ABOARD THE OPEN ARMS UNO (AP) — The Spanish charity Open Arms has rescued 372 people seeking to cross the central Mediterranean to Europe in unseaworthy smugglers' boats and recovered the corpse of a man who had been shot by smugglers, officials said Sunday.
The rescue ship Open Arms Uno remained at sea and is seeking a safe port for the rescued people, including some who need medical attention and many who are suffering from dehydration, said Laura Lanuza, an Open Arms spokeswoman. She said they have made at least two requests for a safe port in Malta.
In all, the ship performed three rescues in 24 hours. In the largest rescue, the Open Arms picked up 294 people, mostly Egyptians, from an overcrowded barge in waters south of Malta in an nighttime operation that spanned nearly five hours before dawn Sunday. Those rescued said they had been at sea for four days.
The packed boat had been spotted by volunteer pilots combing the Mediterranean for people in distress, and a photo showed its decks packed with people waving for help.
Before that, the Open Arms rescued 59 migrants from Syria, Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea, among them 10 minors, from an oil platform they had reached in Tunisian waters. Still in the flimsy smugglers' boat was the wrapped body of a migrant who had been shot on shore by smugglers, Lanuza said.
“The smugglers forced the people to take the corpse with them. They spent a day or so at sea, and kept the corpse until they were saved,’’ Lanuza said.
On Saturday morning, the Open Arms rescued 19 people from a rubber dinghy off Libya. They included 16 people from Syria.
An Associated Press photographer on board the Open Arms said during each rescue, desperate people flung themselves into the water, complicating the operation.

Proponents of imposing a windfall tax on the Canadian oil and gas industry now have another global power setting precedent for the policy.
On Wednesday, the European Commission proposed levying such a tax on the energy sector and redirecting funds to households and businesses struggling with high inflation. It estimates the policy would bring in 140 million euros (around $186 million) in revenue.
The European Union is not the only jurisdiction to pursue an extra tax on the energy sector. Earlier this year, the United Kingdom imposed a windfall tax on oil and gas producers. Since then, however, new Prime Minister Liz Truss has come out against the policy and indicated she would not bring in any new windfall taxes.
Progressives in the United States have also campaigned for a windfall tax on oil and gas companies amid rising inflation.
The global push for windfall taxes comes as some corporations, especially those in the oil and gas sector, have posted record profits since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Canada, the latest quarterly report on gross domestic product from Statistics Canada says non-financial corporations have benefited from strong energy prices. According to the federal agency, dividends paid out by such corporations were up 9.1 per cent in the second quarter of 2022. Meanwhile, worker compensation in Canada rose two per cent.
Senior economist David Macdonald of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives recently looked at just how much gross domestic product is accounted for by corporate profits. His analysis found that after-tax corporate profits reached a historically high percentage of the total Canadian economy output in the second quarter of this year.
In contrast, Macdonald found workers’ compensation as a share of gross domestic product fell to the lowest level since 2006. “The inflationary period has been a tremendously good period for corporate profits, less so for workers’ wages.”
Macdonald supports imposing windfall taxes to address this trend.
The NDP has been calling on the federal government to extend the windfall tax levied on financial institutions earlier this year to the oil and gas sector as well as big box stores. The party has argued the funds raised from extending the windfall tax could be used to send more money to low- and modest-income families struggling with high inflation.
On the latter proposal, the NDP posted a win when the Liberals announced on Tuesday they would double the GST rebate for six months. As for extending the windfall tax, NDP finance critic Daniel Blaikie said he’s received no indication from Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland that it was on the table.
“We are going to continue to push on these things,” Blaikie said. “And I think the announcement about the GST rebate is cause for some optimism that even when the government gets it wrong out of the gate that we can make them change course.”
The Finance Department declined to comment on whether it is considering extending the windfall tax policy.
Many economists oppose windfall taxes over concerns they can discourage business investment.
Michael Smart, an economics professor at the University of Toronto and co-director of the Finances of the Nation project, said the EU’s pursuit of a windfall tax reflects a unique situation in that region, with energy prices having shot up dramatically.
“We don’t face quite the same situation here,” Smart said, adding that windfall taxes are difficult to implement and should be seldom used.
“I don’t think it’s warranted (here).”
Mostafa Askari, chief economist at the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy, said if the government were to pursue a windfall tax, it would first have to decide its intended purpose.
“Targeting (the) energy sector, to me, it’s somewhat odd, unless there is a desperate need for extra funding for the government,” he said.
Given government revenues have been up because of high inflation, Askari said the case for extra funding isn’t there. The other concern, he said, is oil and gas companies might be able to pass on these additional taxes to consumers through higher prices.
However, despite disagreement among economists on the policy, polling suggests the overwhelming majority of Canadians support a tax on businesses whose profits were extraordinarily high during the pandemic. A poll conducted by Abacus Data on behalf of the Broadbent Institute and the Professional Institute for the Public Service of Canada in July 2021 found 87 per cent of Canadians were in favour of the policy.
The survey was conducted online with 1,500 Canadian adults from July 13 to 19, 2021. It cannot be assigned a margin of error because online polls are not considered truly random samples.
Blaikie said the NDP is relying on public support to convince the Liberals on the policy.
“I think the more Canadians that are out there calling for these kinds of measures alongside us in the NDP, the more likely we are to see a positive result.”

Vatican envoy comes under fire as he delivers aid in Ukraine
Published: Sep. 18, 2022 at 10:56 AM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The Vatican news service says a top envoy and his entourage who were distributing humanitarian supplies in Ukraine came under fire, but there were no injuries. The incident took place near the city of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday and forced Vatican Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski and others to take cover.
Russian shelling hit cities and towns across a wide stretch of Ukraine during the night, officials said Sunday, while the British defense ministry warned that Russia is likely to increase its attacks on civilian targets as it suffers battlefield defeats.

The group held banners that read: “Protecting the family is a national security issue.”
LGBTQ parades have not been allowed in Turkey since 2015.
Ahead of Sunday’s demonstration, the organizers circulated a video using images from past LGBTQ Pride marches in Turkey. The video was included in the public service announcement list of Turkey’s media watchdog.
The video and the demonstration prompted an outcry from LGBTQ associations and other rights groups. The organizers of Istanbul Pride called on the governor’s office to ban the event and authorities to take down the video, arguing they were hateful.
ILGA Europe, which works for LGBTQ equality, tweeted it was extremely concerned about the risks of violence.
“The Turkish state needs to uphold its constitutional obligation to protect all its citizens against hate and violence,” it said.
Amnesty International’s Turkey office said public service announcements listing the event violated Turkey’s equality and non-discrimination principles.
Top Turkish officials have called LGBTQ people “perverts” who aim to hurt traditional family values.

At this year’s NYFW, crypto and Web3 take the spotlight in the world of haute couture
For the second time since the global pandemic, New York Fashion Week has dawned upon the city, bringing a flock of cascading black silk, billowing sleeves, and sky-high stilettos to the streets of Lower Manhattan. Models drape themselves about town, Perrier water flows, and the glitterati party like it’s 2019; yet vestiges of the pandemic hide in the crevices. After two years in a digital void, something in the culture has shifted—and this time, NFTs, the techno-pandemic darling, are taking center stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@gamblebee.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one gamblebee.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

(WTNH) – You need pretty thick skin to be a politician. For all of your supporters and cheerleaders, there are opponents and detractors.
These days, people seem to think it’s OK to publicly bash politicians on social media and even in public to the point where it gets downright venomous.
Last week, a Tolland man was accused of threatening and harassing Republican State Rep. Tammy Nuccio and was arrested.
Nuccio is discussing the incident.
Watch the video above for the full segment.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An appeals court ruling could mean the end of a federal lawsuit filed by the parents of a Black teenager who was naked and unarmed when he was shot and killed by suburban Oklahoma City police in 2019.
Police said 17-year-old Isaiah Lewis was naked when he broke into an Edmond home in April 2019 and attacked two officers. He was fatally shot after a stun gun didn’t stop him, Edmond police said.
Attorneys for Lewis’ parents said the teenager was experiencing a mental breakdown when the officers “unjustifiably” shot him.
But a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver on Friday ruled in favor of Officer Denton Scherman, who fired the fatal shots, saying he was entitled to qualified immunity for his actions, the Oklahoman reported on Saturday.
Attorneys for Lewis’ parents could ask the full appeals court to reconsider the ruling.
An autopsy found Lewis sustained gunshot wounds to his face, thighs and groin. Toxicology tests showed he had detectable amounts of a common antihistamine called diphenhydramine and THC, the active ingredient of marijuana, in his system.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Miami had its first big test of the season on the road in College Station, and they came up just short. Mistakes doomed the Hurricanes in a 17-9 loss in Texas.
Here are 10 things we learned from the eight-point loss Saturday night:
Two bad games in a row for Tyler Van Dyke
Much of the Hurricanes’ hopes lie on Van Dyke’s right shoulder, and he could not deliver on Saturday. The third-year sophomore completed 21-of-41 passes for 217 yards with no touchdowns.
Van Dyke didn’t throw an interception in the loss, but he threw a couple of passes that came scarily close to Texas A&M defenders’ hands.
Pro Football Focus was not kind to Van Dyke for the second week in a row. He received a 56.8 passing score from the website and a 55.0 overall offensive score.
“I’ve just got to be a little more accurate,” Van Dyke said. “Certain times of the game, just got to make throws.”
Miami tried to get Van Dyke more involved in the running game, too. He ran more option plays, and he carried the ball five times for 14 yards.
Miami needs a receiver to step up
The Hurricanes went to College Station down one of their crucial players. Slot wide receiver Xavier Restrepo is out with a foot injury, and Cristobal said after the game that the Deerfield Beach High alum would be out at least six weeks.
Restrepo entered Saturday as Miami’s leading wide receiver, and at the end of the game, he was still the team’s leading wide receiver. The Hurricanes’ receiving corps had trouble getting open against the Aggies’ depleted secondary.
Even though Van Dyke was off on Saturday, the wide receivers did not help his cause. They had three official drops (Pro Football Focus dings the Hurricanes for an additional drop), including one on a pass to Henry Parrish Jr. that would have almost certainly been a first down. The final — and most heartbreaking — drop came on Miami’s final offensive play of the game when the ball hit off Brashard Smith’s hands to end the Hurricanes’ final offensive drive.
“We’ve got to do a better job as a supporting cast to give [Van Dyke] an opportunity,” Cristobal said.
Tight end Will Mallory led Miami with six catches and 56 yards, and he had the top receiving score from Pro Football Focus (69.1). Key’Shawn Smith had three catches for 42 yards on nine targets (61.6), Jacolby George had three catches for 41 yards (65.9) on five targets, Michael Redding III had three catches for 29 yards on 10 targets, and Brashard Smith had three catches for 14 yards on four targets.
Running game is productive
Although Miami struggled to move the ball through the air, the running game was a bright spot. Parrish led the team in rushing for the third straight game, getting 16 carries for 85 yards. Jaylan Knighton, in his first full game of action, had 14 carries for 77 yards.
Together, Miami’s top two running backs averaged 5.4 yards per carry. Parrish received a 75.8 running grade, and Knighton received a 67.8.
There were drives where the Hurricanes’ running backs were the primary source of offense, but as Miami turned more toward the passing game late in the loss, the carries slowed down.
Red zone woes
The Hurricanes punched inside the Aggies’ 25-yard line four times on Saturday night, and they totaled only nine points on those drives. Miami did not score one touchdown in the loss.
“It’s not good enough,” Cristobal said. “If you’re going to get down in the red zone against a team like this at their place, with as good as their defense is, you’ve got to score touchdowns and try to put them behind a little bit, make them chuck the ball around a little bit.”
The toughest pill to swallow was in the third quarter when, down by two touchdowns, Miami made it to the Texas A&M 4-yard line after a run by Knighton. Instead of going for it on fourth down, the Hurricanes settled for a short field goal to cut the deficit to 11 points.
“I thought we needed points,” Cristobal said. ”I thought we needed a little bit of momentum. We had been down there, had one blocked, had missed another field goal as well before we were just outside the red zone. Thought we were going to get some points on the board and make it a productive drive.”
Special teams mistakes hurt
The biggest play of the game was in the first quarter. After Miami forced a Texas A&M three-and-out, the Aggies punted to Tyrique Stevenson. Stevenson tried to field the ball on a bounce, and it popped out of his hands as he anticipated the hit.
Texas A&M recovered the fumble and scored one of its two touchdowns thanks to the turnover and the short field.
“He made a poor decision, one that I’m sure … you carry that one with you,” Cristobal said. “That’s very uncharacteristic of him. He’s been a good decision-maker and certainly, we gave them the football and they ended up scoring the touchdown.”
The game may have had a different result if not for that special teams mistake. But it wasn’t the only tough special-teams play. Andy Borregales missed his first two field goals of the season: After hitting a 28-yard field goal, he missed a 49-yarder. The Aggies blocked another field-goal attempt in the second quarter, so the Hurricanes missed out on another six points.
Defense keeps Miami in the game
Aggies quarterback Haynes King struggled mightily the previous week, and his replacement, Max Johnson, did not fare much better on Saturday.
Miami held Johnson to 10 completions on 20 attempts for 140 yards, and the Hurricanes broke up five passes.
Cornerback DJ Ivey had his best game of the season and potentially of his college career. He made three tackles and broke up two passes. He had his highest defensive score (79.1) and coverage grade (79.9). Both were the highest marks of his career.
Stevenson, James Williams and Kamren Kinchens also had solid games in pass coverage.
The run defense was also solid, holding electric running back Devon Achane to 88 yards on 18 carries. Linebacker Corey Flagg Jr. excelled in run defense on Saturday, making five total tackles and earning a team-leading 89.8 run-defense grade. Flagg led the team with a 83.3 defensive score.
The Hurricanes gave the Aggies fits with their pass rush. Miami had three sacks and had six tackles for loss. Leonard Taylor had the best pass-rushing grade (77.7), and Akheem Mesidor, who returned from an injury that kept him out last week against Southern Miss, earned a 74.0 score.
“That front seven, particularly the front four, put a lot of pressure on them, made them uncomfortable,” Cristobal said. “Even some of the throws they made were under duress. They were consistently in the backfield.
“They got us on a couple of their gap schemes. They ran counter and split zone, a couple wide zones, they hit as well, but aside from that, made some negative plays. Certainly, I think we had three or four sacks, but several quarterback hits and made it uncomfortable for the quarterback and allowed our coverages to play tighter. That goes hand-in-hand.”
Offensive line improves
Miami’s offensive line had a solid day in the Hurricanes’ loss. As a whole, the Hurricanes had a 75.9 grade in pass blocking (improved from 69.4 last week) and a run-block grade of 56.9 (about the same as last week’s 56.7 score).
“They did a good job,” Van Dyke said. “No sacks, ran the ball really well and made some good holes for the running backs. Those guys did a great job.”
Miami did not allow a sack in the loss. Van Dyke had to scramble three times, according to Pro Football Focus, and took a couple of hits, the offensive line largely provided him with time to throw.
John Campbell Jr. was Miami’s highest-rated lineman, earning a 73.8 overall offensive score. He provided excellent pass blocking, earning an 89.6 pass-block grade. DJ Scaife also earned an 80.4 grade in pass blocking.
Penalties prove killer
Two crucial holding penalties damaged the Hurricanes’ chances of making a comeback late in the game. Miami got the ball with 7:06 left in the fourth quarter, and UM picked up two first downs on three plays.
On the next play, tight end Will Mallory was flagged for holding, setting up a first and 20. Two plays later, a completed pass to Redding was negated by another holding call on Zion Nelson. The second hold put the Hurricanes 30 yards from a first down.
The referees hit the Hurricanes for one more penalty on the drive, calling an illegal formation on a punt UM downed at the Texas A&M 1-yard line.
‘Canes can handle big environments
Despite a disappointing loss to Appalachian State the previous week, the Texas A&M crowd showed up to support their team. The announced attendance Saturday night reached 107,245 — the third-largest crowd in Kyle Field history and the largest for a nonconference opponent.
Miami Hurricanes - The U Report
Despite the massive crowd, the Hurricanes did not appear rattled. Although they struggled, their preparations for the crowd noise kept the hostile audience from being a major factor. Miami was flagged for only one false start.
“We know how to compete, or at least we showed that we can compete in a difficult environment, but competing in itself is just not enough,” Cristobal said. “You’ve got to execute. You’ve got to prevent shooting yourself in the foot on some things. But we have a high-character team, competitive character is high.”
Time to improve
Miami hung with Texas A&M through the entire game. The Hurricanes outgained the Aggies and performed better in several statistical categories.
But Miami fans and the team likely believe that was a game they should have won. The Hurricanes have one more nonconference game against Middle Tennessee before ACC play begins, and they will have to build on this performance if they want to compete for the conference title.
“There is no choice. It’s really not a choice,” Cristobal said.
“We’ve worked very hard to become a competitive football team and to have an opportunity … on a big stage like this, and we came up short. There’s no sugarcoating that. And I’m not going to sugarcoat that. We have to go and get better and eliminate issues that hurt us in this game. And also, the things that we do well to get better at them and go forward. No one else is going to pick us up. We’ve got to do it ourselves.”

In the 1-0 red-green applause the performance of Iannarilli, who saved a penalty from Di Carmine. The crisis of Castori’s men continues, fourth last at 4 points
Iannarilli para, Partipilo scores. And Ternana wins the Umbrian derby. At Liberati, the postponement of B’s sixth round ends with Lucarelli’s team 1-0 against Castori’s Perugia. The green-and-reds rejoice and fly to seventh place in the standings, hooking Cagliari to 10 points. Continues the crisis of results of the red and white, who remain fourth to last with only 4 points.
LEAK IN RECOVERY
—
A quarter of an hour of study, then half an hour of emotions. The first opportunity is for Ternana, with Partipilo’s high header. Then you take the Iannarilli scene. In a few minutes, the red-green goalkeeper responds to Bartolomei’s nice left-footed volley and then saves the penalty to Di Carmine (assigned on 25 ‘after Di Bello’s video control, for Coulibaly’s stomp in the area on Casasola). And before the break, the match is marked by Prestipilo, who first tries to head on Mantovani’s long throw, then in full recovery he takes advantage of Palumbo’s cut cross and sends the flying platter behind Gori which is worth 1-0 .
RED-GREEN COMPACTNESS
—
In the second half, Perugia reacts, but it is Ternana who is close to doubling, first with a free kick from Palumbo, spiked by Capuano, then with an unsuccessful counterattack by Gori. Useless the changes of Castori, who is unable to change the inertia of the match. Also thanks to a capital performance of the red-green defense. So much so that the last chance to score is still for the hosts, with the new entry Cassata with a right from the edge countered by Sgarbi.

Report: Some census takers who fudged data didn’t get fired
(AP) - Some census takers who falsified information during the 2020 count didn’t have their work redone fully, weren’t fired in a timely manner and in some cases even received bonuses, according to the U.S. Commerce Department’s watchdog group.
The findings released Friday by the Office of Inspector General raise concerns about possible damage to the quality of the once-a-decade head count that determines political power and federal funding,
Off-campus students at colleges and universities were likely undercounted since the census started around the same time students were sent home to stop the spread of COVID-19 in March 2020, the review found.
During the 2020 census, The Associated Press documented cases of census takers who were pressured by their supervisors to enter false information into a computer system about homes they had not visited so they could close cases during the waning days of the census.
Supervisors were able to track their census takers’ work in real time through mobile devices that the census takers used to record information about households’ numbers, demographic characteristics and members’ relationships to one another. As a result, supervisors would get alerts when actions raised red flags about accuracy, such as a census taker recording data on a home while far away from the address or a census taker conducting an interview in just a few minutes. As a quality control check, others census takers were sent back to homes to re-interview residents.
The Inspector General’s probe concluded that some alerts weren’t being properly resolved, some re-interviews weren’t properly conducted and that the work of some census takers whose work had been flagged for falsifying data had not been reworked to fix its accuracy. In fact, some census takers whose work was flagged for falsifications were given more cases, weren’t fired and were reassigned to other operations, the report said.
Of the 1,400 census takers who were designated “hard fails” because questions about the accuracy of their work, only 300 were fired for misconduct or unsatisfactory performance. Of the 1,400 “hard fail” census takers, 1,300 of them received bonuses ranging from $50 to $1,600 each, the report said.
The census is the largest nonmilitary mobilization in the U.S. Data gathered during the census determines how many congressional seats each state gets. The numbers also are used for redrawing political districts and distributing $1.5 trillion in federal spending each year. Because of that, undercounts can cost communities funding.
The 2020 census faced unprecedented challenges including the pandemic, natural disasters and political interference from the Trump administration.
In response to the Inspector General’s report, the Census Bureau said it appreciated the concerns that were raised but disagreed with the conclusions that data quality may have been damaged since the report cited only a small number of cases out of the overall workload.
“As a result, we asserted that the findings could not and should not be presented as a conclusive assessment of overall census quality,” Census Bureau Director Robert Santos said in the written response.
Under Census Bureau rules, college and university students should have been counted where they spent the most time, either at on-campus housing or off-campus apartments, even if they were sent home because of the pandemic. Most schools didn’t provide the Census Bureau with off-campus student data, and the bureau had to use a last-resort, less-accurate statistical tool to fill in the information gaps on more than 10% of the off-campus student population when they were given the information, the Inspector General’s report said.
Schools often didn’t provide the data because they didn’t information on off-campus students or because of privacy concerns. The Inspector General recommends passage of legislation that would require schools to provide needed information in future head counts.
“Although difficult to quantify, the fiscal implication of specifically undercounting off-campus students at the correct location for states and localities is potentially far-reaching,” the report said.
The city of Boston, which is home to Northeastern University, Boston University and several other schools, said in a challenge to its census figures that the count missed 6,000 students.

Boy will be hired to end the lord’s life
In “Sertão Sea”, around Zé Paulino (Sergio Guizé) Canta Pedra was only possible because the cowboy was saved by Adamastor (Everaldo Pontes)a pastor who found him in the middle of the neighborhood after the serious car accident he suffered at the beginning of the soap opera.
During Zé Paulino’s recovery, he even called Candoca (Isadora Cruz)making her rescuer go to the city looking for her and reveal to the doctor’s mother that her fiancé was alive, who couldn’t stand the emotion and died before telling the truth to her daughter.
Who also heard the news was Tertulinho (Renato Góes)who even after years and with the return of Zé Paulino to the city, will be desperate with the possibility of his wife knowing that the information that the cowboy and now businessman was alive has been around for years.
Therefore, alongside the mother, the scammer will hire Mirinho (Lucas Galvino), giving the order to end Adamastor’s life. However, the boy will be surprised to arrive at the pastor’s house and find that he has lost his sight: “Sorry for the darkness. Light is of no use to me anymore…”, will say the same, making the meeting take on another meaning.

