Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine to start classes Aug. 1 in downtown Wichita
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - The new medical school in downtown Wichita is ready for students. The Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine is set to start classes for the first time Monday, Aug. 1. The push to build the facility was based on a primary care shortage in Kansas.
Interim Dean David Ninan said classes will have a minimum of 20 students. He said it’s presumed local students are going to stay in the state to address the need.
“At the end of the day, the goal is to increase the supply of physicians to Kansas, in particularly the underserved areas,” Ninan said.
The new medical school in downtown Wichita has three classrooms, as well as labs and multiple student workrooms. One of the goals is to emulate practices physicians would have, with a heavy emphasis on simulation at the school.

St Mirren keeper Trevor Carson will be available for the cinch Premiership opener against Motherwell in Paisley on Sunday.
It was feared the Northern Ireland international’s knee injury would be long-term but boss Stephen Robinson welcomed the news that he is back in action.
Curtis Main has trained for the last two weeks following a summer medical procedure and fellow striker Eamonn Brophy will train again on Friday after a minor fitness issue and Robinson will assess both for possible involvement.
Academy director Steven Hammell will take temporary charge of Motherwell following the departure of Graham Alexander and assistant manager Chris Lucketti.
Hammell will have a day to assess his squad following Thursday’s Europa Conference League exit in Sligo.

An eight-year-old football fan who has been gifted a ticket for the European Championship Final said feels “really lucky” after watching the Lionesses “inspire a lot young girls” across the country.
A keen goalkeeper for her local team, Evie Jackson, and her father, Matt, 30, have been avidly following the tournament after making trips to Leeds United’s Elland Road and St George’s Park to see England play.
Mr Jackson appealed on Twitter to find tickets for the anticipated final against Germany at Wembley on Sunday and said he had nearly given up hope when a stranger contacted him to offer two tickets free of charge.
“I feel really lucky and I didn’t know what was happening because I thought it was going to be fake,” Evie, who lives with her father in Leigh, near Manchester, told the PA news agency.
“I was so excited when I heard that we got the tickets, I was crying because I thought that we wouldn’t have been able to go.
“I think that they’ve set up women’s football and it is crazy to see how far women’s football has come.
“It also inspires a lot of young girls that might want to play football but might not feel confident, now they have a chance.”
Mr Jackson, an operations manager at a bank, coaches Evie’s Astley & Tyldesley under-10’s team.
He admitted to first being sceptical of “something that sounds too good to be true”.
“Why would somebody do that?” he said.
“As soon as we got off the phone, he said, ‘send me your email address and I’ll transfer the tickets over the app’. And within a couple of minutes, there they were.
“They were category one tickets, as well, which is the dearest ones you can get. Even now, I’m pinching myself, like, did that actually happen?”
Pictures that Mr Jackson posted on Twitter shows the user telling the father-of-two: “Your kid looks super excited too. I have an adult and child ticket. You can have them for free.”
Mr Jackson said he was “pretty overwhelmed” by the man’s generosity, who he explained had sold football tickets a few years ago and making money from them “didn’t really leave him feeling very fulfilled”.
“For a guy that you’ve never even met before to give you tickets, going for hundreds, maybe, thousands online, some of the best tickets you can probably get, I’m just really humbled and my daughter is absolutely over the moon,” he said.
“Obviously, it’s more for Evie and the experience that I know that she’ll have.”
Mr Jackson said Evie was “screaming with excitement” when she found out the two were going to make the game.
“I’d already sat her down that day and said, ‘Look, I’ve done everything I can, I’ve tried my best, I’m really sorry but it’s just not possible’,” he said.
“(When showing her the tickets), she thought I was lying to her because you know how clever kids are these days. I showed her the pictures and she was like, ‘that could be a screenshot of anything, dad’.
“And then she just jumps on the floor and nearly burst out crying, screaming with excitement.
“I don’t think it’s really sunk in for her much yet, she’s never been to Wembley.
“When we’re walking down Wembley way, in terms of football I don’t think there’s anything bigger than going to watch your heroes in a final at Wembley.”
The act of kindness has “restored faith in humanity” for Mr Jackson, who said the tournament has had a huge effect on Evie’s team and their enjoyment of the sport.
“All the girls at training last night are just really into it so much. They’re all watching the games, they all want to know who we’re playing, they’re all talking about who their favourite players are,” he said.
“I’d probably say a couple of years back, you wouldn’t even (have) known who any of the players are, but they’ve become household names more or less overnight.”
“For people to be saying, ‘Look, I can’t get a ticket to a women’s national game now’ just shows how far the sport has come probably even these last three weeks.”
Evie added she is particularly excited to see one of her favourite players, Ella Toone, who used to play for Evie’s team when she was a young girl.
She and her father have a hotel booked for Sunday and are confident the Lionesses will emerge victorious.
“2-1 to England,” Evie predicted. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3546169/football-mad-evie-8-over-the-moon-to-be-gifted-euro-tickets-by-stranger/ | 2022-07-30T01:34:18Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3546169/football-mad-evie-8-over-the-moon-to-be-gifted-euro-tickets-by-stranger/ | true |
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Bronze statues of mythical methamphetamine cookers Walter White and Jesse Pinkman were installed at a convention center in Albuquerque on Friday to celebrate the “Breaking Bad” TV series and its entertainment legacy, winning applause in a city that played its own gritty supporting role.
Local politicians including Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller mixed with “Breaking Bad” stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and director Vince Gilligan to help unveil the artwork, donated by Gilligan and Sony Pictures.
The 2008-2013 show and its ongoing prequel “Better Call Saul” helped fuel a renaissance in filmmaking across New Mexico, while also cutting close to Albuquerque’s real-life struggles with drug addiction and crime.
Gilligan said he recognized that the statues of “two fictional, infamous meth dealers” won’t be universally cherished in New Mexico.
“In all seriousness, no doubt some folks are going to say, ‘Wow, just what our city needed.’ And I get that,” Gillian said. “I see two of the finest actors America has ever produced. I see them, in character, as two larger-than-life tragic figures, cautionary tales.”
Still a fixture on Netflix, AMC’s “Breaking Bad” follows the fictional underworld trajectory of a high-school science teacher, played by Cranston, and a former student, played by Paul, as they team up to produce and distribute meth amid violent, cliffhanger plot twists.
The show and its iconic lead characters already are lionized on T-shirts and airport merchandise, while tour guides in Albuquerque shepherd fans to former film locations in a replica of the RV from the show that doubled as a meth lab.
New Mexico has long struggled against the toll of addiction, with more than 43,000 deaths linked to alcohol and drug overdoses in the last three decades. Albuquerque also currently contends with a record-setting spate of homicides.
Surging overdose deaths from meth and fentanyl surpassed heroin and prescription opioids as the leading causes of drug overdose deaths across the state in 2020.
Keller heralded the positive economic impact of “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” on Albuquerque, acknowledging the dollars and delight it brings to a city he jokingly called “Tamale-wood.”
“While the stories might be fictional … jobs are real every single day,” Keller said. “The city is also a character. … We see ourselves in so many ways, good and bad.”
Republican state Rep. Rod Montoya of Farmington said he admires Cranston as an actor but that the statues bring the wrong kind of attention.
“I’m glad New Mexico got the business, but really?” Montoya said. “We’re going down the road of literally glorifying meth makers?”
He also questioned the logic of the tribute after Albuquerque in June 2020 removed a statue of Spanish conqueror Juan de Oñate.
Demonstrators tried to topple that bronze artwork in denunciation of Oñate’s brutal treatment of Native Americans roughly 500 years ago. A fight that broke out at the protest resulted in gunfire that injured one man.
New Mexico politicians, including Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, have pinned their hopes on the film industry to boost economic opportunity in a state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation.
New Mexico’s film and TV industry recently hit a new production peak, with record-setting in-state spending of $855 million for the fiscal year ending in June. Recent video projects drawn to the state include the Netflix series “Stranger Things.”
New Mexico offers a rebate of between 25% and 35% of in-state spending for video production that helps filmmakers large and small underwrite their work. Incentive payments crested at $148 million in 2019. | https://www.kron4.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/breaking-bad-statues-shine-light-on-actors-albuquerque/ | 2022-07-30T01:35:05Z | https://www.kron4.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/breaking-bad-statues-shine-light-on-actors-albuquerque/ | true |
(The Hill) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk confidentiality filed a countersuit against Twitter, after the company sued him for terminating a deal to buy the social media platform for $44 billion earlier this month, according to multiple news reports.
The Friday countersuit was not made publicly available. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment to The Hill on the development.
Sources familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal Musk counterclaims that the number of monetizable daily active users was changed by Twitter before the deal was expected to go through.
People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that the allegation that the number of monetizable daily active users was changed by Twitter after the deal was agreed upon. In addition, the Journal reported Musk claimed that Twitter did not respond when the SpaceX CEO’s team made inquiries on spam number data were not sufficiently answered by the social media company, according to the Journal.
Musk’s counsel argued that Twitter violated their agreement on several counts, including that: the social media company had fired two executives and therefore went against their agreement; Twitter did not share adequate information regarding bots on Twitter’s platform, and they made incorrect statements regarding bots on their site.
Days after Musk terminated the deal, the social media company filed a lawsuit against the billionaire.
“These claims are pretexts and lack any merit,” Twitter’s lawsuit claimed. “Musk, by contrast, has been acting against this deal since the market started turning, and has breached the merger agreement repeatedly in the process.”

HAIKOU, China, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the second China International Consumer Products Expo ("CICPE" or "Hainan Expo") welcomes 2,800 boutique brands from 61 countries and regions, Sanya, the popular resort city on Hainan Island's southern tip, showcased the city's possibilities and potential as a tourism destination combined with fashionable elements through its theme day on July 28 at the largest consumer boutique exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Sanya Day event was organized by the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development (Hainan IEDB) and co-organized by the Sanya Tourism Promotion Board (STPB). It aimed to cultivate new businesses and promote culture exchange for tourism consumption while encouraging international partners to explore the potential of this "tourism + culture" destination in China.
Fashion show brings Hong Kong designer brands to a top tourist destination
Hainan Expo provides unlimited business opportunities for international brands to explore the Chinese market, while introducing China's fashionable products to consumers across the globe. The Sanya Day event, which was an important part of the Hainan Expo Fashion Week, featured three debut shows from Hong Kong boutique and pioneering designer brands, including Ribyeung, BronzeLucia, and KINGWEN, with elements covering leisure, vacation, youth, and nature.
The cooperation with the Hong Kong designers echoes Sanya's commitment to expanding this business and establishing a long-term collaboration mechanism with international premium and emerging brands with the ambition of bringing travelers more fashion experiences.
While promoting Sanya as a fashionable and trendy tourism option, the show also presented Sanya as an open and diverse international destination and called for mutual cooperation with Hong Kong and the international community.
Fashion as a new approach to discovering the best of Sanya
At the event, STPB and Hainan IEDB signed a strategic cooperation agreement on the fashion sector, leveraging resources to land brand debuts and introduce the fashion cluster to Sanya. The signings will explore opportunities in Sanya's tourism market and future development opportunities in supporting future brand debuts and designer events as well as launching premium conferences and exhibitions.
An internationally renowned tourist destination, Sanya is undoubtedly the best medium for brands to enter the Chinese market given its diversified customer base. It is also an ideal option for travelers who would like to add more fashion-related experiences to their business or leisure trips, as Sanya keeps enhancing its competitiveness against the backdrop of the integrated free trade port policy and the popularity of tourism and leisure consumption scenarios.
"Sanya has been committed to developing partnerships and enriching its offering to serve the demands of various visitors. The idea of achieving win-win cooperation and deepening mutual exchange is the original intention of our participation in the Hainan Expo, as we hope to extend more possibilities of Sanya," said Albert Yip, director general of the STPB. "Building on the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Hainan Free Trade Port and taking the second Hainan Expo as an opportunity, we would like to extend an invitation to visitors from Hong Kong and other places across the world to explore the enormous potential in Sanya, to enjoy the unique experience here with a fashionable taste."

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Buying a car has been a bumpy road. Congress just approved a long-awaited investment that’s expected to smooth things over but relief won’t come overnight.
In the first five months of 2022, sales of new consumer cars and and trucks were down 25% in Virginia compared to the same time period in 2021, according to a review of S&P Global Polk registration data by Cox Automotive Analysis.
The problem has largely been driven by a shortage of semiconductors, which are also called chips, according to Ralston King with the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association. King said just one car could have 150 chips, which enable functions from heated seats to navigation services.
For well over a year, the shortage has had a noticeable impact at Richmond Ford Lincoln. King said the dealership would normally have 300 new cars and trucks on the lot but, currently, they’re down to roughly 20.
King said customers across the country are often waiting months to get behind the wheel of a new car or choosing to spend more money on a used one.
“We’re urging customers to have patience. It’s not the manufacturer’s fault. It’s not the dealer. This is just a supply issue that hopefully we’ll be able to come back from,” King said.
Senator Mark Warner, who led legislation to address the problem in Congress, said U.S. chip production has dropped off significantly over the years. He said America manufactured about 37% of semiconductors in the mid-1990s, compared to about 12% today.
Warner said Congress is putting $52 billion towards boosting chip manufacturing and research. When it comes to innovation and technology, he called the legislation “one of the most significant pieces of legislation that the Congress has gotten to the president in years, if not decades.”
King said it should reduce the risk of another severe supply chain disruption.
“Lawmakers are realizing we can’t be caught flat-footed again because, if we have another pandemic or we have some other catastrophic issue, we can’t be relying on other countries to produce these chips,” King said.
Warner’s main fear is that major competitors, especially China, could cut off its chip supply, triggering a national security threat that would impact much more than cars. Warner said chips are also a critical component in phones, laptops, washing machines, medical devices and military equipment.
“We would not have a recession, we would have a depression,” Warner said.
As for the car business, Warner said the bill is a step toward fuller lots and lower price tags. He said it will send a signal to the market to boost production.
“Signing this legislation won’t solve this problem overnight. It will send a signal to the market that America will be back in the game,” Warner said.
Warner said the U.S. needs at least a dozen more chip manufacturing facilities to regain control over the supply chain.
Senator Tim Kaine is hoping to see another one in Virginia. The state already has one of these facilities in Manassas.
“There’s opportunities for expansion, but there’s also other sites in Virginia that could be very well-suited as America reclaims leadership in an industry that we once led, but that, sadly, other nations over the last 25 years have moved ahead of us,” Kaine said. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/regional/virginia/bill-that-boosts-chip-production-could-help-struggling-car-shoppers-but-not-right-away/ | 2022-07-30T01:40:10Z | https://www.wjhl.com/news/regional/virginia/bill-that-boosts-chip-production-could-help-struggling-car-shoppers-but-not-right-away/ | false |
Dear Car Talk:
Can a gas-powered car be converted to an electric car? I want to get an electric car but can’t justify trading in my 2016 Subaru Forester. It has only 20,000 miles on it and is in great shape.
Dear Car Talk:
Can a gas-powered car be converted to an electric car? I want to get an electric car but can’t justify trading in my 2016 Subaru Forester. It has only 20,000 miles on it and is in great shape.
I love the car but want to do my part to combat global warming. I don’t drive a lot, obviously. Most of my trips are less than 10 miles. Should I just bite the bullet and get an electric car?
— Amy
Start chomping, Amy.
Can a gas-powered car be converted to electric power? Sure. A giraffe can be converted into Salma Hayek if you have enough time and plastic surgeons. The question is: Is it worth the cost and trouble? And, at least in the case of your Subaru, the answer is no.
With used car values at an all-time high, you should just sell your 2016 Forester. Someone will be delighted to have a low-mileage, well-cared-for car, and you’ll get top dollar for it.
Then, with a clear conscience, you can go out and order the electric vehicle of your dreams exactly as you want it, so you don’t have to buy one off the lot and get stuck with $7,500 worth of options you don’t want.
Looking for a place to start? Of the affordable EVs we’ve test-driven recently, our favorites are the Kia EV6, Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
Dear Car Talk:
I have an Audi A8 L — marvelous car, obsolete in terms of electronics. Trade-in value is peanuts.
I’ve always wanted a convertible. I may be crazy, but ... could I whip out my Sawzall and cut away the roof? My dogs love the back seat. Plus, I have another car for rainy days and winter.
Cruising around in a topless A8 would be about as much fun as a 77-year-old guy could endure. Whatdayathink?
— Paul
Always check with your cardiologist before having that much fun, Paul. But I’d recommend against it.
Here’s why: Next time you get a delivery from Amazon, take the cardboard box and cut off all four of the top flaps.
Then grab it by two corners and see if you can reshape the box into parallelogram. Hint: You can.
That’s the danger of cutting off the roof of your old Audi. The roof is a key structural component of the car that keeps it “square.”
When companies make convertibles from the factory, they add all kinds of bracing and structural enhancements so that even without the roof, the corners maintain their 90-degree angles.
Structural integrity is, of course, particularly important if you crash.
I’m really sorry to ruin your fun, Paul. But if you ignore my advice and try it anyway, at least promise you’ll wear a crash helmet and an inflatable suit whenever you drive it.

Some people could really use an attitude adjustment, and when I say some people, I mean me.
I remember back to a conversation I had with a friend and they were so kind to listen to me vent. When I finished, they just looked at me with a smile and said, “I love you Sonny, but that’s what I’d call some Stinkin’ Thinkin’.”

Florida teen dead after 'accidentally' being shot by his friend in Casselberry, police say
CASSELBERRY, Fla. - In a newly released 911 call, you can hear a devastated and frantic mother telling a dispatcher that her 18-year-old son had just accidentally shot his 17-year-old friend.
Casselberry Police, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, and the Seminole County Fire Department responded to a home on Paddock Way late Thursday after the teen's mom reported the incident.
"He just told me he had accidentally killed his friend, and he is panicking," the mother told a dispatcher, "and I said, ‘Call 911 now!’ and he said, 'No, I can't.' I said, ‘Call 911!’ and then he hung up on me."
In the call, the mother also expressed concern that her son might harm himself. He had already left the scene by the time officers arrived but was quickly located not far from the home, police said. The teen who was shot, identified on Friday as Isaiah Santiago, was taken to the hospital, where he died.
The family of the teen who reportedly shot Santiago has said they wish to speak with an attorney prior to meeting with investigators, according to the Casselberry Police Department. Meanwhile, Casselberry homicide detectives are working closely with the Seminole County Medical Examiner’s Office to gather additional evidence. There have been no charges or arrests in this case, so the identity of the 18-year-old boy has not been released by investigators.

