Pentagon denies D.C. request for National Guard migrant help
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon rejected a request from the District of Columbia seeking National Guard assistance in what the mayor has called a “growing humanitarian crisis” prompted by thousands of migrants being bused to the city from two southern states.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declined to provide Guard personnel and the use of the D.C. Armory to assist with the reception of migrants into the city, according to U.S. defense officials.
One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a decision not yet made public, said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s food and shelter program has provided funding for the problem, and has indicated those funds are sufficient.
Muriel Bowser, the district’s Democratic mayor, formally asked the White House last month for an open-ended deployment of 150 National Guard members per day as well as a “suitable federal location” for a mass housing and processing center, mentioning the D.C. Armory as a logical candidate.
The crisis began in spring when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, both Republicans, announced plans to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., in response to President Joe Biden’s decision to lift a pandemic-era emergency health order that restricted migrant entry numbers.
Since then the city estimates that as many as 200 buses have arrived, delivering more than 4,000 migrants to Union Station, often with no resources and no clue what to do next.
A coalition of local charitable groups has been working to feed and shelter the migrants, aided by a $1 million grant from FEMA. But organizers have been warning that both their resources and personnel were nearing exhaustion.
“This reliance on NGOs is not working and is unsustainable — they are overwhelmed and underfunded,” Bowser said in her letter. She has repeatedly stated that the influx is stressing her government’s ability to care for its own homeless residents and now requires a federal response.
Bowser sharply criticized Abbott and Ducey, accusing them of “cruel political gamesmanship” and saying the pair had “decided to use desperate people to score political points.”
The mayor does not have the authority to personally order a National Guard deployment, an issue that has become emotionally charged in recent years as a symbol of the district’s entrenched status as less than a state.
Her limited authority played a role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump. When it became clear that Capitol Police were overmatched by the crowds, Bowser couldn’t immediately deploy the district guard. Instead, crucial time was lost while the request was considered inside the Pentagon, and protesters rampaged through the building. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-arizona/2022/08/05/pentagon-denies-d-c-request-for-national-guard-migrant-help-2/ | 2022-08-05T17:43:58Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-arizona/2022/08/05/pentagon-denies-d-c-request-for-national-guard-migrant-help-2/ | false |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal Bureau of Prisons is keeping its former director on the payroll as an adviser to his successor, rewarding him with an influential new role after concerns about his leadership — including from staff, inmates, Congress and the Biden administration — hastened his exit from the top job.
Michael Carvajal, who submitted his resignation in January but was not replaced until Tuesday, will stay on through the end of the month as a senior adviser to the new director, Colette Peters, agency spokesperson Kristie Breshears told The Associated Press.
Peters, who was the state prisons chief in Oregon, has pledged to overhaul the federal agency, which was plagued by myriad problems during Carvajal’s two years in charge.
Critics say that retaining Carvajal, even for a few weeks, could slow that progress.
Some people involved in the federal prison system say Carvajal lacks credibility and that the decision to let him stay on sends mixed signals about the direction of the agency at a pivotal time. Staffing shortages have hampered operations at some of the agency’s 122 facilities and there is continued fallout from staff misconduct, including the sexual abuse of inmates at a women’s prison in California.
“That is unbelievable. Why would we keep an individual that has left this agency in ruins, and who refuses to take ownership of failures of his administration, from staffing to COVID?” said Jose Rojas, a leader in the federal correctional officers’ union. “What a sad state of affairs.”
Peters has pledged greater transparency and accountability for the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department’s largest component with a budget of more than $8 billion. At the same time, with Carvajal as a senior adviser, she is being counseled by an official roundly criticized on Capitol Hill for falling short in those regards.
Carvajal submitted his resignation on Jan. 5 amid increasing scrutiny over his leadership in the wake of Associated Press reporting that uncovered widespread problems at the Bureau of Prisons, including rampant staff criminal conduct, dozens of escapes, deaths and staffing woes hampering responses to emergencies.
Carvajal’s departure wasn’t immediate. He and the Justice Department agreed for him to stay on until a successor was in place — a search process that carried on into the summer as the Biden administration struggled to find a candidate qualified and willing to take on the agency’s challenges.
Among the pressure Carvajal faced before resigning: The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., demanded his firing last November after the AP revealed that more than 100 Bureau of Prisons workers have been arrested, convicted or sentenced for crimes since the start of 2019.
Administration officials also had discussions about whether to remove Carvajal in the spring of 2021, after the AP reported that widespread correctional officer vacancies were forcing prisons to expand the use of cooks, teachers, nurses and other workers to guard inmates.
In one of his final acts as director, Carvajal clashed with senators at a hearing last week as he refused to accept responsibility for a culture of corruption and misconduct that has plagued his agency for years.
Carvajal, testifying before the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, insisted he had been shielded from problems by his underlings. But he had been copied on emails, and some of the troubles were detailed in reports generated by the agency’s headquarters.
Carvajal blamed the size and structure of the Bureau of Prisons for his ignorance on issues such as inmate suicides, sexual abuse, and the free flow of drugs, weapons and other contraband.
“This is a very large and complex organization,” Carvajal told the panel, led by Sens. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga. and Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
Peters, sworn in Tuesday by Attorney General Merrick Garland, said she was “humbled, honored and proud to serve” in the position. She also welcomed congressional oversight, adding that she believes in “good government” and transparency.
Peters is only the second director in the agency’s history with no prior experience in the federal prisons system. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco led the search for the new director and had been looking for someone who was focused on reforming an agency that has had cultural issues for decades.
In an interview with the AP last month, Peters stressed the importance of working to “create an environment where people can feel comfortable coming forward and talking about misconduct.”

A police dog is credited with helping find three boys.
“They're trained on human scent,” said Alex Molnar of the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office. “We give them a specific scent article and they're trained to track that specific human scent."
The boys got lost while riding their bikes in the woods outside Philadelphia.
After walking for about a mile, Shiloh the bloodhound picked up their scent.
“Come around the corner, through the creek and there's these three kids standing in the creek like Lord of the Flies, just hanging out,” Molnar said.
The boys’ grandmother said they won’t be allowed to ride their bikes in the woods anymore.
“In the car, I was like, ‘Just so you, know you are confined to the backyard and the house for the rest of the summer,’" Cherese Evans said. | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/police-dog-helps-find-missing-boys | 2022-08-05T17:47:41Z | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/police-dog-helps-find-missing-boys | false |

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — An Orlando man was sentenced on Friday for sexually battering a 13-year-old girl he met online and then brought to a motel in Volusia County.
According to a WESH 2 News report, Tyler Thompson, 24, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for multiple sex charges in the February 2021 incident, to which he previously pled no contest. Thompson, who was 22 at the time, picked up the Oak Hill girl from school and then took her to a motel.
The girl was rescued that night by a Volusia County Sheriff’s Office deputy who went from hotel to hotel in Edgewood searching for her, only knowing Tyler’s first initial and that the fact that he was from Orlando. The deputy, Royce James, told a judge that the case sticks with him a year and a half later and he still finds it difficult to talk about.
“When she saw I was a deputy she came running to me and went into my left arm,” James told WESH. “She was thanking me for finding her, thanking me for saving her and getting her out of that situation. She wouldn’t leave my side the duration of my shift.”
James said that he was reminded of how young and innocent she really was in the hours he spent with her that night.
“I got her a soda. I let her play in my patrol car. She played with the lights,” he told the court through tears.
WESH said the 13-year-old bravely testified at the trial. According to a sheriff’s office incident report, the teenager told Deputy James, “I (do not) know how I did not recognize him as a pedophile. He seemed so nice.”
Thompson will have to register as a sex offender when he gets out of prison. | https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/man-found-in-florida-motel-room-with-13-year-old-girl-sentenced/ | 2022-08-05T17:48:35Z | https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/man-found-in-florida-motel-room-with-13-year-old-girl-sentenced/ | true |
State bank proposal puts tax pay dollars at risk
In recent legislative sessions, a recurring topic has been the establishment of a state-owned bank in New Mexico. Advocates for a state-owned bank have been unrealistic and have overlooked the challenges in establishing such an entity. The most salient point in opposition to would be the significant financial commitment from the state to have the state bank become well-capitalized. As a result, New Mexico taxpayer dollars would be at risk because a state-owned bank would not have deposit insurance such as FDIC insurance. Nor would the state bank be subject to extensive federal and state regulations and examination oversight, which is necessary for protecting depositors and preserving the safety and soundness of a bank. Given these facts, it is particularly important to weigh any potential cost-savings from not paying bank fees against the potential expense of operating a state bank.
Any state-backed institution, even if operated by good-faith actors, is potentially susceptible to political pressure. The danger of a state-owned bank is that it could be influenced to make decisions based on political favors as opposed to sound underwriting practices. The unfortunate reality is that many institutions can stray far from their intended purpose when subjected to the whims of political pressure. While private sector banks have extensive experience taking deposits and making loans, this is not the expertise and function of the state. This could cause risky loans to be made due to a lack of expertise and sophistication, putting taxpayers at risk.
The only state-owned bank in America is in North Dakota, which was established in 1919 in a dramatically different marketplace than what exists today. It’s important to note that The Bank of North Dakota works collaboratively with private-sector banks, while proposals in New Mexico would have the state-owned bank directly competing with private sector banks. Notably, the Bank of North Dakota routes its public lending programs through community banks and cooperates rather than competes with local banks, aiding with capital and liquidity requirements. Even with the collaboration with private banks and its long history, the Bank of North Dakota has faced consistent political pressure, often putting its viability in question. One must realistically believe that if a state-owned bank established in 1919 has faced so many challenges, then a state-owned bank established in the current marketplace would be subject to much greater pressure.
From a financial standpoint, it is worth looking at public bank studies conducted around the country. The city of San Francisco conducted a public banking study that estimated an investment between $184 million and $3.9 billion would be needed to operate a public bank, depending on its goals, and it would take anywhere between 10 and 56 years before it would break even. Proponents of a state-owned bank assert that it will generate profits, but that is very much in question. It’s worth considering if a startup state bank can reach the size and scale to provide all necessary banking services while achieving profitability or would it put taxpayers at additional risk? A state bank could also adversely impact the state’s credit rating, with credit agencies weighing the potential risk of operating a state bank in its decisions.
New Mexico has its fair share of problems, but it’s hugely debatable if a state-owned bank would address any of them. It would most certainly consume public funds that are desperately needed for infrastructure, education, health and safety, and community development. And, ultimately, a state-owned bank would be replicating services that are provided efficiently by tax-paying, private-sector banks in a competitive, highly regulated markets throughout New Mexico. | https://www.currentargus.com/story/opinion/columnists/2022/08/05/state-bank-proposal-puts-tax-pay-dollars-at-risk/65391888007/ | 2022-08-05T17:49:05Z | https://www.currentargus.com/story/opinion/columnists/2022/08/05/state-bank-proposal-puts-tax-pay-dollars-at-risk/65391888007/ | true |
There’s a reason why Meghan Trainor named her new album Takin’ It Back — it’s a promise to fans she’s returned to her roots.
The Grammy winner’s experimented with her music since coming out with her breakthrough debut album, but she tells Billboard it’s time to go back to doo-wop.
“I’m taking it back to my sound that apparently I had,” she revealed. “I started writing and one of my co-writers were like, ‘It’s crazy, these artists are coming in saying I want to do Meghan Trainor sound.’ And I was like, ‘I have a sound?’ I have the doo-wop sound!”
“At the same time, [my song] ‘Title’ blew up on TikTok, which is 7 years old and it’s very doo-woppy. I was like, ‘Wow, universe is talking to me, and I’m listening.'” She said when “Title” blew up, it “felt like my birthday.”
Meghan’s first album, Title, emulated music by the Beach Boys, Dion and other doo-wop greats. For example, Meghan’s hit “Dear Future Husband” sampled Dion’s “Runaround Sue.”
“I’m taking it back to the old school music,” she grinned. The singer said her new album’s title starts with a “T” to honor her last name and her family, as with her other albums: Title, Thank You and Treat Myself.
Meghan added she went into making Taking It Back with a different approach. “Usually, as a songwriter, I go in with melody and this time I went in with a concept,” she explained, noting her recently released single “Bad For Me.”
She said the song was born after “a real tough therapy session.” Meghan added she initially wanted to name the track “Reality,” as it was about hating a toxic family member’s reality that’s “wrong.”
Takin’ It Back arrives October 21.

Question: How can I improve an impacted, shaded area where thorough watering has barely revived the grass?
Answer: Studies show that excess water can be as detrimental as too little water. With compacted soil, water drains slowly resulting in smaller root mass and shallow root growth. Smaller, stressed root systems mean that the grass can't take in the water and nutrients for best growth and appearance ("Soil Compaction," 2009). How does this happen? Reduced pore space between soil particles means that oxygen, water, and nutrients have difficulty moving into soil where turf roots could utilize them. Nor can carbon dioxide escape from the soil. Increased compaction means shallow roots and a thinning turf canopy; the soil can't support a lawn.
A physical process to counter compacting is "aerification" that opens the soil at depths of two to ten inches, with aerifying equipment from rental businesses. Several hollow tubes make 1/2 inch openings into the soil for oxygen, water and nutrients to move easily into the soil. As roots push soil particles around, compaction is relieved (SC, 2009). In the past, it seemed that tillers worked to prep soil but seem to be recommended for once-per-season use. A smaller area? The tines of a garden fork can help some.
What else can help grow healthy grasses in the shade? Not only aerification and proper watering, but proper fertilization and mowing will help keep shaded grass healthy. (See "Soil Compaction" 2009 for how to figure.) Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for turfgrasses to promote color, density, recuperative ability, and plant health; yet, it must be applied at adequate rates. Avoid applying a program recommended for full sunlight to shaded grasses. If done, plants grow taller to outcompete the shade source; rapid vertical growth will result in less energy for root growth. Then, when mowed, those excessive shoots removed will further stress the plant (P#1322).
Once turf is established, cut at higher heights for shaded turf to improve sunlight-capturing ability. Regardless of the species, mowing should follow the one-third rule. Never remove more than a third of the total height at a single mowing (Wells, 2013). When the one-third rule is followed, leaf clippings fall into the canopy and decompose quickly. The converse is true of irregular, improper mowing with excess clippings collecting on the turf canopy to shade turf below and increase disease and insects there.
Consider new turf as an option. Choosing grass involves calculating the amount of sunlight, temperature extremes, maintenance time allotted to the lawn. Warm-season grasses in North Mississippi are native to tropic and subtropic Africa, South America, or Asia. Some warm-season grasses include St. Augustine, centipede grass, zoysia, carpet grass, and bahia that grow actively in spring, summer, and fall but are dormant in winter temperatures.
Yet another answer for shaded areas of a lawn could be a shade garden. To begin, Robert Brzuszek, Assistant Extension Professor, suggests a permeable weed fabric to reduce unwanted vegetation. Then, add at least two inches of pine straw, bark, or wood chips on top of the weed fabric to moderate moisture. To plant, just move mulch and slice fabric in an "x" fashion six inches long. Fold in edges to dig the planting hole. Consider vines that will cover larger areas while clumped plants like liriope or monkey grass can be planted closer together to more quickly cover the zone (Wells, 2013).
A few shade plants bloom continuously through the seasons. Impatiens and begonias provide extended summer color, but require frequent irrigation, competing for moisture from tree roots. Drought tolerant shade annuals, perennials and shrubs are more successful and with lower maintenance. Find plants that exhibit other design elements like texture, form and foliage color for outstanding landscapes. Choose contrasting or complimentary plants for shape, leaf size, and texture. Some to consider are ajuga, variegated hydrangea, or caladiums. For leaf sizes and textures find mahonia, fatshedera, fatsia, oakleaf hydrangea, and dwarf palmetto. Why not transplant ferns growing in the woods nearby? Don't forget groundcovers and perennials for variety and seasonal contrast.
From an MSU list (Brzuszek) these are some favorites: plants--elephant ear, hosta, perennials; groundcovers--mondo grass, ferns (autumn, holly and royal), cardomon, and wild ginger; shrubs--wild mountain hydrangea, red buckeye (maybe from the woods nearby), and camellia.
What might some have learned from observing past turf gardeners? One made a plan for sun-starved turfgrass; one planned for year-long green on a front lawn in the suburbs. We noticed our aunt's St. Augustine grass, the most tolerant of canopy. She diligently monitored her shaded dark-green carpet, streetside. Another uncle broadcast rye seeds for cool-season grass--a temporary winter lawn on South Holmes Street. There, one past January, two bare red dogwoods bordered the greenest lawn on our sepia street.
If you're like past gardening mentors, you can sow rye seed--and mow the greenest winter carpet on a frigid city street. Or, monitor the dense St. Augustine carpet on the small front lawn of a small-town street. Dark-leafed borders of tropical pink camellia no longer bloom there in August shades. But, they can continue to thrive here.

As he no doubt knows, new Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox will arrive this month to face daunting expectations. Mayor Michelle Wu’s selection of a commissioner who once suffered a near-fatal beating at the hands of Boston cops was meant to send a message about her commitment to police reform — and it did.
But Cox and Wu are confronting a culture of police violence and corruption that is so entrenched it may prove once again to be intractable, unless the pair have new tools at their disposal. Massachusetts should change the law so that one useful tool can be put in reformers’ hands: robust pre-employment psychological screenings for police department applicants, which include the use of a polygraph.

