Texans center Justin Britt will not play this week, coach Lovie Smith said Friday. Britt missed the team's practices ahead of their Sunday game against the Broncos due to personal reasons. Smith did not disclose the reasons that Britt is sidelined with.
The center holds a central role in offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's scheme, splitting pre-snap calls with quarterback Davis Mills. Britt said Tuesday he was "a little out of control" in Houston's regular-season opener against the Colts. The offensive line was often dysfunctional in the franchise's first tie. Key blocks were missed in crucial situations. They surrendered three sacks during the fourth quarter and overtime.
Britt was late on a snap on the first drive of overtime, and he was flagged again for a false start on their final drive. Then, Colts defensive tackle Grover Stewart swam through the line on a pivotal third-and-1 and tackled backup running back Rex Burkhead for a loss of 2 yards, which led Texans coach Lovie Smith to send in the punt team to seal the tie.
“I feel like me personally, I made a couple critical errors,” Britt said. “Sometimes I put more weight on my shoulders than maybe needs to be. But I hold myself to a standard. I like Pep’s offense, and I like our approach, and I like the way the game was called. We, us, me can execute more and definitely put more points up on the board.”
Britt, 31, signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the Texans in the offseason. He was one of 29 players who joined the franchise last season on a one-year contract and one of just four who re-signed on a two-year contract. By extending Britt, defensive tackle Maliek Collins, linebacker Christian Kirksey and defensive back Desmond King, general manager Nick Caserio signaled that they were core players who'd be a part of the rebuilding team's future.
The Texans have two options on the 53-man roster to replace Britt against the Broncos on Sunday. Left guard Justin McCray played center in two games for the Texans last season and totaled 137 snaps at the position. Scott Quessenberry, who signed a one-year, $1.18 million contract in the offseason, played two games at center for the Chargers last season and totaled 114 snaps.
"Just making sure everybody's on the same page," Quessenberry said Thursday. "Can't stress that enough. If something's wrong and we're all on the same page, sometimes things can happen. But better to have it right, obviously. As long as we're all on the same page, we'll be all right."

Faroe Island punk band announce free entry Brighton gig
Yes, that’s correct they do hail from the Faroe Islands, which is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark and located 200 miles north west of Scotland! And yes they will be playing a free of charge fast loud shouty punk set in Brighton! But who are they? Read on…………
Local music promoters Love Thy Neighbour have booked in the rather wonderful Joe & The Sh*tboys. (Yes they do have an “i” in their name) to play at The Hope & Ruin on Sunday 23rd October 2022 as part of the band’s UK tour. They performed at the same venue a year ago – Read our review HERE.
The band have gone down The Ramones names route and thus have declared their personnel as Joe on vocals, Ziggy Sh*t on guitar, Sammy Sh*t on bass guitar and Johnny Sh*t on drums.
Bisexual vegans, Joe & The Sh*tboys, punch with brief and catchy sh*tpunk songs. This band was formed with the intention of calling out sh*tty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands, where the rock scene is filled with boneless homophobes and misogynists, and elsewhere generally.
The shows are full of energy, with the barrage of songs, such as ‘Drugs R’4 Kidz’, ‘Life Is Great You Suck’ and ‘If You Believe in Eating Meat, Start With Your Dog’, being broken up by the flamboyant frontman, Joe, roasting the audience.
After a flurry of hometown shows, including at the Faroese Music Awards where they won Best Group in March 2020, the band found fans among the visiting international press with a funny and fearless performance at their Iceland Airwaves showcase in late 2019, leading to a slot in the converted NME 100 tip list for 2020.
Their super quick ditties can be found on the band’s debut 10 track album ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes’ which was unleashed to an unsuspecting world on 4th November 2020. In fact the album is so short that the guys have crammed it all onto a 7” vinyl disc. There were 150 white vinyl copies released but they are long gone, but the normal black platter is still available – Purchase/listen to the ‘mini’ album HERE.
Grab your free Brighton gig tickets HERE or HERE.

FAIRFAX, Va. — The Virginia Parole Board has denied Sniper Lee Boyd Malvo's parole request while he is serving four life sentences.
On Aug. 30, the board said that they couldn't grant the request, as they consider Malvo a risk to the greater community and that his release at this time would diminish the seriousness of the crime.
"Considering your offense and your constitutional records, the Board concludes that you should serve more of your sentence before being paroled," the board determined.
Malvo was 18 years old when he was convicted for his participation in the sniper spree, alongside John Allen Muhammad, that terrorized the D.C. area. The pair killed 10 people and wounded three. Others were also killed during their travel from Washington state to the D.C. region.
Malvo was then sentenced to multiple life terms after he pleaded guilty to killing six people in Montgomery County in Oct. 2002.
Muhammad was executed in 2009 for the crimes.
Since Malvo was 17 at the time of the incident, under Maryland law, a sentence for a juvenile offender does not permit a sentence of life without parole when convicted of homicide if the sentencing court determines that the offender’s crime was the result of transient immaturity, as opposed to permanent incorrigibility.
Just weeks ago, Maryland's high court requested a resentencing for Malvo to be tried as a juvenile offender. Oral arguments for the request for either sentencing relief or release were held in February of this year, almost 20 years after the original conviction.
The request came after the Juvenile Restoration Act (JUVRA) was signed into law just a few months prior. Under the act, a juvenile offender who was convicted as an adult and serving a sentence that was imposed before Oct. 1, 2021, may file a motion for reduction after serving 20 years of the sentence.
According to a court document, the defendant is entitled to be resentenced to ensure compliance with the U.S. Constitution's Eighth Amendment.
The resentencing will remain within the discretion of the sentencing court for Malvo. Currently, no information has been released as to when the Supreme Court resentencing will begin.

Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi and Lala Kent have had an interesting, up-and-down relationship over the years. They seemed like friends at first, with GG even making a cameo appearance on Vanderpump Rules. However, as Lala’s split from Randall Emmett began dominating the headlines, the Shahs of Sunset star started weighing in, and her opinion about the situation was less than supportive. Eventually, the two unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Ultimately, GG disapproved of how Lala publicly handled her split from Randall. She wrote on Instagram last year, “If someone (Randall) is being their authentic-self and it’s all being referred to as “red flags,” why does the person (Lala) wait until they’ve experienced so many of these ‘red flags’ before they walk away?” GG continued, “Just saying… Walk away and stop complaining unless you’re ready to take accountability for choosing to stay after the first ‘red flag’ because all of this press/media sh*t ain’t cute when it’s about the father of your child.”
In response, Lala called GG’s criticism “inappropriate,” and during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she questioned why GG was commenting on the situation in the first place. Lala said, “I just thought as someone who is a single mom that you would take a pause and have compassion. I just thought after that I don’t need the negativity.”
Despite the months-long back and forth in the headlines and on social media, the two Bravolebrities are now back on good terms. Or, at least, it seems that way. Radar Online caught up with them in Beverly Hills at the 17th annual Summer Spectacular event held by The Brent Shapiro Foundation, where Lala was given the “Spirit of Sobriety Award” to celebrate her recovery journey. GG was in attendance, and she had nothing but nice things to say about her frenemy Lala.
“My first time meeting Lala was in 2019 at BravoCon in NY. We were on a panel together for badass women and backstage we started talking about her mission to sobriety and how she’s sober and I was really commending her for all of her strength,” GG told the outlet.
“Fast-forward three years later, and she’s in the depths of a custody situation — being cheated on, being hurt, being schemed, being lied to — and she remains sober,” she continued. “No matter what anyone wants to say about anyone’s character, when you see that, you have to give them respect.”
So, it sounds like GG has recovered some of her respect for Lala. The only thing left to do now is for them to refollow each other on Instagram; then, this friendship will be back in full swing.
TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED TO HEAR GG PRAISING LALA? DO YOU THINK THE TWO WILL REMAIN ON GOOD TERMS?

Genshin Impact, the bazillion-selling mobile action-RPG, is looking to get its own animated show. And it’s coming from the artist wizards at ufotable.
I am not going to pretend to be an expert in Genshin Impact for you right now. Sisi is currently indisposed, and so I am ruining their reputation, their life even, by leaping in and posting this news. In my defence, they’re currently incapable of writing because of all the screaming and running around the room, bumping into things, laughing, crying, and then screaming again. Here’s why:
My bizarre, eternal loop with Genshin Impact is to install it, intend to get started playing it, then get distracted by a bee and forget for a few weeks, notice this massive install folder on my SSD and decide I need that space back, and then think, “I really should play Genshin Impact.”
Watching the concept trailer for the new anime, I’m inspired to get going even more. I want to have all the knowledge in place to be able to enjoy watching something this beautiful. I mean, goodness gracious, look at it!
So yes, this is a concept trailer, rather than a network pitch, or teaser of an already in-production show. However, it has been released to announce the long-term collaboration plans between HoYoverse and ufotable (which both need a lesson in capitalisation), and it’s fair to say this’ll be their goal, given that’s what ufotable does. They are, after all, the studio behind anime for Demon Slayer and Fate.
This was announced during HoYoverse’s outpouring of new information for Genshin Impact’s Version 3.1 Special Programme, which you can keep up with here.
Right, sorry, I’ve got to find the long-handled broom so I can get Sisi back down from the ceiling. They’re shouting something about “I’M DISGUSTED AT HOW COOL SCARAMOUCHE IS IN THIS TRAILER. WHAT THE HECK. STOP MAKING ME TRYING TO LIKE THIS PINT SIZED LOSER BECAUSE IT’S WORKING!” I don’t know what any of it means.

Victoria Hall murder: Suffolk Police praise family's 'dignity'
- Published
Police investigating the unsolved murder of a 17-year-old girl in 1999 have praised her family's "dignity".
Victoria Hall went missing while walking home from a Felixstowe nightclub on 19 September. Her body was found five days later, some 25 miles away.
Suffolk Police said her family had continued to be patient and have offered their full support.
The cold case was "continuing to make significant progress", the force added.
Last year, a man was arrested on suspicion of murder he remained under investigation.
Twenty five officers and police staff were currently working full time on the case, which was reopened in 2019.
Victoria was last seen alive in the early hours of 19 September on High Road, Trimley St Mary - the village where she lived near Felixstowe.
That evening she had been to the Bandbox nightclub on Bent Hill, Felixstowe, with a friend.
They left at 01:00 BST and parted at 02:20 near the junction of High Road and Faulkeners Way - just yards from Victoria's home.
Later that morning, her parents discovered she had not returned and contacted police.
On 24 September, Victoria's naked body was found by a dog walker in a water-filled ditch off Creeting Lane, Creeting St Peter - about 25 miles (40km) away from where she was last seen.
Det Ch Sup Andy Smith, the senior investigating officer, said the team was working "extremely hard and we are making good progress".
He said the "complex and methodical work" took time.
"Victoria's family continue to be patient with us and offer their full support, which we are extremely grateful for," he said.
"Their dignity is truly humbling and we are determined to do everything we can to obtain justice for them."
He appealed for anyone with fresh information to come forward.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colo. — The pandemic caused a lot of teacher burnout, but there’s another factor fueling the teacher shortage that isn’t going away: housing prices. In many communities, housing is forcing educators to leave jobs they love because they can’t afford a place to live.
Research by the National Education Association found, with inflation, teachers are making about $2,150 less today than they did 10 years ago, so rather than sit around and watch teachers leave their cities, families are now opening their doors to educators to give them a place to live.
Math teacher Brian Trommater just started teaching this year and he found a school he loved quickly, but finding housing was a different story.
Before he found his current rental, a one-bedroom cottage, he was living in a hotel. He said he had no idea where he would live long-term.
“It got kind of funny when like my principal was like, ‘Hey, you know, you can maybe like sleep at the school or something for a little bit,” said Trommater.
Trommater snapped up his place about an hour after it was listed.
“I hit a Yahtzee. This is very, very lucky.”
But, doing what he loves in the places he loves costs him a lot.
“You have to make sacrifices.”
He spends 50% of his income on rent, and he isn’t alone. Teachers in this mountain community are in crisis.
That’s why Philip Qualman, superintendent of Eagle County Schools near Vail, Colorado, called to the community to open their homes to teachers like Trommater.
“We certainly have people who have, you know, been living in vans, have been living in hotels, have been living on sofas,” said Qualman.
Qualman said he wrote this letter to solve an immediate crisis, but this issue is part of a much larger problem.
“I think this was a creative solution to a symptom, but I don't think that the symptom is the disease. I think the disease is that we have a broken funding model for K-12,” said Qualman.
But there’s good news in this time of struggle: people are willing to help.
“Our initial reaction was a bit of surprise. I mean, we knew there was a housing issue here initially, but we didn't know that it had extended to teachers as well,” said homeowner Eric Gotthelf.
He and his wife responded to the letter, offering their lock-off unit in their home to a teacher for affordable rent.
More than 120 families in Eagle County responded to the letter offering teachers a place to stay.
“I have a young son of my own. And, you know, I'm looking into the future. I want to make sure he has a great education growing up and that there are good teachers for him when that time comes,” said Gotthelf.
Communities in California are asking families to open their doors to educators too, recognizing that keeping teachers in communities means keeping communities whole.
“The teachers, I really believe it's the most important profession that exists in our society,” said Gotthelf.
And while this temporary solution won’t fix things long-term, it’s providing a warm welcome to keep teachers in communities where they’re needed most.

Supreme Court of Appeal Justice Ivy Kamanga has allowed social media activist Joshua Chisa Mbele’s defamation case to go to the Constitutional Court, describing the application by the state to block the move as an abuse of the court process.
Kamanga has made the ruling today on the state’s application seeking a stay of the High Court’s ruling that referred the case to the Constitutional Court.
Justice Kamanga in her ruling said the State’s application lacked merit. She also described the application as baseless, vexatious, frivolous and an abuse of court’s process.
Mbele’s lawyer Gilbert Khonyongwa said the case is now expected to be certified as a constitutional case.
Representing the State, Limbikani Msiska, Senior State Advocate, said the state will also be at the constitutional court to argue its case.
Mbele was arrested after he posted on Facebook earlier this year a document which alleged that Malawi Defence Force Commander General Vincent Nundwe was one of the people who allegedly sourced money from businessman Zuneth Sattar. Mbele deleted the post a few minutes after posting it.

Roger Federer never let ’em see him sweat.
He played tennis with a style that only rarely betrayed the effort behind the masterful serving, the rare-in-its-day attacking and the flawless footwork. He was not one to grunt loudly on shots or celebrate wildly after them.
The way he wielded a racket helped him to win, yes, and win a lot, to the tune of 20 Grand Slam championships — a half-dozen more than any man before him — across a 15-year stretch, and 103 tournament titles in all, plus a Davis Cup trophy and Olympic medals for Switzerland, and spend week after week at No. 1 in the rankings. It also helped him manage to avoid serious injuries for so long and achieve the consistent excellence over decades he prized.
“Every time people write me off, or try to write me off, I’m able to bounce back,” Federer once said in an interview with The Associated Press. On Thursday, at a little more than a month past his 41st birthday and after a series of knee operations, he announced that there would be no more comebacks.
It is a loss for tennis, to be sure, and a loss for the sports world. The news arrives less than two weeks after Serena Williams, who owns 23 Grand Slam singles titles, played what she indicated would be the last match of her own illustrious career shortly before she turns 41.
“Some depart, others come and the world keeps going,” one of Federer’s great rivals, Rafael Nadal, said recently. “It’s a natural cycle.”
OK, the world will keep going. But tennis will not be the same.
Not without Williams, who was feted at the just-concluded U.S. Open. And not without Federer, whose last tournament came last year at Wimbledon, and whose final appearance on court will be next week in London at the Laver Cup, a team event his management group founded.
Tennis will miss Federer, the player. And Federer, the statesman and ambassador who spoke several languages. And Federer, the instantly recognizable global pitchman who brought his sport to places all over the world that didn’t even have tournaments through exhibitions to raise money for his charitable foundation.
Once a tantrum-throwing kid — on the court and off, where he would overturn a chess table when losing to his father — who grew up admiring basketball stars such as Michael Jordan and soccer players more than tennis players, Federer became a symbol of his sport and someone known as much for the way he carried himself as the hardware he accumulated.
“He was the epitome of a champion; class, grace, humility, beloved by everyone,” Hall of Famer Chris Evert wrote on Twitter.
He became friends with Vogue editor Anna Wintour and showed up at the Met Gala. He had a special jacket with a gold “15” on it to don right there on Centre Court after winning Wimbledon in 2009 to break Pete Sampras’ men’s mark of 14 career major trophies. He kept playing, and winning, well past an age that is customary for that sort of thing in tennis, to the point that his two sets of twins — now ages 13 and 8 — eventually were able to be present in courtside guest boxes. He returned after left knee surgery in 2016, the first significant absence of his career, and used a larger racket head and a rebuilt backhand to collect his last three Slams.
“There won’t be anybody like him,” said Tony Godsick, Federer’s agent since 2005. “There will be people who will win more tournaments or will have more Grand Slams. There will always be a new No. 1. There will always be someone holding a trophy up. But no one has had such a big impact and will continue to have such a big impact.”
When it came to defining success, Federer cared about longevity as much as anything. He was proud of facing — and defeating — stars from an earlier generation (Sampras and Andre Agassi), from his own generation (Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, Marat Safin), from the next generation (Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka) and from the current crop (Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas).
He chased the first group, dominated the second, dueled with the third — Nadal, with 22, and Djokovic with 21, eventually surpassed Federer’s Grand Slam total — and set an example for the fourth.
Aside from those major trophies won from 2003 to 2018, Federer put together unprecedented stretches of elite play, appearing in 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals (and 18 of 19), along with 23 semifinals and 36 quarterfinals in a row.
His contests against Nadal, now 36, and Djokovic, 35, were happenings, tantalizing matchups against a backdrop of differing ways of play and contrasting personalities.
“I was lucky enough to play so many epic matches that I will never forget,” Federer wrote in the section of his goodbye post addressed to his competitors. “We battled fairly, with passion and intensity, and I always tried my best to respect the history of the game. I feel extremely grateful. We pushed each other, and together we took tennis to new levels.”
Predicted to be a star from the time he won the Wimbledon junior title as a teenager — a sentiment that only built when he stunned Sampras in the fourth round there in 2001 — it took Federer a little time to get pointed in the right direction: He did not win a quarterfinal match in his first 16 Grand Slam appearances.
There were six first-round exits in that span, including at the 2003 French Open. So then came this concern: Might Federer not quite be as good as he, and others, thought?
It all came together at Wimbledon that year, where Federer claimed his first Grand Slam title at the tournament that always meant the most to him. And off he went.
“There was pressure from all sides; also from myself. I wanted to do better in Slams,” Federer said that day. “I’ve always believed, but then in the end, when it happens, you don’t think that it is possible. It’s an absolute dream for me. I was always joking around when I was a boy: ’I’m going to win this.’”
He would end up with those men’s-record eight at Wimbledon, plus six at the Australian Open, five at the U.S. Open and one at the French Open. He is one of eight men with a career Grand Slam, holds the records for most consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the ATP computerized rankings and for oldest to get there, and set a mark for most total weeks that Djokovic eclipsed.
If anyone worried that Federer is gone for good, one of those athletes who wants to disappear after the playing days are done, he concluded his farewell note with these words: “To the game of tennis: I love you and will never leave you.”

