- Says Iran nuclear talks are diverging not converging
Separately, a WSJ reporter is saying that one of the main problems is the IAEA probe into Iran nuclear irregularities. Previously they had been seeking a close to it explicitly, now they're seeking for an intended day for it to be closed before implementation.
If everyone wants this deal, I can't understand why they don't just lean on the IAEA to end the deal? I mean, the point is to halt nuclear proliferation, right? Would you rather have some kind of probe document or Iran halting activity?
Ultimately, I still think this gets done if that's what the US wants. | https://www.forexlive.com/news/eus-borrell-says-hes-less-confident-today-on-an-iran-nuclear-deal-closing-20220905/ | 2022-09-05T14:33:47Z | forexlive.com | control | https://www.forexlive.com/news/eus-borrell-says-hes-less-confident-today-on-an-iran-nuclear-deal-closing-20220905/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
There was a report previously saying that Russia didn't want to cut production because it could signal a lack of tightness in the market. That always sounded like a bit of a stretch.

PARIS, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dizal reported the promising safety and pharmacokinetic data from the global Phase I study of DZD1516 in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer (HER2+ MBC) who relapsed from multiple prior treatments at the 2022 European Society for Medical Oncology Annual Meeting.
Nearly 60% of patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer develop brain metastasis and the prognosis is extremely poor. DZD1516 is an oral, full blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrant selective HER2 inhibitor for the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
The Phase I study is enrolling HER2+ MBC patients who relapsed from or were intolerant to the standard of care (SoC). The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of DZD1516 and to define maximum tolerated dose (MTD). As of February 20, 2022, DZD1516 was explored in 22 HER2+ MBC patients from the USA and China, among whom nearly 70% had CNS metastases at baseline. Key findings are as follows:
- DZD1516 was well tolerated at doses ≤ 250 mg, and in consistent with its high selectivity, no wild-type EGFR-related AEs have been reported. Thus, 250 mg was defined as MTD.
- In patients, mean Kpuu,CSF was 2.1 for DZD1516 across the dose range, indicating full penetration of DZD1516 through human BBB.
- 18 patients had completed ≥ 1 post treatment RECIST assessment. With a median of 7 lines of prior systemic treatment (86% treated with HER2 TKI), the best antitumor efficacy in intracranial, extracranial and overall lesions was stable disease.
"Patients with HER2 positive breast cancer and brain metastasis have poor outcomes due to the limited therapies," said Dr. Xiaolin Zhang, CEO of Dizal, "Based on these promising findings, we will further explore the potential of DZD1516 as a new treatment option for this underserved patient population."
About 1516
DZD1516 is designed as an oral, potent, reversible, highly selective, and full blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrant HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), with more than 300-fold selectivity for HER2 compared to wild-type EGFR. It is well tolerated at doses ≤ 250 mg, twice daily. And in consistent with its high selectivity, no wild-type EGFR-related AEs have been reported. In patients, mean Kpuu,CSF is 2.1 for DZD1516 across the dose range, indicating full penetration of DZD1516 through human BBB.

BEIJING, PARIS and STELLENBOSCH, South Africa, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 2022 is unusual in many aspects, as expressed by Todd Stern, the former special envoy for climate change of the United States, in a recent interview. From the extreme droughts resulting in famine in the Horn of Africa to the heat waves across Europe and the flooding in Asia, 2022 shows the world what this 'code red' of climate change is like.
It is crucial to prepare today's youth to lead global climate governance in the future, as well as to engage the society as a whole in this cause, especially with a perspective focusing on the synergy between climate change and other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), if we are to succeed in building a sustainable net-zero future for all.
The Global Alliance of Universities on Climate (GAUC) was established in 2019 to provide leadership of global higher education efforts to address climate change. Today it consists of 15 of the world's leading universities from nine countries and across six continents. By launching the 'Climate x' Campaign, GAUC aims to offer a systematic solution to the progress of global climate governance and a concrete contribution to the success of COP27 by preparing the youth, promoting a synergetic approach, and mobilizing the multi-stakeholders.
"This is a time of enormous challenges. Our health and well-being, peace and prosperity, and nature itself are under threat. The most pressing problems confronting nations are ultimately global in nature, and they demand global solutions. The focus of the 'Climate x' campaign is an excellent example of this," said Amina J. Mohammed, the UN Deputy Secretary-General, in her address during the launch of the campaign.
The campaign, which pools the collective strength of GAUC's 15 member universities, features a three-level structure: a national program of 'Climate x' Leadership Training Pilot (the Pilot) co-initiated by Sciences Po in Paris and Tsinghua University in Beijing; a regional event of the African Regional Forum on Climate Change organized by Stellenbosch University, GAUC's only member university in Africa; and three events at the international level, namely the Global Youth Climate Week, the GAUC Climate x Summit, and the GAUC COP27 high-level event.
The youth plays a vital role
Climate change is a challenge that will cast long-lasting impact over our descendants in the future, which makes youth the backbone of the net-zero future.
Ahead of the campaign's official launch, the Pilot program enrolled and cultivated over 150 students from GAUC member universities, forming the first cohort of GAUC Global Youth Ambassadors. Those students, divided into 21 interdisciplinary and cross-culture teams, have developed innovative solutions, ranging from digital games and mobile applications to panel discussions and community engagement, which will be featured during the campaign.
Synergetic approach is essential
Climate change is closely intertwined with all the SDGs and holds transforming power over broader social and economic sectors, making a synergetic approach that integrates the realization of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda essential in building a sustainable net-zero future. Considering the trending global topics, GAUC distinguished four areas to focus the synergy with climate change in 2022, namely Sustainable & Secure Energy; Finance; Nature, Biodiversity & Food; Adaptation & Resilience.
The campaign's regional event, the African Regional Forum on Climate Change (ARF) will be a hybrid event from 5-9 September 2022, covering topics such as food and water security, disaster risk reduction, sustainable and reliable energy, and the impact of climate change on people and businesses. Leading up to the COP27, ARF aims to provide a platform for engaging multiple institutions and stakeholders in climate change science and its applied social and policy implications in Africa.
Getting the whole of society on board
The success of the cause requires getting on board society as a whole. In 2021, GAUC's Climate x Summit attracted over 1.25 million participants worldwide during the COP26. In 2022, the three-level structure of the Climate x Campaign is going to engage even more multi-stakeholders.
At the launch ceremony, GAUC extended the invitation to global organizations and institutions to co-initiate the Global Youth Climate Week. Scheduled ahead of each COP, it is a mechanism that GAUC proposed to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to coordinate the actions of the youth for more impactful contribution. Ms. Patricia Espinosa, the then Executive Secretariat of UNFCCC appraised that the proposal would provide an impactful contribution to the UNFCCC process by mobilizing and institutionalizing the efforts being made by global youth in the response to climate change.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas investigative reporter was stabbed to death outside his home and police are looking for a suspect, authorities said.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers found journalist Jeff German, 69, dead with stab wounds around 10:30 a.m. Saturday after authorities received a 911 call, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
German died of “multiple sharp force injuries” in a homicide, the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner said Sunday.
It appears German was in an altercation with another person that led to the stabbing, which is believed to be an isolated incident, police said.
“We believe the altercation took place outside of the home,” Capt. Dori Koren, a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department spokesman, said at a news conference. “We do have some leads. We are pursuing a suspect but the suspect is outstanding.”
Glenn Cook, the Review-Journal’s executive editor, said German had not communicated any concerns about his personal safety or any threats made against him to anyone in the newspaper’s leadership.
“The Review-Journal family is devastated to lose Jeff,” Cook said in a statement. “He was the gold standard of the news business. It’s hard to imagine what Las Vegas would be like today without his many years of shining a bright light on dark places.”
German joined the Review-Journal in 2010 after more than two decades at the Las Vegas Sun, where he was a columnist and reporter who covered courts, politics, labor, government and organized crime.
He was known for his stories about government malfeasance and political scandals and coverage of the 2017 mass shooting at a Las Vegas music festival that killed 60 people and wounded more than 400 others.
According to the Review-Journal, German held a master’s degree from Marquette University and was the author of the 2001 true-crime book “Murder in Sin City: The Death of a Las Vegas Casino Boss,” the story of the death of Ted Binion, heir to the Horseshoe Club fortune. | https://www.wpri.com/news/breaking-news/ap-top-news/ap-police-las-vegas-journalist-dies-in-stabbing-outside-home/ | 2022-09-05T14:48:53Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/breaking-news/ap-top-news/ap-police-las-vegas-journalist-dies-in-stabbing-outside-home/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
REGINA, Saskatchewan (AP) — A series of stabbings at an Indigenous community and at another town nearby in Saskatchewan left 10 people dead and 15 wounded, Canadian police said Sunday as they searched across the expansive province for two suspects.
The stabbings took place in multiple locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, police said.
Rhonda Blackmore, the Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP in Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects but others appear to have been attacked at random. She couldn’t provide a motive.
“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today,” Blackmore said, adding there were 13 crime scenes where either deceased or injured people were found.
It is among the deadliest mass killings in Canadian history. The deadliest gun rampage in Canadian history happened in 2020 when a man disguised as a police officer shot people in their homes and set fires across the province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. A man used a van to kill 10 pedestrians in Toronto in 2019. But mass killings are less common in Canada than in the United States.
Blackmore said police began receiving reports before 6 a.m. of stabbings on the First Nation community. More reports of attacks quickly followed and by midday police issued a warning that a vehicle reportedly carrying the two suspects had been spotted in Regina, about 335 kilometers (208 miles) south of the communities where the stabbings occurred.
Police said the last information they had from the public was that the suspects were sighted there around lunchtime. There have been no sightings since.
Regina Police Evan Bray said late Sunday they still believe the suspects are in the city of Regina and urged residents to follow alerts and provide information if they have.
“If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location. DO NOT APPROACH suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch hikers. Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. Do not disclose police locations,” the RCMP said in a message on Twitter.
The suspects were identified as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30. Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers issued a wanted list last May that included Myles, writing that he was “unlawfully at large.”
Doreen Lees, an 89-year grandmother from Weldon, said she and her daughter thought they saw one of the suspects when a car came barreling down her street early in the morning as her daughter was having coffee on her deck. Lees said a man approached them and said he was hurt and needed help.
But Lees said the man took off and ran after her daughter said she would call for help.
“He wouldn’t show his face. He had a big jacket over his face. We asked his name and he kind of mumbled his name twice and we still couldn’t get it,” she said. “He said his face was injured so bad he couldn’t show it.”
She said the man was by himself and “kind of a little wobbly.”
“I followed him a little ways to see if he was going to be OK. My daughter said ‘Don’t follow him, get back here.’”
Weldon residents have identified one of the victims as Wes Petterson. Ruby Works said the 77-year-old widower was like an uncle to her.
“I collapsed and hit the ground. I’ve known him since I was just a little girl,″ she said, describing the moment she heard the news. She said he loved his cats, was proud of his homemade Saskatoon berry jam and frequently helped out his neighbors.
“He didn’t do anything. He didn’t deserve this. He was a good, kind hearted man,″ said Works.
She said the event has shaken a community where the sounds of sirens are rarely heard.
“No one in this town is ever going to sleep again. They’re going to be terrified to open their door,″ she said
Weldon resident Robert Rush also described the victim as a gentle, widowed man in his 70s.
“He wouldn’t hurt a fly,″ he said.
Rush said Petterson’s adult grandson was in the basement at the time and phoned police.
At the Weldon Christian Tabernacle Church the congregation began their regular Sunday service by saying a special prayer to the victims and their families.
At the James Smith Cree Nation, a convenience store that also serves as a gas station became a gathering place for community members, who greeted each other with tears and hugs.
A sign on the door said: “Due to safety concerns with our community we will remain closed until further notice.”
The elected leaders of the three communities that make up the James Smith Cree Nation, including the Chakastaypasin Band and the Peter Chapman Band, declared a local state of emergency on Sunday.
Chakastaypasin Chief Calvin Sanderson said he’d left his phone off on Sunday morning and only learned of the tragic events when community members came to his door to check on him. He is not related to the two suspects.
Everyone’s been affected, he said.
“They were our relatives, friends. Mostly we’re all related here, so it’s pretty hard,″ Sanderson said. “It’s pretty horrific.”
The emergency declaration, which was released by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, said two emergency operations centers have been set up.
“This is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities, and we demand all authorities to take direction from the Chiefs and Councils and their membership to create safer and healthier communities for our people,” said Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations.
The search for suspects was carried out as fans descended on Regina for a sold out annual Labor Day game between the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Regina Police Service said in a news release that with the help of Mounties, it was working on several fronts to locate and arrest the suspects and had “deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game at Mosaic Stadium.″
The alert first issued by Melfort, Saskatchewan RCMP about 7 a.m. was extended hours later to cover Manitoba and Alberta, as the two suspects remained at large.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said multiple patients were being treated at several sites.
“A call for additional staff was issued to respond to the influx of casualties,” authority spokeswoman Anne Linemann said in an email.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement he was “shocked and devastated by the horrific attacks.”
“As Canadians, we mourn with everyone affected by this tragic violence, and with the people of Saskatchewan,” Trudeau said.
Deadly mass stabbings are more rare than mass shootings but have happened around the world. In 2014, 29 people were slashed and stabbed to death at a train station in China’s southwestern city of Kunming. In 2016, a mass stabbing at a facility for the mentally disabled in Sagamihara, Japan, left 19 people dead. A year later, three men killed eight people in a vehicle and stabbing attack at London Bridge.

HELSINKI (AP) — Four passengers aboard a private jet traveling from Spain to Germany were feared dead after the plane crashed into the Baltic Sea off Latvia’s coast on Sunday, according to Swedish and German media reports.
The Cessna Citation 551 jet, which had taken off from the Spanish city of Jerez in the afternoon, disappeared from radar while flying over the Baltic Sea northwest of the Latvian port city of Ventspils, Swedish news agency TT reported.
The aircraft, registered in Austria, was en route to Cologne, Germany. German media said the passengers were a family of three — a man, a woman and their daughter — in addition to the pilot.
German newspaper Bild said that the plane had reported shortly after takeoff that there was a problem with pressurization in the cabin. But authorities lost radio contact with the aircraft soon after, and Spanish and French fighter jets were dispatched to intercept the plane.
But when they reached the plane, they saw nobody sitting in the cockpit, Bild said.
Latvian and Swedish rescue and coast guard vessels were patrolling the crash site and a nearby passenger ferry was alerted to help in the efforts. Debris from the plane and an oil spill have been found at the site, Swedish media reports said. | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/ap-reports-4-feared-dead-in-private-jet-crash-in-baltic-sea/ | 2022-09-05T14:50:06Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/ap-reports-4-feared-dead-in-private-jet-crash-in-baltic-sea/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A play as unlikely as a blocked extra point with no time remaining made Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis’ highlight-filled performance stand up — and spared Seminoles coach Mike Norvell from having to endure an ignominious collapse.
Shyheim Brown’s deflection of Damian Ramos’ kick sent the ball into the crossbar and gave Florida State a 24-23 victory over LSU on Sunday night that spoiled Brian Kelly’s debut as Tigers coach.
“Obviously, there at the end, you know, we had some things that happened that we just can’t have,” said Norvell, who has Florida State off to its first 2-0 start since 2016. “But the one thing that happened on the last play is what we absolutely need.”
LSU’s improbable comeback bid came despite a slew of mistakes, including a muffed punt with 2:15 left.
Florida State’s Treshaun Ward fumbled at the LSU 1 with 1:20 to go, and Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels drove LSU for a touchdown on a 2-yard pass to Jaray Jenkins with no time left.
With LSU fans celebrating an apparent two-touchdown comeback in the final 4:07 — and Florida State fans bracing for what could have gone down as an infamous implosion — Brown’s block sent the Seminoles streaming triumphantly onto the field.
“I just had a big smile on my face and a couple of tears thinking about how much we have been through as a football team,” said Travis, who passed for 260 yards and two touchdowns. “To end the game like that is really special. The game really shouldn’t have been that close from the jump. But a win is a win.”
Travis’ scoring passes came on a 39-yard throw to Ontaria Wilson on a flea flicker and a 27-yard pass that Wilson corralled with one hand. Travis also rushed for 31 yards on a combination of designed runs and scrambles, repeatedly leaving LSU pass rushers grasping air as he spun or darted away from pressure.
“We had him dead to rights on two or three occasions and we didn’t get him on the ground,” Kelly said. “When you don’t get that kid on the ground, he makes some really good impromptu plays.”
Tens of thousands of garnet and gold-clad spectators helped sell out the Superdome and left happy after Florida State — coming off four straight losing seasons — prolonged a promising start to Norvell’s third season.
This game was arguably more meaningful to Norvell than Kelly, who was lured from Notre Dame with a decade-long, $100 million contract designed to give him time to remake LSU football in his image.
Daniels, a transfer from Arizona State, started after a tight competition in camp with Garrett Nussmeier. He completed 26 of 35 passes for 209 yards and two TDS, both to Jenkins. Daniels also rushed for 114 yards.
Another transfer, running back Noah Cain (from Penn State), scored LSU’s first TD from a yard out on fourth down late in the third quarter to make it 17-10.
Travis marched the Seminoles right back to the end zone, highlighted by a 15-yard completion to Johnny Wilson as the elusive QB jumped away from closing defenders. DJ Lundy finished the drive with a 1-yard TD run to make it 24-10 with 9:04 to go.
LSU took its only lead, at 3-0, on its first possession. But that drive stalled shortly after Garrett Dellinger, in his first game at center, snapped the ball over Daniels’ head on second and goal from the FSU 5.
FSU’s lead was 7-3 at halftime after both teams blew red-zone opportunities.
LSU’s line didn’t look ready when the ball was snapped on a field goal attempt, and Jared Varse knifed in to block Ramos’ kick.
The Seminoles couldn’t cash in on Malik Nabers first of two muffed punts, which FSU recovered on the LSU 16. Norvell kept the offense on the field on fourth and 2 from the 8, and Travis’ pass to the far corner of the end zone fell incomplete.
TAKEAWAY
Florida State: Travis’ combination of scrambling and passing ability gave LSU’s defense fits in ways that showed up more in the Seminoles’ 392 net yards than in the final score.
LSU: The offensive line remains a work in progress and at times looked like a liability. Daniels had to scramble often and was the Tigers leading rusher by 91 yards.
INJURIES
LSU: Starting defensive end Maason Smith left the game in the first quarter after his knee appeared to buckle. He’s expected to have an MRI on Monday.
EJECTED
LSU lost a second defensive end when team captain Ali Gaye was ejected for a targeting foul against Travis as the QB released a touchdown pass in the third quarter.
NEXT UP
Florida State: Visits Louisville to open its ACC slate on Sept. 16.
LSU: Hosts Southern on Saturday night.

