ARLINGTON, Texas — Dylan Cease pitched six strong innings following a relatively rough start, Eloy Jimenez hit a tiebreaking solo home run and the Chicago White Sox beat the Texas Rangers 2-1 on Friday night.
Cease hasn’t given up more than one earned run in any of his last 13 starts. It’s the longest such stretch since the ERA entered baseball in 1913, breaking a tie with Jacob deGrom’s 12-game run last season.
“It’s definitely the best I’ve ever pitched,” Cease said. “I’m happy to be giving us a chance, and I hope to keep it going.”
Cease hasn’t allowed more than one run in a game since June 9, when he was tagged for six unearned runs.
He gave up a first-inning run on back-to-back two-out walks and an opposite-field RBI single by Adolis Garcia. He had not allowed a first-inning run since July 2.
Cease didn’t allow a hit after Bubba Thompson’s second-inning single. He struck out five and walked three, one after the first inning. After throwing 45 pitches in the first two innings, he threw 46 over the next four and was pulled at 91.
“We saw a different side of Dylan Cease,” White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “What did he have 40 pitches through two innings and pitched through the sixth? The young man continues to impress, amaze, whatever.”
Chicago tied the score 1-1 in the third beginning with a four-pitch leadoff walk to Yasmani Grandal, who came in on an 0-for-21 slump. Grandal advanced to third on Josh Harrison’s single that glanced off the glove of second baseman Marcus Semien and scored on a sacrifice fly by Seby Zavala.
Jimenez homered in the fourth to put Chicago ahead.
Kendall Graveman left the bases loaded in the eighth, retiring Leody Taveras on a first-pitch groundout to first base to end the inning. Liam Hendriks, the third White Sox reliever, pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save in 25 chances and celebrated his 100th career save with an energetic fist pump.
The White Sox have won 13 of their last 20 games and are tied for second place in the Central Division with Cleveland, two games behind Minnesota.
The Rangers have lost four of their last five games and fell back to 12 games under .500 to match their season low. They are a majors-worst 6-24 in one-run games.
Glenn Otto (4-8) gave up two runs and four hits in six innings while matching a career high with seven strikeouts. Otto is 0-6 in eight starts since returning from the COVID-19 related injury list.
“For Otto, that’s one of the better starts I’ve ever seen him have from start to finish,” Texas manager Chris Woodward said. “He looked really confident out there.”
SHORT HOPS
Jimenez went 2 for 4 and is 18 for 39 (.462) in his last 11 games. ... Texas 1B Nathaniel Lowe saw his hitting streak snapped at 11 games, matching the longest this season by a Ranger. ... Thompson, who made his big-league debut on Thursday night, recorded his first two major league steals. ... RHP Brock Porter, Texas’ fourth-round draftee this summer, was introduced to the crowd early in the game. A few innings later while seated in a suite, Porter grabbed a foul ball on the fly.
TRAINER’S ROOM
White Sox: RHP Reynaldo Lopez (back) is scheduled to pitch a simulated game on Saturday. “My understanding is he’s four or five days away from being ready,” La Russa said.
Rangers: INF-OF Brad Miller (neck strain) was activated from the 10-day injured list. Miller was the DH on Friday, his first action since July 17, and went 0 for 4. To make room for him on the active roster, INF-OF Nick Solak was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock.
UP NEXT
White Sox RHP Michael Kopech (4-7, 3.12 ERA) goes against Rangers RHP Dane Dunning (1-6, 4.30) on Saturday. Kopech, from the east Texas town of Mount Pleasant, matched a season high with seven innings last time out in a 2-1 loss to Kansas City. Dunning has four straight no-decisions and hasn’t won since April 30.

ATLANTA — Rhyne Howard scored 20 points, Cheyenne Parker added 17 and the Atlanta Dream handed the Indiana Fever its 15th straight loss with a 91-81 victory on Wednesday night.
Atlanta (13-18) ended a four-game losing streak and moved into a three-way tie for seventh in the standings.
Atlanta led 64-34 early in the third quarter before Indiana battled back to get within single digits in the fourth. Indiana outscored Atlanta 28-13 in the third to get within 75-62 and started the fourth by scoring 15 of the first 22 points to make it 82-77 with 5:02 left. But the Dream scored seven straight points and led by at least nine points the rest of the way.
Aari McDonald added 13 points, Kristy Wallace scored 12 and Maya Caldwell had 10 for Atlanta. Howard scored 14 of her points in the first half before reaching 20-plus for the ninth time this season.
Atlanta made 14 of its first 18 shots (77.9%) and led 36-17 after the first quarter. The Dream started the second quarter on a 7-1 run for a 43-18 lead, and it was 62-34 at halftime. The Dream had 21 assists on 23 made field goals and shot 62.2% from the field in the first half.
NaLyssa Smith scored 21 points for Indiana (5-28). Emma Cannon added a season-high 16 points and rookie Lexie Hull had a season-high 14 points, reaching double figures for just the second time this season.
Both teams were without their leading scorers. Tiffany Hayes left Atlanta's last game on Saturday with an ankle injury suffered in the second quarter, and Indiana's Kelsey Mitchell is done for the season with a plantar fascia tear in her left foot. | https://www.wthr.com/article/sports/wnba/indiana-fever/howard-scores-20-points-dream-hand-indiana-fever-15th-straight-loss/531-c2e9baba-ac5f-434a-8180-875166a2da87 | 2022-08-06T04:35:32Z | https://www.wthr.com/article/sports/wnba/indiana-fever/howard-scores-20-points-dream-hand-indiana-fever-15th-straight-loss/531-c2e9baba-ac5f-434a-8180-875166a2da87 | true |

Dear Annie: I recently read your column in which you gave advice on how to deal with a toxic relationship between a mother and adult daughter.
I have a similar issue with my 26-year-old daughter who lives with me after my recent divorce. Long story short, my daughter and I have had a tumultuous relationship since she was about 12. Every time she likes a guy or gets attention from a guy, she’s really nasty to me, like she doesn’t need me or something.
I had her when I was 16, so we practically grew up together. I feel like I was a decent parent and did the best I could. Seven years ago, she was in a toxic relationship with a man, and they broke up after a three-year relationship. She has not gotten over this, and it was a huge problem for at least two years after the breakup because she was still back and forth with him (and I think still is).
People are also reading…
Recently, I got divorced from her stepfather. I was seeing someone who I had a major blowout with and then made up and became friends with. My daughter despises this guy and states I can’t even have a friendship with him. She says he’s not allowed here and, in one instance, came home and told him to leave as soon as she saw him.
She really put me down afterward. She told me that he was ruining our relationship. I have been open and honest with her that our relationship has always had its ups and downs. I told her that I can be friends with whoever I want. I asked her to go to therapy with me, but she adamantly refused. I have lost hope. Please help! — Feeling Hopeless
Dear Feeling Hopeless: Perhaps what you and your daughter need is some time and space from one another. At 26 years old, your daughter is an adult and hopefully past the point of needing to live under your roof. You certainly don’t need her dictating who you can and can’t spend time with or putting you down for the choices you make.
Encourage your daughter to look for a place of her own. Strengthening a relationship like this takes time and plenty of patience, but with the added distance, both of your hearts may grow fonder of each other. And just because your daughter has refused to go into therapy with you doesn’t mean you can’t go on your own. Take the time to heal and work through your personal journey; you owe it to yourself.
Dear Annie: After two long years, my sister and her family have rented a beach house for us to take a weeklong trip together in August. We are all in our late 50s, and her children are in their late 20s. Our children and grandchildren won’t be going on the trip.
During COVID, I stopped shaving my arms, legs, the whole bit. My husband and I are quite comfortable with it. Should I shave for the week or be prepared for the looks and questions? — Happy To Be Hairy
Dear Happy To Be Hairy: Don’t feel pressured to conform to hairlessness again if that’s not what floats your boat. You’ll be surrounded by family in a safe, loving space where I doubt anyone minds what you look like — or what you shave. If you feel truly comfortable and confident in your skin, hair and all, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. | https://greensboro.com/life/dear-annie-a-rocky-road-for-mother-and-daughter/article_863ebde0-0f76-11ed-97a3-07153c4eeb7b.html | 2022-08-06T04:38:00Z | https://greensboro.com/life/dear-annie-a-rocky-road-for-mother-and-daughter/article_863ebde0-0f76-11ed-97a3-07153c4eeb7b.html | true |
Villagers have angrily objected to the expansion of an East Riding holiday park, claiming guests would cause traffic jams and overwhelm sewage systems – and they say they are already disturbed by tourists using hot tubs.
Critics of the plans to expand Croft Park, off Rowley Road, Little Weighton, claimed it would intrude on the village and feared new lodges would be occupied almost permanently. Rowley Parish Council, which has also objected, claimed the proposed 11 new lodges would further strain sewage systems that had already overflown at times.
In response, Croft Park said the expansion would be modest and had been planned with those living nearby in mind, including by planting new trees to screen it from view. It comes as the plans are set to go before East Riding Council's Western Area Planning Sub-Committee on Tuesday, August 9.

Plans show that each of the new lodges set to be built on land east of the existing park would have dedicated parking spaces. They would lie outside of the development limits of Little Weighton, bordering homes on New Village Road to the north and businesses to the south.
The Brakenwoods housing estates lie north of the site which is within a locally designated Important Landscape Area. Council planning officers stated in a report to the committee that the expansion was acceptable and would benefit the local economy and not have a detrimental impact on the area.
But they proposed a raft of conditions to require further planning approval if the park wanted to build more lodges on top of the 11 proposed. Yorkshire Water has not objected but called on councillors not to approve them without adequate plans for draining the site.
A total of 23 objections have been lodged against the plans but the council has also received 27 letters backing the expansion. Objectors claimed adding 11 lodges to the site could effectively create the equivalent in new homes, given they were often lived in for long period.
In a dossier to councillors, they claimed: "If the caravans are intended to be sold to individual customers with no sub-letting there will be little increase in tourism. The caravans will be serviced and maintained by their owners, they will therefore be of little benefit regarding increasing local employment.
"Recordings are available of noise emanating from visitors of the site utilising the jacuzzis late in the evening when the village is quiet. Croft Park is situated in an elevated position and the noise carries into the residential areas. This proposal impacts the village negatively in several aspects without offering anything positive in return."
Croft Park stated in its submissions that although the lodges were popular all year round, they were not readily visible from public vantage points. They stated: "The layout and additional planting have been designed to provide large, well-screened buffers between the site and nearby residential properties.
"Foul water drainage will be into the existing park foul drainage system and thereby onto the adopted sewer. External lighting will be the minimum to meet health and safety requirements.
"The development is to use the existing park access which, in line with licence requirements, provides for safe two-way vehicular movements with good access onto the public highway. The application proposes a modest expansion of a well-established, high-quality holiday caravan site.
"It is to be arranged sympathetically in terms of both neighbours and the wider locality."

The closing of storied jazz bar Club Deluxe underscores the devastation wrought by the pandemic on entertainment venues. It also illuminates the messiness of landlord-tenant disputes, many of which were heightened by the pandemic’s economic disruption.
August 27 will be the club’s last day of operation at the Haight-Ashbury location it’s occupied for more than three decades, said Sarah Wilde, who has owned the venue with her husband Chris Pankow for seven years. She sent an open letter to musicians inviting them to “grab a seat” to play there one more time.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to have run such an amazing institution,” she said in an interview. “I hope that we can move it. I have hopes for it being alive for another 33 years.”
Wilde and Veritas, the giant real estate company that manages the property, both say they were unable to come to an agreement about past and future rent. But beyond that, their accounts differ.
“We need the insatiable greed of wealthy investors, to give a flapjack about the cities they are systemically draining the color out of…but they do not,” Wilde wrote to the musicians.
Veritas released a statement from COO Jeff Jerden that said it had been “proactively trying to find a resolution with Club Deluxe for a year now, to keep them in the space.” It said it had offered to forgive over $200,000 of past due rent, amounting to two-thirds of arrears, and had offered a lease at lower rent through 2027.
“Despite the owner’s unwillingness to engage in meaningful negotiations, we have NOT initiated eviction,” Jerden wrote. “It is incredibly frustrating that we have done everything possible to prevent them from closing, only to be met with what they’ve inaccurately posted.”
Wilde took issue with that characterization.
“It's offensive and patronizing that they are calling my participation, and that of my lawyer, ‘meaningless,’” she said. “We put a tremendous amount of effort in trying to reach a fair and feasible lease.”
Veritas provided a letter it wrote to Wilde and Pankow which said that if back rent were not received, “Landlord may, among other things, commence enforcement of all rights and remedies pursuant to the Lease and/or otherwise under applicable law.”
Wilde said she “absolutely” interpreted those words as threatening eviction and a lawsuit over back rent. Veritas’s letter also said it will start charging Wilde and Pankow 5% of the delinquent rent. The two sides also disagree about the exact amount of arrears.
Wilde said Veritas’s offer to forgive much of the back rent was conditional on signing a new five-year lease, which she didn’t feel took into account the changed landscape.
“COVID is not gone,” she said. “Small businesses are still suffering. Fair market value is something I would have like to discuss because I feel it was different.”
Wilde said she was unable to pay the $15,000 monthly rent during the 16 months that health authorities required the club to shut down, from March 2020 until the end of June 2021.
Since July 2021, when the club reopened, Wilde said she paid rent in full and on time even though Deluxe had to close four more times. Three were pandemic-required shut-downs and once was due to water from upstairs units pouring down onto the stage, according to a letter she wrote to Veritas, which the real estate company provided.
She provided a copy of a rent ledger prepared by Veritas that confirmed her payments.
Veritas, San Francisco’s biggest residential landlord managing about 6,500 rentals in the city, has drawn criticism during the pandemic for its handling of rent relief for people in its apartments. A tenants’ union, the Veritas Tenants Association, staged a five-month rent strike. The group and its supporters said the strike resulted in cancellation of rent debt but Veritas said that it had not negotiated with the group and it was mischaracterizing a rent relief program it announced separately.
Veritas says it has worked hard to support tenants during the pandemic.
That’s not how Wilde sees it.
“We need these investors to see us as having value in our community, but they do not, and so we vanish from the cityscapes they come into,” she wrote in her letter to musicians.

INTEGRITY VITAL FOR COUNCILS
I agree with Anita Dow's recent comments (Adv., Aug 4) about the critical role of local government and the need to ensure all elected councillors have passed a working with vulnerable people and police check. After all, as one Hobart councillor recently noted, we scrutinise volunteers at a sausage sizzle more than we do our elected representatives.
How crazy is that? The saga of Mr Fairbrother, the Waratah-Wynyard councillor convicted of a crime that has seen him placed on the community protection register, is an example of the urgent need for reform in this area. I would further propose that a statewide code of conduct for local government councillors be created with real teeth that allows for clear corrective measures for inappropriate behaviour and/or under performance.

We deserve to be represented by people with integrity who take their job seriously and work for the betterment of their community. We don't need more councillors who sit, like bumps on a log, at council meetings and provide no input but happily accept their stipend.
We certainly don't want councillors, who wouldn't be allowed to cook snags on the barbie at the junior footy game, sitting on our councils because they cannot be removed even when convicted of a crime.
Reform now.
Vikki Iwanicki, Queenstown
PLAYING WITH VOTERS' LIVES
It's sad to see the younger generations getting plundered by governance and governments blaming opponents and external affairs after hearing the federal Treasurer suggesting "more pain" on the way for mortgage holders and pointing the finger at previous government's and the Reserve Bank.
The reserve bank was set up by government decree in 1960, basically to shift accountability away from itself, similarly with the "independent arbitrator" which "sets and forces" parliamentary salaries upon them.
All branches of the one tree incompetently imposing itself upon the citizens they're supposedly serving, whilst simultaneously fattening their own retirements at the expense of the battlers.
It's no shame and no pain for the political parasites bleeding the citizens to death. It's time to awaken.
Darrell H Poke, Latrobe
IT'S NOT EXACTLY THAT SIMPLE
I wonder why no one else has thought of Mr McDonald's over-simplistic fish farm waste solution that the Strait will flush away waste (Adv., July 27).
Of course the tides will wash away pollution. Perhaps there is no problem with air pollution either because the wind will blow it all away. Another solution would be to close our eyes to all the world's problems and make them all go away.

AP News in Brief at 12:04 a.m. EDT
Alex Jones ordered to pay $45.2M more over Sandy Hook lies
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A Texas jury on Friday ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a child who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, adding to the $4.1 million he must pay for the suffering he put them through by claiming for years that the nation´s deadliest school shooting was a hoax.
The total - $49.3 million - is less than the $150 million sought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut. But the trial marks the first time Jones has been held financially liable for peddling lies about the massacre, claiming it was faked by the government to tighten gun laws.
Afterward, Lewis said that Jones - who wasn't in the courtroom to hear the verdict - has been held accountable. She said when she took the stand and looked Jones in the eye, she thought of her son, who was credited with saving lives by yelling "run" when the killer paused in his rampage.
"He stood up to the bully Adam Lanza and saved nine of his classmates´ lives," Lewis said. "I hope that I did that incredible courage justice when I was able to confront Alex Jones, who is also a bully. I hope that inspires other people to do the same."
It could be a while before the plaintiffs collect anything. Jones' lead attorney, Andino Reynal, told the judge he will appeal and ask the courts to drastically reduce the size of the verdict.

'What recession?': US employers add 528,000 jobs in July
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. employers added an astonishing 528,000 jobs last month despite flashing warning signs of an economic downturn, easing fears of a recession and handing President Joe Biden some good news heading into the midterm elections.
Unemployment dropped another notch, from 3.6% to 3.5%, matching the more than 50-year low reached just before the pandemic took hold.
The economy has now recovered all 22 million jobs lost in March and April 2020 when COVID-19 slammed the U.S.
The red-hot numbers reported Friday by the Labor Department are certain to intensify the debate over whether the U.S. is in a recession.
"Recession - what recession?´´ wrote Brian Coulton, chief economist at Fitch Ratings. "The U.S. economy is creating new jobs at an annual rate of 6 million - that´s three times faster than what we normally see historically in a good year."

WASHINGTON (AP) - China cut off contacts with the United States on vital issues Friday - including military matters and crucial climate cooperation - as concerns rose that the Communist government's hostile reaction to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit could signal a lasting, more aggressive approach toward its U.S. rival and the self-ruled island.
China's move to freeze key lines of communication compounded the worsening of relations from Pelosi´s visit and from the Chinese response with military exercises off Taiwan, including firing missiles that splashed down in surrounding waters.
After the White House summoned China's ambassador, Qin Gang, late Thursday to protest the military exercises, White House spokesman John Kirby on Friday condemned the decision to end important dialogue with the United States as "irresponsible."
The White House spokesman blasted China's "provocative" actions since Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory. But Kirby noted that some channels of communication remain open between military officials in the two countries. He repeated daily assurances that the U.S. had not changed its policy toward the Communist mainland and the self-ruled island.
"Bottom line is we´re going to continue our efforts to keep opening lines of communication that are protecting our interests and our values," Kirby said. He declined to speak about any damage to long-term relations between China and the United States, calling that a discussion for later.

Israeli strikes on Gaza kill 10, including senior militant
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israel unleashed a wave of airstrikes Friday on Gaza, killing at least 10 people, including a senior militant, according to Palestinian officials. Israel said it targeted the Islamic Jihad militant group in response to an "imminent threat" following the recent arrest of another senior militant.
Hours later, Palestinian militants launched a barrage of rockets as air-raid sirens wailed in Israel and the two sides drew closer to another all-out war. Islamic Jihad claimed to have fired 100 rockets.
Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers have fought four wars and several smaller battles over the last 15 years at a staggering cost to the territory's 2 million Palestinian residents.
A blast was heard in Gaza City, where smoke poured out of the seventh floor of a tall building. Video released by Israel's military showed the strikes blowing up three guard towers with suspected militants in them.
In a nationally televised speech, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said his country launched the attacks based on "concrete threats."

Blaze kills firefighter's 10 relatives, 3 of them children
NESCOPECK, Pa. (AP) - Fire tore quickly through a house in northeastern Pennsylvania early Friday morning, killing seven adults and three children and horrifying a volunteer firefighter who arrived to battle the blaze only to discover the victims were his own family, authorities said.
The children who died were ages 5, 6 and 7, Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release, while the seven adults ranged from their late teens to a 79-year-old man. Autopsies were planned for this weekend.
Harold Baker, a volunteer firefighter in the town of Nescopeck, said the 10 victims included his son, daughter, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, three grandchildren and two other relatives. He said his two children and the other young victims were visiting their aunt and uncle's home for swimming and other summertime fun.
He said 13 dogs were also in the two-story home, but didn´t say if he knew whether any survived.
"All I wanted to do was go in there and get to these people, my family. That´s all that I was thinking about, getting in to them," Baker said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.

GOP Rep who voted to impeach advances in Washington primary
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse, who voted to impeach Donald Trump, advanced Friday to the general election following days of vote counts in Washington state's primary, but fellow Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler saw her advantage against an opponent endorsed by Trump rapidly shrink to within recount territory with thousands of votes left to count.
Both drew interparty challenges due to their vote to impeach Trump following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Newhouse, the four-term incumbent in the 4th Congressional District in central Washington and Democrat Doug White were essentially tied, with each capturing about 25% of the vote on a crowded ballot. White also advanced to the fall ballot. Loren Culp, a Trump-endorsed former small town police chief who lost the 2020 governor´s race to Democrat Jay Inslee, was at about 21%.
In the 3rd Congressional District in southwestern Washington, Democrat Marie Perez was the top vote getter, with 31% of the vote. Herrera Beutler, who had about 24% on Tuesday night, dropped to 22.6% Thursday night, 257 votes ahead of Joe Kent - a former Green Beret endorsed by Trump - who was at 22.5%.
A mandatory recount would occur if the margin of votes between the No. 2 and No. 3 candidates is less than half of 1% and closer than 2,000 votes.

Sinema gives her nod, and influence, to Democrats' big bill
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Joe Manchin sealed the deal reviving President Joe Biden´s big economic, health care and climate bill. But it was another Democratic senator, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who intently, quietly and deliberately shaped the final product.
Democrats pushed ahead Friday on an estimated $730 billion package that in many ways reflects Sinema's priorities and handiwork more than the other political figures who have played a key role in delivering on Biden's signature domestic policy agenda.
It was Sinema early on who rejected Biden's plan to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, as she broke with party's primary goal of reversing the Trump-era tax break Republicans gave to corporate America.
Sinema also scaled back her party's long-running plan to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices with the pharmaceutical companies as a way to reduce overall costs to the government and consumers. She limited which drugs can be negotiated.
Her insistence on climate change provisions forced the coal-state Manchin to stay at the table to accept some $369 billion in renewable energy investments and tax breaks. She also is tucking in more money to fight Western droughts.

Breonna Taylor supporters relieved by charges against police
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Louisville activists put in long hours on phones and in the streets, working tirelessly to call for arrests in the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor - but it was mostly two years filled with frustration.
This week they saw their fortunes suddenly change, when U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced federal charges against four officers involved in the March 13, 2020, raid that ended in Taylor's death.
After a series of disappointing setbacks, the charges brought a welcome sense of relief.
"It is such a weight lifted," said Sadiqa Reynolds, president of Louisville's Urban League, who has advocated for Taylor's family and led protest marches. "What this decision yesterday did is to begin lifting the cloud that had been hanging over us."
The indictments represent the first time Louisville police officers have been held accountable for Taylor´s shooting death in her home. Most of the new charges center around the faulty warrant that led officers to Taylor´s front door.

Record floods strand 1K people in Death Valley National Park
DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) - Record rainfall Friday trigged flash floods at Death Valley National Park that swept away cars, closed all roads and stranded hundreds of visitors and workers.
There were no immediate reports of injuries but roughly 60 vehicles were buried in mud and debris and about 500 visitors and 500 park workers were stuck inside the park, officials said.
The park near the California-Nevada state line received 1.46 inches (3.71 centimeters) of rain at the Furnace Creek area. That´s about 75% of what the area typically gets in a year and more than has ever been recorded for the entire month of August.
Since 1936, the only single day with more rain was April 15, 1988, when 1.47 inches (3.73 centimeters) fell, park officials said.
"Entire trees and boulders were washing down," said John Sirlin, a photographer for an Arizona-based adventure company who witnessed the flooding as he perched on a hillside boulder where he was trying to take pictures of lightning as the storm approached.