By Dennis Peprah
Bui (B/R), Sept. 18, GNA – The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has lauded the Bui Power Authority (BPA) for taking the lead to drive the nation’s efforts to achieve the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Global goal 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
It is intrinsically linked to all 16 of the other Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Just about eight years to go, Dr Angelina Lusigi, the Resident Representative of the UN’s state agency, described the BPA’s solar farm developed at the dam site as exceptional, noting the project had put the nation on the right path to achieving the set target for the SDGs 13 and related goals by 2030.
After touring the BPA’s 400 megawatts hydro-electric power generating station at Bui in the Banda District of the Bono Region, Dr Lusigi said Ghana had tremendous opportunities from the BPA’s renewable energy to drive the SDGs.
She said she was highly impressed and excited about the Authority’s floating solar panel on its reservoir and commended the Management of the BPA for its innovations to expand the electricity supply.
Dr Wisdom Ahaitaku Togobo, the Director of Renewable Energy, BPA, explained the Authority’s solar farm adds 50 megawatts of power to the dam’s generating capacity.
He said the BPA was still developing the solar farm to meet its target of adding 250 megawatts to the dam, saying the Authority had expanded its switch yard to accommodate more power, and work was also progressing on an additional four megawatts floating solar panel on the dam’s reservoir.
The BPA had also installed battery power banks to take care of intermittencies, Dr. Togobo added and expressed the hope that the Authority’s existing collaboration with the UNDP would be deepened to push Ghana’s urge to achieve the set target for the global goals.
He said the BPA was also undertaking feasibility studies to enable the country to generate power from her Western Rivers, comprising Rivers Tano, Ankobra and Pra, but regretted that if not brought under control, illegal mining activities could threaten the hydro-power project.
“Galamsey poses a serious threat to hydro-power production in the country, and we must all support in the fight against the menace”, Dr Togobo added.
Dr George Ortsin, the National Coordinator, UNDP Global Small Grants Programme (GEF), said the UN agency was supporting the communities around the dam’s enclave in the management of natural resources.
“We, therefore, hope to expand our green climate fund to support the laudable interventions of the BPA to achieve desirable outcomes”, he added.
Another intervention of the BPA, the UNDP’s Resident Representative lauded during her visit, was the Authority’s Forest Resource Enhancement Programme (FREP) aimed at re-foresting the dam’s enclave.
According to Mr Chrisentus Kuunifa, the Deputy Director, Occupational Health, Safety and Environment of the BPA, the Authority had currently developed 1,400 plantations around the dam’s enclave to protect the national asset.
It contained different tree species, including Teak, Cassia, Cedrela, Mahogany, Oframo and many others.
Mr Kuunifa indicated the FREP was one of the BPA’s primary climate change mitigation tools being implemented on the acquired land within the Black Volta Basin and Tsatsadu enclaves.
He said the dam had acquired enough lands, saying with support, the FREP could cultivate and nurture more than 5,000 acres of plantation every year and appealed to the UNDP to extend its support to the project.
Earlier, Dr Lusigi and her entourage visited and acquainted themselves with actual electricity generation at the dam’s power house and the system control room,

BEIJING, Sept. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states on Friday made fruitful achievements by signing the Samarkand Declaration and a raft of documents and statements for not only regional countries but also the international community, showing the world the organization's and regional countries' joint pursuit of stability and development amid a complicated global geopolitical situation.
The prospering organization is becoming a stronger force in upholding international order by appealing to more countries to join in, and playing a more important role on the global economic stage, such as serving as a stabilizing force of international energy and food markets. The region is working closely in doubling down on efforts in fighting terrorism in this region. The SCO represents an ideal international relationship that countries have long desired, said experts.
President Xi on Friday attended the restricted session of the 22nd meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO. While delivering a keynote speech, he pointed out that since its founding more than 20 years ago, the SCO has upheld the Shanghai Spirit and succeeded in exploring a new path for the development of international organizations.
Xi also outlined several priorities going forward for the SCO state members, including staying committed to the Shanghai Spirit and enhancing solidarity and cooperation, maintaining strategic independence and safeguarding regional stability, pursuing inclusiveness and shared benefits in promoting development cooperation, and advancing the SCO expansion process and strengthening SCO institutions.
Zhu Yongbiao, executive director of the Research Center for the Belt and Road and director of the Center for Afghanistan Studies at Lanzhou University, told the Global Times on Friday that the fruitful contents of the Samarkand Declaration showed that the SCO is marching toward becoming a more international organization from a regional organization, while its membership expands along with the member states' issues of interest.
The Shanghai Spirit upheld by the SCO members could also be applied in dealing with international issues, Zhu said.
On Friday, SCO member states signed the Samarkand Declaration and issued statements on safeguarding global food security and energy security, addressing climate change, and maintaining a secure, stable and diversified supply chain.
Besides traditional regional security and development cooperation, the Samarkand Declaration also contained various international issues such as concern over unilateral protectionist actions that undermine the multilateral trading system. It also demonstrated that the SCO has become more mature and contributed more to the international governance system and improvement of the global order, Zhu said.
Calling for joint efforts to counter terrorism is an important part of the declaration. It noted that based on each country's laws and coordination, state members are working to form common principles and stances on creating a unified list of banning terrorist, separatist and extremist activities.
The upgrading of various anti-terrorist institutions to a comprehensive security threat center as well as joint statements on issues including food security and climate change are a natural expansion after 20 years of the organization's development, and is also a necessary move amid new security challenges facing the region, Zhu said.
In addition to stressing joint efforts on countering terrorism, the Samarkand Declaration has also expressed member states' concerns over the security of outer space and other controversial fields.
"Member states stand for keeping outer space free from weapons of any kind and state the major importance of the unfailing implementation of the existing legal framework envisaging only the peaceful use of outer space," the document says.
The SCO's proposals on international issues have greatly boosted the UN's significance and inclusiveness, as many international mechanisms represent the will of developed countries but do not give full consideration to developing countries, according to Zhu.
Growing bigger with a better future
One of the most important achievements reached in Samarkand is the expansion of member states. The SCO was founded with six members in 2001 and has since expanded to eight, in addition to having four observer states and six dialogue partners. On Friday, a memorandum of obligations on Iran's SCO membership was signed, and the SCO members began a process to admit Belarus to the SCO.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt will formally become SCO dialogue partners with the signing of relevant documents, and negotiations will be held on granting Bahrain, the Maldives and other states' the status of dialogue partner.
Chinese analysts said that more countries are expected to apply to become full members of the SCO due to its growing attraction.
The attraction of SCO is that it helps member states safeguard their independence and sovereignty, provides them with broader space for cooperation, and enhances their international voice and influence. It also helps members effectively cope with changes in the international and regional situations, hedge external pressure and respond to security threats, and resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, Zhao Huirong, an Eastern European studies expert from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Friday.
Zhao said China and Russia, as founding members and permanent members of the UN Security Council, have an important leading role in the development of the SCO, and the two countries have common interests in promoting peace and development in the region, and putting forward many initiatives. The two countries have established a high level of strategic partnership of coordination, which to a large extent guarantees the stable development of the SCO, Zhao said.
SCO Secretary-General Zhang Ming told media recently that many other countries have also expressed the hope that they can become members, observer states or dialogue partners.
The Shanghai Spirit, which features mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of common development, is increasingly important in the current international environment amid hegemony and small cliques, and more countries that prefer multilateralism and peaceful development are attracted by the SCO as the organization can maintain unity and solve stability and development issues in the region, Yang Jin, an associate research fellow at the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.
Zhou Rong, a senior researcher at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies of the Renmin University of China, said that the SCO has evolved from an organization mainly focusing on border safety cooperation to incorporating nations from a wider geographical context.
"It will become an organization that represents the emerging nations, which will play a pivotal role in safeguarding world stability and peace," Zhou said.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has sought a first information report (FIR) in connection with alleged suicide attempts by students of a private university in Punjab's Mohali after their 'videos' were 'leaked'.
The Commission said it has come across multiple media reports and Twitter posts alleging that videos of girls living in a hostel of Chandigarh University have been leaked and some of them tried to end their lives.
Protests erupted on the campus of the university over 'rumours' that some objectionable videos of several women students were recorded.
Students also claimed that the administration was trying to cover up the cases of suicides.
Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police Vivek Sheel Soni, however, told reporters that it has been found during preliminary investigation that a woman student, who had been apprehended, had shared her own video with someone stated to be from Himachal Pradesh whose role is also under the scanner.
Urging people not to pay attention to any rumour, Soni said no case of attempted suicide by any woman student has come to notice. He also said no death took place in connection with the incident.
The university authorities also rejected reports that videos of several women students were made and shared on social media.
In a statement, the NCW said chairperson Rekha Sharma has written to the Director General of Police, Punjab to immediately file an FIR against the culprits and to deal with the matter strictly and without any laxity.
The victims must be given proper counselling and their safety and security must be ensured, the NCW said.
The women rights body has also written to Vice Chancellor, Chandigarh University to take stringent action against the culprits in accordance with law and that the university must investigate the matter extensively and in a fair manner.
The Commission has also urged chairperson, Punjab State Commission for Women to immediately inquire into the facts of the case and ensure that the police is conducting a fair investigation in the matter without any influence.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday ordered a probe into the matter following the protests that took place past midnight in the Chandigarh University campus located on the Ludhiana-Chandigarh road.

At least 6,000 Afghan refugees leave for Iran daily: Envoy
The Iranian Ambassador to Afghanistan, Bahadur Aminian, says at least 6,000 Afghan citizens enter Iran every day and that only about half have visas.
The rest enter illegally, he said, adding that these migrants risk falling victim to human traffickers.
Speaking to the BBC Aminian said the only way to reduce the wave of refugees into Iran was to create job opportunities in Afghanistan.
He said Tehran was ready to work with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) in this respect.
Khalil Rahman Haqqani, the Acting Minister of Refugee and Repatriation, meanwhile said that in order to prevent illegal immigration and drug trafficking, the deployment of special military forces was needed along the border between the two countries, which, according to him, is possible with the cooperation of both countries.
Iran in the west and Pakistan in the east of Afghanistan are transit destinations for Afghan refugees who use them to reach third countries.

IEA ‘alarmed’ over Tajik-Kyrgyz border clashes
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said Sunday the border clashes between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan were “alarming” and that continued clashes could affect the security of the region.
The ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement “these clashes have caused problems for civilians on both sides, particularly, leading to the displacement of thousands of civilians on the Kyrgyz side. The casualties and displacement of civilians is unfortunate.
“The Islamic Emirate calls on both sides to resolve border issues through dialogue and understanding. Continued clashes can undermine the security and stability of the entire region,” the statement read.
This comes after border clashes started on Wednesday, with the two sides later agreeing to a cease-fire, but both sides accused each other of breaching the deal, and Kyrgyzstan declared a state of emergency in the Batken region late Friday.
Kyrgyzstan’s death toll from the border clashes with Tajikistan rose to 36, with 129 others getting injured, its Health Ministry said on Sunday.
Kyrgyzstan also said nearly 136,000 residents were evacuated from villages near Tajikistan.
In a statement on Saturday, the UN secretary-general’s spokesman called on the leadership of the two countries to engage in dialogue for a lasting cease-fire. “Both sides should take full advantage of the existing mechanisms on the ground to defuse tensions,” Stephane Dujarric said.

Kabulov says US ‘no longer included in Extended Troika’
Russia’s special envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov said the United States is no longer included in the Extended Troika, and instead, Iran will take its place.
In a televised interview with Sputnik last week, Kabulov said the US was using this structure to advance its own interests, and that Washington’s participation in the Extended Troika was not beneficial for Afghanistan.
“America was trying to use its presence in this structure to advance its interests, this approach was in conflict with the interests of Afghanistan, Russia and the entire region; Iran’s presence in this structure is more important than America, we hope that India will also actively participate in this process,” said Kabulov.
Kabulov also indicated that the troika members hoped to hold discussions with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) in the coming weeks.
“Establishing an inclusive government is the central topic of our discussion with the Afghan leadership; the new Troika members will try to meet with the new rulers of Afghanistan to convince them to bring reforms in various sectors,” Kabulov said.
“The Taliban (IEA) want their government to be recognized, but they need to know the relationship between this issue and their domestic politics. We will hold talks with the new government in the coming weeks, and then the Moscow format meeting will be held before the coming of the new year,” he said.

Bus for COVID-19 quarantine in China crashes, killing 27
A bus reportedly taking 47 people to COVID-19 quarantine in southwest China crashed in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday morning, killing 27 and injuring 20 others, AP reported.
The bus overturned on an expressway in Guizhou province, a brief statement from the Sandu county police said, without mentioning any connection to quarantine. The injured were being treated, it said.
Chinese business news outlet Caixin said that Sandu officials confirmed that the passengers were “epidemic-related people” being taken from Guiyang, the provincial capital, to Lido county, which is about 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast.
Guiyang reported about 180 new cases on Friday. China has maintained a strict “zero-COVID” policy that isolates infected people and close contacts to try to contain the spread of the disease.
The bus overturned about 2:40 a.m., according to an online report by an arm of the Guizhou Daily media group. Following the accident, it said that provincial leaders called for an examination into the pandemic transfer and isolation procedures.

Mourners gather at Newcastle Cathedral for memorial service for the Queen ahead of state funeral
A Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving for the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was held at Newcastle Cathedral at 4pm on Sunday, September 18
Mourners across the North East attended a touching memorial service for the Queen at Newcastle Cathedral ahead of her funeral on Monday.
Newcastle Cathedral held a Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving for the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at 4pm on Sunday, September 18. The full Cathedral Choir was in attendance as well as Vice-Lord Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear, the High Sherriff of Tyne and Wear, the Acting Bishop of Newcastle, and civic dignitaries.
Members of the public were advised to arrive at least half an hour before the service started due to the high level of interest and limited capacity. Among those attending the service was Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Kim McGuinness who looked solemn in the crowd.

The Right Reverend Mark Wroe said during the service: "Rarely does one life touch so many of us so deeply and for so long. A life in so many ways defining who we are, inspiring what we might be, and uniting us in all our difference and variety as a nation and across the Commonwealth.
"Most of us have never known our nation, our world, or even our own life without the enduring, faithful gracious, and dignified presence of Her Majesty our late-Queen Elizabeth. Most of us never met her, yet we feel like we knew her. People queued to see her, maybe even you.
"On a royal visit, Maundy Thursday in this Cathedral, Trooping the Colour, or on various royal walkabouts and people even queuing right now for hours to pay their last respects, there will be other moments and memories for each of us which have stood out."

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.

DETROIT (AP) — An appeals court has overturned a Michigan man's 2019 second-degree murder conviction, determining the man's attorney ignored his wishes to admit that he pulled the trigger.
In a ruling last week, the Michigan Court of Appeals said 28-year-old Reinaldo Jamison had wanted to argue in court that he fatally shot Andre Fort in in 2018 in self defense but that attorney David Cripps decided to argue that Jamison was not the gunman.
The three-member panel of the court said in its opinion that Cripps “did not even consider investigating the theory urged by defendant and supported, at least in part, by independent evidence," The Detroit News reported.
The appeals court panel also made clear that it did not believe Cripps' testimony during a 2021 hearing that ended with Macomb County Circuit Judge Joseph Toia denying Jamison's motion for a new trial.
According to the ruling, the judge “clearly erred when it accepted defense counsel's patently incredible testimony on the issue.”
The court also had concerns about Cripps' contention that he could not recall whether he'd ever seen threatening text messages, in contradiction to Jamison's testimony that his brother had shown Cripps the messages.
The court said that even if Cripps was to be believed he should have known about the messages, pointing out that "a police report summarizing the investigation included a description of the text messages.”
Prosecutors in Macomb County have 56 days to decide whether or not to appeal the decision to the Michigan Supreme Court, retry the case or drop the charges. A spokeswoman for Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido told the newspaper on Friday the matter was under review.
Jamison remains in custody, serving a 23-year to 50-year sentence following his murder conviction by a jury in 2019.
An attorney at Cripps' office said that Cripps would not be available for comment until Monday.

Easy loans for salt farmers at 4% interest
Salt farmers will now get loans on easy terms at only 4% interest with a rebate under the central bank's Agricultural and Rural Credit Policy.
The Agricultural Credit Department of the Bangladesh Bank issued a circular in this regard on Sunday.
According to the circular, the loan will be given under a rebate facility interest rate during the salt harvest season (from November to May) in suitable coastal areas.
Loans will be disbursed on an individual and group basis to genuine salt producers, according to the directive.
According to central bank calculations, a salt producer spends a maximum of Tk1,53,500 on one acre, including land rent and water pumping costs.
The borrower has to repay the loan within a maximum of 12 months from the month of loan disbursement.
Salt producers who own land can secure the loan under the rebate facility by submitting the copy of ownership documents and salt produced as collateral.
Sharecroppers must be approved by the land owner and local dignitaries.
Salt producers need only produce their agricultural equipment assistant cards and details of bank accounts opened with Tk10.
No concessional interest will apply if any loan is wholly or partially unpaid at the end of the stipulated term of the disbursed loan. In this case, the normal interest rate determined by the bank will be applicable from the date of loan disbursement.
Banks shall apply for interest compensation at the rate of 4% to Bangladesh Bank within one month of the end of the respective financial year against the loan balance after collection and adjustment of the loans disbursed at rebated interest.
Bangladesh Bank will determine the amount of interest compensation due by on-site verification of 10% of the borrowers. The central bank will pay the interest loss to banks from its own account and arrange for replenishment from the finance ministry.

KOZACHA LOPAN, Ukraine (AP) — In a dank basement behind the local supermarket, metal bars cordon off a corner of the room to form a large cell. Dirty sleeping bags and duvets show three sleeping spots on top of sheets of Styrofoam for insulation from the damp earth floor. In the corner, two black buckets served as toilets.
A few meters (yards) outside the barred cell, three dilapidated chairs stand around a table, cigarette butts and empty husks of pumpkin seeds littering the floor around them.
Ukrainian authorities say this was a makeshift prison where Russian forces abused detainees before Ukrainian troops swept through the village of Kozacha Lopan in a major counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region this month. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said more than 10 such “torture chambers” have been discovered in the region since the hasty withdrawal of Russian troops last week. The claims of what occurred in the room could not be independently confirmed.
Kozacha Lopan, whose edge lies less than two kilometers (just over a mile) from the Russian border, was retaken by Ukrainian forces Sept. 11.
In a statement posted Saturday on its Telegram channel, the prosecutor’s office of the Kharkiv region, in whose jurisdiction Kozacha Lopan lies, said the room seen by AP journalists was used as a torture cell during the occupation of the area. It said Russian forces had set up a local police force that ran the prison, adding that documents confirming the functioning of the police department and implements of torture had been seized. The statement said an investigation was being conducted.
Images the prosecutors released showed a Russian military TA-57 telephone with additional wires and alligator clips attached to it. Ukrainian officials have accused Russian forces of using the Soviet-era radio telephones as a power source to shock prisoners during interrogation.
In his nightly address to the nation Saturday, Zelenskyy mentioned another location, at the railway station in Kozacha Lopan, where he said “a room for torture and tools for electric torture was found.” AP journalists did not see that location.
Zelenskyy compared the Russians to the Nazis during World War II.
“And they will answer in the same way — both on the battlefields and in the courtrooms,” he said.
Burial sites have been found in some areas where Russian forces were pushed out, most notably in the city of Izium, where Ukrainian officials say more than 440 graves have been found near the city’s cemetery. Zelenskyy has said they contain the bodies of civilian adults and children, as well as soldiers, showing signs of violent deaths, some possibly from torture.
Vitalii, a commander in the National Guard, said his team is hunting for graves of possible victims of abuse at the detention center in Kozacha Lopan. He asked to be identified by his first name only for security reasons.
The team is also recovering bodies on the battlefield, which are lying where they fell on farm fields or inside burned-out tanks. The Russian army was pushed all the way back across the border into Russia after holding the area for months. But artillery shells still whistle through the air, fired from inside Russia and landing with resonating thumps and billows of black smoke on Ukrainian territory.
Despite the shelling, a small group of soldiers winds its way along a rutted mud track to where a dead Ukrainian combatant lies, spotted by a drone used to search for bodies and shallow graves.
“It’s a risk. We are always risking our lives and at any moment there might be some shell flying in from the territory of Russia,” Vitalii said.
The dead Ukrainian is lying on his back in body armor and helmet, a cap beneath it to block out the sun. The body has been there for a long time.
They document the scene and lift the remains into a body bag before heading farther along the track to a charred Russian tank. It takes only one of the team to carry away the body bag holding the remains of the Russian found inside.
Autopsies will follow, and the details of the sites recorded and passed on to investigators looking into potential war crimes, Vitalii said.
Throughout this border area, where fierce battles raged, villages bear the devastating scars of war: houses bombed and burned, roads pitted with craters from exploding mortar shells, smashed cars lying by the roadside.
In the days after the Russians were chased out, local people have been returning to see what is left of their homes.
“Three days before we decided to leave, it was like hell in here” from all the shooting, said Larysa Letiucha, 56, in the nearby village of Prudyanka. “It was flying from all over the place. It was whistling and exploding. We hid in the basement and … our door was blasted off.”
She left with her family in April, and returned to check on her property a few days after Ukrainian soldiers retook the village.
“I saw a horror. I still cannot pull myself together,” she said in recounting her first sight of what remained of her house. “We were living here our whole lives. We were building it, making renovations. Our whole life was invested here.”
The windows are blasted in and the ceiling leaks from where a patch is missing from an explosion. In the small house her parents built on the same plot, the entire back part is missing. Shrapnel and debris litter the house.
“Our houses are comfortable even though we live in the village,” Letiucha said. “It’s a horror. I don’t even know when we will renovate and rebuild all of this.”

