Zach Wilson is determined to show he’s a different — better — quarterback than he was in his rookie year.
Behind the scenes, that process began months ago for the Jets’ second-year quarterback with the offseason conditioning program, then OTAs, minicamps and now training camp.
On Friday night, behind the scenes becomes front and center when Wilson and the Jets play the Eagles in the teams’ preseason opener at Lincoln Financial Field, where Wilson and the starting offense are expected to play a series or two depending on how successful the first series goes.
“If they put together a good first series, we’ll call it a day,’’ head coach Robert Saleh said. “If not, we’ll just go out there and try to get a certain number of plays.’’
There’s much to improve on for Wilson, who had his struggles his rookie season — and understandably so considering he was thrown immediately into the fire as the face of the franchise and considering some of the cast around him was barely NFL-worthy.
This year is different. The Jets have added some skill-position talent around Wilson and upgraded the offensive line. More will be expected of him. More will be needed from him.
When we last saw Wilson, he was trending upward at the end of last season. He threw nine interceptions in his first five games then just two in his final eight starts, while throwing five touchdown passes in that span.
One thing to watch for beginning Friday is how quickly Wilson makes decisions and gets the ball out of his hands. Yes, the offensive line struggled last season, as evidenced by the 44 times Wilson was sacked on his 383 pass attempts. But Wilson constantly held onto the ball too long, something that’s imperative for him to improve on this season.
“It’s just getting more comfortable, getting more comfortable within offense and the looks that you’re getting and my reads,’’ Wilson said. “I think we’re getting to the point where I’ve seen the plays that we’re running so many times now that I can think about those reps and what the last one looked like [and] I can stack those days up.’’
Tight end Tyler Conklin, one of the offseason acquisitions who’s already developed some good chemistry with Wilson, recalled what he saw of Wilson before he became a Jet and what he’s seen since he arrived.
“Before I got here, you could see all the traits — the arm strength and athleticism,’’ Conklin said. “Since I got here, I’ve seen how hard he works in person — studying, in the weight room and the practice field — his love for the game and how hard he works at it.’’
Conklin said he’s “excited’’ about Wilson’s “ability to extend plays’’ with his athletic ability.
“That’s something that’s hard for defenses to cover,’’ Conklin said. “If the pass rushers can’t get there and he escapes, it creates to many more opportunities for us as an offense. He can do both — sit in the pocket and throw with timing and also get out of the pocket and make plays.’’
Though many teams opt to keep their starters in Bubble Wrap in preseason games, Saleh finds it important to play his starters.
“They’ve got to play, they’ve got to feel it, they’ve got to go out there and feel different bodies at some point,’’ Saleh said. “You’ve got to be able to go through those exercises and all of it. You can’t coach scared, you can’t play scared, if you do, it gets even worse. But, at the same time you’ve got to be smart.’’
Smart in Saleh’s eyes is to play Wilson and the starters for at least a part of the first quarter before sending the backups out for evaluation.
What is he looking for out of Wilson?
“Just execute the best way you know how,’’ Saleh said. “Get comfortable in a game situation — timing, clock, play clock, getting out of the huddle, getting lined up, playing through cadence a little bit. It’s really their first time playing a game since whatever the last time was [at the end of last season], so it’s just a matter of just getting out there and getting comfortable. No expectations.’’
Wilson, however, has some expectations he’d like to fulfill in the first preseason fame.
“The biggest thing is going to be clean football,’’ he said. “We have to go out there with no penalties. There’s going to be the penalties, but it’s going to be the pre-snap penalties that you need to avoid [and] the missed assignments that we need to avoid. We need to look like a football team out there.’’
That begins with Wilson looking like a winning NFL quarterback out there. | https://nypost.com/2022/08/11/zach-wilsons-critical-year-2-with-jets-begins-vs-eagles/ | 2022-08-12T01:53:25Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/08/11/zach-wilsons-critical-year-2-with-jets-begins-vs-eagles/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
By FRED SHUSTER
A bartender told a federal jury Thursday of being shown gruesome cell phone images of Kobe Bryant’s remains by an off-duty Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy who had been on the scene of the helicopter crash that killed the Lakers star and eight others two days earlier.
The testimony of Victor Gutierrez focused on the night of Jan. 28, 2020, when a friend, rookie Deputy Joey Cruz, came into the Baja California Bar & Grill in Norwalk for a beer and showed the bartender and a customer graphic crash site photos stored on his personal cell phone.
“He said he had some photos if I wanted to see them,” Gutierrez testified. “I said, ‘Yeah, kinda.’ It was just (body) parts … scattered human remains.”
Vanessa Bryant and Orange County financial adviser Chris Chester, who lost his wife and daughter in the crash, are suing Los Angeles County for unspecified millions of dollars for negligence and invasion of privacy over pictures of the remains of their loved ones that they allege were needlessly snapped and shared by first responders.
While the county admits that Cruz had a lapse of judgment when he showed the photos — which apparently also included images of the body of the Bryants’ 13-year-old daughter Gigi — all crash-site images taken by county officials have long been deleted and none were disseminated among the public.
As questioning centered on the images and the bartender’s reaction to them, Kobe’s widow sobbed and left the seventh-floor courtroom in downtown Los Angeles.
Surveillance footage from the bar apparently shows Cruz displaying photos for a wincing Gutierrez and another man, and making gestures as if mimicking the catastrophic injuries suffered by the victims.
Asked if Cruz was laughing while showing the pictures, the bartender said he was “100% sure” that the levity apparent on the surveillance video had nothing to do with the cell phone images.
“What type of human being would laugh about human remains … you’ve gotta be psycho to do that,” Gutierrez told jurors, adding that he believed the deputy came into the bar because “he just needed to talk to someone” about what he’d seen at the crash site.
But after Cruz left the bar, the video appears to show Gutierrez excitedly telling at least five people at the bar what he’d seen and seems to demonstrate in gestures the condition of the victims — including Kobe Bryant’s decapitated body.
Among those that heard Gutierrez’s description that night was Rafael Mendez Jr., a member of a local softball team that often stopped at the bar after games.
Mendez provided a lighter moment Thursday when asked the name of his team.
“Past Our Prime,” he replied.
“Is that (description) true?” one of Bryant’s attorneys asked.
“For most of my teammates, it is.”
Mendez testified that he was shocked and upset when Gutierrez said that a sheriff’s deputy had just shown him the crash-site photos.
“I was in disbelief, disappointed, disgusted and angry,” Mendez said. “And I felt I had to do the right thing and tell the sheriff’s department what I’d seen.”
As he sat in his car in the driveway of his Cerritos home later that night, Mendez logged on to the sheriff’s information bureau website and filled out a form, alerting the department that a deputy who had been at the Kobe Bryant crash site was “showing pictures of his decapitated body” to people at the Baja California Bar & Grill.
Mendez was asked why he made the complaint to the LASD almost immediately after leaving the bar, and even before opening his front door.
“I had to get it out,” he replied, becoming emotional. “I had to inform the sheriff’s department. I wanted to sleep well that night. I felt a sense of betrayal. Being a deputy, I felt he had the public’s trust riding on his shoulders. And when he showed pictures of dead bodies, he was betraying the public’s trust.”
Mendez — who at the time was expecting the birth of his first daughter — said he “envisioned” himself and his child in the sort of loving relationship that Kobe Bryant had with Gigi.
The day after sending the complaint, LASD investigators went to the bar and got the surveillance footage showing Cruz taking out his cell phone and calling Gutierrez over to look at something.
On Jan. 30, 2020, Mendez testified, he spoke to Capt. Jorge Valdez, the head of the sheriff’s information bureau, about the complaint.
In cross-examination, Mira Hamshall, lead outside counsel for the county in the litigation, pointed out that Mendez hadn’t actually seen Cruz’s phone.
Bryant’s suit against the county has been combined with that of Chester, who lost wife Sarah and 13-year-old daughter Payton in the tragedy, and makes many of the same allegations.
Both Bryant and Chester contend they suffered emotional distress when county personnel took photos at the crash scene for no legitimate reason and shared them with other law enforcement and members of the public.
In her opening statement Wednesday, Hashmall countered that first responders correctly documented the crash scene while it was still light in the remote mountainous region near Calabasas.
“They responded, they contained that scene, they stayed there day and night,” Hashmall told the 10-member civil jury, adding that while the county sympathizes with the “unspeakable loss” suffered by the Bryant and Chester families, the case is about whether the county publicly disseminated crash site photos in violation of the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.
“They have no evidence that the photos have gotten to the public,” she said, insisting that the county has successfully worked to prevent its crash site photos from entering the public domain.
Bryant and Chester allege that at least 11 sheriff’s personnel and a dozen firefighters shared the photos within 24 hours of the crash.
Hashmall promised jurors that Cruz will take the stand and testify that he had a lapse in judgment when he showed the photos to his bartender friend. The deputy “regrets it every day,” the attorney said.
California legislation growing out of Bryant’s allegations passed two years ago, making it illegal for peace officers and other first responders to take unauthorized photographs of dead people at the scene of a crime or accident.
The trial resumes Friday morning.

The House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, has recently interviewed former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and has been in talks with former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos as well as former National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, multiple sources tell CNN. Chao and DeVos, both members of former President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, resigned a day after the attack on the US Capitol and discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power.
News of Chao’s cooperation, and the committee’s discussions with DeVos and O’Brien have not been previously reported. O’Brien is expected to appear virtually before the panel on Friday, according to a source familiar with the probe. CNN has reached out to O’Brien.
The development comes after former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with the panel on Tuesday. The 25th Amendment was a topic of focus during Pompeo’s meeting, CNN previously reported.
Additionally, sources tell CNN the committee is still negotiating terms for a potential interview with former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe. Given the classified nature of Ratcliffe’s former role, there are unique issues the two sides have to work out, the sources said.At least nine Cabinet-level officials who were still in their roles on January 6 are known to have cooperated with or are engaging with the committee.
Like Pompeo, DeVos and Chao are known to have explored the idea of possibly removing Trump from power via the 25th Amendment in the immediate aftermath of the January 6 attack. While Pompeo served out his tenure as Secretary of State, DeVos and Chao both sent letters of resignation to Trump on January 7.
As national security adviser, O’Brien was not a member of Trump’s Cabinet but sources say he was involved in high-level discussions about the 25th Amendment immediately following January 6. In a statement to CNN, he denied that, saying, “I was at no time involved in discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment.”
CNN previously reported that O’Brien considered resigning from his post over Trump’s response to the violence that day but ultimately decided to remain in the job.
O’Brien was out of town on January 6 but his deputy, Matthew Pottinger, was in Washington and told his boss that day he was resigning. Pottinger testified publicly during the committee’s last hearing focused on Trump’s 187 minutes of inaction as the violence unfolded.
A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment on cooperation with DeVos, O’Brien and Chao.
A spokesperson for Chao declined to comment. A spokesperson for DeVos disputed the notion that DeVos is actively in discussions about scheduling an interview, but provided no further comment to CNN.
Zeroing in on talk of the 25th Amendment
Multiple former Cabinet officials who have been interviewed by the committee were asked about the 25th Amendment, according to numerous sources familiar with the investigation. But the panel still appears to be seeking information about those discussions following January 6.
In a June interview with USA Today, DeVos acknowledged publicly for the first time that she discussed the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment with other Cabinet members and then-Vice President Mike Pence following January 6.
Devos told USA Today that before she resigned, she explored whether using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office was a viable option. DeVos said Pence told her he would not support using the 25th Amendment and that his backing would be necessary for such an effort to be successful.
Sources have told CNN that Chao, the wife of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, had similar discussions prior to stepping down as Secretary of Transportation.
During her public testimony before the committee during a hearing earlier this summer, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified that after the attack on the Capitol, Pompeo warned Meadows that Cabinet secretaries discussed whether to invoke the 25th Amendment.
“You’re technically the boss of all the Cabinet secretaries,” Hutchinson quoted Pompeo telling Meadows. “And you know if the conversations progressed, you should be ready to take action on this.”
Several other Trump Cabinet officials are known to have met with the committee already, including former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, former Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia, former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller and former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen.
The committee also met with former Attorney General William Barr but he had left the administration prior to January 6. Trump’s former acting White House chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney met with the panel last month.
Both Wolf and one of his top deputies, Ken Cuccinelli, sat for interviews with the committee several months ago, sources said. CNN previously reported the interviews.
This story has been updated with additional reporting.

PASADENA — As bleary-eyed parents and children lumbered down Pepper Drive toward Daniel Webster Elementary School’s gate on Thursday morning, Aug. 11, Arpine Khlopyan smiled and greeted everyone, including a crying child who clung to his mother and refused to enter the school.
“The first day, always … we have tears, we have smiles, we have anxiety. We have it all. But you know what? We love [the kids],” said Khlopyan,60, an instructional coach who has worked at Webster Elementary for 30 years.
She offered the boy some words of encouragement before telling the parent that the duo could walk in together.
Across the Pasadena Unified School District, Thursday was the first day back — with perhaps slightly less anxiety after two years of pandemic.
Thanks to relaxed COVID-19 restrictions, parents at Webster were are able to escort their children into the school. They weren’t able to do so previously, which caused many children to be stressed as they had to be separated from their parents at the gate.
Nervous parents watched closely as the pre-, transitional kindergartners and kindergartners stood with their peers and looked around shyly near the kinder playground. Parents’ furrowed brows and tense shoulders eased away when the teachers chatted with them with familial warmth, answering any concerns they may have.
Soft laughter punctuated the heavy air as parents began to mingle among themselves — just like their kids.
Armine Kvsashnina, 33, was excited for her son Daniel’s first day at kindergarten. While Daniel was feeling nervous, Kvsashnina was confident that Daniel will be OK as he has a great teacher. Kvasashnina’s fifth-grade daughter Angeline, also a student at Webster Elementary, became less nervous after meeting her teacher in person.
Unlike their younger peers, the first- to fifth-graders were more upbeat, chatting with each other, some smiling from cheek to cheek. The older kids fell into two single rows according to the classes they were in as their parents watched proudly from afar.
At 7:50 a.m., teachers led the older kids into the building class by class in an orderly fashion. Candice Cooper Horn, a transitional kindergarten and kindergarten teacher, encouraged the kindergartners to smile and wave to their parents — “Tell mommy and daddy to not cry!” she joked — before herding the kids into the building.
Pasadena Unified School District Superintendent Brian McDonald joined Cooper Horn’s class for a moment, where the teacher read a story to the students.
Everything went smoothly this morning, according to Kristen Forrest, Webster Elementary’s principal.
“Something that might have contributed to that was the ice cream social [that] our PTA sponsored last night,” she said.
Parents and students were invited to the event, where they got to know which class the students were in and who their teacher was. Parents were also informed of where to park their cars and which entrance their children should enter the school from, which ensured smooth and organized traffic flow around the school.
The start of the 2022-2023 school year also marked the start of the Armenian world language program at Webster Elementary, where 35% of the 335 students are Armenian.
The program is an opt-in elective program for transitional kindergartners to first-graders. The school will expand the program to the higher grades in years to come. Students may further their language studies at the Armenian Academy in Blair middle school and high school. The goal is for students to become literate in two languages eventually, according to Forrest.
The school recently hired Elin Surnock, who will be the Armenian world language teacher throughout the year.
PUSD is excited to offer the program that will benefit the kids in the Armenian community living around Webster Elementary, according to Superintendent McDonald.
Khlopyan, who is Armenian, is excited about the program. She hopes that students from other cultures join and learn about the Armenian culture as well so that they can become well-rounded citizens.
“We need to educate our kids about the whole human history … our cultural identities and how all of it is interconnective,” she said.

CHEYENNE – Vaccines meant to help prevent monkeypox are now available on a limited, targeted basis across the state, according to the Wyoming Department of Health.
Public health experts are tracking an outbreak of monkeypox that has spread across several countries that don’t normally report the disease, including the U.S., according to recent reporting by health authorities as well as this newspaper. No cases related to this outbreak have yet been identified among Wyoming residents, the WDOH's release said earlier this week. As of Thursday, according to the agency's website, that still was the case.
Dr. Alexia Harrist, state health officer and state epidemiologist with this agency, said monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus.
“This disease is usually characterized by a rash and can also involve other symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and tiredness,” she said in the written statement.
Harrist noted monkeypox is rarely fatal but can be unpleasant and painful and can cause serious illness in some people.
“Monkeypox can spread to anyone through close, personal contact,” she said. “Fortunately, it does not spread nearly as easily as do familiar viruses such as influenza or COVID-19.”
“We’re recommending vaccination for people who have been exposed to monkeypox and also for people who may be more likely to get monkeypox based on the current outbreak and how it has been spreading,” Harrist said. “While anyone can get monkeypox, vaccine eligibility is limited at this point to those people who are at highest risk due to limited supplies.”
The following adults are eligible for pre-exposure vaccination if they live or work in Wyoming:
· Men who have sex with men and who have had multiple or anonymous sexual partners in the last year.
· Partners of men who have sex with men who have had multiple or anonymous sexual partners in the last year.
· Transgender and nonbinary persons assigned male at birth who have sex with multiple or anonymous sexual partners who are male or male assigned at birth within the past year.
· Sex workers (of any gender).
Vaccinations will begin this coming week. Eligible adults interested in vaccination appointments should contact the public health office in their area. A listing of public health offices by county can be found at health.wyo.gov/publichealth/nursing/phn-co-offices. People may also call WDOH at 307-777-6004 for help finding the closest local public health office.
While available monkeypox vaccine doses are being provided by the federal government through the state at no charge, a small administrative fee may be charged.
Monkeypox is related to smallpox with similar but milder symptoms. Monkeypox is not related to chickenpox.

Blimey, bit of a title that, isn’t it? It’s for good reason though. Because I never expected to rock up to a classic car event in an old BMW, only to be redirected into the general parking area because my 728i was ‘too executive’ to officially take part.
But that’s the way the cookie crumbles when you don’t read up on the rules of the land. Here at Speedhunters we’re used to automotive excess, motoring peaks and the highs that come with all of that. But at the Festival of the Unexceptional (FOTU), the following applies: “We prefer Ls to SRis, Populars to Cosworths, and Renaults to Rolls-Royces.”
So, with my trusty BMW tucked away in the corner of the general car park, I grabbed my camera gear and did the walk of shame back into the show field to see what I could find at Hagerty’s very own celebration of ‘the little guy’.
Celebrating the little guy isn’t a common thing at car shows in the UK. It’s always the cars that are objectively considered as good, desirable or important that are put on a pedestal and paraded about. Aside from this event, the only other occasions I can think of where the less desirable stuff is celebrated are small owners club gatherings where make and model-specific enthusiasts get together.
I loved the FOTU, but I knew I would before I even went. You can’t live life in a comfort bubble of predictability though, as too much of this removes creativity and inspiration from your day-to-day life. We need ambiguity, because it forces the decision-making process that naturally encourages our creative sides.
After attending a number of posh car events this summer, I realised I’d been neglecting my obscure car hobby. Being no stranger to mildly interesting cars, I found myself browsing videos on YouTube of various car junk. Things along the lines of “History of the Mk1 Ford KA.” As that video finished, a recommended video popped up from last year’s Festival of the Unexceptional.
The gent on the video spent 30 minutes walking around a selection of cars you’d never even see take centre stage in a period drama TV show, let alone at a traditional car show. This was all the persuading I needed to attend this event myself.
Before I knew it, the 2022 FOTU crept up on my calendar, and after a truly beautiful drive through the hugely vast lawns of Grimsthorpe Castle, I arrived at the venue.
The Festival of the Unexceptional ticket website wasn’t lying; an E30 318is is about as established of a motor as you got at this event. This doesn’t scare me, but I was a touch out of my depth here. The goal would be to take in some new motoring perspectives and ideas, and learn something I didn’t know already. And there was a lot to learn!
But, I fell at the first hurdle, failing to resist the urge and instantly shuffling my way over to something I already know about. Ah, yes, the Peugoet 205. I’ve seen loads of these on the internet before. I’ve watched many, many videos on YouTube about these…
Roland Garros special edition trim? Like Wimbledon, but fittingly French, for a French car? A classy colour, posh leather interior and sexy additional badging to tell you apart from the other peasant 205s. Perfect, I know all about Wimbledon, I’ve watched it o TV.
This is what the FOTU is all about. I completed FOTU before I even walked about, right?… Right?
Wrong. Whilst amazing and niche, the Roland Garros 205 doesn’t quite fully cover what this festival is about. It’s a desirable car and the spec was never really ordinary to begin with. To truly understand what this show is all about, we need to look back in time.
Last year’s FOTU outright winner was a 1989 Proton 1.5 GL Black Knight owned by Jon Coupland. The car has a smidge over 13,000 miles on the clock and is in actual showroom condition. There’s school dinner plates out there that have seen more mileage than this Proton. When new, these were peak commuter cars.
That’s good, but also bad. Good because at one point they were readily available, affordable and maintainable for the every-man. They were a tool, getting people around the country. The bad bit is that time isn’t always kind to tools, and once a better tool is available the old tool gets thrown away and forgotten about. The oh-so vicious cycle of consumerism isn’t kind to tools.
So here is what makes the Festival of the Unexceptional so special. It’s a gathering of people who love these cars because they share an interest in them that runs deeper than just being reliable commuters. They’re appreciated for their time and place and history, not just their ability to go fast or get likes on the internet.
It takes a special type of car enthusiast to keep these cars going and looking smart. People are at the forefront of the FOTU, much more so than at any other car event I’ve been to actually. Hagerty are very well aware of this, and set up the award ceremony to highlight the fact. We’re all used to ‘Best Interior’ and ‘Best Wheels’ accolades, but at the Festival of the Unexceptional there are prizes for ‘Most Exceptional Picnic’ and ‘Most Exceptionally Dressed’.
The latter duly went to Mateusz Strzyzewski, who did a 3,000 mile round trip to Grimstorpe from Warsaw in Poland. In a 1991 Hyundai Pony 1.5 – a trendy maniac with top speed commitment of 90mph. The car of course did it with no problems, and was presented in the main concours paddock in front of the castle.
The battle for the Most Exceptional Picnic was a tight one, with a lot of contenders. Deck chairs and homemade sandwiches were out in full force, and the more serious competitors even brought along electric hobs.
A car that grabbed my attention was John Corbett’s 1990 Fiat Panda Italia. In 1990, the football World Cup was hosted in Italy and sponsored by Fiat, who kicked off the occasion with a limited edition Italia trim Panda. The trim includes a whole host of World Cup references, including those factory wheel trims.
The mascot you can see on the seats above and the bodywork below was used by Italy for the World Cup. Named Ciao, it’s since been voted the best World Cup mascot of all time.
This specific car was actually registered on the day England beat Egypt, 1-0. Rumour has it, when England were eliminated out of the World Cup, all remaining white Pandas were stripped of their Italia trim and sold on as standard, white Panda Ls.
John loves this thing, and was keen to show me all the rare and valuable official Fiat merchandise he’s collected over the years from the ’90 World Cup, including the keyring on his rear-view mirror and the huge Italia ’90 flag he’s wearing in the photos.
Honourable mention of my personal favourite car goes to Ian Black and his lovely wife, who were keen to chat all about their Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Ian has owned this car since new, back in 1984. When I asked him why he chose this over more boring contemporary rivals, he said, “Oh, we own those too.” His wife drives an E30 convertible.
Trendy people with a true passion for cars.
Everyone at the FOTU was keen to chat to me, and everyone was clearly incredibly passionate about their cars. I think everyone at the event could also relate to these cars on a personal level, something you don’t always get with the more prestigious car events. After all, did any of you have a science teacher who drove a 993 Targa? No, they drove a Montego. Cars should should get you thinking, and if that means pushing you out of your comfort zones, let it be so.
Without the chatty people it would be easy to overdose on the amount of yesteryear’s commuter motoring on show. The Festival of the Unexceptional goes to show that even when you go to a field full of ordinary cars, the people remain far from unexceptional.

