WASHINGTON, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following is a statement by Jen Judson, President of the National Press Club and Gil Klein, President of the National Press Club Journalism Institute on developments this week in the murder case of journalist Jeff German of the Las Vegas Review.
"In a week of fast-moving events, we wanted to congratulate the Las Vegas police department for their swift and professional work in finding and arresting a suspect in Jeff German's murder. This was clearly a priority for the department and the community, and as sad as the story is, we find hope that Las Vegas was not going to let this go but was determined to chase the leads and do the work. And some of the journalism -- online and on television -- was no doubt helpful in leading to an arrest.
We cannot remember an elected politician attacking a journalist like this. We hope never to see it again. So far, 39 journalists have been killed in the U.S. during our history, and many of those were in the Civil War. Since 2003, 10 journalists have been killed in our country in six incidents. The Capital Gazette, where the newsroom was attacked because of what was written, comes immediately to mind. It was not long ago. Journalists can be killed while doing their work.
Las Vegas reacted as a community that did not want to lose its journalism and wanted to protect its journalists. In a week of awful events, that stood apart. The actions of reporters and the police were inspiring."
Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world's leading professional organization for journalists. With 3,000 members representing every major news organization, the club is a leading voice for press freedom in the U.S. and worldwide.
The National Press Club Journalism Institute promotes an engaged, global citizenry through an independent and free press and equips journalists with skills and standards to inform the public in ways that inspire a more representative democracy. As the non-profit affiliate of the National Press Club, the Institute powers journalism in the public interest.

Murphy (illness) is questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Chiefs, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Murphy landed on the injury report Friday as a limited participant with an illness. The 2019 second-round pick will have two days to shake the aliment before attempting to suit up for Week 1. If he's unable to suit up, Javelin Guidry and Christian Matthew would be candidates for increased roles.

LONDON (AP) — The death of Queen Elizabeth II has triggered a series of carefully structured ceremonial and constitutional steps, as Britain undergoes a period of national mourning and heralds the reign of King Charles III.
The long-established 10-day plan, code-named Operation London Bridge, has been adapted to the specific circumstances of the queen’s death in Scotland, and some details haven’t been publicly confirmed.
Here is a look at what will happen in the coming days.
Friday, Sept. 9
— King Charles III and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, traveled from Balmoral Castle in Scotland to London.
— At noon, church bells rang at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral and across the country in honor of the queen.
— Also at noon, Parliament held a special session so lawmakers can pay tribute to the queen.
— A 1 p.m., gun salutes were fired in London’s Hyde Park and at military sites around the country, one round for reach of the 96 years of the queen’s life.
— Afternoon — The king met with new Prime Minister Liz Truss.
— 6 p.m. — The king made a televised address to the nation in which he spoke of his “profound sorrow” over the death of his mother, the queen, and vowed to continue her “lifelong service” to others.
— 6 p.m. — A service of remembrance was held at St. Paul’s Cathedral for the queen.
Saturday, Sept. 10
— 10 a.m. — Charles meets at St. James’s Palace with senior officials known as the Accession Council and is officially proclaimed king.
— 11 a.m. — An official reads the proclamation aloud from a balcony at St. James’s Palace. It is also read out in other locations across the U.K.
— 1 p.m. — Parliament holds a second day of tributes to the queen.
Subsequent days:
— The queen’s body is moved from Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands to Edinburgh, where the coffin is likely to rest at Holyrood Palace before being moved to St. Giles’ Cathedral so members of the public can pay their respects.
— The coffin will be transported by train or plane to London.
— The queen will then lie in state for several days in Parliament’s Westminster Hall, where the public will again be able to pay their respects.
— A state funeral at Westminster Abbey will be attended by leaders and dignitaries from around the world.
— The period of national mourning will end the day after the queen’s funeral.

King Charles III gets rave reviews for first speech
King Charles III received laudatory reviews of his first speech as monarch of the United Kingdom on Friday from a variety of British commentators.
King Charles spoke from Buckingham Palace following the death of his mother and predecessor, Queen Elizabeth II, at age 96 after she ruled for more than 70 years. During his address, he paid tribute to his mother and pledged to “uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.”
“As every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humor and an unerring ability always to see the best in people,” Charles said, referring to his mother.
The king acknowledged the history of the country since Queen Elizabeth’s reign began but referenced a “time of change” for the royal family.
Simon Lewis, Queen Elizabeth’s former press secretary, called King Charles’s remarks an “incredibly judged speech,” given the circumstances, on CNN.
“I think all the issues people wanted to hear about, he covered, and he covered very eloquently,” Lewis said.
The speech also received praise from Nigel Farage, a British broadcaster and former leader of the Brexit Party, which supported the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.
Farage said on Twitter that seeing Charles speak to the nation felt “strange” but that he “spoke beautifully about his beloved mother.” He said he saw “real sincerity” in Charles’s words and the inclusion of an “immediate attempt” to state that he would not be political.
Queen Elizabeth stayed away from politics throughout her reign, but King Charles has been vocal on several political issues like the environment and climate change.
He said that as king, he will no longer be able to devote as much of his time to charities and issues that he has cared for previously.
“But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others,” Charles said.
Broadcaster and commentator Piers Morgan said on his show, “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” that two people told him after watching the speech that Charles “nailed it,” calling the speech “amazing.”
Morgan agreed, saying the speech was “perfectly pitched” and “hit all the right notes.”
“It made me feel, as a British subject, confident about the way we’re going to be going under this king,” he said.
Morgan said Charles’s ability to address the country hours after losing his mother is a “remarkable thing.”
Former BBC correspondent and royal commentator Peter Hunt tweeted that King Charles gave a “pitch perfect” speech, honoring his mother and presenting the monarchy as safe in his hands with help from his son and the heir to the throne, Prince William.
Hunt also noted that Charles extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, in light of the tension that has existed between them and the rest of the royal family since the couple alleged that the family fostered a toxic environment.
Dan Wootton, the presenter of “Dan Wootton Tonight” and a columnist for the U.K.’s The Daily Mail, made similar points, noting that Charles signaled a willingness to move on from the issues he has advocated for, endorsed William and Kate Middleton as the prince and princess of Wales, respectively, and “expressed love” to Harry and Meghan.
“And most importantly, gave a heartfelt tribute and goodbye to his ‘darling mama’. He has started his reign very well,” Wootton said.

Sagging air cargo market shows turnaround potential
Airlines carried more freight during August doldrums, but predictions for peak season still difficult
New data shows the decline in air cargo business slowed in August, traditionally the weakest month for international carriage of goods by air, raising hopes the upcoming pre-holiday season will be busier than some previously expected amid external forces that are pulling the market in different directions.
The airfreight market last month contracted 5% year over year, and 4% compared to pre-pandemic levels, and shipping rates continued to float downward, following demand drops of 8% in June and 9% in July, according to Xeneta, an ocean and air freight rate benchmarking and data analytics firm. The downturn in air cargo began five months ago, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Reduced consumer expenditures due to the rising cost of living, slower global economic growth, a continued deceleration in new export orders, airport congestion, and high inventories in some categories for some large retailers are weighing on air cargo activity, analysts and economists say. At the same time, employment rates and wages remain high, U.S. industrial production and consumer demand are still solid, smaller retailers and industrial companies are still rebuilding inventories, and supply chain disruptions are still slowing shipments.
The unexpected bump in August cargo performance can partly be explained by the new parity of the strong dollar with the euro boosting demand from Europe to North America, said Niall van de Wouw, Xeneta’s chief airfreight officer, in his monthly update.
WorldACD, another provider of airfreight data, reported that worldwide tonnage during the past two weeks is slightly above their levels in mid-August, suggesting a possible stabilization of demand – below last year’s elevated levels. Year over year, the market is 9% smaller, it said.
Lagging data on Wednesday from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which waits for member airlines to report monthly traffic figures and uses a different methodology, confirmed July’s pullback. The trade association said demand fell 9.7% — more than the 6.7% negative growth in June — and that international volume was down 10.2% versus 2021. Compared to pre-pandemic 2019, cargo throughput shrank 3.5%.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, volume measured in cargo ton-kilometers slipped 2.3% in July compared to June, which was flat from May.
Latin America was the lone bright spot for air cargo, continuing a positive trend this year after missing out on the broader market recovery in 2021 because of lower capacity. Latin American carriers reported a 9.2% increase in year-over-year cargo volumes in July. Airlines in the region have responded to the wave of business with new services and equipment, with capacity up 21.4%.
Latam Cargo, for example, recently added its sixteenth 767-300 freighter, a factory-built edition from Boeing, and this summer began flying three new freighter services between Latin America and Europe via the United States.
European carriers, coping with the additional burden of the war in Ukraine and closed airspace in Russia, saw a decrease of 17% in cargo volumes. Cargo demand in North America was 5.7% less versus 2021, but that was an improvement from the 13.5% decline in June, according to IATA.
Middle Eastern carriers have not experienced an expected bump in business following Russia’s closure of its airspace to Western airlines, forcing carriers to take longer detours and light load aircraft to carry more fuel. Air cargo volumes in the region decreased 10.9%, while capacity increased nearly 5%.
International merchandise trade has increased a few points in recent months to 5% over 2021 levels, but ocean shipping has been the primary beneficiary, IATA said.
The Purchasing Managers Index, a measure of the prevailing economic direction for manufacturing, has shown softening in new export orders — historically a leading indicator for air cargo shipments — for the first half of the year. Export manufacturing is decreasing. Chinese factory production in August shrank for the second consecutive month, partially due to power shortages that forced factories to shut down or cut back production.
Meanwhile, renewed COVID-19 lockdowns in major Chinese cities are casting a shadow on a potential manufacturing and air cargo upturn during the normally busy pre-holiday rush. Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific, a major cargo carrier, issued informal guidance last week for softer demand this year after record 2021 volumes, citing concerns about inflation and supply chain disruptions such as airport congestion and COVID lockdowns in China.
More capacity stabilizes prices
Global air cargo capacity in August recovered 7% from the same period in 2021 primarily due to the reintroduction of widebody passenger aircraft as airlines responded to a spike in travel interest between Europe and North America, Xeneta’s air cargo unit, Clive Data Services, said. According to WorldACD, year-over-year capacity in Europe is up 19%/.
IATA reported that international travel is catching up to 2019 levels as border controls for COVID are relaxed. Total global passenger traffic rose 60% in July and is now three-quarters recovered, with Asia finally beginning to reopen more. International passenger traffic in July improved to 68% of 2019 levels, and available capacity on a per-seat basis is still down 32%.
The additional aircraft in the skies narrowed the capacity deficit relative to 2019 to 9%. IATA said the shortfall in air transport supply narrowed this summer but remains at 7.8%.
And the gap could widen as soon as October if passenger airlines begin to reduce schedules in anticipation of slower demand during the winter season.
Trans-Pacific cargo could also face a dip in capacity during September because the U.S. has suspended 26 China-bound flights by Chinese carriers in retaliation for China suspending American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines flights under newly revised COVID resrictions. The suspensions affect seven flights from New York to China and 19 China-bound flights from Los Angeles. The airlines include Xiamen, Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.
With cargo space increasing and traffic going down, planes are less full. Xeneta said load factors in August fell seven points from a year ago to 58%, similar to the fill rate for the past three months. IATA said cargo holds were only 47% full in July.
The sluggish demand and less severe fuel prices are gradually pushing down shipping prices, although various indices show they have stayed quite stable since mid-July. Average global rates for immediate bookings were $3.61 per kilogram in August, the lowest since September last year, according to Xeneta. Still, rates are 4% higher than a year ago and 113% above the 2019 level, although that is 43 points lower than in January.
“If the fall in demand is easing, as August indicates, that capacity shift could see a return to a seller’s market again and load factors return to the mid-70%-80% range. It is fair to assume volumes will be higher in November than in August,” van de Wuow said.
Other wild cards that could drive more air cargo traffic in the coming months include a looming dockworker strike at the Port of Felixstowe in the U.K., a rupture in unresolved labor negotiations for U.S. West Coast dockworkers, and rail and trucking supply challenges in the U.S. and Europe.
But Peter Stallion, who heads the air and container freight desk at London-based Freight Investor Services, said in his latest monthly commentary that inflation, the threat of recession and households in Europe paying significantly more to cover utility costs will severely dampen demand.
“As a predicator for Q4, air freight needs to take a look at the collapse of spot rates on the container freight markets. The seasonal demand peak for ocean freight is typically in Q3, but this seasonal peak has all but evaporated,” he wrote.

After a breakout performance in the Buckeyes’ first season against Notre Dame, teammates of Michael Hall from Ohio State gave him an extremely flattering comparison with an NFL player.
Linebackers J.T. Tuimoloau and Zach Harrison compared Hall to the all-time great quarterback Aaron Donald.
Head coach Ryan Day doesn’t want this compliment to turn Hall’s head.
“One thing we can’t do is listen to the noise… He has a very high potential and when he’s hungry he can be a very, very good player,” Day said.
Hall, a redshirt freshman, made four tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack during the Buckeyes’ 21-10 victory over Notre Dame. The former four-star recruit reportedly had a great offseason heading into his second year at Columbus.
Hall has a long way to go before he earns a true comparison with Donald, but there is no doubt that his college career has started well.
The No. 3 Buckeyes will face Arkansas State tomorrow afternoon.

Bill Belichick reveals 1 quote he regrets
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is not known for his introspection, nor does he easily admit mistakes. However, he’s willing to look back at one quote of his and admit he would have been better off keeping his mouth shut.
In 2009, Belichick was quite firm in saying that he would not “be like Marv Levy and coaching in my 70s.” Things obviously changed, as Belichick turned 70 in April and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Belichick admitted in an interview with Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe that, in retrospect, it was a stupid thing to say.
“I wish I hadn’t said that,” Belichick said. “I was probably thinking of what I would feel like. Now, there’s what I actually feel like, and those are two different things. That was not one of my better statements.”
Hey, at least Belichick admits it. It would have been easy to say something about his views changing, but he was happy to own up to just being wrong.
Belichick is showing no sign of slowing down, and certainly appears to have at least a few more years in him. He also has quite the challenge based on how things have apparently been going in the preseason.

PASADENA — The phone was ringing off the hook Thursday morning at Rose Tree Cottage, where Edmund Fry — “Sir Edmund,” as his guests often call him — and the frequent sound of the three-note door bell was chiming at his and his wife Mary’s English tea room and garden.
It wasn’t long ago this summer when Fry was happy to see a smiling Queen Elizabeth chatting with the country’s beloved Paddington Bear as part of a video celebrating The Queen’s Jubilee.
But on Thursday morning came the call of the Queen’s passing. And he found himself placing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth in the front yard of his cottage, where he and his wife have served tea for decades amid rooms and a patio adorned with all things British.
“We’ve gone from the joy of celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee to this,” said Fry, donning black tails, white gloves, a silky vest and white carnation on his lapel.
The tuxedo was not new. But the context on this particular day was. The passing of his native country’s longest-reigning monarch hit hard, even though he new the day would eventually come. After all, he remembers her coronation — that day in 1953 when the queen became the queen.
There was a hint of melancholy at Fry’s garden at what he and his wife have established as a happy place – an authentic piece of Britain right smack in the middle of L.A. County. But there was also pride.
“Her reign was magnificent. She was regaled all around the world. If there was ever a time someone was going to heaven, she’s in heaven now,” said Fry, as he moved room to room, answering phones, catching up with customers.
For decades, Fry and his wife Mary have been UK ambassadors of sorts at their cottage, serving their special brand of tea to visitors from all over the world, with the ubiquitous Union Jack placed on tables and walls – walls and patio canopies festively adorned with multicolored lights, finely placed tableware, and photos from Fry’s own family to British rock stars to British Royals and celebrities.

Along with the tea, and the atmosphere, are foods, Royal commemoratives, china, clothing.
“Full afternoon and special Teas, each by telephone reservation only,” their website proclaims. “If the clock has not passed 12 noon then Afternoon Tea cannot and will not be served! Freshly baked scones, and sausage rolls are still on the menu.”
Fry is proud of the couple’s Rose Tree Cottage’s African Children’s Charitable Foundation. Called “Bloom Where Planted,” he said it provides assistance to maintain the school buildings, provide materials, and improve the education of children who attend Rose Tree Cottage’s adopted school in Kenya.
But on Thursday, Fry was musing on the future and the past of the UK, the only monarch he’s ever known in his home country now gone, and her son ascending to the throne.
Outside, in honor of the Queen, Fry had set up a special table, re-enacting the Queen’s final happy days, a Paddington Bear ready for tea with a cardboard cut out of the Queen smiling, and her purse atop the table with two pieces of toast inside — a nod to the Jubilee video and the curiosity of what she carries in her fine bag.
“I’m still in a state of shock,” he said.
It wouldn’t be long before customers flowed in to Fry’s tea room, just to offer support.
“We can’t jump on a jet so this was the very best next thing,” said Anna Sanchez, of L.A.
“I feel sadness but also gratitude for what she gave both countries,” she said. “She gave hope and comfort. I think she was an ambassador of goodwill.”
Fry echoed Sanchez, noting that the endearing value of Elizabeth II was her steadiness on the thrown for so long.
He noted that her son, Prince Charles — now King Charles III — nor his son, will see that kind of longevity, no matter how great they might be.
That said, Fry was ready for the next chapter, the next era.
“The Queen is dead,” he said. “Long live the King.”
And with that, Fry prepared a toast, which he offered to his visitors.
“To Her Majesty,” he said.

Turkey prices are surging ahead of Thanksgiving due to disease
Americans are paying more than ever for turkey as a contagious virus leads to the destruction of millions of birds.
The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus is helping drive the price of turkey — specifically white boneless breast meat — to record highs, even as the hottest inflation in 40 years has cooled some in recent months. That may make the Thanksgiving meal even pricier this year.
"We've seen record prices for turkeys in recent days, and the spotlight is on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and its effect on the market," American Farm Bureau economist Bernt Nelson told CBS MoneyWatch.
Seven years after the last U.S. outbreak, HPAI has been hitting U.S. commercial poultry flocks all year, with the latest wave particularly disruptive to turkey suppliers.
This year, HPAI has been confirmed in 430 commercial and backyard poultry flocks across 39 states. The virus has wiped out nearly 44 million turkeys, chickens, ducks and other birds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
Minnesota outbreaks
The latest outbreak was confirmed Wednesday at a commercial turkey meat facility in Minnesota's Morrison County, with 50,000 birds lost.
Minnesota — the nation's biggest turkey producer — in late August detected its first outbreak of bird flu in three months at a turkey operation in Meeker County, resulting in the culling of 129,000 birds. Another outbreak was confirmed in the county the next day, claiming another 46,000 turkeys.
HPAI has so far reduced U.S. turkey production by about 3% versus year-ago levels, according to Nelson. "If we keep seeing these outbreaks, that's going to be a driver of prices," he said.
Egg prices have nearly tripled and turkey breast meat has jumped 60% to record levels this year, according to recently released analysis from CoBank.
"Coinciding with widespread outbreaks in U.S. turkey flocks during 2022, wholesale spot market values for fresh tom breast meat has eclipsed $6.50 per pound in recent weeks, a level previously deemed unattainable," writes CoBank economist Brian Earnest.
What it costs
In another nod to HPAI's impact, Hormel Foods' CEO listed the company's "limited turkey supply" as among the challenges facing the company as it last week lowered its yearly profit forecast.
Americans paid an average of $23.99 for a 16-pound bird last Thanksgiving, with the cost up about $1.50 a pound, or 24% higher than in 2020, the AFB estimated last November. While the bureau isn't out with its annual price forecast for 2022 yet, recent turkey prices signal the upcoming holiday could be a costly one.
A fresh 16-pound tom turkey now runs about $29.92, while a frozen version is going for about $26.24, and that is before the bird hits retail, as the figures are based on trading prices from the USDA. Consumers typically pay higher prices because grocers add on the costs of packaging, shipping and labor costs.
An eight-to-16-pound fresh whole young tom turkey averaged nearly $1.80 a pound in August and this week averaged $1.87 a pound, according to the agency. Frozen tom turkeys recently traded at $1.64 a pound, up two cents from $1.62 in August.
The good news? There should still be ample supplies of the meat for Thanksgiving, with the frozen birds most Americans buy for the annual holiday meal already in warehouses, according to the National Turkey Federation's Beth Breeding.
"We are still expecting the traditional holiday deals that you might see at the grocery stores," she told CBS MoneyWatch.