Crowds with flowers pack Windsor Castle
- Country:
- Canada
Thousands of people made their way to Windsor Castle on Sunday, a day before the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, to lay flowers at the gates of what will be her final resting place.
Many feared the crowds on Monday would prohibit them from paying their last respects at the palace gates, where bouquets had piled up.
Police officers were dotted along the route along the Long Walk, a 3-mile (5-km) avenue where a walking funeral procession will be held before the queen is laid to rest in St George's Chapel.
Mourners went through an security check before entering the premises. More are expected to come after the national silence is observed at 8 pm on Sunday. Mourners have been told not to bring tents or gazebos, only chairs and blankets. Stalls have opened along the road, selling food and refreshments.
Steve Beeson had come with his family of three and was unwrapping the plastic off his bouquet of flowers for the queen, following a strict rule by organisers.
The queen “was the only head of state we have ever known, all our lives,” he said. “She has been a constant steadying of the reigns for the country through all of these really rough times, the least we can do is come and say Thank you.''' ___ London: Prince Andrew has paid tribute to his mother Queen Elizabeth II, saying he will forever treasure “your love for a son, your compassion, your care, your confidence.” Addressing the late monarch as “Mummy, Mother, Your Majesty,” Andrew said “it has been an honour and privilege to serve you.” Andrew, 62, said “I have found your knowledge and wisdom infinite,” adding: “I will miss your insights, advice and humour.” Andrew, the third of the queen's four children, has been relieved of official royal duties and stripped of his honorary military titles over his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Last year he reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with a woman who says she was trafficked by Epstein and filed a US lawsuit accusing the prince of sexual assault when she was 17. Andrew denies the allegations.
___ London: London's transport authority says it is preparing for around 1 million people to visit the British capital Monday for Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral.
Transport for London chief Andy Byford said Sunday the capital has seen “huge numbers of additional passengers” since the queen died on Sept 8. But he said demand will “reach a climax” on Monday.
Across the country some 250 extra train services will run, including some overnight trains. Peter Hendy, chairman of Network Rail, said Monday will see the “biggest public transport operation since the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games”.
More than 100 Heathrow Airport flights will be cancelled to prevent aircraft noise disturbing the funeral at Westminster Abbey Monday morning and the queen's committal service at Windsor Castle afterward.
The west London airport said 15% of its 1,200 flights due to take off or land on Monday will be disrupted.
___ London: The wife of King Charles III is paying homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her strength as a woman in a world dominated by male leaders for much of her 70-year reign.
In a video message being broadcast Sunday night, Queen Consort Camilla says: “It must have been so difficult for her being a solitary woman.” She adds: “There weren't women prime ministers or presidents. She was the only one, so I think she carved her own role.” The late queen, who died Sept 8 aged 96, ended years of debate about Camilla's title when she said on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee earlier this year that it was her “sincere wish” that Camilla, then the Duchess of Cornwall, be known as queen consort when her eldest son became king.
In a personal reflection on her time with the queen, Camilla says: “She's got those wonderful blue eyes, that when she smiles they light up her whole face.” ___ London: London Police say they have charged a man who is accused of lunging at Queen Elizabeth II's coffin as it lay in state at the Houses of Parliament with a public order offense.
The Metropolitan Police say in a statement that Muhammad Khan, a 28-year-old from east London, is charged with behavior intended to “cause alarm, harassment or distress.” Tracey Holland told Sky News that her 7-year-old niece was pushed out of the way by a man who tried to “run up to the coffin, lift up the standard and try to do I don't know what.” She said police detained the man in “two seconds.” Khan is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday – the day of the queen's state funeral.

HAVANA (AP) — Fiona strengthened into a hurricane Sunday as it bore down on Puerto Rico, where it had already left hundreds of thousands without power and threatened to dump potentially “historic” levels of rain.
Forecasters said the downpour was expected to produce landslides and heavy flooding, with up to 25 inches (64 centimeters) possible in isolated areas.
“It’s time to take action and be concerned,” said Nino Correa, Puerto Rico’s emergency management commissioner.
Fiona was centered 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Ponce, Puerto Rico, on Sunday morning. It had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph) and was moving west-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph).
The storm knocked out power to more than half a million customers and several health institutions, including Puerto Rico’s largest public hospital, which was running on generators. Health Secretary Carlos Mellado said crews were working to repair generators as soon as possible at the Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Anxiety ran high across the island with Fiona due just two days before the anniversary of Hurricane Maria, a devastating Category 4 storm that hit on Sept. 20, 2017, destroying the island’s power grid and causing nearly 3,000 deaths.
More than 3,000 homes still have only a blue tarp as a roof, and infrastructure remains weak.
“I think all of us Puerto Ricans who lived through Maria have that post-traumatic stress of, ‘What is going to happen, how long is it going to last and what needs might we face?’” said Danny Hernández, who works in the capital of San Juan but planned to weather the storm with his parents and family in the western town of Mayaguez.
He said the atmosphere was gloomy at the supermarket as he and others stocked up before the storm hit.
“After Maria, we all experienced scarcity to some extent,” he said.
The storm was forecast to pummel cities and towns along Puerto Rico’s southern coast that have not yet fully recovered from a string of strong earthquakes that hit the region starting in late 2019.
Officials reported several road closures across the island as trees and small landslides blocked access.
More than 640 people with some 70 pets had sought shelter across the island by Saturday night, the majority of them in the southern coast.
Many Puerto Ricans also were concerned about blackouts. Luma, the company that operates power transmission and distribution, warned of “widespread service interruptions.”
Puerto Rico’s power grid was razed by Hurricane Maria and remains frail, with reconstruction starting only recently. Outages are a daily occurrence.
In the southwest town of El Combate, which is in the storm’s path, hotel co-owner Tomás Rivera said he was prepared but worried about the “enormous” amount of rain he expected. He noted that a nearby wildlife refuge was eerily quiet.
“There are thousands of birds here, and they are nowhere to be seen,” he said. “Even the birds have realized what is coming, and they’re preparing.”
Rivera said his employees brought bedridden family members to the hotel, where he has stocked up on diesel, gasoline, food, water and ice, given how slowly the government responded after Hurricane Maria.
“What we’ve done is prepared ourselves to depend as little as possible on the central government,” he said.
It’s a sentiment shared by 70-year-old Ana Córdova, who arrived Saturday at a shelter in the north coastal town of Loiza after buying loads of food and water.
“I don’t trust them,” she said, referring to the government. “I lost trust after what happened after Hurricane Maria.”
Puerto Rico’s governor, Pedro Pierluisi, said he was ready to declare a state of emergency if needed and activated the National Guard as the Atlantic hurricane season’s sixth named storm approached.
“What worries me most is the rain,” said forecaster Ernesto Morales with the National Weather Service in San Juan.
Fiona was predicted to drop 12 to 16 inches (30 to 41 centimeters) of rain over eastern and southern Puerto Rico, with as much as 25 inches (64 centimeters) in isolated spots. Morales noted that Hurricane Maria in 2017 had unleashed 40 inches (102 centimeters).
The National Weather Service warned late Saturday that the Blanco River in the southeast coastal town of Naguabo had already surpassed its banks and urged people living nearby to move immediately.
Pierluisi announced Sunday that public schools and government agencies would remain closed on Monday.
Fiona was forecast to swipe the Dominican Republic on Monday and then northern Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands with the threat of heavy rain. It could threaten the far southern end of the Bahamas on Tuesday.
A hurricane warning was posted for the Dominican Republic’s eastern coast from Cabo Caucedo to Cabo Frances Viejo.
Fiona previously battered the eastern Caribbean, killing one man in the French territory of Guadeloupe when floods washed his home away, officials said. The storm also damaged roads, uprooted trees and destroyed at least one bridge.
St. Kitts and Nevis also reported flooding and downed trees, but announced its international airport would reopen on Sunday afternoon. Dozens of customers were still without power or water, according to the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency.
In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Madeline was forecast to cause heavy rains and flooding across parts of southwestern Mexico. The storm was centered about 155 miles (245 kilometers) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes Sunday morning, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph).

A conversation with Boston Celtics culture-setter Marcus Smart, the NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year
No NBA team shifted its energy more than the Boston Celtics last season, and nobody shifts their energy better than Marcus Smart, which makes the eight-year veteran a uniquely impactful player in the league.
Yet, he never gets his due. Critics clamored all of last season for a traditional starting point guard to corral Boston's offense, even though, as Smart has said, he managed to steer the Celtics further than his All-Star predecessors — Isaiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker — ever did. Even Smart's Defensive Player of the Year award drew criticism. People say he shoots too much or gambles too much or flops too much.
For as fiery as Smart is on the court, he is as thoughtful off of it, which is why, when the opportunity arose to sit down with him for an uninterrupted discussion, I thought it was worth letting him tell his own story. We talked about everything from Boston's loss in the NBA Finals to the addition of Malcolm Brogdon, the latest trade rumors concerning Kevin Durant, the growth of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, his relationship to late Celtics legend Bill Russell, his recent charity work with Be The Match and ... yes, his passion for robes.
I asked around about what I should ask you, and one of your former coaches said you have a better handle on the opponent's key actions and tendencies even before the staff presents the pregame scout. How do you have such a great understanding of the other teams and players in the NBA?
"Simple. Before we come together as a team and watch film, I'm watching film and tendencies. I'm looking at my matchup of who I could possibly guard. For me, unfortunately, I'm guarding every position, so that's a lot more work for me. Some guys I'm matched up on as I'm their primary defender. I'm going to see his favorite move, his favorite go-to move and his favorite counter for that go-to move, so I'm reading the tendency of guys before we even get together as a group. By the time we even come up with a scheme, I've already got in my head, when they do put the scheme together, how things are going to work."
There are a few way teams can respond to getting so close to a championship. Most teams over the past 20 years that didn’t have LeBron James failed to get back to the Finals after a loss, with one notable exception: the 2013-14 San Antonio Spurs. Your coach, Ime Udoka, was an assistant on that team. What are your conversations like around coming back with a vengeance, and how do you avoid the trappings of the emotional letdown from everything you went experienced last year?
"You just kind of focus on the things that you can control. That's one of the things that helps us with not falling into that trap of the expectations. Let the outside noise be outside noise, and let them talk. We're inside the house, in our home, which is the Garden and every basketball arena. Everything else is outside. It's not getting in to hurt you. Focus on what you can control, and that's playing hard for your teammates and leaving it all on the court. That allows you to stay away from those traps of the expectations.
"Because you're human. It's tough, especially nowadays. You've got social media. You've got every outlet popping up at you and showing you everything and constantly throwing it in your face, so definitely being able to just focus on what you can control and allowing that to motivate you to continue to keep going."
Your 2018-19 team was coming off a Game 7 loss in the Eastern Conference finals. Expectations were super high, but there was a bit of a chemistry imbalance, if only because you had so much talent on that roster. You had Kyrie Irving, Terry Rozier and yourself all battling for minutes. This year, you’ve added Malcolm Brogdon to a backcourt that already includes you, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard. What have you taken from your past experiences that you can apply to this year in order to avoid the negativity that can naturally find its way into those crowded roster situations?
"Kyrie, Terry, you named some good guys. Payton, Brogdon, all those guys, man. For us, it's more making sure we build that chemistry early on. When you've got a new group of guys, it's hard to build chemistry without spending time together and just being thrown into the fire. You have to build chemistry on the go.
"We've got great guys, we've got great players — and we had great guys, we had great players — but the difference now is we have more experience with each other. Me and Jayson and Jaylen, we've played four or five years together now, whereas at that time it was two, along with trying to develop yourself, as well as trying to do something for the team, alongside learning from guys who have already developed. There was a lot going into it, so we have to build that chemistry before we get on the court. That's what we have to do this year. We know who we have coming. We know who we have here. We know who left. We can build that chemistry now, instead of waiting until Game 3 or Game 4, trying to build the chemistry during the season."
Your name comes up every year in trade rumors. Same with Jaylen. Obviously, that’s part of the business, and I don't want to ask the cliche about how that makes you feel, so let me ask it this way: How difficult do you think it would be for the Celtics to reset the chemistry you guys have built if the front office were to fundamentally change the core group of guys you’ve built this foundation with?
"We experienced it this year. Everybody's seen how tough it really is to bring a new set of people in, who's also trying to prove themselves, to a certain extent, and produce for the team. We witnessed this past season how we handled that, where we're losing to teams we shouldn't be losing to. Nothing against those teams. It's just that we shouldn't have been losing. We're losing leads to the point where everybody's freaking out. We're under .500, and I think that right there tells you how difficult it is to get chemistry going when you have a new anything. We had a new coach and a new group of players and a new system to put in on both offense and defense, so of course nothing was going to go right for us right away.
"If we didn't have everybody, then we'd have to start this whole process over again from square one. What does this person like? OK, he doesn't like this. We'd be in the same situation, where we're using games to get our experience with each other, because there's nothing you can simulate better than a game itself."
I’m curious what you make of Draymond Green. He had a lot to say after the Finals, and I think you two have different personalities, but I mean this as a compliment when I say that you remind me of each other in the sense that you are the culture-setters for your teams. How does that sit with you?
"Guys like Draymond and myself, we're the guys who are going to do the dirty work, so that other players don't have to. I think that shows our character, where we're willing to sacrifice our health, our bodies, mentally, physically, however you want to do it, to make sure that our team and teammates succeed.
"I take it as a compliment. Draymond is very well-respected, rightfully so. His accolades and his play speaks for itself. He's a champion among champions, and he's that leader on their team. Vocally, emotionally, physically, he's the one who gets guys going. He's the one who guys follow when the energy needs to be shifted. It's rare. There's not a lot of people who have it, but the guys who do, you see the similarities in it, and when you see it, you can tell: That's that, I've seen that before. I don't see it a lot, but I've seen it, and that's who we are. We don't have to score 50 points to change the game and be effective.
Are there other guys across the league who you would put in that category?
"I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet, but Mikal Bridges. He was in the running, as well, for DPOY. If I didn't get it, I definitely would have voted for him to get it. He's another guy. Offensively, we know what he can do, but the things he's able to do for that Phoenix Suns team on the defensive end just speaks volumes. He doesn't have to say much, but he goes out there and proves it with the way he plays. Although he might not be as vocal as me and Draymond, he still has those attributes and similarities where we're going to go out there and do the dirty work and fight to help our team win, no matter what that is."
Much was made about the discrepancy in Finals experience between you guys and the Warriors, even though you guys have a ton of playoff experience for a relatively young team. From an outsider’s perspective, I felt like one thing that took on a greater meaning in the Finals was the importance of valuing every single possession, because that’s how razor thin the line is between winning and losing at that level. Do you think that’s something that failed you guys a little bit, and how do you go about getting to that level of focus on the little things as a team going forward?
"I would have to say that assessment, to a certain extent, is true and holds value. They were the more experienced team. Golden State was a lot more experienced. We have a lot of combined experience as well. Al [Horford]'s been in the playoffs for how long? I've been in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Jayson, Jaylen, we have experience playing in the playoffs. Now, Finals experience is different. We were trying so hard to prove to others and ourselves that we belonged there, we just let it slip away from us mentally.
"Having tasted that experience, now coming back to the situation, things are slowing down for us, because it's like, We've gone through that before. I know how we handled it, and this is what the outcome was, so maybe I shouldn't handle it that way. In terms of their experience, that aspect is definitely true, because every situation we threw at them, they've been in, so they knew how to react to it, whereas it might've taken us a game, a half, a few quarters to try to figure it out, and by that time they're running off with it.
"Coming into this season, it's definitely going to help us tremendously, because now we know what to expect, how to expect it, and we know how to look at it. Although we lost — and we don't want to look at it that way — they definitely taught us something, and we'll take it and run with it."
You’ve seen so much growth from Jayson and Jaylen. What do you envision from them individually over the next couple years, and how do you see them growing together as a tandem, based on what you know about their goals, their relationship and all that goes into trying to reach that next level?
"I guess I'm more biased, and I have known them a little bit more, but each and every year they have grown and they have showed us something new that they've added and continued to add to their game. For their future, I only think it's going to increase. They're only going to get wiser and understand the game even more, and I think once they do that, they become even more dangerous than they already are. They're only 24, 25 — these are relatively very young guys who are already here, but can go even higher, so I'm ecstatic and intrigued to see how much they have learned, how much growth they've made and to continue to see them get better individually. And I know as they continue to grow individually, the team will as well."
You are among the few players who can probably say they have legitimately spent time guarding everyone across the NBA. So, let me ask you this: As someone who can switch across all five positions, would you rather spend a possession guarding a Joel Embiid or a Stephen Curry?
Oh, man. That's a tough one. I don't know. I guess it depends on the time of the game and how long I have to guard them. They're unique in different ways, but they can both hurt you in multiple ways. That's a tough one. There's no easy answer with that one. Whoever you get, you're going to wish you didn't have him."
On a more serious note, what was your relationship with Bill Russell, and what did he mean to you?
I didn't know him too well personally. I was able to talk to him a couple times when he was here. I got to watch some old film that we had. But what he went through and sacrificed for us in the time that he was playing, and especially in this city around that time, to be able to say, 'You know what, I'm going to take the pain and the burden to open the doors for our younger generations to have an opportunity more equally than what I had,' he means so much to us in this game and to the African-American community and people of color. At the time, it was very, very ugly. It still is ugly to this day, but back then it was a different type of ugly, and he decided he was going to take a stand by continuing to fight and paving that way for us."
You're here because you've joined with Aflac and Be The Match to encourage everyone to consider swabbing their cheek and joining the national blood stem cell registry. Obviously, this is something that hits home for you. Can you tell me a little bit more about this program and what it means to you?
"I got started with this, because what they do, what they've been doing for years, is providing care and helping patients from lower income who don't have the financial means to help with what they're going through. A lot of the work they do is some of the greatest I can think of, because they're giving back to people who they have no idea who they are, and that says everything you need to know about them.
"Be The Match is doing everything they can — keeping people educated, explaining why we should be a donor, join the registry and really help kids, adults or whoever is going through these blood diseases, such as sickle cell, to say, 'You know what? Here's an option for you that we might have to save your life.'
"The only way for people who are going through some of these cancers and blood diseases to survive is with this transplant, so to have donors in the registry and give people options to save their lives is why I decided to work with Aflac and Be The Match. It hits home with me. I lost my mother [Camellia] to bone marrow cancer four years ago and my brother [Todd Westbrook] about 15 years ago to lung cancer, so when I did more research and continued to educate myself, this was the perfect match, and now I'm here trying to raise awareness for cancer, for sickle cell, for blood diseases, and begging people to get out there, register and become a donor. It's easy. It's simple. Swab your cheek and possibly save somebody else."
What kind of emotions were running through you during last year’s run to the Finals and these last several years of your career. At the very least, I think you can feel some sense of positivity knowing that they would be so proud of you, but not being able to share that with them must be difficult.
"It's tough. It is tough without having my mom and brother here to share it with, but growing up to where I am now, they made so many sacrifices in the time that they were here with us to give me an opportunity to live my dream. It hurt after we won the Eastern Conference finals. I cried at one point to my team for maybe about 10 minutes, and then cried on my own, talking to my mom and my brother, wishing they were here and understanding that they're looking down on me, and they're smiling. I know they're just as proud now than ever. There were a lot of emotions going through my head, my heart, but the one that I focused on was how happy my mom and my brother would be to see me on the biggest stage of my life right now."
Let's end on a lighter note. What's up with the robes this year? You already broke out the DPOY one. Is there anything you can do to top that?
I've got some new robes I might have to get to. I'm going to sporadically throw them into the season."

It’s not uncommon for teams to talk about having respect for their opposition. But Louisiana Tech gave Dabo Swinney a heartwarming reason for Clemson’s head coach to take his praise of the Bulldogs’ program to another level.
Following the Tigers’ 48-20 win over Tech late Saturday night, Swinney carried a box into his postgame press conference. In it, Swinney revealed, were handwritten letters from Tech coach Sonny Cumbie and each of the Bulldogs’ players to Bryan Bresee and his family.
Clemson’s star defensive tackle didn’t play in Saturday’s game. He was back with his family in Maryland following the passing of his sister, Ella, who lost her fight with brain cancer earlier in the week.
“I want to just say how encouraged I was by just the class of Coach Cumbie and La Tech,” Swinney said. “You hear so much bad, and you don’t often times get to hear the good. There’s a lot of good, but unfortunately the bad usually gets the headlines. But I’m going to tell you, just as a human being, I was super encouraged tonight.”
The letters were the second surprise that Cumbie gave the Tigers’ program on the night. During pregame warmups, Cumbie donned the same “Ella Strong” T-shirt that Clemson’s coaches and players had worn before last week’s game against Furman. They wore them again before Saturday’s game, and Swinney wore his during the game.
Swinney said he had never met Cumbie before Saturday night, but his respect for Tech’s first-year coach went up a few notches with the compassion shown by Cumbie and his players.
“I’ll be a fan of his for the rest of his career,” Swinney said. “As I told him after the game, this right here is why he’s going to be successful. Because that really tells me how he’s wired and how he thinks. I’ll be pulling for him forever.
“I really, really appreciated their kindness, their thoughtfulness and just sharing in the pain with the Bresee family, somebody they don’t know. To me, that’s a beautiful thing in college athletics, and I just really want to thank Sonny and his team for that gesture and taking the time to do that. I know this will mean a lot to Bryan and his family.”

Panthers fumble on 1st pair of touches vs. Giants
If you didn’t think the Carolina Panthers could get off to a worse start than they did in last week’s season-opening loss to the Cleveland Browns, then do we have a surprise for you!
On the opening kickoff of their Week 2 matchup with the New York Giants, the Panthers sent second-year running back Chuba Hubbard to take on return duties for an injured Andre Roberts. And in that first taste of action this year, Hubbard fumbled the attempt after a hit from Giants linebacker Carter Coughlin.
GOOD START 😏

— New York Giants (@Giants) September 18, 2022
Rookie safety Dane Belton, in the very first play of his NFL career, recovered the ball for New York. That quick turn of events would then lead to an easy 36-yard field goal from old friend Graham Gano.
But if that wasn’t enough of a rough beginning to this potentially fateful afternoon, the offense would follow with a turnover of their own. On their opening possession, wide receiver Robbie Anderson couldn’t hold on from a hit from cornerback Darnay Holmes.
ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!! 📢

Luckily for the Panthers, their defense would hold for their second straight stand. But the Giants, again, turned the takeaway into three more points.
The Panthers trailed 6-0 at the 2:30 mark of the first quarter.

