The town of Occoquan will kick off autumn with its popular Fall Arts & Crafts Show on Sept. 24 and 25.
During the event, more than 200 crafters, artisans and local boutique owners will fill the streets of the historic district with vendor booths. The show will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and will take place rain or shine. There is no admission fee, but shuttle service into town is $8 round trip.
“The Fall Arts & Crafts Show is a perennial favorite in the region,” said Julie Little, events director.
This year’s show will include new artisan demonstrations and an art space called Imagination Alley, where children can create, she added. “Our award-winning restaurant scene will be open for business, too.”
ARTS & CRAFTS
A myriad of artisans, crafters and makers will be set up along the streets in Occoquan’s historic district to showcase their craftsmanship in a variety of mediums and price points. Visitors can meet artisans, talk to them about their work and even view demonstrations of some of their craft techniques.
BEER & WINE GARDEN
A beer and wine garden will be open in River Mill Park both days from noon until 5 p.m., featuring local craft brews from Water’s End Brewery and handcrafted wines from Woodlawn Press Winery. Collective is the featured band Saturday, and The Ashleigh Chevalier Band returns to Occoquan on Sunday. The food court will be at this end of town as well.
IMAGINATION ALLEY
At Imagination Alley, children can create their own art through demonstrations and workshops or add to a community art project. A teen art display and performances of local community groups are scheduled all weekend as well. Imagination Alley will be in the center of town at 305 Mill St. and will be open both days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
SHUTTLE INFORMATION
At a cost of $8 per rider round trip (children 12 and under are free), visitors can park at designated lots and be transported by shuttle into town. Shuttle riders can use the EventBrite app to prepay their fees and show the shuttle stop attendant their EventBrite receipt. Shuttles will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from these three satellite locations:
- Lake Ridge Commuter Lot (Purple): Old Bridge and Minnieville roads, Woodbridge. Drop off/pick up at Mom’s Apple Pie.
- Route 123 Commuter Lot (Green): Route 123 and Old Bridge Road, Woodbridge. Drop off/pick up by River Mill Park.

The Prince William County School Board is seeking court intervention to stop its former chair from continuing to subpoena members for documents in his defamation lawsuit against the former superintendent.
In two scathing motions, attorneys for the board and former Superintendent Steven Walts asked a judge to stop the latest subpoena issued by former Board Chair Ryan Sawyers’ attorney and to sanction Sawyers and his counsel.
Sawyers, who served as chair from 2016 to 2018, is suing Walts over comments the then-superintendent made in a video posted on Twitter in May 2020. The video in question was posted after the school system received complaints regarding more than 20,000 private Twitter messages between Walts and students.
In the video, Walts said he only used the account for official business, contended complaints against him were a political attack by his critics and said the complainants were bullying and attacking students online.
Sawyers was not explicitly named, but Walts refers to “a former School Board member, who was previously censured by the School Board for his behavior.”
Sawyers has said the comments in the video, which had more than 29,000 views before being taken down, were “false and defamatory” and they “damaged Sawyers’ personal and professional reputation by alleging conduct that is reprehensible to him as a former school board chairman, businessperson, coach and father.”
Sawyers is seeking $2.3 million in damages.
Sawyers seeking numerous records
Sawyers’ attorneys issued a subpoena to current Board Chair Babur Lateef on Aug. 19 seeking a slew of documents the school system has resisted releasing publicly. The subpoena had a deadline of Sept. 12.
Lateef and the school system were also served a subpoena in 2021 seeking documents specifically related to the May 2020 statement. The latest request seeks information stretching back more than five years.
Lateef was ordered to turn over:
All communications from Walts since Jan. 1, 2017
All communications he or any School Board member had with a firm the board hired to investigate Walts’ Twitter use; a law firm that investigated the account; and anything related to a meeting with any School Board member about the account
Any report from the firm that investigated the account and any bills for their work
Walts’ complete human resources file and any employment agreement for the superintendent
All direct messages sent to the Twitter account or any correspondence containing those messages
Any correspondence mentioning any alterations to the direct messages
Any documents related to how the Twitter was handled, including an alleged May 2020 meeting with a female student
All versions of the school system’s internet use policy
Any performance improvement plan created for Walts after Jan. 1, 2020
Any correspondence about log-in credentials for the Twitter account
The school system has rejected requests from InsideNoVa and the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to release all the messages with students, claiming they are part of the superintendent’s personal papers, an exception allowed under state law. The school system has said it will release messages requested by a parent between Walts and that parent’s student.
A judge sided with the schools in 2020 in keeping the messages private.
‘Abusive and harassing’
In a motion to toss the subpoena, Walts’ attorney said it is part of “ongoing abusive and harassing discovery tactics” with “no purpose but to embarrass and harass Dr. Walts.”
“Plaintiff’s attempt to obtain information from the School Board spanning years and Dr. Walts’ entire personnel record cannot be related to the events surrounding a social media post and actions over two days,” Walts’ attorney wrote.
An attorney for the School Board went further in an accompanying motion opposing the subpoena, saying the request is “in many respects redundant,” is “unduly burdensome” and is so broad that it “will impair the School Board’s ability to meet its primary obligation to provide educational services to the over 89,000 students attending the Prince William County Public Schools.”
“Further participation by the School Board and the PWCS in a lawsuit unrelated to its core mission is inappropriate and financially burdensome, especially considering that this is the third subpoena issued to the School Board in this case along and that the requests for information are wildly overbroad and irrelevant to the issues in this case,” the school system wrote.
The school system says responding to the subpoena would require the potential search from “over 11,000 different people.” It says since 2016, Sawyers and another resident, who has a nearly verbatim lawsuit pending against Walts, and their attorneys have filed “a multitude” of Freedom of Information Act requests and “has sued or otherwise embroiled the School Board” in legal filings.
The School Board claims that it has produced all documents not protected by attorney-client privilege or that are not beyond the scope of the lawsuit.
In April, a Prince William County Circuit Court judge overruled the latest attempt by Walts’ attorneys to have the case thrown out, while tossing out a subpoena against School Board member Justin Wilk.
Sawyers’ lawsuit has gone through several changes since it was first filed. The latest iteration claims Walts and former Deputy Superintendent Keith Imon, Associate Superintendent Matthew Guilfoyle and spokeswoman Diana Gulotta conspired to create the statement that Walts read in the video.
Walts’ attorneys have hinged their defense on the claim that he is protected by sovereign immunity, which gives legal protections to public officials for conduct in the course of their employment. Previous attempts to characterize the statements as opinions have been overruled by the court.
Sawyers was elected at-large chair of the board in 2015 and has been feuding with Walts since he called on the superintendent to resign in the aftermath of an August 2017 car wreck. Walts denied any wrongdoing and refused to step aside.
Walts’ attorneys have asked for the court to award attorneys fees and require any further subpoenas to receive prior approval from the court.
No further hearings have been scheduled in the case. | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/prince-william-school-board-asks-court-to-halt-subpoenas/article_ca3dbdd8-37fe-11ed-aed7-132cb4743b1d.html | 2022-09-19T15:17:31Z | insidenova.com | control | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/prince-william-school-board-asks-court-to-halt-subpoenas/article_ca3dbdd8-37fe-11ed-aed7-132cb4743b1d.html | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Reciting most people’s résumés involves hitting a few highlights. If it’s W. Glenn Yarborough Jr.’s, however, some supplemental oxygen may be necessary.
Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce board member Ben Rodgers had the pleasure, and lengthy verbal task, of introducing Yarborough as he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the chamber’s Distinguished Service Awards Sept. 13 at Army Navy Country Club in Arlington.
Yarborough’s early life was impressive enough. After graduating from The Citadel and the University of South Carolina, he joined the U.S. Army in 1961 at age 21, where he served with the 1st Division in a cavalry and armored unit in Europe and spent three years in Vietnam. He later focused on acquisition management and supporting Army infrastructure, developing skills he would use in the business world.
After retiring from the military, Yarborough formed WGY & Associates LLC, a defense-related company, and served on a host of corporate boards.
Despite all those activities and accomplishments, Yarborough still has found time to serve with a huge variety of civic organizations, including the American Legion, Rotary Club of McLean, So Others Might Eat, Friends of the McLean Community Center, Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Cavalry Association and many others.
“Are we still talking about the same guy?” Rodgers asked while taking a breather halfway through the recitation.
Yarborough accepted his award and revealed a few basic tips for success. “I listen a lot and don’t say much, believing that you learn more and can do more when listening than when talking,” he said. “Further, one can get most anything done when you let others take the credit.”
Yarborough honored veterans’ service and encouraged them to settle in Virginia after they leave the armed forces. He lamented recent recruiting problems experienced by the services – the U.S. Army alone will be down about 25,000 recruits come October – and urged the chamber to press to allow military recruiters into high schools to talk with seniors about joining.
“The military is a great career, and maturing for those that choose a shorter term,” he said.
The country owes a debt to disabled veterans and should make them aware of the support and resources that are available, Yarborough said.
“Veterans remember the good days of their service to the nation when the fellowship and organization of their respective service gave them a comfort factor not available when one has been discharged,” he said. “I still feel that vacuum, and I bet that many of you that have served feel the same way.”
Yarborough raised the alarm about high suicide rates for military veterans and active-duty service members, and urged the audience to call them or take them out for coffee. Such “buddy checks” make veterans feel appreciated, he said.
About 23 percent of active-duty personnel have experienced food insecurity and this contributes to marital instability and suicides, he added.
Yarborough encouraged businesses to hire veterans after they have left their respective services.
“Veterans are great employees,” he said. “Their leadership skills and integrity are phenomenal and their work ethic is great.”

For the Langley Saxons (3-1, 1-0), a strong start to the high-school football season continued Sept. 16 with the team’s 48-13 rout over the host and winless Meridian Mustangs (0-4) in non-district action.
The 3-1 start is Langley’s best since 2012, and the three wins are already more than each of the past two campaigns.
“They are kind of in a rebuilding season with a lot of young players, so we took care of business, executed and did things the right way,” Langley coach David Murray said.
For Langley, quarterback Brendan Mansinne led the offense. He was 12 of 17 passing for 139 yards and threw three touchdown passes, one each to twin brothers Daren and Dustin Mosleh and one to Connor Campbell. Mansinne also ran for 45 yards, including a five-yard scoring run.
“Brendan made some really good decisions, and his throws were all on target,” Murray said.
Dustin Mosleh had four catches for 74 yards, Daren Mosleh had three catches for 26 and ran for 34, Campbell had four catches for 31 and Chur-Yong Mun had one catch and rushed for 27 yards, including a three-yard touchdown run.
Nick Guagliano booted a 46-yard field goal and five extra points in his return from an injury.
“Having Nick back is a big thing for us,” Murray said.
Langley’s Michael Thomas had a fumble return for a TD.
On defense for Langley, Remhi Chaudhry had 12 total tackles, Ethan Cash and Peter Kaldes made six each and Jacob Steele five. Chandler Bowles and Samuel Carton had interceptions.
Langley plays another non-district game on Friday, Sept. 23 a 7 p.m. in Vienna against the defending 6D North Region champion Madison Warhawks (0-3).
“That will be a big test for us,” Murray said. “Madison is very good, a state contender and easily could be 3-0 right night. They have three close losses.”
Madison had a bye week on Sept. 16 and did not play.
* The Marshall Statesmen (1-3) put together a big rally but lost to the host Hayfield Hawks, 38-35, in non-district high-school football action Sept. 16.
In the loss, Marshall quarterback Jeff Ryder had a highly productive passing game. He was 23 of 45 for 408 yards and threw five touchdown passes, and also multiple interceptions.
Marshall was hurt by six turnovers.
Jake Peksen had nine catches for 147 yards and two TDs, and Owen Buhrman caught five passes for 136 yards and two scores. Colin Bell caught three passes, and Owen Lebkisher and Derek Lenert (one touchdown) two each.
Lebkisher rushed for 66 yards and Ryder for 46.
On defense, Buhrman made nine total tackles with four for losses, Lebkisher made seven tackles, Sam Morales had a sack and Hunter McKay had an interception and fumble recovery.
* In other local Sept. 16 football games, the Oakton Cougars (2-2) and McLean Highlanders (0-4) each were routed. No statistics were provided by either team and neither head coach responded to repeated requests by the Sun Gazette for such information by press time. | https://www.insidenova.com/sports/langley-enjoying-best-start-since-2012/article_d8bd1d3a-3813-11ed-8c93-9fe561b19af0.html | 2022-09-19T15:17:44Z | insidenova.com | control | https://www.insidenova.com/sports/langley-enjoying-best-start-since-2012/article_d8bd1d3a-3813-11ed-8c93-9fe561b19af0.html | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

What a difference a year makes for the Yorktown Patriots.
This season, the high-school football team won back-to-back non-district games against the Madison Warhawks at home then the host Oakton Cougars. Last fall Yorktown lost to each of those Vienna teams at reversed sites on consecutive Friday nights.
The Patriots’ most recent win against one of those squads was Sept. 16 with a 49-7 rout over Oakton for their third win in a row and to improve to 3-1.
In the win, Yorktown controlled the game on the ground by rushing for 403 yards and throwing just four times, with two completions by quarterback James Yoest for 72 yards.
“We ran the ball real well, and we did a real good job on defense and defended their pass well,” Yorktown coach Bruce Hanson said. “Our secondary played well, and has been playing a lot better since that opening loss to Langley. We moved some players around back there and made some changes.”
On defense, defensive backs Dylan Minsker and Christopher Montecino had interceptions for Yorktown, which held Oakton (2-2) to fewer than 200 total yards.
Yorktown scored on its second play of the game on a 55-yard pass from Yoest to Miles Fang. An 80-yard Fang run and Tomas Edmeades’ second extra point gave Yorktown its next seven points.
The other touchdowns came on Fang’s 35-yard run and Xandar Starks’ 55-run, a one-yard run by Yoest, Fang added a four-yard run followed by a Yoest two-point conversion run, and a three-yard run by Owen Woodward capped the scoring. Edmeades made five extra points.
Starks led the ground attack with 163 yards rushing, one more than Fang’s 162. Yoest ran for 27 yards, Keegan Westhoff for 19 and Miles Rosman for 15. Fang had two catches for 72 yards.
Yorktown is in non-district action again on Friday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. with a home game against the Westfield Bulldogs (3-1) of the Concorde District. Like Yorktown, Westfield will bring a three-game winning streak into the contest. | https://www.insidenova.com/sports/yorktown-wins-big-in-football/article_85e3c29e-3813-11ed-a12e-fb0332c429e2.html | 2022-09-19T15:17:56Z | insidenova.com | control | https://www.insidenova.com/sports/yorktown-wins-big-in-football/article_85e3c29e-3813-11ed-a12e-fb0332c429e2.html | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Career Clinics Improve Career-Transition Readiness
They can be especially helpful for graduate students and postdocs from all types of disciplines for preparing their minds and materials for the job market, writes Jim Gould.
Two major drivers dictate the quality of graduate and postdoctoral career development programs: the depth of training and how much they address the perceived pain points or areas of anxiety trainees must deal with that are only partially within their control. Professional and career development training programs must create awareness, build skills and/or provide experience while also adding to a trainee’s research, publication record, funding and career transition. If programs are not delivering some combination of the above, then they must be revised, reconsidered or even abandoned.
For instance, graduate students and postdocs who decide to go on the job market must do much more than just submit applications and wait for offers to roll in. They must also find a position that’s a good fit for them and concisely convey their previous educational and career trajectory to potential employers. Yet there is a real lack of guidance, mentoring and peer support for job search and transition readiness among many trainee populations, especially international scholars and groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM.
Offering and repeating targeted monthly career-transition trainings on such topics as CVs and résumés, cover letters, teaching statements, research proposals, and job interviews can help trainees prepare their minds and materials for the job market. This article addresses how training offices can engage trainees and provide instant support in their job search through facilitated discussions and peer reviews using a career clinic model. As director of a postdoc office, I have been facilitating monthly career clinics since 2017. In that time, I have found them especially helpful for graduate students and postdocs from all types of disciplines.
Unpacking the Career-Transition Process
Perhaps the most significant aspect of successful career clinics is that they incorporate shared participant responsibilities. Participants are expected to prepare a draft of a job search component that they are willing to share, and several peers as well as the facilitator or another expert will critique it. They must also be willing to read, review and critique each other’s materials. That encourages participants to realize the significance of having their materials reviewed and then revising them.
The structure and flow of a career clinic is important. In general, trainees submit a draft of their application materials ahead of time for the facilitator or expert critique. The typical workshop begins with a discussion of self-identified struggles of drafting those materials, followed by facilitator-led brainstorming of actual strategies to overcome such struggles. Usually, the facilitator then gives a brief presentation on the tips, tricks and best practices that respond to the issues raised in the struggles-and-strategies sessions.
Next, the participants are put into pairs or small groups for a few rounds of peer review and critique. Afterward, the group synthesizes the lessons people have learned about the entire process. Ph.D.s and postdocs walk away with several critiques and an appreciation for the importance of critical material review.
In managing a career clinic, the facilitator must ensure that the flow of discussion is independent of who is in attendance, as the audience and atmosphere of the workshops can be highly variable. While the presentation components may reinforce the discussion, facilitators should endeavor to use minimal slides, since the presentation is often redundant to the discussion.
In addition to benefiting trainees, these types of in-depth, interactive and insightful workshops assist training offices in developing programming that encourages Ph.D.s and postdocs to further participate in the full catalog of events those offices might offer. In the clinics, not only the trainees but also the training offices can gain information about innovative programming that can provide the skills that grad students and postdocs require for both nonacademic and academic-focused careers. Also, if training offices do not have the ability or staff to offer one-on-one coaching and advising, they can still use this model to teach these skills by either leveraging their own experience or bringing in someone with experience with graduate and postdoc job search and career-transition readiness.
Common Career-Transition Topics
Some of the specific topics that career clinics can explore include:
- The CV and résumé. A CV or résumé provides the first impression of a candidate to a potential employer. The content of the document should quickly grab the reader’s interest, and the format must deliver information clearly and concisely. To make it even more challenging, trainees need to summarize the highlights of their career in just a few pages.
- Cover letters. By understanding the job posting and aligning the cover letter to its content, candidates can quickly and concisely convey their interest and job fit, all in just one page. In crafting and tailoring a cover letter, the candidates must address the specific qualifications employers are looking for when they advertise open positions.
- Statements of teaching philosophy. Writing the teaching statement can be one of the most esoteric exercises in crafting the academic application package. While less philosophical and more practical, the challenge is to communicate a tangible evidence-based teaching approach in just a single page.
- Research proposals and statements. Writing the research proposal is one of the most intense exercises in putting together an academic job application. While constructing the intellectual framework of a lab for the next several years, applicants must also convey a feasible, fundable and future-focused research program in just a few pages.
- Interview preparation. Every trainee could benefit from interview prep as they move forward in their job search. A critical part of their job hunt as a candidate is convincing other people (and sometimes themselves) through effective storytelling that they are capable of performing successfully.
The Struggles and Strategies of Application-Material Prep
Graduate students and postdocs may find such career-transition topics and materials to be overwhelming and confusing. Thus, they are often mystified and even paralyzed as to how to proceed. Using peer review and critique to hone application documents, as well as focusing on self-awareness and authenticity, trainings should cover common struggles and effective strategies for preparing trainees for successful job searches and career transitions. Through my own work in career clinics, I’ve found trainees often identify shared struggles across the five career-transition topics I’ve just outlined, as well as some potentially effective strategies to deal with such challenges.
For instance, when it comes to drafting materials and preparing for career transitions, trainees are surprised to learn that most of them have the same concerns, regardless of experience or topic. Graduate students and postdocs tend not to understand the true purpose of some or all of the components within the application package. They also have questions about each document’s length, structure, order of sections, formatting and balance of soft and technical content.
The best strategies to address such common struggles can actually be universally applied across all topics. When trainees are crafting their applications, they should have others review documents, find and model recent examples, and mirror the language of the job posting, if possible. Additional advice is for trainees to always be themselves—honest, authentic and direct.
Beyond the application, trainees are very concerned about interviewing and the inherent preparation required. Specifically, they struggle with talking about themselves and their research without sounding awkward or salesperson-like. A helpful strategy to deal with that concern is for trainees to share concrete, detailed and authentic experiences through storytelling.
Improving and Expanding Career Clinics
If a training office implements a version of the career-clinic model, they may want to make several adaptations. For instance, they might dedicate more time to each session to dive deeper into the topic and encourage a longer peer review. Offices can also incorporate an additional follow-up session to evaluate progress and critique revisions. They can also provide further community support by launching peer support groups that help individuals develop application materials and the like. Turning the career clinics into an all-day workshop or a multiweek course across multiple topics could also broaden impact.
Finally, it’s important to note that training offices should not confine the topics of their career clinics to just the five topics I’ve outlined but should expand them to include specific career tracks (academe, industry, nonbench and more), individualized development plans (IDPs), manuscript writing, presentation preparation, diversity statements, grant writing and many others.
Career and professional development workshops for trainees, in any form, will most likely be beneficial to some graduate students and postdocs regardless of their topic or structure. However, if the offerings address areas of trainee anxiety while providing awareness and depth, then a training curriculum will emerge that has substance, relevance and impact to trainee well-being and career outlook. And in the case of the career-clinic model in particular, the principles I’ve outlined can well exceed this threshold by giving trainees real-time feedback on their career-transition journey.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An American contractor held hostage in Afghanistan for more than two years by the Taliban has been released in a prisoner swap with the Taliban.
Mark Frerichs, a Navy veteran who had spent more than a decade in Afghanistan as a civilian contractor, was abducted in January 2020 and was believed to have been held since then by the Taliban-linked Haqqani network.
Negotiations for his release had centered on a deal that would also involve the release of Bashir Noorzai, a notorious drug lord and member of the Taliban who told reporters in Kabul on Monday that he had spent 17 years and six months in U.S. captivity before being released.
The exchange is one of the most significant prisoner swaps to take place under the Biden administration, coming five months after a separate deal with Russia that resulted in the release of Marine veteran Trevor Reed. It took place despite concerns from his family and other advocates that the U.S. military departure from Afghanistan, and the collapse of the government there, could make it harder to bring him home and could deflect attention away from his imprisonment.
President Joe Biden, who is in the U.K. to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, called Frerichs’s family on Monday morning to share the “good news.”
"Our priority now is to make sure Mark receives a healthy and safe return and is given the space and time he needs to transition back into society," Biden said in a statement.
A sister of Frerichs, who is from Lombard, Illinois, thanked U.S. government officials who helped secure her brother's release.
“I am so happy to hear that my brother is safe and on his way home to us. Our family has prayed for this each day of the more than 31 months he has been a hostage. We never gave up hope that he would survive and come home safely to us," said a statement from the sister, Charlene Cakora.
In Afghanistan, Noorzai told reporters at a press conference that he had been released from an unspecified U.S. prison and handed over earlier in the day to the Taliban in Kabul, in exchange for an American prisoner held in Afghanistan whom he did not identify. Frerichs’ family subsequently confirmed that it was him.
Frerichs, 60, had been working on civil engineering projects at the time of his Jan. 31, 2020 abduction in Kabul. He was last seen in a video posted last spring by The New Yorker i n which he appeared in traditional Afghan clothing and pleaded for his release. The publication said it obtained the clip from an unidentified individual in Afghanistan.
Until Monday, U.S. officials across two presidential administrations had tried unsuccessfully to get him home. Even before their takeover of Afghanistan in August last year, the Taliban had demanded the U.S. release Noorzai in exchange for Frerichs. But there had been no public sign of Washington proceeding with any sort of trade or exchange along those lines.
Eric Lebson, a former U.S. government national security official who had been advising Frerichs' family, said in a statement that “everything about this case has been an uphill fight.” He criticized the Trump administration for having given away "our leverage to get Mark home quickly by signing a peace accord with the Taliban without ever having asked them to return Mark first.
“Mark’s family then had to navigate two Administrations, where many people viewed Mark’s safe return as an impediment to their plans for Afghanistan,” the statement said.
The collapse of the Western-backed Afghan government and takeover by the Taliban in August 2021, raised additional concern that any progress in negotiations could be undone or that Frerichs could be forgotten.
But his name surfaced last month when President Joe Biden, who had publicly called for Frerichs' release, was said by his advisers to have pressed officials to consider any risk posed to Frerichs by the drone strike in Afghanistan that killed al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
The Taliban-appointed foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, also spoke at the Kabul press conference alongside Noorzai and welcomed the exchange, saying it marked the start of a “new era" in U.S.-Taliban relations.
“This can be a new chapter between Afghanistan and the United States, this can open a new door for talks between both countries,” Muttaqi said at the presser.
“This act shows us that all problems can be solved through talks and I thank both sides' teams who worked so hard for this to happen,” he added.
The Taliban also posted a brief video Monday on social media showing Noorzai’s arrival at the Kabul airport where he was welcomed by top Taliban officials, including Muttaqi.
At the press conference, Noorzai expressed thankfulness at seeing his “mujahedeen brothers" — a reference to the Taliban — in Kabul.
“I pray for more success of the Taliban,” he added. “I hope this exchange can lead to peace between Afghanistan and America, because an American was released and I am also free now.” | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/family-of-american-says-he-was-freed-by-taliban-in-swap | 2022-09-19T15:21:09Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/family-of-american-says-he-was-freed-by-taliban-in-swap | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A strong earthquake shook much of Taiwan on Sunday, toppling a three-story building and temporarily trapping four people inside, stranding about 400 tourists on a mountainside, and knocking part of a passenger train off its tracks.
One person died and nine people had minor injuries, Taiwan's Emergency Operations Center said.
The magnitude 6.8 quake was the largest among dozens that have rattled the island's southeastern coast since Saturday evening, when a 6.4 quake struck the same area.
Most of the damage appeared to be north of the epicenter, which Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said was in the town of Chishang at the relatively shallow depth of 7 kilometers (4 miles).
In nearby Yuli town, a cement factory worker died and the three-story building, which had a 7-11 convenience store on the ground floor and residences above it, collapsed, the island's Central News Agency said.
The 70-year-old owner of the building and his wife were rescued first, but it took longer to get to a 39-year-old woman and her 5-year-old daughter.
A photo released by the Hualien city government showed the girl lying on a blanket and being handed down a metal ladder from the top of the debris by helmeted rescue workers in orange uniforms.
The top two stories of the building were left sprawled across a small street and onto the other side, with electricity wires pulled down by the fallen structure.
More than 7,000 households were reported without power in Yuli, and water pipes were also damaged. Shelves and musical instruments fell over at the Mount Carmel Presbyterian Church and a long crack ran down its floor. Outside, the pavement was broken into slabs of concrete.
Police and firefighters rushed to a bridge collapse on a two-lane road in what appeared to be a rural part of the same town where three people and one or more vehicles may have fallen off, according to media reports.
Also in Yuli, a landslide trapped nearly 400 tourists on a mountain famous for the orange day lilies that blanket its slopes this time of year, the Central News Agency said. They had no electricity and a weak cellphone signal.
Debris from a falling canopy on a platform at Dongli station in Fuli town, which is between Yuli and the epicenter at Chishang, hit a passing train, derailing six cars, the Central News Agency said, citing the railway administration. None of the 20 passengers were injured.
The shaking was felt at the north end of the island in the capital, Taipei. In Taoyuan city, west of Taipei and 210 kilometers (130 miles) north of the epicenter, a man was injured by a ceiling collapse on the 5th floor of a sports center.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory for several southern Japanese islands near Taiwan, but later lifted it. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/world/strong-quake-kills-1-knocks-house-derails-train-in-taiwan | 2022-09-19T15:21:12Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/world/strong-quake-kills-1-knocks-house-derails-train-in-taiwan | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Title
The Mass Transit Blues
We have to do better.
As I’ve mentioned over the years, and as recently as last week, I’m a fan of good mass transit. The key word there is “good.”
On Sunday, TW and I decided to add the Mets’ home field, Citi Field, to the list of stadiums where we’ve seen baseball games.* Last year we saw the Pirates in Pittsburgh, where PNC Bank Park has a beautiful view of the city. Earlier this summer we saw the Pirates play the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, which is charming in its own right (and near an El station). This weekend the Pirates were playing the Mets, and I had never been to a Mets home game, so we gave it a shot.
For the record, it’s not about the Pirates; we have no strong feelings about them one way or the other. They just keep showing up and losing. (On Sunday, they committed an impressive four errors.) They’re the Harold Stassen of baseball.
We live in Freehold, N.J. The Mets play in Queens, N.Y. New York City has the most developed mass transit in the country. How hard could it possibly be?
Ugh. The game started at 1:40 and was over slightly after 5:00. We left the house shortly after 10:00 and got home around 8:30.
Never again.
To be fair, much of the day was fun. The weather was great, the Mets won and I had no complaints at all about the grilled Italian sausage and green peppers on a roll, which I think of as one of the official foods of the Jersey Shore. (The other is enormous, glistening slices of floppy pizza—the kind you blot until the napkins turn transparent.) The anthem singer blew the lyrics, but in his defense, it’s a hard song. Before the game started, a bunch of kids took the field at various positions; when the players came out, they met the kids at the respective positions, signed balls for them and chatted a bit. The players were trying to be role models. I thought it was charming.
The whole “role model” thing got a bit more complicated in the bottom of the first, when the Pirates pitcher hit a Met batter and both benches cleared in anticipation of a fight. Nobody punched anybody, luckily. Whether the kids from earlier noticed the field of grown men about to settle an interpersonal dispute through large-group violence, I don’t know. Kudos to the music director who played “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” as the scrum dissipated.
Pro tip: apparently, stadium vendors don’t take cash anymore. It’s all cards. One unofficial bottled-water vendor outside the stadium just had a cardboard sign reading “VENMO.” Even the gray market has gone electronic.
Ah, but the transport …
Getting there from here involved a half hour drive to a train station (Metropark), followed by an N.J. Transit train to Penn Station N.Y.C., followed by a Long Island Railroad train to Citi Field. Coming back involved the same, plus a thirty-minute delay at Penn Station behind a disabled train and another delay at Metropark when someone apparently couldn’t process the idea of prepaying the ticket before getting to the gate.
These delays are roughly equivalent to what many community college students face daily if they rely on mass transit. One day of them was enough to swear me off that stadium indefinitely. We ask students to tolerate that, and be in a good mental space to learn, for months at a time. It’s an unreasonable ask.
The solution can’t be “cars for everything!” Cars are expensive, as is insurance, as is gas. And even for folks who can afford them, traffic and parking can be real issues. And that’s without mentioning pollution, repairs and fender-benders. What we actually need is public transportation that’s worthy of the public. It’s expensive, yes, but so are gridlock and opportunities lost for lack of reasonable transportation.
One day of this kind of transit hopping was enough to turn me against a stadium. Years of this kind of transit hopping are just not fair to ask of anyone. We can do better. As can the Pirates.