Costa Luminosa has completed her last voyage as a Costa Cruises ship, and is now one step closer to joining Carnival Cruise Line as Carnival Luminosa. What is next for the soon-to-be hybrid cruise ship?
Costa Luminosa Completes Last Voyage
When she arrived in Trieste, Italy on Sunday, September 4, 2022, Costa Luminosa officially completed her last sailing with Costa Cruises.
That final itinerary was a fitting homage to the ship’s Mediterranean heritage, as a 7-night roundtrip voyage that called on stunning ports throughout the Adriatic Sea, including Dubrovnik and Split, Croatia; Kotor, Montenegro; Kefalonia Island and Corfu Island, Greece; and Brindisi, Italy.
The 92,720-gross-ton vessel was constructed at the Fincantieri Marghera near Venice, Italy, and first entered service in 2009.
Costa Luminosa served guests well for her 13 years with Costa Cruises, regularly offering a variety of Mediterranean sailings to popular destinations, including the Greek Islands, Italy, Norwegian fjords, Persian Gulf, and more.
Now, the ship will be refit as a Carnival Cruise Line vessel to continue to delight as many as 2,826 guests per sailing with a new personality, new features, and new destinations to explore.
Transforming to Carnival Luminosa
The transfer of Costa Luminosa to the Carnival Cruise Line fleet was first announced on June 14, 2022. While it was expected that a Costa Cruises ship would be transferred to Carnival, rumors had long abounded that Costa Magica would be the ship to make that switch.
A hybrid of the Vista- and Spirit-class vessels, Costa Luminosa has features of both those popular designs. Now that her Costa Cruises service is complete, the ship will undergo an extensive dry dock to refit several spaces with key Carnival Cruise Line brands and experiences.
Among the additions to Costa Luminosa will be the Punchliner Comedy Club, RedFrog Rum Bar, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Bonsai Sushi Express, and the adults-only Serenity retreat.
The ship will also feature Carnival’s signature Playlist Productions performances, as well as the exclusive Chef’s Table dining experience.
During dry dock, the ship will also receive new signature red-white-and-blue livery on her hull that was first introduced with the cruise line’s new flagship Mardi Gras in 2021, and has gradually been rolled out to other Carnival ships.
“To truly make Luminosa feel part of the Carnival Cruise Line family, we are adding our beautiful new livery to her hull, of course, and are keeping her throwback funnel design that once adorned some of our most iconic earlier vessels,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, when the refit was announced.
Luminosa is a sister ship to the four other popular Spirit class ships that already sail for Carnival: Carnival Spirit, Carnival Legend, Carnival Pride, and Carnival Miracle. These updates will bring familiar Carnival Cruise Line experiences to the vessel, providing that distinctive Fun Ship experience to all who sail on the renovated ship.
Sailing Aboard Carnival Luminosa
The new ship will debut with an inaugural sailing from Brisbane, Australia, on November 6, 2022, with a 7-night Great Barrier Reef itinerary, visiting Airlie Beach, Cairns, Port Douglas, and Willis Island. Multiple days at sea will give guests the opportunity to explore all the new onboard features.
Throughout her first season Down Under, Carnival Luminosa will offer 3-11 night sailings, calling on popular ports in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and New Zealand.
The ship will then reposition for the summer season in Alaska with a 22-night transpacific itinerary, departing Brisbane on April 13, 2023 and visiting ports in New Caledonia, Fiji, Tahiti, and Hawaii before arriving in Seattle on May 4, 2023.
“We couldn’t be prouder to welcome Carnival Luminosa to our fleet and to start our highly anticipated sailings from Brisbane followed by unique bucket-list itineraries in Alaska,” said Duffy.
In Alaska – one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world – Carnival Luminosa will offer a season of 6-, 7-, and 8-night sailings to top Last Frontier ports such as Juneau, Sitka, Skagway, and Ketchikan.
The ship will then return to Brisbane via an epic 30-night sailing departing Seattle on September 14, 2023, traveling south through Asia with port visits to Kushiro, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Bitung, and more, before beginning her second Australian season. | https://www.cruisehive.com/costa-luminosa-retires-one-step-closer-to-carnival-cruise-ship/80585 | 2022-09-05T14:52:01Z | cruisehive.com | control | https://www.cruisehive.com/costa-luminosa-retires-one-step-closer-to-carnival-cruise-ship/80585 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
SEATTLE (AP) — Before she tried encapsulating one of the more memorable WNBA playoff games, Becky Hammon let out a little chuckle.
“That was a hell of a game. I don’t know if I’ve ever been a part of something like that,” the Las Vegas Aces coach said.
Hammon could speak with a mix of excitement and relief after the Aces pulled out a wild 110-98 overtime in over the Seattle Storm in Game 3 of their WNBA playoff semifinal series on Sunday.
There were big shots and buzzer beaters. Spectacular offensive performances, disputable missed calls and one glaring blown assignment by the home team that added up to the Aces being one win away from advancing to the WNBA Finals and ending Sue Bird’s career.
Jackie Young sent the game to overtime with a buzzer-beating basket, and then Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum hit big shots in the extra session as Las Vegas took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
“We live for these moments. You work hard for these bright light games and just staying in it and understanding that we’ve worked hard to get to where we are,” said Aces’ star A’ja Wilson, who finished with a playoff career-high 34 points.
The end of regulation will rightfully get most of the attention. But Las Vegas was dominant in overtime, outscoring Seattle 18-6.
Gray had been quiet in the fourth quarter but scored eight of her 29 points in overtime including a pair of 3s that silenced Storm fans that had been roaring only a few minutes earlier when it appeared Seattle was on the cusp of winning the pivotal game.
“There was so many back and forth (moments), ‘Oh they’re gonna win it, oh no they’re gonna win it, oh we’re going to overtime.’ … That’s what playoff basketball is all about. It felt good,” Gray said.
From the Seattle perspective, it never should have reached overtime.
Seattle led 92-90 with 0.8 seconds left in regulation after Bird hit a corner 3. It was a storybook moment to be another highlight in Bird’s final season before retiring.
But on the ensuing inbounds play, Young got free from Ezi Magbegor and scored in the lane ahead of the buzzer to send the game to overtime.
“It was really frustrating. We had the game and we gave it to them and that’s really it,” Seattle’s Breanna Stewart said.
Gray added 12 assists and Riquna Williams added a key 14 points off the bench. Plum had 16 points, including an important three-point play to start overtime for the Aces.
Stewart led Seattle with 20 points, while Bird and Jewell Loyd both had 17. Tina Charles added 16 points but missed a pair of free throw with 7.2 seconds remining in regulation that could have given Seattle a three-point lead.
The second half was filled with wild emotional swings and a conclusion to regulation that featured one big play after another. The final 11 seconds featured 10 points scored.
“We were up four with not a lot of time left and that’s really, to me, where we lost the game,” Bird said.
Seattle led 89-85 when Williams hit a 3 with 8.9 seconds left for Las Vegas. Charles missed her two foul shots and Wilson put Las Vegas ahead 90-89 with a spinning drive in the lane with 2.2 seconds left, although it appeared she got away with taking extra steps.
Then it was Seattle’s turn to have an apparent winner on Bird’s 3 off an inbound pass when she came open in the corner in front of the Seattle bench. Bird even left her hand in the air as Seattle’s home building roared.
But all that was muted moments later when Young cut to the basket and scored ahead of the buzzer.
“It’s on me. … What happened end of game all of our execution things that falls on me,” Seattle coach Noelle Quinn said.
The Aces victory also moved Bird one step closer to retirement. Bird has announced this will be her final season, and Las Vegas can send her off into retirement as one of the greatest players in league history with a victory in Game 4.
TIP-INS
Seattle lost a home playoff game with Stewart healthy for the first time. The Storm were 10-0 previously. … In the 14 previous series tied at 1-1, the winner of Game 3 has gone on to win the series eight times. … The Aces have reached the WNBA Finals twice in franchise history, once in 2020 in the WNBA bubble and in 2008 when the team was in San Antonio.
UP NEXT
Game 4 will be Tuesday night with Las Vegas looking to advance to the finals.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Pedro Castillo’s surprise election brought hopes for change in Peru’s unstable and corrupt political system, but the impoverished rural teacher and political neophyte has found himself so engulfed in impeachment votes and corruption allegations that his presidency has become an exercise in political survival.
Chances the leftist leader could accomplish a signature policy such as improving education or health care were slim to begin with, given his lack of support in Congress, and have evaporated as he focuses on staying in office and his family’s freedom.
In just over one year as president, Castillo has survived two congressional votes to oust him, named more than 60 ministers to the 19 agencies that make up his cabinet and confronted six criminal investigations into accusations ranging from influence peddling to plagiarism, one that recently saw a close relative imprisoned. The probes are in their initial stages and no formal charges have been filed.
Castillo says he has not had a “single minute of truce” since taking office and blames it on Peru’s political elite wanting him gone.
“I don’t speak like them, I don’t sit at those opulent tables like them,” he told people gathered at a remote desert community. Later, he told a group of mothers outside a recently restored school that he comes from the lower class and that the accusations will not “break” him.
But Castillo’s tribulations follow a pattern in Peru, which recently had three different presidents in a single week after one was impeached by Congress and protests forced his successor to resign. Almost all former Peruvian presidents who governed since 1985 have been ensnared in corruption allegations, some imprisoned or arrested in their mansions. One died by suicide before police could arrest him. Castillo defeated the daughter of one of those presidents, Alberto Fujimori, during last year’s elections.
The preliminary investigations by prosecutors against Castillo are a first for a sitting president in Peru, as is the preventative detention of his sister-in-law stemming from money laundering allegations.
Peru’s constitution does not specifically say whether a sitting president can be investigated for crimes, and in the last two decades, attorneys general had proposed initiating initial investigations of three acting presidents. One against then-president Martín Vizcarra was opened in October 2020, but the attorney general immediately froze it until the end of the presidential term.
Now, however, there is a new attorney general, Patricia Benavides, who has promised to go “after the investigation of any criminal act, whether it be by the most powerful or any ordinary citizen.”
When he assumed power, Castillo not only faced a fragmented Congress and his own political inexperience, but a distrustful elite upset with controversial campaign promises that included nationalizing key industries.
Castillo was a rural schoolteacher in Peru’s third poorest district before he moved into the presidential palace. His only leadership experience before becoming president was as the head of a teachers’ strike in 2017.
That inexperience makes some doubt whether he is the “ringleader” of corruption scheme, as critics allege.
“That said, you can’t look at Castillo’s record and say, ‘Hey, this guy is honest.’ So, how do we put those together?” said Cynthia McClintock, a political science professor at George Washington University who has studied Peru extensively. “My sense of it is that part of him doesn’t quite understand how careful he should be. Whether he just sort of thought this was the way you do business? It’s unclear at this point.”
Five of the probes against Castillo are linked to what prosecutors describe as a criminal network led by the president, involving influence peddling and other crimes. A sixth investigation accuses him and his wife of plagiarizing their master’s degree theses a decade ago.
One case involves a contract won by a group of businessmen in 2021 to build a bridge. Authorities say an informant claims former Transportation Minister Juan Silva told him late last year that Castillo was “happy” when he received $12,900 after the contract was awarded. Silva is considered a fugitive.
In another case, prosecutors allege that Castillo, his former personal secretary and a former minister of defense requested the promotion of several military or police officers because those moves would net them money. Authorities say they have statements from the ex-head of the Army, José Vizcarra, claiming he was pressured to promote military personnel close to the government.
Authorities also suspect Castillo of obstructing justice for removing an interior minister who had set up a team to capture Silva and one of the president’s nephews, who is also linked to the bridge contract investigation.
“Ideally, the president would resign,” Lady Camones, head of Peru’s Congress, said last month. “He has been asked to do so… It would be the ideal scenario. But let’s hope in any case that the evaluation is made by the president.”
In a separate preliminary investigation, agents of the prosecutor’s office last month entered the presidential palace in Lima to arrest Yenifer Paredes, Castillo’s sister-in-law, whom he raised and considers a daughter. They searched under Castillo’s bed and in the closets of the presidential bedroom, according to a search report obtained by The Associated Press.
Paredes turned herself in a day later. A judge then ruled she can be detained until February 2025 while authorities investigate her alleged involvement in money laundering.
“They don’t mind breaking the family. They don’t mind leaving our children orphaned, a situation has been designed with the purpose of breaking us,” Castillo said.
Paredes’ attorney, José Dionicio, said prosecutors have no evidence against his client.
Historian Charles Walker, director of the Hemispheric Institute on the Americas at the University of California, Davis, said Castillo’s position is a reflection of the ingrained corruption surrounding government and an implacable opposition that feels it is losing power.
“It’s a perfectly wretched storm,” Walker said. “It does seem that, around him, there is a circle of people getting contracts, doing shoddy work — I mean classic, almost traditional corruption.
“But on the other hand, you have this right wing that feels like it’s besieged Vietnam, that the ultra-left has taken over … and there’s this incredible paranoia. I think this almost needs psychological explanation because most of their benefits are still intact; the elite economy is doing quite well.” | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/ap-challenges-mount-against-perus-president-his-family/ | 2022-09-05T15:08:59Z | wwlp.com | control | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/ap-challenges-mount-against-perus-president-his-family/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
VENICE, Italy (AP) — Brendan Fraser is having a moment at the Venice International Film Festival.
The once ubiquitous movie star of “The Mummy” franchise and “George of the Jungle” had, in the last decade, backed away from the spotlight. But Fraser is charting what could be a major comeback starting with his transformative role in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” which had its world premiere Sunday night at the festival.
As the credits rolled in the Sala Grande theater, the audience gave the film a long standing ovation while Fraser, on the balcony alongside his director and co-stars, wiped tears away.
Fraser plays Charlie, a reclusive English teacher with a kind soul who weighs 600 pounds (270 kilograms). While the film already has pundits predicting Oscar nominations, Fraser is trying not to think about whether awards are in his future.
“I’m just trying to stay in today,” Fraser said before the premiere.
Aronofsky has been trying to make “The Whale” for about 10 years. He vividly remembers reading The New York Times review of Samuel D. Hunter’s play, going out to see it, and knowing he had to meet the writer.
One line in particular stuck out to him: “People are incapable of not caring.” It’s why, he said, he had to make the film.
But casting presented a challenge.
“To a lot of Sam Hunter’s pain, it took me 10 years to make this movie and that’s because it took me 10 years to cast,” Aronofsky said. “Casting Charlie was a huge challenge. I considered everyone. Every single movie star on the planet. But none of it really clicked. … It didn’t move me. It didn’t feel right.”
Then, a few years ago, he saw a trailer for “a low-budget Brazilian movie” with Fraser and “a lightbulb went off,” he said.
Fraser, who also has a role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s next film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” said he doesn’t “know an actor in my peer group worth his weight in salt who wouldn’t want to work with Darren.”
Plus: “By far and away I think Charlie is the most heroic man I have ever played,” Fraser added. “His superpower is to see the good in others and bring that out of them.”
Prosthetics were used to transform Fraser into Charlie, who rarely leaves his couch.
“I needed to learn to absolutely move in a new way. I developed muscles I did not know that I had. I even felt a sense of vertigo at the end of the day when all the appliances were removed, as you would feel stepping off of a boat in Venice,” Fraser said. “It gave me an appreciation for those with bodies similar. … I learned that you need to be an incredibly strong person, physically, mentally, to inhabit that body.”
Beyond his physicality, Charlie is also a character with profound empathy and love for everyone around him, including his estranged daughter, Ellie, played by “Stranger Things” star Sadie Sink.
“She’s got a lot of things to say so she comes in hot. But I think what she’s not expecting is someone who cares so much about her,” Sink said. “For someone like Charlie to see that there’s good in someone like Ellie, it’s throwing her for a loop.”
Hunter, who also wrote the screenplay, said his play is personal. He started it 12 years ago when he was teaching a mandatory expository writing course at Rutgers University that no one wanted to take and everyone resented. He also pulled from his own background, setting the play in his hometown of Moscow, Idaho, and weaving in his history of being depressed, self-medicating with food and going to a fundamentalist religious high school as a gay teenager.
“I was afraid to write it,” he said. “I thought the only way I can do it is if I write it from a profoundly place of love and empathy. … I wanted (Charlie) to be a lighthouse in the middle of a dark, dark sea.”
“The Whale” was Aronofsky’s favorite kind of challenge — in that it had so many limitations. He learned long ago on 1998’s “Pi” that boundaries are “your gateway to freedom.” On that film, he only had $20,000 and a dream. In “Mother!” he was limited to a house. And, in “The Whale,” it’s not just a single apartment, it’s also a character who doesn’t move much.
He and cinematographer Matthew Libatique, whose friendship stretches back to their days at the American Film Institute in 1990, spent quite a bit of time talking about “how to turn theater into cinema” and “how to make that engaging and exciting.” In the rough cut, Aronofsky said he was relieved to find that it didn’t feel claustrophobic.
Fraser added that the film is “a piece of cinema. Proper cinema.”
Venice is a regular stop for Aronofsky, who in 2008 won the Golden Lion for “The Wrestler” and also debuted “Black Swan” and “The Fountain” on the Lido. He said the festival is like home.
Aronofsky and his actors could be poised to leave with trophies in hand this year, too. “The Whale” is part of the official competition of the festival, which will be decided on by a Julianne Moore-led jury on Sept. 10. And A24 plans to release it in theaters on Dec. 9. But he’s mostly just glad to be back with his first film since 2017’s “Mother!”
“The last few years, so many of us have lost so much. … Cinema is about human connection. It’s about the chance to slide into someone else’s shoes and have two hours of empathy in someone else’s mind. I think that’s exactly what the world needs. I’m just so happy to be back,” Aronofsky said. “It’s a big moment for me and, I think, for cinema.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Spider-Man: No Way Home” has swung back on top of the box office during a holiday weekend where American theaters aimed to lure moviegoers with discounted $3 tickets.
The first “National Cinema Day” nationwide promotion became the highest-attended day of the year, drawing an estimated 8.1 million moviegoers on Saturday, according to The Cinema Foundation. The one-day event – offered on more than 30,000 screens and held in more than 3,000 theaters, including major chains AMC and Regal Cinemas – collected preliminary box office returns of $24.3 million, according to data firm Comscore.
National Cinema Day was intended to flood theaters with moviegoers during a Labor Day weekend, which is traditionally one of the slowest weekends in the industry. The promotion looked to prompt people to return in the fall, inspired by a sizzle reel of the upcoming films from major studios including Disney, Lionsgate, Sony and A24.
“This event outstripped our biggest expectations,” said Jackie Brenneman, president of the Cinema Foundation, a nonprofit arm of the National Association of Theater Owners, in a statement. “The idea of the day was to thank moviegoers for an amazing summer, and now we have to thank them for an amazing day.”
Some other countries have experimented with a similar day of cheap movie tickets, but Saturday’s promotion was the first of its kind on such a large scale in the U.S. Organizers of the National Cinema Day said the event could become an annual fixture.
“This proves that people love going to the theaters,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore. “Pricing is always a consideration.”
The top three performing movie titles for the day included Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” The Rock and Kevin Hart’s “DC League of Super Pets” and Brad Pitt’s “Bullet Train.” Another top draw was “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which recaptured the No. 1 box office spot for the weekend.
With never-seen footage, the re-release of the Sony and Marvel blockbuster superhero film starring Tom Holland and Zendaya brought in an estimated $6 million. “Top Gun” followed with $5.5 million, “Super Pets” garnered $5.45 million, “Bullet Train” pulled in $5.4 million and last week’s top earner “The Invitation” grossed $4.7 million to round out the top five.
The re-release of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic “Jaws,” on big screens for the first time in 3D, nabbed the final spot among the weekend’s top 10 performers.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” $6 million.
2. “Top Gun: Maverick,” $5.5 million.
3. “DC League of Super Pets,” $5.45 million.
4. “Bullet Train,” $5.4 million.
5. “The Invitation,” $4.7 million.
6. “Beast,” $3.6 million.
7. “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” $3.1 million.
8. “Thor: Love and Thunder,” $2.4 million.
9. “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” $2.4 million.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. ambassador to Russia, John Sullivan, ended his tenure as America’s top diplomat in Moscow on Sunday after nearly three years, spanning the Trump and Biden administrations, and will retire from a lengthy career in government service.
His departure, which comes in the midst of an increasingly serious crisis over Russia’s war in Ukraine as well as disputes over detained Americans in Russia, had been expected this fall as he reached the usual length of time for U.S. ambassadors. But it was sped up due to family medical issue, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the situation.
“Ambassador Sullivan’s departure is planned and part of a normal diplomatic rotation,” the State Department said. “He has served a full tenure as U.S. ambassador to Russia, managing one of the most critical bilateral relationships in the world during unprecedented times.”
The department added: “The U.S. will continue to condemn unequivocally the Kremlin’s aggressive war against Ukraine and remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the war has slowed to a grind with both sides trading combat strikes and small advances in the east and south. Both Russian and Ukraine have seen thousands of troops killed and injured, and Russia’s bombardment of cities has killed countless innocent civilians.
Elizabeth Rood, the deputy chief of mission to Russia, will be the top U.S. diplomat in Moscow until a successor nominated by President Joe Biden replaces Sullivan.
A Boston native and big ice hockey fan who brought his skates and equipment when he left for Russia, Sullivan had returned to Moscow from a summer break just last week and had attended former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev’s memorial service on Saturday.
Sullivan took the helm of the Moscow embassy at a particularly difficult time in U.S.-Russia relations, which have only grown worse. He struggled to hold together a diplomatic mission dramatically reduced in staff as Washington and Moscow carried out an increasingly severe series of tit-for-tat expulsions.
Sullivan spoke frequently of his frustrations about deteriorating conditions for U.S. diplomats in Moscow, especially after Russian restrictions on American and local personnel forced major reductions in staffing.
His four-decade public service career included postings in Republican administrations as deputy secretary of state and senior positions in the departments of Justice, Defense and Commerce.
Sullivan was deputy secretary of state when he was nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed by the Senate with unusually strong bipartisan support to be ambassador to Russia in December 2019. Biden asked him to remain in the post when Biden took office last year.
He had been the lead U.S. official in talks with Russia on counterterrorism and strategic security and testified in his Senate confirmation hearing that Russian efforts to undermine democracies must be combated.
Sullivan told senators that he would be “relentless” in confronting Russia over election interference, hostile moves against neighbors such as Georgia and Ukraine, human rights abuses and violations of arms control agreements.
His time as the State Department’s No. 2 official was not without controversy.
Sullivan was the one who delivered the news to Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, that Trump had lost confidence in her and that she was being recalled early from the post.
Sullivan told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that he was given no other explanation for Yovanovitch’s removal and told her that he did not believe she had done anything to warrant her recall.
Asked why he did not oppose Yovanovitch’s ouster or speak out publicly on her behalf at the time, Sullivan said ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president and can be removed with or without cause. He noted that his uncle, a former U.S. ambassador to Iran, had been recalled early from Tehran by the Carter administration for what the family believed to be unfair political reasons.
“When the president loses confidence in the ambassador, right or wrong, the ambassador goes,” Sullivan said. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/political-news/ap-politics/ap-us-ambassador-to-russia-leaving-post-as-ukraine-war-drags-on/ | 2022-09-05T15:10:26Z | wwlp.com | control | https://www.wwlp.com/news/political-news/ap-politics/ap-us-ambassador-to-russia-leaving-post-as-ukraine-war-drags-on/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Coach Ryan Day had no apologies for No. 2 Ohio State’s low-scoring, “clunky” win over No. 5 Notre Dame.
Saturday night’s underwhelming 21-10 victory was less about the Buckeyes showing off their sleek, high-scoring offense and more about grinding it out in the second half just to survive a difficult season opener.
With No. 1 receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the bench early with an injury, heavily favored Ohio State banged away with their running backs, who averaged nearly five yards per carry. The defense, so maligned last season, made stop after stop in the second half.
The performance wasn’t flashy — much of it was quite the opposite — but Day couldn’t have been prouder.
“That’s was something we spent a lot of time in the off-season saying — we have to be able to win ugly on offense,” Day said.
“If we can continue to win games like that, then that’s how we’ll win games. If you can win in different ways, I think it says a lot about your team as well. And I think this game is going to pay dividends down the road.”
Day pointed to the performance of quarterback C.J. Stroud, a Heisman Trophy favorite who many expected would pick up right where he left off with last year’s astronomical passing numbers.
Stroud was often fleeing the Irish pass rush Saturday but managed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Emeka Egbuka for the Buckeyes’ only first half score. Notre Dame led 10-7 at the half.
But the Ohio State defense, engineered by new coordinator Jim Knowles, forced punts on Notre Dame’s last two possessions in the first half and all four in the second.
“We had a play here or there that we gave up, but what I’m most pleased with is the fact that they never flinched,” Knowles said. “They’ve bought into everything that I’ve been asking them to do.”
Meanwhile, TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams chewed up ground, Stroud made clutch throws to move the chains and, with a blitz descending, threw a 24-yard TD strike to former walk-on Xavier Johnson in the third quarter.
“(Stroud) was the happiest guy out there,” Day said. “And maybe it wasn’t the perfect night, and everyone wants to talk about the Heisman Trophy and all that (but) he just wants to go 1-0, and he did. He made some big-time throws.”
Stroud was 24 for 34 for 223 yards. Modest numbers considering he averaged nearly 370 a game last season.
“The defense was ballin’,” Stroud said. “They won this game, but I do think in the passing game, when we really needed it, we were efficient. We were struggling early on just trying to get a connection, trying to build that rhythm. But towards the end we kept going, we started to start clicking more.”
Egbuka had nine catches for 90 yards.
“It’s not always pretty, but it’s only Week 1,” Egbuka said. “But we’re going to build from here, and we’re going to be something special.”
Ohio State will get its chance to tune up in the next two weeks against Arkansas State, a Sunbelt Conference team that finished 2-10 last year, and then Toledo.
There was no immediate word on Smith-Njigba, who limped off the field after a hard hit early in the game and came back for only a few plays after that. Day would only say that “we hope to get him back this week.”

DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Erik Jones gave the No. 43 car a landmark 200th victory — along with maybe a few regrets to his old employers at Joe Gibbs Racing.
Jones moved in front when JGR star Kyle Busch blew an engine, then outraced another former Gibbs colleague in Denny Hamlin over the final 31 laps to win the Southern 500 on Sunday night. It’s the first time a non-playoff driver won the opener of the 10-race postseason.
Jones won this event in 2019 for the Gibbs organization, where he raced Cup cars from 2017-20. He came out on top once more, this time for Petty GMS Motorsports owned in part by Richard Petty.
“I never lost any belief in myself through any of it,” Jones said. “I knew I could still do it and I knew we needed to grow the program to do it. And we have.”
The celebration continued for the Petty organization, which had not won since Aric Almirola’s Daytona 500 victory in 2014.
“I know my dad,” Kyle Petty said. “What time is it, 11 (p.m.)? He just opened a bottle of red wine.”
The King went to Twitter shortly after Jones took the checkered flag, “Congratulations to @Erik_Jones and the entire #43 team!!!!”
Jones just wanted the Hall of Famer to keep his promise.
“He said I’d get a hat if I win,” Jones said, laughing.
Hamlin, seeded sixth in the playoffs, closed in on Jones’ back bumper on the final lap, but couldn’t make the winning pass.
“Erik just did a really great job,” Hamlin said. “Great day for Erik, a great day for our team.”
The third of Jones’ old JGR teammates, Martin Truex Jr. held a substantial lead over Busch when his No. 19 had power steering problems and went off to the garage.
Jones remained in control and in one piece while many of the favored playoff participants couldn’t do the same.
Along with the blow up of Busch, the 11th playoff seed, No. 9 seed Kevin Harvick saw his car catch fire in a scary seen. Harvick scrambled away from his stopped car to safety.
Top-seeded Chase Elliott was gone during the first stage, sliding into the wall, hitting Chase Briscoe as he tore up his suspension and was out of the race.
Kyle Larson, the defending series champion seeded fourth, was three laps down in the opening stage after engine problems. Larson finished 12th.
Hamlin was second followed by three more playoff chasers in Tyler Reddick, Joey Logano and Christopher Bell. Michael McDowell was sixth, then Brad Keselowski, William Byron, Bubba Wallace
Busch led 155 of 367 laps, the most of anyone. He ended in 30th.
“It’s unfortunate circumstances,” Busch said. “We just had a great car and didn’t come out with anything to show for it. That’s what I hate about it.”
Logano moved into the points lead with William Byron second, Hamlin third and Christopher Bell, Jones’ replacement at JGR, in fourth. The four drivers below the 12-team cutoff line for the second round were Austin Cindric in 13th, followed by Austin Dillon, Chase Briscoe and Harvick in 16h.
CHASING PROBLEMS: Chase Elliott was out of the Southern 500 before it got to halfway. Elliott slid in turn one, then collected playoff participant Chase Briscoe. Elliott’s suspension was damaged. His crew could not fix it in the pits and took it to the garage.
Elliott finished 36th, last in the field. His plans going forward: “Run better than we did today.”
___
FIRE DRILL: The scariest incident came in the final stage when Harvick caught fire on lap 276 as he came down the front stretch. Harvick quickly pulled the car on the grass and jumped out of the car, running to safety.
Moments later during the caution brought out by Harvick, J.J. Yeley’s car headed into the pits on fire. That blaze, too, was extinguished.
Harvick said it’s another safety problem with the Next Gen car NASCAr must fix.
“What a disaster, man,” Harvick said. “No reason … here we are in the pits with a burned up car and we can’t finish the race during the playoff” because of unreliable parts.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Scott McLaughlin led a Team Penske rout at Portland International Raceway by scoring his third victory of the season in a 1-2 finish that moved Will Power one race closer to the IndyCar championship.
McLaughlin led 104 of the 110 laps Sunday to pick up his third victory of the season. He trails only Penske teammate Josef Newgarden (five) in most series wins, but an inconsistent season has the New Zealander clinging to any title chances.
McLaughlin goes to next Sunday’s season finale at Laguna Seca in California ranked fifth in the standings, 41 points behind Power but still mathematically in the hunt.
“We did exactly what we needed to do this weekend which was win and get maximum points,” McLaughlin said. “We need to keep ourselves in it and we’re a long shot, but we’ve got a shot.”
Either way, IndyCar goes to its finale locked in the tightest championship battle in 19 years. The 41 points that separate McLaughlin in fifth to leader Power is the closest since 30 points separated the top five in 2003, when the series was still called the Indy Racing League.
Power had a relatively easy drive but never enough to challenge McLaughlin for the win. In settling for second, he takes a 20 point lead into the finale over both Newgarden and six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon.
“We’re in the best position, we’ve got the best shot, we’ll do the best we can,” Power said.
Dixon finished third but gained no ground in the title fight; Newgarden dropped from fourth on the restart with 22 laps remaining to finish eighth and lose 17 points to Power in the Penske championship battle.
“We’re still in the fight,” said Dixon, who started 16th. “We need to stop getting these most improved of the race awards.”
Newgarden lamented his late tire choice, which left him a sitting duck over the final stint.
“At this point, it just kind of is what it is. I’m going to go try to win that race and go for broke,” Newgarden said. “I don’t know how Laguna is going to play, but we’re going to go to play and see what happens.”
The three Penske entries were the class of the field in Portland, where the team used its final test of the season to prepare for Sunday. The trio was fast in every session and had a clear advantage over Chip Ganassi Racing, which chose to use its final test at Laguna Seca in anticipation of the finale.
Ganassi had Dixon, Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson and reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou in the title hunt, but only Palou had a decent qualifying effort. Dixon and Ericsson failed to advance out of the first qualifying group, and Ericsson rallied only to 11th. The Swede is 39 points behind Power, fourth in the standings.
Although Palou finished 12th and Pato O’Ward was fourth, both were eliminated from title contention.
“Didn’t have enough for the Penske boys. They dominated everyone, not just us,” O’Ward said.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — With the game in the balance, Candace Parker and the Chicago Sky turned up their defense and came away with a gritty win to move within one victory of returning to the WNBA Finals for a second straight year.
Parker had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Kahleah Copper added 15 points and the Sky beat the Connecticut Sun 76-72 Sunday in Game 3 of the WNBA playoff semifinals. The Sky lead the best-of-five series 2-1.
“Down the stretch we were able to play (to our strengths),” said Parker, who tied Tamika Catchings for most double-doubles in the playoffs with 27. “I think the biggest thing is sometimes in years past, we would play great defense and give up the offensive board. Tonight we were able to finish the play.”
Copper’s 3-pointer with 6:14 left gave Chicago a 66-64 lead. Then offense was hard to come by: Neither team scored for nearly 4 minutes until Emma Meesseman hit a jumper in the corner to extend the lead to four with 2:26 left.
Connecticut missed eight shots in a row over that scoreless span until Courtney Williams hit a jumper 40 seconds later.
“It was 66-64 forever,” Connecticut coach Curt Miller said. “I wondered if one team would have an offensive run. It was to the point where if a team could put back to back baskets together, they would have all sorts of momentum. … We just couldn’t put together that offensive run when we needed it.”
Chicago scored the next four points with two free throws by Copper and a layup by Meesseman that made it 72-66 with under a minute left. Connecticut got back within two with 22 seconds left on two free throws by Bonner, but Parker made two free throws 7 seconds later.
Bonner then missed a 3 and Connecticut was done. She finished with 18 points to lead the Sun, who had 17 turnovers.
“We have to play on on what we build on throughout the season,” Chicago coach James Wade said. “Playing together throughout adversity, we did a good job of it. We didn’t haven’t many lulls. we were up for the challenge and came out victorious.”
Connecticut led 23-21 after one quarter when Bonner banked in a 3-pointer from about 30 feet just before the buzzer. Connecticut was 8 for 9 from the foul line in the period.
The teams went back and forth in the second quarter with Chicago going up 40-38 at the half. Parker had 12 points and six rebounds in the opening half. Natisha Hiedeman had 12 points for Connecticut.
Chicago led 56-55 after three periods, as neither team could get more than a seven-point lead heading into the final period.
STAT SHEET STUFFER
Alyssa Thomas had just six points, going 3 for 12 from the field, but added 13 rebounds and seven assists.
TIP-INS
Meesseman had five steals and six assists to go along with 13 points. … According to ESPN, Connecticut missed 25 of its 41 shots from within five feet.
BATTLE SCAR
Parker took a shot to the left eye 3 minutes into the game and briefly left to the locker room. She returned about a minute later but had a noticeable bump over her eye.
“It’s fine, I can see,” Parker said after the game.

'From Kyiv to Carlise' - Liz Truss's victory speech brought awkward moment as she thanked Boris Johnson
As Liz Truss made her victory speech after being announced as the next Prime Minister of the UK, there was one line in particular that stood out for many.
There was an awkward moment after she appeared to heap praise on her ‘friend’ Boris Johnson, saying he was “admired from Kyiv to Carlisle”, where many Conservative Party members in the room seemed initially to be unsure whether to applaud or not.
The statement draws an imaginary line in the north of England and seems a frank admission of Boris Johnson’s lack of popularity in Scotland.
She also made a pledge to “deliver” for the people of the UK.

Here is Lizz Truss’s speech after being named Prime Minister
“It's an honour to be elected as leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party.
"I'd like to thank the 1922 Committee, the party chairman, and the Conservative Party for organising one of the longest job interviews in history.
"Thank you very much. I'd also like to thank my family, my friends, my political colleagues, and all of those who helped on this campaign. I'm incredibly grateful for all of your support.
"I'd like to pay tribute to my fellow candidates, particularly Rishi Sunak. It's been a hard-fought campaign. I think we have shown the depth and breadth of talent in our Conservative Party.
"And I also want to thank our outgoing leader, my friend, Boris Johnson. Boris, you got Brexit done. You crushed Jeremy Corbyn. You rolled out the vaccine, and you stood up to Vladimir Putin. You are admired from Kyiv to Carlisle.
"Friends and colleagues, thank you for putting your faith in me to lead our great Conservative Party, the greatest political party on earth.
"I know that our beliefs resonate with the British people - our beliefs in freedom, in the ability to control your own life, in low taxes, in personal responsibility, and I know that's why people voted for us in such numbers in 2019. And as your party leader, I intend to deliver what we promised those voters right across our great country.
"During this leadership campaign, I campaigned as a conservative and I will govern as a conservative.
"My friends, we need to show that we will deliver over the next two years. I will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. I will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long-term issues we have on energy supply.
"And I will deliver on the National Health Service, we will deliver for all for our country, and I will make sure that we use all the fantastic talents of the Conservative Party, our brilliant Members of Parliament, and peers, our fantastic councillors, our MSs, our MSPs, all of our councillors and activists and members right across our country, because, my friends, I know that we will deliver, we will deliver and we will deliver.
"And we will deliver a great victory for the Conservative Party in 2024, thank you."

As primary school students begin or return to education today (September 5) now that the summer holidays have drawn to a close, parents will be eager to know just how well their local schools have been rated by Ofsted. There are hundreds of primary schools across Kent and while plenty have received glistening reports, others have not been so lucky.
Every year, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) inspects schools for all ages. Each is then graded on a four point scale: grade 1 (outstanding), grade 2 (good), grade 3 (requires improvement), grade 4 (inadequate).
Schools are graded based on their effectiveness of leadership and management, the quality of teaching, personal development and the outcomes for pupils. They are also then given a detailed report of the findings alongside recommendations on how to improve in the future.

Today (Sept 5) Liz Truss has been elected the leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party after beating Rishi Sunak by more than 20 thousand votes. She will officially become the next Prime Minister when she meets the Queen at Balmoral Castle tomorrow (Tuesday, September 6).
The meeting will only happen once the current Prime Minister Boris Johnson also attends Balmoral to inform the Queen of his resignation. Both these meetings are expected to take place around midday.
Following on from that, Ms Truss will jet back to London where she will address the nation outside Downing Street around 4pm. Afterwards, she will head into her new home, Number 10 Downing Street.

She will be greeted by the Cabinet Secretary outside of the iconic black door before being applauded into residence by members of staff. Once inside, she will head straight into the Cabinet Room where she will have security and intelligence briefings, Lord O’Donnell told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
Ms Truss will also be handed nuclear codes and will have to write "letters of last resort" to commanders of submarines that are carrying Trident nuclear missiles. The letters will contain orders of what to do should the Government be wiped out in a nuclear attack.
Tuesday will also see the new Prime Minister appoint MP's into senior cabinet roles. In what will be a historic day, Ms Truss will speak to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky as well as US president Joe Biden and other world leaders.
After her first night in her new residence Ms Truss will then head to the House Of Commons to face Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer in her first Prime Minister's Questions. During her time at the House Of Commons on Wednesday (September 7) the new Cabinet will also meet for the first time.

Twins Victoria and Valeria, from Crowborough, have both secured places at Cambridge University to study Natural Sciences. They attend Mayfield, the leading Catholic independent day and boarding school for girls.
The girls achieved identical results, with an excellent four A*s in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry, alongside a Distinction in AEA Maths.
Valeria said: "I will look back fondly on my time at Mayfield as I dive into lots more exciting physics at Cambridge. Thank you very much to my teachers."
Twin Victoria added, “I will greatly miss my school days, spending every day with my friends, and attending lessons in my favourite subjects."
Mayfield’s Class of 2022
The girls were among 10% of students at Mayfield heading to Cambridge, with other destinations including Edinburgh, Exeter, UCL and Royal Northern College of Music. Mayfield’s Class of 2022 will study a wide range of courses at University, including Architecture, Fashion, Fine Art, Law, Modern Languages, Medicine, Natural Sciences, Psychology, and Veterinary Medicine.
Headmistress Miss Antonia Beary said she was 'immensely proud' of the Upper Sixth girls’ achievements. She added: “At a time of uncertainty, they have shown resilience and positive approach which has been rewarded by an impressive array of results.
"At a time when faith in young people is being questioned, I am confident that our Mayfield leavers of 2022 are well prepared for the next stage in their journey.
“Not only have they confirmed that they can pass examinations, but more importantly, they know that they are part of an inclusive community providing a lifelong network of supportive friends and peers.
"They have the interpersonal skills and talents, not to mention the technical expertise, practised and honed over the lockdown and Covid years, to make the most of the opportunities ahead of them.”
Extensive Sixth Form Curriculum
Mayfield offers an extensive Sixth Form curriculum, spanning the range of traditional academic subjects and a wide selection of creative and performing arts disciplines.
Girls follow an individually tailored programme of study and, reflecting the rounded nature of a Mayfield education, many will balance a combination of arts and sciences. Mayfield has a tradition of cultivating academic excellence. Class sizes are small and inspirational teaching, from highly-qualified and dedicated staff, enables girls to flourish and excel.
Sixth Form students also benefit from a complementary specialist Enrichment Programme, which promotes critical and independent thought, and intellectual enquiry beyond the curriculum, as well as a Life Skills course, which prepares girls for the future through the development of key employment and practical skills.
Personalised higher education and careers advice and guidance is provided by specialist advisors to support girls in making excellent informed choices and a strong alumnae network offers a range of opportunities for mentoring and work experience.

The Tasmanian tiger: the misunderstood marsupial that scientists want to bring back from the dead
The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, was wiped out in the 20th Century. Here's everything you wanted to know about this charismatic carnivore.
Head Down Under, and you’ll find quite different wildlife to what we have here in Europe.
While European mammals belong to the ‘placental’ group – meaning that the offspring is carried in the mother’s uterus, being nourished by the placenta, until a fairly late stage of development – Australasian mammals are mostly marsupials.
Marsupials opt for a completely different reproductive strategy, where a jellybean-like foetus is born at a relatively early stage, then makes its way from the mother’s birth canal to a pouch situated on her abdomen. Here, it will attach to a nipple in the pouch, and feed on milk as it continues to develop.
There are 335 marsupial species currently in existence today, with some 70 per cent of those species native to Australasia. As they have inhabited the region for a long time, they have evolved many different body types to occupy various niches. There are the familiar kangaroos, koalas and Tasmanian devils, but also less well-known bandicoots, quolls and numbats (look them up, they’re SUPER cute).
When humans first arrived in Australasia some 50,000 to 65,000 years ago, there would have been even more intriguing fauna, including giant, carnivorous kangaroos (we wouldn’t fancy meeting one of those) and hippo-sized wombats. These became extinct over the course of a few thousand years, either due to climate change, human impact, or a combination of the two.
But one marsupial species was only wiped out within the last century, and it’s currently capturing the attention of scientists who want to de-extinct it. It is, of course, the thylacine.
What is a thylacine?
The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, is not a tiger. Nor is it a dog, a fox, or a wolf. It is an extinct carnivorous marsupial. They first made an appearance in the fossil record some four million years ago.
The adults had a body length of 100 to 130cm, with a long, stiff tail measuring 50 to 65cm. While earlier studies suggested thylacines weighed up to 30kg, newer research says that they weighed around 16.7kg on average. They had a short, brownish-yellow coat with a distinctive pattern of stripes along the rump.
Their mouths were able to open unusually wide, to an angle of more than 80°. While they were often blamed for killing farmers’ sheep, research suggests their weak jaws couldn’t manage anything larger than a possum.
The shy animals were nocturnal and crepuscular, spending daylight hours hidden away.
Uniquely among Australian marsupials, both male and female thylacines had a pouch. Females could hold a litter of up to four babies in her rear-facing pouch. In the males, the pouch was used to keep the genitalia protected.
With their dog-like appearance, carnivorous diet, and sandy-coloured fur, thylacines may resemble dingoes, but the two species are not related. Thylacines and dingoes are an example of ‘convergent evolution’, whereby two unrelated species evolve similar traits, to best exploit their environment.
Archaeological data suggests dingoes came to Australia between 3,500 and 12,000 years ago, while thylacines have been present on the continent for much longer.
When European settlers first arrived on Australia, they discovered dingoes living alongside Aboriginal Australians, sometimes wild and sometimes in a semi-domesticated state.
Where did the thylacine live?
Fossil evidence and Aboriginal cave art has confirmed that thylacines once occupied mainland Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania.
Thylacines became extinct on the mainland around 3,000 years ago, which coincides with the appearance of dingoes. However, some researchers claim that climate change and an increasing human population at the time may be to blame.
Whatever the cause, thylacines became restricted to Tasmania (which was never populated by dingoes), where they mostly inhabited woodland and grassland habitats.
What did the thylacine eat?
As we now know that thylacines were not as chunky as once thought, researchers have concluded that thylacines probably fed on smaller animals such as possums and birds. They would have been unable to handle large prey.
Thylacines were persecuted by European settlers as it was believed that the animals were hunting their sheep. This threat to sheep was almost certainly exaggerated; it is more likely that feral dogs and poor management of livestock were the reasons that farmers struggled with losses.
Why did the thylacine become extinct?
When European settlers first arrived on Tasmania in 1803, there were thought to be 5,000 thylacines living on the island. By 1830, the thylacines were so hated by the colonisers that a bounty programme was started, whereby farmers would pay people for the animals’ skins.
In 1888, this programme was formalised by the Tasmanian government, with a price of £1 per dead adult thylacine, and 10 shillings per pup. The shy thylacines were slaughtered in their thousands.
It has been calculated that 3,500 thylacines were killed by settlers between the 1830s and the 1920s, with introduced diseases, wild dogs and habitat destruction adding further pressure to the animals.

People from the scientific and zoological communities became concerned about the dwindling population of thylacines, but conservation efforts came too late. While thylacines had been exhibited in zoos around the world from 1850 to 1936, it is thought that they only successfully bred once in captivity.
The last wild thylacine was shot in 1930, and the last captive thylacine, ‘Benjamin’, died in 1936 in Hobart Zoo, Tasmania, just two months after the animals were given protected status.
Over the decades, efforts were made to find more thylacines, to no avail. Thylacines were declared officially extinct in 1986.
Could the thylacine still exist?
Despite the last wild thylacine being shot in 1930, many people refuse to believe this carnivorous marsupial has gone. Just like how people scour the wilds of North America for Bigfoot, some have spent years obsessively searching for evidence of living thylacines.
Indeed, the marsupial is still the subject of recent sightings, both in Tasmania and on the Australian mainland. For example, in February 2021, camera trap footage of a suspected thylacine family was sent to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for identification. The experts poured cold water on the thylacine claims, and said that the video showed a group of pademelons (small, kangaroo-like marsupials).
Then, in 2022, a TikTok user in Melbourne uploaded a video of a suspected thylacine they’d spotted while driving. Commenters on the video suggested that it was (rather less excitingly) a mangy fox.
But maybe they weren't wiped out as early as the 1930s? A pre-print paper (which has not yet been peer-reviewed) was released by Prof Barry Brook of the University of Tasmania in 2021, suggesting that very thing. He, along with his team, compiled a database of 1,237 thylacine sightings from 1910 onwards.
While the majority of these sightings are likely to be mistaken identity or made-up stories, Brook took this into account. He gave a lower score to dodgy-sounding sightings, and allocated a higher score to reports by scientists, rangers, or ex-hunters.
After crunching the numbers, the researchers came to the conclusion that it is more likely that the thylacine went extinct in the 1980s to early 2000s, with a tiny chance it could still persist in southwestern wilderness areas of Tasmania.
An earlier paper led by ecologist Colin Carlson from the University of California, Berkeley, suggested the thylacine’s extinction date was sometime between 1936 and 1943.
“The search for the thylacine, much like similar efforts to rediscover other recently extinct charismatic taxa, is likely to be fruitless, especially given that persistence on Tasmania would have been no guarantee the species could reappear in regions that had been unoccupied for millennia,” the researchers wrote.
Whether it became extinct in the 1930s or later in the century, this iconic symbol of human-caused extinction continues to capture our imagination.

Could we bring the thylacine back?
In 2017, scientists led by Prof Andrew Pask sequenced the genome of a thylacine, by extracting DNA from the soft tissue of a preserved specimen.
Since then, many researchers have been keen to de-extinct the thylacine. They hope that the reintroduction of this carnivorous marsupial to Tasmania would benefit the local ecosystem, as the thylacines could munch their way through invasive ferrets and rabbits.
Pask has now teamed up with Colossal Biosciences, in order to try to resurrect the thylacine. They’ll take thylacine genetic sequences, and then edit it into a cell of a fat-tailed dunnart, the thylacine’s closest relative. Technologies like IVF and cloning could then allow for the production of an embryo. The embryo would either be grown in an artificial womb, or a fat-tailed dunnart mother could act as a surrogate.
Of course, if all goes to plan and thylacines (or ‘thylacines-with-a-smattering-of-fat-tailed-dunnart’) are released into the wild, we will have to put appropriate safeguards in place and rely on humans not acting in a trigger-happy fashion… otherwise, there’s a chance the thylacine could be wiped out – twice.

SEATTLE — President Joe Biden recently announced a three-part plan that will cancel $10,000 of federal student loan debt for low- to middle-income borrowers. Some borrowers could be eligible for up to $20,000 in student loan forgiveness.
Since the program was announced, agencies such as the Better Business Bureau of Washington warn the debt relief program creates a prime opportunity for scammers to take advantage.
BBB Tips to Avoid Loan Forgiveness Scams:
- Get to know the terms of your student loan and the relief program before acting. Always do your research before sharing personal information.
- Never pay money for a free government program. A real government agency will not ask for an advanced processing fee. These are all red flags of a scam.
- Be wary of out-of-the-blue calls, emails or text messages claiming to be from the government. In general, the government will not contact you using these methods unless you grant permission.
- Watch out for phony government agencies or programs. If you speak to someone claiming to be a government representative who is offering you student loan relief, do some research before you agree to anything. Scammers often make up look-alike government websites that sound similar to legitimate agencies or programs.
- Think something seems suspicious? Reach out to the agency directly. If you have any concerns about an alleged government representative's legitimacy, hang up the phone or stop emailing/texting. Then, find the official contact information (look on ED.gov and studentaid.gov or other official sites) and call to verify. Then, report suspicious calls or messages.
- Be careful, even if the information comes from a friend. Even if a close friend or family member you trust sent you the information regarding student loan relief, make sure the claims are real first. During the COVID-19 pandemic, BBB received many reports of hacked social media accounts being used to spread government impostor scams. | https://www.krem.com/article/money/bbb-washington-scam-student-loan-forgiveness/281-68ebb3c9-c62c-4679-92bd-16d314cb1973 | 2022-09-05T15:25:31Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/money/bbb-washington-scam-student-loan-forgiveness/281-68ebb3c9-c62c-4679-92bd-16d314cb1973 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — The Olympia teen who went missing under "suspicious circumstances" earlier this week has been arrested in a murder investigation, according to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department (PCSD).
Gabriel Davies, 16, was arrested Friday night in the investigation of second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. Another teen was also arrested and faces the same charges.
Typically, KING 5 does not name juveniles who are arrested but is confirming this connection because of recent coverage of the community search and in consideration of the gravity of the crime.
Deputies responded to the 21900 block of 190th Street E in Orting on Thursday to check on a 51-year-old man who had not shown up for work in several days, sheriff's department officials said.
"We found he had a gunshot wound but did not find a firearm, so immediately that was suspicious," said Sgt. Darren Moss.
PCSD said evidence found at the scene linked two 16-year-old males to the man's death, but did not specify what that evidence was.
"Our detectives did a lot of work finding evidence at the scene as well as talking to other people and just developing good probable cause to find a connection between the suspects and the victim and ultimately they were able to get all the evidence they needed by Friday afternoon to make these arrests," Sgt. Moss said.
Pierce County prosecutors will determine if charges will be filed. Both teens were booked into Remann Hall Juvenile Detention Center on Friday night.
Sgt. Moss said state law prohibits officers from interviewing juvenile suspects until receiving permission from an attorney, so deputies have not yet heard from the teens what their motives may be.
"Trying to figure out why these kids did this, we don't get to sit them down and talk to them," Sgt. Moss said. "The law makes it so the juveniles have to have the attorney present before we can do the interviews."
Earlier this week, Davies was the center of a search operation after his truck was found abandoned with small amounts of blood near Tenino off Tilley Road. Thurston County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) investigators also found items "strewn" about in his truck and his cell phone "shattered" nearby.
TCSO said witnesses reported seeing Davies walking alone along Tilley Road near Millersylvania State Park.
Davies was reportedly found "safe" Thursday night near Tilley Road and Maytown Road, according to TCSO.

