CLEVELAND (AP) — Jacoby Brissett has jumped ahead of Deshaun Watson on Cleveland’s depth chart. Maybe for a while.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Brissett will take the majority of snaps with Cleveland’s first-team offense starting Sunday, a move necessitated by Watson’s pending suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy for sexual misconduct allegations.
Watson, who made his debut with the Browns by starting Friday’s exhibition win over Jacksonville, has been the No. 1 quarterback throughout training camp.
But he’s going to miss at least the first six regular-season games — and potentially more — so the Browns need to get Brissett ready for the Sept. 11 opener at Carolina.
“That has been the plan really from the beginning is just to at some point let Jacoby get the majority of them, still work Deshaun, still work Josh Dobbs and still work Josh Rosen,” Stefanski said, referring to Cleveland’s four QBs during a Zoom call with reporters.
Watson’s situation remains in flux.
His six-game suspension handed down by independent arbiter Sue L. Robinson was appealed by the NFL and is being decided by Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey Attorney General appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Harvey’s ruling could come at any time and there’s still the possibility Watson and the league could agree to a settlement.
On Thursday, a person familiar with Watson’s defense told the AP the three-time Pro Bowler would accept an eight-game suspension and $5 million fine. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
Before Friday’s game, Watson’s first in nearly 600 days, he apologized for the first time since two dozen women filed lawsuits against him alleging sexual harassment and assault during massage therapy sessions while he played for Houston.
“I’m truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted,” Watson said.
In her ruling, Robinson noted Watson’s lack of remorse played a factor in her decision to suspend him.
Stefanski said the apology was a good step for Watson.
“I just think Deshaun has been very committed to being the best version of himself,” Stefanski said. “That is off the field and that is on the field, obviously when he is in this building, but more so I do think he wants to learn and grow as a person. That is important.”
In the meantime, the Browns need to get ready for the season.
Brissett was signed in March by the Browns, who viewed him as a perfect plug-in while Watson is sidelined. The 29-year-old Brissett has made 37 career starts and been thrown into unique situations, including in 2019 when he became Indianapolis’ starter following Andrew Luck’s stunning retirement.
The Browns didn’t play Brissett against the Jaguars to avoid the risk of an injury and to get Watson back into the flow of a game. Now, it’s time for Brissett to get more time with Cleveland’s starters.
Stefanski has been pleased with the team’s plan to this point.
“Jacoby has gotten a lot of reps to date. I go back to the nine-week offseason program and the weeks we have been together, he has gotten a ton of reps with the ones and with the twos,” he said. “Even the way we structure our routes versus air and individual period, he has gotten a lot of reps with the quote-unquote ones and the twos.
“He will keep on that same process and making sure he is running the show when he is in there. He does a nice job in the quarterback meeting room with those guys, so I just think this is also the natural progression for him moving forward.”
The Browns will practice twice this week against the Philadelphia Eagles before hosting them next Sunday in their first home exhibition.

LONDON, UK — The World Health Organization says it's holding an open forum to rename the disease monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be derogatory or have racist connotations.
In a statement Friday, the U.N. health agency said it has also renamed two families, or clades, of the virus, using Roman numerals instead of geographic areas, to avoid stigmatization. The version of the disease formerly known as the Congo Basin will now be known as Clade one or I and the West Africa clade will be known as Clade two or II.
WHO said the decision was made following a meeting of scientists this week and in line with current best practices for naming diseases, which aims to “avoid causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic groups, and minimize any negative impact on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare.”
Numerous other diseases, including Japanese encephalitis, Marburg virus, Spanish influenza and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome have been named after the geographic areas where they first arose or were identified. WHO has not publicly suggested changing any of those names.
Monkeypox was first named in 1958 when research monkeys in Denmark were observed to have a “pox-like” disease, although they are not thought to be the animal reservoir.
WHO said it was also opening a way for the public to suggest new names for monkeypox, but did not say when any new name would be announced.
To date, there have been more than 31,000 cases of monkeypox identified globally since May, with the majority of those beyond Africa. Monkeypox has been endemic in parts of central and west Africa for decades and was not known to trigger large outbreaks beyond the continent until May.
WHO declared the global spread of monkeypox to be an international emergency in July and the U.S. declared its own epidemic to be a national emergency earlier this month.
Outside of Africa, 98% of cases are in men who have sex with men. With only a limited global supply of vaccines, authorities are racing to stop monkeypox before it becomes entrenched as a new disease. | https://www.12news.com/article/news/nation-world/who-to-rename-monkeypox-disease/507-03ff62d5-1f92-433a-bc86-16e73fa4a041 | 2022-08-14T01:25:09Z | https://www.12news.com/article/news/nation-world/who-to-rename-monkeypox-disease/507-03ff62d5-1f92-433a-bc86-16e73fa4a041 | false |
KABUL, Afghanistan — Girls are barred from secondary schools and women from traveling any significant distance without a male relative. Men in government offices are told to grow beards, wear traditional Afghan clothes and prayer caps, and stop work for prayers.
Music is officially banned, and foreign news broadcasts, TV shows and movies have been removed from public airwaves. At checkpoints along the streets, morality police chastise women who are not covered from head to toe in all-concealing burqas and headpieces in public.
A year into Taliban rule, Afghanistan has seemed to hurtle backward in time. The country’s new rulers, triumphant after two decades of insurgency, have reinstituted an emirate governed by a strict interpretation of Islamic law and issued a flood of edicts curtailing women’s rights, institutionalizing patriarchal customs, restricting journalists and effectively erasing many vestiges of an American-led occupation and nation-building effort.
For many Afghans — particularly women in cities — the sense of loss has been devastating. Before the Taliban seized power, some young people realized ambitions of becoming doctors, lawyers and government officials, and explored international opportunities, as well.
“Now it’s gone — all of it,” said Zakia Zahadat, 24, who used to work in a government ministry after she earned a college degree. She is mostly confined to home these days, she said. “We have lost the power to choose what we want.”
To enforce their decrees and stamp out dissent, the new Taliban government has employed police state tactics like door-to-door searches and arbitrary arrests — drawing widespread condemnation from international human rights monitors. Those tactics have instilled an undercurrent of fear in the lives of those who oppose their rule, and have cut off the country from millions in development aid and foreign assistance as it slips again into pariah state status.
That international isolation is exacerbating an economic and humanitarian crisis that has engulfed the country since the Western-backed government collapsed last year, and the country’s alienation is likely to deepen, since U.S. officials accused the Taliban of harboring the leader of al-Qaida this month.
Millions became unemployed after jobs with foreign embassies, militaries and nongovernmental organizations vanished practically overnight, malnourished children have flooded Kabul’s hospitals in recent months and more than half the population faces life-threatening food insecurity, according to the United Nations.
In one way, however, the country has been better off: It is largely at peace, after decades of war that tore families apart and left no corner of Afghanistan untouched.
When Western troops withdrew last year and the war ended, so did a scourge that claimed tens of thousands of Afghan civilian lives. Gone were the American raids and airstrikes, the crossfire between the Afghan security forces and the insurgents, and the indiscriminate Taliban roadside bombs and devastating suicide attacks.
The relative calm has offered a welcomed respite for Afghans living in rural areas, particularly in the south, whose lives were upended by fighting over the past two decades.
So far, the Taliban have also avoided returning to the brutal public spectacles of flogging, amputations and mass executions that marked their first rule in the 1990s and widely turned international opinion against their rule.
But the Taliban’s restrictions, and the economic collapse that accelerated after they seized control of the country in August 2021, have had an outsize effect on the capital, Kabul, where the long occupation by Western forces had profoundly affected day-to-day life in the city.
Before the Taliban seized power, men and women picnicked together in parks on weekends and chatted over cappuccinos in its coffee shops. Girls in knee-length dresses and jeans tore around skate parks and built robots in after-school programs. Clean-shaven men wore Western suits to work in government offices, where women held some high-ranking positions.
Over the past two decades, Western donors touted many of those facets of life as signal achievements of their intervention. Now the Taliban’s vision for the country is once again reshaping the social fabric.
Thousands of women who served as lawyers, judges, soldiers and police officers are no longer at their posts. Most working women have been restricted to jobs in education or health care, serving fellow women.
Before the Western government collapsed last year, Fereshta Alyar, 18, had been in 12th grade and preparing to take the national university entrance exam. Every day she spent her mornings doing homework, went to school and to an after-school math program in the afternoons, then returned home to study more.
For months after the Taliban seized power and closed girls’ secondary schools indefinitely, she fell into a deep depression — the seemingly endless possibilities for her future vanished in an instant. Now she spends her days at home, trying to muster the willpower to study her old English language textbooks alone. Like many of her old classmates, Ayar survives on the hope of one day leaving the country, she said.
The Taliban insist that they have deep public support for these changes. The Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention, which has issued the decrees, says that the edicts have helped restore Afghanistan’s traditional status as a strictly observant Islamic nation.
“All these decrees are for the protection of women, not the oppression of women,” said Mohammad Sadiq Akif, the spokesperson for the ministry.
Asked about the women’s travel decree, Akif, 33, responded: “A woman is a helpless and powerless creature. If a woman goes on a journey alone, during the journey she could face a problem that she cannot solve by herself.” He said long-haul buses and taxis had been instructed not to transport women traveling alone.
Music had been banned, Akif said, “because our Prophet says listening to music develops hypocrisy in the human heart.” Foreign news reports and entertainment programs “turned people against Afghan culture,” Akif said.
Men may only visit parks on days reserved for men, he said, because “a man who goes to a park with his family may look at other women in the park, which is not a good thing.”
The Taliban’s initial pledge to open secondary schools for girls nationwide had been viewed by the international community as an important indicator of the Taliban government’s willingness to moderate. When the group’s top religious ideologues reneged on that promise in March, many Western donors halted plans to invest in long-term development programs, aid workers say.
“Among the donor community there is a talk about before March and after March,” said Abdallah Al Dardari, the United Nations Development Program’s resident representative in Afghanistan.
In rural areas, where conservative, patriarchal social customs have dominated life for decades, many Afghans chafed under the American-backed government, which was stained by corruption and often incapable of providing public services or security.
And there is little doubt that the sense of constant peril that dominated the country both in its cities and the countryside through 20 years of war has eased.
“Now I can walk freely, the change is like the difference between the ground and the sky to me,” said Mohammad Ashraf Khan, 50, a resident of Zari district of Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan.
For most of the past two decades, Khan was unable to escape the brutality of the war. His 27-year-old grandson was killed on his farm after soldiers with the former government mistook him for a Talib fighter, he said. His 17-year-old nephew was killed by a roadside bomb. The gas station he owned once burned down after fighting broke out on the highway beside it.
Now he can drive for hours down the road to Kandahar city, free of the fear that he could be killed in a sudden flash of fighting. His modest income has been slashed by more than 70% with the economic downturn, he said, but that matters less to him than the freedom that came with the end of the war.
“I’m just happy the fighting is over,” he said.
But for many Afghans, the sudden economic collapse, soaring food prices and rampant unemployment have been devastating.
Across major cities, informal markets hawking desperate people’s household belongings have taken over entire streets. Makeshift stalls are packed with shiny blue and pink curtains, flimsy wardrobes, TVs, refrigerators and multiple piles of red Afghan rugs.
Sitting in his stall in Kabul one recent afternoon, one vendor, Mohammad Nasir, thumbed a string of red prayer beads in his hand, musing on the city’s seemingly sudden economic decline.
Earlier that day a mother had come with her two young sons, who were crying for food, to bring Mohammad a rug to sell. But even more heartbreaking was what he saw during his commute home earlier that week, he said.
“Beside a river, someone was throwing away stale bread, and people were there collecting the stale bread to eat,” he said. “I’m 79 years old and I have never seen such a thing in Kabul.
“Even under the previous regime of the Taliban — people were hungry, but I didn’t see that,” he added. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/with-afghanistan-in-their-grip-taliban-roll-back-the-clock/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-08-14T01:29:05Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/with-afghanistan-in-their-grip-taliban-roll-back-the-clock/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | false |

Fed's Daly is open to 75 bps hike in Sept, sees no 'hump' in rate path
By Ann Saphir
Aug 11 (Reuters) - San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly said on Thursday that while a half-percentage-point interest rate hike in September "makes sense," she is open to the possibility of a bigger hike to fight too-high inflation.
"I still think 50 basis points is the case, but I am open to 75 should the data evolve differently," Daly told Bloomberg TV, saying she does not want to be "head-faked" by the recent improvement in inflation readings and noting there will be more data on employment and inflation before the Fed's next meeting, on Sept. 20-21.
Daly's hawkish tone came a day after a Labor Department report showed consumer prices did not rise in July from the month before and after a report on Thursday showed producer prices unexpectedly fell in July.
The hint of relief from what had been relentlessly accelerating inflation sent traders of interest-rate futures piling into bets on the 50-basis-point rate hike that Daly sees as most likely at the Fed's upcoming meeting.
Equity markets also rose on the notion that the Fed would soon slow rate hikes. Rising stock prices threaten to undo some of the Fed's efforts to tighten financial conditions and slow the economy by raising borrowing costs.
"We don't want financial conditions to relax," Daly said, noting that she looks not only at the stock market but also at borrowing costs for businesses and consumers as well mortgage rates -- which have risen sharply -- to gauge financial conditions. "I really do want those to remain tight and tight and tightening as we go," she said.
Daly pushed back on market expectations for interest rate cuts to follow swiftly on the current round of rate hikes. Rate futures prices traded at CME Group show investors expect the Fed to cut rates by about 50 basis points next year.
"I don't see this hump-shaped part where we raise interest rates to really high rates and then bring them down," Daly told Bloomberg TV. "I think of raising them to a level that we think is going to be appropriate and then holding them there."
Since March, the Fed has raised its short-term policy rate from near zero to a current range of 2.25%-2.5%, and Daly repeated her view that rates need to rise to about 3.4% this year and higher next year to restrict growth and reduce inflation.
Even with the slight easing in price pressures in this week's data, consumers are still paying 8.5% more this year than last year for the same goods and services, a point Daly noted repeatedly in the interview.
"Inflation is too high," she said.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Carlos Correa can’t go to any road stadium without hearing the boos. It’s part of the territory now, not just for him, but for his 2017 Astros teammates. The Astros beat the Dodgers that year in the World Series, but later, their electronic sign-stealing scheme was revealed, drawing the ire of fans around the league.
Nowhere is it more pronounced than at Dodger Stadium, where Correa spent two days this week garnering the loudest boos and jeers he’s heard all season, along with frequent chants of “cheat-er, cheat-er” when he dug into the batter’s box.
It’s normal for Correa at this point, he said. And besides, he pointed out, last year was much worse.
“I don’t hate that they boo me,” he said. “I’ve learned to live with that.”
Last year, the shortstop didn’t even leave his hotel room when the Astros visited Los Angeles. This year, he realized something: It may seem as if he’s public enemy No. 1 at Dodger Stadium, but away from the ballpark, the reception he gets is quite different.
The Twins had off days on Monday, during which he went to the aquarium with his wife and baby son, and Thursday, during which the family spent the entire day at nearby Disneyland.
So, how was the reception?
“You know what I realized?” Correa asked. “That in the stadium, when I go, they like boo and stuff and it’s an entertainment type of thing for everyone to just do that. But when they see me on the streets, they’re super nice and they ask me for pictures, and they ask me for memorabilia for the kids or for autographs.”
Normally, he said, when he sees someone approaching in a Dodgers hat or jersey, the people around him close in to create a protective shield, not knowing how the fan might react to seeing him. But on this trip, he’s usually heard something along the lines of, “Hey Carlos, I’m a fan! Can I take a picture with you?” to which he will oblige.
“In this trip here, I learned that because I also went to the aquarium in L.A. over there and I went to restaurants and stuff and people were super nice and super, super full, and I was just taking pictures with everyone. It was cool. So one thing I learned is it’s part of the entertainment when I go to the stadiums.”
KEPLER ‘LOOKS LIKE NORMAL SELF’
Max Kepler was 0-for-21 heading into Saturday’s game since returning from the injured list, but manager Rocco Baldelli said the right fielder “looks like his normal self,” to him.
Kepler was hit by a pitch in the foot last month, fracturing his right pinky toe and necessitating a stint on the injured list. Before he returned, Kepler described the injury as something that wouldn’t heal until the season is over, saying he would “have to deal with it and play through it.”
He’s been doing that since his return on Aug. 6.
“I don’t think the swings themselves and what he’s doing at the plate look too different. When a guy’s kind of working through some changes physically, I mean physical changes and maybe some minor soreness that he’s still dealing with and things like that, I think he’s still, obviously, still getting his feet under him from coming back from his toe injury,” Baldelli said. “But I also don’t think he looks like a guy that can’t go up there and hit a ball on the barrel. … I think he looks fine.”

"When Jackie Robinson stepped on the field as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers, for us Black folk, it was our Neil Armstrong landing on the moon," said Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.
Now, 75 years after Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier, the Los Angeles Dodgers left their spikes at the ballpark to walk in his footsteps.
A group of Dodgers players and coaches toured the museum, which Kendrick called a civil rights and justice institution seen through the lens of baseball. Robinson would use his fame and prestige to become a civil rights activist.
"It's emotional. It's exciting," said Dave Roberts, manager of the Dodgers.
Roberts thinks young major league players understand the monumental achievements of Negro Leaguers integrating under harsh circumstances. "It's sinking in," Roberts told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield Saturday. "I think as we go forward, really that appreciation of our history and how that came to be is so important."
Roberts is one of only two Black managers in Major League Baseball along with Dusty Baker of the Houston Astros. Roberts is also half Japanese.
During the tour, Dodgers pitcher David Price posed with a statue of Satchel Paige, the Negro League turned Major Leagues mega-star some players called the best and fastest pitcher ever, and shook the hand of the ever-effusive Kendrick.
Price said he used to write book reports for school on Satchel Paige. "Bob (Kendrick) always says he threw 105 (miles per hour) with pinpoint accuracy. And he was a showman."
Reflecting on the visit, Price added he appreciated the chance to be there. "It was awesome to see some of the uniforms, hear some of the stories," Price stressed. "It makes you extremely grateful to see all they went through, so we can live out our dream of playing major league baseball."
Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson echoed his teammate's comments.
"As an African American baseball player, a major-leaguer, you just feel a sense of pride and a sense of gratitude for what these guys have gone through and sacrificed," Thompson said.
Both Price and Thompson thanked the Negro Leaguers for putting them in the position they are in now.
"It needs to be publicized more, in my opinion," Thompson urged. "There's a lot more progress to go, but it's something to be celebrated."
When Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts practiced for his sixth straight All-Star Game, a huge media platform, he wore a shirt which spoke to his growing role as a voice for inclusivity. The shirt read, "We need more Black people at the Stadium."
Betts has also narrated a video, quoting directly from Robinson. "If you are going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what's going on, in my opinion you are wasting your life," Betts read.
Breaking the color barrier
"It's special, tremendous," Kendrick agreed. "The Dodgers' visit has taken on deeper meaning with the landmark anniversary of (Jackie) Robinson breaking the color barrier, and with some of the ills we are seeing crop up in society again."
After Robinson's debut, into the 1950s, the Dodgers added Negro Leaguers Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe, "Sweet" Lou Johnson, "Junior" Gilliam, Dan Bankhead and Joe Black. Kendrick pointed out that those signings happened before half of the major league teams had even a single African American player.
The Robinson-era Dodgers stood on a pedestal in the Black community for their inclusivity. For racist haters, the team stood for something else.
"They were absolutely called the 'N team' with vileness directed at the Dodgers because of all their Black players," Kendrick said.
But Kendrick added the ex-Negro Leaguers could take the taunts for many reasons, including because many had been disciplined by World War II armed forces service, 40% had attended college, and barnstorming showcase tours toughened them up.
"White fans would fill the ballparks to see the Black stars," Kendrick said. "But later, the Black players could not go out into the neighborhoods those White fans came from and eat in a restaurant or find a hotel that would let them stay the night. They ate peanut butter and crackers on the bus and slept on the bus."
Kendrick credits Black soldiers for propelling the movement to integrate.
"How could they risk dying fighting for this country against racism overseas, and then accept racism here at home?" Kendrick said. "The growing sentiment was those (Black) players should be allowed to play in this country."
The current Dodgers would not have heard such history lessons at the Negro League Museum during this year's landmark anniversary, but Covid protocols shortened the 2020 season, delaying an interleague series with the Kansas City Royals. This week's visit was the first for the team to the City of Fountains since 2014.
For Saturday night's game, both teams are honoring Robinson by wearing uniforms from two of his former teams. The Dodgers are wearing 1955 Brooklyn uniforms, and the Royals are wearing the 1945 uniforms of the Kansas City Monarchs.
At the Royals stadium Saturday, there was more celebration of Negro League excellence, with "Buck" O'Neill taking the spotlight. They brought the former Monarch's player and manager's MLB plaque from Cooperstown to Kansas City for public display.
Reflecting on the many Black players who took the field after the color barrier was broken, Kendrick mentioned the second Black player to join a major league team was Larry Doby, signed by Cleveland a couple of months after Robinson's debut.
"He barely gets mentioned," Kendrick said. "He's our Buzz Aldrin who walked on the moon right after Armstrong and nobody talks about him."

