Ted Lasso shoots and scores—again. At Monday night’s Emmy ceremony, the sunny Apple TV+ series picked up several statuettes, including the biggest prize: best comedy.
Lead actor Jason Sudekis, who won best actor in a comedy earlier in the night, led the speech, taking great care to thank the show’s unsung heroes, from the team handling COVID-19 procedures, to the post-production team.
“This show is about good and evil, the truth and lies,” Sudeikis said. “But it’s mostly about our response to those things.”
He closed his speech by poking fun at his Ted Lasso colleagues, who were surrounding him onstage and squealing excitedly about the win, and by thanking his children. “Otis, Daisy, I love you very much,” he said.
This was Sudeikis’s second trip to the stage. Earlier in the night, he picked up a statuette for best lead actor in a comedy, much to his own surprise. “I didn’t think I had a chance,” he said in his folksy speech. “So I’m not overly prepared, but,” he quipped, “I did take classes at the Second City.”
The actor thanked his parents, the show’s cast, and its fans. (As some viewers may note, Sudeikis did not address the drama currently surrounding his personal life, including his fractured relationship with ex-partner Olivia Wilde.) “Thank you for the people that watch this show and dig it as much as we dig making it,” he said, closing his folksy speech. “I’m truly truly surprised and flattered.”
Sudeikis plays the titular character in the series about a kindly American football coach who leaps across the pond to lead a British soccer team. The actor won the show’s second prize of the night, after costar Brett Goldstein won for best supporting actor in a comedy. “I’m really gonna try not to swear,” Goldstein said in his acceptance speech, shortly before dropping a sweet F-bomb anyway. The actor, who plays the stern Roy Kent in the series, then thanked those involved for “creating this magical thing and letting me be a little part of it.”
Later in the night, MJ Delaney won the best directing-comedy prize. “There are so many people that I should thank, but it’s really boring when the non-famous people do this,” she quipped as Sudeikis laughed in the crowd. Then, she quickly remembered two entities to thank: “Oh! Apple and Warner!” Delaney said, naming the show’s streamer and producer. “I remembered now that that’s important.”
Since its release, Ted Lasso has been a hit with the TV academy, pulling in 20 Emmy nominations this year, including best comedy. The show faces stiff competition in that category, including newcomers like Abbott Elementary and genre-pushing prestige hits like Barry. The show is also up against Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, What We Do in the Shadows, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Ted Lasso was a sleeper hit at last year’s ceremony, picking up seven Emmy statuettes. The TV Academy readily embraced the show’s bouncy tone and abundant themes of kindness, treating it as a balm amid the peak darkness of the pandemic. The show is led by Sudeikis, who turns in a cheery, mustachioed performance as the encouraging and occasionally daffy titular team leader. The show‘s second season was similarly well received, burnishing Ted Lasso’s rep as the nicest show on television.

Zendaya has officially made Emmys history—again. With her second win for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for Euphoria at the 2022 Emmys, the 26-year-old becomes the youngest two-time winner for acting in Emmys history, and the first Black woman to win the Emmy for lead actress in a drama series twice.
Wearing a Valentino gown and Bulgari jewels, she began her speech by thanking HBO “for making such a safe space for making this very difficult show” and creator Sam Levinson “for sharing Rue with me, adding, “Thank you for believing in me and even in moments when I didn’t believe in myself.”
Zendaya continued, “My greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me. I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are Rue, I want you to know that I’m so grateful for your stories and I carry them with me and I carry them with her.”

In 2020, Zendaya earned her first Emmy for playing the soulful, often struggling Rue in HBO’s Euphoria and was nominated this year for a record-breaking four awards as executive producer on the series and writing original lyrics for two songs featured in Euphoria, “I’m Tired” and “Elliot’s Song.” Zendaya’s major showcase for the second season was the heartstopping fifth episode, “Stand Still Like a Hummingbird,” in which the painful reality of Rue’s relapse comes into anxiety-inducing focus.
“Euphoria has been such a great learning ground for me,” Zendaya told Vanity Fair on 2022 Emmy nominations morning, crediting creator Sam Levinson and cinematographer Marcell Rév for inspiring her to one day direct. “I feel like I can [direct] more and more every day as I stand next to them, and they let me slowly take on more and more responsibilities and let me put in my two cents. Sometimes a lot more than two cents; sometimes more like $50. But they let me be creative and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do more of it.”
She defended her title against fellow nominees including predicted winner Melanie Lynskey for Yellowjackets, Laura Linney for Ozark, Sandra Oh for Killing Eve, Reese Witherspoon for The Morning Show, and former category winner Jodie Comer for Killing Eve.
Throughout the evening, Zendaya couldn’t help but steal focus. Host Kenan Thompson quipped of the star in his show opening: “Zendaya just turned 26. Twenty-six is a weird age in Hollywood. Young enough to play a high school student, but too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio.” When Hacks co-stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder took the stage to present an award, Einbinder shyly whispered something in Smart’s ear. “From the stage, she gets a better view of Zendaya,” Smart said to explain her co-star’s shyness.
Euphoria expanded on its Emmys footprint for its highly-watched second season, earning 16 nominations, including outstanding drama series, which ultimately went to Succession for the second time. (The show’s first season scored wins for three of its six nominations, including a victory for Zendaya.) Star Sydney Sweeney, celebrating her 25th birthday on Emmy night, lost supporting actress in a drama series to now three-time winner Julia Garner for Ozark.
At the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Euphoria earned five trophies—Colman Domingo for guest actor in a drama series, cinematography for a single-camera series, choreography for scripted programming, contemporary makeup (non-prosthetic), and single-camera picture editing for a drama series.
Production has yet to begin on Euphoria’s hotly-anticipated third season, but Domingo has teased “some really big swings” for the show’s next installment, now armed with renewed awards recognition.

See the Best-Dressed Celebrities at the 2022 Emmys
While the 2022 Emmys celebrate the best in American television, an ineffaceable red-carpet moment earns stars a different type of honor: a highly coveted spot on Vanity Fair’s best-dressed list.
On Monday, TV’s biggest stars gathered at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate must-see shows including Abbott Elementary, Atlanta, Barry, Dopesick, Euphoria, Succession, The Great, The White Lotus, Ozark, Severance, and more. While the evening usually results in adding a few new finds to your watch list, this year’s red carpet and ceremony delivered more than great recommendations; it inspired viewers, giving audiences far more to talk about than the nominated programming.
Whether it was a curve-skimming silhouette in an eye-popping palette or an example of expert tailoring accentuated by sparkling accessories, it’s clear that guests at the 2022 Emmys came to make fashion history. And with designers and stylists working together with hair, makeup, and nail artists to create these once-in-a-lifetime looks, it’s truly a team effort to be named best-dressed.

White Suits Were the Standout Emmys 2022 Menswear Trend
Labor Day might have been last week, but that didn’t stop an array of the Emmys 2022 nominees and guests from breaking out an all-white suit for the ceremony. Though it isn’t necessarily the most groundbreaking choice, it really did help avoid the clash with the gold carpet and cerulean step-and-repeat that seemed to throw off some of the more colorful looks. But when it came to the details, the men really figured out how to elevate their game. John Legend looked put together and glitzy in a silk Gucci number with a subtle-yet-eye-catching interlocking G pattern, Seth Rogen opted for a slouchy cummerbund that gave his look a stoner-meets-Downton Abbey flair. Andrew Garfield, nominated for his performance in Under the Banner of Heaven, looked more Miami Vice than Utah in his sleek white suit. Nicholas Braun stealthily wore an avant-garde Christian Dior double-breasted suit with a single-button closure, proving once and again that he is far more stylish than Cousin Greg, the beloved character he plays on Succession. | https://www.vanityfair.com/style/photos/2022/09/white-suits-emmys-2022-menswear-trend | 2022-09-13T03:15:27Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/style/photos/2022/09/white-suits-emmys-2022-menswear-trend | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The fast-moving Mosquito Fire caused authorities to order evacuations in at least two Northern California counties.
The fire had grown to nearly 50,000 acres by Monday afternoon, KCRA reported. Around 6,000 structures were threatened.
The wildfire started on the night of Sept. 6 near Mosquito Ridge Road on the north side of the Oxbow Reservoir in California's north around the towns of Foresthill and Auburn.
As of Monday morning, the fire was 10% contained and has burned 72 square miles. Evacuations were ordered in two California counties in response to the fire.
The state's agency Cal Fire said Monday morning, “There was no significant growth on the southeast corner of the fire on Sunday, which gave crews more time to construct control lines.”
Aerials of the blaze showed smoke filling the air for what appeared to be miles.
Nolan Hale, a Cal Fire operations section chief said extreme smoky conditions had hampered emergency services from being above to use vital air resources to help contain the fast-spreading fire. | https://www.katc.com/news/national/fast-moving-wildfire-in-northern-california-triggers-evacuations | 2022-09-13T03:27:06Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/national/fast-moving-wildfire-in-northern-california-triggers-evacuations | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The upcoming shopping season is expected to be slower this year than previous seasons as persistent inflation hits shopper budgets.
Consumers in the U.S. are up against inflation levels not seen in decades which has caused a slowing of discretionary spending on non-essentials.
According to a report from Mastercard's Spending Pulse, this holiday season could see fewer long lines and empty shelves as shoppers continue to be wary of the economy and focus on saving.
In the Monday report, Mastercard says, "As inflation impacts consumer wallets, bargain hunting is expected to be in full force this holiday season."
Michelle Meyer, U.S. Chief Economist, Mastercard Economics Institute, said, “This holiday season, consumers may find themselves looking for ways to navigate the inflationary environment – from searching for deals to making trade-offs that allow for extra room in their gift-giving budgets.”
But there could be good news ahead as well.
Meyer said, “New job creation, rising wages, and lingering savings should have many consumers ready and able to spend.”
Experts say this holiday season, shoppers might see far more promotions than in previous years to entice customers even more than before. | https://www.katc.com/news/national/us-holiday-shopping-season-to-likely-see-slowdown-amid-inflation-stress | 2022-09-13T03:27:24Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/national/us-holiday-shopping-season-to-likely-see-slowdown-amid-inflation-stress | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Library and History Museum Host Author Dr. Virginia Summey September 20
GREENSBORO, NC (September 12, 2022) – The Greensboro Public Library and Greensboro History Museum will host author Dr. Virginia Summey for a book discussion at 3 pm, Tuesday, September 20 at the McGirt-Horton Branch, 2501 Phillips Ave. The author will discuss her book, The Life of Elreta Melton Alexander: Activism Within the Courts.
Elreta Melton Alexander was the first African American woman to graduate from Columbia Law School and, in 1947, the first African American woman to practice law in North Carolina. She was later elected as a district court judge in 1968. Dr. Summey argues in this book that, while Judge Alexander was not participating in Civil Rights marches or other demonstrations, she used her professional achievements to advocate on behalf of the marginalized members of her community, and in this way was instrumental in the fight for civil rights in the United States.
Summey is a historian of the U.S. South and Faculty Fellow in Lloyd International Honors College at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her research and areas of expertise include North Carolina history, political and legal history, African American history, and Women's history.

The award-winning five-piece acoustic roots band from Dublin, I Draw Slow, will perform live at Reeves Theater, Friday, September 16 at 8 pm.
I Draw Slow has been consistently honing its craft for more than a decade becoming one of the best-known bands in Ireland, selling out venues throughout the country. Several years after debuting in Nashville, the band has risen to a dominant position in the American Folk music scene. Come see this critically acclaimed group of musicians when they bring their U.S. tour to the Reeves Theater Fri., Sept.16 at 8:00 PM

Listen to latest single “Bring Out Your Dead” here
More on I Draw Slow below..
Like most artists during the pandemic, the group was forced to put their tour career on hold in the spring of 2020. Independently they suffered the loss of loved ones to COVID and weathered the subsequent months of grief. When the band was finally able to reunite in 2021 in a farmyard studio in the Dublin mountains to record their new album they found themselves and their music fundamentally changed. The traditional Irish and Appalachian influences that informed I Draw Slow’s prior releases were augmented by a much wider range of influences, including sixties pop, cinematic soundscapes and the funereal jazz of New Orleans.
Lyrically, the new tracks pulled storytelling and tradition apart. “The new music represents tradition in the mixed up way that people live now,” Louise Holden shares, “With the stories we tell to stop ourselves from going crazy and the false memories we build ourselves upon.”
Ultimately, the trauma of the pandemic is what defines the band's eponymously titled new album. Together with bandmates, Konrad Liddy (upright bass), Colin Derham (banjo), and Adrian Hart (fiddle), Louise and Dave Holden explore a broader, and darker, musical palette on the new tracks, yielding unexpected and musically satisfying results. I DRAW SLOW captures a pivotal moment in a shared human tragedy and offers a stunning portrait of the beauty that I Draw Slow salvaged from their collective pain.

Henry Mancini’s Malibu Beach Retreat!
One of the greatest composers in the history of film, Italian-born Henry Mancini won four Academy Awards and twenty Grammy Awards. Famous for his unforgettable “Moon River” and “Pink Panther Theme,” he scored hundreds of movies and TV shows and recorded over 90 albums ranging from big band to classical to pop. During World War II, he served as a member of the Air Force Band before being reassigned to the 1306th Engineers’ Brigade, where he helped to liberate the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp in Austria. After returning from the war, he joined the Glen Miller Orchestra and then the music department of Universal-International, before striking out on his own. His “Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet” spent two weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969 and three of his songs were chosen for the American Film Institute’s 100 greatest film scores. The prolific composer died in 1994.
In 1972, Mancini purchased a classic mid-century beach house on Malibu’s La Costa Beach for $147,500, where he held “extraordinary parties with talented friends and musicians,” according to his daughters, Monica and Felice Mancini. Held by the family for 50 years, the property has been listed for sale at $11.6 million. Perfectly situated, the home sits on a sandy stretch of beach, far from public access, offering gorgeous ocean views from Point Dume to the Queen’s Necklace. The two-story, wood-sided house has four bedrooms and three baths and covers 2,212 square feet. The home features big windows that bathe the space in natural light and crisp geometric lines.
The home’s beachfront living room sports a marble fireplace and sliding glass doors that open onto a spacious deck and private beach access. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own terrace plus vaulted-wood-beamed ceilings and an en-suite bathroom with a marble shower, soaking tub, and a bidet. A second top-floor bedroom also offers ocean views and a deck. The serene dining room connects to a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, Viking dual ovens, and a breakfast bar.
On the Pacific Coast Highway side, the home includes a two-car garage plus driveway space for two more cars. Lush landscaping adorns the spacious entry courtyard, where a firepit and seating area offer additional options for relaxation and entertainment. The home is only a quarter mile from the famous beachfront Duke’s Restaurant plus a short drive from Iron Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's Nobo Malibu and the shops and restaurants at the Malibu Country Mart.
Malibu, located along the coast just north of Los Angeles, is a coastal city known for laidback vibes, fantastic surf beaches, and oceanfront luxury homes. Offering an escape from the city while still close enough to commute, it is one of the most popular home locations for Hollywood celebrities who make it big.

The Justice Department is on board with one of Donald Trump’s picks to independently review documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago last month, according to a new legal filing submitted by the agency.
DOJ lawyers, in the Monday night filing, said along with the two ex-judges the feds recommended, they’d also be open to the appointment of Raymond Dearie, the former chief judge of the federal court in the Eastern District of New York.
The special master appointment would sift through records recovered from the former president’s Florida estate on Aug. 8. The feds and Trump’s lawyers have disagreed over the exact role of the independent third-party and which documents they should review.
Dearie, who is on senior active status, has signaled he “could perform the work expeditiously” if appointed by US District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Justice Department said.
The DOJ’s picks to review the trove of docs were retired Manhattan judge Barbara Jones or retired federal appeals court judge in DC Thomas Griffith, who was appointed by ex-President George W. Bush.
“Judges Jones, Griffith and Dearie each have substantial judicial experience, during which they have presided over federal criminal and civil cases, including federal cases involving national security and privilege concerns,” the feds wrote in their legal filing.
The federal government rejected Trump’s other pick, Florida lawyer Paul Huck Jr. “who does not appear to have similar experience,” according to the filing.
Trump shot down both Jones and Griffith as the special master, but didn’t publicly say why.
Trump’s team also slammed the DOJ’s probe into whether Trump illegally kept classified documents, in an earlier Monday filing.
“This investigation of the 45th President of the United States is both unprecedented and misguided,” they wrote. “In what at its core is a document storage dispute that has spiraled out of control, the Government wrongfully seeks to criminalize the possession by the 45th President of his own Presidential and personal records.”
Judge Cannon signed off on Trump’s request for a special master and stopped, at least temporarily, the feds from going through documents as part of their probe.
The DOJ previously asked the judge to reverse that ruling, arguing keeping it intact could harm the investigation.
The Justice Department argued Trump was not supposed to keep presidential documents, while Trump’s legal team says in their filing the former commander-in-chief had wide ranging power to hold onto the records.

The Nets have a host of injury questions coming into camp, but Joe Harris isn’t one.
A disconcertingly high percentage of the roster is coming off surgery, and Harris actually had not one but two procedures performed on his ankle. But the sweet-shooting forward’s agent told The Post he is not only expected to be ready for the start of training camp this month, but is already “100 percent.”
“He’s doing great. He’s great,” Priority Sports founder Mark Bartelstein told The Post. “He’s 100 percent. He’s in a great place.”
When asked to elaborate on that place, whether Harris has already been cleared to go five-on-five, Bartelstein confirmed he had.
“Yes. He’s all good. He’s all good,” Bartelstein said. “He’s healthy. He’s in great place. He’s ready to go for sure.”
Any kind of health certainty would be welcome news for the Nets, whose practice facility fittingly has Hospital for Special Surgery as a sponsor. Harris, Seth Curry, Ben Simmons, T.J. Warren and Edmond Sumner are all coming off procedures — the latter trio not having played a second last season.
Harris was sidelined after injuring his left ankle on Nov. 14 in Oklahoma City. He had surgery on Nov. 29, and had initially been expected back in four to eight weeks. But, like the rest of the Nets’ disastrous campaign, his recovery didn’t go as planned.
The Post had reported on Feb. 3 that Harris could require a second surgery, and that’s exactly what happened. A month later, general manager Sean Marks announced that an additional arthroscopic surgery was being scheduled, one that ultimately cut Harris’ campaign short after just 14 games.
Harris’ floor spacing was missed, the Nets’ effective field-goal percentage of .563 in the 423 minutes he played dipping to .537 with him off the court. They also missed his 6-foot-6, 220-pound size on the wing, the Nets eventually getting swept out of the playoffs in the first round by the eventual NBA finalists, the Boston Celtics.
The longest-tenured Net, Harris led the NBA in 3-point shooting in 2019 at 47.4 percent, again two years later at 47.5, and his 46.6 would’ve won yet another crown last season if he’d had enough appearances to qualify.
Harris’ career 43.90 percent shooting from deep is fourth-best in league history, and second only to teammate Seth Curry’s 43.95 among active players. But they’ve never actually taken the floor together, with Curry having arrived midseason. With Curry having recovered from his own ankle surgery, the Nets expect to be able to put that 1-2 punch on the court around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
While the Lakers had interest in acquiring Harris as part of a trade for Irving, the Post had reported that the Nets were always intent on keeping the former. The only holdover from Marks’ first full season in 2016-17, the GM holds Harris and his input in high regard.
“I know he’s someone they value at the highest level,” Bartelstein said. “There’s no question about that.” | https://nypost.com/2022/09/12/nets-joe-harris-expected-to-be-100-percent-for-training-camp/ | 2022-09-13T03:35:19Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/12/nets-joe-harris-expected-to-be-100-percent-for-training-camp/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Tappable home equity rises to a new record high
Home equity increased in the second quarter, reaching yet another new high as home prices continue to rise, according to a new report from Black Knight.
Tappable homeowner equity, or the amount available for homeowners to access from their home while retaining at least 20% equity in their homes, hit an all-time high for the 10th consecutive month, according to Black Knight’s report. It increased to $11.5 trillion, up 5% or $500 billion from the first quarter and $2.3 trillion or 25% from the same time last year.
"Equity growth slowed, however, as home price appreciation began to moderate, with some of the hottest markets even posting equity declines amid rising interest rates and affordability concerns," Black Knight said in its report.
If you are interested in tapping into the equity in your home, consider a cash-out refinance. Visit Credible to find your personalized interest rate without affecting your credit score.
HOME PRICE GROWTH IN MAY REMAINS STRONG BUT DECELERATED FROM ‘VERY HIGH LEVELS’: CASE-SHILLER
Homeowners have the most equity in these areas
Although equity increased overall in the second quarter, 11 of the nation’s top 50 most equity-rich markets decreased in equity.
All of these markets are in the Western U.S. including eight metropolitan areas in California alone. Although these markets saw a decrease, California leads the U.S. in tappable equity with $3.5 trillion in equity or 30.5% of all tappable equity. California saw a decrease of $155 billion or 4.2% in the second quarter.
Four out of five of the most equity-rich markets were on the West Coast including San Jose, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles which all saw a decrease in the second quarter.
If your home has a high level of equity and you are interested in pulling it out, consider a cash-out refinance to pay down debt or fund home improvements. Visit Credible to compare multiple mortgage lenders at once and choose the one with the best interest rate for you.
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS THINK HOME RENOVATIONS TAKE LONGER THAN PLANNED: SURVEY
This is how much equity the average homeowner holds
As the overall level of equity continues to grow, homeowners are seeing higher levels of tappable equity in their home, according to Black Knight.
The average homeowner held $216,900 in tappable equity in the second quarter. This is up 5% or $9,700 from the fourth quarter. From last year, this is up a full 25% or $43,400 from the second quarter of 2021.
Although homeowners are seeing record levels of home equity, 73% of this equity is held by borrowers who have a current mortgage rate below 4%. This could make borrowers more reluctant to refinance. However, many could turn to a second lien product such as a home equity line of credit (HELOC).

