MIAMI GARDENS — The fourth week of training camp for the Miami Dolphins provided a return to intrasquad practices between two weeks of joint sessions against NFC teams — Tampa Bay Buccaneers the week prior and Philadelphia Eagles this coming week.
But after the Dolphins rested most starters in the preseason win over the Bucs and presumably will for the final exhibition against the Eagles, Saturday’s preseason loss to the Las Vegas Raiders presented what will likely be the most extensive preseason look at this team with its starters on the field.
While there were several injuries in Saturday’s exhibition, specifically in the secondary, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said on Sunday he doesn’t expect any players to be affected long term as Miami has a Tuesday practice on tap ahead of joint sessions with the Eagles on Wednesday and Thursday and a preseason finale on Saturday.
Here are 10 things we learned this past week and in the 15-13 exhibition loss to Las Vegas:
Ups and downs for Tua
Tua Tagovailoa went through a week where he threw six interceptions over three practices. That’s not the end of the world, especially after such a strong training camp before the run of turnovers. Many were in simulations of late-game situations where he had to force throws downfield into coverage with time running out, and you prefer him testing his limits in practice before trying to squeeze those throws in during regular-season games. Tagovailoa was 6 of 8 for 58 yards in two drives that netted 3 points against Raiders backups without his top two wide receivers. What was encouraging was seeing Tagovailoa’s preparation and commitment to his craft pregame. He was out on the Hard Rock Stadium field alone more than four hours before kickoff Saturday, envisioning different scenarios for different plays in a personal walkthrough — a sign of his dedication toward improvement.
Gesicki’s extensive preseason playing time
Where does tight end Mike Gesicki stand in this offense? He’s a valued piece worthy of the franchise tag, but ahead of a prove-it season for him to earn a long-term extension, he’s still being run out onto the field in preseason games far longer than other starters of his caliber. Gesicki played 25 snaps, 44 percent of the Dolphins’ offensive snaps, even starting the second half. He said postgame he needs the reps, learning a new offense and essentially learning a new position as a true tight end after previously lining up out wide more often.
Cornerback depth even more concerning
It was already a concern last week, and it’s only trending deeper in that direction. Nik Needham, Keion Crossen and the newly signed Mackensie Alexander all sustained injuries in Saturday’s game — this after the team lost promising second-year cornerback Trill Williams for the season to a knee injury last week. Byron Jones is still on the physically-unable-to-perform list. The Dolphins need healthy contributors beyond All-Pro Xavien Howard. Noah Igbinoghene has had his opportunity, but he gave up a couple of the key catches on the opening series where Miami allowed a touchdown with most defensive starters in. McDaniel said he doesn’t expect any surprises with player availability for the opener in regards to the injuries.
Ground game still not up and running
It’s very basic run concepts the Dolphins are showing and not the patented misdirection in coach Mike McDaniel’s run game that will open up lanes for the backs, but 4 rushing yards in the first half is “not very much,” as McDaniel put it. Four of the starting linemen played early, as did tailback Chase Edmonds. When Miami had a second-and-1 in Raiders territory in the second offensive series, Sony Michel was stuffed twice on opposite sides of the line and left tackle Larnel Coleman, playing for standout free-agent addition Terron Armstead, committed a false start on fourth-and-1.
Jevon Holland is a Pro Bowler in the making
The second-year safety saw limited action on Saturday, but his practice week was representative of the type of game-changer he is as a ball-hawking free safety. Holland had four of the interceptions against Tagovailoa during the week of practice. He covers so much ground on the back end and is incredibly instinctive to jump routes anywhere in his vicinity.
Erik Ezukanma explodes for big outing
Tagovailoa was excited to see it was the rookie wide receiver following him up for a podium press conference following Saturday’s exhibition. The fourth-round draft pick earned the shine with six receptions for 114 yards from backup quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater and Skylar Thompson. He got separation on some, made contested catches on others and showed the different facets to his game. That’s how Ezukanma has looked for much of camp before slowing down in the past week. It was encouraging to see him respond after a quiet few practices.
Chase Edmonds figures to produce
Sentinel Sports Final
While the run game overall was not explosive, it’s clear Edmonds will still get opportunities in the passing game, being the dynamic playmaker that he is. With Raheem Mostert sitting, Edmonds made two catches for 21 yards during Tagovailoa’s two drives. One was a 17-yard gain across the field after Tagovailoa bought time, and the other was a key third-and-3 conversion after Tagovailoa went through his progression to find the tailback in the flat.
A look at Bridgewater, Thompson
Saturday offered a first glance at Teddy Bridgewater in a game setting as a Dolphin. He made some impressive throws to Ezukanma and undrafted rookie Braylon Sanders, but he was 10 of 20 for 119 yards and took a safety on an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone. Thompson was a true bright spot late, going 9 of 10 for 129 yards, several connections with Ezukanma and the touchdown pass to undrafted rookie running back ZaQuandre White. He’s made a case for the Dolphins to secure him on the active roster as a third quarterback to keep other teams from snagging him before he can be stashed on the practice squad.

Waddle, Armstead miss time
Dolphins fans will have to wait to see new star wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a game-like atmosphere, but it wasn’t for injury concern that he rested Saturday. Jaylen Waddle missed all three practices this past week in a preventative measure for what McDaniel considered a minor undisclosed injury. McDaniel said Sunday Waddle has expressed an urgency to return and feels ready. Armstead, after increasing his practice workload coming off offseason knee surgery, did not participate in team drills on Wednesday and missed Thursday’s practice entirely. McDaniel said the Dolphins are simply not trying to overload Armstead.
Sanders no longer perfect in preseason
Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made his first six preseason field goals with three from beyond 50 yards. However, he missed from 46 yards off the upright with less than two minutes remaining in Saturday’s exhibition. His field goal percentage has oscillated up and down in alternating seasons through his first four years. If that trend continues, he’s due for an accurate 2022 season after a down 2021. | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-sp-dolphins-raiders-what-we-learned-20220821-qkuxn76iuvd5rfpurxi7erh37i-story.html | 2022-08-23T00:45:17Z | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-sp-dolphins-raiders-what-we-learned-20220821-qkuxn76iuvd5rfpurxi7erh37i-story.html | false |

Dodgers, Muncy agree to $13.5M deal for 2023
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers and two-time All-Star Max Muncy have agreed on a $13.5 million, one-year contract for 2023
The deal announced Monday includes a $10 million club option for 2024 with no buyout.
His option price can increase by $4 million based on plate appearances next year: $250,000 each for 50, 250, 300 and 350, $500,000 apiece for 400 and 450, and $1 million each for 500 and 550. He would get a one-time assignment bonus of $1 million if traded.
The 31-year-old outfielder has struggled this season. He’s hitting .190 with 16 homers and 47 RBIs while playing in 99 games.
Muncy has shown signs of coming around this month when he’s batted .328 with seven homers and 15 RBI and a 1.185 OPS.
Last season, he hit .249 with a career-high 36 homers and 94 RBIs and career-bests in total bases (262) and extra-base hits (64).
Muncy is in his fifth season with the Dodgers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Banker-turned-reliever Nate Fisher found out the hard way Monday that baseball really is a numbers game.
A day after a sparkling major league debut that brightened the sports world, Fisher was cut by the New York Mets.
The NL East leaders made the move heading into the two-game Subway Series against the New York Yankees. In fact, Fisher actually was in the Mets' clubhouse at Yankee Stadium two hours before game time, then was designated for assignment.
Now completely off the 40-man roster, Fisher could be traded or placed on waivers during a seven-day period. If unclaimed, he could be assigned outright back to the minors with the Mets.
The move came while many were still reveling in the sheer improbability of Fisher's path.
On Sunday, the 26-year-old lefty who had once given up his hopes of a baseball career for a job in the financial world dazzled in his debut.
Fisher threw three scoreless innings of one-hit relief to give the Mets a chance in a game they eventually won 10-9 over the Phillies.
From determining whether to approve commercial loans at the First National Bank of Omaha in Nebraska in June 2021 to pitching a pennant race at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia in 2022.
“It’s pretty surreal right now,” Fisher said after the game. “I’m so thankful and so blessed for the opportunity. It hasn’t even sunk in yet.”
Fisher gave up one hit, walked two and struck out one. His outing spanned a 46-minute rain delay, making his work even more valuable.
When he was introduced and made his way to the mound to begin the fifth inning, the fans weren't the only ones wondering about this newcomer.
“I didn’t even know who this guy was when he came into the game today,” said Mark Canha, who hit two home runs in the win.
But going into these matchups against the Yankees, Fisher likely wouldn't have been able to pitch after his long outing. And with the Mets needing fresh arms, he was let go.
Fisher wasn't drafted out of the University of Nebraska, then pitched 12 games at Single-A for the Seattle Mariners organization in 2019.
In the wake of COVID-19 uncertainty, Fisher left baseball and joined a former coach in the banking world in 2020 in his hometown. He re-signed with the Mariners last summer and reached Triple-A.
This year in the Mets system, Fisher was 0-1 with a 3.77 ERA in 12 games at Double-A Binghamton and 1-2 with a 3.12 ERA in 12 games at Triple-A Syracuse before his call-up prior to Sunday’s game.
And hours later, he was on the mound.
“This is my dream,” he said after that outing — for now, his only big league appearance.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Thousands of Manchester United fans angry at the direction of the club under its American owners took part in a protest ahead of the Premier League game against Liverpool on Monday.
The supporters chanted against the Glazer family — “We want Glazers out” — and held banners calling for the Americans to sell United as they walked from a nearby pub to the club's storied Old Trafford stadium during the hour before kickoff of one of the biggest matches in English soccer, which United won 2-1 for its first points of the season.
Many supporters around the ground were wearing green-and-gold scarves — the colors of the club’s 1878 formation — and some also set off flares. There appeared to be a robust police presence on Sir Matt Busby Way at the entrance to the stadium forecourt.
The players from both teams, including United's Cristiano Ronaldo, arrived at the ground before the protest started.
Discontent has soared following United’s poor start to the season, which has seen the team lose both of its games — 2-1 at home to Brighton and a 4-0 humiliation at Brentford.
The target of the majority of the anger is the Glazer family, which bought United in 2005 with a leveraged takeover that loaded debt onto a club which previously didn’t have any. Critics say the Glazers, who also own the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have failed to invest enough of their own cash in the squad or facilities and have presided over years of failure by England’s biggest team.
Payments on interest, debt and dividends to the Glazers are estimated to have cost United more than 1 billion pounds.
“They are ruining the history, traditions and culture of our great club and (we) will not stand by and watch our club rot away any longer,” said The 1958, a fans’ group that arranged Monday’s protest.
Dissent toward the ownership, which has simmered since the 2005 takeover, erupted in May last year when a home league game against Liverpool had to be called off after the stadium — empty because of pandemic restrictions — was stormed before the game and thousands more supporters blocked access into Old Trafford. Two police officers were injured in clashes with fans.
That protest was sparked by the club’s involvement in the failed European Super League breakaway that collapsed amid a groundswell of condemnation from fans and the British government.
The Glazers pledged to rebuild trust with United fans in the wake of that protest but there has been little evidence of that. Joel Glazer, a co-chairman, met in person with United fans in June 2021 and outlined his intentions to invest heavily in all aspects of the club and strengthen fan representation in the decision-making process.
Last week, Jim Ratcliffe, the majority shareholder of chemical group Ineos and one of Britain’s richest people, expressed an interest in buying United, soon after Elon Musk tweeted — jokingly, as it turned out — that he wanted to do the same.
The latest protest appeared to pass off without any major incident, though some items were thrown toward Liverpool's team bus as it arrived at Old Trafford.
United won the last of its record 20 English league titles in 2013, the year managerial great Alex Ferguson retired. In recent years, two of United’s biggest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool, have dominated the domestic game.
United hasn’t won a major trophy in five seasons, its worst run since the early 1980s, despite the club having spent $1.5 billion on players since 2013.
United's latest signing, Brazil midfielder Casemiro, arrived at Old Trafford earlier Monday ahead of the Liverpool match and was introduced to fans on the field before kickoff as his transfer was being confirmed by the club. He is reportedly costing $60 million, with the club scrambling to bring in players in the final days of the transfer window.
This season has started badly, too, under Erik ten Hag, its fifth manager since Ferguson. There are already question marks over the Dutch coach's tactics and team selection.
The future of star striker Ronaldo is also uncertain after he pushed to leave during the offseason because United didn’t qualify for the Champions League.
Ronaldo was dropped to the bench against Liverpool, along with club captain Harry Maguire.
The changes were validated, with United delivering a performance of intensity and sealing victory thanks to goals by Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.

Molina back with Cards after going home for basketball title
By JAY COHEN
AP Baseball Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — Yadier Molina has rejoined the St. Louis Cardinals after traveling to his native Puerto Rico for the end of his basketball team’s championship run. The 40-year-old Molina owns the Vaqueros de Bayamón, who play in the Baloncesto Superior National league. Bayamón beat San Germán 75-61 on Saturday to clinch its 16th BSN title. Molina was placed on the restricted list Saturday and missed the final two games of St. Louis’ weekend sweep in Arizona. The veteran catcher was in the starting lineup for the opener of a five-game series at the Chicago Cubs. | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/22/molina-back-with-cards-after-going-home-for-basketball-title/ | 2022-08-23T00:48:26Z | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/22/molina-back-with-cards-after-going-home-for-basketball-title/ | false |

