SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The C-3 Forest Park policing unit held a “Meet the Cops” even in Springfield Saturday.
It was held over at the Food Zone Supermarket on Belmont Ave. The main goal was for the unit to get to know the members of the community and hear their concerns. Officers were handing out information and trying to foster positive relationships with residents and school aged children in the area.
22News spoke to Springfield Police Department’s Sgt. Johnson about Saturday night’s effort to reach out to the community.
“It’s just a good way to be able to interact with the community in a non-normal, typical police action,” said Sgt. Johnson. “It’s really just about addressing any concerns with the people and hear some issues that they might have in the neighborhood. Being able to answer those questions and us being able to give them information about our C-3 unit.”
This is one of the many events that local law enforcement have held to meet the community they serve and address their concerns. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/local-news/hampden-county/springfield-police-department-unit-holds-meet-the-cops-event/ | 2022-09-04T01:41:00Z | wwlp.com | control | https://www.wwlp.com/news/local-news/hampden-county/springfield-police-department-unit-holds-meet-the-cops-event/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
While most spend Labor Day weekend desperately squeezing one last drop of summer out of the calendar, it’s go time for the Television Academy. The Creative Arts Emmys are a two-night affair honoring the best in American prime-time television from categories that are not always top of mind but still fun to follow. Will Barack Obama win outstanding narrator for his work on Our Great National Parks, or will David Attenborough’s work on The Mating Game play spoiler? There are also the guest-actor categories at hand, promising potential acceptance speeches from Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, and more.
The first night of the ceremonies, held at Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theater, kicks off at 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 3, and runs until 7:15 p.m. Then everyone catches their breath (or attends the Governors Gala in a plaza beside the Los Angeles Convention Center) and prepares to do it all over again on Sunday. The ceremonies will be edited and televised on FXX on Saturday, September 10, at 8 p.m. The broadcast will be available on Hulu the following day. The main 2022 Emmy ceremony, hosted by Kenan Thompson, will be broadcast live on Monday, September 12. You can catch up on the full list of 2022 Emmy nominations before the big event.
Presenters at this year’s Creative Arts Emmys include W. Kamau Bell, Colman Domingo, Marcia Gay Harden, Randy Rainbow, Judd Apatow, and RuPaul.
Leading the nominations in Creative Arts categories are Succession and Euphoria, tied at 13; Hacks and Stranger Things, tied at 12; Only Murders in the Building at 11; and Ted Lasso at 10.
There are approximately 400,000 awards to hand out, so let’s get down to it, shall we? As winners are announced they will be moved to the top of each category's nominees and highlighted in triumphant bold.

The ultimate point of Paul Schrader’s pensive and peculiar new film, Master Gardener, may not be a fabulously coiffed Sigourney Weaver leveling a Luger pistol at a reformed Neo-Nazi in the sitting room of her plantation mansion—but it sure does register potently. Weaver, in a collection of fashionably prim outfits, cuts through this modest film with electric verve. As Norma Haverhill, an heiress to a family estate and its prized flower gardens, Weaver is at her flinty finest; it’s the kind of role she’s had far too little of this century.
She isn’t the main focus of the film, though. While we wonder why Norma’s dear departed daddy had a Third Reich collectible in the first place, the film’s bigger question is that of Narvel Roth (Joel Edgerton). He’s the titular horticulturist, who manages the property’s well-kept grounds.
Narvel is calm, confident, knowledgeable, but there’s a haunt in his eyes. Like the hero of Schrader’s last film, the coolly mesmerizing The Card Counter, Narvel has a bitterly regretted past, one he’s trying to atone for by lovingly and conscientiously tending to a little patch of earth. Schrader shows us what’s plaguing Narvel pretty early on in the film. Undressing in his caretaker’s cottage one evening, Narvel reveals his shirtless torso, covered in white supremacist tattoos.
Narvel was a bad guy once, and Master Gardener depicts the slow work of his becoming a better one. Edgerton, with a sonorous, Sean Penn-esque growl, makes a compelling case for his character’s newfound decency. Narvel carries himself with a practiced, world-weary gentility. He’s caring but firm with Norma, who knows about his past and seems to dangle it in front of him as both threat and perverse foreplay. This is all, we are subtly reminded, taking place on what was likely once a slave plantation. Schrader considers these white people as they stand in the wreckage of their history—their own and their country’s—with a dispassionate, analytical gaze.
The value of such a narrative will likely depend on the beholder. Master Gardener does not issue its own proclamations or moral judgments. The film recognizes the horror and cruelty of Narvel’s past, but it is primarily concerned with imagining what might lie after that ideology has been forsaken. Is there redemption for such a man?
Narvel’s tightly held equilibrium is disturbed by the arrival of Maya (Quintessa Swindell), a grand-niece of Norma’s who has been hired as a gardening apprentice in the hopes that it will rescue her from a troubled existence. Her mother, now dead, was a drug addict, a disease passed on to her daughter. Maya is half-Black, which no doubt complicates Norma’s view of her. That’s never said outright in the film, but it’s certainly a part of the tension that hangs over every interaction between the two women—a sense of unspoken difference, of latent mistrust.
Norma confides to Narvel that she hopes Maya might one day take over the gardens; she wants to keep the family legacy alive after she’s gone. Which implies, to some extent anyway, that Norma is trying to transcend old prejudices, but only conditionally. That is the arresting ambiguity of Schrader’s film, this portrait of people existing in uncertain dialogue with the context they were born into. Narvel and Norma are peers on a spectrum, while Maya seems to represent a way out.
Which isn’t exactly fair to Maya, just as it isn’t for any person of color held up as a token of white people’s enlightenment. Schrader seems aware of that undue burden, even if he perhaps too blithely pushes Narvel and Maya together. Violence eventually enters the picture, as it so often does in Schrader’s films, which brings Master Gardener perilously close to admiring Narvel’s lethal skills. Schrader pulls back, though, before things get too Taken. Betterment is not earned with a gun (or with pruning shears), but with the determined choice to walk away from the cycle—to disavow it in both word and, more importantly, deed.
Much of Master Gardener is disarmingly placid. It’s a warmer, more optimistic film than one might expect, even if it does at times creak with the antiquated perspective of a stalwart septuagenarian filmmaker unwilling to shake off some of the past’s bad habits. Maybe Master Gardener is just some old white guy minimizing racism as malleable character flaw. (In the individual and in the body politic.) But I think Schrader is on a sharper, more salient tack than that. He is investigating one microcosm, one little terrarium, in which the system is being questioned and resolutely challenged. If Narvel’s journey out of the rot can be cultivated to full bloom, then maybe many others elsewhere can be, too. Bit by bit, change may happen in true and tangible ways.
All that said, such an assessment of Master Gardener could risk over-thought. This is a spare film, crisply performed and quietly staged. Weaver’s crackling grande dame imperiousness—menacing and strangely pitiable—may be enough to carry the viewer away. But Schrader at least wants to prickle in us an awareness of where it is, exactly, we’re being carried to. | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/master-gardener-movie-review | 2022-09-04T01:50:03Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/master-gardener-movie-review | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Mets ace Max Scherzer left Saturday’s game against the Nationals at Citi Field early after just 67 pitches.
Scherzer entered into the Mets dugout after pitching for five innings with his head down. The 38-year-old starter had allowed just earned one run against one of his former teams.
Jeremy Hefner, a Mets pitching coach, trailed behind him into the tunnel.
The three-time Cy Young winner dealt with an oblique injury in May and returned in early July.
Scherzer has a 2.27 ERA in 122 2/3 total innings pitched this season. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/mets-ace-leaves-game-early-looking-distraught/ | 2022-09-04T01:52:27Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/mets-ace-leaves-game-early-looking-distraught/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
To him, dad was not so ordinary a hero.
The son of late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins performed onstage in memory of his father Saturday night.
Sixteen-year-old Oliver Shane Hawkins played drums on “My Hero” at the “Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert.” in London.
Images of father and son were displayed on screens for the stadium to see as the song began, revealing the teen behind the drumset.
Musicians from around the world gathered in support of Hawkins, with various artists playing songs from Foo Fighters’ vast catalog.
Some musicians who joined the tribute were Blink-182’s Travis Barker, The Darkness’ Rufus Tiger Taylor, Wolfgang Van Halen and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl’s daughter Violet.
The tribute opened with former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher performing his band’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” and “Live Forever,” backed by the Foo Fighters with Grohl on drums, Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett on guitar and Nate Mendel on bass.
Later, Grohl was seen breaking into tears as the singer performed “Times Like These.”
Hawkins died in Bogota, Colombia, on March 25 due to a cardiovascular collapse at the age of 50.
He left behind his wife Alison Hawkins and three children — Oliver Shane, Annabelle Hawkins, 13, and 8-year-old Everleigh Hawkins. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/taylor-hawkins-son-oliver-shane-plays-drums-during-foo-fighters-tribute/ | 2022-09-04T01:52:34Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/taylor-hawkins-son-oliver-shane-plays-drums-during-foo-fighters-tribute/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Victoria Azarenka reached the US Open Round of 16 for the seventh time in her career with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Petra Martic on Saturday.
The No.26 seed Azarenka, a three-time US Open finalist in 2012, 2013 and 2020, took 1 hour and 21 minutes to defeat 54th-ranked Martic, who was seeking her third trip to the US Open Round of 16 in the last four years.
2022 US Open: Scores | Order of play | Draw
Words from the winner: "I felt like I started very solid and I kind of kept my foot on the gas pedal and just really kept raising my intensity, game after game," Azarenka said after her win.
"I felt that I played really good in also important moments. On break points I really took my chances, was really effective from defense to offense, kind of changing and shifting the game from one, two shots. I think that worked really well."
Fast facts: This was the first meeting between tour veterans Azarenka and Martic in a decade, with 33-year-old Azarenka improving to 2-0 against 31-year-old Martic. Azarenka had handily won their only previous match on the indoor hard courts of Linz in 2012.

Two-time Australian Open champion Azarenka is one of seven active players with more than 100 Grand Slam main-draw wins. Forty-four of those have come at the US Open. Among players in this year’s draw, only Serena Williams and Venus Williams have more match-wins in Flushing Meadows.
Match breakdown: Martic, a former Top 15 player, defeated a Top 5 player for the fourth time in her career in the previous round when she upset No.4 seed Paula Badosa, but she could not oust another seed.
Azarenka had 22 winners in the match, doubling Martic's 11, and converted five of her 11 break points.
After an early exchange of breaks in the opening set, Azarenka notched the decisive lead by converting her fifth break point of a lengthy game with an error-forcing forehand to lead 4-2.
Martic upped the ante with frequent trips into the net, but Azarenka executed deft passes when she needed to and reeled off 10 of the last 11 games to clinch victory.

Pliskova overcomes Bencic
In the fourth round, Azarenka will take on another former World No.1, Karolina Pliskova. 2016 US Open runner-up Pliskova, seeded 22nd, outlasted No.13 seed Belinda Bencic 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in a two-and-a-half-hour tussle on Saturday evening.
Bencic led by a set and a break at 7-5, 2-0, but Pliskova methodically took charge of the affair from there, bolstering her powerful serves and groundstrokes with some of her most impressive movement and defense to date.
The third set saw Pliskova lead by a break at 3-1 and 4-2, but last year's Olympic gold medalist Bencic steered back on serve after each of those occasions. However, Pliskova chased down everything Bencic threw at her in the next game to break once again and serve for the match.
Following five consecutive breaks, Pliskova finally put the server back in the driver's seat, as she fired forehand winners on the last two points to seal victory.
Bencic finished the match with four more winners than Pliskova, but Pliskova was cleaner with 30 unforced errors to Bencic's 42. Pliskova also won 67 percent of her first-service points, 10 percent more effective than Bencic was behind that shot.
Azarenka and Pliskova will now meet in a blockbuster clash for a spot in the US Open quarterfinals. Their head-to-head is all square at four wins apiece, but they will be facing off for the first time in over three years. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779115/azarenka-sweeps-into-us-open-round-of-16-faces-pliskova-next | 2022-09-04T01:54:01Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779115/azarenka-sweeps-into-us-open-round-of-16-faces-pliskova-next | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
NEW YORK -- When Zhang Shuai thinks back to the first chapter of her career, one that saw her go winless in her first 14 Slam appearances, the affable 33-year-old could only laugh.
"This year, I already have three third rounds," Zhang said after her third-round win at the US Open. "Oh my god, I won six matches! Before I couldn't win one match in many, many years. How happy!"
With her run to the Round of 16 at the US Open, the Chinese veteran has now made the second week at all four majors. It's easy to forget that six years ago she had one foot out the door.
Zhang had thoughts of retiring and opening a café at the end of 2015 when her friend Sam Stosur convinced her to give it one more try. Zhang snapped her Slam drought with a win against No.2 Simona Halep in the first round of the 2016 Australian Open, where she went on to make the quarterfinals.
"That's why when we meet some player who wants to stop or feeling sad after the match, I always tell them next match, see how you are better," Zhang said. "When I started the tour, how bad [were my] results? No one was badder than me. [These girls] much better than me, right? You guys are still young. Keep trying."
Since then she has won two Grand Slam doubles titles with Stosur and nearly jumped to No.1 in doubles this summer before Gauff sealed it for herself by winning the Toronto title. This season in singles, Zhang has excelled, particularly on quicker surfaces.
She won her third career title on the indoor courts of Lyon and made her first WTA 1000 quarterfinal in four years in Cincinnati, defeating Naomi Osaka and Anett Kontaveit.
"I think her and Ons [Jabeur] are probably one of the most liked people on tour," Gauff said. "You never really meet someone who dislikes her. I got to play doubles with her. I played her in Miami Open. That was tough. I think I won in straight sets, but it was a tough match.
"She congratulated me when I was No.1, even though I took it from her. So that's what sticks out about me. I'm just happy that tennis has someone like her in the sport."
The US Open has been a historic one for the Chinese players. Along with Zhang, Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xiyu and Yuan Yue have advanced to the third round, the first time four Chinese women have made it that far at a Slam in the Open Era. On the men's side, Wu Yibing became the first Chinese man to make the third round of a major.
Zheng Qinwen leads Chinese quartet making history at US Open
As the oldest of the bunch, Zhang was asked if she feels like a mentor to the younger set.
"No, I'm good friends with everyone," Zhang said. "I'm trying to not think about my age. At Wimbledon in the second week when I was going to practice and I wanted to take a basket of balls. They said I'm sorry, we don't give juniors this basket.
"See? I look even younger."
But with age comes wisdom, and Zhang offers a keen perspective on how the game and the tour has changed over the years. Among the young Chinese players, like 19-year-old Zheng, who is primed for a breakthrough or 21-year-old Wang, who became China's first junior girls' champion at 2018 US Open, Zhang is the first to celebrate the improved professionalism among them.
"First time I reached main draw at 2008 US Open, I played Kuznetsova," Zhang said. "She's No.2 or 3, for sure I have nothing to beat her. I come alone, I have no coach, no team. I don't know anything. I was just a new person coming to here. Now the [18-year-olds] have a team. They have coach, physio, fitness coach, family."
Contrasting it to her own experience of coming to the US Open for the first time 15 years ago, Zhang said all she had was a passport and $1,000 dollars from the national team, which was handed off to her at the airport.
"How can I beat a Top 3 player? Impossible, right? Even when I'm on the court, when I lose a point or win a point, I don't know who I'm looking for because I'm alone.
"So totally different. This is why so many young players can play good because they are already so professional."
Whether it's Gauff or Zheng, Zhang marvels at the talent among the younger set. After facing Zheng at a lower-level tournament in Dubai last year, Zhang walked away thoroughly impressed by the teenager's powerful game.
"This is why I didn't go back to China to play the national tournament because I have no chance," Zhang said, jokingly.
"I'm not surprised they can do this because in China [there are] so many great players. But because the last two years with Covid or National Games or we go back and have to quarantine, a lot of tournaments they didn't play. They didn't come and travel and join the tour. That's why the last two years it looks like Chinese tennis is going down or not a lot of high-ranking players.
"But it doesn't mean we don't have good ones. We have so many good ones. So for sure they did a great job and we have a lot and maybe more coming." | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779480/for-zhang-shuai-with-age-comes-wisdom-and-results | 2022-09-04T01:54:02Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779480/for-zhang-shuai-with-age-comes-wisdom-and-results | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Solitary confinement is a cruel and dehumanizing practice long utilized in the California prison system.
Assembly Bill 2632, introduced by Assemblyman Christ Holden, D-Pasadena, fortunately cleared both chambers of the California Legislature. If enacted, the law would cap periods in solitary confinement to 15 consecutive days and 45 days in a six-month period. It would also prohibit the use of solitary against people 25 years of age or younger, 60 years of age or older, as well as people who with a mental or physical disability or who are pregnant or have recently given birth.
“This is a human rights issue,” said Holden in support of the bill. “Aside from the fact that solitary confinement only diminishes the prospects of successful rehabilitation, there are large bodies of research linking solitary confinement to self-harm, the deterioration of one’s mental health and even suicide.”
Holden is absolutely right. It’s not being “soft-on-crime” or “soft-on-criminals” to treat people imprisoned by the state humanely. It’s the right thing to do, from a humane perspective as well as a public safety perspective. People should be exiting prisons better off, not worse off, than when they entered.
In my first foray into journalism more than a decade ago, I wrote extensively about the state of California’s extensive use of solitary confinement. At the time, back in July 2011, there were 1,100 prisoners in Pelican Bay State Prison’s “Security Housing Unit,” where prisoners were trapped for sometimes decades at a time in isolation.
“Of them, over 513 have served 10 or more years in the SHU, and of those 513, 78 have been in the SHU for 20 or more years,” I wrote. “In addition, 544 SHU inmates have been there for more than five but less than 10 years.”
Disproportionate numbers of suicides in California prisons take place in isolation units, especially when mentally troubled individuals are placed in isolation for protracted periods of time.
I will personally never forget the story of Armando Cruz, whose story I told in 2013. Armando, who suffered from psychotic issues starting when he was a teenager, obviously needed help, but was routinely placed in isolation while imprisoned for a crime he committed while having a psychotic episode. His psychosis predictably worsened and he committed suicide in 2011.
Earlier this year, a federal judge determined the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation continued to violate the rights of prisoners, in violation of a settlement agreement seven years ago intended to reduce the use of solitary confinement and ensure prisoners received due process.
“Judge Claudia Wilken found that CDCR is relying on inaccurate and even fabricated confidential information to place individuals in solitary confinement, using dubious gang affiliations to deny them a fair opportunity for parole, and holding them in a restricted unit in the general population without adequate procedural safeguards,” announced the Center for Constitutional Rights in a February press release.
Clearly, legislation is needed to further constrain the abuses going on in California’s prisons.
It is unfortunate that California Republicans decided to use their irrelevant position in the Legislature to oppose AB 2632. Republicans need to start backing up their talk about respecting individual and constitutional rights.
Likewise, a number of so-called “moderate” Democrats like Bob Hertzberg, Josh Newman, Richard Roth, James Ramos, Cottie Petrie-Norris and Dave Min, who is only in the state Senate thanks to the prison guards union, declined to even take a position on the whether or not to restrict torture in the prison system.
Newsom should sign Assembly Bill 2632, dubbed the Mandela Act, to curtail the barbaric practice of solitary confinement.
Sal Rodriguez can be reached at salrodriguez@scng.com. He previously worked with Solitary Watch to report on the use and abuse of solitary confinement across the United States.

“We took a page from a number of celebratory events to create a unique and personalized night with our Camping World Drag Racing Series event winners,” said Christie Meyer Johnson, Texas Motorplex co-owner. “We are thrilled to be honoring Justin, Ron, Greg and Matt and to give fans the chance to enjoy a special night with these winners. We let the drivers select their favorite foods for the menu and we will have special gifts for all attendees. This is a tradition we hope to build on for years to come.”
In addition to recognizing the previous year’s winners, all prior FallNationals professional champions have been invited to the event. Fans will be welcomed by a red-carpet entrance with unique Stampede of Speed backdrop as they enter the Champions Club.
Once inside, guests will have an opportunity to take a photo with the winners and enjoy a cocktail before a plated meal is served. During the dinner sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts, each winner will be interviewed by NHRA’s Castello _ official voice of the Stampede of Speed _ from guest-submitted questions. The evening will conclude with a concert featuring a whiskey-tasting and cigar bar. Guests also will receive an exclusive Champions Dinner gift.
“It’s an honor to be recognized at the Champions Dinner with the other winners of last year’s inaugural Stampede of Speed,” said Ashley, a four-time NHRA Top Fuel winner. “The Texas Motorplex always goes the extra mile and I can’t wait for the opportunity to celebrate our victory one more time with all of those in attendance.”
Tickets for the event are available at $200 per person. Each ticket will include Wednesday night VIP parking, two drink tickets, dinner, photo with drivers, souvenir item and admission to the post-dinner concert.

Texas Motorplex, which opened in 1986, is a multi-use facility located 35 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and serving downtown Waxahachie. A former Funny Car driver, Meyer introduced corporate suites and stadium-style seating to the sport with the facility as well as an all-concrete racing surface. In addition to non-racing activities and concerts, the Stampede of Speed will include educational and business events for fans from across the country.
“Last year we took a leap of faith with the Stampede of Speed and it paid off with thousands of fans coming to Texas Motorplex, Waxahachie and Ellis County for 10 days of racing and entertainment,” Meyer Johnson said. “Our goal is to welcome visitors to the great state of Texas and introduce them to our facility, the NHRA playoffs and high-quality, family-friendly events.”