SIRMIONE Italy (AP) — Italy’s worst drought in decades has reduced Lake Garda, the country's largest lake, to near its lowest level ever recorded, exposing swaths of previously underwater rocks and warming the water to temperatures that approach the average in the Caribbean Sea.
Tourists flocking to the popular northern lake Friday for the start of Italy’s key summer long weekend found a vastly different landscape than in past years. An expansive stretch of bleached rock extended far from the normal shoreline, ringing the southern Sirmione Peninsula with a yellow halo between the green hues of the water and the trees on the shore.
“We came last year, we liked it, and we came back this year,” tourist Beatrice Masi said as she sat on the rocks. “We found the landscape had changed a lot. We were a bit shocked when we arrived because we had our usual walk around, and the water wasn’t there.”
Northern Italy hasn’t seen significant rainfall for months, and snowfall this year was down 70%, drying up important rivers like the Po, which flows across Italy's agricultural and industrial heartland. Many European countries, including Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, the Netherlands and Britain, are enduring droughts this summer that have hurt farmers and shippers and promoted authorities to restrict water use.
The parched condition of the Po, Italy's longest river, has already caused billions of euros in losses to farmers who normally rely on it to irrigate fields and rice paddies.
To compensate, authorities allowed more water from Lake Garda to flow out to local rivers — 70 cubic meters (2,472 cubic feet) of water per second. But in late July, they reduced the amount to protect the lake and the financially important tourism tied to it.
With 45 cubic meters (1,589 cubic feet) of water per second being diverted to rivers, the lake on Friday was 32 centimeters (12.6 inches) above the water table, near the record lows in 2003 and 2007.
Garda Mayor Davide Bedinelli said he had to protect both farmers and the tourist industry. He insisted that the summer tourist season was going better than expected, despite cancellations, mostly from German tourists, during Italy’s latest heat wave in late July.
“Drought is a fact that we have to deal with this year, but the tourist season is in no danger,” Bendinelli wrote in a July 20 Facebook post.
He confirmed the lake was losing two centimeters (.78 inches) of water a day.
The lake's temperature, meanwhile, has been above average for August, according to seatemperature.org. On Friday, the Garda's water was nearly 26 degrees Celsius (78 degrees Fahrenheit), several degrees warmer than the average August temperature of 22 C (71.6 F) and nearing the Caribbean Sea's average of around 27 C (80 F).
For Mario Treccani, who owns a lakefront concession of beach chairs and umbrellas, the lake's expanded shoreline means fewer people are renting his chairs since there are now plenty of rocks on which to sunbathe.
“The lake is usually a meter or more than a meter higher,” he said from the rocks.
Pointing to a small wall that usually blocks the water from the beach chairs, he recalled that on windy days, sometimes waves from the lake would splash up onto the tourists.
Not anymore.
“It is a bit sad. Before, you could hear the noise of the waves breaking up here. Now, you don’t hear anything,” he said. | https://www.ksby.com/news/national-news/italys-lake-garda-shrinks-to-near-historic-low-amid-drought | 2022-08-14T01:44:16Z | https://www.ksby.com/news/national-news/italys-lake-garda-shrinks-to-near-historic-low-amid-drought | true |

LONDON (AP) — Thousands of U.K. train drivers walked off the job Saturday in a strike over jobs, pay and conditions, scuppering services across much of the country. The action was the latest in a spreading series of strikes by British workers seeking substantial raises to offset soaring prices for food and fuel.
The 24-hour strike by members of the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen halted trains on major routes, including the main lines between London and Scotland and commuter services around the capital.
Weekend workers, soccer fans heading for games and families seeking seaside solace from a heat wave were among those forced to change their plans.
This has been a summer of travel disruption in Britain. Thousands of railway cleaners, signalers, maintenance workers staged a series of one-day strikes in June and July. More strikes are scheduled next week on nationwide trains and on London’s bus and subway network.
The disputes center on pay, working conditions and job security as Britain’s railways struggle to adapt to travel and commuting habits changed — perhaps forever — by the coronavirus pandemic.
There were almost 1 billion train journeys in the U.K. in the year to March, compared to 1.7 billion in the 12 months before the pandemic, and rail companies are looking to cut costs and staffing after two years in which emergency government funding kept them afloat.
Unions accuse Britain’s Conservative government of preventing train companies — which are privately owned but heavily regulated — from making a better offer.
“We find ourselves in a position where we are saying ‘That won’t be enough,’ they say ‘It’s down to the government,’ we talk to the government and they say ‘You have got to talk to the employers,’ and then we end up with a situation where it goes round and round in circles,” said Mick Whelan, general secretary of the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen.
The Department for Transport said claims of government meddling were “entirely false.”
More public- and private-sector unions are planning strikes as Britain faces its worst cost-of-living crisis in decades. Postal workers, lawyers, British Telecom staff, dock workers and garbage collectors have all announced walkouts for later this month.
U.K. inflation has hit a 40-year high of 9.4%, and the Bank of England says it could rise to 13% amid a recession later this year. The average U.K. household fuel bill has risen more than 50% so far in 2022 as the war in Ukraine squeezes global oil and natural gas supplies. Another increase is due in October, when the average bill is forecast to hit 3,500 pounds ($4,300) a year.
Adding to the travel chaos, air travelers in many countries are facing delays and disruption as airports struggle to cope with staff shortages and skyrocketing demand for flights after two pandemic-hit years. | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/driver-walkout-halts-trains-as-uk-summer-strike-wave-spreads/ | 2022-08-14T01:52:54Z | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/driver-walkout-halts-trains-as-uk-summer-strike-wave-spreads/ | false |
It's election day in Hawaii, where focus is on the Democratic gubernatorial primary
As Hawaii voters finish casting their ballots Saturday, the marquee race is the state's Democratic primary for governor.
There's a crowded field of Democrats vying to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. David Ige including Democratic Rep. Kai Kahele, who joined the race after announcing earlier this year he would leave Congress at the end of the term, vacating one of the Aloha State's two congressional seats. Hawaii Lt. Gov. Josh Green and former Hawaii first lady Vicky Cayetano are also competing for the Democratic gubernatorial nod in a state that's been helmed by party leadership for over a decade.
In a debate held in July, Green, a former emergency room doctor who served in the Hawaii state House and Senate, called out Kahele for serving one term in Congress and then retiring to return to Hawaii and run for governor, Hawaii News Now reported at the time.
Kahele, who was elected in 2020 to replace Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, came under fire earlier this year for his part-time work as a commercial pilot for Hawaiian Airlines, which raised questions of whether he was breaking any ethics rules for continuing his work with the airline.
Questions about Kahele's work with Hawaiian Airlines arose after the Honolulu Civil Beat published an in-depth story looking into his attendance at the US Capitol this year and his personal income since he entered office. The report found that Kahele had voted by proxy at least 120 times from the start of the year through early April, meaning another lawmaker has cast his votes for him.
Kahele's office at the time defended his part-time work with Hawaiian Airlines and said his decision to vote by proxy was motivated by concerns over new coronavirus variants, given that the congressman lives in a multigenerational family home. His office said he remained committed to his work in Washington, D.C.
Kahele's retirement from the House leaves the seat in the state's 2nd Congressional District open. The top-funded candidate is former Democratic state Sen. Jill Tokuda, who's been endorsed by the Progressive Caucus PAC and EMILY's List. State Rep. Patrick Branco, a former US diplomat, is also running for the Democratic nomination. Republican Joe Webster, who calls himself "a Republican like you've never met before" and are vying for the GOP nomination in the solidly Democratic district.
Democratic Rep. Ed Case, who represents Hawaii's 1st Congressional District, and Sen. Brian Schatz, who has held his seat since 2012, are running for reelection. Polls in Hawaii close at 7 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern time). All registered Hawaii voters are sent a mail ballot. Mail ballots are due by the close of polls on Aug. 13.

NEW YORK — Trillions of insects migrate across the globe each year, yet little is known about their journeys. So to look for clues, scientists in Germany took to the skies, placing tiny trackers on the backs of giant moths and following them by plane.
To the researchers’ surprise, the moths seemed to have a strong sense of where they were going. Even when the winds changed, the insects stayed on a straight course, the scientists reported in a study published Thursday in the journal Science.
Their flight paths suggest these death’s-head hawk moths have some complex navigation skills, the authors said, challenging earlier ideas that insects are just wanderers.
“For many, many years, it was thought that insect migration was mostly just dictated by winds, and they were blowing around,” said lead author Myles Menz, now a zoologist at James Cook University in Australia.
It’s been tough for scientists to get a close look at how insects travel, in part because of their small size, Menz said. The kinds of radio tags used to follow birds can be too heavy for smaller fliers.
But transmitters have gotten tinier. And it helps that the death's-head hawk moth is huge compared to other insects, with a wingspan up to 5 inches.
The iconic species — dark colored with yellow underwings and skull-like markings — was able to fly well with the tiny tracker glued to its back, said Martin Wikelski, a study co-author and migration researcher at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior.
The moths are thought to migrate thousands of miles between Europe and Africa in the autumn, flying by night.
For the study, researchers released tagged moths in Germany in the hopes they’d start flying on their migration path toward the Alps.

Wikelski, the study's pilot, took off in his plane, circling the area and waiting for any moths on the move. If he did pick up a signal from a tiny traveler, he would follow its radio blips for hours at a time.
“The little moth is guiding you,” he said.
The researchers followed the flight paths of 14 moths, with their longest track around 56 miles.
Not only did the moths fly in straight lines, but they also seemed to work around wind conditions, Menz said, flying low to the ground when the winds were against them, or rising up to catch a helpful tail wind.
Though the number of moths tracked was fairly small, getting any close-up look at insect migration is significant, said Ryan Norris, an insect and bird migration researcher at the University of Guelph in Canada, who was not involved in the study.
“I was surprised at how far they could track them,” Norris said. “And it certainly is surprising that individual moths stay on this straight trajectory." | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/nation-world/scientists-use-tiny-trackers-plane-moths/507-8327fc35-a9c8-4eee-936c-9333b4fc2a40 | 2022-08-14T01:58:49Z | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/nation-world/scientists-use-tiny-trackers-plane-moths/507-8327fc35-a9c8-4eee-936c-9333b4fc2a40 | false |
HONOLULU (AP) — The candidates running in Saturday’s primary election to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. David Ige include a former first lady, a retired mixed martial arts champion and a congressman who moonlights as a Hawaiian Airlines pilot.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Kaiali‘i Kahele’s decision to run for governor has opened up his congressional seat representing rural Oahu and the Neighbor Islands. In the U.S. Senate, incumbent Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz is also up for reelection and is facing a primary challenge from a little-known candidate.
Hawaii is a vote-by-mail state so voters have been mailing their ballots and placing them in drop boxes across the islands since late last month. Election clerks in each county have made a few voter service centers available for people registering to vote at the last minute or voting in person.
In the governor’s race, the leading Democratic candidates are Kahele, former Hawaii first lady Vicki Cayetano and Lt. Gov. Josh Green. On the Republican side, former Lt. Gov. James R. “Duke” Aiona, retired MMA fighter BJ Penn and Honolulu City Councilperson Heidi Tsuneyoshi are in the running.
Ige has served two four-year terms and is ineligible to run again. The winner of the Democratic primary would be the favorite to win the general election in the liberal state.
Many voters say Hawaii’s high housing costs are a top issue for them. The median price of a single-family home is over $1 million in Honolulu, Maui and Kauai counties.
Cayetano said she would build rent-to-own housing and work with the counties to streamline requirements impeding affordable housing construction. Green said he would issue an executive order to eliminate red tape and streamline approvals and enforce existing laws to shut down illegal vacation rentals. Kahele said he would build targeted workforce housing and impose a vacancy tax.
Aiona said he would eliminate the state Land Use Commission, which he blamed for slowing housing development.
Herbert Rowland, an Oahu construction worker, said he likes Green’s plans for tacking Hawaii’s housing problem and homelessness.
“I’m from this island, been here all my life. I don’t want my children to move off this island because it’s too expensive and they can’t find a house,” Rowland said while holding a Green campaign sign and waving at passing cars in Honolulu.
Large numbers of travelers and “overtourism” overwhelming popular sites are another major issue. Annual visitors to Hawaii hit a record 10 million in 2019. Numbers plummeted early during the COVID-19 pandemic but have since come roaring back.
Green proposed charging all travelers over the age of 12 a $50 fee. He said this would raise $350 million to $400 million that the state could use to restore parks, shorelines and build housing. Cayetano endorsed such a fee and said eliminating illegal vacation rentals was a good first step.
Kahele said Hawaii needs to reimagine tourism with a focus on Indigenous knowledge, the aloha spirit and culture.
Aiona said fees would be good if they’re used to maintain parks and trails but he urged caution because the higher costs could deter visitors who fuel Hawaii’s economy.
Kahele and Cayetano questioned income Green received while lieutenant governor from a limited liability company called Green Health International LLC. Green, who has continued in his emergency room doctor side job while lieutenant governor, said the money was for work he performed as a physician.
Kahele drew attention this year for his own side job as a Hawaiian Airlines pilot and his heavy use of proxy voting in Congress. Like everyone who’s voted by proxy, he submitted a required letter attesting he was “unable to physically” vote at the Capitol. He cited “the ongoing public health emergency.”
Mona Chang Vierra, a teacher, principal and educator, said she liked Cayetano’s business experience and her commitment to the community. Over 34 years, Cayetano built the biggest laundry services provider in Hawaii, serving hotels and hospitals on three islands. She resigned as president in February.
“She’s highly successful. Built her business from the ground up,” Chang Vierra said.
Cayetano became first lady in 1997 when she married then-Gov. Ben Cayetano during his first term in office.
In U.S. House races, state Rep. Patrick Pihana Branco and former state Sen. Jill Tokuda are among six candidates competing for the Democratic nomination for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District. Kahele, the incumbent, decided to run for governor instead of seeking reelection, leaving the position up for grabs.
Among Republicans, former U.S. Air Force intelligence analyst and businessman Joe Akana and business owner Joseph Webster are seeking the job.
In the 1st Congressional District, attorney and political newcomer Sergio Alcubilla is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Ed Case in the Democratic primary. Conrad Kress, Patrick Largey and Arturo Reyes are competing for the Republican endorsement.
In the U.S. Senate race, Schatz is being challenged in the Democratic primary by Steve Tataii, a conflict resolution consultant. Tataii made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2016.
In the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, state Rep. Bob McDermott is among five Republicans seeking his party’s nomination. | https://www.kark.com/news/politics/ap-politics/hawaii-voters-picking-nominees-in-race-to-succeed-gov-ige/ | 2022-08-14T02:04:54Z | https://www.kark.com/news/politics/ap-politics/hawaii-voters-picking-nominees-in-race-to-succeed-gov-ige/ | true |
Gaming industry feels squeeze after pandemic boom
Issued on: Modified:
San Francisco (AFP) – In the height of the pandemic, video games offered people solace in isolation. But now that life is slowly returning to pre-crisis normal, and inflation is soaring, gaming companies are feeling the pinch.
Makers of consoles, accessories, and software for gaming are experiencing the same kind of post-pandemic effect as tech titans who saw business boom while Covid-19 fears kept people close to home.
The squeeze has been exacerbated by steep inflation spurring belt-tightening and gaming fatigue after years of relying on indoor entertainment.
Early in the pandemic, "people flocked to Twitch in droves -- streamers and viewers alike," said Brandon Williams, who goes by the handle "BWpaco" on the Amazon-owned platform where gamers broadcast video game action.
"But I've talked to quite a few people who have stopped streaming because they've had burnout or because it's not for them," the 30-year-old streamer added.
"Or, they don't have the time anymore since they went back to work in person."
Twitch viewership that soared during the pandemic has ebbed but remains above what is was in 2019, according to twitchtracker.com.
Games still in play
Matt Piscatella, an analyst with market research group NPD, estimated that people in the United States will spend about $55.5 billion on gaming in total this year, less than last year but still up 28 percent from the pre-pandemic year of 2019.
US video game giant Activision Blizzard, which Microsoft is in the process of purchasing, reported that sales in the first half of this year declined, with gamers spending less time in its powerhouse "Call of Duty" franchise.
#photo1Nvidia, the California-based maker of high-performance graphics cards popular with gamers, recently issued an earnings warning because of "declining revenues in video games."
Even spending on mobile games is showing signs of weakening, according to analysts.
"Higher prices in everyday spending categories such as food and gas, the return of experiential spending such as travel and attending live events, a lighter release slate of new games, and continued new generation console hardware supply constraints were all likely contributors to the decline seen in the second quarter," Piscatella said.
Omdia analyst Steven Bailey said delayed releases of keenly-anticipated titles such as "Starfield" and "Suicide Squad" also contributed to a pandemic boom "correction" that was inevitable.
Lurking
The bump that new titles give to video game sales is a wild card likely to benefit the industry going forward, as players typically throng to get their hands on hot releases.
Piscatella expressed hope the video game market will stabilize in the year ahead and then return to steady growth.
#photo2The rising cost of living from inflation is forcing gamers to make choices with their money, but that doesn't mean they are abandoning play, the analyst noted.
More than three-quarters of US consumers play video games, and subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus help tamp down the cost, Piscatella said.
Pandemic effects on video game play have gone beyond the economic arena, giving rise to a trend of players seeking "comfort games" that emphasize cooperation rather than competition.
The explosion of Nintendo's "Animal Crossing" game devoted to community building is an example of this phenomenon, with players uniting to sustain virtual towns.
And, according to streamer BWpaco, viewers are taking to listening to Twitch channels as they might a radio broadcast while their attention is elsewhere.
"They're just lurking," the streamer said.
"I feel now that things have opened back up, and people are more busy, they have it on as background noise."

Three of the seniors looking to lead the Deerfield-Windsor Knights to the playoffs this season are, left to right, Boles Middleton, Ethan Johnson and Thomas Ray.
ALBANY — The Deerfield-Windsor Knights will open the regular football season Friday night at home against the Westfield School of Perry.
The Knights are looking to improve on last year’s 3-7 season in head coach Jake McCrae’s third season at DWS. Westfield is coming off an 8-3 season in the GISA last year.
“You’re a 5-15 team until you prove otherwise,” Mcrae said in an interview recently. “Everybody is thinking that this is their year, but you have to play and show up to make it a reality. You are who you are until you show up.”
The Knights will be in District 3 of the new GIAA football classification after leaving the GHSA last spring. They will compete in the district to earn a spot in the AAA 10-team football playoff at the end of the season. The district opponents include Terrell Academy, Southland, Brookwood, Tiftarea, and Valwood. McCrae know he and the Knights have their work cut out for them.
“This region is filled with incredible coaches,” McCrae said. “All of the teams are well-coached and disciplined. It is not going to be easy.”
McCrae is hoping his seniors this season are the difference.
“We have an excellent group of seniors this year,” the coach said. “We have some great leaders on this team and most championship teams have great player leadership. The seniors know what is expected of them and they work hard. The record doesn’t show much of the progress that has been made with this group, but it is there. I saw a lot of growth between the first and second year, and I have seen a great deal of growth this summer. You can’t always measure yourself in wins and losses.”
One of those senior leaders will be quarterback Thomas Ray, who is beginning his third year behind center as the starting quarterback.
“TRay is a fierce competitor. He is a great leader and can see the game about as well as any quarterback I have ever coached, and I have had some good ones," McCrae said.
The other seniors on the team include Ethan Johnson, Boles Middleton, Harrison Dyke, Ben Hatcher, Aaron Johnson, Chancellor Bacon, Parks Cohen, Chewy Willis, Brooks Margeson, Reid Martin, Tillman Dew and Henry Hood.
“The goal is to be practicing on Thanksgiving Day,” McCrae said. “If you still have practice on Thanksgiving day you take it all in and realize that you are on the right track with the program.”
And it was the lack of practice that hindered the Knights in their scrimmage Friday night at Miller County.
“We didn’t get a chance to practice outside all week,” McCrae said. “And it showed. The boys played hard but that is good Miller County team. We need to take care of the ball better and hope we have a better week to get ready for Westfield. They are a good football team too.”
McCrae’s assistant coaches this season are Ashton Pace, Bill Cefaratti, David Peacock, Craig Rhodes and Hollis Hood.
The Knights will open the season with three straight home games here in Albany. Westfield is this Friday, followed by McClay from Tallahassee and then Strong Rock Christian from Locust Grove.

Meteor hitting atmosphere is ‘likely’ cause for loud boom heard in Utah and Idaho, officials say
By Rebekah Riess and Sara Smart, CNN
A high-altitude meteor which blew up when it hit the atmosphere “is likely the best theory” for a loud boom heard across portions of northern Utah and southern Idaho on Saturday, said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox.
Cox, a Republican, said in a tweet he heard a loud boom while he was running in Salt Lake City early Saturday morning.
“We have confirmed it was not seismic/earthquake and not related to our military instillations,” his tweet continued.
The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City shared a screenshot of a radar map on Twitter showing two pink and red pixels over Davis and Morgan counties in Utah.
The agency said the pixels are “not associated with evidence of thunderstorm activity in satellite or radar,” but they are likely a result of the meteor trail and flash.
Utah residents took to social media to share their videos capturing the loud boom heard in the area Saturday morning. One video, recorded by the Snowbasin Ski Resort’s web camera, captured the meteor streaking across the sky.
Residents in Salt Lake City and South Jordan, which is about 20 minutes to the south, told CNN they heard the boom. Doorbell and home cameras recorded the sound from 8:30 a.m. to 8:32 a.m.
The meteor sighting took place at the tail end of the peak of Perseid meteor shower, which took occurred from Thursday through Saturday. This year’s barely visible peak happened at 11 p.m. ET Friday and the shower is active between July 14 and September 1, according to EarthSky.

Mets' ace Jacob deGrom, three relievers shut out Phils
Jacob deGrom outdueled Aaron Nola in an old-fashioned pitcher's duel Saturday night, striking out 10 over six scoreless innings to earn the win in his third start of the season as the Mets edged the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 1-0.
Pete Alonso's first-inning RBI single brought home the game's only run as the Mets won for the 16th time in 19 games. The Phillies have lost two of three since winning seven straight.
deGrom (2-0), who didn't make his season debut until Aug. 2 due to a shoulder injury, allowed two hits and walked none while throwing 76 pitches, 57 for strikes. He gave up a one-out single in the first to Rhys Hoskins and set down the next 16 batters before giving up a single to the penultimate batter he faced, Bryson Stott.
deGrom, who also missed the second half of last season with elbow woes, has a 1.62 ERA with 28 strikeouts and one walk in 16 2/3 innings.
Seth Lugo gave up a hit in the seventh and Trevor May struck out two in a perfect eighth before Edwin Diaz recorded his 27th save of the season -- and 200th of his career save by working around a pair of walks in the ninth. Diaz struck out Nick Castellanos to strand both runners in scoring position.
Nola (8-9) nearly matched deGrom and actually bettered the Mets' ace by retiring 17 in a row between the second and seventh innings. The right-hander gave up four hits and walked one while striking out eight in an eight-inning complete game.
The Mets took advantage of a throwing error by Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto to score their run in the first. With one out, Starling Marte singled, and he and stole second as Francisco Lindor struck out looking. Marte went to third when Realmuto's throw skipped into center field and he scored on Alonso's single to right.
Luis Guillorme and Jeff McNeil had the Mets' other hits, back-to-back singles with one out in the second.

Seth Williams already has spent a season with Denver, but it wasn’t until Saturday night that the former Auburn standout scored his first touchdown in a Broncos uniform.
In Denver’s 2022 NFL preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys, Williams came down with a 1-yard pass from quarterback Josh Johnson for the first points of the game with 12:48 left in the first half.
Williams joined the Broncos as a sixth-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, and he had two receptions for 46 yards in the preseason last year.
The wide receiver spent most of his rookie season on Denver’s practice squad, but he played 49 offensive snaps in the Broncos’ final two games of 2021 and had a 34-yard reception against the Los Angeles Chargers on Jan. 2 for his only official NFL catch.

