A bankruptcy judge on Thursday approved a $2.46 billion reorganization plan proposed by the Boy Scouts of America, which would allow it to keep operating while compensating tens of thousands of men who say they were sexually abused as children while involved in Scouting.
Though legal hurdles remain, the ruling by Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein in Delaware marked an important milestone for the BSA, which sought bankruptcy protection more than two years ago to stave off a flood of lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse by Scout leaders and volunteers.
Lawyers for some of the victims said the amount an individual survivor may receive from the bankruptcy plan depends on multiple factors relating to the alleged abuse. The plan calls for the BSA and its local councils, along with settling insurance companies and troop sponsoring organizations, including Catholic institutions and parishes, to contribute to a fund for survivors. In return, those groups would be shielded from future lawsuits over Scout-related abuse allegations.
More than 80,000 men have filed claims saying they were abused as children by troop leaders around the country.
“Credit to the courageous survivors that this breakthrough in child and scouting safety has been achieved,” said attorney Jeff Anderson, whose firm represented more than 800 Boy Scout abuse survivors.
Anderson said most of the $2.46 billion is to be paid to survivors, but some funds would be set aside in a trust to continue litigation against entities that have not settled, mainly insurance companies.
It will likely take months for any of the abuse claimants to receive compensation.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Anderson said the settlement has drawn mixed reactions from his clients. Many are proud they stood up and demanded a cleanup of the Irving, Texas-based Boy Scouts, while others feel like they were dismissed because the organization “hid behind the statute of limitations” in some states.
The Boy Scouts of America said it is pleased the court has approved its reorganization plan.
“We continue to be enormously grateful to the survivor community, whose bravery, patience, and willingness to share their experiences has been instrumental in the formation of this Plan,” the organization said in a statement.
The Boy Scouts said the perspectives and priorities of the survivors ”will be ingrained in the BSA's programming moving forward."
The BSA also said that because certain parties have said they plan to appeal the order, the organization will next begin an appeal process in order to emerge from Chapter 11, “which will allow survivors to be equitably compensated and preserve the mission of Scouting for future generations.”
A federal district judge must sign off on Silberstein's ruling.
When it filed for bankruptcy, the BSA faced about 275 filed lawsuits and was aware of numerous other potential cases. More than 80,000 abuse claims were eventually filed as part of the bankruptcy.
Attorneys for BSA insurers argued early on that the sheer volume of claims was an indication of fraud and the result of aggressive client solicitation by attorneys and for-profit claims aggregators. While some of those insurers later negotiated settlements, other insurers continued to oppose the plan. They argued that the procedures for distributing funds from the compensation trust would violate their contractual rights to contest claims and set a dangerous precedent for mass litigation.

Financial Focus: When should you adjust your investment mix?
There are no shortcuts to investment success — you need to establish a long-term strategy and stick with it. This means that you’ll want to create an investment mix based on your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon — and then regularly review this mix to ensure it’s still meeting your needs.
In fact, investing for the long term doesn’t necessarily mean you should lock your investments in forever. Throughout your life, you’ll likely need to make some changes.
Of course, everyone’s situation is different and there’s no prescribed formula for when and how you should adjust your investments. But some possibilities may be worth considering.
For example, a few years before you retire, you may want to re-evaluate your risk exposure and consider moving part of your portfolio into a more risk-averse position. When you were decades away from retiring, you may have felt more comfortable with a more aggressive positioning because you had time to “bounce back” from any market downturns. But as you near retirement, it may make sense to lower your risk level.
And as part of a move toward a reduced-risk approach, you also may want to evaluate the “cash” positions in your portfolio. When the market has gone through a decline, as has been the case in 2022, you may not want to tap into your portfolio to meet short-term and emergency needs, so having sufficient cash on hand is important. Keep in mind, though, that having too much cash on the “sidelines” may affect your ability to reach your long-term goals.
Even if you decide to adopt a more risk-averse investment position before you retire, though, you may still benefit from some growth-oriented investments in your portfolio to help you keep ahead of — or at least keep pace with — inflation. As you know, inflation has surged in 2022, but even when it’s been relatively mild, it can still erode your purchasing power significantly over time.
Changes in your own goals or circumstances may also lead you to modify your investment mix. You might decide to retire earlier or later than you originally planned. You might even change your plans for the type of retirement you want, choosing to work part-time for a few years. Your family situation may change — perhaps you have another child for whom you’d like to save and invest for college. Any of these events could lead you to review your portfolio to find new opportunities or to adjust your risk level — or both.
You might wonder if you should also consider changing your investment mix in response to external forces, such as higher interest rates or the rise in inflation this year. It’s certainly true that these types of events can affect parts of your portfolio, but it may not be advisable to react by shuffling your investment mix.
In the first place, nobody can really predict how long these forces will keep their momentum — it’s quite possible, for instance, that inflation will have subsided noticeably within a year. But more importantly, you should make investment moves based on the factors we’ve already discussed: your goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and individual circumstances.
By reviewing your portfolio regularly, possibly with the assistance of a financial professional, you can help ensure that your investment mix will always be appropriate for your needs and goals.

Pittsburgh gives Vols rare road test vs. Top 25 non-SEC foe
By Rhiannon Potkey
Updated 4:30PM
Tennessee is accustomed to playing against physical teams in hostile environments in the Southeastern Conference. But the Vols rarely venture on the road against other major programs outside the SEC.
That changes this weekend.
Tennessee (1-0), which entered the AP Top 25 poll this week at No. 24, plays No. 17 Pittsburgh (1-0) in the second edition of the Johnny Majors Classic at Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field) Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EDT (ABC).
It’s the first time the Vols have faced a Power Five opponent in a true road environment since playing Oklahoma in Norman in 2014. They haven’t faced an ACC opponent on the road at a nonneutral site since upsetting No. 6 Miami in 2003.
“This is a big game for us, obviously. The first road test for us against a really good football team,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel says. “They are tough and physical on both sides of the line of scrimmage, and they do a really nice job. It will be a big test for us.”
The Vols will be trying to avenge last season’s 41-34 loss to Pitt at Neyland Stadium in which they gave up 27 points in the second quarter.
Last year’s game marked the ascendance of quarterback Hendon Hooker. The redshirt senior came off the bench to throw for 188 yards and two touchdowns while leading the Vols to their final 21 points after starter Joe Milton III left the game with an injury in the second quarter.
Hooker never gave up the starting role, and has flourished in UT’s up-tempo attack.
But Pitt’s offensive personnel has changed. The defending ACC champions no longer have quarterback Kenny Pickett or wide receiver Jordan Addison. Pickett was drafted by the hometown Steelers and Addison transferred to Southern California, one of several USC storylines between the teams.
USC transfer Kedon Slovis is the starting quarterback for Pitt. In his debut last week, Slovis completed 16 of 24 passes for 308 yards – the most by a Pitt QB in a season opener since 1998 – in 38-31 win against rival West Virginia in a long-awaited resumption of the Backyard Brawl.
The Vols did what was expected in their season-opener, easily beating Ball State 59-10 to tie the school record for consecutive games scoring 45 points or more at four. Bru McCoy, who transferred from USC and was cleared to play by the NCAA a few days before UT’s opener, finished with three catches for 42 yards.
Pitt will present much more of a challenge than a middling MAC program.
The Panthers remain the only current ACC team Tennessee has not defeated. The Vols are 0-3 all-time in the series. Tennessee will be playing in the state of Pennsylvania for the first time in program history, and Pitt is hosting an SEC team for the first time.
Heupel will be coaching against Pitt for the fourth time in his career after playing them twice while at Central Florida.
“We have to do a great job of being physical with the front seven in particular, but really your entire defensive unit,” Heupel says. “You have to maintain gap integrity and have your eyes in the right place too, because play-action is going to come off of it and you cannot give them any chunk plays.”
Although some of the personnel may have changed from last year, Heupel believes the experience provided a window into Pitt’s overall style.
“Understanding the type of game that’s going to be played, meaning that they’re smart, tough and competitive,” he says. “The little things are going to add up to the big things that show up on the scoreboard, and we have to do a great job at taking care of the football. We have to find a way to create turnovers. Special teams will be a huge part of the football game. Field position is as well and maximizing our opportunities.”
Establishing the run will be a priority for the Vols against Pitt. UT junior running back Jabari Small rushed eight times for 18 yards and a touchdown in last season’s loss to the Panthers.
Small packed on 15 additional pounds in the offseason to be better prepared for the rigors and physicality of opponents like Pitt and SEC foes.
He could tell the difference against Ball State, when he rushed 13 times for 63 yards and a touchdown.
“Mainly, it was with my confidence. I was pretty confident running the ball, running through tackles and running through smoke. It felt good,” Small says. “I felt good getting my feet back under me (and) catching my wind. As the season goes on, we’ll meet different challenges. Hopefully, I’ll grow with the season.”
Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi joked that Hooker has been around college football for “12 years.” The Panthers squared off against the quarterback when he played in the ACC for Virginia Tech before transferring to UT.
“He’s got a great arm. He’s smart. Like I said, you look at where he is right now compared to where he was two years ago when he was at Virginia Tech, two totally different guys,” Narduzzi says. “That’s obviously a tribute – that’s no slam on what Virginia Tech did with him, but he fits into that offense, and his quarterback coach is coaching the heck out of him, and I think he’s really, really sharp.”
Narduzzi is a master of turning every perceived slight into motivation. He loves being the underdog, and was happy to hear Tennessee entered the week favored despite Pitt being ranked and playing at home.
“You’ve heard all summer about the SEC, and there’s only really two Power Five conferences in the country, the SEC and the Big Ten,” Narduzzi says. “So we’re in the pee-wee league and we’re going to line up and see if we can play.”

The veld surrounding OR Tambo International Airport’s runways went up in smoke this week. And the world-class facility’s reputation is at risk of going in the same direction.
The fire, which took most of Monday to extinguish, caused the temporary closure of a runway and left a blanket of smog over much of Boksburg. Allegations in the media suggested the fire was caused by arson as a consequence of a grass-cutting tender dispute.
Airport management firm Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has denied it told airlines the fire was a controlled burn which got out of control. The airport said it had not yet established the cause, or geographic origin, of the fire.
There were also rumours a fire at logistics company RTT, adjacent to the airport last Sunday, continued to smoulder and started the fire at the airport.
OR Tambo International spokesperson Samukelo Khambule said the cause of the fire was still under investigation.
“We do have confirmation it started outside the airport perimeter. It would be premature for us to assume the fire was caused by the fire that broke out on RTT grounds. We need to allow the full investigation process to take place.”
The Citizen discovered that fire breaks meant to control the spread of veld fires and protect adjacent properties were not compliant. Step-measured, visible fire breaks were nearly half the width of legal requirements.
Khambule said the airport was in the process of complying with legislation.
“In terms of regulation, we are required to maintain three metre-wide fire breaks along the primary perimeter wall.
“Contractually we do fire breaks annually. The work was conducted last year [and] we are due to review for this year. Our contractors are preparing for activation.”
WATCH: Veld fire shuts OR Tambo runway, damages two planes
Community activist and security specialist Hilary Coke was not impressed. A portion of the perimeter, a no-man’s land surrounding secure airport grounds, is used by local cyclists, and when the fire brigade needed to get on site because the area was also on fire, the gate was locked.
According to Coke, it took at least an hour before a contracted security company managed to open the gate. The fire spilt over to a water reservoir bordering the airport. A concrete fence separates the two properties and a park a few hundred metres down the road.
Had the fire not been brought under control, said ward councillor Simon Lapping, nearby houses would have been impacted.
‘Perhaps there was a dragon breathing fire’
Khambule said: “The OR Tambo property has a solid concrete wall which has a perimeter intrusion detection system that forms a barrier between the accessible area and restricted area.”
Lapping wondered how the veld fire managed to jump through a solid wall: “Perhaps there was a dragon breathing fire across the field. It’s the stuff of fantasy.”
Coke pointed out a dilapidated outer perimeter fence, about 600m from Denel’s complex at the airport. Concrete pillars were all that remained. A local resident said he could walk right up to the fence which separates open veld and Denel.
There were no visible intruder detection systems and barbed wire rolled across the veld was cut and pulled open in several places. Lapping said he was concerned about airport security. It’s in his ward. In July, Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigrants were caught in airport ventilation ducts, trying to sneak into the country.
Lapping said: “With allegations of possible arson, the poor state of fire breaks and the fact that it managed to spread beyond Acsa’s property is cause for concern.”
That the public could get so close to airport grounds through the veld was equally disturbing.
“You do not have to cross the perimeter fence to be able to do damage. You just have to get close enough.”

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 1, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Kohl's Strategic Plan was not well tailored to achieving the Company's stated goals; (2) the defendants had likewise overstated the Company's success in executing its Strategic Plan; (3) Kohl's had deficient disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting, and corporate governance mechanisms; (4) as a result, the Company's Board was able to and did withhold material information from shareholders about the state of Kohl's in the lead-up to the Company's annual meeting; (5) all the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to have a material negative impact on Kohl's financial condition and reputation; and (6) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Kohl's class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8539 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Skeleton New Zealand team at Worlds after riders asked to pay own way
No George Bennett with James Fouche sole elite men's competitor, Niamh Fisher-Black to lead women's team of four
For New Zealand a UCI Road World Championships in Australia is just about as close to a home race for the rainbow jersey as you can get, but rather than the competition for spots being high the squad will only have one competitor in the elite men's category and is utilising only four of its seven available women's positions in the elite/U23 category.
The small squad – with U23 rider Niamh Fisher-Black leading the women's team and New Zealand champion James Fouche the sole elite men's competitor – is a combined consequence of the relegation battle, COVID-19 and major increases in costs, Cycling New Zealand said.
In fact, the budget of the cycling federation has become so tight – it lost its major sponsor Vantage last year – that riders were even asked to pay their own travel costs.
“In the end it has not been an ideal year to stage the world championships in Australia, with costs more than double our 2021 budget, and with some riders having to return to Europe and then come back to New Zealand for summer,” said Cycling New Zealand high performance director, Amy Taylor, in a statement.
“We have a significant $50,000 budget for the event and will focus on delivering a world-class group of support staff which is what our riders have asked for. And we appreciate they have had to fund their travel component."
George Bennett, who was considered likely to be the key rider for the men's elite squad had in recent weeks said that he expected to travel straight from the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec et de Montréal in Canada to Wollongong but then when the announcement came he wasn't on the team list.
The UAE Team Emirates rider had made the comment in an episode of the Social Distance Podcast (opens in new tab) three weeks ago that it was a difficult logistical task to organise getting to Worlds, on top of having to pay for flights and accommodation.
"I understand that they’ve got no money, there is just nothing else they can do. But there is just a lot of moving parts,” Bennett said on the podcast, adding that the situation, however, raised another difficult question.
“Everyone has paid for their way there. How do you then ask for them to work for someone else ... I would never ask someone that has paid all that money to pay for themselves to get there to help me.”
Cycling New Zealand is not alone in facing budget constraints, with Cycling Ireland also opting out of the World Championships because of the burden it would place on limited resources.
The men's peloton, too, has had a number of riders pulled out of the running for the Road World Championships in Wollongong, including retiring Movistar rider Alejandro Valverde, because of the fight for points in order to avoid relegation from the WorldTour at the end of the year. Cycling New Zealand said rider availability for its team had also been affected by the tight relegation battle, but it did not specify the riders involved. Both Patrick Bevin of Israel Premier-Tech and Dion Smith of BikeExchange-Jayco are riders on teams that are at risk of relegation.
Relegation isn't an issue within the women's peloton but while the squad of four is considerably larger than that which will be racing in the men's elite road race, it still falls short of the number of spots New Zealand was allocated. The nation qualified for six places in the women's elite/U23 road race and also had a spot for Ella Wyllie as a result of her U23 women's Oceania Championships win.
Wyllie will join the squad led by Fisher-Black, who is not only looking to be a key favourite for the U23 title in the combined category race but the SD Worx rider is also a strong contender in the elite ranks. Women's WorldTour riders Mikayla Harvey (Canyon-SRAM) and Henrietta Christie (Human Powered Health) are also on the squad.
Jack Drage and Logan Currie will compete in the U23 men's category while Toby Evans, Tom Stephenson and Lewis Bower will line up in the men's junior competition. The women's junior team is made up of Amelia Sykes, Arabella Tuck, Bonnie Rattray and Muireann Green.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Xiyu “Janet” Lin of China opened with five birdies in six holes, birdied all but one of the par 5s and had an 8-under 64 on Thursday for a one-shot lead over Nasa Hataoka in the Kroger Queen City Championship.
The LPGA Tour returned to Cincinnati for the first time in 33 years and was greeted with a gorgeous day and plenty of good scoring at Kenwood Country Club.
That included a remarkable performance by 14-year-old Gianna Clemente, who made it through Monday qualifying for the third week in a row on the LPGA Tour and this time has a chance to play all four days. Clemente played bogey-free for a 70.
It did not include Lexi Thompson. One week after she played in the final group and didn’t make a birdie until the 18th hole to tie for 16th, Thompson didn’t make a single birdie in her round of 76, her highest of the year at a regular LPGA event. She had a 77 at Muirfield when she missed the cut in the Women’s British Open.
Lin is coming off a tie for seventh at the Dana Open, showing signs of life after a good start to the year. Playing in the afternoon, she opened with three straight birdies on the back nine, made par, and then added two more birdies.
“That was a dream start. You can’t ask for a better start,” Lin said. “So I just tell myself, ‘Need to keep going.’’
Her lone bogey came on the par-4 seventh toward the end of her round, and she responded with her ninth birdie of the round to regain the lead over Hataoka.
“I still do need to adjust my tee shots, but other than that, my iron and putting is good. I just have to keep that going,” Hataoka said.
The surprise was Clemente, who splits time between her native Ohio and Florida and lost in the championship match of the U.S. Junior Girls this year.
She got through Monday qualifying for Canada and missed the cut, then did it again for the Dana Open outside Toledo and missed the cut.
For her third straight start, the teenager made only two birdies and very few mistakes. And she wasn’t entirely satisfied.
“I feel good about it. Could have been a little better. I can think of a couple putts that maybe I should have made,” Clemente said. “But it was all right. I definitely know that I can go lower than that, so I’m going to go work on my putting a little bit and we’ll get that fixed up a little bit and hopefully it’ll be lower tomorrow.”
Former U.S. Women’s Open champion A Lim Kim and Sarah Kemp were at 66, while the group at 67 included Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand and former Women’s PGA champion Sei Young Kim.
The most exciting round belonged to Paula Creamer in her second tournament back from having her first baby. She shot a 72 that was far from even. Creamer holed out from 104 yards with a gap wedge for an eagle on par-4 fifth hole. Three holes later, Creamer made a hole-in-one with a 7-iron.
That’s two eagles in one round, along with three birdies. But she also had five bogeys and a double bogey, and had to settle for at least being inside the cut line going into Friday.
“I made a lot of putting mistakes and did some mental errors here and there. Unfortunately, my scorecard is a roller coaster. But that’s golf,” Creamer said.
“I feel good with where my game is at. I know it’s an up and down thing, but I just need to stay on path with what we’re doing,” she said. “I really do think it’s going to produce great things here eventually.”

Saints running back Alvin Kamara was asked multiple questions Thursday about his ongoing battery case in Las Vegas. He would not comment other than to say it won’t affect his trip to London for the Saints’ Oct. 2 game against the Vikings.
On Aug. 1, a judge in Las Vegas delayed Kamara’s hearing 60 days.
Kamara said his focus is on football as the Saints ready to open the season against the Falcons.
Coach Dennis Allen said Kamara had as good a preseason as ever, and offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael called it great.
The five-time Pro Bowler played seven snaps in the third preseason game, his only preseason appearance, and had two carries for 19 yards and a reception for 5 yards.
“I’m definitely healthy, I think,” Kamara said, via Terrin Waack of The Times-Picayune. “But I might have gotten faster. I don’t know. I feel explosive. I feel good.”
For the first time in his six seasons, Kamara will serve as a team captain.
“Everybody was kind of like laughing, joking like, ‘You’ve been a cap,’” Kamara said. “But just to get the title and get that ‘C’ on my jersey is definitely meaningful. I mean, it’s my teammates (who) voted for me, so dope accomplishment.”
Linebacker Demario Davis, quarterback Jameis Winston, defensive end Cam Jordan, offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk and defensive back J.T. Gray are the Saints’ other captains.