HERMITAGE, Pa. (WKBN) – A few dozen runners and walkers in the Shenango Valley honored Eliza Fletcher the woman that was kidnapped and murdered while on her morning run.
Organizers wanted to raise awareness and finish Eliza’s run.
The tragic news of Eliza Fletcher’s murder struck a chord amongst the running community nationwide.
“It hit hard and I think it’s just another reminder of none of us are completely 100% safe,” said Jammie Clark, Cycle Life Assistant Manager.
On Sunday, Cycle Life, Buhl Park and Mercer County AWARE joined forces to finish Eliza’s run.
Those in attendance wore purple and pink ribbons, the same color as what Eliza wore on her final run.
Before hitting the pavement, organizers reminded everyone of safety tips they can take.
Including if it’s nighttime to wear bright colors and if you are going to be using headphones to maybe only wear one. But, if you are going to wear two, make sure you keep it at a low enough volume to where you can hear traffic and others.
And sharing location is something advocates say is especially important.
“Whether it be a friend, relative, neighbor, whoever it is. Sharing that location with somebody just in case something would be to happen is crucial,” said Tesla Korodi, AWARE adult counselor advocate.
AWARE focuses on preventing domestic violence and sexual assault in the county. The agency says that violence of this nature isn’t just in the home.
“It can be anywhere. It can happen to anyone at any place. So, its definitely something to be aware of regardless if its in the home or outside of the home,” said Korodi.
Despite that, they don’t want to see anyone stop exercising out of fear.
The goal is to remind everyone that regardless of their age, gender or even what time they work out in the day, they should always feel safe.

Some census takers who falsified information during the 2020 count didn’t have their work redone fully, weren’t fired in a timely manner and in some cases even received bonuses, according to the U.S. Commerce Department’s watchdog group.
The findings released Friday by the Office of Inspector General raise concerns about possible damage to the quality of the once-a-decade head count that determines political power and federal funding,
Off-campus students at colleges and universities were likely undercounted since the census started around the same time students were sent home to stop the spread of COVID-19 in March 2020, the review found.
During the 2020 census, The Associated Press documented cases of census takers who were pressured by their supervisors to enter false information into a computer system about homes they had not visited so they could close cases during the waning days of the census.
Supervisors were able to track their census takers’ work in real time through mobile devices that the census takers used to record information about households’ numbers, demographic characteristics and members’ relationships to one another. As a result, supervisors would get alerts when actions raised red flags about accuracy, such as a census taker recording data on a home while far away from the address or a census taker conducting an interview in just a few minutes. As a quality control check, others census takers were sent back to homes to re-interview residents.
The Inspector General’s probe concluded that some alerts weren’t being properly resolved, some re-interviews weren’t properly conducted and that the work of some census takers whose work had been flagged for falsifying data had not been reworked to fix its accuracy. In fact, some census takers whose work was flagged for falsifications were given more cases, weren’t fired and were reassigned to other operations, the report said.
Of the 1,400 census takers who were designated “hard fails” because questions about the accuracy of their work, only 300 were fired for misconduct or unsatisfactory performance. Of the 1,400 “hard fail” census takers, 1,300 of them received bonuses ranging from $50 to $1,600 each, the report said.
The census is the largest nonmilitary mobilization in the U.S. Data gathered during the census determines how many congressional seats each state gets. The numbers also are used for redrawing political districts and distributing $1.5 trillion in federal spending each year. Because of that, undercounts can cost communities funding.
The 2020 census faced unprecedented challenges including the pandemic, natural disasters and political interference from the Trump administration.
In response to the Inspector General’s report, the Census Bureau said it appreciated the concerns that were raised but disagreed with the conclusions that data quality may have been damaged since the report cited only a small number of cases out of the overall workload.
“As a result, we asserted that the findings could not and should not be presented as a conclusive assessment of overall census quality,” Census Bureau Director Robert Santos said in the written response.
Under Census Bureau rules, college and university students should have been counted where they spent the most time, either at on-campus housing or off-campus apartments, even if they were sent home because of the pandemic. Most schools didn’t provide the Census Bureau with off-campus student data, and the bureau had to use a last-resort, less-accurate statistical tool to fill in the information gaps on more than 10% of the off-campus student population when they were given the information, the Inspector General’s report said.
Schools often didn’t provide the data because they didn’t information on off-campus students or because of privacy concerns. The Inspector General recommends passage of legislation that would require schools to provide needed information in future head counts.
“Although difficult to quantify, the fiscal implication of specifically undercounting off-campus students at the correct location for states and localities is potentially far-reaching,” the report said.
The city of Boston, which is home to Northeastern University, Boston University and several other schools, said in a challenge to its census figures that the count missed 6,000 students.

LONDON (AP) — When Queen Elizabeth II’s grandfather, King George V, died 86 years ago, many homes in Britain had little or no electricity and large parts of the population still lived in slums.
Life in 1936 is unrecognizable to Britons today. But despite almost a century of change, the images from the queen’s lying in state this week are almost exact copies of those from when George V lay in state.
Both used the same vast, medieval Westminster Hall with the coffin resting on a royal purple platform in the middle. A brass cross is at one end of the coffin, the royal standard is draped on top, and tall candlesticks and scarlet and gold-clad ceremonial guards are carefully placed around it.
Historians say maintaining such traditions consistently through time is crucial to preserving reverence for the monarchy.
“When you look at the photographs, it’s like spot the difference isn’t it?” said historian Tracy Borman, author of “Crown and Sceptre: 1000 years of Kings and Queens.”
“People want to see a crown and scepter, they like to see these ceremonies played out the same way,” she added. “People derive some sort of comfort and security from that unchanging nature. It seems to be what people value about the monarchy: nothing changing.”
The queen, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch who ruled for 70 years, was the constant rock of stability in British life before she died on Sept. 8 in Scotland. Even in death, the pomp and pageantry to mark her passing evokes elaborate mourning rituals that seem to be frozen in time.
Before the queen, five British kings and queens have lain in state at Westminster Hall, a 900-year-old building at the center of British politics and power for centuries. The hall hosted numerous medieval coronation banquets, as well as the trials of Guy Fawkes and Charles I in the 17th century.
The tradition of lying in state stretches back to the time of the Stuarts — who reigned from 1603 to 1714 — when sovereigns lay in state for a number of days. But Edward VII was the monarch who set the modern tradition of lying in state in Westminster Hall in 1910. Archival footage showed that just like today, crowds formed huge lines snaking through central London for a chance to file past their sovereign’s coffin.
Historian Ed Owens believes it was a canny move by Edward VII to strengthen the bond between the crown and its subjects.
“He saw the lying in state as a key moment that would bring him as monarch into close contact with his subjects, a final opportunity for them to bid farewell,” said Owens, author of “The Family Firm: Monarchy, Mass Media and the British Public, 1932-1953.”
“This was a moment that would be captured by the new technologies of photography and film,” Owens added. “And it was a way of saying to the wider country and the wider world, that monarch and people were in a kind of spiritual communion.”
Other royals who lay in state at Westminster Hall were King George VI, Elizabeth’s father, in 1952, and Queen Mary, Elizabeth’s grandmother, in 1953. George VI’s wife Queen Elizabeth, known in later years as the Queen Mother after her daughter became monarch, was the last person to lie in state in Britain. Each time, the occasions drew tens of thousands of people.
Two former prime ministers — William Gladstone in 1898 and Winston Churchill in 1965 — also lay in state at Westminster Hall. Churchill also had a state funeral — the last one staged in Britain until Monday, when the state funeral for the queen takes place.
Such pageantry continues to fascinate because it seems to play into an enduring craving for ritual, Borman said.
The monarchy holds “a kind of magnetism” because “you’re staring history in the face, they represent that ancient line stretching back,” she said.
That appeal suits the royals just fine — and indeed, she pointed out that the royal household has been “absolutely dedicated” to upholding the unchanging nature of such ceremonies.
“That is very deliberate, I think,” Borman said. “I guess the heart of that is to stop people getting rid of the monarchy.”

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of AI graduate students in several prestigious international universities concluded their participation in the second edition of the Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence, which concluded yesterday in Riyadh and visited Masmak Palace in the center of Riyadh to be briefed on the history of the capital.
The students represented six countries joined by several Saudi scholarship students in the same specialization. Their participation came within the knowledge exchange initiative launched by "SDAIA" and hosted 19 male and female students of different nationalities including the US, the UK, India, Jordan, Algeria, South Korea, and Nigeria, who study at prestigious international universities and institutes, including the Sorbonne University in Paris, Oxford University, University College London, Durham University, Nottingham University, Sussex University in the UK, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA, and King's College London.
Through this initiative, SDAIA aimed to attract global capabilities in artificial intelligence and to enhance the role of distinguished youth based on the Kingdom's Vision 2030, and its aspirations to enable them to lead the future of artificial intelligence in the Kingdom, the region, and the world.
On this occasion, SDAIA President, Dr. Abdullah Al-Ghamdi explained that the knowledge exchange initiative was designed to achieve several benefits, including engaging visiting students in knowledge exchange dialogues to explore opportunities for future cooperation, and introducing them to the Kingdom's efforts in pioneering the data and artificial intelligence and the future of the sector during a journey that Saudi students will lead with their peers from international universities.
He stressed that "SDAIA" aims through the initiative to build qualitative partnerships that support its efforts in data and artificial intelligence and help attract global capabilities that achieve qualitative addition to the Kingdom, adding that the initiative contributes to activating the distinguished role of Saudi youth and engaging them in a real dialogue that develops their leadership spirit and shows their knowledge capabilities. Al-Ghamdi said that this will enhance the Kingdom's position in data and artificial intelligence, noting that the initiative provides the opportunity to exchange knowledge and explore opportunities for future cooperation through a constructive dialogue that brings together Saudi youth and foreign graduate students.

LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden paid his respects at Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin on Sunday as thousands of police, hundreds of British troops and an army of officials made final preparations for the queen’s state funeral — a spectacular display of national mourning that will also be the biggest gathering of world leaders for years.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden were among thousands of mourners — from locals and tourists to royals and world leaders — to pay their respects at Westminster Hall, where the queen is lying in state. The president made the sign of the cross and put his hand to his heart as he stood quietly near the casket in the ornate 900-year-old hall with his wife and U.S. Ambassador Jane Hartley.
Biden then signed the official condolence book and attended a reception Sunday at Buckingham Palace hosted by King Charles III. He is one of 500 world leaders and royals invited to the queen’s state funeral Monday at Westminster Abbey, along with hundreds of British charity workers.
Biden called Queen Elizabeth II “decent” and “honorable” and “all about service” as he signed the condolence book, saying his heart went out to the royal family.
“Queen Elizabeth lived her life for the people,” Jill Biden wrote in a book for spouses and ambassadors. “She served with wisdom and grace. We will never forget her warmth, kindness and the conversations we shared.”
As the dignitaries poured in, the clock was ticking down for those seeking a place in the longest queue many have ever seen to file past the queen’s coffin. The miles-long queue is expected to be closed to new arrivals later Sunday so that everyone now in the line can view the coffin before Monday morning, when it will be taken to Westminster Abbey for the queen’s funeral.
Family by family, thousands of people kept joining the line around the clock, braving chilly overnight temperatures and waits of up to 17 hours in a queue that stretched for over 5 miles (8 kilometers).
Lauren Wilson, a 36-year-old student, was in the much shorter queue for people with mobility issues. She said she wanted to experience in person the coffin lying in state.
“The world is in such a weird place and then this happened. It feels more momentous,” she said.
She worried that the pageantry surrounding Elizabeth’s death deprives the queen’s relatives of the ability to come to terms with their loss.
“The family are not allowed to grieve. I find it quite heartbreaking,” she said.
The queen’s eight grandchildren, led by heir to the throne Prince William, circled the coffin and stood with their heads bowed during a silent vigil on Saturday evening.
Among the foreign leaders in London was New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who told the BBC she was humbled to represent her nation at the funeral and to witness the national outpouring of grief and respect for the late queen.
“The thing that I will take away from this period is just the beauty of the public’s response, the kindness that you see from members of the public, the patience, the camaraderie. That has been, for me, the most moving tribute of all, has been the public response of the British people,” she said.
People across the U.K. will also pause Sunday evening for a nationwide minute of silence to remember the queen, who died Sept. 8 at 96 after 70 years on the throne. Monday has been declared a public holiday, and the funeral will be broadcast to a huge television audience worldwide and screened to crowds in parks and public spaces across the country.
Police officers from around the country will be on duty as part of the biggest one-day policing operation in London’s history.
Crowds also gathered Sunday near Windsor Castle, where the queen will be laid to rest at a private family ceremony on Monday evening.
Steve Beeson came with his family of three and a bouquet of flowers he had purchased for the queen.
“She has been a constant steadying of the reins for the country through all of these really rough times, the least we can do is come and say ‘Thank you,’” he said.
Camilla, the queen consort, paid tribute to her mother-in-law in a video message, saying the monarch “carved her own role” as a “solitary woman” on a world stage dominated by men.
“I will always remember her smile. That smile is unforgettable,” said Camilla, who is married to Charles.
Ukraine’s first lady, Olena Zelenska, was also among mourners paying respects to the queen’s coffin. British royal officials said Zelenska met with Catherine, the Princess of Wales, at Buckingham Palace on Sunday afternoon. They did not release further details. The British government has been among the strongest supporters of Ukraine since it was invaded by Russia in February.
On Saturday night, it was the grandchildren’s time to mourn. William and Prince Harry, Charles’ sons, were joined by Princess Anne’s children, Zara Tindall and Peter Philips; Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie; and Prince Edward’s two children — Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.
William stood with his head bowed at the head of the coffin and Harry at the foot. Both princes, who are military veterans, were in uniform. The crowd kept slowly, silently filing past.
“You could see that they were thinking hard about their grandmother, the queen,” said Ian Mockett, a civil engineer from Oxford in southern England. “It was good to see them all together as a set of grandchildren, given the things that have happened over the last few years.”
The lying-in-state continues until early Monday morning, when the queen’s coffin will be moved on a gun carriage pulled by 142 Royal Navy sailors to nearby Westminster Abbey for the funeral, the finale of 10 days of national mourning for Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
After the service Monday at the abbey, the late queen’s coffin will be transported through the historic heart of London on the state gun carriage. It will then be taken in a hearse to Windsor, where the queen will be interred alongside her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last year at 99.
Sumita Tanda put down bright red roses as a huge floral tribute bloomed near Windsor Castle.
“I feel so privileged to be a local resident of Windsor,” she said. “I just wanted to pay my respects.”

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.

LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden, in London for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, said Sunday his heart went out to the royal family, adding the queen’s death left a “giant hole.”
“It’s a loss that leaves a giant hole and sometimes you think you’ll never overcome it,” said Biden, who often talks in very personal terms about loss following the death of his first wife and young daughter and later, his adult son.
The president and first lady Jill Biden have kept a low profile since landing in the United Kingdom. They traveled to Westminster Hall to pay their respects along with hundreds of thousands of mourners who waited more than 14 hours to walk past the queen’s casket.
Biden and the first lady then went to Lancaster House to sign the condolence book before heading to Buckingham Palace for a reception hosted by King Charles III.
The president spoke briefly after he signed the condolence book. “As I’ve told the king, she’s going to be with him every step of the way,” Biden said. “You were fortunate to have had her for 70 years. We all were.”
He said her reign was about “treating people with dignity.”
“I talk about how my mother and father thought that everyone, no matter who they were … no matter where they’re from, deserved to be treated with dignity,” the president said. “And that’s exactly what she communicated. Just the way she walked by her staff, just the way that she acted.”
Biden wrote in the book that “Queen Elizabeth was admired around the world for her unwavering commitment to service.”
The first lady signed a condolence book for spouses and ambassadors, writing “Queen Elizabeth lived her life for the people. She served with wisdom and grace. We will never forget her warmth, kindness and the conversations we shared.”
The president also said Elizabeth modeled a sense of service.
“There’s something within our capacity to do that can make things, not just the world better, but your neighborhood better, your household better, your workplace better,” he said. “That’s what she communicated to me anyway. It was an honor to meet her, an honor to meet her.”
The president will return to the U.S. on Monday and head to New York for the U.N. General Assembly, where he’s to gather with Prime Minister Liz Truss, who had just taken over as the queen died.
More than 2,000 people were expected at Westminster Abbey on Monday for the state funeral.

The Big Change That's Coming To Wegmans
Wegmans is a grocery chain on the east coast of the United States beloved by many shoppers. Business Insider described Wegmans as the nation's best grocery chain in 2019, citing research into customer satisfaction. A 2022 Newsweek survey of shoppers again identified Wegmans as No. 1 in the supermarket category. A 2013 BuzzFeed article took a crack at explaining why Wegmans is so cherished, highlighting the selection of numerous goods plus prices and the level of service. A 2014 Business Insider piece echoed many of those sentiments, also praising the chain's ready-to-eat offerings. PopSugar sang the praises of Wegmans in 2015, characterizing the store's "sincere and helpful" employees as an element that makes visits enjoyable.
For as many high marks as Wegmans has earned over the years for its service, there has been a huge change that shoppers might be less inclined to rave about. An announcement from Wegmans could change the way many consumers make their Wegmans purchases going forward and may even temper shoppers' affections.
SCAN is no longer the plan
The New York Post reports Wegmans disabled the SCAN app as of Sunday, September 18. It is no longer allowing customers to scan and bag their own groceries. The reason behind the discontinuation is loss, as an email from the company to app users explains that there has simply been too much theft for Wegmans to continue offering the service.
WHAM 13 reported in April 2019 that Wegmans planned on offering SCAN to give customers a new way to make their purchases. After scanning and bagging, people would complete their transactions using the self-checkout registers. In its statement announcing the end of SCAN, the company noted that the service allowed people to make contactless transactions when it launched during the pandemic. Users were informed they would be receiving a $20 credit from Wegmans to somewhat soften the blow of SCAN.
It's unclear if that will be enough to satiate fans of the app, though. A Twitter user said, "yo, Wegmans, doing away with the scan app is thoroughly disappointing. It enables the streamlining [of] the shopping experience, especially in NJ where we need to bring our bags. If you are experience [sic] losses, take a look at the Costco model of receipt checks; don't punish legit users." For the time being, Wegmans' checkout lines will revert to their pre-SCAN forms.

It’s early days but Piggy believes the “horse has the “movement, brain, gallop and scope” to move up to five-star.
“He was just mega,” said Piggy, winning on the horse’s four-star debut. “I knew he could do it but it’s still a totally new ball game for us and our partnership. I felt a little bit of greenness, I had to hold his hand and give him time at the water pond [the influential Jockey Club Water Combination, fence 9abc]. We put a curve between the b and c parts, and wasted valuable seconds, but it felt like his eyes were everywhere. When he got to the fence he was totally honest.
“It’s a learning curve for me having a stallion,” said Piggy, who added that no decision has yet been made on when Halo will be used for breeding. “I think it’s important that I keep making him think this is a very good idea we are doing this. And he’s had a great time. I had a great time!”
Any greenness Piggy might have sensed didn’t show, the little grey galloping and jumping so easily to come home ears pricked, just seven seconds outside the time.
That would have been her maximum margin had the two-phase runners-up, Hayden Hankey and Heads Up, finished clear inside the time on their dressage mark of 24.3. However, Hayden paid the price for his horsemanship in letting his eight-year-old settle into a rhythm. Although they did speed up towards the end, they still racked up 11.6 time-faults in a beautifully smooth clear round. This dropped them to 10th.
Blenheim Horse Trials results: three brilliant mares
Hayden’s slide allowed Sarah Bullimore to move up the order on Evita AP. Fifth after dressage, third after showjumping, they took the runner-up spot with a clear bang on the optimum time of 6min 56sec.
Evita AP, by Con Air 7, is also only eight, but Sarah describes her as “a woman with a fantastic brain who picks everything up quickly”.
“She was great in the dressage, showjumped fantastically and was such fun to ride across country,” said Sarah, who had previously clocked a quick round for 1.6 time-faults on Irish Trump, eventual 12th. “I didn’t think she could be as quick up the hill as Irish Trump but she has a huge stride. She is a very exciting prospect for the future.”
Just 0.6 of a penalty behind Sarah was Kiwi rider Caroline Powell with another mare, Greenacres Special Cavalier. This Irish-bred has plenty of experience at four-star as well as two trips to the young horse World Championships, but Caroline says she has given this huge mare time to fulfil her potential.
“She isn’t built like a typical eventer, being so long, but what is a typical eventer? One that does the job!” said Caroline, finishing on her dressage of 28.8.
Dani Evans made an impressive climb up the ranks on yet another mare Monbeg Just Blue to take fourth spot with the fastest time of the day. They were down in 19th after dressage.
“I was actually over the moon with her dressage because she is usually too busy thinking about the jumping phases, but she kept her head,” said Dani, finishing on 30.8. “She’s never been a winner, but she’s so gutsy and works so hard for me, and I’ve always believed in her.
“I’ve never really pushed her because she’s a feisty mare, quick across the fences, a very good jumper and she’s hot in the brain so I’ve kept her steady.”
Exciting young horses confirm their potential
Emily King was fifth on Minnie Kerr-Dineen’s Imposant, with a wonderfully smooth round for just two time-faults.
“I’m so pleased with him wherever we have finished,” she said. “It’s his first four-star and I thought he might make mistakes in all three phases and yet I’d still be pleased with him, but he was brilliant. He’s such a horse for the future – not only was it the biggest ask for him dimensionally and technicality-wise but with the crowds too as he’s such a spooky horse. Hopefully this is the start of a really exciting pony!”
Bill Levett was another to catch the eye with the white-faced Sligo Candy Cane, who moved up from 13th after dressage to finish seventh.
“He was bought with Paris in mind,” said Bill, 59, who has ridden for Australia many times. “He’s a good enough jumper and flashy, the sort you want in a championships. So I hope I can get some good form over the next 18 months and give myself a chance of going to my first Olympics.”
Ireland’s Sarah Ennis and Action Lady M finished sixth, making a monumental climb from 32nd after dressage with two super jumping rounds inside the time.