In three seasons at Auburn, Williams had 132 receptions for 2,124 yards with 17 touchdowns. On the Tigers’ career lists, Williams ranks seventh in receptions, fourth in receiving yards and tied for third in TD receptions.
At Paul Bryant High School in Cottondale, Williams earned first-team All-State recognition in 2016 and 2017.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A loud “boom” heard across areas of northern Utah was likely a meteor, officials said Saturday.
Reports of the loud noise circulated at about 8:30 a.m., with people from Orem to southern Idaho posting that they heard the “boom,” The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox tweeted that his office confirmed it was not related to any seismic activity or military installations.
The National Weather Service’s Salt Lake City office wrote in a tweet that its lightning detection mapper likely picked up the meteor’s trail flash, which officials said seemed to be confirmed by witness video in Roy.
South Salt Lake resident Wendi Melling was just heading out the door Saturday morning when she heard the noise, which she described as a “loud deep booming sound” followed by a few seconds of rumbling.
“I thought I heard something fall in the house. I have since searched the house top to bottom and the only thing I’ve found was one slat from our wooden fence that had fallen, so that’s a relief,” Melling wrote in a Facebook message.
“It did sound similar to sonic booms I’ve heard before, followed by a short incident of a sound similar to low rolling thunder,” Melling continued. “This rumbling noise that followed the boom was maybe on 3-4 seconds.” | https://who13.com/science/ap-science/officials-loud-boom-heard-in-north-utah-likely-a-meteor/ | 2022-08-14T02:40:25Z | https://who13.com/science/ap-science/officials-loud-boom-heard-in-north-utah-likely-a-meteor/ | false |
CINCINNATI (AP) — Ian Happ, Willson Contreras and Franmil Reyes homered, and the Chicago Cubs beat the stumbling Cincinnati Reds 7-2 on Saturday night.
Happ hit an RBI single in the fifth inning and a three-run shot in the seventh, continuing his long run of success at Cincinnati. The All-Star outfielder, who starred at the University of Cincinnati before he was selected by Chicago in the first round of the 2015 amateur draft, has 16 career homers at Great American Ball Park.
Reyes’ two-run drive in the fourth was his first homer since he was claimed off waivers from Cleveland on Monday.
Kyle Farmer had two hits and two RBIs for last-place Cincinnati, which has dropped five straight and seven of 10 overall. Graham Ashcraft (5-3) was charged with four runs, three earned, and six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
The Cubs and Reds resumed their series in Cincinnati after playing in Thursday night’s “Field of Dreams” game in Dyersville, Iowa.
After Farmer cut Chicago’s lead to 3-2 with an RBI single in the fifth, Sean Newcomb replaced Adrian Sampson and struck out three straight batters to strand two runners. Newcomb (1-0) had five strikeouts in two innings for the win.
Reyes lifted the Cubs to a 2-1 lead with an opposite-field drive into the visitor’s bullpen in the right-field corner in the fourth. It was his 10th homer of the season.
Happ’s 10th homer made it 6-2, and Contreras tacked on a solo drive in the ninth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: INF Jonathan India was back with the team after spending Thursday night in an Iowa City hospital while doctors made sure he didn’t develop compartment syndrome after being hit by a pitch on his left lower leg in the series opener.
UP NEXT
Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson (9-5, 3.36 ERA) and Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (0-1, 5.79 ERA) pitch on Sunday. It’s Dunn’s first career appearance against Chicago.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jacob deGrom struck out 10 in six dominant innings and Edwin Díaz earned his 200th career save, helping the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 on Saturday night.
Pete Alonso hit an early RBI single as the NL East leaders improved to 31-9 following a loss and 10-4 in the season series with Philadelphia. Alonso leads the NL with 97 RBIs.
Díaz issued two walks in the ninth, and Philadelphia had runners on second and third when Nick Castellanos struck out swinging for the final out. It was Díaz's 27th save of the season.
DeGrom (2-0) allowed two hits and walked none in his third start after spending the first part of the season on the injured list.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner opened the game by striking out Bryson Stott looking on a 101.1 mph fastball and then allowed a soft single to Rhys Hoskins. After Alec Bohm grounded into a force play, deGrom fanned J.T. Realmuto on three straight sliders.
It was deGrom’s second double-digit strikeout game since returning and his 55th in the regular season overall. He improved to 9-1 in 20 career starts against the Phillies.
Philadelphia wasted a terrific performance by Aaron Nola (8-9), who allowed four hits in eight innings. The right-hander struck out eight and walked one, but he dropped to 0-3 in four starts against New York this year.
The Phillies finished with three hits.
New York jumped in front in the first. Starling Marte singled, stole second and took third on a throwing error by Realmuto before scoring on Alonso’s soft single to right.
After Alonso’s hit, Luis Guillorme and Jeff McNeill had consecutive one-out singles in the second. Nola retired 17 in a row before McNeil started the eighth with a walk.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: OF Kyle Schwarber (strained right calf) took batting practice on the field and ran in the outfield before hitting for Matt Vierling in the eighth. Schwarber was pulled in the fifth inning of Thursday’s 3-0 loss to Miami and sat out Friday.
Mets: 3B Eduardo Escobar (left side tightness) was held out of the lineup and an MRI came back clean. ... INF/OF Jeff McNeil was in the lineup after getting two stitches for a lacerated right thumb. McNeil exited Friday’s game in the second with the injury.
UP NEXT
Philadelphia right-hander Zack Wheeler (11-5, 2.63 ERA) opposes New York right-hander Chris Bassitt (9-7, 3.39 ERA) on Sunday. Wheeler is 4-2 with a 2.48 ERA in 10 career starts against the Mets. He broke into the majors with New York in 2013 and went 44-38 with a 3.77 ERA in 126 starts with the Mets.

PITTSBURGH — Kenny Pickett threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Vaughns with 3 seconds to play and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 32-25 on Saturday night.
Roethlisberger guided the franchise for 18 seasons and led the Steelers to three Super Bowl appearances.
Pickett, the former University of Pittsburgh standout, played the second half and finished 13 of 15 for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Pickett was sacked, forcing a turnover on downs, but had a chance to win the game when Pittsburgh’s Mark Robinson sacked Seattle’s Drew Lock and forced a fumble on the next play.
Pickett responded with a five-play, 43-yard drive capped by his touchdown pass to Vaughns. He received a loud ovation and chants of “Kenny, Kenny, Kenny” when he first took the field in the third quarter and before the eventual winning drive.
Lock and Geno Smith are in a competition to replace Russell Wilson as Seattle’s starting quarterback. Wilson was traded to Denver in the offseason. It’s the first quarterback competition for the Seahawks since 2012, when Wilson won the job as a rookie.
Smith and Lock didn’t have DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett on Saturday. Smith played the first half, going 10 of 15 for 101 yards and a rushing touchdown. Lock was 11 of 15 with 102 yards and two scores, but a crucial fumble that led to Pittsburgh’s winning touchdown.
All three Steelers quarterbacks threw touchdown passes. Trubisky and Rudolph threw touchdown passes in the first quarter, while Pickett converted on his first-ever NFL series and led the Steelers on a game-winning drive.
Trubisky, who played most of the first quarter, finished 4 of 7 for 63 yards with a touchdown. Rudolph ended the half, going 9 of 15 for 93 yards and a score.
Trubisky, was the No. 2 overall pick in 2017, while Rudolph served as Roethlisberger’s backup the past four seasons.
Pickett, who threw for 42 touchdowns and led the University of Pittsburgh to the program’s first ACC title, finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting and was the ACC Player of the Year in 2021.
Smith, entering his fourth season with the Seahawks, briefly filled in last season when Wilson went down with a hand injury. He kept Seattle competitive, but also made critical mistakes in losses against Pittsburgh and New Orleans.
Lock, entering his fourth season, was part of the deal Seattle received in return for sending Wilson to the Broncos. Lock has started 21 of 24 games, but has been inconsistent through his first three seasons.
The Seahawks punted on the first two series of the game, including a three-and-out, but Smith settled in the second quarter with a pair of scoring drives.
Smith ran an effective two-minute drill at the end of the half, as he led the Seahawks on a nine-play, 61-yard touchdown series in 1:27. He eluded a sack on third-and-2 and later scored a 2-yard touchdown to pull the Seahawks within 17-10 at halftime.
Lock twice tied the game in the second half with touchdown drives. Bo Melton started the first scoring drive with a 39-yard reception and Dareke Young caught two passes, a third down reception and a 3-yard touchdown. DeeJay Dallas closed a five-play, 51-yard drive with a 17-yard touchdown and Travis Homer tied the game at 25-25 with a 2-point conversion catch.
Lock’s late fourth-quarter fumble proved costly for the Seahawks.
Trubisky was backed up to his 10-yard line to start the game, but he responded by leading the Steelers on a seven-play, 90-yard drive in less than three minutes.
Anthony McFarland broke off a 24-yard run on third-and-1 and Gunner Olszewski caught back-to-back passes on the drive, a 25-yarder on third-and-1 and a 13-yard touchdown to close the series.
Trubisky moved the offense to midfield on his second series before the Steelers were forced to punt.
Rudolph played three series, leading the Steelers to a touchdown, field goal and three-and-out.
Rudolph recovered his own fumble and was sacked on his first snap, but he tossed a 26-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens two plays later. Rudolph used 17 plays and nearly nine minutes to lead the Steelers to the 3-yard line on his second drive. He nearly threw an interception midway through the drive, but the series ended with a 21-yard field goal.
Pickett led the Steelers on a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive in his first series. Steven Simms broke off a 38-yard run and Pickett later ended the drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Warren off a play action. He connected on a 2-point pass to Connor Heyward to make it 25-17.
INJURIES
Seahawks: Wide receiver Cody Thompson left with a shoulder injury. Cornerback Artie Burns, the Steelers former first-round draft pick, was held out with a groin injury.
Steelers: Safety Karl Joseph left with an ankle injury, while CB Ahkello Witherspoon sustained a shoulder injury. ... Pittsburgh also held out RB Najee Harris (foot), WR Diontae Johnson (hip), WR Chase Claypool (shoulder), TE Pat Freiermuth (hamstring), RB Benny Snell (knee), LB Alex Highsmith (ribs) and OL Kevin Dotson (ankle) among others.
UP NEXT
Seahawks: Host Chicago on Thursday.
Steelers: Visit Jacksonville next Saturday.

Gallen dominates, Rivera 2 HRs, Rockies beat D-backs 2-0
Zac Gallen pitched two-hit ball over seven innings, Emmanuel Rivera went deep twice for his first career multi-homer game, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 6-0 on Saturday night.
Gallen (8-2) struck out six and extended his shutout streak to 14 innings over his past two starts. He gave up three hits in seven scoreless innings against Pittsburgh on Monday.
The Rockies managed just two singles and a walk against Gallen, who retired 13 of his last 14 batters. He is 4-0 in his last five starts and his ERA has dropped from 3.56 to 2.94 since July 13.
Alek Thomas made a great catch on the last play of the game to preserve the shutout, leaping and reaching over the wall in center to take away a likely two-run homer by C.J. Cron.
Rivera hit solo shots of 408 feet in the first inning and 403 feet in the third off José Ureña (1-4), his ninth and 10th homers of the season. He walked in the fifth, struck out in the seventh and grounded out in the ninth.
Josh Rojas had three hits, including a homer off Ureña in the fifth and an RBI single in the ninth.
Daulton Varsho made it 5-0 in the eighth when he tripled into the right-field corner and scored when Charlie Blackmon misplayed it for an error.
STEPPING IN
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was away from the team to attend the memorial service for Nicole Hazen, the wife of general manager Mike Hazen, who died this week of glioblastoma. Bench coach Jeff Banister served as acting manager.
Lovullo will rejoin the team in Denver for Sunday’s game.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rockies: Placed RHP Alex Colomé on the 15-day injured list with right lateral epicondylitis, retroactive to Aug. 12, and recalled right-hander Justin Lawrence from Triple-A Albuquerque.
UP NEXT
The Diamondbacks will send LHP Tommy Henry (1-1, 3.75 ERA) to the mound against Colorado RHP Ryan Feltner (2-3, 6.02) on Sunday.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Searching nonstop, the Wake County Sheriff's Office has more help than before in finding who is responsible for shooting and killing Wake County Deputy Ned Byrd.
Byrd, 48, was found dead early Friday morning in rural Wake County when the sheriff's office sent out other deputies to check on his welfare.
The K9 deputy was responding to a call near Battle Bridge Road Thursday night before he was found shot multiple times.
Byrd's police dog was found sitting alone inside his patrol vehicle, which to Sheriff Gerald Baker, suggests Byrd was caught off guard.
Saturday, Baker said the SBI and FBI are involved, helping scrutinize dashcam and surveillance video from a business nearby. They're also working to figure out a timeline with Byrd's latest locations and calls.
"Some of the imaging has been more defining and some not," Baker said. "What's going to be really pertinent is we're still waiting for more to come in. We're being patient, vigilant."
Byrd marks the sixth local deputy to be shot in the line of duty in the past month, and second deputy to be killed.
On Aug. 1, Sgt. Matthew Fishman and two other Wayne County deputies were shot while serving involuntary commitment papers. Fishman died the following day.
"Me and my wife continue to pray for the Wayne County deputy, and the Wake County deputy, and their families," Captain Kevin White at the Franklin County Sheriff's Office said.
On Saturday, Back the Blue NC set up in Louisburg to raise money for Fishman's family, but after the latest death on Friday, fundraising efforts included Byrd.
"The family of blue is a very tight family, and every time we lose an officer our hearts break," Lindsay LiCausi said. "To me (assault on officers) seems to be increasing. Six officers is just tremendous. In my opinion, I haven't seen this in a long time."
Without hearing from Byrd before he died, officials are piecing things together while the Wake County Sheriff's Office is kept in thoughts and prayers.
"It's particularly traumatic for those officers, and personnel for Wake County Sheriff's Office," Eddie Caldwell of the NC Sheriffs' Association said. "That's one of the reasons the association takes an active role, is we want to them to know that not only is their office dealing with it, but all the other 99 sheriffs; and their personnel are feeling their pain as well."
For Sheriff Baker, the adrenaline is up as they brace for more results, including possibly finding the killer.
"There's a part of you, that you have to be able to block a lot of things up," Baker said. "But nevertheless, we're still human. We're human beings trained to help other human beings in times of crisis, that's who we are. We're no different, no better. We have emotions, we have feelings, but we're trained to get this job done no matter what."
Baker did not confirm if there's only one suspect but said it will all come together at some point.
"Everyone's coming in to do everything they can," Baker said. | https://abc11.com/search-continues-deputy-killed-ned-byrd-wake-county-sheriffs-office/12123438/ | 2022-08-14T03:34:06Z | https://abc11.com/search-continues-deputy-killed-ned-byrd-wake-county-sheriffs-office/12123438/ | true |

Big city, huge stadium, important road matchup – that’s New Mexico United’s Sunday itinerary in Los Angeles.
With a full week of preparation under its collective belt, United will look to shake off a two-match losing streak when it takes on LA Galaxy II at 27,000-seat Dignity Health Sports Park.
It’s the beginning of a busy week for New Mexico, which returns home for matches against Memphis 901 FC and Monterey Bay FC on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively. It’s a chance for United to gain ground in the USL Championship’s Western Conference, where it stands in fourth place with 38 points. Third-place Colorado Springs has 42 points and is idle this weekend.
On the other hand, several teams are nipping at United’s heels, including Sacramento (37 points), El Paso (34), Las Vegas (33) and LA (31). New Mexico has gone 1-2-2 in its last five matches, leaving the door open for its pursuers in the chase for playoff positions.
“Colorado Springs is the team in front of us in the table and we’re focused on catching them,” United coach Zach Prince said. “We’re not looking back. We’ve got a tough matchup Sunday against an LA club with a ton of tradition, but we’re in fourth place and LA is in eighth. We need to go in with confidence, expecting to get three points.”
It’s something of an odd assignment for United (10-5-8), which has played its best soccer on the road this season. NMU is 7-1-3 away from home but cannot expect to draw much energy from a hostile crowd on Sunday.
Galaxy II ranks last in the USLC in home attendance at 325 fans per game and even that number may be inflated. The club has only reported attendance for two of its 10 home dates.
A sparse crowd figures to seem that much smaller in the cavernous stadium also used by the MLS LA Galaxy, but Prince does not see that as a problem.
“We kind of got used to playing without crowds during the COVID thing,” he said. “It’s a beautiful stadium and we’re excited to play there, no matter how people show up.”
Galaxy II (9-11-4) seems to have a similar outlook, having gone 6-3-1 at home this season.
Both teams could be a bit short-handed Sunday. Galaxy II will be without top scorer Preston Judd and defender Carlos Harvey, both of whom will be completing two-game suspensions. New Mexico could be without midfielder Justin Portillo, who suffered a concussion during United’s 3-0 loss to Miami on Aug. 6.
Prince said Portillo was feeling better during the week but declined to speculate on when he would clear the league’s concussion protocol or return to action.
“We have no timeline,” Prince said.
Portillo has been New Mexico’s top playmaker this season with 47 chances created. He takes the majority of United’s free and corner kicks and is 5-of-6 converting penalties.
Still, NMU has struggled to score goals of late and will look to break through against a struggling LA defense that has allowed 46 of them this season. United shots hit the post and/or crossbar four times in its shutout loss to Miami.
“We put ourselves in a lot of good situations, and I always have full confidence that we’ll score in those situations,” Prince said. “I don’t think there’s any sense of panic but there is a good level of urgency in our training sessions right now. It’s a results-oriented business and we’re focused on getting a positive result in Los Angeles.”
United will be looking for transition opportunities against Galaxy II, which thrives on possession and has the USLC’s passing leader in defender Liam Doyle. LA has been dangerous but erratic in terms of results. In its last five matches, Galaxy II has a 5-0 win over second-place San Diego, a 1-1 draw with first-place San Antonio and three losses in which it allowed a total of 11 goals. | https://www.abqjournal.com/2524305/united-galaxy-likely-to-be-shorthanded-for-showdown.html | 2022-08-14T03:49:45Z | https://www.abqjournal.com/2524305/united-galaxy-likely-to-be-shorthanded-for-showdown.html | true |

Can wearable tech really save your life?
Some people claim they can’t live without their tech. It keeps them connected, manages their life and provides entertainment. While the statement isn’t typically meant to be taken literally, for some, it’s not hyperbole.
Kim Durkee bought an Apple Watch for its fall-detection feature. But that’s not why it ended up saving her life. She credits the watch for notifying her of an irregular heartbeat she didn’t know she had. After initially ignoring the watch’s alerts, she went to the ER and was diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening condition.
In this article: Apple Watch Series 7, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and Fitbit Versa 2 Smartwatch
How did a watch save Kim Durkee’s life?
Durkee is an active 67-year-old who enjoys hiking. She purchased an Apple Watch to monitor her workouts and to summon help if she happened to fall while out on a trail. One night in late May, her Minnie Mouse-themed watch woke her up, alerting her that it had detected atrial fibrillation.
A-fib is a condition where the electrical signals that make your heartbeat become disorganized. As a result, the upper chambers squeeze very fast and fall out of sync, which creates a quiver, or fibrillation, in the atria. Hence the name atrial fibrillation.
According to the Mayo Clinic, episodes of A-fib may come and go or be persistent. For many people, these episodes pass unnoticed. While the condition itself isn’t usually life-threatening, the irregular rhythm can create an inefficiency that causes blood to pool and clot in the heart, which can lead to a stroke or other heart-related complications if it is not treated.
Durkee ignored the alert from her Apple Watch the first two nights. However, by the third night, the numbers were so high that she decided she needed a trip to the ER. If the doctors couldn’t find anything, she decided that she would toss the watch and move on with her life.
After several days of testing, the cause for her A-fib was determined to be a myxoma. A myxoma is a rare tumor that starts in the heart and can cause an obstruction that leads to various conditions, ranging from fainting to embolisms. However, in many individuals, these tumors are asymptomatic.
The only treatment for myxoma is surgical extraction. It took five hours of open heart surgery to remove the tumor completely. Without the early warning alert from her Apple Watch, Durkee is not so certain she would be alive today.
The progression of wearable tech
Early on, wearable tech was designed for convenience. For instance, in the mid-’70s, you could get a calculator watch. Many years later, in 2004, the Microsoft SPOT was released. This device could receive stock updates, weather, news, email and IMs, but the user could not respond.
In 2009, Fitbit introduced the world to a whole new way of thinking about wearable tech. Instead of just trying to be a smaller, more portable version of something else, this watch could do things that devices like your phone couldn’t because you wore it against your skin.
Now, the primary purpose of many smartwatches is to function as a health monitor. They keep track of various health-related data so they can alert you whenever something falls outside the normal performance parameters, whether it is sleep patterns, your heartbeat or blood oxygen levels.
What does an Apple Watch monitor?
While an Apple Watch is not meant to diagnose, it does provide data that your doctor can evaluate to help provide better health care. Here are some of the many things an Apple Watch can do.
- Help you set and achieve your fitness goals
- Track your workouts
- Filter out distractions to focus on fitness
- Keep activity stats
- Remind you to meditate
- Time your hand-washing sessions
- Track your menstrual cycle
- Track your sleep quality
- Monitor your respiratory rate while sleeping
- Monitor your heart rate
- Watch for irregular heart rhythms
- Check your blood oxygen levels
- Perform an ECG
- Monitor for falls
- Send an emergency SOS
When should I see a doctor?
The primary benefit of wearable technology like an Apple Watch is establishing a baseline. If you are wearing your watch daily, you know what normal data looks like for you. It is the change in that data that is the warning sign. This is because, as effective as the device is, it is still very limited in what it can do. But what it can do, it does well, so any changes, such as an irregular heart rhythm, should prompt you to seek medical attention. A smartwatch doesn’t replace a doctor. It alerts you to see one. If you are worried or your concern is affecting your quality of life, make an appointment to talk to your primary care physician.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Even though the Carolina Panthers are another day closer to announcing a starting quarterback before the beginning of the regular season, the first exhibition game did not do much to drastically change the status of the competition.
Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass and Baker Mayfield was solid aside from a fumbled snap in Carolina’s 23-21 preseason-opening victory Saturday at the Washington Commanders.
Even if Mayfield appears to be the favorite after the Panthers traded for him and based on training camp, neither he nor Darnold separated himself in the race that might still take some more time to be decided before Week 1, Sept. 11 against Cleveland.
“Our mentality is best suited to just put our heads down and go to work,” Mayfield said. “Just trying to improve each day, and the best man’s going to win.”
Mayfield started and completed four of seven passes for 45 yards. He scurried for 3 yards on one play and botched the exchange with center Pat Elflein just inside the red zone, contributing to the first drive stalling and ending with a field goal.
Darnold took over with Carolina in the red zone after a fumble by Washington’s Antonio Gibson and completed a play-action fade pass under pressure to Rashard Higgins for an 8-yard TD. Darnold went back out for a second drive, threw incomplete on third down and finished 2 of 3 for 16 yards.
“They were both in command,” coach Matt Rhule said. “Sam got us in the end zone, Baker led us down the field, so it looked like both guys played well in terms of production. We’ll go back and look and see where they are.”
Rhule has said he doesn’t want to rush into making the wrong choice.
“It’s just understanding doing everything that I can with every play that I have,” Darnold said. “That’s really all I focus on when I’m out there playing.”
Mayfield and Darnold operated an offense missing running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver D.J. Moore, who were among the Carolina players held out. Rhule said Moore was dealing with a sore shoulder.
There’s no QB competition in Washington for the first time in years, and Carson Wentz looked good in his debut for the franchise that played its first game as the Commanders.
In his first exhibition action with his third different NFL team in as many years, Wentz was 10 of 13 for 74 yards and led a 14-play, 82-yard drive that culminated in a touchdown run by rookie Brian Robinson Jr.
“It was good to get out here and not be booed and have some fun,” Wentz said. “It wasn’t perfect, but it was good to kind of get our feet wet a little bit offensively.”
QBS OF THE FUTURE?
The Commanders and Panthers each had a rookie quarterback who could be part of the future get some second-half snaps. Washington’s Sam Howell impressed more than Carolina’s Matt Corral.
Howell, once a projected top-10 pick who fell to the fifth round after his junior season at North Carolina, took over for Taylor Heinicke early in the third quarter and was 9 of 16 for 143 yards. He also juked out a few defenders on a 17-yard touchdown run, his first of two before a 2-point-conversion that put Washington up with 2:26 left.
Corral, a third-rounder out of Mississippi, entered in the fourth quarter and was 1 of 9 for 11 yards but also led the drive that ended with Zane Gonzalez’s 45-yard go-ahead field goal in the final minute.
GIBSON FUMBLING CONTINUES
Gibson fumbled on his second carry of the game, continuing a troubling trend that worsened last season. Gibson fumbled six times and lost the ball four of those times in 2021, his second NFL season, and his struggles to stay fully healthy led Washington to look for a running back high in the draft.
Robinson, that choice as a third-round pick out of Alabama, impressed in relief of Gibson. He rushed six times for 26 yards, including an 8-yard TD run, and caught two passes for 15 yards.
“I thought Brian kind of showed why we drafted him,” coach Ron Rivera said. “He’s got that downhill physical presence on the inside.”

Panthers: Visit the New England Patriots on Friday.
Commanders: Visit the Kansas Chiefs next Saturday.

sometimes you just feel the need to quit the pretense of objectivity:
by artappraiser on Tue, 04/19/2022 - 2:48am
Yes, I agree. But here I just ran across an excellent example of a media figure (Toobin) stoking political divisiveness and a geek type (Silver) pointing out that majority feelings on the issue are really bi-partisan:
I.E., Toobin's going: everthing is all about Trump's Republican party vs. Democrats and Silver is going: no this is about requiring masks.
Political pundits have a vested interest in stoking political diviseness over everything, that political affiliation is the main thing that divides society, is the main denominator....And here's arta's regular monthly reminder that actually, political Independents are basically the majority of the population.

