Jaden Thomas runs for 370 yards, 4 TDs as Windsor football survives Fort Collins in thriller
WINDSOR – Jaden Thomas couldn’t be stopped Thursday night.
The Windsor High School senior ran for 370 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Wizards to a huge win over Fort Collins in a back-and-forth game that wasn’t decided until the final play, when Windsor defender Michael Munn batted a pass away intended for Nicky McGuire.
The 5-foot-8, 175-pound Thomas was reading the blocks of his guards and tackles and deciding whether or not to cut inside of them or out on each of his big runs. Both worked, giving him plenty of room to make his first cut. Then he used his speed and balance, breaking tackles as he ran away from the defense on touchdown runs of 31, 7, 28 and 9 yards.
“I’ve just got to give a big thanks to the O-line,” Thomas said. “The boys put holes up; I was just reading them. It’s on them.”
Longtime Windsor coach Chris Jones said he had running backs finish with 275 and 295 yards in a single game before but this was the first time one has gone for more than 300.
Thomas surpassed that mark Thursday.
Thomas ran for 180 yards and one touchdown in Windsor’s opening game, a 35-34 loss at Mead. He added 205 total yards and another score in a 27-6 Week 2 win at Longmont.
Thomas’ last TD on Thursday came with 2:10 left and provided the winning margin for Windsor (2-1) in the first of two-back-to-back home games against Fort Collins schools. The Wizards will host Fossil Ridge at 7 p.m, Friday, Sept. 16.
"That was awesome, everyone coming together at the end," Thomas said. This stadium's loud,. That was an awesome to see everybody here. Huge crowd, great victory."
Jaziah Elmore ran for two touchdowns for Fort Collins (1-2), which had an apparent tying touchdown pass in the final minute negated by a holding penalty in the backfield. A pass-interference call against Windsor on a fourth-down play gave the Lambkins one last chance with three seconds remaining, and quarterback EZ Campos’ pass to McGuire was on target.
Munn was right there in coverage, though, batting the ball away from the receiver as his teammates began celebrating the win.
"That was awesome, everyone coming together at the end," Thomas said. "This stadium's loud,. That was an awesome to see everybody here. Huge crowd, great victory.
Lead went back and forth and back again
There were three lead changes and four ties in a game that neither team ever led by more than a touchdown.
Fort Collins struck first, capping its opening drive with the first of Elmore’s two 1-yard touchdown runs. Windsor responded with Thomas’ first two TDs, tying the game on the first and taking a 14-7 lead on the second.
A 13-yard touchdown run by Griffin Daknis, the Lambkins’ starting quarterback, tied it 14-14. Jones’ third TD run put the Wizards back on top with 4:59 remaining in the third quarter, only to have the Lambkins tie it up again on Elmore’s second TD with 10:47 left in the game.

Fort Collins’ Jackson Barron blocked a 33-yard field-goal attempt by Windsor’s Gavyn Helm with 4:29 remaining, giving the Lambkins the ball at their own 43-yard line with plenty of time to drive for a winning score.
Instead, Campos was sacked by Windsor’s Brock Paquet and Colton Pieper two plays later and fumbled. Grayson Lewis recovered at the Fort Collins’ 34-yard line, setting Windsor up for Thomas’ winning touchdown run with 2:10 remaining.
Windsor overcomes a dozen defensive penalties
Every time it looked like the Windsor defense would make an important stop, they committed penalties that kept Fort Collins’ drives alive.
Not just with that pass-interference penalty on a fourth-down play in the final seconds.
But also with two earlier pass-interference penalties on third-and-long plays, a facemask call and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
“We had like 12 penalties on (defense), so we have some things to work on,” Jones said.

Timnath fell to 0-3 after losing 21-3 to visiting Prospect Academy.
The Cubs will host Poudre School District's other new high school, Wellington, at 7 p.m. next Friday (Sept. 16) as the schools renew their rivalry. Wellington was 1-1 heading into a home game at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9 against Sterling (0-2).

Dubai: Virat Kohli has de-constructed his mental make-up during the past three years and perhaps that serene smile coupled with a kiss to his wedding ring after his much awaited 71st international hundred, said it all.
1,020 days was a really long wait. He waited and along with him, India waited.
And once that moment arrived, there was a deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction associated with an achievement by a content man. Someone who is very assured of his craft and in a happy place.
There was no clenching of teeth, no signs of "fake aggression" (he himself admitted it few days back) and no cuss words.
"Last two-and-a-half years have taught me a lot. I am going to turn 34 in a month. So those angry celebrations are a thing of the past," a smiling Kohli said during the innings break of India's last Asia Cup match against Afghanistan.
Kohli on Thursday smashed 122 not out off 61 balls to get his maiden T20 hundred and help India register a huge 101-run win over Afghanistan in the inconsequential Asia Cup match here.
He had taken a month-long break before Asia Cup to focus on his mental health and found that he didn't make any technical changes but perhaps could never really comprehend the cobwebs in his mind.
"I have had many suggestions, lot of advice has come my way; people were telling me I was doing this wrong, that wrong, I picked out all the videos from the best time I had; same initial movement, same approach towards the ball and it was just what was happening inside my head I wasn't able to explain it to anyone.
"At the end of the day, you know as an individual where you stand, people will have their opinions but they cannot feel what you are feeling."
'60s were touted as failures'
Kohli had always set lofty standards for himself but despite his 26 half-centuries in 83 innings across formats (that's one 50 plus score in every 3.19 innings), it didn't satiate the appetite of Indians, who were so used to switching on the TV remote and find Kohli race to another ton.
"(Today) Innings was the build of the last few games, I batted out of my skin to be honest and I surprised myself. What surprised me was my 60s became failures; quite shocking for me, batting pretty well and contributing but doesn't seem to be enough," said Kohli after the win.
Kohli reached the elusive three-figure mark after almost three years, albeit in a format "he least expected to".
His 71st hundred also puts him alongside the great Ricky Ponting in the list of most centuries. Sachin Tendulkar is still way ahead with 100 international tons.
"Actually I was shocked. This is the last format I thought. It was an accumulation of a lot of things. The team has been open and helpful."
Kohli credited his actress-wife Anushka Sharma for standing behind him like a rock during the turbulent times.
"I know there was a lot of stuff going outside. And I kissed my ring. You see me standing here because one person has put things in perspective for me. That's Anushka. This hundred is for her and for our little daughter Vamika as well.
"When you have someone next to you having conversations putting things in perspective, like Anushka has been... when I came back I was not desperate. Six weeks off I was refreshed. I realised how tired I was.
"Competitiveness doesn't allow it, but this break allowed me enjoy the game again," he said referring to his one-month break.
By his own admission, it was for the first time in 10 years that Kohli had not held his bat for a month.
"Time away from the game gave me a good chance to sit back and observe a lot of things about me. I mentioned one special person - Anushka - who stood by me through these tough times and I mentioned her as she has seen the absolute raw side of me throughout all these months," he said. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/cricket/2022/09/09/this-hundred-is-for-anushka-and-vamika-kohli-after-ending-century-drought.html | 2022-09-09T07:06:21Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/cricket/2022/09/09/this-hundred-is-for-anushka-and-vamika-kohli-after-ending-century-drought.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Research Shows How Online Hate Speech Rises With Heatwaves, Extreme Weather
Share
The climate crisis is a story framed in numbers: the planet is changing in unprecedented ways as we surpass all tipping points of redemption. But as glaciers melt and heat waves turn maps red and orange, there is another disconcerting social shift playing out. Extreme weather events may also be influencing the already staggering levels of hate speech that the internet is awash with.
To put it simply, the climate crisis may be impacting instances of hate and online aggression more than we realize. According to a recent study, heat waves and extreme colds have the potential to reorient our individual behaviors, making people impatient and hostile online.
“For centuries, researchers have grappled with the question of how climate conditions affect human behavior and societal stability. Now, with ongoing climate change, it is more important than ever,” wrote Leonie Wenz, working group leader at the Potsdam Institute who led the study. Wenz, along with other researchers, looked at an understudied trial: the climate crisis, mental health, and online hate speech. Their work was published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health last week, documenting the fluctuations in online hate with the severity of a human-made crisis.
“Our results highlight online hate speech as a new impact channel through which climate change can affect overall societal cohesion and people’s mental health,” Wenz noted, and that “hate expressed online could increase under future global warming.”
The crisis had already begun to rupture an individual and collective emotional well-being. Extreme weather events are begetting a form of “eco-anxiety,” as people feel grief and helplessness and anxiety over the loss of their homes. This is in addition to research illustrating the impact of extreme weather events — like rising temperature — on gender-based violence and conflict in the real world. At the same time, we know online hate speech with its incremental rise against people from marginalized identities is also extracting a mental health burden from the same community. Think of this as a Venn diagram. The three circles of mental health, climate crisis, and online hate speech overlap to signal a triple bind for people from marginalized locations.
In their study, the researchers looked at four billion geolocated tweets posted from across 773 U.S. cities between 2014 and 2020. There is a certain “Goldilocks zone” of human thermal comfort — one which is not too toasty or not too cold — that decides our mood, physical comfort, and behavior. For the purpose of their research, the scientists zoomed in on the bracket of 12-21°C as the feel-good zone. On extremely cold days, when the temperatures ranged from -6ºC to -3ºC, hate tweets were found to have increased by 12.5%. On the other hand, when temperatures rose to somewhere between 42ºC to 45ºC (which was most of India in June this year), hate speech rose by 22% online.

What Will Protect People From Hate Crimes in the Metaverse?
The patterns of online hate defied income levels or geography. “Even in high-income areas where people can afford air conditioning and other heat mitigation options, we observe an increase in hate speech on extremely hot days,” said Anders Levermann, co-author of the study.
The data speaks to the limitations of people to adapt to varying temperatures, which are increasingly becoming the norm with the climate crisis. One reason for rising hate tweets is people are accustomed to living in certain temperatures, and misbehavior rises when, let’s say, someone living in a hot-dry region suddenly experiences severe humidity.
The current research wasn’t able to dissect the data to reveal any variations depending on socioeconomic differences, religion, race, or political affiliations — because “cities are never perfectly homogenous,” the researchers argued. In other words, the senders of hate tweets weren’t a homogenous group too. But the receivers of hate were almost perfectly defined: the people who are already vulnerable to hate speech, including LGBTQI+ persons, or Black and Hispanic people in the U.S., are the same group bearing the brunt of weather-related hostility.
More worryingly, hate speech online then stands out as a “potential channel through which temperature alters interpersonal conflict and societal aggression.”
The Bengaluru floods are a good case study of this. The city found itself beleaguered with water — the handiwork of the elite and corporate interests to erect concrete and steel buildings inside valleys and over wetlands. But some sections online rushed to blame migrant workers and poor residents, whose homes in the form of informal infrastructure and slums are underwater. The argument went that they were “outsiders” who didn’t belong in the city, and had no right to critique the capitalistic malarkey that has played out in the form of concretization of land, erasure of natural ecosystems, and profit-making.
Twitter erupted with debasing and inhuman hashtags, hate speech that betrayed both an ignorance and entitlement fed wholly by structural privilege.
The aggression doesn’t fully mask the astonishing reality. “The origins of flood risk are social—inseparable from the history and politics of land and housing,” wrote Malini Ranganathan. “Poorer residents are not only vulnerable to extreme weather, but also continue to be ensnared by a double-edged sword: a nexus between real estate developers, landowners, and various agents of the state. This nexus makes settlement possible for poorer and lower-middle-class groups without access to planned housing; at the same time, it can be exploitative and dangerous… For these residents, [the] risk is a multidimensional and normalized part of their existence.”
This existence then becomes subject to displacement, loss of income and opportunities, poor mental health, and even hate as a crisis engineered due to human greed leaves the city battered.
A hidden impact of the ecological crisis could also be then measured by looking at people’s mental health, and how it changes with growing instances of environmental catastrophes. The researchers concluded “that curbing emissions very rapidly and drastically will not only benefit the outer world. Protecting our climate from excessive global warming is also critical to our mental health.”
The climate crisis is playing out in a new world where people live two lives, online and offline. Here, inequality is reproduced twice: once through structural oppression in the form of poor mental health and lack of access to social welfare, and then again online where people are ostracized and cast away as “outsiders.” | https://theswaddle.com/research-shows-how-online-hate-speech-rises-with-heatwaves-extreme-weather/ | 2022-09-09T07:29:19Z | theswaddle.com | control | https://theswaddle.com/research-shows-how-online-hate-speech-rises-with-heatwaves-extreme-weather/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Why Romances, Heartbreaks May Impact Our Mental Health Less Than We Think
Share
“Tadap tadap ke iss dil se aah nikalti rahi… Lut gaye hum teri mohabbat mein…” — in the aftermath of heartbreaks, many of us have listened to these lines from a famous Bollywood album on loop. It describes being so emotionally wrecked upon being broken up, that the estranged lover feels as though his life has been destroyed. The lyrics might validate one’s emotional state immediately following a breakup, but over time, the intensity of emotions conveyed by them, can decline rather drastically.
According to a new study, major relationship events — entering into a committed relationship, getting married, or separating from one’s long-term partner — impacts our mental health less than we might think. This isn’t to invalidate the emotional turmoil — or even euphoria — that these events can trigger. What it suggests, instead, is that people often tend to overestimate just how much of a difference it’ll make to their lives.
The findings force us to rethink how positive relationship events — like marriages — are made out to be a big deal when, at the end of the day, we’re probably expecting them to bring more joy than they ever will. “Nearly everyone would intuitively agree that romantic relationships greatly affect how we feel… In the long run, they affect our wellbeing much less than one would intuitively assume,” noted first author Eva Asselmann, a professor of differential and personality psychology at the Health and Medical University in Potsdam, Germany.
Published in the journal Emotion, the study found that changes in our emotional wellbeing “are most pronounced for happiness and sadness at the time of the event, and bounce back in the long run.”

Break‑Ups Cause Men More Heartache Than Women, Suggests Internet Behavior Study
The study’s findings are based on data from a nationally-representative household panel study from Germany — including more than 30,000 people — that had begun in 1984. As part of this, participants were quizzed annually about major relationship events, life satisfaction, and the variety of emotions they had experienced in the past year.
The researchers found that between 2007 and 2019 — close to 4,500 participants had moved in with a partner, more than 3,500 got married while 3,500 others separated from their partners, and a little over 1,000 participants got divorced. For the present study, they assessed these individuals’ levels of happiness, sadness, anxiety, and anger — five years before and five years after the major relationship events in their lives.
Summing up the findings, Asselmann states, “[W]ellbeing changes due to major romantic relationship events –like a marriage or [a] breakup — are only transient… These changes were most pronounced at the time of the event and attenuated in the long run, so th[en] people ended up with similar wellbeing levels five years after vs. five years before the event… Other factors — like how we behave and treat each other in everyday life — might be much more important for enduring happiness and satisfaction in and beyond romantic relationships.”
Interestingly, the researchers found that major relationship events themselves aren’t as responsible for changes in our emotional wellbeing as we might assume either. Basically, say in terms of getting married or moving in with one’s partner, the positive changes in people’s wellbeing began in the years leading up to it. Similarly, for those getting divorced or separated from their partners, their wellbeing began to dip in the years prior.
Unfortunately, what the researchers also found was that, in general, the intensity of negative feelings one experiences in the course of relationships, is stronger than their positive counterparts. One of the study’s main takeaways is positive, though — experiencing less pain than expected in the aftermath of a breakup certainly isn’t a bad thing. However, feeling less joy than one possibly hoped for upon getting married, can induce dejection.

Why It Can Be Harder to Get Over Almost‑Relationships Than Actual Ones
Commenting on the applications the findings could potentially have, then, Asselmann notes, “Targeted interventions could be useful to promote happiness beyond the first year of marriage or to screen for serious mental health impairments shortly after a breakup.”
As the next step, Asselmann believes it might be interesting to track how the impact of major relationship events on people’s wellbeing might differ across people who experience these events repeatedly, compared to those experiencing them for the first time — for instance, one getting broken up with for the first time, versus one who has gone through many breakups. Whether contextual factors like the number of children a couple might share has any bearing — and if so, how much — on their mental health, would also be an interesting question to explore, according to Asselmann.
This also brings up the question: do people’s cultural identities also determine the impact of major relationship events on their wellbeing? In the case of divorces, for example, the stigma in India might be far greater than, say, in the U.S. Even within India, perhaps, the stigma might vary across people’s socio-economic spectrum — influencing the intensity, or even the duration, of their suffering. Not only that, is it possible that a person who is already in the throes of depression, or one who generally struggles with emotional regulation, would experience a stronger, more prolonged impact?
While investigating the impact of contextual factors, perhaps, future research can delve into this too. If not for the sake of a better cultural understanding of human behavior, then for the sake of assessing how to target mental health interventions, at the very least. | https://theswaddle.com/why-romances-heartbreaks-may-impact-our-mental-health-less-than-we-think/ | 2022-09-09T07:29:26Z | theswaddle.com | control | https://theswaddle.com/why-romances-heartbreaks-may-impact-our-mental-health-less-than-we-think/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Today (September 9), the nation mourns the tragic loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Throughout Kent, a number of touching tributes have poured in from across the county in her honour.
Over the next 10 days, the country will mourn the loss of the nation's longest-reigning monarch, which will end with a state funeral. Intricate plans have been put together in the event of Her Majesty's passing, codenamed operation London Bridge.
These plans will see a great deal of change to events that are held, where we shop and what appears on the TV. On the day of The Queen's funeral, a bank holiday will take place, as businesses across the nation will shut for the day or alter their operating hours.

Below are all of the things that are set to be closed or cancelled over the coming days and weeks. Be sure to check back regularly for live updates on these cancellations and closures.

BBC Proms postponed
Following the very sad news of the death of Her Majesty The Queen, as a mark of respect we will not be going ahead with Prom 71 on Friday 9 September, or the Last Night of the Proms on Saturday 10 September.
— BBC Proms (@bbcproms) September 8, 2022
Overview for television
Anyone tuning into the TV today is sure to have noticed changes to the regularly schedueled programming, as well as the apparel of on-screen presenters. When news of the Queen's poor health emerged on Thursday, the BBC cleared its scheduled programming and presenters including Huw Edwards all changed into black outfits.
Coverage of the sad news aired on BBC One, with tributes flooding in as well as footage of mourners outside Buckingham Palace. Her portrait displayed on TV along with the national anthem - as happened when Princess Diana tragically died in 1997.
The BBC will also suspend all comedy programming during the 12-day period of national mourning. Other channels are not required to interrupt regular scheduling, but many have decided they will to honour the monarch.
From 5pm onwards, ITV interrupted their usual shows for an ITV News Special on the Queen - meaning Emmerdale was scrapped. Channel 4 also cancelled their scheduled programming, including Katie Price's documentary, and replaced it with extended news coverage.
Overview for football
As part of Operation London Bridge, all sporting events are to be cancelled on the day of national mourning, meaning football games set for this date are likely to be postponed. The EFL has since confirmed that its fixtures for this evening have been postponed.
In their official statement, the EFL said: "As a mark of respect, following the passing of Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II earlier today, the EFL has confirmed that its fixtures scheduled for tomorrow evening (Friday 9 September) – Burnley v Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers v Stockport County - have been postponed.
"A determination regarding the remainder of this weekend’s scheduled fixtures will be made following a review of the official mourning guidance, in addition to further consultation with DCMS and other sports on Friday morning."
Overview of shops and the economy
The day of The Queen's funeral will be a Day of National Mourning, but employers will not be compelled to give staff a day off. Unless it falls on the weekend, there will be a national bank holiday, following church services and memorial services across the UK.
The service will take place at Westminster Abbey, and a two minute silence will be held across the UK at noon. Most people will therefore get time off from work on the day of Her Majesty's funeral.
Shops will close or only be open for reduced hours, while banks will of course also be shut. The London Stock Exchange will be closed for at least the day of the Queen's funeral and possibly for several days after - which could potentially cost the economy billions.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of the Navy will study the effect of climate change more frequently to better understand the impact that worsening weather and conditions are having on force effectiveness.
“Yes to more exercises,” Meredith Berger, the assistant secretary of the Navy for energy, installations and environment, said Sept. 7 at the annual Defense News Conference. “It was fruitful time that we spent together, and looking forward to learning more from it, for sure.”
The Navy this summer hosted a first-of-its-kind “tabletop” climate exercise, in which leaders gather to discuss emergency scenarios, at Marine Barracks Washington to test elements of its Climate Action 2030 plan.
The scenario focused on an amphibious exercise with a partner in the Indo-Pacific, which is ultimately hit by a typhoon, according to a Navy summary of the event.
A major takeaway from the exercise, Berger said, was recognizing “the way that the threat of climate change is impacting the mission” and how collaboration can mitigate risk. Other feedback included the importance of identifying single points of failure and incorporating climate predictions and considerations into planning.
“We saw the importance of partnership,” Berger said at the conference. “We saw the difference that it makes when we are working together, when we are paying attention to the different logistics concerns.”
Those involved in the tabletop venture hailed from the Department of Defense, Congress, think tanks, industry, nonprofits and other federal agencies.
The Navy published its Climate Action 2030 strategy in May, following President Joe Biden’s executive order dubbed “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.” The strategy describes climate change as one of the “most destabilizing forces of our time,” aggravating other national security issues and endangering installations like Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina.
Sea-level rise and drought — consequences of climate change — are particularly hazardous to the Navy and Marine Corps.
“Our naval forces, the United States Navy and Marine Corps,” the climate strategy stated, “are in the crosshairs of the climate crisis: the threat increases instability and demands on our forces while simultaneously impacting our capacity to respond to those demands.”