Colombia's territorial battle between Indigenous and Black communities
PAY ATTENTION: Click “See First” under the “Following” tab to see Legit.ng News on your Facebook News Feed!
Cattle nonchalantly graze near a dilapidated farm on partly charred and abandoned sugarcane fields.
In the fertile Cauca valley in Colombia's southwest, Nasa Indigenous people have been forcibly occupying farmland, claiming to be putting to an end damaging monoculture in the country's main sugarcane growing area.
These sudden eruptions have provoked serious tensions with manual laborers from the sugarcane industry, who are often Black and find themselves chased off their land and out of work.
It seems that a new conflict is about to break out in the Corinto valley, where everyone is claiming "ancestral" lands.
"How can they (the Nasa) claim this land belongs to them if our ancestors lived here their whole lives," one of the local Black leaders told AFP.
Many Black communities have lived in the region for more than a century.

The Nasa want to "build their houses on top of ours," he added, hitting out at the "violence" brought by the occupiers.
Close to 2,500 people of African descent, "small- and medium-scale sugarcane producers, live in Severo Mulato, a village bordering several occupied areas.
The Nasa don't accept sugarcane plantations. They say these dry out the land and enrich only the sugar barons living in Cali, one of Colombia's main cities.
'Fighting with stones'
Since the June election of Gustavo Petro, the country's first ever leftist president, Indigenous people have stepped up forceful occupations and confiscations of land in Cauca, which is already one of the worst affected areas by the violence brought by armed gangs and drug traffickers.
Police say there have been 30 occupations of farmland, including nine in the last month.
Hugely popular amongst Indigenous people, Petro has promised an "agrarian reform" to redistribute land in a country where a small landowning elite controls the majority of territory.
Territorial access is at the heart of the bloody six-decade long conflict that has ravaged Colombia.
During the 1960s, it was the main factor motivating farmers in their armed struggle against the state.
In the following decades, right-wing paramilitaries violently displaced thousands of families in favor of major landowners and cattle ranchers.
Indigenous people have now occupied land in seven of Colombia's 32 provinces.
It has been condemned by the government, which said the police would intervene.
The Nasa "cut down anything they like ... they build cabins, burn" the sugarcane, and destroyed five hectares of crops, said the Black leader.
After the abolition of slavery in 1851, Black people bought land in exchange for their work.
Now, most of their descendents grow sugarcane to sell to the major exporters in the region.
"When we faced up to (the Indigenous people), we had to fight with stones because we didn't have any other weapons," he added.
Getting the valley back
Just a year ago, the Severo Mulato settlement lay next to a sugarcane farm.
Some 400 "landless" Indigenous families descended from the mountains and took over the land.
In the abandoned homes, infested with mosquitoes, Nasa women and children crowd around wood fires living off vegetables grown in small plots.
"We came and put our lives (at risk) for the right to a piece of land," argues the group's leader, his face masked for fear of persecution.
He said the large scale farmers had forced Indigenous people "into the mountains" by colonizing the cultivable land.
With a growing population, they had to cut down the forest to grow food, to the detriment of local fauna and flora.
That's why they decided to "reclaim" the valley -- and to destroy the sugarcane to plant bananas, rice and corn in its place.
Indigenous reserves account for 20 percent of Cauca.
But the Indigenous people complain that these lands are mostly uncultivable forest.
The Indigenous people have established a territory of 1.5 hectares, blocked off from police intervention by tree trunks.
The Black villages are nearby in the valley.
It is a powder keg.
The union of sugarcane exploiters has complained about the loss of "close to 6,000 jobs."
The industry was responsible for "the development of these communities" according to Juan Carlos Agudelo, a spokesman for the sugarcane workers.
The poverty rate in Cauca of 58 percent is largely above the national average of 39.5 percent.
"Communities that have no schools, no homes, that have no running water. Where is the development?" asks the Indigenous leader.

Buckingham Palace has announced that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has died.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, paid tribute to The Queen:
“On 21 April 1947, on her twenty-first birthday, Princess Elizabeth said, ‘I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service.’
“Now, seventy-five years later, we are heartbroken in our loss at her death, and so full of admiration for the unfailing way in which she fulfilled that declaration.
“Even in my sorrow, shared with so many around the world, I am filled with an immense sense of gratitude for the gift to the world that has been the life of Queen Elizabeth II.
“At this time, we pray for the repose of the soul of Her Majesty. We do so with confidence, because the Christian faith marked every day of her life and activity.
“In her Millennium Christmas message, she said, ‘To many of us, our beliefs are of fundamental importance. For me the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life. I, like so many of you, have drawn great comfort in difficult times from Christ’s words and example.’
“This faith, so often and so eloquently proclaimed in her public messages, has been an inspiration to me, and I am sure to many. The wisdom, stability and service which she consistently embodied, often in circumstances of extreme difficulty, are a shining legacy and testament to her faith.
“Our prayer is that she is now received into the merciful presence of God, there to be reunited with her beloved Prince Philip. This is the promise of our faith, and our deep consolation.
“Queen Elizabeth II will remain, always, a shining light in our history. May she now rest in peace. We pray for His Majesty the King, as he assumes his new office even as he mourns his mother. God save the King.”
Just after 6:30pm on Thursday, 8 September 2022, Buckingham Palace made the official announcement:
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.

These 10 housing markets are overdue for a price drop, analysts say
(NEXSTAR) – Between high prices and high interest rates, there hasn’t been much good news for would-be homebuyers lately. But new data from CoreLogic, a financial analytics company that tracks real estate markets around the country, has a glimmer of hope for those looking to buy in 10 U.S. cities.
Real estate has been red-hot the past year. CoreLogic found in its most recent analysis that prices jumped more than 18% nationwide from June 2021 to June 2022. And some states saw prices jump by even more — Tennessee saw an increase of 25.8%, and Florida saw whopping 31.8% year-over-year price growth.
CoreLogic expects a much cooler year ahead, forecasting prices around the country to go up about 4% by June of next year.
New list of ‘best value’ colleges released: Is your alma mater on it?“Though annual appreciation was still strong, it slowed from the previous month for the second consecutive month, reflecting reduced buyer demand in part due to higher mortgage rates and worries about a slowing economy,” the report reads.
In some areas, the analysts are actually expecting prices to fall. CoreLogic told Nexstar it expects the below 10 metro areas to see price drops over the next year. (The list is ranked with the highest risk of price drops at the top — not necessarily the largest drops.)
- Bend-Redmond, Oregon
- Longview, Washington
- Bremerton-Silverdale, Washington
- Bellingham, Washington
- Boise, Idaho
- Mount Vernon-Anacortes, Washington
- Grants Pass, Oregon
- Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
- Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, Florida
- Olympia-Tumwater, Washington
Northwestern states dominate the list, with several areas in Oregon, Washington and Idaho ranking in the top 10.
Here’s how much student loan forgiveness you’ll receive, and when you’ll see itThe only non-Northwestern locale included in the top 10 is the Florida panhandle metro area including Crestview, Fort Walton and Destin. The median home price in the city of Destin is $655,000, according to Zillow data. But if CoreLogic’s forecast pans out, a beachside home there could soon be just a bit cheaper.

In the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, her eldest son, Prince Charles, the next in line for the throne, will now be known as King Charles III; but he isn’t the only member of the royal family getting a title change. As the line of succession shifts, other titles will also be affected, including those of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Charles’ son and daughter-in-law, respectively.
William and Kate, who were named the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they got married in 2011, are now also known as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall following the Queen’s passing. Their new official titles are: Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.
They’ve already updated their official Twitter account to reflect the change.
The Duchy of Cornwall has been traditionally helmed by the eldest son of the reigning monarch. King Charles held this title as the queen’s oldest son while his wife, Camilla, went by the Duchess of Cornwall. After the queen’s passing, and with Charles now serving as king, the honor has been passed down to his eldest son, William.
There could be more title changes in William and Kate’s future, too. Prince Charles and Princess Diana, his first wife, were also given the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales by the queen. (Camilla technically became the Princess of Wales when she married then-Prince Charles in 2005, but she chose to go as the Duchess of Cornwall publicly out of respect for the late Princess Diana.) This title is not inherited automatically, but “it is normally passed on when the existing Prince of Wales accedes to the throne,” according to the Prince of Wales’ website, per Marie Claire UK. King Charles could choose to do the same, thus making William and Kate the new Prince and Princess of Wales.
“The new King will have to invest [William] as Prince of Wales, so likely there’ll be an investiture at Caernarfon Castle, as there was for Prince Charles in 1969,” Carolyn Harris, author of Raising Royalty: 1000 Years of Royal Parenting, explained to Page Six.
Such plans may be announced in time, but for now, the royal family’s main focus is paying their respects to Her Majesty.

“New Path” provides a second chance for recovering addicts
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Glasgow’s “New Path Recovery Home” is assisting female addicts on their path to recovery, while also giving them a second chance at life.
Rachel Jackson, completed her own treatment in 2011, and soon after, devoted her life to help people recovering from addiction.
She moved herself and her family into a five-bedroom home to act as a halfway home, where she says her husband thought she was “nuts” for it at first, but that it was something she had to do.
The 26-week program works in more ways than one to integrate addicts back into society.
New Path works in many different ways, each specific to a member’s own walk of life.
At times, battles with addiction can drive away family and friends, leaving some with nothing and no one to lean on.
“You’ve got to have refuge. How do you do that when you’ve got no one to have Thanksgiving with?” Jackson says.
One recent graduate, and success story, of the program explained how New Path changed her life for the better.
“Without that encouragement, I’m not sure that I would have been following that path. And that’s the thing is that I do smile a lot more these days. Because what’s not to smile about? I couldn’t have told you that. But now, every day, there’s something to look forward to. And a large part of that is because of this program.” Donna Buckley says.
The program works to integrate participants back into the real world, re-learning how to be an adult in a functioning society, that could have been lost during addiction.
Whether it be helping members to establish a checking account or even fixing up their resume, the program is able to assist each person, even with therapy to help their recovery and mental well-being during a very sensitive time in their lives.
“It is imperative to plant them in a safe place to allow them to grow.” Jackson says.

Free And No Wager In A Casino
To lure customers, many casinos focus on offering free spins, no deposit welcome bonuses, and applying for wagering requirements to the money that is won due to the monetary bonus lacking factor. In that case, even if a punter supposedly has 10 free spins, he would have to wager his winnings multiple times before being able to cash out. However, there are many casinos that offer wager-free spins and the punter can keep his winnings from the free spins.
Technically, every casino will offer its bettors some kind of welcome bonus. However, not all of them would clearly provide instructions or guidelines about the wagering requirements which makes it almost impossible to withdraw any winnings. One must choose a casino after going through its terms and conditions in order to avoid misleading information or getting sold out.
No deposit no Gamstop bonus offers have huge popularity among British players due to the flexibility in terms of the rules and regulations of the gameplay. In case the free spins no wagering option is unavailable at certain casinos where one can choose free spins with low wagering requirements.
A wager is a bet which is spent on an online slot, table game, bingo, poker, or an online slot. Online casino bonuses come with a wagering requirement which is the number of times a punter must use bonus money before being able to withdraw cash.
A wager-free casino is a bonus offer that does not come with wagering requirements for withdrawal of money. They either come as no deposit bonuses or as wager-free spins.
No Wagering means that the bonuses or free spins offered by the Casino do not come with wagering requirements. Anything won off the bonuses and spins can be attained.
No Wagering Free Spins
These are free spins offered by an online casino as a promotional offer that can be used by punters on slots without fulfilment of wagering requirements. The con of no wagering free spins is that these are very rare and gaming operators that offer these as a part of their welcome package do not offer them in the regular promotions. As per the UKGC rules, these wager-free spins must be called free spins in order to avoid any confusion among punters. A wager-free promotion makes every bettor happy due to the ruling out of hassles presented by exorbitant wagering requirements at times. This concept is beneficial for a quicker withdrawal of winnings in a quicker and hassle-free manner.
How To Find Free Spins No Wager No Deposit Casinos?
A very few top-rated Online Sportsbooks offer free spins no wager zero deposit opportunities to the new players. One can claim his free spins while signing up and can withdraw his winnings without depositing requirements. No personal money is spent on claiming bonuses. Searching for these casinos might take time but these are worth the efforts. One has to keep a track of the features that online casinos come up with in order to choose the most beneficial Casino.
Taking full advantage of these offers is what a punter should focus on. For doing that, he must learn and understand all aspects of the offer.
Pros of no wager free spins include :
- No wagering is required, direct wins are established
- Winning amounts paid in cash and not bonus money
- Games can be tested for free
- Offered at top-rated online casinos only
Cons of no wager free spins include :
- Has time limits
- Winnings are capped
- Spins are fewer than the ones with wagering requirements
- Not available at all online casino platforms
- One might be restricted to focusing on slot games
Concluding Thoughts
For getting the maximum out of the free spins no wager bonus, a punter must choose a reliable casino platform holding a regulated license. Checking the activation period of these offers is important to get the maximum benefit out of them. Choosing a preferred payment method to withdraw eligible bonuses is important. E-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller are excluded from receiving any bonuses. Thus, it is totally fine to be contemplating the choice of these offers. Free spins that come without compulsory wagering requirements are considered to be the fairest bonuses at online casinos since earning more and spending less is never a bad choice if done cautiously.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In recent days, President Joe Biden has sharpened his attacks against Donald Trump and the so-called MAGA Republicans for posing a threat to democracy. He’s likened the philosophy undergirding the dominant strain of the modern-day GOP to “semi-fascism.”
And Democrats are taking notice.
The gloves-off, no-holds-barred approach from Biden as of late has emboldened Democrats across the country, rallying the party faithful ahead of the November elections even as his harshest rhetoric makes some vulnerable incumbents visibly uncomfortable.
At a Democratic National Committee meeting in Maryland Thursday night, Biden said, “Extreme MAGA Republicans just don’t threaten our personal and economic rights, they embrace political violence,” referencing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
“They refuse to accept the will of the people,” he said. “They threaten our very democracy.”
Biden’s increasingly stark warnings about Trump-fueled elements of the Republican Party are making up the core part of his midterm message, combined with repeated reminders to voters about recent Democratic accomplishments and a promise that democracy can still produce results for the American people. But it’s the blistering statements from Biden about his predecessor and adherents of the “Make America Great Again” philosophy that have given many Democrats a bolt of fresh energy as they campaign to keep control of Congress.
“It’s a particularly strong issue for our base,” said Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, who leads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of Senate Democrats. “Folks want us, want people to show that there is a clear contrast in the election between where Democrats are and Republicans have been.”
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., noted that “politics is somewhat like a team sport, and the president is the quarterback.”
“The team is not going to fight hard if they don’t see the team leader fighting hard,” said Khanna, who backed Bernie Sanders during the 2020 presidential primaries but has since been a vocal liberal defender of Biden.
Biden’s forceful campaign-year posture comes as Democrats are feeling more optimistic about the midterms, when the party controlling the White House has historically faced losses in Congress. A combination of legislative accomplishments, polarizing Republican candidates and voter fury stoked by the overturning of Roe vs. Wade have Democrats feeling they could see smaller losses in the House than initially anticipated, while retaining their barebones majority in the Senate.
The president began road-testing his midterm message at a rally in the Washington suburbs late last month, as he railed against a Republican ideology that he said largely resembled “semi-fascism.” The White House chose Philadelphia’s Independence Hall as the backdrop for last week’s address that outlined the danger that Trump’s “extreme ideology” posed to the functioning of U.S. democracy.
And in a pair of Labor Day events in critical midterm battlegrounds, Biden continued to hammer the contrast while becoming even more comfortable in invoking his predecessor, whom he had avoided referring to by name for much of his presidency.
“You can’t call yourself a democracy when you don’t, in fact, count the votes that people legitimately cast and count that as what you are,” Biden said Monday in front of a union crowd in Pittsburgh. “Trump and the MAGA Republicans made their choice. We can choose to build a better America or we can continue down this sliding path of oblivion to where we don’t want to go.”
Biden will headline an event Friday in Ohio, a state where the Senate contest between Democrat Tim Ryan and Republican J.D. Vance is becoming increasingly competitive.
Those close to Biden say the president has never shied away from a political fight.
“He’s always made the case very aggressively when he thinks the other side is wrong,” said Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who has known Biden since the 1980s. “I think he’s always tried to lift up the country and tried to appeal to our better angels while at the same time, making the case for when he thinks the other side is on the wrong track.”
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said issues of democracy, as well as Trump himself, are increasingly becoming topics of concern for voters.
“More and more people are feeling that, you know, this former president broke the law over and over and over again, and people around him are still doing his bidding to undermine our democracy,” she said. Stabenow commended Biden’s recent approach, noting that “threats are only going up, not down.”
Still, the sharper-edged posture from Biden has been more complicated for Democrats competing in some of the most contested Senate races this cycle, as they seek to attract support from voters who may have backed Trump in 2020.
While she stressed that she has “concerns about attacks on our democracy,” Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., said in an interview with WMUR News 9 in New Hampshire that “I think President Biden’s comments just painted with way too broad a brush.” Hassan is considered one of the party’s most vulnerable incumbents, although she won’t know her Republican challenger until the state’s Sept. 13 primaries.
Asked about those same Biden remarks, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., told The Associated Press that he hadn’t seen them.
“I think a president has a right to give his opinion,” added Kelly, who is facing Republican Blake Masters in one of the most closely watched Senate contests this fall. “You know, I don’t share all of his opinions. But he has a right to give his opinion.”
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said he didn’t like the phrase “semi-fascism,” calling it “awkward.”
“But are they leaning toward fascism? Certainly,” Durbin said. “When you deny the results of an election, when you’re talking about mobs in the street taking over, I mean, that to me is not consistent with democratic values.”
Republicans have accused Biden of divisive rhetoric in his string of speeches, particularly with his Philadelphia address. They say the president has tagged tens of millions of Americans who supported Trump as threats to democracy, although both the president and his aides have been careful to distinguish elected officials from voters themselves.
GOP officials still believe Biden remains a liability in competitive districts and states, although his approval ratings have brightened somewhat in recent weeks as the White House notched a series of achievements and as Trump’s legal troubles — starting with the FBI search of his southern Florida estate — have dominated headlines.
“I hope Biden keeps going around the country,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said in a Fox News interview Tuesday night. “I hope he goes to every swing state and gives his raving lunatic speech everywhere around the country.”
Yet in those swing states, more Democrats who had initially shied away from joining Biden are increasingly comfortable in doing so. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat who is in one of the most closely contested gubernatorial races nationwide, joined Biden in Milwaukee on Monday, although Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes stayed away.
After avoiding other presidential visits to the state, Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman, a Democrat, appeared with Biden in Pittsburgh.
Peters, the DSCC chairman, said it was up to each Democratic candidate to decide whether to appear alongside Biden, but said he believed the president was an asset. Peters noted that he was the sole Democratic candidate in 2014 to actively campaign with President Barack Obama during a midterm year heavily favorable to Republicans.
“Everyone ran away. I had him come in, and I won,” Peters said. “So that’s my data point.”

On Wednesday (Sept. 7), social media was buzzing when the official Ukraine Ministry of Defense Twitter account quoted a Pusha T rhyme to announce the kind of damage they’ve inflicted on invading Russian forces, and now King Push has responded to the famous tweet.
Hours after the Defense of Ukraine Twitter account wrote “I put numbers on the boards” and broke down exactly how many Russian tanks, jets, and helicopters they took down, Pusha T retweeted their post and simply stated “Great taste in music for the win…”
Y’all know Drake somewhere a tad bit jealous that Ukraine didn’t quote any of his many hits.
It was a bit surprising to learn that Ukraine was familiar with Pusha T much less a lyric from his 2013 cut, “Numbers On The Board.” What we do know is that earlier this year, former U.S. Navy specialist in Naval Cryptology, Malcolm Nance went to Ukraine to help them in their efforts to combat invading Russian military forces, so maybe he was the one to put them on to Pusha T songs? Just sayin.’
Regardless of how Ukraine personnel got hip to one-half of The Clipse, it should be interesting to see if Vladimir Putin jumps out the window and bans Pusha T from Russia as he just recently banned actors Ben Stiller and Sean Penn for their criticism of his military invasion. While Pusha didn’t exactly weigh in on the political aspects of the current war overseas, just siding with Ukraine in any way might get you banned from Putin’s Mother Russia.
Who knows, maybe the Russian military Twitter account will quote a Drake lyric just to clap back at Push. Yes, they can be that petty.
What do y’all think of the whole Pusha T/Ukraine situation? Let us know in the comments section below.