A levee was breached Monday in a small town near the Arizona-New Mexico state line, forcing the evacuations of 60 people after a weekend of flash floods across the American Southwest that also swept away one woman who is still missing in Utah’s Zion National Park.
In Duncan, a rural Arizona town located about 180 miles (290 kilometers) from Phoenix, weekend rains overwhelmed a dirt-barrier levee built more than a century ago to contain the Gila River, putting the town under inches of water. As many as 60 residents have evacuated, Fire Chief Hayden Boyd said. Water had already begun to recede, but more needed to before the town is safe to return to, Boyd added.
The flooding incident was among several to recently wreak havoc on a drought-stricken region that spans from Dallas, Texas to Las Vegas, Nevada — stranding tourists, closing highways and funneling trees and rocks toward downtowns. Heavy rains pummeled the Dallas-Fort Worth area, causing streets to flood and submerging vehicles as officials warned motorists to stay off the roads.
And rescue teams in southern Utah expanded their search for a lost hiker who found herself stranded amid torrential flooding. The episode illustrated how deteriorating weather conditions can transform the region’s striking landscapes enjoyed by millions — including its striking canyons made of red rock and limestone — from picture-worthy paradises into life-threatening nightmares.
Rangers said their area that teams were searching for Jetal Agnihotri, a 29-year-old from Tucson, Arizona, now includes parts of the Virgin River that flow out from the southern border of Zion National Park, where the Virgin River flows the southward toward the town of Hurricane. Agnihotri was among a group of hikers who were swept away by floodwaters rushing through a popular hiking location in one of the park’s many slot canyons. Both the National Weather Service and Washington County, Utah, had issued flood warnings for the area that day.
All of the hikers except Agnihotri were found on high ground and were rescued after water levels receded. Her brother told a local television station she could not swim.
Zion National Park is among the United States’ most visited recreation areas even though it frequently becomes hazardous and is put under flood warnings by the National Weather Service. Floods can create danger for experienced hikers and climbers as well as the many novices who have flocked to the park since the pandemic bolstered an outdoor recreation boom. Despite warnings, flash flooding routinely traps people in the park’s slot canyons, which are as narrow as windows in some spots and hundreds of feet deep.
“Once you’re in there, you’re just kind of S.O.L. if (a flash flood) happens,” said Scott Cundy, whose Arizona-based trekking company takes visitors on guided tours through the park.
Cundy vividly remembers one year when he was taking a group on a tour and turned to see a wall of water plunging toward them. They rushed to reach high ground in the Grand Canyon, a two-hour drive from Zion. Until moments before, he hadn’t seen one cloud in the sky. “It happens very fast,” he said. Given the topography, Cundy will cancel trips if there’s even a hint of rain in the narrow canyons of Zion.
Farther southeast, nearly 200 hikers had to be rescued in New Mexico, where flooded roads left them stranded in Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
In parks like Zion and Carlsbad Caverns, flooding can transform canyons, slick rocks and normally dry washes into deadly channels of fast-moving water and debris in mere minutes. In previous years, walls of water as tall as buildings have engulfed vehicles, rolled boulders, torn out trees and opened sinkholes where solid ground once stood.
In September 2015, similar storms killed seven hikers who drowned in one of Zion’s narrow canyons.
During that same storm, bodies of another 12 people were found amid mud and debris miles away in the nearby town of Hildale, Utah, a community on the Utah-Arizona border. A group of women and children were returning from a park in two cars when a wall of water surged out of a canyon and swept them downstream and crashing into a flooded-out embankment, with one vehicle smashed beyond recognition. Three boys survived. The body of a 6-year-old boy was never found.
Elsewhere, businesses and trails remained closed in the town of Moab, Utah, which was overwhelmed with floodwaters over the weekend. Trees, rocks and red-orange mud washed into town, with floodwaters carrying cars along the town’s Main Street.
Though much of the region remains in a decades-long drought, climate change has made weather patterns more variable and left soils drier and less absorbent, creating conditions more prone to floods and monsoons.
Flooding has swept parts of southern Utah in and around Moab and Zion throughout the summer, causing streams of water to cascade down from the region’s red rock cliffs and spill out from the sides of riverbanks.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A local North Carolina grand jury on Monday advanced its consideration of possible criminal charges against state Attorney General Josh Stein and two aides over an investigation into a political ad targeting Stein’s 2020 election opponent.
After hearing from a State Bureau of Investigation agent, the Wake County grand jury asked in writing that the Wake district attorney’s office submit an indictment for consideration “against any and each” of three people, including Stein himself.
The Democratic attorney general, his 2020 campaign manager Eric Stern and current state Justice Department chief of staff Seth Dearmin — a former Stein campaign manager — were identified in Monday's "presentment" document signed by the jury foreperson. They have not been charged with any crime.
Stein, a potential 2024 candidate for governor, lashed out in a statement at what he called a “nonsense investigation."
The investigation stems from a State Board of Elections complaint filed in fall 2020 by Stein's Republican opponent, Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill. He accused Stein's campaign of circulating a political ad that violated a 91-year-old libel law.
The O’Neill campaign said Stein's commercial, which accused the Republican of letting more than a thousand rape kits go untested, was “false and derogatory” because police rather than prosecutors are responsible for testing rape kits. Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman's office began investigating in 2021.
Freeman, also a Democrat, said Monday that her office could present the grand jury with a possible indictment as soon as next month. But a ruling as early as this week from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could derail the district attorney’s push for prosecution.
Stein's campaign committee has said the ad was truthful.
Freeman "continues to pursue her nonsense investigation over a campaign ad that is true from an election that is long since passed, using a 91-year-old statute that has never been used against any other candidate," the Stein campaign wrote in a statement Monday. "While the attorney general is disappointed by this ongoing distraction, he continues to focus on his work to test sexual assault kits and get justice for survivors of sexual assault.”
Freeman has recused herself from the case — citing her working relationship with O'Neill and Stein — and gave it to a senior assistant in her office.
Stein's campaign committee asked the appeals court last week to issue a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the state law while the committee and other plaintiffs seek to strike it down as unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles refused last week to grant the injunction.
Dating to at least 1931, the law makes it illegal to deliberately disseminate a false “derogatory report” that could harm a candidate’s chance of election.
The misdemeanor for violating the law carries a penalty of up to 60 days in jail with up to $1,000 in fines, but someone with an otherwise clean criminal record would avoid serving time if convicted. Any criminal charge against Stein or his aides could harm the Democrat's electoral prospects.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Thousands of Manchester United fans angry at the direction of the club under its American owners took part in a protest ahead of the Premier League game against Liverpool on Monday.
The supporters chanted against the Glazer family — “We want Glazers out” — and held banners calling for the Americans to sell United as they walked from a nearby pub to the club’s storied Old Trafford stadium during the hour before kickoff of one of the biggest matches in English soccer, which United won 2-1 for its first points of the season.
Many supporters around the ground were wearing green-and-gold scarves — the colors of the club’s 1878 formation — and some also set off flares. There appeared to be a robust police presence on Sir Matt Busby Way at the entrance to the stadium forecourt.
The players from both teams, including United’s Cristiano Ronaldo, arrived at the ground before the protest started.
Discontent has soared following United’s poor start to the season, which has seen the team lose both of its games — 2-1 at home to Brighton and a 4-0 humiliation at Brentford.
The target of the majority of the anger is the Glazer family, which bought United in 2005 with a leveraged takeover that loaded debt onto a club which previously didn’t have any. Critics say the Glazers, who also own the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have failed to invest enough of their own cash in the squad or facilities and have presided over years of failure by England’s biggest team.
Payments on interest, debt and dividends to the Glazers are estimated to have cost United more than 1 billion pounds.
“They are ruining the history, traditions and culture of our great club and (we) will not stand by and watch our club rot away any longer,” said The 1958, a fans’ group that arranged Monday’s protest.
Dissent toward the ownership, which has simmered since the 2005 takeover, erupted in May last year when a home league game against Liverpool had to be called off after the stadium — empty because of pandemic restrictions — was stormed before the game and thousands more supporters blocked access into Old Trafford. Two police officers were injured in clashes with fans.
That protest was sparked by the club’s involvement in the failed European Super League breakaway that collapsed amid a groundswell of condemnation from fans and the British government.
The Glazers pledged to rebuild trust with United fans in the wake of that protest but there has been little evidence of that. Joel Glazer, a co-chairman, met in person with United fans in June 2021 and outlined his intentions to invest heavily in all aspects of the club and strengthen fan representation in the decision-making process.
Last week, Jim Ratcliffe, the majority shareholder of chemical group Ineos and one of Britain’s richest people, expressed an interest in buying United, soon after Elon Musk tweeted — jokingly, as it turned out — that he wanted to do the same.
The latest protest appeared to pass off without any major incident, though some items were thrown toward Liverpool’s team bus as it arrived at Old Trafford.
United won the last of its record 20 English league titles in 2013, the year managerial great Alex Ferguson retired. In recent years, two of United’s biggest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool, have dominated the domestic game.
United hasn’t won a major trophy in five seasons, its worst run since the early 1980s, despite the club having spent $1.5 billion on players since 2013.
United’s latest signing, Brazil midfielder Casemiro, arrived at Old Trafford earlier Monday ahead of the Liverpool match and was introduced to fans on the field before kickoff as his transfer was being confirmed by the club. He is reportedly costing $60 million, with the club scrambling to bring in players in the final days of the transfer window.
This season has started badly, too, under Erik ten Hag, its fifth manager since Ferguson. There are already question marks over the Dutch coach’s tactics and team selection.
The future of star striker Ronaldo is also uncertain after he pushed to leave during the offseason because United didn’t qualify for the Champions League.
Ronaldo was dropped to the bench against Liverpool, along with club captain Harry Maguire.
The changes were validated, with United delivering a performance of intensity and sealing victory thanks to goals by Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.

Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford fired Manchester United to a memorable first win under Erik ten Hag as bitter rivals Liverpool were beaten 2-1 on a night of protests against the Glazer family.
The eyes of the footballing world were focused on a rocking Old Trafford as these old foes went toe-to-toe in search of their first Premier League wins of the season.
United had started the weekend bottom of the table after their four-goal humbling at Brentford compounded the home loss to Brighton, but Ten Hag’s side responded with a display of determination, aggression and skill.
Sancho showed remarkable composure when putting the hosts ahead and Rashford extended their advantage early in the second half, with Ten Hag’s men holding out for victory after Mohamed Salah reduced the deficit late on.
It was a nervy conclusion but getting over the line underlined the turnaround in character and performance from last weekend’s loss at Brentford, as well as last season’s humiliations home and away to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
New signing Casemiro will have liked what he saw and was introduced to the Old Trafford faithful before kick-off – but that move was never going to take the edge off United fans’ protests against their despised owners.
Thousands marched to the match and anti-Glazer chants provided a constant backdrop to Monday’s match without detracting from their support of the team, who responded with a quality performance.
Anthony Elanga hit a post and soon set up Sancho to coolly score in a first half that ended with Lisandro Martinez preventing Bruno Fernandes from scoring an own goal.
Anthony Martial was introduced at half-time and put Rashford through to end his 997-minute goal drought in all competitions, with the hosts threatening to pull further ahead before David De Gea’s goal came under late pressure.
United’s number one was unable to prevent Salah’s late header creeping in but the team dug deep to seal the three points, meaning they leapt above Liverpool in the table.
Star turn Cristiano Ronaldo and captain Harry Maguire were among those dropped from the starting line-up on Monday – bold calls by Ten Hag that paid off, with guttural roars greeting early challenges by a side that had looked so meek at Brentford.
United went agonisingly close to scoring in the 10th minute when Fernandes stretched to turn Scott McTominay’s pass into the path of Elanga.
The Sweden international perhaps lacked composure as he hit a post, but six minutes later made amends as he teed up nerveless Sancho to open the scoring.
Patient play ended with Elanga collecting a one-two with Christian Eriksen and pulling back for the 22-year-old, who shaped to shoot only to turn away from James Milner.
The veteran went flying the wrong way, as did goalkeeper Alisson Becker, and Sancho coolly slotted into the opposite corner. Animated Milner shouted at Virgil van Dijk as Old Trafford celebrated.
Luis Diaz missed the target as the shaken visitors attempted to draw parity and a crucial Joe Gomez block thwarted Rashford as he threatened at the other end.
Eriksen’s free-kick from an acute angle was just tipped away by Alisson and Jordan Henderson misfired wide, with Liverpool showing flickers of life in the closing stages of the first half.
Martinez blocked a Salah shot and was in the right place at the right time to prevent Fernandes directing a Milner header into his own net from the resulting corner.
Martial, whose Old Trafford future looked over when he joined Sevilla in January, came on in place of Elanga at half-time.
The France international impressed during pre-season and needed eight minutes on his return from injury to make an impact, beating Van Dijk to a loose ball and sending Rashford through on goal.
The homegrown forward beat Alisson in front of a bouncing Stretford End, with the goal surviving a VAR check for offside.
A superb point-blank stop by De Gea prevented Diaz from pulling one back and Harvey Elliott hit the side-netting after Rashford forced Alisson into action.
The forward whistled just over after Fernandes was booked for diving in the box and De Gea leapt to prevent Martinez turning into his own goal under pressure from Roberto Firmino.
De Gea produced another impressive save from substitute Fabio Carvalho but Salah reacted quickest to head home and tee up a nervy final nine minutes that United saw through. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3620005/jadon-sancho-and-marcus-rashford-fire-man-utd-to-victory-over-rivals-liverpool/ | 2022-08-23T01:00:28Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3620005/jadon-sancho-and-marcus-rashford-fire-man-utd-to-victory-over-rivals-liverpool/ | true |

Stockport forward Connor Jennings is hoping to return to the starting line-up for the home Carabao Cup tie against Leicester.
Jennings stepped off the bench in Saturday’s defeat at Mansfield after recovering from an ankle injury and is one of several players pushing for a recall.
Boss Dave Challinor has reported no major new injuries but confirmed he will make changes for the second-round tie.
Macauley Southam-Hales is still suspended after his straight red card in the recent defeat at Doncaster and Will Collar is working his way back from concussion.
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has several selection dilemmas as his side bid for their first win of the season.
Rodgers, expected to make plenty of changes, omitted Chelsea transfer target Wesley Fofana from his squad for Saturday’s defeat to Southampton due to the ongoing speculation over his future.
Harvey Barnes made his first appearance of the season against Saints, but is likely to be rested after recently recovering from a knee injury.
Ricardo Pereira (Achilles) and Ryan Bertrand (knee) remain sidelined, while the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Caglar Soyuncu, Marc Albrighton and Dennis Praet will be hoping for game time. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3619918/connor-jennings-hoping-to-return-to-stockport-starting-line-up-against-leicester/ | 2022-08-23T01:03:39Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3619918/connor-jennings-hoping-to-return-to-stockport-starting-line-up-against-leicester/ | true |
We are just days away from kicking off the high school football regular season and as usual at this time of year, teams go in with plenty of hope and optimism.
Every team will be using these early-season games as a way to get ready for their respective district play. Some are already being looked at contenders, while some others will have work to do if they want to finish in the top half of their respective districts.
Let’s take a look at how some of the high school districts involving the smaller schools in the Reporter-Telegram coverage area are shaping up and how they’re predicted to finish.
District 2-4A Division I
1. Andrews (5-7, 2-1 in 2021) – The Mustangs have what it takes to win this district again thanks to a large number of starters returning on both sides of the ball, a very good quarterback in EJ Lopez and playmakers on both sides of the ball.
2. Brownwood (4-7, 2-3) – The tradition-rich program joins the district and some are viewing the Lions as the favorite thanks in part to the return of 17 total starters, and like the Mustangs, have playmakers on both sides of the ball.
3. Lubbock Estacado (7-4, 4-0) – The Matadors have enjoyed plenty of success in recent years and they look to continue that trend this season even though they return just seven total starters and they’re moving up from Class 4A Division II. It will also be curious how the Matadors will respond to new coach William Blaylock.
4. Big Spring (6-5, 1-2) – The Steers might surprise some folks this season despite their youth on both sides of the ball. The good news is that they still have playmakers and they’re expected to be good up front on both sides of the ball.
5. San Angelo Lake View (3-8, 1-2) – Despite their record, the Chiefs were not a pushover last year and are not expected to be a pushover this year. The only question is do they have enough playmakers to make a jump up the district standings this year?
District 3-4A Division II
1. Wichita Falls Hirschi (12-3, 5-0) – The Huskies are going to be tough after moving down from Class 4A Division I. They have 12 starters returning from a team that went to the state semifinal round and Hirschi teams are usually fast and very athletic.
2. Greenwood (5-5, 3-1) – The Rangers make the move out east and traveling could become tough as the season goes on. But the Rangers are a more experienced group than last year. They return 14 starters and 23 lettermen and that should give them an edge this season.
3. Graham (7-4, 4-0) – The Steers will also be in a new district but it’s not like they’re totally unfamiliar with their opponents as they faced, Greenwood, Hirschi and Snyder last year, going 1-2 against them. They will have to replace several key players from last year’s team, but the Steers are never out of contention.
4. Snyder (9-4, 2-2) – The Tigers join Greenwood and Sweetwater as teams from the former District 1 in this new district. Snyder made a nice run to the regional semifinals last year but will also have to replace several key players on both sides of the ball.
5. Sweetwater (8-4, 4-0) – People might be selling the Mustangs short this year, but they will have to answer a lot of questions after losing most of their starters from last year’s area round playoff team. Just one starter returns on offense and just two on defense, which doesn’t bode well in a much more competitive district.
District 4-3A Division II
1. Abernathy (12-2, 4-1) – The Antelopes should once again have a strong team with 12 starters coming back from a team that went to the state quarterfinals. The Antelopes also have playmakers on both sides of the ball and are expected to be senior, junior heavy.
2. Idalou (8-3, 3-2) – The Wildcats will again be among the top teams in this district thanks to eight starters returning on both sides of the ball. Idalou has a new coach as former Lubbock-Cooper defensive coordinator Clay White takes over for Jeff Lofton, who left for an assistant coaching job at Canyon West Plains, so the team will also be going through a transition.
3. Lubbock Roosevelt (14-1, 5-0) – The Eagles may have surprised some last year with their success in the district and their run to the state semifinals. But this year, they will have work to do to equal that success after the loss of 15 lettermen to graduation. Just six total starters return from last year.
4. Stanton (5-7, 2-3) – The Buffaloes took a step forward last year by ending a playoff drought and knocking off No. 3-ranked Childress in the bi-district round. Can the Buffaloes take another step this season? They have 16 returning lettermen and a more confidence this year to at least back back-to-back playoff appearances.
5. Coahoma (3-7, 1-4) – It was a tough year for the Bulldogs but they are hungry to improve this season with six starters returning on each side of the ball. The Bulldogs will again deal with youth, but they think they have enough speed and playmakers to get back into the playoff mix.
6. Littlefield (3-7, 0-4) – The Wildcats hope the move down from Division I will help them out this season. The team has just six starters coming back and only one back on offense. They will have to overcome youth and inexperience to become a playoff contender.
District 7-1A Division I
1. Garden City (7-4, 2-1) – The Bearkats have lofty expectations and they just might be the best team in arguably the toughest six-man district in the state. Five starters return on each side of the ball, and they have playmakers up and down the roster. They have what it takes to not only win this district but make a great postseason run.
2. Rankin (10-2, 3-0) – The Red Devils might have something to say about who wins the district title as they have four starters coming back on offense and five back on defense. Rankin lost playmaking fullback Braxxton Kirkland to graduation, but they will have enough experience to make noise this season.
3. Borden County (6-6, 4-0) – It’s not often that the Coyotes are picked this low in a district but because of realignment, they’re now with Garden City and Rankin, who appear to be just a tad bit stronger. Still, don’t count out the Coyotes, who also have four starters back on offense and five back on defense.
4. Sands (5-6, 2-1) – The Mustangs make the move up to Division I and their reward was being placed in this tough district. They have plenty of experience coming back from a playoff team and new coach Tye Keith is well-respected, so the Mustangs will be competitive.
5. Grady (2-8, 1-2) – The Wildcats struggled last year with youth and inconsistent play last year and they’re going to have to overcome youth again this year. QB Hunter McAnally and RB Gunner Cherry are difference-makers and they could help propel Grady to more success this season.

DALLAS — Heavy rains across the drought-stricken Dallas-Fort Worth area on Monday caused streets to flood, submerging vehicles as officials warned motorists to stay off the roads and water seeped into some homes and businesses.
"The Dallas-Fort Worth area was pretty much ground zero for the heaviest rain overnight," said Daniel Huckaby, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
The official National Weather Service record station at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport reported 9.19 inches (23 centimeters) of rain in the 24 hours ending at 2 p.m. Monday. That ranked second for the top 10 most rain over 24 hours in Dallas on record. The most was 9.57 inches (24.3 centimeters) that fell Sept. 4-5, 1932.
"We've been in drought conditions, so the ground soaked up a lot of it but when you get that much rain over that short a period of time, it's certainly going to cause flooding, and that's what we saw, definitely in the urban areas here," Huckaby said.
Across the area, rainfall amounts ranged from less than 1 inch (3 centimeters) to over 15 inches (38 centimeters), said National Weather Service meteorologist Sarah Barnes. By Monday afternoon, the rain had moved out of the area, she said.
"There was quite a bit of variation in the rainfall totals," Barnes said.
At least one fatality was blamed on the downpours as emergency responders across the area reported responding to hundreds of high-water calls. A 60-year-old woman was killed when her vehicle was swept away by flood waters, said Clay Jenkins, presiding officer of the Dallas County commissioners. Jenkins declared a state of disaster for Dallas County and requested federal and state assistance for affected individuals.
In Balch Springs, a Dallas suburb where last month a grass fire that started in a tinder-dry open field damaged over two dozen homes, officials on Monday rescued people from flooded homes. Fire Chief Eric Neal said they rescued four people from one flooded home and one person from another.
"We had to get to them by boat and pull them to safety," said Neal, who added that others chose to stay in their flooded homes.
"As the rain stopped, the water started to recede pretty quick," Neal said.
At White Rock Lake in Dallas, where the water level has been low through the baking summer months, people with umbrellas and water-proof jackets braved the rain Monday morning to watch the deluge transform the lake's previously dry concrete spillway into what looked like a roaring river.
Trenton Cody, 29, said he drove over Monday morning to take a look at the effect the floodwaters were having on the lake's dam.
"It looks like we're high in the mountains somewhere with some like Class V rapids, which is crazy," Cody said.
Huckaby said that the flooding started overnight on streets and interstates.
"It fell very, very quickly," Huckaby said. "We had some locations there in Dallas that had more than 3 inches (8 centimeters) of rain even in one hour."
He noted that with so much concrete in urban areas, "there's just only so much that the drain systems can handle."
The water seeped into some businesses. Peter Tarantino, who owns Tarantino's Cicchetti Bar and Record Lounge in Dallas, told The Dallas Morning News that about 6 inches of water flowed into the dining room, but had receded by late morning.
He said he may be able to salvage the furniture but he'll need to replace rugs and carpets.
"I'm hoping by Thursday we'll be able to open up the bar with a few snacks," he told the newspaper. "I don't give up too easily."
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said on Twitter that based on preliminary damage assessments, he was declaring a state of disaster in Dallas County and requesting state and federal assistance.
Meanwhile, the weather caused hundreds of delays and cancellations in and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and at Dallas Love Field.
With the amount of rain that fell Monday, this August now ranks as the second-wettest on record for the area. As of 2 p.m., the National Weather Service reported total rainfall for August of 10.08 inches (25 centimeters) at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The wettest August was 10.33 inches (26 centimeters) in 1915.
"It will probably put a small dent on the drought I would imagine but I don't think it's going to get rid of it by any means," Barnes said.
She said that over the next week, there are only low chances of more rain.
"Unless we continue to see rain, we'll just probably see drought conditions worsen again," Barnes said.