Why Some Professors Don’t Post PDFs by Marginalized Scholars
Altmetrics track how scholarly works are discussed, shared, read and reused online. Such real-time feedback may especially matter for underrepresented and early-career researchers, though the metrics have limitations.
Gerardo Muñoz’s graduate school professor did not post a PDF of the assigned author’s paper on Canvas, the class learning management system. The instructor explained that they were reading works by marginalized scholars and that these authors would benefit if students downloaded their work so that the resulting metrics could provide an indication of scholarship impact. Muñoz thought that was noteworthy, so he tweeted about it, and that tweet has since racked up nearly 50,000 likes and thousands of retweets.
Many of the replies to Muñoz’s tweet voiced support, including “BEAUTIFUL,” “Data is capital,” “Normalize THIS” and “Damn.” Others expressed concern about the professor’s policy, including some who wrote, “an amazing way to have your students not read said scholarship of marginalized thinkers,” or “Oh how I hate living in an algorithm-driven society.”
At the heart of Muñoz’s Twitter storm are altmetrics, or alternative metrics, a relatively new measure of research impact that tracks how scholarly works are discussed, shared, read and reused online. This may include numbers of page views and downloads, shares and likes on social media, and mentions in online news, forums and policy documents.
Scholars have long relied on a variety of metrics to understand the relative value of their research. A journal’s impact factor, for example, is often thought to confer prestige to the journal’s authors. Likewise, an author’s h-index combines information about the author’s number of papers with the number of citations to suggest value. Authors also count citations as a stand-alone measure.
Proponents argue that altmetrics may supplement traditional scholarly metrics in important ways, especially given the limitations of traditional scholarly metrics. Citations, for example, often take years to accumulate. Journal impact factors do not provide granular information about individual articles and may rely on flawed statistical arguments, at least according to some.
In contrast, altmetrics arrive promptly, in real time, and provide insight into how research influences societal conversations, thought and behavior. Such feedback may be especially meaningful to underrepresented and early-career researchers. But altmetrics are not a panacea, as they are susceptible to manipulation and do not always measure quality.
“Downloads matter,” said Tia Madkins, assistant professor in the University of Texas at Austin’s department of curriculum and instruction. “We talk about supporting scholars of color and what it means for people to know that their work is valued … People don’t always cite your work, so some universities and colleges have become more expansive in their views of how your work is being used.”
Altmetrics Help Tell a Story
Since scholarship now exists in media beyond print materials, some researchers now list altmetrics on their CVs and grant applications, especially when their colleges or funders indicate that they value that information.
“This ties into a bigger conversation about needing to modernize promotion and tenure criteria, because right now—how do I put this?—they’re based on certain metrics that maybe aren’t actually as informative as they were sold or are being used as proxies for something that they actually don’t represent,” Megan O’Donnell, a librarian at Iowa State University, said.
To be sure, altmetrics and traditional metrics are sometimes correlated. For example, a 2018 study identified a strong positive correlation between communication about scientific research on social media that happened within weeks of publication and citation rates that accumulated over months and years. The researchers concluded that increasing the profile of one’s work online early may predict an increase in future citations. In another study from 2018, researchers found that early altmetrics that counted online mentions of research products, such as mentions in mainstream news, can predict future citation counts.
Tools for Gathering Altmetrics
Altmetrics have emerged alongside the rise of open-access research. Many university librarians now point researchers to the Metrics Toolkit, a free resource developed “to help scholars and evaluators understand and use citations, web metrics, and altmetrics in the evaluation of research.” The tool kit’s editorial board is made up of experts versed in research impact measures who serve for one year at a time.
The PLoS Impact Explorer, for example, provides real-time metrics on “which articles are seeing the most buzz from social media sites, newspapers and in online reference managers.”
The free Altmetric Bookmarklet tool allows researchers to get metrics for an article they’ve published. Researchers may also embed code on webpages to get an “attention score” reported in the center of a colorful “doughnut.”
Altmetrics’ Limitations
Altmetrics share some limitations with traditional scholarly metrics. For example, a work may have a high number of engagements for negative reasons, such as clicks or downloads that follow news of fraudulent research. Also, both alternative and traditional metrics may reflect the implicit bias of a community.
But some limitations are unique to altmetrics. The broad term has no single definition, which means that different scholars’ altmetrics can rarely be compared. Also, altmetrics can sometimes paint an incomplete picture of a scholar’s work. For example, when a PDF of a paper is shared via some technology, such as email or on a course learning management platform, those page views are not counted. Muñoz’s graduate school professor was seeking to avoid this problem when she asked the students to search for and download the article on their own—skills that can foster students’ abilities to use research tools. Solving one problem, however, can sometimes introduce another.
“For authors, providing a link is better [than providing a PDF] because then every single downloaded visit and read is tracked,” O’Donnell said. “For students, a direct access to the PDF ensures they’re reading the right material.” A professor might provide a link to the article, assuming the library has a subscription to the journal. If the library does not have a subscription, instructors may have few options other than posting PDFs, assuming they obtained permission.
That said, altmetrics overcome some limitations of traditional metrics. Altmetrics at least provide understanding of how many readers viewed the article, even if the picture is sometimes incomplete. Journal impact factor, for example, does not provide that information at all.
Still, no metric—traditional or alternative—is perfect.
“Almost everything can be gamed,” O’Donnell said. “Automatic bots can go around and download everything,” inflating a count. “There are also ways to game traditional metrics.” Citation cartels—groups of colleagues who work together to cite each other’s works—have helped researchers game traditional metrics, O’Donnell said. At least altmetrics that look too good to be true can often be traced, she reasoned. For example, a scholar who claims to have tens of thousands of engagements on a tweet should be able to produce the tweet with ease. Also, downloading bots can be exposed.
Though altmetrics may help tell a story about the societal impact of a scholar or their work, few claim they should be used in isolation.
“A more rigorous peer-reviewed citation is still the most trustworthy measurement of the impact and quality of the work,” said Hui Zhang, a digital services librarian at the University of Oregon. But Zhang is glad to see that altmetrics “are finally getting some attention,” especially as they provide more opportunities to make the work of underrepresented and early-career researchers more visible.
“We’re in an age where people aren’t using our work in the same ways that were popular even 10 years ago,” said Madkins of UT Austin. She is pleased that her institution asks faculty members to include measures of scholarship used by practitioners or other stakeholders in their tenure and promotion portfolios. “Knowing that people outside of academia are using my work is really valuable, because that’s who matters.”

A Women’s College Goes Coed, and ‘Chaos Ensues’
Notre Dame of Maryland University abruptly announced it would begin admitting male undergraduates next fall to combat enrollment declines. Backlash from students and alumnae was swift.
One hundred and twenty-five years after its founding as the first Catholic university in the U.S. to grant four-year degrees to women, Notre Dame of Maryland University is going coed—much to the chagrin of many students and alumnae.
The only remaining women’s college in Maryland announced last Tuesday that it will begin enrolling undergraduate men in fall 2023. The decision was made at the recommendation of an enrollment task force assembled last year by the university’s Board of Trustees, which examined falling enrollment rates at women’s colleges across the country. NDMU’s own undergraduate enrollment has fallen significantly in recent years, from 1,169 in fall 2014 to 807 in fall 2021.
“The Board recognized that in order for NDMU to flourish for years to come, we needed to expand our mission,” Board of Trustees chair Patricia McLaughlin wrote in a statement.
Many current students and alumnae argue that by becoming a coeducational institution, the university is not expanding its mission but abandoning it. Each one who spoke to Inside Higher Ed said that the shift would fundamentally alter the NDMU experience and that they were blindsided by the decision, which was made behind closed doors.
“The decision was made entirely by the Board of Trustees, with no input from students, staff, faculty, or alumni,” said Alex Malinowski, a current senior at NDMU. “It’s truly heartbreaking. We feel incredibly disrespected.”
Next fall won’t be the first time the Baltimore college has admitted men: NDMU’s weekend college for adult undergraduates, launched in 1975, has always been coeducational. But Christine Baumgarten, an alumna who also worked in the university’s office of enrollment until 2015, said there’s a difference between having men on campus and eschewing the identity of a women’s undergraduate college.
“Women’s colleges are wholly unique experiences,” she said. “At the undergraduate level, particularly when you have students coming out of high school doing their core identity-forming, it is so empowering for women to have a space in a classroom where they don’t feel judged, where they can feel heard and be engaged as women growing into professionals.”
A spokesperson for NDMU did not respond to Inside Higher Ed’s questions about backlash to the decision, instead pointing to a formal statement and an FAQ page, both released Tuesday after the announcement.
The Baltimore university’s switch to coeducation makes it the latest in a long line of women’s colleges that have either opened up to men or shuttered their doors.
Emerald Archer, the executive director of the Women’s College Coalition, of which NDMU is a member, said many women’s colleges are facing a “perfect storm” of enrollment and financial woes that have forced them into a corner.
“Women’s colleges are having to make some really hard decisions … but I’m confident that leadership for our schools are exhausting every option before closing or going coed,” she said. “These decisions are not made lightly.”
A ‘Mission-Altering Decision’
Students at NDMU got the news that their school was going coed the same way as the broader public: through a press release that arrived in their email inboxes without warning Tuesday afternoon.
Malinowski, who was in the dining hall when the email came through, said that when students realized what it meant, “chaos ensued.”
“People were shouting, upset, crying,” she said. “It was just truly an astounding moment for the school to shred its history so quickly and without warning.”
Alumnae and faculty were similarly thrown by the announcement. Nancy Tarr Hart, an alumna of NDMU’s adult college, said she “found her voice” at NDMU, and she credits her experience at a women’s college with helping her jump-start a second act in her life. Years after graduating, she was asked to return and teach philosophy, later becoming the department chair—a position she held until her retirement in May. She said she was “shocked and angered” by NDMU’s decision.
“It felt like I was punched in the gut,” she said. “Honestly, I felt betrayed.”
Students and alumnae say the lack of transparency around the board’s decision made the news all the more upsetting, and the university handled the rollout poorly, without acknowledging the magnitude of the transition.
“It’s a massive, sweeping change, a mission-altering decision, and yet not a single person outside of the board and administrators knew this was even being considered before the press release,” said Baumgarten. “It’s becoming a case study in how not to do institutional change.”
Dozens of alumnae voiced their opposition to the move in a meeting with NDMU president Marylou Yam held over Zoom Thursday night. On alumnae Facebook groups and other social media sites, many expressed anger mixed with nostalgic remembrances of what they described as the distinct, community-centered experience of attending a women’s college.
Students are organizing to express their disapproval. At an on-campus information session Thursday, more than 50 current students walked in with tape over their mouths. Malinowski, who helped organize the protest, said the move was symbolic of the university “shutting out” students from the decision-making process.
“It’s just really unfair that the Board of Trustees made this decision before asking for anyone’s advice or how we felt about it,” said Narelle Hernandez, another NDMU senior.
On Friday, dozens of students gathered outside Yam’s office throughout the day for a silent sit-in. Malinowski said it would be overly optimistic to think student action could reverse the university’s decision, but that it was important to her and her peers to vocalize their discontent.
“Our goal is for the president and Board of Trustees to know they overlooked Notre Dame women, a powerful force on campus that are unhappy with the decision,” she said. “We will continue to fight for the college to remain a women’s college, but right now our primary goal is to make sure everyone’s voice is heard.”
Tarr Hart said she thought there were a number of alternative options to boost enrollment that didn’t involve “abandoning the mission” of NDMU. The fallout from going coed, she believes, will only make the university’s struggles more acute.
“I honestly think they’re going to lose current students, potential students and donors,” she said, adding that she was unlikely to make any more donations to her alma mater.
Malinowski concurred. She said that if she weren’t graduating next fall, she would consider transferring, and that many of her younger peers have been mulling over whether to stay.
Hernandez said she chose NDMU because of its historic mission as a women’s college. While she will graduate before any men are enrolled, she worries that underclasswomen and prospective students will be “robbed of the experience” that she credits with helping her find her voice and come into her own.
“Since it’s an all-women’s college, women who are introverts gain the strength to be able to speak up more in class so that they can get out of their shell,” Hernandez said. “Once they introduce men into classes, that’s going to be harder.”
Eric Bryan, vice president of enrollment strategies for the Parish Group, has worked with many small colleges, including women’s colleges. He said that in his experience, women’s colleges don’t turn to a coed transition unless all other enrollment-boosting options have been exhausted. Bryan also questioned the wisdom of relying on men to boost enrollment, as men accounted for 71 percent of the overall college enrollment decline over the past five years, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse; as of spring 2021 almost 60 percent of all college students were women, a record high.
“In a lot of these cases, it really is a last-ditch effort where they don’t see another path forward,” he said. “Otherwise, why would you risk alienating 100-plus years of alumnae?”
But Baumgarten, Tarr Hart and others said NDMU’s secretive decision-making process and surprise announcement didn’t give the university community a chance to devise alternative solutions or fundraise their way out of the problem, like supporters of Sweet Briar College did when the Virginia women’s college seemed on the brink of closure in 2014.
Baumgarten added that while the news came as a shock, she knew there was always a chance that NDMU would go the way of other struggling women’s colleges, including the College of New Rochelle in New York and the University of St. Joseph in Connecticut. She’s been a member of the Facebook group NDMU Alumnae Against Co-education in the Women’s College since 2018.
“Every women’s college knows somewhere in the back of their head that they’re one administration away from a decision like this,” she said. “You have to be constantly vigilant.”
Women’s Colleges ‘Running Out of Runway’
A little over 50 years ago, there were 230 women’s colleges in the U.S., according to a 2014 report from the Women’s College Coalition. After NDMU transitions to undergraduate coeducation, there will be just 33, a decrease of 86 percent.
Some, like Converse University in South Carolina, have gone the route of NDMU and transitioned to coeducation. Others, like Judson College in Alabama, simply closed up shop.
Bryan said that when the going gets rough, women’s colleges should look to distinguish themselves through their unique identities rather than abandon them. It might be more difficult—and potentially more expensive— than simply “letting in the other half of the population,” Bryan said, but it’s likely worth it in the long run. He noted that that seems to be especially true for NDMU, which is surrounded by other coed Catholic universities in Baltimore—including Loyola University Maryland, with which NDMU shares a library.
“One of the first things I tell colleges struggling with enrollment is, ‘You need a way to define the difference of your institution,’” he said. “If you’ve already got one built in, why would you abandon that?”
The enrollment woes women’s colleges face are not evenly distributed. Fewer than 2 percent of female undergraduates in the U.S. enroll in private, nonprofit women’s colleges and universities every year, according to WCC data; of those, more than half attend just nine colleges.
Archer of the WCC fears that the more elite women’s colleges—such as the Seven Sisters, a group of the nation’s oldest all-women institutions, including Smith and Wellesley Colleges—may be all that’s left of the sector if current trends continue. She said that if smaller women’s colleges like NDMU are lost or go coed, a subset of the population that these women’s colleges serve—namely, young women from disadvantaged backgrounds—will be the ones who miss out on a quality education. According to a WCC report from 2014, 94 percent of women’s college students receive financial aid, and 48 percent are Pell Grant recipients.
“NDMU is a bat signal to show that women’s colleges need federal support, and they need it now,” Archer said. “We’ve sounded the alarm, but there is this trickle of press releases where colleges are having to make hard decisions, and we’re running out of runway.”
Baumgarten said the rate at which women’s colleges are disappearing makes it hard to imagine future generations enjoying the same range of institutional choice that she had when applying in the late 2000s.
“I’ve joked with my husband that if we ever have a daughter, I would take her to every single woman’s college, because I would really want her to see the difference in what that type of environment does,” she said. “At this point, it’s going to be a very short road trip.”

Admissions Survey in a World of Change
The 2022 Inside Higher Ed Survey of College and University Admissions Directors arrives at a time of significant change for admissions, with more change coming soon: The Supreme Court will hear two cases involving affirmative action next month. Standardized testing’s importance in admissions is greatly diminished due to the pandemic (and the potential of the Supreme Court to rule against affirmative action). And a new way of doing admissions, in which students provide a portfolio but don’t actually apply to colleges, is gaining favor among the majority of colleges that are not competitive in traditional admissions.
At the same time, most colleges continue with their efforts to build their classes, going after groups of students they want. And colleges continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key findings of the 2022 survey, which had 271 respondents, are:
- Only 36 percent of admissions officers report that their institution met its student enrollment goals this year prior to May 1.
- A little fewer than half of admissions officers expect their enrollment to be higher in the fall of 2022 than it was in fall of 2021. Only about one-fourth of admissions officers expect it to be lower.
- Only about one-fourth of admissions officers report that the coronavirus pandemic did not change which students they admitted.
- Fewer than one-tenth of admissions officers report that they require applicants to submit ACT or SAT scores. A little fewer than half were test optional or test blind before the pandemic, and the other half changed their application process and are now test optional or test blind.
- Of admissions officers whose institutions changed to test-optional or test-blind admissions, most want their college to remain test optional or test blind permanently.
- Fewer than a fourth of respondents had a favorable reaction to the new portfolios that could replace traditional admissions.
- While nearly half of admissions officers prefer that the Supreme Court rules in support of affirmative action plans at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (and nearly half said that they don’t know), half believe that the court will rule against them.
- One-fourth of institutions have reviewed their affirmative action policies, but few have changed them.
Affirmative Action
The issue of affirmative action has periodically reached the Supreme Court in the past, dating to the Bakke decision, in 1978, and Grutter v. Bollinger (2003), in which the Supreme Court upheld the affirmative action plan of the University of Michigan law school. Notably, then Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor expressed the view that the court “expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.”
More About the Survey
Inside Higher Ed’s 2022 Survey of College and University Admissions Officers was conducted in conjunction with researchers from Hanover Research. Inside Higher Ed regularly surveys key higher ed professionals on a range of topics.
All answers are anonymous.

On Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. Eastern, Inside Higher Ed will present a free webcast to discuss the results of the survey. Sign up here.
The Inside Higher Ed survey of admissions directors was made possible in part by support from Niche, CampusReel and Motimatic.
Past surveys by Inside Higher Ed of admissions directors have found overwhelming support for affirmative action in college admissions.
This year’s survey found support continues to be strong, but with doubts on what the court will do. Only 10 percent of the admissions directors expect the Supreme Court to rule in favor of affirmative action.
And in terms of how colleges are getting ready for a possible Supreme Court decision against affirmative action, the 2022 survey found that institutions are not making dramatic changes.
Reactions to the survey results varied.
Shirley J. Wilcher, executive director of the American Association for Access, Equity and Diversity, said via email, “We will not speculate on what the Supreme Court may do. The court may surprise us, as it has before. Moreover, it is not really a question of ’winning or losing.’ There are many possible outcomes, as earlier decisions, e.g., Bakke and Grutter, have shown.”
Edward Blum, president of Students for Fair Admissions, which is suing Harvard and UNC in the two cases before the Supreme Court, said, “It is befuddling and disappointing that, after nearly eight years of litigation, so few admissions offices are prepared to end racial and ethnic classifications and preferences if the Supreme Court rules these polarizing practices are unconstitutional. This suggests that admissions officers did not take Justice O’Connor’s 25-year time limit for race preferences seriously.”
Changes in What Is Asked of Students
The affirmative action cases have also contributed (along with COVID-19, to be sure) to the massive growth of the test-optional movement. While colleges cited the pandemic in making their decisions, many said (privately) that they also were starting to think about the affirmative action cases.
Only 7 percent of admissions officers report that they require applicants to submit ACT or SAT scores. Forty-three percent of admissions officers reported that their institution was test optional or test blind before the pandemic, and 50 percent said they have changed their application process and are now test optional or test blind.
Of those who reported that their policies changed during the pandemic, 54 percent said they saw an increase in applications from Black, Latino and Native American students. And 58 percent admitted more Black, Latino and Native American students.
Forty-seven percent of that group said they admitted more students who needed financial aid to enroll. But only 37 percent of those in that group said that officials at their college “express concerns about the increase in the percentage of students who needed financial aid to enroll.”
Of those who have recently switched to test-optional policies, 67 percent strongly support and 22 percent somewhat support “remaining test-optional or test-blind permanently.”
Equity concerns also are prompting some college admissions officers (and high school counselors) to advocate for fewer students taking Advanced Placement calculus and more of them taking other advanced mathematics courses in high school, such as statistics. They believe that most students would benefit more from other courses, and they note that high schools with many Black and Latino students are less likely to offer calculus than are high schools with lots of white and Asian students.
College admissions directors are divided on this question of discouraging calculus: 13 percent strongly support and 21 percent support the idea; 3 percent strongly oppose the idea, and 7 percent somewhat oppose the idea. A majority (55 percent) said they neither favor nor oppose the idea.
A similar split can be found on letters of recommendation. Most four-year colleges require them for admission, but some say they favor wealthy, white students because those students generally attend public and private high schools where teachers have the time to focus on them, and so some admissions directors want colleges to eliminate them from the admissions process.
Sixteen percent of respondents to the survey strongly favor the idea of ending their use, and 21 percent somewhat support the idea. Nine percent strongly oppose the idea, and 20 percent somewhat oppose the idea. More than a third (34 percent) neither favor nor oppose the idea.
Legacy Admissions
In the last year, legacy admissions preferences—which help students whose parents or other relatives have attended the college they are applying to—have attracted more criticism. The primary criticism is about equity. While members of any ethnic or racial group can be a legacy, legacies overwhelmingly favor white, wealthy applicants. With recent decisions by Johns Hopkins University and Amherst College to end legacy admissions, some have predicted many other colleges would follow. To date, they haven’t.
Thirteen percent of admissions officers said that they favored legacies in some way. Admissions leaders from private institutions (20 percent) are more likely than those at public institutions (3 percent) to report that their institution grants some degree of preference to legacy applicants. (At some public institutions, some count legacies as in-state applicants when they are from out of state.)
But support for legacy admissions (among those who responded to the survey) is minimal over all. Asked to respond to the statement “Institutions should grant some degree of preference to legacy applicants over non-legacy applicants,” only 1 percent strongly agreed, and 11 percent somewhat agreed. Fourteen percent strongly disagreed, and 27 percent somewhat disagreed.
Admissions in a New Way
One of the biggest changes in admissions is the creation of a new way for colleges to admit students—without the students having ever applied to the college. The students create a portfolio with their grades and courses and whatever else they want to show their capabilities. Companies recruit colleges to look at the portfolios and invite some students to enroll. Some colleges operate the system by themselves, and the Common Application and the state of Minnesota have programs. Colleges that are very competitive in admissions have not embraced this system, but dozens of other colleges are now involved.
Inside Higher Ed posed a question about the new approach. But at the time the survey was fielded, only one article had appeared in Inside Higher Ed about the concept. The results:
The numbers expressing support for this new admissions system may seem relatively small (fewer than a quarter of respondents), but this is the first year that supporters of this new approach to admissions have really been visible and active. And assuming that colleges with competitive admissions aren’t advocating for such a switch, the figures may be impressive.
Joe Morrison, the CEO of Concourse, one of the companies in the space, said he thought the results were “very promising.”
The system now being offered by Concourse and others simply makes more sense for many students, especially those from low-income families, he said. Colleges naturally want to know more about any applicant, he said, “but by asking too much, you are creating barriers.”
A Tough Year
This year continued trends of recent years, with relatively few colleges filling their classes by May 1 (or even July 1). However, there are some signs of (modest) improvement.
Only 36 percent of colleges in the survey had filled their classes by May 1, the traditional date by which students respond to admissions offers. Last year, the figure was 32 percent.
Inside Higher Ed also asks about filling the class by two later dates. Of the 174 colleges that hadn’t met their goals for the class by May 1, 17 percent had met the goals by June 1. And of the 144 colleges that still hadn’t met their goals by June 1, 10 percent said they had done so by July 1.
Twenty percent said they would probably admit students next year who wouldn’t have been admitted in the past.
In terms of this year’s classes, 26 percent said they expected a class that was smaller than they had admitted last year, 31 percent said it would be the same, and 43 percent said they expected more students to enroll.
Of those who expected a decline, most expected small declines: 43 percent expected it to be less than 5 percent, and 34 percent said they expected it to be from 5 percent to less than 10 percent.
Goals for Next Year
One question is about goals for next year. Minority students and full-time undergraduate are the top priorities.

Long Beach CC Fires President of Part-Time Faculty Union
September 19, 2022
Long Beach Community College fired the president of the part-time faculty union last week, The Long Beach Post reported.
The professor, Kashara Moore, has taught at the college for 10 years. She was fired because she elbowed a student while announcing names onstage during the college’s graduation ceremony earlier this year.
The board vote on her firing was 3 to 2.
Moore had been calling names during the ceremony and mispronounced Carmina Barraza as “Carina Barajas,” which led to the incident. Campus police said they could not determine if physical contact was made.
Dozens of faculty members turned out at the board meeting to back Moore.

Oregon Apologizes for Chant During Brigham Young Game
The University of Oregon has apologized for a profane chant by some students while Oregon hosted Brigham Young University at a football game this weekend, KGW News reported.
In the student section, some students chanted, “Fuck the Mormons.”
Utah governor Spencer Cox retweeted the video with the comment, “Religious bigotry alive and celebrated in Oregon.”
The University of Oregon said, “The University of Oregon sincerely apologizes for an offensive and disgraceful chant coming from the student section during yesterday’s game against Brigham Young University. These types of actions go against everything the university stands for, and it goes against the spirit of competition. We can and will do better as a campus community that has no place for hate, bias or bigotry.”

Speech at U of New Mexico Is Disrupted
A speech by a conservative commentator, Tomi Lahren, at the University of New Mexico Thursday night was disrupted by about 100 protesters, The Albuquerque Journal reported.
“My understanding is that [Lahren] was able to finish delivering her speech, and during the Q&A it became really loud, and somebody at some point pulled a fire alarm,” said a university spokeswoman.
Lahren’s speech was sponsored by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA. She has compared Black Lives Matter activists to the KKK and embraces antivaccination and anti-immigration policies.
“There was a hole knocked in one of the walls, and that is considered vandalism,” the spokeswoman said. “And since the fire alarm was pulled unlawfully, we will be investigating those things.”
The university is “deeply disappointed in the actions of those individuals who intentionally chose to disrupt a scheduled speaker and infringed upon the rights of the speaker and those who attended the event to listen and engage,” said a university statement.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression said it is monitoring the situation. FIRE posted this video of some of the appearance.

Stanford Law Introduces Income-Share Agreements
Once a hot topic in higher education, income-share agreements have faced increasing scrutiny in recent years. Now, even as some colleges wind their ISA programs down, Stanford Law School is going a different route and launching a new pilot program for income-share agreements.
The ISA program will provide up to $170,000 up front to first- and second-year law students who participate, with the expectation that they pay 10 percent of their future earnings for a period of 12 years to the nonprofit Flywheel Fund for Career Choice, which is providing the money to students, according to a Reuters report. Annual tuition at Stanford Law is roughly $67,000.
Stanford officials said the program was designed to make sure that participating students do not pay more in the ISA program than they would if they had taken out federal loans for law school.
ISA programs have been a source of tension in higher ed due to their unclear rules. While providers maintain that ISAs offer a necessary alternative to traditional loans in a flawed financial aid system, consumer advocates have long argued that such programs are predatory, and the Department of Education has declared that the agreements are, in fact, student loans.

U of Michigan Finalizes $490M Settlement in Claims of Abuse
September 19, 2022
The University of Michigan has finalized a $490 million settlement with victims of the late Robert Anderson, a physician who abused them. Anderson was director of the Campus Health Service and served as physician for many athletic teams, including the football team. More than 1,000 people have said he abused them.
The settlement was reached in January but required 98 percent of the claimants to agree. That milestone was just reached.

University of Vermont President Rejects Antisemitism Charges
The president of the University of Vermont, Suresh Garimella, denied allegations of antisemitism against the university, which is currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, the Associated Press reported. His response has caused an uproar among some Jewish advocacy groups.
Garimella wrote in a statement to students and employees Thursday that the complaint, which alleges campus leaders failed to respond to a series of antisemitic incidents, “painted our community in a patently false light.”
“The uninformed narrative published this week has been harmful to UVM,” he said. “Equally importantly, it is harmful to our Jewish students, faculty, staff, and alumni.”
According to Garimella, the university addressed the incidents in the complaint, filed last year by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and Jewish on Campus, a student group focused on exposing antisemitism.
He said the university investigated after a teaching assistant posted on social media about lowering Zionist students’ grades but found no discriminatory grading had occurred. He noted that two student groups that reportedly excluded Zionist students were not recognized student organizations and were not bound by university policies. Lastly, he said police concluded that students who threw small rocks at the Hillel Center were friends trying to get the attention of someone living in the building, and no proof of antisemitic bias was found.
A joint statement signed by 20 Jewish advocacy organizations, released Friday, said they were “alarmed, disappointed and troubled” by the president’s response and chastised him for offering “inadequate excuses.”
“Simply put, President Garimella fails to condemn the existence of significant antisemitism on UVM’s campus,” the statement read. “And instead of summoning the courage that other university leaders across the country have shown in acknowledging the problem or offering support for Jewish students who are fearful about identifying publicly as Jewish, the UVM President’s statement doubles down and refuses to take responsibility.”
Matt Vogel, executive director of the University of Vermont Hillel, said in a statement that he could not comment on details of the complaint under investigation, but Hillel officials have met with campus administrators for many months “to amplify student voices and express concerns about the campus climate on behalf of the UVM Jewish community.”
“We stand unequivocally with our Jewish students, allies, friends, and family and are committed to helping them bring their voices to the table and be heard by the university,” he said.

Yeshiva U Suspends All Student Groups to Avoid Recognizing Gay Group
September 19, 2022
Yeshiva University on Friday suspended all student groups, The New York Times reported. The move was in response to the Supreme Court lifting a stay of an order that Yeshiva recognize a gay student organization. The Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of Yeshiva’s case, which is that as a religious university, it must have the right to not recognize an organization whose mission it disagrees with. Rather, the court ruled that Yeshiva first needed to try other avenues in the New York State judicial system.

Go Ahead, Assign ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’—in College
Harper Lee’s novel belongs on college-level syllabi for the very reasons it’s rightfully losing favor in secondary school curricula, Andrew Newman writes.
“‘It’s different this time,’ Atticus tells Scout. ‘This time we aren’t fighting the Yankees, we’re fighting our friends. But remember this, no matter how bitter things get, they’re still our friends and this is still our home.’”
This is not the bigoted version of Atticus Finch unveiled in 2015 through the controversial publication of Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman, but rather the one whom the millions of student readers of To Kill a Mockingbird have been taught to look up to through the adoring perspective of his young daughter. In this instance, as Atticus compares the lost cause of defending a Black man against a false allegation of raping a white woman in the Jim Crow South to the “lost cause of the Confederacy,” Scout, the reader’s proxy, is sitting cozily in his lap. As we might say in a college English seminar, there’s a lot to unpack here.
This week, Sept. 18-22, is Banned Books Week, an annual occasion promoted by the American Library Association and its coalition of partners “celebrating the freedom to read.” Each spring, the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom releases a list of the most frequently challenged and banned books from the preceding year. In 2021, nine of the top 10 were cited for their sexual content, especially LGBTQIA+ content. But the previous year, when the murders of Black people and the Black Lives Matter protests were in the news, the dominant theme on the list was racism.
There is a conversation among the books on the 2020 list. Two contemporary novels, All American Boys (No. 3) by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, and The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (No. 10), have been challenged from the right for being allegedly antipolice. These #BLM novels are effectively contending for the spot on the curriculum long occupied by Mockingbird (No. 7); they are the literary equivalent of young progressives attempting to primary the out-of-touch liberal incumbent. Mockingbird, meanwhile, has been challenged from the left, for its use of the N-word and its demeaning portrayal of Black characters. According to (No. 2) Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, by Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi, Mockingbird is “the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of the civil rights movement.”
There’s a lot to unpack in this comparison, too. It’s unfair to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which despite its own racism is a movement novel in a sense Mockingbird never aspired to be. If Mockingbird had been nearly as forceful for civil rights as Uncle Tom’s Cabin had been for abolition, it would never have soared into the curriculum in the 1960s, and it wouldn’t appear on a banned-book list 60 years after its publication.
However, the moment is long past for Mockingbird’s anodyne appeal to basic childhood notions of honor, decency and fairness and its objection to only the most blatant instance of injustice. I agree with those parents and educators who argue that it is past time to set Mockingbird aside. I also agree with the teachers of #DisruptTexts that it’s mistaken to equate calls to stop teaching Mockingbird with censorship. There’s an important distinction between removing a book from a required reading list and banishing it from schools altogether. Times change, and text selections, however much they lag, should change too.
If Mockingbird awakens readers to racism and injustice, as so many have claimed, there are other books that can do so without resting their case on a condescending treatment of Black characters, a white-savior narrative, victim blaming (in the case of the incest survivor Mayella Ewell) and incredible class prejudice (as Nancy Isenberg observes in White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America). If a rationale for assigning Mockingbird to adolescents is to foster social justice, we can do better, including with its competitors on the banned-books list.
However, if a rationale for teaching American literature to college students is to develop understanding of our history and culture, we can’t do better than to study To Kill a Mockingbird. It may be passé, but the hit Broadway adaptation, which attempts to reconcile the novel with a new era, and the novel’s election last year by readers of The New York Times as the “best book of the past 125 years” demonstrate that it is still very much with us.
All the reasons to hesitate to assign Mockingbird to young readers make it valuable for more advanced ones. It may tell us more about its intergenerational audience than it does about small-town, Jim Crow–era Alabama. It lends insights into shifting, contradictory attitudes toward race and racism, especially among white Americans, and the appeal of white-savior narratives. It’s an opportunity to investigate the volatile, negative intersectionality among race, class and gender prejudices. It connects all the dots on the tumultuous timeline of American race conflict, from the Scottsboro Nine to the Little Rock Nine to the Central Park Five to the ongoing count of victims of police violence. Today, it can be an occasion for a discussion among students who came of age with “I can’t breathe” and faculty who may yet remember “Can’t we all just get along?”
Mockingbird may be especially useful as a case study for current and future English teachers, as a means to investigate the social uses of literature. Along with my colleague Jonna Perrillo of the University of Texas at El Paso, and a group of brilliant high school teachers from around the country, I revisited Mockingbird in 2021 as part of a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar on the history of literature instruction in American schools. And I’m teaching it again this semester, in a graduate class that includes preservice teachers. We’ll be spending several weeks with the whole Mockingbird complex—the novel, the film, the proto-sequel, the play, the controversy, the curricula.
Despite its enormous popularity and influence, Mockingbird has received scant attention from scholars, especially in comparison to its senior male counterpart in the curriculum and in controversy, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Perhaps its consignment to the 10th grade and under, and its authorship by a female one-hit wonder, have left it beneath our notice. But it represents a cultural phenomenon that should be of interest to scholars concerned with the role of literature in American society.
Perhaps the aspect of Mockingbird that most demands critical analysis is the life-changing power attributed to it by so many readers. With its famous insistence on point of view, Mockingbird approaches the status of metafiction. One learns and grows by walking about in another’s “skin,” or standing in another’s “shoes,” as Scout does at the close of the novel, when she finally sees Maycomb from Boo Radley’s porch, and, as the reader does throughout, seeing the world from the perspective of its first-person narrator and growing along with her. Here is a theory of fiction, and especially of literary education, that’s worth considering—and critiquing.
Rereading Mockingbird from this perspective addresses an essential question: Why do we teach and study literature? It’s a question that English teachers and students at all levels too often leave unexamined.

The Nigerian Official Selection Committee (NOSC) for the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has announced that it will not be submitting a movie for the 2023 Oscars.
Although the committee received three (3) epic films following its call for submissions last August, it turned out that none of them will advance to the next stage owing to the voting patterns of members.
In a session that lasted two hours on September 3rd, 2023, the NOSC recorded a voting chart of 8;5;1;1 from its 15 members – with “No Film is Eligible” taking the lead.
This is the second year in a row that Nigeria would not be submitting a film for the International Feature Film (IFF) category of the Oscars, the last submission being “The Milkmaid” in 2020.
Chairperson of NOSC, Chineze Anyaene-Abonyi, who had since communicated the development to the AMPAS, expressed regret that the committee could not, again, find a film suitable for the award.
Anyaene-Abonyi stated that “Nigerian films had, no doubt, improved significantly as the awareness of the requirements has since grown among filmmakers, and potentially soon, we just might be bringing this award home in succession.”
She, however, implored filmmakers to “get more acquainted with Oscars-nominated films in the IFF category so as to achieve the needed international recognition and put our films in its acclaimed level of creative discourse.”
The IFF award is presented annually by the Academy to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains 50 percent or more of non-English dialogue.

This Hologic WTA Tour season has already offered up one surprise after another. Why should the last five weeks of the regular season be any different?
The only thing we know for sure: World No.1 Iga Swiatek and No.2 Ons Jabeur have already qualified for the 2022 WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 31-Nov.7. The doubles team of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova, winners of three major titles this year, are back to defend their year-end title. Eight singles players and eight doubles teams will make the cut.
After that, virtually anything is possible. Those who can manage some heavy lifting at the marquee events in these five weeks will punch their ticket for Texas. There are three WTA 500s -- Tokyo, Ostrava and San Diego -- followed by a WTA 1000 in Guadalajara. There are also five WTA 250 tournaments.
The first big-ticket item is the Toray Pan Pacific Open, which began this week in Tokyo. Five of the eight seeded players are in contention: No.1 Paula Badosa, No.2 Caroline Garcia, No.4 Veronika Kudermetova, No.5 Beatriz Haddad Maia and No.8 Elena Rybakina.
Race to the WTA Finals
- Iga Swiatek (9,560)
- Ons Jabeur (4,496)
- Jessica Pegula (3,232)
- Coco Gauff (2,983)
- Caroline Garcia (2,896)
- Aryna Sabalenka (2,871)
- Daria Kasatkina (2,831)
- Simona Halep (2,661) (Out for season)
- Maria Sakkari (2,358)
- Veronika Kudermetova (2,313)
- Paula Badosa (2,264)
Bold=qualified
Garcia, coming off a terrific summer, is in the best position to reach Fort Worth. She currently sits in the fifth spot, while Kudermetova (ninth), Badosa (10th), Haddad Maia (16th) and Rybakina (20th) have some work to do.
Full Race to the WTA Finals leaderboard
Perhaps the biggest recent move regarding the Race to the WTA Finals came off the court. Simona Halep, after undergoing a procedure on her nose for what she said were both medical and aesthetic reasons, declared herself out for the rest of the year. That’s relevant to the dozen or so players trying to finish among the Top 8. Halep, with 2,661 points, was in the eighth spot.
They’re thrilled to have tennis back in Tokyo, where COVID-19 forced the cancellation of play the past two years. That makes 2019 winner Naomi Osaka the defending champion on the outdoor hard-court venue.
Along with No.3 seed Garbiñe Muguruza, Sofia Kenin and Rybakina, Osaka is one of four major champions in the draw. And while she’s not among the viable contenders, Osaka could be a factor in shaping who does or does not get to Fort Worth.
Osaka plays Daria Saville in the first round and the survivor gets the winner between Haddad Maia and Yuki Naito. Haddad Maia picked up 59 points in Portoroz to vault past Anett Kontaveit.
If they had awarded points at Wimbledon, Rybakina would be in terrific shape, but she was busy this past week in Portoroz, collecting 180 points by reaching the final. Siniakova won a 6-7(4), 7-6(5), 6-4 thriller that ran more than three hours. Rybakina eased ahead of Ekaterina Alexandrova in the Race.
Of those in the hunt, Rybakina might have the most challenging first-round match in Tokyo, facing Liudmila Samsonova, whose ranking of No.28 is only three spots lower than Rybakina’s. Samsonova has won 13 of her past 14 matches, including titles in Washington, D.C., and Cleveland. She took out 2021 finalist Leylah Fernandez at the US Open on the way to the fourth round.
After a first-round bye, Badosa faces rising 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen, who took out Misaki Doi on Monday. Kudermetova, also after a bye, faces the winner of the match between Kenin and qualifier Fernanda Contreras Gomez. Garcia gets the winner of Zhang Shuai and Mai Hontama in the second round.
After winning at Roland Garros a year ago, Krejcikova qualified for both singles and doubles at the year-end event in Guadalajara. This year, her sole focus will be doubles, where she and Siniakova are making their fourth consecutive appearance. They won the title in 2021 and became the first all-Czech team to win the WTA Finals and will try to become the seventh team overall to successfully defend the title. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2797221/bubble-watch-badosa-garcia-looking-to-gain-points-in-race-to-the-wta-finals | 2022-09-19T15:24:30Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2797221/bubble-watch-badosa-garcia-looking-to-gain-points-in-race-to-the-wta-finals | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Zheng Qinwen delivered an impressively dominant performance to defeat home hope Misaki Doi 6-2, 6-4 in 1 hour and 20 minutes in the first round of the Toray Pan Pacific Open.
In her most imperious passage of play, the Chinese 19-year-old reeled off 19 consecutive points -- the last three of the first set, and the first 16 of the second to build a 4-0 lead. No.107-ranked Doi battled hard to make the climax of the match more competitive, garnering one of the breaks back. However, Zheng served out the win at the second time of asking to set up a second-round clash against No.1 seed Paula Badosa.
Two former Top 20 players also enjoyed smooth passages into the second round. Petra Martic enjoyed Day 1's quickest win, needing only 69 minutes to defeat qualifier Rina Saigo 6-1, 6-1. No.635-ranked Saigo had been a qualifying wild card and was playing the first WTA main draw of her career.