"Libs of Tiktok" is a focus today as regards social media.One important question to ask: is this a pro pushing memes and trying to manipulate people, or is this just someone acting as the voice of a segment of the people from the bottom up, saying what they feel?
beginning excerpt:
On March 8, a Twitter account called Libs of TikTok posted a video of a woman teaching sex education to children in Kentucky, calling the woman in the video a “predator.” The next evening, the same clip was featured on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program, prompting the host to ask, “When did our public schools, any schools, become what are essentially grooming centers for gender identity radicals?”
Libs of TikTok reposts a steady stream of TikTok videos and social media posts, primarily from LGBTQ+ people, often including incendiary framing designed to generate outrage. Videos shared from the account quickly find their way to the most influential names in right-wing media. The account has emerged as a powerful force on the Internet, shaping right-wing media, impacting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and influencing millions by posting viral videos aimed at inciting outrage among the right.
The anonymous account’s impact is deep and far-reaching. Its content is amplified by high-profile media figures, politicians and right-wing influencers. Its tweets reach millions, with influence spreading far beyond its more than 648,000 Twitter followers. Libs of TikTok has become an agenda-setter in right-wing online discourse, and the content it surfaces shows a direct correlation with the recent push in legislation and rhetoric directly targeting the LGBTQ+ community [.....]

Elon Musk isn’t imagining things
This post has been very platform-centric because platforms are a convenient index.
But the ideological movement — not an overthrow of the party establishment by leftists, but the establishment leaders themselves taking on new ideas — is clearly visible in other forms. In June of 2016, Dylan Matthews wrote for Vox that “President Obama’s huge reversal on Social Security is a big win for liberals.” In July of that year, Victoria Massie wrote “Hillary Clinton said ‘systemic racism’ in tonight's speech. That's major.” On May 27 of 2020, David Roberts described a new consensus approach to climate policy on the left, and on May 28 he published a piece arguing that Joe Biden should embrace this consensus even though Biden “just won without them.”
You can see that both of those articles have July 2020 updates at the top noting that Biden had basically done what Roberts recommended and adopted the new progressive consensus. Pivoting left after winning a primary is a little odd, but it’s what Biden did, and progressives acknowledged it at the time.
There’s lots of room for debate about whether this was a good idea. But the people who yelled at Elon Musk that he was imagining this leftward transformation are being silly. The fact that DW-NOMINATE scores don’t pick up on it is a limitation of that metric — not to say that it’s wrong, but just that analysis of roll call votes only tells you so much.
Among Democrats, self-identified liberals started to outnumber self-identified moderates only in Obama’s second term. And at around that same time, mainstream Democrats started to embrace ideas that they would previously have shied away from.
That’s not a commentary on the wisdom of the ideas or of adopting them, but the shift pretty clearly happened. It’s very hard to reason clearly about the world if you don’t start by acknowledging the reality.

The bright side of Elon Musk's Twitter takeover - sharing the whole thing because it's so well reasoned -
by Hope King, author of Axios Closer, 4 hrs. ago
Some Twitter power users, including journalists and politicians, are apoplectic about Elon Musk’s planned takeover of the platform. But there are plenty of optimists, in tech and among the general public, who believe Musk could make Twitter better.
Why it matters: With the deal expected to close later this year, what happens on the platform and to the platform will likely shape both the 2022 midterms and the next presidential election.
State of play: Twitter has struggled as a public company. By taking it private, Musk could experiment more boldly because Twitter wouldn't have to live up to quarterly pressures to show results.
- Musk also has a huge following on the platform. He tweets a lot about product ideas and engages with feedback. And the people who support his takeover believe a leader who isn’t a “buttoned-up suit” could bring new energy and creativity.
- “I almost think of it as — imagine if MrBeast bought YouTube,” said Galileo Russell, HyperChange TV founder, referring to one of YouTube’s most popular creators. (Russell is also an investor in Tesla.)
The big picture: Musk's stance on "free speech" is driving a lot of the consternation. He says he wants less content moderation, and people are worried he may reinstate former President Trump's account.
- A lot of people — especially people who are already subject to a lot of online harassment — are worried about the prospect of Twitter loosening its moderation policies.
- "I'm not saying I have all the answers here, but I do think we want to be very reluctant to delete things, and just be very cautious with permanent bans," he said at the TED2022 conference two weeks ago.
What they're saying: "There is definitely a partisan divide," when it comes to who is happy or not about the deal, said Courtney Radsch, a fellow at the UCLA Institute for Technology, Law and Policy and a senior fellow at the Center for International Governance Innovation.
- "A lot of the people who are [very] concerned about Twitter are the people who are very invested in Twitter" and have spent many years building up their presence on the platform, she added.
Reality check: It will likely be impossible for Musk to apply a blanket policy about what can be said or shared. He'll certainly also fail at making everyone happy because what is considered acceptable free speech depends on who's in power.
- As high stakes as things are in the U.S., Twitter is a global platform. He'll realize pretty quickly that he'll have to moderate some content in order to stay available in many countries, Radsch said.
- On the other hand, if he decides to be the free speech absolutist he says he is, he could completely resist complying with national laws that try to restrict speech (like in Russia, Nigeria, India and Pakistan) or force him to moderate content (like in the EU).
- "Wouldn't that be an interesting experiment?"Radsch said.
Our thought bubble: Skepticism about how Musk will handle Twitter is warranted.
- Musk’s unpredictability makes it hard to trust him. And that unpredictability, from someone so wealthy and popular, also inspires fear.
- And while he has built multiple consequential companies, in fields that aren’t easy, the means through which he built them, as well as his personal behavior, have also warranted a yearning for him to be more responsible and "act like an adult."
- But social media as we know it is less than two decades old and it has a long list of problems. In about the same amount of time, Musk’s companies have helped electric cars become mainstream and gotten space rockets to land themselves back on Earth. The fact that he actually put together the financing to buy Twitter was a surprise to many observers too.
- So are we sure he can’t make Twitter better?
she links to this - among other things, and I think everyone should consider its political implications, that many people are not opposed to billionaires using their money this way! So all the sturm and drang attacks on billionaires that is favored by many liberals does not play that well with lots of people

Exclusive poll: Americans support removing troubling tweets, 23 hrs. ago, CHART AT LINK
Elon Musk is likely to find out that there's not a big market for his campaign for more free speech on Twitter, according to an Ipsos poll shared exclusively with Axios.
The big picture: Most Americans don't have a problem with Twitter or other social media companies removing posts that include misinformation, promote violence or pose a risk to the public, according to the poll.
- They're more likely to oppose the removal of posts that promote political action or contain heated political rhetoric.
By the numbers: 73% of all respondents said they support removing posts that probably have false information, with just 20% saying they oppose removing those posts.

I know the answer to this one:
they tried that all during the Geo. Floyd protests and riots in summer/fall 2020, they offered the Defund crew's narrative ad nauseum. Turns out only a tiny minority liked to hear that wacky narrative, especially by the time of Kenosha (prolly mostly elite white liberals?) Even liberal people ended up shutting off those channels and looked for alternates that offered real experts on policing and not those pushing a faux narrative emphasizing relatively small amount of police abuse. Most viewers were interested in information that might actually reduce crime and increase quality of policing and life in general, capiche? CNN and MSNBC learned their lesson and switched to real experts on policing and crime and stopped pandering to a tiny minority of grievance grifters selling a faux narrative

Trump hires former 9th Circuit judge Kozinski for Twitter court fight
By Jacqueline Thomsen and Mike Scarcella @ Reuters.com, July 1
A former California appeals court judge who retired in 2017 following allegations of sexual harassment is now representing former U.S. President Donald Trump in his legal battle with Twitter.
Ex-9th Circuit Appeals Court Judge Alex Kozinski on Friday filed to appear in Trump's appeal of a trial court order dismissing a lawsuit against Twitter (TWTR.N) over the former president's ban from the social media platform following the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Kozinski declined to comment. John Coale, the lead lawyer on the Trump case, said Kozinski was brought on to help due to his experience with the 9th Circuit, and that no other changes are expected for the legal team.
Kozinski in 2017 retired from the 9th Circuit, the federal appeals court that covers much of the western United States, after the court initiated an investigation into him following allegations of misconduct from former law clerks and other junior staffers [....]

NEW YORK — Trillions of insects migrate across the globe each year, yet little is known about their journeys. So to look for clues, scientists in Germany took to the skies, placing tiny trackers on the backs of giant moths and following them by plane.
To the researchers’ surprise, the moths seemed to have a strong sense of where they were going. Even when the winds changed, the insects stayed on a straight course, the scientists reported in a study published Thursday in the journal Science.
Their flight paths suggest these death’s-head hawk moths have some complex navigation skills, the authors said, challenging earlier ideas that insects are just wanderers.
“For many, many years, it was thought that insect migration was mostly just dictated by winds, and they were blowing around,” said lead author Myles Menz, now a zoologist at James Cook University in Australia.
It’s been tough for scientists to get a close look at how insects travel, in part because of their small size, Menz said. The kinds of radio tags used to follow birds can be too heavy for smaller fliers.
But transmitters have gotten tinier. And it helps that the death's-head hawk moth is huge compared to other insects, with a wingspan up to 5 inches.
The iconic species — dark colored with yellow underwings and skull-like markings — was able to fly well with the tiny tracker glued to its back, said Martin Wikelski, a study co-author and migration researcher at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior.
The moths are thought to migrate thousands of miles between Europe and Africa in the autumn, flying by night.
For the study, researchers released tagged moths in Germany in the hopes they’d start flying on their migration path toward the Alps.
OTHER NEWS: NASA: Give us back our moon dust and cockroaches
Wikelski, the study's pilot, took off in his plane, circling the area and waiting for any moths on the move. If he did pick up a signal from a tiny traveler, he would follow its radio blips for hours at a time.
“The little moth is guiding you,” he said.
The researchers followed the flight paths of 14 moths, with their longest track around 56 miles.
Not only did the moths fly in straight lines, but they also seemed to work around wind conditions, Menz said, flying low to the ground when the winds were against them, or rising up to catch a helpful tail wind.
Though the number of moths tracked was fairly small, getting any close-up look at insect migration is significant, said Ryan Norris, an insect and bird migration researcher at the University of Guelph in Canada, who was not involved in the study.
“I was surprised at how far they could track them,” Norris said. “And it certainly is surprising that individual moths stay on this straight trajectory." | https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/nation-world/scientists-use-tiny-trackers-plane-moths/507-8327fc35-a9c8-4eee-936c-9333b4fc2a40 | 2022-08-14T04:17:35Z | https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/nation-world/scientists-use-tiny-trackers-plane-moths/507-8327fc35-a9c8-4eee-936c-9333b4fc2a40 | false |
It’s the most quintessentially Sydney day on the city’s calendar; the world’s biggest fun run, a 14-kilometre romp through the eastern suburbs to the famous sands of Bondi Beach. For three years it has been missing in action, another pandemic casualty, and without it something of the city’s soul was quietly absent too.
The return of the City2Surf on Sunday was more than just the resumption of a running race – it marked the start of a comeback for the city proper, as we approach the end of a grey, mopey winter of rain, floods and another COVID wave.
Sixty-thousand starters got Sydney at its best: (mostly) blue skies, clear air and a glistening Port Jackson to admire from the top of Heartbreak Hill. At the finish line, the after-party started as early as could be, with queues snaking out of Hotel Bondi by 10.30am. And in the early afternoon the crowds swarmed toward a sold-out Sydney Cricket Ground for the Sydney Swans’ first sellout home game in five years.
After a few false starts, Sunday felt like the moment Sydney officially consigned the past few years to the dustbin.
“It’s great to see everyone doing things again, it’s a good vibe,” said Calum Treharne, 33, on the lawns of Bondi Beach after the race. “Summer’s coming and everyone’s running.”
He and his friends were heading to the unofficial after-party joint, the Beach Road Hotel, where multiple queues stretched around several blocks at 11am ahead of a Daft Punk tribute act later in the afternoon.
Nearing the front of the line, Laura and Zoe hadn't quite managed to enter the City2Surf, but they donned activewear and nicked their mates' medals to blend in with the crowd.
“We’re just here for the boys,” said Laura. Zoe added: “I think people have a renewed excitement to be together. Some friends were like ‘everything’s too busy now’.”
All over Bondi, every cafe, bar and snack stand was packed to the gills, and they spilled out onto the streets like the Rio Carnival.
Line honours were claimed by “Australia’s fastest electrician” Liam Adams in the men’s and Leanne Pompeani in the women’s. Adams clinched his third City2Surf title in 41 minutes and eight seconds, coming off the back of his fourth-place finish at the Commonwealth Games marathon in Birmingham.
“I thought the legs pulled up fairly well, I’ve been struggling a fair bit with jetlag over the last few days,” Adams said.
Pompeani crossed the finish line in 45 minutes and 43 seconds on her competitive debut, buoyed by the race’s carnival atmosphere along New South Head Road.
“You get some races where you get a lot of quiet time where you’re just in your own head, but here there was just music and crowds the whole way, people cheering for you,” she said. “So good.”
There may have been a three-year hiatus, but for the City2Surf entertainers, old habits die hard. So it was hello again to the synchronised dancers, the Hare Krishnas and the police band (a shout-out for Cake By The Ocean), the frontyard lemonade stalls, sidewalk DJs and the kid playing electric guitar from his Dover Heights balcony (everyone agreed: he was awesome).
Some Sydneysiders, like Navid Hasa, took the opportunity to enter the race for the first time. "I ran it without stopping, I was proud of myself," he said while cooling off with his friend Richard Li. "I kind of over-prepared for the hills."
Paddington was alive with runners and revellers heading to the SCG in the afternoon, with smart punters making their way through the gates early to nab a premium seat in the sold-out stadium.
A 3.20pm start under the slowly setting sun, and the Swans destined for the finals: this time there can be no doubt – Sydney is back, baby.

HOUSTON — New Orleans coach Dennis Allen wasn’t thrilled about his team’s overall performance Saturday night in the preseason against the Houston Texans.
Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass on his only possession in his debut with New Orleans, but the Saints fell to the Texans 17-13 after a touchdown in the final minute in the preseason opener for both teams.
Dalton, who joined the Saints after spending last season with the Bears, started with Jameis Winston out after he injured his foot in practice Monday.
“He did a nice job moving us down the field,” Allen said. “I thought he operated in the pocket well. We did a couple of good things in the run game. Andy did a really good job of operating the offense.”
Dalton was a perfect 5 for 5 for 51 yards. He threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Washington to put New Orleans up 7-0 early.
“That’s how you want the drive to go,” Dalton said. “We did some good things and were able to score once we got in the red zone. If you can draw it up, that’s how you do it.”
Houston quarterback Davis Mills was 3 for 3 for 14 yards in two drives where the team failed to get a first down.
The Texans are sticking with Mills as their starter this season despite a subpar rookie campaign when he played 13 games in the team’s dreadful 4-13 season.
“It’s a start,” coach Lovie Smith said. “We didn’t have a lot of production when our one offense was out there, but we got what we wanted accomplished with him. He’s healthy going into Game 2.”
Both teams featured the debut of new head coaches with Allen taking over for Sean Payton in New Orleans and Smith replacing David Culley for the Texans. Both Allen and Smith moved into the top job after working last season as their team’s defensive coordinator.
Jeff Driskel threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to rookie Johnny Johnson III in the final minute to lift Houston to the win.
The Texans cut the lead to 7-3 on a 49-yard field goal by Ka’imi Fairbairn late in the first quarter.
Houston took a 10-7 lead when Driskel connected with Jalen Camp on a 4-yard touchdown pass early in the second. That score came after Obo Okoronkwo recovered a fumble by quarterback Ian Book.
Camp had a 49-yard reception on Houston’s final drive to help set up the score.
The Saints tied it about two minutes before halftime on a 23-yard field goal by Will Lutz.
A 36-yard field goal by John Parker Romo put New Orleans up 13-10 early in the fourth quarter.
Receiver Chris Olave, taken 11th overall, and 19th pick left tackle Trevor Penning made their debuts Saturday night for New Orleans. Olave had one reception for 4 yards.
A bright spot for the Texans was the play of rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce, who had five carries for 49 yards. Houston is expected to start Marlon Mack, but Pierce is likely to also get carries this season as the team attempts to improve a running game that has been among the worst in the NFL for the past two seasons.
“Dameon has been impressive in practice and we expected him to come tonight and do some things that he did and just keep fighting,” Smith said.
Houston rookie safety Jalen Pitre, a second-round pick, had a solid debut with four tackles, including one for a loss.
Chase Hansen led the Saints with six tackles, including two for losses, and returned an interception 44 yards to set up a field goal in the second quarter.
It was one of three interceptions thrown by Driskel.
SITTING OUT
The Texans were without their two first-round draft picks with cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., taken third overall, and left guard Kenyon Green, the 15th pick, missing the game with injuries.
Stingley has been participating in practice but is being brought along slowly as he continues to recover from September surgery to repair a torn ligament in his foot. Green has missed practice time recently with a knee injury.
Stingley was a consensus All-America selection as a freshman in 2019 but was hampered by injury the past two seasons, including being limited to just three games last year at LSU because of the foot injury. Despite the setbacks, the Texans are confident that he’ll be able to step in early and help turn around a secondary that was among the league’s worst last season.

Ten airplanes owned or controlled by Russia are reportedly stuck in Germany because of sanctions. Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a warning to Russian soldiers shooting at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. Follow DW for more.
Almost six months after the closure of the EU airspace for Russian airplanes, ten aircraft owned or controlled by Russia are still in Germany, Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) reported on Sunday, citing the German Ministry of Transport.
"Since the planes are subject to a take-off and flight ban due to the EU sanctions regime, they cannot be used by the owner and cannot be taken to another location," the ministry was quoted as saying.
According to the report, there are three Russian Antonov AN-124 machines on the ground in Leipzig, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 and a Boeing 737 in Cologne, and a Boeing 747 in Frankfurt-Hahn. Another four aircraft are in Baden-Baden: a Cessna 750 Citation X, two Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 600 and a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS.
In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU closed its airspace for Russian airplanes in late February.
Here are the other main headlines from the war in Ukraine on August 14.
On Telegram, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that "every Russian soldier" who shoots at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant or attempts to use it as a shield "must understand that he is becoming a special target for our intelligence and special services, for our army."
He has also called on the West to impose sanctions against Russia's nuclear industry in the wake of the fighting over the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.
Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of firing on the plant following a series of recent incidents where the plant was shelled. Russia captured Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, in March shortly after it launched its full-scale invasion on February 24.
G7 nations have called for a withdrawal of Russia's forces from the plant, a request Russia has already rejected.
The Russian Foreign Office has said if the US seizes its assets, it could lead to a total breakdown in bilateral relations. Read this story and more from Saturday here.

DENVER (AP) — Journeyman Josh Johnson threw a pair of first-half touchdowns and the Denver Broncos beat the penalty-prone Dallas Cowboys 17-7 on a starless Saturday night that featured a steady rain for much of the second half.
Johnson, who's 36 years old and playing for his 14th NFL team, was signed in the offseason to compete with Brett Rypien for the job backing up new Broncos starter Russell Wilson.
Wilson sat this one out, as did Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, leaving the passing duties to backups.
Rypien was 8 of 18 for 113 yards. Cooper Rush got the start for Dallas and was 12 of 20 for 84 yards and an interception. Ben DiNucci (9 of 16 for 112 yards) finally got the Cowboys on the board with a 12-yard TD toss to Simi Fehoko with just under five minutes remaining, capping a 16-play, 95-yard drive.
The Cowboys committed a whopping 17 penalties for 129 yards 48 hours after Dallas' first-string offense was dominated by Denver's front-line defense in a chippy joint practice that featured a half-dozen skirmishes.
After yielding 17 second-quarter points, the Cowboys turned away Denver with a goal line stand on the Broncos' first drive after halftime when cornerback Kyron Brown broke up Rypien's pass to Darrius Shepherd on fourth-and-goal from the 3.
Only a handful of regulars started for each team, including Broncos inside linebacker Jonas Griffith, who injured his left elbow on the game's second snap and didn't return.
Johnson overcame a slow start to throw for 172 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-23 passing. He hit Seth Williams from a yard out and added a 24-yarder to Kendall Hinton. Williams' grab followed a 40-yard reception by rookie Brandon Johnson, son of former Colorado Rockies catcher Charles Johnson.
Brandon McManus sent the Broncos into halftime with a 17-0 lead by nailing a 52-yarder at the end of the first half.
The game marked Nathaniel Hackett's debut as an NFL head coach and the introduction of the Broncos' new Walton-Penner ownership group, which purchased the team from the Pat Bowlen Trust for a record $4.65 billion, and new team president Damani Leech.
P.J. Locke intercepted Cooper's fourth-and-2 pass from the Denver 38 in the first quarter and both of Dallas' QBs were sacked once.
Even though Wilson didn't play, the crowd was relatively large for a preseason game — 64,541.
TRAINERS ROOM
Cowboys: TE Ian Bunting (neck) sat out. He was injured in practice Thursday.
Broncos: CB Michael Ojemudia was evaluated for a concussion late in the first quarter.
COSTLY FLAG
McManus was wide right on a 57-yard attempt as the first half expired, but Dallas cornerback Kelvin Johnson was offside, setting up an untimed play, and McManus nailed it from 52 yards out.
Dallas K Lirim Hajrullahu was wide right on a 56-yard try early in the fourth quarter.
UP NEXT
Cowboys: Visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night.
Broncos: Visit the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

VIDEO: Spirit Airlines agent suspended over fight with customer
IRVING, Texas (WFAA) - A Spirit Airlines agent has been suspended after cell phone video captured a dispute between the agent and a customer, who allegedly called him racial and homophobic slurs.
Thomas Shannon, a professional cinematographer, was at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Thursday waiting to fly to Tanzania, where he is set to work on a documentary. He was at Panda Express when he heard yelling.
“I just dropped my food on the counter, run over as fast as I can, just to see what’s going on,” Shannon said.
Using his cell phone, Shannon captured video of an altercation between a male Spirit Airlines agent and a female customer. He later uploaded the video to Instagram.
The video shows the two yelling at each other before the woman pushes the agent. As another man tries to intervene, the argument escalates, with the woman hitting the agent, who then runs after her and hits her back. Throughout the video, the woman aims racial and homophobic slurs at the agent, who is Black.
“I think we need to have the dialogue of physical violence, safety at the airport, why airports are so dangerous,” Shannon said.
Since the video was uploaded, Spirit Airlines says the agent, who was employed through a local partner company, has been suspended.
As for Shannon, he says his video sparked a lot of discussion online.
“I would just encourage everybody to really have an honest conversation about this video and ask themselves what they would do, what they should do,” he said.
Spirit Airlines says it is aware of the incident and is cooperating with local law enforcement. There is no word yet if any charges will be filed.

