is a 13-time LoToJa finisher.

House Republicans told the Department of Defense that they are “gravely concerned” about President Biden using Marines as “political props” during his Sept. 1 speech in Philadelphia.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the lawmakers said it appeared that the Marines “participated in a political event” that “jeopardizes their compliance” with Pentagon regulations against participating in political activities while in uniform.
“We are gravely concerned that throughout the entirety of this partisan, politically charged, and divisive address to the nation, two United States Marines were visibly present flanking the President in the background,” the lawmakers wrote.
“The President’s use of active-duty Marines as political props undermines the apolitical nature of our servicemembers and erodes trust in our military,” they continued.
The letter was signed by House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), House Armed Services Committee ranking member Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) and House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense ranking member Ken Calvert (R-Calf.).
The Pentagon referred questions on the use of the Marines to the White House, but said “as with any letter the Secretary receives from lawmakers, his team will reply to the authors of the letter in due time.”
Biden’s use of the Marines during his speech sparked debate, with many who liked the president’s remarks criticizing the positioning of Marines behind him during a speech that was largely seen as political.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later insisted that Biden had the Marines there out of respect for the military and its role in defending democracy.
“It is not abnormal. It is actually normal for presidents from either side of the aisle to give speeches in front of members of the military,” she added. “It is not an unusual sight or is not an unusual event to have happen.”
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder declined to comment on the use of the Marines during Biden’s speech on Tuesday, referring to comments made by Jean-Pierre last week.
In their letter, the lawmakers asked Austin to respond to questions regarding his knowledge of Biden’s use of the Marines during the speech.
They asked if anyone in the Defense Department knew of the contents of Biden’s speech before he gave it, if the agency knew that two active-duty service members would be involved and what guidance was given to the White House regarding their participation in the event, among other things.
“You’ve expressed your concern about politicization of the military and have insisted the military will not become a political instrument under your watch. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened with the participation of the Marines at this political event,” the lawmakers wrote.

Sarah Ferguson pays tribute to ‘selfless and incredible’ Queen as world mourns death of Her Majesty
SARAH Ferguson has described the Queen as the "most incredible mother-in-law and friend" following her death at the age of 96.
Her Majesty Elizabeth II died "peacefully" on Wednesday at Balmoral after a stellar 70-year reign - leaving the world in mourning.
The Duchess of York - who was married to the Queen's youngest son Andrew for a decade - has praised the monarch as "selfless" in an emotional tribute.
She praised the Queen for her "generosity" even after she and the Duke parted ways in 1996.
Sarah - often nicknamed Fergie - said: "I am heartbroken by the passing of Her Majesty the Queen.
"She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy: the most fantastic example of duty and service and steadfastness, and a constant steadying presence as our head of state for more than 70 years.
"She has given her whole life selflessly to the people of the UK & the Commonwealth.
"To me, she was the most incredible mother-in-law and friend.
"I will always be grateful to her for the generosity she showed me in remaining close to me even after my divorce.
"I will miss her more than words can express."
Most read in The Scottish Sun
Although Sarah and Andrew split in 1996, they have remained very close in due part to their children Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
Buckingham Palace announced the Queen's passing in a statement tonight.
It read: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
"The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."
Charles, who will now be known as King Charles III, gave a sombre statement as he led the nation in mourning tonight.
The new King said: “The death of my beloved mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
The Queen's passing comes as...
- Liz Truss hailed the Queen as ‘the rock on which modern Britain was built’
- King Charles told of his 'greatest' sadness as he paid tribute to his mother
- The Queen went from a shy daddy's girl to a hero who dedicated her life to the country
- The Union flag flew at half mast as the devastating news was announced
- Prince Charles has now become King Charles III
- Prince Harry was pictured holding his head as he travelled to Balmoral to be with his family
Crowds have gathered at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Balmoral to pay tribute to the Queen
“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held.”
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released a heartfelt tribute to the late Queen.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex changed their Archewell website to just a single black page, writing: "In loving memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. 1926-2022."
The Royal Family's social media profile changed to the United Kingdom's royal coat of arms.

Does the ECB foresee the arrival of a recession in the euro area or not? In the press conference following the 75-point rate hike announced today by the European central bank, Christine Lagarde, number one of the institute, specified that the central bank staff has a base scenario and a downside scenario: a decidedly gloomy downside scenario , as he pointed out, which expects the Eurozone to fall into recession in 2023.
It should be noted, according to the statement released today by the ECB that, in the base scenario, the outlook on economic growth (GDP growth) in the euro area has already recorded a marked downward revision for the remainder of this year and throughout 2023.
Estimates are now for GDP growth of 3.1% in 2022, 0.9% in 2023 and 1.9% in 2024.
But in the downside scenario, a recession is expected in 2023.
Lagarde explained that the downside scenario foresees “a total interruption of the gas supply” – which, Lagarde said today, has already happened with the stop of the gas that arrived from Russia to Europe through the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline – and the energy rationing.
The scenario does not take into account the increased gas supply from other producing countries such as those in the Pacific Area, such as Norway or the United States.

N.Korea makes nuclear weapons policy 'irreversible' with new law - KCNA
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
SEOUL, Sept 9 (Reuters) - North Korea has passed a law officially enshrining its nuclear weapons policies, a move that leader Kim Jong Un said makes its nuclear status "irreversible" and bars any negotiation on denuclearisation, state media reported on Friday.
The move comes as observers say North Korea appears to be preparing to resume nuclear testing for the first time since 2017, after historic summits with then-U.S. President Donald Trump and other world leaders in 2018 failed to convince Kim to abandon his weapons development.
The North's rubber-stamp parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, passed the law on Thursday, according to state news agency KCNA. The law outlines when nuclear weapons can be used, including to protect the country's strategic assets and if it is attacked.

The law also bans any sharing of nuclear arms or technology with other countries, KCNA reported.
"The utmost significance of legislating nuclear weapons policy is to draw an irretrievable line so that there can be no bargaining over our nuclear weapons," Kim said in a speech to the Supreme People's Assembly.
U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has offered to talk to Kim any time, at any place, and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has said his country would provide massive amounts of economic aid if Pyongyang began to give up its arsenal.

5 charged with attempted murder after shooting at Spartanburg County deputies, officials say
Five people are facing murder charges after shooting at Spartanburg County deputies during a chase Thursday morning, according to Lt. Kevin Bobo with Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
Around 2 a.m. a deputy got behind an SUV at Hayne and Springs Streets that was stolen from the parking garage at The Marriott on N. Church Street on Aug. 30, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, the SUV had several suspects so the deputy waited for backup to arrive before he attempted a traffic stop.
The driver of the stolen vehicle refused to stop and a pursuit began, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, right after the pursuit passed Spartanburg Industrial Road, two of the suspects in the vehicle fired six to eight shots at two deputies from a handgun and a rifle.
Neither they nor their patrol units were struck with any bullets, Bobo said.
The pursuit entered Spartanburg from the county, and at one point, the driver of the stolen vehicle cut off the lights before abruptly stopping at a café on Howard Street and all the suspects fled, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, a canine track located two of the suspects, and a Spartanburg police officer located a third suspect.
All three suspects were transported to the Sheriff’s Office for interviews, and after being advised of their rights, all three confessed to their involvement in this incident as well as identifying the two other suspects, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, the two additional suspects were located later in the day, arrested and confessed to their participation in the incident.
All five suspects also confessed to a burglary at the Smart Cash Pawn Shop in Whitney on Sept. 6, an attempted burglary at the Camp Croft Trading Company, and burglaries to Apple Auto Rental on Venture Drive, and the Subway on Southport Road earlier Wednesday night before the pursuit, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, the suspects also confessed to two shootings at two different apartment complexes in the city on Sept. 6, and a robbery/shooting at an apartment complex in the county on Sept. 4.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office and the Spartanburg Police Department still have active investigations of these multiple incidents, and as those investigations are completed, more warrants will be signed.
The only incident where all five suspects have been charged yet is the attempted murder incident.
Kanye Antoine Cromer-Hines, 18, of Spartanburg, Walter Lee Long, III, 20, of Spartanburg, Dorian Samir Petty, 20, of Una, Nyjawon Jaymez Jamaine Williams, 17, of Spartanburg and a 16-year-old juvenile are charged with two counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, and possession of a stolen vehicle
In total, 24 warrants were signed on the suspects, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, Long has an additional charge of failure to stop, since he was the driver of the stolen vehicle.
Both Petty and Williams have the additional charges of possession of a stolen firearm, since they are the ones who shot at our deputies, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, one of the weapons was stolen from the city, and the other was stolen from the pawn shop burglary in Whitney.
Williams was also charged with malicious damage, since he vandalized one of our interrogation rooms once he was transported to the office, Bobo said.
According to Bobo, despite Williams being only 17 years old, due to the severity of his offenses, he was charged as an adult.
The 16-year-old was transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia, Bobo said.

Creating stunning feather earrings made from recycled bike tires, Erena Wylie has found a lucrative market for her handmade earrings.
However, she is not your regular business owner.
Dealing with learning difficulties because of her Williams syndrome, Erena has started Eez Earrings to try to create an income for herself while enjoying a creative outlet.
Funding to start the project has come from the Ministry for Culture and Heritage's Te Tahua Whakahaumaru Creative Arts Recovery and Employment (CARE) Fund, which has enabled members of the Kāpiti Arts Studio to work on additional art projects.

Advertise with NZME.The funding has enabled the studio to be open more often, start new projects and pay for resources to assist the artists in regularly showing their work.
Last month Kāpiti News did a story on Āwhina Andrew who achieved her dream of publishing a poem book.
Now, Erena's business has taken off with her feather earrings inspired by native birds for sale at Big Mac Slabs, Pataka, Māoriland Hub and Mahara iti.
She also has meetings at Zealandia and Aurora Arts and Gifts on Stewart Island lined up.
Starting out as a hobby making earrings for herself, Erena has plans to sell enough earrings to live off.
"I love wearing them, I try the new styles on when I make a new collection.
"The sales are going amazing, I've had lots of feedback from people, they're selling and selling at galleries."
With collections named after the tūī, takahē, kākā, kea and huia, Erena is extending her range to include kingfisher and kiwi-inspired earrings.

"The kingfisher has all the psychedelic colours that stand out."
While she enjoys making the earrings and the money that comes from them, Erena said it's a long process.
"It takes quite a while by the time you mix the colours, try to get them the right colour, and sometimes it turns out different on the rubber.
"I add a gloss coat and on the huia feathers, I paint on the white tip.
"Attaching findings was a bit fiddly for me, but Becs [Rebecca Bond] showed me how to do it."

Advertise with NZME.Being mentored by Kāpiti Arts Studio co-ordinator and jewellery maker Rebecca Bond has enabled Erena to learn the process of creating and selling earrings from start to finish.
"I work with Erena on Mondays and each time we work on what's next for her earrings," Rebecca said.
"She creates her jewellery at her dining room table at home.
"When we get together we talk about where she's at, her next steps (goals) and how I can support her.
"The end goal is that she is completely independent and we are very close to reaching that goal.
"Anything she has trouble with or is unsure about, I show her how to do it and then she's away, she's a fast learner."

Advertise with NZME.On weekends Rebecca takes Erena out to drop off earrings at Pataka and places that have called for more, and they have also done workshops at Te Papa together.
"We are so lucky in this town with all the wonderful people Erena interacts with as they are all so supportive, from the guys at Evo Cycles where she gets the bike tyres, to galleries, right down to the staff at Paper Plus where she does her posting.
"It really helps when Erena meets people, because she is an amazing saleswoman."
Erena has had great support from Steph Smith at Big Mac Slabs.
"Steph has been great, giving Erena lots of business advice and support."
Erena has made several sales, with her biggest sales to Pataka in Porirua and Māoriland in Ōtaki.

