Around a month after the Tauru DSP’s murder by the mining mafia in Nuh district, a team of the Mining Department was assaulted at Sahjawas village, near Sohna, on Friday.
The raiding team had reportedly stopped two tractor-trailers loaded with soil for checking. Meanwhile, three persons reached there and assaulted the mining team. They later ran away with tractor-trailers. An FIR has been registered at the Bhondsi police station against five persons.
Although the authority have claimed that there is no illegal mining in the area, reports suggest the mining mafia has now started mining soil, instead of stones, in the Aravalli area.
Accused escape after assault
We were questioning the drivers of the two tractor-trailers when three other persons came. They started assaulting the team and fled towards Sahajawas village with the tractor-trailers. —Dharampal, Mining guard
According to a complaint filed by Department of Mines and Geology guard Dharampal, he reached Sahajawas village along with other fellow employees following information about illegal mining on Friday. They saw two tractor-trailers loaded with illegally mined soil. The vehicles were stopped and their drivers questioned.
“They told us that both tractors belonged to Vijay of Abhaypur village. We were still questioning the drivers when three other persons reached there. Two of them said their names were Mahabir and Hem Singh and that they were residents of Sahajawas. The third person did not reveal his identity. Suddenly, they started assaulting the team members and made good their escape towards Sahajawas village along with the tractor-trailers. Later, we informed the police about the incident,” the mining guard said in his complaint.
An FIR has been registered against five accused under Sections 186 (obstructing public servant in the discharge of public function) and 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant) of the IPC besides Section 21(1) of the Mining Act at the Bhondsi police station.
“The registration numbers of both tractors are also mentioned in complaint and we are trying to identify the tractors’ owner. The accused will be nabbed soon,” said inspector Devender Singh, SHO of the Bhondsi police station. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/mining-staff-attacked-in-ggram-village-5-booked-423780 | 2022-08-21T15:10:06Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/mining-staff-attacked-in-ggram-village-5-booked-423780 | true |
Car bomb kills daughter of ‘spiritual guide’ to Putin’s Ukraine invasion – Russian media
By Mohammed Tawfeeq, Josh Pennington, Jonny Hallam and Tara John, CNN
Russian authorities said Sunday they had opened a murder investigation after the daughter of influential, ultra-nationalist philosopher Alexander Dugin was killed by a car bomb on the outskirts of Moscow.
The Russian Investigative Committee said it believed someone planned and ordered the car explosion that killed Darya Dugina, based on evidence already collected from the blast. “Taking into account the data already obtained, the investigation believes that the crime was pre-planned and was of an ordered nature,” the investigative committee said in a statement Sunday.
Dugina died at the scene after “an explosive device, presumably installed in the Toyota Land Cruiser, went off on a public road and the car caught fire” at around 9.00 p.m. local time on Saturday, near the village of Bolshiye Vyazemy, according to the press service of the Russian Investigative Committee, as reported by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Dugina’s father is a Russian author and ideologue, credited with being the architect or “spiritual guide” to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He is purported to have significant influence over Russian President Vladimir Putin and was described as “Putin’s Brain” by Foreign Affairs magazine.
Both Dugin and his daughter have been sanctioned by the United States. The United Kingdom sanctioned Dugina in July for being “a frequent and high-profile contributor of disinformation in relation to Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine on various online platform,” it wrote.
Videos of the explosion showed a vehicle on fire at the side of the road and smashed car parts strewn across the surrounding area. One unverified video appears to show Dugin at the scene.
A friend of Dugina told TASS that he believed Dugina’s father was the true target of the blast — or possibly both of them — as the car belonged to Alexander.
“It’s her father’s car,” Krasnov told TASS. “Dasha (Darya) drives another car, but she drove his car today, and Alexander went separately,” Andrei Krasnov, head of the Russky Gorizont (Russian Horizon) social movement and a personal acquaintance of Dugina’s family, told TASS.
A Russian foreign ministry official implied that Ukrainian state structures were responsible for the explosion, a claim that Ukrainian authorities have denied.
“If the Ukrainian trace is confirmed… then we should talk about the policy of state terrorism implemented by the Kyiv regime,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a Telegram post. “There have been plenty of facts accumulated over the years: from political calls for violence to the leadership and participation of Ukrainian state structures in crimes,” she said.
Ukraine on Sunday strenuously denied any involvement in the car explosion. “Ukraine definitely has nothing to do with this because we are not a criminal state, which the Russian Federation is, and even more so, we are not a terrorist state,” Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said in a Ukrainian TV interview.
‘Flames completely engulfed it’
When Dugina “turned onto the Mozhaiskoye highway near the village of Bolshiye Vyazemi, there was an explosion, the car caught fire immediately,” Krasnov told TASS.
“The flames completely engulfed it. She lost control because she was driving at high speed and flew to the opposite side of the road,” Krasnov added, as cited by TASS.
In the meantime, forensic experts, investigators and experts in explosive engineering are inspecting the scene.
Dugina, the daughter, was born in 1992 and studied Philosophy at Moscow State University, according to TASS.
In March 2022, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Dugina for her contribution to an article on the United World International (UWI) website suggesting that Ukraine would “perish” if it is admitted to NATO. Dugina was UWI’s chief editor.
She claimed in a recent interview with the Russian news channel, 1RNK, that the atrocities that happened during the Russian occupation of the Ukrainian town of Bucha were American propaganda, chosen because of its phonological similarity to “butcher,” a word she connects with US President Joe Biden calling Putin a “butcher” on March 29.
CNN visited the scene of mass graves in Bucha in April after Russian forces had withdrawn, revealing the horrors of their occupation to the world. Images of bodies lying strewn the streets of Bucha sparked international condemnation and investigations into potential Russian war crimes. Multiple eyewitnesses and footage have connected many of the atrocities to Russian soldiers.
Her father was also sanctioned by the United States in 2015 for being responsible for, or complicit in actions or policies that threaten peace, security, stability, or sovereignty or territorial integrity of Ukraine.
The US Treasury department also said that Alexander Dugin was a leader of the Eurasian Youth Union, which actively recruited individuals with military and combat experience to fight on behalf of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and has stated that it has a covert presence in Ukraine.
In an interview with CNN in 2017, Dugin remarked on many similarities between his ideas and those of former US president Donald Trump. He called Trump’s inauguration speech discourse “as if I would write it myself.”
He also said that Putin provided inspiration for Trump, “a kind of… example to challenge the status quo, to challenge the conventional wisdom, challenge all this totalitarian principles of globalists and ultra-liberals.”

Life comes with lots of little annoyances, few of them littler or more annoying than mosquitoes. Just about everyone who spends any time outdoors will be bothered by the bloodsucking party poopers at one point or another.
Although it may seem difficult to avoid mosquitoes, there are several easy measures you can take to reduce or eliminate them from your yard and garden. The best control is prevention.
With the exception of those who live near a lake, marsh or swamp — or in densely packed neighborhoods — most of the blame for mosquito invasions usually falls on the property’s residents. Mosquitoes need only one-quarter inch of water to breed — and a female can lay hundreds of eggs at a time.
Inspect your property for standing water. Even the most diligent among us will likely find water collected in a children’s playset, tire, clogged gutter, pot saucer, overturned trash can lid or flying disc toy. Drain or dump water as you see it, even if the amount appears insignificant, and drill drainage holes in the bottoms of vessels like tire swings.
For water that’s intended to stand, such as in ponds and bird baths, the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) is a safe and effective way to kill mosquito larvae. Several strains of Bt are available, each targeting different insects, so be sure to buy the israelensis strain to target mosquitoes. The product is also effective against black flies and fungus gnats.
Bti comes in various forms, including donut-shaped briquettes called “Mosquito Dunks.” The floating rings offer 30 days of protection and “will not harm people, pets and other animals, aquatic life, or other insects, including honeybees,” according to the CDC.
If you don’t have a pond or bird bath, you can make a DIY mosquito trap: Add a handful of straw, hay or grass clippings to a (preferably dark-colored) pail filled with water, and let it sit for 1-2 days. Then add one mosquito dunk. For large infestations, tuck several buckets around the yard. The decomposing organic matter will attract the insects, which will lay eggs on the treated water. Replace water and add a fresh dunk every 30 days to thwart future generations of mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes also like to hunker down among weeds and overgrown vegetation. Keep the yard tidy.
Running a standing or box fan at high speed will significantly reduce mosquito activity on your porch, deck or patio. It works by literally blowing the insects away and dispersing our exhaled carbon dioxide, which would otherwise attract them. You’ll keep cooler, too.
Avoid using insecticidal foggers or sprays, which threaten essential pollinators and other beneficial insects while controlling only a small portion of the adult mosquito population. In addition, such applications would need to be repeated multiple times per season.
So-called “mosquito plants” and other plants marketed as repellents do, indeed, contain oils or chemicals that the insects find unappealing. But they’re not effective unless those compounds are released, such as by crushing the leaves. Merely having such a plant in the garden or a pot will not provide any benefit.
Various research studies have shown citronella candles containing lemongrass oil provide mild-to-moderate protection. The jury is out on whether the benefit can be attributed to the repellant properties of the active ingredient, the candle’s ability to mask the human scent or if the flame itself is the deterrent.
In case you’re wondering, mosquitoes do serve a purpose — as pollinators and bird food. Still, because the roles they serve in these areas are minor, eliminating them from your yard will not adversely affect the ecosystem.
Itchy welts aside, many of us live or vacation in areas where mosquitoes can transmit viruses like West Nile, Zika, dengue and chikungunya, and parasitic illnesses like malaria. Pets are at risk, too, with heartworm disease posing the most significant threat.
Wearing long sleeves and pants, reducing time spent outdoors between dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active, and keeping up to date with pets’ heartworm prevention treatments will go a long way toward reducing mosquito bites.
And remember, you don’t live in a barn. Keep the door closed.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — In a world where a jar of peanut butter costs a dollar more than it did last year and the price of a gallon of conventional milk inches up to $6 in some cities, paying $1.49 for a family-size box of crispy rice cereal can seem like a good idea, even if it’s August and the cereal is dyed red and green for Christmas.
At the salvage store, a deal is a deal.
With grocery prices 13.1% higher than a year ago, according to the consumer price index for July, a new batch of customers has discovered the joys and pitfalls of shopping at salvage food stores, where a crushed box is never a problem, package dates are mere suggestions and questionable marketing attempts (Hostess SnoBall-flavored coffee pods?) go to die.
The stores, which traffic in what mainstream food retailers call “unsellables,” operate in a gray zone between food banks and big discount chains like the German import Aldi or Dollar General, which has grown to more than 18,000 stores.
With names like Sharp Shopper, the Dented Can and Stretch-a-Buck, salvage stores have long been a salvation for families on tight food budgets and the naturally thrifty. Adventurous shoppers looking for bargains use them for culinary treasure hunts. Now the inflation-weary are joining their ranks.
Maggie Kilpatrick, a food blogger and cooking teacher in St. Paul, Minnesota, with celiac disease, visited a salvage store for the first time in June after the cost of her favorite gluten-free products skyrocketed. Someone in a gluten-free Facebook group mentioned a salvage store about 20 miles away.
“I was shocked,” she said. “There was lots of gluten-free, organic, high-quality stuff you never thought you would find in this dumpy little store in Fridley, Minnesota.”
A package of two baguettes from a company she loves usually sells for about $6.99. She picked up three packages for $5. Vegan butter was $1.99, about $5 less than she would pay at Whole Foods Market.
“I can see how people get hooked on it,” she said.
Many of the stores are small, and some don’t use checkout scanners or take credit cards, so getting a complete picture of nationwide sales is a challenge. An analysis of 405,101 receipts submitted by consumers to the consumer rewards app Fetch showed the number of households shopping at salvage stores in the first half of this year was more than 8% higher than a year earlier.
The manager of Dickies, a small chain in North Carolina, said sales were up 36% from last summer. Other store managers reported double-digit increases. “I’ve been seeing a bunch of people come in who haven’t been here before,” said Nicholas Duke, 27, who manages what had until recently been called the Price Is Right in this tourist-friendly city in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The owners recently renamed the store Uplifting Deals. It’s part of a rebranding plan they hope will attract new shoppers, including people who once might have turned up their noses at places that sell tubes of frozen hamburger for $2 a pound, fading lemons and a jumble of items, from canned tomatoes to 99-cent bottles of celebrity-chef marinade.
“We’re trying to clean it up and show people it can be a real shopping experience,” Duke said.
In another twist, salvage food stores are drawing environmentally conscious consumers intent on doing what they can to reduce the $161 billion worth of food the Department of Agriculture estimates is dumped every year into landfills.
That’s why Lynne Ziobro started the website Buy Salvage Food two years ago. She maintains a nationwide map of salvage food stores and offers guidance on ways to reduce food waste.
“Most people visiting my site are looking for ways to save money on groceries, and I hope I’m able to raise their awareness of food waste while they’re there,” she said.
The idea came to her after she grew frustrated helping a friend find a retailer to sell his flavored nuts, which Amazon was pulling from its platform as the best-by date approached. Visits to her site, she said, have more than tripled since last year, and now hover around 11,000 a month.
A handful of new waste-conscious companies have taken the salvage store concept online, shipping out bargains on meat and dairy products, stock overruns and food from farmers that might otherwise get tossed out.
“I think the food-waste-warrior mentality has gone hand in hand with the value-seekers,” said Abhi Ramesh, who founded the home-delivery company Misfits Market in 2018. The company is growing fast, and has shipped more than 14 million orders since it started.
As any smart salvage shopper knows, dates on food packages usually don’t mean much. Whether “sell by,” “best before” or “expires on,” they are intended to help stores and manufacturers control inventory and to let consumers know when a product is at peak quality.
The federal government doesn’t require or regulate dates on any food except infant formula. Most states have rules about food dates, but they vary widely.
Last year, Congress began considering a uniform national rule that would use only two phrases: “Best if used by” to indicate quality and “use by” to indicate when a food might become unsafe to eat. Refed, an organization that researches food waste, said a universal standard would end the confusion that prompts people to toss $29 billion worth of safe, edible food each year.
“There’s nothing wrong at all with salvaged food or something that’s past the date,” said Sarah Kaplan, 29, who manages her family’s four Dickies salvage food stores in Asheville. “I’ve been raised on it all my life, and I’m not dead.”
Veterans of salvage shopping suggest that newcomers get to know the store and the staff, who can point out the real bargains.
Trust yourself and not labels, they say. Find out on which days merchandise is delivered to the store, and get there early for the best selection. And make sure to pick a good store. They vary from chains whose stores would be at home in affluent suburban neighborhoods to homespun markets with cluttered shelves and softening vegetables.
“I’ve told a lot of my friends and co-workers, ‘You have to be willing to sort through the stuff that isn’t good to find what it is,’” said Molly Nicholie, the executive director of the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, based in Asheville.
Although she appreciates the savings, Nicholie enjoys the hunt. During her most recent trip, she found a pound of foil-wrapped European-style butter for $2.50. The shipping box, which held 36 pounds, had been ripped open and one wrapper was torn, so the distributor sold the whole case to a salvage food broker.
Food brokerages can be as small as a few ambitious people with a truck and some connections at a restaurant distribution warehouse. Others are sophisticated operations that work directly with food giants like Hormel or Mondelez.
Food producers need to unload vast amounts of extra inventory because they’ve reformulated a product or changed the package. Sometimes sales forecasts have changed. Manufacturers sell to stores or brokers who agree to keep the food out of the retail mainstream so the brand’s price strategy and image won’t suffer.
Some salvage store owners have direct relationships with grocery chains that have to clear out food that they have failed to sell at a discount, or that is nearing expiration dates. Some owners buy bread directly from the person driving a local delivery route.
It’s an unpredictable system whose currency is reputation, connections and hustle. And it has its share of bad actors.
“I knew people who would wipe dates off mayonnaise,” said David Fox, president of Java Holdings, a food and merchandise liquidator in Los Angeles. He got his start 31 years ago working for a company that was selling dented cans of vegetables from Northern California canneries hit by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
Now his company has 11 employees, several distribution centers and the ability to repackage and relabel surplus goods to hide the names of national brands. When the pandemic shut down travel, leaving cruise-ship lines and airlines with tons of frozen meals and vats of orange juice, he found buyers. When PepsiCo retired the Aunt Jemima brand in 2021 because of its racist overtones, he liquidated 50 truckloads of syrup and pancake mix.
“I’m addicted,” he said. “My best friend calls it a casino.” | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/retail/dented-dated-discontinued-at-the-salvage-grocery-its-called-a-deal/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | 2022-08-21T15:30:36Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/retail/dented-dated-discontinued-at-the-salvage-grocery-its-called-a-deal/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | true |

The mother of a young woman who died in a car crash on her way to Creamfields festival in 2009 has said that she "will always keep" her daughter's memory alive. Dominique Williams, a dance and performing arts student from Liverpool, died along with her friend Nicola Edgar.
Dominique's mother, Lesley Williams, has previously urged festival goers to take care when travelling to and from the festival, which is to be held in Daresbury between August 25 and 28. Thirteen years on from Dominique's death on August 29, her mum Lesley Williams has paid an emotional tribute to her.
"It's so strange as some days I don't know what I am feeling and today is one of them," Lesley wrote in a public post on her Facebook page. "I feel like everything is out of sync maybe because the anniversary is approaching again."

Lesley continued: "It's hard to try and explain these feeling when they do come. It's almost like feeling suspended a feeling of being numb, to think it's been thirteen long years since I sat and spoke with you Dom. Then it feels like yesterday when you left and then you were gone.
"How can things seem so mixed up it's like opposites work in sync, it seems as if everything changes every time I blink. I know that I am doing my best and don't know what else to do, it seems like something blocks me when I feel I am getting through.
"My heart was broke the day you left and the pain is still so raw, and every day my only wish is that you will come through the door. So another anniversary and I wonder what to do, I wish I could do something to let you know how much I love you!
"Wherever you are my special girl please know a part of me is there too. And I will always keep your memory alive no matter what else I do! I love you Dom."
Speaking to the ECHO last year, Lesley issued a plea to festival goers to stay safe on the roads on their way to and from the festival. Lesley said: "Things can so easily happen but the devastation left behind is just absolutely unbelievable, even still now. You look at the positive side and say I'm lucky I was her mum and I'm lucky I have my two boys, but I'm also lucky that everybody still remembers her.
"It's still a big deal, there's loads of flowers on her grave, there's messages. It's been constant since we lost her. It does mean so much that people still remember her. That old saying life goes on but for them it doesn't and for us it goes on but it's hard.
"Anyone going to the festival I just want them to have a ball, that was the whole reason Dom was going, for the excitement, but please be careful on your way down there. There's coach crashes, accidents on the road, just be aware of everything going on around you on your way there then once you're there enjoy yourself, raise a glass and remember her."