Wide Open Cup Playoffs Crank Up In Darlington
By Deb Williams | Senior Writer
RacinToday.com
DARLINGTON, S.C. – When NASCAR’s Cup playoffs open in Sunday’s Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway the 16 title contenders don’t consider anyone a clear favorite for the championship.
Instead, they point to inconsistency and the Next Gen car as the great equalizers in this year’s title race.
With just 15 points separating top seed Chase Elliott from second seed Joey Logano and only 20 points separating Logano from the 16th-seeded Austin Dillon, Logano described this year as “the most close playoff battle we’ve had coming into the playoffs.”
“Usually, there are drivers that come with zero playoff points,” explained Logano, who put his Ford on the pole Saturday with a 168.521-mph lap on the 1.366-mile track. “Now, you’ve got some with wins, stage wins, some regular season points that switched over. I don’t think we’ve ever had it this close before and that’s because of inconsistency.
“We kind of knew this would happen at the beginning of the year. When you have a brand-new car, the cycles happen quicker; whereas, typically, before a team will figure it out and know they’ve got two-and-a-half to three months of kicking butt before the next cycle comes. Now, it’s like three weeks before the next team is the dominant team. We’ve seen this cycle happen four or five times already this year, so you just have to hope you cycle to the front when it matters the most.”
Elliott, who qualified 23rd, said how tight the field had become during the last six months was “pretty significant.”
“At the beginning of the year you had cars that were superior,” Elliott continued. “If your car was driving pretty good, you could drive your way up through the field, but as the year has gone on everyone has gotten closer, which is expected.”
Ross Chastain believes the Next Gen car has gotten “us 80 percent parity across the field.”
“I don’t think you’ll get 100 percent, but I think it got us 80 percent farther than I’ve ever seen in the sport,” said Chastain, who qualified 12th for Sunday’s race. “I don’t know how you can call anyone a favorite (in the playoffs).”
Eight drivers competing for the driver championship qualified in the top 10. Daniel Suarez’s team encountered trouble during pre-race inspection for the playoffs’ inaugural race. His Chevrolet failed inspection three times. Initially, there were problems with the body and then with the car’s toe. Suarez wasn’t allowed to qualify, his car chief was ejected, and he lost his pit selection. Once Sunday’s race receives the green flag, Suarez must serve a pass-through penalty.
Six teams are represented in this year’s playoffs with four of those organizations – Hendrick Motorsports, Team Penske, Trackhouse Racing, and Richard Childress Racing — having their entire driver roster in championship contention. Kyle Larson returns to defend his 2021 title; however, the veterans have four newcomers with which to contend. Trackhouse Racing drivers Suarez and Chastain are in the playoffs for the first time along with Stewart-Haas Racing’s Chase Briscoe and Team Penske’s Austin Cindric, the third rookie to contend for the title. Denny Hamlin made the playoffs his rookie season in 2006 as did Elliott in 2016.
“Advancing as far in the playoffs as possible is where my head is at and where I think this team is looking,” said Cindric, who qualified sixth. “I think it’s also something that we’re capable of. It’s been a tight season and I think execution and consistency has been at a premium and I think those that are able to perform in that manner is where I think I have to have my mind.
“I think we’re gonna have to put three really great races together to move onto the next round and start all over again. With that mentality, I don’t think there’s much to lose and a lot to gain.”
Darlington, Kansas and Bristol comprise the playoffs first round with Bristol being the cutoff event that eliminates the lowest four drivers in the standings. The Round of 12 is comprised of Texas, Talladega and the Charlotte ROVAL, while the tracks in the Round of 8 are Las Vegas, Homestead-Miami and Martinsville. The historic half-mile Martinsville track once again determines the Championship 4.

23XI Playing Numbers Game
DARLINGTON, S.C. – In NASCAR’s Xfinity and Truck series it’s not unusual to have the owner’s championship go to a team that’s different from the one earning the driver’s title; however, that situation could possibly occur this year in the Cup Series.
When Kurt Busch relinquished the medical waiver NASCAR granted him, that made another position available in the driver playoffs. Instead of 15 positions having been filled entering last week’s regular season finale at Daytona, only 14 were taken. That meant Austin Dillon entered the playoffs as the season’s 15th different winner and Ryan Blaney was the lone driver gaining entrance on points.
However, Busch’s exit from the playoffs didn’t affect his No. 45 team, leaving it in contention for the owner’s championship. Thus, there are 16 teams in the owner standings that entered the playoffs with a victory.
It was believed at 23XI Racing that a driver with Cup experience could benefit the No. 45 team more than a rookie. That’s the reason 23XI Racing decided to put Bubba Wallace in the No. 45 Chevrolet and move Ty Gibbs to the No. 23 for Sunday’s Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.
The No. 45 team enters the playoffs as the 12th seed in the quest for the owner’s championship and keeps Blaney from having his No. 12 Ford in the title hunt.
“It stinks that Mr. Penske is not in with the (No.) 12 car on the owner’s side of it,” Blaney said. “He and I talked a little bit about that. I was like, ‘Man, I hate we didn’t get you in on the owner’s side of it,’ and he said, ‘As long as you’re in on the driver. I want you to win the championship.’ He was just happy to get me in as a driver.
“Best case scenario, I could win the driver championship and one of the other two (Penske) cars could win the owner’s championship. That would be a fun party, I guess.”

Wrecks in Next Gen: ‘Like I Got Beat Up At Bar’
DARLINGTON, S.C. – Ever since the Next Gen car made its debut, the drivers have been concerned about its rigidity and the harsh impacts their bodies feel during a crash, hits they describe as “violent”.
They have become more vocal about the situation since Kurt Busch’s qualifying crash at Pocono Raceway in late July sidelined him with a concussion that could possibly end his career.
Kevin Harvick says when his Ford hits the wall it now feels like it did before SAFER barriers were installed. On Thursday during NASCAR Cup playoff media day, Denny Hamlin talked about the soreness he felt following his involvement in two multi-car accidents last Sunday at Daytona. On lap 31 he was involved in a six-car accident and then a 14-car pileup on lap 138 when rain hit the track.
“It is like I got beat up at a bar and somebody was kicking me in the ribs while I was on the ground,” Hamlin said. “That’s really all I can equate it to is that the whole right side just felt smashed.”
Hamlin, who suffered a compression fracture in his back in March 2013 at Auto Club Speedway, said he thought NASCAR possessed a log of hits that he’d taken during his career.
Unlike previous years when the teams built their cars and could work on certain areas to improve them, the parts now come from vendors and can’t be altered.
“It’s all in the hands of NASCAR,” Hamlin said. “It’s up to them to make sure that all of the drivers are safe. We didn’t design the Next Gen car. We left it in their hands to design it and they farmed it out to these companies to build. Certainly, in the old days we would do things in our own race shop to make them a little better based off the feedback we have, but we just have to wait and see what they hand us.”
Harvick says that pretty much every hit he has taken in the new car this year has hurt.
“At Sonoma, I hit the back of the 2 car (Austin Cindric) so hard that it locked my HANS out, and I kept going,” Harvick said. “Every hit is violent and some of the smallest hits hurt like they shouldn’t hurt. Everybody knows the car is too stiff and I think when you look at the crash data it just doesn’t represent what the drivers are feeling in the car.
“They’ll say, ‘Well, it was only a 15G hit.’ Well, I’m telling you some of those 15G hits feel like 50 compared to what they have been in old cars. I mean they are just blunt, violent wrecks every time you hit something, and they do not feel like they did in the old car. Every time we hit a car it feels like hitting a concrete wall. Every time we hit a soft wall it feels like hitting a concrete wall and they’re violent.
“When you see Denny talking about being banged up and Kurt out, you hear the hits week after week after week and I know everybody is talking about making some changes, but I haven’t really seen any.”
Hamlin said there had been no dialogue with NASCAR to determine what could be done to change the situation.
“I would think that if we were going to implement any changes for next year that they would have been started on, but I’m not really sure,” Hamlin added. “I think this car is a very general term … so many parts and pieces to it.
“Certainly, it could be better, but anytime you build something that’s more rigid and built to last longer, the softest part, which is your body, is going to take the brunt of it. Right now, that’s where we’re getting beat up.”

LOS ANGELES (CN) — The man depicted on Nirvana's monumental 1991 album "Nevermind" when he was four months old and with his penis in full view waited too long to sue the former band members and the record label for child pornography, a federal judge said.
U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin on Friday dismissed the claims by Spencer Elden against the estate of Kurt Cobain, Universal Music Group and the two other former members of the Seattle grunge band. The judge wasn't persuaded by Elden's arguments that a 10-year statute of limitations for civil claims didn't apply to the harm he claims to still suffer from his depiction on album cover.
Contrary to Elden's contentions, the judge said, the law under which he sued for damages applies to harm he may have suffered as a minor, not as a grown man. Since any further attempt to revise the allegations would be futile, the judge dismissed the case with prejudice.
Elden's attorney didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision.
In an amended complaint filed in January in Los Angeles, Elden had focused on the damages he endured during the past 10 years because the judge, in allowing him to revamp his claims, had instructed him to address the record company's argument that the statute of limitations had run out.
"This unprecedented album cover is perhaps the first and only time a child’s full-frontal nudity has been used to sell a product," Elden's attorneys said in a statement at the time. "Spencer's image constitutes child pornography and each of the Nirvana defendants robbed our client of his dignity and privacy."
Even though the album cover is 30 years old, the former band members and the record company had continued to promote and distribute what Elden called child pornography during the last 10 years. For example, this past September the album with Elden's genitals on the cover was rereleased to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of "Nevermind," according to the amended complaint.
As a result, Elden said, he has suffered physical, psychological, financial and reputational damage during the past 10 years. He sought at a minimum $150,000 in statutory damages from each of the named defendants as well as attorneys fees.
Universal Music and the former band members rebuked the claim the album cover amounts to child pornography, saying that under the law any nudity must be coupled with "other circumstances that make the visual depiction lascivious or sexually provocative" to fall within the parameters of the child pornography statute.
In their request to dismiss the lawsuit, the defendants said Elden had spent 30 years profiting from his celebrity as "the self-anointed 'Nirvana Baby.'"
"He has reenacted the photograph in exchange for a fee, many times; he has had the album title 'Nevermind' tattooed across his chest; he has appeared on a talk show wearing a self-parodying, nude-colored onesie; he has autographed copies of the album cover for sale on eBay; and he has used the connection to try to pick up women," the defendants said in their motion to dismiss.

Serena Williams said she wanted to be remembered as a fighter and was proud of the impact she had on tennis as she most likely dropped the curtain on her historic career at the US Open on Friday.
"The fight, I'm such a fighter," she said when asked how she wanted to be remembered following her 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-1 third round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic, in what she has indicated was her final match.
"I feel like I really brought something to tennis, a different look, the fist pumps, the just crazy intensity. Passion is a really good word," she told reporters.
Serena and sister Venus took the tennis world by storm when they emerged from the courts of crime-ridden Compton, California, as teenagers and went on to dominate and change the face of the predominantly white sport.
On the court, she thanked her family, friends and fans for an "incredible journey."
"Honestly I am so grateful that I had this moment and that I'm Serena," she told reporters.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion singled out the 2015 French Open, where she battled through serious flu symptoms to complete her second "Serena Slam" - four consecutive Grand Slam titles - as a career highlight.
"That is definitely the one that I'm taking with me because I almost died in that event," she said. "Somehow I won. So that was pretty awesome."
The 40-year-old mother to Olympia exceeded expectations at the year's final major, turning back the clock to beat world No. 2 Anett Kontaveit and fending off five match points against Tomljanovic in an absorbing three-set battle.
The undiminished power she displayed in New York led some to wondered whether she is really ready to "evolve away" from tennis to focus on growing her family and on her business interests, as she announced last month.
"I don't know. I'm not thinking about that," she said.
"I always did love Australia, though," she said with a smile, referring to January's Australian Open.
Whether on the court or off, she said she will continue to stay connected to the sport she transcended in the years to come.
"Tennis has been such a huge part of my life, I can't imagine not being involved," she said.
"I don't see a future without it." | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/tennis/2022/09/03/serena-williams-proud-of-her-fight.amp.html | 2022-09-04T02:20:08Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/tennis/2022/09/03/serena-williams-proud-of-her-fight.amp.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Defending champion Daniil Medvedev cruised into the fourth round of the US Open with a straightforward 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Chinese qualifier Wu Yibing on Friday to set up a blockbuster clash with Australia's Nick Kyrgios.
The Russian blazed past Stefan Kozlov and Arthur Rinderknech in the last two rounds and looked every bit the champion again, as he fired 12 aces and converted six of 12 break points to comfortably dispatch his 22-year-old opponent.
"If you ask me what I could improve, I don't see many things," Medvedev said of his title defence. "Maybe a little bit less double-faults, but that's if we're trying to dig somewhere. If not, high-level match.
"If I continue this way, have good opportunities to do something big. But the next match is not easy. Going to try to recover well and be 100 per cent for the next one."
Medvedev's win in front of an emotional Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd following Serena Williams' loss to Ajla Tomljanovic meant he has reached the round of 16 at Flushing Meadows for the fourth straight year.
Wu, who became the first Chinese man in US Open history to reach the third round, was plagued by several unforced errors in the clash as Medvedev prevailed in an hour and 55 minutes.
After sealing a closely contested first set, Medvedev broke early to race ahead 5-1 in the next and closed it out in style to take full control of the contest.
The third set followed a similar pattern as Wu crumbled under the relentless pressure, with Medvedev staying on course to become the first player to win consecutive US Open titles since Roger Federer's run of five between 2004 and 2008.
But a defeat to Kyrgios in the next round would see Medvedev lose his No. 1 ranking to Rafael Nadal after the tournament.
"We've played great matches. All have been quite tight on the scoreboard," said Medvedev, who has lost three of his four previous meetings with Kyrgios, including the last one in Montreal less than a month ago.
"It's 3-1 to him but I'll try to do better this time and it'll be a great match for people to watch."
Medvedev said he was aware of what he needed to do on Sunday against the temperamental Australian, who is playing the best tennis of his career, having finished runner-up at Wimbledon and winning in Washington, DC in the lead-up to US Open.
"I don't think we are friends. When I say 'friends', we haven't been to the bar together," Medvedev said with a smile.
"I feel like we respect each other a lot. On the court also we never really had any fight or anything, which can change any moment. We are both quite electric. You never know what's going to happen in the future.
"Nick is a little bit different from other tennis players sometimes on the court. That's his choice. That's his life. I'm not the one to judge." | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/tennis/2022/09/03/us-open-medvedev-sets-up-blockbuster-clash-with-kyrgios.amp.html | 2022-09-04T02:20:37Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/tennis/2022/09/03/us-open-medvedev-sets-up-blockbuster-clash-with-kyrgios.amp.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Can We Move On: From the Woman Whose Childhood Trauma Is Used to Add ‘Depth’ to Her Character
Share
In Can We Move On, we revisit old tropes and question whether they have any remaining cultural relevance.
What is common between Meri Pyaari Bindu, Raabta, and Half Girlfriend? In addition to having been released in 2017, the female leads in each of these movies also suffered from the “dead or damaged parent syndrome,” as one article describes it. Bollywood’s latest attempt to add depth to their female characters in a feeble, formulaic manner feels like the filmmakers’ way of telling feminists, “Well, look, we’ve shattered the glass ceiling by giving her a backstory — she’s not just ‘padding’ for the hero’s narrative anymore,” while patting themselves on the back for treading a path that was unexplored by their predecessors.
“How to make it look like you spent more than two minutes in writing your female lead and pretending to give her character? Simple. Just kill off her parents. Or show that she belongs to a broken home,” Debiparna Chakraborty wrote in 2017.
Per se, there isn’t a problem with depicting childhood trauma — in fact, in a country teeming with mental health issues while also denying their very existence, spreading awareness of how past traumas can impact one’s present is certainly laudable. Except, given how these issues are rarely treated with sensitivity or nuance on-screen, that’s not what filmmakers are actually interested in. The subplot of childhood trauma almost never gets the space it deserves in the narrative — making it evident that the trope simply serves as a means to silence critics, or worse still, act as a device to give male heroes someone to “rescue.”
In Meri Pyaari Bindu, the titular character, played by Parineeti Chopra, loses her mother in a car crash that she blames her father for. It results in unresolved trauma that dooms her future relationships. In Raabta, Saira, played by Kriti Sanon, also loses her parents in an accident that leads them to drown to death — leaving her with a chronic fear of water. In these films, the trauma of Chopra’s and Sanon’s characters is often viewed through a lens that’s pitying — and, in places, perhaps, even judgmental — denying them the space to reckon with their unresolved issues as adults with agencies.

‘Gehraiyaan’ Shows How Childhood Traumas Can Shape People’s Narratives With Sensitivity
“Bindu is given exactly one scene with her father to unload nearly two decades’ worth of emotional cargo… Tia is given a one-line background story… [T]here isn’t even an entire scene dedicated to convey[ing] that Kriti Sanon’s Saira lost her parents in a car crash,” Chakraborty writes, contrasting the treatment of female leads with their male counterparts, arguing, “[I]f you could dedicate enough time to show Sushant Singh Rajput’s Shiv’s entire family, his friends, his spiritual-religious inclinations, and even concoct a friend-sidekick character for him, why is it so difficult to do the same for the female lead’s character?”
It’s unfair, however, to state that the subplot of the female lead’s trauma is always summarily dismissed. There exist movies — like Half Girlfriend — where the trope plays out to propel the narrative of the leading man. Having grown up in an abusive environment, Shraddha Kapoor’s character, Ria, develops issues that prevent her from fully committing to the man she loves. And then, the focus shifts to the journey of this man, played by Arjun Kapoor, as he navigates his love life.
So far so bad. Then, it gets worse.
In last year’s Atrangi Re, the childhood trauma endured by Sara Ali Khan’s character, Rinku — who, as a child, witnesses her parents burning to death in front of her eyes — is romanticized in course of the movie. “From time to time, relying on Rinku’s hallucinations as a plot device to drive the overarching narrative of ‘dramatic love,’ the movie does little to destigmatize what its own protagonist is going through. In fact, making her psychosis the biggest reveal of Atrangi Re, too, feels discomfiting… Moreover, the narrative falls prey to yet another trope: “love cures all.” Rinku’s childhood trauma led her to believe in the existence of a character, who didn’t exist; Vishu’s [played by Dhanush] love brings her back in touch with reality,” The Swaddle’s take on the movie had noted.
Moreover, in both Half Girlfriend and Atrangi Re, the childhood trauma of the female leads — serving as plot devices for the respective romances to unfold — almost ends up defining their entire personality. In doing so, it furthers harmful stereotypes about mental health — a subject that is already steeped in stigma in our country.