NCAA hoops leagues grapple with unequal pay for women's refs
The NCAA earned praise last year when it agreed to pay referees at its men´s and women´s basketball tournaments equally. The gesture only cost about $100,000, a tiny fraction of the roughly $900 million networks pay annually to broadcast March Madness.
Now, as the NCAA examines various disparities across men's and women's sports, pressure is rising to also pay referees equally during the regular season. Two Division I conferences told The Associated Press they plan to equalize pay, and another is considering it. Others are resisting change, even though the impact on their budgets would be negligible.
"The ones that are (equalizing pay) are reading the writing on the wall," said Michael Lewis, a marketing professor at Emory University's Goizueta Business School.
The details of NCAA referee pay are closely guarded, but The Associated Press obtained data for the 2021-22 season that show 15 of the NCAA´s largest - and most profitable -- conferences paid veteran referees for men's basketball an average of 22% more per game.
That level of disparity is wider than the gender pay gap across the U.S. economy, where women earn 82 cents for every dollar a man earns, according to the 2020 census. And it is an overwhelming disadvantage for women, who make up less than 1% of the referees officiating men´s games. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11086627/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-06T05:20:34Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11086627/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
James Mueller (76), and Donna Mueller (75), of Janesville, Wisconsin, died of their injuries after the lightning strike on Thursday in Lafayette Park, located directly outside the White House complex

A husband and wife from Wisconsin celebrating more than five decades of marriage were killed in a lightning strike outside the White House. A third victim was pronounced dead on Friday evening, and one other is hospitalised with life-threatening injuries.
James Mueller (76), and Donna Mueller (75), of Janesville, Wisconsin, died of their injuries after the lightning strike on Thursday in Lafayette Park, located directly outside the White House complex, the Metropolitan Police Department said on Friday.
A third victim, a 29-year-old adult male, was pronounced dead on Friday. The fourth person, a woman, was in critical condition, the police department said. Their identities were not immediately released.
Authorities did not reveal how the people were injured, other than to say they were critically hurt in the lightning strike.
The Muellers were on a trip to Washington, DC, to celebrate their 56th wedding anniversary, according to their niece, Michelle McNett of Janesville.
"They were a very loving couple," McNett told the Wisconsin State Journal. "They were very, very family oriented. I think everyone's just in shock right now and kind of request privacy."
The couple had five children, 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, she told the paper.
Donna Mueller was a teacher and in retirement worked at the Comfort Shoppe, a local furniture store. Jim (76), was a retired contractor who had his own drywall business.
McNett said she's not sure why the couple picked the nation's capital for their vacation, but added that "Donna was a constant learner."
The husband and wife, according to their niece, loved having gatherings and just had a big family gathering a couple of weeks ago.
"They were very religious," she said. "Just the kind of people who would give the shirt off their back to do anything for you, both of them."
Officers with the Secret Service and the US Park Police witnessed the lightning strike on Thursday night and ran over to render first aid, officials said.
Emergency medical crews were called to the scene just before 7 pm and had transported all of the victims to the hospital with "critical, life-threatening injuries," fire department spokesperson Vito Maggiolo said.
"We are saddened by the tragic loss of life after the lightning strike in Lafayette Park," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. "Our hearts are with the families who lost loved ones, and we are praying for those still fighting for their lives."

Jays' miscues leads to Twins' walkoff win in 10th
Nick Gordon hit a three-run homer and scored in the 10th inning for Minnesota after a pair of miscues by Toronto catcher Danny Jansen, giving the Twins a 6-5 win over the Blue Jays on Friday night.
The Canadian Press
MLB: Blue Jays 5, Twins 6 (10)
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nick Gordon hit a three-run homer and scored in the 10th inning for Minnesota after a pair of miscues by Toronto catcher Danny Jansen, giving the Twins a 6-5 win over the Blue Jays on Friday night.
Gordon, who had three hits in the game, was the automatic runner to start the bottom of the 10th. Jordan Romano (3-3) struck out Jake Cave on a low slider that got past Jansen, who threw wildly to first, allowing Cave to reach and moving Gordon to third.
Tim Beckham hit a grounder to third baseman Matt Chapman, who threw home to get Gordon trying to score. Jansen likely would have had the out but didn’t catch the ball cleanly.
“I actually was sliding and watching the catcher, so I was actually seeing the ball fall and I was kind of yelling at the umpire,” Gordon said. “I was like, ‘Safe, safe.’ So, I was hoping he heard me.”
Toronto rallied from a 5-0 deficit before losing for the fourth time in its last 16 games.
“I think everything lined up the way we wanted it to line up and we just didn’t execute at the end,” interim manager John Schneider said. “I love the way we’re playing and I think it’s one game kind of in a vacuum. You try to squash it and move on.”
Michael Fulmer (4-4) left the bases loaded in the top of the 10th in his second appearance for Minnesota since being acquired from Detroit.
The Twins, who came in having lost six of nine, extended their AL Central lead to two games over Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox.
“Sometimes you just have to battle a little bit,” Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli said. “Put the ball in play. Make the other team make something happen. Once there’s guy on second base, once there’s a guy on third base, really anything can happen in this game if you give yourself the opportunity.”
The Blue Jays rallied in the ninth against new Twins closer Jorge López, another trade deadline acquisition who was an All-Star for Baltimore. Bo Bichette and Danny Jansen singled before Raimel Tapia blooped a two-out single into shallow center field.
Making his Minnesota debut, Tyler Mahle became the first Twins starter to finish six innings since Sonny Gray went six against Detroit on July 24.
Mahle allowed one hit through the first four innings before giving up homers to Matt Chapman, Santiago Espinal and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a two-run blast to center in the sixth.
Acquired at the deadline from the Cincinnati Reds for three prospects, Mahle allowed four runs and five hits. He had not allowed three homers in a game this season.
“I was excited to play in a meaningful game,” Mahle said. “Haven’t really done that all year. Excited that my family was here to see it.”
Gordon’s fifth homer of the season capped a four-run fourth against former Twins starter José Berríos, who gave up five runs on six hits in 3 2/3 innings.
I HATE GOODBYES
Minnesota designated right-hander Tyler Duffey for release or assignment, likely ending Duffey’s eight-season tenure with the team. Duffey was 2-4 with a 4.91 ERA this season. He allowed three runs in 1 2/3 innings in Thursday’s 9-3 loss to Toronto.
Duffey, 31, was a starter early in his time with Minnesota before becoming an important reliever. He held a 2.31 ERA over 80 appearances from 2019-2020.
“There are decisions that have to be made. This was one of them that was really hard,” Baldelli said. “It took some time and some contemplation before we got there. But we thought it was something that we had to do and, therefore, if we think it’s the right thing to do, we have to do it.”
Right-hander Cole Sands was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to fill a long-relief role.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: OF George Springer was out of the lineup as he deals with a lingering elbow injury. Schneider said it was a maintenance day for Springer.
Twins: OF Byron Buxton received a day off as he deals with his lingering knee injury.
UP NEXT
RHP Mitch White will make his Toronto debut on Saturday night after being acquired in a deadline deal with Los Angeles. White was 1-2 with a 3.70 ERA in 15 games, including 10 starts, for the Dodgers. Minnesota will start RHP Dylan Bundy (6-5, 5.04 ERA), who has allowed 15 earned runs over his last 19 1/3 innings.

Suspect shot cousin after ‘play fighting’ in hotel room on Las Vegas Strip, report says
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5/Gray News) - A man reportedly shot his cousin after they were “play fighting” in a hotel room on the Las Vegas Strip, according to an arrest report.
Suspect Billy Hemsley, faces charges of murder and attempted murder following the shooting at the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip late Thursday night.
KVVU reports, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received the first call about the shooting on the 8th floor of the Mirage around 8:40 p.m. Aug. 4, according to an arrest report.
Arriving officers found Acturius Dwayne Milner, on the floor of the room suffering from “numerous” apparent gunshot wounds, LVMPD said.
Milner has not yet been identified by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
Two additional victims were reportedly suffering from gunshot wounds and were transported to University Medical Center in critical condition, police said. One of the victims identified the suspect as a cousin, Hemsley.
The victim said her father, Milner, booked a room at the Mirage. Some family members went downstairs to gamble and came back to the room to eat, the arrest report said. Milner and Hemsley were in the room talking and drinking beers, the victim said.
“They started to play fight, but the play fighting escalated when [Hemsley] pulled out a silver or chrome colored handgun and fired several times at [Milner,]” the arrest report said. Then Hemsley turned to the other family members and shot at them, the report said.
Another family member called police around 12:58 a.m. Aug. 5 and said Hemsley told them that he had shot his cousin and his daughter, the arrest report said.
Hemsley reportedly threatened to kill her and she feared he would kill his mother, according to the report.
Police located Hemsley around 1:30 a.m. at a bus stop near Nellis and Twain, when he was taken into custody, the report said.
Hemsley reportedly had a gun in his waistband when he was being taken into custody.
Hemsley interviewed with police at UMC “while he was being treated for injuries sustained during his arrest,” the report said.
The suspect admitted to shooting his cousin, the arrest report said, telling police he “lost his s--t” when his cousin choked him, while they were play fighting.
He left the scene on foot and took a bus away from the Las Vegas Strip, the report said.
Hemsley’s first court appearance is set for Saturday morning.
On Jan. 1, 2003, Hemsley reportedly tried to shoot the same cousin after an altercation.
According to an arrest report from LVMPD, Hemsley was accused of shooting Milner twice in the buttocks following a drunken altercation. Police said three children were also present during the incident.
Hemsley’s girlfriend at the time told police that Milner and Hemsley were arguing all day, with Milner even calling Hemsley a curse word. The girlfriend said Hemsley was also upset that Milner made sexual advances toward her, the arrest report said.
Hemsley reportedly said to Milner, “If you call my girl’s name one more time, I’m gonna shoot you,” the arrest report said. Milner called for the girlfriend again and she heard a gun cock and then several gunshots, the arrest report said.
According to court records, Hemsley pleaded guilty to pointing a firearm at someone and discharging a weapon. He was sentenced to six months in jail.
On Nov. 29, 2012, Hemsley also reportedly stabbed a girlfriend and stole her car, according to an arrest report by LVMPD. The incident reportedly happened just after 7 a.m. when police were called for a domestic dispute.
Hemsley’s girlfriend, a different woman than the one named in the 2003 incident, said they’ve been dating for about a year. The girlfriend said Hemsley was intoxicated and used crack cocaine, the arrest report said.
Hemsley reportedly said, “I am going to kill you!” while holding a large butcher style knife with a 5-6 inch blade. Hemsley reportedly beat the woman to the ground.
The woman told police she tried to defend herself and Hemsley said, “This is what happens in prison when you do wrong” before stabbing her several times in the abdomen, the report said.
Hemsley then took the woman’s car keys and left, the arrest report said. Hemsley was eventually caught in the victim’s vehicle running a red light near Fremont and Charleston.
In an interview with police, Hemsley admitted to stealing the victim’s car, but didn’t mention the stabbing, the report said.
According to court records, Hemsley pleaded guilty to battery with a deadly weapon. He was sentenced five to 13 years in prison, court records revealed.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Dean Kremer took a shutout into the seventh inning before eventually giving way to the Baltimore bullpen.
This season, that must be a pretty comfortable feeling.
“It's been fun to watch them all season," Kremer said. “They've got a little bit of everything. Anything you can think of, they got it. Except we don't have any submarine guys. That's about it.”
Kremer pitched impressively into the seventh and Félix Bautista held on through a dicey ninth to lift the Orioles to a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.
Ramón Urias singled home the game's only run in the sixth after the Orioles squandered several chances earlier in the game. That was enough for a Baltimore team that has emerged as a surprising postseason contender recently.
Kremer (4-3) allowed four hits and struck out two. He escaped a first-and-third, one-out jam in the second when Cal Mitchell bounced into a double play. Then Kremer didn't allow a baserunner for the next four innings.
After Ke'Bryan Hayes hit a one-out double in the seventh, Kremer turned the game over to the bullpen, which again came through for the Orioles. Cionel Pérez got five outs and Bautista pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
The Orioles traded closer Jorge López to Minnesota shortly before the deadline, but Bautista has been excellent this season and seems capable of filling the role. He allowed a one-out single by Ben Gamel and a nine-pitch walk by Hayes. Then rookie Oneil Cruz struck out swinging and Kevin Newman went down looking.
Mitch Keller (3-8) allowed a run and eight hits in six innings. He has a 1.74 ERA in his last five starts.
Baltimore went 2 for 15 with men in scoring position. The Orioles put the leadoff man on in each of the first four innings, and in three of them had a runner on second with nobody out.
Ryan Mountcastle lined into a double play with men on second and third to end the first. Another double play in the fourth derailed a rally after the first two batters reached base.
“Usually when you squander that many early, you're expecting something not good to happen,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “Fortunately for us, Dean Kremer — I mean, that was his best outing of the year.”
Anthony Santander opened the bottom of the sixth with a double, and after Mountcastle failed to advance him with a groundout, rookie Terrin Vavra hit a comebacker off Keller for an infield single. Then Urias hit a chopper that snuck into left field to put the Orioles ahead 1-0.
The game was delayed for 109 minutes at the start, and the rain lingered after play began, but the crowd of 25,613 was spirited, perhaps energized by a Baltimore team that's now won 31 of its last 47 games.
Umpire Carlos Torres came down with a non-COVID illness before the game, so a three-man crew was in charge. This became an issue when batters attempted to check their swings and there was no ump positioned near third to make the call.
The Pittsburgh dugout erupted when Baltimore's Brett Phillips — batting with the bases loaded and two out in the eighth — was ruled to have held up on a pitch by Yohan Ramirez. Pirates manager Derek Shelton was ejected and said afterward he didn't agree that the play could be appealed to an umpire not far from second.
“I know it's very challenging, but I don't understand how we can go to a guy in the middle of the field for that call. I don't think that's right," Shelton said. “I think when you have a three-umpire crew, it should be the home plate umpire's call.”
Phillips ended up popping out.
Both teams were coming off impressive three-game sweeps — Baltimore against Texas and Pittsburgh against Milwaukee.
ON A ROLL
Vavra had three hits and is now 6 for 13 in his short time in the big leagues. His second-inning single made him the first Baltimore rookie to reach safely in seven straight plate appearances since Jerry Hairston Jr. in 1999, according to information from the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the Orioles.
That streak ended when he reached on an error in the fourth, but then he added two more singles.
“His at-bats have been so good,” Hyde said. “I'm so impressed with the ability to take pitches off the plate. I really like the short swing."
TRAINER'S ROOM
Orioles: OF Austin Hays (side) did not play.

Baltimore sends Austin Voth (1-1) to the mound Saturday against Pittsburgh's JT Brubaker (2-9). The Orioles will have a pregame ceremony celebrating the 30th anniversary of Camden Yards.

40-year sentence for Orlando man on sex crimes charges sends message, deputy says
DELAND, Fla. - An Orlando man has been sentenced to 40 years behind bars for child sex crimes. Tyler Thompson was arrested in February of 2021 when deputies found the then 22-year-old with a 13-year-old in a motel room. The deputy that found her tells FOX 35 News the sentencing is gratifying.
"I’m very happy with the sentencing," said Volusia County Deputy Royce James. "I think his 40-year sentence is well deserved."
Thompson, now 24, was found guilty on 30 counts of child sex crimes. His sentencing coming down in a Volusia County courtroom.
"The sentencing is where I got my true award my gratification and everything. That really meant a lot for me for him to be locked away for 40 years," said James. "Just knowing that that kid is going to be locked up until he’s in his mid-60s, I love the idea of that."
Deputy James is the sheriff who found the 13-year-old girl in an Edgewater Motel room after she never made it to her basketball game. Investigators say Thompson had met the young girl online and brought her to the motel for a "sleepover." James still remembers her running to him and clinging to his side after hours of tracking her down.
"I also routinely think ‘What if? What if? What if?’ What if we wouldn’t have found her? What would he have done?" said James.
That day was emotional for James as he has daughters not much older than the girl he rescued. Today, he still holds a close relationship with her.
"I’ve had dinner with them several times. I go by the house. She constantly texts me and calls me, so we do stay in contact with one another," said James.
James says that the girl he once saved is now a vibrant, intelligent, and personable young woman. He’s just thankful the planets aligned for him to get there in time. Security experts say parents have tools to prevent someone like Thompson from praying on their children. Chief Security Officer at Gold Sky Security Jonathan Cox says that begins with a conversation.
"When you understand what your children are doing online you can really help them understand what’s really appropriate and what’s not," said Cox.
Cox says both android and apple phones have family safety apps that can help you limit screen time and access to certain apps.
"That can certainly help put safeguards in place both technically and also from an education perspective they really have some great products to help out in that capacity," said Cox.
Cox says to remind your children that the internet is forever. You should discuss what photos or comments are safe to post online.
"It’s important to understand what’s appropriate and what’s not appropriate. As a family you can decide that together," said Cox. | https://www.wogx.com/news/40-year-sentence-for-orlando-man-on-sex-crimes-charges-sends-message-deputy-says | 2022-08-06T05:52:22Z | https://www.wogx.com/news/40-year-sentence-for-orlando-man-on-sex-crimes-charges-sends-message-deputy-says | true |
Nurses sue Florida hospital alleging they were not warned of active shooter drill, and thought it was real
OCALA, Fla. - Two nurses at AdventHealth's TimberRidge emergency room in Ocala, Florida, have filed a lawsuit against the hospital alleging they were left traumatized after the hospital conducted a simulated active shooter exercise, but did not tell those attending the training it was part of a drill.
According to the lawsuit, the two nurses – Lauren Palazini and Dominique Tucker – attended a mandatory "Disaster Preparedness and Mass Casualty training session" at the hospital. The lawsuit states that as the training session was underway, the hospital "staged an unannounced 'active shooter' situation'; where a male employee carried what appeared to be a semiautomatic weapon, behaved like a mass shooter, and made loud noises that sounded like a gunshot, before he "burst into the training room and pointed his weapon at (the nurses) and other employees, and told everyone to get on the ground."
One of the nurses called 911.
The lawsuit said Palazini was "terrified, severely traumatized and in fear of her life, and she believed she was caught in the middle of a true active shooter situation," according to a draft of the lawsuit. They also allege that they were told 10 minutes later that it was part of a drill.
In a statement, AdventHealth said the lawsuit "specifically refers to a single incident in 2021, which was one segment of a larger comprehensive safety training for a group of nursing students. We have addressed this instance to ensure a standard process is followed consistently and continue to worth with industry experts to make our training as effective as possible at protecting our teams and patients."
Each nurse is seeking $30,000 in damages, according to the lawsuit.
Marion County Sheriff Lt. Paul Bloom conducts active shooter demonstrations and said this is not how they're supposed to be done.
"Throwing someone in the deep end of the swimming pool is not how you learn to swim. There's a better method. Teaching somebody about a very scary, very real threat in our society today needs to be approached with caution and respect for the person that you're teaching,' he said. | https://www.wogx.com/news/nurses-sue-florida-hospital-alleging-they-were-not-warned-of-active-shooter-drill-and-thought-it-was-real | 2022-08-06T05:52:40Z | https://www.wogx.com/news/nurses-sue-florida-hospital-alleging-they-were-not-warned-of-active-shooter-drill-and-thought-it-was-real | true |
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Food and Agriculture Agency’s global food price index dropped for a fourth straight month in July, but was still 13% higher than in July 2021, the agency reported Friday.
FAO said last month’s 8.6% decline was the steepest monthly drop in the value of the index since October 2008. The index hit an all-time high in March, immediately following Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
The overall decline in the July index was led by significant drops in the vegetable oil and cereal indexes and lesser declines in the sugar, dairy and meat indexes, FAO said.
The FAO Food Price Index measures the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities. It consists of the average of five commodity groups — cereal, vegetable oil, meat, dairy and sugar. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/UN-food-price-index-dropped-in-July-for-fourth-17355975.php | 2022-08-06T05:52:48Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/UN-food-price-index-dropped-in-July-for-fourth-17355975.php | true |

New Birmingham head coach John Eustace admitted his team has a point to prove after overcoming last season’s brush with relegation.
A narrow 2-1 win over Huddersfield thanks to first-half goals from Scott Hogan and home debutant Przemyslaw Placheta, on loan from Norwich City, gave Eustace’s outfit a seemingly comfortable platform for victory.
But it was a different story after the break and Danny Ward pulled one back for Huddersfield as the hosts had to defend for long periods.
Blues would have gone down from the Sky Bet Championship last season but for Derby’s 21-point deduction and Eustace believes his players have plenty of questions to answer despite taking four points from two games.
“Last season we didn’t finish well and we should have been relegated if Derby hadn’t had all the points deducted, so the group has a point to prove and the players we’re bringing in do too,” said Eustace.
“We’ve showed we’re very competitive and hard to play against.
“Collectively this group want to play for each other and most importantly they want to make the fans very proud here at Birmingham City.
“We have started OK but no one’s getting carried away – there’s a hell of a lot of hard work and dark days to come as well.
“But you could see today the fans really got us through that second half and our job is to get the fans, players and staff connected again.
“Hopefully with performances like that, a good footballing performance and a good strong, collective defensive unit in that second half, that’s all going to help.”
Hogan gave Blues a fifth-minute lead when he headed home Juninho Bacuna’s cross from the right for his first goal since January.
It was 2-0 in the 45th minute when Placheta’s first-time angled drive was palmed into the net by goalkeeper Lee Nicholls.
Ward’s neat finish put the game back in the balance and Huddersfield head coach Danny Schofield is convinced his side can challenge again after being beaten play-off finalists last season.
“There are definitely encouraging signs. It’s a fantastic group of human beings in that dressing room and they showed that last season,” he said.
“The only thing I ask of them is that when they come into the changing room and they look in the mirror, they see the person they want to see and that’s not letting themselves down.”
Schofield felt Huddersfield were slightly hard done but must cut out the errors if they are to bounce back after successive defeats.
“I thought we were pretty dominant in the second half. The attacking play, momentum, and the rhythm of the game was with us I think pretty much from the start,” he added.
“That’s why I felt hard done by because fundamentally we were off in terms of first and second balls, technical detail on the passes and retaining the ball at times was pretty low.
“But it was a much-improved second-half performance and we maybe deserved more.
“We need to reflect on this and see how we can improve and start more on that front foot with more intensity and quality.
“There were moments when we passed the ball and suffered the counter-attack, and I think that’s what ultimately cost us.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3567772/we-have-a-point-to-prove-birmingham-boss-john-eustace/ | 2022-08-06T05:59:09Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3567772/we-have-a-point-to-prove-birmingham-boss-john-eustace/ | false |
Greg Gutfeld: China's revenge has only just begun
Greg Gutfeld talked Pelosi's trip to Taiwan
So China's president is pissed off and not because LeBron James is a lousy kisser.
Because Nancy Pelosi, the spork with eyebrows, took a girls’ shopping trip to Taiwan, China sent scores of planes to the Taiwan Strait -- never met him -- and fired live missiles near the self-ruled island. To be fair, they warned her, but she said she didn't hear them because she forgot to charge the batteries in her miracle ear.
The US military brass responded immediately, mobilizing troops for an emergency pronouns workshop.
GREG GUTFELD: LONG TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME IS DRIVING THE MEDIA'S POLARIZATION
So China fired a load of missiles in waters off Taiwan, activated 100 planes, including fighter jets and bombers, plus ten warships. But man, don't they know how bad all that is for the environment?
How's the media handling this? Well, imagine a country issuing a warning, telling you that what you're about to do crosses the line, and yet you do it anyway. You know, it's like when my wife tells me to stop leaving my shoes and socks on the floor in Larry Kudlow's pool house. I'm tired of the lies.
China says don't go to Taiwan, but hey, screw you China, we're coming over just for **** and giggles, which are the Secret Service nicknames for Biden and Harris. Disgusting. And so, like a divorce lawyer, you drive up tensions between adversaries while also driving one enemy, China, into the arms of another, Russia. Warships, planes, missiles, all that's missing is this [Godzilla clip].
That was actually Nancy Pelosi doing some window shopping in Taipei. Poor Taiwan, threatened by Chinese battleships and old battle-axes. Still, you got to wonder what Nancy's husband is doing right now.
But the revenge has only just begun. This is one expensive shopping trip from the get-go. It already cost the taxpayers millions, including the taxpayers in Pelosi's disgusting district, San Francisco, which, as you know, looks like this [Homeless man sleeping].
Yeah. She's got her priorities straight. And the fact is, she didn't need to fly. Her eyebrows are already in the Mile High Club. Looks like someone just showed her my ratings.
So Nan goes out of her way to tick China off. After telling everyone else not to do the very same thing, I'd call her two faced. But that's five faces ago. So what kind of leader would do something so stupid? Besides the current prez, who needs training wheels for his stationary bike? Well, we were always told it would be this guy who would cause global unrest.
NANCY PELOSI: The Trump administration's reckless, rash decisions are no substitute for real global leadership.
MSNBC COMMENTATOR: Multiple national security crises, all exacerbated by Donald Trump's erratic and untethered foreign policy impulses.
CNN COMMENTATOR: What you need to do is lower the temperature and not increase the temperature. And in a way, I think you could say that he's playing right into Kim's hands.
MSNBC COMMENTATOR: So it's the erratic nature of this. Which I don't think is strategic, which leads me to believe that Trump isn't serious and may not be up to the job.
HILLARY CLINTON: A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.
She looks so much healthier before she killed Jeffrey Epstein. But seriously. Where is Joe when it comes to China? What the hell, Joe?
STAFFER IMITATING BIDEN: Oh, no, no. Look, look, I. I can't tell that lady what to do. I didn't want her to go, but the. Yeah. Do you ever try to tell an old lady what to do? They do the opposite. So I said, go ahead, go to Taiwan. I don't care. She went. Oh, I'm a little afraid of her anyway. I'm more afraid of Nancy than the Chinese. I mean, did you see when she ripped up that State of the Union address? Come on. I said, that's one dizzy broad. You stay out of her way, Joe. Dizzy broad. Can I say that? No, probably not. They're going to put me back in the basement.
So, Trump was the danger? I don't think so. Unlike Pelosi, he didn't go to an adversary to stick a thumb in their eye. He went there, you know, to see what happens.
DONALD TRUMP: I want to see what happens. We're in very close contact. We have come certainly a long way, at least rhetorically, with North Korea. But we'll see what happens. That would be a great thing for the world, great thing for the world. So we'll see how it all comes about. We'll see what happens. We're going to see what happens. We're going to see what happens. We're going to see what happens.
So using basic sales techniques, Trump removed America's number one threat off the table, even according to Obama. And it wasn't Michelle's meatloaf. It was North Korea. And he did it without risking one troop's life.
Meanwhile, we've seen the chaos that's happened since. China mobilizing against Taiwan, Russia invading Ukraine, Will Smith making the Oscars watchable. I mean, how about the Middle East? If anyone else did the Abraham Accords, you know, anyone else being a Democrat, they would receive the Nobel Peace Prize, or at least a happy ending from Jerry Nadler.
Fact is, Trump has been the most anti-war president in recent history. Under him, fewer people died while terrorists were looking over their shoulders like, R Kelly in the prison showers.
Meanwhile, it's the Dems who are the dopes creating global instability. But consider how the media might handle this latest provocation if Trump had done it. But you'll never know because Trump never would have done that. He understood the cost of things and he understood leverage, which Pelosi just handed to the Chinese.
Fact is, we forget what Trump was accused of doing because the actual doing never happened and the accusers are fulfilling the very things they accused him of doing. Under Trump – no wars and just peaceful accords and handshakes. Under Biden -- hot wars, cold wars, storage wars, cupcake wars. But you know, thank God we got rid of those mean tweets, right? Now, we can all sleep the sleep of angels, knowing his tweets are no longer out there wandering the cosmos, looking to hurt someone's feelings anymore. You know, like this one quote, "every time I speak of the haters and losers, I do so with great love and affection. They cannot help the fact that they were born ****** up."
They still hit. They still hit.
I'm assuming that's real. How about this one? "Sorry. Losers and haters. But my IQ is one of the highest. And you all know it. Please don't feel so stupid or insecure. It's not your fault."
CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
And perhaps the one that started it all is when some guy tweeted Trump, "If you hate America so much, you should run for president and fix things." Trump tweets back, "Be careful."
So that was a bigger threat than anything we ever knew. So we kicked him out and replaced him with an idiot who doesn't even know he's doing these bad things until he watches the local news and finds out the same way we do.
Suddenly we have wars, divisiveness, inflation, a missing president all at once. And we have Nancy to thank for the latest chaos. It's amazing she could do her job with a straight face. Not really. | https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/greg-gutfeld-chinas-revenge-has-only-just-begun | 2022-08-06T06:05:01Z | https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/greg-gutfeld-chinas-revenge-has-only-just-begun | true |
Suspect shot cousin after ‘play fighting’ in hotel room on Las Vegas Strip, report says
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5/Gray News) - A man reportedly shot his cousin after they were “play fighting” in a hotel room on the Las Vegas Strip, according to an arrest report.
Suspect Billy Hemsley, faces charges of murder and attempted murder following the shooting at the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip late Thursday night.
KVVU reports, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received the first call about the shooting on the 8th floor of the Mirage around 8:40 p.m. Aug. 4, according to an arrest report.
Arriving officers found Acturius Dwayne Milner, on the floor of the room suffering from “numerous” apparent gunshot wounds, LVMPD said.
Milner has not yet been identified by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
Two additional victims were reportedly suffering from gunshot wounds and were transported to University Medical Center in critical condition, police said. One of the victims identified the suspect as a cousin, Hemsley.
The victim said her father, Milner, booked a room at the Mirage. Some family members went downstairs to gamble and came back to the room to eat, the arrest report said. Milner and Hemsley were in the room talking and drinking beers, the victim said.
“They started to play fight, but the play fighting escalated when [Hemsley] pulled out a silver or chrome colored handgun and fired several times at [Milner,]” the arrest report said. Then Hemsley turned to the other family members and shot at them, the report said.
Another family member called police around 12:58 a.m. Aug. 5 and said Hemsley told them that he had shot his cousin and his daughter, the arrest report said.
Hemsley reportedly threatened to kill her and she feared he would kill his mother, according to the report.
Police located Hemsley around 1:30 a.m. at a bus stop near Nellis and Twain, when he was taken into custody, the report said.
Hemsley reportedly had a gun in his waistband when he was being taken into custody.
Hemsley interviewed with police at UMC “while he was being treated for injuries sustained during his arrest,” the report said.
The suspect admitted to shooting his cousin, the arrest report said, telling police he “lost his s--t” when his cousin choked him, while they were play fighting.
He left the scene on foot and took a bus away from the Las Vegas Strip, the report said.
Hemsley’s first court appearance is set for Saturday morning.
On Jan. 1, 2003, Hemsley reportedly tried to shoot the same cousin after an altercation.
According to an arrest report from LVMPD, Hemsley was accused of shooting Milner twice in the buttocks following a drunken altercation. Police said three children were also present during the incident.
Hemsley’s girlfriend at the time told police that Milner and Hemsley were arguing all day, with Milner even calling Hemsley a curse word. The girlfriend said Hemsley was also upset that Milner made sexual advances toward her, the arrest report said.
Hemsley reportedly said to Milner, “If you call my girl’s name one more time, I’m gonna shoot you,” the arrest report said. Milner called for the girlfriend again and she heard a gun cock and then several gunshots, the arrest report said.
According to court records, Hemsley pleaded guilty to pointing a firearm at someone and discharging a weapon. He was sentenced to six months in jail.
On Nov. 29, 2012, Hemsley also reportedly stabbed a girlfriend and stole her car, according to an arrest report by LVMPD. The incident reportedly happened just after 7 a.m. when police were called for a domestic dispute.
Hemsley’s girlfriend, a different woman than the one named in the 2003 incident, said they’ve been dating for about a year. The girlfriend said Hemsley was intoxicated and used crack cocaine, the arrest report said.
Hemsley reportedly said, “I am going to kill you!” while holding a large butcher style knife with a 5-6 inch blade. Hemsley reportedly beat the woman to the ground.
The woman told police she tried to defend herself and Hemsley said, “This is what happens in prison when you do wrong” before stabbing her several times in the abdomen, the report said.
Hemsley then took the woman’s car keys and left, the arrest report said. Hemsley was eventually caught in the victim’s vehicle running a red light near Fremont and Charleston.
In an interview with police, Hemsley admitted to stealing the victim’s car, but didn’t mention the stabbing, the report said.
According to court records, Hemsley pleaded guilty to battery with a deadly weapon. He was sentenced five to 13 years in prison, court records revealed.