Bears turn attention to Packers after Week 1 win over 49ers
LAKE FOREST, Ill. - The Chicago Bears pulled off a surprise in coach Matt Eberflus’ head coaching debut when they beat San Francisco in a driving rainstorm at Soldier Field on Sunday. They’ll try to do it again when they visit Green Bay this week.
Just don’t tell star linebacker Roquan Smith that beating the 49ers was a surprise. Or that knocking off Aaron Rodgers and the Packers would be, too.
"We didn’t see it as an upset," Smith said Monday. "We expected to go in there and win. You know, maybe you guys, the other media and everyone else said, hey, this and that. But we didn’t care too much about that. We knew we could beat those guys."
Chicago did just that against the 49ers, rallying from 10 down to win 19-10 in a driving rainstorm.
It was a neat start for a new regime. The Bears opted to make major changes after last season, when they went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the ninth time in 11 years. They hired general manager Ryan Poles and Eberflus to replace the fired Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy, and the new regime went to work restructuring the roster.
Now, after beating a team with Super Bowl aspirations, they get their rivals. The Packers opened with a 23-7 loss at Minnesota, but they’ve owned the Bears in recent decades.
WHAT’S WORKING
Chicago played relatively clean ball when it came to penalties and turnovers. The Bears were flagged just three times for 24 yards. Their lone turnover was an interception by Fields in the first quarter. Only the New York Giants (30) had more turnovers than Chicago (29) last season.
WHAT NEEDS HELP
There’s plenty that needed help, though the conditions didn’t exactly make it easier.
The offense was as messy as the conditions in the first half. That changed with an ad-libbing Fields’ 51-yard touchdown pass to Dante Pettis with Chicago trailing 10-0 in the third quarter. Fields spun away as two defenders closed in on him, and rolled to his left. As he did, Pettis broke toward the opposite side.
Fields found him wide open. Pettis took it the rest of the way.
STOCK UP
Interceptions used to be a regular thing for Eddie Jackson. Maybe they will again.
After Fields connected with Equanimeous St. Brown for an 18-yard TD early in the fourth to put Chicago on top 13-10, Jackson picked off Trey Lance near midfield for his first interception since 2019. He returned the ball to the 21, leading to a touchdown run by Khalil Herbert that bumped the lead to 19-10.
STOCK DOWN
Kicker Cairo Santos had a difficult game. Not only did he miss extra points following Chicago’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns, he was involved in an unusual penalty involving a the use of a towel near the end of the first half that pushed the Bears out of field goal range with San Francisco leading 7-0.
Rookie holder Trenton Gill got flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when he used a towel to pat down the area where the kick would be attempted. Santos also stepped on the towel and used it to dry a different spot before Gill cast it aside.
Last season, Santos made all but one of his 28 extra-point attempts. He was 26 of 30 on field goals, though he did not attempt one Sunday.
INJURIES
The Bears reported no injuries during the game, a plus for a team that was hit hard during the preseason. One question is how long Lucas Patrick will continue to split reps at right guard with Teven Jenkins before moving back to center. Patrick, who was injured early in camp, had a cast on his right arm. Sam Mustipher started at center.
KEY NUMBER
2 — The Bears had two takeaways and both were big. While Jackson set up a touchdown late in the game, Jaylon Johnson helped prevent San Francisco from scoring on its first drive. The 49ers were moving toward their end zone when Johnson knocked the ball from Deebo Samuel at the 12 on a 4-yard run and rookie Jaquan Brisker recovered. The Bears ranked among the worst in the NFL last season in turnover differential.
NEXT STEPS
The Packers are 23-5 against Chicago in games Rodgers has started, including one last season at Soldier Field, where he yelled "I still own you!" to the crowd. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/bears-turn-attention-to-packers-after-week-1-win-over-49ers | 2022-09-13T03:38:26Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/bears-turn-attention-to-packers-after-week-1-win-over-49ers | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Cubs hound Bassitt, beat NL East-leading Mets 5-2
NEW YORK - Chris Bassitt had his shortest start in three months, failing to get through the fourth inning as the NL East-leading New York Mets lost to the Chicago Cubs 5-2 Monday night.
New York began the day with a 1 1/2-game edge over Atlanta, which played later in San Francisco.
The Mets had won each of Bassitt’s last eight starts, a span in which he had a 2.24 ERA. But the right-hander gave up five runs in 3 2/3 innings — his quickest exit since he lasted a season-low 3 1/3 innings against San Diego on July 8.
Rafael Ortega homered in the second — the first home run allowed by Bassitt (13-8) since he gave up Manny Machado’s round-tripper July 23, a stretch of 54 1/3 innings. Zach McKinstry hit a two-run shot in the third before Ortega and Alfonso Rivas each had an RBI single in the fourth.
The Mets stranded 10 runners — including seven over the first six innings against rookie right-hander Javier Assad (1-1), who allowed five hits in earning the first victory of his career.
Mark Canha struck out with the bases loaded in the first. James McCann delivered a two-out RBI single in the fourth, when Brandon Nimmo whiffed to leave two on. Eduardo Escobar tripled with two outs in the sixth but was left there when Assad struck out Tyler Naquin.
The Mets loaded the bases with none out but didn’t score in the eighth. Manuel Rodriguez struck out Canha before giving way to Brandon Hughes, who retired Escobar and Darin Ruf on flyouts.
Hughes gave up a two-out homer to Francisco Lindor in the ninth before retiring Jeff McNeil on a groundout for his fifth save.
Escobar, who also singled in the fourth, extended his hitting streak to 10 games. He’s batting .500 (18 for 36) during the run.
MAYGYVER
Mets right-handed reliever Trevor May was activated from the injured list after missing 10 days with COVID-19. May, wearing a mask in the locker room Monday afternoon, said he stayed loose by throwing baseballs against his couch — set on its side and covered in blankets — in his apartment.
"That works really, really well, so I highly recommend it if you ever had to do that," May said. "You don’t need a net, you can just MacGyver. I was able to throw as hard as I could. I would have had to throw 160 (mph) to get through the couch."
The IL stint was the second of the season for May, who missed three months with a triceps injury. He had a 3.86 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 9 1/3 innings over 10 appearances in between stays on the IL.
"Timing-wise, really, really frustrating," May said of his COVID-19 battle. "Not been a lot of things falling my way this year, in general."
MOMENT OF SILENCE
Before the first pitch, moments of silence were held for former big league pitcher Anthony Varvaro as well as the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Varvaro, a New York City native and St. John’s graduate who pitched for three teams from 2010-15 before retiring to become a Port Authority police officer, was killed in a car crash Sunday morning on his way to the 9/11 remembrance in Manhattan.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: SS Nico Hoerner (triceps) didn’t play after exiting Sunday’s game in the sixth inning. Manager David Ross said Hoerner was a little sore but planned to take swings in the batting cage before the game. … Willson Contreras (left ankle) is eligible to come off the injured list Tuesday, but Ross said the All-Star catcher will likely return after Thursday’s off day.
Mets: In addition to activating May, the Mets activated INF Luis Guillorme (left groin), who missed the previous 26 games. To make room on the roster, New York placed RHP Bryce Montes de Oca (left hamstring) on the injured list and designated for assignment INF Devan Marrero.
UP NEXT
Cubs: RHP Adrian Sampson (1-5, 3.76 ERA) has one win in 14 starts this season despite allowing two runs or fewer nine times, including in each of his last three outings.
Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (5-1, 1.66 ERA) has retired at least 12 consecutive batters in each of his last six starts, the longest such streak in the last 40 years. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/cubs-hound-bassitt-beat-nl-east-leading-mets-5-2 | 2022-09-13T03:38:32Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/cubs-hound-bassitt-beat-nl-east-leading-mets-5-2 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

WASHINGTON — Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock was fatally shot Monday afternoon while eating at the Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles restaurant in South Los Angeles, according to multiple media reports.
The Los Angeles Times said Rock, 30, whose real name is Rakim Allen, was at the restaurant with his girlfriend and was fatally shot during a robbery. The outlet said Rock had been targeted for his jewelry.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed there had been a shooting at that location and the victim died. The LAPD however has yet to officially identify the victim.
The LAPD told reporters the victim was sitting at a table with a "female witness" when a suspect approached, took out a gun and demanded his "property." Police say the suspect then fired "multiple rounds" and appeared to remove some property from the victim.
The victim was pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m. local time, police said.
Rock's girlfriend had reportedly posted a photo on social media of the couple's lunch shortly before the fatal shooting at the famous restaurant.
TMZ reported the "Selfish" rapper was pronounced dead at a Los Angeles area hospital. Rock had collaborated with some of music's biggest names including Chance the Rapper, 2 Chainz, Ed Sheeran and Wiz Khalifa. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/reports-rapper-pnb-rock-fatally-shot-los-angeles-roscoes-chicken-waffles/507-bddd930c-a51b-4dab-9a56-dfb26c9c49ec | 2022-09-13T03:44:30Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/reports-rapper-pnb-rock-fatally-shot-los-angeles-roscoes-chicken-waffles/507-bddd930c-a51b-4dab-9a56-dfb26c9c49ec | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — FAMU has ordered 900 Pfizer and 800 Moderna boosters so far to distribute to the community to help reduce future infections.
"I've been getting phone calls and text messages for a couple weeks now."
Tanya Tatum is the Director of Student Health Services at Florida A&M University. She says she's seen an increase in people wanting access to the updated COVID-19 booster across the community.
They asked…so FAMU delivered.
"We have both the Pfizer and Moderna bivalent boosters for COVID-19 available," said Tatum.
So, what makes the latest Pfizer and Moderna boosters different? Short answer: the Omicron variant.
"Which has been a much stronger variant, causing more serious infections in patients, so that's why this has developed as soon as the Omicron variant came about because the virus it does mutate, it does change."
Amy Lynn Safaty is the Pharmacy Manager of CVS Health. She says the new boosters target two different strains of COVID-19 all in one vaccine. That means it can offer protection against both the original COVID-19 virus and the Omicron strain…which is why it's called a bivalent booster. Moderna is approved for ages 18 and up, while Pfizer is 12 years and older. The booster can help lower the risk for severe infection and reduce hospitalization.
"Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are allowed to be interchanged so if somebody started out with Pfizer, they can get a Moderna booster," added Safaty.
She told ABC 27 one vaccine is not better than the other. She recommends patients get whichever booster is available to them sooner rather than delay protection.
The CDC recommends everyone 12 and older get the updated booster, as long as they've already had their primary series of shots. You should wait at least two months since your last vaccine dose. Advice Tatum hopes more people will follow...
"We're hoping that this new booster will do that so that people don't actually get infected."
FAMU also plans to offer infant and toddler vaccinations by October.
The new Moderna and Pfizer boosters are being distributed at the FAMU vaccination and testing site.
The site is located at 2507 Wahnish Way in Tallahassee and it's open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 4:30 PM. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/local-news/florida-a-m-is-offering-latest-covid-19-boosters-to-the-community-a-look-at-what-you-need-to-know | 2022-09-13T03:52:59Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/local-news/florida-a-m-is-offering-latest-covid-19-boosters-to-the-community-a-look-at-what-you-need-to-know | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Honoring the late Jimbo Jackson...
a community leader and longtime educator who touched so many lives.
That's what the Leon County Commission is planning to do right now.
The Commission wants to rename the Fort Braden Community Center after Jackson,
who served as a Leon County Commissioner for District 2 from 2016 until his passing in May of 2022.
Jackson was also an educator for 30 years at the Fort Braden School.
Commissioner Bill Proctor says the renaming is coming with full support from Jackson's family and says this will ensure his legacy can live on.
"Jimbo Jackson carries a lot of weight in District 2; sentimentally, affectionately, with all major respect. To place his name there, to keep his name alive, it gives boys and girls in the future someone very tall to grow up and be like."
The Leon County Commission will vote on the proposed renaming of the Fort Braden Community Center on Tuesday. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/local-news/leon-county-commission-looks-to-rename-fort-braden-community-center-after-late-jimbo-jackson | 2022-09-13T03:53:05Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/local-news/leon-county-commission-looks-to-rename-fort-braden-community-center-after-late-jimbo-jackson | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The upcoming shopping season is expected to be slower this year than previous seasons as persistent inflation hits shopper budgets.
Consumers in the U.S. are up against inflation levels not seen in decades which has caused a slowing of discretionary spending on non-essentials.
According to a report from Mastercard's Spending Pulse, this holiday season could see fewer long lines and empty shelves as shoppers continue to be wary of the economy and focus on saving.
In the Monday report, Mastercard says, "As inflation impacts consumer wallets, bargain hunting is expected to be in full force this holiday season."
Michelle Meyer, U.S. Chief Economist, Mastercard Economics Institute, said, “This holiday season, consumers may find themselves looking for ways to navigate the inflationary environment – from searching for deals to making trade-offs that allow for extra room in their gift-giving budgets.”
But there could be good news ahead as well.
Meyer said, “New job creation, rising wages, and lingering savings should have many consumers ready and able to spend.”
Experts say this holiday season, shoppers might see far more promotions than in previous years to entice customers even more than before. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/us-holiday-shopping-season-to-likely-see-slowdown-amid-inflation-stress | 2022-09-13T03:53:23Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/us-holiday-shopping-season-to-likely-see-slowdown-amid-inflation-stress | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
BEIJING, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A large number of high-tech enterprises showed their digital technologies and products at the just-concluded 2022 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), which heralds opportunities for innovative development of digital services trade.
The metaverse experience hall of CIFTIS attracted a lot of visitors as it had created a deep immersive travel experience for the audience with XR virtual shooting technology, glasses-free 3D technology, and holographic interactive space among others.
Many exhibitors of the metaverse experience hall believe that CIFTIS has set up a bridge for metaverse to enter the consumer-level services trade market.
At the telecommunications, computer and information services exhibition area of the Shougang Park venue of the 2022 CIFTIS, robots of different shapes can be seen at the booths of almost all the exhibitors, working as publicity ambassadors for the exhibitors by displaying their different skills.
Multiple practical products featuring artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, 5G, blockchain and other advanced technologies were also displayed at the event.
According to Feng Ming, a doctor of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), PUMCH displayed the portable intelligent neuronavigation robot jointly developed with Tencent AI Lab and the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at this year's CIFTIS.
The navigation platform of this robot integrates the surgical technology and experience of PUMCH's neurosurgery team, and combined with preoperative imaging, it can assist doctors to locate intraoperative lesions and perform puncture surgery with the robotic arm, further reducing the difficulty and improving the accuracy of the surgery.
Digital yuan also outshone at the event, and many banking, insurance and fintech companies displayed their e-CNY products at the exhibition area of financial services.
The Bank of China launched the digital RMB hard wallet, and according to the introduction of a staff at the booth of the bank, the hard wallet can help the elderly, children and other groups who are not good at mobile phone payment complete the consumption payment without carrying cash.
Exhibitors said that CIFTIS has helped shorten the distance between financial institutions, people and digital RMB, and through the interactive activities in the exhibition, the audience can more intuitively experience the security, convenience and efficiency of the digital RMB, which is helpful for the application of "digital RMB plus".

LIHUE, Hawaii (KITV4) -- Two men were arrested on Kauai accused of online child sex crimes, during Operation Keiki Shield, a sting operation aimed at protecting children from sexual predators on the internet.
Nicholas Wehrly, 34, of Eleele, and Eric Nakamoto, 29, of Hanamaulu, were arrested and charged over the weekend on complaints of first-degree electronic enticement of a child. Their bail was set at $20,000 each.
“The Hawai‘i Department of the Attorney General thanks the Kauai Police Department and the other law enforcement agencies taking part in Operation Keiki Shield for their leadership in keeping Kauai’s children safe from these online predators,” said First Deputy Attorney General Valerie Kato.
According to KPD, Operation Keiki Shield is an ongoing operation that looks to find, identify, and arrest online child predators. The operation also seeks to identify and rescue victims of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Multiple agencies both local and federal participated in the operation.
“Our Internet Crimes Against Children Unit will continue to work in concert with Hawai‘i’s police departments and prosecutors to hold these criminals to account for their illicit actions,” Kato said.
Since the first iteration of Operation Keiki Shield on Kauai in November 2019, five suspects have been arrested on Kauai, officials said. | https://www.kitv.com/news/crime/2-kauai-men-arrested-for-online-child-sex-crimes-during-operation-keiki-shield-sting/article_628b9816-3305-11ed-80b0-53d73218d147.html | 2022-09-13T04:03:41Z | kitv.com | control | https://www.kitv.com/news/crime/2-kauai-men-arrested-for-online-child-sex-crimes-during-operation-keiki-shield-sting/article_628b9816-3305-11ed-80b0-53d73218d147.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Geena Davis, left, accepts the Governors Award alongside Madeline Di Nonno.
"The White Lotus" cleaned up as repeat winners mixed with first-time honorees at the 74th annual Emmy Awards, but it was Sheryl Lee Ralph who woke up the audience with her half-sung acceptance speech, on a night where HBO and Netflix geared up for another in their now-annual battles for supremacy in the realm of prestige TV.
Ralph became only the second Black woman to win supporting actress in a comedy for ABC's "Abbott Elementary," a win that came 35 years after Jackee Harry broke through for "227." The Broadway star sang part of her speech (thanking executives in script that ran across the bottom of the screen), bringing the crowd -- sleepy, until that point -- bounding to its feet.
There was, as usual, a fair amount of repetition, and a whole lot of bleeped-out words. The former included the seventh consecutive award to "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver," and another trophy for "Saturday Night Live." Oliver's HBO show has owned that category, in much the way Jon Stewart did at his former home, "The Daily Show."
Julia Garner also received her third Emmy for her supporting role as Ruth in Netflix's grim drama "Ozark," while Brett Goldstein nabbed a rare back-to-back win (thanks to being eligible in successive years) for Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso."
Still, other first-time winners broke through as well. Matthew Macfadyen took the supporting actor award for HBO's "Succession," this year's most-nominated program, joined by limited-series stars Michael Keaton for "Dopesick" and Amanda Seyfried for another fact-based Hulu production, "The Dropout."
First-time nominees Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge were also recognized for HBO's "The White Lotus," with the latter having to overcome four of her co-stars. Coolidge got played off during her ebullient acceptance speech, after a few recipients had talked over the music. Mike White also won for both writing and directing the series, which already claimed five technical awards previously.
Amazon's "Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls" also capped its three-Emmy run through this awards season by winning for competition program, prompting an emotional acceptance from its host.
Netflix tied a 47-year-old record (originally set by CBS) with a total of 44 Emmys last year across the Creative Arts Awards, dedicated primarily to technical categories, and the main telecast. That included sweeping the top drama categories with "The Crown," which didn't air during this year's eligibility period.
HBO and HBO Max topped all platforms coming into this year's primary telecast, with 26 awards, versus 23 for Netflix. Both were well ahead of the nearest competitors, Disney+ and Hulu -- both owned by Disney -- with nine and eight wins, respectively. (Like CNN, HBO is a unit of Warner Bros. Discovery.)
HBO was the most-honored network in 2019 and 2020, tying with Netflix the year before that.
Hosted by Kenan Thompson, the ceremony kicked off with a tribute to TV theme songs, and a standing ovation for Oprah Winfrey, who presented the first award of the night.
After record-low ratings in 2020 with a virtual ceremony, viewership of the Emmys rebounded last year to an estimated 7.4 million viewers -- still low by historic standards, but a marked improvement over the previous two years.
Ratings for linear TV have been declining in general, and the Emmys are perceived to have been impacted by nominating fewer widely popular shows as streaming has taken over the awards competition.
TV rights to the Emmys rotate among the four major broadcast networks. This year's show moved from its usual Sunday broadcast because it's airing on NBC, which carries "Sunday Night Football." | https://www.kitv.com/news/national/hbo-and-the-white-lotus-clean-up-at-the-emmys-amid-a-mix-of-old/article_9993d2b2-7d85-55ab-b884-666703bb729e.html | 2022-09-13T04:03:53Z | kitv.com | control | https://www.kitv.com/news/national/hbo-and-the-white-lotus-clean-up-at-the-emmys-amid-a-mix-of-old/article_9993d2b2-7d85-55ab-b884-666703bb729e.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