Fallen marine honored by golf fundraiser for children
By Lakyn McGee
Click here for updates on this story
NOBLESVILLE, Indiana (WISH) — The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation will honor Corporal Humberto Sanchez who was killed in a bombing attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan in 2021.
Kevin Rankel, a member of the Marine Corp, said the event is on track to raise $100,000 in scholarship money for children of marines.
Rankel told News 8 he approached the Sanchez family because he has a similar story to them.
“In 2011, the first year this initiative started, the honoree was my son. He was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010. We liked what we saw, and we continued to be involved. It’s been a great experience for us just because we’ve been able to hook up with other gold star families,” explained Rankel.
Since 2007, Tyler Mensch, another Marine Corp member, said he’s helped organize events honoring fallen marines.
“It’s been heartwarming and impressive for 15 years to see how people will come together to put this thing on. It’s about using networks and it’s about communicating what we’re trying to do and providing this opportunity,” Mensch said. “Once you provide it, you’d be amazed how it comes together.”
Sanchez, originally from Logansport, was the first in his family to be born in the United States and serve in the U.S. military.
Rankel said 72 different teams will honor Sanchez at Pebble Brook Golf Club in Noblesville.
The event starts at 11:30 a.m.

Diana famously complained in a bombshell BBC television interview in 1995 that "there were three of us in this marriage" -- her, Charles and Camilla, his long-time lover.
She even reportedly called her love rival a "rottweiler".
After Diana died in a Paris car crash in 1997, Charles and Camilla gradually began to appear together in public and in time became accepted as a couple.
They married in 2005 and she, over time, won plaudits as the future king's loyal wife.
The couple were seen side-by-side as they looked at flowers left by mourners for Charles' father Prince Philip.
The popular Netflix series "The Crown", charting the lives of Britain's most famous family, albeit with a heavy dose of artistic licence, rekindled interest in their affair.
Charles was portrayed as very much in the driver's seat, pursuing the older Camilla, played by Oscar-winning writer, director and actress Emerald Fennell.
In real life Camilla has carved out her own role, participating in the Booker literary prize ceremony and even the final of television ballroom dancing talent contest "Strictly Come Dancing".
She campaigns to raise awareness of osteoporosis -- a condition from which her mother, Rosalind, suffered -- and has an Instagram book club.
Marking 70 years on the throne earlier this year, the queen announced she hoped Camilla would be known as Queen Consort when Charles becomes king, resolving a long debate over her future title.
A YouGov poll in May 2022 found only 20 percent would like to see her become "queen", while 39 percent favoured the title of "Princess Consort".
YouGov ranked Camilla as the eighth most popular royal in the second three months of 2022, with 40 percent viewing her positively.

Albert Pujols doesn't need 700 home runs. That just makes the chase even sweeter
My therapist thinks I need to care less about external validation. I think that’s a nice enlightened aspiration, but kinda pathologizes being a person. (I mean, really, who doesn’t care about external validation?) It seems particularly unattainable for anyone working in a public entertainment space. But I suppose in this one respect, Albert Pujols is more successful than I am.
As soon as he returned to the St. Louis Cardinals on a one-year contract in spring, Pujols announced that it would be a farewell tour: He intended to retire after the 2022 season. During a decade in Anaheim, the greatest hitter of an earlier generation had slipped into relative obscurity, but a compelling stint with the Dodgers in the second half earned him the opportunity to go out on his own terms — just as he had told ESPN he hoped to do.
The reunion has gone better than anyone could have anticipated. Not only are the Cardinals likely postseason-bound, Pujols has thrived as a mentor and in his platoon role, posting his best offensive numbers since he last played in St. Louis. So good, in fact, that in his 22nd season Pujols finds himself chasing 700 home runs, with a real chance to get there.
Currently at 695 through the Cardinals’ 138 games, he’s come close enough to joining the exclusive club — only Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds have cleared that threshold — that people have started to wonder: Will he really retire? What if he’s really, really close to 700?
“I’m still going to retire, no matter whether I end up hitting 693, 696, 700, whatever,’’ Pujols told USA TODAY Sports, back when he was at 692. “No, I’ve had enough. I’m glad I made the announcement this was it when I signed. Really, I wouldn’t change a thing.’’
I thought of those comments again recently when Serena Williams said of her US Open performance after announcing her intent to retire from tennis, "I'm just Serena, you know. I don't have anything to prove. I have absolutely nothing to lose."
How special it is, and rare I’d imagine, to feel such contentment in the twilight of the kind of career that usually ends when your body betrays your abilities. It’s all but impossible to go out on top; most athletes retire as shells of their peak selves.
Pujols has accomplished more than enough to feel proud, to feel confident that his last game will be no more than five years away from his induction into the Hall of Fame. You can’t not care about the accolades as a professional athlete. But maybe you can have enough of the individual ones — enough MVP awards (3), Silver Sluggers (6), Gold Gloves (2), fielding bibles (5), Hank Aaron Awards (2), Roberto Clemente Awards (1), Rookie of the Year awards (1), All-Star selections (11), batting titles (1), plus a couple of World Series rings — that the pursuit of more no longer outweighs a personal accounting of your own priorities.
Maybe self satisfaction isn’t inversely proportional to success.
What’s so wonderful about Pujols’ chase of 700 is that it has turned his final season into a fitting celebratory capstone to the career that made him famous before it made him an awkward lingering testament to all that he no longer was. In the past few weeks that he plays major league baseball, his at-bats will be appointment viewing, his cumulative stature in the sport again a national conversation.
And it’s the uncertainty that makes it so exciting. The confluence of his talent, age and time left until St. Louis’ season ends creates a compelling source of suspense and potential. It’s right on the line between possible and probable. We knew this would be the end before we knew he would slug over .500 on the season and play productively enough to play enough to just maybe hit 21 more. Which meant that when he got hot after the Home Run Derby and hit eight in the month of August, there was already a ticking clock hanging over it all. That’s how all good hunts should be, it’s why we lump Pujols in with Aaron Judge’s similarly historic home run pursuit.
Milestones, unlike records, are more likely to be met with enough time. Perhaps Pujols has played well enough to merit a chance to come back next season to go the final mile or two it takes to clear the nice round number. But it wouldn’t have nearly the same magic if it was all but assured, cheapened just a little when it was no longer a true chase and more of a ceremonial send-off. Pujols doesn’t need that. His career has been incredible whether he finishes with 700 home runs or somewhere just short. It will never be better than watching him take meaningful swings so close to the end, and to know he feels satisfied no matter what.

The death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II on September 8 led to an outpouring of grief across the world. She was the country's longest-reigning monarch -- a constant presence in a fast-changing world.
Here is how her passing was headlined by newspapers:

The newspaper put on its front page a moving quote from the Queen, which some on social media said will be cemented in history with the monarch.
The Guardian used a photograph from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
The Financial Times
On the frontpage of the British daily was photo of the Queen attending the state opening of the parliament in 1971.
Daily Mail
"Our hearts are broken", Daily Mail wrote on its cover dedicated to the Queen.
USA Today
The American daily chose for its front page a portrait of the Queen from 1954, a year after her coronation.
The Mirror
An expression of gratefulness to the Queen, on The Mirror's front page.
The Herald Scotland
The Glasgow-based newspaper's tribute to the Queen:
TIME Magazine
The premier magazine remembered the Queen with a commemorative cover.
The National Post
The Canadian newspaper created a sketch of the Queen to headline its 12-page coverage of her death.
Spanish newspapers also readied covers as tributes to Queen Elizabeth II
Elizabeth II was crowned queen at the age of 25, after the death of her father King George VI. She ruled for 70 years -- a reign longer than any other monarch in history of Britain.
After her death, her eldest son, Prince Charles, will become the king.

It's time to dust off the jacket of your favorite book.
Dating back to 1967, International Literacy Day (ILD) celebrations have taken place annually around the world to remind the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights.
These efforts are in place to advance the literacy agenda towards a more literate and substantial society.
Tuesday, September 8, 2022 marked International Literacy Day as the fundamental importance of literacy has taken on new meaning over the years in our society.
This year’s International Literacy Day will be celebrated worldwide under the theme, "Transforming Literacy Learning Spaces" and will be an opportunity to rethink the fundamental importance of literacy learning spaces to build resilience and ensure quality, equitable, and inclusive education for all.
According to UNESCO, in the aftermath of the pandemic, nearly 24 million learners might never return to formal education, out of which, 11 million are projected to be girls and young women.
In order to ensure tat no one is left behind, a call to action has been centered around enriching and transforming the existing learning spaces through an integrated approach and enable literacy learning in the perspective of lifelong learning.
To make sense of the world,
— UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳😷 (@UNESCO) September 5, 2022
to think critically and creatively,
to fully participate in society,
...we need literacy!
8 September is #LiteracyDay.

More than 350 rural health experts are meeting in Christchurch as the first National Rural Health Conference, hosted by Hauora Taiwhenua Rural Health Network, gets underway.
The new health entity was launched in July, and the conference will offer rural health experts the opportunity to have their say on what it should prioritise.
Hauora Taiwhenua chief executive Dr Grant Davidson said rural health workers were under immense pressure.

Advertise with NZME."The rural workforce is the number one issue, without a workforce, we don't have a health system, so that's the first thing," he said.
"Managing after hours and emergency care as the second priority, because our people are working 24/7, and with a reduced workforce, that's becoming even more unsustainable.
"And then with the new health reforms coming in, how can we make use of these locality frameworks to ensure that things like workforce funding are at the right levels?"
Davidson said attendees would also be able to contribute to the co-design of rural health workforce training and education, an after-hours and urgent care Telehealth Service.
He said the conference would be used as a platform to come up with solutions to offer up to the government's new health entity.
"For the first time ever, we've managed to get rural communities acknowledged as a priority population group under the new legislation.
"That means these new entities are going to have to be accountable for health outcomes in those rural areas, and they say that they're looking at innovative solutions and new ways forward.
"So, we're going to be there with some solutions to put to them.

Advertise with NZME."We're really hoping that this is the start of a new future for rural health."
Speakers at the conference include Riana Manuel, Te Aka Whai Ora chief executive Dr Sven Hansen, founder of The Resilience Institute, and Dr Ihirangi Heke speaking on Te Ao Māori concepts and approaches to health and wellbeing.
Associate Minister for Health (Māori) Peeni Henare will open the conference.

Iga Swiatek stated that she used the bathroom break to compose herself and think of a winning strategy to overcome Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open semifinals on Thursday night.
Swiatek lost the first set but fought back to beat Sabalenka 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in two hours and 11 minutes at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. She is through to her third career Grand Slam final, her second of the season, and first outside the clay courts at Roland Garros.
Speaking after the win, the World No. 1 was asked about the importance of the bathroom break, which saw her return to the court with renewed focus and zest. The Pole stated that she used the break because she needed to, before apologizing for oversharing.
"It's more what I did [during the bathroom break]. Okay, sorry about that. I kind of needed to go. Yeah, well, for sure I felt lighter. Sorry, that’s disgusting," she said, making everyone laugh.
She then explained that she used the time to think of a way past the Belarusian, before saying that her younger self would have probably spent the time crying about the result.
"I tried to use that time to really try to think about what to change. Because I remember earlier when I was younger, all I did in the bathroom between sets when I lost was cry, this time I can actually think about what to change and actually problem solve. I am pretty glad that I did that because I just had a new idea for the second set and that's great," she said.
"I feel like I just played on another level" - Iga Swiatek
Expanding on how her contest with Aryna Sabalenka played out, Iga Swiatek said that she tried to make sure her first serve was on point as the Belarusian was attacking her second serve to put pressure on the top seed.
"Well, honestly, I think [I] just tried to put the first serve in because she was really aggressive on a second serve. So she was putting pressure on me and I realized that even though in second set I broke her couple of times it's gonna be tough because she can serve well and I feel like she did progress with her. I needed to really be careful and even though I lost the first game I just had hope," she said.
The 21-year-old said that she was not expecting to break her opponent as Sabalenka was on the money with her serve.
"Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much from myself because as I said Aryna is a great server so I wasn't sure if I'm gonna break her back but I feel like I just played on another level, so that's great," she explained.
Iga Swiatek will face fifth seed Ons Jabeur in Saturday’s women’s singles final, after the Tunisian beat Caroline Garcia 6-1, 6-3 in the other semifinal.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II adjust sound and ANC by ear measurement in fractions of a second. Market launch is at the end of September.
They have become small, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II. However, the more exciting innovations cannot be seen, but they should be audible. Bose equips the in-ear headphones with a new technology called CustomTune, which automatically adjusts the sound and noise canceling to the ear. The market launch of the 300-euro in-ears in Germany has been announced for the end of September. We could already listen to them briefly.
The calibration and sound adjustment of the QC Earbuds II is fully automatic, and in fractions of a second. And every time you take the earbuds out of the charging case and put them in your ear. To do this, the in-ears play a tone and measure the frequency response with a microphone directed into the ear canal in order to individually adapt the sound, the ANC and the transparency mode to the ear canal.
Apple also equips its AirPods Pro with a microphone directed into the ear canal. This checks the level of the middle and low frequencies and adjusts it. Other providers also measure the ear and save sound profiles, for example with a photo or, like Jabra, by checking the hearing threshold in different frequency ranges – not always with convincing results and usually not automatically with each use, but linked to user profiles.
ANC should also filter high-frequency noise
According to Bose, when developing the ANC, it paid particular attention to the suppression of frequencies that most ANC headsets have problems with, i.e. higher-frequency and suddenly occurring noise such as screaming babies or voices in the office. As a rule, ANC headphones effectively dim down even and low-frequency noise – for example the background noise in an airplane. Bose equips each earbud with four microphones, three of which are directed outwards to capture background noise and eliminate it with an opposing signal.
We were able to try the Earbuds II briefly – the ANC made a good first impression, even quiet music was enough to block out voices. A test has to show whether it is the best active noise suppression of an in-ear promised by Bose. Bose has also worked on the transparency mode and almost manages to fade in voices as clearly as if you didn’t have in-ear plugs in your ears.
Sweat resistant but not waterproof
What is particularly noticeable from the outside is how much smaller the Bose Earbuds have become compared to their predecessors. The size was one of our main criticisms of the predecessor. According to Bose, the earpieces are about a third smaller, and the manufacturer puts the weight at 6 grams per earpiece. Music playback and calls are controlled via touch-sensitive surfaces on the earpieces.
A two-part system of silicone cuffs and rubber fins that hook into the ear should ensure a firm hold even during sports. The in-ears should last six hours with one charge, and the charging and transport case brings three more charges. The headphones are sweat-resistant according to IPX4, but not waterproof. The QC Earbuds II are Bluetooth 5.3-capable, the manufacturer did not provide any information on the supported codecs. The headphones can be pre-ordered from September 8th.

(Golf European Tour/Photo) In the first two rounds of the 2022 BMW European Championship, Northern Ireland’s McIlroy will compete with England’s Matt Fitzpatrick, a new Grand Slam champion. Regarding this year’s event, the two players have different ideas.
McIlroy eager to set new record
For the Northern Ireland star McIlroy, this year’s event gives him the opportunity to set a new record – becoming the FedEx Cup and BMW European Championship double champions in the same year.
(McIlroy in preparation)
McIlroy has won the FedExCup three times and the BMW European Championship in 2014, but he has yet to win either event in the same year. Two weeks ago, McIlroy achieved one-half of that goal with a comeback in this year’s FedEx Cup. Now he’s going all out to win the BMW European Championship.
In this regard, McIlroy said frankly, “This is very important to me. I think before the end of the season, my biggest motivation is to win the BMW European Championship.”
McIlroy had a solid performance at the BMW European Championship, winning the event in 2014, in addition to three top-10 finishes.
(McIlroy interacting with young fans)
“I haven’t won this event in seven years, so I’m looking forward to winning it again.”
In this week’s game, McIlroy will also face many strong opponents. Four of the top 15 players in the official World Golf Rankings will compete with McIlroy.
“I think this week’s lineup is strong, and the Wentworth Golf Club, the venue, looks as good as ever, and I have a hunch it’s going to be a great week,” McIlroy said.
Fitzpatrick returns home
As one of McIlroy’s potential rivals, new U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick of England will also play at the BMW European Championships this week.
(Fitzpatrick, who won the U.S. Open)
It was Fitzpatrick’s first return to England after winning the U.S. Open. He was also warmly welcomed by local fans when he returned to his hometown.
“I was really surprised how many people came to see me at the Pro-Am. Maybe more people came to me for autographs and photos this year than in previous years, which for me was kind of a A whole new experience. After my win at the U.S. Open, I was very positive about how people reacted to it and what happened next. I’m so grateful to those who congratulated me.”
(Fitzpatrick in preparation)
Of course, Fitzpatrick’s goal is to have a good performance this week. “I like to play here, I like to play on this course, and I can experience every aspect of the game here. The field is a little soft now, so Hopefully it gets dry. I know the weather forecast is expecting a little precipitation for the next few days. But I have my family and a lot of friends on the sidelines cheering me on, so it’s going to be a good week.”Return to Sohu, see more