While the Monkeypox outbreak in Oregon doesn’t appear to be slowing, vaccine supply remains limited in counties impacted by the virus. Lane County is working with what it has.
Amanda McCluskey is with HIV Alliance. She said when folks call their health clinic about the virus, they go through a screening to determine if they are “at-risk” enough. “You know for some of our clients it’s been rather scary and anxiety provoking,” she said. “You know folks are very worried about this. And I think it’s also been a little frustrating how strict the criteria is for getting the vaccine.”
McCluskey said HIV Alliance expects the Oregon Health Authority to relax eligibility requirements-- as more vaccine arrives. According to Public Health officials, there have been 21 total confirmed cases of hMPXV, or monkeypox, virus in Lane County and zero new infections in the last two weeks.

If you go through the screening and do not qualify at this time, please continue to monitor LCPH website and the Oregon Health Authority Monkeypox webpage for announcements on when vaccine is more widely available.
Call your healthcare provider to be evaluated for hMPXV (monkeypox) before receiving a vaccination. If you do not have a provider, call Lane County Public Health at (541) 682-4041.

World No.1 Iga Swiatek had to pull off multiple comebacks Thursday night before making the US Open final for the first time in her career.
Swiatek fought back from a one-set deficit, as well as from a break down in the third set twice, before edging No.6 seed Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in a 2-hour, 11-minute semifinal showdown on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"I felt a huge difference between the first set and the last two," Swiatek said in her post-match press conference. "I'm pretty happy that I got my level of energy up a little bit.
"Aryna made it difficult today, for sure. I felt like she was serving pretty solid. It was hard to come back in the third, but I'm pretty happy that I did."
Swiatek, who had never made a US Open quarterfinal before this season, is now into her third career Grand Slam final, her second of the year and first off the red clay of Roland Garros. Swiatek is 2-0 in Grand Slam finals in her career. She won in Paris in 2020 and earlier this year.
Can. Not. Wait. 😻

It's Iga vs. Ons: Swiatek will now meet No.5 seed Ons Jabeur in Saturday’s women’s singles final after Jabeur breezed past No.17 seed Caroline Garcia 6-1, 6-3 in the night’s first semifinal. Swiatek and Jabeur are No.1 and No.2 in match-wins this season.
The head-to-head between Swiatek and Jabeur is deadlocked at two wins apiece, and they are 1-1 on hard courts. In their only meeting this season, Swiatek prevailed in the Rome final on clay 6-2, 6-2.
"[Jabeur] has a different game style than most of the players," Swiatek said. "She has a great touch. All these things mixed up, yeah, she's just a tough opponent."

Preserving the lead: On Thursday night, Swiatek fought hard to maintain the lead she currently holds in her rivalry with Sabalenka. Sabalenka won their first meeting at last year’s WTA Finals, but Swiatek has now won all four of their matches this season.
Their previous meetings this year had all been routine straight-set wins for Swiatek, but this one went down to the wire. Sabalenka led by 2-0 and 4-2 in the third set, but Swiatek took the last four games of the match.
"I feel like Aryna served pretty well today, better than on our other matches," Swiatek said. "[Losing the first two games of the third set] kind of helped me to get back on ground and realize I still have a lot of expectations even though the second set was pretty dominant.
"I just went all in, you know. This time it actually gave me a lot, and the balls that I played went in. I'm pretty happy because I feel like we were both kind of sometimes risking, because the pace was really, really high."
For Sabalenka, it marks her third narrow loss in a Grand Slam semifinal. Sabalenka fell in the same round at 2021 Wimbledon and the 2021 US Open -- and she lost each of those matches 6-4 in the third.

Match moments: Sabalenka took a critical lead in the opener by converting her fourth break point of the 2-2 game with an error-forcing forehand. A sturdy volley gave Sabalenka a second break and the one-set advantage.
However, Swiatek brought her power plays to the fore in the second set, breaking Sabalenka at love in the opening game. Backing her big shots up with improved defense, Swiatek rolled through that set to level the match.
After an early exchange of breaks in the third set, a volley winner gave Sabalenka a key break for 3-2, and after consolidating, she was two games away from her first major final. But Swiatek bided her time and broke back at love for 4-4, wrapping up that game with a backhand crosscourt winner.
At 5-4, a resurgent Swiatek finished off a rally with a winning overhead to reach 0-40 and triple-match point. A forehand winner by Sabalenka saved the first, but on the second, Sabalenka’s backhand found the net.
Swiatek finished the match with two more winners and 12 fewer unforced errors than Sabalenka. The top seed saved her top tennis for the latter stages of the match. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2786653/swiatek-pulls-off-comeback-vs-sabalenka-to-make-us-open-final | 2022-09-09T07:53:37Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2786653/swiatek-pulls-off-comeback-vs-sabalenka-to-make-us-open-final | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
NEW YORK - World No.1 Iga Swiatek and No.5 Ons Jabeur have been the two best players of the 2022 season. On Saturday at the US Open, they'll battle it out for the final Grand Slam title of the season.
Semifinal reports: Swiatek comeback thwarts Sabalenka | Jabeur routs Garcia
Swiatek and Jabeur sit at No.1 and No.2 atop the Race to the WTA Finals Leaderboard and they will leave New York at the top of the Hologic WTA Tour Rankings, with Jabeur set to return to her career-high No.2 spot after the tournament. In addition to leading the tour in match wins, Swiatek and Jabeur are the only women to make two major finals this season.
Swiatek and Jabeur have split their four previous meetings, with Swiatek winning their last match. In their only match this season, Swiatek defeated Jabeur 6-2, 6-2 in the Rome final.
Who has the edge on Sunday? WTA Insider breaks down the five key elements of their games.
The Serve
Swiatek: Holding serve has been a relative struggle for Swiatek in New York. She's won 68% of her service games, down from her season average of 72%. In her last three rounds, against Jule Niemeier, Jessica Pegula, and Sabalenka, she was broken a total of 16 times. She battled through those matches thanks to her returning, breaking 21 times. But more on that later.
Jabeur: The Tunisian is coming into the final off her best serving performance of the season. To snap Caroline Garcia's 13-match winning streak, Jabeur fired eight aces and did not face a break point for the first time this season.
The performance was less an anomaly and more of a trend for Jabeur, who has fired a tournament-best 34 aces in New York and won 73% of her service games. Her first-serve placement has been key. Jabeur has done a great job of keeping her opponents guessing, resulting in a 73% success rate when her first serve lands. In contrast, Swiatek has won 62% of her first-serve points.
Advantage: Jabeur
The Return
Swiatek: This is where the Pole excels. Swiatek has spent most of the season breaking serve over 50% of the time and she's been outperforming herself in New York. She has broken serve in 58% of her return games in New York - up from her season average of 52% - breaking in 35 of 60 games. When Swiatek beat Jabeur 6-2, 6-2 in the Rome final this year, she broke serve five times.
Jabeur: The key for Jabeur has been making her opponents play. She has landed 84% of her returns against some of the best servers in the game, including Caroline Garcia in the semifinals and Veronika Kudermetova in the fourth round. She's not breaking at Swiatek's rate, but at 48%, Jabeur has been very difficult to get past.
Advantage: Swiatek
Offense
Swiatek: The French Open champion has yet to play a match in New York where she finished with more winners than unforced errors. That's unusual for the typically rock-solid Pole, but it's also not surprising given how much lipservice she's paid to the lighter US Open balls. With her western grip, the quick courts, and the lighter balls, controlling her forehand has been a tough task. She has hit 118 winners to 167 unforced errors in the tournament, with 90 of those errors coming on the forehand side.
"On clay, you know, I feel just perfect," Swiatek said. :But for me actually winning when I'm not feeling perfectly, it's the best kind of thing and the best feeling."
Jabeur: With each match, Jabeur has improved and cleaned up her game. She has hit 159 winners to 161 unforced errors and her variety has left her opponents befuddled. While Swiatek won their only match this year, on the clay in Rome, when these two have played on quicker, low-bouncing courts, in Cincinnati and Wimbledon last year, Jabeur has been able to keep Swiatek off balance.
"I just feel like now I can do whatever I can do and what I want to do on the court, which is surprising for me and I surprise myself so many times," Jabeur said.
Advantage: Jabeur
Defense
Swiatek: Just ask Niemeier, Pegula, and Sabalenka how hard it is to get a ball past Swiatek. As much as her season has been about improving her aggression off the ground, Swiatek's game is still built on a solid foundation of speed, athleticism, and indefatigable defense. In the quarterfinals, Pegula led 3-0, 30-0 in the first set. Swiatek made two unforced errors for the rest of the set. Sabalenka had a 2-0 lead in the third set and ultimately buckled to Swiatek's unrelenting defensive pressure.
Jabeur: Swiatek may have the reputation, but the numbers lean towards Jabeur. Despite playing more long rallies than Swiatek this tournament, Jabeur has posted solid numbers when points go long. She has won half of the rallies that go past nine shots (49 of 98) compared to 42% for Swiatek (29 of 69). Jabeur may not match Swiatek's speed, but her anticipation is fantastic.
Advantage: Swiatek
Intangibles
Swiatek: Already a two-time major champion at 21 years old, Swiatek's incredible record in finals has become a remarkable stat. Since losing her first Hologic WTA Tour final at 2019 Lugano, Swiatek has not lost a set in a tournament final. She has won her last nine finals - 18 consecutive sets - and only two of those were at events below a WTA 1000 or Grand Slam level. In 15 of those 18 sets, she conceded no more than three games.
In New York, Swiatek has won her six matches more on grit and guile than resplendent play. Whiie some see that as a criticism, Swiatek should see it as a flex. She came into the US Open with tempered expectations, convincing herself that she's an underdog, and quieted the doubts, both external and internal.
Jabeur: If there is one thing we've learned about Jabeur in 2022 it's that failure very quickly leads to success. A heartbreaking loss in the Charleston final was answered with a Madrid title. Her shocking first-round exit at Roland Garros was met by an 11-match win streak on grass and a Wimbledon final.
Jabeur learned a lot about herself and the moment in that final, which she lost in three sets to Elena Rybakina. The experience of managing the roiling cauldron of pressure at a Slam has been met with a business-like march in New York. And let's not forget, these conditions favor Jabeur more than they do Swiatek.

The news that the Queen has passed away has left the country reeling, with Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard capturing the mood of the public during an emotional tribute on this morning's show. Queen Elizabeth II died in Balmoral yesterday afternoon (September 8) at the age of 96, after concerns for her health had reverberated around the world.
The country has entered 10 days of national mourning to honour the long-serving monarch who spent over 70 years on the throne. Both Reid and Shephard wore black as they undertook their presenting duties on the programme, which was slotted in as an extended special to honour the Queen after ITV pulled its original schedule for Friday.
Summarising a sentiment felt by most, Susanna said: "We knew this moment was coming and yet it is a shock." Co-host Ben also paid tribute to a "remarkable life she lived". While the pair hosted from the studios, Kate Garraway stood outside Buckingham Palace with mourners still gathering to pay their respects.

Of a monarch she described as having "sparkling eyes, even at the beginning of the week", Susanna added: "She had the longest reign of any monarch. She was the constant presence in all of our lives.
"She was dignified, dutiful, devoted to her family and to the Commonwealth. She gave a life of service. I reflected yesterday, we knew she couldn't be immortal and yet we hoped she would be. It is quite a moment."
Susanna emotionally highlighted how the Queen stepped in whenever the country needed her. She remembered the moment when her majesty brought the country together as the UK faced the pandemic: "It was the beginning of the lockdown. Everyone was thrown by something none of us had experienced. Nothing as significant since wartime.
"She did the speech that we all needed to watch and she and she reflected the words of Vera Lynn that we would be together again. So many people felt isolated and alone - and The Queen was there."
Susanna branded the Queen as "the golden thread" that linked the country to the second world and said the Queen's words were a turning point in the pandemic as it helped boost morale during a dark time in the UK.
Meanwhile, from outside the studio, Kate echoed Susanna's thoughts. "The atmosphere here has been one of we all knew this would happen but didn't want it to. Flowers are being laid," she said. "I'm lucky enough I pass these gates every day on the way to work.
"There's always tourists here and there is always a secret feeling, 'I wonder if we will see the Queen'. People are already responding saying I can't believe we won't see her again."
Widely considered as an unwavering presence in moments of adversity, Susanna reflected on the stability and hope the Queen offered during the Covid-19 pandemic - the most unprecedented of times. She said: "It was the beginning of the lockdown. Everyone was thrown by something none of us had experienced. Nothing as significant since wartime.
"She did the speech that we all needed to watch and she and she reflected the words of Vera Lynn that we would be together again. So many people felt isolated and alone - and The Queen was there."

Still unscathed: John Glenn boys seize command of MVL golf race
Underclassmen help keep Muskies unbeaten in league play
NEW CONCORD — Of the truisms in life, few are more consistent than John Glenn winning golf matches at home.
The Muskies have been piling up wins at Wildfire like stacks of firewood, a run of domination that stretches some three decades and a litany of Muskingum Valley League titles.
Even with their biggest competitors on hand on Thursday, nothing figures to change anytime soon.
Underclassmen Noah Dever and C.J. Dolan shared medalist honors with 1-under-par 35s and junior Owen Van Fossen shot 36 as the Muskies fired a 144 and rolled to dual wins against Maysville and Sheridan on the back nine.
Owen Lutz shot 38 and Connor Larimer and Hoyt Dodson had 40 for Maysville, which had 160. Mat Harper had 42. Sheridan totaled 168 behind Cooper Winders' 40, Blake Turnes 41, Aaron Saffell's 42 and a 45 from Reed Coconis.
Dolan, playing out of the No. 4 spot behind Van Fossen, Dever and lefty Braden Rice, who had 38, overcame an opening double bogey to play the final eight holes 3-under.
He needed just 13 putts — six holes ended in one-putts, including four that netted birdies. It was an example of the youthful depth that coach Chad Orecchio has at his disposal as his team chases another league title.
"Obviously, C.J. bounced back and played as well as he has played all year," Orecchio said. "We just kind of put it all together today, which is what we have been waiting for all year."
John Glenn stayed unbeaten in the MVL at 21-0 and extended its lead over the Panthers, who shot 160, to three matches with the MVL Tournament set for Sept. 23. Sheridan, which had 168, is now 14-5.
Orecchio said his team had plenty of motivation and "was excited to play today."
"It was great competition," Orecchio said. "It's great for our league when you have good teams playing against each other like this. It makes the league better.
"That's why we were excited to play with Maysville at the MVL preseason (tournament)," Orecchio said. "Those guys are good. So is Sheridan. That had a sectional feel to it. Competition is amazing."
John Glenn's score was shy of the school record for nine holes. It still matched the score the 2014 team shot against Philo on the back nine at Wildfire in 2014. That Muskie team, led by Jordan Wheeler and Dylan Van Fossen, eventually placed fourth in Division II.
This one, in Division I by just three boys, is one of the smallest in in the division. It will face a postseason gauntlet against many of the state's top big school teams from Central Ohio.
"We don't have any seniors," Orecchio said. "If we can make the district as a team, I think that would be a great accomplishment."
Maysville and Sheridan, meanwhile, have no such issues. Both are in Division II and hope to challenge for a state tournament berths, with Sheridan hoping to grab one of two spots in the Southeast and Maysville the only bid in the East.
Neither task figures to be enviable.
"We haven't hit our peak," Coconis said, adding the team has grown closer in recent weeks. "We have six guys who could be medalist any given night. When we get to the postseason we could make a run, because we have six dudes who that can shoot 80. That's what you need in the tournament."
He lamented one of his rare off days this season — he had 37 on Tuesday at Perry Country Club — but acknowledged it likely wouldn't have mattered regardless, given the Muskies' stellar play.
"Their whole team can play," Coconis said. "That's a hell of a score. You can tell they are prepared. Coach Orecchio does a great job. Every year he has their team ready to go."

Volleyball
Coshocton 25, 25, 25, Crooksville 14, 9, 9: The Lady 'Skins (5-3, 4-2) leaned on a balanced effort to sweep the Ceramics in a Small School Division tilt.
Coshocton's offensive attack was led by Kenidi Jackson who pounded nine kills, while Jalynn West had five and Lindsay Bryant, Saige Abbott, and Addy Gordon each collected four.

(CN) — Playing the part of detectives in their study published Thursday in Frontiers in Medicine, researchers examined the skeleton remains and preserved soft tissues of three pre-Columbian mummies and discovered two were murdered.
To examine the three mummies that had been preserved since the 19th century, the researchers used 3D computerized tomography, or 3D CT. Dr. Andreas G. Nerlich, a professor at the Department of Pathology of Munich Clinic Bogenhausen in Germany and the study’s corresponding author, explained 3D CT as “virtual calculations of soft tissues (and bones) that can be viewed from various sides and in relation to neighboring structures.”
According to Nerlich, the technology was essential in identifying the trauma the mummies endured.
“It provided the option to reconstruct soft tissue structures that would otherwise have escaped from detection,” wrote Nerlich via email. He added that the “types of trauma we found would not have been detectable if these human remains had been mere skeletons.”
Using 3D CT, the researchers confirmed that the male mummies died violently.
The researchers theorize that two people killed the Marburg mummy between 996 and 1147 A.D., according to radiocarbon results, a man who belonged to the Arica culture in today’s northern Chile. They said it was possible that one attacker hit the victim on the head while a second attacker stabbed the Marburg mummy in the back, though it is unclear if he was standing or kneeling at the time of his death. However, the researchers said they did not rule out a lone attacker carrying out the murder.
Meanwhile, the researchers found that the male Delémont mummy, who likely came from the Arequipa region in today’s southwestern Peru, showed “massive trauma against the cervical spine, which represent most likely the cause of death. The significant dislocation of the two cervical vertebral bodies itself is lethal and may have led to immediate death,” according to the study. Researchers dated his death between 902 and 994 A.D.
As for the third and only female mummy, the study says that she died of natural causes sometime between 1224 and 1282 A.D. Although she showed extensive skeletal damage, the researchers confirmed that this occurred post-mortem, possibly during the burial process and not on purpose.
Nerlich touted the advantages 3D CT gave the researchers when studying the mummies, especially considering the potential downsides of other methods.
“Long ago, mummy studies were mostly only done by dissection (and destruction) of a body,” wrote Nerlich. “More recently, X-rays and later CT scans provided non-destructive insights into those bodies, however, with only limited information. Novel CTs are much more detailed and provide the option of (3D) reconstructions of specific body parts.”
The findings in this study could have wider implications for finding the causes of death in other mummies. After all, the study noted that a recent review of other pre-Columbian remains found evidence of violent trauma in 21% of male mummies. With 3D CT, researchers can determine how exactly these pre-Columbian people died.
“Importantly, the study of human mummified material can reveal a much higher rate of trauma, especially intentional trauma, than the study of skeletons. There are dozens of South American mummies which might profit from a similar investigation as we did here,” said Nerlich.

