Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas Embrace Texture During Joint Red Carpet Appearance
While many of her fellow TV stars spent the evening in Los Angeles, celebrating the Emmy Awards, Sophie Turner found herself in Toronto on Monday night, supporting her husband Joe Jonas at the premiere of his upcoming movie, Devotion.
The outing was monumental for two reasons. For one, it marked the first time the couple walked the red carpet since welcoming their second daughter this past July. The evening was also a celebration of Jonas, who makes his film debut in the film, which tells the story of two U.S. naval officers during the Korean War. The film is based off the book, Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice by Adam Makos and stars Glen Powell and Jonathan Majors as the two officers. Jonas joins the cast as pilot Marty Goode. He’s also releasing a song with Khalid for the movie’s soundtrack called “Not Alone.”
It’s fitting, then, that the couple went bold for the big occasion, wearing two Louis Vuitton looks. Jonas went shirtless under a black velvet blazer, decorated with a diamond Bulgari broach, wide-leg black trousers, and square-toed shoes. His all-black ensemble was contrasted by his wife’s floor-length dress, comprised of feather-like petals in a variety of soft hues. Turner’s stylist, Kate Young, kept the rest of the ensemble simple, adding only diamond earrings and opting to forgo a necklace. Crimped hair and dusty red eye shadow completed the look.
Jonas spoke about his excitement to get into acting at the premiere of the movie. “Cameos are fun, but I've always had the itch to get onscreen and find a great script that made sense and work with amazing people that can challenge me,” he said, according to Entertainment Tonight. “I just really, honestly, didn't have the time. And I was grateful for the amount of touring that we did throughout these years, but the pandemic gave me a little bit of window of time to go out there and audition and put myself on tape—and knowing I had something to prove.” Devotion will hit theaters on November 23rd. | https://www.wmagazine.com/fashion/sophie-turner-joe-jonas-devotion-premiere-red-carpet | 2022-09-14T03:19:09Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/fashion/sophie-turner-joe-jonas-devotion-premiere-red-carpet | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
BOSTON — A package exploded on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston late Tuesday, and the college said a staff member suffered minor injuries.
Authorities said another suspicious package was found near a prominent art museum and the FBI was assisting with the investigation.
The parcel that blew up was one of two that were reported to police early in the evening. Boston's bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city's Museum of Fine Arts, which is on the outskirts of the Northeastern campus.
NBC Boston reported that the package that exploded went off as it was being opened near the university's Holmes Hall, which is home to the university's creative writing program and its women's, gender and sexuality studies program. It said the FBI was assisting the investigation.
Authorities declined to elaborate, but Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi said in a statement that an unidentified university staff member suffered minor injuries to his hand in the explosion.
Police converged on the campus shortly before 7:30 p.m., and the university asked students who had gathered for an evening journalism class at the hall to evacuate the building.
Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston. WCVB said one of its reporters, Mike Beaudet, was teaching a class there at the time. Beaudet told the station his class was moved outside but that neither he nor his students heard an explosion.
Michael Davis, chief of Northeastern's police force, told reporters the campus was secure. Boston police didn't say whether any other suspicious packages were found.
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both on the other side of the Charles River separating Boston from Cambridge, said they were increasing patrols on their campuses as a precaution and urging students and faculty to report anything suspicious.
Tuesday's packages marked one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others.

NEW YORK — Monica Lewinsky had a tempered, compassionate response to the death of Ken Starr, the former independent counsel whose investigation of Bill Clinton helped reveal her affair with the president and, she once wrote, made her life a “living hell.”
“As I'm sure many can understand, my thoughts about ken starr bring up complicated feelings,” she tweeted Tuesday after reports that Starr had died at age 76. “But of more importance, is that i imagine it’s a painful loss for those who love him.”
Lewinsky was a White House intern in the mid-1990s, in her early 20s, when she began a relationship with Clinton, one that Starr would document in exhaustive, explicit detail. Starr had initially been retained to look into an Arkansas real estate deal Bill and Hillary Clinton were involved in, but his investigation shifted after he learned of allegations about the president's private behavior. Lewinsky denied their affair in a sworn affidavit, but did not know that her former colleague, Linda Tripp, had been taping their phone conversations about Bill Clinton and would turn them over to Starr.
Lewinsky would recall with horror being interrogated for hours in 1998 by Starr's prosecutors — but not Starr himself — and threatened with prison if she didn't cooperate with their investigation, a demand she initially refused. Months later, she agreed to testify about the affair, and turned over to prosecutors a dress stained with the president's semen, in return for immunity.
Lewinsky later wrote that she was diagnosed with “post-traumatic stress disorder, mainly from the ordeal of having been publicly outed and ostracized,” and was for years subjected to crude jokes. But starting with a Vanity Fair essay in 2014 and a TED talk she gave in 2015 on “The Price of Shame,” she has become a widely respected anti-bullying activist. David Letterman and John Oliver are among those who have apologized for once mocking her.
Writing in Vanity Fair in 2018, Lewinsky remembered finally encountering Starr in person, at a Greenwich Village restaurant the previous Christmas Eve. Starr stepped forward with a “warm, incongruous smile,” and introduced himself to Lewinsky, who was dining with her family.
“Ken Starr asked me several times if I was ‘doing O.K.’ A stranger might have surmised from his tone that he had actually worried about me over the years. His demeanor, almost pastoral, was somewhere between avuncular and creepy. He kept touching my arm and elbow, which made me uncomfortable,” she wrote.
"I turned and introduced him to my family. Bizarre as it may sound, I felt determined, then and there, to remind him that, 20 years before, he and his team of prosecutors hadn’t hounded and terrorized just me but also my family — threatening to prosecute my mom (if she didn’t disclose the private confidences I had shared with her), hinting that they would investigate my dad’s medical practice, and even deposing my aunt, with whom I was eating dinner that night."
Starr would write about Lewinsky in his 2018 memoir “Contempt,” describing how “Monica screamed, she cried, she pouted, and complained bitterly about her scheming, no-good, so-called friend (Tripp).” But their threats, and the urging of Lewinsky's mother to accept the prosecutors' terms, did not change her mind.
“Monica overruled her mother. She would fall on her sword rather than implicate the president of the United States,” Starr wrote. “It was becoming increasingly clear: in thinking she was a naive, starstruck young woman in love who would quickly cooperate, we underestimated her. In her determination to protect the president, Monica kept a team of experienced FBI agents and career prosecutors twiddling their thumbs for much of the day.” | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/lewinsky-shares-response-to-starrs-death/507-0dc8d9d9-3cee-4646-bfa2-52bbb4ce71e4 | 2022-09-14T03:21:43Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/lewinsky-shares-response-to-starrs-death/507-0dc8d9d9-3cee-4646-bfa2-52bbb4ce71e4 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Most grandparents love a surprise visit from family, but earlier this week local grandpas and grandmas shocked students at Radney Elementary School with their own special treat.
This past Sunday marked National Grandparents' Day and as such the schoolexpanded the annual holiday into two-day celebration and provided lunch for both the students and their grandparents.
Assistant Principal Dr. Brandon Gilliland explained that the festivity is returning after a two-year hiatus after in-person school gatherings halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Community involvement has been impaired since COVID-19 happened two years ago, and we're just trying to come up with new ways to bridge that gap and to get our parents, grandparents and the community back into our schools,” he said.
With the pandemic in a downward turn, the school district is ramping up additional family events as the new school year begins. Gilliland added with good reason and stressed family involvement as a major success factor in childhood development, including in education.
According to Gilliland, research proves that students with strong family support generally perform better academically and suffer less disciplinary issues.
“Research shows that parents who are involved in their kid’s education and in their school community have better standardized test scores, better grades, and less discipline issues. So we want to try to open that up as much as possible have as many events that have parents involved,” he said.

Families seem interested in participating as Gilliland noted over 200 people attended the celebration between the two days.
“We had an excellent turnout. The response was great. The grandparents and parents love being able to get back into the schools and see what the kids are learning,” he said. “It's been really tough over the last few years having restrictions in place and it's good to see that we have a return to normalcy.”
Very important people visited Jim Pearson Elementary School Thursday, September 8.
“There's kids that don't have grandparents so this is also a VIP Day ,and was more of an open invitation for whoever the kid wanted to bring,” he said.
Gilliland hopes for more family activities moving into the school year, feeling that childhood development depends on extended support groups. For instance, the school hosted a meeting last week with families to review student test scores and offer learning resources for parents.
“It forms a partnership when you create that positive dialogue and it lets the parents know that you are number one and the school is not the enemy and that we're here to work together,” he said. “It takes everyone working together in order to educate the whole child.”

Chattanooga Funeral Homes are offering condolences to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Four funeral homes have a register book where people can sign their names and leave words of comfort for the Queen's family.
People across the globe are mourning Queen Elizabeth's death and a Soddy-Daisy man who has ties to England said he is mourning her death as well.
Inside the Chattanooga Funeral Home East Chapel is a register book for the late Queen Elizabeth that is set out for people to sign. Each page is a tribute to her majesty.
"God bless the Queen and the royal family," are words written by local Kevin Olley who was stationed in England for 3 years in the early 1980s.
He said he worked to fix the NATO fighter aircraft. During his time in the UK, he said he learned more about who Queen Elizabeth was.
"I loved her. Great to the people especially the younger people in that country that needed guidance in the days we live in now and they could always look up to her for her comforting words," he said.
Britain's longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth, died on Thursday.
Olley's reaction?
"I was not surprised because of her age. And I am sad to hear of her passing of course for her and her family," he said.
The East Chapel funeral home is one of several locations with a register book.
The books will be delivered to Buckingham Palace with the signatures.
"Have those that are grieving be able to send condolences and send support," said Darrin Wolfe the location manager for the Chattanooga Funeral Home.
"(It's just) outstanding that they have done this for her," said Olley.
The full list of locations are:
- The East Chapel-404 South Moore Road, Chattanooga, TN
- The East Brainerd Chapel-8214 East Brainerd Road, Chattanooga, TN
- The North Chapel-5401 Highway 153, Hixson, TN
- The Valley View Chapel-7414 Old Lee Highway, Chattanooga, TN
The last day to sign the registries is Friday, September 16. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/chattanooga-funeral-homes-asks-for-signatures-in-register-books-to-honor-queen-elizabeth/article_a6790666-33ab-11ed-9ce3-93e7b34e5a40.html | 2022-09-14T03:29:50Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/chattanooga-funeral-homes-asks-for-signatures-in-register-books-to-honor-queen-elizabeth/article_a6790666-33ab-11ed-9ce3-93e7b34e5a40.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The Collegedale Police Department says one of their K-9 officers helped catch an escaped felon.
Police say Officer Goose and his handler Officer Shell attempted to stop a vehicle on Lee Highway for a traffic violation but the driver sped away.
They called for backup and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office chased down James Falvo, who police say is an escaped felon from Georgia.
Falvo was captured and is facing a number of charges including felony evading. | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/collegedale-pd-k-9-officer-catches-escaped-felon-from-georgia-during-first-day-on-the/article_8f7bba6e-33b3-11ed-82ad-23e177322505.html | 2022-09-14T03:30:03Z | local3news.com | control | https://www.local3news.com/local-news/collegedale-pd-k-9-officer-catches-escaped-felon-from-georgia-during-first-day-on-the/article_8f7bba6e-33b3-11ed-82ad-23e177322505.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A new Chattanooga resident is striking the right note by bringing her music expertise to the community to help others through sound.
A musician since childhood, Jennifer Kearns, went to school for French Horn performance and has appeared on Broadway.
She now brings her musical talents to heal the community through sound therapy.
"I perform on all different types of instruments... singing you know making music that people want to hear for entertainment and now the sounds that I'm using are for healing," Kearns said.
She discovered sound therapy as another way to help others. Her performance-filled life led her back to school to become a music teacher working with children.
When she found sound therapy, she loved that it was backed by science and research and it's just another way to impact people.
"Recently, I wanted to study music therapy. I always wanted to study music therapy just because it's very intriguing and it combines helping people, children," she said.
Here in Chattanooga, Kearns hosts sessions that use tuning forks and other music makers to soothe the mind and spirit.
"With the tuning forks that I use and the pure sounds that come in through the ears, the power of the ears and sound is that it will hit the Vegas Nerve. The Vegas Nerve in the body will directly impact the parasympathetic nervous system which is your stress, your blood pressure. So instantly from the get-go, I can access that Vegas Nerve and get that person into a calm relaxed state," she said.
This treatment can help people who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety.
She offers group sound baths, which are like group yoga sessions but with sound therapy.
"I have all of my sound healing instruments, my crystal bowls lined up. I have the small Tibetan bowls. I have wind chimes, a big shamanic drum and I also make background tracks on my computer," she said.
Kearns says one hour of a sound bath can be the equivalent of three or more hours of deep sleep and meditation.

The Texas Department of Public Safety referred two more officers to the agency's Office of Inspector General late last week for formal investigation over their responses to the Robb Elementary massacre in Uvalde, a department spokesperson told CNN on Tuesday.
This brings the total number of officers under formal investigation to seven. Five officers were initially referred on Sept. 6. Two of the officers have been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the investigation and the other five remain on duty.
It is unknown what actions by these officers, who have not been publicly identified, prompted their referrals.
A total of 91 officers from department responded to the Uvalde shooting on May 24, according to a report by a Texas House of Representatives committee. Amid anger over the broader law enforcement response, the agency has been under intense scrutiny to reveal details of its officers' actions on the scene.
The Department of Public Safety includes state troopers and Texas Rangers.
In an exclusive interview with CNN last Thursday, Col. Steven McCraw, the agency's director, vowed to fire any member of his department who did not do their job stating, "No one gets a pass."
His pledge came after CNN tracked him down and confronted him with minutes of an internal meeting where he is recorded as telling highway patrol captains the opposite -- that "no one is losing their jobs" over the inept law enforcement response.
While confirming much of the information attributed to him in the memorandum, McCraw said he was misquoted on the possibility of firings and his comments only referenced Victor Escalon, a regional director for the agency, who will not be terminated.
"I reviewed his actions, and there's nothing he could've done otherwise than what he did," McCraw said.

Prominent Georgia attorney Page Pate, a frequent CNN guest, died Sunday afternoon, his law firm told CNN. He was 55.
Pate died after being swept out into a rip current off the coast of St. Simons Island, Georgia, Glynn County Fire-Rescue acting Chief Vinnie DiCristofalo told CNN.
First responders received a call about "two swimmers in distress" at Gould's Inlet beach, just after 2 p.m., said DiCristofalo, who confirmed the two swimmers were Pate and his son.
While they were heading to the scene, the water rescue team learned that "the adolescent victim reached shore safely," DiCristofalo said.
A rescue boat pulled Pate from the water and took him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, DiCristofalo said.
Gould's Inlet beach is known for its rip currents, according to DiCristofalo.
"I don't have direct information whether they were together and got drawn out," added DiCristofalo.
Pate's law firm, Pate, Johnson & Church, described him as a trial lawyer of more than 25 years. He was also "a founding member of the Georgia Innocence Project" and "a member of the Federal and Atlanta Bar Associations, the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association," along with "numerous other organizations dedicated to advancing justice and the legal profession."
Pate leaves behind a wife and two sons.
"Some of Page's happiest moments were on trips with his sons, whether long hikes on the West Coast or taking in Nascar races," said the statement from his law firm.
He graduated with honors from the University of Georgia Law School in 1994.
Pate was a trusted legal voice for many local and national media organizations, including CNN, where he appeared frequently to provide insight and perspective as a criminal defense and constitutional law attorney on high-profile cases.
The Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (GACDL) said in a statement its members were "shocked and saddened to hear the news of Page Pate's passing. The GACDL community sends thoughts of peace and comfort to his family and friends. Page was a larger-than-life person and attorney."
He remained active with the Georgia Innocence Project "over the years," the organization said, joining its board of directors in 2018 and serving for "the past several years" on the board's executive committee and as chair of its public relations committee.
He was a "fierce advocate for the criminally accused and unjustly convicted," the organization said in a statement.
"Above all else, we will remember Page's kindness and generosity, always willing to give anything he could to help, whether it be a personal matter or professional, and never asking for anything in return," the organization said.