There have been several cases across Florida in recent months where children or young adults have unintentionally injured or killed themselves, a family member, or a close friend with an unsecured, loaded gun, police say.
"Heartbreakingly, many of these incidents result in death and forever change the lives of everyone involved," said Casselberry Police Chief Krantz.
Authorities said it is critical in any medical emergency that 911 be contacted immediately, prior to calling anyone else. The Casselberry Police Department encourages everyone to follow important gun safety practices and to keep loaded firearms locked up within the home. | https://www.wogx.com/news/officials-1-dead-after-shooting-at-casselberry-house | 2022-07-30T01:49:56Z | https://www.wogx.com/news/officials-1-dead-after-shooting-at-casselberry-house | false |
LANSING, Mich. — Former President Donald Trump on Friday endorsed Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s crowded Republican primary for governor, just days before voters choose an opponent to face Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Dixon, a conservative commentator, also has the backing of Michigan’s Right to Life, former Gov. John Engler and some of the state’s top legislative leaders. She also has financial support from a pair of super PACs with ties to DeVos, who is from Michigan.
Dixon has said she will fight to keep drag queens out of schools, and she opposes abortion, except to save the life of the mother. Dixon held a fundraiser at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in Florida earlier this year, where the former president called her “special.”
Dixon’s opponents include businessman Kevin Rinke, chiropractor Garrett Soldano and real estate broker Ryan Kelley, who was charged with misdemeanors for his actions during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Trump’s endorsement has sometimes been a difference-maker, and he’s frequently trumped the power of his backing. But he’s also suffered some high-profile setbacks with some of his choices.
Trump lost Michigan by about 154,000 votes in 2020, and multiple audits and courts — as well as an investigation by the Republican-led state Senate — have upheld that outcome. But all of the GOP governor candidates say there was fraud, and all but Rinke have said they believe the election was stolen from Trump.
Rinke and the Democratic Governors Association have both spent large sums of money running TV ads attacking Dixon in the lead-up to the primary.
Rinke’s TV ad claims Dixon is backed by the “RINO establishment’s leading never-Trumpers,” using the derisive acronym for “Republican in name only.”
The Democratic Governors Association’s $2 million ad buy pushes claims that Dixon’s budget plan would force widespread police officer layoffs; she has said that’s false.
“Obviously, they’re desperate to get me out of this. They don’t want me running against Gretchen,” Dixon told The Associated Press after the final GOP gubernatorial debate on Wednesday.
DeVos, in her letter Friday to Trump, said they should work together to elect Dixon, calling her “the only one that who can stand toe to toe with `that woman from Michigan,’” a term Trump used for Whitmer rather than calling her by name in 2020.
Whoever emerges from the Aug. 2 primary will face a tough battle against Whitmer, who has nearly $15 million set aside, more than all five Republicans combined.

HAIKOU, China, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the second China International Consumer Products Expo ("CICPE" or "Hainan Expo") welcomes 2,800 boutique brands from 61 countries and regions, Sanya, the popular resort city on Hainan Island's southern tip, showcased the city's possibilities and potential as a tourism destination combined with fashionable elements through its theme day on July 28 at the largest consumer boutique exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Sanya Day event was organized by the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development (Hainan IEDB) and co-organized by the Sanya Tourism Promotion Board (STPB). It aimed to cultivate new businesses and promote culture exchange for tourism consumption while encouraging international partners to explore the potential of this "tourism + culture" destination in China.
Fashion show brings Hong Kong designer brands to a top tourist destination
Hainan Expo provides unlimited business opportunities for international brands to explore the Chinese market, while introducing China's fashionable products to consumers across the globe. The Sanya Day event, which was an important part of the Hainan Expo Fashion Week, featured three debut shows from Hong Kong boutique and pioneering designer brands, including Ribyeung, BronzeLucia, and KINGWEN, with elements covering leisure, vacation, youth, and nature.
The cooperation with the Hong Kong designers echoes Sanya's commitment to expanding this business and establishing a long-term collaboration mechanism with international premium and emerging brands with the ambition of bringing travelers more fashion experiences.
While promoting Sanya as a fashionable and trendy tourism option, the show also presented Sanya as an open and diverse international destination and called for mutual cooperation with Hong Kong and the international community.
Fashion as a new approach to discovering the best of Sanya
At the event, STPB and Hainan IEDB signed a strategic cooperation agreement on the fashion sector, leveraging resources to land brand debuts and introduce the fashion cluster to Sanya. The signings will explore opportunities in Sanya's tourism market and future development opportunities in supporting future brand debuts and designer events as well as launching premium conferences and exhibitions.
An internationally renowned tourist destination, Sanya is undoubtedly the best medium for brands to enter the Chinese market given its diversified customer base. It is also an ideal option for travelers who would like to add more fashion-related experiences to their business or leisure trips, as Sanya keeps enhancing its competitiveness against the backdrop of the integrated free trade port policy and the popularity of tourism and leisure consumption scenarios.
"Sanya has been committed to developing partnerships and enriching its offering to serve the demands of various visitors. The idea of achieving win-win cooperation and deepening mutual exchange is the original intention of our participation in the Hainan Expo, as we hope to extend more possibilities of Sanya," said Albert Yip, director general of the STPB. "Building on the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Hainan Free Trade Port and taking the second Hainan Expo as an opportunity, we would like to extend an invitation to visitors from Hong Kong and other places across the world to explore the enormous potential in Sanya, to enjoy the unique experience here with a fashionable taste."

Alex Jones’ media company files for bankruptcy amid trial
By JIM VERTUNO
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ media company Free Speech Systems has filed for bankruptcy, but his attorney says it shouldn’t disrupt the defamation damages trial underway in Texas that seeks to force Jones to pay $150 million or more to the family of one of the children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School attack. The trial in Austin, where Jones lives and Free Speech Systems is based, wrapped up its first week of testimony and is expected to conclude next week. The bankruptcy filing was announced in court late in the day. Courts in Texas and Connecticut have already found Jones liable for defamation for his portrayal of the Sandy Hook massacre as a hoax. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/07/29/alex-jones-media-company-files-for-bankruptcy-amid-trial/ | 2022-07-30T01:54:45Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/07/29/alex-jones-media-company-files-for-bankruptcy-amid-trial/ | true |
- Achieved Health Canada Special Access Program approval to provide psilocybin-assisted therapy for depression in Ontario
- Completed more than 6,000 treatments to date; expanded clinic footprint increasing capacity and greater access to network of mental health specialists
- Reported positive preliminary results from the first Health Canada Approved, Phase II, randomized clinical trial of multi-dose psilocybin-assisted therapy for Treatment-Resistant-Depression
TORONTO, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Braxia Scientific Corp. ("Braxia Scientific", or the "Company"), (CSE: BRAX) (OTC: BRAXF) (FWB: 4960), a medical research company with clinics providing innovative ketamine and psilocybin treatments for depression and related disorders, today announced the filing of its audited financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2022. Complete financial statements along with related management discussion and analysis can be found in the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR), the electronic filing system for the disclosure documents of issuers across Canada, at www.SEDAR.com.
"We have established Braxia as a trusted and advanced clinic group and research platform enabling us to deliver on our vision to provide significantly greater access to innovative ketamine treatments for depression. We have also expanded our clinic footprint and launched several research initiatives to provide access to novel treatments such as psilocybin," said Dr. Roger McIntyre, CEO, Braxia Scientific.
"Our team's research capabilities enabled us to be the first in Canada to receive approval and dose patients in a multi-dose psilocybin trial. Braxia was also the first in Ontario to receive Health Canada Special Access approval for patients to receive psilocybin for depression. Our therapists are trained, ready to meet the increasing demand for psychedelic- and psilocybin-assisted therapies in our growing patient population. We will continue to expand Braxia's clinical footprint and technology infrastructure as we look to significantly scale our program offerings across North America."
Braxia Health, the Company's group of clinics, continued to focus on providing access to innovative treatments for depression while delivering world-class patient-centric experience built around global best practices. Braxia Health opened its fifth, and newest, clinic in a growing suburb near the Greater Toronto Area in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. The new clinic accepted its first patients in July 2022. As the new clinic volumes increase, Braxia Health also expects to further expand its scale and capacity in Toronto and Ottawa, providing greater access to Braxia's network of physicians, specialists and researchers delivering innovative, rapid acting treatments like intravenous (IV) and oral ketamine, and psilocybin for treatment resistant depression (TRD) and other mental health disorders.
To date, the Company has steadily grown its ketamine program referral network across 5 cities and administered more than 6,000 intravenous ketamine infusions. The high quality and timely access to innovative treatment is the differentiating factor allowing Braxia to expand its footprint rapidly and diversify its offering into experimental therapeutic clinical research programs with pharmaceutical partners.
Braxia's clinical and research capabilities, combined with a leading research team, have enabled the Company to establish and carryout research studies focused on advancing novel treatments for depression and other mental health disorders.
In addition to Ketamine, Braxia has focused on researching, and providing access to, psilocybin for depression. Braxia Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, commenced the first Health Canada approved multi-dose psilocybin-assisted therapy clinical trial in July 2021, and dosed its first participant in November 2021.
In connection with this clinical trial, the Company reported positive preliminary results from its ongoing multi-dose psilocybin trial that effectively demonstrated the feasibility of Braxia's proprietary psilocybin-assisted therapy protocol with high rates of recruitment and retention with adequate tolerability and safety. Clinically, the Company reported meaningful improvements in depression severity observed (as measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg depression rating scale) with complete analysis of antidepressant efficacy and secondary outcomes pending. This trial will be completed by December 2022 at which point the full analysis will be completed and submitted for publication.
Braxia Health recently received approval from Health Canada to the Special Access Program ("SAP") to provide psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for a patient with Major Depressive Disorder in Ontario. The SAP was amended January 5th, 2022 to include access to psychedelic compounds on a case-by-case basis outside of clinical trials. Braxia Health has since received SAP approvals for additional patients.
The Company also successfully recruited and trained medical and research staff as part of Braxia Institute to provide psilocybin-assisted therapy with high quality safety monitoring. This program included twenty (20) therapists licensed to practice in Ontario with specialized training in psilocybin-assisted therapy. All therapists were trained by the Braxia Institute and served as study therapists for the active psilocybin clinical trial.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 was $8.6 million compared with December 31, 2021 at $7.64 million reflecting the impact of a private placement the Company closed on January 31, 2022.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded revenue of $369,654 compared with revenue of $246,673 in the fourth quarter of 2021. On a year-over-year basis, fourth quarter revenues increased 49.9%.
The increase in revenue primarily reflects an increase in the number of treatments from the administering of ketamine at the Braxia Health clinics in Ontario.
Net loss was $12.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $88.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. The net loss includes a non-cash, share-based compensation of $2,422,562 (2021 - $2,874,857) and goodwill impairment of $5,275,374 (2021- $nil) related to the acquisition of the CRTCE. In the comparative period, the Company had completed a reverse-take over, the acquisition of CRTCE and completed a brokered private placement which led to an overall increase in expenditures as the business evolved. The Company's management team has focused on cost cutting and reducing certain operating expenditures to focus on the Company's core business.
The Company has strengthened its senior leadership team with two new, strategic hires that bolster Braxia's ability to drive growth and innovation. Both roles will be integral to executing the expansion of the Company's clinical footprint, the rollout and expansion of novel ketamine and psilocybin therapy offerings, new special access programs, current and upcoming clinical trials, and the commercialization of future products in development.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee will share 20 of its interview transcripts with the Justice Department as federal prosecutors have been increasingly focused on efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the election.
A committee aide said that the panel will share the 20 transcripts but has “no plans to share additional transcripts at this time.” The person, who requested anonymity to discuss the confidential transaction, would not say which interviews the committee is sharing.
The information sharing comes after the committee had rejected a Justice Department request for transcripts in May. At the time, the committee’s chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, had said it was “premature” for the committee to share its work because the panel’s probe is ongoing.
Since then, the panel has been negotiating an agreement over the documents as the department has stepped up its probes. Several senior aides to former Vice President Mike Pence have appeared before a federal grand jury and prosecutors have seized records from a group of Republicans who served as fake electors in battleground states won by President Joe Biden. Trump and his allies pushed officials in those states to replace Biden’s duly selected electors with ones who supported him as they advanced claims that his victory had been stolen.
It remains unclear whether prosecutors might seek to bring criminal charges against Trump, who denies any wrongdoing.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, who is facing mounting pressure from congressional Democrats to bring charges against the former president, has said prosecutors will hold anyone accountable — no matter their position — if they broke the law.
In an interview with NBC News this week, Garland said the Justice Department would “bring to justice everybody who was criminally responsible for interfering with the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another.”
The committee has not said if it plans to eventually share all of its transcripts with the Justice Department or the public. The Jan. 6 panel has done more than 1,000 interviews, but not all of those were formally transcribed.
The Justice Department declined to comment Friday on the transcripts. | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national/jan-6-panel-to-share-20-transcripts-with-justice-department/ | 2022-07-30T02:17:53Z | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national/jan-6-panel-to-share-20-transcripts-with-justice-department/ | false |
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday that he’s open to a call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to discuss a possible prisoner swap involving American basketball star Brittney Griner.
Blinken said Wednesday that Washington had offered Russia a deal that would bring home Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. A person familiar with the matter said the U.S. government proposed trading convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for Whelan and Griner.
Speaking on a visit to Uzbekistan, Lavrov said his ministry had received an official U.S. request for a call after Blinken made the statement. Russia’s top diplomat said he would be ready once he returns to Moscow and that the timing of the call was being worked out.
Lavrov said he was open to discussing the prisoner exchange, even though the Foreign Ministry hasn’t been involved in previous discussions on the issue.
“I will listen to what he has to say,” Lavrov added.
Asked Thursday about the U.S. offer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that prisoner swaps were typically negotiated discreetly behind the scenes.
“We know that such issues are discussed without any such release of information,” Peskov told reporters during a conference call. “Normally, the public learns about it when the agreements are already implemented.”
Blinken’s comments marked the first time the U.S. government publicly revealed any concrete action it has taken to secure Griner’s release. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and player for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury was arrested at a Moscow airport in mid-February when inspectors found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage.
Griner’s arrest came at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington ahead of Russia sending troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24. Griner’s five months of detention have raised strong criticism among teammates and supporters in the United States.
Her trial on drug charges started in a court outside Moscow this month, and she testified Wednesday that she didn’t know how the cartridges ended up in her bag but that she had a doctor’s recommendation to use cannabis to treat career-related pain.
The 31-year-old has pleaded guilty but said she had no criminal intent in bringing the cartridges to Russia and packed in haste for her return to play in a Russian basketball league during the WNBA’s offseason. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of transporting drugs.
The Biden administration has faced political pressure to free Griner and other Americans whom the U.S. has declared to be “wrongfully detained” — a designation sharply rejected by Russian officials.
Whelan, a corporate security executive from Michigan, was sentenced to 16 years in prison on espionage charges in 2020. He and his family have vigorously asserted his innocence. The U.S. government has denounced the charges as false.
Russia has for years expressed interest in the release of Bout, a Russian arms dealer once labeled the “Merchant of Death.” He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2012 on charges that he schemed to illegally sell millions of dollars in weapons.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Anaheim Ducks signed John Klingberg to a one-year, $7 million contract on Friday, landing the top defenseman on the NHL free agent market.
The offensive-minded Swede is leaving Dallas, where he had spent his entire NHL career while racking up 71 goals and 303 assists in eight seasons with the Stars. He had six goals and 41 assists last season, although he was a career-worst minus-28.
Klingberg’s offensive skills and shot-blocking capability give an immediate boost to the Ducks, who can also use his right-handed shot and puck movement on the power play. Klingberg scored 20 points while Dallas had the man advantage last season, and he has 148 career points on the power play.
“We are extremely excited to add John to our group,” Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said. “John is a gifted player who can quarterback a power play and give us needed scoring from the blueline. He also adds veteran leadership and character to our team.”
Klingberg has been recognized as one of the league’s better offensive defensemen since the 2020 playoffs, when he scored 21 points in 26 postseason games while Dallas reached the Stanley Cup Final.
Klingberg, who turns 30 next month, had been seeking a long-term contract in free agency as the league’s top available defenseman, but nothing apparently materialized. Instead, he will have a chance to showcase his skills with the up-and-coming Ducks, who had plenty of room under the salary cap to accommodate a lucrative one-year deal with significant upside for the team.
His arrival will be another part of a fairly major roster makeover for Anaheim since Verbeek took over the front office during last season. Verbeek traded longtime Ducks defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Josh Manson near the trade deadline after determining he didn’t want to sign the pending free agents to long-term deals, but he had hoped to add a veteran defenseman this summer to boost the group led by Cam Fowler.
Anaheim has missed the playoffs in four consecutive seasons, but the Ducks appear to be primed for improvement in the fall. Verbeek signed center Ryan Strome and right wing Frank Vatrano in free agency to play alongside Anaheim’s talented young core, which includes gifted forwards Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry and defenseman Jamie Drysdale.

(The Hill) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk confidentiality filed a countersuit against Twitter, after the company sued him for terminating a deal to buy the social media platform for $44 billion earlier this month, according to multiple news reports.
The Friday countersuit was not made publicly available. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment to The Hill on the development.
Sources familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal Musk counterclaims that the number of monetizable daily active users was changed by Twitter before the deal was expected to go through.
People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that the allegation that the number of monetizable daily active users was changed by Twitter after the deal was agreed upon. In addition, the Journal reported Musk claimed that Twitter did not respond when the SpaceX CEO’s team made inquiries on spam number data were not sufficiently answered by the social media company, according to the Journal.
Musk’s counsel argued that Twitter violated their agreement on several counts, including that: the social media company had fired two executives and therefore went against their agreement; Twitter did not share adequate information regarding bots on Twitter’s platform; and that they have made incorrect statements regarding bots on their site.
Days after Musk terminated the deal, the social media company filed a lawsuit against the billionaire.
“These claims are pretexts and lack any merit,” Twitter’s lawsuit claimed. “Musk, by contrast, has been acting against this deal since the market started turning, and has breached the merger agreement repeatedly in the process.”