Executive privilege: That’s a principle that has come up a lot in recent years, most recently regarding former President Donald Trump’s efforts to keep documents seized from the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago under wraps.
In the early 1980s, attorneys advising former President Ronald Reagan were looking for their own executive privilege test case, and they found it in Congressional requests for documents from the Environmental Protection Agency regarding a handful of Superfund sites.
They told EPA administrator Anne Gorsuch not to hand over the documents. When she complied, she ended up in more trouble than the White House advisors predicted and in the center of a perfect media storm that put pressure on the Reagan administration to change direction at the EPA.
It wasn’t just Gorsuch who ended up in hot water. By the end of the saga, one of her deputies would end up with a prison sentence.
The fourth episode of Captured breaks down the maelstrom at the EPA over the withheld documents, and what the documents — and the tussle itself — revealed about the inner workings of the agency meant to protect the environment and public health.
Full episode transcript
Scott Tong: ‘I smell a rat.’ When we left you, Congress was starting to get more than a whiff of scandal at the EPA; of polluters guarding the henhouse. And wouldn’t you know it, the more people whisper, the more the news media joins the chase.
Greg Gordon: What got me sort of into the environmental arena was a tip that there was an enormous dioxin problem — dioxin being maybe the most toxic chemical produced by man — in the state of Missouri.
Tong: This is Greg Gordon, long-time investigative reporter in Washington, D.C. And, full disclosure, my journalism professor in college … back in the early ‘90s. Now in the early ‘80s, Greg gets a crash course on this deadly family of chemicals: dioxin. It’s often a byproduct of industrial manufacturing, when a company makes a chemical or it burns something.
Gordon: I was writing for United Press International. I was a young investigative reporter at the time, working in the Washington bureau.
Tong: By 1982, the stench at the EPA is one of the biggest stories in town. Industrial toxins are turning up in neighborhoods all over the country. Yet the agency is slow to clean things up or to punish polluters. And Greg Gordon gets this tip.
Gordon: There was a chemical plant in Southwest Missouri, in the town of Verona.
Tong: During the Vietnam War, the plant produced Agent Orange: a chemical herbicide the Americans used to clear trees and expose the enemy. We now know it is linked to many cancers: Leukemia, lung, prostate. It’s a long list. The making of Agent Orange produced this poisonous byproduct: dioxin.
Gordon: One person described to me that if you had a single drop of dioxin dropped in a swimming pool, it would be toxic.
Tong: So in the early 70s, as Vietnam was still going, this factory in Missouri was — patriotically — making Agent Orange.
Gordon: There was a waste sludge that was in tanks at the plant that they wanted to get rid of. So they hired a truck driver named Russell Bliss and Mr. Bliss mixed the sludge with waste oil and was spraying it all around the state on roads for, for dust control and so forth.
Tong: So here’s what was going on. Dust was getting kicked up on unpaved roads. Towns around the state hired this truck driver named Bliss to spray a liquid cocktail to keep the dust down. Bliss also happened to haul waste for the Agent Orange plant, so he had all this dioxin on his hands, which he stirred into his cocktail. Convenient. But suddenly, more than 40 horses near these roads he was spraying turned up dead. Now, this contamination — it doesn’t become news for a decade.
Gordon: I got this tip and I started checking it, and I found a source in the government in Missouri who told me that this was brewing and there were 35, 50 sites in the state that were contaminated.
Tong: By now it’s 1982. And the timing could not be worse for the agency charged with protecting us from poison in the soil and water — the Environmental Protection Agency — and the two women at the top. Rita Lavelle is the deputy in charge of toxic waste, including the Superfund program to clean up old toxic dump sites. And Anne Gorsuch, who heads the EPA. Already, they’re under fire for purging enemies in the building and for going easy on industry friends of the Reagan White House. And now this. Will they survive? And what will the outcome mean for environmental protection? I’m Scott Tong. And from WBUR Podcasts and Here & Now, this is Captured: A brazen attempt to take over the EPA, and the nerds and pencil pushers who pushed back. Episode 4: Contempt. Okay — from Missouri back to Washington, D.C. now. On Capitol Hill, one of the key players putting the EPA and the Reagan administration in the hot seat is a surprising one: Elliott Levitas is a moderate Democrat from the South from a Republican-leaning district in Atlanta. Not exactly a Reagan hater. Now in 2022 — Levitas is retired and he’s in his 90s, but my goodness, his memory. As Levitas tells it: Back in the 1980s, he was not hunting for an EPA scandal. He was trying to avoid one.
Elliott Levitas: One of the things that I wanted to do as the chairman of this committee was to avoid doing oversight as an autopsy.
Tong: In other words, to prevent a government crisis in the first place. And his staff is asking: ‘What’s going on at the EPA? Is it responding to toxic waste emergencies and waste sites around the country?’ Remember, the agency has this Superfund program to clean up these sites.
Levitas: These staff people who knew their business went over to EPA and were getting these documents and examining them and seeing if there were any patterns that came to light.
Tong: As part of the paper trail, Elliot Levitas’s staff asks for documents on Superfund sites — including the Stringfellow Acid Pits in California. We’ve heard about that site in earlier episodes.
Levitas: All of a sudden, they closed the door and said, ‘We’re not going to let you have any documents.’ And that’s when I smelled the rat.
Tong: Now he’s in a fight.
Levitas: My concern was that they were using the Superfund program, not to enhance environmental protection, but to diminish or abolish it.
Tong: Now, that’s just the suspicions of one Congressional committee. There’s a separate investigation of the EPA at the House Energy and Commerce Committee. And its chair is one of the most feared men in Washington: John Dingell, Democrat of Michigan. Self-styled watchdog. Dingell is actually not loved by environmentalists, either, because he represents Dearborn: The automakers. He gets slammed as ‘Tailpipe Johnny.’ ‘Dirty Dingell.’ But, he is tenacious about scandal at Superfund.
(Soundbite from hearing: Today, the subcommittee continues its inquiry into the administration of the Superfund act and withholding Superfund files from the Congress.)
Tong: Dingell wants documents about the Stringfellow Acid Pits, too. It’s one of the worst sites in the country but mysteriously the cleanup is being delayed. So Dingell starts to wonder: Is there a political cover-up here? Is the EPA asleep at the wheel … on purpose? But the Reagan EPA goes dark on Dingell, too. No documents on Stringfellow. Why no documents? Executive privilege. Sounds familiar, right? OK, quick detour: Executive privilege is what ex-President Trump and key staffers were arguing in the summer of 2022 to avoid talking to the Jan. 6 committee in Congress.
(Soundbite from news coverage: Mr. Cippollone recalled conversations about those chants in the West Wing, but he relied on executive privilege to maintain confidentiality … )
Tong: This is a separation of powers argument. Richard Nixon made it, too: claiming executive privilege to not hand over secret White House audio tapes.
(Soundbite from archival footage: Here are arguments in number 73, 1766 United States of America against Nixon … )
Tong: Nixon lost at the Supreme Court, and those tapes became key evidence in the Watergate scandal that sank him. As far as the Reagan EPA — here’s Dick Frandsen, an investigator for John Dingell. As we’ve been telling you, he has been on the case.
Dick Frandsen: They were going to claim executive privilege over a certain set of documents, but they also did a second thing in addition to starting a constitutional fight with the separate and co-equal branch of government on access to information.
Tong: So this is the White House versus Congress. The Republican administration versus a Democratic House of Representatives. And in the middle of this fight is Anne Gorsuch. She’s the cabinet official in the hot seat who’s actually claiming executive privilege.
Frandsen: The only enforcement mechanism in the process is up the ante, send a subpoena, duces tecum for documents with a return date. That means they have to bring the documents to the committee, right? Failure to bring the documents on the date to show up or bring the documents holds them open to being cited for contempt of Congress.
Tong: Contempt of Congress. That is a Washington mark of shame. When that is threatened, people tend to give in. Henry Kissinger backed down in 1975 when Congress asked for intelligence documents. In fact, up to 1982, no cabinet-level official has ever faced such a charge. Contempt also means possible prosecution and even prison time. That is what Gorsuch faces.
In the middle of this showdown, her notorious deputy commits an awful gaffe. Remember last episode — we told you about Rita Lavelle’s rocky introduction to the agency to oversee toxic waste, including Superfund.
Rita Lavelle: Let me tell ya, EPA was horrific. The people, the employees hated us, were out to actively undermine us.
Tong: She writes this memo about her goals at the EPA that gets to her worldview. And the memo eventually goes public. She writes that most hazardous waste sites have been rendered as benign and that industries today are not dangerous to public health. So there’s a picture: She’s not that worried about toxic chemicals — which may explain Rita’s position on a waste site in Arkansas. The site has PCBs [Polychlorinated biphenyls] — toxic chemicals historically used to make paints, plastics and rubber. Chemicals whose production was federally banned in the 1970s because they’re so poisonous.
(Soundbite from archival news: Polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs. These are toxic compounds, which for the most part cannot be legally disposed of in landfills.)
Tong: The EPA’s regional office in Arkansas asked for federal money to clean this site up. Rita Lavelle rejects it on grounds that kids would have to eat three candy bars’ worth of dirt to get sick from this soil. ‘It’s just a little poison. What’s the big deal?’ Where do we start? First of all, you don’t have to eat poisonous soil to get sick. The stuff emits toxic fumes and pollutes water and plants. And — could the federal government be more dismissive? Anyway, an EPA spokesperson later apologizes for Rita’s poor choice of words. Already, her boss Anne Gorsuch, is trying to contain crises at EPA. Anne worries the episode will further stir up the ire of John Dingell on Capitol Hill; she’ll write this later in her memoir. And the deadline to hand over documents is coming. On Nov. 30, less than a week before she’s supposed to appear in front of Elliot Levitas’s committee Gorsuch’s big boss — that would be the President of the United States — tells her, ‘Fight. Don’t hand them over.’ Anne Gorsuch is conflicted; She actually wants to release the documents. She thinks the executive privilege claim is weak.
(Soundbite of Gorsuch: I think it was very frankly, very poor advice.)
Tong: Still, she stays loyal to the president. And his Justice Department promises to have her back. At least for now. But then, she makes history. The bad kind.
(Soundbite of archival news: The House of Representatives today certified its contempt citation against environmental protection agency chief Anne Gorsuch and referred the matter to the U.S. attorney.)
Tong: Congress votes to hold her in contempt. Elliot Levitas.
Levitas: From the very beginning days, there had never been a cabinet official held in contempt of Congress. Never. And for that to have occurred when it did told me that for whatever reason, this was a matter of extreme importance to the Reagan people and their colleagues.
Tong: This becomes the first, big scandal for the Reagan administration. Yet for Anne Gorsuch and her bosses, it’s gonna get worse. Much worse. After the break.
Tong: By now, the media is swarming around Anne Gorsuch, who we’ve told you hates the media. At The New York Times, reporter Phil Shabecoff is chasing the Anne Gorsuch story.
Phil Shabecoff: She was called to give closed testimony before a House committee investigating the management of the Superfund and there was a big crowd of reporters waiting outside the door and she came out another door down the hall and the whole crowd reporters rushed after her.
Tong: Phil remembers a photographer turning to him.
Shabecoff: And he said to me, ‘When they run after you like that, you’re gone.’ And he proved to be quite prescient. She was gone not long thereafter.
Tong: For the moment, though, Anne seems unfazed. Unrattled. Remember? She’s the Ice Queen. At least according to Dale Russakoff, then a reporter at The Washington Post.
Dale Russakoff: She said, you know, something like, ‘I’m here to do what this president wants us to do.’ And I remember just thinking she was a soldier, you know?
Tong: In an interview, Dale the reporter asks Anne the EPA administrator about the contempt of Congress charges. And Anne just rolls her eyes. This congressional brouhaha — all the politics — so not the point.
Russakoff: It just seemed like she just thought this is a ridiculous place. You know, there’s just way too much sound and fury over, you know, things that really are not central to what the government is about.
Tong: To Anne, what the government is really about is streamlining costs. And protecting the environment efficiently. And at this moment, all eyes are on that dioxin contamination in Missouri, which she flies down to deal with.
By the way, in the middle of all this she gets married, and goes by Anne Gorsuch Burford. How Anne Gorsuch has time to get married and become Mrs. Burford, I have no idea.
Gordon: People began to do sampling and they were discovering dioxin throughout this town now spread all over the place.
Tong: Again, reporter Greg Gordon who’s been on the story in Missouri.
Gordon: And, there were hurried huddles and, you know, meetings and frantic phone calls being made. And the next thing you know, Anne Burford called a news conference and announced that the federal government was buying, purchasing the town of Times Beach so everybody in the town could be made whole and it could be cleaned up.
Tong: That’s right. The EPA buys every home in the town of Times Beach, Missouri. So everyone can move out. The government decides it’s too dangerous to live there. Now, this is a controversial call.
(Soundbite from archival news:
LEWIS REGENSTEIN: It doesn’t make any sense to buy up Times Beach, Missouri, to spend tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money.
ROBERT MACNEIL: 33 million.
REGENSTEIN: 33 million so far to buy up Times Beach, Missouri, and to evacuate it because it contains levels of one part per billion in some areas and much higher another areas. While at the same time you allow these herbicides 2,4,5-T and Silvex to be sprayed all over the country.)
Tong: In any event, it’s another black mark for the EPA.
(Soundbite from archival news: The EPA has really not been doing the job it should have been doing in this area and many other areas.)
Tong: Another moment for critics to slam the agency for not acting sooner. Now, Greg Gordon’s breaking stories left and right in Missouri, in Washington. And his next one may help sink Rita Lavelle — who made that comment about the candy bars of poisonous dirt. Her staff — as we’ve told you — never liked her. Remember what EPA staff lawyer Ed Kurent said about her?
Ed Kurent: She wasn’t close to being qualified. I might not have hired her as a secretary in my division.
Tong: Recall Rita has a conflict of interest disaster. One of the polluters the EPA is investigating is Rita Lavelle’s old employer: Aerojet. She recuses herself from the case on June 17, 1982. But by then, she has known about Aerojet for two weeks. That’s no-no number one. Number two is lying about it. Rita goes before a congressional committee under oath and says she recused herself immediately after she learned about the conflict. We know this is not true. Remember? In Episode 3? When Ed Kurent told Rita about her conflict way back in May?
Kurent: They needed to understand that, you know, there’s the law and there’s what you want to do. And there are standards by which things get done.
Tong: And that this was all documented by staff scientist Deb Dalton?
Deb Dalton: My job was to write a memo and explain that for legal reasons she needed to recuse.
Tong: To Deb, this is all part of what she compares to the French resistance. EPA employees and their friends on the outside leaking stories and documents to get the facts out. Speaking truth to power, as they see it. And now, Congress asks several of them to speak on the record. So Rita — she’s caught.
Gordon: And suddenly the phone rang and I was told Rita Lavelle may have just perjured herself. I said, ‘What?’ What reporter gets a call like that? It was very unusual. And it was a very reliable source. That’s all I’ll say about the source.
Tong: Can I just say, Greg Gordon can really keep a secret? Not revealing his sources? After 40 years?
Gordon: I wrote a story and my boss has put it on the United Press International wire. And within about an hour, Peter Jennings of ABC read it on the evening news. And a short time after that my phone rang again and it was Rita Lavelle screaming at me.
Tong: Rita claims this call never happened. But you can imagine why she might have been upset. Perjury is a big deal. It’s a felony. You could go to prison. In any event, Rita says she had no intention to lie.
Lavelle: Oh my God. After hours and hours and hours of testimony, that’s all they could come up with? A date discrepancy? And what is the motivation to lie?
Tong: She says she was just confused about her calendar.
Lavelle: I challenge you to remember what you put on your calendar last week.
Tong: I wouldn’t know. Challenge not accepted because I don’t know!
Lavelle: You just committed perjury! Hang ‘im!
Tong: Intentionally or not, she misleads Congress. Under oath. Multiple times. This on top of her kids-eating-toxic-dirt comment, you know, the candy bars. And then, in the course of these hearings, Congress turns up a memo from Rita — ‘the primary constituency of this administration: the business community.’ Sure smells like industry capturing government. In the end, February 1983, Anne Gorsuch Burford asks Rita Lavelle to resign. Or, perhaps forces her.
Lavelle: In the discussion while she’s trying to fire me and tells me I’m fired and she’s already issued the press release that I resigned. She says, ‘Unless you sign it, I’ll blackball you everywhere. You’ll never have a job again.’
Tong: Rita is fired. And you would think the story ends here. Well, Rita Lavelle’s deputies later tell investigators that her underlings then snuck into her office and made off with key documents. Which were later found in her apartment, according to sworn testimony.
(Soundbite of archival news: Rita Lavelle was fired after she declined a Gorsuch request to resign. This triggered an array of congressional investigations into charges Lavelle made sweetheart deals with polluters. And to spend Superfund cleanup money on a political basis. Then a paper shredder was discovered at EPA and an FBI investigation was launched to discover if it had been used to eliminate any of those documents.)
Tong: Now Rita tells us — nope. She knew nothing about documents escaping or aides doing it.
Lavelle: I don’t know what they did after I left, after I was escorted out. I don’t know what they did, but certainly nobody delivered anything to me at my apartment. I don’t know what they did.
Tong: It all looks really bad for the White House. Keep in mind: this is the early 80s, when the EPA and environmental issues — clean air, clean water, protecting endangered species — have huge, bipartisan support from Congress and the American people. So right around then, Elliott Levitas, the Southern Democrat heading an investigation into the EPA remembers getting a call. It’s James Baker, Ronald Reagan’s White House chief of staff. Offering to sacrifice Anne Gorsuch Burford.
Levitas: He says to me, ‘If we give you Anne Gorsuch, Anne Burford, will you drop your investigation?’ And what he was saying is, ‘In exchange for our firing her, the administrator, would you drop the investigation?’
Tong: Let’s underscore what’s on the table here: The Reagan White House is offering to throw its top official at the EPA overboard. And in exchange, it wants Congress to stop the investigations. To back down. This is damage control — an attempt to make this toxic political mess go away.
Levitas: And what I said to him, ‘Mr. Baker, you don’t understand, you don’t get it. I’m not interested in getting rid of Anne Burford. I’m interested in looking at these documents and seeing what they reveal.’
Tong: Levitas hangs up. And puts in a call to Anne, the EPA head.
Levitas: I said, ‘Anne do you realize you are being set up, that they are setting you up, they’re going to get rid of you in return for our ending this investigation?’ And when I said that there was silence on the other end of the line. And after a long silence, she said, ‘I’d like to talk to you in person when I get back in town.’ That was the last communication we had.
Tong: And this is how the Ice Queen gets frozen out. Here’s how she puts it, years later.
(Soundbite of Gorsuch: My father always said, ‘Anne, you never really have to worry about your enemies… It will be your friends who can do you in.’ And in fact, that’s what happened.)
Tong: More, on the final episode of Captured.