Dee Farmer served time at a federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, for credit card fraud. She was housed in a male facility even though she identified as a trans woman. Based on prison policy, she was placed with her gender assigned at birth. Within two weeks of her arrival, she says she was beaten and raped by her cellmate.
"I stayed in prison for 17 years. And while there, you know, I suffered all the types of abuses," she said. "When I was raped, the guard was sitting down in his office, and there were maybe 200 inmates in the unit I was in, in Terre Haute. There's only one guard, generally, to every housing unit. So, to believe that the officers can protect you is just a myth."
A lawsuit by Farmer against the prison system reached the Supreme Court.
The justices ruled in her favor, saying that prison officials may be liable for harm if they know of safety risks and disregard them. That case was in 1994.

Today, LGBTQ+ inmates still face bias, discrimination and unsafe circumstances in prison.
Jane Hereth is an assistant professor of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Their recent report documented the overrepresentation of LGBTQ+ people in the criminal justice system and the pipeline that funnels many of them there.
"Bias and discrimination across the board by police, by judges, by attorneys," she said. "Things like family rejection, poverty, homelessness, bullying in schools — were all part of their story leading to the criminal legal system."
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, LGBTQ+ individuals were twice as likely to be arrested as their straight counterparts.
"When we talk about incarceration, probation, the justice system in general, there's a high representation of LGBTQ Black and brown folks," Black and Pink Social Worker and Deputy Director Andrew Aleman said.
Once behind bars, trans individuals are at a heightened risk, especially trans women of color.
"We know that most trans women who are who are taken into custody are housed in a men's facility, despite knowing the risk and the high rates of sexual assault and violence that happen to trans women in men facilities," Lambda Legal Senior Attorney Richard Saenz said.
Shows like "Orange Is the New Black" introduced many in the public to life in prison for LGBTQ+ people.

"'Orange Is the New Black,' and some other shows that have come out since then have really humanized people who are in custody," Saenz continued. "One of the things that I remember seeing is that a trans woman was approached, you know, maybe by four or five inmates at once, sort of like jokingly harassing her sexually. And so that is something that you generally see within the prison system on a daily basis."
Farmer says harassment takes a mental toll.
"They suffer a number of times. Many of them, even if they're not raped, they are constantly sexually harassed and pressured into sexual relationships," Farmer said. "And many of them have to do it for their safety."
Farmer says there's still a revolving door of LGBTQ+ people who go through solitary confinement for protection but then return to the general prison population because confinement was depressing.
"I was placed in the segregation unit and I was there for over a year. And while I was there, there were maybe eight or nine, not necessarily transgender, but gay and transgender — I would just say gender-nonconforming inmates — that were just back and forth into the segregation unit," Farmer said.
Organizations like Black and Pink are advocates for LGBTQ+ in the criminal justice system. Their programs connect gay inmates to support networks outside prison.
"My ask would be that we don't forget our roots, and we don't forget that there are thousands of LGBTQ people in prisons and jails right now. And these are our loved ones," Saenz said.

BOSTON (AP) — A package exploded on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston late Tuesday, and the college said a staff member suffered minor injuries.
Authorities said another suspicious package was found near a prominent art museum and the FBI was assisting with the investigation.
The parcel that blew up was one of two that were reported to police early in the evening. Boston's bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city's Museum of Fine Arts, which is on the outskirts of the Northeastern campus.
NBC Boston reported that the package that exploded went off as it was being opened near the university's Holmes Hall, which is home to the university's creative writing program and its women's, gender and sexuality studies program. It said the FBI was assisting the investigation.
Authorities declined to elaborate, but Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi said in a statement that an unidentified university staff member suffered minor injuries to his hand in the explosion.
Police converged on the campus shortly before 7:30 p.m., and the university asked students who had gathered for an evening journalism class at the hall to evacuate the building.
Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston. WCVB said one of its reporters, Mike Beaudet, was teaching a class there at the time. Beaudet told the station his class was moved outside but that neither he nor his students heard an explosion.
Michael Davis, chief of Northeastern's police force, told reporters the campus was secure. Boston police didn't say whether any other suspicious packages were found.
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both on the other side of the Charles River separating Boston from Cambridge, said they were increasing patrols on their campuses as a precaution and urging students and faculty to report anything suspicious.
Tuesday's packages marked one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/package-explodes-on-boston-campus-1-injured-fbi-involved | 2022-09-14T03:33:05Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/package-explodes-on-boston-campus-1-injured-fbi-involved | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A Los Angeles County resident's death has been attributed to monkeypox, the county Department of Public Health said Monday, the first known death from the virus in the US.
The department and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the link and said the person had a severely weakened immune system and had been hospitalized. No further information will be made public, the department said in a news release.
"Persons severely immunocompromised who suspect they have monkeypox are encouraged to seek medical care and treatment early and remain under the care of a provider during their illness," the news release says.
Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN in an email that the person's "impaired immune system could not control the virus once it entered his body, the virus multiplied in an uncontained fashion and it likely spread to several organ systems, causing their malfunction."
Deaths from monkeypox are extremely rare and often affect babies, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, such as from HIV. A person in Harris County, Texas, who had monkeypox died last month, but the virus' role in that death has not been confirmed.
There have been almost 22,000 cases of probable or confirmed monkeypox reported in the US this year, as of Monday, CDC data shows. California has the most cases: 4,300.
Globally in this outbreak, there have been almost 58,000 cases and 18 confirmed deaths, according to CDC data, which does not yet include the US death.
Trends in monkeypox cases appear to be leveling off, health officials say, but that shouldn't lead to complacency.
"We're continuing to see a downward trend in Europe," World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said last week. "While reported cases from the Americas also declined last week, it's harder to draw firm conclusions about the epidemic in that region. Some countries in the Americas continue to report increasing number of cases and in some there is likely to be underreporting due to stigma and discrimination or a lack of information for those who need it most.
"A downward trend can be the most dangerous time if it opens the door to complacency," he warned.

A former coach of the 7-year-old who was found dead with two of his siblings on a Brooklyn beach Monday remembered him as a quiet, expressive boy who was always excited to play football.
Allen McFarland, a youth football coach and New York City Department of Education employee, said the boy joined his team two years ago and wore number 15.
"He was a very quiet kid but he was so expressive," McFarland said, adding that the boy wore a giant smile while playing. "He was excited to tackle, to be tackled, excited to run the ball, excited to hit the person with the ball, he was just excited."
His mother would often drop him off at practice then leave to run errands, according to the coach.
The coach had to break the news to the rest of the team on Monday and was met with tears from the kids, who were heartbroken to hear their teammate was gone.
"They understand life and death and they took it extremely hard," McFarland said. The team had won a championship together in June 2021.
The coach said he was shaken by the news and made sure to spend even more time with his 6-year-old daughter. He picked her up from school when he was done with work and made sure she was at his side the whole day.
"I made sure to hug her a little tighter. I made sure she felt the love," McFarland said. "It changes your perspective."
Mother pulled boy out of football in March, coach says
McFarland said he remembered the boy's mother pulling him out of football in March.
"You could see that there was a lot going on," the coach said of the mother.
"She would say, 'No, I know he likes it and we're going to try to come back, but the schedule has just been busy,'" McFarland said. "It seemed like she was juggling a lot."
The coach tried to bring the boy back in June, but the boy's mother said he was going away to spend a few months with his father, McFarland said.
"She would say she wanted him to come back because she liked that he enjoyed it, but the action never happened," McFarland said. "He never came back."
The coach said taking the boy out of football "took away his support." Sometimes, a coach who lived in the same building with the mom and her children would pick up the boy and walk him to practice, just a few blocks away, McFarland said. The team practiced three hours a day, four days a week, he added.
McFarland said the coaches tried to get him to come back.
"He just stopped coming. We keep an open-door policy for the most part, but he just stopped coming," McFarland said. "And we would text and then it's, I guess they switched the number, or something like that because I wasn't really getting a response back."
Hearing about the boy's death
McFarland was at work on Monday morning when he got a call from another coach on his team telling him the news.
"'They found him. They drowned him at the beach,'" McFarland says the other coach told him.
McFarland said he was in the cafeteria while breakfast was being served and remembers hearing all the noise in the room go silent.
"He was tearing up by the time he was talking to me," McFarland said. "Then, I needed to get myself together. It was very eerie."
McFarland said he scoured social media looking for any mention of the boy being found dead. When he didn't find any pictures or memorials, he hoped it was a misunderstanding. But the hours ticked by and more parents called him and then he was contacted by reporters.
And when they said the boy's name, his hope faded.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is escalating his feud with Republican-led states that have restricted access to abortion after the Supreme Court's ruling earlier this summer rolling back the federal right to those services that was enshrined in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
As part of his effort to make California a safe harbor for women seeking abortions, Newsom, a Democrat, launched a new state website on Tuesday aimed at connecting women who live out of state with reproductive health care, including a tool that would help them find a provider and how to seek financial assistance for those services.
In a video introducing the site, the California governor touched on the privacy concerns many of those red state women now face -- noting the website abortion.ca.gov will not track them or their personal information -- as conservative lawmakers in some states weigh laws to prevent their state's residents from seeking care across state lines.
"Abortion is legal, safe and accessible here in California -- whether or not you live here, know that we have your back," Newsom said in a video introducing the site Tuesday. "As Republican states continue rolling back fundamental civil rights and even try to prevent people from accessing information online or crossing state lines for care, you're welcome here in California and we'll continue to fight like hell for you."
The effort by Newsom, who is widely viewed as a future White House contender, is just the latest salvo in his flashy campaign against red state counterparts like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who he has deemed a threat to fundamental human rights in this country. With no serious threat to his re-election prospects this November, Newsom has sought to raise his profile nationally with the help of the prodigious war chest that he built up while successfully warding off a recall last year.
He aired $105,000 of ads on Fox News starting on July 4 targeting DeSantis as he told Floridians that freedom was under attack in their state -- citing DeSantis' restrictive moves to ban books and curtail access to abortion as well as the ballot box -- and inviting those who were bothered by the Florida governor's maneuvers to decamp to California. He then pledged $100,000 to Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee opposing DeSantis in November.
DeSantis has responded by calling attention to crime in California and some of the worst problems with homelessness in the nation.
From his political Twitter account on Tuesday, Newsom also noted the national stakes that have energized scores of moderate and progressive female voters ahead of the November elections as he drew attention to South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's new proposed national ban on abortion -- providing a link to California's new website as he argued that the GOP's agenda is about "controlling women."
Graham on Tuesday introduced a bill that would limit abortion after 15 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest or life of the mother. The South Carolina senator's move has divided the GOP caucus and complicated the path ahead for many candidates in his party who are seeking office in swing states where the majority of voters favor abortion rights. Many Republican senators, including Graham, have previously embraced the view that the decision on how to restrict abortion should be left to the states following the June Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
In California, which passed sweeping legal protections for both patients and providers who receive or offer abortion care after the June decision, Newsom is also advocating for and putting his financial weight behind a ballot measure that would amend the state constitution to guarantee the right to an abortion. In early September, the California Legislature also passed a package of about a dozen bills that would protect and expand access to abortion in the state.

A newly unsealed version of the affidavit that federal investigators used to secure a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago revealed some previously unknown details about the classified materials that former President Donald Trump gave to the Justice Department under subpoena in June.
The less-redacted version of the previously released affidavit was unsealed Tuesday by a federal judge in Florida.
It was previously known that Trump's lawyers provided one envelope to investigators, which contained 38 unique documents with classification markings, according to court filings. But the newly lifted redactions in the search warrant affidavit indicate that some of those classified files contained markings for "HCS, SI and FISA," according to court filings made public on Tuesday.
These classification markings indicate that the documents were connected to extremely sensitive government programs. "HCS" refers to human sources, or spies, that often work with the CIA. "SI" refers to signals intercepts that are typically handled by the National Security Agency. And "FISA" refers to domestic surveillance and wiretaps related to counterintelligence.
These new revelations confirm for the first time that documents related to these sensitive programs were returned to the US government as part of the June subpoena. Previous court filings indicated that when Trump voluntarily returned 15 boxes of materials to the National Archives in January, they contained 184 classified documents, including some with the same HCS, SI and FISA labels, as well as other classification markings.
Most of the information in the newly unsealed document has already been publicly disclosed, but the less-redacted version of the affidavit provides some new details about the investigation.
The now-lifted redactions in the search warrant affidavit shed some new light on the grand jury subpoena that federal investigators used to get surveillance tapes from Trump's company, which prosecutors used while probing potential mishandling of classified files at Mar-a-Lago.
A federal judge has previously said that this subpoena was served on June 24. The newly unredacted filing says the subpoena demanded that the Trump Organization turn over "any and all surveillance records videos images, photographs, and/or CCTV from internal cameras located on ground floor (basement)" between January 10 and June 24 of this year.
Trump's representatives complied with the subpoena on July 6 by giving a hard drive to FBI agents, according to the filing. It has been known that the Trump Organization handed over the surveillance footage, but the new filing adds some details about how and when they complied.
This story has been updated with additional reporting.