SALT LAKE CITY (CN) — Survivors of Utah’s notorious Kingston clan filed a lawsuit seeking punitive damages against 22 Kingston members on Wednesday for sex trafficking minors born into the organization, sexual battery, child abuse and more.
One of the survivors includes Amanda Rae Grant, who appeared on season two of A&E’s "Escaping Polygamy" to discuss her experiences with the polygamous organization.
“The Order,” as the Kingston clan calls itself, is a religious cult affiliated with the Latter Day Church of Christ, a Mormon fundamentalist denomination. The Southern Poverty Law Center recognizes the Kingston clan as an “incest and white supremacy” group for its practices outlined in Escaping Polygamy, which include teaching children to not associate themselves with non-white people and, as mentioned by the lawsuit, marrying underage children off to family members of The Order.
According to the lawsuit, defendants engaged in unlawful patterns practices that harmed survivors, including pre-arranged marriages of minors between family members, rape, physical abuse, forced pregnancy and child labor.
“It is a common and intentional practice in the Order to require girls and women to submit sexually against their will to their husbands to produce children,” states the complaint, adding: “It is a common and intentional practice in the Order for girls to be impregnated when they are young so they cannot leave; this is especially true for girls that may resist Order rules or may not show sufficient obedience.”
Additionally, the lawsuit outlines a series of other illegal practices such as defrauding birth certificates, managing a fake bank and so-called “bleeding the beast.”
“It is a common and intentional practice in the Order to Bleed the Beast by systematically preparing and filing false tax returns,” states the lawsuit. “It is a common and intentional practice in the Order for fathers not to be listed on their children’s birth certificates to create confusion, avoid criminal prosecution for fathering children in underage, plural and incestuous marriages and/or for illicit labor and tax reasons.”
Attorneys for the plaintiffs are Roger Hoole of Hoole and King LLC and Jaclyn Robertson of JR Law Group LLC.

What will matter more: the Mets’ schedule or the Braves’ sizzle?
No one has an easier slate remaining than the Mets. No one is playing better than the Braves.
With 24 games left, the Mets have the smoother course ahead. The Braves, with 25 games left, have a seven-game winning streak and momentum that has not waned since June.
The home stretch is here for baseball’s best divisional race.
There are under four weeks remaining to settle an NL East that the Mets have let slip and the Braves have tried to grab. A Mets lead that was 10 ¹/₂ games on June 1 will be a half-game as Buck Showalter’s crew heads to Miami and the Braves head to Seattle for series that begin Friday.
FanGraphs estimates the Mets have a 63.5 percent chance of winning the division, which seems more confident than most fans around Queens. Here is a primer for what lies ahead in another classic Mets-Braves battle:
Schedule
— According to Tankathon, the Mets have the easiest schedule remaining in the majors — but that was true for their past two series, too, when they went 3-3 against the Nationals and Pirates. The Mets have 10 in a row against sub-.500 clubs until three games in Milwaukee. After the Brewers series, the only quality team the Mets will play will be the Braves themselves, from Sept. 30-Oct. 2, in Atlanta.
A potential break: For their upcoming series, the Mets will miss Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara.
— Entering play Thursday, the Braves’ remaining schedule was the 12th-easiest in baseball. Brian Snitker’s crew is amid a West Coast trip that will go from Seattle to San Francisco. Upon returning to the East Coast, the Braves will play seven of 11 games against Bryce Harper and the Phillies, who are fighting for a playoff spot.
A potential break: The Braves will dodge Mariners ace Luis Castillo and are set up to avoid Giants standout Logan Webb in the ensuing series.
Health concerns
— The Mets have several significant worries. Max Scherzer will miss at least two starts with what the team termed left oblique irritation. The Mets are trying to avoid placing Starling Marte on the IL and — for now at least — are hoping their most consistent hitter can manage a broken right middle finger.
Infielder Luis Guillorme (hamstring strain), who is in the middle of a rehab assignment and should be nearing activation, leads the reinforcements. Trevor May (COVID-IL) is expected to return this weekend. The Mets have several rehabbing relievers who could become September options, including Tylor Megill, Drew Smith and Joey Lucchesi.
— The Braves are getting healthier. All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies, who broke his foot in June, began a rehab assignment last week and is nearing a return, which could push breakout rookie Vaughn Grissom to left field. Righty starter Mike Soroka, an All-Star in 2019 before a series of injuries struck, is building up in Triple-A and could be an option soon.
The rotation help could be important. Jake Odorizzi did not take his most recent turn in the rotation because of arm fatigue.
The largest concern for Atlanta’s position players belongs to Ronald Acuña Jr., who is being careful with his surgically repaired right knee. Acuña, normally a right fielder, has served as the DH in the Braves’ past seven games because of knee soreness.
Streaking
— The Mets’ other bats. Eduardo Escobar owns a six-game hitting streak in which he is batting .526 with three home runs. James McCann is showing more life than he has since signing with the Mets. Previously struggling Tyler Naquin has filled in nicely for Marte.
Jacob deGrom (1.66 ERA) has returned as a superhuman, and Chris Bassitt boasts a 1.75 ERA in his past seven starts.
— The Braves have scored 34 runs in their past seven games, so much of their lineup is hot. Outfielder Marcell Ozuna, hitting .438 this month, has caught fire; Grissom, hitting .347, has played like a star since his August call-up; and outfielder Michael Harris II owns a 14-game hitting streak.
Atlanta’s rotation has a worry in Odorizzi but a warrior in Spencer Strider, who has 25 strikeouts in his past two outings.
Skidding
— The Mets’ most important bats, Pete Alonso (.646 OPS in September) and Francisco Lindor (.609), are having their worst months of the season. Daniel Vogelbach (3 for his last 30) and Darin Ruf (batting .163 as a Met) have not helped enough at DH.
The Mets’ rotation has the same second-half concern as it did last season: Taijuan Walker (6.25 ERA since the break) has fallen off for a second straight year.
— Dansby Swanson was a first-time All-Star this season, but the Braves shortstop’s play has dipped in the second half. Outfielder Robbie Grossman, a deadline pickup from the Tigers, has yet to hit.
Fourth starter Kyle Wright has been excellent this season but has surpassed his career-high in innings, which bears watching. He was roughed up by the A’s offense Tuesday. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/09/breaking-down-factors-that-will-decide-mets-braves-nl-east-race/ | 2022-09-09T08:18:34Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/09/breaking-down-factors-that-will-decide-mets-braves-nl-east-race/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

City of Warner Robins announces program to help reduce crime, fill officer openings
Warner Robins city leaders have created a program to help address a recent increase in crime.
WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Warner Robins city leaders have created a program to help address a recent increase in crime.
The Part-Time Patrol Officer position is designed to help address a shortage in officers the Warner Robins Police Department is experiencing.
It’s also giving the department an extra set of eyes while patrolling the community.
Police Chief John Wagner says the department’s goal is to hire 15 part-time officers.
To apply, you must be post-certified or retired law enforcement. The police department says it’s hoping the program will move officers into full-time positions.
According to Chief Wagner, it will also alleviate the amount of work each officer handles.
“You have to worry about burnout with officers,” he said. “You’re going call to call, you still have training to do, you still have to go to court. There’s a lot that’s expected of these officers and we have a tremendous police department here, really great men and women.”

Dublin City Schools taking adding more metal detectors in effort to keep students safe
The Dublin City School District is making the safety of its students its top priority.
DUBLIN, Georgia(41NBC/WMGT) — The Dublin City School District is making the safety of its students its top priority.
The school system purchased eight metal detectors to add to the six it already had. The detectors, which cost $3,500 each, were funded by the Capital Improvement Fund.
“We’re in a climate now that evil is everywhere,” district safety director Tim Chatman said. “And if a school system has the mindset that something negative won’t happen at their campus, I think that’s the wrong mindset to have.”
According to Chatman, metal detectors are placed at all school entrances. They will also be used at all athletic events.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry these days,” he said.
Chatman says the district also has strategic meetings to talk about potential scenarios.
Lakeisha Fluker, the principal of Susie Dasher Elementary School, says the metal detectors are helping give parents a peace of mind.
“They’re entrusting us with their most precious cargo, their babies, and so anything we can do as a school and as a school district to make sure that parents feel safe and that they trust what we’re doing, we’re all for that,” she said.
Metal detectors aren’t the only safety items in place. All schools have cameras and teachers are equipped with a safety button.
Fluker says any extra safety measure is a good idea.
“I just feel safe knowing that I can do what I need to do here during the day and that we’re very transparent in the event something happens,” Fluker said.
School leaders say they will add additional safety measures if needed. | https://www.41nbc.com/dublin-city-schools-taking-adding-more-metal-detectors-in-effort-to-keep-students-safe/ | 2022-09-09T08:40:29Z | nbc.com | treatment | https://www.41nbc.com/dublin-city-schools-taking-adding-more-metal-detectors-in-effort-to-keep-students-safe/ | 0 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | 1 |
Dublin City Schools taking adding more metal detectors in effort to keep students safe
The Dublin City School District is making the safety of its students its top priority.
DUBLIN, Georgia(41NBC/WMGT) — The Dublin City School District is making the safety of its students its top priority.
The school system purchased eight metal detectors to add to the six it already had. The detectors, which cost $3,500 each, were funded by the Capital Improvement Fund.
“We’re in a climate now that evil is everywhere,” district safety director Tim Chatman said. “And if a school system has the mindset that something negative won’t happen at their campus, I think that’s the wrong mindset to have.”
According to Chatman, metal detectors are placed at all school entrances. They will also be used at all athletic events.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry these days,” he said.
Chatman says the district also has strategic meetings to talk about potential scenarios.

Perry Panthers named Georgia High School Football Daily’s “State Team of the Week”
Perry dominated Jones County 42-14 last week, earning the "State Team of the Week" honor.
PERRY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — After a one-point loss to Houston County in their season opener, the Panthers bounced back and dominated Jones County 42-14 in their second game.
With Jones County ranked #3 in the 5A, the Panthers earned Georgia High School Football Daily’s “State Team of the Week” after the victory.
Since 1959, Perry has won two region titles, both coming under head coach Kevin Smith in 2020 and 2021. So after being at the helm for his sixth season, coach Smith feels honored for the recognition.
“It gives me chill bumps. You work countless hours. You do countless things, and sometimes you feel like you are spending it in quicksand, and then all of a sudden, you start getting some of that fruit. We talk about it all the time, watering the root and playing the next play and playing the next play. We are going to get to some fruit, and we are starting to reap some of that fruit now, and it’s a very, very humbling feeling,” said Smith.
The Panthers continue their quest for a third-consecutive region title as they face Veterans in an in-county battle on Friday. | https://www.41nbc.com/perry-panthers-named-georgia-high-school-football-dailys-state-team-of-the-week/ | 2022-09-09T08:40:42Z | nbc.com | treatment | https://www.41nbc.com/perry-panthers-named-georgia-high-school-football-dailys-state-team-of-the-week/ | 0 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | 1 |

Rain and storms stick around for the end of the week
Clouds have moved in over most of Middle Georgia this evening as our next weather maker sets up to our south.
An area of low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will continue to funnel in moisture to Middle Georgia through the weekend.
This will result in periods of heavy rain, potentially gusty winds, and cooler high temperatures.
The low will be staying pretty stationary over the next few days which means that rain chances aren’t going anywhere for a while.
Rain totals, through Sunday, will likely range from 1-3″, with some spots seeing localized flooding.
Also note that most of us have already got saturated soils, so we could see faster flooding than a typical rain event.
The rain will finally be coming to an end next week as a cold front starts to move through the southeast.
Our temperatures will actually be heating up behind the front, but dry air will allow overnight lows to fall to the 60s.
The dry air should allow us to stay dry for the end of next week with highs in the upper 80s.
Light showers will be possible ahead of the cold front that will be pushing through next week, but dry air should limit our rain chances after Tuesday.
We will finally start to see some dry weather for a while, with highs around normal next week. | https://www.41nbc.com/rain-and-storms-stick-around-for-the-end-of-the-week/ | 2022-09-09T08:40:54Z | nbc.com | treatment | https://www.41nbc.com/rain-and-storms-stick-around-for-the-end-of-the-week/ | 0 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | 1 |

Rising property values may lead to rising property taxes in Warner Robins
Due to rising property values, Mayor Patrick says some residents may soon see a payment increase.
WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Mayor LaRhonda Patrick and the City of Warner Robins held the first of three town hall meetings Thursday addressing property tax increases.
Patrick says the Warner Robins millage rate is currently at 9.980.
Due to rising property values, Mayor Patrick says some residents may soon see a payment increase.
Warner Robins resident and realtor Beth Lynn believes the rate should rise as property values rise.
“The millage rate should go up as property values increase, like at some point there has to be some leveling out,” she said. “If your property is worth more, then you’re going to need to pay more in taxes. That’s just how it is.”
Two more meetings regarding the millage rate are being held September 14 and September 19 at Warner Robins City Hall. | https://www.41nbc.com/rising-property-values-may-lead-to-rising-property-taxes-in-warner-robins/ | 2022-09-09T08:41:00Z | nbc.com | treatment | https://www.41nbc.com/rising-property-values-may-lead-to-rising-property-taxes-in-warner-robins/ | 0 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

State Superintendent Richards Woods makes visit to Alexander II Magnet School
Alexander II Magnet School in Macon got a special visit Thursday from the state schools superintendent.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Alexander II Magnet School in Macon got a special visit Thursday from the state schools superintendent.
Superintendent Richard Woods visited the school to connect with students and staff and speak with them about the importance of STEM education.
Woods said a focus on science, technology, engineering and math helps students with critical thinking and problem solving skills.

The Lake Martin Tourism Association (LMTA) is providing the opportunity for many to advance in the workforce.
The association will host free hospitality training classes this winter in response to surging tourism throughout Tallapoosa County.
According to Executive Director Brandy Hastings, the influx of travelers has skyrocketed over the past two years, with Alexander City tourism and lodging tax collections reaching an all-time record in both 2020 and 2021.
State leaders in fact honored the non-profit for contributing to the tourism surge, naming LMTA Tourism Organization of the Year during an industry conference last week.

“Because as we continue to grow as a destination itself, we also want to make sure our destination has good workers and good training for them,” Hastings said.
Hastings noted that travel projections remain on par for this year as well, and as such the course will prepare residents for shifting workforce trends.

The grant-funded course will span December 12-13, and will specifically train selected lodging, including workers employed at local hotels, campgrounds and other traveling services.
“Anything that's considered lodging, and it will be pretty immersive training, because we want to find ways to provide resources for businesses and help them have everything they need for good tourism,” Hastings said.
LMTA President Ed Collari also noted the training as beneficial for more than the tourism industry, explaining that customer service transcends a variety of industries and careers.
“This free training deals with anyone that is customer facing, whether they're tourists or not. We recognize that maybe the front desk person at the Hampton Inn, or the waitress at the local Huddle House, or the person checking out customers out at Winn Dixie need to understand what our market offers,” he said. “Because a lot of times that's who the person from out of town will ask.”
Collari described area tourism as a vital economic driver, which in turns supports local community investments, including local businesses and residents.
“We want to make sure they're equipped with a good answer. So, it's an opportunity for us to train people who are already working in our community and help them deliver the best experience they can for those that they encounter on a daily basis,” he said.
Those that participate in the course will receive a certificate of completion.

The End Zone Game of the Week Preview: Jones County vs. Peach County, Pt. 3
The End Zone Game of the Week is scheduled for Friday, September 9, at 8 p.m. at Trojan Field.
FORT VALLEY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — The week four End Zone Game of the Week features the Peach County Trojans hosting the Jones County Greyhounds.
The Jones County Greyhounds opened their season with two solid victories against the Northside Eagles and the Dacula Falcons. But in week three, the Greyhounds had a bit of a hiccup against the Perry Panthers.
“We weren’t ready to play. We came out, and they hit us in the mouth a little bit, and we didn’t answer the call. I don’t think the score was any indication of what the competition of the game was, but you got to tip your hat to those guys. They played great, and we’re using it for motivation going forward,” said Jones County head coach Mike Chastain.
The Peach County Trojans were featured in our first End Zone Game of the Week, where they dominated the Baldwin Braves 50 to 20, but in week two, the Trojans fell to Northside. Since they’ve had a bye week, head coach Chad Campbell remarked on what the team has been trying to improve in their week off.
“Everything. I mean, we didn’t play well at all. I mean, Northside had a lot to do with that, but we didn’t play up to our capabilities and our standard. And we’ve been trying to get back to that, and try to get better each day these last couple weeks,” said Campbell.
Peach County has dominated this matchup, winning the last five meetings; however, the most recent game came in 1997. With some rain in the forecast for tonight’s matchup, both head coaches can’t hope for more than a hard-fought battle.
“You got to take care of the football, and then you got to outplay people. I mean, both teams are well-coached. Both teams got good coaching staffs, but we got to get them to the field playing hard,” said Chastain.

Very important people visited Jim Pearson Elementary School Thursday, September 8.
In lieu of a traditional Grandparents Day, the school expanded the annual occasion into a new celebration that recognized all heroes in students’ lives. Dubbed “VIP Day”, Principal Stephanie Brooks explained that Jim Pearson staff honored community members that nurture students outside the classroom.
“Instead of just Grandparents Day, we decided to make it one event: VIP or ‘Very Important Person,’ because a lot of our children might not have a mother, father or grandparent, but every child has a very important person in their life,” Brooks said.
Brooks noted among the honorees included parents, guardians and grandparents but also less recognized caretakers such as aunts, uncles and even siblings.
The school’s pre-K and first grade students participated in the festivities, smiling as they enjoyed breakfast with their guests before touring classrooms, meeting teachers and browsing the ongoing book fair.