Elsewhere, Elise Mertens made quick work of Wang Qiang, advancing 6-0, 6-3 in 1 hour and 22 minutes to take a 4-3 lead in their head-to-head. Mertens had lost their first three meetings in three sets, but has dropped only nine games in their most recent three clashes.
Mertens will next face Claire Liu, who defeated the only seed in action on Day 1, No.7 Alison Riske-Amritraj, 6-2, 6-3. The result was Liu's second career victory over a Top 30 player following her upset of Beatriz Haddad Maia in San Jose last month.
Highlights: Mertens d. Wang Qiang | Wang Xinyu d. Perez
Wang Xinyu won Monday's only three-setter, coming from a break down in the first and third sets to defeat qualifier Ellen Perez 7-5, 1-6, 6-4 in 2 hours and 4 minutes. It was just the Chinese 20-year-old's second win in nine matches since she was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon due to a thigh injury.
The final match of Day 1 saw Greece's Despina Papamichail triumph 6-4, 6-2 over China's You Xiaodi in a clash between qualifiers. Papamichail, 29, scored the first WTA main-draw victory of her career in Budapest this July, and this marked her first win at WTA 500 level. She will face No.3 seed Garbiñe Muguruza in the second round. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2797272/zheng-qinwen-mertens-martic-advance-in-tokyo | 2022-09-19T15:24:36Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2797272/zheng-qinwen-mertens-martic-advance-in-tokyo | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Last week, the WTA Hologic Tour calendar included a pair of WTA 250 tournaments -- the Chennai Open in India and Zavarovalnica Sava Portoroz in Slovenia -- along with a 125-level event in Bucharest, the Tiriac Foundation Trophy. Here is a look at some of this week’s notable rankings movements:
Czech Teen makes Top 100 debut
Czech teenager Linda Fruhvirtova won her first career singles title, in Chennai, only her eighth career main-draw appearance at the tour level. Fruhvirtova makes her Top 100 debut, jumping up 56 spots, from No.130 to No.74. At 17 years old, she becomes the youngest player in the Top 100.

Top-ranked doubles player returns to singles Top 50
Last week in Portoroz, Katerina Siniakova captured her first singles title since 2017. Siniakova, the current World No.1 in doubles, collected 280 rankings points in singles and returns to the Top 50 this week. She moves up 33 spots, climbing from No.82 to No.49.

Amazon, Blackstone, Hilton, ManpowerGroup, Marriott International, and Pfizer among brands pledging support for refugees across the U.S.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the United States welcoming tens of thousands of refugees from Afghanistan, Ukraine, and other crises, today, dozens of America's largest employers and best-known brands are announcing new commitments to hire 22,725 refugees in full time positions in the U.S., helping to advance the economic and social integration of refugees across the country. This is the most significant set of business commitments in support of refugees on record.
The U.S. Business Summit on Refugees, organized by the Tent Partnership for Refugees (Tent) — a network of 260 major businesses committed to supporting the economic integration of refugees — brings together leading companies including Amazon, Hilton, PepsiCo, Pfizer, and Tyson Foods, to announce commitments to hire and train thousands of refugees in the United States over the next three years. The Summit is the first in a series of milestones to continue to mobilize companies in support of refugees.
"The American business community is showing incredible leadership, and I am so proud of the companies standing up for refugees today," said Hamdi Ulukaya, CEO of Chobani and founder of Tent. "These companies will benefit from welcoming these hard-working, loyal, and resilient individuals – but my hope is that this is only the beginning. As refugee crises start to fade from the headlines, companies must recognize that hiring refugees is not only the right thing to do, but also the smart thing to do."
The United States is set to welcome hundreds of thousands of refugees in the coming years, including almost 100,000 Afghans by the end of 2022, 100,000 Ukrainians who have fled Russia's invasion, and up to 125,000 refugees per year from other parts of the world who will arrive through the resettlement program. As refugees in the U.S. often face significant challenges finding work – including language barriers, difficulty certifying their credentials, and lack of a professional network – business leadership is critical to help refugees secure jobs.
Among the commitments companies are announcing today:
- Amazon will hire at least 5,000 refugees over three years
- ManpowerGroup will place 3,000 refugees in jobs at its corporate clients over three years
- Tyson Foods will hire 2,500 refugees over three years
- Blackstone portfolio companies and real estate properties will hire 2,000 refugees over three years
- Hilton will hire 1,500 refugees over three years
- Marriott International will hire 1,500 refugees over three years
- Cargill will hire 1,000 refugees over three years
- Gategroup will hire 1,000 refugees over three years
- ISS will hire 1,000 refugees over three years
- Hyatt will hire 500 refugees over three years
- PepsiCo will hire 500 refugees over three years
- Pfizer will hire 500 refugees over three years
"We believe that Amazon is a stronger company because of the diversity of our workforce, and we actively seek to hire people with different backgrounds, skill sets, and levels of experience. Being displaced from your homeland and having to start again somewhere is never easy, which is why we are committed to helping where we can, by providing refugees and other displaced people with access to meaningful employment, as well as immigration support, through our Welcome Door program. It's our privilege to help people make a new start.", said Janet Saura, VP, Employee Relations, WW Amazon Stores and Corporate.
"Our experience connecting refugees with meaningful work across Europe tells us that finding a job is a critical first step for people to get settled, build relationships and integrate themselves and their families into new communities," said Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO. "We believe collective partnership is critical to achieve impact at scale and we are pleased to partner with Tent in mobilizing the business community to improve the lives and livelihoods of millions of refugees. This is how we will create a path to sustainable employment so refugees can rebuild their lives and improve their prospects for a better future."
The following companies are making additional hiring commitments: Accenture, Aimbridge Hospitality, Albea, Amcor, Atento, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Carrols, Chobani, Deloitte, Fedex, Gap Inc., Genpact, Graham Packaging, Great Lakes Cheese, Henry Schein, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Kellogg, Kimball Midwest, La Colombe, Mastercorp, Oneida Nation Enterprises, Panda Express, Red Roof, Silgan Dispensing, Sodexo, Spencer's & Spirit Halloween, Sumitomo Electric, The Body Shop, Transdev, US Xpress.
These hiring commitments are estimated to generate $913 million in income for refugees in the U.S. each year. They will not only help thousands of refugees start their new lives in the U.S. with security and dignity, but also harness the skills and resilience of refugees to strengthen the U.S. workforce, fill key labor gaps, and boost the economy.
In addition, LinkedIn, Coursera, Ipsos, and others, are announcing commitments to provide 13,850 refugees with training opportunities, which will help them gain a better understanding of the U.S. job market, develop skills, and grow their professional networks.
A complete list of the commitments can be found here.
Tent has been active in the U.S. since its founding in 2016. In September 2021, in the wake of the mass evacuation of Afghans to the United States, Tent launched its Coalition for Refugees in the U.S. – which now counts more than 110 U.S. employers – to provide companies with U.S.-specific guidance and resources on how to set up effective refugee hiring and training programs.

With more and more refugees displaced for longer periods of time, businesses have a critical role to play in helping refugees integrate economically in their new host communities. The Tent Partnership for Refugees mobilizes the global business community to improve the lives and livelihoods of more than 36 million refugees who have been forcibly displaced from their home countries. Founded by Chobani's founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya in 2016, we are a network of over 260 major companies committed to including refugees. Tent believes that companies can most sustainably support refugees by leveraging their core business operations – by engaging refugees as potential employees, entrepreneurs and consumers.

Haymarket residents will receive a refund on their real estate taxes just in time for the holiday season.
At a recent meeting, the Haymarket Town Council voted to use a budget surplus to provide real estate tax refunds.
The town wrapped up fiscal 2022, which ended June 30, with a $507,748 surplus. Town officials said the surplus was driven by a conservative budget estimate, increased meals tax and business license revenue and federal stimulus money.
About $250,000 will be used for the refund to taxpayers who paid their bill as of Dec. 31 and checks will be mailed by November. The remaining money will be carried over into the current year’s budget.
The average refund is estimated at $265 for a townhouse and $391 for a single-family home. | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/haymarket-approves-real-estate-tax-refunds/article_c772099a-3800-11ed-8b06-670a62819e78.html | 2022-09-19T15:28:41Z | insidenova.com | control | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/haymarket-approves-real-estate-tax-refunds/article_c772099a-3800-11ed-8b06-670a62819e78.html | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The last time a governor of a state in India met the RSS chief was in 2015 when UP Governor Ram Naik met Mohan Bhagwat. Then the meeting took place in the UP Raj Bhavan, and not in the house of a local RSS worker like when Governor Arif Mohammad Khan met Bhagwat on September 17.
Governor Khan was least apologetic about his decision to go and visit the RSS chief. “He had come to an area, a part of the state of which I am the head. I was not even aware that he was coming. When I knew he was there I went to meet him, to wish him well,” he said on Monday, during the first-ever press meet called by a Governor in Kerala, and added defiantly: “Again if he is here, I will go and meet him.”
Khan said his association with the RSS went a long way back. “I had attended their biggest annual event, the Officers' Training Camp, at least six times. Prominent people outside the RSS are invited to the last day of the event. This is the kind of relationship that I enjoy with the RSS. What is so unusual about it?” asked the Governor.
Khan did not directly address the question of whether it was proper for a Governor to visit the RSS chief. In terms of protocol, a Governor is the fourth most important Constitutional office in the country after the President, Vice President and Prime Minister.
Instead, Khan wanted to know whether RSS was a banned organisation. "Why did Pandit Nehru invite the RSS to participate in the Republic Day parade?" he asked. This happened in 1963 after Nehru was impressed by the voluntary work of the RSS during the Indo-China war in 1962. A 3,000-strong RSS contingent had taken part in the 1963 Republic Parade.
Khan seemed to defend his meeting with Bhagwat not within the framework of his Constitutional role but in his individual capacity. For instance, he said that the RSS had consistently supported him for the stand he had taken in the Shah Bano case. In 1986, Khan walked out of the Rajiv Gandhi ministry when they enacted the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, which nullified the Supreme Court's verdict on the Shah Bano divorce and maintenance case.
"Apart from the RSS, Namboodirippad (CPM stalwart and former Chief Minister EMS) had also supported me. But the Left withdrew their support in 1991, after which they became friendly with the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) members," Khan said. It was under pressure from the AIMPLB that Rajiv Gandhi overturned the Shah Bano verdict.
Further, Khan wanted to know what the fuss was all about when people with RSS roots were occupants of Raj Bhavans across the country. "When you have people openly associated with the RSS in many Raj Bhavans, why do you have a problem with a Raj Bhavan resident meeting the RSS chief," he said.
At one stage, he even seemed to blindly defend RSS' actions. Criticising what he termed the violent ideology of the CPM, Khan expressed shock at the political murders in Kerala. When the RSS' role in these murders was pointed out, Khan said: "The RSS has never been in government. It is the responsibility of the government to prevent such violence."
There is no established code of conduct that bars a governor from making private visits within the state of which he is the head. It is just that governors, even highly political ones, have generally not allowed their personal inclinations to lower the dignity of the high office they hold.
“There is no hard and fast rule that prescribes particular conduct for governors. It is up to the individual to decide whether his or her action would cause a dent to the image of the high office he or she holds,” a former Kerala governor said on the condition of anonymity. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/19/governor-meeting-rss-chief-mohan-bhagwat.amp.html | 2022-09-19T15:29:49Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/19/governor-meeting-rss-chief-mohan-bhagwat.amp.html | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Bananas seem to have an almost supernatural way of turning from green, hard, and not-quite-ripe to “Oh no, brown spots are forming” while you’re not looking.
Thank goodness you can freeze them or use them immediately to make quick and yummy banana bread.
If you want a go-to version of this sweet bread, the Martha Stewart banana bread recipe is a delicious classic. Stewart’s version dates back to her first cookbook, “Entertaining,” which came out in 1982. She’s been making it ever since.
The Martha Stewart banana bread recipe stands out for its inclusion of sour cream for a “subtle tang and super moist texture,” according to her website.
Stewart recommends that you avoid using brown or bruised bananas — but you’ll still want “really ripe” bananas. For those that like nuts, she prefers to put pecans in her bread and make sure they are finely chopped.
Her recipe involves combining butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt and vanilla extract as well, then baking for an hour and 10 minutes. You can also create a filled version with cream cheese frosting, as featured on “The Martha Stewart Show.”
The Martha Stewart banana bread recipe has 4 out of 5 stars from 3,221 ratings on the recipe page, with reviewers raving about it being moist, light and a favorite to make.
If you’re looking for a banana bread option that encourages even mushier bananas, try Sweet + Savory by Shinee’s version. She actually encourages using frozen bananas that are defrosted. Why?
“Because when thawed, bananas get super mushy and liquidy,” Shinee writes. “And all (those) juices are gold! Don’t throw out the liquid, it makes the bread moist and flavorful.”
Nichole of The Salty Marshmallow also loves to use bananas that are past their prime.
“The riper the bananas, the more moist your bread will be and the more banana flavor it will have!” she says.
To keep your banana bread moist the longest, Nichole also recommends that you tightly wrap your cooked banana bread in plastic wrap and then seal that in a plastic bag or storage container.
What stage of ripeness do you like your bananas to be for banana bread?

Getting a tattoo may soon be pain-free and take a lot less time.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a tattoo that can be self-administered.
Microneedles are arranged on adhesive patches. Those patches can be pressed into the skin and deposit the ink.
“We saw this as an opportunity to leverage our work on microneedle technology to make tattoos more accessible,” said Mark Prausnitz, principal investigator. “While some people are willing to accept the pain and time required for a tattoo, we thought others might prefer a tattoo that is simply pressed onto the skin and does not hurt.”
The researchers don't believe microneedle patches will replace traditional tattooing, especially for larger pieces. However, they believe it could be an alternative for small images or letters.
“The goal isn’t to replace all tattoos, which are often works of beauty created by tattoo artists,” Prausnitz said. | https://www.katc.com/news/national/researchers-develop-permanent-self-administered-tattoos | 2022-09-19T15:30:32Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/national/researchers-develop-permanent-self-administered-tattoos | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
CLEVELAND, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- McDonald Hopkins would like to congratulate our client Endless River Technologies LLC, a Northeast Ohio insurance technology startup, which received an $18.3 million jury verdict against the global information and insights company TransUnion LLC for refusing to return Endless River's intellectual property following TransUnion's termination of their partnership agreement in 2018.
The McDonald Hopkins trial team—led by Stephen Rosenfeld, Co-Chair of McDonald Hopkins' Business Litigation Practice Group—asserted that instead of returning the "Quote Exchange" source code upon termination of the agreement as it was required to do, TransUnion claimed ownership over the code and held it hostage for millions of dollars the technology startup was unable to pay. Endless River contended that it lost its market advantage, the ability to monetize the Quote Exchange closed, and that the code became worthless. TransUnion argued that Endless River was seeking "phantom damages" and that it was taking advantage of "TransUnion's mistake."
Quote Exchange, an online marketplace where insurance carriers could buy and sell consumer leads, provided insurers a way to monetize unwanted leads and purchase desired consumer leads. Endless River entered into an agreement with TransUnion in 2014 to build the software and bring the idea to market. According to the lawsuit, the contract stated that the intellectual property rights to the Quote Exchange would revert to Endless River if TransUnion terminated the contract, which TransUnion did as of April 2018.
On September 16, 2022, after a weeklong trial before the Honorable Donald C. Nugent in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Judge Nugent found that TransUnion breached its agreement with Endless River and only sent the issue of damages to the jury. After just over an hour of deliberations, the jury returned a verdict that TransUnion's breach caused more than $18 million of damages to Endless River.
Rosenfeld said, "This five year long lawsuit has been catastrophic to Endless River and devastating to the three entrepreneurs who started it." David Cupar—Chair of McDonald Hopkins' Intellectual Property Department—added, "We are pleased that the jury saw the real harm TransUnion's actions had on Endless River."
McDonald Hopkins' attorneys Stephen J. Rosenfeld, David B. Cupar, David M. Kall, Mark J. Masterson, Christopher F. Allen, and Jacob Radecki represented Endless River Technologies LLC.
TransUnion LLC was represented by Kirkland & Ellis LLP at trial, and also by Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP in this matter.
Founded in 1930, McDonald Hopkins is a business advisory and advocacy law firm with locations in Baltimore/Annapolis, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, and West Palm Beach. With more than 50 service and industry teams, the firm has the expertise and knowledge to meet the growing number of legal and business challenges our clients face.

The staff will be broken at Windsor before Queen Elizabeth II is laid to rest
Following what will be a day of procession and tradition, Queen Elizabeth II will have a final ceremonial send off at Windsor.
This event is known as the breaking of the wand, and will be one of the final parts of the funeral event.
The Queen will be taken from Westminster Abbey to Windsor following the funeral service
According to the official Royal Family website, The Service will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor, with prayers said by the Rector of Sandringham, the Minister of Crathie Kirk and the Chaplain of Windsor Great Park. The Choir of St George’s Chapel will sing during the Service.

What is the wand of office?
The wand of office is a thin white piece of ceremonial equipment, which was once used by the Lord Chamberlain back in the history to keep courtiers in check.
The current Lord Chamberlain is Lord Andrew Parker, Baron Parker of Minsmere, who was appointed on 1 April 2021 and whose first official duties involved planning the funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
What is the breaking of the wand of the office?
The breaking of the wand of office is a ceremonial tradition which brings to an end the sovereign of a monarch.
For Queen Elizabeth II, the wand will be broken and then placed on the late monarch’s coffin.
The website reads: “Prior to the final Hymn, the Imperial State Crown, the Orb and the Sceptre will be removed from Her Majesty The Queen’s Coffin, and placed on the Altar.
“At the end of the final Hymn, The King will place The Queen’s Company Camp Colour of the Grenadier Guards on Her Majesty’s Coffin. At the same time, The Lord Chamberlain will "break" his Wand of Office and place it on the Coffin.
The burial will only take place this evening, following the funeral.
The website adds: “As The Queen’s Coffin is lowered into the Royal Vault, the Dean of Windsor will say a Psalm and the Commendation before Garter King of Arms pronounces Her Majesty’s styles and titles.
“A Private Burial will take place in The King George VI Memorial Chapel later that evening, conducted by the Dean of Windsor.”
This is a tradition never before seen so widely, as the last time this took place was on 15 February 1952 at the funeral of King George VI, who was the father of Queen Elizabeth II. | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/read-this/queen-elizabeth-ii-funeral-what-is-the-breaking-of-the-wand-and-when-will-it-take-place-following-funeral-3847812 | 2022-09-19T15:30:38Z | scotsman.com | control | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/read-this/queen-elizabeth-ii-funeral-what-is-the-breaking-of-the-wand-and-when-will-it-take-place-following-funeral-3847812 | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
There were royalty, entertainers, politicians and world leaders in attendance at Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral on Monday.
There were also health care workers. They were among the 2,000 people invited inside Westminster Abbey for Elizabeth’s funeral.
Earlier this year, Elizabeth honored members of Britain’s National Health Service with the George Cross. They were honored for their efforts in leading the United Kingdom through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their honors were just the third time a collective group has been honored with the George Cross since it was established in 1940.
Among those honored was May Parsons, who administered Britain’s first COVID-19 shot.
“All of the staff in hospitals and our communities went above and beyond during the pandemic to look after patients despite the risks the virus posed to themselves, across health and care, staff sacrificed so much to look after those in need,” Parsons said.
On Monday, it was health care workers paying tribute to the queen.
“Her Majesty the Queen gave steadfast support to the NHS throughout her reign and in return, she had the admiration and respect of staff right across the health service for her leadership, wisdom and devotion to duty,” said NHS chief executive Amanda Pritchard. “Receiving the George Cross from Her Majesty earlier this year was the proudest moment in the NHS’s long history.”
Elizabeth spent much of her final two years at Windsor Castle during the COVID-19 pandemic. The royal family led Elizabeth’s coffin from Westminster Abbey to Windsor in a procession on Monday following the state funeral. | https://www.katc.com/news/world/health-care-workers-invited-to-queen-elizabeth-iis-state-funeral | 2022-09-19T15:30:44Z | katc.com | control | https://www.katc.com/news/world/health-care-workers-invited-to-queen-elizabeth-iis-state-funeral | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

MANHATTAN, N.Y. (WPIX) — A man accused of swinging an ax around inside a New York City McDonald’s was released on his own recognizance after his arraignment, court officials said Sunday.
Michael Palacios allegedly got into a fight with three men in a Manhattan McDonald’s early Friday, police said. He is accused of pulling an ax out during the fight. No injuries were reported.
Palacios allegedly struck two tables and two pieces of glass with the ax, according to the criminal complaint. The tables and glass broke and shattered. Video of the fight has been viewed more than 24 million times on Twitter. The video also shows Palacios being repeatedly punched.
“Bro, please, back up,” someone in the video said when the ax was pulled out.
His release without bail was slammed by Rep. Lee Zeldin, who’s also running as the Republican candidate for governor in New York.
“This guy hacked up tables and walls at a McDonald’s, swung his hatchet wildly at customers, and got released before his fries got cold,” Zeldin said. “Cashless bail in New York must be repealed ASAP!”
Bail law in New York eliminates money bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of New York (NYCLU).
“Those accused of these crimes are either freed without restrictions while their case plays out, or released under certain conditions like electronic monitoring,” stated the NYCLU.
Police took Palacios into custody. They also found a knife in his backpack, officials said.
Palacios was charged with one count of criminal mischief in the fourth degree and a count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/man-accused-of-swinging-ax-during-mcdonalds-fight-released-without-bail/ | 2022-09-19T15:34:35Z | wwlp.com | control | https://www.wwlp.com/news/man-accused-of-swinging-ax-during-mcdonalds-fight-released-without-bail/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
MAGNOLIA, Del.- An airman with the Dover Air Force Base was killed early Sunday morning after running into a SUV while riding a motorcycle in Magnolia.
Delaware State Police say that Senior Airman Kohl Reed, 22, was riding a Honda Motorcycle northbound on Bay Rd. in the left lane, just south of Trap Shooters Rd., around 1:30 a.m. A GMC SUV, driven by a 25-year-old Delaware woman, was ahead of Reed in the right lane.
The woman began to change lanes, and moved in front of the motorcyclist.
Police say, that Reed was speeding and the front tire of the motorcycle hit the back bumper of the SUV.
The airman, who was wearing a helmet, died at the scene, according to police. Reed was assigned to the 436th Aerial Port Squadron.
“No words can take away the pain in our hearts when we lose a member of Team Dover,” said Col. Matt Husemann, 436th Airlift Wing commander, in a statement. “I ask that you lift up Airman Reed’s family and friends as well as the Port Dawg family with all your love, prayers and thoughts. We are all here together to take care of each other and I encourage everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy to reach out to a friend, a leader, or one of our many Team Dover helping agencies in this time of need.”
The woman was wearing her seat belt and was not injured.

Joanne Whalley Talks Sorsha’s Return to Willow on Disney+
Much of the promotion for the new Willow series on Disney+ focuses on the new cast of characters; the younger generation that will continue the adventure. Yet the saga hasn’t forgotten the veterans. In addition to the title character played by Warwick Davis, the show will see the return of Joanne Whalley as Sorsha, now the queen in place of her deceased evil mother. In the 1988 film, she fell for Val Kilmer’s master swordsman Madmartigan, and in real life they married afterwards. Kilmer, who has trouble speaking since a bout with cancer, won’t appear in the show, but Madmartigan’s story will be addressed.
“You can’t do Willow and not have that be an important element of how the story evolved,” says Whalley to EW. “It’s absolutely addressed. You couldn’t do it without it.”
As for Sorsha, “She’s older and wiser. She’s carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and she is struggling under that burden. There are things looming for the people as a whole. There’s stuff in her family relationships that are proving difficult. There’s something she might not have been completely straightforward about [in terms of] the level of honesty between her and her kids. When you’re the carer, when you’re the person in charge and responsible for everyone, you can’t share everything. They have no one to rely on if they think you’re going to crumble. You have to carry it and carry it for everyone.”

