HOUSTON — Michael Lorenzen pitched into the sixth inning in his return to the Angels’ starting rotation and Mike Trout hit a home run for the fifth consecutive game, but the Houston Astros did most of their scoring in the late innings and handed the Angels a 4-3 loss on Friday night at Minute Maid Park.
The Astros trailed by one entering the seventh when Trey Mancini led off with a single. Chas McCormick then connected for a two-run home run off Andrew Wantz (2-1) to put Houston ahead, 3-2.
Jeremy Peña hit a solo homer in the sixth and the Astros added an insurance run in the eighth when McCormick drew a bases-loaded walk off José Marte.
Closer Ryan Pressly allowed a solo homer to Taylor Ward with one out in the ninth before striking out the next two batters to get his 26th save in his return from the injured list after being out since Aug. 22 with a neck strain.
Houston starter Lance McCullers Jr. (3-1) gave up four hits and two runs with six strikeouts in a season-high seven innings for his second straight win.
The only damage the Angels did against McCullers was a two-run homer by Trout that made it 2-0 in the sixth. The five straight games with a home run is the longest streak of his career and ties a franchise record.
“He hasn’t hit well in this park,” interim manager Phil Nevin said. “So to see him get one out of here was nice.”
Trout tied Bobby Bonds, who did it from Aug. 2-7, 1977, for the longest streak in Angels’ history. It was Trout’s 33rd homer to tie him with teammate Shohei Ohtani for second-most home runs in the American League behind New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, who has 55.
The Astros had managed just one hit off Lorenzen when Peña homered into the seats in right field to cut the lead to 2-1 with one out in the sixth
Lorenzen allowed three hits and one run with four walks in 5-2/3 innings in his return after missing 56 games with a strained right shoulder.
“I thought his stuff was good,” Nevin said. “He made some really good pitches tonight against a really good lineup and that was good to see.”
He struggled with control early and his third walk of the second inning loaded the bases with two outs. But Martín Maldonado grounded into a force out to allow Lorenzen to escape the jam. He walked Alex Bregman to start the fourth, but still faced the minimum in that inning when Bregman was caught stealing for the third out.
The Astros didn’t get a hit until McCormick singled to start the fifth inning. He was erased when David Hensley grounded into a double play before Lorenzen retired Maldonado to end the inning.
“We kind of came out a little slow offensively, but that’s why you get the full nine innings to get the bats going,” McCormick said. “The home run felt really good, swing felt really good and I was happy about the win.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak was reinstated from the injured list before Friday’s game. He had missed 29 games with a fractured middle finger on his left hand. … Right-hander Touki Toussaint was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake City and outfielder Ryan Aguilar was designated for assignment to make room for Moniak and Lorenzen on the roster. … Catcher Max Stassi was removed from the game in the seventh inning as a precaution after taking a foul tip off his mask.
UP NEXT
Angels (RHP Shohei Ohtani, 11-8, 2.58 ERA) at Astros (RHP Jose Urquidy, 13-5, 3.51 ERA), Saturday, 4:15 p.m., FOX (Ch. 11), 830 AM

HONOLULU (KITV4) - Hawaii Blood Bank currently has just one-day supply of the universal donor or O-blood which is supposed to be used only for emergencies. According to the organization, most of the population in Hawaii is eligible to donate blood but only 3% of them do.
The director of Donor Services, Fred McFadden said there is a need for between 150 and 200 donors daily to maintain a healthy blood supply. He also said blood usage is increasing because many hospitals are back at full capacity.
"We need blood for burn victims, cancer patients and new mothers. What we need the community to know is blood is needed at so many different times throughout the course of our lives," said McFadden.
He said numbers decrease in the summer and on holidays. Before labor day weekend, they had less than half a day supply of type-O blood.
One frequent blood donor said giving is the easiest way to save several lives.
"I almost died 17 years ago so I feel like I’m alive to help other people. That’s the main reason I’m here every few weeks. We should all put aside time to help so many people this way,” said Wayne Morith, blood donor.
Officials said there are several ways to donate your blood depending on your health. If you're interested in donating or have questions on your eligibility, contact the Hawaii Blood Bank.

Actor Megan Hilty on Wednesday said her pregnant sister, brother-in-law and nephew were on a charter floatplane that crashed Sunday near Seattle.
“To make this news even more devastating, my sister was eight months pregnant and we were expecting to welcome baby boy Luca into the world next month,” the “Smash” star said in an Instagram post that was accompanied by a photo of her sister, Lauren, her brother-in-law, Ross, and her nephew, Remy.
The Coast Guard on Tuesday released the names of the passengers and the pilot who are presumed dead after the de Havilland DHC-3 Otter floatplane went down off Whidbey Island, about 40 miles north of Seattle. In addition to Hilty's relatives, the agency identified the pilot as Jason Winters and the remaining passengers as Patricia Hicks, Sandra Williams, Luke Ludwig, Rebecca Ludwig, Joanne Mera and Gabrielle Hanna.
The Coast Guard called off the search for survivors Monday, saying in its statement Tuesday that it offers its “deepest sympathies to those who lost a loved one in this tragedy.”
Hilty said that the last three days have “been the worst of our lives.”
“There are truly no words to appropriately convey the depth of our grief,” she wrote, adding the last thing she wanted to do “was acknowledge this painful family tragedy publicly.”
“Lauren and Ross left behind my niece who we are all holding in our hearts. Thankfully, she was not on the plane and we ask that her name and personal information be kept private as she is a minor,” she added.
Hilty concluded her statement by writing that the outpouring of love and support has meant so much to everyone in her family.
“It has been so comforting to know just how loved Lauren, Ross, Remy and Luca truly are,” she wrote.
Ross Mickel was the founder of the Ross Andrew Winery. The Mickel family said in a statement to NBC affiliate KING of Seattle that their “grief is unimaginable.”
“We are deeply saddened and beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved Ross Mickel, Lauren Hilty, Remy and their unborn baby boy, Luca,” the statement said. “Our collective grief is unimaginable. They were a bright and shining light in the lives of everyone who knew them. Although their time with us was too short, we will carry their legacy forward.”
The Washington State Wine Commission said in a statement that the wine community will miss Ross Mickel. “We are deeply saddened by the news about Ross Mickel and his family. Ross had an incredible impact on the Washington wine community and he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his loved ones as they navigate this extraordinarily difficult time.”
The National Transportation Safety Board will conduct an investigation into the accident. A spokesperson told KING the probe could take 18 to 24 months. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/actor-megan-hiltys-sister-brother-in-law-and-nephew-were-among-the-10-victims-in/article_d1e3fc64-30c4-11ed-b668-233fa6aa6a5a.html | 2022-09-10T06:01:53Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/actor-megan-hiltys-sister-brother-in-law-and-nephew-were-among-the-10-victims-in/article_d1e3fc64-30c4-11ed-b668-233fa6aa6a5a.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily allowed an Orthodox Jewish university in New York to deny official recognition to an LGBTQ student group, the latest in a series of decisions in favor of religious rights.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a brief order granted an emergency request made by Yeshiva University, which claims that recognizing the group would be contrary to its sincere religious beliefs. Sotomayor has responsibility for emergency applications arising from New York.
The dispute is the latest clash between religious rights and LGBTQ rights to reach the high court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority.
Friday's decision puts on hold a decision by a New York state judge, who ruled in June that the university was bound by the New York City Human Rights Law, which bars discrimination based on sexual orientation. The university argues that it is a religious institution and therefore should be exempted from the law. Requiring it to endorse the group would be a “clear violation” of its rights under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment, which protects the free exercise of religion, the university argues. Sotomayor said the lower court ruling would remain on hold "pending further order" of the Supreme Court, suggesting the court could issue a more detailed order in the coming days.
"Yeshiva shouldn’t have been forced to go all the way to the Supreme Court to receive such a commonsense ruling in favor of its First Amendment rights. We are grateful that Justice Sotomayor stepped in to protect Yeshiva’s religious liberty in this case," said Eric Baxter, a lawyer at the religious liberty legal advocacy group Becket, which is representing Yeshiva.
The Pride Alliance group, which first sought recognition in 2019, sued in April 2021, saying the university was required to grant its request because it is a place of public accommodation that is covered by the anti-discrimination law.
Katherine Rosenfeld, a lawyer for Pride Alliance, said Friday that the group "remains committed to creating a space space for LGBTQ students" on campus and would await final action from the Supreme Court.
Yeshiva, which describes itself in court papers as “a deeply religious Jewish university,” has said that officials concluded after consulting with Jewish religious scholars that an official LGBTQ club would be inconsistent with its religious values. The university was founded in 1897 for religious purposes and says it maintains that character even as it expanded its educational scope to include secular programs.
The New York City anti-discrimination law includes an exemption for religious organizations, but Manhattan-based Judge Lynn Kotler concluded that Yeshiva did not meet the relevant criteria.
Pride Alliance, joined by four individual plaintiffs, said in its response that the university’s request was premature and questioned whether there was an emergency that warranted Supreme Court intervention. All the university would be required to do if the judge's order was allowed to go into effect is provide the group access to the same facilities that 87 other groups already receive, the group's lawyers said.
Kotler's ruling “does not touch the university’s well-established right to express to all students its sincerely held beliefs,” the lawyers said in court papers. They noted that a LGBTQ club has existed within the university’s law school for decades and that the university’s student bill of rights says that the New York human rights law applies to students.
Members of Pride Alliance have said that they are planning events backing LGBTQ rights for the coming weeks, including some timed around Jewish holidays.
The Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority has strongly backed religious rights in recent cases, including several in its last term that ended in June. Among those rulings, the court ruled in favor of a high school football coach who led prayers on the field after games, sparking concerns from school officials that his actions could be viewed as government endorsement of religion as prohibited under the First Amendment.
The court, which legalized same-sex marriage in 2015, has also weighed several cases pitting LGBTQ rights against religious rights, ruling in 2021 in favor of a Catholic Church-affiliated agency that Philadelphia had barred from participating in its foster care services because the group refused to place children with same-sex couples. In 2018, the court ruled in favor of a conservative Christian baker in Colorado who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
Along similar lines, the justices are set to hear oral arguments this fall in a case involving a web designer from Colorado who wants the court to rule that, based on her evangelical Christian beliefs, she does not have to design wedding websites for same-sex couples. The court is currently on its summer recess, with the new term set to start in October. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/supreme-court-temporarily-blocks-ruling-that-required-jewish-university-to-recognize-lgbtq-group/article_34218a44-30c6-11ed-8061-37bbce931328.html | 2022-09-10T06:01:59Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/supreme-court-temporarily-blocks-ruling-that-required-jewish-university-to-recognize-lgbtq-group/article_34218a44-30c6-11ed-8061-37bbce931328.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
RICHLAND, Wash.-
The US Attorney for Eastern District of Washington announced that a federal grand jury has indicted two people from Richland for COVID-19 fraud.
Jimia Rae Cain, 52-years-old from West Richland was indicted Friday with seven counts of fraud in connection with PPP and EIDL loans that were received in 2020.
Allegedly, Cain used false statements and fake documents to get more than $330,000 in CARES Act funding for her business. She later attempted to get an additional $280,000 in EIDL but was declined.
Andrei Borgheriu, 45-years-old from West Richland was also indicted with three counts of fraud in connection with $500,00 in EIDL funding that he received on behalf of his business.
He allegedly said he would use the money as a working capital for his business but instead he used the money to purchase a home in West Richland in cash.
According to the indictment, he soon wired all the funding to the title company for the purchase of the home. The US if now forfeiting the home from him because it was fraudulently-obtained with EIDL funding.
In February 2022, U.S. Attorney Vanessa R Waldref and the U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) began working with federal law enforcement agencies to create and launch a COVID-19 Fraud Strike Force. It would create partnerships between different agencies to investigate and prosecute fraud against COVID-19 relief programs in Eastern Washington.
“COVID-19 relief programs were designed to lift up our community during crisis, and due to the number of people and businesses that requested funding, some deserving small businesses were not able to obtain funding to keep their businesses in operation,” said U.S. Attorney Waldref.
The fraud charges against Cain carry a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in federal prison, while the fraud charges against Borgheriu carry a maximum sentence of up to 20 years. This case was investigated by the Eastern District of Washington COVID-19 Fraud Strike Force and by the FBI, SBA OIG, and TIGTA. The United States Attorney also thanks the West Richland Police Department for graciously providing critical support and assistance. The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Dan Fruchter, Frieda K. Zimmerman, Tyler H.L. Tornabene, and Brian Donovan.
An indictment is merely an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/two-west-richland-residents-indicted-by-us-attorneys-general-washington-covid-19-strike-force/article_91b334ae-309f-11ed-9fe5-c359819ac15a.html | 2022-09-10T06:02:05Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/two-west-richland-residents-indicted-by-us-attorneys-general-washington-covid-19-strike-force/article_91b334ae-309f-11ed-9fe5-c359819ac15a.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
SEATTLE, Wash.-
A new birth control for men is being studied by the University of Washing Medicine. The birth-control is a hormonal gel contraceptive placed on the shoulder.
Currently, 420 couples across the United States, Europe, Africa and South America are part of the study. More couples are being requested to participate in the study.
“We know that these methods can be effective for 95% of men, if they're used as directed,” said Dr. Stephanie Page, a professor of medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine and the lead investigator at the Seattle trial site.
“One of the really important points about this contraceptive gel, in contrast to some other methods that are available for men, is that we know it's 100% reversible,” Page said. “When men stop using the gel, in six to 12 weeks, their sperm count comes back and they restore their fertility.”
More about the study
Men that have participated in the study apply the gel using their hand to both shoulders every day.
The clear gel is said to look and feel similar to hand sanitizer. It contains a testosterone and progestin which are a combination of hormones that suppress sperm count.
Significant side affects have been rare so far, Page says.

- VinFast delivered the first 100 VF 8s to customers in Vietnam
- The first global delivery is expected to be in December 2022
HAI PHONG, Vietnam, Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- At the VinFast manufacturing complex in Hai Phong, VinFast held an event to celebrate the deliveries of the first batch of 100 VF 8 all-electric vehicles for VinFast's pioneer customers who made the earliest reservations. This event marked an historic milestone, as Vietnam's first global smart electric car was officially released and ready to enter the most demanding markets in the US, Canada, and Europe.
With the theme "The Future is Now" the VF 8 Delivery Event was held at VinFast's manufacturing complex in Hai Phong in the company of VinFirst customers – the first to reserve the vehicles.
The event was also livestreamed globally, so VinFast's customers and viewers worldwide could witness the moment when Vietnam's first global electric vehicles officially rolled off the production line.
After these initial deliveries in Vietnam, VinFast plans to export the next batch of approximately 5,000 VF 8s headed to the US, Canada, and Europe from November. The first international customers are expected to receive their vehicles as early as December 2022.
Speaking at the event, Madam Le Thi Thu Thuy – Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup and Global CEO of VinFast – said: "Today's event marks a turning point for Vietnam's auto industry. In this historic moment, we are extremely happy to deliver the first batch of VF 8 all-electric vehicles to our pioneering customers in Vietnam. And very soon, the enthusiasm will be realized by more than 65,000 pioneering customers world wide."
The VinFast VF 8 is an electric SUV made for global markets with a 5-seat configuration and overall dimensions of 187.00" (length) x 76.14" (width) x 65.63" (height). The VF 8 is equipped with ADAS, a series of advanced automated driving features that includes Highway Assist, Automated Lane Changing Assist, Smart Parking Assist, Smart Summon Mode, and Remote Parking Assist. In addition, the VF 8 is equipped with the "Smart Services" package, along with features for controlling and interacting with the vehicle through voice, remote vehicle control which can be accessed via the VinFast app. The package also includes other impressive high-quality user experiences, such as online shopping, and video games that synchronize with your phone.
The VinFast VF 8 has two versions – Eco and Plus. The VF 8 Eco version is equipped with a 260 kW-maximum-power electric motor reaching a maximum torque of 500Nm (approximately 369 ft-lbs) that sustains a range of up to 260 miles after each full charge (WLTP). The VF 8 Plus version is equipped with a 300 kW-maximum-power electric motor reaching a maximum torque of 620Nm (approximately 457 ft-lbs) with a range of up to 248 miles per each full charge (WLTP).
A significant advantage of electric motors versus internal combustion engines is the ability to instantly achieve maximum torque, which helps VinFast VF 8 accelerate impressively, operate smoothly, and provide an outstanding driving feeling.
In addition to the battery subscription policy announced earlier this year, as of September 1, 2022, VinFast officially offered an option to purchase batteries with cars to meet the diverse needs of customers. Customers who made reservations to purchase a VF 8 or VF 9 before September 1, 2022, can keep their original battery subscription option and enjoy a permanent rate for the lifetime of their vehicle. They also have the option to select a new option - purchasing the vehicle and battery together, to own the complete package.
Customers who made early reservations under the VinFirst program also received attractive offers including a voucher worth 150-million VND (Vietnam), $3,000 USD (US), $3,500 CAD (Canada) €2,500 EUR (EU), a VinFast Smart Driving package worth 132 million VND (Vietnam), $6,500 USD (US), $8,125 CAD (Canada), €7,250 EUR (EU), and a 118-million VND Vinpearl's voucher (about $5,000 USD), and more.
Customers who own a VF 8, or any VinFast vehicle, will receive an excellent customer care service and after-sales assistance, that includes VinFast's world-leading 10-year warranty, mobile charging, mobile service, 24/7 free rescue during the warranty period, and more.