LOS ANGELES – Tony Gonsolin pitched five scoreless innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers threw a four-hiter against the San Diego Padres' supercharged lineup, winning 8-1 Friday night after honoring Vin Scully.
Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts led the stadium in a unison call of Scully's signature “It's time for Dodgers baseball” during a memorial before the game. Scully died Tuesday at age 94.
The NL West rivals met for the first time since San Diego acquired superstar Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Brandon Drury ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Dodgers extended their division lead to 13 1/2 games over the Padres and showed no signs of slowing down.
Gonsolin (13-1) struck out six and allowed three hits.
Soto was showered with “Future Dodger” chants at Chavez Ravine last month when he played in the All-Star Game with his name on the trade block. Washington sent the 23-year-old to Los Angeles' rival instead, and Soto was booed in each at-bat Friday.
Soto and ex-Dodger Manny Machado had two of the Padres' four hits.
The Dodgers scored four runs in the first inning on a two-run double by Hanser Alberto, an infield single by Will Smith and an error. The Dodgers added another four runs in the third inning, on a two-run double by Chris Taylor — in his first game back from the IL — and Cody Bellinger's two-run double.
Sean Manaea (6-6) had one of the worst starts of his season, allowing eight earned runs on 10 hits in four innings.
Joey Gallo had a pinch-hit single in the ninth inning, his second hit since being acquired by the Dodgers from the New York Yankees.
The Padres scored on Drury's sacrifice fly in the ninth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Padres: SS Fernando Tatis Jr. (fractured wrist) will begin a rehab assignment either Saturday or Sunday in Double-A San Antonio.
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (back) was placed on the 15-day IL with a sore back. He had an X-ray and MRI, but results of the MRI weren’t yet known. There is no timetable for his return.
UP NEXT
Padres: RHP Mike Clevinger (3-3, 3.13 ERA) earned his first win in more than a month in his last start, allowing just one run on five hits in seven innings against Colorado.
Dodgers: LHP Andrew Heaney (1-0, 0.77 ERA) allowed just one earned run and four hits in four innings against the Giants on Monday. It was his second start back from a left shoulder strain.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Efforts by Myanmar’s neighbors to help restore peace and normalcy to the strife-torn Southeast Asian nation were hindered by the country’s recent executions of four political activists, Cambodia’s foreign minister said Saturday.
Prak Sokhonn, speaking in his capacity as special envoy to Myanmar of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, warned that further executions would force the regional grouping to reconsider how it engages with fellow member Myanmar.
Cambodia is the current chair of the regional grouping, and Myanmar is not welcome to send members of its ruling military government to ASEAN meetings because of its failure to cooperate with a plan agreed upon last year to work toward restoring peace.
Myanmar’s military rulers initially agreed to the plan, a five-point consensus, but have since made little effort to implement it. The country has slipped into a situation that some U.N. experts have characterized as a civil war.
Prak Sokhonn was speaking at a news conference after a weeklong meeting in Cambodia of ASEAN foreign ministers. The meeting’s final communique, issued Friday, included a section criticizing Myanmar for its lack of progress in ending violence there, but with weaker language than several countries had hoped for.
On Saturday, he described the executions of Myanmar dissidents as a “setback” to his mediation efforts and said the nine ASEAN members aside from Myanmar had “agreed to see how things will evolve in the coming weeks and months.”
He said “if more executions are conducted, then things will have to be reconsidered,” which suggested that ASEAN is prepared to downgrade its engagement with Myanmar’s military government. ASEAN has been criticized by some of its own members as well as other countries for doing too little to pressure Myanmar to implement the five-point consensus.
Myanmar’s army in February last year ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi and then violently cracked down on widespread protests against its actions. After security forces unleashed lethal force against peaceful demonstrators, some opponents of military rule took up arms.
Myanmar’s foreign ministry issued a statement Friday saying it objected to a reference in the ASEAN joint statement to a “lack of progress” in implementing the five-point consensus because “it neglects Myanmar’s efforts on its implementation.”
It also said that the four men recently executed were not punished because they were political activists but because they were “found guilty of masterminding, inciting, supporting, arming and committing terrorist activities which caused tremendous loss of innocent lives.”
Prak Sokhonn said progress has been made on providing humanitarian aid to Myanmar, but not on the other main points in ASEAN’s plan: stopping the violence and opening up a political dialogue among all the country’s contending parties.
“The only will I see now is to continue to fight,” he said. “Why? Because of the lack of trust and the execution of the activists, whether it is legal or illegal.”
“And without this trust, the fight will continue and the political process will never start because no one will come if they fear for their life,” he said.
While the men’s executions were a matter of law for Myanmar to decide, he said, they were a setback to building trust among Myanmar’s warring forces.
He also explained that his mandate as ASEAN special envoy was to engage with all stakeholders, which includes the organized opposition to Myanmar’s military rulers.
The opposition forces in Myanmar operate as an underground alternative administration, the National Unity Government, and its affiliated armed wing, the the People’s Defence Force.
Myanmar’s military government has branded the groups as “terrorists” and even declared contact with them to be illegal.
“If ASEAN member states and external partners genuinely wish to help Myanmar in restoring normalcy, they should not encourage engaging with the terrorist groups such as NUG and PDF and should avoid any actions that could encourage terrorism,” said Friday’s statement from Myanmar’s Foreign Ministry.
Prak Sokhonn declined to say Saturday whether he had been in contact with the opposition group, but declared that he was free as special envoy to engage with anyone outside Myanmar.

PHOENIX (AP) — Geraldo Perdomo is a .200 hitter for the Arizona Diamondbacks who carries himself with the confidence of a .300 hitter.
The fake-it-till-you-make-it approach worked wonders Friday night. The shortstop hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth inning, then made a terrific diving snag on a grounder in the ninth to preserve the lead, lifting the Diamondbacks over the Colorado Rockies 6-5 on Friday night.
“That's why I work hard, to make plays like that,” Perdomo said. “They give me the opportunity to play every single day and I try to prove to the organization what I have and what we have.”
The Rockies led 5-2 after six innings, but the Diamondbacks cut the deficit to 5-4 after Josh Rojas hit a two-run double in the seventh.
Arizona rallied again with one out in the eighth when Jake McCarthy hit a single and Emmanuel Rivera doubled to put runners on second and third. Carson Kelly grounded out, but Perdomo followed with a soft liner to right-center that just cleared the glove of leaping second baseman Brendan Rodgers.
“The guys kept fighting,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “That's what I was proud of.”
Perdomo followed in the ninth with a fantastic defensive play, diving for a grounder up the middle by C.J. Cron, before jumping to his feet and firing across the diamond for the second out of the inning.
Alex Colomé (2-5) took the loss, giving up the two eighth-inning runs. Chris Devenski (1-0) got the win with a scoreless eighth. Ian Kennedy worked the ninth for his sixth save.
The D-backs' rally ruined another quality outing for Rockies starter Germán Márquez, who has thrown well over the past month after a slow start to the season. The right-hander gave up two runs on four hits, walking three and striking out three.
The Rockies put together a three-run sixth inning to break a 2-all tie. Rookie Elehuris Montero hit a single to left field during the rally — bringing home Randal Grichuk and Yonathan Daza — for the first two RBIs of his brief career.
The Rockies had 12 hits and looked in control for much of the night, but the bullpen couldn't hold the advantage.
“This was a tough one,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “The guys (in the bullpen) have been pretty consistent, especially the last couple months. But it goes to show you, every player is not invincible.”
Arizona starter Madison Bumgarner gave up five runs, including four earned, over 5 2/3 innings. He surrendered 10 hits, walked one and struck out two.
Daulton Varsho had a solo homer for the D-backs in the fourth. It was his 15th homer of the season.
HONORING HAZEN, SCULLY
The Diamondbacks had a moment of silence before Friday's game for Nicole Hazen and Dodgers announcer Vin Scully.
Hazen, the wife of D-backs GM Mike Hazen, died on Thursday from complications due to glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. She was 45. The couple has four sons.
Lovullo pointed to the sky after the win. He added that “it's been a rough couple of days for me personally. I think there's a little piece of Nicole Hazen in this win today.”
Scully also died on Thursday at the age of 94. The Hall of Famer spent 67 years as a broadcaster for the Dodgers in both Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
HAND HISTORY
Bumgarner was pitching with umpire Dan Bellino at third base. The two have recent, unpleasant history.
Bellino ejected Bumgarner after the first inning of a game against the Miami Marlins on May 4, following a routine check of the pitcher's hands and glove for sticky substances. The awkward exchange included Bellino staring at Bumgarner for several seconds while checking his hand, then heated words between the two before the ejection.
Bellino later apologized for the exchange, which is rare for an MLB umpire. Bumgarner wanted no part of Bellino on Friday, intentionally avoiding him and having his hand and glove checked by home plate umpire Mark Ripperger instead.
“I'm not putting myself in that position again,” Bumgarner said. “No way. Won't do it.”
UP NEXT
The teams play again Saturday night. The Diamondbacks will throw RHP Merrill Kelly (10-5, 2.87 ERA), who will take the mound for the first time since winning NL Pitcher of the Month for July. The Rockies will counter with RHP Antonio Senzatela (3-6, 4.87).

SEATTLE (AP) — A night after hitting seven home runs and losing, the Los Angeles Angels needed just one long ball to hold off one of the hottest teams in baseball.
Taylor Ward's sacrifice fly scored Magneuris Sierra in the 10th inning, and the Angels blew a three-run lead late before pulling out a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
The Angels led 3-0 going to the bottom of the ninth before Seattle scored three times with two outs to force extra innings.
“It was a well played game in all facets,” Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said. “We swung the bats well, didn't punch a bunch across, but got the important ones when needed.”
Ward's fly ball off Paul Sewald (3-3) was deep enough for Sierra to score easily and give the Angels the lead. Jimmy Herget pitched a perfect bottom of the 10th to get the save.
Max Stassi hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to give the Angels a 3-0 lead that proved critical when Seattle rallied for three runs in the bottom of the inning.
“Really impressed with those big hits late in the game like that when you haven't done much offensively. These guys stepped up,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said.
Seattle's three-run rally in the ninth started when Jesse Winker walked with one-out against Jesse Chavez (2-1). Pinch-hitter Jake Lamb singled, and with two outs, Adam Frazier doubled to score Winker.
Ty France dribbled a single into center field to score Lamb and Frazier and pulled the Mariners even at 3-3. Seattle had three hits through the first eight innings, then strung together three in the ninth.
“He's a veteran guy. He's done this before. He's going to pitch some big innings late. He got a groundball there, it just got through,” Nevin said of using Chavez in the ninth.
It was the first matchup between the teams since their wild brawl on June 26 that resulted in multiple suspensions and a couple of injuries. Both Servais and Nevin said pregame the incident was in the past.
The Mariners' rally ruined the night for Angels starter Patrick Sandoval, who was in line for his first victory since May 22. Sandoval threw 5 1/3 shutout innings relying heavily on offspeed pitches, and Aaron Loup and Jose Quijada kept the shutout going into the ninth.
“I wanted to go in with my best pitches and play the odds with the best stuff I got,” Sandoval said. “So, slider, changeup, is primarily my best two pitches so I'm going to throw them as much as I can.”
Pitching was the story of the night until the ninth inning for both sides. Sandoval stymied the Mariners into the sixth, while Seattle starter Robbie Ray was terrific for seven innings with 10 strikeouts.
The only damage against Ray came in the first inning when Luis Rengifo doubled and Jo Adell followed with a broken-bat single to give the Angels the early lead.
Ray was otherwise dominant after getting roughed up in his previous two starts, both against Houston. Ray scattered five hits and had his sixth start this season with at least 10 strikeouts.
“I think for me, more than just getting back on track, I feel like I've kind of found something with my delivery over the last week, just really getting into my lower half, and really feeling my drive down the mound,” Ray said.
ROSTER MOVES
Former Angels IF David MacKinnon was claimed off waivers today by Oakland. MacKinnon had been designated for assignment on Tuesday.
Seattle added Lamb to the roster and designated for assignment OF Travis Jankowski. Lamb was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the trade deadline and now gets the chance to play for his hometown team.
“I feel like I’ve gotten chills the past two days over and over and over,” Lamb said.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Angels: IF David Fletcher was out of the lineup after getting hit in the foot by a pitch in Thursday’s game against Oakland. He’s expected back in the lineup on Saturday.
Mariners: OF Julio Rodriguez (wrist) is expected to pick up his baseball activity this weekend and should not need to go out on a rehab assignment when his stint on the injured list ends. ... IF/OF Dylan Moore (back spasms) is quickly improving and could be ready when his time on the IL ends. ... RHP Diego Castillo (shoulder) threw a bullpen on Friday. ... LHP Matthew Boyd (elbow), acquired at the trade deadline, will likely throw a live batting practice early next week before going out on a rehab assignment.
UP NEXT
Angels: The Angels will start RHP Jaime Barria (1-1, 2.55) in the first game of the doubleheader.
Mariners: RHP George Kirby (2-3, 3.56) makes his 15th start of the season. Kirby has been under pitch limits in his last two starts coming out of the All-Star break. Kirby allowed two runs struck out seven in four innings in his last start against Houston.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas jury Thursday ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay more than $4 million — significantly less than the $150 million being sought — in compensatory damages to the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, marking the first time the Infowars host has been held financially liable for repeatedly claiming the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history was a hoax.
The Austin jury must still decide how much the Infowars host should pay in punitive damages to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators who were killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut.
The parents had sought at least $150 million in compensation for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Jones’ attorney asked the jury to limit damages to $8 — one dollar for each of the compensation charges they considered — and Jones himself said any award over $2 million “would sink us.”
It likely won't be the last judgment against Jones — who was not in the courtroom — over his claims that the attack was staged in the interests of increasing gun controls. A Connecticut judge has ruled against him in a similar lawsuit brought by other victims' families and an FBI agent who worked on the case. He also faces another trial in Austin.
Jones’ lead attorney, Andino Reynal, winked at his co-counsel before leaving the courtroom. He declined to comment on the verdict.
Outside the courthouse, the plaintiffs' attorney Mark Bankston insisted that the $4.11 million amount wasn’t a disappointment, noting it was only part of the damages Jones will have to pay.
The jury returns Friday to hear more evidence about Jones and his company's finances.
In a video posted on his website Thursday night, Jones called the reduced award a major victory.
“I admitted I was wrong. I admitted it was a mistake. I admitted that I followed disinformation but not on purpose. I apologized to the families. And the jury understood that. What I did to those families was wrong. But I didn’t do it on purpose,” he said.
The award was “more money than my company and I personally have, but we are going to work on trying to make restitution on that,” Jones said.
Bankston suggested any victory declarations might be premature.
“We aren’t done folks,” Bankston said. “We knew coming into this case it was necessary to shoot for the moon to get the jury to understand we were serious and passionate. After tomorrow, he’s going to owe a lot more."
The total amount awarded in this case could set a marker for the other lawsuits against Jones and underlines the financial threat he's facing. It also raises new questions about the ability of Infowars — which has been banned from YouTube, Spotify and Twitter for hate speech — to continue operating, although the company's finances remain unclear.
Jones, who has portrayed the lawsuit as an attack on his First Amendment rights, conceded during the trial that the attack was “100% real” and that he was wrong to have lied about it. But Heslin and Lewis told jurors that an apology wouldn't suffice and called on them to make Jones pay for the years of suffering he has put them and other Sandy Hook families through.
The parents testified Tuesday about how they've endured a decade of trauma, inflicted first by the murder of their son and what followed: gun shots fired at a home, online and phone threats, and harassment on the street by strangers. They said the threats and harassment were all fueled by Jones and his conspiracy theory spread to his followers via his website Infowars.
A forensic psychiatrist testified that the parents suffer from “complex post-traumatic stress disorder” inflicted by ongoing trauma, similar to what might be experienced by a soldier at war or a child abuse victim.
At one point in her testimony, Lewis looked directly at Jones, who was sitting barely 10 feet away.
“It seems so incredible to me that we have to do this — that we have to implore you, to punish you — to get you to stop lying,” Lewis told Jones.
Barry Covert, a Buffalo, New York, First Amendment lawyer who is not involved in the Jones case, said the $4 million in compensatory damages was lower than he would have expected given the evidence and testimony.
“But I don’t think Jones can take this as a victory,” he added. “The fact is, $4 million is significant even if we might have thought it would be a little higher.”
Jurors often decline to award any punitive damages after deciding on a compensation figure. But when they choose to, the punitive amount is often higher, Covert said. He said he expects the parents’ attorneys to argue that jurors should send the message that no one should profit off defamation.
“They will want jurors to send the message that you can’t make a quarter of a billion in profit off harming someone and say you’ll just take the damages loss in court," Covert said.
Jones was the only witness to testify in his defense, and he only attended the trial sporadically while still appearing on his show. And he came under withering attack from the plaintiffs attorneys under cross-examination, as they reviewed Jones’ own video claims about Sandy Hook over the years, and accused him of lying and trying to hide evidence, including text messages and emails about the attack. It also included internal emails sent by an Infowars employee that said “this Sandy Hook stuff is killing us.”
At one point, Jones was told that his attorneys had mistakenly sent Bankston the last two years’ worth of texts from Jones’ cellphone. Bankston said in court Thursday that the U.S. House Jan. 6 committee investigating the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol has requested the records and that he intends to comply.
And shortly after Jones declared “I don’t use email,” Jones was shown one that came from his address, and another one from an Infowars business officer telling Jones that the company had earned $800,000 gross in selling its products in a single day, which would amount to nearly $300 million in a year.
Jones' media company Free Speech Systems, which is Infowars' parent company, filed for bankruptcy during the two-week trial.