The Only Fools and Horses legends look unrecognisable in a recent reunion photo after getting together almost 20 year after the hit BBC sitcom ended. Several of the cast members - including Philip Pope, Michael Fenton, Daniel Peacock and Patrick Murray - were spotted by fans at recent convention that took place in Hull.
The stars were beaming as they posed for the cameras. Phillip Pope, who had a minor cameo appearance on Only Fools and Horses, playing club singer Tony Angelino in the classic episode Stage Fright, cut a casual figure as he styled a blue blazer and shirt and grey trousers.
Actor Patrick Murray - who starred as Mickey Pearce in the series - looked dashing in an all black suit with a black hat and plain white shirt, whilst Michael Fenton and Daniel Peacock both opted to wear sleeveless shirts to the big event, with the Alan Perkins actor going for something slightly bolder - a Hawaiian shirt.
An avid fan of Only Fools and Horses, Sam Thorpe, was able to capture a truly iconic moment. Taking to Instagram, Sam wrote: ‘Great Only Fools and Horses evening in Hull tonight. Was great to meet some of the cast including Philip Pope AKA Tony Angelino, Michael Fenton Stevens AKA Alan Perkins who I also know best for his role as Sir Henry in Benidorm, Daniel Peacock AKA Mental Mickey and finally Mickey Pearce himself Patrick Murray!’
Patrick Murray is arguably the most famous among the cast, who'd recently came together, as he featured in a number of Only Fools and Horses episodes as his character. He was a part of the beloved cast from 1983 up until 2003.
Patrick, who is now 65, was diagnosed with lung cancer. However, after undergoing treatment, the TV star was able to share that the cancer in his liver was shrinking, which he told his social media followers in May. He'd also added a heartfelt message of thanks to the NHS staff who cared for him since his diagnosis in July last year.

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — The Vatican plans to keep open paths of dialogue with Russia, even if doing so “smells,” Pope Francis said Thursday, reaffirming Ukraine’s right to defend itself.
Francis spoke at length about Russia’s war in Ukraine and the need for peace during a press conference while traveling home from Kazakhstan. Francis had visited the former Soviet republic to participate in an interfaith peace conference that, in its final communique, called on all political leaders to stop conflict and bloodshed “in all corners of our world.”
Francis has long touted the need for dialogue, even with antagonists and countries that are hostile to the Catholic Church. He reaffirmed that policy in comments about Russia, China and even Nicaragua, where the government has been cracking down on the church.
“I don’t exclude dialogue with any power that is in war, even if it’s the aggressor,” Francis said. “It smells, but you have to do it. Always take a step forward, with the hand outstretched, because the alternative is to close the only reasonable door to peace.”
In that vein, Francis had hoped his trip to Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan would provide a chance to meet with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, who has justified the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine on spiritual and ideological grounds. Patriarch Kirill bowed out of the conference last month, but his envoy who attended said another meeting was possible between the two world religious leaders but must be prepared well in advance.
At the same time, though, Francis affirmed that it was “morally acceptable” for Ukraine to receive weapons to defend itself against Moscow’s invasion. He said such a defense is not only right but “also an expression of love for your country.” But he said the motivation behind such fighting is key.
“It can be immoral if it’s done with the intention of provoking more war or selling weapons or getting rid of the weapons that you don’t need anymore,” he said.
Lamenting that wars are raging around the planet, he recalled that when he was 9 years old, in 1945, he learned the value of peace as word spread in Buenos Aires that World War II had ended.
“Even today, I can see my mother and the neighbor weeping with joy because the war had ended. We were in a South American country, far away. But these people, these women, knew that peace was bigger than all wars. And they wept with joy when peace was made.”
“I won’t ever forget that,” he said.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Evander Kane and the San Jose Sharks reached a settlement Friday on the grievance he filed over the termination of his contract last season.
The Sharks announced the agreement that they said was approved by the NHL and the Players' Association.
“We are satisfied that its terms will not adversely impact the team, either financially or competitively, in this or future seasons,” the team said in a statement.
The Sharks terminated Kane’s contract in January for violating virus protocol while with their top minor league affiliate, the American Hockey League's San Jose Barracuda. The contract termination cost Kane just under $23 million from the $49 million, seven-year contract he signed in May 2018.
Kane and the NHL Players’ Association filed a grievance contending the Sharks didn’t have sufficient grounds to make that move. While that process was ongoing, he signed for the remainder of the season with the Oilers and re-signed for $20.5 million over four years in Edmonton.
The 31-year-old is with his fourth NHL organization after being drafted by Atlanta, going to Winnipeg when the Thrashers became the Jets and getting traded to Buffalo and then San Jose. He fit in well with the Oilers, helping them reach the Western Conference final.

Former All-Star catcher John Stearns dies at 71
DENVER (AP) — John Stearns, a four-time time All-Star catcher with the New York Mets, has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 71.
Stearns, who played football and baseball at the University of Colorado, died Thursday night in Denver, according to the Mets.
He passed away less than three weeks after attending an Old Timers’ Day at Citi Field in New York that coincided with the Mets’ 60th anniversary. He was noticeably thin in his Mets jersey on Aug. 27 and waved to the crowd when he was introduced on the field.
“No one played the game with more spirit or determination than John Stearns,” Mets President Sandy Alderson said Friday in a statement. “He literally willed himself to attend Old Timers’ Day last month so he could visit friends and old teammates. Despite his illness, he even managed to step into the batting cage to take a few swings. His nickname, ‘Bad Dude’ couldn’t have been more appropriate.”
Stearns was a complete catcher. He could hit, run and throw out baserunners, nailing almost 38% of those who attempted to steal.
Stearns was a late draft pick as a defensive back by the NFL’s Buffalo Bills in 1973. The Philadelphia Phillies took him second overall that same year and he opted to play baseball.
With Bob Boone behind the plate for the Phillies, Stearns never really had a chance to play in Philadelphia after struggling early with his hitting. After appearing in one game for the Phillies in 1974, he was traded to the Mets as part of the multiplayer deal that sent relief pitcher Tug McGraw to Philadelphia.
Stearns played with the Mets from 1975-84 in a tenure that included frequent battles with injuries. He was named an All-Star in 1977, ‘79, ‘80 and 82. He had a career batting average of .260 in 810 games with 152 doubles, 10 triples and 46 home runs. He also stole 91 bases, including a team-high 25 in 1978.
A former safety and punter in college, Stearns was solid and feisty. Pirates star Dave Parker sustained a broken collarbone in one collision with Stearns in 1978 and future Mets star catcher Gary Carter got into a fight with him after another collision at home in ‘79.
One other incident Mets fans will remember is Stearns tackling one of two fans who ran on the field in 1980 and eluded authorities a little too long for his liking.
After retiring as a player, he served in a number of baseball jobs as a scout with Milwaukee, a bullpen coach for the Yankees, a minor league manager for Toronto and as a scout and coach for the Orioles.
He returned to the Mets as a coach in 2000 for two years under Bobby Valentine and later as a scout and minor league coach.
Stearns became an entertaining figure for a national audience when cameras and microphones memorably caught him shouting in the dugout, “The monster is out of the cage! The monster is out of the cage!” as Hall of Fame slugger Mike Piazza began breaking out of a hitting slump during the 2000 postseason.
“John was such a key part of our staff,” Valentine said. “He had a unique way of lighting a fire under the guys. Every time we spoke by phone, he kept telling me he was going to beat this thing. That was John Stearns to a tee.”
Stearns is survived by his son, Justin, brothers, Richard and William and his sister, Carla.

BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT/PARIS (dpa-AFX) - European stocks closed notably lower on Wednesday as investors continued to react to Wednesday's report from the U.S. Labor Department showing hotter-than-expected consumer prices inflation in the world's largest economy.
With the inflation data raising the possibility of another aggressive interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve at its monetary policy meeting next week, investors appeared quite reluctant to pick up stocks.
Also, energy crisis continued to weigh on sentiment.
Data from the U.S. Labor Department on Wednesday showed the consumer price index inched up by 0.1% in August after coming in unchanged in July. Economists had expected consumer prices to edge down by 0.1%.
Compared to the same month a year ago, consumer prices were up by 8.3% in August, reflecting a slowdown from the 8.5% spike in July. However, economists had expected the annual rate of growth to slow to 8.1%.
Meanwhile, the annual rate of growth by core consumer prices accelerated to 6.3% in August from 5.9% in July. The annual rate of growth was expected to rise to 6.1%.
The pan European Stoxx 600 drifted down 0.86%. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 dropped 1.47%, Germany's DAX ended 1.22% down, and France's CAC 40 fell 0.37%, while Switzerland's SMI declined 1.26%.
Among other markets in Europe, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Russia closed weak.
Spain edged down marginally, while Poland and Turkiye ended higher.
On the economic front, UK consumer price inflation slowed slightly in August from a 40-year high on a fall in fuel prices, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed.
Consumer price inflation unexpectedly slowed to 9.9% in August from 10.1% in July. The rate was forcast to rise slightly to 10.2%. On a monthly basis, the consumer price index rose 0.5%, slightly weaker than the 0.6% rise in July. Economists had expected prices to climb againg by 0.6%.
Eurozone industrial production declined more than expected in July, data published by Eurostat showed on Wednesday.
Industrial output dropped 2.3% from June, when production was up 1.1%. The pace of decline was deeper than economists' forecast of -1%.
The monthly fall was largely driven by the 4.2% decrease in capital goods output and a 1.6% fall in durable consumer goods production. In addition, production of intermediate goods was down 0.8%.
Partially offsetting these declines, non-durable consumer goods production climbed 1.2% and energy output grew 0.4%.
In the UK market, Ocado Group shares plunged 8.25%.
ABRDN, Berkeley Group Holdings, Schrodders, Melrose Industries, Rolls-Royce Holdings, CRH, Antofagasta, RS Group, Dechra Pharmaceuticals and Tesco shed 3 to 6%.
Scottish Mortgage rallied nearly 2.5%. Haleon and Pershing Square Holdings gained 1.4% and 1.1%, respectively.
In Paris, ArcelorMittal ended more than 4% down. Legrand, Vivendi, Air France-KLM, Veolia, Saint Gobain, Publicis Groupe and Airbus Group ended lower by 2 to 3.1%.
Renault rallied more than 3%. Valeo, Atos, Accor, Faurecia, Worldline and Sodexo posted moderate gains.
In the German market, Deutsche Wohnen ended 4.7% down. Covestro, BASF, RWE, Vonovia, Fresenius Medical Care, Fresenius, Munich RE, E.ON. Deutsche Post, Siemens, Siemens Healthineers and MTU Aero Engines also ended sharply lower.
KION Group shares plunged nearly 30% after a profit warning. The warehouse equipment manufacturer said it expects to report a third-quarter loss due to supply chain shortages and rising energy and material costs.
Volkswagen gained about 1.1%. Deutsche Boerse and Porsche Automobil posted modest gains.

Puppet Masters
The Ukrainian military has struck the office of the pro-Russian administration in the southern city of Kherson, the local authorities claim. Kirill Stremousov, the deputy chair of the military-civilian administration, said the strike was meant specifically to take him out.
According to RIA Novosti, citing a correspondent on the ground, the attack left at least one person dead and another one injured. The report claims at least five missiles launched from a US-made HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) hit the seat of the pro-Russian administration.
One of the rockets hit the office of the local authorities, a member of the military-civilian administration, Ekaterina Gubareva, told journalists.
She called the strike a "craven act of terrorism."
Later on Friday, the regional administration confirmed the death of three people - two civilians and a driver of one of the officials.
A video circulating on social media, which apparently depicts the immediate aftermath of the attack, shows people, in both civilian and military attire, fleeing from a building shrouded in clouds of dust and smoke. Part of the roof appears to be gone entirely.
According to local officials, emergency services are at the scene clearing debris. A second strike on the area, however, cannot be ruled out, the pro-Russian administration has warned, urging people to stay away from the damaged building.
The city of Kherson fell to Russian forces in early March, soon after Moscow launched its operation in Ukraine.
Late last month, pro-Kiev troops staged a counteroffensive in the region, which, according to the Kremlin, failed completely, with the Ukrainian military suffering heavy casualties.
According to RIA Novosti, citing a correspondent on the ground, the attack left at least one person dead and another one injured. The report claims at least five missiles launched from a US-made HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) hit the seat of the pro-Russian administration.

A video circulating on social media, which apparently depicts the immediate aftermath of the attack, shows people, in both civilian and military attire, fleeing from a building shrouded in clouds of dust and smoke. Part of the roof appears to be gone entirely.
According to local officials, emergency services are at the scene clearing debris. A second strike on the area, however, cannot be ruled out, the pro-Russian administration has warned, urging people to stay away from the damaged building.
The city of Kherson fell to Russian forces in early March, soon after Moscow launched its operation in Ukraine.
Late last month, pro-Kiev troops staged a counteroffensive in the region, which, according to the Kremlin, failed completely, with the Ukrainian military suffering heavy casualties.

She will be overseeing operations worth nearly $10 billion
American tech giant Google is seeding a big update to its Photos app, calling it the biggest update for Memories since the feature's inception in 2020.
According to GSM Arena, Google has added that Memories is very popular, netting more than 3.5 billion views per month. The feature has now been redesigned to be more dynamic.
A big focus has been placed on videos and Photos will now preselect snippets of longer videos to show you. Still, images in Memories are now more immersive thanks to an automatic subtle zooming in or out.
Also, users can now share a Memory with another Photos user. The option to share a Memory through a Web link and to iOS will be coming soon. Google notes that users can still choose to omit photos of certain people or time periods from their Memories, reported GSM Arena.
Another way your Memories will be more dynamic is through Cinematic photos — Google Photos generates a moving, 3-D model of your image and it will render full end-to-end videos with Cinematic photos.
Further, a much-appreciated feature is the new Collage editor. Users can finally edit their collages with different grids, move photos around, and even choose a background, Google calls it Styles, with several designs set to launch, as per GSM Arena.

Texas reached into its deep recruiting pockets to impress Arch Manning and other high school prospects, spending more than $600,000 on two weekends in June, The Athletic reported Friday.
The Athletic obtained public records to look at everything Texas did to impress the recruits and their parents, including first-class hotels, buffets, treats, golf and a pair of socials for the parents.
Manning, ranked as the nation's No. 1 recruit by the 247Sports composite, had made unofficial visits to Texas. But when he made his official visit June 17-19 -- when schools are allowed to wine and dine -- the Longhorns spent almost $280,000 on nine recruits and their families, The Athletic reported.
Four of the nine recruits that weekend have committed to the Longhorns so far, including Manning, whose uncles Peyton and Eli each won a pair of Super Bowls.
The following weekend, Texas spent an additional $350,000 to entertain 14 more recruits -- 12 of whom have committed, The Athletic reported.
On the weekend of Manning's visit, Texas spent more than $87,000 before the players and families ever stepped foot on campus: $21,000 on transportation; nearly $47,000 on rooms at the Four Seasons Austin for them, some coaches and staff; $17,000 on a lunch buffet; and about $1,800 on treats for their rooms, including small cakes adorned with the Texas logo.
"If you've never been to something nice before, you definitely got to experience that at Texas," Chris Pilot, father of recruit Mikal Harrison-Pilot, told The Athletic.
Other expenses outlined by The Athletic included about $66,000 for two dinners for the guests, coaching staff, recruiting staff and others; $44,000 for parents receptions; a $10,000 breakfast; and $9,500 for an outing to Top Golf, where the kids played while their parents talked football with the coaches.

(The Hill) — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Thursday slammed Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) for his treatment of a witness during a House Oversight Committee hearing.
Higgins had a contentious exchange during the hearing with clean energy advocate Raya Salter, who he at various points referred to as “young lady” and “boo.”
“I’m trying to give you the floor, boo,” Higgins told Salter at one point as the two talked over one another.
Salter is an attorney, a consultant and an adjunct professor at Cardoza Law School, according to a biography on her website.
Ocasio-Cortez blasted Higgins when she had her turn to speak.
“In the four years that I’ve sat on this committee, I have never seen members of Congress, Republican or Democrat, disrespect a witness in the way that I have seen them disrespect you today,” Ocasio-Cortez told Salter during the hearing.
“Frankly, men who treat women like that in public — I fear how they treat them in private. We can be better than this. We don’t have to resort to yelling.”
Higgins and Salter got into an argument during questioning, talking over each other as Higgins asked her how she would deal with petrol-chemical products if fossil fuels were eliminated.
Salter replied that she would turn to the congressman and ask him to “search your heart” about the fossil fuel industry’s impact on Black and poor populations in Louisiana, and the conversation became heated.
“You know what you got, young lady? You got a lot of noise, but you got no answers,” Higgins said.
Salter accused Higgins’ state of being “owned” by the fossil fuel industry.
The committee was meeting to examine profits and climate pledges from Big Oil companies like Exxon and Shell in the context of the ongoing climate crisis.
Salter is the founder and executive director of the Energy Justice Law and Policy Center.
“Do you care about the planet, good lady? Like, do you have ecological concern, for real? … The Lord gave us dominion over the planet and the creatures thereof… from a biblical perspective, I am an environmentalist. I love my planet and the people and the creatures thereof. Do you?” Higgins asked Salter.
Ocasio-Cortez said she wanted to apologize to Salter for how Higgins had treated her, saying “the people do not deserve to see that.”
Salter interjected to thank the New York congresswoman. “You’ve provided so much leadership and courage. They can come for me all day long,” Salter said.
“Well, let’s get them today, then,” AOC quipped back.
The Hill has reached out to Higgins’ office for comment.

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon expects to sign contract extension with the Colorado Avalanche soon, and it could make him the highest-paid player in the NHL.
MacKinnon wants to get something done before the season starts next month, adding he’ll shelve talks if an agreement isn’t reached by Oct. 12 when the reigning champions raise their Stanley Cup banner and begin their title defense.
“We’re pretty close,” MacKinnon said Thursday at the NHL/NHLPA player media tour outside Las Vegas. “I’d prefer it to be done. … It gets emotional. You feel like it’s personal sometimes. I’d like to get it done just so it’s not a distraction at all.”
Agent Pat Brisson said the sides are trying to get a deal done relatively soon. MacKinnon’s current contract expires after this season.
When it’s finalized, the deal could surpass Connor McDavid’s $100 million over eight years as the richest signed since the salary cap era began in 2005. McDavid, Edmonton’s captain whose $12.5 million cap hit is the highest in the league, said he hasn’t thought much about others passing him.
“It’d be good for hockey, I guess, to keep raising the bar,” McDavid said. “But ultimately the salary cap system’s a weird system where the more money you make, the less money someone else can make. It’s kind of a weird system that way.”
MacKinnon has said he’d be willing to take less money to keep Colorado competitive. It helps that the Avalanche have already signed Norris Trophy-winning and playoff MVP defenseman Cale Makar, captain Gabriel Landeskog and valuable forwards Valeri Nichushkin and Artturi Lehkonen long term.
“I think the deal I sign will be fair,” MacKinnon said. “It’s not going to be a single digit (salary cap hit) or anything, but it’ll be good, I think, for both sides. Denver’s the only place I want to be.”
MacKinnon has been a finalist for the Hart Trophy as league MVP three times in the past five seasons and was one of Colorado’s best players during their Cup run with 24 points in 20 games.
At $6.3 million against the cap, MacKinnon has for quite some time been one of the most underpaid players in hockey.
“It’s not what you want, that’s for sure,” he said. “It’s not the title you’re looking for. I’m glad we won a Cup though.”