“We wanted to honor that by allowing them to bring someone to school, and give an opportunity for the kids to share their time at school with important people in their life,” she said.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis, or BEA, reported a month ago that the U.S. economy contracted for the second straight quarter that ended June 30 – a widely accepted rule of thumb for what typically constitutes a recession. According to the BEA's advance estimate, Gross Domestic Product fell at an annualized rate of 0.9 percent for the second quarter—which has since been revised downward to a decline of only 0.6 percent following a 1.6 percent decline in GDP reported for the first quarter of 2022.
A debate rages on among economic experts as to whether these particular two consecutive quarters of declining GDP indeed signal a recession or if contrary economic data—such as record low unemployment and high inflation, among other factors—make this decades-long indicator less valid than it has been in the past.
So, are we in a recession or not? James R. Barth, Lowder Eminent Scholar in Finance at Auburn University's Harbert College of Business, has examined the relationship between initial estimates of quarterly GDP and their value as a predictor of whether the U.S has entered a period of economic recession. He shares his thoughts about the conflicting economic data and what it might mean for the U.S. economy going forward.
Can you explain to us the role of two consecutive quarters of negative GDP in determining if the U.S. is in a recession? How accurate has this metric been?
I cover business cycles using data from 1857 to the present in my undergraduate course every spring. This includes the topic - "How do we know when we're in a recession?" I show them the dates of all the recessions over the period, and the data typically shows that whenever real GDP has declined for two consecutive quarters, it turns out that we'd entered a recession.
But it isn't that simple, is it? The formal determination of whether we've entered a recession isn't made until well after two straight quarters of negative GDP have been recorded, right?
That's true. Right now, it's too soon to know. The reason is that the eight economists associated with the National Bureau of Economic Research, or NBER, who date business cycles are still examining the data. The practice has been to rely on their definition of a recession, which is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy and lasting more than a few months. Unfortunately, their determination of recessions typically takes between four and 21 months.
One might compare their procedure to that of a doctor. When you go to your doctor, he or she might say: "There are a few possible reasons for your symptoms, and I think I know what's wrong with you, but I need to conduct a few more tests to be sure." Would you say: "No thanks, doc, I'll go with your initial thoughts" rather than wait for the results of the tests your doctor needs to be sure of their diagnosis?
Remember that there are (at least) two key factors at work in making a final data-based determination by NBER's economists as to whether we are in a recession and, if so, when it began:
- The first factor to consider is that these formal assessments are always made after two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth have been reported. During the four months or so after that, the eight economists at NBER conduct a detailed analysis and deep-dive assessment of the country's economic health, pulling in a much broader range of data than "mere" real GDP growth decline. These data points include unemployment claims, job growth, consumer confidence, etc.
- The second factor pertains to the relative impact of other conditions that may skew the viability of real GDP decline alone as a clear indicator. This time around, these include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, persistent supply chain disruptions and emerging political and trade issues with China, to name just a few.
Let's take the first factor you identify—can you walk us through what goes into the more detailed assessment you describe? What other economic data beyond GDP are you referencing?
The comprehensive, research-based analysis of the economy the NBER relies on a host of economic statistics beyond real GDP growth. These experts take into account data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Conference Board and other respected sources to paint what they consider to be a clearer, more vivid picture of the U.S economy at any given point.
Let's look at what some of these indicators tell us today:
- Unemployment claims continue to log record lows for the first half of 2022 and have declined every week since August. We typically don't see unemployment at these historically low levels—a little over 200,000 claims per week—during a recession.
- Job openings are also at extraordinarily high levels, rising from 10.7 million job openings in June to 11.2 million in July. Recessions typically come with a reduction in available jobs, not an increase.
- Consumer confidence is another measure economists use when determining whether we've entered a recession, and again, this metric today appears to contradict what normally occurs during a recession. The Conference Board reported that consumer confidence rose from 95.3 in June to 103.2 in July, which is not what one might expect during a recession.
As you mention, these seemingly contradictory economic metrics are not the only factors these experts have to contend with as they consider whether or not we've entered a recessionary period. A wide range of global issues impacting the U.S. economy today are presenting unique challenges, aren't they?
Yes, they are, and here's where everything happening today needs to be considered according to the impact these economic factors have on people living at various income levels, socio-economic status, financial security, etc. On the one hand, high employment, robust job growth and the corresponding wage rise might benefit everybody in the U.S.—but a closer look says otherwise. If wages rise by 4percent while the cost of goods and services go up by 8percent, real wages go down, as does purchasing power.
Inflation, in particular, affects people in lower income brackets much more than those with higher earnings, a more stable financial footing and the ability to tap into savings or cut discretionary spending. People in lower economic brackets don't have that flexibility. Gas prices have come down over the past few months but remain high. The cost of food and other essential goods rose, and it isn't clear how quickly they might come down or how much.
Everything you're saying here points to uncertainty. There doesn't appear to be precedent to look to for guidance regarding this historically divergent set of economic indicators. What can the federal government, including the Federal Reserve, do to help rectify today's challenging economic circumstances, especially inflation?
I'm glad you included the federal government vs. the Fed alone, which is the agency most people look to for relief. The Fed can raise interest rates to help cool down economic growth and drive down inflation. The Fed is acting, and it is having some effect. But we need to look beyond the Fed and interest rates for answers. The federal government's recent spending surge certainly contributes to inflation despite claims to the contrary. In these difficult times, we need to think bigger.
Can you give us an example of what you mean by "think bigger"?
Sure. Consider this: We can't have a healthy economy without healthy people. And yet, we devoted so little of our resources to preventing something as straightforward as the COVID-19 pandemic. The government's biggest failure—which the director of the CDC recently admitted—was the mixed messages regarding testing, masks, vaccines, etc. Get tested, don't get tested. Wear a mask, don't wear a mask. Get vaccinated, don't get vaccinated. Even after all we've been through, we haven't made much of a dent in resolving that uncertainty. Furthermore, we should never forget that the critical resource in our country is human capital, and much more should be done to improve the health and education of our people.
One thing we might do—which would take a separate interview to flesh out fully—would be to allocate $50 billion or so to scientific research about how to best combat the next pandemic and deliver that science-based information to the public. At the same time, we need to build the health care sector to be ready should the event occur. When you reduce uncertainty, you free up people to act in ways that more closely approach "normal times," whatever that might be.
What else should we know about the current condition of the U.S. economy?
We need to remember that recessions, inflation, interest rate fluctuations, etc. are all global issues—virtually every economy in the world faces them. We are not alone.
That reminds me of an opportunity I had a few years ago to travel to Moscow to speak at The International Foundation for Socio-Economic and Political Studies. Sitting next to me on my panel was Mikhail Gorbachev, the former president of the Soviet Union, who passed away just a few days ago. We had a chance to chat one-on-one, and it was interesting to hear the views of the former leader of a country with economic drivers that are often markedly different than those in our own country—and quite a different perspective on human capital as well.
I was honored to represent Auburn and participate in substantive economic discussions on the international stage and bring that experience and those wide-ranging views back to my students here on the Plains.

Central Coosa suffered its second straight loss after a 65-24 loss to Isabella on Thursday.
Despite the lopsided finish, Coosa filled the night with explosive plays and highlights.
Trailing 6-0 after the first drive of the game, Coosa came out hot against Isabella and scored on its first offensive play from scrimmage. Cassidy Howard took a pitch to the right, broke numerous tackles then turned on the jets to take the play 61-yards for a touchdown.
“We started off with momentum,” head coach Shundell Russaw said. “We scored on our first possession, and we got excited.”
Majavius Culpepper punched in the 2-point conversion to give the Cougars an early lead.
Central Coosa kept the momentum by forcing a fumble on the second play of Isabella’s second play from scrimmage. As the ball bounced on the ground for a few seconds, linebacker Elisha Hayes pounced on it and gave the Cougars possession.
Hayes also recorded a tackle for loss in the first half and forced a fourth-down stop in the fourth quarter.
After the turnover Isabella took control of the game. The Mustangs mounted a 44-0 run to take a commanding lead in the second quarter.
Even facing the first-half deficit, Coosa stayed resilient.
The fans remained engaged, and Coosa rewarded them with an exciting 40-yard touchdown run from Hayes.

Last week Russaw played his J.V. in the second half due to the effort of the starting group, but this week he saw more tenacity in his team.
“It’s tough when you get down,” Russaw said “But I can look in their eyes, and I saw different individuals this week. They didn’t let up. They didn’t stop trying. They fought to the end.”
Coosa kicked off the fourth quarter by stopping Isabella on a fourth down attempt.
On the next play, Coosa executed another long touchdown run, this one from Antoneo Grant.
Grant took the direct snap and flew by everyone for an 85-yard touchdown run.
Russaw said that the late touchdown, mixed with the team using its timeouts in the last minute of the game, speaks to “the kind of culture” he is aiming to build at Coosa.
Russaw noted that defensively, his team needs to “improve on tackling and being tough” but reiterated that he is excited for the future of his program.
“I’m excited about the future of Coosa County,” Russaw said. “I’m excited for the future of our football team and our school. There’s a lot of good things going on.”
Coosa County plays at Thornsby next Friday before returning home on Sept. 30 for its homecoming game against Woodland.
“We’re building,” Russaw said. “We’re not going to stop, and our time is coming.” | https://www.alexcityoutlook.com/sports/central-coosa-suffers-second-straight-loss/article_e40c1a64-2ff9-11ed-bb8d-a379afcf732f.html | 2022-09-09T08:41:32Z | alexcityoutlook.com | control | https://www.alexcityoutlook.com/sports/central-coosa-suffers-second-straight-loss/article_e40c1a64-2ff9-11ed-bb8d-a379afcf732f.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

With big wins in Week Three, Benjamin Russell’s Savon Spradley and Chris Foster and Reeltown’s Arthur Woods were awarded with the local Reputation on the Line award.
For Benjamin Russell, Spradley has had a major impact on the Wildcat defense. Through three weeks, the Wildcats have only allowed 27 points.
Spradley currently leads the team with 11.7 tackles per game, exactly two tackles a game ahead of the next closest player. The senior is also second on the team in tackles for loss with three total.
On a broader scale, Spradley is 12th in the state in total tackles with 35.
Spradley’s teammate Foster makes his impact on the offensive side of the ball, using his size and speed to torch defenders in the open field.
Foster does not look like the other receivers on Benjamin Russell’s roster. His 5'8 height is well shorter than other receivers like Corri Milliner or Cedarian Morgan, but that is exactly what makes the junior so important to the Wildcat offense.
On many occasions, when plays are busted for the Wildcats and the taller receivers are far downfield, Foster can catch an easy pass underneath the coverage from a scrambling Gabe Benton and earn his team an easy first down.

Last week, Foster did exactly that. Catching a ball across the middle, when all of the other receivers on the field had spaced out the defense, Foster was able to slash into the end zone for a score.
This season, Foster has caught 11 balls for 204 yards and two scores. His longest catch of the year went for 92 yards. His yards per game total is good for second on the team.
Reeltown’s Woods makes his mark on both sides of the field.
Last week against LaFayette, Woods got it done both in the rushing game and in the secondary. On offense, Woods rushed for over 100 yards and two scores. On defense, Woods got an interception, leading his team to a 41-0 victory.

LONDON (AP) - Queen Elizabeth II was much more than Britain's monarch. She was sovereign to another 14 nations and a rare figure on the world stage who was almost universally admired. Her reach cut through hemispheres, generations, social divisions and politics.
The widespread tributes that followed her death came not only from United States President Joe Biden but also from Russian President Vladimir Putin. They came from other monarchs, leaders, dignitaries and rock stars.
Elizabeth was Britain's longest-reigning monarch, serving 70 years. She had been on the throne since 1952, when the nation was still rebuilding from the destruction of World War II. She became a global icon of calmness and fortitude through decades of political upheaval and social change.
She died at age 96 at Balmoral Castle, her summer residence in Scotland.
During her reign, Elizabeth met more than a dozen American presidents. President Joe Biden said he was informed of her death by senior advisers during a meeting in the Oval Office.
She was a “stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States,” he and first lady Jill Biden said in a statement, saying she ”defined an era.”
The Bidens later went to the British Embassy to offer condolences. “We mourn for all of you. She was a great lady,” Biden could be heard telling embassy staff.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, sent a telegram to King Charles III, Elizabeth's son who automatically became Britain's new monarch.
“For many decades, Elizabeth II rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as authority on the world stage. I wish you courage and perseverance in the face of this heavy, irreparable loss," Putin wrote.
Elizabeth was mourned across Europe. In France, Britain’s historic rival and contemporary ally, officials ordered flags at the presidential palace and public buildings be lowered to half-staff on Friday.
President Emmanuel Macron hailed her “immutable moral authority” and her intimate knowledge of French.
He said no other foreign sovereign had visited the presidential palace more often than Elizabeth, who knew all eight presidents of contemporary France.
“The woman who stood alongside the giants of the 20th century on the path of history has left to join them,” Macron said in a statement.
Mourners also gathered at the British Embassy in Paris.
“She’s been a constant in my life,” said 70-year-old Robert Miller, a London resident in Paris for a conference.
“Whilst I know she was very old, she was still doing her work until yesterday," he said. “Like anybody’s mother, you know, even if you think things are going well, at some point the end of an era comes, and you’re very sad. “
Even in places where the relationship with British monarchy is complicated, the tributes flowed. In India, once a British colony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Elizabeth “a stalwart of our times.”
“She personified dignity and decency in public life,” Modi tweeted.
The queen’s death came as a growing number of British territories in the Caribbean are seeking to replace the monarch with their own heads of state amid demands that Britain apologize for its colonial-era abuses and award its former colonies slavery reparations.
Still, Caribbean leaders from Jamaica to Bermuda and beyond mourned her death.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness said that for many years she visited the island every decade.
“Undoubtedly, she formed a special bond with the people of Jamaica,” he said. “We are saddened that we will not see her light again, but we will remember her historic reign.”
Bermuda Premier David Burt noted that her reign “has spanned decades of such immense change for the United Kingdom and the world.”
It was not only Britain that lost its queen. Elizabeth was also sovereign to 14 other countries including Jamaica, Canada, Australia, the Solomon Islands and New Zealand.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she was awoken a little before 5 a.m. by a police officer shining a torch into her bedroom to tell her the news.
Ardern said the queen was an extraordinary woman who she’d remember for her laughter. Like many other people, she was feeling not only deep sadness but also deep gratitude.
“Here is a woman who gave her life, utterly, to the service of others. And regardless of what anyone thinks of the role of monarchies around the world, there is undeniably, I think here, a display of someone who gave everything on behalf of her people," Ardern said.
In Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was having trouble believing he'd had his last sit-down chat with Elizabeth: “I will so miss those chats," he said.
Elizabeth had visited Canada some 22 times as monarch.
“For most Canadians, we have known no other sovereign,” Trudeau said. He said she was a "constant presence in our lives - and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history.”
Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who led a failed campaign to have an Australian president replace the British monarch as Australia's head of state, came close to tears in paying tribute to Elizabeth.
“It’s the end of an era and let’s hope that the future, after the queen’s passing, is one where we will have leadership as dedicated and selfless as she has shown,” Turnbull told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Elizabeth was mourned across the 54-nation Commonwealth, a group built around Britain and its former colonies.
In Ghana, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recalled Elizabeth’s visits to his country and praised “the friendliness, elegance, style and sheer joy she brought to the performance of her duties.”
“We shall miss her inspiring presence, her calm, her steadiness, and, above all, her great love and belief in the higher purpose of the Commonwealth of Nations, and in its capacity to be a force for good in our world,” he said in a statement.
At the United Nations, the Security Council stood in silent tribute at the start of a meeting on Ukraine. France’s U.N. Ambassador Nicolas De Riviere, the council president, sent condolences on behalf of its 15 members.
Elizabeth presided “over a period of historic changes both for her country and the world,” he said. “Her life was devoted to the service of her country.”
Royalty across Europe also mourned Elizabeth’s death.
Her life “set an example for all of us and will remain as a solid and valuable legacy for future generations,” Spanish King Felipe VI said in a telegram to King Charles III.
“We will miss Her dearly,” he wrote, speaking for himself and his wife.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden called her “a constant presence, not only in British society but internationally.”
In Norway, King Harald said that for “nearly a century, Her Majesty devoted her life to the service of the Commonwealth, following the British people through good days and bad, in times of happiness and sorrow.”
The king and crown prince of Saudi Arabia also offered their condolences. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said the queen was “an example of wisdom, love and peace.”
In the U.S., tributes came not only from the Bidens but also every living former president.
Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, said she made “the role of Queen her own - with a reign defined by grace, elegance, and a tireless work ethic." George W. Bush called her “a woman of great intellect, charm, and wit," and Jimmy Carter said Elizabeth’s “dignity, graciousness and sense of duty" were inspiring.
Rock star Elton John paid tribute at his Toronto concert, saying he was inspired by her and is sad she is gone. “She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace and decency and genuine caring,” John said.
Praise even came from the fictional Paddington Bear, the beloved British children’s book character. The bear shared tea with the queen in a video shown in June during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“Thank you Ma’am, for everything,” said a statement Thursday on the Paddington Bear Twitter feed. | https://www.wboc.com/news/a-constant-in-my-life-world-mourns-queen-elizabeth-ii/article_d666dda6-3010-11ed-b1b8-a324be39ca57.html | 2022-09-09T08:43:34Z | wboc.com | control | https://www.wboc.com/news/a-constant-in-my-life-world-mourns-queen-elizabeth-ii/article_d666dda6-3010-11ed-b1b8-a324be39ca57.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
DELMARVA FORECAST
Friday: Mostly sunny and breezy. Winds from the northeast at 5 to 15 mph, gusting to 20 mph or more at times. Highs in the low 80s.
Friday night: Mostly clear with isolated patchy fog. Lows around 60°F.
Saturday: Mostly sunny and warmer. Highs in the mid 80s.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 80s. Chance of rain 30 percent.
Monday: Scattered showers with a few embedded rumbles of thunder. Highs in the mid 80s. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Tuesday: Scattered showers with a few embedded thunderstorms. Highs in the mid 80s. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy early, then mostly sunny by afternoon. Highs in the mid 80s.
Thursday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 80s.
FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 82°F. Normal low: 62°F.
An area of high pressure will build into the Mid-Atlantic today through the first half of the weekend, meaning mainly sunny skies across Delmarva. A breeze from the northeast to east could be gusty at times, and when combined with the full moon and astronomically high tides, minor coastal flooding will be possible.
The high then will depart to the east, and with that departure, winds will shift to a more southerly direction, increasing humidity across Delmarva by the second half of the weekend. As a trough gets organized to the west, a warm front will slide up the East Coast, and tap into the increasing moisture to trigger some showers by Sunday afternoon and evening.
As the trough organizes into a low pressure system and approaches the Mid-Atlantic, shower chances will increase on Monday into Tuesday. There may be a few embedded thunderstorms that could feature some heavy downpours that could cause brief, localized flooding.
Then, Delmarva will settle into a drier regime later in the week with temperatures at or slightly above normal.
Drought conditions continue to expand across Delmarva, with most of the peninsula under abnormally dry conditions, and severe drought now developing in portions of eastern Sussex County, Delaware. Any rain in the coming week will be welcome, but the downpours do not help the drought situation much.
In the tropics, Hurricane "Earl" continues to spin in the Atlantic, and will only be a threat to Bermuda.
Elsewhere, a tropical wave 1,200 miles east of the Leeward Islands has a medium chance for development, and a wave south of the Cape Verde Islands has a low chance for development.
None of these systems poses a threat to the United States at this time. | https://www.wboc.com/weather/dangerous-rip-currents-at-beaches-rain-returns-early-next-week/article_314fff4a-3011-11ed-afc8-df14050fa025.html | 2022-09-09T08:43:40Z | wboc.com | control | https://www.wboc.com/weather/dangerous-rip-currents-at-beaches-rain-returns-early-next-week/article_314fff4a-3011-11ed-afc8-df14050fa025.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

YAKIMA, Wash. -- The state's department of transportation (WSDOT) crews are repaving, repairing and restriping SR-823 or Selah Road, which requires road closures of both lanes until Sept. 30th.
The half-mile closure is in between the bridges going over the Yakima and Naches Rivers on west I-82, known as the 'twin bridges.' Traffic is reduced to one lane toward Ellensburg.
"It will be fairly simple, all you need to do is slow down and follow the signs," said a WSDOT South Central Region communications consultant, Summer Derrey.
About 26,000 drivers will be impacted daily, said Derrey. She said drivers merging lanes immediately following signs isn't as efficient as waiting until the end, which is called 'zipper merging.'
"A lot of people don't like it 'cause they think you're cutting in line and it's not fair, but believe it or not, it's the most efficient thing you can do," said Derrey.
The bridge shut down virtually cuts the construction project time in half and ensures worker safety, said Derrey. She said the 30-day construction is a short-term project with long-term benefits
"It's work that's much needed, it's for the future preservation so this bridge can last us for a long time to come," said Derrey.
WSDOT traffic engineers are committed to keeping the traffic moving, said Derrey. She said the construction shouldn't delay travel times by more than five minutes.
The American Medical Response (AMR), an ambulance service in Yakima, said in an email it hasn't experienced any delays in response times as a result of the closure of SR-823. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/yakima/watch-wsdot-encourages-zipper-merge-technique-to-avoid-traffic-delays-during-month-long-construction-near/article_f989ebb0-2ffd-11ed-891d-fbd6adb171ac.html | 2022-09-09T08:44:48Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/yakima/watch-wsdot-encourages-zipper-merge-technique-to-avoid-traffic-delays-during-month-long-construction-near/article_f989ebb0-2ffd-11ed-891d-fbd6adb171ac.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

New yuan loans continue to grow at a solid pace after the record ¥13.68 trillion for the first six months of the year.