Federal law prohibits most private employers from using polygraph screening for job applicants. Massachusetts law goes further, ruling it out for public employees as well. But police officer jobs are different from other roles in the private or public sector, and it is reasonable to apply different standards to recruiting and hiring them. Police officers are given firearms and entrusted with the power to use lethal force at their discretion. Massachusetts should reconsider the prohibition against the polygraph as part of psychological screening, because this restriction does far more to preserve a violent culture within police departments than it does to protect the public or individual job seekers.
I don’t make this suggestion lightly. Polygraphs, or lie detectors, have always been controversial. They should only be evaluated by trained professionals and should be used as part of a suite of tools in the hiring process, not as a standalone. But in my experience as mayor of Ithaca, N.Y., I saw compelling evidence of their usefulness in weeding out individuals whose psychological profiles mean they should never carry a badge and a gun.
Advertisement
Our goal was not to get applicants to confess to crimes. The test is for psychological characteristics with a focus on authoritarian tendencies, because we believe these, even more than other problematic factors such as racism or implicit bias, are both easier to detect and ultimately the most predictive of violent behavior down the road.
Authoritarian individuals are those who feel they must be obeyed. They are bullies who demand subordination from others and display aggressive, impulsive traits. When we administered our combined polygraph and psychological screening, we found a sharp contrast between these unsuitable applicants’ statements in their earlier job interviews and their answers during the final screening process.
We had applicants who told us they wanted to be police officers because an uncle was a cop, or because they wanted to serve the community, who later confessed the real reason was their love of guns. We had applicants who told us during the polygraph that they were bullied as kids, wanted the respect they were denied elsewhere, or needed to teach “those people” who disrespected them a lesson. Frighteningly, the phrase “those people” was one that arose again and again. Sometimes applicants admitted to a history of violence. The results were sobering, to say the least.
Once we added this step to our application process five years ago, it helped us eliminate a full 75 percent of applicants we otherwise would have hired. We were disturbed when we saw many of those applicants hired in other departments. Meanwhile in Ithaca, we reaped the benefits. The metrics are still coming in, but it quickly became evident that the officers whose conduct caused the city to be embroiled in lawsuits were hired before we instituted the new screening.
Advertisement
We also found that instituting the screening as a pre-employment step, rather than post-employment, was not objected to by the police union. There just aren’t many good arguments against a publicly stated goal of preventing bullies and sadists from putting on the uniform. The pre-employment period is a window of opportunity for making a number of changes to recruiting and hiring officers that will significantly reduce the risk of hiring unfit officers, as my colleagues and I outline in a newly released report, “All Safe: Transforming Public Safety.”
We understand the skepticism that what works in a city the size of Ithaca (population 32,000) may not be scalable for the nation’s biggest metropolitan areas. But small cities have often served as laboratories of democracy for reforms that larger cities eventually adopt. I feel confident stating that if Boston has the ability to screen out police recruits with an authoritarian streak, it will greatly reduce police violence, save the city millions of dollars in lawsuits, and increase trust with the public, who will know that officers they encounter have been screened to eliminate those prone to violence. I have seen these effects firsthand.
The reality is that once an unfit person is on the police force, it can be virtually impossible to remove them. No city knows this better than Boston, where former police union president and serial child abuser Patrick Rose was finally sent to prison this year after decades of having his crimes swept under the rug. In June, The Boston Globe reported that the new statewide recertification process for officers — heralded as a sign of reform — had reviewed the records of more than 6,000 people and found fewer than 10 unfit to certify. Critics are justifiably skeptical.

It can be very hard to undo the mistakes of the past. And our tools are neither perfect nor foolproof. But when there is an opportunity to set a new course for the future, we should take it, using and improving on the means currently at our disposal. The old proverb says the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, but the second best time is today. Boston’s police reformers need every tool in the toolbox, and they need them now.

It was the creed by which he lived, and I am proud to say I heard it from his own lips.
“My citizenship,” declared Bill Russell, “was not a gift. It was a birthright.”
By that Bill Russell meant that he did not need nor seek the validity of White America to dine, sleep, work, or vote whenever he chose. He was born an American on Feb. 12, 1934, and that alone should have been sufficient to grant him his rights.
He lived his life in a relentlessly straightforward manner. He basically gave the racism he encountered the back of his hand. “Proud” does not begin to describe the forthright nature by which he lived his life. He was a role model and an inspiration. He was a truly Great American.
Advertisement
Oh, and he could play a little basketball, too.
His résumé is unmatched in North American professional sport. From 1955 through 1969, his teams competed for 16 championships. That includes two NCAAs in 1955 and 1956, the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, and 13 NBA Finals. His teams won 14 of those 16 with him as the focal point, and it very likely would have been 15 (sorry, St. Louis) had he not been injured in 1958.
In addition, his University of San Francisco team had a 55-game winning streak, and in 21 winner-take-all games — which encompasses every NCAA Tournament game, each Olympic medal-round game, and all NBA Game 5 and Game 7 climactic games — his teams were 21-0.
Discussions in which we attempt to compare players of different eras usually end up as irresolvable shouting affairs, and I realize it will be impossible to convince many modern fans that were Bill Russell air-lifted into the 2022-23 NBA, he would flourish.
But something must be said.

Bill Russell was an athlete far ahead of his time. “I could kick the net and jump up and touch the top of the backboard,” he told me in a 1999 session. Notice he said “kick, k-i-c-k” the net, not touch. “I introduced the vertical game to basketball.”
That is the gospel truth. There had been occasional blocked shots prior to Bill Russell, but he and he alone made the blocked shot an art form and formidable weapon. And unlike the thousands of big men who have followed him, he had a very specific purpose with those blocks. So many people knock a shot into the 10th row. The other team regains possession and scores a basket. So what did it prove?
Russell’s goal was to destroy a shot and keep it in play in order to launch a fast break. He had the physical dexterity to do so — the late Tom Heinsohn referred to it as “popping” the ball — and he did it better than anyone in the history of the game. This is irrefutable.
His extraordinary combination of leaping skill and lateral mobility would have made him the ideal pick-and-roll defender in the modern game. Throw in the fact that, at 6-9, he was also the fastest man on his team. It was not unusual for him to start and finish the same fast break.
Both Heinsohn and the great Bob Cousy maintained for more than 60 years that Russell made the greatest defensive play they had ever seen. It was a game-saving block on Jack Coleman of the Hawks in the epic double-overtime 1957 Game 7. Russell started from practically halfway to Worcester in order to catch up with Coleman, a very decent athlete, to block the shot. Heinsohn said it was if a freight train had whizzed by him.
Advertisement
He was the roadblock to a championship for all the great players of his time, the list including Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson, Rick Barry and, well, everybody. They all revered and respected him, and one foe, the erudite Tom Meschery, expressed his feelings in a 1970 poem titled “Eagle With a Beard”:
an eagle with a beard
but if there is
in some strange
corner of the world
and the Hindu
belief is true,
you will return
and beat your wings
violently
over my grave.
Russell’s problems living in the Boston of the day once the game ended have been well-documented. Suffice it to say that Boston was never going to be his favorite place. But do not confuse that with his fidelity to the Celtics as an organization. He loved Red Auerbach and he loved his teammates. He was once introduced by Hannah Storm on NBC as “Hall of Famer Bill Russell” and he corrected her. “No, Hannah,” he said, “make that Boston Celtic Bill Russell.”
As for the NBA, the league should borrow from baseball. No one will ever wear 42 (Jackie Robinson) again. Nor should any professional basketball player ever wear 6.
Boston has been uniquely blessed with an unbroken succession of first-ballot Hall of Famers. It started with Eddie Shore in 1925 and will continue with Patrice Bergeron, whenever he decides to hang ‘em up. Were all those megastars lined up for a parade, the flag bearer would be Bill Russell.

Bill Russell lived to be 88, and 13 of those years were spent enhancing the city of Boston. Here’s the question: Did we deserve him?

West Virginia’s Medicaid program can no longer exclude coverage for “gender-affirming” surgeries, a federal judge ruled this week.
U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers ruled in favor of a lawsuit filed nearly two years ago by LGBT rights organization Lambda Legal on behalf of two transgender men in West Virginia who were denied “gender-affirming” care under the state’s Medicaid program and the state’s employee health plan.
“This case is about discrimination in health care and employment. Plaintiffs bring this suit to challenge discrimination under West Virginia state health insurance plans that deprive transgender people of essential, and sometimes life-saving, health care,” the complaint stated. It claimed that transgender people were discriminated against in several ways.
Defendants violate the law in two ways. First, Defendants discriminate against low-income transgender people who are Medicaid participants. Inflicting grave harm on a particularly vulnerable group of people, Defendants deny low-income transgender Medicaid participants the same health coverage others receive, targeting them for discrimination based on their sex and transgender status. This care is for the treatment of gender dysphoria—the clinically significant distress that can result from the dissonance between an individual’s gender identity and sex assigned at birth—and is also known as gender-confirming care. Defendants categorically deny gender-confirming care to transgender Medicaid participants, even though it is medically necessary and can be life-saving, while routinely providing cisgender participants the same treatments. Second, Defendants discriminate against state employees and their dependents, by denying coverage for gender-confirming care, even though cisgender people receive the same kinds of treatments as a matter of course.
In his 30-page opinion, Chambers said that the exclusion of this type of care in the state’s Medicaid program discriminates against transgender people on the basis of sex.
It is undisputed that the criteria determining whether or not such treatment is covered under the Medicaid Program hinges on a diagnosis – but when treatment is precluded for a diagnosis based on one’s gender identity, such exclusion invidiously discriminates on the basis of sex and transgender status.
Later in the opinion, Chambers, who was nominated by President Bill Clinton, used mastectomies as an example of how excluding “gender-affirming” surgeries for transgender people violates the Medicaid Act.
Plaintiffs assert that Defendants violate the comparability requirement of the Medicaid Act by providing particular services to some Medicaid participants but not others based solely on diagnosis. The Court has found that the surgeries, such as mastectomies, which are covered to treat non-gender dysphoria diagnoses are materially the same as the surgeries provided to treat gender dysphoria. Thus, the difference in treatment clearly violates the comparability requirement which requires that all persons within a specific category be treated equally.
“The exclusion is aimed specifically at a gender change procedure,” the judge added. “The exclusion targets transgender people because they are transgender.”
Townhall reported this week how the Florida Medical Board is considering a proposal from the Department of Health to block physicians from providing “gender-affirming” treatment to children who identify as transgender. This would include puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and sex reassignment surgery. Florida’s Department of Health previously came out against “gender-affirming” care for children, including letting minors “socially” transition.
“Only a minority of children who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria remain gender dysphoric as adults,” the proposal states. “There is a lack of quality evidence and certainly no conclusive research to support the medical transition of children to the opposite gender as a treatment for gender dysphoria.” | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2022/08/05/west-virginia-medicaid-must-cover-transgender-care-federal-judge-rules-n2611340 | 2022-08-05T18:05:33Z | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2022/08/05/west-virginia-medicaid-must-cover-transgender-care-federal-judge-rules-n2611340 | true |
Rebekah Vardy makes thinly-veiled dig at Coleen with joke about chasing off 'pesky pigeons' - after previously saying quarrelling with Rooney was like arguing with bird
Rebekah Vardy made a thinly-veiled dig at Coleen Rooney with a joke about chasing off 'pesky pigeons' on her Instagram Story on Friday.
The wife of footballer Jamie Vardy, 40, quipped that her sleeping dog should be chasing of the pest-like birds - after once saying that quarrelling with Coleen was like 'arguing with a pigeon'.
It comes after WAG Coleen, 36, won their Wagatha Christie libel battle victory last week - leaving Rebekah with a multi-million pound sum to pay her.

Sharing a picture of her dog, Rebekah wrote: 'Thought you were meant to be chasing those pesky pigeons off Ralphy, why are pugs so lazy.'
Rebekah made the remark about pigeons about Coleen after she accused her of leaking stories to the press back in 2019.
She said at the time: 'It would be like arguing with a pigeon. You can tell it that you are right and it is wrong, but it's still going to s*** in your hair.'
The remark resurfaced during their recent bitter High Court trial.
Joke: The wife of footballer Jamie Vardy, 40, quipped that her sleeping dog should be chasing of the pest-like birds - after once saying that quarrelling with Coleen was like 'arguing with a pigeon'
Coleen and Rebekah are set for one last dramatic High Court showdown over who will foot the multi-million-pound bill for their costly 'Wagatha Christie' libel battle.
Sources close to Coleen – who won the case last week – told The Mail on Sunday she will fight to make sure Rebekah pays the full amount, estimated to be up to £3million.
Usually a winning party will still have to pay about 30 per cent of the costs.
But Coleen's team claim the judge's damning judgment that Becky did sell stories about her to The Sun newspaper means it is 'inconceivable' that she won't be made to pay the full amount.
It's all over: It comes after WAG Coleen, 36, won their Wagatha Christie libel battle victory last week - leaving Rebekah with a multi-million pound sum to pay her (pictured together at Euro 2016)
Mrs Justice Steyn ruled on Friday that Becky and her agent Caroline Watt had leaked stories about Coleen, wife of ex-England skipper Wayne.
Rebekah sued her former friend for libel over a now-famous social media post in which Coleen described setting up a 'sting operation' by posting fake stories to selected followers on her private Instagram account to uncover who was leaking stories about her to The Sun.
The 'big reveal' post in October 2019 ended: 'It's… Rebekah Vardy's account.'
After Rebekah brought legal action, Coleen offered her a 'drop hands' offer, which meant they would both walk away, paying their own costs. She also suggested they make a charity donation.
Fair: Sources close to Coleen – who won the case last week – told The Mail on Sunday she will fight to make sure Rebekah pays the full amount, estimated to be up to £3million.
But Rebekah declined, leading to a costly High Court trial. Now, after her victory, Coleen wants her rival to pay up.
A source close to Coleen said: 'Coleen didn't want this to happen. She knew the money would be better spent on so many other things but she won't be letting Rebekah get away with not paying the full costs.
'She tried to settle this early on but Rebekah wouldn't have it. And if you look at the outlining of the judgment, it is inconceivable that a judge wouldn't agree she will pay them in full. Let's not forget, this action was brought by Rebekah and she lost spectacularly.'
During a preliminary hearing in March last year, the costs were estimated at £1.3million.
Now, after the case's two-week High Court hearing, reports have claimed the total could be £3million.
Rebekah's barrister, Hugh Tomlinson QC, reportedly charges £10,000 a day, while his opposite number, David Sherborne, charges about £8,000.
There is speculation that Rebekah and her husband, Leicester City striker Jamie, may have to sell their Portuguese villa to pay the legal bill.

SAINT-PIERRE-LA-GARENNE, France (AP) — French environmentalists were hoping Friday to feed a catch of herring to a worryingly thin Beluga whale that has strayed far from its Arctic habitat into France’s Seine River. They fear that the ethereal white mammal is slowly starving in the waterway that flows through Paris and beyond.
“We are in a race against the clock, clearly,” said Lamya Essemlali, president of marine conservation group Sea Shepherd France. “It is really extremely thin. Its bones are protruding. I don’t know if it’s already too late.”
Conservationists were hoping to spare the whale the fate of another, an Orca, also known as a killer whale, that strayed and then died in the Seine in May.
The Beluga was first seen in the river earlier this week. Drone footage subsequently shot by French fire services showed the whale gently meandering in a stretch of the river’s light green waters between Paris and the Normandy city of Rouen, many dozens of kilometers (miles) inland from the sea.
“It’s quite an impressive animal, which is white (and) which seems calm. It doesn’t seem stressed, surfacing regularly,” fire service officer Patrick Hérot, from Normandy’s Eure region, told French broadcaster TF1.
But Sea Shepherd France said the whale appeared in poor shape when spotted Friday. The group had a boat on the river, along with drones, trying to monitor it — no straightforward task with a mammal that can spend many minutes underwater.
Sea Shepherd France hoped to help the whale keep up its strength by feeding it a catch of herring, Essemlali said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
“We are very worried,” she said. “The urgency is to feed it.”
In ocean waters, Belugas eat an array of fish as well as octopus, squid, crabs, shrimp and other animals. But the fresh water river can’t sustain its dietary needs.
“It can’t feed itself in the Seine,” Essemlali said.
Belugas are comparatively small members of the whale family, growing to about 4 meters (13 feet) in length.
Rather than try to coax the weakened whale back down the river toward the sea, Sea Shepherd France is pushing for it to be captured, so it can then be repatriated by plane to the Arctic waters it likely came from, Essemlali said. She said DNA testing could determine whether it came from waters around Norway, Canada or Russia.
“It’s logistically difficult but is is doable,” she said. “It will be a matter of will.”
“That will only be possible if we can feed it,” she added.
Authorities for the Eure region said the whale was believed to be wandering a 40-kilometer (25-mile) stretch of river between two sets of locks northwest of Paris. They also said the mammal seemed worryingly thin and that it swam away from boats hoping to guide it in the direction of the river’s wide mouth, between the sea ports of Le Havre and Honfleur.
“It is capable of spending long periods submerged and moving over long distances,” Eure authorities said in a statement.
Belugas’ pale skin and bulbous foreheads make them easily recognizable. Known also for their sociability, they habitually live, hunt and migrate together in pods.
Belugas are considered an endangered species and are often found in shallow coastal Artic waters, according to the U.S. government’s National Ocean Service. It said that because Belugas make an array of clicking, whistling, squealing, chirping and moo sounds underwater, they’re also known as the “canaries of the sea.”