St Mirren End Celtic's 364-day Unbeaten League Run
Umer Jamshaid Published September 19, 2022 | 12:50 AM
Glasgow, Sept 18 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Sep, 2022 ) :Celtic's near year-long unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership came to an end on Sunday when the Glasgow giants suffered a shock 2-0 defeat by St Mirren.
Goals either side of half-time from Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga condemned the visitors to a first league loss in 39 matches, a sequence spanning 364 days.
Celtic remain top of the table but lead Rangers by just two points after their arch-rivals won 2-1 at home to Dundee United on Saturday.
A bad day on the field for the Scottish champions was compounded by their supporters again disrupting a minute's applause in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.
UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic for an anti-monarchy banner displayed during Wednesday's Champions League match at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Ange Postecoglou's decision to heavily rotate his side following their European exertions backfired.
Celtic had scored 25 goals in winning their first six league games of the campaign, but a side featuring six changes struggled to match those standards.
"The performance today wasn't up to our levels and nowhere near where it needs to be," said Postecoglou.
"We didn't perform in any of the areas we like to perform in and have been performing in.
There isn't anything hugely positive we can take from today, including the team selection which probably wasn't right.
"There are always reminders we still have work to do. Every team is a potential hurdle." St Mirren's first home win over Celtic since 2010 catapulted the Paisley club into fourth, with the Buddies joining Real Madrid as the only team to have beaten the Hoops in any competition so far this season.
"Celtic are a top, top side. When playing them, you need people to be brave and get a hold of the ball," said Saints' boss Stephen Robinson. "That's the most pleasing aspect of the game today for me, we played and passed and hit them on the break.
"At any stage of the game, Celtic can turn it on the head with their quality with a moment of brilliance but our shape and discipline was maintained for 94 minutes."Unlike Celtic, Hearts did not suffer a European hangover after winning in the Europa Conference League in Latvia on Thursday as they beat Motherwell 3-0 to move into third.
Alan Forrest scored twice after Lawrence Shankland opened the scoring at Fir Park to push the Jambos to within three points of Rangers, who they host next at Tynecastle after the international break.

- Vitinha, now at PSG, has played with both
- Big fan of the legends
- Considers them to be the greatest ever
WHAT HAPPENED? There are obvious differences between the two all-time greats, with the Argentine icon all about guile and grace while the Portuguese superstar blends passion and power. Both have sent records tumbling across remarkable careers that have delivered 12 Ballons d’Or between them, but a player who works with Messi at Paris Saint-Germain and is a team-mate of Ronaldo at international level believes there are similarities between the pair.
WHAT THEY SAID: Vitinha told O Jogo when discussing two legends of the game: “There are far more things that unite them than things that separate them. They each have their own way of playing and their own characteristics, but the things that unite them are immense. The will to always want more, without taking into account what they have already earned, is part of it."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi is now 35 years of age, while Ronaldo is 37, but both remain as determined as ever to add to their respective medal collections with club and country and are still delivering on prominent stages such as Ligue 1, the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
WHAT NEXT FOR MESSI & RONALDO? Both men will be out of contract next summer, meaning that they could be on the move again, but there is plenty for them to achieve before then – not least another quest for World Cup glory in Qatar later this year.

WEST CHESTER, Ohio (AP) — A fire in an Ohio apartment sent four children to the hospital in critical condition over the weekend, authorities said.
West Chester officials said the blaze was reported shortly before 12:30 p.m. Saturday in the Aster Park unit.
Fire crews reported finding four children inside and provided emergency care to a five-month-old child, a 1-year-old child, a 5-year-old child and an 8-year-old child.
The victims were taken to Children’s Liberty and West Chester hospitals and were later transferred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where all four were reported in critical condition Sunday. Their names and other details weren’t immediately available.
West Chester police and fire authorities and a state fire marshal are investigating the cause and circumstances of the blaze.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle will miss a second straight game because of a groin injury.
Kittle is inactive for San Francisco's game Sunday against Seattle after being listed as questionable on the injury report. Kittle also missed the season opener at Chicago after getting hurt in practice earlier that week.
Kittle’s injury leaves the Niners without two of their best offensive skill position players with running back Elijah Mitchell on injured reserve with a knee injury.
Kittle has been hampered by injuries in recent years. He missed three games with a calf injury last season, eight games in 2020 with injuries to his knee and foot, and three games in 2019 with a groin injury.
Kittle had 71 catches for 910 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games last season. His 335 catches since entering the league in 2017 rank third among all tight ends in that span and he is second with 4,489 yards receiving.
With Kittle out, the Niners will look to Charlie Woerner, Ross Dwelley or Tyler Kroft at tight end.

In the weeks since Roe fell, we don’t know of any deaths yet in our country along the lines suffered by the women in Ireland and Poland. Yet. But that doesn’t mean the curtailing of abortion rights hasn’t led to suffering and serious harm in America. We can see this in particular in Texas, where SB 8 all but eliminated abortions last fall.
The authors of an article in the New England Journal of Medicine spoke with 25 reproductive health care providers in Texas about SB 8’s impact on how they practice, along with 20 patients with “medically complex pregnancies” who got care either in the state or outside its borders after the law’s passage. Overall, the authors found that the law “has had a chilling effect on a broad range of health care professionals, adversely affecting patient care and endangering people’s lives.”
More specifically, in cases where the patient’s life could be at risk if care is delayed because doctors are afraid of violating the law, the authors found:
Patients with pregnancy complications or preexisting medical conditions that may be exacerbated by pregnancy are being forced to delay an abortion until their conditions become life-threatening and qualify as medical emergencies, or until fetal cardiac activity is no longer detectable. An MFM specialist reported that their hospital no longer offers treatment for ectopic pregnancies implanted in cesarean scars, despite strong recommendations from the Society for Maternal–Fetal Medicine that these life-threatening pregnancies be definitively managed with surgical or medical treatment.
Some clinicians believe that patients with rupture of membranes before fetal viability are eligible for a medical exemption under SB8, while others believe these patients cannot receive an abortion so long as there is fetal cardiac activity. In multiple cases, the treating clinicians—believing, on the basis of their own or their hospital’s interpretation of the law, that they could not provide early intervention—sent patients home, only to see them return with signs of sepsis. An obstetrician–gynecologist recalled only one patient who was able to obtain an abortion at their hospital under SB8’s maternal health exemption, because her severe cardiac condition had progressed to the point that she was admitted to the intensive care unit.
One physician who specializes in high-risk pregnancies told the authors that “people have to be on death’s door to qualify for maternal exemptions to SB 8.” Welcome to Texas.
Additionally, a new study just published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology tracked pregnant patients in two Dallas-area hospitals who, after SB 8 went into effect, had severe complications prior to the point when a fetus was viable. The law’s effect looks to be profound and severe:
Out of 28 women who met the criteria for the study, more than half experienced “significant” medical problems, including infections and hemorrhaging, in the face of state-mandated limits on treatment, the study found. One woman required a hysterectomy. And the rate of maternal health problems was far higher than the rate in other states where patients were offered the option to end their pregnancies.
As Dr. Monica Saxena, an ER doc at Stanford, bluntly put it: “In this post-Roe world, women with miscarriages may die.”
One patient in Texas, Marlena Stell, went public to her 1.5 million YouTube followers with her story about being denied care after her fetus died in the womb when she was 9.5 weeks pregnant. She wanted the fetus removed—standard procedure for what’s commonly known as an “incomplete miscarriage”—but was told that because the procedure to do so (a dilation and curettage, or D&C) was the same one used in an abortion, the doctor could not perform it. If none of this makes a lick of sense to you, you’re not alone. Stell was told to “try to miscarry at home.” This increases the risk of infection—including lethal sepsis—thus putting the pregnant patient in danger.
“People need to understand how these laws affect all women, even cases like mine,” Stell said. “I feel like it’s very dangerous for government of any type to be intervening in a woman’s care because there’s multiple reasons of why she may need a procedure.”
Stell added: “I felt like a walking coffin. I get so angry that I was treated this way because of laws that were passed by men who have never been pregnant and never will be. I’m frustrated, I’m angry, and I feel like the women here deserve better than that. It doesn’t matter what side of the fence that you want to sit on, laws like this affect all women regardless of what situation you’re in, and it’s not right.”
Going forward, she explained that “our fear is that if I get pregnant and miscarry again that something will happen. We just do not feel confident at all that we’ll get the care that we need in Texas if something were to happen.”
Stell isn’t alone, as doctors are reporting a noticeable uptick in the number of both men and women who—motivated by a desire to have certain control over their reproductive futures—are seeking to be sterilized in the weeks since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling.
Putting it all together, Dr. Rakhi Dimino, in an interview with PBS, stated that in the past few months, she has seen more patients with hemorrhaging/heavy bleeding or sepsis “than I’ve ever seen before.” She added that, right now, women in Texas are losing faith and trust in the health care system completely, which increases the danger they face: “We could be losing valuable time, [and the patient could] lose her reproductive organs and her life.”
In response to these and other numerous reports, the Texas Medical Association (TMA) has filed a request with state regulators to “swiftly act to prevent any wrongful intrusion into the practice of medicine.” One of the cases the TMA cited was a patient with an ectopic pregnancy—when the fetus implants outside of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube—whose doctor was told not to take the medically necessary step of removing the fetus until there was a rupture. The TMA document stated: “Delayed or prevented care in this scenario creates a substantial risk for the patient’s future reproductive ability and poses serious risk to the patient’s immediate physical wellbeing.” In other words: If not treated swiftly, an ectopic pregnancy quickly leads to serious risks, including maternal death.
When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, the fetus cannot develop fully, at the proper rate, or survive to a point at which it can live outside of the womb. It cannot be delivered or reimplanted int he proper location. The result will never be a viable pregnancy. This is true 100% of the time, without exception. No human being has ever been born from an ectopic pregnancy in the history of all humankind. If you thought observable facts would protect pregnant patients with life-threatening complications who live in places with an abortion ban that supposedly has an exception for the “life of the mother,” well, bless your heart.
There have been multiple other reported cases where patients with an ectopic pregnancy could not get appropriate care immediately, thus putting lives in danger. Dr. Pamela Parker, an OB-GYN, stated flat out that not providing immediate, evidence-based treatment was tantamount to medical malpractice.
Like miscarriages, etopic pregnancies are not uncommon. Our family has experienced this pain, too, which has only served to cement my own pro-choice views. In July 1973, just six months after Roe v. Wade was decided, a member of my family was only a few weeks pregnant and hadn’t even done a pregnancy test. As she tells it, she felt severe abdominal pain, which traveled to her shoulder. This led her doctor to suspect an ectopic pregnancy, so he asked her to come to the hospital. Her fallopian tube had burst, putting her life in serious danger.
Once she arrived at the hospital and was examined, she was immediately brought into surgery. The doctor wouldn’t even let the staff do the paperwork to formally admit her; as my relative recalls, he said, “We have to operate on her now, otherwise she’ll be in the morgue.” Thankfully, this doctor didn’t have to hesitate and figure out if the fetus was still alive, or weigh whether he was risking his license or his freedom by acting to save her life. The right to reproductive care was already protected by law when this took place, making this a family story with a happy ending rather than a tale of tragedy. Today, my relative tells me, “I wasn’t thinking about Roe v. Wade at the time. I was just thankful to be alive.”
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the Biden-Harris administration has taken steps that will, one would hope, provide enough clarity so that patients in these kinds of emergency situations get the care they need without having to be “on death’s door.” One part of the guidance makes clear that federal law will protect physicians who perform an abortion in any situation where it is medically necessary. Furthermore, the guidance informs hospitals that violations will bring significant penalties. "We are making enforcement a priority," a senior official at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stated.
Patients are guaranteed access to emergency care thanks to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), which “protects providers' clinical judgment and the actions they take to provide stabilizing treatment to pregnant patients who are under emergency medical conditions, regardless of restrictions in any given state.” Here’s HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra:
Under the law, no matter where you live, women have the right to emergency care — including abortion care. Today, in no uncertain terms, we are reinforcing that we expect providers to continue offering these services, and that federal law preempts state abortion bans when needed for emergency care. Protecting both patients and providers is a top priority, particularly in this moment. Health care must be between a patient and their doctor, not a politician. We will continue to leverage all available resources at HHS to make sure women can access the life-saving care they need.
In what qualifies as the least surprising bit of news in this entire conversation, Texas sued Biden over this guidance. State Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that … you know what, who cares what lies that motherforker told? White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded by calling it “unthinkable” that an elected official would “sue to block women from receiving life-saving care in emergency rooms, a right protected under U.S. law.” There are some other adjectives that apply as well. As of now, the guidance has been blocked by a Texas judge who, absurdly, agreed with Paxton because reasons.
What the White House did here (along with other actions they’ve taken and undoubtedly will continue to take) is vitally important. Just to focus on ectopic pregnancies, they occur 2% of the time and, if left untreated, most could end up being life-threatening. Furthermore, as we’ve seen, there are multiple other complications that require abortions or treatment that might be considered (or imagined) to resemble abortion in some way. Thus, serious harm or death resulting from not getting appropriate care during pregnancy is a realistic possibility for anyone in an anti-choice state, despite the lies being spewed by foes of reproductive rights like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to truly protect abortion rights without legislation or constitutional amendments at either the state or federal level. In Georgia, Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams is putting abortion rights front and center (interestingly, her position on this issue has evolved over time, as she was not always pro-choice) in her campaign to defeat incumbent Brian Kemp.
“Georgia is part of a nation that faces economic vicissitudes — things go up, things go down,” she said. “But this law is permanent.” She added that she would ask the state’s scores of moderate Republican and independent voters, who may be disillusioned with Democratic leadership in Washington, to “balance whether your immediate concerns about money outweigh your concerns about your constitutional protected rights.”
The Abrams campaign released survey data indicating that a majority of Georgia voters do not want any new restrictions on the previously existing law, which had protected the right to an abortion up to 20 weeks after fertilization (which means 22 weeks after the last menstrual period). Over 60% of independents opposed making it harder to get an abortion. And this is Georgia we’re talking about, not exactly a solid blue state. Abortion rights have wide support among Americans.
What can each of us do? We can fight like hell so that Stacey Abrams—and as many pro-choice Democrats as possible—can win. Abortion rights are directly on the ballot in a number of states this fall. The first vote in Kansas on Aug. 2 defied expectations, as voters came out in force to protect the right to an abortion mandated by that state’s constitution, thus turning back the attempt to remove it from the document. As Daily Kos’s Laura Clawson, in wonderfully understated fashion, put it the next morning: “A lot of pundits have some rethinking to do.”
Additionally, abortion rights were a primary issue in a swing congressional district that saw the staunchly pro-choice Democrat win in an open-seat race. It appears that the Dobbs decision has made a real impact on Democrats’ chances this fall. Even so, the forced-birther side is only getting more extreme in terms of what they are pushing for next.
Victories like Kansas that maintain or enshrine abortion rights into state laws will help countless women and others who become pregnant. And maybe, just maybe, enough victories will convince wavering politicians in other states that they’ll have to choose between trying to control women’s and pregnant people’s bodies and saving their own political careers.

CAMILLA last night recalled Her Majesty’s “wonderful blue eyes” and smile in a touching TV tribute.
The BBC programme, which aired on the eve of the Queen’s funeral, was recorded over the past three months.
In a series of interviews, Camilla declared: “She has been part of our lives forever. I’m 75 now and I can’t remember anybody except the Queen being there.”
The new Queen Consort also spoke of the monarch’s personality and the strains that she faced as a woman in a male-dominated world.
Camilla — who at the time was Duchess of Cornwall — said: “She’s got those wonderful blue eyes that when she smiles, you know, they light up her whole face.
"I’ll always remember that smile, you know, that smile is unforgettable.”
She also said: “It must have been so difficult for her being a solitary woman, and there weren’t women prime ministers or women presidents, she was the only one. So I think she carved her own role.
“She made a rule that she had her private time and her private passions and then her public role and I think that is very important that the diary is planned out so you know when you’re on duty and when you’ve got to do things.
“Then when she went up to Scotland, that was the moment where it was her enjoyment.”
Camilla was at Balmoral when the Queen died as she was due on a royal visit to a cancer hospital.

In her interviews she added: “Although she was probably working, you know with her red boxes throughout, she could have her family to stay, she could do the things she loved.”
The Queen Consort also revealed she shared her mother-in-law’s love of horse racing.
Camilla said: “She was able to escape to Sandringham. She had the stud next door.
“She could go every day, see her foals, work out you know, the next meetings for the year.
“I think she always kept that as, you know, her private bit.
“You wouldn’t dare question her or argue with her on how horses are bred or how it ran because you’d get a very steely blue-eyed look back again.”
The Queen did not attend Camilla and Charles’s wedding in 2005 but gave a speech at their reception.
Camilla told the BBC: “I remember coming from Clarence House, to go to Windsor the day I got married when I probably wasn’t firing on all cylinders, quite nervous and, for some unknown reason I put on a pair of shoes and one had an inch heel and one had a two-inch heel.
“So, I mean talk about hop-a-long and there’s nothing I could do.
“I was halfway down in the car before I realised and you know, she could see and laughed about it and said, ‘look I’m terribly sorry’. She had a good sense of humour.
Camilla also told how she and the Queen had often undertaken joint engagements in recent years.
She added: “I’ve taken her to some of my charities and to the Ebony Horse Club and to the Medical Detection Dogs and she loved both of them you know.
“It was genuine enjoyment and she asked lots of questions and it was very nice to take her to things which I knew she would enjoy.”
The Queen anointed Camilla as Queen Consort in February as she marked 70 years on the throne.
It was a U-turn on a ruling that she was to be Princess Consort when Charles became King.
Sources say the Queen wanted to recognise Camilla’s hard work and happiness she has given her son.
The interview was screened on BBC One last night following a worldwide period of silence and reflection at 8pm.

Auburn falls to No. 22 Penn State 41-12
AUBURN, Ala. (WSFA) - The Auburn Tigers lost their first game of the season at home against the No. 22 Penn State Nittany Lions .
Auburn put the first points on the board with a field goal from kicker Anders Carlson after a 33-yard drive over 9 plays - with 8:20 remaining in the first quarter.
Penn State responded as quarterback Sean Clifford rushed for a seven-yard touchdown with 4:21 remaining in the first quarter, giving them a 7-3 lead.
The Tigers attempted to answer back and settled for a 22-yard field goal with 6:59 left in the second quarter.
The Nittany Lions scored again as RB Krayton Allen rushed for a three-yard touchdown with just 1:46 remaining in the first half of the game.
Penn State led Auburn 14-6 as the game headed into halftime.
The Nittany Lions returned and dominated the second half of the game.
Two touchdowns and a field goal gave Penn State a commanding lead over Auburn in the third quarter, 31-6.
The Tigers added their first points of the second half with a 22-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Penn State further expanded their lead over Auburn in the fourth and final quarter with another TD and a later field goal.
The Nittany Lions went on to beat the Tigers 41-12.
“I thought our crowd was fantastic,” said Auburn head coach Brian Harsin. “The energy, what they brought tonight and the environment. It was exactly what we thought it would be. We’re disappointed in the performance and we’re disappointed in the loss, obviously. You can look at the stats, it’s a pretty matter of fact. Football really comes down to the execution piece and we lost the turnover battle. That’s No. 1. Tackling, that is another area we can improve on.”
Auburn is now 2-1 for the season. They will take on Missouri in their homecoming game next Saturday at 11 a.m. CT.

Healthy Choice Power Bowl included in recall over misbranded meat
More than 22,000 lbs. of frozen beef products have been recalled due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.
The beef product came from Texas-based Valley International Cold Storage Acquisition, LLC but contains a chicken sausage and pepper product, which contains milk. Milk is a known allergen and is not declared on the product label.
Specifically, the product is found in the 9.25 oz cartons labeled Healthy Choice Power Bowls Korean-Style Beef with lot code 5246220320 and a "best if used by" date of 04-18-2023.
The products included in the recall have establishment number 34622 on the end flap of the carton. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when Healthy Choice began receiving complaints that the Korean-Style Beef cartons contained a chicken-based product.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
This story was reported from Detroit.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) —
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised his country there would be no letup in the counteroffensive that has reclaimed towns and cities from Russian troops, as shelling continued Sunday across a wide stretch of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy ran through a list of towns that Ukraine has taken back in its lightning push across the northeast.
“Maybe now it seems to some of you that after a series of victories we have a certain lull,” he said in his nightly video address. “But this is not a lull. This is preparation for the next series… Because Ukraine must be free — all of it.”
Ukraine’s military command said its forces secured the eastern bank of the Oskil River on Saturday. The river, which flows south from Russia into Ukraine, had been a natural break in the newly emerged front lines since Kyiv’s counteroffensive began.
As Russian shells hit towns and cities over the weekend, the British defense ministry warned that Moscow is likely to increase attacks on civilian targets as it suffers battlefield defeats.
“In the last seven days, Russia has increased its targeting of civilian infrastructure even where it probably perceives no immediate military effect,” the ministry said in an online briefing. “As it faces setbacks on the front lines, Russia has likely extended the locations it is prepared to strike in an attempt to directly undermine the morale of the Ukrainian people and government.”
Russian fire killed four medics attempting to evacuate a psychiatric hospital in the Kharkiv region on Saturday, said governor Oleh Syniehubov. Two patients were wounded in the attack in Strelecha, he said.
Overnight shelling also hit a hospital in Mykolaiv, a significant Black Sea port, regional governor Vitaliy Kim said. And five people had died over the past day in Russian attacks in the Donetsk region, one of two Ukrainian regions that Russia recognizes as sovereign states, governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
The separatist forces that control much of Donetsk said Ukrainian shelling of a prisoner-of-war colony in Olenivka killed one prisoner and injured four. More than 50 POWs were reported killed in a July attack on the Olenivka prison; Russian and Ukrainian authorities blame each other.
A Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said Russian forces in Donetsk continue to conduct “meaningless operations” on villages as opposed to reinforcing the front line.
A top Vatican envoy and his entourage came under fire as they were distributing humanitarian supplies in Ukraine, the Vatican news service said on Sunday. It reported no injuries.
The incident took place near the city of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, and forced Vatican Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski and others to take cover.
“For the first time in my life, I didn’t know where to run. Because it is not enough to run, you have to know where to go,” said the Polish-born cardinal, whose office makes charitable contributions in the pope’s name.
Three people were wounded in nighttime shelling of Nikopol, across the river from Europe’s largest nuclear power station, said regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko. The six-reactor Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was captured by Russian forces in March, but is operated by Ukrainian engineers. Its last reactor was switched off a week ago after repeated power failures because shelling put crucial safety systems at risk.
Meanwhile, prosecutors in Kharkiv are accusing Russia of torturing civilians in one village that was recently freed. In an online statement, they said they found a basement where Russian forces allegedly tortured prisoners in Kozacha Lopan, near the border with Russia.
In images they released, they showed a Russian military TA-57 telephone with additional wires and alligator clips attached to it. Ukrainian officials have accused Russian forces of using the Soviet-era radio telephones as a power source to shock prisoners during interrogation. It was not immediately possible to verify the Ukrainians’ claims.