TRENTON, Ohio (WJW) — An Ohio family got a surprise visitor in the early morning hours on Friday as they were packing to leave for a trip.
According to a Facebook post from the Trenton police, a coyote crept into the first floor bathroom at some point during the 4 o’clock hour.
The post said the animal was most likely in the bathroom while family members used it, “unbeknownst to them” at the time.
“As a reminder, our city is surrounded by rural/agricultural areas that these animals call home,” the department said. “Please keep small pets and animals in mind during the evening hours, and please report any suspicious activity to our office.”
Officers say they were able to safely get the coyote out of the home and back into nature unharmed.

SUMMERFIELD, N.C. (WGHP) – John Doggett operates a farm that his family has owned for 200 years, but he says he feels threatened by being small and lacking support.
So Doggett, a member of the Summerfield Town Council who ran on a conservative agenda, stood before cameras in front of his family’s barn on Thursday and said why he was supporting Democrat Cheri Beasley in the race for North Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat.
Doggett said he wants to be sure the farm on Nanhall Road, called Doggettville Farm, which has produced tobacco and dairy products and now is focused on beef cattle and trees, stays in the family for a seventh generation when his granddaughter would take over.
But the economic realities of being a small player in an increasingly large business are daunting, he said, and Rep. Ted Budd (R-Advance), Beasley’s main opponent, hasn’t done the job in Congress.
Doggett said small farmers need easier access to capital and, in the beef industry, faster access to processing cows into food. He said to process one cow from his herd there were two waiting lists. “It would take years to process a cow,” he said. “With a goal of having a farm-to-table beef operation, those delays make it almost impossible.”
Doggett’s comments were part personal anecdote and part prepared remarks. He laced them with history and passion for what his family has done to maintain. He cited cutting down cedar trees to make the posts for fencing required to keep his cows on the property, simply as a way to save money.
Doggett was elected to the nonpartisan Summerfield Town Council with Mayor Tim Sessoms, a backer of former Rep. Mark Walker, who lost to Budd in the Republican primary, and with the support of former Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes, a vocal GOP leader who had served on the council, too.
But Doggett was not giving Budd any quarter for what he saw as Budd’s failure to support farmers such as him.
“We need someone in the U.S. Senate who will work to help the small farmers like us have easier access to capital to do improvements and buy equipment for our farm, and I feel Cheri Beasley is the person to do this,” he said. “With Ted Budd’s track record, I don’t feel he is the person that will look out for us farmers big or small – just look at his voting record on the 2018 Farm Bill. He has not shown that he will fight for farms like ours,”
Budd offers new farm-backing bill
Budd touts various positions supporting farmers on his website. This includes his introduction in July of H.R. 8069, the Reducing Farm Input Costs and Barriers to Domestic Production Act, which he cosponsored to help reduce “red tape regulations and extends loan programs to help farmers.”
But that legislation, which has not made it to the House floor, has a portion that is a political attack on the policies of President Joe Biden and ongoing inflation as much as it is to assist farmers in general.
The bill’s language indicates it is designed to extend the USDA’s loan program for farmers, but it also “removes Biden administration environmental red tape regulations, and reinstates the Trump regulation limiting the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule.”
“Farmers and growers are being hammered by rising input costs and skyrocketing inflation caused by the Biden administration,” Budd said in a statement. “This bill represents a conservative approach to support the people who put food on our tables in their time of need.”
Those aren’t the issues Doggett was discussing, and they didn’t address his views about the 2018 farm bill. During their primary campaign, Walker had attacked Budd’s failure to vote for that bill, which comes up every five years.
During 2018, Walker was representing Doggett’s neighborhood in the 6th Congressional District, and he supported the bill, as did House leadership.
Budd voted with the ultraconservative Freedom Caucus, which withheld its support because “leadership didn’t commit to a vote on their preferred immigration bill,” WRAL/PolitiFact reported in a factcheck of the record.
That analysis found that on June 21, 2021, vote Budd and Walker voted yes on a version that “aimed to reform the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known for providing food stamps.” But in a Dec. 12 vote, the House approved a bill that was different from their June 21 version and adopted more of the Senate’s preferences.
At the time, Jonathan Felts, Budd’s campaign spokesman told WRAL/PolitiFact:
“As any family farmer will tell you, you don’t support the farm by giving away the farm, and the 2018 Farm bill was bloated with overspending that also left out critical reforms to federal farm subsidies that would have better directed federal assistance to small, family farms that needed it the most.”
WRAL/PolitiFact said that “Budd is right that larger farms benefit the most from the government’s system for offering more subsidies to farms that produce more crops. To be clear, the bill when signed simply renewed many of the agriculture policies that were already law. And while many agricultural groups supported the bill, it also had its critics.”
A big industry
Doggett was joined Thursday by state Rep. Ashton Clemmons (D-Greensboro), who represents the nearby District 57 in northern Greensboro. Clemmons, who is up for re-election in November, was there to carry the argument for her party.
She also touted that North Carolina has about 52,000 farms and generates about $90 billion in annual revenue. The state says they cover 8.5 million acres, and it says that more than 1,600 of these farms are “century farms,” which means they have been owned by a family of 100 years or more, like the Doggetts.
John Doggett said he wants “towns like Summerfield to keep their rural atmospheres.”
Said Clemmons: “We need a leader who will make the investment in our farmers that they need. Simply put – that’s not Ted Budd. … Ted Budd voted against the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018, which included provisions to boost North Carolina’s hemp, cotton, and textile industries, and protect North Carolina livestock,”

Shares of Caterpillar Inc. climbed 3.3% in morning trading Friday, enough to pace the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s gainers, after the construction and mining equipment maker said the settlement reached wit the U.S. Internal Revenue Service included no penalty payments. The stock’s price gain of $5.97 was adding about 39 points to the Dow’s price, while the Dow rallied 200 points, or 0.6%. In a filing late Thursday, Caterpillar said the IRS settlement resolved all issues for tax years 2007 through 2016, “without any penalties.” The settlement includes the resolution of disputed tax treatment of profits earned by Caterpillar SARL from certain parts transactions. Financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed. “The settlement is within the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and enables us to avoid the costs and burdens of further disputes with the IRS,” the company stated in the filing. Caterpillar’s stock has dropped 15.5% over the past three months while the Dow has slipped 0.9%.Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

J&J Ventures Gaming is protesting a decision by the village of Tinley Park to suspend its license to operate its gaming machines in three businesses this weekend over payment of a push tax.
The company filed three complaints in Cook County Circuit Court in hopes the Tinley Park businesses can continue to operate their video gaming machines instead of serving a three-day suspension.
Two of the three judges sided with J&J’s in three separate virtual hearings Thursday and Friday regarding gaming terminals at Betty’s Bistro, Little Joe’s and Pad Thai restaurants in Tinley Park. Judges hearing the cases for Betty’s Bistro and Pad Thai said they would allow them to operate, citing potential loss of income and reputation damage.
Only the judge hearing a case for Little Joe’s, a pizza restaurant, denied the measure, and the machines there were shut down Friday afternoon, the owner said.
J&J’s complaint is over the village’s push tax, which was approved by the Village Board in June 2021 and went into effect April 30 of this year. The village’s ordinance imposes a 1-cent tax on players for every play of a video gaming terminal.
The terminal operators of the video gaming terminal are considered tax collectors for the village, according to the village’s ordinance. Village documents said the push tax payments accompanied by tax returns shall be remitted to the village on or before of the 20th of each month.
J&J attempted to put out receptacles to collect the push tax payments from the players of its video gaming machines as well as a sign that alerts players to the village’s 1-cent per play policy, which it says is a tax on the players. The signs say the tax is not collected from the money deposited into the gaming machines, but players should keep track of their plays and deposit the tax owed to the village in a receptacle marked Push Tax Deposit Box, according to the court complaints.
J&J’s operates 13 video gaming machines in the three Tinley Park businesses.
They collected and paid $4.05 for the push tax for the May 2022 tax period at both Little Joe’s and Pad Thai and paid it to the village in mid-June, according to their court documents, which assert the village issued violations at the establishments for failure to collect the push tax from each person playing video games in May.
J&J attempted to install a receptacle for collecting the push tax at Betty’s Bistro with signs, but was rejected by the business and no players paid for the push tax for May, according to court documents. They also received a violation letter from the village in July, court documents said.
At Zoom hearings Thursday and Friday, attorney Kim Walberg, who represents J&J, said the process of suspending the license punishes the state and the village from collecting gaming taxes, hurts the businesses’ livelihoods and causes damage to J&J’s reputation in the gaming industry.
Customers who want to enjoy gambling over the weekend would go somewhere else if the businesses had to shut down their machines, and employees, who work for hourly wages at these establishments, wouldn’t have an income, Walberg said. Having the machines shut down inflicts the greatest harm on the businesses, she said.
“This is taking much needed money out of their pockets when they can least afford it,” Walberg said, calling the punishment excessive.
Instead of shutting down gaming machines, they could have issued a fine, she said.
Jennifer Turiello, an attorney representing Tinley Park, said the village has a right to enforce its ordinances and said the businesses don’t have to close their doors because their gaming machines are temporarily shut down.
Tinley Park’s ordinance states the push tax provides revenue to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the village and its residents and provide adequate funds to offset the adverse effects of gambling within the village.
Judge Pamela Meyerson on Thursday approved J&J’s request to stay the suspension at Betty’s Bistro. Meyerson said the penalty was greater to J&J’s and Betty’s Bistro, and the village would have to wait at least three weeks to impose a penalty while the legal questions work through the court system.
Hearing the case regarding Pad Thai, Judge Caroline Moreland also granted a 21-day stay. Moreland also said putting off the suspension was necessary until a court can rule on the merits of the case. She cited the loss of income to the establishment and potential reputation damage and said there are conflicting rulings among the judges in these three incidents.
Daily Southtown
Judge Eve Reilly earlier Friday denied J&J’s motion to stay the suspension for Little Joe’s pizza restaurant, Turiello said.
Sue Vazquez, owner of Little Joe’s, said COVID-19 and inflation raising the cost of her purchases has hurt her business. Gaming machines help pay the rent, she said.
The push tax has been confusing, but she said she feels as if she has abided by all the rules.
“COVID has been hurtful for everyone,” Vazquez said. “We were closed, gaming was closed. We are all just trying to survive.”
Her customers want to enjoy a meal and gambling, and trying to collect a penny-per-play from customers isn’t right, Vazquez said.
“They want to have fun and escape their problems,” she said. “We shouldn’t have to come down on the customers.”

As we leave summer behind and plunge into fall, you can expect to notice the sun rising later and setting earlier.
These seasonal light changes have long been known to impact everything from eating patterns and sleep to hormonal and brain activity.
But, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, the colder months’ shorter days can also spur behavioral changes.
This finding was discovered after researchers used a mouse model to analyze a unique process in which neurons change the expression of neurotransmitters in response to the length of daylight. And these changes in expression ultimately led to disrupted behavior.
Much of the work focused on a region located within the hypothalamus– which is the part of the brain that produces hormones controlling hunger, mood, body temperature, heart rate, and more.
And within the hypothalamus is a small structure known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN is responsible for keeping time, if you will, and regulating humans’ circadian rhythm– in other words, the mental, physical, and behavioral changes that follow a twenty-four-hour cycle and impact nearly every bodily function.
And interestingly, the SCN operates using input from photosensitive cells located in the retina– which are able to communicate even the slightest changes in day length and light to the rest of our bodies.
So, the study described how about twenty thousand SCN neurons essentially coordinate with each other to keep up with and adapt to differing day lengths.
And in mice, the researchers specifically found that the neurons alter their expression of critical neurotransmitters, which ultimately results in changed brain activity and daily behaviors.

Dana Fry and her younger sister, Brittany Smith, started dancing when they were little girls in Berwyn.
“I was probably about five years old,” Dana said of her first memories of dance.
Wednesday they took ownership of the Dance Center of La Grange, the studio serving area children for the last quarter century and the place where they studied and danced for two decades.
The Dance Center will celebrate its 26th anniversary at the beginning of the year, and has a reputation for artistic development.
Indeed, the studio’s motto, showcased on its front window at 539 S. La Grange Rd., is “Where Dance is an Art … Not a Competition.”
The Dance Center offers classes for all ages, toddlers through adults, and stage some performances during the year and annual end-of-the-year June Recital. Areas of concentration are Ballet, Jazz, Jazz/Tap, and Jazz/Hip hop.
When the sisters moved with their family to La Grange, they didn’t miss a beat, studying and performing dance all the way through grade school and high school.
Graduates of Lyons Township High School, both sisters participated in the school’s Dance Company and performed on the Pom-Pom squad.
They then both attended Illinois State University, where Dana majored in Dance Education and Brittany in Dance Performance.
After college, they were able to continue in the field they loved, becoming dance teachers, primarily at the Dance Center, but also as coaches at LTHS.
Their situation, being teachers themselves at the Dance Center, made the move into taking over the studio when the founder and owner, Robin Hill, retired, a natural progression.
But neither had a long-standing dream of being entrepreneurs. Rather they described it as an organic process that came from following their passion.
“I was happy being a teacher,” Dana said. “I just wanted to teach.”
And her sister left no doubt that the field of dance was a calling she couldn’t resist, replying with a simple, “No,” when asked of there was any other career field she considered.
“For me, it was decided in high school,” Brittany said. “I was doing different things, some athletics and other activities, but about my sophomore year I knew. I love it.”
Dana also has three daughters, aged 9,8, and 4, who dance at their mom’s new business. She recognizes the challenges of being a small businessperson.
“I’m excited to take on the challenges of being a new studio owner,” she said. “I know it will be hard, but we’re ready to do what we have to do.”
Neither sister anticipates drastic changes at the Dance Center of La Grange, each one stressing that their goal is honoring the work already done by Robin Hill, the founder and retiring owner.
“We’re not trying to make any big changes,” Dana said. “We’ll keep it an art form.”
Brittany, with her son, six-month old Finley smiling on her hip, agreed.
“We want to keep the heart of what the Center has been for the last 26 years,” she said, noting that the Center’s motto is also their goal. “It’s what we go for, and we want to offer something different from other studios in the area.”
Or, as her sister said, they would “keep the tradition going.”
The retiring Hill is happy that the business is not going to strangers.
“I’m so happy for them, and that they’re continuing a tradition that has lasted for 26 years,” she said. “I had them when they were little girls. They’re totally ready for this challenge.
Hill is a native of Chicago’s South Side, living near Midway Airport until she went away to college at Illinois State University, where she, like Dana Fry majored in Dance Education.
“I made them go there,” she joked.
Hill also has a Masters in Counseling from Northeastern Illinois University and is an assistant professor at Illinois State.
Her immediate plans for retirement is to teach Pilates for three weeks in the Dominican Republic, “teaching on the beach,” as she put it, and then to travel with her family.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shortstop Wander Franco was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Tampa Bay Rays after missing two months with a right hamate bone injury that required surgery.
The 21-year-old was batting second in Friday night's series opener against the AL East-leading New York Yankees.
“We’re excited to get him back here. He’s such a big part of our club,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “He makes us better in the lineup. He makes us better defensively, and we’ll just see how it goes.”
Franco went on the IL July 10. An injury rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Durham in mid-August was cut short in its first game when the former top prospect experienced a sore hand. He resumed play with Durham last Sunday and went 6 for 11 in three games.
“I’d be shocked if he doesn’t feel it. He’s going to feel it,” Cash said. “I don’t think that’ll go away until maybe next spring training rolls around. It’s a surgery that removed a bone so it makes sense that he’s feeling it. Now it’s just how he can manage it and how we can help him manage it.”
Double-play partner Brandon Lowe was happy to have Franco back.
“Feels like as full of a team as we can have right now,” Lowe said.
Franco agreed in November to an $182 milion, 11-year contract after he finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting. He entered Friday batting .260 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 58 games.
Second-place Tampa Bay designated infielder Yu Chang for assignment and optioned right-hander Yonny Chirinos to Triple-A Durham. Chirinos will remain with the big league club as a member of the taxi squad.
“He has been everything that we could have asked for,” Cash said of Chang. “I feel like he’s made every play defensively. He’s come up with some big hits.”

(WJW) — Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96 on Thursday, is being remembered all across the United States. President Joe Biden has ordered all U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff in remembrance of the Queen.
Flags are to be flown at half-staff at the White House, all federal buildings, military posts, naval stations and naval vessels until sunset on the day of internment, the order states.
You may have noticed flags hanging lower in your own state, too. Several state governments have also ordered U.S. and state flags to be flown at half-staff on all public buildings and grounds.
In the video below, the Terminal Tower in Cleveland goes dark on Thursday night in honor of the late monarch.
The royal family posted a statement on their official site Thursday saying: “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.”
Her 73-year-old son Charles automatically becomes king, though the coronation might not take place for months.
In his Thursday proclamation, Pres. Biden wrote, in part:
“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era. In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her. Queen Elizabeth II led always with grace, an unwavering commitment to duty, and the incomparable power of her example.”
Pres. Joseph R. Biden
Biden thanked the queen, who marked 70 years on the throne in February, for helping perpetuate the “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Kansas is home to a number of horses, major horse events and other activities surrounding the animal. Many farms and ranches still use equines for daily tasks. Each year the economic impact of the equine industry continues to broaden.
The Kansas Department of Agriculture recently hosted its annual Kansas Governor’s Summit on Agricultural Growth and as part of the summit, virtual sessions were held prior to the event for beef, feed and forage, specialty crop, food processing, pork, and equine sectors.
During the equine session, Kansas Horse Council’s Justine Staten led a discussion with Kansas State University Foundation Senior Director of Development-Agriculture Kerry Wefald, K-State’s Department of Animal Sciences Head Michael Day and Justin Janssen, vice president of the Livestock and Meat Industry Council at K-State. The group discussed the proposed K-State Animal Sciences Gateway, which is expected to include an ag competition complex and improvements to the equine facilities at K-State.
Day said the possibility of these improvements at the university is one that really ties into both the equine program and animal sciences.
“It's a project where we sit down with a large group of stakeholders, university people and figured out conceptually what was needed,” he said. “What was needed to make the equine program excellent, what was needed to help make the animal sciences programs, K-State, etcetera, excellent.”
Development of the concepts began in recent years and has expanded to work with the K-State Foundation, architects, and many others. Day said the concept is one that will be 100% philanthropically funded, with the concept coming in two parts—a multi-species arena and a modernized horse unit.
“The function of these collectively together to support teaching, research, Extension, youth programs in equine and livestock sciences going across campus starting in animal sciences and then going across K-State,” Day said.
He hopes to have more interaction with the College of Veterinary Medicine at the current horse unit as well.
“So it would extend their teaching programs, and a recruitment showcase for K-State. This would be again at both the horse unit and at the arena site to recruit students as they come to Manhattan for various functions,” he said. “And then, of course, economic development.”
Day said if this comes to fruition, the facility could bring in livestock shows and equine shows that could help develop the animal sciences program even more.
One reason to keep the horse unit separate from the competition area is one of biosecurity. A band of broodmares is housed at the horse unit and many horses come in and out for breeding services.
“We're able to keep those animals in that location where we do a majority of our teaching,” he said.
The multi-species arena could be located in what Day described as the gateway area, closer to the K-State campus.
“It's a logical place to have that facility to help promote our programs,” he said.
When it comes to recruiting students to K-State, having the rodeo facilities, the Stanley Stout Center, the purebred beef center and other facilities close by, including another facility in the area makes sense.
“And this whole area is what we defined as the Animal Sciences Gateway,” he said. “It's a gateway to the north where all the rest of the facilities are—the dairy, the swine, the feed yards, all those other facilities. This is our gateway area for the campus, for the animals and the horse unit.”
Day hopes this will be a replacement for some of the facilities that have been around since the 1970s.
“It's ready for probably a little more than a face lift,” he said.
Day expects the new facilities to host a multitude of events—things like junior activities, livestock clinics, horse shows and judging events.
“We want potential students to come to campus and use that facility and recruit them as future students,” Day said.
Feasibility stage
Wefald joined the foundation in April and she said the College of Agriculture has several very exciting, innovative initiatives that are in the feasibility stage—two of which Day explained earlier.
“As we know cost of building and cost of development on projects is a large amount of money,” she said. “But innovation inspiration does come with a cost. So we look at these projects through two different phases.”
At the time of the session, Wefald said the multi-species competition facility master plan is expected to include: an estimated 138 foot by 258 foot indoor arena with a manager’s office, meeting rooms, a second floor area for VIP, an enclosed 80 foot by 80 foot staging area, and wash racks. Also in phase one is spectator parking spaces, trailer parking spaces, RV hookups and additional parking for the Stanley Stout Center. Wefald expects the elements to blend together to develop the gateway complex.
Also in the arena, ideas for a front entry lobby with concession and beverage areas are being considered, “because we think we might have, obviously, the public coming in to events as well,” Wefald said.
Restroom requirements will be built to city and building code as well as areas for security, first aid, ambulance parking for events that may need it, a manager’s office and storage. Plans call for 3,000 bleacher seats around the arena floor.
“Important thing to know is that there would be roping boxes at the south end of the arena, bucking chutes on the east side of the arena and then there would be ample area for stock circulation with an alleyway,” she said. “Also there is arena storage on the ground level, in the mezzanine area and the camera platform. As you can imagine, people may want to broadcast or have these online feature events or shows or different teaching and training activities that might take place in a facility like this.”
Modernizing the horse unit is a two-part plan, with the first phase being building out a headquarters building, a main stall barn, relocating and covering the horse walker, renovating the existing mare motel into a stallion barn, turnouts, shelters, and road improvements.
“On the headquarters scope, and I know many of you have probably been to or utilized services or teaching expertise of this facility, but the headquarters would include a fully conditioned classroom with viewing windows into the stallion area,” she said.
Also in the headquarters would be restrooms, a lab room with direct access from the classroom and stallion area, a student office, a student gathering area, utility and storage room and an office area for the unit manager.
During the second phase she expects the main stall barn to include wash and saddling bays, a tackroom, ten stalls with swinging partitions, and equipment storage. This will also include an additional 10 stalls with feeders and waterers, a covered wash rack and tack areas with cross ties.
“(It’s an) exciting opportunity to think through what can be when we look at the arena,” Wefald said.
As for the cost of the horse unit upgrades in phase one, Wefald said she was going to be transparent as she could, and noted the plans were going through the feasibility phase with the K-State Foundation.
“The goal is to privately fund these different projects,” she said. “So what does that mean? Feasibility stage? It means we're out starting to talk to folks and share this concept and idea of what the committee has been planning and what the ultimate desire would be to upgrade these facilities and also get feedback from those who may be willing to invest or support on different aspects or the projects in totality.”
Wefald expects the K-State Foundation Development Committee to vote during the summer months to move the project into full fundraising mode, going in front of the Board of Regents “most likely in the month of September.”
“The next few months are very exciting in terms of moving a project from feasibility into practical fundraising mode,” she said. “Every day the cost of building goes up so we hustle a little faster to have more and more conversation.”