Endexx Corp Quarterly Report (Form10)

While high-profile, public mass killings tend to capture the most attention, new data shows they only tell part of the story regarding violence trends in America.
Heartbroken parents have turned into anti-gun violence activists.
"My main priority is to honor my daughter's name — that's not gonna change — and be an advocate for change," said Alfred Garza III, the father of a Uvalde, Texas shooting victim.
An all-too-familiar story unfolding over the past several decades in America.
But findings in a startling analysis released by the Associated Press, USA Today, and Northeastern University show high-profile mass killings, like the massacre in Uvalde, Texas, makeup only a small fraction of mass killings in the U.S.
A mass killing is defined as an incident in which four or more people – excluding the offender – were killed. The report found mass killings in which family members are targeted are actually twice as common as incidents where strangers are targeted in public spaces.
"If you're in a violent relationship where you're noticing possession, over-jealousy, violence of any sort, that conversation with someone who knows violence and how it can escalate, and the safety planning piece is pretty critical," said Carmen Pitre, President, and CEO at Sojourner Family Peace Center.
Data from the report shows 2,644 people have lost their lives in 504 mass killing incidents since 2006, including deaths by all weapons and means.
In addition to how these mass killings happen – most were done using semiautomatic handguns– the report also highlighted who was committing these deadly acts. It found that most mass killers are men. Meanwhile, victims are nearly equal between men and women.
"It's become clear that the two parties in Washington have very different solutions of putting an end to the violent crime wave across the nation," said Rep. James Comer.
As lawmakers invest millions in preventing gun deaths, the report also noted the violence is not confined to big cities.
In July, residents in Cincinnati's West End held a "stop the violence" block party for families who have suffered some of the most heartaches in the city.
"We're out here allowing the kids to have fun. Letting them know every day don't have to be a day where you have to duck, hide, or be scared," said Pastor Tonya Sanderson.
One of the many examples of communities across the U.S. coming together to put an end to violence.
Mass shootings tend to motivate people to do something about gun laws.
James Alan Fox, a Northeastern professor who helped compile data for the study, said most of the proposed laws would have limited effect on mass shootings; but acknowledge that these laws are important in light of the thousands of gun homicides that occur each year.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Authorities say an Oklahoma sheriff's deputy is dead and another deputy was injured as they attempted to serve eviction papers in Oklahoma City on Monday.
The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office said two deputies were shot "serving a lock-out order."
The department later identified Sgt. Bobby Swartz as the deputy who was killed.
The sheriff's office said the other deputy, whose identity had not been released, was in stable condition.
According to the Associated Press, one of the deputies was shot when they went to the home's back door and the other deputy was shot attempting to pull the other to safety.
The alleged suspect left the scene in a pickup truck pulling a boat, and a chase ensued, the news outlet reported.
During the chase, gunfire between the suspect and law enforcement was exchanged, but no one was struck by gunfire, Oklahoma City Police Capt. Valerie Littlejohn told the Associated Press.
The news outlet reported that the alleged suspect, whose identity had not been released, was later arrested at the entrance of Tinker Air Force Base. | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/oklahoma-sheriff-deputy-fatally-shot-while-serving-eviction-papers-officials-say | 2022-08-23T01:19:01Z | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/oklahoma-sheriff-deputy-fatally-shot-while-serving-eviction-papers-officials-say | true |
WASHINGTON — Virginia Patton Moss, most recognizable as Ruth Dakin Bailey in the 1946 holiday movie 'It's a Wonderful Life," died Thursday from natural causes. She was 97.
Karolyn Grimes, a child actor from the movie confirmed the starlet's death in a Facebook post Sunday. Patton was the last surviving adult member of the cast.
"We have another angel! Virginia Patton Moss. She was 97 years old. She played Harry Bailey's wife in the film, it's a Wonderful Life! She is now with her beloved Cruse," Grimes wrote. "She will be missed!"
Mathews Funeral Home in Albany, Georgia, announced Thursday that the 1940s star died of natural causes.
Patton was born in Ohio on June 25, 1925 and began her career in acting as teenager, having landed a contract with Warner Bros., Universal Studios and more. During her career she also held her own popular line of women's and children's wear called "Virginia Patton of Hollywood."
Patton played Harry Bailey's wife in Frank Capra's Christmas fantasy drama "It's a Wonderful Life," which is considered one of the greatest American films, ranking No. 11 behind "Singin' in the Rain."
However, the starlet's Hollywood career was short-lived as she retired at 24, after only seven years in the movie business. She married Cruse Moss, who accompanied her through her old age until his death in 2018.
Patton and Moss moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., where they were involved in the arts community. Patton served on the Boards of the American Institute of Archeology, the Washtenaw County Mental Health Services Agency and Cleary College's Board of Trustees.
Patton is survived by her two children Carol Moss Loop and Michael Cruse Moss. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/entertainment-news/virginia-patton-moss-dies-at-97/507-647c812d-36db-4e49-998e-30a2374617d9 | 2022-08-23T01:25:20Z | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/entertainment-news/virginia-patton-moss-dies-at-97/507-647c812d-36db-4e49-998e-30a2374617d9 | true |
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Qatar recently arrested at least 60 foreign workers who protested going months without pay and deported some of them, an advocacy group said, just three months before Doha hosts the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The move comes as Qatar faces intense international scrutiny over its labor practices ahead of the tournament. Like other Gulf Arab nations, Qatar heavily relies on foreign labor. The workers’ protest a week ago — and Qatar’s reaction to it — could further fuel the concern.
The head of a labor consultancy investigating the incident said the detentions cast new doubt on Qatar’s pledges to improve the treatment of workers. “Is this really the reality coming out?” asked Mustafa Qadri, executive director of the group Equidem.
In a statement to The Associated Press on Sunday night, Qatar’s government acknowledged that “a number of protesters were detained for breaching public safety laws.” It declined to offer any information about the arrests or any deportations.
Video footage posted online showed some 60 workers angry about their salaries protesting on Aug. 14 outside of the Doha offices of Al Bandary International Group, a conglomerate that includes construction, real estate, hotels, food service and other ventures. Some of those demonstrating hadn’t received their salaries for as many as seven months, Equidem said.
The protesters blocked an intersection on Doha’s C Ring Road in front of the Al Shoumoukh Tower. The footage matched known details of the street, including it having several massive portraits of Qatar’s ruling emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, looking down on passers-by.
Al Bandary International Group, which is privately owned, did not respond to requests for comment and a telephone number registered in its name did not connect on multiple attempts to call it.
The Qatari government acknowledged that the firm hadn’t paid salaries and that its Labor Ministry would pay “all delayed salaries and benefits” to those affected.
“The company was already under investigation by the authorities for nonpayment of wages before the incident, and now further action is being taken after a deadline to settle outstanding salary payments was missed,” the government said.
Qadri said police later arrested the protesters and held them in a detention center where some described being in a stifling heat without air conditioning. Doha’s temperature this week reached around 41 degrees Celsius (105.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
Qadri described police telling those held that if they can strike in hot weather, they can sleep without air conditioning.
One detained worker who called Equidem from the detention center described seeing as many as 300 of his colleagues there from Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Nepal and the Philippines. He said some had been paid salaries after the protest while others hadn’t. His comments could not be corroborated.
Qatar, like other Gulf Arab nations, has in the past deported demonstrating foreign workers, and tied residency visas to employment. The right to form unions remains tightly controlled and available only to Qataris, as is the country’s limited right to assembly, according to the Washington-based advocacy group Freedom House.
Qatar, a small, energy-rich nation on the Arabian Peninsula, is home to the state-funded Al Jazeera satellite news network. However, expression in the country remains tightly controlled. Last year, Qatar detained and later deported a Kenyan security guard who wrote and spoke publicly about the woes of the country’s migrant labor force.
Since FIFA awarded the tournament to Qatar in 2010, the country has taken some steps to overhaul the country’s employment practices. That includes eliminating its so-called kafala employment system, which tied workers to their employers, who had say over whether they could leave their jobs or even the country.
Qatar also has adopted a minimum monthly wage of 1,000 Qatari riyals ($275) for workers and required food and housing allowances for employees not receiving that directly from their employers.
Activists like Qadri have called on Doha to do more, particularly when it comes to ensuring workers receive their salaries on time and are protected from abusive employers.
“Have we all been duped by Qatar over the last several years?” Qadri asked, suggesting that recent reforms might have been “a cover” for authorities allowing prevailing labor practices to continue.
The World Cup will start this November in Qatar.

The city issued strict water restrictions since July 13 when a water well went down. It impacted outside water uses, closed the Brame Park splash pad and put residents on a schedule when it came to suing major appliances to even washing their car.
"We appreciate the citizens working with us to conserve our water resources," the news release read. "The tremendous effort put forth by our community and city crew has allowed us to move out of a water restrictive stage."
Even so, the Brame Park splash pad will remain closed for the time being, the release said.

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) has formally announced its opposition to California Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed climate goals for 2030 and 2045.
"Governor Newsom's recently announced new set of climate goals present a significant threat to the homebuilding industry and collective effort to help the tens of thousands of people who want to buy a home in California," said BIASC CEO Jeff Montejano. "While the homebuilding industry supports reasonable and realistic laws to protect our environment, the new climate goals are both unrealistic and unachievable."
If approved, the new set of climate goals would result in the equivalent of adding a minimum of $50,000 to the price of every home in California. In addition, NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) opponents will use the new mandates to delay, deny, or block desperately needed housing projects. It will also make it impossible for local municipalities to achieve their state-required RHNA housing goals, including the overall state goal of 2.5 million new homes over the next eight-year RHNA cycle
The California Environmental Quality Act requires Greenhouse Gas emission goals, policies, and plans adopted at the statewide level to apply to projects. Although they are proposed as far-off aspirational goals for housing, these mandates become immediate starting in 2023.
Due to the extremely negative effect that the proposed climate goals will have on the effort to end California's housing crisis, BIASC strongly urges Governor Newsom to withdraw his current proposal and work with the homebuilding industry in crafting aggressive but achievable environmental standards for new development and housing.
The Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) is the voice of the region's building industry, with four chapters offering localized services to building professionals from Ventura to the southern tip of Orange County. Throughout its 99-year history, the association has served its builder and associate members by anticipating, protecting, and promoting their common interests through its many programs, services, councils, and committees.

US: Russia looks to step up hits on Ukraine infrastructure
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. State Department on Monday issued a security alert warning that Russia is stepping up efforts to launch strikes against Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure and government facilities in the coming days.
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv urged U.S. citizens still in Ukraine to depart the country immediately.
“If you hear a loud explosion or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover,” the State Department said in its alert. “If in a home or a building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.”
The State Department issued the alert after the U.S. intelligence community on Monday declassified a finding that determined that Russia would increasingly target Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, according to a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence. The official was not authorized to comment publicly about the finding and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The new intelligence comes as Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine will hit the six-month mark Wednesday, which coincides with Ukraine’s independence day from Soviet Union rule.
President Joe Biden spoke Sunday with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about concerns about shelling near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine and called for the United Nations nuclear watchdog to visit the power plant.
The official said, however, that the intelligence finding is not specifically tied to concerns about Zaporizhzhia.
The Biden administration is battling to keep western allies — and Washington — focused on maintaining pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Monday the “single most important thing going on in the world right now is to beat the Russians in Ukraine.”
Speaking at a luncheon event in Scott County, Kentucky, McConnell said the one fear he has is that the U.S. and others will “all kind of lose interest” as the war drags on.
“We need to stick with them,” McConnell said. “It’s important to us, and to the rest of the world, that they succeed.”

Top Apple products for the returning student
Apple is constantly innovating and refining. This fall, the company is slated to release iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura. One of the most touted features of this update is Lockdown Mode, an “extreme, optional level of security” for people who “may be personally targeted by a highly sophisticated cyberattack,” according to the company.
Though most users won’t need to engage Lockdown Mode, it shows the level of commitment Apple has to its users and is part of the reason why this brand has been so desirable for so many years. As you head back to school this fall, there are many Apple products to consider that can simplify your life.
Types of Apple products
There are a lot more Apple products than you probably realize.

“If you hear a loud explosion or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover,” the State Department said in its alert. “If in a home or a building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.”
The State Department issued the alert after the U.S. intelligence community on Monday declassified a finding that determined that Russia would increasingly target Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, according to a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence. The official was not authorized to comment publicly about the finding and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The new intelligence comes as Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine will hit the six-month mark Wednesday, which coincides with Ukraine’s independence day from Soviet Union rule.
President Joe Biden spoke Sunday with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about concerns about shelling near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine and called for the United Nations nuclear watchdog to visit the power plant.
The official said, however, that the intelligence finding is not specifically tied to concerns about Zaporizhzhia.
The Biden administration is battling to keep western allies — and Washington — focused on maintaining pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Monday the “single most important thing going on in the world right now is to beat the Russians in Ukraine.”
Speaking at a luncheon event in Scott County, Kentucky, McConnell said the one fear he has is that the U.S. and others will “all kind of lose interest” as the war drags on.
“We need to stick with them,” McConnell said. “It’s important to us, and to the rest of the world, that they succeed.”

SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sleep aid manufacturer Relaxium announced its new status as an Inc 5000 company. RELAXIUM®, a research-driven leading Nutraceutical Brand that's been backed by numerous clinical studies, offers non-habit-forming natural supplements that are shaking up the natural sleep aid and mood support markets. The products are formulated by Dr. Eric Ciliberti, M.D.
Every year, Inc. Magazine generates a list of the top 5,000 most successful private companies in the country based on their annual success rate. While there are a few other industry leaders that pump out a similar list, this particular compilation is known as one of the most prestigious.
The Inc. 5000, unlike other lists that are based on a company's net worth, is a renowned showcase of the most noteworthy examples of corporate development over the previous year. This powerful nod of recognition gives credit where it's due, putting it into the hands of some of the hardest-working, most talented entrepreneurs in the nation.
One of the products in the lineup, RELAXIUM® Sleep, comes at a perfect time. According to the National Institutes of Health, 50 to 70 million Americans are said to suffer from sleep disorders. "Sleeping disorders and issues are at an all-time high, and sleeping pills are no longer as trusted as they once were, for good reason," Ciliberti reportedly commented. "As such, we are delighted that our product's efficacy is being widely recognized. It's encouraging."
Dr. Ciliberti, a board-certified physician, clinical neurologist, sleep expert, and founder of The American Behavioral Research Institute, has created a line of supplements that are quickly gaining popularity as some of the most popular non-synthetic mood support products sold today.
RELAXIUM® Sleep is a sleep aid made from naturally-derived ingredients including melatonin, L-tryptophan, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and several herbal extracts: (Ashwagandha, Valerest®, a blend of hops and valerian, Chamomile Passionflower). Its efficacy has been proven in clinical trials and via the response of customers, which have been universally positive. No adverse effects were reported in the study, making it a safe and effective means of repairing and restoring your natural sleep cycle.
The RELAXIUM® customer help desk is available 24/7 via phone at 1-888-353-1205.

