ROME, NY (WKTV) - A man will lead the NYS American Legion. U.S. Air Force veteran David Riley, Sr. of Rome is the new state commander of the American Legion.
His election as Department of New York commander concluded the 104th Annual Department Convention, held July 14-16 in Binghamton.
During his one-year term, Riley will visit counties all around the state to share The American Legion message of veteran advocacy and community involvement.
He is the third Oneida County resident to become state commander in the Legion’s 103-year history. (The others were Moses G. Hubbard of New Hartford, 1931-1932, and Ronald C. Bertrand of Lee Center, 1996-1997.)
Riley served four years in the Air Force from 1978 to 1982.
A life member of The American Legion, Riley joined Utica Post 229 in 1995 and transferred in 2000 to Rome’s Henry P. Smith Post 24, where he served as commander from 2004 to 2006.
In addition to many other positions at the post level, Riley was 2012-2013 Oneida County commander. | https://www.wktv.com/news/rome-man-will-lead-nys-american-legion/article_c166761c-0583-11ed-977a-f7bc7b34b204.html | 2022-07-17T04:21:38Z | https://www.wktv.com/news/rome-man-will-lead-nys-american-legion/article_c166761c-0583-11ed-977a-f7bc7b34b204.html | false |
ROME (AP) — Italy’s top criminal court has rebuffed prosecutors’ efforts to revive the trial of high-level Egyptian security officials in the 2016 torture-slaying of an Italian doctoral student.
The Court of Cassation ruled in Rome on Friday evening that there were no grounds to appeal a lower court decision last year that the trial couldn’t go forward because the defendants hadn’t been officially notified of the charges and the trial date.
Giulio Regeni, 28, was researching labor unions for Cairo street vendors when he was abducted, tortured and slain, his mutilated body found along a highway days after his disappearance in the Egyptian capital.
The case strained relations between Italy and Egypt, an ally in Italian efforts to combat international terrorism. At one point, Italy withdrew its ambassador to press for Egyptian cooperation in the investigation. Italian prosecutors pursued the case, eventually winning indictment of the four Egyptians, to be tried in absentia in a Rome courtroom.
In a phone interview broadcast on Italian state TV Saturday, family lawyer Alessandra Ballerini called the latest decision a “wound for justice for all Italians.”
Defense lawyers had successfully argued that the defendants had never been formally notified because they didn’t provide their official addresses, a requirement in Italy’s justice system. Unless they can be notified, the trial remains suspended, effectively indefinitely halting the case in the courtroom.
The use of that loophole was particularly upsetting for the family and friends of Regeni because, they say, the defendants are widely known in Egypt due to their prominent roles in that country’s security apparatus.
“As citizens we can’t accept impunity for those who torture and kill,” Ballerini said.
On Friday morning, hours ahead of the ruling, Regeni’s family, friends and supporters of the pursuit of justice in his slaying had rallied in front of the courthouse.
Prosecutors had argued before the court of Cassation that there was a “reasonable certainty that the four Egyptian defendants had knowledge of the existence of the criminal case against them,” the Italian news agency ANSA said.
In the run-up to the ruling, Regeni’s supporters had appealed via social media for help in tracking down the legal addresses of the defendants.
His mother, Paola Regeni, has told reporters her son’s body was so badly mutilated by torture that she only recognized the tip of his nose when she viewed it.
Human rights activists have said the marks on his body resembled those resulting from widespread torture in Egyptian Security Agency facilities.
Italian prosecutors had accused police Maj. Sherif Magdy; police Maj. Gen. Tareq Saber, who was a top official at the domestic security agency at the time of Regeni’s abduction; Col. Hesham Helmy, who was serving at a security center in charge of policing the Cairo district where the Italian was living, and Col. Acer Kamal, who headed a police department in charge of street operation and discipline.
After Regeni’s body was found, Egyptian authorities alleged that the Cambridge University doctoral student was slain by a gang of robbers. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/italys-top-court-murder-trial-of-egyptians-cant-proceed/ | 2022-07-17T04:26:38Z | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/italys-top-court-murder-trial-of-egyptians-cant-proceed/ | true |
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lankan lawmakers met Saturday to begin choosing a new leader to serve the rest of the term abandoned by the president who fled abroad and resigned after mass protests over the country’s economic collapse.
A day earlier, Sri Lanka’s prime minister was sworn in as interim president until Parliament elects a successor to Gotabaya Rajapaksa, whose term ends in 2024. Parliament Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana promised a swift and transparent political process that should be done within a week.
The new president could appoint a new prime minister, who would then have to be approved by Parliament.
Parliament’s secretary general, Dhammika Dasanayake, said during a brief session on Saturday that nominations for the election of the new president will be heard on Tuesday and if there is more than one candidate, the lawmakers will vote on Wednesday.
Dasanayake also read Gotabaya’s resignation letter out loud in Parliament.
In the letter, Rajapaksa says he was stepping down following requests by the people of Sri Lanka and political party leaders. He notes that the economic crisis was looming even when he took office in 2019 and was aggravated by frequent lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic.
Security around the Parliament building in the capital, Colombo, was heightened on Saturday with armed masked soldiers on guard and roads near the building closed to the public.
In a televised statement on Friday, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said he would initiate steps to change the constitution to curb presidential powers and strengthen Parliament, restore law and order and take legal action against “insurgents.”
It was unclear to whom he was referring, although he said true protesters would not have gotten involved in clashes Wednesday night near Parliament, where many soldiers reportedly were injured.
“There is a big difference between protesters and insurgents. We will take legal action against insurgents,” he said.
Wickremesinghe became acting president after Rajapaksa fled Sri Lanka on Wednesday and flew first to the Maldives and then to Singapore. Many protesters insisted that Wickremesinghe too should step aside.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s opposition leader, who is seeking the presidency, vowed to “listen to the people” and to hold Rajapaksa accountable.
In an interview with The Associated Press from his office, Sajith Premadasa said that if he wins the election in Parliament, he would ensure that “an elective dictatorship never, ever occurs” in Sri Lanka.
“That’s what we should do. That is our function — catching those who looted Sri Lanka. That should be done through proper constitutional, legal, democratic procedures,” Premadasa said.
Sri Lanka has run short of money to pay for imports of basic necessities such as food, fertilizer, medicine and fuel for its 22 million people. Its rapid economic decline has been all the more shocking because, before this crisis, the economy had been expanding, with a growing, comfortable middle class.
The protests underscored the dramatic fall of the Rajapaksa political clan that has ruled Sri Lanka for most of the past two decades.
The Rev. Jeewantha Peiris, a Catholic priest and protest leader, said the country had “come through a hard journey.”
“We are happy as a collective effort because this struggle of Sri Lanka was participated by all the citizens of Sri Lanka, even diaspora of Sri Lanka,” he said.
Sri Lanka remains a powder keg, and the military warned Thursday that it had powers to respond in case of chaos — a message some found ominous.
The speaker urged the public to “create a peaceful atmosphere” for the democratic process and for Parliament to “function freely and conscientiously.”
Sri Lanka is seeking help from the International Monetary Fund and other creditors, but its finances are so poor that even obtaining a bailout has proven difficult, Wickremesinghe recently said.
The protesters accuse Rajapaksa and his powerful political family of siphoning money from government coffers and of hastening the country’s collapse by mismanaging the economy. The family has denied the corruption allegations, but Rajapaksa acknowledged that some of his policies contributed to Sri Lanka’s meltdown.
Maduka Iroshan, 26, a university student and protester, said he was “thrilled” that Rajapaksa had quit, because he “ruined the dreams of the young generation.”
Months of protests reached a frenzied peak last weekend when demonstrators stormed the president’s home and office and Wickremesinghe’s official residence. On Wednesday, they seized his office.
The demonstrators initially vowed to stay until a new government was in place, but they shifted tactics Thursday, apparently concerned that an escalation in violence could undermine their message following clashes outside Parliament that left dozens injured.
Protester Mirak Raheem noted the lack of violence and said the work was far from over.
“This is really something amazing, the fact that it happened on the back of largely peaceful protest. But obviously this is just a beginning,” Raheem said, citing work to rebuild the economy and restore public confidence in the political system.
Rajapaksa and his wife slipped away in the night aboard a military plane early Wednesday. On Thursday, he went to Singapore, according to the city-state’s Foreign Ministry. It said he had not requested asylum, and it was unclear if he would stay or move on. He previously has obtained medical services there, including undergoing heart surgery.
Since Sri Lankan presidents are protected from arrest while in power, Rajapaksa likely wanted to leave while he still had constitutional immunity and access to the plane.
As a military strategist whose brutal campaign helped end the country’s 26-year civil war, Rajapaksa and his brother, who was president at the time, were once hailed by the island’s Buddhist Sinhalese majority. Despite accusations of wartime atrocities, including ordering military attacks on ethnic Tamil civilians and abducting journalists, Rajapaksa remained popular among many Sri Lankans. He has continually denied the allegations.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Doris Gene (Jean) LeCount Alber Ferrari, 97, of San Antonio, Texas, and formerly of Ligonier, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Aug. 18, 2021.
She was born on Feb. 4, 1924, in Wawaka, Indiana, the daughter of Jesse and Florence (Miller) LeCount.
She married Dr. Robert J. Alber on June 4, 1949, who preceded her in death on July 31, 1970.
She then married Col. Victor J. Ferrari on Sept. 3, 1978. He died on May 5, 2007. She was also preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Helen Schermerhorn and Kathryn Juday Spahr; and one brother, Paul LeCount.
She is survived by her loving daughters, Jane (Joseph) Reinke, of Mounds View, Minnesota, Susan (Steven) Brizius, of North Royalton, Ohio, and Rebecca (Douglas) Smock, of San Antonio, Texas; six grandchildren, Sarah (Kale) Schulz, of Brecksville, Ohio, Jennifer Brizius, of Lakewood, Ohio, Megan Smock, of Fort Worth, Texas, Casey (Griffin) Kirchner, of Fort Worth, Texas, Joseph (Rebecca) Reinke, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Jesse (Sarah) Reinke, of New Richmond, Wisconsin; two great-grandchildren, Lucas and Adelyn Schulz, of Brecksville, Ohio; and nieces, nephews; and one cousin.
Doris Gene graduated from Manchester College, North Manchester, Indiana, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education in 1947. She started her teaching career in Avilla, Indiana, and then moved to the elementary school in Ligonier, Indiana, where she retired in 1978, after 29 years of teaching.
Following her marriage to Col. Ferrari in 1978, Jean moved to San Antonio, Texas, where she led an active life. She volunteered as a tutor at Lockhill Elementary School. One of her favorite pastimes was flower gardening, so it was natural for her to join the Hunters Creek Garden Club. Doris Gene was active with the Assistance League of San Antonio for many years.
She was a member of University United Methodist Church, where she participated in Bible study, Sunday school and other activities. She mentored children through the San Antonio Education Partnership program that her husband, Col. Vic Ferrari, started through USAA, in conjunction with the military bases in San Antonio.
Doris Gene had a passion for helping others learn. When her first husband was tragically killed, she established a memorial scholarship through the Indiana University School of Dentistry, to assist students studying for dental professions. When Col. Ferrari, her second husband, passed away, she established a memorial scholarship for San Antonio high school students to attend college. She also established a scholarship in Ligonier, Indiana, to benefit West Noble High School students pursuing post-secondary education.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to the Doris Gene Alber Ferrari Scholarship or Ligonier Public Library, ℅ Community Foundation of Noble County, 1599 Lincolnway South, Ligonier, IN 46767 or at https://cfnoble.org/donate-now/donate-online/
Visitation and a memorial service will be held at Ligonier United Methodist Church, Ligonier, Indiana, on Thursday, July 21, 2022. There will be a 10 a.m., visitation and 11 a.m., service, followed by a reception.
A private interment at Oakpark Cemetery in Ligonier, Indiana, will follow the reception. Arrangements are with Yeager Funeral Home in Ligonier, Indiana. | https://www.kpcnews.com/obituaries/article_c1c3c539-c5c2-52db-a3c1-dedd731d25b4.html | 2022-07-17T04:34:34Z | https://www.kpcnews.com/obituaries/article_c1c3c539-c5c2-52db-a3c1-dedd731d25b4.html | true |
AJ Dillon went head-to-head with a baseball mascot, and it ended poorly for the mascot
Elvis has left the building and maybe this mortal coil.
The Kenosha Kingfish mascot (that's Elvis) went toe-to-toe with Packers running back AJ Dillon, he with the massive quads and thundering NFL carries, as part of a celebrity softball extravaganza Saturday in Kenosha. It went quite badly, for the mascot.
It appears Elvis was going head-to-head in an "Oklahoma drill" variation, with the goal of bringing the opponent to the turf in a 1-on-1 situation. Both began from a seated position facing away from each other. They got to their feet, and Dillon promptly eviscerated the poor mascot, with his foam head flying off in the process.
The eye-opening moment came during the Kenosha Kingfish celebrity softball game, featuring a number of current and former Packers players like Ahman Green, Jordan Love, Dorsey Levens, Gilbert Brown, George Teague and Jordan Love. Jerseys from the event will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Kenosha.
The Kingfish are part of the Northwoods League, a wooden-bat summer baseball circuit featuring college players.
Dillon has had a high-profile offseason, including his wedding, European honeymoon and various other excursions around Wisconsin (mostly Door County).

WASHINGTON (AP) — An off-duty police officer shot and killed a man armed with a semiautomatic handgun in the area of a Southwest Washington entertainment district Saturday night, the Metropolitan Police Department said.
The encounter took place shortly after 9 p.m. EDT in the area of The Wharf, a district of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues along the Potomac River.
At least one shot was fired by the officer, who was with a second off-duty officer at the time, Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said. A person who may have been with the gunman was being treated at a hospital for a graze wound, Contee said.
The officers had observed the man pointing a handgun while on a pier just outside of a restaurant and “engaged” the man, Contee said in a statement to reporters. He said the suspect was “a very brazen individual” and that the investigation was continuing. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Man-shot-and-killed-by-off-duty-police-in-DC-s-17310176.php | 2022-07-17T05:04:42Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Man-shot-and-killed-by-off-duty-police-in-DC-s-17310176.php | false |
PHOENIX management's standing offer to star player Matthew Wright remains.
It's now up to the Fil-Canadian gunner whether to pick it up.
"We have an offer and it's up to him," said team manager Paolo Bugia said on Saturday when the Fuel Masters announced Wright is playing his final game for the team in the PBA Philippine Cup as he goes to the US for his wedding next week.
"In terms of the offer, I think that's the final offer."
Wright's contract with the only PBA franchise he played for is set to expire by August.
The two sides have been negotiating for a new deal since the end of the Governors’ Cup last April, and obviously the talks reached a stalemate as the clock is slowly ticking away for both parties to reach a compromise.
Wright has been vocal all along that he's considering a lot of options, a decision which Phoenix management respects.
Even Wright's decision to leave for the US during the team's all-Filipino campaign had the blessing of management that the Fuel Masters are ready to play their remaining game in the eliminations — or beyond it — without their best player.
"We knew naman that he will be leaving for the wedding so the team is preparing to possibly play in the playoffs even without him," said Bugia.
But the Phoenix team manager said the Fuel Masters know the scenario that awaits them.
Following its 89-66 blowout win over Converge at the Mall of Asia Arena that snapped its five-game skid for a 3-7 record, Phoenix still needs to get past Barangay Ginebra in its final assignment in the hope of forging a tie for the eighth and final playoffs berth.
Bugia said the team is ready for the inevitable.
"If we make it (playoffs), he (Wright) might not be there. So we're ready for that. My mindset naman yung mga players na we may not make it," Bugia said.
"After that, we don't want to look past. If the off season comes, we'll see what happens.
But in the case a miracle happens and the Fuel Masters made it all the way to the finals, Bugia said that's a different discussion.
"If we make the finals, iba yun. Stop the honeymoon first and comeback," said Bugia, joking about the longshot scenario.
"And OK naman siya (Wright)."

Whenever Liverpool’s miraculous Champions League triumph in Istanbul is recalled, chief among the aspects which have people shaking their heads in wonderment are the names of some of the players who made that heady night in the Turkish capital possible.
With the greatest of respect to them, Djimi Traore and Milan Baros - who both started against AC Milan in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium - along with the likes of Neil Mellor, Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Anthony Le Tallec and Antonio Nunez, who all made valuable contributions en route to the final, are unlikely to ever make anyone’s all-time LFC XI and would, in all likelihood, have never been anywhere near getting into the far more accomplished Reds side that won the club’s sixth European Cup fourteen years later in Madrid.
Yet their names are written forever into Anfield folklore because of the cameo roles they played during Rafa Benitez’s side’s astonishing road to glory in 2004/05 - as is that of another unsung hero, who never saw a second of action in that season’s Champions League final, but without whose efforts over the course of the campaign Liverpool may well not have even got out of the group stages.