3 Steelers players who need to step up in Week 2 vs. Patriots
The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off their 2022 season with a fairly surprising win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Not many folks were expecting the Steelers, who switched out their quarterback this offseason, to beat the AFC’s representative in the most recent Super Bowl. But their defense stifled Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense, and Mitch Trubisky and the Steelers offense did just enough to pull out a win.
Next on the schedule for the Steelers is a matchup with the New England Patriots. The Patriots aren’t the super power team they once were, but with Bill Belichick still at the controls, they can never be taken lightly. That will be important to remember considering New England is coming off a tough season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins.
The Steelers played well in Week 1, but it’s clear they have some holes that they need to patch up moving forward. In order for that to happen, some players are going to have to step up and play better than they did in Week 1. Let’s take a look at three such players who are going to have to step up for Pittsburgh if they want to beat New England in Week 2.
3. Najee Harris
Najee Harris picked up a foot injury in the Steelers win over the Bengals and was forced to leave the game early. But after assuring reporters he would be good to go for Week 2 against the Patriots, Harris logged a full participation in practice for the Steelers yesterday, clearing his name from the injury report.
It’s clear Harris is going to have to be better than he was in Week 1, though. He picked up just 26 total yards on 12 touches, and while he did score the Steelers only offensive touchdown, his efficiency was putrid. The injury didn’t help matters, but Harris is being counted on to be a workhorse running back for Pittsburgh, and he ended up getting out produced on the ground by wide receiver Chase Claypool in Week 1.
The Patriots defense has some holes that can be exposed in the front seven, and if Pittsburgh wants to win this game, they are going to need Harris to find those holes. When he gets going he’s tough to stop, and it will be interesting to see if he’s fully recovered from the injury he picked up in Week 1. But without a strong showing from Najee Harris, the Steelers won’t stand a chance against New England.
2. Malik Reed
The Steelers were hoping Malik Reed could be a solid situational pass rusher when they picked him up from the Denver Broncos this offseason, but he didn’t make much of an impact in Week 1. He played only 32 percent of the Steelers defensive snaps, and picked up just a single tackle on the day.
With T.J. Watt out for the next few weeks, though, Reed is going to be thrust into a bigger role starting immediately in Week 2. Losing Watt’s all-around defensive skillset hurts, but the hope is that Reed will be able to fill in for him and create pressure on opposing quarterbacks while he’s on the sideline. Reed’s ability to do so could determine whether or not the Steelers can stay afloat in Watt’s absence.
Pittsburgh has other pass rushers, such as Cameron Heyward and Alex Highsmith (who racked up three sacks in Week 1) to help out here, but Reed is going to have to show up now that he’s set for a bigger role. New England’s offensive line didn’t look great to open the season, so there’s a chance that Reed could end up making a big impact in his first game filling in for Watt.
1. Mitch Trubisky
It’s easy to say that Mitch Trubisky had a good debut with the Steelers because they won, but truthfully, he was mediocre throughout the day. The defense led the way with five turnovers, and without that contribution, the Bengals probably steamroll the Steelers in Week 1. Trubisky didn’t really have to do much, and when he did, he barely did enough to pull out a game that shouldn’t have even had to go to overtime in the first place.
Pittsburgh’s defense is not going to force five turnovers every game, and when they don’t, Trubisky is going to have to step up and do what it takes to win games for the Steelers. The Patriots are not going to be a pushover despite their listless Week 1 outing; Trubisky is going to have to play better immediately in Week 2.
It will help if he gets some more support from Najee Harris, but there are going to be times when Trubisky will have to make big throws to keep the Steelers offense moving down the field. He didn’t really do that in Week 1 and got away with it. He may be able to get away with it again in Week 2 against the Patriots depending on how they play, but it’s clear Pittsburgh needs better production from Trubisky than they got in Week 1.

Friday letters: Demons are back, missed opportunities, Harmon for Clerk
Demon football is back
Glenwood Springs High School football is back! After the last four years of suffering through primitive, uninteresting, talent-wasting football, it’s great to have a return to exciting football.
In case you missed it, the Demons beat Rifle … in Rifle! It was a dogfight of a game, but the Demons took control when they needed to. Their defense is lights-out vicious and well-coached. They set the tone for their team and that game. When the game was on the line — twice — that defense stepped up and took the ball away from Rifle.
If the offense finds a way to become consistent and round out to what it can be, based on their talent, they will be special. They have the potential to be explosive, but high school football succeeds when they control the ball and sustain drives. This should be a fun squad to watch in the postseason.
There may just be a new sheriff in town in Western Slope football, and it might just be the Demons of Glenwood Springs. If you are a football fan, jump on the Demon’s bandwagon and get to the games. Football is back and fun again!
Pedro Navaja, Glenwood Springs
Missed traffic-calming opportunities
Glenwood’s traffic problems are self-inflicted. Missed opportunities due to the misconception by Grand Avenue merchants that “more traffic means more business.” Not, as a matter of fact, if Grand Avenue had been conceived as a downtown pedestrian mall, businesses would be thriving.
Three options, apart from micromanaging traffic speeds through town, are or were or could be, using the old Rio Grande railbed, elevating the highway above Grand Avenue to 13th Street or going underground, fully or partially, east or west of town — in a town that has few other options.
For those living on Grand between Ninth and 13th, trucks commuting in low gears up the Grand Avenue incline begins around five in the morning. Nice alarm clock. The point is, all that’s done so far is done out of lack of confidence and vision for the lack of a master plan and community image. Even the Green New Deal won’t change this.
Fred Stewart, Grand Junction

I highly support and recommend Jackie Harmon for Garfield County Clerk and Recorder. She is a huge asset to our community.

BERLIN (AP) — France sent a message on its way to grabbing a spot in the EuroBasket championship game.
Guerschon Yabusele scored 22 points, and France rolled past Poland 95-54 in the semifinals of the European championships on Friday.
“We just played our basketball,“ Yabusele said. “We were really good on defense and we were really aggressive. We made everything hard for them.”
The 41-point margin was the largest ever in a EuroBasket medal-round game played under the current tournament format, one more than 40-point wins posted by Croatia over Greece in the 1993 bronze-medal game and by the Soviet Union over Poland in the 1967 semifinals.
Elle Okobo and Evan Fournier each had 10 points in a rare easy one for France, which had outscored opponents by a total of 11 points in its first seven games of the tournament — plus won each of its last two contests in overtime, benefitting in both from missed free throws in the final moments by Turkey and Italy.
“We started the game with will and determination,“ France coach Vincent Collet said. “That is what made the difference.”
Next up for France: either Spain or host Germany, which were meeting in the late semifinal on Friday. The gold- and bronze-medal games are Sunday.
“We worked really hard to put ourselves in this position,“ said France center Rudy Gobert, who had six rebounds and three blocks. “Now we’ve got one more game to go. When we started preparations, the goal was to win the gold medal and now we’re in position to make it happen. So, one more game.”
Playing for gold represents the latest big chance for France, which captured its last major crown by winning EuroBasket in 2013. Since then, the French have won two bronzes at the World Cup (2014, 2019), a bronze at EuroBasket (2015) and silver at the delayed Tokyo Olympics that were contested in the summer of 2021.
Every stat Friday showed France’s dominance. It shot 62%, compared with 32% for Poland. France held a 40-21 edge in rebounding, a 22-9 edge in points off turnovers and a 40-16 advantage from points in the paint.
“Like a lot of games in this tournament, it could go south, it could go north,“ Poland coach Igor Milicic said. “This game went south.”
A.J. Slaughter and Michal Michalak led Poland — which made the semifinals by upsetting defending champion Slovenia 90-87 on Wednesday — with nine points apiece. It was Poland’s third loss of the tournament, all coming in blowouts. The others were a 30-point defeat to Finland and a 29-point loss to Serbia in the group stage.
“We tip our hats off to France,“ said Slaughter, a Kentucky-born guard who helped Western Kentucky to upset wins as a No. 12 seed in both the 2008 and 2009 NCAA tournaments. “They played a really good game tonight. ... But we still have our heads high. We still have a medal game on Sunday. We’ll come back, play with pride and see if we can leave here with a medal.”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian gunmen opened fire on Israeli troops near a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank Wednesday, killing an Israeli army officer, the Israeli military said. Palestinian officials said that troops killed the gunmen.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said that two Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army, without providing additional details.
The military said soldiers spotted two individuals approaching the separation barrier in the northern West Bank and that it dispatched soldiers to the area. It said the two suspects were armed with automatic weapons and began shooting at troops, who returned fire.
The Israeli army confirmed that Maj. Bar Falah, 30, was killed by the gunmen in the shootout.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the Israeli army was holding the bodies of the two men. It identified them as Ahmad Abed, 23, and Abd al-Rahman Abed, 22, both from a village near the city of Jenin.
The Israeli military confirmed that Ahmad Abed was a member of the Palestinian Authority security services.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas praised the attack, hailing the two gunmen as “heroic martyrs.”
Wednesday’s violence was the latest in a long string of incidents involving deadly confrontations between soldiers and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent months, particularly around the city of Jenin, which has become a bastion for armed struggle against Israel.
Israel has been carrying out nightly arrest raids in West Bank cities, towns and villages since a spate of attacks against Israelis in the spring killed 19 people.
Israeli fire has killed scores of Palestinians during that time, making it the deadliest year in the occupied territory since 2016.
The Israeli military says the vast majority of those killed were militants or stone-throwers who endangered the soldiers. But several civilians have also been killed during Israel’s monthslong operation, including a veteran journalist and a lawyer who apparently drove unwittingly into a battle zone. Some local youths who took to the streets in response to the invasion of their neighborhoods have also been killed.
Israel says the arrest raids are meant to dismantle militant networks that have embedded themselves. The Palestinians say the operations are aimed at maintaining Israel’s 55-year military occupation of territories they want for an independent state.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians seek those territories for a future state.

Jeopardy! execs reveal celebrity contestant gets cut off from finishing final question on upcoming spinoff show
JEOPARDY! has revealed they faced an issue while taping their upcoming celebrity spinoff as an A-lister contestant was cut off from finishing their final response.
This comes after a controversial Season 38 judgment that left fans in an uproar and Ken Jennings’ "massive mistreatment" between two players during Season 39.
Mayim, 46, will be solo-hosting Celebrity Jeopardy! starting September 25th - which will air on Sundays and not interfere with regular episodes.
Jeopardy! has taped the first batch of the glitzy game show spinoff, but they said an issue with a ruling has come up again.
On Monday's "Inside Jeopardy!" podcast, Executive Producer Mike Davies was joined by producer and "Clue Crew" member Sarah Foss - who hosts the weekly show with him.
The two producers brought up how taping the first episodes went - apparently they want to get ahead of another problem.
'WE HAD AN ISSUE'
EP Davies said on Monday: "We actually had this issue [of a player being cut off] on one of the Celebrity [Jeopardy!] episodes.
"I'm not going to say who it was but I will say we had this issue again."
He continued: "So you know, we see in control - we see the writing [of the Final Jeopardy clue] live as it's going in.
"And we know when the clock count so we know when the clock has cut them off from finishing their answer."
Most read in Entertainment
Producer Foss said, particularly about Final Jeopardy when the game-cementing last answer is handwritten:
"And we see when their stylus stops working. So even if our contestants have continued to try to write, nothing is gonna show up on the screen."
EP Davies added: "There's a difference between an intent and the incomplete answer, we allow phonetic spelling within reason but we do ask you to complete your answer."
"And this was clearly an incomplete answer but we are delighted she [Sadie Goldberger] is coming back for the second chance tournament.
Celebrity Jeopardy! will feature 27 celebrities quietly being rolled out vying for $1M for charity and a new Triple Jeopardy round.
SEASON 38 SNUB
During Season 38, favorite Sadie Goldberger's loss to Megan Wachpress on June 20th came down to the judges' ruling that her otherwise correct Final Jeopardy response of "Harriet Tubman" was "incomplete".
Hundreds felt Sadie was robbed as she would have won had the show ruled in her favor - and were left upset calling it the season's "most painful loss".
It all kicked off with the Final Jeopardy! clue: "Congratulating her on the 1869 release of her biography, Frederick Douglass wrote, 'I have wrought in the day- you in the night."
After a short time, contestant Molly Fleming correctly answered, "Who is Harriet Tubman," adding $3,200 to her winnings for a total of $6,500.
Then-champ Megan answered correctly as well to increase her final game total to $17,199.
Sadie also appeared to have the same answer in mind; however, judges off-camera decided she didn't write it out in full.
Mayim Bialik- who is permanently sharing hosting duties with Ken Jennings - said: "It looks like you were going for 'Harriet Tubman,' but you did not finish, so, unfortunately, that is not going to be acceptable."
Sadie nodded in agreement but seemed to look disappointed in the results.
She ended up wagering $7,500, which would have given her a grand total of 17,300 if her answer was accepted, which would have made her the new champ over Megan.
Sadie has scored a comeback since she will be participating in the Second Chance Tournament in October.
KEN-TROVERSY
But when to allow a response or not - though not during Final Jeopardy necessarily - has also had a second coming making national news again.
Wednesday night, Ken's rulings came under fire on nearly every social media platform when he went different ways on two answers.
Viewers said Ken seemed to be more lenient toward male reigning Luigi than to another player, Harriet, after two respective stumbled responses.
During Luigi's clue, a painting flashed across the screen and the champ buzzed in: "Who is: Constant?", he uttered.
Ken then prompted him to repeat himself - the host replied: "Say it again."
Luigi shook his head and corrected himself, accurately answering the second time: "I'm sorry. Who is Constable? Constable."
The category was "Cons," which meant every answer would start with "Cons."
"[John] Constable is..." Ken said with a pause: "Correct. That takes you to $6200.
However, later in the show, when contestant Harriet Wagner answered that the fantasy author of "Always Coming Home" was "Angela LeGuin" before attempting to correct her answer to Ursula LeGuin, she was interrupted by Jennings.
"No," he said, before allowing de Guzman to give the correct answer.
"Yes, Harriet, you remembered that her name was Ursula but I had already begun ruling against you when you began correcting yourself."
Luigi won with only $700 separating him from Harriet and $100 between her and second-place finisher Winston Li.
'MISOGYNY?'
One furious fan of many wrote on Twitter: "Luigi should have repeated his original, wrong, answer."
Another fumed: "Even the 'best' hosts make horrible mistakes in allowing Luigi the opportunity to correct his answer!"
"Wow, is @jeopardy fixed? Why is Luigi allowed to correct himself, but Harriet isn't?" wrote a third
And a fourth: "#Jeopardy why did Ken Jennings let one contestant (male) change a wrong answer, but ruled against another (female), even though she said the correct answer within the time limit? Tonight's episode was an unfair runaway because of that ruling on the last answer in double jeopardy."
"That was totally unfair and Ken Jennings (and the ‘judges’) were absolutely wrong not to give her credit for a correct answer. Is the #misogyny from #Jeopardy? Sure looks like it!" even a fifth fumed.
"Ken, you blew it big time! Luigi was wrong! Harriet was correct, in time!" another chided.
The official Jeopardy! website states that "Contestants may change their responses as long as neither the host nor the judges have made a ruling."
On Reddit, a viewer in the audience said judges intervened during the commercial break on both rulings but did not change either.
Though one game involved Final Jeopardy and the other Ken's judging on clues in earlier rounds, fans have become furious and confused over the shut-downs of the two female players.

Cal Fire spokesman: Mosquito Fire "looking a whole heck of a lot better"
FORESTHILL — Firefighters again prevented flames from entering Foresthill and reported major progress Thursday against the week-old blaze that's become the largest in the state so far this year.
Conditions at the Mosquito Fire about 110 miles (177 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco were "looking a whole heck of a lot better," according to fire spokesman Scott McLean.
Crews on the ground built up containment lines while water-dropping helicopters knocked down hotspots after the fire roared back to life on Tuesday, burning structures near Foresthill.
"It's looking really good on the west end where we had that dramatic increase of fire earlier this week," McLean said Thursday. Flames raced up a drainage ditch into a neighborhood, but firefighters saved all the homes.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in its history.
Evacuation orders remained for some 11,000 residents because of the unpredictable nature of the winds, McLean said, which typically blow in the direction of several canyons and could rapidly spread flames if gusts pick up.
The Mosquito Fire was 20% contained after destroying at least 70 homes and other buildings. The nearly 106-square-mile (nearly 274-square-kilometer) blaze on Wednesday surpassed the size of the previous largest conflagration in 2022 - the McKinney Fire - although this season has seen a fraction of last year's wildfire activity so far.
In Southern California, dogs aided the hunt for a person missing in a heavily damaged area of the San Bernardino Mountains where thunderstorms unleashed rocks, trees and earth that washed away cars, buried homes and affected 3,000 residents in two remote communities. Nearly 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain fell Monday at Yucaipa Ridge between Oak Glen, home to apple orchards that are a fall tourist destination, and Forest Falls, once a summer getaway for cabin owners that has become a bedroom community.
"This entire area is blanketed with up to 6 feet (1.83 meters) of mud, debris, large boulders" said Jim Topelski, a San Bernardino County fire chief,
The mudslide damage in Oak Glen and Forest Falls served as a powerful warning to residents of the lingering damage wildfires can cause months or even years after flames are extinguished and the smoke clears.
An intense amount of rain even over a short period of time can have catastrophic effects on hillsides where fire has stripped vegetation that once held the ground intact.
The Mosquito Fire was one of three large fires in the state.
The Fairview Fire was burning about 75 miles (121 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. The 44-square-mile (114-square-kilometer) blaze was 84% contained Thursday. Two people died fleeing the fire, which destroyed at least 35 homes and other structures in Riverside County.

The leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) on Friday endorsed the holy city of Varanasi as the first ever tourist and cultural capital of the grouping for the year 2022-23.
Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra said this at a media briefing.
The Indian delegation at the SCO summit in this historic Uzbek city of Samarkand was led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Uzbekistan handed over the rotating presidency of the grouping to India for the year 2022-23.
"Prime Minister Modi thanked all the member states for endorsing Varanasi as the first ever SCO tourist and cultural capital during the upcoming year 2022-23," Kwatra said.
"This is a befitting recognition of the historic city and opens the door for greater cultural and people-to-people ties between India and the region," he said.
The foreign secretary said several events would be organised by the Uttar Pradesh government in collaboration with the Centre to celebrate this recognition of Varanasi.
Kwatra said the SCO also decided to set up a special working group on start-ups and innovation at India's initiative. India would be its permanent chair, he said.
The summit also decided to give permanent membership of SCO to Belarus and Iran.
The SCO was founded at a summit in Shanghai in 2001 by the presidents of Russia, China, the Kyrgyz Republic, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Over the years, it has emerged as one of the largest trans-regional international organisations. India and Pakistan became its permanent members in 2017.