It is rather telling that Bollywood can’t fathom any other way of conceptualizing “interesting” women sans a hero’s involvement. In contrast, traumatized male characters are depicted as tortured geniuses or passionate lovers, whereas women are often relegated to the status of dysfunctional adults, if not damsels in distress. The key difference, here, is agency: the same trope in men gives them agency to act in certain ways, whereas in women, it often serves as a device to question their agency. Moreover, obligatorily infusing trauma into the narratives of female characters — simply to make them appear interesting — does a great disservice to lived experiences of people, who have genuinely undergone trauma.
There is a rich repository of pain, frustration, and rage to draw from when it comes to female characters in films: to imply, then, that a dead parent might be the only plausible way a woman can have a personality with depth, undermines everything else women go through in order to be taken seriously.
So, it would appear, that no matter how Bollywood chooses to employ the trope, it falls short of doing justice to it. But that’s not true either. 2014’s Highway and this year’s Gehraaiyaan serve as great examples of how to depict women’s trauma. In neither of the instances were the experiences of Bhatt’s and Deepika Padukone’s characters romanticized. And, what’s better, they were actually granted the space they deserved in the respective narratives of the movies.
Suggesting that Indian cinema isn’t equipped to tackle the complex, unresolved childhood trauma of women puts filmmakers off the hook. Instead, holding them accountable to respectfully deal with a subplot they chose to introduce in their narrative appears to be a better solution, perhaps, than simply suggesting we lock the trope away in boxes with heavy iron lids and toss them into the ocean. | https://theswaddle.com/can-we-move-on-from-the-woman-whose-childhood-trauma-is-used-to-add-depth-to-her-character/ | 2022-09-04T02:23:14Z | theswaddle.com | control | https://theswaddle.com/can-we-move-on-from-the-woman-whose-childhood-trauma-is-used-to-add-depth-to-her-character/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Woe Is Me! “I Have Lots of Goals But No Motivation. How Do I Gather the Energy to Try?”
Share
Woe Is Me! is a series in which The Swaddle team indulges your pity party with advice you’ll probably ignore.
“Ever since I became more serious about my aim in life, I find myself procrastinating and getting more and more distant from my goals. Although I have always been a good student all my life, there’s something that is stopping me from executing my own plans, as if something might end up making me guilty. I constantly keep feeling like I have done something irreparably wrong. I’m unable to find a solution to this.”
— Trying (not) too hard
DR: Are you worried you might disappoint yourself in pursuance of these goals you’ve set? That’s the first thing that came to my mind upon reading your woe. You could try re-jigging your goals a bit — in terms of easing the timelines, perhaps, or spacing out your targets — to see if things improve. Also, have you chosen these goals based on what you want to do in life, or have social pressures defined them for you? If it’s the latter, that could be why you’re struggling to motivate yourself to pursue them.
Given that I neither know you nor have the faintest idea about your goals, all I could throw at you are possibilities. What would, perhaps, be more useful for you is to introspect why you might be feeling the way you’re feeling — here, seeking guidance from a therapist might be a good idea. However, given that motivation-related concerns can stem from neurodivergence too — although that might not be the case for you at all — I’d still suggest you look for a neurodivergence-and-trauma-informed therapist just to ensure they’ll, at least, consider the possibility.
QG: One thing that always helps me understand what or how I feel about a situation is to really sit with myself and begin untangling. Ask yourself what you are feeling, how you are feeling, what is making you feel the way that you are and how you want to go about it. Maybe that will help. You can always reach out to people around you for help as well. Try to get to the root of what is making you feel distant from your goal. Could it be that this isn’t what you really want to do? Could it be that now that you know what your aim is, the prospect of it is overwhelming you? Like I said, really sit with yourself. And let me assure you that you haven’t done anything that can be categorized as “irreparably wrong.” Whatever is eating you up, you will figure it out — I promise you this.
AS: I want to tell you that I suffer from the exact same thing! My friends keep suggesting that I go to therapy, and I intend to follow up on their advice as soon as I can. So, I would suggest that, maybe, you try the same thing. It won’t magically solve everything, of course, but it might give you an outlet to navigate and explore this crawling feeling with some expert guidance. While looking for a therapist, do ensure to look beyond their qualifications and ensure that the person you will end up talking to, understands your personal and political equations well. Wishing you all the best on this journey. I know it can be quite intimidating, but it will hopefully get easier with time.
RN: Is it possible that your goal isn’t actually the one you want to pursue? Is there a disconnect between what you want and what you feel like you need? If you’re feeling stuck, try assessing the goal itself. It’s wonderful that you have it all figured out but there’s a chance you could just be telling yourself that to avoid the greater panic of not having figured things out. I want to emphasize that there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what to do — figuring it out as you go along is as rich and rewarding an experience as anything else too. But if you’re certain about the goal, ignore everything I just said — why not break it up into small, achievable parts so you’re less intimidated by it? | https://theswaddle.com/woe-is-me-i-have-lots-of-goals-but-no-motivation-how-do-i-gather-the-energy-to-try/ | 2022-09-04T02:23:21Z | theswaddle.com | control | https://theswaddle.com/woe-is-me-i-have-lots-of-goals-but-no-motivation-how-do-i-gather-the-energy-to-try/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
CHENEY, Wash. — Mother Nature herself could not deter a fantastic ending in the season opener for the Eastern Washington football team today.
The Eags received a late go ahead touchdown pass from quarterback Gunner Talkington to Efton Chism III and a game sealing interception by defensive back Tre Weed to defeat the Tennessee State Tigers 36-29 today at Roos Field.
This all came after a 45 minute lightning delay with 3:16 remaining in the third quarter. The Eags led 29-19 at the time of the delay, but Tennessee State scored 10 straight points to tie the game at 29 with 6:32 to play.
The first half was a back and forth shootout between the two teams. On Tennessee State's first play from scrimmage, wide receiver Zack Dobson looked to be wrapped up for a short gain, but he somehow broke through several arm tackles for a 67 yard touchdown to put the Tigers up 7-0.
A couple of possessions later, Talkington found wide receiver Nolan Ulm in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. EWU would also convert a two point conversion to take an 8-7 lead.
Tennessee State would hit right back with another big play as Ellis found wide receiver Cam Wyche on a short pass and he ran straight through the EWU defense to put the Tigers up 13-8.
EWU would respond with Talkington finding Robert Mason III wide open in the right corner of the end zone for a 22 yard touchdown pass to give the Eags a 15-13 lead.
The Tigers would get yet another big play on their next possession as Devon Starling would take an Ellis handoff 43 yards for the touchdown to retake the lead 19-15.
After Seth Harrison missed a 33 yard field goal, the Eagles' defense would finally catch a break as Ellis inadvertently ran into Starling and fumbled the ball which was recovered by EWU.
The Eags would capitalize as Talkington found Blake Gobel wide open in the end zone for a 14 yard touchdown pass to retake the lead at 22-19.
EWU would ride that momentum into forcing another turnover as Brock Harrison would strip sack Ellis. The fumble was recovered by Caleb Davis setting the Eags up in great field position for a short touchdown pass from Talkington to Chism and a 29-19 lead, which they would take into the half.
Tennessee State would kick a field goal and Ellis would take it in himself on a four yard quarterback keeper to tie the score at 29 with 6:32 to go.
Talkington showed no nerves manufacturing the game winning drive. He hit Chism twice on the drive for a 17 yard gain and nine yard gain respectively to set up the game winning touchdown.
Talkington lofted a pass into the left corner of the end zone and Chism made a terrific diving catch to give the Eags a 36-29 lead.
In a last gasp for Tennessee State with 53 seconds to play, quarterback Draylen Ellis launched a prayer downfield into triple coverage that Weed came away with for the game sealing interception.
Up Next:
EWU heads to Eugene next Saturday to take on the Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium. Kickoff for that game is set for 7 PM. | https://www.krem.com/article/sports/ncaa/eastern-washington-university/ewu-football-defeats-tennessee-state/293-8f05142e-72c1-4a89-9af6-4bca0b245c2a | 2022-09-04T02:29:00Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/sports/ncaa/eastern-washington-university/ewu-football-defeats-tennessee-state/293-8f05142e-72c1-4a89-9af6-4bca0b245c2a | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Chadwick Boseman Wins an Emmy for Voice-Over in “What If…?”
Though he did not win a posthumous Oscar when many fans and critics thought he should, the late Chadwick Boseman just scored one for his final Marvel Studios performance. Voicing an alternate reality T’Challa, who became Star-Lord instead of Black Panther, he led the Disney+ series What If…? to its best episode. In winning the Outstanding Character Voice-Over Emmy tonight, he beat out fellow Marvel voice-actor F. Murray Abraham, who played Khonshu in Moon Knight.
RELATED: Martin Freeman Reflects on Making Black Panther 2 Without Chadwick Boseman
As reported by Deadline, Boseman’s wife Taylor Simone Ledward accepted the award. In accepting, she said the following:
“When I learned Chad was nominated, I started thinking of everything that was going on in the world and our world and being so in awe of his commitment and dedication and what a beautiful moment that one of the last things he would work on was something so important to him and to the world but also something new. You can’t understand your purpose unless you ask what if? What if the universe is conspiring in my favor? What if it’s me? Chad would be so honored and I am honored on his behalf.”
It’s well-deserved. Let us know your thought on Boseman’s work in comments.

As Nigerians prepare for the 2023 general election, popular Nollywood and actor turned politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has urged the people to remain resolute in their mission to take back their country from those who have the current political class that has ruined its image and economy.
Okonkwo who defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has thrown his weight behind the ambition of Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) describing Obi as the savior Nigeria who will break the country free from its current bondage.
He also said if he ever saw the presidential candidates of the PDP and APC, Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, he would beg them to step down and throw their weight behind the LP presidential candidate.
He stated that APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket would permanently destroy the political viability of Christians in nothern Nigeria, if allowed to stand.
He added that he resigned his membership in the interest of equity, justice, fairness and peaceful co-existence among Nigerians.
“Nigeria is yearning for a change. We’re yearning for a new Nigeria. Whoever is a Nigerian and is telling you that they are happy with the status quo, such person is doing that for personal, not national interest.”
According to him, Obi is the best candidate for Nigeria. The burden of the survival of Nigeria is now on the hearts of everybody, including the terrorists, adding that Nigeria has to survive as everyone is looking for the survival of Nigeria and a way of escape.
“Peter Obi is now the symbol of that escape, and everybody should fall in line. If I see Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, I’ll beg them to step down and support Peter Obi’s becoming president.”
“Security, economy and fight against corruption have collapsed. The APC has failed, and their failure is built on the foundation of the loss of the PDP that died first and acknowledged that, so Nigeria is yearning for a change.”

Case Against Woman Charged With Trespassing After Entering Cooksburg Man’s Residence Waived for Court
FOREST CO., Pa. (EYT) – A case in Forest County Court against a Pittsburgh woman charged with felony trespass and related charges for entering a Cooksburg man’s residence has moved forward.

The case has been transferred to the Forest County Court of Common Pleas.
Details of the case:
The incident occurred on Tuesday, May 31 at a residence along Coleman Run Road, in Cooksburg, Barnett Township, Forest County.
According to a criminal complaint, on May 31, PSP Marienville received a call from a known victim, who reported that Marissa Perla had entered his home without his knowledge.
Upon speaking with the victim, he reported that Perla has not lived at this residence since January of 2022.
Both the victim and PSP Marienville on numerous occasions had informed Perla not to return to the victim’s residence, the complaint states.
The victim told police that Perla contacted him via phone multiple times in the early morning hours of May 31. He answered and asked Perla to stop contacting him, the complaint indicates.
When he woke up on May 31, the victim said that Perla was standing in the bedroom of his residence. The victim informed police that Perla claimed to run out of gas and came to his residence, according to the complaint.

Central Clarion Overcomes 16-0 Deficit to Down Port Allegany, 29-24
PORT ALLEGANY, Pa. (EYT/D9) – The long ride home for the Central Clarion football team felt a whole lot better thanks to Dawson Hotchkiss.
The senior scored three touchdowns in the second half, including a 95-yard kickoff return to begin the third quarter, as Central Clarion overcame a 16-0 first-half deficit to down the Gators, 29-24.
“It wasn’t really changing a whole lot. It was just execution,” said Wildcats’ coach Dave Eggleton about crawling out of that 16-0 hole. “We weren’t making the plays that were there, and we made some mistakes in the first half. Give Port credit. That’s a good football team, and they capitalized on a couple of mistakes.”
Drew Evens made some plays with his arm and his feet in the first half for the Gators. He found Noah Archer for a 25-yard TD but stepping up in the pocket and rolling to his right for an 8-0 lead.
“He’s a good quarterback,” Eggleton said. “And a lot better in person today than we’ve seen on film. He made a lot of good plays, just extending the plays.”
Central Clarion sports coverage on Explore and D9Sports.com is brought to you by Redbank Chevrolet and DuBrook.
A 44-yard interception return by Nick Wilfong just seconds later made it 16-0.
Central Clarion began its comeback with a touchdown less than a minute later on a 50-yard TD pass from Jase Ferguson to Ashton Rex to cut the Port Allegany lead to 16-7.
The second half was the Hotchkiss show.
A 15-yard penalty at the end of the half by Central Clarion was assessed on the second half kickoff. Port Allegany decided to kick it deep and Hodgkiss grabbed it at the 5, broke a few tackles and raced down the left sideline for the touchdown.
“That really sparked the guys,” Eggleton said. “Obviously, at halftime, we were all unhappy with the way we were playing. It wasn’t that we weren’t playing hard, but we just weren’t making plays. But int the second half we made the plays that we needed to make to win the football game.”
He scored two more times in the second half on receptions of 26 and 49 yards from Ferguson, who had another big night throwing the ball for the Wildcats.
Hodgkiss’ third TD of the second half gave Central Clarion a 29-16 lead.
Blaine Moses scored on a 1-yard run with a little more than eight minutes remaining in the game to cut the lead to 29-24.
The Wildcats, though, were able to hang on to run their record to 2-0.
Central Clarion intercepted Evens four times. Brady Quinn, Tommy Smith, Braylon Beckwith, and Ferguson came up with the picks.
The Wildcats had three interceptions last week against Brookville.
“Our defense was fantastic tonight,” Eggleton said. “They have a big running back (Moses) and we made them throw the ball. We’re continuing to force turnovers on defense and just playing solid football on that side of the ball. Our offense is dangerous and you might stop us for a while, but we have guys who are game breakers who are eventually going to get a big play.”

The Crusaders managed just 154 yards and six first downs. ECC had zero yards passing.
Moniteau’s Hunter Stalker rushed for 154 yards on 21 carries to lead the Warriors.

Police: Woman Assaults Husband After He Asks to Stay in the House Because He’s ‘Tired of Living in the Shed’
VENANGO CO., Pa. (EYT) – Charges have been filed against an area woman who assaulted her husband during a domestic dispute in Cherrytree Township.
Court documents indicate that Franklin-based State Police filed criminal charges against 42-year-old Rebecca Margaret Kight, of Titusville, on Sunday, August 28, in Magisterial District Judge Andrew F. Fish’s office.
According to a criminal complaint, PSP Franklin were contacted by a known male, who stated that his wife slapped and punched him in the face during an argument that occurred around 3:55 p.m. on Sunday, August 28, at a residence on Turkey Farm Road, in Cherrytree Township, Venango County.
Police arrived on the scene and spoke with the victim who had dried blood on his nose, as well as blood on his teeth with a split lip.
The victim told police that his wife, Rebecca Kight, got mad at him when he said he wanted to stay in the house because he’s “tired of living in the shed,” the complaint states.
Troopers then spoke with Kight who stated that she was talking with the victim, and he asked if he could stay in the house because “he’s tired of living in the shed,” and she told him no, the complaint indicates.
Kight reported that the victim reached in to give her a kiss, and she got mad and shoved him. Kight then allegedly stated that she slapped and punched him in the face to get him away from her, according to the complaint.
Kight was arraigned at 9:15 a.m. on Monday, August 29, in front of District Judge Patrick E. Lowrey on the following charges:
– Simple Assault, Misdemeanor 2
– Harassment – Subject Other to Physical Contact, Summary
She is currently free on $5,000.00 unsecured bail.
A preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday, September 7, at 1:30 p.m., in Venango County Central Court with Judge Lowrey presiding.

Redbank Valley Defense Buckles Down Against Karns City en Route to 25-15 Victory
NEW BETHLEHEM, Pa. (EYT/D9) – While the Redbank Valley defense had its back up against the wall on multiple occasions while trying to protect a lead, the Bulldogs withstood the test of Karns City on Friday night, 25-15.

“When I left Hershey last year, I basically told my (athletic director), ‘We have to get Karns City on the schedule’ because we need to play these kind of games that are dog fights where we gotta find a way to win ugly,” Redbank Valley head coach Blane Gold said after the game.
The Bulldogs improve to 2-0 on the young season while Karns City continues its search for a first victory and moves to 0-2.
Sophomore Drew Byers took home the Hager Paving Player of the Game for the Bulldogs with 14 carries for 102 yards, but it was an all-around team effort, as well as stout defensive play that led to Redbank’s victory.
Redbank Valley, Keystone, and Union/A-C Valley sports coverage on Explore and D9Sports.com is brought to you by Heeter Lumber.
“The effort our guys put forth tonight was incredible,” Gold said. “We gave up yards on defense, but we buckled down and made stops when we had to. Just a real gritty performance.”
The Bulldogs started out with possession in front of the home crowd as Byers’ efforts on the ground set up Redbank nice in Karns City territory.
Senior quarterback Cam Wagner connected with Ashton Kahle from six yards out to put the Bulldogs on the board. A failed 2-point conversion set the score at 6-0.
Just as Gold and company expected, the “dog fight” commenced as junior Luke Cramer and the Gremlins’ run game answered right back to make the score 7-6.
The battle continued into the second quarter as the two teams stayed neck-and-neck late into the first half.
With a little over five minutes to play in the first half, the Bulldogs’ passing-game got in on the action as Wagner teamed up with senior Tate Minich for a 47-yard completion to set up deep in Karns City territory.
Senior Aiden Ortz would eventually reach paydirt with a 2-yard reception to put Redbank up, 12-7.
With under 30 seconds to go in the second quarter, the Gremlins were knocking on the door in the redzone and looking to answer with a score of their own once again. However, the Bulldogs defense came up huge pinned inside their own 10-yard-line, stopping the Gremlins on fourth down.
The scored remained at 12-7 as the Gremlins received to open up the second half. More effective running out of the Gremlins gave them a nice opportunity to take the lead on their first possession of the half.
Once again, the Bulldogs held their ground and found a way to stop Karns City on fourth down to keep things at 12-7.
A Karns City stop on downs the following possession gave the Gremlins another opportunity to get on the board. This time, it was the Bulldog’s secondary and Kahle, who came away with a 72-yard pick-six to flip the script and put Redbank up by two scores, 19-7.
The Gremlins refused to go away on the ensuing possession as the running back tandem of Cramer and Nathan Hess carried the Karns City offense into Bulldog territory.
The Bulldogs found themselves with two opportunities to stop the Gremlins on third down, but Hess found a way to convert a third-and-1 before Cramer’s third-and-6 conversion led to Karns City’s long-awaited first TD of the second half. A blocked extra point try set things at 19-13 with 10:33 left in the fourth quarter.
Just under 15 seconds later, Ortz and the Bulldogs managed to give themselves some breathing room on the strength of a 57-yard touchdown catch and run. A third failed two-point conversion for Redbank set the score at 25-13.
Redbank’s theme of stout defense rang true throughout a large portion of the fourth quarter as Karns City found itself marching towards the endzone after a fumble recovery late in the quarter.
The Gremlins faced a fourth-and-8 situation from the Bulldogs’ 23, with 2:42 left to play in the fourth quarter when Karns City quarterback Mason Martin connected with wideout Cooper Coyle to convert when it was desperately needed. The reception set up Karns City at the five-yard line.
However, the Bulldog defense would simply not break as they were able to stop the Gremlins on downs with 1:42 remaining in the ballgame.
The turnover on downs incidentally set up the Bulldogs with terrible field position, pinned at their one-yard line.
On the next play, Byers failed to gain the goal line and was brought down in the endzone, which made things a little more interesting down the stretch with the score put at 25-15.
Karns City chipped away at the Bulldog defense, but simply ran out of time as the “bend-but-don’t-break’ attitude of Redbank Valley was too much.
“We aren’t clicking on all cylinders right now,” Karns City coach Joe Sherwin said after the game. “There are some mistakes and penalties just not allowing us to score.
“We’re still a good football team and we still have a lot to accomplish this season,” he added. “We’ll get back to work and fix up some of our mistakes.”
Wagner finished the night 12-of-18 for 179 yards through the air to go along with three TDs and an interception.
Martin checked in 12-of-20 for 131 yards and one pick while Cramer finished with 102 yards rushing on the night.
“I don’t care what Karns City graduated. I don’t care who they have back. It’s still Karns City and their 16 District 9 titles,” coach Gold noted. “We’ll get on the tape Monday and we’ll fix stuff, but this is a big program win for us.”
Redbank Valley will travel to Punxsutawney next week while Karns City will play host to Ridgway.

Summer Youth Crew Completes Multiple Projects in Allegheny National Forest
MARIENVILLE, Pa. – This summer the USDA Forest Service – Allegheny National Forest hosted a crew of high-school-aged youth recruited from within Elk County across the Marienville Ranger District and the Ridgway area.
(Pictured above: ANF summer youth crew members peel bark from cut saplings to use as erosion control along a hiking trail. Photo courtesy of the Student Conservation Association.)
This crew was made possible by a unique partnership of federal, state, and local government, as well as a key non-profit organization.
The crew was sponsored and directed as a Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) crew by the Allegheny National Forest, hosted by Ridgway Township, administered by the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) through their PA Outdoor Youth Corps program, and recruited and supervised by the non-profit Student Conservation Association (SCA) with educational programming conducted by the Elk County Conservation District (ECCD).
The crew worked for six weeks in the Allegheny National Forest and Ridgway Township. The crew included high school students Maria Catalano, Kaiden Danekas, Brody Stauffer, Aidan Babb, and Mckenzie Danekas, and Crew Leaders Sheena Wendell and Marcella Smith.
Working together, the crew completed natural resource and recreation projects while learning about the diverse career opportunities in natural resources and conservation.

Front, from left: Marcella Smith (crew leader), Maria Catalano, Sheena Wendell (crew leader), and Mckenzie Danekas. Photo courtesy of the Student Conservation Association.)
They, along with a summer youth crew based at the Allegheny National Forest – Bradford Ranger District, helped construct a turnpike section on Hector Falls Trail.
In addition, they also completed the following projects:
– Weeded and mulched pollinator gardens;
– Cleaned up campsites along the Clarion Wild and Scenic River;
– Planted over 400 red and white pine trees at Beaver Meadows Recreation Area;
– Planted tulip poplar, white oak, sugar maple, red maple, and gray stem dogwood at Twin Lakes Recreation Area. They also stained wooden structures in the campground;
– Brushed the Laurel Mill Trail System and began the Hemlock Loop Trail realignment;
– Helped install a new trail along the Kinzua Connector near the Allegheny Reservoir; and
– Completed numerous projects around Ridgway, including stream bank improvements, campsite improvements, and dock staining.
“This was a terrific partnership focused on providing a meaningful outdoor experience for youth in Elk County through paid employment and educational activities. I am grateful to all of the partners who contributed to the success of this program. And I am amazed at what this small group of dedicated youth was able to accomplish in just a few short weeks. They truly made a difference that will have a lasting impact on the natural resources of the ANF and the public using those natural resources on both the ANF and in Ridgway Township. We thank these young people for their service, and I hope this experience provides a spark that encourages them to engage in their communities and to steward their public lands in the future” said Marienville District Ranger Rob Fallon.

Established as a federal youth program in the 1970s, the United States Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) is a summer youth employment program that engages young people in meaningful work experiences in national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and fish hatcheries while developing an ethic of environmental stewardship and civic responsibility.
The PA DCNR Outdoor Youth Corps offers work experience, job training, and environmental education opportunities to young people who complete recreation and conservation projects on Pennsylvania’s public lands.
For the past 65 years, the Student Conservation Association (SCA) has been following through on its mission as a non-profit to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of the environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the land.
In addition to the partners mentioned above, others joined together to offer this employment opportunity for local youth:
Ridgway Township hosted the crew at the Township offices on Route 948. They provided a base for the crew to assemble, store their tools, and adjust their plans when the weather intervened. This also provided an opportunity for the crew to interact with Township personnel when they worked exclusively on projects within the Township and Borough during their last week on the job.
Elk County Conservation District (ECCD) provided educational programming for the youth crew. The model for the YCC and PA Outdoor Corps programs is to provide one day of educational program each week of the program. The ECCD worked with the Allegheny National Forest to develop a comprehensive educational program for the six-week crew, and on Wednesday of each week provided staff and a focused educational curriculum in such areas as aquatics, forestry, recreation, wildlife, and green energy.
Allegheny Hike, Bike and Ski Club (AHBS) assisted with planning and executing work on the Laurel Mill trail system. The crew was only able to work on brushing out a new trail location because the equipment needed to establish the new trail tread was not available as planned. But AHBS continued to move forward with the Forest Service on this project after the youth crew had finished their work.