Advertise with NZME."I didn't realise how busy I would be, it's amazing how it picks up and then drops, and then picks up again," Erena said.
Erena has also enjoyed making pendant necklaces, but found they don't sell as well.
She has given earrings to local MP Barbara Edmonds and gave some to Kāpiti Mayor K. Gurunathan for his wife, who called her later to thank her for them.
"I got a call from Claire [Gurunathan] thanking me for the earrings, she really liked them."
Erena's earrings can be found at Big Mac Slabs, Pataka, Mahara iti and Māoriland Hub or you can contact her at erenajwylie@gmail.com.

Legalization of cannabis seeds in various countries and awareness among the people about the therapeutic benefits of cannabis drive the growth of the global cannabis seeds market.
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allied Market Research recently published a report, titled, "Cannabis Seeds Market by Nature (Organic, Conventional), by Type (Feminized seeds, Regular seeds, Autoflowering seeds), by Distribution Channel (Specialty stores, Wholesalers and distributors, Online sales channel): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031." As per the report, the global cannabis seeds industry was estimated at $1.3 billion in 2021, and is set to reach $6.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 18.4% from 2022 to 2031. The report offers a detailed analysis of changing market trends, top segments, key investment pockets, value chains, regional landscapes, and competitive scenarios.
Drivers, restraints, and opportunities
Legalization of cannabis seeds in various countries and awareness among the people about the therapeutic benefits of cannabis drive the growth of the global cannabis seeds market. Apart from this, the rise in consumer knowledge about the health advantages provided by cannabis seeds and their growing medicinal use will boost market expansion across the globe over the forecasting years. Moreover, the legalization of cannabis in countries such as Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand for medicinal use will open new growth opportunities for the global market in the coming years.
Request Sample Report at: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/17287
Covid-19 scenario:
- The implementation of lockdown and curfew on a global scale severely impacted both domestic and foreign manufacturers of cannabis seeds, which in turn hindered the global cannabis seeds market expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The COVID-19 epidemic had a negative influence on the global market in 2020 as a result of a decline in company sales and a temporary suspension of operations due to the pandemic outbreak.
The conventional segment to dominate the global market in terms of revenue by 2031
Based on the nature, the conventional segment contributed to the highest market share in 2021, accounting for more than half of the global cannabis seeds market share. Reportedly, this segment is predicted to contribute majorly toward overall market share by 2031. Furthermore, this same segment is predicted to register the fastest CAGR of nearly 18.7% from 2022 to 2031. The growth of the segment over the forecast period can be attributed to the use of conventionally grown cannabis in chemical fertilizers and pesticides for preventing pest infestations in plants. The report also analysis other segments such as the organic segment.
The regular seeds segment to hold the major market share over 2022-2031
On basis of the type, the regular seeds segment contributed to the highest market share in 2021, accounting for nearly half of the global market share. Reportedly, this segment is predicted to contribute majorly toward overall market share by 2031. The growth of the segment over the forecast period can be due to the use of regular seeds in the commercial production of cannabis. Furthermore, the feminized seeds segment is anticipated to record the fastest CAGR of 19.5% over the forecast period. The growth of the segment over the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in the number of commercial and residential growers of cannabis. The report also includes other segments such as autoflowering seeds.
The wholesalers and distributors segment to dominate the global market by 2031
In terms of the distribution channel, the wholesalers and distributors segment contributed to the highest market share in 2021, accounting for more than half of the global cannabis seeds market share. Reportedly, this segment is predicted to contribute majorly toward an overall market share in 2031. The expansion of this segment over the forecast timeline is due to the segment being a key component of logistics and transport activities. Furthermore, wholesalers and distributors play a pivotal role in the acquisition, storage, and preparation for the sale of cannabis products to their customers. However, the specialty stores segment is predicted to register the fastest CAGR of nearly 19.4% from 2022 to 2031. The segmental surge can be due to the delivery of high-quality service and detailed product specifications & expert guidance to customers. Apart from this, the constant evolution of the retail industry along with changes in consumer behavior and improvement in overall lifestyle across the world has led to the introduction of specialized retail formats, thereby driving segmental growth.
North America to retain global market domination over 2022-2031
By Region, North America contributed notably in 2021, and is projected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. The region accounted for more than four-fifths of the global cannabis seeds market in 2021. The growth of the market in the region over the forecast timespan can be credited to the high demand for cannabis and cannabis products in the region. However, the LAMEA region is anticipated to record the fastest CAGR of 30.5% from 2022 to 2031. The growth of the regional market over the forecast period can be attributed to the legalization of cannabis in several countries in Africa.

Lake Mohawk Preservation Foundation honors two local contributors
SPARTA. The honors will be bestowed at the annual Recognition Celebration.
The Lake Mohawk Preservation Foundation will hold its annual Recognition Celebration on October 2 to celebrate and honor the contributions from two honorees: Sparta resident Kathy Romine and Lake Mohawk’s Balanced Rock Beach (Beach 6).
This year the foundation will present Romine with the Fran Smith Award and Balanced Rock Beach with the Organization Leadership Award.
“Our annual event is an opportunity to recognize the Foundation’s accomplishments over the past year,” said Board President Bill Askin. “We honor contributions from exceptional individuals and organizations who align with the initiatives of the Lake Mohawk Preservation Foundation and work to keep our environment healthy.”
According to a press release, Romine was selected for her continued volunteerism over the years and her “positive contribution to our community,” which helped make Lake Mohawk and the Sparta community “a cleaner and better place to live.”
The officers of Balanced Rock Beach 6, which is reportedly one of the most popular beaches at the lake, will be recognized for offering a variety of programming and events for the community, and then donating the profits from those events to community members in need.
This year the event will be held Sunday, October 2, from 3 to 6:30 p.m., on the Lake Mohawk Boardwalk. The public is encouraged to attend the ceremony, which will feature live music, a 50/50 raffle, and other delights. Tickets start at $40; for those who can’t attend, donations will also be accepted.
The Lake Mohawk Preservation Foundation created the Fran Smith Lake Preservation Award to pay tribute to Fran Smith, a community leader and club general manager for many years. Before Smith ‘s tenure at Lake Mohawk, there were no benches or flowers on the boardwalk, and the lake water was green.
Smith initiated the Preservation Foundation 10 years ago with the vision of helping to preserve the lake. The foundation has expanded to ensure that Smith’s vision also includes preserving the headwater of the Wallkill River.

SUNRISE, Fla. – British expatriates and other South Florida residents mourned the loss of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch Thursday.
Local 10 News was at The King’s Head British Pub in Sunrise as they learned the news.
“Oh, she just passed away!” Linda Wise said.
Wise runs the British Corner Market next door, where the Queen’s image is next to the Cadbury eggs and the Beatles.
“Who’s more popular, Beatles or the queen?” Local 10 News reporter Glenna Milberg asked.
“The queen,” Wise said. “Absolutely, the queen.”
The monarch made her first and only visit to South Florida in 1991, visiting Booker T. Washington Middle School and Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.
Non-British South Floridians mourned too.
“To live that long and be as gracious in front of the world kind of life is very remarkable,” Randy Ryder said.
Wise said while the monarchy as an institution has its supporters and those who’d like to see it gone, there’s universal respect for the woman who, in her 20s, pledged to lead her countrymen and women and did so with unfailing grace and duty.
“She’s been our queen for years and gave her life up for it,” Wise said.

SEATTLE (AP) — One year after saying virtual life sentences are unconstitutional for teenage killers, the Washington Supreme Court changed course Thursday in a split ruling that drew irate dissents from four justices.
The 5-4 decision was a striking departure for a court that in recent years has steadily embraced research showing that juveniles' brain development typically makes them less culpable than adults, and which has made significant efforts to undo the impact of racial bias in the criminal justice system.
“The majority rewrites our jurisprudence to profoundly limit the protection we have found our state constitution gives to children,” Chief Justice Steven González wrote in his dissent.
The court upheld a 61-year sentence for Tonelli Anderson, a Black man who was 17 when he shot two women, killing one of them and blinding the other, during a drug robbery in Tukwila in 1994. An accomplice shot and killed a man in the same home.
In 2018 — in line with a long trend of federal and state criminal cases recognizing that children must be treated differently by the courts — Washington's justices held that it violated the state Constitution to sentence 16- or 17-year-olds to life in prison without parole. That ruling came in the case of Brian Bassett, a white man who killed his parents and brother when he was 16.
Last September, the court went further, striking down a 46-year sentence for Timothy Haag, a white man who was 17 when he drowned his 7-year-old neighbor in a bathtub.
The majority decision in that case — signed by six justices — held that such a long sentence for a juvenile is essentially a life sentence because it leaves the defendant without “a meaningful opportunity to rejoin society after leaving prison.” Therefore, the court said, it was unconstitutional.
Thursday's ruling abandoned that precedent, saying instead that such virtual life sentences for juveniles are barred by the state Constitution only if their crimes “reflect youthful immaturity, impetuosity, or failure to appreciate risks and consequences.”
Anderson's was not such a case, Justice Debra Stephens wrote for the majority.
He was not immediately arrested for the shootings, but went on to commit other crimes as a young adult, including assault and robbery, and he wrote letters to girlfriends bragging about the shootings. It wasn't until 1998, after someone tipped off investigators about the letters, that he was charged. He long failed to admit guilt or express remorse, Stephens noted.
Stephens dissented from the majority in Haag's case last year, saying she did not believe a 46-year sentence was necessarily unconstitutional for a juvenile. She framed her opinion Thursday as a clarification of that ruling.
The dissenting justices disagreed, calling it a rewriting of the Haag decision's clear prohibition on virtual life sentences for juveniles. It was nonsensical and troubling that the court would find a 46-year sentence for a white 17-year-old to be an unconstitutional “de facto” life sentence, while upholding a 61-year sentence for a Black 17-year-old, they said.
“Bassett and Haag are both white. Anderson is Black,” Justice Mary Yu wrote in her dissent. “Bassett and Haag were both recognized by this court as former juvenile offenders capable of redemption and rehabilitation, and they were ordered to be resentenced accordingly. Anderson has been denied any such recognition and resentencing, contrary to the law and the evidence.”
Yu wrote that she was not accusing the majority of intentional discrimination, but she added: “It would be willfully oblivious to conclude that race has played no role in the dramatically inconsistent treatment given to these three former juvenile offenders by our court system.”
González pointed out unrebutted evidence of Anderson's rehabilitation in prison, including his work as a machine operator in the license plate shop and other prison jobs, his good performance ratings, completing college courses, obtaining bookkeeping and accounting certifications, tutoring other offenders, and engaging in many other training and treatment programs. That suggests he deserved a new sentencing hearing, González wrote.
He also noted that the charges against Anderson were brought around the time of the “super-predator” myth of the 1990s — the debunked notion that some teens, mainly inner-city Black and brown offenders, were irredeemable, and which frequently played a role in lengthy sentences being given to minority offenders.
“It is disturbing that youthful white offenders who have appeared before the Supreme Court received relief that Mr. Anderson, who is Black, did not," his attorney, Travis Stearns, said in an email.
The King County Prosecutor's Office, which opposed granting Anderson a new sentence, urged the justices to overturn the decisions in Haag and Bassett, saying they were incorrectly decided. Anderson's youth did not play a significant role in his crimes, it argued.
Marsha Levick is the chief legal officer of the Philadelphia-based Juvenile Law Center, which has participated in juvenile-justice cases before the Washington Supreme Court and filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting Anderson's appeal.
“It's surprising from a court that has been so steady in its journey in assessing extreme sentencing,” Levick said. “They have stepped away from the path that they had been on.”
Justices Charles Johnson, Barbara Madsen, Susan Owens and Helen Whitener joined Stephens in the majority. Owens and Whitener were in the majority in the Haag case as well.
The dissenting justices were Yu, González, Sheryl Gordon McCloud and Raquel Montoya-Lewis.