Justice Department criminal prosecutors are now examining nearly every aspect of former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election -- including the fraudulent electors plot, efforts to push baseless election fraud claims and how money flowed to support these various efforts -- according to sources and copies of new subpoenas obtained by CNN.
The investigation is also stretching into cogs of the sprawling Trump legal machine that boosted his efforts to challenge his electoral loss -- with many of the recipients of 30-plus subpoenas that were issued in recent days being asked to turn over communications with several Trump attorneys.
The sweeping effort has many in Trump world concerned about the potential legal significance of being caught up in a federal investigation.
The flurry of investigative activity has involved seizure warrants, including one served to Boris Epshteyn for his phone, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. Epshteyn remains a close aide to the former President and to his political and fundraising operation.
The widening pool of recipients of subpoenas also includes prominent Trump deputies, such as his former White House adviser Dan Scavino, who continued to work for Trump after he left office.
The subpoena language and activity bring together the seemingly far-flung parts of the DOJ investigation.
The Justice Department previously obtained grand jury testimony, conducted searches and nabbed extensive documents about rally organization and fundraising, about efforts in and around the White House to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to block certification of the election results, and about the fake electors. This new round of subpoenas drills down with more specific requests about the baseless claims of mass election fraud that were being peddled to legislators, law enforcement and others.
In one of the new subpoenas viewed by CNN, along with demands for communications with a lengthy list of Trump-world figures and fake electors, the investigators ask for documents related to the raising and spending of money. Prosecutors are interested in the financing around the January 6 rally, bids to challenge the results and the Trump-aligned political organization formed after the election to push fraud claims.
The assistant US attorneys signing the subpoenas are working as part of the team led by prosecutor Thomas Windom in the DC US Attorney's Office, according to court records and multiple people familiar with the investigation. Two DC US Attorney's Office supervisors appear on the subpoenas as well, indicating the latest sweep serves both the ongoing fake elector probe and the prosecution office's larger mission to target planning of violence before January 6, according to the sources familiar with the team's work.
The subpoenas also ask for the recipients to identify all methods of communication they've used since fall 2020 and to turn over to DOJ anything the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, has demanded -- whether they cooperated with the House panel or not.
"They're now encompassing individuals closer and closer to the President to learn more and more about what the President knew and when he knew it," David Laufman, an attorney and former federal prosecutor, said Monday on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."
There are no public indications that the DOJ's January 6 probe is overlapping with the federal investigation into the handling of classified documents from Trump's White House and seizure of materials from Mar-a-Lago. However, the latest developments in the 2020 election investigation come as the documents probe has already put Trump allies on high alert for potential legal exposure.
While those around Trump have brushed off the congressional investigation into the riot on January 6 as political, there is a palpable shift in demeanor when it comes to the Department of Justice probe, as allies and advisers recognize the significance of being looped into a federal investigation, according to multiple people in Trump's orbit. The Trump-world figures now swept up in the investigation claim the department is on a fishing expedition that is impeding on privileged communications.
"It's all very distressing to me as an American and as a prominent attorney for Donald Trump," said Bruce Marks, an attorney whose communications are of interest to investigators, according to the recently issued subpoenas.
Notorious for leaking, a usually verbose Trump world has fallen virtually silent in the wake of dozens of grand jury subpoenas being sent in recent days. Some subpoenaed have spent the last several days scrambling to find the right lawyers and understand the scope of what the Department of Justice is seeking from them. Others, already entangled in other Trump investigations, know the drill -- keep quiet until the dust settles.
An aggressive new phase as a pre-election quiet period starts
The burst of investigative activity came just as the Justice Department runs into its so-called 60-day rule, an internal policy that discourages prosecutors from taking public steps in cases that stand to influence a coming election.
Previously, investigators sought any records of interactions with a set of a dozen Trump officials, largely lawyers and those working with the fake electors including Rudy Giuliani, Epshteyn and John Eastman.
But the latest subpoenas also ask for communications with new names: high-profile right-wing Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Cleta Mitchell, as well as Marks, a lawyer based in Philadelphia who assisted with Trump's election appeals and in an attention-grabbing court case where Giuliani tried and failed to throw out all of Pennsylvania's electoral votes.
Marks told CNN on Tuesday that he was among Trump's lawyers after the election and was reporting to and communicating frequently with Giuliani and Epshteyn over text messages and emails about post-election efforts. Epshteyn was assisting Giuliani in much of his attempts to block the vote outcome electing Joe Biden.
The warrant served to Epshteyn, seeking his phone, is another signal of how the probe has escalated.
In June, the Justice Department seized the phone of Eastman, the Trump attorney who spearheaded the far-fetched legal theory that Pence could hold up Congress' certification of Biden's win. Federal investigators also that month searched the home of an ex-DOJ official, Jeffrey Clark, who was at the center of Trump efforts to pressure the department to support his plots.
Prosecutors' willingness to obtain a warrant for Epshteyn's phone hints that they see the campaign strategist -- who is currently an adviser to Trump -- as playing an integral role in Trump's 2020 election machinations. When the agents seized and imaged his phone, they also served him a subpoena for documents, according to some of CNN's sources.
Epshteyn did not respond to CNN's requests for comment about the search of his phone. The New York Times was first to report the seizure of his phone.
The wider net the department is now casting is also evident in the types of Trump-world figures who received the latest round of subpoenas. They include former campaign manager Bill Stepien and Sean Dollman, who worked for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign as chief financial officer, as well as Scavino, Trump's former deputy chief of staff and an architect of Trump's social media presence.
Also receiving a subpoena was Bernard Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner who worked with Giuliani to find evidence of voter fraud in the weeks following the 2020 election, as did Women for America First, the pro-Trump group that organized the rally that preceded the Capitol attack.
Kerik was approached by a handful of agents who tried to ask him questions, which he refused to answer and so they handed him a subpoena, a person familiar with the episode said. The agents asked if he would be willing to talk with an attorney present. Eventually the agents handed him the document.

‘I’ll never get over that’: Beechmont shooting victim’s family struggling to cope with his death
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The family of a man shot and killed in the Beechmont neighborhood is struggling to cope with their loved one’s death.
Jesse Reynolds, 29, was shot Sunday night near his home on E. Wampum Avenue. First responders rushed him to UofL Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
LMPD officers arrested Laron Spalding, 51, and charged him with murder and possession of a gun by a convicted felon.
Spalding pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday morning and his bond was set at $750,000 cash.
Tuesday afternoon, Reynolds’ mother and brother sat down with WAVE News.
“This is definitely the type of person that you’re not expecting to lose, definitely at the bottom of the list, out of nowhere,” Dylan Reynolds said. “And it’s definitely to the point now that everyday you wake up and you know it’s not a dream no more. It takes a second to realize what happened, but it ain’t a dream, and you’re stuck here with it like that.”
D. Reynolds told WAVE News his brother was his role model and was always there for him when he needed him.
He said when his brother was shot, he called their mother and drove with her to UofL Hospital, where J. Reynolds was undergoing surgery.
After awhile, surgeons told them Jesse was not going to survive his injuries.
“They told me my son was dead and I’ll never forget that; I’ll never get over that,” Kelly Pack said.
Pack told WAVE News her family learned about Tuesday’s court proceedings through news outlets and said it was positive to hear that Spalding’s bond had been set so high.
“I hope he lives every day knowing he took my son away,” Pack said. “And he took my Jesse away and he didn’t have a right. That’s what I would tell him, ‘you didn’t have a right to take my son from me.’”
D. Reynolds agreed.
”I hope to God that he lives every day knowing exactly what he did and I hope he feels bad for it,” he said. “For whatever reason he did it, I hope that he wakes up every day hating life because of the decision he made.”
Spalding is scheduled to return to court on September 21.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help Reynolds’ family pay for his funeral expenses.

Authorities are investigating the deaths of three children who were found unresponsive along a New York City shoreline early Monday after a family member reported concerns about their safety.
The children -- a 7-year-old boy, a 4-year-old girl and a 3-and-a-half-month-old girl -- were found in Brooklyn's Coney Island around 4:42 a.m., said New York Police Chief of Department Kenneth Corey.
The children died by drowning and their deaths are considered homicides, the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said Tuesday.
The kids' 30-year-old mother was questioned by police and then hospitalized after they found her Monday morning in Brighton Beach, adjacent to Coney Island, a law enforcement official said. She was under psychiatric evaluation at a hospital Tuesday morning, that source and another law enforcement official said.
The woman has not been charged with a crime, police said, and authorities haven't disclosed her condition.
All three children were pronounced dead at a hospital after first responders conducted life-saving measures, including CPR, Corey added.
"We don't know exactly what happened here," Corey said Monday during a news conference, stressing the information was preliminary.
There is no indication at this time of prior abuse or neglect of the children, authorities noted.
As investigators piece together what exactly happened to the children and the woman, here is what we know about how the events unfolded:
Search began with a 911 call
Police got a 911 call at 1:40 a.m. Monday from someone who was concerned a "family member may have harmed her three small children," Corey said. The caller asked police to check on the woman's Coney Island apartment.
When police arrived at the apartment, a man who identified himself as the father of one of the three children said he was also concerned, Corey added. The man told police he believed the woman and three children were at a boardwalk on Coney Island.
Another call leads to the shore
For about 90 minutes, police officers canvassed beaches, streets and a local hospital. Then another 911 call came in directing officers to a specific location -- Brighton 6th Street and Riegelmann Boardwalk in nearby Brighton Beach.
The caller reported a woman who was despondent, a police spokesperson told CNN.
When officers arrived, they found the woman and other family members with her. The children were not there.
The search continued via ground, air and harbor units. Around 4:42 a.m., officers found the children unconscious on the shoreline at West 35th Street in Coney Island, Corey said.
The Coney Island spot where the children were found is about 2 miles from where the woman was found -- and just a half-mile south of her apartment.
She was "soaking wet" when investigators made contact with her, said Corey, who noted it was not clear whether she'd been in the rain or in the water off the coast.
Mother often was with the baby and girl, worker says
By Tuesday morning, the shoreline where the children were found showed no sign of what unfolded a day earlier -- no crime scene tape, no police presence -- as just a few people walked along the beach and on the boardwalk.
The mother's apartment is in a roughly 20-story building a few blocks to the north, across a street from an elementary school and near a small shopping center, a grocery, a dental implant center and a pharmacy.
Leslie Torres, 33, who works near the building, used to see the 4-year-old girl playing outside with others. Torres didn't know about the boy, but the mother was often with the baby and the 4-year-old, Torres said Tuesday.
"We used to (see) them out here playing. We'd give them Popsicles. They were good kids," said Torres, who works in a school for home health care aides that backs up to the apartment building.
A resident of the building, Jessica Joubert, lit a prayer candle there Tuesday and taped onto a wall sign with the children's names and some artificial flowers.
She had seen the children before, she said.
"I see them all the time running in and out and, you know, very, very happy kids," Joubert said. "We're very heartbroken., you know, because no one wants to see this happen to anybody's kid."
Boy's father: He had a special humility
The 7-year-old boy was a kind, generous person with a special humility about him, his father told CNN on Tuesday morning.
"Anybody who met my son they would know that he is special," the father, Derrick Merdy, said.
He loved the video game character Sonic the Hedgehog. "I think I spent so much money buying him every last one of them," Merdy said.
The boy "had a humility about him that I can't even imitate, and I'm going to try my best to live like he did because he was so kind and generous," the father said.
"He was going to be great."
A person who used to work at a shelter for domestic violence survivors said the two older children were "sweet."
The 4-year-old girl liked to play dolls and other children, the former shelter worker told CNN. The boy was a superhero fan, said the person, who worked with those two children for six months in 2020 and 2021 -- before the birth of the third child.
"It's just heartbreaking to see. The children were always well-behaved and quiet. Beautiful souls. Mom was mostly quiet," the former shelter employee said.
The person, who didn't want to be identified publicly, said the mother did not associate with other residents but would occasionally participate in activities with the children.

Three January 6, 2021, rioters involved in one of the most brutal assaults on police during the attack at the US Capitol were found guilty on Tuesday of several felonies following a bench trial before a federal judge.
Patrick McCaughey was found guilty of nine counts, including assault with a deadly weapon, for an attack against Washington, DC, police officer Daniel Hodges. A video of the assault, in which Hodges screamed in pain as he was crushed against a doorway and had his mask ripped off his face, went viral shortly after the attack.
"The lower west terrace and the lower west terrace tunnel were the scenes of shocking violence and hostility towards police on January 6, 2021," District Judge Trevor McFadden said before handing down the verdict. "No police officer should have to endure these attacks."
"Mr. McCaughey used the force of his body, and used the force of other rioters behind him, to pin Officer Hodges" against the wall and "left him defenseless to other rioters," McFadden said, adding that Hodges was "crushed" and let out "gut wrenching cries of pain."
One of McCaughey's codefendants, Tristan Stevens, was also found guilty on nine charges. The other, David Mehaffie, was found guilty of four charges.
Both Stevens and Mehaffie were acquitted on a single count of obstruction of an official proceeding, as McFadden said that government prosecutors did not prove that the two knew the certification of Electoral College votes was underway inside the Capitol when they arrived.
Dozens of people sat quietly in the courtroom while McFadden handed down the verdict.
Once the almost two-hour hearing was over, McCaughey was remanded into custody and was not allowed to say goodbye to his mother, who was in the courtroom. Another supporter of McCaughey shouted at the US Marshals as they took McCaughey away in handcuffs and later cried in the hallway of the DC courthouse.
According to prosecutors, the three men engaged in the assault of police officers guarding a tunnel entrance to the Capitol on the Lower West Terrace -- a brutal scene where officers were beaten, crushed and even dragged out into the crowd in an hours-long attack.
McCaughey and Stevens battled police, prosecutors said, while Mehaffie directed members of the mob in and out of the Lower West Terrace tunnel.
The three men argued at various times during the trial that they were trapped in the mob, were trying to help officers, or did not know about the violence. But McFadden said that testimony from multiple police officers during the trial, including Hodges and former Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell -- both of whom have been outspoken about the events of January 6 -- as well as videos of the event undercut those claims.
According to Gonell, Stevens hit him several times with a stolen riot shield and attempted to steal another officer's baton.
"To this day, even after going through treatment for the trauma, I still struggle with the timeline. But I do remember your defendant and what he did," Gonell told Stevens' attorney.
Hodges testified that he was crushed in a doorway inside the tunnel by McCaughey, who was pushing against him with a riot shield. Prosecutors showed images of Hodges taken after the attack, with half of Hodge's face covered in blood and bruising and swelling across his body.
McCaughey, Stevens and Mehaffie will be sentenced in November.
Three other men charged in the attack, Robert Morss, Geoffrey Sills and David Lee Judd, were found guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding during a bench trial in late August. Morss and Sills were also found guilty of assault.

The West Virginia Legislature on Tuesday passed a bill that will prohibit nearly all abortions except to save a pregnant person's life or in certain cases that involve rape or incest.
House Bill 302 passed the state Senate in a 22-7 vote, and the House gave it final approval in a 77-17 vote. The bill now goes to Republican Gov. Jim Justice's desk for signature.
According to the engrossed draft of the bill, any physician or other licensed medical practitioner who intentionally or recklessly performs or induces an abortion in violation of the law could be subject to discipline, including losing their medical license.
Women who receive abortions will not face any penalties, according to the measure. It also allows some exceptions for victims of rape or incest as long as the incident is reported to law enforcement.
Alisa Clements, director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, said in a statement Tuesday that "there is nothing more extreme than a law that strips people of the freedom to govern their own bodies, and our state lawmakers have shamefully forced this despicable bill down our throats, behind closed doors in a matter of hours."

DETROIT (WXYZ) — The dispatch calls are chilling. The scene was chaotic.
Detroit Police Chief James White tells 7 Action News, “I just had 2 years on the job, 3 years on the job and that’s one of those days that will live in your brain forever.”
“It’s exactly like it happened yesterday,” says Mark Diaz who is a retired Detroit Police Officer and former President of the Detroit Police Officers Association.
Detroit Police officers close in on a van with kidnappers inside.
The men inside shoot out the back window with AK-47 assault rifles. 3 officers are hit. One died and two others would survive. That was in December of 1998.
Yesterday, Officer Lloyd “Mike” Todd passed away. His passing is in the line of duty.
7 Action News Reporter Kimberly Craig was on the scene in 1998 and reported then, “Officers Shawn Bandy and Lloyd Todd, two dedicated police officers shot in the line of duty. Officer Ramon Child was also injured in the weekend ambush.”
Diaz says today, “We were all kids back then for lack of a better term, in our 20s and some of them in their 30s. Shawn Bandy who was killed that day. He and I grew up together, went to high school together.”
Lloyd Todd was a hero to fellow officers, especially those in the 9th Precinct. Detroit Police Chief James White tells 7 Action News “he was paralyzed on the left side of his body. Lost his right eye. And he has lived a very challenged life ever since.”
The picture of Lloyd Todd will be added to the wall of fallen Detroit Police Officers where Shawn Bandy’s has been. They are the men and women who don’t come home. “So that’s the unfortunate reality of law enforcement. In order for us to do good, we have to confront the bad,” Diaz says.
The third officer injured is Ramon Childs who is still with DPD, working in records. “You’ve got people who are committed to this work. What he has gone through and showing up every day with what he has been through is incredible.”
The hero’s funeral for Officer Todd is in the planning stages. | https://www.fox17online.com/detroit-police-officer-shot-in-the-line-of-duty-dies-24-years-later-a-hero | 2022-09-14T03:38:03Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/detroit-police-officer-shot-in-the-line-of-duty-dies-24-years-later-a-hero | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

(WXYZ) — Michigan State University President Samuel Stanley confronted the news reports swirling around the university.
He made a brief statement Tuesday during an online meeting of the Faculty Senate.
Stanley did not address the talk from members of the MSU Board of Trustees that he was being forced out or asked to retire early. But he did stand by MSU's handling of Title IX sexual misconduct investigations at the center of the controversy.
Also Tuesday night, the board of trustees dodged a vote of no confidence by the Faculty Senate. But there was a lot of criticism about news leaks and actions from the board.