Love it! There's a few stowaways like the Honda S, Alfa, Jimny, MR2 that were exceptional in their time and still are as versions of those take trophies even on this site, but to give the odder enthusiast their own show is genius and plain fun, especially when you learn the weird things some of these gems featured.
Sure well all i can say is im irish and loved i nice clean car
Must admit, that after reading the title of the article i almost skipped it. Glad i didnt! Some Very cool cars on display here. That S2 S14 is mint! Rare that we get see these models unmolested, you forget just how right Nissan got it from factory. That old GSR mitsu is amazing...
And i never knew that rear engine Skoda existed?! Intriguing!

Thanks for this great article!
To me, this is one of the most interesting events out there. A bit far away from Spain, but would really like to attend at some point. As somebody mentioned before, number of real enthusiasts in this event is probably bigget than many other flashy events. | http://www.speedhunters.com/2022/08/expect-unexpected-festival-unexceptional/ | 2022-08-12T01:56:24Z | speedhunters.com | control | http://www.speedhunters.com/2022/08/expect-unexpected-festival-unexceptional/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Las Vegas Metro police have released body camera videos of officers interacting with and then arresting former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch.
Police released the videos Thursday, two days after Lynch’s arrest on suspicion of DUI. Officers arrested Lynch, 36, around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Officers said they found Lynch “asleep behind the wheel with the vehicle in an undrivable condition.” The car, a 2020 Shelby GT500 Coupe, was unregistered, police said.
The videos, which are essentially the same event records from different angles, show Lynch in the car with a door open and a tire missing from a wheel.
“I’m not driving,” Lynch tells the officers. “The car’s not on.”
Officers then pull him out of the car and handcuff him. Officers noted he smelled of alcohol.
“No more games today,” one officer said while handcuffing Lynch.
Other videos show officers discussing their investigation after Lynch’s arrest.
“He did a bunch of loops through parking lots,” one officer said. “I followed all of his markings and it leads back here.”
“I’ve never seen the dude,” another officer said.
“He’s one of the toughest running backs. He runs over people,” another replied.
Digital reporter Duncan Phenix with Nexstar’s KLAS contacted the California dealership that sold the car. A person there said Lynch bought the car in December 2019. A listing for the sale said the car’s MSRP was $170,000.
Lynch is facing charges of DUI liquor and/or drugs, failure or refusal to surrender proof of insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle, and failure to drive in a travel lane.
He is due in Las Vegas Municipal Court on Dec. 7.
Lynch most recently played for the Seattle Seahawks and played for the then-Oakland Raiders for the 2017-18 season. The five-time Pro Bowler known affectionately by fans as “Beast Mode” for his ability to run over tacklers won a Super Bowl in 2014 with the Seattle Seahawks.
“Marshawn was not pulled over for a DUI,” Lynch’s attorneys Richard Schonfeld and David Chesnoff said in a statement to 8 News Now. “Rather the vehicle was safely parked and not in operation. We are confident that when all evidence is presented, this will not be a DUI under Nevada law. Marshawn appreciates and is thankful for everyone’s concern and support.” | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/video-marshawn-lynch-found-asleep-behind-wheel-car-tire-missing/ | 2022-08-12T01:59:33Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/video-marshawn-lynch-found-asleep-behind-wheel-car-tire-missing/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Governor Jay Inslee has ordered flags to half-staff August 12 in honor of Spokane Valley firefighter Dan Patterson, whose death was announced August 11. The 53-year-old went into cardiac arrest after working a 24-hour shift and did not recover.
Patterson always went for a run at the end of his shifts, and the fatal July 21 shift was no different. He called his wife near the end of his regular route, saying he was heading back Station 2 and not feeling well.
Patterson returned to the fire station and collapsed. He was taken to a nearby hospital for recovery. Nine days later on July 30, medical tests showed he was unable to recover.
He worked for SVFD since April since April 2009, even earning the Lifesaving Medal in 2014.
Inslee said he was deeply saddened by the death.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of @SpokaneValleyFD firefighter Dan Patterson. All U.S. and state flags should be lowered to half-staff tomorrow, August 12th, in his honor.

MILTON-FREEWATER, Ore. -
Severe storms hit Milton-Freewater hard overnight on August 10, knocking down trees and even power poles.
Residents of Green Acres Mobile Home Park said they won't have power for three days.
The damage to Green Acres mostly coming from limbs of unkempt trees on the property.
One resident tells me he was standing less than ten feet away from where a power pole, knocked over by the wind, fell onto a part of his home.
"My wife went into the house and then all the sudden we have a power pole there that came crashing down onto the awning and I was standing out here when it did and it scared me pretty good," resident Joe Thompson said.
One local fruit grower says apples were ripped from the limbs of his trees.
Other residents said they saw hail the size of nickels and quarters hitting the ground.
Earlier Thursday on our nonstop news channel Chief Meteorologist Monty Webb explained the weather that residents say reminded them of a hurricane.
"From what I've heard and what I've seen what happened in Milton-Freewater yesterday appears to be a classic wind damage event caused by a microburst," Webb said.
Renters tell me this isn't the first time limbs have fallen off the trees on the property causing damage, but it is one of the more severe incidents in recent memory.
"It's gonna take a while to get over this because you know not only has it affected me but it has affected many people in the park," resident Sara Thompson said. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/residents-without-power-for-three-days-after-severe-storm-in-milton-freewater/article_4b05f92c-19d1-11ed-9617-4ffa46ed1000.html | 2022-08-12T02:01:34Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/residents-without-power-for-three-days-after-severe-storm-in-milton-freewater/article_4b05f92c-19d1-11ed-9617-4ffa46ed1000.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

RICHLAND, Wash. -
United Healthcare is donating $1 million to nonprofits in underserved communities that are working with bettering students health.
CEO of United Healthcare for Washington Genevieve D. Carucho-Simpson says this donation is to help these nonprofits continue to overcome social and economic factors when provide mental health assistance to students.
"So part of this United Healthcare Empowered Health Grant is understanding of severe need," says Carucho-Simpson. "These under served communities we want to make sure we are providing additional support to make sure we are getting them the support programs they need."
National Alliance on Mental Illness in Yakima is receiving $87,500 to go to the Yakima, Wapato and Toppenish School Districts to expand their "Ending the Silence" mental health awareness program and ensure it is culturally relevant and responsive for Native Americans and Hispanic high school students on the Yakama reservation.
Richland School District is splitting a $600,000 donation with the Medical Lake School District as part of this overall donation.
RSD Communications Specialist Ty Beaver says there is no word on how much money Richland will get, but the dollar amount is going to be decided on district size.
Beaver also told me about the new nonprofit program they established last year in the RSD and said it was such a success they can't wait to bring it back this school year.
The program is called "Asking is Caring" and the Master Trainer Ted Robbins began working with the program to teach parents about how they can help their kids' mental health.
"Asking is Caring, the organization, the University of Washington and the school district reached out to me because on April 26th of 2020 my oldest son lost his battle with bipolar disorder and took his life by way of suicide," says Robbins. "So as a parent I felt like I was alone and that's what Asking is Caring is truly about."
The money going to Richland School District will help expand Asking is Caring to allow more parents to take the training in more class opportunities.
Robbins says, "For this year for suicide awareness month next month we're going to hit it really hard try to service the community and help out." | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/united-healthcare-is-donating-1-million-to-nonprofits-in-washington/article_299f0ed4-19d8-11ed-85ab-7362a03632ee.html | 2022-08-12T02:01:46Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/united-healthcare-is-donating-1-million-to-nonprofits-in-washington/article_299f0ed4-19d8-11ed-85ab-7362a03632ee.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Another labor union is bringing a U.S. federal agency through the legal process over allegations that officials restricted remote work options for employees.
A council of the American Federation of Government Employees said it will seek arbitration over the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s denial of a national remote work grievance.
According to the union’s grievance filed on June 8, management excluded broad groups of employees from remote work without “appropriate consideration of the employees’ duties, assignments, and functions” after it settled an agreement in April. The department, which employs roughly 9,600 staff members, denied the complaint, saying employees are allowed “unprecedented workplace flexibilities” and the maximum approved telework days per the Office of Personnel Management.
“When the pandemic started, our entire workforce was working at home,” said Salvatore Viola, the union Council 22 president. “They were working remotely and successfully carried on the mission of the agency.”
The bargaining unit covers about 5,000 employees.
According to union officials, while the department was rolling out a system to field applications for remote work and telework, it preemptively sent notices that certain employees were only approved for routine telework, meaning reporting to an agency office at least twice in a pay period.
An email sent by the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer announcing applications for remote work and telework said “nothing precludes employees from submitting a request for a different Flexiplace option (i.e., telework, remote work) than the one identified in the notification letter.”
Employees were then able to apply for a Flexiplace arrangement, according to the email. If employees were determined ineligible for the option they requested, they would be provided with a reason for the denial, said union officials.
“It seems to be a managerial preference,” said Ricardo Miranda, the council’s chief steward.
“As agreed to in HUD’s supplement with AFGE, eligibility for Flexiplace arrangements – including remote work, mobile work, and telework – is being determined ‘based on objective, equitable guidelines, function-based criteria, and shall not be arbitrary and capricious,’” said a HUD spokesperson in an email.
The union collected sample applications as evidence of denied requests that lacked reasoning behind the decisions, despite each application having a designated blank section to provide elaboration.
Some of the applications merely cite previous determinations from the department that a position was excluded from fully remote work. Others simply included a variation of the “Your position is not eligible for remote telework” message.
“The boilerplate exclusion of eligibility for remote work and eligibility for only routine telework without providing any reason why employees cannot work remotely failed to consider individual employee requests and the specific position, duties, and assignments of employees,” the grievance said.
Viola said exclusion from remote work fails to consider how reentry imposes commuting costs amid soaring gas prices and hardships on employees who are caregivers.
In a written response to the grievance, the agency denied the allegation, saying most employees were approved for a Flexiplace arrangement of either remote work or expanded telework based on objective, equitable guidelines, function-based criteria, and not arbitrary and capricious reasons.
Ricardo and Viola say that while they recognize a 100% remote environment for every HUD employee is unreasonable, more employees should be eligible for remote work than the agency determined. They said HUD employees are well-equipped to do so because of successful remote work during the last 26 months.
How was hiring impacted by the pandemic?
During the pandemic, HUD hired more employees than the number who retired, a first in many years.
Initially, HUD deployed mandatory telework for its employees nationwide as part of an evacuation order on March 20, 2020.
Since then, a report issued by the HUD Office of Inspector General found that “most processes were only slightly impacted or not impacted at all by mandatory telework.”
Unsurprisingly, the report found that processes dependent on physical paper records and facility access were most disrupted, though as of fiscal year 2018, 91% of HUD employees were eligible for telework participation and 82% were already teleworking.
Made possible by the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010, flexible work preceded the pandemic, said Miranda.
“With this existing telework experience and capacity in place, HUD employees are maintaining a high level of service continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the audit found. “Although employees encountered some difficulties and processes were impacted as indicated above, HUD was generally able to quickly adapt and continue performing its essential functions.”
Nevertheless, the report’s findings still allow for office reentry. It encouraged prioritizing plans for reopening offices to account for work processes that are canceled or suspended during telework.
OPM has also advised agencies to leverage telework where possible.
“Employees were able to continue to meet the challenges of their jobs head-on from locations other than their regular duty station, apart from their managers, supervisors, and colleagues,” said OPM Director Kiran Ahuja in a 2021 memo. “Agencies demonstrated that they have been able to continue to carry out their missions effectively.”
Though work flexibility appears to be greenlit at the top of government, agency implementation has not been as smooth.
“HUD management refuses to comply with the President’s agenda of working in partnership with the labor movement to bring the federal government into the 21st century,” the union said in a release. “HUD’s top leadership prefers to manage based on employee attendance in the office rather than focusing on productivity and reducing office space.”
“President Biden has claimed we’re in partnership, and that we do things as partners,” Viola said. “But in the meantime, it’s not happening.”

SPOKANE, Wash. — On Thursday morning, attorneys gave the judge opening statements for the sentencing of the Freeman High School shooter. The defense says a 20-year sentence would be appropriate due to the shooter's age and immaturity at the time of the school shooting. However, the state is asking for a minimum sentence of 35 years.
In September 2017, then 15-year-old Caleb Sharpe opened fire on his Freeman High School classmates. He killed one student and seriously injured three freshman girls.
He pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including first-degree murder and second-degree assault. The shooter's defense attorney says when determining his sentence, the judge must consider mitigating factors of youth, including his age and mental capacity.
They argue that because of the shooter's youthfulness at the time of the school shooting, he is deserving of a lesser punishment. The defense told the judge various experts and even the shooter's family will give testimony over the next several days. While the defense says Sharpe has the capacity for rehabilitation, the state argues against this.
On Thursday, the court heard from the doctor that evaluated Sharpe on behalf of the defense.
That psychiatrist says at the time of the shooting, Sharpe wasn't just immature, his mental age was more consistent with that of an 11 or 12-year-old with a learning disability.
Dr. Richard Alder said Sharpe had a handful of undiagnosed neurological and mental disorders and suffered perinatal asphyxia during birth, which is a lack of blood and airflow to an infant. He showed the court an MRI scan of the shooter's brain, which he says is abnormal compared to teens his age.
This is really what the defense has focused in on as they ask the judge for a shorter prison sentence of 20 years. They believe the court should focus on the teen's rehabilitation and that these disorders played a role in the shooting.
"He had a neurodevelopmental disorder that was undiagnosed," Alder said. "He had a learning disorder and he was not making good progress academically, which is not good for a young person. Most sanable is that he had access to guns even though adults knew that he had access to guns and it is the combination, not merely his youthfulness, it's the combination I think that taken all together that brought us here today."
Prosecutors are seeking a minimum 35-year sentence and argue that not every 15-year-old boy with a brain disorder decides to shoot their classmates. For the first time Thursday, Sharpe's mom and dad were present in court. They sat behind their son and are expected to testify next week. Sentencing continues Monday morning and is expected to wrap up next week.

I posted a summary of remarks from both the International Energy Agency (IEA) and OPEC earlier:
ICYMI - International Energy Agency raised its oil demand growth forecast for this year
Reuters have collated a couple of analyst comments on the mixed messaging. The lack of clarity looks to have locked in price volatility for now:
- "There's a great deal of uncertainty about demand in the short run. Until that settles, it (the market) will be like this for a while," said Justin Smirk, a senior economist at Westpac.
- "The net picture that the IEA painted was a mix," said Commonwealth Bank analyst Vivek Dhar. "Russian supply has been more resilient than thought." "Assessing global oil balances by the end of the year right now, given what's happening on the demand side versus what's happening on supply side - it's just complicated. That's why you have the daily volatility."

BERLIN, Md. - Hundreds of anglers and their entourage have descended on Ocean City this week to compete for over $8 million in prize money in the White Marlin Open.
With them come thousands of additional visitors to Ocean City.
"A lot of hotels are full because of the White Marlin Open, so there's lots of energy in town right now," said Susan Jones of the Ocean City Hotel, Motel, and Restaurant Association.
Ocean City businesses see an increase in business during the fishing tourney, but the positive economic effects radiate out into much of Worcester County.
Small bedroom communities like Berlin are a common destination for visitors to Ocean City, and events like the White Marlin Open also boost their local economy.
The Ocean City boardwalk can get quite busy during the Open, prompting some visitors to look to some quieter places like Berlin for a break.
"It provides a kind of escape from that hustle and bustle, especially during the White Marlin Open when it's so busy in town," said Allison Early of the Berlin Economic and Community Development Association.
Lauren, a manager at the Heart of Gold Kids store on Main Street in Berlin said that business has been busier than it's been all summer.
"It's been a very busy week for us," Lauren said. "Lots of shoppers coming in, our sales have been up, and we're really happy to see everyone here at the store."
Christine Carpenter, owner of Beach Gypsy on North Main Street, said events like the White Marlin Open are important to the success of communities like Berlin.
"It's essential. If we don't have people visiting Ocean City, we're really not going to be able to keep our business open," Carpenter said. "So, the more events they have, and the word gets out about Berlin, we just see it growing and growing in popularity."
Jill, a long-time visitor to Berlin from Selbyville, Del., said that Berlin is the busiest she's ever seen it since the White Marlin Open began earlier this week.
"Honestly, I've never seen Berlin as crowded as it is today," Jill said. "I couldn't find a parking space in any of the parking lots, and I know all the little haunts, so it's amazingly crowded today."

The Executive Secretary of Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, Rev. Dr Yakubu Pam has been awarded Peace Ambassador by the National Association of Northern Nigerian Students (NANNS). The award was presented to him in his office at the NCPC corporate headquarters in Abuja, recently.
Pam, in his address appreciated the association for considering him worthy of the award, adding that he is elated to see focused, purposeful and articulated youths coming together for a better course.
He stated that most problems of the country are the youth who have made themselves agents of negative tendencies. As such, he urged the association to fully utilise the platform to organise programmes that bring hope to the youth and the country at large.
Rev. Pam challenged youths to go on research in order to develop themselves,” The greatest knowledge you will have is not the one you learn in the classroom, but the one you discover by yourself,” he said.
He encouraged them to always do the right thing always and don’t be discouraged when their voices are not heard, adding that they will be remembered some day.”
Earlier, during the visit, the leader of the National Association of Northern Nigerian Students, Comrade Usman El-Yakub said that they were in the NCPC office to identify with the Executive Secretary and also to present an award of excellence to him, following his track records of good leadership and humanitarian services.
Comrade El-Yakub explained that the association is a non-governmental body formed by students in the North, with the aim of orientating students to disengage in negative practices like drug abuse and cultism. He further explained that they organise lectures, skill acquisition programmes, as well as partner with security agencies in order to give their contributions to the society.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of the Award of Excellence to the Executive Secretary as a token of encouragement and appreciation from the student community for his gesture to the community. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/ncpc-boss-honoured-with-peace-ambassador-award/ | 2022-08-12T02:13:54Z | tribuneonlineng.com | control | https://tribuneonlineng.com/ncpc-boss-honoured-with-peace-ambassador-award/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

As AFP reported, 28-year-old Lafayette Shon Whaley, was charged with second-degree robbery and sentenced to six years in prison. Lady Gaga's dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot as he went for a walk with the singer's two French bulldogs when multiple people approached him to take the pets forcibly. Fischer was shot during the ordeal.
The robbery, which took place on Feb. 24, 2021, sent Fischer to the hospital after suffering chest injuries and a collapsed lung, he confirmed in a post on Instagram a month after the robbery and shooting, CNN reported.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, announced a $500,000 reward after the robbery leading to the return of her two dogs.
Whaley's prison sentence came a week after an accomplice, 20-year-old Jaylin Keyshawn White, was sentenced to four years in prison. The suspected gunman,19-year-old James Howard Jackson, was also taken into custody after being mistakenly released because of a "clerical error," AFP reported.
NBC Los Angeles reported that White was arrested by the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force. A computer system was updated which incorrectly indicated his charges had been dismissed, and he was previously released in April before being rearrested.
A woman who, according to police, returned the dogs responding to the reward announcement was charged with being an accessory after the fact and for receiving stolen goods.
Police say they don't believe the thieves targeted the dogs because of their owner but because of their breed and connection to high-profile owners. | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/another-man-has-been-charged-with-the-theft-of-lady-gagas-dogs | 2022-08-12T02:14:26Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/another-man-has-been-charged-with-the-theft-of-lady-gagas-dogs | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Chicago woman offers $5K reward after dogs, car stolen in River North
CHICAGO - A woman is searching for her vehicle and two dogs after thieves climbed through her sunroof and took off in the car Thursday afternoon.
The incident occurred in the 700 block of North Wells.
At about 3 p.m., the 33-year-old woman parked her black SUV on the street and entered a store with her car running, police said.
As she was leaving the store, she observed an unknown offender entering her vehicle and fleeing northbound on Wells.