▶ Watch Video: Dr. Ashish Jha on what the Biden administration is doing about monkeypox
The U.S. has declared a public health emergency after weeks of pressure to do more to stop the monkeypox outbreak. The U.S. leads the world in infections, and demand for the monkeypox vaccine is overwhelming the supply, with cases roughly doubling by the week in some states.
White House COVID response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha, who is assisting on the monkeypox virus response, told “CBS Mornings” that declaring a public health emergency will help speed up vaccinations, treatment and the acquisition of data to track the outbreak.
“Thankfully, no one has died, so we are still at a point in this outbreak where I do believe that, while it is very serious, it is not something that is reason for widespread alarm,” Dr. Jha said.
U.S. cases have surpassed 7,100, with six states reporting more than 500 confirmed cases.
“The goal of this is still to eliminate this virus — to get it under control and ultimately eliminate it. In terms of vaccines, we have substantially ramped up vaccine acquisition from abroad,” Dr. Jha said. “There’s one small company in Denmark that makes these vaccines. We have gotten more vaccines than the rest of the world combined. And we’re primarily targeting those vaccines to the community where this virus is spreading.”
The vast majority of cases so far have been found among men who have sex with men, but health officials stress anybody can get it. At least five children and a pregnant woman have contracted the virus.
Monkeypox is primarily transmitted through skin-to-skin contact or exposure to contaminated clothing or bedding, but it can also spread through prolonged close exposure to respiratory droplets.
Dr. Jha emphasized that most cases are spread through skin-to-skin contact.
“There is a theoretical risk and then there is the reality,” he said. “Ninety-eight percent of the cases so far have been among gay and bisexual men. It is largely spreading through prolonged skin-to-skin contact.”
While it is rarely fatal, patients say monkeypox is excruciating.
San Francisco was the first major city to declare a public health emergency, and this week, lines formed around the block outside Zuckerberg General Hospital for the vaccine. And in Washington state, some residents are even driving to Canada for shots.
Dr. Jha said those seeking the vaccine should look up their local health department.
“Almost every state has a website on monkeypox, you can go to that, it will tell you where vaccines are available,” he said. | https://www.wsgw.com/monkeypox-very-serious-but-no-reason-for-widespread-alarm-top-doctor-says/ | 2022-08-05T18:07:25Z | https://www.wsgw.com/monkeypox-very-serious-but-no-reason-for-widespread-alarm-top-doctor-says/ | true |

Tech jobs unemployment rate falls to 1.7%; job postings up 49%
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The technology jobs market continued its run of gains, which contributed to the unexpectedly strong #JobsReport for the month, according to analysis by CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology (IT) industry and workforce.
Tech occupations across all industry sectors increased by an estimated 239,000 positions in July, CompTIA's analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reveals.1 The unemployment rate for tech occupations was 1.7% in July.
Tech industry level employment experienced a net gain of 12,700 workers, the 20th consecutive month of employment growth. Tech industry employment has increased by 143,700 jobs this year, an increase of 55% year-over-year.
Employer job postings for technology positions approached 484,000 in July, a slight decrease from the previous month but still at a near record-level.2 Through the first seven months of 2022 US companies listed approximately 3.1 million jobs postings for tech positions, an increase of 49% for the same period last year.
"The tech jobs market has repeatedly outperformed in the face of real and perceived economic weakness," said Tim Herbert, chief research officer at CompTIA. "The data confirms that for every layoff announcement there are other employers stepping in to take advantage of tech talent hiring opportunities."
A closer examination of the tech job posting data from July shows that there are employment opportunities at every experience level, in a variety of occupation categories and in nearly every metro market and state across the country.
About one in five tech job postings were for positions requiring two years or less of experience. About half specified three to five years of experience, while 13% sought candidates with nine or more years of experience.
Software developers and engineers are the most in-demand positions employers are looking to hire – nearly 148,000 job postings last month. There is also a strong job market for IT support specialists, IT project managers, systems engineers and architects and network engineers and architects. Positions in emerging technologies or jobs requiring emerging tech skills accounted for one-third of all postings in July.
The New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco metro markets recorded the largest month-over-month increase in tech jobs postings. But "under the radar" markets also populate this list.
Within the tech sector, three occupation categories recorded job growth in July – other information services, including search engines (+6,800), data processing, hosting and related services (+4,100) and computer and electronic products manufacturing (+3,300). Hiring in the IT services and custom software development category was flat, while telecommunications-related occupations declined (-1,400).

Twitter patches flaw in its software that let a hacker named 'devil' steal phone numbers and email address from 5.4 million accounts that they sold for $30,000 each on the dark web
- A bad actor accessed Twitter through a zero-day vulnerability
- A zero-day vulnerability is a software flaw that is unknown to the parties responsible for the site
- The vulnerability allowed them to scrape information, including phone numbers and emails, and offer 5.4 million accounts for sale on the dark web
Twitter revealed the zero-day vulnerability that allowed a bad actor to compile a list of 5.4 million account profiles in December 2021 is now patched as of Friday.
A zero-day vulnerability is a software flaw that is unknown to the parties responsible for the site and is live an open window for those lurking in the backend of the website.
The vulnerability allowed the hacker known as 'devil' to scrape Twitter and collect phone numbers and emails associated with the millions of accounts that belonged to 'celebrities, companies and random people,' according to a post by the hacker on the dark web that says the collection was due to 'Twitters incompetence.'
The fix comes too late, as the hacker already uploaded the data to the dark web and was selling the accounts for $30,000 each – it is not clear how many have been bought, BleepingComputer reports.

Twitter patched a flaw in its software that let a hacker compile phone numbers and email address associated with 5.4 million accounts
Twitter disclosed in a security advisory Friday: 'In January 2022, we received a report through our bug bounty program of a vulnerability that allowed someone to identify the email or phone number associated with an account or, if they knew a person's email or phone number, they could identify their Twitter account, if one existed.'
'This bug resulted from an update to our code in June 2021. When we learned about this, we immediately investigated and fixed it. At that time, we had no evidence to suggest someone had taken advantage of the vulnerability.'
Twitter told BleepingComputer that it is aware who some of the users are who were impacted by the hack and is sending these individuals notifications to inform them their phone number or email address is now compromised.
However, the social media platform us not clear how many users were victimized.
The fix comes too late, as the hacker already uploaded the data to the dark web and was selling the accounts for $30,000 each – it is not clear how many have been bought
At this time, Twitter tells us that they cannot determine the exact number of people impacted by the breach. No passwords were collected by 'devil,' so accounts will not be stolen.
Twitter urges users to establish the two-factor authentication on their accounts to stop anyone from wrongfully accessing their account.
'We are publishing this update because we aren't able to confirm every account that was potentially impacted, and are particularly mindful of people with pseudonymous accounts who can be targeted by state or other actors,' warned the Twitter advisory.
Graham Ivan Clark was responsible for a global Twitter hack in 2020
This attack, although large, did not make as much noise as the global hack that hijacked accounts belong to high profile people like Bill Gates, Barak Obama and Bill Gates.
The July 15, 2020, breach, the biggest in Twitter history, also took over accounts of celebrities including Elon Musk, Kanye West, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Mike Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, Floyd Mayweather and Kim Kardashian.
Messages were posted from the famous accounts telling followers to send Bitcoin payments to email addresses, swindling more than $180,000 out of unsuspecting victims in the process.
A hacker who identified himself as 'Kirk', believed to be Graham Ivan Clark, claimed to be a Twitter employee and said he could 'reset, swap and control any Twitter account at will' in exchange for cybercurrency payments, according to court papers. Clark, who was sentenced as a youthful offender - he was 17 years old at the time at the time - took a three-year prison plea. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11085381/Twitter-patches-software-flaw-let-hacker-steal-information-5-4-million-accounts.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-05T18:10:52Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11085381/Twitter-patches-software-flaw-let-hacker-steal-information-5-4-million-accounts.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- Jose Gomez III, a man accused of stabbing an Asian American family along with a Sam’s Club employee in March of 2020, was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday after pleading guilty in federal court on three counts of committing a hate crime. Investigators said Gomez attacked the young family- who he had never met, because he believed they were from China and were infecting people with coronavirus.
Gomez reportedly used a knife he found in the store and stabbed a young father after punching him in the face. He then stabbed a then 6-year-old child in the face and then stabbed an employee who was trying to help. He reportedly said he stabbed the employee because he wanted to “kill” the child and felt the employee was interfering. His attack ended when an off-duty Border Patrol agent stepped in and stopped Gomez from doing further harm. While being held down on the ground, Gomez was said to have yelled at the family, “Get out of America!”
With the federal case behind him, Gomez is still facing additional charges filed by the state. Midland District Attorney Laura Nodolf said Gomez was indicted on three counts of Attempted Capital Murder and one count of Aggravated Assault in connection with the Sam’s Club attack. He is also facing two counts of Assault of a Public Servant. Those charges were not dismissed pursuant to his plea in federal court.
Gomez will now be returned to the Midland County Detention Center where he will remain until he heads back to court to face the additional charges. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/texas/sams-club-stabbing-suspect-still-facing-state-charges/ | 2022-08-05T18:11:22Z | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/texas/sams-club-stabbing-suspect-still-facing-state-charges/ | false |
PHILADELPHIA -- NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens is speaking out about an argument with a woman in his Florida neighborhood that he captured on camera.
Owens posted video to his Instagram account on Thursday night of the heated exchange.
In the video, the woman says she told Owens to slow down while driving through the neighborhood. Owens says he was not speeding and he was driving to his mailbox.
Owens kept his camera rolling as their back and forth continued with an officer on scene.
In the video, Owens explained the woman called police and he told her he was going to wait for them to come.
In addition to speeding, Owens, a longtime NFL receiver with the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, was accused by the neighbor of nearly hitting her with his car and harassment.
In the video, the woman can be heard telling the officer, "He ran the stop sign."
"There is no stop sign, what are you talking about?" Owen says.
The woman continues, "I asked him to slow down. He got out of his car and started harassing me. He put his car in park."
Owens responds, "Right, because you're going to yell at me and telling me I almost hit you, and I didn't."
The woman says, "But you didn't have to get out of your f**** car. "
Owens says, "You didn't have to talk me that way."
Then the woman made this statement: "You're a Black man approaching a white woman."
The Hall of Famer nicknamed T.O. spoke exclusively to "Good Morning America" about the incident.
"This could have turned really bad. I don't know where it could have gone had the police come in and they basically took her word for something that she said that I (did) or what have you. We've seen it a number of other times as well," Owens said.
Owens shared his views on the racially charged statement.
"If the roles were reversed, I probably would be in jail or something to that magnitude right now, honestly. And just the statement that she made, obviously, that came out of her mouth, the comments, exactly it was 'a Black man approaching a white woman,' that kind of says what you want to know about the situation," Owens said.
In the video, Owens speaks to his camera and says, "I've seen it. I've seen it. But this is firsthand...I've seen it on TV. I've seen it on video, but I've never been a part of something like this."
Owens is now pushing for the woman to face consequences.
He retweeted a petition calling for her to face jail time for making a false police report.
Owens believes accountability is important here in the wake of other recent high-profile incidents of police being called on Black Americans under dubious pretexts for doing mundane things, like walking, napping, sitting at a Starbucks and even birdwatching.
In that infamous case of the Central Park birdwatcher, the woman was charged for filing a false police report.
Owens says he's grateful for how police handled his situation.
"I just want to commend the Broward police, those policemen that came up, Because this could have gone totally left had they not come in and handled the situation the right way," Owens said.
ABC news reached out to the woman involved for a comment; she did not return their calls. | https://abc11.com/terrell-owens-neighborhood-video-florida-instagram-caught-on-camera/12101425/ | 2022-08-05T18:11:58Z | https://abc11.com/terrell-owens-neighborhood-video-florida-instagram-caught-on-camera/12101425/ | false |
DALLAS (KDAF) — Texas is home to some of the best barbecue in the world and there are plenty of places in North Texas to get your food fix, including Hard Eight Pit BBQ in the Colony.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday Attorney General Merrick Garland and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke announced federal charges against four former and current Louisville Metro Police Department officers related to the death of Breonna Taylor and violations of Kenneth Walker's constitutional rights. The charges include Civil Rights Violations, Unlawful Conspiracies, Unconstitutional Use of Force, and Obstruction Offenses.
The indicted officers are named defendants in a federal lawsuit and a state court lawsuit brought by Kenneth Walker. The federal action seeks damages for the LMPD officers' fabrication of evidence to obtain a warrant to search Ms. Taylor's residence; their execution of the warrant in defiance of the Fourth Amendment "knock and announce" requirement; and their use of overwhelming and excessive force when Mr. Walker, a licensed gun owner, sought to defend himself and Ms. Taylor against what he reasonably thought were threatening intruders. The state court action seeks damages for both the assault and battery inflicted upon Mr. Walker after he witnessed the killing of Ms. Taylor, as well as his subsequent false arrest and malicious prosecution.
Mr. Walker is represented by Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the former Solicitor General of the United States, Ruby Garrett, Dahlia Mignouna, Brendan Gants, Jacob Kreilkamp, and Robyn Bacon of Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP; Professor Cliff Sloan of Georgetown University Law Center; Steven Romines of Romines Weiss and Young; and Frederick Moore, Abby Green, and Phil Grossman of Grossman Green PLLC.
Steve Romines, one of the Kentucky-based attorneys representing Mr. Walker, released the following statement.
"We have said from the beginning that various LMPD officers repeatedly violated their own policies and Kenny Walker's constitutional rights in the investigation, raid, and subsequent false arrest of Kenny in an attempt to cover up their own wrongdoings in the killing of Breonna Taylor. It appears a federal grand jury agreed. We will continue to seek justice in the civil courts and call for changes to policies and procedures that protect all our citizens. No other person should ever live through what Mr. Walker has lived through. We call on LMPD to complete an internal review of the injustices to Mr. Walker and a publication of changes in the way police officers are trained and supervised."

2 girls’ remains given to family decades after Philadelphia’s MOVE bombing
PHILADELPHIA (KYW) - A long-awaited sense of closure took place more than three decades after one of the darkest moments in Philadelphia history.
The remains of two children killed when the city bombed the MOVE communual compound in 1985 have finally been cremated at a cemetery.
It comes after a long and painful saga for the surviving family.
“It’s a tragic moment but also a bittersweet moment,” said Lionell Dotson, who says 37 years after his two sisters were killed in the bombing of MOVE, he has now finally retrieved portions of their remains from the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s office.
“It’s going to be a joyous occasion. I’m a little hysterical right now because it’s all surreal,” he said.
Katricia and Zanetta Dotson were just 12 and 14 years old when they were killed in the bombing of MOVE in 1985.
Dotson was wearing T-shirt that has photos of his two sisters. The shirt also reads: the “City of Philadelphia took them from me.”
“They took my family, and that’s why I got this in remembrance of them,” he said.
Although Philly’s medical examiner’s office was under different leadership at the time of the bombing, the office apologized to Dotson Wednesday.
“She came out on her own accord and said, ‘I’m sorry for your loss,’ and gave me a sincere, heartfelt apology. And I appreciate it and I accept it,” he said.
The apology comes after it was revealed last year the remains of the two girls were being held at the medical examiners office and Penn Museum for years.
A report released in June recommends the medical examiners office should amend the death certificates of all 11 MOVE victims to reflect that their manners of deaths were homicides, not accidents.
The medical examiner’s office said it will make that change
“They finally coming off the shelf. They never should have been stored in a dark, damp shelf in the first place for 37 years. I can finally get to take them away from the city that helped kill them.”
Dotson said he plans to fly back home to North Carolina to give his sisters a proper burial.

At one year old, Isabella Higgins may not be able to read just yet but her dad, Noah, knows she can comprehend the power of words on a page.
“It does create some comprehension as to ‘this is something we do and it’s enjoyable,’” Noah said.
Whether it’s a classic novel, fairy tale, or mystery, reading helps kids learn new words and new ways to express themselves.
“My hope is she’ll be reading on her own and reading more works and digesting more information and having a general curiosity for everything,” Noah said.
Not every child in this country is as fortunate as young Isabella. By some estimates, 25 million children in the U.S. can’t read proficiently.
That is where the “If You Give A Child A Book" campaign is trying to change things. For the last seven years, the effort has been led by the Scripps Howard Foundation, the philanthropic branch of the E.W. Scripps Company.
“One of the greatest predictors of a child’s success is the number of books they have in their home,” said Meredith Delaney, who helps coordinate the project.
Since 2016, the “If You Give a Child a Book" campaign has tried to get as many books as possible into the hands of kids who otherwise can’t afford them.
“Making sure kids have access to books is just so important because books can provide an escape, they can provide an escape from reality,” Delaney added.
Since its inception, the project has helped to distribute 877,000 books to kids in low-income households across the country. To date, 73 Title I schools in 45 cities have received donations. A donation of $5 helps buy one book for a child in need. So far, the campaign has raised $2.4 million.
For principals like Tara Bell, whose school has benefited directly from the donations, the impact has been profound.
“We have kids in our building who may not have any books at home and we’re teaching them reading skills, and if they don’t have books at home, they don’t have a way to practice,” Bell said.
This year, donations to the “If You Give A Child A Book" campaign are going even further. Thanks to a partnership with Kellogg’s, all people have to do is take the receipt from items they already bought at Kroger-based stores and upload the image to the Feeding Reading website. A donation of just one book will become two. | https://www.abc15.com/donate/give-a-book/give-a-child-a-book-campaign-helps-fuel-dreams-plants-seed-for-success | 2022-08-05T18:23:02Z | https://www.abc15.com/donate/give-a-book/give-a-child-a-book-campaign-helps-fuel-dreams-plants-seed-for-success | false |

Study: COVID-19 may be linked to increase in head and neck infections in kids
Published: Aug. 5, 2022 at 1:04 PM CDT|Updated: 28 minutes ago
(CNN) - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention thinks an increase in complicated head and neck infections in children may be linked to COVID-19.
The agency started investigating the matter after a children’s hospital in Michigan saw a 236% increase in cases between 2020 and 2022.
Most of these infections were among children under the age of 12 who recently had COVID-19.
One doctor described the infections as sinus infections or ear infections on steroids.
Symptoms include headache, confusion and irritability.
Extreme cases could lead to brain damage or death.
The infections are relatively rare.

A Henrico County woman was found fatally shot in an SUV early Friday in a Highland Springs neighborhood off North Airport Drive.
The victim was identified as Zhykierra Zhane Guy, 22. Guy lived in the area where she was killed but police did not provide her address.
Henrico police said officers responded about 1:43 a.m. to a reported shooting in the 200 block of Carlstone Court, several blocks south of North Airport Drive. Upon arrival, they observed a female occupant in the passenger seat of a Toyota SUV who had been struck by gunfire.
Officers attempted to provide emergency medical aid until paramedics arrived, but she died at the scene, police said.
The victim's remains were taken to the state Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.
Henrico police spokesman Lt. Matt Pecka said investigators have determined the shots that killed Guy had been fired from outside the vehicle.
Police said they are continuing to investigate and asked for the community's help. They urged anyone with information to call Detective Ensor at (804) 501-5794 or Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000. Information can also be provided at P3Tips.com.