CHEYENNE – Republican U.S. House of Representatives primary winner Harriet Hageman has declined an invitation to debate Democratic contender Lynnette GreyBull next month.
WyomingPBS confirmed Monday that officials had provided two dates in October for Hageman to participate in the general election debate, and she declined both. For the first date, she said there was a scheduling conflict, and when given a second available date, Hageman said she would not participate at all.
“Since announcing her candidacy, Harriet Hageman has traveled over 40,000 miles across Wyoming, held more than 200 events and spoken with thousands of voters. This is a much more effective way of communicating with Wyomingites, and it's how she will continue,” her campaign responded in a statement. “We thank you for your invitation, but respectfully decline.”
Democratic primary winner GreyBull said Hageman’s decision not to join her on the debate stage showed a lack of dedication to her role as a representative. She said it’s a tactic of the privileged class to not participate in debates, and to not have an open dialogue about issues concerning Wyomingites. She said constituents deserve to hear Hageman’s plan for the state, and compare them to the position GreyBull has on various issues.
“I do hope she would consider changing her mind,” GreyBull said.
WyomingPBS Senior Producer for Public Affairs Steve Peck told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle it was disappointing that Hageman was not going to take part, because the debates are a key component in educating constituents. He said WyomingPBS had been hosting the live statewide debates for many years, and noted that Hageman took part in the Republican primary debate earlier this year.
“We’re the only ones that do it consistently in this way, and we’re sorry that not everyone is going to be participating,” he said.
Although he has not reviewed every single debate WyomingPBS has hosted, he said it is extraordinarily rare that a major party candidate would decline a general election debate invitation.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The HBO drama “Succession” and comedy “Ted Lasso” took top honors at the Emmy Awards in a ceremony that spread its awards between repeat winners and also honored several first-timers.
Jason Sudeikis and Jean Smart collected back-to-back acting trophies, while Zendaya picked up her second drama actress prize for “Euphoria.”
Several new Emmy winners were minted, with Lizzo, Lee Jung-jae of “Squid Game” and Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph of “Abbott Elementary” collecting trophies.
“Thanks for making such a safe space to make this very difficult show,” said Zendaya, a two-time winner for “Euphoria,” the drama series about teens and their tough coming-of-age.
“My greatest wish for “Euphoria’ was that it could help heal people. Thank you for everyone who has shared your story with me. I carry them with me, and I carry them with” her character, Rue, as well, Zendaya said.
Sudeikis won his second consecutive trophy for the soccer comedy “Ted Lasso,” with Smart matching that haul for the standup-centered comedy “Hacks.” Sudeikis gave a rare awards show shoutout to TV consumers.
“Thanks to the people who watch this show and dig it as much as we dig making it,” he said.
Ralph stopped the Emmy Awards show by accepting the best supporting actress comedy award for “Abbott Elementary” with a brief but rousing song of affirmation.
“I am an endangered species, but I sing no victim song. I am a woman, I am an artist and I know where my voice belongs,” she belted out. She then encouraged anyone doubting their dream “I am here to tell you this is what believing looks like.”
The audience, including Lizzo and many of television’s biggest stars, leapt to their feet to cheer on Ralph.
When Lizzo herself accepted the award for best-competition series trophy for “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” she offered another emotional pep talk.
“When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me,” the music artist said.
“Ted Lasso” co-star Brett Goldstein, won comedy supporting actors, while Matthew Macfadyen of “Succession” and Julia Garner of “Ozark” earned drama seires supporting actor honors.
“It’s such a a pleasure and privilege for me to play this bonkers gift of a role in this wonderful show,” Macfadyen said in accepting the trophy for his role as a scheming member of a media empire family.
Garner was among the winners who took advantage of covering all bases by thanking her husband and others in an on-screen message.
“The White Lotus” collected several honors, including best limited or anthology series.
Host Kenan Thompson kicked off the Emmys with a tribute to TV, dismissing Tik-Tok as “tiny vertical television,” and a musical number saluting series’ theme songs from “Friends” to “The Brady Bunch” to “Game of Thrones.”
Once the music stopped, Thompson provided a mic drop moment — announcing Oprah Winfrey as the first presenter. Winfrey strutted onto the stage holding an Emmy statuette, declaring the night “a party!” The night’s first award went to Michael Keaton for his role in “Dopesick.” Winfrey and Keaton hugged before she handed him his trophy.
“It means something,” Keaton said of the award for playing a caring doctor ensnared with his patients by addiction. He went on to recall the “magic” of being introduced to TV when his dad won a set at a raffle and thanked his parents for not mocking his youthful attempts at acting.
Amanda Seyfried earned the limited-series lead actress trophy for “The Dropout,” in which she played ill-fated Silicon Valley whiz kid Elizabeth Holmes. She thanked a list of family and colleagues and even her dog, Finn.
Murray Bartlett won the best supporting actor award for limited series of “The White Lotus,” a tragicomedy set in a Hawaii resort. Jennifer Coolidge, who won best supporting actress honors for the show, delighted the audience by shimmying to the music intended to cut off her acceptance speech.
The award for best variety talk show went to “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” with stand-up special “Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel” winning for best writing for a comedy special.
“Good night, everybody. I’ma go home. I’m not like a sore winner, but I’m going to go home because I can’t top this right now,” an overcome Carmichael told the audience.
The vibrant start to Monday’s show was very different from the best drama contenders include the violently dystopian “Squid Game,” bleak workplace satire “Severance” and “Succession,” about a powerful and cutthroat family. Even comedy nominee “Ted Lasso,” the defending champ, took a storytelling dark turn.
The Emmys aired live on NBC and streamed on Peacock.
Early arrivals on the show’s gold carpet struck a fun, upbeat tone despite temperatures being in the 80s with unseasonable humidity in downtown Los Angeles. Glamour was back with some metallic sparkle and lots of bright color as an otherworldly Britt Lower, Old Hollywood Elle Fanning and their fellow stars posed for photographers.

BOSTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Monday urged Americans to come together for a new “national purpose” — his administration’s effort to end cancer “as we know it.”
At the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Biden channeled JFK’s famed moonshot speech 60 years ago, likening the space race to his own effort and hoping it, too, would galvanize Americans.
“He established a national purpose that could rally the American people and a common cause,” Biden said of Kennedy’s space effort, adding that “we can usher in the same unwillingness to postpone.”
Biden hopes to move the U.S. closer to the goal he set in February of cutting U.S. cancer fatalities by 50% over the next 25 years and dramatically improving the lives of caregivers and those suffering from cancer. Experts say the objective is attainable — with adequate investments.
The president called his goal of developing treatments and therapeutics for cancers “bold, ambitious, and I might add, completely doable.”
In his speech, Biden called on the private sector to make drugs more affordable, and data more regularly available. He ticked off medical advancements possible with focused research, funding and data.
And he spoke of a new federally backed study that seeks evidence for using blood tests to screen against multiple cancers — a potential game-changer in diagnostic testing to dramatically improve early detection of cancers.
Danielle Carnival, the White House coordinator for the effort, told The Associated Press that the administration sees huge potential in the commencement of the blood diagnostic study on identifying cancers.
“One of the most promising technologies has been the development of blood tests that offer the promise of detecting multiple cancers in a single blood test and really imagining the impact that could have on our ability to detect cancer early and in a more equitable way,” Carnival said. “We think the best way to get us to the place where those are realized is to really test out the technologies we have today and see what works and what really has an impact on extending lives.”
In 2022, the American Cancer Society estimates, 1.9 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed and 609,360 people will die of cancer diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rank cancer as the second-highest killer of people in the U.S. after heart disease.
The issue is personal to Biden, who lost his adult son Beau in 2015 to brain cancer. After Beau’s death, Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act, which dedicated $1.8 billion over seven years for cancer research and was signed into law in 2016 by President Barack Obama.
Obama designated Biden, then vice president, to run “mission control” on directing the cancer funds as a recognition of Biden’s grief as a parent and desire to do something about it. Biden wrote in his memoir “Promise Me, Dad” that he chose not to run for president in 2016 primarily because of Beau’s death.
Despite Biden’s attempts to hark back to Kennedy and his space program, the current initiative lacks that same level of budgetary support. The Apollo program garnered massive public investment — more than $20 billion, or more than $220 billion in 2022 dollars adjusted for inflation. Biden’s effort is far more modest and reliant on private sector investment.
Still, he’s tried to maintain momentum for investments in public health research, including championing the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, modeled after similar research and development initiatives benefiting the Pentagon and intelligence community.
On Monday, Biden announced Dr. Renee Wegrzyn as the inaugural director of ARPA-H, which has been given the task of studying treatments and potential cures for cancers, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and other diseases. He also announced a new National Cancer Institute scholars’ program to provide funding to early-career scientists studying treatments and cures for cancer, with a focus on underrepresented groups and those from diverse backgrounds.
The president was joined by Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of JFK who is now the U.S. ambassador to Australia. He reiterated his administration’s efforts later Monday at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee.
Experts agree it’s far too early to say whether these new blood tests for finding cancer in healthy people will have any effect on cancer deaths. There have been no studies to show they reduce the risk of dying from cancer. Still, they say setting an ambitious goal is important.
Carnival said the National Cancer Institute study was designed so that any promising diagnostic results could be swiftly put into widespread practice while the longer-term study — expected to last up to a decade — progresses. She said the goal was to move closer to a future where cancers could be detected through routine bloodwork, potentially reducing the need for more invasive and burdensome procedures like colonoscopies, and therefore saving lives.
Scientists now understand that cancer is not a single disease, but hundreds of diseases that respond differently to different treatments. Some cancers have biomarkers that can be targeted by existing drugs that will slow a tumor’s growth. Many more targets await discovery.
“How do we learn what therapies are effective in which subtypes of disease? That to me is oceanic,” said Donald A. Berry, a biostatistician at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. “The possibilities are enormous. The challenges are enormous.”
Despite the challenges, he’s optimistic about cutting the cancer death rate in half over the next 25 years.
“We can get to that 50% goal by slowing the disease sufficiently across the various cancers without curing anybody,” Berry said. “If I were to bet on whether we will achieve this 50% reduction, I would bet yes.”
Even without new breakthroughs, progress can be made by making care more equitable, said Dr. Crystal Denlinger, chief scientific officer for the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, a group of elite cancer centers.
And any effort to reduce the cancer death rate will need to focus on the biggest cancer killer, which is lung cancer. Mostly attributable to smoking, lung cancer now causes more cancer deaths than any other cancer. Of the 1,670 daily cancer deaths in the United States, more than 350 are from lung cancer.
Lung cancer screening is helping. The American Cancer Society says such screening helped drive down the cancer death rate 32% from its peak in 1991 to 2019, the most recent year for which numbers are available.
But only 5% of eligible patients are being screened for lung cancer.
In his speech, Biden highlighted provisions in the Democrats’ healthcare and climate change bill that the administration believes will lower out-of-pocket drug prices for some widely used cancer treatments. And he celebrated new guarantees for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, that cover their potential cancer diagnoses.
Dr. Michael Hassett of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, said Biden’s goal to reduce cancer deaths could be met by following two parallel paths: one of discovery and the other making sure as many people as possible are reaping the advantages of existing therapies and preventive approaches.
“If we can address both aspects, both challenges, major advances are possible,” Hassett said.

CNN with the update on comments from US Secretary of State Blinken.
- “What we’ve seen over the last week or so in Iran’s response to the proposal put forward by the European Union is clearly a step backward and makes prospects for an agreement in the near-term, I would say, unlikely,”
- Blinken said Monday he could not offer a time frame for when he thinks it will be possible to reenter an Iran nuclear deal, saying Iran is either “unwilling or unable to do what is necessary to reach an agreement.”
- “They continue to try to introduce extraneous issues to the negotiation that make an agreement less likely”

The umbrella body of Nigerian workers in Colleges of Education has rebuked the Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities for saying that professors in Nigerian universities earn less than Chief Lecturers in Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
In a press statement signed by its President, Dr Smart Olugbeko, the union, Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU), said, “We note with serious reservations the recent claim by the Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (CVCNU) that professors in Nigerian universities earn less than Chief Lecturers in Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
“COEASU seldom engages itself in debates over the conduct of affairs of sister unions let alone the university system which is the ivory tower responsible for the education of the top-level manpower of the nation. However, giving the innuendoes and implicit aspersions supposedly cast on Chief Lecturers, the most experienced and seasoned academics and those at the apex of our noble profession, it would not be preposterous to state that a measured response to the statement, in the form of a clarification as well as caution, is not just a matter of necessity but an imperative.
“As a well-focused union with enormous respect and empathy for Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), we would not have joined issues with the vice-chancellors on this seemingly divisive comment except that it is not only misleading but also potentially counterproductive at this time when our union is renegotiating the welfare of our members with the government.
“The action of the vice-chancellors contravenes the principle of mutual respect and solidarity between our union and ASUU and the robust support we have shown towards the painful plight of ASUU members which we equally feel as Colleges of Education lecturers suffering the same poor conditions of service and remuneration.”
The union further said, “We enjoin the Vice-chancellors to note that Chief Lecturers in Colleges of Education are equally professional teachers who possess doctorate degree (Phd) which is the highest academic qualification, carry out research, train young minds for national development and engage in impactful community service.
“The union wishes to inform the vice-chancellors that the salary structure specifically drawn for the academic staff of polytechnics and Colleges of Education is the CONPCASS. This is not the same with the university CONUASS in terms of value in accordance with the levels. It also did not, initially, recognise the peculiarities of the College of Education system, in terms of the distinct responsibilities or job-specific functions different from those of others.
“In other words, the remuneration for peculiar academic allowances for academic staff dissimilar to the general allowances consolidated by National Salaries Income and Wages Commission (NSIWC) was not included. However, the agitation of the union which culminated into the endorsement of the FGN-COEASU 2010 Agreement paved the way for the inclusion of Peculiar Earned Academic Allowances (PEAA) in monthly salary as a non-consolidated benefit. This is another distinguishing factor between the salary of the academics of universities and Colleges of Education.
“It is, therefore, quite evident that the Colleges of Education are not being paid the same salaries of universities let alone are Chief Lecturers’ salaries above those of professors. It is, however, expedient to further clarify that what the government has done over the years has been to calibrate the salary structure of tertiary institutions staff by implementing the rate(s) of increase of emoluments across board for the appropriate staff of all tertiary institutions, Colleges of Education, Polytechnics, and universities.
“For the avoidance of doubt, a visit to the office of the Chairman of National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission will afford the vice-chancellors the opportunity of placing side-by-side the approved salary tables of academics in the university, College of Education and polytechnic.”
On the ongoing ASUU strike, COEASU also said, “While the union restates its solidarity with ASUU on the impasse with the Federal Government, it suffices to state that COEASU’s sympathy with Nigerian students for their resilience and huge sacrifice for posterity is not in doubt. However, we enjoin the Committee of vice-chancellors to look inwards and be perceptive enough to draw good lessons from our union’s solidarity and partnership with ASUU rather than instigating unhealthy and unnecessary rivalry.”

S&P Global with this piece, in summary:
- Far from expecting China and India to join the G7 price cap alliance, the US hopes the price cap will expand the discount for Russian crudes on the global market giving Asian refiners additional leverage to negotiate down prices in supply talks with Russia.
- The G7 appears to be banking on Russia redirecting more oil flows to Asia rather than retaliating by shutting in production. With Russia's energy exports normally funding more than half of Russia's government budget, the US believes Putin will be loath to simply turning off the spigots and should opt to absorb a bigger discount for his oil.
- "The price cap is greater than marginal costs of production for Russia so there is a clear economic incentive for Russia to continue to produce oil and sell it," US Treasury's Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes Elizabeth Rosenberg said.

For years, the Lexus brand has been almost synonymous with its bestseller, the RX crossover SUV. The egg-shaped RX enjoyed so much success that its admirers became copiers, and the RX itself became overshadowed by the copies.
With the outgoing fourth-generation RX, Lexus courted a more youthful demo by slapping on a giant spindle grille, folding in as many body creases as an origami crane, and floating a roof. Teenagers with crustaches have pulled off better takes on edgy youth.
Lexus pulled out the razor and trimmed the redesigned 2023 Lexus RX to split the difference between its ovoid past and recent spunk. More importantly, the changes to the fifth-generation bestseller go beyond skin deep.
Enticing new shoppers (in their 40s) without alienating core fans (in their 60s), the 2023 Lexus RX comes in six trims, four powertrains, three hybrid options, two all-wheel-drive systems, and a more versatile platform that’s new to the RX. The 3.5-liter V-6 is gone for good, but the 350 designation remains for a new generation.
Most of the changes occur behind the RX’s tamer design. Its new TNGA-K platform shared widely in the Toyota family is both stiffer and 198 lb lighter, and it influences the packaging and design. Regardless of the drivetrain and battery packs, the gas and hybrid models have nearly the same interior proportions as last year, except the cargo volume has blossomed from 32.6 cubic feet to 46.2 cubic feet with the seats down. The seven-seat RX L model won’t return this year.
Lexus pulled back the A-pillar and windshield an inch and trimmed the rear overhang by 2.4 inches, yet the wheelbase extends by that same difference. It makes the nose appear longer, and the rear more compact and muscular. The hood dips down into what used to be the top of the massive chrome-framed spindle grille. It’s melting now, and spreads out past the frame as if frozen in aero motion. Rounded wheel arches and a curving body line represent the smoother flow of the RX.
2023 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance
This iteration of the RX F Sport first introduced on the outgoing model takes a bigger step closer to the performance suggested by its name. It employs a 2.4-liter turbo-4 with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a motor generator. A 107-hp motor and inverter power the rear axle, and the motor is fed by the brand’s tried-and-true nickel-metal hydride battery. Together, this new system produces 366 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
With no direct mechanical connection between the axles, the 500h can adjust torque to the axles to optimize the driving mode. In Sport mode at launch, the torque shifts from that of a front-wheel-drive crossover to a 40/60 split favoring the rear axle. It steadies the weight transfer and helps the 500h reach a 0-60 mph time in 5.9 seconds, according to Lexus.
It’s spirited and surprisingly spry, but there were a couple of instances where I wanted a couple more gears in the 6-speed automatic. Shifting down into second gear when going heavy on the throttle takes a long beat that can interrupt on-ramp fantasies. It was more tolerant of the upshifts, letting me stay in second gear until about 56 mph, which was ideal up the hills on the interior of the California coast. But when downshifting, it stayed in third gear until about 45 mph no matter how I flicked the paddles. Coming around a bend into a valley left me hunting for more grunting, but that’s picking nits as there was plenty of passing power for everyday use.
It couldn’t fully shed the physics of its 4,751-lb profile, but the four degrees of rear-axle steering made a difference sashaying through the higher speed valley sweepers. At lower speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the fronts to make parking easier or to hone a three-point turn into one point.
Eco, Normal, Sport, and Custom modes change the throttle response, and Eco mode feels as if you’re stepping on a sponge. Each mode can be customized for Sport or Normal settings for the powertrain, suspension, and steering, but it’s best to set it before driving hard because the drive modes are only accessible through the touchscreen.
Still, with the Direct4 AWD system and adaptive dampers on its front strut and multi-link rear suspension, the RX500h feels more composed than any of its predecessors. It remains quiet and chill in the RX way, but now it has the option to be injected with more performance chops.
It’s a tempting alternative to the Acura MDX Type S, and sportier than any SUV from Infiniti, Lincoln, or Cadillac. (We’ll exclude the Escalade-V because it’s ridiculous.) It only gets a Lexus-estimated 27 mpg combined, but for efficiency over performance, check out the RX 350h.