When it comes to her son's name, leave it to Kylie Jenner to keep it kryptic.
During an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden on Thursday, the reality star cleared up a few things about where she and Travis Scott stand on naming their 7-month-old baby boy. Back in March -- a month after revealing their second child was named Wolf -- Kylie told fans the parents "didn't feel like it was him." Well, more than half a year after his birth, the mom of two confirmed his name legally remains Wolf -- even on his passport.
"We haven’t officially, legally changed the name," she said. But the name Wolf is not staying. Kylie reiterated, "That isn’t gonna be his name." So, what is his name?
"We don’t call him Wolf," she added. "We’re just not ready to share yet."
And apparently Travis is still trying out other name options. "One day," Kylie said, "he'll be like, 'Ooh, this name's kind of cool' and change it again."
Options aside, the makeup mogul confirmed they have honed in on one name... and it's not an animal. As Corden quipped, "There's a huge exclusive."
As she told ET in April, "We have some strong options, but we haven’t officially changed it. Before I officially changed it, I want to make sure."

Toy Story Is Coming Soon to Disney Dreamlight Valley Late Fall 2022
Toy Story Is Coming Soon to Disney Dreamlight Valley
Disney Dreamlight Valley is an ever-expanding life-sim adventure game featuring many magical Disney characters, with many more coming to the game in the months following its release earlier this week. Thanks to the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase, we now have it confirmed that Toy Story characters will be the next ones coming to the game, which will be sometime in Late Fall 2022.
If you’re worried about saving your money, don’t worry, the update to Disney Dreamlight Valley should be free, given what the developers have said in the past regarding updates to the game. This update will include both Woody and Buzz, new missions, along with a Toy Story Realm. Of course, new customization options will also be included in the free update.
If you’re interested in checking out the full reveal trailer, here is the post made by the official Disney Dreamlight Valley YouTube account.
Interestingly enough, the trailer does also show Scar from The Lion King, who is currently not located inside the Valley. Given what has been announced on Disney Dreamlight Valley’s official website, though, it does seem that The Lion King will be next after Toy Story, so Scar’s inclusion in the trailer does make sense as a tease for what’s to come.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is currently available for early access on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. You can check out this link if you’re interested in hearing our thoughts on the game. Twinfinite is also the home to numerous guides on Disney Dreamlight Valley, some of which can be found down below.

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Rams' honeymoon from their Super Bowl championship didn't even last until the first Sunday of the next regular season.
Their 31-10 thrashing from the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night was a brutal reminder that last season's title — and even the last half-decade of success under Sean McVay — guarantees the Rams nothing in a new year.
“Did that bother me? Of course,” McVay said Friday. “You wake up with a pit in your stomach, and the only way I know how to get rid of that thing is to go back to work, and work hard for these players and coaches.”
While Los Angeles still possesses elite talent, it couldn't keep up with Buffalo, widely considered to be a top contender for the crown. The Rams' best opponents will all be hungry for what the champs have, and perhaps even hungrier.
“That's an easy excuse to make, but I wouldn't say that," McVay said. “Our guys were ready to go. I just think there were a lot of instances where we didn't execute to our full capacity.”
Motivation and hunger aside, the opener also revealed the Rams have plenty of problems to solve if they hope to be considered among the NFL's elite again this season. McVay attempted to blame himself, as usual, but almost every aspect of his team showed vast room for improvement.
This loss even threw open the possibility that the Rams don't even have the personnel to be among the NFL's best teams. Los Angeles general manager Les Snead has been able to build a competent roster core below his superstars during several years spent largely without high draft picks, but those big loans against the future could be coming due.
The Rams’ offensive line frequently looked overmatched against Buffalo’s defensive front while Matthew Stafford struggled to get the ball to Los Angeles’ array of playmakers, with only Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp making a difference. The Rams got even worse news about that line Friday with injuries to center Brian Allen and left tackle Joseph Noteboom.
Allen will be out for at least two weeks after undergoing a “procedure to remove loose bodies from his knee" on Friday, while Noteboom strained his knee ligaments, McVay said. Noteboom isn't expected to miss Week 2.
The defense forced three turnovers, but couldn't force a punt and otherwise failed to stop Josh Allen, although that's hardly a unique predicament. More dismaying was the lack of pressure on Allen from a defensive front that lost Von Miller to the Bills, along with an apparently cautious secondary that didn't make enough big plays.
The Rams have a ton of work to do — and it's fortunate that after a loss on opening night, they've got plenty of time to do it.
WHAT’S WORKING
Kupp followed one of the greatest seasons by a receiver in NFL history with 13 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown. The AP's Offensive Player of the Year remains uncoverable by most defenses, and Stafford's connection with him remains strong.
WHAT NEEDS HELP
Plenty, but the Rams' offensive line was the most obvious. Along with Stafford's seven sacks and 15 hits from a defense that didn't even need to blitz once, Los Angeles rushed for only 52 net yards and was particularly ineffective running up the middle, McVay's most frequent route. The Rams lost two Super Bowl starters on the line and replaced them from within, but the new group looked overmatched.
STOCK UP
Troy Hill marked his return to Los Angeles after a year in Cleveland with a team-high eight tackles and his first interception since 2020. He wasn't perfect, but he made more plays than any other defender.
STOCK DOWN
All-Pro Jalen Ramsey allowed six of the seven passes thrown his way to be caught, including the 53-yard TD pass to Stefon Diggs to seal it. Plenty of factors contribute to such a number, but the Rams need Ramsey to be great after their talent appeared to decrease in the secondary for the second consecutive offseason.
INJURIES
Right guard Coleman Shelton will move to center in Allen's absence, and Tremayne Anchrum will step in at right guard, McVay said. The Rams don't expect Noteboom to miss playing time, but A.J. Jackson will play left tackle if he does. ... Rookie RB Kyren Williams will have surgery on a high ankle sprain after getting hurt early in his NFL debut. He will be out six to eight weeks. ... Long snapper Matt Orzech strained his calf.
KEY NUMBER
0: Rushing yards by Cam Akers, the Super Bowl starter and the running back with the most explosive capabilities. The Rams say he isn't hurt, but Akers played only 12 snaps and got three carries to Darrell Henderson's 55 snaps and 13 carries. McVay also said Friday that the Rams wanted to get Williams involved on offense before the injury ruined the plan.
NEXT STEPS
McVay and his staff have an extra-long week to address the flaws exposed by Buffalo, and McVay's competitive fire is decidedly stoked. The Rams host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and McVay said the opener can be nothing more than “a little blip on the radar” if Los Angeles responds properly.

This summer’s drought is expected to cause a patchy array of fall color starting earlier in the leaf-peeping haven of New England while the autumn colors are likely to be muted and not last as long in the drought- and heat-stricken areas of the south.
In New England, experts anticipate the season, which typically peaks in October, to be more spread out with some trees changing earlier or even browning and dropping leaves because of the drought. Other places, like Texas, could see colors emerging later in the fall due to warm temperatures.
“We will still have brilliant colors in New England because of the fact that we have so many different kinds of trees and they’re growing on kind of ridges, and kind of slopes and wetlands,” said Richard Primack, a professor of plant ecology at Boston University. “You know we will have good color but the color will probably be more spotty than usual.”
Leaf peeping is big business in places like New England, where millions of visitors from around the country and world bring in billions of dollars.
Everyone from inns to diners often count on this business to get them through the rest of the year. But predicting when those colors will peak is not an exact science; requiring experts to consider everything from temperature, the length of the day and stresses like pests and drought.
In Vermont, the 18-room Mad River Barn, an inn in Fayston, typically sells out for about three weeks in a row starting in late September, said inn manager Jess Kotch. But those leaf-peepers don’t make reservations far in advance.
“Typically we get so many inquiries for last-minute stays through that period that I don’t even really start thinking about it until this week and next week,” she said.
This year, drought is one of the big concerns in many parts of the country.
Severe and even extreme drought set in this summer in southern New England and remains in some areas, while up north parts of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are in a moderate drought or are abnormally dry. In those northern New England states, the color will depend on the health of the individual trees and is expected to be good to variable.
“Where you have those real dry sandy soils or you know, trees that have had health issues accumulating over time you may see some effect on fall foliage on those trees,” Wendy Scribner, a forestry field specialist with the University of New Hampshire extension service, said. “But I think we just have so many of them that we still will see some coloration.”
In Oklahoma, where much of the state is in severe or extreme drought, the trees are expected to change earlier than usual and it will be quicker. Some oak trees started browning and dropping leaves this summer, said Alex Schwartz, district silviculturist for the Oklahoma Ranger Districts of the Ouachita National Forest.
“When the trees experience moderate to severe drought stress like we’ve had, what they’re going to do is they’re going to probably stop that production — what little they’ve had over the summer —- stop that production a lot quicker, and they’re not going to produce a lot of those other pigments like the carotenoids that bring out those other fall colors,” he said.
The same thing is happening on some ridgetops in Connecticut where oak trees in thin dry soils are browning and dropping leaves early, meaning they’re shutting down. And many southern New England beech trees, whose leaves typically turn yellow and orange in the fall, have been hit by beech leaf disease, causing them to drop their leaves, said Robert Marra, a forest pathologist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.
“It’s going to have a very serious impact on fall colors in the sense that most of the beeches, many of them throughout southern New England, were hit so badly by beech leaf disease this year that they’re just dropping, they don’t have leaves on them to change color,” he said.
In Texas, the colors are likely to be muted and warm temperatures could push back the change, said Mac Martin, partnership coordinator for Texas A&M Forest Service.
“We’re going to probably get a shorter window of the fall colors that we get here in general as well as probably less kind of brilliant colors,” he said.
Visitors to the White Mountain Hotel and Resort in North Conway, New Hampshire, are not holding off in making reservations, said Carol Sullivan, director of sales and marketing.
“The last two years for us have been very strong, and that is the same prediction for us this year, that we will have an equally strong, if not even stronger, fall foliage season, regardless of what the weather does,” she said.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union nations struggled to find full consensus Friday on ways to shield the population from dramatically increasing energy prices that threaten to plunge millions into cold and poverty over the winter as Russia chokes off natural gas supplies.
As tensions with Moscow mount over the war in Ukraine, the energy ministers of the EU’s 27 nations could not paper over differences on whether and how to impose a price cap on Russian natural gas, with ever-recalcitrant Hungary refusing to agree, saying it would go against its supply interests.
Other countries differed on whether a price cap should apply only to Russia or to other producers, too.
That “shows that this is a difficult issue and that the (European) Commission had a different goal,” said Agata Loskot-Strachota, senior fellow for energy policy at the Center for Eastern Studies in Warsaw. While EU members are most interested in lowering prices and getting enough gas, “the commission aimed at limiting Russia’s revenues and, I think, taking back control of the situation on the European gas market.”
An immediate solution on all proposals to bring natural gas and electricity prices back to affordability had not been anticipated, but energy ministers gave general recommendations to the European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, on options like instituting windfall levies on some energy companies whose profits have risen along with skyrocketing prices.
Moscow’s gas restrictions and threat of a full cutoff has dominated the political agenda of a rich bloc of nations struggling to ensure basic services like heat and light. Russia has cut back supplies of natural gas that power factories, generate electricity and heat homes, driving up prices and fueling inflation that is poised to tip Europe into recession later this year.
“Russia has used its gas supplies as a weapon to foster an energy crisis next winter but also to weaken our economies and divide — politically — the European Union,” EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said. “We have to ensure that their efforts will fail.”
Czech Industry Minister Jozef Sikela, chair of the emergency meeting, exhorted his colleagues: “We cannot be blackmailed.”
Sikela and others said that outside the gas cap, a wide degree of convergence was found other potential measures. Besides windfall levies, they include solidarity contributions from fossil fuel producers and cash increases for businesses to keep operating as they struggle with volatile energy markets.
Irish Minister Eamon Ryan insisted that action must be taken “within weeks, not months.” This coming fall, “when we’re really going to see the high prices having effect, that’s when we need the support, that’s when we need to get some of that money,” he told reporters in Brussels.
“There is no time to wait, and we have to be swift and united,” Sikela said.
Despite the urgency, with several northern nations feeling the first chill in the morning air announcing the onset of autumn, the ministers gave only guidelines to the EU commission, which will present a proposal for the member states next week.
At that point, the EU nations will reassess again, and the hope is that a decision can be made by the end of this month.
German Economy and Energy Minister Robert Habeck said the commission has “a clear mandate to work out a viable proposal — or even better, viable proposals” to bring down prices. Friday’s meeting reflected different situations among EU members, but “everyone was determined to bring about relief for European citizens, so no agreement is not an option,” Habeck said.
While hoping for quick progress, Germany is keeping open the option of imposing a levy on high energy profits whose proceeds would be passed to consumers “if it takes too long,” he said.
“We can’t take this card off the table because the other, better way — namely bringing down prices — could certainly be complicated,” Habeck said. “We’re doing something that affects the heart of European energy supply — we’re intervening in the markets.”
The energy crisis is not only threatening households but also industry, with energy-intensive factories being forced to close. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia is “blackmailing” the EU with its threat to turn off the gas to the bloc. Moscow has already cut supplies partially or entirely to 13 EU countries, blaming alleged technical issues and sanctions.
Russian pipeline gas accounted for 40% of all gas Europe imported before President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in February, but now it only accounts for 9%.
The commission believes the EU is prepared for the winter, with joint gas storage levels at 82% — well ahead of the 80% target that had been set for the end of October.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shortstop Wander Franco was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Tampa Bay Rays after missing two months with a right hamate bone injury that required surgery.
The 21-year-old was batting second in Friday night’s series opener against the AL East-leading New York Yankees.
“We’re excited to get him back here. He’s such a big part of our club,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “He makes us better in the lineup. He makes us better defensively, and we’ll just see how it goes.”
Franco went on the IL July 10. An injury rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Durham in mid-August was cut short in its first game when the former top prospect experienced a sore hand. He resumed play with Durham last Sunday and went 6 for 11 in three games.
“I’d be shocked if he doesn’t feel it. He’s going to feel it,” Cash said. “I don’t think that’ll go away until maybe next spring training rolls around. It’s a surgery that removed a bone so it makes sense that he’s feeling it. Now it’s just how he can manage it and how we can help him manage it.”
Double-play partner Brandon Lowe was happy to have Franco back.
“Feels like as full of a team as we can have right now,” Lowe said.
Franco agreed in November to an $182 milion, 11-year contract after he finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting. He entered Friday batting .260 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 58 games.
Second-place Tampa Bay designated infielder Yu Chang for assignment and optioned right-hander Yonny Chirinos to Triple-A Durham. Chirinos will remain with the big league club as a member of the taxi squad.
“He has been everything that we could have asked for,” Cash said of Chang. “I feel like he’s made every play defensively. He’s come up with some big hits.”

Welcome to our daily rumours article brought to you by Betway Sports
Craig Smith and Mike Reilly could eventually become cap casualties for the Bruins
Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now: The Boston Bruins will need to move salary when players are ready to come off the LTIR. The Bruins had some trade talk in the offseason involving forward Craig Smith, but with Brad Marchand out until late November, they may need Smith to play in their top-six.
Smith, along with defenseman Mike Smith could be moved in-season when the Bruins need to clear cap space.
From a source in mid-August on Smith.
“I can confirm an actual trade offer was made but after trying to find common ground for awhile, the talks were put on hold. ,” an NHL executive source told Boston Hockey Now on August 16. “This team really wanted Smith and wanted this to happen.”
There are nine restricted free agents still looking for new deals
Chris Johnston of Northstar Bets: Looking at the top remaining restricted free agents.
Jason Robertson – Dallas Stars – A bridge deal could be more than Elias Pettersson‘s three years at $7.35 million. A six-year deal could be between Mikko Rantanen ($9.25 million) and Mitch Marner ($10.9 million)
Alex Formenton – Ottawa Senators – Could look at a short-term deal.
Rasmus Sandin – Toronto Maple Leafs – Fourth on the depth chart on the left side.
Sean Durzi – Los Angeles Kings – A short-term deal makes the most sense for both sides after his first 64 games in the NHL this past season.
Mikey Anderson – Los Angeles Kings – The Kings have about $4 million in cap space for both Anderson and Durzi.
Nicolas Hague – Vegas Golden Knights. May wait for other RFA defensemen to use as comparables.
Ryan McLeod – Edmonton Oilers – Should get between $834,167 and $975,000. The Oilers don’t have much cap space.
Barrett Hayton – Arizona Coyotes – They have plenty of space.
Adam Ruzicka – Calgary Flames – A tweener still trying to establish himself.