“She’s a little world-weary, and there’s stuff coming up that she can see where it’s going that she has anxiety and fear about, but she’s going to deal with things as best she can.”
But while she may be older, don’t count her out of the action. She always knew how to fight, and as Whalley describes it, “It’s not like, ‘Now I’m going to have to use my special strength, and I’m an extraordinary [person].’ There’s a goddamn monster in front of you. If you need to get past, you’re going to have to deal with it.” Several decades on, the actress says, “She’s not laying down. It might have been a while, but sometimes, you just have to deal with what’s in front of you, and she is very practical at heart.”

Genetically modified purple tomatoes are coming soon
Published: Sep. 19, 2022 at 10:35 AM CDT|Updated: 6 minutes ago
(CNN) - Genetically modified purple tomatoes developed by a team of scientists just got USDA approval, clearing the way to be sold at a grocery store near you.
The produce isn’t just pretty in purple – developers say it has more antioxidants and a longer shelf life than garden variety red tomatoes.
The next step is to get the thumbs up from the FDA, and then it’s off to store shelves.

On Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022 FBI agents arrested Roger Golubski — a retired Kansas City, Kansas, Police detective — on charges that he raped, sexually assaulted and kidnapped two women in the 1990s. The indictment and arrest of Roger Golubski was a big deal in the community.
But it’s far from over. These federal charges are just a tiny piece of a decades-long story.
In 1994, Roger Golubski put an innocent man, Lamonte McIntyre, in prison for 23 years. And it wasn’t until 2017, when McIntyre was exonerated and a list of murdered and missing women appeared, that people in power started to realize how deep this went.
Golubski had been using his badge to exploit women for decades — and it was an open secret. There were people who tried to sound the alarm, but not enough people listened.
Introducing: Overlooked, a new investigative podcast from KCUR Studios and the NPR Midwest Newsroom.
For the past two years, KCUR's Peggy Lowe has been investigating corruption within the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department. Overlooked dives deep into the whole story of Golubski, introduces the people who he's wronged, and asks what accountability and justice truly looks like.

LAWRENCE, Kansas — Lawmakers have made a proposal to voters in Kansas: Give us more power. Take away clout from the governor.
A proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution would create a legislative veto — effectively giving the right to lawmakers to cancel regulations imposed by state agencies even when those rules put into practice the laws passed by the Legislature.
Regulatory powers historically have defined a key function of executive branches. If the measure on the Nov. 8 passes, state agencies would find themselves newly accountable — critics might say beholden — to lawmakers.
In Kansas, where the governor’s office has toggled between Republican and Democratic hands while control of the Legislature remains pretty much a GOP thing, it would deliver more power to one party to decide how much to regulate industries.
“This amendment is being driven, overwhelmingly, by one thing and one thing only,” said Russell Arben Fox, a political scientist at Friends University in Wichita. “To prove to Republican voters that the Republican supermajority in the Legislature will never allow a Democratic governor to use their powers in the way that Laura Kelly used her powers.”
Rather than creating a more diverse power structure in the state, Fox said, Kansas conservatives are making a political move to show Kansans which political party truly governs the state.
The amendment would allow the Legislature to take away policy-making capabilities from one of the few statewide offices Democrats periodically control.
Republican lawmakers in the spring presented the proposal as a way to move decision-making away from what they see as career bureaucrats in state government and put more authority in the hands of lawmakers accountable to ordinary Kansans.
They also said it prevents the state’s executive branch — for now, controlled by Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly — from setting rules and regulations that may go further than legislators intended in creating new laws.
But critics see the proposal as a mere power grab by the state’s dominant political party, spurred on by frustration with Kelly’s leadership of the state amid the COVID-19 pandemic. She was the first governor in the country to send students home for the remainder of a school year and she was blistered by Republicans for shutdown actions they thought hurt businesses in ways that were out of proportion to the public health threat.
Kansans will be asked to authorize the change on the same ballots where Kelly is running for reelection against Republican Attorney General Derek Schmidt. Their stances on the amendment fall along party lines, with Schmidt supporting the measure and Kelly opposing it.
The upcoming vote also comes on the heels of voters rejecting another proposed constitutional amendment that some considered to be overreach by Kansas Republicans. Voters overwhelmingly defeated an amendment that would have removed the right to an abortion.
The abortion measure drove record voter turnout. But the potentially far-reaching alteration to the governor’s role is receiving little attention from voters.
Power grab
As the governor of Kansas, Laura Kelly oversees many administrative offices that provide important services across the state.
The governor and her administration must create rules and regulations for how those offices will operate and mark some of the most significant policy decisions a governor can make.
That is why Kansas Republicans want to make the change. Kelly has rubbed many conservative lawmakers the wrong way with decisions she made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kelly signed executive orders installing mask mandates in the state. Republican lawmakers later tried to ban mask mandates and other public health rules, before Kelly vetoed it this year.
Schmidt said bureaucrats that run state agencies and create regulations are an unelected fourth branch of government that needs legislative oversight. He said the amendment would make sure they do not create policies that go further than state law allows.
Meanwhile, Kelly campaign spokesperson Madison Andrus said the amendment would create more red tape and complicate the state’s regulatory processes, effectively throwing sand into the gears of government. Senate Minority Leader Dinah Sykes, a Democrat, recently said the Legislature already has the power to create laws that the executive branch must follow.
But if the amendment is adopted, lawmakers could change a rule with a simple majority rather than face the prospect of having to override a governor’s veto.
The current system allows a governor to veto the Legislature when it tries to reel in the executive branch decisions. The amendment would allow the Legislature to flip the veto power. Schmidt said a few states — red and blue — have enacted legislative veto powers and Kansas should join them.
“It's the right thing to do for transparency and accountability in the administrative state,” Schmidt said.
Support from business groups
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce, a powerful conservative political force for the state’s businesses, also endorsed the measure.
Alan Cobb, president and CEO for the chamber, said that the organization wants to ditch state regulations that hamper businesses and that a legislative veto would help stop regulations that go further than state law. But Cobb said the organization believes the change would be good for all Kansans because it goes further than just reeling in administrative policies that affect businesses.
He also said it’s not aimed at Democrats. The group supported regulatory reform during Republican Gov. Jeff Colyer’s tenure.
“Kansas goes back and forth between Republican and Democratic governors,” Cobb said. “So it's going to apply to both.”
But the change could chill efforts on the state’s ability to regulate business in Kansas.
While debating the amendment in the Kansas House, Democratic state Rep. John Carmichael said that lawmakers would use the new power to invalidate rules and regulations that protect Kansans — such as environmental rules that business groups oppose.
The change could threaten state environmental regulations for clean air and water. Carmichael said industry groups like hog farmers have opposed them as unnecessary and burdensome to business.
Along with the chamber, the Kansas Livestock Association, the Kansas Grain and Feed Association, and Renew Kansas Biofuels Association all supported the proposed amendment.
Flying under the radar
Unlike the the amendment on abortion rights, changes to which government entity gets the final say on rules and regulations hasn’t resonated with many people.
Despite her opposition to the amendment, Sykes said she doesn’t think the amendment is a major issue to voters. She said the proposal may be too far into the political weeds for many to care.
Several Kansans attending the state fair in Hutchinson recently said they were either unaware of the amendment or that they didn’t know much about what it would do to the state government.
Rachael Pankratz of rural Reno County said she had not seen any news on the amendment, but she wasn’t concerned.
“It makes me question what's going to happen to the checks and balances,” Pankratz said. “But I don’t think that it really worries me.”
Election day is Nov. 8. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 18.

Princess Charlotte Wears Her First Hat at the Queen’s Funeral
On the occasion of her great-grandmother’s funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday, Princess Charlotte upheld her family tradition of fine millinery for the first time ever in a flat-brimmed bowler with a bow that matched her A-line coat, tights, and Mary Janes. It made for the seven-year-old’s most grown-up look yet; in fact, she bore a striking resemblance to her mom, newly appointed Princess of Wales Kate Middleton. What’s more, the headpiece may signal that Charlotte is now considered old enough to be required to follow the royal protocol of women in the monarchy wearing hats to all formal royal occasions.
Charlotte also joined her elders in using jewelry to pay tribute to the late monarch, wearing a small silver brooch in the shape of a horseshoe as a nod to the Queen’s lifelong passion for horses. (Her mother, who could reliably be found in her great-grandmother-in-law’s jewels all throughout last week, chose her Bahrain pearl drop earrings and a four-strand pearl choker.)
While the royals are wont to wear flashy fascinators, the hats they wore this time around were more subdued. And they were hardly the only ones to incorporate headpieces that were on the simpler side into their black ensembles. “We changed our shop over to only black hats in anticipation of the needs of our customers,” the noted milliner Stephen Jones told the Business of Fashion. “Many of our simple black hats were re-trimmed with short veils.”
Hopefully they won’t again be on the occasion of a funeral, but if she takes after her mother, keep an eye out for Charlotte’s hats to come. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/princess-charlotte-queens-funeral-first-hat | 2022-09-19T15:47:23Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/princess-charlotte-queens-funeral-first-hat | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Camilla, Kate, Meghan, and Charlotte All Paid Tribute to the Late Queen Through Their Funeral Jewels
The royal family and other esteemed guests gather at Westminster Abbey on Monday for Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral, giving her loved ones one last chance to say goodbye to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. In attendance was the newly-appointed Queen Consort, Camilla, Princess Kate, Meghan Markle, and the young Princess Charlotte, all of whom paid tribute to the late Queen with the help of some royal jewels.
Camilla wore many pieces of jewelry to accompany her all-black mourning look, but it was the brooch placed on her dress—a diamond and sapphire heart-shaped piece—that stood out. The brooch was a gift to Queen Victoria by some of her grandchildren for her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. It features the number 60 in Slavonic characters, celebrating the length of the Queen’s reign at the time. It is thought that Queen Elizabeth gifted her great-great grandmother’s piece to Camilla when she married Charles in 2005. Since then, Camilla has worn the brooch on multiple occasions, including during a trip to Philadelphia in 2007.
Camilla was joined by the new Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, who also wore some emblematic accessories. Kate’s choker could not be missed, standing out against her black coat dress. The choker, featuring four rows of pearls and a diamond clasp, was reportedly made from pearls gifted to the Queen by the Japanese government in the ‘70s. The late monarch was seen wearing the piece multiple times, and also loaned it to Princess Diana for a state visit from Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in 1982. Kate has worn the necklace before, both in 2017 for the Diamond Wedding Anniversary of the Queen and Prince Philip, as well as for Philip’s funeral last year. Kate paired the necklace with pearl earrings made from pearls gifted to the Queen by the Hakim of Bahrain for her wedding in 1947. Again, these jewels were worn over the years by the Queen herself, as well as Diana, who wore them with the choker in 1982. Kate herself has donned the pair many times previously, including at Philip’s funeral.
Meghan Markle, meanwhile, wore the pearl and diamond earrings gifted to her by the Queen back in 2018. Markle also wore the pair last week, when the Queen’s casket was transported from Buckingham Palce to Westminster Hall following its initial arrival in London. Markle paired the jewels with a black, Stella McCartney cape dress, the same design as the navy one she wore for the Queen’s 92nd birthday in 2018.
Finally, seven-year-old Princess Charlotte joined the women of the family in wearing a jeweled-tribute to the Queen as well. Charlotte and her older brother, Prince George, attended the funeral, while four-year-old Louis seemed to stay home. Charlotte wore a wide-brim hat, Mary Jane flats, and a black coat. Pinned on the left side of her coat was a diamond horseshoe, representing the late Queen’s love of horses. According to People, the brooch was a gift to Charlotte from the Queen.
Camilla, Kate, Meghan, Charlotte, and George all stood together during the funeral service, which was attended by over 2,000 people. Now, the Queen’s coffin will process to Windsor Castle, where she will be buried in St. George’s Chapel next to Prince Philip, her husband of 73 years. | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/queen-elizabeth-funeral-jewelry-tributes | 2022-09-19T15:47:29Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/queen-elizabeth-funeral-jewelry-tributes | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Chopova Lowena Wrote Its Own Folklore for Spring 2023
Throughout fashion history, designers have created It bags, It t-shirts, It accessories, and even It hats, but none in recent years have done what Chopova Lowena has for the skirt. People who have never even taken the slightest interest in skirts before are now donning Chopova Lowena’s unhinged, carabiner-belted kilts—Madonna and Dua Lipa are fans, too. The label has successfully created a piece that still has the power to shock in 2022, which says a lot.
Still, Chopova Lowena only had its first runway show this season, staged at Porchester Hall near Paddington Station in London. A slew of the aforementioned skirts, inspired by the founders’ relationships with their Bulgarian roots and folklore, came out in droves, but the designers also found a niche in capitalizing on punkish outerwear, sculptural puffy skirts with bows, button-downs with metal details, crafty-looking knits, printed jeans, and storybook frilly dresses with knots and ties here and there.
To put it simply, Chopova Lowena is writing its own folklore and fast becoming a brand that’s a little weird and a but off-kilter—but perfectly content in its many oddities. Founded by Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena, this season’s collection was titled, “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose,” a quote from a Gertrude Stein poem, and looked to Bulgaria’s Rose festival for inspiration.
The skirts were glorious, but Chopova Lowena also excelled by showing pieces that kept real-life styling in mind. Especially before the brand really blew up, one could easily see street style stars, stylists, and industry insiders wearing the mini kilts over baggy jeans, with leggings, over a big old band tee, or even paired with a dress—and the collection conveyed the same DIY spirit.
There were also lots of new styles to get excited about: suiting and bra tops done the Chopova Lowena way (covered in metal studs and silver swirl motifs that make a slight clanking noise as one walks—or rendered in leather crochet); oversized outerwear; denim vests and skirts with those same carabiners; hoodies and knitwear with the label’s signature crafty aesthetic; knitted tinsel lacrosse jerseys, and Chopova Lowena’s well-loved flocked fabrics in totally new, maximalist silhouettes.
In the past, Chopova Lowena has prioritized a diverse casting in their look books, and there was plenty of that here, too. The range of models—combined with the mini skirts, big jackets, raver-style boots with pom-poms and baggy hippie jeans—felt like a play on subcultures and expressive individuality. As a mix of heavy metal, Bulgarian folk music, and lacrosse players screaming blasted over the speakers, the final lineup felt reminiscent of the most stylish high school cafeteria full of cheerleaders, punks, Goths, cool kids, and jocks. At the school of Chopowa Lowena, having a distinct and directional vision is key to coolness. | https://www.wmagazine.com/fashion/chopova-lowena-spring-2023-london-fashion-week-review | 2022-09-19T15:47:35Z | wmagazine.com | control | https://www.wmagazine.com/fashion/chopova-lowena-spring-2023-london-fashion-week-review | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