FIFE, Wash. — "Nearly everything we own, everything we've acquired over 40 plus years of our lives is gone," said Jeremy Yama, from his new home in Virginia.
Two U-Haul trucks full of personal items, furniture, family heirlooms and 18 personal firearms with 2 sets of body armor, were stolen during Yama and his wife's move from Washington state in July.
Yama said their entire home was loaded into two U-hauls and then driver and crew left and parked the trucks at the Guesthouse Inn in Fife. Yama said the trucks were not secured and then they were stolen that night on July 27.
At first, Yama and his wife said they felt uncomfortable being told the items would be loaded then unloaded into a bigger trailer.
"My wife was pretty uncomfortable from the start, because they showed up with two U-Hauls, which we had never experienced. She immediately posted on Facebook that she thought we were about to get robbed," Yama said.
Yama said he was assured nothing was out of the ordinary. Their home had limited access for a large moving trailer. He said he was told that was the best way to get their items moved.
The very next day, a Fife Police officer called Yama to say the driver reported the two trucks stolen.
"I started feeling empty for a moment in but that quickly turned to anger, I think naturally," Yama said.
Everything they had was gone.
"All of our belongings, our furniture, our clothes, baby pictures, belongings of our child who's now grown. Everything I've acquired from the military, over 21 years of service, and even some mementos we kept from our son who died at birth," Yama said.
Yama said if he could have one stolen item back, it would be the footprints belonging to his late son.
"I don't think it's a real expectation that a whole lot of stuff is going to be recovered at this at this point. But if there was one thing I would definitely say that."
They have recovered some items after the first truck was found through social media. Yama and his wife did their own investigative work, too.
"Most of the contents were stolen or destroyed. And similarly, the second truck was found by the Puyallup Police department, we went down the middle of the night, with them secured that truck, recovered whatever we could," Yama said.
Now that they have moved to Virginia, they are hoping for a conclusion soon. Yama says one of his firearms was located in a stolen car.
"Given the size of the theft, it was in our entire house, and also due to the 18 personally owned firearms and body armor, 18 firearms is not insignificant, but it feels like it's being treated like any other property crime. We'd also like to contribute to raising awareness on how widespread the crime in the area and around these encampments is getting. We were aware of it, but until we directly it directly affected us and we saw it in person, we didn't really understand the gravity of it," Yama said.
Fife Police tell KING 5 they are actively investigating. They did not give a suspect description. Yama is hopeful someone can help bring their items home.

SPOKANE, Wash — One person died after an officer-involved shooting in Spokane's Hillyard neighborhood Sunday night.
Police said they received a call around 10 p.m. from a person who said a neighbor was in their yard on East Wabash Avenue with an AR-15-style rifle.
Officers responded from multiple directions. When they arrived, police said they asked the suspect to lower their weapon. Officials say he did not comply. SPD says the suspect was shot at least two times.
The suspect was taken to the hospital but died. No officers were injured.
SPD said earlier in the day, police had received a call indicating an anti-harassment order had been issued and needed to be served. Officers responded but the neighbor had left the location before officers arrived.
Police later received the other call at 10 p.m. that the neighbor had returned.
Police said that based on reports of the court order and the armed suspect in the caller's yard, multiple officers responded to the scene.
The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings. The Spokane Independent Investigative Response team (SIIR) has taken over the investigation.
SPD said the officers involved were wearing body cameras at the time of the shooting.
Several streets in the area were still closed on Monday morning including the intersection of E. Wabash Ave, and N.Haven St.
This is an active investigation, KREM 2 News will continue to update you as we learn more.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Aloft Hotel at Cascadia Station is rolling out a new kind of security guard.
The management has enlisted a robot to deal with vandalism that they believe comes from homeless encampments in the area.
General Manager Mike Daley said they originally tried hiring human security but ran into staffing issues.
"We had to try to find a different solution that could work 24 hours a day that was affordable," he said.
That solution is Robby. The R2-D2-adjacent robot stands about 5 foot, 3 inches tall, weighs 350 pounds and runs in random patterns as it patrols.
Daley said that they first deployed Robby back in December to roam the parking lot and it’s made a difference.
"We haven’t seen incidents here in months and I think it’s just due to his presence," said Daley.
Robby is equipped with 360-degree vision and thermal imaging.
"So if he sees that there is a heat source behind a vehicle he’ll go investigate that heat source," said Daley. "He scans license plates as he rolls around constantly."
Anytime it detects someone, the robot immediately alerts the front desk. That person can then see what the robot sees. They can talk to people in the parking lot through Robby, and determine if they need to do more, like call 911.
"He’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," explained Daley. "If I hire humans to do that job, if we can even find people to do the job, it would be five to seven times more money than it costs for the robot."
Hotel guests such as JT Thomas welcome the idea of a security robot.
"I think that would be a plus. Having something like that around definitely makes me feel secure and safe that my car is being watched at all times," Thomas said.
As for Daley, he thinks security robots like Robby would do well patrolling other places.
"Why not have a robot do it? If especially they are not going to say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, act the wrong way," said Daley. "They’re just going to alert that there is an incident, so it’s kind of a different way of protecting people." | https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/portland-hotel-robot-security-guard/283-e5ed298f-5f2b-408c-9b82-575e225ef3c0 | 2022-09-05T15:25:57Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/portland-hotel-robot-security-guard/283-e5ed298f-5f2b-408c-9b82-575e225ef3c0 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
VENICE, Italy — Brendan Fraser is having a moment at the Venice International Film Festival.
The once ubiquitous movie star of “The Mummy” franchise and “George of the Jungle” had, in the last decade, backed away from the spotlight. But Fraser is charting what could be a major comeback starting with his transformative role in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” which had its world premiere Sunday night at the festival.
As the credits rolled in the Sala Grande theater, the audience gave the film a long standing ovation while Fraser, on the balcony alongside his director and co-stars, wiped tears away.
Fraser plays Charlie, a reclusive English teacher with a kind soul who weighs 600 pounds (270 kilograms). While the film already has pundits predicting Oscar nominations, Fraser is trying not to think about whether awards are in his future.
“I’m just trying to stay in today,” Fraser said before the premiere.
Aronofsky has been trying to make “The Whale” for about 10 years. He vividly remembers reading The New York Times review of Samuel D. Hunter’s play, going out to see it, and knowing he had to meet the writer.
One line in particular stuck out to him: “People are incapable of not caring.” It’s why, he said, he had to make the film.
But casting presented a challenge.
“To a lot of Sam Hunter’s pain, it took me 10 years to make this movie and that’s because it took me 10 years to cast,” Aronofsky said. “Casting Charlie was a huge challenge. I considered everyone. Every single movie star on the planet. But none of it really clicked. ... It didn’t move me. It didn’t feel right.”
Then, a few years ago, he saw a trailer for “a low-budget Brazilian movie” with Fraser and “a lightbulb went off,” he said.
Fraser, who also has a role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s next film, “Killers of the Flower Moon," said he doesn’t “know an actor in my peer group worth his weight in salt who wouldn’t want to work with Darren.”
Plus: “By far and away I think Charlie is the most heroic man I have ever played," Fraser added. "His superpower is to see the good in others and bring that out of them.”
Prosthetics were used to transform Fraser into Charlie, who rarely leaves his couch.
“I needed to learn to absolutely move in a new way. I developed muscles I did not know that I had. I even felt a sense of vertigo at the end of the day when all the appliances were removed, as you would feel stepping off of a boat in Venice,” Fraser said. “It gave me an appreciation for those with bodies similar. ... I learned that you need to be an incredibly strong person, physically, mentally, to inhabit that body.”
Beyond his physicality, Charlie is also a character with profound empathy and love for everyone around him, including his estranged daughter, Ellie, played by “Stranger Things” star Sadie Sink.
“She’s got a lot of things to say so she comes in hot. But I think what she’s not expecting is someone who cares so much about her,” Sink said. “For someone like Charlie to see that there’s good in someone like Ellie, it’s throwing her for a loop.”
Hunter, who also wrote the screenplay, said his play is personal. He started it 12 years ago when he was teaching a mandatory expository writing course at Rutgers University that no one wanted to take and everyone resented. He also pulled from his own background, setting the play in his hometown of Moscow, Idaho, and weaving in his history of being depressed, self-medicating with food and going to a fundamentalist religious high school as a gay teenager.
“I was afraid to write it,” he said. “I thought the only way I can do it is if I write it from a profoundly place of love and empathy. ... I wanted (Charlie) to be a lighthouse in the middle of a dark, dark sea.”
“The Whale” was Aronofsky's favorite kind of challenge — in that it had so many limitations. He learned long ago on 1998's “Pi” that boundaries are “your gateway to freedom.” On that film, he only had $20,000 and a dream. In “Mother!” he was limited to a house. And, in “The Whale,” it’s not just a single apartment, it’s also a character who doesn’t move much.
He and cinematographer Matthew Libatique, whose friendship stretches back to their days at the American Film Institute in 1990, spent quite a bit of time talking about “how to turn theater into cinema” and “how to make that engaging and exciting.” In the rough cut, Aronofsky said he was relieved to find that it didn’t feel claustrophobic.
Fraser added that the film is “a piece of cinema. Proper cinema.”
Venice is a regular stop for Aronofsky, who in 2008 won the Golden Lion for “The Wrestler" and also debuted “Black Swan” and “The Fountain” on the Lido. He said the festival is like home.
Aronofsky and his actors could be poised to leave with trophies in hand this year, too. “The Whale” is part of the official competition of the festival, which will be decided on by a Julianne Moore-led jury on Sept. 10. And A24 plans to release it in theaters on Dec. 9. But he's mostly just glad to be back with his first film since 2017's “Mother!”
“The last few years, so many of us have lost so much. ... Cinema is about human connection. It's about the chance to slide into someone else’s shoes and have two hours of empathy in someone else's mind. I think that’s exactly what the world needs. I'm just so happy to be back,” Aronofsky said. “It’s a big moment for me and, I think, for cinema.” | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/brendan-fraser-venice-the-whale/507-b662201f-777d-4f17-b3fb-dceb23a14865 | 2022-09-05T15:26:03Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/brendan-fraser-venice-the-whale/507-b662201f-777d-4f17-b3fb-dceb23a14865 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
LONDON, UK — A Friday concert by the Foo Fighters marked the band's return to live shows for the first time since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins.
In celebration of their late bandmate, Dave Grohl and his band were joined by musical guests such as Sir Paul McCartney, Queen and AC/DC. But the most touching tribute came from Hawkins' 16-year-old son Shane.
The teenager played the drums during a rendition of the band's 1997 hit "My Hero."
Video of the performance from Variety editor Ethan Shanfeld shows the end of a slideshow featuring Shane and his father, played for the audience before the song begins.
Hawkins was born in Texas and moved to Laguna Beach, California as a child. Learning to play drums as a youth, he joined the Foo Fighters in 1997, three years after the band's formation.
In March 2022, he was found dead in his hotel room in Bogota, Columbia, shortly before the band was set to perform. He was 50.
While no cause of death has been announced, the BBC reported that trace amounts of several drugs were found in his body, including opioids, marijuana and anti-depressants.
Investigators didn't say if the mix of drugs was a factor in his death.
Hawkins' death shocked the music world, and the Foo Fighters canceled all upcoming tours.
The band tweeted they were “devastated by the tragic and untimely loss,” of their bandmate.
"His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever," the band wrote.
Friday's sold-out performance was their first in months, held in honor of Hawkins. Proceeds from the concert are going to Music Support and MusiCares, a pair of charities chosen by the Hawkins family.
The show was clearly an emotional one for the band. Grohl stopped mid-song while singing "Times Like These" to fight back tears while singing the lyrics: "it's times like these you learn to love again."
Wembley Stadium holds 90,000 fans, and the concert was streamed on MTV's YouTube channel, opening it to countless viewers around the world.
"All of these amazing people came here tonight for one reason, it was to celebrate the life of Taylor Hawkins," Grohl said during the show.
A second tribute show is planned for Sept. 27 at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, about an hour from Hawkins' seaside hometown. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/foo-fighters-tribute-taylor-hawkins/507-6b668689-64b8-427f-bc28-a068f4e56626 | 2022-09-05T15:26:09Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/foo-fighters-tribute-taylor-hawkins/507-6b668689-64b8-427f-bc28-a068f4e56626 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
LONDON, UK — Britain’s Conservative Party has chosen Foreign Secretary Liz Truss as the party’s new leader, putting her in line to be confirmed as prime minister.
Truss’s selection was announced Monday in London after a leadership election in which only the 180,000 dues-paying members of the Conservative Party were allowed to vote. Truss beat rival Rishi Sunak, the government’s former Treasury chief, by promising to increase defense spending and cut taxes, while refusing to say how she would address the cost-of-living crisis.
Truss received 81,326 votes to Sunak's 60,399.
Queen Elizabeth II is scheduled to formally name Truss as Britain’s prime minister on Tuesday. The ceremony will take place at the queen’s Balmoral estate in Scotland, where the monarch is vacationing, rather than at Buckingham Palace.
The two-month leadership contest left Britain with a power vacuum at a time when consumers, workers and businesses were demanding government action to mitigate the impact of soaring food and energy prices. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has had no authority to make major policy decisions since July 7, when he announced his intention to resign.
With household energy bills set to increase by 80% next month, charities warn that as many as one in three households will face fuel poverty this winter, leaving millions of people to choose between eating and heating their homes. The Bank of England has forecast that inflation will reach a 42-year high of 13.3% in October, threatening to push Britain into a prolonged recession.
“The new prime minister is facing a very, very difficult inheritance,” said Tim Bale, a political analyst and professor at Queen Mary University of London.
Johnson was forced to resign after a series of ethics scandals that peaked in July when dozens of cabinet ministers and lower level officials resigned over his handling of allegations of sexual misconduct by a senior member of his government.
Under Britain’s parliamentary system of government, the center-right Conservative Party was allowed to hold an internal election to select a new party leader and prime minister, without going to the wider electorate. A new general election isn’t required until December 2024. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/new-british-pm/507-9d7c7af7-a610-41cb-97ff-6ef463abdb17 | 2022-09-05T15:26:15Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/new-british-pm/507-9d7c7af7-a610-41cb-97ff-6ef463abdb17 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Oyo govt criminalises land grabbing, says offenders risk 15 years jail term
• as State inaugurates Task Force
The Acting Governor of Oyo State, Barrister Abdulroheem Bayo Lawal, has declared that land grabbing will no longer be tolerated in the state as offenders now face up to 15 years jail term.
The Acting Governor made this known while inaugurating the Task Force Unit of the real properties law of Oyo State at the Executive Council Chambers of the Governor’s Office, Agodi, Ibadan.
He added that those who aid and abet land grabbers will also not go scot-free, declaring that the State is set to stamp out the menace of land grabbing.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde, Mr Taiwo Adisa, quoted the Acting Governor as stating that the administration places high priority on the peace, order and security of lives and properties in the state, adding that it will leave no stone unturned in its determination to sustain peace and security.
Lawal explained that the law would protect the rights of property owners, while putting a stop to the nefarious activities of land merchants, who he said, willfully and violently seize people’s land.
He admonished those bent on encroaching other people’s property, most times by using violence, threats or imaginary connection with the powers that be or the use of force to demand fees from real property owners to desist from such acts, as according to him, the law is here to catch up with them.
He equally urged members of the Task Force to put end to the activities of land grabbers in the state.
He said: “I must start this speech by commending the Governor, His Excellency, Engineer Seyi Makinde, who is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that peace and security of the State is sustained and, indeed, improved upon.
“There is no doubt that this administration places priority on the issue of peace, order and security of the State.
“It is not in doubt, that Oyo State is blessed with very large geographical land mass and because of its strategic location, if properly tapped into, the revenue generation drive of the state will be enhanced.
“Therefore, there is no gainsaying that Land is an important factor, if not the most important factor for economic growth.
“Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, land speculators and some lawless individuals who want to reap from where they did not sow, engage in all sorts of antics to disturb and dispossess landed properties from their rightful owners.
“Some of them make use of force to demand fees from the property owners, inflict bodily injury on them, sell another person’s property and stop construction activities with the use of force, to mention a few.
“It is, therefore, worrisome that land owners are now being disturbed on daily basis by the unchecked activities of land grabbers.
“Hence, the urgent need to frontally tackle that menace by properly checking and discouraging it.
“It is against this background that the Real Properties Protection Law, 2016 was enacted. However, the Law has not taken effect due to the fact that the Task Force Unit, which is the operational unit of the Law, has not been in existence.
“Today, in demonstrating the political will of his Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde’s administration, the operational unit and powerhouse of the Law is going to be inaugurated. “Inaugurating this Task Force Unit further underscores the recognition of this administration that its primary business is economic growth and maintenance of law and order, in consonance with its four cardinal objectives.
“Land grabbing will no longer be tolerated in Oyo State and under the Law, land grabbers can now be jailed for up to 15 years while those who aid and abet them will also not go scot-free.
“In setting up this Taskforce, we took into consideration several public and private stakeholders in land management and security service.
“The Task Force will be headed by a retired judge of the Oyo State High Court, His Lordship, Honourable Justice O.I. Aiki, a jurist of high repute. “Members of both the public and private bar of the Nigerian Bar Association are included, while officials of relevant ministries, departments and agencies as well as the Institute of Estate Surveyors and Valuers are all included.
“I, therefore, entertain no doubt whatsoever that with the inauguration of this Task Force Unit, real property owners in the State will have a new breath of Life.”
In her response, the Chairman of the Task Force, Justice Olajumoke Aiki (retd), who spoke on behalf of the committee, pledged to protect the rights of property owners, prohibit illegal occupation and violent and fraudulent conduct in relation to real properties in Oyo State.
She said: “On behalf of myself and members of the Task Force unit, I express our profound gratitude to His Excellency for not only granting his approval for the inauguration of this Task Force Unit but also believing in us to be the foundational members of the Force.
“I also extend my immense gratitude to the Acting Governor for granting permission for this inauguration to take place today in the midst of numerous competing tasks.
“Myself and other members hereby pledge our utmost best in the discharge of our duties in the take-off and moving forward of the Task Force Unit.”
She, however, noted that the task ahead cannot be achieved without the firm support and assistance of the government of the state and the cooperation of citizens.

WASHINGTON — Nirvana has won a lawsuit brought by Spencer Elden, the naked baby who graced the cover of the band's 1991 album "Nevermind," after a federal judge dismissed it for a final time.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin dismissed the lawsuit once again in an eight-page ruling stating that Elden had waited too long to file the motion, based on a 10-year statute of limitations, according to Rolling Stone.
The lawsuit alleges the iconic cover of four-month old Elden swimming naked was child pornography and child sexual exploitation. It had been dismissed before, but Olguin allowed for Elden to refile the motion earlier this year.
“Because plaintiff had an opportunity to address the deficiencies in his complaint regarding the statute of limitations, the court is persuaded that it would be futile to afford plaintiff a fourth opportunity to file an amended complaint," Olguin said in the ruling.
The lawsuit, first filed in August 2021 in federal court in California, said that Elden, had suffered “lifelong damages” as the band and others profited from the ubiquitous image of him naked underwater appearing to swim after a dollar bill on a fish hook.
“We are pleased that this meritless case has been brought to a speedy final conclusion,” a lawyer for Nirvana told Reuters.
Elden's lawyers said they intend to appeal the ruling, according to Rolling Stone.
“The 'Nevermind' cover was created at time when Spencer was a baby and it is impossible for him to age out of this victimization while his image remains in distribution,” Elden's lawyer told Rolling Stone.
In December, a motion to dismiss, filed by Nirvana’s attorneys, argued that the suit was filed well past the 10-year statute of limitations of one of the laws used as a cause of action, and that another law it cites wasn’t enacted until 2003 and was not retroactive.
The December motion said the lawsuit is “on its face, not serious,” and Elden’s conduct reflects that.
“Elden has spent three decades profiting from his celebrity as the self-anointed ‘Nirvana Baby,‘” the document said.
Elden had taken part in photoshoots over the years, recreating the image. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/nirvana-wins-nevermind-nude-baby-album-lawsuit/507-fd4fec10-0c15-4bdc-aaa9-f2eef00f5bd7 | 2022-09-05T15:26:21Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/nirvana-wins-nevermind-nude-baby-album-lawsuit/507-fd4fec10-0c15-4bdc-aaa9-f2eef00f5bd7 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
FRANKFURT (ODER), Germany — OPEC and allied oil-producing countries, including Russia, cut their supplies to the global economy by 100,000 barrels per day, underlining their unhappiness with crude prices that have sagged because of recession fears.
The decision Monday by energy ministers means the cut for October rolls back the mostly symbolic increase of the same amount in September. The move follows a statement last month from Saudi Arabia’s energy minister that the group could reduce output at any time.
Oil producers such as Saudi Arabia have resisted calls from U.S. President Joe Biden to pump more oil to lower gasoline prices and the burden on consumers.
But worries about slumping future demand have helped send prices down from June peaks of over $120 per barrel, cutting into the windfall for the government budgets of OPEC+ countries but proving a blessing for drivers in the U.S. as pump prices have eased.
The energy minsters said in a statement that the September increase was only for that month, and that the group could meet again at any time to address market developments.
Other factors are lurking that could influence the price of oil. For one, the Group of Seven major democracies plan to impose a price cap on imports of Russian oil and what effect that might have on the market. The price level for the cap has not yet been set.
Meanwhile, a deal between Western countries and Iran to limit Tehran’s nuclear program could ease sanctions and see more than 1 million barrels of Iranian oil return to the market in coming months. However, tensions between the U.S. and Iran appear to have risen in recent days: Iran seized two U.S. naval drones in the Red Sea, and U.S., Kuwaiti and Saudi warplanes flew over the Middle East on Sunday in a show of force.
Oil prices have gyrated in recent months: Recession fears have pushed them down, while worries of a loss of Russian oil because of sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine pushed them up.
Recently, recession fears have taken the upper hand. Economists in Europe are penciling in a recession at the end of this year due to skyrocketing inflation fed by energy costs, while China's severe restrictions aimed at halting the spread of the coronavirus have sapped growth in that major world economy.
Those falling oil prices have been a boon to U.S. drivers, sending gasoline prices down to $3.82 per gallon from record highs of over $5 in June.
That month, fears that U.S. and European sanctions would take Russian oil off the market helped push Brent to over $123. Those concerns are still out there because European sanctions aimed at Russian oil shipments won't take effect until the end of the year. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/oil-supplies-cut-as-prices-fall/507-21dda36a-84df-4927-86e5-9da2bbb4d26e | 2022-09-05T15:26:28Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/oil-supplies-cut-as-prices-fall/507-21dda36a-84df-4927-86e5-9da2bbb4d26e | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
WASHINGTON — St. James Smokehouse-brand smoked salmon has been recalled in 10 states because of potential listeria contamination, the FDA reported Friday.
St. James Smokehouse is based out of Miami, Florida, and is sold within the state. Their recalled products were also shipped to stores in Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Washington State, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The company voluntarily issued a recall for 93 cases of their 4oz packages of Scotch Reserve Scottish Smoked Salmon because the fish had the potential to be contaminated with the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
The potentially contaminated products all have the lot# 123172 and UPC code 060022710356 on their packages.
Any customers who have bought the contaminated salmon should immediately throw them out or return them to the store for a refund.
The Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, commonly referred to as listeria, can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms of Listeriosis (the infection caused by listeria bacteria) include high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. It can also lead to miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
As of Friday, when the recall was issued, no illnesses associated with the smoked salmon had been reported.
Instead, it was found during a routine sampling by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. The sampling found that the products on sale contained listeria bacteria.
St. James Smokehouse has asked any customers with questions about the recall to contact 305-461-0231, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/smoked-salmon-recall/507-081bccde-dc2c-41bb-b64f-d0d18b459ffd | 2022-09-05T15:26:34Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/smoked-salmon-recall/507-081bccde-dc2c-41bb-b64f-d0d18b459ffd | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian firefighters known for rescuing people from buildings hit by shelling in more than six months of war helped a small, furry survivor this weekend — a gray-and-white kitten.
The rescuers, wearing full firefighting gear, battled raging flames and smoke to pull the kitten out from under a metal chair in the rubble of a wooden hotel-restaurant complex hit by a rocket in Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, the country's emergency services said Sunday on Facebook.
Video showed the firefighters petting and cuddling the feline as they carried it to safety. One used water from a firetruck to wipe down the kitten in his arms.
“We found a beauty,” one of the firefighters said as the kitten wiggled around in a colleague's arms. Another said, “Get this kitty some oxygen."
Ukraine's emergency services said the kitten's paw needed medical attention.
“Heroes of our time,” the emergency services proclaimed of the firefighters. "They protect, work, save, treat ... And we wish the cat a speedy recovery.” | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine-firefighter-rescues-kitten/507-fd110d59-36cf-428c-ad46-b4c1ee729db1 | 2022-09-05T15:26:46Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine-firefighter-rescues-kitten/507-fd110d59-36cf-428c-ad46-b4c1ee729db1 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) announced it has repaid the $24.8 million dollar emergency relief loan the company received under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in April 2020.
The government assistance, coupled with proactive initiatives from Allegiant and its employees, allowed the airline to preserve liquidity and strategically position itself to withstand the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19.