LOS ANGELES — Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation Monday that would have allowed some California cities to open supervised drug-injection sites as part of a pilot program meant to stem a rushing tide of fatal overdoses.
“I have long supported the cutting edge of harm reduction strategies,” he said in a veto letter. “However, I am acutely concerned about the operations of safe injection sites without strong, engaged local leadership and well-documented, vetted, and thoughtful operational and sustainability plans.”
Newsom added that he was worried about “a world of unintended consequences” that could result from authorizing an unlimited number of sites. He directed the state’s secretary of health and human services to work with local leaders to set statewide operating standards for such facilities.
The proposal would have made the nation’s most populous state home to its broadest experiment with supervised injection sites, where people who use illegal drugs could do so under the watch of staff members who are trained to intervene in overdoses.
When the bill was approved by the state’s Democratic-controlled Legislature earlier this month, it received fewer votes in favor than would be needed to override a veto.
The governor’s decision on whether to sign or veto the bill was closely watched as a signal of his political ambitions beyond California.
Newsom, a Democrat, has built a national profile as an outspoken defender of popular progressive causes like abortion rights and gun control. But political observers speculated that he would be hesitant to sign the injection-site bill, which might have yielded potent fodder for his conservative critics if it had become law.
“He likes to be ahead of the curve,” Jessica Levinson, a political analyst who teaches at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said of Newsom recently. “But if he signs this, the ads kind of write themselves: He becomes ‘Governor Heroin.’”
Supporters of the measure, including local elected officials, said that the synthetic opioid fentanyl was driving the worst overdose crisis in U.S. history, one that has become closely entwined with California’s catastrophic housing emergency. They said the bill offered Newsom a chance to save thousands of lives while also saving taxpayers the cost of many ambulance rides and emergency room visits.
The bill would have allowed the cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland, as well as Los Angeles County, to set up supervised injection facilities in communities that were already struggling with open drug use and frequent overdoses. At the centers, drug users would be offered supplies like clean needles, and could be connected with treatment services.
In 2018, as he campaigned for governor, Newsom said he was “very, very open” to an injection-site pilot project, according to The San Francisco Chronicle. But he did not signal his position on this year’s proposal until his announcement Monday.
Opponents of the proposal, including Republican state lawmakers and some law enforcement groups, argued that setting up the sites would encourage illicit drug use while failing to require users to seek treatment.
“People struggling with addiction need help, not a legal place to shoot up,” Scott Wilk, the state Senate’s Republican leader, said in a statement Monday.
Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown, a fellow Democrat, vetoed a similar bill in 2018, saying that without a requirement for treatment, the sites would not reduce drug use.
For years, California has watched other parts of the country take the lead on the idea. New York City opened the nation’s first municipal supervised drug-injection sites late last year; in April, Rhode Island became the first state to make such sites legal statewide.
Cities from Seattle to Philadelphia have made plans to open supervised injection sites. The nonprofit group that was set to open the Philadelphia center was sued by the Trump administration, but Biden administration officials are now discussing a settlement of the case, signaling openness to the idea at the federal level.
Scott Wiener, the California lawmaker who wrote the bill that Newsom rebuffed Monday, said that it might be uncomfortable for the governor to see the Biden administration advance a more progressive drug policy than his famously liberal home state.
He described the veto as a tragic missed opportunity to better address one of the state’s most pressing problems.
The proposal was “not a radical bill by any stretch of the imagination,” Wiener said in a statement Monday. “We don’t need additional studies or working groups to determine whether safe consumption sites are effective. We know from decades of experience and numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies that they work.”
He called the veto “a major setback,” but said he and other legislators would continue to press for the state to “focus on drug use and addiction as the health issues that they are.”
The governor said in his veto letter that he was open to future legislation that would allow a “truly limited pilot program.” Newsom is running for reelection this year, and is expected to win easily, after defeating a recall attempt in 2021. His strong position has allowed him to devote more time and resources to other matters.
He prompted speculation about his presidential ambitions when he purchased ads in Florida and Texas criticizing those states’ Republican governors. After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Newsom issued a “wake-up call” to his own party about the erosion of rights at the hands of a more disciplined, better-organized GOP.
Although Newsom has so far strenuously denied that he is interested in a 2024 presidential run, a recent poll found that he would be a leading contender — at least, among Californians.
According to the poll, released last week by the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, nearly two-thirds of California voters did not want President Joe Biden to seek a second term. Newsom and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who finished first in California’s 2020 Democratic presidential primary, were tied as the top candidates to replace the president on the ticket if he doesn’t run. Vice President Kamala Harris, another Californian, came in third.
On Monday, a spokesperson for Newsom’s campaign, Nathan Click, again denied that the governor had any interest in running for president. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/gov-newsom-vetoes-bill-for-drug-injection-sites-in-california/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-08-23T01:41:16Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/gov-newsom-vetoes-bill-for-drug-injection-sites-in-california/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | false |
Joy and concerns as Philippines schools reopen
By Laura Bicker
BBC News, Manila
- Published
Jhonas Doaiyne is in his third year at school in the Philippines - and yet he's never been in a classroom. Until today.
He's never been able to raise his hand and ask his teacher a question. Or sit next to his friend. Or wear his school uniform.
The eight-year-old has only ever been connected to his school through a laptop or phone screen.
He - and some 27 million other students across the country - had to study online for two years as the government in the Philippines imposed one of the longest lockdowns in the world to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
And now, for Jhonas, finally being in class means learning new rules.
"My mummy told me that if I did some chit -chat with my school mate I would be in bad trouble," he says.
But there was little chit-chat in the classes - even in the biggest ones - at the Palanan Elementary School in Makati, a district of Manila. The students were focussed fully on their teacher, many diligently copying their school schedule into their workbooks.
These scenes were being repeated in nearly half of all schools in the Philippines. Local TV stations were filled with information on the best bus routes to get children to school safely and glorious pictures of excited young children skipping through gates in brand new uniforms.
Some had even dressed up for the day in headbands that read "excited to learn". The handmade banners outside many of the schools read "welcome back, we have missed you".
Around 46 percent of students started five days of face-to-face classes on Monday - and the rest will partly stay online for now. The government hopes that all children registered to go to school will be back in classrooms by November.
But international agencies are concerned about the effects of more than two years of online learning. A recent World Bank report claims nine out of 10 Filipino children still struggle to read simple texts by the age of 10.
"Fighting this learning crisis is the challenge of our times if we do not want to lose this generation of children and youth," the report says.
Here at the school, Principal Sanchez is aware her students have fallen behind.
"We were able to assess their performance and based on those assessments we found that most of our children are missing some of the competencies expected of them," she said while outlining a special eight-week programme designed to fill at least part of the gap.
"It's overwhelming. It's a lot," said Carla, who teaches third grade.
"The transition really is the hardest. They don't know what to expect in a classroom. Online classes were just two to three hours of online studying. But today, it's already six hours of full-time face to face classes."
She explained that most of the children's parents worked full-time and that home supervision during online learning had been rare.
One grade three pupil admitted that she had trouble accessing the internet and kept missing classes. And this is in a well-connected area of the capital city. More than half of the country's population, around 58 million people, live in rural areas.
Online learning may have helped prevent the rapid spread of the virus, but it may also have made the digital educational divide in rural areas more pronounced than ever.
UNICEF described Monday as just the first of "many steps" in the country's "learning recovery journey". The organisation has helped equip schools with cleaning and disinfection kits.
But school in the Philippines is not just about learning. There are also programmes to make sure families are getting enough to eat.
Like many state schools, Palanan Elementary School weighs each child to check if they're malnourished and hands out free lunches. It managed to get the ingredients for meals to households in need during the pandemic, but finally they can monitor their students again, and make sure their ability to learn is not impeded by lack of food.
Back in the school - in corridors filled with colourful posters that urge pupils to wash their hands and keep their distance - the bubbling excitement of being back in class means many students are eager to talk about their favourite part of the day.
Augusto from the sixth grade can't stop practising his English and asking questions about where I am from.
"My favourite part is recess. For me - I'm in love with food," a girl in the third grade says before quickly reassuring the teacher that she loves classes too.
But of course, for many of them, being back at school means finally being able to meet other children.
The students stand up and introduce themselves and it has become a game to memorise all the new faces and names.
"When you get to come to classes you get to meet your new friends," says one second grader.
The rest of the class nod and clap in agreement. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-62629047 | 2022-08-23T01:47:01Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-62629047 | false |
HONOLULU — Calling allegations that a Hawaii couple stole identities of dead babies for unknown reasons unique, a U.S. judge on Monday upheld a previous ruling to detain the pair without bail.
U.S. District Judge Leslie Kobayashi said the mystery behind why the couple lived under allegedly stolen identities for so long is what makes the case unique: “Because the real question is, why?”
Primrose and Morrison have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, false statement in a passport application and aggravated identity theft. Prosecutors have suggested the case is about more than identity theft.
A search of the couple’s home in Kapolei, a Honolulu suburb, turned up Polaroids of them wearing jackets that appear to be authentic KGB uniforms, an invisible ink kit, documents with coded language and maps showing military bases, prosecutors said.
Defense attorneys for the couple have said they took a photo wearing the same jacket years ago. Further, the jacket wasn’t found in the couple’s home, but has been turned over to authorities by someone else, Assistant Federal Defender Max Mizono, who represents Primrose, said in arguing that the Russian spy theory doesn’t add up.
“Mr. Primrose’s lack of ownership and possession of the alleged KGB uniform even more strongly supports the inference that he and his co-defendant, are not, in fact, Russian spies, and that the photographs of them are more akin to dressing up in a costume, engaging in cosplay, or the like,” Mizono wrote in a motion appealing a magistrate judge’s detention order.
He explained the invisible ink as a “toy purchased many years ago for entertainment,” and the other items to also be innocuous.
Kobayashi said she only considered the charges, and not “suspicions” but was concerned about the couple’s lack of ties to Hawaii.
Prosecutors have also mentioned existence of correspondence found in the home in which an associate believed Primrose had joined the CIA or had become a Bolivian terrorist.
“Stated otherwise, it is simply not feasible that Mr. Primrose is a member of the CIA, a Bolivian terrorist, and a Russian spy, all the while working at both the U.S. Coast Guard and a private employer and living a relatively low-key lifestyle in Kapolei for the last twenty years,” Mizono said. “In sum, the government should put its money where its mouth is, submit all this evidence to the Court, and let the Court ascertain the veracity behind its claims that Mr. Primrose is a Russian spy.”
After their arrests last month and while alone in a holding room at FBI headquarters in Kapolei, the couple made comments about espionage, prosecutors said.
Morrison told Primrose that “we have the protocols,” prosecutors wrote in opposing the detention appeal.
“The FBI knows that foreign intelligence services have protocols that they teach their agents and those recruited by their agents to follow if they are ever apprehended,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Muehleck wrote, adding that making such statements when they were only being asked about identity theft “is consistent with espionage.”
Muehleck said prosecutors are also concerned that Primrose used his stolen identity to obtain a private pilot’s license, which has been seized, and that he was stationed with the Coast Guard in Kodiak, Alaska, from 2013 and 2016 while Morrison stayed in Hawaii.
The two homes they purchased under the names Fort and Montague could be subjected to forfeiture, prosecutors said.
Primrose has been fired from his contractor job and his Coast Guard retirement pay has been suspended, Muehleck said. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hawaii-couple-remain-jailed-amid-mystery-about-stolen-ids/2022/08/22/0deb2bb4-227a-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | 2022-08-23T01:52:12Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hawaii-couple-remain-jailed-amid-mystery-about-stolen-ids/2022/08/22/0deb2bb4-227a-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | true |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a federal judge Monday to prevent the FBI from continuing to review documents recovered from his Florida estate earlier this month until a neutral special master can be appointed to inspect the records.
The request was included in a federal lawsuit, the first filing by Trump's legal team in the two weeks since the search, that takes broad aim at the FBI investigation into the discovery of classified records at Mar-a-Lago and that foreshadows arguments his lawyers are likely to make as the probe proceeds.
The filing casts the Aug. 8 search, in which the FBI said it recovered 11 sets of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago, as a "shockingly aggressive move" and asserts that the action took place even through Trump had been "fully cooperative" for weeks as federal agents scrutinized the presence of presidential records at Mar-a-Lago. It also attacks the warrant as overly broad and asserts that the Justice Department should not be afforded "trust us" deference in conducting the investigation.
"Law enforcement is a shield that protects America. It cannot be used as a weapon for political purposes," the lawyers wrote Monday. "Therefore, we seek judicial assistance in the aftermath of an unprecedented and unnecessary raid" at Mar-a-Lago.
In a separate statement, Trump said "ALL documents have been declassified" and described the records as having been "illegally seized" from his home. The Justice Department countered in a terse three-sentence statement that the search had been authorized by a federal judge after the FBI showed there was probable cause to believe a crime had been committed. It said it would respond in court to the motion.
The filing specifically requests the appointment of a special master not connected the case who would be tasked with inspecting the records recovered from Mar-a-Lago and setting aside those that are covered by executive privilege — a principle that permits presidents to withhold certain communications from public disclosure.
In some other high-profile cases — including investigations involving Rudy Giuliani and Michael Cohen, two of Trump's personal attorneys — that role has been filled by a retired judge.
"This matter has captured the attention of the American public. Merely 'adequate' safeguards are not acceptable when the matter at hand involves not only the constitutional rights of President Trump, but also the presumption of executive privilege," the attorneys wrote.
The lawsuit argues that the records, by virtue of having been created during Trump's White House tenure, are "presumptively privileged." But the Supreme Court has never determined whether a former president can assert executive privilege over documents, writing in January that the issue is unprecedented and raises "serious and substantial concerns."
The high court turned down Trump's plea to block records held by the National Archives from being turned over to the Jan. 6 committee, saying then that his request would have been denied even if he had been the incumbent president, so there was no need to tackle the thorny issue of a former president's claims.
The lawsuit seeks to paint Trump as compliant with investigators, saying members of his personal and household staff were made available for voluntary interviews and quoting him as telling FBI and Justice Department officials during a June visit to Mar-a-Lago, "Whatever you need, just let us know."
But the chronology of events suggests that search took place only after other options to recover classified documents from the home had been incomplete or unsuccessful. In May, for instance, weeks before the search, the Justice Department issued a subpoena for records bearing classification markings.
After the meeting at Mar-a-Lago in June involving FBI and Justice Department officials, investigators interviewed another witness who told them that there were likely additional classified documents still stored at Mar-a-Lago, according to person familiar with the investigation who was not authorized to speak publicly about it.
The new lawsuit filed Monday was assigned to U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, who was nominated by Trump in 2020 and confirmed by the Senate 56-21 later that year. She is a former assistant U.S. attorney in Florida, handling mainly criminal appeals, and is a member of the conservative Federalist Society, according to her biography.
The months-long investigation, which burst into public view with the Mar-a-Lago search, emerged from a referral from the National Archives, which had retrieved 15 boxes of documents and other items from the estate that should have been turned over to the agency when Trump left the White House. An initial review of that material concluded that Trump had brought presidential records and several other documents that were marked classified to Mar-a-Lago.
Separately Monday, a federal judge acknowledged that redactions to an FBI affidavit spelling out the basis for the search might be so extensive as to make the document "meaningless" if released to the public. But he said he continued to believe it should not remain sealed in its entirety because of the "intense" public interest in the investigation.
A written order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart largely restates what he said in court last week, when he directed the Justice Department to propose redactions about the information in the affidavit that it wants to remain secret. That submission is due Thursday at noon.
Justice Department officials have sought to keep the entire document sealed, saying disclosing any portion of it risks compromising an ongoing criminal investigation, revealing information about witnesses and divulging investigative techniques. They have advised the judge that the necessary redactions to the affidavit would be so numerous that they would strip the document of any substantive information and make it effectively meaningless for the public.
Reinhart acknowledged that possibility in his Monday order, writing, "I cannot say at this point that partial redactions will be so extensive that they will result in a meaningless disclosure, but I may ultimately reach that conclusion after hearing further from the Government."

Wendy’s removes romaine lettuce used in sandwiches as CDC investigates E. coli outbreak in 4 states
Posted/updated on: August 22, 2022 at 6:46 pm(NEW YORK) -- Wendy's is removing the romaine lettuce it uses in some of its sandwiches as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigates an E. coli outbreak that has sickened dozens of people.
While a specific food has not been confirmed as the source of the outbreak, the CDC reported that multiple people reported getting sick after eating sandwiches with romaine lettuce from Wendy's restaurants in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"Based on this information, Wendy's is taking the precautionary measure of removing the romaine lettuce being used in sandwiches from restaurants in that region," the CDC said in a statement Friday.
While there are hundreds of varieties of E. coli, most people infected with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli can experience severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting, according to the CDC.
Symptoms usually present within four days after consuming the bacteria and most will recover without treatment within five to seven days. In severe cases, some people can develop a type of kidney failure and require hospitalization.
The CDC advised people to contact their health care provider immediately if they have any severe E. coli symptoms. Officials also instructed anyone experiencing symptoms to assist public health officials by recording what they ate in the week before they got sick and reporting their illness to a local or state health department.
Wendy's confirmed it uses a different type of romaine lettuce for salads and has not yet pulled those menu items.
"Investigators are working to confirm whether romaine lettuce is the source of this outbreak, and whether romaine lettuce used in Wendy's sandwiches was served or sold at other businesses," the CDC continued, adding that the restaurant chain "is fully cooperating with the investigation."
In a statement on its website Friday, Wendy's confirmed that it was "fully cooperating with public health authorities on their ongoing investigation of the regional E. coli outbreak reported in certain midwestern states," adding that it was "taking the precaution of discarding and replacing the sandwich lettuce at some restaurants in that region."
"The lettuce that we use in our salads is different, and is not affected by this action. As a company, we are committed to upholding our high standards of food safety and quality," the statement read.
Dr. Darin Detwiler, a professor of food policy and corporate social responsibility at Northeastern University, told "Good Morning America" that "lettuce has a long history of being a 'culprit food' with E.coli."
"Foodborne pathogens do not discriminate. Even the mightiest and the most well-meaning and food safety-focused brands are susceptible to the challenges and failures that are found every year in food safety," Detwiler explained. "Nobody cooks a salad. Lettuce of any kind is not cooked, thus it has no 'Kill Step' to eliminate any harm from pathogens."
Detwiler, who lost his own 16-month-old son Riley to E. coli in 1993 after a multi-state outbreak "resulting from consumption of hamburgers" according to the CDC, has a doctorate in law and policy and a master's in education, and has also served on the Department of Agriculture's National Advisory Board. He currently chairs the National Environmental Health Association's Food Safety Program.
The food policy expert and author explained that "much of lettuce is still in transition in terms of regulatory compliance with the [Food and Drug Administration's] Food Safety Modernization Act's produce safety rule," which former President Barack Obama signed into law in 2011 and aims to prevent foodborne illness rather than respond to it.
"Many illnesses and those infamous recalls -- think Thanksgiving 2017, 2018, 2019 -- have been tied to lettuce production's seasonal transition from Yuma, Arizona to the California central coast region," he said. "Importers of romaine lettuce and/or salad mixes containing romaine lettuce from the U.S. must declare that the product does not originate from counties of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Benito and Monterey in the Salinas Valley, California, U.S., or prove -- through testing results -- that the romaine lettuce does not contain detectable levels of E. coli O157:H7."
He also noted that "Wendy's leadership has seen outbreaks like this before" and "provided a presence at food safety industry events."
At the time of publication the CDC said it had not advised any businesses, including Wendy's, to stop selling or serving food.
Additionally, the CDC said there was "no evidence to indicate that romaine lettuce sold in grocery stores, served in other restaurants, or in people’s homes is linked to this outbreak."

AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho has defended Ghanaian forward Felix Afena-Gyan after reportedly injuring teammates Gini Wijnaldum's injury.
Earlier reports in Italy suggested that the teen sensation is responsible for the Dutchman's latest injury setback.
However, Mourinho has referred to the reports as scum and does not believe fans of the club have turned their back at the 19-year-old for such malicious rumuors.
"Sometimes football can be shit. In only 2 weeks, Gini became one of us because of his human qualities ( his football qualities we already knew). Sadly, in a very unfortunate accident, he had a bad injury that will keep him away from playing for a long time”
“But it's not just football to be shit sometimes, people can also be... Those who initiated the rumours that a top kid like Felix Afena Gyan could responsible for what happened are real scum. Let's all be together tonight: we play for AS Roma, for Wijnaldum and for Felix Afena Gyan."
Felix Afena-Gyan and his AS Roma teammates will welcome Cremonense at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Jose-Mourinho-defends-Felix-Afena-Gyan-over-claims-of-injuring-Wijnaldum-1608020 | 2022-08-23T01:55:58Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Jose-Mourinho-defends-Felix-Afena-Gyan-over-claims-of-injuring-Wijnaldum-1608020 | true |

Authorities are sounding the alarm about yet another scam. Scammers are pretending to be law enforcement and are threatening arrest for past violations unless victims pay money.
Macomb County Sheriff public information officer Sergeant Renee Yax knows all too well what is going on.
“I would say the scams are becoming a more prominent report that we’re taking lately. And the scam artists are getting much more proficient in what they do,” said Sergeant Renee Yax, a Michigan sheriff's public information officer.
She says they have a number of tricks up their sleeve.
“We find that the scam artists are able to spoof our phone number. So therefore when the numbers comes up on the victim’s caller ID, it shows Macomb County Sheriff’s Office,” Yax said. “They’re good too. They’re doing their research before they’re calling these people. I mean most people don’t know that information is easily available online.”
Zach didn’t. And he was nearly a victim.
“I didn’t answer the call. And then they left me a voicemail. And there was a detailed message with callback numbers in the voicemail,” Zach explained.
He called back. The woman on the other end said she was with pretrial claims services. Then the threats came flying at him.
“They’re going to send police to my house, and I’m going to have a warrant for my arrest, and they’re going to garnish my wages. I mean, everything,” said Zach detailing the threats.
What did they want? Money, of course.
“They actually told me they wanted $1,100,” explained Zach.
He said he almost gave his credit card information over the phone. However, some details the woman on the other end gave didn’t add up. Still, she knew lots about him, like previous addresses. She even called his dad and stepmom.
“That information, however they obtained that information, is very unsettling,” said Zach.
Sergeant Yax said it is easy to find public information on people. She explained one group being targeted by the scammers are sex offenders.
“You can give an address and it will search a certain radius to show you where any registered sex offenders are,” said Yax, showing how the names then pop up on screen.
She explained the scammer can google those names for even more personal information.
Alan Castel, a Professor of psychology at UCLA, started studying how older people could fall for scams. However, he quickly realized anyone can be victimized.
“We all have our insecurities and that’s what makes us kind of prone to being targeted for scams and fraud,” said Castel.
He detailed the core of the scammers’ techniques.
“They really try and take advantage of your emotions. So really trying to put you in stressful situations, making you rush to make decisions,” Castel explained.
He said people who have had prior run-ins with the law are more not necessarily more at risk of being scammed.
“Just because you’ve had some prior criminal history or any history doesn’t make you any more or less susceptible. It’s just that this information is being used against you to try and target your money or your time,” said Castel.
He said the best thing people can do is speak up.
“You shouldn’t feel ashamed because other people are in the same boat. And in fact you might be helping them by telling them about this scam that’s out there. So you might actually be helping other people so they don’t fall for the same scam in the future,” said Castel.
That’s why Zach is sharing his story.
“It’s hard to trick me. You know I’m very perspicacious so it’s very hard. They almost got me. And if they almost got me, odds are they’ve gotten, who knows, maybe millions of people,” said Zach.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night's TV: I know you disagree with me, but please give Marriage another go
Marriage
Investigating Diana: Death in Paris
My verdict on Marriage (BBC1), which I hailed last week with a five-star rating, provoked more disagreement from readers than almost any review in the past ten years.
It was unwatchable, you said — death by boredom, not so much slow as motionless, pretentious, pointless and offensively sweary when it wasn’t completely inaudible.
Usually, when readers take the trouble to email and tell me I’m wrong, I send back an amiable note to say that, if we all agreed about everything, I wouldn’t have a job.
But Marriage, a four-part domestic drama starring Sean Bean and Nicola Walker as a couple stifled by the grief of a child’s death nearly 25 years earlier, is an exception.
I want everyone to admire it. If you switched off, if you couldn’t bear the slowness, please think again.
By showing us two middle-aged people doing the most mundane things — loading the dishwasher, watering the plants, brushing their teeth — writer and director Stefan Golaszewski forced us to look for the story in the tiniest details
By showing us two middle-aged people doing the most mundane things — loading the dishwasher, watering the plants, brushing their teeth — writer and director Stefan Golaszewski forced us to look for the story in the tiniest details.
Like clues in a murder mystery, the keys that unlocked the characters were well hidden . . . and thrilling to find. Take a scene in the garden at the end of the third episode, when Ian tells Emma that their daughter Jess (Chantelle Alle) has met someone new. He’s ‘sweet’, apparently. Emma chuckles with derision: ‘Sweet? That won’t last. She doesn’t fancy him.’
In that snap judgment, she reveals so much about herself. We know her own marriage is solid, that it has withstood bereavement and many other trials, just as it is now weathering Ian’s redundancy and depression.
But we also know it’s Ian’s kindness she values most, and that she’s sometimes attracted to other men — such as Jamie (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), her louche, shallow boss. Ian, driven to distraction by jealousy, knows it, too.
With careless transparency, Emma has touched upon the fracture at the core of their marriage. She fell in love with him because he was sweet . . . not because she found him sexually irresistible.
You might feel I’m reading too much into a throwaway line, just eight words. If this were a standard drama, with plot twists and a three-act structure, I’d agree.
Marriage on BBC One stars Sean Bean as Ian and Nicola Walker as Emma
But nothing about Marriage was standard drama. Its chief flaw was the constant foul language. Though BBC types won’t believe it, many people wouldn’t dream of talking that way at home.
And the mumbling, meant to convey how Ian in particular disliked talking about his feelings, was sometimes frustrating.
If you can bear that, though, try Marriage again.
When they’re faffing with the dishwasher, tune your ears to what isn’t being said.
There was no shortage of plot twists in the second part of Investigating Diana: Death In Paris (C4), as any pretence of sober reportage was abandoned.
The film-makers embraced the conspiracy theorists in a confused but entertaining tangle of contradictions.

At one point, the documentary even turned supernatural, as Egyptian TV presenter Hala Sarhan described the five-star suite maintained by Mohamed Fayed as a shrine to his son, Dodi, and the Princess. ‘I felt the place is haunted by their souls,’ she said. ‘In Egypt a soul doesn’t rest until it gets justice.’
This revelation was given the same serious consideration as claims of improvised laser beams that blinded Diana’s chauffeur in that Paris tunnel.
Much was made of Fayed’s allegations that the Royal Family would rather commit murder than welcome a Muslim into the Firm.
Piers Morgan popped up, looking about 15 years old. Was he really the Daily Mirror’s editor at the time — or just on work experience?

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.

MN DPS to give away gun locks at State Fair
FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (KTTC) – Minnesota continues to see an increase in gun violence across the state. To help promote gun safety, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) will be giving away gun locks at the Minnesota State Fair.
DPS will be handing out 10,000 free gun locks to anyone interested, and you can even take home more than one.
The locks are first come first serve and can be picked up at either the DPS or the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources booths.
State officials hope this effort will reduce the frequency of unnecessary gun related deaths and injuries. By using a gun lock it makes it almost impossible for a child to use the gun, can help reduce suicides, and can reduce the number of stolen guns being used for gun violence.
“We believe that helping the gun owners secure their firearms so they cannot be used by another person, whether it’s their child or someone who’s in mental health crisis in their family or someone who’s trying to steal it for nefarious purposes,” MN DPS Commissioner John Harrington said. “We think this makes a lot of sense as a way to reduce the harm.”
Harrington also hopes that these locks help spark a conversation about gun safety with your kids and families.
If you aren’t able to attend the state fair but want a gun lock, you can contact the DPS commissioners office at 651-201-7000.

Major improvement projects under way at Melrose
Published 5:38 pm Monday, August 22, 2022
NATCHEZ — The Natchez National Historical Park recently began a series of restoration projects at Melrose, the mid-19th century suburban estate and National Historic Landmark.
Crews began installing new cedar shake roofs on nine outbuildings at Melrose, according to a press release from the National Park Service.
When completed in 1848, the estate’s main house boasted a slate roof but all of the outbuildings were covered with common cedar shakes. The crew began on the former kitchen, which today serves as the site’s visitor center with an adjoining exhibit space. In addition to the kitchen, this project calls for the re-roofing of the dairy, smokehouse, stable, carriage house, two privies and two slave cabins.
“Maintaining the building envelope on these historic structures with the best cedar shingles and installation techniques available is expected to protect the historic structures themselves for at least the next two decades while preserving the historic character of the site,” said Superintendent Kathleen Bond. “The new roofs will also prevent potential damage to the current exhibits and office space.”
Landscaping crews are also at work trimming limbs and removing dead and damaged trees throughout the Melrose estate.
“The grounds suffered substantial damage during the ice storm of 2021, and quite a bit of the work taking place today is simply clean up from that event. And, as a safety precaution, the estate requires cyclical maintenance on and removal of some trees in the formal gardens and wooded areas near the main house,” Bond said.
Finally, this fall visitors to Melrose will see painters tackling the wooden trim on the mansion and the exteriors of the kitchen, dairy, cistern houses, slave cabins, carriage house, and privies, as well as all accessibility ramps and wood fences.
“The estate should be looking its best in 2023,” said Bond. “We hope to see you there!”
The park expects these projects to have minimal impact on operations at the site, which is open seven days per week 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors with any questions are encouraged to call 601-446-5790 ahead of their visit or to monitor the alerts posted at www.nps.gov/natc. | https://m.natchezdemocrat.com/2022/08/22/major-improvement-projects-under-way-at-melrose/ | 2022-08-23T02:31:20Z | https://m.natchezdemocrat.com/2022/08/22/major-improvement-projects-under-way-at-melrose/ | false |
Personal loan interest rates tick up for both 3- and 5-year loans
Our goal here at Credible Operations, Inc., NMLS Number 1681276, referred to as "Credible" below, is to give you the tools and confidence you need to improve your finances. Although we do promote products from our partner lenders, all opinions are our own.
The latest trends in interest rates for personal loans from the Credible marketplace, updated weekly. (iStock)
Borrowers with good credit seeking personal loans during the past seven days prequalified for rates that were higher for both 3- and 5-year loans compared to the previous seven days.
For borrowers with credit scores of 720 or higher who used the Credible marketplace to select a lender between Aug. 15 and 21:
- Rates on 3-year fixed-rate loans averaged 11.86%, up from 11.18% the seven days before and up from 11.34% a year ago.
- Rates on 5-year fixed-rate loans averaged 15.46%, up from 15.33% the previous seven days and up from 13.76% a year ago.
Personal loans have become a popular way to consolidate and pay off credit card debt and other loans. They can also be used to cover unexpected expenses like medical bills, take care of a major purchase, or fund home improvement projects.
Rates for 3- and 5-year fixed-rate personal loans rose over the last week. Rates for 5-year terms edged up a slight 0.13%, while rates for 3-year terms saw a larger increase of 0.68%. Additionally, rates for both terms are higher than they were this time last year. Despite this week's increases, borrowers can take advantage of interest savings with a 3- or 5-year personal loan right now. Both loan terms offer interest rates significantly lower than higher-cost borrowing options like credit cards.
Whether a personal loan is right for you often depends on multiple factors, including what rate you can qualify for. Comparing multiple lenders and their rates could help ensure you get the best possible personal loan for your needs.
It's always a good idea to comparison shop on sites like Credible to understand how much you qualify for and choose the best option for you.
Here are the latest trends in personal loan interest rates from the Credible marketplace, updated monthly.
Personal loan weekly rates trends
The chart above shows average prequalified rates for borrowers with credit scores of 720 or higher who used the Credible marketplace to select a lender.
For the month of July 2022:
- Rates on 3-year personal loans averaged 11.04%, down from 11.1% in June.
- Rates on 5-year personal loans averaged 13.72%, up from 13.13% in June.
Rates on personal loans vary considerably by credit score and loan term. If you're curious about what kind of personal loan rates you may qualify for, you can use an online tool like Credible to compare options from different private lenders. Checking your rates won't affect your credit score.
All Credible marketplace lenders offer fixed-rate loans at competitive rates. Because lenders use different methods to evaluate borrowers, it’s a good idea to request personal loan rates from multiple lenders so you can compare your options.
Current personal loan rates by credit score
In July, the average prequalified rate selected by borrowers was:
- 8.34% for borrowers with credit scores of 780 or above choosing a 3-year loan
- 29.09% for borrowers with credit scores below 600 choosing a 5-year loan
Depending on factors such as your credit score, which type of personal loan you’re seeking, and the loan repayment term, the interest rate can differ.
As shown in the chart above, a good credit score can mean a lower interest rate, and rates tend to be higher on loans with fixed interest rates and longer repayment terms.
How to get a lower interest rate
Many factors influence the interest rate a lender might offer you on a personal loan. But you can take some steps to boost your chances of getting a lower interest rate. Here are some tactics to try.
Increase credit score
Generally, people with higher credit scores qualify for lower interest rates. Steps that can help you improve your credit score over time include:
- Pay bills on time. Payment history is the most important factor in your credit score. Pay all your bills on time for the amount due.
- Check your credit report. Look at your credit report to ensure there are no errors on it. If you find errors, dispute them with the credit bureau.
- Lower your credit utilization ratio. Paying down credit card debt can improve this important credit-scoring factor.
- Avoid opening new credit accounts. Only apply for and open credit accounts you actually need. Too many hard inquiries on your credit report in a short amount of time could lower your credit score.
Choose a shorter loan term
Personal loan repayment terms can vary from one to several years. Generally, shorter terms come with lower interest rates, since the lender’s money is at risk for a shorter period of time.
If your financial situation allows, applying for a shorter term could help you score a lower interest rate. Keep in mind the shorter term doesn’t just benefit the lender – by choosing a shorter repayment term, you’ll pay less interest over the life of the loan.
Get a cosigner
You may be familiar with the concept of a cosigner if you have student loans. If your credit isn’t good enough to qualify for the best personal loan interest rates, finding a cosigner with good credit could help you secure a lower interest rate.
Just remember, if you default on the loan, your cosigner will be on the hook to repay it. And cosigning for a loan could also affect their credit score.
Compare rates from different lenders
Before applying for a personal loan, it’s a good idea to shop around and compare offers from several different lenders to get the lowest rates. Online lenders typically offer the most competitive rates – and can be quicker to disburse your loan than a brick-and-mortar establishment.
But don’t worry, comparing rates and terms doesn’t have to be a time-consuming process.
Credible makes it easy. Just enter how much you want to borrow and you’ll be able to compare multiple lenders to choose the one that makes the most sense for you.

Teaching was a stressful job before COVID turned all of our lives upside down. Now it's even more stressful.
"For a really long time, the to do list in education has been growing more and more demanding over time. And as soon as COVID hit, that entire to-do list was kind of like thrown into the waste basket," said Rebecca Rogers, a content creator and former teacher.
In January, the National Education Association, the country's largest union, polled over 3,000 of its members.
Over half, 55%, said they were more than likely to leave or retire from teaching earlier than expected due to the pandemic. That's almost double the number from 2 years ago.
"'Here are all these new things we need you to do instead.' And then as soon as school came back, instead of picking and choosing the most necessary items on each to do list, they're like 'okay, here's both to–do lists, both of which were already pretty unmanageable for one person, have fun!'" said Rogers.
Teacher burnout from the pandemic goes hand in hand with the teacher shortages.
But the shortage is not new. The NEA has been tracking the trend for the last two decades.
"The reality is that not only have we had an educator shortage for a while, but the pandemic, just like everything else, worsened it. We have educators who are under more stress with less resources. More is being asked of them than ever before," said Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association.
Nicole Lawson is the chief human resources officer at Atlanta Public Schools.
"They are expressing the need to alleviate the burnout. And the burnout comes with the amount of planning it takes to plan for this new way of teaching. Teachers are experiencing double loads so if there's a shortage that means they're taking on additional students. Compound that with planning, it feels like you can't do enough," said Lawson.
According to a Rand survey, teachers are nearly three times more likely to report symptoms of depression than other adults.
For Rebeca Rogers, leaving the classroom came down to being overworked while the administration consistently asked her to do more.
"It was so demeaning on my mental health. During online learning I was doing 18 hours a day trying to make these animated content videos for kids and it didn't matter how much extra I was doing it was almost like expected, and no matter what I did it wasn't enough, but my mental health just couldn't take it. When I left there were 3000 vacancies in the county," said Rogers.
But it's not just that teachers are leaving the classroom. Districts are also struggling because there aren't enough students who are even pursuing the career.
"We have been extremely concerned that we have seen the decline in the number of our college students who are choosing to go into the profession. And then the number of our new educators who are going into the profession leaving the profession in those first 5 years. So this is something we've been following and working to address through policy and funding and training and just encouraging people to go into teaching," said Pringle.
Unfilled job openings lead to more work and stress for those who are still in the schools.
According to the NEA, caseloads for counselors and social workers have grown dramatically, just like the demands on teachers.
And that has a direct link to students. Many need more support due to the pandemic.
"They have to take care of themselves first so they can take care of their students. And like so many adults in the system right now they are struggling to find those additional resources and finding the time to do it. If our teachers are not doing well then our students aren't going to do well," said Pringle.
The NEA says the bottom line is clear teachers are not OK. Burnout and shortages are the biggest problems that need attention.
He said, "we are working together with educators all over the country and with mental health experts to provide educators with places to go and resources to support their colleagues and their schools and the entire community so that we can all heal together and help each other to do just that," said Pringle.