Supply Chain Resiliency
Daniel Swan
Senior Partner
McKinsey & Company
Risks to supply chain have always been an inherent part of the industry and disruptions will continue to happen with more frequency and potentially larger magnitudes; The current supply chain crisis has reduced global GDP by 1 per cent. Global supply chains therefore must be reengineered to afford sustainability and strength – the question is, how? Should railway systems and trucking be more regulated? How can retailers and middlemen who have abused pitfalls to raise prices be held accountable? These are among the questions that need to be addressed to make the supply chain industry more resilient.
Global retailers are already bracing for a busy shipping season and a volatile supply chain ahead of the holidays full of long lines at ports, delayed deliveries, and price increases. The ongoing pandemic has turned what was once a well-tuned machine into a backfiring, glitchy mess that is fueling some of the worst inflation in decades. Unpredictable demand, particularly among the most cash-strapped consumers, is only part of the challenge, however. Companies fearing a repeat of the supply chain delays that burnt them last holiday season, are working to untangle the knots and bring things back under control as we go into the holiday season.

More than 300,000 students in Clark County will now have access to an unlimited Educational Support System featuring personalized virtual tutoring
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Paper™, the leading provider of unlimited, 24/7, and on-demand tutoring and academic support, today announced a districtwide initiative that will provide a virtual Educational Support System to approximately 300,000 students in Nevada's Clark County School District ("CCSD"). CCSD is the fifth-largest school district in the U.S.
The partnership will provide free and equitable access to online educational support – including personalized tutoring, writing assignment review, and college and career support – for all CCSD students regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds. CCSD is funding the Paper partnership using Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds, so the service is free to all K-12 students and families. The new districtwide rollout for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year follows a successful test pilot of Paper at 11 CCSD schools during the previous school year.
"Providing our students with this additional tutoring support is another way to eliminate barriers and help students succeed," said CCSD Superintendent Dr. Jesus F. Jara. "When students are outside the classroom and need additional assistance, they will have access to Paper tutors. This service provides our students with another layer of support to be prepared for their classes and succeed academically."
Paper works with hundreds of school districts nationwide to provide a virtual Educational Support System, including 1:1 tutoring across more than 200 subject areas and review of any writing assignments, plus college and career support. Students can access the platform via any device and receive multilingual tutoring and instruction across subjects in English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin.
Paper's group of highly trained, background-checked tutors helps students achieve success by offering individualized academic support. Founded by mission-driven educators, Paper already supports more than 2.5 million students nationwide.
"We're excited to help CCSD empower its students to succeed academically and take ownership over their futures," said Philip Cutler, Paper co-founder and CEO. "Equitable access to a personalized Educational Support System will create better outcomes for all students and help to close the opportunity and achievement gaps."
On Paper's secure chat-based platform, tutors work individually with students to help them master concepts, improve their writing, and facilitate the completion of their coursework. Paper tutors are available to review college essays, cover letters, and résumés. Teachers and administrators can access the platform to view tutoring session transcripts, insights, and analytics that help power data-driven instruction and decision-making to improve student outcomes.
"This initiative also demonstrates the commitment of CCSD leadership to improve teacher wellness," Cutler continued. "Paper provides teachers with a powerful tool to better help students— without the pressure of being on call 24/7. Instead, teachers can direct students to seek extra help from Paper tutors outside the classroom."
Established in 1956, the Clark County School District (CCSD) is the number one choice for families and students. As the nation's fifth-largest school district, we educate 305,000 students – offering a variety of nationally recognized programs, including Magnet Schools, Career and Technical Academies, and Advanced Placement programs. CCSD educates 64 percent of the students in Nevada and works closely with community partners and business leaders to educate students to compete in a global economy.
Mission-driven educators founded Paper to help every student reach their full potential through an unlimited, on-demand Educational Support System (ESS) that includes 1:1 virtual tutoring, a Writing Review Center, College & Career Support, and Paper Live. Paper's high-qualified educators provide an instructional framework emphasizing inquiry-based learning to empower students to pursue lifelong learning and prepare for college and career success. Paper's multilingual tutors provide support in English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin. Paper's mission is to help close the achievement and opportunity gaps by addressing the inequities facing many students, especially those in lower socioeconomic classes.
As of June 2022, Paper supports approximately 250 unique school districts across 30 U.S. states and Canada through the company's Live Help and Review Center offerings. Paper recently launched its first statewide deals, including a partnership with the Mississippi Department of Education that will support more than 200 additional districts.

Senegal signs peace accord with separatist rebels
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - Senegal's government has signed a peace agreement with separatist rebels from the southern Casamance region that aims to end more than four decades of conflict.
Senegal President Macky Sall announced the agreement, which was signed Thursday in Guinea Bissau between government officials and the Provisional Committee of Political and Combatant Wings of the Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance. It calls for the laying down of arms.
"I remain committed to the consolidation of lasting peace in Casamance," said Sall in his statement, thanking President Umaru Sisoko Embalo for his mediation of the accord.
The agreement aims to end more than 40 years of conflict in the Casamance region, located in the south of Senegal. Hundreds of military and civilian casualties have been recorded in this conflict. In March, the army launched a vast operation against the rebels which led to the destruction of several bases. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11085417/Senegal-signs-peace-accord-separatist-rebels.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-05T18:43:20Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11085417/Senegal-signs-peace-accord-separatist-rebels.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Twenty deaths linked to Covid-19 have been recorded in Northern Ireland in the latest weekly update.
The fatalities, in the week ending July 29, take the total number of coronavirus-linked deaths recorded by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra) to 4,785.
The figure is drawn from different data sources and is always higher than the Department of Health’s total as it provides a broader picture of the impact of Covid-19.
The department’s statistics focus primarily on hospital deaths and include only people who have tested positive for the virus.
Nisra obtains its data from death certificates on which Covid-19 is recorded as a factor by a medical professional, regardless of where the death took place or whether the patient tested positive.
The statistics agency reports its Covid data with a week’s lag.
The Nisra figure includes 3,336 deaths in hospital, 1,000 in care homes and 449 at residential addresses, hospices or other locations.
Covid-19 was also mentioned on the death certificate of 22 of the 351 deaths registered in the week to July 29.
Some of the deaths registered in the week ending July 29 could have taken place earlier as they can take days to register.
Those aged 75 and over accounted for 73.9% of the Covid-related deaths registered between March 19, 2020 and July 29 this year. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3564751/20-covid-19-linked-deaths-recorded-in-latest-weekly-figures/ | 2022-08-05T18:45:26Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3564751/20-covid-19-linked-deaths-recorded-in-latest-weekly-figures/ | false |

Concerns have grown over NHS staffing in England after an analysis of workforce figures found the health service may be becoming over-reliant on recruits from abroad.
Figures from NHS Digital show the share of healthcare staff recruited from overseas almost doubled between 2014 and 2021, according to an analysis by the BBC.
Several organisations responded on Friday with fresh calls for the Government to tackle the NHS staffing crisis.
According to the BBC’s analysis, 34% of doctors joining the health service in 2021 came from overseas – a rise of 18% in 2014.
The broadcaster also found the share of UK doctors joining the health service had fallen from 69% in 2015 to 58% last year while the share of new UK nurses fell from 74% to 61% in the same period.
Meanwhile, the share of doctors recruited from outside the UK and the EU rose from 18% to 34% and the share of nurses rose from 7% to 34%.
Dr Kitty Mohan, chair of the international committee at the British Medical Society, said the analysis showed that the NHS has “grown heavily reliant” on doctors from overseas.
She said: “This was evidenced during the pandemic as international doctors were front and centre of the battle on the NHS frontline – with a disproportionate number sadly losing their lives to the virus.
“The simple fact is that we do not have enough doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff to meet the growing and increasingly complex healthcare needs of our population.”
Dr Mohan also cited a range of reasons why doctors are cutting their hours or planning to leave the NHS, including years of pay erosion, punishing workloads, restrictive immigration rules, and verbal and physical abuse.
“We are calling for the Government and NHS England to publish a long-term workforce strategy as soon as possible,” she said.
“It must be transparent, made publicly available and include details of current workforce numbers and future workforce requirements based on patient need.”
Danny Mortimer, chief executive of NHS Employers, also called for “urgent action” from the Government to tackle “chronic staff shortages in the longer term”.
He said: “International recruits have always been an important component of the NHS workforce. We recognise and highly value the contribution our overseas staff make to our teams and the care we provide to our patients.
“International recruitment should be seen as one part of a multistrand approach to workforce planning and the Government’s Code of Practice for international recruitment helps employers ensure they are adhering to ethical recruitment practices.
“While there is also a focus on growing and retaining the domestic workforce, we can’t escape the fact that there are 105,000 vacancies in the NHS and 165,000 vacancies in social care. We are in need of urgent action and the new prime minister must commit to publishing a fully costed and funded workforce plan to tackle chronic staff shortages in the longer term.
Mr Mortimer added that the Government needs to deliver a “realism reset” on the NHS as “a dose of political honesty and levelling with the public about what the NHS is facing and what it needs from the future prime minister to address it”.
Patricia Marquis, Royal College of Nursing director for England, said the number of unfilled nursing positions in the NHS is “unsustainable”.
“Every vacant role makes safe patient care harder to maintain,” she said.
“We are seeing a sharp increase in people leaving nursing, with 25,000 leaving the UK register in the last year.
“After a decade of real terms pay cuts, a growing over-reliance on international recruitment and limits on education funding, our members are saying enough is enough.”
She added that while internationally recruited nurses are invaluable to the NHS “ministers must do more to boost the domestic recruitment of nursing staff”.
“One of the simplest ways to retain staff is to pay them fairly,” she said.
A Department of Health spokesperson said: “We continue to grow the NHS workforce who deliver the quantity and quality of health care the government has promised. There are over 4,300 more doctors and 10,200 more nurses working in the NHS compared to last year, and we are on track to deliver 50,000 more nurses by 2024
“We’re boosting our homegrown recruitment – including by opening five new medical schools and providing a 25% increase in funding for medical school places over three years to 2020, with the first graduates from this cohort entering foundation training this year.”
“Internationally trained staff have been part of the NHS ever since its inception and they continue to play a vital role in helping us tackle the Covid backlogs. We have recently signed bilateral agreements with countries like India, Philippines, Kenya, Malaysia and Sri Lanka to support the recruitment and training of nurses.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3566257/nhs-staffing-concerns-grow-amid-increase-in-share-of-recruits-from-abroad/ | 2022-08-05T18:47:40Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3566257/nhs-staffing-concerns-grow-amid-increase-in-share-of-recruits-from-abroad/ | false |
/PRNewswire/ -- A hardworking and determined mother of 4 was on the hunt for a school for her youngest daughter, Caroline. It's 2002, and Elizabeth DeLuca has exhausted the Applied Behavior Analysis interventions, therapies, and homeschooling. Though Caroline is bright, loves music, and has a big personality and sense of humor, she is blocked from getting a high-quality education due to her diagnosis of STXBP1. Every program she attempts to join cannot seem to see past her disabilities and complex medical needs. Though many would have given up, Elizabeth looks at her daughter and knows what she must do. The DeLuca family will create a school for students with multiple disabilities, developmental delays, and medical needs. Caroline will inspire a school that sees a child's strengths, not only their challenges, and encourages them to reach for more. The Caroline School at Easter Seals Greater Houston was born.
This extraordinary school has bloomed in the 20 years since its inception. The classes have a low teacher-to-student ratio, weekly therapeutic enrichment, and incorporate the Assistive Technology Lab. Students with various diagnoses and backgrounds have walked and rolled through the halls, gaining skills, independence, and friendship. Each student is a reminder that all children are capable and deserving of high-quality education. The mere existence of this school has brought hope to parents whose children did not fit the mold. The inclusion of all students and dedication to individualized learning is part of the incredible legacy of Caroline DeLuca, who passed in 2016.
In June, The Caroline School families and educators joyfully watched three students donned in cap and gown walk across the graduation stage, a sight some parents once thought impossible. The Caroline School community is equally proud of their former students who have transitioned to mainstream education thanks to the specialized education foundation they received. These major accomplishments speak to the mission of The Caroline School, working with families to create personalized instruction to help students reach their goals.
The Caroline School has open enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year. Parents are invited to tour the school to get to know the dedicated staff; learn about the Assistive Technology Lab, personalized education plans, and weekly therapeutic enrichment; and see the accessible playground and available on-site therapy resources. Learn more at CarolineSchool.org or contact the Community Outreach Associate, Michelle Andrade, at MAndrade@eastersealshouston.org or 832-776-1758.

Max Whitlock believes male participation in gymnastics “has gone through the roof” as a direct result of the achievements of medal winners over the last decade.
The six-time Olympic medallist was joined by England Commonwealth Games champions Courtney Tulloch and Georgia-Mae Fenton on Friday as they surprised a room full of young children at his first club, South Essex Gymnastics, with the National Lottery.
Speaking from the venue, Whitlock said the sport is “thriving” and claimed the rise in male participation is down to major victories from British men’s teams.
“Obviously, there’s still more girls who do (gymnastics) in the grand scheme of things than boys at the moment, but boys’ participation has gone through the roof,” he told the PA news agency.
“I think that’s purely down to results. On the men’s side, we’ve brought back quite a few good results over the last 10 years and I think that’s had a massive impact.
“It is incredible to be part of a sport that is absolutely thriving.”
Whitlock admitted that the sport has changed since he first began competing and said this is mainly down to the success of the 2012 London Olympics.
“I think ever since London 2012 we really wanted to take upon that role of inspiring next generation,” Whitlock said.
“The impact that London 2012 had on the nation and on sport as a whole, especially for gymnastics, was crazy.
“The sport isn’t the same as when I started. It’s just on completely different level now, which is incredible.
“One of my favourite comments I get is when people come and say to me that their son or daughter has joined gymnastics because they saw me and it’s crazy to think that I can have that impact just by doing something that I love.”
Whitlock said another factor in the rise in popularity of the sport, particularly among boys, is the access that young people have to sporting stars through social media.
“Social media has its negatives, of course, but also has huge positives,” Whitlock said.
“Being able see the journey, but actually being able to message people, anyone of any (sporting) level, to be able to send a message and they might get back to you.
“It’s crazy because the impact that can have on young child – to have a few words of encouragement from their idol, it’s unbelievable to have that access.”
Whitlock’s views were echoed by Tulloch, who has won two gold medals during the Commonwealth games in Birmingham.
“With social media, I feel that it’s helped massively,” Tulloch told PA.
“I think before you would just see (gymnasts) on the TV and you’d be like, ‘I’d never be able to do that’ but now you can follow us social media and you can see we’re just normal people.
“We’re just like you, we started just like you, if you are going to get into the sport and and that helps.
“The clips showing our routines on Twitter and the amount of engagement and interaction that gets that will also help with people getting into the sport and raises our profiles, which ultimately helps everyone at the end of the day.”