‘Rich’ people reportedly head to Applebees, IHOP during high inflation
It appears that inflation has finally hit the wealthy. A New York Post report found that rich people are feeling the pinch as they seek a spot to dine out.
Applebee’s and IHOP claim "richer" people are "trading down," to enjoy the chain’s well-known burgers and pancakes.
"Guests that often dine at more expensive restaurants are finding Applebee’s and IHOP because of their well-known value position," parent company Dine Brands chief executive John Peyton told the Post. "We perform well during tough times like this."
While this call screams "rich people, they’re just like us," Dine Brands considers their wealthier customers to be those whose income is greater than $75,000.
However, Peyton noted that people making $50,000 or less will seek out cheaper alternatives despite the well-known two-for-one deals that places like Applebee’s offer.
"We assume that they’ve left us for lower-cost options," Peyton said.
While record-breaking inflation is hitting nearly every American hard, the two fast-casual chains have responded with a variety of promotions to lure in customers despite the economic forecast.
But overall, prices at the chains have increased between 7% and 10%, the Post reported. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/rich-people-reportedly-head-to-applebees-ihop-during-high-inflation | 2022-08-12T02:16:09Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/rich-people-reportedly-head-to-applebees-ihop-during-high-inflation | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

TIJUANA (Border Report) — Magdalena’s house in Tijuana’s Colonia Libertad is nextdoor to the Salvation Army’s migrant shelter, and up until this week, she says she’d never had any issues with migrants who come and go.
She told Border Report things changed recently when some migrants learned they were eligible for parole into the U.S.
The White House recently resumed its family reunification parole programs for both Cubans and Haitians, which allow certain eligible U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to apply for parole for their family members.
If approved for parole, migrants can come to the United States ahead of their immigration court dates and even apply for work authorization while they wait to apply for lawful permanent resident status.
Magdalena says the announcement created a rush of migrants into her neighborhood, people who believe the shelter will help them launch their asylum applications.
It’s something the shelter and other service agencies in Tijuana have done in the past.
She says it’s a daily occurrence with migrants standing outside her home and along the street even though they’ve been told not to loiter.
“They’re under the idea that, ‘if we’re here they’ll have to help us,'” said Magdalena. “The problem is the trash they leave behind, they get into driveways and go to the bathroom and they’re doing things they’re not supposed to be doing … they sleep on the streets and we don’t feel safe.”
Magdalena stated Mexican immigration representatives have dropped by, but not much is done.
“Someone has to take responsibility for them, immigration should be taking care of them,” she said.
She also said she has spoken to the people who run the shelter but they tell her their hands are tied.
Banners and signs in Spanish and Creole have been placed outside the shelter telling the migrants they can’t stay in the neighborhood and that immigration services are not available.
“The banners say they can’t camp out here, they can’t remain in the area but they just ignore it,” said Magdalena, whose home is near a neighborhood corner store and across the street from a seafood restaurant. “They’ve been told clearly in their own language there’s no space for them.”
In Haiti, Creole is the principal language, although some grow up speaking French.
Magdalena claims she has approached a few of the migrants about moving on but says they pretend not to understand Spanish.
She’s also been accused of being a racist, something she denied.
“We’re not talking about racism, we’re not saying we don’t want them here, but something needs to be done,” she said.
Representatives from the shelter would not go on record to comment about the number of migrants showing up at the facility or the neighbor’s concerns.
All they would say is that they advise residents to call police if crimes are being committed.
“Officers respond but they can’t do anything, they are here to protect the public and prevent crimes, it’s not their job to get involved with immigration issues, and they say if they don’t see a crime being committed, there’s nothing they can do,” said Magdalena.
A migrant named Blacine told Border Report, she and her husband wait outside the shelter because “they have no other options.” | https://www.wwlp.com/border-report-tour/neighbors-patience-with-migrant-shelter-grows-thin/ | 2022-08-12T02:20:32Z | wwlp.com | control | https://www.wwlp.com/border-report-tour/neighbors-patience-with-migrant-shelter-grows-thin/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
BROWNSVILLE, Texas (Border Report) — When asylum-seekers were first turned away under the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” program in 2019, a group of volunteers started Team Brownsville to help those trying to immigrate to the United States.
Ever since, the nonprofit organization has worked both sides of the Rio Grande, helping asylum-seekers stranded in Mexico, and those who are legally released by the Department of Homeland Security north of border, as they make a new life in America.
Team Brownsville is a respected and well-known organization that receives donations from across the globe.
Volunteers also are credited by migrant advocates for being able to change with the times, as they have adapted to new border security policies enacted over the years, as well as the changing demographics of asylum-seekers.
Andrea Rudnik, a Team Brownsville volunteer recently told Border Report that they have seen an increase in adult migrants coming from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua this summer.
About 200 to 300 migrants predominantly from these countries are being released daily by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers near the downtown bus station in Brownsville, Texas.
Team Brownsville has special permission from federal and city officials to assist the migrants in what is called the Portillo Building, across from the bus station.
Reporters aren’t allowed inside, but that’s where volunteers provide migrants with backpacks full of toiletries, blankets, food and clothes.
They also help them to make travel arrangements, most often on buses that depart frequently from this Gulf Coast border town headed to cities north.
“We’re all about meeting the needs as people come across. We’re there,” Rudnik said.
“We also work very closely with immigration attorneys. So, people who are processed for humanitarian parole that come across, we provide whatever services they need. Sometimes the person has a disability, sometimes they have a child with special needs. So we are there to meet those needs. Sometimes we buy a stroller or a car seat or a ticket to New York. It really just depends on the person,” Rudnik said.
Rudnik said she and her team were relieved to learn earlier this week that the “Remain in Mexico” program, formally called Migrant Protection Protocols, was legally ended by a judge.
But Rudnik recognizes that the work is far from over as Texas and Missouri fight to have the policy restarted.
They also want Title 42 to be lifted. The public health mandate has been in place since 2020 to prevent the spread of coronavirus and it prevents migrants from crossing to claim asylum.
“It’s not going to change anything for the NGOs who are working here in the Valley because we have thousands of people waiting in Reynosa and Matamoros are waiting to request asylum and they’re not in MPP but they’re waiting for Title 42 to lift so that they can cross the bridge and legally request asylum,” Rudnik said.
Reynosa, a dangerous northern Mexican border town just directly south of McAllen, Texas, is where thousands of migrants, predominantly from Haiti, are waiting, Border Report has been told by several NGOs.
The migrants currently crossing from the border town of Matamoros into Brownsville who are being legally paroled into the United States as their immigration proceedings process are from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela — countries where the United States has a tough time convincing local leaders to allow the U.S. to repatriate migrants back to their homelands.
CBP reported over 207,000 encounters with migrants on the Southwest border in June, with total encounters so far this fiscal year at 1.7 million. | https://www.wwlp.com/border-report-tour/team-brownsville-volunteers-evolve-with-changing-border-policies-demographics-of-asylum-seekers/ | 2022-08-12T02:20:39Z | wwlp.com | control | https://www.wwlp.com/border-report-tour/team-brownsville-volunteers-evolve-with-changing-border-policies-demographics-of-asylum-seekers/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Report: FBI searched for classified documents on nuclear weapons at Trump residence
WASHINGTON (CNN) - The FBI was looking for classified documents related to nuclear weapons when it searched Mar-a-Lago on Monday, according to the Washington Post.
The Post reports experts in top secret information were concerned the documents, which were not well secured, could potentially fall into the wrong hands.
Documents about nuclear weapons capabilities are especially sensitive and usually highly restricted to a small number of government officials.
Details about nuclear weapons could provide foreign intelligence agencies with a road map to build ways to counter those systems.
The Post reporting does not indicate whether the FBI was able to successfully retrieve the classified documents in their search of the Palm Beach resort.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday that he “personally approved” the decision to seek a warrant for the search of Trump’s Florida home.
The Justice Department filed a request to have the search warrant of the property unsealed.
The DOJ will discuss that request with Trump Friday to determine if he opposes the release.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WuXi Advanced Therapies (WuXi ATU), a wholly owned subsidiary of WuXi AppTec, today announced a licensing agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson ("Janssen"). Under this agreement, WuXi ATU will license to Janssen its TESSA™ technology, a high-performance system that can produce 10 times more adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors than traditional AAV manufacturing systems. Janssen will also have access to work on WuXi ATU's proprietary clonal suspension HEK293 cell line. This agreement was facilitated by Johnson & Johnson Innovation.

New Delhi: Income tax payers will not be allowed to enrol in the government's social security scheme Atal Pension Yojana (APY) from October 1, according to a notification.
The government introduced APY on June 1, 2015, to provide social security to workers mainly in the unorganised sector. Subscribers of the scheme get a minimum guaranteed pension of Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000 per month after attaining 60 years of age depending on their contributions.
"... from 1st October,2022, any citizen who is or has been an income tax payer, shall not be eligible to join APY," the finance ministry said in the notification.
The ministry has modified its earlier notification on APY.
The new notification, issued on Wednesday, will not apply to subscribers who have joined or joins the scheme before October 1, 2022.
In case a subscriber, who joined on or after October 1, 2022, is subsequently found to have been an income tax payer on or before the date of application, the APY account shall be closed and the accumulated pension wealth till date would be given to the subscriber, the notification said.
Under the income tax law, people having taxable income of up to Rs 2.5 lakh are not required to pay income tax.
Currently, all Indian citizens between the age group of 18-40 years can join APY through bank or post office branches where one has the savings bank account.
The government had co-contributed 50 per cent of the total contribution or Rs 1,000 per annum, whichever is lower, to each eligible subscriber, who joined the scheme during the period from June 2015 to March 2016. It was also subject to the condition that the subscriber was not a beneficiary of any social security scheme and also not an income tax payer.
Those APY subscribers received the government's co-contribution for a five-year period from 2015-16 to 2019-20.
More than 99 lakh APY accounts were opened during the last fiscal, taking the total number of subscribers to 4.01 crore at the end of March 2022. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/india/2022/08/12/atal-pension-income-tax-october.amp.html | 2022-08-12T02:34:33Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/india/2022/08/12/atal-pension-income-tax-october.amp.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The FBI sought to locate classified documents related to nuclear weapons, among other items, when agents searched former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
The people did not offer additional details to the Post about "what type of information the agents were seeking" or whether any such documents were recovered, according to the paper.
The revelation adds key context to the Justice Department's extraordinary decision to search the home of a former president.
As CNN previously reported, the criminal investigation started with concerns about missing documents raised by the National Archives, which made a criminal referral to the Justice Department upon discovering highly sensitive documents among the materials retrieved from Mar-a-Lago in January. The 15 boxes contained some materials that were part of special access programs (SAP), a classification that includes protocols to significantly limit who would have access to the information, according to a source familiar with what the Archives discovered in the boxes. That led to FBI interviews with aides to grand jury subpoenas to this week's court-authorized search and seizure of documents.
Though Attorney General Merrick Garland has declined to share specific details about the search, he said Thursday that he "personally approved" the decision to seek a warrant for the search of Trump's Florida home.
"The department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken," Garland said in a news conference.
The attorney general also said that the Justice Department had filed a request in court that the search warrant and property receipt from the search be unsealed.
Trump and his legal team have not yet reached a decision on how to respond to the Justice Department's motion, a source familiar with their thinking told CNN.
Since the search, top congressional Republicans have rushed to Trump's defense, casting the move as politically motivated. The former President has denied all wrongdoing, claiming the investigation is intended to derail his potential bid to return to the White House.
In a pair of posts to Truth Social following Garland's statement, Trump continued to claim that his attorneys were "cooperating fully" and had developed "very good relationships" with federal investigators prior to Monday's search at Mar-a-Lago.
The search warrant had been authorized by a federal court, Garland said.
"It is a federal crime to remove classified documents wrongly. And so if you are filling out that affidavit and you have to list the crime, you can list that as the crime," said Elie Honig, a former federal and state prosecutor and a CNN senior legal analyst, following the search warrant.

(NewsNation) — Donald Trump’s lawyer says “it doesn’t appear” they would object to releasing the search warrant that prompted Monday’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home.
The Department of Justice has moved to unseal the warrant linked to the Mar-a-Lago search. Former President Trump’s legal team has until 3 p.m. ET Friday to respond. They can either object to the release of the search warrant or agree to it.
If they agree, the world would see what the government is seeking in their search warrant and what FBI agents took from Mar-a-Lago.
The former president’s attorney, Christina Bobb, was at Mar-a-Lago during the search. She joined “On Balance with Leland Vittert” on Thursday night and said if offered optimism they would give the green light, but would not commit.
“It doesn’t appear at this time like we would object, but the court has ordered the Department of Justice to coordinate with us and to work on how that release would take place and what that would look like. Our team has responded. We have reached out to the Department of Justice to coordinate that and have not been able to make contact,” Trump’s attorney Christina Bobb said.
She added: “We’re waiting to hear back from them. We’re very eager. We know that people want information, and we’re eager to respond as best as possible in coordination with the Department of Justice so we’re just waiting to hear back from them.”
Near the end of Leland Vittet’s interview with Bobb, she expressed that she was not sure if they would support releasing the affidavit.
Sources confirmed to NewsNation the execution of the search warrant is linked to an investigation into whether or not the former president mishandled presidential records related to the discovery of boxes full of White House records that were taken to Mar-a-Lago after Trump left office.
Trump maintains that the search was neither necessary nor appropriate, calling it “prosecutorial misconduct.”
The search of a former president’s home is unprecedented, which presents the question of how presidential records are handled.
The Presidential Records Act from 1978 establishes public ownership of all presidential records and developed a way presidents must manage their records.
Under the act, the president is responsible for the management and keeping of presidential records and must separate personal records.
The act allows the president to get rid of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational or evidentiary value but only after the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal have been made available in writing.
Once a president leaves office, the law requires presidential records to be automatically transferred into the legal custody of the archivist. This applies to the records of all presidents and vice presidents and began with the Reagan Administration.
House Republicans believe the enforcement of the Presidential Records Act under Trump differs from previous presidents. In response to the Mar-a-Lago search, Republicans with the Oversight and Reform Committee asked for all documents and communications between any employee or agent of National Archives and Records Administration, the FBI or Department of Justice and the Offices of the United States Attorneys regarding Trump.
The committee is also looking for all communication between NARA employees about documents Trump possesses, all documents submitted to a U.S. federal district court or magistrate or judge, and all documents that illustrate the process of how NARA collects documents during a presidential transition.
A judge reportedly signed off on the FBI’s search warrant for Mar-a-Lago last week, but investigators did not take at least 12 boxes from the resort until Monday when Trump was in New York.
Trump says the search was a “surprise attack” and claimed that his team had been cooperating with the Department of Justice since June.
During a pending investigation, documents typically remain sealed, but the Department of Justice requested to have the warrant unsealed due to the public’s clear and powerful interest. | https://www.wspa.com/news/politics/trumps-lawyer-doesnt-appear-we-will-reject-warrant-release/ | 2022-08-12T02:54:38Z | wspa.com | control | https://www.wspa.com/news/politics/trumps-lawyer-doesnt-appear-we-will-reject-warrant-release/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents were looking for classified documents related to nuclear weapons when they executed a search warrant on Monday at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
As the Washington Post reported, citing unnamed sources that the outlet said were familiar with the FBI's search, the documents were sought to keep the classified material from getting into the wrong hands. Officials were said to be "deeply concerned" that the classified documents could be used improperly and were believed to be stored at Trump's estate in Palm Beach.
The report didn't detail what exactly was contained in the documents or if they were connected to information on nuclear weapons in the United States or another country.
On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is working on getting the search warrant served against former President Trump unsealed to try and quash any potential conspiracy theories about the matter.
According to reports, the DOJ has until 3 p.m. ET on Friday to report to a judge on whether Trump would like to contest the unsealing of the warrant. | https://www.katc.com/news/national/federal-agents-were-after-documents-on-nuclear-weapons-in-search-of-trumps-mar-a-lago-estate-report-said | 2022-08-12T02:59:40Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/national/federal-agents-were-after-documents-on-nuclear-weapons-in-search-of-trumps-mar-a-lago-estate-report-said | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Like so many educators, Kaley McKee’s face lights up as soon as she starts talking about her students. She’s a first-grade teacher at Akron, Ohio’s Firestone Park Elementary, and has been teaching for nine years.
She says, making her classroom a warm, welcoming place is always a priority.
“It makes them want to be there, makes them feel safe, kind of builds a little community with us as we decorate our classroom together,” McKee said.
That all costs money. It should be no secret that teachers aren’t making big bucks.
“Barely enough. I’ve always held a second job, I’ve always held a serving job,” she said.
So a few years ago, McKee jumped on the Amazon Wishlist wagon for help stocking her classroom.
You may have seen the hashtag #ClearTheList shared on social media — friends, family, strangers, and even celebrities buying bits and pieces for teachers from an Amazon shopping wishlist delivered right to their door.
Things that need to be restocked all year long like paper, pencils, and glue sticks.
Plus, snacks, snacks, and more snacks.
“Snacks are a big part of my wish list because I feed them snacks every day, just in case. Just in case they didn’t get that morning meal,” she said.
And then, things you might not always think teachers provide for students.
“Gloves and hats and mittens, I buy those in the wintertime for kids. Book bags, school boxes,” McKee said, remembering how one student’s siblings came to her classroom asking if they could also have warm winter clothes to wear.
Nonprofit AdoptAClassroom.org surveyed nearly 5,500 teachers and found that they spend an average of $750 of their own money on their classrooms.
The website lets family, friends, strangers donate to teachers to help with some of that burden.
“When teachers receive a donation on AdoptAClassroom.org, they feel like their community values them, their profession is respected and that people see all that they’re doing for their kids,” said Devon Karbowski at AdoptAClassroom.org.
Randi Weingarten is the president of the American Federation of Teachers, the largest teachers union in America.
“It is who teachers are, and it is what they do to make a difference in the lives of kids,” Weingarten said.
She said school systems should be providing necessary supplies but is grateful teachers can use sites like Amazon wishlists, AdoptAClassroom.org, and DonorChoose to get them help.
“There’s no other job that presumes that the employee is actually gonna subsidize the job and teachers do it just out of routine,” Weingarten said.
So far, for the upcoming school year, McKee has had 50 things purchased off her Amazon wishlist.. everything from snacks and scoop seats to posters, pencils, and even diverse dolls.
“A lot of my students are African American, and I noticed that all my hand-me-down Barbies were not, so I was able to get some more diverse because Barbies are the girls” favorite,” McKee said.
Half of the items are bought by family and friends who see McKee’s posts on Facebook or social media — the rest are from local businesses or even total strangers who want to stay anonymous.