EDGEWOOD, N.M. (KRQE) – Authorities are investigating after an airman was killed in a motorcycle crash. Cannon Air Force Base says the man was Airman 1st Class Brendan Carr of the 27th Special Operations, Maintenance Squadron.
They say he was killed in the crash Sunday in Portales. There is no word yet on what led up to the crash. | https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/potential-threat-to-edgewood-middle-school-reported/ | 2022-08-23T02:39:58Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/potential-threat-to-edgewood-middle-school-reported/ | true |
(NEXSTAR) – The James Webb Space Telescope has the out-of-this-world honor of observing exoplanetary systems – those outside our solar system – but only we humans get the chance to name the systems.
Webb, the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope, left Earth in December and reached its lookout point 1 million miles away in January. After a lengthy process of aligning mirrors, ensuring the infrared detectors were cold enough to operate, and calibrating other instruments, Webb began peering into the depths of space.
Webb has shared images that went deeper into the cosmos than we’ve ever seen and recently captured a photo offering “a new view” of how a galaxy has changed over billions of years.
The $10 billion telescope isn’t done viewing the depths of space yet. NASA says Webb “has a packed schedule of science programs looking at all kinds of cosmic phenomena, like planets, stars, galaxies, black holes, and more.”
Among its targets are a handful of exoplanetary systems, which are planets that orbit stars that aren’t our sun.
A new contest has been launched to name 20 of those exoplanets and their host star.
Earlier this month, the International Astronomical Union announced the NameExoWorlds 2022 Competition to name some of the first exoplanets spotted by Webb. The IAU is responsible for a number of tasks surrounding the world of astronomy but you’re likely most familiar with one in particular – being the international authority for naming celestial bodies and features on them.
The NameExoWorlds contest invites people from around the world to team up for a chance to name the exoplanets discovered by Webb.
To participate, the IAU says you must first “create a team that brings together students and teachers, astronomy enthusiasts, amateur astronomers, and professional astronomers.” You’ll then want to select an exoworld system from this list and propose a name as a team for the exoplanet and star.
You shouldn’t name the system after yourself, your spouse, your pet, or anything else personal in your life. Instead, IAU says names “should be of things, or places of long-standing cultural, historical, or geographical significance, worthy of being assigned to a celestial object.” According to the naming rules, you’ll need two names – one for the exoplanet and one for the star it orbits.
Once you have the names, IAU says to hold an outreach event to educate others about exoplanets. You will then need to submit your proposed name and your outreach activity for evaluation.
Your proposal will go through a two-step process. A national panel will first select one proposal and two backup candidates from their country to be reviewed by the international final selection committee. The final committee will select the best candidates for each system based on the description and meaning behind the name and the outreach activity done by each team.
Teams have until November 11, 2022, to submit their proposals. Voting will be conducted from December until mid-March, with the final results announced on March 20, 2023. Full rules and details for the NameExoWorlds competition can be found here.
Images of Webb’s latest stunning discovery were released Monday. The photos, taken last month, capture unprecedented views of Jupiter’s northern and southern lights, and swirling polar haze. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, a storm big enough to swallow Earth, stands out brightly alongside countless smaller storms.
One wide-field picture is particularly dramatic, showing the faint rings around the planet, as well as two tiny moons against a glittering background of galaxies.
“We hadn’t really expected it to be this good, to be honest,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, of the University of California, Berkeley, who helped lead the observations.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Zoo Safari Park on Monday announced the arrival of a male white rhino born to a first-time mother.
The park tweeted a video of the curious new calf following his mom, Livia, around at the Nikita Rhino Resource Center.
The unnamed calf conceived through natural breeding with father J Gregory was born on Aug. 6.
“Wildlife care specialists report the calf is healthy, confident and full of energy, and that Livia is an excellent mother, very attentive and protective of her offspring,” the park said in a statement.
Livia and the calf will remain in a private habitat to allow time for bonding before being introduced to the other rhinos living at the resource center. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Male-white-rhino-born-at-San-Diego-Zoo-Safari-Park-17390885.php | 2022-08-23T02:45:17Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Male-white-rhino-born-at-San-Diego-Zoo-Safari-Park-17390885.php | true |

USDA will invest up to $300 million to support organic and transitioning farmers and address organic market challenges.
The Organic Transition Initiative aims at providing opportunities for new and beginning organic farmers and reversing the declining trend in farmers transitioning to organic, which has dropped by nearly 71% since 2008, according to USDA.
The initiative will invest:
• Up to $100 million through the Agricultural Marketing Service to build partnership networks in six regions across the U.S. to connect transitioning farmers with mentors to share practical insights and advice.
• Up to $100 million to help improve organic supply chains in targeted markets, such as feed, legumes and other edible rotational crops, livestock and dairy.
• $75 million through the Natural Resources Conservation Service to develop organic management conservation standards and offer financial and technical assistance to producers.
• $25 million through the Risk Management Agency to support transitioning and certain certified organic producers’ participation in crop insurance, including coverage of a portion of their insurance premium.
The Organic Farming Research Foundation said the initiative is a crucial investment that will support producers’ adoption of organic management and build a resilient and equitable food system.
"Organic farming brings environmental and economic benefits to communities across the country but has historically been under-invested in," said Brise Tencer, the foundation’s executive director.
“This is a meaningful investment in key programs to support organic and transitioning farmers. We have advocated for these goals for many years, and it is exciting to see them come to fruition,” she said.
Tom Chapman, CEO and executive director of the Organic Trade Foundation, said the initiative is a big step in the right direction.
"For too long, organic agriculture has been underrepresented in government programs and support, and farmers wanting to transition to organic face steep hurdles in accessing tailored organic-appropriate programs and resources at USDA,” he said.
"This initiative will have lasting positive impacts on organic agriculture. And that will mean an expansion of climate-smart agriculture practices, more economically sound rural communities, more help for beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers and increased access to organic foods for consumers," he said.
Mike Lavender, interim policy director for the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, said USDA’s commitment will support organic producers and the growing market demand for organic products.
“Overall, these investments help address the mounting need to assist farmers learning and adopting organic production systems if they are to meet growing consumer demand for organic and adopt practices that mitigate and build resilience to climate change,” he said.
The National Organic Coalition applauded USDA’s commitment and its recognition that organic farming is critical to building a more resilient food system.
“The National Organic Coalition is thrilled to see USDA embracing ideas that have been promoted by our members, including farmer-to-farmer mentorship programs, new technical assistance resources and changes in crop insurance programs to help expand domestic organic production in a sensible manner,” said Abby Youngblood, the coalition’s executive director.

Gaza women seek outdoors escape on summer nights
Issued on:
Gaza City (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) – From card games to horse rides, women in Gaza are spending their summer nights outdoors to seek solace from daily hardships in the Palestinian enclave.
"We wait for the sun to be gone to escape to the sea," said Yusra Hmedat, 43, while playing cards at a beachfront cafe in Gaza City.
"Women leave their houses, from the pressures of life, and try to stay out as long as possible," said the civil servant, as she put her cards in order.
Fifteen years into an Israeli-led blockade on Gaza, residents of the densely populated territory endure regular power cuts amid stifling summer heat.
One of Hmedat's competitors, Nawal Yassin, said she often returns home at 2:00 am or 3:00 am.
"Women try to adapt and overcome the circumstances more than men," said the 66-year-old.
In another cafe northwest of the city, housewife Umm Saeed described her nightly rendezvous as a way of coping with the impact of repeated wars between Palestinian militants and Israel.
"We try to overcome the stresses by going out, sharing our concerns and sympathising with one another," she said.
#photo1"You see people laughing, but from within everyone is devastated, psychologically."
Umm Saeed said she spends all of her disposable income at the cafe, amounting to around 15 shekels ($4.50) a day.
But with Gaza's unemployment rate hitting 47 percent last year, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, such outings are an unaffordable luxury for many.
At Al-Shati refugee camp, which overlooks the sea, Faten Abdul Rahman instead sits outside with her daughters and neighbours.
"The majority of women in the camp gather together at the door of their homes because of the poor economic situation," said Rahman, who relies on social welfare to support her seven children.
"The heat is unbearable at home. We spread out a sheet and sit with guests on the beach, which is the only free entertainment," she added.
Switching on fans or air conditioning is often out of the question in Gaza, where residents received an average of 11 hours of electricity a day last month.
This plummeted to just five hours on August 7, during the latest bout of fighting between Palestinian militants and Israel, data from the UN humanitarian agency (OCHA) shows.
Feeling human
Women like Umm Jaber Abu Assi minimise their spending by heading to the park, bringing homemade pastries and renting a chair for a shekel.
#photo2"If we went out to the sea I would need to pay more," she said, as crowds of women and children gathered at the park to the west of Gaza City.
"There's a lack of options in Gaza; leaving the house (makes us) feel that we're human," said the 43-year-old, who sometimes faces criticism for getting home after midnight.
"I don't care about the criticism. I walk home with my daughter without being scared (because) the streets are crowded," she said.
For some women, sports such as horse riding are on offer each evening.
At a club southwest of Gaza City, 22-year-old Menna Kahil is feeding her horse Ripple.
"I spend most of my time here in the evenings. I'm afraid to go out in the evening in public places alone, for fear of shelling or rocket fire," she said.
Such weapons killed at least 49 Gazans in three days of cross-border fighting this month, according to a health ministry toll.
#photo3Despite riding for a decade, Kahil said she still comes under pressure over her chosen hobby.
"I face a lot of criticism because I'm not veiled when I ride my horse at the sea," she said.

Elon Musk subpoenas former Twitter chief Jack Dorsey
Records made public on Monday show Dorsey was served with a legal order to give Musk any communications or documents related to the takeover deal inked in April.
Elon Musk has served former Twitter boss Jack Dorsey with a subpoena in a hunt for material to help him get out of buying the giant social media platform for $44 billion as agreed.
Records made public on Monday show Dorsey was served with a legal order to give Musk any communications or documents related to the takeover deal inked in April, as well as information touching on false or spam accounts or how Twitter calculates the number of its active users.
The subpoena asks for anything Dorsey has on the topics dating back to January of 2019.
Tesla boss Musk, the world's wealthiest man, has accused Twitter of fraud, alleging the company misled him about key aspects of its business, particularly the number of accounts that are actually spam or automated "bots" instead of people.
Twitter has stuck by its estimates that bots make up fewer than five percent of users.
Twitter also disputed Musk's assertion he has the right to walk away if its bot count is found to be wrong, since he didn't seek information on that topic when he made the buyout offer.
The company accuses Musk of contriving a story to escape a merger agreement that he no longer found attractive.
"Musk's counterclaims, based as they are on distortion, misrepresentation, and outright deception, change nothing," Twitter said in a court filing.
Rival lawyers have been serving subpoenas for weeks seeking documents or depositions from a wide range of people connected with the buyout, running Twitter's business, and even with a holding company formed by Musk.
Twitter co-founder Dorsey in November of last year ended his second stint as chief of the company and had voiced support for Musk taking it over.
The Twitter deal included a provision that if the deal fell apart, the party breaking the agreement would pay a termination fee of $1 billion under certain circumstances.
Billions of dollars are at stake, but so is the future of Twitter, which Musk has said should allow any legal speech -- an absolutist position that has sparked fears the network could be used to incite violence.
The legal fight is gathering speed as preparations have begun for an October trial in Delaware's Chancery Court, which specializes in complex, high-stakes business battles.
Twitter has urged shareholders to endorse the deal, setting a vote on the merger for September 13.
While fielding questions at a recent Tesla shareholders meeting, Musk was asked whether his potential ownership of Twitter might distract from his running of the electric car company.
"I think Tesla, you know, would continue to do very well even if I was kidnapped by aliens, or went back to my home planet," he joked, drawing laughter and applause.
"To be frank, I don't have an easy answer," Musk added.
He assured shareholders that, for now, he has no plans to leave his Tesla chief role.

Taking fans of The O.C. right back where we started from.
Mischa Barton, Tate Donovan and Melinda Clarke served up a sweet dose of nostalgia when the onscreen family reunited at a recent event in Charleston, S.C.
On Aug. 22, Clarke, who played the sneak and sassy Julie Cooper on the teen drama, shared a smiling selfie alongside her on-screen daughter and husband.
"SO THIS HAPPENED! Cooper family reunion!" the actress wrote on Instagram. "Warmed my heart to see these two."
Mischa responded by commenting, "Aww family photo, so good to catch up with you," while Tate echoed the sentiment, writing, "So great to see you all y'all."
Rachel Bilson also excitedly weighed in on the epic moment between her former co-stars, commenting, "And that's the coop scoop!!!! Love all 3 of these faces."
The actress famously played Summer Roberts—the best friend of Barton's Marissa Cooper—on The O.C. from 2003 to 2007.
Last fall, Bilson made her own headlines when she reunited with her on-screen boyfriend Adam Brody —who she dated IRL for three years—on an episode of her and Clarke's podcast Welcome to the OC, Bitches!, where she spoke fondly of working with the actor.
"Watching the show and, like, going back into that time and everything else, you really—I don't even know how to put this—you taught me how to act well," Bilson said to Brody in October 2021. "You made it so comfortable to just go for it and not be afraid, and everything you did and working with you really made me have the confidence to kind of, like, do whatever I wanted and go for it.
She continued, "And I just want to say thank you because it just, like, brings that all up. And I was like, 'Dude, I was never better than when I was acting with you.'"
Brody then thanked Bilson for her "lovely" words and gushed over his on-camera experiences with his ex.
"It was my pleasure and it was such a joy," he said. "I mean, look, I take the compliment. At the same time, in the pilot, you made it your own instantly and everyone fell in love with you. I felt like we were sparring so well together so fast." | https://www.eonline.com/news/1343079/the-o-c-s-rachel-bilson-has-sweet-reaction-to-cooper-family-reunion | 2022-08-23T02:56:18Z | https://www.eonline.com/news/1343079/the-o-c-s-rachel-bilson-has-sweet-reaction-to-cooper-family-reunion | true |
Satya Prakash
New Delhi, August 22
The Supreme Court today terminated the mandate of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) to manage the affairs of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to facilitate the revocation of the Indian football body’s suspension by FIFA and the return of the Under-17 Women’s World Cup to India.
I do not think that the new body that will be elected will stay in office for the entirety of its four-year period. It is my understanding that today’s order was to facilitate FIFA in order to get the U-17 Women’s World Cup back. After the World Cup, the constitution will again be up for discussion Ranjit Bajaj, Delhi FC owner
A Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud said the day-to-day management of AIFF shall be managed by the AIFF acting secretary general.
It also extended the August 28 elections by one week to accommodate the changed electoral college and the filing of nominations in accordance with the new rules. Thirty six state/UT associations will elect 17 members to the AIFF Executive Council, which will co-opt six eminent players (four men and two women), to run the affairs of the Indian football body.
India was on August 14 suspended by FIFA for “undue influence from third parties” and stripped it of the right to host the Under-17 Women’s World Cup, to be held in October. FIFA maintained that AIFF’s suspension would be revoked once the order appointing the CoA to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee was repealed. AIFF’s suspension came about after the court-appointed CoA sought contempt proceedings against former AIFF president Praful Patel and the office-bearers of seven other state associations.
Monday’s order came at the behest of the Centre. The Bench accepted the Solicitor General’s suggestion that administration be carried out by the secretary general, who was already there till the elections.
Noting that the CoA has already submitted the draft constitution together with the tabulated suggestions, the Bench appointed senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan and advocate Samar Bansal as the amici curiae in the matter.
Former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia told the Bench that India must undertake the SC-mandated reforms to ensure that the Indian men’s team would qualify for the World Cup in the future, even if it meant sacrificing the hosting right for the U-17 World Cup. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/sports/supreme-court-terminates-coas-mandate-to-run-aiff-424390 | 2022-08-23T02:58:10Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/sports/supreme-court-terminates-coas-mandate-to-run-aiff-424390 | false |

Most base metals climb on supply concerns, demand uncertainty
BEIJING, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Prices of most base metals moved higher on Tuesday, as supply-and-demand worries amid an energy crisis in Europe and China lent some support to the market against the backdrop of reduced stockpiles.
The most-traded September zinc contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was up 2% at 25,425 yuan ($3,711.73) a tonne, as of 0213 GMT.
ShFE nickel was up 0.8% at 177,600 yuan a tonne, following a 4.8% jump in the previous day, as speculation appetite emerged after Indonesian President Joko Widodo Indonesia said the country was considering imposing a tax on nickel exports this year to boost revenue in an interview with Bloomberg News last Thursday.
Officials in the nickel-rich country have previously said this could come as soon as the third quarter.
Elsewhere, ShFE lead nudged up 0.2% at 15,075 yuan a tonne, copper held at 62,860 yuan a tonne, while tin lost 0.4% to 200,950 yuan a tonne.
Demand uncertainty amid fears of global recession and interest rate hikes in the United States and Europe weighed on investors' risk appetite.
The U.S. dollar has found support in recent sessions as several Federal Reserve officials reiterated an aggressive monetary tightening stance ahead of the Fed's Jackson Hole, Wyoming, symposium this week.
A strong dollar typically places downward pressure on commodity prices as it becomes more expensive for non-U.S. holders to buy.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange edged up 0.1% to $8,038 a tonne, following a decline on Monday.
LME aluminium gained 0.4% to $2,399 a tonne, zinc rose 0.4% to $3,509.50, lead was up 0.4% to $2,021.