Cybersecurity
Rethinking Responsible Disclosure for Cryptocurrency Security
The Biden administration has pointed, with alarm, to the national security implications of both cybersecurity and cryptocurrency. It’s just a matter of time before the government begins worrying about their intersection—cryptocurrency security. All of the United States’ international adversaries are in the business of exploiting bad cybersecurity, and many of them monetize their exploits using cryptocurrency. There’s nothing more natural for North Korean state hackers, Russian organized crime, or partially privatized cyberspies in China and Iran than to steal cryptocurrency to finance their national security operations. They’ll find an open door; because, as bad as overall cybersecurity is, the security of cryptocurrency is worse.
You only have to follow cryptocurrency news casually to be struck by the size and frequency of cryptocurrency security failures. That’s not your imagination, or press bias. Cryptocurrency really does have worse security than other digital technologies, and there’s a good chance it always will.
Here’s why: In other parts of the digital economy, companies quickly patch security flaws, many of which have been found and responsibly disclosed by outside researchers. But as I’ll explain below, the “disclose-and-patch” cycle doesn’t work for cryptocurrency systems. There are ways to make disclose-and-patch work better for cryptocurrencies, but they will require compromises, institutional innovation, and maybe even new laws. That’s a tall order, but until it happens, cryptocurrency security will never match even the low security standard set by other digital technologies.
How Responsible Disclosure Works
Software security flaws like these are ubiquitous in digital products. Like writers who can’t see their own typos, most coders have trouble seeing how their software can be misused. The security flaws in their work are usually found by others, often years later. Indeed, security researchers are still finding serious holes in Windows today—30 years after it became the world’s dominant operating system.
Companies like Microsoft have improved their products’ security by making peace with those researchers. There was a time when software producers treated independent security research as immoral and maybe illegal. But those days are mostly gone, thanks to rough agreement between the producers and the researchers on the rules of “responsible disclosure.” Under those rules, researchers disclose the bugs they find “responsibly”—that is, only to the company, and in time for it to quietly develop a patch before black hat hackers find and exploit the flaw. Responsible disclosure and patching greatly improves the security of computer systems, which is why most software companies now offer large “bounties” to researchers who find and report security flaws in their products.
That hasn’t exactly brought about a golden age of cybersecurity, but we’d be in much worse shape without the continuous improvements made possible by responsible disclosure.
And that’s the problem for cryptocurrency. Responsible disclosure just won’t work there, at least not as it’s traditionally been understood.
Cryptocurrency Recovery
I began thinking about this problem in a very different context: cryptocurrency recovery. That’s the business of unlocking wallets for people who’ve lost access to the passwords, private keys, hardware, or software they originally used to secure their funds. Restoring access to such wallets will be a growth business over time, for two reasons.
First, the market for those services is growing. The press is already full of stories about people losing access to their cryptocurrency wallets. That’s because people make security a top priority when they store virtual assets. They realize that, in general, anyone who knows their password, seed, or private key has complete access to their funds. So they choose passwords that are hard to guess (and thus hard to remember!) and they are reluctant to write them down. Then, over time, fading memory, or maybe unexpected disability or death, puts the funds out of reach.
At the same time, gaining access to such funds gets easier every year. The hardware and software that was used to secure the assets is frozen in time, but security research is not. As Bruce Schneier reminds us, attacks on security “always get better, they never get worse.” So security researchers have a better chance every year of finding the hole that will unlock an address, a wallet, or a piece of hardware.
That’s good news for people who’ve locked themselves out and good news for those who can get them back in. But what about users who were counting on that security to protect their assets? Much of their security is also frozen in time. The software they used to create their wallet, and the hardware they locked it away in, have been aging, perhaps badly, ever since.
Why Responsible Disclosure Isn’t Working for Cryptocurrency
Why can’t the cryptocurrency industry solve the problem the way the software and hardware industries do, by patching and updating security as flaws are found? Two reasons: First, many customers don’t have an ongoing relationship with the hardware and software providers that protect their funds—nor do they have an incentive to update security on a regular basis. Turning to a new security provider or using updated software creates risks; leaving everything the way it was feels safer. So users won’t be rushing to pay for and install new security patches.
Second, cryptocurrency is famously and deliberately decentralized, anonymized, and low friction. That means that the company responsible for hardware or software security may have no way to identify who used its product, or to get the patch to those users. It also means that many wallets with security flaws will be publicly accessible, protected only by an elaborate password. Once word of the flaw leaks, the password can be reverse engineered by anyone, and the legitimate owners are likely to find themselves in a race to move their assets before the thieves do. Even in the software industry, hackers routinely reverse engineer Microsoft’s patches to find the security flaws they fix and then try to exploit them before the patches have been fully installed.
In the cryptocurrency market, that kind of exploitation is nearly guaranteed and in short order—as happened in two public incidents in August. In one, hackers took nearly $200 million from Nomad, a blockchain “bridge” for converting and transferring cryptocurrencies. One user began exploiting a flaw in Nomad’s smart contract code. That tipped others to the exploit. Soon, a feeding frenzy broke out, quickly draining the bridge of all available funds. In the other incident, Solana, a cryptocurrency platform, saw hackers drain several million dollars from nearly 8,000 wallets, probably by compromising the security of their seed phrases, thus gaining control of the wallets.
Together, these problems make responsible disclosure largely unworkable. It’s rarely possible to fill a security hole quietly. Rather, any patch is likely to be reverse engineered when it’s released and exploited in a frenzy of looting before it can be widely deployed. (This is not a new observation; the problem was pointed out in a 2020 ACM article that deserves more attention.)
If I’m right, this is a fundamental flaw in cryptocurrency security. It means that hacks and mass theft will be endemic, no matter how hard the industry works on security, because the responsible disclosure model for curing new security flaws simply won’t work.
Is it possible to make responsible disclosure work in cryptocurrency? Maybe, but not easily. I’m still thinking through the issues, but here are two potential solutions, which I offer with only modest confidence.
Centralized Security
There are some companies that can play a role in cryptocurrency security similar to that played by Microsoft, Apple, and Google in consumer software. A big exchange that knows a lot about its customers and controls the software they use to access their wallets can quietly prepare and swiftly implement measures to protect those funds.
That’s worth doing, but any effort to centralize security for cryptocurrency will face roadblocks. First, even exchanges protecting current clients will need terms of service that allow them to modify their customers’ accounts—and perhaps take them offline—to provide that protection. They’ll need to find a way to compensate both themselves and the researchers who find the flaws for this added work. This will be harder to do in the cryptocurrency space, where they’ll be swimming against a deep-seated libertarian resistance to centralization. And even if they succeed, many security flaws will be beyond an exchange’s ability to mitigate.
Decentralized Rescue
There is a decentralized approach to responsible disclosure, but it will require new laws, or at least a new view of current law.
The Nomad hack illustrates what might be called the decentralized “rescue” of compromised wallets. The company noticed that some of the people exploiting the flaw said they were doing it to protect the assets. It issued a public appeal to “white hat hackers and ethical researcher friends” to send any funds they rescued to a wallet created for that purpose. It further sweetened the pot by offering a 10 percent bounty for returned funds and promising not to pursue legal actions against those who returned funds. So far, the company reports that $32 million of the $190 million that was stolen has been returned. This is becoming a recognized industry practice. In 2017, the “White Hat Group” responded to the theft of $32 million in Ethereum by draining $60 million more from vulnerable wallets and then returning it. Last year, Poly Networks was able to recover some $600 million in assets by offering a kind of retroactive bug bounty in the amount of $500,000—a bargain at 0.1 percent of the original loss—and promising not to press charges.
I wish that I thought this trend would continue on its own, but cryptocurrency rescuers are taking big legal risks. As one observer noted, “[E]ven if you give it back, stealing more than a half a billion dollars is a crime any way you look at it.” Hackers without a smudge on their hats will still have to wonder whether prosecutors will suspect that their rescue was just a theft gone wrong. Worse, it’s not always going to be clear who the rescued funds should be returned to. If there are multiple claimants, the rescuer ends up having to adjudicate those claims, with both parties threatening to sue if the decision goes against them. Finally, even if the rescuer correctly identifies the true owner, there is a nontrivial risk that the owner will turn out to be a criminal or even a party sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, meaning that the rescuer runs a risk of prosecution not just for taking the funds but for also giving them back.
To reassure good-faith rescuers, legal and financial incentives need to be more systematic and much more certain. Maybe what’s needed is an independent party willing to set up a cryptocurrency wallet into which rescuers could drop rescued funds. (If the wallet is created by the Justice Department, it could reassure rescuers that deposits would make prosecution unlikely. It could also identify (and vet) people claiming ownership. Finally, to be candid, it really should find a way to institutionalize the bounty payment.) We’d see a lot more cryptocurrency rescues if rescuers were rewarded like security researchers in the software ecosystem.
To raise cryptocurrency security even close to the (unimpressive) level achieved by the software industry, responsible disclosure needs to work in a brand new context. Maybe “responsible rescue” is the answer.
At least for now, I don’t have a better one.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden wants to put the spotlight on a rare bipartisan down payment on U.S. manufacturing when he visits Ohio on Friday for the groundbreaking of a new Intel computer chip facility.
Biden heads to suburban Columbus to take a victory lap just as voters in the state are starting to tune in to a closely contested Senate race between Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan and Republican author and venture capital executive JD Vance. They're competing in a former swing state that has trended Republican over the last decade.
Intel had delayed groundbreaking on the $20 billion plant until Congress passed the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act. Both Ryan and Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who is facing Democrat Nan Whaley in his reelection bid, plan to be at Friday's groundbreaking.
In his State of the Union address last March, Biden envisioned the Intel plant as a model for a U.S. economy that revolves around technology, factories and the middle class. The plant speaks to how the president is trying to revive American manufacturing nationwide, including in states that are solidly Republican or political toss-ups.
Chipmaker Micron committed $15 billion for a factory in Idaho, Corning will build an optical fiber facility in Arizona and First Solar plans to construct its fourth solar panel plant in the Southeast, all announcements that stemmed from Biden administration initiatives.
Factory work is one of the few issues going into November's midterm elections that has crossover appeal at a time when issues such as abortion, inflation and the nature of democracy have dominated the contest to control Congress.
Ryan had largely been hesitant to share a stage with Biden, as appearing with the country's top Democrat could hurt his chances in a state that backed Republican Donald Trump by eight points in both 2016 and 2020.
Ryan skipped the president’s July 6 visit to Cleveland to plug his administration’s efforts to shore up troubled pension programs for blue-collar workers. Biden nonetheless referred to him as the “future Senator Tim Ryan” and thanked him for his “incredible work” on the legislation.
The Youngstown-area congressman committed to appearing with Biden this week because of the importance of the Intel facility in a state that has long defined itself through its factories, mills and working-class sensibilities.
“This is a huge opportunity,” Ryan told CNN on Sunday. “The CHIPS Act that we passed is all about reshoring high-end manufacturing jobs.”
Yet in a Thursday TV interview with Youngstown's WFMJ on the eve of Biden's visit, Ryan said he is “campaigning as an independent.” When asked if Biden should seek a second term, Ryan said, “My hunch is that we need new leadership across the board, Democrats, Republicans, I think it's time for like a generational move.”
The open Senate seat in Ohio, currently held by the retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman, is one of several hotly contested races that could determine whether Democrats can hold their slim majority in the chamber for the second half of Biden's term.
Several Democrats in competitive races have at moments sought to maintain some distance from Biden, whose public approval ratings have ticked up in recent weeks but remain underwater.
A spokesman said DeWine also plans to attend the groundbreaking, making him among the few Republicans on the ballot this year who are willing to share a stage with the president. Biden has in recent weeks said that extremist Republican lawmakers who refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election are a threat to democracy, a charge that has only intensified partisan tensions with control of the House and the Senate on the line.
Vance, the Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, hailed the Intel plant in a statement at as “a great bipartisan victory” for the state. He specifically applauded the “hard work” of GOP lawmakers including DeWine and Portman, but Vance pointedly made no mention of Biden.
The shortage of semiconductors has plagued the U.S. and global economies. It cut into production of autos, household appliances and other goods in ways that fueled high inflation, while creating national security risks as the U.S. recognized its dependence on Asia for chip production.
The mix of high prices and long waits for basic goods has left many Americans feeling disgruntled about Biden's economic leadership, a political weakness that has lessened somewhat as gasoline prices have fallen and many voters have grown concerned about the loss of abortion protections after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
The new law would provide $28 billion in incentives for semiconductor production, $10 billion for new manufacturing of chips and $11 billion for research and development. The funding follows similar efforts by Europe and China to accelerate chip production, which political leaders see as essential for competing economically and militarily.
Biden has pitched the legislation as a “once-in-a-generation investment in America” that could reduce U.S. dependence on Taiwan and South Korea at a time when China is seeking to expand its presence across Asia and its shipping lanes.
Lawmakers crafted the semiconductor investments to favor areas outside the wealthier coastal cities where tech dominates. That means change will be coming to the Ohio city of New Albany, where the Intel plant is being constructed, as well as nearby Johnstown.
Don Harvey, a sporting goods store owner and longtime Johnstown resident, likes the idea of a company making things again in the United States, and also providing potentially high-paying jobs for his five grandchildren down the road. Intel has said pay will average $135,000 for its 3,000 Ohio workers.
“What an opportunity in my eyes for Ohio and the United States as a whole,” said the 63-year-old Harvey.
Elyse Priest lives in a subdivision just up the road from the plant, and received a firsthand taste of the construction recently as she watched a huge cloud of dust roll up from the 1,000-acre site currently being leveled. Priest, 38, also knows the road-widening and added traffic will affect her commute to downtown Columbus where she works as a legal assistant.
“I’m concerned about losing the small town feel I’ve always had and loved about Johnstown,” Priest said. “But I know it’s going to be a greater good for the whole state.”

‘Who cares what gender I am?’: Inside the extravagant world of a rare male soprano
Samuel Mariño is that extremely rare thing: a male soprano. Descriptions of his voice range from transportive and sublime to stupendous.
The 28-year-old Venezualan-born, Paris and Berlin-based singer is in Australia to perform with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, singing arias from the 17th and 18th centuries in a program of works by Handel, Vivaldi, Hasse and Porpora.
Even so, Mariño grew up with pop music and loves singing contemporary stuff, like Michael Jackson and Britney Spears, not that he’s done it professionally: the most recent work he has sung is West Side Story, in which he played Maria. “It’s very important to me the poetry and the lyrics that I am singing in that moment, I try to not live isolated from society ... so I really try to relate my concerts and what I am singing to what is happening in the world.”
As well as his extraordinary voice, Mariño is known for his extravagant outfits; his luggage coming here weighed 65 kilograms. A huge fan of fashion – it’s a passion he’d like to get hands on with at some stage – he also wants to create a spectacle in his performances. “I work really hard to make a great show – and when I say show, I mean show. I grew up with pop music, I get a lot of inspiration by pop artists. Why in opera can we not do concerts like that?”
He and Paul Dyer, artistic director of the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, have collaborated with this idea in mind: “We’re doing our best to do something different.”
At 13, when his voice half-broke, he was told by a doctor that surgery could address the issue – or he could try his luck as an opera singer. His mother suggested the latter and he has never looked back.
As a result, he has been able to perform works written for the castrati, the boys who were castrated before puberty in the mid-1500s in Europe so they could achieve ultra-high notes. Popular in churches and courts, the golden age of the castrati was the 17th and 18th centuries when they became the superstars of opera. The practice was finally outlawed in Italy in 1861.
The monstrous practice had a range of other effects on their body: the lack of testosterone meant their bones didn’t harden and so grew very long – they ended up being very tall and having extra long ribcages, which allowed them to hold notes for uncommon lengths of time.
Often described as gender-defying, Mariño says he aims to inspire and unite beyond gender lines. “To me, it’s more about different communities, Latinos, white, black, wherever you are from, everyone can identify with this music, that’s what I want.
“I don’t read that often what people write about me, they write so much about gender. Who cares what gender I am, I really don’t care. People ask me what are my pronouns, he/she/they/them, I’m like whatever, it’s fine,” he says. “For some people, it’s important and I respect that, but to me really it’s not a big deal.
“In Spanish we say, ‘I am not a piece of gold to be liked by everyone’. I like that,” he says. “I don’t want to please everyone, I want people to have reactions.”
His speaking voice, like his singing voice, is high-pitched and he was bullied continually at school, both for it and for his homosexuality. He started playing piano at six and then started ballet as a teen, which instilled in him a love for classical music, particularly Tchaikovsky. “I want to invite people to be as fascinated by it as I was when I was 15.”
This year, Decca released Mariño’s second album, Sopranista, the first album to feature a male soprano singing arias that are more commonly performed by female voices. His next release will be vastly different, focussed on “who I really am”.
“It will be much more than classical music,” he adds. “I haven’t decided everything that I would love to do but I want to make some collaborations, not only classical, pushing the walls. It’s just music, why do we have to make all these big walls.”
Beyonce and Lady Gaga are two artists he would most love to work with. “Some people are on the top of my list but in Venezuela we say, if you want something, don’t mention it!”
What is it about his voice that transports people, I wonder. “It’s the first time somebody has asked me something like that. To be honest, I am transported too, I am not myself, I don’t know what is my name or whatever. I don’t know if it’s my voice that is transportive,” he says. “Singing takes me out of myself. I think that’s why I sing so much, all the time. I want to be sure everything will work and to be able to fly in my mind; I want everyone to fly with me.”
The Soprano, Samuel Mariño and the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, play Melbourne Recital Centre on September 8, September 10 and 11; and City Recital Hall, Sydney, September 14, 16, 17.

Around for 15 million years, here's what you may or may not know about oysters
Special to Jacksonville Florida Times-Union USA TODAY NETWORK
As we wind down from what has been a very hot and wet summer, we look forward to the cooler weather ahead. Labor Day signals the end of summer and the call of fall, football AND oyster roasts.
As some of you may know from previous columns, I grew up in Norfolk, Va., on the Elizabeth River and the Chesapeake Bay. Crab boils and oyster roasts were a family tradition. We had a fireplace in the backyard that was made just for oyster roasts. We never used it for hot dogs or hamburgers, maybe S’mores, but only after the oysters were gone.
We would start a fire and let the hot coals build up for several hours. There was a solid metal grill that sat on top. Once the fire had produced a sufficient pile of hot embers, one of the elders (they were all old to me at the time) would declare the pit ready. It was usually my Uncle Wesley who did the honors. He and my Uncle Marvin would argue about when the fire was ready. Uncle Wesley seemed to dominate the discussions and typically prevailed.
River Life: Oysters, 'a marvel of nature' in the St. Johns River and beyond
Restaurant review: Neptune Beach favorite Sliders Oyster Bar is back with a new look
I had noticed that my dad stayed out of these discussions. He was a very mild-mannered man who avoided conflict. It was many years later that I discovered that my dad’s family came from the Quaker Tradition and were gentle by nature. It’s a trait I see in myself with some degree of pride.
We would then dump oysters from a burlap sack onto the grill along with a little water and then cover them with that same burlap sack to let them steam. At that point, you jockeyed for position near the grill and shucked until you were nudged out of position. The longer the oyster stayed on the grill, the drier they became.
We would gradually rake the oysters toward the front, so you could begin to select the degree of “doneness” by where in the process you pulled your oyster. I still prefer a mostly raw oyster with just enough heat to make them easy to shuck.
Perhaps the bravest and maybe hungriest person ever was the one who ate the first raw oyster. All mollusks are edible, so it may not have been that farfetched to try to eat one. There are massive mounds of oyster shells that are an indication how many oysters the indigenous people of the Southeast used to consume.
Oysters 101
Oysters are very common in the St. Johns River. There is fossil evidence that they have been around for approximately 15 million years. Juvenile oysters are called spats and become an adult and able to reproduce when about 1 year old. They can live as long as 20 years.
Oysters can change their sex. In fact, they will often do it more than once. That is a trait seen in a number of other species and not unique to oysters.
Oysters breathe like fish — yes, they have gills, and are vegetarians. Well sort of. They eat algae by filtering it out of the water but mixed in are zooplankton. So, they are a bit of omnivores too. A single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day. That is about as much water as you use in a 10-minute shower.
Oysters: Eat 'em raw or roasted, then recycle shells for reef
From the 2010 files: Panel looks at reopening Jacksonville oyster beds
As oyster generations settle on one another and grow, they form reefs that provide shelter for other animals, like fish and crabs. A raw oyster may still be alive as you eat it. If you're at a raw bar and someone shucks you a fresh oyster, it's likely still alive. Give it a poke with a fork next time to see if it moves.
And remember oyster shells are recyclable, but we need a better system to collect discarded shells so we could use them to help build oyster reefs in the river. They help attract juvenile oysters.
So, why the rule that you only eat oysters in months with an “R” in them, September to April, not May through August? Oysters spawn in the summer months and are mostly small, watery and tasteless. During the winter they are storing up glycogen to reproduce, and are bigger, juicer and sweeter. I am a sticker when it comes to the “R” rule.
Glad you asked River Life
Why have we had so few hurricanes this year?
If you had asked me in June if we would go through the end of August with no hurricanes forming in the Atlantic, my answer would have been “No way.”
La Nina, El Nino and ENSO: Weather events afar impact Florida; get ready for a dry summer
Conditions seemed too conducive for hurricane formation. The ocean was very warm, and we had a La Nina for the third year in a row. What we did not know was that Africa would be so hot and dry with massive amounts of Saharan dust blowing across the Atlantic. It has been that hot, dry air that has suppressed hurricanes. Now we wait to see what is next.

Tropical Storm Kay dumps rain on Mexico’s Baja peninsula
Published: Sep. 9, 2022 at 12:22 AM EDT|Updated: 37 minutes ago
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Kay is dumping heavy rains on a sparsely populated area of Mexico’s Pacific coast and is expected to weaken further as it curls out to sea, possibly bringing rain to southernmost California by the weekend.
The eye of Kay came ashore as a hurricane near Mexico’s Bahia Asuncion in Baja California Sur state Thursday, but by evening it was a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph).
It had moved back over open water by late Thursday and was expected to weaken further Friday.

The Greatest Beer Run Ever is an inspiring story about friendship, beer and the Vietnam War. ET has a first look at Zac Efron’s transformation into Chickie Donohue, a man who felt as though he wasn’t doing enough to support his friends while they were away fighting in the war. So, he decides to pack up cases of beer -- and himself -- and make the trek from New York to Vietnam to give his buddies a couple of cold ones.
As Donohue arrives, his friends and other soldiers are shocked with the way he decided to risk his life, just to simply add a piece of light to theirs. While many are happy, some question the motives behind the method of support.
Chickie soon meets war reporter Coates, played by Russel Crowe, who takes him under his wing, so that he doesn’t get his “head blown off” during his time in the jungle. The two form a bond, and Chickie gets a first-hand look at the good and the bad parts of the war – that he didn’t see at home.
“This really is a powerful, powerful story and in some ways, it’s never been more relevant,” Efron says in a behind-the-scenes look at the film. “But it’s so kinda carefully crafted and well-written. There’s moments where you’re going to be crying. There’s moments where you’re going to be transported into another time and place.”
The Greatest Beer Run Ever also stars Bill Murray, Kyle Allen and Jake Picking and was directed by Peter Farrelly.
The Greatest Beer RunEver premieres on Apple TV+ Sept. 30.