"We're so grateful to the federal government and the American people for stepping up and assisting the entire industry when the outlook for the future was so uncertain," said Allegiant's CEO John Redmond. "This loan helped us save jobs at a time when it wasn't clear how the U.S. would emerge from the pandemic. We're thrilled that demand has increased so much in recent months that we were able to fulfill our obligation much earlier than we originally anticipated."

The Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, on Monday, matriculated a total of 6, 377 newly admitted students for various courses in the university.
They are part of 7,800, who had accepted admission offers from over 25, 000 who applied to study in the university under the 2021\2022 academic session.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, gave the statistics at the matriculation ceremony held for the set at the main campus of the university with the principal officers of the institution and some parents in attendance.
She said the remaining 1,423 intakes are expected to join their mates once they are through with their registration even as she cleared 109 among them just before the ceremony.
She said LASU’s vision under her watch to become the best university in West Africa by 2025 is on course and urged the new students to key into the vision and pursue it to equally become the best they can be at graduation.
She said the university would support them with all things required to attain excellence in their studies, extra-curriculum activities, good character and other societal values expected of them as students.
She said they had the opportunity just like their seniors of enjoying a 50 per cent pay cut in school fees if they should maintain a minimum of 4.5 CGPA from a 5.0 obtainable score at the end of each academic session and for the duration of their courses.
She said the school does this to reward excellence and also encourage healthy competition among students.
Prof Olatunji-Bello, while congratulating them on their admission, said the university would provide adequate security and a constant power supply, particularly at night for those who may want to study at that time.
She also told them to make use of security measures put in place in and around the university including the LASU Monitor Safety Apps which she said they should download from the school website and study its usage.
She said, “All we want to achieve as a university is to prepare you very well as future leaders so as to be able to contribute substantially irrespective of your disciplines to the economy of Lagos State, Nigeria and the world by extension.”
The vice-chancellor, however, warned the new students that the university has zero tolerance for all forms of social vices including examination malpractice, fighting, drug abuse, hooliganism, sexual and gender-based violence and indecent dressing, among others.
She said the university is very frowned at all of them and therefore would not spare from punishment any student found culpable of any of the vices.
She said the university wishes for them to graduate on record times and as global citizens.

New PM Truss has chance to ‘reset’ relationship between Ireland and Britain, says Taoiseach
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the appointment of Liz Truss as the UK’s 56th and newest prime minister offers a chance to “reset” the fractured relationship between Britain and Ireland.
Speaking in Oxford at the weekend conference of the British Irish Association Martin said he is “anxious” that a window of opportunity is opening to repair relations.
Mr Martin told Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ):
“We are very anxious that a window of opportunity is opening up, the election of a new British prime minister and new government presents an opportunity to reset the British-Irish relationship and also the European Union and United Kingdom relationship in context of the protocol.
“The spirit within which we are approaching next week and beyond is a constructive one.
“We believe the breadth and depth of the UK-Irish relationship is such that there’s an imperative on us all to work together in a constructive way.
“We are prepared to do that and also in the context of Northern Ireland, in terms of resolutions of issues around the protocol.”
The Taoiseach also said that the outcome of the Northern Ireland elections – in which Sinn Féin topped the poll and the DUP came second – should be honoured.
The DUP has blocked all attempts to form a government based on that result.
The current Northern Ireland Secretary Shailesh Vara, expected to be replaced, has suggested that if the impasse continues he will call new elections, something believed to be favoured by the DUP.
“The people of Northern Ireland gave a mandate to their politicians,” said Mr Martin.
“We are going through unprecedented energy price increases on the island of Ireland.
“There’s responsibility and obligations on the politicians in Northern Ireland to respond to that with the resources they have at their disposal.
“The most effective way of doing that is then restore the Executive and the Assembly, that’s what we want to see first.
“We should avoid the need for any further elections and should take the next number of weeks, take that opportunity through the EU-UK dialogue, to resolve issues around the operation of the protocol.”
Mr Martin told the conference in Oxford that the British government’s plans to scrap the deal it agreed with the EU, the NI Protocol, risks “further instability” in Northern Ireland and damage to key sectors of its economy.
He said Britain’ unilateral action on the protocol and on Troubles legacy legislation is at “odds with the spirit of partnership” of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
The Taoiseach also said that Brexit has “fundamentally changed” the relationship between the UK and the EU.
“It is critical therefore that we find a way through this undeniably difficult phase to build better relationships.
“Like all long-term relationships, there are times when we don’t understand each other as well, perhaps misunderstand each other’s actions and the resulting consequences, but ultimately, we both want and need to make it work.
“Regrettably, unilateral action on the protocol and on legacy is at odds with the spirit of partnership that is needed to underpin the Good Friday Agreement.
“It is testing and fraying that partnership between us. It risks further instability in Northern Ireland and damage to key sectors of the economy.”
Mr Martin said he wants to work with Britain’s new prime minister in an “open and constructive way”.
“I sincerely believe that the EU would respond positively to a serious and genuine signal from the new British prime minister that their priority is to reach an agreed outcome on the issues around implementation of the protocol,” he added.
“Brexit marked a fundamental change in the EU-UK relationship, and the type of Brexit chosen by the British Government has meant that the trading relationships on these islands have been fundamentally altered.
“That made finding a new set of arrangements – one that would not, and could not be, a return to the trading arrangements that operated before Brexit – absolutely imperative.
“I am deeply concerned about the British Government’s legislation which would unilaterally undo core elements of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
“Concerned by what it means for the partnership approach we want to see between the EU and the UK; concerned by the wider message it sends about a rules-based international order; and, most of all, concerned because it is neither in the interests of the people of Northern Ireland nor what they want.”
The failure to form a devolved government in Northern Ireland can only be to the “detriment” of the public there.
“What we are faced with is the decision of one political party not to participate in the Northern Ireland Executive, and by so doing, damaging the functioning of the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement. It is unacceptable.
“I have been completely consistent on this issue and expressed my views in the same terms when Sinn Féin withdrew from the Executive in 2017.
“When the Executive broke down on previous occasions the two Governments and the political parties worked together to resolve issues, make progress and restore the Institutions.
“That should be our approach now also, with issues regarding the Protocol addressed in parallel through EU-UK talks.” | https://www.theirishworld.com/new-pm-is-a-chance-to-reset-relationship-between-ireland-and-britain-says-taoiseach/ | 2022-09-05T15:47:55Z | theirishworld.com | control | https://www.theirishworld.com/new-pm-is-a-chance-to-reset-relationship-between-ireland-and-britain-says-taoiseach/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Thiruvananthapuram: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rain across Kerala till 10.30 pm.
Many regions are expected to see thunderstorms and wind up to speeds of 40 km/h during this time.
The authorities concerned have been directed to carry out necessary precautionary measures in their respective districts.
The weather office has also warned of widespread rain in the state on Tuesday. As a precaution, the weather agency issued a red alert for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Idukki districts on Tuesday and an orange alert in Kottayam, Alappuzha and Ernakulam. The remaining districts have been placed under a yellow alert.
Fishermen have been strictly advised against venturing to the seas till September 8.
A travel ban has been imposed in hilly and coastal areas. Mining activities have been suspended as well.
The weatherman has also issued an orange alert for Ernakulam, Idukki, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad and Kannur, indicating heavy rains on September 7 (Wednesday), a day before the Onam festival in the state.
A red alert indicates heavy to extremely heavy rains of over 20 cm in 24 hours, while an orange alert means very heavy rains from 6 cm to 20 cm of rain. A yellow alert means heavy rainfall between 6 to 11 cm.
Holiday declared in Thiruvananthapuram
Owing to incessant rain, Thiruvananthapuram Collector Geromic George has declared a holiday for all educational institutions, including professional colleges, in the district on Tuesday (September 6).
However, examinations scheduled for the day will be held as usual.
Heavy rain in the district caused a landslip in Vithura, washing away a car in the process. Those in the car had come to see the Meenmutti waterfall. Though the occupants of the car were rescued, the vehicle is still stuck on a cliff.
Meanwhile, the Vamanapuram river overflowed, flooding Mankayam and Kallar areas.
In Perumathura, two fishermen died after strong winds capsized their boat in Perumathura-Muthalapozhi on Monday. Of the 25 people who were on the boat, 12 were rescued. A search is on for the remaining crew.
Fisherman dies in Alappuzha
A fisherman, who went missing after falling into the sea from his boat in Ambalapuzha, died here on Monday. The deceased is Santhosh (40).
He was found an hour-and-a-half after he went missing. Santhosh died on the way to the hospital.
The incident happened while he was trying to get his boat to the shore amid strong winds.
His foot got tangled in a rope, tripping Santhosh and causing him to fall into the sea. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/05/kerala-receive-heavy-rain-red-alert-four-districts.amp.html | 2022-09-05T15:51:44Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/05/kerala-receive-heavy-rain-red-alert-four-districts.amp.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
States around the country are making it easier for new moms to keep Medicaid in the year after childbirth, a time when depression and other health problems can develop.
But tight government budgets and the program’s low reimbursement may ultimately limit this push or make it hard for women with extended coverage to find doctors.
“A lot of things have changed since the pandemic,” said Venessa Aiken, a new mom in Orlando, Florida. “A lot of places no longer take Medicaid or if they do, you have to wait like two months before you can be seen.”
Many women enroll in government-funded Medicaid health insurance when they become pregnant, because qualifying income levels are higher than for women who aren’t pregnant. The federal government requires states to maintain that coverage for 60 days postpartum, or after the baby arrives. After that, moms in many states lose the coverage unless their income levels are extremely low.
Since the spring, 23 states and Washington, D.C., have said they will extend that coverage for a full year postpartum. Several more states are planning to do so.
These extensions will start helping people after the federal government’s COVID-19 public health emergency ends because states are required to keep patients enrolled during the emergency. It currently will extend at least into early next year.
The push to extend coverage has grown to include both conservative and liberal-leaning states. It also is endorsed by President Joe Biden’s administration as a way to improve equality: Postpartum mortality rates can be much higher among Black and American-Indian or Alaskan Native populations.
“There’s no reason why we should stop before we have every particular mother and baby (covered),” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told The Associated Press. “Why wouldn’t you want to provide to a new mother and new baby a full year’s peace of mind?”
The state and federally funded Medicaid program covers prenatal doctor visits for moms and about 42% of births in the U.S.
Having that coverage eliminated some stress for Maureen Forman, who said she was already concerned about her pregnancy when she gave birth to her son last year.
“It was really nice not to worry,” the 41-year-old Bloomington, Indiana, resident said. “I just knew it was all going to be covered. I wish other pregnant women had that same experience.”
Care providers and researchers say that coverage should extend well beyond 60 days after the baby arrives.
They note that many new moms need more time to squeeze in doctor visits while they recover from childbirth and care for a newborn. Some also are juggling a return to work while doing this.
A coverage extension “matches the reality of the postpartum period,” said Usha Ranji of the non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation, which researches health care issues.
Issues like postpartum depression can develop months later, and some mothers might have lingering health problems that need care. Some also may need continued substance abuse treatment.
Those who lose coverage may not be able to afford another option like private insurance.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated last year that about 45% of women on Medicaid will become uninsured after the 60-day postpartum coverage period ends.
While nearly half the states have expanded the coverage, health economist Joe Antos said he thinks others will hesitate to add the expense to their budgets.
Mississippi lawmakers scuttled a bill earlier this year that would have extended postpartum coverage partly over concerns about expanding the program.
The coverage extensions, which last five years, are backed partly by funding from the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act. States will have to pay some of the bill.
If the economy slides into a recession, “state enthusiasm for further expansions will also drop off as their own budgets tighten up,” said Antos, who’s with the American Enterprise Institute.
Extending the coverage does not automatically guarantee better care, because finding doctors can be difficult.
Jennie Joseph says the idea of trying to get a referral to a mental health specialist for a Medicaid patient is “laughable.” The Florida midwife said patients first have to find a doctor to provide that referral and then land a therapist who accepts Medicaid, which is even harder.
Joseph is the founder of Commonsense Childbirth, a nonprofit that operates a birth center and clinic in central Florida. She said low Medicaid reimbursement rates and payment hassles are challenging for care providers. She said the government program pays her clinic less than half of what a commercial insurer would pay for a prenatal visit. Medicaid reimbursement for postpartum visits is even less, as little as $34.
“It’s all about trying to get your claim paid, and they are more readily denied than they are paid,” she said. “Because of that, providers don’t make postpartum appointments for these mothers.”
Aiken, the Orlando newborn mom, gave birth at Joseph’s center in July. She has had a hard time getting a call back from her primary care doctor’s office, and she’s worried about getting a referral to a specialist.
“It’s pretty confusing,” she said. “Who do you turn to when you don’t have a (primary care physician)?”
Becerra said he knows that doctor access must be improved. But he sees the coverage extensions as a step toward making things better.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas investigative reporter was stabbed to death outside his home and police are looking for a suspect, authorities said.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers found journalist Jeff German, 69, dead with stab wounds around 10:30 a.m. Saturday after authorities received a 911 call, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
German died of “multiple sharp force injuries” in a homicide, the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner said Sunday.
It appears German was in an altercation with another person that led to the stabbing, which is believed to be an isolated incident, police said.
“We believe the altercation took place outside of the home,” Capt. Dori Koren, a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department spokesman, said at a news conference. “We do have some leads. We are pursuing a suspect but the suspect is outstanding.”
Glenn Cook, the Review-Journal’s executive editor, said German had not communicated any concerns about his personal safety or any threats made against him to anyone in the newspaper’s leadership.
“The Review-Journal family is devastated to lose Jeff,” Cook said in a statement. “He was the gold standard of the news business. It’s hard to imagine what Las Vegas would be like today without his many years of shining a bright light on dark places.”
German joined the Review-Journal in 2010 after more than two decades at the Las Vegas Sun, where he was a columnist and reporter who covered courts, politics, labor, government and organized crime.
He was known for his stories about government malfeasance and political scandals and coverage of the 2017 mass shooting at a Las Vegas music festival that killed 60 people and wounded more than 400 others.
According to the Review-Journal, German held a master’s degree from Marquette University and was the author of the 2001 true-crime book “Murder in Sin City: The Death of a Las Vegas Casino Boss,” the story of the death of Ted Binion, heir to the Horseshoe Club fortune. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/police-las-vegas-journalist-dies-in-stabbing-outside-home | 2022-09-05T15:53:04Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/police-las-vegas-journalist-dies-in-stabbing-outside-home | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Summer and fall are peak seasons for the West Nile Virus.
According to the Center for Disease Control, West Nile cases have been reported in humans from California to New York this year.
As of late August, the CDC said it had received reports for 98 cases of West Nile Virus in humans.
The virus is spread to people who have been bitten by an infected mosquito.
"Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds," the CDC states.
The CDC has reported six deaths related to West Nile in 2022, but the number is likely higher. In Colorado alone, there have been three deaths from the virus, which have not yet been confirmed by the CDC.
Colorado health officials believe a person in their 60s died last week died from complications from the virus.
The CDC says about 1 out of every 150 people infected with the virus will develop serious, sometimes fatal, illness. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/west-nile-cases-reported-across-the-us | 2022-09-05T15:53:17Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/west-nile-cases-reported-across-the-us | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Doses of the bivalent COVID-19 booster designed to combat the most common COVID subvariants might be available as soon as next week in Yakima County and across the country.
Though COVID-19 numbers in Yakima County continued to drop for the fifth consecutive week, federal health officials are anticipating a nationwide spike in COVID cases during the winter months.
A new booster
To prepare for this, the U.S Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention both approved Pizfer and Moderna’s bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccines earlier in the week.
Unlike the monovalent COVID-19 vaccine that came before it, the bivalent vaccine carries the genetic recipe for the original COVID-19 strain first detected in 2019 as well as the genetic recipe for omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5. Combined, these two strains make up about 93% of all COVID-19 cases in Washington.
The addition of this genetic recipe makes the bivalent vaccine better suited to prevent the spread and infection of omicron subvariants. It can also lower the chances of hospitalization due to COVID-19.
Who can get it?
Per both the FDA and CDC, Pfizer’s booster will be available for people ages 12 and up. The Moderna booster is available for adults 18 and up.
The bivalent booster will replace all other booster vaccines in the country. The monovalent vaccine will be available only for primary vaccination rounds.
Though the federal government has already purchased 171 million doses of the new booster, stock will initially be in short supply as deliveries are made across the country. State health officials ask residents to be patient and to prioritize the vaccine for high-risk individuals.
Where can you get it?
During an Aug. 26 media briefing, Lacy Fehrenbach, chief of prevention, safety and health with the Washington State Department of Health, said the DOH has pre-ordered 191,900 booster doses to be sent to different health facilities across the state. Doses ordered by the state are expected to ship the week of Sept. 5.
Nathan Johnson, the Yakima Health District’s emergency response coordinator, said the district has yet to order any doses.
Nationwide pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVS have started accepting vaccine appointments for the new booster. Both expect the booster to be in stock by early to mid-September.
Local COVID numbers
Total new cases in Yakima County now sit at 81,420 according to the YHD. Weekly case counts dropped from 349 the week of Aug. 22 to 330 last week. Two new deaths were reported, up one from the week before, bringing the total in Yakima County to 739.
The infection rate per 100,000 people in the past 14 days has also dropped from 291 the week of Aug. 22 to 266.
According to the DOH, the county’s vaccination rate sits at 59.9%. The CDC’s COVID-19 community level for Yakima County is low.
Testing and other resources
The YHD recommends visiting www.YakimaVaccines.org or www.YakimaVacunas.org for vaccine locations and availability.
Washington state offers free rapid tests at its sayyescovidhomestest.org website.
People who test positive for COVID-19 are advised to stay home and away from other people while they are contagious. People who used an at-home test can report positive results to Washington’s COVID-19 hotline at 1-800-525-0127.
If your household needs additional resources, call Care Connect Washington at 1-800-525-0127.

Harry Styles already has an enviable acting resume for a newcomer, from Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” to the upcoming “Don’t Worry Darling” and “My Policeman.” But the pop star said Monday at the Venice International Film Festival that, with acting, he often feels as if he has “no idea what I’m doing.”
Styles’ arrival on the Lido, where “Don’t Worry Darling” is having its world premiere Monday night, has been one of the most anticipated events of a festival full of stars. At a press conference before the premiere, Styles was peppered with questions about his fans, his career and whether or not he would work with director Olivia Wilde again — neither of which he answered.
In “Don’t Worry Darling,” Styles plays Jack, who works for the mysterious Victory Project, run by Chris Pine’s charismatic cult-like leader, in a mid-century-styled experimental community. Florence Pugh plays Jack’s wife Alice, who gets every comfort in the world in exchange for not asking questions. But soon, she starts to see cracks in the veneer.
“I think it’s fun to get to play in worlds that aren’t necessarily your own. This world that is supposedly so perfect, it’s really fun to play pretend in there,” Styles said. “There wasn’t too much acting.”
Styles took several days off from his Madison Square Garden appearances to attend the “Don’t Worry Darling” premiere in Venice, with Wilde and co-stars Pine and Gemma Chan. But though he juggles two high-profile careers in the arts, he said he doesn’t see many parallels between music and acting.
“Personally I find them to be kind of opposite in a lot of ways. I think making music is a really personal thing,” Styles said. “There’s aspects of acting where you’re drawing from experiences you’ve had but for the most part you’re pretending to play someone else. I think that’s what I find the most fun about it: playing pretend.”
He added: “I think the fun part is you never know what you’re doing. Music I’ve done for longer, but what I like about acting is I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.”
Fans were already gathering in front of the theater early Monday to get a prime perch in front of the red carpet for the premiere, hours in advance. Many had personal stories about how Styles’ music impacted their lives.
“I’m incredibly grateful to the people who’ve supported me in my life and the fans in particular have always provided me with a place to be myself and feel comfortable doing so and express myself,” he said about what it’s like to mean so much to so many people. “I would like to hope I can give that space back to them.” | https://nypost.com/2022/09/05/harry-styles-on-acting-i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing/ | 2022-09-05T16:03:26Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/05/harry-styles-on-acting-i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC) could get a boost in the event of a rate hike at the FOMC meeting scheduled for September 20-21. The rising rate environment can boost the banking major’s net interest income (NII), which is the revenue derived from interest-bearing assets less interest paid to depositors. Market experts are predicting a 50 basis points (bps) rate hike in September.
In this regard, Ethan Harris, Head of Global Economics at BofA Global Research, has stated that “Nonetheless, the favorable tone of the July inflation data means the Fed is likely to raise its policy rate by 50bp in September, as opposed to opting for another large 75bp hike. BofA continues to forecast 50bp hikes in September and November, followed by a 25bp hike in December, bringing the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.50-3.75% at year-end,” as stated in an article published on Financialexpress.com.
Against this current backdrop, let’s take a look at two bank stocks that Wall Street analysts are bullish on:
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC)
Backed by robust growth in loans and rising interest rates, North Carolina-based Bank of America saw a surge in net interest income in the second quarter of 2022. The world’s second-largest bank by market capitalization ($268.62 billion) also benefitted from rising consumer spending. The company also witnessed an upside in both credit and debit card spending.
BAC predicts NII in the third quarter of 2022 to surge by a minimum of $900 million or $1 billion over the year-ago period.
Is Bank of America a Good Stock to Buy?
Turning to Wall Street, analysts look cautious but optimistic about BAC stock, which has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 11 Buys and five Holds. BAC’s average price target of $42.40 implies 26.8% upside potential. Shares of the company have lost about 26.4% year-to-date.
Meanwhile, financial bloggers are 87% Bullish on BAC, compared to the sector average of 68%. As per TipRanks, hedge funds, too, look bullish on the stock, as they increased their holdings in Bank of America by 1.7 million shares in the last quarter.
Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC)
The American multinational financial services company registered a 16% year-over-year rise in its NII in the second quarter of 2022. With rising interest rates supporting the net interest income growth along with falling expenses, the California-based bank’s management is expecting to see improved performance in the quarters ahead.
Wells Fargo is making significant strides to boost its loan and deposit balances and consumer card portfolios. It projects a 20% year-over-year jump in NII in 2022, backed by rising interest rates.
Is Wells Fargo a Good Company to Invest In?
As of now, Wells Fargo stock could be a good investment option. Analysts tracked by TipRanks have a Strong Buy consensus rating on WFC stock, which has 23.4% upside potential. WFC’s average price target stands at $53.54.
Wells Fargo stock has lost 13% so far this year. However, financial bloggers on TipRanks are 78% Bullish on WFC, compared to the sector average of 68%.
Final Thoughts
Improving U.S. economic conditions can also support the top-line growth of banking players. Further, sell-offs induced by recessionary fears have resulted in bank stocks appearing to be trading at attractive discounts to their long-term historical averages. This offers some great buying opportunities for taking long-term positions despite the probability of the U.S. economy entering a recession.