Startling footage out of Jackson, Mississippi Friday of murky liquid flowing from the sink of a residential home underscored the serious water crisis plaguing the poverty-stricken city.
Newspaper reporter Molly Minta posted a stomach-churning video of dark brown water emanating from her bathroom sink as a six-week boil-water notice extended into the weekend.
Jackson’s main water-treatment plant was unable to handle severe rain caused by flooding along the Pearl River last month, accelerating damage to the fragile system.
An inundation of raw water contaminated a reservoir supply, slowing treatment, depleting supplies and causing an unsafe pressure drop.
Some pumps were already out of commission before the rain, causing the plant to rely on backups.
The antiquated system had already been beaten down by a series of cold snaps that froze pipes last winter, leaving many of the city’s 150,000 residents without water.
The Environmental Protection Agency told Jackson months ago that its water had run afoul of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
EPA officials called on Washington, DC Wednesday for the capital city to receive “its fair share” of federal money to rebuild its system under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that was signed into law by President Biden last fall.
The Magnolia State was set to receive $429 million over five years allocated to water treatment under the $1 trillion dollar measure, according to the White House.
As the crisis continued this week, cars were lined up to collect donated bottled water as restaurants brought in tanks of clean water from outside the city.
Jackson has lost about a third of its tax base since 1980 due to white flight, and one in six of its residents live in poverty.

ASHFORD, Wash.-
Beginning Friday, Sept 9, Mount Rainier National Park has placed a parkwide fire ban for all campfires and wood or any fuel in the fire pits, fire pans and BBQ grills.
The ban has been placed to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires during critical weather conditions.
The current air quality and wildfire smoke has increased concerns related to nearby wildlife areas. Hot, dry and windy conditions and poor air quality are expected through the weekend.
Emergency road closures have been placed due to the active Goat Rock Fire burning to the southeast entrance of the park.
SR123 is closed to travel in both directions and US12 is closed neat Skate Creek Road near White Pass Summit.
The Ohanapecosh campground and visitor center are open.
No fires are currently burning inside Mount Rainier National Park, but if you see smoke or flames in the park or nearby, call 9-1-1 or let a ranger know. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/parkwide-fire-ban-in-effect-at-mount-rainier-national-park-effective-sept-9/article_43d65b10-30ba-11ed-8829-ff64a87c808f.html | 2022-09-10T06:02:29Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/parkwide-fire-ban-in-effect-at-mount-rainier-national-park-effective-sept-9/article_43d65b10-30ba-11ed-8829-ff64a87c808f.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
We’ve given okada riders in Oyo deadline to submit themselves for registration —Makinde’s SA on ICT, Akande
The Special Assistant to the Oyo State Governor on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and E-Governance, Mr Bayo Akande, in this interview by SAHEED SALAWU, throws more light on the ongoing registration of residents of Oyo State and how the government is exploring technology to boost its activities.
What is the essence of the ongoing registration programme that is being overseen by your office?
The aim of the programme is to register all residents of Oyo State, regardless of your nationality or tribe; as long as you are a resident and you live here. It is a means for more effective policy making and resource allocation.
It is understood that you have so far registered 11,000 okada riders in Oyo State. What is the implication for those who refuse to register?
As far as okada riders are concerned, His Excellency, the Governor, was very concerned; he felt that as opposed to banning them outright as we have seen in other states, how about we just carry out an identity management and regulate their activities, you know, have their biometrics; knowing who own the okada, give them jackets and then weed out the bad eggs from the good ones? We are still in the registration phase but we do have a deadline that has been communicated to the okada riders’ associations. If you have not registered by then, you would no longer be allowed to operate in Oyo State. If you are using our roads, if you are making money in the state, we should know who you are. So, if you are not willing to let us identify you, then you should not be riding in Oyo State.
Is there any countermeasure being put in place by the government to prevent any security fallout from okada operation in the state, given their notoriety that has seen their activities banned in some parts of the country?
This measure that we are taking is in a bid to prevent any of this fallout from happening. A huge deterrent to crime in any country, in any society, is the knowledge that there is a system in place to catch you if you commit a crime. Sometimes if you go to a place and you see a camera, if you wanted to commit a crime before, for the simple fact that a camera is there, sometimes even fake, it stops you from going ahead with your plan. It is the same way where, after we identify these people, after we carry out the mandate where you have to wear a jacket, and we know that every jacket number with the identity card can be tied to the rider, or the owner (of the okada). That will serve as a huge deterrent, because then if you are carrying out a crime while wearing a jacket, you know you will be caught. And if you are not wearing a jacket, you will not be allowed to ride.
How do you intend to cope with the continuous influx of these riders into the state?
The registration is a continuous process, regardless of any sector. Apart from okada riders, even other citizens emigrate and immigrate into the state. So, it is not a programme that would be done for a few months. There are already resources which His Excellency has put in place, agencies which His Excellency is planning to put in place to make sure that this is an ongoing, continuous process moving forward.
Many of these okada riders are even known to not have number plates. Are you working with other agencies, including security agencies, to make sure that your effort is worthwhile?
We are not working alone. Although the registration programme is carried out by the ICT Department, we are definitely working with all relevant agencies, from the Ministry of Works, Transport and Housing to [the Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority] OYRTMA, to security agencies and even down to residents’ associations. We make sure that all stakeholders involved have a voice and can lend their suggestions and opinions so that the programme can be holistic. As I mentioned earlier, we are also working with the okada riders’ associations. So, everybody who is affected is involved. If an okada man does not have a number plate, it is at the point of registration that you enforce that the number plate is done, even before registration. That way, the course of registration has also helped us to identify and solve loads of other problems that are not even tied to this.
What measures are you taking to ensure that the riders are not able to circumvent the law by, for example, cloning the identity cards and jackets that you are going to give them?
We have thought about that and put measures in place. Of course, it is very important that there is an enforcement drive. We are going to have the relevant agencies – OYRTMA, Amotekun – equipped with the materials that will help them to enforce the law. Not to give away the secret but there are little markers that will make everything unique, from the identity cards to the jackets, to make sure that when the verification exercises are taking place, and they can take place at any time, you can be stopped as an okada rider and then we check for the markers to see if you are carrying the original ID card and wearing the original jacket. I think this will go a long way in helping us to curb these types of issues.
This is a project that covers all citizens in all the nooks and crannies of Oyo State. How are you going about the manpower required to deliver this kind of project?
We are aware of the economic climate and we have had to be very creative so as not to break the bank. There has been a mixture of a lot of what you have said that we have used to achieve this. For example, there are some civil servants in some ministries that have been assigned to this programme. We do have some volunteers. We are actually in all local government secretariats in Oyo State, all the OYRTMA offices, as well as some schools. We do have some volunteers. We do have some ad hoc staff that the contractor in charge has hired. Some of the local government secretariats have even offered people from the respective communities who have also volunteered. So, we have a mixture of all of these to make sure that the programme is successful. We realsied that you have to involve the stakeholders, you have to involve the people. If we decided to hire people by ourselves, we may not have that local touch. When got to certain areas, we realised that it was important to absorb some of the people from those areas to serve as champions. I think that has really helped because, aside from okada riders, we have reached over 300,000 in just a few months.
The commencement of this registration programme was actually announced in 2021 and not much was heard about it afterwards. What happened?
It is very important for a project of this magnitude that the right steps are taken. First of all, there was a huge training exercise that took place. It was basically internal. We had a lot of staff to train. Like I said, some civil servants were co-opted. Some OYRTMA staff members as well as some ad hoc staff that were also hired were involved and. We also have a lot of equipment, some of which needed to be imported. Putting all these together and other things that were taking place behind the scenes, it did actually take a while to kick off in earnest.
What is your projection as to when there will be a clear-cut number of the people of Oyo State?
God willing and all things being equal, a year is a good time to have a good spread, cover a lot of people and we could have a very scientific answer.
Does it not seem curious that Oyo State is just trying to determine its population and develop a database?
As opposed to blaming anyone for whatever has not been done in the past, I think it is very important that we are forward-looking. We have tried to identify a solution and His Excellency has empowered us to go ahead with that solution. I think that we should be happy that regardless of what has been done in the past, now we have a young, energetic governor who is technology-focused and forward-looking. We can be guaranteed that the next couple of years are not going to be like the past couple of years. The people that come after this administration will be happy that we left good data, we left good resources and we did things how they should be done.
By the end of this administration in the next year or five, how much help do you hope your office would have been able to render to the government?
We live in a time when technology sits at the core of every sector, be it finance, agriculture, works, due process, you name it. I don’t think there is any sector this day whose processes cannot be made more efficient with the use of technology. That is why you will find that I am actually the first SA (special assistant) to be named SA, ICT and e-Governance. His Excellency found it fit to add ‘e-governance’ to my title because effective governance right now is digital. So, we are thinking that by the time this administration is over, of course, in the next five years, God willing, we would have left our mark. We would have left a lot of well-trained civil servants; we would have left well-trained students in ICT. We would have had processes that flow so easily and we can boast of having recruitments that are transparent; we can boast of having contracts and projects that are transparent; we can boast of having a robust HR system; we can boast that we have accurate database; we can boast of project management software; we can boast of using technology in agriculture; we can boast of robust, vibrant infrastructure. I am very confident that we would have laid the foundation for a lot of great technologically-driven government activities.

Airport's Nye casts aside fear to make key throw against SMCC
CARLETON – The play broke open just like the coaches said it would.
Colin Nowak sprinted past the defensive backs and was all alone on his post route in the middle of the field.
Airport quarterback Cooper Nye was filled with excitement.
But he also felt something else.
Fear.
"It's kind of scary," Nye admitted. "You don't want to be the guy who overthrows him and looks bad."
Nye did not look bad.
The junior laid the ball perfectly in font of Nowak for a 53-yard touchdown pass that changed the game Friday night. That bomb gave Airport a 14-7 lead over St. Mary Catholic Central and the Jets never looked back, soaring to a 33-14 victory.
Nye was involved in all of the touchdowns for his team, running for touchdowns of 1, 20 and 1 yards and also throwing to Nolan Zajac for a 24-yard score.
“He’s done a great job with his feet,” Airport coach Jim Duffy said. “He’s learned to buy time with his feet for his receivers to get open.”
But the three running scores was a surprise.
“I think I have three touchdowns in two years (running),” he said. “Coach Red (Airport offensive coordinator Tim Duffy told me I was going to get some opportunities tonight. He didn’t tell me it would be running.”
Running into the end zone three times was nice, but there is no danger that Airport is going to move Nye to running back.
What he does best is throw the football.
And the timing was perfect on his first TD toss of the night Friday.
Nye completed passes of 26, 10 and 24 yards to Nolan Zajac on Airport’s first drive to take the ball to the SMCC 1, where he took it over himself.
But the Falcons had an answer, moving the ball 69 yards on 9 running plays to score on a 1-yard plunge by Brock Cousino.
That knotted the score at 7-7 with 8 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Jets got the ball back on their own 47 and dialed up a pass play.
“Tim called that right away,” Jim Duffy said. “No matter what, we had to answer them quickly."
SMCC coach Adam Kipf agreed that that Nye to Nowak connection was the biggest play of the night.
“It was certainly not what we wanted,” he said. “They answered very well. That pass was a shock to our team.”
Nye knew it was imperative to do something positive quickly.
“They’re CC,” he said. “They’re never going to back down.”
Nye’s second touchdown run of the night gave the Jets 21-7 halftime lead – matching the advantage they held over Flat Rock at the intermission last week.
In that game, Airport got careless and had to stop a 2-point conversion after time had expired to preserve a win.
Duffy had a different plan this time.
“I told them at halftime we were going to take the kickoff and go right down and score, then onside and get it back and score again,” the coach said.
That’s exactly what happened.
Nye threw a TD pass to Zajac on the first drive, then connected for a huge 27-yard completion to Jack Mills on the next possession to take the ball to the 1, where he carried it in himself.
That gave Airport a 33-7 lead with 3:33 left in the third quarter.
SMCC had not touched the ball yet in the second half.
The game was basically over.
Airport is 3-0 for the first time since 2012.
“This is awesome,” said Nye who finished 10-of-18 for 207 yards including 7 completions to Zajac for 100 yards.
“This feels really good,” Duffy added. “I am very happy for the kids, especially the third-year varsity guys. We went to CC last year and lost a tough one.”
It was a different story on the other sideline.
SMCC is 0-3 for the first time in school history.
“It’s a bunch of little mistakes,” Kipf said. “We're just a step away or a block away on a lot of plays. We’re going to make sure we keep trying to make that one block or one step to finish a play.”
Michael Laboe had a 25-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter for the Falcons and Cole Jondro was the leading rusher in the game with 14 carries for 55 yards.

High School Football: Carlson finally slays Jags; offense shines for Region teams
Carlson, Monroe, Flat Rock, Dundee, Erie Mason, and Whiteford win big in Week 3
Jason Gendron asked his Gibraltar Carlson football team to forget about the past.
The first-year coach knows better than most the struggles that the Marauders have had in recent years against Allen Park. He has been an assistant since 2020 and has seen two different head coaches fail to beat the Jaguars.
Last year, Carlson only lost two games − both to Allen Park. Once in the playoffs.
"We knew the narrative going in would be about last year with the two losses," Gendron said. "We challenged our kids to just focus on doing their jobs. That was the message. It wasn't about last year. Last year had no bearing on what would happen tonight."
Easier said than done, Gendron knows that.
There are nearly 20 players on this year's roster who still have last year's memories fresh in their minds.
"I do think it was difficult for them," Gendron admitted. "We also talked about that if you were a part of it last year, to take it personal and have a chip on your shoulder. But the focus really was on this year."
Whatever the motivation, Carlson's team did something it hadn't done since 2018. The Marauders defeated Allen Park 35-6 Friday night to improve to 3-0 this season.
Carlson dominated at the line of scrimmage to control the game, Gendron said. The offensive line of Ben Przytula, Matt Hall, Evan Bredow, Melvohn Martin, Jake Nagy, and Adam Zurawski helped the team amass 393 yards of total offense.
Carlson led 28-0 at halftime.
The defensive line of Przytula, Hall, Bredow, Raphael Araujo, and Deisel Gessner was key in holding Allen Park to just 6 points.
"With Allen Park's style of play and our style of play, you have to win up front," Gendron said. "That was the challenge. Both our front, offense and defense, dominated the line of scrimmage. We were able to have our way up front."

Dundee 14, Blissfield 7
BLISSFIELD −Dundee committed three turnovers and hurt itself with penalties, but the Vikings still came away with the win Friday night.
"We shot ourselves in the foot, turned the ball over, a moved backward a few too many times because of penalties, and we still managed to win," Dundee coach Steve Ayre said. "That was my message to the kids after the game: you're not always going to win clean. You have to win ugly sometimes."
Trey Parker caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Zanger to open the scoring in the first quarter. The Vikings didn't score again until the third on a 15-yard run by Colton Bordine.
Quentin Lephew and Braiden Whitaker forced a fumble and recovered on the Dundee goal line to deny Blissfield a chance to tie the game at the end of the third.