HONOLULU (AP) — For more than 50 years, telescopes and the needs of astronomers have dominated the summit of Mauna Kea, a mountain sacred to Native Hawaiians that’s also one of the finest places in the world to study the night sky.
That’s now changing with a new state law saying Mauna Kea must be protected for future generations and that science must be balanced with culture and the environment. Native Hawaiian cultural experts will have voting seats on a new governing body, instead of merely advising the summit’s managers as they do now.
The shift comes after thousands of protesters camped on the mountain three years ago to block the construction of a state-of-the-art observatory, jolting policymakers and astronomers into realizing the status quo had to change.
There’s a lot at stake: Native Hawaiian advocates want to protect a site of great spiritual importance. Astronomers hope they’ll be able to renew leases for state land underneath their observatories, due to expire in 11 years, and continue making revolutionary scientific discoveries for decades to come. Business and political leaders are eager for astronomy to support well-paying jobs in a state that has long struggled to diversify its tourism-dependent economy.
To top if off, the new authority may offer a first-in-the-world test case for whether astronomers can find a way to respectfully and responsibly study the universe from Indigenous and culturally significant lands.
“We’ve been here for centuries. We are not gone; we are still here. And we have knowledge that would produce a feasible management solution that would be more inclusive,” said Shane Palacat-Nelson, a Native Hawaiian who helped draft a report that laid the foundation for the new law.
At issue is the summit of Mauna Kea, which sits 13,803 feet (4,207 meters) above sea level. In 1968, the state gave the University of Hawaii a 65-year lease for land that the school subleases to leading global research institutions in exchange for a share of observation time.
Astronomers like Mauna Kea’s summit because its clear skies, dry air and limited light pollution make it the best place to study space from the Northern Hemisphere. Its dozen huge telescopes have played key roles in advancing humanity’s understanding of the universe, including making some of the first images of planets outside our solar system. Astronomer Andrea Ghez used one to prove the existence of a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, for which she shared the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics.
But the telescopes have also changed the summit landscape and have increasingly upset Native Hawaiians who view the place as sacred. The 2019 protests by people calling themselves “kia’i,” or protectors of the mountain, were aimed at stopping the construction of the biggest and most advanced observatory yet: the $2.65 billion Thirty Meter Telescope, or TMT, backed by the University of California and other institutions.
Law enforcement arrested 38 elders, mostly Native Hawaiians, which only attracted more protesters. Police withdrew months later after TMT said it wouldn’t move forward with construction right away. Protesters stayed put but closed camp in March 2020 amid concerns about COVID-19.
The episode pushed lawmakers to seek a new approach.
The result is the new governing body, the Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority, which will have a board of 11 voting members. The governor will appoint eight. Gov. David Ige hasn’t set a date for announcing his nominees, who will go before the state Senate for confirmation. He said more than 30 have applied.
Palacat-Nelsen said traditional Native Hawaiian knowledge could help the authority determine how large a footprint manmade structures like telescopes should have at the summit.
“Do we take heavy steps? Do we take light steps? When do we take steps? What seasons do we take steps?” Palacat-Nelsen said. “All that type of knowledge is embedded in the majority of our stories, our traditional stories that were handed down.”
The board will have this expertise because one member of the authority must be a recognized practitioner of Native Hawaiian culture and another a direct descendant of a Native Hawaiian practitioner of Mauna Kea traditions.
Central to the Native Hawaiian view of Mauna Kea is the idea that the summit is where gods dwell and humans aren’t allowed to live. A centuries-old chant says the mountain is the oldest child of Wakea and Papawalinu’u, the male and female sources of all life. To this day, the mountain draws clouds and rainfall that feeds forests and fresh water to communities on Hawaii’s Big Island.
Lawmakers drafted the law after a working group of Native Hawaiian cultural experts, protesters, observatory workers and state officials met to discuss Mauna Kea. Their report, which dedicated a large chunk to the historical and cultural significance of the mountain, formed the foundation of the new law.
Several kia’i who served on that working group support the authority. The House speaker has nominated one kia’i leader for the board.
But some longtime telescope opponents are critical, creating questions about how broad the authority’s community support will be.
Kealoha Pisciotta, who has been part of legal challenges against TMT and other observatory proposals since 1998, said Native Hawaiians should at minimum have an equal standing on the board.
“You don’t have a real say. It’s designed to create an illusion of having consent and representation in a situation where we really don’t,” said Pisciotta, a spokesperson for the groups Mauna Kea Hui and Mauna Kea Aina Hou.
Lawmakers said the pressure to address Hawaii’s telescope standoff isn’t just coming from within the state but also from the U.S. astronomy community.
State Rep. David Tarnas pointed to a report by a committee of astronomers from across the country declaring there’s a need to develop a new model of collaborative decision-making together with Indigenous and local communities.
“This is not just the Big Island issue, it’s not just a state issue, but I believe it’s a global issue,” said state Sen. Donna Mercado Kim. “I believe that the world is watching to see how we deal with this.”
The TMT matter, meanwhile, remains unresolved: Its backers still want to build on Mauna Kea, though they have selected a site in Spain’s Canary Islands as a backup.
The head of the University of Hawaii’s astronomy program said the authority could help his own institution if it “stabilizes the whole situation” for Mauna Kea astronomy.
But Doug Simons said he’s worried the authority might not get up and running in time to renew the summit master lease and subleases.
The master lease requires that all existing telescopes be decommissioned and their sites restored to their original state by 2033 if the state doesn’t authorize an extension.
Simons said it will take at least five or six years to dismantle the telescopes and associated infrastructure. That means new lease arrangements must be ready by 2027 or the observatories will have to begin winding down.
“There’s no obvious way around this,” Simons said. He said he’s pressing for the authority to be established as soon as possible to maximize time for negotiations and inevitable legal challenges.
Rich Matsuda, who works for W.M. Keck Observatory and served on the working group, urged the eventual board members to avoid being “stakeholders with narrow interests just trying to ensure that they get their piece of the pie.”
Tensions over telescope construction, he said, caused people to lock down and avoid discussing difficult issues surrounding Mauna Kea. The new law’s prioritization of the mountain’s well being may alter that, he said.
“My hope is that this gives us a chance, if we do it right, to change that dynamic,” Matsuda said. | https://www.kron4.com/technology/ap-technology/hawaii-seeks-end-to-strife-over-astronomy-on-sacred-mountain/ | 2022-08-21T16:09:49Z | https://www.kron4.com/technology/ap-technology/hawaii-seeks-end-to-strife-over-astronomy-on-sacred-mountain/ | false |
BANGKOK — Singapore announced Sunday it will decriminalize sex between men by repealing a colonial-era law while protecting the city-state's definition of marriage.
During his speech at the annual National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he believed it is the "right thing to do now" as most Singaporeans will now accept it.
"This will bring the law into line with current social models and I hope provide some relief to gay Singaporeans," Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said during his speech at the annual National Day Rally.
He said the government will also amend the Constitution to ensure that there can be no constitutional challenge to allow same-sex marriage.
"Even as we repeal Section 377A, we will uphold and safeguard the institution of marriage," Lee said. "We have to amend the Constitution to protect it. And we will do so. This will help us repeal Section 377A in a controlled and careful way."

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Singapore announced Sunday it will decriminalize sex between men by repealing a colonial-era law while protecting the city-state’s traditional norms and its definition of marriage.
During his speech at the annual National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he believed it is the “right thing to do now” as most Singaporeans will now accept it.
“Private sexual behavior between consenting adults does not raise any law and order issue. There is no justification to prosecute people for it nor to make it a crime,” Lee said. “This will bring the law into line with current social mores and I hope provide some relief to gay Singaporeans.”
Lee vowed the repeal will be limited and not shake Singapore’s traditional family and societal norms including how marriage is defined, what children are taught in schools, what is shown on television and general public conduct.
He said the government will amend the constitution to ensure that there can be no constitutional challenge to allow same-sex marriage.
“Even as we repeal Section 377A, we will uphold and safeguard the institution of marriage,” Lee said. “We have to amend the Constitution to protect it. And we will do so. This will help us repeal Section 377A in a controlled and careful way.”
Section 377A of the Penal Code was introduced under British colonial rule in the 1930s. British rule over the island ended in 1963 when Singapore became a state of Malaysia. It became independent two years later but retained the Penal Code, which made sex between men punishable by up to two years in jail.
Since 2007 when Parliament last debated whether to repeal Section 377A, its position was to keep the law but not enforce it.
But gay men say the law hangs over their heads and discriminates against them. Thousands of activists annually stage a rally in the city-state known as the “Pink Dot” in support of the LGBTQ community.
Lee said he hopes the government’s move will help reconcile and accommodate both the concerns of conservative religious groups and the desires of gay Singaporeans to be respected and accepted.
“All groups should exercise restraint, because that is the only way we can move forward as a nation together,” he said. “I hope the new balance will enable Singapore to remain a tolerant and inclusive society for many years to come.”
One of Lee’s nephews, Li Huanwu, is gay. The son of Lee’s estranged younger brother Lee Hsien Yang married his partner in South Africa in 2019. Li Huanwu has attended Pink Dot events with his partner and parents.
Other former British colonies still retain similar laws that criminalize sex between men, including neighboring Malaysia where a former deputy premier was jailed twice for sodomy. He was sentenced in 2000 and again in 2014, in cases that critics say were politically motivated.
In 2018, India decriminalized gay sex after its Supreme Court in a historic ruling struck down Section 377 that punished gay sex by up to 10 years in prison. Some Asian countries have also moved to legalize gay marriage, with Taiwan as the first in 2019. Thailand also recently approved plans allowing same-sex unions. | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/singapore-announces-plans-to-decriminalize-gay-sex/ | 2022-08-21T16:26:52Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/singapore-announces-plans-to-decriminalize-gay-sex/ | false |
Khan’s remarks unbecoming of Governor: CPI(M)
‘He must make clear whether Kannur VC was involved in any criminal activity
Lashing out at Governor Arif Mohammed Khan for branding Kannur University Vice Chancellor Gopinath Ravindran a criminal, the CPI(M) State Secretariat on Sunday said that the statements are unbecoming of the constitutional post that he is holding. The party's salvo against him is the latest episode in a protracted struggle between the ruling party and the Governor, which began with opposition to his contrarian positions, supporting the Union Government's Citizenship Amendment Act and the contentious farm laws.
The CPI(M) demanded that the Governor should make clear whether the Vice Chancellor was involved in any criminal activity for him to be branded so. He had only expressed his differences to a decision taken by the Governor. Instead of responding in a civilised manner, he had used words that are unbecoming of a Governor's post. Mr. Khan had lowered the esteem of the Governor's office to the level of a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh shakha by appointing known RSS men and turning his office into the centre of the group's conspiracies against the government, said the statement.
‘Political intervention’
The party accused him of crossing all limits and making political interventions in an attempt to curry favour with someone. His attempts were also aimed at reversing the gains that Kerala has achieved in the higher education sector in recent years. The State's universities had scored high in various national-level rankings. The LDF government had also been able to kick-start new initiatives, including Digital University and the Sree Narayana Guru Open University. The Governor was reluctant to acknowledge these achievements, said the CPI(M) State secretariat.
The statement also accused him of willfully making provocative comments and interventions with a clear intention ahead of the President, Vice President elections. It reminded him of the conciliatory comments made by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan last year. However, the Governor's later reactions showed that he was undeserving of such comments.

100+ people evacuated from Carlsbad Caverns National Park after being stuck for several hours
"We've been asking about food and water, since we have three small kids," Stephanie Saavedra said.
"We've been asking about food and water, since we have three small kids," Stephanie Saavedra said.
"We've been asking about food and water, since we have three small kids," Stephanie Saavedra said.
An estimated 150 people have been evacuated after they were stranded at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico.
Park officials at the Caverns allowed people to leave safely from the site just before midnight on Saturday.
Earlier that afternoon, flash flooding issues caused officials to issue a shelter-in-place for several hours at their visitor's center. A park ranger told sister station KOAT that the Caverns would be evacuated as soon as an order was given.
Park rangers attempted to evacuate the tourist attraction Saturday afternoon, due to heavy rainfall in the area. However State Road 7, which is one of the main roads that runs near the park, was impassable. That led to the shelter-in-place order.
Albuquerque residents Robert and Stephanie Saavedra were among those stranded at the Caverns, with their three children. Stephanie said they were about halfway done with the tour, when park officials gave the evacuation order. They made a 20-minute walk back out to the visitor center building. The family soon discovered that the road was impassable.
"We've been asking about food and water, since we have three small kids," Stephanie Saavedra said. "They don't even know about food and water for us. We're just walking around and waiting."
The family told KOAT that the staff at the tourist attraction gave them food, but they had to pay for it. They also said the caverns ran out of food, so some people were unable to eat.
As of Sunday morning, the City of Carlsbad has closed the Caverns until further notice.
KOAT will continue to provide updates on air and online as details become available. | https://www.wgal.com/article/carlsbad-caverns-shelter-in-place/40949591 | 2022-08-21T16:33:29Z | https://www.wgal.com/article/carlsbad-caverns-shelter-in-place/40949591 | false |
Farmers in Central Travancore suffer massive losses due to floods
A cumulative loss of over ₹10 crore to the primary sector detected
KOTTAYAMADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT
Extreme weather events and natural disasters have long been common in Central Travancore. But the years after the mega floods of 2018 have shown a pattern of increasing climatic variability and unpredictability.
After the massive loss to crop during the unseasonal rain in April, the extreme rain that hit the region over the two weeks since July 28 have caused a cumulative loss of over ₹10 crore to the primary sector.
As per official estimates, the showers and the resultant floods caused crop damage in over 62.84 hectres of land across Kottayam. The total value of the losses sustained is estimated to be ₹3.01 crore.

According to the Principal Agriculture Officer Geetha Varghese, the Vaikom region reported damage worth ₹1.04 crore, followed by the Kaduthuruthy region.
Among the farmers in the district, those cultivating plantain suffered the heaviest damage (₹2.21 crore), followed by those cultivating natural rubber (₹22.04 lakh).
Pathanamathitta, on the other hand, suffered damages worth ₹7.55 crore across an area of 196.11 hectares. Of these, plantain farms alone reported damages worth around ₹5.60 crore. The loss to the paddy sector, however, was much limited this time, as the harvesting operations across the region was completed by June itself.
Officials point out that these these figures could be only a part of the actual loss suffered. “While these are just preliminary reports, a detailed survey is on to ascertain the losses in the affected areas including Upper Kuttanad,” said a senior officer with the Agriculture Department, Pathanamthitta.
Meanwhile, water level in Manimala and Meenachil rivers, two major drinking water sources in the region that had flown in full spate only a couple of weeks ago has begun to drop sharply after the floods.
As per estimates with the Hydrology sub division office in Kottayam, water level in the Meenachil river recorded a sharp fall of over six meters in just a couple of weeks while that of the Manimala river, which had touched 59.395 meters at Mundakkayam on August 1, too fell drastically.
The drop in river water levels also appears to have a significant impact on the ground water table in the region.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — With COVID-19 still affecting large segments of the population, knowing if you are infected with the virus remains critical, and many still rely on home test kits.
Many of the test kits sent out for free by the government early on had expiration dates of about six months after they were delivered.
However, those expiration dates may not be an indication that you need to throw the kit away. Depending on the brand, your test kit may still be good to use after its expiration date.
While the FDA certifies that home test kits are good for between four to six months, makers have been doing their own research, and new data indicates some brands will be accurate for longer than originally believed.
If the test kit maker can prove to the FDA the shelf life is good beyond the original expiration date, the agency can authorize an extended shelf life.
You can determine if your test kit is still effective beyond the original expiration date by checking the FDA’s list of tests with longer shelf lives. The FDA also includes how long the tests have been extended.
So far, it’s approved 22 brands. If your test kit is not on the list, you should adhere to the expiration date on the test’s packaging.
The FDA warns using an expired kit can create problems because most likely its components have degraded and you won’t get accurate results.
Three rounds of free COVID tests have been made available to Americans. If you haven’t already, you can request your tests at COVIDtests.gov. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/is-your-expired-covid-19-test-kit-still-good-heres-how-to-check/ | 2022-08-21T16:44:08Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/is-your-expired-covid-19-test-kit-still-good-heres-how-to-check/ | false |
(The Hill) – Former President Trump is pushing for the full, unredacted release of the affidavit that led to the search warrant for his Mar-a-Lago estate, a move that carries risks for both Trump and the Justice Department.
“Pres. Trump has made his view clear that the American people should be permitted to see the unredacted affidavit related to the raid and break-in of his home,” Taylor Budowich, a spokesperson for the former president, said Thursday after Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said he may be willing to unseal portions of the document.
Reinhart ordered Justice Department officials to suggest redactions to the document by next Thursday.
“Today, magistrate Judge Reinhard rejected the DOJ’s [Justice Department’s] cynical attempt to hide the whole affidavit from Americans,” Budowich continued. “However, no redactions should be necessary and the whole affidavit should be released, given the Democrats’ penchant for using redactions to hide government corruption, just like they did with the Russia hoax.”
Trump and his supporters have for years believed the FBI and Justice Department are biased against the former president, arguing that the bureau improperly surveilled his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump separately posted on Truth Social, his social media platform, calling for the “immediate release” of the unredacted affidavit, citing the need for transparency. He also called for Reinhart to recuse himself from the case without giving a clear reason.
The rhetoric from Trump and his camp follows a similar playbook, experts say, in which the former president demands the release of potentially sensitive information.
If the government and judge decline to release the full, unredacted document, it allows Trump and his allies to claim federal law enforcement is hiding something, further fueling distrust among Trump supporters.
“It certainly is consistent with a project of delegitimizing law enforcement and law enforcement targeting him in particular,” said Dan Richman, a law professor at Columbia University. “Because he knows, as everybody knows, the government will regardless of the case be averse to the disclosure of search warrants as an institutional matter.”
The affidavit, which was used to convince Reinhart that there was enough evidence to support the probable cause needed to obtain a search warrant, contains information about the federal law enforcement investigation into Trump’s handling of material marked classified following his departure from the White House.
The Justice Department has argued that released the affidavit could jeopardize an ongoing investigation, as well as the sources of information in the case. Releasing identifying information about those sources could lead to threats. Reinhart, for example, has been subjected to threats since signing off on the warrant for the Mar-a-Lago search.
Beyond the risks for the Justice Department, there could be some risks for Trump should the full affidavit come out.
“There is a risk if it seems like he was sharing intel with unauthorized parties while out of office,” said one former Trump adviser, who noted that such details could ultimately be redacted by the government.
Experts also pointed out that the affidavit could reveal exchanges between the Justice Department and Trump’s team discussing the need to return sensitive materials, ultimately showing the government had made multiple good faith efforts to secure the documents in question before resorting to a search warrant.
The release of the affidavit could also carry political risks for Trump if it bolsters the case that Trump mishandled classified information.
Polling has already showed a significant percentage of voters believe Trump may have broken the law as president.
A Politico-Morning Consult poll released days after the Mar-a-Lago search found roughly half of registered voters approved of the raid, though only 15 percent of Republicans approved. And 58 percent of voters said they believe Trump definitely or probably broke the law as president.
While calls to release the affidavit are likely to galvanize his hardcore supporters, it could ultimately create further concerns for the broader public. Trump will have to win over a broader base to win the White House if he runs for president in 2024.
Richman, the Columbia law professor, said he would not expect it to be the end of the matter if the judge opts to release the affidavit with limited or no redactions, saying the government would likely appeal such a decision.
“I would expect that central to the appeal would be the broader institutional question of whether this ought to be done,” Richman said. “It could set a really poor precedent for high profile searches in the future.” | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/trump-pushes-for-un-redacted-affidavits-release-despite-the-risks/ | 2022-08-21T16:44:14Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/trump-pushes-for-un-redacted-affidavits-release-despite-the-risks/ | true |
FORT WORTH, Texas — Count Fort Worth among the Texas cities looking to cut property taxes for its residents thanks to a significantly larger budget.
The city’s proposed $2.3 Billion budget is a 10% jump from last year, one of the largest increases in recent years.
City leaders are proposing a 2-cent property tax reduction to $71.25 per $100 assessed valuation. So, the owner of a home valued at $200,000 would pay $1,425 in city property taxes.
But when asked if residents will actually be paying less, Mayor Mattie Parker was direct.
“The short answer is no,” the Republican said on Inside Texas Politics. “And I recognize that may be a pain for many taxpayers. The Parker family does not like writing their property tax check either.”
Some, in fact, might even see a slight increase in their property tax bill because the value of homes has risen so dramatically.
Water rates, garbage collection fees and stormwater fees are not going up.
But residents’ monthly environmental fee likely will increase from 50-cents to $1.50 every month. The city says this is so more money can be put behind litter cleanup and other efforts to keep the city clean.
For example, Fort Worth currently only has two street sweepers for the entire city. That would jump up to 12 under the new budget.
“We’re showing several graphics in the community right now what it looks like pre- and post- this budget to demonstrate what cleanliness really means from an environmental perspective and get litter off the streets. Help clean up homeless camps. All the things our residents have been telling us they want more of,” Mayor Parker told us.
The budget also focuses on public safety, including hiring 71 new positions for police, including dozens of new patrol officers on the streets.
If you’d like to learn more about Fort Worth’s proposed fiscal year 2023 budget, the city is holding a series of community meetings over the next few weeks.

1922: The Coconino County Board of Supervisors, county engineer Frank Goodman and Edward Miller, supervisor of the Coconino National Forest, are hardly in accord with the various organizations in Yavapai County who are trying so hard to get this county’s part of the highway between Flagstaff and the Jerome section, by way of Oak Creek, made into a real road. The local men are confident that the road will soon be built. The people of this county were practically unanimous for the building of at least a portion of the road this summer with the forest road money to be spent in this county this year. They did all in their power to have the money designated to the Oak Creek Road by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads. But state highway engineer Tom Maddock knew better what this county needs and wants than the people who live here, so he fought the county and practically single-handedly killed the Oak Creek project. It is feared that the limestone macadam road between here and Canyon Padre will within a few years be a poorer road than the one we now have -- most certainly a great deal rougher. Congress has been asked to increase the appropriation for next year's Forest Service road building program and if Congress does, the Forest Service will have the money to build the Oak Creek road down to the Yahoo Pike County line.

On the morning of July 25, a fire was discovered beside the south section of the Kaibab Trail across the Grand Canyon, near the Tonto Plateau, apparently set by a flare dropped from an airplane. Portions of the flare were recovered and sent to the FBI in Washington D.C., and their laboratory section recently reported that it was a night signal flare. The flares were widely used by the military planes during the war as a position marker.

1972: A feasibility report on pumping the water from two lakes located southeast of Flagstaff into the city reservoirs could be ready by sometime in early October. The report was authorized by the Flagstaff City Council early in June after an area rancher offered to sell the city 5,100-acre feet of water annually from Soldiers Annex and Hay lakes, Flagstaff could purchase the water, initial studies showed, for a price ranging from $0.38 per 1,000 gallons to as high as $0.63 per 1,000 gallons. After studying the initial offer and then touring the site of the lakes located adjacent to Hay Lake, Council voted unanimously to authorize an engineering company out of Phoenix to make further feasibility studies. In the event the project proves feasible, it could provide the city with almost 600-acre feet of water more than it uses annually right now.

1997: Out of the way, affordable housing in movie theater construction. Flagstaff's next big building trend looks to be adult assisted living centers. The health are industry is capitalizing on a void in the market for senior adult health care options in northern Arizona and the imminent aging of baby boomers. Plans now could produce 150 rooms where older people can live with some medical assistance. They are building centers for the three stages of adult care–independent living with little medical supervision, assisted living with some medical support and long-term, around-the-clock care. It's the middle stage that is getting a lot of hype. Emeritus Corporation has 60 rooms set for Flagstaff on Woodlands Village Boulevard, Los Arcos Healthcare Center plans to enter the field in the next two to three years, with 40 to 60 assisted living apartments. Northern Arizona Healthcare along with the Museum of Northern Arizona and Intergenerational Living are finishing up plans to build a 60-room center. Even though there are no assisted living centers in Coconino County today, there is enough in the works to make people already start talking about it and a saturated market. Despite the competition, Emeritus, one of the largest senior care providers in America, still plans to move ahead, banking on its service and rates -- which are cheaper than full on nursing homes where prices can reach almost $3,000 a month. | https://azdailysun.com/news/local/flagstaff-history-assisted-living-boomed-in-flagstaff/article_77b8f794-1f08-11ed-b642-3f25669f044e.html | 2022-08-21T17:15:01Z | https://azdailysun.com/news/local/flagstaff-history-assisted-living-boomed-in-flagstaff/article_77b8f794-1f08-11ed-b642-3f25669f044e.html | false |

PARIS, Aug. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Prada announces the worldwide launch of Prada Paradoxe, the new women's fragrance that celebrates the multi-dimensionality of a woman impossible to frame. The campaign features Emma Watson, who plays both the starring role in the film short and makes her directorial debut in realising the film.