The 2 and 22 Show: Albright, Nellis Combine for Five Touchdowns as Keystone Downs Union/A-C Valley, 43-7
RIMERSBURG, Pa. (EYT/D9) — Two plus 22 added up to a lot of big plays and points for the Keystone football team.
Tyler Albright rushed for 95 yards on nine carries and a touchdown and also intercepted a pass and returned it for another score, and Kyle Nellis gained 142 yards on the ground and found the end zone three times as the Panthers rolled to a 43-7 road win over Union/A-C Valley on Friday night.
(Above, Keystone coach Todd Smith talks with his team after the victory over Union/A-C Valley.)
The duo did a lot of their damage out of the wing-T formation on counter plays.
Union/A-C Valley knew Keystone was going to run it.
Redbank Valley, Keystone, and Union/A-C Valley sports coverage on Explore and D9Sports.com is brought to you by Heeter Lumber.
It didn’t matter.
“We knew all that stuff was coming,” said Falcon Knights’ coach Brad Dittman. “And we couldn’t stop it. We knew it was going to be the two and 22 show and we were really undisciplined on defense at times.”
Six of Albright’s nine rushing attempts went for 10 yards or more. Nellis also busted off chunk runs on his 17 carries, including a 39-yard scoring scamper in the second quarter that gave the Panthers a 16-0 lead and an 11-yard TD run that closed out the scoring in the fourth quarter.
“That play worked really well for us tonight, I’d say,” Albright said, grinning. “We were getting 10 yards plus every time we ran it.”
And Keystone ran it a good bit.
It was a special teams play, though, that got the Panthers going.
The two teams played to a stalemate for much of the first quarter with neither offense gaining much traction. Then Elijah Will broke the deadlock, grabbing a blocked punt out of the air and returning it six yards for the first score of the game late in the first.
Albright plowed into the end zone on the 2-point conversion to make it 8-0 Keystone.
“We struggled, honestly, with penalties as the beginning,” said Keystone coach Todd Smith. “It kept knocking us back. I thought all three phases we played pretty well tonight.”
Union/A-C Valley had a golden opportunity to wrest the momentum back after Bailey Crissman pounced on a loose ball at the Keystone 20. But the Falcon Knights could do nothing with it, giving the ball back on downs to the Panthers at the 21.
Six plays later, Nellis broke free to give Keystone the 16-0 lead.
The Panthers got another break near the end of the half when they forced a Union/A-C Valley fumble and recovered it at the Falcon Knights’ 19. Two plays later, Rayce Weaver scored on a 1-yard sneak to make it 22-0 with 1:12 remaining on the clock.
It was the symptom of a larger illness for Union/A-C Valley so far this season.
“The blocked punt for the touchdown. The fumble when we’re just trying to maybe break a run off and do something before the half. The interception here in the second half for the touchdown,” Dittman lamented. “Those are big plays and big turnovers that led to points for them.”
Meanwhile, Union/A-C Valley struggled offensively for the second straight week.
Mikey Card managed 71 yards on 11 carries for the Falcon Knights, but 47 of them came on a run on the final play of the first half.
Brody Dittman was just 4 of 17 for 32 yards and two interceptions, and penalties were again abundant for Union/A-C Valley.
“We have to be a whole lot better,” Dittman said. “We have to do a better job having these kids prepared. That’s 100% on me.”
Keystone’s defense had a lot to do with some of Union/A-C Valley’s troubles.
The Panthers are blessed with a big and physical front and active linebackers.
Then there’s Albright roaming the secondary.
His 36-yard interception return for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter put the game away after Union/A-C Valley had given itself a glimmer of hope when Brody Dittman found Skyler Roxbury on a 10-yard touchdown pass to cap a long scoring drive that made it 22-7.
Nellis’ second score of the game — a 5-yard run — was the answer Keystone was looking for.
Albright’s pick-six was the nail in the coffin.
“I was hoping I would make it out of this game with an interception,” Albright said, smiling.
Keystone (2-0) made it out of this game with another win and a 2-0 start under first-year coach Smith.
“We’re doing a great job up front and the guys are buying in,” Smith said. “It doesn’t matter who touches the ball or who scores the touchdowns as long as Keystone wins at the end of the game.
“We’re playing good team D,” he added. “We’re getting people to the football and that’s what it takes. I’m just proud of the effort from our guys.”
For Union/A-C Valley (1-1), there will be some soul searching this week with another tough test on the horizon next week against Central Clarion.
“I told them I think we’re a good football team,” Coach Dittman said. “We’re just playing poorly right now. But I believe we’re a good football team. I 100% told them that I hope this is a wake up call for them, that we can’t just think because we step on the field, we’re gonna win. We have to come out here and put the work in and we’re not doing that right now.”

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Larry Mitko voted for Donald Trump in 2016. But the Republican from Beaver County in western Pennsylvania says he has no plans to back his party’s nominee for Senate, Dr. Mehmet Oz — “no way, no how.”
Mitko doesn’t feel like he knows the celebrity heart surgeon, who only narrowly won his May primary with Trump’s backing. Instead, Mitko plans to vote for Oz’s Democratic rival, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a name he’s been familiar with since Fetterman’s days as mayor of nearby Braddock.
“Dr. Oz hasn’t showed me one thing to get me to vote for him,” he said. “I won’t vote for someone I don’t know.”
Mitko’s thinking underscores the political challenges facing Trump and the rest of the Republican Party as the former president shifts to general election mode with a rally Saturday night in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the first of the fall campaign.
Hours before Trump was to speak, the crowd streamed into the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena. Doug Mastriano, the GOP’s hard-line nominee for governor of Pennsylvania, was already there, as was Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga..
While Trump’s endorsed picks won many Republican primaries this summer, many of the candidates he backed were inexperienced and polarizing figures now struggling in their November races. That’s putting Senate control — once assumed to be a lock for Republicans — on the line.
Among those candidates are Oz in Pennsylvania, author JD Vance in Ohio, venture capitalist Blake Masters in Arizona and former football star Herschel Walker in Georgia.
“Republicans have now nominated a number of candidates who’ve never run for office before for very high-profile Senate races,” said veteran Republican pollster Whit Ayres. While he isn’t writing his party’s chances off just yet, he said, “It’s a much more difficult endeavor than a candidate who had won several difficult political races before.”
The stakes are particularly high for Trump as he lays the groundwork for an expected 2024 presidential run amid a series of escalating legal challenges, including the FBI’s recent seizure of classified documents from his Florida home. Investigators also continue to probe his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
This past week, President Joe Biden gave a prime-time speech in Philadelphia warning that Trump and other “MAGA” Republicans — the acronym for Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan — posed a threat to U.S. democracy. Biden has tried to frame the upcoming vote, as he did the 2020 election, as a battle for the “soul of the nation.” Biden’s Labor Day visit to Pittsburgh will be his third to the state within a week, a sign of Pennsylvania’s election-year importance.
While Republicans were once seen as having a good chance of gaining control of both chambers of Congress in November, benefitting from soaring inflation, high gas prices and Biden’s slumping approval ratings, Republicans have found themselves on defense since the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision protecting abortion rights.
Some candidates, like Mastriano, are sticking with their primary campaign playbooks, hoping they can win by turning out Trump’s loyal base even if they alienate or ignore more moderate voters.
Mastriano, who wants to outlaw abortion even when pregnancies are the result of rape or incest or endanger the life of the mother, played a leading role in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election and was seen outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as pro-Trump rioters stormed the building.
But others have been trying to broaden their appeal, scrubbing from their websites references to anti-abortion messaging that is out of step with the political mainstream. Others have played down Trump endorsements that were once featured prominently.
The shifting climate has prompted rounds of finger-pointing in the party, including from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who last month cited “candidate quality” as he lowered expectations that Republicans would recapture control of the Senate.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who leads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said those who complain about the party’s nominees have “contempt” for the voters who chose them.
Trump, too, fired back, calling McConnell a “disgrace” as he defended the party’s candidate roster.
Democrats have also piled on.
“Senate campaigns are candidate versus candidate battles and Republicans have put forward a roster of deeply flawed recruits,” said David Bergstein, the Senate Democratic campaign committee’s communication director.
He credited Trump with deterring experienced Republicans from running, elevating flawed candidates and forcing them to take positions that are out of step with the general electorate. A Trump spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
In Pennsylvania, Republicans are hoping Oz’s shortcomings as a candidate will be overshadowed by concerns about Fetterman, who suffered a stroke just days before the primary and has been sidelined for much of the summer. He continues to keep a light public schedule and struggled to speak fluidly at a recent event.
Republicans acknowledge that Oz struggles to come off as authentic and was slow to punch back as Fetterman spent the summer trolling him on social media and portraying him as an out-of-touch carpetbagger from New Jersey.
While Fetterman leads Oz in polls and fundraising, Republicans say they expect the money gap to narrow and are pleased to see Oz within striking distance after getting hammered by $20 million in negative advertising during the primaries.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is helping finance a new round of Oz’s television ads, and the Senate Leadership Fund, a McConnell-aligned super political action committee, says it added $9.5 million to its TV buy — boosting its overall commitment to $34.1 million by Election Day.
A super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., says it has made $32 million in television ad reservations in the state.
Oz has won over some once-skeptical voters, like Glen Rubendall, who didn’t vote for the TV doctor in his seven-way primary — a victory so narrow it went to a statewide recount — but said he’s come around.
“I’ve been listening to him speak, and I have a pro-Oz view now,” said Rubendall, a retired state corrections officer.
Traci Martin, a registered independent, also plans to vote for Oz because she opposes abortion, despite ads that aired during the primary featuring past Oz statements that seemed supportive of abortion rights.
“I hope he is (anti-abortion),” Martin said, “but the sad part is we live in an age when we see politicians say one thing and do another.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/trump-moves-to-general-election-mode-with-pennsylvania-rally/article_431ca152-2bdd-11ed-8c9d-ef18858f0b6b.html | 2022-09-04T02:53:51Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/trump-moves-to-general-election-mode-with-pennsylvania-rally/article_431ca152-2bdd-11ed-8c9d-ef18858f0b6b.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
SCOTT McLAUGHLIN, NO. 3 FREIGHTLINER TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, POLE WINNER: “Credit to everyone at Team Penske. We weren’t great here last year but we’ve come back here with three hotrods. We’re all pushing each other – Will (Power), Josef (Newgarden) and myself. To get pole is obviously a great thing. The Freightliner Chevy feels good. The Chevy power is great. I’m looking forward to the race tomorrow.”
RACING FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP VS. HELPING TEAMMATES: “We know the rules. We’re Penske drivers. We know that when we get employed what we need to do. When the team wins, we all win. For me, I’ve just got to focus on what I’m doing. If I can be at the front and take points off others by winning the race, that’s exactly what we want to do. Until I’m mathematically out of it, I want to keep going hard and keep trying to win races. I’m feeling really good in the car. We’re building on to really good things for next year. I’m really proud of this group. These guys and these gals work very hard and I’m very proud of them. It’s a really big testament to them.”
CONFIDENCE COMPARED TO PORTLAND A YEAR AGO: “I’m just a different man, I guess in some ways. This time last year, I was a little bit confused to where I wanted to be in terms of the car setup. We finally clicked toward the end. I’m really proud. This Freightline Chevy feels good. I feel good in the car, and I can’t wait until tomorrow.”

With just three laps completed Noah Gragson who started on the outside pole was able to take the lead away from Brandon Jones leading 42 of the laps of the first stage to take home the first stage win of the day.
However, stage one wouldn’t be without issues for Gragson who smoked the tires going down the front saying the brakes in the car had locked up on him. These issues and lapped traffic would allow Jones to close back in to battle for the lead but wouldn’t be enough.
Bell who had started at the rear of the field due to an engine change was able to work himself up to the eight spot just as Larson would cut a tire sending him to pit road with one lap remaining in the stage.
While under caution and coming back to green Alfredo would slam into the back of Nemechek while trying to catch up to the tail end of the field. This could send Nemechek spinning and cause heavy damage to the front and hood of Alfredo.
Caution out once again fly for the second time of the day with a multi-car wreck would break out off turn two when Snider would get turned to collect both Wright and Herbst causing Herbst to hit the inside wall.
Just as the race would once again go back green rain would close in on the track and slow the race for the third time of the day with less than 10 laps to halfway. NASCAR would bring the cars to pit road with 67 laps completed bringing the race to a stop.
Follow a two-and-a-half-hour delay to dry the track racing would resume once again with 70 laps to go.
Stage two would end when Yeley car would engulf in fire with two laps remaining handing race leader Justin Allgaier the stage who had taken lead away from Gragson with seven laps remaining in the stage.
Allgaier would take the early jump in the final stage of the night leading a lap before getting caught and passed by Sheldon Creed. This would also allow Hill and Gragson to get by as the handling of the car would start going away.
While running in ninth place Brandon Jones would get up by the wall and loose it to loop the car going into turn four that would end up bringing out the fifth caution of the night. This would send everyone to pit road with Creed and Gragson coming off pit road once again in the first two spots.
Creed and Gragson would once again fire off with 15 to go, Creed on the high side would use the line to pin Gragson down and keep the momentum to clear away. Gragson would gather it back up and fall in line putting pressure on Creed for the lead. However, Larson would close in on the battle and take away second from Gragson setting his sights on Creed for the lead.
As the white flag would come out Larson and Creed would trade paint going into turn one and two allowing Gragson to close in and got next to the pair heading into the final turns just as Creed would lose a tire getting into the wall in three and four. Gragson would hit the wall with Larson also behind in third hitting the wall. As the trio got off turn four Creed would continue riding the wall allowing Gragson to get past getting to the line first to take home the win at Darlington Raceway.
Creed would end up second followed by AJ Allmendinger, Allgaier and Larson to round out the top-five.

ANAHEIM ― For the second straight day, both Ryan Aguilar and Jo Adell were ambulatory and ready to play for the Angels. And, for the second straight day, Aguilar got the start over Adell in left field against the Houston Astros.
The decision left room for head-scratching. Adell, still just 23, has been touted as a future lineup anchor since the Angels chose him in the first round of the 2017 draft. More recently, he has been searching at the plate, with only one hit to show for his last 14 at-bats.
Adell’s expected stats, calculated by Statcast to reflect quality of contact, also reflect a deep slump. Through Friday, he has a .224 batting average and a .214 expected batting average for the season.
Aguilar, 27, was a surprise call-up. Signed as a minor league free agent last December, Aguilar had a .944 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) with Double-A Rocket City in his first season with the Angels’ organization. He debuted in the major leagues Aug. 26 without ever playing in a Triple-A game; although he was twice promoted to Salt Lake, he never appeared in a game with the Bees.
Aguilar, a Yorba Linda native, is 2 for 14 (.143) with a double since his call-up. Asked point-blank to explain Aguilar’s back-to-back starts, interim manager Phil Nevin said simply, “got to put the best team out there to win every day.”
Asked whether that meant Adell did not present the Angels with the best chance to beat the Astros, Nevin said tersely, “I didn’t say that.”
Nevin went on to suggest the lineup decision had more to do with Aguilar than Adell.
“When we sent Aggie down last Sunday, he didn’t get an opportunity to do anything all week,” Nevin said. “With the travel … he wasn’t able to get into Salt Lake where they were. He was called up on Thursday so he couldn’t play that night. I didn’t want him to sit for seven days knowing he’d play (Saturday).”
The Angels’ main goal, then, was to get the left-handed hitting Aguilar into the lineup Saturday against Astros pitcher Luis Garcia ― a rare left-hander who performs worse against left-handed batters (.803 OPS against) than right-handers (.584 OPS against).
To Nevin, that required starting Aguilar on Friday against Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. ― the rare right-hander who performs better against lefties (career .632 OPS allowed) than righties (career .708 OPS allowed).
“I didn’t want him to sit that long,” Nevin said. “That’s why he played (Friday) night.”
INJURY UPDATES
Michael Lorenzen made a rehab start with the Inland Empire 66ers on Friday. He allowed two runs in six innings, both coming on a home run by Dodger prospect Dalton Rushing in the first inning. Lorenzen allowed only three other hits, walked two, and struck out five.
The right-hander has made three rehab starts since going on the injured list July 4 with a right shoulder strain. Nevin said Lorenzen’s next start will be with the Angels sometime prior to Shohei Ohtani’s next scheduled start on Sept. 10.
“We wanted to get him close to 90” pitches, Nevin said. “He got to 86, feels good (Saturday) coming in. He’s ready to come back.”
Outfielder Mickey Moniak (fractured left middle finger) took batting practice on the field for the first time since he was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 8. Moniak also ran the bases as he nears his return.

Houston (RHP José Urquidy, 12-5, 3.69 ERA) at Angels (LHP Tucker Davidson, 2-4, 5.77 ERA), Sunday, 1:07 p.m., Bally Sports West, 830 AM

PASADENA – What’d you miss?
Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s four touchdowns.
An impressive defensive debut.
A double-digit comeback.
But, really, not much.
Well before kickoff Saturday, when the temperature was already creeping up toward 100 degrees in tailgating tents outside the Rose Bowl, Teresa Hannie knew better than to expect a big crowd to join her and husband, Andre, to see their UCLA Bruins eventually overwhelm Bowling Green 45-17 in both teams’ season opener.
“The UCLA fan base is very fickle,” she said. “It’s hot today, they’re not here. The loyal diehards are here, the other ones are, ‘Oh, it’s too hot, it’s just Bowling Green …’ ”
In all, UCLA announced the smallest home crowd in its history at the Rose Bowl, just 27,143 brave souls on the premises, fewer even than the 32,982 who showed up for last season’s opener against Hawaii, a tally that just eclipsed the 32,513 that showed up to watch UCLA take on Oregon State in 1992.
Maybe you’ve dreamed of seeing yourself on the Jumbotron? This was the game for you; there were only so many options to put on the big screen. Or fantasized about attending an event in Southern California without having to fight traffic? You would’ve zipped in and out the parking lot Saturday.
Of course, the temperature – 100 degrees at kickoff and 103 by game’s end – was an active deterrent.
And the Falcons – who went 4-8 last season, including 2-6 in the Mid-American Conference – aren’t the sort of draw that might make reasonable people decide to brave the elements.
This wasn’t compelling competition. It was a scrimmage. And it was the first of three planned at the Rose Bowl this month, with UCLA’s games against Alabama State and South Alabama to follow – an unfrightening schedule to which Michigan’s decision to back out of a home-and-home arrangement contributed some.
So when UCLA fell behind 17-7 on Saturday – its fans in the stadium red-faced not only because of the heat but also because of the ignominy – the football team had faith it could clean it up.
In just the first quarter alone, Thompson-Robinson threw an interception, Nicholas Barr-Mira’s punt was blocked and returned for a touchdown. The Bruins also were called for delay of game and Jake Bobo muffed a punt and, on another occasion, didn’t switch out of his No. 9 jersey into 87 to avoid duplicate numbers on the field.
But that’s why they play preseason games, right? To scratch off the rust?
“We made some mistakes and that’s what you have to do,” Kelly said after watching his side score the final 38 points Saturday. “We don’t have preseason games. When you’re in a practice situation and someone makes a mistake, you do it over. You don’t get do-overs here. We did dig ourselves a little bit of a hole to start, but I was really proud of the way our guys responded.”
Thompson-Robinson noted that the Bruins’ guests were kind enough bring a few brain teasers with them from Ohio.
“We had been working on different protections and slotting guys different ways and seeing who they were gonna come off at different points,” Thompson-Robinson said. “And they ended up changing the whole thing come the first quarter. So definitely having to evade some free rushers throw hot a few times, just get the ball out of my hand but again just trying to stay on schedule, give coach Kelly an opportunity to call as many plays as he can on as many different downs. That was the biggest thing.”
Eventually, as expected, the Bruins overwhelmed their opponent with their talent, their depth and with their scientific acumen.
The heat left the Bruins without much on-site fan support. But it probably also benefitted UCLA that it wasn’t a pleasant 78-degree day in Pasadena, that the heat cramped the Falcons’ style so severely, leaving players in orange writhing on the hot grass turf darn near every other play in the second half.
The Bruins beat Bowling Green as much with their hydration plan as their game plan, a well-thought out strategy that included to-the-milliliter week-long hydration monitoring, careful electrolyte replacement and portable shade structures that the Falcons didn’t have on the east sideline.
And, in the end, they gave their most devoted, least fair-weather fans reason to muster up the energy to cheer.
And UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond reason to tweet out his thanks, posting a video of himself leaving the field: “That’s a wrap; Bruins win 45-17. To all the fans who came out today, thank you. It was a hot one out here, appreciate you coming.”
He also extended an invitation: “We’ll see you next Saturday.”
The forecast that days calls for a cloudy 91 degrees, with UCLA’s first FCS opponent in more than a century, in a game that ESPN’s Football Power Index gives the Bruins a 99.7% chance of winning.
Thank you to all who came out today. Know it wasn’t easy with the heat. Appreciate the support!! #GoBruins pic.twitter.com/5LYQDvauZ0

One patch of Kent has been found to be more dangerous than any other according to the latest yearly crime statistics . Chatham Central and Rochester Riverside saw more crime than anywhere else in the county in the year ending January 2022.
A total of 4,409 crimes were committed in that neighbourhood over those 12 months. When compared to the population, that works out as 439 crimes for every 1,000 people who live there. Of particular concern within this area is the high rate of violent and sexual offences. The most recent data revealed that there were 170 of these types of crimes for every 1,000 residents - the 11th highest rate in all England and Wales.
This neighbourhood also recorded the highest rates of burglary (15 per 1,000 residents), drug offences (12 per 1,000 residents), weapons offences (five per 1,000 residents), robbery (seven per 1,000 residents), and public order offences (42 per 1,000 residents).