Feeling ready yet for sweater weather? Whether you prep for fall with cozy knitwear, a brand-new ginger dye job, or an apple-picking trip (or all three!), autumn is coming—and with it comes a glorious and glowing full harvest moon.
On Saturday, September 10, at 5:59 a.m. (ET), the full moon will be in Pisces. Like the strawberry supermoon in August, the title of harvest moon is not an astrological term. This particular lunar event is so nicknamed for its closeness to the autumn equinox, which is typically around September 22 or 23, explains the long-trusted Farmer's Almanac. It goes on to note that the moonrise comes shortly after the sunsets for multiple nights in a row, thereby resulting in “an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which was a traditional aide to farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops.”
This moon moniker has been used across many cultures around the world, with timeanddate.com stating that “harvest month was recorded as early as in the 700s in both Anglo-Saxon and Old High German languages.” For me, the name is a lovely reminder that before electricity, a full moon was the most light humans could possibly get at night. And with that, let's dive into how this full moon will impact us.
September 2022’s Pisces Full Moon
Since prehistoric humans had no other light at night except the moon, I can certainly imagine how once a month, at a full moon (and a few days before and after) early people took advantage of this big bright light in the sky to create new things, tell stories, and share ideas. (For more on this area of study, I definitely recommend reading Blood, Bread, and Roses: How Menstruation Created the World.) The significance of a full moon is deep in our ancestral DNA and collective memory. What do you see when you stare at a full moon? At times, I feel transfixed by it, as though at any moment it could pull me into the sky.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is therefore said to hold the lessons of all the other signs inside of it. (No wonder Pisces can be easily overwhelmed!) A Pisces feels psychically connected to everyone and everything, and so a full moon in Pisces can be a super-sensitive, emotional time—and a time to listen to your intuition. Remember: The full moon illuminates. What is being illuminated for you right now? Where is your soul? What are you dreaming about? Set aside time this week to reflect on where you're at right now and where you want to be. Try writing down your dreams as soon as you wake up for the next few days; you may be surprised at the themes or patterns you discover. (This is also a frequently recommended lucid dreaming technique, so if you have ever felt interested in trying to control the stories of your subconscious, maybe this is the perfect time to delve into it.)
The Contrasting Effects of Venus and Neptune
This harvest moon is 17 degrees and 41 minutes of Pisces with Neptune a few seats over at 24 degrees. Across from them rests the other (far larger) luminary, the sun, at the same degrees in Virgo. Then we have Venus—not quite conjunct but certainly part of the story. As in classical astrology, Venus is considered “under the sun’s beams.” Right now it is waning; come October, though, it will conjoin with the sun in Libra for very special conjunction that has not happened for 150 years, according to Arielle Guttman, the originator and discoverer of the now famous Venus Star Point. (I would elaborate further, but to be honest, Guttman's extensive research and writing offers such a comprehensive look at this astrological event that condensing it may do the subject a disservice, so I instead urge you to visit her website to learn more.)

LivingTree Botanicals Intersects QR Codes With CBD Line To Ensure Product Authenticity Through Verifiable Tech
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2022 / LivingTree Botanicals, a lifestyle brand based out of Atlanta, GA, has redefined the essence of self-care by supplying a suite of CBD products that stand high above the rest. Officially launched in 2020, the brand has recently developed a robust platform for community engagement and education as a resource for both experienced and curious consumers alike, effectively staking their claim as the premiere destination for honest, clean, transparent CBD made available. With their dynamic QR code technology, consumers are given an inside look at their favorite products, setting LivingTree Botanicals at a standard we haven't seen in decades.
LivingTree Botanicals has enjoyed steady growth since their inception. The company deals in 100% FDA-compliant CBD that is naturally derived from the hemp plant and is extensively tested for quality, consistency, and clarity in its anatomy. CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, is praised by consumers for its support with their pain, anxiety, and sleep struggles. Of course, CBD is nothing new in the mainstream and has experienced explosive success in recent decades. Many CBD companies and brands have taken advantage of the ill-informed consumer by pushing products that often miss the target goal entirely, positioning the market as deceptive by nature and full of unanswered questions. On the other side of the garden, LivingTree Botanicals has poured their passion into correcting misinterpreted narratives surrounding CBD and providing a collection of products that not only perform as they are intended, but create opportunities that consumers can feel confident about. This is, perhaps, the company's most important role in ushering a renaissance in CBD consumption, that by supplying an elevated product that is clear and concise by nature, consumers are given a trusted choice when selecting their CBD.
LivingTree Botanicals currently offers a baseline selection of CBD items including oils, gummies, and topical creams. Additionally, pet-friendly treats are available, with eyes set on product expansion down the road. Keeping in line with the company's dedication to quality, all of Living Tree Botanicals' product listings are accompanied by a Certificate Of Analysis from FDA Approved third party labs. Going the extra mile for consumer's trust is part of what separates Living Tree Botanicals from its competitors, ensuring that all CBD crosses a threshold of authenticity.
Each individual product is labeled with all necessary information including a QR code that takes readers to lab reports as a resource for verification. At its core, Living Tree Botanicals promotes a lifestyle that demands excellence, building a community of health and wellness leaders who want a higher standard of living. With LivingTree Botanicals in tow, our busy schedules are made that much easier when we can lead with confidence in our decisions, knowing that we've made a smart move on an even smarter product choice for healthier, happier adventures.
For those wondering where to start, LivingTree Botanicals suggests trying out their CBD gummies, available in 20 and 30 counts. At 25mg each, they are a perfect starting dose for beginners. With the goal of relieving pain, tension, and anxiety, LivingTree offers natural and mint flavored oils (also called tinctures), and a variety of fruit flavored gummies. LivingTree's CBD oils are available in 500 or 1000-mg bottles, and the droppers are great to take by themselves or mix into tea, smoothies, or your favorite meal. Many people prefer oil tinctures because they tend to absorb more quickly than gummies depending on one's metabolism. Accessibility is key with Living Tree, ensuring you have safe, FDA-Compliant, fully-tested CBD.
About:
LivingTree Botanicals is an Atlanta-based purveyor of CBD products that support elevated wellness and a higher sense of purpose in our health journeys. Officially launched in 2020, the company prioritizes clean, transparent, and trustworthy products that supply pure CBD extract naturally derived from the hemp plant. With a suite of products that include oils, gummies, and topical creams, LivingTree Botanicals is 100% FDA-compliant and honest by nature.

MUSCATINE, Iowa — For the first time in almost four decades, Muscatine Power and Water added a new transmission line to its system.
The $15.5 million project is meant to bring a consistent energy supply to Muscatine; an area that currently has two power transmission lines running north and south next to each other
"If we lose that line to the south, like with a tornado, it's likely we could lose both of those lines at the same time," said Ryan Streck, Director of Utility Service Delivery. "So this one not only allows us to bring more power in, but we have a separate path; it actually comes from the Quad Cities. So that way, if something would happen down south, our coal generation's offline, we can still bring all the power and we need through this new transmission line."
The new transmission line will also support a brand new multimillion-dollar solar power project.
"This line is actually part of a bigger power in the future strategy for MPW," said MPW General Manager Gage Guston. "Another big piece of that is a large solar garden project that we're working on in the south part of Muscatine. It's going to be about a 24-megawatt solar project that would go on about 250 acres of land. One of the great things about that is we're going to be using our existing wellfield property. So we're not taking good high-quality farming land out of the system to put that project in, and that will allow us to significantly increase our renewable production and reduce our environmental impact."
The solar garden project is expected to complete in 2025.

PHOENIX (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked enforcement of a new Arizona law restricting how the public and journalists can film police, agreeing with the American Civil Liberties Union and multiple media organizations who argued it violated the First Amendment.
U.S. District Judge John J. Tuchi issued a preliminary injunction that stops the law from being enforced when it is set to take effect on Sept. 24. The quick decision came after Republican Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and the prosecutor and sheriff’s office in Maricopa County told the judge they did not plan to defend the law. They were named as defendants in the lawsuit filed last month.
The law was enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature over unified opposition from Democrats and signed by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey on July 6.
It makes it illegal to knowingly film police officers 8 feet (2.5 meters) or closer if the officer tells the person to stop. And on private property, an officer who decides someone is interfering or the area is unsafe can order the person to stop filming even if the recording is being made with the owner’s permission.
The penalty is a misdemeanor that would likely incur a fine without jail time.
KM Bell, an ACLU attorney who lobbied against the bill at the Legislature and was in court Friday, said they were pleased the judge acted quickly.
“We are extremely gratified that Arizonans will not have their constitutional rights infringed and their ability to record the police criminalized by this law,” Bell said.
Bystander cellphone videos are largely credited with revealing police misconduct — such as with the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis officers — and reshaping the conversation around police transparency. But Republican Arizona lawmakers say the legislation was needed to limit people with cameras who deliberately impede officers.
Tuchi gave the Legislature a week to decide whether it wants to defend the law. The ACLU and media groups are seeking a permanent injunction.
Republican Rep. John Kavanagh, a retired police officer who sponsored the law, said he was “taken by surprise” when Brnovich did not move to defend the law.
“I was assuming that the attorney general would do his job as the state’s attorney and defend a law passed by the state,” Kavanagh said. “We are trying to get together with the (House) speaker and the (Senate) president and see if the Legislature will defend it, but there’s also the possibility of some outside group possibly stepping up.”
Brnovich’s office is charged with defending state laws. But in this case, his spokesperson, Katie Conner, said that because the attorney general does not have enforcement authority in these types of cases, they were the wrong party to sue.
Matt Kelley, an attorney who represented the news organizations that sued, argued in his court papers that Brnovich is not correct. He noted that by law the attorney general can step in and enforce laws that county prosecutors normally would.
Kavanagh argued that allowing people to record police up close while they are doing enforcement, like making arrests or dealing with a disturbed person, could put officers in danger, and noted that he made several changes to address the concerns of the ACLU. Those include changing the restriction from 16 feet (4.8 meters) to 8 feet.
“So I think this is unbelievably reasonable,” he said. “And if what’s causing the problem is my limiting it to just these law enforcement characters in all encounters, how ironic that trying to limit the scope of government reach is unconstitutional. But I guess that’s the world we live in.”
Kelley said that the law was very problematic. He praised Tuchi for quickly agreeing that the law did not meet the requirements needed to restrict First Amendment protections for filming law enforcement activities.
“There wasn’t anything in the law that said the person recording has to be interfering with law enforcement or harassing officers or otherwise doing something that would create a danger or a distraction,” Kelley said. “All it prohibited was simply standing there, making a video recording. And since that’s activity that’s protected by the First Amendment, this law was on its face unconstitutional.”
The original legislation was amended so it applies only to certain types of police actions, including questioning of suspects and encounters involving mental or behavioral health issues. It exempts people who are subject to the police interaction, or in a stopped car.
In similar cases, six of the nation’s dozen U.S. appeals courts have ruled on the side of allowing people to record police without restriction. Soon after the Arizona law was signed, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled that a YouTube journalist and blogger’s lawsuit against a suburban Denver police department could move forward. The blogger said an officer blocked him from recording a 2019 traffic stop.
The Phoenix Police Department, which oversees the nation’s fifth-largest city, has been criticized in recent years for its use of force, which disproportionately affects Black and Native American residents.
Reporters and photographers said this law will make it nearly impossible to do their job, especially at massive events like protests. The outlets that sued include Phoenix Newspapers Inc., parent of The Arizona Republic; Gray Television; Scripps Media; KPNX-TV; Fox Television Stations; NBCUniversal Media; the Arizona Broadcasters Association; States Newsroom; Arizona Newspapers Association; and the National Press Photographers Association.
The Associated Press filed a friend of the court brief urging Tuchi to block the law from being enforced. The AP’s attorneys said that photographers especially could be caught up while covering rallies, where it could limit their ability to capture the full interactions between police and protesters.

So, Queen Elizabeth II is dead, and Black Twitter is tossing weeds on her grave instead of flowers.
And of course, a lot of white people are stunned, bewildered, flabbergasted and greatly aggrieved by the fact that Black people don’t respect colonizers and figureheads of white supremacist regimes—even in death.
I mean, we all saw what happened when Uju Anya, a Nigeria-born professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s college of humanities and social sciences, tweeted that she wished an “excruciating” death on the queen and Jeff Bezos couldn’t mind his rich white American business and accept the fact that an educator from the continent knew more about the effect of British rule on other nations than he did.
And see, that’s always the disconnect between people who see the Western world for what it is and white people who walk around wondering what everyone else is so angry about—until white people are angry about things, in which case it’s justified because attempts to combat their privilege looks like full-fledged oppression in their eyes.
But the truth is, it’s not that hard to understand why Elizabeth’s grave is being electric slid across by people who only recognize queens named Latifah, Aretha, Lil’ Kim and Beyoncé.
From Newsweek:
The Queen ascended to the throne at a time of change for the British Empire and the subsequent forming of the Commonwealth of Nations. Many people from former colonies consider her a figurehead for the brutality their people suffered under British imperialism.
The British Empire at the height of its power was described as “the empire on which the sun never set” and commanded 23 percent of the world’s population in 1913. It controlled countries across every continent and today 14 overseas territories remain under British sovereignty.
In America, Black people know all too well the lengths white people—particularly white conservatives—go to in order to protect their version of the nation’s image and legacy, even if it means banning unfiltered Black history into colonizer oblivion and justifying it by blindly labeling everything that makes them uncomfortable as critical race theory, which they’ve thoroughly demonized without demonstrating that they have a clue what it actually is. So, they get to try their damnedest to keep their rose-colored glasses pinched to their noses and we get to disrupt their ignorant bliss by filling their social media and news feeds with our protests, pro-Blackness and social media posts about systemic racism and white nationalism.
That’s basically what’s going on with the non-colonizer-friendly response to the queen’s death, only it’s on a global level.
And, of course, we got jokes.
Besides, it isn’t just Black Twitter. Have y’all even seen Irish Twitter?
Some people might argue that folks could at least let the ink dry on the queen’s death certificate before we start flooding the woke-ernet with mini-dissertations about European colonization and the way it has gotten good and fat by feeding on the world around it. But if not now, then when? It’s not like we don’t talk about these things at times when a monarch hasn’t died. But the queen’s death made it a trending topic and thus impossible for the white world at large to ignore.

Letter: The beginnings of student loan debt problem go back decades
In the Sunday SJR (Sept. 4), Chris Knoepfle asks the question why student loans aren’t dischargeable under bankruptcy laws. The answer is easy if you follow the logic.
In prior decades college students would borrow from local banks and credit unions to go to school. My wife took out a state loan to get her education degree based on the premise half of it would be forgiven if she taught school in Illinois. Loans were also available for nurses and doctors and a portion would be forgiven if they agreed to work in state facilities.
Unfortunately, a small number of students after receiving their degree immediately filed for bankruptcy leaving the loan holder holding the bag. Since the do nothing legislatures and Congress would do nothing about this massive irresponsibility, the banks wrote into the loan contracts saying educational loans could not be discharged under bankruptcy law.
During the 2008 financial meltdown where Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in danger of going insolvent, the federal government assumed responsibility for education loans and kept the nondischargeable provisions.
It will be interesting to see what happens now Biden has made good on the Bernie Sanders campaign promise of free college education for all through the back door of loan forgiveness. Watch as college tuition explodes as universities jump on the gravy train knowing taxpayers will be held to account for student financial chicanery.

COVID case numbers in region hold steady
By Peter Loewi
COVID-19 boosters targeting the Omicron subvariant BA.4/5 have been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration and are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“The updated COVID-19 boosters are formulated to better protect against the most recently circulating COVID-19 variant. They can help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination and were designed to provide broader protection against newer variants. This recommendation followed a comprehensive scientific evaluation and robust scientific discussion. If you are eligible, there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster and I strongly encourage you to receive it,” said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky in a press release last Thursday, September 1.
The “bivalent” vaccines target both the original wildtype of the virus as well as the Omicron subvariant called BA.4/5, which is currently circulating. With this update to the emergency use authorizations, the original mRNA vaccines targeting only the wildtype are no longer authorized for use as boosters in individuals over the age of 12.
Boosters are only for people who are more than two months past their last COVID vaccine, and some experts are reportedly suggesting waiting as long as four months if you aren’t at risk of severe disease. For those who have recently had COVID, the recommendation is to wait three months after infection before getting boosted. Anyone over the age of 18 is eligible for the Moderna vaccine, and anyone over 12 is eligible for the Pfizer BioNTech shot.
The bivalent boosters targeting BA.4/5 have not been tested on humans, but a bivalent booster targeting an earlier Omicron subvariant, BA.1, was tested, and original vaccine was given over 600 million times, for “an extraordinary record,” Walensky said in an interview with National Public Radio. “There are very subtle differences, but we have no reason to expect that this is going to have any different safety signal than either the 600 million doses we previously have given or these other bivalent boosts against Omicron,” she continued.
Boosters offer a bump to immunity which has waned over time, and the vaccines offer robust protection against severe disease and death. The significance of this is particularly striking following another recent CDC report which shows that life expectancy in the United States has dropped for the second year in a row. “Excess deaths due to COVID-19 and other causes in 2020 and 2021 led to an overall decline in life expectancy between 2019 and 2021,” says the report. The biggest drop in life expectancy in those years was in American Indian and Alaska Native populations, from 71.8 years in 2019 to 65.2 in 2021, a shocking 6.6 years. Life expectancy at birth in Asians is longest and dropped the least from 85.6 to 83.5, a decline of 2.1 years. COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death in the country in both 2020 and 2021. Heart disease was number one and cancer was number two.
Cases in Alaska dropped over the previous week thanks to a big drop in resident cases. Non-resident cases remain high, driven by tourists on cruise ships. Cases at sea among those with purpose of tourism made up close to 25 percent of all cases identified in the state last week.
While cases in the Nome Census Area are still in the “high” community level, Alaska no longer leads the country in current cases, the first time in months.
The week in numbers
On Tuesday, August 30, Norton Sound Health Corporation identified six new cases of COVID-19 in the region. Two cases were found in Nome, two cases were found in Teller, one case in Elim and one case was found in Savoonga. The number of active cases in the region sat at 31: Seven in Nome, six in Unalakleet, five in Savoonga, five in White Mountain, three in Elim, three in Teller, one in Brevig and one in Shishmaref.
On Wednesday, August 31, NSHC identified 11 new cases of COVID-19 across the region. Five of the new cases were in Unalakleet, two each were in Nome and Teller and one was found in both Savoonga and Shishmaref.
On Thursday, September 1, NSHC identified three new cases of COVID-19. Two were in Nome and one was in Unalakleet.
On Friday, September 2, NSHC identified two new cases of COVID-19, both in Nome.
Only one new case was reported over the weekend, on Saturday in Nome.
On Monday, September 5, eight new cases of COVID-19 were identified. Seven of the cases were in Nome, and one was in Brevig.
At press time on Tuesday, there were 25 active cases in the region: Eight in Unalakleet, five in Nome, four in White Mountain, three in Elim, two in Shishmaref, one in Brevig, one in Savoonga, and one in Teller.
Since the beginning of the pandemic the United States has had at 94,645,190 officially reported cases of COVID-19 and 1,042,581 associated deaths.
The State of Alaska has had 279,888 cases, 3,865 hospitalizations, and 1,304 deaths. There are currently 80 people hospitalized due to COVID-19.
Nome, the Norton Sound and Bering Strait region has had at least 6,434 cases, 48 hospitalizations and six deaths.