The campaign celebrates the myriad unique elements of every woman that come together to create an authentic, ever-evolving whole: a woman that is never the same, yet always herself.
Starring award-winning actor and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson as the conductor of her own symphony of dimensions – the performer, the activist, the actor, the woman – in a dynamic, revelatory short capturing the empowered spirit of Prada Paradoxe.
"I think it was serendipitous that Prada came to me with this project. It was around the time when I had really made a decision in my heart and my head that I wanted to direct – and I found the concept of being a woman who is a paradox so compelling. I hope that the values behind Prada Paradoxe give women a little more space to celebrate themselves, to know that it's ok to be complex and to explore the different facets of themselves that make them the fullest expression of who they are." – Emma Watson, Actor, Director, Activist
"It is an honour to work with Emma Watson, not simply in the capacity of her acting talent, but in her directorial debut. Prada Paradoxe is inspired by the infinite and empowering facets that make every woman unique and Emma wholly embodies this. Her multiple dimensions and ability to speak to highly engaged generations make her the perfect embodiment of Prada Paradoxe." - Yann Andrea, Prada Beauty International General Manager
The Prada Paradoxe film campaign launches worldwide across television, digital channels and outdoor media from August 22nd.
Talent and Film Director: Emma Watson

Diego Fagot was the dominant figure for the Navy football defense for three seasons. The standout inside linebacker was a three-time All-American Athletic Conference selection.
Fagot graduated and is currently in training camp with the Baltimore Ravens.
Meanwhile, the Midshipmen lost another marquee defender in Michael McMorris, a four-year starter at cornerback. McMorris earned an invitation to the rookie/free agent minicamp of the Washington Commanders.
Navy has a large contingent of returning players on defense, but is lacking the star power Fagot and McMorris brought. Starting outside linebacker and captain John Marshall has seized upon the fact the unit does not have any recognizable names — even within the AAC.
“We’re kind of a no-name defense, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to play like a no-name defense. I think by the end of the season we’ll all have a name,” said Marshall, a third-year starter at striker.
Defensive coordinator Brian Newberry agreed, believing there are several defenders who could make a name for themself before all is said and done.
Marshall is a multi-talented player who will be featured and asked to do more things this season. Nicholas Straw, a returning starter at the other hybrid outside linebacker position known as raider, is capable of a breakout senior season.
Newberry believes junior nose guard Donald Berniard Jr. is vastly underrated and sophomore safety Rayuan Lane has a chance to become an impact player after gaining valuable experience in 2021.
“There’s no preseason all-conference players. That doesn’t mean we won’t have some at the end of the season,” Newberry said. “I think we have a lot of good players. We’re just a bunch of guys who have a chip on the shoulder. I think they care more about winning than individual accolades.”
Navy has five full-time returning starters on defense in Berniard, Marshall, Straw, Lane and end Jacob Busic. However, six more Midshipmen started games last season and seven more saw significant action.
“We have a lot of guys coming back who played a lot of meaningful snaps,” Newberry said. “We’ve seen a lot of progress from the end of last season to now with regard to the size, speed and strength of our players.”
Defensive leaders
Marshall was the lone defensive player voted a team captain. Newberry believes the Highland resident was an ideal choice for that role.
Marshall started 20 games the past two seasons and totaled 116 tackles, including nine for loss. Newberry said he is one of the team’s most improved players going into August camp.
“I think John’s teammates voted for him because of the way he carries himself and the work he’s put in. The guys just have a lot of respect for him,” Newberry said. “John doesn’t talk a ton, but when he speaks, guys listen. He’s just been a solid, steady guy throughout his whole career. He’s a guy that comes to work every day and sets a good example for the other players.”
Straw may not hold the title of captain, but Newberry considers him a consummate leader on par with Marshall. He’s made 15 career starts and sets a fine example for the younger players in all areas.
“I think the guys certainly look at Nick like he is a captain,” Newberry said. “I don’t think we have a player on our team with a better work ethic, a better attitude and is as tough as Nick Straw.”
Marshall and Straw are the only senior starters on defense. Raider Max Sandlin and safety Josh Adams are the only other seniors listed on the three-deep.
Impact player?
Newberry was asked recently which Navy defender was so talented and versatile they could be utilized in a variety of ways — a Swiss army knife so to speak.
Newberry felt Lane best fit the description and mentioned he will be used in a variety of roles as well. The Gilman School graduate was pressed into a starting role at free safety as a plebe due to the season-ending injury of senior Kevin Brennan and just got better as the season went along.
“From an athletic ability standpoint, Ray Lane can do a lot of things. He’s a guy you can move around a lot,” Newberry said.
Lane recorded 37 tackles and finished tied for second on the squad with four pass breakups. The Jessup resident made plenty of mistakes along the way and sometimes got caught out of position.
“Like a lot of young guys, Ray is still learning. However, his football knowledge has grown tremendously from having played meaningful snaps and having gone through spring camp,” Newberry said.
Points of emphasis
Newberry has talked a lot about developing Navy defenders into “four-dimensional” performers.
According to the fourth-year defensive coordinator, a one-dimensional player only knows his own responsibilities, while a two-dimensional player also knows the assignments for those positions around him. An individual who develops a thorough understanding of the entire defense reaches the third dimension.
Newberry said Navy needs more defenders to move into the fourth dimension, which means they can recognize or anticipate what the offense wants to do in certain situations.
“We had a lot of one- and two-dimensional players last season and a handful of threes, but not many fours,” Newberry said.
Newberry has not been pleased with the “situational awareness” of the Midshipmen the past two seasons. He said too many members of the defense did not understand the difference between third and short, third and medium and third and long.
Newberry cited first down efficiency and third down effectiveness as particular areas that must improve this season.
“We want to give up three yards or less on first down around 65% of the time and we didn’t do that. We also weren’t very good on third and medium,” he said. “We have to be more disruptive in the early downs. That’s been a major focus this offseason. We need to get teams in third-and-long more often.”
Close competition
One of the better battles during preseason camp has come at the Will inside linebacker position between sophomores Tyler Fletcher and Colin Ramos.
Fletcher started four games and finished sixth on the team with 47 tackles. Fletcher bulked up during the offseason and now checks in at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds. Ramos started the last two games of the season and was impressive.
Finding a home
Matthew Peters was recruited as a quarterback out of Cairo High in Florala, Alabama. He was switched to cornerback after not seeing any varsity action as a freshman or sophomore.
Peters seems to have found a niche as a defensive player and opened preseason camp atop the depth chart at boundary corner.
Newberry loves the length and overall athleticism of Peters, who is still learning on the job.
“I’m excited by the ability of Matthew Peters. He’s got a long way to go, but has all the tools we want at that position,” Newberry said. | https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/ac-cs-navy-football-notebook-defense-20220821-2vnv2t5sgvgp3py3awgf4c633q-story.html | 2022-08-21T17:25:33Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/ac-cs-navy-football-notebook-defense-20220821-2vnv2t5sgvgp3py3awgf4c633q-story.html | true |
JERUSALEM (AP) — The chief executive of embattled Israeli spyware maker NSO has stepped down as part of a corporate reorganization, the company announced Sunday.
NSO has been connected to a number of scandals resulting from alleged misuse by customers of its flagship Pegasus phone surveillance software. Last year, the U.S. placed restrictions on the company, saying its tools had been used to “conduct transnational repression.” NSO denies any wrongdoing.
In a statement, the company said that CEO Shalev Hulio, one of its founders, would be stepping down. Yaron Shohat, the company’s chief operating officer, will lead the firm on an interim basis and manage the reorganization process while it searches for a new CEO.
A company official, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the reorganization efforts, said Hulio is to remain with the company. The official added that 100 employees, or roughly 13% of NSO’s work force, would be dismissed.
Pegasus allows operators to stealthily invade a target’s mobile device, giving them access to contacts, messages and movement history.
The company says that Pegasus is sold only to foreign governments after approval by Israel’s Defense Ministry as a tool for catching criminals and terrorists.
It says it has safeguards in place to prevent abuse, but critics say these safeguards don’t go far enough and NSO has acknowledged it cannot control whom its clients monitor. It says it does not have access to information that is collected.
Critics, including human rights groups and outside researchers, say customers have abused Pegasus to keep tabs on journalists, rights activists and political dissidents from Mexico to Saudi Arabia to the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
NSO does not identify its clients. But the company has acknowledged cutting off at least seven customers for abusing its technology. These reportedly have included authorities in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
Sunday’s statement said firm’s reorganization will examine “all aspects of its business, including streamlining its operations to ensure NSO remains one of the world’s leading high-tech cyber intelligence companies, focusing on NATO-member countries.”
NSO also faces lawsuits from Apple and Facebook accusing the Israeli firm of breaking into their products.
The U.S. Commerce Department’s decision to add NSO to its “entity list” has hurt the company by limiting its access to U.S. components and technology. NSO is challenging the designation.
The company has also been hurt by an Israeli decision late last year to tighten its supervision of cyber exports. That decision, made in the wake of criticism that Israel’s oversight of the digital surveillance industry was too lax, has reduced the number of countries that can purchase Israeli cyber software from over 100 to 37. | https://cbs4indy.com/technology/ap-technology/israeli-spyware-firm-chief-steps-down-amid-nso-restructuring/ | 2022-08-21T17:31:15Z | https://cbs4indy.com/technology/ap-technology/israeli-spyware-firm-chief-steps-down-amid-nso-restructuring/ | false |
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somali authorities on Sunday ended a deadly attack in which 21 people were killed and dozens more wounded when gunmen stormed a hotel in the capital.
It took Somali forces more than 30 hours to contain the fighters who had stormed Mogadishu's Hayat Hotel on Friday evening in an assault that started with loud explosions.
The siege ended around midnight, police commissioner Abdi Hassan Hijar told reporters. “During the attack, the security forces rescued many civilians trapped in the hotel, including women and children," he said.
Health Minister Dr. Ali Haji Adam reported 21 deaths and 117 people wounded, with at least 15 in critical condition. He noted that some victims may not have been brought to hospitals.
Police are yet to give a detailed explanation of how the attack unfolded and it remains unclear how many gunmen entered the hotel.
Ismail Abdi, the hotel's manager, told The Associated Press early Sunday that security forces were still working to clear the area. No more gunfire could be heard after 9 a.m. local time. Onlookers gathered outside the gates of the badly damaged hotel on Sunday morning, surveying the scene.
The Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, which has ties with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest of its frequent attempts to strike places visited by government officials.
Al-Shabab opposes the federal government and the outsiders who support it.
The attack on the hotel is the first major terror incident in Mogadishu since Somalia’s new leader, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, took over in May.
Somalia’s previous president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, avoided any major confrontation with al-Shabab. But Mohamud has said his government will take the offensive against the group’s thousands of fighters, with the backing of returning U.S. forces.
Al-Shabab charged via its Andalus radio station that the attack on the hotel was in response to Mohamud's assertion that he would eliminate the group from Somalia.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack, according to a spokesman's statement that said the U.N. supports the people of Somalia ”in their fight against terrorism and their march towards peace.”
Al-Shabab remains the most lethal Islamic extremist group in Africa.
The group has seized even more territory in recent years, taking advantage of rifts among Somali security personnel as well as disagreements between the government seat in Mogadishu and regional states. It remains the biggest threat to political stability in the volatile Horn of Africa nation.
Forced to retreat from Mogadishu in 2011, al-Shabab is slowly making a comeback from the rural areas to which it retreated, defying the presence of African Union peacekeepers as well as U.S. drone strikes targeting its fighters.
The militants in early May attacked a military base for AU peacekeepers outside Mogadishu, killing many Burundian troops. The attack came just days before the presidential vote that returned Mohamud to power five years after he had been voted out. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/nation-world/gunmen-storm-hotel-in-somali-capital/507-86278c29-d6e8-466b-a7cc-48d982d9992f | 2022-08-21T17:37:17Z | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/nation-world/gunmen-storm-hotel-in-somali-capital/507-86278c29-d6e8-466b-a7cc-48d982d9992f | true |
HBO Max removes nearly 200 'Sesame Street' episodes
HBO Max is axing about 200 episodes of "Sesame Street" from its streaming platform. but the reason for the purge is unclear.
Warner Bros. Discovery recently acquired HBO Max. On Friday, the streaming service listed 456 "Sesame Street" episodes available compared to about 650 that were available previously. HBO Max has not had access to all the show's episodes at the same time.
HBO Max only showcases episodes from seasons 1, 5 and 7, as well as the recent seasons 39-52.
An HBO Max spokesperson shared a statement with Fox News Digital on Saturday regarding to cut back on "Sesame Street."
‘SESAME STREET’ DEBUTS ASIAN AMERICAN MUPPET
"'Sesame Street' is and has always been an important part of television culture and a crown jewel of our preschool offering," the statement began.
"We are committed to continuing to bring ‘Sesame Street’ into families’ homes, including the newest season premiering this fall and the nearly 400 episodes of the most current and historic seasons that remain on Cartoonito on HBO Max."
The upcoming 53rd season will be available on the streaming service, the outlet reported.

HBO and "Sesame Street" joined forces in 2015, which gave the streaming service priority to air all new episodes first, before it can be seen on the show’s longtime home, PBS. This agreement is effective until 2025.
The "Sesame Street" cut comes after HBO made an announcement on Wednesday saying that at least 36 additional shows will be leaving the platform this week.
That includes 20 HBO original shows, as well as "Generation," "Infinity Train," and earlier this month, all eight of the "Harry Potter" films were axed.
Warner Bros. Discovery shared the removal of the shows comes with the new pending contract with Discovery+.

MICHIGAN CITY —Franciscan Health has recognized Horizon Bank for its contribution of $7,500 to the Franciscan Health Foundation in support of the Center of Hope program.
“We are so thankful for all that Horizon has done to help us in our mission to minister to some of the most vulnerable in our community,” said Sister Petra Nielsen, vice president of mission integration for Franciscan Health Michigan City. “We are grateful to have them as one of our community partners.”
The Center of Hope program provides a safe environment for survivors of violence, sexual abuse and trauma. Indiana ranks second in the nation child abuse cases, making the services provided by the Center of Hope an essential part of Franciscan Health’s compassionate care for the community.
Financial support for the Franciscan Health Michigan City Center of Hope assists in the emotional, physical and spiritual healing of those impacted by sexual and physical assault and abuse.

“Horizon Bank is very philanthropic and we’re always looking to give back to the community in which we do business,” Horizon Bank Regional President Steve Kring said. “I can’t imagine what the patients served by Center of Hope go through mentally and physically. To have a place where they can go is so important.”
The sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE) serving Center of Hope are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to care for patients on-site, eliminating the need for patients to be transferred for further examination. The nurses are specially trained in cultural sensitivity, injury identification, evidence preservation, forensic photography, forensic documentation, courtroom testimony and the acute and long-term effects of sexual violence.
“I’m grateful for the support of businesses in our community and the leadership Steve and his colleagues provide,” Franciscan Health Michigan City President and CEO Dean Mazzoni said. “We couldn’t do it without them and the comfort these services provide is truly essential.”
Debbie Tatum, director of development for the Franciscan Health Foundation, said Horizon Bank donated $5,000 in 2021 and $2,500 in 2022 for Center of Hope.
“Horizon Bank has a strong presence in Michigan City,” Tatum said. “This two-year donation shows their commitment to the community and we’re really thankful for their support.”

SPRINGDALE, Utah (KTVX) – Zion National Park officials are searching for a missing hiker after flash flooding swept several people downstream late last week.
A spokesperson with Zion National Park, Jonathan Shafer, said park officials responded to the incident at 2:15 p.m. on Friday after receiving a report that “multiple hikers” had been “swept off their feet” by flash flooding in the Narrows at the Virgin River near the Temple of Sinawava.
The National Park Service sent park rangers to conduct a large-scale response.
An injured hiker was found near the Temple of Sinawava. That hiker, who had been swept downstream for several hundred yards, was taken to a nearby hospital, Shafer said.
When other rangers hiked further up, they found several people who were on high ground, separated by high water. The hikers were told to remain where they were until the water receded, at which point rangers helped them to safety.
More than 20 search and rescue team members were deployed along the Virgin River, officials say.
While speaking with visitors Friday evening, rangers said no members were reported missing. However, later that night, friends reported Jetal Agnihotri of Tucson, Arizona, was overdue from a trip to the Narrows.
Rangers monitored the Virgin River for Agnihotri, and conducted additional searches early Saturday. Authorities have not yet said if these searches have been successful.
The Narrows and Riverside Walk will remain closed, according to Zion National Park, as the search and rescue team searches for Agnihotri.
Zion National Park is the latest national park to be hit by flooding this summer.
On Saturday, roughly 150 people were stranded in Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southern New Mexico due to flash flooding, NewsNation reports. The park is closed Sunday due to flooding, officials say.
In early August, Death Valley National Park was hit by historic downpours from monsoonal thunderstorms, causing millions of dollars in damages. This summer’s active monsoon also damaged roads in the Mojave National Preserve and part of Joshua Tree National Park.
Historic flooding also forced Yellowstone National Park to close in June. Northern and northeastern entrances remain closed to vehicles.

The Portsmouth Area Arts Council and Children’s Theatre (PAAC) Board of Directors have announced a stunning lineup of shows for the 2022-2023 performance season.
The season consists of junior and senior company productions and will showcase Mary Poppins The Broadway Musical, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and Oliver! Jr.
“What an exciting year this will be at the Portsmouth Area Children’s Theatre,” Executive Director Bailey Hartlage said. “While it’s most definitely PACT’s most ambitious season to date, I think it will also be our most rewarding. Having a Junior and Senior Company is what the Children’s Theatre was founded on, and I’m eager to see the students thrive in their respective age groups in the spring. I think it is equally important, though, for kids of all ages to work together since that is so rarely seen in other extracurricular activities. The younger students learn so much from their older peers, and you would be surprised at how much the older students learn from the younger ones in return. Providing these diverse opportunities for our students was a top priority when planning this season, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Auditions were recently held for the season opener: Mary Poppins The Broadway Musical. The show will run Thursday, November 17 at 10 a.m., Friday, November 18 at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., Saturday, November 19 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, November 20 at 2:30 p.m.
The story follows the same plot as one of Disney’s most darling and timeless stories of the same name. The original Broadway run impressed audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The remaining shows have not yet been cast and audition dates will be made available on their website as the shows get closer.
The following show will be The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which is based on the Charles Dickens final, unfinished novel. According to PAAC, “this hilarious whodunit invites the audience to solve its mystery by choosing the identity of the murderer. The tale is presented as a show-within-a-show, as the Music Hall Royale – a delightfully loony Victorian theatre company – presents Dickens’ brooding mystery.”
This show will be performed by the PAAC senior company on Friday, March 17 at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., Saturday, March 18 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 19 at 2:30 p.m.
The final show of the season will be Oliver! Jr., performed by PAAC’s Junior Company. PAAC is asking audiences to consider themselves at home with the Broadway Junior version of Lionel Bart’s classic musical based on Charles Dickens’ novel, Oliver Twist.
According to PAAC’s description, “The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.”
The show will run Thursday, May 4 at 10 a.m., Friday, May 5 at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., and Saturday, May 6 at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.
One of the key features of the season is the hiring of a single artistic director to lead the junior and senior companies through the season, a PAAC alum herself, Alison Thompson. Thompson, who has majored in theatre, has worked in many companies around the country, and has recently performed locally as well, is excited to pass skills she has learned to the next generation of young thespians.
Hartlage believes it is important to have professionals, especially those with heart for the program like Thompson, to be instructing the children within the program.
“After working with Ali on Honk and Matilda, I was so glad when she wanted to come back for a full season,” Bailey explained. “The students have learned so much from her professional theatre experience, and it’s clear to see their growth in their performances each show. She’s also just an amazing human to work with and makes sure to create a safe and creative space for the kids during rehearsals. Our mission is to provide accessible and educational theatre experiences for our local students, but providing a place where kids can be themselves and make new friends is just as important, and Ali delivers on all those and more.”
The best way to stay up to date on all that happens is by liking Portsmouth Area Arts Council on Facebook, where they post about auditions and show information, as well as other programming opportunities throughout the year.
The Portsmouth Area Arts Council operates with grant funding through organizations like The Scioto Foundation, The Ohio Arts Council, and generous donations from several local businesses and individuals in the community. For information about supporting the Arts Council, please contact the office at (740) 351-3642 to learn about their giving programs, including their endowment funds with the Scioto Foundation and Shawnee State University.
“This season has something for everyone! Families will love seeing the magic of Mary Poppins, literary lovers will be delighted to see two Charles Dickens works brought to life, and anyone who wants to see children in our area succeed and have fun will witness that at all three productions,” Hartlage said. “Support your local Children’s Theatre by making a trip to the VRCFA this season, and if you have a young performer in your life, send them to one of our auditions in the spring!”