(Motor Authority) — Dodge showcased its past, present, and future during Speed Week at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, last week. CEO Tim Kuniskis held court over three nights of product unveilings, dubbed Current Muscle, Gateway Muscle, and Future Muscle.
Banking on one more year, Kuniskis reintroduced the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat and multiple Challenger and Charger iterations of the final Dodge V-8s before production culminates at the end of 2023. Gateway Muscle showcased the 2023 Dodge Hornet small crossover in turbo-4 and plug-in hybrid variants. But the final night, Future Muscle, won the web with the launch of the stunning two-door Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept.
With a 1980s hair metal cover band rocking to a crowd of Dodge enthusiasts and automotive journalists, Kuniskis took time away from the party to talk with Motor Authority about the American performance brand’s current and electric future.
This interview has been edited for clarity.
2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat
Why did the Dodge Durango Hellcat come back?
We had to change the (gas) tank, we had to change the software, we had to change the evaporative emission control system, and we had to change a lot of stuff to make it more than one model year. The reaction was beyond our expectations. We had 3k orders…for a very expensive UV, I couldn’t fill. Let’s be honest, it’s a publicly traded company. I have an obligation to the shareholders to make as much money as I can. So how do I look at shareholders and go, “Yeah I have 3k people willing to spend 85k for an SUV,” and I told them sorry, too bad? It’s a tough call, but at the same time, it’s not a very tough call. So I’m sorry that I made people mad but it’s two years later and because of the reaction and the 3k orders and the engineers had some time, and they got creative and figured it out.
We don’t sell a single car that anyone needs. If I have an opportunity to bring a car back to a market that people love, I have to do it. I don’t wanna piss anyone off, but if I have 3k orders cash in hand, I gotta do it.
With the supply constraints and reports of some dealers charging more, the release of the seven “Buzz model” Chargers and Challengers is going to be a free for all, isn’t it?
Well, I have no control over what dealer charges. But, if I put on my website where every single car is, now you know where all the cars are. So now you (the customer) can go anywhere, do anything, whatever you want. You can’t do that today.
How does the transition from gas models to electric vehicles affect Dodge dealers? What are the growing pains of the two-year wait until you release your first electric car?
During the two years I gotta keep selling all the cars I got, because I have a rabid passionate base of people who love these cars. Then I got other people who are like, “Hey, what are you doing for electrification? I’m interested. What are you bringing?” I gotta keep them both happy. The same thing is happening with dealers.
I’m going to give them so much time—that’s why we patented the stuff. Will the patents hold? I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer. But what I do know is I didn’t want to bring the car (Charger Daytona EV Concept) out in 2024 and say, “Hey it’s great, take my word for it.” I wanted to bring it out way in advance so you guys can all talk about it.
How does the Dodge Charger Daytona’s Fratsonic Chambered Exhaust work?
The noise that a car makes today is like a mystical thing for most people. It’s pretty simple. We spend months and millions of dollars tuning exhaust pipes to make them sound the way they sound. It becomes a trademark of the sound of your brand. The sound that your brain hears is the movement of air.
When we started working on this, I said, “What I want is a pipe organ”, and they said, “What are you drinking again?” You’ve all been to a cathedral and you’ve seen a pipe organ…and heard this amazing sound, and instantaneously whether you know or not your brain makes a connection between the pipes, the air, and the sound, and it makes sense. I said I want that. I want to take what makes sound in a car today, am I at idle, am I accelerating, how much pedal am I giving it, am I under extreme load, am I shifting…all of the stuff that changes the pitch and the tone and the volume of air that’s creating the sound of the car. I want to take all those inputs that all exist on an electric car and I want to feed those into an algorithm, then I want to take that and I want to move air. I want to take a transducer, I want to move a plenum, just like I’d move a piston, and that piston then moves air inside a tube. That tube then feeds a chamber, that chamber has chambers inside it, and then a huge ass exhaust pipe out the back.
Now what happens is you hear 126 decibels out the back of the car. The spatial difference between outside the car and behind you at movement is like the first time you ever went in and heard surround sound.
You mentioned the algorithm…what is the electronic component?
We take all those inputs, then have to translate if that were movement of air inside a gas engine, what would it sound like? That would be the sound of a V-8, but I don’t want that. We want it to sound modern, fresh, different, new. The reason we call it a Banshee is if you think about the screaming shrill of a banshee, it’s almost like a jet engine, but yet it’s not. It’s wicked but yet it’s not, but it’s a badass sound. You couldn’t live with that all the time. That’s your wide open, screaming, I’m on the highway, I’m getting on it sound. But when you let off of that, or when you’re shifting, or it’s burbling, or anything like that, it comes back to a tone. And that tone is what we believe is the game changer. The bass track of this sound is literally the cadence of the firing order of a Hemi V-8. It doesn’t sound like a V-8, but when you hear it, you’re like something is making me comfortable, something makes me feel like I’m OK with this. Yet, it sounds modern, fresh, and really cool.
Explain the multi-speed transmission in the Charger Daytona Concept.
Multi-speed is an electromechanical system. We’re shifting it mechanically with gears and we’re shifting it electronically. If you think about what happens today in a Hellcat, you’re going to complete a shift, slip a clutch, change a drum, and go into a different gear ratio in 250 milliseconds. What stops me from doing that in an EV? Absolutely nothing.
I can instantaneously pull out torque for 250 milliseconds and add torque back in to give you a shift. Will it make your car faster? No. Will it make your car way more fun to drive? Hell yeah.
You’re not going to say how many speeds?
No. Not done with it yet. Funny thing about it is the engineers will be the first to tell you. A single-speed EV is by far the most efficient. It’s amazing technology. Using multi-speeds is not going to make the car faster.
It’s going to make it heavier too.
It’s going to make it heavier, and it’s adding cost, and it’s adding development. But it’s also going to add way more fun to the car.
Multi-speed also gives me the advantage of taking advantage of more traction. So let’s just say, theoretically, if I had…an option for some really big, really sticky tires, and I could really launch the car hard, then multi-speed would really be a benefit. Theoretically. I mean. It’s a concept after all.
Of course. Theoretically. You guys haven’t done anything like that before.
No. That would be irresponsible.
2023 Dodge Hornet
What is different about the Dodge Hornet chassis from the related Tonale?
We tuned the engine differently, we tuned the transmission differently, we tuned the suspension differently, we tuned the steering differently.
We wanted it to feel more like a Dodge. We have a shift character we like, we like a certain speed and firmness, we like a certain firmness of the steering, we have certain expectations for our suspension especially when we get to something like the GLH (concept). But one of the other important things is now that we have Direct Connection, everything that we do we’re looking at it with an eye towards future modifications.
When we started working on this car we knew we wanted to have Direct Connection for a GLH. I could have done a GLH through Direct Connection and say, hey you need these halfshafts, you need this, you need that. It would have been a fortune. Or it’s single dollars to put it in the base car and give you the option to go up from there. Which, by the way, is the same thing we’re doing with the Daytona. We’re planning it all from day one.
What is the advantage of the three-link rear suspension on the Hornet and how is it different than the Tonale’s?
Mechanically and hardware, same, (but) all of the tuning is different. If you haven’t been involved in that it’s easy to discard that but it makes a huge difference. I’ve been driving those cars since the initial mules and from where they are today from where we started…after a year we’re getting into a space we’re really happy with.
That design was driven by the fact that we went with a much wider track (in the base platform).
2023 Dodge Charger and Challenger Last Call
What are you gonna miss when the Challenger and Charger and Durango end production as we know them?
I’m excited for the challenge going forward. These cars are amazing. I can say that. I own one, I invested my personal money in one. They’re great cars. But they’re unsustainable in today’s market. I hate to say it, but it’s a fact. So, If they’re unsustainable, it would be very easy for us to say Dodge can’t make it, Dodge can’t exist, Dodge can’t be what Dodge is, therefore let’s take our toys and go home.
What’s exciting to me is to look at the future and go OK, just like any racer, gimme the rule book and let me find the gray areas that I can exploit to bring you something fun that is a true Dodge. This has happened many times in the industry…as soon as you give them the better mousetrap everything changes. You don’t go from 5% EV to 30% EV without a better mousetrap. The onus is on us. It’s on the infrastructure, the policy makers gotta bring the infrastructure. And the car manufacturers gotta give you something better than what you have. Otherwise it’ll never work.
Dodge Charger Daytona Concept
What are the key characteristics moving Dodge forward into this next generation of vehicles?
Think about where we were a decade ago. Our top of the line car was 425 hp. We were outgunned in the horsepower war. We were bigger, heavier, and we didn’t handle, and we were severely outgunned in horsepower. Did we get a new car? Nope. Did we make the car lighter? Nope. We just kept tweaking the car.
Half of my volume is Pentastars (V-6 engines; Kuniskis made clear that sales numbers don’t favor Hellcats.) You’re buying into something bigger than the purchase of a car. That’s why we say performance is an attitude. Whether your car is propelled by a PHEV, gas, or electric (powertrain), it doesn’t matter. If I can give you the attitude and personality of something bigger than that car, it will be fine. If I can’t do that, then I fail and it doesn’t work.

SEATTLE (AP) — One year after saying virtual life sentences are unconstitutional for teenage killers, the Washington Supreme Court changed course Thursday in a split ruling that drew irate dissents from four justices.
The 5-4 decision was a striking departure for a court that in recent years has steadily embraced research showing that juveniles' brain development typically makes them less culpable than adults, and which has made significant efforts to undo the impact of racial bias in the criminal justice system.
“The majority rewrites our jurisprudence to profoundly limit the protection we have found our state constitution gives to children,” Chief Justice Steven González wrote in his dissent.
The court upheld a 61-year sentence for Tonelli Anderson, a Black man who was 17 when he shot two women, killing one of them and blinding the other, during a drug robbery in Tukwila in 1994. An accomplice shot and killed a man in the same home.
In 2018 — in line with a long trend of federal and state criminal cases recognizing that children must be treated differently by the courts — Washington's justices held that it violated the state Constitution to sentence 16- or 17-year-olds to life in prison without parole. That ruling came in the case of Brian Bassett, a white man who killed his parents and brother when he was 16.
Last September, the court went further, striking down a 46-year sentence for Timothy Haag, a white man who was 17 when he drowned his 7-year-old neighbor in a bathtub.
The majority decision in that case — signed by six justices — held that such a long sentence for a juvenile is essentially a life sentence because it leaves the defendant without “a meaningful opportunity to rejoin society after leaving prison.” Therefore, the court said, it was unconstitutional.
Thursday's ruling abandoned that precedent, saying instead that such virtual life sentences for juveniles are barred by the state Constitution only if their crimes “reflect youthful immaturity, impetuosity, or failure to appreciate risks and consequences.”
Anderson's was not such a case, Justice Debra Stephens wrote for the majority.
He was not immediately arrested for the shootings, but went on to commit other crimes as a young adult, including assault and robbery, and he wrote letters to girlfriends bragging about the shootings. It wasn't until 1998, after someone tipped off investigators about the letters, that he was charged. He long failed to admit guilt or express remorse, Stephens noted.
Stephens dissented from the majority in Haag's case last year, saying she did not believe a 46-year sentence was necessarily unconstitutional for a juvenile. She framed her opinion Thursday as a clarification of that ruling.
The dissenting justices disagreed, calling it a rewriting of the Haag decision's clear prohibition on virtual life sentences for juveniles. It was nonsensical and troubling that the court would find a 46-year sentence for a white 17-year-old to be an unconstitutional “de facto” life sentence, while upholding a 61-year sentence for a Black 17-year-old, they said.
“Bassett and Haag are both white. Anderson is Black,” Justice Mary Yu wrote in her dissent. “Bassett and Haag were both recognized by this court as former juvenile offenders capable of redemption and rehabilitation, and they were ordered to be resentenced accordingly. Anderson has been denied any such recognition and resentencing, contrary to the law and the evidence.”
Yu wrote that she was not accusing the majority of intentional discrimination, but she added: “It would be willfully oblivious to conclude that race has played no role in the dramatically inconsistent treatment given to these three former juvenile offenders by our court system.”
González pointed out unrebutted evidence of Anderson's rehabilitation in prison, including his work as a machine operator in the license plate shop and other prison jobs, his good performance ratings, completing college courses, obtaining bookkeeping and accounting certifications, tutoring other offenders, and engaging in many other training and treatment programs. That suggests he deserved a new sentencing hearing, González wrote.
He also noted that the charges against Anderson were brought around the time of the “super-predator” myth of the 1990s — the debunked notion that some teens, mainly inner-city Black and brown offenders, were irredeemable, and which frequently played a role in lengthy sentences being given to minority offenders.
“It is disturbing that youthful white offenders who have appeared before the Supreme Court received relief that Mr. Anderson, who is Black, did not," his attorney, Travis Stearns, said in an email.
The King County Prosecutor's Office, which opposed granting Anderson a new sentence, urged the justices to overturn the decisions in Haag and Bassett, saying they were incorrectly decided. Anderson's youth did not play a significant role in his crimes, it argued.
Marsha Levick is the chief legal officer of the Philadelphia-based Juvenile Law Center, which has participated in juvenile-justice cases before the Washington Supreme Court and filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting Anderson's appeal.
“It's surprising from a court that has been so steady in its journey in assessing extreme sentencing,” Levick said. “They have stepped away from the path that they had been on.”
Justices Charles Johnson, Barbara Madsen, Susan Owens and Helen Whitener joined Stephens in the majority. Owens and Whitener were in the majority in the Haag case as well.
The dissenting justices were Yu, González, Sheryl Gordon McCloud and Raquel Montoya-Lewis.