TOPPENISH, Wash. (AP) — An arrest warrant has been issued for a fired Toppenish High School teacher accused of sexual misconduct with a student and offering alcohol to two students.
Bertha Cerna, 40, was charged in Yakima County Superior Court last week with first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor and two counts of furnishing liquor to minors, The Yakima Herald-Republic reported.
The charges follow a former student telling authorities that Bertha Cerna had sex with him while he was a minor.
Cerna and her husband Johnny Cerna were fired from the school district following an investigation by the school district into another student’s allegations that they had plied her with alcohol and tried to get her into a sexual relationship with Johnny Cerna. He hasn't been charged with a crime, according to court records.
When reached by the newspaper Bertha Cerna said she had no comment followed by an expletive.
Johnny Cerna was a vice principal and wrestling coach at the school and Bertha Cerna was a teacher and wrestling cheer team coach at the school.
Yakima County Sheriff’s detectives began investigating in 2021 after a student told another teacher about allegedly inappropriate text messages from Johnny Cerna.
She told detectives that from during 2021 she had been offered alcohol several times, and sometimes she would drink, according to a probable cause affidavit.
A former student told detectives that Bertha and Johnny Cerna gave her alcohol at their home, the affidavit said. She also identified a recent graduate who was having sex with Bertha Cerna.
According to an affidavit, that student told detectives about a sexual encounter he had with Bertha Cerna in her car at a ball field when he was 17. During the encounter, Bertha Cerna offered him an alcoholic drink and what appeared to be cocaine, the affidavit said, which he declined.
He described another incident when Bertha Cerna had sex with him at her house and offered to get him alcohol, the affidavit said.
The school district’s investigation found it was “more probable than not” that Johny Cerna engaged in inappropriate online conversations with a student, and that Bertha Cerna encouraged that relationship. It also found it was “more probable than not” that the Cernas gave the student alcohol.
The student who first brought the matter to light has filed a $500,000 tort claim against the school district. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Fired-teacher-charged-with-student-sexual-17354012.php | 2022-08-06T07:40:04Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Fired-teacher-charged-with-student-sexual-17354012.php | false |
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Jennifer Jordan walks up to a 250-foot mound of compost on a sunny morning at the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center.
She spears it with a thermometer and smiles as the gauge soars to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, almost 70 notches above the outdoor temperature.
“Is that not so cool?” marvels Jordan, the city’s resource management superintendent. “That’s the process. That’s Mother Nature.”
The pile is made up of food scraps, like eggshells and banana peels, and yard waste, like dead wood and mown grass. But it doesn’t stink. Even in the winter, the sped-up process of natural decomposition generates enough heat to convert what was once Johnson County residents’ leftovers into rich soil.
But the city is running out of space to turn the 11,500 tons of yard and food waste it collects every year into soil. It’s among two large-scale composting sites in Iowa that accept food, even though food scraps makes up 20% of the state’s waste stream.
That means Iowans send an estimated 556,313 tons of compostable food to landfills each year, according to the most recent estimates. It not only takes up space and stinks up the air, but also generates methane, a greenhouse gas.
But even if more Iowans decided to sort their food waste, the state’s current composting infrastructure wouldn’t be capable of processing it.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that just six facilities are permitted by the state to accept more than two tons of compost per week, and two of them accept food scraps. Another 77 sites process compost — not necessarily including food — but can’t cross the two-ton weekly threshold.
None of this is news to Jennifer Trent, program manager at the Iowa Waste Reduction Center. She’s also the vice president of the U.S. Composting Council.
“When I started looking at ways to divert food from the landfill through composting (in Iowa), I noticed a huge deficit. But it seemed so easy to me for a municipality to start something,” she said. “And I found out, it’s definitely not the low-hanging fruit, it’s clear up at the top of the tree, and it’s a problem that we have to solve.”
Iowa passed a law preventing yard waste from ending up in landfills in 1991 and, as a result, kickstarted a checkerboard of yard waste composting programs.
Only eight states have implemented laws to prevent food waste from ending up in landfills, according to the U.S. Composting Council.
Trent said, when she began targeting food waste reduction with the IWR about 10 years ago, she found the average person didn’t know about food waste composting and its implications for the climate.
That has now changed, she said, although there’s work to be done.
“People are learning about it, people are hearing about it, and I think it’s just taken an educational awareness to make a difference,” she said.
Staff at Iowa City’s compost site take the piles’ temperatures twice a week to ensure they’re hot enough for microorganisms to break down the material and kill disease pathogens.
If the temperature reaches 185 degrees Fahrenheit, they spread out the waste to cool down; when it’s too hot and dry, it can start on fire. They also have to check oxygen levels monthly and “turn” the piles — essentially stirring them so they cook evenly like dinner in the crockpot.
The mounds range from light to dark brown depending on their stage in the process. It’s a powerful demonstration of nature. Jordan remembers a call from the nearby city of Coralville hoping to dispose of a truckload of dead fish. They once received a tanker load of rotten eggs.
In both cases, they were composted successfully.
The process as a whole takes about a year. At the end, the fertile soil is checked for safe levels of ammonia and carbon dioxide. It’s sold for $20 a ton — one cent per pound. On average, the center sells 2,600 tons a year.
Theresa Stiner, a senior environmental specialist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said the agency wants to encourage composting, but at the same time “protect the environment where it’s happening.”
Runoff from poorly managed compost facilities can endanger the environment; soil that results from the process must be safe for use.
A large composting facility in Eddyville closed last summer after violating several permit regulations, including by allowing runoff to get into the ground. Locals complained of being unable to open their windows or spend time outdoors due to the smell, according to local news coverage.
Trent, with the IWR, said the facility “smelled to high heaven” and as a result, damaged the reputation of composting in the area.
“I started getting phone calls all the time from companies and businesses looking for somewhere to send their food waste, and I just had to tell them, there’s nowhere. It’s all being landfilled again,” she said.
Trent would like to see the two-ton composting limit increased so it’s easier to open and grow composting businesses — still with the environmental protections written in. As it stands, the process of getting a permit to go above that threshold is expensive and cumbersome, she said.
Plans are in the works to review the state regulations, Stiner said.
The DNR has received a number of requests for variances to the current regulations, Stiner said, which is a signal it could be time for an update. That means someone asks to bypass a regulation, assuming they can prove they won’t harm the environment in the process.
”(The regulations) just need to be brought up to speed with what other states are doing and the current state of composting is,” she said.
Other states allow for more curbside programs and industrial-scale composting facilities, whereas Iowa City’s program is rare for the state.
The first half of the process means spending months working internally to draft the updated regulations, she said.
Then, a formal nine-month process begins. That includes getting approval from the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission, a nine-person board appointed by the governor. The updates would also be presented to the Administrative Rules Review Committee within the Iowa Legislature.
Kaveh Mostafavi is CEO of the Compost Ninja, a private company in Iowa. He looked into getting a permit for a large-scale compost facility but decided it was too expensive.
The company collects food scraps for composting in Des Moines, but without a local option to bring them to, drives the waste back to Iowa City. He said he hopes to invest in electric vehicles to reduce the environmental impact.
“We’re super lucky that we have the Iowa City landfill that takes the food scraps,” he said. “They have the most nutritious, amazing compost at the end. But at the end of the day, the infrastructure doesn’t exist to do this on a massive scale.”
The Iowa City composting site got a permit to go beyond two tons weekly in the late 2000s. It came about after a group of University of Iowa students pushed for a food scrap compost program and worked with the city and university to test how it might work.
As a result, the city launched a “curbside” program in 2017 to make it easier for the average resident to compost food waste. People living in single-family homes to four-plex apartments can request a 25- or 95-gallon compost bin to accompany their recycling and trash pickup for an extra $2 monthly.
About half of the city’s households participate, Jordan said.
In addition, the $45 to $50 per-ton fee to “tip” garbage into the landfill goes toward the composting program. In other words, as the compost program continues to grow, it loses money.
The city is in the midst of figuring out how to expand its space for composting, knowing it is already running out.
And that there’s more to be collected. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Iowa-City-site-among-few-turning-food-scraps-into-17345385.php | 2022-08-06T07:42:02Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Iowa-City-site-among-few-turning-food-scraps-into-17345385.php | true |

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli jets pounded militant targets in Gaza early Saturday as rockets rained on southern Israel, hours after a wave of Israeli airstrikes on the coastal enclave killed at least 11 people, including a senior militant and a 5-year-old girl.
The fighting that began Friday with Israel's dramatic targeted killing of a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad continued throughout the night, drawing the sides closer to an all-out war.
But the territory's Hamas rulers appeared to stay on the sidelines of the conflict, keeping its intensity somewhat contained, for now. Israel and Hamas have fought four wars and several smaller battles over the last 15 years at a staggering cost to the territory’s 2 million Palestinian residents.
The latest round of Israel-Gaza violence was sparked by the arrest this week of a senior Islamic Jihad leader in the West Bank, part of a monthlong Israeli military operation in the territory. Citing a security threat, Israel then sealed roads around the Gaza Strip and on Friday killed the militant leader in a targeted strike.
A blast was heard in Gaza City, where smoke poured from the seventh floor of a tall building. Video released by Israel’s military showed the strikes blowing up three guard towers with suspected militants in them.
In a nationally televised speech Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said his country launched the attacks based on “concrete threats.”
“This government has a zero-tolerance policy for any attempted attacks — of any kind — from Gaza towards Israeli territory,” Lapid said. “Israel will not sit idly by when there are those who are trying to harm its civilians.”
“Israel isn’t interested in a broader conflict in Gaza but will not shy away from one either.” he added.
The violence poses an early test for Lapid, who assumed the role of caretaker prime minister ahead of elections in November, when he hopes to keep the position.
Lapid, a centrist former TV host and author, has experience in diplomacy having served as foreign minister in the outgoing government, but has thin security credentials. A conflict with Gaza could burnish his standing and give him a boost as he faces off against former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a security hawk who led the country during three of its four wars with Hamas.
Hamas also faces a dilemma in deciding whether to join a new battle barely a year after the last war caused widespread devastation. There has been almost no reconstruction since then, and the isolated coastal territory is mired in poverty, with unemployment hovering around 50%.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 5-year-old girl and a 23-year-old woman were among those killed in Gaza, without differentiating between civilian and militant casualties. The Israeli military said early estimates were that around 15 fighters were killed. Dozens were wounded.
Islamic Jihad said Taiseer al-Jabari, its commander for northern Gaza, was among the dead. He had succeeded another militant killed in an airstrike in 2019. That set off a heavy round of fighting between Israel and the militant group.
An Israeli military spokesman said the strikes were in response to an “imminent threat” from two militant squads armed with anti-tank missiles. The spokesman, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said al-Jabari was deliberately targeted and had been responsible for “multiple attacks” on Israel.
Hundreds marched in a funeral procession for him and others who were killed, with many mourners waving Palestinian and Islamic Jihad flags and calling for revenge.
Israeli media showed the skies above southern and central Israel lighting up with rockets and interceptors from Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system. It wasn’t immediately clear how many rockets were launched, and there were no immediate reports of casualties on the Israeli side.
Overnight, Israel struck rocket launchers, rocket building sites and Islamic Jihad positions. It also arrested 19 Islamic Jihad militants in the West Bank, the military said.
The U.N. special envoy to the region, Tor Wennesland, said: “The launching of rockets must cease immediately, and I call on all sides to avoid further escalation."
Following the initial Israeli strikes, a few hundred people gathered outside the morgue at Gaza City’s main Shifa hospital. Some went in to identify loved ones and emerged later in tears.
“May God take revenge against spies,” shouted one, referring to Palestinian informants who cooperate with Israel.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz approved an order to call up 25,000 reserve soldiers if needed while the military announced a “special situation” on the home front, with schools closed and limits placed on activities in communities within 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the border.
Israel closed roads around Gaza earlier this week and sent reinforcements to the border as it braced for a revenge attack after Monday’s arrest of Bassam al-Saadi, an Islamic Jihad leader, in a military raid in the occupied West Bank. A teenage member of the group was killed in a gunbattle between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants.
Hamas seized power in the coastal strip from rival Palestinian forces in 2007. Its most recent war with Israel was in May 2021. Tensions soared again earlier this year following a wave of attacks inside Israel, near-daily military operations in the West Bank and tensions at a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site. Israel withdrew troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005.
Islamic Jihad leader Ziad al-Nakhalah, speaking to the Al-Mayadeen TV network from Iran, said “fighters of the Palestinian resistance have to stand together to confront this aggression.” He said there would be “no red lines” and blamed the violence on Israel.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said “the Israeli enemy, which started the escalation against Gaza and committed a new crime, must pay the price and bear full responsibility for it.”
Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad is smaller than Hamas but largely shares its ideology. Both groups oppose Israel’s existence and have carried out scores of deadly attacks over the years, including the firing of rockets into Israel. It’s unclear how much control Hamas has over Islamic Jihad, and Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks emanating from Gaza.
Israel and Egypt have maintained a tight blockade over the territory since the Hamas takeover. Israel says the closure is needed to prevent Hamas from building up its military capabilities. Critics say the policy amounts to collective punishment.

Friendship Day 2022 EXCLUSIVE: Shakti Arora, Ashi Singh, Aparna Mishra reveal names of their best friends
Shakti Arora, Ashi Singh, Aparna Mishra talk about their best friends and plans for Friendship day.
The most special for celebrating the bond of friendship is Friendship day. Around the world, people are celebrating the day dedicated for friendship. Television actors are not an exception. On this special day, Telly actors Shakti Arora, Ashi Singh and Aparna Mishra talked about their best friends and how they will be spending the day in conversation with Pinkvilla.
Shakti Arora, who essays the role of Arjun in Zee TV’s Kundali Bhagya mentioned, "Good company means great memories. There's a couple - Mahavir and Asha, my wife and I have been friends with for more than 12 years. I feel the memories you create with your friends while travelling, stays with you forever. We have travelled around the world with Mahavir and Asha. The best part is we share a great bond, common interests and we are like a family now. We believe that all adventures are better when we enjoy them together. This year, I don't have any plans yet for friendship's day because I will be shooting for Kundali Bhagya, but we will get together soon and celebrate. Also, my fans are my friends and I would also like to wish them a very Happy friendship day!"
Ashi Singh, who essays the role of Meet in Zee TV's Meet mentioned, "These days good friendship bonds need lots of nurturing and when your sibling is only your best friend, there is nothing like it because they know you in and out. My sister Kashish is my best friend and even though she is younger than me, we share a bond like best friends. In fact, we always share everything with each other. Whenever we go out, we enjoy ourselves a lot with all of my other friends together, there is no filter in our conversations. I am really lucky to have found a best friend in my little sister. I don't have any plan as such for friendships day, but if I do, it will be incomplete without Kashish.”
Aparna Mishra, who essays the role of Shahana in Zee TV's Kumkum Bhagya, also said, “I call someone a friend when that person is true to you and stands up for you in every given scenario. Friends are people who do everything they can to make sure you stay safe and I met my best friend, Krishna Kaul, on the sets of Kumkum Bhagya. We absolutely love each other’s company and spend a lot of quality time on the set. In fact, post-shoot as well, we both keep going out for dinners and long drives. While we fight and play tricks on each other, I truly feel safe when Krishna is around me and the occasion genuinely makes me feel grateful that I have a friend like him in my life. Over the years, we’ve always gone out for dinner on Friendship Day and this is what we plan to do in 2022 as well.”

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Representatives of Dutch farmers were meeting Friday with Prime Minister Mark Rutte and other Cabinet ministers to discuss the government’s nitrogen emissions reduction goals that have sparked disruptive protests in recent weeks.
But the prospect of success appeared slim, with two main activist farmers’ organizations demanding concessions and not attending because they have no trust in the veteran politician appointed to act as intermediary. They say the mediator, Johan Remkes, is not independent.
Rutte did not comment to reporters as he entered the meeting in the central city of Utrecht.
Farmers angry at the target of slashing nitrogen emissions 50% by 2030 have blockaded supermarket distribution centers, parked tractors on highways and dumped garbage including manure and asbestos on roads in recent weeks.
Rutte has criticized what he said are small groups of farmers who he says have endangered others with the nature of their protests. “Willfully endangering others, damaging our infrastructure and threatening people who help clean up is beyond all limits,” he wrote on Twitter last week.
The government has been forced to act after courts in recent years began blocking permits for infrastructure and housing projects because the country was missing its emissions targets.
The government has earmarked an extra 24.3 billion euros ($25.6 billion) to finance agricultural reforms that will likely make many farmers drastically reduce their number of livestock or get rid of them altogether. Provincial authorities have been given a year to formulate plans to cut emissions.
Sjaak van der Tak, chairman of the main farmers’ lobby group LTO, said the talks were vital. LTO represents some 30,000 farms in the Netherlands.
“It is of enormous importance that we, together with the other agricultural parties, really expect something from this Cabinet,” Van der Tak said on his way into the talks.
LTO says there are nearly 54,000 agricultural businesses in the Netherlands with exports totaling 94.5 billion euros in 2019.
The Dutch minister responsible for nitrogen, Christianne van der Wal, said she had no expectations heading into the talks.
“First, listen,” she said. | https://fox59.com/business/ap-business/dutch-government-farmers-in-talks-on-emission-cut-targets/ | 2022-08-06T08:07:12Z | https://fox59.com/business/ap-business/dutch-government-farmers-in-talks-on-emission-cut-targets/ | false |

Private hospitals in Erode suspend OP services for a day in protest against Health Department’s action over oocyte sale
ERODE August 06, 2022 12:27 ISTErode branch of Indian Medical Association has called for a strike against the urgency shown to close Sudha Hospitals
Outpatient services in 250 private hospitals across the district were suspended on Saturday in response to the Erode branch of Indian Medical Association’s call for a strike against the Health Department’s urgency to close Sudha Hospitals in a case related to illegal oocyte sale.
The Health Department ordered closure of scan centres in four hospitals in Erode, Perundurai, Salem and Hosur after inquiry pointed out that the hospitals had violated rules in receiving oocytes from a minor girl. On July 15, a team led by R. Premakumari, Joint Director of Health Services, Erode district, sealed the scan centre at the hospital. However, the hospital management moved the Madras High Court that quashed the department’s order after which the seal was removed.
The State government filed an appeal before the bench of Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy against the order and the judges, on Friday, quashed the order issued to remove the seal.
A team led by Ms. Premakumari went to the hospital on Friday evening and asked the administration to close the hospital within two hours. But the staff said that 95 patients were undergoing treatment and sought time. Over 100 staff staged a protest on the hospital premises for over four hours. She told the media that the hospital was given time till Sunday for shifting or discharging the patients.
C.N. Raja, national vice-president, IMA headquarters, condemned the Health Department’s move to close the hospital in a hurry. “When the single-judge ordered the removal of the seal, officials took five days to remove it. But after the court passed the order on Friday, based on oral instructions, they rushed to close the hospital,” he said and added that the move has created fear among the public.
People who turned up at the hospitals were disappointed as they were asked to come on Sunday or Monday to meet the doctors. | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/private-hospitals-in-erode-suspend-op-services-for-a-day-in-protest-against-health-departments-action-over-oocyte-sale/article65735425.ece/amp/ | 2022-08-06T08:12:43Z | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/private-hospitals-in-erode-suspend-op-services-for-a-day-in-protest-against-health-departments-action-over-oocyte-sale/article65735425.ece/amp/ | false |

You’ll love cooking with a cast iron griddle when it’s properly seasoned
The large cook surface, raised sides and outstanding heat retention of a cast iron griddle make it the ideal cooking tool. However, stuck-on food can be an issue. That’s why a cast iron griddle needs to be seasoned with oil before you use it to prepare your favorite meals.
Seasoning cast iron is easy to do and can be accomplished with various types of cooking oils or specialty oil products. In this article: Lodge Cast Iron Griddle, Lodge Seasoning Spray and Clark’s Cast Iron Seasoning Oil.
Why should I season my cast iron griddle?
Cast iron is known for its durability and ability to withstand high cooking temperatures. However, it has its drawbacks including not being stick-resistant in its raw form and being prone to developing rust. That’s where seasoning comes in.
Seasoning is the process of baking layers of oil on the surface of cast iron cookware. Besides providing a nonstick surface, seasoning also produces a smooth black patina and protects cast iron from rusting.
Many cast iron cookware pieces are bare when they are new, and must be seasoned prior to use. However, some cast iron manufacturers pre-season their cookware before it’s sold to consumers. Such pieces can be used right out of the box, but it’s still a good idea to season pre-seasoned cast iron skillets, pots, griddles and other cookware.
How to season a cast iron griddle
Baking oil onto the surface of a griddle or other cast iron cookware is a process called polymerization, which produces carbonized oil. It requires cooking oil such as corn, vegetable or canola that has a high smoke point and produces a long-lasting patina. Another option is specialized cast iron oil.
Wash your griddle
Layers of oil will stick to cast iron surfaces when you start with clean cookware. Begin the seasoning process by hand-washing your griddle with warm water and soap. Rinse it until all of the soap is removed, and dry it with a dish towel.
Put oil on the griddle
Apply the oil sparingly to the interior and exterior of the griddle. A thin layer is ideal to prevent it from feeling sticky.
Bake the oil onto the griddle
Heat the oven to at least 450 degrees and place the griddle upside-down on a rack. Place a baking sheet or another type of ovenproof pan under it to prevent oil from dripping onto the oven’s heating element. Bake the griddle for an hour.
Repeat the process
Most new cast iron griddles will require several layers of carbonized oil for excellent seasoning. Repeating this process three to four times should suffice.
Care for your cast iron griddle properly
When cooking food on your griddle, using ample amounts of oil will enhance the seasoning on its cooking surface. Hand-wash the griddle with soap and water after use, and dry it thoroughly. Do not let it soak. Use a chain mail scrubber to remove tough buildup without damaging the seasoning. If your griddle ever begins to lose its oil-based patina, apply a bit of oil after it’s washed and dried or re-season it.

Ukrainian unit digs in for Russian assault on eastern city
SLOVIANSK, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian military personnel are fortifying their positions around the eastern city of Sloviansk in expectation of a fresh Russian attempt to seize the strategic point in the fiercely fought-over Donetsk region.
As heavy ground fighting continues on the front line only miles to the east, southeast and north of Sloviansk, members of the Dnipro-1 Regiment are digging in after a week of relative calm. The last Russian strike on the city occurred on July 30.
While the lull provided Sloviansk’s remaining residents a reprieve after regular shellings between April and July, some unit members say it could be a prelude to renewed attacks.
“I think it won’t be calm for long. Eventually, there will be an assault,” Col. Yurii Bereza, the head of the volunteer national guard regiment, told The Associated Press on Friday, adding that he expected the area to get “hot” in the coming days.
Sloviansk is considered a strategic target in Moscow’s ambitions to seize all of Donetsk province, a largely Russian-speaking area in eastern Ukraine where Russian forces and pro-Moscow separatists control about 60% of the territory.
Donetsk and neighboring Luhansk province, which Russia has almost entirely captured since Ukrainian forces withdrew in early July from the remaining cities under their control, together make up the industrial Donbas region. The separatists have claimed the region as two independent republics since 2014, and Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized their sovereignty before he sent troops into Ukraine.
Seizing Sloviansk would put more of the region under Russian control, but it also would be a symbolic victory for Moscow. The city was the first to be taken by the separatists during an outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine in 2014, though it was later brought back under Ukrainian control.
Furthermore, Russia’s military would like to take control of nearby water treatment facilities to serve Russian-occupied cities like Donetsk to the southeast and Mariupol to the south, Sgt. Maj. Artur Shevtsov of the Dnipro-1 Regiment said.
The Institute for the Study of War, a think tank based in Washington, said in a Friday assessment that Russian forces had increasingly transferred personnel and equipment from the Donbas toward southern Ukraine to push back at a Ukrainian counteroffensive around the occupied port city of Kherson.
Those attempts to secure Kherson come “at the expense of (Russian) efforts to seize Sloviansk ... which they appear to have abandoned,” the institute’s analysts said.
But Col. Bereza said he thought muddy conditions after recent rainy weather in the region, not the abandonment of Sloviansk as a target, were responsible for the pause in Russian artillery strikes.
“In two or three days, when it dries out, they will proceed,” he said.
Only around 20,000 residents remain in Sloviansk, down from over 100,000 before Russia’s invasion. The city has been without gas or water for months, and residents are only able to manually pump drinking water from public wells.
From a position on the outskirts of the city, soldiers in the Dnipro-1 Regiment expanded a network of trenches and dug bunkers against mortar strikes and phosphorous bombs.
At the outpost, Sgt. Maj. Shevtsov said the provision of heavy weapons from Ukraine’s Western allies, including U.S.-supplied multiple rocket launchers, had helped keep some Donbas cities like Sloviansk relatively safe since their delivery in June.
But such weapons have likely only bought time for Ukrainian forces, he said, adding that the lack of strikes in the last week “worries me.” In his experience, a lull means the Russians are preparing to go on the attack.
Another officer, Cmdr. Ihor Krylchatenko, said he suspected the silence could be broken within days.
“We were warned that there could be an assault on the 7th or 8th” of August, he said. “We’ll see, but we are ready.”