In this article, I will be going over five different cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash — that traders may want to keep their eyes on.
July was a strong month for crypto as prices saw double-digit growth. The chatter on Twitter was all about how the bull market had arrived, how crypto was on its way to the moon, and how everyone was going to become millionaires.
However, sentiment reversed by the end of August. With the Federal Reserve making its intent to raise interest rates very clear, the crypto market felt the burn as it lost more than $100 billion in value.
Bitcoin (BTC-USD)
Bitcoin was down more than 15% in August. At the time of this writing, it can be clearly seen that Bitcoin is trading above the major support area of $19,000. This is an area on the chart where buyers in the past have come in and pushed the price higher.
If the bulls remain in control, they might be able to push the price back up to the next resistance level at around $25,000. This is an area on the chart where sellers usually come in and push the price lower.
If the buyers lose control at the $19,000 region, traders can expect to see another dip to the next major support area at around $18,000. This will be a very important area where buyers have previously entered the market.
Ethereum (ETH-USD)
Ethereum, which is the second largest cryptocurrency, is roughly flat over the past month. In July, with the anticipation of the upcoming Merge, Ethereum took off from the level of $1,500 and shot up by 30% all the way to the key psychological level of $2,000, only to end up falling all the way back down again.
Ethereum is forming a “Head & Shoulders” pattern, which is considered to be a bearish pattern where sellers are stronger than the buyers and are hoping to push the price lower. This is something that traders must watch closely, as a break below this level can possibly lead to the cryptocurrency plummeting down to the next support level at $1,000.
However, the bulls came back into the game at $1,400 and are now holding strong above this level. If the buyers can remain strong enough to break and close a daily candle above the $1,600 zone, then there might be enough positive momentum to push the price above $2,000.
Ripple (XRP-USD)
With the verdict of the SEC trial still a long way from being determined, Ripple and its XRP native token have felt it hard. XRP has dropped more than 74% over the past year. Currently, the price of Ripple seems to be holding above the key support area at around $0.32-$0.33.
If the selling pressure continues and the price breaks below this key level, there is a chance that XRP will drop all the way down to the major weekly support at around $0.25-$0.27.
On the flip side, if there is a fresh wave of buying in the general crypto market or a positive outcome from the ongoing trial, XRP will need to break above the $0.50 weekly resistance level before discussing further upside targets.
Litecoin (LTC-USD)
Litecoin, one of the oldest cryptocurrencies that was created by Charlie Lee, a former Google employee, is also having a rough time at the moment. The cryptocurrency is down more than 74% this past year and is approaching a key monthly support area at around $45, which held strongly back in late 2020 before shooting up to its all-time high at $413.
As of now, traders are keeping a close eye on whether or not the buyers will come in as expected or if there will be more selling pressure to break below this support and crash the price to the next support area at around $35.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH-USD)
Bitcoin Cash is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that offers faster transaction settlements and lower fees than the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin Cash network resulted from a hard fork in the Bitcoin network in 2017.
Bitcoin Cash is down more than 80% in the last year, but unlike the other cryptocurrencies covered in this article, BCH broke into a new all-time low at around $90.
As of now, the buyers have come in and managed to push the price slightly higher into the $120 region. Still, by looking at the chart, the cryptocurrency still seems bearish, with the possibility of falling even further to a new all-time low.
Conclusion: Crypto Markets are Still in a Bearish Trend
The crypto markets are still in a bearish trend where the market prints lower highs and lower lows. As long as this trend continues, I will be looking to short-sell every bounce. Once I can clearly see higher highs and higher lows being formed, I’ll change my strategy and start buying the dips more aggressively. | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/cryptocurrencies-to-watch-for-the-week-of-september-4 | 2022-09-05T16:08:21Z | tipranks.com | control | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/cryptocurrencies-to-watch-for-the-week-of-september-4 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
In this piece, we used TipRanks’ Comparison Tool to check in on three COVID-era losers — DIS, BA, and DAL — that seem unlikely to be held down for too long, even if a 2023 recession hits. Despite dire circumstances, each name has a “Strong Buy” from Wall Street analysts, with a solid magnitude of year-ahead upside.
The COVID-19 pandemic seems to be winding down, even as the less-deadly Omicron variant looks to surge in the fall season. With boosters and other effective protocols, the pandemic may not be able to hold back some of the biggest losers from the coronavirus market crash of 2020.
From airlines to cruise lines, many COVID-hit stocks have yet to post a full recovery from their 2020 slides. With a recession likely coming up, many such COVID-hit firms (travel and leisure firms) could face another hit to the chin as demand wanes, not due to public health concerns but financial stress on consumer balance sheets.
Indeed, many COVID-hit companies are in desperate need of a break. Still, a lot of such punished firms have been forced to stay on their toes to remain resilient in the face of profound macro challenges. Sure, the light at the end of the tunnel may be a tad farther off as economic storm clouds approach. However, I expect more of the same out of the well-run pandemic-era losers: resilience through trying times.
Disney (DIS)
Walt Disney has already been through so much, with COVID lockdowns taking away from parks and cruise revenues. Though Disney+ helped Disney make it through one of the worst headwind storms in its history, it did not take long before the video-streaming market came crumbling down in the face of an economic recession.
Streaming used to be the cure to a media firm’s growth woes. These days, a capable streaming platform is just another pricy requirement for staying competitive. Though streaming is maturing, it’s still capable of growth. Like with any market, the best players could hog most of the economic profits to be had. In that regard, I view Disney as the new king of the streaming kingdom, with its must-stream trio of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
In the grander scheme of things, Disney’s streaming push is still in its earlier stages. Yet, its growth has been absolutely remarkable. Even if a recession weighs on streaming as a whole, I view Disney as a firm capable of taking share away from incumbents. CEO Bob Chapek knows that content is king, and billions will need to go into content creation to win the streaming wars.
Disney’s streaming strategy is sound, and price increases will keep coming as users get “stuck” on new exclusive series. As COVID abates further, I expect parks and cruises to continue gaining traction. There’s still plenty of pent-up demand unmet, in my opinion, and I don’t think a recession will destroy such demand permanently. It’ll merely delay it.
Wall Street loves Disney stock, too, with 17 Buys and three Holds assigned in the past three months. The average DIS stock price target of $144 implies nearly 30% upside potential over the year ahead.
Boeing (BA)
Boeing is a planemaker whose troubles started well before the pandemic wreaked havoc on global air travel. Making aircraft was never supposed to be easy.
Recent supply chain woes weighed on the firm’s ability to meet the demand for its newest fuel-efficient planes, including the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner. Both aircraft have been hit with their fair share of issues. With many such problems and supply chain issues being ironed out, Boeing can finally begin to deliver for its clients and investors.
Recently, Boeing clocked in solid second-quarter results that saw cash flows improve. Deliveries for the 787 are expected to pick up, and the firm no longer seems destined for a crash-landing.
Though Boeing has come a long way since the depths of 2020, its stock (currently at $151 and change per share) isn’t much higher from where it spent most of 2020. In any case, I expect clearer skies ahead as management looks to tackle the remainder of its operational issues. Once it can clear the runway, it may prove tough to stop shares from taking off, even if a recession is in the cards for 2023.
At just 1.6 times sales, I’d argue there’s a lot to gain by giving the firm the benefit of the doubt. Wall Street analysts seem to agree, with 11 Buys, two Holds, and a price target implying more than 40% upside. Currently, the average BA stock price forecast is $213.33 per share.
Delta Air Lines (DAL)
Sticking with the air travel theme, we have Delta, which, like Boeing, is back on the retreat toward 2020 levels. Shares of the major U.S. carrier are off more than 50% from their 2020 pre-pandemic high. With the stock on the retreat since its relief rally peaked in early 2021, the stock seems to be a no-fly for many investors.
The airlines are capital-intensive businesses that struggled through COVID lockdowns. As air travel demand gradually comes back online, Delta will be in a spot to take to the skies again. However, in the meantime, the coming storm of macro headwinds seems to be outside of management’s control.
When a recession hits, travel demand tends to slip. Labor shortages, higher costs from inflation, and reduced capacity could also act as a lingering thorn in the side of the airline as it looks to move past its multi-year funk.
If it’s not the high cost of jet fuel, it’s a demand-weighing recession that’s of concern for Delta. Though revenues could turn lower in 2023, I think the stock is getting too cheap to ignore at 0.5 times sales.
Wall Street loves Delta, as analysts have rated the company as a strong buy with 10 Buys and one Hold. In addition, the average DAL stock price target of $47.15 equates to a potential gain of 52.4%.
Conclusion – Wall Street Expects the Most from Delta
Disney, Boeing, and Delta are COVID losers that are marked down ahead of a recession. Despite yet another setback, I believe each firm is so battered that it may not take much to send them back into rally mode. Of the three stocks, Wall Street expects the most from Delta. Personally, I’m a fan of Boeing because it’s basically a member of a duopoly. | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/which-pandemic-loser-is-best-positioned-for-a-rebound | 2022-09-05T16:08:34Z | tipranks.com | control | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/which-pandemic-loser-is-best-positioned-for-a-rebound | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (KSTU) — Many thought Labor Day was off to an extraterrestrial start after a strange strand of lights appeared over the Utah sky.
However, the lights were Starlink Satellites, according to findstarlink.com.
A video from Josue Garay shows the satellites in Salt Lake City. Garay said he was walking his dog when he saw the lights.
Visibility was good for the SpaceX satellites at around 5:30 a.m. Monday morning in Utah.
People who missed the event Monday will get another opportunity to see the satellites. They are expected to be visible again Tuesday morning.

Summer and fall are peak seasons for the West Nile Virus.
According to the Center for Disease Control, West Nile cases have been reported in humans from California to New York this year.
As of late August, the CDC said it had received reports for 98 cases of West Nile Virus in humans.
The virus is spread to people who have been bitten by an infected mosquito.
"Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds," the CDC states.
The CDC has reported six deaths related to West Nile in 2022, but the number is likely higher. In Colorado alone, there have been three deaths from the virus, which have not yet been confirmed by the CDC.
Colorado health officials believe a person in their 60s died last week died from complications from the virus.
The CDC says about 1 out of every 150 people infected with the virus will develop serious, sometimes fatal, illness. | https://www.katc.com/news/national/west-nile-cases-reported-across-the-us | 2022-09-05T16:09:55Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/national/west-nile-cases-reported-across-the-us | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The San Gabriel Valley area high school football top 30 rankings for teams covered by the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Pasadena Star-News and Whittier Daily News.
FOOTBALL TOP 30
1. Bishop Amat (2-1)
Amat coach Steve Hagerty said it best following a 42-7 loss to St. John Bosco, ranked No. 1 in the country. “They didn’t come here to get upset, they came here to kick our butts,” Hagerty said. And that’s what it was. Amat will have a bye week to shake it off, then should be favorored against the rest of its schedule.
Previous: 1
Next: at Leuzinger, Sept. 16
2. La Serna (2-1)
The Lancers look even better than last years’ Division 4 semifinals team, getting great performances each week from QB Jake Long and RB Owen Long. They absolutely crushed Los Osos, and are playing well offensively, and defensively against solid opponents. And the big tests just keep on coming with a deep drive to Orange County next.
Previous: 3
Next: at Tesoro, Friday, 7 p.m.
3. Pasadena (2-1)
The Bullodgs’ dominant second half against Damien led to a come-from-behind 22-21 victory. When you consider its only loss was a 15-14 setback against La Serna, which came without its top receiver and running back, you wonder how good it can get. It has another solid test against Loyola next.
Previous: 4
Next: vs. Loyola, Friday, 7 p.m.
4. Charter Oak (2-0)
The Chargers dominated visiting Glendora offensively and defensively, beating the Tartans 34-7. It was another big night for QB Richie Munoz, who threw for 188 yards and three touchdowns. They will get a much bigger test against Chino Hills, but they appear ready for it.
Previous: 6
Next: vs. Chino Hills, Friday, 7 p.m.
5. Monrovia (3-0)
The Wildcats score almost every time they have the ball and routed previously undefeated El Rancho, 58-26. Their season opening win over Bonita lost some shine with Bonita losing to La Salle, but the biggeest test of the season is next against undefeated Ayala (3-0), who may wind up in Division 2 or 3.
Previous: 8
Next: at Ayala, Friday, 7 p.m.
6. Damien (1-2)
All the momentum the Spartans gained from a big win over Loyola, it gave right back in a crushing 22-21 loss to Pasadena, blowing a 15-0 halftime lead. Close losses were the theme of last years’ 3-7 season, so the next few weeks are crucial, and playing a Trinity league school next won’t help.
Previous: 2
Next: vs. Orange Lutheran at Orange Coast College, Friday, 7 p.m.
7. La Mirada (1-2)
There aren’t supposed to be moral victories, but how else can you explain the past two weeks in close losses to Yorba Linda and the Trinity League’s Servite. The Mats had a chance to beat the Friars, losing only 10-7. They will likely get routed next against Mater Dei, but the Mats have secured their spot among our top ten with their performances against quality.
Previous: 9
Next: vs. Mater Dei at Santa Ana Stadium, Friday, 7 p.m.
8. Northview (2-1)
The Vikings routed previously unbeaten South Hills, 44-14, and when you consider its only loss came against Charter Oak in a game that they nearly rushed for 500 yards, you have to be impressed with their longterm prognosis.
Previous: NR
Next: vs. Covina at Covina District Field, Friday, 7 p.m.
9. St. Francis (1-2)
The Golden Knights are in a lot of trouble, they give up too many points, losing to Long Beach Millikan, 54-28. Over three games, they’re averaging 40 points, but allowing an average of 54 a game, and that won’t get it done, not against good teams.
Previous: 5
Next: vs. St. Pius X-St. Matthias, Friday, 7 p.m.
10. St. Paul (2-1)
The Swordsmen finally played a good opponent, and it wasn’t pretty, getting rocked by St. Pius X-St. Matthias, 42-13. As far as the big picture, nobody has looked particularly impressive in the Angelus League, so they will have as good a chance as any.
Previous: 7
Next: vs. West Ranch, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Judge grants Trump bid for special master in Mar-a-Lago case
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Monday granted a request by former President Donald Trump’s legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI during a search of his Florida home last month.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon came despite the objections of the Justice Department, which said an outside legal expert was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents. The judge had previously signaled her inclination to approve a special master, asking a department lawyer during arguments this month, “What is the harm?”
The appointment may slow the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago, but it is unlikely to affect any investigative decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe.

Russia sanctions 25 more Americans, including Sean Penn, Ben Stiller
(AP) - Russia imposed personal sanctions Monday on 25 Americans, including actors Sean Penn and Ben Stiller, in response to U.S. sanctions against Russians stemming from the conflict in Ukraine.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was on the new sanctions list, as were several American senators: Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Rick Scott of Florida and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the group, which also included business leaders, academics and government officials, would be banned permanently from entering Russia.
Previous rounds of Russian sanctions against Americans have included President Joe Biden and members of his family, as well as lawmakers and business leaders. The U.S. has sanctioned numerous Russians, including government officials and business people.
Penn and Stiller have been outspoken critics of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Penn is an activist involved in relief work, among other causes. Stiller is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.

(The Hill) – At least nine mass shootings have taken place nationwide so far during Labor Day weekend, leaving at least 10 people dead, according to Gun Violence Archive.
The mass shootings, which the organization defines as incidents in which four or more people were shot or killed, not including the shooter, took place in cities including Norfolk, Va., Charleston, S.C., and Chicago, among others.
The deadliest shooting of the weekend so far, according to the group, took place in Saint Paul, Minn., where three people died and two others were injured on Sunday in the city’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood.
The local police department said officers were called at about 4:30 p.m. and found two people outside a home suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, both of whom were sent to the hospital, KARE reported.
The officers also found three more people, who were later pronounced dead, shot inside the home, the outlet reported.
“This unthinkable crime will not only affect the crime victims and their families, but it will affect the neighborhood where it occurred and our city as a whole,” police spokesperson Sgt. Mike Ernster told KARE, adding that authorities had been called to the house at least 17 times in the last year.
Earlier on Sunday, authorities said a shooting in Norfolk, Va., near the campus of Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University left two people dead and seven others injured.
Authorities identified the victims as Zabre Miller, 25, and Angelia McKnight, 19, later died at the hospital as a result of their injuries, officials said.
Close to the same time, police responded to gunshots in downtown Charleston, S.C.
Five people were injured in that shooting, near the intersection of King and Morris streets, and were sent to hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries, CNN reported. Police arrested two suspects.
In the suburbs of Washington, D.C., on Saturday night, a 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy were shot outside an AMC movie theater and were hospitalized, WJLA reported. The shooting came hours after a nearby AMC theater in Alexandria, Va., closed after receiving a threat, according to the outlet.
Also on Saturday, Birmingham, Ala., police officers found three gunshot victims in the 100 Block of 3rd Avenue West. Police said two of the victims died, identified as Jalen Jamarcus Tolbert, 24, and Marquse Terrail Yarbrough, 25.
A shooting at Vick’s Supper Club in Palatka, Fla., on Saturday left two people dead and two others injured, police said. A fifth person was severely hurt after they were beaten with a “blunt object.”
In Canada, a series of stabbings left 10 people dead and 15 others injured. Authorities are searching for two suspects. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/spate-of-violence-across-us-mars-labor-day-weekend/ | 2022-09-05T16:16:28Z | siouxlandproud.com | control | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/spate-of-violence-across-us-mars-labor-day-weekend/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Falling gas prices could land under $3 in some states
Gas prices are expected to continue their downward trend after Labor Day and into the fall, with some states possibly seeing a dip below $3 per gallon, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, told CNBC in an interview published Monday.
Driving the news: Gas prices last week fell for the eleventh week in a row ahead of the holiday weekend.
- The national average price was $3.786 per gallon on Monday, according to AAA.
- However, experts warn that prices could spike again if weather and the hurricane season end up impacting oil refineries and disrupting production.
What they're saying: Short of any disruption to production, De Haan said falling gas prices will continue. “I think the good news is going to keep going for now,” he said.
- “I’m hopeful we can get to $3.49 between Halloween and Thanksgiving,” he added of the national average price per gallon.
- “I still think we could see some states drop under $3, primarily Oklahoma, Texas by the end of the year, if not earlier,” he said. | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/05/gas-prices-fall-3-dollar | 2022-09-05T16:21:57Z | axios.com | control | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/05/gas-prices-fall-3-dollar | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
LANGLEY, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard was continuing to search Monday for nine people, including a child, who were missing after a floatplane crashed in the waters of Puget Sound northwest of Seattle.
The body of a 10th person was recovered by a good Samaritan on Sunday after the crash was reported at 3:11 p.m., Coast Guard spokesperson William Colclough said Monday.
The Northwest Seaplanes flight left Friday Harbor, a popular tourist destination in the San Juan Islands, and was headed to Renton Municipal Airport, the company’s base, Colclough said.
The plane went down in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of downtown Seattle and about halfway between Friday Harbor and Renton, a suburb south of Seattle.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Monday that they’re sending a team of seven to investigate the crash of the DHC-3 Turbine Otter.
The cause of the crash is unknown, authorities said.
Four Coast Guard vessels, a rescue helicopter and an aircraft were involved in the extensive search, along with nearby rescue and law enforcement agencies.
The Coast Guard said crews searched throughout the night, “but no additional individuals were recovered and no debris spotted. Coast Guard aircraft are beginning a search this morning. This remains an active search.”
Northwest Seaplanes is a family owned business founded by Clyde Carlson, according to the company’s website. It has 24-years of “accident and incident free flying,” the website said.
A woman who answered the phone early Monday said they’re waiting to learn more and are devastated by the crash.
“It’s a small crew. Everyone’s close,” said the woman, who would only give her first name, Michelle. She declined to say more.
The Northwest Seaplanes website says its sister company Friday Harbor Seaplanes operates daily flights to and from their Renton base and the San Juan Islands, a scenic archipelago northwest of Seattle that draws tourists from around the world.
Floatplanes, which have pontoons allowing them to land on water, are a common sight around Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. There are multiple, daily flights between the Seattle area and the San Juan Islands.
These aircraft, which also fly between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, frequently travel over Seattle and land on Lake Washington and on Lake Union, not far from the city’s iconic Space Needle.
The airport where the flight was headed Sunday is at the southern tip of Lake Washington, less than 5 miles (8 kilometers) from Seattle. It’s located next to a Boeing plant and is best known for where new 737s first hit the sky.
In July, 2020, a De Havilland Beaver operated by Brooke’s Seaplanes was on a scenic flight in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, with five passengers and a pilot when it collided with a Cessna 206. Eight people were killed.
In 2019, a midair crash in Alaska between two sightseeing planes killed six people. The Ketchikan-based floatplanes were carrying passengers from the same cruise ship, the Royal Princess, and were returning from tours of Misty Fjords National Monument. | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/1-dead-9-missing-after-floatplane-crashes-in-washington/ | 2022-09-05T16:26:32Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/1-dead-9-missing-after-floatplane-crashes-in-washington/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
LANSING, Mich. — A Lansing couple has a side hustle that you don't hear about too often. They take the heads of used baby dolls to help them make unique planters.
"We get used baby dolls. And we make molds of them and fill those with cement. And we paint them and we send them out into the world to be adopted," said co-owner Laurel Vinton.
Vinton says she found the idea about five years ago.
"I was just going down this Pinterest rabbit hole with mold making and baby doll art and things that could go outside in your garden. And I just kind of combined all of these things together to be this Baby Head Planters," Vinton said. "Five years later, and I've got an entire porch covered in them."
She shares the side hustle with her husband and kids. It's a family activity that's relaxing for them.
"We've been able to do it out here on our front porch. And we have gotten to know so many of our neighbors, and so much of our community," Vinton said.
It's also fun for them especially finding the different dolls.
"We go to garage sales and thrift shops and anywhere with like a consignment shop. Facebook Marketplace, I've gotten some good ones. Mostly used," Vinton said. "Whatever we can find that's already been loved. I like it when they're covered marker or you know, got a couple dents in them. You can really tell the kids had a good time with them."
The Baby Head Planter process from start to finish is super messy.
"First, we, we start with the baby doll, you know, you have to take its heads and hands and feet off, which is fine, because the babies are fine with it. And then we will make a mold out of silicone or latex or you know, whatever solution we have. And then we do go get instant patching cement," Vinton said. "And we fill those molds. Takes about 12 hours to dry."
None of the baby heads are the same, so each one is special. And no body parts are off limits. They also use hands and feet as well to make planters.
"I thought it'd be super cute to like have little plants in feet, you know, because the toes are adorable. And the hands are just as cool because we make the hands that they can be like reaching out of little pots," Vinton said.
Super creepy but also cute. And if you're not a plant person, there are other uses for them.
"I have them all over. I have one on my desk filled with paperclips, and I have them in the bathroom with Q-tips in them, and you know, we have all kinds of things in these baby heads," Vinton said.
They offer four sizes. A small is $5, a medium is $15, a large is $20 and an extra large is $25.
Vinton hopes those in the community will continue to embrace her Baby Head Planters.
They will be at Hearse Fest in Fowlerville in two weeks and the 517 Living Community Night in October.