Alliant International University's California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling (MACC) Program Receives CACREP Accreditation
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliant International University, a leading professional practice university for mental health practitioners, announced today that its California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling (MACC) program has officially received accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). This accreditation ensures that CSPP students are receiving a quality educational experience that is reviewed against rigorous CACREP standards by counselors and counselor educators.
"Receiving the CACREP accreditation is an important milestone for CSPP and a testament to our commitment to providing the highest level of educational excellence for our students," said Dr. David Paul, MACC systemwide program director. "Above all, this accreditation ensures that our graduates will continue to have even more opportunities to excel in the counseling and mental health fields and make an immediate and needed impact in their communities."
The newly CACREP-accredited MACC program offers rigorous in-person and online courses and curriculum, which provide opportunities for out of state licensing and help prepare students for their professional careers. CACREP curricula content areas are the required educational training for counseling licensure in most states, making CACREP-accreditation a pathway to portability.
"We are committed to addressing the unmet need for mental health services across the country and CACREP accreditation for our MACC program is an important component in that mission," said Dr. David Stewart, dean of the California School of Professional Psychology. "Employers and consumers will know that our graduates have a degree meeting the most rigorous standards of training and are prepared to be excellent licensed clinical counselors wherever they are needed."

A South Dakota ethics board on Monday said it found sufficient information that Gov. Kristi Noem may have “engaged in misconduct” when she intervened in her daughter’s application for a real estate appraiser license, and it referred a separate complaint over her state airplane use to the state's attorney general for investigation.
The three retired judges on the Government Accountability Board determined that “appropriate action” could be taken against Noem for her role in her daughter's appraiser licensure, though it didn't specify the action.
The board’s moves potentially escalate the ramifications of investigations into Noem. The Republican governor faces reelection this year and has also positioned herself as an aspirant to the White House in 2024. She is under scrutiny from the board after Jason Ravnsborg, the state’s former Republican attorney general, filed complaints that stemmed from media reports on Noem’s actions in office. She has denied any wrongdoing.
After meeting in a closed-door session for one hour Monday, the board voted unanimously to invoke procedures that allow for a contested case hearing to give Noem a chance to publicly defend herself against allegations of “misconduct” related to “conflicts of interest” and “malfeasance.” The board also dismissed Ravnsborg's allegations that Noem misused state funds in the episode.
However, the retired judges left it unclear how they will proceed. Lori Wilbur, the board chair, said the complaint was “partially dismissed and partially closed,” but added that the complaint could be reopened. She declined to discuss what would cause the board to reopen the complaint.
The board can issue a public or private reprimand or direct an official to do community service. It can also make recommendations to the governor — though that option seems unlikely since the complaints are leveled against Noem.
The AP first reported that the governor took a hands-on role in a state agency soon after it had moved to deny her daughter’s application for an appraiser license in 2020. Noem had called a meeting with her daughter, the labor secretary and the then-director of the appraiser certification program where a plan was discussed to give the governor’s daughter, Kassidy Peters, another chance to show she could meet federal standards in her appraiser work.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The complaints are proving to be the first major test of the board, which was launched in 2017 in response to several scandals in state government. It has never taken public action against a state official.
Noem later Monday struck back at the board of retired judges. A spokesman for her campaign, Ian Fury, said that the board's action “did not follow state law or precedent.”
“They have yet to point to one single statute the governor has violated in either of these complaints,” he said in a statement.
The retired judges also referred a complaint that Noem flew on state-owned airplanes to political events to the state attorney general’s office for further investigation. That puts the investigation under the oversight of the interim attorney general, Mark Vargo, who was appointed by Noem.
When asked whether he would recuse himself from the investigation, Vargo said in a statement: “Based on the fact that this just happened, no decision has been made.”
“We will be diligent in our duty and thoroughly investigate the complaint that the Government Accountability Board has presented to the Attorney General’s Office," he said in an earlier statement. "The investigation, as with all other investigations, will remain confidential as does the complaint that has been presented to us. We have no other comment at this time.”
The board handled the complaints only by case number and did not refer to Noem directly in either case. Ravnsborg provided the case numbers to The Associated Press.
“Knowing what I know as the complainant, Gov. Noem should be fully investigated for her abuse of power in getting her daughter an appraiser license, and Gov. Noem should be prosecuted for her criminal use of state resources for personal gain,” he said in a statement.
The board plans to publicly release the complaint over the appraiser license for Noem after redacting some sections. It did not give a date for when that will happen.
Noem and Ravnsborg have become political enemies since he fatally struck a pedestrian in 2020. Noem pushed hard for him to be removed from office, and the state Senate convicted him on impeachment charges and removed him as attorney general. He had continued to press the complaints as a private citizen.
Fury, Noem's spokesman, charged that Ravnsborg's complaints “are all political and filed by a disgraced former attorney general who literally killed a man, lied about it, and tried to cover it up. Gov. Noem was the first to call him out for this, and he filed these complaints in retaliation.”
He also repeated Noem's defense that she followed the law in handling her daughter's licensure and that Peters received no special treatment.
Noem’s office has said the plan for Peters to get another chance was already in the works before the meeting, but the agency’s director, Sherry Bren, told a legislative committee last year that she felt “intimidated” during the meeting at the governor’s mansion where Peters’ unsuccessful application was discussed in detail. A Republican-controlled legislative committee that probed the episode concluded that Peters received special treatment.
Bren was also pressured to retire later in 2020 and eventually received a $200,000 settlement to withdraw an age discrimination complaint.
The former attorney general’s other complaint was sparked after online news website Raw Story found that Noem in 2019 used a state airplane to travel to events hosted by political organizations such as the National Rifle Association and the Republican Jewish Coalition, even though South Dakota law bars state airplanes from being used for anything other than state business.
Noem has said she was traveling to the events as an ambassador for the state.

During her performance, the beauty rocked a blue, red and white schoolgirl uniform, similar to the one in the iconic anime television series “Sailor Moon” but with a twist, making the ensemble fit her body-ody-ody perfectly as she showed off her killer curves and toned legs.
The self proclaimed hottie took to Instagram to show off her adorable look, pairing the costume with two high buns with a zig zagged part and wispy bangs.
Megan is currently promoting her new album, Traumazine, and per usual, the beauty is certainly looking cute while doing it!

The Rafael Viñoly-designed Penthouse Residences at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad Are 50% Sold
Douglas Elliman's Erin Boisson Aries Team Leads Record-Setting Sales for Full-Service Penthouses atop New High-Design, Luxury Oasis with Culinary Offerings by José Andrés
NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Flag Luxury Group, developer of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, New York, NoMad – Manhattan's most anticipated luxury hospitality and culinary destination – today announced that 50% of the property's Residences are already in contract. Douglas Elliman's Erin Boisson Aries Team is leading sales for the limited collection of 16 perfect pied-à-terre penthouses where buyers enjoy breathtaking views and unmatched luxury experiences while also benefiting from owning a condo that, when not in use, can be expertly managed by The Ritz-Carlton. It was also announced that every contract was signed at the full asking price, and at the highest prices per square foot ever achieved in the neighborhood
"Buyers are coming into New York City with a more global perspective, seeking a foothold while also honoring a flexible lifestyle that isn't tied to one place. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, New York, NoMad offer a pied-à-terre that's tailor made for this audience – a full-service trophy penthouse you own but that can be managed by the hotel when not in town," said Erin Boisson Aries, Douglas Elliman Realty. "It's telling that half of the condominiums sold before the hotel even opened and for record-setting prices. Buyers are eager to secure their penthouse residence before prices rise and with so few opportunities remaining."
The hotel and residences together create a cultural focal point within the city's most energetic neighborhood: NoMad (North of Madison Square Park). The limited edition one- and two-bedroom penthouses encompass the top four floors of the 44-story tower by architect Rafael Viñoly. Ranging from 911 to 1,848 square feet, the custom-designed homes are oriented around picture-perfect helicopter views framed by One World Trade Center and both rivers, with high ceilings and generous living spaces. Poliform kitchens feature honed white quartzite countertops and backsplash, bronzed glass cabinetry, and premium Miele appliances. Lavish primary and secondary bathrooms are a personal oasis to complement the hotel's full-service spa with deep Duravit soaking tubs, a separate shower and water closet, and Bardiglio Nuvolato marble floors and walls.
Curated for the ultimate city pied-à-terre lifestyle, the penthouses elevate the everyday experience while also doubling as a sumptuous suite for guests. Owners enjoy the ease of having one of the most deliberate and flexible pied-à-terres ever designed in New York City. They can access their penthouse whenever they need– up to 120 days a year and 29 days consecutively – and can leverage their purchase through the hotel when not in town, knowing everything is expertly cared for and managed by The Ritz-Carlton. All residences have a dedicated owner's closet for storing personal belongings. For additional flexibility, the corner two-bedroom penthouses can be seamlessly transformed into two private suites, making it easy for Owners to adapt the space based on their needs.
Coming home to Manhattan is an artful experience when you live at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad – with the brand's signature personalized service at your fingertips and the finest culinary and wellness amenities just an elevator ride away, or hand-delivered to your door.
The hotel opened last week and is already receiving acclaim, particularly for its unique food and beverage partnership with Michelin-starred chef and global citizen José Andrés. Zaytinya, located on the ground floor, presents an innovative mezze menu and creative cocktails in a magical space designed by Rockwell Group. Also by Andres, Nubeluz, located on the rooftop is a glittering jewel box designed by Martin Brudnizki Studio (of Annabelle's in London), where sweeping, unparalleled views complement classic cocktails, light bites and an array of Tablas from Andrés' native Spain. The Lobby Lounge and Bar is ideal for a quick pastry and coffee, an afternoon glass of champagne, or nightcap. A third dining destination will open later this year, The Bazaar by José Andrés. Perhaps most exciting for residents, chef José Andrés will also be curating the in-residence dining menu for Owners.
Amenities also include the Club Lounge for relaxing and working while experiencing dedicated concierge service and a variety of culinary offerings throughout the day. The signature Ritz-Carlton Spaand Fitness Center includes a range of treatment rooms, sauna and steam rooms, with luxury skincare treatments from Augustinus Bader. The hotel has a range of both large and informal business meeting spaces, including a vast outdoor terrace, with banquet and catering offerings also curated by Andrés.
Dedicated staff are available to handle personal arrangements, from travel coordination to pet care, and everything in between. Owners can also take advantage of the hotel's in-house concierge.
"The penthouse residences at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad, combine the extraordinary service and experiences the brand is known for with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of a new landmark hotel. We are thrilled with the response and encourage buyers to act quickly with availability now extremely limited," said Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, President of Flag Luxury Group.
Only eight penthouses are still available for purchase. Current pricing for a one-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom starts at $4,000,000 and at $7,200,000 for a two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom. Initial occupancy is anticipated this October.

A-State alum Kirk Merritt getting RB reps at Saints practice
METAIRIE, La. (KAIT) - A former Red Wolf is in a interesting storyline at NFL Training Camp.
Kirk Merritt got reps at running back Monday in Saints practice. The former All-Sun Belt wide receiver is also plying his trade in special teams. He had 84 kick return yards for New Orleans in a preseason matchup at Green Bay.
Merritt on the mic in New Orleans. “I started playing football when I was 6, so it’s always been running back all the way up to high school. Played a little bit of receiver then,” he added. “I like it a lot. Obviously it’s new to me. It’s only my 2nd day, but I like it so far. It’s different. I mean obviously you’re going against smaller guys, but now you’re going against bigger guys, like 250 and whatnot. Off of special teams and learning that, so I can take it to the running backs.”
The Saints play

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jake Odorizzi struck out seven and Michael Harris II hit a two-run homer, helping the Atlanta Braves gain in the NL East with a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.
Odorizzi (5-5) allowed one run on four hits in six innings, retiring 14 of the final 15 batters he faced. The right-hander had not made it past the fifth inning in his previous three outings, allowing five runs on eight hits to the New York Mets in a loss his last time out on Aug. 17.
“It's good to see the results after what I thought I found the last start,” Odorizzi said. “Change up the mechanics, change up the windup, the set position again, just like I did the other day. Same results. Just felt way more in control, way more balanced and effective in the zone, really.”
Harris hit the 13th homer of his rookie season into the leftfield bleachers off a curveball from Roansy Contreras (3-4).
The Braves have won 12 of 14 to pull within three games of the Mets, who lost 4-2 to the Yankees.
“It's huge. You got another win,” Harris said. “We'll take it. It was 2-1, but they all count. We're just trying to go out there and get win after win. We did that tonight. So, just keep trying to do that.”
Kenley Jansen struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 29th save.
Harris' home run followed a lead-off single from Vaughn Grissom, Atlanta’s first two hits since Ronald Acuña Jr. exited a 62-minute rain delay with a double to lead off the first.
“It's unbelievable,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Harris' power. “For a young guy like that, you think, ‘Man, what happens when he gets strong and matures?' That power the other way is just crazy.”
Contreras went past the sixth inning for the first time in 12 major league starts, giving up two runs on four hits with five strikeouts in seven innings. The 22-year-old has given up two runs or less in four of his past six starts in the majors.
“He was making pitches too,” Snitker said. “He kept it out of the middle of the strike zone and got some big outs. Other than Michael, we hit a couple balls, but we didn't square anything up good off of him. He did a good job. He kept his club in the game too.”
Oneil Cruz hit his 10th homer with one out in the fifth, a towering solo shot off a cutter from Odorizzi that went 366 feet over the wall in right.
Odorizzi hadn’t allowed a runner since a single from Rodolfo Castro with one out in the second. He sent down the next five in order to end his night.
“We don't really know what pitch we would've thrown different in that situation,” Odorizzi said of the Cruz home run. “It was a well-executed pitch. He had a phenomenal swing on it. For a big guy to pull his hands in like that, it's pretty incredible. So, hats off to him. You just move forward and not really think about it too much.”
YOUNG BUCS
Cruz’s homer was the 42nd hit by a Pirates rookie this season, a franchise record. His 10, along with Jack Suwinski’s 14 and Diego Castillo’s 10, give Pittsburgh three rookies with at least 10 home runs in a season for the first time in its history. … Contreras is the first Pirates rookie to go at least seven innings since April 29, 2018, when Nick Kingham tossed seven shutout innings against St. Louis.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves: INF Ehire Adrianza (illness) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. INF Ryan Goins was designated for assignment to make room on the active roster.
Pirates: 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes (back spasms) could return from the 10-day IL on Tuesday.
UP NEXT
LHP Max Fried (11-4, 2.60 ERA) will go for the Braves in the second of the three-game series against the Pirates, opposite RHP JT Brubaker (3-10, 4.19) on Tuesday. Fried has allowed fewer than four earned runs in 10 straight starts. Brubaker is coming off of his best outing of the season, allowing two hits in seven shutout innings in an 8-2 win over Boston on Aug. 18.

When Jeremy Rockliff calls curtains on his political career, he is all but certain to number among his greatest regrets his failure to change Tasmania's school starting age.
On the weekend, the long-serving Braddon MP gave his first speech as Premier to the Liberal Party faithful.
Advertisement
Early learning was high on the agenda, with Mr Rockliff committing his government to doing more for Tasmanian children.
"Our government wants Tasmania to be able to provide universal access to pre-school, in the year before kindergarten, for every child, to help set them up for a great start in life and learning," he said.
The Working Together initiative delivers pre-school at early childhood education and care - childcare - services.
Mr Rockliff announced it will be expanded to Child and Family Learning Centres and, where neither is available, potentially to local schools and libraries.
It's a policy that can only be welcomed; meaning that more children will have the opportunity to kickstart their learning.
Yet it's also a policy that is evocative of one of this government's most regrettable acts of cowardice in the face of opposition.
When the Liberals came to power in 2014, Mr Rockliff took on the education portfolio.
While he inherited a swag of policies, he set about making his own mark, with a review ordered into the Education Act.
Out of that came a proposal to lower the compulsory minimum starting age for prep by six months to four years and six months.
That would have meant many children could have started kindergarten, which is optional, a year earlier, at a minimum age of three years and six months.
In hindsight, the backlash was as predictable as the, colloquially speaking, backflip.
Vested interests in the form of childcare businesses worried about losing fee-paying kids to free education and the union that represents their workers came to the fore.
Then there were those unable or unwilling to see the bigger picture; that this was about engaging our most disadvantaged children in learning earlier.
Even in raising the white flag, a sincere Mr Rockliff was arguing the merits of change: "It's simply not good enough that some Tasmanian children have up to two years less education than other states, and no doubt part of the reason why our education results are not as good as they could be."
The policies he is pursuing today are aimed at achieving the same ends.
Still, a lower school starting age remains a missed opportunity we all should regret.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tom Brady returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, ending what has been described as an 11-day, prearranged break from training camp for personal reasons.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion didn’t address the media after practicing. Teammates and coach Todd Bowles said the 45-year-old quarterback was sharp throwing the ball and essentially took up where he left off when he left the team on Aug. 11.
“If anybody can get away with the 11-day break during training camp, it’s Tom,” tight end Cameron Brate said. “He came back, kind of firing on all cylinders again. We’re all excited he’s back and ready to move on.”
While he was away, Brady missed two preseason games that Bowles said the quarterback would not have played in even if he were with the team.
The coach said the break had been planned since well before the start of training camp last month.
“His presence is different, just the leader he is, the type of guy he is,” linebacker Lavonte David said. “It’s great to have a guy like that back. He came back ready to take off where he left off.”
In Brady’s absence, backup Blaine Gabbert and third-stringer Kyle Trask shared most of the snaps in practice and during preseason losses to the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts. Bowles said it has not been determined if — or how much — Brady might play in Saturday night’s preseason finale at Indianapolis.
The quarterback’s return comes as the Bucs continue to deal with injuries to an offensive line facing the prospect of entering the Sept. 11 season opener with at least two new starters. Center Ryan Jensen was lost to a knee injury on the second day of camp and left guard Aaron Stinnie suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Titans last weekend.
Bowles said the biggest thing Brady missed during his time away was some conditioning.
“He’s very familiar with the offense. So him coming back in, and us getting back to work, is kind of normal,” the coach said.
“Any time you have all your guys back, you feel good,” Bowles added. “Especially after the injury bug we’ve had lately, we’re glad to have him back.”
Stinnie, who was competing for the opening on the offensive line created by the surprise retirement of Ali Marpet, and linebacker Cam Gill (foot) were placed on injured reserve Monday.
Second-year pro Robert Hainsey is the leading option to open the season at center.
With Stinnie out, rookie Luke Goedeke and second-year pro Nick Leverett will compete for the left guard job, although there’s still a possibility the team could try to find outside help.
“We like our in-home options, but there has got to be a player available for us to like to add a player,” Bowles said. “We’re not just going to sign one to sign one.”