Self-sterilising plastic kills viruses like Covid
By James Gallagher
Health and science correspondent
- Published
Scientists have developed a virus-killing plastic that could make it harder for bugs, including Covid, to spread in hospitals and care homes.
The team at Queen's University Belfast say their plastic film is cheap and could be fashioned into protective gear such as aprons.
It works by reacting with light to release chemicals that break the virus.
The study showed it could kill viruses by the million, even in tough species which linger on clothes and surfaces.
The research was accelerated as part of the UK's response to the Covid pandemic.
Studies had shown the Covid virus was able to survive for up to 72 hours on some surfaces, but that is nothing compared to sturdier species. Norovirus - known as the winter vomiting bug - can survive outside the body for two weeks while waiting for somebody new to infect.
The team of chemists and virologists investigated self-sterilising materials that reduce the risk of contaminated surfaces spreading infections.
The idea is to make a material so hostile to a virus that it cannot survive there. The metal copper has been shown to kill microbes on contact, but is not very flexible.
So the researchers used thin sheets of plastic that contained nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. These react with ultraviolet light - even the tiny amount released from a fluorescent bulb - to release molecules called reactive oxygen species.
These are just itching to get involved in any chemical reaction. They react with the virus's genetic material, the proteins it uses to invade our body and the fatty sphere that holds it all together. The end result is a dead and useless virus.
"This is the first time that anything like this has been developed," said Prof Andrew Mills, from the university's chemistry department.
He added: "This film could replace many of the disposable plastic films used in the healthcare industry as it has the added value of being self-sterilising at no real extra cost."
The material was tested in the laboratory against four types of virus - two influenzas, the Covid virus and a picornavirus, which has the traits that make a virus highly stable outside the body.
In controlled laboratory conditions, about one million virus particles were placed on the self-sterilising plastic. This is far beyond the amount of virus that would be needed to start an infection.
"It goes from one million viruses down to nothing, and we can see an effect in less than one hour and maximum death in two hours," said Dr Connor Bamford, from the school of medicine at Queen's.
"But we are adding a super-amount of virus to really challenge the system, it is likely there is an effect in the first few minutes."
He said current personal protective equipment used in hospitals did a good job, but "infections can take place when you take off or put on the PPE, so this can help".
Other areas being investigated include hospital tablecloths and curtains, as well as in the food processing industry.
However, it will take proper trials in the real world to work out how big a difference self-sterilising protective gear could make.
The study has been published in the journal of Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology.

‘Thomas and Friends’ introduces first autistic character
Published: Sep. 8, 2022 at 11:50 AM EDT|Updated: 9 hours ago
(CNN) - The children’s TV show “Thomas and Friends: All Engines Go” is introducing its first autistic character.
His name is Bruno, and Mattel describes him as a “joyful, pun-making brake car.”
Bruno will be voiced by 10-year-old Chuck Smith in the U.S. and 9-year-old Elliot Garcia in the U.K. Both are voice actors with autism.
More than 2% of adults in the U.S. have autism, according to a 2017 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The 26th season of “Thomas and Friends” starts later this month.

King Charles III has issued a statement commenting on the death of his mother the Queen, who has died at the age of 96.
The Queen’s eldest son, who will now formally be known as His Majesty the King, said the death of his mother marked a “moment of the greatest sadness”.
Here is his statement in full:
The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.
In a separate statement published at 6.30pm, Buckingham Palace said the Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
It said the King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
All the Queen’s children travelled to Balmoral, near Aberdeen, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision earlier on Thursday.
Liz Truss, who was appointed as the new Prime Minister by the Queen on Tuesday, said the monarch “provided us with the stability and strength that we needed” and the country would support the new King.
“We offer him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted so much, to so many, for so long,” she said.
“And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, exactly as Her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words ‘God save the King'”.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal grand jury is reportedly seeking information about Donald Trump's Save America leadership PAC as investigations into the former president continue to expand.
ABC News first reported Thursday that subpoenas issued in recent weeks have asked recipients about the political action committee's formation, its fundraising activities and its spending.
The Department of Justice and a Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trump is now the subject of numerous ongoing federal and state investigations, including several probing his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol building, his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and how thousands of government records, including documents with highly classified markings, ended up at his private Mar-a-Lago club.
Trump aggressively fundraised off the 2020 election, capitalizing on his supporters' anger about and refusal to accept his loss. During its hearings, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack said Trump’s fundraising machine had collected some $250 million from his campaigns to “Stop the Steal” and others in the aftermath of the election, mostly in small-dollar donations from Americans. One plea for cash went out 30 minutes before the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“Not only was there the big lie, there was the big ripoff,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said of the efforts.
No credible evidence has emerged to support Trump's claims that the election was marred by mass fraud. Numerous state and local elections officials, including Trump's own attorney general and judges he appointed, have also rejected such claims.
Trump's PAC — which he has used to pay for his post-presidential rallies, other travel, legal bills and even the portraits of him and the former first lady that will one day hang in the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery — has raised millions since its creation. It ended July with just under $100 million cash-on-hand, according to government filings.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara wore a blue NFC Pro Bowl hooded sweatshirt as he walked out of the locker room at team headquarters on Thursday.
It was at once a reminder of how important he remains to the Saints' offense, and the legal trouble that continues to loom over him.
Kamara, who was arrested in Las Vegas last February because of his alleged role in the beating of a casino patron during Pro Bowl weekend, spoke with media on Thursday for the first time since.
Kamara declined to speak about his case — in which he is charged with felony battery — other than when he said it is not distracting him from his commitments to his team, and won't prevent him from joining the Saints in London for a game against Minnesota on Oct. 2.
But Kamara welcomed questions about his recent good health and what he views as improved prospects for the Saints offense now that quarterback Jameis Winston is back from a major injury last year, that the offensive line is healthy and that the receiver corps has been revamped.
“I’m definitely healthy,” said Kamara, who had 1,337 yards and nine touchdowns from scrimmage last season as both a runner and receiver, despite missing four games because of a knee injury. “I might have gotten faster. I don’t know. I feel explosive. I feel good.”
Kamara's health is but one reason he's optimistic about this season, which for the Saints opens on Sunday at Atlanta.
The Saints offense was beset by injuries to key players last season at skill positions and along the offensive line. Quarterback Jameis Winston missed more than half of last season with a left knee injury. Top receiver Michael Thomas missed the whole season because of complications from ankle surgery. Right tackle Ryan Ramczyk, left tackle Terron Armstead, guard Andrus Peat and center Eric McCoy also struggled with injuries.
The Saints, who'd annually been among the NFL's passing leaders for most of the 15 seasons Drew Brees played quarterback (2006-20), dropped to the bottom of the league in yards passing per game.
That allowed defenses to focus more attention on stopping Kamara, who was playing hurt.
If the Saints have better fortune with injuries this season, that won't be the case, “and we all know it, so everybody's ready,” Kamara said.
“I feel like I was sometimes on an island a little bit as far as the focus” of opposing defenses last season, Kamara said. “For a defense, it’s a little bit easier to just, I guess, hone in on one to two guys rather than four or five guys."
This season, Saints opponents will once again have to defend Thomas, who in 2019 set an NFL record for catches in a season with 149. They'll also have cover receiver Jarvis Landry, acquired in free agency, and receiver Chris Olave, a first-round draft choice.
“This is what we're used to seeing: Just high-powered play makers," Kamara said. “I'm excited because we're all healthy and we're all ready and everybody's just itching to get back on the field together.
"I'm as focused as ever this year because I feel we have the pieces that we need,” he added.
It's not clear if Kamara's legal trouble will affect the Saints this season. His case has been delayed more than once and now might not resolve until next year. Generally, the NFL waits for the legal process to play out before handing down discipline.
Regardless, Kamara's teammates named him one of the Saints' captains for the first time this season, another nod to how what a prominent player he has become since his offensive rookie of the year campaign in 2017.
“Just to get the title and get that C on my jersey is definitely meaningful,” Kamara said, adding that several Saints veterans have told him they viewed him as a leader even before this season, even though he is not the most outspoken player in the locker room.
“They know I’m not the most vocal dude. I talk when it’s necessary,” Kamara said. “We set a certain standard in this locker room, on this on this team over the years, especially since I’ve been here. So, when I feel like that level of, I guess, competitiveness or grind kind of drops a little bit, that’s when I get to say and give my two cents.”
Notes: The Saints signed guard Wyatt Davis from the New York Giants practice squad and waived OL Tanner Owen.

T-Pain, Flo Milli to headline Juice Jam 2022
University Union
University Union announced the artist lineup for Juice Jam 2022 on Thursday— T-Pain and Flo Milli will headline the concert, supported by Yung Gravy and Doechii, UU said in a press release. The concert will be hosted by UU and held on September 18.
Tallahassee-born singer T-Pain has been redefining pop, hip-hop and R&B since entering the music scene in 2004. The artist has billions of streams worldwide and received six total GRAMMY awards across his massive career.
Best known for her lyrics on female empowerment and unwavering confidence, 22-year-old Alabama born rapper Flo Milli first took the internet by storm in 2018 with her track, “Beef FloMix.” In the following year, her song “In The Party” gained significant popularity and has been streamed nearly 200 million times to date.
Yung Gravy, the 23-year-old “Minnesotan disruptor” and MC for Juice Jam 2022, rose to success through his 2018 “Snow Cougar” EP, featuring hits “Mr. Clean” and “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot.”
Tampa artist Doechii released her first song, “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” in 2020, and has since established herself as a confident disrupter making waves in hip hop, although her sound doesn’t fit into one genre. Doechii announced this year that she will join forces with Top Dawg Entertainment, the label behind American rapper Kendrick Lamar.
Tickets for Juice Jam are $25 and will go on sale September 12 at noon, and will be able to be purchased through a Student MyCuse account. A valid SU or SUNY ESF ID will be needed to purchase tickets, and only one ticket will be sold per student.
Students will need to pick up a physical copy of their ticket at the JMA Wireless Dome’s Gate E Box Office. The Dome’s bag policy will be in effect at Skytop Field.
To request accommodations, contact UU Vice President Ashley Bruce at [email protected].