To the editor:
I appreciate the Sun’s editorial of Sept. 6, which restates opposition to any Republican candidate who supports former President Donald Trump.
To the editor:
I appreciate the Sun’s editorial of Sept. 6, which restates opposition to any Republican candidate who supports former President Donald Trump.
While I share this paper’s position related to the dangerous and dishonest claims about the 2020 election, I reject the assertion that Trump or the candidates who are most aligned with him are right-wing or hold any coherent position on the left/right spectrum as it is normally understood.
The Sun is not alone in equating strongly held and asserted opinions by someone who identifies as Republican as being automatically to the right of the political center.
Many within the legacy media make the same mistake and partisan operatives are more than pleased to repeat those inaccuracies for their own purposes.
The truth is that Trump, and many like him, some of whom have only recently joined the Republican Party and become among the most vocal and agitated activists, are not traditionally conservative or Republican.
Their movement is best described as populist, pitting the general population against real and imagined “elites,” “globalists” and others from the “swamp” in Washington or other urban centers of power.
To divide us this way, they have absorbed issues, positions and dissatisfied coalition members from both major parties, Republican and Democrat, but they are not held together by any internally consistent world-view, reason or shared interest.
Primarily they have stoked grievances and fears that have undermined trust in needed civic institutions and leaders.
Whether this realignment is temporary or long-lasting remains to be seen. But we will have to come up with a new short-hand description for an increasingly identity-based political system.
It is clear the old left/right spectrum is no longer accurate and is likely more harm than help at this point, adding to the misinformation that is overwhelming our discourse.
What I pray is that it is also clear that anti-democratic, authoritarianism or any similar -ism connected behavior has no home in either party.

Houston Business Journal Recognizes Maksoud for Leadership, Community Involvement
HOUSTON, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DEC President and CEO Michel Maksoud, Ph.D., P.E., has been recognized as a 2022 Most Admired CEO by the Houston Business Journal (HBJ).

ATLANTA (AP) — Two deputies were killed Thursday night while serving a warrant in a suburb near Atlanta, and a suspect remained barricaded in a home, authorities said.
The sheriff's office in Cobb County tweeted initially that the two deputies had “died in the line of duty" and that a SWAT team and other law enforcement officers remained at the scene.
The county sheriff's office did not release any additional information such as the identities of the officers or the circumstances in which they were killed. It said more information would be released later.
WSB-TV reported that people in the neighborhood nearby reported hearing several gunshots and then seeing law enforcement officers swarm the area.
Authorities did not immediately identify the suspect, and details about the warrant and attempts to serve it were not immediately disclosed.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the state's top crime-fighting agency, separately said in a tweet that it was sending its condolences to the country sheriff, Craig Owens, and his office for the deaths of the deputies.
Sprawling Cobby County with more than 760,000 people is located just northwest of Atlanta and is one of Georgia's most populous counties.

Time to read 3 minutes Share Print a- a+ Read so far SOS 101: Voter Registration in Texas Posted in: News AUSTIN — Texas Secretary of State John Scott today released the first installment of 'SOS 101,' a series of videos educating voters about election administration in Texas ahead of the November 8, 2022 General Election. In the first SOS 101 video, Secretary Scott provides an overview of the voter registration process in Texas, including how eligible Texans can register to vote, how county voter registrars process voter registration applications, and how voter rolls in each of Texas' 254 counties are maintained for accuracy. Secretary Scott also visits with Brazos County Elections Administrator Trudy Hancock to discuss voter registration in her county. "Today, you'll be learning about one of your most important civic duties as a Texas voter - registering to vote," Secretary Scott says in the video. "Whether you're registering to vote for the first time or need to update your information on your record, make sure and visit VoteTexas.gov and select 'Voter Registration' to learn everything you need to know about voter registration in Texas." "Brazos County is up to 123,000 voters," Elections Administrator Trudy Hancock explains in the video. "Right now, we're having Volunteer Deputy Registrars come in dropping off new applications. We're a college town, we have over 70,000 students here, so they're working hard at the campus to get those young folks registered." Hancock joined Secretary Scott in reminding eligible Texas voters that the deadline to register for the November 8, 2022 General Election is Tuesday, October 11th. To watch the full SOS 101 video on voter registration, click here or on the image below. SOS 101: Voter Registration in Texas covers the following key topics: 1. Eligibility Requirements In Texas, you are eligible to register to vote as long as you are: A United States citizen; A resident of the county where you submit your voter registration application; At least 18 years old on Election Day. Not a convicted felon (you may be eligible to vote if you have completed your sentence, probation, and parole); and Not been declared by a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be either totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote. 2. Completing Your Application If you're a new voter in Texas, you have several options when registering to vote, including: Registering to vote when obtaining a Texas Driver License or Texas ID card at the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS); Registering to vote online when renewing, replacing or updating your Texas Driver License or Texas ID card; or Complete, sign and send a voter registration application to your county voter registrar. If you are already registered to vote and simply need to update information on your voter registration record - such as your address, name or identification number(s) - you can do so online at Texas.gov. Remember to make sure your voter registration application is postmarked by Tuesday, October 11th to vote in the November 8th General Election. 3. How Your County Voter Registrar Processes Your Application When your county voter registrar receives your voter registration application, the registrar will enter your information into the statewide voter registration database - the Texas Election Administration Management (TEAM) system. Some Texas counties choose to use their own third-party vendors that are responsible for communicating with the TEAM system to ensure all voter registration information is updated in a timely manner. Once the registration information is entered in TEAM, it goes through a process called 'Live Check' - which verifies the Driver License, ID and/or partial Social Security number (last 4 digits) on your registration application with DPS and the Social Security Administration. Once your registration passes the Live Check process, you should receive your voter registration certificate from your county voter registrar in the mail within 30 days. If you don't receive your voter registration certificate in the mail in time to vote - don't worry, you can still vote! You aren't required to show your registration certificate to vote in person - just be sure to bring one of 7 approved forms of photo ID for voting, and know what forms of ID you can bring if you don't possess and can't reasonably obtain one. 4. Verify Your Voter Registration Status Once you've submitted your voter registration application, you can visit www.votetexas.gov and click on 'Am I Registered?' to check your registration status. Through the My Voter Portal, you can: Check your voter registration status; View a list of Election Day and Early Voting poll locations; View your registration information, including your Voter Unique Identifier (VUID); Start a new voter registration application; Update your registration information; or Track your ballot by mail, if you are eligible to vote by mail 5. Voter List Maintenance The Texas Secretary of State's office follows state and federal law in ensuring the voter rolls in each of Texas' 254 counties stay up-to-date and accurate, and that ineligible voters are removed from the rolls. For example, an average of between 10-15 thousand deceased voter registration records are removed from the voter rolls statewide each month in Texas. Texas counties report monthly cancellation numbers to our office, which show how many registrations were cancelled, and for what reason. Because Texans move often, tens of thousands of duplicate registrations are cancelled each month. This ensures that no person is registered at more than one address, in more than one county, or in more than one state. Voter registrations can also be cancelled when a voter is found to be: Serving time for a felony conviction; A non-U.S. citizen; or Declared mentally incompetent.

For years, phone makers have dealt with the notch or hole-punch — the cutout housing the selfie camera and other sensors on an otherwise edge-to-edge screen — as if it were a mark of shame. An impediment in their quest for bezel-less phones or depending on how you look at it, a constant indicator of the engineering work needed to accomplish phones that look right out of sci-fi flicks.
Apple is no different. Since the iPhone X launched in 2017, the company has tried hiding the notch in promotions by slapping a dark wallpaper on its phones and letting it disappear on the vibrant OLED screens. Five years later, however, Apple seems to have finally listened to its advice to developers, which was to embrace the notch and not mask or attempt to hide it.
The latest iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max got a smaller, aesthetically pleasing pill-shaped notch that Apple calls the “Dynamic Island.” Don’t laugh, it’s much better than Apple’s chuckle-inducing “Jiggly Mode.”
Dynamic Island is an exclusive new software feature for the iPhone 14 Pro models that repurposes the space around the notch, which usually goes to waste, to show you a host of live activities, such as timers and music playback. The black pill expands into an interactive contextual widget that automatically adapts to your most recent activity.
So for example, if you send someone files over AirDrop, Dynamic Island will morph into a progress bar for it. When you get a call, it will expand and shake a little to let you know someone’s ringing you. Called for a Lyft? You’ll see the time till the driver arrives. You can check sports scores, your AirPods’ battery life, turn-by-turn directions; the list goes on.
What’s more impressive is that you can tap and hold these real-time notifications and they’ll enlarge into a mini app. Say you’re playing music. Dynamic Island will display the album art and track name on an elongated pill. But once you interact, it will reveal playback controls and a search bar. It’s also capable of handling two activities at once: in its keynote, Apple demoed a timer running simultaneously with music playback. The former will live on one corner of the Dynamic Island, while the ongoing track takes up the rest.
Although Apple didn’t specify whether users can customize which activities can plug into the Dynamic Island to cut down interruptions or whether they can scroll through many concurrent ones to pick which one stays on top, it did say that the Dynamic Island “maintains an active state to allow users easier access to controls.” So it may be possible for people to personalize some aspects of Dynamic Island’s behavior since it will always be on the lookout for live notifications.
However, it’s the way Apple has designed the Dynamic Island interface that’s drawing the most awe. The pill delightfully expands and collapses into widgets with sleek animations. It only appears when it’s needed, or else disappears into the pill. The OLED screen’s deep blacks, the shrunken cutout, and a recent iOS addition called Live Activities function seamlessly in tandem to blur the lines between hardware and software.
Live Activities is the difference maker between Dynamic Island ending up as a party trick and becoming an essential element of the iPhone experience. Starting with iOS 16, developers can build live notifications to show you real-time updates right on your lockscreen. It’s a feature that’s been long overdue and I’m glad Apple is making the most of it.
Apple’s software has never quite played well with the notch. In the iPhone X era, the status area barely had any space left. Not only did people lose access to a bunch of quick information like VPN and headphone status, but Apple never added controls to customize the space flanking the notch either.
In comparison, Android makers, such as Google kept showing more notification badges and information as front-facing cameras narrowed. Some like Samsung have even figured out how to relocate the selfie camera entirely under the screen.
However, Apple has refused to address the notch in recent software updates, starving people of precious screen space. But with Dynamic Island, it has finally found an Apple-esque way to utilize the notch and until under-display cameras and sensors go mainstream, this solution seems like it will be enough to prevent people from revolting and questioning Apple’s allegiance to Face ID.

2022 Fall High School Sports Preview: University slowpitch looks to carry over momentum from successful 2021-22 teams
Sept. 7, 2022 Updated Wed., Sept. 7, 2022 at 10:12 p.m.
Pitcher Autumn Hibbs, left, and infielder Maliyah Mann are important parts of the University Titans slowpitch squad. (Jesse Tinsley/THE SPOKESMAN-REVI)
The University softball program had a banner year in the 2021-22 school year. The slowpitch team won the 3A/2A state title in the fall, scoring 64 runs over three games – including a 26-11 win over Kelso in the championship game.
Then in the spring, the Titans shared the district title and qualified for the state fastpitch tournament, eventually bowing out in the third-place bracket.
With all that success, the Titans are excited to be back on the field for slowpitch.
“We had a good fall and spring,” all-league pitcher Autumn Hibbs said. “I’m hoping that carries over to this season.”
“We’re really excited to get going,” fourth-year coach Matt Connor said. “We have a lot of some new fresh faces that are contributing early which has been a nice surprise for us.”
“We’re getting everyone used to things,” Hibbs said. “It’s definitely different. A little challenging to get people to communicate more and just step out of their comfort zone and talk.”
She’s taken more of an active role in leadership.
“I’m one of the three seniors this year, so I’ve stepped up pretty much,” she said.
Connor believes the Greater Spokane League, and the other leagues across the state that play slowpitch in the fall, are at an advantage to those who don’t.
“Coming into the fall season it’s a really great way for the young kids to come in,” he said. “Get familiar with the program, get familiar with what the expectations are here at U-Hi and they get to build relationships right off the bat. They get to be part of a team. And we find that it really helps get kids ingrained in what Titan athletics are about.”
The success has a lot to do with the expectations.
“I’m not sure how the other schools look at us,” Connor said. “What I want is that we are able to maintain what has been a great tradition here at U-Hi, to have teams that compete and teams that are at towards the top of the standings.
“We want to get kids better every day and we want them to embrace competition. And we want to have some fun along the way.”
“Coach always tells us we have a target on our backs,” Hibbs said. “We just need to go in acting like it’s any other team and not get too ahead of ourselves.”
She doesn’t mind playing front-runner.
“It’s fun going into a game knowing that people know who you are.”
When the GSL brought slowpitch back as a fall sport in 2002, it was the only league in the state to play. The Mid-Columbia Conference and a couple others adopted it later, and the game has been spreading across the state ever since. The WIAA sanctioned slowpitch in 2018 and added the state tourney in 2019.
“It’s great for the sport,” Connor said. “It’s great for the GSL as more teams get into slowpitch across the state. We’re going to see the competition grow, which is great. We always want to play the best and we want to get ourselves ready and continue to make the GSL proud in slowpitch.”
Junior infielder Maliyah Mann joins Hibbs as returning all-league players this season.
“Autumn does such a great job for us pitching,” Connor said. “She kind of sets the tone for us. She has composure, which is what you want from a pitcher, and she just does a great job. She fields her position well, and she does a really good job at the plate for us putting the ball in play and being successful there.
“And then Maliyah is just an offensive threat – any time up she can hit the ball out of the yard. She does a great job for us defensively, but her most intimidating spot is that the plate for sure.”
Pitching in slowpitch might not seem as exciting, but it’s not just lobbing the ball up there and letting people put it in play.
“I don’t know what other programs do, but we try to locate pitches both short and deep. We try to work in and out,” Connor said. “One thing we don’t do, is we don’t walk people. Autumn makes batters put the ball in play, which really plays into our team because our defense is has been so solid.
“You’re not going to get many strikeouts in slowpitch. Our defense really carries the load for us.”
It puts a premium on every player being able to field their position.
The Titans’ infield is solid across the board.
“I think our middle (infielders) are really, really good,” he said. “Abby Watkins and Natalie Singer are dynamite up the middle. And Katie Travis is just as solid as can be at third base. Our entire infield, I feel, has the potential to be recognized at the end of the season.”
Momentum can be a funny thing sometimes, but Connor thinks the Titans’ success last year will carry over.
“It certainly will,” he said. “It just creates a good culture. It creates a good atmosphere. Kids set their own expectations when they have success. They want to follow that up with another successful season. Absolutely.”
Part of that momentum can be measured in turnout. U-Hi had 36 players come out for slowpitch this fall.
“It’s a really good number from what I’m hearing from other programs,” Connor said. “I feel like the numbers are coming back. I feel like kids are bouncing back and wanting to get out and join teams and be more active.”
For a decade, U-Hi has faced Central Valley in the “Fall Ball Brawl,” where the schools alternate years hosting a game under portable lights at night. It’s the biggest crowd every year for slowpitch.
This year, the league got together to schedule a whole evening of rivalry games under the lights on Sept. 27 at Merkel Sports Complex, with two games are 5:30 p.m and five games at 7.
“I’m super excited, especially for our seniors,” Hibbs said of the night games. “Hopefully we’ll go out beating (CV) cause they’re our rival.”
“What we’re trying to do is promote our sport in Spokane,” Connor said. “We’ll be able to continue our rivalry game with CV. Mead and Mt. Spokane will play their ‘Battle of the Bats.’
“We’re hoping to get a little media coverage and promote our sport and promote our girls. They deserve the same recognition and kudos that a lot of the other fall sports get. Sometimes we tend to fly under the radar. But these kids work just as hard and compete just as hard as any of the other sports in the GSL at the state level.”

Chief Justice John Roberts to speak at Colorado conference
Chief Justice John Roberts is set to make his first public appearance since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, speaking Friday night at a judicial conference in Colorado.
Roberts is scheduled to be interviewed by two judges from the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is hosting the conference in Colorado Springs. Two judges from the court, Timothy M. Tymkovich and Jerome A. Holmes will have a discussion with Roberts during the conference’s traditional “fireside chat” event, which has featured a current or past Supreme Court justice since its inception in 2004.
While the conference offers lawyers and judges a chance to learn more about emerging legal issues, the chat, sponsored by the circuit’s historical society, usually focuses on the historic view of their career, rather than discussing current events, Gregory Kerwin, the society’s counselor, said.
The Supreme Court has been busy making history this year. In May, there was an unprecedented leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion that suggested the court was poised to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, which provided women constitutional protections for abortion for nearly 50 years. Roberts ordered an investigation into how the opinion got out.
Justice Clarence Thomas, the longest tenured member of the court, said the court had been irrevocably harmed by the leak. The leaked draft was largely incorporated into Alito’s final opinion in June that overturned Roe in a case upholding Mississippi’s law banning abortion after 15 weeks.
In June’s ruling, Roberts, appointed to the court in 2005 by former President George W. Bush, voted to uphold Mississippi’s law but he did not join the conservative justices in also overturning Roe as well as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to end a pregnancy. He wrote that there was no need to overturn the broad precedents to uphold the state law, saying he would take “a more measured course.”
The overturning of Roe has paved the way for severe abortion restrictions or bans in nearly half of U.S. states.
Roberts has spoken out repeatedly about the importance of the judiciary’s independence and to rebut perceptions of the court as a political institution not much different than Congress or the presidency.
Opinion polls since the leak and the release of the final abortion decision, though, have shown a sharp drop in approval of the court and confidence in the institution.

Opinion/Letters: Cape Cod crosswalks can be more dangerous than jaywalking
A few weeks ago as I was walking from the grocery store to my residence I witnessed about 4 or 5 turkeys trying to cross from one side of a very busy street to the other. To my surprise, I saw cars going in both directions actually slow down, and come to a complete stop. After about 90 seconds to 2 minutes, all the turkeys had safely crossed the street, and traffic continued on in a safe and orderly manner.
Dangerous roads:Arrest made after motorcyclist killed in Marstons Mills crash
I mention this incident because when I use crosswalks on the streets of Hyannis, which have no traffic lights I often feel I am risking injury or worse by getting hit by a passing car while I am in a crosswalk. A couple of days ago I was trying to use a crosswalk and a car in the lane closest to me stopped to let me cross the street. I took about 2 or 3 steps onto the crosswalk and came to a complete stop in the middle of the street. I knew from past experience that cars going in the other direction were going to continue speeding through the crosswalk, even though legally, I, as the pedestrian had the legal right of way. As I stood in the crosswalk at least 2 or 3 speeding cars continued to race by me like I was invisible to them.
This is not the first or sadly the last time that I expect to feel threatened by inconsiderate and dangerous drivers in my own neighborhood while attempting to use a crosswalk. In my opinion, it is much safer to jaywalk whenever possible than use crosswalks in Hyannis, which should have signs that tell walkers that crossing at a crosswalk could lead to a trip to a hospital or a morgue.
Bram Hurvitz, Hyannis
Proportional representation elections should replace political party primaries
Please allow me to bounce off of Robert Celeste’s letter in the Aug. 28, 2022, Times. Mr. Celeste voices frustrations over having to register as a member of a particular party in order to vote in a primary as well as mentioning other frustrations around how we select our government officials. Such frustrations are widespread. In our current system, we seem often to end up with representatives whom a large number of people did not want.
Cynthia Stead:This is what ranked-choice voting looks like
I encourage people to look at proportional representation. Proportional representation leads to the inclusion of all groups by offering a choice of representatives who, if not an individual’s first choice, are at least a second or third choice out of all possibilities. Among the many benefits of this method, primaries are typically eliminated. Places where proportional representation methods are used, tend to be happier with their governments. Note that this method is and has been used in this country. Don’t trust me, look it up.

Study needed to understand, prevent vehicle vs bicyclist crashes on Cape
Thank you for the recent article, Looking to ride a bicycle on Cape Cod? (8/12) There's some good news, and some bad — and some worse news.
Many Cape Cod roads, including Routes 6A and 28, started out as pathways for pedestrians, carts and horses in the 17th century. We have only recently built sidewalks on some stretches, other stretches don’t have sidewalks yet. We know it’s dangerous out there, more dangerous than it seems.
We need to know how dangerous. What were the consequences of the 2000 bike crashes over the last 10 years?
Six cyclists were killed. Misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide carries a maximum sentence of 2.5 years.
Eighty-two cyclists had serious injuries. Massachusetts is a no-fault state so the driver’s personal injury protection, usually a million dollars, is supposed to cover the injured person’s expenses. Has that worked out for people with serious injuries?
Harvesting more than tomatoes:Do you know the story behind Cape Abilities' tomatoes? Here is it.
How we get people to share the road is indeed a million-dollar question. I think we could begin by warning people of the known dangerous locations, by preserving evidence of accidents for investigations, including private investigations by families and by holding drivers responsible with consequences in keeping with the damage that results.
Articles like this contribute to the conversation and we need more of them. We need to follow up with the families of those killed or injured and with the drivers. This bloodshed is real and we need public awareness.