Samsung says the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 will give it a leg up over rivals
By Jay Bonggolto published
Samsung's mobile chief says its foldable phones are luring more brand switchers than the Galaxy S line.
What you need to know
- Samsung is betting its future on the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip lines in a stagnating smartphone war with rivals.
- The company's mobile chief says its foldable phones are attracting more customers from other brands than its traditional flagship devices.
The smartphone market appears stagnating, but Samsung is confident that its latest range of foldable devices will give it a competitive edge over rivals in the future.
Roh Tae-moon, Samsung's chief of mobile business, has revealed that the company's foldable lines are luring customers away from other brands three times more than its Galaxy S flagship phones, according to The Wall Street Journal (opens in new tab). This means double-digit percentage of foldable shipments in 2021 thanks to brand switchers.
"We consider this to be a quite meaningful percentage and a positive sign," Roh was quoted as saying. "This is about switchers from other brands, not Samsung Galaxy device users switching to another Galaxy device."
Samsung's latest contenders for the best foldable phones were unveiled a few days ago to much fanfare. To woo even more switchers, the company offered great trade-in deals and cheap repair costs for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4.
While the handsets heavily borrowed from their predecessors' design, Samsung introduced a few nifty improvements. For example, the Z Fold 4 has a slimmer hinge, wider screen, and better cameras. The Z Flip 4 promises battery life improvements over the Galaxy Z Flip 3, among other enhancements.
Roh also revealed that Samsung's clamshell foldable line has done a better job of drawing in customers from other brands, while the Z Fold line has fared well in retaining customer loyalty. According to Roh, foldable phones have retention rates that are up to 10% higher than Galaxy S devices.
In a separate report (opens in new tab), Roh was quoted as saying that Samsung's foldables will eclipse Galaxy S shipments by 2025, adding that "foldables will become the new standard of smartphones."
Samsung's new foldable phone is better than ever, with an improved hinge design, much better cameras, and larger displays for better media handling. Preorder this folding beast today for some incredible savings.
Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now available, and you can personalize it with over 70 color options. Plus, with improved battery life and a much faster chip, you can get more out of your phone.

WASHINGTON — The biggest investment ever in the U.S. to fight climate change. A hard-fought cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients. A new corporate minimum tax to ensure big businesses pay their share.
And billions left over to pay down federal deficits.
All told, the Democrats' “Inflation Reduction Act” may not do much to immediately tame inflationary price hikes. But the package that won final congressional approval in the House on Friday and is heading to the White House for President Joe Biden's signature will touch countless American lives with longtime party proposals.
Not as robust as Biden's initial ideas to rebuild America's public infrastructure and family support systems, the compromise of health care, climate change and deficit-reduction strategies is also a stunning election year turnaround, a smaller but not unsubstantial product brought back to political life after having collapsed last year.
Democrats alone supported the package, as Republicans lined up against it. Republicans deride the 730-page bill as big government overreach and point particular criticism at its $80 billion investment in the IRS to hire new employees and go after tax scofflaws.
Voters will be left to sort it out in the November elections, when control of Congress will be decided.
Here's what's in the estimated $740 billion package — made up of $440 billion in new spending and $300 billion toward easing deficits— that is up for final approval Friday in the House.
LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS
Launching a long-sought goal, the bill would allow the Medicare program to negotiate some prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, saving the federal government some $288 billion over the 10-year budget window.
The result is expected to lower costs for older adults on medications, including a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for older adults buying prescriptions from pharmacies.
The revenue raised would also be used to provide free vaccinations for seniors, who now are among the few not guaranteed free access, according to a summary document.
Seniors would also have insulin prices capped at $35 a month.
HELP PAYING FOR HEALTH INSURANCE
The bill would extend the subsidies provided during the COVID-19 pandemic to help some Americans who buy health insurance on their own.
Under earlier pandemic relief, the extra help was set to expire this year. But the bill would allow the assistance to keep going for three more years, lowering insurance premiums for some 13 million people who are purchasing their own health care policies through the Affordable Care Act.
BIGGEST U.S. INVESTMENT ‘BY FAR’ IN CLIMATE CHANGE
The bill would infuse nearly $375 billion over the decade in climate change-fighting strategies that Democrats believe could put the country on a path to cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030, and “would represent the single biggest climate investment in U.S. history, by far.”
For consumers, that means tax rebates to buy electric vehicles — $4,000 for used vehicle purchase and up to $7,500 for new ones, eligible to households with incomes of $300,000 or less for couples, or single people with income of $150,000 or less.
Not all electric vehicles will fully qualify for the tax credits, thanks to requirements that component parts be manufactured and assembled in the U.S. And pricier cars costing more than $55,000 and SUVs and trucks priced above $80,000 are excluded.
There's also tax breaks for consumers to go green. One is a 10-year consumer tax credit for renewable energy investments in wind and solar.
For businesses, the bill has $60 billion for a clean energy manufacturing tax credit and $30 billion for a production tax credit for wind and solar, seen as ways to boost and support the industries that can help curb the country's dependence on fossil fuels.
The bill also gives tax credits for nuclear power and carbon capture technology that oil companies such as Exxon Mobil have invested millions of dollars to advance.
The bill would impose a new fee on excess methane emissions from oil and gas drilling while giving fossil fuel companies access to more leases on federal lands and waters.
A late addition pushed by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and other Democrats in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado would designate $4 billion to combat a mega-drought in the West, including conservation efforts in the Colorado River Basin, which nearly 40 million Americans rely on for drinking water.
HOW TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS?
One of the biggest revenue-raisers in the bill is a new 15% minimum tax on corporations that earn more than $1 billion in annual profits.
It's a way to clamp down on some 200 U.S. companies that avoid paying the standard 21% corporate tax rate, including some that end up paying no taxes at all.
The new corporate minimum tax would kick in after the 2022 tax year and raise more than $258 billion over the decade.
There will also be a new 1% excise tax imposed on stock buybacks, raising some $74 billion over the decade.
Savings from allowing Medicare’s negotiations with the drug companies is expected to bring in $288 billion over 10 years, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
The bill sticks with Biden’s original pledge not to raise taxes on families or businesses making less than $400,000 a year.
Yet money is also raised by boosting the IRS to go after tax cheats. The bill proposes an $80 billion investment in taxpayer services, enforcement and modernization, which is projected to raise $203 billion in new revenue — a net gain of $124 billion over the decade.
EXTRA MONEY TO PAY DOWN DEFICITS
With some $740 billion in new revenue and around $440 billion in new investments, the bill promises to put the difference of about $300 billion toward deficit reduction.
Federal deficits spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic when federal spending soared and tax revenues fell as the nation's economy churned through shutdowns, closed offices and other massive changes.
The nation has seen deficits rise and fall in recent years. But overall federal budgeting is on an unsustainable path, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which recently put out a new report on long-term projections.
WHAT'S LEFT BEHIND?
The package, nowhere near the sweeping Build Back Better program Biden once envisioned, remains a sizable undertaking and, along with COVID-19 relief and the GOP 2017 tax cuts, is among the more substantial bills from Congress in years.
While Congress did pass and Biden signed into law a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill for highways, broadband and other investments that was part of the White House's initial vision, the Democrats' other big priorities have slipped away.
Gone, for now, are are plans for free pre-kindergarten and community college, as well as the nation's first paid family leave program that would have provided up to $4,000 a month for births, deaths and other pivotal needs. Also allowed to expire is the enhanced child care credit that was providing $300 a month during the pandemic.

Fox Foxes
Fox Foxes Preview
FOX, Okla. (KXII) - The Fox Foxes find themselves in a tough position coming into the 2022 season.
Following a 2-8 season last year, the Foxes now must deal with another obstacle as they will be without head coach Brent Phelps who decided to step down from his position at Fox.
Yet, this team is staying resilient, keeping their focus on dominating the upcoming season.
“Man, life just kind of happens. You can take it negatively or you can take it positively. We’re just going to take it positively and roll it throughout our season and have a great season,” said defensive lineman Connor Armstrong.
“We’re going to push our hardest, we’re going to have no distractions and keep as much determination and equity as we can into this really,” added wide receiver Naveen Johnson.
As for the Foxes new head coach Michael Barnes, he plans on taking this program in a slightly different direction.
Barnes said, “I’m not going to derive a lot from what coach Phelps did. I mean I learned a lot from him, he’s a legendary coach and a good friend of mine but we’re going to do some of the same things and then some different too.”

Abortion clinics across Indiana are preparing to scale back their services or close entirely as a near-total ban on the procedure is set to go in into effect next month.
Although abortion remains legal for now, Senate Bill 1 – the first state-level ban passed after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade – will be in force Sept. 15.
The bill, which was signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb just before midnight Aug. 5, includes few exceptions: pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, with a 10-week time limit; pregnancies that threaten the life of – or pose a “serious health risk” to – the pregnant woman; and pregnancies in which the fetus is diagnosed with a lethal fetal anomaly, with a 20-week time limit.
The new law also will terminate the licenses of abortion clinics and will require all abortions to be performed at hospitals or hospital-owned outpatient surgical centers.
Many clinics – including Planned Parenthood’s Fort Wayne Health Center, which has remained open despite no longer providing abortion services in recent years – offer health care services other than abortion. However, the new law will result in the closure of at least one clinic in Indiana.
Sharon Lau, Midwest advocacy director of Whole Woman’s Health Alliance, said last week the organization’s lone Indiana location will continue to see patients and provide abortions until the ban goes into effect. After that, Whole Woman’s Health of South Bend, which opened only a few years ago, will not be “financially viable,” Lau said.
The South Bend clinic has performed an average of 361 abortions per year over the past two years, roughly 4.5% of all abortions in the state during that time.
Ensuring access
Rebecca Gibron, CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, emphasized that abortion is still legal in Indiana and said the organization’s legal team is working to analyze SB 1.
“What we’re doing right now is exploring every legal option available to stop this devastating outcome of having abortion being outlawed in the state,” Gibron said.
Planned Parenthood, which operates multiple abortion clinics in the state, would remain open to provide other services after the near-ban on abortions goes into effect.
Gibron said Planned Parenthood is the only source of medical care for 70% of the patients the organization serves.
“We provide a whole range of critical health care services outside of abortion,” Gibron said. “That includes birth control, gender-affirming hormone care, emergency contraception, wellness visits. Our health centers in Indiana will continue to provide those services in addition to providing any care we can to those looking for abortion.”
Lau and Gibron both said their organizations have programs to help patients who are forced to travel to other states after SB 1 goes into effect.
“We will do everything we can to get patients access,” Gibron said, “even if that means helping them leave the state to get abortion care.”
She said Planned Parenthood has prepared for this moment for a long time and that it is “built for this.” The organization has a patient navigation team to help advise and assist patients.
Gibron also recommended the website AbortionFinder.org, a searchable database of verified abortion providers around the U.S.
Whole Woman’s Health Alliance established its Wayfinder Program earlier this year, Lau said. And the organization works with established abortion funds and practical support networks.
“That program is basically a kind of internal travel agency where we will help patients with logistical support in booking flights or trains to get them to appointments in other states,” Lau said. “That is something we will continue to ramp up and, hopefully, it will be able to help Indiana patients travel to other states as well.”
The nonprofit has had to shutter its operations in Texas, where pre-Roe v. Wade laws restricting abortion are back in effect. It is in the process of opening a new clinic across the border in New Mexico, where abortion remains legal.
Lau said Whole Woman’s Health Alliance, which also operates clinics in Virginia, Maryland and Minnesota, is considering a similar strategy in Illinois.
“We’re looking at various options in Illinois and just trying to figure out where would be the best place,” Lau said.
‘Haven state’
With Indiana’s new ban and trigger laws banning abortion in states including Kentucky and Missouri, options for abortion care in the Midwest continue to narrow.
In Michigan, a legal battle continues over a 1931 law that would ban abortion in the state, the Associated Press reported earlier this month.
A constitutional amendment to affirm the right to abortion could be on the ballot in that state as well but, for now, the future of abortion access in Indiana’s neighbor to the north is unclear.
That leaves Illinois as the “one haven state of access” in the “vast desert” of the Midwest, Planned Parenthood of Illinois’ Julie Uhal said. She manages the organization’s expansion program SAFE – Securing Access For Everyone.
The potential fall of Roe v. Wade had been on Planned Parenthood’s radar since the 2016 election, Uhal said, so the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn that precedent in Dobbs v. Jackson earlier this summer was “not unexpected.”
“There were threats to protections for abortion access” throughout the Midwest, Uhal said. “So we have been preparing for this scenario for years, and have done a lot of work to increase our help center capacity in order to see patients who are forced to travel from other states to Illinois.”
In 2018, Planned Parenthood of Illinois opened the Flossmoor Health Center in a southern Chicago suburb a few miles from the Indiana border. The organization also operates a clinic in Waukegan, a similar distance from the border between Illinois and Wisconsin.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois has launched a partnership with its counterpart in Wisconsin to allow medical providers to get licensed in Illinois and work at the Waukegan clinic, Uhal said. As for similar plans with Indiana?
“Nothing that I can talk about at this time,” Uhal said. “But we certainly have ongoing conversations with them about how to best serve our patients.”
Crossing borders
Many Hoosiers already travel out of state for abortion services. Illinois, which has a law on the books protecting the right to abortion access, has fewer restrictions than Indiana – even now, before SB 1 is enacted.
An average of 1,903 Indiana residents received induced pregnancy terminations annually in Illinois from 2016 to 2020, according to data from the Illinois Department of Public Health. During that time, the Indiana Department of Health reported an average of 7,119 terminated pregnancies of Hoosiers in Indiana.
Restrictions in neighboring states have dramatically increased demand for abortions in Illinois. In the months leading up to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood clinics in Illinois saw around 100 out-of-state patients per month, Uhal said. After the ruling, that number rose to 750 in just one week.
“The increase has really been exponential, but we have been able to increase our supply at the same time that demand is increasing,” Uhal said. “So we’re able to meet those needs, and so far we have not seen too significant a change in wait times.”
Planned Parenthood’s projections estimate its Illinois clinics will see an additional 20,000 to 30,000 patients each year. Uhal said the organization’s plans to increase capacity are a “marathon, not a sprint.”
She said SB 1 will not reduce the demand for abortions among Indiana residents. That claim is borne out by data from Texas, which implemented a six-week ban last fall. The New York Times reported that two studies from researchers at the University of Texas showed the total number of Texans who received abortions declined by only 10% because many pregnant women traveled to clinics in nearby states or ordered medication online.
“Abortion bans and restrictions don’t stop people from needing abortions and from having them. They just make it more difficult to access,” Uhal said. “This disproportionately affects people that are the most affected by social inequalities.” | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/indiana/statehouse/indiana-abortion-providers-brace-for-ban/article_7de37cbe-19ba-11ed-84bd-2b9ca451c41f.html | 2022-08-14T05:13:07Z | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/indiana/statehouse/indiana-abortion-providers-brace-for-ban/article_7de37cbe-19ba-11ed-84bd-2b9ca451c41f.html | false |

Agent: Rushdie off ventilator and talking, day after attack
MAYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - "The Satanic Verses" author Salman Rushdie was taken off a ventilator and able to talk Saturday, a day after he was stabbed as he prepared to give a lecture in upstate New York.
Rushdie remained hospitalized with serious injuries, but fellow author Aatish Taseer tweeted in the evening that he was "off the ventilator and talking (and joking)." Rushdie´s agent, Andrew Wylie, confirmed that information without offering further details.
Earlier in the day, the man accused of attacking him Friday at the Chautauqua Institution, a nonprofit education and retreat center, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and assault charges in what a prosecutor called a "preplanned" crime.
An attorney for Hadi Matar entered the plea on his behalf during an arraignment in western New York. The suspect appeared in court wearing a black and white jumpsuit and a white face mask, with his hands cuffed in front of him.
A judge ordered him held without bail after District Attorney Jason Schmidt told her Matar, 24, took steps to purposely put himself in position to harm Rushdie, getting an advance pass to the event where the author was speaking and arriving a day early bearing a fake ID.

Sinema took Wall Street money while killing tax on investors
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona Democrat who single-handedly thwarted her party´s longtime goal of raising taxes on wealthy investors, received nearly $1 million over the past year from private equity professionals, hedge fund managers and venture capitalists whose taxes would have increased under the plan.
For years, Democrats have promised to raise taxes on such investors, who pay a significantly lower rate on their earnings than ordinary workers. But just as they closed in on that goal last week, Sinema forced a series of changes to her party´s $740 billion election-year spending package, eliminating a proposed "carried interest" tax increase on private equity earnings while securing a $35 billion exemption that will spare much of the industry from a separate tax increase other huge corporations now have to pay.
The bill, with Sinema's alterations intact, was given final approval by Congress on Friday and is expected to be signed by President Joe Biden next week.
Sinema has long aligned herself with the interests of private equity, hedge funds and venture capital, helping her net at least $1.5 million in campaign contributions since she was elected to the House a decade ago. But the $983,000 she has collected since last summer more than doubled what the industry donated to her during all of her preceding years in Congress combined, according to an Associated Press review of campaign finance disclosures.
The donations, which make Sinema one of the industry´s top beneficiaries in Congress, serve a reminder of the way that high-power lobbying campaigns can have dramatic implications for the way legislation is crafted, particularly in the evenly divided Senate where there are no Democratic votes to spare. They also highlight a degree of political risk for Sinema, whose unapologetic defense of the industry's favorable tax treatment is viewed by many in her party as indefensible.

Expanded IRS free-file system one step closer in Dems' bill
WASHINGTON (AP) - The flagship climate change and health care bill passed by Democrats and soon to be signed by President Joe Biden will bring U.S. taxpayers one step closer to a government-operated electronic free-file tax return system.
It´s something lawmakers and advocates have been seeking for years. For many Americans, it's frustrating that beyond having to pay sometimes hefty tax bills, they also have to shell out additional money for tax preparation programs or preparers because of an increasingly complex U.S. tax system.
"It´s definitely something we should do, and when the IRS is adequately resourced, it´s something that will happen," said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen at a June Senate Finance Committee hearing.
And now that the IRS is set to receive nearly $80 billion through the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act," the agency has the means to develop new systems to help Americans pay their taxes. The legislation passed Congress on Friday.
Several hurdles stand in the way. Even in a best-case scenario, it will likely take years to get a new, free system up and running. There's also pushback from commercial tax preparation companies, which question whether Americans want the IRS to prepare their taxes.

Praise, worry in Iran after Rushdie attack; government quiet
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iranians reacted with praise and worry Saturday over the attack on novelist Salman Rushdie, the target of a decades-old fatwa by the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini calling for his death.
It remains unclear why Rushdie's attacker, identified by police as Hadi Matar of Fairview, New Jersey, stabbed the author as he prepared to speak at an event Friday in western New York. Iran's theocratic government and its state-run media have assigned no motive to the assault.
But in Tehran, some willing to speak to The Associated Press offered praise for an attack targeting a writer they believe tarnished the Islamic faith with his 1988 book "The Satanic Verses." In the streets of Iran´s capital, images of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini still peer down at passers-by.
"I don´t know Salman Rushdie, but I am happy to hear that he was attacked since he insulted Islam," said Reza Amiri, a 27-year-old deliveryman. "This is the fate for anybody who insults sanctities."
Others, however, worried aloud that Iran could become even more cut off from the world as tensions remain high over its tattered nuclear deal.

Russian shelling heavy in east; Ukraine strikes key bridge
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Russia's military pounded residential areas across Ukraine overnight, claiming gains, as Ukrainian forces pressed a counteroffensive to try to take back an occupied southern region, striking the last working bridge over a river in the Russian-occupied Kherson region, Ukrainian authorities said Saturday.
A Russian rocket attack on the city of Kramatorsk killed three people and wounded 13 others Friday night, according to the mayor. Kramatorsk is the headquarters for Ukrainian forces in the country's war-torn east.
The attack came less than a day after 11 other rockets were fired at the city, one of the two main Ukrainian-held ones in Donetsk province, the focus of an ongoing Russian offensive to capture eastern Ukraine's Donbas region.
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed Saturday its forces had taken control of Pisky, a village on the outskirts of the city of Donetsk, the provincial capital that pro-Moscow separatists have controlled since 2014.
Russian troops and the Kremlin-backed rebels are trying to seize Ukrainian-held areas north and west of the city of Donetsk to expand the separatists' self-proclaimed republic. But the Ukrainian military said Saturday that its forces had prevented an overnight advance toward the smaller cities of Avdiivka and Bakhmut.

Italy's Lake Garda shrinks to near-historic low amid drought
SIRMIONE Italy (AP) - Italy´s worst drought in decades has reduced Lake Garda, the country's largest lake, to near its lowest level ever recorded, exposing swaths of previously underwater rocks and warming the water to temperatures that approach the average in the Caribbean Sea.
Tourists flocking to the popular northern lake Friday for the start of Italy´s key summer long weekend found a vastly different landscape than in past years. An expansive stretch of bleached rock extended far from the normal shoreline, ringing the southern Sirmione Peninsula with a yellow halo between the green hues of the water and the trees on the shore.
"We came last year, we liked it, and we came back this year," tourist Beatrice Masi said as she sat on the rocks. "We found the landscape had changed a lot. We were a bit shocked when we arrived because we had our usual walk around, and the water wasn´t there."
Northern Italy hasn´t seen significant rainfall for months, and snowfall this year was down 70%, drying up important rivers like the Po, which flows across Italy's agricultural and industrial heartland. Many European countries, including Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, the Netherlands and Britain, are enduring droughts this summer that have hurt farmers and shippers and promoted authorities to restrict water use.
The parched condition of the Po, Italy's longest river, has already caused billions of euros in losses to farmers who normally rely on it to irrigate fields and rice paddies.

What takes years and costs $20K? A San Francisco trash can
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - What takes four years to make and costs more than $20,000? A trash can in San Francisco.
That costly, boxy bin is among six trash cans hitting San Francisco's streets this summer in the city's long saga in search of the perfect can. Overflowing trash cans are a common sight in the Northern California city, along with piles of used clothes, shoes, furniture and other items strewn about on sometimes-impassable sidewalks.
City officials hired a Bay Area industrial firm to custom-design the pricey trash can along with two other prototypes that cost taxpayers $19,000 and $11,000 each. This summer, residents have the opportunity to evaluate them along with three off-the-shelf options added to the pilot program after officials faced criticism.
Last month, the city deployed 15 custom-made trash cans and 11 off-the-shelf trash cans - each of those costing from $630 to $2,800 - with QR codes affixed to them asking residents to fill out a survey. City officials said they intend to pay no more than $3,000 per can.
San Francisco began its search for the perfect trash can in 2018 when officials decided it was time to replace the more than 3,000 public bins that have been on the streets for almost 20 years.

8 Israelis wounded in Jerusalem shooting
JERUSALEM (AP) - A gunman opened fire at a bus near Jerusalem´s Old City early Sunday, wounding eight Israelis in a suspected Palestinian attack that came a week after violence flared up between Israel and militants in Gaza, police and medics said.
Two of the victims were in serious condition, including a pregnant woman with abdominal injuries and a man with gunshot wounds to the head and neck, according to Israeli hospitals treating them.
The shooting occurred as the bus waited in a parking lot near the Western Wall, which is considered the holiest site where Jews can pray.
Israeli police said forces were dispatched to the scene to investigate. Israeli security forces also pushed into the nearby Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan pursuing the suspected attacker.
The attack in Jerusalem followed a tense week between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Suspect in 4 New Mexico killings left trail of violence
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - In the six years since he resettled in the United States from Afghanistan, the primary suspect in the slayings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque has been arrested several times for domestic violence and captured on camera slashing the tires of a woman's car, according to police and court records.
The lengthy pattern of violence - which began not long after Muhammad Syed arrived in the states - has shocked members of the city´s small, close-knit Muslim community, some of whom knew him from the local mosque and who initially had assumed the killer was an outsider with a bias against the Islamic religion. Now, they are coming to terms with the idea that they never really understood the man.
"I think based on knowing his history now - and we didn´t before - he´s obviously a disturbed individual. He obviously has a violent tendency," said Ahmad Assed, president of the Islamic Center of New Mexico.
Police say Syed, 51, was acquainted with his victims and was likely motivated by "interpersonal conflicts."
He was arrested Monday night and remains in custody. Prosecutors say he is a dangerous man and plan to ask a judge next week to keep him locked up pending trial on murder charges in connection with two of the shooting deaths. Syed is also the primary suspect in the other two homicides, but police say they will not rush to charge him in those cases as long as he remains in jail and doesn´t pose a threat to the community. The married father of six has denied involvement in the killings; his defense attorneys have declined to comment.