James Clampitt says the COVID-19 pandemic has emboldened people to drive at higher speeds, a contributor to traffic accidents across the state.
Clampitt, a 24-year deputy with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, works on the traffic enforcement unit in Rochester Hills. He said the pandemic has created an environment where drivers are more comfortable and accustomed with traveling at higher speeds with law enforcement interactions kept to a minimum during the height of the pandemic.
Statewide traffic crashes increased 15% from 245,432 in 2020 to 282,640 in 2021, according to Michigan State Police data. Last year, fatal traffic accidents totaled 1,131, the highest number in 16 years and a 4% increase from 2020.
In Oakland County, the number of traffic crashes increased 21.7% or over 5,700 from 26,316 to 32,038. In mid-Michigan, including Clare, Gratiot, and Isabella counties, traffic crashes increased from 4,601 in 2020 to 4,978 in 2021, a 8% increase.
Rochester Hills saw a 25% increase in traffic crashes from 1,404 in 2020 to 1,757 in 2021. The largest number of Oakland County traffic crashes occur in Southfield, where numbers increased from 2,248 in 2020 to 2,886 in 2021, a 28% increase.
On Wednesday morning, during the height of rush hour, Clampitt responded to six traffic accidents in Rochester Hills. One involved road rage and the other a deer.
“We are finding more and more people driving at higher rates of speed at 10 to 15 miles per hour over the speed limit,” he said. “People also aren’t paying as close attention with all the distractions in cars nowadays. It’s a combination of several factors that causes people to be impatient and results in more crashes.”
When it comes to reducing the number of traffic crashes, Clampitt said traffic enforcement only goes so far and that drivers need to make better decisions on the roadways to protect themselves and other drivers.
“People just need to slow down and put their devices down,” he said. “Drivers need to try to minimize their distractions. It doesn’t take much for a crash to occur. Sometimes, we can’t tell the difference between someone texting on their phone or a drunk driver.”
Enforcement
Carol Flannagan, director of The University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute and Center for the Management of Information for Safe and Sustainable Transportation, believes that as traffic enforcement levels begin to return to pre-pandemic levels it should help reduce dangerous driving behaviors, especially speeding.
She added that statewide increases in traffic crashes, and fatalities, is concerning.
“Every traffic safety professional hates seeing these things happen,” she said. “But we are also all playing the long game. I expect that as we continue to return to whatever the new post-pandemic normal is, things will eventually get better.”
Flannagan said law enforcement agencies only have so many tools at their disposal to help prevent and reduce traffic crashes, but added that education and enforcement must continue, even as driving behaviors improve, to help decrease bad driving behaviors.
“There is currently a big push to make sure that traffic safety measures are being distributed equitably,” she said. “This means that disadvantaged areas, where fatalities per population are highest, should be getting special attention for all these issues going forward.”
Mike Morris, Gratiot County’s sheriff, said reducing the number of traffic crashes can be achieved in part by having law enforcement agencies get back to “basic police work” in regards to stopping drivers for minor violations.
Morris has seen an increase in the number of distracted drivers, but added that overall traffic crash numbers are steady from pre-pandemic levels.
“When the public sees lights on a police car with someone pulled over they tend to drive more carefully,” he said. “With less police and leaders telling agencies to “tone it down” there are less stops and people take that as less enforcement and tend to speed more.”
In Gratiot County, including communities not patrolled by the sheriff’s office, the number of traffic crashes increased from 1,457 in 2020 to 1,606 in 2021, a 10.2% increase.
Trends
Lt. Lance Cook, commander of the Michigan State Police Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit and Michigan Association of Traffic Accident Investigators board member, said observed increases in the traffic crash rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled occur more so during years of national turmoil or stress.
He said this rate provides a more accurate traffic safety picture than raw crash numbers.
“Crash numbers are most closely tied to the economy, with crashes increasing when more people drive more miles, and crashes decreasing when the economy is bad and people drive fewer miles,’ he said.
Over the past 15-20 years, the crash fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled has largely leveled out, but spiked at 1.34 in 2020 during the height of the pandemic.
According to Cook, empty roads and a general thought that law enforcement was not stopping any cars may have contributed to the increases in traffic crash fatalities and more reckless driving behaviors.
“I don’t believe that we are seeing any long-term negative trends, but simply a temporary reaction to the entire COVID situation,” he said. “There aren’t really any new or innovative ways to reduce crashes. As we make the move toward full automation, we will continue to see improvements over time. We need to avoid falling into the trap of thinking that there is some magic answer that will suddenly stop traffic crashes.’
Policy
Law enforcement officials say proposing new traffic safety laws and local ordinances is not the solution to reducing traffic crashes as it could breed contempt for traffic laws in general, but proper roadway engineering could be.
Aaron Huguley, Southfield’s deputy police chief, said public policy recommendations to improve traffic safety include road design, lane studies, installation of roundabouts near intersections with high traffic volumes, and installation of more traffic control signage.
“There are several factors that may be contributing to the increase in crashes in Southfield as the city is one of most traveled cities in the county, has two high volume and dangerous intersections, and has experienced an increase in distracted drivers just as other cities across the county,’ he said.
Cook said the goal of traffic safety is crash reduction through voluntary compliance with reasonable laws supported by proper engineering.
“If laws don’t seem reasonable to a large number of drivers, they will breed contempt for traffic laws in general. The national 55-mph speed limit in 1974 is a perfect example,” he said. “It had no real effect on crash numbers, but was the most unpopular law since prohibition.”

DETROIT (AP) — Andrew Vaughn hit his first career grand slam, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 11-5 on Sunday.
Eloy Jiménez and AJ Pollock also connected as Chicago won for the third time in four games. Jiménez finished with three hits and three RBIs, and Gavin Sheets had two hits and two RBIs.
The White Sox are trying to catch AL Central-leading Cleveland, but they are running out of time. They trailed the Guardians by 4 1/2 games heading into play on Sunday.
Chicago hosts Cleveland on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series.
The White Sox improved to 12-4 against the last-place Tigers in the season series. The teams play again in Chicago next weekend.
The reigning AL Central champions grabbed control with five runs in the fifth. Sheets snapped a tie with a bases-loaded walk against Drew Hutchison (2-9), and Vaughn made it 7-2 when he drove a 1-2 slider from James Foley deep to left-center for his team-high 17th homer.
The White Sox (76-71) have recorded 31 homers in their last 19 games. They are 27-5 when they hit at least two homers.
The Tigers rallied in the sixth. Jimmy Lambert replaced José Ruiz with the bases loaded and no outs, and then brought home a run when he issued a four-pitch pitch to Kerry Carpenter.
But Lambert retired the next three batters. Eric Haase popped out, Jeimer Candelario hit a sacrifice fly and pinch-hitter Harold Castro struck out swinging.
Chicago then got three runs in the seventh. With José Abreu aboard after a leadoff walk, Jiménez greeted Garrett Hill with a 450-foot drive to straightaway center.
Jiménez added an RBI double in the eighth. He is 17 for 43 with five homers and 16 RBIs over the last 11 games.
Willi Castro hit a two-run homer for Detroit in the first, and Javier Báez added a solo shot in the eighth. Báez was back in the lineup at designated hitter after dealing with swelling in his knee after an awkward play at the plate Friday.
Hutchison was charged with six runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings in front of a crowd of 14,435. He has just one win in his last 13 starts.
Chicago right-hander Vince Velasquez allowed two runs and three hits in four innings in his first start since June 9. Velasquez was pressed into action because Johnny Cueto is dealing with an illness.
Tanner Banks (2-0) pitched three innings for the win.
ROSTER MOVE
The White Sox placed reliever Joe Kelly on the family medical leave list. Banks was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte.
TRAINER’S ROOM
White Sox: CF Luis Robert (hand) was held out of the lineup as a precaution. Acting manager Miguel Cairo said the team hopes Robert could return Tuesday. ... RHP Michael Kopech (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday, said he was shut down as a precaution and hopes to return before the end of the season.
UP NEXT
White Sox: There was no word on a starting pitcher for either team for Tuesday. Chicago’s pitching plan remains in flux after Cueto got sick.
Tigers: LHP Tyler Alexander (3-10, 5.35 ERA) will start the series opener in Baltimore on Monday against the Orioles, who have not yet announced their starter.

Alcantara's 5th complete game lifts Marlins over Nats 3-1
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sandy Alcantara pitched his major league-leading fifth complete game, a seven-hitter that led the Miami Marlins over the Washington Nationals 3-1 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep. Alcantara (13-8) struck out seven and walked one, throwing 104 pitches. His 2.37 ERA is second in the National League to the 2.27 of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Julio Urías, and Alcantara leads the major leagues with 212 2/3 innings. He is 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA in four starts against Washington this season. Alcantara, who got his first in in four September starts, has pitched 17% of the 29 complete games in the major leagues this season. Houston’s Framber Valdez (three) and Philadelphia’s Aaron Nola (two) are the only other pitchers to throw more the one, Garrett Cooper hit a sixth-inning, opposite-field homer to left-center for Miami, which had lost seven of nine.

Culture is a living thing. It evolves and changes as we evolve and change.
But sometimes we want to hold onto culture of the past because it’s rich with meaning and memory for us.
Today we’re taking a deep dive into culture. We speak with an educator and a folk musician/archivist to find out why they’re preserving pieces of culture they love.

WHAT HAPPENED? The Ghana international had given the Sons of Gods a 12th-minute lead after guiding Kenneth Taylor’s pass beyond goalkeeper Hobie Verhulst at the AFAS Stadium. Despite the league champions looking to be in firm control, the hosts restored parity though Mees De Wit in the 40th minute before Alkmaar took the lead on the stroke of half-time courtesy of Jens Odgaard. Ajax came out stronger in the second half but could do little to avoid losing their first match of the 2022-23 campaign.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Kudus was included in Ghana’s squad for next week’s international friendly against Brazil. That shows he remains relevant in the scheme of things in the Black Stars' star-studded team. His rich scoring form is a big boost for Otto Addo’s men who are hoping to defeat the South Americans as they continue preparations for the 2022 Fifa World Cup Qatar.
STORY IN TWO PHOTOS
DID YOU KNOW? Kudus has now scored six goals in his last five matches for Ajax in all competitions.
WHAT NEXT FOR KUDUS: Like plenty of his team-mates, the 22-year-old will have his eyes firmly set on the World Cup. He has been called up for the Ghana squad to face Brazil and Nicaragua over the next couple of weeks in the final games before the tournament in Qatar.

UP Assembly’s monsoon session kicks off on Monday.
Addressing BJP MLAs and legislative leaders of its allies including Apna Dal (Sonelal) and NISHAD Party, the chief minister said, “The Opposition is at a loss for issues and hence, will try to disturb the House proceedings. We must not give the unemployed Opposition issues and should be careful of what we speak.”

KOZACHA LOPAN, Ukraine (AP) — In a dank basement behind the local supermarket, metal bars cordon off a corner of the room to form a large cell. A dirty sleeping bag and duvets show three sleeping spots on top of sheets of Styrofoam for insulation from the damp earth floor. In the corner, two black buckets served as toilets.
A few meters (yards) outside the barred cell, three dilapidated chairs stand around a table, cigarette butts and pumpkin seed husks littering the floor around them.
Ukrainian authorities say this was a makeshift prison where Russian forces abused detainees before Ukrainian troops swept through the border village of Kozacha Lopan in a major counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region this month. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said more than 10 such “torture chambers” have been discovered in the region since the hasty withdrawal of Russian troops last week. The claims of what occurred in the room could not be independently confirmed.
Kozacha Lopan, whose edge lies less than two kilometers (just over a mile) from the Russian border, was retaken by Ukrainian forces Sept. 11.
In a statement posted Saturday on its Telegram channel, the prosecutor’s office of the Kharkiv region, in whose jurisdiction Kozacha Lopan lies, said the room seen by AP journalists was used as a torture cell during the occupation of the area. It said Russian forces had set up a local police force that ran the prison, adding that documents confirming the functioning of the police department and implements of torture had been seized. The statement said an investigation was being conducted.
Images the prosecutors released showed a Russian military TA-57 telephone with additional wires and alligator clips attached to it. Ukrainian officials have accused Russian forces of using the Soviet-era radio telephones as a power source to shock prisoners during interrogation.
In his nightly address to the nation Saturday, Zelenskyy mentioned another location, at the railway station in Kozacha Lopan, where he said “a room for torture and tools for electric torture was found.”
Viacheslav Zadorenko, head of the Derhachi municipality to which Kozacha Lopan belongs, pointed AP journalists on Sunday to a semi-basement of the train station, where he said interrogations had been carried out.
Members of Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, or DSNS, checked on Sunday for unexploded devices and booby traps but found none.
A sandbag barrier stood outside the stairs leading down into two small rooms. The first room was furnished with three tables and numerous stairs, a faded icon of the Virgin Mary on one table, two books on another, including a novel by Russian literary critic and philosopher Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky.
Jumbles of wires and cables littered the floor, a small fridge stood in the corner. In a narrow adjoining room, a row of wooden cabinets stood open and mostly empty, and a mattress lay on the top bunk of a bunk-bed, a pair of discarded flip-flops and shoes on the floor.
It was impossible to independently confirm what occurred in the rooms.
Zadorenko, who is from Kozacha Lopan himself and whose mother stayed in the village during the fighting, said Russian forces tortured locals, and also limited the communications of those living there and took away their documents, including his own mother.
“She was unable to evacuate and leave, they knew she was my mother so they kept her. Some of the physical tortures were applied to her and she was under psychological pressure,” he said.
“People went through hard times, a lot of locals whose fate is unknown until today, lots of locals have died, lots of people were forcibly evacuated to the Russian federation,” he added.
Burial sites have been found in some areas where Russian forces were pushed out, most notably in the city of Izium, where Ukrainian officials say more than 440 graves have been found near the city’s cemetery. Zelenskyy has said they contain the bodies of civilian adults and children, as well as soldiers, showing signs of violent deaths, some possibly from torture.
Vitalii, a commander in the National Guard, said his team is hunting for graves of possible victims of abuse at the detention center in Kozacha Lopan. He asked to be identified by his first name only for security reasons.
The team is also recovering bodies on the battlefield, which are lying where they fell on farm fields or inside burned-out tanks. The Russian army was pushed back across the border into Russia after holding the area for months. But artillery shells still whistle through the air, fired from inside Russia and landing with resonating thumps and billows of black smoke on Ukrainian territory.
Despite the shelling, a small group of soldiers winds its way along a rutted mud track to where a dead Ukrainian combatant lies, spotted by a drone used to search for bodies and shallow graves.
“It’s a risk. We are always risking our lives and at any moment there might be some shell flying in from the territory of Russia,” Vitalii said.
The dead Ukrainian is lying on his back in body armor and helmet, a cap beneath it to block out the sun. The body has been there for a long time.
They document the scene and lift the remains into a body bag before heading farther along the track to a charred Russian tank. It takes only one of the team to carry away the body bag holding the remains of the Russian found inside.
Autopsies will follow, and the details of the sites recorded and passed on to investigators looking into potential war crimes, Vitalii said.
Throughout this border area, where fierce battles raged, villages bear the devastating scars of war: houses bombed and burned, roads pitted with bomb craters, smashed cars lying by the roadside.
Residents who fled during the height of the fighting have been returning to see what became of their homes.
Nothing is left of Alina Orobchenko’s home in the nearby village of Prudyanka but four broken, fire-blasted walls. The entire house in which she lived for 30 years was turned into a jumble of burnt, twisted rubble. Nothing was salvageable.
“It’s really hard to decide what to do next, it’s impossible to plan for the future,” the 47-year-old schoolteacher said as she picked her way over the smashed roofing tiles and piles of masonry.
“We’ve already cried out all our tears,” Orobchenko said. “But now we know we need to overcome this, and get on with our lives.”
Outside the blackened, smashed front windows, her pink and red roses have bloomed among the weeds and wreckage.

One of the first lenses I bought for my Redmi Note 4 smartphone, a model from 2017, was a macro lens, which allowed me to get close to some subjects with that entry-level model. The second lens I imagined I needed was a telephoto. I was wrong…
Everything I read everywhere praises how telephotos (or teleconverters…), usually doubling the focal length of the base lens, allow for more creative work when using a smartphone. As many entry level smartphones rarely offer a real optical lens beyond the regular wide-angle, you may be tempted to buy an external “telephoto” to expand your creative options. Believe me, you probably will not need it. But keep reading.
There are many telephoto lenses available for smartphones, some offering as much as 35x “zoom” over the base lens, but I do not believe those work as suggested by the marketing. All I needed was a 3x telephoto, which would take my 24mm wide-angle to a comfortable 72mm field of view coverage (compared to the 35mm format, which is always reference here), but looking at what the market offered I found that 2x was the most common converter available. In my mind, having the macro lens (more about this in another article, another day) and the telephoto – even 2x – would expand my creative options when using a smartphone.
If I had acquired the 2x telephoto lens back in 2017, for the Redmi Note 4 smartphone, I might have been happy with it, but as I moved on to better smartphone models, my perception of its usability changed, and the recent move to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (which is being used as a camera), with its 70mm and 230mm optical lenses, changed drastically what I think about external lenses for smartphones. Still, as I keep a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro as my regular smartphone, which has a limited set of lenses – ultra wide-angle, wide-angle and macro – I decided to explore what a 2x telephoto would offer me.
When a 2x telephoto is less than it promises
Out of dozens of options available I decided to choose Apexel, and because the company has a 5-in-1 kit with five different lenses, from fisheye to macro for +/- 50 dollars, I decided to order it, and test the different lenses, although the 2x telephoto was the one that really interested me. I’ve written an entire article about the fisheye, super-wide-angle, wide-angle and macro 10x and, as I noted then, I decided to write another article centered on the 2x telephoto.
For this article I decided to test the Apexel 2x telephoto with both Xiaomi smartphones, the Redmi Note 4, from 2017, and the Redmi Note 10 Pro, from 2021, which continues to be one of the best affordable solutions for photographers. Apexel makes a series of claims about this lens, which I am not going to mention here, because most of it is pure marketing blurb and nothing else. One thing I need to highlight, though, is that the 2x the company claims its telephoto offers is nowhere to be seen. From the comparisons made while testing it I would say it’s about 1.5x, so if you’re hoping to get somewhere close to a “nifty fifty” – as doubling the 24mm focal gives you around 48mm, or a 50mm if we round the numbers … – the Apexel 2x telephoto is not the one to choose.
Maybe lenses from other brands really offer a 2x increase in focal length (I’ve not had a chance to try them), but the Apexel doesn’t. Having tried to contact the company multiple times, about different subjects related to its products, without any success, I don’t feel very confident suggesting the Apexel 2x telephoto as a good buy.
Having determined that the effective focal length of Apexel’s telephoto is around 1.5x and not 2x, I decided to create a set of images with the Redmi Note 4 that shows the base lens coverage and goes from there to show the image captured with the 2x telephoto and… surprise, using the smartphone’s 2x digital zoom.
A 2x crop will probably be the best choice
The image captured using the smartphone’s ability to crop the image shows what 2x really is… and confirms that Apexel’s claim is not true. Furthermore, a simple visual comparison confirms that the smartphone’s direct image is usable and competes favorably with Apexel’s capture… without the need to bother about using an adapter and fine adjust the lens in position before taking a shot. So, even with the limited sensor in the Redmi Note 4, it’s better to just use digital cropping – up to 2x it works fine – and shoot. No need for any contraption…
Well, what is true for a 2017 smartphone is even more so when you try to use the lens with the Redmi Note 10 Pro, which shows the same type of results: a base image using the 26mm lens, a second image using Apexel’s telephoto and finally the digital crop – 2x – showing what 2x really is. Again, it’s better to forget this 2x telephoto and simply use crop – or digital zoom, if you want to call it that – especially with modern smartphones, which have better sensors.
The Redmi Note 10 Pro is a good example of this modern generation of smartphones. Not only does it allow you to shoot a 12MP file (3000×4000 pixels) with a 2x crop, but it also gives you the option to shoot using all the pixels in the sensor without binning, that’s 108MP, for a 9000×12000 pixels file, using the same 2x crop. And just to make things clear for you, when shooting at 108MP, the “digital zoom” is limited to 2x, the exact same amount that Apexel’s telephoto promises but never reaches.
When it comes to video, the Redmi Note 10 Pro also works using the 2x crop, which can be chosen directly oin the screen, making it easy to change between the ultra wide-angle, wide-angle and “telephoto”, which you might find useful for a faster workflow in video. It’s also possible to go beyond 2x but remember quality will suffer.
To cut a long story short, I believe that with modern smartphones you rarely need to use external lenses, and the so called 2x telephotos for smartphones, which once seemed so important, can be forgotten by most people. Just crop to your heart’s content… but do remember that too much cropping can degrade the quality of the image: 2x, 3x is within the realm of what’s possible, as my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra show. In fact the S22 Ultra can go beyond that, although the quality at the 100x Samsung claims it does is not something for photographers, more a solution for painters…

Rodrygo and Federico Valverde scored to earn Real Madrid a 2-1 win over neighbours Atletico Madrid in a heated derby on Sunday a return to the top of La Liga.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have started their title defence in perfect fashion, with a 100 percent record from six games. This victory took Real two points above Barcelona, who had leapfrogged into first on Saturday.
The game was marred by racist chants aimed at Real Madrid's Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior outside the stadium before the game, sparked by criticism of his dancing goal celebrations and a subsequent debate over whether that criticism was racist.
Fans also threw objects at Vinicius after a Real goal and aimed racist chants at him in the closing stages.
After another Brazilian, Rodrygo, broke the deadlock in the 18th minute, he danced in celebration with Vinicius, to the chagrin of Atletico's enraged supporters. Some threw objects, including lighters, at the duo.
Madrid were missing the injured Karim Benzema while the hosts picked Antoine Griezmann in the starting line-up for the first time this season, and they were on top in the opening stages.
Spurred on by the rowdy atmosphere, Diego Simeone's side pressed high up the pitch and put Los Blancos on the back foot, with Felipe heading over and Dani Carvajal deflecting a Yannick Carrasco shot into the side netting.
Geoffrey Kondogbia launched an effort at goal which missed narrowly, but with Atletico dominant, Madrid landed a sucker-punch.
Aurelien Tchouameni scooped a delightful pass over the defence and Rodrygo smartly dispatched it past Jan Oblak.
Atletico tried to fight back, with a fierce drive from Griezmann flying past the post and Thibault Courtois denying Carrasco, before Madrid struck another killer blow.
Vinicius, whistled by Atletico fans, combined with Luka Modric before hitting the post and Fede Valverde followed up to slam into the net from close range after 36 minutes.
The Uruguayan has four goals and two assists in seven games across all competitions, cementing himself as an essential presence on the right flank for Ancelotti.
Real Madrid took the sting out of the game in the second half by trying to keep the ball. Atletico midfielder Koke was booked for a wild hack at Rodrygo.
It was Koke's 553rd game for the club, equalling the all-time record set by Adelardo, who retired in 1976, but it was one to forget.
Mario Hermoso pulled a goal back when Courtois flailed at a corner and the defender finished with his shoulder into the empty net in the 83rd minute, but Atletico could not complete an unlikely comeback.
Further racist chanting was aimed at Vinicius from some home fans, and Hermoso was sent off in stoppage time for battling with Dani Ceballos at a corner to earn a second yellow card.
It was a dismal end to a dismal night for Atletico, both on and, shamefully, off the pitch.

