SEATTLE (AP) — Mariners right-hander George Kirby set a major league record by throwing 24 straight strikes to start the game and fellow Seattle rookie Julio Rodriguez reached a new level, but Ildemaro Vargas hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning that lifted the Washington Nationals to a 3-1 win Wednesday.
Kirby gave up five hits and one run before throwing his first ball to Joey Meneses in the third. Kirby topped the mark of 21 consecutive strikes to open by Joe Musgrove for Pittsburgh against St. Louis in 2018.
“I looked up at 15 or 16, and I was like ‘Oh, man,’” Kirby said.
Rodriguez hit his 20th home run, tying it at 1 in the eighth. The 21-year-old sensation who put on quite a show at the All-Star Home Run Derby became the fourth rookie in big league history with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in the same season, joining Mitchell Page (1977 Athletics), Ellis Burks (1987 Red Sox) and Marty Cordova (1995 Twins).
“I’m happy about it,” Rodriguez said. “Not a lot of people do it all the time.”
Rodriguez leads all rookies in home runs and has stolen 23 bases.
The teams split its brief two-game series, with Seattle winning three of four this year after sweeping Washington in a doubleheader July 13. The Mariners hold the third and final spot in the AL wild-card race while the Nationals have the worst record in the majors.
Vargas homered with two outs off Paul Sewald (3-4), who had not given up an earned run since July 26. It was his third homer of the year, two of them for Washington after he began the year with the Chicago Cubs.
“Super excited in that moment,” Vargas said through a translator. “Anything I can do to help the team win. I’m here to do the little things and take advantage of the opportunities.”
Kyle Finnegan (5-2) allowed a couple of baserunners in the ninth before retiring Cal Raleigh on a flyout.
Nationals starter Anibal Sánchez allowed no runs and two hits in 4 1/3 innings. In his last two outings, the 38-year-old has given up one earned run and three hits in 9 1/3 innings.
“The one thing I could say about Aníbal right now is he keeps us in the ball game,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said.
Kirby struck out nine in seven innings, giving up eight hits without a walk.
Nelson Cruz hit an RBI single in the first.
STREAK CONTINUES
Washington has gone 41 straight games without its starter being the winning pitcher. It’s the longest drought in major league history. Despite the unfortunate streak, Sánchez’s last three outings resulted in wins for the Nationals.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: LF Sam Haggerty is dealing with an isolated deltoid strain but is progressing, manager Scott Servais said. Haggerty is expected to be ready Thursday against Cleveland. He’s available off the bench if needed.
UP NEXT
Nationals: Top pitching prospect RHP Cade Cavalli will make his major league debut at home vs. Cincinnati on Friday. In his last outing with Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 20, he pitched five innings, allowing one run and striking out eight. He’s 6-4 with a 3.71 ERA in 20 games this season with Washington’s top affiliate. Cavalli was selected 22nd overall in the first round of the 2020 MLB draft by the Nationals.
Mariners: LHP Marco Gonzales (8-12, 4.08) looks to carry momentum into Thursday’s home game against Cleveland. He gave up one run in Seattle’s 10-2 win over Oakland last week.

You probably know that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation has always been a prominent component of CPR. However, in recent years, experts have changed the process to emphasize the highest-priority method -- chest compressions -- and to make layperson-conducted CPR more effective.
The steps for performing CPR used to follow the acronym "A-B-C" -- airway, breathing and circulation. But as we discussed earlier, CPR should now be performed C-A-B -- circulation, airway and breathing. The American Heart Association introduced this new approach in 2010 as a way to make chest compressions the priority of CPR.
If you take classes to learn advanced CPR methods, you'll be trained to provide airway and breathing support to a victim. If you are untrained, however, you should focus only on the circulation step.
For this method, known as hands-only CPR, you essentially become a surrogate heart to pump oxygenated blood to the rest of the victim's body. How can you have any effect on blood flow from outside of the body? All it takes is your hands and some strength. The steps are simple and include the following:
- While kneeling near the victim's neck and shoulders, place the heel of your hands one atop the other in the center of the person's chest (midway between the nipples). Keep your elbows straight and your shoulders positioned over the same area as your hands.
- Using the weight of your upper body (rather than just your arms), push the chest down. You should try to compress his or her chest 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 cm).
- Push hard, and aim to complete at least 100 (or more) compressions per minute. To keep the appropriate speed and pace, try the mnemonic technique of singing "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees and match the chest compressions to the pace of the song. This particular disco classic has 103 beats per minutes and can stay in your head easily as you perform CPR [source: Fox News].
- If your victim is a baby, use two fingers rather than two hands to compress the middle of the chest, and be less aggressive with your compressions -- about 1.5 inches (4 cm) deep. Still try to complete at least 100 in one a minute, just as you would with an adult [source: Mayo Clinic].
In reality, all you are doing is squeezing the heart between the breastbone and the backbone to force blood out. Compressing the chest creates positive pressure inside the chest that pushes oxygenated blood out of the heart through the aorta. From here, it travels to the brain and then on to other parts of the body, delivering oxygen for cellular respiration.
It may sound easy enough in theory, but when someone collapses in front of you, your first reactions can be confusion and terror. But while you're panicked and unable to act, valuable minutes are slipping away. To counter this, many organizations, such as the American Red Cross, offer classes that give you hands-on practice to hone your CPR skills. There are even online sites, like HandsOnlyCPR.org, that simulate the compression-only method online and help you learn the speed and rhythm at which you need to perform it.