(The Hill) — Records the FBI searched for at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property included classified documents related to nuclear weapons, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Sources familiar with the investigation told the Post that those documents were among those the FBI sought on Monday, when the bureau executed a search warrant at Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla., residence.
The sources did not say if the nuclear weapons discussed in the documents belonged to the United States or if these documents were recovered.
The FBI and a spokesperson for Trump did not immediately return requests from The Hill for comment.
The Post’s reporting comes after the Justice Department (DOJ) filed a motion on Thursday to request that a Florida court unseal the search warrant executed by the FBI.
“The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of unsealing,” DOJ lawyers wrote in the court filing submitted Thursday afternoon.
Several media organizations filed a motion the same day to further request that all documents related to the search warrant be made public.
The DOJ’s motion states that Trump’s attorneys received a list of the documents that the FBI recovered. However, they have not released them publicly.
Trump’s lawyer, Christina Bobb, said in media appearances this week that the search concerned potentially classified information kept at Mar-a-Lago.
The National Archives and Records Administration reportedly recovered 15 boxes of presidential records from Mar-a-Lago earlier this year, including some containing classified information. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/wapo-fbi-looked-for-documents-related-to-nuclear-weapons-at-trumps-mar-a-lago/ | 2022-08-12T03:02:06Z | siouxlandproud.com | control | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/wapo-fbi-looked-for-documents-related-to-nuclear-weapons-at-trumps-mar-a-lago/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
BGPD discusses internet etiquette amid back to school
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - The PEW Research Center found that in 2021, 72% of Americans used social media, with use of all major social media sites rising during the pandemic.
As use of the sites becomes more popular, so does oversharing. Meaning those back to school photos, could have some unintended consequences.
“If you share information about your child, and it shows what school that they go to, that does create some inherent danger,” said the Bowling Green Police Department’s Public Information Officer, Ronnie Ward.
Ward isn’t telling parents not to share information online, but simply to be careful what they do share.
“Make it very generic,” Ward said, “You can turn off your location services with pictures so that people can’t tell where you took that picture from.”
Likewise, Ward also warns of giving children unfettered internet access.
“None of us would go on vacation and leave our front door open. If you take your child, hand them an electronic device, put them in a room, and shut the door, essentially it’s doing the same thing. You’re allowing your child ultimate access to the entire world, basically in their hand.”
Ward advises parents to be vigilant of what their children are doing on their devices, as well talk to them about proper internet etiquette.
“We all want to be vigilant about knowing who they’re talking to, what they’re talking about, and making sure that they’re not talking to people you don’t know. Even if it says that this person is the same age as your child, but you don’t know them, I wouldn’t trust that at all.”
While there hasn’t been any incident recently of using social media to stalk others, Ward stands that parents should remain cautious of their children’s internet usage.
“I think they need to be worried about it, I think they need to be concerned about it. I think you should continually monitor your son or daughter’s social media accounts and their electronic devices.”
More information on internet safety for children can be found here.

A New Hampshire school bus driver was arrested and federally charged with interstate stalking, after he allegedly stalked and threatened an eight-year-old boy whom he regularly drove to school, according to a statement from the US Attorney's Office in New Hampshire.
Michael Chick, 39, of Eliot, Maine, is also being accused of threatening the child's family and traveling across state lines to make the alleged threats, according to the statement.
The boy's family alleges that Chick gave their son two Tracfone cell phones, according to court documents obtained by CNN. Chick later admitted to providing the child with three phones, documents show. Chick also allegedly requested that the boy take inappropriate pictures of himself and send the photos to him, documents show.
During a police investigation, Chick told officers that he placed cellular GPS tracking devices on each of the child's parents' vehicles, documents show. Chick also told police he visited the child's "residence between 6 -- 10 times during the night just to walk around the house," court documents show, citing the police investigation.
On August 5, the day of Chick's arrest, the child provided his family with additional details on Chick's alleged behavior toward him, court records show. In an interview with police that day, the boy claimed Chick talked with him about an organization called "The Team," documents show. The boy said Chick told him "The Team" would kidnap and torture the child if he did not meet their demands, according to the documents.
The parents first alerted their son's school, Greenland Central School, in April about alleged comments and actions from Chick, including giving small gifts and candy to children and leaving get-well cards saying how much he missed them when they were absent, documents show.
CNN has reached out to the office of the superintendent of the Portsmouth School District for comment.
A spokesperson for the bus company First Student told CNN on Friday that Chick is no longer employed there. In a statement, the bus company said, "Behavior such as this is completely unacceptable and at odds with what we stand for as a company." It added, "We are cooperating with the authorities and given that this is an active investigation, we are unable to comment further."

The Sheriff of Dade County witnessed a bus load of illegal immigrants being dropped off against their will at a rural gas station in Rising Fawn Wednesday.
Sheriff Ray Cross says they were meant to be taken from Texas to Washington DC and he believes the bus driver was encouraging the immigrants to get off the bus on the way.
"They were telling us the bus driver was encouraging them to get off here, and that it wasn't far from Chattanooga," said Sheriff Cross.
It was the Pilot gas station in Rising Fawn where immigrants were dropped off and told by the driver Chattanooga was within walking distance away, when in reality its about a ten hour walk.
Sheriff Cross says when he talked with the immigrates they didn't know why they were being dropped off and says they would have been stuck there in Rising Fawn with nowhere to go and no resources.
"I said that's like 20 miles away, I said do you want to get back on the bus and go to Chattanooga. They said yes that's where we want to go is Chattanooga, through the translator, so they did agree to get back on the bus," said Sheriff Cross.
Sheriff Cross says the bus load of immigrants he found were supposed to be taken to Washington DC, with Chattanooga being a destination on the way.
When he spoke with the bus driver, he said he was filling up gas in Rising Fawn and he could not legally stop the immigrants from getting off the bus.
"I'm sure this isn't the only small town this is happening at, if they shut that border down and do what they are supposed to do, this wouldn't be happening," said Sheriff Cross.
Sheriff Cross says he contacted the Immigration and Naturalization Service who told him their hands are tied.
Cross blames the bus line for not handling the situation responsibly and also the federal government. He says his county can't throw them in jail and the government needs to do something to keep immigrants from migrating into rural towns.
"Its definitely small town are becoming collateral damage based off the policy that is happening at the border," said Sergeant Chad Payne, with Dade County Sheriff's Office.
We did reach out to the Coastal Crew Company who own the bus line to hear their side of the story but they refused to comment. | https://www.local3news.com/sheriff-stops-illegal-immigrants-from-being-dropped-off-in-dade-county/article_151db0b2-19df-11ed-9447-2faba5761063.html | 2022-08-12T03:07:00Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/sheriff-stops-illegal-immigrants-from-being-dropped-off-in-dade-county/article_151db0b2-19df-11ed-9447-2faba5761063.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability (TCAD) has announced the allocation of one million dollars in senior center grants.
Over one hundred senior centers in 89 Tennessee counties have been individually awarded several thousand dollars in grants, including multiple in the area.
Bledsoe County Senior Citizens Center, Bradley County Committee on Aging, McMinn Senior Activity Center, and many other local centers will be receiving $8,000 in grants from the Tennessee General Assembly.
According to grant applications, the funds will allow centers to complete ongoing projects as well as contribute to operating and administrative maintenance costs.
“This funding is vital for the health and well-being of older adults across Tennessee, as senior centers provide access to an array of opportunities to stay safe, active, and healthy,” said James Dunn, TCAD Executive Director. “We presented the impact made last year with these grants to the Tennessee General Assembly, and I’m grateful they gave us more funding this year to have an even greater effect on the lives of aging Tennesseans.”

Every investor knows that the path toward profits lies in buying low and selling high. That’s a basic precept of any economic trading system. The trick, however, is recognizing when the stock is low enough to buy in. The prime moment to buy is when the stock hits bottom; that will maximize returns when the share price starts to rise again.
There are a multitude of possible clues investors can use to find the price bottom; today, we’ll be looking at insider buying trends.
Insiders – the corporate officers, board members, and others ‘in the know’ – don’t just manage the companies, they know the details. Legally, they are not supposed to trade that knowledge, or to blatantly trade on it, and disclosure rules by government regulators help to keep the insiders honest. Their honest stock transactions, however, can be highly informative. These are the people with the deepest knowledge of particular stocks. So, when they buy or sell, especially in bulk, take note.
In this case, we’ve used the TipRanks Insiders’ Hot Stocks tool to find two stocks whose price has dropped significantly this year – and that drop has coincided with some ‘informative buy’ insider trades. Let’s take a closer look.
Match Group (MTCH)
We’ll start with Match Group, a holding company in the online dating world. Match Group owns and operates an array of dating sites, and its portfolio includes field leaders such as Tinder, OKCupid, and Plenty of Fish. Match Group introduced the ‘swipe’ feature in mobile dating apps, and offers its online products worldwide, in over 40 languages, for all demographics. Match Group’s Tinder brand is the web’s most downloaded dating app, and the top grossing dating app in the world.
Turning to Match Group’s financial performance, we find that the company saw its revenue and earnings slip from Q1 of this year into Q2 – although the top line remains elevated year-over-year. At $795 million, total revenues were up 12% year-over-year, but the company saw a net loss of $10 million, or 11 cents per share, due to a one-time charge related to last year’s acquisition of South Korea’s Hyperconnect.
That acquisition, which was Match’s largest ever, brought the Azar and Hakuna brands into Match’s universe, and cost the holding company $1.725 billion. The transaction was conducted half in cash and half in stock.
In another major payment, that negatively impacted Match Group’s cash flow during Q2, the company in December settled long litigation with the founders of Tinder. Match Group paid out $441 million, and effectively ended the suit before the jury could take up deliberations. In addition to the settlement of the lawsuit, Tinder’s CEO stepped down last week, and the brand’s upper management is in flux. Match Group hopes that, with new leadership at the top levels, Tinder can return to its position as the company’s revenue driver.
While Match Group has successfully expanded its reach in the online dating niche, the shares are down 50% so far this year. At the same time, Match Group CEO Jin Kim has not been deterred from buying big on MTCH.
Last week, Kim bought 16,000 shares of MTCH, paying out a total of $1.02 million for the stock. His total stake in the company is now valued near $1.16 million. Kim took the helm of Match Group at the end of May this year.
Looking to the future, Piper Sandler analyst Matt Farrell writes: “We continue to like this name given that online dating isn’t going away, and this is the name to own in the space. Tinder is still the most downloaded dating app in the world.”
To this end, Farrell rates MTCH an Overweight (i.e. Buy), and his price target, at $80, suggests the shares have ~21% upside potential for the coming year. (To watch Farrell’s track record, click here)
Wall Street, generally, seems upbeat about Match’s prospects. The stock has 17 recent analyst reviews, which break down to 14 Buys and 3 Holds, for a Strong Buy consensus rating. The shares are trading for $66.27 and their $83.56 average price target implies a 12-month upside of 26%. (See MTCH stock forecast on TipRanks)
PROG Holdings (PRG)
The next stock we’ll look at is PROG Holdings, an interesting firm in the rent-to-own sector. PROG has three business segments, including Progressive Lending, a lease-to-own purchase option product for low-end retail customers seeking to buy appliances, electronics, mobile connected devices, and more; Vive Financial, a financing service for customers who do not quality for prime lending; and Four Technologies, PROG’s fintech payment platform that includes buy-now/pay-later functionality.
At the end of last month, PROG made two important business announcements. The first concerned the financial results for 2Q22. These presented a mix of positives and negatives. At the top line, revenues were down slightly year-over-year, falling ~2% to $649.4 million. At the same time, the company’s non-GAAP diluted EPS of 52 cents beat the 46-cent forecast by a 13% margin.
The second business announcement regards an agreement with Samsung. PROG Holdings’ Progressive Leasing segment, which includes app-based and in-store lease-to-own solutions, has been selected as the exclusive lease-to-own service provider for Samsung.com.
Overall, PROG shares are down 54% year-to-date. The drop, however, has not discouraged Curtis Linn Doman, from the company’s Board of Directors, from increasing his holding.
On August 3, Doman bought 50,000 PRG shares, paying $962,500. Doman now holds shares in the company worth a total of $5.52 million. His purchase was the largest of several insider buys last week, which included two in the $20K to $40K range, as well as $283K worth of purchases by the company’s CEO.
Turning to the analyst commentary, we’ll check in with Jefferies analyst Kyle Joseph, who writes, “A perfect storm of macro factors; hard to envision a more challenging near-term backdrop for VLTO [virtual lease-to-own]. Elevated inflation is weighing on discretionary demand, particularly for low-end consumers, while simultaneously weighing on credit performance as rising gas, food and housing costs disproportionately impact PRG’s customers.”
“While PRG has historically been a relatively defensive name, it is beholden to the underwriting decisions of traditional providers of credit higher up the POS finance waterfall…. At the same time, as retailers struggle in a more volatile backdrop, adding the VLTO alternative to their suite of POS financing alternatives becomes more enticing. So we see the near-term operating environment as challenging for PRG and the entire VLTO space. Longer-term, we still see value in shares,” Joseph continued.
Along with these comments, Joseph gives PRG a Buy rating, and his $36 price target implies a one-year gain of 71% for the shares. (To watch Joseph’s track record, click here)
This stock has attracted a modest amount of analyst attention – a total of 3 analyst reviews, including 2 to Buy and 1 to Hold, for a Moderate Buy consensus. The stock’s average price target is $36, matching Joseph’s above, and indicating a 75% upside from the current trading price of $20.53. (See PRG stock forecast on TipRanks)

North Carolina Museum of Art and Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art Announce Two New Curators
(Winston-Salem, NC) – The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) announces two new hires, for both the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) in Raleigh, NC, and SECCA, an affiliate of the NCMA.
Jared Ledesma joins the team as curator of 20th-century art and contemporary art. He will work closely with Chief Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art Linda Dougherty to strengthen the NCMA's 20th-century and contemporary art program across the People's Collection, exhibitions, and outdoor projects in the Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park. Maya Brooks was promoted to assistant curator of contemporary art; this new position builds on her past two years of experience as the Mellon Foundation Assistant Curator at the NCMA. Together these positions will also oversee the exhibition program for SECCA.
"I'm excited for Jared and Maya to share their expertise across the state of North Carolina, helping us shed light on new narratives and engage voices across cultures, lived experiences, and perspectives," said NCMA Director Valerie Hillings. "They both value local artists and showcasing our state's creative communities, an area of importance for the NCMA and SECCA."
These positions are part of a curatorial team of 10 responsible for building, researching, presenting, and publishing on the People's Collection, organizing and coordinating exhibitions, and participating in a wide range of educational and community programs across both museums.
"As curators who are focused on storytelling, inclusivity, and support for living artists, Jared and Maya are a perfect fit for our shared mission and goals," said SECCA Director Bill Carpenter. "I believe our members and visitors will appreciate their energy, kindness, and depth of knowledge, and our community will gain truly collaborative partners within the creative economy."
Ledesma comes to the NCMA from the Akron Art Museum, where he led its curatorial department as senior curator, and the Des Moines Art Center, where he oversaw acquisitions by Edie Fake, Louis Fratino, Zoe Leonard, Alfredo Ramos Martinez, Carrie Moyer, Catherine Opie, Sheila Pepe, and Hedda Sterne as an associate curator. While there, he also organized exhibitions including Manos: Latin American Art from the Des Moines Art Center's Collections, Between Vertical and the Horizon: Japanese Works on Paper, Queer Abstraction, and I, too, am America. Prior to this role, Ledesma held curatorial and administrative positions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Richmond Art Center in Richmond, CA. He has a BA and an MA in art history from San Francisco State University.
"Over the past 10 years, I have built a career at institutions that vary by size, scope, collection, and the publics they serve. In my work I pursue the elevation of all artistic voices and aim to uncover lesser-known narratives, stemming from my identity as a member of the LGBTQ and Latinx communities," said Ledesma. "I am thrilled to apply this perspective toward creating inviting art exhibitions and programming at the NCMA, shaping its internationally renowned People's Collection, and furthering the bold exhibition history of SECCA."
During her tenure as Mellon Foundation Assistant Curator, Maya Brooks served as lead curator for NCMA exhibitions including To Be Young: Coming of Age in the Contemporary and The Altered Environment, and played an assisting role in NC Artist Connections: The Beautiful Project, Stephen Hayes, and Hồng-Ân Trương and Fault Lines: Art and the Environment. Brooks received her BA in anthropology with an art history minor at UNC–Chapel Hill in 2018 before completing her MA in history at UNC Greensboro in 2020.
The NCMA's growing contemporary collection includes works by national and international artists such as El Anatsui, Yoan Capote, Leonardo Drew, Jeppe Hein, William Kentridge, Yayoi Kusama, Simone Leigh, Hung Liu, Hugo McCloud, Roxy Paine, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Yinka Shonibare, Elias Sime, Hank Willis Thomas, Mickalene Thomas, Marie Watt, and Kehinde Wiley. The NCMA regularly presents modern and contemporary art exhibitions, with recent shows featuring Wim Botha, Leonardo Drew, Heather Hart, Stephen Hayes, Candida Höfer, Frida Kahlo, Moataz Nasr, Georgia O'Keeffe, Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, and Lina Iris Viktor.
A noncollecting center for contemporary art in Winston-Salem, NC, and since 2007 a partner institution of the NCMA, SECCA has a distinguished history of originating and presenting exhibitions and projects featuring local, regional, national, and international contemporary artists, most recently including Elizabeth Alexander, Lonnie Holley, Jillian Mayer, Babette Shaw, and Freeman Vines. An ongoing series Southern Idiom highlights the work of local artists.

Opening Reception: August 11, 2022 5:30-8:00pm
Ending Exhibition Date: Early September 2022
152 Sunset Avenue. Asheboro, NC 27203
– Asheboro native and founder of Mightier Than The Sword Records, Photography & Literature/Heart’s Core Art Store, Tyler "Ty Bru" Brueilly has compiled another strong body of work for his second complete exhibition this summer.
“I’ve been super heavy on the gas pedal this year, it’s been a non-stop creative, performance and exhibition whirlwind since my wife and I found out we are expecting our second child…artistically lot of my bucket list items were very well within reach, so with the help of my wife’s motivation and some awesome people and businesses in downtown Asheboro such as Lumina Wine & Beer, The Exchange, Randolph Arts Guild and Cantina Taco Loco we’ve been able to really submerge the city with my various artworks and artforms.”
Brueilly moved to China fresh out of Appalachian State University back in 2005, but had studied abroad for a semester in 2004. “I fell in love and fell hard, and that love was intense and lasted for over a decade, and half of that time I actually lived, worked, performed and created there” Brueilly continues, “I always took photos when I traveled, but it wasn’t really until 2012 where I took it seriously, and I was fortunate enough to be right in the middle of some of the most ancient and beautiful scenery in the entire world, and I certainly took advantage of every minute I was there.”
When it comes to ‘EASTERN ENCHANTMENT’ most of the visuals come from Brueilly’s favorite city in China, Suzhou. “Part of my heart remains in Suzhou, even though I lived there for only about a year of the five years, it’s where my love for China started, so I made sure most of this exhibition comes from that city, which was coined the Venice of the East, for its canals.”
EASTERN ENCHANTMENT includes 25 pieces from his recent ‘Gripping Adoornments’ that are placed in a way to simulate a door. There is one piece from his ’12 of 12’ series of 2012 while the remaining 12 pieces of the exhibition have never been publicly displayed before. All pieces will be displayed at Lumina Wine & Beer until early September and all are available for purchase. | https://www.yesweekly.com/thearts/ty-brueilly-to-exhibit-visual-art-photography-series-from-his-time-in-china/article_3021c522-1991-11ed-910a-67eda3517e4e.html | 2022-08-12T03:22:28Z | yesweekly.com | control | https://www.yesweekly.com/thearts/ty-brueilly-to-exhibit-visual-art-photography-series-from-his-time-in-china/article_3021c522-1991-11ed-910a-67eda3517e4e.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Visit High Point promotes Christina Payne to Director of Business Development
Payne’s responsibilities will expand to focus on High Point residents, visitors, and designers alike
HIGH POINT, N.C. (August 11, 2022) — After six years with the organization, Christina Payne has been promoted to the position of Visit High Point Director of Business Development. Previously serving as the business development manager, Payne was the face of the Visit High Point concierge services, which delivers complimentary planning to consumers and designers who want to maximize their time and productivity shopping in the Home Furnishings Capital of the WorldTM. Her responsibilities have previously centered around broadening direct business opportunities in the home furnishings industry.
In her new role, Payne will continue using her skillset in guest services and knowledge of the home furnishings industry to lead strategic initiatives to strengthen the home furnishings and design brand in High Point.
“Destination marketing organizations have traditionally delivered programming and services directly to the consumer experience,” says Melody Burnett, Visit High Point President. “Visit High Point is comfortable playing in that space. However, to realize High Point’s full potential as a year-round design destination, we must lean outside of our comfort zone to position our city to the trade businesses in the home furnishings industry that are conditioned to attend the twice-a-year High Point Market and to those who have yet to discover the High Point experience.”
Payne’s increased responsibilities will encompass making High Point a year-round destination for designers & other visitors, maximizing opportunities in the home furnishing industry outside of the twice-annual High Point Furniture Market, and building a network of trusted businesses and programs that can deliver on High Point’s legacy brand promise as the home furnishings capital. “Partnering with HPxD and the High Point Market is foundational, yet Christina brings the critical services component to help us deliver on High Point’s brand promise as a desirable home furnishings and design destination,” continued Burnett.
Payne will continue managing operations and programming of the Regional Visitors Center, which hosts 21 galleries and specialized tools that cater to the visitor and shopping experience. She will also play a key role in developing Visit High Point’s Partner of Excellence Program, which promotes exceptional visitor-facing businesses that deliver quality services and products to outside visitors.
According to Burnett, the Partner of Excellence program is critical to economic developers and meeting planners who rely on this listing to present to their customers as the good housekeeping seal of services and products in High Point. “Payne manages our tools, services and programs that make connecting to our home furnishings and design offerings easy and furthermore is also an added value that our locals can take advantage of right here at home,” added Burnett.