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is set to announce a pitch clock and limits on defensive shifts next season in an effort to shorten games and increase offense.
The sport’s 11-man competition committee is set to adopt the rules changes Friday, mandating a clock that will count down 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The MLB clock will be slightly longer than the version experimented with in the minor leagues this season: 14 seconds with the bases empty and 19 seconds with runners on at Triple-A, and 14/18 at lower levels.
“It’s something that takes a while to get used to, but I think overall the impact it had on the pace of the game was good,” said the Yankees’ Matt Carpenter, who spent April at Triple-A with Round Rock.
The shift limit will require four players other than the pitcher and the catcher to be in front of the outfield grass when a pitch is thrown, including two of the four on either side of second base,
In addition, there will be a limit during each plate appearance of two pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber, what MLB calls disengagements. If a third attempt is made and is unsuccessful, a balk would be called. The limit would be reset to two during a plate appearance if a runner advances.
Size of bases will increase to 18-inch squares from 15, promoting safety — first basemen are less likely to get stepped on — but also boosting stolen bases and offense with a slightly decreased distance.
The plans, first reported by The Athletic, were detailed by a pair of baseball officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the changes were not scheduled to be announced until Friday.
The changes will be start during spring training.
A catcher will be required to be in the catcher’s box with nine seconds left on the clock and a hitter in the batter’s box and focused on the pitcher with eight seconds remaining. Penalties for violations will be a ball called against a pitcher and a strike called against a batter.
Time between half-innings will set at 2:15 for most regular-season games, 2:40 for nationally televised games and 3:10 for postseason games. The clock will be 30 seconds between batters.
A batter can ask an umpire for time once per plate appearance, and after that it would be granted only at umpire’s discretion if request is made while in box.
The clock has reduced the average time of a nine-inning game in the minor leagues from 3:04 in 2021 to 2:38 this season. The average time of a nine-inning game in the major leagues this year is 3:06 — it was 2:46 in 1989, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
“It’s slow. It’s boring,” Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia said of a TV broadcast in 2017. “Man, it’s so hard to watch if you have no interest in it.”
Shifts have been limited all season at Double-A and Class A, where teams are required to have four players on the infield, including two on each side of second base.
Use of shifts has exploded in the past decade, from 2,357 times on balls hit in play in 2011 to 28,130 in 2016 and 59,063 last year, according to Sports Info Solutions. Shifts were on pace for 71,000 this year, according to midseason data.
The big league batting average of .243 this year in on track to be the lowest since 1967, two years before the pitcher's mound was lowered from 15 inches to 10.
Players had long resisted a clock at the major league level. Management gained the right in March's lockout settlement to establish the 11-person committee, which includes six management representatives, four players and one umpire.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says his country will never abandon the nuclear weapons and missiles it needs to counter the United States, which he accused of pushing a pressure campaign to weaken the North’s defenses and eventually collapse his government.
State media said Friday that Kim made the comments during a speech at North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament on Thursday where members also passed a law that authorized North Korea’s military to “automatically” execute nuclear strikes against enemy forces if its leadership comes under attack.
He also criticized rival South Korea over its plans to expand its conventional strike capabilities and revive large-scale military exercises with the United States to counter the North’s growing threats, describing them as a “dangerous” military action that raises tensions.
Kim has made increasingly provocative threats of nuclear conflict toward the United States and its allies in Asia in recent months, also warning that the North would proactively use its nuclear weapons when threatened. His latest comments underscored the growing animosity in the region as he accelerates the expansion of his nuclear weapons and missiles program.
Kim also addressed domestic issues in his speech, saying North Korea would begin its long-delayed rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in November. He didn’t specify how many doses it would have, where they would come from, or how they would be administered across his population of 26 million people.
GAVI, the nonprofit that runs the U.N.-backed COVAX distribution program, said in June it understood North Korea had accepted an offer of vaccines from China. GAVI said at the time the specifics of the offer were unclear.
Kim’s speech came a day after South Korea extended its latest olive branch, proposing a meeting with North Korea to resume temporary reunions of aging relatives separated by the 1950-53 Korean War, which were last held in 2018.
Experts say it’s highly unlikely North Korea would accept the South’s offer considering the stark deterioration in inter-Korean ties amid the stalemate in larger nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang. The U.S.-North Korean diplomacy derailed in 2019 over disagreements in exchanging the release of crippling sanctions against the North and the North’s denuclearization steps.
The U.S.-led diplomatic push to defuse the nuclear standoff has been further complicated by an intensifying U.S.-China rivalry and Russia’s war on Ukraine, which deepened the divide in the U.N. Security Council, where Beijing and Moscow have blocked U.S. efforts to tighten sanctions on Pyongyang over its revived long-range missile tests this year.
Kim has dialed up weapons tests to a record pace in 2020, launching more than 30 ballistic weapons, including the first demonstrations of his intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017.
U.S. and South Korean officials say Kim may up the ante soon by ordering the North’s first nuclear test in five years as he pushes a brinkmanship aimed at forcing Washington to accept the idea of the North as a nuclear power and negotiating concessions from a position of strength.
Experts say Kim is also trying to strengthen his leverage by strengthening his cooperation with China and Russia in an emerging partnership aimed at undercutting U.S. influence.
U.S. officials said this week the Russians are in the process of purchasing North Korean ammunition, including artillery shells and rockets, to ease their supply shortages in the war against Ukraine.
North Korea also has joined Russia and Syria as the only nations to recognize the independence of two pro-Russia breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine and has discussed send its construction workers to those regions to work on rebuilding.

Bay Area joins in mourning of Queen Elizabeth II
San Francisco - About 5,000 miles separate San Francisco and Balmoral, Scotland where Queen Elizabeth II died. But the memories of her visit to the San Francisco Bay Area nearly 40 years ago means many are feeling her loss today.
The year was 1983, Ronald Reagan was president of the United States, and the city of San Francisco played host to Queen Elizabeth II.
"We are very grateful for your charming hospitality and for the generous reception we have had everywhere since our arrival in California last week," said Elizabeth in her remarks in San Francisco.
The queen visited San Francisco as part of a whirlwind week and a half visit to California in February and March of that year. The queen dining at a state dinner at the old de Young museum, even commenting on the similarities between two notoriously foggy cities, London and San Francisco.
"I knew before we came we had exported many of our traditions to the United States," said Elizabeth. "But, I had not realized before that weather was one of them."
On that same visit, the queen took in the majesty of Yosemite National Park, and had a profound impact on Willie Brown who says the queen struck him as grounded and intellectually curious, asking questions about his role as the then-speaker of the Assembly.
"She asked all those questions as if she was a student in a class involving state politics," said Brown.
Earlier in that trip, Her Majesty was serenaded by none other than Perry Como and Frank Sinatra.
On another visit in 1991, the queen even attended a baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A's, greeting players and coaches in the dugout, and waving to the crowd.
Those visits and the ties they cemented between the queen and the San Francisco Bay Area are part of the reason Grace Cathedral's bells tolled 96 times at noon today.
"We rang the bells, we tolled the bells for each year of Queen Elizabeth's life," said Dean Malcolm Young. "She's an incredibly important person in the lives of the people in our community."
The church says the queen's role as the head of the Church of England means there are deep ties to her majesty and the Episcopal Church.
"Her sense of duty, her sense of commitment, her measures sense of good judgment," said Young. "I think that all of us want to do whatever it is we do in the best possible way and I think she really modeled that for all people around the world."
Staff at the British consulate in San Francisco say they are in the process of working out a way for people here to pay their respects to the queen at their headquarters in the Financial District.
Grace Cathedral says it will open its doors and live stream the service when the queen is laid to rest.

The Handmaid's Tale officially has an end date. Ahead of the season 5 premiere of the Hulu series, the streaming service announced on Thursday that it has renewed the Margaret Atwood adaptation for a sixth and final season.
"It has been a true honor to tell the story of Margaret Atwood’s groundbreaking novel and chillingly relevant world, and we are thrilled to bring viewers a sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale," Bruce Miller, creator, showrunner and executive producer, said in a press release. "We are grateful to Hulu and MGM for allowing us to tell this story, which unfortunately has remained as relevant as ever throughout its run, and are in awe of our incredible fans for their unwavering support, and without whom we never would have gotten to this point."
The show, which stars Elisabeth Moss, has won 15 Emmy Awards since its 2017 debut.
"Five years ago, almost to the day, The Handmaid’s Tale made history when it became the first show to win an Emmy for a streaming service," Craig Erwich, President, ABC Entertainment, Hulu & Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals, said. "In the time since, it has been a privilege and pleasure to work with some of the finest creative talent in our industry on this show -- a distinct and exceptional group of people who continue to produce the highest quality television that has made and continues to make significant cultural impact. Bruce, Warren, Lizzie and the entire team at MGM have been amazing partners, and we hope fans enjoy these last two seasons."
The first teaser for season 5 was released in July, followed by the full-length trailer the next month.
Per the season's official logline, season 5 will see June (Moss) face consequences for killing Commander Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) while struggling to redefine her identity and purpose. She'll also be busy working with Luke (O-T Fagbenle) and Moira (Samira Wiley) to fight Gilead from a distance as they continue their mission to save and reunite with Hannah.
Meanwhile, a widowed Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) will attempt to raise her profile in Toronto as Gilead’s influence creeps into Canada. Elsewhere, Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) will work with Nick (Max Minghella) and Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) as he tries to reform Gilead and rise in power.
Alexis Bledel will not return as Emily, following her May announcement that she was exiting the series ahead of season 5.
The cast broke down the season 4 finale in an interview with ET, teasing what's to come when the show picks back up.
"When she does this, I think there’s an incredible release for her," Moss told ET of her character killing Commander Waterford. "But I think at the same time, there’s this feeling of, 'What am I going to do next? Where do I go now?'"
June's choice to get revenge, Fiennes warned, could mean trouble ahead for her. "If you seek to extinguish the thing that troubles you most and you want revenge for at least some sense of justice, there’s the danger that you might become the thing that you destroyed," he said.
Season 5 of The Handmaid's Tale will premiere with two episodes on Hulu Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Scot Gemmill backs Leon King to hit heights after Europe bow
Scot Gemmill, the Scotland Under-21 manager, believes Leon King’s Champions League debut proves he will have a big future at Rangers.
The young Scots will play Northern Ireland in a double-header friendly in Belfast and Paisley on September 22 and 25 and Gemmill named 11 new call-ups in the latest cycle of youngsters.
The most eye-catching of the new kids are Liverpool’s ex-Celtic talent Ben Doak and Aston Villa’s former Rangers striker Rory Wilson, who have both jumped straight from the under-17 to the under-21. But it is not often that a Scotland Under-21 squad has a player with Champions League experience — after King played the second half of Rangers’ 4-0 defeat by Ajax — and a Serie A goalscorer, with Josh Doig fresh

NEW YORK (AP) — A key decision over whether Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social will merge with a cash-rich company and get $1.3 billion to take on Twitter has been put off for another month.
The potential partner, Digital World Acquisition Corp., on Thursday postponed a shareholder vote to extend by a year a deadline to close its merger with Trump’s company and release funds to pay its bills. At least 65% of shareholders need to approve the extension, a threshold not reached in tallies earlier in the day.
Shares of Miami-based Digital World, which have been generally falling after small-pocketed investors pushed them over $100 last year, closed Thursday up 1% to $23.35.
If a new deal deadline isn't approved at a shareholder meeting on Oct. 10, Digital World can still play for time. It can delay the deadline by three months if sponsors backing its company pay nearly $3 million into a trust account, then delay again for another three months for the same payment. The company has said previously it would chose to delay three months if necessary.
If the deal is not closed by the new deadlines, Digital World must liquidate and Truth Social's parent, Trump Media & Technology Group, will have to find other sources of cash. It could do that by borrowing, finding private investors, or having Trump himself contribute the money, something he has avoided in many of his business ventures but has hinted he might do.
“I don’t need financing, ‘I’m really rich,'" Trump posted on Truth Social earlier this month. “Private company anyone???”
Digital World's deal with Trump's company was troubled almost from the start. In November, the Securities and Exchange Commission requested documents from Digital World following news reports that it had talked with Trump representatives about joining forces before selling its own stock to the public for the first time, a possible violation of security rules.
Digital World and Trump's business have also been subpoenaed in a federal criminal probe. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is looking into violations of stock trading rules, too.
The SEC probe in particular is a serious setback for the company because the agency needs to sign off on the Digital World-Trump merger for it to go through. Trump has called the investigations politically motivated “witch hunts."
A merger would release to Trump Media $290 million held by Digital World and another $1 billion that private investors had committed to the combined company. Until then, Trump's company is on its own, paying staff, leases and other expenses from $36 million raised from sales of promissory notes last year and earlier this year.
Truth Social was launched as a free speech, “big tent” alternative to Twitter after Trump was banned by the platform following last year's Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Trump rarely posted on the app in the weeks after it was launched in February, but now is regularly sending his version of tweets — called truths — to rally supporters following the FBI seizure of confidential government documents at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida last month.
In the proposed merger, Trump is hoping to cash in on a recent investing trend involving risky shell companies called special purchase acquisition companies, or SPACs, that have no product or service to sell and are set up solely to merge with a business with one.
Once wildly popular, stocks of many highflying SPACs have plunged in price and many others have been liquidated without completing mergers. SPACs, also called blank-check companies, are allowed a quick path to go public without many disclosures but only if they have not yet had substantial discussion with a possible merger partner, a possible focus of the Digital World investigations.
“The SEC has needlessly delayed its review of our proposed merger, causing real and unnecessary financial harm" to investors, said Trump Media in a statement. "The SEC needs to set aside any improper political considerations and bring its review to a swift conclusion.”