Like the 500h, the RX 350h comes standard with all-wheel drive. Unlike the 500h, it was built for efficiency mainly. Lexus targets a mpg stat line of 37 mpg city, 34 highway, and 36 combined, compared to the 30 mpg combined in the last model.
The 3.5-liter V-6 is replaced with a 2.5-liter inline-4 dual-motor hybrid system used in everything from the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to the forthcoming Toyota Crown. In the RX 350h, it makes 246 hp and 233 lb-ft of torque (down from 308 hp and 247 lb-ft in the 2022 model). It pairs with a CVT that’s innocuous around town, but for any rushed driving it keeps the engine high in the rev range and fills the cabin with the kind of complaining that’s unbecoming of an RX. Lexus quotes a 0-60 mph time of 7.4 seconds, but we’d recommend taking it easy for good fuel economy and quiet cruising.
Its on-demand all-wheel-drive system can split the torque 50/50, but it defaults to front-wheel drive. A Trail mode splits the torque to both axles and brake-based torque vectoring controls wheel slip in turns. We didn’t go off road, and with just 8.1 inches of ground clearance and tires made for pavement, it’s best to stay on pavement.
2023 Lexus RX 350
Standard with front-wheel drive but available with all-wheel drive, the RX 350 opens the door for more performance and less efficiency at a lower expected price than the other models. The base RX 350 uses a 2.4-liter turbo-4 that makes 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.
After a bit of turbo lag, the 350 responded sharply and the 8-speed automatic transmission flicked through gears without hesitation. With the engine allowed to climb into the 6,000-rpm range, there was never a doubt when passing trucks and tourists, including on uphill grades. Available AWD comes with paddle shifters for more driver control and a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds, compared to 7.6 seconds with FWD
F Sport Handling models come with AWD and adaptive dampers that better helped the RX maintain its composure than in back-to-back testing without it. The RX 350 is both stronger and smoother than the RX 350h, and the new F Sport Handling might be the sweet spot in the RX lineup once pricing is finalized.
Lexus RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid
It’s still unclear when the first plug-in hybrid for the RX will go on sale in the U.S., and I was only treated to brief 10-minute loops of a pre-production Euro-spec model, so a lot remains unknown. But it’s very quiet.
The RX 450h+ shares a 18.1-kwh battery and plug-in hybrid powertrain with the smaller NX450h+ and the Toyota RAV4 Prime. It has a 2.5-liter inline-4 and two-motor hybrid system to power the front wheels, and a dedicated motor at the rear axle for AWD.
Driving in EV mode, the RX 450h+ was not as quick off the line as other PHEVs, but it made a seamless shift between gas and electric power. It also had the EV drive mode buttons on the console, which would be preferred for the drive modes in the 500h. It also had power seat buttons on the inside of the front passenger seat, so anyone in any of the five seating positions could adjust the front passenger seat, same as in Genesis models.
Aside from how it drives, the RX 350 compels for its boodle of standard features. It comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, a wi-fi hotspot, a 12-speaker sound system, six USB ports, a sunroof, and a 9.8-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity, though most models get a 14.0-inch touchscreen. Underneath the screen, Lexus provides actual climate dials, which is always nice. Options range from lush leather and suede trimmed seats to ash bamboo wood trim and a heated wood steering wheel.
Lexus equips every RX with pushbutton door handles that might not make the best first impression, but they appeal over time with their quiet effortlessness. Something that took me longer to get used to were the blank four-way controllers on either side of the steering wheel. They control icons that appear in the instrument cluster or in the head-up display when equipped (the visibility for either is not doused by the sun). To increase the adaptive cruise control speed, for one example, gently rest your thumb on the up arrow to activate that function then press the up arrow like a normal button to increase the speed. The compact design lets Lexus house a lot of info within the steering controls, including some features that may not be available yet, but it takes a learning curve that exceeded my day with the RX.
The redesigned 2023 Lexus RX casts a much wider net than its predecessor with four powertrains that give the crossover four distinctive personalities. Every demographic appreciates the power of choice.

YAKIMA, Wash. - Monday Yakima's grey and rainy weather reflected the emotions looming in the air as the search for missing four-year-old, Lucian Munguia, entered its second full day.
The Yakima County Sheriff's Office is now taking the lead on searching for Munguia and investigating all possible leads alongside the Yakima Police Department.
YPD Patrol Division Captain Jay Seely said they can't only focus on one possibility because they don't know what happened to him.
"We're looking at all aspects of this as far as maybe he's just missing and hiding in the brush to maybe something drastic has really happened," Captain Seely said.
Lucian Munguia was last seen Saturday evening playing with his older brother at Sarg Hubbard Park. He and his brother were rolling down a grass hill by the playground when his older brother couldn't see him anymore.
Lucian's dad called police after frantically searching for him for 15 minutes.
Lucian Munguia was last seen wearing a shirt with sharks on it, blue shorts and black sketchers. He also has long hair. His mom Sandra Munguia said Lucian is autistic and likes the water.
With that lead, YCSO said searches have focused along the Yakima Greenway and the Yakima River following beside it.
YCSO said just about every resource has been used. Six Counties including Spokane County, Kittitas County, Klickitat County, King County, Pierce County Moses Lake Fire Department and the U.S. Airforce have all put in resources to help find him.
Search teams are using kayaks to search the Yakima River, drones, ground teams, a bloodhound, cadaver dogs, all terrain vehicles, submergible drones and more.
Camp Hope residents have also volunteered to help search because the path runs behind their camp and many of them know it well. Camp Hope volunteer Heather Lyczewski said the people living at the camp take situations like this seriously.
"Most of us have a mother or father, are a mother or father so we know how terrible this incident could be," Lyczewski said.
Monday the search focused on the south side of the greenway after reports that Lucian was seen going that way.
Sandra Munguia said she doesn't think her son would hide this long and she believes he was kidnapped but she doesn't have any proof. If he was taken, she asks that the person do the right thing and bring him back.
"If someone did, just let him go, bring him back to the park where he went missing, Sarg Hubbard or Kiwanis, his favorite park," she said. "We just want him back home and safe. I just want to hold my baby again."
If you see Lucian Munguia, his mom said he will respond to his name or if you ask him if he wants to go 'bye bye in mommy's new car.'
YPD is asking that tips be called into 911. There was also a party going on at Sarg Hubbard on Saturday. YPD is asking if you were at that party or at Sarg Hubbard between 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on Saturday and took any video or pictures that may have caught Lucian in the background to email them to YP@yakimawa.gov. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/i-just-want-to-hold-my-baby-again-missing-four-year-olds-mother-prays-son/article_077fc762-32f1-11ed-920e-6b0a801e191b.html | 2022-09-13T04:33:15Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/i-just-want-to-hold-my-baby-again-missing-four-year-olds-mother-prays-son/article_077fc762-32f1-11ed-920e-6b0a801e191b.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
YAKIMA, Wash.-
UPDATE: 7:44 p.m.
Some assets of Lucian's search efforts are scaling back as the Yakima Police Department now asks the public to continue the search for the missing 4-year-old. Search crews from the U.S. Air Force, numerous counties, multiple fire departments and more have contributed, according to the press release from YPD.
At this point, over 15 search dogs, some ATVs, boats, kayaks, drones, underwater drones, a statewide alert, helicopter, Columbia Basin dive teams and more than 150 searchers have been utilized in the search. They've checked the park, nearby roads and businesses, in the water, on the river, through the trails and more, using GPS to be as thorough as possible, according to YPD.
YPD says the investigation does not currently suggest foul play. Detectives say Lucian left the playground alone, headed south and east. There are multiple bodies of water that way, but all have been checked.
"We are now asking the public to continue the search and notify police immediately if they find Lucian or a clue to his location," said the press release.
The search and rescue team and state resources have been scaled back. YPD says this is consistent with search protocol in urban areas.
"We continue to assign personnel to this effort and sincerely pray for a positive outcome," said the release. "We ask that you continue to keep Lucian's family in your thoughts. This is an unimaginably painful situation."
Monday, Sept, 12th. 10:37 a.m.
The search continues for Lucian, a four year old who went missing from Sarg Hubbard Park in Yakima on Saturday night.
Several agencies from across Washington have joined in the search efforts, including Kittitas County, the U.S. Air Force, Pierce County, Klickitat County. and the Moses Lake Fire Department.
According to the Yakima County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) the river and pond at Sarg Hubbard Park have been searched and tracking dogs and a cadaver dog have been employed.
The U.S. Air Force has also provided drones to aid in the search.
The YCSO says a party was going on at the park from around 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday night. They are asking members of the public who may have taken photos or videos at the party to check the background to see if they perhaps caught an image of Lucian.
Anyone with any possible photos or videos of Lucian is asked to contact the YCSO at 509-574-2500.
According to the YCSO they are focusing their search south of Sarg Hubbard Park after reports of sightings of Lucian in that direction.
The YCSO is not currently asking for volunteers, but those wanting to help search can sign up at the mobile command post at Sarg Hubbard Park.
The official search party will look until 6 p.m. tonight, then leave a smaller force in the park overnight. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/update-public-should-search-for-missing-4-year-old-in-yakima/article_9f495dae-32c1-11ed-8ab8-03995328e62a.html | 2022-09-13T04:33:21Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/update-public-should-search-for-missing-4-year-old-in-yakima/article_9f495dae-32c1-11ed-8ab8-03995328e62a.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning about the spread of a common childhood virus that can cause muscle weakness or paralysis in rare cases.
The CDC issued an alert Friday about enterovirus D68, which most commonly leads to respiratory illness among kids, with symptoms that are often mild but can become severe. The enterovirus family is large, and polio falls within it; both EV-D68 and poliovirus can invade the nervous system and cause muscle weakness.
Occasionally, EV-D68 can result in a condition called acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM, which is characterized by inflammation in the neck region of the spinal cord. Some people who experience AFM have difficulty moving their arms, while others experience weakness in all four extremities. During a large outbreak in the U.S. in 2014, around 10% of people with EV-D68 went on to develop AFM.
Full recovery from AFM is rare, and although most patients improve to some extent, the process is often difficult, and it requires rehabilitation.
The CDC this year has identified more EV-D68 cases among children with severe respiratory illness than in the past three years combined. There were 84 such cases from March through Aug. 4. By comparison, the CDC identified six such cases in 2019, 30 in 2020 and 16 in 2021.
Those figures are likely to be undercounts, however, because not everyone with respiratory symptoms gets tested for EV-D68.
As of Sept. 2, 13 cases of AFM have been confirmed this year in the U.S. The CDC said it is investigating 20 additional cases.
In the past, the CDC has recorded spikes in EV-D68 cases every other year. Before the coronavirus pandemic, that was in 2014, 2016 and 2018. Dr. Benjamin Greenberg, a neurologist at UT Southwestern’s O’Donnell Brain Institute who treats patients at Children’s Health in Dallas, said the pattern most likely appears because kids develop immunity to the enterovirus when it spreads, leading to "off" years with higher population immunity. Once the immunity wanes, case numbers tick up again.
Dr. Sarah Hopkins, a pediatric neurologist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said: “We really thought this was going to happen in 2020, because we had the last spike in 2018. But then with mask-wearing and social distancing and all those things that limit the spread of a respiratory virus, we didn’t have that expected spike.”
Greenberg said cases are most likely rising again this year because children are back in school and other public spaces.
"We have a group of kids now who’ve never seen the virus, because they weren’t having school exposures. So we think the at-risk population is bigger than in 2020," he said.
All seven pediatric medical centers affiliated with the CDC's New Vaccine Surveillance Network — in Nashville, Tennessee; Houston; Kansas City, Missouri; Cincinnati; Seattle; Pittsburgh; and Rochester, New York — have detected cases of EV-D68 this year. The CDC said it had also received reports of increases in severe respiratory illness among children in Minnesota, Arizona and Utah, raising concerns that some of those infections might be EV-D68, as well.
The agency is telling health care providers to be on the lookout for EV-D68 cases among kids and to strongly consider AFM as a potential diagnosis for patients with limb weakness.
But it can be hard to distinguish EV-D68 symptoms from those of respiratory viruses, Greenberg said. Like the common cold, EV-D68 can cause a runny nose, sneezing, body aches or muscle aches. Children who require hospitalization tend to have coughs, shortness of breath, wheezing and — in about half of cases — fever.
AFM could also be confused with a severe case of polio, which results in a similar condition called acute flaccid paralysis. The U.S. recorded one polio case in July, and it has detected the virus in wastewater across several New York counties.
Greenberg said the polio detection calls for "raised awareness among health care providers so that they can send appropriate testing."
"It’s really important to know which virus is causing the paralysis in patients,” he added.
What is enterovirus D68?
Scientists first identified enterovirus D68 in 1962. At the time, the virus wasn't circulating much, and it resulted in milder illness than it does today, Greenberg said.
The CDC started doing more testing for EV-D68 in 2014, when scientists noticed a shift in how the virus behaved.
"The virus changed over time in order to acquire the ability to kill neurons to damage the spinal cord," Greenberg said.
This year's case total is lower than 2018's. From July to November of that year, the U.S. had 382 cases of EV-D68 among children with acute respiratory illness.
"It doesn’t look like things have suddenly taken a terrible turn for the worse," said Dr. Keith Van Haren, an assistant neurology professor at Stanford University, adding, "I’m hopeful that at least there’s not a tidal wave of new neurologic cases as of yet."
Most EV-D68 cases happen around this time of year, from August to November, he said.
If past years are any indication, Greenberg said, "in the next few weeks we will see an obvious uptick in the number of AFM cases unless the virus has changed for the better."
Van Haren said it takes one to four weeks for an EV-D68 case to progress to AFM, although the condition can take various forms.
"The outcomes are everything from just a little bit of slight shoulder weakness to difficulty moving all extremities and sometimes even needing prolonged respiratory support," Hopkins said.
Van Haren said patients usually start to recover from their respiratory symptoms before neurologic symptoms set in.
"When the neurologic symptoms begin, they can begin pretty suddenly. They can peak within the course of hours in a way that can be a little bit startling," he said.
Children who develop AFM usually require hospitalization. For reasons scientists haven’t quite figured out, kids at greatest risk include those with histories of asthma.
There are no specific treatments for AFM. Doctors may provide antibody therapy to improve a patient’s immune response or administer supportive care, like ventilators or fluids.
The best way to protect yourself or your kids from EV-D68, experts said, is to be diligent about hand-washing and to wear a mask in public. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/virus-associated-with-polio-like-muscle-weakness-is-spreading-among-kids-cdc-warns/article_217826c0-3303-11ed-8db4-9fe89ebd0a46.html | 2022-09-13T04:33:27Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/virus-associated-with-polio-like-muscle-weakness-is-spreading-among-kids-cdc-warns/article_217826c0-3303-11ed-8db4-9fe89ebd0a46.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
WASHINGTON D.C. — The U.S. Senate voted on September 12 to confirm the nomination of Judge Salvador Mendoza Jr. to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, reaching a 46-40 decision. The Yakima Valley native will be the first Hispanic judge to serve on Washington’s Ninth Circuit.
“He has been an outstanding judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington where he has served since 2014…” said Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) on the Senate floor before the vote. “I know Judge Mendoza will make an excellent addition to the Ninth Circuit.”
Mendoza was recommended by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to the Biden administration as a replacement for Judge Margaret McKeown. His nomination by President Biden led to the Senate consideration.
“Judge Mendoza has been a trailblazer, focused on building a more fair and just legal system that works for everyone—not just the wealthy and well-off…” said Senator Murray. “Beyond just his impeccable professional qualifications, Judge Mendoza will bring an important perspective to one of the most consequential appellate courts in this country: the perspective of someone whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico and worked as farm laborers, maids, and factory workers to build a better life for their family.”
Judge Mendoza grew up in the Yakima Valley, raised by immigrants. He would work with them in the fields in the mornings before school. Mendoza graduated from Prosser High School in 1990, got his Bachelor’s at the University of Washington, then his law degree from the University of California - Los Angeles.
He received the Martin Luther King Jr. Spirit Award from Columbia Basin College in 2016.
Judge Mendoza has served as a Judge Pro Tem in Benton and Franklin counties. In 2013, Governor Jay Inslee appointed Mendoza to the Superior Court for Benton and Franklin Counties. The next year, he moved up to a U.S. District Court judge for the Eastern District of Washington, making him the first Hispanic federal judge in Eastern Washington.
“I have no doubt—and based on his record I think there can be no doubt—that serving on the Ninth Circuit, Judge Mendoza will carefully review each case as an appellate judge, respect every party that appears before him, and protect the rights of the American people,” said Senator Murray. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/yakima-native-to-be-first-hispanic-judge-on-wa-ninth-circuit-court/article_4b8e8b30-3302-11ed-b6b7-9ba3b18a6330.html | 2022-09-13T04:33:34Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/yakima-native-to-be-first-hispanic-judge-on-wa-ninth-circuit-court/article_4b8e8b30-3302-11ed-b6b7-9ba3b18a6330.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Pitt Co. school board considers removing valedictorian title from graduation
PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - Pitt County Board of Education members are considering the future of high school valedictorians. They discussed the issue at their board meeting Monday night.
The change could potentially take effect after class of 2022 commencement ceremonies. Board Chairman James Tripp said parents fear students may be overworking themselves, trying to one-up the next person.
“Some parents had concerns that children are studying harder, trying to advance further, and it’s putting a lot pressure of them,” Tripp said. “We are addressing it and looking at it.”
Class of 2022 valedictorians from both J.H. Rose and Farmville high schools noted during their speeches that the honor felt somewhat useless, which raised concerns around the community.
“Most notable this year, we had two valedictorians from J.H. Rose and Farmville, so big school and small school,” said Anna Barrett-Smith, Board of Education District 5 Representative. “In giving their valedictorian speech, each of them expressed that they’d made tremendous sacrifices for that, and both expressed that they weren’t sure if it was worth it.”
Barrett-Smith said the title has caused students to set overwhelming expectations for themselves before they even start high school.
“They’re coming into high school with anxiety before they even walk through the door,” Barrett-Smith said. “They already know who the kids are who’ve been taking classes during the summer, which kids have the opportunities to take more classes the following summer, and it’s creating this anxiety that I think is unnecessary. There’s absolutely a way to encourage kids to push themselves and encourage to take the high level courses, but we need balance.”
Barrett-Smith said the board wants to create a level playing field for each student in the Pitt County school system to ensure they don’t feel the need to compete with one another.
No decision was made on this issue Monday night. Further discussions will take place at future meetings.

Next generation LinuxONE servers extend IBM's capabilities to help clients across industries, including Citibank, reach sustainability targets
ARMONK, N.Y., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today unveiled the next generation of its LinuxONE server, a highly scalable Linux and Kubernetes-based platform, designed to deliver scalability to support thousands of workloads in the footprint of a single system1. IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 features capabilities that can reduce clients' energy consumption. For example, consolidating Linux workloads on five IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 systems instead of running them on compared x86 servers under similar conditions can reduce energy consumption by 75%, space by 50%, and the CO2e footprint by over 850 metric tons annually2.
According to an IBM IBV study, 48% of CEOs across industries say increasing sustainability is one of the highest priorities for their organization in the next two to three years. However, 51% also cite sustainability as among their greatest challenges in that same timeframe, with lack of data insights, unclear ROI, and technology barriers, as hurdles. For these CEOs, scaling their business with modern infrastructure can often be one of the barriers to achieving sustainability goals.
"Data centers are energy intensive, and they can account for a large portion of an organization's energy use. But data and technology can help companies turn sustainability ambition into action," said Marcel Mitran, IBM Fellow, CTO of Cloud Platform, IBM LinuxONE. "Reducing data center energy consumption is a tangible way to decrease carbon footprint. In that context, migrating to IBM LinuxONE is designed to help clients meet their scale and security goals, in addition to meeting sustainability goals for today's digital business."
IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 is an engineered scale-out-on-scale-up system designed to enable clients to run workloads at sustained high density and increase capacity by turning on unused cores without increasing their energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.2 In addition, clients can track energy consumption with IBM Instana Observability on LinuxONE.
IBM's portfolio of sustainability technologies includes solutions to design, deploy and manage energy efficient infrastructures and innovations with a hybrid cloud approach. IBM LinuxONE is one solution within the portfolio designed to optimize data centers by reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency. IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 will be generally available globally on September 14, 2022, with entry and mid-range systems to follow in 1H 2023.
Shifts in the global economy have driven volatility and require flexibility in operational and technical decision-making. Built with the same security, scalability and reliability that has been the hallmark of IBM infrastructure, the next-generation LinuxONE also offers cloud-like flexibility. With a system built for rebalancing of resources in combination with on demand capacity, workloads can scale-up and scale-out dynamically and non-disruptively.
"For CIOs, change is happening at an unprecedented rate and requires organizations to invest in infrastructure that is stable, high value and energy-efficient," said Bjorn Stengal, IDC Global Sustainability Research and Practice Lead. "IBM LinuxONE provides organizations with a secured, scalable architecture to meet their government regulations and customer expectations."
At Citi, the bank's sustainability strategy is driven by a commitment to advance solutions that address climate change and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. Operationally, Citi is focused on reducing the environmental footprint of its facilities, including through improving hosting densities with lower power consumption. Citi is hosting MongoDB on IBM LinuxONE, leveraging the platform's security and resiliency, as well as elastic capacity to address unexpected demand.
"As our business grows and becomes increasingly digital-first, traditional IT solutions add more physical servers and increase required floor space," said Martin Kennedy, Managing Director, Citi Technology Infrastructure. "IBM LinuxONE with MongoDB provides vertical scale and critical protection against data breaches and cyber-attacks, helping optimize data centers while lowering our overall carbon footprint."
The new LinuxONE system also features pervasive encryption to protect data at-rest and in-flight, a priority for clients in regulated industries such as financial services. Building on IBM's cloud security leadership in confidential computing, IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 protects data in use while providing end-to-end encryption. This comprehensive data protection profile provides businesses with a data protection strategy that underpins current and anticipated future cyber security protocols.
Today's hybrid and multicloud environments require clients to deploy workloads where it makes the most sense for their business needs. IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Virtual Servers provide a public cloud environment in which the cloud tenant maintains complete authority over Linux-based virtual servers for workloads that contain sensitive data. Built on IBM LinuxONE and running on IBM Cloud, this service provides customers complete authority over their encrypted data, workloads and encryption keys – not even IBM as the cloud provider has access.
IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 supports a large number of Linux and Red Hat OpenShift-certified workloads, including data serving, core banking and digital assets. IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 receives support from IBM Ecosystem partners, such as Illmuio, Metaco, MongoDB, NGINX, Nth Exception, Fujitsu Limited, Pennant, SQ Solution, Sysdig, Inc. and Temenos.
With cloud native development on LinuxONE, teams of developers can deliver portable and agile solutions without having to learn a new operating system. IT managers need a system that is easy to operate that supports common tools and provides a foundation for the future. LinuxONE enables managers to focus on delivering new services, instead of managing complexity across a vast number of servers. Based on Linux and Kubernetes, everyone benefits from open standards and an ecosystem that includes modern DevSecOps and cloud native tools.
"Together, Temenos and IBM LinuxONE can help major banks move to a modern architecture in a safe, predictable and scalable way, while reducing total cost of ownership and meeting their ESG obligations," said Philip Barnett, President of Strategy Growth at Temenos. "Temenos core banking running on the new LinuxONE servers can operate at a fraction of the cost of general-purpose servers and offer great scalability, resilience and speed to market."