The Fonz was fishing in Idaho when he heard the news. Potsie Weber was thinking about running for mayor of Ojai. You’ve got my vote, Henry Winkler told him. Good luck.
Richie Cunningham heard the news on social media and let his pal from “Happy Days” know he was in his corner. Whatever you need, Ron Howard said. Just let him know. Donny Most, Ralph on the show, chimed in, too. Go for it, he said.
It’s been almost 40 years since they were the stars of one of the most popular shows on TV, and when it ended in 1984 after a 10-year run, they made a pact to stay close and be there for one another.
And now, Williams, 72, — lovably naïve Potsie Weber, Richie’s best friend on the show — was doing just that. He crossed out the last name on the list of the people he loved and trusted for advice, and walked over to City Hall to throw his hat in the ring. He signed the papers two weeks ago. It was official, he was running for mayor of Ojai.
Williams has been living in this quaint town of 7,637 residents (2020 U.S. Census) in Ventura County for almost four years now — escaping the big city and all the personal and professional upheaval he was going through after being diagnosed with colon cancer, which he says he’s beating.
“I was in a bad, broken place, and this little community wrapped it arms around me,” Williams said when we talked this week. Now, he wants to wrap his arms around Ojai. Pay it back.
Picture Mayberry, he says, only with 900,000 tourists a year stopping by the sheriff’s office to see Andy and Opie. It can get a little crowded in Ojai, and overwhelming, he says. Unsustainable tourism, he calls it.
That’s a key phrase in his campaign. How much is enough? When does tourism overwhelm a community depending on tourism dollars to pay the water bills and protect it from fire during the hot, summer months? How do you do that and also protect the quality of life for the people who live there?
He thinks he has the answers, but so does the current mayor, teacher Betsy Stix. That’s the first rule of running for political office. Vote for me, I have the answers. The second rule is a little trickier. You have to convince the voters of that.
Williams is not quite sure yet if that little bit of fame he carries around with him is a help or hindrance.
“You get people you’ve never met and don’t know you, but have already defined you,” he says. “They think you’re Hollywood, and you have to convince them you’re not. It’s going to take a lot of work, but I’m looking forward to it.
“I tell them I’m 5’10, weigh 168 pounds, I’m a Democrat, and I’ve never lived in Hollywood,” he laughs. His resume since “Happy Days” includes acting, directing, business ventures and being an outspoken proponent of an eco-friendly lifestyle.
To most people, though, he’ll always be Potsie from 1957.
“‘Happy Days’ is a show that keeps getting generations of new fans, so I do get recognized,” he says. “The show never gets old because it’s always been old. We went on the air in 1974, but were set in the 1950s.”
He credits Garry Marshall, the creator and executive director of “Happy Days” and a string of many successful TV shows, for taking a cast of young actors still wet behind the ears, and giving them sound advice.
“He always told us to give before you get, and to use our platform for the greater good,” Williams says. “And, I think we have, especially Ron (Howard), who inspires me everyday.”
Williams isn’t doing too bad with his platform, either. He used it to introduce the world to his uncle’s life-saving Heimlich maneuver, and wrote and directed movies about the Americans with Disabilities Act, and organ donation.
His next role is to convince the registered voters of Ojai that he isn’t Hollywood. That he’s just a guy who was in a bad, broken place when he moved here full time almost four years ago, and the town put its arms around him.

LOS ANGELES ― Miguel Vargas’ parents were able to attend their son’s major league debut in person in San Francisco, as well as the ensuing home games at Dodger Stadium earlier this month. When his father, Lazaro, spoke to Dodgers special assistant Jose Vizcaino afterward, he was beaming about his son’s first hit.
Why? Giants pitcher Alex Cobb had thrown Vargas a sinker over the plate, and Vargas hit a line drive to the opposite field. That reminded the elder Vargas of his own approach as a hitter.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was a bit less specific in his praise.
“The main thing (Vargas) showed, and I told him this the other day, is he showed himself and us that he can hit in the major leagues,” Roberts said. “There were some big spots, going deep in counts. Even the first base hit he got – the double, a heater up, top of the zone, off Cobb – was a really good at-bat. Runners in scoring situations. Just how we handle the preparation.
“For a young player to come in here essentially in a pennant race, to handle himself like that, is telling.”
For the Dodgers, seeing a minor leaguer make such a fast impression has almost become commonplace. Vargas, James Outman, and Jake Lamb – a veteran who was subsequently traded at the Aug. 2 deadline – all needed little time after being called up to acclimate to major league pitching.
Outfielders Trayce Thompson and Joey Gallo were not midseason call-ups, but each made a similar impression within their first week of being acquired in separate trades.
The net result? The Dodgers already feel better about their bench heading into the postseason than they did this time a year ago.
“Not to take away anything from anyone we had, but if you look at the options on the position-player side, the pitching side as far as the ’pen, the floor has been raised considerably,” Roberts said. “Right now, Miggy’s not on the (26-man) roster, but knowing we have someone like that if we need someone to pull from, is encouraging for all of us.”
The 2021 postseason was a battle of attrition. By the time they were eliminated by the Atlanta Braves in last year’s National League Championship Series, the Dodgers had lost their starting corner infielders (Justin Turner and Max Muncy) to injuries. And starting pitcher Max Scherzer was scratched from his scheduled Game 6 start due to arm soreness.
The domino effect was conspicuous. Matt Beaty and Albert Pujols were left to share the first-base duties. Andy Burns, a journeyman with all of 19 major league games to his credit, took a critical at-bat in the elimination game. Another veteran, Steven Souza Jr. – who has since retired – batted in nine of the Dodgers’ 15 playoff games.
Arguably no area of the Dodgers’ arsenal has improved more in the last year than their bench.
Thompson has an .889 OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) in 36 games since he was acquired from the Detroit Tigers. Among the Dodgers’ regulars, only Freddie Freeman has a higher OPS. Gallo hit a critical three-run home run Wednesday; he hit 12 in 82 games with the New York Yankees. Vargas and Outman only played six games between them before being sent down, but they racked up eight hits, including four for extra bases.
It’s fair to question how much this all matters.
Was the 2021 season just an unusually bad year for injuries, or baseball’s new normal? Could the effect of a lockout-shortened spring training in 2022 be similar to the effect of a pandemic-delayed camp in 2020? If not, will teams dip into their bench as often this October as they did last year?
“I think having depth is paramount at all turns,” Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said. “We did feel going into this offseason with some of our minor-league signs, adding depth to the minor leagues, that our depth was at a much better spot. Last year, you can point to the shortened 2020 season, and that is what caused those later injuries. This year you could point to a shortened spring training. Or it’s just baseball. I don’t know.”
Gomes pointed to the positional versatility of this year’s bench as reason for optimism. For as well as he hit in 25 games with the Dodgers, Lamb was not capable of backing up all three outfield positions like Gallo. That was a primary driver behind the Dodgers’ biggest deadline-day deal.
Right-handed hitter Hanser Alberto has backed up both middle infield positions. Left-handed hitter Edwin Rios, who is due back in the coming weeks from the injured list, can back up both corner infield positions.
Gallo, Thompson, Alberto and Rios probably aren’t Plan A for the Dodgers’ ideal postseason lineup. But their availability could be paramount to the Dodgers’ success.
“We’ll be able to navigate guys who are a little banged up,” Gomes said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Every four years, collegiate athletic teams are allowed to take an international trip. This summer, the Florida State men's basketball team took advantage of that, spending the last week and a half in Canada. The played three games, which the Noles all won, and a handful of scrimmages, and they also took some time to take in the sights.
For head coach Leonard Hamilton, he wanted to see this team grow a little bit. With some new faces, and guys without a ton of experience, taking some extra time to bond will hopefully only benefit this team down the road.
"These teams challenged us enough where defensively we had to be on our game because they all could shoot the ball really well and they were sound fundamentally," he said. "They challenged us on the defensive end. Offensively, they gave us just enough challenge for us to see what we could do and if we ran our system what they outcome would be if we ran it well and we also saw some areas where we could improve on."

Russell French and his wife, Paola, were shouting in pain after they and their son Kenneth were shot by off-duty Los Angeles police Officer Salvador Alejandro Sanchez in the Costco in Corona on June 14, 2019.
“My whole side was burning,” French testified on Thursday, Aug. 11, and he saw someone praying over him.
“That’s not a good sign,” French, 61, added matter-of-factly. Worse, Kenneth was immobile and silent.
“The little energy I had, I was able to move my head. I told him to pray over Ken,” French told Deputy Attorney General Mike Murphy.
French testified about the moments leading up to the gunfire and the couple’s recovery during the second day of Sanchez’s preliminary hearing in Superior Court in Riverside.
The day’s testimony concluded with French being cross-examined by defense attorney Michael D. Schwartz. The hearing is scheduled to resume at 1:30 p.m. on Monday. Judge Samuel Diaz Jr. will decide whether there is sufficient evidence to hold Sanchez for trial on charges of voluntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon.
Sanchez has pleaded not guilty. He is not in custody.
The state Attorney General’s Office is prosecuting the case after concluding that Sanchez’s actions as a police officer — shooting Kenneth French after the 32-year-old struck Sanchez with a blindside, unprovoked punch — were not reasonable. The Riverside County Grand Jury had previously declined to indict Sanchez and District Attorney Mike Hestrin decided not to file charges.
The LAPD fired Sanchez after an investigation into his actions. In a civil case, a federal jury in October awarded $17 million to Kenneth French’s estate and his parents.
For the second day in a row Thursday, there was testimony from a witness who said Sanchez believed that Kenneth French had shot him. But no gun was recovered from French, who is intellectually disabled, and authorities have said that Sanchez was the only shooter.
Russell French told Murphy that he had just handed his wife, Paola, 62, a sausage sample from a booth in the deli area and walked away. Kenneth was near the booth as well. The next thing French heard was someone shouting “police officer” and his wife pleading, “Don’t shoot.” He then saw someone sitting on the floor pointing a gun at him.
“I said, ‘Don’t shoot. My son is sick,’ and things happened at lightning speed,” French testified. Suddenly, “We’re all shouting in pain.”
Sanchez again Thursday sat at the end of the defense table, next to investigator Bobby Dean, writing notes on a yellow legal pad and whispering comments to Dean and Schwartz.
French said he lost a gall bladder and kidney to the bullets and survived by “a half millimeter,” a doctor told him, when a bullet only grazed his pancreas.
But Russell French testified that he and his wife still suffer from physical and mental wounds.
“We have a policy at home,” he said. “She doesn’t speak pain. I don’t speak pain. Otherwise, we are going to go down together.”
Samira Shokoor testified she was in the deli when she saw someone pull a gun out of his shorts pocket as he was falling. She ran when she heard the first shot.
“I was in disbelief that I was watching someone shooting in Costco,” Shokoor said.
William Gagnon was in the TV section when he heard the shots. He testified that he walked over to the deli and, seeing four people lying on the floor, assumed that there had been two shooters. Spotting Sanchez still holding a gun, Gagnon asked him where the second shooter was.
“He still has a gun,” Gagnon testified that Sanchez told him, pointing toward Kenneth French.
Gagnon went over to French and searched for a gun. He said he could not find one.
Gagnon then held French’s hand until he died.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Graham Gano hit a 24-yard field goal as time expired, Daniel Jones was solid in limited work and the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 23-21 on Thursday night to open the preseason.
The Giants gave Brian Daboll a victory in his head coaching debut against his predecessor and the team he started his NFL career with.
Despite some breakouts by the offensive line, the Giants moved the ball well, with Jones completing 6 of 10 passes for 69 yards. Running back Saquon Barkley had four carries for 13 yards and one catch for 8 yards.
Antonio Williams had a 2-yard touchdown run and Graham Gano made three field goals.
Brian Hoyer and Bailey Zappe each threw touchdown passes for New England, which except for rookie left guard Cole Strange, gave most of its projected starters, including starting quarterback Mac Jones, the night off.
The Giants elected to play their starters for one quarter, which amounted to the first two series.
Zappe was 19 of 32 for 205 yards and touchdown. Brian Hoyer was 5 of 8 for 59 yards and a TD. Kevin Harris had a 3-yard touchdown run and Kristian Wilkerson finished with eight catches for 99yards.
The Giants led 20-14 in the fourth quarter before the Patriots took the the lead after a 20-yard TD pass from Bailey Zappe to Lil’Jordan Humphrey.
But New York responded on the ensuing series, with Davis Webb leading the Giants on an 11-play, 69-yard drive capped by Gano’s game-winner.
New York hired Daboll in the hopes he could bring better play out of Jones, who has underwhelmed since being taken sixth overall in the 2019 draft.
It wasn’t all positive for the Giants, though. Starting left guard Shane Lemieux played the opening series before leaving with a toe injury. He was replaced by rookie Josh Ezeudu.
Defensively, two of New England of free agency acquisitions made their presence felt. Cornerback Terrance Mitchell forced a fumble and finished with four tackles. Linebacker Mack Wilson had five tackles and was credited with a quarterback hit.
One of the biggest questions for the Patriots has been who’d be tasked with play calling for the Patriots following the departure of former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to become the Las Vegas Raiders coach.
There still doesn’t appear to be a definitive successor.
Senior football advisor Matt Patricia and Judge, back in New England after being fired by the Giants after two seasons, have both taken turns doing it throughout training camp.
That continued Thursday with Patricia handling the duties for the first two series. Then, after rookie Zappe was inserted in the second quarter, Judge took over the headset.
Working against New England’s second-team defense, the Giants moved the ball well on the opening drive of the game, moving all the way to the 6 before settling for Gano’s 25-yard field goal.
With backup Hoyer at quarterback, New England punted on their first touch of the night. But following a Giants punt, the Patriots went to work.
First, Hoyer connected with Wilkerson on a 33-yard pass to get the Patriots into the red zone. Six plays later, Hoyer found Thornton for a touchdown fropm 2 yards out.
The Giants answered just before halftime via a 7-yard TD pass from backup Tyrod Taylor to receiver Richie James.
INJURIES
Giants: Backup center Jamil Douglas left in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. … Rookie CB Cor’Dale Flott exited in the third quarter with a groin injury.
Patriots: Offensive lineman Yodny Cajuste was helped off the field in the third quarter.

An attorney for pop star Britney Spears has released a statement with sharp words directed at the singer's ex-husband, Kevin Federline, who also fathered multiple children with Spears.
Spears' ex-husband posted multiple videos to Instagram on Wednesday said to have been filmed by Spears' son years ago. In the videos, you can hear Spears using harsh language while verbally disagreeing with the child.
As CNN reported, the videos have been removed from the social media platform but were published by TMZ.
Spears' attorney said in a statement that Spears' team is “working with Instagram to ensure that Mr. Federline adheres to its rules, and we are exploring all appropriate relief against him.”
Mathew Rosengart, an attorney for Spears, said, “Whether he realizes it or not, Mr. Federline has not only violated the privacy and dignity of the mother of his children, he has undermined his own children, whose privacy he should protect.” He said, Mr. Federline’s ill-advised decision to post an old video of his 11 and 12-year-old children was cruel, bottom of the barrel stuff.”
“It has been my honor to work with Britney, to suspend her father as conservator, to help her gain her freedom and dignity, and to help protect her from the type of bullying she endured in the past - and we will not tolerate bullying in any area,” Rosengart said.
Federline said in his post that he was sharing the video to show why he and his family have recently distanced themselves from Spears. | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/britney-spears-lawyer-tells-ex-husband-kevin-federline-that-bullying-will-not-be-tolerated | 2022-08-12T03:45:19Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/britney-spears-lawyer-tells-ex-husband-kevin-federline-that-bullying-will-not-be-tolerated | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
THE National Council of Muslim Youth Organisations (NACOMYO) in Ekiti State has called on the state’s governor-elect, Biodun Oyebanji, to declare the first day of the first month of the Islamic calendar, Muharram, as public holiday in the state when he assumes office in October.
The state coordinator of NACOMYO, Mudasiru Yusuf, during a Hijrah lecture organised by the group in Ado-Ekiti, noted that the incoming administration should take a clue from the neighbouring states by declaring the date as holiday to give sense of belonging to the Muslim community in the state.
Yusuf congratulated Oyebanji on his victory at the June 18 governorship election and then urged him to fulfill his campaign promises to the people.
He advised Muslims in the state to partake in the electoral process in the country, especially next year’s general election, by obtaining their permanent voter’s cards (PVCs).
He said: “While formally congratulating the governor-elect of our dear state, Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, on your well-deserved victory at the just concluded gubernatorial poll, I wish you sustain the people’s confidence in the course of delivering your election promises, ensure justice, equity and fairness as the thrust of your policies and administration.
“The welfare and security of the people are germane and they must be accorded priority attention. Youth unemployment has implications for national security. Therefore, youths’ joblessness must be tackled head-on.
“Your Excellency, NACOMYO wishes that the first of Muharram, which is the first day of the Islamic calendar be made holiday like the other sister states in the South West of Nigeria.
“I want to enjoin all Muslim faithful to obtain their PVC, which is a tool for making a wise choice in next year’s general election. Obviously, without obtaining the PVC, you are not doing the country any good and your voice may not be heard.”
He commended the guest speaker and Chief Imam of the Ondo State Government House, Akure, Sheikh Yunus Abdulahi Anola, for accepting to speak on the topic ‘Transformative and Unifying Governance: Looking Beyond Religious Prejudice’, saying that his wealth of experience and understanding of Islam would continue to be appreciated by the group.
The event was attended by Muslim leaders in the state, including the president-general of the League of Imams and Alfas in the South-West, Alhaji Jamiu Kewulere. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/declare-muharram-1-public-holiday-nacomyo-urges-incoming-ekiti-gov/ | 2022-08-12T03:45:24Z | tribuneonlineng.com | control | https://tribuneonlineng.com/declare-muharram-1-public-holiday-nacomyo-urges-incoming-ekiti-gov/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Bones & All: Everything We Know About Timothée Chalamet’s Cannibal Flick
Director Luca Guadagnino’s new film Bones and All reunites him with his Call Me By Your Name muse. Timothée Chalamet. Though, this time around it’s a completely different type love story. This film is also an adaptation of Camille DeAngelis’s novel of the same name that follows two teens in love, though they just happen to be cannibals. Chalamet’s romantic interest is played by Taylor Russell, and in the teaser trailer released on August 10, they project passion and have incredible hair. Their love story is intercut with some haunting roadside horror, so this film really has something for everyone.
“You don’t think I’m a bad person?” Chalamet asks her in the trailer.
Viewers are shown some hints as to why his new girlfriend might think the guy who eats people is bad, before cutting back to their intimate moment.
“All I think is that I love you,” she responds.
Here’s what we know about Bones and All so far.
What is Bones and All about?
The film is described as “a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee, an intense and disenfranchised drifter, as they meet and join together for a 1,000-mile odyssey that takes them through the back roads, hidden passages, and trap doors of Ronald Reagan’s America. But, despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and to a final stand that will determine whether their love can survive their otherness.”
Guadagnino himself has said, “"a very romantic story, about the impossibility of love and yet, the need for it. Even in extreme circumstances."
And there’s cannibalism.
Maren has been eating people since she was young, but after her mother goes missing one day she set out both to find her father and to meet other cannibals like her.
Who is in the cast of Bones and All?
Alongside Chalamet and Russell, the supporting cast includes Chloë Sevigny, Mark Rylance, André Holland, and Michael Stuhlbarg. Stuhlbarg played the father of Chalamet’s character in Call Me By Your Name.
Where Was Bones and All Filmed?
Most of Guadagnino’s films are set in historic European cities, but for Bones and All he shot in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s the first time Guadagnino has ever filmed a feature in the United States.
When will Bones and All be released?
The thriller is scheduled to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, but will be in theaters on November 23. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/bones-and-all-timothee-chalamet-location-cast-release-date-location | 2022-08-12T03:49:29Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/bones-and-all-timothee-chalamet-location-cast-release-date-location | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A Rare Look Back at the Earliest Women in Photography
These days, the idea of singling out a group so broad as “women photographers” sounds passé. In fact, you’re likely able to name at least a couple—Diane Arbus or Cindy Sherman, anyone?—off the top of your head. But it’s worth remembering that, for well over a century, this wasn’t the case. Not that women weren’t taking photographs, (and good ones at that); their talent wasn’t getting the recognition it deserved, and indeed still barely is today. “Women’s Work: A Survey of Female Photographers,” an exhibition on view at Florida’s Museum of Fine Arts through September 11, aims to correct that wrong. It took a full 150 years, for example, for a museum to acknowledge that the work of Julia Margaret Cameron, a pioneering 19th-century photographer, merited an exhibition. And while you may have come across her name since the V&A stepped up to the plate, you’re not alone if you aren’t familiar with some of the ones that follow. Get a taste of their little-known legacies with a look inside the show, below.