BOSTON (AP) — A package exploded on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston late Tuesday, and the college said a staff member suffered minor injuries.
Authorities said another suspicious package was found near a prominent art museum and the FBI was assisting with the investigation.
The parcel that blew up was one of two that were reported to police early in the evening. Boston's bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city's Museum of Fine Arts, which is on the outskirts of the Northeastern campus.
NBC Boston reported that the package that exploded went off as it was being opened near the university's Holmes Hall, which is home to the university's creative writing program and its women's, gender and sexuality studies program. It said the FBI was assisting the investigation.
Authorities declined to elaborate, but Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi said in a statement that an unidentified university staff member suffered minor injuries to his hand in the explosion.
Police converged on the campus shortly before 7:30 p.m., and the university asked students who had gathered for an evening journalism class at the hall to evacuate the building.
Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston. WCVB said one of its reporters, Mike Beaudet, was teaching a class there at the time. Beaudet told the station his class was moved outside but that neither he nor his students heard an explosion.
Michael Davis, chief of Northeastern's police force, told reporters the campus was secure. Boston police didn't say whether any other suspicious packages were found.
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both on the other side of the Charles River separating Boston from Cambridge, said they were increasing patrols on their campuses as a precaution and urging students and faculty to report anything suspicious.
Tuesday's packages marked one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others. | https://www.katc.com/news/national/package-explodes-on-boston-campus-1-injured-fbi-involved | 2022-09-14T03:47:59Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/national/package-explodes-on-boston-campus-1-injured-fbi-involved | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – In 1999, a pregnant victim of a fatal stabbing attack gave birth to her daughter during emergency surgery. Twenty years later, her daughter died. Now, officials have ruled her death a homicide as well.
In 1999, Danielle Scott was eight months pregnant when police say she was stabbed in Oklahoma City.
“The victim from that incident was taken to an area hospital where sadly, she died,” said Sgt. Dillon Quirk, with the Oklahoma City Police Department. “Simultaneously, doctors had performed a cesarean section.”
That’s when baby Kasiah Scott was born. She suffered life-long medical problems and lived at Bethany Children’s Health Center for 20 years.
Sadly, she died there on Nov. 23, 2019.
It wasn’t until this summer, over two years later, that the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide due to birth complications from when her mother was stabbed.
Quirk said the department’s investigators have taken over and will present the case to the district attorney’s office.
James Patrick Lesley and Ricardo Virgo Blonner, convicted of Danielle Scott’s murder in 1999, are currently in prison but could face new charges related to Kasiah’s death. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/national/23-years-after-pregnant-woman-fatally-stabbed-daughters-death-ruled-a-homicide/ | 2022-09-14T03:52:01Z | wwlp.com | control | https://www.wwlp.com/news/national/23-years-after-pregnant-woman-fatally-stabbed-daughters-death-ruled-a-homicide/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
3 men convicted for Jan. 6 attacks on Capitol Police
Three men were found guilty of felony and misdemeanor charges related to their role in the U.S. Capitol riot, the Department of Justice announced on Tuesday.
The big picture: Patrick McCaughey, Tristan Chandler Stevens and David Mehaffie were at the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol, the site of some of the heaviest violence during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Details: McCaughey, 25, of Ridgefield, Connecticut, and Stevens, 26, of Pensacola, Florida, "taunted officers," the DOJ said in a statement. Mehaffie "yelled at nearby rioters who were hesitating to illegally cross the outer perimeter."
- "If we can't fight over this wall, we can't win this battle!" said Mehaffie, 63, of Kettering, Ohio, according to federal prosecutors.
- After scaling the scaffolding and staircase, they directed other rioters to break into the building, the DOJ said.
- The DOJ added they participated in heave-hos against the police line, "using riot shields stolen from the Capitol Police, and assaulting three specific officers."
By the numbers: The Justice Department said the three men were found guilty of a combined 22 offenses, including counts of aiding or abetting or assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers,.
- Of the 22 charges, 14 are federal charges while eight are misdemeanor charges.
The big picture: More than 870 people have been arrested for crimes related to the breach of the Capitol, including over 265 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.
What's next: The three men will be sentenced in January 2023. | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/14/jan-6-attacks-police-three-men-convicted | 2022-09-14T04:04:16Z | axios.com | control | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/14/jan-6-attacks-police-three-men-convicted | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Incumbent Dan McKee has won the Democratic nomination for Rhode Island governor, according to unofficial results.
McKee defeated former CVS executive Helena Foulkes and Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, as well as former Secretary of State Matt Brown and activist Luis Daniel Muñoz.
McKee took over as governor last year when Gina Raimondo left for Washington, and campaigned on his work stabilizing Rhode Island in the wake of the pandemic.
Gorbea focused on her time as secretary of state, while Foulkes pointed to her private-sector experience.
Just before the race was called, Foulkes issued a statement saying she believed the race was too close to call.
“Democratic primary voters cast their ballots in a critical election that will decide the future of our state –thousands of those votes have yet to be counted,” she wrote. “This election is still too close to call, and we owe it to voters to ensure that every single ballot is counted.”
As McKee took the stage for his victory speech, he told a staffer to reject an apparent call from Foulkes.
A spokesperson for Foulkes told 12 News she had called McKee to concede.
“I did just try calling the governor, he would not accept my calls. I’m unhappy about that,” Foulkes later said in her concession speech.
WATCH: Live interview with McKee
Gorbea tweeted: Congratulations @GovDanMcKee on your win! With so much on the line right now, we need to make sure you win in Nov.
McKee will go on to face Republican Ashley Kalus in the general election on Nov. 3. | https://www.wpri.com/news/elections/mckee-wins-democratic-nomination-for-ri-governor/ | 2022-09-14T04:04:22Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/elections/mckee-wins-democratic-nomination-for-ri-governor/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Stefanik-backed Karoline Leavitt wins N.H. House GOP primary
Karoline Leavitt, a 25-year-old former aide to the Trump White House and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), on Tuesday won the Republican primary for a key swing U.S. House district in New Hampshire, according to the AP.
Why it matters: Leavitt’s win represents a victory for the conservative wing of the Republican Party at the tail end of the 2022 primaries, and sets the stage for what is expected to be one of the most competitive House races in the country.
The backdrop: Leavitt, a first-time candidate, struggled at first to break out of the pack in a crowded eight-person primary after launching her campaign last July.
- However, she steadily emerged as the main opposition to Matt Mowers, 33, a former state GOP chair and candidate for the seat in 2020.
- The GOP field also included Gail Huff Brown, a local TV journalist and wife of Scott Brown, who served as a U.S. senator from Massachusetts and later ran for Senate in New Hampshire before serving as the U.S. ambassador to New Zealand.
The state of play: The crowded race became a proxy battle between members of House GOP leadership, as well as the broader conservative and establishment wings of the party.
- Stefanik, the chair of the House Republican Conference and a vocal defender of former President Trump, endorsed Leavitt, her former communications director.
- Leavitt was also backed by conservative Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), as well as several members of the right-wing Freedom Caucus.
- Mowers, meanwhile, was backed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), as well as more establishment figures like former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Between the lines: New Hampshire holds a first-in-the-nation presidential primary, incentivizing prospective 2024 presidential candidates like Cruz, Pompeo and Haley to make endorsements there.
Yes, but: Mowers, a former Trump campaign aide, also had some conservative credentials, with support from Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), the chair of the conservative Republican Study Committee, and former Trump campaign managers Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie.
- He and Leavitt were mostly aligned on policy, and instead attacked each other as being insufficiently committed to the “Make America Great Again” cause.
The intrigue: If she wins in November, Leavitt will likely join 25-year-old Florida Democrat Maxwell Frost as the first members of Congress from Generation Z.
- Her age became a factor in the race, with Defending Main Street Super PAC running an ad calling her a “woke Gen Zer” who “records everything,” and playing candid videos she posted to social media.
What’s next: In November, Leavitt will face Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.), who ran unopposed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
- Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss-up, though Pappas had $2.3 million in cash-on-hand at the end of August compared to Leavitt’s $574,000, according to Federal Election Commission filings. | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/14/new-hampshire-gop-primary-election-results-karoline-leavitt | 2022-09-14T04:04:22Z | axios.com | control | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/14/new-hampshire-gop-primary-election-results-karoline-leavitt | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

$3.999 Warren
$3.996 Washington
Trend Analysis:
The national average price for a gallon of gas fell seven cents in the past week to reach $3.71, a level not seen since the beginning of March. The primary reason for this decline is the recent lower cost for oil. This trend has helped pump prices fall steadily for three straight months. Today’s national average is 26 cents less than a month ago but 54 cents more than a year ago.
At the close of Friday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate increased by $3.25 to settle at $86.79. Although a weakening dollar helped to increase crude prices at the end of the week, prices dropped earlier in the week amid ongoing market concerns that oil demand will fall if economic growth slows or stalls due to a recession. Additionally, EIA’s latest weekly report showed that total commercial crude inventories increased significantly by 8.9 million barrels to 427.2 million barrels.
According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand increased slightly from 8.59 million barrels per day to 8.73 million barrels per day last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose by 300,000 barrels to 214.8 million barrels. Although gasoline demand has increased slightly, lower oil prices have led to falling pump prices. If gasoline demand begins to subside, as it typically does post-Labor Day with the end of summer driving, pump prices could continue to decrease.

Clarion University Volleyball: Abigail Selfridge Named PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Week
LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) announced their weekly volleyball award winners on Monday.
Photo by Kirkland Photography
Clarion’s Abigail Selfridge earned PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Week honors after a strong week of action that also saw her crack a significant statistical milestone.
Selfridge became the 17th player in program history to top 1,000 career digs, as she helped the Golden Eagles to a 3-1 record at the Atlantic Region Crossover hosted by Wheeling and West Liberty. The junior libero totaled 81 digs over the four-match tournament for an average of 5.06 digs per set, as Clarion improved to 10-1 on the season.
Selfridge was also instrumental in the team’s win on the final day of the Wildcat Den Classic hosted by Daemen, with 18 digs in three sets against Franklin Pierce. The Golden Eagles swept all three matches at that tournament for what was their second straight tournament victory.
Through three weeks of preseason action, the Golden Eagles are one of just three teams – IUP and West Chester are the others – to have won at least 10 matches entering conference play. Selfridge ranks sixth in the PSAC overall and fourth among West programs with a 4.42 digs per set average. Clarion will open conference play on Tuesday, Sept. 13 against Mercyhurst.

Clarion Women’s Golf in 9th After One Round at Charleston
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The Golden Eagle women’s golf team kicked off their season with one of their best rounds in years on Monday, carding a team score of 351 on the first day of the Charleston Invitational at Edgewood Country Club.
That score left Clarion in ninth after 18 holes. Action will resume with the second round on Tuesday morning.
Clarion golfers shot a 351 over the first 18 holes, the best round for the team in nearly a decade. It was the lowest cumulative score for the Golden Eagles under head coach Gregg Fritz‘s tenure, and the lowest since they shot a 348 at the Seton Hill Invitational in September 2014.
Samantha Huth tied her career low round with an 81 on the first day, picking up two birdies and eight pars on the day to tie for 21st overall.
Fellow junior Sylvia Stibley did not post any birdies but avoided big numbers elsewhere on the course, finishing with a score of 85 that tied her for 33rd in the field.
Also carding an 85 on the day was Hailee Liptak, with the freshman from Beaver Falls also avoiding danger. Rounding out the top-four for the Golden Eagles was McLain Alt, who shot a 100, while Emily DeMartino carded a round of 110.

Man Pleads Guilty in Large-Scale Meth Distribution Ring in Area
PITTSBURGH, Pa. – A resident of Johnstown pleaded guilty in federal court to violation of federal narcotics laws related to a nine-month Title III wiretap investigation into drug trafficking in and around the counties of Jefferson, Clearfield, and Allegheny, United States Attorney Cindy Chung announced today.
Travis Williams, age 30, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possesses with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine before United States District Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand.
Williams was one of 47 defendants charged in six related indictments as part of the Return to Sender investigation.
In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that Williams was a methamphetamine distributor who obtained between 350 grams and 500 grams of methamphetamine as part of a large-scale methamphetamine distribution conspiracy and redistributed it to methamphetamine users.
Judge Wiegand scheduled sentencing for Williams on January 19, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. The law provides for a sentence of not less than five years to a maximum of forty years in prison, a fine not to exceed $5,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense(s) and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
The court ordered that the defendant remain on bond pending sentencing.
Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan D. Lusty and Michael R. Ball are prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Drug Enforcement Administration led the multi-agency investigation of this case, which also included the Homeland Security Investigations, United States Postal Service – Office of Inspector General, United States Postal Inspection Service, Internal Revenue Services, Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, Allegheny County Police, and Pennsylvania State Police. Also assisting were the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, Clearfield County District Attorney’s Office, and the Clarion Borough Police Department.
This prosecution is a result of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles high-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten communities throughout the United States. OCDETF uses a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.

PennDOT Accepting Applications for Transportation Improvement Project Funding
HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced on Monday that applications will be accepted through November 14, 2022 to fund transportation improvement projects under the Multimodal Transportation Fund (MTF).
Eligible applicants include municipalities, council of governments, business/non-profit organizations, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies, public airports, airport authorities, and ports and rail entities.
“Transportation needs to work for everyone,” said PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. “The MTF helps support projects that keep people safe and connected, no matter who they are or how they travel.”
Projects that will be considered should coordinate local land use with transportation assets to enhance existing communities; improve streetscape, lighting, sidewalk facilities, and pedestrian safety; improve connectivity or utilization of existing transportation assets; or advance transit-oriented-development. Projects are selected based on safety benefits, regional economic conditions, technical and financial feasibility, job creation, energy efficiency, and operational sustainability.
In the 2022-2023 fiscal year, 56 projects were awarded $47.8 million in MTF funding throughout 28 counties, including:
– Construction of safety improvements to Curtin Hollow Road in Boggs Township, Centre County;
– Replacement of Green Mountain Drive Bridge, a structure of significant structural concern in Smithfield Township, Monroe County;
– Completion of public safety and connectivity improvements at the Altoona Transportation Center in the City of Altoona, Blair County; and
– Transformation of a previously closed portion of Sylvan Avenue into a public trail for pedestrian and bicycle traffic in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County.
Act 89 established a dedicated Multimodal Transportation Fund that stabilizes funding for ports and rail freight, increases aviation investments, establishes dedicated funding for bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and allows targeted funding for priority investments in any mode.
PennDOT expects to announce grant recipients next year, and funding will become available in July 2023.
For more information about the program and previous years’ applications and awards, visit www.penndot.pa.gov and click on “Multimodal Program” under the “Projects & Programs” menu.
To submit a 2023-24 state fiscal year Multimodal Transportation Fund application, visit the “Multimodal Program” page, and click on the tile to prepare and submit a PennDOT MTF application.

PennDOT Phases in Newly-Designed Driver Licenses, Identification Cards
HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) on Monday announced that, as part of ongoing security enhancements, PennDOT is updating the design and enhancing the security features of its driver license and identification card products.
“The update is an important component of PennDOT’s ongoing work to enhance and protect the integrity of the driver license and identification card issuance process,” PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian said.
PennDOT is piloting the new products at the Summerdale Driver License Center in Enola beginning September 12, 2022. All Driver and Photo centers will transition to the new products by mid-November 2022. The new products will be phased in over the next four-year renewal cycle and will replace existing products.
The new products will be phased in during renewal cycles and will replace existing products. Both current and new card designs will be in circulation during the transition period.
Both standard and REAL ID-compliant products will use the new design and security features. REAL ID is optional in Pennsylvania, and customers are able to opt into REAL ID. Beginning May 3, 2023, Pennsylvanians will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, photo ID card, or another form of federally acceptable identification (such as a valid passport or military ID) to board a domestic commercial flight or enter a federal building or military installation that requires ID. More information about REAL ID can be on the REAL ID page on the Driver and Vehicle Services website.
The cards look different and have additional enhanced security features that improve fraud prevention and protect from counterfeiting and alteration.
Some of the enhanced features include:
– Guilloche Security Design, a feature that includes sophisticated techniques to embed a variety of customized security patterning into the credential, using non-commercial software developed specifically for high-security documents (banknotes, passports, ID cards, etc);
– Optically Variable Ghost Portrait and Variable Data with UV, features that change their appearance when the viewing angle of the card changes, which moves them from fully visible to non-visible. The card also includes an ultraviolet (UV) response that fluoresces under UV lighting. The UV response is fixed – visible under UV light regardless of viewing angle;
– Dynamic Look Through Element (DLTE), a dynamic feature with gold metallic tint that is visible under direct lighting.
The new cards comply with American Association of Motor Vehicle Association (AAMVA) 2020 specifications.
Customers may obtain a variety of driver and vehicle products and services, including all forms, publications, and driver training manuals, online through the Driver and Vehicle Services website.
Driver and vehicle online services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and include driver’s license, photo ID, and vehicle registration renewals; driver-history services; changes of address; driver license and vehicle registration restoration letters; ability to pay driver license or vehicle insurance restoration fee; driver license and photo ID duplicates; and driver exam scheduling. There are no additional fees for using online services.