Taking a look back at another week of news and headlines from Cupertino, this week’s Apple Loop includes stunning iPhone performance, surprising iPhone 14 price, iOS always-on screen leaks, MacBook Pro questions, iPad OS delay, Apple’s advertising expansion, and Microsoft’s Apple Silicon move.
Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the very many discussions that have happened around Apple over the last seven days (and you can read my weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes).
iPhone 14 Set For Performance Boost
While the upcoming iPhones may not have any ground-breaking features - they are being to feel more like "S" updates with each revelation - Apple looks set to turn up the performance on the handsets. The latest details on the lower-end iPhone 14 models suggest a reworking around the modem to offer a faster phone:
"...Apple has redesigned the internals of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max and will equip them with a new Qualcomm X65 modem. The former is typically done to improve heat build-up, which allows chips to run faster for longer. The latter is expected to be up to 30% faster than its predecessor, the X60, while adding global support for mmWave — 5G’s fastest band. The leaker ends by saying ‘etc’, indicating that Apple has made further improvements elsewhere."
(Forbes).
iPhone Pricing Freeze
The iPhone looks set to challenge the competition in another way this autumn. As prices rise across the board from suppliers and subcontractors, Apple is looking to keep the price of the entry-level iPhone in 2023 at the same level as the 2022 model:
"...Apple’s decision was based on “global mobile phone market stagnation and demand decline... so the price of the basic model is frozen despite some price increase factors.” Detailed by other leakers, these factors include an increase in component prices due to shortages and Apple upgrading several key elements of the iPhone 14 lineup. Most notably, an all-new front-facing camera module from LG Innotek, which leaks claim is triple the price of its predecessor."
(Forbes).
Apple Leaks iPhone Always-On Screen
A closer examination of the source code from Apple's xCode developer environment, has revealed settings and sample code that would allow iOS to offer an always-on experience. That doesn't guarantee the tool will appear in the iPhone 14 family, but it makes it much more likely.
"Spotted by rhogelleim, an iOS developer, the fourth beta of Xcode 14 seems to include an example of what an Always on Display may look like for the iPhone. As seen below in the screenshot, the iPhone will appear to darken and gray out the screen when the Always on Display feature is turned on. "The developer notes that the widget (of Tim Cook's face) is usually in full color, but the SwiftUI preview removes all of the colors from the image when this potential feature activates"
(Rhogelleim via iMore).
Questioning The MacBook Pro
Every time there looks to be something to suggest the 13-inch MacBook Pro might be a good idea, reality knocks on the door. Even with a $200 discount mere weeks after its launch, the M2-powered laptop still feels isolated from the rest of Apple's macOS portfolio. I've taken a look at the middle ground the MacBook Pro is stuck in:
"Apple has kept this consumer-focused MacBook Pro around for at least another two years, sitting awkwardly between the consumers' MacBook Air and the professionals' MacBook Pro. It should deliver more performance than the MacBook Air thanks to the active cooling of the M2 chipset, but it still falls short of the M1 Pro and M1 Max in the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models from 2021. It should offer better value for money than the larger MacBook pro models, but it's the MacBook Air that carries the new design cues and modern touches, not the smaller MacBook Pro."
(Forbes).
iPadOS Update Delayed
With the focus on the iPad platform pushing it towards more mobile computing work, iPadOS continues to expand and accommodate the changes required. This year's update is running a few weeks behind schedule... expect it alongside a macOS release in October rather than the iOS release in September:
"It’s not uncommon for macOS to follow a few weeks after iOS, but the iPad software has always been updated on the same schedule as its iPhone sibling. Since iPadOS split from iOS in 2019, the two operating systems have arrived on the same day. [Bloomberg's Mark] Gurman says all of Apple’s software updates are running just a little behind schedule this year (the Public Betas launched a little later than usual, for example), but not drastically so."
(MacWorld).
Apple Prepares For Ads Expansion
Apple looks set to expand on its advertising delivery system with a new set of hirings suggesting a Demand Side Platform for serving ads throughout Apple's properties is being worked on. This is likely to target areas such as App Store Ads, in the News and Stocks app, and potentially into live streaming and media events (such as Friday night baseball:
"A DSP is a statement of intent for any ads business — let alone one like Apple, which has grown exponentially on the back of its decision to make it harder for companies to grow their own within its ecosystem. Indeed, a DSP is a core part of an ad tech stack for any company with designs on winning more media dollars. It’s technology, or more specifically software, that lets a marketer advertise with the help of automation. The automation of the process is important because it means marketers can set up campaigns and manage them with relative ease. In turn, they’re likely to spend more."
And Finally...
In the move away from Intel to Apple Silicon, Apple's Rosetta software allowed x86-based apps to keep running in the belief that developers would move over to the ARM-based chipset in time. Microsoft's popular Teams app has made that jump this week:
"We are rolling out a production grade universal binary version of Teams, which means it will run natively on the entire Mac lineup, including those with Apple silicon. For Mac users, this means a significant boost in performance, ensuring efficient use of device resources and an optimized Teams experience even when using multiple high-resolution monitors during calls or meetings."
(Microsoft).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pared part of their proposed minimum tax on huge corporations and made other changes in their giant economic bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Friday, as they drove toward delivering a campaign-season victory to President Joe Biden on his domestic agenda.
In an unusual peek at closed-door bargaining, Schumer, D-N.Y., said Democrats dropped a proposed tax boost on hedge fund executives after pivotal centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., said she would otherwise vote “no.” Schumer said that in its place, the measure now has a new tax — which others said will be 1% — on the shares companies buy back of their own stock, netting the government far more revenue.
“Sen. Sinema said she would not vote for the bill” or even vote to let debate begin unless private equity tax was removed from the legislation, Schumer told reporters. “So we had no choice.”
He spoke a day after he and Sinema announced compromise revisions to the environment, health care and tax package. With final numbers still to be calculated, the overall measure raises over $700 billion in revenue — including more robust IRS tax collections — using most of it for energy, climate and health initiatives and reducing federal deficits by $300 billion.
The accord puts Democrats on the verge of a more modest yet striking resurrection of many of Biden domestic aspirations that appeal strongly to party voters. Those include taxing big business, restraining prescription drug prices, slowing climate change, helping families afford private insurance and trimming federal deficits.
In another change, Schumer said a proposed 15% minimum tax on mammoth corporations had been trimmed and would now raise $258 billion over the coming decade, down from $313 billion. That provision, which has been the legislation’s biggest revenue raiser, will now let those companies depreciate their equipment costs more quickly, lowering the government’s tax take and helping manufacturers who buy expensive machinery. The new tax is expected to apply to around 150 companies with income exceeding $1 billion.
Democrats plan for the Senate to begin considering the bill Saturday, and the House will return next Friday for votes. The measure is sure to face unanimous Republican opposition in the 50-50 Senate, where the backing of Sinema and all other Democrats will be needed for passage, along with Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote.
“This bill is a game changer for working families and our economy,” Biden said at the White House.
Still other revisions are possible. But the package passed one hurdle when the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, said a provision could remain requiring union-scale wages be paid if energy efficiency projects are to qualify for tax credits.
She upheld another section limiting electric vehicle tax credits to those assembled in the U.S. and containing batteries with minerals from countries with whom the U.S. has free trade agreements.
“I’m especially pleased that our prevailing wage provisions were approved. These provisions guarantee wage rates for clean energy projects,” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said early Saturday.
Democrats were awaiting the parliamentarian’s decision on other issues including requirements that pharmaceutical makers pay penalties if they raise prices above inflation for drugs patients get from private insurers.
Democrats are using special rules that let them overcome GOP opposition and pass the package without needing the 60 votes most bills require. Under those procedures, the parliamentarian can force provisions to be dropped that break rules requiring them to be chiefly aimed at changing the federal budget, not making new policy.
Republicans say the measure will worsen inflation — a premier concern of voters — discourage companies from hiring workers and raise already high energy costs with its taxes.
“The pain at the pump is going to get worse, and it’s not just on the cost of energy to drive your car,” said Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, the Senate’s No. 3 GOP leader. “It’s also the energy to heat your home, energy that powers our country, energy for electricity.”
Nonpartisan analysts have said the legislation will have a modest impact on inflation and the economy.
“We’re feeling pretty good,” Schumer said about the legislation. “It’s what the country so desperately needs. And it’s what Democrats will deliver on in the coming days.”
The measure will also include $4 billion sought by Western senators to help their states cope with ruinous drought conditions, according to Sens. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., and Michael Bennet, D-Colo. The group had sought $5 billion.
The bill faces a long weekend, including a “vote-a-rama” of unlimited, non-stop votes on amendments, which will mostly come from Republicans. Most are destined to lose, though the GOP hopes some will box Democrats into votes that would create campaign-ad fodder.
Taxing executives of private equity firms, such as hedge funds, has long been a goal of progressives. Under current law, those executives can pay significantly less than the top 37% individual tax rate on their income, which is called “carried interest.”
That measure was also a favorite of conservative Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a long-time holdout against larger versions of Biden’s domestic plans who helped write the compromise legislation with Schumer.
But progressives also support taxing publicly traded companies that buy back their own stocks, a move that critics say artificially drives up stock prices and diverts money from investing. The buyback tax will net $74 billion over 10 years, much more than the $13 billion the “carried interest” plan would have raised. | https://www.krqe.com/news/business/dems-change-some-tax-provisions-as-they-ready-economic-bill/ | 2022-08-06T08:34:15Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/business/dems-change-some-tax-provisions-as-they-ready-economic-bill/ | false |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jason Martin, a Nashville doctor critical of Republican Gov. Bill Lee’s hands-off approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, won the Democratic nomination for governor Friday and will face Lee in November.
Martin, a first-time political candidate, defeated Memphis attorney and City Councilman JB Smiley Jr. by a thin margin, with advocate Carnita Atwater finishing a distant third. Both Smiley and Atwater would have been the state’s first Black gubernatorial nominee if either had won.
“We hear your message loud and clear. You’re upset that Bill Lee has failed you,” Martin said late Thursday, declaring victory before the race was called as he held a narrow lead in the vote count.
“He stood on the sidelines while 27,000 of our fellow Tennesseans died during the last couple of years,” Martin added, referring to the number of COVID-19 deaths in the state.
Lee was unopposed in his primary election Thursday as he looks to secure a second four-year term in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office since 2006. He trounced his Democratic opponent in 2018.
Martin jumped into the gubernatorial race last year after becoming an outspoken critic of Lee’s handling of the virus outbreak. The Republican governor declined to issue a statewide mask mandate and signed off on several laws that banned most vaccine mandates as the pandemic swept across the United States, killing more than 1 million people over two years.
However, even as virus pandemic continues to spread throughout the state, the outbreak is largely not a public priority — particularly during the gubernatorial campaign. Martin is now hoping that the tumultuous national political landscape and some of Lee’s recent controversies will help open a path for a Democrat to win a statewide seat.
Some of those include the ongoing fallout from the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision legalizing abortion nationwide. Lee has expressed support for some of the strictest abortion bans in the U.S.
Most recently, Lee declined to answer questions about whether he supported tweaking the state’s so-called trigger law to expand its exemptions and sidestepped directly answering whether he supported exempting children who were raped and then became pregnant.
Meanwhile, Lee received wide criticism from both sides recently after he refused to condemn disparaging remarks a charter school president made about public school teachers during a reception Lee attended. The president had said that the teachers “are trained in the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges.”
Lee contended that the remarks were not directed toward Tennessee teachers but were instead focused on “activism from the left” in schools around the country.
Martin decidedly outraised and outspent Smiley, the next-highest fundraiser. Lee, however, takes a big campaign cash edge into the November midterm election.
“I really believed when I decided to run that we could make life better for every Tennessean by investing in the things that we need to,” Lee said Thursday when asked about running unopposed in the primary. “I hope that Tennesseans have seen that that is the heart behind what we’re doing.”
Martin’s campaign declared victory Thursday night even as votes were still being tallied in Smiley’s hometown of Memphis. Smiley admonished Martin, saying the physician should have waited until the results were all in.
By Friday, Smiley said he was “disappointed in the results” but believed his campaign “forever changed the narrative in this state on the type of candidate that can win.”
While he held off on explicitly endorsing Martin, Smiley added the two agreed that defeating Lee in the general election was imperative. | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/doctor-critical-of-lax-covid-rules-wins-tenn-dem-gov-race/ | 2022-08-06T08:37:29Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/doctor-critical-of-lax-covid-rules-wins-tenn-dem-gov-race/ | true |

PHILADELPHIA (AP)Kyle Gibson retired his first 18 batters and pitched one-run ball over eight innings, Kyle Schwarber hit his NL-leading 34th homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 7-2 Friday night.
Rhys Hoskins, J.T. Realmuto, Nick Castellanos and Darick Hall also homered for the Phillies, who have won eight of nine to solidify their standing in the race for the NL’s third and final wild-card position. The victory moved Philadelphia 10 games over .500 for the first time since they were 37-27 on June 8, 2019.
Gibson (7-4) overpowered Washington’s lineup, weakened significantly after the club traded Juan Soto and Josh Bell to San Diego this week. He struck out four, allowed two hits and hit two batters over 105 pitches in his first start in nine days after taking bereavement leave for the death of his grandmother.
”Whenever you can execute pitches consistently and you feel like you are executing pitches in the right spot, you are locked into things and not thinking about adjustments,” Gibson said.
With four pitches getting mixed and matched and working on the corners, Gibson was able to force soft contact for most of the night.
”His two-seamer was really good,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. ”His cutter was good. He didn’t throw a slider for a strike until, like, the third time through the order. But man, that was pretty nasty.”
Gibson forced 12 groundball outs, including a sparkling backhand defensive play by third baseman Alec Bohm on a hard-hit ball by Ildemaro Vargas to end the sixth that kept the dream of a perfect game alive.
”Once you get through the first time around the lineup, you start thinking about it,” Gibson said. ”And then, when you get that play from (Bohm), you start chasing it, knowing you have one more time through the lineup. And it was a lot of fun.”
Washington’s Victor Robles broke up the perfect game by getting plunked with a sinker in his left forearm to begin the seventh inning. The next batter, Luis Garcia, ended Gibson’s no-hit bid with a clean single into left field over the glove of Bohm.
”I got tired for my first time on the mound in a while,” Gibson said. ”I stayed on my throwing routine, but not on my cardio routine. So I started losing my legs a bit and got the ball up.”
”That was the sharpest he has been,” Realmuto said. ”From the bullpen on.”
The Nationals/Expos franchise has not been no-hit since David Cone’s perfect game against Montreal on July 18, 1999.
Gibson surrendered his only run in the eighth, when Vargas lifted a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Lane Thomas. Garcia scored Washington’s second run in the ninth off reliever Brad Hand.
All of the offense that Gibson needed came in the first inning when Philadelphia jumped on starter Josiah Gray.
Hoskins hit a solo shot to right for his 22nd homer to start the scoring. Two hitters later, Castellanos crushed an inside fastball to deep left field for his 10th, making it 3-0. Hall immediately followed with his sixth homer since being called up from Triple A Lehigh Valley on June 29.
Realmuto – who fell a double short of the cycle – lifted a high-arcing homer that sneaked over the left-field wall for a two-run homer in the third.
Gray (7-8) was charged with six runs over four innings.
”He didn’t quite have his best stuff tonight and we were able to take advantage of it,” Realmuto said.
Schwarber closed out the Philadelphia scoring in the seventh with a rocket that hit the steps inside the home bullpen in deep right-center.
TRAINERS ROOM
Nationals: RHP Tyler Clippard threw a scoreless inning during a rehab assignment for Triple-A Rochester on Friday night. Clippard got two groundouts and one fly out in 11 pitches for the Red Wings. Clippard has been on the 15-day injured list since July 19 with a groin strain.
ROSTER MOVES
Phillies: Recalled INF Nick Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and optioned INF Yairo Munoz.
UP NEXT
The Phillies and Nationals meet Saturday in the third game of their four-game set. Washington will send LHP Patrick Corbin (4-15, 6.57 ERA) to the mound against Phillies LHP Ranger Suarez (7-5, 3.60).

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman isn’t wasting any time. Not with the Irish’s season opener against the coach’s alma mater coming up on the horizon.
Following a two-hour practice Friday morning in hazy, humid conditions, the 36-year-old Freeman told his players they had work to do before they visit Ohio State on Sept. 3 for a matchup of two schools expected to be ranked high in The Associated Press preseason Top 25.
”Right now, we’re starting out at ground zero,” said Freeman, who played linebacker for the Buckeyes under Jim Tressel from 2004-08. ”Long practices … tough, hard practices because we have to develop fast, man. We’ve got to be ready to roll right out of the gate.”
Two Irish offensive linemen expected to be starters – sophomore right tackle Blake Fisher and senior center Zeke Correll – both missed practice time when they were overcome by heat. Afterward, Freeman sternly told his players what he expected from them the rest of the preseason.
”It has to be hard,” Freeman said. ”It’s not changing. We’re not changing what we’re doing. It’s going to be hard. We had a couple of guys not finish practice today. It’s the trainer’s job to make sure they protect the player. It’s (the players’) job to make sure they are available for practice. The length of practice, the effort, the way we’re going to challenge our players – that’s not going to change.”
Freeman was hired by Notre Dame before last season to serve as Brian Kelly’s defensive coordinator. He was elevated to head coach after Kelly left for LSU following an 11-1 regular season.
Notre Dame’s 37-35 loss to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day was Freeman’s head coaching debut with the Fighting Irish.
The eight months since then have been a whirlwind of activity for Freeman – building a new staff led by coordinators Tommy Rees (offense) and Al Golden (defense), recruiting, spring football, more recruiting, alumni and other social media, and even more recruiting.
Freeman, however, is glad to be back in his coaching element, and the former linebackers assistant enjoys immersing himself with all the different position groups on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
”I believe in the core of heart that the same things that make you a successful position coach, a successful coordinator, I believe will be the same things that make you a successful head coach,” he said. ”It still goes down to hard work, it still goes down to preparing.”
Freeman spent his first fall practice watching the development of a new offensive line under returning assistant Harry Hiestand. Jarrett Patterson, the team’s starting center the past two seasons, has moved to left guard with Correll returning to center. Josh Lugg has moved to right guard, with Fisher and fellow sophomore Joe Alt the tackles.
Sophomore Tyler Buchner was getting first-team reps over junior Drew Pyne at quarterback.
”It’s a two-quarterback battle right now between Tyler and Drew,” Freeman said of the competition to find Jack Coan’s successor. ”I love the competition aspect of it. But as soon as we’re ready to name a starting quarterback, we’re going to do it.”

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)Starting safety Darnell Savage suffered a hamstring injury during the Green Bay Packers’ traditional ”Family Night” practice at Lambeau Field on Friday.
During one-on-one matchups between receivers and defensive backs early in practice, Savage pulled up while trying to cover Amari Rodgers. Savage, a first-round draft pick in 2019, watched the rest of practice from the sideline with ice wrapped around his right leg.
”I don’t think it’s a concern,” Savage said. ”It’s a fast-people injury. Some of those things you can’t avoid. I’ll just handle it the right way and listen to those guys back there and I’ll be all right.”
Early in training camp, Green Bay’s defense has mostly had its way with an offense that’s led by four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers but is adjusting to playing without All-Pro receiver Davante Adams. With Vernon Scott replacing Savage in the lineup, the defense’s strong play continued.
During a red-zone period, the starting offense ran seven plays inside the 10-yard line but scored only once. Rodgers zipped a touchdown pass to tight end Marcedes Lewis against tight coverage from rookie linebacker Quay Walker on the second play.
After that, safety Adrian Amos broke up a pass to Randall Cobb, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell stopped Aaron Jones on a jet-sweep-style flip from Rodgers, safety Shawn Davis almost intercepted a pass intended for Allen Lazard, and defensive tackle Dean Lowry dropped Jones on a run from the 2.
”I think there’s some things we’re doing a great job with and there’s a lot of areas for improvement,” coach Matt LaFleur said. ”One thing that we’ve kind of challenged our defense on is the consistency with stopping the run, and then I think they’ve done a pretty nice job defending the pass and, in particular, the deep balls and not giving up a ton of big plays down the field.”
At the start of camp, Rodgers predicted the offense was ”going to get our butts kicked most days” by a defense that might be the team’s best since winning the Super Bowl in 2010. The Packers re-signed Campbell and cornerback Rasul Douglas, added defensive tackle Jarran Reed in free agency and added Walker and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt in first round of the draft.
Meanwhile, Green Bay’s offense has struggled without Adams, who was traded to the Raiders in February, and offensive linemen David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins, who are recovering from torn ACLs.
”It’s a double-edged sword,” LaFleur said. ”I hope it’s our defense is really stout and they’re going to be very tough to deal with. I think the one area that we have to improve is just the consistency up front. Now, granted, I think we have a pretty good defensive front. Our front seven can be pretty salty, so I hope they’re making our offense that much better. But, at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter who’s out there. They’ve got to get the job done and we’ve got to see improvement over the course of the next week and into the preseason games.”
The Packers will open the preseason at San Francisco on Friday night.
NOTES: Attendance was announced at 50,112. … LaFleur canceled the last period because his team was banged up after a fifth consecutive day of practice. … One offensive highlight was backup quarterback Jordan Love’s long touchdown pass to Samori Toure. Love threw the ball with Wyatt in his face. … The No. 1 offense ended the night with a touchdown, a 2-yard run by AJ Dillon set up by completions of 26 and 11 yards to Sammy Watkins. … Yosh Nijman got all the starters reps at left tackle while Royce Newman and rookie Zach Tom alternated at right tackle.

Which lawn aerators are best?
Many people take pride in having a nice verdant yard. However, grass and other plants don’t always grow well, especially if the soil is compacted. That’s where having a quality lawn aerator is so helpful. With one, you can loosen up the dirt to let essential resources such as air and water reach the root systems of your lawn. The best lawn aerator, the Agri-Fab 45-0299 48-Inch Tow Plug Aerator, is sturdy, effective and easy to use.
What to know before you buy a lawn aerator
Purpose
The main reason to aerate a yard is to help the grass grow lush and healthy by breaking up soil. Over time, the soil starts to become compacted. This is especially common when there’s a lot of foot traffic or when there are heavy objects such as lawn mowers or children’s playhouses in the yard.
Compacted soil keeps water, oxygen and nutrients from reaching the grass roots. Without these resources, the grass starts to discolor, thin out and even die. This usually occurs in patches rather than across the entire yard.
A lawn aerator solves this problem by loosening up the soil so nutrients and other resources can reach the roots. It also makes it easier for fertilizers and other plant foods to get to the grass so they can grow more effectively.
Signs you need to aerate
Here are the main ways to tell if your yard needs to be aerated:
- Patchy or thin areas start to appear in the grass
- Free-standing water starts to appear in certain locations
- It’s difficult to break up the soil with a finger or small shovel
- Seeding the yard doesn’t result in new grass
- Fertilizer isn’t working
If your home was recently built, the dirt could also be compacted.
Aerators vs. dethatchers
There are different types of aerators, but they all work off the same concept. These tools use either hollow tines or rows of spikes to dig into the earth and loosen it. They can also cut through thatch to help your lawn get the resources it needs.
The purpose of lawn dethatchers is to remove thatch, which is the accumulation of organic matter that sits on top of the earth. This includes:
- Dead cells
- Stems
- Blades of grass
- Leaves
- Roots
Thatch isn’t inherently a bad thing. Around a 1/2 inch of thatch can even protect your lawn from excessive heat and create a natural fertilizer system. But too much of it can block essential resources from your grass’ roots.
Both dethatching and aeration are important parts of lawn maintenance. Generally, you should dethatch the lawn before aerating it. Doing this makes it much easier to keep your grass green and healthy.
What to look for in a quality lawn aerator
Type
Here are the main types of aerators:
- Core: These work by penetrating the ground and removing “cores” or “plugs.” The cores are usually 2 to 3 inches in depth and up to 1/2 inch around. This type of aerator is best with harder, clay-like soils.
- Spike: A spike aerator uses rows of long, thin spikes to create holes every so often in the lawn. These are best for sandier soils. One common type is spike shoes, which go over your regular shoes and let you aerate the lawn by walking on it.
- Manual: Many aerators are manual, meaning you need to hold and push them down into the earth using your shoe to loosen up the soil.
- Electric: There are spike and core electric aerators, which require less physical force to operate.
- Tow-behind: Certain aerators can be attached to the back of another vehicle, such as a riding lawnmower, to loosen up soil that way.
Lawn size
Before getting an aerator, consider the size of your yard. If you have a larger yard, you should use a tow-behind or machine lawn aerator. If you have a smaller yard or only need to aerate a small section, a manual lawn aerator could be more effective.
Aerator size
When it comes to size, the most important things are:
- Spike or tine quantity, length and width
- Handle length for manual aerators
With some aerators, such as tow-behind models, the width also matters as it can affect how much of the yard gets aerated at once. Consider the size of your yard and project when choosing one. With manual options, also take into account your physical strength to make sure you can effectively use it without injury.
Materials
Most aerators for the lawn consist of metal or sturdy plastic. These materials are made to be resistant to corrosion, rust, breakage and other types of damage. They’re also moisture-resistant.
Extra features
Certain lawn aerators, such as tow-behind models, come with additional features that manual ones don’t have. This includes:
- Tray to carry additional weight and let the tool penetrate the earth more easily.
- Sturdy wheels that make maneuvering them around the yard convenient.
- Hitch to connect the aerator to a riding lawnmower or a similar machine.
How much you can expect to spend on a lawn aerator
The cost primarily depends on the type of aerator. A simple manual tool can cost $10-$40, while a tow-behind aerator ranges from around $100-$400.
Lawn aerators FAQ
When is the best time to aerate a yard?
A. If you have warm-season grasses, aerate the yard in late spring. If you have cool-season grasses, aerate at the beginning of spring. Also, start loosening up compacted soil when you see puddles forming or if there are dead patches in the yard.
Can aerating or dethatching stress out the lawn?
A. If you aerate or dethatch a yard too often, it could stress out the grass. With thatch, for instance, a small layer can provide nutrients to the grass and protect it from extreme weather conditions. So, it’s not a good idea to remove all of it. If you aerate too much, it could cause drainage problems due to the excessive holes in the soil.

Travel news: Space balloons, floating hotels and supersonic jets
By Maureen O’Hare, CNN
This week in travel, we look at innovative new transport concepts, the reopening of Thailand’s most famous beach, and flight attendants speak out about the airport chaos gripping Europe and America.
Blue sky thinking
Someone warn the Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff: If NASA has its way, booms might soon no longer shake the room.
The agency is working on Quiet SuperSonic Technology to reduce the explosion-like bang traditionally produced when planes break the sound barrier, meaning that crafts like its X-59 supersonic jet will be able to fly over land — something that’s prohibited by regulations because of the noise nuisance.
Other ambitious projects in the works include Spaceship Neptune, the “world’s first carbon-neutral spaceship,” according to its makers Space Perspective. They plan to start taking passengers on flights to the edge of space by 2024, floating aloft in a pressurized ball dangling from a giant, high-tech helium balloon. Take a look here.
Then there’s the video of an enormous nuclear-powered flying hotel that has been doing the rounds online. Don’t try booking a suite just yet, though — it might just breach the laws of physics.
This crazy travel summer
So first, the good news. New Zealand, Samoa and Brunei have all reopened their borders, and the Chinese gambling hub of Macao has eased its Covid restrictions. Malaysia and the Caribbean island of Martinique have also lifted all their Covid-related travel restrictions.
However, as the summer of travel chaos continues in Europe and the States, London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schiphol have announced more curbs to air traffic and the Covid risk level is up in a number of destinations, including Romania and Moldova.
Flight attendants have been speaking out on the “unsustainable and shambolic” summer air travel situation.
Spotlight on Asia
Cannabis cafes are popping up across Bangkok after the plant was decriminalized in Thailand in June. The crowds are flooding in, but not everybody’s happy with the new outlets.
Also a popular spot with backpackers, Thailand’s Maya Bay was made famous by Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2000 movie “The Beach.” Visitors were unwittingly doing huge damage to the bay’s coral reef, and it was closed for four years for a massive rehabilitation project. Now it’s open to beach-lovers once again.
Japan reopened to international tourism in June, but in its first month of open borders, only 1,500 leisure tourists showed up. Why are visitors so hesitant to come back?
Keeping cool in Abu Dhabi
Countries around the world have been baking in extreme summer temperatures, but some cities are more successful at handling heat than others. Temperatures in Abu Dhabi can climb to more than 120 F (over 50 C), and the city is still making use of an ancient Arabic architectural cooling technique — with a modern twist.
And in the emirate’s Jubail Mangrove Park, a forest of the resilient plants is thriving in the intensely salty waters of the world’s hottest sea. It’s both a serene wildlife habitat and an offer of hope in an era of climate crisis.
And while Abu Dhabi might be known for its scorching temperatures, last year it was the first destination in the Middle East and Asia to be declared an official “Bike City” by Union Cycliste Internationale, sport cycling’s governing body. There’s been huge investment in an exhilarating network of cycling circuits — although the best time for riding is before sunrise or after sundown.
Italian dream home
A Maryland couple bought an abandoned Italian house for one euro and transformed it into their European dream home — complete with an elevator. Here’s how they did it.
In case you missed it
A passenger was fined $1,874 for two undeclared McMuffins and a ham croissant.
After our warning last week on how to avoid a shark attack, a snorkeler was bitten in the English county of Cornwall.
Now read our tips on surviving a rattlesnake bite.
Imagine, as a 1980s teen on vacation in London, having an outfit so fly you’re asked to be an extra in your favorite pop star’s music video.
Now imagine that pop star’s David Bowie. That’s what happened to Jersey boy Brad Miele.
Fake it till you make it
If you want a sun-kissed glow all year round (and without the skin damage that comes with sunbathing), then you need a good self-tanner. Our partners at CNN Underscored, a product reviews and recommendations guide owned by CNN, have rounded up 15 of the best self-tanning products on the market, according to experts.