Education is the 1st step towards tackling social evils: 'Child shouldn't be deprived of edu due to family circumstances'
new delhi: Depriving a child of education due to family circumstances should not be allowed as an educated kid becomes an asset to the nation, the Delhi High Court has observed while holding that no minor should suffer on the education front due to parents being in jail.
The remarks were made by the high court which during the hearing of a bail plea took a suo motu cognisance to facilitate the admission of a minor girl to a school as her parents are in judicial custody for their alleged involvement in the murder of an old woman whose body parts were severed and disposed of
in a drain.
It directed the SHO concerned to get the child admitted to the school adjacent to the senior branch of the school in which her elder sibling is studying and asked the principal to extend full cooperation for the admission.
In my opinion, education is the first step towards tackling social evils, especially poverty, inequality, and discrimination. Every child, irrespective of caste, religion, sex, or economic background has been guaranteed the right to education. An educated individual can make informed decisions, first for themselves, and then be able to contribute constructively towards the progress of the nation and society at large, Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma said.
The high court, in its order, also observed that once it comes to the notice of the court that a child or an individual is deprived of a fundamental right, the courts have to ensure that the fundamental right is enforced and there is no impediment for any individual to enjoy the same.
Right to Education is a fundamental right guaranteed to every citizen under Article 21 A of the Constitution. A child must not suffer the consequences, on account of their parents having been in judicial custody for a crime which is yet to be adjudicated upon by the court. This court is duty bound to enforce fundamental rights of every citizen and in this case the right to education of the child, it said.
The child's mother sought interim bail as she needed to come out of jail to get her eight-year-old daughter admitted to a school here.
The woman, whose interim bail plea was earlier rejected by a trial court, informed the high court that her elder daughter was studying in a municipal school here and her younger daughter be also admitted there in nursery class.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WKBN)- A baseball card of a Pittsburgh Pirates legend was just purchased for millions.
According to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, the 1909-1911 T206 card of Honus Wagner sold for $7.25 million as a part of Goldin Auctions. Ken Goldin, of Goldin Auctions, oversaw the purchase of what is now the most expensive card ever purchased and says there are less than 50 authenticated T-206 Wagner cards.
USA Today reports that the buyer and seller chose to stay anonymous and that the card is considered to be the rarest baseball card in the world.
Goldin Auctions said that the previous record for the T206 of Wagner was $6.6 million and that the card was sold in August 2021.
According to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame, Wagner spent all of his 21 seasons (1897-1917) with the Pirates, his hometown team. The shortstop won the National League batting title eight times and he won a World Series title with Pittsburgh in 1909.
Wagner was one of the first five players elected to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1936.
Collectors also have their eyes on another ultra-rare baseball card that is up for sale until the auction ends Aug. 27 – a mint condition Mickey Mantle card from 1952.
The owner, Anthony Giordano, is described by the Associated Press as a waste management entrepreneur from New Jersey. Giordano paid $50,000 for the card at a New York City card show in 1991.
As for the card itself, the condition is near-perfect and Heritage Auctions, which is handling the bidding, estimates that it could fetch more than $10 million by the end of the auction.
“The quality of the card is the key,” Derek Grady, executive vice president of sports auctions for Heritage Auctions, told the Associated Press. “Four sharp corners, the gloss and the color jumps off the card.” | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/national-news/rarest-baseball-card-in-the-world-sells-for-record-price/ | 2022-08-05T19:06:18Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/national-news/rarest-baseball-card-in-the-world-sells-for-record-price/ | true |
U.S. immigration authorities are planning to issue photo ID cards to immigrants in deportation proceedings in a bid to slash paper use and help people stay up-to-date on required meetings and court hearings, officials said.
The proposal from Immigration and Customs Enforcement is still being developed as a pilot program, and it was not immediately clear how many the agency would issue. The cards would not be an official form of federal identification, and would state they are to be used by the Department of Homeland Security.
The idea is for immigrants to be able to access information about their cases online by using a card rather than paper documents that are cumbersome and can fade over time, officials said. They said ICE officers could also run checks on the cards in the field.
“Moving to a secure card will save the agency millions, free up resources, and ensure information is quickly accessible to DHS officials while reducing the agency’s FOIA backlog,” an ICE spokesperson said in a statement, referring to unfulfilled public requests for agency documents. Homeland Security gets more Freedom of Information Act requests than any other federal agency, according to government data, and many of those involve immigration records.
The proposal has sparked a flurry of questions about what the card might be used for and how secure it would be. Some fear the program could lead to tracking of immigrants awaiting their day in immigration court, while others suggest the cards could advertised by migrant smugglers to try to induce others to make the dangerous trip north.
The Biden administration is seeking $10 million for the so-called ICE Secure Docket Card in a budget proposal for the next fiscal year. It was not immediately clear if the money would cover the pilot or a broader program or when it would begin.
The administration has faced pressure as the number of migrants seeking to enter the country on the southwest border has increased. Border Patrol agents stopped migrants more than 1.1 million times from January to June, up nearly one-third from the same period of an already-high 2021.
Many migrants are turned away under COVID-19-related restrictions. But many are allowed in and either are detained while their cases churn through the immigration courts or are released and required to check in periodically with ICE officers until a judge rules on their cases.
Those most likely to be released in the United States are from countries where expulsion under the public health order is complicated due to costs, logistics or strained diplomatic relations, including Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
At shelters, bus stations and airports along the U.S.-Mexico border, migrants carefully guard their papers in plastic folders. These are often the only documents they have to get past airport checkpoints to their final destinations in the United States. The often dog-eared papers can be critical to getting around.
An immigration case can take years and the system can be confusing, especially for immigrants who know little English and may need to work with an array of government agencies, including ICE and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which issues work permits and green cards. U.S. immigration courts are overseen by the Justice Department.
Gregory Z. Chen, senior director of government relations at the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said migrants have mistakenly gone to ICE offices instead of court for scheduled hearings that they then missed as a result. He said so long as immigrants’ privacy is protected, the card could be helpful.
“If ICE is going to be using this new technology to enable non citizens to check in with ICE, or to report information about their location and address, and then to receive information about their case — where their court hearings might be, what the requirements might be for them to comply with the law — that would be a welcome approach,” Chen said.
It was not clear whether Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration would accept the cards for airport travel or whether private businesses would consider it valid.
The United States doesn’t have a national photo identification card. Residents instead use a range of cards to prove identification, including driver’s licenses, state ID cards and consular ID cards. What constitutes a valid ID is often determined by the entity seeking to verify a person’s identity.
Talia Inlender, deputy director of the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at University of California, Los Angeles’ law school, said she was skeptical that using a card to access electronic documents would simplify the process for immigrants, especially those navigating the system without a lawyer, and questioned whether the card has technology that could be used to increase government surveillance of migrants.
But having an ID could be useful, especially for migrants who need to travel within the U.S., Inlender said.
“Many people are fleeing persecution and torture in their countries. They’re not showing up with government paperwork,” Inlender said. “Having a form of identification to be able to move throughout daily life has the potential to be a helpful thing.”
That has some Republican lawmakers concerned that the cards could induce more migrants to come to the U.S. or seek to access benefits they’re not eligible for. A group of 16 lawmakers sent a letter last week to ICE raising questions about the plan.
“The Administration is now reportedly planning yet another reckless policy that will further exacerbate this ongoing crisis,” the letter said. | https://phl17.com/news/ap-top-headlines/us-to-issue-id-to-migrants-awaiting-deportation-proceedings/ | 2022-08-05T19:09:56Z | https://phl17.com/news/ap-top-headlines/us-to-issue-id-to-migrants-awaiting-deportation-proceedings/ | false |
What’s the best I Dew Care product?
I Dew Care is a Korean skin care brand that offers a fun experience, reflected in the brand’s cute, colorful packaging and product names. Korean beauty’s sway over American skin care can be seen in the beauty routines of celebrities and influencers. If you’re looking for an I Dew Care product that’s easily accessible, the Cake My Day Hydrating Sprinkle Wash-Off Mask is the perfect option.
What to know before you buy an I Dew Care product
Vegan and cruelty-free
I Dew Care — created by the innovative beauty brand MBX (formerly Membox) — is vegan and cruelty-free. This means that its products don’t contain any animal-derived ingredients and that neither the products nor their ingredients are tested on animals. As well as being kinder, vegan products are generally composed of fewer ingredients, which can reduce the chances of skin concerns or irritations and diseases.
Sustainability
I Dew Care products are eco-friendly due to the natural ingredients they use and the lower level of production these need. This is better for the environment as fewer synthetic chemicals and toxins are released into the Earth.
Skin type
According to I Dew Care, its purpose is to help people confidently face every day and take on the world. So it’s unsurprising that its formulas are carefully curated, and are gentle but highly effective on all skin types.
K-beauty
Korean skin care has spread its influence by ensuring that the skin is being treated gently and the products are practical and useful. This makes the skin healthy and gives it a natural glow, ensuring you feel and look your most beautiful.
A lot of K-beauty routines and products have gone viral on the internet for their ability to transform problematic skin into “glass skin.” Glass skin is skin that is so healthy and flawless that it seems poreless, luminous and even translucent in lighter skin tones. Even though K-beauty is gentle and effective, though, you can’t get results overnight. Ultimately, the best path to healthy skin is not just using good products but living a healthy lifestyle, too.
What to look for in a quality I Dew Care product
Playful packaging
With a bright, colorful aesthetic, I Dew Care’s packaging makes experimenting with products fun and cute. Some also come with applicators or other features that make them more accessible. You don’t have to worry about getting your hands into your products and making a mess.
Gentle scents
Most I Dew Care products have sweet, gentle scents that add to their flavor and allure. If you’re sensitive to fragrances or certain plant extracts, you can do a patch test to ensure you are not irritated by any of the ingredients.
Results
According to MBX, skin care should be fun but more importantly, effective and serious. With data and analytics from the MBX community, products are specially made to address specific issues and as such, have a high rate of effectiveness.
How much you can expect to spend on I Dew Care products
Single products cost about $6-$25, while bundles go up to $116.
I Dew Care products FAQ
How do you patch test I Dew Care skin products?
A. Apply a small amount of the product to an area of your body (such as your forearms or neck) and leave it on for as long as you would normally. Clean it afterward and observe any reactions.
Who owns I Dew Care?
A. It is owned by MBX, a company founded by Hyungseok Dino Ha in 2012.
Skin care tips
- Use a refrigerator: In Korean beauty, having a fridge to keep creams and products is common. This helps the items stay fresh for longer periods of time.
- Don’t skimp: Create a longer skin care routine that addresses all your skin concerns.
- Eat right: Make sure you’re eating fresh, healthy foods.
- Exercise your face: Stretch your mouth and massage the entire area.
- Be gentle: Apply your products with movements that don’t aggressively drag your skin.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — The Calgary Flames and recently acquired forward Jonathan Huberdeau have agreed to an $84 million, eight-year contract extension.
The 29-year-old Huberdeau came to Calgary from the Florida Panthers with defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, forward Cole Schwindt and a conditional 2025 first-round pick last month for star forward Matthew Tkachuk.
Calgary announced Huberdeau’s new deal Thursday night.
“I’m thrilled to be part of the Calgary Flames organization long-term,” Huberdeau said in a statement. “I’m excited for this new chapter and I am committed to this team. I’ll give everything I have, on and off the ice and I can’t wait to play in front of the passionate Flames fans.”
Huberdeau finished last season with 30 goals and 85 assists for 115 points. His point total had him tied for second in the NHL, while his 85 assists were a league best.
“We are excited to extend Jonathan long term in Calgary,” Flames general manager Brad Treliving said. “He is an elite player, one of the premier forwards in the league who makes players around him better. We look forward to welcoming Jonathan to our community and his contributions to our team’s success.”
The Saint-Jerome, Quebec, native had spent his entire 10-year career with the Panthers after being drafted third overall in 2011.
He has recorded 198 goals and 415 assists for 613 points over the course of 671 career games.

Pipeline developer pleads no contest in pollution cases
By MICHAEL RUBINKAM
Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The developer of a major pipeline system has pleaded no contest to criminal charges that it systematically polluted waterways and residential water wells across hundreds of miles. Dallas-based Energy Transfer Operating agreed Friday to independent testing of homeowners’ water and promised to remediate contamination. The settlement involves two separate criminal cases brought by the Pennsylvania attorney general. Under a plea deal, the company will pay $10 million to restore watersheds and streams along the Mariner East pipeline network. A judge heard and approved the plea at a hearing in Harrisburg. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/05/pipeline-developer-pleads-no-contest-in-pollution-cases-2/ | 2022-08-05T19:15:14Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/05/pipeline-developer-pleads-no-contest-in-pollution-cases-2/ | true |

SAINT-PIERRE-LA-GARENNE, France (AP) — French environmentalists were hoping Friday to feed a catch of herring to a worryingly thin Beluga whale that has strayed far from its Arctic habitat into France’s Seine River. They fear that the ethereal white mammal is slowly starving in the waterway that flows through Paris and beyond.
“We are in a race against the clock, clearly,” said Lamya Essemlali, president of marine conservation group Sea Shepherd France. “It is really extremely thin. Its bones are protruding. I don’t know if it’s already too late.”
Conservationists were hoping to spare the whale the fate of another, an Orca, also known as a killer whale, that strayed and then died in the Seine in May.
The Beluga was first seen in the river earlier this week. Drone footage subsequently shot by French fire services showed the whale gently meandering in a stretch of the river’s light green waters between Paris and the Normandy city of Rouen, many dozens of kilometers (miles) inland from the sea.
“It’s quite an impressive animal, which is white (and) which seems calm. It doesn’t seem stressed, surfacing regularly,” fire service officer Patrick Hérot, from Normandy’s Eure region, told French broadcaster TF1.
But Sea Shepherd France said the whale appeared in poor shape when spotted Friday. The group had a boat on the river, along with drones, trying to monitor it — no straightforward task with a mammal that can spend many minutes underwater.
Sea Shepherd France hoped to help the whale keep up its strength by feeding it a catch of herring, Essemlali said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
“We are very worried,” she said. “The urgency is to feed it.”
In ocean waters, Belugas eat an array of fish as well as octopus, squid, crabs, shrimp and other animals. But the fresh water river can’t sustain its dietary needs.
“It can’t feed itself in the Seine,” Essemlali said.
Belugas are comparatively small members of the whale family, growing to about 4 meters (13 feet) in length.
Rather than try to coax the weakened whale back down the river toward the sea, Sea Shepherd France is pushing for it to be captured, so it can then be repatriated by plane to the Arctic waters it likely came from, Essemlali said. She said DNA testing could determine whether it came from waters around Norway, Canada or Russia.
“It’s logistically difficult but is is doable,” she said. “It will be a matter of will.”
“That will only be possible if we can feed it,” she added.
Authorities for the Eure region said the whale was believed to be wandering a 40-kilometer (25-mile) stretch of river between two sets of locks northwest of Paris. They also said the mammal seemed worryingly thin and that it swam away from boats hoping to guide it in the direction of the river’s wide mouth, between the sea ports of Le Havre and Honfleur.
“It is capable of spending long periods submerged and moving over long distances,” Eure authorities said in a statement.
Belugas’ pale skin and bulbous foreheads make them easily recognizable. Known also for their sociability, they habitually live, hunt and migrate together in pods.
Belugas are considered an endangered species and are often found in shallow coastal Artic waters, according to the U.S. government’s National Ocean Service.

Democrats are salivating at the prospect that Kansas’s vote on Tuesday in support of abortion rights might give them a way out of an otherwise disastrous midterm cycle. History suggests they should curb their enthusiasm.
Republicans sprang into action almost overnight. Proposals for a tax cut, which had previously languished and was supported only by the then-tiny supply-side economics movement, became party orthodoxy. The party sent leaders such as former California governor Ronald Reagan around the country in “tax squads” to make dramatic tax-cutting a signature issue for the fall midterms. They hoped this would spark a groundswell of public opinion that could help the GOP, which had only 143 seats in the House, make significant gains.
Those hopes were dashed in the midterms later that year. The GOP gained only 15 House seats and remained utterly powerless. It picked up three seats in California, but Democrats continued to dominate the state’s congressional delegation. The same result occurred in the California legislature, where Republican gains were small and Democrats still easily controlled both chambers. Reagan had hoped Prop 13 would ignite a “prairie fire” that would sweep the nation; instead, the blaze was quickly stamped out.
It’s easy to understand why in retrospect. Democrats shifted some ground to defang the threat, passing a capital-gains tax cut that was dead on arrival before Prop 13. Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown had opposed Prop 13, but shifted immediately after its passage to ensure that it was faithfully implemented rather than undermined. Brown trailed his Republican opponent, Attorney General Evelle Younger, by four points when Prop 13 passed. By November, thanks to his switch in position, he was able to crush Younger by nearly 20 points.
Democrats and Republicans can take some lessons from the Prop 13 experience. First, voters do not automatically associate a party with a position on a ballot initiative, even if they have good reason to do so. Many partisans might disagree with their party on one issue but still prefer it overall. Democrats who note that a minimum of 20 percent of Kansas Republican primary voters on Tuesday also supported abortion rights should not assume they will abandon their party in the fall.
Individual positions also matter. Brown didn’t try to fight against the tide of public opinion. Voters forgave his prior opposition when they saw he was willing to back their priorities. Similarly, Republicans who campaign against abortion rights in the first trimester of pregnancy are likely to be viewed differently by swing voters than those who support limits in later stages of pregnancy.
Republicans can also adapt by emulating Brown. His adroit shift gave something to both sides. He resisted liberal efforts to undermine Prop 13 while also steering massive amounts of state revenue to shore up public services. Republicans running for federal office could do something similar by pledging not to support any federal legislation on abortion, saying it is properly a state issue. That would likely sooth the fears of swing voters who support abortion rights and worry about a nationwide ban while letting antiabortion activists win victories in places where they hold the upper hand.
None of this diminishes the significance of the Kansas vote. Polls have long showed that Americans tend to support abortion rights in the early stages of pregnancy and support restrictions or outright bans in later stages. The fact that nearly 60 percent of Kansas voters, and implicitly nearly all non-Republicans, endorsed that view is incredibly important for national politics going forward. The Republican Party’s first president, Abraham Lincoln, said that “public sentiment is everything.” Today’s party would be well-advised to follow his advice and work to mold opinion on abortion rather than stand in opposition to it.
Indeed, Prop. 13 helped set the contours of Reagan’s landslide victory in 1980, in part because Democrats nationally never followed through on their initial accommodations to that sentiment. They were forced to play catch up in the years after Reagan’s 1984 landslide. The challenge for Republicans is to avoid that conundrum.
Kansas’s abortion vote might prove to be as important as Democrats hope and Republicans fear. Nevertheless, how both parties react to the referendum’s results will likely be more important to the midterms than the referendum itself. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/05/kansas-abortion-republicans-midterms/ | 2022-08-05T19:26:08Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/05/kansas-abortion-republicans-midterms/ | false |
After the rollout of the spectacular first images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a fellow journalist emailed me a question: “Does Webb allow us to see the entire universe?”
I did what I always do when astrophysically befuddled: I emailed Garth.
Garth Illingworth is an astronomer at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He played a key role in dreaming up the Webb back in the late 1980s, knows everything there is to know about the telescope, and answers even my dumbest questions promptly and compassionately.
“We can only see the part of the universe that is within the light travel time from us for the age of the universe — so what we can see lies within a huge ball (monstrous ball!), but it is not all of the universe,” Illingworth responded. “The universe may be infinite, but regardless it is bigger than what we can ever see!”
He added a merciful postscript: “Really hard to get one’s head around this, I agree.”
Let’s put aside the brain-boggling size and possible infinitude of the universe for one moment. The successful launch, deployment and early scientific returns from the Webb are a big deal in astronomy. But make no mistake: The universe is not about to reveal all its secrets.
We Earthlings lug around a very long and daunting list of Things We Don’t Know. The new telescope can chip away at them, but most of the unknowns will have to be handled by future scientific instruments. And by future scientists — the ones currently in grade school, peppering parents with basic, and quite excellent, questions, such as:
Is there life beyond Earth?
Are there alien civilizations?
What is the fundamental essence of matter and energy?
What causes gravity?
Why is the universe expanding, and what will be its fate?
And then there’s the ultimate question (might want to loop in some theologians and philosophers): Why is there something rather than nothing?
The Webb telescope, orbiting the sun roughly 1 million miles from Earth and performing beyond expectations, is designed with certain unknowns in mind and isn’t optimized for solving some of the others. The telescope was dreamed up by scientists primarily as a tool for capturing some of the first light of the universe, emitted not very long after the big bang, when ungainly little galaxies were just starting to form and had not yet grown into majestic spirals like Andromeda or our own Milky Way.
Scientists describe those distant objects by their “redshift” — how far their wavelengths of light have been shifted toward the red end of the spectrum by the expansion of space since the big bang. The higher the redshift, the more distant the galaxy in space and time. There have been other infrared telescopes — the Spitzer Space Telescope explored that realm, and even the Hubble sees a little way into the infrared portion of the spectrum — but the Webb has a much bigger mirror. There has never been a telescope that could see in such detail those very early galaxies.
“It is like humanity just got a brand-new pair of eyeglasses for the distant universe,” planetary astronomer Heidi Hammel told me in an email. Like Illingworth, she has a gift for explaining things in ways we ordinary folks can understand. Her email continued: “We are suddenly seeing that those green areas on the tops of trees are actually made of thousands of individual leaves. We suspected it, but we are now seeing it for the first time.”
The universe has an amazing archival feature: light. It travels at a finite speed of about 186,000 miles per second. And it keeps going, and going — capable of crossing the cosmos until it encounters something, like a dust particle or the mirror of a telescope.
Astronomy is a form of cosmic archaeology, because everything we see is a snapshot of some point in the past. A light-year is a measure of distance — about 6 trillion miles. So when we see something that’s four light-years away, we’re seeing the light it emitted four years ago. Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy, is a couple million light-years away. The earliest galaxies emitted their light more than 13 billion years ago.
“The universe, it’s been out there, we just had to build a telescope to go see what was there,” project scientist Jane Rigby memorably declared at a news conference July 12 at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, when the first batch of images were released.
To see that faint infrared light requires a telescope that can operate in ultracold temperatures. That means parking it far from our warmth-radiating Earth. It also means building a big mirror to serve as the light bucket. The engineers came up with a novel and risky design: 18 hexagonal, gold-plated mirrors that can be independently maneuvered and function as a single mirror about 21 feet across.
The mirror was so big the telescope had to be folded at launch in the nose cone of a rocket. While hurtling in space, it had to open up in a series of delicate deployments, like a flower blooming. That included the unfurling of a five-layer, ultrathin sun shield the size of a tennis court.
NASA and its partners — the European and Canadian space agencies — gambled that all this would work perfectly. There was virtually no margin for error. The engineers could command the telescope to shimmy and shake if something got jammed, but that was a crude emergency option. The Webb was on its own out there, too far away to be fixed by astronauts, and with no modular parts that could be swapped out, unlike the instruments on the Hubble.
The scientists were nervous. The engineers were nervous. The NASA bosses were nervous. Count this reporter among the people who thought this telescope had an excellent chance of becoming a $10 billion paperweight.
“It is impossible to convey how hard it really was,” John Mather, a NASA scientist who won a Nobel Prize in physics for his research on the early universe and is senior project scientist for the Webb, told the crowd on July 12.
But it did work, and now the attention pivots from the amazing engineering to the amazing science.
Jane Rigby patiently walked me through what the Webb can and can’t do. One thing I learned: Even a million miles from Earth, with that sun shield providing the equivalent of SPF 1 million, the Webb isn’t in total darkness. The heavens glow in the infrared part of the spectrum because of sunlight bouncing off dust.
“It’s our stupid solar system,” Rigby said. “It’s the zodiacal cloud. It’s the light from our own solar system. We’re stuck in our solar system, and we can’t get out of it.”
The Webb probably won’t be able to see the very first stars, she said, “unless they’re kind enough to blow up for us.” But already, the Webb has detected a galaxy that emitted its light just 300 million years after the big bang — easily a record. The instruments on the telescope can do spectroscopy on that light to see what elements are present.
“How do we make us?” Rigby asks — and then explains what she means by that very simple question. “How do you make oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, iron? How do you make the periodic table? I think that’s going to be really important science that comes out of Webb.”
One of the most exciting tasks of the Webb will be to scrutinize exoplanets — planets that orbit distant stars. One tantalizing target is Trappist-1, a red dwarf star orbited by seven planets, several of which orbit in what is considered the habitable zone where water could be liquid at the surface.
Webb can’t see these planets directly — it gleans information from how they alter the light from the stars they orbit — but should be able to discern if they have atmospheres. Red dwarf stars periodically emit violent bursts of radiation, and astrophysicists want to know if planets around such stars can hang on to their atmospheres amid those stellar storms. Webb should answer that and potentially detect atmospheric water vapor, methane and carbon dioxide. That wouldn’t be proof of life but would refine our understanding of exoplanets. Future telescopes could possibly see not only atmospheres but surfaces, including “ocean glint,” said Knicole Colon, another astrophysicist at NASA Goddard.
Colon told me she is curious about whether the Trappist system has multiple habitable planets or, like our own solar system, just one. And she pointed out a basic truth about new astronomical tools: They always turn up something that wasn’t on the planning document.
“I don’t know that we’ll ever solve the universe, because every time we launch something new, we make new discoveries that are not expected — and then we have to figure those out,” she said.
Here’s a life-beyond-Earth question that scientists might someday be able to answer: Can a planet have just a little bit of life? Can life eke out an existence on superficially barren places like Mars? Or does life, when it gets a foothold, typically run riot, transforming its environment into a biosphere completely smothered in living things?
“There’s an idea that you’re either pervasively inhabited or you’re not. You’re not just a little bit alive if you’re a planet,” Shawn Domagal-Goldman, a NASA Goddard astrobiologist, told me. “But that’s an idea. The whole point of science is that we have to test that hypothesis.”
The fact that there are so many unknowns should not be confused with the silly notion that we don’t know anything at all. Everyone has heard some version of this idea, which is not an intellectual argument so much as a moral one, a kind of chastisement for arrogating to ourselves the belief that we can understand our physical reality.
Hogwash. If you lived a few centuries ago and asked an astronomer how many light-years distant is the Andromeda Galaxy, the answer might be “What’s a light-year?” (and also “What’s a galaxy?”). The power of science is that it tells us what is true — or at least gives us the best, provisional approximation of what is true — rather than what we’d like to believe or what seems apparent at first glance. When Copernicus overthrew the Ptolemaic model of the solar system and displaced us from the center, it was just one step in a long and stunning journey to discover how we fit into the universe.
Science, broadly speaking, has been so successful over the last half-millennium that it has raised the bar for young researchers, particularly in physics. Watching an apple fall from a tree just isn’t going to cut it anymore if you are working on a dissertation. You may need to analyze data from an entirely new tool — like the Webb telescope.
Maybe one reason it is so hard to understand some of the fundamental features of the universe is that it’s outrageous on its face. It is packed with untold trillions of stars and galaxies and planets and moons, as well as complex organisms that ask hard questions about why they exist. That’s a lot of stuff to decode. If the universe were much simpler — just a lot of hydrogen and helium floating around — it wouldn’t be as inscrutable. It would be just a big, boring gasbag. (And it would run for president!)
What will be the Webb’s greatest discovery? Its most significant contribution might simply be its successful deployment as a tool that produces prodigious amounts of science. Maybe someday we’ll figure out gravity, cosmic destiny and life on other worlds, but for now let’s just remember that we’re making progress on the great unknowns.
Technology almost surely cannot solve every one of our global problems; a fancy new telescope isn’t going to feed the hungry, promote justice, end war or suppress the worst effects of climate change. But when something like the Webb comes along — a collaboration of NASA, international space agencies, the private sector, and the collective genius of scientists and engineers across the world — it reminds us that we can still do the hard stuff. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/08/05/webb-telescope-universe-big-bang/ | 2022-08-05T19:26:27Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/08/05/webb-telescope-universe-big-bang/ | false |
Assam: Woman kills husband after he discovers her 'illicit relation', cuts body into pieces
Shockingly, the body was allegedly cut into several pieces, and dumped into the septic tank of the toilet which was recovered nearly three months later.