Jetsabel Osorio Chévere looked up with a sad smile as she leaned against her battered home.
Nearly five years have gone by since Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, and no one has offered her family a plastic tarp or zinc panels to replace the roof that the Category 4 storm ripped off the two-story home in an impoverished corner in the north coast town of Loiza.
“No one comes here to help,” the 19-year-old said.
It’s a familiar lament in a U.S. territory of 3.2 million people where thousands of homes, roads and recreational areas have yet to be fixed or rebuilt since Maria struck in September 2017. The government has completed only 21% of more than 5,500 official post-hurricane projects, and seven of the island’s 78 municipalities report that not a single project has begun. Only five municipalities report that half of the projects slated for their region have been completed, according to an Associated Press review of government data.
And with Tropical Storm Fiona forecast to hit Puerto Rico on Sunday, possibly as a hurricane, more than 3,600 homes still have a tattered blue tarp serving as a makeshift roof.
“That is unacceptable,” said Cristina Miranda, executive director of local nonprofit League of Cities. “Five years later, uncertainty still prevails.”
Puerto Rico’s governor and Deanne Criswell, head of the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency who recently visited the island, stressed that post-hurricane work is underway, but many wonder how much longer it will take and worry another devastating storm will hit in the meantime.
Criswell said officials focused on recovery and emergency repairs for the first three years after Maria. Reconstruction has now started, she noted, but will take time because authorities want to ensure the structures being built are robust enough to withstand stronger hurricanes projected as a result of climate change.
“We recognize the concern that recovery may seem like it’s not moving fast enough five years later,” she said. “Hurricane Maria was a catastrophic event that caused damages that are really complex.”
The hurricane damaged or destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes and caused an estimated 2,975 deaths after razing the island’s power grid. Crews only recently started to rebuild the grid with more than $9 billion of federal funds. Island-wide blackouts and daily power outages persist, damaging appliances and forcing those with chronic health conditions to find temporary solutions to keep their medications cold.
The slow pace has frustrated many on an island emerging from the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Some Puerto Ricans have opted to rebuild themselves instead of waiting for government help they feel will never come.
Osorio, the 19-year-old from Loiza, said her family bought a tarp and zinc panels out of their own pockets and set up a new roof over their second floor. But it leaks, so now she lives with her father and grandfather on the first floor.
Meanwhile, in the island’s central region, community leaders who accused the government of ignoring rural areas formed a nonprofit, vowing to never go through what they experienced after Maria. They’ve built their own well, opened a community center in an abandoned school and used their own equipment to repair a key road. They also opened a medical clinic in April and certified nearly 150 people in emergency response courses.
“That’s what we’re seeking, to not depend on anyone,” said Francisco Valentín with the Primary Health Services and Socioeconomic Development Corporation. “We’ve had to organize ourselves because there’s no other option.”
Municipal officials also have grown tired of waiting for help.
In the southern coastal town of Peñuelas, Mayor Gregory Gonsález said he sought permission to hire special brigades to repair roads, ditches and other infrastructure, with work starting in mid-September.
It is one of five municipalities that has not seen a single post-hurricane project completed, with a pier, medical center, government office and a road still awaiting reconstruction. Gonsález said that few companies make bids because they lack employees, or they quote a price higher than that authorized by federal officials as inflation drives up the cost of materials.
It’s a frustration shared by Josian Santiago, mayor of the central mountain town of Comerío. He said it’s urgent that crews repair the main road that connects his town to the capital of San Juan because landslides are closing it down with increasing frequency. Tropical Storm Earl was blamed for causing eight landslides on Sept. 6, just hours before it became a hurricane.
“It’s a terrible risk,” Santiago said, adding that engineers recently told him it could take another two years to repair. “Two years?! How much longer do we have to wait?!”
Reminders of how much time has passed since Hurricane Maria hit are scattered across Puerto Rico.
Faded red plastic tassels tied around wooden electrical posts that still lean as much as 60 degrees flapped in the wind as Tropical Storm Earl dumped heavy rain across the island in early September.
Norma López, a 56-year-old homemaker, has a post leaning just feet away from her balcony in Loiza, and it exasperates her every time she sees it.
“It’s still there. About to fall,” said López, who lost her roof to Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and again to Maria. “I’m here trying to survive.”
Sixty-five-year-old Virmisa Rivera, who lives nearby, said her roof leaks every time it rains, and the laminated walls near her bedroom are permanently soaked.
She said FEMA gave her $1,600 to rent a house while it repaired her roof, but no crews came by. Her boyfriend, who recently died, attempted to install zinc panels, but they don’t protect from heavy rain.
“My house is falling apart,” she said, adding that the government said it would move her to a new home in another neighborhood since it can’t repair hers because it’s in a flood zone.
But Rivera worries she will die if she moves: She takes 19 pills a day and uses an oxygen tank daily. Her family lives next door, which gives her security since she now lives alone.
Family also is the reason Osorio, the 19-year-old, would like to see a roof for the second floor. It’s where her mother raised her and her sister before dying. Osorio was 12, so her younger sister was sent to live with an aunt.
Plywood panels now cover the windows of the second floor that her mother built by hand with cinderblocks. It’s where she taught Osorio how to make candles and cloth wipes for babies that they used to sell, sitting side-by-side while Osorio talked about her school day.
“This is my mother’s,” Osorio said as she motioned to the second floor, “and that’s where I plan to live.”

An evacuation order for B.C.’s largest wildfire has been rescinded, though the BC Wildfire Service says the blaze remains out of control.
The Battleship Mountain wildfire in the Prince George Fire Centre is now estimated at more than 302 kilometers.
The fire in the northeast corner of the province led to an evacuation order for about 1,000 residents on Sept. 10, but the District of Hudson’s Hope says that has been lifted.
The BC Wildfire Service says the blaze about 50 kilometers west of Hudson’s Hope was caused by lightning on Aug. 30.
It is one of the two remaining blazes classified as wildfires of note on the service’s website.
But it is reporting the Bearhole Lake fire, which is also located in the Prince George region, will be downgraded Sunday as cooler temperatures and rain continue to dampen the fire’s activity.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State fired football coach Herm Edwards in his fifth season following an ugly home loss to Eastern Michigan and a lingering NCAA investigation into illegal recruiting practices.
Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson announced the decision on Sunday, a day after the Sun Devils lost 30-21 to Eastern Michigan of the Mid-American Conference as heavy favorites.
Edwards went 46-26 at Arizona State, including 1-2 this season.
“We have made the decision to make a change in the leadership of our football program, effective immediately,” Anderson said in a statement. “By mutual agreement, coach Edwards and I have determined that he will relinquish duties as our head coach. At the core of this is doing what is best for our current team, staff and university. I understand the frustrations out there. We must do better and that starts with our decision today.”
Edwards managed to hold onto his job after an up-and-down 2021, but another shaky loss led to his firing three games into the season. Arizona State is still awaiting word on possible NCAA sanctions for allegedly hosting recruits on campus during an NCAA-mandated COVID-19 dead period in 2020.
Edwards, a former NFL head coach, was considered an unconventional hire when he was tapped by Crow and Anderson to lead the middling program. A former NFL agent, Anderson represented Edwards during his playing days with the New York Jets.
Edwards spent the nine previous years as an NFL TV analyst and had not been a college coach since serving as San Jose State's defensive backs coach from 1987-89.
The loquacious coach changed the narrative his first few seasons in Tempe, proving to be an adept recruiter while leading the Sun Devils to two straight bowl appearances.
The goodwill didn't last.
Arizona State was hit hard by COVID-19 during the delayed 2020 season, finishing 2-2. The Sun Devils opened the 2021 season 5-1 before suffering consecutive ugly losses, giving up 56 straight points to Utah and Washington State.
Edwards was thought to be on the hot seat at the end of the season, but Anderson said he would remain as coach following a lopsided win over rival Arizona.
Arizona State had an exodus of players and coaches during the offseason, losing five assistant coaches, 11 players drafted or signed by NFL teams and numerous key players to the transfer portal.
Edwards rebuilt the Sun Devils mainly through the transfer portal, adding 43 new players to the roster.
The Sun Devils opened the season with an expectedly-easy win over FCS opponent Northern Arizona and played OK at No. 8 Oklahoma State before fading late in 34-17 loss.
Arizona State hoped it righted itself against Eastern Michigan, only to fall flat against a 20 1/2-point underdog at home. The Sun Devils could not stop the Eagles defensively, were plagued by key penalties and became the first Pac-12 school to lose to a MAC school.
“I’m probably more disappointed than anybody because I talked about it all week,” Edwards said Saturday night. “As much as I do in my power to reach the team and say, ‘Man you can’t fall into this trap.’ And we did.”

Jags' home win streak vs Colts reaches eight with shutout
Trevor Lawrence threw two touchdown passes to Christian Kirk, and Jacksonville dominated short-handed Indianapolis 24-0 on Sunday for its eighth consecutive home victory in the series.
The Canadian Press
NFL: Colts 0, Jaguars 24
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Trevor Lawrence threw two touchdown passes to Christian Kirk, and Jacksonville dominated short-handed Indianapolis 24-0 on Sunday for its eighth consecutive home victory in the series.
The Jaguars sacked Matt Ryan five times, intercepted three of his passes, held reigning NFL rushing champion Jonathan Taylor to 54 yards and notched their eighth shutout in franchise history. The past three have come against Indianapolis (0-1-1), which hasn’t won in Jacksonville since 2014.
This one was never in doubt and helped Doug Pederson record his first victory with the Jags.
Jacksonville (1-1) scored touchdowns on two of its first three possessions and cruised past the team picked as a contender in the AFC South.
Lawrence completed 25 of 30 passes for 235 yards, with TD passes of 5 and 10 yards to Kirk. Kirk finished with six catches for 78 yards.
James Robinson ran 23 times for 60 yards, including a 37-yard TD scamper in the first half that showed he’s fully back from a torn Achilles tendon sustained last December.
Jacksonville's defense was the bigger story. Rookie linebacker Devin Lloyd and safeties Andre Cisco and Rayshawn Jenkins picked off Ryan. Josh Allen had two of the unit's five sacks. He also forced a fumble. It was one of the more impressive shutouts in franchise history.
It also might come with an asterisk. The Colts played without three key starters: All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard and receivers Michael Pittman and rookie Alec Pierce. Without Pittman, Ryan had little experience and even less speed on the field. Ashton Dulin led the way with five receptions for 79 yards.
Ryan had been 4-0 against Jacksonville. But he will surely feel his first loss against the team. Ryan was knocked around early and often — his jersey was covered in dirt and grass stains — and was slow to get up after several hits.
The Colts had two fourth-quarter drives in the red zone, but Ryan was under duress on both incompletions to the end zone.
Indy’s bigger issue was getting Taylor loose. After running for 161 yards last week in a tie at Houston, Taylor had just 4 yards on five carries at halftime. He broke free for a 21-yard gain in the second half, but it was too little too late.
Colts coach Frank Reich fell to 0-5 against Jacksonville, a dubious skid that surely won't sit well with team owner Jim Irsay. Reich and his team blew a chance to make the playoffs last season by losing the finale in Jacksonville. They spent the past eight months waiting for this rematch — and then were essentially no-shows.
KEY INJURIES
Colts FS Julian Blackmon left the game in the first half with a shoulder injury but later returned. ... Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell missed a play in the fourth quarter.
UP NEXT
Colts: Host Kansas City in their home opener next Sunday, beginning a daunting, three-game stretch that also includes Tennessee and Denver.
Jaguars: Travel cross-country to face the Los Angeles Chargers next Sunday. Jacksonville has lost 15 of 18 games in the Pacific time zone.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mac Jones threw for 253 yards and a touchdown and the New England Patriots edged the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-14 on Sunday.
The Patriots (1-1) haven't lost consecutive games to start a season since 2001. They took advantage of a handful of mistakes by the Steelers (1-1), including a muffed punt in the third quarter by ex-Patriot Gunner Olszewski that set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Damien Harris. That gave New England an 11-point lead it didn't relinquish.
Jones finished 21 of 35, including a 44-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Nelson Agholor late in the first half. Jones, who dealt with back spasms last week against Miami and missed practice time this week with an illness, also threw an interception on a lob that was easily picked off by safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. The second-year quarterback narrowly avoided a second in the third quarter when Cam Sutton dropped a pass that hit him squarely in the hands, one of a handful of missed opportunities by the Steelers.
Harris ran for 71 yards, most of them coming on a clock-chewing drive in the final minutes that let New England play keep away as Pittsburgh's defense sagged late without star outside linebacker T.J. Watt, who is out indefinitely with a left pectoral injury.
Mitch Trubisky threw for 168 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Steelers, whose offense sputtered for long stretches as it struggled to find any sense of rhythm.
Trubisky hit Pat Freiermuth for a 7-yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to draw the Steelers within three and briefly quiet the chants for rookie backup quarterback Kenny Pickett.
Those cheers don't figure to go away anytime soon, however, after the Steelers went three and out twice when they got the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead.
The first meeting between two of the NFL's marquee franchises to feature neither Tom Brady nor Ben Roethlisberger in years lacked the high stakes that long defined the rivalry between former AFC superpowers.
Instead, New England came in looking for a spark following a blah Week 1 loss to Miami while the Steelers are still in the nascent stages of the post-Roethlisberger era, a journey that began with a thrilling and slightly bizarre victory over Cincinnati last Sunday.
The overtime victory came at quite a cost. Without Watt, Pittsburgh failed to generate any sort of sustained pass rush against Jones. The Steelers failed to record a single sack, and while Jones wasn't spectacular, he didn't have to be while extending drives with responsible and safe throws over the middle.
It was enough to help the Patriots improve to 13-4 against the Steelers under coach Bill Belichick. New England celebrated its 500th game under Robert Kraft's ownership the same way it celebrated so many others: with a victory short on style but long on substance.
UP NEXT
Patriots: Host Baltimore next Sunday.
Steelers: Travel to Cleveland to face the Browns on Thursday night. Pittsburgh swept their longtime AFC North rivals last season.

Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League with a comfortable 3-0 win over Brentford.
Centre-back William Saliba got the Gunners going early with a header from a Bukayo Saka corner after 17 minutes.
Then 11 minutes later Gabriel Jesus doubled the visitors’ lead with a powerful header from an excellent Granit Xhaka cross. How Xhaka found himself in so much space right on the edge of the Brentford box will remain a mystery.
The home side were woeful in the first half, with the usually boisterous crowd virtually silent throughout.
Arsenal controlled the ball, holding 64% possession, and their defensive shape also denied Brentford their usual attacking patterns.
The Bees did find some joy in behind ersatz right-back Ben White, but goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was never tested.
Brentford’s strike partnership of Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney managed just four touches in the Arsenal box combined.
Any hopes that the home side could regroup after the break were swept away when Fabio Vieira scored Arsenal’s third.
Vieira, making his first start for the club after joining in the summer, hit a sensational long-range strike that dipped and clipped the post on its way past David Raya.
Brentford improved in the final moments, but barely mounted a single attack of consequence in a surprisingly poor performance.
Arsenal head into the international break atop the Premier League, and face rivals Tottenham in their first match back.

Negotiations to secure Brittney Griner’s release from a Russian prison are still underway.
via: People
President Joe Biden met with Brittney Griner’s wife Cherelle Griner and Paul Whelan’s sister Elizabeth Whelan separately on Friday in the Oval Office, according to the White House.
The meetings were held to “reiterate his continued commitment to working through all available avenues to bring Brittney and Paul home safely,” according to a statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
“He asked after the wellbeing of Elizabeth and Cherelle and their respective families during this painful time,” the statement continued. “The President appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Brittney and Paul from those who love them most, and acknowledged that every minute they are being held is a minute too long.”
Following the meeting, Cherelle posted a picture with Biden, 79, on her Instagram to express her gratitude for his support.
“I want to thank President Biden for yesterday’s meeting as well as the Administration for its efforts to secure my wife’s release,” she wrote in the caption. “It was an honor to speak with him directly about the Brittney we know and love. I’ve felt every minute of the grueling seven months without her. I look forward to the day my wife is back home.”
She continued, “As my family and I continue on this journey, I’d like to thank the broad coalition of friends, leaders and supporters who continue to stand with us and advocate for Brittney’s swift and safe return.”
“Let’s share a unified commitment to bringing all Americans home to their families and loved ones. Together We Are BG,” Cherelle added.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth also thanked Biden and his administration via Twitter for their efforts to bring her brother home, writing in part, “Hostage-diplomacy is a natsec issue; when hostile nations take Americans + hold them as pawns, we must work together with a vigorous whole-of-govt approach to reunite those wrongfully detained with their families, and deter these countries from this malign practice.”
“I have complete faith that the Biden administration is fully engaged and using the tools at their disposal to bring my brother home,” she shared. “Now we need #Russia to also engage in good faith, and free #PaulWhelan.”
I have complete faith that the Biden administration is fully engaged and using the tools at their disposal to bring my brother home. Now we need #Russia to also engage in good faith, and free #PaulWhelan. (4/4)
— elizabethwhelan (@elizabethwhelan) September 17, 2022
Earlier talks between Biden and Russian law enforcement suggested that Brittney, 31, and Paul, 52, may be exchanged for Russian arms dealer, Viktor Bout. However, with no new updates on her next possible steps, “Brittney is stressed and very much concerned with the future,” her lawyer Maria Blagovolina, a partner at Rybalkin Gortsunyan Dyakin and Partners, previously told PEOPLE.
Brittney was sentenced to nine years in prison on Aug. 4 on charges of smuggling drugs into the country, just below the maximum sentence of 10 years. After the trial, Blagovolina had said the sentence was “absolutely unreasonable,” and that she and Brittney’s legal team will file an appeal as soon as possible. That happened on Aug. 15, and nearly a month later, they’re still waiting to learn what day the hearings will start, Blagovolina says.
According to CNN, Paul has been held in Russia since 2018 for alleged espionage.
News of his arrest broke on New Year’s Eve 2018 when Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that it had detained the Michigan resident during a “spy mission”. However, a U.S. government security source told PEOPLE at the time that Paul is not a secret agent for the United States.

Joe Biden 60 Minutes LIVE — The President’s rare interview with Scott Pelley to air tonight – see how to watch
PRESIDENT Joe Biden sat down this week for a 60 Minutes interview for the first time since taking office.
Though President Biden has previously done many segments on the popular CBS broadcast, this will be his first interview with them since becoming the 46th President of the United States.
CBS announced Thursday that Biden gave the interview to correspondent Scott Pelley in Detroit on Wednesday and that it would air Sunday as the 55th season premiere of 60 Minutes.
Biden is expected to discuss inflation, the midterm elections, and Russia's war on Ukraine in the special.
The two-part interview will air tonight on CBS at 7.30pm ET. Viewers can tune in on both CBS and Paramount+.
Read our Joe Biden 60 Minutes blog for live updates...
About extremism
Joe Biden addressed the nation about the far-right MAGA-based extremism on September 1, 2022.
Extremism in the US is something Biden says presents a direct threat to American democracy.
He traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to deliver his prime-time speech.
Ahead of the speech a senior White House official told The New York Times that Biden would explain how "MAGA Republicans" have put institutions in the US at risk.
The speech followed Biden's condemnation of "MAGA extremists" on August 26, where he stated they have embraced "semi-fascism."
Biden has said: “They’re a threat to our very democracy.
“They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace political violence.”
Sneak peek
Watch below for a look at tonight's 60 Minutes segment.
Nationwide railroad strike
Speaking about the recently averted nationwide railroad strike, President Joe Biden said: "We brought business and labor together."
He went on to say how negotiations succeeded with the railroad workers considering a strike.
"If, in fact, they'd gone on a strike, the supply chains in this country would have come to a screeching halt.
"We would've seen a real economic crisis."
Biden warns Putin
In a clip of the interview, President Joe Biden was asked what he would say to Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin if he was considering using weapons of mass destruction.
He replied: “Don’t, don’t, don’t. You will change the face of war unlike anything since World War Two.”
Asked what the consequences would be for Russia if he did, the President said: “It’ll be consequential. They’ll become more of a pariah in the world than they ever have been.
“And depending on the extent of what they do will determine what response would occur.”
Long-awaited interview
CBS's Scott Pelley told People that he had been trying to coordinate the 60 Minutes interview with the President since his inauguration.
Their original meeting for the interview had been postponed due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Who is Scott Pelley?
CBS Correspondent Scott Pelley is an American journalist and author who has been reporting stories for 60 Minutes since 2004.
Scott has won 42 national Emmy awards for his work.
Topics to be covered
Biden is expected to discuss inflation, the midterm elections, and Russia's war on Ukraine in the 60 Minutes interview.
Biden's time in the White House
Prior to serving as President, Biden served as Vice President under Barack Obama from January 2009 to January 2017.
A few years later, in 2020, Biden ran against Donald Trump in one of the most controversial elections of all time.
He ultimately beat Trump after securing the 20 electoral votes he needed from Pennsylvania.
Biden was then officially sworn in on January 20, 2021, with now-Vice President Kamala Harris, and will be up for re-election in 2024.
At this time, it is unclear if he will run again.
Biden spoke last week
On September 11, President Joe Biden gave a speech paying tribute to lost Americans at a ceremony at the Pentagon.
This year marked the 21st anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
“We will never forget, we will never give up,” Biden said during his speech.
“Our commitment to preventing another attack on the United States is without end.”
“It’s not enough to stand up for democracy once a year or every now and then,” he added.
“It’s something we have to do every single day. So this is a day not only to remember, but also is a day for renewal and resolve for each and every American in our devotion to this country, to the principles it embodies, to our democracy.”