Barcelona kick off their new league campaign against Rayo Vallecano on August 13 but have still not registered any of their summer signings ahead of the season opener.
The Catalan giants have spent big ahead of the new campaign despite announcing debts of €1.35 billion (£1.16bn/$1.42bn) in 2021.
Barca have funded the transfers by selling off a percentage of the club's television rights and a 25 per cent stake in Barca Studios but will only be able to register their new signings if they can comply with La Liga's financial fair play criteria.
Which players are Barcelona waiting to register?
It's been a busy transfer window at the Camp Nou with the Catalans spending big on striker Robert Lewandowski, who has arrived from Bayern Munich for a fee of €50 million (£42m/$51m).
Brazilian winger Raphinha has also joined from Leeds United for an initial fee of €59m (£50m/$59m), while Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde has become the club's latest signing in a €60m deal.
Take your pick: Ronaldo or Lewandowski?

Barcelona are also waiting to register Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie, who have also moved to the Camp Nou this summer on free transfers.
Why can't Barcelona register their new signings?
Barcelona have used 'economic levers' to raise funds for their summer spending spree.
The Catalans sold 10 per cent of their Liga television rights to global investment firm Sixth Street Partners and then sold a further 15 per cent to bring in another €315m (£268m/$320m).
The club have also since confirmed the sale of 25 per cent of Barca Studios for €100m (£84m/$102m) to socios.com but will need to activate a fourth lever to register all of their new signings.
Barca can sell off the remaining 24.5% of Barca Studios which would bring in another €100m.
Will Barcelona's new signings play in their first game vs Rayo Vallecano?
The clock is ticking if Barcelona are to have their new signings available for the visit of Rayo Vallecano, although president Joan Laporta is confident they will find a way to have their new players available.
"We have done the job well and we believe we meet all the requirements. The documentation is all submitted and we are waiting for the response from La Liga," he said.
"There may be some disparity, but we understand that there will be no problems because we have complied with everything and the players will be able to register. If not, we are prepared to apply the fourth lever and we will do so."
Are other Liga clubs having problems registering players?
Barcelona are not the only Liga club enduring difficulties registering players ahead of the new campaign.
A total of 90 players have been signed by Spanish top-flight clubs during the transfer window but so far only 34 have been registered.
Real Betis are still waiting to register new arrivals Willian Jose, Luis Henrique, and Luiz Felipe and may have to follow in Barca's footsteps by activating a 'lever'.
Almeria are also having problems and have not registered Pozo, Babic, Gui Guedes, Houboulang Mendes, Arnau Sola, Marko or Kaiky Fernandes.
Elche, Sevilla Rayo, Villarreal and Real Valladolid are also having issues ahead of the new campaign. | https://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/barcelona-registered-lewandowski-raphinha-new-signings-la/blt08a7ee38e437d690 | 2022-08-06T09:10:06Z | https://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/barcelona-registered-lewandowski-raphinha-new-signings-la/blt08a7ee38e437d690 | false |
Editor's note: The Advocate is counting down the days to LSU's Sept. 4 season opener against Florida State with excerpts from the book "LSU By the Numbers." Saturday marks 29 days until kickoff, so we're looking back at the Tigers' greatest No. 29, Mike Williams:
29 Mike Williams
CB/S, 1972-74
All-American 1974
All-SEC 1972, ’73, ‘74
It would not be overstating things to label Mike Williams’ LSU career as “historic.”
One of the first two players to break the LSU football color barrier when he signed with the Tigers in 1971 (running back Lora Hinton who signed that year is credited as being the first), in 1974 Williams went on to become LSU’s first African American player to earn All-American status.
Born in 1953 in New Orleans, Williams was a starter from his very first varsity game in 1972 (freshmen were not eligible to play then) when he arrived from Covington High School. As a sophomore, Williams recorded career-best 66 tackles and four interceptions.
“He is an extremely coachable and dedicated young man,” then LSU assistant coach Don “Scooter” Purvis said. “As a freshman he showed reaction quickness as good as any back I’ve seen, including (All-American Tommy) Casanova.”
A three-time All-SEC choice, Williams recorded 50 tackles and three interceptions in 1973, prompting Advocate sportswriter Joe Planas to write that Williams “plays the corner like he owns the whole block.” For his senior season, Williams switched from cornerback to safety, recording 63 tackles with two fumble recoveries.
After his playing career at LSU ended, Williams was selected with the 22nd overall pick in the 1975 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers. Again returning to cornerback, Williams started over 100 games with the Chargers over the next eight seasons before finishing his pro career in 1983 with the Los Angeles Rams.
“He’s as good at covering passes as anyone I’ve ever seen,” then Chargers coach Tommy Prothro said, “and he is tough.”
A tough, history-making player.

Cost of living: Families in NI 'should have more choice' on school uniforms
- Published
Families should be given more choice over where to buy children's school uniforms, a campaigner has said.
Some schools require pupils to wear uniforms with branding which means generic items that may be less expensive cannot be used.
Ex-teacher and uniform campaigner Deirdre McCausland said uniforms can often only be found at a single supplier.
The Department of Education is reviewing criteria for uniform grants.
It previously spoke of a "huge discrepancy" between the grant available to NI families and other parts of the UK.
Some organisations have called for a cap on the maximum price for a school uniform and PE kit.
The cost of uniforms is under scrutiny this year due to the cost-of-living crisis.
Northern Ireland's commissioner for children and young people has also described school sportswear prices as "scandalous".
Ms McCausland, who previously taught in England, said the uniform situation in Northern Ireland was unique in the UK.
She has a son in primary school and a daughter in secondary school.
"You can get a generic uniform and get the emblem sewn on [in England] but over here everything is very specific," she said.
She said uniform options in Northern Ireland were often attached to a sports label.
"There's not an awful lot of competition in a lot of places which means they can set the bar very high," she said.
"During the pandemic my son's PE top went from £5 to £17.99 overnight because it has a sports logo on it, I don't agree with that.
"I don't think it makes children perform any better. The schools need to strip everything back."
Added cost
Ms McCausland said specific colours and certain materials for uniforms, particularly in grammar school, could create an added cost.
A recent survey carried out by the Irish League of Credit Unions, in which 564 parents of school children across Northern Ireland were surveyed, found that the cost of living crisis had an impact on funding back to school costs.
In this survey, there was an increase in parents saying they will deny their children extra-curricular activities because they can't afford them.
This doubled from 38% to 74% this year.
Half of the people surveyed, 49%, said they would sacrifice the family holiday to help cover the costs of back to school, up from 33% in 2021.
Parents can apply for the uniform grant in Northern Ireland if they are in receipt of means tested benefits such as universal credit.
The uniform grant available to primary school children is £42.90.
The grant for children under 15 is £61.20 for a uniform and £26.40 towards a PE kit.
Those over 15 can receive £67.20 towards a uniform and £26.40 towards a PE kit.
Sacrifices
Stephanie Hill, is a single mother working full time and her two children are in primary school.
She is not eligible to receive the uniform grant because she is just over the threshold.
Last year, her children's primary school introduced branded uniform jumpers and cardigans.
She said the cost of one cardigan now equates to a three pack of generic cardigans she was able to purchase previously.
For each of her children's uniforms, she would spend around £100 each.
She said she has had to make sacrifices because of the cost.
"Over the summer, I really had to budget in the extra money to be able to provide their uniforms and maybe it has sort of taken away like a day out with them over the summer so I could get the uniform in and especially when they are off school you don't want to take that away from them.
"You are not getting any other support, and with £200 out of my budget, that is already extremely tight on money."
Ms Hill said the uniform grant should be either available to all families regardless of their household earnings or the criteria should be widened so more people could access it.
Uniform exchanges are helping some parents to keep costs down.
Omagh Uniform Exchange has helped around 2,000 families over the last three years.
Cost of living crisis
Founder Cathy McNamee said she was expecting "huge demand" for the service ahead of their opening on Monday.
"The cost of living crisis seems to have no regard for class whatsoever," she said.
"We have had people who have owned their own business and lost their business and been in a situation where they have not been able to get their children ready for going back to school.
"But equally so, we do get a lot of people who are recycling, they are using that 1950s spirit of mend and make do and it's helping everyone's budget."
A Department of Education spokesperson said the education minister understood the challenges families were having in relation to the cost of living, including the pressures associated with school uniform costs.
They said a review was under way on free school meals and uniform grants in Northern Ireland.
The review will consider the rates of uniform grants available, the criteria determining who can access the grants and the potential role of legislation in relation to the costs of uniforms.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip were exchanging fire Saturday in the worst bout of cross-border violence since an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas last year.
Israeli airstrikes have killed 11 people, including a senior commander from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an Iran-backed militant group, who was slain in a targeted attack.
That came following the arrest this week of another senior Islamic Jihad leader in the West Bank in what’s been a monthslong Israeli operation to round up Palestinians suspected of attacks.
Militants have fired dozens of rockets at Israeli cities and towns, disrupting life for tens of thousands of people.
Here’s a look at the latest round of violence:
IN HAMAS’ SHADOW
Islamic Jihad is the smaller of the two main Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip, and is vastly outnumbered by the ruling Hamas group. But it enjoys direct financial and military backing from Iran, and has become the driving force in engaging in rocket attacks and other confrontations with Israel.
Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007 from the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority, is often limited in its ability to act because it bears responsibility for running day-to-day affairs of the impoverished territory. Islamic Jihad has no such duties and has emerged as the more militant faction, occasionally even undermining Hamas’ authority.
The group was founded in 1981 with the aim of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and all of what is now Israel. It is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, European Union and other governments. Like Hamas, Islamic Jihad is sworn to Israel’s destruction.
THE IRANIAN CONNECTION
Israel’s archenemy Iran supplies Islamic Jihad with training, expertise and money, but most of the group’s weapons are locally produced. In recent years, it has developed an arsenal equal to that of Hamas, with longer-range rockets capable of striking central Israel’s Tel Aviv metropolitan area. Air raid sirens went off in the suburbs just south of Tel Aviv on Friday, although no rockets appear to have hit the area.
Although its base is Gaza, Islamic Jihad also has leadership in Beirut and Damascus, where it maintains close ties with Iranian officials.
Ziad al-Nakhalah, the group’s top leader, was in Tehran meeting Iranian officials when Israel began its operation in Gaza on Friday.
TARGETING COMMANDERS
This isn’t the first time Israel has killed Islamic Jihad leaders in Gaza. The commander it killed Friday, Taiseer al-Jabari, replaced Bahaa Abu el-Atta who was slain by Israel in a 2019 strike. His death had been the first high-profile assassination of an Islamic Jihad figure by Israel since the 2014 war in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Jabari, 50, was a member of Islamic Jihad’s “military council,” the group’s decision-making body in Gaza. He was in charge of the Islamic Jihad militant activities in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip during the 2021 war. Israel said he was preparing to launch an anti-tank missile attack against Israel.
His death came on the heels of the arrest by Israel of a senior Islamic Jihad commander in the West Bank earlier this week. Bassam al-Saadi, 62, is a senior Islamic Jihad official in the northern West Bank. According to Israeli media, al-Saadi was working to deepen the group’s reach in the West Bank and expand its capabilities.
Al-Saadi spent a total of 15 years over several stints in Israeli jails for being an active Islamic Jihad member. Israel killed two of his sons who were also Islamic Jihad militants in separate incidents in 2002, and destroyed his home during a fierce battle in the West Bank city of Jenin the same year.
“Once you will hit the commanders it will affect immediately all the organization,” said Zvika Haimovich, the former head of the Israeli military’s air defense force.
“It immediately creates a big mess in the Jihad.”
A DELICATE BALANCE
Since seizing power in 2007, Hamas has fought four wars with Israel, often with support from Islamic Jihad fighters. Aside from a flare-up earlier this year, the border has largely been quiet since last year’s 11-day war and Hamas appears to be staying on the sidelines of this current conflagration, which might keep it from spilling over into all-out war.
Islamic Jihad militants have challenged Hamas by firing rockets, often without claiming responsibility, to raise its profile among Palestinians while Hamas maintains the cease-fire. Israel holds Hamas responsible for all rocket fire coming from Gaza.
Hamas must walk a tightrope between restraining Islamic Jihad’s fire at Israel while avoiding the ire of Palestinians if it cracks down on the group. Like in past flare-ups, Hamas will have the final say in how long — and how violent — this round of fighting will last.
CARETAKER LEADER
The current fighting comes as Israel is mired in a protracted political crisis that is sending voters to the polls for the fifth time in less than four years in the fall.
Caretaker leader Yair Lapid took over earlier this summer after the ideologically diverse government he helped form collapsed, triggering the new elections.
Lapid, a centrist former TV host and author, lacks the security background many Israelis see as essential for their leadership. His political fortunes could rest on the current fighting, either gaining a boost if he can portray himself as a capable leader or take a hit from a lengthy operation as Israelis try to enjoy the last weeks of summer.
Lapid hopes to edge out former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a security hawk who is on trial for corruption charges, in the upcoming vote.

Donald Trump's ongoing legal and political issues might be too much baggage for some conservative voters.
During the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas this week, some attendees said all the controversy following Trump could be a liability as they weigh who could possibly run against President Joe Biden in 2024.
On Saturday, Trump is slated to close out CPAC Texas – a part of the long-running convention for conservative Republicans that has fully embraced Trumpism in the past few years. Ahead of his closing remarks, some voters said they are still in Trump's corner, but they have some concerns about him running for a second term.
George Breen, who traveled from Pennsylvania, was selling 'Stop the Steal' themed board games called 'Swing State Steal' at the convention. He says he's a staunch conservative who voted for Trump in 2020 and says he appreciates everything Trump did as president. But, Breen says, he thinks it is time for someone else to carry on what Trump started.
"I think he tapped into something in the American psyche that hadn't been tapped into by either party, but he's a problematic character," Breen says. "He's a difficult person... there's too much petty stuff. He's too disruptive."
Hannah Blackburn with Students for Life, an anti-abortion rights group that works with college students, says she thinks Trump's media coverage is mostly to blame for this image.
"I see a lot of younger people who don't have a lot of respect for Trump, because of the way he carries himself," she says. "But the way he carries himself is what we see in the media. It's easy to make people seem evil when all you do is ... cut the good parts and only show the bad parts."
There are many conservatives who think Trump is still the Republican Party's best shot at taking back the White House, though. Catherine White from Grand Prairie, Texas, says Trump has weathered bad press before.
"Most of the baggage, he has already fought through it," she says. "He has taken a beating and he still comes out on top."
Polling shows that some Republican voters are open to voting for someone other than Trump in 2024. According to a New York Times/Siena College poll from July, about half of Republicans polled would back another candidate. However, Trump by far has the most support of any single candidate among these voters at 49%. Florida Gov. Ron Desantis was second, but garnered only about half of Trump's level of support at 25%.
Cassiopeia Fletcher from Nebraska says she is torn about Trump running for president again.
"There are some days where I think that would be great and other days where I think it is time to move on," she says.
At this point, Fletcher says it depends on who is running. Her preference so far: Desantis.
"He has all of the bulldog of Donald Trump," she says. "Without the offensiveness."
This summer, former members of the Trump White House have been testifying before Congress about Trump's efforts to discredit the 2020 election, which culminated in an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Former White House staff told lawmakers that Trump was key in pushing a false narrative to the American people that the 2020 election was stolen from him, and even wanted to march on the Capitol along with supporters who he knew were armed. It's still an open question whether the Department of Justice will charge Trump for his effort to overturn the election.
Another open question: whether Trump will announce his candidacy before or after midterm elections this fall.
Blackburn says she is torn about whether conservatives should throw their entire weight behind Trump or if they should back another candidate, particularly Ron Desantis. Florida's Republican governor isn't making an appearance at CPAC Texas, but was mentioned often by CPAC attendees as a possible alternative to Trump.
"It's a tough one," she says. "I have a lot of respect for both of them."

After weeks of negotiations to revive the core of their election-year agenda, Senate Democrats appear to be on the brink of passing a spending bill which would attempt to tackle climate change, the high cost of prescription drugs and lower the deficit by roughly $300 billion.
Three weeks ago, the bill was all but dead when Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., withheld his support, citing concerns about adding to historically high inflation.
But just last week, he and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced an agreement, much to the surprise of others in the Senate, who will begin debating the legislation on Saturday afternoon.
The legislation is a significant step forward for President Biden's domestic agenda.
"This bill is a gamechanger for working families and our economy," Biden said at an event at the White House Friday. "I look forward to the Senate taking up this legislation and passing it as soon as possible."
The bill is getting passed through budget reconciliation, which means each section of the bill needs to be reviewed by the Senate parliamentarian to make sure it is actually legislation that will primarily impact the budget. This review process is often referred to as the "Byrd Bath," named after the late West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd.
The Inflation Reduction Act is still going through the Byrd Bath. Schumer said Friday that the parliamentarian had the whole day to review the bill, and he's hoping to introduce it on the floor Saturday afternoon.
Democrats appear to have all 50 votes in their conference after Sinema agreement
Late Thursday night, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema said she would "move forward" with the legislation; she was the last holdout on the bill and her support essentially means the Senate has all 50 Democratic votes needed to pass the bill.
To get on board, Sinema wanted the section of the bill that narrowed the carried interest tax loophole to be removed. The measure impacts how private equity is taxed and Democrats say it would have brought in $14 billion.
What Sinema wanted to add, though, brings in more revenue. It's a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks — Schumer said Friday he and progressive Democrats were excited about that aspect of the bill, which he says brings in roughly $74 billion.
"What we added excites me and I think it excites all Democrats and particularly progressives," Schumer said at a press conference Friday. "I hate stock buybacks. I think they're one of the most self-serving things that corporate America does."
Also added in is about $4 billion in drought resiliency put forward by Senators Catherine Cortez-Masto, D-Nev., Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., and Michael Bennet, D-Colo. Sinema had also called for this addition in the bill.
There is still criticism of the bill coming from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has argued the legislation doesn't do enough for working class Americans by not increasing the minimum wage, making child care more affordable or tackling the student debt crisis.
He took to the Senate floor Wednesday and called it the "so-called" Inflation Reduction Act.
"As currently written, this is an extremely modest piece of legislation that does virtually nothing to address the enormous crises that working families all across this country are facing today," he said.
He added that he plans to bring up his concerns during the amendment process on the floor over the weekend, but a scenario in which Sanders' concerns prevent him from voting for the bill altogether is highly unlikely.
What could be another hurdle for the bill is opposition from progressives in the House, who are set to return to consider the legislation late next week.
The big mystery is when a final vote will come
While Senators wait for the Senate parliamentarian to finish her analysis of the bill, both sides are gearing up for as many as 20 hours of debate, split evenly between the two parties, that kick off once the bill is introduced by Schumer.
Democrats are likely to yield back most of their time. And some reports show Republicans might as well, so it could be a much shorter process than expected. If that turns out to be the case, the "vote-a-rama" — when Senators are allowed to introduce an unlimited number of amendments to the bill — could begin as soon as Saturday evening.
Also allowed during vote-a-rama is a call to have the entire text of the bill, which is roughly 700 pages, read aloud.
It caps off a busy — and successful — stretch for Biden's domestic agenda
In the past few weeks, the Senate has voted on a bill to expand helth services for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, a semiconductor bill, and a measure to allow Finland and Sweden into NATO — and all of those votes have been bipartisan.
Schumer, though, has made it clear that Senate Democrats will also go it alone if they have to, which is what they're doing with this bill. No Republican will vote for the legislation, but with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Harris, Democrats can still cinch a victory.
It caps off a busy week on Capitol Hill and also sets up a busy week for the president, who already has a slew of bills to sign into law next week.

The mysterious companies behind Costco’s Kirkland Signature and Trader Joe’s O’s
By Nathaniel Meyersohn, CNN Business
Kirkland Signature. Two-Buck Chuck. Simple Truth. Cat & Jack. Great Value. Amazon Basics. Store brands have never been more popular.
They have become forces in their own right and make up around 21% of sales in the $1.7 trillion US grocery industry, according to IRI.
As prices surge, store brands — also known as private labels, white labels or generic brands — have become an even more attractive option for inflation-fatigued shoppers who are looking to switch from pricier name brands. Store brands can be anywhere from 10% to 50% cheaper.
But the origins of store brands remain largely secretive.
Retailers aren’t typically forthcoming about the companies that make their brands. And manufacturers, likewise, have little incentive to reveal that they’re creating similar products to their name brands under a different label sold on the cheap.
Many leading national brand manufacturers create private labels for multiple retailers. In the late 1990s more than half of brand manufacturers were estimated to make private goods as well.
Although store brands ostensibly compete with manufacturers’ national brands, manufacturers often have excess capacity on their production lines. To generate additional profit, some will use that extra capacity to make private labels.
Other brand manufacturers will produce private labels as an incentive for retailers, hoping they’ll be rewarded with better shelf space and placement for their own national labels.
“Most manufacturers aren’t open about it,” said Jan-Benedict E.M. Steenkamp, a marketing professor at the University of North Carolina who studies private labels and branding. “Manufacturers don’t want it to be known because it undermines the power of their own brands.”
But there are some exceptions. Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies diapers, produces Kirkland Signature diapers for Costco and Duracell produces Kirkland Signature batteries, Costco executives have said.
Georgia-Pacific, the maker of Brawny and Dixie, also produces store brands. So does Henkel, the manufacturer of Purex and Dial.
Eight O’Clock Coffee and Kenmore
Store labels have been around since the early days of retail and the emergence of consumer brands in the 19th century.
Macy’s sold stoneware whiskey jugs under its own name. Customers could bring back the jugs for refills, according to Christopher Durham, the president of the Velocity Institute, a trade association for private brands.
Montgomery Ward developed its own line of aspirin in wooden containers, while the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. (aka A&P) sold branded spices with the slogan “Take the Grandmother’s Advice, Use A&P Spices.” A&P later developed Eight O’Clock Coffee, one of the most famous private labels of the period.
Yet no US retailer was more successful developing its own brands than Sears, Roebuck.
In 1925, Sears created the Allstate brand for car tires. A few years later, Sears launched its first Craftsman wrench, according to Durham. Its Kenmore line, which started as a sewing machine brand in 1913 before branching into vacuums and other home appliances, became the leading home appliance brand in the United States.
These private labels were the exception, however.
For most of the 20th century, national brands such as Jell-O, H.J. Heinz, Campbell Soup and Johnson & Johnson had power over stores. These manufacturers flooded the airwaves and newspapers with advertisements extolling the advantages of their products.
Most customers were fiercely loyal to specific brands, not retailers. A store that didn’t carry major labels would likely get crushed, which gave manufacturers immense leverage.
Additionally, many store brands were also considered dull, cheap knockoffs of national brands.
The low point of private label came during the 1970s, Durham said, when stores seeking to cut costs and rolled out generics with basic white backgrounds and black letters identifying the product — beer, soap, cola, beans and other staples.
Shopper loyalty
Retailers make private label brands for a variety of reasons, including to boost profitability and sometimes as a negotiating tool against brands.
Private brands often carry profit margins that are 20% to 40% higher than national brands because stores don’t have to pay the advertising, distribution or other markup costs that are embedded in major brands’ prices.
In the mid-20th century, many retailers started to develop their own labels to claw back bargaining power from dominant suppliers and keep their prices in check. As the US retail industry has consolidated in recent decades, the power dynamic between retailers and suppliers reversed. Now, stores have more leverage to introduce their own labels — whether name brands like it or not.
“Forty years ago, Walmart pissing off P&G would be a risky situation. Now, Walmart is much bigger than P&G,” said Steenkamp, the marketing professor.
Today, stores’ private brand operations are more sophisticated than ever and a much bigger focus for chains.
Stores are likelier these days to develop a distinctive private brand or product to stand out against competitors and create shopper loyalty, said Krishnakumar Davey, the president of client engagement at IRI.
Costco, for example, will decide to make a Kirkland Signature product because a leading brand won’t sell to the retailer. Or Costco believes the name brand’s prices have gotten too high and it can make its own similar-quality product and sell it for 20% less.
Costco hasn’t lost any relationships with suppliers by launching its own Kirkland products, but those brands are not usually pleased when Costco introduces one, company CFO Richard Galanti said in an interview earlier this year.
Retailers have been sued for creating products that too closely resemble national brands. The owner of golf ball-brand Titleist sued Costco for patent infringement, while Williams-Sonoma sued Amazon for selling “knockoffs” under its own brand. Both cases were settled.
The US House Judiciary Committee and other lawmakers and regulators around the world have investigated whether Amazon uses data from sellers to create its own brands and unlawfully favors its own brands on its website.
Amazon has said it doesn’t use the data from individual third-party sellers to inform the development of its own private brands and does not favor its own products on the site.
Most stores start small with their own brands. Grocers, for example, will often first introduce a shelf-stable product like pasta, flour, sugar or race that’s easier to make and where brand loyalty within the category isn’t strong.
“You don’t start with the most difficult things,” Steenkamp said. “As stores build more experience and success, then they enter new categories.”
How to find out who makes store brands
So how do you tell who’s behind your favorite store brands?
Product recalls are often the most revealing way to find out which brand manufacturers are behind specific private labels.
Last year, for example, Dole recalled fresh salads and vegetables, including private brands for Walmart, Kroger and H-E-B.
J.M. Smucker recalled certain Jif peanut butter products this year, as well as store-branded items it made for Giant Eagle, Wawa and Safeway. Large companies such as Conagra and McCain Foods have recalled products from Trader Joe’s.
Then there are the dedicated private label manufacturers, such as Treehouse Foods, which makes snacks under the labels of supermarkets, big-box chains and other retailers. Nearly one-quarter of the company’s $4.3 billion in sales last year, for example, came from Walmart.
James Walser, who led the launch of Target’s up & up household basics and personal care brand in 2009, said that Target tried to move away from national brand manufacturers during up & up’s development to nimbler suppliers focused solely on making private labels.
Some large retailers also make their own private labels. Kroger, for example, makes about 30% of its own private products.
Perhaps the strangest store brand manufacturers are retailers that make private brands for their…competitors: Safeway-owned Lucerne Foods manufactures private labels for Safeway’s rivals.