Speaking on the level of crime in Chatham Central and Rochester Riverside, North Division Commander, Chief Superintendent Neil Loudon said officers focus their resources in the areas of the county where the most crimes are committed.
“Rochester and Chatham both benefit from a vibrant night-time economy as well as a bustling retail offering, and we work closely with partner agencies to ensure members of the public feel safe. Both town centres benefit from a dedicated team of officers who regularly patrol on foot in uniform and in plain clothes and are able to respond swiftly to reports of incidents.
Chatham Central
Located in the heart of Medway , Chatham Central is a key Medway Council ward. As of the most recent data from 2020, the area’s population is estimated to sit at around 17,500. The ward covers the area of Chatham South of the A2 Walderslade Road and Magpie Hall Road. The area is bounded by Magpie Hall Road and Maidstone Road and also includes also the area around Balfour Junior stretching out to Boundary Road and the All Saints area of Castle Road and Gordon Road.
Predominantly, the area is made up of residential spaces, primarily consisting of terraced or semi-detached housing and flats. There are a number of schools within the area also, namely, Fort Pitt Grammar School, Holcombe Grammar School, St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School, Balfour Junior School, St Michael’s RC Primary School, Phoenix Junior Academy and Greenvale Infant and Nursery School.
Also worth noting is that Chatham Central houses several large cemeteries. These include Chatham Cemetery, Palmerston Cemetery and the Fort Pitt Military Cemetery.
Within the area you will also find several key green spaces such as The Victoria Gardens and the Maidstone Road Sports Ground, the home of Chatham Town FC. Toward the north, the ward encompasses Chatham Railway Station, a short distance from bove which you will see the iconic Thomas Waghorn statue that has become a key landmark for the town.
Nearby is also the Wicks department store which in terms of retail is the largest store in the area, as the Chatham Central ward does not include the main High Street.Throughout the neighbourhood there are a number of pubs that prove popular among the locals, perhaps the most known of which is The Alexandra, an intimate establishment located right next to the railway station.
Supt Loudon added: “Officers are committed to preventing crime and work closely with security staff at shops, bars and nightclubs to identify potential disorder and intervene at an early stage. The team also proactively uses knife arches and dispersal areas to enhance public safety and deter offenders.
“We take advantage of every opportunity to reduce crime including, for example, ongoing community projects helping to reduce instances of violence against women and girls. We work closely with night-time venues, CCTV operators, Street Pastors, and local authority licensing teams to make the night-time economy an unwelcome place for those seeking to exploit others.
“This work depends on assistance from members of the public and I would urge anyone who has concerns about crime in their area to make a report via our website or by calling 101. If a crime is in progress, always dial 999.”

The third-ranked Georgia Bulldogs opened the 2022 season with a 49-3 victory over the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game in front of a record 76,490 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and an ABC nationally televised audience on Saturday evening.
With the win, Georgia improves to 99-27-3 in season openers, including 7-0 under head coach Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs move to 2-0 all time versus the Ducks.
"I was really proud of the way our kids played," said Georgia head coach Kirby Smart. "We tried to talk about coming out and playing as if we were hunting, and we wanted to play connected football. That was all we talked about all week; we're going to play connected, we're going to play aggressive, we're going to be a hunter."
Senior quarterback Stetson Bennett began his second season under center for the Bulldogs (1-0) with a 25-of-31 passing performance for 368 yards and two touchdowns. As a team, the Bulldogs ran for 132 yards on 25 attempts.
Senior tailback Kenny McIntosh led the team with 135 all-purpose yards (117 receiving and 18 rushing) and a touchdown, while redshirt-sophomore receiver Ladd McConkey registered 89 yards (73 receiving and 16 rushing) with a pair of touchdown. Junior tailback Kendal Milton led the Bulldogs with 50 yards rushing and two touchdowns (one rushing and one receiving).
The Georgia defense stood tall, holding Oregon out of the endzone and allowing 313 total yards of offense. The Bulldogs were especially impressive on third down, with the Ducks (0-1) only converting on 7-of-15 opportunities.
True freshman defensive back Malaki Starks led the team with eight tackles and an interception, while senior defensive back Christopher Smith and junior defensive back Dan Jackson each tallied five tackles.
After winning the coin toss and deferring the option to the second half, the Bulldogs forced the Ducks to punt on their opening drive. Georgia responded with a 12-play, 85-yard drive capped off by a nine-yard end-around touchdown by McConkey.
On the ensuing Oregon drive, quarterback Bo Nix was picked off by Starks, thanks to an acrobatic effort. The Bulldogs capitalized on the turnover with a seven play, 92-yard drive and resulting in a Bennett one-yard touchdown run.
Moments later, C. Smith logged the defenses second takeaway on another Nix interception. This marks C. Smith's second season opening game with an interception – a 74-yard pick-six against No. 3 Clemson in 2021. The Bulldogs again took advantage of the Oregon turnover, scoring on a McIntosh one-yard touchdown run to take a 21-0 lead in the second quarter.
The Ducks responded with a promising drive, but the Bulldogs held Oregon to a 35-yard field goal. Georgia answered with an eight-play, 75-yard drive, where Bennett improvised and found a wide-open McConkey for a four-yard touchdown pass to give the Bulldogs a 28-3 lead heading into the half.
Georgia opened the second half with a six-play, 64-yard drive that resulted in a Kendall Milton 14-yard rushing touchdown to take a 35-3 advantage. The Bulldogs continued their offensive dominance with a nine-play, 75-yard drive, capped off by a 18-yard AD Mitchell touchdown catch. Georgia went on to win 49-3.
Georgia will play host to Sanford (1-0) next Saturday at 4:00 p.m. at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium. The game will broadcast on SEC Network. | https://www.local3news.com/local-sports/georgia-throttles-oregon-49-3-in-season-opener-in-atlanta/article_7e0b061e-2bec-11ed-91e1-5b388727e09a.html | 2022-09-04T03:18:32Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-sports/georgia-throttles-oregon-49-3-in-season-opener-in-atlanta/article_7e0b061e-2bec-11ed-91e1-5b388727e09a.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
An Ohio father faces charges in the death of his 1-year-old son after he intentionally left the baby in a hot car, police said.
In a Facebook post, New Philadelphia Police Chief Michael Goodwin says the child was initially brought unresponsive into the emergency room by his father, 19-year-old Landon Parrot.
"During the initial investigation the Detectives found inconsistent information being given by the father," Chief Goodwin writes.
When investigators "confronted" Parrot with the inconsistencies in his story, police say he told them what happened.
"The child passed away after being left in the car unattended for approximately 5 hours, with an outside temperature of 87 degrees," according to Goodwin. "During the interview it appears that this was not a matter of forgetting the child but was a deliberate act so as the child would not be a disturbance while in the house."
Parrot faces charges of murder, two counts of endangering children and involuntary manslaughter, the police said in the Facebook post. He's being held at the Tuscarawas County Jail on a $250,000 dollar bond.
He was booked on Friday afternoon, according to the Tuscarawas County Sheriff's website.
CNN has been unable to determine if Parrot has an attorney.
There has been an increase in recent years in the number of children dying from being left in a hot car. There have been at least 929 pediatric vehicular heatstroke deaths since 1998, according to Jan Null, meteorologist and founder of noheatstroke.org. Of those deaths, 53% were because someone forgot a child in a car.
In 2018 and 2019, a record 53 children died each year from being left in a hot car, according to the National Safety Council. There have been 22 hot car deaths so far in 2022, according to noheatstroke.org.

An algae bloom has killed thousands of fish in the San Francisco Bay Area in recent weeks, officials say, forcing shoreline cleanups, spreading unpleasant odor and spurring scientists to further investigate the extent of the ecological damage.
The bloom was detected in late July in the Oakland and Alameda areas, and dead fish have since washed ashore in the bay as well as at Oakland's Lake Merritt, California fish and wildlife department spokesperson Jordan Traverso said.
"It's estimated that 10,000 yellowfin gobies died ... as well as hundreds of striped bass and hundreds of sturgeon," and the bloom probably is impacting all aquatic species in the area "to some degree," Traverso said.
The situation escalated early this week at Lake Merritt, where numerous dead fish began lining the shores, Oakland officials said. Parts of the lake's shoreline were nearly covered in the carcasses of tiny fish, with more sizable fish scattered about, images from the city and CNN affiliates KPIX and KGO showed.
A city-hired crew removed 1,200 pounds of fish from the lake's shores Wednesday, continued shore cleanup Thursday, and will remove floating material from the lake's surface into the weekend, the city government said online. It acknowledged unpleasant odors around the lake, abutted by a well-visited park and urban surroundings.
"You can smell -- it's not like, awful-awful, but there's definitely a stench," Mitchell Manburg, who was exercising in the area, told CNN affiliate KPIX this week, before the cleanup started.
Algae blooms and dead fish were reported not only along the Oakland and Lake Merritt shorelines, but also "for many miles to the north and south along the coastline," Oakland's release reads.
Precisely what killed the fish wasn't immediately known, but it's "likely related to dissolved oxygen levels and/or toxins produced by the algal bloom," Traverso said.
The cause of the bloom also wasn't clear. Oakland's government cited several potential sources and contributing conditions.
"Generally, increased inputs of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus (from fertilizers and human or animal wastes), low water flows, stagnant water, increased intensity and duration of sunlight, and sustained high temperatures create the ideal conditions for these blooms," the city's online post reads.
"Current research suggests that the rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns caused by climate change are a catalyst for their growth," the post continued.
Algae are a natural part of the ecosystem, but when they are overabundant the compounds they release can accumulate to levels harmful to wildlife and people, the California Water Quality Monitoring Council says.
The state fish and wildlife department is working to sample strategic locations to "verify the extent of the harm to fish and aquatic species," Traverso said.
Oakland's public works department and its water board detected "low levels of contaminants associated with harmful algae blooms" in May, the city said. The city then posted signs warning lake visitors that harmful algae might be there, and to not touch the water, it said.

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for the lengthy jailing of opponents of his who he claimed mishandled classified materials.
CNN's KFile reviewed comments from the former President, dating back to his first presidential campaign in 2016, from speeches, interviews and comments made on social media.
The former President is in potential legal jeopardy after the Justice Department's search of his Mar-a-Lago residence last month retrieved more than 100 classified documents, with the DOJ alleging that US government documents were "likely concealed and removed" from a storage room at the Florida resort as part of an effort to "obstruct" the FBI's investigation. More than 320 classified documents have now been recovered from Mar-a-Lago, the Justice Department said, including more than 100 in the FBI search earlier this month.
Speaking in 2016 about the government's decision not to charge Hillary Clinton with crimes related to their investigation into her handling of classified material and use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, then-candidate Trump repeatedly promised that his administration would strictly enforce all rules regarding classified material.
"On political corruption, we are going to restore honor to our government, '' Trump said in August 2016. "In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law."
"One of the first things we must do is to enforce all classification rules and to enforce all laws relating to the handling of classified information," he said in September 2016.
Speaking in July of that year, Trump said Clinton's mishandling "disqualifies" her from public service.
"Any government employee who engaged in this kind of behavior would be barred from handling classified information," Trump said. "Again, that alone disqualifies her."
It isn't just Clinton who Trump has criticized, he also repeatedly called for the jailing of other opponents for what he said was the mishandling of classified material.
In 2017, when calls between Trump and foreign governments were leaked, along with communications between incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and foreign governments, Trump suggested those responsible for the leaks should go to prison.
"That is the most confidential stuff," Trump said. "Classified. That's classified. You go to prison when you release stuff like that."
Trump also said several times that former FBI Director James Comey should be "prosecuted" in tweets pushing unfounded accusations that Comey disclosed classified information. A DOJ inspector general report found "no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media." The IG's office referred the findings of its report to the Justice Department for possible prosecution and prosecutors declined to bring charges.
"He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted," one Trump tweet in April 2018 said, with another saying Comey should be in jail.
Trump also repeatedly and strongly called for the prosecution of his former National Security Adviser John Bolton. Following the publication of Bolton's memoir from his time in the Trump White House, "The Room Where It Happened," Trump said that the book contained classified information.
A federal judge involved in one of the Bolton cases did find that he likely put national security at risk with his book, but the judge also rejected the Trump administration's attempt to block the book's publication.
In 2020, Trump told Fox News that Bolton should go to jail for "many, many years" for releasing the memoir.
"Classified information; he should go to jail for that for many, many years," Trump said.
In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, Trump again called for Bolton's imprisonment.
"Here's what he did: He released classified information, highly classified information and confidential information, all different categories," Trump said. "John Bolton should never have been allowed to do that. You know, the young sailor that sent a picture home to his mother and other people. They go to jail for a long period of time. You can't do that. And that was not nearly as vital, as important, as John Bolton."
Trump tweeted in June 2020 that Bolton was "washed up" until Trump hired him.
"I brought him back and gave him a chance," the tweet read. "[He] broke the law by releasing Classified Information, in massive amounts. He must pay a very big price for this, as others have before him. This should never to happen again!!!"
Trump later said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade that regardless of if Bolton unknowingly leaked information in his book "he should go to jail."
A Justice Department probe into Bolton was dropped in 2021, and he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" last year that his book "did go through a pre-publication review process" and that it "was cleared by the expert team that reviewed it, arduously."
For his part, the former President has insisted that he declassified all of the documents seized in the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago, claiming in a statement that he had a "standing order" saying "that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them."
The search warrant released by the Justice Department identified possible violations of three laws, none of which are solely dependent on if the information was classified.
In a court filing on Tuesday night, the Justice Department alleged that government documents were also "likely concealed and removed" from a storage room at Mar-a-Lago as part of an effort to "obstruct" the FBI's investigation into Trump's potential mishandling of classified materials.
In response, Trump acknowledged in a court filing Wednesday that classified material was found at Mar-a-Lago in January, but argued that it should not have been cause for alarm -- and should not have led to the search of Trump's Florida residence earlier this month.

The uncrewed Artemis I mission is ready for a second chance at launching on a historic journey around the moon.
The launch window opens at 2:17 p.m. ET and closes at 4:17 p.m. ET on Saturday. NASA's live coverage began at 5:45 a.m. ET on its website and TV channel.
Shortly before 5 a.m. ET, mission managers received a weather briefing and decided to proceed with loading propellant into the rocket. The countdown clock resumed at 7:07 a.m. ET.
There is a 60% chance of favorable weather conditions for the launch, with chances increasing to 80% favorable toward the end of the window, according to weather officer Melody Lovin.
The Artemis I stack, which includes the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, sits on Launchpad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The Artemis I mission is just the beginning of a program that will aim to return humans to the moon and eventually land crewed missions on Mars.
If the mission launches on Saturday, it will go on a journey around the moon and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on October 11. There is still a backup opportunity for the Artemis I mission to launch on September 5 as well.
In the last few days, the launch team has taken time to address issues, like hydrogen leaks, that cropped up ahead of Monday's planned launch before it was scrubbed. The team has also completed a risk assessment of an engine conditioning issue and a foam crack that also cropped up, according to NASA officials.
Both are considered to be acceptable risks heading into the launch countdown, according to Mike Sarafin, Artemis mission manager.
On Monday, a sensor on one of the rocket's four RS-25 engines, identified as engine #3, reflected that the engine could not reach the proper temperature range required for the engine to start at liftoff.
The engines need to be thermally conditioned before super-cold propellant flows through them before liftoff. To prevent the engines from experiencing any temperature shocks, launch controllers gradually increase the pressure of the core stage liquid hydrogen tank in the hours before launch to send a small amount of liquid hydrogen to the engines. This is known as a "bleed."
The team has since determined it was a bad sensor providing the reading -- they plan to ignore the faulty sensor moving forward, according to John Blevins, Space Launch Systems chief engineer.
The bleed is expected to occur around 8 a.m. ET, said Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, Artemis launch director for NASA's Exploration Ground Systems Program.
Mission overview
After Artemis I launches, Orion's journey will last 37 days as it travels to the moon, loops around it and returns to Earth -- traveling a total of 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers).
While the passenger list doesn't include any humans, it does have passengers: three mannequins and a plush Snoopy toy will ride in Orion.
The crew aboard Artemis I may sound a little unusual, but they each serve a purpose. Snoopy will serve as the zero gravity indicator -- meaning that he will begin to float inside the capsule once it reaches the space environment.
The mannequins, named Commander Moonikin Campos, Helga and Zohar, will measure the deep space radiation future crews could experience and test out new suit and shielding technology. A biology experiment carrying seeds, algae, fungi and yeast is also tucked inside Orion to measure how life reacts to this radiation as well.
Additional science experiments and technology demonstrations are also riding in a ring on the rocket. From there, 10 small satellites, called CubeSats, will detach and go their separate ways to collect information on the moon and the deep space environment.
Cameras inside and outside of Orion will share images and video throughout the mission, including live views from the Callisto experiment, which will capture a stream of Commander Moonikin Campos sitting in the commander's seat. And if you have an Amazon Alexa-enabled device, you can ask it about the mission's location each day.
Expect to see views of Earthrise similar to what was shared for the first time during the Apollo 8 mission back in 1968, but with much better cameras and technology.
The inaugural mission of the Artemis program will kick off a phase of NASA space exploration that intends to land diverse astronaut crews at previously unexplored regions of the moon -- on the Artemis II and Artemis III missions, slated for 2024 and 2025 respectively -- and eventually delivers crewed missions to Mars.

A worker at an airport who stole a twin-engine plane Saturday morning and threatened to crash it into a Mississippi Walmart was arrested after he eventually landed in a field, police said.
In a news conference Saturday, Tupelo Police Chief John Quaka identified the arrested pilot as Cory Wayne Patterson, an employee with Tupelo Aviation for the past 10 years.
Quaka said that at 5:08 a.m. local time, Patterson, of Shannon, Mississippi, stole a Beechcraft King Air C90 twin engine aircraft and took off from Tupelo Regional Airport.
"We do know Patterson has some flight instruction," Quaka said. "We do not believe he is a licensed pilot. That is still ongoing, to discover that."
As a lineman, Quaka said, Patterson is responsible for fueling aircraft. The chief said the plane was fully fueled the night before.
Around 5:23 a.m., Patterson called Lee County 911 from the aircraft and said he was going to crash the plane into the West Main Walmart in Tupelo, Quaka said. Soon thereafter, the store and surrounding areas were evacuated. Numerous major streets in Tupelo were shut down as well, according to the chief.
The Tupelo Walmart store was "closed and evacuated," Charles Crowson, director of the Walmart Press Office, told CNN earlier, while the plane was airborne.
Quaka said negotiators from Tupelo Police contacted the pilot and convinced him to land the plane at Tupelo airport. A private pilot assisted police in helping Patterson, but upon final approach the pilot aborted the landing and traveled northwest, Quaka said. Several counties were notified of what was going on, Quaka said.
More than four hours later, Patterson made a Facebook post. "In essence, it said goodbye. At this point, we knew he was getting close to running out of fuel," Quaka said.
After police lost and then re-established radar contact with the plane, Patterson confirmed he had landed in a field, according to the chief.
Soon thereafter, Patterson was taken into custody and charged with grand larceny and making terroristic threats, the chief said.
Quaka said he anticipated the federal government will proceed with federal charges.
The FAA says it is investigating the incident. The FBI field office in Jackson, Mississippi, also was involved in the incident response, a spokesperson said.
Roxanne Ward, 42, told CNN the plane landed behind the Gravestown Fire Department near her home about 10:20 a.m.
"He landed pretty hard," she said.
Video she shared with CNN shows the small plane largely intact in a field with law enforcement surrounding the pilot.
Ward heard the plane coming and ran over to her father-in-law's house to hide in the basement, she said. "That's when we heard the thud."
In response to a reporter's question, Quaka said he has been in contact with the pilot's family, who is "very concerned" about Patterson's well-being.
"Thankful the situation has been resolved and that no one was injured," Gov. Tate Reeves said in a tweet. "Thank you most of all to local, state, and federal law enforcement who managed this situation with extreme professionalism."

A pilot in Tupelo, Mississippi, is threatening to intentionally crash a small plane into a Walmart, police said Saturday morning.
"At this time the situation is ongoing with TPD and all Emergency Services in our area on alert," Tupelo Police said in a news release Saturday morning. "With the mobility of an airplane of that type the danger zone is much larger than even Tupelo."
The Tupelo Walmart store is "currently closed and evacuated," Charles Crowson, director of the Walmart Press Office, tells CNN.
"We're working closely with local investigators and are referring questions to law enforcement," he added.
The plane was reportedly north of Tupelo in the area of Benton and Union counties about 8:35 a.m. local time, police said in an update.
"Local, State and Federal Authorities are continuing to monitor this dangerous situation," the update said.
The airplane is "possibly King Air type," police said in their Facebook post.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

A student at Mergenthaler Vocational Technical High School in Baltimore, Maryland, has died after being shot Friday in the schoolyard, according to Baltimore Police.
School had just started for the year on Monday.
A suspect approached the victim, 17, during dismissal. The encounter became heated, and the suspect produced a firearm, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said at a news conference on Friday.
The suspect, also 17, shot at the victim multiple times, Harrison said.
The alleged shooter ran down the street, and school police apprehended him after a short pursuit without "incident or injury," Harrison said.
Authorities also recovered a firearm that the suspect was seen discarding, he said.
School police performed CPR on the student at the scene, who had life-threatening gunshot wounds, Baltimore Police said in a written statement. The victim was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a local hospital, the statement said.
"This is an extremely tragic situation, beyond tragic, happening on the grounds of a school in the beginning of the school year," Harrison said.
The person in custody is a student at another high school in the city, according to Harrison. Police have not yet named the victim or the suspect.
Baltimore City Public Schools CEO Sonja Santelises thanked police officers for apprehending the suspect "within seconds of the incident."
The school's safety plan was in place and school police were "at post" during dismissal, Santelises said. Police also said law enforcement were in the school yard during the shooting.
Following the violent incident, Santelises, along with Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, met with some students, according to CNN affiliate WBFF. After-school activities were also canceled, according to Baltimore City Public Schools. A large number of students witnessed the shooting, according to Santelises, and the school system is offering grief counseling next week, WBFF reported.
Harrison said the investigation is still ongoing and asked the public to contact police with any information.
Friday's shooting is the most recent incident of violence at the school, also known as Mervo. In April, a student stabbed two classmates during a fight, WBFF reported.