These tests are done every time you visit your obstetrician and include:
- blood pressure
- urine glucose
- urine protein
- fetal heartbeat - beginning when the baby's heart is developed enough to to be heard
Blood Pressure
The increased blood volume and fetal blood circulation that occurs in pregnancy increases the demands on your cardiovascular system, especially your heart. So, your blood pressure will be measured regularly to detect any signs of high blood pressure or pregnancy-induced hypertension. About five percent of pregnant women experience pregnancy-induced hypertension starting about the 20th week of pregnancy. This condition can can lead to the following complications:
- Pre-term labor
- Separation of the placenta, leading to bleeding
- Reduced kidney function or failure
- Reduced blood flow to the baby, which can retard its growth and development
Pregnancy-induced hypertension, along with swelling (edema) and protein in the urine (albuminuria), comprise a condition known as preeclampsia. The cause of pre-eclampsia is unknown and the treatment is premature delivery of the baby, if possible. Sometimes, high doses of magnesium sulfate can be given to delay the symptoms until the baby can be delivered safely; no one knows why this treatment can work.
Your blood pressure will be measured with a blood pressure gauge or sphygmomanometer (read this question about blood pressure gauges for more details).
Urine Glucose
During each doctor's visit, you will be asked to pass a test strip through your urine stream or collect a sample of urine, which will be tested with a strip that measures the amount of glucose in your urine. The presence of glucose in the urine is an indication of gestational diabetes, a form of diabetes that usually develops around the 20th week of pregnancy. Gestational diabetes causes the following complications:
- The baby grows larger than normal and develops more fat. Large babies are difficult to deliver.
- The baby's pancreas must secrete large amounts of insulin to get rid of the excess sugar coming from the mother. After birth, when the baby is no longer receiving these high amounts of sugar from the mother, the high insulin levels can cause the baby's blood sugar to fall dangerously low (i.e., hypoglycemia).
- Some babies from mothers with gestational diabetes have trouble breathing when they are delivered (i.e., respiratory distress).
Gestational diabetes can be treated usually by monitoring the mother's diet. However, sometimes the mother must take insulin to control her blood glucose levels. Gestational diabetes in the mother usually goes away once the baby has been delivered.
The test strip contains two enzymes (glucose oxidase and peroxidase), a chemical (orthotolidine) and a yellow dye impregnated in the paper. The reactions go like this:
- Glucose oxidase converts glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
- Peroxidase reacts the hydrogen peroxidase with orthotolidine to produce a blue color.
- The yellow dye spreads the color change out over a wider range in proportion to the amount of glucose present.
If no glucose is present, then the test strip remains yellow. If glucose is present, then the color can vary from light green to dark blue, depending upon the concentration of glucose in the urine.
Urine Protein
The presence of protein in the urine indicates a problem in kidney function and is one of the symptoms of pre-eclampsia, as mentioned above. To detect protein in the urine, the test strip has a pH buffer (citrate buffer) and a color indicator (bromphnol blue) impregnated in the paper. At the normal pH of the paper, most of the indicator is not ionized. Proteins can bind to the nonionized form and release hydrogen ions, which changes the pH and the color of the paper. If protein is present, then the color of the paper will change from yellow to green or blue, depending upon the concentration of protein.
Fetal Heartbeat
One of the more emotional times in an early pregnancy may be the first time you hear the baby's heartbeat. The baby's heartbeat can be seen in a Doppler ultrasound as early as five to six weeks of development. By 12 to 13 weeks, your doctor can hear the heartbeat using a specialized ultrasound stethoscope or Doppler stethoscope. The Doppler stethoscope works like a regular ultrasound machine except that it does not give an image. Instead, the echoes are counted and the count is displayed on a LCD readout. If the stethoscope has a speaker, you can hear the baby's amplified heart beat. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/pregnancy-and-parenting/pregnancy/issues/prenatal-testing.htm | 2022-08-25T22:10:02Z | https://health.howstuffworks.com/pregnancy-and-parenting/pregnancy/issues/prenatal-testing.htm | true |
DETROIT (AP) — California will require all new cars, trucks and SUVs sold in the state to run on electricity or hydrogen by 2035 in an ambitious move away from gasoline-powered vehicles and the pollution they emit.
The requirements come in phases starting in 2026, and it will take 13 years for them become fully effective. But there are many challenges to meeting them.
EVs now cost substantially more than gas-powered vehicles. There are shortages of precious metals needed for their batteries. The U.S. has little battery manufacturing capacity.
But a lot can change in 13 years. Here's what we know about the problem areas and what's being done about them:
___
WILL AUTOMAKERS BE ABLE TO MAKE ENOUGH ELECTRIC VEHICLES?
More than likely. During the first half of this year, electric vehicle sales accounted for about 15% of California's new vehicle market. New vehicle sales in the state normally run around 2 million per year. That's roughly a 1.5 million difference that has to be made up by 2035. But almost every day, automakers are announcing new EV models, battery factories and assembly plants. Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Hyundai-Kia, Stellantis and VinFast have announced plans for 10 U.S. battery plants.
“New plants are coming in and old plants are being converted," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. “The plans are in place for a large amount of vehicles being ready for the U.S. and global markets.”
The big ifs, though, are whether there will be enough precious metals, such as lithium, to make the batteries, and whether EV prices will come down quickly enough. Laurie Holmes, senior manager of government affairs for Kia, told California officials Thursday that the industry could have difficulty meeting sales targets. She urged the state to support incentives for consumers to buy EVs and to help build out a charging system.
___
CAN THE ELECTRIC GRID HANDLE THE LOAD?
The California Energy Commission expects electric vehicles to add only a small amount of power use in the next 10 years. The commission estimates that 3.7 million light-duty electric vehicles will be in use in the state in 2030, and they will account for only about 2.6% of electricity use during peak hours. David Reichmuth, a senior engineer for the Union of Concerned Scientists, said EV charging can be timed to off-peak hours, especially during the day when wind and solar power are more available. Utilities will be able to send messages to cars to start or stop charging depending on electricity demand, he said.
___
WON'T ELECTRIC VEHICLES BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR MANY PEOPLE?
That's possible, although prices are coming down, and they are expected to get lower as costs are spread out among more vehicles and new battery chemistries are developed that don't use many expensive precious metals. Currently most U.S. EVs are targeted at higher-income luxury or pickup-truck buyers and start at $40,000 or more, beyond the reach of many. But prices are starting to come down. For instance, General Motors says it will offer a small Chevrolet SUV with a starting price tag of around $30,000 that's expected to get close to 300 miles (500 kilometers) per charge. The federal government next year will offer $7,500 tax credits for EVs made in North America, bringing purchase prices down. And California is offering cash, rebates and special financing for low-income buyers. Also, EV buyers will save on fuel and maintenance costs.
___
DO EVS REALLY POLLUTE LESS, GIVEN MANUFACTURING AND MINING OF METALS FOR BATTERIES?
Multiple studies, including some by the Massachussets Institute of Technology, say yes. While there is pollution from mining, EVs are so much cleaner than gas vehicles on the road that it only takes a short time for them to make up for the mining. A study released this summer by the Union of Concerned Scientists looked at lifetime emissions, including the manufacturing process.
“Altogether, the lifetime emissions for an electric car or and electric pickup are less than half that of a gasoline vehicle,” Reichmuth said. The gap between gas and electric will grow as more electricity comes from renewable sources such as wind and solar, he said.
“There’s nothing that we’re going to do when it comes to aggressively promoting electrification that will be worse for the planet than burning fossil fuels,” said Margo Oge, chair of the International Council for Clean Transportation and a former top U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official.
___
WILL OTHER STATES FOLLOW CALIFORNIA?
Currently 17 other states have adopted California's greenhouse gas emissions requirements, most on the coasts. In total they account for about 40% of all U.S. new vehicle sales. The state of Washington has already started the process to follow the EV sales requirements, and others are expected to. It will take the other states longer to go through the process, and many don't have the electric vehicle demand or charging infrastructure that California does.

A Peterborough man faces assault and stalking charges, after his wife told police he attacked her late Wednesday night and threatened to use a gun against police if they caught him.
Daniel Laguerre, 35, was taken into custody Thursday morning and charged with second-degree assault and criminal restraint, both felonies, as well as stalking, two counts of domestic violence simple assault, and breach of bail conditions, according to a news release from Peterborough police.
Police got a call shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday from a 43-year-old woman, who told them that she had just been assaulted by her husband and that he was armed with a handgun and had threatened to use it on police. The woman was calling from a Nashua hotel, where Nashua police and EMS personnel made contact with her, the news release said
Due to the nature of the assault and the threat against police, Peterborough police asked for assistance from other area law enforcement agencies. Thursday morning, police went to a Hunt Road home where, “after a short dialogue with the suspect,” officers took him into custody, the news release said.
No shots were fired and no officers were injured, police said. The victim is being treated at a hospital.
Local roads, including Hunt Road, Kemp Road and a section of Currier Avenue, were closed for about a half-hour while police handled the incident.
Laguerre was being held at Valley Street Jail on preventative detention pending arraignment on Friday in Hillsborough County Superior Court.

New Spectrum Labs in Exeter Township combines the power of nature’s gifts with modern safety and science.
New Spectrum’s chief scientist Gary Black Sr., Ph.D., has developed natural wellness formulations to improve quality of life and deliver a natural treatment alternative.
NSL explained that its formulations bring natural ingredients together to create a synergistic product to add nutrients and assist the human body.
Its state-of-the-art facility is recognized by the FDA to ensure safety and quality in every product.
Topical Joint and Muscle Pain Relief Balm delivers soothing relief with a natural formula of 15 different botanical oils from around the world, including full spectrum hemp/CBD extract, made locally.
Black originally created this product to help war veterans experiencing phantom limb syndrome. Since then, it has proven to assist in pain management around joint stiffness, muscle strain, inflammation, arthritic pain and more.
“I have chronic back issues, L1-L5, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, plantar fasciitis and a touch of arthritis,” one customer said of the balm. “Without this ointment, I stop functioning! It’s the first thing I use in the morning and last at night. This isn’t the first balm I’ve tried, but it might be the last.”
NSL also produces Hemp CBD Oil Tinctures that deliver a range of benefits from mental health support to pain relief.
While many of us have heard about the cure-all potential of CBD, New Spectrum has created a product with which you can really feel the difference. The effectiveness of its product derives from its enhanced absorption technology.
With its added ingredient, BioFulmate, NSL has achieved more than three times the absorption of cannabinoids and phytonutrients found in the hemp oil.
“Eight years ago I started experiencing pain in my tailbone,” a customer said. “Dozens of visits to a variety of doctors led to a diagnosis that my nerve damage cannot be cured. To help manage the situation, I was prescribed four different medicines that help mask the pain.
“Even then, it was always there to some degree. Since taking the MAX 3000 in the morning and night. I find myself feeling better than I have in years. In fact, there are times when I am pain free. A great tool to help me live a better life.”
“We now have the technology to reduce suffering by using elements of nature that have been in the making for millions of years, and are widely recognized for their miraculous healing and health benefits,” Black said.

Your Honor, Kim Kardashian is guilty of totally killing this legal quiz.
The SKIMS founder and Hillary Clinton went head-to-head in a quiz on legal matters -- and Kardashian took home the win.
As seen in footage obtained by People and shared on Aug. 23, Clinton and Kardashian sat across from one another while Clinton's daughter Chelsea Clinton asked both of them questions referring to law.
During the game, which was filmed as part of Hillary and Chelsea's upcoming Apple+ TV series "Gutsy," Kardashian and Hillary Clinton would try to press their individual buzzer first to answer the question. Bottom line: Kardashian won the game after hitting her buzzer and answering correctly 11 times.
Reflecting on her mom's performance, Chelsea Clinton noted, "I think it's also she just needs to work on her reaction time. Sometimes, I could see that my mom knew what the answer was but she just wouldn't hit the buzzer in time."
Kim Kardashian Steps Out With Hillary and Chelsea Clinton
While Hillary teased that it was "heartbreaking" to lose, the Yale Law School alum showed perfect sportsmanship.
Entertainment News
"I was also really intrigued by how well she did," Hillary explained. "I wanted to put the spotlight on her -- not that she needs it, but she worked really hard."
Back in 2018, Kardashian registered with the California State Bar to study law. Throughout her multi-year process, she has been open about her journey to becoming a lawyer and, in December 2021, the 41-year-old announced that she had passed the Baby Bar exam after her fourth attempt.
"For anyone who doesn't know my law school journey, know this wasn't easy or handed to me," she wrote in a Dec. 13 Instagram post. "I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!!"