The dollar is now down to the lows for the day as we see the technical correction run deeper ahead of the weekend break. Fed chair Powell didn't really give a different message to Jackson Hole yesterday while the ECB delivered on expectations and kept the door open for another 75 bps rate hike in October.
The latter is keeping European bond yields perky while some added jawboning from Japanese officials also contributed to a drop in USD/JPY but this to me just seems like the dollar rally has run out of steam upon testing key technical levels - more than any of the developments above.
The greenback is now down 1% against the euro and pound, so let's take a look at the charts to gauge the situation.
EUR/USD is threatening a push above its recent swing highs of 1.0075-90 as the high for the day clips 1.0101. A break above that will see the near-term bullish momentum extend with buyers potentially enjoying a reprieve towards 1.0200 and perhaps the 100-day moving average at 1.0344 currently:
The rebound comes after the failure to hold a firm daily break below the 0.9900 region even though sellers were keeping interested below parity. I still maintain that shorts are still preferred when viewing the pair but I wouldn't rule out a further correction in the meantime, especially with the US CPI data also in focus next week.
Meanwhile, GBP/USD is seeing a strong bounce on the weekly chart as it trades to the highs for week now upon testing the March 2020 lows near 1.1400:
That could mark a sign of a technical bottom and with the near-term chart also turning around to see a more bullish momentum on a break above its 100 and 200-hour moving averages:
There is scope for the rebound in the pound to extend towards 1.1800 potentially next.
All of this comes as USD/JPY is also on the retreat after failing to breach 145.00 and the added jawboning from Japanese authorities have helped to see a significant decline back below key near-term levels as outlined here. | https://www.forexlive.com/news/dollar-slides-further-down-1-against-the-euro-and-sterling-20220909/ | 2022-09-09T08:52:25Z | forexlive.com | control | https://www.forexlive.com/news/dollar-slides-further-down-1-against-the-euro-and-sterling-20220909/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

That's a good start as European stocks are looking to salvage something before the weekend comes along. The positive mood is also seen in US futures with S&P 500 futures now up 0.7% on the day. Nasdaq futures are up 0.9% and Dow futures up 0.6% as well. This comes with the dollar nudging to the lows for the day as we get things going in Europe. | https://www.forexlive.com/news/european-equities-open-higher-to-start-the-day-20220909/ | 2022-09-09T08:52:31Z | forexlive.com | control | https://www.forexlive.com/news/european-equities-open-higher-to-start-the-day-20220909/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
- Discussion on what level of rates the ECB aims to reach is premature
- Priority is to continue fiercely with normalisation of policy
- Inflation has been unacceptably high
- Risks to inflation is skewed upwards, risks to economy is skewed downwards
This is just very much a reiteration of what we have heard from Lagarde yesterday. She mentioned that 75 bps rate hikes are "not the norm" but from her tone, it is possible to expect that in October as inflation continues to hold high. Adding that policy tightening will continue for "several meetings" in which she alluded to being "less than five" - inclusive of yesterday. | https://www.forexlive.com/centralbank/ecbs-kaimr-75-bps-rate-hike-was-inevitable-and-right-20220909/ | 2022-09-09T08:52:50Z | forexlive.com | control | https://www.forexlive.com/centralbank/ecbs-kaimr-75-bps-rate-hike-was-inevitable-and-right-20220909/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Getting Through a Job Search With More Than a Job
Ph.D.s can find plenty of advice about how to land a position but a lot less about how to manage the emotional challenges the process entails, writes Douglas Hannah.
In academe, going on the job market is often viewed as a fearsome trial through which Ph.D.s must pass on their way to postdocs and professorships. Surprisingly, it’s also one for which many students are remarkably underprepared.
Colleges and universities typically hire for academic positions on an annual cycle. In my field of management, positions are posted in July, candidates are vetted at conferences in August, interviews and flyouts happen in September through January, and offers might roll out anywhere from November to March. That means the process itself can last more than seven months—an often grueling experience on top of the long slog of the Ph.D. itself.
Going on the job market is not only an unavoidable step on the path to an academic career, but it is also the penultimate one, building on years of work as a Ph.D. It can thus feel as if those years of our previous efforts and decades of future potential hang on the whims of unknown committees and an opaque process.
In a field that is already struggling with mental health, all this makes the process a recipe for disaster. Our advisers and mentors help us on methods, not mental health, and they are often among the constituents we need to court to succeed in our careers—so no room for display of weakness or second-guessing there. Meanwhile, friends and family outside academe frequently don’t understand its distinct challenges. Thus, we are often cut off from our most important support networks just when we need them the most.
In my own experience, written materials offering guidance are lacking as well. We can find plenty of information about how to succeed in landing a job but a lot less about how to manage the emotional challenges the process entails.
So what can we do? My perspective on this issue is informed by my personal experience. I’m an untenured academic on the tenure track at a major research university’s business school. Previously, I held the same position at a business school at another large research institution. I’ve been on the market twice and have worked with dozens of students and peers as they’ve gone through the process of finding employment.
Throughout our collective successes and failures, I’ve seen how hard it is to manage the emotional aspects of the job market. I’ve also identified some of the common challenges, as well as tools that help overcome them.
Managing the Process
First, the process. The focus of this article isn’t how to land a dream job. Instead, it’s how to stay healthy and balanced while landing that dream job. The challenge, however, is that it’s a lot easier to stay healthy and balanced when things are going well than when they are not.
My first piece of advice, then, is to set yourself up for success. Hitting the market with a portfolio you are excited about and with good work under your belt can transform a grueling trial into a fun opportunity to strut your stuff. The thing to remember is the Rule of 2.5: expect any project or paper to take two and a half times longer than you initially expect. So start early.
My second recommendation is to take care of yourself physically. The job market feels like a sprint, but it runs from August to February, and even our conferences are five days long. Over that time frame, it’s often counterproductive to try to push yourself too hard and too fast. Instead, the only winning strategy for such a marathon is eat, sleep, exercise and do whatever it takes to stay healthy and sane.
The third thing I suggest is to recognize the importance of community. Research can be lonely, and at its worst, the job market seems to pit friends and classmates against each other. But the truth is that communicating and commiserating doesn’t really give anyone an edge. Rather, it can help us prepare and make the process feel a lot less lonely. I forged many of my closest academic friendships and most valuable collaborations in the crucible of the job market search with peers who might otherwise have been rivals. My advice is to reach out, connect and celebrate collective successes. It’s a hard path when walked alone.
Managing Outcomes
When we imagine the process, many students stop there. But understanding and dealing with the results of going on the market can be just as hard as managing the process itself.
The first issue is the role of noise. Job offers are binary, but they are also very noisy—meaning that whether you get an interview, how well it goes or whether an institution is even hiring depends on a whole host of factors you’ll never know about (i.e., on what the dean had for breakfast or on butterflies flapping their wings in another hemisphere). What that means is that the outcome of the process ends up saying very little about you or the quality of your work. If you land the job you want, that’s great. And if you don’t, it may not reflect negatively on you at all.
It’s also very easy to get sucked in and feel that if we don’t land a job—any job—all those years of effort we’ve put in will be for naught. That is a fallacy. Our reasons for wanting to be academics vary, but it is typically because we are nerdy about our field or are attracted to the lifestyle. What we often forget along the way is that there are lots of ways to be nerdy and have a good life. Overlooking that can lead us to feel hopeless if we don’t get the job we want—or to make trade-offs on location or compensation that we shouldn’t.
A useful concept here is BATNA, or “best alternative to a negotiated agreement,” from the study of negotiations. BATNA highlights that how well you do in a negotiation is shaped in part by what options you have outside the negotiation. In that view, the job market itself is a negotiation with your field to land a job and lifestyle you want. And that means that the more you’ve researched and know about other paths you might pursue, and the more attractive those options are, the better you will do.
That is true even if you end up staying on the academic path. It’s a whole lot more enjoyable to walk a path if you’re doing so because you want to, not because you need to. As Tina Solvik explains in an excellent article, “Framing career exploration as another research project to undertake while pursuing your Ph.D. … requires information gathering and assessment, can have unexpected discoveries, and is a long-term process.” Sadly, it’s too often treated as an afterthought or a sign of not being committed to the path. That’s not true.
Managing Your Feelings
Almost everyone I know who landed a great job, myself included, asked themselves whether they deserved it and would be able to keep it. Impostor syndrome affects everyone, but it may be worse than normal for academics, who are expected to be confident masters of their domains. You can find a lot of good advice on how to deal with impostor syndrome, but the most important point is to just be ready for it and know that all your colleagues are asking (or at one time did) exactly the same questions.
Ultimately, landing an academic position isn’t the only outcome of the job market that you should be thinking about. Your health and well-being matter as well, and they aren’t worth sacrificing along the way. If you can effectively work to manage the process, the outcomes and your own feelings, you will be far more successful over the long haul.

Title
Thoughts on ‘Becoming a Student-Ready College’
Useful prompts for reflection, with a small caveat.
We have a running joke in the family that when someone asks why a given phrase exists or what it means, I get a thoughtful expression, put a finger in the air and say, “It’s from the French for …” The kids groan. There’s something satisfying about finding out the origin of a common phrase. Sometimes it’s the Bible, sometimes Shakespeare, sometimes a movie or a song, but it can be almost anywhere. Knowing where phrases come from can prevent major social mistakes. For example, I was in my 20s before I learned that the original version of “eenie meenie minie moe” contained a racial slur; that wasn’t the version I learned as a child. Knowing that, I made a point of dropping the rhyme entirely from my repertoire. A colleague once suggested using “drink the Kool-Aid” as a motto at a recruitment event; I politely suggested some quick googling.
“Student-ready college” is one of those phrases I’ve heard so many times that I was surprised to learn that it’s only a few years old. It comes from the book Becoming a Student-Ready College, which just came out in a second edition. (The first edition was in 2016.) The authors, Tia Brown McNair, Susan Albertine, Nicole McDonald, Thomas Major Jr. and Michelle Asha Cooper, position the book as a prod to college leaders to change the conversation on campuses. The idea is to move from the model of “college-ready students” to a model of “student-ready colleges.” The deeper idea is to be intentional about baking equity into the culture and operations of colleges.
The book is structured around sets of questions designed to spur reflection and action. The assumptions underlying the questions revolve around the recognition that students don’t exist in a vacuum. Uneven academic preparation often reflects economic and racial segregation as much as talent or hard work. Real inclusion—not just the absence of conscious exclusion—is a choice that has to be made over and over again. Opportunity gaps are functions of much larger forces, rather than signs of irredeemably flawed students.
The theme of equity underlies most of the analysis. How can we ensure that all students are treated with respect and given a real chance at success, even if they haven’t been treated that way before? Since the book is set in the United States, it focuses primarily on race.
That’s an obviously valid choice, but in order to maintain an encouraging tone, the authors are forced into a certain abstraction. A couple of pages after citing Brookdale’s statement on shared governance, they note in passing that “the literature on higher education reform does not have an abundance of advice for evidence-based approaches that lead with values and community value formation …” (64). Well, yes, and there’s a reason for that. Values are defined differently by different people, even if they use the same words. Words like “equity,” “diversity,” “academic freedom,” “excellence” and “opportunity” carry multiple (and sometimes conflicting) meanings. Mission statements, like constitutions, can be read to serve any number of agendas. That’s particularly true when they intersect with material interests, real or perceived.
I kept waiting for the book to delve into those conflicts, but it didn’t. It did offer a few examples of the kinds of statements that leaders of reform will sometimes hear in opposition, but it didn’t go much deeper than that. I wish it had; it seemed a missed opportunity. It might have made for a much longer and less upbeat book, but also a more useful one. Given that the authors themselves embrace pragmatism—to their credit—I would think an analysis like that would complement the work nicely. To overcome resistance in a respectful way, you need to understand it. Here, the nature of resistance is taken as given and obvious. It’s neither.
To be fair, though, this is almost more of a workbook, or a set of prompts, than an analysis. It’s designed to help “flip some orthodoxies” (177) to help colleges better serve the students they actually have and the ones they will actually have. That’s a crucial task, grounded in an ethical imperative. Going from questions—very good ones—to answers requires a messiness beyond the scope of this book. Our students deserve respect, and they deserve institutions that help them thrive and develop into the best versions of themselves. The phrase “student-ready college” may be largely aspirational, at this point, but it’s a worthy aspiration. As good a phrase as it is, though, I’d love to see it eventually retired on the grounds that it’s redundant.

Back to Work, Not Back to Normal
Accused harasser John Comaroff’s first week back teaching at Harvard was met with a walkout, and other developments in the related lawsuit against the university.
John Comaroff, Hugh K. Foster Professor of African and African American Studies and Anthropology at Harvard University, is teaching again this month following a two-year administrative leave related to sexual misconduct allegations against him.
Comaroff denies all the allegations, which include forced kissing, groping, inappropriate comments and retaliation. Prior to his one-term suspension last spring, which followed a lengthy administrative leave, Harvard inquiries found Comaroff responsible for “verbal conduct” that violated community norms, not clear sexual harassment or retaliation. Challenging Harvard’s findings and process, three graduate students filed a civil lawsuit, which is ongoing.
Harvard’s graduate student union objected to Comaroff’s scheduled return to teaching this fall in a grievance and a petition saying, “We reject the widespread norm in which senior academic figures who jeopardize or end the careers of their junior colleagues through misconduct and retaliation are themselves subject to only mild and brief professional consequences, and are indeed supported by their peers.”
According to information from the union, Harvard did not meet with leaders regarding the grievance or the petition.
When Comaroff did begin to teach this week, multiple students staged a class walkout, which was followed by a union-led rally on campus. (Harvard’s graduate student union is affiliated with the United Auto Workers.)
“Professors who harass shouldn’t be in class!” students refrained.
Comaroff will not be allowed to teach required courses, take on additional graduate students or advise students who don’t have another co-adviser, or chair any dissertation committees through this academic year, per Harvard’s resolution of the Title IX case. His sole course this term is an elective, on the anthropology of law. Not all students who walked out of class were enrolled in the course, and not all students walked out.
Harvard declined comment on the protest. Comaroff’s lawyer, Ruth O’Meara-Costello, previously said of the petition to cancel Comaroff’s class, “It is shocking that an employee union is calling for a Harvard employee to be summarily punished and cast out of the university community based upon allegations that the university’s process found him not responsible for or that have never been investigated.”
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Harvard are Margaret Czerwienski, Lilia Kilburn and Amulya Mandava, all graduate students in anthropology who worked with Comaroff. Mandava and Czerwienski say that Harvard showed “deliberate indifference” to their concerns about Comaroff allegedly pushing another graduate student into a sexual relationship. They also allege that Comaroff threatened Mandava to stop talking about him, lest she and Czerwienski would have “trouble getting jobs.” Kilburn says Comaroff groped her and kissed her without consent, and that he warned her “graphically” about the sexual assaults she might endure as a consequence of traveling to parts of Africa with her own same-sex partner. (Comaroff admits to having this particular conversation with Kilburn, but he says that he was giving her important advice.)
Criticizing Harvard’s overall response to complaints about Comaroff, the lawsuit says the end result was “predictable.” The lawsuit—which has since been updated to include additional allegations of misconduct going back decades, prior to his time at Harvard—alleges, “Shortly after he arrived at Harvard, the university received repeated complaints of sexual harassment, including forced kissing, groping and offensive—even violent—sexual comments by Prof. Comaroff.”
Legal Developments
Harvard is the sole defendant in the case, which is rooted in Title IX, the federal law prohibiting gender-based discrimination in federally funded education. The university moved to dismiss the lawsuit this summer. In so doing, it filed a motion for summary judgment for one of the counts involving an unusual claim by Kilburn that Harvard’s Title IX office obtained her psychotherapy records without her consent and shared them with Comaroff. (In Title IX cases, both the accuser and accused have access to evidence, even such sensitive information as therapy records, so the key allegation here is that Harvard did not get Kilburn’s consent to obtain the records.)
Harvard’s motion included emails between Kilburn and the Title IX office in which Kilburn included her therapist on a list of potential witnesses for investigators to contact. Also included was an affidavit from a senior investigator at Harvard, who said that Kilburn verbally told a member of her staff that the therapist "should have a bunch of notes or memories for you." The investigator said that Kilburn was further told, “We ask every single witness if they have documents that are relevant, which we share with you," and that she responded, "Got it."
The university pointed to this as clear evidence of consent, and a major hole in the lawsuit overall. Russell Kornblith, one of the women’s lawyers, told Inside Higher Ed that Kilburn only named her private therapist as a potential witness after Comaroff questioned her reliability as a narrator, and she sought to show that she’d only sought counseling in the first place due to Comaroff’s alleged behavior. Kilburn did not speak with her therapist after listing her as a witness to avoid potential witness tampering, Kornblith said, and she was not aware that Harvard had not only contacted the therapist but obtained her therapy records until she received a redacted copy of those records as part of the investigation. Kilburn found out shortly thereafter that Comaroff had received them, as well, and was now using her medical history to discredit her, Kornblith said.
In any case, Kornblith said, Title IX requires a signed release to obtain medical records, “and you better believe that if Harvard has a signed release from our client, they would have produced that front and center in their filing.” He accused Harvard’s legal team of “cherry-picking from a mountain of evidence” and suggested that the full Title IX case record—which Harvard wants to keep sealed, citing privacy concerns—tells a more complete story.
In seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, Harvard also has argued in court documents that it is “only potentially liable for its own allegedly retaliatory actions,” not for retaliation by its employees.
This week, the Justice Department filed an amicus brief in the case challenging that assertion.
“Harvard’s claim that it is immunized from liability for the retaliatory acts of its own faculty members lacks support in the applicable law,” the brief says. “In fact, the relevant case law instructs that: (1) retaliation is a form of sex discrimination prohibited under Title IX; (2) unlawful retaliation may be carried out by the employees of a federal-funding recipient; and (3) the recipient may be found liable for damages under Title IX for such retaliation where it amounts to an official act or policy of the recipient, or where the recipient is on notice of such retaliation and is deliberately indifferent to it.”
Harvard declined comment on the brief. The plaintiffs celebrated the development, with Czerwienski writing on Twitter, “This is a huge deal for us and all others who think schools like Harvard should be held responsible for their indifference to retaliation by faculty and others. This is one reason we filed this case in the first place.”
Kornblith said, “We’re glad to see the government affirm that Harvard cannot skirt responsibility for the retaliatory actions of its faculty.”