After making landfall along the extreme southwestern coast of Puerto Rico on Sunday afternoon, Hurricane Fiona made a second landfall about 12 hours later in the eastern Dominican Republic early Monday morning.
Maximum sustained winds for Fiona’s first landfall in Puerto Rico were estimated at about 85 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. High winds were reported across the island on Sunday, including a 103-mph wind gust in the city of Ponce.
Hurricane Fiona was slightly stronger for its second landfall in the Dominican Republic, with maximum sustained winds estimated at about 90 mph – still a Category 1 hurricane. The Punta Cana International Airport clocked a 79-mph wind gust near the time of landfall in the pre-dawn hours of Monday.
The entire archipelago of Puerto Rico was plunged into a blackout Sunday afternoon as Hurricane Fiona’s high winds caused severe damage to the U.S. territory’s power grid, which was destroyed by Hurricane Maria about five years ago in October 2017. Nearly 1.5 million customers were without power on Sunday afternoon.
According to LUMA Energy – the power company responsible for Puerto Rico – power had been restored to about 100,000 customers as of Monday morning within the municipalities of Toa Alta, Toa Baja, the San Juan metropolitan area, Bayamón and Corozal.
In addition to the blackout, torrential rain from Hurricane Fiona has caused “catastrophic flooding” across Puerto Rico, the National Hurricane Center said. The National Weather Service office in San Juan had issued a Flash Flood Emergency for parts of Puerto Rico on Sunday night as the catastrophic flood event was producing 2 to 4 inches of rain per hour.
More than 2 feet of rain has already fallen in portions of Puerto Rico, including Ponce and Lago Cerrillos, over the past two days.
President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for Puerto Rico on Sunday ahead of Hurricane Fiona’s arrival. That declaration authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency to mobilize equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the storm.
Some residents of Puerto Rico did not take the storm for granted and used the hours before Fiona’s arrival to stock up on gasoline and other supplies.
Hurricane Fiona turned deadly Friday evening after a man was swept away by floodwaters on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe after heavy rainfall.
Several islands in the eastern Caribbean also reported roof damage, power outages and flooding.
As of Monday morning, Hurricane Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph with higher gusts. Fiona was slowly moving off to the northwest at 8 mph. The center of the hurricane was about 35 miles southeast of Samana in the Dominican Republic.
Fiona’s wind and rain impacts will continue to spread across the Dominican Republic through Monday night while the hurricane’s outer rainbands also persist over Puerto Rico into Monday afternoon.
Where are watches and warnings in effect?
A Hurricane Warning has been issued for the coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Caucedo to Cabo Frances Viejo, as well as for the Turks and Caicos. A Hurricane Warning means sustained winds of at least 74 mph are expected.
A Hurricane Watch has been issued for the northern coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Frances Viejo westward to Puerto Plata. A Hurricane Watch means sustained winds of at least 74 mph are possible – in this case, within the next 12 to 24 hours.
Tropical Storm Warnings have been issued for Puerto Rico, portions of the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, as well as the southeastern Bahamas. A Tropical Storm Warning means sustained winds between 39 and 73 mph are expected within the next 36 hours.
A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the southern coast of the Dominican Republic from west of Cabo Caucedo to Barahona. A Tropical Storm Watch means sustained winds between 39 and 73 mph are possible within the next 48 hours.
What is the forecast for Hurricane Fiona?
Hurricane Fiona will move slowly toward the northwest through Monday night before making a turn toward the north-northwest on Tuesday and eventually a northward turn by Wednesday.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, this track will take the center of Hurricane Fiona over the eastern portion of the Dominican Republic through Monday morning, then it will emerge over the southwestern Atlantic on Monday afternoon. Fiona is predicted to pass near or to the east of the Turks and Caicos on Tuesday.
Some strengthening is expected over the next few days after the hurricane emerges over the southwestern Atlantic, and Fiona is expected to become a major hurricane (Category 3 or stronger) by Wednesday.
What are the impacts of Hurricane Fiona?
Hurricane-force winds (74-plus mph) are currently spreading across portions of the Dominican Republic within the Hurricane Warning area. Tropical-storm-force winds (39-plus mph) will continue on Puerto Rico through Monday morning and over portions of the Dominican Republic within the Tropical Storm Warning area through Monday night.
Heavy rain from the outer bands of Hurricane Fiona will continue across Puerto Rico into Monday afternoon. The center of Fiona will persist over the eastern Dominican Republic into Monday afternoon with heavy rainbands then lasting through Monday night.
Hurricane Fiona is expected to dump an additional 4 to 6 inches of rain across southern Puerto Rico, with isolated amounts up to 10 inches. Storm totals between 12 and 20 inches are expected, with localized maximum amounts up to 30 inches.
In northern portions of Puerto Rico, an additional 1 to 4 inches of rain is likely, with isolated amounts up to 6 inches. That will result in storm totals of 4 to 12 inches, with localized maximum amounts up to 20 inches.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the heavy rain will continue to produce life-threatening and catastrophic flooding, along with mudslides and landslides, across Puerto Rico.
Flood Watches remain in effect for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands through Monday afternoon.
In the northern and eastern Dominican Republic, Hurricane Fiona is forecast to drop an additional 4 to 6 inches of rain, with isolated amounts up to 8 inches. This will result in storm totals up to 15 inches in the eastern Dominican Republic.
Between 1 and 4 inches of rain is predicted for the rest of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
The Turks and Caicos are expected to receive 4 to 8 inches of rain from Hurricane Fiona, while the southeastern Bahamas are forecast to pick up 1 to 3 inches of rain.
Will Hurricane Fiona threaten Florida or the U.S. East Coast?
A dip in the jet stream is forecast to move over Florida and the Bahamas early this week, which will provide an opening for Hurricane Fiona to make a northward turn.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, confidence has increased in Fiona’s track which will take it near or to the east of the Turks and Caicos on Tuesday and then out into the western and central Atlantic – away from Florida and the U.S. East Coast.
However, Fiona will intensify as it moves north, potentially into a Category 3 or stronger hurricane, and these high winds will send large waves toward the U.S. East Coast toward the end of the week, increasing the risk of life-threatening rip currents.
The various possibilities of Fiona’s track overlaid on the five-day forecast cone of uncertainty are shown on the map below, and you can see there’s good agreement among the computer forecast models.
Another area to watch in Atlantic
In the central subtropical Atlantic, a weak area of low pressure is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, some slow development of this system is possible over the next couple of days before environmental conditions become less favorable later this week.
This system is expected to generally move northward or northeastward while remaining over the open central subtropical Atlantic.
The National Hurricane Center currently gives the system a low chance of development in the next five days.
2022 Atlantic hurricane season off to a slow start
Early to mid-September is the time of the season when sea-surface temperatures are the warmest, upper-level winds relax and drier air is typically not widespread.
Unlike recent active years, dry air has been more dominant than usual across the eastern parts of the Atlantic Basin, which has stunted the organization and development of tropical cyclones.
August ended without seeing a single tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Basin for only the second time in the satellite era.
During an average year, nine named storms and four hurricanes have typically already formed by now, but so far in 2022, the tally stands at just six named storms and three hurricanes. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/hurricane-fiona-makes-second-landfall-in-dominican-republic-after-lashing-puerto-rico/ | 2022-09-19T15:53:35Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/hurricane-fiona-makes-second-landfall-in-dominican-republic-after-lashing-puerto-rico/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Former President Donald Trump said he returned to his Florida home late Sunday to find Mar-a-Lago “ransacked” and accused FBI agents of traipsing through his bedroom without removing their shoes when they raided his ritzy resort home last month.
“Arrived in Florida last night and had a long and detailed chance to check out the scene of yet another government ’crime,’ the FBI’s Raid and Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago. I guess they don’t think there is a Fourth Amendment anymore, and to them, there isn’t,” the 45th president wrote Monday on his Truth Social media platform.
“In any event, after what they have done, the place will never be the same. It was ’ransacked,’and in far different condition than the way I left it. Many Agents – And they didn’t even take off their shoes in my bedroom. Nice!!!” he continued.
The FBI raided the former president’s palatial oceanfront resort in Palm Beach on Aug. 8 while he was away at his golf course in Bedminster, NJ, and seized boxes of materials he removed from the White House, including documents marked classified and top secret.
Hours after the raid, Trump accused FBI agents of breaking into his safe, rifling through his drawers and even going through wife Melania’s closet.
Trump, who has blasted the raid as a “witch hunt,” told his followers earlier Sunday that he would be returning to Florida and would examine the damage firsthand.
“I’ll soon be heading to the scene of the unwarranted, unjust, and illegal Raid and Break-In of my home in Florida, Mar-a-Lago. I’ll be able to see for myself the results of the unnecessary ransacking of rooms and other areas of the house,” he said on his account.
“It has already been proven that so much has been wrongfully taken, it is not a ‘pretty thing.’ So sad! The 4th Amendment, and much more, has been totally violated, a grave invasion of privacy. I will keep the American public informed on TRUTH!” he added.
Since the raid, the case has been caught up in a legal battle between Trump’s lawyers and the Justice Department, resulting in US District Judge Aileen Cannon ordering a special master to examine the documents to determine whether they are shielded by attorney-client or executive privilege.
Judge Raymond Dearie will hold a hearing in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday for a preliminary conference between Trump’s lawyers and the Justice Department.
Cannon appointed Dearie, 78, as the third-party arbiter and effectively blocked the feds from examining the roughly 300 classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago until the review is concluded. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/trump-says-fbi-ransacked-mar-a-lago-in-raid/ | 2022-09-19T15:53:59Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/trump-says-fbi-ransacked-mar-a-lago-in-raid/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
It’s a royal shame!
As the world bids its final farewell to the late Queen Elizabeth II with a grand funeral fit for, well, a queen, social media whistle blowers are blasting her majesty’s family for refusing to allow Prince Harry to salute his beloved grandmother during her last promenade.
“What’s most upsetting is that because Prince Harry was not allowed to wear his uniform, he wasn’t allowed to salute his commander-in-chief, granny, one last time. Sending you love, Harry,” tweeted a ticked-off cyber critic.
“Poor Prince Harry,” penned another Twitter complainer.” “My heart breaks for that kid, not allowed his uniform or to salute… can’t they just bloody let it go….hate seeing him being treated like a second-class citizen after all his been through with losing his mother.”
Harry, 38, dressed in a black suit, kept his hands tightly at his sides while father King Charles III, Princess Ann, brother Prince William, 40, the Prince of Wales, and other royals respectfully raised their right hands to the brim of their military hats, honoring Her Grace during the state funeral Monday.
Formerly the Duke of Sussex, Harry, who served two tours in Afghanistan as a forward air controller and pilot with the British Army Air Corps, also did not wear his military uniform as did his decorated kin.
And digital detractors were outraged by the disrespect.
“One thing I don’t agree with is that Prince Harry wasn’t allowed to wear his military uniform to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. Given he was the only royal to serve two tours of Afghanistan, I thought he should be bestowed this right,” said an advocate of the estranged dignitary.
“The fact that Prince Harry is not allowed to wear his uniform is a disgrace, are you seriously putting him at the same level as pedo Andrew?” another keyboard commentator cried.
However, at King Charles III’s request, Harry did don military garb for the Queen’s vigil at Westminster Hall Saturday.
The rift between the alienated prince and his majestic ménage spurred in 2020, when he renounced his royal duties to relocate to California with wife Meghan Markle, 41, and their children.
In addition to being barred from the family’s last salute to the Queen, Harry and Megan were also relegated to the second row at her funeral at Westminster Abbey Monday.
Unlike Prince William and Kate Middleton, 40, who sat and center alongside their children, Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, the estranged royals were forced into corner seating.
They were positioned behind disgraced Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal and military titles owing to his association with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Harry and Meghan were also uninvited to a state reception for world leaders and foreign royals Sunday.
Some online observers think it’s only fitting that Harry is ostracized by his regal bloodline, owing to his and Meghan’s unabashed bashing of the monarchy.
“Harry chose to step away from his duties & entire family yet still profits from them just like his wife. They have dragged their families name through the mud! He lost the right to wear the uniform,” argued a Twitter user.
So far, neither Harry nor Meghan have openly commented on their treatment during the Queen’s services. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/twitter-scolds-royals-for-not-letting-harry-salute-wear-uniform/ | 2022-09-19T15:54:05Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/twitter-scolds-royals-for-not-letting-harry-salute-wear-uniform/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
MANHATTAN, N.Y. (WPIX) — A man accused of swinging an ax around inside a New York City McDonald’s was released on his own recognizance after his arraignment, court officials said Sunday.
Michael Palacios allegedly got into a fight with three men in a Manhattan McDonald’s early Friday, police said. He is accused of pulling an ax out during the fight. No injuries were reported.
Palacios allegedly struck two tables and two pieces of glass with the ax, according to the criminal complaint. The tables and glass broke and shattered. Video of the fight has been viewed more than 24 million times on Twitter. The video also shows Palacios being repeatedly punched.
“Bro, please, back up,” someone in the video said when the ax was pulled out.
His release without bail was slammed by Rep. Lee Zeldin, who’s also running as the Republican candidate for governor in New York.
“This guy hacked up tables and walls at a McDonald’s, swung his hatchet wildly at customers, and got released before his fries got cold,” Zeldin said. “Cashless bail in New York must be repealed ASAP!”
Bail law in New York eliminates money bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of New York (NYCLU).
“Those accused of these crimes are either freed without restrictions while their case plays out, or released under certain conditions like electronic monitoring,” stated the NYCLU.
Police took Palacios into custody. They also found a knife in his backpack, officials said.
Palacios was charged with one count of criminal mischief in the fourth degree and a count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/man-accused-of-swinging-ax-during-mcdonalds-fight-released-without-bail/ | 2022-09-19T15:54:33Z | siouxlandproud.com | control | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/man-accused-of-swinging-ax-during-mcdonalds-fight-released-without-bail/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A strong earthquake shook much of Taiwan on Sunday, toppling a three-story building and temporarily trapping four people inside, stranding about 400 tourists on a mountainside, and knocking part of a passenger train off its tracks.
One person died and nine people had minor injuries, Taiwan's Emergency Operations Center said.
The magnitude 6.8 quake was the largest among dozens that have rattled the island's southeastern coast since Saturday evening, when a 6.4 quake struck the same area.
Most of the damage appeared to be north of the epicenter, which Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said was in the town of Chishang at the relatively shallow depth of 7 kilometers (4 miles).
In nearby Yuli town, a cement factory worker died and the three-story building, which had a 7-11 convenience store on the ground floor and residences above it, collapsed, the island's Central News Agency said.
The 70-year-old owner of the building and his wife were rescued first, but it took longer to get to a 39-year-old woman and her 5-year-old daughter.
A photo released by the Hualien city government showed the girl lying on a blanket and being handed down a metal ladder from the top of the debris by helmeted rescue workers in orange uniforms.
The top two stories of the building were left sprawled across a small street and onto the other side, with electricity wires pulled down by the fallen structure.
More than 7,000 households were reported without power in Yuli, and water pipes were also damaged. Shelves and musical instruments fell over at the Mount Carmel Presbyterian Church and a long crack ran down its floor. Outside, the pavement was broken into slabs of concrete.
Police and firefighters rushed to a bridge collapse on a two-lane road in what appeared to be a rural part of the same town where three people and one or more vehicles may have fallen off, according to media reports.
Also in Yuli, a landslide trapped nearly 400 tourists on a mountain famous for the orange day lilies that blanket its slopes this time of year, the Central News Agency said. They had no electricity and a weak cellphone signal.
Debris from a falling canopy on a platform at Dongli station in Fuli town, which is between Yuli and the epicenter at Chishang, hit a passing train, derailing six cars, the Central News Agency said, citing the railway administration. None of the 20 passengers were injured.
The shaking was felt at the north end of the island in the capital, Taipei. In Taoyuan city, west of Taipei and 210 kilometers (130 miles) north of the epicenter, a man was injured by a ceiling collapse on the 5th floor of a sports center.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory for several southern Japanese islands near Taiwan, but later lifted it. | https://www.fox17online.com/news/world/strong-quake-kills-1-knocks-house-derails-train-in-taiwan | 2022-09-19T15:59:28Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/news/world/strong-quake-kills-1-knocks-house-derails-train-in-taiwan | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The tone in market has changed completely in the last 90 minutes.
The dip buyers emerged first in equities and commodities but have also arrived in crypto and now in some beaten-down currencies.
The move hit before the latest WSJ Fed preview from Timiraos but has extended since then. The report doesn't read like a leak and highlights a Fed that will be resolute in tackling inflation. But it's also important for what it doesn't say: There's no leak about a 100 bps hike and everyone assumes there would be, similar to in June when the Fed leaked it. The implied odds of a 100 bps have fallen to 15 bps from 21 bps at the start of the day.
With that, the dollar has continued to slide. The euro, pound and commodity currencies have bene the chief beneficiaries and are now essentially square on the day -- reeling in some large losses.
The chart below is AUD/USD, which has done a nice job holding the 0.6675 area after looking like it was breaking down late last week. | https://www.forexlive.com/news/us-dollar-gives-back-gains-in-broad-slide-20220919/ | 2022-09-19T16:11:33Z | forexlive.com | control | https://www.forexlive.com/news/us-dollar-gives-back-gains-in-broad-slide-20220919/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Puerto Rico reeling from Hurricane Fiona as storm pulls away
Hurricane Fiona continued to dump large amounts of rain on Puerto Rico as it moved away from land early Monday morning, contributing to widespread flooding across the island and leaving millions without power.
The latest: The hurricane strengthened before making landfall in the Dominican Republic to the south-southwest of Punta Cana on Monday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.
- The hurricane's center was moving off the northern coats of the Dominican Republic as of 11 a.m. and was moving northwestward at around 8 miles per hour.
- It made landfall as a category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 90 mph.
- The hurricane's center was inland over the eastern Dominican Republic as of 5 a.m. and was moving toward the northwest at around 8 miles per hour.
Threat level: The National Weather Service said rainbands from Hurricane Fiona are expected to continue moving across Puerto Rico on Monday, bringing even more rain to the island.
- Parts of the southern portion of the island could see an additional 4 to 6 inches of rainfall on top of at least 20 inches that's already fallen, while an additional 1 to 4 inches could fall on parts of the north, where 4 to 12 inches have already dropped.
- Rainfall could reach 30 inches, per the NHC.
- This amount of rain is enough to produce what the National Weather Service described as "life-threatening and catastrophic flooding along with mudslides and landslides."
- NWS in San Juan urged people to "MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY!" at around 8 a.m., "especially across the southern and western half of Puerto Rico."
By the numbers: More than 1.4 million customers in Puerto Rico were without power as of Monday morning, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks outages in the U.S.
What they're saying: LUMA Energy, the company responsible for power distribution and power transmission in Puerto Rico, said on its website the island's electric system "has experienced several transmission line outages which have contributed to an island-wide power outage."
- "The current weather conditions are extremely dangerous and are hampering our ability to fully assess the situation," it continued. "Given the size and scope of the outage, as well as ongoing impacts of Hurricane Fiona, full power restoration could take several days."
What's next: The hurricane is forecast to strengthen as it pulls away from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, with hurricane conditions expected in the Turks and Caicos Islands on Tuesday.
- The southeastern portion of the Bahamas could experience tropical storm conditions late Monday or early Tuesday, according to the National Hurricane Center. | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/19/puerto-rico-hurricane-fiona-flooding-power-outages | 2022-09-19T16:12:35Z | axios.com | control | https://www.axios.com/2022/09/19/puerto-rico-hurricane-fiona-flooding-power-outages | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The Crown has been a huge favourite ever since its first series was released in 2016. The historical drama offers an insight into the reign of Queen Elizabeth II - one which is very much in the spotlight following Her Majesty's death on September 8.
It is reportedly Netflix's most expensive series ever produced, estimated to be around £100m at the time of the release of the first series. It was created by Peter Morgan and was directed by the likes of Benjamin Caron, Samuel Donovan and Jessica Hobbs.
In front of the camera, there's also a star-studded line-up. Claire Foy and Olivia Colman take the lead role as Queen Elizabeth II across the first four series, while Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies both played Prince Philip.

While Buckingham Palace, Balmoral and Kensington Palace have all been key locations crews have descended on as part of filming, you may be surprised to know that Kent has also played its part. The Kent Film Office has highlighted two locations that were used for filming in the first four series of The Crown between 2016 and 2020.
The Chatham Historic Dockyard was visited during the first series in order to film a dockside scene on Anchor Wharf after building part of a ship. It's a location that has previously features on screen in Suffragette, Downton Abbey and Les Miserables, and has strong links dating back to the 17th century.
Brompton Barracks in Chatham was also visited during series four. According to The Kent Film Office, it is "ideally suited as a location to double for iconic London landmarks with a large parade ground, vaulted cellars under the Officer’s Mess, statues, stone bridges, a museum and a large ornate arch."
Both locations have in fact been visited by members of the Royal Family in recent times. During a visit to the county on February 2, King Charles III - who was Prince of Wales at the time - paid a visit to Chatham Historic Dockyard in the morning.
The King is in fact a patron of the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust and was shown the new Diving Deep: HMS Invincible 1744 display – the dockyard's temporary exhibition for 2022. This exhibition then opened to the public on February 12.
Back in October 2016, Her Majesty the late Queen visited Brompton Barracks to meet the Corps of the Royal Engineers to mark the corps 300th anniversary. During her visit, The Queen, who was the Colonel-in-Chief of the Corps of Royal Engineers, inspected the 140 troops based at the barracks in Chatham.
Looking stunning in a turquoise coat and matching dress with black velvet lining, the Queen was welcomed by the national anthem and salutes from senior officers. During a speech she told troops: "I am delighted to be able to share with you this momentous moment in the history of the corp. Since my last visit in 2007 you have been at the forefront of innovation."

Universal Credit rule changes will come into force next week which could leave thousands at risk of losing their benefits. The government is launching a new "intensive work search" scheme which will see 114,000 people moved from the "light touch" scheme which will mean claimants will be under more pressure to find work.
There will also be changes to the Administration Earnings Threshold (AET) for those claiming the benefit. The AET rate is being increased from £355 a month to £494 a month, or from £567 a month to £782 a month for joint claims, from September 26, The Mirror reports.
This is the equivalent of an individual working 12 hours per week, or a couple working 19 hours per week between them. If your income is above the AET rates, you will be in the "light touch" workgroup. This means you’re not required to look for work as it stands, and you have less direct contact with the JobCentre.

But if you earn below these amounts, you will be in the "intensive work search" group. This could mean you may be pressured into finding work or taking on more hours in your existing job, in order to keep your Universal Credit.
You will be given the number of hours you have to search for jobs each week. It will depend on your circumstances such as health conditions, childcare commitments etc.
But you face sanctions if you fail to take part in any of your commitments without good reason. This could even lead to your benefits being stopped.
Some of the work activities that you might be asked to take part in include:
- Carrying out work searches
- Making applications
- Creating and maintaining an online history
- Registering with an employment agency
- Creating and maintaining job profiles – however, you must not be mandated to use particular internet or social media sites (this must be entirely voluntary)
- Seeking references
- Any other actions which reasonably increase the likelihood of obtaining employment
Work and Pensions Secretary Thérèse Coffey said the new approach will "help claimants get quickly back into the world of work while helping ensure employers get the people they and the economy needs".
She added: "Helping people get any job now, means they can get a better job and progress into a career.
"Way to Work is a step change in our offer to claimants and employers, making sure our JobCentre network and excellent work coaches can deliver opportunities, jobs and prosperity to all areas of the country."

As the Queen's state funeral continues, her ever-faithful corgis have been spotted waiting to welcome Her Majesty on her final journey back to Windsor Castle. Snaps have shown two pooches being walked inside Windsor Castle as they wait for the coffin to arrive.
In her lifetime, Her Majesty owned more than 30 corgis and dachshund-corgi mixes. For her Golden Jubilee, a new coin depicting the Queen alongside a corgi was issued.
As reported by the Telegraph, the late monarch chose to stop taking on corgis in the mid-2010s as she did not want to leave any dog behind when she died. She has been survived by two pooches: Muick and Sandy.

With the two dogs now being photographed waiting for the Queen's coffin to arrive at its final destination, mourners have flocked to Twitter to share the emotional moment. One social media user, @ClaireBear11223 penned: "Seeing The Queen's dogs waiting for her has broken me.
"I wonder if they know she's never coming home." Another, @ekr1989 , commented: "You know I good, I hadn't cried or teared up watching Queen Elizabeth's funeral but it was when they showed the corgis that I started to bawl."
We've started an online book of condolence for readers to pay their final tribute to Queen Elizabeth II - you can share yours here.
Some Twitter users compared the emotional moment to Prince Phillip's funeral where a carriage horse loved by Phillip was given a sugar lump. @toriaa_h penned: "I've not been too bad really all day but this? Nah. This got me."
@DanLit111 commented: "They must be really sad as they haven't seen their Queen for a week and a bit now. They must be wondering where she is."
Prince William assured members of the public earlier in the week that Sandy and Muick are being well cared for and will be spoilt rotten. The pair are to be taken care of by the Duke and Duchess of York, Prince Andrew and Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson.
Prince William told mourners: "I saw them the other day, that got me quite sad. They are going to be looked after fine."
He continued: "They are two very friendly corgis, so they've got a good home. They'll be looked after very well. Spoiled rotten, I'm sure."

Funds from the U.S Department of Justice could go to support law enforcement officer recruitment, intelligence and patrolling efforts in Yakima.
The city was awarded a Justice Assistance Grant in the amount of $66,982, which the council will consider accepting at a business meeting Tuesday. A public hearing is required for the item, and residents are invited to comment.
According to a draft agreement included in the council agenda packet, the city will use about $51,344 for patrol efforts, officer recruitment and software purchases.
Some funding will be used to expand recruitment efforts throughout the state and to other regions, while some will go to reimburse officer overtime on patrols.
The funds will also be used to acquire computer software that will allow the department’s three analysts to analyze open source data for intelligence on potential threats shared via social media, according to the document.
The remaining $15,638 of the total balance will be distributed to Yakima County to purchase new portable radios for deputies, according to the draft agreement.
The radios will replace the Sheriff’s Office’s portable radios that are not narrowband-capable.
People can comment on the grant and funding plan during the meeting by visiting bit.ly/YHRcomment and filling out the comment request form. People also can email ccouncil2@yakimawa.gov or call 509-575-6060.

LONDON (AP) — For U.S. President Joe Biden, it was the crumpets. For his wife, first lady Jill Biden, it was the tea.
Joe and Jill Biden on Sunday helped honor Queen Elizabeth II by sharing memories of their tea time last year when she invited them to join her at Windsor Castle, near London.
The president, who said after that 2021 visit that Elizabeth reminded him of his late mother, recalled Sunday that she kept offering him crumpets. He did not refuse.
“I kept eating everything she put in front of me,” he said. “But she was the same in person as … her image: decent, honorable, and all about service.”
The queen, who was Britain’s longest-serving monarch, died earlier this month after a 70-year reign. Biden is among hundreds of heads of state and other dignitaries who are in London to attend her state funeral service Monday at Westminster Abbey.
The first lady told The Associated Press in a telephone interview after she and the president attended a reception at Buckingham Palace that “what really impressed me” about the queen was “just how warm and gracious she was.”
“I loved her sense of curiosity. She wanted to know all about American politics and so she asked Joe question after question,” Jill Biden said. She said sitting in Elizabeth’s living room was “almost like being, you know, with your grandmother.”
“And she said, ‘Let me pour the tea,’ and we said, ‘No, no, let us help,’ and she said ‘Oh, no, no, no, I’ll get this. You sit down,’” Jill Biden said. “And it was just a very special moment with a very special woman.”
The Bidens paid their respects to the queen on Sunday by traveling to Westminster Hall, where she has been lying in state, to stand before the monarch’s coffin in the presence of thousands of mourners who had spent hours upon hours waiting to file past.
They then signed condolence books at Lancaster House before going to Buckingham Palace for a reception hosted by King Charles III and other royal family members for the world leaders who flew in for the funeral.
After signing the book, Biden said his his heart goes out to the royal family because the queen’s death has left it with a “giant hole.”
“Sometimes you think you’ll never, you’ll never overcome it,” said Biden, who often speaks in very personal terms about loss following the death of his first wife and infant daughter, and later an adult son. “But as I’ve told the king, she’s going to be with him every step of the way — every minute, every moment. And that’s a reassuring notion.”
While viewing the coffin on Sunday, the first lady said, she watched a little boy dressed in a Boy Scout uniform come in and give the queen a three-finger salute.
“I mean, it just gave me a lump in my throat,” she said, and showed ”how much the people really loved their queen, no matter their ages.”
President Biden wrote in the condolence book that the queen “was admired around the world for her unwavering commitment to service.”
The first lady signed a separate condolence book for spouses and ambassadors, writing “Queen Elizabeth lived her life for the people. She served with wisdom and grace. We will never forget her warmth, kindness and the conversations we shared.”
In the interview, Jill Biden cautioned that there’s a “human piece” to the queen’s death.
Speaking of Charles, she said: “He is the king, but no one should forget, he lost his mother and, you know, Prince William lost a grandmother. Sometimes we tend to forget the really human piece of this and the sorrow that they … have to bear and how they have to grieve in public. But they seem to be doing OK,” she said.
More than 2,000 people were expected at Westminster Abbey for Monday’s funeral.

Some census takers who falsified information during the 2020 count didn’t have their work redone fully, weren’t fired in a timely manner and in some cases even received bonuses, according to the U.S. Commerce Department’s watchdog group.
The findings released Friday by the Office of Inspector General raise concerns about possible damage to the quality of the once-a-decade head count that determines political power and federal funding,
Off-campus students at colleges and universities were likely undercounted since the census started around the same time students were sent home to stop the spread of COVID-19 in March 2020, the review found.
During the 2020 census, The Associated Press documented cases of census takers who were pressured by their supervisors to enter false information into a computer system about homes they had not visited so they could close cases during the waning days of the census.
Supervisors were able to track their census takers’ work in real time through mobile devices that the census takers used to record information about households’ numbers, demographic characteristics and members’ relationships to one another. As a result, supervisors would get alerts when actions raised red flags about accuracy, such as a census taker recording data on a home while far away from the address or a census taker conducting an interview in just a few minutes. As a quality control check, others census takers were sent back to homes to re-interview residents.
The Inspector General’s probe concluded that some alerts weren’t being properly resolved, some re-interviews weren’t properly conducted and that the work of some census takers whose work had been flagged for falsifying data had not been reworked to fix its accuracy. In fact, some census takers whose work was flagged for falsifications were given more cases, weren’t fired and were reassigned to other operations, the report said.
Of the 1,400 census takers who were designated “hard fails” because questions about the accuracy of their work, only 300 were fired for misconduct or unsatisfactory performance. Of the 1,400 “hard fail” census takers, 1,300 of them received bonuses ranging from $50 to $1,600 each, the report said.
The census is the largest nonmilitary mobilization in the U.S. Data gathered during the census determines how many congressional seats each state gets. The numbers also are used for redrawing political districts and distributing $1.5 trillion in federal spending each year. Because of that, undercounts can cost communities funding.
The 2020 census faced unprecedented challenges including the pandemic, natural disasters and political interference from the Trump administration.
In response to the Inspector General’s report, the Census Bureau said it appreciated the concerns that were raised but disagreed with the conclusions that data quality may have been damaged since the report cited only a small number of cases out of the overall workload.
“As a result, we asserted that the findings could not and should not be presented as a conclusive assessment of overall census quality,” Census Bureau Director Robert Santos said in the written response.
Under Census Bureau rules, college and university students should have been counted where they spent the most time, either at on-campus housing or off-campus apartments, even if they were sent home because of the pandemic. Most schools didn’t provide the Census Bureau with off-campus student data, and the bureau had to use a last-resort, less-accurate statistical tool to fill in the information gaps on more than 10% of the off-campus student population when they were given the information, the Inspector General’s report said.
Schools often didn’t provide the data because they didn’t have information on off-campus students or because of privacy concerns. The Inspector General recommends passage of legislation that would require schools to provide needed information in future head counts.
“Although difficult to quantify, the fiscal implication of specifically undercounting off-campus students at the correct location for states and localities is potentially far-reaching,” the report said.
The city of Boston, which is home to Northeastern University, Boston University and several other schools, said in a challenge to its census figures that the count missed 6,000 students.