FURNAS COUNTY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in Nebraska are trying to determine who released 16 million gallons of water by opening a dam on an irrigation channel one night this month — and why.
The puzzling water release from the Cambridge Canal reduced the flow to some 18,000 acres of crops and jeopardized expensive irrigation equipment, according to Brad Edgerton, the general manager of the Frenchman Cambridge Irrigation District that runs the nearly 48-mile-long waterway.
The canal was flowing at its normal rate of 150 cubic feet per second when Edgerton checked on his computer on the night of Aug. 13, but by the following morning the flow had been cut in half. Something had happened at the canal's dam near the town of Cambridge, about 200 miles west of Lincoln.
Edgerton drove there and discovered that someone had wrenched open the dam's two 10-foot sluice gates, sending the precious water down the Republican River. He estimates that about 50-acre-feet of water was lost during the roughly eight hours that the gates were open, and that the water was worth around $2,600 based on the $52-per-acre-foot price that farmers pay.
"It was an unfortunate situation. In the scheme of things, it wasn't a lot of water, but it was an inconvenience," he said.
Edgerton scrambled to notify farmers downstream about the problem, called the sheriff and contacted the Bureau of Reclamation to get more water released from the Harry Strunk Reservoir to replenish the canal.
Furnas County Sheriff Doug Brown told the Lincoln Journal Star that he could only guess why someone would release the water.
"There are a lot of different scenarios and theories," he said. "But there is no evidence to lean one way or another, so all theories are still viable."
Edgerton said he thinks the sheriff is following up on every rumor he hears but so far is stumped.
"I don't believe they're any closer to solving it," he said Thursday.
It's not clear if any state law governs the act of releasing canal water back into a river — or provides penalties — but Furnas County Attorney Patrick Calkins said he'll try to find one if the sheriff does find out who grabbed the hand crank wheel from where it hung nearby and used it to open the gates.
"If we get information on who did this, I'd look at charging that person with something," Calkins said.

Two victims were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and one was treated and released at the scene, Henry County police Capt. Randy Lee said. Officers from multiple law enforcement agencies remain on the scene, and the investigation is still active, Lee said.
Lee said there is no threat to public safety.
No further information has been released, including the identity of the suspect or victims.
Facebook parent culls large Proud Boys network from sites
Facebook parent Meta says it has removed a network of accounts linked to the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group it banned in 2018.
People are also reading…
Meta said Thursday that it recently uncovered and removed about 480 Facebook and Instagram accounts, pages and groups linked to the Proud Boys. That brought the total number of Proud Boys assets it has removed to around 750 this year, it said.
Although the group has been banned from Meta’s platforms, the company said it has seen repeated attempts by its members at evading the ban. People behind the efforts are not identifying themselves as Proud Boys openly, creating front groups and using Facebook or Instagram to steer people to other, less-moderated platforms, it said.
Remains found in lake identified as man who drowned 20 years ago
Human remains that surfaced in the drought-stricken Lake Mead earlier this year have been identified as a man believed to have drowned 20 years ago.
The Clark County coroner on Wednesday said the remains, one of several sets recently discovered in the reservoir’s receding waters, belong to Thomas Erndt, a 42-year-old man from Las Vegas. He reportedly drowned Aug. 2, 2002, but his official cause and manner of death are unknown, officials said.
His remains were found in Callville Bay, on the Nevada side of the lake, on May 7. They were identified based on “investigative information, DNA analysis and reports from the original incident,” Clark County spokesperson Dan Kulin said in a statement .
2 plead guilty in scheme to sell Biden’s daughter’s diary
Two Florida residents have pleaded guilty in a scheme to peddle a diary and other items belonging to President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley, to the conservative group Project Veritas for $40,000, prosecutors said Thursday.
Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport stolen property across state lines, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams’ office said.
“Harris and Kurlander sought to profit from their theft of another person’s personal property, and they now stand convicted of a federal felony as a result,” Williams said in a statement.
Harris, 40, and Kurlander, 58, face the possibility of up to five years in prison when sentenced.

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized Republican challenger Scott Jensen on Thursday for repeated comments that equated masking rules and other restrictions the governor imposed early in the COVID-19 pandemic with the rise of authoritarianism in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.
Walz said such casual Holocaust comparisons, especially in today’s charged political environment, are unacceptable. A stream of Jewish community leaders have also said Jensen was offensive and distorted history by minimizing the Holocaust.
“Being wrong is one thing,” Walz told The Associated Press in an interview at the opening of the Minnesota State Fair, one of the many events canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. “Being told by people who know this issue that you’re wrong, and then continuing on, that becomes a character and a judgment issue.”
Jensen, a family physician and former state senator, built his campaign, especially in its early days, on a platform of vaccine skepticism and opposition to the Walz administration’s management of the pandemic.
Jensen’s latest remarks drew attention this week when a local Jewish website, TC Jewfolk, posted video of his speech in April to a “Mask Off Minnesota” event, at which he talked about gradual erosions of freedom in Germany in the 1930s, and compared it with Walz’s gradually increasing restrictions in the early months of the pandemic.
“And then the little things grew into something bigger. Then there was a night called Kristallnacht. The night of the breaking glass. Then there was the book burning, and it kept growing and growing, and a guy named Hitler kept growing in power, and World War II came about,” Jensen told the group.
Jensen stood by his statements in a defiant social media video Tuesday.
“When I make a comparison that says that I saw government policies intruding on American freedoms incrementally, one piece at a time, and compare that to what happened in the 1930s, I think it’s a legitimate comparison,” Jensen said. “It may not strike your fancy, that’s fine. But this is how I think and you don’t get to be my thought police person.”
Jensen returned to the theme that night at a Republican Jewish Coalition event, saying the governor’s restrictions were all about compliance and control.
Ethan Roberts, director of government affairs for the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, said comments like Jensen’s trivialize the Holocaust.
“Generally speaking, no one should ever compare things to the Holocaust unless we’re talking about genocide. Full stop,” Roberts said. “Such comparisons are inflammatory. They’re deeply, deeply historically inaccurate.”
The Holocaust wasn’t a story about incrementalism, Roberts explained, it was a story about genocide. And to equate it with masks that were intended to protect people is “an extremely bad analogy,” he said.
Jensen is far from the only politician to get in trouble for Holocaust comparisons. Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, of Colorado, was condemned last year for accusing Gov. Jared Polis of sending “brown shirts” to shut down restaurants during the pandemic, and for accusing President Joe Biden of sending “needle Nazis” to coerce vaccinations.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of Georgia, apologized last year after comparing House floor coronavirus safety measures to how the Nazis made Jews wear stars of David and sent them to the gas chambers. GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, of California, called the comparison “appalling.” Earlier this year, Republican Rep. Warren Davidson, of Ohio, apologized to Jewish groups after comparing mask and vaccine mandates to Nazi practices.
There’s been a steady increase in the use of Holocaust and Nazi analogies across the country over the last few years, said David Goldenberg, Midwest regional director for the Anti-Defamation League.
“At the end of the day, there is no logical comparison to be made, and regardless of how passionate someone might feel, they have to realize it’s a bad and deeply offensive comparison,” Goldenberg said.
Jensen wasn’t available for an interview Thursday, with his campaign citing a busy schedule of State Fair events. He left a campaign event early on Wednesday before reporters could ask him about the controversy, but his running mate, former Minnesota Vikings center Matt Birk, was dismissive.
“We know the game. I mean, I’ve been a victim of it, Scott’s been the victim of it for a long time. You take 10-second sound clips and then everybody, it’s the age of outrage on Twitter,” Birk told reporters. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/minnesotas-walz-hits-rival-jensen-for-holocaust-remarks/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-08-25T22:29:30Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/minnesotas-walz-hits-rival-jensen-for-holocaust-remarks/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | true |