Rimersburg Woman Charged With Allegedly Hindering Apprehension of Her Boyfriend Wanted on Warrants Due in Court Today
CLARION CO., Pa. (EYT) – A hearing for a Rimersburg woman facing charges for allegedly hindering the apprehension of her boyfriend who had active arrest warrants is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
According to court documents, a preliminary hearing for 33-year-old Kendra Marie McNaughton, of Rimersburg, is scheduled for Tuesday, September 13, at 2:00 p.m. in front of Magisterial District Judge Jeffrey C. Miller.
She faces the following charge:
– Hinder Apprehension/Prosecution – Harbor or Conceal, Felony 3
She is currently free on $2,500.00 monetary bail.
Details of the case:
On August 19, PSP Clarion responded to a residence on Pump Station Road, in Rimersburg, Clarion County, where Kendra McNaughton was the victim of harassment involving her boyfriend Zachery Steele, according to a criminal complaint filed on September 3.
It was noted in the complaint that Steele has warrants out of Clarion County.
McNaughton was informed at this time that Steele has warrants, and if he is located in her presence, she would be arrested for hindering the apprehension. She reportedly told police that she “wanted nothing to do” with Steele, according to the complaint.
On September 3, around 5:45 p.m., police went to the residence to speak with a minor who was living there.
According to the complaint, when troopers pulled into the driveway, Steele was observed running the weed eater around the house. He noticed the troopers and headed for the corner of the trailer, dropped the weed eater, and took off running.
Troopers came back to the rear of the house and spoke with a known male who advised that the children and McNaughton were inside the residence. McNaughton then came out of the residence, the complaint notes.
She was arraigned at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 3, in Judge Miller’ office.

A storm rolled through Rehoboth in the early morning hours of Tuesday, September 13th. It left behind plenty of property damage and left hundreds without power. Most of the damage occurred in neighborhoods, and any damage the downtown area sustained was minimal.
A tree through the back of one home, a smashed car, and broken power lines made up most of the property damage. One person who was without power after the storm says it left as quick as it came, but it caused a lot of chaos in the short time it was over Rehoboth.
"I was getting ready to go to the gym and then the storm got worse and about 5:15am, it really, really turned for the worst," said Bob Dieterly.
Dieterly says as the storm got worse, the wind picked up and he and his wife could hear objects flying into their roof.
"We heard some trees going down, pine cones flying around, and then we came out took a look outside, it was tough to see cuz the rain was horizontal, but it sure looked like my neighbors car had something on it," said Dieterly.
Dieterly's neighbor, Jerry Capone, did unfortunately have something on his car.
"I looked outside and I could see a red light, and I thought boy the emergency crews are here already, but instead it was my car," said Capone.
Crews were out in Rehoboth Beach helping to clean up and get those who lost power their electricity back. They were also chopping up any fallen trees and clearing debris from yards.
As the clean up continues, people are trying to remain positive.
"It's nice out, it's Rehoboth, it's a great place to be, so we'll do okay," said Dieterly.
That clean up process could take a few days, or even weeks depending on the severity of the damage. | https://www.wboc.com/news/an-unexpected-cleanup-effort-in-rehoboth-beach/article_f45608ac-33ce-11ed-a9e4-e329d19f0b4f.html | 2022-09-14T04:30:10Z | wboc.com | control | https://www.wboc.com/news/an-unexpected-cleanup-effort-in-rehoboth-beach/article_f45608ac-33ce-11ed-a9e4-e329d19f0b4f.html | 0 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | 1 |

A rare silver coin — valued at $1 million — that was looted from an archeological site in Israel has been returned to the country, Manhattan prosecutors said this week.
The quarter shekel was minted by Jewish rebels fighting the Roman empire during “The Great Jewish Revolt” in 69 C.E. and dug up in the Ella Valley years later.
The Israel Antiquities Authority learned in 2002 through multiple informants that the ancient coin — known as the “Year Four Quarter Shekel” — had been looted.
The coin is one of only two dating back to the revolt, which began in 66 C.E., that are known to exist. It was moved through the illicit antiquities markets until it was smuggled from Israel through Jordan to the UK, where it was offered at a London auction in 2017.
Homeland Security officials seized the coin later that year after collectors tried to sell it at an auction in Denver, where it was listed as having an estimated value between $500,000 and $1 million.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Antiquities Trafficking Unit took the investigation over and eventually sent the shekel home to Israel.
“We are honored to return the Quarter Shekel, an exceedingly rare coin that has immense cultural value,” DA Alvin Bragg said in a statement Monday.
“Despite the complexity of this investigation, our team of prosecutors, analysts and agents working with Israeli authorities, were able to track down this antiquity in just a matter of months.”
The shekel was returned at a repatriation ceremony on Monday attended by Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan.
“This singular artifact is a stark reminder of the Jewish people’s millennia-old connection to the land of Israel,” Erdan said in a statement, thanking authorities “for restoring this priceless coin to its rightful home.” | https://nypost.com/2022/09/13/looted-1-million-quarter-shekel-coin-returned-to-israel-by-nyc-prosecutors/ | 2022-09-14T04:30:13Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/13/looted-1-million-quarter-shekel-coin-returned-to-israel-by-nyc-prosecutors/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
DOVER, Del. - Eric Buckson beat out two candidates - including incumbent Colin Bonini - in Delaware's State Senate District 16 Republican primary on Tuesday.
Buckson came out on top with 51% of the vote. Challenger Kim Petters took 27% of the vote. Bonini, who was defending his longtime senate seat, came in third with 22% of the vote.
Buckson has served as a Republican representative for Kent County's 4th Kent County Levy Court District. He is currently serving his third consecutive four-year term.
Bonini has represented the Delaware Senate's 16th District since 1995. That district covers southern and eastern Kent County, along with a small portion of adjacent Sussex County.
Petters is an Iraqi war veteran who served in the U.S. Air Force on active duty for 10 years. She has degrees in early childhood education and public health.
Buckson will go into the Nov. 8 general election uncontested as there is no Democratic challenger for the Senate District 16 seat. | https://www.wboc.com/news/buckson-wins-delaware-senator-district-16-republican-primary/article_8867cb82-33d6-11ed-816f-23e737fbb20f.html | 2022-09-14T04:30:16Z | wboc.com | control | https://www.wboc.com/news/buckson-wins-delaware-senator-district-16-republican-primary/article_8867cb82-33d6-11ed-816f-23e737fbb20f.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
REHOBOTH BEACH, De. -- The damage from the storm left crews, residents, and businesses in clean-up mode to start the day. Linda Federman was awakened by the sounds of severe weather.
"The sound was like nothing we ever heard before," Federman said. "It just got more and more intense there was almost like a howling. I thought this is how people describe a tornado."
Fortunately, there were no tornados last night. The damage was caused by straight-line winds from a microburst which can produce strong winds. And, a localized blackout affected a few downtown businesses like Rise Up Coffee according to General Manager Hunter Schaeffer.
"So we realized right away when our gets here bight and early or dark and early 5:30 am that we were without power," Schaeffer said. "We had a big tree on Rehoboth Avenue went down and kind of blocked the entrance to town and took down the power lines so unfortunately for a few hours we were without power."

Even a gator’s gotta get his steps in.
A massive alligator was seen Tuesday morning slowly sauntering in the grass alongside a road in Katy, Texas — a city just west of Houston.
The 11-foot, 400-pound reptile was trapped by Texas Parks and Wildlife around 11:30 a.m., Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Constable Chad Norvell told the Houston Chronicle.
“Beautiful morning for a walk!” Norvell posted on Facebook along with a video of the gator walking down Peek Road, near the Buffalo Bayou.
Neighbors told the outlet the alligator had been strolling through the neighborhood since at least 5 a.m.
Rescuers found the gator lying down after his walk and were able to capture him easily, Norvell said. They put the reptile in the back of a pickup truck by using a tow truck and ropes.
The animal was taken to a sanctuary in El Campo, but not before area officials had some social media fun.
“His chip says he’s y’all’s Fulshear Police! Where do you want him dropped off?” Norvell wrote in a follow-up Facebook post, tagging the department located southeast of Katy.
“That little rascal! Where have you been. Bad boy! Thanks, please throw him in the bed of our high water rescue truck…” Fulshear Police commented back.
On Twitter, Norvell’s own unit posted an image of one of their own holding the gator with what looked like a leash.
“We checked with your wife, Deputy Onda. She said you can’t keep it!” the department quipped. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/13/massive-11-foot-alligator-seen-strolling-through-houston-suburb/ | 2022-09-14T04:30:25Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/13/massive-11-foot-alligator-seen-strolling-through-houston-suburb/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
GEORGETOWN, Del. - Incumbent Sussex County Council District 5 candidate John Rieley defeated challenger Keller Hopkins in Tuesday's Delaware Republican primary.
Rieley garnered 63% of the vote compared to Hopkins' 37%.
Rieley, of Millsboro, who has a farming background but also worked in food service and financial planning, has served on the council since 2018. He is seeking his second term.
Hopkins, who sits on the Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commission, owns a construction company and has been vocal about promoting growth and development in the county.
Some of Rieley's stated goals are maintaining the county’s strong fiscal management, protecting the environment, and expanding economic development opportunities through efforts such as broadband expansion.
He will face Democrat Billy Edwards in the general election in November. | https://www.wboc.com/news/rieley-wins-sussex-county-council-district-5-republican-primary/article_f3a4ad72-33cf-11ed-b1a7-0fac40a0d293.html | 2022-09-14T04:30:29Z | wboc.com | control | https://www.wboc.com/news/rieley-wins-sussex-county-council-district-5-republican-primary/article_f3a4ad72-33cf-11ed-b1a7-0fac40a0d293.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A teenage sex-trafficking victim who stabbed her accused rapist to death was ordered to pay $150,000 restitution to the man’s family and sentenced to five years of closely-supervised probation by a judge in Iowa on Tuesday.
Pieper Lewis was a 15-year-old runaway when she stabbed her 37-year-old abuser, Zachary Brooks, more than 30 times in a Des Moines apartment in June 2020.
Lewis, now 17, was originally charged with first-degree murder for the fatally stabbing. Last year, she pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and willful injury. Each charge is punishable to up to 10 years in prison.
Polk County District Judge David M. Porter deferred Lewis’ prison sentence on Tuesday— meaning if she violates her probation she could be sent to prison to serve 20 years.
The judge said Lewis was ordered to pay the estate of her rapist because the court was “presented with no other option,” adding that the restitution is mandatory under Iowa state law.
She will be moved to a halfway house in Des Moines where she will wear a GPS tracking device to ensure she does not fall “back into the lifestyle that you thus far left,” Porter said, according to the New York Times. She will additionally be required to complete 200 hours of community service.
She had run away from an abusive stepmother and was sleeping in the hallways of an apartment building when Christopher Brown, 28, took her in and began pimping her out to other men for sex, officials said. One of the men was Brooks, who raped her multiple times in the weeks before his death, Lewis said.
The teenager recalled being forced by the 28-year-old at knifepoint to go to Brooks’ apartment to have sex with him. After Brooks raped her again, she said she grabbed a knife from a bedside table and stabbed him.
Neither police nor prosecutors have doubted that Lewis was sexually assaulted, but prosecutors claimed she stabbed Brooks while he was asleep and was not a threat to Lewis at the time.
Lewis has spent the last two years locked up in a juvenile detention center, where she earned her GED while she was unable to communicate with her friends and family.
“My spirit has been burned, but still glows through the flames,” she read from a prepared statement before her sentencing “Hear me roar, see me glow, and watch me grow.”
“I am a survivor,” she added.
Prosecutors disagreed with Lewis referring to herself as a victim during the case. They said she failed to take responsibility for the killing and leaving Brooks’ children without a father.
The judge questioned Lewis over the choices she had made that led to Brooks’ stabbing.
“I took a person’s life,” she responded, according to The Times. “My intentions that day were not to just to go out and take somebody’s life. In my mind I felt that I wasn’t safe and I felt that I was in danger, which resulted in the acts. But it doesn’t take away from the fact that a crime was committed.”
She said she regretted what happened that day, “but to say there is one victim is absurd.”
Iowa is not one of the dozens of US states that have safe-harbor laws that give trafficking victims some degree of criminal immunity.
The Hawkeye State does have an affirmative defense law that presents some leeway to victims if the victim committed the crime “under compulsion by another’s threat of serious injury, provided that the defendant reasonably believed that such injury was imminent.”
Prosecutors argued Tuesday that Lewis waived that affirmative defense when she pleaded guilty to manslaughter and willful injury.

Two Edinburgh venues named in list of world’s 500 best bars
Top 500 Bars has unveiled its latest ranking – and two Edinburgh venues have bagged spots on the website’s annual list of the most influential bars in the world.
Top 500 Bars is a list that ranks the best bars on the planet, as decided by artificial intelligence and online data.
While the top 200 venues are still to be announced, the names of the top 201-500 have recently been announced.
To create the list, Top 500 Bars aggregated online data about cocktail bars from hundreds of sources, in more than 20 languages, in order to identify and rank the most influential 500 venues around the world.
Most Popular
The data collated was sourced from experts, journalists and influencers, as well as rankings, platforms and search engines that aggregate reviews from the general public.
Coming in at No.318 on this year’s list was Bramble, the Queen Street venue that has gained global renown for its incredible drinks selection and skilled mixologists.
Bramble is no stranger to plaudits. The hugely-popular New Town cocktail bar has featured multiple times on the 50 Best Bars list, while the New York Times once hailed it as a “premier destination” for any true drinks fan.
Elsewhere on this year’s Top 500 Bars list is The Devil's Advocate, which features at number 226.
Tucked away on Advocate's Close, just off the High Street, The Devil's Advocate's is a historic Edinburgh pub that offers great cocktails and a fabulous food menu boasting seasonal and Scottish ingredients that change monthly. | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/lifestyle/food-and-drink/two-edinburgh-venues-named-in-list-of-worlds-500-best-bars-3841896 | 2022-09-14T04:33:14Z | scotsman.com | control | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/lifestyle/food-and-drink/two-edinburgh-venues-named-in-list-of-worlds-500-best-bars-3841896 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Suicide prevention is a collective endeavour not helped by toxic public discourse – Eleanor Bird
Suicide is still the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in Britain, but the charity Mental Health UK has also reported that suicides among teenage girls and young women have almost doubled in recent years.
Studies have shown suicide was the leading cause of death among children and young adults in Scotland from 2011 to 2020 and that Scots living in the most deprived areas were twice as likely to take their own lives as those in the most affluent.
Analysis of the Scottish suicide information database has provided vital detail of the circumstances and characteristics, as well as greater knowledge to help develop more effective preventative action in the future to ensure that everyone can access the right help and support whenever they need it.
This year’s theme for World Suicide Prevention Day is “creating hope through action” and if the last few years have taught us anything, it’s surely that hope comes from humanity.