Igor Biscan arrived at Anfield with a glowing reputation and made a hugely positive start before falling out of favour and becoming a figure of ridicule, after being pressed into service in an unfamiliar position, until his final season on Merseyside became one of ultimate redemption and established his status as a cult hero.
The midfielder had already amassed an impressive amount of playing experience in his native Croatia before Gerard Houllier brought him to Anfield in December 2000. Having been talented enough to represent the national team at youth level, Biscan worked his way through the ranks at Dinamo Zagreb and, following a loan spell with NK Samovar, had established himself as a key figure in one of the the club’s most successful side, helping them a fourth successive league title and impressive wins over FC Porto and Ajax in their first ever Champions League campaign in 1998/99. His progress saw him named captain and he led his team to another league title the following year, his powerful presence in midfield drawing further attention when Zagreb managed a creditable goalless draw away to reigning European champions Manchester United. His reputation was further bolstered by stellar showings in the European Under-21 Championships in the summer of 2000 and, with clubs such as Juventus, AC Milan, Ajax and Barcelona showing interest, the Liverpool manager swooped.
By the end of September, a £5.5m deal was agreed to bring him to Anfield once the Croatian season shut down for its winter break and he duly arrived in time for the hectic Christmas period with Houllier jubilant at having beaten off some of Europe’s top clubs to secure the 22-year-old’s signature.
"We are delighted to have him, especially as so many other top European clubs were interested,” the Frenchman said after securing the Reds' 19th overseas signing in just over two years. “He is an international player and a class player. We've been watching him for a long time. He is a versatile footballer as he showed against Scotland recently when he played on the right of midfield. But I see him as a defensive midfielder. The price isn't low. We are aware of that, but we are living in an era of football where you have to buy the potential because the finished article is too expensive. We are trying to build a team and we now have a side that is starting to blossom. Igor will be part of that.”
It was a huge opportunity for the young Croat and he admitted years later to the official Liverpool website that he didn’t truly appreciate the scale of the challenge ahead of him. “I didn’t know Liverpool were after me”, he recalled.
“I was in some talks with some other clubs; not me personally but Dinamo Zagreb. I went to Amsterdam to visit Ajax, they invited me to come there to get to know the club. There were rumours they would buy me but in the end, when Liverpool made an offer that was it. That was the best offer for me and for the club and I made the decision. That was it. I was young, I didn’t really know where I was going and the stature of the club and the importance of the club and how big it really is because when I was growing up, in the media in that time some other clubs were maybe dominating and were more popular than Liverpool. So, to be honest, I didn’t really know how big it is. The original plan was for me to arrive in England in January; my season in Croatia finished at the beginning of December and they told me they would give me a little rest because that’s what usually happens in Croatia and most of Europe. But as soon as we finished in Croatia they said, because of injuries, I need to go straight ahead to join the team as soon as possible.”
The Reds were in the midst of a marathon season which would ultimately stretch to 63 games as Houllier’s men - who had missed out on a first ever qualification for the Champions League on the final day of the previous campaign in the Frenchman’s first term in sole charge - won an unprecedented cup treble and played every possible match available to them. With the squad already starting to show signs of wear and tear having played 25 games by the first week of December, Biscan was handed a first appearance just days after arriving on Merseyside, being thrown on as a second-half substitute against Ipswich Town at Anfield. The newly-promoted ‘Tractor Boys’ had been the season’s surprise package so far and were harbouring Champions League ambitions of their own after a superb start to the campaign. That continued with a 1-0 victory, only their second ever at Anfield, which took them three points clear of Liverpool and into third place in the league table, but the debutant showed enough to earn himself a start in the Reds’ next league game away to Manchester United.
Less than two years previously, after an agonising FA Cup fourth-round defeat at Old Trafford, which saw Liverpool lead for almost the entire match after Michael Owen’s early header, before being left shell-shocked when stoppage-time goals from Dwight Yorke and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sent them crashing out, Houllier had vowed: “One day we will beat Manchester United. I promise you that”. And this would prove to be the day, Danny Murphy’s well-placed free kick on the stroke of half-time in front of the Stretford End securing a precious three points and a first win over Alex Ferguson’s side anywhere in five years and at Old Trafford in 10.
It was United’s first home league defeat in almost three years and, while inevitably Houllier’s men had to soak up a fair amount of pressure from the home team, the obdurate platform provided by Biscan alongside Steven Gerrard in the middle of the park ensured the result was no fluke, the BBC writing afterwards: “The central midfield partnership of Gerrard and Biscan were particularly impressive.” While the Guardian were more even more effusive in their praise of the Reds’ Croatian debutant, saying: “Gerrard enjoyed solid support from Igor Biscan, newly arrived from Dinamo Zagreb and justifying his inclusion at the expense of Gary McAllister with a display of unflustered tackling and passing that belied the passions that always accompany this fixture.”
The following weekend the country’s other leading side Arsenal pitched up at Anfield just two days before Christmas and Biscan, who kept his place in the team and again played the full 90 minutes, helped ensure it was a happy Yuletide for the Reds by producing another dominant showing in midfield as goals from Gerrard, Owen, Nick Barmby and Robbie Fowler saw a 4-0 win over the out-played and out-fought Gunners who were now only two points ahead of Houllier’s men. It was the perfect start for Biscan, whose ability to slot into the team at short notice and play his part in such significant results had Kopites dreaming of glory the following May as they tucked into their turkey.
“It was a special moment for me to make my debut against Ipswich so soon after signing,” he recalled. “We lost that game, so the atmosphere in the dressing room after the game was not good, but I will remember that day forever. I then made my full debut at Old Trafford. Back then Man United was the team to beat and winning against our biggest rival at Old Trafford on my full league debut was great.”
A third successive start for the Croat followed on Boxing Day at Middlesbrough but the winning streak came to an end as a Sander Westerveld error handed the Teesiders a 1-0 victory and, although a first Liverpool goal followed the following month when he raced through and finished calmly in front of the Kop as the Reds overturned a first-leg deficit to beat Crystal Palace 5-0 and reach the League Cup final, a red card against Rotherham United in the FA Cup third round had already signalled the settling-in problems he would endure.
“It was difficult from the start,” he admitted. “But at the beginning, maybe because of the adrenaline and how big everything was and the games – suddenly you play against some of the top players in the world, against the top teams in the world, and you play with some great players, and the atmosphere and everything is just so big – you don’t think about tiredness or fatigue. The first four or five games I was okay physically and mentally, but then I started to feel pain everywhere because the change of everything was just too big; the intensity, the physical demands were different to what I was used to in Croatia. I had some problems, if I can remember, especially my back was hurting a lot. Then I struggled a bit for the remainder of that season. But you cannot complain when you get a chance to play and that first season I arrived was unbelievable, we won almost everything and there was just no time to think about it because it was game after game in which you needed to win to progress and to give yourself a chance to win something. It was amazing.”
Having already featured in Europe that season for Zagreb, Biscan was cup-tied for Liverpool’s UEFA Cup campaign But Houllier’s insistence in utilising his squad to its full extent to preserve legs for the business end of the campaign still saw him feature regularly during the winter months, and Biscan won his first medal as a Liverpool player a little over two months after arriving when he started the League Cup final against Birmingham City in Cardiff, the Reds eventually triumphing on penalties to end the club’s six-year wait for silverware. His appearances tailed off, however, as the season reached its dramatic conclusion, a second sending off in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park won so memorably by Gary McAllister’s 44-yard stoppage-time free kick not helping his cause, and he played only four minutes of the last half-dozen Premier League games, not making the squad for either the FA Cup semi-final or the Owen-inspired victory over Arsenal in the Cardiff final.
“It was a rollercoaster season for everybody,” he recalled, “But maybe for me even more because I was really young, and to come from this league and this type of football in this environment to something like that, in which every game is just so big and the atmosphere of the fans and the importance of the games was big. But you don’t really think about it. Of course, I wasn’t playing all the time, but when you prepare for the game you are positive because your team is winning and everything around you is so positive, so it gets you through. In the end it was perfect, a perfect six months and season for us.”
That was as good as it would get though for Biscan for quite some time. Although he came off the bench in both the Charity Shield and the UEFA Super Cup final early the following campaign, he started only seven Premier League games over the next two seasons - with his brief outings often seeing him shunted often out of position wide in midfield or occasionally in defence. The consistent progress of the Houllier era may have initially continued with a second-place finish in 2002 despite the manager’s life-threatening heart problem ruling him out for months, but the Croat’s development stalled and forced him to consider his future even if he was brutally honest as to why he felt he had fallen out of favour.
“The main reason is that I wasn’t good enough, he admitted. “It took me some time to really adapt and understand and find my place in the team, within the team in this type of football. It wasn’t easy and I didn’t play much. I just needed to change some things about the way I think about the game; then I did it and when I did it, when I changed some things, of course I still had to be patient and give myself a little bit of time. It was not easy, to be honest. I left home at a very young age, didn’t speak the language very well, and on top of that I came there to play at a level that I had never played at before. The team was full of international players, as well as some of the best English players, and you soon realise that you are in for a bit of a tough time. I struggled a lot during those two seasons. I will put it simply – I just was not good enough to play more. At some point I wanted to leave because I wanted a fresh start and had some options abroad, but the manager convinced me to stay. In the end that proved to be the right decision.”
Part of Houllier’s reasoning in persuading him to stay was because he had earmarked Biscan for a significant positional change. Although Liverpool had started the 2002/03 campaign well and led the Premier League going into November, things tailed away badly to such an extent the Reds failed to even qualify for the Champions League with not even another League Cup final victory in Cardiff - this time over Manchester United - preventing the growing feeling they were beginning to go backwards. With Roman Abramovich’s takeover of Chelsea during that summer of 2003 changing the financial landscape of English football, and Liverpool’s first-choice centre-back pairing of Sami Hyypia and Stephane Henchoz nearing their 30s, Houllier identified Biscan as a credible option at the heart of his defence and spoke before the start of the new campaign as to why he felt that was where the Croat would play his best football.
"I like him in this position,” the Frenchman said. “He is strong, powerful and quick, which are attributes I like. He could be good cover in that central defensive role. It will be his position in the future. In time he could be an awesome centre-back. Sometimes he loses the ball when he passes, but then who doesn't? I prefer players who try things”
Although Biscan would start the season opener against Chelsea, injures to Henchoz and Jamie Carragher soon saw him pressed into service at centre-back and he would play 39 games in all competitions, the highest tally of his Liverpool career. But it was a campaign of toil for both the Reds, who never managed to recover from a poor start to even hint at any involvement in the title race, and the Croatian himself who never looked entirely comfortable in his new surroundings. Matters reached a head at Marseille in the second leg of Liverpool’s UEFA Cup quarter-final - their last chance of silverware after dismal domestic cup defeats to Bolton Wanderers and Portsmouth - with the tie level at 1-1 after the Anfield first leg. Emile Heskey gave the visitors’ a 15th-minute lead in the Stade Velodrome but nine minutes before half-time Biscan, having been caught out of position, hauled back strike Steve Marlet as he ran through on goal and was shown a red card by Spanish referee Arturo Ibanez, who also awarded the home side a penalty despite the foul appearing to take place outside the penalty area.
Didier Drogba equalised from the spot and Abdoulaye Meite’s second-half header sent the French side into the semi-finals with a furious Houllier - who had a made a beeline for the stadium’s video room at half time to watch the replays so incensed was he by the referee’s decisions following Biscan’s foul - claiming afterwards that Liverpool had not been beaten fairly.
"There was a pull but it was made some three or four yards outside the box,” he fumed. "The referee let it go and played the advantage. If Marlet had scored, would he have disallowed it? You can either play advantage or not. It was dubious to say the very least. Not one of their players even claimed the penalty, so they were as surprised as we were. It was a very generous home penalty, I'd say. I don't think he would have given it the other way around. We don't think we've been beaten fairly. I’ve said before then it is not players who get you the sack but referees. Today this referee delivered a huge blow to this club. "
Houllier’s words were symptomatic of the woes which encircled the club during his final, dispiriting season in charge and perhaps masked the truth that the concerns over Biscan’s unsuitability at centre-back, which others have feared were an accident, waiting to happen had finally come home to roost, borne out by comments made some time later by Steven Gerrard, who had been appointed club captain earlier in the campaign, in his autobiography.
“Biscan made a stupid mistake and got sent off,” Gerrard said. “Marseille took over and we were out, thanks to Biscan. Liverpool would have won the Uefa Cup that year but for that tit’s shirt pulling.”
Houllier’s men managed to at least salvage something from another desperately disappointing campaign by finishing fourth and qualifying for the Champions League, but the writing was on the wall for the manager, who departed by mutual consent shortly after the season’s end and the expectation was Biscan - who never even made the squad for the final six Premier League fixtures - would soon be following him through the exit door.
The arrival of Spanish coach Rafa Benitez, however, offered a fresh start. Although the former Valencia boss told Biscan - now into the final year of his Liverpool contract - prior to the campaign he was free to leave, with Crystal Palace and Wigan Athletic reportedly both keen, once the Croat indicated his willingness to stay and fight for a place, Benitez’s willingness to listen to where the player felt he could be most effective enabled a glorious swan-song.
“When he first spoke to me, he asked me which position I preferred to play,” Biscan recalled. “I told him I’d like to play as a central midfielder or defensive midfielder. Maybe that was the main thing for me, because I felt I could give my best in that position and it proved to be true. This season was really famous in the end; it was a special season, and for me personally as well because I would say that season was the only season out of the five I was there that I really, I believe, played the level at the top of my abilities. At least that’s what I thought. And I contributed the way I expected myself to contribute during the whole period I was there. Sometimes it just happens like this. Fortunately for me, I managed to reach at least that level of quality that I could play a part.”
Biscan’s appearances under Benitez were limited to brief outings from the bench initially, but he still managed to make his mark with a stunning last-minute finish to put the seal on a 4-2 win away to Fulham in a match which had seen the Reds two goals down at half time, his understated and somewhat bemused celebration as he was mobbed by his team-mates prompting chants of ‘IGOOOR, IGOOOR’ from the away end, which had not been heard since those early weeks of his Liverpool career when he’d brokem into the team with such positive effect. A first start under Benitez followed soon afterwards in a League Cup win at Millwall and, a week later with Gerrard out injured, he was thrust into the side again as the Reds faced a make-or-break Champions League group game away to Deportivo La Coruna.
Only one point from the first nine available had placed hopes of qualifying for the knock-out stages in jeopardy but the Croatian produced a piece of midfield mastery midway through the first half which led to the game’s only goal and secured a crucial victory. Biscan controlled the ball on the halfway line and spun away from his marker before evading three defenders and slipping in John Arne Riise down the left flank, whose cross was turned into his own net by defender Jorge Andrade. It got the Reds’ European hopes firmly back on track but illustrated too how being played in his correct position was key to getting the best from the reinvigorated midfielder.
“Where the Croatian midfielder was once painted as a figure of fun, his dozy expression befitting his rather ponderous and occasional displays in the first team, Biscan is a player reborn,” the Guardian wrote. While the Independent gushed: “Biscan made the most of a rare opportunity to take the playmaking role normally held by Steven Gerrard or Xabi Alonso. His creativity and composure was complemented by tenacious tackling, helping Liverpool establish instant ascendancy.”
It was after Gerrard’s late heroics against Olympiakos that secured qualification from the group stages that Biscan truly came into his own. With the skipper suspended for the first-leg last-16 clash at home to Bayer Leverkusen, Biscan started at Anfield against the Germans and unveiled similar sleight of foot as had been seen against Deportivo to set up the opening goal in Liverpool’s 3-1 win, slaloming through a couple of tackles in the middle of the park before slipping a slide-rule pass through to Luis Garcia who slotted home. Biscan assisted Garcia again in the second leg as Benitez’s men secured a handsome 6-2 aggregate victory to set up a quarter-final against Italian champions Juventus, where he again played a key role, having a hand in the build-up to Garcia’s thumping 30-yarder which put the Reds two up within the first half hour of the tie, and then showing his tactical discipline and tackling ability as the Reds’ secured a goalless draw against the odds to reach the last four.
Despite Alonso’s return in Turin from a broken leg that had kept him out since January, Benitez now clearly recognised Biscan’s calm and under-stated approach fitted perfectly into the tactical template of two holding midfielders, which was proving so effective in Europe, and the Croat was in from the start for both legs of the semi-final against Chelsea as Liverpool defied expectation against Jose Mourinho’s side - who were crowned Premier League champions the weekend in between the two games - to reach the club’s first European Cup final in 20 years. He never made off the bench in Istanbul against AC Milan as the Reds produced one of sport’s greatest ever miracles by fighting back from three goals down at half-time to win on penalties, but his natural disappointment at not figuring in the Turkish capital never turned to resentment even when reflecting back years after the event, which spoke volumes of the modesty and humility which made him so popular among many of his team-mates.
He said: “It’s normal that you’re disappointed but the game was too big for any selfish thoughts. You want your team to win, your club to win because it’s the final, probably the biggest game in club football. You just don’t think in that way. Of course, you hope that you will play, but when you realise a few days before the game that you will not play, then you just keep working hard. You don’t stop preparing. You’re still happy anyway because you are in a final and preparing yourself to play a part if the team needs you, if the coach needs you. It’s disrespectful to say you should play over a teammate if that is the decision that has been made.
“It was crazy. After the last penalty kick… it’s difficult to explain because of the way we won it, not only this game - that game is a separate story and the most amazing one - but the whole season and especially in that competition, where we struggled a bit and it looked like we weren’t going to make it through the group stage. But once we managed to get from the group stage we just looked solid - very solid and tough. It looked like nobody would beat us. The celebrations in the stadium, after in the hotel and when we came back to the streets of the city, it’s difficult to explain really. It’s a blur, it’s so emotional - really, really emotional. Unbelievable.”
Although Gerrard had been less than complimentary over Biscan’s abilities at the conclusion of the previous term’s European campaign, his Scouse team-mate Jamie Carragher was in no doubt how important the Croatian had been to the Reds’ Champions League heroics. “I felt a bit sorry for him really,” the Bootle-born defender later said. “He was on the bench in the final so he‘s got a Champions League medal. He played as big a part as anybody.”
Now out of contract, Biscan was not offered a new deal by Benitez despite his sterling efforts in the Reds’ path to European glory, with the Spaniard bringing in his former charge from Valencia Momo Sissoko to perform a similar role, and the Croatian signed for Greek side Panathinaikos, where he spent two seasons before returning home to Dinamo Zagreb. Despite a series of frustrating injuries, he led them to further silverware and ended his playing days in 2012 with eight Croatian top-flight titles as well as four Croatian Cups and a Croatian Super Cup to go alongside the medals acquired during his time on Merseyside. A career in management followed initially with Croatian second-tier side Rules, who he led to promotion in 2017, and he won the Slovenian league and cup double with Olimpia Ljubljana the following campaign before returning to Croatia with a brief spell at Rijeka and, since 2019, he has been in charge of Croatia’s Under-21 side.
Despite the contrasting experiences he went through during his four and half years at Anfield, Biscan insisted when featuring in LFC TV’s ‘Added Time’ series that his time on Merseyside made him into the person he is and outlined how a lot of his coaching methods are implemented from what he learned at Liverpool under Houllier and Benitez, who he described as the biggest managers he worked under. His self-effacing nature, however, dismissed the notion he is a ‘cult hero’, which close to two decades after his departure would not be a view shared by the Liverpudlians who enjoyed his often slightly bewildered, just-got-of-bed demeanour and unveiled an iconic banner in honour of him in Istanbul which read ‘Super Croat Igor Biscan Used To Be Atrocious’.
“I am thankful and really appreciate the fans’ support. It is nice to hear that, but I do not consider myself a cult hero,” he told the ECHO in 2021. “I think that there are so many other players who deserve that status before me. I know at times the fans didn’t want to see me in the team. There were other players, and they were better than me. That is ok. That is the reality of the situation but I felt like I always had their support, they were loyal and are special fans. It’s only when you are part of the club you realise how much.
“Liverpool is a place where I learned a lot and I owe a lot. You realise how big the club is and what qualities they teach you there; it stays with you for the rest of your life. I’m in coaching now and there are many things I learned there regarding work ethic, the way you treat everybody around you, the way you go about your job. Everything I learned there, with all the coaches we had, it will always stay with me. Anfield is an iconic stadium. Every time you step on the pitch to play a game there, it is an unbelievable experience. I’ll always be grateful and have so much respect for everything there – the club and the fans – because it’s just something special. It was a happy ending. Having played so many games in that Champions League campaign, winning the competition not only made me very happy but also made me realise that the sacrifices I made and the things I had to do to remain at Liverpool all seem worthwhile. There are perhaps bigger clubs in the world, but I’m not sure any are as special as Liverpool.” | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-put-simply-ridiculed-liverpool-24496750 | 2022-07-17T05:06:19Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-put-simply-ridiculed-liverpool-24496750 | false |

BOISE, Idaho — The new national mental health crisis and suicide lifeline, 988, launched Saturday.
Idaho lawmakers and mental health advocates celebrated the historic change in Twin Falls. Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, co-sponsored legislation in 2020 that helped create 988. He said this new number will ensure people get the help they need.
“We have emergencies in this country in regard to mental health,” Crapo said. “This is a way to put together a system for people to get help fast when they need it.”
The old national crisis hotline was 10 digits long and hard to remember. Crapo said 988 is the solution. Idahoans who call 988 are connected with the Idaho Crisis and Suicide Prevention Hotline. From there, crisis responders make sure people receive the help they need.
It is important to remember the hotline is not just for those experiencing suicidal thoughts - it is for people with all mental health struggles - according to Idaho Crisis and Suicide Prevention Hotline director, Lee Flinn.
“A person can call if they feel suicidal. A person can call if they feel like they’re struggling with depression, anxiety,” Flinn said. “Or maybe they’re going through a really difficult divorce.”
Idaho Rep. Laurie Lickley said the Idaho Legislature put $4.4 million into the rollout of 988. She said she hopes people know their elected officials are fighting for their mental health.
“[Mental health] is a lifelong path and we are with you,” Lickley said.
For many, having a streamlined mental health line is a long time coming. Flinn said the hope is for the number to become just as well known as 911.
“Over time, in the future - everyone in this country - all across Idaho, will know that if you are struggling with emotional distress of any kind, if you have a friend or a family member, everyone will know that you can call 9-8-8,” Flinn said.
The Idaho Crisis and Prevention Center is expecting an uptick in calls in the coming weeks. Right now, they receive about 70 calls per day. To help meet the demand, Flinn said they are looking for more employees and volunteers.

BOISE, Idaho — This article originally appeared in the Idaho Press.
The Idaho Youth Ranch, which first started working with troubled kids at a ranch near Rupert in 1953, is now deep into construction of a new psychiatric residential treatment facility for up to 100 kids a year in Canyon County, after successfully raising more than $27 million in private funds for the project.
The longtime Idaho nonprofit decided to close its Rupert ranch seven years ago – located on a dirt road 12 miles out of Rupert, as it was no longer a cost-effective place to deliver services or maintain staffing – and purchased the Canyon County property. It then spent three years working with a task force and conducting feasibility studies before settling on developing a PRTF, exactly the type of long-term behavioral health facility for youth that’s currently lacking in the state.
“We had a task force that looked at what should the program be, what is the greatest need in the state that we believe we can operate well and sustainably,” said Scott Curtis, Idaho Youth Ranch CEO. “We looked at a lot of different possibilities. … We settled on a PRTF.”
That type of long-term psychiatric treatment facility for youth is covered by Medicaid, but Idaho currently doesn’t have any of those facilities. As a result, roughly 100 Idaho children have been placed out of state at any time to receive treatment, causing hardship for their families and difficulty transitioning back after treatment.
Two years ago, the Idaho Youth Ranch launched its fundraising campaign, with the slogan, “Bring Idaho Kids Home.”
“A group of volunteer leaders statewide … has really worked their tails off over the last couple of years to help raise the funds privately through individuals, businesses and foundations,” Curtis said. “We have one donor … at the $150,000 level that is from outside of Idaho, but other than that, this is Idaho really stepping up.”
“It’s remarkable, and it’s so critical for Idaho’s youth and families,” he said. “This is a huge need.”
Construction has been underway for a year, and the facility will start accepting kids in the summer of 2023.
The site, a 253-acre parcel between Caldwell and Middleton north of the Purple Sage Golf Course, is “this hilly property in the middle of ranch country,” Curtis said. “It’s got a vast pine forest, open space, streams and ponds, and it’s got active ag land being used for farming.” It’s also already the site of an equine center, including a large indoor horse arena, where the Youth Ranch conducts equine therapy for kids.
“It’s quite moving to walk around that property and realize that kids will be there,” Curtis said.
Ruth York, executive director of FY Idaho, or Families and Youth in Idaho, an advocacy organization for families and youth dealing with behavioral health issues, said, “I really like that they weren’t just saying, ‘Oh, we have this great idea’ or ‘we have this great plot of land.’ They were really looking at what’s actually needed here.”
The Idaho Behavioral Health Council, which brings together all three branches of state government in Idaho, has identified the lack of PRTF facilities in Idaho as a top need, and the Legislature this year approved $66 million over the next three years for major behavioral health initiatives for adults and youth, including $15 million to establish PRTFs in all three regions of the state, eastern Idaho, southwestern Idaho, and North Idaho.
Curtis said the Youth Ranch became a Medicaid agency four years ago and has been communicating with the state. “They’ve been incredibly helpful in us understanding the need,” he said. “But that does not mean we’ve had any direct communication about these funds and our eligibility for them. We’re in that process right now along with everyone else.”
There are clear synergies between the Youth Ranch project and the state’s behavioral health plan, which includes a plan to address Idaho’s current behavioral health workforce shortage; all 44 of the state’s counties have been designated as shortage areas for those workers.
“That’s another piece we’re delighted to see as part of the funding plan, is looking at the workforce challenge,” Curtis said, “because that’s a piece we know we’re going to be facing and are already facing.”
When it opens, the new Youth Ranch treatment center in Canyon County will have the equivalent of 115 full-time employees.
The Idaho Youth Ranch currently operates at about 30 locations in Idaho. Those include an outpatient headquarters in Boise where they offer outpatient counseling and their YouthWorks job development program for youth; Anchor House in Coeur d’Alene, which offers out-patient therapy and the Youth Ranch’s adoption program; tele-mental health services that can operate in any Idaho county; the Hays Shelter, an 18-bed crisis shelter for youth in Boise; and 24 thrift shop locations. “Those thrift stores, and more importantly all the Idahoans that donate and shop there, support our programs by doing so,” Curtis said.
In 2021, the Idaho Youth Ranch served more than 1,100 Idaho kids and their families.
The Hays Shelter alone provided 2,598 shelter days to 91 Idaho kids in 2021, the Youth Ranch reported in its annual report, providing short-term residential care that kept the youth in school and connected to their families. It has 18 beds.
“There are a lot of kids that come to Hays that are relatively healthy,” with issues including homelessness or runaways, Curtis said. “There is a real crisis going on in their life. They’re not necessarily eligible for a PRTF.”
That level of care is for youth with a psychiatric diagnosis, he said, whose family has been working to resolve the issues, and have gone through a process that determines they need longer-term residential care.
The new Canyon County campus will include 64 beds, serving more than 100 youth per year; a year-round school; individual and group therapy spaces; a dining hall; indoor and outdoor recreation spaces; a health center; and aftercare for kids and families.
Youth at the center will be provided with 24-hour nursing, psychiatric care and therapeutic treatment. They’ll have access to services including medication reduction, nutrition and physical fitness in a secure environment with 24-hour supervision.
“What I’ve seen in conversations with them is they are really serious about the healing, and they really hold hope for all children,” York said. “They’re just taking this from a really meaningful place.”
That includes bringing troubled youth into an environment where they can experience nature and interact with animals, she said.
“I’ve seen kids go to many places,” she said, “and I’ve had my own child go to places over time that just don’t have that environment. There’s definitely something special and healing about the physical setting that can help a kid make more progress with their therapeutic goals.”
“I think this stands to be one of Idaho’s best resources,” York said. “It’s in an area that is accessible by a fair amount of parents. … I think given what Idaho is trying to fund right now, that this fits really, really well.”
The Idaho Youth Ranch was founded by the Rev. James Crowe and Ruby Carey Crowe. On July 11, 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill passed by Congress to grant the Crowes the right to buy 2,560 acres near Rupert for $1 per acre per year for 25 years with no interest to establish the ranch. After several years of cutting roads, digging wells and clearing sagebrush, the first boy arrived to live at the ranch in 1957.
“Everything grew out of there,” Curtis said.
The Idaho Youth Ranch began offering adoptions in the early 1980s. Thrift stores started in the 1980s to support the programs, and that’s also when the organization started serving girls as well as boys. The old ranch served about 50 kids at a time.
In 2015, the year the Youth Ranch board decided to close the old ranch, it purchased the Canyon County campus. “We kept taking care of kids,” Curtis said. “We even transitioned some of our residential program to a house that was on the new property in Canyon County, but we stopped taking new kids into long-term residential.”
In 2019, the Youth Ranch opened its Equestrian Center on the Canyon County property, including a large indoor riding arena for equine therapy as well as space for more traditional therapy offices.
York said, “It’s kind of amazing. They are a well-known and well-liked and trusted organization in Idaho, and that’s another positive, because this is not a new player coming in. This is a group that knows Idaho and has done their homework, and has been in Idaho and has done this sort of thing in the past.”
She recalled dropping her own child off at a residential center years ago that was just “concrete cinderblock.” The living quarters were dorms, “and very stark,” she said. “It’s not nurturing, it’s not healing. So they’ve really taken the whole healing part as a theme throughout every piece of what they do.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Nationals star outfielder Juan Soto expressed irritation Saturday hours after a report he turned down a record contract with the rebuilding club.
The Athletic, citing unidentified sources, reported Soto turned down a $440 million, 15-year contract offer to remain with the Nationals that would have been the most lucrative in baseball history. Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout signed a 12-year, $426.5 million deal in 2019.
The Nationals said last month that they would not trade the 23-year-old Soto. But speculation about Soto getting dealt was sure to swell after this report of him turning down a long-term deal.
Soto is a two-time All-Star who finished second in the NL MVP voting last season. He will not be a free agent until after the 2024 season.
“It feels really bad to see stuff going out like that because I’m a guy who, my side, keeps everything quiet and try to keep it to them and me,” Soto said before the Nationals played Atlanta. “They just make the decision and do what they need to do.”
Soto referred questions about his contract to his agent, Scott Boras.
Soto was a key piece of Washington’s championship team in 2019 and turned 21 during the World Series. He won the NL batting title in 2020, led the league on on-base percentage in 2020 and 2021 en route to Silver Slugger awards in both seasons.
He is hitting .249 with 19 homers and 42 RBIs this season and will play in Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Soto has reached base in a career-high 24 consecutive games entering Saturday.
The last-place Nationals began the day at a major league-worst 30-62, a whopping 27 games behind the NL East-leading Mets. Washington was 14 1/2 games in back of fourth-place Miami.
“He’s young,” Washington manager Dave Martinez said. “I’m sure when things like that come out that are personal, it bothers people. I’m sure it bothers him a lot. But like I said, he’s got to understand that this is part of the game, right? We’ve all been through it at some point in time. But he’s got to go out there and remember why he’s here, and that’s to help us win games and I know he’ll do that.”
Soto is the most high-profile player left on a team that embarked on a rebuild last year. The Lerner family, which owns the Nationals, is also exploring the possibility of selling the team.
Since last year’s trade deadline, when Washington dealt Max Scherzer, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and others, the Nationals are 48-104.
“I get the taste of winning, so I want to win every year,” Soto said. “I don’t want to keep losing. I hate losing. It is what it is. At the end of the day, we just have to go through it, because as they told me, we all have to go through those moments to win a championship. For me, I think I’m going through mine. I’m just going to keep positive and keep seeing things forward.”
Martinez, Soto’s manager since he reached the majors as a 19-year-old in 2018, said he planned to tell Soto to continue being himself.
“He tells me all the time that he loves the game of baseball and that’s what he plays for,” Martinez said. “Go out there and just play and have fun and don’t worry about what’s going to happen. I mean, at the end of the day, you’re going to get what you deserve, we all know that. And for me, I hope it’s here.”