"Owen Yount really stood out with a huge run, a phenomenal TD catch, and a blocked punt for a TD," Monroe coach Dave Mifsud said.
Angel Rincon scored a pair of defensive touchdowns, returning a fumble 27 yards for a TD in the second and pick-six in the fourth. Aiden Brody added a 13-yard touchdown catch from Sieler just before halftime to make it 28-0.
"We had some great plays, but Skyline played aggressively on defense and made things difficult for us," Mifsud said. "We didn't run the ball as well as I'd like or as consistent as I'd like. But we made plays when needed."

The TD pass to Masserant started a running clock for the Bobcats (3-0).
“We had one of the best weeks of practice since I’ve been part of this program,” Bobcat coach Todd Thieken said. “We were prepared and played very well. I think the win over Ida last week prepared us for this.”

ERIE − Fremont traveled nearly two hours to run into a dominating defensive performance from Erie Mason.
"The defense played pretty much lights out all night," Mason coach Steve Bowers said. "We forced several punts and had a handful of fourth-down stops. They just played great, physical football."
Louden Murbach, Logan Goodin, Cole Kreger, Michael Narew, and Toby Frazier stood out defensively. Kreger had an interception, and Toby Frazier and Xavier Wise recovered fumbles.
Quarterback Vaughn Brown had touchdown passes of 52, 9, and 25 yards.
"They were trying to keep us from throwing the deep ball, but that allowed us to do some other things," Bowers said. "They put a lot of pressure on Vaughn. I can't say enough about how handled it. They were coming in hard off the edge. He took a lot of hits but still delivered some good passes and made a lot of good decisions."

NACHES — A week ago, East Valley confirmed what everybody expected — quarterback Garin Gurtler and his band of senior receivers can sling it around the yard.
But Friday's visit to Naches Valley had a different purpose.
"We run the Air Raid but also want to play some smash-mouth in the running game when we can," said coach Eric Berg. "We've got some really young o-linemen but they've worked their tails off and they're getting better. And we have a pretty good running back."
Indeed they do.
Senior Christian Flores ran for 100 yards on 20 carries and scored the game's first touchdown as East Valley earned its first 2-0 start in a decade with a 16-0 victory over the Rangers.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Gurtler used his big arm to rack up a career-high 302 yards and three touchdowns in last week's home win over Quincy, but it was clear from the start that Flores would be effective on the ground. On the second possession of the game, he finished off a scoring drive with runs of 16, 5 and 4 yards.
The trouble for East Valley was that Naches Valley had its own tough-running back, Mitchell Helgert. The state champion wrestler pounded away 21 times for 103 yards, but two of NV's best drives were stopped on downs inside EV's 15. That includes a 16-play march that consumed the first 10 minutes of the second half.
But while the Rangers had difficulty in the air with just five completion, East Valley still had plenty up top. Gurtler threw for only 97 yards but he provided a difference-maker when, directly after a Teegan Hooper interception, he connected with Allan Sires on a 17-yard touchdown pass for a 13-0 lead with 1:15 left in the first half.
Flores' final four carries led to Carson Kauntz's 26-yard field goal with 4:30 left in the game.
"Naches is a good team. That No. 50 (lineman Jesse Benge) is a stud," Berg said. "We had the pass going for us last week, but today we wanted to take a step forward on the ground and run the ball. I'm really proud of the effort tonight."
With Helgert leading the way, the Rangers ran for 157 yards. Alex Juarez was Gurtler's top target, grabbing three passes for 61 yards, including a 36-yarder on the first play of the final period.
Both teams continue on with nonleague play with East Valley hosting Heritage from Vancouver on Friday while Naches Valley travels to Wahluke.

Toyota driver Cannon McIntosh took the lead from Brenham Crouch on lap 12 of 30 and led the final 19 circuits to win the opening night of the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series’ John Hinck Championship at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex Friday.
The victory is the 12th national midget feature win this season for McIntosh, with 11 of those coming in his last 24 national midget features to go along with two runner-up finishes.
Crouch started the night’s action from the pole and immediately assumed the lead, followed by Keith Kunz Motorsport teammate Taylor Reimer in second. As Crouch paced the field, Zach Daum would get by Reimer for second on lap three, while McIntosh moved into third the following lap.
As McIntosh found his groove, he would move past Daum for the second position on lap nine, then chasing down Crouch on lap 12, going high through turns three and four, narrowly edging out Crouch for the lead as they came back to the starter’s stand.
From that point, McIntosh would begin to pull away, opening up a 1.7-second lead by lap 19. The race would then tighten up as the leaders came into heavy traffic, with Crouch pulling right up on his tail as McIntosh was bottled up before diving down to slice between two lapped cars to extend his lead back out.
It was all McIntosh the rest of the way, with Crouch finishing second. Two more Toyota drivers also earned top-five showings on the night with Bryant Wiedeman placing fourth and Justin Grant driving from tenth to fifth after having to battle his way through the semi-feature in his back-up car after a heat lap crash.
Daison Pursley earned a seventh-place finish in his first USAC event since a horrific crash at Arizona Speedway last November. He was followed by fellow Toyota drivers Buddy Kofoid in eighth, Trey Gropp in ninth and Kaylee Bryson in tenth.
Defending series champion Kofoid continues to lead the point race, with Grant currently sitting second and McIntosh climbing into the top thee after overcoming some early-season struggles.
The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series closes out its Sweet Springs double-header on Saturday night.
Quotes:
Cannon McIntosh, Dave Mac Dalby Motorsports: “It was a fight early to get going as the top two checked out a little bit. Once I got into a rhythm, I was able to run down (Zach) Daum for second. Then we got by (Brenham) Crouch pretty good there. I just felt like I had a really good car. I didn’t know how close he was and some of the lapped cars were racing me hard and at one point I got stuffed behind (Jace) Park out of four. That hurt us, but I knew I needed to get by him and put as many lapped cars in front of Brenham as I could. What I was able to do between three and four most of the race was going away a little at the end, but I was able to hold on. These guys just gave me a great job. They’ve got this thing down to a science. Everyone on this Dave Mac Dalby Motorsports team worked really hard to give me a really good race car. I couldn’t do it without them, Crescent Gear Wrench, Toyota, Mobil 1. Bell Helmets and K1 Race Gear who make this happen.”

Grandma Makes Plea for Tandem Bike Stolen From Her and Grandson With Special Needs to Be Returned
Janelle Wright says she and her grandson, Caleb Hooten, 12, ride the bike together all the time because the young man is afraid to ride on his own.
An Ohio grandmother is pleading with the public to help her locate a tandem bike that she says was stolen from her home that she uses with her grandson who has special needs, according to 13 ABC.
Janelle Wright says she and her grandson, Caleb Hooten, 12, ride the bike together all the time because the young man is afraid to ride on his own.
“He’s afraid of riding a bike on his own. So, I thought, ‘Well, I’ll try a tandem and have him behind me and see if he can do it.’ And dude, that was all it wrote. Ha ha! He was in love,” she told 13 ABC.
She bought the bike for her grandson during the height of coronavirus pandemic in 2020 for $400 from Walmart and they have taken to the streets of Toledo ever since.
She says that recently someone broke into her garage and stole the bike.
“Came out to get it day before yesterday and opened up the garage doors and it was gone,” she told 13 ABC. “I know how much he loves it. My heart broke at first and then I got mad.”
Now is asking anyone who has any information or has taken it to just bring it back.
She hopes to have it returned but told the news outlet that she already started saving for a new bike.

Queen Elizabeth II Honored by American Cities, Sports Teams and Celebrities in the Wake of Her Death
The lights on the Empire State Building shone purple and silver in Queen Elizabeth's honor. In Los Angeles, city hall was illuminated with red lights.
Tributes from across the country and world are pouring in to honor Queen Elizabeth II, who died Thursday at the age of 96.
The lights on the Empire State Building shone purple and silver in her honor. In Los Angeles, city hall was illuminated with red lights.
Late-night talk-show hosts, including Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden also paid their respects.
Others shared messages on social media, including Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross, who performed outside Buckingham Palace during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
“She devoted her life to her country and to the service of others,” Ross wrote on Twitter.
Last night, there was a tribute at the NFL's season-opener in Los Angeles, along with a moment of silence at the start of the match at the U.S. Open. A similar tribute happened at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Dozens of celebrities are also paying tribute to the queen.
“From my homeland, some very sad news today, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Please join me in a round of applause for so many years of service,” Harry Styles said at his concert at Madison Square Garden.
Elton John also honored the late monarch at his concert in Toronto.
“She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, decency and genuine caring warmth,” John said.
Flight attendants wiped away tears as the pilot announced the news of the queen's death midair.
Over decades, the queen endeared herself to many Americans.
She saw the UK’s special relationship with the United States as key to her reign, and nothing proved that more than when she ordered the Band of the Coldstream Guards to play the Star Spangled Banner in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks.

Remembering Queen Elizabeth II’s Witty Sense of Humor and Most Funny Moments
Several months ago, a video played at the Platinum Jubilee showed the queen pulling a sandwich out of her purse while sitting across from Paddington Bear. She was also known for her witty comebacks and quips during public appearances throughout the years.
She may have kept a stiff upper lip, but Queen Elizabeth II loved a good joke, and her sense of humor was on display often throughout her reign.
While delivering a speech after being introduced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who referenced her long reign, the queen once said, “Thank you, prime minister, for making me feel so old.”
The late monarch seemed to have a natural gift for comic timing. As world leaders once gathered for a photo shoot, she quipped, “Are we supposed to be looking like we are having a good time?”
There were other moments from the queen that delighted her subjects.
Ten years ago, Prince Harry talked his granny into acting alongside Daniel Craig's James Bond during a short film played during the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
Craig later spoke about the event with Stephen Colbert.
“We were having our photographs taken and she just went, ‘Oh no, he’s the one that doesn’t smile,’” Craig said.
She also appeared in a promo for Prince Harry's Invictus Games. After the Obamas did some trash talking, the queen playfully laughed.
And there was a sweet moment from just three months ago, when she pulled a sandwich out of her purse while appearing with Paddington Bear during her Platinum Jubilee celebration.

Vermilion Catholic picked up their second win of the season over Ascension Episcopal, 48-24.
Quarterback Jonathan Dartez threw for 64 yards and 1 touchdown, but most of the effort was on the ground picking up 218 yards on 19 carries.
"He's our heartbeat on offense", says head coach Broc Prejean. "He understands his role and understands he needs to take care of the football and he understands those other 10 guys all have his back."
The defense flew around to the football where three Eagles caught interceptions including Lewis Briggs and Brett LeBlanc, but also the quarterback of the defense, Ashton Belaire succeeded on both sides of the ball. Belaire picked up 32 yards on 4 carries and a touchdown in the first half.
Prejean says his expectation for the defensive unit is to not get complacent.
"We got Loreauville coming in next week and Coach Martin has those guys rolling as well so just have to understand that it's all about getting better and keep trending upwards."

NEW YORK (AP)On nearly every basketball court around the world -from NBA arenas to elementary school gyms – you’ll see players of all sizes regularly attempting long 3-point shots. There’s one man largely credited with transforming basketball from a must-see above the rim game to box office-long range shooting: Stephen Curry.
But the Golden State Warriors megastar who broke the NBA’s all-time 3-point record last season is now aiming at a different target: children’s books.
”This is our first project out and (we want) to hopefully reach the next generation of kids that are dreaming big, are going to be the next leaders and game changers,” said Curry of ”I Have a Superpower” illustrated by Geneva Bowers. ”We want them to be able to set their sights on what they want to accomplish in the world and really believe that it’s possible.”
The father of three says the book was partly inspired by his own children’s love of reading.
”You kind of have your kids in mind when you’re talking about a book, and then you realize that this is kind of a universal opportunity to reach the next generation,” explained the four-time NBA champion and reigning Finals MVP.
A member of the NBA’s prestigious 75th Anniversary team and executive producer of the ”Holey Moley” game show, Curry spoke with The Associated Press about empowering children and the upcoming NBA season. Answers have been edited for clarity and brevity.
AP: What do you want young people to learn from ”I Have a Superpower?”
CURRY: We’re all unique and we all have something to offer the world. And if you have a work ethic, if you have a belief and you feel like whatever that requires is already inside of you, then good things will happen.
AP: What would you tell parents who might say it’s easy for you to tell kids ”just work hard?”
CURRY: You can always go back to when I started playing basketball when I was 5 years old – I first started playing organized basketball at 9. I was undersized, scrawny and never, ever talked about as being the greatest at anything. And (I) had to go through those experiences of trying and failing… I think that’s something that most people will hopefully be able to learn from, connect with and be inspired by.
AP: You and your wife, Ayesha, are building a media brand with TV shows and books. Why choose the media space to make an impact?
CURRY: There are a lot of different mediums to story-tell and to inspire. And publishing and writing this book is another example of ways to connect and kind of broaden your horizons… my wife showed me how it’s done, so now I got to follow in her footsteps a little bit.
AP: Switching gears, most of this NBA offseason has been focused on the Brooklyn Nets drama with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving along with the Lakers daily soap opera. Are you aware that much of the talk has not been about the Warriors, despite being the defending champions?
CURRY: We’re aware of everything that happens in the League in terms of different storylines and rumors and all that. It is the best place to watch it all happen when you’re holding the trophy and enjoying your summer and understanding, as the champs, you’re the ones being chased again now.
We don’t need anybody to talk about us. We know what we accomplished; it’s about getting ready for another run (and) we feel like we can do it again.
AP: Sports fans know that you’ve probably transformed the way basketball is played forever. Are you personally aware of how you’ve changed the game?
CURRY: I’m aware, but part of it is for me to keep doing what I’m doing in my career and hopefully stay at this level for as long as I can. There is no sense that I’ve hit my peak. I always feel like I can get better. So, I’m motivated by how far I can stretch this.
The biggest message for how I changed the game is that is possible, how I play is definitely possible. But it requires a crazy amount of work that I’ve been doing since I was 9 years old. So, I don’t want anybody to feel like they can skip steps to get there. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/sports/nba/steph-curry-aims-to-inspire-with-i-have-a-superpower-book/ | 2022-09-10T06:33:48Z | siouxlandproud.com | control | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/sports/nba/steph-curry-aims-to-inspire-with-i-have-a-superpower-book/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Edinburgh crime news: Captain John Porteous was murdered by a mob in Edinburgh - but why?
Captain John Porteous was found guilty of murder before being granted a Royal Pardon from the Prime Minister, a mob broke into the Tollbooth and hanged him anyway.
Wednesday this week marked the anniversary of the death of Captain John Porteous, dragged to the Grassmarket by an angry mob who hanged him and beat him.
Born in 1695 in the Borders, Porteous rose to the ranks of Captain of the Edinburgh City Guard after moving to the Capital in 1716.
He was said to be a self important, officious and pompous man and was not liked both by the city and the guard.