Throughout the significant and often unprecedented challenges we’ve faced together in recent years, it’s been each other – human beings – who we’ve relied upon. These societal curveballs would have been hard enough to negotiate without our own personal battles which, as we know, none of us is without.
I saw Alan Cumming talk about his new memoir ‘Baggage’ at the Edinburgh Book Festival this year. He was natural and hilarious and human as ever, but most striking for me was at the end of the discussion when this big Hollywood star spoke of a concept that’s all-too-often considered small – kindness.
There is no such thing as a small act of kindness, they’re momentous and powerful and can make all the difference. There aren’t nearly enough column inches dedicated to how much.
I spoke at my last full council before standing down as a councillor about how toxic I felt our discourse had become on some of the most important issues in front of us, which deserved not only a respectful tone but a truly inclusive debate. I did this purely in an attempt to raise awareness, which I only see as a good thing that we should all be open to, whether we have something to learn or something to teach, as we all do.
This year’s Suicide Prevention campaign is simply asking us to reflect on how we can support the people in our lives who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or be at risk of suicide.
The campaign is clear that by encouraging understanding and sharing experiences, we can create a society where people have the confidence to take action and build hope for the future.
It is a call, if one was needed in these increasingly difficult times, to come together again – to check in, to look after, to consider – and I have no doubt that we will.
Mental health does not only exist individually but collectively and never more so than today has our responsibility to each other as human beings and humanity been clearer.
World Suicide Prevention Day, a global opportunity to raise awareness of suicide and suicide prevention, was held on September 10. | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/suicide-prevention-is-a-collective-endeavour-not-helped-by-toxic-public-discourse-eleanor-bird-3841365 | 2022-09-14T04:33:21Z | scotsman.com | control | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/suicide-prevention-is-a-collective-endeavour-not-helped-by-toxic-public-discourse-eleanor-bird-3841365 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Although the historic Vernon School in Kansas City, Kansas, has been closed for decades, the former school lot was bustling Tuesday evening as Wyandotte County residents gathered to celebrate something special: 913 Day.
The festival featured vendors, live performances, food, and activities for children. It was the conclusion of an all-day celebration in Wyandotte County, with tours of the Quindaro ruin and $9.13 specials from participating local businesses.
Joycelyn Strickland-Egans, a longtime elementary school teacher in Kansas City, Kansas, had a booth at the festival selling children’s books that she wrote. Strickland-Egans said the celebration meant ‘everything’ to her.
“Our community has so much going on and people don't always hear about the great things. They sometimes focus on the negative things about Wyandotte County,” she said. “913 Day is important not just to the young people, but for those of us who have been around a while. It's a chance to celebrate community and bring awareness to the great things that are happening here.”
913 Day, named after the local area code, was first recognized by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas in 2020 as a “daylong celebration of all things great in Wyandotte County.” Three Wyandotte County men, Earnest Jackson, Samuel Lockridge and Kendon McClaine, worked with the Unified Government to officially proclaim Sept. 13 as 913 Day, but COVID put a damper on the festivities. Tuesday marked the start of what planners hope will be an annual festival.
Strickland-Egans said she's looking forward to celebrating the day again next year. For her, Wyandotte County has always been home.
“I don't think I would be this happy anywhere else. I know that sometimes people say if you live somewhere you are stuck there. And I'm not stuck here, I can go anywhere,” she said. “But I'm going to stay here and I want to give back to my community. They gave so much to me that it's my turn to give back.”
Sheyvette Dinkens, chairwoman of the event, said the day is not just for celebrating local businesses. Another important element is commemorating Wyandotte County’s history. The festival took place in the Quindaro neighborhood, which Dinkens said was once a bustling river town. It also was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
“I mean the older generation, right, they know all the history. But I think even some of the millennials and Gen X's and all those folks, they are really unaware of what the Quindaro ruins is,” Dinkens said.
Vernon School, where the festival took place, also has deep ties to Black history. Dinkens said it was the first Black school in Quindaro and became its own school district. Black children could not attend Kansas City, Kansas, public schools back then.
Kansas City, Kansas, resident LaShawn Davis, her daughter and 2-month-old granddaughter were shopping at the festival Tuesday. Davis said she went to support her sister who had a booth there, but also because she loves her community.
“It's about our culture. I think we're underestimated a lot. I think a lot of people think that we're all just cornfields and everything,” she said. “I've noticed now more than ever that we have been coming together as a community more and more in Wyandotte County. 913 has been growing. And I'm super proud of it.”
Davis said Wyandotte County has always been her home.
“I've been here all 40 years of my life and I don't think I'm planning on going anywhere,” Davis said. “It’s just me, I’m just the 913 girl." | https://www.kcur.org/news/2022-09-13/tired-of-being-underestimated-wyandotte-county-celebrates-itself-on-913-day | 2022-09-14T04:36:03Z | kcur.org | control | https://www.kcur.org/news/2022-09-13/tired-of-being-underestimated-wyandotte-county-celebrates-itself-on-913-day | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
A review of Wasiu Dolamu Akindele’s book, Risk-Based Approach To Financial Auditing by Musa, Inuwa Fodio.
This book is a product of over 30 years of Wasiu Dolamu Akindele’s experience as an auditor in professional and civil service career.
In the course of this review, the audience will get to appreciate the enormous wealth of practical experience and skills the author has brought to bear in the compilation of this book; significantly rich in content, from both theoretical and practical perspective..
A masterpiece in its own right, this book contributes to the area of auditing that has remained extremely dry in Nigeria and other parts of the world, especially in the public sector space. Indeed, textbooks in the area of Risk-Based Approach (RBA) to auditing in the public sector are currently rare to come by as the area is still evolving.
The content of the book covers the nitty-gritty of RBA and has been arranged in a philosophical and logical sequence. The scope of coverage ranges from conceptual definitions to preliminary engagement, audit plan, RBA audit process, audit strategy, down to audit risk determination, audit evidence gathering, audit documentation and concluding with audit report.
This arrangement is in tandem with the input-process-output phases of an audit exercise.
The first part of the book sets the ball rolling by establishing the nexus that binds financial statements with audit of financial statements and risk-based approach to financial audit.
Lesson one conceptualises audit risk and highlights audit risk typologies.
Lesson two uses ISSAIs (1300-Planning an audit; 1220-independence; 1210-engagement) to succinctly explain the preliminary activities involved at the preliminary stage of an audit.
In lesson three, the book provides a summary of the audit process involved in a risk-based approach to financial auditing. It outlines the risk assessment procedures required to be carried out by an auditor in accordance with ISSAI 1315.
Lesson four discusses in detail audit plan with emphasis on the components of a comprehensive audit plan as required by ISSAI 1315.
The auditor’s responsibilities in relation to financial statements generally and risk assessment in particular are discussed in lesson five.
Lesson six discusses the process for developing audit strategy. It defines some basic concepts that are relevant to overall audit strategy and highlights the practical procedures for determination of audit materiality (which encompasses overall and performance materiality).
In lesson seven, the book highlights the various business risks which the auditor should assess and captures the risk matrix indicators that the auditor is expected to use in determining and assessing risk.
Lesson eight takes a critical look at an entity’s control environment, with emphasis on the five elements contained in ISSAI 1315 framework for understanding, documenting and evaluating an entity’s internal control.
The book delves into discussion on misstatements, assertions and controls in lesson nine. It highlights, in line with ISSAI 1315, the process of identifying and assessing risks of material misstatements at the financial statement level and assertion level; covering classes of transactions, account balances, presentation and disclosure.
In lesson 10, the book discusses the methods that should be utilised by the auditor to obtain audit evidence at the execution phase for the purpose of testing controls and carrying out substantive procedures as well as evaluating the sufficiency and appropriateness of audit evidence.
Lesson 11 dwells on audit documentation including the appropriate working papers that should be used in documenting the audit work carried out to support the auditor’s conclusion and opinion.
The last lesson explains the nature of the final output of an audit exercise- the audit report, as required by ISSAI 1700. It discusses the four different types of audit opinion that can be expressed by the auditor as well as the constitutional, legal and regulatory requirements for audit opinion in Nigeria (as contained in the 1999 amended Constitution of FRN, Finance (Control & Management) Act, 1958, and Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007). The lesson also depicts the format of an auditor’s report for practical guidance.
The book may appear small in outlook but is extremely rich in content, a practical demonstration of the accounting standard of substance over form.
It is undoubtedly suitable for both academic and practical training in auditing generally and risk-based financial auditing in particular.

Lawyer and lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Lead City University, Ibadan, Tobilola Awotoye, has explained why he wrote his book, ‘Introduction to Criminal Law in Nigeria.’
Awotoye, who holds Bachelor’s degrees in Law and Public Administration, and a Master’s degree in Criminal Law, during the public presentation of the book recently in Ibadan, said the idea to write the book came during a class while trying to break down some legal concepts to his student.
“I discovered that most textbooks on this subject are a bit technical for the average student of law,” he said.
He stated that the 380-page book – with 15 chapters and two appendices – can also be a quick reference guide to the bar and the bench, as it is annexed with a glossary of terms with authorities for easy accessibility.
He acknowledged that the book is not a perfect one, adding that he takes full responsibility of any error or mistake found in either the structure or body of the book.
While commending the author for writing the book, Dr Damilola Adeyemo, said that the book is not only apt and well-researched, but also contains recent cases and judgments.
The reviewer of the book, Mr Osas Justy Erhabor, stressed that a law book is not something that is written out of inspiration.
He added that the difficult nature of writing a law book is that the law is dynamic; that as an author is concluding a chapter, the law might have changed; that the law is not certain, as different lawyers may have different interpretations to a sentence.
However, he added that learned authors are always ahead of lawyers and judges, because they are the ones who look at judgments, dissect and critique them, and explain how the law ought to be.
Erhabor, while commending Awotoye for writing the book, noted that the cover of the book is simple and the content is easy to comprehend by lawyers and people who are not lawyers.
“This is a book everyone should read,” he said, “books are some of the legacies we leave behind that live forever. Solutions will be found reading this book.”
The book launch was handled by Kunle Adeniyi, who was represented by Professor Wasiu Babalola.
Family, friends, teachers, colleagues, and students of the author commended and congratulated him for the book.

SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Given how rare points on the road have been for the Los Angeles Football Club lately, the team can feel fortunate when it secures any.
Carlos Vela scored the tying goal in the 64th minute, then LAFC staved off a pair of late threats to salvage a 1-1 tie with Minnesota United on Tuesday night at Allianz Field.
It marks just the second time in six matches that Western Conference-leading LAFC (19-8-4, 61 points) earned a point. LAFC had lost four of its previous five matches and its last four road games.
“It was very good to see Carlos score one of those goals,” LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo said. “It’s a great sign for him, it’s a great sign for us, and maybe not such a great sign for the opponents.”
Brent Kallman scored for Minnesota (13-12-6, 45 points), which ended a three-match losing streak. The Loons are tied for the fifth-most points in the West with the Portland Timbers.
Minnesota United had two major chances in the final two minutes before settling for a tie.
First, a long pass went downfield for Emanuel Reynoso and LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau came forward, but the ball took a high bounce over his head. Just as Reynoso was first to touch the ball, LAFC’s Kellyn Acosta was able to knock it away before Reynoso could take a shot.
Then in the fifth and final minute of stoppage time, the Loons’ Jonathan Gonzalez sent a header just wide of the net.
Reynoso, Minnesota’s leading scorer, played the entire match after missing the team’s previous game with an ankle injury.
Minnesota was outscored 7-0 during its three-game slide.
Dayne St. Clair made two saves for Minnesota, while Crepeau had one for LAFC.
The Loons had a 12-10 edge in shots, but LAFC held a 3-2 advantage in shots on target.
Kallman gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead in the 45th minute. Reynoso took a corner kick and sent a cross toward the net. Kallman rose up and headed the ball past Crepeau for his second goal of the MLS campaign.
LAFC evened the score 19 minutes into the second half when Vela sent a hard left-footed blast from beyond the box into the left corner of the net for his ninth goal of the season.
Before Kallman’s goal, both teams missed big chances in the first half.
Minnesota’s Luis Amarilla hit the right post in the 21st minute, while Reynoso put a close-range shot just wide right in the 39th minute.
Vela chipped a shot over the net for LAFC in the 33rd minute, while Cristian Arango sent a close-range header left of the net in the 43rd minute.
Arango, who has a team-best 16 goals, was subbed out of the match at halftime.