The Mets lost Max Scherzer, then they lost a game.
After Scherzer left with “fatigue on his left side” following the fifth inning and with the score tied, the Mets lost to the Nationals 7-1 on Saturday night at Citi Field.
While the Mets were left holding their collective breath over Scherzer’s status — he threw just 67 pitches before pulling himself with the score 1-1 — their three-game winning streak was snapped in front of 33,509.
The Mets’ bullpen kept the 1-1 tie intact until the eighth inning, when Lane Thomas cracked a solo home run off Adam Ottavino for a 2-1 Washington lead. Entering Saturday, Ottavino had allowed just two earned runs across 18 innings since the All-Star break.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, the Mets threatened against Nationals reliever Carl Edwards Jr. After Eduardo Escobar led off with a walk, he was erased at second on a fielder’s choice by Brandon Nimmo. Starling Marte followed with an infield single that put runners on first and second with two outs.
But Francisco Lindor could not take advantage, popping out to shortstop to end the frame.
The Nationals then broke the game open in the ninth inning against reliever Adonis Medina, when they scored five runs on five hits, a walk and an error. The right-hander faced seven hitters and recorded just one out before being replaced by Bryce Montes de Oca, who made his MLB debut after being called up earlier in the day. Montes de Oca allowed a single and a walk, but got the final two outs (including a strikeout) to leave the bases loaded.
It was a much quieter night for the Mets’ offense, which for a change could not crack Patrick Corbin. The Nationals southpaw entered the night with a 6.56 ERA on the season — though he had pitched better in his past two starts — including a 6.62 ERA (13 earned runs on 27 hits across 17 ²/₃ innings) in four starts against the Mets.
But on Saturday, the Mets could barely touch Corbin. He gave up just one run — on an Escobar solo home run in the third inning — three hits and one walk across seven strong innings.
Luis Garcia put the Nationals ahead 1-0 in the first inning, when he turned on Scherzer’s 94 mph fastball and crushed it 411 feet to right field.
After James McCann threw out an attempted base stealer in the second inning, the Mets used a heads-up play to get Scherzer out of a jam in the third. With one out and runners on first and second, Garcia hit a check-swing flair to shortstop. Lindor looked ready to catch the ball before letting it fall. Lindor flipped to second base for the force out before Jeff McNeil fired to third to get CJ Abrams, who got a late break, for the double play.
The Mets then tied it in the bottom of the third when Escobar homered for the second straight game. He did so as a right-handed hitter against the left-handed Corbin, a night after going deep as a left-handed hitter against righty Josiah Gray. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/max-scherzer-exits-with-left-side-fatigue-in-mets-loss/ | 2022-09-04T03:23:54Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/max-scherzer-exits-with-left-side-fatigue-in-mets-loss/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A federal jury awarded $31 million in damages to Vanessa Bryant and co-plaintiff Christopher Chester for cruel and reckless acts by members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff and Fire Departments following the January 2020 helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Kobe and Gianna Brynt and Chester’s daughter.
Bryant was awarded $16 million in damages, and Chester received $15 million.
Bryant left the courthouse without making a statement but did post a picture of her, Kobe, and their daughter Giannaon Instagram, captioning everything she does is for them and justice for both.
"This case has always been about accountability," Bryant’s attorney Luis Li said in a statement. "And now the jury has unanimously spoken."
After the verdict, county attorney Mira Hashmall, who oversaw counsel for L.A. County, released a statement.
"While we disagree with the jury's findings as to the County's liability, we believe the monetary award shows that jurors didn't believe the evidence supported the Plaintiffs' request of $75 million for emotional distress," Hashmall said. "We will be discussing the next steps with our client. Meanwhile, we hope the Bryant and Chester families continue to heal from their tragic loss."
Photos of the crash site were shared by police and fire personnel who had been on the scene. Photos were dispersed on social media, and evidence was presented of photos being shown to people not connected with the case in public places, including restaurants.
The photos showed wreckage from the helicopter and the victims’ crushed bodies. | https://www.stlamerican.com/arts_and_entertainment/hot_sheet/vanessa-bryant-awarded-16-million-in-damages-for-fatal-helicopter-crash-that-killed-kobe-and/article_114596dc-2766-11ed-bd2e-37d1e0b09ca0.html | 2022-09-04T03:34:39Z | stlamerican.com | control | https://www.stlamerican.com/arts_and_entertainment/hot_sheet/vanessa-bryant-awarded-16-million-in-damages-for-fatal-helicopter-crash-that-killed-kobe-and/article_114596dc-2766-11ed-bd2e-37d1e0b09ca0.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

NEW YORK -- Iga Swiatek is still only 21 years old, but she’s displayed some frightening consistency this year. During a 37-match winning streak, she won her second major at Roland Garros and WTA 1000s in Doha, Indian Wells, Miami and Rome.
She’s trying to become the first player since Serena to win seven titles in a single year -- and that was eight years ago, when Williams also became the last No.1 seed to take this title.
Swiatek took another step Saturday at the US Open. She defeated American Lauren Davis 6-3, 6-4 in a third-round match. But it was tougher than the score line indicated.
Moving in the right direction 👉@iga_swiatek is into R4 after reeling off 5 straight games to get past Davis 6-3, 6-4, equaling her best result in Flushing thus far!#USOpen pic.twitter.com/4uIrfIXhSt
— wta (@WTA) September 4, 2022
“I could not find my rhythm today,” Swiatek said in her on-court interview. “She played pretty smart. I’m pretty happy at the end that I could put balls in.
“I’m just trying to enjoy any match, even when I’m not perfect.”
In the summer hard-court season, though, Swiatek’s won only four of seven matches.
Against Davis, she came out firing, hitting nine winners (two aces) in the first two games, the second one a break of Davis’ serve. That offense, combined with her usual spotless defense, marked by her trademark squat shots and some screeching slides, was a lot for Davis to take in. Before serving at 2-5, Davis called for the trainer, who checked her temperature and blood pressure.
Swiatek won the first set when a 108 mph offering was not returned.
Davis came back in the second, taking the first three games. Swiatek got her first game after a grueling five-deuce affair that left both players winded. Davis saved three break points in the next game and eventually held.
Swiatek broke back to get to 3-4 and back on serve. Davis wound up losing the last five games of the match. Swiatek converted only three of 14 break points.
This equals Swiatek’s best result at the US Open, her 2021 run. She remains undefeated against players ranked outside the Top 100 in Grand Slam play (15-0). She’s won 53 matches this season and is already closing in on the most recent standard, 57, set three years ago by Ashleigh Barty.
Davis, in her 10th US Open main draw, equaled her best effort in a major by reaching the third round. The last (and only other) time she faced a World No.1, she played a heroic match, losing to Simona Halep 15-13 in the third set at the 2018 Australian Open. Davis is now 11-15 for the year.
Swiatek rose to the No.1 ranking back in April after Barty announced her retirement. The past five months have given her a greater appreciation of Serena’s staying power over the years.
“Being in this situation,” she said, “I know how tough it is sometimes to find balance and to actually stay focused on the proper things. I think she did very well. I have huge appreciation because it’s one of my goals actually to be consistent throughout my whole career, staying Top 10 for a long, long time.
“She was No.1 for a long, long time, so it’s pretty crazy. For sure, I understand it little bit more right now, how much work she has put into it.”
Swiatek will face Germany's Jule Niemeier in the fourth round. A quarterfinalist at Wimbledon earlier in the summer, Niemeier stunned Zheng Qinwen 6-4, 7-6(5) to make the Round of 16 in her tournament debut. Ranked No.108, Niemeier outhit Zheng with 22 winners, nearly doubling up on the rising Chinese star's 12. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779533/swiatek-takes-out-davis-into-fourth-round-of-us-open | 2022-09-04T03:44:20Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779533/swiatek-takes-out-davis-into-fourth-round-of-us-open | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Coco Gauff has been glowing in her praise of Serena Williams this week at the US Open, as the 23 time major champion concluded her professional career Friday night.
Gauff, 18, also sung the praises of Australian Nick Kyrgios in her press-conference Friday at Flushing Meadows. She recalled multiple times at the Miami Open, where despite Kyrgios already being on court for hours, the Australian chose to hit with her.
The first encounter came when she was 13 years old. Kyrgios, who just completed a practice session, stuck around to hit with Gauff for approximately 30 minutes. The following year, Gauff was even more shocked when Kyrgios concluded a grueling two-hour practice with Frances Tiafoe and despite thinking he would call it a day at the office, the Aussie continued practicing with Gauff for an extra hour.
“I know there's things on the court that he does that people don't agree with,” Gauff said. “I probably don't agree with some things. But it's just things like [hitting with a young kid] that stands out for me. That's why I feel like I can never dislike him because constantly when I see him around, he's always saying hello.
“It's just moments like that that people don't really see about him. So I think people paint him as a bad guy. I feel around the grounds, at least my experience of him, he's not.”
Gauff attests to those experiences with Kyrgios as part of her progression as a teenager, adding that the World No. 25 even offered a word of encouragement about her game.
“I think in the end it helped me in the long run as a player hitting with him,” she said. “He told me good things about my game. At that time I'm like, 'Nick Kyrgios thinks I'm a good player.' You start to believe that and gain confidence in that.”
Little did Kyrgios know that the young teen he was practicing with would someday share the largest tennis venue in the world, Arthur Ashe Stadium, with him in the fourth round of the season’s final Slam. On Sunday, both Gauff and Kyrgios look to advance to the quarterfinals at the US Open. The Aussie meets top-ranked Daniil Medvedev Sunday night, and according to Gauff, she will be a lifetime supporter of Kyrgios.
“If he keeps it up, I think he can go far. He can win the tournament,” she said. “We all know he has the ability to. He was close at Wimbledon. I always, always root for him, no matter who he's playing, to be honest.” | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779541/why-coco-gauff-always-roots-for-nick-kyrgios | 2022-09-04T03:44:26Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2779541/why-coco-gauff-always-roots-for-nick-kyrgios | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
If you want to build the ultimate mid-’80s rear-wheel drive Toyota, it turns out you don’t need to start with an AE86.
As it sits today, this 1987 Toyota Sprinter Trueno SR is about as far removed from the base-model AE85 econobox it rolled off Toyota’s production line as, as you could get, and owner Eiji Daito of Hiroshima-based tuning shop Total Create E.Prime wouldn’t have it any other way.
This wide-fendered Trueno is painted in Solar Orange, an exclusive colour used on limited edition Toyota 86s. It’s a fitting hue really, considering the it’s unique to a car that is itself a rebirth of an ’80s legend. Daito-san too, has given new life to a very basic three-door hatchback.
Considering the amount of chopping up, cutting out, grinding and spot seam-welding that has gone on with this Trueno, the fact that the build started with a (relatively) inexpensive base model AE85 makes total sense. Because if you didn’t know, as with all other popular Japanese performance cars from the ’80s and ’90s, genuine AE86s are worth a pretty penny these days.
Like the AE86, the AE85 hit the streets of Japan back in 1983. It shared the same chassis and basic body work of its sports-grade sibling, but instead of a 4A-GE under the hood the AE85 was fitted with a vanilla 1.5L 3A-U SOHC engine that returned great fuel economy – perfect for retirees and cash-conscious students at the time.
Despite its humble underpinnings, does the chassis number make Daito-san’s creation any less of a race-ready, show-stopper? Absolutely not. Forget about the numbers and prefixes; what Daito-san has built is his version of ultimate rear-wheel drive AE-chassis Toyota.
And like most of Daito-san’s AE-chassis builds, this one is set up for grip. Inside and out, it’s beautifully simple.
While chatting to Daito-san about his love for the Toyota platform, he told me firmly that he hates factory-standard cars. Understandably then, he’s used an ultra-wide Pandem front bumper, over-fenders, side skirts, rear under spoiler and duck tail, along with J Blood carbon door panels, rear hatch, bonnet and rear bumper spoilers to beef up the Trueno’s factory lines.
There’s also a Work Shop Takumi dry carbon roof and wiper cowl, plus HPI side and rear acrylic window, and Craft Square carbon door mirrors.
To fill those super-wide FRP arches, Daito-san is running a set of RAYS Volk Racing TE37V SL 2021 Limited wheels in a 15×10-inch (-25 offset) fitment, which coupled with 225/50R15 Yokohama Advan A050 semi-slicks translates to grip for days.
A lightweight and perfectly balanced rear-wheel drive chassis made the AE86 a favourite among amateur drifters and pro racing teams back in ’80s, and 40-odd years later it’s still appreciated, only now as a classic. The other thing that people have always loved about the Hachiroku is the high-revving, 1.6L twin cam 16-valve 4A-GE power plant up front. So let’s pop that hood and see what Daito-san has installed in his dream machine…
Obviously it’s not a 4A-GE, but Daito-san has stayed true to the Toyota lineage by fitting a 3S-GE BEAMS Dual VVT-i engine from an SXE10 Altezza RS200. Just like the 4A-GE, this engine had its cylinder head developed by Yamaha.
Fitting the 2.0L motor in the Trueno’s now wire-tucked and detailed bay was made a whole lot easier thanks to JSP Fab billet engine mounts and an SQ Engineering slimline rear housing for extra firewall clearance.
In stock form the Altezza engine made 200hp, but thanks to a few select modifications, Daito-san’s is surely making a few more ponies now. On the intake side, the engine features a Weldspeed billet intake manifold with Bosch Motorsport electronic throttle body, and a JSP Fab billet fuel rail.
On the exhaust side you’ll find a one-off, and very beautiful, E.Prime 4-2-1 stainless steel header. The un-silenced stainless exhaust system exits under the passenger side door with a neat flat-bottom outlet.
Other upgrades include a Ross Performance harmonic damper, flat-mounted GReddy aluminium radiator and a Link G4+ plug ‘n’ play Altezza engine management system.
What goes nicely with a 3S-GE BEAMS engine? The corresponding J160 6-speed manual gearbox of course. As with the engine, JSP Fab’s billet transmission mount – along with their 3S-GE-to-AE86 shifter relocation kit – made fitting the gearbox a straightforward affair. An ATS carbon clutch transfers the power.
Ultimately, Daito-san would like to fit an Altezza RS200 rear end in his Trueno, but for now a kouki T-series solid axle suffices with a TRD limited slip differential.
As well as building cars like this, E.Prime also has a line of Levin/Trueno tuning parts. The coilover set fitted to Daito-san’s Trueno is a good example of a lifetime’s worth of R&R distilled into parts that bolt right in. As for the brakes, the front end now benefits from a pair of Endless 4-pot monoblock callipers and 270mm Mazda FC3S RX-7 rotors, and the rear a 258mm setup.
There’s no mistaking the Trueno’s purpose when you open a door. Creature comforts have given way to a full race interior featuring a welded and gusseted E.Prime 14-point chromoly roll cage, custom carbon fibre dashboard, a Buddyclub bucket seat, Nardi steering wheel, TRD shift knob and a Link MXS 1.2 Strata Race Edition digital display. A Nissan accelerator pedal for the electronic throttle body is also used.
Coincidently, the cabin is painted in the same Subaru Legacy blue as the exterior of Daito-san’s turbocharged AE86 Levin 2-door coupe that we featured on 86 Day earlier in the month.
It’s amazing what you can do with a basic Toyota ’80s shell and 20 years of industry know-how. The fit and finish is superb, the paintwork flawless, the fabrication world class, and the sound this thing makes is rowdy. Have a listen for yourself.
In order to keep his business booming, unfortunately Daito-san doesn’t just exclusively build Levins and Truenos (his blue S13 Silvia pictured above is a standout), but given the choice, I think that’s exactly what he would do. Daito-san’s certainly got enough of them peppered across his property, so I’m sure this won’t be the last AE demo car creation we see from E.Prime.

I gathered myself up early last Saturday morning, took a two-hour ferry ride to Finland, and then drove on to the lakeside city of Lahti, just over 60 miles from Helsinki. Here, a bunch of enthusiasts known as the CDLC Community hosted what I believe to be the best stance show ever seen in Northern Europe.
Being the last weekend of summer, I wanted to spend it with great people and cars, and FittedFest 2022 delivered on both counts.
FittedFest is CDLC’s biggest event, traditionally held this time of the year at the superb Lahti Harbour location.
After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, I had a felling that this year’s FittedFest was going to be bigger than ever. CDLC’s social media machine was working overtime, sharing profiles of all the cars being prepped for the event. The hype was real.
I’ve been following this event for many years, and over that time it’s grown hugely. New for 2022, the CDLC combined the official show area with an extra meet in the parking lot.
But even though FittedFest’s physical size was doubled, I still noticed so many worthy cars parked outside of the event confines. It just goes to show how car culture is growing in this region, and especially with regard to high-quality builds.
For the most part this is a local event with the vast majority of cars coming from Finland. But it was also good to see a small number of guests making the journey from Sweden, Estonia and Latvia.
Something great to see was the evolution of a number of cars. Take this Opel Kadett I’ve featured in the past as an example. Because a project is never truly finished, right?
While many cars at FittedFest followed tried and true recipes, others surprised me. These two Mercedes-Benzes definitely fell into the latter category. Both looked ‘normal’ from the front, but as I changed angle one became a bonkers 9-second street car and the other a stanced limo.
Even the lowriders were equipped with proper hydraulics, a rare sight in Europe.
Europe really is spoilt for choice when it comes to stance-centric events these days. Ultrace in Poland is surely at the top of the list, together with Wörthersee in Austria and Players in the UK. Like those events, FittedFest prides itself on clean execution plus a general feel-good attitude.
CDLC Community really is like a big family, with everyone knowing each other and hanging together.
The ‘People’s Choice’ and the ‘Overall Winner’ of this year’s event was a sparkling drift-spec Hachiroku. Janne Mattila, the AE86 Levin’s owner, painted the car in candy red less than a week before the event. The lowrider-inspired roof is Janne’s handiwork too, but this was done a bit earlier. The Toyota sits on Work Equip 01 wheels, while the Precision-turbo-equipped 4A-GE engine puts out close to 600hp.
Just as this AE86 combines a number of styles in one car, FittedFest itself is a melting pot of car culture. Niko Aaltonen and Antti Eskeli, the co-founders of CDLC, are totally in touch with the latest trends, but they clearly have not forgotten their roots, playing old school hip-hop and inviting lowriders and customs to a stance meet. Long may FittedFest continue.

Simply awesome style... Feels like the whole is starting to figure out what to do with all the stuff and trends that have blown up the past 25 years. *Slow clap*
Congrats to all those owners getting their rides to these levels!
Is that Samurai really rotary powered?!
That caught my eye as well, looks awesome. Look forward to the feature. Impressive collection of cars on display, thanks for capturing it.
Web masters of Speedhunters, please make your job, secure this website, it's free :s
That smiling Shiba Inu is the best shot in this story! What does he/she drive?(ha ha) | http://www.speedhunters.com/2022/09/fittedfest-sending-off-a-summer-of-stance-in-finland/ | 2022-09-04T03:46:07Z | speedhunters.com | control | http://www.speedhunters.com/2022/09/fittedfest-sending-off-a-summer-of-stance-in-finland/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Prodrive’s origins started in motorsport, founded in 1983 by David Richards, who at the time was an accomplished rally co-driver having won the 1981 World Rally Championship sat alongside Ari Vatanen. The knowledge and expertise David gained during those formative years meant that when Prodrive set up as a motorsport team, they hit the ground running. There’s been no slowing down in the 38 years since.
I’d been itching to have a look around Prodrive’s expansive facility in Banbury, Oxfordshire for a Speedhunters feature, so when an opportunity to do just that came up, I wasn’t going to let it pass me by.
Walking through the main entrance, a bold statement confronts you. Three Prodrive products, rotated on a semi-regular basis: Metro 6R4, WRC MINI Clubman and the Safari-spec S6 Impreza. Each of these cars has its place in the history of the company’s motorsport endeavours, and it gives you a preview of what to expect.
Also on display was an engine usually found deep inside of the BTCC Mondeo I spotlighted a few months back.
Through another set of double doors, you are met with instantly-recognisable automobiles; cars that have adorned the pages of motorsport magazines and television screens for generations.
While it predates Prodrive by quite a few years, the Mk2 Ford Escort holds a special place for David. This is the very car he was co-driver in all those years ago. After much convincing, the most recent owner eventually agreed to sell the Escort to David, and it’s since had a complete restoration, right down to the hand-painted livery.
Prodrive’s relationship with Subaru is how most of us came to know the company, but this did not take place till much later. It started with Prodrive entering the Porsche 911 SC RS into the Qatar International Rally in 1984, which it won on its inaugural outing.
The 911 SC RS was pushed through to compete in Group B when delays in 959 homologation meant that car wouldn’t be ready in time, but it wasn’t smooth sailing with the 911. Prior to Prodrive’s involvement, the 911 proved troublesome and unreliable over the rough terrain. A host of mechanical and structural improvements were applied and the team won five out of the 13 rallies the car competed in between 1984 and 1987.
Following on from their successes with the Porsche, Prodrive then set about developing the BMW E30 M3 into a competitive package for rally and circuit racing. Prodrive-built cars took multiple event and championship victories in both codes. In the past, Prodrive has built and campaigned touring cars for BMW, Alfa Romeo, Honda and Ford.
From that point on, the link to Subaru was formed, first with the Legacy and then the various iterations of the GC8-chassis Impreza. The working relationship between Ari Vatanen and David Richards was rekindled with the Group A Legacy, however this time as driver and team principal. This particular car sadly never saw much success in competition, finishing 4th at the 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland.
It was a different story for the Impreza, of which a very special example sits in the collection. This car brought Colin McRae and Subaru their first WRC drivers and constructors titles respectively in the 1995 World Rally Championship and truly cemented the longstanding partnership between the manufacturer and motorsports specialist.
Over the subsequent years two more drivers championship trophies and numerous podiums found home within the halls of the Banbury HQ, but ultimately the recession and downturn in the economy in 2009 sadly resulted in Subaru and Prodrive withdrawing from the WRC.
In 2001, Prodrive entered into GT endurance racing with the Ferrari 550 Maranello, built for the then new GT1 class regulations. They ran for four years and won the GT class at the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans and took overall honours at the Spa 24 Hours in 2004.
Following on from that success, Prodrive has campaigned Aston Martins in various GT classes since 2007, starting with the DBR9 and then in the later years moving onto the Vantage platform. Having run the Aston Martin Works GTE entries, Prodrive also designs, builds and operates GT3 and GT4 variants for privateer entries across numerous global championships.
For those unaware, GTE cars competed in what was once the GT2 class, and are designed as manufacturer entries. To the untrained eye, customer-based GT3s and GT4s may look similar to GTEs, however they are more closely related to their production-based origins in both specification and price. GTE car prices run in the region of £1 million, whereas a GT3 car is closer to £350,000.
This substantial difference in cost alludes to the extent GTE cars are modified; carbon fibre body panels and a more aggressive aerodynamics package are only some of the alterations. Despite running similar power levels, these differences mean GTE cars are significantly faster.
Prodrive currently builds a GT3/4 Vantage at a rate of one a week, with over 200 cars sold to date. These along with shells for other projects make their way through the fabrication shop to receive a full weld-in roll cage, with all sub assemblies and other components built by one of the skilled team next door.
A Hunter T1+ space-frame and Aston Martin sat on the in-floor jigs, along with a slew of GT4 roll cages ready to be fitted.
A Ford Falcon may seem a bit out of place, not being something seen on British circuits. Its presence is for good reason – Prodrive ran the Ford Performance V8 Supercar program in Australia for 10 seasons.
For two years Prodrive managed the BAR Honda F1 Team (2002-2004), but unfortunately this relationship had a few challenges and was ended before the team found their stride.
The Dakar program has been a key focus for the company for a few years now, debuting the Prodrive Hunter in 2021. The Hunter also competes in the T1+ category of the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC). More will follow as I dedicate a feature to Prodrive’s newly released road-legal equivalent.
Advanced Technologies is the department that, truth be told, I never realised existed before I visited Prodrive. A huge portion of Prodrive’s business is the design, prototyping and production of subsystems, components, composites and vehicle development for other manufacturers. The collective knowledge within the company means that they have made everything from the hydraulic rear wing assembly of the McLaren P1, to the motorised champagne and flute chiller for the interior of Range Rovers and, most notably, ventilators for hospitals during the early days of the Covid pandemic.
Multiple CNC machines allow for many simultaneous workloads, turning large chunks of billet into useable components in a fraction of the time it would take compared to outsourced manufacturing.
London natives may recognise these Ford Transits, which are now electric-based but feature a single cylinder combustion engine acting as a range extender. Ford challenged Prodrive to redesign the existing platform to fit the electric motors and a combustion EcoBoost engine into the Transit and produce 28 prototypes, all without impacting the cab or load space. This was all achieved in just 18 months.
As is often the way with companies dealing in current and future technology, there was much that I saw that I wasn’t allowed to photograph or talk about at Prodrive, and it was very subtly inferred that there was way more than I wasn’t even allowed to see. The non-disclosure agreement you sign at the first point of entry made sure of that.
The P25 project that’s caused a bit of a stir online is one of these, but between my visit and this feature going live, it was unveiled at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
There are more ventures – both motorsport and otherwise – which have had Prodrive involvement than I have space to mention here. Each car and trophy on display has its part in time-stamping an era in the company and serves as a reminder of what can be accomplished given the opportunity.
Some of these serve as reminders of what could have been.
After my visit, I had one takeaway: Prodrive as a company are incredibly talented and versatile, but they don’t shout about it. You don’t see them advertising in the automotive press or online. The saying ‘speak softly and carry a big stick’ comes to mind.
Since the company’s inception, Prodrive have accrued the collective knowledge, capability and most importantly passion to succeed in whatever remit required. If you have an idea (and the pre-requisite budget), you would be well served having this team in your corner.