For more than 25 years, Pescaderans have relied on bottled water instead of their own nitrate-polluted well water. Now, research is revealing more adverse health effects of nitrate contamination, and that contamination is worsening across the state and country.
A project is in the works to connect Pescadero Middle and High School to clean water. As part of the Fire Station 59 relocation project, San Mateo County plans to extend County Service Area No. 11 to provide clean drinking water to the school. The county has been discussing the plan since 2020.
Sophie Mintier, the county’s interim assistant director of planning and building, said construction for the waterline extension is estimated to begin in 2024 and be completed in 2025.
“We’re working with a consultant from (Sacramento State University) as well as the State Water Resource Control Boards, the county manager’s office and Public Works regularly to move the project along,” said La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District Superintendent Amy Wooliever. “It just is a long process, but we’re in motion.”
At the moment, the county is pursuing amendments to its Local Coastal Program to allow the project to proceed, said Mintier. The amendments must be approved by the county’s Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors and finally the California Coastal Commission. Then, the county will need to secure Coastal Development Permits and building permits.
In the meantime, Pescadero Middle and High School will continue to receive 76 five-gallon bottles of water biweekly for drinking and cooking, paid for by California’s Drinking Water for Schools grant program. The schools have used bottled water for over two decades now.
The CSA 11 project will not provide a clean water supply to Pescadero residents, however. Corina Rodriguez, the community development director for South Coast nonprofit Puente de la Costa Sur, said she estimates that 90 percent of the local community fills water jugs in Half Moon Bay or Santa Cruz on the weekends.
Consuming high rates of nitrate can reduce the ability of blood to carry oxygen and cause methemoglobinemia, also known as “blue baby syndrome.” This serious disease is marked by bluish skin, decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate, headaches and vomiting. Infants under 6 months old are at the highest risk, though emerging research indicates that high nitrate concentration may cause nausea, headaches and an increased risk of cancer in adults.
The EPA classifies any nitrate concentration above 10 milligrams per liter of water as unsafe, a limit set in 1962. Recent research suggests that even water with 5 mg per liter can increase the risk of colorectal cancer, thyroid disease and birth defects.
In 2010, a San Mateo County Times investigation found that two camps of farmworkers in Pescadero had been drinking water with nitrate levels as high as 290 milligrams — 29 times the EPA-deemed safe amount.
Rodriguez said she has not heard of nitrate contamination-related diseases being prevalent in the South Coast area.
Across the country, nitrate contamination of drinking water is getting worse, according to an Environmental Working Group analysis. The group looked at data from 10 states, including California, that showed steady upticks in levels of nitrate in 52 percent of 4,000 water systems studied between 2003 and 2017. California, along with Kansas and Texas, saw worsening contamination in 60 percent of communities examined.
Environmental Working Group also found that nitrate contamination disproportionately affects smaller communities like Pescadero. This is likely because farming communities, who are most exposed to fertilizer and manure runoff that causes nitrate contamination, tend to be smaller.
Pescadero’s nitrate contamination problem extends beyond even the schools’ 25 years of bottled water. In 1974, tests revealed 41 percent of Pescadero water sources to have nitrate levels exceeding the state limit of 45 milligrams per liter — which is 4 1/2 times today’s limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
In 1980, San Mateo County surveyed the Pescadero area for a water source that could replace the many shallow wells residents were using, many of which were contaminated. Though the 42-year-old survey indicated that a municipal well in Pescadero Creek would satisfy the population’s needs, the report noted that “the
water probably would deteriorate with time and might not be suitable for public supply for more than 20 or 30 years.”
In 1988, the many small domestic wells from which Pescaderans drank were replaced with CSA 11, which now serves 90 residences and commercial customers, and, perhaps soon, the schools. ▪

Colorado State University Interim President Rick Miranda has named Professor Greg Luft, longtime chair of the University’s Department of Journalism and Media Communication, as CSU’s interim vice president for marketing and communications, effective Sept. 15.
Luft will take over the position being vacated by Yolanda Bevill, who announced her intent in August to take a new job in Texas to be closer to her family.
Luft recently completed 15 years as chair of the Department of Journalism and Media Communication and has been teaching at Colorado State University since 1988. He was born in Colorado and grew up in Weld County. He received his B.A. in the journalism department at CSU and completed his graduate work at American University in Washington, D.C. In 2011, he participated in the Academic Leadership Academy sponsored by Scripps Howard at Louisiana State University.
Professional work
Luft’s professional work before and during his academic career includes television news reporting and anchoring; documentary, educational and corporate video production; and freelance video journalism. He worked as a general assignment and investigative reporter at television stations in Wyoming, Florida, Oklahoma and Colorado. His independent documentaries and educational productions focus on television writing and production, and the behavior of journalists.
He teaches multimedia journalism study abroad courses in Urbino, Italy, during the summer and is active as an elected member of the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. In addition to serving as a professor and department chair, he has 30 years of experience with student media, including serving as academic representative on the Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation Board of Directors since it transitioned to independent status in 2008. He was named a CSU Alumni Association Best Teacher in 2013. He served as president of the national Broadcast Education Association from 2018-19 and on its board of directors for more than a decade. He sailed with Semester at Sea as academic dean in 2019.
“Professor Luft knows our campus and the MarComm division well, and his experience in leading a very engaged and high-profile department for the last 15 years will be invaluable in this interim role,” Miranda said. “He also comes to this role with enormous respect for our MarComm division and its work and a willingness to help provide leadership that will ensure stability and progress during the coming months.”
Miranda said the University will wait to launch a search for a permanent vice president until after a new CSU president comes on board later this year.

(WXYZ) — If you follow Ryan Hudson-Peralta on Instagram (@lookmomlookmomnohands), you already know that Hudson-Peralta was born with congenital limb deficiency meaning he has shortened legs and arms without hands.
"From the day I was born, I was told I wasn't going to be able to do anything. Wasn't going to be able to have a family, go to regular school, or drive a car," said Hudson-Peralta.
The 42-year-old is a husband, a father to two boys, and works as a designer as well as a motivational speaker. And yes, he can also get behind the wheel.
"I've been driving for 21 years in the state of Michigan. And I've never had a problem. No tickets, no accidents," said Hudson-Peralta.
Ryan recently took delivery of his fourth vehicle customized by Creative Mobility Group. The company's president, Christina Duggan, said a lot of thought went into his $100,000 SUV.
"You can wake up in the morning, you can get dressed, get in your car, you don't realize all the challenges one person can wake or get up and go," Duggan said.
The vehicle features a minivan-style sliding door, a wheelchair ramp, a transfer seat, and raised steering pedals among other modifications.
"This panel has shifting on the top, horn, headlamp, turn signals, windows, and this panel has heating control and other secondary switches," said Hudson-Peralta.
Duggan said thanks to technology, companies like hers can help people with disabilities reach their goals and even assist them with funding.
"We significantly took a discount for Ryan, and Michigan Rehab Services contributed to Ryan's vehicle. Ryan contributed to his vehicle as well," said Duggan.
Meanwhile, Hudson-Peralta said the best way to tackle haters or any of life's challenges is to ignore the noise and drive forward.
"I have a disability, but I don't let it define who I am. I do everything everyone else does; I just do it differently," said Hudson-Peralta.

Queen Elizabeth's death 'great loss' for the world: Japan PM
The death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is a "great loss" for the entire world, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Friday, expressing his "deep sorrow".
"The death of the queen, who led Britain through turbulent times in the world, is a great loss not only for the British people but also the international community," he told reporters.
Kishida praised the queen's "extremely important role in world peace and stability", saying she "contributed greatly to the strengthening of Japan-UK relations".
He offered the government's condolences, and said news of her death had left him "feeling deep sorrow".
Flags in Japan will be flown at half-mast in respect for the late monarch, chief cabinet secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said.
PAY ATTENTION: Don't miss trending Kenyan news. Follow TUKO.co.ke on Twitter!
Noboru Suzuki, 81, was among those who went to pay condolences outside the British embassy in Tokyo, where some people left flowers at the gate.
"The British royal family is one of the best known, so I'm sure the whole world is engulfed by sadness, but because Japan has its own imperial family, we're in shock, too," he told AFP.
Another mourner, 54-year-old Yasuko Osawa, said she had studied in Britain twice, her trips coinciding with the heyday of princess Diana's popularity.
"So my path crossed with the British royal family, even just a little," she said.
Osawa said her generation in Japan had embraced British music, and "everyone around me was going to the UK to study".
"British royals have had their share of scandals, but I sincerely hope they are able to overcome this loss," she said, adding that the queen was "someone truly deserving of a state funeral".
Japan will hold a state funeral for assassinated former prime minister Shinzo Abe later this month, an event that has caused controversy partly over its $12 million price tag.

Alexander has described the queen as a powerful leader.
"The queen has sadly passed at her beloved home at Balmoral, Scotland. We also send our deepest wishes and condolences to the rest of the royal families," Alexander said.
The world has lost another great leader.
That's the sentiments of fellow expat, Andrew Holland: "I would like to join the millions of others in passing my condolences to the queen's family as they contemplate the future without such a wonderful role model for her family and her nation."
The queen ruled for longer than any other monarch in British history.

Lancashire businesses get ready to rock at county expo and networking event
Lancashire businesses can put themselves centre stage at an exhibition event in the county with a musical edge.
Organisers say that the fourth North Lancs Expo, back after a two year break due to lockdown, is set to be the best yet offering businesses a chance to show what they have to offer as well as get involved with a radio event.
They add that not only is the North Lancs Expo the largest exhibition of businesses in the district, but also this year it will play host to a preview, of Lancaster’s Highest Point Festival for next year.
Running alongside the North Lancs Expo, the team behind Lancaster’s Highest Point music weekend will bring delegates a taste of what to expect at the festival in 2023.

There will be a ‘mini festival’ with a stage for DJs, acoustic acts, and performers.
The Expo will also play host to Lancaster’s local radio station Beyond Radio. Its team will be broadcasting live from the Expo from 12pm to 3pm and will be offering the opportunity for local businesses to chat on the Radio. A great profile raiser for any business!
The Expo, this year at Lancaster and Morecambe College after previously being staged at Lancaster Brewery, is free to attend for all visitors and with free parking it aims to be the most cost effective networking experience of the year.
Exhibitors and delegates can explore potential new relationships as suppliers, customers or even employees.
Celebrating 125 years of supporting businesses across North Lancashire in 2022, Lancaster and District Chamber of Commerce will host the North Lancs Expo in partnership with Lancaster City Council and Lancaster and Morecambe College who will play host to the event on Friday, September 30.
Vicky Lofthouse, chief executive officer of Lancaster and District Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Chamber team and I are so excited for the Expo and the fourth one looks set to be the best yet.
“With so many businesses, the future workforce and now Highest Point, all in one place, it is going to be phenomenal.”

Members of the 1972 U.S. Olympic basketball team have talked about finally retrieving those silver medals they vowed to never accept and left behind in Germany.
No, they still don't want them for themselves.
They believe the medals belong in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but the latest attempt to get them from the International Olympic Committee has been thwarted.
To get the medals a home in the Hall of Fame — which is holding its induction ceremony for the Class of 2022 this weekend — the IOC told the players they first have to accept them.
“If we have to accept them, then that’s not going to be an option,” said Tom Burleson, a center from North Carolina State who played on the team.
It's the same non-starter it was 50 years ago Friday.
The Americans’ first loss in Olympic competition remains one of the most complicated and controversial finishes ever — there's little question it's part of the sport’s history, which the Hall preserves.
It's not that the IOC disagrees with the Hall of Fame option. The Olympic governing body would let members of the team do what they want with the medals — once they've followed the organization's procedure for obtaining them.
Tom McMillen, a forward from Maryland and a member of the 1972 team, said the IOC saying players having to accept the medals is “sort of ridiculous" and came up with a possible solution to the impasse: Have a third-party accept the medals so they could be placed in the Hall of Fame.
“What we talked about was, given what the IOC’s position is, we could say, ‘OK, give us the medals,’ and then we reject them by giving them to the Naismith museum," said McMillen, now president and CEO of the LEAD1 Association, representing college Football Bowl Subdivision athletic directors and programs.
“In other words, we say, ‘We don’t want these, we don’t think we deserve them, we think we deserve the gold,’” McMillen said. “But I think everybody’s got different views. I mean, it’s really hard, so it’s probably going to stay the way it is.”
At least for the foreseeable future.
The sting of the loss still lingers.
The United States brought a 63-game Olympic winning streak into the final against the Soviet Union on Sept. 9, 1972, in Munich. It appeared the Americans had extended it to 64 when the horn sounded to end the game with them leading 50-49.
The game was restarted — twice — during what even the players struggle to define as errors by the officials or an outright attempt to cheat them.
Referees initially put time back on the clock after the Soviets argued they had called a timeout and the horn had sounded. The clock was still being reset when the ball was put into play and the Soviets didn’t score, so R. William Jones, the secretary general of FIBA, again ordered the clock reset to 3 seconds.
Given another chance, the Soviets fired a long pass to Aleksander Belov, who scored to give the Soviets a 51-50 victory.
Ed Ratleff, a forward who played at Long Beach State, believes it’s possible some players may have softened on their stance after 50 years, but said neither he nor anyone he still talks to has. One of them, Kenny Davis, has in his will that his family is to never accept silver.
“I tell you what, I am the same way I was 50 years ago,” Ratleff said. “My mother always taught me you won’t take anything that doesn’t belong to you, and I didn’t think the silver medal belonged to us.
“I’m not taking it and I’m sure 100% we got cheated out of it and I think they knew that, too.”
McMillen hopes the entire team will one day be enshrined in the Hall of Fame and with this being the 50th anniversary of the Munich Games, this weekend would have been a fitting time. It’s an honor Olympic champions such as the 1960 and 1992 U.S. teams have earned.
Short of that, he hoped at least the medals could have a home in the Springfield, Massachusetts, museum. McMillen, a former Congressman from Maryland, asked IOC member Dick Pound about putting the medals in the Hall of Fame.
The IOC let McMillen know earlier this year — and reiterated its position again this week — that nobody could accept the medals except the players themselves.
“The IOC expressed its appreciation for his efforts but felt that appointing an attorney to accept the medals would not be appropriate,” an IOC spokesman said Thursday in an email to The Associated Press.
Previous conversations about awarding dual gold medals also had been denied and McMillen was disappointed to learn his latest attempt wouldn’t work, either.
Given that, McMillen said the medals might still be in a vault in Switzerland in 1,000 years, but in fact they’re not even all together now. The IOC said it received seven medals in 1992 from the local organizing committee, which are now kept in its Olympic Museum collections. The others remained with the organizing committee.
Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Hall of Fame board, said the Hall is aware of the players’ wishes and would like to help them. However, it appears those steps are out of the Hall’s hands.
“There’s a scar on the hearts of each one who has participated,” said Colangelo, also the former chairman of USA Basketball, adding that any decisions will have to wait.
“It still needs to be addressed as it pertains to the Hall of Fame.”
There have been attempts to heal the scar, or at least ease the pain of the loss for players.
During the 2008 Olympics, the next generation of stars – NBA standouts make up Olympic teams now, unlike the college players in 1972 – went over to the broadcast table to acknowledge Doug Collins, whose free throws with 3 seconds left had given the Americans the lead in 1972, and they believed, the victory, after he worked the gold-medal game at the Beijing Games.
Four years later, members of the team held a 40th reunion, where they remained united that there would never be accepting of silver.
Two of them, James Forbes and Dwight Jones, have since died. McMillen hoped there was a way to get the rest together sometime this year, though it seems there would be no change given what they’ve heard from the IOC.
“We’ll just let them keep it,” Burleson said. “I hate it, it would be nice to think they were on U.S. soil somewhere. But then again, if they want them, they can keep them.”

Dancer participates in the presentation of Ludmilla, who will be the main attraction of the Sunset Stage, on Sunday (11), the last day of the festival
The performance of singer Ludmilla at Rock in Rio promises and she has already declared that this should be the show of her life. It’s just that, although it’s not the funkeira’s debut at the festival, it will be the first time that the singer will have a show of her own in the city of Rock. And his wife, dancer Brunna Gonçalves, could not be left out of this party. She announced this Thursday (8th) that she will return to the stage in the singer’s corps de ballet.
Ludmilla will perform on Sunday (11), the last day of Rock in Rio, as the main attraction on the Sunset Stage. In a text published on social networks, the dancer and former BBB made an emotional report, recalling her 15-year trajectory as a dancer. “15 years of bringing art to people. Today, at 30, I am very proud of my trajectory. Dance has taken me to unimaginable places”she began in the caption of the publication.
“A few months ago I announced that I was leaving Ballet da Lud, where I stayed for 5 years. There were so many roads, trips, perrengues, experiences… It was incredible! But I decided to dedicate myself to new projects. Cycles end for others to start”, she continued in her account. The dancer explains that this is not a return to her wife’s corps de ballet, but that she will never really be able to say goodbye to the stage.
“I will always be present in some way, I was born for this! It will never be a goodbye, but maybe a see you later. And since you guys missed seeing me dancing, how about taking a trip to the Sunset Stage of Rock In Rio on Sunday?”she commented when announcing her participation: “We prepared a surprise for you! The ballerina is on, my loves, and I would never stop being part of this historic moment! Get ready because this show is going to be very special! Sunday, at 21:00, we have an appointment on the stage of Rock In Rio, okay?”he concluded.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has kept one thing secret and safe for the entirety of its production: Who in the show is playing the role of chief antagonist, the infamous Dark Lord Sauron? And in the show’s third episode, we get another character to toss into the pile of Sauron Potentials.
Now, Rings of Power hasn’t out-and-out said this is Sauron — yet. But here’s what we can say.
[Ed. note: This piece contains spoilers for episode 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, “Adar.”]
From the very first moments of the episode, the name Adar is on characters’ lips. Arondir and a slew of humans and several elves have been captured and press-ganged into digging orc tunnels, and the orcs seem to report to someone called “Adar.” Arondir’s elf buddies even speculate out loud that Adar is another name for Sauron.
In the episode’s final scene, Arondir is dragged before a figure who seems to be Adar, but is shot in a heavy blur that obscures his features. All we can tell, before the show cuts to black, is that he appears to be elven or human, and is pale with dark hair.
Who is Adar?
We don’t know. It’s just as likely he’s an original character created for Rings of Power as he is Sauron. In The Lord of the Rings, Sauron had intermediaries between himself and orcs on the front lines — generals, captains, Nazgûl, heralds like the Mouth of Sauron — and allies who worked for his aims, like Saruman. Adar could be something similar, a corrupted man of the Southlands.
But yeah, it’s possible that he’s Sauron. At this era in the Second Age, Sauron was building up his first foothold in Mordor, neighbor to the show’s Southlands. He could still take physical form at the time, and used his ability to shapeshift to appear in a fair and friendly manner. Under the name Annatar, he claimed to be an emissary of the gods and convinced Celebrimbor to teach him ringcraft, eventually putting his secret little enchantments on the lesser rings.
Arondir’s companions note that Sauron went by many names, and it could be that in Rings of Power, Adar is one of them. Arondir notes that Adar is an elvish word — it probably means “father” in one of the two elven dialects that Tolkien created, which we know from Tom Bombadil’s elven name, Iarwain Ben-adar, which means “Oldest and Fatherless.”
Could Adar be Sauron under a new name? It’s possible! But probably the biggest tell he won’t be revealed as the Dark Lord himself next week is that Arondir’s elf buds already suggested that part out loud. Hell, maybe he’s Tom Bombadil.

Here is a day-by-day account of what is expected to happen next after the death of Queen Elizabeth, leading up to her funeral in around 11 days’ time.

Thursday would traditionally have been D-Day or D+0 in the plans for the aftermath of the Queen’s death, codenamed London Bridge.

Queen Elizabeth II spent her final moments with Charles and Anne at her bedside, according to reports.
The solemn passing of Britain's longest-reigning monarch came yesterday afternoon, according to 10 Downing Street, with members of the Royal Family rushing up to Balmoral throughout the day after receiving news of her deteriorating condition.
In what would no doubt have been a source of great comfort to her, it is now claimed that the Queen was accompanied by her two eldest children, the now-King Charles III and Anne, Princess Royal at the end of her life.
An insider told MailOnline that both the royal siblings had both been in Scotland this week, and were therefore able to reach the estate in time to say goodbye.