NEW YORK (AP) — Anticipation for one of the fall’s likeliest bestsellers has been growing all year.
For months, Colleen Hoover’s millions of fans on TikTok, Instagram and elsewhere have been talking up and posting early excerpts from her novel “It Starts With Us.” By summer, the author’s sequel to her bestselling “It Ends With Us” had already reached the top 10 Amazon.com. It might have climbed higher but for competition from other Hoover novels, including “Ugly Love,” “Verity” and, of course, “It Ends With Us,” the dramatic tale of a love triangle and a woman’s endurance of domestic abuse that young TikTok users have embraced and helped make Hoover the country’s most popular fiction writer.
Hoover’s extraordinary run on bestseller lists, from Amazon.com to The New York Times, has been Beatle-esque for much of 2022, with four or more books likely to appear in the top 10 at a given moment. “It Starts With Us” had been so eagerly desired by her admirers — CoHorts, some call themselves — that she broke a personal rule: Don’t let “outside influences” determine her next book.
“I never allowed myself to entertain a sequel, but with the amount of people emailing me every day and tagging me in an online petition to write about (those characters), their story began to build in my head in the same way my other books begin,” she told The Associated Press in a recent email. “Eventually I craved telling this story as much as I did my other stories, so I owe the readers a big thank you for the nudging.”
Hoover’s new book should help extend what has been another solid year for the industry. Booksellers are looking forward to a mix of commercial favorites such as Hoover, Anthony Horowitz, Beverly Jenkins and Veronica Roth alongside what Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt calls a “really strong” lineup of literary releases, including novels by Ian McEwan and Kate Atkinson.
The fall also will feature new fiction from Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk and Pulitzer Prize-winners Elizabeth Strout and Andrew Sean Greer. Celeste Ng’s “Our Missing Hearts” is her first novel since “Little Fires Everywhere.” Story collections are expected from George Saunders, Andrea Barrett and Ling Ma, along with novels by Percival Everett, Barbara Kingsolver, Kevin Wilson, N.K. Jemisin, Lydia Millet and Yiyun Li.
Cormac McCarthy, 89, has new fiction coming for the first time in more than a decade with “The Passenger,” and its companion “Stella Maris.” John Irving, who turned 80 this year, is calling the 900-page “The Last Chairlift” his last “long novel,” a description which could apply to much of his career.
Russell Banks, 82, has completed the elegiac novel “The Magic Kingdom,” and former U.S. poet laureate Robert Pinsky, 81, has written the autobiography “Jersey Breaks,” in which he addresses what he calls the “tribalism” and “nationalism” of the current moment by reflecting on his childhood in Long Branch, New Jersey.
“I realized that I am not a great sociologist or political sage, but I thought I could deal with this by going back to growing up in a town that was segregated, biracial and lower middle class,” Pinsky says. “I felt that whatever answers I might have would be found there.”
Joe Concha’s “Come On, Man!: The Truth About Joe Biden’s Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Presidency” is the most colorfully named of the latest round of books attacking an incumbent president — a long and profitable publishing tradition. But the most high-profile works of political reporting dwell on Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, among them “Confidence Man,” by The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, and “The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017–2021,” by Peter Baker of the Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker.
Michelle Obama’s “The Light We Carry” is her first entirely new book since her worldwide bestseller from 2018, “Becoming.” Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Bibi” is the first memoir by the former Israeli Prime Minister, while American politicians with new books include Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke.
The fall will feature numerous posthumous releases, from the letters of John le Carré and the diaries of Alan Rickman to fiction by Leonard Cohen and memoirs by Michael K. Williams and Paul Newman, whose “The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man” restores a project the actor abandoned years before his death in 2008.
“Victory Is Assured” compiles essays by the late critic and novelist Stanley Crouch, and “Ain’t But a Few of Us: Black Music Writers Tell Their Story” includes the influential Greg Tate, who died last year. Assorted works by Randall Kenan, the award-winning fiction writer who died in 2020, are collected in “Black Folk Could Fly.” His friend Tayari Jones, author of the acclaimed novel “An American Marriage,” wrote the introduction.
“Reading over the manuscript pages, I sometimes spoke to him, asking why he never told me this or that thing,” Jones told the AP. “Sometimes I laughed out loud and said, ‘Randall you are so crazy!’ — as though we were having a drink — boulevardiers! — and he had just related a hilarious anecdote. Other times, his brilliance underscored the breadth and depth of our loss, and I sat at my kitchen table and wept.”
Celebrity books include Bono’s “Surrender,” Matthew Perry’s “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing” and Geena Davis’ “Dying of Politeness.” Bob Dylan reflects upon an art form he helped reinvent in “The Philosophy of Modern Song,” while the title of Jan Wenner’s memoir invokes the Dylan classic that helped inspire the name of the magazine he founded, “Like a Rolling Stone.”
Memoirs also are scheduled from Steve Martin, Linda Ronstadt, Constance Wu and Brian Johnson. Patti Smith’s “A Book of Days” builds upon the words and images of her widely followed Instagram account, on which she might post anything from a statue of Leonardo da Vinci to her cat staring at the cover of Dostoevsky’s “The Idiot.”
“I love doing my Instagram; it’s the only social media I really engage in,” Smith says. “The book was actually quite laborious. It takes time to write a short caption. You have to find a way to impart a lot in a few sentences.”
In poetry, one notable release is a work of narrative prose: Nobel laureate Louise Glück’s “Marigold and Rose” is a brief exploration into the minds of infant twins, inspired by the author’s grandchildren. It’s the first published fiction by the 79-year-old Glück, whose previous releases include more than 10 poetry collections and two books of essays.
New poetry includes works by Pulitzer-winners Jorie Graham and Sharon Olds, Saeed Jones, Jenny Xie, former U.S. poet laureates Billy Collins and Joy Harjo, Linda Pastan and Wang Yin, the Chinese poet whose “A Summer Day in the Company of Ghosts” is his first work to come out in English.
History books will cover the famous and the overlooked. Among the former are Pulitzer-winner Jon Meacham’s “And There Was Light,” the latest entry into the canon of Abraham Lincoln scholarship, and Pulitzer-winner Stacy Schiff’s biography of Samuel Adams, “The Revolutionary.” Fred Kaplan, who focused on Lincoln’s prose in “Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer,” now assesses Thomas Jefferson in “His Masterly Pen: A Biography of Jefferson the Writer.”
Releases highlighting those less remembered include Kevin Hazzard’s “American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America’s First Paramedics,” and Katie Hickman’s “Brave Hearted: The Women of the American West.” With the overturning last summer of Roe v. Wade, Laura Kaplan’s “The Story of Jane” is a timely reissue of her 1995 book about the underground abortion counseling service founded in Chicago in 1969, four years before the Supreme Court’s historic Roe ruling.
Bruce Henderson’s “Bridge to the Sun” centers on the recruitment of Japanese-Americans, some of whom had been in internment camps, to assist in U.S. intelligence gathering during World War II.
“It was really hard to research because many of them had been working on top secret projects, and, even after they had been discharged, were reminded that they were under the National Security Act and that military secrets had to be kept,” Henderson says. “We had to do a lot of digging and contact families and see what the veterans had left behind. Of the six guys that I follow in my book, only one was still alive.” | https://www.koin.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-fall-books-a-broad-mix-of-literary-and-commercial-favorites/ | 2022-08-25T22:30:10Z | https://www.koin.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-fall-books-a-broad-mix-of-literary-and-commercial-favorites/ | true |
The Aug. 22 news article “Workers demand that Google expand abortion protections post-Roe” reported demands that various businesses provide travel or relocation benefits for abortion and that they halt donations to antiabortion groups. The demands are misguided.
“Antiabortion groups” is a term applied to pregnancy centers that exist to meet pregnant women’s needs so they will not feel forced to choose abortion. What pro-choice person would oppose pregnant women’s empowerment to make a choice between possible options, rather than to feel her only choice is abortion? Americans hold a wide range of beliefs relating to abortion. We should respect others’ rights to disagree with us, and elect lawmakers who agree with us. However, giving in to the reported demands might violate the law — and will deprive some women of options they desire.