NEW YORK — The Emmy Awards hit a new low in viewership on Monday night, with its estimated audience of 5.9 million people even smaller than the COVID-19-disrupted ceremony two years ago.
The Nielsen company said the ceremony honoring television's best work, where “Ted Lasso” was named best comedy and “Succession” best drama, was down from the 7.4 million people who watched in 2021.
Usually shown on a Sunday night, the Emmys were shifted to Monday to make way for NBC's first “Sunday Night Football” game the night before. It couldn't escape football, however, since it competed against a tight “Monday Night Football” game.
The Emmys were hosted by Kenan Thompson of “Saturday Night Live.”
The previous low point for the Emmys, with 6.1 million people, came with a drastically downsized show because of the pandemic in 2020.
While football had its impact, Emmys ratings have been on a steady slide since the awards began to be dominated by shows on cable and streaming services. With so many more television programs being offered, there are fewer that draw the big audiences that were routine in the days when broadcast television dominated.
The last time the Emmys exceeded 10 million viewers was 2018, when it reached an audience of 10.2 million. The Emmys had 21.8 million viewers in 2000, a level it will probably never reach again. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/entertainment-news/emmy-awards-viewers/507-ade327dc-4ae5-40b8-a412-7f04d103989e | 2022-09-14T04:57:14Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/entertainment-news/emmy-awards-viewers/507-ade327dc-4ae5-40b8-a412-7f04d103989e | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
WASHINGTON — U.S. inflation is showing signs of entering a more stubborn phase that will likely require drastic action by the Federal Reserve, a shift that has panicked financial markets and heightens the risks of a recession.
Some of the longtime drivers of higher inflation — spiking gas prices, supply chain snarls, soaring used-car prices — are fading. Yet underlying measures of inflation are actually worsening.
The ongoing evolution of the forces behind an inflation rate that's near a four-decade high has made it harder for the Fed to wrestle it under control. Prices are no longer rising because a few categories have skyrocketed in cost. Instead, inflation has now spread more widely through the economy, fueled by a strong job market that is boosting paychecks, forcing companies to raise prices to cover higher labor costs and giving more consumers the wherewithal to spend.
On Tuesday, the government said inflation ticked up 0.1% from July to August and 8.3% from a year ago, which was down from June's four-decade high of 9.1%
But excluding the volatile categories of food and energy, so-called core prices jumped by an unexpectedly sharp 0.6% from July to August, after a milder 0.3% rise the previous month. The Fed monitors core prices closely, and the latest figures heightened fears of an even more aggressive Fed and sent stocks plunging, with the Dow Jones collapsing more than 1,200 points.
The core price figures solidified worries that inflation has now spread into all corners of the economy.
“One of the most remarkable things is how broad-based the price gains are,” said Matthew Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. "The underlying trend in inflation certainly has not shown any progress toward moderating so far. And that should be a worry to the Fed because the price gains have become increasingly demand-driven, and therefore likely to be more persistent.”
Demand-driven inflation is one way to say that consumers, who account for nearly 70% of economic growth, keep spending, even if they resent having to pay more. In part, that is because of widespread income gains and in part because many Americans still have more savings than they did before the pandemic, after having postponed spending on vacations, entertainment, and restaurants.
When inflation is driven mainly by demand, it can require more drastic action from the Fed than when it's driven mainly by supply shocks, such as an oil supply disruption, which can often resolve on their own.
Economists fear that the only way for the Fed to slow robust consumer demand is to raise interest rates so high as to sharply increase unemployment and potentially cause a recession. Typically, as fear of layoffs rises, not only do the jobless reduce spending. So, too, do the many people who fear losing their jobs.
Some economists now think the Fed will have to raise its benchmark short-term rate much higher, to 4.5% or above, by early next year, more than previous estimates of 4%. (The Fed’s key rate is now in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%.) Higher rates from the Fed would, in turn, lead to higher costs for mortgages, auto loans and business loans.
The Fed is widely expected to raise its benchmark short-term rate by a substantial three-quarters of a point next week for a third consecutive time. Tuesday's inflation report even led some analysts to speculate that the central bank could announce a full percentage point hike. If it did, that would amount to the largest increase since the Fed began using short-term rates in the early 1990s to guide consumer and business borrowing.
Even though headline inflation barely rose last month, underlying inflation, which reflects broader economic trends, worsened. A measure that the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland uses to track median inflation, which essentially ignores categories with the biggest price swings, rose 0.7% in August. That was the biggest monthly increase since records began in 1983.
Higher prices have yet to cause much of what economists call “demand destruction” — a pullback in spending that could quell inflation. Though higher gas prices have caused Americans to drive less, there isn't much evidence of significant cutbacks elsewhere.
Restaurant prices, for example, jumped 0.9% in August and have risen 8% in the past year. But that hasn't noticeably discouraged people from going out. Restaurant traffic has surpassed pre-pandemic levels on Open Table, an app that tracks reservations, and was still increasing into September.
Overall, consumers have largely kept up their spending, even with rampant inflation, though perhaps through gritted teeth. In July, spending rose 0.2% after adjusting for higher prices.
The spread of inflation into services, such as rental costs and health care, largely reflects the impact of higher wages. Hospitals and doctors' offices have to pay more for nurses and other staff. And as more Americans find jobs or get raises, they're able to move out from family homes or split from roommates. Rental costs have increased 6.7% in the past year, the most since 1986.
Wages and salaries jumped 6.7% in August from a year earlier, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's wage tracker, the biggest increase in nearly 40 years. And Luzzetti noted that the same data shows a record wage premium for people who switch jobs, compared with those who stay put. That means employers are still offering big raises to try to fill jobs.
Economists had hoped that rising services prices would be offset by falling costs for goods such as new and used cars, furniture, and clothing, after those items spiked in the pandemic. As supply chain backups improved, a better flow of such goods were expected to bring prices down.
Yet so far, that hasn't happened.
“We’ve seen shipping costs come down, we’ve seen supply chain congestion ease a little bit, production has improved and inventories have risen,” said Laura Rosner-Warburton, senior economist at MacroPolicy Perspectives. “So all of that suggests some supply side improvement. And yet companies are still putting through large price increases for those goods, and that’s problematic.”
Such trends could renew the debate over how much corporations' ability to raise prices has been fueled by a lack of competition, a phenomenon referred to as “greedflation.” But most economists attribute the ability of companies to still charge more to consumers' willingness to pay.
“It appears that retailers are now raising prices because they can, not because they have to. Consumer demand is still too strong,” said Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies, an investment bank, in a research note. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/us-inflation-grows-more-persistent/507-6a4e41e4-c2aa-42cf-bcbc-ecfe23204bbd | 2022-09-14T04:57:20Z | krem.com | control | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/us-inflation-grows-more-persistent/507-6a4e41e4-c2aa-42cf-bcbc-ecfe23204bbd | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — Testifying Tuesday in the criminal obstruction trial of ex-Uber security chief Joe Sullivan, a top privacy attorney for the ride-hail giant said Sullivan kept her in the dark about a serious 2016 hack of company data servers even as Uber was under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission for a very similar hack that happened two years earlier.
Sabrina Ross said she was “upset” and “surprised” to learn about the 2016 data breach just months after her team collaborated on a settlement agreement with the agency over earlier allegations that Uber failed to protect its users’ sensitive personal information.
Ross said she was on maternity leave in late summer 2017 when she became aware of the second breach. “I started getting phone calls from people I knew at law firms because it had hit the press, so they were reaching out to see if we needed representation,” Ross said. “I was upset.”
Ross and other members of Uber’s in-house legal team had been working for months with outside counsel at Perkins Coie on a settlement with the FTC. She said her department collaborated closely with engineers who worked under Sullivan.
By 2017, Ross said Uber’s legal team began discussing plans to encourage the FTC to close its investigation, which had been ongoing for two and a half years. “Joe was supportive of proceeding with the recommendation to settle,” Ross testified.
On April 7, 2017, Ross sent Sullivan and Uber General Counsel Salle Yoo a preliminary draft of a letter she planned to send the agency.
“I recommend sending this letter to the FTC this week urging closing of its 2.5 year privacy/security investigation into Uber," Ross wrote. "In essence, we argue 1) Uber's record of cooperation and engagement with FTC staff over the last 28 months has been exemplary. 2) even before the receipt of compulsory process, Uber came forward to provide information on a voluntary basis and has proved exhaustive information to staff. 3) the data security incidents at issue reflect no misdirected priorities, no failure to appreciate risks, and no lack of data security knowledge or care.”
The letter adds, “The FTC has had ample time to investigate, issues and should no longer be holding, open an indefinite fishing expedition. While the letter may prompt further activity on the matter, we believe insight into their theory of a case (if any) is preferable to ongoing uncertainty.”
A few minutes later, Sullivan responded “Letter looks ok to me. Thanks.”
Ross testified that at no point did Sullivan ever tell her that another data breach had occurred months earlier, where two hackers made off with the personal data of 57 million app users, including names, email addresses and phone numbers, along with 600,000 driver’s license numbers.
Uber fired Sullivan in 2017, and in 2020 the feds charged him with one count of obstruction and one count of hiding a felony from authorities. His trial marks what's said to be the first criminal prosecution of a tech company executive for an alleged data breach.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Dawson asked Ross repeatedly about her knowledge of the second hack around the time Uber was responding to the FTC’s questions about its security practices, talks she said Sullivan would have been aware of as head of Uber's security division.
“In the course of meetings and emails with Mr. Sullivan, did he mention there was another incident that may be relevant to FTC's investigation?” Dawson asked.
Ross answered, “No.”
Dawson asked Ross if Sullivan had ever informed her that as of 2016, it still stored unencrypted user information on servers hosted by Amazon Web Service (AWS) — one of the primary security flaws that prompted the FTC probe.
“He had not,” she said.
Sullivan’s defense argued it was not Sullivan's responsibility to report the second breach to regulators and that “lawyers took the helm in submitting responses to the FTC.”
Defense attorney David Angeli elicited testimony from Ross on cross-examination that her interactions with Sullivan overall were fairly limited, and that she would mostly seek out members of his security group to provide technical information as needed.
Sullivan's lawyers also pointed to Craig Clark, Uber's in-house legal director for security who was ousted alongside Sullivan in 2017 as the person responsible for reporting data breaches to the FTC.
Angeli noted Clark was well aware of the 2016 hack since he helped Uber's security response team draft the nondisclosure agreements the two hackers eventually signed in exchange for a $100,000 ransom.
Clark also received a draft of the legal team’s letter to the FTC. On April 10, 2017, he had this comment to share: “Does it feel a little too verbose and maybe martyr-ish?”
The FTC settlement required Uber to improve its security practices and allow independent auditors to track its progress for 20 years. Because of the 2016 breach, the settlement was revised to subject Uber to civil penalties if it ever again deceives the FTC about future breaches.
Ross is now director of privacy and public policy at Facebook parent Meta, where Sullivan previously worked as chief of security.
Dawson showed the jury one written comment Sullivan made regarding Facebook's past run-in with the FTC that said: “The process at FB [Facebook] was hugely burdensome for innovation.”

OAKLAND, Calif. (CN) — Environmental advocates claim in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday that the Biden administration ignored the best available science by denying endangered species protections for some West Coast fishers.
In a complaint filed Tuesday, the Center for Biological Diversity, Environmental Protection Information Center and Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has ignored data about danger to fishers. These small animals are relatives to minks, otters and wolverines and are about the size of a house cat.
These animals once thrived in Washington state, Oregon and part of California, hunting prey like snowshoe hares and mountain beavers and eating insects and berries. The fisher’s remaining native populations are limited to Northern California and southern Oregon and the southern Sierra Nevada. Some have been reintroduced by translocation into Washington state, the southern Oregon Cascades and the northern Sierra Nevada.
Historically threatened by fur trapping before the practice was largely banned in the 1950s, the fishers in Northern California-southwestern Oregon make up the largest remaining population but are severely threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation caused by logging and devastating wildfires. Noting that “fisher habitat is highly fragmented in many parts” of the Klamath-Siskiyou region, Fish and Wildlife found the Northern California and southern Oregon population is particularly vulnerable to wildland fire and vegetation management like salvage logging, as well as rodenticide use. In the 20 years since the plaintiffs petitioned to list the species, these threats have not abated and in some cases are increasing.
“From rodenticide poisoning to habitat loss from logging and fires, these tenacious critters face significant threats to their continued existence,” said George Sexton, conservation director at Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center.
"These tenacious animals can eat porcupines, but they can’t survive the damage we’re doing to their forests," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the center. "Fishers needed Endangered Species Act protection 20 years ago, and they need it even more today.”
“The Fish and Wildlife Service has a legal obligation to list species at threat of extinction but politics too often intervenes,” said Tom Wheeler, executive director at the Environmental Protection Information Center. “For 20 years, the service has employed every trick to avoid listing the fisher. Today we are in court because enough is enough.”
The advocates say in their complaint that Fish and Wildlife's decision to deny protections to the Northern California and southern Oregon fishers runs “counter to the evidence before the agency and relies on rationales already rejected in previous litigation.” They also say the department’s 2020 final rule on the issue provides no explanation as to whether fishers in the area outside of these two new regions warrant Endangered Species Act protection.
‘’The service fails to offer any rational explanation for its new, about-face conclusion that wildland fire does not threaten the continued existence of the Northern California and southern Oregon population, particularly since the best available scientific information demonstrates that the service’s earlier predictions were correct. A loss of the Northern California/southern Oregon DPS would mean the majority of the fishers in the West Coast States would be lost,” the center says in its complaint.
Fish and Wildlife granted protections to fishers across the West Coast in 2004 after the center petitioned. In 2010, the center sued Fish and Wildlife for lack of expeditious progress on the West Coast fisher listing petition. The parties reached a settlement in 2011 requiring Fish and Wildlife to issue a proposed rule or “not warranted” finding by 2014.
The agency's 2014 proposed rule concluded the West Coast fisher met the definition of a threatened species due to low populations and ongoing or new threats. But the agency later reversed course in 2016 and 2020 to only protect fishers in the southern Sierra Nevada.
The plaintiffs now want a judge to find Fish and Wildlife’s failure to address the entire scope of their petition, and the department’s 2020 final rule, violate the Endangered Species Act and Administrative Procedure Act. They also want the judge to order the agency to make a determination consistent with both acts within one year.
A Fish and Wildlife spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

MEXICO CITY (CN) — Family members of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange held a series of protests and press conferences this week during a visit to Mexico City.
John and Gabriel Shipton, Assange’s father and brother, accepted an invitation from President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to attend Mexico's annual Independence Day military parade on Friday.
“Your president — which everybody affectionately calls AMLO — we acknowledge his courage and understanding,” said John Shipton to a packed lecture hall of Assange’s supporters at Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) Tuesday.
“That he has begun by saying to the United States that Julian must be free and is welcome in Mexico — this, to us, is pure gold,” he said.
Assange has been in jail in England since April 2019, after a U.K. court found him guilty of jumping bail when he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012.
He faces extradition to the United States and up to 175 years in jail for publishing classified documents related to the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, among other government secrets.
In June, Assange’s lawyers sued the CIA, accusing the agency of spying on him while he was in the Ecuadorian embassy.
“The legal proceedings in the U.K. are just a thin veil that is held in front of Julian’s persecution,” said Gabriel Shipton at Tuesday's conference.
He called the security company hired by the Ecuadorian embassy a “CIA asset” and accused the agency of installing cameras and microphones in the facilities in order to record Assange’s meetings with lawyers, doctors, journalists and other visitors.
“This legal proceeding — you have one side that has all the knowledge of the legally privileged conversations with Julian and his lawyers, all his legal documents, which is no legal proceeding at all,” he said.
Gabriel also extolled the effects of his brother’s work with WikiLeaks on Mexican society, saying that it allowed people to make more informed decisions about their government.
“What Julian published in the cables exposed politicians in Mexico who weren’t actually working for the people, they were working for the United States,” said Gabriel.
Originally published by the Spanish newspaper El País, the nearly 3,000 documents related to Mexico put the disastrous drug war started by President Felipe Calderón in 2006 in stark relief, revealing that the military initiative was not going as smoothly as both governments had previously tried to make it appear.
“And it was with that information that the Mexican people have been able to forge themselves a new path,” said Gabriel.
Mexico, however, continues down a path fraught with violence and insecurity, especially for Assange’s colleagues: journalists.
It is considered the most dangerous country for the profession outside of active traditional war zones, and López Obrador has been criticized for worsening the situation with his rhetoric toward reporters that find fault his policies and agenda.
This year has been the deadliest on record for journalists in Mexico, with 16 murdered so far. The federal government’s Mechanism for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders and Journalists has been widely condemned for its ineffectiveness.
But while dismissing his critics in the Mexican press as "mercenaries" and "conservative coup-stagers," López Obrador campaigns for Assange's release. He offered Assange asylum in Mexico earlier this year.
“AMLO’s been championing my brother’s cause for years now,” Gabriel said in a phone interview. “He wrote letters to Trump when Trump was doing his pardons at the end of his term in office. He’s called out Biden many times.”
In July, López Obrador said that the United States should “dismantle the Statue of Liberty” if it extradites Assange.
While he said he could not comment on López Obrador’s treatment of the press or the specific threats journalists face in Mexico, Gabriel said: “Press freedom and freedom of communication is important everywhere, not just reporting on the U.S. or other states. We stand up for freedom of communication, for freedom of speech, for press freedom wherever we go, whether it’s here in Mexico or in the U.K. or in the U.S. or throughout Europe or Australia.”
When asked if he would urge López Obrador to do more to create a safer environment for journalists in the country, John Shipton told Courthouse News: “If we meet AMLO, I would say thank you and congratulations on having courage to defend Julian Assange. As for the rest of your question, it is answered by AMLO himself choosing Julian Assange as a symbol of what must be done to protect journalists.”
Felipe López Veneroni, a political communication professor at UNAM who spoke on the panel at Tuesday’s conference in support of Assange's release, said López Obrador could be using Assange to score political points.
“Yes, there is a political intent, but what is not political?” he told Courthouse News. “It might help the image of AMLO to offer this asylum to Assange, even though he’s not doing much to really help journalists, but it is part of the whole strategy.”
But the president’s motives may not matter in the end.
“Inviting Assange to come to Mexico might work as a political tactic for the government,“ he said. “But it may also help to create a different consciousness as to what it is to do journalism in Latin America and in Mexico.”

That's a step up in terms of the rhetoric and is perhaps a warning signal to markets as Japanese officials are drawing a bit of a hard line near 145.00 for USD/JPY at the moment. However, in the case of any real currency intervention, Japanese authorities would need the sign off from the US as well and I doubt we're very much at that stage.