Nearly two years after a deadly hit-and-run crash that remains unsolved, the parents of one victim say Chicago police have kept them in the dark, leaving them with no idea how much evidence investigators have collected – until NBC 5 Investigates showed them.
On the evening of Dec. 23, 2020, as their families prepared for the Christmas holiday, 12-year-old Giovany Bucio and Araceli Gutierrez, 48, walked to the store just blocks away from his family’s Gage Park home. They never returned.
Just after 8 p.m., a black sedan speeding west on 55th Street fatally struck them as they crossed the street just east of Kedzie Avenue. The car fled the scene.
“We never expected this to happen, you know? We’re happy, getting ready,” Giovany’s father Angel Bucio said. “It’s the worst thing that you could feel.”
And since that day, Giovany’s parents say police have not kept them informed of developments in the case.
“When I always call them, they say, ‘Oh the detective’s not here and call back,’ I call back and they tell you the same thing. I’m not happy with that,” Bucio said.
“Right now, they don’t even give us a call, like courtesy, like this is how the case is going, nothing,” he added. “It makes you think they’re not doing their job.”
Through public records requests, NBC 5 Investigates and Telemundo Chicago Investiga obtained dozens of surveillance and body-worn camera videos, photos, witness interviews and more, detailing the evidence Chicago police have collected on the case.
It shows that a tipster called police less than 48 hours after the crash, having spotted an abandoned, heavily damaged Chevy Malibu and putting two and two together. Records show police later tracked the cell phone of the owner of that car – placing him near the scene of the crash that night, then driving down to Mexico in a different vehicle immediately after.
Giovany’s parents said it’s been over six months since they last spoke with Chicago police – and they had no idea how much investigators know.
“I thought they had very little but now I see it’s a lot of evidence,” Bucio said, adding, “If it wasn't for you I wouldn't know nothing until now.”
He said he didn’t understand why police haven’t at least kept them informed.
“They haven’t called us, nothing, so why? You already have evidence, you have videos, why not call the family of the person that they kill your son?” Bucio asked. “Why not share whatever you have with the family that’s going through this?”
NBC 5 Investigates asked Chicago police if they’ve attempted to locate the suspect, or notified authorities in Mexico, or are in communication with federal officials in the event that the suspect crosses the border.
But, as they have with every other inquiry on a hit-and-run case, CPD again refused to answer any specific questions, citing the ongoing nature of their investigation.
“The Chicago Police Department's Major Accidents Investigations Unit is actively and thoroughly investigating this case to apprehend the individual responsible,” CPD said in a statement. “Due to this being an ongoing investigation, we will not release further details as we continue to seek justice on behalf of the victims and their families.”
Giovany’s parents say their son was loving and kind, always looking after his younger brother – even waking up early on weekends to feed him breakfast – and friendly with everyone at school.
As Giovany’s classmates graduated eighth grade without him this year, his school sent his family a diploma filled with notes from friends, telling him how much he is loved and missed.
“We always talked about his graduation and although he’s not physically here, he left me this diploma that for me, is gold,” his mother Sandy Gordoa said, speaking in Spanish.
But Giovany’s parents said the police response has only caused confusion and pain.
“Why they haven’t do anything? Like why they waiting to do something?” Bucio asked.
“Can I go out right now and kill someone and hide and they’ll leave things like this?” Gordoa said in Spanish. “You can’t go out with confidence because anyone can kill you and they don’t do anything,”
Since this crash, there have been more than 61,000 hit-and-runs across Chicago, city data shows. Those crashes have killed at least 64 people and left more than 8,000 others injured.

Former IBM Littleton site to become mixed-use project, here's what it will include
Less than a year after Littleton Town Meeting members voted to approve a zoning overlay change for the former IBM site, the vision for its redevelopment is beginning to take shape.
Chelmsford developer Salvatore Lupoli plans to transform the 41-acre property at 550 King St. from an aged office park to a mixed-use project containing up to 780 units of multi-family housing (including 78 affordable units) retail, restaurant, commercial, office and manufacturing space.
In March, The Engineering Corp (TEC) submitted plans on behalf of Lupoli to the Littleton Planning Board for a special permit, which the board unanimously approved in June. The project will be built in three phases over five years, with construction expected to begin this year.
Right now, the property consists of a parking lot and two three-story brick office buildings, which the developer will attempt to re-use, but may ultimately demolish. The historic Tuttle House at the south end of the site will be preserved, along with its neighboring pear orchard and mature trees on the property.
King Street Commons will include 12 new buildings ranging from two-story retail/commercial space to a five-story residential building. There will also be four parking structures in addition to on-street and parking lots, creating a total of 2,188 parking spaces.

The planning board's approval comes just six months after Town Meeting members voted in favor of adopting the King Street Common Zoning District, which changed allowed uses to include multi-family residential and apartment options, office, research and development, restaurant and medical services.
The zoning changes disallowed large-scale warehousing and distribution, which were previously allowed at the site, and also prohibited drive-throughs except for banks.
The project will connect to the town's sewer system, with the cost being split between the developer and the town. The town's municipal sewer extension project is expected to be complete in 2024. The project is located within the town's water aquifer district, making water quality a top concern.

The developer aims to create a walkable development with programmable open space for events and activities, safe pedestrian walkways and connections to Littleton Common. At the developer's expense, the project is expected to have transportation options for residents to get to the Littleton commuter rail station as well.
While the existing site is mostly paved, the new development will incorporate green space, stormwater treatment facilities and native plant landscaping to make the environment more visually appealing.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have fallen short in enough playoff games in recent years to know the season is long and the opener doesn’t mean much in January.
They still felt justified in their championship aspirations after going into the Super Bowl winners’ home stadium and completely wrecking their banner-raising party on the NFL’s opening night.
“We’re going to make the plane do backflips on the way home tonight,” Von Miller said. “We’re going to celebrate this win, because you have to, but then we’re going to go back to the lab.”
Josh Allen passed for 297 yards while accounting for four touchdowns, Miller had two of Buffalo’s seven sacks, and the Bills stamped themselves as a clear contender for the Rams’ crown with a 31-10 victory over Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Gabe Davis, Isaiah McKenzie and Stefon Diggs caught TD passes as the two-time defending AFC East champions began the NFL’s 103rd season by overcoming four turnovers and running away with a blowout win in the same arena where the Rams won it all nearly seven months ago.
Allen went 26 for 31 despite two interceptions. He also rushed for 56 yards, scrambling for a 4-yard TD when he stretched the ball over the line with 13:27 to play.
The star quarterback took his share of hits, but he also dished them out and showed off a mean stiff-arm while Buffalo’s offense under new coordinator Ken Dorsey largely dominated the champs. The Bills went 9 for 10 on third downs and racked up 413 total yards, eventually pulling away after three first-half turnovers kept it close early.
“There’s a lot to learn, but that second half, that’s who we want to be, going out there and executing that way,” Allen said. “We were 90% on third down. That’s a recipe for success.”
Matthew Stafford passed for 240 yards with one TD and three interceptions on a bruising night for the Rams, who lost a season opener and fell below .500 for the first time in coach Sean McVay’s six seasons in charge.
“Very humbling night, but one where you look yourself in the mirror and say you have to be better,” McVay said. “We weren’t ready to go. That’s on me. … There were a lot of decisions I made that didn’t put us in the best position to succeed. It was a very humbling night.”
The Bills’ seven sacks were the most allowed in McVay’s tenure with the Rams, who lost two starters from last year’s offensive line and attempted to replace them internally. Miller came through, but he was just one contributor on a night when Buffalo didn’t even need to blitz once to keep Stafford in check.
Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp had 13 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown, but the Rams’ night went quickly downhill. Los Angeles could not keep up with Allen’s creative playmaking or the Bills’ pass rush, and its only major offseason addition on offense — receiver Allen Robinson — had one catch on two targets.
Los Angeles trailed 17-10 after three quarters, but Buffalo ran away with two lengthy TD drives early in the fourth. The Rams even got shut out in the second half, ending a streak of 89 consecutive halves with a point since November 2019.
“We could play a whole lot better than that, no doubt,” Stafford said. “The one thing that gives me a good feeling is knowing the guys in that locker room and knowing we’re going to band together.”
Miller made an immediate impact in his debut for the Bills, who signed him away from the Rams after he won a ring in his half-season in LA. But he was just one part of a defense that yielded only 177 yards before Los Angeles’ final, meaningless drive.
Aaron Donald made his 99th career sack in the first half, but the seven-time All-Pro had just two tackles as the Rams became only the second defending champions in the last 10 years to lose the following season opener. They also lost by the second-biggest margin in league history for a Super Bowl winner beginning its next season; Baltimore lost by 22 to Denver in 2013.
After falling behind 10-0 despite two Bills turnovers, Los Angeles finally scored on its fourth drive when Kupp made an exceptional toe-tapping TD catch three minutes before halftime. After Allen threw his second interception, Matt Gay hit a 57-yard field goal to pull the Rams even at the halftime gun.
And Los Angeles never scored again.
PUNCTUATION
Diggs capped the domination with a 53-yard TD catch with 9:25 to play, talking trash to Rams All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey afterward.
“You’ve got the two top guys in the NFL competing against each other,” Davis said of Diggs and Ramsey. “Both going to be talking back and forth, and we’re going to see who comes out on top, you know. And 14 came out on top today, and that’s what I expect from him.”
50K
With a long third-down pass to Kupp on his opening drive, Stafford became the 12th quarterback in NFL history to pass for 50,000 career yards. He tied Drew Brees as the fastest to the mark, doing it in 183 games.
TO THE RAFTERS
Along with the banner to celebrate last February’s title, the Rams also hung a banner in the south rafters at SoFi Stadium honoring the 1999-2000 Super Bowl champions from the St. Louis era. The brief pregame ceremony included owner Stan Kroenke, retired left tackle Andrew Whitworth — and free agent Odell Beckham Jr., who held aloft the Lombardi Trophy.
INJURIES
Bills DL Ed Oliver injured his ankle in the first half and tried to play through it, but couldn’t do much. … Rams rookie RB Kyren Williams injured his ankle in the opening minutes. … The Rams played without WR Van Jefferson, who had knee surgery early in training camp after starting 21 games last season.
UP NEXT
Bills: Host Tennessee on Monday, Sept. 19.
Rams: Host Atlanta on Sunday, Sept. 18.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Sean McVay knows that one of the prices of longevity in the NFL is that eventually he’s going to experience a lot of good and bad things as a coach.
He hasn’t had too many bad experiences, but Thursday night was definitely one of them.
The Rams’ 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills was the first time in six openers that McVay has been on the losing end. Reporters could hear McVay yelling at his team, including a couple expletives, after the game because only a retractable door separates the locker room from the post-game interview room.
There was a reason why McVay was incensed. It’s only the fifth time the Rams have lost by at least 21 points since he became coach in 2017. It was also the second-worst loss by a defending Super Bowl champion, with Baltimore’s 49-27 loss at Denver in 2013 the standard.
The defeat also made McVay utter a word he has rarely used — humbling.
“It was very humbling night but one where you look yourself in the mirror and say you have to be better,” McVay said. “I feel a sense of letting a lot of people down that I care about. We’re going to fix this.”
The Rams had problems on both sides of the ball. Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times, marking only the third time in his 14-year career he has gone down that many times.
With the retirement of Andrew Whitworth and departure of Austin Corbett, Los Angeles has two new starters in left tackle Joe Noteboom and right guard Coleman Shelton. Buffalo didn’t blitz once and one of their seven sacks came with only three pass rushers.
“Honestly, you just be a man about it. You watch it, understand what went wrong and do whatever you need to do to address the issues,” right tackle Rob Havenstein said.
Stafford, who completed 29 of 42 passes for 240 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions, said he has to do a better job throwing it sooner but also pointed out that he saw the Bills play a scheme he doesn’t see too often.
“Not a lot of people play nickel safety same side cover three. It wasn’t earth shattering stuff but we haven’t gotten that in a long time,” Stafford said. “I don’t feel like that was a reason that we’re holding on to it or anything.”
Defensively, the Rams were lousy on third-down conversions and allowed Bills receivers to gain 114 yards after the catch. Josh Allen had completed only one pass thrown over 15 yards in the first three quarters before connecting with Gabriel Davis for 47 yards on the first play of the fourth quarter and Stefon Diggs for a 53-yard touchdown play that made it a three-touchdown lead midway through the fourth.
“I think this was humbling. Obviously, everybody’s frustrated because it’s not how you want to come out,” linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “We just have to be locked in. Stuff like this happens the first couple games. It’s not just one person or anything like that. We all have to play better defense.”
Defending Super Bowl champions dropped to 45-11-1 in openers. McVay wasn’t ready to declare his team was experiencing a championship hangover. Los Angeles hosts Atlanta on Sept. 18 before road games against Arizona and San Francisco.
“It’s too early to say that. We are not going to use that as an excuse,” he said. “I don’t want to take credit away from what they did.”

What happened
Shares of Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS) surged on Friday after the cloud security leader reported impressive growth metrics. By the close of trading, Zscaler's stock price was up nearly 22%.
So what
Zscaler's revenue rocketed 61% year over year to $318.1 million in its fiscal 2022 fourth quarter, which ended on July 31. That topped Wall Street's expectations; analysts had projected revenue of $305 million.
"Despite the uncertain macroeconomic landscape which continues to evolve, we continue to see favorable demand for our Zero Trust Exchange platform because it makes businesses more secure, simplifies IT, and reduces cost," CEO Jay Chaudhry said in a press release.
Still, Zscaler is not yet profitable. It generated a Q4 operating loss of $82.5 million, compared to a loss of $67.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Its net loss, in turn, widened to $97.7 million from $81 million in the year-ago period.
However, Zscaler's adjusted net income -- which excludes stock-based compensation and other items -- improved by 79% to $36.4 million, or $0.25 per share. That was far above analysts' estimates for per-share profits of $0.20.
Better still, Zscaler ramped up its cash flow production. Its operating and free cash flow jumped 131% and 170%, respectively, to $103.1 million and $74.8 million.
Now what
The cybersecurity specialist sees its revenue growing by roughly 38% year over year to $1.5 billion in fiscal 2023. Management also forecast adjusted operating income of $173 million to $176 million and earnings per share of $1.16 to $1.18 for fiscal 2023.

Betty Gass (born Betty Louise Moser on May 19, 1937) passed away peacefully with family by her side on May 25, 2022.
Born in her parents’ home in Bloomsburg, Betty was the eldest of two children of Morris Moser and Velma Jean (Laubach) Moser. Her star began shining early in her life, when she was an A+ student and a gifted piano and clarinet player. She graduated from Bloomsburg State Teachers College after which she married Forrest L. Gass. Betty is survived by her three sons, Jonathan Craig (Petra), David Bruce (Donald Karl), and Christopher Alan, as well as her granddaughter, Andrea Lillian.
Betty spent much of her life teaching second and third grade at Beck Elementary School in Sunbury. She loved her career and cared about each of her students. She made friends easily and had many. She understood the difference between nice, kind, and good. She was all three. Drawing upon her many strengths, she made a difference in the lives of those she cared about, including her students and her many friends.
Betty loved to travel and did so more extensively than she ever dreamed. She made the most of each trip, being sure to buy shoes and jewelry everywhere she went.
Betty lived in various places in Pennsylvania and, later in life, settled in Prescott, Arizona. In the story of her life, she was many things, including Betty the daughter, the wife, the mother, the teacher, and the widow. But in her final years, she found joy in being known simply as Betty to her friends in Arizona.
Her star continues to shine brightly, just in another realm.
We will celebrate Betty’s life in Prescott, Arizona, and Sunbury, Pa. We will announce the details later.
In lieu of flowers and cards, please donate to your favorite charity.

By Munir Ahmed | Associated Press
ISLAMABAD — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Friday that the world owes impoverished Pakistan “massive” help in recovering from the summer’s devastating floods because the country bears less blame than many other nations for climate change, which experts say contributed to the deluge.
Months of heavy monsoon rains and flooding have killed 1,391 people and affected 3.3 million in this South Asian nation while half a million people have become homeless. Planeloads of aid from the United States, the United Arab Emirates and other countries have begun arriving, but Guterres said there’s more to be done.
Nature, the U.N. chief said in Islamabad, has attacked Pakistan, which contributes less than 1% of global emissions, according to multiple experts.
Nations that “are more responsible for climate change … should have faced this challenge,” said Guterres, sitting next to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
“We are heading into a disaster,” Guterres added. “We have waged war on nature and nature is tracking back and striking back in a devastating way. Today in Pakistan, tomorrow in any of your countries.”
The U.N. chief’s trip comes less than two weeks after Guterres appealed for $160 million in emergency funding to help those affected by the monsoon rains and floods that Pakistan says have caused at least $10 billion in damages.
“I appeal for massive support from the international community as Pakistan responds to this climate catastrophe,” Guterres tweeted after landing in Pakistan earlier Friday.
He said other nations contributing to climate change are obligated to reduce emissions and help Pakistan. He assured Sharif that his voice was “entirely at the service of the Pakistani government and the Pakistani people” and that “the entire U.N. system is at the service of Pakistan.”
“Pakistan has not contributed in a meaningful way to climate change, the level of emissions in this country is relatively low,” Guterres said. “But Pakistan is one of the most dramatically impacted countries by climate change.”
On Friday, the first planeload arrived from the U.S. , which Washington says is part of an upcoming $30 million in assistance. More U.S. military planes are expected to arrive in the coming days as part of a humanitarian bridge set up by Washington to deliver much-need aid across the country.
USAID announced an additional $20 million Friday in humanitarian assistance for Pakistan, further enhancing U.S. pledges.
Later, Guterres directed his words at the international community, saying that by some estimates, Pakistan needs about $30 billion to recover from the floods.
“Even today, emissions are rising as people die in floods and famines. This is insanity. This is collective suicide,” he said. “From Pakistan, I am issuing a global appeal: Stop the madness; end the war with nature; invest in renewable energy now.”
So far, U.N. agencies and several countries have sent nearly 60 planeloads of aid, and authorities say the UAE has been one of the most generous contributors and sent so far 26 flights carrying aid for flood victims.
Also Friday, Samantha Power, the administrator of USAID, met with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in Islamabad. She later told reporters she had visited flood-hit areas in Sindh province on Thursday, and she witnessed widespread destruction caused by floods.
The floods have touched all of Pakistan, including heritage sites such as Mohenjo Daro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site considered one of the best-preserved ancient urban settlements in South Asia. The civilization that dates back 4,500 years, coinciding with those of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The U.N. heritage agency on Thursday announced it would send $350,000 to help recover flood-damaged cultural heritage sites.
Speaking at a press conference with Foreign Minister Bhutto Zardari, Guterres underscored the importance of combatting climate change.
“It is happening now all around us and I urge governments to address this issue,” he said and added that what he has done so far as the U.N. chief is “a drop in the ocean of the needs of the Pakistani people.”
He said a proposal for a donors conference for flood-hit Pakistan is under discussion.
Since June, heavy rains and floods have added new burdens to cash-strapped Pakistan and highlighted the disproportionate effect of climate change on impoverished populations. Experts say Pakistan is responsible for only 0.4% of the world’s historic emissions that are blamed for climate change. The U.S. is responsible for 21.5%, China for 16.5% and the European Union for 15%.
The floods in Pakistan have also injured 12,722 people, destroyed thousands of miles of roads, toppled bridges and damaged schools and hospitals, according to the National Disaster Management Agency.
Even as they contend with the unprecedented flooding, Pakistani authorities are also struggling with militant attacks. Late Friday, suspected militants opened fire on a mayor’s convoy in Tank, a town in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the police said. Tank has also been affected by the flooding.
The mayor, Saddam Hussain, escaped unharmed, but the gunmen killed four policemen escorting his vehicle, said police officer Waqar Khan. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Associated Press writer Riaz Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan, contributed to this story.