Eli Manning jokes that Tom Brady 'hates my mom' Olivia Manning... because she gave birth to two of the greatest QB of all time's biggest rivals
- Manning joked on an episode of former Patriots WR Julian Edelman's podcast
- Eli & brother Peyton defeated Brady in Super Bowls and championship games
- Brady's bid at a perfect season in 2007 was stopped thanks to Eli's Giants team
Giants fans will not soon forget the two occasions their team spoiled the party of the greatest quarterback of all time.
For that, their former QB says one person is to thank - or to blame depending on which side you're on.
Making an appearance on Julian Edelman's 'Games with Names' podcast, former Giants QB Eli Manning made a joke that the one person to truly blame for Tom Brady's few playoff misfortunes is his mother, Olivia Manning.
Edelman - a former Patriots wide receiver - prompted the answer by asking if Eli and his brother Peyton Manning ever swap 'old war stories about how much you hate Brady?'
Olivia Manning stands with son Peyton Manning when he was with the Indianapolis Colts
Olivia, the wife of former NFL QB Archie (second left) and mother of Peyton (middle) and Eli (right) was the matriarch of a football family with four Super Bowl titles
'No, no,' Eli responded, saying Brady is a 'good looking guy who just throws spirals and wins games. Like, how do you hate that guy?'
When comedian Sam Morril - a co host on the podcast - tried to dig deeper, Manning offered an off handed remark.
'He hates my mom. If it weren't for Olivia Manning, Tom would have like, 12 Super Bowls probably.'
Brady has had multiple run-ins with the Manning brothers, most notably during Super Bowl XLII, when the Giants prevented the Patriots from capping off an undefeated season.
Years later in Super Bowl XLVI, the Giants stopped the Patriots from winning the Lombardi Trophy once again.
As for Peyton, his battles with Brady in the AFC playoffs became legendary as one of the greatest quarterback rivalries in NFL history.
Brady defeated Peyton in the 2003 AFC Championship game en route to his second crown in Super Bowl XXXVIII, then again in the divisional round the following season as the Patriots won Super Bowl XXXIX.
After that, Manning got the better of Brady, winning AFC Championship matchups in 2006 as a member of the Colts and then in 2013 and 2015 with the Denver Broncos.
Manning went on to win the Super Bowl in 2006 and in 2015.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Administrators at a Nebraska school shuttered the school’s award-winning student newspaper just days after its last edition that included articles and editorials on LGBTQ issues, leading press freedom advocates to call the move an act of censorship.
The staff of Northwest Public Schools’ 54-year-old Saga newspaper was informed on May 19 of the paper’s elimination, the Grand Island Independent reported. Three days earlier, the newspaper had printed its June edition, which included an article titled, “Pride and prejudice: LGBTQIA+” on the origins of Pride Month and the history of homophobia. It also included an editorial opposing a Florida law that bans some lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity and dubbed by critics as “Don’t Say Gay.”
Officials overseeing the district, which is based in Grand Island, have not said when or why the decision was made to eliminate the student paper. But an email from a school employee to the Independent cancelling the student paper’s printing services on May 22 said it was “because the school board and superintendent are unhappy with the last issue’s editorial content.”
The paper’s demise also came a month after its staff was reprimanded for publishing students’ preferred pronouns and names. District officials told students they could only use names assigned at birth going forward.
Emma Smith, Saga’s assistant editor in 2022, said the student paper was informed that the ban on preferred names was made by the school board. That decision directly affected Saga staff writer Marcus Pennell, a transgender student, who saw his byline changed against his wishes to his birth name of “Meghan” Pennell in the June issue.
“It was the first time that the school had officially been, like, ‘We don’t really want you here,’” Pennell said. “You know, that was a big deal for me.”
Northwest Principal P.J. Smith referred the Independent’s questions to district superintendent Jeff Edwards, who declined to answer the questions of when and why the student paper was eliminated, saying only that it was “an administrative decision.”
Some school board members have made no secret of their objection to the Saga’s LGBTQ content, including board president Dan Leiser, who said “most people were upset” with it.
Board vice president Zach Mader directly cited the pro-LGBTQ editorials, adding that if district taxpayer had read the last issue of the Saga, “they would have been like, ‘Holy cow. What is going on at our school?’”
“It sounds like a ham-fisted attempt to censor students and discriminate based on disagreement with perspectives and articles that were featured in the student newspaper,” said Sara Rips, an attorney for the Nebraska chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Nebraska Press Association attorney Max Kautsch, who specializes in media law in Nebraska and Kansas, noted that press freedom is protected in the U.S. Constitution.
“The decision by the administration to eliminate the student newspaper violates students’ right to free speech, unless the school can show a legitimate educational reason for removing the option to participate in a class … that publishes award-winning material,” Kautsch said. “It is hard to imagine what that legitimate reason could be.” | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/national/ap-nebraska-school-officials-close-newspaper-after-lgbtq-issue/ | 2022-08-25T22:32:11Z | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/national/ap-nebraska-school-officials-close-newspaper-after-lgbtq-issue/ | true |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kurt Busch will miss the start of NASCAR’s playoffs with concussion-like symptoms that have sidelined him six for weeks, meaning two spots in the 16-driver field will be open Saturday night in the regular-season finale at Daytona International Speedway.
23XI Racing on Thursday withdrew the medical waiver that was holding Busch’s spot in the playoffs.
“As much as I wanted and hoped to be able to get back in the No. 45 cae to make a playoff run with our team, it’s still not the right time for me,” Busch said on social media. “In addition to not being cleared to return to racing, I know that I am not ready to be back in the car.”
Busch has been out since he crashed in qualifying July 23 at Pocono. Ty Gibbs, the 19-year-old grandson of Joe Gibbs, has replaced Busch since he was injured.
Busch earned his spot in the playoffs with a win at Kansas Speedway in May and, had he not been injured, NASCAR’s 2004 champion would have participated in the playoffs for a 10th consecutive season. By pulling its medical waiver, 23XI gave some breathing room to fellow Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr., who was battling Ryan Blaney for the final spot in the field.
“I respect the sport of NASCAR, my fellow drivers and the fans too much to take up a playoff spot if I know I can’t compete for a championship this season,” Busch said. “The decision was not an easy one, but I know it is the right thing to do.”
David Wilson, president of Toyota Racing Development, said the manufacturer will still lean on Busch throughout the playoffs.
“Toyota’s priority for Kurt Busch since the moment the accident took place at Pocono has been his health and recovery. Not his recovery to get back in a race car, but his recovery overall,” Wilson said. “While we’re disappointed that he won’t get the chance to compete for the 2022 championship by missing the start of the playoffs, his well-being is the only thing that matters to us.”
NASCAR commended Busch for how he’s handled his injury and said the No. 45 will still be eligible to compete for the owner’s championship.

Bun in the oven: Nico Tortorella and Bethany C Meyers are expecting a baby. The Younger star, 34, and the bec.come founder, 35 - who married in 2018 - are going to be parents after struggling with IVF
Nico and Bethany are just starting to comprehend the 'magic and healing' their foray into parenthood will give them.
They continued: 'After months and months of heartache and unknowns we are beginning to see just how much magic and healing this process has already offered.
'Of course, we still have a ways to go, and we know some days will be more difficult than others. But, today is a celebration.
'Today we are one step closer to becoming parents. All of it is you baby.'
In 2019, the pair shared that kids were going to be part of their lives 'when they're supposed to'.
Happy news: 'We've been trying to conceive for almost two years and we're happy to announce our baby finally decided the time was right. As anyone with an infertility journey will tell you, it's not easy,' he told People
Bethany said: 'It's definitely on the horizon! I was for sure that it was going to be this year but now I'm like, maybe a little longer.
'I think both of us believe that our children will come to us exactly when they're supposed to.'
Nico - who is genderfluid - added: 'I like to think that our baby's going to choose when it's the best time, it's not going to be us that makes that decision. We hear 'em knocking on a regular basis. I have dreams about our kids all the time. They're ready, somewhere.'
Tortorella and Meyers formally announced their March 9, 2023 arrival date with sweet posts and messages to one another and their fans.
Star of the small screen: Nico and Bethany are just starting to comprehend the 'magic and healing' their foray into parenthood will give them. They continued: 'After months and months of heartache and unknowns we are beginning to see just how much magic and healing this process has already offered'
Meyers shared the same images and exciting news on her account.
They looked over the moon in the portraits.
Under an image of Tortorella kissing their baby bump with the dramatic New York skyline as a backdrop, the entrepreneur and founder of The Become Project wrote a lengthy message and most notably stated '…I just want to sit the excitement of getting to share our news with all of you…our baby is in my belly….'

Wearing a rust color form-fitting spaghetti strap dress that put the small baby bump on display, Meyers looked healthy and strong.
Choosing gender-neutral tones for the shoot with photographer Vic Matthews, the non-binary wellness advocate paired the dress with gold platform sandals and wore their short hair loosely.
The most striking accessory is their giant smile. Tortorella wore a 1950's inspired cream-colored top unbuttoned with a tank top underneath and loose stylized beige pants.
Opting to be barefoot, the dad-to-be looked elated to be making the announcement. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11147223/Nico-Totorolla-Bethany-C-Meyers-announce-theyre-expecting-child.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-25T22:37:05Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11147223/Nico-Totorolla-Bethany-C-Meyers-announce-theyre-expecting-child.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Heavy winds fan brushfire near Esquimalt Lagoon in Colwood, B.C.
Firefighters were called to a brushfire in Colwood, B.C., late Wednesday afternoon.
Both the Colwood and View Royal fire departments were called to the fire at Fort Rodd Hill, near the Belmont Battery, shortly before 5 p.m.
View Royal Fire Chief Paul Hurst says the fire was about one hectare shortly before 6 p.m. and was being fanned by heavy winds.
The fire was considered contained by early Wednesday evening with no threat to structures and no damage to buildings, though heavy smoke could still be seen, according to Hurst.
Thirty firefighters were at the scene, including 15 members from each fire department.
The BC Wildfire Service also dispatched a helicopter to assist with the fire.
Hurst expects fire crews to be on site well into the night doing mop-up work and watching for hotspots.
Fire crews ask that people avoid the Esquimalt Lagoon area as firefighters extinguish the blaze.