Not even being the son of celebrity royalty is enough for Brooklyn Beckham to keep a job.
The 23-year-old son of Victoria and David Beckham has been dumped as the face of brand Superdry less than a year after he secured a reported $1.7 million contract for the coveted gig.
A spokesperson for the high-street fashion brand has released a statement saying they have decided to move on from the aspiring model.
“We always review the ambassadors who feature in our campaigns and decided to work with a different range of talent,” a spokesperson told DailyMail.
It’s worlds away from the glowing endorsement Beckham received in November when Superdry boss Julian Dunkerton announced the partnership.
“To have the endorsement of Brooklyn is a testament to what we’re doing as a brand,” Dunkerton said.
“As a business, we want to effect positive change for present and future generations, a generation that Brooklyn is speaking to.”
It seems Beckham, who married Nicola Peltz earlier this year, hasn’t quite found his niche after failed attempts at becoming a footballer like his father, a photographer and a chef.
Beckham decided to turn his back on football in 2015 after he failed to secure an Arsenal scholarship.
He went on to study photography at Parsons School of Design in New York but left after a year.
He then launched a career as a chef with his online Cookin’ With Brooklyn videos, but the series is struggling to find success.
Peltz recently told Tatler that her new husband has consulted his father-in-law, billionaire investment mogul Nelson Peltz for career advice.
“Brooklyn is getting into very exciting things with his shows and also business things and it’s really sweet. I watch him call my dad and say, ‘what do you think about this?’ I love watching him learn from my dad,” she told the publication. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/brooklyn-beckham-dumped-as-face-of-superdry-months-after-he-secured-a-reported-17-million-contract-c-7549780 | 2022-07-17T06:17:03Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/brooklyn-beckham-dumped-as-face-of-superdry-months-after-he-secured-a-reported-17-million-contract-c-7549780 | true |

Experts to comb site of plane crash in northern Greece
By COSTAS KANTOURIS and DEMETRIS NELLAS
Associated Press
PALAIOCHORI, Greece (AP) — Experts were poised to search the site of an airplane crash in northern Greece early Sunday to determine what kind of cargo it carried.
The An-12 cargo plane, which took off from the city of Nis, Serbia, on Saturday, and was headed to Amman, Jordan, crashed shortly before 11 p.m. local time, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Kavala International Airport. Minutes before, the pilot of the plane, which was operated by Ukrainian cargo carrier Meridian, had told air traffic controllers, that there was a problem with one of his engines and that he had to make an emergency landing. He was directed to Kavala airport but never made it there.
The plane is a Soviet-era four-engine turboprop cargo carrier.
Greek media reported there were eight people on the plane and that it was carrying 12 tons of “dangerous materials,” mostly explosives. But local officials said they had no specific information on the cargo and provided slightly varying numbers of people on board.
Drone footage shows that small fragments are all that is left from the plane, which crashed in fields between two villages and dragged a small distance on the ground. Local residents reported seeing a fireball and hearing explosions for two hours after the crash. A plume of white smoke was still rising from the front end of the plane on Sunday morning.
Firefighters who rushed to the scene in the night were prevented from reaching the crash site by smoke and an intense smell which they feared might be toxic. Nearby residents were told to keep their windows shut all night, to not leave their homes and to wear masks. Authorities say they do not know if there were dangerous chemicals on the plane, including those contained in batteries.
The teams of explosives experts which will soon operate onsite will be augmented by experts from Greece’s Atomic Energy Commission, authorities said.
The fire service has cordoned off the area at a radius of about 400 meters.

NORMA HALE ROBINETTE, 85, went to heaven on July 7, 2022. She passed on peacefully, surrounded during the days preceding by her children, grandchildren, and friends. Those days were filled with abundant love, many tears, but also much family chatter and laughter in the telling and re-telling of family tales and lore.
There was nothing she loved more than being with her family - so we know she treasured those last moments here. Norma was born on either September 2 or September 3, 1936, nobody really knows which. Her birth, at home with help of a midwife, referred to then as a "hired" pronounced "hard" girl, somewhere around midnight, led to something less than impeccable records. She was born to loving parents Ben and Bessie Hale at Mud Fork, Logan County, W.Va. Norma is preceded in death by those amazing parents, wonderful husband Robert "Bo" Robinette, adored brother Ben Hale, Jr., and only recently beloved grandson Jacob "Jack" Rardin V, a loss we're blessed she did not have to bear due to her frailty post-stroke. She is reunited with them all now, and probably scratching her "Doodle Man" Jack's back per his request.
She leaves behind five children and 10 grandchildren, all of whom she undoubtedly loved as hard as it is possible to love: Tom Biederman, his wife Lisa, and son Mason; Louis "Benji" Biederman; Beth Ann Rardin and daughters Haley and Janie Rardin; David Hodge and his wife Lindsay and children Ben, Elisabeth "Bess", and Molly Mae; and Max Hodge, his wife Sonya, and their daughters Helen, Lillian, Mary, and Estella. Grandmothers are special, and each grandchild had a unique connection and special bond with their Memaw.
Norma also leaves behind brother Richard Hale, sisters Louetta Jimison and Wilsie Hale, as well as many wonderful nieces and nephews, and an earnest lifetime's worth of friends.
Norma's life journey led her first from Logan, W.Va., to Huntington, W.Va., when she was an incoming senior at Huntington High School, a move instigated by her Daddy for the purpose of improving the family's prospects.
She was a stunning beauty, and so in Huntington attracted much attention from eligible young gentlemen - including Tom Biederman, whose handsomeness, energy, and irreverence proved irresistible. That bond led to a move from Huntington, W.Va., to Springfield, Ky., where she and Tom owned and managed the iconic High Point Farm, breeding, raising and training champion American Saddlebred horses.
Upon Tom's untimely and tragic passing, Norma found herself with three young children, a large horse farm, many horses, and a lack of knowhow as to precisely what to do with all of them. This circumstance led to an opportunity for talented young horsemen, Larry Hodge, to command a barn of his own. Norma and Larry's work relationship at High Point morphed into a marriage that resulted in Norma's sons David and Max Hodge. Norma later moved back to Huntington, W.Va., returning to the love and support of the extended Hale clan, which eventually led to finding love again with Bo Robinette over the last 25 years of his life.
Much later she ventured back to the Bluegrass, living in Lexington to be near sons and grandchildren. She left us after spectacular care by both Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation and hospice at Lexington's Central Baptist Hospital. Norma was a faithful Christian, a member of Southern Hills Methodist Church, and a family matriarch who made her very best effort to instill that faith, and those values, in her big family. She was a remarkable woman and lived a remarkable life. Her family mourns her passing, but knows it was her time and that she's had a glorious homecoming, to her savior and to lost loved ones.
A memorial celebration will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 30, 2022, at Southern Hills Methodist Church, 2356 Harrodsburg Road, Lexington, KY 40503.
In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital 2050 Versailles Road Lexington, KY 40504 or Bluegrass Care Navigators 1733 Harrodsburg Road Lexington, KY 40504. | https://www.herald-dispatch.com/obituaries/wv/norma-hale-robinette/article_ccbc2b16-676c-50fd-b3ad-ddfa01f5adb5.html | 2022-07-17T07:16:50Z | https://www.herald-dispatch.com/obituaries/wv/norma-hale-robinette/article_ccbc2b16-676c-50fd-b3ad-ddfa01f5adb5.html | true |
Looking at the big mess that was supposed to be his new deck, Barry was upset.
The contractor had been a good salesman but not a good carpenter. Barry could sue that company, but he knew it would be difficult. Many fly-by-night contractors are judgment-proof and hard to find.
The many knowledgeable and conscientious contractors working in West Virginia are appreciated for their skills, but the bad apples are not interested in making your job turn out as expected. They’re only interested in taking your money.
Avoiding the hiring of a bad contractor in the first place would have been the best thing for Barry to do. Word of mouth recommendations for recent work is one of the most important aspects of such a project. Barry had been in a hurry, and the contractor said all the right things.
As he now knew, if others have had bad experiences, he was likely to as well. He regretted not asking others at church, social events and even at the grocery store about good contractors and ones to avoid because this information could have saved him money, mess and heartache.
Also, asking the contractor for references and whether he could see the finished work would have helped. Barry should have taken the time to see for himself what the contractor can do and ask questions. Photos of jobs or pages on a website can be misleading (or even someone else’s work).
Barry may have had to wait longer for a top-notch contractor to start work, but it likely would have been right the first time.
Beware that small jobs are often not a priority for busy contractors, making them very fertile ground for bad contractors. Contractors generally make a bigger profit on bigger jobs; the size of the job can make it more difficult to find a quality contractor. For that reason, many unscrupulous contractors focus on small project work that is less popular.
West Virginia’s testing of contractors is rigorous. Doing an advance check on whether a contractor is licensed in the state by calling 304-558-7890 is smart. An online search for licensed contractors is available at http://www.wvlabor.com/new_searches/contractor_search_new.cfm.
Those handling repair or remodeling jobs as handymen are generally not licensed.
When discussing a job with a contractor, also ask for his or her liability insurance and workers compensation insurance (if they have others working for them) certificates. If they don’t have them, ask why. Those coverages are protections against things that go wrong and can protect you, the consumer, from big-money lawsuits on liability issues and hassles.
The contract that is drawn up and signed by both parties is crucial to the success of the project. Barry didn’t get one. If just a verbal contract is suggested to speed things up and it is an expensive job, insist on a written contract before any work starts or material is purchased.
Be sure to check over all of the contract terms about the work to be done, especially the preliminary demolition or prep work, and even ask someone else for help with interpreting what the terms are. Often the homeowner assumes something is going to be done, but the contractor hasn’t agreed to that. Better safe than sorry, because as Barry now knows, this is your money that could be wasted needlessly and your costly problem to clean up.
If you are asked to make an advance payment for the materials, that tells you something about the contractor. Many reputable contractors will give you a listing of what’s needed and request that you order the materials from the supplier you want. You know what you’re getting that way. Others include the materials in the bill as they go because they can buy them on their credit account at the supplier.
Focus on quality materials being used on your job. Don’t let low-quality items shorten the life of the repairs or additions. Barry also missed out on doing that. He was mostly concerned about the low price the contractor had promised and was happy with how quickly they could start the work.
Inspect the work as it is being done or have someone experienced in construction help you with that. Ask questions. Don’t take it for granted that everything is being done correctly.
Stick to the plan. If the contractor says, “While I’m here, I could do x, y and z,” that could be an expensive come-on. Don’t approve extra jobs until you’ve seen the quality of the contractor’s work and without consulting with someone who is knowledgeable about the necessity for the extras.
When payment is discussed, make it clear that you will not pay the final amount until all of the work is done completely and as agreed upon. Actually, that term should be included in the contract. Don’t be pressured into paying early, as Barry was.
If things have not worked out as planned and you can’t locate the contractor or he won’t come back, you may consider contacting your county’s prosecutor to make a criminal complaint or filing a consumer fraud complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-382-4357.
Also, tough as it was to face these facts, Barry realized that he honestly couldn’t afford the costs of employing a good contractor using quality materials at this point in his life. Instead, he was now thinking seriously of finding a smaller place with fewer responsibilities and expenses very soon. He would save money in the process and decrease his worries, too.

School defibrillators: State schools to receive life-saving devices by 2023
- Published
All state-funded schools in England will have a defibrillator by summer 2023, the government has said.
Many schools already have the devices however the government says it aims to "plug the gaps" by funding about 20,000 kits.
It follows a campaign by the parents of Oliver King, who died when his heart stopped in a swimming lesson in 2011.
Education Secretary James Cleverly said he hoped the move "goes some way to preventing more tragic stories".
"Access to funding must not stand in the way of every school having on-site access to a life-saving defibrillator, " he added.
Oliver's father, Mark King, said the family and their supporters had "fought with tenacity to make defibrillators mandatory in all schools" after the 12-year-old's death.
He believes his son, who attended school in Liverpool, "would still be alive today" if there had been an on-site defibrillator.
Mr King said: "I'm therefore delighted that, after our decade-long fight, the government has finally listened and schools will now be equipped with them."
The pundit and former footballer Jamie Carragher, who has backed the Oliver King Foundation, said he was "delighted that the government has committed to installing this lifesaving kit in all schools".
"This is fantastic news and is testament to the relentless and unwavering campaigning of Mark and Joanne King who've fought so hard for this moment."
The devices provide a high-energy electric shock to restore the heart's normal rhythm.
A recent study found that swift use of a defibrillator could lead to better survival rates, but that devices had been "disproportionately placed in more affluent areas with a lower residential population density".
Researchers recommended that locations with higher deprivation should be be given preference for public defibrillators.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said a survey would be sent to all state-funded schools to determine the number of devices required, which is estimated to be more than 20,000.
The government said it was committed to providing funds so that all premises have at least one kit on-site, adding that they would also help schools teach first aid as part of the curriculum.
There has been increased availability of defibrillators in the UK after the devices were used to treat footballers Fabrice Muamba and Christian Eriksen, who survived on-pitch cardiac arrests in 2012 and 2021 respectively.

- What can S.F. learn from other world-class cities? Residents share ideasClean streets, less homelessness, more bike lanes and far better public transit. Chronicle readers share what they saw on recent trips abroad and how it compared to San Francisco.By Heather Knight | https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Milwaukee-Team-Stax-17310238.php | 2022-07-17T08:09:09Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Milwaukee-Team-Stax-17310238.php | false |
Congress is considering the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), an annual bill that provides the budget and general framework for how our national security will be conducted for the next fiscal year. One urgent issue that the NDAA must address is the danger posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) “in many ways is the greatest, broadest, most comprehensive, long-term threat that we and our allies face.”
Indeed, the threat of China is wide-ranging and persistent. The Chinese government seeks to conduct cyber and industrial espionage, influence our policy and policymakers, and overtake U.S. military and economic capabilities to the detriment of the American people. Political leaders from both sides of the aisle agree China is intensifying these efforts and danger is growing.
The good news: the United States still has time to confront this challenge, and New Mexico is uniquely positioned to lead our technological and military push-back against China. That is why I am proud to have offered several amendments to the NDAA that will ensure a stronger country for generations to come.
During the COVID pandemic we learned a hard lesson that the U.S. does not have the necessary manufacturing base for vital supplies such as pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. We also learned the U.S. has been providing direct funding to the Chinese government for research, all while China conducts vast espionage operations against our own research institutions. I am offering amendments to the NDAA that would directly address these issues.
First, I have offered an amendment that requires the Food and Drug Administration to identify regulations that are making it difficult to produce lifesaving drugs and medical supplies domestically, so the United States can take back medical production from China.
Second, I offered a bipartisan amendment that forbids American tax dollars from being used to fund research projects with the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party. We cannot subsidize the technological advances of our adversaries, nor can we be supportive of their scientific advances at the expense of our own research institutions.
This is especially true considering China’s haphazard lab safety record. The China University of Petroleum in Qingdao reported 110 university lab accidents between 2000 and 2018, resulting in 102 injuries and 10 fatalities, although the real number of accidents is likely higher. U.S. Diplomats in Beijing visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in 2019 and sent warnings back to Washington about safety concerns in the lab – three years later, the COVID lab-leak theory has become more and more plausible. Continuing to send our taxpayer dollars to Chinese research institutions makes no sense.
These amendments will not only enhance our national security but also help New Mexico. Our state has abundant human capital to ensure our national defense. Our universities and national labs will benefit from research dollars going exclusively to American institutions rather than Chinese ones. Additionally, bringing home domestic manufacturing will both benefit research institutions and help more New Mexicans to find good-paying jobs.
One of my amendments is specifically aimed at New Mexico, ensuring that Holloman Air Force Base has the most up-to-date military testing capabilities. The amendment provides for the repair and modernization of Holloman’s High Speed Test Track (HHSTT), which allows our military to test weapon systems they need to protect our nation. The HHSTT is vital to our national security as well as our rural economy, being the premier rocket sled test track in the world. New Mexico should be at the forefront of our cutting-edge technology development to stand up to Communist China.
I will continue to advocate for policies that counter China’s aggression, bolster our national security and ensure New Mexico is well-equipped to fulfill its vital role in America’s national defense preparedness. | https://www.abqjournal.com/2516630/nm-can-lead-technologymilitary-pushback-on-china.html | 2022-07-17T08:12:57Z | https://www.abqjournal.com/2516630/nm-can-lead-technologymilitary-pushback-on-china.html | true |
A mob organised by alleged Islamists in Bangladesh’s Narail district has attacked a Hindu temple and also vandalized several houses belonging to the minority community, the police said on Saturday.
The violence in Digholia village took place on Friday evening over a young Hindu boy’s social media post.
A house belonging to a Hindu family was also set afire. The violence took place after the Friday prayers.
Police had fired warning shots to disperse the Islamists, said police inspector Haran Chandra Paul.
Paul said the Hindu boy allegedly posted something on Facebook that angered the Muslims.
Narail Superintendent of Police Prabir Kumar Roy said the law enforcers were working to keep the situation under control.
“We’re investigating the incident. Those responsible for the violence will face action. The situation is normal for now,” he said.
No one has been arrested so far.
Earlier in March, a mob had barged into a Hindu temple in capital Dhaka and desecrated idols, causing damage to the temple premises. The mob led by Haji Saifullah came inside the ISKCON temple in Dhaka’s Wari chanting ‘Nara-e -Takbeer’ and assaulting people present inside the temple. Reports had said the mob consisted of more than 200 miscreants.
Attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh have been a cause for concern. In 2021, another mob led by Muslim fundamentalists had vandalised Durga Puja venues and pandal in Nanuar Dighi lake in Comilla claiming that the Quran was desecrated in the pandal.
The Bangladesh government had made several hundred arrests in the following days but clashes led by fundamentalists on minorities led to tensions all over the nation.

Norwich British Paramotor champion has eye on world title
- Published
A paramotor pilot who only took up the activity three years ago has won the British Open and British National Paramotor Championships.
Daniel Jones, from Norwich, said he was "still in disbelief" at being crowned the winner in two categories.
It was all down to hard work as last year he came third, and since then he had worked on his "weaknesses" he said.
But the 28-year-old said the win had only left him determined to improve, adding "now I want the worlds".
In August 2019, the videographer said he was inspired to start his new hobby when he saw someone flying over his house.
"It was something different so I thought I would have a go."
He now loves it and it has become a healthy "addiction" he said.
"This year I've worked extra hard and focused on my weaknesses and I got first place."
In August 2021 he completed a week-long solo flight down the length of Great Britain to help raise awareness of Alzheimer's research.
"Next year I'm definitely going to push to defend my trophy," he said.
"I went to Brazil for the World Championships, which was amazing, to see the skill sets from everyone.
"I've got a long way to go, I've got a lot of practise to do, but one day I will do it, now I want the worlds."
What he loves the most is that you "can fly from anywhere with permission".
"You have the freedom to explore the countryside and it's a really beautiful way of seeing it, Norfolk is lovely," he said.
"The reason I keep doing it is because the moment you take off all your worries and troubles are gone, you are in the moment, with no distractions from social media. Being in the air is just so peaceful."
"I'm still in disbelief that I won but next year I want to still be on that podium" he added.

In March of 2017, as clashes with the FBI director and attorney general were erupting just weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump was asking out loud: "Where's my Roy Cohn?"
In December of 2020, with just weeks left in his term, Trump still had not had his question answered.
He was surrounded by lawyers. But none could play the role — or take the place — of the controversial counselor who decades earlier had changed his life.
Cohn was already a legend when Trump met him in 1973. Cohn had been in the news for decades, prosecuting nuclear espionage or searching for communists or defending celebrity clients. Among those he represented were Cardinal Francis Spellman, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and the New York crime bosses Carmine Galante and John Gotti.
Trump met him in the high-fashion Manhattan bar called Le Club and was soon relying on him for advice in dealing with lawsuits and legal orders and life in general. He drew up four versions of a prenuptial agreement prior to Trump's first marriage. (His first wife, Ivana Trump, died Thursday at 73.)
Cohn was known for telling clients to fight all charges, to counter-sue when sued and to never concede defeat. Trump has followed his formula for half a century, and that has come to matter a great deal to the nation.
While the former president has left office, he has not left the stage. He continues to trouble the political waters by denying he was defeated in 2020 and teasing a new candidacy for 2024. Moreover, he may yet face criminal charges for what he did in an attempt to stay in office after his defeat.
The committee closing in
This past week, the hearings of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the Capitol took us back to the day that attack was set in motion.
It was Dec. 18, 2020, four days after the Electoral College had met in the 50 state capitols and elected Joe Biden the 46th president, obeying the results of the election as conducted in each state.
So even though his defeat was by then official, Trump was still trying to find some way to remain in power.
His efforts to overturn the 2020 results had made no headway in state or federal courts, even where the judges were Trump's own appointees. Law firms that had signed on to fight election fraud had found none and signed off. Trump could not even find a willing warrior within his White House legal team.
Yet the frustrated incumbent still would not acknowledge reality. He went looking for someone else — outside lawyers, freelancers — who might be open to his claims of a stolen election or ready to take his case and suggest strategies.
That's what led to the Dec. 18 meeting in the White House when two such lawyers – Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell – and other supporters talked to Trump about declaring martial law, using the military to seize voting machines or making Powell a "special counsel" with subpoena powers.
When White House Counsel Pat Cipollone heard that meeting was underway, he and others from his office intervened and objected strenuously. They said the moves under discussion lacked legal basis or justification, especially given the utter lack of evidence of fraud. There was no "steal" to stop.
But the outside team had another view.
"I would categorically describe it as: 'You guys aren't tough enough,'" reported Giuliani in videotaped testimony to the Jan. 6 committee.
Yet the brawl of the barristers continued, according to testimony, for six hours. It began in the Oval Office and continued upstairs in the personal residence. At one point, the committee was told, Trump gestured to his White House team and asked: "Do you see what I have to put up with?"
Trump was still looking for someone who would fight by another set of rules. All-in, no holds barred, no holding back. Someone for whom the only consideration was winning for the client. Someone like Roy Cohn.
A prodigy and a legend
Cohn was a prodigy, the son of a New York judge well acquainted with street politics as well as those of City Hall. Young Roy grew up immersed in both worlds. He would later be known for saying "Don't tell me what the law is, tell me who the judge is."
After rocketing through college and Columbia Law School, he was appointed an assistant U.S. attorney in New York at 20 (not old enough to vote at the time). Four years later he prosecuted Julius and Emily Rosenberg, accused of helping the Soviet Union access nuclear weapons secrets. Both went to the electric chair.
In the early 1950s, Cohn would be lead counsel for Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy when the first-term Republican from Wisconsin was chairman of a Senate committee looking for communists in government. Cohn was at his side as McCarthy was dominating the news and being mentioned for the Republicans' national ticket in 1952.
Although McCarthy never actually unmasked any actual communists, he destroyed many careers and lives. Along the way his name became synonymous with an era and with the tactic of making baseless but damaging accusations that did real damage despite being untrue.
Cohn was still with him when the senator took on the Army in 1954, claiming the Pentagon was protecting "reds" and Soviet sympathizers. That led to televised hearings that backfired and cost McCarthy much of his support in the GOP. McCarthy was censured by his colleagues in a highly unusual vote on the Senate floor. He left the chamber, never spoke there again and died a few years later.
Cohn, however, went back to New York and flourished. He had established a reputation for being tough to the point of being ruthless. And in the world of high-stakes lawsuits and prosecutions, that reputation was gold. And it was earned many times over.
Along the way, he met a young real estate developer on the move who would, improbably, turn out to be his most famous client of all.
A fateful meeting in a bar
In her 2017 profile of Trump and Cohn's relationship in Vanity Fair, journalist Marie Brenner quoted Trump recalling his first meeting with Cohn at Le Club in 1973.
She quotes Trump saying he brought up a racial discrimination lawsuit the U.S. Justice Department had filed against the real estate company he and his father ran. He asked Cohn if they should comply or try to compromise. Cohn shot back: "Tell them to go to hell and fight the thing in court and let them prove you discriminated."
The Trumps hired Cohn and soon announced they were suing the Justice Department for $100 million for "defamation." They later dropped that suit and stipulated to measures designed to prevent future discrimination at their properties. Running for president, Trump would respond to questions about all that by emphasizing there had been "no admission of guilt."
As successful as he was over his 40-year career, Cohn eventually ran afoul of the law himself. He was investigated by federal authorities for perjury and witness tampering, among other charges. In 1986, a panel of the New York State Supreme Court's Appellate Division disbarred him for unethical and unprofessional conduct. A short while later, Cohn died of complications of AIDS (although he always insisted in public that he was suffering from liver cancer).
What no client of Cohn's was ever left to wonder was whether or not Cohn was their champion. This may have been what shocked Trump most about being president. He expected the lawyers around him to be working for him, to be his champions. He discovered they saw their loyalty as being to their jobs, their oaths of office or the Constitution. Sometimes they agreed with him, sometimes they pushed back.
In his first weeks in office, Trump met with the FBI Director James Comey and asked repeatedly for a pledge of personal loyalty. Comey demurred and was soon fired. Trump had appointed Jeff Sessions, the Alabama Republican who had been his first supporter in the Senate, to be his attorney general. So he was stunned and enraged when Sessions recused himself from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Nearly four years later, after countless confrontations with the law and his own obligations to uphold it, Trump was still looking for a way around it. After the six-hour donnybrook of Dec. 18 had ended, and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows had personally escorted Giuliani out after midnight, Trump did not even wait for dawn to go on Twitter.