The acquisition will fuel future growth in the global prepared appetizers market to meet customer and consumer demand
TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- McCain Foods has acquired Scelta Products, adding the Netherlands-based producer of frozen foods to its growing family of delicious, prepared vegetable appetizer product offerings.

DETROIT (WXYZ) — A community on Detroit’s west side will soon welcome the city’s very first stand-alone birth center, a historic project aiming to provide new resources and education.
On Monday, the founder shared how the initiative is working to combat disparities in mortality for pregnant mothers and babies in the African American community.
Birth Detroit just closed on the first phase of a land purchase that’s intended for a new facility to be built. It’s literally bringing new life to this community.
“We have been searching for the right location for a while,” Clinical Director Char’ly Snow said.
As a mother, she recalls her own experience of being pregnant becoming life changing. As a midwife, she’s joined CEO and founder Leseliey Welch to start something new at Grand River Avenue and Heritage Place. They say it serves a critical need many are unaware of.
“Infant mortality is 2 to 3 times the rate of white women and that doesn’t account for having a bad experience,” Welch said.
Welsh says their mission is to help combat troubling statistics that include fewer birth care choices and data, which shows Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related issues than white women.
“Unfortunately, insurance doesn’t always reimburse for midwifery services not within hospitals. That’s a part of our mission to change that narrative,” Snow said.
With a goal of serving 500 families a year, Birth Detroit is expanding their current program that offers a wide range of help without performing deliveries. Soon midwife nurses, and when needed, a partnering physician and transfer hospitals will all become part of the effort.
“The greatest goal we hope to achieve is to ensure all families have access to all safe birth options. No matter race, religion, income, language — all these things,” Welch said.
Similar to 400 centers around the country, Birth Detroit offers services to women with insurance as well as those who cannot pay.
When it opens, the center will provide a comfortable, home-like environment to welcome babies into the world. The Birth Center is set to open in late fall 2023, with groundbreaking in the next couple months.

The first time the Cougars have beat the Sailors in two years.
Manny Bedola-Reyes notched back-to-back goals in less than a minute in the middle of the first half. It was 2-0 at halftime. In the second, South's Will Kuiphof scored for the sailors, cutting the lead in half. But a few minutes later, off a corner kick, CC's Conor Neilson scored the third and final goal for the Cougs.
"Last year when we lost district finals, I left crying. I was trying to win for my captain. It feels great, got two goals. I was trying to get a hat trick but that didn't happen. We got the win against a hard opponent, shout out them. It was my fourth time playing them, it's never easy but we got the dub today," said Bedola-Reyes.
"It felt good after such a long time losing to them. They always play good, they have a good, strong, athletic team," said goalie Marco Narvaez-Diaz.
"The last two years we've been knocked out at this field from South. Two years ago they made it to state and lost, and we lost to them in the regional final. And then last year we lost to them in the district final and they went on to win state. It's a great feeling to beat such a great team. They're really well coached. A very difficult team to be honest, just because they have a little bit of everything. They have ball possession, they have size, they have long throw ins and corners, so it was great," said Head Coach Joey Barone.

The Niagara County SPCA is in crisis. The “no-kill” animal shelter has reached its housing capacity for strays and surrendered dogs. The organization’s sustainability is challenged as it struggles to fulfill its contractual obligations to shelter strays and manage surrenders from pet owners living in Niagara Falls, Lockport, North Tonawanda and other surrounding towns and municipalities. In fact, according to its website, walk-in surrenders are suspended.
The Niagara County SPCA dog adoption fees are based on age and cover important initial costs which include spay/neuter surgery, microchip implant, 30-day flea control application, initial age-appropriate vaccines, a general dewormer, and a 30-day free ShelterCare Health Insurance with a valid email address. The fees are: 6 months and under, $350; six months to 10 years, $250; and 10+ years, $75.
Dogs make great companions. However, it takes money to care for a dog properly. The true cost of dog ownership is a struggle for some pet owners. One-time or initial expenses such as a leash, collar bed, crate, dog bowls may be affordable, however, the recurring expenses like, food, treats, toys, licenses, vaccines, medication, dental care, and annual exams can add up. Dog owners with busy work schedules may also incur costs for boarding, pet sitting, behavioral training, or doggie day care.
Numerous pet insurance plans are available and many cover some basic care, but the monthly premiums can range between $40 and $168 per month. The deductibles fall within the same range. Pre-existing conditions and sickness are generally excluded.
How can the Niagara County SPCA reduce intake and increase adoptions? What can local governments and communities do to mitigate the problem and accept some of the responsibility?
Perhaps the Niagara County SPCA can implement completion of a pet owner’s expense worksheet as part of the adoption process. I wonder how many pet owners adopt without factoring a pet budget into their personal budget.
Years ago, I rescued a four-year-old Pug from a young pregnant woman. A friend overheard the woman asking grocery store patrons if anyone could take her dog. She had to move in with her mother and could no longer afford to keep and care for the dog. My friend overheard the woman say that if she could not find a home, she would leave the dog on the street. My friend followed the young woman to her home, picked up the dog and its vaccination record. I had moved into a new apartment and was thinking about adopting a dog. After I made a budget and determined that I could financially and personally afford the time and money to be a dog parent, I agreed to take the young woman’s dog. I took a big risk, but luckily my situation worked out. I enjoyed Kasha and afforded her care for 14 years before she died.
I miss my dog, but I also appreciate the return of my disposable income and time. The annual cost of dog ownership is between $1,000 and $2,000 annually, according to the ASPCA.
Spay and neuter programs certainly help reduce the dog population. Municipal ordinances that limit the number of dogs per house are also effective.
The city of Niagara Falls has such an ordinance. 701.09 limits the number of dogs and cats. “It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, care for, have custody of or knowingly permit at any time, more than three (3) dogs and/or cats, nor more than two (2) of which may be dogs, in any residence or apartment in the City, excluding properly licensed animal shelters; animal hospitals and clinics; grooming parlors; obedience schools and boarding or breeding kennels. (Adopted 11/13/84)
The Niagara County SPCA Local Business Sponsorship Program invites local businesses to sponsor the adoption fees for the Pet of the Week. These are good initiatives, but they are not enough.
Inflation has affected every facet of living expenses for humans and furry friends. Rising costs of food and rent leave some pet owners with a difficult and unwelcomed choice. The Niagara County SPCA accepts donations, which helps curb food costs. If dog food affordability is the problem, our local SPCA may be able to assist with a bag or a few cans of dog food. It could make the difference between a pet owner keeping a friend, waiting to be placed on the surrender list or resulting in a “forced” stray.
The Niagara County SPCA struggle is real and so is the struggle of Niagarans. Community outreach, donations and volunteerism can only do so much. The Niagara County SPCA needs people to adopt. People may be willing to adopt, but are they able?

Sophomore cornerback Cobee Bryant has been named Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week after his game-sealing, 86-yard interception return for a touchdown in the Jayhawks' 55-42 overtime win over West Virginia in Morgantown on Saturday.
The play came after West Virginia’s redshirt-junior wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton had collected 11 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns.
However, in overtime with the game on the line, Bryant made the biggest play of the game. Bryant jumped in front of Ford-Wheaton’s out route, picked the ball off in stride, and ran all the way down the sideline to the end zone. The play ended the game, sealing the Jayhawks' 2-0 record.
In addition to the interception, Bryant also collected four tackles and a pass break-up in the award-winning performance.
The play is Bryant’s 2nd touchdown of the year, as he picked up a blocked field goal and took it the distance in the opening game versus Tennessee Tech.
Bryant is not a stranger to big plays in Big 12 road games. He had a 31-yard interception return for a touchdown in the win over Texas in Austin last year for the Jayhawks.
Bryant is now the second Jayhawk to win Big 12 defensive player of the week this season, as redshirt-junior defensive end Lonnie Phelps won the award after the win over Tennessee Tech.
The Jayhawk defense looks to continue making improvements in their next game against Houston on Saturday at 3 p.m. | https://www.kansan.com/sports/cobee-bryant-named-big-12-defensive-player-of-the-week/article_30dacc8e-32e1-11ed-8823-33818302ab1e.html | 2022-09-13T04:56:31Z | kansan.com | control | https://www.kansan.com/sports/cobee-bryant-named-big-12-defensive-player-of-the-week/article_30dacc8e-32e1-11ed-8823-33818302ab1e.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The selectors have played it safe while picking the Indian cricket team for the forthcoming Twenty20 World Cup. The selections have been largely on expected lines with the sole surprise being the inclusion of Deepak Hooda in the final 15.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma had indicated that there won’t be any major change in the squad after his team suffered its second successive defeat in the Super 4 stage of the just-concluded Asia Cup where the Men in Blue failed to make it to the final.
The India batting is heavily reliant on the top three consisting of Rohit, K L Rahul and Virat Kohli. Despite his poor form, Rahul has been retained since the think tank feels the classy batter is the ideal choice to partner Rohit up front. Rahul has the technique and range of strokes to succeed on the bouncy Australian tracks.
Kohli has roared back to form with a fine display in the Asia Cup. This could well be the final hurry for both Kohli and Rohit as far as the T20 World Cup is concerned.
Suryakumar Yadav is the automatic No. 4. The Mumbaikar is a 360-degree player and can get going from the first ball.
The selectors have kept their faith in Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik as wicketkeeper-batters. His struggles in the shortest version of the game notwithstanding, Pant is a big-match player. He has the shots and confidence to win a game single-handedly. Being the lone southpaw in the Indian top six also worked to his advantage.
At 37, Karthik has realised his dream of getting picked for the showpiece event. Karthik is the designated finisher for Team India and has loads of experience. It’s up to the team management to include him in the playing XI to make use of his skills.
Hooda being preferred over both Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer has been a surprise. The fact that he could roll his arm over if needed, proved to be the clincher. It remains to be seen whether Hooda gets a chance to play.
Unlucky Sanju
Sanju can consider himself unlucky to have missed the bus. The Kerala stumper-batter had an excellent IPL 2022 and shone in the few chances he got in national colours recently. His strokeplay would have been a big plus Down Under. Also, Sanju could well have been used as a floater in the line-up.
Iyer on the other hand has been kept on the reserves’ list. He could get a chance if any of the batters get injured.
As expected, Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel are the all-rounders. How Pandya fares, especially with the ball, will have a huge bearing on how far the team progresses in the tournament. Needless to say, India will need his power-hitting at the death.
Axar was an automatic choice once Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out after undergoing a knee surgery. Axar is a wily left-arm spinner, a safe fielder, and can play the big shots. But the big question is how effective will he be in Australia. It’s safe to say Jadeja will be sorely missed.
Leggie Yuzvendra Chahal and offie R Ashwin form a potent spin pair. Chahal is a wicket-taker and he will be crucial on the big Australian grounds. Ashwin, just like Karthik, will be eager to contribute and justify his selection. Ashwin can also chip in with the bat, but his fielding could hurt India at times.
Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and T20 specialist Harshal Patel are back from injuries. Patel’s clever variations and batting abilities meant he edged out the experienced Mohammed Shami who has been picked as a standby.
The seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar and rookie left-armer Arshdeep Singh complete the pace bowling department. Bhuvneshwar is expected to bowl the bulk of his overs in the Powerplay, while Arshdeep is the death-over specialist.
Leggie Ravi Bishnoi and swing bowler Deepak Chahar are the other reserves in addition to Iyer and Shami. Bhuvneshwar, Arshdeep and Pandya will be reporting to the National Cricket Academy for ‘conditioning-related’ work and miss the Australia and South Africa series. The reserves could well find themselves boarding the flight to Australia.
Overall the selectors have done a fair job, especially keeping in mind these players had turned out in the majority of the games in the recent past. Whether this team will make it to the business end of the competition is a different topic altogether. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/cricket/2022/09/13/analysis-t20-world-cup-squad-indian-selectors-play-it-safe.html | 2022-09-13T05:08:59Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/cricket/2022/09/13/analysis-t20-world-cup-squad-indian-selectors-play-it-safe.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Lindsey Graham to propose new national abortion restrictions bill
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will announce an updated bill on national abortion restrictions Tuesday.
Driving the news: That's according to an email from Graham's office on Monday night saying he will hold a press conference on the introduction of the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act with anti-abortion leaders.
- Graham has previously introduced bills that sought to ban abortions nationally from 20 weeks. But the new measure is expected to call for a ban from 15 weeks, per the Washington Post. Representatives for Graham did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment on the matter.
The big picture: Graham's plan comes less than two months out from the midterm elections, with abortion expected to be an important issue for voters following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade.
- Republican candidates across the U.S. have moved to disappear hardline anti-abortion stances they took during their primaries, particularly in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Arizona and North Carolina.
Thought bubble, via Axios' Andrew Solender: Graham's bill is designed to present Republicans as being more mainstream on abortion by pushing a partial ban over either a full ban or what they characterize as Democrats' "abortion on-demand" position. | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/13/lindsey-graham-national-abortion-restrictions-bill | 2022-09-13T05:09:29Z | axios.com | control | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/13/lindsey-graham-national-abortion-restrictions-bill | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
(WHBF) — After 28 years, Moline Police have brought some closure to the family and friends of a Moline man who has been missing since 1994.
At a 3:30 p.m. news conference Monday, Moline Police announced they have identified the remains of Steve Asplund, of Moline, who was 32 when he disappeared on Jan. 9, 1994.
He drove away …. and vanished
He left a friend’s Moline residence near 4th Street and 20th Avenue in his Ford Mustang and vanished.
He had gone to his friend’s house to borrow a caulking gun. At 7:30 p.m. he left for home, which was close by.
He never made it home. When he hadn’t shown up by 6 a.m. the next day, his fiancée reported him missing to Moline Police.
His 1987 Ford Mustang was found abandoned in a parking lot at the 13th Street landing at the base of the Interstate 74 Bridge in Bettendorf. Evidence gathered from the car was inconclusive.
In August of 1994, Steve’s medical insurance card was found on the rail of a foot bridge at Loud Thunder Forest Preserve in Rock Island County. Officers searched the river below for his body but found nothing related to the case.
At the time, police said they thought the card could have been placed there deliberately, possibly by someone who found it somewhere. On the other hand, it may have been lost before Steve disappeared, and may not have any connection to his disappearance.
For many years, police tried to find a man with a beard who was a possible witness. The man was described as having a tattoo of the letters “HR” on the back of his left hand, and he wore a Green Bay Packers jacket.
That person was identified by police in 2014 but his identity never was not publicized.
Steve worked for a Quad-City tool-and-die maker at the time of his disappearance. From the beginning, law enforcement and Steve’s family thought foul play was involved.
Through the years, Steve’s credit cards had not been used, and no money was withdrawn from his bank account.
A plea in 2018
In 2018, Moline Police asked for help from the community in a news release:
On January 11, Steve’s vehicle a red Ford Mustang was found unoccupied near the base of Interstate 74 Bridge in Bettendorf.
It has been 24 years since anyone saw or heard from Steve, who has seemingly vanished without a trace.
Over the course of the last few years, we have conducted advanced testing on items of evidence that wasn’t available in 1994 and are continuing to use the technological advances in science to pursue justice in this case. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/iowa-news/police-remains-of-iowa-man-missing-for-28-years-identified/ | 2022-09-13T05:09:33Z | siouxlandproud.com | control | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/iowa-news/police-remains-of-iowa-man-missing-for-28-years-identified/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

LOS ANGELES — At the 74th Primetime Emmys, Selma Blair was tapped to present the final award of the night, best drama series.
People stood as the actress walked out sporting a black-and-gold dress and cane. Blair presented the award to "Succession" who once again took the title for best drama.
“Succession” beat out competitors “Better Call Saul,” “Euphoria,” “Ozark,” “Severance,” “Squid Game,” “Stranger Things” and “Yellowjackets.”
The actress and recently announced “Dancing With the Stars” contestant has been public about her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, raising awareness with a 2019 intimate documentary directed by Rachel Fleit and this year’s memoir, “Mean Baby.”
In August 2021, Blair announced that she had been in remission from multiple sclerosis as a result of undergoing a stem cell transplant. She underwent hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation which uses stem cells derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood.
The actress, best known for her roles in movies such as “Cruel Intentions,” “Legally Blonde” and “Hellboy,” was diagnosed with the disease in 2018.
Blair said she had been experiencing symptoms for years before she was officially diagnosed.
“I’ve been carrying around some sort of chronic illness, either building up or had for a long time, so it wasn’t a surprise to me,” she said at the time. “Just the name was a surprise.”

By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE — Geno Smith threw two first-half touchdown passes, Denver fumbled twice at the 1-yard line in the second half, and the Seahawks beat the Broncos, 17-16, on Monday night in Russell Wilson’s return to Seattle.
Brandon McManus missed a 64-yard field-goal attempt with 20 seconds left and the Seahawks escaped with another wild victory involving Wilson at quarterback.
Except this time Wilson was the opponent and there will be plenty of questions about Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett’s late-game clock management and decisions in his first game.
Denver faced fourth-and-5 at the Seattle 46-yard line and had three timeouts left, but the Broncos ran significant time off the clock before Hackett called timeout and decided to have McManus try the long field goal. The kick missed and instead of Wilson leading the 36th career fourth-quarter or overtime comeback of his career, the Seahawks celebrated to chants of “Geno! Geno!”
“I was surprised that they took Russ out there,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.
Smith and the Seahawks did very little offensively in the second half but their first half was good enough. Smith threw a touchdown pass of 38 yards to Will Dissly on the first possession of the season and hit Colby Parkinson for a 25-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
Smith finished 23 of 28 for 195 yards, but he was 17 of 18 for 164 yards in the first half.
“For him to go out there and get a win like that shows the confidence we have in him,” Seattle wide receiver DK Metcalf said.
Wilson was 29 of 42 for 340 yards and a touchdown. But Denver couldn’t overcome its red-zone inefficiency with both Melvin Gordon III and Javonte Williams fumbling on plays snapped at the Seattle 1-yard line.
The Seahawks moved into first place in the NFC West after Arizona, San Francisco and the Rams all lost their openers.
Wilson spent the first 10 seasons of his career in Seattle. He went from being a disputed third-round pick to a franchise cornerstone that helped Seattle to its only Super Bowl title.
But his departure this past offseason in a trade to Denver was a messy conclusion to a mostly sparkling career with the Seahawks.
And Seattle fans were ready to let Wilson find out just what it was like to be an opposing quarterback at the stadium where he enjoyed so many triumphs.
“Just going out there and seeing him in a Broncos jersey was shocking to me,” Metcalf said.
Wilson was greeted with lustful, guttural boos every time he stepped on the field from a crowd notorious for making noise. They started in pregame warmups and didn’t decrease in volume throughout the victory.
Some signs in the stadium compared Wilson to Alex Rodriguez, who infamously left for a massive contract in Texas early in his baseball career. Others switched around the words from a catchphrase during his time in Seattle, urging the Seahawks, “Let’s Cook Russ.”
Wilson and the Broncos had plenty of chances to silence the crowd.
Denver ran eight plays inside the Seattle 12 in the third quarter and came away with zero points after the two fumbles.
The Broncos had three more plays inside the Seattle 10 midway through the fourth quarter and still couldn’t find the end zone. Denver reached the 3-yard-line but its third false start of the game moved Wilson back to the 8 and he was incomplete on his next two throws. McManus’ 26-yard field goal with 6:13 left pulled the Broncos within 17-16.
INJURIES
Seattle safety Jamal Adams suffered what appeared to be a significant left knee injury in the first quarter. Adams limped off the field after nearly sacking Wilson and eventually was driven away on a cart. He did not return.
Denver lost right guard Quinn Meinerz to a hamstring injury in the first half and cornerback K’Waun Williams to a hand injury in the fourth quarter.