The German Problem
A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: The naked pressure tactics on display at the most recent gathering of the German ‘Synodal Path’ are completely alien to the healthy functioning of a collegial and fraternal Church — essentially, they betray the concept of synodality itself.
The latest developments with respect to Germany’s increasingly disastrous “Synodal Path” are way beyond troubling. In fact, the local Church in Western Europe’s most populous and economically powerful nation has now veered to the brink of formal schism.
Consider what has happened this month: Germany’s Catholic bishops, and the lay Catholic delegates who are participating on an equal footing with them in the Synodal Path process, approved documents that called for endorsement of homosexuality and transgenderism and advocated for the ordination of women — in blatant contradiction to what the Church teaches regarding these matters of morals and faith.
The delegates also formally approved the creation of a permanent Synodal Council that would supersede episcopal authority over some of the most fundamental aspects of the Church’s life in every diocese in Germany — in blatant contradiction to Catholic ecclesiology.
And when pushback came from a minority of the country’s Catholic bishops, who voted in sufficient numbers to prevent approval of another document that openly and sweepingly dissented from Church teachings on sexuality, the progressivist majority reacted with outrage. A faction of the delegates marched showily out of the meeting hall in protest, and Bishop Georg Bätzing, chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference and the co-chairman of the Synodal Path, signalled his full-throated support by insisting the document should be viewed as having been approved and promising to present it personally to the attention of the Vatican during the German bishops’ upcoming ad limina visit in November. The charade shows the duplicity of the whole German Synodal Path. For this group, synodality, defined in short as “journeying together,” only matters when it moves forward its own agenda of dissent.
After the losing vote, the Synodal Path broke its own rules in order to dispense with the provision for secret ballots when voting on documents. The intent of this procedural manipulation was obvious: Going forward, the dominant progressives intend to “name and shame” any orthodox bishops and lay delegates who remain brave enough to stand up against the tidal wave of dissent in Germany. The maneuver had its hoped-for chilling effect. Only a small minority of delegates were willing to cast their ballots against the other controversial documents when they subsequently came up for votes.
Such naked pressure tactics are completely alien to the healthy functioning of a collegial and fraternal Church. Equally alien is the new so-called Synodal Council, as it breaks decisively with the Church’s episcopal structure that was instituted by Jesus himself. Indeed, the proposed council has been denounced as anti-Christian by German Cardinal Walter Kasper, the president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, who warned in June that it resembled the communist government structures in the Soviet Union.
Cardinal Kasper can’t be dismissed by Synodal Path supporters as a “knee-jerk traditionalist,” given that he was the cardinal who floated the possibility of reception of Communion for divorced-and-remarried Catholics in early 2014, following the election of Pope Francis.
So it’s obviously false to claim that strong opposition to the course being charted by Germany’s dissenting Church leaders is confined to “conservative” Catholic leaders. Well ahead of this latest session of the Synodal Path, in fact, a broad range of bishops from around the globe had already publicly warned against the potentially disastrous consequences of the events now unfolding in Germany.
The most significant caution of all was delivered by Pope Francis himself in 2019: He wrote a letter to Catholics in Germany in the context of their Synodal Path discussions, warning against “preconceived schemes and mechanisms that end in alienation or limitation” of the Church’s fundamental mission of evangelization after it first became apparent that unrelated ideological agendas were driving the process.
The German Church leaders pressing forward the Synodal Path have completely ignored this papal instruction, as well as several even more strongly worded communiqués from other senior Vatican leaders, including a July 2022 statement that warned the German process was not authorized to “oblige the bishops and the faithful to adopt new forms of governance and new orientations of doctrine and morals.”
The dissenting group of Germans are gambling that, by couching their dissenting agendas as being “synodal” expressions of the majority will of local Catholics, they will be able to persuade the rest of the Church to allow their grave breaches of Church doctrine and practice to stand without correction. Further, they appear to be banking that these agendas will be embraced by Pope Francis and the Synod on Synodality, when that global process concludes next year in October in Rome.
The prospect that this German misinterpretation of “synodality” might prevail in next year’s discussions was one of the main reasons that a number of cardinals raised the issue of the term’s correct definition during their recent consistory in Rome. These cardinals are determined to get clarity on the matter to ensure that the outcome next year is constructive for the Church and its evangelical priorities, not destructive.
This awareness within the College of Cardinals about the damaging developments in Germany, and the very real possibility that progressives might attempt to “hijack” the Synod on Synodality in order to advance their cause nationally and internationally, is a positive sign. Another is that there are still many courageous German bishops, like Cardinal Rainer Woelki of Cologne and Bishop Rudolph Voderholzer of Regensburg, who continue to publicly stand up for Catholic truth against the Synodal Path’s secularist agenda.
From the Synodal Path’s outset, its leaders have tried to market their plans as necessary antidotes to the plague of clergy sexual abuse. It’s now inescapably clear that they’ve never been primarily interested in addressing the abuse crisis. Instead, the plan has always been to utilize the issue as an instrument to push the same tired secular and relativist ideas that members of this German faction (aided and abetted by progressive Catholics in Europe and in the United States) have promoted for decades.
Pope Francis provided a papal corrective to some of these ideas when he discarded German-inspired calls during the 2019 Amazon Synod for the ordination of married men and women deacons from his subsequent post-synodal apostolic exhortation, Querida Amazonia.
While we do not know what private discussions may now be taking place between the Holy See and the leaders of the Church in Germany, it is hard to see how this perilous situation can be resolved without the direct intervention of Pope Francis.
In light of all this, we should renew our prayers that the eyes of Bishop Bätzing and the other wayward leaders of the German Synodal Path will be opened to God’s truth before they do irreparable damage to German Catholics by breaking definitively from communion with the rest of the Church. And we can also pray that the Holy Spirit continues to fortify the resolve of the Holy Father and our other shepherds to keep the Church centered on its fundamental mission of proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world.
God bless you!

Julie Hoover, Perry, Florida teacher at Point of Grace Christian School arrested for twerking on student at prom. Previously arrested earlier in summer for sexting with student.
‘I let the devil in…’ A former teacher at a Christian high school in Florida previously arrested for sexting with a student was arrested again after allegedly twerking on a student at prom.
Julie Kinsey Hoover, 38, who used to teach at Point of Grace Christian School in Perry, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with soliciting or engaging in lewd conduct with a student as an authority figure along with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to police records obtained by WCTV.
The educator’s newest arrest follows Hoover being arrested and charged back in June with one count of an authority figure soliciting or engaging in sex with a student after allegedly exchanging explicit messages with an 18-year-old senior student.
The newest charges come after a student told investigators Hoover twerked on him and pressured him to drink alcohol at his high school prom on April 8.
Randy Maubach, a school administrator, ‘advised that staff did in fact have alcohol to drink that night that was stored in the back room.’
‘Let the Devil in’
The victim told investigators he became so uncomfortable while Hoover twerked on him that other students tried to squeeze in between the then-teacher and the boy several times to try to get her to stop. At least two students who stepped in corroborated the incident, WCTV reported.
According to the most recent arrest affidavit, Hoover had a phone call after the twerking episode with another student’s mother — as law enforcement listened in — and admitted she ‘Let the Devil in’ at prom.
The affidavit also documented the underage student saying Hoover coerced him to drink at the prom, including forcing the straw from her alcoholic beverage into his mouth.
It was unclear if the student with whom Hoover had allegedly been exchanging explicit messages is the same boy who brought forth the twerking allegations.
The initial sexting incident was brought to the attention of police on June 2 when the student’s mother discovered sexually charged messages (do you suppose…?) between her son and Hoover from a period stretching between March and April.
The concerned mom told investigators that the former math teacher was arranging to have her son come to her home while her husband was at work, according to court documents.
After Hoover’s latest arrest, the Point of Grace Christian School reportedly confirmed that the suspect is a ‘former teacher’ and said the school has cooperated with the law enforcement investigation.
Merriam-Webster defines twerking as ‘sexually suggestive dancing characterized by rapid, repeated hip thrusts and shaking of the buttocks especially while squatting.’ Indeed.

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

NEW YORK (AP) — Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver was likely spared even stronger sanctioning by the NBA for his racist, misogynistic and hostile words and actions because of one key conclusion by investigators, Commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday.
The law firm that spent nearly a year digging into the situation determined Sarver’s use of slurs “was not motivated by racial animus.”
Had that not been the case, Silver indicated, Sarver’s punishment — a one-year suspension and $10 million fine — would have been far more severe.
“It was relevant,” Silver said after the league’s Board of Governors meetings concluded. “I think if they had made findings that, in fact, his conduct was motivated by racial animus, absolutely that would have had an impact on on the ultimate outcome here. But that’s not what they found.”
And that, to Silver, is one of the key distinctions between the Sarver case and the one surrounding then-Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling in 2014, when he was banned for life and fined $2.5 million for racist comments.
Some players, Silver said, have reached out to him to voice concerns. Silver said he would keep the details of those conversations private.
But LeBron James — obviously, one of the league’s most prominent player voices ever — took his concerns public Wednesday night, tweeting that the NBA did not go far enough with Sarver.
“I gotta be honest…Our league definitely got this wrong,” James tweeted to his 52 million followers. “I don’t need to explain why. Y’all read the stories and decide for yourself. I said it before and I’m gonna say it again, there is no place in this league for that kind of behavior.
“I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership. But this isn’t right. There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place. Don’t matter if you own the team or play for the team. We hold our league up as an example of our values and this aint it,” he wrote.
Suns point guard Chris Paul echoed James’ sentiment later Wednesday.
“Like many others, I reviewed the report,” Paul wrote on social media. “I was and am horrified and disappointed by what I read. This conduct especially towards women is unacceptable and must never be repeated. … I am of the view that the sanctions fell short in truly addressing what we can all agree was atrocious behavior. My heart goes out to all of the people that were affected.”
The NBA had the option of giving Sarver a longer ban than the one-year suspension. The $10 million fine was the maximum allowable, as was the case with Sterling’s $2.5 million fine eight years ago; NBA rules on maximum fines were changed in 2019.
Another reason Silver, who was the ultimate decider of the penalty in this case, stopped short of suspending Sarver for longer or even banning him: He said he took into account a number of anonymous details that could not be revealed in the investigative report that was published Tuesday, along with other elements of Sarver’s actions in his 18 years owning the Suns and the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.
“There were these terrible things,” Silver said. “There are also many, many people with very positive things to say about him through this process. And ultimately, I took all of that into account in making the decision that the one-year suspension plus the fine was appropriate.”
A 10-month investigation into Sarver’s behavior confirmed he had used racist language, made sexually inappropriate comments, left some employees — male and female — feeling uncomfortable with his words and actions, and took part in what would be considered workplace bullying.
“Indefensible is not strong enough,” Silver said.
But the league did not have discussions about removing Sarver as owner during the Board of Governors meetings. Silver permanently banned Sterling after tapes of him making racist comments were leaked to TMZ in a move that started the process of Sterling being forced to sell the franchise.
“This case is very different,” Silver said. “It’s not that one was captured on tape and the other isn’t. … Mr. Sarver ultimately acknowledged his behavior.”
Sarver did, and issued an apology Tuesday, though noted he did not agree with all of the report’s findings.
Silver was asked about how most employees of any company would likely face firings if they were to use racial slurs or partake in lewd actions or comments in the way that the investigation showed that Sarver did.
“It’s hard to make those comparisons to somebody who commits an inappropriate act in the workplace in somewhat of an anonymous fashion versus what is a huge public issue now around this person,” Silver said. “There’s no neat answer here, other than the rights that come with owning an NBA team, how that is set up within our Constitution. What it would take to remove that team from his control is a very involved process, and it’s different than holding a job. It just is. When you actually own a team, it’s just a very different proposition.”
A difference between the Sterling and Sarver cases is this: Sarver cooperated with the league’s investigation and Sterling, in many ways, did not. Sterling wound up suing the NBA for $1 billion in federal court after his lifetime ban was announced, saying his constitutional rights were violated.
The report said Sarver “repeated or purported to repeat the N-word on at least five occasions spanning his tenure with the Suns.”
“However, the investigation does not find that Sarver’s conduct in any of these instances was motivated by racial animus,” the report read, adding that investigators made “no finding that Sarver used this racially insensitive language with the intent to demean or denigrate.”
The Sterling investigation — from when the audio tapes of him making racist remarks to a girlfriend were released, to Silver’s announcement of the lifetime ban — took three days. The Sarver probe took 100 times longer, involved more than 320 interviews and the review of more than 80,000 documents and other materials.
Both investigations were handled by the same New York-based firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz. Attorney David Anders led both probes.
Sarver will be welcomed back in 2023, though Silver made clear that his words and actions going forward will be highly scrutinized.
“I don’t have the right to take away his team,” Silver said. “I don’t want to rest on that legal point because of course there could be a process to take away someone’s team in this league. It’s very involved, and I ultimately made the decision that it didn’t rise to that level. But to me, the consequences are severe here on Mr. Sarver.”
Sarver’s punishment is also similar to others levied in past high-profile examples of wrongdoing, either words, actions or both.
In 1993, then-Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott was fined $25,000 and suspended one year for making “racially and ethnically offensive remarks.” And last year, the NFL fined the Washington Commanders $10 million, plus investigative fees, after a probe found the team’s workplace environment for women was, in the words of Commissioner Roger Goodell, “highly unprofessional” — but stopped short of suspending owner Daniel Snyder.

“The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will be an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation to extend human presence to the Moon and beyond.”—NASA, August 19, 2022
Even though we’ve searched the cosmos for decades, Earth remains the only planet that we know can sustain us. Possibly because we modern humans have very specific needs that are difficult to source in our universe. Here are some things that scientists look for when determining if a planet can support modern-day human life.
Have we discovered bottled water on its surface?
Water is essential for life, but some of us absolutely will not drink filtered tap water from an ancient frozen lake.
Does the atmosphere have stable cell-phone reception?
A must. Real-world tests have shown that contemporary Homo sapiens without at least a 3G signal can survive for a few minutes at most. If a planet has reception, it may also contain traces of Wi-Fi.
Is the terrain even enough to drive on?
The adage “I can’t live without my car” is biologically sound and attributed to Charles Darwin. Luckily, most planets can support at least a few hatchbacks and drive-through restaurants. Parking can be a pain, though.
Can the planet support indoor plants?
This is mostly for the good vibes. But, you have to admit, plants do liven up the place. The question then becomes whether the humans on the planet are capable of supporting the plants. Preliminary studies aren’t encouraging.
Does the planet rotate around a star in such a way that we can complain about daylight-saving time?
Light from a nearby star is critical, but apparently so is changing the clocks twice a year on our home appliances and whining about it.
Can we bring dogs?
It’s not sustainable for humans if it’s not sustainable for dogs. Not sustainable for normal humans, anyway. Also, how cute would dogs be in little space helmets? Answer: very, and that’s a scientific fact, like thermodynamics.

Just because you >can< render an animated classic into a live-action CGI extravaganza doesn’t mean that you should. Case in point, PINOCCHIO. It’s not an awful film but bringing the animated characters into the real world doesn’t add anything to the story of a little wooden puppet who dreams of being a real boy. Rather, it points up what is most charming about animation’s ability to suspend belief. Take Geppetto, the woodcarver who created the puppet from pine, and whose wish brought Pinocchio to life. As a cartoon accompanied by his loyal cat, Figaro, and schlepping his equally faithful goldfish, Cleo, out into a dark and stormy night to search for Pinocchio when he goes missing is poignant and funny with water almost cascading from the bowl, goldfish aloft like a champion surfer. Tom Hanks doing it, no matter how skillful the CGI involved in that sloshing goldfish bowl, isn’t. It’s just odd. Not to detract from Mr. Hanks’ performance as a lonely old man mourning his lost son. He is a virtuoso in playing our heartstrings with his branded tear-and-a-smile courage in the face of catastrophic loss. And that’s a testament to the problem. If Hanks can’t sell it, it probably shouldn’t be on offer.
This is, however, a triumph for the CGI itself. It’s epic. Pinocchio (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) is a near perfect facsimile of his hand-drawn incarnation, complete with gears that creak just a little when he moves. (He would be perfect if they had imagined a better way to depict him with his eyes closed, when nose to hairline goes completely blank.) From Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy warbling “When You Wish Upon A Star” wreathed in sinuously roiling gossamer wings, to smoke monsters with glowing eyes dispatching children-turned-donkeys on Pleasure Island, to the sea monster that swallows our heroes, it is eye-filling as well as eye-popping. Pleasure Island itself is a gaudy light show of immense proportions and imagination. It is also a hotbed of extended violence. Blue Fairy aside, Pinocchio is very dark and very scary. One frets about the effect on the smaller tykes, who are the target for this story, which is sweet when not being terrifying, but not sophisticated or particularly witty. Questioning whether it’s better to be real or famous, or a crack by Jiminy Cricket (Joseph Gordon-Levitt in full cornpone mode) about charcuterie, notwithstanding.
Pinocchio still has to prove his worthiness to the Blue Fairy in order to become a real boy. He still has a penchant for innocently getting into very big trouble. Jiminy Cricket is still his conscience. But there has been a conscious effort to update the story with a few new songs that are catchy, and the cast is refreshingly multicultural, giving Pinocchio being booted out of school on his first day for not being human a resonance of prejudice not necessarily present in the original. The addition of a screechy-voiced seagull character, Sophia (Lorraine Bracco) does no harm. I’m relieved to note that some of the best bits are retained despite the temptations that CGI affords. Pinocchio’s nose still grows the same way when he lies, and a shadow is used to show the final metamorphosis from boy to donkey. That last was Val Lewton before Val Lewton and it’s still got the right eeriness for adults and kids.
PINOCCHIO has great energy surrounding it, and a perfectly wonderful voice performance by Ainsworth, who is Hanks’ equal when projecting stalwartly non-ironic sincerity. Most remarkably, dare one say bravely?, it has a twist that the original didn’t, and maybe couldn’t have had. You will probably see it coming, but I think that was intended. It places this iteration of the story squarely in and of our time. Whether it’s an improvement (or a cynical ploy for sequels) is up to you.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya is going through one of the finest phases of his career. After recovering from an acute back injury, he has been on a roll this year. He made a stunning comeback in the IPL 2022, leading his team Gujarat Titans to a maiden title victory, that too, in the debut season. Since then, there was no looking back for Pandya as he cemented his place back in the Indian team as a match-winner. At the recently-concluded Asia Cup too, the 27-year-old showed how crucial he is to the Indian team when he fashioned a five-wicket win over Pakistan in the tournament opener.
Former England fast bowler Tim Bresnan has heaped massive praise on Pandya, stating that a quality all-rounder comes as a two ‘cricketer in one’.
“Definitely, a pace bowling all-rounder is quite crucial, it balances your team, it gives you two cricketers in one," Bresnan, who is representing LNJ Bhilwara Kings in the second edition of Legends League Cricket here, told PTI in an interaction.
Pandya has battled injury in the past and the team think-tank is mindful of his workload management, giving him rest for the upcoming T20I series in South Africa. Bresnan remarked that it was because of the demanding nature of his position.
“It’s a tough position to play because you are always involved in the game, so it’s quite demanding physically. Fast bowling all-rounders are worth the weight in gold. Hardik is really good on the field as well, he’s a very good athlete. He’s got to mature a bit more, then he is going to be a top, top player," Bresnan added.
Bresnan has not followed the Asia Cup and India’s early exit but picked the Rohit Sharma-led side as one of the semifinal contenders alongside Australia, New Zealand, and England for the T20 world Cup.
“You can’t discount India ever… But I think England, Australia and New Zealand probably are the three favourites. But India and Pakistan have the same chance and Sri Lanka have done really well in the Asia Cup, so you never know, whoever brings on the day," Bresnan said.