In a major win for the Biden administration, the House has passed bipartisan legislation aimed at supporting domestic manufacturing of semiconductor chips that power the nation's smartphones, cars, computers, medical equipment and weapons systems. The legislation already passed the Senate earlier this week by a vote of 64-33 and now heads to President Biden to sign into law.
"By making more semiconductors in the United States, this bill will increase domestic manufacturing and lower costs for families," Biden said in a statement released after the House vote.
"And, it will strengthen our national security by making us less dependent on foreign sources of semiconductors" he also said.
The CHIPS bill, short for Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America Act, would provide $54 billion in grants for semiconductor manufacturing and research, tens of billions to support regional technology hubs and a tax credit covering 25% of investments in semiconductor manufacturing through 2026.
The bill is a narrower version of an economic competitiveness package that passed the Senate last year but stalled in the House.
The House passed the legislation by a vote of 243-187, with 24 Republicans joining Democrats to supporting the legislation. Those Republicans bucked party leadership who attempted to whip against the bill as part of a political fight over a deal brokered between Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Democratic leaders on a separate climate and tax bill.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., blasted the legislation as a "blank check" to the semiconductor industry on Thursday.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., praised the legislation a day earlier from the Senate floor, saying it will "go down as one of the major bipartisan achievements of this Congress, along with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the recent gun safety law."
"The American people deserve to see more examples like this, of both sides coming together to do very, very big things that will leave a lasting impact on our country," Schumer added.
Seventeen Senate Republicans voted in favor of the legislation: Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Steve Daines of Montana, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Todd Young of Indiana.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, voted against the bill.
Backers say the bill would reduce reliance on China
Supporters of the legislation argue it's long overdue and will lower U.S. reliance on China for chip manufacturing, which they say poses a national security risk.
According to the Congressional Research Service, nearly four-fifths of global fabrication capacity was in Asia as of 2019.
"We used to make 40% of the world's chips, we make about 12% now," Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said during a virtual roundtable with Biden Monday afternoon. "The reality is, while we have invested nothing to spur domestic chip manufacturing, China has invested more than $150 billion to build their own domestic capacity. So we're very much behind."
The Biden administration says enhancing the chip industry at home will also help ease supply chain disruptions.
But critics of the legislation, including Sanders, question subsidizing the semiconductor industry.
"Let us rebuild the U.S. microchip industry, but let's do it in a way that benefits all of our society, not just a handful of wealthy, profitable and powerful corporations," Sanders said in a statement in mid-July.
The legislation would also authorize roughly $100 billion in spending over five years on scientific research, including more than $80 billion for the National Science Foundation.
"Chips alone are not going to be sufficient to preserve U.S. technology leadership, which is why we need the rest of the innovation bill so that we invest not just in the core technology powering innovation today, but also the technologies that will power innovation tomorrow," national security adviser Jake Sullivan said during the White House roundtable.

What are the best health benefits of flavonoids?
While many people are familiar with the health benefits of various vitamins and minerals, there are other compounds and nutrients found in food that play a vital role in metabolic processes that keep your body healthy. Flavonoids are one such compound. They are found in many different types of foods, though predominantly fruits and vegetables, and provide essential antioxidant benefits, help your body to mitigate the effects of toxins, and can help ward off chronic illnesses.
What are flavonoids?
The term refers to a group of compounds found naturally known as polyphenolic secondary metabolites, which means that when they are consumed, your body metabolizes them into other compounds that benefit your body.
Types of flavonoids
There are six types of flavonoids, each with its own benefits and sourced from different types of foods.
Flavanols
Flavonols provide antioxidant benefits to your body, fighting and warding off toxins that can cause health complications. They are found in foods including onions, berries, peaches, kale, grapes, tomatoes, broccoli, and tea.
Flavan-3-ols
Flavan-3-ols are nutrient-rich flavonoids that are found in different types of tea such as black tea, green tea, and oolong. If you’d like to learn more about brewing the best tea you can at home, check out the full tea infuser buying guide from Best Reviews. You can also source flavan-3-ols from red grapes, berries, and cocoa products such as chocolate.
Flavones
Flavones are actually a type of pigment. In plants, their role is to operate as an organic pesticide by keeping leaves free from insects. It’s thought that flavonoids help to reduce inflammation in human tissue. Flavones can be found in celery, red peppers, peppermint, and chamomile.
Flavanones
This is another type of flavonoid that can help to reduce inflammation and it’s thought that this sub-type of flavonoid also provides cardiovascular benefits. You can find flavanones in citrus fruits such as limes, lemons, grapefruit, and oranges.
Isoflavones
Mainly found in soy and soy-based products, isoflavones are thought to help with hormone regulation in the body. This means they can play a role in warding off and managing conditions related to hormone imbalances.
Anthocyanins
This type of flavonoid is also a kind of pigment. You’ll find anthocyanins in many different types of berries that have a red, blue, or purple color such as grapes, cranberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries.
Why are flavonoids important?
Flavonoids mainly benefit the body by regulating the activity of your cells. They also help to eliminate free radicals in the body, which is their main antioxidative benefit. Flavonoids protect your cells from toxins and free radicals so they can perform more efficiently and, therefore, support the healthy function of your body.
One of the key benefits of this activity is helping your body to manage inflammation. Your body causes inflammation as a response to foreign bodies such as germs and toxins. While it’s a natural immune response, chronic inflammation as a result of this response can cause adverse side effects and chronic health conditions. So, flavonoids are a critical component of keeping your immune system and your overall body in peak condition.
What are the health benefits of flavonoids?
As the old saying goes, an apple per day keeps the doctor away. While we all know that fruits and vegetables are healthy, what most people don’t realize is that by consuming more flavonoids you could be giving yourself a serious health upgrade. This is because when you eat foods that contain flavonoids you’re not just eating foods that contain vitamins and minerals. You’re also getting the serious cardiovascular, cancer-preventing, and anti-inflammatory benefits contained in these foods.
Flavonoids typically protect plants against viruses, UV radiation, bacteria, and fungi. As with most nutrition-based health benefits, research into the true nature and effect of flavonoids in the human body is still ongoing. But several studies have shown a correlation between flavonoid consumption and numerous health benefits.
Improving your cardiovascular health
According to one study published by the National Institutes of Health, flavonoids can benefit your cardiovascular system in several ways.
Several different types of flavonoids have been shown to help manage chronic high blood pressure, actively working to lower the blood pressure in the body. They also lower your overall risk of many different types of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.
Lower your risk of diabetes
Chronic inflammation, even at a low level, has been shown to increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. That’s because nutrient excess of things like free fatty acids can cause oxidative stress on your cells, hampering their ability to regulate insulin.
Studies outlined in the review published by the NIH showed that flavonoids can act as a highly beneficial supplementary treatment for type 2 diabetes as they can regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids in the body, preventing irregular insulin production.
Potential cancer prevention effects
Another serious health condition that has been linked to chronic inflammation is cancer. Studies estimate that at least 20% of all cancers are rooted in long-term inflammation in the body. This includes cancers such as lung, bladder, prostate, pancreatic, esophageal cancer, and melanoma.
The antioxidant activity and inflammation-reducing benefits of flavonoids can help to reduce the risk of cancer development. Different types of flavonoids are adept at reducing the risk of different types of cancer. For example, flavonols are linked to reduced risk of prostate cancer while anthocyanins reduce the risk of lung cancer.
Manage chronic inflammation and pain
One study examined the effects of flavonoids on managing pain associated with chronic inflammation and nerve damage. It seems flavonoids can work to reduce the cellular response to pain and researchers believe that flavonoids could be used in pharmaceutical development to treat pain associated with chronic conditions.
Anti-viral properties
Flavonoids act as natural pesticides, antibacterial and antifungal barriers in plants, so it’s no surprise that they may have a similar effect on the human body. Research suggests that flavonoids, particularly flavones, may have virus fighting capabilities in humans, helping to fight off common illnesses like the flu and respiratory infections.

Las Vegas Strip, multiple casinos flooded overnight by monsoon storm
A monsoon storm dumped heavy rain across the Las Vegas Valley on Thursday night, triggering flash flooding along the Las Vegas Strip and several famous casinos.
Both a Flash Flood Warning and a Severe Thunderstorm Warning were issued by the National Weather Service for parts of the valley, which included downtown Las Vegas and North Las Vegas.
A wind gust of 59 mph was clocked at Harry Reid International Airport just before 10 p.m. local time Thursday, but the Las Vegas Strip reported a 71-mph gust as the storm blew through the city.

Officially at the airport, 0.32 inches of rain was recorded from Thursday night's monsoon storm. But, according to the NWS, a couple of pockets of Las Vegas received more than an inch of rainfall.
Las Vegas Fire and Rescue said it responded to various storm-related calls and urged people not to drive through flooded roadways.
HERE'S WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR CAR IS FLOODED
Video from FOX 5 Vegas showed cars stuck in high water as floodwaters rushed down city streets.
Other videos shared on social media showed a flooded Las Vegas Strip parking garage, standing water along Las Vegas Boulevard, water gushing through a screen at Circa Resort & Casino and water coming through a ceiling at Caesars Palace.
Monsoon forecast
The Southwest will continue to witness its deluge of monsoonal moisture stream over the region, prompting the development of showers and thunderstorms in each of the next several days.
TORRENTIAL MONSOON RAINS RAISE FLOOD THREAT THIS WEEKEND IN SOUTHWEST
(FOX Weather)
Dangerous flash flooding is expected to impact parts of the region, with torrential rain rates up to 2 inches per hour possible in the heaviest downpours.
The highest threat of flash flooding will likely be in parts of Arizona and New Mexico into the weekend.
(FOX Weather)
Areas that are most vulnerable to flash flooding remain near burn scars, in slot canyons, in locations that have overly saturated soils and in more heavily urbanized areas of the Southwest.
Flood Watches remain posted for much of the Four Corners region over the next few days to cover the flash flooding potential. This includes the cities of Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Alamosa, Colorado.

Ramirez has HR, 3 RBIs in Guardians' 4-1 win over Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - José Ramirez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth, Shane Bieber struck out eight in seven innings and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Friday night.
Ramirez's 21st homer, a drive off Jeffrey Springs (3-3), gave Cleveland a 3-1 lead. Ramirez added a two-out RBI single in the eighth after Steven Kwan's third single.
Bieber (5-6) iis just 2-3 in nine starts since June 3. He needed 26 pitches in the first, when Ji-Man Choi hit a run-scoring single. The Rays stranded the bases loaded when Christian Bethancourt struck out.
Emmanuel Clase pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 24 chances, getting Bethancourt to ground into a game-ending double play. The Guardians won for the third time in four games.
Tampa Bay has lost six of seven and leads Cleveland by 3 1/2 games for the AL's third wild card. The homestand opener drew just 14,671,
Bieber, who has pitched six innings or more in 11 of his last 13 starts, gave up one run and five hits.
Springs allowed three runs and six hits in five innings.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Guardians: RHP Aaron Civale, on the 15-day IL since July 14 with a sprained right wrist, is scheduled to pitch off a mound Sunday.
Rays: The neck strain that put RHP Matt Wisler on the 15-day IL Wednesday is minor, according to manager Kevin Cash. . . . . C Mike Zunino, who last played June 10 and is out for the season, had surgery on his left shoulder Thursday.
UP NEXT
Rays RHP Corey Kluber (6-6, 3.91) will make the second start of his career Saturday against the team for which he won Cy Young Awards in 2014 and 2017. Kluber pitched six scoreless innings for the Yankees against Cleveland last Sept. 17, earning a win. RHP Zach Plesac (2-8, 4.09) will pitch for the Guardians.

INDIANAPOLIS — A bicyclist is dead after a hit and run Friday night on Indy’s near west side.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed a call came in about the accident around 8:20 p.m.
When officers arrived at the scene at the intersection of West Michigan Street and Goodlet Avenue, they found a bicyclist that had appeared to have been hit. The person was confirmed dead.
IMPD said that the driver did initially flee from the scene, but was caught shortly after nearby. They brought the driver back to the scene and called it a “hit and run.”
The driver was still on scene as of 10 p.m. and had not been officially arrested or charged with anything.
This is an ongoing investigation according to IMPD.
This is a developing story and will be updated once more information is available. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/1-dead-after-accident-on-indys-near-west-side/ | 2022-07-30T02:58:45Z | https://cbs4indy.com/news/1-dead-after-accident-on-indys-near-west-side/ | false |
INDIANAPOLIS — Now is the time to tune into American motorsports, on display all weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where NASCAR and IndyCar intersect with both series embroiled in turmoil.
Two-time IndyCar champion Josef Newgarden was cleared to compete on the road course on Indy's hallowed grounds after successfully completing Friday morning practice and passing a third medical evaluation. The driver from Nashville collapsed and hit his head on Sunday at Iowa Speedway about 90 minutes after he'd crashed while leading the race.
He said he assumes he suffered a concussion when he hit his head in the motorhome lot but spent the first part of the week somewhat isolated in an attempt to heal so he could race Saturday. Newgarden is chasing a third title.
“I really was very motivated to be here this weekend; I knew if we weren't in this race, it was going to be very difficult to stay in this championship fight,” Newgarden said. “That was the end for me. I know that we have to be in the race, so whatever I have to do to be fit and prepared is No. 1 on my plate.”
Kurt Busch, meanwhile, will miss his second consecutive NASCAR race because of concussion-like symptoms following a crash last weekend at Pocono. Chase Elliott heads into Sunday's race as NASCAR's most recent winner, but he inherited the victory in an unprecedented disqualification to Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch.
Hamlin and Busch crossed the finish line 1-2, but their Toyotas failed postrace inspection and earned the first Cup Series disqualification since April 17, 1960. Emanuel Zervakis was stripped of his victory at Wilson Speedway in North Carolina because of an oversized fuel tank.
NASCAR is still five races away from its postseason, a 10-week knockout round to crown its champion. IndyCar, meanwhile, has five races remaining in its season and an incredibly tight six-driver title race. Reigning champion Alex Palou is sixth in the standings, 44 points behind Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson, but he's being sued by Chip Ganassi Racing over his desire to move to McLaren Racing next season.
Palou said ahead of Saturday's race that he still believes he can win a second consecutive title this year, and that he will be in the McLaren family in 2023. Team owner Chip Ganassi seemed exasperated.
“Good for him," Ganassi told The Associated Press on Friday. "I’m not making any statements. I have no quotes to give.”
Newgarden also took the silent approach until after he'd qualified fifth for Saturday's race. His hard crash while leading the race — and the IndyCar standings until a broken suspension stopped his attempt at sweeping the Iowa doubleheader — dropped him into a tie for third in the standings and forced Team Penske to put Santino Ferrucci on standby in case Newgarden couldn't drive.
IndyCar's medical staff felt certain that Newgarden had passed all critical tests before he was medically cleared in Iowa, and if he did suffer a concussion, it came later when he collapsed in the parking lot. He visited a specialist this week, was re-evaluated at IMS on Thursday and then had yet another examination after logging the second-fastest laps in Friday morning practice.
Ferrucci seemed to have already been waved off by Penske on Thursday night when he tweeted he was thankful that Newgarden was healthy. Only problem? He incorrectly spelled it “Joseph” and Newgarden didn't like that one bit.
“It’s Josef*,” he replied on Twitter. “At Penske, we care about details.”
It was an aggressive response from Newgarden, who seemed to be staking claim on both his race car and his spot in the title race. Had he not been cleared to race, it likely would have ended his championship chances.
Newgarden said his reply to Ferrucci was in good fun.
“But from a factual standpoint, you know, the details do matter,” Newgarden said. “It is important to remember here at Team Penske, we have a working style and we like to stick to it. I'm just trying to help the next batter up.”
WHAT ABOUT THE OVAL?
NASCAR last year worked with Indianapolis track owner Roger Penske to shift its race from the famed oval to the road course as part of this blockbuster weekend.
But the Brickyard 400 was considered a NASCAR crown jewel despite waning interest from its 1994 debut through 27 runnings. Penske thought the move to the road course — and a shared weekend with IndyCar — would boost the importance of the event.
The race will likely be on the road course again next year, Penske confirmed this weekend. This year's version is a 14-turn, 2.439-mile paved course.
BYRON FIRE
Hendrick Motorsports dodged disaster when a generator fire was extinguished before it damaged the Chevrolet that William Byron will race Sunday.
The team sent a backup transporter from North Carolina to the speedway on Friday, one day after the flames erupted inside the No. 24 truck as it waited to enter the speedway.
“A huge thank you to everyone who helped out with the 24 hauler today including the track, NASCAR, the local fire department and other team hauler drivers," Byron wrote on Twitter. "Everyone jumped in and helped our team out today and that support means a lot to all of us on the 24 team.”
The Cup garage did not open until Friday afternoon; cars are on the track Saturday morning before the IndyCar race. | https://www.kokomotribune.com/sports/nascar-and-indycar-intersect-at-indianapolis-extravaganza/article_f895d366-0f8e-11ed-a56d-4338e82bcf44.html | 2022-07-30T03:08:39Z | https://www.kokomotribune.com/sports/nascar-and-indycar-intersect-at-indianapolis-extravaganza/article_f895d366-0f8e-11ed-a56d-4338e82bcf44.html | true |
WATCH: Crews rescue woman trapped in car amid rising flood waters
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. (Arizona’s Family/Gray News) - Residents outside of Phoenix woke up Friday to the aftermath of extensive flooding in the area.
Officials in Apache Junction confirmed at least five people had to be rescued, with others swept away in their vehicles.
Arizona’s Family reports authorities released body camera video showing one of the rescues, where a woman, later identified as Sur Teders, could be heard calling to officers for assistance with her dog also needing help.
The woman’s grandson, Connor Smith, said he came to her aid but couldn’t reach her because of the floodwaters, and that’s when he called 911.
Smith said his grandmother was physically OK after the incident, but the family has lost their dog. Teders’ granddaughter posted about the ordeal on social media and urged the community to participate in the search for their pet.
Authorities said multiple rescues were completed Thursday night as residents got caught in the rushing water. Crews also rescued a person from their home after floodwaters trapped them inside.
The city reported rescue crews were out Friday morning to clear roadways of dirt and debris.
Apache Junction city officials said most streets were open Friday evening, but drivers were still urged to use caution.