Florence Pugh Quashes Those Olivia Wilde Feud Rumors With an Instagram Post
Olivia Wilde’s new film Don’t Worry Darling will be premiering at the Venice Film Festival next month and its star, Florence Pugh, has finally acknowledged the movie’s existence on social media. Certain corners of social media and the gossip-sphere have imagined some sort of elaborate feud Pugh was in with the Booksmart director when press for the new film began to circulate with no input from its lead. Well, co-lead; Pugh stars opposite Harry Styles, Wilde’s boyfriend.
Wilde separated from her partner Jason Sudeikis soon after meeting the pop icon on set. Wilde and Styles’ relationship supposedly only began after the break up, but sources told Page Six that Pugh was unhappy with the chemistry between the director and her co-star.
“I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry,” claimed the insider.
Pugh’s alleged disapproval was expanded on by fans who noted she never liked a post by Wilde about the movie in which she is tagged, which, apparently, in Hollywood world is like cursing someone out at their birthday party. She had also posted about a different film on the same day Wilde tagged her, sharing a teaser trailer for her new project Oppenheimer, about atomic bomb scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Then, when she was being interviewed on the red carpet for a London opening of Tiffany & Co., Pugh had a lot to say about working with Styles and the film’s styling and didn’t mention Wilde at all.
But Pugh has stepped up and shared a little teaser for Don’t Worry Darling on her timeline.
The language of the post is pretty neutral, quoting the movies tagline “Not everyone gets this opportunity…” and adding the movie’s official release date in theaters on September 23. It definitely sounds like a social media manager is at the helm here, though for what its worth, another source said the same about her Oppenheimer post.
“I heard she was already scheduled to post [about ‘Oppenheimer’] that day for some specific reason, it had nothing to do with a response to Olivia,” the source told Page Six. Perhaps Pugh never really dwells on Instagram and the myriad readings everyone is putting into what she does and doesn’t do on there. If so, lucky her. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/florence-pugh-olivie-wilde-feud-truce | 2022-08-12T03:49:42Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/florence-pugh-olivie-wilde-feud-truce | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Gwyneth Paltrow & Apple Martin Twin During a Lavish NYC Trip
On Wednesday, Gwyneth Paltrow posted on her Instagram stories that she was enjoying a 48-hour vacay in New York City with her daughter, Apple Martin, and the pics of their adventures are already living up to your Goopiest expectations. The mother-daughter duo is enjoying facials, a little shopping, some vegan Chinese food, dinner at Via Carota, and dessert at The Grill. Paltrow did note that it is a sweltering 102 degrees in her hometown right now, but she and Apple were smiling through it.
It looks like they attended a concert at Irving Plaza together as well, seeing musical artist Sam Fender, which Paltrow wrote on Stories was her first time at a concert in quite a while. Apple turned 18 in May, and as an official adult she is clearly blossoming into a carbon copy of her mom.
“48 hours in NYC with this beauty,” Paltrow wrote over another photo, catching Apple in a candid moment up in their hotel, which had a stunning view of the city.
Paltrow’s full outfit was later caught by Paparazzi. While she apparently didn’t get the “big pants” memo, she did opt for some rather wide-legged capris. She pared them with a billowing white button-up and an orange Hermès crossbody bag for a pop of color.
Paltrow shares Apple with her ex-husband, Chris Martin, along with their 16-year-old son Moses. The former couple still spend time together as friends and appear to co-parent well, celebrating milestones in their kids lives together. Paltrow has since paired up with Brad Falchuk, who has two children as well, Brody and Isabella. Martin is living with his longtime girlfriend, actress Dakota Johnson.
On Apple’s birthday, Paltrow wrote her a loving tribute on Instagram, sharing a photo of Apple checking herself out in the mirror and looking like her mom on a movie set in the ‘90s.
“18. I'm a bit of a loss for words this morning. I could not be more proud of the woman you are. You are everything I could have dreamed of and so much more,” Paltrow said. “Proud doesn't cover it, my heart swells with feelings I can't put in to words. You are deeply extraordinary in every way.” | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/gwyneth-paltrow-apple-martin-nyc-trip-twin | 2022-08-12T03:49:48Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/gwyneth-paltrow-apple-martin-nyc-trip-twin | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
“I read a lot of Teen Vogue when I was younger,” Iman Hariri-Kia says over Zoom, clad in a deep fuchsia blazer the same color as the cover of her debut novel, A Hundred Other Girls, which came out last week. Sitting at the dining table of her fifth-floor walk-up on New York City’s Lower East Side, she touches the gold nameplate necklace around her neck while speaking. “At the time, it was a lot more aspirational than relatable for me. It showed all these thin, white, upper-class women, who were not necessarily direct reflections of myself.”
Born and raised in New York City to Iranian parents, Hariri-Kia attended a private school in Manhattan, where she felt like “a fish out of water.” The author, editor, and writer experienced racism at a young age, and as a result, felt frustrated with her honey-toned skin and naturally thick body hair. Books and writing became a way for her to momentarily escape her circumstances, and find her own space in a world where she did not exactly fit in.
It’s a similar story for Noora, the starring protagonist of Hariri-Kia’s novel. A witty blogger in New York City, Noora lands a job at Vinyl Magazine, her dream publication, as an assistant to the iconic, diva-like editor in chief, Loretta James. Noora’s dream soon turns into a nightmare when she’s pitted in the center of a turf war between the print and digital teams, and finds herself dealing with tokenization as a writer of Middle Eastern descent, expected to purge her trauma in articles for clicks and likes.
Inspired by her own experience working in media—Hariri-Kia was once an entry-level assistant at Teen Vogue—A Hundred Other Girls heavily pulls from the publication’s digitization and political shift toward covering more social justice topics in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election win. “Ultimately, this was the beginning of the digital media boom, young people were writing and editing for the site, and the print magazine folded at what a lot of people would see as the height of its popularity,” Hariri-Kia recalls. “Watching the ways in which decisions were made behind the scenes, it was the first time I thought to myself that this is the right [material] for fiction.”
Throughout the novel, Noora struggles to navigate her way in a media landscape in which she is misunderstood and exoticized, but still remains hungry to write and share the stories of marginalized people without losing her integrity as a journalist. Hariri-Kia describes many parts of the book as “autofiction.” But “with that said, I definitely fictionalized everything. I am not as brave, messy and salacious as Noora,” she adds with a laugh.
While pain, exploitation, and long working hours tend to flicker behind the surreal glamour of a career in fashion, Hariri-Kia’s characters use their everyday outfits to express their identity. Noora attends her job interview in a tie-dyed “slinky dress” she thrifted from Beacon’s Closet; Saffron, a nonbinary editor from the Midwest, sports overalls with cowboy boots and an arm covered with tattoos; and Leila, Noora’s ultrafeminine older sister, likes wearing curve-hugging dresses and sexy jumpsuits reminiscent of Donna Summer or the Iranian pop star Googoosh.
“I wanted to dress all my characters fabulously, and I wanted to show that people from different backgrounds are often the tastemakers in the room,” Hariri-Kia says. The debut novelist sits with W to discuss her own wardrobe, favorite designers, and how to use fashion as a way to “fake it till you make it.”
What were you wearing yesterday, and why did you wear it?
I’ve gotten this suit from Frankie Shop that matches my book cover. Yesterday, I wore it with basketball shorts and a vintage Prada bustier shirt, and little heels. I felt like the coolest person in the world.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
Probably my mother, Gisue Hariri. She’s an architect, and when I was younger, I was embarrassed by the way she dressed. Her outfits were so structural and she always liked being the loudest dresser in a room. She stressed to me that clothing should be a living, breathing organism, and I should think about the way clothes and fabric move, not just the way they look. That definitely influenced me—I’ve always thought about playing with shape and texture and movement more so than just color and cut.
How would you describe your personal style?
Eclectic and vibrant. I’m influenced by a mix of the East and the West, so I’m interested in including calligraphy [in my wardrobe], wearing clothes and accessories created by Middle Eastern designers, and making sure that every time I leave the house, I try to signal something about myself that maybe I can’t tell everyone I pass on the sidewalk.
How did you go about styling your characters’ closets?
This book renders a lot of comparisons to The Devil Wears Prada, which was focused on high-end labels and haute couture: the world of print fashion. In contrast, my book is more so about the awakening of digital media, and the rift between the old guard and the new guard. I wanted to capture the new generation’s style, which is inclusive, a mix of secondhand and high-end labels, and intent on upcycling different pieces. So for example, Noora’s best friend at work, Saffron, has this really cool Brooklyn style to them, while Noora’s older sister, Leila, is always in a bright power suit.
What do you think is the significance of owning femininity and sex appeal in fashion?
For me, it comes down to, how does dressing and owning your sexuality make you feel? Do you feel safe and beautiful? Do you feel the closest to yourself when you dress to highlight your inner Venus? It’s a subjective choice, and I don’t think there’s any right way to own your sexuality and be a "good feminist." Leila perfectly embodies someone whose inner person is sexy, confident, and provocative. She’s dressing that way because it makes her feel in control and limitless.
Who are some of your favorite Middle Eastern designers?
I love Melody Ehsani. I always wanted to get her cherry earrings at her shop on Kenmare Street in New York, but it closed during the pandemic, so I didn’t get the chance. Dorian Who, a Canada-based designer, is fantastic—the way she builds her pieces is really artistic. I also love Zarin Nasr, an Iranian calligraphist designer who does silk printing by hand on different caftans and robes, and Maryam Nassir Zadeh is one of my favorite designers as well. I’ve been wearing her silver sandals a lot this summer.
What was the last thing you purchased?
I just got a pair of vintage Prada workplace heels. They’re satin and patterned and multitextured, and they remind me of Dolly Parton’s "9 to 5." The heel is small, so I’ll actually be able to walk in them.
I think sometimes, when you’re experiencing impostor syndrome and navigating new environments—whether you’re the youngest in the room or the only woman of color—it’s nice to wear something that gives you a little boost of confidence. It helps you fake it till you make it. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/iman-hariri-kia-a-hundred-other-girls-novel-interview | 2022-08-12T03:49:54Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/iman-hariri-kia-a-hundred-other-girls-novel-interview | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Jacob Elordi Only Had A Few Hundred In The Bank Before 'Euphoria'
Euphoria star Jacob Elordi admitted to GQ that before he booked the role of Nate Jacobs he was couch surfing, storing all his stuff in his car, and watching the small savings in his bank account rapidly deplete. In 2017, the Australian-born Elordi had just wrapped filming Netflix’s teen sensation The Kissing Booth and moved to Los Angeles. He slept in a friend’s living room in the San Fernando Valley and sometimes in his Mitsubishi.
“I wasn't booking jobs,” explained Elordi. “I think I had — I don't know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account — and Euphoria was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.”
It’s a storyline that mirrors that of his co-star Sydney Sweeney, who recently revealed she still wouldn’t be able to live comfortably in Los Angeles on her acting earning alone.
For Elordi, it was great news he had been cast on the HBO hit, but the money didn’t hit his account right away. He was still juggling his living situation.
“My car was like a hoarder's, stacked with boxes and coat hangers and things,” he said, adding that a producer noticed his situation and got him a hotel room. “I got really lucky ... Which is just an L.A. story, you know?"
It wasn’t long before Elordi’s life as a struggling actor was officially over. The Kissing Booth was released in 2018, and he had four million new followers on Instagram over night.
“I had to go through and delete my high school pictures because that was the Instagram that I used for my life,” he said. “I wish people could understand how drastic that change was.”
It was so intense that Elordi says he wanted to quit acting, adding that this “might sound quite sensitive and dramatic, but I am sensitive and I’m very dramatic. I hated being a character to the public. I felt so far from myself.”
“It felt like, all of a sudden, I was a poster,” he continued. “Like I was a billboard. It felt like it was for sale. Then my brain went through the fucking wringer. Like, I wasn’t sure if I was genuine. It really skews your view. It creates a very paranoid way of living.”
Elordi says he managed to overcome some of these feelings after talking to his Deep Water co-star Ben Affleck. Affleck is definitely a guy who knows something about the spotlight. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/jacob-elordi-broke-before-euphoria | 2022-08-12T03:50:00Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/jacob-elordi-broke-before-euphoria | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Inside Kylie Jenner’s Intimate Sister Getaway For Her 25th Birthday
Kylie Jenner celebrated turning 25 this week with some of her favorite people by her side. E! News reports that she flew her mother, Kris Jenner, her 4-year-old daughter Stormi Webster, her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian, and some of her closest friends out to “a very intimate and relaxing trip.”
“They have been spending time relaxing by the pool and the beach while having drinks and quality girl time,” said the source. They added that Kylie “loves that she can bring Stormi along and celebrate these milestones with her.”
Kylie shared a TikTok compilation of moments from her trip, featuring a few of her girlfriends who were at the festivities as well. In the clips, Kylie is wearing a pink bodycon dress with cut outs in the mid-torso and matching pink slides. She shared a glimpse of their delicious pastry-filled breakfast and a few friendly embraces with her pals on the trip.
Kylie also shared a glimpse of her birthday night outfit. She wore a glittering white cocktail dress with an asymmetric neckline.
Kim shared some shots of herself with Kylie at the tropical location, drinking cocktails and toasting life.
“Every year you amaze me at how wise, protective of your loved ones and just how generous your heart is,” Kim wrote. “You are so special and one of one. You have so much love and happiness in your love that I pray for this forever.”
While Kim was in an all-black ensemble with a one-strap bathing suit top, Kylie wore a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier tattoo-print dress.
Big sis is apparently enjoying the getaway almost as much as Kylie. The beauty mogul recently broke up with comedian Pete Davidson after nine months of dating and she needed the getaway post-separation.
“She was excited to get away with her sisters [and] celebrate Kylie,” said the source. “She loves a girls trip and [it] was much needed.”
They explained that Kim “just wants to enjoy herself” and “is having fun right now.” | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/kylie-jenner-25th-birthday-trip | 2022-08-12T03:50:10Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/kylie-jenner-25th-birthday-trip | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Madonna & Beyoncé’s Quiet Friendship: An Exhaustive History
Beyoncé opted out of her traditional surprise drop for Renaissance, but she still had one major bombshell for fans: last week, she unveiled a special remix of “Break My Soul” featuring interpolations of Madonna’s legendary “Vogue.” While Beyoncé sings on the track’s opening, “I, mother of my house, vow, to keep my f–ing mouth to myself,” we all know by now that’s something Madonna could never promise. The Queen of Pop doesn’t hold tongue and fake affection, and she certainly doesn’t trust her legacy to just anyone. Allowing another singer to reinterpret one of her definitive songs is a major sign of respect.
After the release, Madonna took to Instagram to share photos of the notes and flowers Beyoncé had sent her. “You Are Masterpiece Genius. Thank You For Allowing Me To Sing In Your Song And Thank You For Naming The Remix!!!!," Bey wrote on the card. (So, it turns out, Madonna herself suggested the title “The Queens Remix.”) Clearly, the coronated Queen of Pop doesn’t recognize any old singer as another royal.
While the pair haven’t flaunted their relationship often in public, there’s actually a long history of both friendship and mutual respect between Madonna and Beyoncé.
Coming Together for Oprah
While we’re not sure when Beyoncé and Madonna first met face-to-face (Bey was in the audience for that famous 2003 VMAs performance with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, after all), the first time they were spotted on stage together was for Oprah. For the final episodes of her talk show in 2011, Oprah held a massive event at Chicago’s United Center. Madonna surprised her with a speech, while Beyoncé did a graduation-themed performance of “Run The World (Girls).” The two stars appeared side-by-side on stage at the very end, and looked rather chummy.
Madonna Stans at Beyoncé Concert and Anoints Her a Queen
While Beyoncé and Madonna attended several of the same events and awards shows over the years, the public didn’t really get a sense of how much of a Beyoncé Stan Madonna was until 2013. That year, she took her daughter, Mercy James, to one of the Brooklyn dates of The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour and promptly freaked out about it on Instagram. “Mrs. Carter crushes the BK with her bad ass show! Girls run the world!” Madonna wrote under one blurry photo of the show she snapped. She captioned another of Bey bending down to kiss Mercy on the forehead with, “Mercy James gets a big fat one from the Queen B!”
Beyoncé Credits Madonna With Inspiring Her New Career Direction
Just a few days later, Beyoncé screened her self-titled visual album at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. The album marked a definitive turning point in Bey’s career, and one that she revealed was inspired by Madonna. “I felt like I wanted to follow in the footsteps of Madonna and be a powerhouse and have my own empire,” she reportedly told the crowd, “and show other women when you get to this point in your career, you don’t have to go sign with someone else and share your money and your success. You can do it yourself.”
She continued that train of thought in an interview with The Gentlewoman that same year. “I think about Madonna and how she took all of the great things she achieved and started the label and developed other artists. But there are not enough of those women.”
In that same video, she says her Life Is But a Dream documentary was inspired by Madonna’s own Truth or Dare. “It’s a different personality and a different approach, but we’re doing the same thing,” Bey said.
Some People Think Beyoncé’s “Haunted” Video was Inspired by “Justify My Love”
Beyoncé herself has never confirmed as much, but when the visual for “Haunted” came out, several commenters compared it to Madonna’s infamously banned “Justify My Love” video. It’s certainly not the most direct of references, but both videos do involve the pop stars walking through a fancy hotel while witnessing all sorts of suggestive and sensual stuff as they walk by the rooms.
“Haunted” was directed by Jonas Åkerlund. He didn’t direct “Justify,” but his first big pop music video directing breakthrough was Madonna’s own “Ray of Light.” He’s continued to be one of the video directors of choice for both singers.
Madonna Declares Beyoncé Is Not Part of the Illuminati in Song Lyrics
Powerful celebrity friends don’t let powerful celebrity friends get accused of being part of the Illuminati. On the album track “Illuminati” from her 2014 album Rebel Heart, Madonna shouts out Beyoncé and Jay Z in the very first line of the song, stating they are not affiliated with the secret society. Other things that Madonna declares aren’t part of the Illuminati: the Pope, “Clinton or Obama,” Justin Bieber, “Prada or Gucci” triangles, and “Gaga.” What is the illuminati? “Everybody in this party.”
This was about a year before Beyoncé confirmed as much on “Formation” by declaring, “Y’all haters corny with that Illuminati mess.” So it’s safe to say they’re both on the same page.
Beyoncé Appears in the “Bitch I’m Madonna” Music Video
Beyoncé dipped her toes into hyperpop on Renaissance with the A.G. Cook co-produced track “All Up in My Mind,” but it wasn’t necessarily her first connection to the genre. She made a cameo (via separately shot video appearance) in Madge’s 2015 “Bitch I’m Madonna” video, a sort of proto-hyperpop track that featured writing contribution from Cook’s frequent collaborator, the late musician Sophie. Appropriately, Beyoncé does a bit of light voguing in her cameo.
Madonna Says Beyoncé “Ticks All The Boxes”
Back in 2015, Entertainment Weekly let Bravo kingpin Andy Cohen guest edit an issue. Of course, he managed to snag an interview with Madonna herself, who used the opportunity to lavish praise on Bey.
“She’s a great performer and she puts on a show,” Madonna told Cohen. “She’s a professional, you know what I mean? She ticks all the boxes. She’s great live, and all the stuff around her, it’s complete entertainment...She gives it her all, so I appreciate that.”
Bey Catches Madonna in Concert
Two years after Madonna went to one of Beyoncé’s show, Bey returned the favor. She was spotted at the Los Angeles-area stop of The Rebel Heart Tour.
Some Light Gwyneth Paltrow-Related Gossip Reports
If you’re not aware that Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow used to be very public BFFs and then one day suddenly weren’t, we don’t have time to get into it all. You’d need an entire symposium on ’90s and early ’00s celebrity gossip to fully cover the topic (and even then, no one knows the real story to this day). Well, Beyoncé and husband Jay Z also used to be quit friendly with Gwyneth and her ex, Chris Martin. Back in 2015, there was a round of spurious rumors that the queen of Parkwood and the queen of Goop split up because Beyoncé had grown closer to Madonna.
As these sorts of things go, it appears it may have just been BS. Paltrow and Beyoncé continued to be publicly friendly for years afterwards (Paltrow was even there for Beyoncé’s Super Bowl show, where she performed alongside Martin).
Years of Attending the Same VIP Parties
Beyoncé has mastered the art of going to VIP parties without paparazzi photos of her leaking, so we can’t be too sure what really went on inside these shindigs. But we can certainly find reports that Bey and Madge attended a lot of the same exclusive fetes over the years. They were both at The xx’s final show of a string of concerts in New York in 2014, Daft Punk’s Grammy’s after party that same year, and multiple Met Galas.
Madonna Has Also Turned Up to Support a Few Beyoncé-Related Efforts
When Beyoncé calls, Madonna tells her she’s there.
Madonna was one of the music superstars on stage in 2015 to support the launch of Jay Z’s streaming service, Tidal. Madonna also appeared at the 2013 “Chime For Change: The Sound of Change Live” concert at Twickenham Stadium in London—an event Beyoncé helped organize.
And, Finally, “The Queens Remix”
Beyoncé’s Renaissance sourced ample inspiration from the Ballroom scene, a subculture Madonna famously mined for her 1990 hit “Vogue.” While Madonna employed members of the community (one of whom, José Xtravaganza, just appeared on stage with her once again earlier this summer) her appropriation of the culture still remains much discussed. On Beyoncé’s reimagining of the song’s iconic spoken word verse, she replaces Madonna’s odes to the (mostly white) Hollywood stars of yore and replaces them with Black female musicians as well as lists the names of several actual Ballroom houses. It’s an ambitious re-imagination of the song, and one Madonna wouldn’t let just anyone attempt. It appears she’s happy with the results. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/madonna-beyonce-friendship-timeline | 2022-08-12T03:50:16Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/madonna-beyonce-friendship-timeline | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
An Ode to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Hall-of-Fame Couples Style
Individually, they were already fashion royalty. But together, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have ascended to the plane of celestial best dressed. Long before the couple shared a son, they both had a keen interest in clothing. Rihanna—ever with her eyes on both the most exciting emerging designers and the holiest archival grails—and Rocky—a master at both dictating and subverting streetwear trends—may very well be the most important fashion couple on the planet right now. It’s no wonder Rihanna once responded to a question about the possibility of her progeny not being into fashion with abject horror. “That is the day that I will have a problem, if my child don’t like fashion? What?? You’ve got me so nervous!” she told Vogue.
Together, they prove that the notion of “couples style” isn’t necessarily about coordinating, but rather, in its best form, complements each other’s confidence in their individuality and vision. Here, a look back at some of their best dressed moments together.
Under designer Alessandro Michele, Gucci’s mandate seems to be “too much is never enough.” Both nodded to the house codes at a Gucci event in February, 2022. Rocky wore big yellow mittens and carried a monogramed suitcase. Rihanna, meanwhile, had on a Joan of Arc-worthy headpiece and a purple faux-fur coat. Yet each grounded their outfit in a base layer of black.
At first glance, these outfits look like they belong at two separate events. But take a second look, and you’ll notice they’re actually quite coordinated. The purple ombré of Rihanna’s sheer, glistening pants match Rocky’s purple Louis Vuitton varsity jacket. The green in his sneakers and in the detailing of his jacket coordinate with her top. Plus, the texture of his artfully shredded jeans echoes the strand-effect seen on Rihanna’s upper half.
The idea was “casual with a dose of glamour” for a date night in NYC in January, 2022. Rihanna paired her Martine Rose track jacket with a faux-fur stole and trimmed miniskirt. Rocky let her outfit shine, color-wise—but look closer and notice the luxe trim on his hood.
Do their iconic 2021 Met Gala outfits need explanation? She’s in a Balenciaga ballgown that recalls a sleeping bag. He’s in a costume ERL coat made from a vintage quilt.
They were styled for the “D.M.B.” music video, shot in the summer of 2021, so the coordination was perhaps more intentional that usual.
What does a superstar couple wear to a red carpet? A suit and a gown, of course—but at the Fashion Awards in 2019, they each put their own spin on the classics. Rocky’s suit is delightfully oversized, while Rihanna dresses up a cocktail-length dress with all the black tie trimming, including a jeweled choker and evening gloves.
Long before they were co-parents, they were (sometimes flirty) collaborators. Performing “Cockiness” at the 2012 VMAs, each musician dressed in full monochrome looks, but neither’s outfit could be described as basic. | https://www.wmagazine.com/fashion/rihanna-asap-rocky-best-couples-style-fashion-moments | 2022-08-12T03:50:22Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/fashion/rihanna-asap-rocky-best-couples-style-fashion-moments | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Well, I know how at least 51 people in Washington, D.C., spent the sabbath. They were busy fleecing the flock as 50 senators, backed by Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaker vote, unanimously sent the “Inflation Reduction Act” to the House of Representatives for vote. It sides with special interests. But the bill certainly is not in the best interests for American families. If anybody believes what this bill implies, that it actually reduces inflation, then they deserve the tsunami of inflated prices that they’ll most certainly experience in years to come.