‘Red Hot Mama’ coming to North Coast Rep
North Coast rep will present “Red Hot Mama” Sept. 19-20 at 7:30 p.m. The event stars Tony nominee and Theatre World winner Sharon McNight.
Currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, the award-winning show Red Hot Mama was conceived and written by Sharon McNight based on the writings and music of Sophie Tucker. Tucker introduced many songs that are still being sung today, including: Gershwin’s “The Man I Love”, “He’s A Good Man to Have Around;” “After You’ve Gone;” A Good Man is Hard to Find” and her ever popular theme song, “Some of These Days.” Sophie’s classic sense of humor was considered ribald for its time and while many of her songs were slightly naughty, by today’s standards they’re simply great fun. She earned the nickname, “Red Hot Mama” when headlining at the world famous Palace Theater and a fire erupted. Undeterred, Tucker remained onstage performing as the audience safely exited.

Dear Annie: I am a 44-year-old single male who has been struggling with the dating scene. I only started dating in the last 15 years. Though I have met a lot of great people during that time, it seems as if being a gentleman, opening doors, trying to build a relationship, sending good morning/goodnight texts, and having great dates with laughter and a little flirting have scared women away, especially in the last few years.
I'm at a loss of what to do. Having never been married or had kids has maybe freaked women out? I don't know what it is. I believe I am doing all the right things, and yet I am not getting anywhere.
I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I will be single for the rest of my life. I'm exhausted in terms of trying to find my life partner. Is there any way to be single without feeling lonely all the time? Or feeling jealous of those who are in happy relationships? -- Sadly Single
Dear Sadly Single: I'm sorry that you've had such a rough go of it. Sometimes, the secret to finding something is to stop looking. When you're so committed to finding a life partner, you might be putting undue pressure on every woman you meet.
Instead, try taking a class or joining a local club or sports team, and then focus on simply becoming friends with the women that you meet. When you get rid of the pressure to find "the one," you'll loosen up and have better odds of connecting.
It's also a good idea to find a therapist who can help you overcome some of your dating struggles and cope with your feelings of loneliness. Good luck!
Dear Annie: I'm having issues with some things my mother-in-law has said to me. First, here's some background information:
In January 2015, I found my husband of many years dead on the floor of our home after suffering a heart attack. I am a nurse and began CPR immediately to try to save him. I was unsuccessful. As a nurse, I know and understand what happened was something I wouldn't have been able to save him from. However, it was a very traumatic experience. I was a widow before the age of 50.
Fast forward, I met and married a wonderful man, and we love each other dearly. I thank God for him every day and know he was sent to me.
I have treated his parents like my own. Since I am a nurse, I have helped with their medical issues. I plan, purchase and prepare a dinner every Sunday after church and send leftovers home with them.
His mother started making horrible comments toward me. First, she told me that I have a large chest and bottom. I responded with yes, I do, but your son enjoys them equally and frequently. If you have a problem, talk to him. She has accused me of murdering my former husband and of trying to put her in a home so I can steal her money. She refuses to believe she has done anything wrong and refuses to apologize. Lastly, she tells her son and others she doesn't know why I don't like her.
I have tried to talk to her and have written a letter to her explaining exactly why I will not have anything to do with her because of the horrible things she has said to me. I need help with this monster-in-law. -- Eaten Alive
Dear Eaten Alive: It sounds like you've already tried all the logical, considerate ways of breaking bread with this woman to no avail. Has your husband tried speaking with her? I'd think he's equally unhappy and embarrassed with how his mother has treated you that a word from him would go a long way. It's also not at all unreasonable to want him to defend you to his family after you've done nothing but care for them as if they were your own.
For now, continue to focus on and nurture a relationship you have control over -- your marriage to your husband. Though her concerns are completely unfounded, give his mother the time and space to come around. I hope she finds it in her heart to accept you with open arms and release the reservations about your past that she's holding onto.
Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS)– September is Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness and share information about obesity prevention. The Southern Nevada Health District’s Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion shares some tips and simple guidelines to help children develop healthy habits.
In Clark County, about 13% of high school students are obese and 15.9% are overweight. In Nevada, 32.2% of children entering kindergarten are already overweight or obese.
The SNHD is using this month to promote the American Academy of Pediatrics’ 5-2-1-0 evidence-based recommendation to provide a simple guideline to help children develop healthy habits.
The 5-2-1-0 guidelines include the following:
- 5 fruits and vegetables each day
- 2 hours or less of screen time each day
- 1 hour of physical activity each day
- 0 sugary beverages each day
“We know that children who are obese are more likely to be diagnosed with related chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, and they are also more likely be obese as adults,” said Dr. Fermin Leguen, District Health Officer for the Health District. “Promoting recommendations such as the 5-2-1-0 guidelines and providing the supporting resources to the community are central to our mission as the public health agency charged with protecting and promoting the health and well-being of Southern Nevada residents.”
According to the SNHD, racial and ethnic disparities in obesity highlight the need to address social determinants of health including poverty, education, and housing to remove health barriers.
Among Hispanic children, obesity prevalence is 25.6%, among non-Hispanic black children it is 24.2%, among non-Hispanic white children it is 16.1%, and among non-Hispanic Asian children it is 8.7%.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 19.3% or 14.4 million children in the U.S. are considered obese.
The SNHD provides free programs and resources to assist families in adopting healthier lifestyles. To find these programs, click here.

Two people were shot in Uvalde’s Memorial Park on Thursday, police in the Texas city said.
Officer Jessica Zamora told CNN that the shooting happened at about 5:30 p.m. CT, but they did not yet have details on the conditions of the victims nor their identities. An investigation is underway.
Uvalde mayor Don McLaughlin told CNN that the shooting is believed to be “gang-related.”
The shooting comes just days after the new school year began and in the wake of the deadliest school shooting in the United States since the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.
Memorial Park is near the Uvalde town square, where a makeshift memorial was established to honor those lost in the Robb Elementary shooting in May.
Celeste Ibarra told CNN she was at the park with her daughter, Aubriella, who has PTSD and depression from the Robb shooting, where she was a third grader on the day 19 of her schoolmates and two teachers were shot and killed.
The Ibarras were at the park Thursday with other family members on what was a beautiful day, where a couple dozen children were playing and people were picnicking, she said. As her family was loading their car to leave, gunfire broke out between the slides and basketball courts.
“A lot of kids were ducking and diving again,” Ibarra said. “It was horrible.”
State troopers responded quickly to the park and escorted people out, she added.
Ibarra said she didn’t see anyone hit by the bullets. Gang activity is highly unusual in Uvalde, she told CNN.
Authorities say they are in the early stages of their investigation.
“We are working with the Uvalde Police Department and Sheriff’s Office following a suspected gang related shooting at Memorial Park,” the Texas Department of Public Safety tweeted. “This information is preliminary, as the situation develops we will work with local law enforcement to provide updates.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Ons Jabeur reached a second consecutive Grand Slam title match without needing to produce her best tennis Thursday night, taking full advantage of a shaky showing by Caroline Garcia to win their U.S. Open semifinal 6-1, 6-3.
The No. 5-seeded Jabeur, a 28-year-old from Tunisia, was the runner-up at Wimbledon in July and now will be the first African woman to participate in a final at the U.S. Open in the professional era, which dates to 1968.
Jabeur will try to collect her first major championship on Saturday when she meets the winner of the semifinal between No. 1 Iga Swiatek of Poland and No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus.
None of the last four players in the women's bracket has ever made it to the final in New York.
The same goes for the men's semifinalists who will play Friday: No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain vs. No. 22 Frances Tiafoe of the United States, and No. 5 Casper Ruud of Norway vs. No. 27 Karen Khachanov of Russia.
Jabeur improved to 6-0 in semifinals this season and earned her tour-leading 92nd victory in all since the start of 2021. No. 91 came in the quarterfinals this week, when she defeated Ajla Tomljanovic, who eliminated Serena Williams in the third round.
On this 75-degree evening under the lights in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Jabeur was not required to be at her best, but she was still rather good.

Ons Jabeur produced a masterclass to outplay Caroline Garcia and win in straight sets, 6-1 6-3, to reach the final of the US Open.
Jabeur did not take long to storm into a commanding lead as she took the opening set in just 23 minutes.

There was a stark contrast in the pair's serving as Jabeur won 90 per cent of the points on her first serve compared to Garcia's 47 per cent, while the French player also committed 14 unforced errors in the opening set alone.

‘It feels amazing’ – Jabeur ‘relieved’ to reach final after beating Garcia
The fifth seed was utterly relentless in taking the first set, and Garcia continued to struggle at the start of the second. Jabeur, meanwhile, was both precise and ruthless.
The fired-up Tunisian capitalised in impressive fashion as Garcia floundered on serve again at 2-1 in the second set, and the crucial break arrived in style.
Jabeur could hardly have been more dominant on serve, and Garcia was not even able to get into the points at all through entire games.
Garcia produced a fleeting resistance at 3-1 down on the Jabeur serve, setting up a break point, but the 17th seed could not take advantage when it mattered.
The expectant crowd inside Arthur Ashe Stadium implored Garcia to produce a fightback when she was still down a break, but despite her best efforts, it never came.

When presented with the opportunity to serve out to reach her second Grand Slam final, Jabeur did so with aplomb to complete a fabulous performance on the biggest stage.

The 28-year-old took just an hour and six minutes to close out the comprehensive victory and was composed and poised throughout in reaching another major final.
“It feels amazing,” Jabeur said in her on-court interview after the match. “After Wimbledon there was a lot pressure on me.
“I’m really relieved that I can back up my results. The hard-court season started a little bit bad but now I’m very happy that I made the finals here.”
She will now await the winner of the second semi-final between sixth seed Aryna Sabalenka and world No. 1 Iga Swiatek as she looks to go one better and secure her maiden Grand Slam title.
“First of all, I hope they play four-five hours, Iga and Aryna!” she joked.
“Both are really good players. In the final it’s not about tennis, you just have to play and win the final. I’m very glad I have an amazing team behind me.”

2 workers killed in Union Pacific train crash in California
CALIPATRIA, Calif. (AP) — Two Union Pacific operators were killed when their freight train crashed into parked rail cars and derailed early Thursday in Southern California, officials said.
The freight train had been traveling through the desert near the Salton Sea when it pulled off the main railroad around 3 a.m., said Susan Stevens, a spokesperson for Union Pacific.
As the freight train pulled onto a siding — an alternate railway typically used for trains to pull over to allow oncoming traffic to go by — it hit several parked rail cars, Stevens told the Los Angeles Times.
Seven cars derailed and both operators were ejected from the train and died at the scene, the Times reported.
First responders with the city of Calipatria told the newspaper they arrived to find the derailed locomotive and the wreckage of the four parked rail cars it had plowed through.
The Imperial County coroner’s office identified the two workers only as adult males, as officials worked to notify their next of kin.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to investigate the crash.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal grand jury is reportedly seeking information about Donald Trump’s Save America leadership PAC as investigations into the former president continue to expand.
ABC News first reported Thursday that subpoenas issued in recent weeks have asked recipients about the political action committee’s formation, its fundraising activities and its spending.
The Department of Justice declined to comment. A Trump spokesman did not respond to requests.
Trump is now the subject of numerous ongoing federal and state investigations, including several probing his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol building, his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and how thousands of government records, including documents with highly classified markings, ended up at his private Mar-a-Lago club.
Trump aggressively fundraised off the 2020 election, capitalizing on his supporters’ anger about and refusal to accept his loss. During its hearings, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack said Trump’s fundraising machine had collected some $250 million from his campaigns to “Stop the Steal” and others in the aftermath of the election, mostly in small-dollar donations from Americans. One plea for cash went out 30 minutes before the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“Not only was there the big lie, there was the big ripoff,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said of the efforts.
No credible evidence has emerged to support Trump’s claims that the election was marred by mass fraud. Numerous state and local elections officials, including Trump’s own attorney general and judges he appointed, have also rejected such claims.
Trump’s PAC — which he has used to pay for his post-presidential rallies, other travel, legal bills and even the portraits of him and the former first lady that will one day hang in the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery — has raised millions since its creation. It ended July with just under $100 million cash-on-hand, according to government filings.