Money Flows to Carnegie Mellon's Campus in Rwanda
A $275 million investment in the only U.S. university in Africa aims for a continentwide impact, but the campus’s ties to the Rwandan president have cast a pall over the news.
Carnegie Mellon University–Africa in Kigali, Rwanda, is the only American campus on the entire continent. The graduate school has offered two-year master’s degrees through CMU’s renowned college of engineering since 2011.
Yesterday, CMU, the Rwandan government and the MasterCard Foundation announced a “transformational” $275.7 million investment in the institution, and in higher education development across Africa.
According to a statement from the university, $175 million of the foundation’s investment will go to expanding engineering and technology education programs at the Kigali campus and to funding the institution “in perpetuity,” in part by establishing over 300 scholarships and aiming to grow the university’s annual enrollment by more than a third.
The other $100 million will be used to establish the Center for the Inclusive Digital Transformation of Africa, a hub for a network of at African universities across the continent that will receive funding for faculty development, cutting-edge technology and engineering programs, and other initiatives. As of now there are seven universities participating in the program; CMU hopes to grow that to 10.
The MasterCard Foundation—whose work is focused on empowering youth in Africa and Canada’s Indigenous populations—began funding scholarships for CMU-Africa in 2016 and has been involved with the institution ever since.
In March, the university received the last installment of a 10-year, $95 million deal with the government, which, until now, had been largely responsible for funding the college. CMU-Africa director Allen Robinson said the MasterCard Foundation’s investment will help sustain the program well into the future, ease the funding burden from Rwanda’s government and allow CMU-Africa to transition to need-blind admissions.
“Our mission is to be as inclusive as possible,” Robinson said. “The Rwandan government has gotten us this far, but this partnership is crucial to letting us grow and continue our work.”
But CMU-Africa has been followed by a cloud of controversy over its partnership with a Rwandan government led by president Paul Kagame, who has been accused of a litany of human rights abuses.
Jeffrey Williams, an English professor at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, said he opposed CMU’s partnership with the Rwandan government.
“These are not fly-by-night political arguments; these are serious charges,” he said. “From an intellectual and moral standpoint, we have to ask the question, what do we want to attach ourselves to?”
From ‘Modest’ Beginnings to Continental Ambitions
CMU-Africa was established as CMU-Rwanda in 2011 as a partnership between the Rwandan government and the Pittsburgh-based university renowned for its engineering and technology programs.
Bruce Krogh, a retired professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon, was CMU-Africa’s director for its first six years. He described moving to Kigali in 2011 to lead the college when it was a small graduate program of just 24 students—23 Rwandans and one Kenyan—housed on two floors of a government-owned telecommunications building across the street from the U.S. ambassador’s house.
In 2019 CMU-Africa moved into a new $10 million campus financed by the Rwandan government. Last year, the college enrolled over 150 students from more than 20 African nations.
“It was very modest relative to where it is now,” Krogh said. “When we began with Rwandan students, Carnegie Mellon did not have a recognizable name on the continent … Now it has this presence and visibility and is attracting applicants from all over Africa.”
“I think the vision from the start was to be pan-African in our reach,” Robinson said. “CMU is definitely interested in having a global impact; this is part of our global strategy. CMU-Africa is a unique opportunity for us to have impact in ways that other universities, which are focused in other regions of the world, don’t.”
Partners in Development
In addition to the increased funding for CMU-Africa, MasterCard’s commitment to fund a network of initiatives in higher education at existing African universities will enable the program to expand its reach and help CMU realize its vision of global impact, Robinson said.
While CMU’s is the only U.S. campus in Africa, other American institutions have sought to invest in higher education on the continent by working with local institutions. Michigan State University, for one, has a long history of partnerships and investments in African higher education, often in conjunction with U.S. government agencies but always in collaboration with universities on the continent, such as the University of Nigeria Nsukka. Amy Jamison, co-director of MSU's Alliance for African Partnership, said these collaborations are essential to making sure higher education investments are both sustainable and equitable.
“Higher education development used to be, the Global North leads and Africa follows. That’s not the case anymore, and it can’t be the case,” Jamison said. “We really have seen the development of in-country partners have an impact on the ground.”
Fabrice Jaumont, the education attaché to the French embassy in the U.S. and the author of Unequal Partners: American Foundations and Higher Education Development in Africa (Palgrave-MacMillan, 2016), said that in the heyday of Western funding for such initiatives, investments in African higher education tended to be concentrated in wealthier, English-speaking countries such as South Africa and Nigeria.
“The money only went to a happy few,” he said. “Intentions were good, but they were creating an elite group of universities in Africa that got all the funding.”
Jaumont said that investments from foundations in African higher education peaked in the early 2000s and have waned over the past decade. But he said the growth of the tech sector and computer science, areas where CMU prides itself on being a leading name, has led to renewed interest from foundations like MasterCard—and, he hopes, more equity in their investments.
“Higher education investments can be engines of development if done collaboratively with African partners,” he said. “This is a good sign … now is a good time to return to this.”
A Deal With a Dictator
When CMU-Rwanda was first announced, the initiative drew as much criticism for its partnership with Kagame’s government as it did praise for its groundbreaking nature.
Kagame, who took power after the Rwandan genocide in 1997, is sometimes hailed as heroic for his part in ending the atrocities of the mid-’90s. But despite his stature as a darling of Western business and governments, accusations continue to haunt him and his Rwandan Patriotic Front, from allegations of assisting in the mass killing of Hutu refugees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to imprisoning, intimidating and even assassinating political opponents.
A group of CMU students in Pittsburgh protested the opening of the Kigali campus in 2011, and a coalition of human rights groups wrote an open letter to then CMU president Jared Cohon expressing concern over the “human rights abuses and threats to democracy” they allege had been carried out by Kagame’s government.
David Himbara says he witnessed those abuses firsthand. He worked for Kagame from 2000 to 2002 and again from 2006 to 2010, first as his principal private secretary and then as a senior policy adviser. He wanted to use his education and experience as an economic consultant to help rebuild his native country, but he said Kagame became more aggressive and controlling over the course of his time working under him.
In 2008, Himbara said, Kagame demanded that he go along with a manufactured economic growth statistic of 11 percent, an impossible number for the small country in a time of global recession. That same year, Himbara said, he saw Kagame personally beat two government employees for questioning him. Himbara, disillusioned and frightened, fled.
“At that point, the gloves had come off,” he said. “I decided to leave and never come back.”
Himbara now lives in self-imposed exile in Canada, where he says he still fears retribution or even assassination by Kagame’s men. His brother, Kagame’s former head of security, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2013, which Himbara believes was retaliation for his own criticism.
When he heard about CMU’s partnership with the Rwandan government a year after fleeing, Himbara—who attended Southern University in Louisiana and had possessed a belief in the righteousness of Western higher education—said he was “shocked.”
“I had no idea that universities could be so opportunistic,” he said. “It’s a totalitarian state. These people at Carnegie Mellon, have they no shame?”
Robinson noted that Carnegie Mellon, as a nonprofit, does not net any money from the CMU-Africa initiative, and he said the university’s interest in the project is purely impact-driven.
“There are a lot of problems to be solved in Africa, and universities can play a big role in that,” he said. “We believe this is the right thing to do.”
Both Krogh and Robinson also noted that CMU didn’t come up with the idea for its Kigali campus.
“CMU did not choose Rwanda; Rwanda chose CMU,” Krogh said. “The university is enjoying a unique opportunity initiated by the government.”
Himbara, who was working for Kagame when the idea was first floated in 2007, believes the Rwandan president had an ulterior motive in seeking out CMU as a partner: not jobs and education for his people, but prestige for his government through Western investment.
“Kagame collects stars to help make him shine,” he said. “Carnegie Mellon was part of this.”
“We’re partnering with the government of Rwanda, not with Kagame,” Robinson said when asked about the criticism. “Our mission is to educate students in Africa and to solve African problems, and the Rwandan government has been one of our important supporters to achieve that mission.”

Ukrainian Students Costly for Slovakian Universities
A new wave of enrollment is expected this fall, even as the institutions face deep budget cuts.
Universities in Slovakia have said that years of multimillion-euro cuts mean they will not be able to accept Ukrainian students this autumn, when a wave of enrollments is expected.
Since the start of the Russian invasion, only a couple of hundred students from Ukraine have managed to enroll at universities in neighboring Slovakia, joining the roughly 7,000 who were there before the war, Mária Čikešová, secretary general of the Slovak Rectors’ Conference (SRK), told Times Higher Education. But there have been costs in supporting siblings fleeing Ukraine who joined existing students in university accommodation, and a much greater number of Ukrainian students is expected to enroll this month.
“Universities are now announcing that their resources to help Ukrainian students and academics are running out,” the SRK said in a statement, citing cuts of 45 million euros ($44 million) to the higher education budget in both 2021 and 2022, and a projected cut of €27 million ($26 million) in 2023. “Without additional funds from the state budget, public universities will no longer have funds for scholarships, free accommodation and meals for Ukrainian students in the new academic year.”
The Slovakian education ministry has not responded to queries from Times Higher Education on whether it intends to cancel the 2023 cuts or provide extra funding for 2022 to cover hosting and teaching costs.
Most of those who have enrolled since Russia’s February invasion are women taking language courses in preparation for further study in September, said Čikešová, with the majority of Ukrainian students studying in Košice, less than two hours’ drive from the Ukrainian border.
Jana Mojžišová is the rector of the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice. The public university teaches any students who pass its entrance exams, with tuition funded by the government. Her university had 34 students from Ukraine before the war, with 20 joining since.
She said “many more” students from Ukraine are preparing to study in Slovakia in the coming academic year because they have had the time since February to meet admission requirements, with more than 1,000 of them at universities in Košice alone.
“If the government would provide us with the funds to hire more teachers and create infrastructure, we can accept more students,” she said, but she added that without extra funding, her institution would have to cut back on staff in the coming years, hurting teaching quality.
Mojžišová said hosting each student costs the university at least €300 ($297) per month, including €60 for a shared dormitory room and €100 for basic canteen meals.
Ukrainians have taken jobs cleaning the university’s animal hospital to help cover their costs, she added.
Some Ukrainian parents have sent their children to stay in dorms with older siblings studying at the university. Under government rules, the university can claim back funds for supporting these refugee siblings, but not for Ukrainian students enrolled at the university.
Mojžišová said that the rectors’ conference and individual universities had all petitioned the government for extra funding, without success. She said some Ukrainian students would probably have to drop out if they have to pay for their living costs, because of the difficulty of holding down a job during such an intensive course.
The prospects of action in time for the coming enrollment wave look unlikely, with the current coalition government teetering on the brink of collapse.

Outcry at UVA Over Controversial Board Member
The new board member at the University of Virginia is an appointee of the Republican governor and the latest example of the increasing political polarization of higher education in the state.
Reckless. Insulting. Reprehensible. Beneath the bare minimum.
That’s how the University of Virginia’s student government, student newspaper and a student group, the University Democrats, have described a new member of the university’s Board of Visitors, Bert Ellis, in separate but critical statements over the last several months. They see Ellis, CEO of a private equity firm and president of the conservative UVA alumni organization the Jefferson Council, as a threat to the progress the university has made in recent years. All three groups have called for Ellis’s resignation.
“As the University continues to grapple with its history of slavery, racism, and eugenics, Mr. Ellis’ appointment is not only regressive, but also directly insulting to countless students and student organizations who have worked relentlessly to make Charlottesville more equitable,” the University Democrats wrote in a statement co-signed by the Democratic Party of Virginia.
Both Ellis and Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin, who appointed Ellis, have thus far resisted calls for his removal from the board. Ellis was one of the Republican governor’s first four appointees to the university’s governing board this summer. A majority of the 17-member board could be Youngkin appointees within the next two years. Board members serve four-year terms under appointments by the governor that are subject to confirmation by state lawmakers.
“Our school is a place for the ‘development of the full potential of talented students from all walks of life,’ not a battleground for alumni to harass students and wage an ideological war,” the University of Virginia Student Council Executive Board wrote in a statement that made reference to an incident that involved Ellis confronting a student.
Youngkin has dismissed reporting by the student-run newspaper, The Cavalier Daily, that documented how Ellis helped to bring eugenicist William Shockley to campus in February 1975 for an academic debate while Ellis was a student and a chairman of the University Union, the group that organized events for students. (UVA was the intellectual home of Virginia’s eugenics movement in the early 20th century.) Ellis also denied a request from what was then the Gay Student Union in March 1975 to co-sponsor a talk by gay rights activist Frank Kameny, according to Cavalier Daily archives.
“It’s [homosexuality] not an issue viewed highly in the University,” Ellis told the paper. “It would not help the University Union’s position and prestige.”
Youngkin told The Washington Post that he hadn’t seen the articles but suggested Ellis’s actions in the 1970s shouldn’t be judged by today’s standards.
Ellis and Youngkin did not respond to requests for comment.
Some current students say Ellis’s more recent behavior is disqualifying for membership on the governing board. Ellis has criticized efforts at UVA to make the campus more inclusive and derided a student-run effort earlier this year to reform the university honor system and add other sanctions, other than expulsion, for violations.
“This is our only opportunity to change/reverse the path to Wokeness that has overtaken our entire University,” Ellis wrote in a post on the Jefferson Council’s website. “Meanwhile, we still have a ton of work to fight the ongoing and continuing onslaught by the entrenched DEI bureaucracy at UVA.”
When Ellis took issue with a profane poster on a student’s room door in 2020, he decided to take matters into his own hands. The student wrote “Fuck UVA” on the poster, which faced the university’s quad, along with other criticisms of the university.
Ellis described in a post on a conservative blog how he traveled to Charlottesville to talk with the student who wrote the comment on the poster and brought a small razor blade with him to remove the offensive language. Two public safety ambassadors stationed near the room told Ellis that using the razor would be considered malicious damage of university property and a violation of the student’s First Amendment rights. Ellis subsequently did not use the razor.
“Whether or not Ellis used his blade, whether or not Ellis threatened the student directly, his conduct is reprehensible,” the UVA student council statement says. “Ellis’ erratic behavior and blatant disregard for students’ wellbeing is unbecoming of University leadership and has no place in our University community.”
Other statements and newspaper editorials against Ellis have also mentioned the razor-blade incident.
Eva Surovell, editor-in-chief of The Cavalier Daily, said what’s happening at UVA is an example of the battles being waged over public education policies and campus culture wars across the country.
“We’re just not unique in that really conservative voices are nostalgic for a time when women, when Black people and when other people of color were either banned or much less of a population here at UVA,” she said.
Walter Heinecke, president of UVA’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said he’s heard concerns from faculty members about Ellis’s appointment and how it could affect academic freedom on the campus. The chapter has not yet adopted a formal position, but Heinecke expects the issue to be discussed at an upcoming meeting.
“From my own personal point of view, not representing the AAUP chapter, I am concerned about this issue, and I fully support the students’ concerns as well as the actions that they deem necessary to correct the problem,” Heinecke said.
During his campaign for governor, Youngkin didn’t offer many specifics on his plans for higher education. But since his inauguration, he has pushed for more control over the state community college system’s search for a new chancellor, told college presidents to hire faculty “with diverse political perspectives” and asked all public colleges and universities to roll back planned tuition increases. Only UVA didn’t acquiesce to that request—a decision Youngkin called “disappointing,” according to The Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Youngkin’s attorney general also fired the top lawyers at UVA and George Mason University shortly after the governor took office.
Jon Becker, a professor of higher education leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University, said the newly politicized climate at UVA is not unique and that other state higher ed institutions are also experiencing similar dynamics under Republican governors aggressively going after university policies and practices with which they disagree and administrators and faculty they deem too liberal.
“We are seeing in other states, state-level officials, governors and others who are taking an unusually high level of interest in university governance and university affairs,” he said. “Places like Florida, where they are getting involved in the hiring and firing of faculty members. While we’re not quite there in Virginia, one does start to wonder if this is part of an effort by Governor Youngkin and others to take more control of the affairs of universities in ways that governors hadn’t in the past or state officials hadn’t in the past.”
Public colleges and universities in Virginia are overseen by their respective governing boards rather than a statewide agency. Becker said this decentralized system makes the board appointments more important.
“The boards of each institution are very important and have important work to do, and so they need to be able to do it with as much credibility as possible,” he said. The Board of Visitors will hold its first full business meeting with the four new appointees next week.
Becker said Ellis’s appointment seems “not well vetted and thoroughly considered” and that the controversy over it could disrupt the functioning of the board, overshadow its work and undermine its credibility.
“Boards have really important work to do, especially these days when finances are tight,” he said. “They have a real important fiduciary responsibility to the university, and you want their work to be done with as much credibility as possible.”

$100K Scholarship Could Become Issue in Mayoral Race
A scholarship worth nearly $100,000 could become an issue in the Los Angeles mayoral race, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The scholarship was awarded by the University of Southern California to Representative Karen Bass for a master's degree in social work. Bass, a Democrat, is the favorite in the mayoral race.
The same scholarship was awarded to former L.A. County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas and the former dean of USC’s social work program, Marilyn Flynn, who were indicted on bribery and fraud charges.
Federal prosecutors have made no indication that Bass is under a criminal investigation. But prosecutors have now said that Bass’s scholarship and her dealings with USC are “critical” to their bribery case.
By awarding the scholarship to Bass in 2011, Flynn wanted to obtain the congresswoman’s assistance in passing legislation, prosecutors wrote in a recent court filing. Bass later sponsored a bill in Congress that would have expanded USC’s and other private universities’ access to federal funding for social work—“just as defendant Flynn wanted,” the filing states.
Bass denied wrongdoing. “Everybody knows that the welfare of children and families has been a passion and policy focus of mine for decades,” she said. “The only reason I studied nights and weekends for a master’s degree was to become a better advocate for children and families—period.”

An Alleged ‘Pretendian’ Professor Resigns
Emily Carr University in Vancouver, Canada, hired Gina Adams, an American artist, in 2019 as part of a national effort to recruit more Indigenous students and faculty members to higher education. But Adams, who publicly claimed to have an Ojibwe grandfather who was forced into a residential school, resigned last month amid allegations that she’d faked her Indigenous heritage, according to the Vancouver Sun. “Emily Carr University takes very seriously the allegations that a member of our faculty made a false claim to Indigenous identity,” the university said in a statement, confirming Adams’s resignation. It promised to review its hiring policies to “align with our deep commitment to reconciliation.”
Allegations that Adams was a “pretendian,” or someone falsely claiming Indigenous ancestry, surfaced last year on an anonymous Twitter account. According to the tweets by @NoMoreRedFace, Adams’s grandfather was not Ojibwe from Minnesota but a white French-Canadian man named Albert Theriault who was born in Massachusetts. An investigative report published this week in Maclean’s arrives at the same conclusion. (The article was written by Michelle Cyca, a member of the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and former communications staff member at Emily Carr.)
Adams, who by 2021 was an assistant dean at Emily Carr, initially circulated a statement to select colleagues saying that her grandfather was indeed Theriault, but that he was of Chippewa: Ojibwe-Lakota descent, according to Maclean’s. She reportedly later applied to the White Earth Nation but was rejected because none of her relatives could be found in their database. A heritage statement on Adams’s website says that “I have been transparent about my lineage throughout my life. I am Ojibwa by descent only and not enrolled. My continued research on our ancestry is ongoing, and private to be shared with only myself and my family.” Earlier this summer, Queen's University in Canada apologized for a case involving six alleged pretendian professors there. And last year, a curator at Simon Fraser University in Canada resigned amid questions about her stated Indigenous identity.

High School Students Optimistic About the Future
Current high school students are optimistic about their chances of experiencing future life outcomes, including having a well-paying career, owning a home and enjoying good health, according to a new report from ACT. The report also suggests that students believe they have many positive things to look forward to despite the challenges and stress of the pandemic.
High school students were generally optimistic about the future, with an average rating of 4.01 on a 1-to-5 scale, aligned with the scale’s “high” chances category, and more than 80 percent of students reporting high levels of optimism that their lives would turn out well over all.
Black students had higher estimated chances of experiencing future outcomes, on average, than did students in other racial/ethnic groups. Irrespective of family income, Black students reported the highest estimates, on average, of the chances of having a better life than their parents had or of their children having a better life than they have had.

Oberlin Pays Out $36.6M in Long-Running Legal Case
Oberlin College will pay out $36.6 million to Gibson’s Bakery, closing a chapter in a legal battle that began in 2017 when the local business accused the university of damaging its reputation.
The legal case stemmed from a shoplifting incident in 2016 that led to student protests and accusations of racism, with administrators joining in and the college cutting business ties with the bakery. Gibson’s sued and won $44 million for libel and other charges, though the court later reduced the amount. Last month the Ohio Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Oberlin, bringing an end to the long-running and locally divisive legal battle.
Oberlin announced in a press release Thursday that it had initiated payment to the plaintiffs.
“We are disappointed by the Court’s decision. However, this does not diminish our respect for the law and the integrity of our legal system,” Oberlin officials said in a news release. “This matter has been painful for everyone. We hope that the end of the litigation will begin the healing of our entire community.”

PEN America Slams Missouri AG’s Request for J-School Emails
Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt is misusing the state’s open records law to violate academic freedom and chill the speech of journalists by requesting emails from University of Missouri journalism school professors, PEN America, a free speech and literacy organization, said in a statement Thursday.
The Columbia Missourian reported last week that the state attorney general’s office had requested emails through the state’s sunshine law from two professors regarding their partnership with PolitiFact. The professors worked as editors at the Missourian, which the university supports financially.
“Attorney General Schmitt’s request for the emails of two journalism professors appears to be little more than an effort to intimidate and silence both university faculty and the professional journalists with whom they correspond,” Jeremy C. Young, senior manager of free expression and education programs at PEN America, said in the statement. “No government official should request copies of a faculty member’s emails unless there is clear evidence of malfeasance.”
Young called on Schmitt to rescind the request immediately.

Princeton Ups What It Gives in Aid
Princeton University announced a major expansion of its financial aid program on Thursday. Under the expansion, most students who have family incomes up to $100,000 will not pay Princeton anything. And those with family incomes of up to $150,000 will owe only $12,500. The sticker price for tuition and room and board at Princeton is more than $75,000.
Previously, all students were expected to contribute $3,500 (a charge that has been eliminated), and families with incomes of $65,000 to $90,000 had to contribute $8,500.
Princeton is also making other changes. For example, the university will increase from $3,500 to $4,050 the annual personal and books allowance used in financial aid packages. Additionally, Princeton will make it possible for the students with the highest financial need to bring two guests (typically family members) to campus for first year move-in and for senior year commencement.