A third party is a fantasy
Re “Can a third party finally break through in America?” (Aug. 9):
Tom Campbell’s editorial about the need for a third political party was a nice fantasy. However, that really misses the point. It’s not that we have a dysfunctional two-party system, but that one of the parties is trying to create one party rule. Democrats saw what California was able to do with one-party rule and now they are trying to take that national.

Larry Wilson’s shoddy column
Re “Why are there no homeless in Europe?” (Aug. 7):
Larry Wilson has done his usual job of thorough fact-finding and meticulous research for his latest column. He looked out of a few tour bus windows in European cities and has declared the continent free from homelessness. We now have the incontrovertible proof that socialism works best and capitalism is evil.

AB 257 is absurd
The headline of today’s E section in bold typeface is: “Fast-food workers pay ‘far below a living wage’.”
Since when is this shocking news? Who ever imagined that fast-food workers would make a living wage? How much should someone be paid to flip hamburgers and ask “Do you want fries with that”?
Fast-food employers give teenagers and others with little experience or education an opportunity to earn some money.
If they want to earn more money, they can do so by getting trained or educated in a field where their worth to a potential employer will make that possible.
Until then, stop complaining.
— Julie Gilbart, Murrieta

Southwest Airlines employees celebrate passenger's 104th birthday
Southwest Airlines recently went the extra mile for a passenger's milestone birthday.
In 2018, Mrs. Jane Smith of San Francisco, California, flew with the Southwest Airlines team from San Francisco to Las Vegas to celebrate her 100th birthday.
That's when she first became friendly with the flight crew, according to a July 28, 2022, news release from Southwest Airlines.
To make the day memorable, Southwest employees sang "Isn’t She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder at the gates.
Then, all the passengers on the flight sang "Happy Birthday to You."
STOWAWAY DOG FOUND HIDING AT SOUTHWEST AIRLINES TERMINAL
Since then, Southwest employees Bryan Dal Portoa, San Francisco customer service supervisor, and Nisha Chinn, a San Francisco customer service manager, have gotten closer to Smith and her family.
Jane Smith of San Francisco felt the birthday love from Southwest Airlines employees. (Southwest Airlines Co.)
For the last two years, Smith's plans for her birthday trips were halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
So, Dal Porto and Chinn wanted Smith's 2022 trip to Las Vegas to be a joyous occasion for the centenarian.
The Southwest staffers printed out certificates to have the agents greet her as she passed through the airport in San Francisco.
They also worked with their colleagues in Los Angeles to ensure that Smith arrived in style.
However, two days before her planned trip to Las Vegas on March 24, 2022, Smith got sick and had to cancel.
OHIO COUPLE CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAYS, 79 YEARS OF MARRIAGE: 'BEEN A GOOD LIFE'
That’s when Dal Porto and Chinn brought the party to her — complete with a cake, an orchid and some Southwest Airlines goodies.
"Celebrating a birthday at Southwest Airlines is always a special occasion. However, there was nothing quite like honoring and celebrating the life of someone as sweet as Mama Jane year after year," Chinn told Fox News Digital.
"It’s been a fulfilling experience to meet her and her family who have now become a part of our Southwest family."
Jane Smith of San Francisco got a sweet surprise visit from two Southwest employees, Nisha Chinn and Bryan Dal Porto. (Southwest Airlines Co.)
"This has been an amazing journey with Mama Jane. This is why Southwest employees are the heart of connecting our customers to what is important in their lives," echoed Dal Porto.
"It’s so gratifying to make Mama Jane feel special."
Smith has three daughters and one son, along with 14 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, Southwest told Fox News Digital.
5 BEACH-TOWN ALTERNATIVES TO TRY INSTEAD OF THE POPULAR AND CROWDED DESTINATIONS
Her husband, Irving Russell Smith, Sr., died on March 14, 2013, at the age of 96.
The couple were married for 71 years.
The first time the Southwest Airlines team met Jane Smith on her 100th birthday was during a flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas. (Southwest Airlines Co.)
Smith had several jobs in her life. She was once a maid for the president of Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia, sold eggs and homemade butter, operated a grocery store in Staunton with her husband and worked in a department store as a gift wrapper.
In Richmond, Virginia, she worked as a supervisor from the U.S. Defense General Supply Center, Southwest said, and retired from there.
As for celebrating her 104th birthday, Smith sang the praises of her two friends.

Greinke helps Royals beat Cease, White Sox 5-3
CHICAGO - Zack Greinke worked out of trouble to hold Chicago scoreless into the seventh inning, and the Kansas City Royals beat Dylan Cease and the White Sox 5-3 on Thursday.
Greinke allowed nine hits but didn’t walk a batter, striking out five while throwing 95 pitches in 6 1/3 innings.
The White Sox loaded the bases with no outs on three straight singles in the third, but Grienke struck out Eloy Jimenez and Jose Abreu and induced Yasmani Grandal’s inning-ending grounder.
"I don’t think you’re going to see a pitcher put on a display of tough pitches in a bigger spot than what he did right there with who was coming up," Royals manager Mike Matheny said. "He just found a different level. We’ve seen him do that a couple of times, but I don’t know that it was like that.
"He mixed it up, knowing how to stretch the zone, taking a little off, it was really impressive. He just looked good all day. He had a nice rhythm. It didn’t look like he was working hard today."
Greinke downplayed his performance as usual.
"I didn’t really think about it too much," he said of the third-inning jam. "I was just trying to make some pitches. I got lucky to get out of it."
Vinnie Pasquantino homered and Nicky Lopez had a two-run single for the Royals, who won back-to-back four-game series for the first time since Aug. 11-18, 2014. Kansas City took three of four from visiting Boston before doing the same to Chicago.
Cease (12-5) allowed three hits and one run — on Pasquatino’s homer leading off the second — in six innings as his ERA dropped to 1.96. He has not given up more than one earned run in a game since May 24, a span of 14 starts.
Scott Barlow allowed Andrew Vaughn’s homer in the ninth but closed it out for his 18th save in 21 chances.
Pasquantino hit a 3-2 slider into the Royals’ bullpen in right field, the 10th homer Cease has allowed this season.
"I’m sure if you would ask (Cease) he would have wanted to locate that slider in a different spot," Pasquantino said. "He missed his spot and I was able to take advantage of it."
Lopez put the Royals ahead 3-0 in the seventh with his single against Jose Ruiz, who came on after Joe Kelly allowed two baserunners.
Grandal hit a two-run homer in the eighth against Jose Cuas to get the White Sox within 4-2. Michael A. Taylor had an RBI single for the Royals in the bottom half.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Chicago OF A.J. Pollock was held out of the lineup again Thursday after fouling a ball off his foot Tuesday. Manager Tony La Russa said Pollock was available if necessary, but he would prefer to wait until Friday when the White Sox host Detroit. ... RHP Kelly left with lightheadedness.
UP NEXT
White Sox: Open a weekend series against visiting Detroit on Friday, with RHP Michael Kopech (4-8, 1.98 ERA) facing Tigers LHP Daniel Norris (0-4, 6.90).
Royals: Welcome the major league-best Los Angeles Dodgers for a three-game series starting Friday. The Dodgers will start RHP Tony Gonsolin (13-1, 2.30), while the Royals will hand the ball to LHP Daniel Lynch (4-7, 4.79). | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/greinke-helps-royals-beat-cease-white-sox-5-3 | 2022-08-12T03:58:43Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/greinke-helps-royals-beat-cease-white-sox-5-3 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Smyly stars as Cubs beat Reds in 2nd ‘Field of Dreams’ game
CHICAGO - After the Griffeys played catch in Iowa, Drew Smyly took over.
Smyly struck out nine in five scoreless innings, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Thursday night in Major League Baseball’s second annual "Field of Dreams" game.
Seiya Suzuki reached three times and Nick Madrigal had three hits for Chicago in a throwback ballpark a short walk away from the main field for the beloved 1989 movie. Ian Happ had two hits and drove in a run.
"It’s really magic," Cubs catcher Willson Contreras said of the field. "It has some kind of energy that I think is real."
The night began with Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. and his father emerging from the iconic outfield cornstalks for their own version of a memorable scene from the film, delighting the sellout crowd of 7,823.
"Hey dad, do you wanna have a catch," Junior said.
"I’d like that," Senior said.
The Griffeys then played catch as more parents and children joined them on the field with their own balls and gloves, followed by the Cubs and Reds, dressed in special uniforms inspired by how the franchises looked in the early 20th century.
"What they’ve done here is incredible. ... I think every baseball player should experience this," Reds third baseman Kyle Farmer said.
Backed by Chicago’s three-run first, Smyly (5-6) earned his second straight win. The veteran left-hander allowed four hits and walked two.
Rowan Wick worked the ninth for his seventh save.
Cincinnati dropped its fourth straight game. Matt Reynolds hit a two-run double in the seventh, but the last-place Reds went down in order in the final two innings.
Major League Baseball returned to Dyersville — population of about 4,400 — after its first "Field of Dreams" game was a smashing success. The Chicago White Sox topped the New York Yankees 9-8 on Tim Anderson’s electric homer last year in the first MLB game in Iowa.
But the sequel lacked the drama of the original version. Chicago and Cincinnati dropped out of contention a long time ago, and the Cubs grabbed control right at the start against Nick Lodolo (3-4).
Suzuki and Happ each hit an RBI double in the first, and Nico Hoerner had a run-scoring single. The rally started after Lodolo retired the first two batters.
Madrigal tacked on an RBI single for a 4-0 lead in the fourth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: Contreras appeared to roll his left ankle when he tried to scurry back to second after rounding the bag on Patrick Wisdom’s single in the third. He was tagged out, but he was back behind the plate for the bottom half of the inning.
Reds: 2B Jonathan India (leg contusion) was replaced by Reynolds before the start of the fourth. India was hit on his lower left leg by a pitch in the first.
UP NEXT
Following an off day, the three-game series resumes on Saturday in Cincinnati. Graham Ashcraft (5-2, 3.94 ERA) pitches for the Reds, and fellow right-hander Adrian Sampson (0-3, 3.83 ERA) starts for the Cubs. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/smyly-stars-as-cubs-beat-reds-in-2nd-field-of-dreams-game | 2022-08-12T03:58:49Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/smyly-stars-as-cubs-beat-reds-in-2nd-field-of-dreams-game | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

GEORGETOWN, Del. – The controversy surrounding the confederate flag flying at the Georgetown Historical Society’s Marvel Museum continues as the Town of Georgetown gave the GHS $24,000 in funding on Thursday.
The Georgetown Town Council voted at their last council meeting in July to give the historical society $24,000 in funding for renovations to the Marvel Museum. However, this was with an understanding that a committee would be formed to discuss the future of the confederate flag raised on museum grounds and to eventually reach a consensus on a more appropriate place – possibly inside the museum – to put the flag.
The council also agreed that a Memorandum of Understanding would be signed by all parties involved in the matter to guarantee that the committee would be formed and the confederate flag would eventually be taken down. A recent statement released by the Georgetown Historical Society says that in accordance with the Delaware Gray’s Sons of Confederate Veterans, they do not plan to take the flag down:
“The GHS intends to keep its word to SCV, particularly on the choice of flags to adorn the Memorial, and call on all citizens of good character and good faith to commit to the environment of unity, pluralism, and tolerance demonstrated at the unveiling on May 12, 2007, allowing those who chose to honor their dead to do so with respect for their election, all in furtherance of the advancement of education and history that defines the noble object of GHS.”
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice – a Sussex County organization dedicated to ending racism – sent Georgetown Mayor William West a letter on Tuesday stating that the town council’s funding approval violated a town ordinance. According to the ordinance, all grant applications must be submitted by April 1, reviewed by town officials, and then submitted to a committee for approval.
“In the past, we’ve not had this problem with April first as a deadline,” said West. “It’s always been what it is, is what it is. But with them bringing it up, yeah, we haven’t followed protocol because we haven’t run into a situation where we’ve had such a conflict as we’ve got here. I could read between the lines that this was going to end up in a lawsuit.”
The Georgetown Historical Society’s statement and the letter from the The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice prompted West to void the check initially written for the historical society. West says his decision drew pushback from three Georgetown Town Council members, which ultimately led to the council’s decision to deliver a new check – signed by the three council members – to the historical society Thursday.
“I hate it for the people in the town of Georgetown,” West said. “I hate it for our growing community because when people see things like this taking place, it’s a setback.”
The decision also drew outrage from groups like the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice, who like many in the Georgetown community, and throughout the nation, view the flag as an obvious symbol of racism and disdain towards African-Americans and other racial minorities.
“To fund an institution that is flying a flag and has a memorial that celebrates this racist, horrific state which was the confederacy – these are traitors to America,” said Joseph Lawson, a member and chair within the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice. “Why are we celebrating them and why are we funding an institution that would celebrate them?