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Indiana State University announced Sunday that three students died in a single-vehicle accident.
A release from the university's athletics department said five people were in the vehicle when it crashed, including several football players. Police were working to identify the three who died.
Vigo County Sheriff John Plasse said the crash occurred around 1:30 a.m. Sunday in Riley, Indiana. The vehicle left the roadway and hit a tree. It was on fire when deputies arrived.
Two passengers were able to be freed from the vehicle and were being treated for serious injuries, Plasse said. The driver and two other passengers were pronounced dead at the scene.
University President Deborah J. Curtis called the crash “a terrible tragedy.”
Riley is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the university’s Terre Haute campus. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/3-indiana-state-university-students-killed-in-car-crash/article_d0581e03-39aa-51da-91b8-5e5d01e80b69.html | 2022-08-21T18:06:51Z | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/3-indiana-state-university-students-killed-in-car-crash/article_d0581e03-39aa-51da-91b8-5e5d01e80b69.html | false |
Explained | The OpenSea tale on the future of NFTs
How has the NFT industry dealt with the fallout of the crypto market? What are some of the issues users had with OpenSea?
ADVERTISEMENT
The story so far: The writing is on the wall for the crypto market. Popular cryptocurrencies have nosedived after a meteoric rise last year. Several crypto exchanges laid off a significant portion of their employees and lending platforms are struggling to remain solvent. Being part of this ecosystem, non-fungible tokens, or NFTs also took a hit as a result of the crypto fallout.

What are NFTs?
NFTs are digital assets whose ownership is verified through transaction records stored on blockchains. Art work, digital avatars and accessorised monkeys are some of the most commonly traded NFTs. OpenSea is said to be one of the largest NFT marketplaces in existence. Earlier this year, the platform was valued at over $13 billion after raising around $300 million in venture capital. By August 2022, based on Ethereum blockchain data, OpenSea was used by two million traders who transacted at least once on the network.
What is OpenSea’s place in the sector?
OpenSea was built on the Ethereum blockchain to trade NFTs. The digital goods sales on the platform jumped in August 2021, according to analytics platform Dune Analytics. In November, Bitcoin and Ether hit their all-time high as the market reached a state of ecstasy. OpenSea monthly volumes soared between December 2021 and January 2022. In January OpenSea’s monthly volumes for Ethereum shot over $4.8 billion. In February and March, monthly transactions plunged before rising again in April. That recovery was brief as the collapse of TerraUSD [UST] stablecoin and its partner coin LUNA wiped billions of dollars in shareholder wealth off the market in May 2022. As a result, both Bitcoin and Ether fell and more than halved in value during the first six months of 2022. Daily transactions on OpenSea have been gradually declining since then.
OpenSea’s June trade volume dropped to about $695 million. It further dropped about 30% in July to $528 million. Adding to the heavy loss in volume, the number of NFTs sold (Ethereum blockchain) have also been declining since January 2022, which saw the sale of more than two million NFTs. July 2022 saw around 1,702,302 NFTs sold at the time of writing. However, this followed increases in May and June 2022. But NFT trades on OpenSea for the Polygon blockchain show even fewer transactions. Monthly volumes fell to about $6.4 million from nearly $80 million between January and July 2022.

Can users trust OpenSea?
While proponents of NFTs laud these assets as a way to revolutionise the art scene or explore new models of proving ownership, OpenSea users complain of excessive downtime on the platform. There have also been reports of breaches and security vulnerabilities. In one such instance, an employee of the platform’s email delivery vendor had caused the security breach.
“We recently learned that an employee of Customer.io, our email delivery vendor, misused their employee access to download and share email addresses — provided by OpenSea users and subscribers to our newsletter — with an unauthorised external party. If you have shared your email with OpenSea in the past, you should assume you were impacted. We are working with Customer.io in their ongoing investigation, and we have reported this incident to law enforcement,” said OpenSea on June 29.
In late February 2022, at least 17 OpenSea users were targeted by an alleged phishing attempt. There are also ethics-related issues. A number of artists have complained that OpenSea users frequently steal their work, mint them as NFTs, and begin profiting from them without their consent. These artists have lambasted the NFT platform for not doing enough to combat art theft and also making the stolen art takedown process troublesome for non-crypto users.
Can influencers do it all for NFTs?
Celebrities played a key role in boosting NFT sales, either by buying their own such assets or minting them and putting them up for sale on platforms like OpenSea. One of the best known OpenSea collections was musician Shawn Mendes’ collaboration with Genies to offer NFT versions of himself, and virtual accessories such as his guitar, a shirt, and even a decorative vest. One such NFT was priced at 5.5 ETH (over $10,000 on August 19). But its last sale was 0.6942 ETH (less than $2,000 on August 19). Coming to mainstream fame, OpenSea and Twitter Blue partnered in order to let Twitter users upload their Ethereum-minted NFTs and have them verified with a special hexagonal frame. In a matter of days, if not hours, Twitter evolved to show which celebrities and influencers were still firmly behind the NFT boom.
Yet while celebrity endorsement or digital collectibles of celebrities may lead to brief surges in popularity, they are far from what is needed to keep the industry financially viable.
Is OpenSea falling at last?
Perhaps no development can better encapsulate the rise and fall of OpenSea than the incident which took place on July 14.
The crypto bull run and the NFT boom of 2021 saw Web3 companies launching into a hiring spree in order to scale operations at a rapid pace. However, as Bitcoin and Ether more than halved in value after the May 2022 crash, a long list of global crypto companies began firing huge sections of their workforce.
On July 14, OpenSea co-founder and CEO Devin Finzer announced that it was a “hard day” for the company, which was firing 20% of its team.
“Nevertheless, the reality is that we have entered an unprecedented combination of crypto winter and broad macroeconomic instability, and we need to prepare the company for the possibility of a prolonged downturn,” he said in a message shared on Twitter.
Mr. Finzer stressed on OpenSea’s strong balance sheet and its ability to survive the ongoing crypto winter with the available runway. He claimed OpenSea to be in “an even better position to capture what will soon become the largest market on the planet.”
While many might conclude that the era of NFTs is over and it’s time to exit their positions and give up their creations, there are always others in the world of crypto who believe that panic sellers are giving them generous discounts.

Extending fertility could also extend life of women, research says
(CNN) – Lengthening a woman’s fertility may extend her life as well.
Research shows women who have later menopause tend to live longer. Ovaries age twice as fast as all other tissues, which affects fertility and long-term health.
Researchers say when the ovaries stop working due to menopause they stop making a cocktail of hormones important for general health.
The average age of natural menopause is 51.
However, there is still little data about why women go through menopause at all. One reason for this is a historical lack of funding for reproductive research.
With the help of investors, there is now a Center for Reproductive Longevity and Equality.
The center is researching the underlying causes of accelerated aging in the ovaries.

The Sky Bet Sunday Series came to an exciting close as Evaluation was denied a £100,000 bonus by a nose in a photo finish in the final race at Sandown.
The sponsors put up the six-figure bonus for any horse that could win three times during the Sky Bet Sunday Series and Keith Dalgeish's horse teed himself up for a crack at the pot by winning at York and Musselburgh.
He hit the front inside the final quarter mile but wandered around under Jason Hart which allowed William Jarvis' Duke Of Verona to get up in a frantic climax under Cieren Fallon.
The four-year-old, who joined Dalgleish from Sir Michael Stoute for 30,000gns last October having formerly been owned by The Queen, has recouped that outlay by winning four of his six starts for the stable, including those all-important Sunday Series Handicaps at York and Musselburgh that entitled connections to go for the £100,000.
Sky Bet spokesman Michael Shinners said: "I'm absolutely sick for them it was so close. The Keith Dalgleish team have been great supporters of the Sky Bet Sunday Series.
"It at least shows that the bonus is winnable. The Sunday Series has been a real success, the field sizes have been brilliant and everyone has enjoyed it."

Will Smith is officially back on the 'gram.
After teasing his return to social media, the actor shared a video of himself and his son Trey Smith, 29, facing off against a spider.
In the clip, posted to Instagram in the late hours of Aug. 20, the father-son duo notice that a huge tarantula was just a few feet away from them. "What in the hell," Will says while filming the video. "That is a big ass spider."
Someone else in the clip, presumably Trey, adds "that's a tarantula".
Will, 53, then laughs and shows his feet, commenting that he is standing up on a chair to be away from the ground on which the spider is walking. He captioned the video, "Posting this from a Holiday Inn."
Jamie Foxx commented on the post with three laughing/crying emojis while comedian Savvy Amusing wrote, "Yaw safely got that out good thing you seen it bro you would of been Peter Parker in the a.m."
Red Table Talk host Adrienne "Gam" Norris—Will's mother-in-law— also weighed in, commenting, "When y'all get thru, come get the one in my yard! Pls and thank you! Friggin jungle out here!!!!"
Just one day prior, Will seemed to test the social media waters by posting a video of a baby gorilla poking a large adult gorilla. In the clip, the baby gorilla nervously walks up to the adult gorilla and pokes its back before running away. The baby gorilla does again and the adult gorilla runs after him in anger.
The video was captioned, "Me trying to get back on social media."
Will's fans quickly took to the post's comments section, sharing their support. "We will welcome you back man!," commented one fan. "We've missed you! Everyone goes through s--t. You're human, just like the rest of us! COME BACK WILL!"
Another wrote, "We all make mistakes. C'mon back bro."
The King Richard star initially took a hiatus social media back in March after he slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. In the aftermath, Will resigned from the Academy and was banned from its events for the next 10 years. He also issued an online apology admitting his actions at the Oscars were "unacceptable and inexcusable," before going social media silent for four months.
Will then broke his online silence in July, posting a seven-minute long YouTube video saying he was "deeply remorseful" for his actions at the award show and admitted that his behavior was unacceptable.
"There is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment," he said. "There is no part of me that thinks that's the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults." | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1342883/see-the-wild-way-will-smith-returned-to-social-media-after-oscars-slap?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-08-21T18:29:08Z | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1342883/see-the-wild-way-will-smith-returned-to-social-media-after-oscars-slap?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | false |
SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
Some kind of milestone may have been reached this year - more people have died taking selfies in 2015 than from shark attacks. Six people have died from shark attacks this year, but at least 12 people have been killed taking a selfie, often as they pose, strut or dangle in front imposing or precarious places. When people are fully engaged in the self-expression process of selfies, they may be too focused on themselves. Lin Qiu, who conducted the study for Nanyang Technical University, told the New York Daily News, they pay little attention to their surroundings, which may be inappropriate or dangerous. This rising tide of lethal selfies has prompted response around the world.
Authorities put a fence around a cliff of what's called the Wedding Cake Rock in Australia's Royal National Park because people had posted so many photos that showed them doing handstands on the cliff's edge. And Russian officials have put up posters in tourist spots that caution, a cool selfie could cost you your life. I'd like to propose another slogan, too - friends don't let friends drink and take selfies.

Newcastle serves warning by giving City major fright in EPL
In years to come, if Newcastle is contending for Premier League and Champions League titles as widely expected, the Saudi-funded team might look back on this game as the one when it truly arrived as a force in soccer.
Few opponents have given Manchester City the kind of battering Newcastle dished out in the first half of a rip-roaring 3-3 draw on Sunday.
And when Kieran Trippier curled a stunning free kick into the top corner to put a rampant Newcastle 3-1 ahead in the 54th minute, it looked as if City was going to slump to one of its heaviest Premier League losses under Pep Guardiola.
However, City is the champion for a reason and goals in the 60th by Erling Haaland and the 64th by Bernardo Silva - following a wondrous pass from Kevin De Bruyne - salvaged a point that will be gratefully accepted by Guardiola.
"We said before the game we wanted to go toe-to-toe with them and that's what we did," Trippier said. "It just shows how far we've come."
Indeed, this was a warning served by one of European soccer´s growing forces nearly a year into the reign of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which has invited accusations of sportswashing.

After two transfer windows of the new era, Newcastle is a team transformed. Even compared to a few months ago, with City having swept aside Eddie Howe's team 5-0 as recently as May on the way to clinching the title last season.
City went ahead through Ilkay Gundogan in the fifth minute, only to be pummeled by wave after wave of Newcastle attacks that led to goals from Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson before halftime.
"We really wanted to win that game to show the world what we are capable of doing," said Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin, who caused most of the problems for City.
Both teams remained unbeaten after three games, with City dropping points for the first time. The champions will likely be happy to escape from St. James' Park with a point.
"Newcastle are becoming one of the toughest opponents, for sure," Guardiola said.
AMERICANS POWERING LEEDS
With its contingent of Americans, Leeds is proving to be one of the big early-season surprises in the Premier League.
Chelsea certainly couldn´t handle them on Sunday.
Leeds gained from a bad mistake from Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to take a 33rd-minute lead through U.S. winger Brenden Aaronson and went on to win 3-0 at Elland Road.
Rodrigo, with his league-high fourth goal of the season, and Jack Harrison set each other up for the second and third goals, respectively.
The team coached by Jesse Marsch is up to third place on seven points from a possible nine having already beaten Wolverhampton and drawn at Southampton, where it squandered a 2-0 lead.
WEST HAM STRUGGLING
After two better-than-expected Premier League campaigns under David Moyes, West Ham might be a set for tough season this time.
A 2-0 home loss to Brighton condemned West Ham to a third straight defeat to open the season. Perhaps it was to be expected, given Brighton has never lost this fixture in 10 previous Premier League meetings between the teams.
West Ham, which finished sixth in 2020-21 and seventh last season, has now lost 2-0 to Man City and 1-0 at Nottingham Forest and is in last place.
It was a tough full debut for defender Thilo Kehrer, recently signed from Paris Saint-Germain. His Premier League career started inauspiciously when he brought down Danny Welbeck to concede a penalty converted by Alexis Mac Allister.
Leandro Trossard scored the other goal.

Arsenal lead the way in the Premier League after making it three wins from three against Bournemouth.
Manchester City had to fight back to claim a 3-3 draw with an impressive Newcastle at St James’ Park while Chelsea were beaten by Leeds but Tottenham, Brighton and Fulham all remain unbeaten.
Here, the PA news agency picks out five things we learned this weekend.
Patience is a virtue
Three games is of course far too few to make projections for the rest of the season – except perhaps that City remain the team to beat – but this has been a wonderful start for Arsenal fans. They once again have an exciting side, with summer signing Gabriel Jesus an instant hit, while at the back William Saliba looks the real deal. There were calls for manager Mikel Arteta to be sacked at the same stage last season when they lost their first three matches. What a difference a year makes.
Leicester lows
The emotions are very different at Leicester, where the Foxes have collected just one point from three games after losing at home to Southampton. They were without Wesley Fofana, who boss Brendan Rodgers said was “not quite in the right frame of mind” amid interest from Chelsea. The Foxes can ill afford to lose Fofana, while Youri Tielemans and James Maddison are also attracting interest. There is a lot of work ahead for manager Brendan Rodgers but Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is breathing more easily after victory for his young side.
Mitrovic meeting expectations
Aleksandar Mitrovic’s goal-scoring record in the Championship is phenomenal but it has been a different story in the Premier League until now. Since moving to Fulham in 2018, the Serbia striker averages 0.8 goals per game in the second tier but only 0.25 in the top flight. However, Mitrovic could be much more of a force in the Premier League this time if his start is anything to go by. After two goals against Liverpool, the 27-year-old grabbed an injury time winner against Brentford on Sunday. His form will be crucial to Fulham’s prospects.
Palace promise
Wilfried Zaha’s importance to Crystal Palace is, of course, no secret. But knowing the winger’s danger and stopping him are two very different things, as he proved again with two goals in Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Aston Villa. Zaha has scored in each of the Eagles’ last seven top-flight victories, and his two goals on Saturday helped them to a first Premier League win of the campaign. Ebere Eze also impressed and can be another key man this season for Patrick Vieira.
Brighton and Leeds soaring
It was a super Sunday for both Brighton and Leeds, with the Seagulls defeating West Ham, who have yet to pick up a point, 2-0 and Leeds stunning Chelsea 3-0. Having battled against relegation all last season, the signs are a lot more positive this time for Jesse Marsch’s side, and the American manager must be close to winning over his remaining critics. Graham Potter’s stock was already high but the Seagulls continue to punch above their weight. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3615532/arteta-making-his-mark-fragile-foxes-and-promising-palace-5-things-we-learned/ | 2022-08-21T18:44:08Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3615532/arteta-making-his-mark-fragile-foxes-and-promising-palace-5-things-we-learned/ | true |
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — With COVID-19 still affecting large segments of the population, knowing if you are infected with the virus remains critical, and many still rely on home test kits.
Many of the test kits sent out for free by the government early on had expiration dates of about six months after they were delivered.
However, those expiration dates may not be an indication that you need to throw the kit away. Depending on the brand, your test kit may still be good to use after its expiration date.
While the FDA certifies that home test kits are good for between four to six months, makers have been doing their own research, and new data indicates some brands will be accurate for longer than originally believed.
If the test kit maker can prove to the FDA the shelf life is good beyond the original expiration date, the agency can authorize an extended shelf life.
You can determine if your test kit is still effective beyond the original expiration date by checking the FDA’s list of tests with longer shelf lives. The FDA also includes how long the tests have been extended.
So far, it’s approved 22 brands. If your test kit is not on the list, you should adhere to the expiration date on the test’s packaging.
The FDA warns using an expired kit can create problems because most likely its components have degraded and you won’t get accurate results.
Three rounds of free COVID tests have been made available to Americans. If you haven’t already, you can request your tests at COVIDtests.gov. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national-news/is-your-expired-covid-19-test-kit-still-good-heres-how-to-check/ | 2022-08-21T18:44:28Z | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national-news/is-your-expired-covid-19-test-kit-still-good-heres-how-to-check/ | false |

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Wichita State Students are working to help workforce training centers to best serve their communities.
WSU’s Public Policy and Management Center has students act as secret shoppers to help improve training at workforce centers.
Students create a mock scenario about why they are using the workforce center, make an appointment, and use the service.
They then fill out a survey sharing how the training center did and what they can improve on.
“They are providing a really important and vital service to their communities. And to have people who are similar to the people that they serve and who are looking for specific things that they know would be helpful to those people especially since we try to include people from all kinds of demographics I think it is important to have that feedback,” said WSU Master’s Student, Elizabeth Ewers.
There have been multiple projects around Kansas and some in Nebraska.
And so far they said it has helped the training center pinpoint certain issues.
“We were able to say hey here is an area where you can improve these are things from environmental like maybe how they access the bathrooms or how comfortable they feel telling their story the amount of privacy they get,” said WSU Public Policy and Management Center Research and Program Evaluation Manager, Dulcinea Rakestraw.
This past summer they received a $7,000 grant to help continue the program. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/wsu-students-helping-workforce-training-centers-with-secret-shoppers/ | 2022-08-21T19:03:38Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/wsu-students-helping-workforce-training-centers-with-secret-shoppers/ | false |

Wisconsin Watch
In 2020, 14 girls under the age of 15 had induced abortions in Wisconsin, according to the latest data from the Department of Health Services. In 2017, that number was 17. That same year, the latest for which data is available, 24 girls between the ages of 10 and 14 gave birth. The Department does not appear to track maternal mortality under age 15.
“Pregnancy is very risky in children,” Dr. Wendy Molaska, physician and president of the Wisconsin Medical Society, tells Wisconsin Watch by email.
Molaska has seen children as young as 9 years old become pregnant. Last month, the story of a 10-year-old girl made international headlines after she had to travel from her home in Ohio to Indiana to receive an abortion.
Though the DHS has recorded a small number of induced abortions in early adolescents in recent years — hovering between 17 and 11 since 2013 — these disruptive, risky pregnancies pose an even greater challenge in a post-Roe Wisconsin.
Wisconsin’s age of consent for sexual intercourse is 18 years old. But Wisconsin’s near-total abortion ban does not contain an exemption for rape or incest.
It does, however, contain an exemption for so-called therapeutic abortions deemed necessary “to save the life of the mother.” Although the medical field universally recognizes that adolescent pregnancy comes with risks, doctors appear split on whether Wisconsin’s legal exemption would apply to young teenagers and girls.
Molaska says that under the Medical Society’s current interpretation of Wisconsin’s ban, “it does not allow for abortion in children just due to size and age.”
“This is again the gray area of medicine,” she writes. “Who determines when a person’s life is at risk enough to allow them to undergo an abortion?”
Dr. Shefaali Sharma, a Madison-based obstetrician and gynecologist, says that adolescent pregnancies pose increased health risks to both mother and child.
Pregnant girls might struggle with insufficient weight or anemia, which could lead to problems with fetal growth. They’re at higher risk for preeclampsia, a condition of severely elevated blood pressure, and eclampsia, an associated seizure, as well as preterm delivery, which carries numerous complications.
Young girls — who are still growing themselves — may have narrow pelvises that prevent safe vaginal births, requiring a cesarean section. Preterm births may require a vertical, rather than horizontal, cesarean incision, which prevents any future vaginal delivery.
Abortion procedures like dilation and curettage or dilation and evacuation are “exponentially safer,” says Sharma, “than a 13, 14, 15 year old undergoing a cesarean section, particularly in terms of their long-term reproductive health and autonomy in the future.”
There’s also associated social, emotional and psychological risks for parent and child, says Sharma. Untreated perinatal and postnatal depression and anxiety can affect the baby. Teenage mothers are less likely to graduate high school and more likely to face economic difficulties — problems their children are more likely to experience as well.
All these lead Sharma to conclude that providing an abortion to a young girl would constitute a life-saving procedure.
“She easily has an increased risk of dying in childbirth,” Sharma says. “She usually has an increased risk of a very morbid delivery and cesarean section if she doesn’t have other complications related to the pregnancy, like an eclamptic seizure, and, you know, lose brain function and be completely unable not only to live her own life and grow into an adult, but care for another child or baby.”
Adds Sharma, “The lack of consent alone, resulting in an outcome that puts her life at risk — that’s a life-saving procedure.” | https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2022/08/21/wisconsin-doctors-split-on-whether-risky-child-pregnancies-warrant-life-saving-exception/ | 2022-08-21T19:07:10Z | https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2022/08/21/wisconsin-doctors-split-on-whether-risky-child-pregnancies-warrant-life-saving-exception/ | true |
Georgia jury awards $1.7 billion in Ford truck crash case
WOODSTOCK, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia jury has returned a $1.7 billion verdict against Ford Motor Co. involving a pickup truck crash that claimed the lives of a Georgia couple, their lawyers confirmed.
Jurors in Gwinnett County, just northeast of Atlanta, returned the verdict late last week in the yearslong civil case involving what the plaintiffs’ lawyers called dangerously defective roofs on Ford pickup trucks, lawyer James Butler Jr. said Sunday.
Melvin and Voncile Hill were killed in April 2014 in the rollover wreck of their 2002 Ford F-250. Their children Kim and Adam Hill were the plaintiffs in the wrongful death case.
“I used to buy Ford trucks,” Butler said on Sunday. “I thought nobody would sell a truck with a roof this weak. The damn thing is useless in a wreck. You might as well drive a convertible.”
Ford did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday. But in closing arguments, lawyers hired by the company defended the actions of Ford and its engineers.
The Michigan-based automaker sought to defend the company against accusations “that Ford and its engineers acted willfully and wantonly, with a conscious indifference for the safety of the people who ride in their cars when they made these decisions about roof strength,” defense lawyer William Withrow Jr. said in his closing arguments, according to a court transcript.
The allegation that Ford was irresponsible and willfully made decisions that put customers at risk is “simply not the case,” another defense lawyer, Paul Malek, said in the same closing argument.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs had submitted evidence of nearly 80 similar rollover wrecks that involved truck roofs being crushed that injured or killed motorist, Butler’s law firm, Butler Prather LLP, said in a statement.
“More deaths and severe injuries are certain because millions of these trucks are on the road,” Butler’s co-counsel, Gerald Davidson, said in the statement.
“An award of punitive damages to hopefully warn people riding around in the millions of those trucks Ford sold was the reason the Hill family insisted on a verdict,” Butler said.