Troubling questions unresolved in latest end to Till case
By her own telling, Mississippi authorities provided Carolyn Bryant Donham with preferential treatment rather than prosecution after her encounter with Emmett Till led to the lynching of the Black teenager in the summer of 1955.
Instead of arresting Donham on a warrant that accused her of kidnapping days after Till´s abduction, an officer passed along word that relatives would take her and her two young sons away from home amid a rising furor over the case, Donham said in a 2008 memoir made public last month. The sheriff would later claim Donham, 21 at the time, could not be located for arrest.
Once her husband and his half-brother were jailed on murder charges in Till´s death, she said in the unpublished manuscript, two men with the sheriff´s office drove her and her sister-in-law to the lockup for a relaxed visit outside their cell and even ferried the women back home. Later, before their murder trial, the men somehow were allowed to attend a family dinner without guards, she said.
"I was shocked! How in the world were they released from jail to come to eat supper with us? I didn´t see who dropped them off or picked them up to return them to jail, but we had a wonderful evening together," Donham recalled in the memoir, written by her daughter-in-law based on the older woman's words.
Nearly 70 years later, Donham´s retelling of the days surrounding Till´s abduction and lynching stokes fresh frustration among relatives of Till and activists pushing for Donham´s prosecution, particularly now that a Mississippi grand jury has decided against charging her with kidnapping in his abduction or manslaughter in his death. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11109893/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-14T05:34:15Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11109893/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
Ten years. An American, a veteran U.S. Marine, a man who became a foreign correspondent so his fellow Americans would know what was happening in Syria, has been missing for 10 years.
President Joe Biden knows about Austin Tice. So did President Donald Trump and President Barack Obama. Some of them engaged; none of them with apparent results.
Trump’s team said it had evidence Tice, who worked as a freelance correspondent for McClatchy before his capture, was alive and sent its hostage envoy to Damascus to gather information about him.
Biden’s team — after some prodding — agreed to allow Austin’s parents, Debra and Marc Tice, to meet with the president in early May.
In that meeting, the Tices say the president asked his team to get a meeting with the Syrians and find out what they want and to work with them to get Austin released. Three months later, and little has changed.
President Biden issued a statement this week calling on Syria to bring an end to Austin’s captivity and to work with his administration to bring him home.
“There is no higher priority in my Administration than the recovery and return of Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad,” the statement read. “We must name them, keep them in our hearts and minds, and make recovery and return a priority.”
Statements like these are encouraging, but words do not amount to action. We need to see actions and results.
If the U.S. government has evidence of Austin’s whereabouts and circumstances, it is beyond time to pull out all the stops to reach a solution. That starts with direct engagement with the Syrian government — not working through intermediaries or back channels.
For a decade, Austin Tice has been missing from family gatherings, from holidays and celebrations — from moments big and small. As a father and grandfather, my heart breaks for Debra and Marc Tice. They deserve better from their president, from this government.
To my colleagues in the press, do not let Austin Tice be forgotten. Keep asking tough questions and demanding answers until the administration takes action and makes his release a priority.
And to President Biden, step up and insist your team find a pathway to Austin’s release. BRING AUSTIN TICE HOME!

DENVER (AP) — The new Denver Broncos quarterback who wowed the crowd at Empower Field wasn’t Russell Wilson but jourrneyman Josh Johnson.
Johnson, who’s 36 years old and playing for his 14th NFL team, threw a pair of first-half touchdown passes and the Broncos beat the penalty-prone Dallas Cowboys 17-7 on a starless and rainy Saturday night.
“I’m just enjoying the ride, honestly,” Johnson said. “… I like to say for us backups, the preseason is the season.”
Johnson was signed in the offseason to compete with Brett Rypien for the job backing up Wilson, who sat this one out along with Cowboys QB Dak Prescott.
Rypien was 8 of 18 for 113 yards, including a 42-yard strike to Jalen Virgil from his own 1. Both Johnson and Rypien drew praise from new Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett, who won his NFL head coaching debut, albeit in a preseason game that won’t really count.
Cooper Rush got the start for Dallas and was 12 of 20 for 84 yards and an interception. Ben DiNucci (9 of 16 for 112 yards) finally got the Cowboys on the board with a 12-yard TD toss to Simi Fehoko with just under five minutes remaining, capping a 16-play, 95-yard drive.
The Cowboys committed a whopping 17 penalties for 129 yards 48 hours after Denver’s front-line defense got the better of Dallas’ first-string offense in a chippy joint practice that featured a half-dozen skirmishes.
“The penalties clearly were way too much,” Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said. “We’ll look at those … as far as the ones that were combative versus discipline. That’s clearly the biggest negative, but I’m actually excited to watch the tape. I want to see these young linemen, our run blocking unit. I think they stepped up and did some good things.”
Minus Ezekiel Elliott and most of the other starters, the Cowboys ran for 141 yards on 28 carries, a 5-yard average.
After yielding 17 second-quarter points, the Cowboys turned away Denver with a goal line stand on the Broncos’ first drive after halftime when cornerback Kyron Brown broke up Rypien’s pass to Darrius Shepherd on fourth-and-goal from the 3.
Only a handful of regulars started for each team, including Broncos inside linebacker Jonas Griffith, who injured his left elbow on the game’s second snap and didn’t return. Hackett had no update after the game.
Johnson overcame a slow start to throw for 172 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-23 passing. He hit Seth Williams from a yard out and added a 24-yarder to Kendall Hinton. Williams’ grab followed a 40-yard reception by rookie Brandon Johnson, son of former Colorado Rockies catcher Charles Johnson.
Brandon McManus sent the Broncos into halftime with a 17-0 lead by nailing a 52-yarder at the end of the first half.
The game also marked the introduction of the Broncos’ new Walton-Penner ownership group, which purchased the team from the Pat Bowlen Trust for a record $4.65 billion, and new team president Damani Leech.
Even though Wilson didn’t play, the crowd was relatively large for a preseason game — 64,541.
FLAG FOOTBALL
Here was the stat line for Dallas at the start of the fourth quarter:
Rushing yards — 106
Passing yards — 118
Penalty yards — 119
TRAINERS ROOM
Cowboys: TE Ian Bunting (neck) sat out. He was injured in practice Thursday.
Broncos: CB Michael Ojemudia was evaluated for a concussion late in the first quarter.
COSTLY FLAG
McManus was wide right on a 57-yard attempt as the first half expired, but Dallas cornerback Kelvin Johnson was offside, setting up an untimed play, and McManus nailed it from 52 yards out.
Dallas K Lirim Hajrullahu was wide right on a 56-yard try early in the fourth quarter.
GROUNDED GAME
The Broncos didn’t play running backs Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon, and their backups were held to just 39 yards and a 1.8-yard average.
“Yes, it’s always great to win, but in the end we’ve got a lot of work to do,” Hackett said. “That run game was not good enough. … We’re not going to be able to consistently win without getting that run game going.”
BROWNING BRILLIANT
Baron Browning moved from inside linebacker to outside linebacker this offseason and had a solid camp. On Saturday night, he had a sack, a pass breakup, three tackles and a quarterback hit.
“He was around the quarterback quite a bit,” gloated Hackett.
UP NEXT
Cowboys: Visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night.
Broncos: Visit the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

Cab drivers working through ride hailing platforms are banding together to lobby for better working conditions as they fear the industry may soon collapse.
The drivers are setting up a cooperative and have already had interest from hundreds of their fellow chauffeurs working in the gig economy.
“If we don’t do something soon there won’t be many Maltese drivers left in this sector and those left in the industry will be working in increasingly poor conditions. It’s just getting worse and worse,” driver Aron Gatt told Times of Malta.
The cooperative will represent drivers of Y-plate cabs used on ride hailing platforms such as Bolt and Uber, a recent entrant to the market, as well as ride sharing apps such as Cool. It will not include white taxis, which have long had their own representation successfully lobbying authorities in the past.
Drivers working on apps, however, say they are being squeezed dry and are unable to lobby for change individually.
Flanked by other platform drivers, Gatt says that when he was first approached to work in the sector, it seemed attractive.
So much so that he made a hefty investment as do most drivers on the service.
He could pick his own hours and the returns seemed reasonable.
But fellow driver Ritianne Attard says that while the passenger market – the number of people looking for rides – has only grown marginally, the number of drivers has ballooned.
As drivers compete for an ever-shrinking slice of the same pie, they have to spend longer hours on the road to make the money they had first made working “humane” hours.
“We are getting to a point where some drivers are working very long shifts – even 18 hours behind the wheel – to make enough,” Attard said.
Drivers also face the possibility of abusive customers.
Complaints to the respective platforms are often ignored and persistent drivers have been blocked from being able to work through the app, they said.
The drivers also want to introduce basic quality standards.
“To get a permit to operate you are supposed to have been driving in Malta for five years. But we are hearing stories of drivers who don’t even know where parts of the country are. We are saying we have to have standards in this sector,” Attard said.
The drivers were inspired by the recent action taken by food couriers who protested against salaries and working conditions.
Food couriers went on strike last month saying they are only paid €2.10 per delivery and only manage to make around 10 deliveries per day, working 11-hour long days.
Despite their objections, couriers working with one of the leading platforms, Bolt food, will not be earning more money per delivery, the company confirmed this month.
Cab drivers hope that by uniting they will be able to lobby for better conditions. They will also be able to lobby the authorities and file complaints on behalf of drivers with the police.
Drivers interested in joining the fledgling cooperative can send an email on cabs.cooperative@yahoo.com or call on a dedicated mobile number 79350631.

How COVID Warped Our Sense of Time
How the pandemic has skewed our sense of weeks and years and days.
I’ve always had a good memory, at least in an autobiographical sense. In my little group of old-time friends, I’m the one everybody calls when they can’t remember who it was that threw up on the bus in fourth grade. (Shout-out, Abby G.!) I’m the one who, 33 years on, can still sing the entire (problematic) chorus to the song we learned about the Civil War. In my family, the joke is that I remember my own birth, which isn’t accurate but is pretty close, and I can tell you not only every embarrassing thing I’ve ever said or done, but where I was, who I was with and what I was wearing when I said or did it. It’s a gift.
Given all that, it’s been wildly disorienting to realize that everything that’s happened for the past two and a half years is an absolute muddle in my brain. What did we do for Christmas last December? When did my firstborn lose his first (and second, and third) tooth? Did we really go 16 months without seeing my parents?
Some memories from these pandemic years are sharply vivid; others feel as hazy as an old film reel, more like impressions of having done things than memories of actually doing them. Almost all of them are untethered from anything like chronology, just bobbing around together in a two-year-old pandemic stew.
COVID has warped my sense of the passage of time in deeper ways, too. The past few years have dragged on for eons, for lifetimes. Is it possible that once, I didn’t grab a mask every time I left the house? I can hardly fathom it. And yet pre-pandemic 2019 feels so recent. For instance: That summer, I drove to Brooklyn to celebrate my friend’s 47th birthday. I haven’t been to New York since. Every detail feels fresh, crisp and defined — we ate hoagies (mine was tuna); we drank rosé in the park; his dog was a menace. If you asked, I’d swear under oath it was last summer. But wait, no. This summer, we celebrated my friend’s 50th. So: Time has flown, yet that same time has crawled. Time has lost all meaning.
A friend with whom I’ve talked about this sensation recently sent me a snippet of a book she’s reading — the latest Sally Rooney novel, published in 2021. In the excerpt, one character is writing to another during lockdown:
Is this how it’s going to be for the rest of our lives? Time dissolving into a thick dark fog, things that happened last week seeming years ago, and things that happened last year feeling like yesterday.
“So it’s very much NOT just us,” my friend noted. But I knew it wasn’t just us, because almost everyone you talk to about this topic can offer up some personal temporal weirdness. One friend describes putting on shirts he bought in 2018 and still thinking of them as new. (“Only I also worry they’re out of style,” he says.) A neighbor told me she can’t remember when it was that she started drinking every day or when she stopped drinking every day, only that both these things happened during the pandemic. Another friend told me that while she was planning her daughter’s birthday party, the girl matter-of-factly mentioned that this was her third COVID birthday. No, no, my friend told her: It was her second. “And then I realized, oh my God, it is her third COVID birthday. It’s like my brain didn’t want to believe it. Too distressing to think about that passage of time.”
I get that, especially as it relates to our kids’ lives. In addition to the everyday “They’re growing up too fast” cliché, there’s this new sense that these years are somehow exempt from the normal laws of time and memory — that all of it is in danger of being lost to the thick dark fog.
Intellectually, this doesn’t track, I know. Time itself doesn’t change; this isn’t the Twilight Zone. And thanks to COVID’s many disruptions, I’ve actually spent extra (extra, extra) time with my children. We haven’t lost memory-making moments; we’ve gained them. And yet there it is, this nagging notion that one day, I’ll look back on these strange years like a coma patient who’s finally come out of it: It was 2019, and then — blink, blink — it’s suddenly 2023, and, man, what a long, weird dream I had.
Human beings have always understood that our brains play tricks on us when it comes to how we experience the passage of time — how it flies when we’re having fun, how watched pots never boil and so forth. “The days are long, but the years are short,” people tell new parents, and that certainly feels true, though “it’s been the reverse of that during COVID,” one mom recently remarked to me. That also feels true.
But what’s surprising once you delve even a little into the science here is just how easily our perception of time can be toyed with, and how much more than just boredom or busyness comes into play. Ever been in a car wreck and felt like those five seconds lasted for five minutes? A famous neuroscientist named David Eagleman (who is, I should note, not just neuroscience-famous, but New York Times best-selling author-famous and host of Emmy-winning PBS series-famous) looked into this phenomenon some 15 years ago. He wondered whether that sensation maybe had to do with the brain taking in more information than usual in those busy, fraught moments. To test this, he took human subjects and dropped them off a 15-story amusement-park tower in Texas. As they plunged 150 feet into a net below, they were asked to respond to computerized prompts.
What he found was that people’s brains responded normally during the fall. There was no Matrix moment; they didn’t process any more information falling than they did just standing there. After the fall, however, when asked to use a stopwatch to show how long the drop felt, people had an average guess of four seconds — 36 percent longer than the actual 2.6-second drop. The “slowing” of time, Eagleman realized, wasn’t in the moment itself, but in the memory of the moment.
Time and memory are deeply intertwined, he would write: Our brains use memories to decide how much time has gone by. In a dire situation, your brain tends to kick itself up a notch to record every bit of new “data,” every detail. And replaying so much new data in your brain leads you to conclude that more moments must have passed than actually did. This principle doesn’t just apply to scary or emotional events, either. Remember how summer lasted forever when you were a kid? When you’re young, everything is new, Eagleman points out. And all that new, dense and unfamiliar data gives the impression of time just taking longer. In other words? Novelty makes time slow down.
Fascinating, right? That’s what journalist, designer and filmmaker Matt Danzico thought, too. Danzico grew up in Scranton but currently lives about six hours in the future, in Barcelona. He’s done fascinating work for the Discovery Channel, BBC News and NBC (among others), and he’s covered everything from the pandemic’s effect on American politics to transportation in India to, yes, time perception. In 2013, he produced a fascinating video short titled An Exercise in Time Perception — you can still watch it on TED-Ed — but his interest in the topic started a few years before that, when he actually met David Eagleman. The two hit it off and got to talking about Eagleman’s work. It gave Danzico an idea. He was about to celebrate his 29th birthday. If he did something new, something novel, something unusual every day, could he manipulate his perception of time to make his 29th year the longest of his life? Put off 30 a little longer?
Danzico called the project “The Time Hack” and set about finding a fresh experience every day for a year. He recorded and posted it all. One day he got in the ring with a professional boxer; another day, he took a class at trapeze school. He walked barefoot in the snow; he lay down on a road; he fed a donkey; he put a Whoopee cushion on a stranger’s chair. Stuff like that. On a spreadsheet, he recorded the activity and what “type” of experience it was — exhausting? Jarring? Uncomfortable? Intellectual? He also recorded two times: His post-activity guess at how long he had spent doing said activity, and then the actual time he had spent. And guess what? At the end of the year of doing a novel thing virtually every day, the time he had perceived doing those activities was indeed longer than the time he actually spent doing them, to the tune of an extra 14 hours, 43 minutes and 29 seconds.
“Put another way,” he wrote at the wrap of his time-hacked year, “I squeezed 4.6 percent more time out of these activities.” And put yet another way?
“I lived .17 percent longer than other humans on Earth in 2011.”
Fast-forward to today, two years and change into COVID times, and Danzico laughs on the phone with me. There was a little media blitz around his project at the time, he says. “And I remember being a young whippersnapper, all pompous, all ‘I have lived the longest year ever recorded in human history,’” he says. Truth is, he adds, he also felt a bit like he’d missed out on his 29th year, seeing as he was so busy building his days around things like getting an enema (“jarring”) and eating a blowfish (“uncomfortable”).
Speaking of the longest year in human history, though: Can we talk about the news cycles? In news-time, we’ve aged decades since 2020. Believe me, I have the eye bags and crow’s-feet to prove it. If you’re talking about processing new data and how that slows our perception of the passage of time, it’s amazing any of us feel like time has moved at all. There’s been the virus, its casualties, the quarantines, the endless vaccine rollouts, the conflicting instructions. There’s also been the racial justice movement, a mad king in the White House, and the data tornado that accompanied him. Also: an attempted coup, a presidential election, a war in Europe, refugee crises, Supreme Court dysfunction, one devastating gun rampage after another, Roe, and more than enough Elon Musk for all our lifetimes. And hey, points out Bloomberg’s Tyler Cowen, doomscrolling — the natural outgrowth of all this — also distorts our sense of how much time has passed. So does PTSD, by the way.
It’s true, affirms neuroscientist Luke Jones: The sheer number of things that have happened almost definitely has contributed to the sense that the pandemic has dragged on for longer than two years. Jones is in high demand these days as head of the Time Perception Lab at the University of Manchester, in England. Most of what he deals with is people’s perception of duration. Over a Zoom call, he tells me, firstly, that we should understand there are different ways to think about how we estimate the passing of time. There’s prospective timing, which involves knowing in advance that some event will happen and knowing that you’ll need to estimate how long that event lasts. “This has been studied extensively in a lab,” Jones says — and doesn’t relate very well to real life, in part because it usually involves short durations. He’ll have subjects listen to two tones that might differ in length by just a tenth of a second, for example. “And you can easily tell which is longer,” he says, because humans are exceedingly good at this type of time perception. When we’re talking COVID, though, it’s more about retrospective timing — essentially, looking backward and inferring how much time has passed by weighing the amount of stuff that happened in that period. Like Danzico; like Eagleman’s free-fallers.
And so yes, retrospectively, the feeling that the pandemic has crawled very likely does have to do with how much has happened news-wise. But simultaneously, there’s another way our brains measure time, Jones tells me: Temporal orientation refers to the mental milestones of when things happen — what day it is, what month, what season. “We instinctively have a feeling about that,” he says, “and that tends to be based on regular things that happen. You always go see Auntie on Wednesdays; you go to the museum on Tuesday nights.”
Many of our temporal orientations got messed up because our routines got messed up. This was especially true during lockdown. So if you’re thinking retrospectively about how much has happened, “On one hand, it’s been a lot,” Jones says, and the years have felt long. “But at the same time, there’s been a lack of activity. You didn’t meet up for your birthday. Christmas was different. Halloween was different. Summer vacations and graduations didn’t happen.” In the temporal-orientation sense, you can see why 2019 feels fairly recent.
Sure, this seems paradoxical, Jones acknowledges. But no: “You can hold both thoughts at the same time, depending on what you’re thinking about.” Which inner clock are you using?
And by the way, blame our altered temporal orientation when it comes to the brain fog that’s descended on so many of us. “It’s bizarre,” Jones admits. “And it’s hard to find anything else like it.” There is one thing he can think of, though: the annual gap between Christmas and New Year’s. You know — that window when everything and everyone feels like a timeless blob? “This is the same thing,” Jones says, “though stretched over a two-year-period.”
But wait, wait! There’s more! Another factor to consider is how we judge the passage of time as we’re experiencing it — those “time flies” vs. “time crawls” perceptions. You can work out how quickly (or not) time will seem to pass to people based on two factors, Jones says: One is how relevant time is at that moment, and the other is how certain or uncertain it is. So say you’re lazing in Clark Park, happily reading a book with nowhere to be. Time has little relevance, and it will seem to go quickly — or, more accurately, you’ll have a non-experience of time, Jones says. It won’t exist for you until that moment when you check your phone and — whoa! It’s been two hours! If you’re an introvert who loved the extra downtime during lockdown (weirdo), those early days of COVID likely raced by for you.
Now, Jones suggests, imagine that you’re done reading and you have to catch a train. You need the train to be on time because you’re on your way to the airport. Time is thus highly relevant. If the train system is reliable and you feel certain of when the train is going to arrive, your sense of the passage of time will be average, Jones says — normal. But if transit service is unreliable? If you’re uncertain when or if that train will come? (Imagine that, Philly!) Well, there you are, “pacing up and down, looking at a clock, with no idea when that train is going to arrive,” Jones says. The train will seem to take forever.
And if that’s not an apt metaphor for the past two years — pacing, hoping, waiting for the freaking train to just get here already — I don’t know what is.
It will be interesting, I think, to see how we remember these times way down the road. Assuming we get there, I mean.
When the fog has dissipated, when the train has come in, when the car wreckage has been cleared away, will more time spent on this Earth put these years and their memories back into their rightful places? I still think of my childhood summers as blissfully long, even though I know they were no longer than summers are today. And those go by too fast.
But summer is still here, and that’s reassuring. There are, as ever, 365 days in a year: the bad years, the good years, the years when the bad and the good bleed together so much that it hurts to think about it and hurts not to think about it. Sunrise and sunset; one season following another, the song goes. Or the other song, the one from Rent that I’ve been humming nonstop ever since I started writing this story: “Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes … ” All present, if not accounted for.
It’s neat what our brains do to that passing time in order to make sense of this world and the memories we store while we’re in it. I particularly like what Danzico offers at the end of his TED-Ed video by way of a lesson to take away from all this. “If you get up and engage with the world and have new experiences,” he says, “you will literally perceive your own life” — and he means at the end, on your deathbed — “to have lasted for a longer period of time.” And isn’t that what we all want? A long (-seeming) life filled with rich memories. Less Netflix, more Whoopee cushions. Or something like that.
Maybe another lesson to take from these COVID years is a reminder that time truly is what we make it. That’s been the case for Jones. “I’m more inclined to say yes to things now,” he says, this man who understands time better than most of us. “Before, it was ‘Can I be bothered to do X, or Y, or Z?’ Now, it’s yeah, I can be bothered.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Teofimo Lopez made a triumphant return to the ring, stopping Pedro Campa in the seventh round Saturday night at Resorts World Events Center.
Lopez made his debut as a 140-pound junior welterweight in his first fight since suffering the only loss of his career.
Moments after putting Campa on the canvas at the start of the seventh, Lopez (17-1, 13 KOs) obliterated his outmatched opponent with a flurry of punches, prompting referee Tony Weeks to stop the fight at the 2:14 mark.
“I am grateful for this, I have returned,” Lopez said.
Campa dropped to 34-2-1.
The 25-year-old Lopez looked much more like the promising young fighter who captivated the world when he beat Vasily Lomachenko to claim the unified lightweight championship in 2020.
Campa, who relies on a straight-forward approach and hard-firing punches, struggled to land much, as Lopez stayed active throughout the fight and displayed impeccable defense.
On the attack, Lopez was much faster and crisper with his punches, landing 52% of his power punches, per CompuBox.
“I got to work a little bit more on some things, but overall it was good,” Lopez said of his performance. “It’s been a while. There was a lot on my mind. I nearly almost died (in) the last fight, so that was weighing on my mind, I had to clear it out.
"Going in there, I’m not afraid to die, but the last thing I want to do is not have my son have a father.”
It was only nine months ago Lopez hit a career low when he lost as a huge favorite to George Kambosos Jr. by split decision.
But the loss to Kambosos in New York City on Nov. 27 was later overshadowed by the news he fought with a condition called pneumomediastinum and had extensive air in the retropharyngeal space, per a report by ESPN, something he didn’t learn about until after suffering his first-ever loss.
“That was weighing on my mind, but I had to get that guy out, somehow, someway,” the Brooklyn fighter said.
Leading up to the seventh, Lopez was the aggressor, staying in pursuit and consistently peppering Campa’s face while absorbing shots and shaking off apparent ring rust.
Lopez appeared to back off in the fourth and fifth a bit, perhaps logging rounds while preserving energy, but returned to an active role and landed several combinations in the sixth.
“Little by little those punches are gonna add up and eventually it’s gonna hurt them,” Lopez said. “It may not do it right away, but in due time it’ll get them out.
“This is a blessing, man. Time is something we don’t get back.”
Earlier, Xander Zayas (14-0, 10 KOs) stopped Elias Espadas (22-5) in the fifth round, delivering a devastating right hook to the jaw to claim the vacant WBO NABO junior middleweight title.
The 19-year-old from Puerto Rico was dominant from the start, scoring a knockdown in the first round, then using sharp combinations to wear down Espadas over the next three rounds before ending the fight with 2:36 left in the fifth round.
Per CompuBox, Zayas, who threw 60 punches per pound, landed 42% of his power punches while 27 of the 86 punches he landed were to the body. | https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Teofimo-Lopez-scores-7th-round-TKO-over-Campa-in-17372270.php | 2022-08-14T06:03:27Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Teofimo-Lopez-scores-7th-round-TKO-over-Campa-in-17372270.php | false |