Many seniors look to Social Security as an essential, stable source of monthly income. But while Social Security has been around for many decades, the program tends to undergo changes on a yearly basis -- some of which may not be so obvious. Here are a few ways Social Security has evolved since the start of 2022.
1. Benefits went up substantially
Seniors on Social Security don't get stuck with the exact same monthly benefit for the rest of their lives. If that were to happen, they'd struggle financially due to the natural pull of inflation.
People are also reading…
That's why Social Security benefits are subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, the purpose of which is to help ensure that they keep up with inflation. Because inflation soared during the latter part of 2021, Social Security benefits got a 5.9% COLA at the start of 2022 -- the most generous one in decades.
Next year's Social Security COLA won't be announced until October, because it will be calculated based on third-quarter inflation. But since inflation has been rampant this year, seniors are no doubt anticipating an even larger raise for 2023.
2. Seniors lost buying power despite a generous raise
Social Security recipients may have seen their benefits go up 5.9% this year. But the rate of inflation has well outpaced that raise, leaving seniors to lose buying power.
In June, the Consumer Price Index, which measures changes in the cost of goods, rose 9.1% on an annual basis. When we compare that increase to the raise seniors got at the start of the year, that 5.9% boost looks far from impressive.
3. Workers got charged more taxes for Social Security purposes
Social Security gets the bulk of its funding from payroll taxes. But higher earners don't necessarily pay Social Security taxes on all of their earnings.
Each year, there's a wage cap established for Social Security tax purposes. In 2021, it was $142,800, but in 2022, it rose to $147,000. That means higher earners are paying Social Security tax on an additional $4,200 of income this year. And chances are, they'll face an even higher Social Security tax burden next year.
That's not automatically a terrible thing. The reality is that Social Security needs as much payroll tax revenue as it can get to stay afloat. Some lawmakers have even proposed lifting the wage cap altogether so that workers pay Social Security tax on their entire earnings.
While that change is just a proposal and by no means imminent, it puts a modest wage cap increase in a much better light. After all, paying Social Security tax on another $4,000 or $5,000 of earnings is better than paying it on another $100,000 or more.
Keep tabs on Social Security changes
Whether you're currently collecting benefits or have many years in the workforce ahead of you, it's important to stay apprised of Social Security changes. Being informed could help you not only claim benefits strategically, but better plan for your own retirement.
The $18,984 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook
If you're like most Americans, you're a few years (or more) behind on your retirement savings. But a handful of little-known "Social Security secrets" could help ensure a boost in your retirement income. For example: one easy trick could pay you as much as $18,984 more... each year! Once you learn how to maximize your Social Security benefits, we think you could retire confidently with the peace of mind we're all after.

US Singer of 'Jana Gana' fame to perform at I-Day Celebrations in India
New Delhi, Aug 06: African American singer Mary Milben, known for her moving rendition of 'Om Jai Jagadish Hare' and 'Jana Gana Mana', is travelling to India to attend and perform at the celebrations related to the country's 75th anniversary of Independence.
"Following in the footsteps of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and his pilgrimage to India in 1959, I am honoured to represent the United States as a cultural ambassador for the 75th Anniversary celebration of India's Independence," Millben said in a statement ahead of her trip at the invitation of Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).
Millben, 40, is the first American artiste to be invited to India by the ICCR for the Independence Day celebrations. She will be an official guest representing the US, the statement said.

"I am thrilled to finally experience this treasured motherland, celebrate my meaningful relationship with India and Indian communities across the world, and highlight the important democratic alliance between the United States and India during this important observance of India's Independence," Millben said.
"As I prepare for my first trip to India, my heart's sentiments echo Dr King's words, 'to other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim,'" she said.
Honoring the flag honors the country. A special day, for a special land, for a special people.

Accompanied by Priya Samant, co-founder/CEO of NFT global company Abris.io and a strategic advisor on US-India relations, Millben will also perform in India for the first time, making an appearance at the Indiaspora Global Forum to celebrate 75th year of the country's Independence and 10th year of Indiaspora.
Invited by Indiaspora Founder M R Rangaswami, Millben will open the forum by singing the Indian national anthem and then jointly perform with International piano prodigy Lydian Nadhaswaram on the evening of August 10.
Nadhaswaram is a young, musician from Chennai, Tamil Nadu who won 'The World's Best' on CBS and, earning a prize money of USD 1 million.

India was first introduced to Millben's artistry during the 2020 celebration of the country's 74th Independence Day - a virtual performance of India's national anthem. It was followed by her moving performance for the 2020 Diwali observance, including releasing an original and stirring single of 'Om Jai Jagdish Hare'.
Now viewed by millions, music for both performances is by Grammy-nominated composer and Canadian Screen Award nominee Daryl Bennett alongside Hindi language coaching from former Embassy of India (USA) First Cultural Diplomat Dr Moxraj.
A former White House Presidential Appointee to President George W Bush, Millben has performed for three consecutive US presidents -- George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump - as well as international royalty, and world leaders.
In addition to Delhi, she also plans to travel to Lucknow during her India visit. | https://www.oneindia.com/india/us-singer-mary-millben-all-set-to-attend-independence-day-celebrations-in-india-3444291.html | 2022-08-06T10:36:32Z | https://www.oneindia.com/india/us-singer-mary-millben-all-set-to-attend-independence-day-celebrations-in-india-3444291.html | true |
BERLIN (AP) — German prosecutors said they conducted a search on Friday at the home of a man suspected of threatening a doctor whose death shocked neighboring Austria.
The body of Dr. Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, a general practitioner who had reported receiving death threats from opponents of COVID-19 restrictions and vaccinations, was found at her practice in a rural area of northern Austria a week ago. Austrian authorities say she took her own life.
Kellermayr announced in late June that she was closing the practice temporarily after more than seven months of receiving death threats. She said she had spent over 100,000 euros ($102,000) on security.
In mid-July, Kellermayr said was closing the practice permanently because she couldn’t “offer any perspective for whether or when it will be possible for us to work under ‘normal’ circumstances.” Her death shocked Austrian political leaders, while local authorities’ handling of the threats has drawn critical scrutiny.
Prosecutors in Munich who investigate extremism took over an investigation of a suspect in Germany this week. On Friday, they said police had raided the home of a 59-year-old from the Starnberg area, near the Bavarian capital, who is suspected of threatening the doctor on social media.
One tweet said that “we are watching you and we will bring such creatures before the people’s tribunals to be set up in the future,” they said. The suspect was cooperative during Friday’s raid and investigators are evaluating material that they seized, prosecutors said.
The lead came from prosecutors in Wels, Austria. They had dropped an investigation of their own on the grounds that the suspect and the alleged crime were in Germany and German authorities were responsible for the case, but said Friday they have reopened it, the Austria Press Agency reported.
They said the doctor’s death put the case back in their jurisdiction and they were working with German prosecutors. | https://www.wivb.com/news/health-news/german-police-raid-home-over-threats-made-to-austrian-doctor/ | 2022-08-06T10:39:56Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/health-news/german-police-raid-home-over-threats-made-to-austrian-doctor/ | true |

Which Razer mice are best?
Next to a sturdy keyboard, a good-quality mouse can make all the difference in PC video games. From customizable weights and buttons to brightly colored trimmings and software, it’s critical that you find the right balance.
Razer has been in the computer peripheral industry since 1998 and knows how important the correct tools can be to strike at your online enemies. That’s why its logo resembles the African boomslang, and most of its products are named after predatory or venomous animals.
For example, its mice are named after snakes such as the adder, viper and mamba, while Razer keyboards take on arachnid names and console accessories take on feline names. But before settling on the perfect predatory mouse, there are a few things to consider.
Wired vs. wireless
A mouse connects to a device through one of two methods, each better suited for different activities.
Wired mouse: This type of connection is most often used by gamers as there is no input lag, it doesn’t need to be charged and often has a faster response time. Other than the constraints of the cable, there aren’t many drawbacks as it’s perfect for general office work and browsing, too.
Wireless mouse: A mouse without any wires attached is perfect for people who work from different locations. It’s easy to pick up and switch off before placing it in your bag. However, a wireless mouse must be charged and the sensitivity isn’t as accurate as a wired mouse. It’s used infrequently by gamers, as there is the possibility of losing a Bluetooth connection or some input lag.
Programmable buttons
A mouse’s design has come a long way since the two-button varieties from 20 or 30 years ago. Not only do modern computer peripherals have more buttons, but these as often customizable. While the standard left, right and middle buttons function the same way, some Razer models have additional buttons on either side.
They don’t have a practical application in office work or browsing the internet, but they are hugely convenient when playing fast-paced games. The buttons are programmed to activate a sequence of keyboard presses that would otherwise be difficult for the gamer.
For example, when playing a massive online battle arena title, the character has a variety of abilities and actions. Where it would normally take three buttons (and looking down at the keyboard) to achieve, this can be done with a single button without looking away.
Some Razer mice go a step further, by letting you swap out the entire additional button panel. It clicks out easily, giving you an on-the-fly choice to add 12, seven or two extra buttons.
Dots per inch
It’s easy to assume that a mouse is just a mouse, and they all work the same. While that is largely true, there are subtle differences that can have a huge impact on gaming. One of these metrics is the sensitivity, measured and indicated as dots per inch.
DPI determines how far (or how many pixels) the mouse cursor will travel across the screen when your hand moves the physical mouse one inch. For example, if the mouse has a maximum DPI of 400, it means the cursor will travel 400 pixels for every inch moved.
Essentially, it is a fancy term for the mouse’s sensitivity. The higher the DPI is, the more susceptible the cursor is to move. A lower DPI makes for a less sensitive mouse. There is no right or wrong DPI, as cursor travel time mostly comes down to personal preference. But with that said, almost all mice are capable of variable DPI, which is when the maximum DPI is the most important.
Weighted for comfort
Everybody’s mouse grip is different, and sometimes a comfortable mouse for one person will feel too light or too heavy for others. That is where additional weights come in handy. Some of the most popular mice weigh between 3.1 ounces and 4.2 ounces, but these small metal pieces can add increments of 0.10 ounces, 0.17 ounces and 0.15 ounces. There are usually two pieces per increment so that you can get a perfect balance.
A lighter mouse is easier to move but not always as accurate. On the other hand, a weighted mouse requires more “effort” to operate but has excellent precision.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis heeded the call of an influential Shiite cleric to gather in a show of strength for a mass prayer in the heart of Baghdad’s government zone on Friday. The gathering took place amid an escalating political crisis that has put the country’s capital on edge.
The powerful cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, had called on his followers from across Iraq to come to pray inside Baghdad’s Green Zone — a heavily fortified area in the heart of the city that houses government buildings and foreign embassies. They arrived and stood outside in the scorching summer heat, with temperatures reaching 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit).
Meanwhile, in the holy southern city of Najaf, the head of Iraq’s U.N. mission, Jeannine Hennis-Plasschaert, met with al-Sadr Friday. She told reporters afterward that they discussed the importance of finding a solution to the political crisis.
Friday’s mass prayer was the latest display of strength by the cleric, whose political power derives from his strong grassroots support base. The crowds stretched for miles, spilling into the streets outside the square.
Several people fainted after waiting for hours for the prayer to start and were taken to hospital in ambulances.
Al-Sadr has used his large grassroots following as a pressure tactic against his rivals after his party was unable to form a government despite having won the largest number of seats in federal elections last October. He abandoned efforts to form the next government in June.
His followers gathered facing the Victory Arch, a monument erected during Saddam Hussein’s regime to commemorate the Iran-Iraq war and for holding military parades.
Farid Jaafar, 16, arrived from southern Babylon province to show his support for al-Sadr. His transport was paid by al-Sadr’s party. “I love Muqtada,” he said.
Holding the prayer within the highly restrictive zone closed off to most Iraqis points to the cleric’s power and influence.
Last Saturday, thousands of his followers stormed parliament in a bid to derail attempts by al-Sadr’s Shiite rivals to form a government. Around 125 people were injured in the violence, most of them protesters and 25 members of the security forces.
Al-Sadr’s followers camped out inside the parliament until he ordered them, after four days, to withdraw from the assembly building but maintain a sit-in outside. He’s calling for the dissolution of parliament and early elections.
Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi, an ally of al-Sadr, signaled his support for early elections, saying the clerics calls and those of his supporters “can not be neglected.”
“We are in support of moving forward with parliamentary and local elections within an agreed upon time,” he said, in a statement.
Al-Sadr’s Shiite rivals in the Iran-backed Coordination Framework have said they would consider holding early elections in the event of a national consensus.
After Friday’s prayer, many demonstrators returned to the sit-in site outside parliament. | https://phl17.com/news/ap-top-headlines/hundreds-of-thousands-gather-for-mass-prayer-in-baghdad/ | 2022-08-06T10:51:49Z | https://phl17.com/news/ap-top-headlines/hundreds-of-thousands-gather-for-mass-prayer-in-baghdad/ | true |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A San Antonio either Saturday or Sunday, San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin said.
Tatis took batting practice with the Padres at Dodger Stadium on Friday afternoon and then left for Texas. Tatis has been sidelined since having surgery in mid-March on his fractured left wrist, reportedly suffered in an offseason motorcycle accident in his native Dominican Republic.
Although there’s no timetable for his return, starting the rehab assignment is a big step for Tatis and the Padres.
“He didn’t have a spring and hasn’t played in the field yet, so we’ll monitor as we go along,” Melvin said.
Tatis will play shortstop, center field and spend time as the designated hitter.
When Tatis returns, he’ll be in a new-look lineup with newly acquired superstar Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Brandon Drury, all obtained before Tuesday’s trade deadline. San Diego also landed All-Star closer Josh Hader.
Tatis was an All-Star in 2021 and finished third in voting for NL MVP. He batted .282 with an NL-leading 42 home runs and 97 RBIs.

40-YEAR SALUTE: BHS '82 softball team eyes Hall of Fame
(Note: This is the first of a two-part feature.)
1982.
Was it 40 years ago — or just yesterday?
Members of Bartlesville High School’s softball team from ’82 might have a challenge in making the distinction themselves when they step to the podium in October to accept induction into the Bartlesville Athletic Hall of Fame.
1982.
They were so young then, the roster including freshmen to a handful of seniors, all perched on the threshold of adulthood, their full lives waiting in front of them beyond an incomprehensible horizon.
But, on Oct. 23, they will once again celebrate that treasured time of giggles, team chants, gritty focus as if winning the next softball game were the most important thing they could accomplish in life, homework, optimism and angst and joy of the bewildering epoch known as teenagerhood.
The setting will be the Hilton Garden Inn auditorium, where the Bartlesville Sports Commission will induct this year’s class. In addition to the 1982 Lady Bruin squad, other honorees will include Ricky Jackson (posthumously), Jerry Benedict, Erica Derryberry and Terry Hughes.
Leading the softball contingent likely will its head coach Jerome Gibson and assistant Annie Collins. Collins played a pivotal role beyond that of assistant — she had been the head coach the season prior for many of the players at Bartlesville College High.
And, that sets up twist on why the ’82 powerhouse was more than just a exceptional cycle of diamond athletes that converged together at the same time.
Up through the spring of 1982, Bartlesville was split by two high schools — Sooner High on the east side and Col-Hi in the other part of town.
But, the long anticipated merger of the rival institutions took place going into the 1982-83 school year — thus creating what is the modern-day Bartlesville High School.
The 1982 softball team combined players from schools — which a year before had been trying to beat the bejabbers out of each other as opponents.
In fact, Gibson had only been an observer of the rivalry — through the 1981-82 school year he had been the baseball coach.
But, as part of the amalgamation of the two successful softball programs, he was assigned as the head coach.
That turned out to be a wise move — Bartlesville High softball won the state title in 1982 and 1984 and played in the 1983 final.
The 1982 team was something special — 31 wins (seven losses), four tournament championships (Kelley Invitational, Class 5A District, Class 5A Regional and Class 5A State) — and soon to the share the kudos as Bartlesville Athletic Hall of Fame members.
It’s recognition well appreciated by the players and coaches from that team of destiny.
“I really don’t have words to describe it,” said Terese McMillan, a shortstop who was elevated from junior varsity to play with the championship team. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. It brings back the good feelings I had when we won state.”
“It speaks for itself, that they could come together and play as team,” Gibson said. “It was big challenge for them, that they could come together and make it work.”
“All I can tell you is we had good coaches and good parents,” said Don Brisbin, whose daughter Sonya was a freshman of the 1982 team. “The parents got involved in it and all of the dads helped.”
The first task in creating the 1982 destiny hinged on one question — how would girls forced together from rival schools play together under the same banner?

Chinese firm to offer technical skills training to South Sudan citizens
JUBA, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) said that it will provide technical skills training to South Sudan's citizens to manage the country's air traffic management (ATM) system.
The Chinese firm has currently been contracted by the South Sudanese government to construct the ATM with 70 percent of the project completed.
The center station of the ATM system is located around the Juba International Airport. Two other main stations are also being constructed in Wau of Western Bahr el Ghazal and Malakal in Upper Nile, and substations in Raja County in Western Bahr el Ghazal, Kapoeta County in Eastern Equatoria and Bor in Jonglei states.
Duan Fanping, Business Manager for CHEC South Sudan told Xinhua that the firm will train South Sudan citizens to be part of the management of the facility upon completion, adding that the examination has been held in late July by the South Sudanese government. The training program will soon start after that.
Duan said the training will focus on air traffic management, communication, navigation, surveillance control, aviation meteorology, and equipment maintenance.
He said that before the completion of the facility in June 2023, CHEC will also assist to train the experts from Civil Aviation Authority who will provide maintenance services at the facility along with their Chinese counterparts.
"We want to have a long-term relationship with South Sudan, so we not only consider the construction of an ATM, but we also consider the training to support its future maintenance and operations," Duan said in Juba, the capital of South Sudan.
Duan revealed that CHEC is currently in negotiation with the Ministry of Transport to bring in Chinese experts who will train local technicians on the maintenance of the ATM.
The ATM system is a 200 million U.S. dollar concessional loan project to South Sudan, channeled through the Export-Import Bank of China.
The project comprises the construction of the Juba ATM center, new Air Traffic control tower and operation building, surveillance system, navigation system, communication system, and the civil engineering and supporting facilities such as meteorological facilities, calibration flight test, and personnel training.

John Leguizamo is not happy about James Franco's casting as Fidel Castro. Photograph:( Others )
Columbian actor John Leguizamo, known for 'Ice Age' and 'John Wick' franchises, has spoken against James Franco's casting as Fidel Castro, and has accused the film of being another example of "Hollywood excluding us but stealing our narratives as well".
Actor James Franco was recently cast in the role of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in Miguel Bardem's independent film 'Alina of Cuba', based on Castro's titular anti-communist daughter. The casting of a white actor in the role of a Latin American politician has evoked controversy.
Columbian actor John Leguizamo, known for 'Ice Age' and 'John Wick' franchises, has spoken against the casting, and has accused the film of being another example of "Hollywood excluding us but stealing our narratives as well".
He shared a screenshot of an article about the casting on Instagram and captioned it, "How is this still going on? How is Hollywood excluding us but stealing our narratives as well? No more appropriation Hollywood and streamers! Boycott! This F’d up! Plus seriously difficult story to tell without aggrandizement which would b wrong! I don’t got a prob with Franco but he ain’t Latino!"
Ana Villafañe plays the role of titular Alina Fernandez. As per Variety, the film's production is slated to begin on August 15. Alanna de la Rosa, Maria Cecilia Botero, Harding Junior, Sian Chiong and Rafael Ernesto Hernandez make up the supporting cast of 'Alina of Cuba'. Jose Rivera and Nilo Cruz have penned the script.
The film follows Alina, who is Castro's illegitimate daughter. During his life, she was a fierce critic of her biological father. The real Alina incidentally has supported Franco's casting
Fidel Castro, born on August 13, 1926, ruled Cuba as a prime minister from 1959 to 1976 and as president from 1976 to 2008. Throughout his reign he was a major irritant of the US, whose CIA tried to assassinate him multiple times. | https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-john-leguizamo-on-james-francos-casting-as-fidel-castro-how-is-this-still-going-on-504290 | 2022-08-06T11:10:16Z | https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-john-leguizamo-on-james-francos-casting-as-fidel-castro-how-is-this-still-going-on-504290 | true |