According to the U.S Attorney's Office for the Nothern District of Texas, a Dallas lawyer has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for conspiring to launder money he believed was linked to narcotics trafficking.
52-year-old Rayshun Jackon of The Jackson Law Firm was arrested in April 2021and plead guilty to conspiracy to launder money in September 2021.
Mr. Jackson admitted to laundering $380,000 for an individual he believed was a drug trafficker, but was actually an undercover DEA agent, according to the plea papers.
He was introduced to the agent on Sept. 3, 2020, by "Person A," the leader of a large-scale opioid distribution ring known to deal in illegally diverted narcotics. After Person A vouched for the undercover agent's credibility, Mr. Jackson and the undercover agent talked about how the attorney could "clean" the agent's "dope money."
Mr. Jackson advised the agent that he could launder around $500,000 a month by funneling it through non-traceable cash businesses (i.e., coin laundries, car washes) and shell corporations.
"Ray is the bomb. He's a thug, he's just got a law degree," Person A told the undercover agent after the meeting, according to court documents.
The undercover agent delivered a black backpack filled with $100,000 cash to Mr. Jackson at his office just three weeks later. Jackson agreed to launder the money for a 4% fee and a 1% bonus in cash upfront. After depositing the remaining $95,000 into various firm bank accounts in various amounts on various days, he eventually transferred the entire sum into the DEA's undercover bank account.
Local
The latest news from around North Texas.
The following month, the undercover agent delivered an additional $300,000 cash to Mr. Jackson at his office with the same fees as before for laundering the money. After depositing the remaining $285,000 into his various firm bank accounts in various amounts on various days, he eventually transferred the same amount into the DEA's undercover bank account.
Mr. Jackson admitted to knowing of the unlawful purpose of the agreement and joined in it willingly, according to plea papers.
"The sentencing of Rayshun Jackson marks the end of a successful investigation by DEA Dallas. Criminal drug organizations need a combination of individuals who are willing to distribute drugs as well as those who hide and attempt to legitimize profits," said DEA Dallas Special Agent in Charge, Eduardo A. Chávez. "Mr. Jackson agreed to launder what he believed to be drug proceeds with DEA undercover. The sentencing of Mr. Jackson is just. With overdose deaths and poisonings reaching record highs, everyone will be held accountable for their criminal actions."
During the sentencing hearing, the prosecutor told the court that a five-year sentence would reflect the seriousness of the offense, promote respect for the law, and provide just punishment.
"Individuals such as Mr. Jackson, who use money laundering methods to conceal the true source of illegal drug profits, run the risk of serving jail time," said Christopher J. Altemus, Jr., Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation Dallas Field Office. "The sentence imposed by the court is a reminder to criminals that money laundering schemes will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted. IRS-CI special agents are proud to work hand-in-hand with our law enforcement partners to bring criminals like Mr. Jackson to justice."
The investigation was conducted by The Drug Enforcement Administration's Dallas Field Office and IRS - Criminal Investigations along with the Dallas Police Department. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-attorney-sentenced-to-5-years-for-laundering-drug-money/3053493/ | 2022-08-21T19:12:33Z | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-attorney-sentenced-to-5-years-for-laundering-drug-money/3053493/ | false |

DOWNS-SOLINGTON DEM A 02 EUR DEROMA D07 MIL MIADE POL Transcript: David Laufman and Rikki Klieman on “Face the Nation”
▶ Watch Video: Where the Justice Department’s Trump investigation goes from here
The following is a transcript of an interview with former Justice Department official David Laufman and CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman that aired Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022, on “Face the Nation.”
ED O’KEEFE: Now for a more detailed look at all of the legal problems swirling around former President Donald Trump. We’re joined by Rikki Klieman, criminal defense lawyer and a CBS News legal analyst. And here in Washington, David Laufman, former chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence and export control section. Great to have both of you with us. David, I want to begin with you. You’re the former head of the division of the Justice Department that’s now led by a guy named Jay Bratt who argued in court this week regarding the potential release of this affidavit, that it may quote, “chill future cooperation by witnesses whose assistance may be sought as this investigation progresses, as well as in other high profile investigations.” You agree with his assessment?
FORMER CHIEF OF COUNTERINTELLIGENCE DAVID LAUFMAN: Based on my experience with the Department of Justice, that’s absolutely correct. Especially in the early stages of an investigation, the Justice Department and the FBI want to do everything they can to protect the integrity and confidential law enforcement actions that are being taken.
ED O’KEEFE: Do you have any sense then, do you expect he’s going to release at least part of this or a redacted version?
LAUFMAN: I think the Justice Department knows it has to come back to the court with a reasonable proposal. The judge signaled pretty clearly that he wants to release some facets of this affidavit. And I think the Department and the FBI are now trying to come to grips with what they can live with- with regard to public disclosures. And there are some portions of the affidavit that I think they’ll be willing to make public.
ED O’KEEFE: You just heard Congressman Turner of Ohio talking about the possibility of the Intelligence Committee getting read into the details of this at some point. There is bipartisan agreement that they’ve got to hear something from the Justice Department. It’s just a question of when and what exactly and how much. But in your view, is there a requirement for the Justice Department and FBI to do that at all?
LAUFMAN: I mean, there’s no requirement. Look, I mean, there’s- this- there are sometimes classic collisions between two coordinate branches of government; does seem to be premature for Congress to be sticking its nose into an ongoing criminal investigation. That’s what this is. It- just because it implicates classified information to me, doesn’t seem to give a platform for the House Intelligence Committee to intrude at this time.
ED O’KEEFE: Because it could unspool in a way where the information you share with them is leaked. And then, the investigation’s compromised. Its ability to have a fair trial will be compromised.
LAUFMAN: I think they’re trying to create a kind of a carnival atmosphere under the patina of the exercise of Congress’s constitutional authority to conduct investigations.
ED O’KEEFE: Rikki, to you. Allen Weisselberg, the former longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, this past week pleaded guilty to 15 counts of fraud and tax evasion as part of the scheme to receive more than $1.7 million in off-the-books perks and compensation from the Trump Organization. Important to point out the former president hasn’t been charged as part of this civil case. But based on what you know about this case, what we’ve seen so far, is there any legal risk at this point to a member of the Trump family?
CBS NEWS LEGAL ANALYST RIKKI KLIEMAN: There is hardly any legal risk because of the fact that the plea of Alan Weisselberg is against the Trump Organization, which really means the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corporation. It had to do with the fact that he received perks to, as you say, $1.7 million over a period of years. The plea bargain seems abundantly clear. He is testifying against entities, not people.
ED O’KEEFE: And there’s been so much focus in the past two weeks on the Mar-a-Lago operation, this Weisselberg guilty plea this past week, but I know you believe that it’s what’s going down in Georgia that is potentially most legally risky for the former president. Correct?
KLIEMAN: There is no doubt in my mind that the most risk to the former president is in fact the Georgia investigation. And one of the reasons I say that is because it has intensified in terms of the number of witnesses that the district attorney is calling before this special, investigative grand jury. But also the fact that should not be overlooked is that Donald Trump has hired one of the best criminal defense lawyers in the country in the person of Drew Findling. Drew Findling was a past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He is based in Atlanta. He knows how to work within the system ethically and properly and he’s fierce. So when we look at this particular situation, Rudy Giuliani called to testify last week. We have no idea nor should we have any idea in a secret proceeding what he said or if he took the Fifth Amendment at any point in time. This week, Lindsey Graham is set to testify on Tuesday, unless the 11th circuit issues a stay and buys into his argument that his phone calls involving this election in 2020 and the results when he wanted, allegedly, to say that they should look into the mail in ballots, and perhaps there were many of the mailing ballots that had faulty signatures and his communications with Donald Trump would be the focus of this particular special grand jury. And that he wants to say, well, no, that was within my duties within the Speech and Debate Clause. We’re going to see what the 11th circuit has to say about that. But I expect Lindsey Graham is going to have to testify. This grand jury is investigative only. They can issue a report that would tell the district attorney at a later point in time, whether or not she does have reason to indict probable cause to indict any of the players, including Donald Trump.
ED O’KEEFE: And, David Laufman, in terms of the operation of Mar-a-Lago at this point, how concerned should any current or former staff of the former president there be concerned about legal exposure?
LAUFMAN: Well, I think any- any individuals who were involved in removing classified information from the White House in the waning moments of the Trump administration, taking them to Mar-a-Lago, knowingly keeping them there to play certain unauthorized to be, has potential criminal jeopardy depending on all the facts and circumstances that investigation uncovers. One of the statutes referenced in the search warrant is the Espionage Act and at issue in principle is a provision that makes it a crime to willfully retain National Defense Information. And the fact that these were highly classified documents as high as top secret code word makes it pretty clear to me the president has potential jeopardy here, compounded by what appeared to be deliberate misrepresentations by the president or his team, to the government about whether classified information remained at Mar-a-Lago and hence, the obstruction statute reference in the search warrant.
ED O’KEEFE: Ricky, you’ve been at this for a long time tracking legal cases of all sorts all across the country. Have you ever seen anyone facing more than a dozen legal, civil, congressional investigations at one time? And what is it like being an attorney for someone like that, when they have competing, compounding legal concerns and interests?
KLIEMAN: I have never seen this many investigations happening all at the same time. Some in greater stages, some in lesser stages. But if you are an attorney for Donald Trump, you are well advised to separate each one and decide where you’re going to devote your energies. Donald Trump, it appears, has been hiring lawyers from different places. So one lawyer does not have all of the responsibility. But this is not a good time for Donald Trump, at least if he thinks that everything is coming in upon him. However, we also know that Donald Trump enjoys the chaos and we will see what happens in terms of his decision if he is going to run or not in 2024.
ED O’KEEFE: We sure will. Rikki Kleiman, CBS News legal analyst, David Laufman, former Justice Department official, thank you both for being here. And we’ll be right back. | https://www.wsgw.com/transcript-david-laufman-and-rikki-klieman-on-face-the-nation/ | 2022-08-21T19:12:51Z | https://www.wsgw.com/transcript-david-laufman-and-rikki-klieman-on-face-the-nation/ | false |

ATLANTA (AP) — Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez was held out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves after being taken to a hospital the previous night because of shortness of breath.
Manager Dusty Baker said doctors weren’t able to find any cause of the breathing issues. Alvarez was at the ballpark but under a concussion-like protocol where the team was monitoring his every move.
Baker said Alvarez could return to the lineup for the finale of the three-game series Sunday.
“He’s better,” Baker said. “We’ve still got to watch him. He’s under what’s similar to a concussion protocol, where you’ve got to watch him. You don’t want him to maybe fall out. They couldn’t find anything, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s wrong.”
Baker called it a frightening situation, but added he was somewhat relieved that one of the game’s most feared hitters was apparently not stricken with a serious medical problem.
“We’re just going to wait today,” the manager added. “We’ll see how he is tomorrow. He’ll probably DH if he’s feeling all right.”
Alvarez is batting .295 with 31 homers and 77 RBIs for the AL West-leading Astros, who are seeking their fourth World Series appearance in six years.
They are in Atlanta for a rematch of last year’s Series, won by the Braves.
Alvarez departed Friday night’s 6-2 loss to Atlanta under his own power with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning. There was a pause in the action when Braves rookie Vaughn Grissom fouled a ball off his foot and was being tended to by a trainer.
Baker said Alvarez started having some breathing issues while running the bases, and the condition was exacerbated by in-game fireworks.
Alvarez had hoped to make it through the inning, but decided to come off when Grissom was shaken up,.
Alvarez was transported to an Atlanta hospital to undergo testing but doctors weren’t able to pinpoint a cause.
“It’s better to know if there’s nothing wrong,” Baker said. “Those doctors are great, but sometimes it’s a guess.”

In Kansas vote, relief and caution for Democrats
Kansas was about one issue, while on November 8, voters will look at individuals with a track record on multiple issues
Forget the Republicans for a second. Even Democrats in the Red State of Kansas could not believe what came their way in a so-called referendum on abortion rights recently in the aftermath of the stunning, but expected, overturn of Roe vs Wade by the United States Supreme Court on June 24, 2022. Armed with a margin of 19 percentage points, the people of Kansas retained the right to abortion. This was also the same State where Donald Trump trounced Hillary Clinton by 20 points in 2016, and Joseph Biden by 15 points in 2020.
For Democrats, the news from Kansas was a relief of sorts, what with a troubled presidency with historic low approval ratings and an almost alarming rate of departures by White House staff. Traditionally, the party of the President suffers in the off-year mid-terms, but on November 8, there is expected to be some sort of a ‘killing’ this time round, with the Grand Old Party running amok in the House of Representatives and even edging Democrats out of their razor-thin majority in the Senate (where Republicans need only one seat in order to turn the tables).
‘Disrupting’ the social fabric
Even before the Kansas referendum, the U.S. Supreme Court helped Democrats define their political opposition. In the run-up to the 2020 elections, Democrats were labelled as a bunch of communists and socialists out on a culture war to re-define what America was all about. Some 18 months down the line, Democrats (in the aftermath of the Roe verdict) began painting Republicans as a group of narrow-minded radicals and extremists not satisfied with only taking away the rights of women on abortion but also keeping options open on the issues of same-sex marriage, gays and lesbians. The Republicans, in the view of Democrats, are out to tear the social fabric of America.
The overturning of Roe vs Wade and the outrage that followed has been reflected in opinion surveys as well. For instance in a poll by Monmouth University, 50% prefer Democrats to be in control of Congress as opposed to 43% in favour of Republicans. In May, Republicans had a four-point advantage over Democrats while in June the survey was evenly split at 47%. And some may argue that the slow turnaround for Democrats is taking place even with their man in the Oval Office posting only a 38% approval rating. Some polls have the numbers in the low 30s.
Points and subjects
There are a few things that need to be kept in mind before reading too much into the Kansas verdict, the first being “A week is a long time in politics”, a statement usually attributed to Harold Wilson in the 1960s. But Joseph Chamberlain had also remarked, in 1886, “In politics, there is no use in looking beyond the next fortnight.” Either way, the essence of the message is quite clear — that anything can happen between now and some 14 weeks down the line.
More importantly, the Kansas vote was over a single issue, while on November 8, voters will choose between individuals with a track record on multiple issues. Looking at different surveys, it is seen that even if voters prefer Republicans over Democrats, the response is different if the subject of abortion is included with or without restrictions. In Kansas, Republicans voted against the anti-abortion measures but still voted in the Republican primary. Favouring abortion rights is not an automatic vote for a particular candidate. Political strategists of both parties will have this in mind when checking boxes ahead of the actual polls.
In focus
Democrats will be keen to hammer away at abortion and other looming threats from a Republican majority in Congress. Some will even try to make an issue out of the Congressional hearings of the January 6, 2021 incidents where there was a scandalous turn of events during the Trump Presidency. The GOP will focus on the Biden Presidency, on issues such as gun control, crime, the economy including inflation and jobs, and pocket book issues such as the price of fuel at pumps.
Democrats may legitimately say that the economy is slowly beginning to look up especially on the jobs creation front, but the question still relevant is whether the Biden administration has effectively conveyed this. Democrats also see a turnaround in the fortunes of the party in terms of unity on big ticket issues such as climate change. But the ultimate challenge will be in pulling voters, especially white women from the urban and rural areas, to the booths on November 8.
If the latest action of state legislature in Indiana is anything to go by, where lawmakers approved a near total ban on abortion, the challenge before Democrats and President Joe Biden is not only the House of Representatives and Senate but also State Legislatures, Governors mansions, judicial positions and Attorneys General that are up for grabs. Often in the mad race to focus on the big picture there is the tendency to forget that “All politics is local”, to quote the former Speaker of the House, Tip O’Neil.

Making bail impossible
In upholding the constitutionality of the PMLA, the court has resurrected the ghost of ADM Jabalpur
While upholding the right to privacy in 2017, the Supreme Court overruled the decision in ADM Jabalpur v. Shivkant Shukla (1976). However, the recent decision in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary v. Union of India, upholding the constitutionality of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), is proof that the ghost of ADM Jabalpur has been resurrected. The old maxim of bail being the norm and jail the exception has been judicially cremated with this decision. Bail is now not even an exception; it is impossible.
Draconian preconditions for bail
First, consider the draconian preconditions for the grant of bail in Section 45 of the PMLA. To be eligible for bail, the arrested person must persuade the court that there are reasonable grounds for believing that he is not guilty of the money laundering offences brought by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The onus is on the accused to prove that an event did not transpire. If he cannot do this, he will continue to languish in jail.
To justify this high bar, the court overturned its decision in Nikesh Tarachand Shah v. Union of India (2017) that had directed treating the offence of ‘money laundering’ as less heinous and therefore differently a crime from ‘terrorism’ under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA). The court stated that the offence of money laundering was as heinous as a terrorist act and as great a danger to the sovereignty and integrity of our country. In doing so, it ignored the fact that under the PMLA, money laundering also covers monies associated with offences relating to infringement of copyrights and trademarks, arts and antiquities, securities, information technology, companies, and air and water pollution.
The court also declared that the ED does not need to share the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) with the accused. This is bizarre because the same notion of secrecy is not applicable to equivalent documents (FIRs) for agencies like the police and the Central Bureau of Investigation. The ECIR contains the rationale for the ED to register the offence. However, the court chose not to equate the ECIR with an FIR.
According to the court, the fundamental fights of the accused are satisfied if he is informed of the grounds of arrest at the time of arrest. However, there is no definition of what qualifies as grounds for arrest and how detailed such grounds need to be. Typically, criminal arrest memos will only inform the accused of the Section(s) under which the alleged offence is committed. Now, with the ED informing the accused that the arrest is on account of an offence under one or more Sections of the PMLA, the court seems to have judged that the fundamental rights of the accused have been upheld.
Rendering bail impossible
Put together, this means that once a person has been arrested under the PMLA, in order to get bail, he will have to show that he has not committed the offence that he stands accused of and he will also be unaware of the specifics of the offence he is alleged to have committed. He is oblivious of the transactions being investigated or the assets being labelled proceeds of crime. This renders bail impossible.
No judge can ever take the view that an accused has prima facie shown that he has not done what the ECIR alleges because no accused will ever be able to prove this if he does not even know what the ECIR contains. The result is that no accused will ever be able to obtain bail under the PMLA once the ED decides that he has committed an offence. To add to it, the accused can be ‘persuaded’ to sign confessional statements while in custody. Since the judgment considers the confessional statement to be admissible evidence, such evidence can be presented to the judge at a bail hearing as well.
The problem is compounded by the decision in NIA v. Zahoor Watali (2019), in which the court was considering the bail standard under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. It held that at the stage of bail, the court cannot enter into an appreciation of evidence, but only has to see whether a prima facie case against the accused is made out. But it also effectively held that in considering the prima facie case, the prosecution’s version is sufficient, and that if the case diary or the charge sheet makes out sufficient grounds to deny bail (which it will, being a document created by the prosecution), it is reasonable to deny bail. Notwithstanding this, the UAPA accused is provided with a copy of the FIR, unlike the PMLA accused.
This means that when someone is arrested for an offence under the PMLA, he will be placed in prolonged incarceration without being told the specifics of why this is so. And no court will ever be able to reasonably conclude that the person is entitled to bail under the law as it now stands. ADM Jabalpur is dead. Long live ADM Jabalpur.