SEATTLE — What a game indeed.
Despite entering the game as heavy underdogs, the Seattle Seahawks pulled off the improbable 17-16 win over Russell Wilson's Denver Broncos.
Seattle went scoreless in the second half, but did just enough defensively to ward off the visiting Broncos for the win on Monday Night Football.
Here are four takeaways from the Seahawks' big win to begin the season.
To boo or not to boo?
That is the question we (finally) got to answer Monday night after months of chatter about how the 12's would greet the former franchise quarterback.
So, yes, he was booed during the coin toss.
The home fans also booed the Broncos team when they ran on the field during pregame warmups because, well, they're guilty by association.
Not one, not two ... but three Seahawks red zone stops
Denver had three prime opportunities to score touchdowns and effectively put the Seahawks away but inexplicably failed each time.
Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon coughed up the football at the 1-yard line on a pair of trips to the end zone in the third quarter. Another promising drive resulted in just three points.
Call it a testament to the Seahawks' defense (yes) and also the Broncos' inability to capitalize on short-yardage situations.
If the Broncos had converted on these high-percentage opportunities, they'd have won the game by a comfortable margin. Instead, they'll head back to Denver with a 0-1 record.
Wilson vs. Geno
Let's call this a win for Wilson but Geno Smith looked like the more comfortable quarterback in the first half. And he was the winning quarterback, which ultimately means more than counting stats on a box score.
Smith completed his first 13 passes of the game as the Seahawks raced to a four-point lead at halftime. He finished with 195 passing yards and two passing touchdowns in the victory over his former teammate.
Wilson was more efficient and threw for more passing yards, though. But when the game was in its waning moments Wilson did not deliver, or, at least, wasn't allowed to even try. After a curious decision to burn over 20 seconds of time before calling a timeout, the Broncos opted to try for a 64-yard field goal instead of relying on Wilson to try for a first down. The 64-yard attempt would have been the second-longest conversion in league history.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement for a guy the team just signed to a massive $245 million contract extension.
Another Jamal Adams injury
This is the most significant long-term result of this game. Adams suffered a potentially serious knee injury while nearly corralling Wilson for a sack. The All-Pro safety needed to be carted off to the locker room.
There is no official timetable or diagnosis on his injury, but there is real fear he could miss significant time this season.
The Seahawks signed Adams to a four-year, $70 million extension in 2021 that guaranteed him at least $38 million. He's already missed nine games in two seasons because of shoulder, hand and finger injuries. | https://www.krem.com/article/sports/nfl/seahawks/seahawks-takeaways-four-observations-upset-win-over-russell-wilson-broncos/281-c09f57b1-7a9b-4697-acc0-a297fcb83680 | 2022-09-13T05:16:12Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/sports/nfl/seahawks/seahawks-takeaways-four-observations-upset-win-over-russell-wilson-broncos/281-c09f57b1-7a9b-4697-acc0-a297fcb83680 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Recall a few years ago when Phoebe Waller-Bridge, upon accepting her third Emmy of the night for Fleabag, said with a big, slightly embarrassed smile, “Now this is getting ridiculous!” The Emmys tend to go all in on their favorite shows—nearly the entire casts of Schitt’s Creek or Ted Lasso winning, or a multi-hyphenate like Waller-Bridge hitting the stage over and over again. In an era of too much TV, the Television Academy decided a while ago to settle on a few favorites and call it a day.
This doesn’t make for riveting TV. And it felt like the Emmys 2022 broadcast, hosted by an amiable Kenan Thompson, was more aware of this reality than usual, maybe, in both its production and its set of victors. To the latter point, there was no Crown-level sweep; the most acting trophies that any show won was two, in The White Lotus and Ted Lasso; while most of the shows that always win won again, including Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, one streak was finally broken when Lizzo’s freshman Prime Video hit Watch Out for the Big Grrrls dethroned four-time reality-competition champ RuPaul’s Drag Race. But the ceremony also moved at a weird clip. As if anticipating hearing the same walk-up music over and over again, as has happened in years past—will we ever get the Schitt’s Creek theme song out of our heads?—a newly installed DJ played a bizarre, often discordant collection of top 40 hits from the past to welcome winners to their big moment. Who could have anticipated Succession writer Jesse Armstrong claiming his latest Emmy amid “Shake Your Booty”?
The Emmys are always in some state of crisis; this year, they barely tried to hide it. Thompson’s America’s Best Dance Crew-esque opening number felt eerily out of date. There was an animated Simpson’s bit—talk about out of date—at the ceremony’s (non-bar) bar set that got recycled for bad jokes a few more times. Winners were played off more egregiously than usual; given too little time to bring on a translator, for the Squid Game winners, say, or in the case of Jennifer Coolidge, barely giving her a second before cranking the play-off music up. Fortunately, it was Coolidge running long, so effortlessly, brilliantly funny that she turned the poor production into the best bit of the night, complete with a bracing “I’m full” utterance and a delightful dance off the stage.
Thank God for the winners, indeed. They are why we watch awards shows and for the most part they delivered—a reminder that, even at the Emmys’ most redundant or sloppy, good TV can come out of giving actors shiny things. Sheryl Lee Ralph’s bracing win for comedy supporting-actress was a huge surprise in and of itself, but that had nothing on her astonishing speech—the best I’ve ever seen at the Emmys, and maybe any awards show. The speech crystallized what the Emmys—which at their best often honor the work of great actors too outside of what Hollywood deems mainstream to become movie stars—should be about. A veteran of show business, a certified legend of stage and screen, finally getting her big spotlight. You hear “never give up” from these types all the time; when Ralph said it, you couldn’t help but feel inspired.
There was Lizzo’s rousing big win, too, which smashed through the dullness settling in as the pop superstar cheered her show’s dancers on, with the kind of enthusiasm and joy you rarely see at these things. Jerrod Carmichael carries a bluntness when it comes to awards—which I first encountered in an interview with him this past spring—and as he won for variety-special writing, he once more proved so refreshingly candid. (Tonight’s money line: “I wanted to win. I’m happy that I won.”) Squid Game’s director Hwang Dong-hyuk spoke gorgeously and concisely about history being made in the room, and of carrying that momentum into inviting more non-English-language shows to the party. Michael Keaton won his first major industry award—how is that possible?—and spoke knowingly, winkingly, profanely of his career highs and lows. Mike White managed to be interesting for each of his three White Lotus wins, first tearfully honoring his father, then delivering a stellar Survivor metaphor (if you know, you know), and finally, awkwardly, somewhat sarcastically remembering to thank HBO. Jean Smart also did what every great repeat winner should do, ending her speech with a heck of a kicker: “Thank you for the Botox.”
These small moments are why we watch the Emmys. Maybe I’m feeling a little melancholic because the show as a whole felt like such a downer. Thompson disappeared, as hosts often do—but especially so, all but yielding the floor to announcer Sam Jay at the halfway point. The network promo also felt more egregious than usual, between all of the Peacock and La Brea and SNL alumni. For every thrilling Quinta Brunson writing win (Jimmy Kimmel nonsense aside), there was a repeat. It’s hard to argue with Smart and Zendaya and Julia Garner and Jason Sudeikis winning individually, but collectively, getting in the way of folks like Brunson, Melanie Lynskey, Rhea Seehorn, and the Only Murders duo leaves so little room for spontaneity and surprise on stage—the Sheryl Lee Ralph effect, if you will. There’s no freshness in the way the Academy assesses the TV landscape. | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/emmys-review-awards-insider-played-it-safe | 2022-09-13T05:24:47Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/emmys-review-awards-insider-played-it-safe | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Between Netflix’s subscriber woes and cost-cutting at Warner Bros. Discovery, it hasn’t been a particularly easy summer in Hollywood. But you wouldn’t know it watching the 74th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday night.
Sure, host Kenan Thompson snuck in a barb about Netflix—“in massive debt and desperate for money”—joining the cast of the next season of global breakout Squid Game. And Thompson’s Saturday Night Live colleague Bowen Yang joked that he was ready to fill in should Thompson “straight up disappear like a show on HBO Max.” But just as most awards pundits predicted, HBO and its sister streamer, HBO Max, steamrolled the competition, ending the night with 12 trophies thanks in large part to the performance of Emmy darling Succession and newcomer The White Lotus.
When factoring in the Creative Arts Emmys, which were handed out over Labor Day Weekend, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned networks took home even more trophies. A dominant Emmy season was almost guaranteed after they nabbed an industry-leading 140 nominations in July.
And though Netflix took home just three wins during the Emmys broadcast (behind Apple, with four wins for crowd-pleaser Ted Lasso) the streamer also had substantial victories at the Creative Arts Emmys for Squid Game and Stranger Things, among others. Perhaps more importantly, the first streamer to win an Emmy showed that, even amid some business stumbles, it can still make history when it nabbed two major wins for Squid Game, the Korean thriller that broke new ground for international shows at the Emmys.
Even broadcast television—which seemed to be creeping toward a slow demise since the advent of streaming—had a good night thanks to freshman breakout hit Abbott Elementary, which earned an acting award for veteran actress Sheryl Lee Ralph and a writing trophy for its creator and star, Quinta Brunson.
Though Hollywood spends millions on awards campaigns, it’s unclear how much correlation there is between a company’s ability to bring home a bit of hardware and its bottom line. But no executive will tell you they approve those big FYC budgets because they are hoping they will translate to bigger profits. Awards are really all about the clout—and if they help attract a few more viewers (or subscribers), that’s the cherry on top.
For Netflix, awards are all about proving its might to Hollywood, and burnishing its reputation among top-tier talent. That’s never been more important for the streamer, which got TV talent’s tongues wagging when it revealed plans to rein in content spending amid subscriber losses. At HBO, meanwhile, continued Emmy dominance shows that it can continue to compete against the deep-pocketed streamers, even as it sees a revolving door of cost-conscious owners. Jean Smart’s win for lead actress in HBO Max comedy series Hacks—her second in two years—also comes amid growing concern about the future of original programming for the streamer, which will be merged with Discovery+ next year. (Warner Bros. Discovery leadership, for what it’s worth, have said that both HBO and HBO Max will be “the centerpiece” of that new streaming service.)
Though HBO topper Casey Bloys recently locked down a new contract, there’s no better way to burnish his reputation with new boss David Zaslav than hearing his name on the lips of Emmy winner after Emmy winner. At least until he has to go through the awards gauntlet again next year.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC, an affiliate of Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP (collectively, and together with their affiliates in the credit-focused business of Blackstone Inc., "Blackstone Credit"), announced monthly distributions for the three listed closed-end funds it advises, Blackstone Senior Floating Rate Term Fund (NYSE: BSL), Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund (NYSE: BGX), and Blackstone Strategic Credit Fund (NYSE: BGB) (each a "Fund" and together the "Funds").
The Funds' monthly distributions are set forth below. The following dates apply to the distribution declarations for the Funds:
The Funds declare a set of monthly distributions each quarter in amounts closely tied to the respective Fund's recent average monthly net income. As a result, the monthly distribution amounts for the Funds typically vary quarter-to-quarter, and shareholders of any Fund should not expect that Fund to continue to pay distributions in the same amounts shown above. The dynamic distribution strategy provides Blackstone Credit with greater flexibility to maintain portfolio credit quality in varying market conditions. In addition, the dynamic distribution strategy reduces the need to retain reserves from net investment income to support the stability of future distributions.
A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net investment income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of these distributions will depend upon each Fund's investment experience during its fiscal year and will be made after the Fund's year end. Each Fund will send to investors a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will define how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

KAPOLEI, HAWAII (KITV4) - Kapolei Energy Storage is scheduled to begin operations on April 1, 2023 and provide electricity to more than 30,000 homes on Oahu.
Hawaiian Electric officials said customers will gradually see their electricity rates decline – by less than a dollar initially and more as further renewable energy projects become available.
"We have eight other renewable energy projects under construction or planned or Oahu. We really want to give confidence to customers that things are going to change and things will get better. They’re going to see that improvement in their electric bill," said Jim Kelly, spokesperson, Hawaiian Electric.
KES is the largest battery storage facility in Hawaii and officials said it is the largest step towards the 2045 clean energy goal.
"People on the mainland are looking to Hawaii and at this project Hawaiian Electric is procuring to go green. We have a cleaner, more modernized grid with great flexibility and more efficiency.” said Polly Shaw, head of policy and communication at Plus Power.
The new facility was also sited in west Oahu so it can connect to the substation as the coal plant did. Officials said when Kapolei Energy Storage kicks off in the spring, it will be everything the coals plant was and more.

HONOLULU (KITV4) -- The remaining face masks requirements on UH campuses and properties will be lifted on Saturday, September 17, 2022. Masks are currently required in classrooms, shared laboratory spaces and confined educational spaces in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 within our community.
UH based its new recommendation on the advice of medical and public health experts as well as the latest federal and state guidance.
“Wearing a mask continues to be a good option especially for people who have a compromised immune system because of an existing health condition or people who live with a grand parent and they want to take every possible to protect the people they love and care for,” says Brooks Baehr, Department of Health.
“It’s still important to be cautious for me personally I get together with my grandparents and we have big family gatherings often so, I still kind of by habit wear a mask,” says Kacie Kato, UH Sophomore.
And many say, the freedom of choice is important.
“I think it’s about time we had it removed. We’ve had it on for a long time and now the COVID-19 rates are going down so I think its time we remove the mask mandate,” says Lorey Takahashi, Ph.D. , UH Professor.
According to UH guidelines, masking is required for those who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or has contracted the virus. They must wear a mask for the duration of the 10-day isolation period. Someone who has been infected may return on day 6 if their symptoms are substantially improved and they have not had any fever in the preceding 24 hours.
The University says, they recognizes that the rate of COVID-19 community transmission is no longer disrupting daily life and that most of the infections that are still occurring are not life-threatening and are not resulting in hospitalizations. UH will continue to remain highly vigilant, and COVID-19 restrictions may be quickly reinstated, if conditions change and warrant stronger measures.

Law enforcement officials are scaling back a massive search for a missing 4-year-old boy in Yakima after scouring a park, a river and waterways, homes, businesses and trails by ground, air and water.
Officials with the Yakima Police Department and Yakima County Sheriff’s Office said Monday night that they will continue to have staff dedicated to the effort and are now asking the public to participate.
Lucian Munguia went missing at Sarg Hubbard Park near the Yakima River around 7:15 p.m. Saturday. After searching for 15 minutes, his family called police, and authorities mounted a major search effort in the park, river and nearby areas.
“We continue to assign personnel to this effort and sincerely pray for a positive outcome,” a news release from YPD Chief Matt Murray and Yakima County Sheriff Bob Udell said. “We ask that you continue to keep Lucian’s family in your thoughts. This is an unimaginably painful situation.”
The search led by the Yakima County sheriff’s search and rescue team has involved more than 150 people, with crews from Pierce, King, Spokane, Kittitas and Klickitat counties, Moses Lake and Gleed fire and the U.S. Air Force. Searchers have used 15 search dogs, ATVs, boats, kayaks, drones, underwater drones, dive teams and a helicopter.
The officials said they are now scaling back the assistance from around the state and the search and rescue team.
Detectives established that the boy left the playground alone and headed south and east, the release said.
“Unfortunately, there is a fast-flowing river, a pond, and a deep lake in that direction,” the release said. “Underwater drones and divers checked both bodies of water with negative results.”
Detectives went to nearby homes and businesses for video, searched homeless encampments with permission and interviewed people in the area. There was no indication of foul play.
Lucian is autistic, YPD spokeswoman Yvette Inzunza said.
Searchers are still hopeful that Lucian will be found alive, she said Monday afternoon.
YPD Capt. Jay Seely said an Air Force contingent from Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane helped with the search, and searchers deployed a submersible drone inside the pond at Sarg Hubbard Park, while aerial drones have searched the area. The search was tracked by GPS, and conducted again to make sure nothing was missed, the release said.
Along with the Yakima River, there are two ponds in and by the park. The search area was expanded Monday, Seely said, and teams checked L.L. Buchanan Lake, a flooded gravel pit.
Lucian was last seen wearing blue shorts and a blue shirt with a shark on it, according to authorities.
The joint news release said the next phase of the operation involves the public’s help. People are asked to notify police immediately if they find Lucian or a clue to his location. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/officials-scale-back-massive-effort-to-find-missing-boy-in-yakima-but-arent-giving-up/article_6d98e5f8-3312-11ed-b8ef-c3ebe6df2f65.html | 2022-09-13T05:53:52Z | yakimaherald.com | control | https://www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/officials-scale-back-massive-effort-to-find-missing-boy-in-yakima-but-arent-giving-up/article_6d98e5f8-3312-11ed-b8ef-c3ebe6df2f65.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Inside Ekiti school where pupils, teachers run for cover whenever it rains
•Renovation already awarded to contractor —Govt
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Law provides that education in a conducive and attractive environment should be the fundamental rights of every child. YOMI AYELESO, reports that this right is not available for pupils of St Thomas Catholic Nursery and Primary School, Odo Oro-Ekiti in Ikole local government area of Ekiti state as the three blocks of classrooms have been in a deplorable state for years.
“You can see the state of the buildings in our school and if you come here whenever there is rainfall, you will pity the pupils and the teachers. We will have to move the children to nearby houses for cover because the roofs in the classes are leaking and everywhere will be flooded, of course, that will be end of any form of academic exercise for the day.”
These was the revelation of the head teacher of St Thomas Catholic Nursery and Primary School Odo Oro-Ekiti , Chief Idowu Adeyemi when he summed up the harrowing and unpleasant experience of pupils attending the school due to the dilapidated and horrible state of the only three blocks of classrooms visible in the school.
The school founded in 1954, as of the 2021/2022 academic session, had a population of 242 pupils with 10 staff members who explained that they are facing serious challenges, which have made learning extremely difficult for pupils, especially due to the roof of the buildings that had been blown off .
According to the people in the community, the disturbing situation has, in no small measure, affected the fortune of the school especially in the area of enrolment due to continuous neglect, alleging that efforts by stakeholders in the community to draw attention of the state government to the problem have not been successful.
Nigerian Tribune findings show that parents and guardians have been withdrawing their wards to other schools especially privately-owned primary schools in the area. Aside the reduction in number of enrolment, the pupils have also faced difficulties in meeting up with their colleagues in other schools academically as the school management, due to the shortfalls, is forced to combine at least three classes in one classroom, using what it described as a multi-grade teaching method.
And according to the people, the situation in St Thomas Catholic Nursery and Primary School is contrary to the state government’s claim that enrolment in public primary school increased from 106,271 in 2018 to 141,982 in 2021, adding that more need to be done in protecting public schools in the state from facing further neglect especially those in the rural communities.
Speaking further on the condition of the school, the head teacher explained that the school was left with no other option than to put the pupils in the classrooms regardless of their grades just to accommodate them in the school, commending the old students association under the leadership of Prince Segun Okunoye for renovating a block of three classrooms which was recently delivered to the school, adding that chairs and tables are needed for them to use the renovated classrooms.
“I must confess to you that it is not convenient for us teaching these pupils because of lack of conducive classrooms. In fact, what we have been doing is multi-grade teaching, which is the combination of two or more classes of pupils in the same classroom; you should know how difficult that could be.
“We have a total population of 242 pupils as of last session with 10 staff but our condition is not palatable here. We have made several efforts to government through SUBEB but nothing has happened over the years; they only come to mark the buildings for possible renovation and we won’t see them,” she added.
The state government recently approved the establishment of a Model College in the community as part of measures to offer the the children quality and affordable education. However, the traditional ruler, parents of pupils and the entire community are clamoring for urgent attention for the primary school in the interest of the children who were being made to face excruciating condition in their quest to acquire basic education over the years.
We need urgent Govt attention in the school – traditional ruler
The Onise of Odo Oro-Ekiti, Oba Babatunde Jemilehin, who lamented the unpleasant experience of the pupils due to the deplorable classrooms especially during rainy season, said solid and conducive infrastructures remain one of the indices in measuring the standard of education in any society.
While commending the old students for the timely gesture of renovating the block of classrooms as the pupils resume for the new academic session, the traditional ruler reiterated the need for the state government to act fast in giving the pupils a befitting and conducive learning environment.
“The buildings in the primary school have been dilapidated for a long while. That has been a source of concern to the school management and me, as the traditional ruler of the town and the generality of the Odo Oro Ekiti indigenes. The harrowing experience of the pupils and the effects on their psychology as they visit other schools with good structures cannot be overemphasised. Their teachers too are not left out in the trauma of teaching drenched pupils whenever it rains. It is in the spirit of this understanding that I am making this passionate appeal to the government to come to the aid of our primary schools in Odo Oro Ekiti.
“Now that the pupils are resuming, one can therefore imagine what the feelings will be as some pupils will be housed in the newly renovated block of classrooms, while the others will be allotted classes in the old dilapidated blocks. The government should act fast. This is our Macedonia call on the state government: please come to Odo Oro Ekiti and help our primary schools,” he said.
Govt has neglected us – PTA chairman
The chairman of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Chief Ayodele Ogunleye expressed regret that previous moves by the association to draw government’s attention to the bad condition of buildings in the school had been unsuccessful, adding that there was nothing the parents could do.
“We have to commend the old students who just renovated a block but the remaining ones are in a bad situation. As parents, at times when there is rain, we will nearly be crying seeing what our children are passing through in their classrooms, they will be drenched and we are not comfortable with it,” Ogunleye said.
Asked whether the parents attempted to gather resources and renovate the buildings, the PTA chairman added, “ you should know that is not possible because we are poor people and that is why you still see our children in the school even in the face of the terrible situation, we don’t have the money to do it or even send them to private school.”
Govt renovating the school will encourage pupils to learn – Alumni
The coordinator of the Old Students Association, Segun Okunoye said the state government should consider the future of the pupils who were being exposed to difficult environment in acquiring basic education, which he said is key in anyone’s life.
“Our passionate appeal to the state government is to assist, and very urgently too, in renovating the remaining buildings in the school because doing that will encourage the pupils to learn more and fast and also boost the morale of the teachers of this school,” said Okunoye.
He added: “We are very mindful of the feelings the renovated block of classrooms will have on the students, who will be allotted classes in the block on one hand, and their counterparts, who will be retained in the old structures. This is the more reason why our call for the immediate intervention of the state government and other relevant agencies becomes very imperative. It is therefore on that note that we want to call on the state government, the State Universal Primary Education Board and other governmental agencies that are stakeholders in the administration of primary school education, to urgently come and assist in renovating the remaining buildings in this school,” he stated.
Renovation work awarded to contractor – Govt
The government, through the Education Secretary in the local government, Remi Oguntuase, while sympathising with parents, pupils and teachers of the school over the poor condition of the buildings, revealed that the contract for the renovation had been awarded by SUBEB, adding that government was aware of the state of the classrooms in the school. He assured parents and other stakeholders in the community that the contractor would soon commence work on the buildings.
“It is a pitiable situation no doubt, but I can tell you that the chairman of SUBEB, Professor Femi Akinwumi is so much interested in the renovation of this school and it has been awarded but we are waiting for the contractor to resume work. We have completed 2018 project year and currently on the 2020/2021 and 2022 project cycle will start soon. The action plan has been drawn and some of these schools were captured. We are hopeful that the projects will start soon even before the expiration of tenure of the present administration on October 16,” he said.
As the pupils resume for the start of the new 2022/2023 academic session, the community is hoping that government would make renovating the school and others a priority by quickly mobilising the contractor to site.