SUNY College Will Pay $5.2M to Fix Software ‘Disaster’
The Erie Community College Board of Trustees has approved spending $5.2 million to replace WorkDay, an enterprise resource planning system, according to The Buffalo News. College officials told county legislators that the system had cost the college over $12 million in platform and consulting fees over the last five years. When college officials introduced WorkDay in 2017 under then president Dan Hocoy, they had expected it to save the institution $3.7 million in subscription fees over 10 years.
“WorkDay has been a disaster, and a very expensive disaster,” Erie Community College consultant William Reuter told The Buffalo News. Reuter served as interim president before the current president, David Balkin, who told county legislators that the platform was not salvageable, according to The Buffalo News. The college intends to replace WorkDay with the Banner planning system.
WorkDay declined to comment.
Erie Community College has faced years of declining enrollments. In July, Balkin, who was five months into his presidency, implemented two rounds of layoffs totaling 150 positions, according to The Buffalo News.

University Boards: Divest From Uyghur Genocide
University governing boards should answer their students’ call and divest from Chinese companies complicit in genocide against Uyghurs, Keith Krach writes.
Dear university governing board members,
American institutions of higher learning are the envy of the world and have always stood for academic freedom and been invaluable advocates for human rights.
More than a year ago, I wrote to you in my former capacity as under secretary of state about the real and urgent threat to that ideal posed by the authoritarian influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This threat has broad implications for ensuring academic freedom, honoring human dignity, protecting university endowments and safeguarding intellectual property. I wrote that as a former board chairman of a major university, I recognized that, when addressing a strategic issue of this magnitude, the responsibility sits squarely on the shoulders of every board member and trustee.
Also, as a former CEO of public companies and nonprofit organizations, I wrote a similar letter to the CEOs and boards of all American companies as well as one to the leaders of civil society groups urging them to divest from Chinese companies that are “involved or complicit with CCP’s human rights abuses, the surveillance state and military-civil fusion.” Many Chinese tech companies are involved with the surveillance state and military-civil fusion. Furthermore, a 2020 report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute revealed “new evidence that some factories across China are using forced Uyghur labor under a state-sponsored labor transfer scheme that is tainting the global supply chain.” The report identified 82 foreign and Chinese companies—including many well-known brands—found to be “potentially directly or indirectly benefiting from the use of Uyghur workers outside Xinjiang through abusive labor transfer programs as recently as 2019.”
In my final letter as a public servant, I wrote the leaders of civil society organizations, saying,
My experience in the business, education and government sectors tells me that there is tremendous power in uniting those sectors as a force for good if we are all armed with the truth. The world is watching, and the integrity of our democracy and educational institutions is in our hands. Whether in the public sector, private sector, or as an everyday citizen, I look forward to continuing to work together to protect the freedoms we all hold dear.
In that same spirit of partnership, I now write to you as a private citizen in view of recent developments that affect your moral obligations and fiduciary duties as a trusted board member of your university.
Determination of Punishable Genocide
My previous letter highlighted the CCP’s human rights abuses designed to eradicate the ethnicity and religious beliefs of Uyghurs and other Muslims in the mass internment camps of the Xinjiang region of China.
Since that time, the U.S. government has officially declared the Chinese government’s abuses in Xinjiang genocide, determining in January 2021 that China’s governing authorities “are engaged in the forced assimilation and eventual erasure of a vulnerable ethnic and religious minority group.” Around the world, the CCP’s atrocities against the Uyghurs have been recognized as genocide by lawmakers in the Czech Republic, France, the United Kingdom and a growing number of other countries.
Grassroots Divestment Movement Answers the Call
The bipartisan Athenai Institute, a student-founded nonprofit, has responded to this call for divestment from malign Chinese companies by organizing a grassroots movement that is rapidly spreading across college campuses nationwide. In its recent letter to the presidents and governing boards of U.S. flagship public universities, the institute brought together an ideologically diverse coalition of political leaders, human rights groups and leading student groups, including the College Republican National Committee and the College Democrats of America, in calling for divestment.
Students from Cornell, Georgetown and George Washington Universities and the Universities of Virginia and California, Los Angeles, are already mobilizing toward divestment from firms complicit in atrocities against the Uyghurs. Last year, the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., began an audit of its endowment holdings for any companies complicit in human rights abuses against Uyghurs after the student government unanimously passed a resolution calling on the university to divest its financial holdings connected to the genocide in Xinjiang. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Karna Lozoya, Catholic University’s vice president for university communications, said the university is working with a shareholder advisory firm, Institutional Shareholder Services, “to identify any company involved in or benefiting from human rights violations, including Uyghur exploitation … At this point, the search has not identified a company in which the university invests that is known to be involved in or benefit from Uyghur exploitation.”)
Reminiscent of Antiapartheid Movement
This student-led divestment movement is reminiscent of the antiapartheid movement that spread to 155 colleges after students at Hampshire College persuaded its trustees to divest all holdings of companies doing business in South Africa.
The college-based antiapartheid movement eventually led to 90 cities, 22 counties and 26 states taking a stand against the South African government. As a result, many public pension funds were required to sell South African–related assets. As the divestment movement gained worldwide notoriety, Congress took various actions against the South African apartheid regime.
Congress Joining the Movement
Mark Twain said, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.” Just as they did during the antiapartheid divestment movement, members of Congress are beginning to target university endowments invested in the Uyghur genocide.
Recently, U.S. Representative Greg Murphy, a Republican from North Carolina, said, “Our colleges and universities which have been given a tax-free status do not need to be investing in this nation that wants to see our downfall.” Legislation he plans to propose would target private universities with endowments topping $1 billion, including Duke, Harvard and Yale Universities and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, disincentivizing them from investing in “adversarial entities” listed on U.S. government sanction lists. He also sent a letter to the 15 private universities with the largest endowments asking them to purge their investment portfolios of “entities that are supporting the imprisonment of Uyghur Muslims or aiding the Russian Federation’s horrific invasion of Ukraine.”
Universities Are Trusted Institutions
American universities are among the most trusted institutions in the world. We trust universities to uphold our values as free people, including the academic freedom that comes with it. In contrast, the CCP targets institutions like yours in order to plunder intellectual property, spread propaganda and help finance its human rights abuses.
This is your chance to ensure our universities stand for higher principles by deploying the power of the purse. American universities have some $800 billion in total endowments, so their commitment to divestment would not be merely symbolic but would have a real and genuine impact.
The grassroots Uyghur genocide divestment movement is growing, and, as trusted leaders, we have the opportunity and the obligation to stand with our students. The leadership of the College Republicans and the College Democrats summarize this calling best: “In the fight against authoritarianism, universities can continue to benefit from the largesse of an emboldened authoritarian state, or they can stand on the right side of history. They cannot do both.”
Keith Krach previously served as U.S. under secretary of state and chairman of the Board of Trustees at Purdue University. He is the former chairman and CEO of DocuSign and Ariba and currently serves as the co-founder and chairman of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue.

When I was a kid growing up in Orange County, I often found myself riding past the headquarters of the famous Trinity Broadcasting Network — an enormous circular building that resembled the bottom tier of a wedding cake. It was a spectacularly tacky sight, an example of the excesses of the "prosperity gospel" — the belief that extravagant wealth is a sign of God's favor. Having been raised in a modest Baptist church, I'd been taught early on to sneer at this notion and all the televangelists and other religious hucksters who upheld it.
In recent years, the movies have also taken on the prosperity gospel, sometimes with a sneer, and sometimes with a measure of sympathy. Jessica Chastain recently won an Oscar for her barbed yet heartfelt portrayal of Tammy Faye Bakker in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. And now, in the uneven but entertaining comedy Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul., Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall give wonderfully complex performances as a disgraced Christian power couple trying to salvage what remains of their spiritual empire.
Brown plays Lee-Curtis Childs, the pastor of a Black megachurch in Atlanta that, at its peak, boasted 25,000 congregants. Hall plays his steadfast wife, Trinitie Childs, who's chosen to stand by him through a humiliating scandal that drove away their flock and forced their church to close. Now, after some time away from the spotlight, the two are ready to resurrect their ministry.
Lee-Curtis hires a documentary filmmaker to follow him and Trinitie as they prepare to reopen their church on Easter Sunday. He hopes that the resulting film will paint them in a forgiving light.
Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. was written and directed by Adamma Ebo, who adapted it from her earlier short film of the same title. Her twin sister, Adanne Ebo, is one of the producers. We see a lot of that mock-documentary footage as it's being shot. Lee-Curtis and Trinitie lead the camera crew on a tour of their church, which features a room with gilded thrones for the pastor and his wife to sit on and a private closet filled with Lee-Curtis' expensive, colorful suits.
It's both fun and a little depressing to watch these two constantly performing in front of the cameras, but also revealing more of themselves than they realize. One minute they're praising God to the heavens, and the next they're cursing up a storm when something doesn't go their way. Trinitie learns that a rival Black church — led by a younger, hipper couple, played by the actors Conphidance and Nicole Beharie — is also planning to launch on Easter Sunday. The fate of their own reopening looks grim, especially when Trinitie keeps running into former friends who want nothing more to do with her, her husband or their church.
The two leads are terrific in these mockumentary scenes. As Lee-Curtis, Brown radiates swaggering charisma and energy, while Hall is all nervous chuckles and side glances as Trinitie tries to keep it together for the cameras. But the actors reveal even deeper emotional layers away from those cameras. One remarkably intimate moment takes place in the couple's bedroom, where we get a sense of the deep cracks in their marriage. And that's before we learn the more sordid details of Lee-Curtis' scandal.
As satire, Honk for Jesus is both blunt and broad — but then, as the movie shows us, so is the megachurch tradition it's skewering. And while Adamma Ebo certainly pokes fun at her protagonists, she never denies them their humanity. It's clear enough that a happy, redemptive ending isn't in the cards for Lee-Curtis and Trinitie, but even still, the characters find ways to keep surprising and even moving us. Hall, an outstanding dramatic actor as well as a skilled comedian, gets a doozy of a monologue in which she finally peels away her glossy exterior and unleashes a genuinely anguished cry from the heart. Trinitie Childs may not be a character you can trust, but in these moments, Hall's performance is truly something to believe in.

When federal student loan borrowers take a breath from celebrating the cancelation of some or all of their federal student loans, millions of them could be in for a nasty surprise:
While President Biden's sweeping student debt relief won't be subject to federal income tax, in seven states borrowers may have to pay state income tax on all those canceled loans.
Before 2021, student debt cancelation was generally considered a form of income, and therefore taxable both at the federal and usually state level. But in March of 2021, the American Rescue Plan changed that, at least temporarily: Until the end of 2025, Congress said, the U.S. government will not consider canceled student loan debts to be taxable income.
Now that the Biden administration has unveiled its sweeping new debt cancelation plan, this federal exemption is a really big deal. That's because most places follow the federal government's lead when it comes to income tax.
"The majority of states that have an income tax essentially say, 'Whatever the federal government says is gross income, we say the same thing,' " explains John Brooks, a Fordham University professor who studies both tax policy and student loan law.
But seven states are out of step with federal tax policy and have either said they will tax debt relief or still have policies that could require it, barring a change in state law.
States where borrowers may be taxed for loan cancellation
1. North Carolina
Like most states, North Carolina conforms to federal tax law. What's interesting here is that the state decided, in spite of Congress, to tax student debt relief.
In a statement, the North Carolina Department of Revenue tells NPR the state's General Assembly chose not to adopt the federal student debt tax exemption. "The Department is monitoring any further enactments by the General Assembly that could change the taxability of student loan forgiveness in North Carolina," a spokesperson says.
But for now, it's taxable. And the Assembly has given no indication it will change that.
2. Indiana
Like North Carolina, Indiana tends to follow federal tax policy, but has similarly chosen to break with Congress on this. Tax officials there have confirmed (to the AP) that residents will be expected to list any debt relief they receive under taxable income.
3. Mississippi
Now things get more complicated. Unlike most states, Mississippi doesn't follow federal tax policy, so the changes in the American Rescue Plan don't mean much there. That's no guarantee they will ultimately tax debt relief; it just means that, right now, there's nothing on the state's books to exempt canceled loans.
As such, Mississippi's Department of Revenue has reportedly confirmed that under current state law, student debt relief is taxable.
4. Arkansas
Like Mississippi, Arkansas' tax policies don't follow federal policy, so, again, there's no obvious exemption on the books there to protect debt relief from being taxed. But... Arkansas has not yet said it will tax these canceled loans.
In an email to NPR, a spokesperson for the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration says, "Our Department is currently reviewing whether debt forgiveness in this scenario is subject to state income tax in Arkansas. If we determine this is indeed subject to state income tax, legislative action would be required to change/exempt it. The next session of the Arkansas General Assembly is scheduled to begin in early 2023."
5. Minnesota
Now the murky gets even murkier. While most states mirror federal tax policy, some are simply out-of-date, like Minnesota. It conforms to federal policy that pre-dates the American Rescue Plan, going back to 2018, when debt relief was still considered taxable.
The fact that Minnesota could technically tax debt relief is not an intentional response to the news, says Jared Walczak of the Tax Foundation. Walczak advises state leaders on tax policy and has been paying close attention to this income tax conundrum.
"They did not go through with this saying, 'Well, if President Biden makes this policy enactment, we are going to tax this.' This is just the continuation of existing law. It's where pretty much every state would have been a year ago."
But most states have updated their policies, Walczak says. Minnesota and a handful of other states, "because of the quirks of their tax codes, have not. That is something they could potentially fix."
Minnesota's Democratic governor tried to fix it, introducing a tax bill during the last legislative session that would have brought the state up-to-date, "however, that legislation was not passed so Minnesota is currently out of conformity with federal law in that area," a spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Revenue writes in an email to NPR.
"If the state does not conform to this federal law, then Minnesota taxpayers who have their student debt discharged will have to add back this amount for Minnesota income tax purposes."
6. Wisconsin
Like Minnesota, Wisconsin also conforms to outdated federal tax policy, in this case from 2020, just a few months before the ARPA exempted student debt relief.
"It hasn't updated it since then," says Brooks at Fordham University, "which is not to say that they don't want to. It just doesn't seem to be an immediate priority right now in their legislative calendar." Brooks says that's in part because the federal debt relief action is still brand new.
Both Minnesota and Wisconsin could still update their state tax policies and choose to exempt student debt relief. Though any changes would need to happen by early 2023, before tax season, or last-minute tweaks could lead to widespread confusion.
7. California
Believe it or not, it's possible this Democratic stronghold could find itself having to tax millions of Californians who qualify for Biden's debt relief plan – because the state conforms to federal tax policy from 2015, according to the Tax Foundation. It does have tax exclusions on the books for some specific kinds of debt relief, like loans canceled through an income-based repayment plan, but, depending on whom you ask, it's either unclear or unlikely that those can be applied to Biden's recent announcement.
In an email to NPR, a spokesperson for the California Franchise Tax Board says they can't yet say if debt relief in California will be taxable because they need more information from the U.S. Department of Education. "We are saying the loan forgiveness (i.e., cancellation of indebtedness) would be taxable in California UNLESS this federal student loan debt is repaid or canceled pursuant to 1098e of Title 20 of the United States Code."
Secret decoder ring: That section of the tax code refers to debts discharged through income-based repayment plans. And, says Walczak, "I can't imagine any scenario in which [debt under the Biden plan] would be forgiven under those sections."
In other words, California leaders will likely need to take some additional action if they don't want the state taxing millions of student loan borrowers there.
How much income tax borrowers may have to pay
President Biden's loan forgiveness plan would cancel up to $10,000 in debt for individuals who earn less than $125,000 a year, or less than $250,000 a year for couples; and it would cancel up to $20,000 for borrowers who received a Pell Grant in college and meet those income requirements.
Assuming a hypothetical state income tax rate of 5%, a borrower who receives $10,000 in debt cancellation would be on the hook for $500 in state income tax, and a borrower who receives the Pell-eligible $20,000 in relief could have to pay as much as $1,000 to the state.
That may be a high bar for some borrowers. After all, this relief is a debt reset; it's not a windfall of dollars that can then be used to pay off an unexpected tax liability.
"A lot of people anticipate some amount of return and really depend on that at the end of the year to get that money back. So if that gets wiped out, I could see that really disrupting people's financial planning," says Colin Stroud, who lives in Madison, Wisc., and says he qualifies for $10,000 in debt cancellation.
Stroud says, while he can afford the added tax bill if it comes to that, "I just don't understand why you would want to spring this on people. I don't know what is gained by it."
Also, while we're talking about only a handful of states, this is not only a handful of borrowers.
According to federal data from March 2022, almost 8 million federal student loan borrowers live in just these seven states, and the vast majority likely qualify for debt relief.
What borrowers should know about filing their taxes
There's one more reason this muddle could cause yet more confusion come tax time:
The U.S. government has instructed student loan servicing companies not to mail a federal 1099-C form to the millions of borrowers who receive debt relief. This matters, a lot.
In the past, the 1099-C form has been sent not only to borrowers who receive debt relief, notifying them of their tax burden, but also to state tax authorities.
This year, though, because debt relief is not considered taxable income at the federal level, the U.S. government won't be sending out 1099-C forms. That's because if 40 million borrowers receive a form suggesting they owe federal income tax on their debt relief, when they don't, "that would confuse the heck out of a lot of taxpayers," Brooks says.
But without this 1099-C form, it's state tax authorities who'll be confused.
States that want to collect income tax on these canceled student debts won't have a clear way of knowing who got help and who didn't. Tax preparers and tax preparation software can ask borrowers if they received debt relief, and borrowers will have a legal responsibility to answer truthfully, but, without that 1099-C, states will have to rely on the word of borrowers.
Brooks and Walczak both say many borrowers might not report their debt relief as income – not because they're trying to commit fraud but because it simply wouldn't occur to them that it would be taxable, since they're not being asked to pay federal income taxes.
"This is difficult. This is new. People aren't necessarily expecting it, and especially if you don't have documentation being sent to you like you would with just about any other form of debt discharge. It's putting people at a disadvantage," Walczak says.
"If borrowers don't report it," Brooks says, "the state tax agencies don't know that there was cancellation. Everybody just moves on, and it doesn't actually get taxed at the state level in a practical sense, even if the state law says that it should be."
Brooks and Walczak recommend borrowers in these states stay tuned.
It's possible, perhaps even likely, that, given these complications, one or more of these states will update their tax policies in the coming months and follow Congress' lead after all.

At age 96, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday at her Balmoral estate in Scotland, after 70 years on the throne. (Story first aired on All Things Considered on Sept. 8, 2022.)