Guwahati: A woman and her paramour have been arrested in Assam's Nagaon district for allegedly killing her husband after he discovered the illicit relation, officials said.
Shockingly, the body was allegedly cut into several pieces, and dumped into the septic tank of the toilet which was recovered nearly three months later.
The incident happened in the Kuthori area in Kaliabor in Nagaon the district.
Nagaon Superintendent of Police Leena Doley told IANS that the deceased, identified as Umesh Bora, was a carpenter by profession.
He used to stay in Bengaluru and work there. He usually visited his home after a two-three month gap.
Meanwhile, his wife Rita Bora got into a relationship with a man, Mujibur Rahman. Around three months ago, when Umesh returned home from Bengaluru, he found his wife and Mujibur in a compromising position.
According to police, heated words were exchanged between the wife and husband. It was suspected that Rita and her lover Mujibur strangulated Umesh and killed him there.
Following that, they made a plan to shield themselves against arrest. Umesh's body was cut into several pieces and inserted into the septic tank.
Rita then went on to inform others that Umesh was in Bengaluru and has not returned from there.
But, as there was no trace of Bora for several days, the relatives suspected that something wrong might have happened to him. They filed a missing report at a police station.
Things eventually started unfolding after police launched an investigation into the matter. Police had a suspicion and upon searching, they recovered a skeleton from the septic tank of the toilet.
Doley said: "We have arrested Rita Bora and Mujibur Rahman on Thursday and further investigation is underway."

(The Hill) — Republicans are sharpening their knives while the Senate prepares to hunker in for a long weekend as Democrats deploy a special process to pass the party’s sprawling healthcare, tax and climate plan without buy-in from across the aisle.
Republican leaders fumed over the Democratic effort at a press conference on Friday, one day before the Senate is prepared to begin consideration of the plan while taking aim at Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), two key centrist holdouts, for backing the effort.
“So, what will vote-a-rama be like?” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) told reporters on Friday, referring to the voting marathon senators are set to be subjected to in the next few days as part of the process Democrats are using to pass the bill. “It’d be like hell.”
“They deserve this. As much as I admire Joe Manchin and Sinema up for standing up to the radical left at times, they’re empowering legislation that will make the average person’s life more difficult,” Graham said.
The senator, along with Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), also threatened not to vote for a critical funding measure ahead of a September deadline, when government funding is set to lapse, over the effort.
Democrats are using a complicated procedure known as budget reconciliation to try to pass the party’s Inflation Reduction Act, a massive legislative package that would advance key pieces of President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda.
The procedure, which Republicans used to pass former President Donald Trump’s signature tax law in 2017, will allow Democrats to pass a bill in the 50-50 split Senate with a simple majority, bypassing the usual 60-vote threshold.
But to pass the bill using the maneuver, Democrats have to jump through a series of hoops before they bring the bill to the floor for a vote. That includes what’s known as vote-a-rama — an often lengthy and messy voting marathon in which senators can offer a series of amendments for a chance to influence legislation before a final vote on the overall bill.
Republicans have been strategizing in recent days on how to make Democrats feel as much pain as possible during the coming voting session, promising to line up tough votes for the party, which could be used as ammunition for the coming campaign season.
During the recent press conference, Sen. John Barrasso (Wyo.), a member of Republican leadership, said the GOP will be focusing specifically on areas like “energy, inflation, border, and crime.”
Many Republicans have been keeping their cards close to the vest on what amendments they plan to bring up during the voting marathon.
Pressed by The Hill on Thursday about which ones he’ll offer, Sen. John Kennedy (La.) declined to divulge, saying he wants “it to be a surprise.”
“My colleagues will all have plenty of time to read my amendments,” Kennedy said. “But I don’t believe in leading with my chin.”
Republicans have expressed hopes of attaching some of their amendments to the overall bill, despite their overwhelming opposition to the package, in the event it could make the legislation tougher to pass in the House.
Still, there is concern among GOP members around the chances Democrats will introduce what’s known as a wraparound amendment, which could allow for erasure of all amendments adopted during the session.
Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Republican, acknowledged the issue during the press conference on Friday, questioning whether Manchin and Sinema would vote for such an amendment.
“Because they both said that they won’t vote after they felt like, in the American Rescue Plan, they voted for a wraparound amendment, and felt like they were misled by their leadership at the time that they would never vote for one of those again,” Thune said.
The Hill has reached out to the offices of Manchin and Sinema for comment. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/republicans-vow-hell-for-democrats-over-economic-bill/ | 2022-08-05T19:30:59Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/republicans-vow-hell-for-democrats-over-economic-bill/ | false |
President Biden came into office with an ambitious agenda. He wanted an FDR-sized presidency, one that would dramatically bolster America’s social safety net. But with the thinnest possible majority in the Senate, he faced daunting obstacles to enacting his big plans, and that’s putting it mildly. Two senators from his own party — Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona — shot down effort after effort to pass a budget reconciliation package that would have included new taxes on the wealthy, social programs to combat poverty, and crucial tools to address climate change. What would have been the president’s signature legislation was thought to be dead.
But wait. In a huge breakthrough last week, Manchin announced that he had struck a deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on a major new bill that would tackle health care, climate change, and inflation. And after some negotiating, Sinema committed to voting for the bill too, clearing its path in the Senate.

Not only would this be a big win for Biden, but it would also show that this Democratic Congress, even with its internal differences and minuscule majority, can govern effectively. That should give voters a clear choice in the midterms: One party is working to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, while the other party wants to turn back time.
The Democrats are calling this bill the Inflation Reduction Act — a slightly misleading name. Yes its policies would reduce the deficit, lower health care costs, and thereby fight inflation. But the name undersells the bill’s chief component: It would be among the most significant breakthroughs in climate legislation in American history, putting the United States on a path to cut emissions by 40 percent by the end of the decade.
Let’s start with what many Democrats view as the main selling point of this legislation: reducing inflation. There are many things driving inflation, from boosted demand to high energy prices to supply shortages, and this bill will not, on its own, solve all of those woes. It does, however, help.

The bill, for example, would raise more money than it would spend by imposing a minimum corporate tax rate of 15 percent and strengthening the Internal Revenue Service’s enforcement mechanisms so that it can collect already-existing taxes. And while Sinema is unfortunately insisting on taking out a provision that would have closed the carried interest loophole, which currently allows many of the wealthiest Americans — that is, private equity managers — to pay a far lower tax rate on their salaries than almost everyone else, the bill would still raise enough revenue to reduce the deficit. And so if the legislation passes, it would be inherently disinflationary.
It also eases inflationary pressures on Americans by lowering health care costs, which are a big financial burden on many households. That would be done by extending Affordable Care Act subsidies to low- and middle-income households that were set to expire this year, and by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription-drug prices. According to a Congressional Budget Office estimate, that would save Medicare nearly $300 billion over 10 years. These are long overdue policies that will undoubtedly deliver financial relief for hard-pressed families.
Then there are the climate provisions. While they also reduce inflationary pressures by lowering energy costs and pushing Americans away from the volatile prices of fossil fuels in the long term, the bill would be a pathbreaking accomplishment when it comes to addressing climate change. It would put the United States within reach of its carbon emission targets set by the Paris Accords, by building up clean energy technologies and creating incentives for corporations and individuals to transition to more environmentally friendly practices.

One provision would greatly expand tax credits for electric vehicles, including by providing, for the first time, rebates for used cars. That would help lower- and middle-income households buy electric cars, which would eventually reduce not only their carbon footprint but also their monthly expenses on gas. A transition away from gas-powered cars is critical to meeting climate targets, and Congress should make the cost benefits of electric vehicles available to everyone.
With Democrats running out of time before the midterms, when they appear likely to lose their control of Congress, the Inflation Reduction Act might just be the last opportunity to revive key parts of Biden’s domestic agenda. Manchin, no stranger to drama, understood this when he reportedly said that this deal “would be like hitting a homer in the bottom of the ninth.”
But the bill’s passage is not guaranteed. The Senate parliamentarian, for example, could declare that some of its provisions can’t pass through the budget reconciliation process. But whatever happens, Democrats have to stay united. If they want to achieve meaningful progress on climate change, then they have no choice but to pass this legislation. There is no 10th inning in this game.

CDC: Long COVID could lead to other serious health problems in children
(CNN) - A new study finds children battling long COVID have a greater chance of having other serious health issues than those who did not get the virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports it looked at data from nearly 800,000 kids and adolescents diagnosed with COVID and compared them to 2.5 million kids who were not diagnosed with the coronavirus.
According to the study, kids with long COVID had higher rates of developing other health issues such as myocarditis and kidney failure. They were also more likely to develop diabetes.
The CDC said long COVID is when symptoms last four or more weeks after the initial infection, with the study looking at data from the start of March 2020 to the end of January 2022.
The health agency hopes this research helps doctors and caregivers watch for these serious symptoms and conditions among kids who get sick with COVID.
The agency said caregivers should consider this research when it comes to getting their kids vaccinated.

SCHENECTADY – The now-20-year-old man charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a father of five on a city street in the winter of 2019 set him up under a ruse that he wanted to buy some weed, Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney said Friday.
“We do believe that the motive was a robbery where a drug deal had been set up and the individual that has been arrested went to ostensibly to purchase drugs, but in reality, it was just to rob him, and he shot him to death inside his car,” Carney told the Times Union.
He did not know if Roscoe Foster, 38, knew his suspected killer, whose name authorities as of Friday morning had not released. Foster's alleged killer was in his mid-teens at the time and a judge will decide if he is tried as an adult. Police and prosecutors have not released his name and it was unclear if he had an attorney.
The killing vexed authorities for years. Police initially believed an arrest would happen quickly. But the case took years of work.
Amanda Patterson, Foster’s girlfriend and the mother of his young son, previously told the Times Union that Foster was ambushed, robbed and then shot during the sale of a small amount of weed at the intersection of Becker and Linden streets in the city’s Central State Street neighborhood. Foster was killed during the early morning hours of Jan. 25, 2019. Foster was the father of four other children.
On Friday, Carney said his office will ask Schenectady County Family Court Judge Mark Blanchfield, who is presiding over the case, to allow the matter to proceed in criminal court instead of family court.
The defendant is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges of murder, attempted robbery and conspiracy. First-degree murder carries a maximum charge of life without parole.
Carney said the criminal investigation is ongoing but declined to say if more arrests were expected.
Schenectady police said in a news release Thursday that they would not release the defendant’s name because he was either 16 or 17 when the killing occurred.
He is currently being held in a state correctional facility on an unrelated charge, police said.
Police obtained an arrest warrant on Wednesday.
Authorities have said the murder probe was for years stymied because witnesses refused to cooperate with police, leaving police for a time with little more than grainy surveillance footage of some parts of the crime.
Frustrated relatives and friends went so far as to rent a billboard offering a $5,000 reward for any information that led to the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers. It was unclear Friday if anyone stood to reap the reward. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/DA-Roscoe-Foster-lured-to-his-death-in-faux-drug-17354461.php | 2022-08-05T19:43:41Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/DA-Roscoe-Foster-lured-to-his-death-in-faux-drug-17354461.php | false |