Water Waste Complaints Are Up, Mostly In LA's Lushest Neighborhoods
More than a third of L.A.’s water goes to outdoor irrigation, mostly at homes, according to the Los Angeles Department of Power. That's why, as severe drought drags on, Angelenos are restricted to only two days of outdoor watering per week (with an important exception: you can hand-water trees and food gardens any day).
As water consumption has started to go down, complaints are on the rise.
Last month, when outdoor watering restrictions began, complaints of water waste to LADWP jumped 56%. So far most of those calls have come from some of the lushest, highest water-use neighborhoods, according to city data analyzed by LAist.
Since the start of restrictions, most complaints have come from affluent neighborhoods in the central and west side of the city: Mid-Wilshire, followed by Brentwood, had the highest number of calls.
According to LADWP, Brentwood is home to the majority of the city’s Tier 4 ratepayers, which are residences that use the most water and pay the highest water rates.
Brentwood has the most concentrated population of Tier 4 customers — 375 residences — followed by Granada Hills (344), Pacific Palisades (305), and Bel Air. Mid-Wilshire is home to 69 Tier 4 users, according to another dataset, this one from LADWP, that LAist analyzed.
The increase in complaints from some of these neighborhoods doesn’t mean people are flouting the rules more, said LADWP spokesperson Ellen Cheng, but it does signal that people are more aware of the drought’s severity — and making sure their neighbors are, too.
Of the nearly 2,000 water waste reports LADWP received in June, the department only issued 49 citations and no fines. Usually the citations are a result of people simply being unaware of their watering days, said Damon Ayala, an officer with LADWP's Water Conservation Response Unit, which responds to complaints and sends out citations or fines when merited.
So far, it appears Angelenos are largely heeding the call to conserve. According to the city, last month Angelenos used less water than any previous June on record. LADWP says the city is on track to further lower usage this month. | https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/water-waste-complaints-are-up-mostly-in-l-a-s-lushest-neighborhoods | 2022-07-30T03:09:45Z | https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/water-waste-complaints-are-up-mostly-in-l-a-s-lushest-neighborhoods | true |
Ariarne Titmus continued her love affair with the Commonwealth Games by claiming a fourth different title.
The 200m was the only gold medal which eluded the freestyle specialist in 2018 but she made up for that by completing her personal set and adding the Games record set by the Canadian who beat her on the Gold Coast.

But it was a nail-biting finish as Titmus was pushed all the way by her Queensland training partner Mollie O'Callaghan.
The Tasmanian led at every turn but O'Callaghan produced a stunning final leg only to miss out by 0.12 seconds as Titmus won in 1:53.89.
Madison Wilson (1:56.17) completed the second Australian clean sweep of the evening by claiming bronze.
"That was very close having my training partner pushing me all the way," Titmus said.
"I knew coming into this that she would be there. She's young, she's feisty, she's hungry - that's what I was like! I am still like that, but she's been swimming really well and it's exciting to have a battle out there, it makes it fun."
Titmus admitted she didn't realise how close O'Callaghan was getting until the final turn.
"I was breathing the other way on the third lap and I thought that was where I could put my foot down and make a move and I knew she's got a great last turn.
"I saw her on the turn and was like 'She's there!' But I was happy that I had just enough to hold onto first.
"I swim with her every day so I knew exactly where she would be. She's been improving every day and that's exciting to keep me on my toes. It's good to always have young people coming up."
Titmus won gold in the 400m, 800m and 4x200m relay in 2018 but said she learned just as much from the silver in the 200m behind Canadian Taylor Ruck who chose not to defend her title in Birmingham.
"The Gold Coast was a great stepping stone for me, it';s where I learned to race on the international stage and I think helped me at the Olympics so I think that 200 on the Gold Coast was a good learning experience and it's good to finally have that in my repertoire, so I was happy to get this one."
Launceston-born, Queensland-based Titmus, who also claimed two golds, a silver and bronze at the 2020 Olympic Games and is a multiple world champion, is facing another daunting schedule at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre including the 400 and 800m plus another relay.
Triathlon
Tasmanian triathlete Jake Birtwhistle extended his excellent Commonwealth Games form with a fourth-place finish in Birmingham.
Despite narrowly missing the podium, the 27-year-old former under-23 world champion said he was delighted to add the performance to his individual silver and team relay gold from 2018.
Working his way up from 17th after the 750m swim, Launceston-born Birtwhistle sat in a large group chasing a breakaway front three during the 20km ride and then produced a solid 5km run to finish 16 seconds behind bronze medal-winning compatriot Matt Hauser.

British golden boy Alex Yee put in a stunning run to win from New Zealander Hayden Wilde who was denied gold by a 10-second time penalty.
"It would've obviously been nice to be a little further up and get up on the podium with Matt but at the end of the day I'm pretty happy with that," Birtwhistle said.
"I feel prouder than normally a fourth place would make me. I haven't had any results to be proud of.
"I knew deep down it was still in me and I know I've been training well so it's nice to put together a decent swim, bike and run and get myself back in the mix a little bit."

Birtwhistle, whose maiden Olympic campaign in Tokyo yielded 16th place in the individual event and ninth in the mixed relay, had set himself the target of going one better than his Gold Coast silver medal, but said he knew that was going to be hard on an undulating course through picturesque Sutton Park.
"It was a solid race. We don't have too many run courses like that. I got off the bike and the legs felt really good for about a hundred metres then we turned up the hill and I thought 'you know what, I might have a tough day ahead of me'.
"I haven't had the best season so far but that for sure has been my most complete swim, bike and run."
After a silver medal in the Oceania Triathlon Cup on the Gold Coast in April, Birtwhistle has contested World Triathlon Championship Series races in Yokohama, Leeds, Montreal and Hamburg leading into the Games.
With parents Alan and Carmen among plenty of supporters from Tasmania, Birtwhistle said it was a proud day.
"It's super nice to be here at a Commonwealth Games again. It's always a massive privilege to wear these colours and represent Australia and do it in front of my family and friends is really special.

"It's huge to have the crowd back for one thing but then the family and the people that mean the most to me. To have them up there makes it that little bit more special."
Cycling
Georgia Baker claimed Tasmania's first gold medal of the Games.
The Australian team of Baker and debutants Maeve Plouffe, Sophie Edwards and Chloe Moran produced a dominant performance in the team pursuit to win in a new Games record time.
It represents the first major multi-sport event team pursuit victory for Perth's 27-year-old world champion who missed out on the Aussie triumph on the Gold Coast (where she also finished 21st in the points race) and came fifth at both the Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games.
Qualifying fastest in the morning session at the 2012 Olympic venue of Lee Valley Velopark, the Aussies tore apart New Zealand in the final to win by 5.75 seconds in a new Games benchmark of 4:12.234. England pipped Wales for the bronze medal.
"This is our first big multi-sport championship together, we've got some experience on the team but we also have some new legs and I think the hunger is really showing," Baker said.

"We haven't been together very much so to come out and break the Games record in qualifying and then smash it again in the final is pretty special."
Josh Duffy made it two Tasmanian medals in less than an hour as Australia added a bronze in the men's team pursuit.
Making his Commonwealth Games debut, the Launceston 22-year-old combined with compatriots Graeme Frislie, Lucas Plapp and Conor Leahy to record a new team personal best time of 3:50.403 to beat Wales by 3.122 seconds.
New Zealand set a new Games record of 3:47.575 to beat England by two seconds and claim the gold.
The medal continues an excellent run for Duffy who claimed Oceania titles in team pursuit and madison plus national successes in the madison, time trial and scratch race.
Bowls
Rebecca Van Asch and her Jackaroos teammates began their defence of the women's fours bowls title with a thrilling 15-15 tie with Botswana.

In a see-sawing encounter at Victoria Park, the Australian team of Kristina Krstic (lead), Lynsey Clarke (second), Van Asch (third) and skip Natasha van Eldik trailed 4-7, bounced back to lead 9-7 and was 15-10 up before conceding five on the final end.
In their second match of the opening day, the Aussies beat Fiji 16-10.
Down 4-6 after five ends, Australia took the lead on the 10th and never looked back. | https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/7840445/titmus-and-baker-claim-opening-day-gold-medals-at-games/ | 2022-07-30T03:10:58Z | https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/7840445/titmus-and-baker-claim-opening-day-gold-medals-at-games/ | true |

Outset and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On May 5, 2022, the Company disclosed negative results for 1Q2022, which, among other things, analysts attributed to the untested nature of Tablo, its flagship product which is a dialysis machine that purifies tap water and then artificially purifies and removes toxins from the blood of patients suffering from kidney failure. On this news, shares of Outset fell more than 40% over the three trading days that followed, from a closing price of $39.94 per share on May 4, 2022, to a closing price of $23.06 per share on May 9, 2022.
Then, on June 13, 2022, the Company disclosed a hold on all shipments of Tablo for home use by the FDA until proper regulatory clearance was received. The Company subsequently disclosed that the "ship hold" had been in place for weeks before investors were informed and that as a result of the hold, the Company was "suspending our prior full-year and long-term guidance.". On this news, shares of Outset fell another 33%, from a closing price of $20.41 per share on June 13, 2022, to a closing price of $13.46 per share on June 14, 2022.
The case is Plymouth County Retirement Association v. Outset Medical, Inc., 22-cv-04016.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — José Ramirez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth, Shane Bieber struck out eight in seven innings and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Friday night.
Ramirez's 21st homer, a drive off Jeffrey Springs (3-3), gave Cleveland a 3-1 lead. Ramirez added a two-out RBI single in the eighth after Steven Kwan's third single.
Bieber (5-6) iis just 2-3 in nine starts since June 3. He needed 26 pitches in the first, when Ji-Man Choi hit a run-scoring single. The Rays stranded the bases loaded when Christian Bethancourt struck out.
Emmanuel Clase pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 24 chances, getting Bethancourt to ground into a game-ending double play. The Guardians won for the third time in four games.
Tampa Bay has lost six of seven and leads Cleveland by 3 1/2 games for the AL's third wild card. The homestand opener drew just 14,671,
Bieber, who has pitched six innings or more in 11 of his last 13 starts, gave up one run and five hits.
Springs allowed three runs and six hits in five innings.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Guardians: RHP Aaron Civale, on the 15-day IL since July 14 with a sprained right wrist, is scheduled to pitch off a mound Sunday.
Rays: The neck strain that put RHP Matt Wisler on the 15-day IL Wednesday is minor, according to manager Kevin Cash. . . . . C Mike Zunino, who last played June 10 and is out for the season, had surgery on his left shoulder Thursday.
UP NEXT
Rays RHP Corey Kluber (6-6, 3.91) will make the second start of his career Saturday against the team for which he won Cy Young Awards in 2014 and 2017. Kluber pitched six scoreless innings for the Yankees against Cleveland last Sept. 17, earning a win. RHP Zach Plesac (2-8, 4.09) will pitch for the Guardians.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A woman the FBI describes as a “Peyton Manning Wannabe” held up an Albuquerque bank Friday afternoon. The feds say the woman was wearing a black Colts jersey and held up the Wells Fargo at Juan Tabo and Central around 4:30 p.m. They say she told workers she had a bomb and gave a demand note to the teller but did not receive any money.
She is described as Hispanic, between the age of 30 and 40, 5 foot 4 inches tall, with brown hair, and appeared to have a bandage on the back of her right hand.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

The Dumbarton Bridge isn’t a landmark that gets the blood pressure racing.
Its architecture is aggressively functional and the drive is nearly devoid of memorable views, spanning marshland while connecting the lowest-key of Bay Area communities: Newark and Menlo Park. Even the name, Dumbarton, sounds like the sidekick to the villain in a Disney movie.
But there was a time when Dumbarton was nothing short of a sensation. Upon its Jan. 27, 1927 debut, it was the first vehicle bridge to span the San Francisco Bay, and at 1.63 miles, the longest highway bridge in the world. Conceived when San Franciscans still traveled to San Jose on dirt roads, the Dumbarton Bridge was a symbol of the future.
On the day the Dumbarton opened, The Chronicle published a 10-page special section, declaring it an engineering marvel that would change the region.
“A ribbon of steel and concrete, stretching for more than one mile to link the shores of the San Francisco Peninsula and Alameda Counties, today brings a reality which for decades has been but a dream — a highway bridge across San Francisco Bay,” the lead article stated.
The bridge began as a victory over bureaucracy.
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate
Dumbarton, originally supposed to be a public infrastructure project, was mired in delays caused by state leaders fighting over competing plans and a shortage of steel and construction workers during World War I. And its usefulness required some imagination. The span was finished before the Bayshore Freeway along the western edge of the Bay existed as a bridge connector; that part of Highway 101 wasn’t completed until 1937.
Ultimately it went private. Local realtor F.H. Drake and banker Frank K. Towne formed the Dumbarton Bridge Company, selling stock in $100 chunks to cover the $2.5 million construction budget, hoping to make it back with nickel tolls. (It took 16 years to cover the original investment.) The bridge got its name from Dumbarton Point on its eastern shore, itself named because the marshland reminded someone of Dumbarton, Scotland.
The first Dumbarton Bridge was more “Bridges of Madison County” than Golden Gate Bridge. It was 6,500 feet long with a drawbridge, yet just 23 feet wide, with enough room for one car in each direction, and no breakdown lane.
But for the South Bay, it was revolutionary. The bridge cut 15.5 miles from the Berkeley-to-Palo Alto commute.
“Span Boon to Football Fans,” one 1927 Chronicle headline read. “16 Miles Saved by Spanning the Bay.”
Cal and Stanford boosters weren’t the only ones celebrating. Realtors were thrilled, announcing new developments in Redwood City and Atherton with hundreds of new housing units. San Carlos seemed designed in response to the bridge. (“San Carlos, Lusty Peninsula Infant, to Profit Largely By Bridge Over Bay,” one hyperbolic Chronicle headline read.)
Hearty congratulations were sent from around the Bay. San Francisco mayor Jim Rolph joined industry and union leaders in public praise, clearly inspired by the potential that was being unlocked.
“More bridges will come,” a full-page ad from the Port of San Francisco read. “The day can now be foreseen when San Francisco’s transportation shackles can be completely broken and thrown off.”
As a symbol of progress, the Dumbarton was a winner. But as a bridge, flaws quickly emerged, especially after the construction of Highway 101 and Interstate 280, and towns like San Carlos grew from lusty infants with houses scattered amid orchards to packed suburbs.
The drawbridge was only nine feet above sea level during high tide, so even the smallest sailboat passing through forced a four-minute halt. When Silicon Valley emerged in the 1970s, the bridge was still just two lanes. One Ford Pinto breakdown could leave thousands of potential Hewlett-Packard and Atari employees stuck in gridlock.
State and local leaders campaigned for a new bridge, but this time the locals were the obstruction, not the driving force for progress. In one of the most Atherton moves in the city’s slow-growth-obsessed history, residents in 1975 formed Citizens Against the Dumbarton Bridge to sue the state, claiming “the new bridge would dump so much traffic in town that it would ruin Atherton’s semi-rural quality.”
A judge quickly tossed the lawsuit for “nebulous legal reasoning.”
Atherton, Menlo Park and Palo Alto managed to delay large numbers of Newark residents from the feared invasion, but they couldn’t stop them. A new bridge was finished in 1982 with six lanes total and an 85-foot clearance that eliminated the need for a drawbridge. The second Dumbarton cost $100 million, more than four times its original budget.
There was no special section in The Chronicle. But the newspaper did send one reporter for the first Dumbarton’s final spectacle. The original bridge remained beside the new one for a couple years. Then, on Sept. 23, 1984, the bridge was rigged with precision explosives and blasted away.
There was no sense of swelling pride; more like morbid curiosity. More than 1,000 locals gathered to watch the demolition. Men drank six-packs of beer, and one viewer put the 49ers game on a battery-powered television. After a long delay, they cheered as the Dumbarton disappeared into a plume of fire and smoke, collapsing into the Bay.
The Dumbarton Bridge is no longer a symbol of the future. It’s now the shortest and arguably least celebrated Bay crossing. (The San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, just a few miles to the north, is seven miles long.) From what we can tell, it has never appeared on a postcard.
But it deserves more credit as a symbol of the past and the present. Parts of the old bridge were recycled as fishing piers. The modern Dumbarton in 1982 preceded the Richmond Bridge as the first Bay crossing to get a full bicycle lane.
And it has two great movie moments: Providing a location for the 1971 film “Harold and Maude” and a key plot point in the 1992 Robert Redford movie “Sneakers.”
(“Sneakers” is the next Total SF movie night, playing at the Balboa Theatre on Thursday, August 25. Watch everyone cheer when the Dumbarton gets its name-drop.)
So consider this an unironic and heartfelt salute to the Dumbarton Bridge — a pretty boring Bay span that has quietly gotten the job done for nearly a century.

WATCH: Crews rescue woman trapped in car amid rising flood waters
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. (Arizona’s Family/Gray News) - Residents outside of Phoenix woke up Friday to the aftermath of extensive flooding in the area.
Officials in Apache Junction confirmed at least five people had to be rescued, with others swept away in their vehicles.
Arizona’s Family reports authorities released body camera video showing one of the rescues, where a woman, later identified as Sur Teders, could be heard calling to officers for assistance with her dog also needing help.
The woman’s grandson, Connor Smith, said he came to her aid but couldn’t reach her because of the floodwaters, and that’s when he called 911.
Smith said his grandmother was physically OK after the incident, but the family has lost their dog. Teders’ granddaughter posted about the ordeal on social media and urged the community to participate in the search for their pet.
Authorities said multiple rescues were completed Thursday night as residents got caught in the rushing water. Crews also rescued a person from their home after floodwaters trapped them inside.
The city reported rescue crews were out Friday morning to clear roadways of dirt and debris.
Apache Junction city officials said most streets were open Friday evening, but drivers were still urged to use caution.