As King Charles III begins his reign as Britain's new monarch, focus turns to how he may use his position as head of state to promote causes that he's been passionate about for decades — the environment and climate change, in particular, as well as other philanthropic efforts.
Throughout her 70 years on the throne and up until her death on Thursday, as monarch, Queen Elizabeth II sought to maintain strict political neutrality, going so far as not to vote.
And while Charles has been careful not to tread too publicly, he does have a history of wading into politics, something over which some British officials have voiced concern that he may be more willing to do as king.
Climate change has long been a focus for Charles
Nowhere has Charles been more outspoken than the threat posed by climate change. Last year, speaking at the opening ceremony of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, he warned that the time for addressing climate change had "quite literally run out."
In order to tackle the problem, he said, "We have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing."
For Charles, a passion for the environment dates back decades. In an interview posted to the Royal Family's website in 2020, he recalled how as a teenager he began to feel increasingly alarmed by "the destruction of everything ... all this sort of white heat of progress and technology to the exclusion of nature and our surroundings, and also this complete determination to defeat nature and to suppress everything to do with it."
"I seem to remember minding an awful lot about it," he said.
Charles has reportedly not been shy about promoting his views on the environment, among other topics, in private letters to government ministers dubbed "black spider memos," an apparent reference to his scrawled handwriting. The letters addressed everything from the U.K.'s involvement in the war in Iraq to the availability of herbal alternative medicines.
In the 1980s, Charles, then the Prince of Wales, also famously clashed with the "Iron Lady" herself — former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — who reportedly pushed back on his efforts to influence her government's policies around urban renewal.
Thatcher rebuffed his efforts to get her to meet with leaders from a community program that Charles helped found. Author Howard Hodgson, writing in his biography Charles – The Man Who Will Be King, said Thatcher "believed that this would obviously provide her opponents with the valuable point that the Prince of Wales, although supposed to be politically neutral, was in fact opposed to Thatcher and her uncaring policies," according to Express.
He has also been vocal about immigration policy
Earlier this year, Charles was seen as making a thinly veiled criticism of a controversial new immigration policy from the government of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson that sends all asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing. In his Easter message in April, Charles referred to the "unutterable tragedy" of those who've been "forced to flee their country and seek shelter far from home," saying they are "in need of a welcome, of rest, and of kindness." In private, he reportedly described the policy as "appalling."
One unnamed senior Cabinet official quoted by The Sunday Times said: "Prince Charles is an adornment to our public life, but that will cease to be charming if he attempts to behave the same way when he is king. That will present serious constitutional issues."
In response to the controversy, representatives for the prince issued a statement reiterating that as monarch, Charles would remain "politically neutral."
One cause that Charles may be able to promote without straying too far from neutrality is the Prince's Trust, which he founded in 1976. According to Vanity Fair, the trust reportedly pioneered the concept of micro-credit — small loans that have been used to help more than 50,000 disadvantaged youths to start their own business.
His actions will be closely watched
Whichever direction he goes, the king's actions will be closely followed, and are all but assured to invite comparisons to the record established by Queen Elizabeth. Following the asylum policy kerfuffle earlier this year, Michael Cole, a former royal correspondent for the BBC, said in an interview that as king, Charles will need to be "careful" with voicing political opinions.
"[The] Queen has never put a foot wrong in this way," he said.
"He must take great care and perhaps he ought to have around him," Cole said, "people who actually see these tiger traps and makes sure he walks around them and not straight into them."

Sarah Cameron Sunde, an interdisciplinary artist, was visiting Maine in 2013 when she noticed something in an ocean inlet. The tide was coming in quickly and completely covered a rock, making it disappear within 30-40 minutes.
It was her eureka moment, the inspiration she had been looking for since Hurricane Sandy devastated her adopted hometown of New York City a year earlier.
The tides struck her as the perfect metaphor for sea level rise, quickly transforming the shoreline in a matter of hours the way climate change will, to a much greater degree, over decades.
Three days later, after some planning and preparation, she returned to the inlet for a "durational performance." Sunde began standing at the edge of the water at low tide, and, in front of other artists from the retreat she had been attending, she continued to stand until the water rose up to her neck. She stayed until the next low tide, nearly 13 hours total.
"I had a moment that I remember very clearly where I was feeling the vastness of the water," Sunde said in a recent interview. "You know, it sounds a little bit cheesy to say, but I was feeling really connected to people on the other side of the planet."
Standing in that cold Maine water, Sunde decided that if she could last the entire tidal period, it wouldn't just be a one-off performance. She'd produce a series of events in coastal locations around the world to demonstrate the threat of climate change.
"There was a moment where I was like, you know, I'm this privileged person," she recalled. "If I'm feeling this this deeply, what are other people feeling—in the Global South especially? How are they dealing with it? And so, I felt like I had to know and understand and learn that."
Sunde has performed her project in eight other locations around the world. Above is a time lapse video of her in Kenya in 2019.
Sunde, supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship and a number of other grants, has since performed her work in places as far flung as Bangladesh, Kenya, New Zealand and the Netherlands. Her ninth and final performance is scheduled for Sept. 14 in New York City.
Planning, planning, planning
As her series has progressed, her "stands," as she calls them, have become increasingly complex. At each location, she gets involved with community members in some sort of environmental initiative. She now livestreams the productions and shows the videos later in art museums and elsewhere. And at the same time that she'll be standing in the water in New York City, collaborators in some of the other places she's performed will be doing their own stands, more or less simultaneously.
Preparations can be lengthy. She has to figure out where she should place herself so spectators can have the best view—in New York City, where she'll be standing on the Queens side of the East River, she wants to get the Manhattan skyline in the frame behind her. And, of course, she also needs to figure out how deep to go in the water so it will rise all the way to her neck at high tide—but not above her mouth.
At a practice stand in late August, a member of Sunde's team, Bella Gallo, unfurls a long rope and sits on a log on the narrow strip of beach where the event will take place. Using a compass to determine the angle, and different knots in the rope to determine the distance, they can determine exactly where she should be at low tide to create the best visual effect.
"I've learned tidal predictions are only predictions. Nothing is guaranteed," Sunde says with a laugh. "That's why I come here a lot. Because when I'm out here all the time, that's how I get to know her, this collaborator of mine—the cove."
Meanwhile, an artist and friend of Sunde, Pamella Allen, is searching for artifacts she can use in an accompanying art work that she'll create on land. A detached buoy that's come in and out with the tides over the past several months catches her eye.
"The buoy will be a central part of it," Allen says. "It keeps coming back. So, it feels like it's a touchstone between the water, the land and the people."
Another team member, Christopher Bisram, grew up nearby and does outreach for Kin to the Cove, a community group Sunde organized that's been conducting beach clean-ups.
"My mom would come a bunch of times with me and I just thought it was a dirty beach," he says. "And then Sarah kind of brought in this awareness of, it's human beings that kind of caused this and we can fix it. So if we just work towards fixing it, then it can happen, right?"
Putting herself out there
Over the course of the afternoon, passers-by look over the seawall to watch Sunde's team and try to make sense of what they are doing. Some of them end up agreeing to help out and show up on the day of the performance, either to watch or stand in the water with her.
"It sounds very daring," says Christopher Calderhead, a neighborhood resident. "You're exposing your body to the elements and sometimes there's a wake, which makes waves in this cove. So, you're taking whatever nature's going to hand out to you and you've got to stay put."
The physical aspect of the work is clearly part of its power. Sunde was 36-and-a-half-years old when she performed her first stand in Maine. (The name of her project is "36.5: A Durational Performance with the Sea.") Now, she's 45. So, to prepare, she is doing yoga, watching what she eats, and taking pains to make sure she'll be free on the day before the performance.
"I'm obsessed with telling everyone that the 13th is a rest day," she says. " I'm 99 percent sure something's going to happen that I'm going to have to deal with, but I'm really trying to hold it as a rest day."

In early 1990, when Mikhail Gorbachev’s efforts to liberalize Soviet life were in full flower, I was on a journalistic exchange with a Russian newspaper, Moscow News, at the apex of the glasnost (“openness”) campaign.
When the news broke of Gorbachev’s death, my mind flashed back to the excitement of those days in 1990, and to the lost dreams of my Moscow News colleagues, who had hoped for a “normal” country. Instead, most of those journalists — who became editors, anchormen, and reporting stars in the 1990s — have now been silenced by Vladimir Putin’s media crackdowns, or fled the country after his invasion of Ukraine.
Gorbachev’s death and Putin’s refusal to attend his funeral illuminate a frightening reality: The Russian leader wants the world to know he is the anti-Gorbi.
Not only has Putin restored repression at home, but he seeks control over the countries that were the former Soviet empire. And unlike Gorbachev, who rejected the use of force to hold the empire together, Putin is willing to invade his neighbors and use nuclear threats to intimidate them — and the world.
So rather than enumerate Gorbachev’s failures, it is important to focus on his achievements — and how Putin seeks to reverse them.
Of course, one major achievement was Gorbachev’s opening up of information access to the Russian people. Before glasnost, restless Russian journalists were confined to using so-called Aesopian language, ambiguous terms that hinted of criticism but were designed to avoid censorship. At every newspaper, a government KGB intelligence officer sat in a special office — at Moscow News, right next to the room I worked in — and reviewed all the copy.
But by the time I arrived at Moscow News, they had more freedom, so every issue was an adventure, trying to unmask topics that journalists had never been able to cover, from scandalous conditions in government-run maternity hospitals, to revelations about the KGB, to debates on privatizing the economy.
In 1993, Gorbachev even helped found a leading independent newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, with part of his 1990 Nobel Peace Prize money. This newspaper paid a huge prize for its independence. Since Putin became president in 2000, six of its journalists and contributors have been murdered, including top investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya. They are among the many journalists and opposition figures killed, poisoned, or jailed under Putin.
Novaya Gazeta suspended publication after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, along with virtually all independent media outlets inside Russia.
Russian news now consists mainly of vitriolic state propaganda that convinces the public that Ukraine is run by Nazis who want to destroy Russia with the help of NATO. The public appears to buy the propaganda (which ignores Russian losses and blames Kyiv for Russian murder of civilians).
This enables Putin to continue his brutal, imperial war.
Contrast that with one of Gorbachev’s greatest achievements: He didn’t believe in using force to maintain an empire.
Although he intended only to restructure the Soviet Union, turning it into a federation of equally sovereign states, he unintentionally triggered the transformation of 15 Soviet republics into independent states. Yet the Soviet leader seemed to recognize that reluctant republics could no longer be ruled by Moscow’s armies or diktat.
Gorbachev also refused to use force when the Berlin Wall fell to maintain control of East Germany and keep Warsaw Pact countries under Moscow’s domination. “He was convinced that the time to resolve issues of the world order by force had passed,” wrote Dmitry Muratov, editor of Novaya Gazeta (and himself a 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winner), in a tribute.
Putin, on the other hand, has famously called the Soviet breakup the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the (20th) century.” Referring to that collapse on the day he invaded Ukraine, he declared: “We lost confidence for only one moment, but it was enough to disrupt the balance of forces in the world.”
Putin’s attempt to seize and/or destroy Ukraine is an effort to restore that “balance of forces” — by military might.
Imagine how different the 20th century might have been had Putin been ruling in 1989.
Muratov also cited perhaps Gorbachev’s greatest achievement. “He gave both the country and the world an incredible gift — he gave us thirty years of peace without the threat of global and nuclear war.”
Gorbachev worked successfully with Ronald Reagan on nuclear arms control, effectively ending the Cold War. “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” both men proclaimed in 1985 in a joint statement at a Geneva summit.
Putin, on the other hand, uses the nuclear threat as blackmail. He and Kremlin mouthpieces have repeatedly raised the threat of nuclear war to deter the United States and NATO from helping Ukraine.
Russian troops have been using captured Ukrainian nuclear reactors to raise the specter of an atomic disaster. They have finally permitted U.N. inspectors to reach the endangered plant in Zaporizhzhia but may not allow them to do their vital work there.
Gorbachev’s death reminds us that Putin is indeed his polar opposite when it comes to world peace and nuclear safety.
The West should be under no illusions that catering to Putin’s demands on Ukraine will change the behavior of this dangerous man. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/column-after-gorbachev-s-death-putin-wants-the-world-to-know-he-is-the-anti/article_237c4930-2eec-11ed-bec2-3350e1edea74.html | 2022-09-09T09:35:44Z | yakimaherald.com | control | https://www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/column-after-gorbachev-s-death-putin-wants-the-world-to-know-he-is-the-anti/article_237c4930-2eec-11ed-bec2-3350e1edea74.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
To the editor — Letter-to-the-editor writers are divided into two groups: those who divide people into two groups, and those who know life isn’t that simple.
A recent letter writer claimed there are only two types of political leaders: “Those who want to control people, and those who think people should be left alone.”
Experience suggests otherwise. The vast majority of us want to assist our neighbors when they are wronged or they need help, and we all want to live our lives quietly when our choices don’t harm others.
Our concept of civilization is based on the belief that we accomplish those goals — preventing harm and helping those in need — by mutually working together.
Government, in other words. America’s self-governance is based on the rule of law.
We all pay a price when somebody chooses to violate the rule of law. Allowing them to be “left alone” weakens our communities and places others at risk. Read the daily news.
The letter writer describes the “better” type of leaders as “typically surly or quiet curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism” who “make way better neighbors. And they will actually let you alone.”
Until they break the law. Then we all suffer.

Backups are usually beneficial when law enforcement officers arrive at an active crime scene, and we’re betting they’re a big help when it comes to negotiating the release of federal funds, too.
That’s why an unprecedented joining of forces involving the Yakama Nation and Yakima County to seek additional resources for public safety seems like sound police work to us.
The two governments issued their plea on behalf of the Yakama Nation Tribal Police and the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office, both of which are struggling to find enough officers to keep the public safe.
Yakima County commissioners signed off on the joint request this week, and a letter requesting federal resources is on its way to U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, along with U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse.
“Specifically,” the three-page letter says, “we ask for your help in securing existing and future federal funding to hire and equip additional law enforcement officers to police the significant territory within our respective jurisdictions and develop a regional crime lab to avoid the monthslong backlog at the state crime lab.”
The letter also includes some details on the local landscape — how the two law enforcement offices are working together more closely, and how both agencies are outgunned when it comes to hiring. Potential new officers can get more lucrative offers elsewhere, making it tough to fill local openings, and even tougher to keep up with rising crime on vast stretches of rural land.
Asking for the help can’t hurt — the federal government hasn’t been stingy in the past year or two, granting Yakima County $48.8 million via the federal American Rescue Plan.
Less than two months ago, county commissioners granted Sheriff Bob Udell’s request for $2.8 million of that money to go toward establishing a regional crime lab. The lab should go a long way toward reducing devastating wait times for evaluating evidence and giving police technical tools to predict and break up certain crime patterns.
But having enough officers to keep the peace around here might be even more critical.
So whether our state’s delegation can help secure any additional federal help or not, we applaud the creative and collaborative thinking of Yakama Nation and Yakima County leaders.

Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday afternoon after being placed under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle. Senior members of the royal family rushed to be by her side.
The Queen was the longest reigning monarch and celebrated her Platinum Jubilee earlier this year to celebrate her 70 years of service. On Tuesday, she met with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and new Prime Minister Liz Truss.
Her passing is an event of huge national importance. As such, a set of arrangements for what happens after she dies has existed for some time.

A strict schedule has been prepared by officials at the Palace and in government. The plans, named Operation London Bridge and Operation Unicorn, are already being put into action.
Today (September 9) will mark 'D-Day' as defined within the schedule - with the coming days to be referred to as D-Day plus the number of days that have passed since her death, Mirror reports.
The seismic cultural and historical impact of the Queen's death also means that some other areas of life, such as sporting events and entertainment, will also be altered over the next 12 days of official mourning.
Here is a run down of the key changes expected on Friday.
King Charles III meets Liz Truss and officials
King Charles III and Camilla have told how they plan to return to London today. The new King will have an audience as monarch with Prime Minister Liz Truss as soon as practically possible.
The new King is also scheduled to meet the Earl Marshal – the Duke of Norfolk – who has been placed in charge of the accession and the Queen’s funeral, to approve the carefully choreographed schedule for the coming days.
Charles will decide on the length of court or royal mourning for members of the royal family and royal households. The Government will confirm the length of national mourning.
Public commemorations
Bells will toll at Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral and Windsor Castle, and gun salutes – one round for every year of the Queen’s life – will be fired in Hyde Park and at other stations.
The King is set to make a pre-recorded televised address to the nation. He will pay tribute to the Queen and pledge his duty to his service as the new sovereign. The Prime Minister and senior ministers will attend a public service of remembrance at St Paul’s in central London, with the event planned to appear as if impromptu.
TV schedule changes
BBC One has also replaced its entire schedule for Friday with rolling local and national news. BBC Breakfast is the only show to be broadcast in its normal timeslot from 6am to 10am.
Good Morning Britain aired on ITV at 6am as usual, hosted by Susanna Reid and Ben Shepherd, while an extended ITV News special will fill the schedule for the majority of the day from 9am until 8:30pm.
Cancelled strikes
Royal Mail workers were set to take part in a 48-hour walkout, starting today. The action, organised by Members of the Communication Workers Union, was planned due to dispute over pay and conditions.
However, the industrial action will no longer take place due to the Queen's passing. General secretary Dave Ward said: "Following the very sad news of the passing of the Queen and out of respect for her service to the country and her family, the union has decided to call off tomorrow’s planned strike action."
Football postponed
Two football matches - Burnley v Norwich City in League One and Tranmere Rovers v Stockport County in League Two - which were set to take place today have been postponed. The EFL is yet to confirm whether the weekend's full fixture list, including games on Saturday and Sunday, is to be postponed.

ARQuesta Del SolSoul has a big goal. As they state on their Bandcamp page, the group wants to "decolonize and spacetime bend indigenous sounds."
“And we represent voices that perhaps aren’t necessarily in the limelight,” said percussionist, vocalist and songwriter Jessica Ayala. “So it’s beautiful to be able to have people who support us say ... ‘I see myself,’ or ‘I feel like I’ve been heard.'"
Their new self-titled album, released on Aug. 16, starts with a celebratory tone. But it doesn’t take long for the six-piece ensemble to delve into tough conversations about race, immigration and more.
In fact, that’s the intention of ARQuesta Del SolSoul, which performs a mix of Afro Latino music, hip-hop, R&B, soul and spoken word.
"To me, it's always been about the live show," said producer and vocalist Les Izmore. "Recording is alive, but it ain't as alive as coming to see us play, feeling the sweat, getting to smack hands or something like that."
Izmore and percussionist Brad Williams, who calls himself the "general vibe curator," are longtime collaborators in groups like the Afrobeat party band Hearts of Darkness and The Buhs.
Ayala sings and performs spoken word in Loose Park with the Kansas City Rumba Collective on Sundays in the summer, as well as with the Latino Writers Collective.
She first connected musically with Izmore and Williams in 2018.
“It just so happens that the three of us were creating music in a living room,” said Ayala. “And that grew from us starting to meet at the Mutual Musicians Foundation, and continuing to create vibes, curate vibes.”
“From there, we invited others to be a part of the process ... a part of the experience,” she added.
ARQuesta Del SolSoul launched in 2019. These days, the ensemble includes Izmore, Ayala, Williams, as well as Chalis O'Neal, Hadiza, and Jade Green, also a member of The Black Creatures.
They take inspiration from a long list of musicians and artists, including Sun Ra, Fela Kuti, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Duke Ellington, Nina Simone — even sci-fi writer Octavia E. Butler.
Izmore, a “freestyle king,” describes the collective as “African futurist genre-benders.”
“We’re continuously trying to build communities and unite communities and create a new world, and trying to end this world that we are living in now,” he said. “So we're making revolutionary music. We're talking about stuff with substance.”
Ayala’s family moved from Colombia, in South America, to Kansas City in the early 1980s, when she was 3.
“What we are doing in our band is reclaiming and taking up space and showing up, just as the ancestors wanted us to show up,” she said.
She’s also worked as a community organizer, and three of the songs on the new album — "HUELGA," "Mama No LLores," and "REINA" — are drawn from her collection of poetry titled “Huelga,” which means “strike” in Spanish.
“As to the beauty of what's happening is in this group,” Williams said, “even though the music sounds fun and you may be even able to move and dance to it, like, the realities of the words are like very much poignant and important.”
He said the music is a way to keep people thinking about issues that impact people of color disproportionately, like deportation, safe drinking water and oil pipelines through tribal lands.
For the song “Six Second Sunz,” Izmore used a midday storm on a gloomy day as inspiration. He wrote it while sitting on his front porch at 55th Street and The Paseo in Kansas City, Missouri.
“(The) sun popped out,” Izmore said with a snap of his fingers. "That's an inspiration, that's a positive thing. Like — hey, you know! — in the dark comes a light. ... If you don't know the dark, you don't even know yourself.”
“So we're pushing that in the world,” he laughed, “the dark matter-type stuff. This is a cosmic music collective.”
It's a reminder, Izmore said, that there’s always space for change and creation. Lucky for fans, ARQuesta Del SolSoul plans to continue exploring those themes through their music.
ARQuesta Del SolSoul will perform at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Plaza Art Fair, and during SolSoul Fest at 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 30 at Lemonade Park, 1628 Wyoming St., Kansas City, Missouri 64102. | https://www.kcur.org/arts-life/2022-09-09/kansas-citys-cosmic-music-collective-wants-to-free-your-mind-with-revolutionary-beats | 2022-09-09T09:48:47Z | kcur.org | control | https://www.kcur.org/arts-life/2022-09-09/kansas-citys-cosmic-music-collective-wants-to-free-your-mind-with-revolutionary-beats | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