A man who claimed he was sexually abused by a Catholic Priest almost 50 years ago has settled his High Court damages action for €350,000.
In his judgement on Friday Mr Justice Garrett Simons approved the settlement of the now 60-year-old man personal injuries claim, who currently resides in the UK, against The Sacred Heart Missionary Education Trust and his alleged abuser.
The case was settled by the Trust, without an admission of liability by either of the defendants.
The man claimed that he was sexually abused by a priest who taught at a secondary school operated by the Trust.
The alleged abuse was said to have occurred during the mid 1970's when the complainant was a pupil at the school and aged in his teens.
As a result of the alleged abuse the man had sued the defendants' seeking damages for the personal injuries, he claims he suffered.
The claims were denied, and the action had been opposed on grounds including that the claim against the defendants was statue barred.
The Trust also argued that it was not vicariously liable for any actions alleged committed by the priest.
The Trust had further claimed that the fact the man had been sexually abused by other persons not associated with the school had also to be taken into account.
It argued that these abusers were "concurrent wrongdoers" and that is failure to pursue them had legal consequences.
Due to a medical condition which causes the man to struggle with his memory and attention, he cannot be identified for legal reasons.
In his decision the judge said that settlement had come before him because the man lacks the capacity to provide instructions in respect of his claim or manage his own affairs.
The man is currently detained at a mental health facility in England, and the subject of various orders made by the English courts, the judge noted.
As a result of his medical condition, which became problematic after he launched his personal injury action, his proceedings were amended and were eventually brought on his behalf by his 'next friend' which in this case was his sister.
In approving the settlement Mr Justice Simons said that had the case gone to trial there was "a strong likelihood" the action would have been dismissed.
The Judge said that it appeared that the claim was statute barred, and because of the plaintiff's mental health he was not competent to provide sworn evidence in the proceedings.
Given the circumstances the settlement was an excellent one from the plaintiff's perspective, the judge said, adding that there was no realistic prospect of the man getting a larger sum that what has been offered had the case gone to trial.
The settlement, the judge directed, is to be paid to the English local authority charged with managing the man's affairs.

- Valencia boss Gennaro Gattuso identified knock
- USMNT confirm groin injury
- Johnny Cardoso replaces Musah in squad
WHAT HAPPENED? Musah, a key midfielder under USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter, suffered a left groin problem in training with Valencia that Gattuso described as a minor tweak but will nonetheless keep the 19-year-old out of upcoming pre-World Cup friendlies against Japan and Saudi Arabia. Cardoso has been called into camp as his replacement despite just three career caps to his name.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Musah was in contention to start for Berhalter at the World Cup, and while he could still return in time to make the final roster, this is a significant worry for the USMNT. Musah has established himself a key part of the U.S. midfield, earning 19 caps as a teenager. He has two assists in five games with Valencia this season.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Kellyn Acosta, Tyler Adams, Luca de la Torre, Weston McKennie and Malik Tillman are the other midfielders at Berhalter’s disposal in the current roster, although forwards Brenden Aaronson, Gio Reyna and Paul Arriola are options as well given their ability to play deeper on the pitch.
WHAT THEY SAID: "Musah has a little discomfort and today he has not trained with the group," Gattuso told reporters on Friday. "He has a small injury and I don't know if he will be against Celta tomorrow."
IN THREE PHOTOS:
THE VERDICT: GOAL United States editor Dan Bernstein writes...
The USMNT only has the Japan and Saudi Arabia games to fine-tune details before their World Cup debut against Wales on November 21, meaning the loss of Musah at the very least cuts out valuable chemistry building time for the Stars and Stripes in the midfield. Berhalter will hope Musah can return to full fitness in plenty of time for the tournament in Qatar.
WHAT NEXT FOR MUSAH? The midfielder will remain in Spain to work with Valencia's medical team as he tries to recover as soon as possible. Expect another update from Gattuso next week.

OPINION:
I am puzzled by my choice of underpants. Bear with me.
I still find it indecent that men's underpants are openly on sale. I would prefer them to be sold under darkened wrapper, as condoms used to be by the barber. "Was there anything else today, sir?"
But no, underpants are wantonly displayed in shops so that both men and women can paw them, assess the cloth with a poulterer's pinch of finger and thumb, test the heft of the waistband, the thickness of the doubly protective parts. (I'm sorry if you have not yet breakfasted, but I am here to tell it as it is.)
Time was when underpants were simply and indivisibly underpants.
At infant school, around the time of Napoleon, we used to strip to our undies, boys and girls alike, to do vaguely callisthenic things in the school hall. And if you had looked around the hall as we transformed on instruction from curled up seeds, to seedlings, to plants that stretched for the ceiling - apart that is from the child who remained tightly coiled in the corner of the room refusing to germinate and who later developed some extraordinary psychological issues - you would have seen that every pair of knickers were as white as morning frost.
A few years later when I first started to play club cricket with men - though that, I realise with a shudder, is more than half a century ago - it became clear that men's underpants were also universally white - or at least they had begun life that way. Men wisely gave them little thought. Their underwear was as uniform as blue serge was in communist China.
But we live in the capitalist west and the signature note of capitalism is creating needless needs and then gratifying them. The means of doing so is advertising.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.(In the early 80s I travelled a little behind the Iron Curtain. It took me a while to realise that one cause of the sense of drabness was the absence of commercial advertising. "High above the gutter," wrote Larkin, "a silver knife sinks into golden butter". (But not in communist Czechoslovakia, it didn't. All you got there was gutter.)
When advertising first swung its attention onto men's underpants it pulled the usual stunt. It associated the underpants with youth and happiness and sex. Men fell for the fallacy like autumn leaves. Suddenly there were almost as many varieties of underwear for men as there are for women.
I embraced the coloured underpants but remained a traditionalist in design, favouring what became known as the brief. The new-fangled boxer short, it seemed to me, had design flaws, some of which I shall not go into on the pages of a family newspaper, but one of which was the tendency to ruche and gather. I do not like my underwear to ruche and gather.
I have, however, recently graduated from briefs to trunks. These stretch a little further down the thigh and offer welcome warmth in the cooler months. Whether I shall revert in summer I do not know, nor do I imagine that you greatly care.
A further innovation was the advent of visual designs: pictures of Mickey Mouse or racing cars; waistbands with prominent brand names. The purpose was not clear. Why put images where they would not be seen? It could hardly be to impress potential lovers; if one has reached the underpants stage there is no pausing for aesthetic appreciation.
And yet the use of motifs works. I can testify to it myself, for it is the root of my puzzlement and this column. A couple of years ago I went shopping for underpants and beheld a novelty pack of seven. They were plain and black except for the waistband, each of which was emblazoned with a different day of the week. Reader, I did not hesitate. I bought them on the spot.
I don't know why. I had not reached the stage where I don't know what day of the week it is. And if I had, a set of underpants would be no help. Nor did I mean to wear Monday pants on a Monday. Nor, emphatically, would I want to meet the sort of man who did. And yet I liked the things on sight.
So much so that I have since thrown out all previous underpants and bought two more packs of seven. My underwear drawer is now entirely hebdomadal. Every morning it's a lucky dip. I plunge a hand blindly into the drawer, pull out a day and if it's right I put it back. And the absurdity pleases me.

MURFREESBORO, Ark. (KARK) – An Arkansas man uncovered the Crater of Diamonds State Park’s 35,000th diamond registered since the opening of the park 50 years ago.
Park officials said that Scott Kreykes, of Dierks, has been visiting the diamond-loaded site for four years. On Sept. 6, he created another milestone in the state park’s history.
Kreykes spent the day at the park sifting dirt from the East Drain of the diamond search area, park officials said. After taking his sifted gravel home, park officials said that Kreykes found a pearl-shaped diamond. This find marks Kreykes’ 50th diamond in the past four years he has visited the park, officials said.
Officials with the park said Kreykes knew that the park was preparing to celebrate the 35,000th diamond find since 1972, so he left for the park to register his diamond find.
“This could be the 35,000th diamond!” Kreykes said to his wife.
The park staff registered it as a 3-point white diamond. Park interpreter Tayler Markham explained how they are weighed.
“Diamonds are weighed in points and carats. One hundred points is equal to one carat, like pennies to a dollar. Most diamonds found at the park weigh between 20 and 25 points,” Markham said.
Park staff also informed Kreykes that he had registered the 35,000th diamond. For creating the milestone, park officials said, he received a free two-night stay at an Arkansas State Park, recognition from Murfreesboro officials and a display for his diamond and a registration card.
As of Wednesday, 512 diamonds have been registered at Crater of Diamonds State Park in 2022.

APA Ups Shareholder Returns: Hikes Dividend, Expands Buyback
APA Corporation APA recently got approval from the board of directors to increase the quarterly dividend by 12.5 cents to 25 cents per share. The new payout will be on Nov 22 to its common shareholders of record on Oct 21. Following the 100% hike this quarter, APA’s annual dividend of $1 per share yields 2.41%, which is better than the S&P 500’s 1.54%.
The macro environment for U.S. Exploration & Production operators like APA remains robust, thanks to high commodity prices and improved fundamentals that should aid long-term growth. This positive backdrop, together with APA’s significant debt profile improvement and healthy cash flows, allows the company to reward investors with a dividend hike on Wednesday.
APA management sees the dividend hike as part of its commitment to return a minimum of 60% of free cash flow to shareholders each year. However, stock buyback continues to be the company’s preferred tool to distribute cash, with APA adding another 40 million shares to its buyback authorization.
Founded in 1954, Houston, TX-based APA Corporation is one of the world's leading independent energy companies engaged in the exploration, development and production of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids. Geographically, the company’s operations are in the United States, Egypt and in the North Sea of the United Kingdom. APA also holds acreage in offshore Suriname (South America) and other international locations.

Statistically Speaking: Utah vs. SDSU
They call them 'game breakers' for a reason. Big plays in special teams defy the odds and utterly disrupt reasonable expectations for the course of a football game. Blocked kicks, touchdown returns, and muffed punts have an impact on the contests that feature them that is far greater than their average over a thirteen or fourteen game season would suggest. San Diego State has developed a knack for breaking games in just this way.
The Aztecs have picked up at least one punt return for a touchdown every year since 2017, they’ve stunned observers with routine 50 yard punts, and are on track for a second-in-a-row top five finish in special teams efficiency this season. Averaged out over twelve games, the impact of these plays is nothing compared to a strong offensive and defensive unit—less than a field goal. But in those games where special teams hits paydirt, they change everything. Kyle Whittingham knows this, and up until recently had experienced remarkable success limiting game breaking special teams plays (while cooking up a few of his own).
From 2016 to 2020, the Utes went 38 games without giving up a special teams touchdown. Cracks started to show in 2020's shortened season, but the streak really fell apart in 2021. Three kickoff and two punt return touchdowns accounted for 35 (11%) of the regular season points Utah would surrender. Of the five, two were especially costly, narrowing the distance between the Utes and their opponents and costing Utah wins against San Diego State and Oregon State.
In a game where the elite teams outclass the average ones by only two or three touchdowns, a single missed punt coverage can be the difference between a game a team like Utah basically can't lose and a game where they are struggling to hang on.
Against this years Aztecs, though, a big special teams play is more likely to be the difference in Utah's efforts to cover the spread, rather than winning the game. SDSU lost too much in the offseason, with bellcow tailback Greg Bell to the NFL and other losses up and down the roster. Utah looks loaded as ever, gets the Aztecs at home, and has a score to settle. I'm expecting a romp.
Utah 38, SDSU 14

Pune civic schools face shortage of English medium teachers after parents transfer wards from private schools
With several parents losing their income during the Covid-19 pandemic and consequently transferring their wards from private English medium schools to Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) schools, there is now a shortage of English medium teachers in various municipal schools
With several parents losing their income during the Covid-19 pandemic and consequently transferring their wards from private English medium schools to Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) schools, there is now a shortage of English medium teachers in various municipal schools.
Raising the issue, Nationalist Congress Party’s urban cell head Nitin Kadam said, “After the Covid -19 pandemic, many parents lost their income, particularly those from the lower middle classes or weaker sections. Those who had earlier enrolled their kids in private English medium schools decided to transfer them to municipal schools. For example, in our Aryaneshwar area, we need to stop such admissions in civic schools as the schools do not have enough capacity to accommodate these kids.”
“While parents said they were not in a position to afford the private school fees, private schools were unwilling to admit the kids without fees. Against this backdrop, we met municipal officers and requested them to allow these students in PMC schools without transfer certificates. Private schools were not ready to issue transfer certificates without fees. The PMC decided to allow civic schools to admit these students without transfer certificates. It was for the first time that the PMC saw the trend of parents preferring civic schools to private schools,” Kadam said.
“Yet another issue has now emerged. The number of students has increased but there are no teachers. The PMC needs 350 additional teachers but it has appointed only 289 teachers. The interesting thing is that though PMC gave appointment letters to 289 teachers, only 120 of the 289 joined duty,” Kadam said.
One of the teachers on condition of anonymity said, “The main reason for not joining is the salary. The PMC is offering only Rs15,000 per month. On the other hand, the neighbouring Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal corporation (PCMC) is offering Rs25,000 per month. There is a lot of demand for English medium teachers in private schools as well.”
The headmistress of a private school on condition of anonymity said, “It is true that a few students left our school as their parents were not in a position to pay the fees. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the school did not ask for fees but as everything is normal now and restrictions have been lifted, the school expects that all children pay their fees.”
Pune municipal schools’ board head Meenakshi Raut said, “It is true that this year, the total number of students in our schools increased mainly due to parents transferring their wards from private schools to PMC schools. PMC appointed new teachers and some of them joined the school board.”
Ravindra Waghmare said, “My kids were studying in a private school. I have a small business which was affected during Covid. Instead of facing an additional financial burden, I preferred to transfer my children to civic schools.”

Queen Elizabeth didn’t make bold proclamations about the rights of women but rather it was in her small, everyday deeds that she advanced the feminist cause, experts say.
Sarika Bose, a University of British Columbia lecturer in Victorian literature and an expert on the Royal Family, said that until her death last week, the queen was one of the most well-known women in the world. She served in the Second World War and was not just a head of state or commander of the British armed forces but also a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
While the queen was not a flashy feminist, Bose said the monarch “normalized” having a woman on the world stage.
When she turned 18, the then-princess joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service, and trained as a driver and mechanic with the rank of second subaltern, making her the first and so far only woman in the Royal Family to become a full-time member of the armed forces. Bose said the queen could have signed up to be a secretary or a nurse during the war but instead chose to be a mechanic.
The late monarch showed through her reign that “when you are a leader,” there are ways in which you can speak up for yourself and have a voice, she said.
One of the most famous instances when her power as a woman shone through came in 1998 when she took Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, who later became king, for a spin in her Land Rover, Bose said. The drive took place at a time when women in his country were not allowed to be behind the wheel.
The queen didn’t let her gender define her role, Bose noted.
“I don’t think she’d call herself a feminist. It was very different from people who might be marching in the streets or going into an election or who might be writing theories of feminism. Her method of feminism was to be an example. And to be an example of all the things that people said women couldn’t do, and show that you could.”
Carolyn Harris, a history instructor at the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies, said the queen faced “curious” questions when she stepped into her role because there were not very many women in public life at that time.
These questions would include people asking her who was looking after her children when she was on overseas tours. The queen would “graciously” reply that the little ones were being “spoiled” by their grandmother, she said.
Harris emphasized other steps the queen took to promote equality between men and women.
In 2011, the queen backed the change to succession laws, which meant that men no longer took precedence over women in line to the throne. Harris also noted a comment from the queen the same year at the Commonwealth summit in Australia, which she said was about as close as the queen came to a call for equality: “It reminds us of the potential in our societies that is yet to be fully unlocked, and encourages us to find ways to allow girls and women to play their full part,” the monarch said in reference to the summit’s theme of women as agents of change.
Prof. Cecilia Morgan, a historian in the University of Toronto’s department of curriculum, teaching and learning, said the queen’s obligation to remain politically neutral led her to be cautious about how she expressed herself.
“I would say in terms of feminism it’s complicated, because she inherited a role,” Morgan said.
“She was also very limited in terms of the constitution, but also her own desire to be very careful and judicious as to what she said that might cause any kind of political stir. When I think of one of the things that feminism does … it does seek to disturb the status quo in various kinds of ways.”
Morgan noted that in terms of feminism, the queen did not do much for Indigenous or racialized women. “And I don’t want to be unfair, because that was sort of not her remit.”
While the queen maybe could have done more, Morgan said it must be remembered that she was confined by her role.
“It’s possible she might have been able to influence members of her family who did not have the same kind of constitutional strictures placed on them to do more when it came to things like social justice or supporting women’s rights, but it’s just so hard to know,” she said. “I don’t even know if we ever will know.”
Bose said King Charles and his heirs, Prince William and Prince George, would have benefited from her quiet style and are already showing how they will carry on her legacy, taking up causes involving young people, the environment and sustainability. She noted the Queen Consort’s advocacy of domestic violence charities.
“The voice that women have been able to amplify over these decades of the queen’s reign, I think that voice will continue to be strong,” she said. “Women have become normalized as leaders, and I don’t think that normalization will be reversed.”

THE WHO Bass Legend JOHN ENTWISTLE Streaming "I'll Try Again Today" From Upcoming Rarities Oxhumed - Volume One
September 16, 2022, an hour ago
John Entwistle is best known as the legendary bassist for The Who. Nicknamed the Ox and Thunderfingers, Entwistle's music career spanned over four decades and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame as a member of The Who in 1990. Renowned for his musical abilities, he was voted as the greatest bassist of all time in a 2011 Rolling Stone magazine readers' poll and in its special "100 Greatest Bass Players" issue in 2017. Bass Player magazine named Entwistle at #7.
Rarities Oxhumed - Volume One is the first in a series of posthumous releases coming from John Entwistle as part of a new partnership with Deko Entertainment and longtime friend and collaborator Steve Luongo. This first one has unreleased and remastered studio tracks, demos, and live tracks with gems like “Bogey Man” featuring Keith Moon, “Where You Going Now” (demo for The Who), and a raw live version of “Trick of the Light” recorded during the John Entwistle Band’s final tour in 2001. We will also take you behind the scenes with an expanded booklet with never-before-seen photos and a look into life on the road with John Entwistle. As Steve Luongo comments, “John and I began touring together in 1987. Every tour was more fun than the last. That was the idea. Play loud aggressive rock & roll, have fun, laugh our asses off, travel to the next gig, and repeat. During the 15 years that we worked together as a rhythm section, we remained true to that cause. Along the way we recorded some records and created a sizable catalog of ideas and material for the future. The future is now.”
The album cover concept was conceived by Steve Luongo and Chris Entwistle (John’s son). It gives a nod to John’s dark sense of humor and includes many of John’s favorite things. The two also worked with celebrity designer Queenie (Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Cardi B) to create two commemorative pieces of jewelry based on the Entwistle Crest. These are limited to only 300 each of both a necklace and keychain. As Deko president, Bruce Pucciarello, states, “Hearing the foundation of sound that John Entwistle provided Pete Townshend on Live at Leeds was transformational for me. Watching Steve find these never heard gems from John’s career and making them available to the public is an honor for everyone involved.”
The first preview of what’s to come is the remastered release of “I’ll Try Again Today”. Listen here, and below.