South Carolina Senate fails to pass near-total abortion ban after GOP lawmaker filibuster
By Veronica Stracqualursi, Andi Babineau and Jon Passantino, CNN
The South Carolina Republican-led Senate was unable to pass a bill Thursday that sought to ban nearly all abortions at every stage of pregnancy without exceptions for rape and incest, instead choosing to amend the state’s already restrictive abortion law, after a handful of GOP senators joined with Democrats to block the bill.
The failure of the near-total abortion ban spoke to the divide among South Carolina Republicans — and the chasm among Republicans in general — over whether abortion restrictions should include exceptions for pregnancies that were the result of a rape or incest.
South Carolina House bill 5399, which passed the state House last month, had enough support from Senate Republicans to ban nearly all abortions in the state, but a filibuster on Thursday from GOP state Sen. Tom Davis stopped it in its tracks. Republicans did not have the votes to overcome a filibuster and proceed to a vote on the bill, which requires a higher threshold of votes.
“I’m not going to let this (bill) come to a vote unless this body votes and sits me down,” Davis said on the Senate floor Thursday night.
Unable to pass the restrictive bill, Republicans instead took up an amendment that struck the bill’s language and inserted language to change the state’s existing six-week ban on abortion. That ban has been blocked by the South Carolina Supreme Court from being enforced after taking effect shortly after Roe v. Wade was overturned. As a state court continues to review that law, the state’s 2016 law that bans abortions 20 weeks after conception is currently in effect.
In introducing the amendment, state Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, a Republican, conceded that the “votes are not there in the Senate right now to have an abortion ban earlier than six weeks.”
“I hate that I have to admit that,” he said, adding, “You got to have the votes to pass it, and we unfortunately do not.”
“This is not where I wanted to be. I was hoping we’d do something pretty aggressive in response to Dobbs,” Massey said in introducing his amendment. “Hopefully we’re going to make progress. This amendment is definitely progress.”
He claimed the amendment would “shore up” the South Carolina law, S.1, against the legal challenges and correct the issues that the state Supreme Court identified as an ambiguity with the law. He argued that if the law isn’t fixed, South Carolina will be “abortion on demand.”
S. 1 bans abortions once what it calls a “fetal heartbeat” is detected, which can be as early as four weeks, and more commonly, six weeks into pregnancy.
Massey’s amendment maintains the exceptions to the ban for pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest, but shortens the time frame. The law currently allows exceptions to the ban for rape or incest if the “probable post-fertilization age of the fetus” is fewer than 20 weeks. The amendment would allow an exception for rape or incest up to the first trimester, which is up until about 14 weeks.
Several senators on the floor Thursday took issue with two subsections of the amendment, which state that fatal fetal abnormalities would require a diagnosis by two separate physicians before an abortion could be performed, and that a physician performing the abortion “shall preserve a DNA sample from the fetal remains and notify the sheriff in the county in which the abortion was performed.” A sheriff must then retrieve and store the sample in evidence for 90 days, so that the perpetrator of the rape might be prosecuted.
Massey’s amendment was adopted by a voice vote.
The bill has been sent back to the South Carolina House of Representatives, which will decide whether to accept the changes.
Republicans divided
House bill 5399, when it was first brought to the Senate on Wednesday, did not include exceptions for rape or incest, or fatal fetal anomalies. Davis had introduced several amendments over the two days to add back in the exceptions and was successful in getting an exemption for fatal fetal anomalies back into the bill.
“I made some headway yesterday in making a bad bill better, but it’s nowhere near the point where I can support it,” Davis said Thursday.
“And I recognize to a significant degree that I’m breaking with my Republican brethren,” he added.
Republican members were deeply divided over whether the bill should include these exceptions — with all three of the Senate’s female GOP members speaking out strongly against the bill Wednesday morning.
“If you want to believe that God is wanting you to push a bill through with no exception that kills mothers and ruins the lives of children, let’s mothers bring home babies to bury them, then I think you’re miscommunicating with God or maybe you’re just not communicating with him at all,” Republican Sen. Katrina Shealy said Wednesday in a fiery speech on the Senate floor directed toward her male colleagues.
“I know we disagree on a lot of issues, but hearing you talk about menstrual cycles, conception, how you know when your egg is fertilized or having a baby, I got to tell you it really disgusts me.”
Shealy added: “Yes, I’m pro-life. I’m also pro-life with the mother, the life she has with her children who are already born. I care about the children who are forced into adulthood that was made up by a legislature full of men so they can make take a victory lap and feel good about it. You want children raising children who will most likely suffer domestic violence and live in poverty. But you don’t care because you’ve done your job and you will forget about them once they are born.”
Fellow GOP Sen. Sandy Senn also predicted that women would turn out in droves in the November election to vote on the issue of abortion, while also calling for the issue to be placed on the ballot.
Republican Sen. Penry Gustafson called on lawmakers “to face reality y’all. We don’t live in Dark Ages.”
“This is not simply a moral decision. And I’m not advocating for abortion on demand and I’m not advocating for abortion as birth control, but there are more considerations that must be undertaken,” she said on the Senate floor in arguing for exceptions for fatal fetal anomalies.
Lawmakers on Thursday also declined to amend H. 5399 so its text would be replaced with a joint resolution that would propose a ballot measure that would amend the constitution to recognize a “right of bodily integrity and autonomy that includes a limited right to abortion.”
Conservative Republican Rep. Josiah Magnuson, who backed the bill, told CNN that it’s “embarrassing” that the Senate failed to pass a abortion ban as “most of these Republicans ran on strong pro-life” platforms.
“We’ve got to pass a bill that truly protects every innocent life,” he argued. He said conservative Republicans would be willing to go along with what lawmakers can do to restrict abortion, but added, “I don’t think this is the best we can get.” Magnuson said he supports voting down the Senate changes to the bill, which if the House chooses to do so would send the legislation to a conference committee.
After the US Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, a South Carolina House ad hoc committee met in July to put together a “working draft” of H. 5399.
The original bill as they drafted it sought to ban abortion at every stage of pregnancy without exceptions for rape or incest– which, like in the Senate, was a major point of contention among Republicans in the House.
The House last week hastily added in an exception for cases of rape and incest up to 12 weeks after conception, with requirements to report the claim of rape or incest to law enforcement, before voting to advance the bill.
The Senate Medical Affairs Committee on Tuesday then removed the exception for rape and incest up to 12 weeks after conception, before advancing it to the full Senate.
The Senate-amended bill will now need to be approved again by the House before it can be sent to the governor’s desk.

British musician Elton John paid respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II at a show in Toronto, Canada, before a sea of fans as well-wishers gathered in London during ten days of mourning for Her Majesty before the royal funeral.
"About the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. She was an inspiring presence to be around," John said.
His words were met with a round of applause from fans at the show.
I've been around her, and she was fantastic. She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, decency, and genuine caring warmth," he said.
"I'm 75, she's been with me all my life. I am very sad that she won't be with me anymore. But I'm glad that she's at peace, and I'm glad she's at rest, and she deserves it; she's worked bloody hard. I send my love to her family and her loved ones. She will be sorely missed. Her spirit lives on, and we celebrate her life tonight with music, ok," John said.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon utilities shut down power to tens of thousands of customers on Friday as dry easterly winds swept into the region in the hopes that it would lessen the risk of wildfires in extremely dry and hot conditions.
Power shut-offs due to extreme fire weather, common in California, are relatively new to the Pacific Northwest. The plans, which were part of permanent rules approved in May to manage wildfire danger in high-risk areas, mark the new reality in a region better known for its rain and temperate rainforests.
Portland General Electric halted power to about 30,000 customers in 12 service areas — including the posh West Hills neighborhood of Portland — and Pacific Power shut down service to more than 7,000 customers in a small community on the Pacific Coast, where a wildfire burned two years ago, and in pockets southeast of the state capitol of Salem.
Schools in the areas with planned power outages canceled classes and authorities urged residents to charge cellphones and be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice.
The winds were whipping up a wildfire southeast of Eugene, Oregon, that had been burning in the wilderness for a month but was now making a run toward the small community of Oakridge, where residents were urged to evacuate. Gov. Kate Brown declared a fire emergency late Friday for the Cedar Creek Fire as it encroached on the 3,200-person town.
Climate change is bringing drier conditions to the Pacific Northwest and that requires strategies that have been common in fire-prone California for the past decade or more, said Erica Fleishman, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute at Oregon State University.
Wind patterns haven't changed, but those winds are now coinciding more frequently with drier vegetation and hotter temperatures — a toxic mix for fire ignition, rapid spread and extreme fire behavior, she said.
"I don't know whether this is the solution, but it's an interim effort to manage wildfire risk," Fleishman said. "People are going, 'Oh my gosh!' The areas we thought were safe, they're realizing those are not immune to fire anymore. The fire likelihood is changing."
The proactive power shutoffs were just the second for Portland General Electric ever. The utility shut down power to 5,000 customers in 2020 near Mount Hood during firestorms that ravaged the state. Extreme winds over Labor Day weekend led to wildfires that burned more than 1 million acres (405,000 hectares), destroyed 4,000 homes and killed at least 11 people — and utilities were blamed for some of those fire starts.
Pacific Power, another major utility in Oregon, said the shutoffs Friday were the first the company has ever done. The company put a wildfire mitigation plan in place in Oregon in 2018 that includes studying wind and weather patterns to predict high-risk areas.
The utility was sued last year by residents in two towns that burned to ashes in the 2020 wildfires who blamed the company for not shutting down power in advance of the devastating wind storm.
Pacific Power has since hired a team of meteorologists to make fire weather forecasts and is spending more than $500 million to "harden" its electric grid in high-risk areas by replacing wooden poles with carbonized ones and encasing power lines and conductor boxes to reduce the chances of a spark, said Drew Hanson, a Pacific Power spokesman.
"You can look at the West in general and climate change has impacted areas from Southern California, and then Northern California and now up into this region as well, we're seeing those same conditions," he said.
"It's something we are taking very seriously. We realize the changing landscape. We've been changing and evolving along with it."
A number of blazes are burning in Oregon and Washington state.
The largest in Oregon is the Double Creek Fire burning in northeastern Oregon near the Idaho border. The fire grew by nearly 47 square miles (122 square kilometers) Wednesday because of wind gusts up to 50 mph (80 kph) and as of Friday had burned a total of nearly 214 square miles (554 square kilometers). It's threatening about 100 homes near the community of Imnaha.
In Central Oregon, the Cedar Creek Fire east of Oakridge has burned nearly 52 square miles (135 square kilometers). On Friday, officials ordered residents of greater Oakridge, Westfir and High Prairie areas to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice due to increased fire activity.
The Van Meter Fire, which started Wednesday, is burning on Stukel Mountain about 13 miles (21 kilometers) southeast of Klamath Falls. One home and four structures have been destroyed and about 260 structures are threatened by that blaze, officials said.
The Rum Creek Fire was also burning in southwest Oregon and was almost halfway contained at about 33 square miles (82 square kilometers).

GENEVA (AP) — China can’t cooperate with the U.N. human rights office after it released a report criticizing Beijing’s policies against Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in western Xinjiang, a top Chinese diplomat said Friday.
However, Chen Xu, China’s ambassador to U.N. institutions in Geneva distinguished between not working with the human rights office and cooperating with the world body overall.
Chen said the report issued last week – which said some rights violations under China’s anti-terrorism policies could amount to crimes against humanity — offered up “groundless blame” of China’s policies and practices.
“We cannot, on the one hand, conduct cooperation with the office, while at the same time it issued such a kind of assessment,” Chen told U.N. Geneva press association ACANU. China believes the report “constitutes a threat,” and cannot “conduct cooperation as if nothing happened,” he said.
In the waning minutes of her last day in office on Aug. 31, the office of Michelle Bachelet, then U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, issued a report accusing China of serious human rights violations against Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic groups. It called on the world community to give “urgent attention” to the situation in Xinjiang.
Human rights groups have accused China of sweeping a million or more people from the minority groups into detention camps where many have said they were tortured, sexually assaulted, and forced to abandon their language and religion.
China has repeatedly said the “assessment” was a fabrication cooked up by Western nations.
Chen said China — one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — will continue to work with the United Nations overall, calling the world body the “core” of international relations.
“We will continue the cooperation. But as I said, the office cannot represent the United Nations by delivering such an assessment, in such a nature,” he said.
Chen also said China would take an “active part” in activities of the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council in its upcoming four-week session starting Monday.
The council works closely with the U.N. human rights office, which falls under the office of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. On Thursday, the U.N. General Assembly chose Austria’s Volker Türk as Bachelet’s successor.

Defense rests at R. Kelly trial on trial-fixing charges
The defense for R. Kelly and two co-defendants rested Friday at the R&B singer’s trial on charges of trial-fixing, child pornography and enticing minors for sex, with closing arguments and the start of jury deliberations scheduled for early next week.
Minutes before resting, Kelly co-defendant and ex-business manager Derrell McDavid ended three days on the stand. He testified for nearly two days that he had believed Kelly when he denied abusing minors — then said he started have doubts about Kelly's believability during the trial that started last month.
Kelly and McDavid are charged with fixing Kelly’s 2008 state child pornography trial — at which Kelly was acquitted — by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence. Both also face child pornography charges. A third co-defendant, Kelly associate Milton Brown, is accused of receiving child pornography.
Prosecutors normally get a chance to call witnesses in a rebuttal of the defense case. But when they told Judge Harry Leinenweber on Friday that they needed some time to prepare, he said there would be no rebuttal and the case would go straight to closing arguments Monday morning.
McDavid was the only one of the three defendants to testify in his own behalf.
Kelly, 55, already was sentenced to 30 years in prison in June after a separate federal trial in New York.
Known for his smash hit “I Believe I Can Fly” and for sex-infused songs such as “Bump n’ Grind,” Kelly sold millions of albums even after allegations of sexual misconduct began circulating in the 1990s. Widespread outrage emerged after the #MeToo reckoning and the 2019 docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly.”
During her cross-examination of McDavid, prosecutor Jeannice Appenteng sought to cast doubt on his testimony that, all through the 2000s, he was unaware that the sexual abuse allegations might have some credence.
During Kelly’s monthlong trial in 2008, which McDavid attended, state prosecutors played a 30-minute, sexually explicit video dozens of times on large screens throughout the courtroom. Prosecutors said it showed Kelly abusing a 14-year-old girl, “Jane."
McDavid initially said he looked away every time the video was played but later conceded that he “glanced back and forth” at it, though not long enough to fully assess the content.
Appenteng also questioned McDavid about his claim that he wasn’t at a 2001 hotel room meeting with Jane and her parents, where government witnesses said Kelly admitted having sex with Jane, who regarded Kelly as her godfather.
McDavid testified that he drove to the hotel but remained outside in his car. “It was delicate,” he added.
“It was delicate,” the prosecutor shot back, “because Kelly admits (at the meeting) ... he is having sex with his goddaughter.”
On Thursday, McDavid also denied intimidating anyone leading up to the 2008 trial. His lawyer asked if he ever threatened to kill Kelly's ex-girlfriend Lisa Van Allen for having stolen a sex video from Kelly and for not being forthcoming about it, as she testified earlier.
“I’m an accountant. No,” he said.
At times, McDavid sounded more like a government witness.
In a sudden shift at the end of his second day of testimony Thursday, he expressed doubts about Kelly’s insistence in the 2000s that he never sexually abused minors.
Asked by his own lawyer, Beau Brindley, if he was in “a different position” to assess allegations against Kelly after sitting through government testimony by four Kelly accusers, including Jane, McDavid responded: “Yes, I am.”
“The last (few) weeks … I’ve learned a lot … that I had no idea about in 2008,” added McDavid, who previously had testified that he once saw Kelly as a son.
McDavid’s testimony could lend credence to the charges Kelly alone faces — five counts of enticing minor girls for sex, one count each for five accusers.
Judge Leinenweber repeatedly rejected requests from Kelly’s defense team that he be tried alone because his and McDavid's interests would conflict at a joint trial.
The ongoing trial in Kelly's hometown is, in ways , a do-over of the 2008 trial. The single video was at the heart of that trial and is also in evidence at the current trial.
Jane, then an adult, did not testify at that 2008 trial, which jurors cited as a reason they couldn't convict Kelly. She testified at the current trial that she was the person in that video. She also said Kelly sexually abused her hundreds of time starting when she was 14.

A juvenile sex offender has been arrested as a suspect in a series of burglaries and sexual contacts that occurred in Boulder’s University Hill neighborhood last weekend.
Police on Thursday night executed a search warrant at his family’s home in East Boulder, and the teen was arrested for violating his probation, according to a news release.
The 17-year-old suspect was charged Friday with:
- Three felony counts of second-degree burglary
- Two misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure
- One misdemeanor count of attempted invasion of privacy for sexual gratification
- One felony count of aggravated motor vehicle theft
- One misdemeanor count of unlawful sexual contact
He was taken to a juvenile detention center where he is being held without bond until Monday. Detectives believe he could be responsible for more incidents in the area, and additional charges are possible.
“We take these crimes very seriously and know our community, especially those who live on University Hill, were shaken by these brazen acts,” said Deputy Chief Steve Redfearn, in the release.
In December 2021, Boulder police arrested and charged the same juvenile — who was 16 years old at the time — with seven misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure after victims reported him looking into their home while committing a lewd act outside. At the time of his latest arrest, the suspect was on juvenile sex offender probation.
Investigators do not believe these crimes are connected to a sexual assault on the University of Colorado Boulder campus that occurred in August.

King Charles III bestowed new titles on his eldest son William and his wife Kate.
William will be referred to as the Prince of Wales and Kate will be known as the Princess of Wales.
The announcement was made as King Charles III addressed Britain and the Commonwealth following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
"Our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given," King Charles III said.
William and Kate are taking over titles that were previously held by Charles and Camila. William's mother, Diana, was also Princess of Wales while she was married to Charles.
William is first in line to succeed his father as king.
The king did not reveal any new titles for his younger son, Harry, or his wife Meghan. Instead, he acknowledged that they have chosen a different path in the U.S.
"I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas," he said.

In a tragic incident during the immersion of Ganesh idols, two children drowned to death while one succumbed in the hospital in Unnao, said the officials on Friday.
The third child was declared dead at the hospital while undergoing treatment.
As per reports, the children had gone to immerse the Lord Ganesha idols in the river Ganga.
"Two children drowned to death, while a third died during treatment in Unnao. They had gone for the immersion of Lord Ganesh idols today in river Ganga in Kotwali Safipur area when the incident took place," said police.
The 10-day illustrious Ganesh Chathurthi festival came to an end on Friday. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with much pomp and zeal in several states across the country and 2022 marked the return of its celebration after 2 years of COVID-induced restrictions.
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha. It is one of the most popular Hindu festivals. It is celebrated for 10 days and it is believed that during this time, Lord Ganesha arrives on earth with his mother, Goddess Parvati and showers blessings on the people.

IAEA Report
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has stated in a new report that it cannot guarantee the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme, adding that there had been no progress in resolving questions about the past presence of nuclear material at undeclared sites. The assessment in this report undoubtedly comes as a setback to the hopes of reviving the JCPOA deal between Iran and the US.
According to the report, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi was increasingly concerned about Tehran not engaging with the IAEA on the outstanding safeguards issues during this reporting period. The Agency’s claim is that it has been pressing Iran for answers about the presence of nuclear material at three undeclared sites. In the absence of substantial explanations about what happened to the uranium that appears to have been present at the three sites, the agency said it could not guarantee that uranium had not been siphoned off to make weapons.
On the other hand, Iranian officials argue that they have sufficiently responded to the inquiries and that these issues are being dug up again as a result of political pressure from Israel and other countries that do not wish to see Iran in a position to negotiate a return to the 2015 nuclear deal.
It remains to be seen whether this disagreement can be resolved between the two parties. As it is, talks between the US and Iran on reviving the JCPOA haven’t been very fruitful and there has only been stuttering progress if any. This is unfortunate considering how many feel that bringing Iran back into the global market will help stabilise the disruptions caused to supply chains as a result of the Ukraine conflict. The hope is that interlocutors can help bridge this divide because the sanctions imposed on Iran have far-reaching effects on multiple countries and markets. In the meantime, Pakistan must continue enhancing its trade ties with Iran, especially in areas where there are no sanctions, because we cannot afford to be caught up in these matters and need to urgently focus on upscaling our trade volume with regional countries.

Shares of Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. dropped Friday, after Bernstein analyst Douglas Harned turned bearish on the space-tourism company, citing a pattern of disappointing flight delays and concerns over “highly dilutive” equity sales.
“We now have less confidence in the success of this business,” Harned wrote in a note to clients.
He cut his rating to underperform, after being at market perform since he started covering the stock in April 2021. Harned lowered his stock price target to $4 from $7, with the new target implying about 36% downside from Thursday’s closing price of $6.28.
The stock
SPCE,
Harned said disappointing second-quarter results, in which losses were wider than expected, “follow a pattern over the last two years” that has meant delay of future flight operations, redesign of elements of its platform and a need to raise more cash.
“Since we launched coverage in early 2021, the first commercial flight for private citizens has been pushed back by two years to Q4 2023 and more than $1.2 billion in cash has been raised in two equity rounds and a convertible bond offering,” Harned wrote. “”This all comes against a backdrop of higher interest rates that has led to a decline in valuation for early stage company shares.”
The stock fallen 11.9% over the past three months and has tumbled 77.0% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 index
SPX,
Among other concerns, Harned said that as he expects cash burn to continue to rise, he believes future equity sales will be “highly dilutive.” And the fact that the company is using a third party to expand their customer base for selling seats on future flights suggests there may be less demand that previously projected.
“We still do not see a ‘next thing’ that would drive more long-term growth in the 2030s that is needed for a strong terminal value,” Harned wrote.