The remains of a sailor from Massachusetts who died when the USS Oklahoma was struck by multiple torpedoes during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 are being buried at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.
The interment comes more than 80 years after the attack that drew the U.S. into World War II and nearly four years after the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced that Electrician’s Mate 3rd Class Roman W. Sadlowski, of Pittsfield, had been accounted for using advanced DNA and anthropological analysis, as well as circumstantial and material evidence.
About 15 family members from Massachusetts, Texas and Florida are scheduled to attend the ceremony that was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, said Joe Makarski Jr., who is Sadlowski’s nephew and who supplied a DNA sample about a decade ago that was used to help identify the remains.
“We’re quite excited,” Makarski, 81, said in a telephone interview. “It’s been a long time, and I am glad to be alive to finalize it.”
Makarski never met his mother’s brother, but he grew up hearing about him.
“I remember my Dad and Mom speaking about him, and they always spoke very highly of him,” he said. “I know he worked at General Electric and he did the books for my mother’s little beauty salon in Pittsfield. Growing up, I always saw his picture at my grandmother’s house.”
Sadlowski, 21, enlisted in the Navy on July 31, 1940, according to the Navy’s Office of Community Outreach.
As an electrician’s mate his duties included maintaining, operating and repairing the battleship’s electrical systems, motors, generators and alternators.
The USS Oklahoma was among the first vessels hit during the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941, struck by three aerial torpedoes just before 8 a.m. when many sailors were still asleep below deck, according to Navy accounts.
The port side was torn open and within 15 minutes of the first strike, it had rolled over completely, trapping hundreds of crew members. Two members of the crew earned the Medal of Honor for their efforts trying to save their fellow sailors, and a third was awarded the Navy Cross.
Sadlowski was among 429 USS Oklahoma sailors and marines who died.
Of those who died, 388 could not be identified and were buried at the Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu.
The process of disinterring the remains for DNA analysis began in 2015, and since then 355 have been identified, according to the Navy.
Sadlowski’s family debated where to have the remains buried, Makarski said. They considered veterans’ cemeteries in Massachusetts and Florida, and even considered his hometown of Pittsfield, although there are no known family members still living in the western Massachusetts city.
“We talked a lot about it, and decided on Arlington because of its prestige,” he said. | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ap-sailor-who-died-at-pearl-harbor-to-be-buried-at-arlington/ | 2022-09-19T16:23:06Z | wspa.com | control | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ap-sailor-who-died-at-pearl-harbor-to-be-buried-at-arlington/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will host the 2021 World Series champion Atlanta Braves at the White House.
Biden is getting in the Sept. 26 visit with just about a week before the 2022 regular season wraps up and playoffs begin. The Braves beat the Houston Astros in six games last year. The Braves are in second place in the National League East standings with 91 wins. Post-season begins Oct. 7.
The president, regardless of party, often honors major league and some college sports champions with a White House ceremony, typically nonpartisan affairs in which the commander in chief pays tribute to the champs’ prowess, poses for photos and comes away with a team jersey.
Those visits were highly charged in the previous administration. Many athletes took issue with President Donald Trump’s policies and rhetoric on policing, immigration and more. Trump, for his part, didn’t take kindly to the criticism from athletes or their on-field expressions of political opinion.
Under Biden, the tradition appears to be back. He’s hosted the NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks and Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the White House. | https://www.wspa.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-biden-to-host-2021-world-series-champion-atlanta-braves/ | 2022-09-19T16:23:28Z | wspa.com | control | https://www.wspa.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-biden-to-host-2021-world-series-champion-atlanta-braves/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
(The Hill) – President Biden in an interview that aired Sunday declared the coronavirus pandemic is “over,” pointing to the return of large events and the lack of masking and other public health measures in place nationwide.
“The pandemic is over,” Biden told “60 Minutes” from the Detroit auto show last Wednesday, the first one held since the onset of the pandemic in 2020. “We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lotta work on it. It’s– but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it.”
The United States is still recording an average of more than 400 deaths per day from COVID-19, according to New York Times data, and more than 1 million Americans have died from the virus since the pandemic began in early 2020.
Highly contagious variants have spread throughout the globe, making it nearly impossible to fully eradicate COVID-19.
As a result, the Biden administration has focused its messaging on the importance of getting vaccinated and receiving booster shots to increase immunity, as well as the wide availability of antiviral pills and other forms of treatment for those who contract the virus.
Biden himself contracted COVID-19 in July, but dealt with only mild symptoms, according to his doctor. Officials credited his mild case to being fully vaccinated and taking the antiviral drug Paxlovid.
The U.S. and much of the world has returned to hosting large events over the past year, like the auto show, and done away with requirements that attendees where mask or provide proof of vaccination. The U.S. does require foreign visitors to be fully vaccinated to come to the country by plane.
“I think you’d agree that the impact on the psyche of the American people as a consequence of the pandemic is profound,” Biden said in his interview with Scott Pelley. “Think of how that has changed everything. You know, people’s attitudes about themselves, their families, about the state of the nation, about the state of their communities. And so there’s a lot of uncertainty out there, a great deal of uncertainty. And we lost a million people. A million people to COVID.”
“When I got in office, when I got elected, only 2 million people had been vaccinated. I got 220 million– my point is it takes time,” he added. “We were left in a very difficult situation. It’s been a very difficult time. Very difficult.” | https://www.wspa.com/news/top-stories/president-biden-the-pandemic-is-over/ | 2022-09-19T16:23:35Z | wspa.com | control | https://www.wspa.com/news/top-stories/president-biden-the-pandemic-is-over/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
BEIJING (AP) — China’s government on Monday criticized President Joe Biden’s statement that American forces would defend Taiwan if Beijing tries to invade as a violation of U.S. commitments about the self-ruled island, but gave no indication of possible retaliation.
Biden said “yes” when asked during an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS News’s “60 Minutes” program whether “U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion.”
The comment added to displays of official American support for the island democracy in the face of growing shows of force by the mainland’s ruling Communist Party, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory.
Without citing Biden by name, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said the “U.S. remarks” violate Washington’s commitment not to support formal independence for Taiwan, a step Beijing has said would lead to war.
“China strongly deplores and rejects it and has made solemn complaints with the U.S. side,” said the spokeswoman, Mao Ning.
CBS News reported the White House said after the interview U.S. policy hasn’t changed. That policy says Washington wants to see Taiwan’s status resolved peacefully but doesn’t say whether U.S. forces might be sent in response to a Chinese attack.
Tension is rising following efforts by Chinese President Xi Jinping’s government to intimidate Taiwan by firing missiles into the nearby sea and flying fighter jets toward the island after visits to Taipei by political figures including U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Mao called on Washington to “handle Taiwan-related issues prudently” and “not to send any wrong signals” to supporters of Taiwan independence “to to avoid further damage to China-U.S. relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.”
Taiwan and China split in 1949 after a civil war that ended with the Communist Party in control of the mainland. The two governments say they are one country but dispute which is entitled to be the national leader.
“We will do our utmost to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity, while we will not tolerate any activities aimed at splitting China and reserve the option to take all necessary measures,” Mao said.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry expressed “sincere gratitude” to Biden for “affirming the U.S. government’s rock-solid promise of security to Taiwan.”
Taiwan will “resist authoritarian expansion and aggression” and “deepen the close security partnership” with Washington and other governments “with similar thinking” to protect regional stability, the statement said.
Washington is obligated by federal law to see that Taiwan has the means to defend itself but doesn’t say whether U.S. forces would be sent. The United States has no formal relations with the island but maintains informal diplomatic ties.
The Communist Party has persuaded most foreign governments to switch official recognition to Beijing, though many maintain informal ties have extensive trade and investment relations with Taiwan. The island’s official diplomatic partners are mostly small, poor nations in Africa and Latin America.
“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China,” Mao said. “The government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legal government representing the whole of China.”
Washington says it doesn’t support formal independence for Taiwan, a stance Biden repeated in the interview broadcast Sunday.
“Taiwan makes their own judgments about their independence,” the president said. “We’re not encouraging their being independent.”
In May, Biden said “yes” when asked at a news conference in Tokyo whether he was willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if China invaded.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right ankle Sunday.
Lance went down after running the ball on the second drive of a 27-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. A cart came out on the field and Lance’s leg was put into an air cast before he was taken off.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Lance would need to undergo season-ending surgery, raising immediate questions about using Lance as a runner between the tackles so often early this season.
“Any time a guy gets hurt, I wish I didn’t call that,” Shanahan said. “But no, that’s something we were going to do and something we would continue to do. It’s a football play we believe in and something that gives him a real chance to be successful.”
Lance’s teammates and several Seahawks players paid him respect before he left the field and was replaced by former starter Jimmy Garoppolo, who threw a touchdown pass on his first full drive and passed for 154 yards.
“It’s tough whenever you see a guy get hurt,” Garoppolo said. “I feel for him. Trey’s a tough dude. He’ll be all right.”
Lance took over the starting job this season from Garoppolo after being drafted third overall in 2021. San Francisco traded three first-round picks to move up nine spots to take Lance, making a major investment in him.
Lance spent his rookie season mostly on the bench watching Garoppolo as the Niners went all the way to the NFC title game before losing to the Rams.
But now he was supposed to get his chance as a starter for the first time since 2019 at North Dakota State. Lance only played one game in college the following season because of the pandemic.
“It’s the worst part of the game, obviously,” said defensive end Nick Bosa, who had a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2020 season. “It happens instantly and there’s no going back. Once it happens, obviously you feel like your life is over for a certain amount of time. … If he gets surgery, whenever that is, then that kind of starts your road back. It’s not going to be easy, but he will be back and he’ll be fine. Just really tough right now.”
San Francisco planned to trade Garoppolo this offseason, but was unable to after he underwent shoulder surgery in March.
Garoppolo remained on the roster but didn’t practice with the team at all during training camp, throwing on his own on a side field, before agreeing to return as a backup on a reduced contract.
Instead of the nonguaranteed $24.2 million base salary Garoppolo was owed this season, he will get a $6.5 million fully guaranteed base salary, $500,000 in roster bonuses and the chance to make nearly $9 million more in playing time bonuses.
Garoppolo made $350,000 in bonuses Sunday for playing at least 25% of the snaps and the Niners winning the game.
Now he could have a chance at a more substantial role depending on how long Lance is injured. Garoppolo didn’t take long to get into form, throwing a 38-yard TD pass to Ross Dwelley on his first full possession.
Lance was 2 for 3 for 30 yards passing and had three carries for 13 yards before leaving the game. This is the second time Lance has gotten hurt in his brief time in the NFL. He injured his knee after his first start last season against Arizona when Garoppolo was hurt.
Lance carried the ball 47 times in less than 15 quarters as the main quarterback the past two seasons.
“Do you guys watch other teams in this league? Buffalo does it all the time with their quarterback,” Shanahan said about Josh Allen. “It’s a pretty normal play. It’s part of football and it’s unfortunate that he hurt his ankle on it. It’s a very normal play.”

New York City is considering legal action against Texas and other states led by Republican governors along the southern border over their decision to bus migrants to the five boroughs, Mayor Eric Adams said in an interview that aired Sunday.
Adams’ declaration came less than a week after the Democratic mayor of El Paso revealed at a public meeting that New York’s mayor had agreed to coordinate the arrivals of migrants sent by his city — and as Hizzoner renewed his longstanding complaints that state officials in Texas have refused to make similar arrangements.
“We have this heavy influx, and that’s why our legal team is looking at what legal challenges we could do with Texas, as well as how do we properly ensure everyone receives the necessary services they deserve,” the mayor told WCBS-TV/Ch. 2.
He reiterated the threat when the moderator, Marcia Kramer, asked him to clarify if there was a way to “stop this.”
“We’re looking at that,” Adams responded. “We believe there’s some options we have, because when you involuntarily place someone on a bus, we believe that actually skates the law. And so our legal team is looking at this.”
City Hall says that at least 11,000 recent arrivals at the southern border — many of whom are from Venezuela and are seeking asylum from that country’s brutal dictatorship — have been bused to the five boroughs since the start of the summer.
More than 8,000, officials add, are living in the city shelters, an influx that has pushed the scandal-scarred system to the brink.
Adams again attacked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for refusing to even coordinate the buses with City Hall, a decision that means local agencies have little or no warning and must constantly scramble when hundreds of migrants arrive at the Port Authority.
Migrant crisis moves North: Here’s what’s happening around the country as border states bus migrants around the US
- National Guard called into Martha’s Vineyard for 50 migrants
- Migrants dropped off on Kamala Harris’ DC doorstep dispute her ‘secure’ border claim: ‘We come in free, no problem’
- Flood of migrants helps lead to worst NYC shelter failure in more than decade
- DC now a ‘border town’ as mayor declares public emergency over bussed migrants
- Huge rise in border deaths from drowning, dehydration overwhelm Texas border town’s morgues
“I think it’s really inhumane what we’re seeing, using people during a difficult time as a political ploy and not coordinating with cities,” the mayor told Kramer. “Every city that the migrants are passing, the governor of Texas should have communicated with, and he should have communicated with New York.”
But he made no mention of how Biden administration policies have fueled the surge of asylum seekers to the border.
The Post revealed Friday that the Adams administration had struck an agreement with officials in El Paso — a major Texas city along the border — to coordinate and accept as many as 200 arrivals a day. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/eric-adams-mulls-suit-vs-texas-gov-abbott-over-migrant-bus-arrivals/ | 2022-09-19T16:24:43Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/eric-adams-mulls-suit-vs-texas-gov-abbott-over-migrant-bus-arrivals/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
LONDON (AP) — Walking off the field at Brentford’s small stadium in west London had a very different feel for Arsenal this time around.
A straight-forward 3-0 win at the 17,000-seat Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday retained Arsenal’s spot atop the Premier League table and made it six victories in seven games for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Quite a contrast from a year ago, when Arsenal opened the season with a humbling 2-0 defeat at Brentford — which was playing its first topflight game in 74 years — and went on to lose the next two games as well for its worst start to a campaign in 67 years.
“A lot of people described that day as embarrassing but I looked at it as a character-building day,” Arteta said. “You have to learn from those moments and then days like today happen. We are enjoying our football.”
And there’s plenty to enjoy, especially from the team’s newcomers.
Defender William Saliba — who spent the last three seasons out on loan — underlined his status as the team’s new fan favorite with his second goal of the season, while summer signings Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira also scored.
Everton finally has something to enjoy as well: a first win of the campaign.
Frank Lampard’s team beat fellow struggler West Ham 1-0 at home in a game with few clear-cut chances for either team. Only two games were played Sunday as Chelsea-Liverpool and Manchester United-Leeds were both postponed due to limited police resources ahead of the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.
All Premier League games this weekend paid tribute to the queen with a minute’s silence before kickoff followed by a rendition of the national anthem. There was also a minute’s applause after 70 minutes at each game in celebration of the queen’s 70-year reign.
At Brentford, Saliba headed in a corner in the 17th minute before Jesus scored his fourth goal of the campaign with another header around halfway through the first half. Vieira then marked his first league start by scoring with a long-range effort early in the second.
Vieira started in place of injured playmaker Martin Odegaard and made a strong claim for getting more playing time after spending much of the season on the bench so far.
“We know his talent and why we signed him and what he can bring to the team,” Arteta said. “He is a creative player, he needs to play with his instinct and we need to create as many scenarios as possible for him. The goal here and the way he went about the ugly part of the game, I was really impressed with.”
Arteta even had the luxury of sending on 15-year-old Ethan Nwaneri for the last few minutes, making him the youngest player ever to appear in a Premier League game.
Arsenal now heads into the international break one point ahead of defending champion Manchester City and Tottenham. Its next game will be a better gauge of the team’s title credentials, as Arsenal hosts Tottenham in the north London derby on Oct. 1.
MAUPAY DELIVERS
Everton’s early-season struggles have been largely due to a lack of attacking threat in the absence of injured striker Dominic Calwert-Lewin, with the team scoring just four goals in its opening six games.
Summer signing Neal Maupay finally scored his first goal for Everton against West Ham, and that was enough for a much-needed victory for Lampard’s team.
It was a well-taken goal, too, as the Frenchman collected a pass from Alex Iwobi on the edge of the area and used his first touch to set himself up for a volley that snuck inside the near post in the 53rd minute.
“It’s a win that has been a little while coming,” Lampard said. “We have been hard to beat recently but we haven’t had that clinical edge in front of goal but today we had that.”
The win lifts Everton to 13th place with seven points, while West Ham — which has only scored three league goals this season — is in 18th on four points.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It certainly looked like the Saints were in Tom Brady’s head when the Buccaneers quarterback threw a tablet in the bench area and later jawed with New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore after a drive-stalling incomplete pass.
How quickly a game can change when emotions spill over.
Brady helped incite a skirmish that led to the ejections of Lattimore and Bucs receiver Mike Evans, then threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman that lifted Tampa Bay to a 20-10 victory over New Orleans on Sunday.
“It’s an emotional game,” Brady said flatly. “A little bit of execution helps all the way around. I thought the defense played well again and the offensive line fought hard.
“Tough game all around,” Brady added. “That is a really good team, really well coached — a team we really struggle with. So, it feels good to win.”
Brady, who’d lost four straight regular-season meetings with the Saints, again struggled for the first three quarters of this latest, testy encounter between NFC South rivals.
Brady’s frustration was clear when he was caught on camera forcefully throwing a tablet to the turf with a healthy turn of his torso and full follow-through of his prolific right arm.
And after his third-down incomplete pass early in the fourth quarter, Brady was shouting at Lattimore when running back Leonard Fournette entered the fray and shoved the Saints’ star cornerback. Lattimore responded by shoving Fournette, and Evans rushed in and flattened Lattimore — much like he did in a 2017 game between these teams.
“I was just trying to have my teammate’s back,” Evans said. “I seen (Lattimore) punch someone. I wasn’t going to let that happen. … We know when you come to New Orleans, it gets spicy.”
Evans was ejected, as he was five seasons ago. But this time, so was Lattimore, who did not speak with media after the game.
“It hurts to lose your best corner,” defensive end Cameron Jordan said. “Guys gun at him because they know he is one of the best corners in the league.
“When I saw the replay, (Lattimore) didn’t go after anybody. Somebody came after him,” Jordan said. “What do you want him to do in that situation?”
With Paulson Adebo sitting out with an ankle injury, Lattimore’s ejection left the Saints without their top two cornerbacks — and Brady took advantage.
On Tampa Bay’s next series, Brady marched the Bucs (2-0) to the New Orleans 28 and then hit Perriman in the back right corner of the end zone to make it 10-3.
“We lost a good player and they lost a good player. It was a physical ballgame,” Bucs coach Todd Bowles said. “I don’t know if it was a turning point. … It could have gone either way. We knew we had to make some plays.”
The Bucs’ defense squelched the Saints’ comeback bid by intercepting Jameis Winston three times in the final 12 minutes. Jamel Dean made the first two picks — one on a deep pass intended for rookie Chris Olave at the goal line. Later, safety Mike Edwards returned an interception near the right sideline 68 yards for a touchdown to make it 20-3.
Brady finished 18 of 34 for 190 yards and the lone TD.
Winston, who had been limited in practice by a back injury, completed 25 of 40 passes for 236 yards and one late TD toss to Michael Thomas.
“Everyone in that locker room is playing with a banged-up something,” Winston said. “What is most important is offensively I have to do a better job of executing on third downs and I can’t give them the football.”
Tampa Bay didn’t score until Ryan Succop hit a 47-yard field goal with 3:09 left in the third quarter to tie it at 3.
The Saints (1-1) were threatening to retake the lead when safety Logan Ryan punched the ball free of running back Mark Ingram’s grasp at the Buccaneers 10, and linebacker Carl Nassib recovered.
“We were moving the ball well, going in to take control of the game. That just can’t happen,” Ingram said. “Whether it was a good punch, whether it was a rip, whatever it is, it doesn’t really matter.”
Wil Lutz’s 31-yard field goal on the game’s opening drive gave the Saints a lead that stood up throughout a first half in which Tampa Bay squandered two scoring chances.
Brady’s fumbled snap on third and short from the New Orleans 34 ended one drive. The Bucs also failed on a fourth-and-1 from the New Orleans 8 when Carl Granderson stuffed Fournette’s run.
INJURIES
Buccaneers: Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks left the game with a foot injury and reserve left tackle Josh Wells, who was starting for the inactive Donovan Smith (elbow), left with a calf injury. Receiver Julio Jones was scratched pregame with a knee injury.
Saints: Top running back Alvin Kamara was inactive because of his rib injury.

Buccaneers: Host Green Bay on Sept. 25.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Rayshawn Jenkins first sensed Jacksonville’s defense would be different — dramatically improved, really — in May.
He saw the talent. He felt the commitment. He even allowed himself to believe the unit could be special.
Now, four months later, Jenkins is more convinced than ever. And he’s hardly alone after the Jaguars dominated Indianapolis for their eighth shutout in franchise history.
Trevor Lawrence threw two touchdown passes to Christian Kirk, and Jacksonville harassed Matt Ryan early and often while handling short-handed Indianapolis 24-0 on Sunday for its eighth consecutive home victory in the series.
“I’m proud,” Jenkins said. “I think we can keep it going. I feel it. This is a whole new team. I can’t even … it’s just completely different. We got the guys in here to do it week in and week out. We got some dogs in here.”
The Jaguars (1-1) sacked Ryan five times, intercepted three of his passes and held reigning NFL rushing champion Jonathan Taylor to 54 yards. Each of Jacksonville’s past three shutouts have come against Indianapolis (0-1-1), which hasn’t won here since 2014.
“I don’t feel it’s a lack of motivation,” Colts coach Frank Reich said. “I just feel it’s a lack of we got outcoached and we got outplayed.”
Indy also failed to score against Jacksonville in 2017 and 2018. It’s the only times the Colts have been shut out in the past six seasons. Equally telling about this series: Jacksonville is 6-30 in its past 36 games, and four of those victories came against the Colts.
The latest one was never in doubt and gave coach Doug Pederson his first win with his new team. Veteran receiver Marvin Jones presented Pederson a game ball in the locker room.
“It’s special,” Pederson said. “It’s my first win, obviously, as the head coach here. But it’s a team win. We celebrate as a team. I appreciate that. It will definitely go on the mantle at the house. But my hat’s off to the guys in the locker room. They’re the ones that did it. I didn’t get hit. I didn’t have to throw any passes or run the ball.”
Lawrence completed 25 of 30 passes for 235 yards, with TD passes of 5 and 10 yards to Kirk. Kirk finished with six catches for 78 yards.
James Robinson ran 23 times for 64 yards, including a 37-yard TD scamper in the first half that showed he’s fully back from a torn Achilles tendon sustained last December.
Jacksonville’s defense was more impressive. Jenkins, a safety, rookie linebacker Devin Lloyd and Andre Cisco picked off Ryan. Josh Allen had two of the unit’s five sacks and also forced a fumble.
“All we want is respect, and that’s that,” Jenkins said.
They should have it now, even though the Colts played without three key starters: All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard and receivers Michael Pittman and rookie Alec Pierce.
Ryan had been 4-0 against the Jags. But he will surely feel the effects of his first loss against them. His jersey was covered in dirt and grass stains, and he was slow to get up after several hits late in the game.
“You never at the beginning of the year think you’re going to be 0-1-1 after two weeks,” Ryan said. “We are where we are. I think being realistic about where we’re at and what we need to do to improve is important. It has to be brutal honesty and we’ve got to find ways to play the way that we’re capable of, and it starts with me.”
SCORING CHANCES
The Colts had two fourth-quarter drives in the red zone. They had first-and-goal at the 4 and first-and-10 at the 11. A penalty, a sack, five incompletions and countless pressures kept them out of the end zone.
REICH’S NEMESIS
Reich fell to 0-5 in Jacksonville, a dubious skid that surely won’t sit well with team owner Jim Irsay. Indy blew a chance to make the playoffs last season by losing the finale in Jacksonville.
Players and coaches spent the past eight months waiting for this rematch — and then were essentially no-shows.
KEY INJURIES
Colts FS Julian Blackmon left the game in the first half with a shoulder injury but later returned. … Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell missed a play in the fourth quarter.
UP NEXT
Colts: Host Kansas City in their home opener next Sunday, beginning a daunting, three-game stretch that also includes Tennessee and Denver.
Jaguars: Travel cross-country to face the Los Angeles Chargers next Sunday. Jacksonville has lost 15 of 18 games in the Pacific time zone.