A number of other senior royals were sadly not able to be there with her.
The 96-year-old Queen is understood to have died before Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex arrived at Balmoral on Thursday afternoon.
Prime Minister Liz Truss was informed about the monarch's death at 4.30pm, according to her official spokesman, while a plane carrying Prince William, the Duke of York, the Earl and Countess of Wessex landed at Aberdeen airport at 3.50pm.
Just after 6.30pm, Buckingham Palace released a statement to confirm the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Prince Harry arrived at Balmoral later in the evening after flying in to Aberdeen alone, where he appeared sombre in a suit and black tie.
He and Meghan had been due to attend a charity event in London before having to change their plans last minute as a result of the Queen's ill health.
Harry, who was in the UK on the last leg of what was planned to be a brief tour, had not yet seen the Queen or any of the royals during their visit. The California-based couple made an appearance at the One Young World summit in Manchester on Monday.
King Charles will return to London today, where he will meet with officials to discuss plans for the Queen's funeral and is expected to record a speech.
A number of commemorative displays to mark the Queen's passing, including gun salutes, will also take place at various locations in London.

His Holiness Pope Francis has expressed his sadness over the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.
The Pontiff has sent a telegram to King Charles III to convey his condolences.
“I offer heartfelt condolences to Your Majesty, the Members of the Royal Family, the People of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth,” Pope Francis said.
“I willingly join all who mourn her loss in praying for the late Queen’s eternal rest, and in paying tribute to her life of unstinting service to the good of the Nation and the Commonwealth, her example of devotion to duty, her steadfast witness of faith in Jesus Christ and her firm hope in his promises,” the Pontiff added.
“I assure Your Majesty of my prayers that Almighty God will sustain you with his unfailing grace as you now take up your high responsibilities as King. Upon you and all who cherish the memory of your late mother, I invoke an abundance of divine blessings as a pledge of comfort and strength in the Lord,” Francis said.
King Charles is expected to fly to London and address the nation on Friday.
Earlier in a statement, King Charles III said: “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,” His Majesty added.

With the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, Prince Charles has finally become king of the United Kingdom and 14 other realms, ending a wait of more than 70 years — the longest by an heir in British history.
Charles, the oldest person to ever assume the British throne, has become King Charles III. No date has been set for his coronation yet.
The new role will be daunting. His late mother was overwhelmingly popular and respected, but she leaves a royal family that has seen reputations tarnished and relationships strained, including over lingering allegations of racism against Buckingham Palace officials.
His eldest son, William, 40, now the heir himself, leads a life of traditional duty, charity work and military pageantry. Younger son Harry, 37, resides outside Los Angeles with his American ex-actress wife Meghan and family, forging a new career more in keeping with Hollywood than Buckingham Palace. The brothers, once very close, are now barely on speaking terms.
Charles’ relationship with his own brothers isn’t much to write about either, with his version of a trimmed down monarchy leaving out the tainted Prince Andrew and his daughters. The change in titles that Charles’ elevation to the throne brings is likely to further change power equations in the British royal family.
Here’s a look at the new royal order of succession and what new titles some of them can look forward to now:
- King Charles III: Prince Charles is now the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He is also King of other Commonwealth realms and Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. As the Duke of Lancaster now, Charles will receive revenue from the Duchy of Lancaster, the hereditary landed estate which forms a vital component of the sovereign’s income. Charles will now be styled His Majesty instead of His Royal Highness, while his wife Camilla, who is Queen Consort now, will be styled Her Majesty.
- Prince William is the elder son of Charles and the late Princess Diana. He is married to Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge. Their three children follow him in the line of succession. As heir to the throne, the Duke of Cambridge is now the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge since he inherits the Cornwall title from his father now. He is also entitled to the multimillion-pound annual net surplus from the Duchy of Cornwall landed estate. But William is not yet the Prince of Wales, the title traditionally used for the male heir to the throne. It is not passed on automatically and at some stage, William will be bestowed the title by his father. William’s wife Kate will now be the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge. When William becomes the Prince of Wales, Kate will become the Princess of Wales, a title that belonged to Diana when she was married to Charles.
- Prince George of Cambridge is William and Kate’s eldest child, born in July 2013. He will now be known as Prince George of Cornwall and Cambridge. When William becomes the Prince of Wales, George will become Prince George of Wales.
- Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, born in May 2015, is William and Kate’s second child and only daughter. She will now be known as Princess Charlotte of Cornwall and Cambridge. When William becomes the Prince of Wales, Charlotte will become Princess Charlotte of Wales.
- Prince Louis of Cambridge, born in April 2018, is William and Kate’s youngest child. He will now be known as Prince Louis of Cornwall and Cambridge. When William becomes the Prince of Wales, Louis will become Prince Louis of Wales.
- Prince Harry is the younger son of Charles and Diana, and is the Duke of Sussex. His title or that of his wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, will not change. The couple stopped using the HRH styles following an acrimonious falling out with the royal family.
- Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was born to Harry and Meghan in May 2019. Technically, Archie is now a Prince as per the rules laid out by King George V in 1917. According to a report in the Independent, when Archie was born, he was allowed to become the Earl of Dumbarton – one of Harry’s subsidiary titles — or could have been known as Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. But the Buckingham Palace had then said his parents wanted him to be known simply as Master Archie instead. At his birth, Archie was reportedly too lower down in the pecking order to be accorded the title of prince as per the restrictions placed by George V, but as the grandson of the sovereign, he can be titled a prince and styled His Royal Highness. In the bombshell Oprah interview, however, Meghan Markle had said Archie was not accorded the prince title because of his mixed race.
- Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, born to Harry and Meghan in June 2021, is now technically a princess and if she uses the title, will be styled HRH Princess Lili of Sussex.
- Prince Andrew is Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s second-eldest son. Andrew was stripped of his honorary military roles in January amid the furor surrounding a lawsuit alleging he had sex with a 17-year-old girl and fears that the scandal would taint the House of Windsor. The queen also removed his honorary leadership of various charities, known as royal patronages, and barred him from using the title “his royal highness” in official settings.
- Princess Beatrice is the elder daughter of Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson
- Sienna Elizabeth, born in September 2021, is the daughter of Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
- Princess Eugenie is Andrew and Sarah’s younger daughter
- August Brooksbank was born to Eugenie and James Brooksbank in February 2021
- Prince Edward is the Queen and Philip’s youngest child
- James, Viscount Severn, is the younger child of Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex
- Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor is Edward and Sophie’s daughter

Leclerc and Bearman will tackle the final round of the season at Monza this weekend, going all out for the best possible result at the Temple of Speed.
It’s time for the final round of the Formula 3 championship, with teams heading straight from Zandvoort to Monza for what looks like being a very exciting event. The unique features of the Monza track make this weekend very special, with its high speeds and hard braking and plentiful opportunities for overtaking. The track layout encourages duels, so that the final outcome of the races is hard to predict and can often be quite different to the order from qualifying.
A big ask. After the last round in the Netherlands, Bearman is fourth in the championship, 21 points behind the leader, Victor Martins, while Leclerc is sixth, 25 off the lead. It will not be easy for the two Ferrari Driver Academy students to aim at the top spot, but Monza has often produced completely unexpected results.
Trying everything. “Later we can assess the season as a whole, but for now, it’s time to focus on Monza and try and get the best possible result,” said the head of the FDA, Marco Matassa. “In terms of the championship, points alone will not be enough and we would need some favourable circumstances to play out. We are tackling the weekend in the spirit of giving it our best shot and leaving no stone unturned. So I hope that all the Prancing Horse fans at the track this weekend will also give our guys an extra boost. I’m expecting to see an incredible crowd and it will be a real thrill for Arthur and Oliver to race in this atmosphere.”
Programme. The action at Monza starts on Friday with free practice at 9.15 local time, followed by qualifying at 15.30. Then it’s back on track on Saturday for the Sprint Race at 10.35, while the Feature Race gets underway on Sunday at 8.35.

The Karnataka health department’s first sero-prevalence survey in the 6-14 age group has found that 75.38 per cent of unvaccinated children were exposed to coronavirus.
“The overall adjusted seroprevalence of IgG (immunoglobulin-G, a type of antibody prevalent in blood and other body fluids) was 75.38% at the state level, obtained after adjusting for the sensitivity and specificity of the antibody testing kit. There were no previous surveys in the paediatric age groups (6-14 years). Thus, it was planned to conduct COVID-19 Sero Survey among paediatric age group, based on the recommendation from Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Karnataka, keeping in mind the epidemiological issues related to infections following the three waves and the state’s progress in vaccination,” said the survey report released on Thursday evening.
The survey was conducted across the state from June 6 to June 14. The health department previously conducted surveys among adults in September 2020 and January 2021, in which the sero-positivity rates of 16.8 per cent and 15.6 per cent were found. A sero-survey involves the testing of blood serum to monitor the prevalence of coronavirus.
A total of 5,358 participants were enrolled for the study. As many as 2,726 (50.9 per cent) were boys and 2,632 (49.1 per cent) were girls. Of these, 1,662 (31 per cent) belonged to the 6-8 age group and 1,917 (35.8 per cent) to the 9-11 age group. The rest, 1,779 (33.2 per cent), were in the 12-14 age group.
Children from urban slums formed 30.3 per cent (1,625) of the participants, and 1,681 (31.4 per cent) of the surveyed were from urban non-slum areas. The rest, 2,052 (38.3 per cent), were from rural areas. The percentage of school-going children was 93.5 per cent (5,013). Only 709 (13.23 per cent) participants were symptomatic and the rest, 4,649 (86.77 per cent), were asymptomatic, the report added.
“Of the 5,358 participants surveyed, 57 samples were rejected, and 23 samples had inconclusive results, giving a total of 5,278 valid RT-PCR results. Among the valid RT-PCR reports, only 2 (0.04%) were RT-PCR positive, one symptomatic participant from Udupi and one asymptomatic participant from Chitradurga,” it said.
The report also said that over 86.88 per cent of the children in Bengaluru municipal corporation were exposed to Covid. “The highest seroprevalence of IgG was seen in the East Zone (95.19 per cent), followed by Yelahanka (94.69 per cent) and Rajarajeshwari Nagar (91.64 per cent). The lowest seroprevalence of IgG was seen in the Dasarahalli zone (62.37 per cent),” the report said.

MANILA, Philippines – London Bridge is down. Queen Elizabeth, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, died on Thursday, September 8 (Friday, September 9 in Manila), at the age of 96.
Her death drew instant attention on social media, as tributes poured in from world leaders following the announcement from Buckingham Palace.
“Queen Elizabeth” immediately took the top worldwide trend on Twitter. Other keywords – such as “Charles,” “Royal Family,” “London Bridge,” and “Lizzy” – were also among the top trends following the queen’s death.
Social media users shared different views on Queen Elizabeth’s legacy to the United Kingdom and around the world.
Some said that the queen “showed grace and kindness” in her more than 70-year reign.
“Queen Elizabeth II served in a role she didn’t choose, she never asked for, and lived a life she may have not enjoyed all because that was what was expected of her,” one user said.
Elizabeth ascended the throne upon the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6, 1952, at the age of 25, while she was in Kenya on a royal tour.
While some mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth, others said her reign “hurt millions of people and cultures spanning multiple generations,” as she served as the head of state of colonies that were part of the British empire.
Before her death, the queen remained the head of state of 14 countries outside of the United Kingdom, known as Commonwealth realms, including Australia, Canada, Jamaica, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.
“Imagine if the world showed this much care and empathy for the communities that Queen Elizabeth II and the [British] monarchy colonized and ravaged,” said best-selling American author Frederick Joseph.
Accession of Charles
Following the death of the queen, her son King Charles III ascends to the throne. One user said that the accession is a “reminder that the monarchy is a symbol of continuity and stability” in the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Twitter user Kayla Adams said that she “finds it really sad that for the next 10 days he has to sit in several meetings every day and go through all the paperwork and protocol instead of mourning the loss of his mother…privately.”
Others are more concerned about how much Elizabeth’s funeral and Charles’ coronation would cost the UK economy, as the country is on the brink of a recession.
Despite the varying views on the death of Queen Elizabeth, many would agree that it marks the “end of an era” for the United Kingdom.

Mastermind of Kolkata schoolboy murder caught at train station, tried to flee
Kolkata:
The prime suspect in the murder of two 17-year-old boys from Kolkata was arrested this morning in Howrah district, West Bengal, police said.
Satyendra Choudhury, the suspected mastermind in the twin murder case, has been arrested by a special squad from Howrah Railway Station, a senior officer from Bidhannagar Police Station has said.
The main suspect in the case was arrested while trying to escape, the senior officer told Press Trust of India.
Four suspected accomplices of Satyendra Choudhury were arrested earlier in connection with the incident.
The bodies of two boys were found at the Basirhat morgue on September 6, almost two weeks after their disappearance. Police later said the two were strangled to death.
Local police in Malancha area of North 24 Parganas district had spotted the bodies on the Basanti highway and taken them to the morgue.
The West Bengal government on Wednesday suspended the inspector in charge and another officer from the Baguiati police station, where a missing person complaint had been filed by the boys’ parents.
The matter was forwarded to the State CID from Baguiati PS under Bidhannagar Police Station, the officer said.
Both the Criminal Investigations Department and the Bidhannagar Police were on the trail of the main defendant who allegedly took the two boys from Baguiati on the pretext of helping them buy a second-hand bicycle on August 22 and, two days later, demanded a ransom of Rs 1 crore.
The ransom demand was made after the two boys were killed in a car, the officer added.

Miami-Dade School Board Rejects Creation of October LGBTQ History Month
MIAMI – To cheers from some attendees, the Miami-Dade School Board voted Wednesday night to reject the decision to make October LGBTQ History Month.
Dozens of attendees were allowed in to voice their opinions on the matter, but the meeting turned noisy.
Earlier in the day, Rivers Lopez Pozo waved a bright gay flag in front of the Miami-Dade School Board building.
Pozo supported a resolution that would have made October LGBTQ History Month.
“History matters and there is a lot of history in the LGBTQ community,” she said.
More than 50 people were waiting at the entrance to speak on the subject. Inside, it was controversial as speakers supported and rejected the resolution.
“There is a terrible campaign of fear,” said outgoing board member Dr. Marta Perez.
The Miami-Dade resolution adds that 12th graders could learn about two landmark Supreme Court decisions regarding same-sex marriage and employers banning firing someone for being gay.
“It’s not about beliefs. It’s about acknowledging the struggle,” said school board sponsor Lucia Baez-Geller.
But some say it will violate their parental rights, but the governor’s office says it won’t violate the parental rights bill that was recently signed into law. This law prohibits the teaching of gender identity or sexual orientation in kindergarten through 3rd grade.
In a written response, the governor’s office said, “The celebrations do not violate the law.”
“The components of the program are entirely dependent on their specific content and presentation. The Department of Education would review and determine if there is any discrepancy with state standards.”

Queen Elizabeth II was admired at home and around the world during her reign – the longest in British and world history.
Ascended to the throne in 1952 at the age of 25, Elizabeth became the UK’s longest reigning monarch in September 2015 when she surpassed Queen Victoria’s record by nearly 64 years. Elizabeth became the world’s longest-serving monarch and head of state when Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej died in October 2016 after spending 70 years on the throne.
During her lifetime, the Queen was patron of hundreds of charities and organizations and was one of the most traveled world leaders.
CNBC looks back on some of the British monarch’s most memorable moments.

Elizabeth was born on April 21, 1926, the first child of the then Duke and Duchess of York. In 1930, Elizabeth’s parents gave birth to her sister, Princess Margaret Rose.
“Lilibet” ascended the throne sooner than anyone expected. Her uncle, the childless King Edward VIII, abdicated in December 1936 over his romance with divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth’s father became King George VI, subsequently placing her in succession.

Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, her third cousin and member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluecksburg, met in 1934 at the wedding of Philip’s cousin, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. However, it was not until July 1947 that the couple officially became engaged. They were married on November 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey.

A year later, on November 14, 1948, Elizabeth gave birth to the first of her four children, Prince Charles. Before coming to the throne, Elizabeth had two children, Charles and Princess Anne (1950), who were later followed by Prince Andrew in 1960 and Prince Edward in 1964.

Members of the Royal Family represent many organizations and charities around the world. More than 3,000 groups list a member of the royal family as a patron or president. In recent years, the Queen has been patron of more than 600 organisations, whose causes include the environment, education and health.

Elizabeth’s relationship with the British public was almost always warm, although she was criticized for staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland for several days after Diana’s death in 1997 rather than returning immediately to London. The family later said they stayed at Balmoral to protect and prepare grieving Princes William and Harry, then aged 15 and 12, for their mother’s funeral.

On November 20, 1992, the Queen’s 45th wedding anniversary, a fire at Windsor Castle caused extensive damage that took years to repair. But that was just one of many events that prompted the Queen to declare 1992 “annus horribilis”. Prince Andrew’s split from the former Sarah Ferguson was announced in March. The following month, Princess Anne divorced Captain Mark Phillips. In June, Princess Diana’s tell-all book was released. Her revelations included her husband Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles.
The Queen’s Speech

During the coronavirus outbreak, the Queen gave a rare video speech on April 5, 2020, to promise her subjects that they will prevail over the coronavirus. “We will succeed – and that success will belong to all of us. We should be reassured that even though we have more to endure, better days will return,” she said from Windsor Castle.
A love for animals

Besides horses, another animal the Queen loved was the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. While her husband was undergoing treatment for his latest illness in early 2021, the Queen acquired two puppies, a corgi which she named Muick and a dorgi, a cross with a dachshund, which she named Fergus. They were named, respectively, after Loch Muick on the Balmoral estate and his late uncle Fergus Bowes-Lyon, who was killed in the First World War. Sadly, Fergus the pup died of a heart condition in May at the age of 5 months.

The meeting was part of a routine in which the Queen carried out her constitutional role of appointing a new Prime Minister – a sequence of events she has overseen 15 times. However, she broke with tradition and appointed Truss of Scotland rather than go to Buckingham Palace, as is usually the case.

Miami school board rejects recognition of ‘LGBTQ history month’
The Miami-Dade School Board voted overwhelmingly to reject recognizing October as “LGBTQ History Month.”
After listening to three hours of heated debate, the council voted 8-1 on Wednesday night to overturn the measure that would also have included teaching 12th grade students Supreme Court cases. Oberfell v. Hodges (inventing the constitutional right to same-sex marriage) and Bostock v. County of Clayton (Added “sexual orientation” protection to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964).
Last year, the board voted 7 to 1 in favor of defining October as “LGBTQ History Month,” which did not include teaching about Oberefell Where Bostock.
The only vote in favor came from school board member Lucia Baez Geller, who proposed the measure.
“It’s an election year and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric is a tool used by some to spread misinformation,” she said, according to the Miami Herald. “It’s just pure misinformation.”
The outlet also reported that 35 to 45 people lined up to comment in favor or against the measure.
Those who came out in favor of the measure argued that passing the measure would create a “safe and reaffirming environment”.
Maxx Fenning, head of PRISM FL who, according to the Herald is a “non-profit organization that provides sexual health information to LGBTQ+ youth” went further by comparing those who oppose the measure to the Nazis.
He spoke with a pink triangle on his shirt in reference to the pink triangle the Nazis made gay people wear, saying, “LGBTQ history is American history.”
The overly predictable tactics of the left comparing those who disagree with them to the Nazis did not influence the picture, however.
Many of those who spoke out against the measure feared it was another example of a school board trying to indoctrinate children, with one pastor telling the Herald that it was a “Trojan horse”. Other opponents spoke of the rights and responsibilities of parents in teaching their children about LGBTQ people.
While Florida passed the Parental Rights in Education Bill, it only bans the teaching of sexual orientation through third grade. Miami-Dade’s measure to teach Supreme Court cases was aimed at 12th graders, but the district would still view the entire month of October as defined by different sexual orientations.
Baez Geller insisted parents and students could opt out of the Supreme Court’s portion of the measure.
The vote comes as the Miami-Dade County School Board moved to Conservative control on Aug. 23 — however, the new members are not expected to take office until November.
Miami-Dade is the fourth largest public school district in the nation.