Experts are sounding the alarm about the danger of leaving classified and even top secret U.S. government documents unattended and unprotected at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and golf resort— for months.
The sensitive papers could have been accessed by club members, staff and scores of unscreened guests at wedding receptions, parties and fundraisers — at least until they were ordered locked up in June by U.S. officials.
Some of the retrieved boxes of information that all legally should have been held by the National Archives since Trump left office were reportedly kept in a storage room near a club pool regularly used for club events.
In 2019, when security was far stricter during Trump’s presidency, a Chinese national loaded down with several phones and other electronic equipment was arrested at the club. She bypassed security by saying she was going to the pool.
“Just the retention of highly classified documents in improper storage — particularly given Mar-a-Lago [with] the foreign visitors there and others who might have connections with foreign governments and foreign agents — creates a significant national security threat,” former Department of Justice official Mary McCord told Reuters.
A former U.S. intelligence officer told the wire service: “It’s a nightmarish environment for a careful handling of highly classified information. It’s just a nightmare.”
FBI agents on Monday removed 20 boxes of documents with 11 sets of classified information and some top secret information from Mar-a-Lago, according to the warrant and property receipt used by the FBI to conduct the search.
The top secret information is supposed to be held only in a secure government facility. The Washington Post reported that some of the classified documents involved information about nuclear weapons, which was a key reason for the urgent search.
In light of his cache of government documents, Trump is under investigation for possible violations of the Espionage Act, which prohibits Americans from spying or mishandling defense information, including sharing it with those not authorized to receive it, according to the warrant.
Trump has a reputation for being sloppy about handling sensitive information. He blurted out highly classified information about a planned Islamic State operation to Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and ambassador Sergei Kislyak during a meeting in the Oval Office early in his presidency.
U.S. officials told The Washington Post that Trump’s disclosure jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
Trump also examined intelligence reports and openly discussed a response to a reported North Korean missile test while dining outdoors at Mar-a-Lago with Japan’s then-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2017 — while fans used their cell phones to take photos
“What we saw was Trump be so lax in security that he was having a sensitive meeting regarding a potential war topic where non-U.S. government personnel could observe and photograph,” Mark Zaid, a lawyer who specializes in national security cases, told Reuters. “It would have been easy for someone to also have had a device that heard and recorded what Trump was saying as well.”
Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly told The Washington Post in an article Saturday that Trump was disdainful of the system of classified security secrets.
“His sense was that the people who are in the intel business are incompetent, and he knew better,” Kelly said. “He didn’t believe in the classification system.” | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/experts-security-danger-top-secret-mar-a-lago_n_62f82a45e4b0288b61a51ab0 | 2022-08-14T06:21:17Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/experts-security-danger-top-secret-mar-a-lago_n_62f82a45e4b0288b61a51ab0 | true |
The world is in a climate crisis - and a unique installation for the West Coast is hoping to document it.
A development application has been lodged with the West Coast Council for a climate change 'black box', with the proposed location off the Lyell Highway near the Queenstown airport.

A joint project from proponents including Revolver, Glue Society and the University of Tasmania and more, the black box will be designed to record hundreds of data sets, measurements and interactions relating to the health of the planet, the application outlines.

"Similar to the cock-pit voice recorder on an airplane, Earth's Black Box will also record every major speech, media headline, peer reviewed article, and tweet in relation to climate change, in order to give crucial context to the data," the DA supporting document reads.
"The ultimate aim is for the Earth's Black Box initiative to last countless generations and become a symbol of our species' quest for survival."
This will all take place in an installation 16 metres long and four metres high, consisting of three key compartments surrounded by three layers of steel and concrete. The roof will be made up of 36 solar panels, underneath layers of toughened glass.
West Coast Council general manager David Midson said this was the kind of project that could only happen in a "remote and wild" area such as the West Coast.
"The West Coast is a part of the world where you can see history, not just in human timescales but geographical ones," he said. "In that context, I think this fits really well."
He said there could be a perception that regions with as strong of an industrial history or focus as the West Coast could be seen as detached from conversations and awareness around climate change.
That wasn't an accurate assessment, he said.
"We produce 25 per cent of the state's renewable energy, and we have many more trees than we have people. We're producing the minerals we need to power the green energy revolution.
"We might be industrious and get on the with the job, but the work we do here is really contributing to climate action."
The DA can be viewed on the council website until August 22.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jesús Murillo scored early in the second half and Los Angeles FC did all its damage after intermission to pick up its sixth straight victory in a 5-0 rout of Charlotte FC on Saturday night.
Murillo gave LAFC (17-4-3) the lead for good in the 49th minute. José Cifuentes scored — his seventh — unassisted 10 minutes later and then assisted on Carlos Vela's eighth goal in the 73rd for a 3-0 lead. Cristian Arango's team-high 12th goal of the season made it 4-0 three minutes later.
LAFC's final score came on an own-goal by Charlotte (9-14-2) defender Anton Walkes in the second minute of stoppage time.
Maxime Crépeau made two saves to earn a clean sheet for LAFC. Kristijan Kahlina saved four shots for Charlotte, which has lost two straight and four of its last five.

José Abreu stood on first with one out, having reached on an infield single in the seventh inning Saturday against the Detroit Tigers.
Yasmani Grandal flied out to the warning track in center and Abreu tagged up and raced for second.
The Chicago White Sox veteran made it to the bag just ahead of Riley Greene’s throw. The Tigers challenged the call, but it stood after a video review.
“He’s a good baserunner, excellent baserunner,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “If his legs feel good, he’s got a little extra gear there he gets to. That’s heads-up knowing the situation.”
The hustle paid off when Andrew Vaughn followed with a single to center. Abreu scored, giving the Sox the lead on the way to a 6-4 victory in front of 29,458 at Guaranteed Rate Field.
“It’s huge,” Vaughn said of Abreu’s running to get into scoring position. “(Abreu’s) not a very fast guy, but he knows baseball. And he knew, ‘Hey, if I can get into scoring position right here.’ You don’t even have to ask him. That’s exactly what he did. It’s the little things sometimes.
“I got a good pitch to hit. A little slider down (against reliever Joe Jiménez), kind of miss-hit it, but it went through the hole and it worked.”
The Sox fought back from an early two-run deficit to take their second straight in the weekend series. Vaughn had the big hit in both games.
“He’s going to have a serious winning career,” La Russa said. “He rises to the occasion. And smart enough to know that a lousy single is all it takes a lot of times. Very smart player and he’s got talent to match.”
Vaughn broke a scoreless tie Friday with a two-out, two-run single in the seventh to help the Sox to a 2-0 victory.
There was plenty of scoring early Saturday.
Abreu had an RBI with a sacrifice fly in the first. The Tigers took the lead with three-run double by Greene on a ball left fielder Eloy Jiménez appeared to overrun near the warning track.
The inning was set up by a ball-four call on a full-count pitch from Sox starter Lucas Giolito to Kerry Carpenter that according to MLB Statcast was in the zone.
“I got a little (ticked) off after the second inning,” Giolito said. “It was a big pitch that inning on a 3-2 count that I thought was as strike, I would have liked. Could have made the inning go a lot different. But that’s baseball. I could have done a better job limiting damage that inning.
“But I was angry. A lot of times when you’re angry, it can turn into frustration. That takes you out of it. But I made it a point to channel it into aggression toward executing pitches. And (I) started finding a rhythm in the fourth, fifth inning and carried it through seven.”
Sentinel Sports Final
The Sox tied the game with two runs in the second, but the Tigers regained the lead on an Eric Haase RBI double in the third. Giolito (9-6) allowed just one more hit the rest of his outing, a single in the seventh. He allowed four runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts and one walk in seven innings.
“Yasmani did a nice job recognizing what their approach was,” Giolito said. “We backed off the changeup and started pouring heaters in there. So it ended up working very well.”
The Sox tied the game in the fourth on Jiménez’s RBI single. They took the lead thanks to Abreu’s running and Vaughn’s hitting in the seventh.
AJ Pollock added insurance with a solo homer in the eighth, and Liam Hendriks struck out Greene with two on and two outs in the ninth for his 25th save. The Sox pulled within 2 ½ games of the first-place Cleveland Guardians and one game behind the second-place Twins in the American League Central.
Abreu’s running sparked the win.
“He’s a leader by example,” Giolito said. “So when he’s out there playing his (butt) off, doing the little things right, giving the extra effort, just so we have a chance to scratch another run across, it’s uplifting.
“I think it’s motivation for every single guy watching it in the dugout, on-deck circle, to really lock it in. I saw it from the dugout and gave me that feeling, ‘All right, we’re fighting here, and let’s go win this game.’” | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ct-chicago-white-sox-detroit-tigers-20220814-y2n6j4e6e5d5xlvntqoi47xkpi-story.html | 2022-08-14T06:39:40Z | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ct-chicago-white-sox-detroit-tigers-20220814-y2n6j4e6e5d5xlvntqoi47xkpi-story.html | false |
Kenny Pickett threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Vaughns with 3 seconds to play as the host Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 32-25 Saturday night.
Pickett, Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in 2022, is competing with Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph to replace retired two-time Super Bowl winner Ben Roethlisberger as the Steelers’ starting quarterback.
Roethlisberger guided the franchise for 18 seasons and led the Steelers to three Super Bowl appearances.
Pickett, a former University of Pittsburgh standout, played the second half and finished 13 of 15 for 95 yards and two touchdowns. He was sacked, forcing a turnover on downs, but had a chance to win the game when Pittsburgh’s Mark Robinson sacked Seattle’s Drew Lock and forced a fumble on the next play.
Pickett responded with a five-play, 43-yard drive capped by his touchdown pass to Vaughns. He received a loud ovation and chants of “Kenny, Kenny, Kenny” when he first took the field in the third quarter and before the eventual winning drive.
Lock and Geno Smith are competing to replace Russell Wilson as Seattle’s starting quarterback after Wilson was traded to Denver in the offseason. It’s the first true quarterback competition for the Seahawks since 2012, when Wilson won the job as a rookie.
Smith and Lock didn’t have DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett on Saturday. Smith played the first half, going 10 of 15 for 101 yards and a rushing touchdown. Lock was 11 of 15 with 102 yards and two scores, but lost a crucial fumble that led to Pittsburgh’s winning touchdown.
All three Steelers quarterbacks threw touchdown passes. Trubisky and Rudolph threw TD passes in the first quarter, before Pickett converted on his first NFL series and led the Steelers on a winning drive.
Trubisky, who played most of the first quarter, finished 4 of 7 for 63 yards with a touchdown. Rudolph ended the half, going 9 of 15 for 93 yards and a score.
Rams 29, Chargers 22: Third-string quarterback Bryce Perkins threw a pair of touchdown passes to Lance McCutcheon as the Los Angeles Rams held off the Los Angeles Chargers in a preseason game in which most of the starters did not play.
Perkins, a former Virginia Cavaliers star, played the entire game with Matthew Stafford and John Wolford not dressed. He completed 9 of 16 passes for 126 yards and also finished as the Rams’ leading rusher with 39 yards on eight carries, including a 1-yard TD midway through the third quarter.
McCutcheon, who has drawn rave reviews from Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp during training camp, finished with five receptions for 87 yards. He also had a reception for a 2-point conversion following Perkins’ rushing touchdown.
Following a Chargers three-and-out, Perkins connected with McCutcheon for a 60-yard touchdown up the left sideline to give the Rams a 14-7 lead with 5:17 lead in the second quarter. McCutcheon got leverage over Chargers safety Deane Leonard, caught the pass at the Chargers’ 29-yard line and then avoided a tackle attempt from JT Woods before scoring.
With the score tied at 22 in the fourth quarter, McCutcheon caught an 11-yard TD pass in the right corner of the end zone to put the Rams on top with 6:17 remaining.
The Chargers had the ball late in the fourth quarter and were driving to tie the game when Easton Stick’s pass to Michael Bandy was picked off by Daniel Isom at the Rams’ 8 with 27 seconds remaining.
Stick and Chase Daniel each played one half as Justin Herbert watched the game from the sideline.
Daniel threw for a pair of first-half touchdowns. The Chargers received the opening kickoff and scored in nine plays as Joe Reed, a U.Va. product, split the Rams’ secondary and hauled in a 41-yard TD pass less than four minutes into the game.
Broncos 17, Cowboys 7: Journeyman Josh Johnson threw a pair of first-half touchdowns as host Denver beat penalty-prone Dallas amid a steady rain for much of the second half.
Johnson, who’s 36 years old and playing for his 14th NFL team, was signed in the offseason to compete with Brett Rypien for the job backing up new Broncos starter Russell Wilson.
Wilson sat this one out, as did Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, leaving the passing duties to backups.
Rypien was 8 of 18 for 113 yards. Cooper Rush got the start for Dallas and was 12 of 20 for 84 yards and an interception. Former James Madison star Ben DiNucci (9 of 16 for 112 yards) finally got the Cowboys on the board with a 12-yard TD toss to Simi Fehoko with just less than five minutes remaining, capping a 16-play, 95-yard drive.
The Cowboys committed a whopping 17 penalties for 129 yards 48 hours after Dallas’ first-string offense was dominated by Denver’s front-line defense in a chippy joint practice that featured a half-dozen skirmishes.
Only a handful of regulars started for each team, including Broncos inside linebacker Jonas Griffith, who injured his left elbow on the game’s second snap and didn’t return.
Johnson overcame a slow start to throw for 172 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-23 passing.
The game marked Nathaniel Hackett’s debut as an NFL head coach and the introduction of the Broncos’ new Walton-Penner ownership group, which purchased the team from the Pat Bowlen Trust for a record $4.65 billion, and new team president Damani Leech.
Bears 19, Chiefs 14: Patrick Mahomes threw for 60 yards and a touchdown on Kansas City’s first possession, then watched as the Chiefs lost in Chicago.
The game was the first for Chicago’s Matt Eberflus as a head coach. It also marked the return to Soldier Field for predecessor Matt Nagy, now the Chiefs’ quarterbacks coach. He was fired in January after leading the Bears to a 34-31 record in four seasons, then reunited with Andy Reid after previously working for him in Philadelphia and Kansas City.
Chiefs safety Justin Reid showed he could be an emergency kicker, nailing an extra point after Justin Watson caught a 22-yard touchdown from Shane Buechele in the closing seconds of the first half. Reid, who made a 65-yard field goal in a training-camp practice, sent the kick right down the middle to make it 14-0.
Mahomes had no trouble playing on a chopped-up field. He picked apart a defense missing its two best players, with linebacker Roquan Smith in a contract standoff and the Bears holding out star pass rusher Robert Quinn.
Mahomes completed 6 of 7 on a 72-yard drive after Chicago went three-and-out on the game’s first possession. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback dumped the ball off to Blake Bell for a 5-yard TD, capping an 11-play possession — then called it a day.
Chicago’s Justin Fields, trying to build on a shaky rookie season, was 4 of 7 for 48 yards.
Bills 27, Colts 24: Matt Ryan can finally put the Falcons behind him.
Whether it was seeing his name on the back of a No. 2 Colts jersey hanging in his locker, or completing his first attempt — a 6-yarder to tight end Kylen Granson — the 37-year-old quarterback feels as if his transition to Indianapolis is complete.
“I’m part of this team and there’s 30, 40 other guys that it was their first time playing with the Colts today,” Ryan said. “We all got it under under our belt for the first time. And I think all of us, that entire group of new guys here, is going to feel a lot better heading into next week.”
The Colts can begin feeling more comfortable following Ryan’s debut, which reflected many of his pass attempts: relatively short and efficient.
With Von Miller and the rest of the Bills’ starting defense sitting out, Ryan finished 6 of 10 for 58 yards, with two of his incompletions coming on fourth down. More importantly, the 15-year veteran didn’t commit a turnover while showing a nimbleness in the pocket by avoiding a defender to hit Michael Pittman in stride on a crossing route for a 17-yard completion.
Tyler Bass made a 46-yard field goal as time expired as Buffalo scored on three consecutive possessions in the final 8:10 to rally from a 14-point deficit. Matt Barkley oversaw the comeback in finishing 18 of 24 for 224 yards, with former Virginia Tech standout Raheem Blackshear rushing for touchdowns of 1 and 3 yards over a span of 4:19 to tie the game.
Buffalo won its ninth straight preseason outing, which ranks as the NFL’s second-longest active streak behind the Baltimore Ravens who have won a league-record 21 in a row.
Buffalo committed five turnovers, including four in the first half.
“It was good to see us come together a little bit as a team and play better complementary football in the second half,” said Bills coach Sean McDermott, a William & Mary graduate. “Obviously, the turnovers and penalties in the first half can’t happen.”
With Buffalo resting Josh Allen and its starting offense, the struggles fell on backup Case Keenum, who threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.
Texans 17, Saints 13: Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass on his only possession in his debut with New Orleans, but the Saints fell in Houston after a touchdown in the final minute.
Dalton, who joined the Saints after spending last season with the Bears, started with Jameis Winston out after he injured his foot in practice Monday.
Dalton was 5 for 5 for 51 yards. He threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Washington to put New Orleans up 7-0 early.
Houston quarterback Davis Mills was 3 for 3 for 14 yards in two drives where the Texans failed to get a first down.
The Texans are sticking with Mills as their starter this season despite a subpar rookie campaign when he played 13 games in a 4-13 season.
Both teams featured the debut of new head coaches, with Dennis Allen taking over for Sean Payton for New Orleans and Lovie Smith replacing David Culley for the Texans. Both Allen and Smith moved into the top job after working last season as their team’s defensive coordinator.
Jeff Driskel threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to rookie Johnny Johnson III in the final minute to lift Houston to the win.
A 36-yard field goal by former Hokie John Parker Romo put New Orleans up 13-10 early in the fourth quarter.
Receiver Chris Olave, taken 11th overall, and 19th pick left tackle Trevor Penning made their debuts Saturday night for New Orleans. Olave had one reception for 4 yards.
A bright spot for the Texans was the play of rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce, who had five carries for 49 yards.
Dolphins 26, Buccaneers 24: Miami third-stringer Skylar Thompson threw for 218 yards and one touchdown to help Miami win a road game.
Jason Sanders kicked four field goals, including a 53-yarder that put the Dolphins ahead for good with just less than seven minutes remaining.
Kyle Trask drove the Bucs into position to potentially win the game, but Jose Borregales’ 49-yard field-goal attempt hit the right upright and bounced away as time expired.
With Tom Brady taking what Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles described as a pre-planned break from training camp for personal reasons, Trask and No. 2 quarterback Blaine Gabbert shared playing time against the Dolphins.
Most of the starters from both teams, including Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and key offseason acquisition Tyreek Hill, had the night off after the clubs scrimmaged against each other for two days earlier in the week.
The Bucs announced Thursday that Brady, who practiced the previous day against the Dolphins, will not rejoin the team until after next weekend’s preseason game at Tennessee.
Sentinel Sports Final
Gabbert, a 12th-year pro who backed up Brady the past two seasons, started Saturday night and worked two series. His 23-yard touchdown pass to Jaelon Darden gave the Bucs an early lead. Trask extended it by completing five of six passes for 67 yards on a long drive Ke’Shawn Vaughn finished with a 1-yard scoring run.
Trask followed that up with a pair of costly turnovers: an interception on an ill-advised pass intended for rookie running back Rachaad White, and a fumble that Miami linebacker Sam Eguavoen returned 32 yards for a second-quarter TD.
The Dolphins also converted the interception into points, with Thompson tossing a 22-yard TD pass to Lynn Bowden Jr.
Thompson played the entire game, finishing 20 of 28 with no interceptions. Trask played the final three quarters for Tampa Bay, going 25 of 33 for 258 yards, one interception and one touchdown.
The only Tampa Bay player listed as a starter on the depth chart who played was former James Madison player Aaron Stinnie, a Charlottesville native who’s competing for the left-guard opening created by Ali Marpet’s retirement. | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/vp-sp-nfl-roundup-saturday-games-20220814-o3ihsubva5dr3j2vykhrzpk3k4-story.html | 2022-08-14T06:40:13Z | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/vp-sp-nfl-roundup-saturday-games-20220814-o3ihsubva5dr3j2vykhrzpk3k4-story.html | false |
Reports: 1 dead, 17 hurt in crash outside Pennsylvania bar
BERWICK, Pa. (AP) - One person has died and another 17 people were injured after a vehicle struck a crowd gathered at a Pennsylvania bar on Saturday for an event to raise money for victims of a house fire that killed 10 earlier this month, authorities said.
WNEP-TV said the crash occurred outside the Intoxicology Department bar in Berwick at about 6:15 p.m. It said police and emergency medical personnel were on the scene attending to multiple injured people.
The Pennsylvania State Police said in a statement that a male suspect is in custody awaiting criminal charges.
The bar was holding a fundraiser for those touched by an Aug. 5 blaze that killed seven adults and three children in nearby Nescopeck, the station reported.
The circumstances surrounding Saturday evening’s crash were not immediately clear, including whether there was any connection to the Nescopeck fire or the fundraising effort.
The first funerals for victims of the fire were held Friday, and more were scheduled for Sunday and Monday. Authorities have said the fire’s cause remains under investigation.

HONOLULU (AP) — Lt. Gov. Josh Green on Saturday won the Democratic primary for Hawaii governor, defeating U.S. Rep. Kaiali’i Kahele and former Hawaii first lady Vicky Cayetano.
Green has served as second-in-command to Hawaii Gov. David Ige for the past four years. Prior to that, he was a state senator and representative. Green was a doctor in rural areas on the Big Island before entering politics. He has continued working part-time as a physician while in the state Legislature and as lieutenant governor.
Green developed a following during the COVID-19 pandemic for his explanations of infection rates and trends and hospital treatment capacity.
The state’s largest unions have endorsed his candidacy, including the Hawaii Government Employees Association and the Hawaii State Teachers Association.
Green was born in Kingston, New York, and grew up in Pittsburgh. He moved to Hawaii with the National Health Service Corps in 2000.