Operation Unicorn: What is Operation Unicorn? What happens when the Queen dies in Scotland?
The trouble began at the arrest and trial of a gang of smugglers, William Hall, Andrew Wilson and George Robertson.
Two of them, Wilson and Robertson were sentenced to be hanged, though the latter successfully escaped the Tollbooth prison and left the country.
Wilson alone faced the noose in April 1736, much to the fury of Edinburgh residents, who didn’t like the excisemen anyway ( those responsible for collecting excise duty) and supported smugglers.
As the man’s body was cut down, a riot broke out and the City Guard were called.
Porteous recklessly ordered his troops to open fire on the protesters, killing six people. Bullets also fired into surrounding tenements, injuring the inhabitants.
Some people later claimed that he discharged his own pistol into the sea of rioters, though it is unclear how truthful this is.
The Captain was charged with murder that very same day and found guilty by a unanimous jury less than three months later.
The judge sentenced him to death.
The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole was deeply concerned at the turn of events, worrying that it would encourage more unrest, and more smuggling, and he endeavoured to act.
He granted a Royal Pardon to Captain Porteous, who was due to face the noose on September 8.
The people of Edinburgh, already furious at the events on the riot day, were stirred to action at the news, and on September 7, a mob broke into the Tollbooth where Porteous was being held.
It is said that over 4,000 people turned up to drag the Captain to the Grassmarket.
They hanged him, let him down and stripped him before hanging him again.
He was still alive and fought to escape as the crowd attempted to set fire to him.
He was eventually let down and beaten to death.
The Captain was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard two days later.
An award for information on the ringleaders of the mob was offered, but no one came forward.
No one was ever caught or charged with his death.
A plaque sits in the Grassmarket where he was killed, and a new epitaph was written for him in 1973.
"John Porteous, a captain of the City Guard of Edinburgh, murdered September 7, 1736. All Passion Spent, 1973.” | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/edinburgh-crime-news-captain-john-porteous-was-murdered-by-a-mob-in-edinburgh-but-why-3834863 | 2022-09-10T06:39:21Z | scotsman.com | control | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/edinburgh-crime-news-captain-john-porteous-was-murdered-by-a-mob-in-edinburgh-but-why-3834863 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Are we not men who love Devo like Tim Vine? - Kevin Buckle
We recently installed a great looking Butcher Billy display opposite the shop and in these days of public sensitivities I was asked if it would be possible to remove the cigarette from Johnny Cash’s mouth.
It was agreed the image was strong enough to withstand the alteration and in fact it has led to the most sales from those inspired to buy by the display.
I was explaining to a customer that the image we were selling was slightly different when he commented that he was surprised Edinburgh Council were not more vigilant.
When I asked what he meant he explained he had been amazed to see a huge poster for Shit-Faced Shakespeare at the West End outside The Caledonian Hotel. I knew exactly where he meant as I had had a Butcher Billy image of Siouxsie as Wonder Woman displayed there a couple of years ago.

Operation Unicorn: What is Operation Unicorn? What happens when the Queen dies in Scotland?
I also knew because I had noticed that in these days of signage being called street clutter even when it is a board advertising a local business the entire area outside the hotel was awash with obstacles, including a giraffe!
As I have mentioned before with so much accommodation available in Edinburgh now there are many visitors who are completely unaware of the Festivals that are taking place.
Certainly I had to explain many times in the last month to bemused customers that Edinburgh was well known for its International and Fringe Festivals in August.
To be honest I’m so used to seeing all the posters going up I don’t actually read any of them and having seen myself the advert for Shit-Faced Shakespeare’s Macbeth had not thought that maybe this was not what visitors wanted to see.
Another regular customer and Festival-goer had said to me that the long line of adverts for shows along Princes Street’s railings harked back to the non-PC seventies with the constant play on words and innuendo.
Again I hadn’t noticed but having then looked while walking along Princes Street to the shop at the end of a long line of mostly not very funny posters I spotted another one for a Shakespeare play – Hamlet Prince of Skidmark.
Many of the posters relied on sexual innuendo in a far from subtle way and given that Edinburgh is receiving so many more families in August it really has to be questioned whether this is appropriate material to have displayed on the streets.
My highlight of the Festival was to have the comedian Tim Vine come in the shop and of all things ask if I had anything by the band Devo. He went away very happy with a Butcher Billy Devo bag and indeed returned to see if I had more he could give to friends but sadly he had bought the last one. He later posted a pic on Twitter, leading to several fans requesting one too.
I did eventually try to find out exactly what a shit-faced Macbeth entailed but all I could see was lots of warnings about possible nudity, violence, strong language and distressing themes with no explanation of the actual content.
I can only guess that all the characters deliver their lines while acting drunk. | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/are-we-not-men-who-love-devo-like-tim-vine-kevin-buckle-3837622 | 2022-09-10T06:39:28Z | scotsman.com | control | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/are-we-not-men-who-love-devo-like-tim-vine-kevin-buckle-3837622 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

2 pounds extra lean ground beef
2 green bell peppers, diced
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
cayenne pepper, to taste
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
Place ground beef, bell pepper, onion, garlic, flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a heavy pot.
Place pot over medium-high heat. Break up and stir mixture as it heats. Cook and stir until most of the moisture has evaporated and mixture is crumbly and begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick, about 45 minutes.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
Transfer mixture to oven-proof sauce pan. Top with 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Poke cheese down into the dip with a fork, stirring lightly. Top with remaining cheese.
Place pan under broiler; broil until cheese is browned, and mixture is hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
You can substitute 2 cups water for the 2 cups chicken broth.
Tips-
You can finish this dip in a hot oven (425 degrees F (220 degrees C)) instead of under the broiler. And you don’t have to present this as a baked dip. You can just leave it on the stove, on low, for guests to dip into.
This dip is perfect served with baguette slices.

With all the delicious produce at the Farmer's Markets, I felt these recipes were must make ones. And who doesn't love fresh fruit salads. The Sloppy Joes make for a quick and easy way to feed the kids as they race out to their sporting events. Have a great week.

2 small kohlrabi (about 1 pound, I used the green variety but purple would be prettier), cut into matchsticks about 1/4” wide
1 large Honeycrisp apple (about1/2 pound), cored and cut into matchsticks about 1/4” wide
1/3 cup grated gouda cheese (optional, not shown)
1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves
3 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds*
Lemon zest, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
Flaky sea salt (like Maldon) and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
In a large serving bowl, combine the kohlrabi and apple matchsticks. Add the cheese, if using, and the tarragon leaves and sunflower seeds. Shave lemon zest liberally over the bowl (I probably used about half of a small lemon’s worth or more).
Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, then sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper. Use your hands to gently toss the salad, then add another drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice if the salad seems dry. Finish with another light sprinkle of salt and pepper and serve immediately. | http://www.timescitizen.com/kifg/cooks_corner/crisp-apple-and-kohlrabi-salad/article_a663a1e6-3058-11ed-ba3e-a346dda38293.html | 2022-09-10T06:48:21Z | timescitizen.com | control | http://www.timescitizen.com/kifg/cooks_corner/crisp-apple-and-kohlrabi-salad/article_a663a1e6-3058-11ed-ba3e-a346dda38293.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
1 pound strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
3 medium peaches, thinly sliced (I peeled mine, but if you don’t mind the skin, you can leave it on)
6 ounces (1 cup) blueberries
1 heaping tablespoon fresh, chopped basil or mint
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
In a medium serving bowl, combine the strawberries, peaches, blueberries and basil. Drizzle the lemon juice, maple syrup and balsamic vinegar on top. Gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately, or chill for later. This salad is best enjoyed promptly, but will keep well for about 2 days in the refrigerator (pour off excess juices if necessary). | http://www.timescitizen.com/kifg/cooks_corner/summertime-fruit-salad/article_d5e5225a-3058-11ed-811d-976e5810acd5.html | 2022-09-10T06:48:27Z | timescitizen.com | control | http://www.timescitizen.com/kifg/cooks_corner/summertime-fruit-salad/article_d5e5225a-3058-11ed-811d-976e5810acd5.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

A Canterbury cafe has hit back at claims that a new cocktail will encourage sexual harassment of women. Eleto Chocolate Café say their 'Get Ya Tits Out' cocktail was named by a female member of staff and an attempt to reclaim the phrase from its negative connotations.
The Guildhall Street business faced an online backlash since posting a Facebook advert promoting the cocktail, released in time to coincide with freshers weekend. Critics have called for a boycott of the late cafe and vowed not to return.
The negative reaction to the name centred around concerns that it would encourage sexual harassments and assaults of women by normalising the phrase. A local women's group cancelled plans to visit the cafe in response.

Maisie Huckstep of Eleto Chocolate Cafe said: "To say we were shocked by the backlash created was an understatement, however we’d like to add some context to this situation. The name ‘Get Ya Tits out’ was created by women.
"We believe the situation would be entirely different if a male had constructed this cocktail name. It's important to note is that it wasn’t a male, which helps to show the intentions of the ‘Get Ya Tits Out’ cocktail.
"We chose this name as an opportunity to challenge the adversity that women face on the daily. It's an attempt to almost take the phrase back, and add a positive spin to it.
"One of the ladies on our team saw the name as a means to ‘let your hair down’ and just enjoy yourself. I think it has to be made abundantly clear, cocktail names have and will have outrageous names. We offer a Sex on the Beach and a Pornstar Martini, but this doesn't mean we're advocating for sex in public places or porn stars.
"We’d also like to highlight that whilst the cocktail was created for the sole purpose of being sold during the time period coinciding with Canterbury University's freshers, it is available to all.
"We never intended to cause this much of an uproar. However, the discussion had to be had, and the early result was clear to see, it was a discussion that provided mixed opinions.
"Most importantly, we want to raise the point that we're just a small cafe. We make food and drinks as well as cocktails in an attempt to put smiles on people's faces."

There has been an urgent recall on several popular foods this week over allergy concerns and possibly Hepatitis A infection. The Food Standards Agency has issued warnings for people to watch out for food items that are potentially unsafe.
Some of the products which have been recalled have ingredients that are not declared on the label, including nuts and eggs which could be potentially fatal to those who are allergic. The agency has shared online all the products that have been recalled and anyone who has bought them unwittingly are advised to return them to the store immediately.
People with nut allergies can be severely allergic and could go into anaphylactic shock. Other people may just get sick and nauseous but a food allergy can be a serious risk.

ALBANY — Utility giant National Grid is urging its upstate customers to brace for much higher heating costs once temperatures plunge.
National Grid’s latest pricing forecast predicts its natural gas customers will see a 39% jump in heating costs this winter. Estimates suggest each household served by the utility, on average, will pay more than $260 over the five-month heating season, or more than $50 per month than what those customers were charged last year.
Advocates for low-income people fear the higher bills will be particularly burdensome for senior citizens and others living on fixed incomes, as they are already grappling with higher prices for groceries and other necessities due to inflation.
The warning, issued this week, is being met with cries of outrage from Rep. Lee Zeldin, the GOP candidate for governor, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Saratoga County, and Steve McLaughlin, the Rensselaer County executive.
Zeldin linked the higher natural gas prices to a settlement early this year between the state Public Service Commission and National Grid that resulted in the utility abandoning an $80 million pipeline project — the so-called Albany Loop — while National Grid got the state’s green light to raise gas and utility prices by $329 million.
“This is ridiculously backwards and the exact opposite of what government should be doing,” Zeldin said before lambasting Gov. Kathy Hochul for taking the state in the “wrong direction.”
McLaughlin argued that higher rates for National Grid customers should be put on hold until state regulators have an opportunity to scrutinize the plan.
“I am calling on the PSC and state leaders to review this price hike and to investigate utility costs overall,” he said.
“Why are costs to New York families so much higher than anywhere else in the country?”
Stefanik blamed the spiking gas prices on “one party Democratic rule in Washington and New York,” vowing that House Republicans have a plan that will “unleash American energy dominance” and bring about lower energy and gasoline costs.
She noted she was a staunch opponent of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package signed by President Joe Biden last November.
In response to demands the state do more to protect utility customers from higher bills, James Denn, spokesman for the Public Service Commission, said the company’s supply cost for electricity and gas is driven by international supply and demand constraints “and is not controlled by state or federal regulators.”
“However, the provision of affordable utility service is at the core of the PSC’s mission.” Denn added.
“Governor Hochul signed into law an arrears forgiveness program that provided $250 million to wipe out the past due utility bills for low-income households this summer. The PSC approved an implementation plan for utilities that more than doubled the size of the Governor’s budget appropriation, making $557 million available for the arrears program.”
Denn said those moves to assist customers who had been behind on their bills “has helped to relieve some of the burden on customers with the greatest needs leading into this winter season.”
He also noted that regulators are working on a second phase of the arrears program and will continue to seek relief for those who will be impacted by the “dramatic commodity price increases.”
“Of critical importance, New York is working hard to build a grid powered by renewable energy so that New Yorkers aren’t subject to the volatility of the global energy market,” Denn added.
But McLaughlin said the programs teed up by the state to use public funds to pay down the bad debts of delinquent ratepayers do nothing to help protect middle class New Yorkers now being squeezed with higher costs to heat their homes.
“For the PSC to now admit a rate hike is needed to pay for a giveaway is outrageous,” McLaughlin said.
“The statement from the PSC is stunning and clearly shows average New Yorkers are being forced to foot the bill for failed policies on the state level and failed energy policies on the federal level that have led to higher gas prices.”
Denn said the PSC seeks to ensure utility customers have access to tools designed to help them better manage energy use. The commission also has a low-income discount program designed to ensure households pay no more than 6% of their income for gas and utility service, he said.
The federal government funds the Home Energy Assistance Program, which provides assistance to low-income families and seniors needing help with their energy bills. That program is typically managed by county governments or anti-poverty groups.
In New York, an estimated 600,000 households rely on National Grid for gas service. It also serves some 1.6 million electricity customers. | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/sparks-fly-after-upstate-ratepayers-told-to-brace-for-high-heating-bills/article_8f2135c8-30aa-11ed-a0e1-635fdb2cfaaf.html | 2022-09-10T06:59:45Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/sparks-fly-after-upstate-ratepayers-told-to-brace-for-high-heating-bills/article_8f2135c8-30aa-11ed-a0e1-635fdb2cfaaf.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
It’s time for Kathy Hochul to let go of the authority granted to the state executive to manage the COVID-19 pandemic in New York.
The executive orders declaring Covid a disaster emergency, and authorizing the governor to waive rules and regulations in order to respond more quickly to needs related to the pandemic — anything from amassing and distributing PPE and test kits, to authorizing EMTs to administer vaccines at pop-up clinics, to continuing masking and quarantine requirements in certain places or situations — were signed in March 2020 and have been extended repeatedly, first by Hochul’s predecessor Andrew Cuomo and then Hochul herself, without a lull.
As things return to “normal” 2-1/2 years after the pandemic’s onset, these extensions cease to make sense. PPE and test kits are plentiful and easy to acquire. Vaccines are readily available from private as well as public healthcare sources. Hotly debated masking, distancing and testing requirements in public schools were finally ditched, and earlier this week Hochul lifted the masking requirement in public transit systems, airports, correctional facilities and homeless shelters. What’s left to manage, or control, other than the masking requirement that’s still in effect at healthcare facilities and nursing homes?
Certain spending decisions, according to some critics of New York’s endless state of emergency.
Good government groups and some lawmakers note that the disaster declaration blocks the state comptroller’s office from scrutinizing Covid-related state purchasing deals. That’s problematic in the abstract, and even more so in real time, considering the recent revelation that the state awarded multi-million or -billion dollar contracts, without a competitive bidding process, to entities linked to donations to Hochul’s campaign. Absent a comptroller’s review, we have no way of knowing whether those deals were done properly or in the public’s best interest.
The disaster declaration also cut the legislative branch out of the decision-making process about the rules — masking, etc. — that every New Yorker has to live by. When Covid was unfamiliar, and hundreds of people were dying daily from the disease, one-size-fits-all rules set by the state health department, in consultation with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, made sense. We’re well past that now, thankfully, and most of us accept that avoidance and mitigation are personal responsibilities.
Hochul’s latest Covid disaster emergency declaration expires on Monday. For the sake of transparency, checks and balances, and small “d” democratic order, she ought to let it go. | https://www.lockportjournal.com/opinion/our-view-the-covid-emergency-has-passed-in-new-york-so-too-should-the-governors/article_bc0d98da-308a-11ed-9c41-27c88d595703.html | 2022-09-10T06:59:51Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/opinion/our-view-the-covid-emergency-has-passed-in-new-york-so-too-should-the-governors/article_bc0d98da-308a-11ed-9c41-27c88d595703.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

It was hard to tell what was pouring more on Friday, the rain or the yellow penalty flags during Charter Oak’s football game against visiting Chino Hills.
It was exhausting for everyone, with drive after drive stalled by both teams on a penalty-filled night that didn’t allow for much excitement.
And the night grew somber when Chino Hills senior Jadon VanVoorhis was injured late in the third quarter following a collision with his own player while trying to make a tackle. VanVoorhis appeared to suffer an injury to his head/neck area. Paramadics arrived and took Van Voorhis to a local hospital.
When play resumed, it was a wild final five minutes.
Richie Munoz’s 30-yard touchdown pass to Solomon Davis was the game-winner for Charter Oak with 3:12 left, leading to a 16-15 victory.
Chino Hills had a chance to win late, but fumbled on the Chargers’ 25-yard line and the Chargers recovered and held on to win.