Buhler football looking to fill in missing pieces in anticipation for familiar week 1 opponent
BUHLER — A dream-like 2021 season for the Buhler Crusaders football team will be one to remember for a long time.
And the 2022 season will start right where it left off for Buhler, against the team that ended its postseason run in the Class 4A state semifinals — Andover Central, which beat Buhler last season twice and was the state runner-up to St. James Academy.
Before 2013 state champion Buhler can head into the week 1 matchup, head coach Steve Warner and company will need to replace key positions on both sides of the ball, including quarterback, running back, cornerback and linebacker.
Luckily, there are some bodies that are there to slide right into the roles. As usual, the expectations are always the same.
"We want to get to a state championship and have a chance to be successful," Warner said. "We expect the kids to work hard and to have fun playing the great game of football."
High school football:Hutchinson Salthawks football preview 2022
Three players looking to step up into important roles are senior Matthew Eddy, junior Jeffrey Neill and senior Gavin Patton. Perhaps the biggest task will be Patton stepping in to replace graduate Sam Elliott, who became the school's new all-time leading rusher last season. Warner, who coached the 2013 state championship Buhler team and also the last public school to win a state title in football in the class, said Patton will fill in just fine and has high expectations for him.
"Gavin Patton is going to be a great running back for us," Warner said. "He's been watching (Sam Elliott) for a lot of years. So, it's his time to shine."
Eddy, an athletic multisport athlete who shines in baseball as well, will be a core piece at receiver after leading the team last season in that category with over 700 receiving yards. Warner would like to create opportunities for Eddy to get his hands on the ball more often this season.
He said Eddy will be a playmaker this fall.
"Matthew Eddy had a great year last year," Warner said. "We're expecting a lot of things out of him this year. We're going to do a lot of different things with him. We're just excited about what this season has to offer."
Jeffrey Neill's brother, Bradley, graduated and was integral to running the offense last year. He also shined in baseball and was an all-state selection. Now that he's graduated, it is time for Jeffrey Neill to step into the limelight. Warner said Jeffrey will be a "great quarterback."

Last season, Neill also broke the school's record in extra points made in a season.
"It's super exciting," Neill said. "I've always dreamed of doing this. I used to come to practice when I was like in second grade, and I've always dreamed of coming to be a starting varsity quarterback. It's awesome that I get to play after my brother got done leading the team."
Warner also added offensive lineman as 6-foot senior Bryan Regier and 6-foot-4 sophomore Bodey Redenbaugh are back. They will be the two lineman to lead the unit up front.

That week 1 matchup against Andover Central is one that can set the tone for the season, Patton said. After falling to the eventual state runner-up twice last year, that matchup has become a little more personal, Patton said.
"It's a big one," Patton said. "If we win that, I feel like it'll set us up good for the rest of the year. It's almost personal with Andover Central taking us out the last four years. It'll be one we want to win."

A federal appeals court on Sunday granted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) a reprieve, blocking a subpoena ordering him to testify before a Georgia grand jury probing former President Trump’s alleged interference into the 2020 election.
A three-judge panel with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily paused the subpoena, sending the case back to a district court to decide whether it should be partially quashed or modified, according to The Associated Press.
The panel agreed with Graham’s argument that the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause —which shields congressional members from testifying about legislative matters related to their work — prevents him from appearing before a grand jury in Fulton County.
The circuit court asked a U.S. District Court judge to look at whether the subpoena needs to be modified based on the Speech and Debate Clause.
Graham had been set to appear before the special grand jury on Tuesday following a decision from a U.S. District Court that rejected his request to quash the subpoena and forced the senator to testify in the interest of not delaying the investigation. The U.S. District Court judge also ruled that Graham does not have testimonial immunity based on the Speech and Debate Clause.
Graham appealed to the circuit court and on Sunday won his first victory in the legal wrangling since being called to testify last month about phone calls he allegedly had with state election officials after the 2020 election.
The Fulton County probe centers around a January 2021 phone call during which Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to “find” enough votes to secure his victory in the state.
Graham reportedly called Raffensperger and his staff shortly after Election Day, inquiring about voter fraud and asking for a re-examination of absentee ballots to generate a more favorable outcome for Trump. | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/hill-politics/federal-appeals-court-blocks-graham-georgia-grand-jury-subpoena/ | 2022-08-21T19:46:12Z | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/hill-politics/federal-appeals-court-blocks-graham-georgia-grand-jury-subpoena/ | true |
Kudumbashree hopes for good Onam sales this year
1,070 CDS-level fairs will be held in panchayats and 14 fairs at the district level
ThiruvananthapuramADVERTISEMENT

With two successive Onams disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic behind it, the Kudumbashree mission is looking forward to a promising festive season this year.
The poverty eradication mission hopes to double its sales turnover from the annual Onam fairs in order to recover lost ground and provide a further boost to its microenterprises, which have largely pulled through two years of uncertainty.
The Onam fairs will concentrate on community development society (CDS)-level fairs this year. In all, 1,070 CDS-level fairs will be held in panchayats and 14 fairs at the district level in the days leading up to Onam.

The fairs usually see participation from Kudumbashree entrepreneurs and joint liability groups that are involved in farming. This Onam, directions have been given to Kudumbashree district missions to ensure that all Kudumbashree enterprises and livelihood groups become part of the CDS-level fairs.
Besides agro food products made by Kudumbashree enterprises and neighbourhood group members, products made by different types of enterprises and various services will be exhibited at the Onam fairs. Instructions have been passed on to include at least one product from each neighbourhood group in the CDS-level fairs.
Pesticide-free agriculture produce grown by the joint liability groups will also be available at each CDS-level fair, to be held for three to five days. Stall or counters for Santhwanam medical checks-up teams, Harsham volunteers for elderly care, Haritha Karma Sena or Karshika Karma Sena too can be up at the fairs.
The Onam fairs will kick off by September 1 and be held in a staggered manner. The Kudumbashree State mission has allocated ₹12,000 to all rural CDS, ₹15,000 to urban CDSs, and ₹1 lakh to the district missions for setting up basic infrastructure for the fairs such as pandals and putting up flex boards.
The Kudumbashree is also taking part in Supplyco fairs in various districts. Orders for producing banana chips and ‘sarkaravaratty’ for inclusion in the Onam kits of Supplyco will provide a further fillip to its microenterprise units. Total order for chips to the tune of 55.63 lakh have been received. As many as 334 units will register sales of ₹16.82 crore from the banana chips produced.
In 2021, the Kudumbashree had registered a sales turnover of ₹9.64 crore through 925 fairs conducted across the State.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Sports Accountability Project (ASAP) announced today that Rev. Al Sharpton, who has previously impressed upon the National Basketball Association (NBA) to work with greater urgency and transparency concerning the ongoing investigation into extensive reports of racism, sexism and abuse by Robert Sarver, sent a letter today to PayPal CEO Dan Shulman calling on the company to end its relationship with Mr. Sarver. As the NBA's investigation, now in its 10th month, has proceeded, PayPal announced a ground-breaking, international partnership with Mr. Sarver and entities under his ownership, including the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, and Real Club Deportivo Mallorca.
Rev. Sharpton's letter, which was published as a full-page ad in the AZ Central newspaper today, reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Schulman,
I am writing to demand that PayPal cease doing business with any entity owned or associated with Robert Sarver, including the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, and Real Club Deportivo Mallorca. Mr. Sarver's leadership has been riddled with credible allegations of racism, misogyny, and harboring a toxic work environment. As you may be aware, ESPN published a detailed investigative piece on these complaints last November, and Mr. Sarver is currently under investigation by the NBA.
In June 2020, in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, Paypal was one of many companies to announce a significant investment in fighting institutional racism and advancing diversity and inclusion. In total, PayPal announced it would commit $535 million toward these causes. Yet, PayPal has continued to do business with Robert Sarver, who is a known perpetrator of racism and hate, and is now expanding its business relationship with Mr. Sarver internationally.
In light of these commitments, PayPal cannot simply ignore Mr. Sarver's transgressions. As someone who has dedicated my life to fighting injustice and speaking out against hate in all its forms, it is my duty and responsibility to call out such hypocrisy and to call on PayPal to uphold the values for which it proclaims to stand.
It is time for PayPal to put its money where its mouth is. Issuing a press release and writing a big check two years ago is not equivalent to doing the hard work that is required to achieve real change. I reiterate my call for PayPal to end its relationship with Robert Sarver and help hold him accountable for his egregious behavior.
Sincerely,
Rev. Al Sharpton
President and Founder

There were just four teams out of the 60 Class 4A programs that had byes this week (Perry, Clarkston, Druid Hills and East Forsyth) and the active teams compiled an overall 30-26 record. Region 7 had the best opening week with all six of its teams scoring victories, while Region 6 emerged with a 1-5 collective record. There were several cross-region games between Class 4A schools, like Pace Academy (beat Holy Innocents’ 20-17), Westminster (beat Lovett 14-0) and Stockbridge (beat Southwest DeKalb 13-0). Additionally, the first region contest of the season featured Riverdale and North Clayton and Riverdale came away with a 69-0 victory to improve to 1-0 in Region 4.
Defending state champion Benedictine opened up the year with a strong 45-0 victory over former Region 3 opponent Jenkins, who has since moved up to Class 5A. Benedictine led 31-0 after the first quarter on its way to a win at Memorial Stadium in Savannah. Quarterback Luke Kromenhoek threw four touchdown passes and rushed for a score. Kromenhoek threw two touchdowns to Za’Quan Bryan, one to Thomas Blackshear and one to Ack Edwards, and he added a QB sneak for a touchdown to cap the scoring in the second quarter. The game was called with 2:10 remaining in the first half due to an incident involving fans in the stands.
In Westminster’s 14-0 victory over Lovett, a Region 6 vs. Region 5 pairing, the Wildcats used a dominant defensive effort to pull off a road win over rival Lovett. Carson Wilkie gave the Wildcats a 3-0 lead in the first quarter with a 24-yard field goal, which was the same margin they took into halftime. Josh Brockman added a second field goal for the visitors, giving them a 6-0 advantage going into the fourth quarter. Running back Quinton Ezzard put the game away with five minutes remaining when he took a direct snap and ran it in for a touchdown from 11 yards out. Westminster tacked on a two-point conversion via a pass from John Collier to Brand Morgan.
Pace Academy kicker Doan Rutta gave the visiting Knights a 3-0 halftime lead with a 30-yard field goal and sealed the 20-17 victory with a 24-yard kick with two seconds left. Holy Innocents’ went up 7-3 in the third quarter on a Stephen Jones touchdown run, but Pace Academy quarterback Connor Phelan answered with a touchdown pass to Terence Kiel and the Knights pulled out the victory in their Class 4A debut.
Cedartown was amongst the six Region 7 teams that opened the year with victories and dispatched Rockmart 27-14. Senior running back Harlem Diamond returned an onside kick for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to give Cedartown a victory in its season opener. Diamond also scored on a 19-yard touchdown run in the second quarter that gave the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead. Before halftime, Cedartown jumped to a 20-7 lead when senior quarterback Reece Tanner scored on a 9-yard scramble. Rockmart got on the board first after scoring on a kickoff return in the opening quarter.
LaGrange and New Hampstead both had out-of-state victories in the only pair of games that pinned Class 4A programs against teams from other states. New Hampstead scored a 47-27 win over May River (SC) and LaGrange topped Alabama’s Smith Station 49-20 on Thursday. The visiting Grangers led 21-13 at halftime after A.J. Tucker’s two first-half touchdown runs and one touchdown rush from fellow tailback Malachi Fannin-Render, who also ran for a touchdown in the third quarter. Grangers quarterback Jaylan Brown also rushed for two touchdowns, and running back Jonathan Keys had one rushing score.

Leon Vitali, Stanley Kubrick’s right-hand man, dies at 74
(AP) – Leon Vitali, the “Barry Lyndon” actor who became one of Stanley Kubrick’s closest associates, has died. He was 74.
Vitali died Friday in Los Angeles, his family told The Associated Press Sunday. He passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones including his three children, Masha, Max and Vera.
“Leon was a special and lovely man driven by his curiosity, who spread love and warmth wherever he went,” his children said in a statement provided by Masha Vitali. “He will be remembered with love and be hugely missed by the many people he touched.”
Though Vitali was often described as Kubrick’s assistant, Tony Zierra’s 2017 documentary " Filmworker " shed light on Vitali’s enormous and largely unsung contributions to the work of one of cinema’s greatest figures from “The Shining” through “Eyes Wide Shut.” He did everything from casting and coaching actors to overseeing restorations. Vitali even once set up a video monitor so that Kubrick could keep an eye on his dying cat.
Matthew Modine, who starred in Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket,” tweeted his condolences Sunday.
“There are people we meet who have a profound impact upon our lives. Leon Vitali was one such person in mine,” Modine wrote. “An artist in every aspect of his life. A loving father & friend to so many. A kind, generous & forgiving nature. He exemplified & personified grace.”
Filmmaker Lee Unkrich also tweeted that he was, “Completely heartbroken to hear about the passing of Leon Vitali. He helped me (asterisk)enormously(asterisk) with my Shining book and I’m gutted that he won’t see it. He was a sweet, kind, humble, generous man and a vital part of Stanley Kubrick’s team.”
Before meeting Kubrick, Vitali was a rising actor in England, appearing in several British television shows including “Softly, Softly,” “Follyfoot,” “Z Cars” and “Notorious Woman.” Then in 1974 he got his biggest break yet, when he was cast in “Barry Lyndon” as Lord Bullingdon, the son-in-law of Ryan O’Neal’s title character.
Vitali was so fascinated by Kubrick and his processes that he made an unusual decision: He gave up on acting and devoted himself entirely to the famously demanding director for over two decades. His next Kubrick credit was as “personal assistant to the director” on “The Shining,” though that’s only part of the story — Vitali famously helped cast 4-year-old Danny Lloyd to play Danny Torrance and Louise and Lisa Burns as the creepy Grady twins (citing Diane Arbus as inspiration).
“I made one truly, truly radical change in my life and that was when I said, ‘I’m more interested in that’ than I was in the acting,” Vitali told the Associated Press in 2017. “That’s the biggest conscious decision I’ve ever made. There were some sacrifices, but there were gains too.”
After Kubrick’s death in 1999, Vitali oversaw restorations for many of Kubrick’s films. He received a Cinema Audio Society award for his work. Vitali later worked with director Todd Field on his films “Little Children” and “In the Bedroom.”
Before making the documentary, Zierra said that he and many Kubrick-obsessed fans knew Vitali for his performances in “Barry Lyndon” and “Eyes Wide Shut,” in which he played Red Cloak, and as a key member of Kubrick’s inner circle. But when they finally met Vitali to make the film, they were struck by “his kindness, humility and the fascinating scope of his story.”
Zierra is working on a director’s cut of “Filmworker” that will include new footage that he and Vitali wanted in the film, but couldn’t get done in time for its Cannes debut in 2017.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Josef Newgarden saw the checkered flag out his windshield as the hard-charging rookie sprinted closer and closer into his rearview mirror.
David Malukas was coming fast for the leaders, seemingly out of nowhere, late Saturday night after a long rain delay and a strung-out race.
The 20-year-old was flying and darted outside and around Scott McLaughlin for second. Then he set his sights over the final lap on Newgarden, the two-time IndyCar champion so far unable to take control of the championship race.
Newgarden thought, “Wow, that kid is hungry.’”
Alas, Malukas ran out of time on the 1.25-mile oval outside St. Louis. He picked off McLaughlin, and if there had been one more lap, Malukas might have won his first IndyCar victory.
He's still learning oval racing, even though his results show he's a quick study. His 16th-place finish in the Indianapolis 500 was his lowest of the five ovals on the schedule; his second-place finish Saturday night was the best of his maiden IndyCar season and his first career podium.
And yet he's left to wonder if a rookie mistake cost him a chance at running down Newgarden for the win at Gateway.
On fresh tires for the final run of the night, Malukas waited until two laps to go to experiment with the upper groove at Gateway. His car like a rocket ship in the top lane, he sailed past McLaughlin on the outside. Although he ran out of time to catch Newgarden, Malukas was closing in quickly when Newgarden took his series-best fifth win of the season.
What took him so long to try the outside lane?
“It was a bit unfortunate I did it so late. But I guess rookie season, rookie stuff,” Malukas said. “I’m going to put it in the back of my brain and remember it for next time.”
It wasn't his only mistake of the night: Malukas was scolded by McLaughlin for mispronouncing his last name. It's Muh-GLOCK'-luhn, McLaughlin said, and there's no soft h.
Either way, second-place was just as good as the win on Saturday night for Malukas. He even got to celebrate with champagne when Newgarden graciously let the underage Malukas spray the real stuff instead of the grape juice he'd been given.
“Why didn’t they give me the real stuff? That’s not fun,” Malukas said. “Maybe I can just tell them I’ll close my mouth, I don’t know.”
Just three months ago he was smarting from losing Indianapolis 500 top rookie honors to Jimmie Johnson, who finished the race below Malukas but was rewarded for both an eye-popping speed show in qualifying and his ambassadorship for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
Malukas supporters were outraged and, after posting his own 200-plus mph marks in practice, as well as actually finishing highest among the Indy 500 rookies, Malukas himself wondered how he lost out on top rookie to 46-year-old Johnson.
Once the drama faded from social media, Malukas went back to big runs for tiny Dale Coyne Racing.
He finished eighth in the second race of the Iowa doubleheader last month and is ranked 16th in the standings, ahead of Indianapolis 500 winners Helio Castroneves and Takuma Sato, his teammate, and also the rest of the rookie class.
Newgarden heaped praise on Malukas after the race and said Malukas, a Lithuanian-American from the Chicago area, could probably get a little more aggressive. Newgarden is three points behind Team Penske teammate Will Power with two races remaining, yet he didn't worry about the potential risks of racing a rookie with Saturday night's win on the line.
“When you see rookies, I think you definitely are a bit more cautious or reserved, or at least you’re second-guessing what you think you should be doing,” Newgarden said. “I would give Malukas a lot of respect. He’s probably been one of the cleanest rookies I’ve ever seen. He’s been almost too respectful.”
Malukas acknowledged both getting out of the way of Penske cars during practice and also getting a little starry-eyed when he found himself racing Newgarden and McLaughlin.
His engineer radioed that Malukas was about to get sight of the race leaders and then he caught a glimpse of them sailing through Turns 1 and 2. It took a moment for him to realize that "Oh, my God, they’re Penskes. I’m going behind Penskes right now. This is crazy.’”
Malukas rooted for Team Penske as a kid and says he's stayed out of their way when he made it to IndyCar this season: “Every time through practice, every time they passed me, I always let them by. Man,” he said.
And so he had to collect himself as he chased the duo.
“I was trying so hard to not get nervous. I mean, I was nervous, but I was trying so hard not to get overexcited and do something stupid,” Malukas said. “It’s definitely intimidating when there’s two Penskes in front of you.”

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck exchange vows in front of family and friends
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck said “I do” again this weekend.
However, instead of in a late-night Las Vegas drive-through chapel, this time it was in front of friends and family in Georgia, a person close to the couple who was not authorised to speak publicly said on Sunday.
According to People Magazine, the wedding was held at Affleck’s home outside of Savannah, with all of their children present for the proceedings on Saturday.
The celebrity couple were officially married last month in Las Vegas, which Lopez shared with fans in her On the J Lo newsletter.
“Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” Lopez wrote last month, signing off as Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
Lopez, 53, and Affleck, 50, famously dated in the early 2000s. They starred together in 2003′s Gigli and 2004′s Jersey Girl, and became engaged but did not wed at the time.

Paparazzi has feverishly trailed the couple since they rekindled their romance last year, from the earliest stages of the courtship, to their red carpet debut at last year’s Venice International Film Festival and their recent honeymoon in Paris.
Representatives for the couple did not immediately respond to request for comment on Sunday. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11132285/Jennifer-Lopez-Ben-Affleck-exchange-vows-family-friends.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-21T20:07:24Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11132285/Jennifer-Lopez-Ben-Affleck-exchange-vows-family-friends.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Talking points from the Bundesliga weekend
BERLIN, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Talking points from the Bundesliga weekend
BIG NAME SLIP-UPS CONTINUE
Champions League teams RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt all failed to win again this weekend, with the first two suffering defeats and the Europa League winners having to settle for a 1-1 draw against Cologne.
The three have yet to win in the first three matchdays of the Bundesliga, with Leverkusen having lost all four of their competitive matches so far this season - their worst start to a season ever.
RECORD SAVES
There is not much joy at VfL Wolfsburg, with the club still looking for their own first league victory, but they got into the record books nevertheless when keeper Koen Casteels saved a spot kick from Simon Terodde in their draw with Schalke 04.
Belgium international Casteels, who actually saved the penalty twice after it had to be retaken, is the record-holder among active goalkeepers in the Bundesliga with 12 spot-kick saves.
BAYERN GOALS
Bayern Munich seem to have quickly forgotten about their second all-time scorer Robert Lewandowski, who left the club to join Barcelona, with the German champions scoring a league record 15 goals in their first three matches of the Bundesliga season.
They are also the first team to have netted 11 times in the first half in their opening three league games.
Adding the five goals they fired past RB Leipzig in their German Super Cup win, Bayern have already bagged 20 goals in only four competitive games this season.