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State fired football coach Herm Edwards in his fifth season following an ugly home loss to Eastern Michigan and a lingering NCAA investigation into illegal recruiting practices.
Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson announced the decision on Sunday, a day after the Sun Devils lost 30-21 to Eastern Michigan of the Mid-American Conference as heavy favorites.
Edwards went 46-26 at Arizona State, including 1-2 this season and 17-14 in the Pac-12. The Sun Devils never won more than eight games in a season under Edwards.
Running backs coach Shaun Aguano will serve as interim coach.
“We have made the decision to make a change in the leadership of our football program, effective immediately,” Anderson said in a statement. “By mutual agreement, coach Edwards and I have determined that he will relinquish duties as our head coach. At the core of this is doing what is best for our current team, staff and university. I understand the frustrations out there. We must do better and that starts with our decision today.”
The Sun Devils begin Pac-12 play next with three ranked teams: No. 13 Utah at home Saturday, followed by No. 7 Southern California and No. 18 Washington.
Edwards managed to hold onto his job after an up-and-down 2021, but another shaky loss led to his firing three games into the season. Arizona State is still awaiting word on possible NCAA sanctions for allegedly hosting recruits on campus during an NCAA-mandated COVID-19 dead period in 2020.
Edwards, a former NFL head coach, was considered an unconventional hire when he was tapped by Crow and Anderson to lead the middling program. A former NFL agent, Anderson represented Edwards during his playing days with the New York Jets.
Edwards spent the nine previous years as an NFL TV analyst and had not been a college coach since serving as San Jose State's defensive backs coach from 1987-89.
The loquacious coach changed the narrative his first few seasons in Tempe, proving to be an adept recruiter while leading the Sun Devils to two straight bowl appearances.
The goodwill didn't last.
Arizona State was hit hard by COVID-19 during the delayed 2020 season, finishing 2-2. The Sun Devils opened the 2021 season 5-1 before suffering consecutive ugly losses, giving up 56 straight points to Utah and Washington State.
Edwards was thought to be on the hot seat at the end of the season, but Anderson said he would remain as coach following a lopsided win over rival Arizona.
Arizona State had an exodus of players and coaches during the offseason, losing five assistant coaches, 11 players drafted or signed by NFL teams and numerous key players to the transfer portal.
Edwards rebuilt the Sun Devils mainly through the transfer portal, adding 43 new players to the roster.
The Sun Devils opened the season with an expectedly-easy win over FCS opponent Northern Arizona and played OK at No. 8 Oklahoma State before fading late in 34-17 loss.
Arizona State hoped it righted itself against Eastern Michigan, only to fall flat against a 20 1/2-point underdog at home. The Sun Devils could not stop the Eagles defensively, were plagued by key penalties and became the first Pac-12 school to lose to a MAC school.
“I’m probably more disappointed than anybody because I talked about it all week,” Edwards said Saturday night. “As much as I do in my power to reach the team and say, ‘Man you can’t fall into this trap.’ And we did.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — After 36 rounds together in the ring over the past five years, Canelo Álvarez finally put a convincing finish on his remarkable trilogy with Gennady Golovkin.
The Mexican superstar decisively won his third ring meeting with Gennady Golovkin on Saturday night, earning a unanimous-decision victory and clear superiority in their rivalry.
Four years after the fighters’ most recent meeting ended in a narrow, disputed victory for Álvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs), the four-division world champion left little doubt about this verdict — even though he won by just 115-113 on two judges’ scorecards, with the third seeing it 116-112.
“He’s a strong fighter,” Álvarez said to the raucous cheers of his supportive Vegas crowd. “For me, I’m just glad to share the ring with him. He’s a really good fighter. I’m glad to be involved in that kind of fight.”
Even with an injured left hand that he says will require surgery, the 32-year-old Álvarez delivered a comprehensive pummeling of the now-40-year-old Golovkin (42-2-1) in the first eight rounds, repeatedly testing Triple G’s famed chin with combinations and overhand rights. Golovkin rallied late, but ran out of time.
Golovkin started far too slowly with no clear strategy to take the initiative away from Álvarez. Fighting at 168 pounds for the first time in his career, the Kazakh middleweight star still had moments of his dynamic best in the later rounds against a wearier Canelo, but they weren’t enough to turn the bout against a younger opponent more comfortable at super middleweight, where he reigns as the undisputed champion.
“Everybody knows this is high level, the best fight for boxing,” Golovkin said. “Look at his face. Look at my face. It’s high level, because we trained well, and this is shows that we did a very good fight, very good quality.”
The bitter rivals embraced and spoke warmly to each other after the final bell, perhaps signaling a thaw in their frosty relationship.
Judges Steve Weisfeld and David Sutherland both scored the no-action first round and four of the final five rounds for Golovkin, leading to those 115-113 scores in a bout that Álvarez largely dominated for long stretches. The Associated Press also favored Canelo, 117-111.
Golovkin landed only 23% of his 521 punches, and he only threw 10 punches to Canelo’s body, according to CompuBox. Álvarez wasn’t much more accurate, landing only 26% of his shots, but the Mexican star landed 85 power punches to Golovkin’s 46 and controlled the ring for long stretches.
With a clear victory to wrap up one of the livelier rivalries in recent boxing history, Álvarez rebounded splendidly from only the second loss of his career, a fairly one-sided light heavyweight defeat delivered by Dmitry Bivol last May.
“Thank you so much for your support,” Álvarez said to the crowd. “I’ve gone through very difficult things in my life. Only thing you can do is continue to move forward. I’ve gone through difficult times with my defeat, but defeats can show how you can be great, how you can come back and show humility.”
Golovkin again said he won’t retire after this bout, but the longtime middleweight champion took only his second loss — and the first that was decisive. All three blemishes on his career record are the results of his trilogy with Álvarez.
“I have a great plan,” Golovkin said of his future. “I have a lot of appointments. Congrats today, Canelo. Congrats, fans. Remember, I’m still champion at 160. I come back, guys. I’m still champion.”
After their first two fights resulted in a draw and a narrow majority-decision victory for Álvarez, the fighters finally met again four years later, again fighting just off the Las Vegas Strip at T-Mobile Arena, the site of all three meetings in the trilogy.
The 32-year-old Álvarez was a 5-to-1 favorite shortly before the opening bell, and he fought like it. Throwing far more punches and taking the initiative away from Golovkin, Canelo largely dominated the first half of the fight while a welt rose on Golovkin’s right temple.
Golovkin had no discernible game plan against Canelo’s bullying in the first eight rounds, instead absorbing Álvarez’s blows and not launching enough of his own. Golovkin finally upped his work rate and made progress against a wearier Canelo in the late rounds, but it wasn’t enough.
Álvarez was cut over his right eye in the later rounds, but the damage and Golovkin’s increased activity didn’t appear to wobble him at all, even while his offensive effectiveness dipped.
The bout was the long-delayed final chapter in one of the most intriguing trilogies of this era. Álvarez and Golovkin first fought in 2017 and again in 2018, but those 24 rounds did nothing to determine superiority among two evenly matched fighters with nearly unmatched combinations of skill and punching power.
They fought to a split draw in their first meeting, but nearly everybody without an official scorecard thought Golovkin deserved the victory. Their second meeting was closer, and while Álvarez won by razor-thin majority decision, Golovkin again vehemently disagreed with the judges in his only career defeat.
Golovkin had fought only four times in the four years since that bout, and this third bout likely was delayed by his vocal criticism of Álvarez for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance before the second fight. Álvarez said the rivalry was now personal after years of bad blood and mutual criticism, while Golovkin insisted Álvarez was just another opponent.
That’s clearly not true: This matchup was special, and it may turn out to be the greatest rivalry of both fighters’ careers.
In the show’s penultimate bout, Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez remained unbeaten and retained his WBC super flyweight title with a difficult unanimous-decision victory over Israel Gonzalez. The 22-year-old Rodriguez (17-0, 11 KOs) is a rising star, and he overcame a point deduction for a low blow to win a tactical matchup with an unorthodox opponent.

(iSeeCars) – Be prepared. There’s a reason why the Boy Scouts adopted this simple motto, which can apply to all areas of life. And one area where it’s crucial to be prepared is in your car, because regardless of how reliable your vehicle is, it will inevitably break down and you’ll likely be far from the comforts of home when it does. To help drivers prepare for all unexpected scenarios, we’ve developed a helpful guide of things to keep in your car. These essential items could make all the difference when ensuring your breakdown is benign versus catastrophic. Some of these items will help you travel more comfortably during your day-to-day driving as well.
We hope your vehicle doesn’t leave you stranded on the side of the road, but we recommend these 24 things to keep in your car just in case.
1. Up-to-Date Registration
We’ll start with the obvious one here. You’ll need your car registration if your vehicle doesn’t break down. There’s always the chance that you’ll be going a tad over the speed limit or unknowingly take a turn at a red light when you weren’t supposed to, and a police officer will happen to be watching. More importantly, however, is the off-chance that you’re in an accident. Your registration will be a necessity in this instance as well. In either instance, you will need proof of your registration. If you don’t have that proof, you can receive a citation or a fine. If your registration isn’t current, you can be pulled over for having an expired registration. This will result in a harsher penalty than simply not having proof of a current registration, and your penalty will depend on how long your registration has been expired. In the most extreme case, your vehicle could be impounded. Always be aware of when your registration is set to expire, and make sure you renew it before that happens.
2. Insurance Card
Car insurance is mandatory in 49 of 50 states. The exception is New Hampshire, where it is not required as long as you can show financial responsibility. To show that you are compliant with your state’s law you should always have your proof of insurance with you. Not only is it the law, it is also a necessity should you ever get in an accident. Proof of insurance varies with your insurance company and can be in the form of an ID card or in a document. It must contain your policy number, effective dates, your vehicle description and VIN, and name of the policyholder. Online versions of these documents are also available, so you can save them on your phone for easy retrieval instead of keeping the physical version in your glove compartment. However, we recommend having a physical version handy along with the electronic version.
3. Owner’s Manual
Another item that should be a mainstay in your glove box is your car’s owner’s manual. This will include helpful information like what your tire pressure should be and what certain warning lights mean. You never know when you’ll need it, so you should always have it accessible. Modern cars often include a ditigal version of the owner’s manual, but just like registration, we recommend a paper copy as backup, and you can often request these from the manufacturer or a site like Helminc.com.
4. Spare Tire/Tire Jack
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of the roads, waiting to take a nice big chunk out of one of your tires, or poke something really sharp into one. Unless your vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires, these occurrences can quickly put an end to your travel plans. So, unless you want to pay a tow truck to come and haul your vehicle to the nearest service station, you’ll want to make sure your spare tire is always properly inflated (something you can ask any shop to do whenever your vehicle is in for service), and your tire jack is in proper working order. You should also have the correct tools to change a tire, including a lug wrench. AAA members can call to have their tire replaced with their spare, though you will likely have to wait a long time.
5. Tire Pressure Gauge
Keeping with the tire theme is a tire safety gauge. While modern vehicles have warning indicators to let you know if your pressure is low, it’s important to have a tire pressure gauge to ensure you fill your tire up to the correct PSI.
6. Tire Pump and Sealant
Keeping wth the tire theme, you can also go a step further and have a portable tire inflator so you never have to rely on air from a gas station. If you have a minor puncture, filling the tire with air and sealing it will allow you to safety drive to your destination.
7. Jumper Cables/Emergency Road Kit
Did you know some car batteries only last for two years? While three to four years is the norm for battery life, a dead battery can come without warning, especially during the winter months. While jumper cables are a necessity, the full emergency road kit is a strong recommendation. Most emergency kits, which can be purchased on Amazon or at any big-box retail store, will come with a small array of tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers, as well as road flares, fluorescent reflective triangles, hose tape, and those jumper cables. The jumper cables will come in extremely handy if you have a habit of leaving your headlights or dome lights on. Either thing can drain the life from your battery in as little as a few hours depending on the age and strength of your vehicle’s battery.
8. Blankets
This may seem like a silly thing to have in your car if you live in a warm place like Florida, Texas, or Southern California; but blankets come in handy for more than just keeping you warm. Say you break down on a road that’s covered in dirt, gravel, mud, grime, or some sticky substance you dare not guess about. Laying a blanket down to get on the ground and see what’s wrong, or simply to change a tire, can save your clothes, knees, and back a whole lot of trouble. Of course, there’s always the keeping warm thing, too, if you live in an area where it gets cold.
9. Washer Fluid
We suggest always keeping a gallon of washer fluid in the trunk. Chances are you’ll never need it, until that one time when a semi throws three inches of mud and muck on your windshield and you hit the windshield wiper button only to hear that familiar buzz…and get nothing. Pulling over and grabbing the washer fluid from the trunk is much easier than dumping whatever drink you have in the cup holder on your windshield and trying to scrub it clean with your shirt.
10. Flashlight
Some of those emergency road kits we talked about earlier do come with a flashlight; however, most don’t. A flashlight will not only come in handy if you happen to break down at night and need to see under your hood or around your car, but it’s also very handy for keeping oncoming traffic away from your vehicle if you don’t happen to have road flares or markers. A flashlight can also come in extremely handy if a passenger needs to find something in the vehicle at night while you’re driving. Driving with the dome light on is still illegal in most states. Just make sure you check the batteries in it often.
11. First Aid Kit
In times of crisis, a first aid kit can literally be a lifesaver. This one should need no explanation whatsoever. If you’re bleeding, a spare tire isn’t going to do much for you, but band aids will.
12. Cell Phone Charger
Having a dedicated phone charger that remains in your car is a lot more convenient than bringing one with you on long road trips or when you think you’ll be out of the house for a while. Sometimes we neglect to charge our phone the night before or accidentally run an app in the background that drains your battery. Regardless of the circumstance, you don’t want to be without your only lifeline should you break down and need to call for help. You may also rely on your phone as a GPS system, and you don’t want to be at the mercy of your phone battery to get you safely to your destination.
13. Duct Tape
Duct tape is one of the most versatile items out there. Just like it can come in handy for temporary (or even permanent) household repairs, it can be very helpful should something break on your vehicle. Say you sideswipe a pole, or if you were the victim of a hit-and-run and your mirror comes loose. Duct tape can keep it in place until it can properly be repaired. You can also use it to temporarily halt leaks in your roof or sunroof to mitigate or prevent costly water damage.
14. Ice Scraper
If you live somewhere with inclement winter weather or even somewhere where it snows infrequently, you should always have an ice scraper in your car. You can get one that is attached to a snow brush so you have everything you need to remove snow and scrape ice off your vehicle. Driving with compromised sight lines can present a hazard to you and other drivers on the road. And in areas with extreme snowfall, keeping a shovel in your trunk to remove snow around your vehicle can also be helpful.
15. Paper Towels and Tissues
Paper products may not save you from danger, but they can certainly make any ride more comfortable in the event of a spill, an unexpected runny nose, or an extra messy drive-through order. If you travel with children, these are even more essential. Baby wipes, even if you don’t have a baby, also prove effective to help clean up spills and messes.
16. Spare Change
You should keep spare change or an emergency stash of cash somewhere in your car. While most parking meters now allow you to pay with a credit card, there are still some holdouts that require change. You may also come across an unexpected toll.
17. Fire Extinguisher
This item is one that you will hopefully never have to use, but it’s important nonetheless. Because vehicles can catch fire during an accident, a fire extinguisher can help put the fire out before help arrives. Modern fire extinguishers are available in extremely small sizes without sacrificing effectiveness, so there’s no excuse to forego this item, even in smaller vehicles or sports cars.
18. Multi-tool
A multi-tool is a small toolkit that includes common tools in a compact package that can fit right in your glove box. It includes scissors, a screwdriver, wrench, knife, and can/bottle opener to cover your bases should you need a tool.
19. Water Bottles
Water bottles can save your life if you are stranded and in need of hydration. In less extreme circumstances, like unforseen traffic, having water handy can make the ride more comfortable. Just make sure your water bottle can withstand extreme temperatures.
20. Non-Perishable Snacks
It’s a good idea to have an easy-to-eat snack handy in the event that hunger strikes. Suggestions include energy bars, nuts, or crackers.
21. Escape Tool
An escape tool is another item you will hopefully never need, but it can provide peace of mind knowing it’s there. An escape tool can cut through a seatbelt and can break window glass from the inside. These can also be lifesavers if you encounter a car accident with someone trapped in their vehicle.
22. Umbrella
Even if there is no rain in the forecast, you never know when you’re going to be caught in an unexpected shower.
23. Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizer is top-of-mind during the global pandemic, and it should remain a mainstay in your vehicle even after the pandemic ends to help prevent the spread of infectious germs.
24. Kitty litter
If you live in an area where icy conditions occur, having kitty litter in your trunk during the winter can be very helpful. It can provide the necessary traction to get out of an icy parking spot or driveway. You don’t need a whole bag though, as it can weigh down your vehicle. A smaller container filled with kitty litter should be sufficient in most cases.
25. Reusable Grocery Bags
Not only are plastic grocery bags banned in some states, but they are also bad for the environment. Having a stash of reusable grocery bags in your trunk will come in handy for trips to the store and can also hold more items than the typical single-use grocery bag.
While there’s something satisfying about an empty trunk and a minimally-filled glove compartment, these empty spaces will leave you unprepared during an emergency or inevitable on-the-road inconvenience. Hopefully you will never need to use these emergency items, but you can rest assured knowing that you have them accessible.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit his 58th and 59th home runs of the season on Sunday, moving within two of Roger Maris’ American League record with 16 games remaining.
Judge’s 11th multihomer game tied the season record set by Detroit’s Hank Greenberg 1938 and matched by the Chicago Cubs’ Sammy Sosa in 1998. The two homers against Milwaukee totaled 857 feet.
Seeking a Triple Crown, Judge had four hits and four RBIs. He leads the major leagues in homers and with 127 RBIs. His two-run double in the ninth raised his batting average to .3162, third behind Minnesota’s Luis Arraez at .317 and Boston’s Xander Bogaerts at .3164.
Judge hit his first of the day on a sinker from Jason Alexander with a 2-0 count in the third inning. The 414-foot, opposite-field drive left the bat at 112 mph.
Then in the seventh against Luis Perdomo, Judge pulled a slider with a 1-2 count for a 443-foot shot to left.
Judge, had not homered in his previous three games since going deep twice at Boston’s Fenway Park.
Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber is second in the major leagues with 39 homers.
Maris hit 61 homers for the Yankees in 1961, one more than Babe Ruth in 1927.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Saints have scratched top running back Alvin Kamara from Sunday's lineup against Tampa Bay because of a rib injury that has bothered him since New Orleans' Week 1 victory at Atlanta.
Kamara, who was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, is one of the New Orleans' most productive players as both a runner and receiver.
Kamara left the Saints' Sept. 11 game in the fourth quarter but initially said afterward that he believed he would be fine. After practicing on a limited basis on Wednesday, he sat out practices on Thursday and Friday.
With Kamara out, veteran Mark Ingram is expected to get the bulk of the work at running back, backed up by Dwayne Washington and Tony Jones Jr.
Kamara is among several established skill players ruled out for the game, including Tampa Bay receivers Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring), as well as Saints receiver Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder), who returned to practice this week after sitting out in Week 1.
New Orleans also scratched second-year defensive end Payton Turner, a 2021 first-round draft choice who blocked the Falcon's 63-yard field goal attempted at the end of regulation in Week 1. He was not on this week's injury report.

‘I’m still a great player’: Cameron Smith banks $6 million payday from first LIV Golf win
Cameron Smith has banked the biggest cheque of his career, cruising to victory in the LIV Golf event in Chicago on Monday morning (AEST).
The 29-year-old, wearing his customary maroon shirt on the final day in tribute to his home state of Queensland, punched the air after sinking his final birdie putt to seal an eye-watering $US4 million ($5.95 million) payday. It was just the second event he’s played on the Saudi-backed breakaway tour.
It was Smith’s first win since his famous British Open win at St Andrews, which catapulted him to world No.2.
But his ranking is due to slide dramatically in the next 12 months, unless LIV Golf chief executive Greg Norman can convince world rankings officials to grant his 54-hole tour official status.
Smith defected to LIV Golf in a reported $140 million deal last month, and the Herald revealed LIV Golf had given Smith equity in an all-Australian franchise, which he will run alongside Marc Leishman when it launches next year.
Having started the final round in Chicago two shots ahead of former US Masters champion Dustin Johnson, Smith fired a final round 69 for a three-shot win from Americans Johnson and Peter Uihlein (10 under).
“I think I had to prove to probably myself and some other people that I’m still a great player,” Smith said. “I’m still out here to win golf tournaments.
“I’m proud how I hung in there today. I probably didn’t have my best stuff for the first eight or nine holes, but I stuck it tough and made a few good putts coming in.
“[Johnson’s] probably the one in the group of players here that you look at and think he’s going to be pretty close to the top of the leaderboard every week. I hope he thinks the same about me and we can keep this going.”
Fellow Australians Matt Jones (four under), Wade Ormsby (four over) and Leishman (six over) were well down the leaderboard in the 48-man event in Chicago.
Phil Mickelson (six under), the oldest major winner in history and one of the main instigators in a host of defections from the PGA Tour, finally found some form with the day’s low round in a six under 66.
Smith kept to traditional golf dress code, wearing long pants, while the majority of his fellow LIV players took advantage of Norman’s relaxed rules to allow them to wear shorts during competition.
LIV Golf officials are due to finalise in the next fortnight where they’ll play an Australian event next year, due to be held in April after the the Masters.