I have always wanted to see inside this factory and it is amazing to see such well made cars on the site again.
Chaydon - What an incredible visit. So many legendary icons, and all at the place they were built!
Just that Bastos E30 M3; I'd have been stuck to it like glue looking at it closely all day long.
I'd be willing to bet this is one that'll stay in your mind as one of the best experiences ever through your work with Pistonheads... | http://www.speedhunters.com/2022/09/prodrive-where-performance-and-passion-intersect/ | 2022-09-04T03:46:13Z | speedhunters.com | control | http://www.speedhunters.com/2022/09/prodrive-where-performance-and-passion-intersect/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Recently, Sime Armoyan, a large shareholder of Slate Office REIT (TSE: SOT.UN), has been buying a considerable amount of SOT.UN stock. Could this mean that the company is undervalued and has upside potential ahead? Possibly. Slate Office REITs’ valuation suggests upside potential ahead. However, analysts don’t seem too optimistic, but they still think there is some upside potential. Additionally, the stock has a high 9% dividend yield. Therefore, it seems like it could be a solid investment.
Offices Can Survive Despite Work-from-Home Trends
Slate Office REIT develops, owns, and manages office real estate in Canada. Although some may argue that office real estate is a dying industry due to work-from-home trends causing many people not to need an office, Slate Office REIT thinks differently.
The company’s website states, “We have a strong conviction in the office sector and believe that physical workspace is an essential enabler of collaboration, culture, and innovation. We also believe there is an opportunity to align our portfolio with tenants and industries that continue to drive strong demand for office space.”
Both sides of the argument make sense. Offices will probably never completely disappear, as they allow employees to communicate better, and some people like working in an office setting.
Also, it’s possible for companies to continue growing despite being in a tough industry — just ask tobacco products retailer Altria (NYSE: MO), whose free cash flow and revenues are near record levels. Therefore, as long as the company knows how to optimize its operations, it should be fine.
Insider Sime Armoyan Buys SOT.UN Stock — Why It Matters
Sime Armoyan’s recent buys are important to note for a few key reasons. First, he is a five-star-rated insider, ranked #169 out of 94,882 insiders on TipRanks, with an average return of 17.7% per transaction and a success rate of 63% (measured on a one-year basis). Therefore, his transactions have been worth following.
Also, his transactions are classified as “Informative Buys,” which hold more weight than “Uninformative Buys.” He’s made many purchases recently, starting four months ago, with the most recent buy taking place yesterday.
Just in the past three months, he has bought over C$13.4 million worth of SOT.UN stock. The recent buys ranged from prices of C$4.45 to C$4.85 per share, with the stock currently trading at C$4.43.
Is Slate Office REIT Stock Undervalued?
It’s quite possible that SOT.UN stock is undervalued, which would justify the insider buying. An important and easy valuation metric to use for Canadian REITs is the price-to-book ratio. Note that this metric isn’t as useful for American REITs due to accounting differences.
Slate Office REIT’s price-to-book ratio is around 0.51x, meaning that it’s trading at a large discount to its net worth. This metric alone gives it almost 100% upside potential before it reaches 1.0x. However, let’s not get too optimistic since its five-year average book value is 0.7x, meaning that it has traded at a discount for a while.
While the company does create some value for shareholders, as its book value per share has grown at a 1.6% CAGR for the past five years, this is nothing to get excited about. Therefore, not much extra upside potential should be expected if the stock does eventually reach its book value.
In addition, here’s what we mentioned in a recent article about a different REIT in a similar situation: “One thing to keep in mind is that its book value may potentially drop in the short term because rising interest rates are causing property values to fall, which somewhat justifies the discount. However, there is that margin of safety, and a drop is likely to be temporary in nature, in our opinion.”
Is Slate Office REITs Dividend Worth It?
As mentioned earlier, Slate Office REIT has a ~9% dividend that is paid monthly. This is worth it for income investors that are looking for consistent monthly returns. However, don’t expect much growth. Its dividend has been flat for the past three years after being cut in 2019.
Nonetheless, its dividend is covered, as the company’s adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) payout ratio was ~74% in Q2.
Is SOT.UN Stock a Buy, Hold, or Sell?
According to analysts, Slate Office REIT stock earns a Hold consensus rating based on four unanimous Hold ratings assigned in the past three months. The average SOT.UN stock price target of C$4.81 implies 8.6% upside potential. Analyst price targets range from a high of C$5.00 to a low of C$4.50.
Conclusion: Slate Office REITs Insider Buying Looks Justified
Slate Office REIT has a few things going for it that make it look like an attractive investment. First, a highly-rated insider has been buying up shares at around current prices. Also, it’s trading for about half of its net worth, implying solid upside potential in that regard. In the meantime, investors would be receiving a high 9% dividend yield. Nonetheless, analysts only expect 8.6% upside potential, but the stock is still worth looking into. | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/five-star-insider-buys-9-yielding-slate-office-reit-should-you | 2022-09-04T03:57:37Z | tipranks.com | control | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/five-star-insider-buys-9-yielding-slate-office-reit-should-you | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Undefeated West M dominant in rout
FALLS TOWNSHIP — West Muskingum showed the maturity of a veteran team on Saturday.
The Tornadoes dominated in all phases and took advantage of several Cincinnati Shroder miscues in a 56-14 rout at West Muskingum Athletic Booster Field.
The victory sets up a showdown of 3-0 teams next week when New Lexington visits Whirlwind Stadium.
"We knew Shroder was rebuilding, but we came away healthy and we executed the way we expected," West M coach Nate Brownrigg said. "We had a good week of practice, and our team's IQ continues to grow. That's a credit to our coaches, and our guys took care of business like they needed to today.
"We will need another great week of practice against a really good New Lex team," Brownrigg added. "(Lukas) Ratliff is a talented quarterback, and Coach (Kevin) Board puts together good schemes. We're going to have to be able to get off the ball, find a way to put pressure on them and play with discipline. It starts with being on point at practice all week so we can set the stage for a big game."
Ty Shawger and Jake Anton each accounted for four touchdowns to highlight the Tornadoes' effort against the Jaguars, who took the game's opening drive to the West M 29-yard line. But, Conner Hall intercepted Shroder quarterback Kai Smith and returned it to the Jaguars 36.
Three plays later, Anton hit Shawger on a swing pass for a 17-yard score for a 6-0 lead.
The Jaguars turned it over on their next play, as Carter Winland recovered a fumble from his linebacker spot. On the next play, Anton again found Shawger on the same swing pass for a 38-yard touchdown. Silas Kuhn's first extra point made it 13-0.
A short Jaguars punt and a 20-yard return by Slater Sampsel set up West M's next score, as Anton rumbled in from five yards out with 30 seconds left in the first quarter. The lead was 20-0 after one stanza after Kuhn's second PAT.
The onslaught continued in the second quarter. Shroder's bad snap on a punt rolled out of the end zone for a safety, and Shawger returned the ensuing free kick 50 yards to the Jaguars' 5. On the next play, Shawger strolled into the end zone for his third touchdown, as the lead grew to 29-0.
The Tornadoes added three more TDs in the quarter. Shawger had an 8-yard scoring run, Anton connected with Winland for a 36-yard scoring strike, and Dylan Padgett contributed a 13-yard TD scamper and Kuhn made all four of his extra points in the quarter for a 50-0 advantage.
The lead was 50-6 at the half after Smith had an 86-yard touchdown run for the Jaguars.
Shawger, who had more than 150 all-purpose yards, felt the Tornadoes played with energy from the opening whistle.
"We started slow against Lakewood in the opener, but we finished that one. The past two games we've played with better effort and energy," Shawger said. "We feel like we're starting to play to our potential, but we know it's going to take four great days of practice to be ready for New Lex. We have to be focused all week and to play with 100% effort and energy (against the Panthers)."
Each team scored in the second half. Braxton Brownrigg connected with Connor Paima on a TD for the Tornadoes, and Smith added a 60-yard TD run for the Jaguars.
The production of Shawger is among the reasons for the 3-0 start. Brownrigg has also been impressed with Anton stepping in for the injured Rashid Sesay and the overall depth of his squad.
"We were disappointed when we lost Rashid, but our numbers allow us to lean on our depth," Brownrigg said. "We have multiple guys with the potential to do a lot of things. Ty has worked hard in the weight room and bought into everything we're doing, and Jake has taken advantage of his opportunity. Both are great kids with good football IQs, and it's exciting to coach kids like them."
More experience with Brownrigg and his coaches have aided the Tornadoes' development. Shawger believes the results can be seen on the field.
"Our coaches can be more advanced with the play calling, and we can do more things," Shawger said. "This team has gotten smarter on the field, and that shows in how we're playing."
West Muskingum has many tests ahead, starting with New Lexington. Brownrigg noted having games like this at home are a plus, as he will see his team's true mettle.
"It's great to have games like this here with our community out supporting us," Brownrigg noted. "The next three, four weeks are going to tell us a lot about ourselves."

Cloudflare drops service for harassment site Kiwi Farms
Web infrastructure and security services provider Cloudflare announced Saturday it was immediately blocking the Kiwi Farms site known for organizing the harassment and targeting of transgender people.
Driving the news: In the face of an activist campaign pressing the company to stop providing services to Kiwi Farms, Cloudflare had seemed to be digging in its heels, per an Aug, 31 blog posting by CEO Matthew Prince.
Yes, but: "The rhetoric on the Kiwifarms site and specific, targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life unlike we have previously seen from Kiwifarms or any other customer before," Prince wrote in a new post Saturday.
Why it matters: Cloudflare has long held that its role as a provider of back-end website services means that it should not play a role in assessing or censoring the content its customers distribute.
- But the company has also withdrawn services in the past from customers including the Nazi Daily Stormer website after the 2017 Charlottesville rally. In 2019, Cloudflare dropped the 8chan troll haven after mass shooters used the site to distribute racist "manifestos."
Catch up quick: Kiwi Farms is a 10-year-old site that emerged from 8chan and has been dedicated to organizing campaigns aimed at trans, autistic and other individuals. In several cases targets of such campaigns have committed suicide.
- Cloudflare's services are widely used by website publishers to distribute content efficiently and to protect their sites from denial-of-service attacks.
What they're saying:
- Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince: "This is an extraordinary decision for us to make and, given Cloudflare's role as an Internet infrastructure provider, a dangerous one that we are not comfortable with.... We are also not taking this action directly because of the pressure campaign. While we have empathy for its organizers, we are committed as a security provider to protecting our customers even when they run deeply afoul of popular opinion or even our own morals.... In this case the imminent and emergency threat to human life which continues to escalate causes us to take this action."
- Protest organizer Claire "Keffals" Sorrenti, a trans Twitch streamer and target of a Kiwi Farms harassment campaign, in a statement on Twitter: ""This is a historical moment where thousands of people have stood up and taken a stance against online harassment and hate. We're happy with the decision that Cloudflare came to, and this deals a big blow to Kiwi Farms and their community, one they may never recover from."
- Kiwi Farms operator Josh Moon, in a statement posted on Telegram: Cloudflare's decision to block the site was done without any discussion. The message I've received is a vague suspension notice.... If there is any threat to life on the site, I have received no communication from any law enforcement." | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/04/cloudflare-drops-kiwi-farms-harassment | 2022-09-04T04:24:14Z | axios.com | control | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/04/cloudflare-drops-kiwi-farms-harassment | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

According to the Managing Director of Edo State Skills Development Agency, EdoJobs, Ukinebo Dare, “this film festival — the first of it’s kind, has come at the right time in entrenching the Benin roots in the film industry and what better way to kickstart this, if not with our very own Linda Osifo who’s an exceptional talent in the industry to represent this event”.
Expressing her joy at the recognition, Usifo said “It is an honour to be recognised in the field of my talent as a worthy representative of the Edo State International Film Festival 2022.

Taking shows around the world and hosting events may have become the mainstay of popular entertainer, Olofinjana Ademola, popularly known as Olofin Sniper in the last few years but Sniper seems to be aiming for new heights.
Sniper, a Dubai-based show promoter has worked with top Nigerian music artistes on events and music collaborations in the last one year in a bid to building his brand and giving it a global appeal. From Nigeria to Europe, he has his imprint on many shows and tours but the young entertainment lover says giving the people unrivalled entertainment experience is his greatest joy.
Speaking about his working relationship with music stars and other event promoters, one that has helped him to build a unique brand for himself in United Arab Emirates (UAE), Europe and some parts of Africa, Sniper who is the founder of Sniper Entertainment disclosed that being an event promoter has gone beyond taking artistes on tour but evolved into giving a total experience that redefines the standard of the live concert.
According to him, with more people now attending multi-day, outdoor concerts and festivals, it is pertinent for event promoters to be in tune with the new order. This is the trend my brand has evolved into and resulted into the success of the massive social events and mega concerts I have done in the past few years.
“I have been doing this for a while and I know that when an artiste goes on tour, he wants to be satisfied. He wants to get value. The audience also wants you to show them why they have to come back for more shows,” he said.
But I discovered that many people focus on money and not service,” he said.
According to him, taking musicians on tour of different counties and cities is fascinating and challenging , saying “the atmosphere in Kenya may be different from Dubai or Europe. Not everybody would be receptive to you but you must learn to understand territories and how to operate when you get there”, he said.
“People don’t just want to attend shows these days, they want a total experience and that is what my company Sniper Entertainment has been known for in Dubai and other parts of the world where we have had our imprint.”
Also shedding light on what he has been up to in the last one year, Sniper said he has worked with top music acts back to back including Portable, Ruger, Ti Blaze Oladips, Candy Bleakz and Goya Menor. He added that he also did a music production with Skales few days back.

LOS ANGELES – Never underestimate the restorative powers of a good night’s sleep.
After a cross-country flight that brought them back from New York in the late-night hours, the Dodgers were held to one run on four hits Friday night. Given a day to sleep in and shake off the effects of jet lag, they pounded the San Diego Padres, hitting four home runs through the super-heated Southern California air in a 12-1 rout Saturday night.
The win snapped the Dodgers’ first three-game losing streak since June 8-10 and shrank their magic number to clinch another NL West title down to 12.
Trea Turner got a little ‘me’ time after the late arrival, getting his first day off this season on Friday and responded with a two-run home run in his first at-bat Saturday. Mookie Betts got his break in the form of a night at second base and responded with a three-run home run, breaking his previous career-high in homers.
Justin Turner hit the third homer off Padres starter Sean Manaea who has found facing the Dodgers the most daunting part of his move from Oakland to San Diego this season. In three starts against the Dodgers this season, Manaea has a 15.63 ERA (22 earned runs in 12 ⅔ innings) and the Dodgers have batted .397 (25 for 63) with five doubles, a triple and five home runs.
Betts led off with that triple in the bottom of the first inning, a gift from Padres right fielder Juan Soto who took a less-than-direct route towards the slicing line drive then tumbled to the ground after he was unable to reach it.
Turner followed with his first home run in 113 plate appearances and first extra-base hit in 33. He had taken a 7-for-30 slump into his first off day Friday.
In the third, Freddie Freeman singled off the second base bag (the first of his three hits in the game) and scored from first base on Will Smith’s two-out double. Smith later added a three-run home run for a four-RBI night, giving him 79 for the season. Saturday’s came as a DH but he leads all catchers in RBI.
Betts’ 33rd home run of the season came in the fourth inning with two on and two out. It topped his previous best (32 during his AL MVP season in 2018) and tied Joc Pederson (2019) for the most in franchise history from a leadoff hitter.
Turner’s two-run home run was only his second since July 8 (and 10th of the season). But he has come alive offensively in that time, batting .345 (38 for 110) with 24 RBI in his past 30 games.
That was more than enough to back Julio Urias who seems to be getting stronger as the season goes on. He allowed one run on two hits (one of them a solo home run by Manny Machado that did not go over well with the Dodger Stadium crowd) in six innings against the Padres.
He struck out only two and walked three but it was the sixth consecutive start in which Urias has allowed one run or no runs and the eighth time in his past nine starts. In 16 starts since the beginning of June, Urias has gone 12-2 with a 1.94 ERA, holding batters to a .172 average.
Blake Treinen made his first big-league appearance since April 14, retiring the side in order in the seventh inning.

DEL MAR — It wasn’t Secretariat’s 31-length romp in the Belmont Stakes, but you’d have a difficult time convincing many in the on-track crowd of 12,077 at Del Mar on Saturday that Flightline isn’t the best horse they’ve ever seen.
The question heading into the $1 million Grade I Pacific Classic was whether Flightline could carry his speed a mile and a quarter, but it should have been how many lengths he’d win by. If you had the overs on 19, count yourself a winner.
Flightline made the 32nd running of Del Mar’s signature race his very own, running away from a field that included three other Grade I winners to win by a record 19 1/4 lengths, shattering Accelerate’s 12 1/2-length margin in 2018. He’s now won all five of his races by an astounding 62 3/4 lengths.
The final time of 1:59.28 was only a few ticks off Candy Ride’s track record of 1:59.11 set during the 2003 Pacific Classic. Perhaps track announcer Trevor Denman said it best when he told the fans as Flightline turned for home, “Flightline and Flavien Prat with an embarrassing lead … take a good look at this because you’re not going to see this too often, maybe never again.”
Trainer John Sadler, asked if he thought he’d witness such a performance, was truthful.
“Yeah, kinda,” he said. “You can say it after the race, but you can’t say it going in because you look like a jerk.”
Co-owner Kosta Hronis entered the post-race news conference gleefully telling reporters, “Well, I guess Flightline can go two turns.”
Added Hronis: “A longtime horseman who’s been at this track a long time walked up to me afterward and said, that’s the greatest horse I’ve ever seen in my life. That’s quite a compliment to (Flightline).”
Hronis, asked if he had any doubts whether his monster colt could go two turns, said he was confident heading in because of Sadler.
“When we originally finished the Met Mile, to jump up to a mile and a quarter, John said he preferred to train him up rather than race him up to this distance, and that just gave me all the confidence in the world because I knew he had the best plan,” he said. “Our mantra has always been, in John Sadler we trust, and today you saw all the work his team put in with this horse. To train him to go a mile and a quarter, I’m not sure that’s a very popular thing to do.”
Runner-up Country Grammer, a proven mile-and-a-quarter horse who had victories in the Hollywood Gold Cup and Dubai World Cup under his belt heading in, was seven lengths clear of third-place finisher Royal Ship. He was so far back of the winner, though, that his trainer, Bob Baffert, jokingly said he believed Country Grammer thought he’d won the race.
“He’s a super star,” Baffert said of Flightline. “When you see a horse like that, you gotta salute him. What a performance. Trevor, when he made that call, you could just tell the crowd was loving it. They’re gonna leave here and say they just saw something special.”
Special might be too tame a word for the show Flightline staged Saturday. Let’s try epic, historic or scintillating.
“This is a really special, special race horse. I’m not sure we’re going to see one like him again,” said Hronis, who wants to see Flightline become America’s horse, much like the legendary Seabiscuit back in his heyday. Saturday’s race was a start as fans saluted Flightline when he returned in front of the grandstand.
“I heard the fans and I said after the Malibu at Santa Anita, I want him to become America’s horse because we wanted to share him,” he said. “You don’t see horses like this stay on the track very often, but we’re hoping everyone can fall in love with him.”
It was left for Prat to sum it up best.
“Obviously, this is the best horse I ever rode,” he said.
There are many who left Del Mar on Saturday who would agree.