LONDON (AP) — A strike by London Underground workers brought the British capital’s transit network to a grinding halt on Friday, a day after a nationwide walkout by railway staff. Another rail strike is scheduled for Saturday as the U.K. endures a summer of action by workers demanding pay increases to offset soaring food and energy price hikes.
No subway trains were running on most of London’s Tube lines because of the strike over jobs, pay and pensions by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union, operator Transport for London said.
“It is going to be a difficult day,” said Nick Dent, TFL’s director of customer operations. “We’re advising customers not to travel on the Tube at all.”
There was also continuing disruption above ground as trains started to run again following Thursday’s strike by thousands of railway cleaners, signalers, maintenance workers and other staff. Only about a fifth of trains ran during the 24-hour walkout, the latest in a series of strikes on Britain’s railways.
Rail unions accuse Britain’s Conservative government of preventing train companies — which are privately owned but heavily regulated — from making a better offer. The government denies meddling, but says rail companies need to cut costs and staffing after two years in which emergency government funding kept them afloat.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told Times Radio that “it’s a kick in the teeth” to the public for unions “to turn round after we provided 16 billion pounds of support for the railways and go ‘Right, well, the next thing we’re going to do is go on strike.’”
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 and port workers have all announced walkouts for later this month.
Garbage collectors and recycling workers in Edinburgh, Scotland, began an 11-day strike on Thursday, warning that trash will pile up in the streets as tourists flock to the city for the Edinburgh Fringe and other arts festivals.
U.K. inflation hit a new 40-year high of 10.1% in July, 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 Russia’s 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. | https://www.wivb.com/news/business/no-tube-london-subway-hit-by-strike-day-after-rail-walkout/ | 2022-08-21T20:09:28Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/business/no-tube-london-subway-hit-by-strike-day-after-rail-walkout/ | true |
NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Sports Accountability Project (ASAP) announced today that Rev. Al Sharpton, who has previously impressed upon the National Basketball Association (NBA) to work with greater urgency and transparency concerning the ongoing investigation into extensive reports of racism, sexism and abuse by Robert Sarver, sent a letter today to PayPal CEO Dan Shulman calling on the company to end its relationship with Mr. Sarver. As the NBA's investigation, now in its 10th month, has proceeded, PayPal announced a ground-breaking, international partnership with Mr. Sarver and entities under his ownership, including the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, and Real Club Deportivo Mallorca.
Rev. Sharpton's letter, which was published as a full-page ad in the AZ Central newspaper today, reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Schulman,
I am writing to demand that PayPal cease doing business with any entity owned or associated with Robert Sarver, including the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, and Real Club Deportivo Mallorca. Mr. Sarver's leadership has been riddled with credible allegations of racism, misogyny, and harboring a toxic work environment. As you may be aware, ESPN published a detailed investigative piece on these complaints last November, and Mr. Sarver is currently under investigation by the NBA.
In June 2020, in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, Paypal was one of many companies to announce a significant investment in fighting institutional racism and advancing diversity and inclusion. In total, PayPal announced it would commit $535 million toward these causes. Yet, PayPal has continued to do business with Robert Sarver, who is a known perpetrator of racism and hate, and is now expanding its business relationship with Mr. Sarver internationally.
In light of these commitments, PayPal cannot simply ignore Mr. Sarver's transgressions. As someone who has dedicated my life to fighting injustice and speaking out against hate in all its forms, it is my duty and responsibility to call out such hypocrisy and to call on PayPal to uphold the values for which it proclaims to stand.
It is time for PayPal to put its money where its mouth is. Issuing a press release and writing a big check two years ago is not equivalent to doing the hard work that is required to achieve real change. I reiterate my call for PayPal to end its relationship with Robert Sarver and help hold him accountable for his egregious behavior.
Sincerely,
Rev. Al Sharpton
President and Founder

NEW YORK (AP) — Creem, which billed itself as “America’s only rock ‘n’ roll magazine” during two decades of existence that ended in 1989, is being revived next month.
The return is a remarkable story of persistence by J.J. Kramer, who was bequeathed the magazine at age 4 upon the death of his father, founder Barry Kramer. It will reappear during far different times, with a marketing plan that the late writer Lester Bangs or makers of the fake “Boy Howdy” beer could hardly conceive of.
The first new issue, a glossy quarterly, is due out in September and only available to people who spend $79 for a subscription.
Founded in Detroit, Creem was the impish, slightly rude younger brother of Rolling Stone. The name was an intentional misspelling of the rock band Cream, one of the first editor’s favorites.
Though known best for Motown soul, Detroit was also a rock ‘n’ roll hotbed with artists like MC5, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Mitch Ryder and Bob Seger. Hard rocking bands, and then the onslaught of punk, provided the magazine’s backbone in its 1970s heyday.
Creem was an incubator of writing talent like Dave Marsh, Robert Christgau, Lisa Robinson, Cameron Crowe and Greil Marcus.
Rock stars weren’t put on a pedestal in Creem, and its reviews could be nasty — along with sexist and profane. Bangs was the toughest, and his feud with Lou Reed was legendary. Creem poked fun at a stuffy Dewar’s scotch profiles ad campaign by picturing artists holding beer cans emblazoned with a “Boy Howdy” logo drawn by cartoonist Robert Crumb.
In a 2019 documentary about the magazine, former R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe recalled first seeing Creem while in high school detention, realizing that he’d found the perfect gang of misfits.
“Buying Creem was a little bit like buying Playboy,” actor Jeff Daniels said in the documentary. “You didn’t want your parents seeing either one of them.”
Kramer’s death from a drug overdose in 1981 marked the beginning of the end. His son was named in the magazine’s masthead as a preschool “chairman of the board.” Barry Kramer’s widow, Connie, as publisher and acting on her son’s behalf because he was a minor, sold the bankrupt publication in 1985. Creem ceased publishing four years later.
With all the bravado of a 9-year-old, J.J. Kramer remembers telling his mother he would get it back some day.
“I’ve really spent most of my adult life trying to get to this point,” he told The Associated Press in advance of the revival. “It’s something I felt like I had to do. There’s a magnet that draws me to Creem. It’s almost like it was predetermined in a way that I couldn’t fight it.”
Kramer regained control of Creem, although it took several years. It helps that he’s an intellectual property attorney.
Now he’s chairman, again, and has put together a plan for the revival along with John Martin, a former Vice publisher who is CEO of Creem Entertainment. The idea is to make Creem the centerpiece of a media company that includes podcasts, merchandise and branded entertainment.
“Why is there not a Creemfest?” Martin asked. “That’s something that sounds like it should exist and it will exist.”
Yet it’s not the 1970s anymore. Rock ‘n’ roll is no longer as influential in culture as it once was; popular music is dominated by rap and pop. The music press is as diffuse as music itself. The well-made rock ‘n’ roll glossies on the market, like Mojo or Uncut, are British-based.
Kramer and Martin believe there’s still room for a publication that pulls rock ‘n’ roll fans together, from people who like HAIM to fans of Metallica. The world also needs people who can write about the genre with attitude, Martin said.
“When was the last time you laughed when you read about music?” Martin said.
While Bangs, who died in 1982, is no longer around, there are many new voices important to the current scene, some working on forums like Substack, he said.
The first issue’s mix of articles speaks to Creem’s intended breadth. For nostalgists, there’s an excerpt of a never-published book on the Who, a reevaluation of a 1972 rock album put out by the Osmonds and a revival of the “Stars’ Cars” feature with Slash and his wheels. There are stories on newer artists of various popularity levels like Mac DeMarco and Amyl and the Sniffers and personalities from rap and R&B like Lil Aaron and KeiyaA.
Samir Husni, founder and director of the Magazine Media Center, said he’s already paid for a subscription and is impressed by the new business plan. Plenty of people remember Creem fondly and would be curious about a reboot, he said.
“They are looking for customers who count, instead of counting customers,” Husni said.
That said, magazine revivals are more likely to fail then succeed, he said. A brand may have value, but not if people think time has passed it by. Husni said Creem may have to rethink its plans not to offer the magazine on newsstands or in bookstores.
The revival has been draining physically, emotionally and mentally, Kramer said. There were a number of times he could have — maybe should have — walked away, he said.
But he and Martin said they are convinced there is a market for the reimagined Creem, and they have the right plan to reach it.
“We’re not a cover band,” Kramer said. “We are pulling this magazine and brand forward.” | https://www.wivb.com/entertainment-news/rock-mag-creem-attempts-comeback-after-more-than-30-years/ | 2022-08-21T20:22:04Z | https://www.wivb.com/entertainment-news/rock-mag-creem-attempts-comeback-after-more-than-30-years/ | false |
Idris Elba may go head-to-head with a lion in “Beast,” but the action flick was no match for the latest “Dragon Ball” movie at the North American box office this weekend.
“Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” topped the charts in its first weekend in theaters, with $20.1 million in ticket sales according to studio estimates on Sunday. “Beast,” meanwhile, settled for a second-place debut with $11.6 million.
Crunchyroll released “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” on 3,900 screens in North America, marking the widest-ever opening for an anime. The Toei Animation production was directed by Tetsuro Kodama, who had the support of “Dragon Ball” creator Akira Toriyama. The Dragon Ball universe is almost 40 years old, and includes manga, television shows, movies, games and toys.
“We’re absolutely thrilled that Dragon Ball fans could come together to experience and enjoy this amazing film in theaters,” said Mitchel Berger, senior vice president of global commerce for the distributor, in a statement. “Crunchyroll thanks all of the fans, whether or not you are a ‘super’ fan or a newcomer, and we hope they come back again and again.”
According to PostTrak, the “Dragon Ball Super” audience was heavily male (79%) and 44% between the ages of 25 and 34.
“Japanese anime is a cinematic tradition, but rarely do you see a movie like this topping the domestic chart,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. “To be ahead of all these other mainstream Hollywood movies is quite incredible. It speaks volumes to the globalization of the box office.”
“Beast,” meanwhile, opened on 3,743 screens in North America. The film, directed by Baltasar Kormákur (“Everest”) stars Elba as a widowed father of two teenage girls, played by Iyana Halley and Leah Jeffries, who find themselves on the run from a bloodthirsty lion during a trip to South Africa.
Including international showings, “Beast” has made $21.8 million so far.
“I think this is a terrific start for ‘Beast,’” said Jim Orr, Universal’s head of domestic distribution. “I believe we will have a great run at the box office.”
Elba also has another film opening in theaters next weekend — George Miller’s fantasy epic “Three Thousand Years of Longing.”
Sony’s “Bullet Train,” meanwhile, landed in third place after two weekends at No. 1 with an estimated $8 million, bringing its domestic total to $68.9 million. Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick” placed fourth in its 13th weekend in theaters with an additional $5.9 million. “Top Gun” has made over $683 million in North America to date, which was was enough to overtake “Avengers: Infinity War” as the sixth highest grossing domestic release of all time. “DC League of Super-Pets” rounded out the top five.
Paramount also released “Orphan: First Kill” on Paramount+ and in 498 locations this weekend. The Esther origin story made an estimated $1.7 million from theaters.
The weekend overall saw about $77 million in North American ticket sales — up over 168% from the same weekend last year— bringing the year to date to $5.2 billion, according to Comscore. But the summer movie season continues a wind down that may last deep into the fall.
“It’s not that there’s not going to be any movies, there’s just not going to be a $100 million blockbuster for a while,” Dergarabedian said. “But in the interim, there’s going to be a lot of cool movies, like ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ (Sept. 23).”
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” $20.1 million.
2. “Beast,” $11.6 million.
3. “Bullet Train,” $8 million.
4. “Top Gun: Maverick,” $5.9 million.
5. “DC League of Super-Pets,” $5.8 million.
6. “Thor: Love and Thunder,” $4 million.
7. “Nope,” $3.6 million.
8. “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” $3.5 million.
9. “Where the Crawdads Sing,” $3.2 million.
10. “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” $2.4 million.

Rosalynn Carter, the second-oldest U.S. first lady ever, turns 95 Thursday on a birthday that will be marked not just with cards and best wishes, but with butterflies.
The wife of former President Jimmy Carter, 97, has a fascination with butterflies dating back to childhood, when she was entranced by the colorful insects flitting around her mother’s flowers in Plains, Georgia, longtime friend and neighbor Annette Wise said.
That interest led to the formation of the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail, which was established in the southwest Georgia town after the former first lady grew concerned about the future of butterflies, which are crucial to the pollination of flowering plants.
“She read an article in 2013 about the decline in monarchs and decided she wanted to do something about it,” Wise said.
Wise said she helped Carter establish a garden featuring native milkweed, a prime habitat for monarch butterflies, at the home she shares with the former president, her husband of 76 years, but the public can’t visit it because of Secret Service security concerns. So Wise planted another garden nearby that could be open to visitors, and that helped lead to the butterfly trail, which includes 76 public and private gardens around rural Plains.
The butterfly trail will use Carter’s birthday to promote an annual statewide count of butterflies, the Great Georgia Pollinator Census, set for Friday and Saturday, Wise said.
Last Saturday, at an event held in honor of the former first lady’s birthday, Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter made one of their first public outings in awhile for the dedication of a new butterfly sculpture that’s part of the trail and is on property next door to where she grew up. The former first lady, using a walker, flipped a switch to illuminate the artwork at nightfall.
“They’re not getting out too much. COVID is a real concern, and their ages, too,” Wise said.
Rosalynn Carter has championed a number of causes, including conservation, but is perhaps best known as a pioneer for mental health advocacy. She worked for the passage of the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 and has continued the advocacy work through The Carter Center in Atlanta.
Bess Truman, the wife of President Harry Truman, is the only first lady to have outlived Rosalynn Carter, according to The National First Ladies Library. Truman, who was first lady from 1943 until 1953, died in 1982 at the age of 97.
Jimmy Carter, who will turn 98 on Oct. 1, is the oldest living U.S. ex-president. Photos showed him seated in a wheelchair and smiling during the sculpture dedication. | https://www.wivb.com/news/u-s-headlines/rosalynn-carter-marking-95th-birthday-with-butterflies/ | 2022-08-21T20:28:17Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/u-s-headlines/rosalynn-carter-marking-95th-birthday-with-butterflies/ | false |
MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Josef Newgarden saw the checkered flag out his windshield as the hard-charging rookie sprinted closer and closer into his rearview mirror.
David Malukas was coming fast for the leaders, seemingly out of nowhere, late Saturday night after a long rain delay and a strung-out race.
The 20-year-old was flying and darted outside and around Scott McLaughlin for second. Then he set his sights over the final lap on Newgarden, the two-time IndyCar champion so far unable to take control of the championship race.
Newgarden thought, “Wow, that kid is hungry.’”
Alas, Malukas ran out of time on the 1.25-mile oval outside St. Louis. He picked off McLaughlin, and if there had been one more lap, Malukas might have won his first IndyCar victory.
He’s still learning oval racing, even though his results show he’s a quick study. His 16th-place finish in the Indianapolis 500 was his lowest of the five ovals on the schedule; his second-place finish Saturday night was the best of his maiden IndyCar season and his first career podium.
And yet he’s left to wonder if a rookie mistake cost him a chance at running down Newgarden for the win at Gateway.
On fresh tires for the final run of the night, Malukas waited until two laps to go to experiment with the upper groove at Gateway. His car like a rocket ship in the top lane, he sailed past McLaughlin on the outside. Although he ran out of time to catch Newgarden, Malukas was closing in quickly when Newgarden took his series-best fifth win of the season.
What took him so long to try the outside lane?
“It was a bit unfortunate I did it so late. But I guess rookie season, rookie stuff,” Malukas said. “I’m going to put it in the back of my brain and remember it for next time.”
It wasn’t his only mistake of the night: Malukas was scolded by McLaughlin for mispronouncing his last name. It’s Muh-GLOCK’-luhn, McLaughlin said, and there’s no soft h.
Either way, second-place was just as good as the win on Saturday night for Malukas. He even got to celebrate with champagne when Newgarden graciously let the underage Malukas spray the real stuff instead of the grape juice he’d been given.
“Why didn’t they give me the real stuff? That’s not fun,” Malukas said. “Maybe I can just tell them I’ll close my mouth, I don’t know.”
Just three months ago he was smarting from losing Indianapolis 500 top rookie honors to Jimmie Johnson, who finished the race below Malukas but was rewarded for both an eye-popping speed show in qualifying and his ambassadorship for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
Malukas supporters were outraged and, after posting his own 200-plus mph marks in practice, as well as actually finishing highest among the Indy 500 rookies, Malukas himself wondered how he lost out on top rookie to 46-year-old Johnson.
Once the drama faded from social media, Malukas went back to big runs for tiny Dale Coyne Racing.
He finished eighth in the second race of the Iowa doubleheader last month and is ranked 16th in the standings, ahead of Indianapolis 500 winners Helio Castroneves and Takuma Sato, his teammate, and also the rest of the rookie class.
Newgarden heaped praise on Malukas after the race and said Malukas, a Lithuanian-American from the Chicago area, could probably get a little more aggressive. Newgarden is three points behind Team Penske teammate Will Power with two races remaining, yet he didn’t worry about the potential risks of racing a rookie with Saturday night’s win on the line.
“When you see rookies, I think you definitely are a bit more cautious or reserved, or at least you’re second-guessing what you think you should be doing,” Newgarden said. “I would give Malukas a lot of respect. He’s probably been one of the cleanest rookies I’ve ever seen. He’s been almost too respectful.”
Malukas acknowledged both getting out of the way of Penske cars during practice and also getting a little starry-eyed when he found himself racing Newgarden and McLaughlin.
His engineer radioed that Malukas was about to get sight of the race leaders and then he caught a glimpse of them sailing through Turns 1 and 2. It took a moment for him to realize that “Oh, my God, they’re Penskes. I’m going behind Penskes right now. This is crazy.’”
Malukas rooted for Team Penske as a kid and says he’s stayed out of their way when he made it to IndyCar this season: “Every time through practice, every time they passed me, I always let them by. Man,” he said.
And so he had to collect himself as he chased the duo.
“I was trying so hard to not get nervous. I mean, I was nervous, but I was trying so hard not to get overexcited and do something stupid,” Malukas said. “It’s definitely intimidating when there’s two Penskes in front of you.”

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A legal battle over abortion rights pitting one of the reddest states in the nation against the U.S. government has dozens of states and major medical associations seeking to weigh in.
Twenty states, Washington, D.C., the American College of Emergency Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and others are among those to have filed “friend of the court” briefs as of Wednesday, siding with the federal government’s claims that Idaho’s near-total abortion ban violates federal health care law.
“It will really place physicians in a lose-lose situation,” said Jeff Dubner, the deputy legal director for Democracy Forward, the legal team representing the coalition of medical associations.
Physicians who follow the federal law will be at risk of criminal prosecution and the loss of their medical license, said Dubner, and those who follow state law could damage patients’ health and place themselves and their hospitals at risk of federal fines or loss of funding.
The Idaho abortion ban makes performing nearly any abortion a felony, but allows physicians to defend themselves in court by showing that the procedure was necessary to save a patient’s life. The federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act requires Medicaid-funded hospitals to provide “stabilizing” treatment to patients experiencing medical emergencies, and the U.S. Department of Justice says that includes some abortions.
The Justice Department sued Idaho earlier this month in federal court and asked a judge to stop the abortion ban from taking effect.
Idaho’s neighbors in Oregon and Washington were among the states that joined to file another friend-of-the court brief, saying they fear the “spillover effect” the abortion ban could create as Idaho patients with ectopic pregnancies or other emergencies are sent to hospitals in Seattle or Portland for treatment.
States that are further away, like North Carolina, point out that their own pregnant residents could be at risk of death or harm if they happen to fall ill while visiting Idaho.
“Women’s lives are at risk because politicians are trying to take away their right to get the medical care they need,” said North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein. “States are trying to ban abortions in all cases, including rape, incest and when the mother’s health is in danger. Denying women health care when their life or health is at risk violates federal law. I’m taking these actions to help North Carolinians who may need urgent care in other states as well as other women across our nation.”
Even if the federal government wins the case, it’s likely that most abortions will remain outlawed in Idaho, where three major abortion bans have been enacted in the last two years.
In court documents, the medical organizations argued that the ban’s “life of the mother” provision is too narrow to apply to real-life medical situations and fails to account for how quickly a pregnancy complication can turn deadly.
In the case of a pregnant patient with severe bleeding, “how many blood units does she have to lose? One? Two? Five?” the organizations wrote in court documents. “How fast does she have to be bleeding? Soaking through two pads an hour? Three? How low does her blood pressure need to be?”
Other professional organizations signing on to the friend-of-the-court brief include the American Medical Association, Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, National Medical Association, National Hispanic Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Public Health Association. The American Hospital Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges wrote a separate brief also supporting the Justice Department.
The states, meanwhile, pointed out in court documents that abortion bans in other states have already led to delays or denials of emergency medical care.
One patient traveled to Michigan after being denied care for an ectopic pregnancy in her home state because the fetus still had detectible cardiac activity — making an abortion potentially illegal under so-called heartbeat laws, according to the brief.
In Missouri, one hospital required special pharmacist approval to dispense medications needed to stop severe bleeding that occurred after patients gave birth, leading to delays in care. And a Wisconsin patient who was having a miscarriage was bleeding in the hospital for 10 days before the hospital would remove the fetal tissue because of confusion about the legality of the procedure, the states said.
California, New York, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington state and Washington, D.C., all signed on to the friend-of-the court brief.
Attorneys representing the state of Idaho and the Idaho Legislature have argued that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade gave states the right to determine if or how abortions will be handled, and that the state law, dubbed the 622 Statute, doesn’t actually present any risk to patients or providers.
“The Government’s picture of a conflict between (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act) and the 622 Statue is fabricated and false, without any foundation in fact,” attorney Daniel Bower wrote for the Legislature.
Treating an ectopic pregnancy is not actually an abortion, and so isn’t barred by the state’s ban, the Legislature contends. Abortions performed to save the life of the mother won’t be affected by the law, wrote Bower, and any other emergency abortions that might be affected are extremely rare.
When they do occur, the doctors won’t be prosecuted, Bower wrote in the brief.
“This State’s prosecuting attorneys, in the standard and ordinary exercise of their prosecutorial discretion, will not second-guess the judgments and decisions of the involved medical professionals,” Bower said.