Home Office spent £39,000 of taxpayers' cash on Domino's pizzas for hungry Channel migrants
- Officials spent over £38,000 in taxpayers' cash at a Domino's branch near Dover
- Staff at the now-closed Tug Haven holding centre used government credit cards
- The huge purchases of pizza with popular toppings were made over five months
Officials spent more than £38,000 in taxpayers' cash at a Domino's branch buying pizza for migrants last year, according to new figures.
Staff at the border at Dover's now-closed Tug Haven holding centre used government credit cards to pay for the food over just five months last year.
On one occasion last July, the Home Office's Clandestine Operational Response Team bought 200 in one go after stashing the pizza boxes into a van and taking them to migrants.
Staff at the Domino's branch have said they were 'rushed off their feet' each time migrants arrived, according to The Sun.
On one occasion last July, the Home Office's Clandestine Operational Response Team bought 200 in one go after stashing the pizza boxes into a van and taking them to migrants
According to reports, officials would buy 3,900 of the chain's £9.99 medium pizzas with various toppings including popular choices such as Texas BBQ or the Veggie Supreme.
Purchases ground to a halt in December last year when a catering firm took over.
Last year, around 28,526 people crossed the Channel in small boats. This year alone, more than 14,000 have made the dangerous journey so far.
Government figures have confirmed that 173 migrants arrived in four small boats on Thursday (July 14). It brings the total number of arrivals so far this year to 14,330.
On Wednesday, more than 100 migrants arrived, whilst 259 reached the UK in six boats on Tuesday.
Border Force officers also intercepted 442 migrants from 15 incidents on Monday - the highest number for nearly a month despite a Europe-wide crackdown on people smugglers and warnings migrants could be re-homed in Rwanda in central Africa.
The new crossings come after Irish premier Micheal Martin warned the UK Government's plan to send migrants to Rwanda may have resulted in an increase in international protection applicants in the Republic.

The Government has reportedly put fresh attempts to get the first deportation flight to the East African nation off the ground on hold until after the Conservative Party has elected a new prime minister over fears it could generate too much controversy during the leadership contest. The plane was grounded in June amid legal challenges.
Alp Mehmet, Chairman of MigrationWatch UK, an organisation which represents the immigration concerns of British people, told The Sun: 'The fact that the Border Force is having to resort to fast-food takeaways is symptomatic of the large numbers arriving.
'What it points to is the need to stem the flow of dinghy-migrants.'
A spokesperson for the Home Office said: 'The asylum system is broken and is costing the tax-payer an eye watering amount of money.
'Our New Plan for Immigration will fix this broken system by breaking the business model of criminal gangs to prevent dangerous and unnecessary crossings.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11021741/Home-Office-spent-39-000-taxpayers-cash-Dominos-pizzas-hungry-Channel-migrants.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-17T09:43:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11021741/Home-Office-spent-39-000-taxpayers-cash-Dominos-pizzas-hungry-Channel-migrants.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
The average life expectancy of a Nottingham resident has been for years going in the the "opposite direction". Concerns over what exactly is being done to close the gap between affluent and deprived areas as the city has some of the worst health inequalities in the entire country.
During a health scrutiny committee meeting on July 14 at Nottingham City Council's Loxley House it was revealed there was a greater than two-year life expectancy difference over those living in more affluent areas of the UK compared to those living in deprived wards of Nottingham. It is, as a result, "significantly lower" than the national average.
For men, the city is ranked 138 out of 150 local authority areas in the country for life expectancy, and 134 for women. For healthy life expectancy in women, which is the amount of time someone lives in good health over the course of their life, Nottingham is ranked 143 out of 150.

And a woman is only expected to live up to the age of 56 before experiencing serious health problems, the second-worst statistic in the entire country after Blackpool. "Our population are experiencing significantly worse outcomes than the rest of the East Midlands," says Lucy Hubber, the city's public health director.
"Even from birth, right from the moment a child is born they are experiencing different life outcomes." A new plan has therefore been developed to tackle these inequalities, but many remain sceptical due to Government policy, a suffering economy, low wage growth and the soaring cost of living and inflation.
Castle ward councillor Sam Webster said: "It is here in our documents from 2016 ,that this concept of equity is a new thing, but it is in our 2016 health and wellbeing plans to reduce health inequalities and targeting the neighbourhoods with the lowest levels of healthy life expectancy. We haven't done it.
"The evidence shows in terms of life expectancy and healthy life expectancy it is not even going in the right direction, we are going in the opposite direction. Economic factors, national and social issues, direction of policies in this country is not helping. I don't know if it gets through to the public that we are going the wrong way.
"It all really comes down to are we actually going to be able to target the areas that need that help and assistance? You said [Lucy Hubber] in your presentation we need slightly more work to do or slightly more different ways of working, but I'd argue what we actually need is much, much, much more."
Ms Hubber admitted many of the imbalances are perhaps generational and will take up to and over "25 years" to change, but argued the city now has fully-funded plans to bridge the gap. One of these includes health and wellbeing hubs which pop-up in various deprived wards, including Bulwell, to educate and issue advice on health.
Adele Williams, former portfolio holder for health and new deputy leader of the council who represents Sherwood, added: "It is absolutely the case that the global health life expectancy moves very, very slowly, but there are things like diagnosis of cancer in A&E that, avoiding that situation, can make an individual life a lot longer and in better health.
"There are some areas in which I would want to see some speedy changes. Of course, yes there has been an impact of the pandemic on health services, but it didn't start with that did it? Anyone who has been in contact with health [services] compared with three years ago compared to what it was like 10 years ago, is an entirely different experience. We are as a city getting the right things on the agenda."
Meadows councillor Mike Edwards reflected on historical methods which helped close the gap in health inequalities between affluent and deprived areas of Nottingham. He says the life expectancy was boosted in St Ann's, for example, by 10 years between 1997 and 2010 and emphasised "there are things we can do".
"We need some radical thinking, not the same old, same old, and I'm saying it is the same old because I have seen it all before," he added.
Councillor Dave Trimble, for Lenton and Wollaton East, however argued he was "very sceptical" about the plans. Through the new plans the city will attempt to close this divide before 2025.

Dear Amy: I have recently experienced much tragedy in my life. Our family is reeling.
I had some very close family move away and have been mourning that; I very suddenly lost my uncle; my sister lost her baby at six weeks. I am walking an intense line between mourning and living my life.
I am young and tempted to just stay home and take care of my parents in their heartache, yet I am going crazy not going out and living my life, even if it’s just sitting in a coffee shop for a few hours.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m deeply hurting, too.
Do you have any advice for elegantly walking the line between grieving and living one’s life?
– Tightropes
Dear Tightropes: Little about grieving is “elegant.” In my experience, grieving involves ugly-crying in the supermarket, rages that come out of nowhere, and always losing my keys.
No two people should be expected to grieve alike.
If you accept your role in the family as being younger and perhaps a little more resilient right now than other family members, then yes – if you also allow yourself some healing (or even simply normal) experiences, you might actually be of greater service to them, while also renewing your own strength.
Furthermore, I think it might be good for your sister, especially (if she is local), if you bring her a cup of coffee from the coffee shop, ask her to take a walk with you, and simply let her be however she needs to be in that moment.
Sometimes people who are grieving need to express their grief. Sometimes they need a few moments of “normal.”
Understand also that ultimately your duty is to take good care of yourself.
Got a question for Amy? Enter it here and we’ll send it to her.
Dear Amy: I am a woman in my early 40s. I have not had children for a number of reasons related to fertility, medical, personal and financial circumstances. Now, as I approach the end of my childbearing years, I grieve that I do not have children and probably never will. But I am trying to move on and find other meaning in my life.
A friend from college who lives in another state often sends me pictures of her child. This is a child I only met once very briefly – years ago.
This friend is not that close, and she doesn’t ask how I’m doing when she texts. Her text messages are an unwelcome reminder that I don’t have children.
How do I tell her to stop sending me pictures, without going into details about the medical/fertility/personal issues I’m dealing with?
Honestly the reasons are none of her business and I don’t feel like getting that detailed with her over text messages.
Do you have a suggestion?
– Childfree
Dear Childfree: I’m not sure you can achieve what you want without offering an explanation of some kind. Keep in mind that a brief explanation (“I’ve dealt with fertility challenges and it upsets me right now to see photos of your child…”) would probably be effective.
Otherwise, you might try: “I’m wondering if you could do me a favor and not continue to text me photos of your child. It’s just awkward for me since I don’t know her.”
This might bring on a response reflecting hurt feelings. Your college friend might feel offended.
There is some likelihood that she would stop texting you altogether, which might actually be your goal. She doesn’t sound at all interested in you.
You also might want to “mute” text messages from this person, to avoid the trigger.

Dear Amy: I’m responding to the question from “Mama’s Baby, Daddy’s Maybe,” who was wrestling with telling her adult daughter that the man who raised her wasn’t her biological father.
I am a 40-year-old man who recently found out through ancestry services that I was conceived with the help of a sperm donor. I found this a completely shocking and disorienting experience.
After a few months of soul searching, I came to love and appreciate my real dad – the man who bought me Christmas presents and taught me how to ride a bike – even more!
I am very grateful that my parents were still alive to process this with me.
I hope “Mama’s Baby” understands that the shock of this discovery will be much harder if their child finds this out when Mom is no longer around to provide any perspective or backstory.
– Ishmael
Dear Ishmael: Being confronted with this knowledge can be quite destabilizing. Thank you for offering your wise perspective.

Which Anker Bluetooth speakers are best?
There are plenty of reasons to use an Anker Bluetooth speaker rather than headphones to play music. Perhaps you want to add music to add to the ambience while you entertain guests. Maybe you just don’t want wires getting in your way as you work around the house. Regardless of the reason, there are many situations where using headphones is less than ideal. Luckily, there are plenty of excellent Anker Bluetooth speaker options, like the Anker Soundcore Motion+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker. This souped-up Anker Bluetooth speaker has best-in-class audio systems.
What to know before you buy an Anker Bluetooth speaker
Sound quality
Anker Bluetooth speakers are available in many forms and generations of model which can greatly affect the quality of the sound. Additionally, many Anker Bluetooth speakers can have different levels of sound quality despite costing nearly the same. When trying to ascertain the level of sound quality a speaker has, check the user reviews. You can also check to see how many speakers and woofers it has. The more of these things the speaker has, the better the sound quality will be.
Intended location
Nearly all Anker Bluetooth speakers are designed to be portable without sacrificing sound quality. However, that doesn’t mean they’re all designed to be taken anywhere. Lower-end speakers are meant to remain indoors and in small rooms. The higher-end Anker Bluetooth speakers are designed for both indoor and outdoor use . Their speakers are not only designed to pump out better audio, but they also have high levels of elemental resistance.
What to look for in a quality Anker Bluetooth speaker
Outdoor protection
Some Anker Bluetooth speakers feature differing amounts of waterproofing and dustproofing designed so that the speaker can be safely left in the elements as long as you please. The higher you go up the qualitative product chain, the more elemental protection you’re going to find. Some Anker Bluetooth speakers can even somewhat resist the effects of snow.
Connectivity
Some Anker Bluetooth speakers have stronger connections, which manifest in maximum range. The lowest-end Anker Bluetooth speakers can have ranges as short as 30 feet while the high-end Anker Bluetooth speakers usually double that or stretch as close to 100 feet as possible.
Many Anker Bluetooth speakers also include the option to connect a device to the speaker using an auxiliary cord. This is useful if you’re having issues with your Bluetooth connectivity, rapidly swapping sources or you’re trying to connect a device that doesn’t have Bluetooth.
How much you can expect to spend on an Anker Bluetooth speaker
Anker Bluetooth speakers are available in a wide range of prices that can match any budget without sacrificing quality. They can start as low as $25 while most top out around $50. The best Anker Bluetooth speakers usually cost around $100-$125.
Anker Bluetooth speaker FAQ
Why is my Anker Bluetooth speaker broadcasting a staticky sound?
A. There can be a few issues causing staticky sound to broadcast from your Anker Bluetooth speaker. The two most common causes for staticky sound are either your source signal has gotten too far away from the Anker Bluetooth speaker or your Anker Bluetooth speaker is too low on battery. Occasionally a charging Anker Bluetooth speaker can broadcast staticky sound as well.
Why won’t my smartphone connect to my Anker Bluetooth speaker?
A. Again, there can be a few issues causing the connection failure. First, make sure the Bluetooth setting is switched on on your smartphone and your Anker Bluetooth speaker has a good charge level. Then, disconnect any currently active Bluetooth pairings before trying to connect to the Anker Bluetooth speaker. If this doesn’t solve it, turn off both the Anker Bluetooth speaker and your smartphone for a minute or two before turning them back on and trying again.

Are Movado or Michael Kors smartwatches better?
If you are looking for a way to track your fitness levels, improve your fashion or simply expand the capabilities of your smartphone, smartwatches are a great way to do so. Smartwatches are sold by some fashion and technology companies, including Movado and Michael Kors. Both companies offer high-quality devices in many unique styles to fit your needs and tastes.
Movado smartwatches come in unique designs and are built for fashion, while Michael Kors watches have more products and more modern options.
Movado smartwatch
Movado has two generations of smartwatches, though the line has recently been discontinued. The company has several fashionable choices and designs built for any occasion.
Movado smartwatch pros
The most significant advantage that Movado has is the style options. The company primarily focuses on traditional watches, so all smart products come with unique designs that fit formal attire. So, if you buy a Movado watch, you’ll be able to wear it with any style of outfit. Movado smartwatches are also designed with different strap materials, including leather, metal and fabric.
While not quite up to the same level of technological advancement as many other companies, Movado does run on Wear OS by Google. The product can measure basic health data, including activity levels and heart rate. These fitness metrics can also be connected to different health apps on a smartphone to take full advantage.
Additionally, you can connect the device to your smartphone to receive all basic notifications to the smartwatch, including texts, phone calls, emails and social media. Movado also works directly with several Google apps to stream music, pay with a tap of the screen and speak with the Google voice assistant.
Movado smartwatch cons
The biggest disadvantage with a Movado device is that the company discontinued its line of smartwatches. As a result, the company does not provide any software updates or new products. This also means that whatever product you buy from the company will be used or refurbished. So, if you are looking for a brand new smartwatch, Movado will not be the right company for you.
Additionally, the currently available models can be more expensive than many of its competitors. Movado could be less accessible than other brands if you are on a tight budget.
Movado also lacks some of the features that other companies can provide. While the smartwatches offer basic data and notifications, they lack more advanced fitness trackers such as programmed workouts or sleep tracking.
Best Movado smartwatch
The only available Movado smartwatch currently sold on Amazon is the Movado Connect Digital Smart Module. This smartwatch comes in stainless steel and has a 2-year warranty on the product.
Michael Kors smartwatch
Michael Kors is a well-known fashion brand that has created its own line of smartwatches in several designs and with the latest technology.
Michael Kors smartwatch pros
Michael Kors comes in many styles designed for both men and women. The company sells watches with several band materials and colors, including rose gold stainless steel, leather, fabric and much more. Regardless of your taste, you will be able to find a watch that fits your style.
Michael Kors has also designed its products to have a wider selection of fitness and health tracking features. These features include measuring blood oxygen levels and tracking sleep quality. You can also set specific exercise and activity goals that the watch will track.
The company runs all of its products on Wear OS by Google and comes with a similar added features to Movado. You will be able to connect the smartwatch to both Android and iOS devices and use several different Google apps to stream music, pay for your products from your wrist and receive all basic notifications you need. The smartwatch can connect directly to the Spotify app and has an internal speaker built in.
Furthermore, Michael Kors smartwatches come at affordable prices, with many of the devices costing less than $200. If you are on a tighter budget, products from Michael Kors will be more affordable than Movado models.
Michael Kors smartwatch cons
The biggest downside for Michael Kors smartwatches is battery life. Both Movado and Michael Kors devices only have about one day of battery life, which may not be enough for more active users. This also poses a problem for the sleep tracking features, meaning you may have to take off the watch to charge before going to bed.
Michaels Kors also has a consistent design line that mainly focuses on brighter colors and stainless steel designs. So, while the company offers a lot of different designs, some darker colors and styles are not available, which may keep you away from buying them.
Some users also report that the cardiogram feature is inconsistent, which may be a significant issue if you prioritize health features.
Best Michael Kors smartwatches
A very popular smartwatch from Michael Kors is the Michael Kors Gen 6 Touchscreen Smartwatch. This smartwatch has several unique features, including an enhanced Bluetooth range four times wider than its predecessor.
Another popular model from the company is the Michael Kors Women’s MKGO Gen 5E 43mm Touchscreen Smartwatch. This device comes with an extended battery mode that enables you to continue using it and saves power by reducing certain functions.
Should you get a Movado or Michael Kors smartwatch?
Both Movado and Micheal Kors offer quality smartwatches designed with fashion being a major priority. Movado sells watches in many different designs and is more than capable of handling all basic functions of a smartwatch. Michaels Kors smartwatches are very similar; however, many of the devices have higher quality fitness trackers.
The bottom line is that Michael Kors watches have a more modern line of devices, more affordable prices and better health data trackers. As a result, the company has better smartwatch products for you.

The Harbourside is the perfect place to eat if you want to enjoy scenic views. And, all the better when it's al fresco during a heatwave.
It can be hard to pin down the best place to go, especially when it's particularly swamped, but Wapping Wharf has made the decision a little easier. The community of shipping containers offers food to take away - or, select tables to enjoy the food and the views.
And, one of those is Cargo Cantina. The Mexican restaurant is said to be inspired by traditional cantinas of Mexico, which were once forbidden to women, children and men in police or military uniform.

Now, they bring the vibe to Bristol for all to enjoy, as well as an array of food too. The tucked-away terrace is on the second floor of the wharf, offering stellar views across the harbour and the perfect breeze on a sunny day. Honestly, the location is unmatched.
The staff are friendly and it offers a chill vibe, for a relaxed meal. The menu offers a range of small plates, including nachos, as well as tacos and sides.
The drinks menu offers lots of options too, from margaritas to beers, wines and soft drinks. The server told us the specials they had that day, which were not on the menu.
It didn't take long to decide, as we were only stopping for a light bite and so we ordered one of the specials the barbacoa, which was essentially barbecue tacos (£8.50); the classic nachos (£9.50), the papas al horno (£2.90) - which were a potato side - and the alcoholic gooseberry lemonade (£8.10).
The food didn't take long to come and was absolutely beautifully presented. The potatoes were delicious, generously coated with cheese, making the perfect side.
The nachos were just as good - though they could have done with more sour cream (it is available to buy as a side). They came topped with salsa, beans, guacamole and jalapenos and were more than enough for three people to share.
Sadly, the barbecue chicken tacos were a little disappointing. The portion size was small and the barbecue flavour was lacking slightly. The hint of spice was well added though, and did well not to be too overpowering.
I would be open to trying the other taco options. The small plates are ideal for the location and make Cargo Cantina a great place to spend a few hours enjoying the sun and grazing with friends.
The lemonade was the perfect tonic for a warm day, it was ideally refreshing - though I do wish at £8.10 it was bigger. I would certainly get through a few of them over dinner!
Overall, like many of its Wapping Wharf neighbours, Cargo Cantina provides the perfect location to slow down and take in the cities views and assures that you'll leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face.

'The most overrated player I have ever seen': Fans mock Chelsea defender Reece James after his 'horrific' own goal in pre-season friendly win over Club America in which he doesn't look before passing the ball past a helpless Marcus Bettinelli
- Football supporters poked fun at Reece James online after a comical own goal
- The Chelsea defender, 22, passed the ball into his own net against Club America
- Thomas Tuchel's Blues recovered from the setback to beat the Mexican side 2-1
- Timo Werner and Mason Mount scored for the Premier League side on Sunday
- MATCH REPORT: Chelsea win their opening friendly against Club America
Reece James has been derided by fans online after a hilarious own goal for Chelsea in a pre-season friendly.
Goals from Timo Werner and Mason Mount bookended the defender's mistake as Thomas Tuchel's side beat Club America 2-1 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning.
But football supporters did not forget James' gaffe - and quickly took to Twitter to mock the right-back.
Fans have mocked Reece James for a hilarious own goal in a pre-season friendly on Sunday
Thomas Tuchel's Blues beat Club America 2-1 despite the hilarious own goal from James, 22
The right-back misplaced a backpass to 'keeper Marcus Bettinelli and watched the ball go in
A Twitter user posted the clip of the bizarre and comical own goal with the caption: 'Reece James Own Goal vs Club America wtf is this.'
The video shows Jorginho, Cesar Azpilicueta and Mount combining to dispossess an attacker from the Mexican side, before Mount pokes it to his England team-mate, who is standing roughly on the corner of the penalty area.
Noticing an opponent was poised to press third-choice goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, the 22-year-old then hit a powerful backpass towards goal - but past the stricken Bettinelli and into an empty net.
One fan said: 'Reece James is a fraud,' followed by two laughing emojis.
Another added: 'Nobody is talking about Reece James own goal earlier today. The guy was awful today. I can't wait for the new season.'
And football supporters quickly took to social media to mock the 22-year-old for the mistake
A third posted: 'My god that Reece James OG is horrific. what a finish for mount tho.'
One tweeted: 'Chelsea actually conceded an own goal by Reece James when they tried to play from the back like ten Hag's United. Yours is Haram football, stick to it.'
A fifth said: 'The most overrated player I have ever seen Reece James Trent would've crossed the ball to Diaz with his left.'
Another continued: 'Reece James is not a good right back', while one sarcastically posted: 'Tbh Reece James got some surreal passing ability tho. Class!'.
But another placed the blame on Bettinelli for the error, saying: 'And that's not even Reece James. The goalkeeper was a total moron.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11021733/Fans-mock-Chelsea-defender-Reece-James-horrific-goal-pre-season-friendly-v-Club-America.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-17T09:59:21Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11021733/Fans-mock-Chelsea-defender-Reece-James-horrific-goal-pre-season-friendly-v-Club-America.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
WASHINGTON -- Arkansas Republicans running for reelection to Congress are dominating their Democratic opponents on the fundraising front months ahead of the November general election, according to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.
The campaign for U.S. Sen. John Boozman, who is running for a third term in the Senate, brought in $787,428 from May 5 through the end of June, according to an FEC report filed Friday.
His campaign spent $1,013,100 during that time period and reported cash on hand of $1,355,104 as of the end of June.
"We're delighted with the continued support and momentum in this campaign," Boozman's campaign said in a statement Saturday.
Boozman, a Rogers Republican, coasted to victory in the Senate Republican primary in May, fending off challengers from the right.
Real estate agent Natalie James of Little Rock is the Democratic candidate in the Senate race. A July quarterly report from James' campaign had yet to be posted to the FEC website as of Saturday morning. The FEC filing deadline for the report was Friday.
Additionally, the FEC has issued a letter to the treasurer of James' campaign committee, warning that the failure to "timely file" a pre-primary report could lead to an audit or civil money penalties. The letter was dated in May.
FEC website did not show a pre-primary report from James' campaign committee on file as of Saturday morning.
"The campaign recognizes the importance of filing financial reports and is working diligently to file its Q2 Report as well as the 12-Day Pre-Primary Report," the James campaign said in a statement Saturday.
Her campaign's latest filing showed her campaign with a cash on hand of $14,191 at the end of March. The campaign reported bringing in $7,419 and spending $612 in the first three months of the year.
Commission filings can give insight into the financial operations of a congressional campaign and provide specifics on who is funding a candidate's campaign, along with how the campaign is spending money.
In the Senate race, Kenneth Cates of Harrison is listed as a Libertarian party candidate.
A statement of candidacy for Cates was not listed on the FEC website Saturday morning, and efforts to reach Cates for comment were not successful.
In the race for Arkansas' 2nd Congressional District, the campaign committee for Republican U.S. Rep. French Hill of Little Rock listed receipts at $469,905 from May 5 through the end of June. The campaign spent $721,134 during that period and reported having $1,336,894 in cash on hand as of June 30.
"The last FEC filing demonstrates the continued momentum of the campaign, as well as the strong support for the job that Congressman Hill is doing to represent central Arkansans and their values in Congress," Hill's campaign said in a statement.
As of Saturday morning, the FEC website did not have campaign finance figures covering June and part of May for Democratic candidate Quintessa Hathaway of Sherwood.
Emails requesting comment from Hathaway were not immediately returned Saturday.
Libertarian Michael White of Little Rock is also a candidate for the 2nd Congressional District.
A statement of candidacy for White was not listed on the FEC website Saturday morning. White, in a statement, said his campaign is not required to file a statement of candidacy at this time.
"My campaign has yet to raise or spend the $5,000.00 aggregate limit for campaign contributions or expenditures," he said in the statement.
U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, a Republican from Rogers who is running for reelection in the 3rd Congressional District, listed receipts of $168,962 and expenditures of $88,402 from May 5 through the end of June for his campaign committee. That left his campaign with $1,864,035.
His Democratic opponent, Lauren Mallett-Hays of Farmington, reported bringing in $1,316 and spending of $1,113 during that same period. That left her campaign with cash on hand of $947 as of June 30.
Libertarian Michael J. Kalagias of Rogers is also a candidate for the congressional seat. As of Saturday morning, a statement of candidacy for Kalagias was not posted on the FEC website. Efforts to reach him for comment were not successful.
U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford of Jonesboro, a Republican, is running for reelection in the state's 1st Congressional District.
His campaign committee reported a cash-on-hand total of $537,919 at the end of last month. The campaign reported receipts of $121,185 and expenditures of $126,644 from May 5 through June 30.
For that same time period, Democratic state Rep. Monte Hodges of Blytheville, who is challenging Crawford for the seat, reported raising $2,390 and spending $9,134, leaving his campaign with $6,561 at the end of June.