WATCH: Richland Two holds meeting on school lunches
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) -The Richland Two school district is holding a meeting tonight on school lunch policies. This comes after the district issued an apology earlier in the week after parents received a message from the district Monday.
Parents expressed concern after a reminder was sent to parents about school lunch debts. With pandemic lunch programs expiring, parents now have to resume paying for their student’s food. However, the district communicated that students with lunch debts will potentially have their meals thrown away under the policy.
The district’s website previously said, “High School students are allowed to charge up to $10 on their cafeteria account. Once the cafeteria account reaches the allowed $10 negative balance, the cashier will no longer allow the student a meal. Cashiers will use discretion when not allowing a high school student a meal. The meal will not be dumped in the trash in front of students, instead, it is to be taken to the kitchen and disposed of out of the view of students.”
Thursday’s meeting held only one item on the agenda, the discussion of the policy.
The district is encouraging families to apply for free and reduced lunch on their website.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A supplier, distributor and manufacturer of children's toys said it plans to expand its headquarters in South Carolina.
Sunny Days Entertainment, LLC said it's making a $16 million investment in its headquarters in Gray Court to meet increased demand for its products. The expansion will create 80 new jobs, Gov. Henry McMaster's office said in a news release Wednesday.
“We’re glad to call Laurens County our home. The new warehouse will provide multiple growth opportunities for us and the great workforce of this area," said Sunny Days Entertainment CEO and Partner Melvin Wells.
McMaster said the state looked forward to strengthening its partnership with the toy maker.
“It's always a big win for South Carolina anytime a company decides to grow in our state,” he said.
The company creates children's toys for some of the nation's largest retailers, officials said. Operations are expected to be online by the first quarter of 2023.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has awarded a $150,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to Laurens County to help with the costs of site preparation and building construction. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Toy-maker-to-expand-its-headquarters-in-South-17398788.php | 2022-08-25T22:41:15Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Toy-maker-to-expand-its-headquarters-in-South-17398788.php | false |
Everyday Australians to support refugees
Refugees in urgent need of resettlement will be supported by local community groups under a new pilot program aiming to guide and support new arrivals.
The Community Refugee Integration and Settlement Pilot will fund community supporter groups to assist refugees to access accommodation, local orientation, education and government services.
Community Refugee Sponsorship Australia (CRSA) trains and deploys community groups under the program, to help refugees needing urgent resettlement as identified by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) .
CRSA CEO Lisa Button lobbied alongside several non-government organisations and charities for more than four years to establish the program, approved by the Morrison government late last year.
"It is wonderful to see it come to fruition and to see Australians from all walks of life signing up to be trained in the process," Ms Button said.
The model is based on a successful Canadian policy launched in 1978.
"Under that program, everyday Canadians have sponsored more than 325,000 refugees into the community, in addition to the government assistance refugee programme," Ms Button said.
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles said refugees supported by the program were currently counted under Australia's existing humanitarian intake for now.
"This is about everyday Australians looking at what is happening around the world and wanting to lend a hand," Mr Giles said ahead of a visit to a community group in Gosford on Friday.
Former Congolese refugee and CRSA Community Engagement Manager Blaise Itabelo understands local support first-hand.
"When I came to Australia, I was lucky enough to stumble into a friendship with an Australian man and his family, who helped me build a new life, and feel like I belong," Mr Itabelo said.
"He rented a truck to help me collect second-hand furniture for my first flat... and gave me his old laptop, which I used to apply for my first job."
The Albanese government has committed to expanding Australia's refugee intake by becoming additional to existing refugee numbers in future sponsorships programs.
There are more than 27 million refugees worldwide, with more than two million predicted to need resettlement this year, according to the UNHCR.
Labor plans to progressively increase Australia's humanitarian refugee intake to 27,000 places annually, after the Morrison government cut the cap by more than a quarter to 13,750 last year, and issued less than 6,000 visas in the 2020-21 period.
Asylum Seeker Resource Centre principal solicitor Hannah Dickinson said an increase to Australia's humanitarian intake was long overdue.
"Any community sponsorship of refugees certainly needs to be in addition to the humanitarian intake rather than contributing towards the cap," Ms Dickinson said.
"We really support the initiatives and indeed any programs that increase community engagement with refugees and people seeking asylum." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11147315/Everyday-Australians-support-refugees.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-25T22:43:41Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11147315/Everyday-Australians-support-refugees.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

SEATTLE (AP) — Mariners right-hander George Kirby set a major league record by throwing 24 straight strikes to start the game and fellow Seattle rookie Julio Rodriguez reached a new level, but Ildemaro Vargas hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning that lifted the Washington Nationals to a 3-1 win Wednesday.
Kirby gave up five hits and one run before throwing his first ball to Joey Meneses in the third. Kirby topped the mark of 21 consecutive strikes to open by Joe Musgrove for Pittsburgh against St. Louis in 2018.
“I looked up at 15 or 16, and I was like ‘Oh, man,’” Kirby said.
Rodriguez hit his 20th home run, tying it at 1 in the eighth. The 21-year-old sensation who put on quite a show at the All-Star Home Run Derby became the fourth rookie in big league history with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in the same season, joining Mitchell Page (1977 Athletics), Ellis Burks (1987 Red Sox) and Marty Cordova (1995 Twins).
“I’m happy about it,” Rodriguez said. “Not a lot of people do it all the time.”
Rodriguez leads all rookies in home runs and has stolen 23 bases.
The teams split its brief two-game series, with Seattle winning three of four this year after sweeping Washington in a doubleheader July 13. The Mariners hold the third and final spot in the AL wild-card race while the Nationals have the worst record in the majors.
Vargas homered with two outs off Paul Sewald (3-4), who had not given up an earned run since July 26. It was his third homer of the year, two of them for Washington after he began the year with the Chicago Cubs.
“Super excited in that moment,” Vargas said through a translator. “Anything I can do to help the team win. I’m here to do the little things and take advantage of the opportunities.”
Kyle Finnegan (5-2) allowed a couple of baserunners in the ninth before retiring Cal Raleigh on a flyout.
Nationals starter Anibal Sánchez allowed no runs and two hits in 4 1/3 innings. In his last two outings, the 38-year-old has given up one earned run and three hits in 9 1/3 innings.
“The one thing I could say about Aníbal right now is he keeps us in the ball game,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said.
Kirby struck out nine in seven innings, giving up eight hits without a walk.
Nelson Cruz hit an RBI single in the first.
STREAK CONTINUES
Washington has gone 41 straight games without its starter being the winning pitcher. It’s the longest drought in major league history. Despite the unfortunate streak, Sánchez’s last three outings resulted in wins for the Nationals.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: LF Sam Haggerty is dealing with an isolated deltoid strain but is progressing, manager Scott Servais said. Haggerty is expected to be ready Thursday against Cleveland. He’s available off the bench if needed.
UP NEXT
Nationals: Top pitching prospect RHP Cade Cavalli will make his major league debut at home vs. Cincinnati on Friday. In his last outing with Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 20, he pitched five innings, allowing one run and striking out eight. He’s 6-4 with a 3.71 ERA in 20 games this season with Washington’s top affiliate. Cavalli was selected 22nd overall in the first round of the 2020 MLB draft by the Nationals.
Mariners: LHP Marco Gonzales (8-12, 4.08) looks to carry momentum into Thursday’s home game against Cleveland. He gave up one run in Seattle’s 10-2 win over Oakland last week.

- Q2 Net Revenue: $1.517 billion, grew by 41% year-on-year
- Q2 Gross Margin: 51.8% GAAP gross margin; 65.0% non-GAAP gross margin
- Q2 Diluted income per share: $0.01 GAAP diluted income per share; $0.57 non-GAAP diluted income per share
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.517 billion, consistent with the midpoint of the Company's guidance provided on May 26, 2022. GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $486 million, or $0.57 per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the second quarter was $331.5 million.
"In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we delivered record revenue of $1.52 billion, which grew 41 percent year over year and 5 percent sequentially. This was the 9th straight quarter of sequential revenue growth, and we are guiding for growth to continue in the third quarter, as we expand our leadership in data infrastructure," said Matt Murphy, Marvell's President and CEO. "Looking ahead, we expect sequential revenue growth to accelerate in the fourth quarter as supply constraints begin to ease. We believe we are well positioned to continue to benefit from our favorable end market exposure tied to strong secular growth trends and significant expected upcoming revenue contributions from a number of Marvell-specific product ramps."
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Financial Outlook
- Net revenue is expected to be $1.560 billion +/- 3%.
- GAAP gross margin is expected to be 51.1% +/- 1.1%.
- Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be 65.0% +/- 0.25%.
- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $667 million to $677 million.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $435 million to $440 million.
- Basic weighted average shares outstanding are expected to be 854 million.
- Diluted weighted average shares outstanding are expected to be 862 million.
- GAAP diluted income per share is expected to be $0.09 +/- $0.04 per share.
- Non-GAAP diluted income per share is expected to be $0.59 +/- $0.03 per share.
GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Conference Call
Marvell will conduct a conference call on Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Interested parties may join the conference call by dialing 1-888-317-6003 or 1-412-317-6061, passcode 6112887. The call will be webcast and can be accessed at the Marvell Investor Relations website at http://investor.marvell.com/. A replay of the call can be accessed by dialing 1-877-344-7529 or 1-412-317-0088, passcode 2421301 until Thursday, September 1, 2022.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment associated with acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring and other related charges (including, but not limited to, asset impairment charges, employee severance costs, and facilities related charges), resolution of legal matters, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core business.
Marvell uses a non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This non-GAAP tax rate is based on Marvell's estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from Marvell's non-GAAP income, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency, and excludes tax deductions and benefits from acquired tax loss and credit carryforwards and changes in valuation allowance on acquired deferred tax assets. Marvell's non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate such as tax law changes; acquisitions; significant changes in Marvell's geographic mix of revenue and expenses; or changes to Marvell's corporate structure. For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, a non-GAAP tax rate of 6.0% has been applied to the non-GAAP financial results.
Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance.
Externally, management believes that investors may find Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Marvell's operating performance and the valuation of Marvell. Internally, Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas:
- Management's evaluation of Marvell's operating performance;
- Management's establishment of internal operating budgets;
- Management's performance comparisons with internal forecasts and targeted business models; and
- Management's determination of the achievement and measurement of certain performance-based equity awards (adjustments may vary from award to award).
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Marvell's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Marvell's results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

SAMSON, Ala. (WTVY) - Samson Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating Brent Johnson.
Brent Michael Johnson, 16, was last seen on August 24, 2022 at around 2:45 PM. He was wearing blue jeans, a brown shirt, back and white tennis shoes, and a gray backpack, on North Broad Street in Samson, Alabama.
He is believed to have gotten into a vehicle believed to be a white Toyota Corolla with Florida tags. The vehicle was last seen on video headed East toward Geneva.
His family lives in Samson and does not know who would pick up their child.