DENVER (AP) — Denver’s district attorney says she is opening a grand jury investigation into the actions of three police officers who wounded six bystanders while shooting at an armed suspect in a crowded downtown Denver nightlife zone last month.
The officers had already been placed on administrative leave pending a separate internal investigation into the July 17 shooting, which happened as dozens of patrons left bars that were closing for the night in the city’s Lower Downtown neighborhood.
“The public’s interest in this particular shooting incident is understandably high,” District Attorney Beth McCann said in a statement announcing the new investigation on Tuesday. “For the community to trust in the outcome from this incident, it is important that independent members of the community review the facts, evidence and law regarding whether these officers should be criminally charged.”
Police have said the three officers, whose names have not been made public, fired seven times in the confrontation with suspect Jordan Waddy, who police say was armed. The gunfire erupted as a nearby group of partygoers left a bar and gathered at a food truck.
The officers were following Waddy, 21, after they saw him punch another man during a fight, police have said.
Bodycam footage released by Denver police on Tuesday appears to show Waddy holding a pistol and throwing it to the ground as the officers opened fire. Police previously said Waddy was holding a firearm before the shooting.
At least one officer shot at Waddy while facing a crowd of people gathered behind the suspect, the footage shows. When the shots were fired, the crowd scattered. Some people fell to the ground in a rush to escape and others ducked behind the food truck or crawled on all fours.
Waddy, who suffered non life-threatening injuries, was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing and possession of a handgun by a previous offender. Court records said he is represented by a lawyer from the public defender’s office, which does not comment on cases.
Six bystanders were injured and authorities have said all received hospital treatment for non life-threatening injuries.
Siddhartha Rathod, an attorney representing the injured bystanders, welcomed the investigation announced by McCann.
Willis Small IV, 24, said in an interview that he was near the food truck when he felt a bullet or bullet fragment penetrate his left foot. Small looked down to see a hole through his shoe, hopped to his car and drove to the hospital.
Yekalo Weldehiwet, 26, was outside the bar after celebrating his fiance’s brother’s 23rd birthday when a bullet shattered a bone in his upper arm. His right arm went limp, “like a noodle,” he said, and he held it with his left arm as he sprinted away.
Bailey Alexander, 24, who was waiting in line at the food truck with her boyfriend, said she felt blood rushing down her body after a bullet or bullet fragment went through her upper back and exited her right arm. Alexander’s boyfriend held her up by the waist as they fled.
Speaking to reporters last month, Denver police Cmdr. Matt Clark said that officials “are deeply concerned for those who were injured during the incident and are working to provide all resources and support to them as they heal.”

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Texas on Wednesday put to death a man who fatally stabbed a suburban Dallas real estate agent more than 16 years ago, the second execution this year in what has been the nation’s busiest death penalty state.
Kosoul Chanthakoummane, 41, received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville and was pronounced dead at 6:33 p.m. He was condemned for fatally stabbing 40-year-old Sarah Walker in July 2006. She was found stabbed more than 30 times in a model home in McKinney, about 30 miles (48 km) north of Dallas.
In a brief statement after he was strapped to the death chamber gurney, Chanthakoummane thanked Jesus Christ, ministers with the Texas prison system and “all these people in my life that aided me in this journey.”
Although no relatives of Walker attended the execution, he offered a message to them: “I pray my death will bring them peace.”
As the 5 grams of the powerful sedative pentobarbital began flowing through IV lines into veins in each of his arms, he looked toward a window through which his mother quietly watched a few feet away and mouthed, “Mom, I love you.”
He then took four breaths, gasped slightly and there was no further movement. He was pronounced dead 15 minutes later.
Just before the execution took place and at Chanthakoummane’s request, a Buddhist monk placed his right hand on the inmate’s chest and read a passage from the Book of Ecclesiastes that refers to “a time for everything.” He responded: “Amen.”
Prosecutors say Chanthakoummane entered the model home and then beat Walker with a wooden plant stand and stabbed her before stealing her Rolex watch and a silver ring, which were never found. DNA evidence showed Chanthakoummane’s blood was found in various places inside the model home, including under Walker’s fingernails.
Walker had been a top-seller for home builder D.R. Horton. She had two children.
Chanthakoummane had acknowledged he was in the model home but said he only went inside to get a drink of water. He had been on parole in Texas after serving time in North Carolina for aggravated kidnapping and robbery.
“I am innocent,” Chanthakoummane had said in a letter filed in federal court in March.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals declined to delay Chanthakoummane’s execution after his attorneys had challenged the DNA evidence used to convict him. The evidence had been described by the appeals court as the “linchpin of the state’s case.” Eric Allen, one of his attorneys, said earlier Wednesday he wouldn’t file a final appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court.
His attorneys had argued new science raised the possibility Chanthakoummane’s DNA could have been transferred to Walker’s fingernails without any direct contact between the two.
But authorities said prior DNA testing in his case had failed to clear Chanthakoummane.
“Any belief by Chanthakoummane that further DNA investigation would yield results that will be helpful to his case is a fantasy,” lawyers with the Texas Attorney General’s Office wrote in court documents last month.
On Monday, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles had declined to grant Chanthakoummane either a 120-day reprieve or a commutation of his death sentence to a lesser penalty.
Chanthakoummane’s attorneys said their concerns about the DNA evidence was part of a pattern by prosecutors in using faulty evidence in the case.
At Chanthakoummane’s trial, a forensic dentist testified the death row inmate was the source of a bite mark on Walker’s neck. Such bitemark evidence has since been discredited and in 2016, Texas became the first state to call for banning bite mark analysis in criminal cases.
The two witnesses who said they saw Chanthakoummane near the murder scene were hypnotized by officers with the Texas Department of Public Safety, or DPS, to help identify him.
A 2020 report by the Dallas Morning News found most Texas judges still allow evidence derived from hypnosis despite criticism it can distort memories and lead to wrongful convictions. In January 2021, DPS stopped using hypnosis. Last year, Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a bill that would have banned people who have been hypnotized from testifying in a criminal trial.
In October 2020, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals found that while the bitemark testimony would no longer be admissible in court, Chanthakoummane’s attorneys had failed to discredit the hypnosis-related testimony.
The appeals court also found the DNA evidence was still strong.
At his trial, Chanthakoummane’s attorney, Keith Gore, told jurors his client was guilty “and he wanted to rob (Walker), and it didn’t go the right way, and he killed her.”
Walker’s father, Joseph Walker, who died last year, had opposed Chanthakoummane’s execution and had told the Times Union in New York in 2013 he had forgiven his daughter’s killer.
Chanthakoummane was the ninth inmate put to death this year in the U.S.
While Texas has been the nation’s busiest capital punishment state, the use of the death penalty in the state has reached near historic lows. Juries have continued to issue fewer death sentences and in the last couple of years most executions have been delayed by the pandemic or by legal questions over what spiritual advisers can do in the death chamber.

Since 1905, Wyomingites from all corners of the state have gathered in Douglas to celebrate and showcase the spirit of Wyoming during our annual State Fair. The best way we do this is by recognizing the accomplishments of our youngest agriculture producers who have worked hard all spring and summer to get their 4-H and FFA projects ready for their state competition.
As ranchers, the values we live by were often taught early on as we prepared our livestock for the fair. We learned the importance of balancing a checkbook and living within our means. We came to appreciate the value of good, honest work. We developed a gut sense of when to ask for help to understand a new concept and when to figure it out on our own. Unfortunately, these lessons are often lost on the government officials thousands of miles away in Washington, D.C. who too easily affect the most important parts of our natural resource-based economy.
People are also reading…
In Wyoming, over 48% of the total land and 70% of the minerals are owned by the federal government. Because of this, it can be difficult to utilize the resources of our state to produce food and energy. Wyoming ranchers are no strangers to working with this inconvenience, but the federal government’s outsized authority in our state has been acutely felt throughout Biden’s tenure.
While much of the discussion has rightly focused on the negative effect the current administration’s energy polices have had on our oil, gas and coal producers, it is important to point out they also negatively affect our agriculture producers. Ranchers are true environmentalists — we care for the land to ensure it can continue to provide a livelihood for generations to come. We have a vested interest in ensuring the land we live on, the water we drink and the air we breathe remains safe. We have worked with America’s energy industry to ensure development occurs in a responsible and sustainable manner for decades. The last thing we need is the federal government’s “help” to continue to do so.
It is no secret that our way of life in Wyoming is at risk due to federal overreach that limits our use of natural resources. This is especially evident after the Bureau of Land Management’s recent June oil and gas lease sale, where a mere 81 parcels were sold after a year and a half delay. This sale, which only occurred because of lawsuits forcing it to happen, was at a time when the price of oil was at an all-time high and is well below the average of 122 parcels per quarterly sale under the previous administration.
These policies are even more inexplicable considering how much technological advances have reduced emissions. The American energy industry is the most innovative in the world and has a strong track record of employing new emissions-cutting technologies. These innovative efforts have played a crucial role in reducing emissions related to the production of oil and natural gas by nearly 60%. Instead of shunning our American energy industry, we should be celebrating these types of innovations and what it means to create a cleaner energy future.
As ranchers, we know all too well that the heavy hand of the federal government is rarely constrained to federal land. In fact, the Biden Administration’s war on our domestic oil and gas industry has already negatively affected the property rights of ranchers in split estate situations or who own private minerals interlaced with federal minerals. Ultimately, just like the energy industry, we are also responsible for managing natural resources that make modern life possible. This puts us squarely in the crosshairs of radical environmentalists. We know when the other shoe falls, it will fall on us.
We need the federal government and our fellow Americans alike to see that investing in domestic energy production not only means we are securing the energy future of our nation, but we are also doing our part to secure our environmental and economic future as well. Wyoming’s ranchers have always had a vested interest in ensuring energy production occurs in a safe and responsible manner. Our country and state would be much better off if only those pulling the levers of power in D.C. had the same dedication, work ethic and general competence as our kids competing at the Wyoming State Fair. | https://trib.com/opinion/columns/boner-poor-federal-energy-policies-threaten-wyoming-s-traditions-and-future/article_5b4a3c0e-1ff7-11ed-89e0-9b145f7f7199.html | 2022-08-21T20:48:06Z | https://trib.com/opinion/columns/boner-poor-federal-energy-policies-threaten-wyoming-s-traditions-and-future/article_5b4a3c0e-1ff7-11ed-89e0-9b145f7f7199.html | false |

Gateway Technical College and its students had a $554 million economic impact to the college district economy, or about equal to 2.4 percent of the region’s gross regional product, a recent economic survey indicated.
In addition, one out of every 28 jobs in the Gateway Technical College District is supported by the activities of GTC and its students.
The survey was part of a sweeping report of the college’s 2020-21 Fiscal Year impact on the economy, taxpayers, its students and the state conducted by Emsi Burning Glass, a national labor market and economics analytics company.
“Gateway’s economic impact within and throughout Southeast Wisconsin is evidenced by the return on investment outlined in this study,” said Gateway Technical College President and CEO Bryan Albrecht. “On behalf of the Gateway community, we value the investment in our college and strive for positive results through education, training and community service.”
While this year’s data and analytics have changed from other studies – making it hard to compare the new study with older studies – the results are similar in that the college continues to be an important part of the area’s economic machine.
It shows the college’s strong impact on the economy and tax base of Southeastern Wisconsin as well as the long-lasting impact a Gateway education has on its graduates and the economy.
Specific findings
While the report takes a look at the lifelong impact of the college’s education on its students and the area economy, it also focuses specifically on the 2020-21 Fiscal Year for other specific data.
The economic impact outlined in the study supported 8,573 regional jobs, and Emsi Burning Glass findings showed that for every $1 of public money invested in Gateway, taxpayers receive a cumulative return of $1.30 in the form of higher tax receipts and public sector savings.
Other findings include:
By the end of the working careers of students enrolled in 2020-21, the state will have collected a present value of $99.7 million in added taxes.
People in Wisconsin invested $142.9 million in Gateway in Fiscal 2020-21. It included the college’s expenditures, student expenses and student opportunity costs. In return, the state of Wisconsin will receive an estimated present value of $1.1 billion in added state revenue over the course of the students’ working lives.
The total impact of student spending is $8.3 million in total added income and is equivalent to supporting 172 jobs.
Over a working lifetime, the benefits of the associate degree over a high school diploma will amount to an undiscounted value of $424,200 in higher earnings per graduate. The present value of the cumulative higher future earnings that all of Gateway’s Fiscal 2020-21 students will receive over their working careers is $317 million.
The study was conducted by Emsi Burning Glass, which in June rebranded itself as Lightcast.

The owner of the proposed cannabis dispensary on the border with Wisconsin said, to be honest, the value of the location is because he knows people will come across the border from Wisconsin, where they cannot buy marijuana legally. “I don’t want to pretend anything else.”
The three people were injured outside the park when shots were fired from a single vehicle, according to a spokesperson for the park, which is located about 45 miles north of Chicago.

Another choppy day of trading on Wall Street ended Tuesday with a mostly higher finish for stocks that adds to the market’s recent string of gains.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2%, its third straight gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7%, extending its winning streak to a fifth day. The Nasdaq slipped 0.2%.
Bond yields gained ground. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 2.81% from 2.79% late Monday.
The market’s latest gyrations came as traders cautiously reviewed mostly encouraging financial results from major retailers.
Walmart jumped 5.1% and after the nation’s largest retailer reported strong results that easily topped analysts’ forecasts. Home Depot rose 4.1% after also reporting better-than-expected results. The gains from both companies did much of the heavy lifting for the Dow.
Technology, health care and energy stocks fell, limiting the broader market’s advance. Broadcom fell 1.3%, Moderna slid 5% for the biggest drop in the S&P 500 and Marathon Oil fell 1.1%.
Retailers, consumer product makers and banks made solid gains.
In all, the S&P 500 rose 8.06 points to 4,305.20. The Dow gained 239.57 points to 34,152.01. The Nasdaq fell 25.50 points to 13,102.55.
Smaller company stocks edged lower. The Russell 2000 slipped 0.82 points, or less than 0.1%, to 2,020.53.
U.S. crude oil prices fell 3.2%. European markets ended broadly higher and Asian markets closed mixed overnight.
Stocks had their best month in a year-and-a-half in July and the winning streak has been continuing into August partially on hopes that inflation is easing. The latest government report on consumer prices showed that inflation essentially stalled from June to July.
Still, trading has been choppy, with major indexes swaying between gains and losses throughout each day.
The bumpy trading reflects at least partly a surge in “dip buyers,” or investors swooping in to buy stocks that have traded lower, said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading & derivatives at Charles Schwab.
“The dip buyers were just absent in the first half of the year, and whenever they did step in they got spanked every time,” he said. “That has changed now.”
Frederick points to momentum in the market right now.
“Clearly the easier direction is to the upside at this point, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have another pullback,” he said.
The latest results from retailers show that spending remains solid, even as consumers face the hottest inflation in 40 years. Wall Street has been concerned that higher prices on everything from food to clothing could eventually stunt the economy’s main engine of growth, consumer spending. Investors will get more updates on the retail sector this week, when Target reports its results on Wednesday.
The Commerce Department releases its July retail sales report on Wednesday. Economists surveyed by FactSet expect modest 0.2% growth from June, when sales rose 1%.
The retail reports are capping off the latest round of corporate earnings, which have been closely watched by investors trying to determine inflation’s impact on businesses and consumers, while trying to gauge how Federal Reserve will react. The central bank is raising interest rates in an effort to slow down economic growth and rein in inflation, though it risks hitting the brakes too hard and veering the economy into a recession.
Investors are looking for any signs that inflation is peaking or cooling in the hopes that the Fed could ease its aggressive rate hike policy. The central bank in July raised its benchmark interest rate by three-quarters of a point for a second straight time. On Wednesday, Wall Street will get more details on the process behind that decision when the Fed releases minutes from that meeting.
Investors currently expect a half-point increase at the Fed’s upcoming meeting in August, according to CME’s FedWatch tool. | https://www.wivb.com/news/business/asian-shares-mostly-higher-echoing-wall-street-rebound/ | 2022-08-21T20:57:14Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/business/asian-shares-mostly-higher-echoing-wall-street-rebound/ | true |

The main justification for the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trump’s home at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort — securing state secrets — requires us to accept the government’s characterization of purloined documents that we are not allowed to see. Trump, meanwhile, insists he had no classified documents, which is even harder to believe.
According to the search warrant inventory that was unsealed Aug. 12, the FBI found 11 sets of classified documents, ranging from “confidential” to “top secret,” at Mar-a-Lago. The top-secret documents included some that were labeled “SCI,” or “sensitive compartmented information,” an especially restricted category.
Trump does not dispute that the documents bore those labels. But he says “the very fact that these documents were present at Mar-a-Lago means they couldn’t have been classified” because he had “a standing order” as president that said any material “removed from the Oval Office and taken into the residence” was “deemed to be declassified.”
People are also reading…
If so, Trump’s treatment of classified material was remarkably cavalier. The fact that he removed documents to study in preparation for the next day’s work, which is how he describes it, had no bearing on the question of whether declassifying them could compromise national security, which is supposed to be the main consideration in such decisions.
Taking Trump at his word, all of his homework, no matter how sensitive the information it involved, was automatically declassified. Theoretically, any random person could have obtained copies of those documents under the Freedom of Information Act unless another exception applied.
Trump’s “standing order” was news to John Bolton, who served as his national security adviser for 17 months in 2018 and 2019. “I was never briefed on any such order, procedure, policy when I came in,” Bolton told The New York Times. “If he were to say something like that, you would have to memorialize that, so that people would know it existed.”
Maybe Bolton was out of the loop. But the fact that Trump’s own national security adviser was unaware of this purported policy underlines how irregular and haphazard it would have been. By Trump’s own account, his blanket declassification of whatever he happened to remove from the Oval Office meant that many documents marked as “top secret” were not secret at all.
On its face, Trump’s handling of classified material was at least as reckless as Hillary Clinton’s when she was secretary of state. Trump has long maintained that Clinton’s use of an unsecured private email server when she ran the State Department was so egregious an affront to national security that she should go to prison for it.
As Trump’s supporters are quick to point out, there is a legally relevant difference. As president, Trump had the unilateral authority to declassify secrets, while Clinton, as secretary of state, did not.
Assuming Trump really did declassify all the material found at Mar-a-Lago when he still had that power, that might mean he is not criminally liable under the Espionage Act, one of the statutes cited in the FBI’s search warrant. Or it might not, since that law does not mention classification, referring instead to mishandling of “defense information” that “could be used to the injury of the United States.”
Either way, Trump’s defense raises troubling questions about his judgment and care as the nation’s chief executive. So does his puzzling decision to keep indisputably unclassified government documents, such as his pardon for Roger Stone, that belonged in the National Archives under the Presidential Records Act, a potential violation of another law cited by the FBI.
I don’t know whether Trump’s trove of government documents posed a national security threat grave enough to justify the unprecedented and politically explosive decision to search the home of a former president who is the leading contender to oppose the current president in the next election. But its existence provides further reason, in case any was needed, to believe Trump is not qualified for that office. | https://magicvalley.com/news/opinion/columns/jacob-sullum-trumps-defense-suggests-his-treatment-of-classified-material-was-remarkably-cavalier/article_b4624720-1f19-11ed-a18b-83cdf4c1e5f8.html | 2022-08-21T20:58:48Z | https://magicvalley.com/news/opinion/columns/jacob-sullum-trumps-defense-suggests-his-treatment-of-classified-material-was-remarkably-cavalier/article_b4624720-1f19-11ed-a18b-83cdf4c1e5f8.html | true |
MASON, Ohio — Caroline Garcia generated momentum going into next week’s U.S. Open, capturing the Western & Southern Open women’s championship with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Petra Kvitova on Sunday.
The 28-year-old French woman went into Sunday’s match with a WTA Tour-leading 26 wins since June.
The 28th-ranked Kvitova and 35th-ranked Garcia both shook off first-round losses the previous week in Toronto to make their first appearances in a Cincinnati final.
Garcia broke her Czech opponent in the first game, and raced to a 4-0 lead. Garcia also gained an early edge with a first game break in the second set.
Kvitova, 32, left the court for treatment of an injury after falling behind 2-0 in the second set. She looked sharper after returning but couldn’t overcome the early break. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/tennis/garcia-beats-kvitova-to-win-western-and-southern-title/2022/08/21/ad6051e2-218f-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | 2022-08-21T21:00:10Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/tennis/garcia-beats-kvitova-to-win-western-and-southern-title/2022/08/21/ad6051e2-218f-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | false |
Jennifer Lopez wasn't the only bride walking down the aisle this weekend.
Sheryl Sandberg, who will be stepping down as the COO of Meta (formerly Facebook) in the fall, tied the knot with Tom Bernthal on Aug. 20 in Wyoming.
In an Instagram post, Sheryl, 52, shared a snap of herself and her new husband in a woodsy setting with the caption, "MARRIED" with several red heart emojis.''
For the big day, the bride wore a cap-sleeve lace gown, while the groom wore a black suit and cowboy boots.
Tom, 50, shared the same shot on his own Instagram page, writing "After both experiencing loss, @sherylsandberg and I weren't sure we would ever find love again. Over the last three years, we've merged our lives and blended our families. Our wedding today was a dream come true."
He later told People, "It is our wedding as the seven of us," referring to his three kids and Sheryl's son and a daughter—who all served as members of the bridal party.
Sheryl was previously married to Dave Goldberg, who died in 2015 at the age of 47 of an arrhythmia while on vacation in Mexico.
Sheryl and Tom began dating in 2019. They were introduced by her brother-in-law Rob Goldberg, who according to People, served as co-officiant of their wedding.
The couple got engaged in 2020. In a sweet nod to their blended family, Tom popped the question with a ring featuring five tiny hidden diamonds underneath.
"Engaged!!! @tom_bernthal, you are my everything," Sheryl wrote on Instagram at the time, alongside a sweet black and white photo of the pair. "I could not love you more."
The Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead author previously said she "could barely imagine dating again, much less getting married" after her late husband's death, but Rob "had a different idea."
"He just knew I had to meet you," Sheryl wrote in a love letter to Tom published by Good Housekeeping in 2021. "When I shook your hand for the first time, I had no clue that you would be the one to change my life."
She added, "Together, we have found a new path forward, one filled with so much gratitude and optimism." | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1342887/facebook-s-sheryl-sandberg-marries-tom-bernthal-in-wyoming?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-08-21T21:01:31Z | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1342887/facebook-s-sheryl-sandberg-marries-tom-bernthal-in-wyoming?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | false |