Jacinda Ardern has expressed her country's condolences to the 'extraordinary' Queen Elizabeth II as she shares a touching story between the pair, which she says encapsulated who she was as a leader.
Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96, ending the longest reign of any British monarch with Charles, the former Prince of Wales, is now King Charles III.
Ms Ardern said she was woken by 'a police officer shining a torch into my room' to be told the news the longest serving British monarch had passed.
Speaking in Wellington alongside a framed picture of Her Majesty shortly after, the prime minister said New Zealand was experiencing 'a time of deep sadness'.
'I know I speak for all New Zealanders in conveying our deepest sympathy to members of the Royal family and condolences to King Charles III at this time of enormous loss,' she said.
Jacinda Ardern has expressed her countries condolences to the 'extraordinary' Queen Elizabeth II as she shares a touching story between the pair where she was gifted a picture of her laughing and recalled to the PM exactly what made her laugh decades later
'A chapter is closing today. With that, we remember an incredible woman that we were lucky to call our Queen.
'She was extraordinary.
'She was a woman who worked into her 90s.
'The last days of the Queen's life captures who she was in so many ways, working to the very end on behalf of the people she loved.'
Ms Ardern recalled her first meeting with the Queen, when she gifted a picture of Her Majesty laughing on an early visit to New Zealand, decades ago.
'Not only did she remember the visit, she could remember what was making her laugh,' she said.
'That speaks to me of someone who gave a life of service but who also enjoyed the role that she played a difficult I'm sure as it was.'
New Zealand's official mourning will continue until a State Memorial Service, held after the Queen's funeral, which is expected in around ten days' time.
Flags will be flown at half-mast until the funeral, except on Proclamation Day, when King Charles III is officially announced as the new King.
New Zealand's official mourning will continue until a State Memorial Service, held after the Queen's funeral which is expected in around 10 days time. Flags will be flown at half-mast until the funeral, except on Proclamation Day, when King Charles III is officially announced as the new King
Kiwis will be invited to sign condolence books at parliament and the National Library, and offered sites to leave flowers.
New Zealanders are supportive of the monarchy with the most recent substantive poll on the a potential separation from the Commonwealth last November on the occassion of the Queen's death showing 50 per cent opposed compared to 44 per cent in favour.
Ms Ardern has said she has 'never sensed urgency' from Kiwis to move to a republic.
New Zealand's most popular broadcaster Mike Hosking cried on air, saying 'I don't know that I can do this, just give me a couple of minutes'.
Opposition leader Chris Luxon also paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth's 'unflinching dignity, compassion, and selflessness'.
'The strength and stability of Her Majesty's leadership of the Commonwealth was a reassuring anchor for New Zealand and New Zealanders in uncertain and changing times,' he said.
Queen Elizabeth II visited New Zealand 10 times, last travelling to the country in 2002.

Manchester United got off to a losing start in the Europa League as Real Sociedad held on for a 1-0 win to beat them in Group E action on Thursday night at Old Trafford.
A moment’s silence was held prior to kick-off to pay respect to Queen Elizabeth II, who died yesterday afternoon at the age of 96, with UEFA saying in a statement ahead of the match: “UEFA and European football are truly saddened by the passing away of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, one of the world’s most-respected figures.”
Cristiano Ronaldo, picked as a starter by Erik ten Hag for the first time since United’s 4-0 loss to Brentford on August 13, looked to have headed the hosts in front in the 36th minute, but his goal was ruled out for offside.
There was action at both ends of the field, but no goals and the first half ended scoreless, with Ten Hag bringing on Bruno Fernandes for Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez in place of Diogo Dalot at the break.
Sociedad were handed a controversial penalty shortly before the hour when a David Silva shot glanced off Martinez’s leg and onto his arm and the referee pointed to the spot. The call for hand ball stood and Brais Mendez beat David De Gea to make it 1-0 to the visitors.
Ten Hag again turned to his bench in search of an equaliser, this time bringing on Jadon Sancho, who scored in United’s 3-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday, to replace summer signing Antony on 70 minutes. La Real saw out the match to top Group E, while Man United sit in third behind Sheriff Tiraspol, who beat Omonia in their opener.
Sociedad players and their travelling support celebrated wildly at the final whistle as Imanol Alguacil’s side secured a first-ever away win against English opposition in European competition.

Trump's fundraising group under US govt investigation: Report
By IANS | Published: September 9, 2022 06:21 AM 2022-09-09T06:21:03+5:30 2022-09-09T07:05:08+5:30

Washington, Sep 9 A US federal grand jury is investigating former President Donald Trump's Save America fundraising group, a media report said, citing subpoenas.
The Times reported that the leadership of the political action committee received subpoenas, as the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) looks into the group's spending, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the New York Times.
Mid- and low-level aids who had been employed in the White House during Trump's presidency were subpoenaed earlier this week.
Trump's office did not respond immediately to requests for any comment on the matter.
The former president founded 'Save America' just days after the 2020 elections, in which Trump was defeated by Joe Biden.
The political action group has since collected more than $100 million.
The investigation comes just a month after Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Earlier, a federal judge in Florida ordered a so-called "special master" to be appointed, in order to examine over 11,000 documents taken from Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.
The search and seizure were part of a DOJ investigation into whether the former president illegally retained documents on national defense at Mar-a-Lago, and whether he obstructed government moves to get hold of the documents.
Taking to social media, Trump said the FBI raid had turned the US into a "banana republic", rather than a rule-of-law nation.
The FBI claimed it had "probable cause" that warranted a raid, as the bureau believed it would find "evidence of obstruction" a crime in the US at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

NBA
Shaquille O’Neal doubles down on why he thinks Stephen Curry is the ‘best player in the world’
Shaquille O’Neal knows what it’s like to be truly one of one. The four-time NBA champion has famously called himself and Wilt Chamberlain the two “most dominant” players of all time, but even his fellow Los Angeles Lakers great wasn’t quite the singular on-court presence O’Neal was during his playing prime. Which current superstar occupies a similar space in his opinion? Stephen Curry, the biggest reason why the Golden State Warriors icon is one of O’Neal’s favorite players.
Chatting with Bill DiFillipo of UpRoxx, O’Neal shed further light on the unique greatness that has led him to believe Curry is “the best player in the world.”
“There’s no one like him,” he said of Curry. “People remember Shaq, there was no one like him. He’s one of those players — Mike, Kobe, LeBron, nobody like them. He has his own category: Best shooter ever. Not one of the best shooters, not Ray Allen, not Reggie Miller, he is the best shooter ever. I’m in a category, but there’s another name that you have to mention: Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O’Neal, the most dominant ever. I’m fine with that. But in his category, he’s by himself. Greatest player ever, 10 people in that category.
“So, the fact that he has his own category and nobody’s even close, and nobody’s even coming close, that should tell you a lot.”
O’Neal’s continued praise of Curry comes less than a month after he predicted the Warriors would win a second straight championship in 2022-23, on the back of “by far” the game’s best player.
It’s not just Curry’s best-ever shooting ability that makes O’Neal such a fan of the reigning Finals MVP. The big man whose game hinged largely on an otherworldly blend of size, power and explosion is “amazed” by the relatively diminutive Curry’s ongoing success in a league full of giants.
“That’s what amazes me the most — Jordan was big, Kobe was big, Bron is big,” O’Neal said. “If you saw Steph in the grocery store and you didn’t know who he was, you’d just think he was a regular guy food shopping. And so the fact that he plays and dominates all those big guys, I’m amazed by that…”
No one has ever bent defenses like Curry, and he proved virtually unstoppable with the ball in his hands during the NBA Finals, tormenting the Boston Celtics’ bevy of quality defenders in isolation and pick-and-roll. Do those realities alone make him the best player in the world? Not quite.
But they certainly put Curry in that conversation at the very least, an all-time accomplishment for a guard who turns 35 next spring. Kudos to O’Neal for not just realizing it, but continuing to help fans understand what makes Curry so special, too.

8 Montgomery Gentry Songs Written By Troy Gentry
In 1999, Montgomery Gentry signed their first record deal. Between then and when Troy Gentry was killed in a helicopter crash on Sept. 8, 2017, the duo released eight studio albums. Although the majority of their songs came from outside songwriters, Gentry and duo partner Eddie Montgomery did occasionally help co-write their material; Gentry specifically co-wrote eight of the songs that Montgomery Gentry released during his lifetime.
Below, readers can listen to the eight Montgomery Gentry songs that Gentry himself helped write. The first came on the duo's 2001 album Carrying On; the songs are arranged chronologically, so that listeners can hear how Gentry's writing progressed.
ACM Top New Vocal Duo or Group and CMA Vocal Duo of the Year winners and Grand Ole Opry members, Montgomery Gentry earned three platinum albums and five No. 1 singles. They released their last album before Gentry's death, Folks Like Us, in 2015; their final album featuring Gentry, a posthumous release, was 2018's Here's to You. Montgomery has continued to work and tour as Montgomery Gentry, however, with his and Gentry's band.
"Lucky to Be Here"
From 'Carrying On' (2001)Written by Troy Gentry, Kenny Beard and Eddie Montgomery
"Talking to My Angel"
From 'You Do Your Thing' (2004)Written by Troy Gentry, Michael Dulaney and Jason Sellers
"Takes All Kinds"
From 'Some People Change' (2006)Written by Troy Gentry, Neil Thrasher and Michael Dulaney
"If You Wanna Keep an Angel"
From 'Some People Change' (2006)Written by Troy Gentry, Tom Shapiro and Rivers Rutherford
"Simple Things"
From 'Rebels on the Run' (2011)Written by Troy Gentry, Wendell Mobley and Neil Thrasher
"Work Hard, Play Harder"
From 'Rebels on the Run' (2011)Written by Troy Gentry, Jim Collins and Rivers Rutherford
"Freedom Never Goes Out of Style"
From 'My Country, Vol. 2: Smash Hits' (2011)Written by Troy Gentry, Eddie Montgomery, Gary Hannah and Phil O'Donnell
This song was meant to be on Freedom, what would have been Montgomery Gentry's seventh studio album with Columbia Nashville; however, the duo left the label before the record could be released. In 2012, Jackson Delaney released a version of "Freedom Never Goes Out of Style" on his self-titled album.
Audio of "Freedom Never Goes Out of Style" is unavailable for embedding.
"Titty's Beer"
From 'Mud Digger, Vol. 4' (2013)Written by Troy Gentry, Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman
Colt Ford also released a version of this song, on his Every Chance I Get album, featuring Trent Tomlinson.