Trump endorses Dixon ahead of Michigan GOP governor primary
By JOEY CAPPELLETTI
Associated Press/Report for America
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s Republican primary for governor, just days before the election that will determine the party’s opponent for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Dixon is a conservative commentator and actress. She’s emerged as a leading candidate in a crowded field. Trump’s endorsement Friday comes in a race where candidates have maneuvered for his support for months. He joins former U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in endorsing Dixon. DeVos, who is from Michigan, resigned from Trump’s Cabinet after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. | https://kion546.com/news/2022/07/29/trump-endorses-dixon-ahead-of-michigan-gop-governor-primary/ | 2022-07-30T03:25:33Z | https://kion546.com/news/2022/07/29/trump-endorses-dixon-ahead-of-michigan-gop-governor-primary/ | false |

A Washington state man has been arrested following a police pursuit that began in St. Helens and ended in Rainier.
The incident began shortly after 11:30 a.m. Thursday July 28, when troopers from the Oregon State Police (OSP) St. Helens worksite responded to the report of a reckless driver on Highway 30 milepost 28.
It was reported that the offending driver was “all over the road” in a silver passenger car. The reporting party provided a description of the offending vehicle, which was later identified as a silver 2003 Buick Regal 4-dr.
Troopers located the suspected vehicle but quickly lost sight of it within the City of St. Helens. A short time later, the suspected vehicle was relocated by troopers and observed to have dangerous driving behavior. Troopers initiated a traffic stop on the silver Buick near the McDonalds in St. Helens. The silver Buick fled, and a pursuit ensued eastbound toward Scappoose.
The suspect fled to approximately milepost 26.5 and then turned westbound back to St. Helens. The suspect then fled westbound through St. Helens, Columbia City, and finally into Rainier. The driver, who was the sole occupant, was observed driving dangerously and intentionally over-taking vehicles head-on, drove at varying speeds, and was unable to drive within his own lane, according OSP.
The suspect drove so dangerously that troopers discontinued pursuing the vehicle. Police later located the suspected vehicle in Rainier. When the suspect vehicle was located it was parked and unoccupied.
A containment perimeter was established by law enforcement officers, and a coordinated search ensued. Meanwhile, information was collected from the OSP agency partners regarding the suspected driver’s identity.
At about 5:20 p.m. the suspect was located within the containment area near Grocery Outlet in Rainier. The suspect's identity was confirmed as Davis Jeffery Hartman, 38, of Tacoma, WA., and he was taken into custody without incident.
As of early Friday, July 29, investigators had not released the specific charges that Hartman could face following the incident.
OSP is asking for anyone that witnessed the incident and/or was endangered by the suspect's behavior to call Oregon State Police Dispatch at 800-442-0776 and reference case # SP22193475.
St. Helens Police, Columbia County Sheriff’s Office deputies, Rainier Police, and the Washington State Patrol assisted OSP in the investigation.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)The Philadelphia 76ers are being investigated by the NBA for possible tampering in offseason free-agency moves involving James Harden, P.J. Tucker and Danuel House, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Friday night.
The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said the team is cooperating with the investigation.
Harden signed a deal worth slightly over $68 million, paying him about $33 million this season with a $35 million player option for the 2023-24 season. Harden, though, will make about $14.5 million less this coming season than he could have earned under his previous deal. Harden had a $47.4 million option for this coming season that he declined last month, saying he wanted to give the 76ers flexibility to improve their roster and compete for a championship.
ESPN reported Friday there are questions involving Harden and the Sixers having ”a handshake agreement in place on a future contract.”
”Taking less money this year to sign as many players as we needed to help us contend and be the last team standing was very, very important to me,” Harden said in an interview this month with The Associated Press. ”I wanted to show the organization, the Sixers fans and everybody else who supports what we’re trying to accomplish, what I’m trying to accomplish individually, that this is what I’m about.”
Tucker signed a $30 million, three-year contract and House signed for $8.4 million over two years. The Sixers were able to sign Tucker to the full mid-level exception and sign House to the bi-annual exception because Harden declined his option.
If Harden had opted in before his June 30 deadline, Philadelphia would have had a much more difficult time in finding financial pathways toward luring free agents.
The NBA approved stiffer penalties for tampering in 2019 and stripped a draft pick from both the Chicago Bulls for early contact with Lonzo Ball and the Miami Heat for doing the same with Kyle Lowry in the summer 2021.

CINCINNATI — Cedric Mullins hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in a four-run ninth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-2 Friday night to move two games over .500 for the first time since April 2021.
Baltimore had not been two games over since it was 4-2 last year. The Orioles, 37-25 following a 14-24 start, are two games over after the All-Star break for the first time since September 2017. Baltimore is 16-7 in July, assured of consecutive winning months for the first times since May and June 2016.
Ramón Urías walked against Buck Farmer (0-1) leading off the ninth, Rougned Oder doubled and Mullins grounded a first-pitch changeup up the middle and into center field for a 4-2 lead.
Trey Mancini followed with a potential double-play grounder only for the ball to hit second base and bound over the glove of second baseman Jonathan India for an RBI single. Ryan Mountcastle followed with a sacrifice fly.
Dauri Moreta hit Anthony Santander, who had three hits, with a pitch in the ninth. Santander took a few steps toward the moind and stared as benches and bullpens cleared. But order was quickly restored.
Dillon Tate (2-3) kept the score tied in the seventh. With two on and two outs, a first-pitch slider to Brandon Drury skipped away from Adley Rutschman as Michael Papierski scooted from second to third, where umpire Dan Bellino said he beat the throw from the rookie catcher and got around the tag from Urías. However, the Orioles challenged the call and Papierski was called out on a video review.
Joey Votto hit two-run homer in the first off Kyle Bradish, who made his first start since June 18 after a stint on the injured list caused by right shoulder inflammation. Bradish struck out seven in five innings, allowing five hits.
Santander hit a two-run homer in the sixth, his 18th this season and the 15th allowed by Mike Minor in 10 starts. Minor gave up four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings.

How these cute cut-out hearts help toddlers sleep through the night
By Merryn Porter |
Anyone who has had children knows how hard it can be getting little ones off to sleep.
If you think the baby stage is tough, it can be just as hard to get older children to sleep, with separation anxiety at night considered one of the top causes of toddler sleep regression.
Thankfully, an infant sleep consultant has shared a simple way to battle the problem — and it is taking the internet by storm. Best of all, you can try it at home with just some coloured paper and a pair of scissors.

Michelle is a certified infant sleep consultant and mother-of-two who offers online resources and services to help families with sleep issues.
Her business, Goodnight Charley, was inspired by the problems she had getting her daughter Charley off to sleep, and she shares her tips on the website, Instagram and TikTok account of the same name.
A video she uploaded this week suggests using cute cutout hearts to help toddlers cope with bedtime anxiety.
The video starts with Michelle using scissors to cut paper hearts out of coloured paper.

"Tip for toddler separation anxiety at bedtime," is written across the scene. "Cut out a whole bunch of hearts. Tell your toddler that you'll come and check on them in the night, and each time you'll leave a heart.
"When you say goodnight, give your toddler one of these hearts. Once they are asleep, sneak into their room and place the rest of the hearts in there.
"In the morning when they wake up, there will be a bunch of hearts. Count them with your toddler, and tell them that's how many times you were in their room to check on them and keep them safe.
"The goal is to help them feel safe and that they aren't alone at night."
She uploaded the video with the comment, "Toddler sleep comes with a whole new set of challenges than baby sleep, and while separation anxiety has some peaks with babies as well, it hits different with toddlers because of increased imagination and the overall realisation of how fun it is to be awake.
"It's not uncommon at many toddler ages to experience this, but particularly age three we see a peak in separation anxiety.
"I have many families come to me saying their child is requesting they stay with them until they fall asleep, have more nightmares, want cuddles in the night, and much more!
"Now, there is nothing wrong with cuddling your child, laying with them, and helping them feel safe. I do this with Charley often. BUT why not try other tools to help them feel safe and secure. Especially, if this goes on long term and you want to find some ways to get your sleep back!"
She uploaded the video with the hashtags #babysleep, #toddlersleep, #momlife, #Momtok #selfsoothing #sleeptraining #sleepconsulting.
It has so far been viewed more than 180,000 times and received almost 30,000 likes.
Many commenters loved the idea. "Saving this for sure. Clever way to let them know they're safe and loved," wrote one. "I can't wait to do this! Gorgeous idea," said another.
"This is the sweetest depiction of love," wrote another. "My son is eight and still wants me to check on him. I love this idea. He will literally ask me as he's falling asleep if I'm still going to check on him."
But others were not sold on the idea.
"My daughter would stay awake to wait for me to come," wrote one.
"If I went in my daughter's room I guarantee I would wake her up," said another.
Predictably, others thought it was a form of lying.
"Cute but I'm not gonna lie to her," said one, to which Michelle responded, "If you're here to comment and assume this is lying to your child, then don't. This creates a visual for toddlers to understand you are checking on them. Because I do check on her through the monitor, enter her room, etc. Multiple times."

NEW ORLEANS, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE: GEO).
The Company has been the subject of several lawsuits arising from alleged substandard conditions, inadequate medical care and overcrowding at some of its prison facilities; however, in numerous instances it downplayed to investors the expense and financial risks posed by the litigation. In July 2019, news reports revealed correspondence sent by the Company to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") requesting its help to cover the expense of the litigation, which it was "deeply alarmed at the rapidly increasing costs in defending…without reimbursement from ICE" and which was "likely to cost $15-20 million with an expense of tens of millions in the event of a final negative ruling by the courts," because the Company "cannot bear the costs of this defense on its own."
Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether GEO Group's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
If you have information that would assist KSF in its investigation, or have been a long-term holder of GEO Group shares and would like to discuss your legal rights, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-877-515-1850 or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com), or visit https://www.ksfcounsel.com/cases/nyse-geo/ to learn more.

WATCH: Crews rescue woman trapped in car amid rising flood waters
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. (Arizona’s Family/Gray News) - Residents outside of Phoenix woke up Friday to the aftermath of extensive flooding in the area.
Officials in Apache Junction confirmed at least five people had to be rescued, with others swept away in their vehicles.
Arizona’s Family reports authorities released body camera video showing one of the rescues, where a woman, later identified as Sur Teders, could be heard calling to officers for assistance with her dog also needing help.
The woman’s grandson, Connor Smith, said he came to her aid but couldn’t reach her because of the floodwaters, and that’s when he called 911.
Smith said his grandmother was physically OK after the incident, but the family has lost their dog. Teders’ granddaughter posted about the ordeal on social media and urged the community to participate in the search for their pet.
Authorities said multiple rescues were completed Thursday night as residents got caught in the rushing water. Crews also rescued a person from their home after floodwaters trapped them inside.
The city reported rescue crews were out Friday morning to clear roadways of dirt and debris.
Apache Junction city officials said most streets were open Friday evening, but drivers were still urged to use caution.

NEW ORLEANS, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Piedmont Lithium Inc. (NasdaqCM: PLL).
On July 20, 2021, news sources reported that, contrary to the Company's statements regarding the progress of its project to construct a lithium mining facility in Gaston County, North Carolina, it had done nothing to obtain state mining permits or zoning variances, and that five of the seven members of the county's board of commissioners were likely to block or delay the project because, among other things, Piedmont had not informed them of the environmental impact of the project.
Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Piedmont's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.

De Minaur into 'Hotlanta' Open semi-finals
Alex de Minaur has rallied in the Georgia heat to surge into the Atlanta Open semi-finals with a victory over Italy's Adrian Mannarino.
The Australian third seed triumphed 4-6 6-3 6-0 in their quarter-final played in the baking afternoon sun on Friday.
Seeking his first title of the year, De Minaur, the 2019 champion, is set to meet world No.53 Ilya Ivashka in the semis after the Belarussian accounted for American Tommy Paul 6-2 3-6 6-1.
"It's not called Hotlanta for nothing, that's for sure," world No.30 De Minaur said.
"It's definitely a hot one today. I had to absolutely battle, but jeez it feels good to get on top in these types of matches.
"Very proud of myself, very proud of my attitude. I didn't give in and managed to fight until the end. I'm happy to live another day."
The other semi-final pits fourth seed Francis Tiafoe against fellow American Jenson Brooksby, the sixth seed.
Tiafoe comfortably beat Brandon Nakashima 6-4 6-2 while Brooksby eliminated reigning and six-time Atlanta champion John Isner 3-6 6-1 6-4. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11063965/De-Minaur-Hotlanta-Open-semi-finals.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-30T04:02:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11063965/De-Minaur-Hotlanta-Open-semi-finals.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

Governor: Search for Kentucky flood victims could take weeks
JACKSON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky’s governor said it could take weeks to find all the victims of flash flooding that killed at least 16 people when torrential rains swamped towns across Appalachia.
More rainstorms are forecast in coming days as rescue crews continue the struggle to get into hard-hit areas, some of them among the poorest places in America.
The rain let up early Friday after parts of eastern Kentucky received between 8 and 10 1/2 inches (20-27 centimeters) over 48 hours. But some waterways were not expected to crest until Saturday and Gov. Andy Beshear warned the death toll could rise further.
“From everything we’ve seen, we may be updating the count of how many we lost for the next several weeks,” Beshear said. “In some of these areas, it’s hard to know exactly how many people were there.”
Patricia Colombo, 63, of Hazard, Kentucky, became stranded when her car stalled in floodwaters on a state highway. Colombo began to panic when water started rushing in. Though her phone was dead, she saw a helicopter overhead and waved it down. The helicopter crew radioed a ground team that plucked her to safety.
Colombo stayed the night at her fiance’s home in Jackson and they took turns sleeping, repeatedly checking the water with flashlights to see if it was rising. Though her car was a loss, Colombo said others had it worse in a region where poverty is endemic.
“Many of these people cannot recover out here. They have homes that are half underwater, they’ve lost everything,” she said.
It’s the latest in a string of catastrophic deluges that have pounded parts of the U.S. this summer, including St. Louis earlier this week and again on Friday. Scientists warn climate change is making weather disasters more common.
As rainfall hammered Appalachia this week, water tumbled down hillsides and into valleys and hollows where it swelled creeks and streams coursing through small towns. The torrent engulfed homes and businesses and trashed vehicles. Mudslides marooned some people on steep slopes.
Rescue teams backed by the National Guard used helicopters and boats to search for the missing. Beshear said Friday that at least six children were among the victims and that the total number of lives lost could more than double as rescue teams reach more areas. Among those who died were four children from the same family in Knott County, the county coroner said Friday.
President Joe Biden said in a social media post that he spoke Friday with Beshear and offered the federal government’s support. Biden also declared a federal disaster to direct relief money to more than a dozen Kentucky counties.
The flooding extended into western Virginia and southern West Virginia.
Gov. Jim Justice declared a state of emergency for six counties in West Virginia where the flooding downed trees, power outages and blocked roads. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin also made an emergency declaration, enabling officials to mobilize resources across the flooded southwest of the state.
More than 20,000 utility customers in Kentucky and almost 6,100 in Virginia remained without power late Friday, poweroutage.us reported.
Extreme rain events have become more common as climate change bakes the planet and alters weather patterns, according to scientists. That’s a growing challenge for officials during disasters, because models used to predict storm impacts are in part based on past events and can’t keep up with increasingly devastating flash floods and heat waves like those that have recently hit the Pacific Northwest and southern Plains.
“It’s a battle of extremes going on right now in the United States,” said University of Oklahoma meteorologist Jason Furtado. “These are things we expect to happen because of climate change. ... A warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor and that means you can produce increased heavy rainfall.”
The deluge came two days after record rains around St. Louis dropped more than 12 inches (31 centimeters) and killed at least two people. Last month, heavy rain on mountain snow in Yellowstone National Park triggered historic flooding and the evacuation of more than 10,000 people. In both instances, the rain flooding far exceeded what forecasters predicted.
The floodwaters raging through Appalachia were so swift that some people trapped in their homes couldn’t be immediately reached, said Floyd County Judge-Executive Robbie Williams.
Just to the west in hard-hit Perry County, authorities said some people remained unaccounted for and almost everyone in the area suffered some sort of damage.
“We’ve still got a lot of searching to do,” said Jerry Stacy, the county’s emergency management director.
More than 330 people have sought shelter, Beshear said. And with property damage so extensive, the governor opened an online portal for donations to the victims.
Beshear predicted that it would take more than a year to fully rebuild.
The governor got a look at the flooding from aboard a helicopter Friday.
“Hundreds of homes, the ballfields, the parks, businesses under more water than I think any of us have ever seen in that area,” the governor said. “Absolutely impassable in numerous spots. Just devastating.”
Portions of at least 28 state roads in Kentucky were blocked due to flooding or mudslides, Beshear said. Rescue crews in Virginia and West Virginia worked to reach people where roads weren’t passable.