Munoz looked like he was about to be sacked, but found a way to keep the play alive to make the play.
“It was amazing,” Munoz said. “I evaded the pressure and I found him (Davis). We talked at halftime that we were going to finish this together and we’re going to win this game. And it ended up being us on the game-winning play.
Davis saw Munoz scrambling and he broke for a spot where he could find him.
“I saw Richie trying to evade the sack and with the connection we have, we’ve known each other for a while and we’re family,” Davis said. “He put it in the air and I finished it for him.”
The Chargers had trailed all evening before finally taking its first lead after Luis Marin’s 30-yard field goal for a 10-9 advantage with 9:50 to play.
But Chino Hills answered on the ensuing possession with Hunter Corbin scoring on a 19-yard touchdown run to give the Huskies a 15-10 lead.
But the Chargers eventually answered to improve to 3-0 while handing the Huskies (3-1) their first loss.
Munoz passed for 230 yards and a touchdown to lead everyone statistically.
Points weren’t a problem early in the game.
Chino Hills nearly scored on an impressive opening drive before stalling out on a fourth-down pass that came up short near the Chargers’ goal-line.
But the Huskies’ good work didn’t go unrewarded.
On the next play, the Chino Hills defense corralled Charter Oak running back Zakkarii Black in the end zone for a safety and 2-0 lead.
Charter Oak’s Munoz got the Chargers going with 20-yard and 24-yard passes that set up Black for a 12-yard touchdown run and 7-2 lead with 4:41 left in the opening quarter.
But the Chargers’ lead lasted about 20 seconds because the Huskies’ Donnie Parish returned the kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown to go back up, 9-7.
The score remained that way until half with both teams heavily penalized, stalling potential game-scoring drives for both teams.

The fantasy football season is officially upon us, and though we seemed to escape the preseason with fewer impact injuries than in years prior, some managers still find themselves in need of Week 1 help from the waiver wire.
If you are mired in such a predicament, fear not, as there are still a few possibilities available. Running backs are always tough to come by this early, but you can boost your roster with a few veteran wideouts likely still available.
With Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard likely to miss Week 1, there are even more questions surrounding the receiving targets for Aaron Rodgers. Though everyone is fawning all over rookies Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, you should set your sights on veteran Sammy Watkins. Yes, that Sammy Watkins. When you stop laughing and are ready to feast, you should continue on.
The biggest knock on Watkins is that he’s always hurt. We won’t deny that, as he has missed 18 games over the past four years. But he is healthy now and is as notorious for his Week 1 heroics as he is for his season-long absences.
Last season, he had four catches for 96 yards for the Ravens in Week 1 against the Raiders. With the Chiefs, he opened the 2020 season with seven catches for 82 yards and a touchdown after a mammoth nine grabs for 198 yards and three scores the season before that. We don’t care about his season-long longevity here. We just want to use him for one week, and with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball, he really couldn’t be in a better situation.
The big joke in fantasy is that we aren’t looking for Mr. Right when Mr. Right Now is hanging out on your waiver wire. Watkins is the perfect example. You could also look to Detroit’s D.J. Chark, who fits a similar mold. He is often hurt, but he’s healthy now, and with rookie Jameson Williams on the shelf for six weeks, Chark will see all the snaps as the Lions’ No. 2 receiver.
Neither Watkins nor Chark profiles as a full-season option, but both were left untouched in most drafts and should shine early this season. Even if the shine comes off in Week 2.

MIAMI — Starling Marte’s right middle finger was swollen and sore Friday, keeping him on the Mets’ bench and possibly trending him toward a stint on the injured list.
The Mets outfielder planned to test the finger — diagnosed two days earlier with a non-displaced fracture — during pregame drills, to see how he could grip the bat and the baseball. Marte sustained the injury in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, when he was drilled by a pitch.
After the Mets’ 6-3 loss to the Marlins, however, manager Buck Showalter said Marte didn’t attempt any baseball activities Friday, but would try Saturday.
“He’s a good player worth waiting on,” Showalter said.
Showalter said the team would have to project when Marte could be ready if deciding to keep him on the active roster. That decision likely will come Saturday, when the Mets will begin losing backdated days for a potential IL stint.
Marte can still be used as a pinch runner, but Showalter said the risk of further injury to the finger sliding into a base might outweigh the benefits of such usage. The Mets also have Terrance Gore on the roster as a late-inning speed threat.
“I would be concerned about [Marte pinch-running], but if it meant winning the game I would take that chance,” Showalter said. “I am really concerned about a displacement. We’re fortunate [the fracture] is not displaced, and I wouldn’t want to take the risk of displacing it. Until they feel it’s not as much an issue, I would probably be cautious with it.”
Marte said he thought it would be at least a few days until he can rejoin the starting lineup.
“When you get an injury like this, it’s tough,” Marte said. “We’re still in first place, and to lose a guy it’s very tough. I feel sad and will keep doing what I am doing right now.”
Tylor Megill pitched a scoreless inning of relief Friday for Triple-A Syracuse. The plan now is for Megill to work more than three outs on Tuesday for Syracuse, as the Mets test him for a potential multi-inning role in the bullpen.
The Mets have been monitoring Taijuan Walker after he departed his last start with a blister on his index finger, but the right-hander remains in the rotation and is scheduled to start Sunday against the Marlins. If Walker has a setback, Trevor Williams would get the start in his place, according to Showalter.
Adonis Medina cleared waivers and was outrighted to Syracuse. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/starling-martes-fractured-finger-gives-mets-a-tricky-decision/ | 2022-09-10T07:07:53Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/starling-martes-fractured-finger-gives-mets-a-tricky-decision/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Moving forward, we’ll put our prediction contest in this weekly pick ‘em post.
All times below are Pacific Standard time:
49ers @ Bears - Sunday, September 11, 10:00 AM
Browns @ Panthers - Sunday, September 11, 10:00 AM
Jaguars @ Commanders - Sunday, September 11, 10:00 AM
Packers @ Vikings- Sunday, September 11, 1:25 PM
Raiders @ Chargers - Sunday, September 11, 1:25 PM
Buccaneers @ Cowboys - Sunday, September 11, 5:20 PM
Visiting Team @ Home Team: Visiting Team score - Home Team score
Using the 49ers @ Bears game as an example. If you think San Francisco will win 24-13 the required format is:
49ers @ Bears 24-13
If you think the Bears will win 14-13, the required format is:
49ers @ Bears, 13-14.
If provided, a bold highlight of the winning team will override a conflicting score format. A bold highlight of the intended winning team is not necessary but helps clarify the winning team in case of an error in the scoring format, for example:
49ers @ Bears 23-27 would be scored as San Francisco winning 27-23 based on the bold highlight of the Niners as the intended winning team. Likewise, 49ers @ Bears 27-23 would be scored as Chicago winning based on the bold highlight of the Bears.
A bold highlight of the team’s individual score is unnecessary (and could complicate things anyway) and won’t be considered in the scoring, such as 49ers @ Bears 27-23 (no need to bold the score).
You can post scoring predictions at any time up until the start of the official game time. You can even change your scoring predictions multiple times if needed. If you make a mistake in the formatting, we’ll try to reply to your score, reminding you to correct it or clarify. Changes must be made as a reply to your original post. Scores must post by the start of the official game time or will be considered late and not counted in the scoring totals.
In case scores are posted past the scheduled game start time, we will resolve any disputes using ESPN’s game summary. The box score summary will have the actual and official game start times. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/9/9/23345647/49ers-bears-nn-prediction-contest | 2022-09-10T07:08:49Z | ninersnation.com | control | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/9/9/23345647/49ers-bears-nn-prediction-contest | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Welcoming in the Park Rapids Area Panthers to Otter Stadium for their home opener, on Sept. 9, the Fergus Falls Otters football team got some late magic to come away with a thrilling 17-14 victory. The contest started out like a track meet before the two defenses settled in.
Fergus got the ball to open the contest and went 10 plays and 63 yards for a touchdown. Brayden Nelson hit Levi King for a 25 yard gain, giving the Otters a first down in the red zone. Facing fourth and goal from the three, Griffin Babolian bounced off of a few would-be tacklers and found the end zone. Jaydon Manteufel added the extra point, giving Fergus the 7-0 lead.
The visitors answered with a touchdown drive of their own, going 74 yards on seven plays, with a 12-yard touchdown run by quarterback Noah Morris.
After a return to the Otters 41 on the ensuing kickoff, Babolian took the hand-off on the first play 59-yards for his second touchdown of the night. Manteufel’s kick after was good and the Otters led 14-7.
Moments into the second quarter, the Panthers got a 49-yard touchdown run from Jaydon Walen. Walen added the extra point and the contest was tied once again.
The rest of the first half saw the two defenses dig in. Both sides turned the ball over and heading into the break, the score was locked at 14 all.
Beginning the second half, both teams moved the ball but ultimately punted, keeping the game tied halfway through the third quarter.
Following a Park Rapids punt, King ripped off a 25-yard run, moving the ball into Panthers territory. On fourth down, the Otters threw an interception. The next play, Walen scampered for 69 yards, setting up Park Rapids with first and goal at the eight, as the third quarter ended.
A holding penalty set the Panthers back, ultimately electing to kick a 33-yard field goal, which was no good. Fergus would go three and out, giving the ball back to Park Rapids right around midfield with eight minutes left in regulation.
The visitors flirted with the red zone but a penalty set them back and they eventually turned the ball over on downs with 3:38 left in regulation. It was then a three and out for the Otters and a short punt gave the Panthers solid field position, with two minutes left.
Park Rapids would move the ball down to the Otters 12-yard line before fumbling the ball away. Carston Fronning came up with the strip, giving Fergus the ball back with one minute left in regulation.
After picking up a first down, the Otters got a 58-yard connection from Nelson to King, setting the Otters up with first and goal from the eight-yard line, with 11 seconds left. After an incomplete pass, Fergus elected to kick a 24-yard field goal.
Manteufel, a senior, calmly stepped up and drilled the kick, giving Fergus the lead with three seconds left. The following kickoff was run out of bounds and the Otters picked up the victory.
“Offensively, we were assignment sound in that first quarter,” said Otters coach Steve Olson. “Defensively we struggled to tackle early on, but did enough to win. A lot of it can be attributed to inexperienced players, thinking too much out on the field and not playing as fast as they can, but that will come with playing time.”
For Park Rapids, Walen finished with 18 carries for 204 yards and one touchdown. Morris rushed 10 times for 54 yards and was 9-11 with 111 passing yards. The Panthers finished with 371 yards.
Fergus was led by Babolian, who had 17 carries for 166 yards and a pair of scores. King had six rushes for 26 yards and also two receptions for 82 yards. The Otters had 306 yards of offense in the game.
“Manteufel has put in a lot of time into his kicking game over the summer,” said Olson. “We’ve been blessed with having a great relationship with the soccer program and having a kicker that we can count on.”
Now at 1-1 on the season, the Otters will be back at home next Friday (Sept. 16), hosting Pequot Lakes. | https://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/sports/late-heroics-give-otters-win-on-home-opener-manteufel-kicks-game-winning-field-goal/article_a359c2a6-30b1-11ed-aca3-1bff4b129e08.html | 2022-09-10T07:12:48Z | fergusfallsjournal.com | control | https://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/sports/late-heroics-give-otters-win-on-home-opener-manteufel-kicks-game-winning-field-goal/article_a359c2a6-30b1-11ed-aca3-1bff4b129e08.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The first updated COVID booster called the bivalent booster is now available at pharmacies and clinics across Tennessee. This is the first booster meant to target COVID variants specifically.
We spoke with local medical experts to find out what's new about this booster and if an annual COVID shots could be coming in the future.
“As history has kind of shown us this last year, this thing is changing rapidly so we’ll just have to wait and see,” said Pharmacist Jake Standefer.
The bivalent booster is meant to target new omicron sub-variants mutating around the world. Depending on how well our bodies fight the virus, we may end up getting our COVID vaccine along with our annual flu shot each fall.
"That's the goal. Hopefully they put it together with the flu shot, then in the fall you get your COVID shot and flu shot altogether and that gives you some protection to get through the year," said Standefer.
Jake Standefer, Pharmacist with Access Family Pharmacy says he has administered as many as five booster shots to a single patient this past year because COVID has continued to mutate and the CDC recommends boosters to keep people immunized.
We asked Dr. Jensen Hyde with Erlanger why the original one or two doses of the COVID vaccine were not enough. Dr. Hyde explained every vaccine we use for different viruses will have ranging lengths of immunity. For example the measles vaccine is only given once when the patient is a child.
"Some vaccines like tetanus are a childhood series you then need boosted periodically," said Hyde.
Dr. Hyde says the first round of boosters from last year was recommended after medical experts learned the original vaccine provided protection from COVID for only around four months. And as the virus has mutated more and more, the CDC recommends continued boosters.
"I think people can wrap their heads around this being more of a seasonal thing, verses as it being approached as an endless series of boosters," said Dr. Hyde.
Dr. Hyde says the new bivalent booster has traces of the original vaccine and has only been altered to target omicron sub-variants.
She says if the booster works as expected it is very likely an annual shot will become the new normal.
"Our children's children will probably need some COVID vaccine," said Dr. Hyde.
Dr. Hyde says nothing is official as far as annual COVID shot.
Right now the CDC has recommended anyone six months and older to get the original COVID shot. People five years or older can get the original booster shot, and people 12 years or older can now get the updated Pfizer or Moderna bivalent booster. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/covid-booster-may-be-given-annually-coupled-with-flu-shot/article_c3c1d092-30b1-11ed-aea1-c79f407b4ea8.html | 2022-09-10T07:18:13Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/covid-booster-may-be-given-annually-coupled-with-flu-shot/article_c3c1d092-30b1-11ed-aea1-c79f407b4ea8.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
HONOLULU (KITV4) -- It's been more than two decades since a man was stranded on an Oahu trail -- but he hasn't yet fully recovered from the harrowing experience.
What was supposed to be a hike over the Ko'olau Mountains, ended up being stranded for days for Daniel Rasmussen. Now, 25 years later, he's still surprised he made it out alive. He's returned to Oahu to finally come to terms with the experience.
Since getting his second lease on life -- Rasmussen, who also goes by Dan Martin, his middle name -- has traveled the world, published three books, become an engineer for NASA, and started a rehab facility for zoo and circus animals.
But decades ago -- his life was almost cut short. Now 45 years old, the Texas resident recalls the harrowing hike that changed everything.
He had never gone on this specific hike -- from Poamoho Trail down to Malaekahana State Park -- but had been to several other hikes around Oahu.
A tour helicopter spotted him and called for Honolulu fire crews to airlift him out -- he was then treated for minor injuries.
Luckily, he's gained a new hiking -- and life partner along the way: his partner Julia Vang, who couldn't believe his story. "I was flabbergasted. I was like, I can't believe you're here."
His advice to other hikers: "Research [the trail], definitely [bring] a couple of phones, and definitely a partner. That's what I would've done different."