A group of Professionals under the auspices of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB), has tasked public institutions and relevant professional bodies to, as a matter of urgency, pursue the implementation of Executive Order 11 to arrest the fast deterioration of public assets in the country.
Besides, states and other tiers of government were urged by the professionals to domesticate Executive Order 11 in their respective jurisdictions for the maintenance of public assets, while individuals and private sector entities should prioritise and practicalise the maintenance of their assets.
These are some of the outcomes of the 52nd Builders’ Conference/Annual General Meeting, held in Akure, Ondo State, recently.
Themed: “The Role of the Building Profession in the Maintenance of National Assets”, major addresses at the conference were presented by the Special Guest of Honour, the Governor of Ondo State, OluwarotimiAkeredolu (SAN); President of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB), Professor Y. D. Izam; and Chairman of the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON), Dr. Samson Opaluwah and others.
The conference pointed out that Executive Order 11 remained a precursor to the National Building Maintenance Policy giving legal backing for the structure and operationalisation of the policy for the maintenance of public buildings
Besides, stakeholders at the conference noted that building assets, if well maintained, would reflect in Nigeria’s cities, hence its sustainability.
Presently, they noted the nation’s assets’ maintenance was unplanned and the culture not preventive.
They explained that poor maintenance culture was responsible for the decay and dilapidation of public and private buildings in Nigeria, thereby resulting in inconveniences on the part of the users, economic losses, a bad reputation, and a bad image for the built-environment and the country, at large;
Shortage of skilled workforce, they noted reflected on the quality and state of maintenance of buildings across all the sectors of the Nigerian economy;
The conference identified client attitude, poor financial support system, unspecified materials strength; poor design, and use of sub-standard materials, among others as
critical factors affecting the performance of maintenance management of assets in Nigeria.
As ways out and in order to achieve an effective maintenance culture, stakeholders were urged to focus on establishing an enabling environment, functional organisational structure, occupational standards, and competency of personnel, which will translate into sustainable assets management in the country;
Registered builders and other relevant professionals – (registered architects and registered engineers as required in the Nigerian National Building Code) were also urged to ensure the preparation of sound maintenance manuals that will serve as a guide for effective maintenance management of buildings.
“Built environment stakeholders should collaborate in addressing challenges affecting the performance of maintenance management practices in the country, as this will engender standardisation and quality of built assets;
“Government agencies should put in place machinery for preventive maintenance practices in line with the provisions of Executive Order 11.
“Builders-in-academia at the AGM should cascade the discourse to other members and students, and be instrumental in the framework for maintenance while drafting practice notes for the profession and relevant publications for the benefit of the profession and the larger society, be made in collaboration with NIOB and CORBON,” communique from the conference read.
The conference tasked built-environment professionals to collaborate to ensure the effective maintenance of public assets, while professional builders should fortify themselves with the maintenance manual, urging artisans to take into cognisance the National Skills Qualification (NSQ) framework and the National Occupation Standard (NOS) for the necessary stages of maintenance of private and public buildings for sustainable development of the sector.

Mr Abiodun Lawal, an associate member of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers, is the Managing Director, Biodun Lawal Consulting. In this interview with DAYO AYEYEMI, the professional speaks on the potential inherent in title’s perfection and the processes homeowners or developers must go through to secure their real estate investments.
Can we know what informed your decision about perfection of title?
What informed my decision to specialise in perfection of title was that most estate surveyors and valuers are not into this area of our practice. Perfection of title has to do with documentations, getting a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) for your land or registering a Deed of Assignment or doing your ratification, just to get title.
Why is perfection of title so important to land owners or home builders?
Any development on land has to agree with the Land Use Decree of 1978. This land’s law is the guiding instrument laying emphasis on the perfection of title. There are sections of the law that say before you can carry out any development on land, you must seek the consent of the governor. This means that for the transaction to be binding, you must have a valid title. Everybody believes that once you have a valid title, I mean title that is registered, that confers ownership on you. So the C of O is a registered title that confers ownership of land on the holder. Deed of Assignment that is registered via Consent also confers ownership on the holder. There are lands, probably that are not free and the government gives you option to rectify. So we call that ratification. It is like C of O too. It confers ownership.
Do you agree that only five per cent of land in Nigeria is registered?
Before now I agreed with that assertion, but now the percentage has increased. Before now there was not much awareness on perfection of title, but now with much awareness, there has been much improvement. Before now the processes of getting C of O, especially in Lagos State, were slowed. However, when the 30-day consent was introduced, that is when you filed in your applications, you have 30 days to get your documentand the processes received a boost. The 30 -day consent was used as an advert to get people on board and people were really sensitised. This awareness increased people’s participation in perfection of their title. Now we have more than five percent registered titles.
What is the potential in the perfection of title to estate surveying practitioners?
It provides self-employment for them. As you can see, I am able to be gainfully employed after being equipped with the necessary instrument. At times, when you talk in the public, you talk as a professional in the perfection of title and people are willing to listen and buy your ideas. Apart from this, it helps to increase your clients’ base. When you have clients that are giving you jobs and you are delivering, definitely you gain their respect. Whenever we are having sale’s transaction, if you are equipped with the knowledge of perfection of title as an estate surveyor and valuer, when you talk, they know you know what you are doing. There are so many potential even for upcoming professionals.
What do a homeowner stands to lose if he does not perfect his title?
Let me cite Lagos as an example; when land grabbers know that you have a registered title, they don’t harass you. Before they come to you they have to think twice. So there is security. When you have a title that is valid, that is security on the land. Then, for mortgage purposes, if a bank wants to give you loan, either for business or whatsoever, you must have a registered title on the land. If you are the owner of a land, it has to be registered before bank can grant such loans. If you register the land and it is verifiable at the Land Registry without encumberance, you get the loan. However, if there is any encumberance, bank won’t give you the loan.
What is your advice to the real estate developers?
For a developer that is willing to invest in land anywhere in the country, the first thing to do after getting the land is to confirm the status of the land. If somebody wants you to develop his land for him, you must confirm any instrument he gives you, most especially the title. He may give you a survey plan of the land; you have to confirm the survey plan of the land by going to the ministry. There are some dubious people that won’t give you the full coordinates of the land. The best thing to do is to visit the Survey Department and get a land surveyor to check the actual coordinates of the land. The coordinates will now be charted to know the status of the land. If you are sure of this, you now demand for the title of the land and conduct your search at Land Registry. Once you are satisfied, you can proceed with the development.

The man who shot and killed John Lennon outside his Manhattan apartment building in 1980 has been denied parole for a 12th time, New York corrections officials said Monday.
Mark David Chapman, 67, appeared before a parole board at the end of August, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
Chapman shot and killed Lennon on the night of Dec. 8, 1980, as Lennon and Yoko Ono were returning to their Upper West Side apartment. Lennon had signed an autograph for Chapman on a copy of his recently released album, “Double Fantasy,” earlier that day.
State officials have yet to make transcripts of Chapman’s latest board interview available, but he has repeatedly expressed remorse in previous parole hearings. Chapman called his actions “despicable” during his hearing in 2020, and said he would have “no complaint whatsoever” if they chose to leave him in prison for the rest of his life.
“I assassinated him … because he was very, very, very famous and that’s the only reason and I was very, very, very, very much seeking self-glory. Very selfish,” Chapman said then.
Chapman is serving a 20-years-to-life sentence at Green Haven Correctional Facility, north of New York City, according to online state corrections records.
He is next due to appear before the parole board in February 2024. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/13/mark-david-chapman-denied-parole-for-12th-time-for-killing-john-lennon/ | 2022-09-13T06:37:29Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/13/mark-david-chapman-denied-parole-for-12th-time-for-killing-john-lennon/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Nearly half of the country's governors have signed off on a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to withdraw his student loan forgiveness plan that would cancel up to $20,000 for federal aid borrowers.
"As governors, we support making higher education more affordable and accessible for students in our states, but we fundamentally oppose your plan to force American taxpayers to pay off the student loan debt of an elite few..." the governors said in a letter dated Monday.
The governors, all Republicans, argue that the lowest income Americans will be paying the debts of doctors, lawyers and professors "with the most debt, such as $50,000 or more..."
Though, Biden's plan caps relief at $20,000 for those who received Pell grants – awarded to low-income students – and $10,000 for students who did not get Pell grants in college. Additionally, individuals who make more than $125,000 are not eligible for the one-time relief.
"College may not be the right decision for every American, but for the students who took out loans, it was their decision: able adults and willing borrowers who knowingly agreed to the terms of the loan and consented to taking on debt in exchange for taking classes," the letter states. "A high-cost degree is not the key to unlocking the American Dream—hard work and personal responsibility is."
It further argues that it is unfair to those who previously already paid off their student loans.
The governors also expressed concern that the forgiveness plan could encourage higher education institutions to drive up their costs, and therefore worsen inflation.
"Rather than addressing the rising cost of tuition for higher education or working to lower interest rates for student loans, your plan kicks the can down the road and makes today's problems worse for tomorrow's students."
U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona told NPR in August the forgiveness plan was birthed largely from a way to undo the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and will boost the economy as a result.
"Everyone knows someone that's struggling post pandemic," he said. "And, you know, if we help folks in the communities so that they - reduce the chances of them going into default, everybody wins. It helps the economy."
The letter is signed by 22 Republican governors, including:
The governors are also challenging Biden's power to go through with the plan, saying "As president, you lack the authority to wield unilateral action to usher in a sweeping student loan cancellation plan."
In seven states, the forgiveness payments could be taxed as income.

Thiruvananthapuram: The dogs born on the streets during COVID lockdown times without human interaction have become very aggressive creating so much trouble in the State, say experts.
Experts from the Animal husbandry department and Veterinary Universities expressed this opinion during the high-level meeting convened by the Government to discuss a solution to the severe stray dog menace.
During COVID times, hundreds of stray dogs were born in different parts of the State and grew up feeding on the food thrown in open places.
The experts pointed out that the behaviour of creating territories and attacking those entering their particular territory is the most in these dogs.
Dogs jump in front of the bike, Rider gets injured
Malappuram: A bike rider fell down and injured himself as he was trying to swerve the bike when a pack of stray dogs jumped in front of the bike.
Malappuram Manimoolivarakkulam Kattamkottil Sunil Chacko (42) sustained injuries on his ribs and above his right elbow.
The incident happened around 11 30 yesterday morning.
The dog that bit the tribal boy may be rabid
Agali: The tribal boy, who was attacked by a stray dog, may have been bitten by a rabid dog. The dog that bit the boy was found dead later and a postmortem was conducted to confirm rabies symptoms.
After biting the boy, the dog was found dead. The dog’s remains were taken to Palakkad and a post-mortem was conducted by the Veterinary department, confirming rabies symptoms in the dog.
The boy, who has suffered more than one bite injury on his face, is under observation at the Kottathara Tribal Specialty Hospital. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/13/dogs-born-during-covid-lockdown-more-aggressive.amp.html | 2022-09-13T06:40:21Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/13/dogs-born-during-covid-lockdown-more-aggressive.amp.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Palakkad: Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan visited tribal youth Madhu’s house in Attappdy with Onakkodi (new clothes gifted during Onam) for his mother and sister. Madhu was killed in a mob lynching incident in 2018.
Madhu’s mother Malli, sisters Sarasu and Chandrika welcomed the Governor who reached Chindakki Pazhayur house with teary eyes.
Malli said they lived in fear as the family received constant threats from the accused in the case. “There is no way to even call up and inform the police if someone comes to attack us as there is no network connectivity inside our house or the premise,” the family members told the Governor.
The Government is not paying the Public Prosecutor the fees and the accused are trying to sabotage the case, the family alleged.
The Governor expressed hope that Madhu’s family is served justice and sympathised with the pain of his mother and sister. He said the family has been told to give their demands in writing.
“The Governor’s visit gives a boost to our fight for justice,” Madhu's sister Sarasu said after the visit. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/13/madhu-mother-sister-onakkodi-governor.html | 2022-09-13T06:41:42Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/13/madhu-mother-sister-onakkodi-governor.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Things got out of control in a hurry on Marquette men’s soccer on Monday night as the goals by Wisconsin came in a hurry as MU took a 4-2 loss out in Madison. The loss drops the Golden Eagles to 3-2-0 on the season and snaps a three match winning streak.
Less than 41 minutes in, Mitrar Mitrovic rammed home a Ben Barkley feed to put Marquette up 1-0. Literally nothing else went right for Marquette over the next 25 minutes. Less than two minutes later, Wisconsin tied it up on a goal by Mitchell Dryden, and so 1-1 was the score at intermission.

Onwards to the second half, where Wisconsin’s second shot of the period came off of a restart in the 49th minute, and that was a goal for Max Keenan.
Fantastic run and finish from Keenan to put Badgers up 2-1. pic.twitter.com/B60uudTUC4
— Wisconsin Soccer (@BadgerMSoccer) September 13, 2022
Keenan found the back of the net again in the 59th minute, and then he factored in again in the 63rd minute as Matt Chandler tallied off a corner kick.
4-1 Wisconsin, less than 30 minutes to go, oh, and Marquette didn’t have a shot in the second half yet.
Not much else to say there, y’know? To be transparent about it, I’m writing this as the match is still going on, and right this second it’s in the 78th minute and Edrey Caceres has scored to make it 4-2 in the 79th minute. If you look at the shots, this isn’t a wild out of control match, as the Badgers have a 13-8 edge.
Up Next: Coming up this weekend, Marquette does another “game/two days off/game” bit with both matches coming at home. First up is Yale on Saturday, followed by the renewal of the Milwaukee Cup against the crosstown Panthers next Tuesday. The Bulldogs are 2-0-2 at the moment and they won’t play again til this weekend, while Milwaukee is 1-3-1 with two contests coming along between now and the contest at Valley Fields. | https://www.anonymouseagle.com/2022/9/12/23350239/marquette-golden-eagles-mens-soccer-recap-wisconsin-badgers-mitrovic | 2022-09-13T06:47:45Z | anonymouseagle.com | control | https://www.anonymouseagle.com/2022/9/12/23350239/marquette-golden-eagles-mens-soccer-recap-wisconsin-badgers-mitrovic | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

It’s rare you hear somebody recommend Wikipedia as a formal source of information—well, publicly, at least—and especially not as a resource for travel planning. However, the web’s free encyclopedia offers detailed information on every major airport (and most minor ones) in the world. That info includes all the global destinations that can be reached directly from those airports and the airlines that can take you there. If you’re trying to map out optimal ways to use your frequent flier miles, this is especially pertinent.
In the meantime, the ITA Matrix software used by Google Flights rules when it comes to showing everywhere and anywhere in the world you can travel from a particular airport and for how much. With a click of a button (and a few tricks), you can populate an interactive destination map that shows you all your global options to help decide where to go next.
Together, Wikipedia and Google Flights are powerful travel planning tools if used properly. Here’s how to take advantage of both.
Wikipedia’s “Airlines and Destinations”
Every airport listed on Wikipedia includes a subheading, “Airlines and Destinations,” where you’ll discover which airlines serve the airport in question and which destinations can be reached directly from that airport. This may sound like elementary information, but it’s a great resource for those wanting to know nonstop flight options and possibilities for mileage redemptions.
Let’s clarify with some real-life examples. My nephew wants to tour the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi, and my sister wants to take him—ideally using miles. The closest airport to Oxford is Memphis International Airport (MEM). We live in South Florida, and my sister doesn’t do connecting flights.
I type in “Memphis airport” on Wikipedia’s home page. Once the page populates, I click on “Airlines and Destinations” from the Contents menu, which reveals a table with the airlines flying in and out of Memphis, plus all the cities with direct flights. To quickly find if there are any direct flights to/from Miami, I do a Control F Search for “Miami,” and I find that American Airlines/American Eagle and Frontier fly nonstop between Miami and Memphis. I do the same for “Fort Lauderdale” and see Allegiant Air will be the only option if she wants to fly from that city.
I now know there are three options I can present to her for cash tickets and only one for a possible points redemption—American Airlines—since the two other airlines don’t have loyalty programs. Next, I check AA’s website for mileage redemption rates and find them far superior to cash prices. I go a step further and explore mileage rates on AA through the program of oneworld partner airline British Airways. I find first-class tickets from Miami to Memphis for 15,000 British Airways Avios plus $5.60 in taxes (vs. cash price of ~$425) or economy-class tickets for 7,500 Avios plus $5.60 (vs. cash price of $200 plus on AA, Allegiant, or Frontier). I end up booking the first-class tickets.
As another example, a friend of mine has relocated to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to work for the State Department. She’s already trying to plan weekend getaways but doesn’t know where she can get quickly and easily from this small capital city. A quick search for “Tegucigalpa airport“ redirects to the page for Comayagua International Airport, and we see that she’s limited to a half-dozen airlines that fly in/out of the airport. Her choices for travel are limited to other cities in Central America and a few U.S. cities.
Wikipedia typically has the most up-to-date information on seasonal and upcoming flight routes
Wikipedia can also give insight into which routes are seasonal and which are currently suspended. Even better, within the same “Airlines and Destinations” section, you can discover new routes as soon as they are announced and exactly when they are set to commence. On the flip side, you can see which flight routes will end and when.
For example, a quick search conducted in late August 2022 of Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) reveals that American Airlines will start flying regularly to Bakersfield, California, in October 2022, Beijing, China, in March 2023, and seasonally to Auckland, New Zealand, in October 2022. The direct flight to Lima, Peru, will cease operations on November 3, 2022.
Because airlines often release mileage award seats on their new routes, this is valuable information to know. In fact, at the time of that search, economy tickets were widely available for 40,000 AA miles each way on the new route between Dallas and Auckland.
Using Google Flight’s ITA Matrix Software to the max
Matrix by ITA software powers Google Flights, where a simplified, user-friendly version of the software makes it easy for consumers to find the best fares. On Google Flights, you can type in your origin and destination and find the cheapest one-way, round-trip, and multi-city fares typically 330 days into the future. An interactive calendar allows you to explore date ranges and lowest fares by airport code, city, or nearby airport.
However, beyond searching specific flight routes, you can assess broader trip options and price them out with Google Flight’s interactive map. On the Google Flights home page, simply type your departure airport, but don’t fill in the arrival airport. Put in your desired dates and hit search. You will see where you can go during your desired dates and for how much. You can then filter by nonstop, airline, duration, and more. Move your mouse around the interactive map and discover destinations and prices across the globe. (Note: While almost every airline has been completely incorporated into the ITA software, Southwest Airlines and Allegiant Airlines have not, meaning that they will populate as options but tickets cannot be purchased directly through Google Flights.)
Let’s say you are based in New York City and want to go somewhere tropical and sunny for Valentine’s Day 2023 but don’t know where yet (and flight price is a factor you are considering). We enter February 10–14, 2023, from JFK and find plenty of options under $400, from St. Lucia to Miami to Providenciales, Turks & Caicos.
Maybe you also want to plan a trip to Europe this fall. You’ll go anywhere if the price is right and have total flexibility when it comes to dates at this point. Go for a broader search by typing in your departure airport, no arrival airport, and simply choose random dates within the next six months. Then on the right-hand-side below the dates field, click where it says, “Explore Destinations.”
This redirects to an interactive Google Flights map where you can explore flexible dates and date ranges (up to six months forward) and durations. Choose among a weekend trip, one week, or two weeks (though sometimes results add or subtract a day or two); then specify a month and voilà Google will reveal the cheapest options based on your search. For a search in late August for an approximately one-week trip in October 2022 from NYC, Google showed there was a round-trip flight to Oslo for as low as $333 and Barcelona for $435.
Barcelona is magical in October, so I clicked on Barcelona and saw the flight is round-trip on Iberia, nonstop leaving Monday, October 24, 2022, and returning Wednesday, November 2, 2022. Sold for $435!
Takeaways
By understanding and using the power of Google Flights and Wikipedia, you can figure out how to get where directly and cost-effectively and even map out trips around the world, connecting the dots in between. It may take a bit of practice, but soon you’ll find these are two of the most powerful travel planning tools available. | https://www.afar.com/magazine/how-to-use-google-flights-and-wikipedia-to-plan-your-next-trip | 2022-09-13T06:57:25Z | afar.com | control | https://www.afar.com/magazine/how-to-use-google-flights-and-wikipedia-to-plan-your-next-trip | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
HONG KONG, Sept, 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) ("Akeso"), a China-based biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and commercialization of innovative therapeutic antibodies for Oncology & Immunology, published encouraging preclinical results in poster featuring its Fc-mutant anti-TIGIT antibody fused with TGF-βRII protein (AK130) at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022.
AK130 is the first and only TIGIT/TGF-β dual-targeting antibody fusion protein and the first novel dual-targeting antibody fusion protein developed in-house by Akeso. The clinical trial application for AK130 was just accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) not long ago, demonstrating Akeso's ability to develop breakthrough drugs with complete independence and autonomy.
Details of the poster are as follows:
- Poster: AK130, a first-in-class Fc-mutant anti-TIGIT antibody fused with TGF-βRII protein, elicits potent anti-tumor efficacy in preclinical studies.
- Abstract: #486P
- Presenters: Jing Min, Vice President of Akeso
Although TIGIT is considered a promising immune checkpoint molecule, the single-agent efficacy of anti-TIGIT therapy is limited. AK130, a novel anti-TIGIT antibody fused with TGF-βRII protein, was designed to inhibit TIGIT-mediated immunosuppression while decreasing the TGF-β levels in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Mutations were introduced in the Fc region of the antibody with IgG4 backbone to avoid antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) to minimize lymphocyte loss.
The encouraging observations from preclinical results of AK130 supports its clinical development for the treatment of human cancers:
- AK130 could specifically bind to human TIGIT and TGF-β with high affinity.
- In reporter gene assays, AK130 efficiently blocked the interaction between TIGIT and CD155, as well as TGF-β1/TGF-β3 and TGFβ-RII.
- As expected, AK130 did not show ADCC or CDC activity compared to tiragolumab.
- AK130 shows great anti-tumor efficacy in a mouse tumor model.
About AK130 (TIGIT/TGF-β dual-targeting antibody fusion protein)
AK130 is a bifunctional antibody-fusion protein entirely independently developed by Akeso. It consists of an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody fused to the extracellular domain of human transforming growth factor-β receptor II (TGFβ-RII). TIGIT is an emerging immune checkpoint that blocks TIGIT-CD155 interaction, relieves the inhibition of tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cells and NK cells and promotes their anti-tumor function. TGF-β signaling can lead to immunosuppression, cancer immune escape, and immune checkpoint inhibitor resistance. Dual blockade of TIGIT and TGF-β activates T cell immune responses and reduces TGF-β-mediated immunosuppressive activity of Tregs, thereby achieving better antitumor effects.