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cancelled the manufacturing licence of Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder for its Mulund plant and has asked the company to withdraw the product from the market.
The decision was taken after the referral Central Drugs Laboratory in Kolkata agreed with the Maharashtra FDA’s report of 2019, declaring the product sub-standard.
In 2019, the state FDA had checked the product samples from Pune and Nashik for quality and declared them ‘not of standard quality’ as per the government’s test pH guidelines for infants.
The FDA had issued a show cause notice to the firm under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act (1940) and Rules, asking why action such as suspension or cancellation of manufacturing licence should not be taken. It had also issued instructions to recall the product stock from the market.
However, the company did not accept the reports of the government analyst and challenged it in court, seeking to send the samples to the referral Central Drugs Laboratory in Kolkata.
Abhay Pandey, the president of All Food and Drugs Licence Holders Foundation said, “When I came to know about Johnson and Johnson baby powder sample failure, I immediately contacted the state FDA to take necessary steps in this matter as it’s one of the most selling baby powders in the market and incorrect pH can harm infants.”

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — State Treasurer Dale Folwell confirmed Friday that he is strongly considering a run for North Carolina governor in 2024. That could put the veteran elected leader in a Republican primary with Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, whose political profile has grown widely since his 2020 victory while a first-time candidate.
Folwell told The Associated Press that he is mulling a gubernatorial bid, but that he won’t make any decision until after the November elections. He said several Republicans have encouraged him to run, according to WRAL-TV, which first reported his potential bid.
“I’m receiving a lot of calls of people who know my track record, know my results and the way that I approach attacking problems and not attacking people,” Folwell told the station in a recent interview. “At the end of the day, if you’re going to be the CEO of the largest business in the state — which is the state — it’s results that’s going to matter, not rage.”
Folwell is a former local school board member and state legislator who was elected treasurer for the first time in 2016. One of his chief responsibilities is overseeing the state’s massive government employee pension funds. He was reelected in 2020 and has been emphasizing recently efforts to curb health care costs for state employees and retirees and the broader population.
“My reputation has always been built on not being outworked, raising my hands to volunteer for the tough jobs,” he told the AP in an interview.
Robinson has become a favorite of social conservatives aligned with the state GOP for his no-nonsense approach to cultural and education issues. He makes frequent appearances before party groups and churches.
Robinson said last year he was fairly certain he would run for governor, and he has written an autobiography that's being released for sale later this month.
Robinson has faced criticism for many of his comments, in particular for some about sex education in schools that critics say disparaged LGBTQ people. Robinson said his words focused on reading materials found in some public schools, not people, and didn't apologize.
Folwell believes his own manner and credentials would be attractive to gubernatorial voters.
“People are just sick and tired of being angry,” Folwell told WRAL-TV. “People are sick and tired of having people at each other’s throats. What people really want is someone who speaks to them like an adult and what they say makes common sense.”
Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is barred by term limits from seeking a third term in 2024. Attorney General Josh Stein is a likely candidate for the Democratic nomination. The attorney general and treasurer positions have no term limits.

Victims of police brutality generally need to show some kind of actions that are outside of standard police practices such as protecting the public and making arrests.
Wichita, KS – Victims of police misconduct have the option of taking formal legal action against an officer and their employer. This is because various civil rights laws have been enacted which allow citizens to hold the government accountable for illegal actions and abuses of authority. Unnecessary violence from police officers is one of the main ways that the public is directly affected by illegal government actions. There are attorneys in Wichita and other cities who focus their practice on these kinds of cases, and their services can be crucial to success in a police brutality lawsuit.
The person who suffered from the injury has standing
In order for anyone to file a civil lawsuit, they must have standing to bring a case because they suffered from a particular injury. In issues related to police brutality, this creates a few different possibilities. A person who was a victim of police violence, false arrest, and other forms of brutality will have standing to try to bring a case and present evidence of their losses for compensation. Another situation where someone is eligible to bring a lawsuit against a police department or municipality is if a family member was killed due to police violence and misconduct. Kansas has a wrongful death statute that allows certain family members to bring a case on a deceased person’s behalf. Government entities such as police departments can be named as a defendant in a wrongful death case.
What kind of evidence is necessary to bring a case?
Victims of police brutality generally need to show some kind of actions that are outside of standard police practices such as protecting the public and making arrests. Most cases of police brutality involve excessive use of force. This means that the officer violated their use of force protocols by beating, hitting, or shooting someone in an unnecessary manner or while they were defenseless. It is helpful if there are video recordings, witnesses, or pictures to help prove that the unnecessary violence actually took place. Many police departments now require officers to wear body cameras that will record this kind of footage. An attorney for the victim can request the footage to help build a case. It is also possible that the officer in question engaged in other kinds of illegal behavior such as making a false arrest when no crime was committed or planting contraband on a suspect to justify the arrest.

A legal expert told MSNBC on Friday that she expects the new independent arbiter in the Mar-a-Lago case to be an improvement over the current judge, Aileen Cannon, who is a Trump appointee.
Cannon on Thursday named Raymond Dearie, a federal judge in New York, as the “special master” to sort through thousands of documents seized from Donald Trump's Florida estate and determine if any of them are protected by executive privilege.
"The good news about Judge Dearie is that he seems to know what he's doing, which is an improvement over the current judge," said Cynthia Alksne, a former federal prosecutor, during an appearance Friday on MSNBC.
The US Justice Department last week accepted this choice of candidate by Trump, who is behind the drive for a special master in the unprecedented case of the August 8 FBI raid on his seaside mansion.
"He was on the FISA court, which is the most important national security court that the federal judiciary has," Alksne explained. "So he knows a lot about executive privilege, he knows about national security issues, he's familiar with the documents, he has the clearance required or can certainly have it updated quickly, and he has a reputation as a solid judge. That's what this case needs."

"I don't think for a minute it's the best route, because there's no reason for special master in this case," she added. "But the good news is that the special master is probably a better judge than the judge who sent the case over in the first place. So we're in a position where we have to just kind of make lemonade out of lemons and take advantage of the fact this is a good judge and he's able to handle the case."
Cannon has faced criticism from Trump's opponents for her rulings in favor of the former president. Last week, Cannon issued an injunction that barred the Justice Department from using any of the documents -- including the ones marked classified -- for its investigation while the special master conducted their review.
The department argued that a smaller set of 100 or so classified documents that are part of the reams of papers taken from Mar-a-Lago should first be given to criminal prosecutors investigating Trump, before they go to the special master.
The department filed suit to be able to resume looking at the classified papers right away.

But in her ruling this Thursday, Cannon refused to lift any part of her injunction.
She rejected the Justice Department's argument that her injunction freezing the probe harmed national security.
Trump is facing mounting legal pressure, with the Justice Department saying top-secret documents were "likely concealed" to obstruct an FBI probe into his potential mishandling of classified materials.
He has denied all wrongdoing, saying the raid was "one of the most egregious assaults on democracy in the history of our country."
Government attorneys previously opposed Trump's special master request altogether, arguing that an independent screening for privileged material could harm national security, and was also unnecessary as a team had already completed a screening.
In addition to the documents probe, Trump faces investigations in New York into his business practices, as well as legal scrutiny over his efforts to overturn results of the 2020 election, and for the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by his supporters.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The scholarship program that was recently launched by Francis Santa is a scholarship program that is directed towards young aspiring student entrepreneurs who want to seriously pursue their career paths in the future. This scholarship program is opening its doors for applications towards any eligible students which are university students who are currently enrolled in a course that is intended to help them with the path to becoming an entrepreneur. Additionally, the doors for these applications are also open to high school students who have a desire to become an entrepreneur and are graduating with plans on attending university for their ambition to become an entrepreneur. The student that will be chosen will be awarded scholarship funds that will go towards financing their university studies as it intends to cover both education and tuition fees.
Francis Santa hopes that this scholarship program will allow any aspiring entrepreneur the opportunity to become successful in the future through the opportunities it will open. The scholarship will not only serve as his way of giving back to the community but also bring awareness of the struggles of entrepreneurs and the rising costs of education that makes it difficult for students to overcome as well as nurture the next generation of successful entrepreneurs.
The scholarship program is intended to allow the chosen student to attend university and help with finances.

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

This Chaotic Multiplayer Golf Title Is Chipping Its Way to the Top of Steam
A wacky mini golf game is rising in Steam charts.
Earlier today, a certain multiplayer golf game suddenly started driving its way up the Steam active player count charts thanks in part to the free weekend going on now. At this time, Golf With Your Friends is sitting around 10 thousand concurrent users which is about half of the game’s all-time peak.
Considering the fact that this game came out six years ago, this is fairly impressive even taking into account the free weekend. It’ll be interesting to see if the game is able to reach its all-time high of 20,592 concurrent users later this weekend. Down below, you can see the concurrent player count from earlier today on SteamCharts.
The even better news is that if you try out the game for free and end up enjoying it, then it’s currently available for 50% off on Steam. Even those who don’t try out the free weekend of Golf With Your Friends can still get the game half off up until Sept. 22. However, the sale doesn’t seem to be limited to PC. The game is available for $4.99 on Nintendo Switch and Xbox right now. Additionally, PlayStation Plus Extra Subscribers can get the game for free.
For those who are unfamiliar with Golf With Your Friends (developed by Blacklight Studios and published by Team17), the game is an online multiplayer mini-golf title that features 198 different holes, up to 12-player online play, optional irregularly shaped golf balls, a course creator, a mode with power-ups, and much more.

NEW YORK (AP) — Novelist Gayl Jones is a fiction nominee for the National Book Award, the rare established name on a list of 10 that features eight debut works of fiction.
Jones was cited Friday for “The Birdcatcher,” an exploration of race, art and marriage in which a Black American writer journeys to the island of Ibiza and stays with her married friends, one of whom is trying to kill the other. Jones, 72, is herself the author of one of the most acclaimed debut books in recent memory, the novel “Corregidora,” which came out in 1975. She has published sporadically in the decades following and last year broke a 20-year hiatus with the novel “Palmares," a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
The National Book Foundation, which presents the awards, announced long lists of 10 earlier this week for young people's literature, poetry, literature in translation and nonfiction. The competitive categories will be narrowed to lists of five on Oct. 4, with winners announced during a Nov. 16 ceremony that will include honorary prizes for cartoonist Art Spiegelman and for Tracie D. Hall, executive director of the American Library Association.
The lists are judged by panels of authors, critics and other members of the literary community. Among the books bypassed by fiction judges: Jennifer Egan’s “The Candy House,” Lydia Millet’s “Dinosaurs,” Andrew Sean Greer’s “Less Is Lost” and Yiyun Li’s “The Book of Goose.”
Besides Jones, Jamil Jan Kochai is the only nominee who had previously published fiction. He was cited Friday for the collection “The Haunting of Hajji Hotak and Other Stories." The fiction list also includes two filmmakers: Fatimah Asghar, author of “If They Come for Us,” is the writer and co-creator of the Emmy-nominated “Brown Girls”; Ramona Emerson, who wrote and directed the documentary “The Mayors of Shiprock,” is a National Book Award nominee for “Shutter.”
Three of the debut books are story collections: Leigh Newman's “Nobody Gets Out Alive,” Marytza K. Rubio's “Maria, Maria & Other Stories” and Jonathan Escoffery's “If I Survive You," an interlinked series of stories.
The other nominees are Sarah Thankam Mathews' ”All This Could Be Different," Tess Gunty's “The Rabbit Hutch” and Alejandro Varela's “The Town of Babylon,” released by Astra Publishing House, which was founded just two years ago.

Some assume that since a company's bank account is in their name and they are the company's sole founder, there isn't a need for a corporate bank account. While it is true that you don't technically need one as an owner, having a separate bank account can save you from much-unwanted trouble.
For example, if your business takes on more than one partner or investor and disputes arise about how to split up the money, you'll want to be able to show clear records of what was paid into and out of the company. It will also help protect your personal finances should anything happen to your business — in such cases, a court order may require that your accounts be frozen until those financial matters are resolved.
Mistake #2: Spending money too quickly
Do not spend any money before you completely understand what is involved. Just because you have saved some cash does not mean you can spend it recklessly. The last thing you want to do is deplete your funds early because there will be plenty of unexpected costs and bills to pay down the line.
However, this goes both ways — if you need to raise funds, don't worry about spending them all in one go. It's better to get your business up and running now than wait months or years until you have enough savings. As long as you make sure you don't spend too much (or at least more than planned), investing every penny into growing your company is okay.
Mistake #3: Ignoring taxes
Ignoring taxes is a huge financial mistake that can kill your small job and will likely get you into trouble with the IRS. If you ignore the tax issue, even if it's just for a little while, it can snowball and end up hurting you in the long run.
If you don't file taxes properly, there's a big chance that the IRS will audit your business and assess penalties (which means even more money out of your pocket). It's not worth the risk! As an entrepreneur, one of your primary jobs is ensuring all paperwork gets filed on time and includes all necessary information.
Mistake #4: Not having a backup plan
When starting your own business, it is essential to have a backup plan. Something that will allow you to make money when your first idea fails. This could be an Etsy shop, a sideline business, or extra freelance work. If the worst-case scenario comes true and you fail, having something in place to keep some income will go a long way to making sure you can still pay the bills while trying again.
Mistake #5: Not having a marketing budget
Having a marketing budget is essential. If you don't have money to market your product or service, then nobody will know about it! And if nobody knows about it, then no one will buy it!
Additionally, without a marketing budget, you may miss out on some of the most effective ways to promote your business. A major part of marketing is providing fresh content that informs readers and entices them to take action. For example, by spending $100 on a Facebook ad campaign targeting potential customers who might be interested in your product or service, you can reach thousands of people for pennies each! By not having a marketing budget and not using other advertising methods like search engine optimization (SEO) and social media advertising (SMA), you are essentially throwing away free opportunities to generate more leads and sales.
Mistake #6: Poor money management
Poorly managing revenue and inventory costs is one of the biggest mistakes leading to debt issues and bankruptcy. While revenue is important, having inventory on hand to match your demand level and continually buying more inventory when you don't need it is a drain on the company's cash flow and profitability. Maintaining a healthy supplier relationship can help keep costs down for your business long-term. Talk to your suppliers about how they charge for their products and inquire about discounts they might offer.
Another cost-saving tip is to buy as much inventory as possible at once instead of ordering smaller amounts over time which will result in increased shipping fees.
One of the best ways to get and stay financially fit is to invest in a POS like Hana Retail. It can help small businesses with inventory control, customer data storage and more. If you want to learn more about how POS systems can benefit your business, contact us today and make sure you avoid making any of these costly mistakes!

While conducting a search warrant Aug. 30, Surrey RCMP say they found illicit drugs and a large amount of cash in a convenience store in the 10200-block of City Parkway, in City Centre.
Officers found 230 grams of bulk and pre-packed fentanyl, 38 grams of methamphetamine, 17 grams of cocaine, 38 grams of hydromorphone pills, 278 grams of marijuana and $150,000 cash.
“The bulk fentanyl alone represents over 2,000 potentially fatal doses taken off our streets,” says Cst. Sarbjit K. Sangha, Surrey RCMP media relations officer.
“We will be keeping a close eye on this location, which has been a hot spot for drug dealing and violence.”
Investigators believed that the business was being used to facilitate drug trafficking in the area.
Anyone with information regarding drug trafficking in their neighbourhood is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

From Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, Tiny Desk is celebrating Latinx Heritage Month with an "El Tiny" takeover, featuring Jessie Reyez, Susana Baca and more musicians from all corners of Latinidad.
What a way to get our second annual El Tiny series going! Omar Apollo kicks off Latinx Heritage Month with a full-band rendition of "En El Olvido," backed by Las Mariachis Lindas, as he channels a childhood spent listening to Juan Gabriel into his performance of the Mexican corrido.
In the eternal wisdom of Alt.Latino co-host Anamaria Sayre, it's not a Mexican party until someone starts crying, and Apollo embraces esta melancolía as the band slips into the easy R&B number "Evergreen." "We're about to get more sad," he says to the crowd with a grin.
Despite the heartbreak and unrequited love songs, there's a sense of ease in this Tiny Desk concert — an easy camaraderie among the group as the members sing through "Evergreen" and "Petrified" before finishing with the (slightly) more upbeat "Endlessly." El corazón puede estar adolorido, but in community, the pain never seems hopeless.
As Apollo's Tiny Desk comes to an end, he offers the audience a homework assignment for self-improvement, for putting the negative behind you and making yourself available to participate in building community: "I want y'all to think about something," he says. "I want you to go home, I want you to meditate and I want you to just burn the bridge." He laughs. "I'm playing!" But as his and the band's joyful energy attests, in the world of Omar Apollo, there's only room for building each other up.

Here’s a fun look at the Silver City past that combines creativity, wit, talent and … fertilizer?
The “Old Bags,” were a Cominco Musical Troupe that started up at a 1967 Cominco Christmas party, when the budding singers established themselves for a “growing” musical career.
These lovely ladies introduced a smash hit, mostly for Trail ears, titled “The Ballad of the Elephant Brand Bags.”
And it only made sense for the ensemble to bedeck themselves with fertilizer sacks, stamped with the iconic elephant logo á la Cominco.
“They were all Cominco employees or wives of employees and had a small tour with their hit single to the various Cominco operation events and get-togethers,” explains archivist Addison Oberg, Trail Museum and Archives.
Sung to the tune of “Snoopy versus the Red Baron,” for anyone curious of the lyrics, fear not, Oberg has included them here:
“In the olden days when the horse was king/Around the farm, he did everything;
He plowed the fields and he cut the hay/And he fertilized the soil in a private way;
The rate of application was pretty darn small/And doublin’ the horses didn’t help at all;
Along came Cominco with its pellets galore/Free flowing, water soluble and gran-u-lar!
Chorus:
It’s great for everything from barley to hay/When you throw a handful, jump out of the way;
Every farmer has a ton or two on hand/They’re all completely sold on Elephant Brand;
In Regina, Calgary, Kimberley and Trail/They make all the stuff McBeath has for sale;
The covered hopper cars all over the place/Are pushing us bags right out of the race;
Chorus:
Bulk or bags, Cominco doesn’t care/We want all the business everywhere;
Tommy and Ralph can stand up and cheer/While the competition go cry into their beer;
Chorus:
It’s Centennial Year throughout this land/We grow larger and faster ‘cause of Elephant Brand;
We fertilize the valleys and the prairies too/Better watch out or we’ll fertilize you;
Chorus:
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more/Grigg’s bulk stations are nearin’ three score;
As the trend continues as surely it must/There’ll be fewer and fewer old bags like us!”
-This story was featured in the fall 1968 issue of Cominco Magazine.