BOSTON (AP) — Christian Yelich drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the seventh inning, Brandon Woodruff struck out nine and the Milwaukee Brewers returned to Boston for the first time in eight years and beat the Red Sox 4-1 on Friday night.
Andrew McCutchen had a run-scoring fielder's choice and Tyrone Taylor added a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The Brewers improved to 6-1 since the All-Star break and won in their first game at Fenway Park since completing a three-game interleague sweep in April 2014.
Woodruff (9-3) went 6 1/3 innings, allowing one run and four hits and two walks.
“From the second on, I was just able to get ahead,” said Woodruff, who allowed just one hit through the first five innings. “That’s the biggest thing. If I can just get ahead and mix it up a little bit ... typically it leads to a good night but they put some at-bats together and made it pretty tough.”
The game was scoreless until the sixth when the Brewers finally got to rookie Brayan Bello (0-3) in an extended relief outing he was initially set to start. Boston manager Alex Cora made a game-day shuffle in the rotation by bumping Bello, who struggled through his first three career starts, to the bullpen and starting lefty Austin Davis instead.
Davis gave Boston two solid innings, then Bello managed to get himself out of a couple of jams over a three-inning stretch until the Brewers finally broke through in the sixth and seventh with Yelich coming through with key hits in both.
Yelich led off the sixth with a double and scored on McCutcheon's fielder's choice for the game's first run, then the Brewers took a 2-1 lead in the seventh after Tyrone Taylor lined a two-out triple to Fenway Park's dreaded triangle in center field.
Ryan Brasier came out of the bullpen to face Yelich, who drove the first pitch he saw for a single to left.
"He’s swinging it good and that was an important run. Obviously, they put one together against Woody with some two-out stuff, so to get the lead right back was big," Counsell said.
The run was charged to Bello, who went 4 1/3 innings and allowed two runs and four hits. He walked three, one intentionally, and struck out four.
Cora said Brasier's pitch to Yelich caught too much of the plate.
“It was the match-up we wanted,” Cora said. “We were looking for a swing and miss and we didn’t get it.”
Boston threatened in the eighth with two men on and one out, but Devin Williams got Bogaerts swinging one night after he blasted a three-run homer late in a 4-2 win over Cleveland.
Woodruff retired 11 straight batters from the third, when he struck out the side, until the sixth, when Christian Vázquez lined a two-out double to center. Verdugo followed with a double to left just out of Yelich’s reach at the base of the Green Monster to tie the score 1-all.
Brad Boxberger replaced Woodruff with one out in the seventh after Boston got two on with one out. Franchy Cordero hit a one-out single and Bobby Dalbec drew a walk. Boxberger got Jackie Bradley Jr. swinging, then Yolmer Sánchez hit a soft pop-out to short.
Josh Hader struck out three in the ninth to pick up his 29th save.
The Red Sox are just 2-5 on current 10-game homestand — their longest of the season — and 4-9 in the last 13 at Fenway. They are 3-12 in their last 15 overall.
NOW PITCHING
Bello started by hitting Tyrone Taylor with a 3-2 pitch, then got Yelich swinging and picked up two more strikeouts in the fourth. He walked back-to-back batters with one out in the fifth, but got out of the jam when he got Taylor to ground into a double play.
Cora said Bello pitched well despite getting tagged with another loss.
“Usually they don’t swing a lot. They’re very patient and he got a lot of swings from them — a lot of weak contact,” Cora said. ”It was good to see him compete that way. He made some pitches.
WELCOME BACK
Hunter Renfroe, who drove in 96 runs for the Red Sox last season, got a short but warm welcome in his return to Boston.
BACK IN RED
The Red Sox ditched their alternate yellow jerseys after donning them for four straight games in a 2-2 split against Cleveland. Boston is 7-2 this season in yellow but went with red jerseys Friday night instead of their traditional all-white home uniforms.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: 2B Trevor Story was scheduled to see a hand specialist Friday for soreness he’s still feeling more than two weeks after getting hit on the right wrist with a pitch. Cora said Story felt his recovery wasn’t progressing as quickly as he hoped. “He still feels it when he hits. He doesn’t feel it when he throws,” Cora said. ... LHP Rich Hill (sprained left knee) will be activated next week when the Red Sox visit Houston in a three-game series starting Monday, Cora said. Hill made a rehab start with Double-A Portland on Thursday, striking out five and allowing one run in three innings. ... Signed SS Jose Peraza to a minor-league deal. Peraza played 34 games for Boston in 2020.

Preemies' Increased Survival Comes With No Rise in Disabilities: Study
The study included almost 500 children in Sweden who were born extremely premature (before 27 weeks of gestation) and assessed when they were 30 months old. The children, born between 2004 and 2007, were checked for disabilities such as cerebral palsy, impaired mental development, and vision and hearing problems.
Forty-two percent of extremely premature children had no disability (compared with 78 percent of full-term children), 31 percent had a mild disability, 16 percent had a moderate disability and 11 percent had a severe disability.
The more premature the birth, the more likely a child was to have a moderate or severe disability, according to the study, which was published in the May 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In recent decades, improved treatment and care has increased the likelihood that extremely premature infants will survive, and this has led to concerns that the cost of better survival rates may mean more children with disabilities.
"Improved survival did not translate into increasing disability rates, and we, like others, believe that the neurodevelopmental outcome for extremely preterm children born in the 2000s will be better than for those born in the 1990s," Dr. Fredrik Serenius, of Uppsala University, and colleagues said in a journal news release.
Even so, the risk of disability among extremely premature infants is high and shows the need for further improvements in care, including better infection control and improved nutrition, the researchers said.

No reported injuries in connection with gun incident at Arizona Mills
Reports of an armed man at Arizona Mills have prompted multiple agencies to respond Friday evening.
Tempe authorities believe the incident occurred inside the mall. Officers aided in clearing the mall, trying to find those involved. Tempe police say no injuries have been reported.
"About 6:30 this evening, we started receiving calls from folks inside the mall saying there was an active shooter," Sergeant Hector Encinas said during a press briefing. "The details are going to be muddled right now because it was such a large gathering of folks."
Encinas said that there was a fight between "several individuals" near the Starbucks area in the mall.
"Some say it was physical, some say it was just verbal... we're trying to figure that out right now," Encinas said.
Encinas said one man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at another man that he was engaged in an altercation with. Those involved then ran inside the mall, police said. People then sheltered in place within the mall and security officials made efforts to clear the building.
Hassan Odeh, the owner of the clothing store Future Rfrnce, said he hadn’t heard any gunshots but noticed people running from the mall shortly before numerous police officers arrived. Officers told Odeh and his customers to shelter in place as they searched the mall.
“We didn’t know at first that it could have been a shooting or not,” Odeh said. He only learned about a potential shooter after checking television.
Odeh said he had his employees and customers move toward the back of the store in case there was an active shooter but the heavy police presence helped allay some of his concerns.
Odeh said it was a shame that people resort to potentially lethal action during an argument — especially if the argument takes place in a public area.
Odeh said he’s seen customers openly carry firearms at the mall before and wished people would be more careful about how they used them.
It is unclear who was involved and no suspects have been identified. There are no reported injuries.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said Friday there should no longer be any doubt that Russia intends to dismantle Ukraine “and dissolve it from the world map entirely.”
Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the U.N. Security Council that the United States is seeing growing signs that Russia is laying the groundwork to attempt to annex all of the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk and the southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, including by installing “illegitimate proxy officials in Russian-held areas, with the goal of holding sham referenda or decree to join Russia.”
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov “has even stated that this is Russia’s war aim,” she said.
Lavrov told an Arab summit in Cairo on Sunday that Moscow’s overarching goal in Ukraine is to free its people from its “unacceptable regime.”
Apparently suggesting that Moscow’s war aims extend beyond Ukraine’s industrial Donbas region in the east comprising Donetsk and Luhansk, Lavrov said: “We will certainly help the Ukrainian people to get rid of the regime, which is absolutely anti-people and anti-historical.”
Russia’s deputy U.N. ambassador Dmitry Polyansky told the Security Council on Friday that “The de-Nazification and demilitarization of Ukraine will be carried out in full.”
“There must no longer be a threat from this stage to Donbas, nor to Russia, nor to the liberated Ukrainian territories where for the first time in several years people are finally able to feel that they can live the way they want,” he said.
Polyansky also warned Western nations supplying long-range artillery and MLRS surface-to-surface rockets that they were shifting “the provisional security line” further toward the west, “and in so doing clarifying even further the aims and objectives of our special military operation.”
Thomas-Greenfield went after countries that say “one country’s security should not come at the expense of another’s,” asking what they call Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She didn’t name any country but this is a view China has repeated frequently, including Friday by its deputy U.N. ambassador Geng Shuang.
He told the council, “Putting one’s own security above that of others, attempting to strengthen military blocs, establishing absolute superiority … will only lead to conflict and confrontation, divide the international community and make themselves less secure.”
The U.S. ambassador also went after nations that call for all countries to embrace diplomacy without naming Russia, saying: “Let us be clear: Russia’s ongoing actions are the obstacle to a resolution to this crisis.” Again she named no countries but a significant number of nations in Africa, Asia and the Mideast take this approach.
Thomas-Greenfield cited evidence of mounting atrocities including the reported bombings of schools and hospitals, “the killing of aid workers and journalists, the targeting of civilians attempting to flee, the brutal execution-style murder of those going about their daily business in Bucha,” the suburb of Ukraine’s capital Kyiv where local authorities said hundreds of people were killed during its occupation by Russian forces.
She said there is evidence Russia forces “have interrogated, detained forcibly, deported an estimated hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens, including children — tearing them from their homes and sending them to remote regions in the east.”
Nearly 2 million Ukrainians refugees have been sent to Russia, according to both Ukrainian and Russian officials. Ukraine portrays these journeys as forced transfers to enemy soil, which is considered a war crime. Russia calls them humanitarian evacuations of war victims who already speak Russian and are grateful for a new home.
A recent Associated Press investigation based on dozens of interviews has found that while the situation is more nuanced that the Ukrainians suggest, many refugees are indeed forced to embark on a surreal trip into Russia, subjected along the way to human rights abuses, stripped of documents and left confused and lost about where they are. Those who leave go through a series of what are known as filtration points, where treatment ranges from interrogation and strip searches to being yanked aside and never seen again.
“The United Nations has information that officials from Russia’s presidential administration are overseeing and coordinating filtration operations,” Thomas-Greenfield told the council.”
Polyansky countered that despite Ukraine’s efforts at intimidation of their citizens “people are choosing the country that they trust” — Russia.
He warned that heavy weapons being poured into Ukraine by the West “will spill over into Europe” because of what he claimed is “the flourishing corruption among Ukraine’s political and military leadership.”
Polyansky said Western weapons are only “dragging out the agony and increasing the suffering of the Ukrainian people.”
Addressing Western ambassadors, he said: “The aims of our special military operation will be achieved either way, however much fuel you pour into the fire in the form of weapons.” | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/us-envoy-russia-intends-to-dissolve-ukraine-from-world-map/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-07-30T04:25:35Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/us-envoy-russia-intends-to-dissolve-ukraine-from-world-map/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | true |

Thomas-Greenfield went after countries that say “one country’s security should not come at the expense of another’s,” asking what they call Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She didn’t name any country but this is a view China has repeated frequently, including Friday by its deputy U.N. ambassador Geng Shuang.
He told the council, “Putting one’s own security above that of others, attempting to strengthen military blocs, establishing absolute superiority ... will only lead to conflict and confrontation, divide the international community and make themselves less secure.”
The U.S. ambassador also went after nations that call for all countries to embrace diplomacy without naming Russia, saying: “Let us be clear: Russia’s ongoing actions are the obstacle to a resolution to this crisis.” Again she named no countries but a significant number of nations in Africa, Asia and the Mideast take this approach.
Thomas-Greenfield cited evidence of mounting atrocities including the reported bombings of schools and hospitals, “the killing of aid workers and journalists, the targeting of civilians attempting to flee, the brutal execution-style murder of those going about their daily business in Bucha,” the suburb of Ukraine’s capital Kyiv where local authorities said hundreds of people were killed during its occupation by Russian forces.
She said there is evidence Russia forces “have interrogated, detained forcibly, deported an estimated hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens, including children -- tearing them from their homes and sending them to remote regions in the east.”
Nearly 2 million Ukrainians refugees have been sent to Russia, according to both Ukrainian and Russian officials. Ukraine portrays these journeys as forced transfers to enemy soil, which is considered a war crime. Russia calls them humanitarian evacuations of war victims who already speak Russian and are grateful for a new home.
A recent Associated Press investigation based on dozens of interviews has found that while the situation is more nuanced that the Ukrainians suggest, many refugees are indeed forced to embark on a surreal trip into Russia, subjected along the way to human rights abuses, stripped of documents and left confused and lost about where they are. Those who leave go through a series of what are known as filtration points, where treatment ranges from interrogation and strip searches to being yanked aside and never seen again.
“The United Nations has information that officials from Russia’s presidential administration are overseeing and coordinating filtration operations,” Thomas-Greenfield told the council.”
Polyansky countered that despite Ukraine’s efforts at intimidation of their citizens “people are choosing the country that they trust” -- Russia.
He warned that heavy weapons being poured into Ukraine by the West “will spill over into Europe” because of what he claimed is “the flourishing corruption among Ukraine’s political and military leadership.”
Polyansky said Western weapons are only “dragging out the agony and increasing the suffering of the Ukrainian people.”
Addressing Western ambassadors, he said: “The aims of our special military operation will be achieved either way, however much fuel you pour into the fire in the form of weapons.”

NEW YORK, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGTX) between January 15, 2020 and May 31, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important September 16, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased TG Therapeutics securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the TG Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7662 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 16, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) clinical trials revealed significant concerns related to the benefit-risk ratio and overall survival data of Ublituximab (an investigational glycoengineered monoclonal antibody for the treatment of B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia ("CLL"), and relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis) and Umbralisib (or UKONIQ, an oral inhibitor of PI3K-delta and CK1-epsilon for the treatment of CLL, marginal zone lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma); (2) accordingly, it was unlikely that TG Therapeutics would be able to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of the marginal zone lymphoma ("MZL") and follicular lymphoma ("FL") (the "Umbralisib MZL/FL NDA"), the rolling submission of a Biologics License Application ("BLA") to the FDA for Ublituximab in combination with Umbralisib (together, "U2"), as a treatment for patients with CLL (the "U2 BLA"), the supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") for Umbralisib to add an indication for CLL and small lymphocytic lymphoma ("SLL") in combination with Ublituximab (the "U2 sNDA"), or the Ublituximab as a treatment for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis ("RMS") (the "Ublituximab RMS BLA") in their current forms; (3) as a result, TG Therapeutics had significantly overstated Ublituximab and Umbralisib's clinical and/or commercial prospects; and (4) therefore, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the TG Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7662 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

NEW ORLEANS, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE: GEO).
The Company has been the subject of several lawsuits arising from alleged substandard conditions, inadequate medical care and overcrowding at some of its prison facilities; however, in numerous instances it downplayed to investors the expense and financial risks posed by the litigation. In July 2019, news reports revealed correspondence sent by the Company to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") requesting its help to cover the expense of the litigation, which it was "deeply alarmed at the rapidly increasing costs in defending…without reimbursement from ICE" and which was "likely to cost $15-20 million with an expense of tens of millions in the event of a final negative ruling by the courts," because the Company "cannot bear the costs of this defense on its own."
Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether GEO Group's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
If you have information that would assist KSF in its investigation, or have been a long-term holder of GEO Group shares and would like to discuss your legal rights, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-877-515-1850 or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com), or visit https://www.ksfcounsel.com/cases/nyse-geo/ to learn more.
KSF, whose partners include former Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr., is one of the nation's premier boutique securities litigation law firms. KSF serves a variety of clients – including public institutional investors, hedge funds, money managers and retail investors – in seeking recoveries for investment losses emanating from corporate fraud or malfeasance by publicly traded companies.

The BLIND para-triathlete who has attempted to climb Mt Everest and competed on Dancing With The Stars is making his debut Commonwealth Games his sporting swansong
- Legendary Paralympian Gerrard Gosens is preparing for sporting swansong
- Para-triathlete will compete in Sunday's Commonwealth Games men's event
- Blind athlete previously represented Australia in goalball as well as athletics
Veteran blind Paralympian Gerrard Gosens has confirmed the Birmingham Commonwealth Games will be his sporting swansong.
Gosens, 52, who bravely attempted to climb Mt Everest in 2005 and previously competed on Dancing With The Stars, will line up in the men's PTVI triathlon.
Having represented Australia in multiple sports for over 30 years, Gosens has declared Birmingham will be the final time he graces the international stage.
He first wore the green and gold at the 1996 Paralympics in Atlanta.
'It's time to hang up the boots and support other athletes on their journey to represent Australia,' he said.

'This is my swansong, I'll give it everything I've got until the last line.'
Happy to sign off on his own terms, Gosens' preparation for Birmingham were almost derailed in March.
A serious bike accident left him hospitalised for more than two weeks with multiple broken bones, and Gosens is now sporting a titanium collarbone and eight titanium ribs.
When he isn't running, swimming or on the bike, Gosens' other life passion is chocolate.
He has been a chocolatier for 15 years, hand-making tasty treats out of his family business in Brisbane.
Having represented Australia in multiple sports for over 30 years, Gosens has declared Birmingham will be the final time he graces the international stage
Gosens attempted to climb Mt Everest in 2005 - but his dreams were dashed when he fell down a crevasse his guide forgot to tell him about
Gosens, who was awarded an OAM in 2012 for service to people who are blind or vision impaired as well as his personal contribution in the field of sport, previously represented Australia in athletics and goalball.
The father of two will soon switch his focus to mentoring emerging stars, and he acknowledged acceptance of Paralympic athletes has increased over time.
'If you look back to the 1990 Commonwealth Games, back then there was a lot of resistance towards people with disabilities participating,' he told the ABC.
'Now there's a real inclusion across a whole range of different sports, but the pathway (programs) still need a lot of work.'
Gosens is in action in the men's PTVI triathlon on Sunday night (AEST). | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/article-11063827/The-BLIND-para-triathlete-making-debut-Commonwealth-Games-sporting-swansong.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-30T04:41:27Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/article-11063827/The-BLIND-para-triathlete-making-debut-Commonwealth-Games-sporting-swansong.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Tim Penny: Early literacy promotes lifelong success
Published 5:25 pm Friday, July 29, 2022
As summer days turn into evenings, many parents pull out a book or two to read to their kids at bedtime. This is important because studies consistently show that reading at a young age drastically improves a child’s educational trajectory. At Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) we know it is important to invest in early literacy efforts as a long-term strategy to support lifelong success.
According to Minnesota Compass, the ability to read by the end of third grade often predicts future academic and life success. Sadly, only forty-eight percent of third graders in Minnesota are proficient in reading, and our 20-county region is just a fraction above the statewide average.
One way SMIF supports these literacy efforts is through our Early Literacy Grant program. We recently distributed more than 21,000 books – English, Spanish and bilingual – to 46 organizations in our region through this grant. These organizations – libraries, schools, public health organizations, reading centers, and more – work with children birth to age eight. The beauty of this program is that these organizations will distribute the books to children who will be able to take them home, hopefully encouraging a lifelong love of reading.
Minnesota-based publishing companies, ABDO and Capstone, generously donate the majority of the books for this program. Over the years of partnering with these companies, we have been able to distribute more than one hundred thousand books throughout the region.
Our AmeriCorps LEAP Initiative program is another way we facilitate early literacy. LEAP stands for Learning Early Achieves Potential, which is the mantra that guides this program.
Each year, AmeriCorps members are placed throughout the region at preschools and nonprofit organizations. Our members work on social and emotional development with children who are at risk of falling behind. Reading exercises are a major part of the program.As we continue to invest in early literacy efforts, we hope to see reading proficiencies rise in our region. Our partner organizations and grant recipients are doing wonderful work ensuring that our future adults will be prepared for success in life. We are proud to be a partner in these efforts.
We are currently seeking AmeriCorps members for our 2022 – 2023 term. Contact Barbara Gunderson at 507-456-0353 or barbarag@smifoundation.org to learn more.
As always, I welcome your comments and questions. You can reach me at timp@smifoundation.org or 507-455-3215. | https://www.austindailyherald.com/2022/07/tim-penny-early-literacy-promotes-lifelong-success/ | 2022-07-30T04:51:59Z | https://www.austindailyherald.com/2022/07/tim-penny-early-literacy-promotes-lifelong-success/ | true |

Imanol Vargas hit two solo home runs and Jose Ramos hit a two-run shot to lift the Great Lakes Loons to their third straight win, a 7-2 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts at Dow Diamond on Friday night.
In front of a crowd of 3,671, Vargas homered with one out in the bottom of the second to put Great Lakes up 1-0.
After the Lugnuts came back to take a 2-1 lead, Ramos and Vargas took care of business in the bottom of the sixth. Ramos's two-run blast was followed by Vargas's second round-tripper of the night to put the Loons up 4-2. Both players now have 14 homers on the year.
On the mound, Loons starter Nick Nastrini (4-3) earned the win despite allowing Tyler Soderstrom's 20th homer, a solo shot in the top of the sixth. Nastrini gave up two runs on four hits and two walks in six innings. Jeff Belge, Ben Harris and Ryan Sublette each pitched one inning in relief and combined to allow three hits and no walks. Sublette earned his sixth save.
Friday marked the second straight night of home-run heroics for Great Lakes after Diego Cartaya had hit a pair of two-run homers in Thursday's 7-2 Loons win.
The Loons (57-37) and Lugnuts (36-58) play the fifth of a six-game series on Saturday at 7:05 p.m. at Dow Diamond. It's Princess & Pirate Night and Faith & Family Night, along with a postgame Fireworks Loontacular. | https://www.ourmidland.com/sports/article/Firepower-of-Vargas-Ramos-leads-Loons-to-3rd-17339593.php | 2022-07-30T04:55:14Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/sports/article/Firepower-of-Vargas-Ramos-leads-Loons-to-3rd-17339593.php | false |
NEW ORLEANS, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Piedmont Lithium Inc. (NasdaqCM: PLL).
On July 20, 2021, news sources reported that, contrary to the Company's statements regarding the progress of its project to construct a lithium mining facility in Gaston County, North Carolina, it had done nothing to obtain state mining permits or zoning variances, and that five of the seven members of the county's board of commissioners were likely to block or delay the project because, among other things, Piedmont had not informed them of the environmental impact of the project.
Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Piedmont's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
If you have information that would assist KSF in its investigation, or have been a long-term holder of Piedmont shares and would like to discuss your legal rights, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-877-515-1850 or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com), or visit https://www.ksfcounsel.com/cases/nasdaqcm-pll/ to learn more.