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The market welcomed Argentina’s new Economy Minister Sergio Massa on Thursday with what appeared to be a cautiously optimistic attitude amid questions about how he would fulfill a key goal of reducing the fiscal deficit, while leftist groups criticized his initial plans they said would inevitably lead to austerity measures.
In an example of the balancing act that Massa will now have to carry out, his initial words were not well received by leftist political parties and elements of the ruling coalition who are demanding more welfare for the poorest members of society who have been particularly hard-hit by one of the world’s highest inflation rates, currently running at more than 60% annually.
“Massa is a man of the establishment who works for big capital, for the interests that represent the payment of the debt,” Eduardo Belliboni, a leader in the Workers’ Party, told the Associated Press. The new minister “is coming to rescue the government from a political crisis with the same method that led us to this disaster.”
Analysts and opposition leaders also questioned that Massa failed to detail how he would increase Central Bank reserves or what would be his exchange-rate policy, even though he did emphasize a strong devaluation was not a part of his plan.
United for Change, the main opposition force, said that Massa’s announcements were too general and “in no way make up an economic plan and do not constitute a program to stabilize the economy, which is essential and must be immediate.”
The peso strengthened slightly in the financial market, seen as an important metric on confidence considering the government keeps a tight grip on the official exchange rate. The value of the dollar in the black market (known locally as the “blue” dollar) decreased from 297 pesos to 291 pesos.
Argentine government bonds saw early gains in the first few hours of trading after Massa’s swearing-in Wednesday afternoon but these were largely wiped out by the afternoon. Argentine stocks also saw slight gains both locally and in New York on a day in which equities in general saw gains.
In his first news conference as economy minister Wednesday evening, Massa sent several pro-market signals, including a goal of increasing the country’s hard-currency reserves, a decrease in the deficit and a vow to no longer use the Central Bank to finance government operations.
Massa, who resigned as head of Congress’ lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, to take on a strengthened Economy Ministry that includes the previously independent Production and Agriculture ministries, is President Alberto Fernández’s bet to face a growing economic crisis that has also exposed deep divisions within the government’s ruling coalition.
Economic analysts said that Massa, who has close relationship with the country’s business elite and has spent years building contacts in the United States, appears committed to slashing spending and fulfilling the goal of reaching a fiscal deficit of 2.5% of Gross Domestic Product, which was part of the commitment the country made with the International Monetary Fund to restructure some $45 billion in Argentine debt.
Left-leaning members of the governing coalition, including Vice President Cristina Fernández, a former president, have been highly critical of the agreement with the IMF.
“There’s a feeling that the vice president in particular got scared at how much reserves fell in July, how much inflation increased,” Camilo Tiscornia, head of local consultancy C&T Asesores Economicos. “The government is more scared and is willing to take more unpopular measures.”
Tiscornia said that the “most solid” part of Massa’s first announcements included a larger than expected cut in subsidies for public utilities.
Other parts of his initial plan, however, were not precise, particularly those that had to do with decreasing inflation.
“The announcements appear to fall short,” Tiscornia said.
Others agreed a larger scale plan was needed if Massa has any hope of success in his new role.
“To face up to an inflationary process as large as the current one, which threatens to reach 100% annually, requires an integral plan made up by a group of fiscal, monetary, exchange and revenue measures that are coordinated,” said Víctor Beker of the University of Belgrano’s Center for the Study of the New Economy. “That is not appearing for now.” | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/argentina-markets-give-tepid-welcome-to-new-economy-chief/ | 2022-08-05T19:45:25Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/argentina-markets-give-tepid-welcome-to-new-economy-chief/ | true |
McLaren is jumping into the shoe game. The supercar maker has announced that, through a collaboration with APL (Athletic Propulsion Labs), the company is unveiling a new pair of athletic shoes.
Called APL | McLaren HySpeed, the shoes are billed as limited edition and will only be sold through select retailers. (I guess they’re assuming people are going to actually use these things to be active, instead of trying to flip them or put them in a display case on a shelf somewhere.) McLaren explains the fit of the two companies’, to create these shoes: “From APL’s patented Load ‘N Launch® technology designed to instantly increase vertical leap, to McLaren’s hyper luxury Speedtail and emphasis on reducing vehicle weight to maximize efficiency and experience, the desire to push the limits is at the heart of each company.”
Everything about the shoe is inspired by McLaren’s history with performance, like the pattern on the bottom of the shoe is modeled after the tire tread pattern on McLaren’s cars. Even the colors the shoes come in are inspired by the paint you can get on any one of the company’s supercars (of which there are five different colors, if you didn’t know). There’s also the same craftsmanship and attention to detail from the cars... down to the shoes.
APL says that the shoes use world-class materials. And they aren’t lying either. There’s a midsole made out of Future Foam that gets connected to a carbon fiber plate that runs the length of the shoe. On top of that, is another midsole that gets infused with nitrogen, because what else would you expect from something like this? It’s all over-the-top.
And like the cars themselves, these shoes aren’t cheap. While McLaren didn’t give word on how many pairs are going to be made, a single pair will cost you $450. And it’s probably the closest many of us will ever come to owning an actual “McLaren.” | https://jalopnik.com/you-can-buy-two-mclarens-for-450-1849377580 | 2022-08-05T19:47:31Z | https://jalopnik.com/you-can-buy-two-mclarens-for-450-1849377580 | false |
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — The Calgary Flames and recently acquired forward Jonathan Huberdeau have agreed to an $84 million, eight-year contract extension.
The 29-year-old Huberdeau came to Calgary from the Florida Panthers with defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, forward Cole Schwindt and a conditional 2025 first-round pick last month for star forward Matthew Tkachuk.
Calgary announced Huberdeau’s new deal Thursday night.
“I’m thrilled to be part of the Calgary Flames organization long-term,” Huberdeau said in a statement. “I’m excited for this new chapter and I am committed to this team. I’ll give everything I have, on and off the ice and I can’t wait to play in front of the passionate Flames fans.”
Huberdeau finished last season with 30 goals and 85 assists for 115 points. His point total had him tied for second in the NHL, while his 85 assists were a league best.
“We are excited to extend Jonathan long term in Calgary,” Flames general manager Brad Treliving said. “He is an elite player, one of the premier forwards in the league who makes players around him better. We look forward to welcoming Jonathan to our community and his contributions to our team’s success.”
The Saint-Jerome, Quebec, native had spent his entire 10-year career with the Panthers after being drafted third overall in 2011.
He has recorded 198 goals and 415 assists for 613 points over the course of 671 career games.

DETROIT (AP)Miguel Cabrera says he may end his likely Hall of Fame career at the end of this season.
The 39-year-old Detroit Tigers star mused on the subject Thursday amid a slump through the dog days of summer. Cabrera joined the 3,000-hit/500-homer club earlier in the season, and was hitting .308 as recently as July 8.
Plagued by lower-body problems that have been a constant issue in recent seasons, he was hitting .132 with three extra-base hits in his last 20 games entering Thursday’s action.
”You’ve got to understand your body, I understand mine and my place on this team,” he said before the Tigers hosted the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. ”I’ve got to talk to my agent, the GM, I’ve got to talk to everybody to see the plan for next year.
”Right now, we don’t know. We’re focused on today.”
Cabrera is owed $32 million in 2023 in the final season of a $292 million, 10-year contract.
The Tigers came into the season as fringe contenders after a strong finish in 2021, but, after Thursday’s 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay, have staggered to a 42-65 record with the worst offense in baseball.
”I’m going to go out there and do my best every day – that’s the bottom line,” he said. ”But there’s an opportunity for young guys here to get more at-bats and see what we’ve got for next year.”

BONAIRE, Ga. (AP) — Some Georgia homeowners say that an Air Force flyover of a youth baseball tournament physically damaged their homes.
WMAZ-TV reports that an F-15 Eagle from Robins Air Force Base flew over a Little League baseball tournament in Warner Robins on Wednesday.
Alisha Brown, who lives in nearby Bonaire, said the plane made an unusually loud and sharp noise, which her husband described as “like a bomb.”
Brown, who said she's from a military family, said she's hiring an inspector to look for damage to her roof after a vinyl ceiling on her porch bulged. Several other Bonaire homeowners sent pictures showing insulation hanging out of a ceiling's edge, cracks in brick, and fallen exterior vinyl strips.
Robins Air Force Base spokesperson Roland Leach said the flight was conducted at an approved altitude above 1,000 feet (300 meters) and did not break the speed of sound, which would produce a sonic boom. Some residents speculated the noise they heard was a sonic boom.
Other residents also said the flyover seemed louder and lower than usual and shook their home.
Air Force officials said people who believed their homes were damaged could file complaints and that the Air Force would investigate them for possible reimbursement. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Georgia-residents-say-Air-Force-flyover-damaged-17354851.php | 2022-08-05T19:53:55Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Georgia-residents-say-Air-Force-flyover-damaged-17354851.php | true |

What is the best flag football set?
Professional football is America’s favorite televised sport. We love to play football in the yard with family and friends, but few can afford the expensive helmets and padding worn by the pros to protect against injuries.
A safer alternative, flag football has been around since the 1940s and is growing in popularity. It gives adults and children the chance to play football with all its strategy and fun but eliminates the risk of full-contact injuries. Each player wears a belt with a flag attached. When a player has the ball, that flag can be pulled when they are within a defender’s reach. The disconnected flag signifies a tackle, and the ball is placed at that spot. Appealing to all ages, the Trained 10-Man Flag Football Set is the best flag football set.
What to know before you buy a flag football set
Number of players
Flag football sets come with 10, 12 and 20 belts and accompanying flags. Some casual games may be made up of odd numbers on the teams, but organized leagues typically will play 5-on-5, 6-on-6 or 10-on-10, depending on the size of the field. Make sure your set has enough gear for each individual player.
Size of the players
Each flag football game has its own level of intensity. Adult leagues and pickup games can be rugged despite the lack of tackling. Youth leagues and beginning players are more focused on the fundamentals. The wear and tear on your flag football equipment are often decided by the size and intensity of the players. Bigger players should look for more rugged belts and flags that will stand up to greater force.
Types of flags
There are flags that are attached with Velcro or snaps. There also are flags used in Flag-a-Tag games that release a loud popping sound when the flag is pulled off. This sound helps identify when a play is over.
What to look for in a quality flag football set
Material
Most flags are made from nylon which is weather-resistant and durable. Nylon doesn’t last forever, though. Be prepared to replace belts and flags over time with heavy use. Some premium sets have thicker flags made from canvas or heavier material that should last longer.
Field cones
Medium-priced flag football sets come with pylons or field markers that help set the parameters of the field to identify sidelines and end zones. If you are consistently changing where you play, this is a helpful accessory to ensure a field can always be set up quickly.
Travel bag
Travel bags offer an easy way to carry all your gear to the field. It keeps flags and belts from falling out in your car or along the way to the game. You also have room to store rule books, scoreboards and other game-day items.
Satisfaction guarantee
Many flag football sets come with a satisfaction guarantee. If you are missing parts or disappointed with the quality of the belts or flags, you can often get replacement parts within a certain time period. Look at the manufacturer’s information for details.
How much you can expect to spend on a flag football set
Inexpensive sets run between $19-$29. They usually include 10-12 sets of belts and flags made from nylon or other synthetic fabric. Midlevel sets are priced between $30-$49. These can include as many as 20 individual belts and accompanying flags; they often include field markers and a travel bag to carry everything you need. Expensive sets are priced at $50 and over. They feature the most sets of belts and flags and are made with premium materials.
Flag football set FAQ
Is a flag football field smaller than a traditional football field?
A. Yes, the standard flag football field is 30 yards wide and 70 yards long, with 10-yard end zones at each end. Not every field allows this setup. Players must be creative using the field markers to set up the closest version they can as the land allows.
Is there any contact in flag football?
A. The official rules say there is no contact at all in flag football. There is no tackling, blocking, screening or diving. The goal is to eliminate contact and prevent injuries while still enjoying the game. Some leagues and players stretch these rules, but that is based on accepted local play.

According to WNBC, the alleged shooter and the 23-year-old employee got into an altercation stemming from cold french fries.
Police said they arrested a 20-year-old for the shooting. He is charged with attempted murder and criminal possession. Those charges could be upgraded now that the victim is dead.
An 18-year-old was also arrested in the case.

BOZEMAN – A brief cool down started Friday across Montana as a cold front passed through the state and temperatures will remain below normal into Saturday and near normal by Sunday.
Forecast highs Saturday will only reach the 60s and 70s but 80s return Sunday and we will see above normal temperatures beginning Tuesday with some of you reaching mid to upper 90s.
A good fetch of monsoonal moisture will lift into SW Montana Friday night through Saturday night. Forecast models show this to be a little weaker today compared to model runs from Thursday but regardless showers and thunderstorms will impact SW Montana.
Some of you could see more than a tenth of an inch but west of the divide most likely less than a tenth of an inch with possibly above a half an inch around West Yellowstone.
The other concern is lightning and possible new fire starts this weekend and possible hold over lightning ignition fires with the extreme heat returning next week. | https://www.kxlf.com/weather/chilly-saturday-with-extreme-heat-returning-by-tuesday | 2022-08-05T20:05:08Z | https://www.kxlf.com/weather/chilly-saturday-with-extreme-heat-returning-by-tuesday | false |

TOKYO (AP) — China will not be able to isolate Taiwan by preventing U.S. officials from traveling there, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday in Tokyo as she wrapped up an Asia tour highlighted by a visit to Taipei that infuriated Beijing.
Beijing has tried to isolate Taiwan, including by preventing the self-governing island from joining the World Health Organization, Pelosi said.
“They may try to keep Taiwan from visiting or participating in other places, but they will not isolate Taiwan by preventing us to travel there,” she said, defending her trip that has escalated tensions in the region.
Pelosi said her visit to Taiwan was not intended to change the status quo for the island but to maintain peace in the Taiwan Strait, which separates Taiwan and mainland China. She praised Taiwan’s hard-fought democracy and success in technology and business, while criticizing Chinese violations of trade agreements, weapons proliferation and human rights problems, including its treatment of its Muslim Uyghur minority.
“If we do not speak out for human rights in China because of commercial interests, we lose all moral authority to speak out about human rights any place in the world,” Pelosi said in a news conference. “China has some contradictions — some progress in terms of lifting people up, some horrible things happening in terms of the Uyghurs. In fact, it’s been labeled a genocide.”
Pelosi said “the two big countries” — the United States and China — must communicate in areas such as climate and other global issues. “It isn’t about our visit determining what the U.S.-China relationship is. It’s a much bigger and longer-term challenge and once again, we have to recognize that we have to work together on certain areas.”
China announced Friday that it is canceling or suspending dialogue with the United States on a range of issues from climate change to military relations and anti-drug efforts in retaliation for Pelosi’s visit. It also announced unspecified sanctions on Pelosi and her family. Such sanctions are generally mostly symbolic in nature.
China, which claims Taiwan and has threatened to annex it by force if necessary, called Pelosi’s visit a provocation and on Thursday began military drills, including missile strike training, in six zones surrounding Taiwan, in what could be its biggest since the mid-1990s.
Pelosi, the first House speaker to visit Taiwan in 25 years, said China launched the “strikes probably using our visit as an excuse.”
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said China’s military exercises represent a “grave problem” that threatens regional peace and security after five missiles launched as part of the drills landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone near a remote southwestern island.
Kishida, speaking after a breakfast meeting with Pelosi and her congressional delegation, said the missile launches need to be “stopped immediately.”
Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said he believes China intentionally fired the five missiles into the Japanese-claimed zone, which China refuses to recognize. The ministry said it believes four other missiles fired from China’s southeastern coast of Fujian flew over Taiwan.
Tetsuo Kotani, a Meikai University professor and senior fellow at the Japan Institute of International Affairs, tweeted that the trip gave China an excuse to ignore the mid-line in the Taiwan Strait that for decades has been an unofficial buffer zone, and the Japanese exclusive economic zone, and could add risks to U.S. warships and others passing through the strait.
Japan has in recent years bolstered its defense capability and troop presence in southwestern Japan and remote islands, including Okinawa, which is about 700 kilometers (420 miles) northeast of Taiwan. Many residents say they worry their island will be quickly embroiled in any Taiwan conflict. Okinawa is home to the majority of about 50,000 American troops based in Japan under a bilateral security pact.
Pelosi and five other members of Congress arrived in Tokyo late Thursday after visiting Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea.
In their breakfast meeting, Kishida said Pelosi and her delegation discussed shared security concerns over China, North Korea and Russia and pledged to work toward peace and stability in Taiwan. Pelosi also held talks with her Japanese counterpart, lower house Speaker Hiroyuki Hosoda, after observing a plenary session at which they were welcomed by a standing ovation.
Japan and its key ally, the U.S., have been pushing for new security and economic frameworks with other democracies in the Indo-Pacific region and Europe as a counter to China’s growing influence amid rising tensions between Beijing and Taipei.
Days before Pelosi’s Taiwan visit, a group of senior Japanese lawmakers, including former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba, visited the island and discussed regional security with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. Ishiba said Japan, while working with the United States to prevent conflict in the Indo-Pacific, wants a defense agreement with Taiwan.
The Chinese military exercises launched Thursday involve its navy, air force and other departments and are to last until Sunday. They include missile strikes on targets in the seas north and south of the island in an echo of the last major Chinese military drills in 1995 and 1996 aimed at intimidating Taiwan’s leaders and voters.
Taiwan has put its military on alert and staged civil defense drills, while the U.S. has numerous naval assets in the area.
China also flew warplanes toward Taiwan and blocked imports of its citrus and fish.
China sees the island as a breakaway province and considers visits to Taiwan by foreign officials as recognizing its sovereignty.
The Biden administration and Pelosi have said the United States remains committed to a “one China” policy, which recognizes Beijing as the government of China but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei. The administration discouraged but did not prevent Pelosi from visiting.
Pelosi has been a long-time advocate of human rights in China. She, along with other lawmakers, visited Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1991 to support democracy two years after a bloody military crackdown on protesters at the square.
As leader of the House of Representatives, Pelosi’s trip has heightened U.S.-China tensions more than visits by other members of Congress. The last House speaker to visit Taiwan was Newt Gingrich in 1997.
China and Taiwan, which split in 1949 after a civil war, have no official relations but multibillion-dollar business ties.