House Speaker Pelosi, Secretary Buttigieg Tour San Francisco Central Subway Project; service on track to start this fall
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were in San Francisco today to check on the progress of the long-delayed Central Subway project.
The Muni Subway extension via SOMA, Union Square and Chinatown is still expected to serve passengers in the fall.
This is the long-awaited merry-go-round. The construction of the central metro is almost complete.
Today we accompanied local and national leaders on the train on the subway line from Union Square to Chinatown.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the US Secretary of Transportation took a closer look at what crews have been working on for years.
RELATED: Here’s a Look at SF’s Central Subway in Chinatown
“Thank you to the community for their patience over the many years of construction,” said SF Mayor London Breed.
Work began in 2010 on the Central Subway line.
Originally, this was to be done by December 2018.
The $1.6 billion project spans 1.7 miles and would connect downtown San Francisco to Chinatown via four stations.
RELATED: Report: San Francisco Central Subway Project Opening Could Be Delayed Again
Today, leaders applauded the progress of this massive transit project.
“The department was proud to support it a decade ago under President Obama with nearly $1 billion in funds. And that will pay dividends for generations to come,” Secretary Buttigieg said.
“This project has been a long time coming and not a minute too soon. Like many other communities, Chinatown needs this lifeline,” said Malcom Yeung, Executive Director of Chinatown CDC.
The majority of funding for Metro Central comes from federal funds and the New Starts program.
RELATED: San Francisco Central Subway Project Delayed Due to Pandemic Complications
“When we allocate resources, we want it to happen. There’s competition for it all. We want to see the dirt fly. We want it to happen,” Chair Pelosi said.
The central metro took a while to arrive, but many authorities say it’s worth the wait.
“The Central Metro will significantly reduce travel time and relieve congestion in some of the city’s busiest areas and it will connect to our regional BART and Caltrain systems,” Mayor Breed said.
While the central metro is about to start, leaders say more transit improvements are yet to come.

Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva: press conference, how to watch, everything you need to know
Jacques-Paul against Anderson Silva is actually happening. For real. Rumors had been swirling for weeks that negotiations for the fight were underway, but on Tuesday Paul made it official.
“My toughest test yet,” Paul said in a tweet. “I respect the legend, but it must be exterminated.”
After a stellar career in the UFC, Silva is arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. He is at least one of the top five. Silva broke several records during his reign as middleweight champion, but it was the style with which he destroyed his opponents that made him legendary.
“I know that in life everything has its purpose,” Silva said in a statement sent to ESPN. “Nothing happens by chance. So I thank God for my health, my family and my team for giving me this opportunity to continue doing what I love the most. I believe this will be the greatest event of fight of the year and will truly go down in sports history forever.”
Is there a press conference?
Of course there are. No massive combat sports event can take place without a wild press conference. Paul has already announced not one but of them presses next week in the US, live on Paul’s YouTube channel.
I wouldn’t expect anything too rowdy from these press conferences. Silva is a middle-aged man who doesn’t like to talk rudely. I would expect even Paul to treat Silva with a hint of reverence and respect.
The first will begin on Monday, September 12 at 11 a.m. PST.
When and where does the fight take place?
Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva is scheduled for October 29. The fight will take place at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix.
Where can I watch?
Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva will be available to watch on Showtime PPV. Details are coming, but the PPV event is set to kick off at 9 p.m. ET.
Who is Anderson Silva
As mentioned above, Silva is one of the greatest fighters in UFC history. After defeating Rich Franklin for the UFC middleweight title in October 2006, Silva went on to hold that title for a record 2,457 days. His 16-fight unbeaten streak in the UFC is a record that stands to this day.
But it was Silva’s fighting style that made him an icon. A flashy and elusive counter-attacker, he did things that seemed impossible. Fighting with his hands down, landing outlandish kicks, knees and punches from wild angles, Silva is essentially the Roy Jones Jr. of MMA. For many, he is the greatest martial artist who ever lived.
After finally losing his title to Chris Weidman in 2013, Silva endured a tough losing streak, which led to him leaving the UFC in 2020 at the ripe old age of 45. Since then, he has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence in boxing. Most notably, he outclassed former world champion Julio César Chávez Jr. in an eight-round boxing match.
Who is Jacques-Paul?
You probably know Paul, the social media personality who first made it big on Vine before moving to every platform out there. He switched to boxing in recent years after fighting on the undercard of his brother Logan Paul’s viral boxing match with British YouTuber KSI. He showed a talent for boxing and has been fighting ever since.
Paul also moved on to the promotion, co-promoting a huge fight between Irishman Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano that was one of the greatest women’s boxing matches of all time.
Is it a fair fight?
Paul has been selective about his opponents so far, which is smart. Each new fight is a step up in competition, but this one is unique for several reasons.
Size is perhaps the most important. All of Paul’s other fights so far have been against a dramatically undersized fighter. Paul has a fight weight of 190 pounds, but in his last fight he faced Tyron Woodley, who in his UFC heyday competed at 170 pounds.
Silva was the UFC middleweight champion with a fight weight of 185 pounds. Not only that, he steadily increased his weight to fight in the UFC light heavyweight division. Arguably his best performance ever – a dramatic takedown of former champ Forrest Griffin in 2009 – came in that weight class, at 205 pounds.
Unlike Woodley, Silva also has previous boxing experience. More recently, he has focused on sports, achieving some extremely impressive victories. Silva is also one of the deadliest forwards in MMA history.
But Silva is also 47 years Old. It’s quite old. Veteran in combat sports. To be clear, he’s not a normal 47-year-old, but age is still a huge, huge factor.
I guess we will find out how many factor in October.

Suit accuses Portland of violating the ADA by allowing homeless camps to block sidewalks
Residents of Portland, Oregon with physical disabilities have filed a lawsuit accusing the city of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by not clearing homeless encampments from the sidewalks of the town.
The federal class action lawsuit filed Tuesday says Portland has failed to keep sidewalks accessible to people with reduced mobility by allowing encampments to proliferate unchecked.
The 55-page lawsuit blames city officials for leaving sidewalks “inaccessible, unsafe and unsanitary” because they are “blocked by tent camps and accompanying debris.”
“The city has failed and continues to fail to keep its sidewalks free of debris and tent encampments, which is necessary to make its sidewalks easily accessible to people with reduced mobility,” the lawsuit states.
The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, Tiana Tozer, 54, is a former aid worker and two-time Paralympic medalist.
A federal class action lawsuit filed Tuesday says Portland has failed to keep sidewalks accessible to people with reduced mobility by allowing encampments to proliferate
The lead plaintiff in the suit, Tiana Tozer, 54 (left and right in 1996), is a former aid worker and two-time Paralympic medalist.
Mayor Ted Wheeler faced a growing backlash over the issue of sprawling tent camps and tried to crack down on areas where street camping is allowed
At the age of 20, Tozer was hit by a drunk driver and has a permanent disability that prevents her from walking.
She went on to win bronze and silver at the Paralympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 and Atlanta in 1996.
Tozer was also a congressional intern in the early 1990s and helped pass the Americans with Disabilities Act – which requires public facilities to be accessible, and it’s the same law under which the retrial was brought.
The lawsuit alleges that Tozer “finds herself frequently having to alter her routes to maneuver around tented camps in the Lloyd District and downtown Portland.”
He adds: “Sometimes Ms Tozer had to maneuver in the street because the sidewalks are completely blocked by tent camps.”
The other nine named plaintiffs in the lawsuit also have various disabilities, such as conditions that require them to use a wheelchair or electric scooter, or visual impairments that require the use of a cane.
“The city’s failure to reasonably curb and control the proliferation of tent camps has had a particularly detrimental impact on people with reduced mobility,” the lawsuit alleges.
A spokesman for Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler did not immediately respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment Thursday evening.
Tents are lined up along a residential street in Portland, with belongings strewn about and piles of trash on the pavement
Tents crowd the sidewalk littered with trash from homeless communities setting up camp in areas spread from downtown Portland now through suburbs
The lawsuit includes photos of sidewalks in Portland that are completely clogged with tents and litter, and notes that while some of them have been cleared, others are quickly springing up in their place.
Portland has seen an explosion in its unprotected population in recent years, beginning with the downturn at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In January, a survey found 5,228 people in Multnomah County were homeless, 3,057 of whom were sleeping rough.
Wheeler faced a growing backlash over it and tried to crack down on areas where street camping is allowed.
Under an emergency ordinance, Wheeler banned encampments near dangerous roads or city-sanctioned small housing villages that were erected in an effort to address the problem.
Last month, the ordinance was extended to ban sidewalk tents on major walking routes to schools in the city.
But many Portlanders say they’ve seen little change and after each sweep to clear encampments, they’re picking themselves up quickly.

Late last month, Portland residents Bruce and Rebecca ‘Becky’ Philip told DailyMail.com that they were ‘done with Portland’ due to the growing number of homeless camps that have arisen. spread to the suburbs from the city center.
“I’ve been here 65 years, but I’m done,” Bruce Philip said. “I’m done with Portland.”
“What is there to say, they move in, take over the neighborhood, do drugs, play their loud music and make a mess,” he said, adding that the homelessness crisis has ruined not just a few neighborhoods, but all of Portland.
The couple also pointed out that the homeless camp sweeps did not solve the problem and did not change their minds about the move.
“The city comes in and cleans up, then two weeks later they come back,” Bruce Philip said. “It’s a vicious cycle, and I’m done.”
Local estate agent George Patterson told DailyMail.com that homeless encampments encroaching on residents’ lawns is a topic that comes up with his clients “every day” and offers are falling in homes for sale In the region.
In one case, a first offer for a three-bedroom house asking for nearly $700,000 near a sanctioned homeless encampment, called Multnomah Village.
“We had an early offer on a house, but it fell through and there were concerns with the Multnomah village site,” Patterson said.
‘I can say [homeless encampments] permanently affect property values.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

Albert was crowned King George VI, and he married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (Queen Elizabeth). They had two children, Elizabeth and Margaret. When George died in 1952, Elizabeth began her long and ongoing (as of 2019) tenure as Queen Elizabeth II. Her mother, Queen Elizabeth, became known as the Queen Mother. Elizabeth's sister, Princess Margaret, died in 2002.
Who is in line for the British throne?
In 1947, Elizabeth married Philip, Prince of Greece and Denmark, who was given the title Duke of Edinburgh. The couple had four children: Charles, who is first in line to the throne and will now become King of England following the Queen's death, followed by Anne, Andrew and Edward.
In 1981, Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer, who as Princess Diana became one of the most beloved members of the royal family of all time. The couple had two children, William and Harry.
Diana and Charles sensationally divorced in 1996 following infidelities on both parts. Charles had long been in a relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles. Upon their divorce, Diana was permitted to retain her title of Princess and had equal custody to her children.
At the age of 36, Diana died in a car crash in Paris, a tragedy which sent much of the world into mourning.
In 2005, Charles married Camilla, to become the Duchess of Cornwall.
Diana and Charles' first-born, Prince William, is second in line to the throne. In 2011, he married Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, and they have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 means that younger males can no longer take the throne over their older female siblings (previously, daughters could only inherit the British throne if there were no living sons). This means that the three children are all in line to the throne after their father, respective of their birth order.
In 2018, Prince Harry, who is sixth in line to the throne, married American actress Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, and in 2019 they had a son, Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, who is 7th in line to the throne. Younger sister Lilibet, born in 2021, is, as such, eigth in line for the throne.
Ninth in line to throne is Prince Andrew, who has long been embroiled in the controversial life of Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in prison in 2019. Andrew's children with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson - Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie - hold the tenth and eleventh places respectively.
The Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, is next in line, followed by his and his wife Sophie's children, James and Louise.
And then there's Queen Elizabeth's younger sister, Princess Anne, who is the 15th in line, followed by members of her family.

Over 20,000 people attended the first central selichot service of the year at the Western Wall on Thursday night, according to the Western Wall Heritage Foundation.
The foundation called on the public to come to services earlier in the month in order to spread out the crowds and protect the health and safety of visitors to the site.
This is the first year since 2019 that selichot prayers have been conducted at the Western Wall without special coronavirus regulations.
Stones of the Western Wall inspected ahead of the High Holidays
Last week, the stones of the Western Wall were inspected ahead of the selichot prayers and the upcoming High Holy Days.
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation inspects the stones of the wall twice per year: once before Passover and once before Rosh Hashanah.
The inspection team checked each stone's stability and level of upkeep and was halachically supervised by the rabbi of the Western Wall, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, in collaboration with the Israel Antiquities Authority.

Can You Hear What Biden Meant by 'Rededudenedefet' in Latest Word Slur?
Joe Biden needs a translator.
Granted, the president’s native language is English. We think. He certainly doesn’t seem to understand the nuances of it — but then, it’s not like changing tongues would make any difference.
Take Biden’s Labor Day speech to workers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Biden was bragging about reducing the deficit this year. Granted, those deficits were exacerbated by spending associated with the COVID pandemic, but that’s not going to stop him from bragging about it.
If only we could understand what he was bragging about.
Joe Biden attempts to say “reduce the deficit.” pic.twitter.com/otX4ixGYIX
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) September 5, 2022
Yes, the White House “rededudenedefet this year.” Good show!
PROMPTER: “Do you know how much we Reduced the deficit this year?”
BIDEN:“Do you know how much Rededudenedefet this year?”
pic.twitter.com/AjUu0RRNvg— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) September 5, 2022
One of the toughest jobs in politics has to be the official White House transcript writer. That’s because the president — a teetotaler, according to The New York Times — so frequently sounds like my drunk uncle giving the speech at my cousin’s graduation party that his words are nigh incoherent.
Here’s the official transcribed version of what he said: “And you know how much — you know how much I’m reducing the deficit this year? One trillion, five hundred thousand reduction of the deficit.”
Even that’s not particularly coherent, though close enough for government work — at least the kind of government work Biden has spent his adult life making a hash of. But it’s also not quite what most listeners would have divined.
This isn’t even the worst instance of the slurring. For my money, this one from the campaign trail back in October of 2020:
Joe Biden: “I’ll lead an effective strategy to mobilize [unintelligible]!” pic.twitter.com/cggH79eZB1
— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 30, 2020
What he said! Even though what he said was “truinnerashuvaduprezure!” (It’s possible there was an “international pressure” hidden in there somewhere — possible, if not reassuring.)
It’s not just word-slurring, either. Here’s Biden from earlier this year, talking about how the administration was going to “accommodate” the “kleptocracies” in Russia:
Is everything okay?
We carried Presdient Biden’s Ukraine remarks live on @FaulknerFocus today. #kleptocracy pic.twitter.com/aINZImChEy
— HARRISFAULKNER (@HARRISFAULKNER) April 29, 2022
Of course, when he can be understood and speaks in coherent sentences, he’s still not the brilliant wordsmith he clearly thinks he is.
Here he is in August, telling reporters he was “not worried” about China’s moves on Taiwan, although he was “concerned.”
Speaking with reporters at Dover AFB, President Biden responds to question about China’s actions towards Taiwan.
Biden: “I’m not worried but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are. But I don’t they’re going to do anything.” pic.twitter.com/Ugu1UHOs2O— CSPAN (@cspan) August 8, 2022
For most Americans, whatever the hair-splitting difference Biden thinks there is between “worry” and “concern” would not be a great comfort under normal circumstances.
And when it’s coming from a president who was similarly complacent about the prospect of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan a year ago, and misread Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intentions toward Ukraine so badly six months ago, it’s no comfort at all.
And let’s not forget the greatest Bidenism of them all, from February of 2020:
Two years ago today, Joe Biden came to New Hampshire and called a voter a “lying dog faced pony soldier”#nhpolitics

Just for fun, here’s Biden trying to explain what a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” is by referring to an old John Wayne movie:

You’ll not be surprised, however, that Biden is probably wrong about the John Wayne part, too.
Quoth Vox: “The general consensus seems to be that Biden is probably thinking of the 1952 Tyrone Power film ‘Pony Soldier,’ in which a character says, ‘The pony soldier speaks with a tongue of the snake that rattles.'”
Of course, this would all be funny if it weren’t so serious. We’ve been watching Biden degrade in real time since the beginning of the presidential campaign in 2019. It gets worse and worse — and yet, the White House insists he’ll be the Democratic candidate in 2024.
By that time, I don’t think he’ll be “rededudenedefet” anymore, thanks to his spending habits. That could be the least of our worries, however.

Mumbai, Sep 09: The ten-day Ganesh festival celebrated across Maharashtra with fervour is concluding on Friday, and processions for the immersion of idols of the deity are being taken out, for which the authorities in Mumbai and other parts of the state have made elaborate arrangements.
The festival dedicated to the elephant-headed god had begun on August 31. At the culmination of the festival on Anant Chaturdashi, the idols of Lord Ganesh are taken to nearby water bodies and immersed. Devotees take the idols for immersion in a grand processions.
The idols of Lord Ganesh were installed in homes and public pandals across the state with pomp and gaiety this year with the coronavirus pandemic no longer casting its shadow on the celebrations. The pandemic-induced restrictions had curtailed the celebration in the last two years.

The authorities in Mumbai, Pune and other parts of the state have made elaborate arrangements for the immersion of idols and processions.
Processions began in Mumbai and other parts of the state on Friday morning amid chants of ''Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhachya Varshi Lavkar Ya'', beating of drums and sprinkling of gulal.
In Mumbai, more than 20,000 police personnel as well as other specialised units will be on duty.
The festivities this year were held without COVID-19 pandemic norms and several thousand people are expected to take part in immersion processions across Mumbai, an official has said.
The immersions will take place at Girgaon Chowpatty (beach), Shivaji Park, Bandra, Juhu and Malad, apart from 70 natural lakes as well as artificial ponds made by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), he added.
Girgaon Chowpatty is one of the major spots for immersion of popular idols like Lalbaugcha Raja.
''Expecting huge crowds, the deployment comprises more than 15,500 police personnel, 3,200 police officers, eight State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) companies, one Rapid Action Force (RAF) company, 750 home guards and 250 trainees. There will also be a large posse of traffic police,'' the official said.
Police personnel will be on a strict vigil across the city to thwart any untoward incident during the immersion processions and to maintain the law and order situation, he said.
There will be traffic restrictions on several roads as well as diversion in Mumbai on Friday, so people wanting to boards flights or long-distance trains must make arrangements accordingly, the official added.

The civic body has also arranged 45 motor boats and 39 German barges for the immersion of Ganesh idols, while 48 inspection towers have been erected and barricades have been put some place for safety reasons, the release said.
For improved visibility at immersion points, 3,069 flood lights and 71 searchlights have been installed and 211 reception rooms created for better coordination, it added.
In Pune, more than 8,000 police personnel will patrol the streets for Ganesh idol immersions, a senior official said.
Pune Police Commissioner Amitabh Gupta said CCTVs had been installed at several spots in the city for monitoring, while many roads will have traffic restrictions and diversions.
''Nearly 3,000 registered Ganesh pandals will carry out immersions. They will be allowed to play music only till midnight. All guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court will have to be followed strictly,'' he said.

Company Emerges from Chapter 11 with a Healthier Financial Foundation
Communities Continue to Operate Uninterrupted, Prioritizing Resident Health and Well-being
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle Delaware Holding Company LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Eagle Senior Living" or the "Company") today announced that they have successfully completed a comprehensive financial reorganization to achieve a more balanced and sustainable capital structure. The Company has implemented its plan of reorganization, approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on April 27, 2022. Eagle Senior Living has significantly reduced its debt service and enhanced its liquidity position, creating a stronger financial foundation.
As part of the Chapter 11 process, Eagle Senior Living executed a transaction whereby the Company's Vista Lake community was acquired by Atlantis Senior Living LLC. The sale of Vista Lake has closed, and the Vista Lake community is no longer an Eagle Senior Living community. All other Eagle Senior Living communities continue to operate uninterrupted, providing high-quality care and amenities to all residents.
"Through this process, we have secured a bolstered financial structure—allowing our communities to be the place for residents to do more of what they love for years to come," said Todd Topliff, President of American Eagle Delaware Holding Company LLC. "I would like to thank our residents and their family members for their ongoing support, our business partners for their patience, and all of our loyal employees for their unwavering hard work and dedication to providing all residents with the highest quality of care as we have worked to complete this process. We are optimistic about our future."
Greenbrier Senior Living continues to manage all of the communities remaining with Eagle Senior Living.

Eagle Senior Living was represented in this matter by Polsinelli as legal counsel and FTI Consulting as restructuring and financial advisor.