At least 32.6 million complete Bible editions were distributed last year following the “covid pandemic-related slump in Bible distribution in the previous year”, an increase of 5.5% in 2021 compared to 2020.
Around 20% of all distributed Bibles were downloaded from the internet
The report confirms distribution of digital editions “is playing an increasingly important role, especially in crisis regions” such as Mozambique.
The Bible Society says they provided a digital Bible edition to 51,000 people.
However, dstribution containing only the New Testament was down, going from 5.7m to 5.1 m in 2021.
Horst Scheurenbrand, head of World Bible Aid at the German Bible Society said: “Apart from Europe, more full Bibles were distributed on every continent than in the previous year. This is a good sign after the decline the year before”.
For thousands of years, the prophet Moses was regarded as the sole author of the first five Biblical books, known as the Pentateuch. Early Biblical stories were passed down orally and only written down later by various authors.
Most Biblical scholars believe Genesis was the first book written down. This would have happened around 1450 BC to 1400 BC, about 3,400 years ago. | https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/people/bible-which-traces-back-3400-years-is-still-global-best-seller-3785950 | 2022-07-30T05:15:35Z | https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/people/bible-which-traces-back-3400-years-is-still-global-best-seller-3785950 | true |
Jacksonville State will face Eastern Michigan in a home-and-home series in 2023 and 2024, according to a report from FBschedules.com.
Eastern Michigan will play at JSU on Sept. 23, 2023, and the Gamecocks will make the trip to Ypsilanti, Mich., to play at Eastern Michigan on Sept. 14, 2024. Eastern Michigan confirmed the series on a schedule page in its 2022 football media guide.
Eastern Michigan is an FBS program that plays in the Mid-American Conference. JSU is playing in the ASUN Conference this year in its last season in the FCS, but the Gamecocks will move to Conference USA next summer.
The two teams never have played in football.
In 2023, JSU also has a home game against Kennesaw State on Sept. 2 and at South Carolina on Nov. 4. Those two games and the Eastern Michigan contest are the only three games made public for JSU's 2023 football schedule.

HOUSTON (AP) — Justin Verlander pitched one-run ball into the eighth inning and won his MLB-leading 14th game, Aledmys Díaz hit two homers and Yordan Alvarez slugged his 30th home run of the season as the Houston Astros beat the Seattle Mariners 11-1 on Friday night.
Verlander (14-3) allowed one run in 7 2/3 innings, with five hits and five strikeouts in outdueling Seattle’s Robbie Ray, last year’s AL Cy Young Award winner.
Verlander held Seattle scoreless until Jesse Winker and Julio Rodríguez doubled in the seventh inning.
“He didn’t have a lot of strikeouts, but he had them off balance,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “He was dealing. We got him some runs, and it’s hard sometimes for a pitcher who gets that kind of run support to still concentrate on getting the hitters out, but he’s a strong-minded guy. It was like the game was 0-0. He just kept pitching.”
Verlander allowed just three earned runs in four starts and 26 2/3 innings in July. The 39-year-old right-hander, in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, has allowed one earned run or less in six straight starts.
Verlander received a standing ovation as he walked off the field and tipped his hat to the packed house.
“It was an amazing ovation,” Verlander said. “The fans are incredible. It felt really special to have them acknowledge me like that. A sellout crowd, per usual, and it’s just nice to go out and perform and have them support you like that.”
Also Friday, the Mariners made a move to strengthen their pitching, acquiring the top starting pitcher on the trade market, getting All-Star Luis Castillo from the payroll-paring Cincinnati Reds for four minor league prospects.
“He’s one of the best pitchers in the game — he’s really established himself as a dominant starter,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “We’ve got a chance to do something really big here this year. You have to step out and take a chance once in a while if you ultimately want to get the reward, take a little risk. Dominant starting pitcher, and I’m anxious to meet him.”
Cincinnati obtained infielders Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo, and right-handers Levi Stoudt and Andrew Moore. Marte was the Mariners’ top-rated prospect, Arroyo was third and Stoudt fifth.
Seattle has not been to the playoffs since 2001, the longest postseason drought in the four major North American professional sports.
The Astros chased Ray (8-8) by scoring three runs in the third inning. Ray gave up singles to Yuli Gurriel and Alvarez and a two-run double to Alex Bregman that put Houston up 4-0.
Díaz sent a Ray pitch 401 feet onto the left-field train tracks in the second inning. Díaz added another solo homer in the eighth inning off catcher Luis Torrens.
“The last month, I’ve been feeling great at the plate,” Díaz said. “I’m glad I got a chance to be in the lineup and contribute to the win.”
Ray worked just 2 2/3 innings, giving up five hits and four runs on 84 pitches. He has been hit hard by Houston this season, giving up 14 runs in 10 2/3 innings in three starts.
Bregman added another RBI in the fourth inning on a single off Penn Murfee to left-center that scored Gurriel to put Houston up 5-0.
Alvarez’s homer to deep right-center field came in the sixth inning off an 85 mph fastball from Tommy Millone. Astros center fielder Mauricio Dubón also homered in the sixth, a shot near the left-field foul pole off Millone that put Houston up 9-0.
Houston has won five straight against Seattle and leads the season series 11-6. The Astros are 34-19 against the AL West this season.
Seattle is 17-5 in its last 22 games, with all five losses coming against Houston. The Mariners haven’t lost to a team except the Astros since July 1.
“Obviously, not our night,” Servais said. “They were all over Robbie again. We just couldn’t get anything going. You’re going to have these games every once in a while, and we haven’t had a game like this in a long, long time.”
VERLANDER EYEING ANOTHER CY YOUNG?
“I can’t really put into words what that would mean,” he said. “All of this is just such a blessing after the last couple of years, with Tommy John. To be able to be back and be successful, there were a lot of doubters, but I just had to believe in myself, and my family had my back, and my teammates had my back. If that were to happen, that would be incredible.”
YORDAN ‘APPROACHING EXCELLENCE’
“I’ve been around some great hitters, and he’s fast approaching that area of excellence. Just keep it coming.” — Astros manager Dusty Baker on Alvarez.
MACHETE MALDONADO
Mariners OF Julio Rodriguez was caught trying to steal second base in the first inning by Astros catcher Martin Maldonado. Rodriguez leads AL rookies with 21 steals on 26 attempts, but Maldonado caught him for his eighth of the season on 25 attempts.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: After RHP Diego Castillo was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday night with right shoulder inflammation, the Mariners recalled RHP Matt Brash from Triple-A Tacoma. On Friday, the team claimed RHP Phillips Valdez off waivers from Boston and optioned him to Tacoma.
Astros: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. continues to make progress in his rehab from a forearm strain in the offseason. He will make his third rehab start on Tuesday night at Triple-A Sugar Land.
UP NEXT
Mariners: Chris Flexen (7-8, 3.75) starts for Seattle on Saturday, hoping to close out an impressive July in which he has a 1.61 ERA in four starts, all of which the Mariners have won.
Astros: Framber Valdez (9-4, 2.74) will start Saturday, six days after he held the Mariners to three runs in 6 2/3 innings in an 8-5 win in Seattle on Sunday.

Suspect allegedly lured 18-year-old to New York, forced her into prostitution
Allen Barrington of Brooklyn is charged with sex trafficking, promoting prostitution and other related charges
A New York man has been arraigned on an indictment following charges stemming from allegations he sex trafficked an 18-year-old girl from another state, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced Friday.
Allen Barrington, 37, is charged with sex trafficking, promoting prostitution and other related charges.
"We allege that this defendant lured a young woman from out of state to come to Brooklyn under false pretenses, then trafficked her in exchange for sex," Gonzalez said. "I am committed to rescuing and protecting our at-risk teens from predators who seek to harm and exploit them."
Barrington was arraigned Friday before the Brooklyn Supreme Court on an indictment in which he is charged with two counts of sex trafficking, one count of attempted sex trafficking, one count of second-degree promoting prostitution, two counts of third- and fourth-degree promoting prostitution, one count of third-degree assault and one count of third-degree attempted assault.
NYC NEUROLOGIST FOUND GUILTY ON 12 COUNTS OF SEXUAL ABUSE
He is held without bail and will return to court on Aug. 16, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported.
Gonzalez said that an investigation found the defendant allegedly responded to an online post from an 18-year-old girl from Ohio on June 3. The man had offered to fund a bus ride to New York, where he said he would help her start nude modeling on video.
Barrington picked her up from a bus stop in Brooklyn on June 5 and brought her to his apartment. At his apartment was another girl the defendant had lured from Illinois to participate in prostitution.
WASHINGTON POLICE OFFICER CHARGED AFTER ATTEMPTING TO MOLEST A CHILD
He had allegedly told the Ohio victim she had to work in prostitution and took her to a track in East New York. But when she refused, he threatened her and said he would harm her grandparents in Ohio.
The defendant not only is alleged to have forced the victim to engage in prostitution between June 5 and June 18, but he also physically abused her and attempted to taser her at one point.
The victim was allegedly forced to work in prostitution on the track in East New York and Barrington would not allow her to stop until she earned a quota he had established.

LONDON (AP) — Izzy Short, 13, struggles to pick her favorite England player as she anticipates the team’s appearance in Sunday’s final of the European soccer championships.
There’s forward Ellen White. Defender Lucy Bronze. Midfielder Georgia Stanway. Captain Leah Williamson. The whole team basically.
“I just look up to them really,’’ the high school player from Manchester said, excitement filling her voice. “They are all very positive … they all, like, appreciated one another and how they are such a good team and all of them just working together really. And they’re just so kind and so good as well.”
The march to Sunday’s final against Germany has energized people throughout England, with the team’s pinpoint passing and flashy goals attracting record crowds, burgeoning TV ratings and adoring coverage. The Lionesses, as the team is known, have been a welcome distraction from the political turmoil and cost-of-living crisis that dominate the headlines.
The final, set to be played before a sellout crowd of more than 87,000 at historic Wembley Stadium, is seen as a watershed moment for women’s sports in England. Although the game, known here as football, is a national passion, female players have often been scoffed at and were once banned from top-level facilities. Now the women’s team has a chance to do something the men haven’t done since 1966: Win a major international tournament.
Hope Powell played 66 times for England and coached the team from 1998 to 2013.
“I think we have to give thanks to the people that worked really hard before us, that went through all of that, being banned, fighting for the right to play,” Powell told the BBC. “I think we have to remember what came before is what got us to the point we are today.”
There were 68,871 people in the stands at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, when England beat Austria 1-0 in its opening game of this year’s European championship. That helped push total tournament attendance so far to 487,683 — more than double the record of 240,055, according to tournament organizer UEFA.
But it’s not just the victories that are attracting fans. It is how the team is winning.
With money from sponsorship deals and a new TV contract supporting full-time professional players, there is more flash and polish than many expected. While they don’t play like the men’s team, that’s not a bad thing.
There are fewer players flopping to the ground to draw fouls, less rolling around on the turf dramatically clutching purportedly injured knees or ankles and little shouting at the referees. Instead there is teamwork, artful passes and stunning goals like Stanway’s 20-meter (22-yard) screamer in the quarterfinal victory over Spain and the backheel from Alessia Russo in England’s 4-0 semifinal win against Sweden.
And here’s the thing: People like it.
Naomi Short, Izzy’s mom and the goalie for Longford Park Ladies Football Club, said fans are being treated to a “totally different vibe’’ at the stadium and on the field — one that’s more welcoming than the lager-fueled tribalism that has put some people off the men’s game.
“It’s not just girls watching it — it’s families, it’s men, women, children. Everybody’s watching it. It’s brought everybody together,’’ said Short, 44. “Whereas, you know, sometimes when you go to a men’s game, there is sometimes (a) slightly different atmosphere.”
There is also less distance between fans and the players, who know they have a responsibility to build a game their mothers and grandmothers were excluded from. The players stay after games and sign autographs. They take selfies. There is time for a chat. They know that little kids look up to them.
Coach Sarina Wiegman has made a point of noting that there’s more at stake than victory alone.
“We want to inspire the nation,’’ Wiegman said after the team’s semifinal victory. “I think that’s what we’re doing and we want to make a difference — and we hope that we will get everyone so enthusiastic and proud of us and that even more girls and boys start playing football.”
The groundswell of support for the team is also being fueled by the country’s dismal record in international competition and hopes that they can bring a European championship home to England, which prides itself as the place where modern football was invented.
England’s last major international championship, men’s or women’s, came at the 1966 World Cup — a lifetime ago for most fans. The men’s team disappointed fans again last year when they lost to Italy in the final of their European championship.
That leaves it to the women to end the drought.
Women’s football has a long and sometimes controversial history in England.
The women’s game flourished during and for a few years after World War I, when teams like Dick, Kerr Ladies Football Club filled the sporting gap created as top men’s players went off to the trenches to fight. Women’s teams, many organized at munitions plants, attracted large crowds and raised money for charity. One match in 1920 attracted 53,000 spectators.
But that popularity triggered a backlash from the men who ran the Football Association, the sport’s governing body in England. In 1921, the FA banned women’s teams from using its facilities, saying “the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged.”
The ban remained in place for the next 50 years.
Women organized their own football association in 1969, and soon after the FA ended its ban on women. The FA took over responsibility for the women’s game in 1993, beginning the slow process of improving funding and facilities.
Things accelerated after the 2012 London Olympics, when authorities began to recognize there was a global audience for the women’s game, said Gail Newsham, author of “In a League of Their Own!’’ that tells the story of Dick, Kerr Ladies.
Last year, the FA signed a three-year deal for broadcast rights to the Women’s Super League, increasing funding and exposure for the game. Sky Sports will broadcast a minimum of 35 games a year on its pay TV channels, and the BBC will carry another 22 on its free-to-view network.
“It’s not that long ago that girls, you know, top players, were paying for their own travel to get to matches and then having to get up to go to work the next day. So all of this is helping,’’ Newsham said of the funding. “You can see the difference now in the professionalism of the girls playing football.”
The excitement about Sunday’s final has triggered a scramble for tickets.
Tickets that originally sold for 15-50 pounds ($18-$61) are now selling for 100-1,000 pounds ($122-$1,216) on resale sites.
The Short family has decided to watch the game at the local pub, making an afternoon of it, like fans around the country.
“I don’t think it will matter if it’s men or women,’’ Naomi Short said. “It’s England now. It’s coming home. You know, I’d like to think that’s what people are getting excited about.” | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/sports/womens-soccer-energizes-england-in-a-league-of-their-own/ | 2022-07-30T05:53:25Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/sports/womens-soccer-energizes-england-in-a-league-of-their-own/ | false |
ELMO, Montana (AP) — A wildfire burning in western Montana spread to 2,000 acres on Friday night, forcing evacuations and road closures.
The fire broke out Friday near the town of Elmo near Flathead Lake, Montana Right Now reported.
CSKT Fire Officer C.T. Camel told the station that three dozen homes near Elmo were being evacuated.
A report from the Montana Department of Transportation said there was zero viability in the area and Highway 28 between Hot Springs and Elmo was closed.
NBC Montana reported the fire was burning in grass but moving fast toward timber. It said air tankers and helicopters were making drops on the fire. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/wildfire-burning-in-western-montana-forces-evacuations/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-07-30T05:57:11Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/wildfire-burning-in-western-montana-forces-evacuations/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | true |
AVILLA — Working from home is becoming the future of work in the United States and with the rising number of remote workers comes the need for them to have a space to do their jobs.
Towns and cities across the country are beginning to open up co-working spaces to allow remote workers and entrepreneurs to be in a quieter environment where they are able to interact with others and have resources like rooms for video conferences available to use.
The idea of building a co-working space and incubator was the conversation at Thursday’s Avilla Redevelopment Commission meeting.
Town Manager Tena Woenker and Noble County Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Gary Gatman spoke to committee members about the idea of purchasing property from local land surveyor Josh Lash and turning his building into an incubator and co-working space.
Lash was in attendance at the meeting where he told members he’s looking to sell his building or demolish it and put up a new structure if it can’t be sold.
Woenker and Gatman said the town should consider purchasing Lash’s building and turn it into a space where remote workers and entrepreneurs can work at and share business ideas.
Lash’s building is very old and in dire need of repair. Woenker said the RDC could purchase the property using tax increment financing (TIF) funds and cover the costs of renovating the building.
“We could turn this place into an incubator for startup businesses and the town can make revenue from it,” she said at the meeting.
She and Gatman mentioned how they are numerous co-working spaces and incubators in Fort Wayne that have been successful and they hope to do the same in Avilla and across Noble County.
She mentioned how she has met a number of people who are remote workers in Avilla, and having a space like this would allow them to have a space to work outside of their homes.
Gatman said they would install Wi-Fi in the space and have Zoom rooms, where people can do video conferences for their jobs.
He hopes to attract new entrepreneurs to the county since they have struggled to get people to start new companies in the region.
The space would be affordable for people. She said leasing a building would typically cost around $5,000 per month to rent while their workspace and incubator would only charge around $500 for the year as the membership fee.
“People would have additional resources available to them like working with the small business development center to get mentorship or speaking with our town attorney about how to start an LLC,” she said.
She added that some of the co-working spaces in Fort Wayne are so popular that they have waiting lists for people to join them.
The town would first try to get someone to either buy the building or get a business to move into it. If that doesn’t happen, they would go forward with its plans to create the workspace.
“Another idea we could do is put the workspace in the upstairs area while having a business downstairs,” she said. “The main focus right now is getting the building stabilized and functional.”
Committee members expressed support for the idea and will be considered in the future. | https://www.kpcnews.com/newssun/article_b82306f0-acec-530f-93ff-65b3797a9523.html | 2022-07-30T05:57:35Z | https://www.kpcnews.com/newssun/article_b82306f0-acec-530f-93ff-65b3797a9523.html | true |

China vows resolute countermeasures if U.S. challenges red line
If the United States challenges China's red line, it will be met with resolute countermeasures, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on Friday.
The U.S. side must bear all consequences arising therefrom, Zhao said at a daily news briefing when answering a query on whether U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's potential visit to Taiwan would ruin the atmosphere for holding more high level dialogues between China and the United States.
Zhao said the two heads of state had a candid communication and exchange on China-U.S. relations and issues of mutual interest during their phone talks on Thursday.
Recently, China has repeatedly stated its grave concern and solemn position of firmly opposing Pelosi's potential visit to Taiwan, he said.