The US Food and Drug Administration is alerting the public about certain cancers -- including squamous cell carcinoma and various lymphoma -- that have been reported in the scar tissue that forms around breast implants.
The FDA announced Thursday that although it believes that occurrences of squamous cell carcinoma and various lymphomas in the capsule around breast implants may be rare, health care providers and people who have or are considering breast implants should be aware of these cases -- and report them or any other cancers found around the implant to the agency.
These various lymphomas are not the same as lymphomas that have previously been described as associated with breast implants, according to the FDA's announcement.
The FDA said that, after a preliminary review of published literature, it is aware of fewer than 20 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and fewer than 30 cases of various lymphomas in the capsule around the breast implant.
As of last week, the FDA has received 10 medical device reports about squamous cell carcinoma related to breast implants and 12 medical device reports about various lymphomas related to breast implants, the announcement said.
People with breast implants do not need to change their routine medical care, according to the FDA, but they should be aware that some of the reported signs and symptoms included swelling, pain, lumps or changes in the skin.
The agency said it learned about these reports of squamous cell carcinoma and various lymphomas during an ongoing postmarket review of the safety of breast implants in the United States.
"Reports submitted to the FDA are just one source the FDA uses to monitor the safety of medical devices, in addition to mandated postmarket studies, published literature, and real-world data from registries and claims databases," the announcement said. "The FDA will continue to gather and review all available data from these sources to evaluate the occurrence of cancers in the capsule around breast implants."
The exact incidence rate and risk factors for these cancers remain unknown, and "this is an emerging issue and our understanding is evolving."
A history of health concerns and breast implants
A link between breast implants and systemic disease, including autoimmune disease, has been reported since the 1960s, according to a paper published this month in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
In 2011, the FDA first identified a possible association between breast implants and the development of a rare cancer called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL.
In 2019, the pharmaceutical company Allergan issued a worldwide recall of Biocell textured breast implants and tissue expanders that have been linked to the rare cancer. The move came after the FDA requested that the manufacturer voluntarily recall the products, and the FDA maintains a registry to which doctors are supposed to report cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma in people with breast implants.
Since then, efforts have been made to better inform breast implant patients about potential health risks.
Last year, the FDA made several changes to breast implant regulations, including new labeling with a boxed warning and a patient checklist that informs people that implants are not a medical device that will last a lifetime.
The FDA said it decided to restrict the sale of breast implants to health care providers who offer patients a standardized checklist that explains the risks. The changes require doctors to walk patients through these potential health problems and to give the patient an opportunity to sign off on the checklist to show that they were properly informed about the risks to their health.
Although most women have breast implants with no serious complications, as many as 20% of women who get implants for augmentation have to have their implants removed within eight to 10 years, owing to complications, according to the FDA.
The older the implants are, the more health risks they pose, and those risks could require additional surgery.
"Breast implants are not meant to be lifetime devices. They have a lifespan, and that might range from seven to 10-plus years, based on the implant and patient," Dr. Tommaso Addona, a plastic surgeon and president of the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group in New York, told CNN in 2019 when the FDA held a meeting to review the safety of breast implants.
He added that he often discusses benefits and risks with his own patients.
"We do discuss complications. Those range from scarring around the implant, sometimes soreness and discomfort from the implant ... to in the last seven years, probably a bit more, we've become more acutely aware of a specific type of lymphoma that is associated with breast implants," he said. "What the general public should appreciate is, as doctors and clinicians, we always want what's best and safest for our patients.

The Grundy County Sheriff's office is dealing with a staffing shortage. Several employees resigned after former Sheriff Clint Shrum was defeated by Heath Gunter in the August election.
Sheriff Gunter said he thinks they left because they have loyalty to former Sheriff Shrum. The shortage is forcing him to put SROs on this staff.
Sheriff Gunter has been in command for seven days and without 12 deputies, two corrections officers and five members of the administrative staff.
"They felt like they had a camaraderie to him- a set of duty- and maybe some of them did not want to work for me," Sheriff Gunter said.
The resignation forced him to take the two SROs out of schools.
"Those deputies are being used for road patrol right now but we are still answering calls at the schools," said Sheriff Gunter.
A call they say they responded to Thursday morning was when a student took an airsoft pistol or toy gun to North Elementary school.
People were worried but Clint Durley, the Grundy County Schools Director, said the student had no intent to harm others.
"They (The Sheriff's Office) have been more than helpful covering from one end of the county to the next," said Durley.
He said they have security measures in place like new cameras, gates, and central office supervisors.
"Experienced administrators, we've got great teachers and we also have some of the best kids we have ever been around in my life," said Durley.
He looks forward to working with the new sheriff to put SROs back in schools.
"Everything that I have gotten from our conversations as of recent has indicated that is going to be our approach," said Durley.
"Thank you to Sheriff Shrum for setting me up to hit the ground running. I don't hold him accountable for the officers leaving," said Sheriff Gunter.
He said he has close to 85 percent of his staff now and hopes to put SROs back in schools by next week. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/grundy-county-sheriffs-office-faces-staffing-shortage-after-resignations/article_166d44e0-2fc5-11ed-b316-57552cf3de1a.html | 2022-09-10T07:18:44Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/grundy-county-sheriffs-office-faces-staffing-shortage-after-resignations/article_166d44e0-2fc5-11ed-b316-57552cf3de1a.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Hamilton County Schools is partnering with local communities to provide more resources to families experiencing homelessness.
“We’re really working to try to get kids enrolled in school right now," said Hamilton County Schools Homeless Liaison Laura Grier.
Grier is working day after day to help children in Hamilton County experiencing homelessness.
“Just bringing awareness to the program and the services and trying to reduce the stigma around the word homeless is really the main focus right now," said Grier.
She's been working to help these children for three years, counting 1,700 children last year.
“We have to re-identify all the families each year, so the social workers and staff are helping us do that right now and we’re almost up to 300," said Grier.
She said numbers are already high this year, but worries they still don't accurately represent homelessness numbers in Hamilton County Schools.
“The numbers have risen since I first started," said Grier. "I still feel like because families are scared to come forward, we’re just at the tip of the iceberg right now.”
She said she's working to overcome the stigma of homelessness and partner with local organizations to support these families.
“Just trying to set up some local libraries at the shelters, we’re going to have some school level liaisons at the school," said Grier. "That way we can have a point of contact at each school to be able to reach out to their social worker.”
She said local organizations are a big help and individuals can as well by donating through the Hamilton County School district website.
“They can go to that, they can select families in transition," said Grier. "There’s also one for care closets, that will help restock some of our local schools with care and supplies and clothing.” | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/hamilton-county-schools-works-to-support-families-experiencing-homelessness/article_3c74046c-2f89-11ed-8ea2-d784a6f734c3.html | 2022-09-10T07:18:50Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/hamilton-county-schools-works-to-support-families-experiencing-homelessness/article_3c74046c-2f89-11ed-8ea2-d784a6f734c3.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Residents across Chattooga County are still dealing with the after-effects of heavy rainfall that triggered widespread flash flooding this past Sunday.
Some areas received as much as 13" of rain in under 12 hours, leading to significant flooding issues.
Berryton Bible Mission Church suffered the impacts of the extreme rainfall as rising water quickly overwhelmed the church. The water rose to levels as high as 4.5 feet inside the church.
Everything inside of the church sustained damage, and the church itself is a total loss.
"I'm just glad my dad is not here to see it. It's just heartbreaking right now," said worship leader Jonathan Rutledge.
The church is technically in a flood zone, which is not covered by the churches insurance plan.
"The insurance that we had on the church, we were notified that there was no flood insurance because it was a flood zone. So at this time, we are not going to rebuild here because the building will take more to fix than even rebuild," said Rutledge.
Despite the recent devastation, the congregation plans to rebuild.
"So we are going to find land and hopefully in the near future and with God's help and with the money coming in, we believe it is going to happen... we are going to rebuild," said Rutledge.

This Friday marks one week from when Memphis runner and mother Eliza Fletcher was abducted and then later killed.
People across Chattanooga came together to honor her and finish what she started.
"It was heart-wrenching to hear what she had to go through," said runner Liza Vannoy.
Vannoy has laced up her running shoes for 38 years.
She hit the pavement as a former teacher and mother on Friday to honor someone just like her: Eliza Fletcher.
"There's something beautiful about running and training for something outside of being a Mom and teaching," said Fletcher.
Jenny Fogo organized this run to bring together more women just like Fletcher and finish the run Fletcher started before being abducted.
"I feel like I am Liza, as most of the women here felt today probably," said Fletcher.
Fogo said Fletcher's story sat with many people who ran both in Chattanooga and across the country.
"We wanted to stand in solidarity with those in Memphis who are running for her today, finishing her run," said Fogo. "Really people across the nation are doing that."
Fogo said this didn't feel like just another race, but instead a mission to bring women and men together in honor of Fletcher.
"We realized why we were running and why we were here," said Fogo. "We're finishing the run she didn't get to finish, so it's really emotional to think about."
Vannoy said she's walking away with more awareness about safety when it comes to doing something as simple as going for a run.
"It affected me most as a Mom of two daughters and both are runners and just the awareness of 'yes, it's a beautiful place, Chattanooga's amazing to run trails or roads but again the safety measures,'" said Vannoy.
Fogo and Vannoy said they are both grateful to do something as simple as go for a run then go home.
"I get to go home," said Fogo. "I get to go hug my children an she doesn't get to do that."
"If anyone from Memphis hears this or sees this, just know Chattanooga's praying for you," said Vannoy. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/local-woman-organizes-run-in-honor-of-memphis-runner-eliza-fletcher/article_ade09ae6-3044-11ed-b2fc-0ba119afdb87.html | 2022-09-10T07:19:32Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/local-woman-organizes-run-in-honor-of-memphis-runner-eliza-fletcher/article_ade09ae6-3044-11ed-b2fc-0ba119afdb87.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A Chattanooga Radio Host moved to the United States from London nearly 50 years ago. He is sharing his thoughts of Queen Elizabeth’s legacy.
While many may look at Queen Elizabeth's death as a mark in history, Richard Winham sees it as a shift from the 20th century to the 21st.
“When she died yesterday, a lot of people said it was like losing a grandmother and it kind of felt that way. She transcended politics, she transcended pop culture; she had that ability to rise above all of it,” Winham said.
Winham was born in London, England and stayed there until his early twenties before making his way to the United States to pursue a career in the radio industry.
For the last five years, he has been a host and producer at WUTC radio station.
While growing up in London, he remembers Queen Elizabeth taking the time out of her day on one of the most precious holidays to talk to her people.
“I knew the Queen as almost everybody does: from the television, because she would talk to everybody in the country, every Christmas. It is a ritual of Christmas afternoon, at three o'clock she comes on the T.V. and everybody sits down and stops raving and jumping up and down and doing Christmas stuff. Everything goes quiet and for 20 minutes. You listen to the Queen talk about whatever she is going to talk about,” Winham said.
He said the Queen meant continuity to his family and he believes she meant that to everyone in the United Kingdom.
“She was in, every sense as you will, an island, a figure. She met prime ministers, she met presidents, she saw them come and go, and she was still here,” Winham said.
Now that the Queen has passed, King Charles will be picking up where she left off.
Winham said he wishes King Charles the best in his new role, but thinks his time has passed.
“Well to be honest with you, if I were Charles I would defer to my son and say this is a new generation, this is the generation that is running the world now, and this is the person that should be King,” Winham said. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/london-native-now-chattanooga-radio-host-talks-queen-elizabeth/article_f1affa92-3075-11ed-82b0-0bc64e74a9e5.html | 2022-09-10T07:19:38Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/london-native-now-chattanooga-radio-host-talks-queen-elizabeth/article_f1affa92-3075-11ed-82b0-0bc64e74a9e5.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
"It's a difficult thing to basically see the obliteration of a nation. It's been gradually destroyed neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city," said missionary Jeff Abrams.
A missionary from North Alabama is sharing his story of what it's like in Ukraine amid Russia's ongoing invasion.
Jeff Abrams knows Ukraine well. He’s been traveling there to do mission work since 1993.
The North Alabama man has made approximately 100 trips to the country, twice since the war began, to help people evacuate.
“It seems to me that the main thing that our friends in Ukraine need is us. They need us to remember them. They need us to not get distracted. This war has now been happening for six months and we Americans have a short attention span,” he told Local 3 News.
Through the years, Abrams has met people in Ukraine who have become more like family and he continues to worry about their safety as he watches what's happening from afar.
"A lady named Anna. She's the oldest Christian that we know about in Ukraine. She's about 98 years old,” said Abrams.
Even in the midst of uncertainty, he says her faith is strong.
Anna refuses to evacuate to a safer place and is an area where the government is requiring all citizens to leave.
She survived World War II and believes she can survive this.
"Anna told me her next stop if she leaves is heaven. There’s just a lot of faith in her decision,” said Abrams.
With so many people evacuated, there’s little food and resources available.
"This winter there's going to be no heat there. Can you imagine you've got a 98 year-old, she's like a mother to me, and how is she going to make it without heat?” said Abrams.
When members of the Red Bank Church of Christ's sewing ministry heard there was a need, they went to work, making beautiful quilts to send to Ukraine to keep people warm this winter.
Abrams collected the quilts during a recent visit to the church.
He's traveling to churches throughout the southeast describing what it's like for those still living in a country under attack.
He's asking people not to forget.
"They need financial support, they need quilts, there is nothing that they don't need that we have the means to provide,” said Abrams.

We have a big scholarship winner in our School Patrol report. The Horatio Alger Scholarship assists high school students who have faced and overcome great obstacles. That describes Monica Walker of Ridgeland High School, and we re proud to introduce her to you tonight.
Monica is a high scoring student, a hard worker, and a club leader. At home, the 17-year-old is the single mom of 3 year old Luke. It isn’t easy combining academics with parenting, but she’s determined to excel at both.
Monica said," It’s really rough to be away from him. But the more I’m at school, the better education I will get, and the better person I can be for Luke."
It’s that attitude that inspired her teachers to nominate her for a national program that awards $25,000 scholarships to only 100 students nationwide. To the surprise of no one who knows her, Monica got the prize. Her life experience raising Luke has instilled maturity beyond her years.
Teacher Meg Carpenter said, "It’s difficult for students to be proactive, I have to tell them to make calls. Monica just does all that. She takes care of it, just like a mother does."
She comes prepared for book studies, and hands-on work in the agricultural woodworking class. She says Luke inspires her to succeed, and she strives to be a role model for other students who may have challenging situations at home. She’s thankful for the educators at Ridgeland.
Monica said, "They show compassion of what has happened in my life. The teachers understand what I’m going through and they’re here to support me. And so is the administration here."
Teacher Tracie Wimpee said, "Monica has been in my class since her Sophomore year. She was this quiet, hard worker that excelled in everything she did. With everything she has stacked against her she doesn't let it stop her. She finds a way to get it done. She is very active in the many of the clubs we have here at Ridgeland. She has already applied to UTC for their nursing program and she will take her test in May in my class for her certification as a Patient Care Technician. I am so proud of Monica and there is no doubt in my mind that she will succeed in anything she wants to do."
Monica’s teen years have been like few others, but she hopes the attention she’s receiving, and the good that can come from her scholarship will make an impression on other students that they too can overcome anything life might throw at them.
Monica said, "You can always get through it. You will always have people at school, or friends, you will always have a support system."
Next spring, Monica will visit Washington DC where she will be among the honorees at the National Scholars Conference, before she enrolls in UTC, with a goal of being a labor and delivery nurse, like the ones who took good care of her at Parkridge when she was only 14. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/ridgeland-student-wins-25-000-scholarship-for-overcoming-obstacles/article_213d7218-307f-11ed-8309-abce32b5ccc2.html | 2022-09-10T07:20:09Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/ridgeland-student-wins-25-000-scholarship-for-overcoming-obstacles/article_213d7218-307f-11ed-8309-abce32b5ccc2.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
It was a great week for restaurants in the Tennessee Valley – there are no failing scores to report.
However, there were bugs in one Cleveland restaurant causing them to nearly fail.
New Dynasty Buffet on Keith Street scored a 74.
The inspector said there were roaches on the prep table, in the flour, at the dishwasher, on shelves at the cook line and in the storage room.
It was noted the last extermination for roaches was on August 16.
Two of the dining rooms were filled with toys and other things not used for the restaurant according to the inspector.
The dishwasher was not sanitizing and the inside of the ice machine was dirty.
The inspector saw utensils being stored in between two coolers.
Medicine and vitamins were stored over food and Raid was stored with cleaning chemicals.
Raw meat was seen stored over a sauce pan in a cooler, and the walk-in cooler needed more light.
If you have a question about a restaurant, hotel, pool or gym – call your local health department.