GREENVILLE, Texas (CN) — Attorneys for former police officer Shaun Lucas told jurors during opening arguments Tuesday he had “no choice” but to shoot and kill Jonathan Price, an unarmed Black man, outside of a Texas convenience store.
Lucas, 24, was fired by the city of Wolfe City, located about 70 miles northeast of Dallas, after he killed Jonathan Price during Lucas’ response to reports of a fight on Oct. 3, 2020.
Price, 31, reportedly approached Lucas and asked him how he was before offering to shake his hand. Lucas allegedly refused and tried to detain Price for suspected intoxication. Lucas then shot his Taser at the man before firing his gun at Price.
Texas Rangers charged Lucas with murder after concluding his actions “were not [objectively] reasonable.”
Defense attorney Robert Rogers, of Dallas, told jurors his client acted appropriately in self-defense on the theory that Price was drunk and aggressive, resisting arrest and refusing to cooperate with commands.
“If any of the commands were followed, we would not be here today,” he said.
Hunt County Assistant District Attorney Steven Lilley flatly disagreed, stating that several witnesses at the Kwik Check convenience store did not see Price being aggressive. Lilley said Price and another customer had a brief scuffle that ended quickly, resulting in an off-duty police officer choosing to do nothing after he arrived at the scene.
Lilley cited video recordings of the shooting that show Price twisting in pain after being shot with the Taser and reaching out toward Lucas before he was shot with the gun. Rogers claimed shortly after his client’s arrest that he feared Price was trying to grab the Taser.
The Rangers, Texas’ statewide investigative agency, stated in a probable cause affidavit in the case that Price had apologized to Lucas for broken glass on the ground, telling the officer “someone tried to wrap me up.” The Rangers say Lucas claims Price later told him “I can’t be detained” because he believed he had done nothing wrong.
The trial before Hunt County District Judge Keli Aiken is expected to last up to two weeks. Lucas is currently being held on $1 million bond.
Price’s mother, Marcella Louis, sued Lucas and Wolfe City two weeks ago in Dallas federal court for wrongful death and violations of her son’s Fourth Amendment rights.
“Officer Lucas was not in reasonable fear of serious bodily injury or death at the time that he shot Mr. Price,” her complaint stated. “There was no justification for officer Lucas to use lethal force against Mr. Price.”
Lucas was one of only three officers in the Wolfe City police force, according to the city.

Jiménez, Abreu homer as surging White Sox beat Rockies 4-2
CHICAGO - Eloy Jiménez hit a three-run homer and Miguel Cairo directed the Chicago White Sox to another victory, topping the Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Michael Kopech pitched five effective innings as Chicago remained three games back of AL Central-leading Cleveland, which rallied for a 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Angels. José Abreu also went deep, and Liam Hendriks handled the ninth for his 33rd save.
The White Sox improved to 10-4 since Cairo stepped in for manager Tony La Russa, who is awaiting clearance to return to the dugout after dealing with a heart issue. The 77-year-old La Russa was at the ballpark before the game, but it was Cairo’s lineup card once again.
"Today I’m the manager. Tomorrow I don’t know," said Cairo, a former big league infielder who usually serves as La Russa’s bench coach. "But that’s in my job right now and I’m glad he’s around because I always ask him questions about what I could have done better or different or stuff like that."
Alan Trejo hit a two-run homer for last-place Colorado in the club’s first game at Guaranteed Rate Field since 2008.
Chad Kuhl (6-9) got off to a rough start, and the Rockies never recovered. With one out and runners on the corners in the first, Jiménez drove a 1-0 slider deep to center for his 13th homer.
Kuhl bent over on the mound as Jiménez’s shot soared through the night. But the right-hander settled down from there, tossing 6 1/3 innings of six-hit ball.
Kopech (5-9) allowed two runs and three hits in his first win since July 26. Jimmy Lambert surrendered two singles in the sixth, but he escaped the jam when Brendan Rodgers flied to center.
Reynaldo López and Kendall Graveman each got three outs before Hendriks finished the five-hitter.
Chicago got a valuable insurance run in the eighth when Abreu hit a leadoff drive to left-center against Justin Lawrence. It was the first homer for the 2020 AL MVP since Aug. 3 and No. 15 on the season.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rockies: SS José Iglesias (right hand contusion) is improving, according to manager Bud Black, but there is no timeline for his return. Black said they have to make sure he is "comfortable and confident" with his grip strength. ... INF/OF Kris Bryant (plantar fasciitis in left foot) is throwing and taking swings again, but Black said he isn’t sure if he will be able to return this season.
White Sox: All-Star SS Tim Anderson has been cleared to begin ramping up his baseball activity. He had surgery last month to repair a tear on the middle finger of his left hand. ... CF Luis Robert returned to the starting lineup after missing five games because of left wrist soreness.
UP NEXT
White Sox ace Dylan Cease (14-6, 2.06 ERA) goes for his third straight win on Wednesday. The right-hander has allowed just two runs and six hits in his last 23 innings. Kyle Freeland (8-9, 4.63 ERA) starts for the Rockies. The lefty tossed six innings of one-run ball in an 8-4 victory over Milwaukee last week. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/eloy-jimenez-hit-a-three-run-homer-and-miguel-cairo-directed-the-chicago-white-sox-to-another-victory-topping | 2022-09-14T05:02:30Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/eloy-jimenez-hit-a-three-run-homer-and-miguel-cairo-directed-the-chicago-white-sox-to-another-victory-topping | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Woman finds raccoon hanging out in hammock outside her Pennsylvania home
PHILDELPHIA - Forget sleeping in a tree — one intrepid raccoon in Pennsylvania decided to make itself at home by lounging in a woman's hammock.
Sarah McAnulty, who lives in Philadelphia, said she was working in her home office last Thursday when she heard a "rustling" sound coming from her deck.
When she grabbed a flashlight and looked outside, she said she couldn't believe her eyes when she found a raccoon appearing to tuck itself in, making itself comfortable for the night.
WATCH: Bears caught ‘dancing’ in driveway of Florida home in viral video
McAnulty posted a short video on Twitter, writing in the caption, "Excuse me, who taught the raccoon on my back porch how to use a hammock?"
She said the sight was especially surprising, given that the deck isn't on the first floor.
"This hammock was on a 3rd floor deck!" McAnulty wrote. "Scaled a building to scale a hammock!"

As she watched the raccoon, she noted that the animal appeared to be quite comfortable — and made her think this wasn't its first time on her porch.
"Really makes you wonder how many times he's done this! Kinda felt like I was watching him in his own living room!" she said.
McAnulty later checked on the raccoon and said it "stayed there for the rest of the night all snuggled up, sleeping in the hammock." | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/woman-finds-raccoon-hanging-out-in-hammock-outside-her-pennsylvania-home | 2022-09-14T05:02:48Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/woman-finds-raccoon-hanging-out-in-hammock-outside-her-pennsylvania-home | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Kamara scores 2 goals to lead Montreal past Chicago 3-2
MONTREAL - Kei Kamara scored twice and Zachary Brault Guillard added a goal in the 44th minute to help CF Montreal beat the Chicago Fire 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Mets come up empty for deGrom and lose to Cubs again, 4-1
CHICAGO - Jacob deGrom was outpitched by journeyman Adrian Sampson, and the frustrated New York Mets mustered little on offense again Tuesday night in a 4-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Ian Happ homered deep into the second deck on a 99 mph heater from deGrom (5-2), and No. 9 batter David Bote added his second home run of the season for the Cubs (60-82), who won the series opener 5-2 on Monday.
One night later, the scuffling Mets squandered another potential chance to increase their slim NL East lead over Atlanta, which played later in San Francisco. New York is 5-6 in a 16-game stretch against Washington, Pittsburgh, Miami and Chicago — all more than 20 games under .500 this season.
Pete Alonso barely missed a two-run homer in the first inning when it hooked just foul, and the slugger slammed down his bat after drawing a walk.
That appeared to tick off Sampson, and the two exchanged words before umpires spoke directly to each of them.
Alonso launched his 34th homer in the ninth against Brandon Hughes, who got five outs to finish it. New York managed only four hits against three Cubs pitchers and was booed a bit by the Citi Field crowd of 26,435.
Sampson (2-5) allowed two hits and four walks in six shutout innings. He struck out three.
The 30-year-old righty is pitching for his third major league team in five seasons, plus a shaky 2020 year in the Korean Baseball Organization. He had never thrown six scoreless innings in the majors before, though he’s fared well on the mound this month.
Happ homered leading off the second. Aided by catcher James McCann’s throwing error, Chicago scored twice off deGrom in the fourth on Yan Gomes’ sacrifice fly and Patrick Wisdom’s safety squeeze.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner struck out 10 in six innings. He gave up three runs and four hits without a walk.
Bote went deep against reliever Seth Lugo in the seventh to make it 4-0.

HONOLULU (KITV4) -- It takes a lot of people to put on a newscast including many people behind the scenes.
The producer of the new KITV4 Island News at 4 has quite a story to tell -- one of hope, inspiration, and success.
The producer is in charge of putting a newscast together. It takes a special kind of person -- a good communicator, a leader, a strong writer, and someone who's prepared for the unexpected.
Victoria Cuba takes it all in stride, at least she makes it seem that way.
"As a producer, and I think anyone in the newsroom, you're under constant stress," Victoria said. "But at the end of the day, I still love it."
That's because she gets to inform the public and tell stories.
"I really think and I truly believe that everybody does have a story to tell because of my own story. It's not something that I was willing to share when I was younger. And still sometimes I'm hesitant about today because you know people see it as shameful," Victoria said.
Victoria was homeless as a child.
"The first time we were all homeless, my mom was working three jobs, and she just couldn't afford to pay the rent," Victoria said.
The lived in an old Matson shipping container in a junkyard in Pearl City.
"There's one bathroom there and we'd shower with a hose and it was really cold," Victoria said.
Victoria was in the sixth grade.
"And that first time that we were homeless you know, I didn't think much of it. She just kind of reminded us that you know, you guys have we have each other, you and your brother are still together. Like you know, that's what really matters," Victoria said.
They eventually moved from the junkyard into an apartment.
"And like I remember driving out once and looking in my rear view mirror and I said that's where it's always going to stay, in my rear view mirror," Victoria said.
But her family became homeless again, for a second time, when Victoria was a junior at Waipahu High School. She kept it a secret.
"That was the hardest thing was growing up and not being able to tell my friends. Like, hey, I live in a van," Victoria said.
She eventually did tell her friends, teachers, and the staff, and they embraced her.
"I just hope that everybody who has been in my life and who's cheered me on on the way that I'm doing right by them by doing what I do and keep going. I think that, besides a fear of falling back into homelessness, it's really the support of the people who've got me here I can't let them down," Victoria said.
People like Keith Hayashi, who was the principal of Waipahu High School at the time. He's now superintendent of Hawaii's public schools.
"There was no doubt in my mind that Victoria would be successful and in whatever area she chose -- that was back from in high school. You know there was this something in this girl, that drive and commitment to making a difference in the lives of other people that she was special, and I know others saw that too in her," Hayashi said.
After Waipahu High School, Victoria went to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and even did a study abroad in London.
After graduating in 2018, Victoria landed a job as a producer at KITV4. Last month, she was promoted to senior producer.
"You know, I think with Victoria, she was always driven because of what obstacles she went through," said Victoria's mother, Debra Cuba.
"We're definitely all proud of her and who she is and who she's become," Hayashi said.
Victoria's mother is also really proud, and Victoria is very thankful that her mother taught her perseverance.
"You helped me get to here, so thank you," Victoria said. "You're welcome," Debra responded.
After all, it's not how you start, it's how you finish.
"If you told 15-year-old Victoria that she would be where I'm at right now she would laugh because it would seem impossible. Like the person I am today was just a dream," Victoria said.
"Definitely a role model for all students, not only at Waipahu but I think all students statewide," Hayashi said.
Marisa Yamane joined KITV4 in January 2022 as an anchor and executive producer. She is an award-winning veteran journalist, who’s spent most of her career in Hawaii. She’s a proud graduate of Iolani School and UCLA. | https://www.kitv.com/news/local/never-give-up-kitv4-producer-inspires-others-after-growing-up-homeless/article_abc360f2-33e3-11ed-a9a2-afe99a3ac2c4.html | 2022-09-14T05:03:39Z | kitv.com | control | https://www.kitv.com/news/local/never-give-up-kitv4-producer-inspires-others-after-growing-up-homeless/article_abc360f2-33e3-11ed-a9a2-afe99a3ac2c4.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Rock Springs High School junior Presley Nacey fires a hit over the net against Evanston High School on Tuesday. The Lady Tigers won the game in five sets.
ROCK SPRINGS – The Rock Springs High School Lady Tigers got back in the win column on Tuesday, defeating the Evanston High School Lady Red Devils in a five-set thriller, 3-2 (26-24, 22-25, 25-18, 17-25 and 15-6).
The Lady Tigers and the Lady Red Devils exchanged the lead throughout the first three sets, allowing neither team to really make a significant run.
In the fourth set, however, the Lady Red Devils came out firing and opened the set up with an 8-2 lead that later became a 12-point advantage late.
That was when Rock Springs head coach Shawn Pyer told her squad during a timeout that it was all about getting points and creating momentum for the fifth set.
“During the fourth set, I told them that coming back from this would be nearly impossible and that we needed to play for points, but the most important thing is that we need to bring momentum into that fifth set and we definitely did that with that huge run at the end of the fourth set,” she said after the game.
The Lady Tigers did just that. After falling behind 22-10, Rock Springs finished the fourth set on a 7-3 run, giving them the push they needed entering the fifth and final set.
Rock Springs forced Evanston to use a timeout early in the fifth set after opening it up with a 4-0 lead.
Pyer pointed out key players that helped swing the momentum for the Lady Tigers in senior Ashley Anderson and sophomore Emma Assay.
“Coming out strong with that 4-0 start with some really good serving from Ash and then Emma’s overpass hit truly changed the momentum of that game to finish us strong,” she said.
The Lady Tigers are used to the up-and-down play early on this season. With a young roster, Pyer said that the girls are just starting to find their groove.
That’s the reality of my team this year. The girls know that and I know that. We’re young. I don’t have any starters returning. None. So, every single girl is trying to find their groove right now,” she said.
“It’s still early in the season and we just have to accept where we’re at and know that we are kind of that inconsistent team, but this fifth set tonight shows me what they can do and I hope shows them that we are going to be a contender if we can get there mentally as well.”
On Thursday, Sept. 15, the Lady Tigers will travel to Casper to take on the Kelly Walsh Lady Trojans.
Kelly Walsh is currently sitting with an undefeated record and is ranked No. 1 in the state.
Pyer said that the game will test the mental toughness of the Lady Tigers.
“Truly, for us, it’s just going to be working through some things and battling,” she said. “It’s going to be more of a mental game for us.” | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rocketminer/tiger-toughness-rock-springs-win-five-set-thriller-over-evanston-high-school/article_f1a5ad5e-33da-11ed-b2f0-27b38c435798.html | 2022-09-14T05:18:42Z | wyomingnews.com | control | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rocketminer/tiger-toughness-rock-springs-win-five-set-thriller-over-evanston-high-school/article_f1a5ad5e-33da-11ed-b2f0-27b38c435798.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The Rayne Police are investigating a shooting that occurred on Sunday, September 11, 2022 at a business on Crandall Avenue in Crowley.
Authorities say two juveniles were shot and transported to area hospitals where they were released after treatment.
Police are looking for three men in connection to the shooting incident.

A recent survey reveals that couples in Louisiana who desire to separate seemingly blame soaring inflation as a prevention from doing so.
One third (38 percent) of those couples say that if they wanted to separate from their partner, they could not afford to rent somewhere else to live on their own, according to a survey conducted by DivorceAnswers.com.
DivorceAnswers.com surveyed 3,026 couples to determine how many relationships are not being held together by love but by a higher cost of living because of inflation.
Divorce can be quite expensive, averaging at least $15,000 in attorney and legal fees.
Marriages are being held together based on these very factors. Record high inflation rates have also played a major role in the overall cost of living individually, mirroring the couples remaining married due to financial hardship.
The survey also concluded the following:
- Over half of singles would not get into a relationship with someone who has large debts.
- The average single said they would be deterred by a debt amount of $33k.
- 1 in 4 believe any debt incurred before marriage should partly become the obligation of the ex-spouse, if the relationship ends in divorce.
- One third said if they wanted to separate from their partner, they could not afford to rent somewhere else to live on their own. | https://www.katc.com/news/covering-louisiana/til-debt-do-us-part-survey-reveals-commonalities-among-married-couples-seeking-divorce | 2022-09-14T05:19:03Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/covering-louisiana/til-debt-do-us-part-survey-reveals-commonalities-among-married-couples-seeking-divorce | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