ALBION, Mich. — 2021 MIAA champions, the Albion Brits started their new season off with a big win. 52-0 was the final score against Carthage College on Saturday.
In the second quarter, Ian Goins took the hand off, broke a tackle and crossed the goal line giving the Brits a 35 point lead at halftime.
Colby Taylor-Browning also had a few big plays including a touchdown late in the third quarter. That score and many others helped earned Albion the win over the Firebirds to start the season.

').\nJoe Ouellette and Dave Carstairs in Rumply's Rent in Cranbourne Village Players 1 act community presentation at the Village School Hall of 'How to Keep An Old Flappet Lady Up, Tick...'. Dave is delightd to announce they were run wn winners! Great stuff CAPS....!!! We now join 'Grace and Frank in The Rivers' runaway train through Loch Mafh ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara had his first opportunity to share thoughts publicly on sharing starting quarterback duties with J.J. McCarthy early this season.
The Big Ten championship winning quarterback and team captain didn’t hold back, making it clear he was surprised coach Jim Harbaugh chose to split who takes the first snap over the first two weeks.
McNamara had a lackluster performance that was made moot by a dominant defense as the eighth-ranked Wolverines routed Colorado State 51-7 Saturday.
The fourth-year player started the opener and is scheduled to sit at the beginning of the Hawaii game next week when McCarthy gets a shot to take the first snap.
“I would definitely say it’s pretty unusual,” said McNamara, sounding surly. “It was kind of a thing that I wasn’t expecting. By the end of camp, I thought I had my best camp and put myself in a good position.”
When it was relayed to Harbaugh that McNamara was not happy, he didn’t seem to be concerned.
“I don’t think I have to manage anything,” Harbaugh said. “I just need to let them go out there and compete and do what they do.”
McNamara began 1 of 5 and finished 9 of 18 for 136 yards, a total boosted by a short pass he threw that Roman Wilson turned into a 61-yard touchdown early in the first quarter. With McNamara under center, the Wolverines stalled at the Rams 13, 8 and 16 and settled for field goals in the first half that ended with them ahead 23-0.
“I thought he had a really good game,” Harbaugh said.
McCarthy made the most of his limited opportunity to play — running for a 20-yard score and going 4 of 4 for 30 yards through the air — and his coach was quick to praise his play.
“He was electric when he got in,” Harbaugh said. “There’s no question about that. He also went through his reads very well. He was super cool, calm and collected.”
Michigan’s defense, which had seven sacks and an interception, contributed to the flurry of scores with DJ Turner’s 45-yard touchdown off a fumble recovery early in the third.
“It’s a little bit of too much, too soon for us to be able to face a team of this quality this early,” coach Jay Norvell said after his Colorado State debut.
The Rams avoided getting shutout midway through the fourth quarter when Clay Millen lofted a 34-yard pass that Tory Horton caught in the end zone to make it 44-7.
Millen, a redshirt freshman, was 16 of 20 for 137 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
“Clay took care of the ball offensively, for the most part,” Norvell said. “He had one bad read. For a guy playing his first game I thought he did a lot of good things.”
THE TAKEAWAY
Colorado State: Norvell, a former Nevada coach, has a lot of work to do with his Mountain West Conference team.
“Overall, I’m not discouraged about our guys at all,” he said. “This is a good football team. They’re pretty different than everybody on our schedule.”
Norvell’s No. 1 task may be to improve how his team protects Millen, who was often pressured when he wasn’t sacked.
Michigan: Harbaugh chose a unique way to handle his quarterbacks, giving both a chance to start over the first two weeks. McCarthy seems set up to keep the job if he flourishes against Hawaii.
“I’ve known McNamara a long time,” Norvell said. “He’s from Reno (Nevada). No. 9 (McCarthy) is athletic. He goes in there and runs the zone read and keeps the drive alive. He’s different. I’ll let Jimmy worry about that.”
POLL IMPLICATIONS
The Wolverines may stay where they are in the AP Top 25 after doing what was expected in a game they were favored to win by four-plus touchdowns.

HOLLAND, Mich. — Hope football started their 2022 season off at home on Saturday. The Dutch led in the first quarter but struggled to get the offense going throughout the middle of the game. That changed late in the third.
With three minutes left in the third, Hope kicked off a scoring streak when Dan Romano punched it in from the one yard line. They scored twice in the fourth quarter, including the go-ahead score by Kenyea Houston with just 36 seconds left.
The Dutch earn the 38-34 win against the Spartans and start the year 1-0.
"I thought we were always in it. I mean, you can never count our offense out. They're way too explosive. One of the best offenses in all of D3. You can never count them out. Never lose faith. Just keep on grinding," said senior Adam Vander Kooy.
"We had guys make plays. Just guys made some plays. We didn't make as many in the first half but they made plays when it mattered and I'm just so proud of our guys. We just beat a top 25 team in the country," said Head Coach Peter Stuursma.
Hope will travel to Cincinnati next week to take on Mt. St. Joseph College next Saturday. | https://www.fox17online.com/sports/hope-earns-come-from-behind-win-against-aurora-to-start-2022 | 2022-09-04T04:29:05Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/sports/hope-earns-come-from-behind-win-against-aurora-to-start-2022 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

How the match was won: Collins broke Cornet in the fifth game of the opening set and was off to the races. With relentless baseline pressure, Collins quickly amassed 20 winners through the first eight games. Cornet played a tidy match, minimizing her errors and putting in a physical effort at the baseline, but the French veteran struggled to find any space to keep Collins at bay. Her only hope was to bait Collins into errors. But on this night, the American did not miss.

The second rolled along with both women taking care of her serve. Only one break separated the two in the opening set, but neither woman was able to generate a single break point in the second set.
"I think if we look at Alize's record she battles in every single match. When she goes down she doesn't go down easy. I knew I would have to follow the ball in to the net, be patient, and win points two, three, four times."
In the tiebreak, neither player was able to break away. Collins saw her first match point at 6-5 saved with a strong first serve from Cornet, while Cornet could only watch as Collins erased a set point with a clean backhand winner to level at 7-7.
Collins saved a second set point with her 50th winner of the night. Collins' gutsy saves would be rewarded. On her second match point, Collins closed out the victory after 1 hour and 52 minutes.

Stat of the match: Collins went unbroken in the match, facing down just one break point, while firing 52 winners to 29 unforced errors. Cornet hit 17 winners and just 9 unforced errors in the match.
Up next: Collins faces a formidable foe in the next round. Sabalenka has won all three prior meetings, with two of those wins coming at the US Open, in the first round in 2018 and the third round just last year. Sabalenka has lost just one set to Collins and comes into the match off a 6-0, 6-2 win over Clara Burel.
"We played a battle here a couple years ago," Collins said. It was three sets. She's a very powerful player. She really exposes people's weaknesses. But I think with how I'm playing, hopefully I can just have that laser focus and use my strengths, yeah, just keep going for it."

A man who allegedly gunned down the mother of at least one of his children in an execution-style ambush on a Gramercy Park sidewalk was accused of sex trafficking in 2018, law enforcement sources said.
Clarkson Wilson, arrested in the shooting of 25-year-old exotic dancer Imani Armstrong, was arrested in 2018 after he allegedly slashed a 29-year-old woman in the face after she refused to work for him, sources told The Post Saturday.
“Clarkson is absolutely a pimp,” said one source familiar with Wilson’s 2018 indictment by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Human Trafficking Unit.
“She didn’t want to be trafficked by him, that’s why he stabbed her,” the source said. “He stabbed her outside an apartment building and left her to bleed out.”
Wilson, 44, allegedly approached the victim on Third Avenue before the slashing –and flew into a rage when she told him she didn’t want to be pimped out, sources said.
“See, this would not have happened if you came and worked for me,” he allegedly said, before he stabbed and slashed her, sources said.
His victim received over 150 stitches, according to sources.
Wilson, who lived at the Bellevue Men’s Shelter at the time of the incident, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to cause serious injuries, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, disorderly conduct and harassment in May 2018.
At the time of his arrest, Wilson attempted to use his brother’s ID, sources said.
Prosecutors from the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Sex Crimes Unit would later discover online ads linked to Wilson, according to the sources.
Wilson was indicted for attempted murder a month later, according to sources familiar with the proceedings at the time.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Danny Chun, who would have to sign off on the indictment, threw out the attempted murder charge for lack of compelling evidence that proved intent, sources said.
A second source told The Post, “Danny Chun had nothing to do with the case being dismissed. It just fell apart.”
“This happens with trafficking cases,” the source went on, adding that trafficking cases “are particularly complicated” and difficult to move forward.
“This wasn’t light on justice,” the source said.
Wilson’s charges were ultimately knocked down to lesser charges — it’s unclear what the disposition of Wilson’s case was, but sources familiar with his indictment said it was dropped.
He is now charged with murder in the Thursday slaying of Armstrong, with whom he fathered at least one of the young mother’s three children.
Police say he staked out and snuck up on Armstrong, then shot her in the head around 5 a.m. on East 14th Street and Irving Place. She was walking home after finishing her overnight shift at IHOP, where she worked as a waitress.
Wilson, who has more than 20 prior arrests on his rap sheet, was also charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, the sources said.
The accused killer has at least four prior complaints against him for alleged domestic violence stretching back to 2014, although it’s not clear if any were made by Armstrong, according to sources. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/nyc-man-clarkson-wilson-accused-of-killing-brooklyn-mother-is-a-pimp-sources/ | 2022-09-04T04:54:50Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/03/nyc-man-clarkson-wilson-accused-of-killing-brooklyn-mother-is-a-pimp-sources/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Arkansas trolls Skyline Chili after beating Cincinnati and we're all here for it
Skyline Chili is sweet, but the Arkansas Razorbacks weren't after beating Cincinnati 31-24 on Saturday in a top-25 matchup to open the 2022 college football season.
"Can't spell Skyline without the L," Arkansas wrote on Twitter from its general athletics account, @ArkRazorbacks.
Welcome back, college football.
The city of Cincinnati, of course, is known for Skyline Chili, which is this type of sweet-cinnamon-chili spaghetti that has a cult following if you're from southern Ohio or have no taste buds.
Nonetheless, whether you're a fan of spaghetti chili or not, we can all be fans of zingers in September.
No. 23 Arkansas built a 14-0 halftime lead in Fayetteville on Saturday before holding off the No. 22 Bearcats in the second half.
Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson was 18-for-26 passing for 223 yards and three touchdowns in the win. | https://www.swtimes.com/story/sports/2022/09/04/skyline-chili-arkansas-razorbacks-twitter-account-cincininati/65472293007/ | 2022-09-04T05:00:35Z | swtimes.com | control | https://www.swtimes.com/story/sports/2022/09/04/skyline-chili-arkansas-razorbacks-twitter-account-cincininati/65472293007/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Mistakes abound, but Arkansas football survives in win over Cincinnati
FAYETTEVILLE — It was the kind of physical game Arkansas football expected, but the Razorbacks' season opener against Cincinnati on Saturday was a sloppier affair than they hoped. No. 23 Arkansas gritted out a 31-24 win over the No. 22 Bearcats at Razorback Stadium.
Special teams woes plagued both teams, as did injuries. But Arkansas (1-0) capitalized on Cincinnati's mistakes, using an interception, two fumbles and double-digit penalties to secure a Top 25 win.
HIGHLIGHTS:Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Cincinnati Bearcats highlights
QB1:'He's a winner': Arkansas football puts faith in leadership of quarterback KJ Jefferson
Arkansas takes advantage of Cincinnati errors
There was some talk in the lead-up to Week 1 about how Arkansas began last season. In the Razorbacks' first game of 2021, they struggled with penalties, special teams and turnovers. In the 2022 season opener, Arkansas capitalized as Cincinnati (0-1) was plagued by the same troubles.
Arkansas forced three turnovers, two of which yielded touchdowns on the ensuing drives. Cornerback Dwight McGlothern, a transfer from LSU, picked off Cincinnati quarterback Ben Bryant on the Bearcats' opening drive. He returned the interception 51 yards and into Cincinnati territory, and the Razorbacks found the end zone two plays later to take a 7-0 lead.
FAMILY STYLE:The origin of Arkansas football quarterback KJ Jefferson's family's matching T-shirts
In the fourth quarter, defensive lineman Jordan Domineck sacked Bryant for a loss of 12 yards and forced a fumble in the process. He recovered that fumble, giving Arkansas the ball at midfield. Jefferson found tight end Trey Knox for a 35-yard score shortly thereafter.
Penalties, too, gave Cincinnati fits. On one series in particular, flags on the Bearcats saved Arkansas from its own errors.
Game-changing goal-line stand
Arkansas committed a series of grave errors in the third quarter. The secondary got burned on a 35-yard score that made it a one-score game. Clark was called for a hold on the kickoff, making Arkansas start the drive on its own 8-yard line. Jefferson then coughed up a fumble inside the 5 to set up Cincinnati perfectly for a game-tying touchdown.
But that touchdown never came. The Bearcats were whistled for four penalties — a false start, illegal formation and two delay of game calls — backing them up 20 yards in seven plays. Cincinnati settled for a 26-yard field goal, and Arkansas maintained a four-point lead.
It was a crucial moment in a game that had suddenly slipped from Arkansas' control. The Razorbacks managed a field goal on their next drive to bring their lead back to a touchdown.
Secondary struggles
The Razorbacks are in need of good options in the secondary after All-SEC corner Montaric Brown was drafted and starters Joe Foucha (safety) and Greg Brooks Jr. (nickel) transferred to LSU. But Arkansas' DBs took damage on Saturday, with starting nickel Myles Slusher leaving the game in the second quarter with an injury, preseason All-American safety Jalen Catalon missing time with an apparent shoulder injury and his replacement, freshman Jayden Johnson, also leaving the game with the trainers.
Although coach Sam Pittman said cornerback is an ongoing position battle, Arkansas did get some solid play from its starters. Redshirt junior Hudson Clark and McGlothern got the start, and McGlothern made himself known quickly with his interception.
McGlothern and Clark each had a pass breakup, and Clark forced a fumble that went out of bounds in the second quarter.
But the secondary struggled on the whole, with Cincinnati's wide receivers beating the defensive backs on deep ball after deep ball. Fortunately for Arkansas, Bryant wasn't terribly accurate, missing open receivers on a number of those long throws.
Up next
Arkansas will host South Carolina on Sept. 10 (11 a.m. CT, ESPN).

Arkansas football vs. Cincinnati report card: Only A is awarded to coaches
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football earned a Top 25 win in its season opener Saturday, surviving Cincinnati 31-24. The No. 23 Razorbacks weren't without flaw, but they took advantage of the No. 22 Bearcats' errors and forced some, too.
Here's how we graded each phase of Arkansas' win over Cincinnati.
MORE:The origin of Arkansas football quarterback KJ Jefferson's family's matching T-shirts
HIGHLIGHTS:Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Cincinnati Bearcats highlights
Offense: B
Arkansas made some costly errors on offense, including a fumble inside its own 5-yard line and some erratic throws. Arkansas' new receivers showed flashes, including Jadon Haselwood with a 19-yard score, but the questions about the Razorbacks' wideouts are far from answered. The run game on the other hand, led by Raheim Sanders, kept Arkansas afloat enough for the win. The sophomore put on the second 100-yard rushing performance of his young career.
Defense: B+
The Razorbacks' secondary found itself in front of Cincinnati's receivers on multiple occasions, giving up chunk plays through the air. Luckily for Arkansas, penalty problems and accuracy struggles for Bearcats quarterback Ben Bryant helped bail out the defense. On the plus side, Arkansas managed three sacks, an early interception and two forced fumbles.
QB1:'He's a winner': Arkansas football puts faith in leadership of quarterback KJ Jefferson
Special teams: C
Arkansas gave punting duties to freshman Max Fletcher over redshirt senior Reid Bauer. Fletcher, whose older brother punts for Cincinnati, had a lackluster debut. His second punt of the game went just 26 yards, giving the Bearcats the ball at midfield. In the fourth quarter, when the Razorbacks were clinging to a one-score lead, Arkansas allowed Cincinnati a 30-yard return on a 43-yard punt. Arkansas' defense held up enough, however, and Cincinnati had special teams woes of its own. Kicker Ryan Coe missed a 25-yard field goal attempt on the ensuing drive.
Coaching: A
Arkansas wasn't faced with many tough decisions from a coaching standpoint, and the Razorbacks managed to stay cool even as momentum swung wildly. Coordinators Kendal Briles and Barry Odom called solid games, and the Razorbacks now have a much better idea of their strengths and weaknesses with one game behind them.
Overall: B
Arkansas wasn't without flaws in its opener. Jefferson and his receivers showed promise despite mistakes, and the defense held up well when threatened. It wasn't always pretty, but it was a Top 25 win the Razorbacks needed against their tough schedule.

Thiruvananthapuram: Even as every nook and corner of the State celebrates Onam with feasts, festivities and floral carpets, it is heart-wrenching to see about a quarter lakh KSRTC employees and their families struggle to meet their day-to-day expenses.
Their hopes of getting salary dues of two months at least for Onam also seem to be fading away. The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has now decided to disburse 33 per cent of the pending dues utilising Rs 50 crore allotted by the Government and Rs 10 crore in hand. This would come to about 70 per cent of the monthly salary. The pay distribution would begin on Monday.
The Corporation said a coupon worth Rs 5,000 from Civil Supplies Corporation would be given to meet the Onam needs. Besides, arrangements would be made to purchase from ConsumerFed for Rs 5,000, Horticorp for Rs 2,000, and Hanveev and Hantex for Rs 2,500 each. This amount would be deducted from the pending dues while settling the pay later.
However, cutting across party affiliations, said they were not ready to accept coupons in place of their pending salary. Joint Council, an association affiliated with the CPI, said giving food coupons in lieu of salary is equivalent to insulting the employees.
Crisis for Onam advance also
An attempt to give a salary advance of Rs 20,000 each for Onam has been stalled due to objections from the Kerala Transport Development Finance Corporation (KTDFC).
The State Bank of India had agreed to give Rs 75 crore for paying Onam advance to the KSRTC employees. As part of the process, all banks and financial institutions which have lent money to the KSRTC were told to raise objections if they had any. Only the Government-owned KTDFC objected. Now, the Onam advance can only be paid if the KTDFC gives a nod.
All hopes pinned on Monday’s meeting
A favourable decision is expected to emerge during the meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday. If the single duty system is approved, Rs 250 crore rescue package could be allotted to the KSRTC. Although the discussion on the same had happened three times earlier, no decision has been made yet.
Employees to call a lightning strike if discussion fails
Meanwhile, KSRTC employees have called for a lightning strike from midnight on Monday at Kottayam if the discussion with the Chief Minister fails.
A special WhatsApp group has been formed to coordinate the protest and it has been decided to form a joint agitation committee to take the stir further.
The employees would hold a hunger strike in front of the depot along with their families. Even bedridden parents would be brought to the protest venue. Employees said they would continue the agitation until there is a favourable decision.
A protest feast, where soil would be served, has also be arranged on Thiruvonam day, the employees said.
During the meeting, the employees decided to demand the settling of all their salary dues. If the demand is not accepted by the Government, a flash strike would be held. Some staff suggested that employees from other districts too would follow suit.
As per law, trade unions cannot hold a protest without giving a 15-day prior notice. In this situation, the employees have decided to strike in their personal capacities and not as part of any union.
A protest by a group of employees, who had reached the depot along with their families recently, had gained attention.
The employees said that if the Government cannot pay their dues even for Onam, they are not ready to do anymore ‘free’ work. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/04/ksrtc-salary-row-onam.html | 2022-09-04T05:13:54Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/04/ksrtc-salary-row-onam.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The chief financial officer of troubled Bed Bath & Beyond has been identified as the man who jumped to his death from the iconic new Tribeca skyscraper known as the “Jenga Building,” The Post has learned.
Gustavo Arnal, 52, who was also an executive vice president for the struggling home goods retailer, plunged from the 18th floor of 56 Leonard Street on Friday, police sources said.
The 60-story building is best known for its purposely misaligned apartments stacked atop each other, resembling the popular game “Jenga.”
Messages left with Bed Bath & Bed and Arnal’s family Saturday were not immediately returned.
On Aug. 16, Arnal sold 42,513 shares in company stock for a little over a $1 million, according to MarketBeat.com.
Arnal joined Bed Bath & Beyond in 2020. He previously worked as chief financial officer for cosmetics giant Avon based out of London and had a 20-year career working overseas leading Procter & Gamble.
In 2021, he made more than $2.9 million via Bed Bath & Beyond, including $775,000 in salary and the rest in stock awards, according to InsiderTrades.com.
Bed Bath & Beyond has recently been facing turbulence.
Shares in the Union, New Jersey-based business lost nearly a quarter of their value Wednesday, after the company announced a restructuring that includes store closures, layoffs and a possible stock offering.
The company said it has obtained more than $500 million in new financing and was reducing 20% of its workforce. It plans to close about 150 namesake stores but will keep its buybuy BABY chain.
In mid-August, shareholder activist Ryan Cohen, the billionaire co-founder of online pet-products retailer Chewy Inc., sold his shares in Bed Bath & Beyond after taking on a 10% stake just months before and pledging to make big changes.
The “Jenga Building” features 19-foot ceilings, double-height windows, white oak and stone floors, a gas fireplace, a chef’s kitchen and three terraces totaling 1,252 square feet with panoramic water and city skyline views.
It is also a celebrity-packed home to the mega-wealthy, including singer Frank Ocean.