COLUMBIA, SC (WSPA) – Officials in South Carolina said they will soon be developing a ‘road map’ to improve the state’s cyber industry.
Governor Henry McMaster, the South Carolina Department of Commerce and others announced a new initiative at the State House Friday morning.
The goal of the collaborative effort is to keep South Carolina competitive with other states in luring cyber-related businesses and having a workforce ready to take on these jobs.
According to officials, the state Department of Commerce will help usher in the development of a new strategic plan to boost the state’s cybersecurity industry.
Deputy Secretary Ashely Teasdel said, “Cybersecurity and staying ahead of digital threats plays an integral role in ensuring the success of industries across the board. A robust cyber ecosystem will help ensure South Carolina has the talent and resources we need to lead the way.”
Over the last year, consultants with Simon Everett conducted a wide-ranging analysis of South Carolina’s ability to compete with other states for cyber jobs or businesses. They said they looked at workforce development, educational opportunities, incentives and defense partnerships to name a few things.
Simon Everett Co-Founder and Principal, Brian Shea, said their study shows South Carolina ranked pretty well in economic growth but lagged behind other states in other aspects.
According to Shea, when it comes to the number of ‘information security analysts’ South Carolina is below the national average.
Shea said, “The good news is the state has already proven that when it points at an industry and says, ‘We’re going to grow this industry,’ it is very successful in doing so.”
Officials said a new group of stakeholders will take these findings and come up with a plan. Governor McMaster said the cyber industry has a far-reaching impact on businesses and families who call South Carolina home.
He said he’ll be issuing an executive order to formalize this next step. “It’ll have a thorough, comprehensive impact on just about everything we do in this state. Just about everyone relies on these types of records or devices. So we want to know what we’re doing from national security or economic prosperity.”

A 34-year-old Davenport man faces felony charges after police say he shot at least eight times at an occupied vehicle.
Darnell Hodges Sr. faces charges of intimidation with a dangerous weapon – injure/provoke fear, going armed with intent and control of a firearm by a felon, court records say.
Shortly before 2:30 a.m. Aug. 14, Davenport Police were dispatched to the area of 17th and Sturdevant streets for multiple calls about gunfire.
Hodges Sr. waited in a black Dodge Charger in the area of the 1500 block of Washington Street for a victim vehicle to leave. Hodges waited for about 20 minutes, affidavits say.
Once the victim vehicle left, Hodges Sr. immediately followed it, going the wrong way on a one-way street, and fired no fewer than eight shots at the other vehicle in the area of 17th and Sturdevant streets, affidavits say.
Police found eight 9mm casings at the scene.
The involved victim vehicle was stopped in a traffic stop by patrol after it left the scene. Officers found two uninjured people in it. Affidavits say the vehicle had been shot at least five times.
“The passenger admitted that he was in fear during this incident,” affidavits say. The shooting was also recorded on video.
Hodges Sr. is a convicted felon on multiple charges, which prevents him from having a gun. According to affidavits, “Notable convictions include but (are) not limited to:”
- First-degree theft – Scott County 5/11/2005
- Felon in possession of a firearm- Scott County 11/09/2006
- Possession with intent – marijuana – Scott County 9/05/2019
- Felon in possession of a firearm – Scott County 9/05/2019
Affidavits say Hodges Sr. is on probation out of Scott County until Sept. 5, 2024. He is being held on a $15,000 cash-only bond in Scott County Jail, and is set for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 16 in Scott County Court.

Tokyo, Sept. 9 (Jiji Press)--Bonuses at major Japanese companies this summer averaged 832,340 yen, up 7.59 pct from the previous year, a labor ministry survey showed Friday.
The average figure rose year on year for the first time in four years, thanks to the resumption of economic activities, which had been stalled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, the average was still below the 845,453 yen marked in 2019, before the virus crisis.
The average summer bonus rose in 16 of the 21 industry sectors. The steel sector marked the sharpest growth, of 78.96 pct, followed by the rubber products sector, with an increase of 15.46 pct, and the chemical sector, with 14.01 pct.
The average fell in five sectors, including the precision instrument sector, which saw the steepest decline, of 23.10 pct.

In November of 2021, former Super Smash Bros. pro Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios filed a lawsuit against his former roommate Jacqueline “Jisu” Choe for defamation, due to sexual msconduct allegations Choe made against Barrios. Today, Barrios announced in a YouTube video that he and his legal team had reached a settlement with Choe, formally ending the legal proceedings.
Furthermore, Barrios stated his intentions to return to content creation following the settlement reached in his lawsuit.
This planned return to creating content includes making YouTube videos on his channel with more than 900,000 subscribers again and attempting a social media campaign to get his Twitch account back, following it being banned after the original allegations were made against him in 2020.
The original allegations revolved around the now-infamous “Sky House,” a series of homes rented by content creator Sky Williams where multiple Super Smash Bros. pros and content creators lived—and from which multiple sexual misconduct allegations emerged in 2020. These allegations included claims that Barrios showed Choe explicit imagery and videos against her wishes, that he solicited sexual acts from a third party while said third party was a minor, and that Barrios’ wife, who was his girlfriend at the time, was a minor when the pair began dating.
In the video, Barrios displays a joint statement from himself and Jisu, which acknowledges that Jisu “did not view her time at the Sky House or interactions with Mr. Barrios in the same way” as Barrios, and includes an apology from Barrios to Choe for his role in her feeling “harassed and demeaned.” That document also includes a retraction from Choe of her previous allegations regarding Barrios and his wife, which “were not accurate,” according to the settlement statement.
The statement concludes with Choe and Barrios agreeing to resolve the lawsuit. The resolution follows a report by Jacob Wolf from August of this year that the two parties were nearing a settlement, following an L.A. court striking three out of the four allegations of defamation from the case for being outside of the California statute of limitations.
Barrios goes further in his video, explaining that Choe retracted and deleted all of her previous allegations made against Barrios as part of the settlement. In addition, Barrios explains in his video that the sexual misconduct allegations made against him by a different party have not been resolved due to his legal team’s inability to contact the party that made said allegations, but that he denies those allegations and has evidence to support his innocence in the matter.
It remains to be seen if Barrios will be successful in potentially appealing his ban on Twitch, but for the time being, he says that he will resume regularly updating his YouTube channels.

A Derbyshire publican has deep fears for his pub and the industry as a whole as he faces energy bills rocketing from £1,500 to £6,000 each month. 57-year-old Dave Mountford has run The Boat pub, in Cromford, for 10 years and has described to us how the lack of financial support and excessive price increases by the energy companies are leading pubs to the grave.
With energy bills and the overall cost of living swallowing businesses whole, publicans are frantically on edge. For most people, explains Dave, whatever measures are introduced will be too little, too late, with over 10,000 pubs having to shut their doors for good, as a knock-on effect of the Covid lockdowns.
Dave has aired his frustrations with both the energy companies and the government for being "completely out of touch" with business owners and the public alike.
READ MORE: Martin Lewis' verdict on leaked Liz Truss energy price freeze plan
Speaking to Derbyshire Live on his current energy battle, Dave said: "We have three different meters and our electricity agreement with Scottish Power has just finished and so I've been shopping around for a cheaper price.
"It's been our first month with a new supplier EDF as it's the cheapest quote, but I had to work incredibly hard to get the lowest quote and it's still not enough. I'm a well-known campaigner in the country and I spent most of the lockdown fighting for the rights of publicans.
"To put it into perspective, it cost £1,000 a month to run the pub when it was closed even when everything was turned off.
"There was a total and complete lack of knowledge during that time. When Rishi Sunak was on the Andrew Marr show he stated that the furlough and support offered to pubs was good enough as the average rent was £16-20k a year. This categorically just isn't true. Having worked with the government for the last 10 years, it's clear they have no idea how publicans work and no concept of how the business operates.
"Outside of London, on average it's around £54k and within London, it's closer to £110k. That just goes to show how out of touch the people at the top are. Financial support and grants went straight in and straight out.
"I knew the bill would go through the roof but you really have no idea until it comes through and hits you. From our expectations we thought it would go to about double and yet it's gone way past that."
Dave told us that his bill has gone up from £1,500 to around £6,000.
"It's completely unsustainable. We're lucky I've been here for 10 years so we have a fair rent, however not all pubs have that luxury.
"We came out of lockdown in a vast amount of debt, so we've had to rely on using bounceback loans and now we're hit with this. We're lucky that our gas isn't changing for another 18 months but some people will be hit with all the factors at once and will have no choice but to close.
"People aren't coming out as they are having the exact same financial struggles at home and so how do they expect the hospitality industry to carry on? This pub, like many others, is such an important space for the community. It's the hub of the village and has a fantastic success story. People have told me that they moved to the village and the pub has been one of the factors in moving, so it really does affect the whole area.
When asking Dave about what he's done to help tackle the costs, he said: "We are having to make sensible business changes, in terms of management of our energy consumption. We're also talking about stopping food between 3pm and 6pm so that we can switch off the equipment, but heating it up uses the same as having it on for three hours so we're still trying to work it out.
"We've changed as many switches as we can in the pub to be timed switches and we've had to take things off the menu like paninis and other grilled products so that we don't have that machine running. Anything we can do to lower our electricity is being considered. These are changes we've implemented over the last six months and they've barely made a dent."
"I asked Dave if there are any drastic measures he's considered and he said: "As a final last resort and I can't stress enough that it's a last resort for us, we'd have to put upwards of 20p a pint, and £1 for food. Usually, pint prices increase by three to four pence over a huge period of time, and now publicans are being forced to charge almost a fiver. A fiver for a pint! I wouldn't even expect that in London, it's just not sustainable. Who would pay for that?!
"I've been the owner for 10 years and this pub opened in 1772, it's vital to the community."
I asked Dave what he would want to be announced tomorrow and he said: "Realistically, an immediate reduction of VAT to 5% as a minimum, financial support in the form of grants to get people through the current crisis and some form of a cash injection.
"I had £4,500 worth of credit in Scottish Power and they kept it for three-and-a-half months to 'give them time to close the account' how do you expect me to run a business with a phone stuck to my ear for an hour and a half."

Hey everyone and happy Friday! It’s been an interesting week in football for many of reasons. The return of European competitions, managerial changes at Leipzig and Chelsea, and rumors that the Premier League may be suspended following the death of Queen Elizabeth II all made headlines this week. Dortmund, however, have managed to avoid making global headlines while still being in their own realm of bizarre.
That’s right, Dortmund joined in on the wacky happenings earlier this week as Norbert ‘Nobby’ Dickel, the club’s stadium announcer, was hospitalized following a barbeque incident. Following in the age-old Dortmund tradition of finding ways to get injured, According to RN, flames erupted across Dickel’s grill (not how they’re supposed to) and burned his shins. Nobby missed Dortmund’s Champions League match against Copenhagen, and it looks like he is going to miss the Leipzig match tomorrow. Fortunately, it appears Dickel is okay despite a slight reprieve from media duties. I know I speak for everyone here at Fear the Wall when I say; Get well soon Nobby!
That being said, if this isn’t foreshadowing Dortmund’s season going up in flames or the team starting a hot streak, I don’t really know football anymore.
Apart from Barbeque related injuries we have... more injuries! It was reported this week that Mahmoud Dahoud and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens will both miss the first half of the season. As the world’s biggest Mahmoud Dahoud fan, I am inconsolable so please give me some room to cry. Shorter-term injuries include Thorgan Hazard, who is set to miss tomorrow’s game against Leipzig and the potential absence of Gregor Kobel who missed the team’s first Champions League game of the season. Fortunately, Karim Adeyemi and Donyell Malen could travel with the team to Leipzig tomorrow as they recover from their injuries.
The Links
- Newly appointed Leipzig coach, Marco Rose, took a moment to praise Dortmund’s form going into his debut match tomorrow. He also mentioned how there will be some familiar faces. Which, I’m sure, will be all we hear from the Bundesliga commentators throughout the match.
- The Europa League and the Conference League both began yesterday. Notable ties in the Europa League include: Roma’s loss to Ludogoretz Razgrad, Manchester United’s loss to Real Sociedad, Union Berlin’s loss to Union St. Gilloise, and Freiburg’s victory vs Qarabag FK.
- Finally, I think I’m going to start a tradition of recommending one of my peer’s works for my Daily Bees. I know a lot of the readers here at Fear the Wall don’t have time to read every article so I’ll try and recommend an interesting article of the past week! My debut recommendation is going to be Sarah M Sekac’s “In Review: BVB Fall Fashion”. Very fun article that showcases some of the cool goodies Dortmund are selling right now. It’s a perfect guide if you’re interested in buying some merch! You can check it out here.
The Daily Buzz
What is the wackiest way you, or someone you know, has ended up injured? I once threw a lacrosse ball at a kid and he couldn't see out of his right eye for a couple hours. Woops

NCA clarifies principles surrounding sustainability communication following Higg debacle
13 hours ago
The Norwegian Consumer Authority (NCA) has confirmed that it is working with international counterparts to gather information on how sustainability could best be communicated on consumer-facing garment labels, according to the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC).
The news comes as the NCA and SAC confirmed they were working together to find a way forward after a report published by the Norwegian consumer watchdog back in June alleged its services, such as its Higg scores, were misleading consumers with faulty sustainability claims.
In a new statement, Higg, a SAC arm focused on software for eco assessments, said it was pleased to see the NCA “working with other global consumer authorities to align on a set of key principles to help drive a harmonised and clear approach to communicating environmental claims”.
The organisation also added that it welcomed NCA’s clarification that there is not a ban on using digital averages in marketing, while the duo also were said to have agreed that businesses needed to address proper qualifications when making certain claims.
It noted that the recent pause in its transparency pilot programme, which the NCA said had broken guidelines under Norway’s Marketing Control Act, has not affected business use of the Higg Index tools hosted on its platform.
Higg added: “It is only through collaboration that solutions for consistent consumer-facing environmental information will be achieved. The joint effort between the SAC and the NCA is a powerful example of how stakeholders can come together to proactively address the impacts of climate change.”

U.S., Trump team propose names for arbiter in Mar-a-Lago probe
The U.S. Justice Department and Donald Trump's legal team proposed candidates Friday for the role of an independent arbiter in the investigation into top-secret documents found at the former president's Florida home, but the two sides differed on the scope of duties the person would have.
Lawyers for Trump said they believe the so-called special master should review all documents seized by the FBI during its search last month of Mar-a-Lago, including records with classification markings, and filter out any that may be protected by claims of executive privilege.
The Justice Department said it does not believe the arbiter should be permitted to inspect classified records or to take into account potential claims of executive privilege.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had given both sides until Friday to submit potential candidates for the role of a special master, as well as proposals for the scope of the person's duties and the schedule for his or her work.
The Justice Department submitted the names of two retired judges - Barbara Jones, who served on the federal bench in Manhattan and performed the same role in prior high-profile investigations, and Thomas Griffith, a former federal appeals court jurist in the District of Columbia.
The Trump team proposed one retired judge, Raymond Dearie - also the former top federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York - and prominent Florida lawyer Paul Huck Jr.
The back-and-forth over the special master is playing out amid an FBI investigation into the retention of several hundred classified documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago within the past year. Though the legal wrangling is unlikely to have major long-term effects on the criminal investigation or knock it significantly off course, it will almost certainly delay it and has already caused the intelligence community to temporarily pause a national risk assessment.
Over the strenuous objections of the Justice Department, Cannon on Monday granted the Trump team's request for the special master and directed the department to temporarily halt its review of records for investigative purposes.
She said the person would be responsible for sifting through the records recovered during the Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago and filtering out any documents potentially covered by claims of attorney-client or executive privilege.
Roughly 11,000 documents - including more than 100 with classified markings, some at the top-secret level - were recovered during the search. That's on top of classified documents contained in 15 boxes retrieved in January by the National Archives and Records Administration, and additional sensitive government records the department took back during a June visit to Mar-a-Lago.
The Justice Department had objected to the Trump team's request for a special master, saying it had already completed its own review in which identified a limited subset of records that possibly involve attorney-client privilege. It has maintained that executive privilege does not apply in this investigation because Trump, no longer president, had no right to claim the documents as his.
The department on Thursday filed a notice of appeal indicating that it would contest the judge's order to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. Officials asked the judge to lift her hold on their investigative work pending their appeal, as well as her requirement that the department share with a special master the classified records that were recovered.
It is not clear whether Trump or anyone else will be charged.

NEW YORK (AP) — Getting to a Grand Slam final is no longer new to Ons Jabeur. She figures it’s time to add a major trophy to her list of groundbreaking accomplishments.
And she’s sure she is more ready to do it at the U.S. Open than she was at Wimbledon two months ago.
Jabeur reached a second consecutive Slam title match without needing to produce her best tennis Thursday night, taking full advantage of a shaky showing by Caroline Garcia to win their semifinal at Flushing Meadows 6-1, 6-3.
“Feels more real, to be honest with you, just to be in the final again. At Wimbledon, I was kind of just living the dream, and I couldn’t believe it,” Jabeur said after ending No. 17 Garcia’s 13-match winning streak, which included a victory over Coco Gauff. “Now maybe I know what to do.”
On Saturday, with a championship on the line, Jabeur will go up against No. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek, who grabbed the last four games, and 16 of the last 20 points, to come back and beat No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.
The first step for Swiatek to turn things around came when she headed to the locker room after the first set — to use the bathroom and think about what to adjust on court.
“I needed to get it together,” said Swiatek, a 21-year-old from Poland who already owns two trophies from the French Open’s red clay, including one this June, but never had been past the fourth round on New York’s hard courts.
Sabalenka, meanwhile, dropped to 0-3 in Slam semifinals for her career and 12-11 in three-setters this year. She broke for a 4-2 lead in the third set — and 17 minutes later, it was over, as Swiatek surged to the finish.
“She was just going for it,” said Sabalenka, who wore large blue mirrored sunglasses and a black cap pulled low to her news conference. “She was hitting every ball and putting me under pressure and playing really aggressively.”
Swiatek has emerged as a dominant figure in women’s tennis, with a 37-match winning streak that brought her six titles in one stretch. If she can defeat Jabeur, Swiatek will become the first woman since Angelique Kerber in 2016 to win two majors in one season.
The No. 5-seeded Jabeur, a 28-year-old from Tunisia, was the runner-up at the All England Club in July and now will be the first African woman to participate in a final at the U.S. Open in the professional era, which dates to 1968.
“After Wimbledon, (there was) a lot of pressure on me,” Jabeur said following a win that took barely more than an hour, “and I’m really relieved that I can back up my results.”
The men’s semifinals are Friday: No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain vs. No. 22 Frances Tiafoe of the United States, and No. 5 Casper Ruud of Norway vs. No. 27 Karen Khachanov of Russia.
With four-time major champion Arantxa Sánchez Vicario in her guest box — they traded thumbs-up signals at match’s end — Jabeur improved to 6-0 in semifinals this season and earned her tour-leading 92nd victory in all since the start of 2021. No. 91 came when she defeated Ajla Tomljanovic, who eliminated Serena Williams in the third round.
To Jabeur’s surprise, and delight, she heard Tuesday’s victory over Tomljanovic on Tuesday was drawing viewers back home, even though it there also was a Champions League game between Juventus and Paris St. Germain on TV.
“In Tunisia, it’s all about soccer,” she said. “But people were not watching (that) game, they were watching my game, which is impressive to me.”
Just one example of how she is changing views about tennis in her country — and on a continent.
Since pro players were first admitted to major tennis tournaments, never had an African woman or Arab woman been to a Slam final until she did that at the All England Club before losing to Elena Rybakina.
At the 2020 Australian Open, she became the first Arab woman to reach the quarterfinals at a major. Last year, she was the first Arab player to break into the top 10 of the men’s or women’s rankings and first with a WTA title.
“Definitely saying out loud what I want to do is part of me achieving things,” said Jabeur, who dropped to her knees and let out a yell when Thursday’s semifinal ended, then layed on her back.
“I’m sure it’s a lot of pressure on her shoulders,” said Garcia, a 28-year-old from France. “But she looks like to be managing it really well.”
On this 75-degree (24 Celsius) evening under the lights in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Jabeur finished with 21 winners — after one was aided by a fortuitous net cord, Jabeur put up a hand to apologize, then blew a kiss to the sky — and just 15 unforced errors.
She delivered eight aces. She went 4 for 4 on break chances and didn’t face any.
After a moment of silence to commemorate the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Garcia won the coin toss and chose to serve. She got broken right away, thanks to four mistakes. Most concerning and perhaps most reflective of nerves Garcia later acknowledged were there: She dumped what should have been an easy put-away volley into the bottom of the net.
It was a rather inauspicious start for Garcia, who hadn’t lost a set on the way to her debut in a Slam semifinal.
“Mentally,” said Jabeur, who travels with a sports psychologist, “I was so ready.”
She plans to be again on Saturday. Swiatek will stand in the way.