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine -- Russian forces fired missiles and shells at cities and towns across Ukraine on Saturday after Russia's military announced it was stepping up its onslaught against its neighbor. Ukraine reported at least 17 more civilians killed.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu gave "instructions to further intensify the actions of units in all operational areas, in order to exclude the possibility of the Kyiv regime launching massive rocket and artillery strikes on civilian infrastructure and residents of settlements in the Donbas and other regions," his office said Saturday.
Russia's military campaign has been focusing on the eastern Donbas, but the new attacks hit areas in the north and south as well. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, has seen especially severe bombardments in recent days, with Ukrainian officials and local commanders voicing fears that a second full-scale Russian assault on the northern city may be looming.
At the same time, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukrainians not to fall for Russia's attempts to scare them with warnings of horrendous missile attacks to come, which he said were aimed at dividing Ukrainian society.
"Sometimes, information weapons can do more than regular weapons," he said in his nightly video address to the nation.
"It's clear that no Russian missiles or artillery will be able to break our unity or lead us away from our path" toward a democratic, independent Ukraine," he said. "And it is also clear that Ukrainian unity cannot be broken by lies or intimidation, fakes or conspiracy theories."
In the Kharkiv region, at least three civilians were killed and three more were injured Saturday in a pre-dawn Russian strike on the city of Chuhuiv, which is only 75 miles from the Russian border, the police said.
Serhiy Bolvinov, deputy head of the Kharkiv region's police force, said four missiles presumably fired from the Russian city of Belgorod hit an apartment building, a school and administrative buildings about 3:30 a.m. Writing on Facebook, he said the three bodies were found under the rubble.
Lyudmila Krekshina, who lives in the apartment building that was hit, said a husband and wife were killed, and also an elderly man who lived on the ground floor.
Another resident said she was lucky to have survived.
"I was going to run and hide in the bathroom. I didn't make it and that's what saved me," said Valentina Bushuyeva. Pointing up at her destroyed apartment, she said: "There's the bathroom -- explosion. Kitchen -- half a room. And I survived because I stayed put."
In the neighboring Sumy region, one civilian was killed and at least seven were injured after Russians opened mortar and artillery fire on three towns and villages not far from the Russian border, regional governor Dmytro Zhyvytsky said Saturday.
In the embattled eastern Donetsk region, seven civilians were killed and 14 wounded in the last 24 hours in Russian attacks on cities, its governor said Saturday.
Later in the day, on the outskirts of Pokrovsk, a city in the Donetsk region, a woman said a neighbor was killed by a rocket attack Saturday afternoon. Tetiana Pashko said she herself suffered a cut on her leg and one of her family's dogs was killed.
She said her 35-year-old neighbor, who was killed in her front yard, had evacuated earlier this year as authorities had requested but had returned home after being unable to support herself. Several homes on the quiet residential street were damaged, with doors and roofs ripped away.
"We can rebuild but we can't bring her back," said another neighbor, Olha Rusanova.
In the neighboring Luhansk region, however, Ukrainian troops repelled a Russian overnight assault on a strategic eastern highway, said Gov. Serhiy Haidai, adding that Russia had been attempting to capture the main road between the cities of Lysychansk and Bakhmut for more than two months.
The Luhansk and Donetsk regions make up the Donbas, an eastern industrial region that used to power Ukraine's economy and has mostly been taken over by Russian and separatist forces.
SOUTHERN ATTACKS RENEWED
In southern Ukraine, two people were wounded by Russian shelling in the town of Bashtanka, northeast of the Black Sea city of Mykolaiv, according the regional governor, Vitaliy Kim. He said Mykolaiv itself came under renewed Russian fire before dawn Saturday.
On Friday, he posted videos of what he said was a Russian missile attack on the city's two largest universities and denounced Russia as "a terrorist state."
In Odesa, a key port city on the Black Sea, a Russian missile hit a warehouse, engulfing it in flames and sending up a plume of black smoke, but no injuries were reported, local officials said.
Two people were killed and a woman was hospitalized after a Russian rocket strike on the eastern riverside city of Nikopol, emergency services said. Dnipropetrovsk Gov. Valentyn Reznichenko said a five-story apartment block, a school and a vocational school building were damaged.
On Friday, cruise missiles fired by Russian bombers struck Dnipro, a major city in southeastern Ukraine on the Dnieper River, killing at least three people and wounding 16, Ukrainian officials said. On Saturday, Russian defense officials claimed that strike had destroyed "workshops producing components for, and repairing, Tochka-U ballistic missiles, as well as multiple rocket launchers."
The Ukrainian air force said Russian forces fired six more cruise missiles Saturday from strategic bombers in the Caspian Sea, and two hit a farm in the Cherkasy region along the Dnieper River.
No one was hurt, but agricultural equipment was destroyed and some cattle were killed, regional Gov. Ihor Taburets said. The Ukrainian air force said the other four missiles were intercepted.
The deadliest Russian attack last week came Thursday, when a Russian missile strike killed at least 24 people -- including three children -- and wounded more than 200 in Vinnytsia, a city southwest of Kyiv, far from the front lines. Three of those missing after the attack were found alive in the rubble Saturday and one person remained missing, the emergency service said.
Russia claimed the Kalibr cruise missiles hit a "military facility" that was hosting a meeting between Ukrainian air force command and foreign weapons suppliers. Ukrainian authorities insisted the site, a concert hall, had nothing to do with the military.
Ukraine's Interior Ministry says Russian forces have conducted more than 17,000 strikes on civilian targets during the war, killing thousands of fighters and civilians and driving millions from their homes.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has also rippled through the world economy, hiking energy and food prices and crimping exports of key Ukrainian and Russian products such as grain, fuel and fertilizer.
CONTESTED IRANIAN DRONES
The White House said it gathered intelligence that Russian officials recently visited an airfield in Iran twice to examine drones they are considering acquiring for the Kremlin's war in Ukraine.
The Iranian military showcased the drones on June 8 and July 5 at Kashan airfield, which suggested "ongoing Russian interest" in procuring the equipment, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement Saturday. The White House released a satellite image it said showed "attack-capable" unmanned aerial vehicles in flight while a Russian delegation transport plane was at the airfield.
"To our knowledge, this is the first time a Russian delegation has visited this airfield for such a showcase," Sullivan said after CNN first reported the U.S. assessment.
Last week, the Biden administration said Iran was preparing to supply Russia with "up to several hundred" drones, including those capable of firing missiles. Such a delivery could boost Moscow's bid to destroy Western-supplied weapons that are helping Kyiv fend off Russian advances.
Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian denied the U.S. allegation on Friday, calling it "baseless" in a call with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba, according to Iran's official news agency IRNA. He said Tehran objects to "any action that leads to escalation of conflicts."
Without referring to the drone allegation, Kuleba said he had told the Iranian foreign minister that "Russia must not get any military aid from anyone" and that he had received assurances that Tehran would not buy looted Ukrainian grain from Moscow.
The two spoke on the phone ahead of a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Iran set for this week, when he will attend a meeting with the leaders of Iran and Turkey. IRNA reported Tuesday that Putin and the Iranian president would discuss deepening economic ties.
Although Russia has an extensive arsenal of drones, Iranian aircraft could help offset losses suffered during almost five months of war.
The Biden administration said the drones showcased to Russian officials included the Shahed-129, an Iranian model capable of attack and surveillance that resembles the U.S.-made Predator unmanned aerial vehicle deployed for overseas operations.
Sullivan told reporters this week that it was unclear whether any unmanned aerial vehicles had already arrived in Russia and the administration believes Iran would also provide training on using the weapons.

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Anthrax has been confirmed in dozens of cattle found dead in a nature park southeast of the Croatian capital of Zagreb, authorities said Saturday.
Authorities conducted tests on the animal carcasses after reports that the cattle had developed neurological symptoms, the Ministry of Agriculture said. It said all measures were being taken to contain the outbreak in Lonjsko Polje, a flood plain by the Sava River known for its unique environment.
The state HRT television reported that four people also have been hospitalized with skin infections. The report said 107 cattle have died in the past two weeks.
“We can say that the case is under complete control and there is no room for panic,” said local public health official Inoslav Brkić,
Spores of anthrax can lie dormant in the ground until they are ingested by animals or activated when the soil is disturbed by heavy rain, flooding or drought. Outbreaks can kill a large number of animals in a short time. Infected livestock often are found dead with no illness detected.
Anthrax rarely spreads to humans and almost never is transmitted from person to person. About 95% of all human cases of anthrax result from skin contact with infected animals. It can be treated with antibiotics but can be fatal if left untreated. | https://www.localsyr.com/health/croatia-anthrax-found-in-dead-cattle-in-nature-park/ | 2022-07-17T10:32:21Z | https://www.localsyr.com/health/croatia-anthrax-found-in-dead-cattle-in-nature-park/ | false |

Megan Wynne: Wales midfielder joins Southampton
Last updated on .From the section Women's Football
Wales midfielder Megan Wynne has joined Southampton FC Women ahead of the 2022-23 season.
The 29-year-old left Southampton's Women's Championship rivals Charlton Athletic at the end of 2021-22.
The former Watford player now joins Marieanne Spacey-Cale's side
"I came down a few weeks ago and went for a walk with Marieanne around the whole of the training ground," said Wynne.
"Just seeing the facilities and the ambitions of the club and where they've grown from, and after having a few conversations, I knew it was the place for me." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62197660 | 2022-07-17T10:54:32Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62197660 | true |
We must vote in such large numbers that the Democrats will not be able to steal the 2022 election. We need to out every corrupt practice by the Democrats in a loud voice — protest at the Registrar’s office and the office of the Secretary of State in our Capitol. We need to sue those responsible, personally. We need to file felony complaints against those who want to steal our elections. Stay within the law—but be clear—we demand honest elections.
But it’s not enough to vote as individuals. We must encourage others to come to the polls with us. We will never fix liberal brainwashing — those people are lost. But there are millions of conservatives who didn’t bother to vote in 2020 and won’t vote in 2022. “It’s inconvenient,” or “my vote won’t make a difference,” “all politicians are corrupt,” or “they’ll just cheat again.”
Make a decision to talk to every conservative relative, friend, and neighbor you know and ask if they are going to vote in November. If they say “no,” ask them why.
For any response they give, simply ask the magic question: “do you like the direction our country is heading?” When they say “no,” reply with this: “your only option is to vote and reach out to every conservative you know and ask the same question.”

At least in our county, the most effective political gambit is the “needles and feces” strategy. Say you’re going to make the world “safe and clean”– meaning free of the homeless/visibly poor – and you’re more than halfway home at the ballot box. In other words, when it comes to homelessness, avoid those homely truths about a housing crisis. Instead, tell people there’s a simple fix, like putting more of the poor in the big house. Then settle into your home on the council or board of supervisors.
This brings us to the last (7/5) Chico City Council meeting: In the remaining few hours in which a measure can be placed on the ballot, we suddenly have a tangled “quality of life” ordinance sponsored by a city councilor who not only speaks with one of the most strident anti-homeless voices, but is also up for reelection this November. If you live in her district, you’ll likely see her name and her ordinance on the same ballot.
Never mind that this ordinance, in whatever form it eventually takes, will do nothing about the thorny structural problems at the root of homelessness. And never mind that it won’t lead to any more incarceration (we’re already running the authoritarian-enforcement engine at maximum RPMs … well, given we still have a Bill of Rights). Just focus on the fairytale of a nice clean world, made so by hounding city staff into more whack-a-mole tent stomping – a fine bedtime story for an electorate already half-asleep.

PARIS (AP) — Firefighters struggled on Sunday to contain wildfires raging out of control in France and Spain as Europe wilts under an unusually extreme heat wave that authorities link to a rise in excess mortality.
Two huge blazes that have been consuming pine forests for six days just south of the city of Bordeaux in southwest France have forced the evacuation of some 14,000 people, including many who were set to spend their vacation at campsites.
In Spain, firefighters supported by the armed forces' emergency brigades are trying to stamp out over 30 fires consuming forests spread across the country. Spain’s National Defense Department said that “the majority” of its fire-fighting aircraft have been deployed. Many areas are rugged, hilly terrain that makes it difficult for ground crews to access.
So far, there have been no fire-related deaths in France or Spain. In Portugal, a pilot of a firefighting plane died when his aircraft crashed on Friday.
But as temperatures remain unusually high, heat-related deaths have soared.
In Spain the second heat wave of the summer has kept highs above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in many areas. According to Spain’s Carlos III Institute, which records temperature-related fatalities daily, 237 deaths were attributed to high temperatures from July 10-14. That was compared with 25 temperature-related deaths the previous five days.
In France, the fire in La Teste-de-Buch near the Atlantic coast has forced 10,000 people to flee. The Gironde regional government said on Sunday that “the situation remains unfavorable” due to gusting winds that, combined with hot and dry conditions, have fanned more flare-ups overnight.
A second fire near the town of Landiras, south of a valley of Bordeaux vineyards, has forced authorities to evacuate 4,100 people this week, including some 1,900 on Saturday. Authorities said that one flank has been brought under control by the dumping of white sand along a two-kilometer (1.2-mile) stretch. Another flank, however, remains unchecked.
Some of the most worrisome blazes in Spain are concentrated in the western regions of Extremadura and Castilla y León. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced a joint command that will take over coordinating the efforts to battle the fires that are active in the adjoining regions.
Firefighters have been unable to stop the advance of a fire that broke out near the city of Cáceres that is threatening the Monfragüe National Park and has kept 200 people from returning to their homes.
Another fire in southern Spain near the city of Malaga has forced the evacuation of a further 2,500 people. There are more fires near the central city of Ávila, in northwest Galicia, among other areas.
Hungary, Croatia and the Greek island of Crete have also fought wildfires this week, as have Morocco and California.
The scorching temperatures have reached as far north as Britain, where its weather agency has issued its first-ever “red warning” of extreme heat for Monday and Tuesday, when temperatures in southern England may reach 40 C (104 F) for the first time.
That will still be relatively bearable compared with the 47 C (117 F) recorded in Portugal’s northern town of Pinhao on Wednesday, establishing a new national record.

PARIS (AP) — Pressure is mounting on a French government minister to quit over comments stigmatizing homosexuality and LGBTQ people, in the latest challenge to President Emmanuel Macron’s leadership.
Caroline Cayeux’s remarks have hurt and angered many – including her colleagues — and prompted broader discussion around persistent discriminatory attitudes by people in power.
More than 100 prominent figures published an appeal Sunday in the newspaper Journal du dimanche questioning why she’s still in government. Signatories included parliament members, senior officials, an Olympic medalist, doctors, artists, an ex-prime minister, a former top Macron adviser and others from within Macron’s centrist political camp.
Cayeux, the minister for regional relations, was asked in an interview this week about her opposition to France’s 2013 law authorizing gay marriage and adoption, and comments at the time saying they were “against nature.” Speaking Tuesday to broadcaster Public Senat, she said she was being wrongly painted as prejudiced.
“I maintain my remarks. I always said that if the law were voted, I would apply it,” she said. “I have a lot of friends among all those people, and I’m being targeted by an unfair trial. This upsets me.”
The remarks set off shockwaves among LGBTQ people and provoked calls for her resignation. A legal complaint was filed against her for public insult.
Cayeux then tweeted her regrets, saying her words were “inappropriate,” and sent a letter to anti-discrimination groups to apologize. She told newspaper Le Parisien that the comments “do not at all reflect my views.”
Many question the sincerity of her change of heart, and say the damage has been done.
“How can we believe that the government will respect equality among everyone, will commit to fighting discrimination and guarantee gender freedom?” asks an online petition by LGBTQ groups calling for the resignation of Cayeux and two other government members who opposed the gay marriage law. The petition calls them “spokespersons for hate and rejection.”
But her bosses appear to be sticking by Cayeux. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said Friday that Cayeux’s remarks were “clumsy” but welcomed her apology, and said Cayeux would be “vigilant” going forward to support the fight against anti-LGBTQ discrimination.
The issue has divided the government at a time when Macron is politically weakened after losing his majority in parliament.
Transport Minister Clément Beaune, who is gay, called Cayeux’s comments “extremely hurtful.” Government spokesman Olivier Veran called them out of touch with the times.
In Sunday’s published appeal, the signatories called on the government to set a better example and defend France’s values of equality.
They celebrated “those people” that Cayeux referred to, noting that LGBTQ soldiers were among those marching in Thursday’s Bastille Day parade, and LGBTQ people work in local and national government and France’s security forces.
“We are proud of all those people who, through their dignified and discreet behavior, know how to serve the Republic better than she does,” it concluded. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/those-people-french-ministers-lgbtq-remarks-spark-anger/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-07-17T11:14:04Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/those-people-french-ministers-lgbtq-remarks-spark-anger/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | true |

Dodger Stadium history: City Section title games debut in 1969
Every baseball season since 1969, Dodger Stadium has hosted the City Section championship game. Only COVID-19 restrictions in 2020 and 2021 disrupted a streak that has allowed hundreds of Los Angeles Unified School District students the opportunity to experience an unforgettable moment — to play on the same field as their professional baseball heroes.
In celebration of the All-Star Game being played on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium in its 60th year, let’s celebrate the history of high school baseball being played there.
Former Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley made the commitment that Dodger Stadium should open its doors every season to the best teenage baseball players in Southern California from LAUSD varsity teams.
He said in 2018 that this father, Walter, welcomed the game to try to heal wounds in the city. Residents were still reeling after the tragedies of 1968, including the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy in downtown L.A. and Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tenn., and the city still was dealing with the ramifications of the 1965 Watts riots. So the Dodgers welcomed a high school championship game to their world-class stadium.
“That was one of the reasons and it meant a lot to my dad, and it would be the right thing,” O’Malley said. “Supporting and encouraging youth to participate in baseball. It was common sense. We had the facility and why not do it.”
The first City final featured Birmingham and Monroe, two San Fernando Valley schools. Birmingham won 1-0. Robert LoPresti was the first high school player to throw a pitch at Dodger Stadium. In 2018, on the 50th anniversary, he visited the ballpark.
The MLB All-Star Game is returning to Dodger Stadium for the first time since 1980. Here’s our coverage:
“I went through my scrapbook and newspaper clippings. It was kind of nostalgic,” he said.
Playing at a major league stadium has always been challenging for high school athletes. Catchers know they have to protect balls from going to the backstop and first baseman have to prevent balls thrown in the dirt from going into the dugout. Pop flies and fly outs can produce interesting moments depending on the time of day or night. Games were originally held at night but most have been day games in recent years.
Monroe came back to win in 1971 1-0 over Fremont to finish a 19-0 season. No other school until Chatsworth went 35-0 in 2004 had a perfect season.
Dodger Stadium has been the site for memorable teenage moments for star athletes that became household names. John Elway of Granada Hills struck out Darryl Strawberry of Crenshaw in 1978. Steve Kerr was a pitcher for Palisades when Bret Saberhagen of Cleveland threw the only no-hitter in City championship history in 1982. Randy Wolf of El Camino Real and Garret Anderson of Granada Hills Kennedy won City titles.
There have been memorable home runs. Matt Dominguez of Chatsworth hit home runs in different years at Dodger Stadium. Ryan Braun hit a home run for Granada Hills in an City Invitational final. The most dramatic came in 1985 when Kevin Farlow of Kennedy hit a walk-off home run for a 10-9 win over Banning.
“You’re standing on the field, looking up at the loge level, looking up at the club level, looking up at the reserve level, and it’s like a guest standing in the Grand Canyon,” Farlow said in 1998.
Chatsworth has won 10 City title games at Dodger Stadium, the most of any school, including this year.
The Southern Section has held several of its championship games at Dodger Stadium. Rio Ruiz hit a home run for Bishop Amat in the 2011 Division 4 championship game. In 2013, future major leaguer Jack Flaherty of Harvard-Westlake threw a 1-0 shutout over Huntington Beach Marina in the Division 1 final.
On the 30th anniversary in 1998, Peter O’Malley said, “We’ve got to keep it going another 30 years.”
Through different owners, it has kept going, producing memories of a lifetime for high school baseball players in the City Section and elsewhere.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — I think it’s gonna be a long, long time until we see another songwriter and performer like Elton John.
Wrapping up a 50-plus year career with a farewell tour, the British pianist and vocalist has created some of the most memorable and enduring music in the history of pop-rock, songs burned into the collective DNA of humanity.
They may be quite simple, like the basic four-chord glory of “Crocodile Rock,” or dazzlingly complex like the 11-minute magnum opus “Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.”
But now that it’s almost done, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words how wonderful it has been to have Elton John on our radios and in our ears since the late 1960s.
The artist born 75 years ago as Reginald Kenneth Dwight kicked off the final leg of his North American farewell tour Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, home of baseball’s Philadelphia Phillies. And yes, he felt the love that night.
“America made me famous and I can’t thank this country enough,” he told the audience. “Thank you for the loyalty, the love, the kindness you showed me.”
He has sold over 300 million records worldwide, has played over 4,000 shows in 80 countries, and recorded one of the best-selling singles of all-time, his 1997 reworking of “Candle In The Wind” to eulogize Princess Diana, which sold 33 million copies.
Sir Elton (he was knighted in 1998) has scored over 70 top 40 hits, including nine No. 1s, and released seven No. 1 albums in the 3 1/2-year period from 1972 to 1975, a pace second only to that of the Beatles.
He has five Grammy awards, as well as a Tony award for “Aida.” His crooning of “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” in “The Lion King” motion picture has serenaded millions of children, and will entertain future generations of little ones.
The outrageous costumes and oversized glasses he was known for in his early ‘70s heyday are gone now (he dressed as Donald Duck, Pac-Man, the Statue of Liberty, Minnie Mouse, and a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player, among others). And while the man has not met a sequin or a feather he doesn’t adore, his wardrobe is (by Elton standards) somewhat tamer these days.
He took the stage in a white tuxedo with black lapels, and purple sparkly glasses, walking somewhat tentatively to his shiny black piano to pound out the instantly recognizable opening chord to “Bennie And The Jets.”
Next up was “Philadelphia Freedom,” which he dedicated to the hometown crowd as “one of the greatest cities I’ve ever played in.” It was his 52nd concert in the City of Brotherly Love.
Throughout the night, John rolled out a dazzling array of smash hits spanning musical styles and genres. The gospel phrasings and cadences that so influenced his early work were evident on “Border Song” and “Take Me To The Pilot,” and even the straightforward radio staple “Levon” got a come-to-meeting revved-up ending.
He showed off the prototypical power ballad, “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me,” with its close cousin “Someone Saved My Life Tonight.”
And when longtime guitar sidekick Davey Johnstone donned an inverted Flying-V guitar, it was time for the power chord arena rockers, including Elton’s hardest-rocking song ever, “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting,” and the brash, boastful and Elton-to-the-bone anthem “The Bitch Is Back.”
Elton largely eschewed his famous falsetto; he still has 100 shows to go on the worldwide farewell tour that runs through next year, and he’s learned over the years how to conserve his voice without sacrificing his style and authenticity.
No matter: the crowd happily supplied the falsetto parts for him, including a mass sing-along of the “la-la-la” chorus on “Crocodile Rock.”
He reached back for only one deep track, “Have Mercy On The Criminal,” featuring Johnstone’s bluesy guitar licks, tucking it amid the dozens of smash hits.
And he avoided tear-jerkers like “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word” and the gut-wrenching “The Last Song” about a farewell between a father and his son who’s dying of AIDS, in favor of an upbeat, celebratory mood.
“All The Girls Love Alice,” one of the earliest mainstream rock songs to focus on lesbian relationships in the early ’70s, is an enduring concert staple, as is the straight-from-the-heart “Your Song.”
Before the closing number, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” Elton peered toward the finish line of his final tour.
“I’m really looking forward to spending the rest of my life with my children and my husband,” he said. “Be kind to yourself. Love each other.”
The consummate showman to the very end, Elton finished the song, and was elevated into the sky on a hydraulic lift as a hole opened in a brick wall atop the stage, engulfed him, and closed again.
So while Elton John will soon be gone from the stage, thank God his music’s still alive.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout has been scratched from the Los Angeles Angels’ lineup moments before the start of their final game before the All-Star break.
The three-time AL MVP missed the Angels’ three previous games with upper back spasms, and the injury forced him out of Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trout was in the Angels’ posted pregame lineup as the center fielder, but was removed about three minutes before the first pitch.
Trout is scheduled to play in the All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium after his 10th selection to the Midsummer Classic. Trout is batting .270 with 24 homers and 51 RBIs in 79 games this season, although he has just one multi-hit game and six total RBIs in the past three weeks.
Taylor Ward moved over from left field to take Trout’s place in center, and Brandon Marsh started in Ward’s place in left.
The Angels have lost 11 of 13 heading into the final game of the first half. They’ve been in a 15-39 skid since mid-May after starting the season well.