Canada's OpenText to buy British software firm Micro Focus in $6 bln deal
Aug 25 (Reuters) - Canadian software company OpenText said on Thursday it would acquire Britian's Micro Focus International Plc in a deal valued at $6 billion, including debt, in a push to expand its enterprise information management business.
OpenText will pay 532 pence ($6.30) in cash for each Micro Focus share and the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023.
Micro Focus helps customers maintain and integrate legacy IT technology, a business it has grown by acquiring legacy technology such as mainframe computer software used by banks, retailers and airlines.
Waterloo-based OpenText, one of Canada's largest software makers, said it expects cost synergies of $400 million after the deal closes.
The company's U.S-listed shares were down 1% in after-hours trading on Thursday.

The Justice Department on Wednesday released a memo from 2019 laying out the case for not prosecuting former President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice in connection with then-special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
The nine-page memo dated March 24, 2019 was written by two senior Trump Justice Department officials: Assistant Attorney General Steven Engel and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed O'Callaghan.
They conclude that none of Trump's actions documented in the Mueller report — his firing of FBI Director James Comey; his directing the top White House lawyer to fire Mueller; his exhorting witnesses not to flip — should be viewed as obstruction.
"We conclude that the evidence described in Volume II of the Report is not, in our judgment, sufficient to support a conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt that the President violated the obstruction-of-justice statutes," the memo says. "In addition, we believe that certain of the conduct examined by the Special Counsel could not, as a matter of law, support an obstruction charge under the circumstances."
The watchdog group Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sued under the Freedom of Information Act for the memo to be made public. The Justice Department long fought its release, arguing that the memo was part of the department's internal deliberative process.
A district court judge and a panel of circuit court judges disagreed and ordered its release.
Then-Attorney General William Barr ultimately declined to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice stemming from Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Trump and his supporters lauded the decision, but many legal experts questioned the reasoning and conclusion. More than 1,000 former federal prosecutors signed a letter in 2019 saying that the conduct described in Mueller's report would normally lead to multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice.
The memo concludes that there was not sufficient evidence to establish Trump obstructed justice during Mueller's probe. It says that obstruction cases usually are brought when a person prevents the investigation and prosecution of a separate crime, and that the Mueller probe did not establish an underlying crime or criminal conspiracy.
It also says that there is considerable evidence that Trump took official actions, such as asking the White House counsel to fire Mueller, "not for an illegal purpose, but rather because he believed the investigation was politically motivated and undermined his administration's efforts to govern."
The memo points out that none of Trump's requests to alter the investigation were carried out.
The document has been released as the former president faces both criminal and congressional investigations for other matters, including storing presidential documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

US: Strikes kill 4 Iranian-backed militia members in Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four Iranian-backed militia members were killed in U.S. strikes in Syria on Wednesday in response to attacks by the group in recent weeks, the U.S. military said Thursday.
In a statement, U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces also destroyed seven enemy rocket launchers on Wednesday hours after militia fighters fired rockets at two U.S. military installations in northeast Syria. Central Command provided additional details about the strikes on Thursday, saying they were done with Apache helicopters, AC-130 gunships and M777 Howitzers.
The latest spike in attacks came after militias backed by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard targeted U.S. troops on Aug. 15 at the al-Tanf Garrison in the south. There were no casualties or damage in that attack. But, in response, the U.S. struck bunkers and facilities used by the militias.
At the Pentagon on Thursday, Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said it would be premature to say if these strikes represent a broader escalation of violence in Syria.
“Certainly time will tell,” said Ryder, the Pentagon’s press secretary. “Based on the strikes that we have taken, we’ve sent a very loud and clear message, and a proportional message, that any threat against our forces who are operating in Syria or anywhere will not be tolerated. My hope would be that these groups would have received the message loud and clear and that we will not see similar behavior in future.”
President Joe Biden informed Congress of his decision to approve the initial U.S. strikes on the bunker facility, saying the goal was to disrupt the ongoing series of attacks and “to deter the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iran-backed militia groups from conducting or supporting further attacks on United States personnel and facilities.”
The opposition war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the U.S. airstrikes on the bunkers targeted the Ayash Camp run by the Fatimiyoun group made up of Shiite fighters from Afghanistan and that at least six Syrian and foreign militants were killed.
Within hours after the U.S. strikes, militia rocket attacks hit Green Village and the Conoco gas field in Deir el-Zour, where U.S. troops are stationed. According to U.S. Central Command, at least three servicemembers were treated or evaluated for minor injuries. U.S. forces retaliated by targeting the rocket launchers.
“We will respond appropriately and proportionally to attacks on our servicemembers,” said Gen. Erik Kurilla, who heads U.S. Central Command. “No group will strike at our troops with impunity.”
Deir el-Zour is a strategic province that borders Iraq and contains oil fields. Iran-backed militia groups and Syrian forces control the area and had often been the target of Israeli war planes in previous strikes.
Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani has denied that Iran had any link to those targeted. Iran routinely denies arming militia groups that target U.S. forces in the region, despite weaponry linking back to them.