The TVA Police Cultural Resources Saturation & Education Event will continue on Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm at the Taylor Boat Ramp at Chickamauga Lake. The main goal of the two-day event is to spread awareness to the public about the importance of protecting cultural resources across the Tennessee Valley.
TVA manages over 12,500 archaeological and historical sites across a seven-state region. In 1979 the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) was signed into law, making it illegal to take artifacts from archaeological sites on federal property.
Anyone convicted of looting artifacts under ARPA can face up to five years in prison and a hefty fine.
"Vandalizing, stealing, specifically artifacts over 100 years old that we investigate, start an investigation, and they are subject to prosecution under that act," explained Tim Dilbeck, a TVA police officer.
Not only can looting result in jail time, but according to TVA archaeologist Mike Angst, it takes away from our history.
"Damaging an archaeological site... well first off, it is a crime. Also, it is a loss of history that affects all of us," said Angst.
Officer Dilbeck encourages individuals to report any suspicious activity directly to the TVA Police.
"If you see somebody on the lake bed digging or collecting stuff, metal detecting, or diving for that matter. We have had cases in the past where we have had divers collect artifacts from the bottom of the lake. Call TVA police," said Dilbeck.
Call the TVA Police toll-free at 855-476-2489 if you suspect that someone is looting on at an archaeological site. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/tva-hosts-cultural-resources-education-event-at-chickamauga-lake/article_2de6be54-3073-11ed-92a8-ebddd5b5f0ea.html | 2022-09-10T07:20:52Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/tva-hosts-cultural-resources-education-event-at-chickamauga-lake/article_2de6be54-3073-11ed-92a8-ebddd5b5f0ea.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

It has been 21 years since 9/11, when four planes were hijacked, the Twin Towers fell, the Pentagon was hit and thousands of lives were lost.
On the 21st anniversary of this tragedy, the city of St. Johns will come together to remember all the first responders who put their lives on the line that day, while also honoring local first responders, with the unveiling of a mural.
The mural on the St. Johns Fire Station, designed by Tracie Davis and painted in-part by the community back in June, is officially finished.
It will be dedicated to local first responders, law enforcement officials and healthcare professionals on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 9 a.m. at the fire station on State Street.
Clinton County Prosecutor Tony Spagnuolo, state Rep. Graham Filler, state Sen. Tom Barrett, Fire Chief Jordan Whitford and Police Chief David Kirk will all be in attendance for the ceremony. | https://www.fox17online.com/news/st-johns-will-dedicate-new-mural-to-first-responders-on-9-11 | 2022-09-10T07:21:09Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/news/st-johns-will-dedicate-new-mural-to-first-responders-on-9-11 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
UPDATE: Two brothers that became lost over Labor Day weekend in the Cherokee National Forest have been safely found.
The two spent nearly three days lost in the woods, according to Knoxville NBC affiliate WBIR.
Both were said to be experienced hikers, and were found by rescue teams Wednesday. They were hungry, tired and dehydrated.
The steady days of rain may have contributed to the troubles Ryan McClain and his brother, Sean McClain encountered.
Trails were difficult to find and navigate.
PREVIOUS STORY: Members with the Chattanooga Hamilton County Rescue Service are actively searching for missing hikers in Cherokee National Forest.
Crews say the terrain is rugged and the wildness isn’t an easy environment to search in.
Multiple agencies and volunteers have been working together inside the Cherokee National Forest on a search mission for two hikers who went missing on September 5, 2022.
The last known location of the hikers was the Grassy Gap Trailhead on the Cherohala Skyway National Scenic Byway (TN-165).
Both of the hikers are Caucasian males and appeared to be in their mid-50’s. One hiker was wearing a white t-shirt, black shorts, and white sneakers. The other hiker was wearing a white t-shirt, brown shorts, and white sneakers.
Rescue crews ask residents to please keep their eyes open if traveling in this area. If you see anything that could lead to the rescue of these hikers, please go to a location with cellular service and call 423-442-HELP. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/update-missing-hikers-found-in-the-cherokee-national-forest/article_68f5cc4a-2eb3-11ed-b615-e75e7b04dede.html | 2022-09-10T07:21:23Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/update-missing-hikers-found-in-the-cherokee-national-forest/article_68f5cc4a-2eb3-11ed-b615-e75e7b04dede.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Smartphones make it easy for people to stay in touch and even keep track of loved ones. Many times, spouses will and family members will use the same Apple ID. That's fine for many people but when a relationship turns sour, a smartphone can easily allow an ex-partner to stalk, threaten, and harass their former partner.
Apple is making it easier for people at risk of domestic assaults to cut ties with a former partner or spouse.
Coming in iOS 16 is Apple's new tool called Safety Check. After you upgrade to the new operating system you'll find it in settings under privacy and security.
There are two options. One is an emergency reset. This is for people who need to immediately stop someone from tracking them. With a couple of taps on the screen, it blocks everyone you've given permission to see your location and/or apps you have on your phone to gather information. It also resets emergency contacts and prompts you to set up a new device passcode.
The other option allows a user to manage sharing and access. You'll be given the opportunity to choose who to block and which apps you no longer want on your phone gathering data and information to share.
Abusers have been known to use "stalkerware", apps that you may not know are sharing your location, usernames passwords, and access to text messages, photos, calendars, and smart home devices.
Once in Safety Check, you'll see a list of every app on the device along with what information it shares and what data it has access to. If you suspect someone is following or stalking you or that someone has installed an app without your permission, you can delete any apps you don't recognize and delete any data it's gathered.
Safety Check will also show you all of the devices you're logged into with your Apple ID. This can be your ID or one you share with someone else. You'll see a list of computers, smartphones, iPads, TVs, and any smart home devices that anyone with your Apple ID and password can control or access.
Another option is to delete any or all emergency contacts and add new ones, and an easy way to change your device's passcode.
Apple also added a safety tool that can protect you if you feel you are in danger because the person you want to block is in the same room or is looking over your shoulder. A "Quick Exit" button will immediately send you back to the home screen.
You can also see all of the devices you're logged in to. Phones, Ipads, computers, TVs. Revoke access to any you don't recognize. This lets you delete emergency contacts and change your passcode.
You won't be able to use Safety Check until you upgrade to iOS 16 which will be available to everyone on September 12th. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/what-the-tech-understanding-apples-safety-check-on-ios-16/article_3e0609a6-30bf-11ed-b463-173156d9c431.html | 2022-09-10T07:21:35Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/what-the-tech-understanding-apples-safety-check-on-ios-16/article_3e0609a6-30bf-11ed-b463-173156d9c431.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Two suspects have been arrested after a pair of Cobb County, Georgia, sheriff's deputies were shot and killed while serving a warrant Thursday night in what the sheriff described as an "ambush."
The two deputies were attempting to serve a warrant for failure to appear for theft by deception, Sheriff Craig D. Owens said in a press conference.
After knocking and ringing the doorbell of a suspect's house and getting no answer, the deputies headed back to their car, Owens said. But as they got back in the car, another vehicle pulled up to the house, which they assumed to be the suspect. As the deputies moved to exit their car, shots were fired, the sheriff said.
"It's very simple. My two deputies were ambushed this evening and killed," Owens said. He did not clarify whether both suspects fired shots or whether the deputies returned fire.
The names of the two deputies, who had both been with the department for more than five years, are not being released until their entire families have been notified, Owens said.
The two suspects in the shooting are being held for questioning at the Cobb County Police Department, Owens said.
"We assume one of them did live there at that property," he said, citing the warrant.
At least one of the suspects had barricaded themselves following the shooting, the sheriff's office said in a tweet. After several hours and negotiation efforts, the standoff ended "peacefully" and the suspects were taken into custody, Owens said.
"It is a night of heartache for two families from the Cobb sheriff's office, two wives who have lost their amazing husbands," the sheriff said. "These two deputies served Cobb County with dignity and honor."
Law enforcement agencies responded to the scene, including the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and more than a dozen police departments and sheriff's offices from surrounding areas, Owens said. Cobb County police are taking over the investigation, he said.
"We need to do something, ladies and gentlemen, about these guns on the street," Owens said. "So whatever we can do to prevent gun violence, as you can see it's affecting us here in Cobb and affecting everyone across the United States of America."
Cobb County is a suburban area northwest of Atlanta.

A 15-year-old student was shot and killed in a New York City park after leaving school Wednesday, police said.
The shooting happened in McLaughlin Park in Brooklyn about 15 minutes after the teen was dismissed from his school at 1:30 p.m., NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said during a Wednesday news conference.
The student was sitting on a bench with two school-aged girls when two boys wearing ski masks approached the group, Essig said, citing witness accounts.
A verbal dispute ensued between the student and the two boys, which led to a fist fight that culminated with one of the suspects pulling out a gun and shooting the student in the stomach one time, Essig said.
At least 30 people were at the park when the confrontation happened, he added.
The suspects fled the park after the shooting. The student was taken to a hospital, where he later died, police said.
Authorities are investigating whether the attackers knew the student.
"It's always a concern to return to school. We see the shooting victims, the shooting perpetrators younger and younger and it's a great concern to us," Essig said.
In recent months, New York City saw a drop in shooting incidents and a slight increase in gun-related arrests from May 1 to September 5, according to NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell.
Homicides were also down this summer, from 184 last year to 161 this year, according to data from the New York City Police Department.
Still, overall crime during the summer months this year increased to 46,597 incidents, up from 35,995 during the same time last year, data shows.

Dewayne Tunstall had aspirations of running a food truck and planned to name it "EBE," inspired by the phrase he lived his life by: "Everybody eats," his friend Marcus Cash told CNN affiliate WMC.
But in the early hours of Wednesday, Tunstall was shot and killed while visiting Cash's house -- becoming the first victim in a violent shooting spree that gripped the city of Memphis until the suspect was arrested later that night.
The shooting rampage came just days after the body of Eliza Fletcher, a Memphis teacher who was kidnapped last Friday and murdered, was found. The string of deadly attacks across the city over the past week have elicited rage and fear from the city's leaders, who say the violence is unacceptable.
The shooting suspect, Ezekiel Kelly, 19, made his first appearance Friday in a Shelby County Courtroom for a first-degree murder charge.
Kelly has been charged in the killing of Tunstall, the first victim in the shooting spree. Authorities say the 1 a.m. shooting that left Tunstall dead set off a series of other shootings across the city which left three more people dead and three others injured.
Kelly, who was escorted by deputies into the courtroom, was shackled and wore navy jail clothes and a black face mask. He spoke briefly to address the judge's questions and did not enter a plea.
Judge Karen L. Massey appointed a public defender to represent Kelly.
She set Kelly's next motion hearing for September 13. He is being held on no bond in Shelby County Jail, records show.
Additional charges are expected, police say.
The citywide search for Kelly, also known as "Zeek Huncho," prompted a shelter-in-place order for part of the city and temporary suspension of bus and trolley services in the area.
Officers responded to the first afternoon shooting at 4:38 p.m. and found a man in his car with multiple gunshot wounds, police said. Minutes later, police said they found a woman at a different location with a gunshot wound to the leg.
Kelly was allegedly streaming on Facebook Live when he opened fire inside a store more than an hour later, according to Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn "C.J." Davis. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man who had been shot and he was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
According to police, officers then responded to three more locations, where they found a man and two women who had been shot. The man was brought to a hospital in non-critical condition, Davis said, but both women died. The gunman allegedly stole an SUV from one of the women, she said.
After learning that Kelly carjacked a person at gunpoint and took off in the victim's Dodge Challenger, the car was spotted within minutes on I-55, police said. After a high-speech car chase, Kelly was arrested and two weapons were visible in the car when he was taken into custody, Davis said.
While the motive in the attacks is still unclear, the city of Memphis must now recover from the violent rampage on several of its community members.
Tunstall's friends remember him as a young father who had ambitious dreams and a generous spirit.
"He was so sweet. He wanted to leave here. He wanted to make it. He wanted to make it in his music. He pushed all his friends to do better," Tunstall's friend Princess Onwubiko told CNN affiliate WHBQ.
Mayor decries suspect's early release from jail
Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland shared his "deepest sympathy" for the victims and their loves and condemned the violent attacks in a statement Wednesday night, arguing that they could have been preventable if not for holes in the criminal justice system.
"I am angry for them, and I'm angry for our citizens who had to shelter in place for their own safety until this suspect was caught. This is no way for us to live and it is not acceptable," Strickland said.
Kelly was released from prison in March after serving 11 months of a three-year sentence for aggravated assault. He had initially faced more serious charges in a 2020 case in Shelby County, including attempted murder, reckless endangerment, and using a firearm with intent to commit a dangerous felony, court records show, but he only pleaded guilty to the lesser aggravated assault charge.
"If Mr. Kelly served his full 3-year sentence, he would still be in prison today and 4 of our fellow citizens would still be alive," Strickland said.
In his statement, the mayor urged that "these evil actions show why truth in sentencing is a must," referencing a new law in Tennessee that will require those convicted of some violent crimes to carry out their full prison sentence.
CNN has reached out to the Shelby County Public Defender for comment.

A Washington state public school district will reopen Thursday after a teacher strike that demanded improvements to classroom sizes, pay and health services -- while another district is planning to strike if similar asks aren't met, joining educators in Seattle.
The Kent Education Association, which represents close to 2,000 employees near Seattle, reached a tentative deal with the Kent School District on Wednesday that essentially ended talks that had been underway since July and had delayed the academic year.
Both parties have agreed to keep the details of the tentative agreement confidential until the contract is ratified, the school district said in a statement. The contract will head to the Kent School District Board of Directors for final approval, the district added.
About 110 miles to the southwest of Kent near Portland, Oregon, teachers in the Ridgefield School District are planning to initiate their strike Friday if a deal isn't reached with their union.
Members of the Ridgefield Education Association overwhelmingly voted to approve the strike if the district refuses to address issues that are also related to classroom sizes and wages.
The district has seen higher staff turnover due to dissatisfaction with pay, according to Elizabeth Stamp, the co-president of the union representing more than 200 certificated teachers and staff.
"We have made proposals that begin to address our crowded classes, give teachers the ability to provide more individualized instruction and ensure we don't fall further behind other districts in pay," Stamp said. "We need the district to partner with us, for our students and our community."
Seattle schools delayed
The planned strike in Ridgefield joins similar ongoing efforts in Seattle, where the start of the school year is expected to be delayed for a second day Thursday.
The Seattle Education Association began its strike Wednesday morning, which was slated to be the first day of school for about 50,000 students in the Seattle Public Schools district. The union that represents about 6,000 employees was still negotiating Wednesday, according to a statement posted on its website.
"Last night the bargaining team stayed at the table until midnight, and then returned to work early this morning, meeting with the district and the mediator at 10:30 AM," the union wrote in a statement dated Wednesday. "We continue to advocate for student supports, reasonable workloads, and respectful pay that allow us to return to our students with more of what they deserve."
In notifying parents that schools will be again closed Thursday, Seattle Public Schools said meals will be available for students at several locations.
"We continue to negotiate with Seattle Education Association, our educators' union. We do not yet have an agreement," the district wrote.
Educators in Seattle are asking for more support for students, including interpretation and translation services for those receiving multilingual education and improved special education staffing ratios.
The union also wants more support and controls to prevent educator burnout, including capping some class sizes and making sure each paraprofessional has a laptop. Finally, the union wants to increase wages, add incentive pay to attract substitutes and protect educators' ability to take personal days.
The Seattle teachers' union membership voted overwhelmingly in support of the strike, according to its president, Jennifer Matter.
"We had a really difficult decision to make, and believe me, that decision was not taken lightly on whether or not we would authorize a strike," Matter said. "Because no one wants to strike. It's not something that people just choose but SPS has given us no choice because, again, we can't go back to the way things have been we need to fight for something better."

Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public health emergency on Thursday in response to the thousands of migrants arriving in the nation's capital by bus from Arizona and Texas.
Bowser announced in a news conference a new government office tasked with the local response to arriving migrants that will also support new arrivals who are seeking asylum.
"We're putting in place a framework that would allow us to have a coordinated response with our partners," Bowser, a Democrat, said. "This will include a program to meet all buses, and given that most people will move on, our primary focus is to make sure we have a humane, efficient, welcome process that will allow people to move on to their final destination."
Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott started busing migrants to the nation's capital in April to protest the Biden administration's immigration policies. Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, another Republican, have so far sent hundreds of buses to DC, and neither have expressed any intention of stopping.
As of Thursday, the Texas governor's office had sent more than 7,900 migrants on over 190 buses to the District, more than 2,200 migrants on over 40 buses to New York City, and more than 300 migrants on over five buses to Chicago.
A state government spreadsheet obtained by CNN through a Freedom of Information Act request shows that, as of August 9, Texas has paid $12,707,720.92 to Wynne Transportation, the charter service that is taking migrants to New York and DC.
Arizona, which is only sending buses to DC, has sent 46 buses carrying 1,677 migrants.
The District's new Office of Migrant Services will be housed within the Department of Human Services, Bowser said Thursday, and will provide basic needs to arriving migrants, including meals, transportation, urgent medical care, and transportation to connect people to resettlement services.
DC will allocate $10 million to establish and support the new office, and the mayor said she will seek reimbursement for part of that funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The time-limited emergency declaration offers Bowser and her administration more power and flexibility, meaning officials will be able to mobilize people and resources faster and seek federal financial assistance, she said Thursday. Bowser added she will send emergency legislation to the DC Council to codify the new office.
The DC Mayor criticized Abbott and Ducey for their roles in creating the "growing humanitarian crisis," but also took aim at the federal response, which she said "has been lacking in some respects."
Last month, the Department of Defense denied for the second time Bowser's request to activate DC's National Guard.
The Pentagon, according to a copy of the rejection letter reviewed by CNN, said it "would not be appropriate" to use the DC National Guard and that the Defense Department "cannot fulfill your request."
Bowser reacted to the rejection in a statement on Twitter at the time, saying, "We are going to move forward with our planning to ensure that when people are coming through DC on their way to their final destination that we have a humane setting for them."
She echoed that message on Thursday, vowing that the District will "continue to work with partners to advance what we need and ensure our systems in DC are not broken by a crisis that is certainly not of our making."

Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public health emergency on Thursday in response to the thousands of migrants arriving in the nation's capital by bus from Arizona and Texas.
Bowser announced in a news conference a new government office tasked with the local response to arriving migrants that will also support new arrivals who are seeking asylum.
"We're putting in place a framework that would allow us to have a coordinated response with our partners," Bowser, a Democrat, said. "This will include a program to meet all buses, and given that most people will move on, our primary focus is to make sure we have a humane, efficient, welcome process that will allow people to move on to their final destination."
Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott started busing migrants to the nation's capital in April to protest the Biden administration's immigration policies. Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, another Republican, have so far sent hundreds of buses to DC, and neither have expressed any intention of stopping.
As of Thursday, the Texas governor's office had sent more than 7,900 migrants on over 190 buses to the District, more than 2,200 migrants on over 40 buses to New York City, and more than 300 migrants on over five buses to Chicago.

Look at this teaser, isn't it neat?
Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is coming back to theaters next year, with Halle Bailey bringing a live-action Ariel to the big screen for the first time, and the studio unveiled a sneak peek at the new film at its D23 Expo.
It's short but oh so sweet, with a seconds-long glimpse at Ariel in action, singing some impressive notes from "Part of Your World."
The film, directed by Rob Marshall, who has also helmed "Chicago" and "Mary Poppins Returns", is being billed as a reimagining of the 1989 Oscar-winning animated musical classic.
In addition to Bailey, a singer who has also appeared on Freeform's "grown-ish," the film features Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay ("Luca," "Room") as the voice of Flounder and Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle.
"Little Mermaid" is set to hit theaters on May 26, 2023.

Queen Elizabeth II, who has died age 96 after the longest reign in British history, will be mourned around the globe as one of the last monarchs born to a classic age of European royalty, when kings and queens wielded genuine political power.
Elizabeth's death comes seven months after she marked the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne, yet another milestone achievement in the remarkable life of a queen who, though reluctantly thrust into the spotlight at a young age, won almost universal praise for her steadfast dedication to duty.
Her long reign saw Britain transformed from a war-weary declining imperial power into a modern multi-cultural state that rarely looked to its monarch for leadership, but still held her in high esteem.
And while it witnessed its fair share of joy -- not least the 2011 marriage of the Queen's grandson Prince William to Catherine Middleton, and the birth of their three children -- Elizabeth's rule also weathered many storms, both public and personal, as the monarchy tried to keep pace with changing times.
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born in 1926, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York.
But she didn't become heir presumptive to the throne until 1937, when her father was crowned King George VI after the scandalous abdication of his older brother -- events dramatized in the Oscar-winning film "The King's Speech" and hit Netflix show "The Crown."
Wartime freedoms
As World War II erupted, Elizabeth was quietly groomed for statehood.
While living out the Blitz on London in nearby Windsor Castle, she was privately tutored in matters of constitution by Henry Marten, an eccentric yet respected teacher who reputedly kept a pet raven in his study.
She began taking tentative steps into public life in 1940 when, aged 14, she made her first radio broadcast: a speech to children displaced by the conflict. At 16, she was made an honorary colonel of the Grenadier Guards, a British army infantry regiment.
Wartime offered her certain freedoms beyond the traditional constraints of royal life.
In 1945 she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service and spent four weeks getting her hands covered in oil and grease as she learned to drive and maintain military vehicles.
When victory was declared in Europe, a uniformed Elizabeth mingled with jubilant crowds outside Buckingham Palace.
Peacetime brought the return of Lieutenant Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, a handsome young naval officer who had, by all accounts, won her heart when she was just 13. The pair married in Westminster Abbey in 1947. Their first son, Charles, was born just over a year later.
A youthful monarch
With her father's health in rapid decline, Elizabeth began accepting more official duties, taking his place at the annual "Trooping the Colour" military parade in 1949.
In 1952, while Elizabeth and Philip were on an official trip to Kenya, news came of her father's death.
She was now Queen.
The next decade saw the young monarch settle into her role. After her coronation in 1953, she embarked on numerous official trips, oversaw state openings of parliament, welcomed visiting leaders such as Dwight Eisenhower, Charles de Gaulle and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev, and toured a coal mine.
In 1964, the Queen became a mother for the fourth time as new son Edward joined Charles and fellow siblings Anne and Andrew. There was, however, barely any let-up in her busy schedule.
By the arrival of her third decade on the throne, she was in her element. Prince Charles was embarking on a military career, Princess Anne, an acclaimed horsewoman, was married -- drawing huge crowds of well-wishers.
While indulging in her own equestrian pursuits, she continued to throw herself into public life, clocking up dozens of overseas tours and official visits around the UK -- one of which, in 1976, saw her become one of the first people to send an email.
There were family problems when her sister's marriage collapsed, and constitutional issues as debate grew among Commonwealth countries about the role of the monarch, but these failed to dampen celebrations to mark the silver jubilee of her reign in 1977.
Another royal wedding followed in 1981 when Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer at London's St Paul's Cathedral. Millions of people around the world watched the ceremony on television, happily unaware it would usher in the most turbulent period yet of the Queen's life.
Divorce, fire and Diana's death
The Queen's 40th year on the throne, 1992, marked her lowest moment as three royal marriages fell apart. Princess Anne and Mark Philips divorced, Charles and Diana separated after claims of infidelities while Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew's wife, was photographed topless with an American financial manager.
To cap it all, a huge fire ripped through Windsor Castle, causing major structural damage. In the wake of the blaze, a furor broke out when it was suggested that public money be used to fund the restoration.
This year was not one "on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure," the Queen said in a speech later. "In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an annus horribilis."
These problems overshadowed the Queen as she made an historic visit to meet South African President Nelson Mandela in 1995, but criticism reached new heights in the wake of Diana's tragic death in 1997, when the royals were accused of being aloof and out of touch amid widespread public outpourings of grief.
This marked a turning point.
After days of silence, the Queen returned to London, talked to mourners and admitted there were lessons to be learned from Diana's life. The gestures struck a chord with the public and criticism ebbed away.
After Diana, the Queen's popularity rebounded as she presided over what appeared to be a softer, more accessible and thoroughly modern royal family.
This was evident in 2005 when, to public approval, she assented to the previously unthinkable marriage of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. It was capped eight years later when Britain's parliament ended the principle of men taking precedence over women in the line of succession to the throne.
She witnessed two of her grandsons, Princes William and Harry, graduate as military officers in 2006 and five years later oversaw the marriage of William and Catherine, the woman who -- as the wife of the now heir to the throne -- will one day succeed her as Britain's Queen. She also attended the wedding of Harry to Meghan Markle at St George's Chapel, Windsor in May 2018.
In 2012, the Queen's diamond jubilee was celebrated around the Commonwealth, culminating in a glittering river pageant on the Thames in London, and a concert showcasing some of the best music from her six decades on the throne.
Three years later, she surpassed Queen Victoria's 63-year-rule to become the longest-reigning British monarch and, in 2016, she marked her 90th birthday with a series of festivities and goodwill messages from around the world.
In February 2022, she marked the start of her platinum jubilee year, as she became the first British monarch to reign for 70 years.
Family upheaval
The Queen's final years were punctuated by challenges as well as celebrations, however.
As the novel coronavirus swept through Britain in 2020, she gave two televised addresses in quick succession, one calling for unity in the face of the pandemic and the other, still amid a national lockdown, to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
But while rallying the nation's spirits, the Queen was facing upheaval within her own family. Less than two years after their spectacular Windsor Castle wedding, Harry and Meghan announced that they were stepping back from their roles as senior royals and leaving Britain.
They subsequently set up home with son Archie in California and, in a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, accused "the firm" of leaving Meghan unprotected against racist abuse and unfair media coverage, as well as having neglected her mental health concerns. The couple -- whose daughter Lilibet, named in honor of the Queen, was born in June 2021 -- also made a damaging allegation of racism by an unnamed member of the royal family, although Winfrey later said they had clarified that this was neither the Queen nor Prince Philip.
Meanwhile, Prince Andrew, often referred to as the Queen's "favorite son," had been forced to step back from public duties after a disastrous 2019 interview with the BBC over his association with prominent sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. In January 2022, the Queen sought to distance the royal institution from a civil sex abuse lawsuit brought against Andrew in the United States by stripping him of his HRH status and royal patronages permanently. He subsequently settled the case out of court for an undisclosed figure and continues to reject the allegations against him.
In April 2021, the Queen suffered the loss of Prince Philip, her husband of 73 years and the longest-serving consort in British history. Pandemic restrictions meant she cut a lonely figure at his funeral, scaled back in terms of guests but still marked with military pomp.
Elizabeth returned to her royal duties within days, now a widow but still dedicated to a lifetime of service. She even continued with light duties after testing positive for Covid-19 in February 2022.
But as the year wore on, the monarch was forced to significantly slim down her diary due to mobility issues. On Tuesday, she met with outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his successor, Liz Truss, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, rather than traveling to Buckingham Palace to do so.
The nation had come together to mark her platinum jubilee in June 2022 -- a crowning achievement in a long and storied life.
By the time of her death in September, she had reigned for a little over 70 years -- a constant, if regally distant, presence in the lives of several generations of Britons.

Texas' top cop Col. Steven McCraw vowed Thursday to fire any member of his Department of Public Safety who did not do their job the day a gunman massacred 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary in Uvalde.
His pledge came after CNN tracked him down and confronted him with minutes of an internal meeting where he is recorded as telling highway patrol captains the opposite -- that "no one is losing their jobs" over the inept law enforcement response.
He told CNN Thursday that "no one gets a pass," reiterating a public promise from August 4 that there would be an internal review of the actions taken by all 91 DPS officers who responded to the school shooting.
But at the Texas Highway Patrol captains' meeting less than two weeks later on August 15 and 16, the minutes obtained by CNN document him saying: "And oh by the way, no one is losing their jobs. Quite the contrary, all leaders in Region 3 did what they were supposed to do and have stepped up to meet the moment."
While confirming much of the information attributed to him in the memorandum, McCraw said he was misquoted on the possibility of firings and his comments only referenced Victor Escalon, a DPS regional director.
"I reviewed his actions, and there's nothing he could've done otherwise than what he did," McCraw said. "I did a command decision, and Victor Escalon is not going to be fired, period."
Some action has been taken already this week. Two DPS officers who were on scene at Robb Elementary were suspended with pay and referred for formal investigation by the inspector general, and three more were also to be investigated, the department said.
It's not known what actions by the officers prompted the escalation; none has been identified publicly.
And McCraw repeated that he could not give out more information -- despite the clamor of bereaved families, residents and their representatives -- because the local district attorney had requested him not to. He has acknowledged that the criminal investigation could take years.
A coalition of news organizations including CNN is suing the DPS for records relating to the investigation that have been withheld from the media and public.
'We'll release everything'
In the exclusive interview McCraw said he would himself resign if his force was shown to have culpability for the botched response that left the shooter with dead and dying victims for 74 minutes while hundreds of officers from multiple forces arrived on scene and did not challenge him.
"First of all, there's no cover-up. And the bottom line is as soon as we can, we'll release everything," he said, speaking to CNN before a meeting in Brownsville.
"When we get the ability to come talk to you, I'll go line by line in terms of what trooper did what ... what DPS officer. We'll be entirely transparent," McCraw said. "The public will have it -- they'll have excruciating details in terms of what we did, when we did it and those gaps."
He pledged: "I'll be the first to resign, I'll gladly resign, I'll tender my resignation to the governor if I think there is any culpability in the Department of Public Safety. Period."
When asked if he would meet with the families who still have many questions, more than three months after the killings, McCraw said he would. But he added, "What I want is to have answers, right. I don't have answers until the inspector general's investigation is completed."
He continued: "We're not going to give anybody an opportunity to undermine the criminal investigation."
In response to the statement that "no one is losing their jobs," the families of several victims said in a joint response they were "disheartened and angry to hear" that McCraw believed his officers "stepped up to meet the moment." The families said the fact that there has only been action against five DPS officers is a "slap in the face."
The statement added the families have not met with the DPS to discuss the investigation, "primarily because the invitation has never been extended."
"We have been calling for transparency and accountability since day one and the DPS Chief's leaked statement does nothing to instill in us the trust that that will happen," the statement added.
Trust eviscerated across the board
McCraw has not given any extensive interviews since the May 24 atrocity, though he became a public face of the law enforcement response in the days after -- first at a table with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott when the efforts of officers were praised and then at a later news conference and Texas Senate testimony when he called the operation an "abject failure" and placed blame on school police chief Pedro "Pete" Arredondo.
Arredondo has since been fired by the school district. Arredondo has said he did not consider himself the incident commander at the school and a statement from his lawyer has called for him to be reinstated.
McCraw's comments put him in the middle of the vastly changing narrative that laid him and his department open to criticism by the Uvalde mayor, families and others across the nation.
He told CNN that, with the benefit of hindsight, he might have done things differently but said he felt that the record needed to be corrected.
"I did a press conference on that Friday because I felt it was important, because people are under the impression ... there was a brave, heroic law enforcement response [and it] was anything but that. It was an abject failure, plain and simple," he said.
There shouldn't have been any celebration that officers evacuated children, as that job could have been done by teachers, he said.
And he said that trust had been broken between his DPS officers and the local departments and agencies, whom they often assist in major incidents.
"The paradigm is gone," he said, referring to how officers were told it was a matter of a barricaded subject talking to negotiators and not an armed man with victims.
"We can't believe that until we're absolutely sure," he told CNN.
New procedures implemented
McCraw said his own officers were horrified when they realized what had happened in Uvalde on May 24.
"We're out there doing perimeter duty under the impression [it's a barricaded suspect] -- I can't tell you how sick they are to seeing all of a sudden children are being brought out that are dead," he said.
"That is an impact that these troops will have to live with the rest of their lives because they were there. And I guarantee you if they had known, they'd have been in there."
New procedures outlined to DPS by McCraw in a letter in July that was released publicly this week say officers should now "overcome any delay to neutralizing an attacker" at a school.
At the meeting with his captains in August, he said DPS should remain vigilant for mass attacks and asked them to share any ideas to improve top-down communication.
Earlier in the session, he discussed staffing issues and said DPS was requesting $466 million to start a "state of the art shoot house ... resembling a school." The total cost of the facility that would be used for training would be $1.4 billion, the minutes show.
While he has not spent time in Uvalde since the immediate aftermath, McCraw said he was affected too. "It was it was horrific, and anybody that's been in that building or been involved in this in any way, shape or form will never be the same again."