WHEN it comes to getting a big, bouncy blowout these days, it's all about the Dyson Airwrap.
But back in the days when Dyson was just making hoovers, women used heated rollers to add volume and texture to their locks.
So when Sarah Betts found her grandmother's old rollers, she decided to give them a try.
"I'm going to attempt to style my hair but with my grandma's old hot rollers," she said in a video on her TikTok page.
She then showed the instruction manual she'd found for the Breville rollers - which were called Rapid Travel Curls.
"I've switched on the rollers, it feels so weird to keep them done up inside this pouch but that's what the instructions say so that's what we're going to do," she said.
Sarah then read from the instructions, which told her to apply the rollers to "clean, dry and healthy" hair.
Firstly, she sectioned her hair and put the rollers in the bottom section - as "that's the section I'm more comfortable with burning".
Once that was done, she let the rest of her hair down and added the rollers to the next section.
"Thank goodness for the Dyson Airwrap," she said.
Most read in Fabulous
"We really do not realise how easy we have it."
After leaving the rollers in for around 10 minutes, Sarah started to take them out one at a time.
"That's good," she said as she released the first curl.
"Wait... that's good!" she exclaimed as her hair continued coming out in perfect ringlets.
"It's giving Dyson, girlies," she giggled.
She added that the only drawback was that she had to plug the rollers back in to reheat to do the top section of her hair, as she just had too much for the eight rollers in the pack.
Once she'd done the top too, and taken all the curlers out, she turned her head upside down and gave it a good shake.
"Oh my goodness," she said as she admired the voluminous curls.
"I wonder if she'd notice if I steal them?"
"I love them," one person wrote in the comments section.
To which Sarah replied: "Right!!! I'm so impressed."
"Wait why does it work so well," another asked.
"RIGHT! i can’t believe it haha," Sarah answered.

Chrissy Teigen says she's come to understand her miscarriage was actually abortion that saved her life
Chrissy Teigen has shared more about her 2020 pregnancy loss.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cookbook author and entrepreneur spoke about that experience on Thursday at social impact agency Propper Daley's "A Day of Unreasonable Conversation" summit held in Beverly Hills, California.
Teigen, who is currently pregnant and has two other young children with husband John Legend, reflected on the loss of their son, Jack.
"Two years ago, when I was pregnant with Jack, John and my third child, I had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions," the publication reported her saying at the summit. "It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive, and that I wouldn't either without any medical intervention."
Following the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Teigen said she realized that what she had termed a miscarriage was actually an abortion.
"Let's just call it what it was: It was an abortion," she said. "An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago."
The "Lip Sync Battle" host had been hospitalized for severe bleeding in the days prior to announcing her pregnancy loss.
"We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It was never enough," she said in a statement shared on social media at the time.
Part of the debate surrounding abortion in some states has been whether it should be legal in cases where the mother's life is at risk.
Teigen, according to THR, said it was during a discussion with her husband about abortion and the sympathy she felt for people who have to make an emotional decision to end a pregnancy that Legend helped her realize they were in fact those people.
"I fell silent, feeling weird that I hadn't made sense of it that way," she said. "I told the world we had a miscarriage, the world agreed we had a miscarriage, all the headlines said it was a miscarriage. And I became really frustrated that I didn't, in the first place, say what it was, and I felt silly that it had taken me over a year to actually understand that we had had an abortion."
Teigen tweeted the THR story on Friday.
"I told you all we had a miscarriage because I thought that was what it was," she wrote. "But it was an abortion, and we were heartbroken and grateful all at once. It just took me over a year to realize it."
CNN has reached out to a representative for Teigen for comment.

Prince of Wales role may not need ‘further ceremonial underpinning’ of investiture says Mark Drakeford
The First Minister has suggested that there may not be a need for an investiture for the new Prince of Wales at all, after meeting the new King Charles at Cardiff Castle this afternoon.
Speaking to TalkTV after that meeting, he said that Prince William should be given time to get used to his new role before thoughts turned to another investiture.
After that, they could start thinking about “whether there is a need for any further ceremonial underpinning of what has already been announced,” he said.
Charles’ investiture at Caernarfon castle in 1969 drew protests including Cymdeithas yr Iaith’s non-violent mass protests, to more direct threats from the Free Wales Army and Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru.
The King made Prince William the new Prince of Wales in his first speech as Head of State a week ago, an act that has proven controversial as almost 30,000 people have since signed a petition opposing the continuation of the title.
But Royal sources have since then hinted that this time a “low key” investiture could take place at Llandaff Cathedral – which the King visited this morning.
Speaking today, Mark Drakeford suggested the investiture proceedings for William need not follow the same form as that of the 1969 ceremony that saw the title bestowed upon his father.
He told TalkTV: “Well, I certainly don’t think that 1969 is a good guide for what should happen in 2022. Wales is a very different place.
“The nature of the monarchy has developed over that period. My message is that we shouldn’t be in a rush about all of this.
“We should allow the new prince, as I say, to become familiar with his new responsibilities, develop the job in a way that will work for him and will work for Wales.
“And then we can think about how and whether there is a need for any further ceremonial underpinning of what has already been announced.”
‘Welsh republic’
The King was generally warmly received in Cardiff today but boos could be heard when the King and Queen Consort arrived at Cardiff Castle.
Around 40 demonstrators gathered outside the castle walls on Friday with banners displaying messages such as “Abolish the Monarchy” and “Democracy Now”.
It is the first negativity the King has encountered beyond individual protests during his tour of the devolved nations as the new monarch.
Some protesters held giant Owain Glyndwr flags as the visit fell on the day that celebrates the legacy of the rebel who is considered to be the last native-Welsh Prince of Wales.
Many wore T-shirts bearing the words “Yes Cymru” – the slogan of independence campaigners.
The atmosphere was more welcoming around Llandaff Cathedral where members of the public chanted “God save the King” and showered the couple with flowers and gifts.
However, a lone male voice at one point shouted over the crowd: “We pay £100 million a year for you, and for what?”
When Charles and Camilla left the Senedd, there were a small number of boos from a few protesters but these were drowned out by people singing God Save The King.
But as they made their way into the castle walls, following their visit to the Senedd, anti-monarchy protesters could be heard booing loudly while holding signs reading: “We want a democracy, a Welsh republic”.
Although it was meant to be a silent protest by a number of groups under the banner Real Democracy Now, the rally also at times broke into song led by members of the Cor Cochion, a socialist choir based in Cardiff.
Campaigners, led by former Senedd member Bethan Sayed, said they want the Welsh public to consider whether a future without the monarchy is possible.

The Mercury Prize and Brit Award winning musician shared a statement on social media announcing she had decided to scrap some of her US tour dates and fly home for a period of rest and recovery.
The 22-year-old will recommence her tour at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom venue on September 26.
It comes days after fellow Brit Award winner Sam Fender also cancelled a series of upcoming shows to look after his mental health after becoming “burnt out”.
2021 was a breakout year for west London-raised Parks, during which she released her critically acclaimed debut album Collapsed In Sunbeams, won a string of awards and embarked on an international tour, opening for acts such as Harry Styles and Billie Eilish.
Addressing her fans, she wrote: “I’ve been on the road on and off for the last 18 months, filling every spare second in between and working myself to the bone.
“It was exciting and I was eager to grind and show everyone what I was capable of, how grateful I was to be where I am today.
“The people around me started to get worried but I was anxious to deliver and afraid to disappoint my fans and myself.
“I pushed myself unhealthily, further and harder than I should’ve.”
Parks said she now found herself in a “very dark place, exhausted and dangerously low”.
“It’s painful to admit that my mental health has deteriorated to a debilitating place, that I’m not okay, that I’m a human being with limits,” she said.
Announcing she was cancelling a clutch of upcoming shows, she added: “I don’t take decisions like this lightly but I am broken and I really need to step out, go home and take care of myself.
“I will do everything I can to make this up to you – for now you can get refunds at your point of purchase.
“I’m forever thankful to everyone who continues to show up for me, what a dream to have fans like you guys – I’ll be back – love AP.”
Parks, real name Anais Marinho, released her debut EP, titled Super Sad Generation, in April 2019.
Since then her profile has grown exponentially and 2020 saw her win the “one to watch” gong at the AIM Independent Music Awards and be named BBC Introducing’s artist of the year.
In May 2021, she won the award for best new artist at the Brit Awards and in September that year the Mercury Prize.

President Biden will travel to Florida later this month to rally with Democrats, with leading Senate and gubernatorial races on the ballot there in November.
Biden will travel to Orlando on Sept. 27, the White House announced Friday. He will attend a Democratic National Committee rally while there, the latest instance of Biden addressing a gathering of Democrats ahead of the midterms.
It will mark Biden’s second trip to the state as president. He previously visited to tour the site of the Surfside Condo collapse.
Biden has held recent events in Maryland, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to boost Democrats, though not every member of the party on the ticket in November has opted to appear alongside him.
In Florida, where Biden lost in 2020 by nearly 400,000 votes in part due to an erosion of support among Hispanic voters, Democrats are hoping to win up and down the ticket.
Rep. Val Demings (D) is running against Sen. Marco Rubio (R), while former Rep. Charlie Crist (D), the onetime governor of the state, is running against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
Polls show Republicans ahead in both races, but Democrats believe that momentum from the Supreme Court decision to strike down Roe v. Wade, as well as DeSantis’s growing and controversial national profile, could help them pull an upset.
DeSantis made headlines in recent days by flying a group of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, which the White House decried as a “cruel” political stunt.

Investors in e.l.f. Beauty Inc (Symbol: ELF) saw new options begin trading this week, for the May 2023 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 245 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ELF options chain for the new May 2023 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $30.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.10. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $30.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $28.90 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ELF, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $39.90/share today.
Because the $30.00 strike represents an approximate 25% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 86%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.67% return on the cash commitment, or 5.46% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for e.l.f. Beauty Inc, and highlighting in green where the $30.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $45.00 strike price has a current bid of $2.85. If an investor was to purchase shares of ELF stock at the current price level of $39.90/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $45.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 19.92% if the stock gets called away at the May 2023 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ELF shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for e.l.f. Beauty Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ELF's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $45.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $45.00 strike represents an approximate 13% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 54%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 7.14% boost of extra return to the investor, or 10.64% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 58%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 47%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $39.90) to be 41%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Uncertain how to get to Artificial Island in Tower of Fantasy? The new zone may take centre stage in the Tower of Fantasy 1.5 update, but that doesn’t mean reaching it is plain sailing. First and foremost, only Wanderers level 50 and above are eligible to accept the mission that takes you to the island. If you’re a little short on levels, take a look at our Tower of Fantasy leveling guide – as well as our Tower of Fantasy guide for beginners – for an array of helpful tips to help you climb those levels quickly.
Additionally, you must have reached chapter two of the Tower of Fantasy story before you can get to Artificial Island. It’s highly likely that you’ve met this condition, but if you’ve lost the narrative thread, select the story tab from your terminal menu to see the next steps you must take on your journey in order to complete chapter one.
Tower of Fantasy Artificial Island location
Begin your journey to Artificial Island by accessing the Special Operation tab from the rewards menu in the top-right corner of the screen. Select Artificial Island from the list to read and accept Kolador’s invitation. This will generate the ‘Go to Artificial Island’ side mission in your log.
Once you’ve accepted Koladar’s invitation, head to Banges Dock via the spacerift and take the stairs up to the landing pad. Koladar will be stationed by the Artificial Island jet waiting to depart. Speak to him first, then interact with the Artificial Island jet to travel to the island. Congratulations – after a loading screen and a brief cutscene, you’ve made it to Artificial Island!
It’s tempting to dive straight into everything the Artificial Island has to offer, but we recommend making it your first priority to unlock the Base Zero spacerift directly south of the landing pad. By doing so, you can freely fast travel to and from the island from your Tower of Fantasy map, rather than being forced to take the ship from Banges every single time.
That’s all the direction you need on how to get to Artificial Island. While you’re exploring, don’t forget to serve your daily customers their favourite food in the Tower of Fantasy Aida Cafe event, which will help you save up enough currency for the limited Tower of Fantasy banners. You’ll likely be spending them on the brand new Tower of Fantasy Claudia simulacra, but if you’re still gunning for Frigg, check out our Tower of Fantasy Frigg build to discover what makes the ice queen tick.

Retirement planning is always a process fraught with endless variables, but for those currently approaching the end of their working lives, market downturns and inflation make this a particularly challenging moment. Not surprisingly, many clients may be wondering whether they should postpone their retirement. We asked a handful of advisors how they’re navigating the issue in this week’s Big Q feature. We heard about the importance of distinguishing between a retirement pegged around drawing down assets versus other sources of income, gaming out Monte Carlo simulations to account for unpredictable markets, and taking stock of clients’ priorities for retirement, including whether they’re willing to continue to work part time.
Finding value in tech stocks. It’s been a brutal year for tech stocks, but that’s created opportunities to scoop up bargains. Simply relying on measures like price-to-earnings ratios to find value could cause you to overlook some of the best opportunities, however. Taking a deeper look at financials can help you identify stocks that might look expensive at first glance but are actually poised to outperform. We crunched the numbers for more than 500 tech names and came up with a list of 28 that merit attention.
BofA ramps up lending. Bank of America is stepping up its lending game, creating a new unit of roughly 3,500 loan officers, product experts, and others who will focus on lending services for high-net-worth clients and institutions. April Schneider, recently promoted to head of wealth management banking and lending, will lead the new group.
BofA
’s
move continues a trend of major financial-services firms emphasizing their lending operations as they seek to become one-stop shops for wealthy clients.
Leaving Wells Fargo. Another advisor team has left the wirehouse. The latest defection came this week, when a team managing $1.6 billion in client assets affiliated with Sanctuary Wealth, a firm that helps wirehouse advisors go independent. For Sanctuary, the deal marks the fourth billion-dollar team it’s picked up this year and continues a rapid expansion that has seen it expand to 27 states and grow its assets to around $25 billion.
Buckle your seat belt. This week’s selloff following a higher-than-expected inflation report came as a rude reminder that 2022’s market turbulence is far from over. The August jump in prices also likely means that the Fed will continue raising interest rates into next year. Some advisors are telling clients to brace for continued volatility and perhaps even a recession, others look ahead to modest growth, and there is a general feeling that earnings forecasts for the coming year are too high.

Getting mergers right. Deal volume in the registered investment advisor sector continues at a blistering pace, but there are many pitfalls that can derail a successful merger.

In this week’s Q&A, John Lesser, the head of Plante Moran Financial Advisors, describes how the firm’s dream referral pipeline works. Its sister divisions provide consulting, tax, and accounting services to private businesses. Then those owners and executives become prime wealth management prospects. He also discussed why the firm added a robo-advisor and the reason it’s content to stay on the M&A sidelines.

The Perseverance rover has reached a major milestone in its search for traces of life on Mars with the collection of “most precious” samples so farcontaining potential biosignatures that will need to be analyzed on Earth, announced NASA this Thursday (15).
- Share on WhatsApp
- Share on Telegram
This is still not proof of the existence of past life on the red planet.but it is the best chance to date of detecting possible ancient microbial life.
A biosignature may have been produced by the presence of life, but also by its absence.. To consider it definitive, the samples must be analyzed by powerful laboratory instruments on Earth.
NASA plans to bring the samples back to Earth through another mission before 2033.
“I think we can say that they will be, and already are, the most precious rock samples ever collected,” David Shuster, a scientist working on these samples, told a news conference.
Two cuts were made by drilling through a rock called “Wildcat ridge”, about one meter in size and located in a delta that formed about 3.5 billion years ago at the intersection of a river and an ancient lake.
(VIDEO: Perseverance robot makes new discovery on Mars.)
Perseverance robot makes new discovery on Mars
It’s particularly interesting because it’s a sedimentary rock that appears to have formed when the lake’s water evaporated.
“Wildcat ridge” also has “a great potential for biosignature conservation”said Shuster, an expert at the University of California at Berkeley.
- Perseverance robot landed on Mars after seven months of travel
Analyzed separately by an instrument at the end of Perseverance’s robotic arm, the rock revealed the presence of organic compounds, the highest amount detected since the mission began a year and a half ago.
These compounds – made especially of carbon and which may contain hydrogen – “are the essential elements of life”, said Ken Farley, responsible for the science part of the mission.
- The ‘world’s oldest 3D heart’ found in prehistoric fish
These elements were detected in much smaller numbers by the rover during previous analyzes at Jezero Crater, where the lake was located, but “as we go further into the delta, the indices get stronger and stronger,” summarized Sunanda Sharma of the Propulsion Laboratory. from NASA.
“Personally, I find these results very impressive, as it seems that we are in the right place with the right instruments at a crucial time,” he said.
“We still don’t know the significance of these findings, but these rocks are exactly what we’re looking for,” concluded Farley.

Vatican informed that it will send Secretary Paul Gallagher, responsible for relations with States and International Organizations, to represent the pontiff at the event.
O Pope Francis informed that he will not attend the funeral of the Queen Elizabeth II. The information was released by Vatican this Friday, the 16th, and the funeral is scheduled for the following Monday, the 19th, and will be held at Westminster Abbey in London. “The Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations, the religious Paul Gallagher, will represent Pope Francis on Monday at the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” said Matteo Bruni, spokesman for the pontiff. Gallagher holds a position similar to that of Foreign Minister at the Vatican and has held that role since 1984. Despite the Pope’s absence, hundreds of government officials will be in London for the funeral, making the event one of the biggest diplomatic gatherings in decades. However, as the abbey holds only 2,000 people, only heads of state and a maximum of two representatives per country will be able to attend the funeral. The president Jair Bolsonaro confirmed that he will attend the event.

From health camps, seva pakhwada to cleanliness drives, BJP preps for PM Modi's birthday
New Delhi, Sep 17: With Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to ring in his birthday on September 17, BJP leaders and workers across the country have planned several events and intiatives that will be taken up from Saturday till October 2--the day which marks the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
From releasing cheetahs in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National park to inaugurating four Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) skilling centres across the country, PM Modi has a packed schedule for the day.
PM Modi to gift cheetahs to India on his birthday!
Here is a schedule of the PM on his big day:
This year, he will release cheetahs brought from Namibia in a Madhya Pradesh national park in a boost to the country's wildlife, and interact with women self-help groups.
While Modi will travel to Madhya Pradesh on his 72nd birthday on Saturday, his party will embark on a fortnight-long nationwide drive of public outreach with initiatives like blood donation, helping the poor and disabled, and cleanliness measures, and also observe a ''unity in diversity'' programme.
प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi के जन्मदिन के उपलक्ष्य में 17 सितंबर से 2 अक्टूबर तक देश भर में भारतीय जनता पार्टी द्वारा आयोजित होंगे 'सेवा पखवाड़ा' के विभिन्न कार्यक्रम। pic.twitter.com/1CPD3lP8RB
— BJP (@BJP4India) September 13, 2022
BJP general secretary Arun Singh said party functionaries in one state will adopt any other state under the programme to promote its language and culture for a day.
An e-auction of gifts the prime minister has received is set to begin from Saturday. Proceeds from the auction will be used for 'Namami Gange', the clean Ganga campaign.
Shri @NarendraModi is the first PM to ever decide to auction off all of his gifts!
— G Kishan Reddy (@kishanreddybjp) September 16, 2022
The money raised from online auction will be used to further the worthy goal of protecting country's lifeblood, the Holy River Ganga.#NamamiGanga#PMMementosAuction2022 has arrived!📢 pic.twitter.com/ouKckfcjBm
PM Modi to gift cheetahs to India on his birthday!
On his birthday, Modi will also participate in a self-help group (SHG) meeting with women SHG members/community resource persons at Karahal, Sheopur, after releasing eight cheetahs in the Kuno National Park.
The release of wild cheetahs is part of his efforts to revitalise and diversify India's wildlife and its habitat, his office has said.
The introduction of the cheetah in India is being done under Project Cheetah, which is the world's first inter-continental large wild carnivore translocation project, it said.