Pentagon denies DC request for National Guard migrant help
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon rejected a request from the District of Columbia seeking National Guard assistance in what the mayor has called a “growing humanitarian crisis” prompted by thousands of migrants being bused to the city from two southern states.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declined to provide Guard personnel and the use of the D.C. Armory to assist with the reception of migrants into the city, according to U.S. defense officials. Mayor Muriel Bowser said Friday that the district may send an amended, “more specific” request, adding that she believes this is the first time a D.C. request for National Guard has been denied.
One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a decision not yet made public, said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s food and shelter program has provided funding for the problem, and has indicated those funds are sufficient at this point.
Bowser, the district’s Democratic mayor, formally asked the White House last month for an open-ended deployment of 150 National Guard members per day as well as a “suitable federal location” for a mass housing and processing center, mentioning the D.C. Armory as a logical candidate.
During the spring, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, both Republicans, announced plans to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., in response to President Joe Biden’s decision to lift a pandemic-era emergency health order that restricted migrant entry numbers by denying them a chance to seek asylum. The rule remains in effect under court order.
On Friday, Abbott said the first group of migrants from his state had now been bused to New York as well.
As of mid-July, about 5,200 migrants had been bused from Texas to D.C. since April. As of Aug. 3, more than 1,300 had been sent from Arizona since May. The governors call the practice a voluntary free ride - paid for by state taxpayers — that gets migrants closer to family or support networks.
But Bowser last month dismissed that characterization, saying that the asylum-seekers are being “tricked,” as many don’t get close enough to their final destinations and some are ditched at Union Station near the U.S. Capitol and the White House. Often they arrive with no resources and no clue what to do next.
On Friday, Bowser told reporters that the Pentagon appears to be concerned “about the open-ended nature of our request.” and that a more specific one would help.
“We want to continue to work with the Department of Defense so that they understand our operational needs and to assure that political considerations are not a part of their decision,” Bowser said, adding that she believes the “crisis” will only worsen. “We need the National Guard. If we were a state, I would have already done it.”
A coalition of local charitable groups has been working to feed and shelter the migrants, aided by a $1 million grant from FEMA. But organizers have been warning that both their resources and personnel were nearing exhaustion.
“This reliance on NGOs is not working and is unsustainable — they are overwhelmed and underfunded,” Bowser said in her letter. She has repeatedly stated that the influx is stressing her government’s ability to care for its own homeless residents and now requires a federal response.
Bowser sharply criticized Abbott and Ducey, accusing them of “cruel political gamesmanship” and saying the pair had “decided to use desperate people to score political points.”
Explaining his decision to add New York City as a destination, Abbott said that Biden’s “refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies” forced Texas to “take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe.”
He said the migrants are being dropped off at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
“In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city,” Abbott said.
In response, Fabien Levy, spokesman for Adams, tweeted that Abbott’s “continued use of human beings as political pawns is disgusting. NYC will continue to welcome asylum seekers w/ open arms, as we have always done, but we still need support from DC.”
As mayor of D.C., Bowser does not have the authority to personally order a National Guard deployment, an issue that has become emotionally charged in recent years as a symbol of the district’s entrenched status as less than a state.
Her limited authority played a role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump. When it became clear that Capitol Police were overmatched by the crowds, Bowser couldn’t immediately deploy the district guard. Instead, crucial time was lost while the request was considered inside the Pentagon, and protesters rampaged through the building.

NORTHFIELD, N.H. — Authorities said Friday that no arrests have been made after a mother and her two young sons were found dead in their Northfield, New Hampshire, home earlier this week, NBC 10 News reports.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Geoff Ward said they have been in contact with the children's father, and he's been "very cooperative and helpful in this investigation." He said the attorney general's victim witness advocate continues to work with him and his family.
"He is obviously beyond devastated as a result of these crimes," Ward said.
The victims were identified Thursday as Kassandra Sweeney, 25, and her two sons, Benjamin Sweeney, 4, and Mason Sweeney, 1, according to a joint press release from the attorney general, state police, and Northfield police.

College baseball player has leg amputated following horrific boating accident, family says
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN/Gray News) – A prospective college baseball player had his lower leg amputated following a horrific boating accident that left him severely injured.
Parker Byrd has undergone numerous surgeries since the accident on Bath Creek on July 23.
Byrd was one of two people who fell off their tubes. Byrd’s friend safely got back on the boat, but as Byrd was approaching the boat, the ski rope got caught in the propeller and pulled Byrd toward it. Byrd was hit by the propeller and seriously injured.
Byrd has committed to playing baseball at East Carolina University as a freshman.
His mother Mitzi Byrd posted on social media confirming that her son had surgery to amputate his right leg below his knee. According to the post, doctors may have to perform another amputation above the knee.
“This is hard. I’m not going to lie, this is REALLY hard,” Mitzi Byrd wrote in another Facebook post. “Parker is trying to process it and we are trying to process it. I begged God to provide a miracle but we have to trust his plan.”
Parker Byrd underwent another surgery Friday morning to clean up and close some areas following the amputation. His mother said that marks surgery number nine.

August movie preview: A ‘Bullet Train’ and double the Idris Elba
Chicago - August is notorious for being a rather electric movie month, and that’s definitely true this year. As the summer blockbuster rush fades but before the fall awards season starts, you can expect oddball horror like A24’s "Bodies Bodies Bodies" and Peacock’s "They/Them," family friendly flicks like "13: The Musical" and survival thrillers galore. There’s also Brad Pitt boarding a "Bullet Train," Ron Howard directing a drama about the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, a sensitive Princess Diana documentary from HBO and a Diane Keaton body-swap comedy.
Oh and Idris Elba has not one but two films coming out this month — one where he fights a lion ("Beast") and one where he plays a genie ("Three Thousand Years of Longing"). So read on to learn more about what’s headed your way, cinematically speaking, in August 2022.
RELATED: Here are all the movies and TV shows coming to Tubi in August
Bullet Train (in theaters August 5)
Brad Pitt stars in Bullet Train.
From "Snowpiercer" to "Train to Busan" to that one scene from "The Wolverine," there’s nothing like a train-set action movie. And "Bullet Train" looks like it’s aiming to be the biggest, most explosive train movie of them all. Based on a Japanese novel and helmed by the director of "John Wick," "Atomic Blonde" and "Deadpool 2," "Bullet Train" stars Brad Pitt as an unlucky assassin codenamed Ladybug. His latest mission puts him on a bullet train through Japan — one that just happens to be filled with an international assortment of past lethal adversaries. With a twisty central mystery to anchor it, "Bullet Train" promises to be funny, stylish, brutally violent and filled with a cast of global stars who are absolutely going for it.
Rated R. 126 minutes. Dir: David Leitch. Featuring: Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Benito A Martínez Ocasio, Sandra Bullock.

Bodies Bodies Bodies (in select theaters August 5; opens nationwide August 12)
Photo: A24
Get ready for some summer horror fun courtesy of A24: This black comedy slasher centers on a group of rich 20-somethings who gather for a hurricane party at a remote family mansion. But when a game of "bodies bodies bodies" a.k.a. "mafia" a.k.a. "werewolf" goes wrong, the backstabbing suddenly gets very literal. With a cast featuring Amandla Stenberg, Pete Davidson, Lee Pace, "Borat 2" breakout Maria Bakalova and "Shiva Baby" star Rachel Sennott, "Bodies Bodies Bodies" is set to be one of the buzziest horror movies of the summer. As FOX Digital film critic Caroline Siede writes in her review from the South by Southwest Film Festival, "The fun of this gnarly whodunit comes from how the Gen Z characters bounce off one another over petty squabbles and self-absorbed concerns, both before and after the bodies start piling up."

Rated R. 94 minutes. Dir: Halina Reijn. Featuring: Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Myha'la Herrold, Rachel Sennott, Chase Sui Wonders, Pete Davidson, Lee Pace.

Thirteen Lives (streaming on Prime Video August 5)
(L to R) Thira ‘Aum’ Chutikul as Commander Kiet, Popetorn ‘Two’ Soonthornyanaku as Dr Karn, Joel Edgerton as Harry Harris, Colin Farrell as John Volanthen and Viggo Mortenson as Rick Stanton in THIRTEEN LIVES, a Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures film. Cre
Looks like 13 is Ron Howard’s lucky number. After captivating audiences with his 1995 true-life space survival story "Apollo 13," Howard looks to do the same with the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, in which a young Thai soccer team spent 18 days trapped in a flooded cave while a globe effort scrambled to rescue them. "Thirteen Lives" anchors its story around the divers who joined with Thai forces and more than 10,000 volunteers to try to rescue the 12 boys and their coach — navigating a dangerous maze of underwater tunnels in the process. The film promises to showcase "the limitlessness of the human spirit," with Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton as its central cave-diving trio. And for those who prefer to see this harrowing story on the big screen, "Thirteen Lives" began a limited theatrical run on July 29.
Rated PG-13. 142 minutes. Dir: Ron Howard. Featuring: Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, Joel Edgerton, Tom Bateman, Paul Gleeson, Pattrakorn Tungsupakul, Tui Thiraphat Sajakul, James Teeradon Supapunpinyo, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Weir Sukollawat Kanaros.

Luck (streaming on Apple TV+ August 5)
This latest Apple Original Film might look like a Pixar project, but it’s actually the debut feature for Skydance Animation. "Luck" centers on a young woman named Sam Greenfield (Eva Noblezada), the self-proclaimed unluckiest person in the world. But when a lucky penny and a talking black cat (Simon Pegg) lead her to the Land of Luck, she finds herself caught up in a mythic quest in a thoroughly magical realm where the future of good and bad fortune hangs in the balance. As for the Pixar aesthetics? That could be because Skydance Animation is run by John Lasseter, the former chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios, who left the studio in 2017 following alleged sexual misconduct towards employees and was hired by Skydance in 2019, amidst vocal pushback from Time’s Up and many others in Hollywood.
Rated G. 105 minutes. Dir: Peggy Holmes. Featuring: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Eva Noblezada, Simon Pegg, Flula Borg, Colin O’Donoghue, John Ratzenberger, Adelynn Spoon.

They/Them (streaming on Peacock August 5)
THEY/THEM -- Pictured: -- (Photo by: Josh Stringer/Blumhouse)
Academy Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan ("Gladiator," "Skyfall") makes his directorial debut with this slasher horror flick set at an LGBTQIA+ conversion camp. Kevin Bacon plays camp founder Owen Whistler, who promises to help queer and trans campers "find a new sense of freedom." But it’s not long before the campers must band together to protect themselves from Whistler’s psychologically unsettling methods — and a potential killer on the loose. This Blumhouse-produced flick promises to be "an empowering slasher film," which sounds like a genre we can get behind. Especially since it showcases exciting up-and-coming talent like Theo Germaine ("The Politician") and Austin Crute ("Daybreak.")
Not rated. 90 minutes. Dir: John Logan. Featuring: Kevin Bacon, Anna Chlumsky, Theo Germaine, Carrie Preston, Quei Tann, Austin Crute, Monique Kim, Anna Lore, Cooper Koch, Darwin del Fabro.

The time his estranged dad catfished him in an attempt to reconnect. Morosini writes, directs and stars as a version of himself while Patton Oswalt plays his hapless dad and Claudia Sulewski embodies the fictional dream girl "Becca." And though FOX Digital film critic Allison Shoemaker found the film a bit uneven in her review from the South by Southwest Film Festival, she notes, "Oswalt’s excellent work hinges on [...] empathy; it’s hard to think of an actor better equipped to play a deeply flawed, if well-intentioned man making a series of catastrophically bad decisions out of love and fear."

Prey (streaming on Hulu August 5)

Here’s a fun twist on a legacy franchise reboot: Instead of continuing the "Predator" series with another present-day military story, "Prey" is set 300 years ago in the Comanche Nation. It follows a young woman named Naru (Amber Midthunder), who’s bucked gender norms to become a fierce, highly skilled warrior and hunter. But when an extraterrestrial predator begins stalking her village, she faces her biggest threat yet. Interestingly enough, director Dan Trachtenberg ("10 Cloverfield Lane") initially hoped to keep the "Predator" connection a secret from the film’s marketing. But now that the alien trophy hunter is out of the bag, at least "Predator" fans will know to check this one out.
Rated R. 99 minutes. Dir: Dan Trachtenberg. Featuring: Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Dane DiLiegro, Stormee Kipp, Michelle Thrush, Julian Black Antelope.

Look, a big cheesy musical about tweens isn’t going to be for everyone. But the theater-loving kid in your life is likely to absolutely adore this adaptation of the 2008 Broadway show that (fun fact!) first gave Ariana Grande her start. "13: The Musical" centers on a middle schooler named Evan (Eli Golden) who’s devastated to move from New York City to small-town Indiana. So he decides to win new friends by throwing the coolest Bar Mitzvah party ever, only to discover that the social hierarchies of eighth grade are a whole lot more complicated than he anticipated. With toe-tapping songs from "The Last Five Years" composer Jason Robert Brown and a cast of talented young people, "13: The Musical" hopes to liven up summer with a little musical theater exuberance.
Rated PG. 92 minutes. Dir: Tamra Davis. Featuring: Eli Golden, Debra Messing, Rhea Perlman, Josh Peck, Peter Hermann, Gabriella Uhl, JD McCrary, Frankie McNellis, Lindsey Blackwell, Jonathan Lengel, Ramon Reed, Nolen Dubuc, Luke Islam, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Kayleigh Cerezo, Willow Moss, Liam Wignall, Khiyla Aynne.

Rated PG-13. 107 minutes. Dir: Scott Mann. Featuring: Grace Caroline Currey, Virginia Gardner, Mason Gooding, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Mack & Rita (in theaters August 12)

In this unlikely riff on "Big," a 30-year-old writer and influencer named Mack (Elizabeth Lail) accidentally unleashes her "inner 70-year-old" when she makes a wish to embrace her old-soul personality and wakes up as her future self (Diane Keaton). Posing as Mack’s "Aunt Rita," she winds up becoming an unlikely social media sensation — all while flirting with a cute dog-sitter and learning to let go of the constraints of other people’s expectations. Like 2018’s "Book Club" and 2019’s "Poms," "Mack & Rita" is the latest comedy to mine some fizzy fun from Keaton’s septuagenarian years. Only this time around she gets scene-stealers like Taylour Paige, Patti Harrison and Wendie Malick as scene partners.
Rated PG-13. 95 minutes. Dir: Katie Aselton. Featuring: Diane Keaton, Taylour Paige, Elizabeth Lail, Loretta Devine, Simon Rex, Dustin Milligan, Amy Hill, Lois Smith, Wendie Malick, Patti Harrison, Martin Short, Addie Weyrich, Aimee Carrero, Nicole Byer.

The Princess (streaming on HBO and HBO Max August 13)
Courtesy of HBO
Just a few weeks before the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, HBO premieres this original documentary all about "the people’s princess." Made up entirely of archival audio and video footage, "The Princess" promises an "intimate and immersive look" at the key events in Diana’s life as they happened. As film critic Clint Worthington writes in his review from the Sundance Film Festival, "‘The Princess’ never pretends to impart any scandalous new information. But it offers a front-row seat to Diana’s experiences. We witness the merciless media campaigns to interrogate her private life as well as Diana’s attempts to turn that obsessive scrutiny into a tool for her many humanitarian efforts; we bear witness to the public’s subsequent reduction of a complex woman to a stereotypical camera-hungry fame seeker. More than anything, ‘The Princess’ interrogates how the public’s need for a fairy tale dovetails with their need to destroy it."

Beast (in theaters August 19)

Look, if you ask us, Universal Pictures missed a trick by not calling this movie "Idris Elba vs. a Lion." But that’s what you can expect from this R-rated survival thriller set on the savannah. Elba plays Dr. Nate Daniels, a recently widowed father who decides to take his two teenage daughters to visit a South African game reserve. But what he didn’t anticipate was the giant lion with a murderous hatred of humans. This is the latest survival story from director Baltasar Kormákur, who previously delivered "Everest" and "Adrift." But while those films adapted harrowing true-life stories, "Beast" looks to be a more heightened affair. One that features Elba punching a lion in the face.
Rated R. 93 minutes. Dir: Baltasar Kormákur. Featuring: Idris Elba, Sharlto Copley, Iyana Halley, Leah Sava Jeffries, Riley Keough.

"Star Wars" star John Boyega puts his dramatic skills to excellent use in this thriller based on a harrowing real-life event: It’s 2017, and former US Marine Brian Brown-Easley (Boyega) walks into a Wells Fargo Bank and hands the cashier a note explaining that he has a bomb. What follows is a tense hostage crisis with grievous consequences. As FOX Digital film critic Caroline Siede writes in her Sundance review, "It really can’t be overstated how much Boyega holds the film together in a role that strips him of his showman’s charisma and replaces it with a nervy, capricious, empathetic intelligence that’s counterbalanced by flashes of paranoia and frustration." You can also expect strong supporting turns from Nicole Beharie and the late Michael K. Williams in one of his final film roles.

Three Thousand Years of Longing (in theaters August 31)

How do you follow up a once-in-a-lifetime blockbuster achievement like "Mad Max: Fury Road"? With a genie story starring Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton, of course! Director George Miller is back with another curiously eclectic installment in his all-around electric career (in addition to directing all the "Mad Max" movies, he’s also the man behind the "Babe" and "Happy Feet" franchises). Swinton plays a lonely academic named Dr. Alithea Binnie who travels to Istanbul and accidentally unleashes a Djinn (Elba) who offers to grant her three wishes. But the logic-minded Alithea needs some convincing that the offer isn’t too good to be true. The trailer for "Three Thousand Years of Longing" looks trippy, inventive and totally original. So consider this a late summer treat for cinema lovers.
Rated R. 108 minutes. Dir: George Miller. Featuring: Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, Aamito Lagum, Nicolas Mouawad, Ece Yüksel, Matteo Bocelli, Lachy Hulme, Megan Gale, Zerrin Tekindor, Oğulcan Arman Uslu, Jack Braddy, Burcu Gölgedar.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Grammy-winning country trio Lady A has announced that its upcoming tour is being postponed to allow band member Charles Kelley time to focus on his sobriety.
The group was set to start the tour on Aug. 13 in Nashville, but in a social media post, the band said the tour would be postponed until next year.
“Right now, in order to be the healthiest, strongest and most creative band we can be, Lady A will take the time with the support of our families and team of professionals to walk through this together,” the band’s statement said.
The band is composed of Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood and was previously known as Lady Antebellum before changing their name in 2020. | https://cw33.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/lady-a-postpones-tour-as-charles-kelley-focuses-on-sobriety/ | 2022-08-05T20:22:01Z | https://cw33.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/lady-a-postpones-tour-as-charles-kelley-focuses-on-sobriety/ | false |