Among the vast amount of businesses operating under the Walt Disney Company, Disney Cruise Line has been consistently proving itself as one of the highest-rated by guests across the company’s parks and experiences.
Although the cruise business is still recovering from the pandemic, the future is looking positive, according to Disney executives in a Q3 2022 Results Earnings Call. That positivity comes mainly from the addition of Disney Wish and the release of two sister ships in the coming years.
Disney Cruise Line Business Update
Walt Disney Company is optimistic that Disney Cruise Line can repeat the results it has achieved in the past. The cruise line has historically been one of the highest earners for Walt Disney Company, which is coming back again now with all the ships sailing with increasing occupancy rates.
The impact of the pandemic is still being felt today; while occupancy rates are indeed higher now than they have been since the ships started operating again, they are not sailing at full capacity yet.
Christine McCarthy – Senior Executive Vice President & CFO for the Walt Disney Company: “We’ve always said that that business has been the most severely impacted by COVID in terms of duration of disruption to the business. So we’re still coming out of that, but we are focused on the business recovering.”
Even though the cruise line is still recovering from the pandemic and focuses on bringing full capacity occupancy rates back, the signs are positive.
Bob Chapek – Chief Executive Officer, Walt Disney Company: “Even as our cruise ships and international visitation have yet to fully recover domestic demand at our theme parks continues to be strong and we are seeing continued progress in those businesses still recovering from the pandemic.”
Disney Wish Setting a High Standard
Since her debut on July 14, the innovation that Disney Wish brings to Disney Cruise Line sets the bar very high for the sisterships that are to come, but also for the other ships in the fleet. The vessel is already receiving rave reviews from guests who have sailed on her.
With 40% of guests that have sailed saying they will only sail again with Disney Cruise Line, the cruise line is well positioned to make an even more significant impact in the future.
Christine McCarthy – Senior Executive Vice President & CFO for the Walt Disney Company, said the following: “This is a really interesting comment that we received from our cruise passengers. 40% of them say that they would not have chosen to go on a cruise vacation if it weren’t a Disney Cruise.”
“So we’re a unique product and we’re still a relatively small share of the cruise market and we’re positioned for growth. And the other four ships are all sailing and their occupancy is improving week by week.”
Another positive that LNG-powered, 144,000 gross tons Disney Wish has brought for Disney Cruise Line, and The Walt Disney Company, is the competitive position that the cruise line takes in the industry. That brings the opportunity for the cruise line to generate pricing significantly higher than the industry average.
While this may create a situation where guests may not be able to sail as often as they want, it does make a situation where going on a Disney cruise becomes something special.
With two more ships scheduled to come out in the coming years, in 2024 and 2025, bringing the fleet to seven ships, Disney is looking at positive growth numbers for years to come. That will undoubtedly be music to the ears of executives of the company. | https://www.cruisehive.com/disney-cruise-line-recovery-on-track-newest-ship-leading-the-way/78828 | 2022-08-12T04:04:11Z | cruisehive.com | control | https://www.cruisehive.com/disney-cruise-line-recovery-on-track-newest-ship-leading-the-way/78828 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Dr. Kelvin Adams, who helped guide Saint Louis Public Schools to full accreditation, announced Tuesday he is retiring as superintendent on December 31, 2022, after 14 years of service.
Adams said in a release he wants to give the Board of Education adequate time to plan for the district’s next leader.
“Over the years, we have marked several important milestones, the latest of which was the passage of Proposition S on August 2, 2022. We are extremely grateful for the overwhelmingly positive support for Prop S (87% passage),” Adams said in a release.
“It shows us that voters trust this Board and administration to continue to build momentum and accomplish great things for our students, teachers, and families. Having managed the elected Board’s return to power and the great energy they bring to the position, I am leaving the district in caring and capable hands.”
Adams was hired by the Special Administrative Board that ran SLPS in 2008, and Adams said in a letter to parents and staff on the SLPS website, “I dedicated myself to increasing academic outcomes for students with a commitment to returning to the district to full accreditation. Together we did it.”
“Full accreditation then was a goal. Now it is an expectation. Looking back on our time together, we have accomplished so much more. We have doubled our Pre-K capacity, balanced 13 consecutive budgets, increased graduation rates, and brought unprecedented financial stability to SLPS.
Board President Matt Davis called Adams future departure, “the end of an era.”
“Dr. Adams often says he is, ‘data- driven,’ and he used that talent to analyze information and help change the trajectory of the district. Today, SLPS is fully accredited, due to the leadership of our superintendent and his team,” Davis said.
“SLPS includes some of the top schools in the state. Each of our 62 schools have distinguished themselves through programs and services, and challenged our schools to continue to improve. The district is fiscally strong, and we have the second highest starting salary for teachers in the region. That’s quite a legacy by any standards,” Davis said.
Davis added that a nationwide search for Adams’ replacement will begin in the upcoming weeks.
“What we have built over the past fourteen years is a solid foundation of support for our students, families, and community. I am leaving strong people and programs in place, and I trust them to keep moving SLPS forward,” Adams said.
“We still have a great deal of work that must be accomplished. That list includes focusing on returning students to safe, secure classrooms now that the pandemic appears near its end, continue supporting the efforts of the City-Wide Plan to develop a uniform blueprint of schooling for all students in the city, and approving the next version of the Transformation Plan, which will provide a vision for the future of the district.”
Adams, a former SLPS Human Resources director, came back to St. Louis after serving as chief of staff for the Recovery School District in New Orleans, a district in which 86 percent of students are eligible for free/reduced lunch and 99 percent are of a minority group.
“One of my strengths in the last 10 years is bringing people together to solve problems,” Adams said during a superintendent candidates forum in September 2008.
He was in line to be superintendent in New Orleans but decided to leave and return to St. Louis for this superintendent position.
“St. Louis is unique to me in that it presents a challenge,” Adams said during the forum
As his time with SLPS superintendent nears its end, Adams said, “As I continue to serve the students, families, and staff of Saint Louis Public Schools over the next few months, I do so with a deep sense of pride and humility.” | https://www.stlamerican.com/news/local_news/superintendent-dr-kelvin-adams-to-leave-slps-after-14-years/article_7e3243d0-19dd-11ed-9544-932d5504ad1c.html | 2022-08-12T04:04:12Z | stlamerican.com | control | https://www.stlamerican.com/news/local_news/superintendent-dr-kelvin-adams-to-leave-slps-after-14-years/article_7e3243d0-19dd-11ed-9544-932d5504ad1c.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
NEW YORK — The nation's top public health agency relaxed its COVID-19 guidelines Thursday, dropping the recommendation that Americans quarantine themselves if they come into close contact with an infected person.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said people no longer need to stay at least 6 feet away from others.
The changes, which come more than 2 1/2 years after the start of the pandemic, are driven by a recognition that an estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity, either from being vaccinated or infected, agency officials said.
"The current conditions of this pandemic are very different from those of the last two years," said the CDC's Greta Massetti, an author of the guidelines.
Many places around the country long ago abandoned social distancing and other once-common precautions, but some of the changes could be particularly important for schools, which resume classes this month in many parts of the country.
Perhaps the biggest education-related change is the end of the recommendation that schools do routine daily testing, although that practice can be reinstated in certain situations during a surge in infections, officials said.
The CDC also dropped a "test-to-stay" recommendation, which said students exposed to COVID-19 could regularly test — instead of quarantining at home — to keep attending school. With no quarantine recommendation anymore, the testing option disappeared too.
Masks continue to be recommended only in areas where community transmission is deemed high, or if a person is considered at high risk of severe illness.
School districts across the U.S. have scaled back their COVID-19 precautions in recent weeks even before the latest guidance was issued. Some have promised a return to pre-pandemic schooling.
Masks will be optional in most districts when classes resume this fall, and some of the nation's largest districts have dialed back or eliminated COVID-19 testing requirements.
Public schools in Los Angeles are ending weekly COVID-19 tests, instead making at-home tests available to families, the district announced last week. Schools in North Carolina's Wake County also dropped weekly testing.
Some others have moved away from test-to-stay programs that became unmanageable during surges of the omicron variant last school year.
The American Federation of Teachers, one of the nation's largest teachers unions, said it welcomes the guidance.
"Every educator and every parent starts every school year with great hope, and this year even more so," President Randi Weingarten said. "After two years of uncertainty and disruption, we need as normal a year as possible so we can focus like a laser on what kids need."
The new recommendations prioritize keeping children in school as much as possible, said Joseph Allen, director of Harvard University's healthy building program. Previous isolation policies forced millions of students to stay home from school, he said, even though the virus poses a relatively low risk to young people.
"Entire classrooms of kids had to miss school if they were deemed a close contact," he said. "The closed schools and learning disruption have been devastating."
Others say the CDC is going too far in relaxing its guidelines.
Allowing students to return to school five days after infection, without proof of a negative COVID-19 test, could lead to outbreaks in schools, said Anne Sosin, a public health researcher at Dartmouth College. That could force entire schools to close temporarily if teachers get sick in large numbers, a dilemma that some schools faced last year.
"All of us want a stable school year, but wishful thinking is not the strategy for getting there," she said. "If we want a return to normal in our schools, we have to invest in the conditions for that, not just drop everything haphazardly like we're seeing across the country."
The average numbers of reported COVID-19 cases and deaths have been relatively flat this summer, at around 100,000 cases a day and 300 to 400 deaths.
The CDC previously said that if people who are not up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations come into close contact with a person who tests positive, they should stay home for at least five days. Now the agency says quarantining at home is not necessary, but it urges those people to wear a high-quality mask for 10 days and get tested after five.
The agency continues to say that people who test positive should isolate from others for at least five days, regardless of whether they were vaccinated. CDC officials advise that people can end isolation if they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication and they are without symptoms or the symptoms are improving.
Also on Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration updated its recommendations for how many times people exposed to COVID-19 should test.
Previously, the FDA had advised taking two rapid antigen tests over two or three days to rule out infection. Now the agency recommends three tests.
FDA officials said the change was based on new studies that suggest the old protocol can miss too many infections and result in people spreading the coronavirus, especially if they don't develop symptoms. | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/cdc-drops-quarantine-distancing-recommendations-for-covid/article_c8cfccb8-19de-11ed-97ca-370b3c63a8cf.html | 2022-08-12T04:05:35Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/cdc-drops-quarantine-distancing-recommendations-for-covid/article_c8cfccb8-19de-11ed-97ca-370b3c63a8cf.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants taxpayers to foot his legal bills as he defends himself against a workplace sexual harassment claim — and he’s suing the state’s attorney general over it.
Cuomo filed the suit against Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday. He’s arguing that James violated state law by denying him public assistance for his defense.
In April — shortly after James held a news conference where she called Cuomo a “serial sexual harasser” and “sick pathetic man,” the suit says — she denied the ex-governor’s request for representation. James’ position is in violation of laws providing protections for Cuomo when the allegations stem from a time when “he was acting within the scope of his employment or duties,” the suit says.
The unnamed trooper filed the lawsuit earlier this year asking a federal court to find that Cuomo and others violated her civil rights. The suit seeks damages for “severe mental anguish and emotional distress”
Cuomo, the once-powerful Democrat who earned accolades for his response to the COVID-19 outbreak, resigned last year after an investigation by James found he sexually harassed nearly a dozen women and that he and aides worked to retaliate against one of his accusers. Those accusers included the trooper on his security detail, who said he allegedly subjected her to sexual remarks and on occasion ran his hand or fingers across her stomach and her back.
The Cuomo suit called James’ investigation “deeply flawed, misleading and one-sided.”
James responded to Cuomo’s claim that she’s abusing her authority regarding his legal defense costs with a statement saying, “Sexually harassing young women who work for you is not part of anyone’s job description.”
She added: “Taxpayers should not have to pony up for legal bills that could reach millions of dollars so Mr. Cuomo’s lawyer can attack survivors of his abuse.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/cuomo-taxpayers-should-pay-sexual-harassment-legal-bills/article_1f87e184-19d6-11ed-b939-33b76bcd8977.html | 2022-08-12T04:05:41Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/cuomo-taxpayers-should-pay-sexual-harassment-legal-bills/article_1f87e184-19d6-11ed-b939-33b76bcd8977.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is asking a federal court to unseal the warrant the FBI used to search the Mar-a-Lago estate of former President Donald Trump, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday, acknowledging extraordinary public interest in the case about classified records.
The request is striking because such documents traditionally remain sealed during a pending investigation. But the Justice Department appeared to recognize that its silence since the search had created a vacuum for bitter verbal attacks by Trump and his allies, and that the public was entitled to the FBI’s side about what prompted Monday’s action at the former president’s home.
“The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of unsealing,” said a motion filed in federal court in Florida on Thursday.
Should the warrant be released — the request is now with the judge, and Trump can object — it could disclose unflattering information about the former president and about FBI scrutiny of his handling of sensitive government documents right as he prepares for another run for the White House. During his successful 2016 campaign, he pointed frequently to an FBI investigation into his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, over whether she mishandled classified information.
It’s unclear at this point how much information would be included in the documents, if made public, or if they would encompass an FBI affidavit that would presumably lay out a detailed factual basis for the search. The department specifically requested the unsealing of the warrant as well as a property receipt listing the items that were seized, along with two unspecified attachments.
To obtain a search warrant, federal authorities must prove to a judge that probable cause exists to believe that a crime was committed. Garland said he personally approved the warrant, a decision he said the department did not take lightly given that standard practice where possible is to select less intrusive tactics than a search of one’s home.
Neither Trump nor the FBI has said anything about what documents the FBI might have recovered, or what precisely agents were looking for. But the former president complained anew Thursday about the search.
Trump, who for years has lambasted the FBI and sought to sow distrust among his supporters in its decisions, said the warrant was served and the search conducted despite his cooperation with the Justice Department over the search.
In a post to his Truth Social platform, Trump said that his “attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully” prior to the search, and that government officials “could have had whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, if we had it.”
The Justice Department has until Friday afternoon to alert the judge about whether Trump will object to the release.
FBI and Justice Department policy cautions against discussing ongoing investigations, both to protect the integrity of probes and to avoid unfairly maligning someone who is being scrutinized but winds up ultimately not being charged. That’s especially true in the case of search warrants, where supporting court papers are routinely kept secret as the investigation proceeds.
In this case, though, Garland cited the fact that Trump himself had provided the first public confirmation of the FBI search, “as is his right.” The Justice Department, in its new filing, also said that disclosing information about it now would not harm the court’s functions.
Even so, Garland, in a hastily scheduled public statement delivered from the Justice Department podium, appeared to acknowledge the unusual nature of the department’s request as he declined to take questions or provide any substantive details about the FBI’s investigation.
“Much of our work is by necessity conducted out of the public eye. We do that to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans and to protect the integrity of our investigations,” he said. “Federal law, longstanding department rules and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time.”
The Justice Department under Garland has been leery of public statements about politically charged investigations, or of confirming to what extent it might be investigating Trump as part of a broader probe into the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The department has tried to avoid being seen as injecting itself into presidential politics, as happened in 2016 when then-FBI Director James Comey made an unusual public statement announcing that the FBI would not be recommending criminal charges against Clinton regarding her handling of email — and when he spoke up again just over a week before the election to notify Congress that the probe was being effectively reopened because of the discovery of new emails.
The Mar-a-Lago search warrant was served Monday was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump’s home in Palm Beach, Florida, earlier this year. The National Archives had asked the department to investigate after saying that classified records were found in 15 boxes of records that it retrieved from the estate. Multiple federal laws govern the handling of classified information.
The attorney general condemned verbal attacks on FBI and Justice Department personnel over the search. Some Republican allies of Trump have called for the FBI to be defunded, and large numbers of Trump supporters have called for the warrant to be released because they believe it will show that Trump was wrongly targeted.
“I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked,” Garland said of federal law enforcement agents, calling them “dedicated, patriotic public servants.”
Earlier Thursday, an armed man wearing body armor tried to breach a security screening area at an FBI field office in Ohio, then fled and was later killed after a standoff with law enforcement. | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/garland-asks-court-to-unseal-warrant-for-mar-a-lago-search/article_29df4668-19c7-11ed-b357-4f87af07e126.html | 2022-08-12T04:05:47Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/garland-asks-court-to-unseal-warrant-for-mar-a-lago-search/article_29df4668-19c7-11ed-b357-4f87af07e126.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Niagara County Clerk Joseph A. Jastrzemski this week issued a reminder to residents who are planning to submit an application for a pistol permit: Turn in the paperwork by Aug. 31 or start the process over when a new state law takes effect on Sept. 1.
A new pistol permit application, formulated by New York State Police, will be in use as of Sept. 1, per legislation signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul last month that among other things will require pistol permit applicants to divulge their social media accounts.
“There are a lot of unanswered questions and significant concerns about this state legislation but the one thing we know for sure is that the current applications cannot be accepted after August 31,” Jastrzemski said. “So, if you started your application and it’s laying at home on your desk, I highly recommend you complete it and get it submitted right away.”
The current application will be distributed and processed by the county clerk's office through the end of the month. “All applications in the system by August 31 will follow the current permit process,” Jastrzemski said.
Also through Aug. 31, the pistol permit office will be open five days a week, he added. Usually the office is closed on Wednesdays. | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/county-clerk-pistol-permit-application-change-takes-effect-sept-1/article_19bac520-19cf-11ed-83ee-5ba71caad57f.html | 2022-08-12T04:05:53Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/county-clerk-pistol-permit-application-change-takes-effect-sept-1/article_19bac520-19cf-11ed-83ee-5ba71caad57f.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
MEDINA — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer on Thursday visited Baxter Healthcare to announce a two-pronged plan to relieve the microchip shortage that is curtailing the company’s efforts to produce lifesaving medical equipment.
During most of July, the majority of Baxter’s 300 employees were furloughed with pay, due to disrupted production, said Stacey Eisen, senior vice president of communications.
In a press conference with Schumer, Baxter’s CEO Jose Almeida said if they don’t get the chips they need within the next four weeks, they will be looking at another furlough.
Baxter makes infusion pumps which are used to treat COVID-19 and other illnesses, but the ongoing supply chain crisis for semiconductors has bottlenecked production, threatening healthcare providers’ ability to obtain the equipment.
Schumer said he is working with Texas Instruments, one of the main suppliers of microchips for Baxter’s infusion pumps, to help prioritize and deliver orders from essential medical treatment companies like Baxter. It’s a short-term fix, he said.
In the long term, he said, the CHIPS Act, which was just signed into law by President Joe Biden on Tuesday, will provide federal incentives to bring manufacturing back to the United States — and upstate New York — and this will help ease the country’s “long-term supply chain woes.”
“We have more shovel-ready sites than anywhere else in the country, and one is right across the border in Genesee County,” Schumer said, referring to the nascent Science & Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park in the town of Alabama. “My CHIPS and science bill, which just passed, is just what the doctor ordered ... . We should be making semiconductors in Batavia, not Beijing.”
The intent of the CHIPS Act is to revive American manufacturing of semiconductors and reduce dependence on foreign supplies, Schumer said. Currently, only 12% of chips are manufactured domestically, compared to 37% in the 1990s. Nearly 75% of global semiconductor production is now in East Asia and foreign government subsidies drive the majority of the cost difference for producing semiconductors overseas, he added.
The new law authorized $39 billion in federal incentives to build, expand or modernize domestic facilities and equipment for semiconductor fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging or research and development to attract major chip manufacturers to shovel-ready sites. Other investments include $111 billion for Department of Commerce research and development, and creation of a National Semiconductor Technology Center, as well as creation of a new investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing facilities and equipment.
Baxter manufacturers 100,000 infusion pumps annually, and 70 chips are needed for each one, Almeida said.
Baxter has been operating in Medina since 2012, in addition to operating an office, research and development center and manufacturing plant in Skaneateles Falls for 69 years. | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/schumer-touts-chips-acts-promise-in-visit-to-baxter-healthcare-plant/article_4bd0f996-19d7-11ed-bcea-8f315d4de05a.html | 2022-08-12T04:06:00Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/schumer-touts-chips-acts-promise-in-visit-to-baxter-healthcare-plant/article_4bd0f996-19d7-11ed-bcea-8f315d4de05a.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The section of Griswold Road between Mountain and Graham roads in Middleport will be closed beginning Aug. 22 for culvert replacement, the county Department of Public Works announced.
The section will be closed to all motorists except local traffic, for a period of two to three weeks, according to public works Commissioner Garret Meal.
Culvert replacement work should be completed in early October.
“We appreciate the public’s patience as we continue to maintain our core infrastructure, in this case, keeping this culvert functioning hydraulically and ensuring it is structurally safe,” Meal said. | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/section-of-griswold-road-middleport-will-be-closed-for-culvert-replacement/article_ec375c46-19d1-11ed-98f0-dbe2b065b6a6.html | 2022-08-12T04:06:06Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/section-of-griswold-road-middleport-will-be-closed-for-culvert-replacement/article_ec375c46-19d1-11ed-98f0-dbe2b065b6a6.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

LLSWS displays the growth of softball globally
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) -The Little League Softball World Series continues and is bringing young girls from all across the world together for a week to share a common interest.
Softball has been on the rise over the last few years, but some feel that it is one of the most under-appreciated sports.
Young women are flocking to the sport more than ever and coaches credit that to the chance to play on the big stage.
“We’re having more teams than we’ve ever had at the younger age, 6u, 8u, 10u so the big thing is to be able to keep them in it,” said Team North Carolina softball travel coach, Jeff Gaddis. “Having this 12u World Series for Little League is going to do that because they want the opportunity to play too.”
Not only is the sport growing nationally, but girls from different countries are also putting on a mitt.
Team Latin America supporter, Felipe Zollazo says the College World Series is what grew his granddaughter’s love for the game.
“My granddaughter started about three years ago, watching on TV,” Zollazo said. “And she said, I want to be like them.”
There are 12 teams competing for an opportunity to walk away as world champions and some people think that is all the more motivation for young girls to play.
“You should definitely shoot for something like this even if you think you can’t,” said Team Carolina fan, Aiden Coats. “You should always tryout.”
Thousands of fans have come to Greenville to cheer on these young women and believe that the sport is on the upswing.
“Softball is taking off and that’s really cool to see,” Gaddis said.

With the new school year just around the corner, fall activities are on the way. The Fergus Falls Kennedy Secondary School athletic department held an informational meeting on Aug. 10, keeping student athletes and parents abreast on rules and regulations pertaining to the registration for co-curricular activities and other tidbits for the upcoming school year.
For those who have not registered for a fall activity, it is not too late, but it is suggested that it is taken care of ASAP. Those who are looking to register, the student athlete must have a current sports physical and also be enrolled for school, first.
Registration can be done online, through the fergusotters.org website. After accessing the activities tab at the top of the page, a new screen will prompt you to the new activities website, where a step by step guide will get your started on getting signed up. Scrolling down the page, there will be a “register here” button that will bring you to a new page. You will know you are in the right place when there is a page with a red soccer ball that you can click on. Those who have previously registered a student athlete, you will be able to login with your username and password. First timers will be able to set up an account. The website will walk you through the process of registering your student athlete, keep note that once done, you will need to make sure to confirm your email within 30 days or the account will expire (an email will be sent to you to activate your account).
Also addressed during the meeting was the encouragement of the students athletes to discuss any issues they may have with their respective coach, not having the parent come forward first. “We have a very supportive parent community. When we follow the process, things tend to work out very well,” stated Derek Abrahams, KSS activities director.
Parents and guardians can keep track of the latest game changes and updates. Click on the activity calendar at fergusotters.org/activities. You can view the weekly schedule and individual team calendars and also get text notifications of changes, just click on the “notify me” button below the calendar and sign up for up to the minute updates.
The activities office will also be utilizing a weekly newsletter, sent out on Monday mornings. This will include scores from the prior week, sports news, upcoming information on themes, special events and more. It is not just for parents and guardians but for the community as well.
Student athletes are expected to be in school and on time. If class time is missed, the individual will not be allowed to practice or play in a game that day, with the exception of a doctor's appointment.
There will still be the utilization of electronic ticketing, but cash and credit card will always be available. Family passes will be $250 annually. Individual $125 annually. Punch card 10 games for the price of eight will be offered. High school student athletes grades 9-12 get annual passes for free.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has announced that a request from Gov. Tim Walz, relating to a major disaster declaration for 23 Northern Minnesota counties impacted by tornadoes and flooding on May 29 and 30, was approved by President Joe Biden on Aug. 10.
The disaster declaration has been approved for Aitkin, Big Stone, Cass, Chippewa, Crow Wing, Douglas, Grant, Itasca, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Nobles, Pine, Pope, Renville, Rock, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wadena and Yellow Medicine counties.
FEMA, in a press release, stated that with the approval, federal funding will now be made available to state, tribal and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding.
In a prepared statement, Walz said, “This spring’s severe weather devastated homes and businesses across our state – but we continue to work with our partners at the local and federal levels to recover. I’m grateful for this assistance as we work to rebuild.”
This federal disaster declaration unlocks public assistance for these counties and tribal nations to assist with emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster damaged facilities.
The Memorial Day storm that rolled through the community of Elbow Lake and other parts of Grant and Douglas Counties on Memorial Day, May 30, knocked down power lines and trees, causing extensive damage.
The clubhouse at the nearby Tipsinah Mounds Golf Course was leveled and destroyed by the tornado and that the National Weather Service has confirmed the storm that moved through the area as an EF2 tornado. At the time, according to Grant County Sheriff Mark Haberer, the best part was that no one was injured in any aspect of the storm.
In addition, there were numerous grain bins and sheds that were destroyed and thrown like tin cans in fields surrounding Elbow Lake. Residents on Point Comfort Road on the southern shore witnessed downed power poles and lines toppled over with trees that had been ripped from the ground. Electrical power was not turned back on for most homes on the point until late on June 2.
Brian F. Schiller has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal response operations for the affected areas.

Kottayam: Senior Kerala politician P C George on Thursday courted controversy by making alleged distasteful remarks against the survivor in the actress sexual assault case involving actor Dileep, saying it was she who has benefited as she got more opportunities in movies after the incident.
While answering a question during a press meet here, he even mocked the use of "survivor" while referring to the case.
"The survivor is getting several films now...I don't think she suffered any loss after the issue. The loss which she had suffered in life as a woman might be huge, if the said incident was true. But, my belief is that she got benefits in other areas," George alleged.
The senior politician also slammed reporters who questioned his unsavoury remarks during the press conference at the press club here.
The former MLA had earlier also made alleged distasteful statements against the survivor and openly extended support to Dileep, the eighth accused in the sensational case.
George was arrested recently in a sexual assault case and over hate speech against the Muslim community.
According to police, the actress, who has worked in Tamil and Telugu films besides Malayalam, was abducted and allegedly molested inside her car for two hours by the accused, who had forced their way into the vehicle on the night of February 17, 2017 and later escaped in a busy area.
The entire act was filmed by the accused to blackmail the actress. There are ten accused in the case and initially, police arrested seven people.