At a time when many Americans are strapped for cash, companies are becoming more strategic with their pricing to customers to pay more.
Tickets for Bruce Springsteen's tour recently went for as high as $5,000.
It's estimated that 11% of those tickets were sold through "dynamic pricing."
It's a strategy that companies use to charge higher prices when there is increased demand.
Chuck Bell, with Consumer Reports, says companies will raise prices as high as they want, based on market trends or how much they think people will pay.
Some companies even use your shopping habits or web browsing history to set a personalized price, meaning some people may see an increased price for the same item.
The airline industry uses this strategy frequently, according to Bell.
"If you’re sitting on a plane, you might find out that you paid $200 more for your ticket than your neighbor did," Bell said.
Shopping around and using price comparison websites can help customers avoid paying high prices.
However, until there are more consumer protections, Bell says retailers have the upper hand.
"We need agencies like the FTC to and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to enact protections for consumers, 'cause a lot of these things we can't see very easily," he said. | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/dynamic-pricing-can-leave-consumers-paying-more | 2022-09-05T16:38:00Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/dynamic-pricing-can-leave-consumers-paying-more | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Atlanta Popeyes calls police on student trying to buy homeless man food
ATLANTA - A Georgia State University student says workers at an Atlanta Popeyes called the police on her after she tried to buy food for a man experiencing homelessness.
Video of the whole ordeal has been seen by more than 5 million people on TikTok.
GSU senior Jo Ortega told FOX 5's Rob DiRienzo that she was picking up an order for Doordash at the Popeyes near Ponce de Leon Ave when she noticed a man off to the side who looked hungry.
When she went to order him a two-piece, employees at the store weren’t happy.
"No ma’am, you can’t do it," an employee said in the video.
"Why? He’s asking for food?" Ortega replied.
"Ma’am, you can’t do it," another employee said. "I could care less about you recording me baby."
The takeout window then slammed shut.
Ortega’s initial disbelief that employees wouldn’t let her buy food for the man experiencing homelessness turned to anxiety when the police showed up.
"At that moment I was terrified, I thought I was gonna get arrested," she said. "Maybe I should just call my family, and I might not be coming home tonight."
Atlanta police confirmed that they did respond to a call of a woman refusing to leave the drive-through, but since Ortega didn’t break any laws, they didn’t do anything.
In fact, she says officers actually commended her.
"The officer pulled me to the side and said, ‘I really thank you for doing that, thank you for buying him food. I appreciate that,’" Ortega said.
Ortega says they eventually got a hold of a general manager at the store who felt terrible about the whole thing, and he ended up letting her and the man order anything they wanted that night free of charge.
"My name is Jazz and thanks," the man said in a follow-up video, Popeyes cup in hand.
Popeyes told FOX 5 in a statement that they "are committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect," adding, "We have ensured all employees at this restaurant have been provided with retraining to help navigate a range of guest interactions, such as the situation highlighted in the video."
Ortega has started an online fundraiser to help Jazz find permanent housing.
"Oftentimes homeless [people] are treated like stray animals, stray cats. If you feed them they’re going to keep coming back," Ortega said. "In all of this, I believe that people deserve to be treated like people." | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/atlanta-popeyes-police-student-homeless-man-food-tiktok | 2022-09-05T16:43:08Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/atlanta-popeyes-police-student-homeless-man-food-tiktok | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Brendan Fraser breaks down in tears, 'The Whale' receives 6-minute standing ovation at Venice Film Festival
Brendan Fraser reveled in the spotlight once again at the Venice Film Festival and was praised for his role in the upcoming Darren Aronofsky movie, "The Whale."
The 53-year-old actor kept his best composure while walking the red carpet of the famed festival, only to break down in tears once inside the cinema as theatergoers gave the star a six-minute standing ovation for his performance, according to Variety.
Fraser, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight after addressing physical ailments due to performing many of his own stunts on screen, was then also plagued by the mental repercussion of an alleged sexual assault incident that happened in 2003.
He's returning to the silver screen again for what many believe could be an Oscar contending role as Charlie, a 600-pound gay man who feels as though his life is coming to an end.

Fraser was noticeably moved by the response to the film that he could barely stand up as the crowd cheered once the credits rolled when the movie was over in a video captured from inside the festival.
"Brendan Fraser is back — and he sobbed during the #Venezia79 six-minute standing ovation for #TheWhale," Ramin Setoodeh tweeted.

He then added, "The standing ovation for #TheWhale was so enthusiastic, Brendan Fraser tried to leave the theater but the crowd’s applause made him stay."
During a pre-show interview with press, Fraser showed gratitude for "the warm reception" he's received since discussing his latest work.
"I’m looking forward to how this film makes a deep impression on everyone as much as it has on me," he said, via The New York Times.

Fraser recalled having to wear an extensive amount of prosthetics that sometimes weighed up to 300 pounds to play Charlie, a reclusive character based on the 2012 Off-Broadway play by Samuel D. Hunter.
"I needed to learn to move in a new way," Fraser said. "I developed muscles that I did not know that I had. I even felt a sense of vertigo at the end of the day when all the appliances were removed, just as you would feel stepping off the boat onto the dock here in Venice."
But still, walking in Charlie's footsteps gave Fraser "an appreciation for those whose bodies are similar because I learned that you need to be an incredibly strong person physically, mentally, to inhabit that physical being. And I think that is Charlie."
The role represents a major comeback for Fraser's career as it is his first leading role in almost a decade. "The Mummy" star has roles this year in Martin Scorsese's latest western film "Killers of the Flower Moon" and with Dawn Olivieri and Marcia Cross in "Behind the Curtain of Night."
When asked if he was excited about the prospects of his career once again, Fraser remained humble.
"My crystal ball is broken," Fraser said. "I don’t know if yours works, but meet me after the show, and we’ll take a peek together." | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/brendan-fraser-breaks-down-tears-the-whale-receives-6-minute-standing-ovation-venice-film-festival | 2022-09-05T16:43:15Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/brendan-fraser-breaks-down-tears-the-whale-receives-6-minute-standing-ovation-venice-film-festival | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Eliza Fletcher abduction: Memphis judge sets bond for man charged in relation to kidnapping
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A Memphis judge has set the bond for the 38-year-old man who is charged in relation to the abduction of Eliza Fletcher, a mother of two who was pulled into a car during an early morning run.
Cleotha Abston had his bond set at $500,000 on Sunday, meaning he'd need to post $50,000 in order to be released from jail. He is being charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering.
He was taken into custody by law enforcement officers on Saturday after he was spotted by U.S. Marshals at 10:45 a.m.
An affidavit for Cleotha Abston states that two witnesses, including Abston's brother, Mario, told police that they saw the suspect cleaning the interior of a GMC Terrain, which was named a "vehicle of interest" by police.

The two also stated that they saw Cleotha Abston cleaning "washing his clothes in the sink of the house," adding that he was acting "strange," according to the affidavit.
Eliza Fletcher went missing on Friday morning at 4:30 a.m. at the 3800 Block of Central Ave. in Memphis, Tennessee and was forcefully taken into a GMC Terrain, according to police, who say that there was a struggle.
Video surveillance in the area of the abduction allegedly shows the GMC Terrain "passing and then waiting for the victim to run by," before Cleotha Abston ran "aggressively toward the victim."
She was reported missing at around 7:45 a.m. on Friday when police received two calls, one from Fletcher's husband, Richard Fletcher III, and one from the University of Memphis.

Court documents state that the GMC Terrain was in a nearby parking lot with the victim inside for four minutes before driving off. Police were able to match Cleotha Abston to the crime by using DNA evidence that was collected from a pair of Champion slides sandals that were left in the area of the crime scene.
Police also say that Eliza Fletcher "suffered serious injury" and "left evidence, e.g., blood, in the vehicle that the Defendant cleaned."
Cleotha Abston is due to appear in court on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m.
Law enforcement officials were seen throughout Memphis on Sunday, and conducted searches at "various" locations, according to a Memphis Police Department spokesperson.
People with information in relation to the abduction are urged to call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/eliza-fletcher-abduction-memphis-judge-sets-bond-man-charged-relation-kidnapping | 2022-09-05T16:43:33Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/eliza-fletcher-abduction-memphis-judge-sets-bond-man-charged-relation-kidnapping | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Judge grants Trump bid for special master in Mar-a-Lago case
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Monday granted a request by former President Donald Trump’s legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from his Florida home last month and also temporarily halted the Justice Department’s use of the records for investigative purposes.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon came despite the objections of the Justice Department, which said an outside legal expert was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents. The judge had previously signaled her inclination to approve a special master, asking a department lawyer during arguments this month, “What is the harm?”
The appointment is likely to slow the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago given the judge’s directive that the Justice Department may not for the moment use any of the seized materials for investigative purposes. But it is not clear that it will have any significant effect on any investigative decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe.
Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020, said she would permit the continuation of a risk assessment of the documents being conducted by the U.S. intelligence community.
Trump’s lawyers had argued that a special master — usually an outside lawyer or former judge — was necessary to ensure an independent review of records taken during the Aug. 8 search. Such a review was necessary, they have said, so that any personal information or documents recovered by the FBI could be filtered out and returned to Trump and so that any documents protected by attorney-client privilege or executive privilege could also be segregated from the rest of the investigation.
The Justice Department had argued against the appointment, saying it was unnecessary since it had already reviewed potentially privileged documents and identified a limited subset of materials that could be covered by attorney-client privilege.
It also said Trump was not entitled to the return of any of the presidential records that were taken since he is no longer president and the documents therefore do not belong to him. And personal items that were recovered were commingled with classified information, giving them potential value as evidence, the department has said.

A shoplifting surge prompted by the cost of living crisis has prompted Tesco to beef up its security by putting tags on food, reports Birmingham Live. Revealing the growing trend to Times Radio, Tesco chairman John Allan said it's borne out of "desperate people seeking desperate measures".
"Shoplifting is a concern and you know, getting the police to take action and respond to cases where we and other retailers... this is a concern right across the retail trade. I don't sympathise with people who shoplift, but I can understand desperate people taking desperate measures, sometimes when you know, they've literally got no money left."
A cost of living crisis has been gripping the UK for months, with soaring energy costs and spiralling inflation among the issues currently facing an economy which is heading into recession. This landscape is leading to a raft of consequences, including a spike in shoplifting incidents.

The retailer chairman added: "There's a limit to the amount you can do. Yes, we are putting more security presence into those of our stores that are most impacted by shoplifting. But we're doing that selectively."
Sainsbury's, meanwhile, has said it will pump £65 million into its pricing next month amid ratcheting pressure on customers' budgets. Simon Roberts, chief executive of the supermarket chain, promised the brand will stand with its customers "to ease the financial pressure they face".

The village is sure to prompt gasps of admiration at every turn - whether it is the dramatic sight of the grand Penshurst Place coming into view, or the delightful horseshoe-shaped entrance of The Forge village stores. The architecture from white weatherboarded to Tudor, red bricks or red tiles, means buildings in every direction there are buildings on which to feast your eyes.
Penshurst is just under seven miles from Tunbridge Wells and five-and-a-half miles from Tonbridge and the drives there are beautiful. Travelling through the countryside on Rogues Hill from Tonbridge, the sight in the distance of St John the Baptist Church which stands in the parkland of Penshurst Place and Gardens, is a remarkable view.
Many views in the village are so idyllic and perfectly-preserved, you feel as though you are on a Hollywood film set depicting England as it once was. The combined population of Penshurst and the neighbouring villages of Fordcombe and Chiddingstone was 2,556 in June 2020, according to the Office of National Statistics.
Penshurst is in a valley in the Kentish Weald at the junction of the River Medway and the River Eden. Despite being further away from Sevenoaks than Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells at a nine mile distance, it falls within the district of Sevenoaks.
The jewel in the crown of Penshurst is the ancestral home of the Sidney family, Penshurst Place and Gardens. It is around Penshurst Place the family grew up.
It has been owned by the Sidney family since 1552, it had been used as a hunting lodge by Henry VIII and later given to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce settlement from him. It was gifted by Henry VIII's son Edward VI to his loyal steward and tutor, Sir William Sidney.
In 1991, saw the current owner Philip Sidney, 2nd Viscount De L'Isle, who was the Lord-Lieutenant of Kent, continue his family's stewardship of Penshurst Place, with his wife Isobel and their two grown up children, Philip and Sophia. The pub in the village The Leicester Arms was once part of the Penshurst Estate, and owned by Sir William.
One of Sir William's two grandsons was Robert Sidney, the Viscount De L’isle, who was appointed the Earl of Leicester in 1618. It was shortly after this the pub The Porcupine, was renamed in his honour as The Leicester Arms.
But what was also named in his honour was Leicester Square in London. In 1636, Robert Sidney, 2nd Earl of Leicester, bought a large plot of land near Westminster in London. He had built a residence to match the Sidney’s prestige.
Leicester House was roughly twice the size of Penshurst. Paintings of the house are hanging in the Tapestry Room at Penshurst Place. The Empire cinema, which now occupies the site, gives no hint of its existence – but a trace of Robert’s project remains in its address, Leicester Square.

Kent has a number of iconic celebrity residents to boast, from movie legends to some of the most influential names in the music industry. One beloved celebrity couple living in the county has been truly embracing the Garden of England this summer.
Vic Reeves and Nancy Sorrell have called the rural village of Charing in Ashford home for some time now, and over the last few months the pair have explored all our county has to offer. Vic, real name James Roderick Moir, is best known for his comedic work such as his double act with Bob Mortimer, aptly named Reeves & Mortimer.
Meanwhile Nancy is a model, actress and television presenter born in Chigwell, Essex. The pair were married in January 2003 and have gone on to be parents to twin girls, born in May 2006.

Over the summer months, the family have taken to numerous Kent locations for some wonderful day trips out, with Nancy frequently taking to Instagram to share their adventures throughout the county.
Most recently, Nancy shared a snap of herself at the Oare Marshes Nature Reserve north of Faversham, a gorgeous area owned by the Kent Wildlife Trust. Her visit follows an exciting weekend for Faversham as the town saw their ever popular Hop Festival return after two years absence.
Deal and Sandwich were also paid a visit by the celebrity pair, with the model taking to Instagram once again to share snaps of herself, Vic and her daughter in the area. In the same week, the model shared that she had visited The Zetland Arms in Deal, taking to social media to say: “Lovely afternoon @thezetlandarms”.
Canterbury was the next spot the family explored, with Nancy sharing pictures from Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve as well as the city centre and the cathedral. Taking to Instagram once more, Nancy wrote: “Lovely day in Canterbury. Such a lovely week with Alice, Cam and cute Angus.”
The family also shared some wonderful images from their summer visit to Port Lympne Safari Park, with pictures of the whole family meeting many of the site's wildlife residents. In fact, Vic Reeves funded a giraffe house in the wildlife park, having opened the Vic Reeves Giraffe House back in 2005 thanks to funds he had raised through his appearances on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here and Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
Nancy also shared pictures from Deal Beach at the start of summer, simply saying: "Beautiful evening in #deal ". This a spot in Kent that the model has praised in the past, highlighting one restaurant in particular earlier in the year.

The headteacher of Weald of Kent Grammar School in Tonbridge has resigned after a blistering Ofsted report which raised pupils' fears about bullying. The school confirmed to KentLive today Elizabeth Bone had quit the job.
As we reported in July, senior deputy head Sophie Clark became acting head shortly before the summer holidays. The school said today Mrs Clark would remain as acting head while "trustees commence the recruitment process for a permanent headteacher".
It said: "Mrs Clark is working very closely with trustees and the rest of the senior leadership team to ensure there is continuing robust leadership during the period." Mrs Clark had taken the reins at the school on July 7 and two weeks before the end of the summer term.

It followed the damning Ofsted report which had rated Weald of Kent as "requires improvement" after its inspection. It said a "significant number (of pupils) are concerned about bullying" and "leaders' approach to tackling bullying is not sufficiently strategic or urgent".
Head Elizabeth Bone had told KentLive in early July the school, which has a campus in Sevenoaks, was appealing the rating by Ofsted and claimed it was not an "accurate reflection".
But this response prompted anger among some parents and even a former pupil, who said they backed some of Ofsted's findings. A letter from the school's trustees showed Mrs Bone, a former pupil of the school, was not in post soon after.
The chair of trustees Antonia Rubin had written to parents at the time, promising they would be making "positive changes in the light of the recent Ofsted report to ensure that every student feels happy and safe at school while achieving their full potential".
We reported at the time reported how Ofsted had said: "A significant proportion of pupils do not feel comfortable in talking to adults in school about bullying. This has resulted in pupils’ concerns about bullying going unnoticed by leaders."

FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio (WJW) – Police in Ohio say a driver threatened to shoot another driver because he did not use a turn signal.
The road rage incident occurred at about 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, in Fairview Park, a suburb of Cleveland.
According to police, the 24-year-old Cleveland man admitted to threatening the other driver. And although no firearms were found in his vehicle, the man was arrested after police learned he had several outstanding warrants.
The man was also cited for driving under suspension and for not having a license plate.
Earlier this year, another scary road rage incident was caught on video in Ohio. One driver tailed another in Columbus, driving erratically before pulling a gun and firing shots.
Road rage incidents involving a gun have risen every year since 2018, according to data published by Everytown Research & Policy in April. Everytown is a nonprofit group that advocates for gun control and reducing gun violence.
Road rage shootings grew so bad last year, “a person was shot and either injured or killed in a road rage incident every 17 hours, on average, during 2021,” Everytown wrote.
Sgt. Joe Albert of the Columbus Division of Police told Nexstar’s WCMH earlier this year that if you’re ever confronted with an erratic or angry driver, you should try and turn off the road and take another route. If the driver continues to follow you, Albert advised driving to the nearest police station. He advised against engaging with the angry driver. | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/no-turn-signal-driver-threatens-shooting/ | 2022-09-05T17:03:28Z | wspa.com | control | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/no-turn-signal-driver-threatens-shooting/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

A massive manhunt is underway in Saskatchewan, Canada after a series of deadly stabbings left 10 dead and another 15 hospitalized Sunday morning.
Officials there warn that the two suspects, who may have fled in a black SUV, should be considered armed and dangerous. The breadth of the attacks has stunned the largely rural communities about 200 miles north of Regina, the provincial capital, where the stabbings took place.

(NerdWallet) – California is on its way to banning the sale of new gas-powered cars in the state. The Advanced Clean Cars II regulations, approved Aug. 25 by the California Air Resources Board, would require all new cars, trucks and SUVs sold in California to be zero emissions by 2035.
While it’s a far cry from national reform, the California rule impacts the largest car-buying market in the U.S., and it’s already being adopted by some other states. Does that mean you’ll be forced to buy an electric vehicle, or EV? Nope. But the pressure is on for the auto industry.
What is the California rule?
Under the new regulations, California set benchmarks for new-vehicle sales starting with model year 2026, when 35% of new-car sales in the state have to be battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. Right now, more than 16% of new vehicles sold in California are zero-emissions or hybrid models, according to California regulators.
With that kind of head start in the state, Jessica Caldwell, executive director of insights at auto site Edmunds, believes automakers could meet the first benchmark. But realizing California’s goals also depends on improving infrastructure that supports more electric vehicles.
“Although California’s net zero emissions ruling might have been characterized as a rather aggressive goal when it was first introduced in 2020, automakers have long prepared for an electric future, and notable progress across the industry has been made since then,” Caldwell said in a news release. “If automakers can pick up production, sufficient investments are made in charging infrastructure and the power grid, and financial incentives can be made more available, this milestone should be achievable — if not surpassable.”
The standards tick up incrementally every year after 2026, requiring electric or hybrid vehicles to make up more than two-thirds of car sales by 2030 and 100% by 2035.
New standards would also be aimed at making zero-emissions vehicles more reliable and durable so that consumers actually want to buy an electric vehicle or hybrid instead of their favorite gas-powered models.
Before the new regulations can be enforced, the state will have to request a waiver from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, allowing it to set stricter rules than the federal government.
Don’t live in California? This could still be your future
California is known as a trendsetter when it comes to environmental protection. So, while these regulations are an outlier right now, they’re likely to be adopted in other states and supported at the federal level.
Seventeen states have adopted past zero-emissions vehicle standards set by California and could follow suit with these new rules. (A few already have, including Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and Washington.) These 18 states made up 40% of the market for new vehicles in 2021, according to a National Automobile Dealers Association report on the financial profile of new-car dealerships in the U.S.
The Inflation Reduction Act put a spotlight on the federal government’s priority to reduce carbon emissions. Initiatives funded by the act include incentives for green energy and electric vehicles. The new law, signed by President Joe Biden on Aug. 16, renewed a tax credit for consumers who buy qualifying new electric vehicles and added one for used-EV purchases. But the incentives come with a set of qualifications meant to encourage the auto industry to beef up its domestic supply chain, and most EVs on the market right now aren’t eligible.
Yes, you can keep your gas-powered car
Rules like the one in California apply specifically to automakers’ production of new cars. They don’t dictate what people can drive, nor do the current rules affect the sale of used gas-powered cars.
We’re also more than a decade away from the goal of seeing only electric models on every car lot. So, if you’re looking to buy a new car in the next few years, there’s still a lot to consider about whether it should be an EV.
Here are a few ideas to help you think through your next car purchase.
What car can you afford?
Cost remains the biggest factor for most people when buying a car, says Karl Brauer, executive analyst at ISeeCars.com. Whether you’re considering a new or used car, an electric or gas-powered model, make sure you know how much you can spend.
In July, the average price of an EV sold through a dealership was $62,893, according to Edmunds. That’s compared to an average of $47,198 for all vehicles that month.
Tax credits on electric vehicles might help bring that technology into your price range, but there are rules about which cars are eligible. As production ramps up, it’s likely that EV prices will come down. But that could still be years away.
On the other hand, as standards in California ramp up beginning in 2026, gas-powered cars will become scarcer there. That could raise prices on those new and used models, Brauer says. If you want to stick with a gas-powered model for a while still, he suggests timing that purchase sooner rather than later, if you can afford it.
“If there’s a thing to take away now, you should probably buy your traditional vehicle before 2026 because they’re going to only go up in price,” Brauer says.
What car fits your life?
If you’re thinking about switching to an EV, you’ll want to consider a few other factors, including how far you drive, whether you could charge it conveniently and what you’d use the car for.
When it comes to infrastructure for EVs, not all hometowns are created equal. If you live in Los Angeles, you might know of several charging stations nearby that you could use to keep your car powered for your daily commute. But that’s not yet the case everywhere.
How far you can drive on a single charge, as well as the variety of EVs available, will continue to improve over time, Caldwell says in a phone interview.
“We’re still in the early stages of adoption for electric vehicles,” Caldwell says. “EVs are going to become more mainstream. There’s going to be more infrastructure. I think that’s what regular people are going to notice.” | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/california-bet-big-on-electric-cars-should-you/ | 2022-09-05T17:06:14Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/california-bet-big-on-electric-cars-should-you/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The second week of the final Grand Slam of 2022 has begun. Here are all the key numbers and statistics from Day 7 of the US Open.
US Open Day 7: Coco Gauff, Caroline Garcia set quarterfinal clash | Ons Jabeur, Ajla Tomljanovic advance to last eight | Week 1 in quotes
Scores | Order of play | Draw
1 - Ons Jabeur continues to blaze a trail every time she hits a personal milestone: The Tunisian's first US Open quarterfinal is also a first for her country, and she is the first Arab woman to reach the last eight at Flushing Meadows. The last African woman to reach the US Open quarterfinals was South Africa's Amanda Coetzer in 1998.
5 - Years since Caroline Garcia's last (and only prior) Grand Slam quarterfinal, at Roland Garros 2017. The Frenchwoman is now on a 12-match winning streak since winning Cincinnati as a qualifier; she has also won 29 out of 33 matches since mid-June, including titles in Bad Homburg and Warsaw as well.