SHANGHAI, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pylontech (688063), a dedicated battery storage system (BSS) provider listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR MARKET (SSE), was added to the MSCI China A Onshore Index on August 11, 2022. And beyond that, Pylontech has also been included in MSCI China All Shares Index.
MSCI, as a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community, announced the changes in its August 2022 Quarterly Index Review for the MSCI Equity Indexes. In this review, MSCI China A Onshore Index made seven additions with Pylontech named as one of the three largest. This inclusion is testimony to Pylontech's promising growth.
As the first BESS-focused company listed on the SSE, Pylontech's comprehensive strategy layout, high market share, and strong branding, has gained it a top 2 ranking among global residential BESS suppliers by IHS Research and is ranked among Forbes China 50 Most Innovative Companies. The addition of Pylontech to MSCI index is proof of Pylontech's representative role in the energy storage industry and recognition of its comprehensive strength, competitiveness, industry position, stock circulation, among others. It also means Pylontech will embrace more opportunities and attract attention with its investment value and development potential from global investors.
"Pylontech is proud to be a MSCI index company and grateful for the recognition of the capital market. We are committed to create more value for shareholders, customers and other stakeholders with our leading energy storage technology and reliable products and services. And we will grasp this chance and create more economical value to our shareholders benefiting from the rapid development of renewable energy. We have to do more to achieve net-zero carbon emissions" said Geoffrey Song, vice president of Pylontech.
Under the backdrop of the global energy crisis and energy transition, clean energy will gradually replace traditional fossil energy. Energy storage will be the key technology to promote the replacement of main energy from fossil energy to renewable energy.
BloombergNEF reckons that the entire global energy storage market will reach up to 58GW/178GWh in 2030, five times more than the recording capacity installed in 2021 (10GW/22GWh). There are huge opportunities for energy storage over the next decade, spurring the transition to more sustainable energy. The rapid growth of global energy storage is boosted with the support of different national policies, the favor of capital, and a clear and sustainable business model. As an important support for the new energy system, energy storage will become a value investment orientation.
All changes in the MSCI review will be implemented as of the close of August 31, 2022.

As expected, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday vetoed a bill that might have saved thousands of lives in California. His rejection of a harm reduction measure to reduce drug overdose deaths drew applause from Republicans, and the veto allows him to keep his name off of a controversial policy as he builds his national profile.
The right wing praise will soon turn to condemnation, however. That’s because — in the absence of any other solutions — Newsom’s veto saddles him with responsibility for the many California deaths that might have been prevented with Senate Bill 57.
SB 57, by state Sen. Scott Wiener, would have authorized Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco to open safe consumption sites to help prevent overdose deaths and move open-air drug use off of the streets. Such facilities, also known as overdose prevention sites, have saved lives in other places.
A facility in New York City is credited with reversing hundreds of overdoses since opening last year. It even has the support of Mayor Eric Adams, a former police officer who ran as a tough on crime candidate and says, “Overdose prevention centers keep neighborhoods and people struggling with substance use safe.”
Contrast this clear statement with the tortured verbiage of Gov. Newsom, a supposed supporter of cutting edge harm reduction strategies.
“It is possible that these sites would help improve the safety and health of our urban areas, but if done without a strong plan, they could work against this purpose,” wrote Newsom in his veto message, which also announced the formation of a new statewide panel to study the issue. “These unintended consequences ... cannot be taken lightly. Worsening drug consumption challenges in these areas is not a risk we can take.”
In case Newsom hasn’t noticed, the worsening scenes of unchecked open-air addiction in major California cities have already created a deadly risk. Over 1,600 people have overdosed in San Francisco over the past two years. California seems unable to do anything to stem the tide of deaths wrought by the rise of fentanyl, a deadly and powerful synthetic opioid.
After Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill to allow a safe consumption pilot clinic in San Francisco in 2018, then-Lt. Gov. Newsom expressed support for the harm reduction concept. Newsom told the San Francisco Chronicle he was “very, very open” to a facility and “would consider one if elected governor.”
“Speaking at a campaign stop in San Francisco’s Mission District, the Democratic lieutenant governor said he hasn’t ‘read the details of the legislation’ that Brown vetoed Sunday,” wrote Joe Garofoli in 2018. “But he said he has spoken with San Francisco Mayor London Breed ‘on multiple occasions’ about a pilot program that would allow drug users to shoot up in a city-sanctioned center under supervision.”
“I’m very open to that. I’d like to learn more about why the governor vetoed it in terms of making what I believe is a legal argument — so I’d like to research that,” Newsom said.
In his veto message, Newsom trotted out the same line. He called for yet more research on safe consumption sites, even though there is already plenty of research proving that such facilities have saved lives — and even led people into rehabilitation — in other places.
How much more damn research do we need?
Of course, the issue is not a lack of research as much as it is Newsom’s need to punt on a tricky political issue despite running for governor as a candidate with “courage for a change.”
“We don’t need additional studies or working groups to determine whether safe consumption sites are effective,” said Sen. Wiener, the bill’s author. “We know from decades of experience and numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies that they work. Safe consumption sites have been in operation around the world for approximately 30 years, with great success and literally zero overdose deaths.”
Mayor London Breed, a longtime proponent of safe consumption sites, expressed disappointment in Newsom’s decision but indicated San Francisco might press ahead despite the veto.
“Overdose prevention programs save lives and help connect people to treatment and services," she wrote on Twitter. “We will keep working with our community partners to find a way forward, and we will also continue to advocate to the federal government about this critical public health response. We’ve got work to do, but we aren’t stopping.”
City Attorney David Chiu said the city could move forward with a site operated by a nonprofit, as NYC has done.
“To save lives, I fully support a nonprofit moving forward now with New York’s model of overdose prevention programs,” Chiu said in the statement.
Last year, Breed authorized the opening of a facility near United Nations Plaza that unofficially allows supervised drug consumption. It immediately came under attack from harm reduction opponents and will close at the end of the year.
Newsom’s veto earned him rare praise from California Republicans, a sensation the governor will surely relish as he positions himself as a future presidential candidate. Far right outlets like Breitbart and the Daily Mail demonized SB 57, while papers like the Los Angeles Times and Chronicle endorsed it.
But when the buzz clears, the right wing attack dogs will return to highlighting California’s open-air drug overdose crisis, which they regularly depict as a direct consequence of Democratic governance. And as Newsom’s political profile rises, he will increasingly become the poster child for his state’s unchecked crisis of misery and death.
So let’s hope the governor’s new panel of experts is quick to learn what all of the other harm reduction advocates already know: Safe consumption sites save lives. Because while Newsom’s new Blue Ribbon Panel ponders the particulars of overdose prevention, thousands of human beings will be turning blue as they slowly suffocate from opioid overdoses on California’s streets. | https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/veto-of-safe-consumption-bill-means-gavin-newsom-owns-california-s-overdose-crisis/article_11710d36-227e-11ed-9c13-634783b5941d.html | 2022-08-23T04:25:00Z | https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/veto-of-safe-consumption-bill-means-gavin-newsom-owns-california-s-overdose-crisis/article_11710d36-227e-11ed-9c13-634783b5941d.html | false |

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS), the largest retina specialty organization in the world joins Safe Eyes America in strong opposition to AB 2236, legislation now under consideration in the California Senate.
AB 2236 dangerously reduces the medical education, clinical, and surgical training requirements to become licensed in California to perform eye surgery. If AB 2236 were to be enacted, an individual would no longer be required to complete medical school and the required surgical training to become licensed to perform eye surgery. ASRS and Safe Eyes America point out that such a large reduction in surgical licensing requirements is detrimental to patient surgical outcomes and safety.
Retina specialists are ophthalmologists (physicians who complete 4 years of medical school followed by 4 years of training in eye diseases and surgery) with an additional 2 years specializing in treatment of the retina (the delicate structure in the deepest part of the eye that converts light into nerve signals necessary for vision). As a part of their training, all retina specialists are trained to perform all of the surgical procedures included in AB 2236. That knowledge of eye surgery, its risks, what it involves, and the consequences to the patient are the basis of the ASRS position opposing AB 2236
Kurt Heitman, MD, Safe Eyes America Board member says: "Every surgical procedure performed on the eye or eyelids requires education, training and experience to make the correct diagnosis, to make a decision on the best treatment be it surgery or not, and to develop the ability to perform the procedure. These are skills developed over years and shortcuts are just not safe for patients. A mistake anywhere along the path to surgery could have vision or even life-threatening consequences for the patient."
Any day now, the California Senate will vote on AB 2236. Jeanette Moffa, a concerned patient and Safe Eyes America Board member said, "We're proud to have ASRS, America's retina specialists, join us in educating patients about the dangerous changes to the law present in AB 2236. Lowering the licensing requirements to allow non-medical physicians (optometrists) to perform surgery is not safe. Californians need to know this."
The California state Senate could take final action on AB 2236 any day now. It simply isn't safe. Please contact your California state Senator NOW and urge them to Vote NO on AB 2236.

Safe Eyes America is a 501(c) 4 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the delivery of the highest quality medical and surgical eye care to the American public. SafeEyesAmerica.org.

Daniel Anello is the CEO of Kids For Chicago.
"At least in Illinois, I know many other states, less kids means less resources coming to your district," said Anello.
Enrollment is down for public elementary schools. An analysis of last year's enrollment by AP and Chalkbeat found one in three Chicago schools now have fewer than 300 students. LA, New York and Boston are seeing similar trends in empty desks.
Shrinking enrollment may force some districts in places like Denver, Indianapolis, and Kansas City, Missouri to close schools entirely. The Dickinson family in Wheaton, Illinois says they were hesitant to pull their daughter out of school.
"The idea of taking Caroline out of school was frightening, but the idea of keeping her in the school, the way it was going with the just lack of, what's the wording — the lack of communication, consistency, the way it was run, it was just like months wasted," said Sarah Dickinson.
They started homeschooling when the pandemic hit; now they want to stick with it.
"It's been consistent, it's been rigorous, she's excelled and we couldn't be happier," said Dorian Dickinson.
While the pandemic may have contributed to the decline in traditional public school enrollment, there's more to this story.
"COVID has had an impact in some places, but those are those are micro impacts compared to the fact that we just as a country have a lot less babies that are growing up to be students," said Anello.
Kids First Chicago has studied the schools' slowdown. They say, particularly in Chicago, enrollment declines are driven by the slowing growth of Latino families and a steady exodus of Black families out of the city.
Another contributing factor is that kids just aren't showing up, because of quarantines or other causes. 50% of students in LA were considered chronically absent.
Hedy Chang is the executive director of Attendance Works.
"Chronic absenteeism has at least doubled nationwide. In some places, it's increased even higher because there's a lot of local variation," said Chang.
Chang says they define chronic absenteeism as missing 10% of school. Now they're seeing students miss as much as 50% or more of school.
"If you're looking at signs, you start to see it happening. And chronic absence is an early warning sign that kids might not re-enroll the following year," said Chang.
Like so many, Chang is looking for a solution.
"To keep kids in school, to keep kids staying connected, you really need to take what we call a tiered support that invests in prevention," she said.
Experts say growth is possible when families see schools as a place of community beyond the school day: A resource not just for education, but also for food and healthcare.

Dublin, March 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "In-vehicle Payment Services Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Mode Of Payment (NFC, QR Code/RFID, App/e-Wallet, Credit/Debit Card), by Application, by Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2022-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global in-vehicle payment services market size is expected to reach USD 14.43 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 13.2% from 2022 to 2030
The aggressive spending by automakers on enabling drivers to make payments and authenticate transactions from the vehicle itself coupled with the rising levels of disposable income, especially in the developed economies, and the growing preference for contactless payments are expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Busy schedules are prompting drivers to look forward to hassle-free experiences as part of an upgraded lifestyle. At this juncture, the ability to shop, order, and pay on the go without performing any cash transactions for swiping credit/debit cards would allow commuters to save time and ensure a convenient commute.
In-vehicle payment services offer drivers and passengers the convenience of making payments through various payment modes from the vehicle itself. The demand for In-vehicle payment services is expected to increase over the forecast period in line with the proliferation of connected cars and the growing preference for advanced infotainment.

Payment service providers, such as MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal, are also striking strategic partnerships and collaborations with automotive OEMs to deliver efficient in-vehicle payment platforms.
The preference for contactless payments is growing in the wake of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the majority of the parking systems, gas stations, and toll collection booths have already incorporated mobile payment technology. The popularity of e-wallets is rising owing to the convenience and ease of payment e-wallets can offer.
Digital wallet and online payment platforms, such as Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Apple Pay, are also getting immensely popular and their adoption is expected to increase significantly over the forecast period.

Hence, the market for in-vehicle payment services is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A Little Rock doctor helped save an overdosing passenger on a flight that resulted in change for a major airline.
It all started on a flight in 2020 to Miami for Dr. Jill Flaxman, who is based out of Little Rock at Natural State Pain and Wellness.
“I knew something very bad was going on, but I didn’t know what,” Dr. Flaxman said.
She and her husband were going on a vacation when she found out a passenger was overdosing.
Dr. Flaxman said she realized there was no medical equipment on the plane except an IV kit and a flashlight on her phone.
“We had nothing to attempt to reverse a valium or opioids,” she said. “We were not even able to check her blood pressure.”
She stabilized the passenger for three hours until the plane landed. The passenger is okay now, and she confirmed to Dr. Flaxman she had taken opioids prior to the flight.
Still, Dr. Flaxman and her husband noticed the need for Narcan on flights to reverse potential overdoses in passengers.
So, Dr. Flaxman’s husband wrote an email to Delta Airlines.
“He said, ‘You know, it’d really be best if y’all had Narcan on board,’” she said.
A spokesperson responded to the email, thanking Dr. Flaxman for her assistance, and informing the couple the airlines would begin keeping Narcan on flights in the future to save lives.
I reached out to Delta Airlines for comment on adding more medical equipment to flights, including Narcan.
“A medical emergency in flight can be an intense experience for everyone involved. That’s why Delta’s Wellbeing team is making it easier for our flight attendants, onboard medical volunteers, and partners at STAT MD to quickly assess a situation and determine next steps. Part of that effort includes adding medical-grade diagnostic tools to our onboard medical kits this summer, including automated blood pressure cuffs, medical-grade stethoscopes and pulse oximeters. This is just the start, because as medical technologies advance, we can, too.”
Dr. Flaxman said in her clinic, she tries to find other routes for pain than prescribing opioids. But when she does, she is quick to encourage patients to also get a Narcan prescription for the worst-case scenarios.
“You might not need it, but what if someone gets your pills, and you find them and all you need to do is squirt some Narcan into their nose?” she asked. “It would save their life.” | https://www.kark.com/lifestyle/health-matters/little-rock-doctor-promotes-change-for-potential-overdoses-on-flights/ | 2022-08-23T04:47:52Z | https://www.kark.com/lifestyle/health-matters/little-rock-doctor-promotes-change-for-potential-overdoses-on-flights/ | true |
Flinders Ranges up for World Heritage List
South Australia's iconic and fossil-rich Flinders Ranges is one step closer to being declared one of Australia's natural wonders on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The area has been nominated for a tentative listing as a World Heritage site, on behalf of the South Australian government and the area's traditional owners, the Adnyamathanha people.
Home to significant fossil deposits, the region was dubbed "one great outdoor museum" by 20th-Century explorer and geologist Douglas Mawson.
"More than 600 million years old, the Flinders Ranges is one of Australia's magnificent landscapes," said state environment minister Susan Close.
"The fossils and geology of the region are particularly fascinating, displaying the history of our planet and the evolution of life on Earth.
"Some of this critical evidence includes the world's finest example of the Ediacaran explosion of life when the earliest forms of complex multicellular animal life evolved."
The geological and palaeontological forms within the Flinders Ranges make it an important site to pursue World Heritage status, the minister said.
Lead authors of the heritage bid have toured several key sites to assess the scientific values of sites including along the Brachina Geological Trail and in Nilpena Ediacara National Park.
The group includes internationally renowned professor and paleontologist Professor Mary Droser from the University of Southern California.
"There are places that have parts of the story, and there are places with phenomenal fossils, but the Flinders has this complete packaging that is really accessible. We can go back in time and see how life unfolded. The record is unparalleled," Prof Droser told the BBC.
As part of the heritage process, the bid team met with the locals from the ex-copper mining town of Blinman, some 425 kilometres north of Adelaide, to discuss the potential heritage listing.
The group also plans to tour Arkaroola and Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park next month.
The assessment process is expected to take at least another two years before the Flinders Ranges could be added to the World Heritage List in 2025 at the earliest.
Upgrades to visitor facilities along the Brachina Geological Trail are already underway.
World Heritage listing is coordinated by UNESCO through the World Heritage Centre, with independent evaluations and recommendations to the World Heritage Committee about whether a nomination should be included. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11131249/Flinders-Ranges-World-Heritage-List.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-23T04:56:29Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11131249/Flinders-Ranges-World-Heritage-List.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