Q: My spouse and I are retired and file jointly for the Michigan income tax return. Whose age is used when filing jointly?
A: Always use the age of the older spouse for the Michigan tax return.
Q: What is the Michigan tax rate for 2022?
A: The tax rate for 2022 is 4.25%.
Q: My dad received a corrected 1099-INT showing an additional $9 in interest income. Does my dad have to file an amended tax return to include the $9?
A: No, he does not have to file an amended return due to the de minimis rule because the increased taxable amount is less than $10.
Q: My dad died in 2021 and had no beneficiaries on his 401(k)retirement plan. What happens to the money? Are there any tax liabilities?
A: If there are no beneficiaries then the estate of your dad becomes the beneficiary. You need to contact the trustee of the 401(k) plan to explore your options. In most 401(k)retirement plans the only option is a 100% distribution to the estate of the decedent with the beneficiaries splitting the money. All distributions from a 401(k)retirement plan are subject to ordinary income tax except for any after-tax contributions. If the estate assets are large enough then there could be an estate tax in addition to the ordinary income tax.
Q: My husband and I bought a vacation home in Florida in 2021 and sold it in 2022 for a $11,000 loss. Can we deduct this loss?
A: No, losses on personal real estate are not deductible.
Q: I have saved my tax records for the last 25 years. The paperwork is piling up and I want to know what I can throw out? I am concerned that the IRS will ask for a document that I do not have because I trashed it. How long do I need to keep my tax records?
A: The IRS has three years to audit your return from the filing date and six years if it believes that you under-reported your gross income by more than 25%. All investment records (stocks, bonds, real estate, business ownership, etc.) should be kept for six years after the sale of the investment. Any records for non-deductible IRA contributions on form 8606 should be kept indefinitely.
Q: I am recently divorced and paid child support and alimony in 2022. What can I deduct on my tax return?
A: Alimony is deductible but child support is not.
Q: What is the full retirement age (FRA) for Social Security benefits?
A: Anybody born before 1955 will have a FRA of 66. Anybody born after 1959 will have a FRA of 67. Anybody born in 1955 through 1959 will have a FRA that starts at age 66 plus two months and increases by two months for each year till 1959. A person could receive Social Security benefits at age 62 but the benefits would be permanently reduced by 25% for people with a FRA of 66 and reduced by 30% for people with a FRA of 67.
Q: I am 73 years old and I have never taken a distribution from my IRA. Do I have to take a mandatory distribution at a certain age?
A: Assuming that you have a traditional IRA, you must take the first distribution by April 1st in the following year after age 72. In your case, you should have taken at least one distribution.
Q: My wife and I own a brokerage account jointly. If both of us die what happens to the assets of our brokerage account?
A: The brokerage account would belong to the estate of the last person to die. In the case of simultaneity of death, a “will” can specify who the last person is. A brokerage account can have a “trust” title and upon death the trust document takes over. If you do not have a “trust” or a “will” then you can set up a TOD(transfer on death) designation on the brokerage account to name your beneficiaries. The TOD will override any named beneficiaries in your “will” or “trust”. Additionally, the TOD will avoid the probate process.
Q: Can I reimburse myself from my Health Savings Account (HSA) for qualified medical expenses that I paid out-of-pocket. Is there a time limit? Do I need to reimburse myself in the same year?
A: There is no time limit and the reimbursement does not have to be in the same year as the medical expense. As long as you had your HSA established at the time of the medical expense and it was not reimbursed, you can pay yourself from your HSA, even years later.
Q: Can I claim my cousin as a dependent if he has no income and I pay for his living expenses and he lives in my house.
A: Yes, you can as long your cousin is not a dependent of another person. Many filers think only young children can qualify as dependents — and they miss out on big deductions as a result. Qualified dependents can include parents, grandchildren and even non-relatives who made less than $4,400 in income during the tax year.
Q: What is the $16,000 gift rule? I am considering giving $9,000 to my brother. Do I get a deduction for my gift?
A: You can gift-give up to $16,000 annually to any person without triggering a gift tax. If you are married and your spouse is in agreement, you can double the annual gift to $32,000. You do not get a deduction and the recipient does not declare the gift as taxable income.

SAPD did not find the body of Chrissy Powell, 39, until 18 days after her disappearance .
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office concluded that 39-year-old Christina Powell, whose disappearance and death grabbed headlines during the summer, died from hyperthermia complicating ethanol intoxication,
according to MySA.
The Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death an accident, the online news site reports. Ethanol-related toxicity is frequently associated with consumption of a large quantity of alcoholic beverages.
Powell went missing July 5 after the mother of two was
caught on a doorbell camera leaving her home in a rush. According to family members, Powell left behind her cell phone and Apple Watch, MySA reports.
Surveillance footage
obtained by British publication the DailyMail later showed Powell arriving at Northwest San Antonio's Huebner Oaks shopping center around half an hour after leaving her home.
Despite noticing Powell’s parked 2022 Nissan Rogue on July 11, a security guard at the retail complex failed to alert police of the vehicle until 12 days later, as reported by the
Daily Mail.
San Antonio Police finally found Powell’s body July 23
in the passenger seat of her Nissan after shopping center security noticed a foul odor emanating from the vehicle, according to
People Magazine.
Powell’s mother told the
DailyMail that she didn't believe her daughter’s death was a suicide.

You’d think that after practically living in new restaurants while putting this list together, the last place the BA staff would want to be right now is another restaurant. But as we crisscrossed the country in search of the 50 best new restaurants of 2022, we were overwhelmed by how thrilling restaurant culture is at this moment. We’d text each other with near-maniacal glee that we’d just experienced a transcendent bagel with marshmallow fluff and warm banana tahini jam (yes, seriously, take it up with Korshak Bagels in Philly), or a few wonderfully gelatinous dumplings and a plate of crab dip at a curtained speakeasy above a pho restaurant (Phởcific Standard Time, Seattle).
The industry has been through a lot in the last few years, but these new restaurants point to a hopeful next chapter. Dishes and foodways that were previously hard to find in a lot of US cities are taking center stage, which means more Guyanese and South Indian and Palestinian and Indigenous Mexican food for all of us. After the pandemic made plain exactly how thankless restaurant work can be, some of the places on this list are challenging industry norms and putting their staff first in ways that feel new and refreshing. And even as the influence of platforms like TikTok grows and reshapes restaurant culture (whether we like it or not), a handful of new restaurants have decided to hell with fleeting trends.
I hope this list, divided by region and filled with our thoughts on what to order and what to know, acts as an invitation to shake off any skepticism as to whether going out is “worth it” these days. If you’re spending money to eat out, nothing is more worthwhile than a trip to one of these 50 restaurants. —Elazar Sontag, restaurant editor
Check back on 9/14, when we’ll announce our final list of America’s 10 best new restaurants.
Search by Region:
The Northeast & Mid-Atlantic
818 Franklin Ave., Brooklyn, NY
Sitting in a snug corner of this breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot in Brooklyn, you’ll be inclined to feel like you’re being cared for by your very culinarily talented Jewish grandmother. The menu, influenced heavily by Eastern European traditions, allows you to have both a glass of cold borscht and some truly excellent Hungarian baked goods, like fluffy knots of dough called Ferdinand buns. At night a generous pour of natural wine leads into unfussy plates of chicken liver mousse, spaetzle mac and cheese, and a hefty slice of New York–style cheesecake that will remind you you’re still in Brooklyn.
What to order:
For weekday breakfast and lunch: Confit Tuna Melt ($17); Glass of Cold Pink Borscht ($9); assorted pastries ($5–$10). For summer dinner, menu changes seasonally: Chicken Liver Mousse ($12); Dill Spaetzle Mac ($20); Cod Croquettes ($28); New York Style Cheesecake ($13).
398 Manhattan Ave., Brooklyn, NY
Is there anything more New York than a restaurant so highly anticipated that it’s a rare day you can walk right in and get a table? Maybe there is: a restaurant that gets almost as much love for its cool bathroom (think lots of neon lights) as for its food. That’s Bonnie’s, the Cantonese American restaurant chef Calvin Eng opened to rave reviews and a waitlist to prove it. No matter the night, the small restaurant is buzzing with energy from excited diners and a friendly staff, all ready to point out their favorite dishes and drinks. Sure, you may be drawn in by the Cha Siu McRib, a glossy hunk of a sandwich inspired by one fast food behemoth, or the stunner of a whole stuffed fish. But unless you’re dining with a large group, stick with the smaller plates so you can try more of the menu—and definitely save room for a sundae.

M2 13-inch MacBook Pro
We start today’s deals at Best Buy, where Apple’s latest 13-inch MacBook Pro receives bigger savings than before. Indeed, it was listed earlier this week with a $150 discount, which would get you a new laptop with 256GB storage space, 8GB RAM, and a new M2 chip for $1,149, but the latest offer will let you score $200 savings and more storage space with your purchase.
Apple’s M2-powered MacBook Pro is now receiving a $200 discount on its 512GB storage option, which means you can take one home for $1,299. Of course, this won’t get you more RAM or a higher-end processor, as you will receive the same 8GB RAM and the same 10-core Apple M2 chip under the hood, and the best part is that you will find the same deal over at Amazon.com. Just remember that Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro looks just like its M1-powered predecessor, which means you get Apple’s TouchBar and a design that may seem a bit dated.
Suppose you want more power and a more contemporary design. In that case, you can check out Apple’s M2-powered MacBook Air, which is now available for $1,099. This option will also get you 8GB RAM, 256GB storage space, and an 18-hour battery life, which is 2 hours less than what you’d get on the 13-inch MacBook Pro. And remember that you can also opt for the more potent 14-inch MacBook Pro that sells for $2,099 after receiving a $400 discount.
MacBook Pro M2

Lenovo’s 2022 Flex 5 Chromebook 2-in-1 Laptop is also on sale, and it will be a better option for those who wish to purchase a new laptop that will deliver amazing battery life and more than enough power to do general web browsing, watching videos, and regular schoolwork. The best part is that it can be yours for just $250 after a recent 34 percent discount that will get you $130 savings. And you can use those savings to get your hands on a new HyperX Alloy Elite 2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard that now sells for just $85 after a $45 discount that represents a 35 percent discount.
Microsoft 13-inch Multi-Touch Surface Pro X
This Microsoft Surface Pro X version comes with a 13-inch touchscreen display, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage space, an Adreno 690 GPU, and a Microsoft SQ 2 processor under the hood.

Apple Watch SE
Apple recently announced the new Apple Watch Series 8, the Apple Watch Ultra, and a new iteration of the Apple Watch SE, which means that the previous Apple Watch versions have just gotten more affordable. Take the first-generation Apple Watch SE, for example. You can now get your new 40mm or the larger 44mm, GPS-only models for just $240, which means that you can score $69 savings on the larger variant or $39 on the smaller model. However, you can also get the latest version for just $279, which will get you a new Apple Watch SE that’s 20 percent faster than its predecessor.

By James Muonwa I Mashonaland West Correspondent
CITIZENS Coalition for Change (CCC) has secured police clearance for a rally scheduled for Chinhoyi this Sunday to celebrate the party’s emphatic victories in recent by elections, where the party won five out of six council wards.
Among conditions issued by police, opposition CCC leader, Nelson Chamisa, and his supporters must adhere to strict Covid 19 containment protocols, which include wearing face masks.
Interim CCC Mashonaland West chairman, Ralph Magunje confirmed to NewZimbabwe.com that all was set for the major “thank you” event.
According to a clearance letter from Officer Commanding Makonde police district, Chief Superintendent M. Ngorima, addressed to Magunje, the event will go ahead on September 11, but with strict conditions.
“Reference is made to your letter dated 10/08/22 with regards to holding a Thank You Rally on 11/09/22 from 0900 hours to 1600 hours at Gadzema Grounds,” reads the letter.
CCC was also ordered to abide by a condition that its officials desist from political hate speech calculated to provoke breach of peace.
The event organisers were also instructed to avoid exceeding the regulated time.
“If the above conditions are not followed, the gathering shall be dispersed and the organisers arrested,” the letter further reads.
The ruling party, Zanu PF lost amid allegations of vote buying and intimidation of the electorate.
One Zanu PF also slaughtered a beast and donated meat rations to all households in the ward in a clear case of vote buying, but went on to lose dismally.
CCC bagged five out of the six local authority by elections in Chinhoyi’s Ward 2, 3, 8, 12 and 14, where its candidates Patricia Chibaya, Richard Vhitirinyu, Mukudzei Chigumbura, Dyke Makumbi and Chipo Mhlotswa romped to victory.
The only upset was in Ward 4, where the CCC interim district chairman, Brighton Mhizha, lost to Zanu PF’s Ignatius Zvigadza after polling 569 against 718.