CHICAGO — The Federal Aviation Administration is warning people who fly drones at some North Side beaches in Chicago not to send them higher than 400 feet.
The FAA said it has received an increasing number of drone sighting reports from commercial airline pilots as they make their approach to land at O'Hare International Airport, WLS-TV reported Thursday.
The FAA said the following beaches are all in the landing flight path for O'Hare: Loyola and Hartigan beaches on the far North Side, Montrose Beach and Harbor in the Uptown neighborhood and Osterman and Lane beaches in the Edgewater neighborhood.
Drones that fly too high in those areas pose a safety hazard, even if they're hundreds of feet away from an aircraft, the FAA said.
States that collect the most property tax revenue

Despite many economic experts’ worst fears early in the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local government budgets have proven resilient over the last two years. With much of the economy shut down or hobbled as a result of the pandemic, forecasters initially worried that states and localities would collect substantially lower amounts of sales and income tax and face major budget shortfalls as a result. But behind falling unemployment, rising wages, and strong consumer spending, income and sales taxes have produced stronger-than-expected revenues since the initial shock of the pandemic.
One factor that has helped protect state and especially local revenues over this period is property taxes, which are taxes levied on real property like land and buildings or certain forms of personal property. Property taxes tend to be more stable over time because property values are less susceptible to economic volatility than income and sales tax. Depending on when taxes are assessed, it could take years for any significant changes in property values to become apparent in a government’s tax collections. This certainly helped keep property tax revenues steady during the pandemic—and for some communities, collections could potentially grow in coming years due to the skyrocketing values of residential real estate.

Property taxes are the second largest source of US state and local tax revenue
Property taxes’ stability could help continue to protect state and local budgets if the U.S. is headed toward a recession in the near future. Property tax collections represent 16.6% of state and local general tax revenues, which makes it the largest form of “own-source ” revenue generated by states and localities, ahead of individual income (12.9%) and general sales taxes (12.5%). And among all revenue sources, property tax trails only intergovernmental funds (22%), which comprises funds transferred from one government to another (most frequently federal to state or local) through grants, loans, and other agreements.
However, the overall mix of state and local revenue sources looks different across the U.S. Each state and local government offers a unique collection of revenue sources that weights income, sales, property, and other taxes differently. For example, nine states have no state income tax , while five have no state sales tax. Others have caps on property tax rates or restrictions around how property valuations are conducted that limit the amount of revenue from property taxes . This means that individuals’ specific tax burdens will look different depending on what state and local tax laws are in place where they live.
Over a third of general tax revenue in New Hampshire comes from property taxes
Property tax collections across the states show these differences in action. At the low end, only 6.9% of general tax revenue collected in Alabama comes from property tax, while at the high end, property tax is 36.5% of general tax revenue in New Hampshire. New Hampshire stands out in part because the state has neither an income nor a sales tax, so many services are funded at the local level through property taxes. Many of the other locations highly dependent on property taxes are nearby Northeastern states including New Jersey, Maine, and Connecticut.
The data used in this analysis is from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances . To determine the states that collect the most property tax revenue, researchers at Porch calculated property tax revenue as a share of total general tax revenue. In the event of a tie, the state with the greater annual property tax revenue per capita was ranked higher.
Here are the states that collect the most property tax revenue.

SAN ANTONIO — Police are searching for two men who shot a man while he was riding his bike just west of downtown Saturday night, hitting him in the buttocks and his ankle.
Police and firefighters were dispatched around 10:29 p.m. to the intersection of W. Commerce St. and N. Comal St. for reports of a shooting in progress.
When officials arrived, they found a man who had been shot twice. He told police he was riding his bike when he was approached by two men who were walking on the street. Police said some sort of altercation occurred and one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the man on the bike twice.
The unknown aged victim was shot once in the ankle and once in the buttocks.
He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital in stable condition. The sergeant on the scene said the victim could not give police much information on the suspects.
Police believe the suspects the two men fled on foot after the shooting.
Details remained limited and no other injuries were reported. Police are continuing their investigation.

The sentencing trial for the gunman who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., more than four years ago is set to begin on Monday.
After nearly three months of jury selection, jurors must decide whether Nikolas Cruz, 23, gets a life sentence in prison or is put to death. He has already pleaded guilty to all charges.
Prosecutors are seeking the death sentence, while Cruz's defense team is hoping for the only other option: life in prison with no possibility of parole. (In Florida, life sentences don't allow for parole.)
A jury of seven men and five women will hear witness testimony and review evidence, during a trial that's expected to last for months.
The jury must be unanimous in deciding to impose the death penalty. If a single juror disagrees, Cruz will be sentenced to life.
The trial has faced repeated delays
When he appeared in court last fall, Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty to 17 charges of first-degree murder and an additional 17 charges of attempted murder. At the time, he addressed victims' family members to apologize for his actions.
"I am very sorry for what I did and I have to live with it every day," he said. "And that if I would get a second chance, I would do everything in my power to try to help others."
In the pre-trial hearings, lead prosecutor Michael Satz laid out Cruz's actions on Valentine's Day in 2018. The former student, who'd been expelled from Marjory Stoneman a year earlier, took an Uber to the school and began firing an AR-15-style rifle at students in hallways and classrooms.
He killed 14 students, three staff members and seriously injured 17 others. He left the scene by hiding among fleeing students and was arrested soon after blocks away.
The sentencing trial has faced a series of delays due to the coronavirus pandemic and attorneys' requests. Cruz's defense attorneys last month requested another delay following May's mass shooting at a school in Uvalde, Texas, arguing that the tragedy in which 19 students and two teachers were killed triggered emotions that would unfairly influence the trial. The judge rejected the motion.
The shooting spurred a wave of advocacy from the victims
The tragedy inspired a wave of youth-driven advocacy to push for gun control. Survivors organized the nationwide March for Our Lives rallies in 2018 and again last month after the shooting in Uvalde.
A month after the shooting, Florida passed a law raising the minimum age to buy long guns such as rifles to 21. Cruz, who was 19 at the time of the shooting, had legally bought the AR-15-style rifle he used in the massacre. The law also provided more funding for security at schools and also allowed law enforcement to seize the weapons of anyone deemed a threat to themselves or others.
As a result of the law's passage, law enforcement officials say that over the last four years, Florida has issued more than 8,000 red flag orders to confiscate firearms.
In 2021, Parkland shooting victims and their families agreed to a $25 million settlement with the Broward County school district, after suing the district for negligence in failing to prevent the attack.
After Monday's sentencing trial starts, the jury will also hear statements from the families of those who were killed.
What to expect
The defense is expected to argue that the gunman was impaired by mental illness. Stephen Harper, a longtime public defender who specializes in Florida death penalty cases, previously told NPR that the evidence presented may include electroencephalogram tests and other forms of brain scans.
"His mother was apparently an alcoholic and a drug abuser," Harper said. "And in utero, he would have been exposed to very serious things that could have affected clearly his mental capacity. So those things are very relevant."
Legal experts, however, say that the premeditated nature of the killings will be a tough challenge for the defense.
In a video recorded before the shooting that later surfaced, the gunman described his plans to kill people, and talked about his "lone life" and hatred for "everyone and everything."
The jury will be shown gut-wrenching videos taken by students of some of their classmates' final moments, as well as eyewitness testimonies of survivors.

Refurbished track has its first race in Camden County
An old running track that dates back to the 1930s has been revitalized at a cost of $1.2 million as part of an overhaul of parks in Camden County.
Jack Curtis Stadium sits on the banks of the Cooper River and was in need of repair. It had an old gravel track, and Commissioner Jeff Nash said people got bits of it stuck on their clothes every time they used the facility. Piece by piece the track was getting carried away into people’s homes.
The grandstands were built with funding from the WPA, or Works Progress Administration, a signature program of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Now with more than $1 million in renovations, the facility has a new track, a new infield, and a stage for concerts and other events. The old bleachers have also been restored to their former glory.
The work is part of the county’s Parks Alive 2025 program, which Nash says is investing “tens of millions of dollars in all corners of Camden County’s parks to revitalize, reinvent and restore Camden County’s historic park system. All 24 parks.”
The new track has a cushioned running surface designed for everyone from serious track clubs to amateur runners.
Navon Soumilas is a member of Running 856 club. She said, “oftentimes we don’t have the access to tracks because high schools are limited and they don’t let some people in, you know, outsiders in for school protection. This gives us a great opportunity to practice our speed work, which we need for our races that we do year-round.” She believes the upgraded surface will give local runners the track they need to be able to compete with others who have access to better surfaces.
Pennsauken Mayor Jessica Rafeh was proud of the new facility, and wanted to show it off to the other county officials, challenging them to a race on the new track.
“These amazing upgrades mean the more people will be better, give more opportunities to enjoy and use this wonderful space to get outside and enjoy some of the much-needed fresh air to exercise and de-stress from our hectic lives. To celebrate open spaces. And to get connected to nature.”
Jill Chestnut heads the South Jersey Track and Field Club. She believes all children would benefit from being involved in a team sport. “Our mutual goal of creating a community hub to allow more safety nets for kids is realized with the newly remodeled track. As a club, we’re focused on athletics, but we believe that all kids, too, deserve to experience being part of a team, being well coached, and participating in the best aspects of competition, regardless of ability or talent.”
The facility is not just for sporting events, it’s got a stage for concerts and other public events, a paved walking track, and other amenities to service the entire county. | https://whyy.org/articles/refurbished-running-track-camden-county/ | 2022-07-17T12:19:32Z | https://whyy.org/articles/refurbished-running-track-camden-county/ | false |

Bigger than it looks: Book-loving siblings' NU2YU store in Melbourne houses a world of reading
Don't let the unassuming cover of this seemingly small bookstore fool you.
There's a voluminous world of reading behind that front door at NU2YU Books, tucked away in three units of a storage facility at 2624 Aurora Road in Melbourne.
This book lover's dream of a place houses hundreds of thousands of used books on countless topics — from manga to memoirs, rock stars to geology, history to the heavens.
"I always says it's like a TARDIS from 'Doctor Who' — a lot bigger than it looks from the outside," said Rochelle Hack, who owns and operates the store with her brother, Jeremy Hack.
Lifelong reader:Melbourne Beach Library celebrates 100-year-old patron's love of books
In case you missed it:A Cocoa bookstore's response to contested school library books: 'buy some and read them.'
And is it ever bigger, row after row, shelf after painstakingly arranged, soaring shelf.
Fiction and non-fiction. Paperbacks, hardbacks, audiobooks, antiques. Books for children, young adults and adults. Every imaginable genre and an endless lineup of authors.
Who's a given in that lineup? Think James Patterson: "He's in practically every genre now," said Rochelle. For kids, "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" fiction series, by Jeff Kinney, is kind of a gateway for kids who don't like to read or struggle to read. And the Nancy Drew series is still popular, too — 92 years after the female counterpart to the Hardy Boys was introduced.
Whether you're looking for old Hollywood history or Sherlock Holmes, cookbooks or romance novels, these two can lead you straight to it. Or if it's in the computer, and you can come up with a description of the book, or an idea of the cover, the two will Google away until they can figure out where it is.
"We both have photographic memories," Rochelle said. "It helps."
Getting into the book biz
The duo, raised in Melbourne, took over the business in 2018 from their brother and sister-in-law, who purchased it from the original owner in 2008. He was a family friend whose health was declining and who once sold books at a flea market, but the Hack family "didn't want it to close," Rochelle said.
It was no leap of faith for Rochelle and Jeremy to jump in four years ago. The two, who were homeschooled, are avid readers and lifelong learners.
Jeremy, 22, has always been a military history and aviation buff.
Rochelle, 29, leaned toward historical fiction as a kid; one of her sisters, fantasy, and another sister, westerns.
"As children, we would all pick one of our favorite books and read aloud to each other so that we could get a taste of everything," she said.
The supply here — most of which ranges between $1 and $10 — never dwindles. People can come in with stacks of books and receive store credit. The biggest loads of offerings come in as people move, or when someone passes away.
There was some worry, especially in the first months of the pandemic when most everyone was closed, about the store's future.
Instead, the Hacks welcomed people vacationing in Florida. People from other countries and states and just down the road.
Reading became, or continued to be, a bright spot for customers as the pandemic changed the pace of life, said Jeremy.
'For some, reading was just something to do," he said. "But I think it's given people an escape, a peek into another world. Even if it's just for a few chapters at a time."
For some, a trip to NU2YU is a gift — the Hacks love it when people come in and announce they're giving themselves books as a birthday treat.
On a recent trip, Sue Darby pored over a shelf of audiobooks, including selections from Mario Puzo and Bill O'Reilly.
"They do an amazing job here," she said as she paid. "This place is a treasure and a lot of people don't even know it's here."
It's time-consuming, this business, and it's not a cash cow.
"It's a labor of love," Rochelle said. "You don't go into this to be a billionaire."
But there are non-monetary rewards, like being surrounded all day by books.
Or seeing someone find what they didn't realized they wanted.
Or the surprise on someone's face when they come in expecting a book nook and find instead a reading windfall.
"One guy came in and had just landed at the Melbourne airport," Rochelle said. "And he said, 'The person next to me on the plane said, 'You have to go to this bookstore in Melbourne.' People will come from Rockledge or Cocoa, or say they heard about us in Vero Beach. And I'm just blown away."

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — To promote the recently signed Virginia budget and its array of tax cuts, Gov. Glenn Youngkin hosted two high-energy campaign-style celebrations, complete with bright lighting, throngs of supporters and a booming playlist that harkened back to his winning run last year.
Other bill signings and news conferences in Richmond have featured a similar flair, like a carefully staged gas-tax proposal announced at a gas station where Youngkin washed windshields for drivers. And in the otherwise plain governor’s briefing room, a collection of Virginia and American flags has been added.
Youngkin is also increasingly expanding his focus beyond Richmond's Capitol Square. He was in Nebraska this month to give the keynote speech at the state GOP convention. He plans additional stops on behalf of Republican gubernatorial candidates after Labor Day, along with appearances for candidates in some of Virginia's most competitive congressional races.
In his first six months as governor, Youngkin has moved quickly to assert himself as a new voice in the party. It's a dramatic and tightly choreographed transformation for a political newcomer who appears to be carefully cultivating his public image in a way that's driving talk about his possible ambitions for higher office.
“By and large they have an operation that’s more coordinated, scripted,” said longtime Virginia political analyst Bob Holsworth. “They have an image they want to put forward, and they’re not trying to do anything that could detract from that.”
Speculation that Youngkin, a former private equity executive, might seek higher office — perhaps even a 2024 presidential bid — took off the moment he defeated Terry McAuliffe in a race the former Democratic governor entered as the perceived favorite. Virginia does not allow an incumbent to run for a second consecutive four-year term.
Youngkin drew national attention for navigating a win in a state long trending blue, running on a solidly conservative platform while keeping former President Donald Trump at a distance and impressing voters who found the candidate to be friendly and sincere.
Some speculate Youngkin might make a shortlist as a vice presidential contender or eventually challenge one of Virginia's Democratic U.S. senators. He has been coy about his future, saying in recent interviews that he's focused on Virginia but declining to rule anything out.
The 55-year-old was sworn in Jan. 15 and recently wrapped up work from his first legislative session, which saw some of his top priorities defeated by the Democratic-controlled state Senate. But he emerged with plenty to promote after focusing on specific campaign pledges and working to push Virginia to the right.
A few Democrats joined with Republicans on votes to ban school districts from imposing mask mandates, regulate sexually explicit classroom materials and expand a school innovation initiative Youngkin pushed. The compromise state spending plan enacts tax cuts — many of which Youngkin campaigned on — expected to save a family of four over $1,100 a year.
His administration has also loosened state COVID-19 quarantine and mask guidance beyond the federal government’s recommendations.
Looking ahead, he has indicated he would like to see a 15- or 20-week abortion ban enacted next year. Virginia currently permits abortions in the first and second trimesters, and in the third trimester only if three physicians certify that the mother's mental or physical health is at serious risk.
All the while, Youngkin is proving himself to be a strong fundraiser, boosted through a newly formed political action committee. The PAC, Spirit of Virginia, raised more than $1.5 million in donations over $10,000 or more during the second quarter of the year. That was far more than other governors brought in during the similar period, even after adjusting for inflation, according to the nonpartisan money-in-politics-tracker, the Virginia Public Access Project. Total receipts during the quarter were over $2.2 million, and the PAC reported spending just over $1 million.
Youngkin also broke fundraising records for his inauguration festivities.
The governor, who appears with some regularity on Fox News, has recently attracted or participated in a blitz of splashy media coverage, from a TIME magazine profile to his second Sunday morning news show. A Washington Post opinion column said it was “good news” that he was “seriously” contemplating a presidential bid.
In Richmond, Youngkin has selectively engaged with the media, withheld public records requests in cases where his office has wide discretion and released fairly limited details about his schedule, which in recent weeks has contained few public events. He did not agree to an interview for this story.
Spokeswoman Macaulay Porter said the governor is committed to engaging with Richmond journalists and noted that Youngkin routinely answers questions after his public events.
Youngkin has evaded recent questions about Trump, who has been mulling a new presidential campaign as soon as this summer.
The governor was asked on CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether Trump should stop making false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
“Well, let me begin with my trip to Nebraska, which was really great fun," Youngkin responded. He went on to avoid directly answering the question three more times.
Some Democrats say Youngkin has been more focused on elevating his profile than on governing.
“His political ambition is costing Virginia its world-class economic status — and that is a damn shame," Susan Swecker, chairwoman of the state Democratic Party, said in a statement after Virginia fell from first place to third in CNBC's “Top States for Business” ranking.
But longtime state Sen. Chap Petersen, a moderate Democrat from northern Virginia who joined Republicans to effectively end school mask mandates, expressed a modicum of approval of the governor's leadership. Petersen said Youngkin had helped return the state to a sense of normalcy as it reemerged from the heights of the pandemic.
Petersen did say he was disappointed in several of the administration's actions he called “petty,” including the governor's veto of bills from a colleague who led the fight against the appointment of a Cabinet nominee. Petersen said Youngkin might accomplish more in Virginia if he dialed back the partisanship.
“I sure hope he’s focused on his current job," Petersen said. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Youngkin-shifts-Virginia-right-raising-profile-17310386.php | 2022-07-17T12:33:16Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Youngkin-shifts-Virginia-right-raising-profile-17310386.php | false |