A 77-year-old man was attacked and killed Sunday by a wild kangaroo that authorities believe he kept as a pet at his home in southwest Australia, police said.
His death marked the first fatal kangaroo attack in Australia in 86 years.
A relative of the man found him with “serious injuries” on his property in Redmond, a semi-rural area about 250 miles southeast of Perth.
Investigators believe the kangaroo turned on him and attacked him hours before he was found by his relative.
When officers and paramedics arrived at the man’s home, the killer kangaroo was preventing them from reaching its injured owner, so cops shot it dead, police said.
“The kangaroo was posing an ongoing threat to emergency responders,” police said in a statement.
The man died at the scene. A coroner will record his official cause of death.
Authorities believe the 77-year-old had been illegally keeping the marsupial as a pet.
Western gray kangaroos, which can reach up to 4-foot-three-inches tall and weigh up to 119 pounds, are known for their powerful kicks. Male kangaroos can be aggressive and fight people the same way they do amongst each other — by kicking opponents with both clawed hind legs.
The last report of a person being killed by a kangaroo in Australia was in 1936. That year, William Cruickshank, 38, died in a hospital in Hillston in New South Wales state on the Australian east coast from injuries he suffered in a kangaroo attack.
Cruickshank sustained extensive head injuries including a broken jaw after attempting to rescue his two dogs from a large kangaroo, The Sydney Morning Herald reported at the time.

What are the lyrics to 'Libera Me'?
Here are the lyrics to the Catholic responsory, Libera Me
'Libera Me' is a responsory that is usually sung in the Catholic Church at funerals, as part of the service of prayers for the dead, after the Requiem Mass and before burial. A cantor begins The responsory who sings the versicles alone, and the responses are sung by the choir.
It has been set to music by a number of different composers including including Tomás Luis de Victoria, Anton Bruckner, Giuseppe Verdi, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé, Igor Stravinsky, and Benjamin Britten,
Fauré included it in his requiem
What are the lyrics to 'Libera Me'?
Deliver me, O Lord, from death eternal on that fearful day,
When the heavens and the earth shall be moved,
When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
I am made to tremble, and I fear, till the judgment be upon us, and the coming wrath,
When the heavens and the earth shall be moved.
That day, day of wrath, calamity and misery, day of great and exceeding bitterness,
When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord: and let light perpetual shine upon them.
What are the original Latin lyrics to 'Libera Me'?
Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda
Quando cœli movendi sunt et terra
Dum veneris iudicare sæculum per ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo, dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira
Quando cœli movendi sunt et terra.
Dies illa, dies iræ, calamitatis et miseriæ, dies magna et amara valde
Dum veneris iudicare sæculum per ignem.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis. | https://www.classical-music.com/features/articles/libera-me-lyrics/ | 2022-09-13T07:07:27Z | classical-music.com | control | https://www.classical-music.com/features/articles/libera-me-lyrics/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
CAMBRIDGE, Md. - The old Dorchester General Hospital met with a team of excavators today.
The medical center was also known as the University Maryland Shore Medical Center at Dorchester.
The (CWDI) Cambridge Waterfront Development Incorporated Executive Director, Matt Leonard, says they've been envisioning on how to beautify the city for 30 years. Two years ago, the university decided to move locations, and that vision has become a reality.
Leonard says, "The idea is to improve this site for the benefit of the community. Where it's a place that is inviting, accessible, active, and enjoyable for the locals. But also, an attraction for people to come and visit and spend some time here to get to know Cambridge. And maybe, choose to live here at some point. We would love that."
Replacing the medical center will be retail, food and beverage shops, residential homes, and grasslands with trails for biking and hiking.
Some in the community said they had concerns with the water becoming polluted with all of the new residential and retail buildings. However, Leonard says, "Cambridge Waterfront Development incorporated is just as concerned as the community about the environmental aspect of developing along the waterfront. Again, one of the first things were doing is making sure that the actual vertical construction of buildings, residential, and retail is back away from the waterfront by about 100 yards."
The demolition, today, brought some curious onlookers. One of those spectators was Jimmy Simmons. He said watching the medical center saddened him because his mother worked there. Simmons says, "It just hurts, that's all. It hurts. We don't need that going on in Cambridge, right now. This hospital was a part of the town."
Leonard said, some of those, in Cambridge have sentimental ties because they were either born there, worked there, healed there, and/or watched a loved one heal there. So, for those who have that sentimental tie are encouraged to take a brick from the demolition to remember the building.
One thing that CWDI is doing, is putting a plan together for long-term sustainability, for this site. We are going to own it, operate it, manage it, activate it, secure it, and clean it. So yes, we are putting that plan in place, now, to make sure that whatever we develop here is maintained really well for the benefit of the public," says Leonard.

SALISBURY, Md. --- Delmarva Bike Week is just around the corner. And before engines start revving up, local safety experts want to make sure there's more cruising and less bruising this year. And Jackie Mcdermott the Motorcycle Program Manager with the Delaware Office of Highway Safety says one way that could help is for drivers to be aware of their surroundings.
"The main thing is to look twice," Mcdermott said. "With motorcycle's smaller size, it's easier for them to be hidden in that front, what we call it a post. They fit right in that little blind spot."
Mcdermott also reminds drivers to drive the speed limit. and she also has some advice for riders.
"Try to be courteous try to understand that you are smaller," Mcdermott said. "So people are not going to see you as easily. And it's not always that they don't want to see you it's just that from their smaller size it's a lot harder to be seen."
Now although there are some safety concerns. General Manager at Mogan's Oyster House, Mike Daly, said they are actually looking forward to bike week as they say its the start of their busy seasons.
"Just because of how close we are to the beach and things like that downtown Salisbury tends to experience its slower times during the summer," Daly said. "We actually know that the students are back, everybody's gearing up for the fall. We're actually heading into our season. We kind of look at the bike week as the kick-off for us."
So by driving and riding safely on the roadways, everyone will be able to enjoy another Delmarva Bike Week. | https://www.wboc.com/news/drivers-and-riders-are-reminded-of-safety-practices-ahead-of-delmarva-bike-week/article_c22a89a6-3316-11ed-9027-ebf0024473b2.html | 2022-09-13T07:07:51Z | wboc.com | control | https://www.wboc.com/news/drivers-and-riders-are-reminded-of-safety-practices-ahead-of-delmarva-bike-week/article_c22a89a6-3316-11ed-9027-ebf0024473b2.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
House of the Dragon Episode 4 – What Did You Think?!
Warning: There are spoilers ahead for House of the Dragon episode 4!
There was no action in this week’s House of the Dragon, at least not that kind of action. But there’s a scandal unfolding in King’s Landing. The fourth episode of House of the Dragon has debuted, we want to know what the Superhero Hype community thinks about it! This post is a place for all of you to leave your own reviews, thoughts, or anything else you want to say about House of the Dragon episode 4.
Somewhere in the seven kingdoms, Rhaenyra doesn’t hide her boredom as she endures a succession of suitors. Rhaenyra becomes so frustrated by the candidates that she cuts her betrothal tour short, but not before one of her child suitors kills a man who mocked him. Just as Rhaenyra sails into King’s Landing, she witnesses her estranged uncle, Prince Daemon, riding his dragon home in triumph. She arrives in court in to to see Daemon reunite with his brother, King Viserys, before bending the knee in front of the court. Viserys forgives his brother and reconciles with Daemon. However, Viserys is very cold towards Rhaenyra because she has come home two months early.

Fortunately for the princess, her relationship with her former best friend, Queen Alicent, has thawed. They actually seem to reconcile as well. Hours later, Rhaenyra receives a message from Daemon and sneaks out of her room. Daemon takes Rhawnyra out for an incognito tour of King’s Landing, and demonstrates that her future subjects despise her. After witnessing a play that calls her succession to the throne in question, Daemon brings Rhawnyra to a brothel and seduces her.
Rhaenyra turns out to be more than a willing participant with Daemon. Regardless, her enthusiasm about their tryst causes Daemon to lose interest and abandon her. And because Daemon removed Rhaenyra’s disguise, she is easily recognized by one of Lord Otto Hightower’s spies. Back at the palace, Viserys summons Alicent to his bedroom so he can have sex with her. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra returns home and quickly seduces Ser Criston Cole. Although reluctant at first, Criston gives into his desire despite being a member of Rhaenyra’s Kingsguard.
In the morning, Otto is briefed by his spy and he takes the news of Rhaenyra and Daemon’s night out directly to the king. However, Viserys refuses to believe it and angrily orders Otto to leave, but not before Alicent hears everything. The queen quickly summons Rhaenyra to get her side of the story, and the princess swears that she didn’t sleep with Daemon. Unfortunately for Rhaenyra, Daemon confesses to Viserys that he was with Rhaenyra, and implies that he did have sex with her. Daemon suggests that they should be wed in the Targaryen tradition, but in his fury, Viserys exiles his brother again.

Soon after, Viserys clashes with Rhaenyra, who protests her innocence. Regardless, Viserys tells her that her search for a husband is over and she will be forced to wed Ser Laenor Velaryon to appease his father, Lord Corlys Velaryon. Rhaenyra accepts this, but she demands that Viserys dismiss Otto for attempting to discredit her claim on the throne. Hours later, Viserys fires Otto and takes back the sigil of the Hand of the King. And to shore up the palace intrigue, Viserys also arranges for Rhaenyra to have a special tea to insure that she won’t get pregnant from her wild night out.

Sarah Paulson Celebrated Her Eighth Emmy Nomination with Holland Taylor By Her Side
Sarah Paulson is no stranger to the Emmy Awards. The actress celebrated her eighth nomination on Monday night, arriving to the red carpet as only a veteran could, stealing the spotlight in an eye-catching look, as always, and with her partner, Holland Taylor in tow.
For the event, Paulson wore a custom navy blue Louis Vuitton two-piece set, styled by Karla Welch. The ensemble featured a structured, square-shaped crop top, reminiscent of the silhouette seen in Nicolas Ghesquière’s resort 2023 collection for the brand. On the bottom, Paulson wore a ruched skirt in the same dark blue hue, featuring a peplum at the waist. A studded belt—also popular on the resort runway—and a silver choker added a bit of edge to the look, which she finished off with her short hair gelled down and an orange-red lip.
But the crème de la crème of Paulson’s look was what was on her arm. No, not a Judith Leiber or Roger Vivier clutch, but her partner, Holland Taylor. The fellow-actress has always been very supportive of Paulson at award shows, and the 2022 Emmys were no different. Taylor, who wore a black and gold tweed jacket with large, gold buttons on the carpet, posed for photos with Paulson, solidifying themselves as our favorite couple at the award show tonight. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/sarah-paulson-holland-taylor-2022-emmy-awards | 2022-09-13T07:24:26Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/sarah-paulson-holland-taylor-2022-emmy-awards | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Selena Gomez Snuck Into the 2022 Emmys at the Very Last Minute
Selena Gomez was already fully established before Only in the Murders in the Building, but the Hulu show has brought her to another level. So it came as a surprise when the 30-year-old was mysteriously absent from Monday night’s Emmys; after all, her producer role has been key, and the series is up for 17 awards. In fact, if you were looking away from your screen, you would have thought she skipped out when host Kenan Thompson neglected to mention her in a shoutout to her seatmates and costars Steve Martin and Martin Short. (Both are up for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.)
Jus when it seemed like Gomez had denied us a red carpet moment, she ended up rushing into the ceremony at the very last minute. What’s more, she eventually took center stage. The actor showcased the show’s star trio’s unlikely chemistry when presenting the Variety Talk Series award (which ended up going to Last Week Tonight With John Oliver). “You know what I love about working with theses guys?,” Gomez said upon taking the stage, then paused. “No paparazzi. Ever.” It gets better: When Bowen Yang came onstage to present the next category, he joked that tuning into Only Murders is “like watching Lady Gaga care of two Tony Bennetts.”
Gomez joined the many who’ve embraced white for the evening in a sequined halter top dress, adding a pop of color in the form of emerald green earrings. Whether or not you prefer the many coats she’s worn as the podcaster Mabel, you can’t deny that Gomez has the range. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/selena-gomez-emmy-awards-2023-red-carpet | 2022-09-13T07:24:32Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/selena-gomez-emmy-awards-2023-red-carpet | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Sheryl Lee Ralph Gave an Emmys Speech for the History Books
Sheryl Lee Ralph had her career breakthrough as Deena in the original Broadway production of Dream Girls. Forty years later, she finally won her first major show business awards for her role as Barbara Howard on Abbott Elementary and gave a show-stopping acceptance speech that both cements why she’s a Broadway legend and is sure to go down in the history books. And is there an Emmy for Best Awards Show Acceptance Speech? Because she deserves that one too.
Ralph, at first, seemed shocked when her name was announced for the win—perhaps for good reason. While her performance has been critical acclaimed, she didn’t come into the night as the odds-maker’s favorite to win (she was up against last year’s Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series winner, Hannah Waddingham, not to mention past winners Alex Borstein and Kate McKinnon). Her face gave no hint that she had something planned.
Once on the stage, however, she dove into a performance of Dianne Reeves’s song “Endangered Species.” “I am an endangered species, but I sing no victim’s song,” she sang. “I am a woman. I am an artist. And I know where my voice belongs.”
But that wasn’t all. Ralph also thanked show creator Quinta Brunson, her husband, children and, of course, all the voters.
The moment left Keenan Thompson speechless; same for Lizzo, who had to follow the moment by presenting the next award.
It certainly was a deserving and big moment, 45 years in the making. While Ralph has been nominated for a Tony, a Drama Desk Awards, and multiple NAACP Image Awards, her only other award came back in 1991 at the Independent Spirit Awards for her work in To Sleep With Anger. Something tells us she might not have to wait that long for her next one.
It’s also nice that one of the most talked-about moments at the awards show was actually something people enjoyed. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/sheryl-lee-ralph-emmys-2022-speech-song | 2022-09-13T07:24:38Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/sheryl-lee-ralph-emmys-2022-speech-song | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The Best Dressed Stars on the 2022 Emmys Red Carpet
The 74th annual Emmy Awards have arrived—and with it, a whole lot of outstanding fashion moments. Zendaya, in a terribly chic Valentino strapless gown, black ribbon headband, and Bulgari diamond choker, appeared the undisputed champ of the night. But that doesn’t mean the other stars on the 2022 Emmys carpet were nothing to sniff at. They were, in fact, drop-dead gorgeous: Nicholas Hoult in an inventive Dior design; Emmy winner Amanda Seyfried in delicate old Hollywood Armani Privé; Ted Lasso star Sarah Niles in a sculptural, gold gown; and Jung Ho-yeon wearing paillette patchwork Louis Vuitton.

Aviation workers protest in Lagos, shut down operations at Kano airport
FLIGHT operations at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano were on Monday temporarily grounded following face-off between the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency over non-payment of electricity bills.
This came just as the aviation unions’ directive to workers across the airports to embark on a peaceful protest over what they called an obnoxious bill in the new act signed into law by President Muhamadu Buhari last week had led to a heavy gridlock around the Ikeja axis of Lagos State.
The union officials and the workers marched round the domestic wing of the Lagos airport chanting solidarity songs without recourse to the early morning rains.
Tension started mounting between NAMA and FAAN since last Friday following the disconnection of power supplies to the quarters housing the NAMA workers and its facilities within the airport over N500million debt.
Members of the Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), the professional body in NAMA responsible for clearing and separating aircraft taking off and landing at the airport and other airports had threatened to shut down air navigation facilities in the Kano zone over the disconnection of electricity supply by the airport manager in Kano.
The disconnection of NAMA electricity supplies had kept the NAMA quarters in Kano in darkness which made it difficult for the controllers to carry out their critical assignments.
One of the controllers who craved anonymity lamented how he said the FAAN through its airport manager in Kano, had unilaterally undermined other stakeholders especially NAMA denying them of electricity supply.
ALSO READ FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNE
While warning that there will be a total shut down of provisions of Air Navigation and safety services in Kano over what he described as an irresponsible action by FAAN, he declared: “It is not a threat but we must once and for all forestall FAAN’s intolerance and undignified approach to civil aviation safety standards and recommended practice.”
A source within NAMA in a phone conversation with the Nigerian Tribune however hinted that the issue had since been resolved between the two sister agencies. As early as 7am on Monday, the aviation workers in Lagos led by the National Union of Air Transport Employees; Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria; Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals; Amalgamated Unions of Public Corporations; Civil Service Technical & Recreational Services Employees, and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, had positioned themselves at strategic locations starting from the local airport.
The gates and offices of the FAAN, NAMA and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) were locked up by the unions to prevent the top management officials from working.
The peaceful strike hindered smooth vehicular movements not only within the Ikeja axis but up to Ikeja along and Oshodi axis with many airline workers reporting late to work.
At the end of the rally at the Lagos end, the unions led by the General Secretary of NUATE, Comrade Aba Ocheme gave the Federal Government 14 days ultimatum within when to expunge the obnoxious bill or risk a total shutdown of airports. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/aviation-workers-protest-in-lagos-shut-down-operations-at-kano-airport/ | 2022-09-13T07:27:12Z | tribuneonlineng.com | control | https://tribuneonlineng.com/aviation-workers-protest-in-lagos-shut-down-operations-at-kano-airport/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