Green would be Hawaii’s second Jewish governor if elected, after former Gov. Linda Lingle.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
HONOLULU (AP) — The candidates running in Saturday's primary election to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. David Ige include a former first lady, a retired mixed martial arts champion and a congressman who moonlights as a Hawaiian Airlines pilot.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Kaiali‘i Kahele's decision to run for governor has opened up his congressional seat representing rural Oahu and the Neighbor Islands. In the U.S. Senate, incumbent Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz is also up for reelection and is facing a primary challenge from a little-known candidate.
Hawaii is a vote-by-mail state so voters have been mailing their ballots and placing them in drop boxes across the islands since late last month. Election clerks in each county have made a few voter service centers available for people registering to vote at the last minute or voting in person.
In the governor's race, the leading Democratic candidates are Kahele, former Hawaii first lady Vicki Cayetano and Lt. Gov. Josh Green. On the Republican side, former Lt. Gov. James R. “Duke” Aiona, retired MMA fighter BJ Penn and Honolulu City Councilperson Heidi Tsuneyoshi are in the running.
Ige has served two four-year terms and is ineligible to run again. The winner of the Democratic primary would be the favorite to win the general election in the liberal state.
Many voters say Hawaii's high housing costs are a top issue for them. The median price of a single-family home is over $1 million in Honolulu, Maui and Kauai counties.
Cayetano said she would build rent-to-own housing and work with the counties to streamline requirements impeding affordable housing construction. Green said he would issue an executive order to eliminate red tape and streamline approvals and enforce existing laws to shut down illegal vacation rentals. Kahele said he would build targeted workforce housing and impose a vacancy tax.
Aiona said he would eliminate the state Land Use Commission, which he blamed for slowing housing development.
Herbert Rowland, an Oahu construction worker, said he likes Green's plans for tacking Hawaii's housing problem and homelessness.
“I’m from this island, been here all my life. I don’t want my children to move off this island because it’s too expensive and they can’t find a house,” Rowland said while holding a Green campaign sign and waving at passing cars in Honolulu.
Large numbers of travelers and “overtourism” overwhelming popular sites are another major issue. Annual visitors to Hawaii hit a record 10 million in 2019. Numbers plummeted early during the COVID-19 pandemic but have since come roaring back.
Green proposed charging all travelers over the age of 12 a $50 fee. He said this would raise $350 million to $400 million that the state could use to restore parks, shorelines and build housing. Cayetano endorsed such a fee and said eliminating illegal vacation rentals was a good first step.
Kahele said Hawaii needs to reimagine tourism with a focus on Indigenous knowledge, the aloha spirit and culture.
Aiona said fees would be good if they're used to maintain parks and trails but he urged caution because the higher costs could deter visitors who fuel Hawaii's economy.
Kahele and Cayetano questioned income Green received while lieutenant governor from a limited liability company called Green Health International LLC. Green, who has continued in his emergency room doctor side job while lieutenant governor, said the money was for work he performed as a physician.
Kahele drew attention this year for his own side job as a Hawaiian Airlines pilot and his heavy use of proxy voting in Congress. Like everyone who’s voted by proxy, he submitted a required letter attesting he was “unable to physically” vote at the Capitol. He cited “the ongoing public health emergency.”
Mona Chang Vierra, a teacher, principal and educator, said she liked Cayetano's business experience and her commitment to the community. Over 34 years, Cayetano built the biggest laundry services provider in Hawaii, serving hotels and hospitals on three islands. She resigned as president in February.
“She’s highly successful. Built her business from the ground up," Chang Vierra said.
Cayetano became first lady in 1997 when she married then-Gov. Ben Cayetano during his first term in office.
In U.S. House races, state Rep. Patrick Pihana Branco and former state Sen. Jill Tokuda are among six candidates competing for the Democratic nomination for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District. Kahele, the incumbent, decided to run for governor instead of seeking reelection, leaving the position up for grabs.
Among Republicans, former U.S. Air Force intelligence analyst and businessman Joe Akana and business owner Joseph Webster are seeking the job.
In the 1st Congressional District, attorney and political newcomer Sergio Alcubilla is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Ed Case in the Democratic primary. Conrad Kress, Patrick Largey and Arturo Reyes are competing for the Republican endorsement.
In the U.S. Senate race, Schatz is being challenged in the Democratic primary by Steve Tataii, a conflict resolution consultant. Tataii made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2016.
In the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, state Rep. Bob McDermott is among five Republicans seeking his party’s nomination. | https://wcfcourier.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/green-wins-hawaii-democratic-primary-for-governor/article_89cc33cc-e9e1-5250-b879-749ad81e2f2c.html | 2022-08-14T06:44:59Z | https://wcfcourier.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/green-wins-hawaii-democratic-primary-for-governor/article_89cc33cc-e9e1-5250-b879-749ad81e2f2c.html | true |

How £1 homes in Liverpool ended up in the hands of tycoon Li Ka-shing
Properties given away to developers by the city’s council have been hoovered up by the Hong Kong billionaire for £300,000 apiece
The terrace houses on Hatherley Street, Toxteth, have bay windows, freshly cleaned brickwork and smartly painted front doors. This cheery appearance is in stark contrast to an image just a few years ago that showed the same street lined with crumbling, boarded-up facades.
However, the rent for the people living there is not paid to a housing association or local property owner. The landlord is an unexpected one: Hong Kong's richest man, Li Ka-shing.
How the billionaire’s property fund, CK Asset Holdings (CKAH), came to own a collection of homes in one of Liverpool’s most deprived areas is a story involving reports of a litany of failings in a council that gave away swathes of housing it owned in the city.

Plan to cut extra £400 off fuel costs
Households would see their energy bills cut by an extra £400 this winter under Treasury proposals for a government-backed lending scheme for suppliers.
Nadhim Zahawi, the chancellor, has asked officials in the exchequer to work on a multibillion-pound package which would lead to a reduction in the energy price cap from January.
It would alter how Ofgem determines the level at which the cap should be set by removing an allowance that suppliers can charge consumers. That cost would instead be paid for through financing facilitated by the Treasury and Bank of England.
Treasury estimates, handed to Zahawi and other ministers this week, suggest the new proposals would reduce the price cap by at least £400. The scheme would not be implemented fast enough to | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/plan-cut-extra-400-off-fuel-costs-769flv8s0 | 2022-08-14T06:51:41Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/plan-cut-extra-400-off-fuel-costs-769flv8s0 | true |
Reports: 1 dead, 17 hurt in crash outside Pennsylvania bar
BERWICK, Pa. (AP) - One person has died and another 17 people were injured after a vehicle struck a crowd gathered at a Pennsylvania bar on Saturday for an event to raise money for victims of a house fire that killed 10 earlier this month, authorities said.
WNEP-TV said the crash occurred outside the Intoxicology Department bar in Berwick at about 6:15 p.m. It said police and emergency medical personnel were on the scene attending to multiple injured people.
The Pennsylvania State Police said in a statement that a male suspect is in custody awaiting criminal charges.
The bar was holding a fundraiser for those touched by an Aug. 5 blaze that killed seven adults and three children in nearby Nescopeck, the station reported.
The circumstances surrounding Saturday evening’s crash were not immediately clear, including whether there was any connection to the Nescopeck fire or the fundraising effort.
The first funerals for victims of the fire were held Friday, and more were scheduled for Sunday and Monday. Authorities have said the fire’s cause remains under investigation.

Young people in our community face a pandemic-related learning crisis that requires our collective response immediately to ensure we don’t lock in educational inequities for a generation.
COVID-19 presented a huge challenge for Guilford County Schools and every student, having to quickly adjust to remote learning, then to new health guidelines for in-person classes. A recent study found students who learned remotely during the 2020-21 school year lost the equivalent of 13 to 22 weeks of in-person instruction, with the highest learning loss at schools with significant poverty. In Guilford County Schools, student poverty is a staggering 63%, indicating local youth likely suffered higher ranges of learning loss during the pandemic.
The poverty gap in access to technology and online learning was exposed by COVID-19. Kids in poverty not only faced technology-related barriers, but they also faced greater food insecurity and the loss of in-school support structures such as counseling and school-based health-related services.
People are also reading…
Without intervention, the gap in learning for children experiencing poverty is expected to grow, both broadening inequality and making it harder to surmount generational poverty.
Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott recognized the urgent need to help our most vulnerable youth overcome pandemic-related learning loss when she donated $133.5 million to Communities In Schools (CIS), the national organization surrounding underserved students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Although Scott’s gift will support programs in the nation’s largest cities, it won’t directly support CIS chapters in mid-size cities, like Communities In Schools of Greater Greensboro (CISGG). Still, Scott’s tremendous philanthropy lights a path for what our local priority must be: to break down barriers to post-pandemic success for our underserved, under-resourced students in Guilford County.
We can do this in three ways.
First, support youth involvement in intensive tutoring, which research shows works best to overcome pandemic-related learning loss. Guilford County Schools and other regional organizations have expanded tutoring options with support from federal funds, but youth experiencing poverty face transportation barriers, food insecurity and a range of other obstacles to tutoring. As a community, we need to help kids overcome these barriers and we need to act now.
Second, we need to provide holistic support for our youth who lost the most ground educationally during the pandemic. The good news is we know how. Since 1988, CISGG has served more than 51,000 at-risk K-12 students in 22 schools, with 98.1% of the students graduating from high school. By connecting students with a supportive, caring site coordinator at their school, students receive services tailored to their needs, from food, to clothing, to medical care, to after-school programs, to mentorship and more. Relationships with caring adults fostered by Communities In Schools help to transform the life trajectory of our most vulnerable children in Greensboro, with 99.2% of participating students obtaining placement in college, the military, jobs and training programs. These same programs that guide youth toward job-ready, civically oriented futures can empower them to overcome pandemic-related learning loss.
Third, we need broader community solutions to support youth experiencing both poverty and pandemic-related learning loss. There is so much we can do. In an environment where businesses are experiencing labor shortages, corporations can broaden workforce pipelines by engaging schools with high poverty rates and providing their students with pathways to internships and job shadowing programs. Individuals can mentor youth through CISGG or other organizations. To the degree we are able individually, we can financially support afterschool programs, like tutoring and restorative youth sports. We can and must support our youth through our collective focus, involvement and generosity of time and resources.
We have a great deal of opportunity in front of us in Guilford County, from community support expressed in the recently passed school bond, to multiple major businesses starting or growing in our region, poised to draw on a workforce of thousands. Let’s make sure we don’t leave a generation behind as we plan for the exciting future in front of us. One of the best ways to end poverty in our community is by preventing it in the first place. We can do this by wrapping services and resources around these young people now. | https://greensboro.com/opinion/columnists/charlos-banks-ed-d-pandemic-driven-learning-loss-for-youth-and-how-to-fix-it/article_8d8c09ee-175b-11ed-8aaa-1392484b79a6.html | 2022-08-14T07:20:11Z | https://greensboro.com/opinion/columnists/charlos-banks-ed-d-pandemic-driven-learning-loss-for-youth-and-how-to-fix-it/article_8d8c09ee-175b-11ed-8aaa-1392484b79a6.html | true |
I brought a banana bread over to the mom who just moved in up the street. I told her I meant to bring it over warm, but time had gotten away from me. She smiled and said she does like it warm, so she would heat it up in the microwave. There was only a microwave in her kitchen because a stove wasn’t included in the rent, she explained. I told her I’d keep my eyes open for someone selling one.
I had heard about this from other neighbors: Landlords not willing to include basic appliances because “they didn’t want one more thing to fix.” But glancing into my neighbor’s house, I could easily see that the entire place was substandard: cracked glass on the front door, a plywood patch on the living room floor, a window duct-taped shut. I asked her how much she was paying for rent. $950 a month. It was a blessing.
Our neighborhood has been hit hard by rental companies and landlords buying up properties and renting them at huge profits. Rarely can you find a nice place rented out by the family or old timer anymore — the “for rent” signs here all bear the same company logos. Houses that go up for sale are purchased, often in bulk, frequently sight unseen. The property directly next to me was purchased by a buyer who bought nearly 90 other homes in the county that same day. It’s clear to me that the owner has never even been to our block, not to mention doesn’t live anywhere nearby. I guess we are both invested in the neighborhood, albeit in very different ways.

Housing is big business. Rents across the country have spiked 9.2% since the start of 2021, according to Apartment List (Apartment List, 2022). My new neighbor might consider herself fortunate to have found a three bedroom house for under $1,000, even if it has no appliances and has plywood on the floors.
Spiraling rents
The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,050 in Greensboro, that’s a 30% increase over this time last year. By no stretch of the imagination have wages kept pace with this dramatic increase.
My new neighbor works a full time retail job (average income for retail in Guilford County is just over $29,000), but to truly afford her rent she will need to make about $5,000 more annually (the income needed to afford a two-bedroom apartment is over $34,000) (Department of Labor Statistics, 2021). At the end of 2021, nearly half (46%) of Guilford renters were having difficulty paying for their homes, along with 20% of homeowners (American Community Survey, 2021). I’m fearful that my very nice new neighbor and her family will not be able to live on my block for long.
But where will she go? Many friends have told me that affording rent is one thing, but finding an available rental is another. One told me that he went to look at a house, but it was rented before he even got there. “I need a second job to afford rent, but realistically the time I have for a second job has to be spent looking for a place,” he said.
Misery has company
It is not just Greensboro, of course. My colleagues at Down Home North Carolina have been conducting a deep listening project all across the state and housing costs are top of mind for people everywhere. In Watauga County, local residents told us that the available housing has been scooped up for AirBNBs and vacation rentals, leaving local folks scrambling to find places to stay.
In Ashe County, a farmer told me that her neighbor is renting a trailer where water comes out of the outlets when it rains.
In Craven County, my colleague drove me through a boarded-up public housing complex that has never been repaired since the last round of flooding and is now rumored to be slated as waterfront housing to attract wealthy newcomers.
In Person County, a Roxboro resident explained that rentals are hard to find because families have the incentive to sell, not rent, while market prices are so incredibly high. She’s been looking for a house to rent for six months, while sleeping on her sister’s couch even though she works a good, stable job.
Housing is a right
Back here at home, a $30 million housing bond passed by voters last month will provide some minor relief for Greensboro’s housing woes. But with a housing crisis unfolding in every state, in every county, in every city, and in every neighborhood more is needed.
Housing can and should be addressed by voters this November. The people we elect up and down the ballot should be civil servants who have an articulated plan to address our failed housing policy. County commissioners and other local positions can address zoning, introduce bonds and use long-term planning to ensure the affordable housing stock is increased in their communities. State representatives can strengthen critical affordable housing, rental assistance and eviction prevention programs and could, like Oregon, pass a statewide rent-control bill. Congress can act to ensure tenants’ rights and a Homes Guarantee.
Housing is a human right. What’s more, helping our neighbors access safe, affordable housing gives them a stability and security that benefits our communities more broadly. So long as nearly half of our nation cannot afford its most basic needs — food, health care, shelter — then our country itself will remain economically and electorally precarious. That’s why, when it comes to housing, we need an everything, everywhere, everyone approach. We can afford nothing else.

Mams are truly remarkable at what they do, with many having to juggle raising children, looking after the home and a job.
We love our mams to bits, but there were certainly times when they filled us with fear just by uttering a few words. With kids running around while they tried to carry out their day-to-day duties, sometimes a snappy threat or warning was needed.
Whether it was to stop us from misbehaving, to keep us safe from the obvious danger we were oblivious to, or to pass on words of wisdom, there are some iconic sayings that Teesside mams have said for decades.
READ MORE: Lost photos and postcards are a window into Middlesbrough's history
Some of the below sayings are not particularly PC, and although a couple sound threatening, they weren’t followed up with actions.
“Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry for”
We’d temporarily pause mid-breakdown and contemplate what our mam would do to make us cry. If we had sense, we’d stop, but if we were feeling daring, we’d carry on sobbing and see what would happen.
“If you fall and break your legs don't come running to me”
The irony of this was probably wasted on our innocent young selves as we ran across brick walls and whatever else we could climb onto. How could we run back to our mam if we’d broken our legs?
“Wait till your dad gets in”
We knew we were in trouble if our mam had to bring our dad into the conversation!
“Stop scowling, if the wind changes your face will stay like that”
This warning was also often said if we were pulling a silly face that greatly irritated our mam. Many of us believed it for a little while, until we realised our faces never did stick in a scowling or odd position with our eyes crossed and tongue sticking out.
“No means no”
We’ve all been there when we’ve pestered our mam for something over and over again. This warning was the last straw when we knew to stop asking immediately.
“Get that coat off or you won't feel the benefit when you go outside”
This one is quite strange thinking about it, as if we’re cold inside, why shouldn’t we put our coat on? I guess it saves a squeal of “Mammm, I’m cold!” seconds after being outside and there being no more layers for our mam to wrap us in.
“Don’t frown or you’ll get wrinkles”
I don’t know about you, but when I was a child, I wasn’t too worried about wrinkles. Maybe this warning would be more effective if it was said in our early adult years!
“Tuck your vest in your knickers or you’ll take a chill”
I’ll never really understand why our mams were so obsessed with us getting a chill.
What other threats and warnings did your mam say to you? Let us know in the comments section below.

Family of slain soldier Guillen files lawsuit against Army
(CNN) - The family of murdered soldier Vanessa Guillen has filed a $35 million lawsuit against the Department of the Army.
Guillen, 20, was sexually harassed and killed in 2020 at U.S. Army base Fort Hood in Texas. Her family is seeking damages for sexual harassment, abuse, assault, rape, sodomy and wrongful death, according to the Associated Press.
The filing claims for several months until her death, Guillen suffered “mental anguish, fear, emotional distress [and] physical injury.” It claims her death was a “result of sexual harassment, rape, sodomy and physical assault.”
Guillen went missing from the Army base in April 2020. Her remains were found miles away two months later.
Investigators say fellow soldier Aaron Robinson killed Guillen with a hammer. He escaped Fort Hood and later died by suicide as law enforcement closed in.
The case sparked national attention over the Army’s failure to initially address the sexual harassment Guillen faced. More than a dozen Army officers and other soldiers faced disciplinary action as a result.
The Army says it is withholding comment on active litigation, per policy.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenya’s peaceful presidential election saw a brief disruption late Saturday when riot police responded to scuffles at the national tallying center amid tensions over the close results.
An agent for longtime opposition leader and candidate Raila Odinga announced from the lectern that the tallying center was the “scene of a crime” before calm was restored. The agent, Saitabao Ole Kanchory, offered no evidence in the latest example of the unverified claims that both top campaigns have made as Kenya waits for official results.
The electoral commission has seven days from Tuesday’s election to announce results. Chair Wafula Chebukati on Saturday again said the process was too slow, and the commission told nonessential people watching at the center to leave.
Police remained at the center on Sunday morning.
The race remains close between Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto as the electoral commission physically verifies more than 46,000 results forms electronically transmitted from around the country.
Turnout dipped sharply in this election, to 65%, as some Kenyans expressed weariness with seeing long-familiar political leaders on the ballot and frustration with economic issues including widespread corruption and rising prices. Outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta crossed the ethnic lines that have long marked politics by backing Odinga. The president fell out with his deputy Ruto years ago.
Past elections have been marked by political violence, but civil society observers, police, religious leaders and others have said this one has been peaceful.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a call with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday “encouraged continued peace and patience as the vote tallying from Kenya’s Aug. 9 election proceeds,” spokesman Ned Price said.
In western Kenya, residents said they were tired of waiting for results, but stressed that they were also sapped from the turbulence of the past.
“We aren't ready for any violence here,” said Ezekiel Kibet, 40, who said he would accept the results if the process is transparent. “We are thinking of how our kids will go back to school.”
“Let whoever will win rule us,” added Daniel Arap Chepkwony, 63. “Many people think that we here will come out with our weapons, but we will not.”

The Orlando Pride built upon their points streak late on Saturday night, earning a 1-0 victory over the host San Diego Wave to extend their unbeaten run to six games.
The Pride (4-5-6, 18 points) were fueled by a first-half penalty kick from Meggie Dougherty Howard and the defense earned its fourth clean sheet of the regular season.
[ Host Pride get NWSL tie vs. Angel City FC ]
“[The win] was massive,” Pride acting coach Seb Hines said. “We’re running out of games as we’re coming toward the end of the season. I’ve said from the start we are reaching to get to the playoffs and it’s important that we start picking up wins and three points, and what a better way to do it than a one-nil win away from home?”
Dougherty Howard’s goal against San Diego (7-5-4, 25 points), which entered the match tied for the top spot in the NWSL, marked her first in a Pride jersey and the team’s second penalty goal of the year.
[ Pride place coach Amanda Cromwell, assistant on administrative leave ]
Erin McLeod made six saves in the match, including a couple late to preserve the victory, with the shutout marking the third across the Pride’s current six-game run.
Midfielder Erika Tymrak also made her 150th regular-season appearance, with the 2013 NWSL Rookie of the Year becoming the 11th player to hit the mark in league history.
The Pride next face NJ/NY Gotham FC on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Subaru Park. | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-pride-soccer/os-sp-orlando-pride-san-diego-wave-recap-0814-20220814-zjig5uvc6bf2dbgbqz6i3k7zmq-story.html | 2022-08-14T08:08:30Z | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-pride-soccer/os-sp-orlando-pride-san-diego-wave-recap-0814-20220814-zjig5uvc6bf2dbgbqz6i3k7zmq-story.html | false |

State-owned Bank of India expects advances to grow by 10-12 per cent in the current fiscal year with corporate loans yet to pick-up, top official said in an analysts call.
The bank's year-to-date (YTD) loan growth stood at about 5 per cent mainly driven by Retail sector advances, Agricultural and MSME loans (RAM).
"Advances growth guidance will be in the range of 10 to 12 per cent for the full year. So far up to June, we had YTD growth of about 5 per cent, but that is mostly on the back of good RAM growth. Corporate is yet to pick up. We believe that from this quarter onwards, there could be some movement in the corporate book," A K Das, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer (MD&CEO), told analysts in post Q1FY23 earnings conference call.
The bank's gross advances (global and domestic) stood at Rs 4,77,746 crore at end-June 2022.
In the first quarter ended in June of the current fiscal year, the lender registered a decline of 22 per cent in net profit at Rs 561 crore as against Rs 720 crore in the year-ago quarter. Exuding confidence that it won't be difficult to achieve the loan growth target for 2022-23, Das said the bank expects Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 2.90 per cent domestically and global NIM of 2.75 per cent.
In Q1FY23, bank's domestic and global NIMs stood at 2.88 per cent and 2.55 per cent, respectively. Das said a lot of repricing in loan book is happening in both sides and it would be good if the bank could maintain the guidances on its NIMs. In terms of asset quality, the bank said it has set a target of Rs 2,500 crore reduction in bad loans every quarter.
Of this, Rs 1,700 crore will come from upgradation and cash recoveries and the rest will be through various OTS (One Time Settlement) programmes which the lender has lined-up already, M Karthikeyan, Executive Director, said. "We are sure that during this year, about Rs 3,000 crore will come through resolutions through NCLT, that's what our guidance is," he added.
At end of June 2022, bank's gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) improved to 9.30 per cent of the gross advances, translating to Rs 44,415 crore. It was at 13.51 per cent (Rs 56,042 crore) by end of June 2021. Likewise, the net NPAs fell to 2.21 per cent (Rs 9,775 crore) as against 3.35 per cent (Rs 12,424 crore). | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/banks/bank-of-india-sees-10-12-growth-in-advances-in-current-fiscal-9026301.html | 2022-08-14T09:14:19Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/banks/bank-of-india-sees-10-12-growth-in-advances-in-current-fiscal-9026301.html | true |