She defeats Zhang 7-5 7-5 to reach her first #USOpen quarterfinal, without dropping a single set so far!@CocoGauff 👏 pic.twitter.com/UlZMjZI873
18 - At 18 years old, Coco Gauff is the youngest US Open semifinalist since a 17-year-old Melanie Oudin in 2009. Gauff, the youngest player in the last 16, defeated 33-year-old Zhang Shuai, the oldest player in the last 16, 7-5, 7-5.
0-3 - The losing head-to-head records Ons Jabeur and Caroline Garcia faced against Veronika Kudermetova and Alison Riske-Amritraj respectively before defeating them for the first time on Day 7. Neither Jabeur nor Garcia had previously won a set against their fourth-round opponents, but came through 7-6(1), 6-4 and 6-4, 6-1 respectively to reach their first US Open quarterfinals.
3 - Out of four singles matches on Day 7, three reversed results from earlier this year, and two from August's North American hard-court swing. Alison Riske-Amritraj had beaten Caroline Garcia 6-4, 7-5 in the second round of Nottingham; Veronika Kudermetova had taken out Ons Jabeur 7-6(5), 6-2 in the San Jose quarterfinals; and Liudmila Samsonova had defeated Ajla Tomljanovic 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the second round of Washington.

— wta (@WTA) September 5, 2022
5-2 - First-set deficits overturned by Ons Jabeur and Ajla Tomljanovic. From 5-2 down against Veronika Kudermetova, Jabeur won 12 of the next 16 points to level at 5-5; and from 6-5 down, she won 11 of the next 12 points to take the set.
Meanwhile, Tomljanovic saved a total of eight set points to steal the first set from Liudmila Samsonova -- seven serving at 4-5 and one more in the tiebreak, before cruising to victory 7-6(8), 6-1.
0 - First-time Grand Slam quarterfinalists at this year's US Open. Liudmila Samsonova had been the only player in the last 16 who had not previously made a major quarterfinal. The last Grand Slam to feature no new quarterfinalists was the 2017 US Open.
0 - Times Caroline Garcia dropped serve against Alison Riske-Amritraj, saving all four break points she faced. Indeed, Garcia has only lost serve twice so far in the tournament -- both times against Bianca Andreescu in the third round.
3 - Grand Slam quarterfinals reached in the past 15 months by Ajla Tomljanovic. The Australian played her first major main draw at Wimbledon 2013, and reached the fourth round of a Slam for the first time on her Roland Garros debut in 2014 -- but that was the only time in her first 26 Grand Slam main draws that she made it beyond the second round. Tomljanovic snapped that streak to reach the Wimbledon 2021 quarterfinals, repeated her SW19 run this year, and has now made the last eight for the first time in New York. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2781713/us-open-day-7-by-the-numbers-jabeur-s-milestone-gauff-s-age-and-more | 2022-09-05T17:13:30Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2781713/us-open-day-7-by-the-numbers-jabeur-s-milestone-gauff-s-age-and-more | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

One of two men wounded in an exchange of gunfire with police in Dale City last week has died.
The shooting happened Sept. 1 around 7 p.m. in the 14700 block of Fox Glove Court, a townhouse community off Cloverdale Road.
The men shot were targets of the investigation into fentanyl distribution, said Prince William County police 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok. No officers were injured.
On Sunday, 19-year-old Jaiden Malik Carter died at an area hospital, Perok said. The 30-year-old man who was also wounded remained hospitalized Monday and is expected to survive. An 18-year-old man was also present during the shootout but was not injured.
Prince William County police Assistant Chief Jarad Phelps said the shooting happened during a multi-agency undercover operation involving Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
"It is not currently known if the rounds fired by police struck the men," Perok said.
Two Prince William and two Manassas city police detectives were involved in the exchange of gunfire.
At the direction of Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham and Manassas Police Chief Doug Keen, the regional Critical Incident Response Team was activated to conduct the criminal investigation into the officers’ actions during the incident, Perok said.
The Arlington County Police Department will lead the criminal investigation along with other members from agencies in the region serving on the team.
Once that investigation is complete, the matter will be reviewed by Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney Amy Ashworth "for determination of criminal liability regarding the actions by police." No agency involved in the shooting will be a part of the criminal investigation.
In addition to the independent criminal investigation, both involved agencies will conduct separate administrative investigations.
The detectives involved have been placed on routine paid leave as the investigations continue.
Police would like to talk to anyone who has information or witnessed the shooting, and they are asking residents in the area to check their surveillance cameras. | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/updated-woodbridge-man-19-dies-after-exchange-of-gunfire-with-police/article_c200ac24-2a5d-11ed-a68d-fb8fd1b284dd.html | 2022-09-05T17:18:16Z | insidenova.com | control | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/updated-woodbridge-man-19-dies-after-exchange-of-gunfire-with-police/article_c200ac24-2a5d-11ed-a68d-fb8fd1b284dd.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
UVALDE, Texas — Elsa Avila slid to her phone, terrified as she held the bleeding side of her abdomen and tried to stay calm for her students. In a text to her family that she meant to send to fellow Uvalde teachers, she wrote: “I’m shot.”
For the first time in 30 years, Avila will not be going back to school as classes resume Tuesday in the small, southeast Texas town. The start of school will look different for her, as for other survivors of the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in which 21 people died, with an emphasis on healing, both physically and mentally. Some have opted for virtual education, others for private school. Many will return to Uvalde school district campuses, though Robb Elementary itself will never reopen.
“I’m trying to make sense of everything,” Avila said in an August interview, “but it is never going to make sense.”
A scar down her torso brings her to tears as a permanent reminder of the horror she endured with her 16 students as they waited in their classroom for an hour for help while a gunman slaughtered 19 children and two teachers in two adjoining classrooms nearby.
Minutes before she felt the sharp pain of the bullet piercing her intestine and colon, Avila was motioning students away from the walls and windows and closer to her. A student lined up by the door for recess had just told her something was going on outside: People were running — and screaming. As she slammed the classroom door so the lock would catch, her students took their well-practiced lockdown positions.
Moments later, a gunman stormed into their fourth-grade wing and began spraying bullets before ultimately making his way into rooms 111 and 112.
In room 109, Avila repeatedly texted for help, according to messages reviewed by The Associated Press. First at 11:35 a.m. in the text to her family that she says was meant for the teacher group chat. Then at 11:38 in a message to the school’s vice principal. At 11:45, she responded to a text from the school's counselor asking if her classroom was on lockdown with: “I’m shot, send help.” And when the principal assured her that help was on the way, she replied simply: “Help.”
“Yes they are coming,” the principal wrote back at 11:48 a.m.
It's unclear whether her messages were relayed to police. District officials did not respond to requests for comment on actions taken to communicate with law enforcement on May 24, and an attorney for then-Principal Mandy Gutierrez was not available for comment.
According to a legislative committee’s report that described a botched police response, nearly 400 local, state and federal officers stood in the hallway of the fourth-grade wing or outside the building for 77 minutes before some finally entered the adjoining classrooms and killed the gunman. Lawmakers also found a relaxed approach to lockdowns — which happened often — and security concerns, including issues with door locks. State and federal investigations into the shooting are ongoing.
The district is working to complete new security measures, and the school board in August fired the district's police chief, Pete Arredondo. Residents say it remains unclear how — or even if — trust between the community and officials can be rebuilt, even as some call for more accountability, better police training and stricter gun safety laws.
Avila recalls hearing the ominous bursts of rapid fire, then silence, then the voices of officers in the hallway yelling, “Crossfire!” and later more officers standing nearby.
“But still nobody came to help us,” she said.
As Avila lay motionless, unable to speak loud enough to be heard, some of her students nudged and shook her. She wished for the strength to tell them she was still alive.
A light flashed into their window, but nobody identified themselves. Scared it might be the gunman, the students moved away.
“The little girls closest to me kept patting me and telling me, ‘It’s going to be OK miss. We love you miss,’” Avila said.
Finally, at 12:33 p.m. a window in her classroom broke. Officers arrived to evacuate her students — the last to be let out in the area, according to Avila.
With her remaining strength, Avila pulled herself up and helped usher students onto chairs and tables and through the window. Then, clutching her side, she told an officer she was too weak to jump herself. He came through the window to pull her out.
“I never saw my kids again. I know they climbed out the window and I could just hear them telling them, `Run, run, run!’” Avila said.
She remembers being taken to the airport, where a helicopter flew her to a San Antonio hospital. She was in and out of care until June 18.
Avila later learned that a student in her class was wounded by shrapnel to the nose and mouth but had since been released from medical care. She said other students helped their injured classmates until officers arrived.
“I am very proud of them because they were able to stay calm for a whole hour that we were in there terrified,” Avila said.
As her students prepare to return to school for the first time since that traumatic day, Avila is on the way to recovery, walking up to eight minutes at a time on the treadmill in physical therapy and going to counseling. She looks forward to teaching again someday.
Outside of a shuttered Robb Elementary, a memorial for the people killed overflows at the entrance gate. Teachers from across Texas stopped by this summer to pay their respects and reflect on what they would do in the same situation.
“If I survive, I have to make sure they survive first,” said Olga Oglin, an educator of 23 years from Dallas, her voice breaking.
“Whatever happens to a student at our school, it just happens to one of my kids,” Olgin said, adding that as the person to greet parents, students and staff at the door in the mornings, she likely would be the first person shot.
Ofelia Loyola, who teaches elementary school in San Antonio, visited with her husband, middle school teacher Raul Loyola. She was baffled at the delayed response from law enforcement, as seen on security and police video.
“They are all kids. It doesn’t matter how old they are, you protect them,” she said.
Last week, Avila and several of her students met for the end-of-year party they were unable to have in May. They played in the pool at a country club and she gave them each a bracelet with a little cross to remind them that “God was with us that day and they are not alone,” she said.
“We always talked about being kind, being respectful, taking care of each other — and they were able to do that on that day,” Avila said.
“They took care of each other. They took care of me.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/16-uvalde-fourth-graders-waited-an-hour-with-wounded-teacher/article_98421e48-2d34-11ed-a073-2f7b27b8b0fa.html | 2022-09-05T17:22:09Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/16-uvalde-fourth-graders-waited-an-hour-with-wounded-teacher/article_98421e48-2d34-11ed-a073-2f7b27b8b0fa.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A library where Rosa Parks, John Lewis and other civil rights leaders forged strategies that would change the world is mired in controversy over who gets to tell its story.
On one side are preservationists who want to turn the Highlander Folk School library into a historic site. On the other, political organizers say Highlander never stopped pursuing social justice and should recover the building as a stolen part of its legacy.
Enraged by race-mixing at the Highlander Folk School in the 1950s, Tennessee officials confiscated the property and auctioned it off in pieces in a vain attempt at stifling the civil rights movement. The library is one of the few remaining campus buildings.
But Highlander as an institution never really closed — it just moved locations. It lives on today as the Highlander Research and Education Center, whose leaders are rallying opposition to listing the library in the National Register of Historic Places, saying they were frozen out of the process.
David Currey, a board member at the Tennessee Preservation Trust, has managed the library's restoration since the trust bought the site in 2014, saving it from redevelopment. He said his goal has always been to preserve the site so that visitors can learn about the momentous events that happened there in the first half of the 20th Century. There would be few books or movies if stories could only be told by those directly involved, he said, and “Nobody owns the past.”
“It’s a myth that they are best suited to tell our history,” said Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, Highlander's first Black co-director. “People who made that history are still alive.”
A letter Highlander sent to the historic registry says the Trust is not fit to serve as stewards, stoking racial tension over a place that promoted a shared struggle for interracial harmony.
“Approving the nomination of the Highlander Folk School Library in its current form will allow an elite, white-led institution to coopt and control the historical narrative of a site most significant for its work with Black, multiracial, poor and working-class communities," states the letter, which also accuses trust members of having glorified the Confederacy.
Currey, who is white, frames the issue much differently. He says the trust stepped in to preserve the property when no one else would, and plans to celebrate Highlander's past accomplishments.
“Our cause from the start has been an honorable endeavor to recognize and pay tribute to the history and legacy of the early 20th century’s social justice movements in Tennessee, including labor struggles and Civil Rights, and its leaders,” Currey wrote in an email to the AP.
Founded in the 1930s as a center for union organizing, the school in Monteagle, Tenn., counted first lady Eleanor Roosevelt among its early supporters. Protest music was integral to its work, with Woody Guthrie leading singalongs to inspire future demonstrations, and Pete Seeger workshopping “We Shall Overcome” into an anthem sung by activists ever since.
Highlander's co-founder and longtime leader, Myles Horton, a white man, created a space almost unique in the Jim Crow South, where activists white and Black could build and strengthen alliances.
Parks attended a Highlander workshop a few months before refusing to move to the back of a segregated city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. "It was one of the few times in my life up to that point when I did not feel hostility from white people,” she wrote in her autobiography.
Lewis had a similar experience, long before he became a civil rights icon and congressman. Highlander “was the first time in my life that I saw black people and white people not just sitting down together at long tables for shared meals, but also cleaning up together afterward, doing the dishes together, gathering together late into the night in deep discussion,” he wrote in a memoir.
The school's success made it a target — labeled communist, investigated by the FBI and raided by the state of Tennessee, which eventually revoked its charter. Original buildings were destroyed. The library was converted to a single-family home.
But Highlander didn't disappear — it just moved three hours northeast to New Market, Tenn., near Knoxville.
“The property was stolen from us because it was bringing Black and white people together to preserve democracy,” Henderson said. “The land should be repatriated, back to the Highlander Folk School, which is now the Highlander Research and Education Center.”
The trust has spent seven years restoring the library to its original form. Local Grundy County donors contributed most of the funding, but Currey said he’s also spent thousands of his own dollars. His vision is to spin off a nonprofit, separate from the trust, that would own and operate the library as both a historic site and community resource, and Highlander could run a program explaining its ongoing justice and education work.
Henderson said she's grateful the trust stepped in when the center couldn’t afford to, but she doesn’t see the old Folk School as separate from Highlander now, which is celebrating 90 years of organizing with a homecoming later this month. She said the center recently offered to buy the library from the trust, but got no definitive answer.
“If there’s going to be a transfer, why wouldn’t it be to Highlander?” Co-director Allyn Maxfield-Steele asked. If Highlander controlled the building, it would develop a plan for its use together with “folks on the ground in Grundy County,” he said.
Currey still hopes the trust and center can work together to promote the legacy of a building both organizations see as incredibly important.
Getting listed in the National Registry would open up new sources of funding in a state that doesn’t provide tax incentives for historic preservation, Currey said. He worries that the controversy over Highlander will make preservationists less likely to take on a similar project in the future.
“It’s already so difficult in Tennessee to save some of our historic resources,” Currey said. “This may be one of the most high-profile civil rights sites — as John Lewis told me — in the nation.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/fight-over-future-of-library-that-sparked-civil-rights-ideas/article_bbab56a8-2c60-11ed-8caf-8bae2feafe55.html | 2022-09-05T17:22:09Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/fight-over-future-of-library-that-sparked-civil-rights-ideas/article_bbab56a8-2c60-11ed-8caf-8bae2feafe55.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
When Emma Corrin wrapped filming on The Crown, the 26-year-old actor wasn’t exactly sure what they wanted to do next.
“The Crown was so special because I was very lucky and it was a huge break, but I really cared about it and it was such a challenge and I felt so invested in it,” Corrin tells Vanity Fair. “And then searching for the next thing, it was a hard one to top because I wanted to feel that same feeling of excitement.”
They finally found it when they read the script for a new adaptation of Lady Chatterley’s Lover — specifically in a scene that would see their character and her new lover running through a rainstorm, completely naked. “I felt so in awe of it, and also of Connie's whole journey with her sexuality and her own access to pleasure and her body,” says Corrin, who is at the Telluride Film Festival this weekend for the world premiere of the film.
The adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's novel, helmed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, stars Corrin as Lady Constance "Connie" Chatterley, an upper class woman whose husband (Matthew Duckett), injured in the war, can no longer give her children — or any of the physical attention she craves. She soon embarks on an affair with the estate's gameskeeper (Jack O'Connell), leading to her sexual awakening.
The novel, which was first published in 1928, was considered scandalous — and banned in many countries — for both its sexual content and for the fact that a pair from such different social circles would have an affair. Clermont-Tonnerre’s adaptation, which will be released by Netflix, embraces the sexual nature of this story with uninhibited and often tender sex scenes, along with that naked running in the rain.
Corrin, who will next head to Toronto for the premiere of their next film, My Policeman, has been going through their own awakening of sorts, coming out as nonbinary in 2021, and changing their pronounds to she/they (they became Vogue’s first nonbinary cover star in the August issue). At Telluride, they spoke to Vanity Fair about preparing for those sex scenes, diving in for two more period pieces (that both have love triangles!) and if the Hollywood establishment feels stifling to them as a nonbinary actor.
What were those conversations like between you and Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre about the sexual scenes in this film?
It was daunting, and it was my first time doing any nudity, or sex scenes to that extent. And obviously it's such a huge part of the film. I felt very buoyed by the fact that I had met Laure, loved her, trusted her, knew that she would do it well. And also that Connie's journey with sexuality, the sex scenes would never feel gratuitous and it would always feel justified.
We worked with an amazing intimacy coordinator, and it taught me so much about how phenomenal they are and how important it was. We worked with Ita O'Brien who also did Normal People. We spent two weeks rehearsing. It meant that Jack and I could get to know each other as friends and become comfortable. We sort of went through every scene and broke it down, like a dance, like with the stunts. It made everyone aware of our limits of where we can be touched or don't feel comfortable being touched. Once you have all these boundaries established and made clear, and once you mark through all the beats, then everyone knows where they're at, and so then you can have fun and freedom within it, which was so important for this because those scenes are so liberating for both of them. | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/awards-insider-emma-corrin-interview-sex-scenes-in-lady-chatterleys-lover | 2022-09-05T17:22:12Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/awards-insider-emma-corrin-interview-sex-scenes-in-lady-chatterleys-lover | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
States around the country are making it easier for new moms to keep Medicaid in the year after childbirth, a time when depression and other health problems can develop.
But tight government budgets and the program’s low reimbursement may ultimately limit this push or make it hard for women with extended coverage to find doctors.
“A lot of things have changed since the pandemic,” said Venessa Aiken, a new mom in Orlando, Florida. “A lot of places no longer take Medicaid or if they do, you have to wait like two months before you can be seen.”
Many women enroll in government-funded Medicaid health insurance when they become pregnant, because qualifying income levels are higher than for women who aren’t pregnant. The federal government requires states to maintain that coverage for 60 days postpartum, or after the baby arrives. After that, moms in many states lose the coverage unless their income levels are extremely low.
Since the spring, 23 states and Washington, D.C., have said they will extend that coverage for a full year postpartum. Several more states are planning to do so.
These extensions will start helping people after the federal government’s COVID-19 public health emergency ends because states are required to keep patients enrolled during the emergency. It currently will extend at least into early next year.
The push to extend coverage has grown to include both conservative and liberal-leaning states. It also is endorsed by President Joe Biden’s administration as a way to improve equality: Postpartum mortality rates can be much higher among Black and American-Indian or Alaskan Native populations.
“There’s no reason why we should stop before we have every particular mother and baby (covered),” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told The Associated Press. “Why wouldn’t you want to provide to a new mother and new baby a full year’s peace of mind?”
The state and federally funded Medicaid program covers prenatal doctor visits for moms and about 42% of births in the U.S.
Having that coverage eliminated some stress for Maureen Forman, who said she was already concerned about her pregnancy when she gave birth to her son last year.
“It was really nice not to worry,” the 41-year-old Bloomington, Indiana, resident said. “I just knew it was all going to be covered. I wish other pregnant women had that same experience.”
Care providers and researchers say that coverage should extend well beyond 60 days after the baby arrives.
They note that many new moms need more time to squeeze in doctor visits while they recover from childbirth and care for a newborn. Some also are juggling a return to work while doing this.
A coverage extension “matches the reality of the postpartum period,” said Usha Ranji of the non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation, which researches health care issues.
Issues like postpartum depression can develop months later, and some mothers might have lingering health problems that need care. Some also may need continued substance abuse treatment.
Those who lose coverage may not be able to afford another option like private insurance.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated last year that about 45% of women on Medicaid will become uninsured after the 60-day postpartum coverage period ends.
While nearly half the states have expanded the coverage, health economist Joe Antos said he thinks others will hesitate to add the expense to their budgets.
Mississippi lawmakers scuttled a bill earlier this year that would have extended postpartum coverage partly over concerns about expanding the program.
The coverage extensions, which last five years, are backed partly by funding from the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act. States will have to pay some of the bill.
If the economy slides into a recession, “state enthusiasm for further expansions will also drop off as their own budgets tighten up,” said Antos, who’s with the American Enterprise Institute.
Extending the coverage does not automatically guarantee better care, because finding doctors can be difficult.
Jennie Joseph says the idea of trying to get a referral to a mental health specialist for a Medicaid patient is “laughable.” The Florida midwife said patients first have to find a doctor to provide that referral and then land a therapist who accepts Medicaid, which is even harder.
Joseph is the founder of Commonsense Childbirth, a nonprofit that operates a birth center and clinic in central Florida. She said low Medicaid reimbursement rates and payment hassles are challenging for care providers. She said the government program pays her clinic less than half of what a commercial insurer would pay for a prenatal visit. Medicaid reimbursement for postpartum visits is even less, as little as $34.
“It’s all about trying to get your claim paid, and they are more readily denied than they are paid,” she said. “Because of that, providers don’t make postpartum appointments for these mothers.”
Aiken, the Orlando newborn mom, gave birth at Joseph’s center in July. She has had a hard time getting a call back from her primary care doctor’s office, and she’s worried about getting a referral to a specialist.
“It’s pretty confusing,” she said. “Who do you turn to when you don’t have a (primary care physician)?”
Becerra said he knows that doctor access must be improved. But he sees the coverage extensions as a step toward making things better.
“Let’s get people through the door and let’s continue to work to increase the number of quality caregivers who will be there to meet those folks,” he said. “But today we have hundreds of thousands of women and babies who can’t even walk through the door.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/medicaid-extensions-for-new-moms-grow-may-run-into-limits/article_8cb0b13a-2d24-11ed-b3d9-37aa08a64aa9.html | 2022-09-05T17:22:12Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/medicaid-extensions-for-new-moms-grow-may-run-into-limits/article_8cb0b13a-2d24-11ed-b3d9-37aa08a64aa9.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