PARIS — Firefighters struggled on Sunday to contain wildfires raging out of control in France and Spain as Europe wilts under an unusually extreme heat wave that authorities link to a rise in excess mortality.
Two huge blazes that have been consuming pine forests for six days just south of the city of Bordeaux in southwest France have forced the evacuation of some 14,000 people, including many who were set to spend their vacation at campsites.
In Spain, firefighters supported by the armed forces' emergency brigades are trying to stamp out over 30 fires consuming forests spread across the country. Spain's National Defense Department said that "the majority" of its fire-fighting aircraft have been deployed. Many areas are rugged, hilly terrain that makes it difficult for ground crews to access.
So far, there have been no fire-related deaths in France or Spain. In Portugal, a pilot of a firefighting plane died when his aircraft crashed on Friday.
But as temperatures remain unusually high, heat-related deaths have soared.
In Spain the second heat wave of the summer has kept highs above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in many areas. According to Spain's Carlos III Institute, which records temperature-related fatalities daily, 237 deaths were attributed to high temperatures from July 10-14. That was compared with 25 temperature-related deaths the previous five days.
In France, the fire in La Teste-de-Buch near the Atlantic coast has forced 10,000 people to flee. The Gironde regional government said on Sunday that "the situation remains unfavorable" due to gusting winds that, combined with hot and dry conditions, have fanned more flare-ups overnight.
A second fire near the town of Landiras, south of a valley of Bordeaux vineyards, has forced authorities to evacuate 4,100 people this week, including some 1,900 on Saturday. Authorities said that one flank has been brought under control by the dumping of white sand along a two-kilometer (1.2-mile) stretch. Another flank, however, remains unchecked.
Some of the most worrisome blazes in Spain are concentrated in the western regions of Extremadura and Castilla y León. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced a joint command that will take over coordinating the efforts to battle the fires that are active in the adjoining regions.
Firefighters have been unable to stop the advance of a fire that broke out near the city of Cáceres that is threatening the Monfragüe National Park and has kept 200 people from returning to their homes.
Another fire in southern Spain near the city of Malaga has forced the evacuation of a further 2,500 people. There are more fires near the central city of Ávila, in northwest Galicia, among other areas.
Hungary, Croatia and the Greek island of Crete have also fought wildfires this week, as have Morocco and California.
The scorching temperatures have reached as far north as Britain, where its weather agency has issued its first-ever "red warning" of extreme heat for Monday and Tuesday, when temperatures in southern England may reach 40 C (104 F) for the first time.
That will still be relatively bearable compared with the 47 C (117 F) recorded in Portugal's northern town of Pinhao on Wednesday, establishing a new national record.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Four years, five months and four days after Nikolas Cruz murdered 17 at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, his trial for the deadliest U.S. mass shooting to reach a jury begins Monday with opening statements.
Delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and legal wrangling, the penalty-only trial is expected to last four monthswith the seven-man, five-woman jury being exposed to horrific evidence throughout. The jurors will then decide whether Cruz, 23, is sentenced to death or life without the possibility of parole.
“Finally,” said Lori Alhadeff, who wants Cruz executed for murdering her 14-year-old daughter Alyssa. “I hope for swift action to hold him responsible.”
All victim parents and family members who have spoken publicly have said directly or indirectly they want Cruz sentenced to death.
The former Stoneman Douglas student pleaded guilty in October to the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre and is only challenging his sentence. Nine other U.S. gunmen who fatally shot at least 17 people died during or immediately after their attacks by suicide or police gunfire. Cruz was captured after he fled the school. The suspect in the 2019 killing of 23 at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart is awaiting trial.
Lead prosecutor Mike Satz will give his side’s presentation. Satz, 80, spent 44 years as Broward County’s state attorney and appointed himself lead prosecutor shortly after the shootings that killed 14 students and three staff members. He did not seek a 12th term and left office in early 2021, but his successor, Harold Pryor, kept him on the case.
Craig Trocino, a University of Miami law professor, said Satz will likely emphasize the shooting’s brutality and the story of each victim lost. The prosecution’s theme throughout the trial will be, “If any case deserves a death sentence, this is it,” he said.
“They are going to want to talk about how horrible the crime was, how culpable Mr. Cruz is,” said Trocino, who worked on defendants’ death penalty appeals before joining the law school.
Cruz’s lead public defender, Melisa McNeill, said in court recently that she hasn’t decided whether her team will give its opening statement immediately after Satz or wait several weeks until it’s time to present their case.
Trocino said delaying their opening statement would be a risky and extremely rare defense strategy as it would allow the prosecution to have the only say for half the trial.
He said Cruz’s attorneys will likely want to plant the seed in jurors’ minds that he is a young adult with lifelong emotional and psychological problems. The goal would be to temper the jurors’ emotions as the prosecution presents grisly videos and photos of the shootings and their aftermath, the painful testimony of the surviving wounded and tearful statements from victims’ family members.
The jurors will also tour the sealed-off three-story classroom building where the massacre occurred. It remains blood-stained and bullet-pocked, with deflated Valentine’s Day balloons and dead flowers strewn about.
“The defense will want to put a human face on Cruz,” Trocino said. “They will want to show why life without the possibility of parole is a sufficient punishment.”
During the trial, the prosecution is expected to present an overarching narrative of Cruz’s history of threats, his planning and the merciless nature of the shootings. But they will also spend time on each individual slaying as the jurors will eventually vote on 17 potential death sentences, one for each victim.
Satz’s team will be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Cruz committed at least one aggravating circumstance specified under Florida law, but that should not be an issue. Those include murders that were especially heinous or cruel; committed in a cold, calculated and premeditated manner; or committed during an act that created a great risk of death to many persons.
Cruz’s team can raise several mitigating factors that are also in the law. Before the shooting, Cruz had no criminal history. The attorneys can argue he was under extreme mental or emotional disturbance, and his capacity to appreciate his conduct’s criminality or conform it to the law was substantially impaired.
They will likely present evidence that:
— Cruz’s birth mother abused alcohol and drugs during pregnancy. His attorneys say that damaged his brain and left him intellectually disabled, with behavioral problems starting in preschool.
— A “trusted peer” sexually abused him.
— When Cruz was 5, his adopted father died of a heart attack in front of him, which left his adoptive mother to raise him and his brother alone.
— His adoptive mother abused alcohol and died less than four months before the massacre.
— He was an immature 19 when the shootings happened.
For each death sentence, the jury must be unanimous or the sentence for that victim is life. The jurors are told that to vote for death, the prosecution’s aggravating circumstances for that victim must, in their judgement, “outweigh” the defense’s mitigators. A juror can also vote for life out of mercy for Cruz. During jury selection, the panelists said under oath that they are capable of voting for either sentence.
It is possible Cruz could get death for some victims and life for others, particularly since he walked back to some wounded victims and killed them with a second volley. That might swing any hesitant jurors on those counts.
“The prosecution only needs for the jury to come back (for death) on one,” Trocino said. | https://www.wivb.com/news/u-s-headlines/florida-school-massacre-finally-goes-to-trial-on-monday/ | 2022-07-17T12:47:52Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/u-s-headlines/florida-school-massacre-finally-goes-to-trial-on-monday/ | false |
ROME (AP) — Soprano Angel Blue says she won’t perform in an opera in Italy this month because blackface was used in the staging of a different work this summer on the same stage.
The U.S. singer posted a note on her angeljoyblue Instagram page saying she will be bowing out of “La Traviata” at Verona’s Arena this month because the theater recently mounted another Giuseppe Verdi opera, “Aida,” that had performers in blackface.
She blasted such use of “archaic” theatrical practices as “offensive, humiliating, and outright racist.”
Angel Blue, however, was still listed Saturday on the Arena’s website as singing the role of Violetta in “La Traviata” on July 22 and 30.
The theater said it was hoping that Blue, who is Black, would accept an invitation to meet with Arena officials in a “dialogue” over the issue. The Arena, in a statement Friday, said it had “no reason nor intent whatsoever to offend and disturb anyone’s sensibility.”
For decades, U.S. civil rights organizations for decades have publicly condemned blackface — in which white performers blacken their faces — as dehumanizing Blacks by introducing and reinforcing racial stereotypes.
The Arena this summer has mounted performances of “Aida” based on a 2002 staging of the opera classic by Italian director Franco Zeffirelli who died in 2019. That staging uses blackface.
“Dear Friends, Family, and Opera Lovers,” began the soprano’s Instagram post. “I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that I will not be singing La Traviata at Arena di Verona this summer as planned.”
Referring to Arena’s decision to use blackface makeup in “Aida,” the singer wrote: “Let me be perfectly clear: the use of blackface under any circumstances, artistic or otherwise, is a deeply misguided practice based on archaic theatrical traditions which have no place in modern society. It is offensive, humiliating and outright racist.”
She wrote that she couldn’t “in good conscience associate myself with an institution which continues this practice.”
The theater’s statement said “Angel Blue knowingly committed herself to sing at the Arena” even though the “characteristics” of the 2002 Zeffirelli staging were “well known.”
Still, the theater stressed its hope that her protest would ultimately improve understanding between cultures as well as educate Italian audiences.
“Every country has different roots, and their cultural and social structures developed along different historical and cultural paths,” said the statement by the Arena of Verona Foundation. “Common convictions have often been reached only after years of dialogue and mutual understanding.”
The Arena statement stressed dialogue, “in effort to understand others’ point of view, in respect of consciously assumed artistic obligations.”
“Contraposition, judgments, labeling, lack of dialogue only feed the culture of contrasts, which we totally reject,” said the statement, appealing for cooperation “to avoid divisions.”
It’s not the first time that the use of blackface makeup for a staging of “Aida” in Verona has sparked a soprano’s protest. In 2019, opera singer Tamara Wilson, who is white, protested against darkening her face to sing the title character of an Ethiopian woman in the opera at the Arena. | https://www.wivb.com/news/us-soprano-offended-by-blackface-pulls-out-of-italy-opera/ | 2022-07-17T12:48:11Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/us-soprano-offended-by-blackface-pulls-out-of-italy-opera/ | true |
No major problems with ballot drop boxes in 2020, AP finds
ATLANTA (AP) — The expanded use of drop boxes for mailed ballots during the 2020 election did not lead to any widespread problems, according to an Associated Press survey of state election officials across the U.S. that revealed no cases of fraud, vandalism or theft that could have affected the results.
The findings from both Republican- and Democratic-controlled states run contrary to claims made by former President Donald Trump and his allies who have intensely criticized their use and falsely claimed they were a target for fraud.
Drop boxes are considered by many election officials to be safe and secure, and have been used to varying degrees by states across the political spectrum. Yet conspiracy theories and efforts by Republicans to eliminate or restrict them since the 2020 election persist. This month, the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s conservative majority ruled that drop boxes are not allowed under state law and can no longer be widely used.
Drop boxes also are a focal point of the film “2,000 Mules,” which used a flawed analysis of cellphone location data and ballot drop box surveillance footage to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 presidential election.
In response to the legislation and conspiracy theories surrounding drop boxes, the AP sent a survey in May to the top elections office in each state seeking information about whether the boxes were tied to fraudulent votes or stolen ballots, or whether the boxes and the ballots they contained were damaged.
All but five states responded to the questions.
None of the election offices in states that allowed the use of drop boxes in 2020 reported any instances in which the boxes were connected to voter fraud or stolen ballots. Likewise, none reported incidents in which the boxes or ballots were damaged to the extent that election results would have been affected.
A previous AP investigation found far too few cases of potential voter fraud in the six battleground states where Trump disputed his loss to President Joe Biden to affect the outcome.
A number of states — including Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas — said they do not allow the use of drop boxes. Some had not allowed them before the 2020 election, when the coronavirus pandemic prompted wider use of mailed ballots. In states where they are used, secretaries of state or election commissioners may not be aware of every incident involving a drop box if it was not reported to their office by a county or other local jurisdiction.
Drop boxes have been a mainstay in states with extensive mail voting for years and had not raised any alarms. They were used widely in 2020 as election officials sought to provide alternative ways to cast ballots with the COVID-19 outbreak creating concerns about in-person voting. The boxes also gave voters a direct method for submitting their ballots, rather than sending them through the U.S. Postal Service and worrying about delivery delays.
Starting months before the 2020 presidential election, Trump and his allies have made a series of unfounded claims suggesting that drop boxes open the door to voter fraud. Republican state lawmakers, as part of their push to add new voting restrictions, have in turn placed rules around when and where the boxes could be accessed.
Arizona Assistant Secretary of State Allie Bones said drop boxes are “safe and secure” and might even be considered more secure than Postal Service mailboxes. She said bipartisan teams in the state collect ballots from the drop boxes and take them directly to secure election facilities, following so-called chain-of-custody protocols.
“Not to say that there’s anything wrong with USPS, and I think they do a great job as well, but the hysteria around ballot drop boxes I think is just a made-up thing to create doubt and fear,” Bones said.
Arizona has had robust mail-in voting for years that includes the use of drop boxes, and in the AP survey, the state reported no damage, stolen ballots or fraud associated with them in 2020. Nevertheless, Trump-aligned lawmakers in the state pushed for legislation that would ban drop boxes, but were stymied by Democrats and several Republicans who disagreed with the strategy.
Utah is a state controlled by Republicans that also has widespread use of mailed ballots and no limits on the number of drop boxes a county can deploy. The office of Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, a Republican who is the state’s top election official, said in the AP survey that Henderson encourages counties to make secure drop boxes accessible to voters.
Of the states responding to the survey, 15 indicated that drop boxes were in use before 2020 and 22 have no limits on how many can be used in this fall’s election. At least five states take the extra step of setting a minimum number of drop boxes required.
Republican-led Florida and North Dakota and Democratic-led New York did not respond. Montana and Virginia did, but did not answer the survey questions related to the 2020 election.
Last year, five states added new restrictions to ballot drop boxes, according to research by the Voting Rights Lab. That included Georgia, where President Joe Biden won a narrow victory and where drop boxes were allowed under an emergency rule prompted by the pandemic.
Georgia Republicans say their changes have resulted in drop boxes being a permanent option for voters, requiring all counties to have at least one. But the legislation, which includes a formula of one box per 100,000 registered voters, means fewer will be available in the state’s most populous communities compared with 2020.
Iowa lawmakers last year approved legislation to limit drop boxes to one per county. Previously, state law did not say how many drop boxes counties could use. This year, Louisiana, Missouri and South Carolina have passed laws effectively prohibiting drop boxes, according to the Voting Rights Lab, which researches state election law changes.
Along with incidents recorded in news reports, the AP survey found a handful of cases in 2020 in which drop boxes were damaged.
Officials in Washington state said there were instances when drop boxes were hit by vehicles, but that no ballot tampering had been reported. Massachusetts election officials said one box was damaged by arson in October 2020 but that most of the ballots inside were still legible enough for voters to be identified, notified and sent replacements.
A drop box also was set on fire in Los Angeles County in 2020, but a local election official said the vast majority of the ballots that were damaged were able to be recovered and voters provided new ballots. Another drop box in California was temporarily closed because of a wildfire.
“The irony is they were put in place to respond to a problem with the post office and make sure people had a secure way of returning their ballots,” said Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat. “And so there’s no actual legitimate concern except for, again, potential external threats or people who have been radicalized through misinformation to try to tamper with drop boxes to make a point.”
North Carolina provides an example of how deep-seated the misinformation has become. The state does not allow drop boxes and did not use them during the 2020 election.
“And despite that fact, people are still claiming drop box fraud must have occurred in North Carolina,” said Patrick Gannon, public information director for the State Board of Elections. “You can’t make this up. Oh wait. Yes, you can.”
In Wisconsin, Republicans had supported the use of drop boxes before Trump seized on mailed ballots as part of his unsubstantiated claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Some voters said they were frustrated by the recent state Supreme Court ruling, which said no one other than the voter can return their mailed ballot and that those ballots can go only to a local clerk’s office or alternate site.
Kelly O’Keefe Boettcher of Milwaukee said she cast her ballot in a drop box in 2020 because of safety concerns during the pandemic and is upset that they’ll no longer be an option for her or for voters who are less able to get to the polls.
“Drop boxes are accessible; they are egalitarian,” she said. “To watch them go, I feel, people can say it’s not voter suppression. But it is.”
Wisconsin state Rep. Tim Ramthun, a Republican candidate for governor, reintroduced a resolution this past week for the GOP-controlled Legislature to decertify Biden’s victory there, adding the state Supreme Court ruling on drop boxes as one reason to do so. Trump also renewed his calls for decertification in Wisconsin, citing the ruling.
According to the AP survey, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said it is not aware of any cases in 2020 in which drop boxes were damaged, had submitted ballots stolen or destroyed, or were used for fraudulent ballots.
“Isn’t a mailbox a secure place to put a letter?” asked Dave Wanninger, who with his wife used a ballot drop box in a Milwaukee public library in 2020. “Why would a drop box be any different?”

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout has been scratched from the Los Angeles Angels’ lineup moments before the start of their final game before the All-Star break.
The three-time AL MVP missed the Angels’ three previous games with upper back spasms, and the injury forced him out of Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trout was in the Angels’ posted pregame lineup as the center fielder, but was removed about three minutes before the first pitch.
Trout is scheduled to play in the All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium after his 10th selection to the Midsummer Classic. Trout is batting .270 with 24 homers and 51 RBIs in 79 games this season, although he has just one multi-hit game and six total RBIs in the past three weeks.
Taylor Ward moved over from left field to take Trout’s place in center, and Brandon Marsh started in Ward’s place in left.
The Angels have lost 11 of 13 heading into the final game of the first half. They’ve been in a 15-39 skid since mid-May after starting the season well.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Cheers from every corner of the Old Course that belonged to Tiger Woods for two days at St. Andrews switched over to Rory McIlroy in the British Open, and he certainly did his part to give them what came to see Saturday.
McIlroy holed a bunker shot for eagle on the 10th hole that he described as part skill and part luck, but it was pure magic. He showed discipline to know when to aim away from the flag, and to take bogey when he was stuck between a wall and a road behind the 17th green.
McIlroy now shares the stage at the home of golf with Viktor Hovland, the emerging Norwegian star who was every bit as good in making birdies and avoiding the blunders that cost so many other potential contenders.
Both made birdie on the final hole for a 6-under 66. No one else was closer than four shots. They have the same score at 16-under 200, though the support is one-sided.
“They’re chanting his name out there. I think he’s definitely a crowd favorite,” Masters champion Scottie Scheffler said. “How can you not root for Rory?”
McIlroy is one round away from ending eight long years without a major. He wants to stay in his world without ignoring the support raining down on him.
“I think it’s appreciating the moment as well and appreciating the fact that it’s unbelievably cool to have a chance to win The Open at St Andrews,” McIlroy said. “It’s what dreams are made of. And I’m going to try to make a dream come true tomorrow.”
Hovland, already with six victories worldwide in his four years since leaving Oklahoma State as a U.S. Amateur champion, could appreciate the support for McIlroy and all he has done. He played mistake-free and sounded as though he were up for the task.
“I’m going against one of the best players in the world and I’m certainly not going to hold back, because he’s certainly not,” Hovland said.
It wasn’t a two-man race, even if it felt that way as the Old Course emptied and bagpipes began to skirl at the end of the day.
Cameron Smith, who started with a two-shot lead, took double bogey on the 13th hole when he tried a bold play with his feet in a pot bunker. Cameron Young went over the 16th green and then back down the other side for a double bogey on the 16th hole.
They were four shots behind, still in the game. Two-time major champion Dustin Johnson, the best candidate from the Saudi-funded LIV Golf league to claim this major, putted across the green and into a bunker for one of three bogeys on the back nine. He fell six shots behind.
McIlroy and Hovland had no such trouble.
Hovland holed a pair of 40-foot putts on his way to four straight birdies on the front nine to seize the lead. McIlroy finally caught him by holing out from a pot bunker some 80 feet away for eagle on the 10th hole, setting off a roar that could be heard all the way back at the Royal & Ancient clubhouse.
McIlroy only a day earlier tipped his cap to Woods as he started his second round and Woods was on his way to missing the cut, crossing the Swilcan Bridge for what might have been last time. The R&A set the tee times that way so they would pass each other.
Woods stands alone in driving the sport, though McIlroy is the most popular worldwide, and it sounded like that — on the first tee when McIlroy was introduced, for every birdie, and when he took the lead for the first time with a birdie on the 14th.
“I love that I’ve got so much support,” McIlroy said. “But at the same time, I need to keep in my own little world and try to play a good round of golf. Hopefully, that’s enough.”
His lone mistake was coming out of the left rough and over the 17th green, across the road and near the stone wall. He played a safe pitch onto the green and two-putted for bogey.
Hovland, bogey-free for the round, showed off some magic of his own on the 17th by putting off the dirt path just short of the road, up the hill to about 5 feet for a par.
“I’ve never been in a bigger spot in my career,” Hovland said. He sounded up to the task, and the popular Norwegian also saw — and heard — what he will be up against Sunday.
“I get a couple in there,” he said of the cheers so heavily slanted toward McIlroy. “I’m probably an underdog, but I don’t mind that at all. Hopefully, we can push ourselves tomorrow.”
Smith missed a short birdie chance on the 18th and had a 73. His biggest mistake was not getting the ball back in play on the 13th, instead trying to advance the ball and getting into tough spots. He also three-putted from 30 feet to start his round and made just two birdies.
Young, the PGA Tour rookie who finished one shot out of a playoff at the PGA Championship two months ago, had a 71.
Scheffler was lurking after a 69. He missed a 10-foot birdie chance on the 16th and then three-putted the 17th for a bogey. Scheffler, who finished one shot behind in the U.S. Open, had a 69 and was five back along with Si Woo Kim (67).
Johnson also within three shots until a bogey on the 13th and another on the par-5 14th, where his long eagle putt raced up a hill, across the green and into a pot bunker. Instead of birdie, he had to scramble for bogey. He dropped two more shots coming in for a 71 and was six behind.
McIlroy last won a major in 2014 at the PGA Championship at Valhalla. He would love nothing more than to win at the home of golf, on the Old Course where Jack Nicklaus once said a player’s career would not be complete without winning a claret jug at St. Andrews.
“Every part of my game has felt good this week,” McIlroy said. “I just need to keep it going for one more day.”

PARIS (AP) — Firefighters struggled on Sunday to contain wildfires raging out of control in France and Spain as Europe wilts under an unusually extreme heat wave that authorities link to a rise in excess mortality.
Two huge blazes that have been consuming pine forests for six days just south of the city of Bordeaux in southwest France have forced the evacuation of some 14,000 people, including many who were set to spend their vacation at campsites.
In Spain, firefighters supported by the armed forces’ emergency brigades are trying to stamp out over 30 fires consuming forests spread across the country. Spain’s National Defense Department said that “the majority” of its fire-fighting aircraft have been deployed. Many areas are rugged, hilly terrain that makes it difficult for ground crews to access.
So far, there have been no fire-related deaths in France or Spain. In Portugal, a pilot of a firefighting plane died when his aircraft crashed on Friday.
But as temperatures remain unusually high, heat-related deaths have soared.
In Spain the second heat wave of the summer has kept highs above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in many areas. According to Spain’s Carlos III Institute, which records temperature-related fatalities daily, 237 deaths were attributed to high temperatures from July 10-14. That was compared with 25 temperature-related deaths the previous five days.
In France, the fire in La Teste-de-Buch near the Atlantic coast has forced 10,000 people to flee. The Gironde regional government said on Sunday that “the situation remains unfavorable” due to gusting winds that, combined with hot and dry conditions, have fanned more flare-ups overnight.
A second fire near the town of Landiras, south of a valley of Bordeaux vineyards, has forced authorities to evacuate 4,100 people this week, including some 1,900 on Saturday. Authorities said that one flank has been brought under control by the dumping of white sand along a two-kilometer (1.2-mile) stretch. Another flank, however, remains unchecked.
Some of the most worrisome blazes in Spain are concentrated in the western regions of Extremadura and Castilla y León. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced a joint command that will take over coordinating the efforts to battle the fires that are active in the adjoining regions.
Firefighters have been unable to stop the advance of a fire that broke out near the city of Cáceres that is threatening the Monfragüe National Park and has kept 200 people from returning to their homes.
Another fire in southern Spain near the city of Malaga has forced the evacuation of a further 2,500 people. There are more fires near the central city of Ávila, in northwest Galicia, among other areas.
Hungary, Croatia and the Greek island of Crete have also fought wildfires this week, as have Morocco and California.
The scorching temperatures have reached as far north as Britain, where its weather agency has issued its first-ever “red warning” of extreme heat for Monday and Tuesday, when temperatures in southern England may reach 40 C (104 F) for the first time.
That will still be relatively bearable compared with the 47 C (117 F) recorded in Portugal’s northern town of Pinhao on Wednesday, establishing a new national record.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Diplomatic tensions soared Sunday between Balkan rivals Serbia and Croatia after Croatia refused to allow a private visit by Serbia's populist president to the site of a World War II concentration camp where tens of thousands of Serbs were killed by pro-Nazi authorities in Croatia.
Croatia's authorities said they learned about the planned visit to the Jasenovac camp by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic through “unofficial channels.” Foreign Minister Gordan Grlic Radman told reporters that the fact that the Croatian government had not been formally notified of the visit was “unacceptable.”
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to stress that in the planning of any visit by foreign officials the time, nature and program of the visit should be subject of official communication and agreement by both sides,” said Grlic Radman. “This was not a trip to the seaside. The president of a country is a protected individual.”
Croatia's decision sparked outrage in neighboring Serbia, where officials described it as “scandalous." Serbia's hardline Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin said all Croatian officials from now on would have to announce any transit or visit to Serbia, and would be placed under “special regime of control.” He did not elaborate.
“This was an anti-European and anti-civilization decision and brutal violation of the freedom of movement," Serbian Prime Minister Ana Branabic told the pro-government Pink television. “I don't know what our relations will look like in the future ... This is sending a frightening message.”
Relations between Serbia and Croatia have remained tense since the breakup of the former Yugoslavia and the 1991-95 war in Croatia that erupted when its Serb minority, backed by Serbia, rebelled against Croatia's independence. More than 10,000 people were killed in the war.
Although the two nations have pledged to work to resolve remaining problems from the conflict — such as finding those still missing — occasional diplomatic spats have marred the postwar efforts. Serbia's populist authorities have insisted that Croatia's government has not done enough to acknowledge its World War II past, while Zagreb accuses Serbia of using the issue for internal politics and refusing to deal with own role in the 1990s' war.
“We see this as a provocation," Grlic Radman said. He added “such a visit is not sincere, it is not about honoring the victims" of the Jasenovac camp, where tens of thousands of Croatia's Serbs, Jews and Roma perished in brutal executions during the WWII rule of the pro-Nazi authorities.
Vucic, a former ultranationalist who supported the Serb rebellion in Croatia in the 1990s, has scheduled a press conference for Monday. He responded Sunday in an Instagram post featuring a photo of the Jasenovac monument.
“You (Croatia) just do your job! The Serbian people will live and never forget!” said Vucic. | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/diplomatic-spat-erupts-between-balkan-rivals-serbia-croatia/Q2B2XECMLBAEZOAZTQO7AY3GKQ/ | 2022-07-17T13:22:10Z | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/diplomatic-spat-erupts-between-balkan-rivals-serbia-croatia/Q2B2XECMLBAEZOAZTQO7AY3GKQ/ | true |

Gifts are a significant part of Boulder’s history. Many are familiar with land gifted to the state to secure the University in the mid-1870s, and monetary donations to the Chamber of Commerce to purchase land to give to the U.S. government for the National Bureau of Standards in 1950.
Many bequests were given to the city as well.
Long before Boulder voters approved an open space tax in 1967, parkland was donated. The U.S. government gave 1,800 acres to the city for mountain parks in 1899.
In 1908, Dr. William Baird donated 160 acres for Baird Park, which begins at the bridge at Gregory Canyon.
Hannah Barker donated land for downtown Barker Park in 1911. C.C. Buckingham gave Boulder Falls Park in 1914 and later added 100 additional acres for Buckingham Park in Left Hand Canyon in 1929.
The Boulder Woman’s Club, which was made up of wives of leading citizens, made quite a few donations for beauty and culture. The club, organized in 1900, gave money for trees and shrubs at Chautauqua Park and money for children’s books and artwork for the library. They gave an automobile for the city nurse in 1918 and trees for Central Park in 1923.
Boulder was one of many cities that benefited from the nationwide philanthropy of industrialist Andrew Carnegie. He donated funds for a library building in 1906.
Two units of the Civilian Conservation Corps benefited mountain parks. The CCC was one of President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs that put young men to work during the Great Depression. In 1933, the first unit constructed Chapman Drive, named for the Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior Oscar Chapman.
A second CCC group built the Flagstaff (now named Sunrise) Amphitheater, Green Mountain Lodge and portions of Flagstaff Road, among other projects. In a formal ceremony, the amphitheater was presented as a gift to the city in March 1934, followed by the presentation of Chapman Road in March 1935.
Other Depression-era gifts transpired. In 1937, William Beach gave 20 lots to the city for a park in the University Place addition for neighborhood children along with funds for landscaping. Two years later he donated two additional lots for the park.
The Lions Club gave the art deco band shell in 1938, now an architectural landmark. The club also donated amenities for other parks, including drinking fountains, picnic facilities and shelters.
Perhaps one of the most unusual donations was a gift for the future.
In 1922 the same Dr. Baird who donated mountain park land, incorporated a foundation with a few hundred dollars to benefit the city. Baird speculated that if the principal were left to grow for 300 years, his bequest would amount to $24 quadrillion dollars, according to his 1934 obituary. The fund will provide for any city improvements necessary such as a hospital, support for the library and public schools, a symphony, an art museum, a natural history museum and payment of municipal taxes. If the foundation still exists, Boulder will have to wait 200 years to reap those benefits.