Fonterra Boosts Earnings Outlook as Protein, Cheese Prices Rise
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Fonterra Cooperative Group, the world’s biggest dairy exporter, raised its earnings forecast on the basis of higher prices for cheese and protein products.
The Auckland-based company now sees normalized earnings in the year ending July 2023 of 45-60 New Zealand cents a share, up from an earlier projection of 30-45 cents, it said in a statement Friday. Last month, Fonterra said 2021-22 earnings per share would be at the top end of its 25-35 cents guidance range.
“The demand signals we saw at the end of FY22 have continued driving improved prices and higher margins across our portfolio of non-reference products, particularly in cheese and our protein products such as casein,” said Chief Executive Officer Miles Hurrell. “Strong offshore prices for protein, as reflected in the recent increase in EU and US milk prices, mean our protein portfolio has been performing very well.”
Fonterra has faced a sustained decline in the price of its core product whole milk powder, which has fallen 21% in the past six months. Last month, the cooperative lowered the forecast for the milk price that it pays its farmers to reflect that decline.
Still, a “sustained period” of favorable pricing relativities between protein and cheese portfolios and whole milk powder was the main driver of the earnings revision, Hurrell said. “If these unprecedented conditions were to continue for a further extended period this could have an additional positive impact on forecast earnings.”

Dupixent® (dupilumab) Late-breaking Phase 3 Data at the EADV 2022 Congress Showed Significant Improvements in Signs and Symptoms of Prurigo Nodularis
Nearly three times as many Dupixent patients experienced clinically meaningful reductions in itch and skin lesions at 24 weeks compared to placebo
There are currently no approved medicines specifically indicated to treat prurigo nodularis; regulatory submissions for Dupixent are under Priority Review in the U.S. and under review in the European Union
22 Dupixent abstracts are being presented at the EADV 2022 Congress across four dermatological diseases with underlying type 2 inflammation
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today presented detailed positive results from the second of two Phase 3 trials (PRIME) evaluating Dupixent® (dupilumab) in adults with uncontrolled prurigo nodularis in a late-breaking session at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) 2022 Congress. These data, which were consistent with the detailed data from the first Phase 3 trial (PRIME2) in prurigo nodularis, show Dupixent significantly reduced itch and skin lesions at 24 weeks.
In total, 22 scientific abstracts are being presented at the EADV 2022 Congress discussing Dupixent in atopic dermatitis in patients as young as six months, and its investigational use in chronic spontaneous urticaria and bullous pemphigoid, in addition to prurigo nodularis.
"These positive results from the second of two dupilumab Phase 3 trials in prurigo nodularis confirm inhibiting IL-4 and IL-13 can significantly reduce the unrelenting itch and extensive severe skin lesions that often impair patient quality of life," said Gil Yosipovitch, M.D., Professor of Dermatology at the Miller School of Medicine at University of Miami, Director of the Miami Itch Center and principal investigator of the trial. "In my practice, relieving itch and clearing skin are often the top priorities for my patients across a range of chronic skin diseases. These data demonstrate dupilumab has the potential to address and manage these debilitating symptoms in another chronic skin disease with underlying type 2 inflammation."
The late-breaking data presented at the EADV 2022 Congress are from the randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 PRIME trial, which met its primary and key secondary endpoints. At 24 weeks, among patients treated with Dupixent in the trial:
- More than three times as many (60%) experienced a clinically meaningful reduction in itch from baseline, the primary endpoint, compared to placebo patients (18%; p<0.0001).
- Nearly three times as many (48%) achieved clear or almost clear skin, a key secondary endpoint, compared to placebo patients (18%; p=0.0004).
The safety results of the trial were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved dermatological indication. For the 24-week treatment period, overall rates of adverse events (AEs) were 71% for Dupixent and 63% for placebo. AEs most commonly observed with Dupixent (≥5%) included nasopharyngitis (5% Dupixent, 4% placebo) and headache (5% Dupixent, 5% placebo). The rate of treatment discontinuation due to AEs prior to week 24 was 0% for Dupixent compared to 4% for placebo. A numerically lower rate of skin infections was observed with Dupixent (4% Dupixent, 9% placebo).
Results from this and an earlier Phase 3 trial, PRIME2, will form the basis of regulatory submissions around the world for Dupixent in prurigo nodularis this year. Regulatory submissions are already under review by the European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with the FDA granting Priority Review in May 2022 and a target action date of September 30, 2022.
The potential uses of Dupixent in prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria and bullous pemphigoid are currently under clinical development, and the safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
About Prurigo Nodularis
People with prurigo nodularis experience intense, persistent itch, with thick skin lesions (called nodules) that can cover most of the body. Prurigo nodularis is often described as painful with burning, stinging and tingling of the skin. The impact of uncontrolled prurigo nodularis on quality of life is one of the highest among inflammatory skin diseases due to the extreme itch and comparable to other debilitating chronic diseases that can negatively affect mental health, activities of daily living and social interactions. High-potency topical steroids are commonly prescribed but are associated with safety risks if used long-term.
About the Trial
PRIME, part of the LIBERTY-PN PRIME clinical program, was a randomized, Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of Dupixent in 151 adults with uncontrolled prurigo nodularis. These included patients who were inadequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or for whom those therapies were not advisable. During the 24-week treatment period, patients received Dupixent or placebo every two weeks with or without topical treatments (low- or medium-dose topical corticosteroids or topical calcineurin inhibitors were continued if patients were using these treatments at randomization).
The primary endpoint evaluated the proportion of patients with clinically meaningful improvement in itch at 24 weeks (measured by a ≥4-point reduction in Worst-Itch Numeric Rating Scale [WI-NRS] of 0-10). A key secondary endpoint was the proportion of patients with clear or almost clear skin at 24 weeks (measured by a score of 0 or 1 on the Investigator's Global Assessment PN-Stage [IGA PN-S] 0-4 scale).
About Dupixent
Dupixent, which was invented using Regeneron's proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. These diseases include approved indications for Dupixent such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), as well as investigational diseases such as prurigo nodularis.
Dupixent has received regulatory approvals around the world for use in certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP or EoE in different age populations. Dupixent is currently approved across these indications in the U.S. and for one or more of these indications in more than 60 countries, including in the European Union and Japan. More than 500,000 patients have been treated with Dupixent globally.
About Regeneron's VelocImmune Technology
Regeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create approximately one in five of all original, FDA-approved or authorized fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab), Dupixent, Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) and Inmazeb™ (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn).
Dupilumab Development Program
Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.
In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including prurigo nodularis, pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis, hand and foot atopic dermatitis, chronic inducible urticaria-cold, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic pruritis of unknown origin, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with evidence of type 2 inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and bullous pemphigoid. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
U.S. Indications
DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:
- to treat adults and children 6 months of age and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with atopic dermatitis under 6 months of age.
- with other asthma medicines for the maintenance treatment of moderate-to-severe eosinophilic or oral steroid dependent asthma in adults and children 6 years of age and older whose asthma is not controlled with their current asthma medicines. DUPIXENT helps prevent severe asthma attacks (exacerbations) and can improve your breathing. DUPIXENT may also help reduce the amount of oral corticosteroids you need while preventing severe asthma attacks and improving your breathing. DUPIXENT is not used to treat sudden breathing problems. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with asthma under 6 years of age.
- with other medicines for the maintenance treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) in adults whose disease is not controlled. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis under 18 years of age.
- to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older, who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg), with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with eosinophilic esophagitis under 12 years of age and who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg).

Especially tell your healthcare provider if you are taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines; have asthma and use an asthma medicine; or have atopic dermatitis, CRSwNP, or EoE, and also have asthma. Do not change or stop your corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine without talking to your healthcare provider. This may cause other symptoms that were controlled by the corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine to come back.
DUPIXENT can cause serious side effects, including:
- Allergic reactions. DUPIXENT can cause allergic reactions that can sometimes be severe. Stop using DUPIXENT and tell your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms: breathing problems or wheezing, swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat, fainting, dizziness, feeling lightheaded, fast pulse, fever, hives, joint pain, general ill feeling, itching, skin rash, swollen lymph nodes, nausea or vomiting, or cramps in your stomach-area.
- Eye problems. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any new or worsening eye problems, including eye pain or changes in vision, such as blurred vision. Your healthcare provider may send you to an ophthalmologist for an exam if needed.
- Inflammation of your blood vessels. Rarely, this can happen in people with asthma who receive DUPIXENT. This may happen in people who also take a steroid medicine by mouth that is being stopped or the dose is being lowered. It is not known whether this is caused by DUPIXENT. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have: rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of your arms or legs, or persistent fever.
- Joint aches and pain. Some people who use DUPIXENT have had trouble walking or moving due to their joint symptoms, and in some cases needed to be hospitalized. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or worsening joint symptoms. Your healthcare provider may stop DUPIXENT if you develop joint symptoms.
The most common side effects include:
- Atopic dermatitis: injection site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling, and itching, sometimes with blurred vision, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia).
- Asthma: injection site reactions, pain in the throat (oropharyngeal pain), high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), and parasitic (helminth) infections.
- Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis: injection site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling, and itching, sometimes with blurred vision, high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), trouble sleeping (insomnia), toothache, gastritis, and joint pain (arthralgia).
- Eosinophilic esophagitis: injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and joint pain (arthralgia).
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the possible side effects of DUPIXENT. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Use DUPIXENT exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It's an injection given under the skin (subcutaneous injection). Your healthcare provider will decide if you or your caregiver can inject DUPIXENT. Do not try to prepare and inject DUPIXENT until you or your caregiver have been trained by your healthcare provider. In children 12 years of age and older, it's recommended DUPIXENT be administered by or under supervision of an adult. In children under 12 years of age, DUPIXENT should be given by a caregiver.

Another early season 300 was rolled when Henry Jackson rolled the 8th 300 game of his career. He accomplished the feat in the Wednesday Night Miller Lite Classic League that competes at 10 Pin Alley. Jackson’s scores were 192, 300, and 189 for 681.
• Some of our local bowlers do leave the area and participate on shots that are not the typical house patterns. Tyrel Rose, former head coach for Team Canada and a 20-year bowling coach at all levels of the game had an interesting article in “Bowling This Month” concerning playing this condition. Let’s paraphrase the article.
When you warm up on medium oil sport patterns, you might discover it plays like a local house shot — with just the right amount of hook and ample hold area in the middle. But you might be surprised to see that change rather quickly.
That usually poses a problem because there is no specific plan for playing a condition that has so much impending change. What Rose’s article attempts to do is give you some ideas on how to play this shot.
The general confusion of lane play usually occurs on medium sport oil patterns. And, it happens to bowlers of every ability. When bowlers see a medium sport pattern that hooks, they go to the inside. When their ball skids too much, they move outside.
That may not be the correct approach to playing this pattern, and it comes down to instincts. Permit me to explain. Longer sport patterns have less friction the shorter patterns, so we usually play them from farther inside than shorter patterns.
The shorter the sport pattern, the more friction we are going to encounter, and the more probable it is that we play further outside. So, why do bowlers do the opposite on medium oil sports patterns? Probably because of our experience on playing house shots.
But a medium oil sport shot is not the same as a medium oil house shot. When you move inside on a freshly oil medium sport shot, your ball will hook more, not less, and you might make some bad decisions, either in physical moves or ball selection.
On fresh oil sport patterns, the more friction you see, the more you should consider moving outside, instead of inside. and on fresh medium short oil patterns that tend to have more oil than you expected, consider a move to the inside.
Please keep in mind, the above approach only relates to a fresh segment of a block. Most of us know that when lanes break down, you will usually find additional oil on the inside where things are more apt to remain fresh. But all of this hinges on how the rest of the bowlers are playing the condition.
So, what type of physical adjustments might you have to make with your game when playing the medium oil sport pattern? Once again, we get the “be influenced by” answer.
Higher friction situations will lean toward the similar changes you would make on shorter patterns, like more ball speed, and not as much axis rotation to begin, and then making changes from that point.
On medium sport patterns that aren’t hooking as much, you could probably go with a little less ball speed and more axis rotation to begin with. But, as far as playing the lane, you still want to make every attempt to stay straight at least for the first part of the block. Once again, that depends on the lane reaction.
But, the best way to begin playing the condition is what most of us simply do. Start with everything you usually do and then make your changes from there.
It’s always a good idea to familiarize yourself with factors like oil ratio, volume, taper, and oil. Let’s begin with ratio.
Once again, we need to follow a general rule on ratio; lower ratios usually indicate that playing straight is best, and in most cases, scores are going to be lower than expected. This same thinking should be applied to medium sport patterns.
The flatter a medium sport pattern is, the more it will hook when you move inside. If you see friction and move inside, a 5:1 pattern might permit you to get away with it. But a 2:1 pattern almost surely won’t.
The less the ration of the pattern, the more possible it is that you will need to control the breakpoint. So, with that in mind, additional forward roll is definitely a good suggestion.
The amount of oil in a medium pattern in one of the issues that influence how much friction you really sense. Higher volume patterns tend to provide more and permit you to play farther inside. But this isn’t the case all the time.
As a note, higher volume patterns are likely to change your ball selections to those that hook more. This will give you an earlier grip on the lanes to battle to oil.
We will continue this discussion next week.

Imet Kelly de Schaun a year or so before I began working at the Park Board. We were both members of the Galveston Rotary Club. During my first days at the organization, I was involved in an ambitious project she undertook — the building of Babe’s Beach. Needless to say, I saw her as a visionary and a game-changer for Galveston.
During her ten-year tenure, not only has she extended the beaches but she has established a workforce development program aimed at attracting young workers to careers in the tourism industry, advocated for increased arts funding and invested in environmental initiatives in partnership with local conservation organizations. And, she provided deliberate and thoughtful leadership to the Park Board during a worldwide pandemic.

GLIDE n°: FL-2022-000271-NGA
Summary of major revisions made to emergency plan of action:
This operation was launched on 28 July, for CHF 138,230 to support early action within 2 months for forecasted floods. Based on National Meteorological Agencies (NiMet), the National Society (NS) has prioritized 15 LGAs in the 5 states of Anambra, Cross River, Kebbi, Kogi and Ondo, to reach an overall 35,000 people ahead of the floods peak season.
The operational update follows change in nature of the situation which now includes floods incidence in Jigawa and Cross River and updated forecast from NiMet showing projections of normal to below normal rainfall in the previous areas initially identified. Only Jigawa and Kebbi will experience above normal of rainfall, thus more likely to experience important floods even if flash floods risk remains possible in other areas. Indeed, this requires extension of surveillance in Kebbi until the end of the rainy season in most at risk LGA.
The changes below are included:
• Revision of geographical scope of the operation to include Jigawa State for the response while removing Ondo, Anambra, Kogi State that was initially targeted. Also, to include Kebbi state which is reported to have an increased level of rainfall with above normal rainfall.
• Overall target population is revised from 35,000 people to 18,000 people (6,000 in each state) on which 6,000 will benefit of unconditional cash assistance from Jigawa and Cross River most vulnerable.
• Strategy revised as follow:
-
Continue with NS EFAT training sessions and alert messages to the communities to ensure readiness in Kebbi.
-
Provide unconditional cash to 1,000 households (6,000 people) in Jigawa and Cross River while an overall 12,000 people will benefit from hygiene and health services: awareness campaign, sanitation activities, health/wash promotion engaging communities to 12,000 people in the two states.
• A budget increase from CHF 138,230 to CHF 245,622 to reflect the above strategy adjustments.
• To allow sufficient time to implement proposed response actions, the timeframe for this operation is extended from 2 to 5 months ending in December 2022.
A. SITUATION ANALYSIS
Projections from July to August were showing, heavy and enhanced rain forecast over the majority of West Africa. This corroborates earlier forecast issued by the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), which in its Annual Flood Outlook (AFO), for the 2022 rainy season. This annual report predicted that 233 Local Government Areas (LGAs) with the Highly Probable Flood Risk States are Adamawa, Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, CrossRiver, Delta, Eboyin, Ekiti, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa and Kaduna, others are, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba and Yobe, as well as Zamfara and FCT.
Since 20 June 2022, abundant rain fall was recorded over localized areas in southern Nigeria, with total amount of rains exceeding 100mm per day. Currently, more flash floods are jeopardized and general alerts are for the moment in yellow alert with a close monitoring of meteorological expert issuing frequent alerts since. Some floods were already recorded starting from June to early July in some parts of the area at risk, mainly in Northern localities and urban areas. Floods calendar and projections of flooding based on NIHSA, NiMet monthly climate and IFRC/NRCS risk Watch report can be divided as follows for the ongoing rainy season:
• April 2022 – following the annual outlook, rainfall starts in the country, with risk more in southern and east regions. Floods are usually expected to be high in terms of impact on the population from less to Worst (North to South part of the country). Incidence in Agriculture, livelihood and livestock and Infrastructure and the Environment; parts of 57 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the Country fall within Highly Probable risks areas in the months of April-May.
• 13 May 2022 – The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, (NIHSA) published a media alert on their official website the forecast of highly probable flood risk areas. 223 local government areas (LGAs) concerned in 32 states of the Federation and FCT.
• May to 20 June 2022 – Rains progressively spread in North-eastern regions with different levels of rainfall. Based on past rainy season scenario and 2022 outlook, National society intensify the monitoring in the most atrisk areas; starting of close monitoring with National branches and meteorological report; information is crosschecked and shared with the IFRC Risk Watch. Some isolated minor flooding cases are recorded, mainly floods in urban areas. Some link to alerts here for Flash floods in Lagos and Yobe states.
• Early July 2022 – the July Monthly report and forecast is issued by NiMet on 24 July, experts (NiMeT), confirmed alerts from NS branches, international actors and IFRC Risk Watch.
• 28 July 2022 – DREF allocation is granted for CHF 138,230 to enhance NS readiness capacity and start early warning messages and actions to mitigate the highest floods impact generally recorded from August to October. The operation covers LGAs in Ondo (Ondo West, Akura and Ilaje LGAs), Kogi (Kogi, Inaji and Lokoja LGAs), Kebbi (Jega, Birnin Kebbi and Suru LGAs), Anambra (Ogbaru, Anambra West and Ayamelum LGAs) and Cross River (Boki, Ikom and Etangg LGAs).
• 1 - 21 August 2022 – NS starts mobilisation of branches and ensure regular alert diffusions and early warning messages through volunteers based on daily NiMET bulletin. As forecasted, The high flooding period started with successive floods recorded in some states. Most recent in Jigawa and Cross River States.
On 14 August, flood levels in some LGAs at Jigawa State reached the red alert levels due to the intensity of the torrential rainfall and caused flooding in Jigawa State affecting around 3,563 people, taking shelter in about 11 temporary camps. On 19 August 2022, similarly, Cross River State where six people were feared dead with over 400 houses and 700 farms submerged following a flood that wreaked havoc in 15 Cross River communities. The floods, which occurred because of downpour which lasted for about five hours, took over the affected communities with severe impact on livelihoods, infrastructures, and physical impacts.
This floods incidence was recorded while NRCS was implementing the early actions in the targeted states. Now that floods started, and based on the updated forecasts, the NS is adapting the plan with more response and limit readiness covering early warning conducted and readiness reinforced in Kebbi.