The editor of the Easton Free Press was excited. Here it was, October 1, 1836, and the Lehigh Valley was awaiting the arrival of Whig presidential candidate General William Henry Harrison. He was scheduled for rallies and meetings in the Lehigh Valley’s three major population centers: Easton, Bethlehem and Allentown. Carriages were at the ready to carry the leading citizens of all three towns when Harrison arrived at municipal limits.
The Whigs, a still disorganized political faction whose major target was outgoing President Andrew Jackson, had decided to run four candidates that year: Tennessee Senator Hugh White, Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, North Carolina Senator Willie P. Mangum, and Ohio’s General William Henry Harrison. But Harrison was the main draw. It was hoped by running multiple candidates the election would be thrown into the House of Representatives again and a deal would be made among the Whigs to keep a Democrat out of the White House.
The Democrats' candidate was Jackson’s vice president Martin Van Buren. A New York politician, Van Buren had gotten into Jackson’s good graces by using his political organization (a patronage machine known as the Albany Regency with ties to Tammany Hall) to garner votes for Jackson in two elections. But the real issue for the Whigs was Jackson, whose popularity they could not overcome.
The dispute between Henry Clay and Jackson went back to the presidential election of 1824 which was finally decided by a vote in the House of Representatives when Speaker of the House Clay threw his support to fellow contender John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, thus keeping out Jackson. Clay thought Jackson did not have the background and intelligence to be president. “I cannot believe," he wrote in 1828, “that the killing of 2,500 Englishmen at New Orleans qualifies a person for the various, difficult and complicated duties of the chief magistracy.” The reference was to Jackson’s role at the Battle of New Orleans in January of 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Clay was one of the Americans in Europe who negotiated a peace that ended the war on Christmas Eve of 1814. But communications being what they were in the early 19th century, word of the peace did not come until after the battle. The war overall had not been a successful one for America and Jackson’s victory gave the public something to cheer about, making Jackson the Hero of New Orleans. Allentown went so far as to loan a cannon from Bethlehem to celebrate.
Jackson and his followers were furious when Adams named Clay secretary of state, claiming it was a “corrupt bargain.” The election was stolen to keep Jackson out of office, they said. This charge followed Clay and Adams to the 1828 election, which led to Jackson’s victory in what could be called one of the first populist campaigns.
But Jackson was popular and had his two terms as president, defeating Clay when he ran against him in 1832. Many major issues such as Jackson’s abolition of the National Bank (whose role was roughly similar to that of the Federal Reserve today) and the tariff crises were not strong enough to uproot “the hero of New Orleans,” from the White House. But Van Buren was not Jackson and Harrison seemed a good bet. Like Jackson he had fought the Indians on the frontier, and also like Jackson he was from the west.
On that October Saturday, a notice was placed in Easton saying that Harrison would arrive that evening and that he would be escorted into town. The Free Press announced, “a train of three or four coaches drawn by a pair of elegant grays" would escort Harrison and a “committee of invitation” was created to welcome him. They left for New Jersey that evening and at 11:30 p.m. a booming cannon fired from Mount Jefferson, behind where the Easton Public Library is today, announced Harrison’s arrival. Despite the hour, noted the Press, the “public thronged to greet him.” The newspaper was effusive:
“Never since the days of Lafayette (who had visited Easton in 1824) have we witnessed anything as imposing as this reception. The Court House and White’s Hotel were brilliantly illuminated to the roof with elegant colossal transparencies of the General placed in full view. With the roaring of a cannon and the music of a full military band the crowd sent forth a cheer that rent the air with a deafening welcome.”
White’s Hotel was founded in 1807 by William “Chippy” White and was considered “the” place to stay by stagecoach riders. A regular service to New York left from there. Philadelphia guests in that day were known to spend the summers at White’s away from the heat of the big city. Its kitchen was presided over by Mrs. White, who according to traveler Anne Royall was “a big Pennsylvania Dutch Amazon of a woman who could be seen flinging pans in the kitchen like they were a top.”
Harrison spent the night there but was awake early to greet the crowds wanting to see him. He spent the whole Sunday talking to the voters. “The merchant and the farmer vied to hold him by the hand and express their gratification.” After another night at White’s Hotel, Harrison was awake early, leaving at 6 a.m. with his escort for Bethlehem. At the border of Bethlehem they were greeted by leading citizens of the town and, according to the Free Press, a band which swung into “Hail Columbia,” the “Hail to the Chief” of its day, as the public thronged Bethlehem’s streets to get a look at Harrison in his carriage.
Stopping at the Eagle Hotel, now the site of the Hotel Bethlehem, and after several miles of carriage ride in the open-air, Harrison was given a hearty breakfast. Here he met several of the local luminaries from Allentown who would escort him there. Once breakfast was done and greetings with officialdom exchanged it was off to Allentown. The whole way was lined with crowds to greet him as the train of carriages pulled up in front of his hotel. Most probably it was the Arc & Compass at the northeast corner of 7th and Hamilton. It was the hotel that would be occupied by President Van Buren when he stopped in Allentown in 1839.
A place was set up in the hotel to greet the public. This Harrison did for men, women and children. He paid particular attention to the several aging Revolutionary War veterans. A local attorney named Charles Davis gave an address and asked Harrison if he had anything to say. The newspaper did not give Harrison’s words, only describing them as “manly, energetic and fluent.” After two hours Harrison got ready to leave. But he was stopped by a delegation from Pottsville, insisting he stop there first before moving on to Reading. After some discussion Harrison agreed to do just that and left with them. No word how the delegation from Reading which was to greet Harrison next thought about this.
The Easton editor had this to say in conclusion:
“From all we have seen and heard from the wide, universally favorable impression the Hero of the Thames and Tippecanoe has made everywhere, from the soul felt warmth and enthusiasm everywhere exhibited and wherever Gen. Harrison has been seen, from every evidence of public feeling in Pennsylvania we are led to the irresistible conclusion that she has spurned the treacherous Van Buren and made choice of this war-worn veteran, the brave defender of the country, the hero, the patriot and statesman, the upright Harrison, the man who she thinks best calculated to maintain the dignity of the States and the integrity of the Constitution.”
Alas 1836 was not Harrison’s year. In Pennsylvania he came close to Van Buren in the popular vote but was soundly beaten in the electoral vote. But the wind was blowing in his direction. As Van Buren was entering the White House, the Panic of 1837 was hitting, largely most historians today believe because of Jackson’s refusal to recharter the Bank of the United States. Thousands of so called “pet banks” folded. And by 1840 the country was in a deep economic depression.
Harrison won big the next time. He had a campaign rally in Ohio that drew 60,000 participants. His campaign was populist as huge amounts of money were poured into it by wealthy donors who wanted to see the Bank of the United States restored. “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too” and “Van Van is a Used Up Man,” were heard across the land. Harrison was sold as a simple farmer who lived in a log cabin and drank hard cider. Van Buren was depicted as a New York esthete who drank fine French wines, perfumed his whiskers and regilded a centerpiece at the White House East Room, spending an outrageous sum of (gasp!) $75.
On election day the popular vote was close, but Harrison crushed Van Buren in the Electoral College. On March 4, 1841, Harrison gave a longer than normal inauguration address and caught cold, most sources say, and died from pneumonia. Others claim he had some sort of internal disease.
Shortly after Harrison died his vice president John Tyler, a Democrat put on the ticket to balance it, turned out to be a strong Democrat who did not re-establish a National Bank. It would be 1848 before a Whig was again elected president. | https://www.wfmz.com/features/historys-headlines/historys-headlines-tippecanoe-and-easton-too/article_ca8d1aac-1514-11ed-8b56-775a77ff2947.html | 2022-08-06T11:18:13Z | https://www.wfmz.com/features/historys-headlines/historys-headlines-tippecanoe-and-easton-too/article_ca8d1aac-1514-11ed-8b56-775a77ff2947.html | true |
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones bulled through the first of several trials against him that could decimate his personal fortune and media empire in his usual way: loud, aggressive and talking about conspiracies both in and out the courtroom.
It was business as usual for the gravelly voiced, barrel-chested Jones. But by courtroom standards, his erratic and, at times, disrespectful behavior was unusual — and potentially complicated for the legal process.
Jones and his media company, Free Speech Systems, were ordered Friday to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages on top of $4.11 million in compensatory damages to the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was killed with 19 other first graders and six educators in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Connecticut. And significantly more could be on the way.
The total damages of nearly $50 million was significantly less than the $150 million in damages Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis were seeking.
Jones faces two more Sandy Hook trials to determine damages later this year: One for parents of a 6-year-old boy in an Austin court, and another for eight families in Connecticut.
Heslin and Lewis have testified that Jones' constant push of false claims that the shooting was a hoax or staged made the last decade a “living hell” of death threats, online abuse and unrelenting trauma inflicted by Jones and his followers.
After years of false hoax claims, Jones admitted under oath that the shooting was “100% real" and even shook hands with the parents.
But the bombastic version of Jones was always lurking under the surface — or even on full display away from the courthouse.
During a break on the first day, he held an impromptu news conference just a few feet from the courtroom doors, declaring the proceedings a “kangaroo court” and “show trial” railroading his fight for free speech under the First Amendment. On the first day, he arrived at the courthouse with “Save the 1st” written on silver tape over his mouth.
When he came to the courthouse, it was always with a security detail of three or four guards. Jones, who wasn't in court for the verdict, often skipped testimony to appear on his daily Infowars program, where the attacks on the judge and jury continued. During one show, Jones said the jury was pulled from a group of people who “don't know what planet they live on."
That clip was shown to the jury. So was a snapshot from his Infowars website showing Judge Maya Guerra Gamble engulfed in flames. She laughed at that.
Jones was only slightly less combative in court. He was the only witness to testify in his defense. Gamble warned Jones' lawyers before it even started that if he tried to turn it into a performance, she would clear the courtroom and shut down the livestream broadcasting the trial to the world.
When Jones arrived for Lewis' testimony, Gamble asked if he was chewing gum, a violation of a strict rule in her courtroom. She'd scolded his attorney Andino Reynal several times already.
That led to a testy exchange. Jones said he wasn't chewing gum. Gamble said she could see his mouth moving. Jones opened wide and leaned over the defense table to show her a gap in his mouth where he'd had a tooth extracted. Jones insisted he was only massaging the hole with his tongue.
“Don't show me,” the judge said.
Some legal experts said they were surprised by Jones' behavior and questioned whether it was a calculated risk to boost his appeal to fans.
“It’s the most bizarre behavior I have ever seen at a trial,” said Barry Covert, a Buffalo, New York, First Amendment lawyer. “In my opinion, Jones is a money-making juggernaut — crazy like a fox,” Covert said. “The bigger the spectacle, the better."
Kevin Goldberg, a First Amendment specialist at the Maryland-based Freedom Forum, said he found it hard to imagine what Jones might be thinking and what benefit he could derive from his behavior.
“I don’t know what it is designed to accomplish other than being on brand for Alex Jones,” said Goldberg. “This seem to be a man who has built his brand … on disrespecting the institutions of government … and this court.”
Defendants at trial are often given some leeway because they have so much at stake — prison in criminal cases and, in Jones’ civil trial, potential financial ruin. Monetary sanctions or even post-trial contempt charges are also a possibility.
Gamble had to be careful how she handled it all, Covert said.
“Jones’ bizarre behavior is putting the judge in a very difficult box,” said Covert. “She doesn’t want to appear to put her finger on the scales of justice.”
Jones skipped Heslin's testimony when he described for the jury holding his dead son in his arms with a "bullet hole through his head.”
Heslin said he wanted to confront Jones face-to-face and called his absence that day “cowardly.” Jones was instead appearing on his daily broadcast.
Jones was in the room when Lewis took the stand, sitting barely 10 feet (3 meters) away as she looked directly at him.
“My son existed. I am not ‘deep state,’ she said of the conspiracy theory of a shadowy network of federal workers running the government.
"I know you know that,” Lewis said.
When Lewis asked Jones if he thought she was an actor, Jones answered, “No,” but was cut off by Gamble, who scolded him for speaking out of turn.
At the end of that day, Jones and the parents shook hands. Lewis even handed Jones a sip of water to help calm a persistent cough Jones said was caused by a torn larynx. Her attorney Wesley Ball quickly stepped in to break it up.
“No," Ball snapped at Jones, “You are NOT doing this.”
Jones was the only witness in his defense. His testimony pushed the rules of the court so often that the plaintiffs openly questioned whether Jones and his attorneys were trying to sabotage the proceedings and force a mistrial. They filed a motion for sanctions against them after Jones claimed he was bankrupt, which attorneys dispute and was off limits in testimony.
At one point, Jones appeared flabbergasted when the family’s attorneys announced that Jones’ legal team had mistakenly sent them two years’ worth of data from his cellphone — a massive data dump they said should have been produced in discovery but wasn’t. They said it proved he’d been receiving texts and emails about Sandy Hook and his media company’s finances that he hadn’t turned over under court orders.
“This is your Perry Mason moment,” Jones snapped.
Plaintiff’s attorney Mark Bankston said Thursday that the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol had requested those materials and that he intended to give it to them.
The Jan. 6 committee first subpoenaed Jones in November, demanding a deposition and documents related to his efforts to spread misinformation about the 2020 election and a rally on the day of the attack.
During the trial, Jones often spoke out of turn, and was cut off when he veered into conspiracies, ranging from the Sept. 11 terror attacks being staged to a fake effort of the United Nations on world depopulation. He continued to call into question some of the biggest events and significant government institutions in American life.
“This," the judge told him, “is not your show.”

Home buyers have had to accept that mortgage rates probably won’t drop back down to record lows anytime soon.
The average 30-year fixed rate was 5.3% as of Thursday, according to the government-backed mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. That’s up from 2.8% a year ago.
Because of higher mortgage rates and still-rising home prices, fewer aspiring buyers can afford to purchase homes. “We are seeing people become a little desperate,” said Jacob Channel, senior economist at the online lending marketplace LendingTree.
Enter the adjustable-rate mortgage. During the first half of 2022, as interest rates climbed, the share of adjustable-rate mortgages nationwide rose from 3% to 10% of loans, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
These loans start at “teaser” interest rates that are typically lower than fixed-rate loans. After a certain number of years, the rate periodically adjusts based on economic conditions.
“People ask about them always when interest rates are rising,” said Phil Giordano, director of Republic Bank’s residential mortgage division, “yet very few in the long run elect to take them.”
He said that in the last 90 days, he has seen the number of adjustable-rate loans in the bank’s pipeline increase about 5%. Republic lends in the tristate area and New York.
Mortgage rates still are at historic lows compared to the double-digit rates of the 1980s, and fixed-rate mortgages remain the most popular choice among home buyers. The 30-year fixed rate is down from about 5.8% in June.
Why do buyers choose an adjustable-rate mortgage?
The average interest rate for a mortgage in which the rate stays the same for five years and then adjusts annually — a common agreement called a 5/1 ARM — was 4.29% on Thursday, according to Freddie Mac. That’s up from a year ago but about a percentage point lower than the 30-year fixed rate.
“It really makes sense why some people might be going toward ARMs, instead,” said Erika Giovanetti, loans expert at U.S. News & World Report.
A percentage point may not seem to be much of a difference, but homeowners potentially could shave hundreds of dollars off their monthly payments.
A lot of borrowers use adjustable-rate mortgages “kind of like a temporary tool,” Giovanetti said. They consider that if they sell their home or refinance their loan within the period when their interest rate is fixed, they won’t have to deal with unknown rates.
If homeowners have a lot of cash or anticipate higher income, they may not be as concerned about the possibility of higher interest payments in the future. And adjustment caps determine how much the interest rate can change.
Why does a resurgence of ARMs make some people nervous?
When Giovanetti first heard that adjustable-rate mortgages were becoming more popular, she said, “it brought me back to the early 2000s housing game.”
“At first I felt quite worried it was a bad sign of things to come,” she said.
In the years before the Great Recession, about a third of all mortgages were adjustable rate. Borrowers who couldn’t qualify for other types of loans took on mortgages at attractive interest rates that later ballooned to unaffordable levels. Foreclosures and the collapse of the housing market followed.
But Giovanetti’s second thought was that the market is in a very different place than it was then. The loan servicing industry is more regulated, and lenders are more concerned with making sure borrowers can afford loans.
“Even if you are getting an adjustable-rate mortgage today, you’re probably in a better position to handle it than someone 15 years ago,” Channel said. “That ultimately goes to show there isn’t as much cause for concern that this is going to lead to some other crash.”
And even with the growth of adjustable-rate mortgages, they still make up only about 10% of all mortgages.
What should homeowners keep in mind?
“The whole ‘adjustable’ part of adjustable-rate mortgages is something you have to be careful about,” Channel said. For a lot of people, “their best bet is still going to be a fixed-rate mortgage. Because it brings with it a sense of security.”
The main concern is that homeowners may no longer be able to afford payments once their mortgage rates adjust. Because although rates could adjust downward, lenders bet on rates rising. Homeowners could end up spending more monthly and over the lifetime of the mortgage than they would with a fixed-rate loan.
“You’re really taking a lot more risk on,” Giovanetti said. Borrowers “need to understand what they’re getting into.”
Figuring out costs and which of the many different types of adjustable loan terms will work best “is kind of a complicated endeavor,” she said.
Whether these mortgages can be a good idea depends on the value borrowers can get from the initial lower rate. The number of years the interest rate stays fixed varies with the type of loan. When the fixed rate ends, some loans adjust every six months, while others adjust annually.
Life circumstances can derail initial plans to sell before the mortgage rate adjusts. If homeowners choose adjustable-rate loans with the intent to refinance later, they have to factor in closing costs, which typically are 2% to 5% of the total loan amount.
Buyers need to consider their personal situations. For example, a borrower’s credit history helps determine interest rates.
Home buyers should speak to mortgage lenders and even a financial adviser about their options, Giovanetti said, and examine loan estimates of various products. Government-backed loans, for example, often offer lower fixed rates than conventional counterparts.
Ultimately, the difference in the amount a buyer will pay in interest for fixed-rate versus adjustable-rate loans should not be the deciding factor in whether a house is affordable, Giordano said. And “if that’s the case, you probably can’t even afford [the loan] at the adjustable rate,” he said, and should look at lower-priced homes.

Judith Durham, Australia's folk music icon, dies at 79
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - Judith Durham, Australia's folk music icon who achieved global fame as the lead singer of The Seekers, has died. She was 79.
Durham died in Alfred Hospital in Melbourne on Friday night after suffering complications from a long-standing lung disease, Universal Music Australia and Musicoast said in a statement on Saturday.
She made her first recording at 19 and rose to fame after joining The Seekers in 1963. The group of four became the first Australian band to achieve major chart and sales success in the U.K. and the United States, eventually selling 50 million records.
International hits included "The Carnival is Over," "I'll Never Find Another You," "A World of Our Own" and "Georgy Girl."
Durham embarked on a solo career in 1968 but recorded with The Seekers again in the 1990s.
"This is a sad day for Judith´s family, her fellow Seekers, the staff of Musicoast, the music industry and fans worldwide, and all of us who have been part of Judith´s life for so long," said The Seekers' management team member Graham Simpson.

Her bandmates in The Seekers - Keith Potger, Bruce Woodley and Athol Guy - said their lives had been changed forever by losing "our treasured lifelong friend and shining star".
"Her struggle was intense and heroic, never complaining of her destiny and fully accepting its conclusion. Her magnificent musical legacy Keith, Bruce and I are so blessed to share," they said.
Tributes flowed for the beloved singer, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese describing Durham as "a national treasure and an Australian icon."
"Judith Durham gave voice to a new strand of our identity and helped blaze a trail for a new generation of Aussie artists," Albanese wrote on Twitter. "Her kindness will be missed by many, the anthems she gave to our nation will never be forgotten."
In her home state Victoria, Premier Dan Andrews said Durham had conquered the music world both in Australia and overseas.
"With her unique voice and stage presence leading The Seekers, the band became one of Australia´s biggest chart toppers," he said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11087083/Judith-Durham-Australias-folk-music-icon-dies-79.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-06T11:31:30Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11087083/Judith-Durham-Australias-folk-music-icon-dies-79.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

The Baltimore Orioles aren’t supposed to be the type of team that just plugs in another player and it all works out.
Until now.
The Orioles are riding a four-game winning streak and are climbing the American League wild-card standings as they prepare to play the middle game of a three-game series against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.
Baltimore rookie Terrin Vavra started at designated hitter on Friday and recorded three hits in the Orioles’ 1-0 victory over the Pirates. He has played in seven major league games and has a four-game hitting streak.
“He is taking veteran-type at-bats, where he’s laying off tough pitches,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “It’s the quality of his at-bats and how he’s able to not chase, which is nice to watch. …
“We chase a little too much as a club, and to have somebody up here that’s managing his at-bat really well. It’s been really impressive,” Hyde said.
The positive vibes stalled for the Pirates, who arrived after a three-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers. Manager Derek Shelton wasn’t in the dugout for the finish Friday night after an eighth-inning ejection.
The Pirates are intent on making sure the result doesn’t grow into something worse. Center fielder Bryan Reynolds said the team is developing a better mindset.
“Just gritty,” Reynolds said. “Just gritty grinders.”
Saturday will be the second game of Pittsburgh’s 10-game road trip. The Pirates have dropped seven of their past eight road games, but they don’t want to hold a negative attitude.
“We just fight,” Pirates third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes said. “We fight the whole game, even when we’re down.”
So many things are going the Orioles’ way that even blips don’t seem to interfere for long. Even with sluggish offense, they rode pitching on Friday, recording their second shutout in a 10-day span.
Baltimore got by the past two games without outfielder Austin Hays, who is nursing a sore oblique.
“We’re just trying to be careful with it,” Hays said. “It’s nothing super concerning right now.”
Hays’ absence on Friday resulted in the first Baltimore start for outfielder Brett Phillips, who was acquired earlier in the week from the Tampa Bay Rays. Phillips has a reputation as a strong defensive player.
“Brett’s an elite outfielder, elite base-stealer, one of the best throwers in the game,” Hyde said. “So we continue to get better in the outfield defensively, and a lot of options to pick late in the game for when we want to put our best outfield out there.”
Right-hander Austin Voth (1-1, 5.54 ERA) will get the call for the Orioles on Saturday. Voth has made seven starts since joining the Orioles in a trade from Washington. While with the Nationals, he pitched two shutout innings against the Pirates in April, his lone career appearance vs. Pittsburgh.
Pirates right-hander JT Brubaker (2-9, 4.40 ERA) is slated to oppose Voth. Even in a season with not much going right, his most recent outing was his worst when he surrendered seven runs on 12 hits in 4 1/3 innings to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
Brubaker has never faced the Orioles.

CHAVIES, Ky. (AP) — Angel Campbell should have been sitting in her usual chair in her grandmother’s living room this week, looking through her old photo albums and eating her favorite soup beans.
Now the living room is gone, and so is her grandmother.
A week after 82-year-old Nellie Mae Howard died in the devastating floods that killed at least 37 people in eastern Kentucky, Campbell can’t stop thinking about how she was swept away. She said losing her “Mammaw” will plague her for a very long time.
“The way she had to leave this earth just shatters me,” she said. “It just feels so cruel.”
Eastern Kentucky has been engaged for days now in the slow, grim task of recovering and burying the dead. Local funeral homes have settled into a steady cadence of visitations and memorials, sometimes in quick succession. The somber rituals have continued as more rain falls, prompting yet another flood watch across the Appalachian mountain region. People here brace at the prospect of a new round of misery.
Funeral home workers have had to navigate the staggering losses, in communities where families have known each other for generations, some after losing their own houses. They’ve had to carry on without power or water at times, taking in so many bodies that a mobile refrigerator was brought in to add capacity.
Mobile federal emergency management centers opened across at least seven counties where people could request money for immediate needs. A relief fund set up by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has begun distributing money to pay the funeral expenses of flood victims.
No place in eastern Kentucky suffered more deaths than Knott County, where 17 people perished in the historic flooding. The local coroner, Corey Watson, knew nearly all of them.
“I was retrieving people from scenes that I had known since I was a child or I had seen that person grow up,” Watson said. “It’s hard.”
The floodwaters tore families apart. Two sets of husbands and wives died. Whole families were “decimated,” the coroner said. Most of those who died were retirees, he said.
Watson said his training taught him how to compose himself, but in such an extreme situation, he wondered: “How do you properly compose yourself when you see a multitude of people passing away and there being attempts to save their life or to keep them together? It’s troubling, but we have to go through this. We have to overcome it. We can always hold their memory in our heart.”
The floods in Pine Top surged through Randall and Rosa Lee Vick’s front door, ripped a huge hole in their back wall and swept them into the dark water. Vick said he had just a split second to speak to her before they went under. “Whatever happens, I love you,” he said.
Vick was able to cling to a tree for about seven hours before Kevin Patrick and another neighbor lashed themselves together with extension cords and waded out to rescue him. They found his wife’s body miles away.
What’s left of their home came to rest on the opposite side of their normally placid creek. A neighbor has lent him a pop-up camper to live in, once he’s ready.
“I can’t bring back what I had,” Vick said. “I’m just going to have to get up and go on. I’ll make it.”
Denver Bates, 76, drove up to check on them Thursday. The Vicks had worked for him, cutting his grass.
“They had four and five cars in their driveway. Money. Yards kept clean. They were living good, and God let them know who’s the boss,” Bates said.
A family friend, Jade Dollarhide, gave Vick a hug while seeing what he needs.
“We may not have all the shopping centers, we may not have all these big jobs and factories and everything else, but what we lack with money, you know we’re rich in friendship and family,” Dollarhide said. “That’s what’s important.”
For some families, the funerals have offered their first chance to pause and reflect on the losses after days of digging out.
Campbell’s mother, Patricia Collins, was at home with her boyfriend next door to Howard’s home in Chavies, Kentucky, when the storms hit. Collins went to check on her, and climbed with her grandmother onto the kitchen table, but it collapsed into the surging water.
Collins was in the water for two hours, pinned between a couch and a car. The only thing that saved her was a flashing tail light that caught the eye of her neighbors, who pulled her to safety. Battered and bruised, she never saw Howard alive again.
It took nearly five hours to find Howard’s body. Campbell’s brother pulled their grandmother from the water, checked for a pulse and wiped mud from her face. Then he asked the neighbors for a sheet to cover her, and sat with her body for hours.
Both homes are now in ruins, carried in pieces hundreds of feet from where Howard had lived for half a century.
Campbell said her grandmother was like her second mother. They either saw each other or spoke on the phone every day. She can still hear her giggling on the other line, or telling her to remember to thank Jesus for all the good in her life. She was a deeply religious woman who tended to her rose garden and thanked the Lord each morning for letting her see another day.
She was the person Campbell most often went to for advice — she knew just what to say.
“I always thought one day when I had to say goodbye to her I would still get to go sit in my favorite chair and remember all the good times,” she said. “But I can’t even do that and that really hurts.”
Almost everything her grandmother and mother owned was lost in the flood. Miraculously, a photo still hung on one wall – a portrait of her grandmother and her grandfather, who passed away 13 years ago.
That photo was displayed next to the white casket at her funeral this week, near a spray of roses put together by a family friend.
Just like the ones in her grandmother’s garden.

Which Under Armour men’s shorts are best?
No matter what activity or adventure you have planned, Under Armour men’s shorts were designed to keep you cool, dry and comfortable. Some styles resist stains, block the sun and repel water with lightweight and breathable fabrics.
If you are looking for a pair of well-ventilated and moisture-wicking shorts with built-in briefs for coverage and comfort, the Under Armour Men’s Speedpocket 7-Inch Shorts are the best.
What to know before you buy Under Armour men’s shorts
Types of Under Armour men’s shorts
Under Armour men’s shorts are durable enough to withstand your most rigorous activities and comfortable enough to double as your favorite loungewear. They’re made for several sports.
- Basketball shorts: This design has ventilating mesh and sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry.
- Running shorts: These are typically constructed with ultra-lightweight, stretch-woven fabrics with added ventilation at the sides to keep you cool.
- Golfing shorts: This style looks similar to traditional khakis, but they are breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking and have added stretch for comfort.
- Training shorts: These are made with lightweight stretch-woven fabric that pulls sweat from your body to keep you comfortable and dry so you can squat, lunge and move with ease.
- Fishing shorts: These shorts look like a standard cargo design but block the sun, water and stains. They are also a flexible and breathable design made for comfort.
Men’s shorts inseams
You can determine your shorts’ inseam by laying them down on a flat surface, then measuring from the center of the crotch to the bottom of the hemline.
- Ultra-short: At 4 inches or less, these shorts land high on your thigh and are ideal for running.
- Short: Typically from 4.5-6.5 inches, these shorts sit high to mid-thigh and are ideal for running, tactical workouts and soccer.
- Mid-length: Usually 7-10.5 inches this versatile hemline hits you mid to low thigh, which is appropriate at the golf course, gym and beyond.
- Long: At 11 inches or longer, these shorts rest just above the knee or below it, and they are ideal for golfing, basketball or leisurewear.
Many professional stylists suggest that the best length for men’s shorts is around 2 inches above the knee. But don’t let that advice overshadow your preferences and the activities you plan to perform while wearing them. For example, running shorts are usually shorter than golfing shorts.

SAN JOSE (AP) — Coco Gauff held off four-time major champion Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-4 on Thursday night to advance to the quarterfinals at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic.
Gauff, the No. 6 seed, held all of her serves in the opening set and finished the 45-minute session with three aces. Osaka had the first double-fault of the match early in the second set and Gauff took advantage for a 2-1 lead. Gauff quickly built a double-break lead at 5-1 and led 40-0 before Osaka saved four match points and used her first ace to make it 5-2.
Osaka then broke Gauff for the first time in the match and overcame another 40-0 deficit with five straight points for 5-4. But Gauff closed it out on her eighth match point with an unreturnable serve.
“The most proud was how I responded mentally,” Gauff said. “I could have easily folded in those couple of double-faults and match points that I lost. But I kept telling myself ‘Another point, another chance’ and then the music kind of helped on the bench. I was trying to sing along to the song to get me out of the match.”
Gauff’s victory evened the series with Osaka at two wins apiece.
“I lost the match today but I feel really confident in who I am,” Osaka said. “I feel like the pressure doesn’t beat me. I am the pressure. I’m really happy with that.”
Gauff will face No. 2 seed Paula Badosa on Friday. Other winners in San Jose were Shelby Rogers and No. 4 seed Aryna Sabalenka.
Rogers beat top-seeded Maria Sakkari 6-1, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals for the third time this season. Coming off an opening-round win against 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu, she beat Sakkari, a 2018 finalist and 2019 semifinalist in San Jose, for the third straight time.
Sabalenka came back from trailing 5-3 in the third set to edge Caroline Dolehide 5-7, 6-1, 7-5. Sabalenka overcame 20 double-faults in the match to advance to play No. 7 seed Daria Kasatkina of Russia.
The schedule for Friday in the hard-court U.S. Open tune-up includes Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur, who will face Veronika Kudermetova.