Man from Kannur under observation for monkeypox
A 31-year-old man who came from abroad with symptoms of monkeypox is undergoing treatment at the Kannur Government Medical College Hospital.
According to District Medical Officer Narayan Naik, the man was admitted to the hospital on Saturday. He is being monitored and swab samples have been sent for testing. The hospital is yet to receive the test results.
The person arrived from Dubai via Mangaluru airport recently. He is currently under observation in a special isolation room at the hospital.
Monkeypox was first confirmed on July 14 in a Kollam native who had arrived from abroad. The disease can only be transmitted by prolonged close contact with the patient.
The Health department said that those with symptoms should immediately seek treatment at nearby hospitals and self-quarantine to avoid spreading the disease to others.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — One of the best opportunities for Democrats to regain a governor’s office this year is in Maryland, and the race to succeed term-limited Republican Larry Hogan has drawn a crowd of candidates. Winning back the seat shouldn't seem so tough for Democrats in a state where they outnumber Republicans by a 2-1 ratio, but the GOP has won three of the past five elections.
Nationwide, Republicans hold a 28-22 edge in governor's seats. Of the 36 governor’s races this year, Maryland and Massachusetts represent the best chances for Democrats to narrow the gap.
Maryland Democrats see an opening now because the popular Hogan, only the second Republican governor to win reelection in the state history, cannot seek a third term.
That’s attracted prominent Democrats to Tuesday’s primary, including members of former President Barack Obama’s Cabinet: onetime Labor Secretary Tom Perez, who also was chairman of the Democratic Party, and ex-Education Secretary John King.
Also in the race are Wes Moore, a bestselling author supported by Oprah Winfrey; Comptroller Peter Franchot, the state’s tax collector, who has name recognition in Maryland from four successful statewide races; and former state Attorney General Doug Gansler.
The primary winner will probably face either Kelly Schulz, a Republican endorsed by Hogan, or Dan Cox, who is backed by Donald Trump.
Given some of the GOP successes over the past two decades, Democratic voters are thinking more carefully about who can win in November.
Nancy Duden, 61, voted early in Annapolis, for Perez. It was a decision she struggled over during the drive to the voting center.
“Sometimes there aren’t very good choices, and this time there were so many good choices that I think people really need to pay attention to the qualifications of each candidate,” she said. “But I also think you have to give thought to who can actually win.”
Democrats once held the governor's mansion for more than three straight decades. When Republican Robert Ehrlich won in 2002, he was the first in his party to be governor in 36 years — since Spiro Agnew in 1966.
A poll last month by the Sarah T. Hughes Center for Politics at Goucher, The Baltimore Banner and WYPR found no clear front-runner among the Democrats, with Franchot at 16% and Moore and Perez each at 14%.
The primary comes less than a month after a new Maryland law approved by the Democratic-controlled legislature took effect to expand abortion access. It was passed in anticipation of the Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade, which the justices did in June.
Less than a week later, Hogan directed the Maryland State Police to suspend the state’s “good and substantial reason” standard for permits to carry handguns after the Supreme Court struck down a similar New York law.
The Supreme Court also limited the reach of the nation’s main air pollution law that’s used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants — a blow to environmentally conscious Maryland, home to the Chesapeake Bay, the nation's largest estuary.
“We've got to keep Republicans away from the Statehouse,” said Doug McLaine, 78, who voted early in Annapolis for Moore and expressed concern about the gun ruling as the nation confronts a wave of mass shootings.
Moore, a former Army combat veteran who served in Afghanistan and former CEO of a national anti-poverty group, said the high court's rulings have illustrated how “massively important” it is for Democrats to regain the governor's office.
“Governors matter in this moment, now more than ever before, because governors are really a last line of defense that many constituents are going to have against just barbaric rulings that we’re seeing from this Supreme Court," Moore told The Associated Press.
Perez, who also served as assistant attorney general for civil rights during the Obama administration and was a county council member in Maryland's most populous jurisdiction in the suburbs of the nation's capital, said it's more important than ever for states to set the tone on crucial issues such as job creation, clean energy, health care and reproductive health.
“There are so many ways that we can set example for the rest of the country, and I think Maryland is one of the top opportunities to flip a seat from red to blue," Perez said.
While Democrats who control Maryland's legislature have been able to override many of Hogan's vetoes over the years, the governor has had impact. For example, he recently blocked a request to accelerate $3.5 million in annual spending for training to expand the number of people who can provide abortions in the state.
Franchot, who has kept an amiable working relationship with Hogan on a powerful state spending panel with three voting members, had urged Hogan to release the money.
“I think that should have been done immediately," Franchot said.
Gansler, who lost the Democratic primary in 2014 to then-Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who went on to lose to Hogan, said the past two elections have illustrated the dangers of choosing a Democrat who is too liberal.
“In order to truly fight climate change and bring back the Chesapeake Bay, we need to have a Democrat in office, and we cannot commit political suicide again by electing a Democrat in the primary who cannot win in the general election," Gansler said.
King, a progressive Democrat, said he believes the party has a great opportunity to flip the governor's office.
“In order to do that we need a candidate who’s going to inspire folks across the Democratic Party, and particularly inspire young people, people of color and people who are outraged by the Supreme Court decisions on abortion access and gun safety, and I think I’m the best positioned to do that," King said.
Jon Baron, a former nonprofit executive, and Ashwani Jain, a former official in Obama’s administration, also are running. Rushern Baker, a former Prince George’s County executive, announced he has suspended his campaign, though he is still appearing on the ballot. Jerome Segal, an activist, and Ralph Jaffe, a retired teacher, also are on the ballot.

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — North Macedonia has approved a French proposal that opens the way for negotiations to join the European Union and overcome Bulgarian objections.
There were 68 votes in favor of the proposal in the 120-member chamber, with the leftist coalition, which has 61 seats, getting the backing of small ethnic Albanian parties. Opposition lawmakers left the chamber in protest, abstaining from the vote.
Protesters gathered again outside Parliament, as they have done every day for 10 days, but the protest ended peacefully.
Under the proposal, announced by French President Emmanuel Macron last month, North Macedonia would commit to changing its constitution to recognize a Bulgarian minority, protect minority rights and banish hate speech, as Bulgaria, an EU member since 2007, has demanded.
The deal would also unblock the start of negotiations for neighboring Albania, another EU hopeful.
Macron had stressed that the proposal doesn’t question the official existence of a Macedonian language, but he had noted that, like all deals, it “rests on compromises and on a balance.”
But revising the constitution may prove too high a hurdle, since that requires a two-thirds majority, or 80 votes. The main opposition party, the center-right VMRO-DPMNE, and its allies, as well as a small leftist party, with 46 seats among them, have declared they will never agree to change the constitution.
Later Saturday, after a cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski announced that North Macedonia will start accession talks with EU on July 19.
“With this, we conclude another objectively historical step for our country. We have a negotiating framework in which the Macedonian language and identity are protected,” he said.
The country’s ruling coalition has backed the proposal as a reasonable compromise that doesn’t endanger national interests or identity, while the opposition has denounced it a national betrayal that caves in to Bulgaria’s questioning North Macedonia’s history, language, identity, culture and heritage.
The French proposal has also roiled Bulgaria, where Prime Minister Kiril Petkov has accepted it. His centrist government was toppled in a no-confidence vote on June 22 when allies described Petkov’s willingness to lift the veto of North Macedonia into the EU as a “national betrayal.”
EU and US leaders welcomed North Macedonia’s decision to back the deal.
Charles Michel, president of the European Council, called the parliament’s vote “a crucial step for North Macedonia and the EU. Our future is together and we welcome you with open arms.”
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said “this decision comes at a critical moment for North Macedonia, the Western Balkans, and Europe.”
“A European Union that includes all of the Western Balkans, including Albania and North Macedonia, will be stronger and more prosperous. Now is the time to build momentum,” Blinken said in a statement.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama also hailed North Macedonian parliament’s decision, which also opens the way for EU talks for his country too.
“This is not the end of the road but only the beginning of a new part of the road we want Albania to be in,” he said.

Are Amberen or Estroven menopause relief supplements best?
Perimenopause and menopause can be challenging stages in a woman’s life because they bring a plethora of uncomfortable symptoms and have no predictable beginning or end date. Menopause supplements have been developed to mitigate these symptoms and make them less debilitating. Still, there are many different types of supplements and lots of conflicting information about which ingredients do and do not work. Amberen and Estroven are two of the most popular menopause relief supplements, although they approach the problem differently.
Things to know about Amberen
Amberen is a clinically-tested menopause supplement uniquely designed to support your endocrine glands. These are hormone-producing organs that include your ovaries, thyroid, hypothalamus and adrenals and they can be adversely affected by menopause. Amberen combines antioxidants (succinates), amino acids, minerals and vitamin E to restore balance to your hormone levels, thereby relieving symptoms such as sudden weight gain and hot flashes. It is 100% free of hormones, soy, stimulants and additives, although it does contain some synthetic ingredients.
Amberen is available in two slightly different versions, one for menopause and one for perimenopause. Both formulas contain the same ingredients, but the perimenopause supplement also contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, folate and B12.
The supplements are sold in 60-capsule bottles with a dosage of two capsules a day. Amberen is available starting at $75 for a three-month supply (about $25 per month).
Amberen pros
- Amberen claims to relieve up to 12 menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, low energy, weight gain, stress, irritability, head and joint aches, insomnia, low libido and difficulty concentrating.
- It is a unique formula designed to help regulate hormone production, chemical reactions and brain cell activity and act as an antioxidant.
- It contains Zinc which boosts metabolism.
- Amberen works within the first month, with clinically significant results occurring between 30 and 90 days.
- No adverse side effects were reported in three clinical trials on perimenopausal and menopausal women.
Amberen cons
- Some reviewers describe Amberen as giving them no relief from symptoms.
- Amberen contains a small amount of monosodium L-glutamate, which many women find off-putting and may cause a mild reaction in some people.
- Amberen’s proprietary formula doesn’t reveal how much of each ingredient is in each dose. This may adversely affect women sensitive to a specific ingredient, such as zinc or magnesium, or who aren’t getting enough of those ingredients.
Things to know about Estroven
Estroven is an all-natural, organic supplement that works to reduce all menopause symptoms. Since menopause symptoms vary widely, Estroven offers six different targeted formulas:
- Estroven Complete Menopause Relief
- Estroven Menopause Relief Weight Management
- Estroven Menopause Relief Sleep Cool
- Estroven Menopause Relief Mood Boost
- Estroven Menopause Relief Stress and Energy Boost
The main ingredients in Estroven supplements are Black Cohosh, Soy Isoflavones (except for Estroven Complete) and Rhapontic Rhubarb extract. Along with magnolia bark, melatonin, ginkgo biloba and synetrim CQ, many of these ingredients have been independently tested for efficacy in clinical trials.
Estroven is sold in 28 caplet bottles with a serving size of one caplet per day and is available starting at for $19.
Estroven pros
- Estroven is hormone, gluten, GMO and MSG-free.
- It uses all-natural, vegan ingredients.
- In clinical trials, rhapontic rhubarb reduced the frequency of hot flashes by 80% and anxiety by 61%.
- For most women, it works within the first month.
Estroven cons
- Some women found that Estroven didn’t relieve any symptoms. In a few rare cases, women reported starting their period again after being period-free for a year.
- Per Examine.com, what few blind studies have been conducted on the efficacy of black cohosh without any other compounds, have yielded mixed results.
- Some women experience stomach upset and nausea from taking Estroven, possibly attributable to the black cohosh or rhubarb.
Should you get Amberen or Estroven?
Both Amberen and Estroven contain ingredients that are well established in providing relief for menopause symptoms, but they have their problems too. Amberen contains several synthetic ingredients and small amounts of MSG, and its proprietary formula hides dosages. Estroven is completely natural, but negative reviews describe either getting no relief or having an adverse reaction to the soy, black cohosh or rhubarb. Estroven is marginally cheaper and has the advantage of being only one pill per day instead of two with Amberen. Many women have found relief from symptoms after taking one or other of these supplements. As with any new supplement, be sure to check with your doctor before you start a different regime to get their advice on which formula is better suited to your specific symptoms.

No shooting on Las Vegas Strip despite mass panic at casinos, outside hotels: police
Las Vegas police say a glass door shattered, causing a loud noise and stirring panic
No shooting unfolded on the Las Vegas Strip overnight, police say, despite crowds panicking over what was believed to be the sound of gunfire, sending droves running across casino floors and outside hotels.
Reports of a shooting near the MGM Hotel Saturday night are unfounded, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department tweeted.
"Initial reports are a glass door shattered causing a loud noise which startled people in the valet area," the department said.
Photos shared on social media showed security outside the front valet entrance of the MGM. A shattered door could be seen, as well as several large rocks on the ground.
DENVER OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING AMID BAR CROWD LEAVES SUSPECT, OTHERS SERIOUSLY INJURED
Additional videos shared online showed crowds running across casino floors and onto the street. One video showed officers with their guns drawn running toward the New York, New York sign outside, as crowds fled in the opposite direction.
Addressing reporters at the scene, Las Vegas police Capt. Brandon Clarkson said the person believed to have broken the glass door was detained on suspicion of destruction of property, KSNV reported.
One person suffered minor injuries after taking a fall during the initial panic, police said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Las Vegas Police Department for more information. A police watch commander denied unsubstantiated social media reports claiming the incident was any sort of premeditated prank or attack.
He said the incident only occurred at the MGM, but panic spread to other casinos.
MGM Grand Hotel later tweeted that operations at MGM Grand and all Strip properties were continuing as usual.
"Rumors of shots fired at Bally’s/Paris/WSOP are false," the World Series of Poker account tweeted. "We implore players using social media to be responsible and not spread rumors creating panic."

CLEVELAND, Tenn. (AP) — Every night, Leslie Bennett takes her cellphone and writes down her thoughts — about the day, about life in general, about her relationship with God, and about her family. With some prodding by friends, she has taken those thoughts and put them in a book.
“From Blog to Blessing” is Bennett’s first attempt at publishing a book. The 134-page book was born from writings that Bennett began after her mother’s 2018 death.
“I’d always wanted to write a book, but I never knew how,” she said. “I guess I thought that I’d write a book about kids, what kids say. People would often say that I bet you could write a book.”
It would have seemed natural for Bennett to write a book either about children or for children, as she has been a kindergarten assistant for more than 30 years in Bradley County Schools.
But, it was her mother’s death in March 2018 that led to her putting her thoughts to paper … actually, to her phone, each day. That turned into a blog, and now a book.
“I found that writing helped me through the grieving process after my mom passed away,” Bennett said, “and I had always heard that if you think you want to write a book that you should write a little bit every day.
“So I started a blog, and I would write something every day. And I would post them on my Facebook page. And people would call me and say you need to put this in a devotional book. I would just put a little smiley face (in my reply) and say, maybe someday.”
It was two men at the Church of God Publishing House — Homer Rhea and Jerry Puckett — who ended up persuading Bennett to make a book of her blog entries.
“I had worked as a proofreader and a copy editor, but I had no idea what it took to have a book published,” Bennett remembered. “So, Homer said, ’well, just send me some of your stuff, and I started sending it to him, but didn’t know how much to send. I had written so much, this could be a really thick book.”
Rhea, who actually performed the wedding ceremony for Bennett and her husband, Steve, proofed the material, then sent it to Puckett for printing. Though Bennett said she didn’t have any knowledge of what the book should entail, or look like, she did have one request — that a redbird be on the cover.
“The day my mother died, my dad called me and she had already passed. She was at Signature (Healthcare), so I went up there. As the man from Companion (Funeral Home) was taking to my dad, I looked out the window where there was a shepherd’s hook where the birdseed could be placed, and where my mom could enjoy watching the birds.
“I was standing there, and I had tears streaming down my face, and I looked out the window and this redbird just flew, as pretty as you please, and landed on top of that shepherd’s hook and was looking right at me. I knew it was there for me, to let me know everything was going to be OK. I’ve always heard that people say when you see a redbird, that means a loved one is near, so I knew that I had to have a redbird on the front of my book.”
There are 105 chapters in “From Blog to Blessing,” but each of them is no more than two pages, and most are only one page. Many of the passages include either a piece of Scripture from the Bible, or a prayer by Bennett.
Yet, even though they contain spiritual connections, the titles of the chapters also aim to make readers smile ⏤ “Jeep Hair: Don’t Care,” “Adulting Can Be Difficult,” “Monday Morning Mulligrubs,” and “A Pat of Butter and a Drizzle of Honey,” interspersed with “I Trust Him with my Future,” Pray Diligently” and “His Plans Never Fail.”
“Sometimes something will happen during the day and it’ll be like, that’s what I’m writing. Sometimes when I’m out and about I’ll make pictures with my phone and then look at those pictures and something will come to me and I will write about that.”
At first she had 100 books printed, and they sold out almost immediately with more readers lining up. The second printing of 100 also went quick and now the book is available through a third printing.
In fact, she will have a special book signing with books available at Lasater’s on Ocoee Street, right across from the Bradley County Courthouse, from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, July 16.
“Who knows, I will probably write about the book-signing that night, on my phone,” Bennett said with a smile. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Tennessee-author-puts-nighttime-writings-into-book-17310475.php | 2022-07-17T14:23:33Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Tennessee-author-puts-nighttime-writings-into-book-17310475.php | false |
When Pennsylvanians woke up last week to the news that they could soon be voting on whether the state should declare there is no right to an abortion here, they weren’t the only ones.
States regained discretion over abortion laws as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last month that overturned the constitutional right to an abortion. Now, lawmakers across the country are rushing to amend their constitutions to prohibit — or protect — abortion rights.
Pennsylvania is one of at least seven states that has advanced a constitutional amendment, or is considering doing so, in order to declare that there is no right to an abortion, according to a Post-Gazette analysis. Five other states — including Delaware, California and New York — are working to codify that any individual has the right to receive an abortion.
Voters in three states — West Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana — have already approved amendments to their constitutions to declare that it’s their state policy that a person’s life begins at conception, or that there is no right to an abortion there. Now, all three of these states have some of the most restrictive abortion bans in the country. (Louisiana’s ban is currently on hold by a state judge.)
“The competition over what the law will be has been reset in light of the Dobbs decision,” said Todd Belt, the director of George Washington University’s political management program. “It’s going to take a while for the courts to figure out what the Dobbs decision really means in terms of what a state can legislate.”
Members of Pennsylvania’s GOP-controlled General Assembly advanced five constitutional amendments that could appear before voters as early as May 2023, one of which would declare: “There is no constitutional right to taxpayer-funded abortion or other rights relating to abortion.” The amendment must pass the Legislature again in next legislative session before reaching the voters.
The amendment would not outright ban abortions in Pennsylvania. Abortions will remain accessible to people up to 24 weeks of a pregnancy, per the state’s Abortion Control Act.
GOP state lawmakers have said this language is necessary to prevent Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court from interpreting the state constitution. The amendment’s author Sen. Judy Ward, R-Blair, has insisted that nothing would happen to the state’s current abortion law if this amendment is approved by voters.
The state’s highest court has the potential to do so in a 2019 case before it now, Allegheny Reproductive Health Center et al. v. Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services. This case mainly challenges the state’s ban on using Medicaid funds for abortions, but lawmakers and experts have looked to the case as having the potential to rule on whether abortion is a constitutional right in Pennsylvania.
In some states, such as Florida, the court has stepped in to interpret the constitution prior to Roe v. Wade being overturned. For example, the Florida Supreme Court has consistently ruled that abortion restrictions infringe on the state constitution’s right to privacy provisions. This puts Florida’s 15-week abortion ban into question, in the absence to any specific language in the constitution that says whether an abortion is a right in the state.
Pennsylvania Democratic lawmakers and abortion access advocates have attacked the amendment proposal as an effort to limit a person’s bodily autonomy. Constitutional amendments cannot be vetoed by a governor. Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, has vetoed at least four anti-abortion bills since taking office in 2015.
“Yes, this amendment does not explicitly and immediately ban abortion,” said Rep. Emily Kinkead, D-Brighton Heights, during last week’s debate. “But it’s a pathway, and to say otherwise is a lie.”
Amending the state constitution to prohibit abortion does three things for state lawmakers, Belt said. For one, it can take years to get a question on the ballot — though the exact process varies from state to state.
“That means the law will stay on the books for a while before there can be another referendum to overturn it,” Belt added.
Constitutional amendments are also taken most seriously when judges or justices are considering a case, Belt said.
Lastly, using the constitutional amendment process — and thus, punting the decision to the voters — “gets lawmakers off the hook,” Belt added.
“If they kick it to the voters, then they don’t have to be responsible for explaining their vote to their constituents,” he added.
Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward, R-Hempfield, made a similar claim from the Senate floor last week.
“We don’t know how this is going to go,” she said. “It could go either way.”
For Kelly Davis, who leads the Pittsburgh-based, Black-led abortion advocacy group New Voices for Reproductive Justice, she already knows how this amendment would go if it appears on the May 2023 ballot in Pennsylvania, a municipal primary election that traditionally has the lowest turnout of any election.
Last Call
“Constitutional amendments that go up during primary seasons are often a strategy used to limit the agency of people who experience structural challenges to voting,” such as working an hourly job or lacking childcare, Davis said.
“If a constitutional amendment passes here, it could have a really direct impact on the health of people across Pennsylvania,” Davis said. “We’ve already seen what it has done in Ohio.”
Ohio banned abortions six weeks from conception. Davis mentioned the case of a 10-year-old rape victim, who had to travel from Ohio to Indiana earlier this month to receive an abortion.
“We know that children, folks that are poor, Black women, Black queer people will continue to pay the price,” she added.

Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. is nearing a deal to acquire Suncorp Group Ltd.’s banking operations as it seeks to add customer growth, according to people familiar with the matter.
An announcement could be made as soon as this week and the lender will seek to tap equity markets with a share sale to help fund the potential takeover, said the people, who asked not to be named as the matter remained confidential. A deal could value the smaller Brisbane-based business at close to A$5.6 billion ($3.81 billion), one of the people said.
Adding Suncorp’s banking assets would be another step to bolster customer growth by ANZ, which confirmed last week it is also discussing the purchase of MYOB Group Ltd. an Australian accounting software business.
There is no certainty ANZ and Suncorp will agree to a deal and talks could still fall apart, the people said.
Representatives for ANZ and Suncorp declined to comment.
Suncorp confirmed last month it was reviewing strategic alternatives for its banking operations. Banking and wealth accounted for 14% of full-year revenue in fiscal 2021, down on the previous 12 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The unit is an attractive target for other lenders because of its higher exposure than most Australian peers to retail customers and to Queensland state, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Matt Ingram and Jack Baxter wrote last month. Selling the unit to become a pure-play insurer would boost Suncorp’s profitability, they said.