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Bob MacIntyre might have just played his way onto Europe’s Ryder Cup team.
The Scottish lefty beat U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick on the first hole of a playoff to win the Italian Open on the Marco Simone course outside Rome that will host next year’s event against the United States.
“This is what I want. This is my only goal for the season — to make that Ryder Cup team,” MacIntyre said. “I think I’ve made a good start.”
Ryder Cup qualification points for Europe’s team started being awarded last week at Wentworth.
It was only the second victory of the 26-year-old MacIntyre’s career but it came against a quality field that included European tour leader Rory McIlroy, who finished fourth after hitting his tee shot on the drivable 16th into the water.
MacIntyre posted a 7-under 64 for the best finishing round Sunday and finished regulation tied at 14 under (270) with Fitzpatrick, who won his first major title at Brookline, Mass., in June.
In the playoff on the 18th hole, MacIntyre sunk a birdie putt from a few feet to clinch it after Fitzpatrick had gotten into trouble by driving into the rough.
“This means everything,” MacIntyre said. “I was down and out two or three months ago. I didn’t know what I was doing. Didn’t know where to go. But I spoke to the right people and there’s so much hard work gone into this.”
MacIntyre’s only previous win came nearly two years ago in Cyprus. He tied for fourth at the 2019 Italian Open at nearby Olgiata.
Victor Perez of France finished third, one stroke behind, after missing a birdie putt on 18; and McIlroy ended up two strokes back.
Europe captain Luke Donald, who finished tied for 34th, was quick to praise MacIntyre.
“Massive congratulations,” Donald tweeted. “Showed a lot of guts and resolve in the playoff to get it done.”
“I played with Bob last week in Wentworth,” Donald told The Associated Press. “Looks like a strong player, but a strong mind — he looks very fearless on the golf course, which you’ll need in a Ryder Cup. It’s a pressure-packed situation.”
The U.S. romped to a record rout over Europe in Whistling Straits, Wisconsin, last year, and Donald appears interested in adding some new players to his team.
“There’s a lot of young talent out there,” Donald said. “It’s a great opportunity for them to show me what they have and to be a part of that team come 12 months.”
From Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, 2023, Marco Simone will become the third venue in continental Europe to host the Ryder Cup after Valderrama in Spain (1997) and Le Golf National in France (2018).
The hilly Marco Simone course was completely redesigned a few years ago with the Ryder Cup in mind and proved to be a serious test this week across all sorts of weather — including heat, rain, wind before Sunday’s perfect conditions.
“It’s been a really good test,” Donald said. “Obviously a very strong field and scoring has been not easy.
“Some of these guys who are likely to be in the Ryder Cup team next year would have seen everything this week. So I think that’s good that they’ll be very prepared.”
Thick rough and tall grass lining the narrow fairways were designed to favor Europe’s team.
“Start of this week, I didn’t think this was going to be (my) style of golf course,” MacIntyre said. “(But) I was able to control my golf ball with wedges and irons and even the hybrid that went into the bag last week.”
Coming from the whisky town of Oban on Scotland’s coast, MacIntyre also plays a local game called shinty that is similar to field hockey.
“It’s a sport that’s close to my heart. My family have all played it (for generations),” he said, adding that he feels “lucky” to have chosen golf as his primary sport.
Fitzpatrick nearly produced an albatross when his second shot on the par-5 12th from 212 yards hit the pin. While Fitzpatrick finished off his eagle from four feet, MacIntyre was starting to struggle a couple of holes ahead on 14 when he found the rough and bogeyed.
But MacIntyre pulled it back together and birdied on 18 to put the pressure on Fitzpatrick in regulation.
“I hit a terrible shot and was back against the wall, and again, just got a dogged attitude, never give up, if I get punched, I punch back,” MacIntyre said. “The birdies coming in were massive and thankfully I got in the playoff.”

The tip of a lifetime was actually the “tip” of the iceberg.
A Pennsylvania pizza restaurant, famous for being mentioned on the acclaimed comedy series “The Office,” is suing a customer for $3,000 after the patron left that amount in a tip but then asked for it back.
“It’s just a little aggravating right now. It’s been causing a lot of nonsense and drama,” Zachary Jacobson, manager of Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe in Scranton, told local news station WNEP of the act of kindness gone awry.
Jacobson said the restaurant is now suing the customer and noted they all “thought somebody was actually trying to do a good thing.”
The gratuity fiasco began back in June after one of the pie purveyor’s patrons, named Eric Smith, left waitress Mariana Lambert an eye-popping $3,000 on a $13 bill. The customer, who had ordered only a plate of stromboli, had reportedly left the potentially life-changing gratuity as part of a social media trend called “Tips For Jesus.”
The story went viral with countless people on social media commenting on the so-called act of kindness.
While initially skeptical given the generous sum of money, staffers were ecstatic after the credit card payment went through on their machine.
Needless to say, Lambert was initially floored by the seemingly magnanimous gesture, especially given how restaurants were still reeling from COVID-19 closures. “It really meant a lot to me because everyone’s going through stuff,” she gushed. “It really touched my heart. I still can’t believe it. I’m still in shock.”
However, the staffer’s gratitude quickly soured after the restaurant received “something in the mail that Eric was disputing the charge for the tip that he left,” said Jacobson. This was despite the fact that the restaurant had already paid Lambert the gratuity, leaving them approximately $3,000 out of pocket, WNEP reported.
Alarmed, Alfredo’s reached out to Smith on Facebook in the hopes that the whole thing was a misunderstanding, but the restaurant reneger has stopped replying to their messages.
“We thought somebody was actually trying to do a good thing,” lamented Jacobson. “And then now we are, what, three months later? Not even, and there’s nothing.”
Left with no other recourse, Alfredo’s decided to take Smith to court with the goal of recuperating the $3,000.
“Unfortunately, we had to file charges through the magistrate’s office because now we’re just out of this money at this point,” said Jacobson. “And he told us to sue him, so that’s what we’re going to end up doing, I guess.”
He added, “I hope that he owns up to his actions and comes forth and does pay this, because you shouldn’t have done this if this was the end result.”
Alfredo’s is perhaps most famous for being mentioned in Season 4, Episode 3 of the iconic NBC comedy series “The Office.”
During that episode, entitled “Launch Party,” Dunder Mifflin office manager Michael Scott announces that he bought Alfredo’s pizza for all the employees.
However, they become dismayed after it’s revealed that their manager didn’t order from Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe — their preferred choice — and instead opted for the allegedly inferior Pizza by Alfredo, which Kevin analogizes as a “hot circle of garbage.” | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/restaurant-sues-customer-for-taking-back-3000-tip/ | 2022-09-19T16:26:32Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/restaurant-sues-customer-for-taking-back-3000-tip/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
BALTIMORE (AP) — Down by three touchdowns, Tua Tagovailoa and his speedy Miami receivers raced past the Baltimore Ravens in a stirring fourth-quarter comeback.
Even Lamar Jackson couldn’t keep up.
Tagovailoa threw for 469 yards and six touchdowns, four of which came during the final period, and the Dolphins rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat Jackson and the Ravens 42-38 on Sunday.
Tagovailoa’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle with 14 seconds left completed the incredible comeback after Miami trailed 35-14 with under 13 minutes remaining.
“This just shows the resiliency of our team,” Tagovailoa said. “You look at the big picture of it, the confidence goes up.”
Through his first two seasons with Miami, Tagovailoa was adequate but not exactly a star. So this performance was huge for the Dolphins, who improved to 2-0 under new coach Mike McDaniel. This was Tagovailoa’s first 400-yard passing game, and his six TDs tied a team record held by Bob Griese and Dan Marino.
“I think it was a moment he’ll never forget and can use it moving forward,” McDaniel said. “I couldn’t be happier for him. His teammates learned a lot about him, and I think he learned something about himself.”
Tyreek Hill had touchdown catches of 48 and 60 yards during that rally, the latter of which tied the game with 5:19 to play.
Justin Tucker kicked a 51-yard field goal with 2:18 remaining to put Baltimore ahead, but that was far too much time for Miami’s offense, which the Ravens (1-1) didn’t come close to stopping in the final quarter.
The Dolphins overcame a spectacular performance by Jackson, who threw three first-half touchdown passes and then gave Baltimore its 21-point lead with a 79-yard TD run in the third. Jackson threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns.
The Ravens got into position for Jackson to throw a desperation pass on the final play of the game, but that fell incomplete.
Tagovailoa was intercepted twice in the first half, but he more than made up for that. Waddle had 11 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns, and Hill had 11 for 190 yards and his two TDs.
“He was making some throws, and those guys were doing their thing,” Jackson said. “Waddle, Tyreek — heck of a player. Shout out to Tua because he did his thing.”
Miami had 233 yards in the fourth quarter.
Devin Duvernay returned the opening kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown, and the Ravens never trailed until the final seconds. They might have scored a TD on all four of their offensive possessions in the first half if not for a fumble near the Miami goal line.
The Dolphins couldn’t recreate their exceptional defensive effort of a season ago, when their blitz wreaked havoc on the Baltimore offense. The Ravens lost that game 22-10 on their lowest-scoring night of the season.
Jackson put the Ravens up 14-7 with a short pass over the middle that Rashod Bateman turned into a 75-yard touchdown. Later in the second quarter, he threw for TDs of 1 yard to Mark Andrews and 12 yards to Demarcus Robinson.
Then Jackson’s most spectacular play came near the end of the third, when he faked a handoff and breezed through a big hole up the middle and past the Miami secondary. The touchdown was the longest run of Jackson’s career, and it also put him over 100 yards rushing, a record 11th time he’s done that. He previously shared the mark for quarterbacks with Michael Vick, who had 10 100-yard games on the ground.
Jackson became the first quarterback in NFL history with both a touchdown pass and a touchdown run of at least 75 yards in the same game. He finished with 119 yards on nine carries.
After Duvernay’s touchdown to start the game, Tagovailoa drove the Dolphins into Baltimore territory, but Marcus Williams created a turnover with a remarkable display of concentration. He jumped in front of Hill to break up a pass, and while lying on the grass, he reached out to catch the falling ball before it hit the ground.
The Ravens drove to the 1-yard line, but after a third-down touchdown run by Jackson was overturned on replay, the Baltimore quarterback lost control of the snap on what looked like a quarterback sneak attempt on fourth down.
Miami drove 94 yards and tied it at 7 on Tagovailoa’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Waddle.
With the Ravens up 21-7, Tagovailoa’s deep pass was picked off — again by Williams — and that gave Baltimore a chance to score once more before halftime.
Tagovailoa threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki to make it 28-14 in the third, and his 2-yarder to River Cracraft in the fourth made it 35-21.
SECONDARY PROBLEMS
The Ravens obviously aren’t where they want to be in the defensive backfield despite adding Williams and first-round draft pick Kyle Hamilton in the offseason. It’s hard enough to stop Waddle and Hill when they’re taking short throws and running after the catch — but the game turned when Baltimore let Hill get behind the defense deep a couple of times.
“Never did you think we were going to have that many balls thrown over our head,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “That just can’t happen. That’s not OK. I don’t care who’s back there.”
Cornerback Marcus Peters was in his first game back after missing all of last season with a knee injury, and cornerback Marlon Humphrey played after dealing with a groin injury during the week.
INJURIES
Miami WR Cedrick Wilson left with rib issues. … Baltimore LB Steven Means was carted off in the second quarter with an ankle injury, and Duvernay entered concussion protocol late in the game.
UP NEXT
Dolphins: Host the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.
Ravens: At the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett had a brutal debut on “Monday Night Football” against the Seahawks in Week 1.
In Week 2, despite the fact that Denver pulled out the win, things got even worse.
The Broncos flailed through their 16-9 victory over the Texans, facing raucous boos from the home crowd as they continually struggled with the game clock and failed to score in the red zone. Fans were so annoyed with Hackett that they began sarcastically counting down the game clock as Denver lined up on offense.
The red zone struggles from Week 1 also continued in a big way. The Broncos had to settle for two field goals after getting inside Houston’s 2-yard line. On the season, the Broncos have had three opportunities inside the opponent’s 5-yard line, and have failed to score touchdown on all three occasions.
Broncos fans are clearly not enthused with Hackett’s performance so far, booing the team relentlessly throughout the game.
“I don’t blame them,” Hackett said of the boos. “I mean, heck, I’d be booing myself. I was very frustrated. Get down to the red zone two times and don’t get a touchdown, which is unbelievably frustrating – I don’t think we’ve scored in there yet – that’s something that, all of our guys have to step up whether we run the ball more or whatever we’re doing, we’ve just got to execute at a higher level.”
In his debut as Broncos coach last week, Hackett opted to attempt a 64-yard field goal instead of allowing Russell Wilson and the offense to go for it on fourth-and-5. Brandon McManus missed the kick in the 17-16 defeat. Hackett, who spent three years as the Packers offensive coordinator before being hired by the Broncos this offseason, admitted the next day the Broncos “definitely” should have gone for it.
Penalties were also a huge problem for the Broncos, with false starts and delay of games coming at often inopportune times. Denver had 13 penalties in the game for 100 yards.
Wilson, signed to a $245 million extension before playing in a game for Denver, struggled along with the whole offense on Sunday, completing less than 50 percent of his passes. His fourth-quarter, 22-yard touchdown pass to Eric Saubert, however, did prove to be the difference in the game.
The Broncos take on the 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 3. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/things-keep-getting-worse-for-broncos-coach-nathaniel-hackett/ | 2022-09-19T16:27:21Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/things-keep-getting-worse-for-broncos-coach-nathaniel-hackett/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The Princess of Wales wore the late monarch’s famous three-strand pearl necklace to a Buckingham Palace lunch reception.
Queen Elizabeth II was rarely spotted without her signature triple-strand pearl necklace, the queen wore the necklace almost daily.
She also sported Her Majesty’s Silver Jubilee diamond-and-pearl earrings — the same pair she’s been wearing for the past week — as well as a triple-strand pearl bracelet that previously belonged to Princess Diana.
Her choice of pearls makes sense for the occasion, as the gems are traditionally worn during times of mourning.
Maxwell StoneUK jeweler of Steven Stone
“The royal tradition of wearing pearls for mourning dates back to Queen Victoria, who was so overwhelmed with grief when Prince Albert died that she wore nothing but black for the rest of her life.”

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton did not walk in Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral procession.
King Charles III walked alongside his siblings, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward during the procession with the late Queen’s grandsons Prince William, Prince Harry and Peter Phillips behind them, as they made their way from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey.
Traditionally, a royal funeral procession is made up of the men of the royal family, but Elizabeth’s daughter Anne walked in hers as well as father Prince Philip’s funeral in 2021 and her grandmother’s funeral, the Queen Mother, in 2002.
Meanwhile, Queen Consort Camilla, 75, The Duchess of Sussex, 41, and the Princess of Wales, 40, arrived in their own cars. | https://nypost.com/web-stories/why-meghan-markle-didnt-walk-in-queens-funeral-procession/ | 2022-09-19T16:28:40Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/web-stories/why-meghan-markle-didnt-walk-in-queens-funeral-procession/ | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
“David shoots a rocket up your arse, creatively,” Andrea Riseborough said at a star-studded post-screening Q&A after the world premiere of Amsterdam in New York City Sunday night. The David in question is writer-director David O. Russell, the five-time Oscar-nominee of The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, and American Hustle. This is his first film—or, as the writer-director said on six different occasions, “picture”—since the release of Joy in 2015.
Though the New York Film Festival doesn’t start for another two weeks, it certainly felt like a classic NYFF premiere at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. Invited swells were dressed to the nines (and lined around West 66th Street), and wearing masks as instructed while also offered a cornucopia of snacks. Presenting the film were its main stars, Christian Bale (making this the third Bale-Russell collaboration), Margot Robbie, and John David Washington. The play three best friends who get caught up in a madcap mystery in 1930s New York that mixes the vibe of Joel and Ethan Coen’s Miller’s Crossing with a knotty The Big Sleep-style yarn, and adds elements of the 1942 film All Through The Night. The picture also flashes back to the titular Dutch capital immediately following World War I, symbolizing a kind of romantic paradise. Alas, other than one establishing shot, everything set there is an interior. No footage of Margot Robbie strolling along canals!
Also present were co-stars Robert De Niro, Rami Malek, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Timothy Olyphant, and Riseborough, though the rest of the starry cast—including Taylor Swift, Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Zoe Saldaña, and Matthias Schoenaerts—were absent. Drake, an executive producer on the project, was first on stage to introduce the cast and crew, to some murmurs in the packed house wondering if, indeed, that was Drake. “It’s weird to remind people I’m not just a rapper,” the four-time Grammy-winner and the RIAA’s certified-highest digital singles artist ever said. He also shouted-out his co-producer, Future, credited in the movie as Adel “Future” Nur.
The audience, which included Steve Buscemi (this reporter ran into him in the gents), responded enthusiastically to the movie, laughing at all the right parts. (Riseborough in particular kills it in her supporting role as Bale’s unloving wife. Malek is also sensational as Robbie’s weirdo bird-loving brother.)
After the credits rolled, most of the stars were back, except for De Niro, Bale, and Washington. “They all have to work,” Russell explained, saying De Niro had a 5 a.m. call time and Washington is currently in the middle of August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson on Broadway. Ben Stiller, the star of Russell’s early comedy Flirting With Disaster, moderated the chat.
Stiller gushed about how Russell opens himself up and “is very vulnerable” as a director on set, and clearly loved the movie. Indeed, he talked with so much enthusiasm about his interpretation of various scenes that he barely let some of the other actors speak. Malek even mugged to the audience at one point when Stiller cut him off mid-response, but I got the impression no one was too upset. (The pair also goofed about their earlier joint effort, Night at the Museum.)
Robbie said that working with David O. Russell meant that a typical phone call was either “five minutes or six hours,” but she treasured their conversations about the nature of friendship and art, the two things that most drive her character. She added that coming to Russell’s set means not knowing what you are going to shoot each day. “It’s terrifying, but also exhilarating, and puts you in a place where you can find a part of yourself as an artist you haven’t tapped into before.”
The story has elements of actual history to it (to get into more specifics would give plot points away) and Russell said the movie was 50 to 60 percent true. The script, however, emerged from Russell and Christian Bale wanting to create an original set of characters and “backing into history.” They looked at old photographs, “pictures from Roseland Ballroom in New York, with everyone dancing,” scanning faces of lovers and friends and wondering “what’s their story?” | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/margot-robbie-amsterdam-premiere | 2022-09-19T16:30:05Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/margot-robbie-amsterdam-premiere | 1 | 0 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Blake Lively revealed that she’s pregnant with her and husband Ryan Reynolds’s fourth child at a recent event in New York. This had the unfortunate, though predictable effect of alerting the paparazzi to the pregnancy, and they made their way en masse to the Lively-Reynolds home.
To preempt the photographers’ unsolicited photos, and potentially drive down the price they would ultimately fetch, Lively posted a series of her own on Instagram. In several pictures, she’s wearing a bathing suit (best for accentuating the baby bump). In one, she’s with her friend Taylor Swift (best for accentuating the woman who puts Lively’s kids’ names in her songs). There’s even a photo of her pregnant belly from its bottom. All angles are accounted for.
Lively captioned it, “Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a 🦄 sighting will leave me alone. You freak me and my kids out.”

Lively successfully managed to reveal this pregnancy on her own terms, which can be difficult for famous families. The Lively-Reynolds household, however, seems to be good at that—they’re now three for four on the “it was a choice to reveal the bump” front. Lively announced her first pregnancy, with James, in 2014 on her now defunct website, Preserve. She discussed her second, Inez, on Late Night With Seth Meyers and on Today, though Us Weekly broke the news that time. And for her third, Betty, she appeared on the red carpet of the New York premiere of Ryan Reynolds’s Pokémon Detective Pikachu wearing a form-fitting Pikachu-yellow dress.
The extra confirmation of her current pregnancy on Instagram doubled as a P.S.A. Lively added in her caption, “Thanks to everyone else for all the love and respect and for continuing to unfollow accounts and publications who share photos of children. You have all the power against them. And thank you to the media who have a ‘No Kids Policy.’ You all make all the difference 🙏♥️. Much love! Xxb.”

Grimes surprised her fans after undergoing some sort of medical procedure.
The pop star, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, shared a photo on her Twitter account on Saturday showing her swollen face all bandaged up with some light bruising around her eyes while lying in a bed wearing a hospital gown. Although she didn't reveal exactly what she'd gotten done, Grimes wrote alongside the shot, “I did smthn crazy!” Her fans were quick to speculate that the singer had undergone elf ear surgery after tweeting a couple times over the summer about her interest in the procedure. That operation entails sculpting the cartilage in the patient's upper ears to be a more pointed shape reminiscent of those mythological creatures.
It seems Grimes first got serious about the idea to alter her ears' helixes in mid-August, tweeting, “Also, has anyone done elf ear mods with a good outcome? Im scared about ear cartilage having a hard time healing. Especially as a musician this surgery seems risky but I’ve wanted it my whole life. Curious about peoples experiences!” However, her boyfriend at the time and the father of her two children, Elon Musk, seemed pretty opposed to the entire concept, replying, “The downside of elf ear surgery probably outweighs the upside.” But the pop star replied, “Tbh this sounds like a job for crispr. Sad to be born just a few generations too early,” referring to the gene-editing biotechnology that allows scientists to easily alter human DNA sequences and modify gene function. A couple days later, she also responded to some digital fan art portraying her with the elf ears of her dreams, writing, “Wow i love these damn.”
This latest fantastical update to her appearance should come as no surprise given that Grimes has always had some unconventional approaches to the world of beauty and body modification. In April of last year, the singer debuted an intricate new full-back tattoo done in white ink composed of swirling, interlocked lines. Sharing a photo of the body art right after it was done, she wrote, “Don’t have a good pic cuz it hurts too much and I need to sleep haha, and it’ll be red for a few wks, but gna be beautiful alien scars.”
This interest in crafting an otherworldly appearance might also have something to do with Grimes desires to move to Mars after she turns 50. In January 2021, during a YouTube Live Chat, the pop star was asked by a fan what she would do once she finally made it to the red planet, to which she replied, “MANUAL LABOUR UNTIL DEATH MOST LIKELY BUT HOPEFULLY THAT CAN CHANGE.” And in February of that year in an interview with The Face, she once again declared her desire to get launched into orbit, telling the magazine that going to Mars is one of “the main things I'm trying to do.”

Kate Middleton had a sit-down meeting with Olena Zelenska, the First Lady of Ukraine, ahead of them both attending Queen Elizabeth's funeral on Monday.
The royal held a private meeting with Zelenska at Buckingham Palace on Sunday in her new official capacity as Princess of Wales. The First Lady was visiting London as she is one of 500 dignitaries and world leaders who will attend the late monarch's funeral to pay their respects. Zelenska's husband President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to remain in Ukraine amid Russia's ongoing invasion of the country. Zelenskyy was been praised by many members of the royal family for his leadership and bravery. Russian President Vladimir Putin was reportedly not invited to Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
Kate and her husband Prince William previously stated in February that they stood with “all of Ukraine's people” during the early days of the invasion. The royal couple released a joint statement via their Twitter account @KensingtonRoyal at the time, writing: “In October 2020 we had the privilege to meet President [Volodymyr] Zelensky and the First Lady to learn of their hope and optimism for Ukraine’s future.” They continued, “Today we stand with the President and all of Ukraine’s people as they bravely fight for that future.” They concluded with an emoji of the Ukrainian flag and their initials “W & C.”
A couple weeks after announcing their support, the Prince and Princess of Wales paid a visit to London’s Ukrainian Cultural Centre where they helped sort through and pack donations bound for some of the then over 1 million refugees who had fled the country since the beginning of the Russian invasion. Both Kate and William wore matching pins for the occasion featuring the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag and Kate also wore a bright blue Alexander McQueen sweater. The royals also brought a contribution of their own, offering up some homemade brownies and granola bars to share with all the volunteers.
Some of those donations were being handled by the Disaster Emergency Committee, the charity umbrella organization that Queen Elizabeth gave a “generous” private donation to at the start of the war in Ukraine. “Many thanks to Her Majesty The Queen for continuing to support the Disasters Emergency Committee and for making a generous donation to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal,” the group said in a tweet at the time. Disaster Emergency Committee is an umbrella organization for 15 different British charities allowing them to launch collective fundraisers and coordinated responses after disasters take place overseas.

On Monday morning, Monaco’s Princess Charlene and her husband Prince Albert were among the guests at Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey. Albert arrived wearing a military uniform, while Charlene wore a long black dress with a high collar and a black hat with a veil. It was a rare international appearance for Charlene, who faced serious health issues that kept her grounded in South Africa and away from royal duties for most of 2021. She first returned to royal duties in April 2022.
The day after the queen’s death, Charlene shared a tribute on her Instagram account. “I am deeply saddened at the news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a truly great lady whose dedication and service was recognised throughout the world during the 70 years of her reign,” it read. “Today, my thoughts are with her family, her children, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren and the British people.” Albert also shared a statement, where he congratulated King Charles III on his accession to the throne.

The couple were among a large group of international royals who attended the funeral, including Belgium’s Queen Mathilde and King Philippe, Spain’s King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, the Netherland’s King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima, and Queen Beatrix, Sweden’s King Carl Gustaf XVI and Queen Silvia, and Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II and Crown Prince Frederik, and Jordan’s Queen Rania and King Abdullah.
Albert is a distant cousin of the queen, through a British aristocrat who married into the House of Grimaldi in the 19th century. In 2012, he and Charlene were also guests at the queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebratory banquet at Buckingham Palace.