Monkeypox strain in India different from Europe: ICMR-NIV study
A team of Indian scientists have found that the monkeypox virus strain circulating in the country is different from the strain that caused 'superspreader events' in Europe, leading to a global outbreak of the disease.
New Delhi, A team of Indian scientists have found that the monkeypox virus strain circulating in the country is different from the strain that caused 'superspreader events' in Europe, leading to a global outbreak of the disease.
The team from Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Virology (ICMR-NIV), Pune, conducted genetic sequencing of two monkeypox cases from Kerala.
The data showed that the virus strain present in the country is A.2, that was recently imported to India from the Middle East. It was earlier present in Thailand and the US during the 2021 outbreak. However, the strain that caused superspreader events in Europe, was due to B.1.
"The present sustained human-human transmission of the monkeypox virus is believed to have happened via superspreader events in Europe with 16,000+ cases now spread across 70+ countries. This largely is represented as the B.1 lineage of the virus and encompass the predominant lineage for genomes in 2022," Vinod Scaria, scientist at CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB), tweeted.
He noted that A.2 is in contrast to the majority of the genomes across the world which belong to B.1 lineage; and the A.2 cluster, seen in India, is "not suggestive of a superspreader event".
"This would mean" that the cases in the country "are not possibly linked to the European superspreader events", Scaria wrote.
"We might be looking at a distinct cluster of human-human transmission and possibly unrecognised for years. The earliest sample in the cluster from the US is indeed from 2021 suggesting the virus has been in circulation for quite some time, and earlier than the European events," he added.
He suggested increasing genomic surveillance in the country as more cases emerge and possibly sequence every single case.
"Public health measures and communication needs to take these new insights into consideration. Wide testing and awareness could uncover many more cases," Scaria said.
The special CBI court, in an 80-page order rejecting the bail pleas of all five accused in the case earlier this week, said: "The questions involved are with larger ramifications to the welfare of the common public and the credit/reputation of the institution of which the applicant/public servants involved are associated." | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/diagnostics/monkeypox-strain-in-india-different-from-europe-icmr-niv-study/93226736 | 2022-07-30T06:32:27Z | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/diagnostics/monkeypox-strain-in-india-different-from-europe-icmr-niv-study/93226736 | true |
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — A request for more monkeypox vaccines was made on Friday by California Senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein.
The request was sent to Health And Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and it asked for at least 600,000 more doses. The request is being made just after federal officials announced nearly 800,000 doses would be made available for states.
According to the joint statement, California’s positivity rate for monkeypox is the second highest in the country.
“The Senators are urging that California receives a proportionate amount of doses to match the severity of the outbreak in the state,” the statement says.
Padilla and Feinstein cited the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic as a reason for needing the vaccines, saying “limited testing and vaccine availability early in a public health crisis is a recipe for disaster.”
They also cite California as having the first major city, San Francisco, to declare a state of emergency over monkeypox. San Francisco reported its first case of monkeypox on June 3, and as of July 28, there were 281 cases reported.
In Sacramento County, there were 43 cases reported as of Friday. The first case of monkeypox in Sacramento county was reported on May 24, and it was related to someone who returned to the United States from Europe.
For those who want a vaccine, Sacramento County is providing them to people in the county that meet certain criteria: men who have sex with men and/or transgender people who meet one or more of the following circumstances:
- Tested positive for an STI in the past two months
- Had two or more sexual partners in the last three weeks
- Attended or worked at a commercial sex venue in the last three weeks
- Had anonymous sex in the past three weeks
- Engaged in sex work in the past three weeks | https://www.kron4.com/news/senators-padilla-feinstein-request-california-get-more-monkeypox-vaccines/ | 2022-07-30T06:42:24Z | https://www.kron4.com/news/senators-padilla-feinstein-request-california-get-more-monkeypox-vaccines/ | false |
Kakuzi starts avocado exports to China
What you need to know:
- Avocado farmers contracted by Kakuzi earned Sh31.4 million from the agricultural firm in the year ended December.
- In March this year, China allowed Kenya to export fresh avocado, which was a departure from the previous directive in 2019 that required the country to provide only frozen fruit.
Listed agricultural firm Kakuzi will this weekend ship out its first consignment of avocado to China, unlocking export revenue for local growers contracted by the company.
Kakuzi yesterday said it was undertaking field harvests and pre-shipment preparations to the oriental market phytosanitary specifications and will ship out the test run consignment of Hass variety avocado, once the necessary sector approvals are secured from Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Services (Kephis).
Kakuzi has received the green light from China to export the produce.
It is one of the 15 orchards, which has been approved by the Chinese National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO) to export fresh avocados to China.
"The field harvests started this (yesterday) morning, and we hope to prepare the first consignment to be shipped to China this weekend. In this trial phase, we intend to test the entire system capacity and fix any challenges between ourselves, the phytosanitary protocols facility, and KEPHIS ahead of the planned larger shipments before the end of the next quarter," Kakuzi Managing Director, Mr Chris Flowers, said yesterday in a statement.
Farmers' earnings
Avocado farmers contracted by Kakuzi earned Sh31.4 million from the agricultural firm in the year ended December, a 45.6 per cent drop from Sh57.9 million the year before, attributed to lower export quantities and a decline in the price of the fruit in the international markets.
The number of avocado cartons sold fell to 94,064 in the review period from 154,858 a year earlier.
In March this year, China allowed Kenya to export fresh avocado, which was a departure from the previous directive in 2019 that required the country to provide only frozen fruit.
However, the export plan has faced delays over several requirements including applying to Chinese phytosanitary (plant health) laws and regulations, health and safety standards, and being free from any quarantine pests of concern to China.
Kephis early this week confirmed that the NPPO had approved 15 orchards, nine packhouses, and one fumigation facility, including Kakuzi's orchards and packhouses to export fresh avocado to China. | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/kakuzi-starts-avocado-exports-to-china-3896550 | 2022-07-30T06:49:17Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/kakuzi-starts-avocado-exports-to-china-3896550 | false |
Brandon Marshall to perform high-wire act on 'Inside the NFL'
The venerable “Inside the NFL’’ on Showtime has a different look for this season, including a new night (Tuesday), a new host (Greg Gumbel) and new cast members (Boomer Esiason, Ed Reed).
But all of that is trumped by this: Among the new analysts will be Brandon Marshall, who happens also to be an active player as a receiver for the Bears.
The team approved of the plan, which most weeks will require him to fly into and out of New York on a private plane every Tuesday for the taping.
“My first thought was, 'What is Marc Trestman going to think about that?'" Esiason said. “I’m not sure every coach would go for this, but there's a sense in the league, more so than ever, that you can do what you want in your free time.
“It's an interesting perspective having a current player in there, especially when we talk about teams he's going to face. He's going to be really good at it."
Stephen Espinoza, Showtime Sports’ general manager, told the Chicago Tribune, “When I first started talking to him, I suggested some areas that might be off limits. His response was, 'Let's not set any categories of things we can't discuss. That's not what this show is all about.'” | https://www.newsday.com/sports/media/brandon-marshall-to-perform-high-wire-act-on-inside-the-nfl-h71060 | 2022-07-30T06:52:22Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/media/brandon-marshall-to-perform-high-wire-act-on-inside-the-nfl-h71060 | false |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Patrick Wisdom homered again, Marcus Stroman pitched six scoreless innings for his first win in more than two months and the Chicago Cubs beat the struggling San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Friday night.
Wisdom connected for the second consecutive day and also doubled in the ninth as the Cubs scored three times to take a 4-0 lead on the way to their seventh victory in eight games.
Wilmer Flores hit a two-run homer off closer David Robertson in the bottom of the ninth before the right-hander struck out Thairo Estrada to end it.
“Our bullpen’s continued to step up for us in a big way,” Cubs manager David Ross said. “We got them in some jams tonight and they were able to pick us up. I can’t say enough about the pitching.”
San Francisco, which snapped a seven-game skid Thursday night, has dropped eight of nine.
The Cubs struck out 14 times before their offense got going in the ninth with some help from the Giants’ defense.
Nico Hoerner drew a one-out walk from Camilo Doval. After Wisdom doubled, Frank Schwindel reached on an infield single that scored Hoerner. Alfonso Rivas followed with an RBI single.
Christopher Morel then hit a high fly to right that deflected off Mike Yastrzemski’s glove for an error as pinch-runner Nelson Velázquez scored.
Stroman (3-5) got back into the win column despite a sluggish start and repeatedly having to pitch around traffic.
After getting bailed out by his defense in the first inning, Stroman got Tommy La Stella to strike out swinging with runners on the corners in the second. When the Giants put runners at second and third with one out in the fourth, Stroman induced fly balls from Joey Bart and La Stella.
“I’ve just been on a roll,” Stroman said. “Body feels good. Sinker’s doing everything I need it to do, and everything kind of plays off that.”
Stroman allowed eight hits with three strikeouts and one walk.
“It’s consistent strikes, in and out, up and down,” Ross said. “It’s all quadrants all the time. I know he had a lot of traffic early on, they said that in my mid-game interview, and I (said), `But he feels in control.'”
San Francisco threatened two more times but Yastrzemski grounded out with the bases loaded to end the seventh and pinch-hitter Austin Wynns struck out swinging with the potential tying run on second in the eighth.
A day after hitting his 50th career home run, Wisdom added his 19th of the season on a 3-2 sinker from Alex Cobb (3-5) that was chest high. Wisdom paused at the plate to watch the ball, glanced at Cobb momentarily and then rounded the bases.
Cobb had a season-high 11 strikeouts and allowed three hits and one run in six innings.
THE END IS NEAR
With the trade deadline approaching Tuesday, All-Star catcher Willson Contreras is among several Cubs who could be playing elsewhere very soon. Stroman certainly expects his battery-mate to be in a different uniform after the deadline.
“He’s still on our team but it’s almost like you know what’s going to happen,” Stroman said. “His career’s just getting started. He’s going to be a perennial All-Star.”
HAPP’S BIG HITS
A day after ending Alex Wood’s no-hit bid with a leadoff single in the seventh, Happ broke up Cobb’s try with two outs in the fourth. Happ hit a sharp liner that deflected off the glove of third baseman Jason Vosler and rolled away.
Happ also turned in the defensive play of the game when he made a one-hop throw to the plate to easily nail Flores trying to score from second on Yastrzemski’s single. It was Happ’s career-best eighth outfield assist this season.
“That was probably my best throw of the year,” Happ said. “Everything kind of lined up, and being able to make that play for ’Stro right off the bat was great.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: LHP Wade Miley (shoulder strain) threw 36 pitches in a rehab start with High-A South Bend. Miley allowed six hits and four earned runs in 2 1/3 innings.
Giants: All-Star outfielder Joc Pederson was placed on the seven-day injured list with a concussion. Vosler, called up from Triple-A Sacramento, started at third base. … Luis González started in right field after missing Thursday’s game with a sore back.
UP NEXT
Cubs LHP Drew Smyly (3-5, 3.93 ERA) faces San Francisco for the fourth time in his career Saturday afternoon. Smyly is seeking back-to-back wins for the first time since coming off the injured list.
Giants RHP Jakob Junis (4-2, 2.98) has allowed two earned runs or fewer in seven of his eight starts this season.

Turning Point USA Forces 'View' to Issue On-Air Apology After Claiming Student Group Associated with Neo-Nazis
Wow, Turning Point USA just provided a case study in how to respond to a false media story aimed at conservatives.
The conservative group’s efforts resulted in an on-air apology from ABC’s “The View” to the student organization on Wednesday.
On Monday’s program, “The View” co-hosts mocked Turning Point’s annual Student Action Summit, which took place in Tampa, Florida, over the weekend, with speakers that included former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
That in-and-of itself was not the problem, but when co-host Joy Behar associated the summit with neo-Nazi protesters assembled outside it, that was too far.
“Neo-Nazis were out there in the front of the conference with anti-Semitic slurs and, you know, the Nazi swastika and a picture of a so-called Jewish person with exaggerated features, just like Goebbels did during the Third Reich. It’s the same thing, right out of that same playbook,” Behar said, according to Fox News.
Later on in the program, “The View” co-host Sara Haines read an on-air legal disclaimer to inform viewers that Turning Point condemned the neo-Nazis protesters who had “nothing to do” with the summit.
“But you let them in,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg inaccurately retorted. “You let them in and you knew what they were, so you are complicit.”
Then “The View” had to issue another clarification Monday, saying Turning Point did not let them in.
“My point was metaphorical,” Goldberg said.

Behar also asked during Monday’s show, “Where was DeSantis?” The governor had spoken at the summit but not the day the neo-Nazi protesters were there, so Behar had her facts wrong, too.
The clarifications “The View” made Monday did not cut it for Turning Point.
The group’s founder Charlie Kirk tweeted Tuesday, “Talking to lawyers. Many think we have a strong case. You cannot smear minors as Nazis and get away with it. It impacts them for the rest of their life. #SueTheView.”

Recall how false and misleading media reporting regarding Covington High School student Nicholas Sandmann at the Lincoln Memorial in 2019 resulted in CNN and The Washington Post settling multi-million defamation suits with him.
Turning Point’s in-house counsel Veronica Peterson sent a scathing cease and desist letter to ABC executives Tuesday demanding an on-air apology by Wednesday or legal action would follow.
“The View hosts intentionally and falsely associated TPUSA with neo-Nazi protestors outside the event placing TPUSA in denigrating and false light and negatively impacting its public perception. Such action will not be tolerated,” the letter said, according to Fox News.
“Specifically, The View hosts insidiously and cavalierly stated that TPUSA ‘let [neo-Nazis] in’ to its SAS event, metaphorically ‘embrase[d] them’ and that neo-Nazis were ‘in the mix of people.’ The assertion that TPUSA is complicit or affiliated in any way with the neo-Nazi protesters outside the event is outlandish, false, defamatory, and disgraceful,” the letter continued.
“To be abundantly clear, TPUSA aggressively and completely condemns the ideologies of neo-Nazism and has zero connection to the protestors outside the event. Since these individuals were located on public property, TPUSA security attempted to, but was not permitted to remove them,” wrote Peterson.
It’s pretty clear that they weren’t “welcomed”

Peterson then warned ABC how things were likely to go for the network in court, including an order to pay monetary damages and all legal fees accrued during the litigation.
“In cases where the communication is of such a nature that the court can presume as a matter of law that the communication will tend to degrade or disgrace the party defamed, special damages are presumed,” the letter stated.
“Therefore, TPUSA demands that ABC immediately cease and desist from further unlawfully defaming TPUSA, retract the defamatory statements identified above, and issue a public statement apologizing for and correcting the above defamatory and false statements,” wrote Peterson.
The on-air apology came Wednesday.
“On Monday we talked about the fact that there were openly neo-Nazi demonstrators outside the Florida Student Action Summit of the Turning Point USA group,” Haines began.

“We want to make clear that these demonstrators were gathered outside the event and that they were not invited or endorsed by Turning Point USA,” she continued.
“A Turning Point USA spokesman said the qroup, quote ‘100 percent condemns those ideologies’ and said Turning Point USA security tried to remove the demonstrators, but could not because they were on public property,” Haines said, quoting a TPUSA statement.
“Also,” Haines continued, “Turning Point USA wanted to clarify, wanted us to clarify, that this was a Turning Point USA summit and not a Republican Party event.
So, we apologize for anything we said that may have been unclear on these points.”
Turning Point was not entirely satisfied with “The View’s apology, tweeting Wednesday that, “The apology was issued by Sara Haines. Whoopi remained silent and has not retracted her comments that TPUSA ‘metaphorically’ embraced ‘Nazis.'”
Still, the apology did come and it came in rapid fashion. Even if it’s not a completely satisfying win, it was a solid reminder for conservatives around the country that fighting back matters.
And it demonstrated how it can be done.
Turning Point leaders quickly responded to the false reporting about their event, mounted an aggressive online campaign to counter it, and brought in the legal guns to show they meant business.
Congratulations to Charlie Kirk and the Turning Point team for showing the way!