The billboards, one located near the corner of Folsom and 7th Street, have a sinister image of a hooded man wearing sunglasses with children seen reflecting out of them. Alongside the image, the billboard reads:
"The Texas Miracle Died in Uvalde. Don't Move to Texas."
The quintessentially Texan slogan of "Don't Mess With Texas", which originates from the statewide anti-littering campaign started in 1985 by the Texas Department of Transportation, was crossed out with a large red "X" in the top-right corner of the billboard.
The images were originally taken by Charles Russo, where the story originally was reported for the SFGATE.
The ad is referencing the Uvalde school shooting, wherein 19 children and two adults were murdered at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on May 24. The 18-year-old shooter was able to gain access to the school and law enforcement responders took 77 minutes to neutralize the threat.
"The Texas Miracle" is a reference to a term coined by former Texas Governor Rick Perry in 2011. The term is used to describe the state's regulatory, economic and political systems that allow the state to continue in a state of growth as the years progress.
The phrase has predominately been used to referenced to how Texas saw a jump in job growth after the Great Recession of 2008 while the majority of the union did not.
Many versions of the billboards have been placed into discussion websites, like Reddit, where Californian residents are trying to decipher the very Texan-isms and what the intent of the billboards are.
It is currently unknown who is behind the creation of the billboards throughout the cities, but they are leased to advertisers by FoxPoint Media in San Francisco. | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-shooting/the-texas-miracle-died-in-uvalde/501-d55511f4-2c1b-400d-accc-26577ce74121 | 2022-08-25T22:56:30Z | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-shooting/the-texas-miracle-died-in-uvalde/501-d55511f4-2c1b-400d-accc-26577ce74121 | true |
ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — Aiming to turn months of legislative accomplishments into political energy, President Joe Biden sought Thursday to underscore the choice facing voters in the midterm elections, comparing Republican ideology to "semi-fascism," as he led a kickoff rally and a fundraiser in Maryland.
The events, in the safely Democratic Washington suburbs, are meant to ease Biden into what White House aides say will be an aggressive season of championing his policy victories and aiding his party’s candidates. It comes as Democrats have seen their political hopes rebound in recent months amid a legacy-defining burst of action by Biden and Congress.
From bipartisan action on gun control, infrastructure and domestic technology manufacturing to Democrats-only efforts to tackle climate change and health care costs, Biden is expected to highlight the achievements of the party's unified but razor-thin control of Washington. And he will try to sharpen the contrast with Republicans, who once seemed poised for sizable victories in November.
Just months ago, as inflation soared, Biden's poll numbers soured and his agenda stalled, Democrats braced for significant losses. But the intense voter reaction to the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade and a productive summer on issues of core concern to Democrats have the party feeling like it is finally on the offensive heading into the Nov. 8 vote, even as the president remains unpopular.
Democrats, said Biden pollster John Anzalone, are “in a better position to compete because Joe Biden put us there.”
“It doesn’t mean that the wind’s at our back,” he added. “But we have more of a breeze than what felt like a gale hurricane in our face.”
Ahead of the rally, Biden was raising about $1 million at an event with about 100 donors for the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund in the backyard of a lavish Bethesda home.
“I think the American people are waking up to reality that things have changed so drastically" with Republicans, he told donors, adding, “Mark my words” that if Democrats lose the midterms, Republicans would move to “wiping out choice, across the board.”
Biden's Thursday event comes a day after the president moved to fulfill a long-delayed campaign pledge to forgive federal student loans for lower- and middle-income borrowers — a move that Democrats believe will animate younger and Black and Latino voters.
Republicans, though, saw their own political advantage in the move, casting it as an unfair giveaway to would-be Democratic voters.
“President Biden’s inflation is crushing working families, and his answer is to give away even more government money to elites with higher salaries,” said Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. “Democrats are literally using working Americans’ money to try to buy themselves some enthusiasm from their political base.”
Biden aides said he would continue to paint Republicans as the "ultra-MAGA" party — a reference to former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan — opposing his agenda and embracing conservative ideological proposals, and Trump's false claims about the 2020 election.
“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy," Biden said. "It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden on Thursday would criticize “Congressional Republicans and their extreme MAGA agenda — taking away our rights, defending the super-rich and corporations, and putting Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block.”
She added that Biden “always quotes his dad – ‘don’t compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative.’ The alternative to Congressional Democrats and President Biden’s agenda is Congressional Republicans’ extreme MAGA proposals.”
Since the June Supreme Court ruling, Democrats have seen a boost in donations, polling and performance in special elections for open congressional seats. The latest came Tuesday in a Hudson Valley swing district that, in a Republican wave year, should have been an easy GOP win. Instead, Democratic Ulster County executive Pat Ryan, who campaigned on a platform of standing up for abortion rights, defeated his Republican counterpart from Duchess County, Marc Molinaro.
The shift is giving Democrats a new sense that a Republican sweep of the House is no longer such a sure bet, particularly as polling better than Biden and battle-tested incumbents work their districts
Meanwhile, Democrats have benefited from Republican candidates who won primaries but are struggling in the general campaign. Trump-backed Senate candidates have complicated the GOP’s chances in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, while several Trump-aligned candidates in House races were not always the party’s first choice.
Trump’s grip on the GOP remains strong and has perhaps even become tighter in the aftermath of the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home.
JB Poersch, the president of Senate Majority Project, an outside group that is working to elect Democrats to the Senate, said the Republican candidates are “getting caught up in the Trump tornado once again — that is exactly what voters of both parties don’t want.”
Biden's political event, sponsored by the Democratic National Committee, comes as the president and members of his Cabinet are set to embark on what the White House has billed as the “Building a Better America Tour” to promote “the benefits of the President’s accomplishments and the Inflation Reduction Act to the American people and highlight the contrast with Congressional Republicans’ vision.”
It comes as the White House has benefited from a steady decline in gasoline prices, which, while still elevated, have dropped daily since mid-June.
Months ago, Democratic lawmakers facing tough reelection fights sought to make themselves scarce when Biden came to town, though White House aides said Biden was still an asset to them by elevating issues that resonate with voters and sharpening the distinction with Republicans.
Now, allies see the fortunes beginning to change and the president as more of a direct asset to campaigns.
In Maryland, Biden was set to be joined by gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore and a host of other officials on the ballot. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who is up for reelection, was missing it, according to a spokesperson, because of a long-planned wedding anniversary trip with his wife, but he recorded a video welcoming Biden to his state that would play at the rally.
Cedric Richmond, the former Louisiana congressman and Biden senior adviser who now advises the Democratic National Committee, said if he were a candidate, he’d rush to have Biden at his side.
“I’d get in front of the van and become the drum major and talk about all the accomplishments that have happened under the leadership of Biden,” Richmond said Wednesday. “You have a president who just keeps his head down and gets the work done and I think voters, as we kick off this campaign season, will see and appreciate that.”
He acknowledged some Democrats might opt against “bringing Washington to their district."
“There are probably a few cases where that may make sense when you don’t even want to be associated with Washington,” Richmond said. “That has nothing to do with the president. That has everything to do with the typical dysfunction of Washington.”
He added, “The important point to stress is you don’t have that dysfunction right now because of President Biden.”

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state began accepting applications Thursday to open its first legal recreational pot shops, taking a novel approach by reserving the initial roughly 150 retail dispensary licenses for people with past pot convictions or their relatives.
The application process is a key step toward opening one of the country's most hotly awaited legal cannabis markets, but there's no exact date yet for sales to begin. Except for California, New York is the most populous among the 19 U.S. states that have legalized possession and use of marijuana for adults.
New York officials have emphasized that they want to make sure the new industry provides opportunity to people who bore the brunt of drug law enforcement, which fell disproportionately on Black and Latino people.
The state announced this winter that the first round of retail cannabis licenses would go to businesses and nonprofit groups with a leader who was convicted of a marijuana offense or has a close relation who was.
It's a “unique strategy that we’re implementing to try to make sure that those most impacted have real opportunity to participate here,” state Office of Cannabis Management Executive Director Chris Alexander said at a virtual news conference.
“It's really about writing a wrong,” he added.
First-round license requirements also include experience running a business that was profitable for at least two years.
Other would-be dispensary proprietors will be able to apply later, with a focus on people of color, women, struggling farmers, disabled veterans and people from communities that endured heavy pot policing.
New York aims to provide 50% of its total licenses to such applicants. The state also has pledged to establish a $200 million fund for startup grants, loans and other assistance for them. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/New-York-starts-taking-applications-to-sell-17398705.php | 2022-08-25T23:00:07Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/New-York-starts-taking-applications-to-sell-17398705.php | true |
With three children over the age of 10, Delaware couple Mark and Jenn Parrish thought they might be finished growing their family. Finding out Jenn was pregnant was a pleasant surprise.
"It was more of a surprise when we saw the ultrasound and there were two heartbeats!" she said.
At 34, Jenn was considered high-risk. She underwent multiple ultrasounds to examine the babies' organs, including all four chambers of their hearts. All went well every time.
On May 29, 2021, daughter Elina arrived first, healthy and screaming. Son Marcus cried a little but wasn't as lively. A few hours later, Jenn noticed her newborn son was lethargic, less and less interested in nursing, and starting to breathe rapidly.
"I instantly knew something was wrong," she said.
The pediatrician agreed to run some tests. A chest X-ray showed fluid on his lungs. Then came an ultrasound on Marcus' heart.
"That's when they discovered he was having major issues," Mark said.
The care team responded "like an emergency situation," Jenn said. "They took our baby, wheeled him downstairs and tried to intubate him immediately."
Fearing for their son's life, Jenn and Mark said goodbye to Marcus before he was transported an hour and a half away to a hospital better equipped to evaluate him. He was there only minutes before being sent to a children's hospital for treatment. The nervous parents, who watched this all play out via video, were told they had a "very sick little boy."
"They told us he was going to need surgery, sooner than later, if he was going to survive," Mark said.
Within days, Marcus had surgery to repair a narrowing of his aorta, known as a coarctation of the aorta. The surgeon also addressed another problem: a large hole between the two lower chambers of his heart, known as a ventricular septal defect. They treated this by placing a band around an artery, slowing the blood escaping through the opening. He also had a defective valve and another narrow artery.
At 19 days old, Marcus went home.
Less than two months later, the family was getting ready for a doctor's appointment. Marcus was in his car seat, ready to be carried to the car, when Mark screamed, "Jennifer, he's blue!"
Quickly, he removed the limp infant from his carrier, checked for a pulse and found none. Thankfully, Mark, who'd learned CPR years before as a Boy Scout, had taken a course again at work a year before.
"The training I had received took over, and I just started chest compressions, started breathing for him," he said. "After what seemed like an eternity, but was only a matter of minutes or seconds, he started a slow weak cry, and I started rubbing on his chest and just talking to him and encouraging him and giving him a few more breaths until he started crying louder and louder and louder."
Jenn, who called 911, said the first faint cry was "a noise you never forget."
"The next thing I know, there is an off-duty EMT in our house in shorts and flip-flops, but he had his jump bag with him and was able to give him oxygen," Mark said. "Then it was just a whirlwind of paramedics and police."
At the hospital, an echocardiogram showed that Marcus had a cardiac event. Other tests came back normal, but Marcus needed a second surgery to remove the band around his artery. Apparently the band that was supposed to help prevent one problem was now causing another by restricting blood flow.
Congenital heart defects are "a lifetime diagnosis filled with uncertainty," Jenn said. For instance, Marcus may need to have a stent because of scar tissue the band left behind.
He also has some developmental delays but is progressing well with therapy. In fact, though he lagged his sister in motor skills, he stood up and started walking perfectly around his first birthday.
"It was like he was behind, and then he snapped his fingers, and now he's ahead of his sister," Jenn said. "Now he's not only walking, he's running everywhere."
The couple is grateful for the scientific advancements that saved their son's life but know more work remains. They are now advocates for children with congenital heart defects and the families "who lose their infants due to missed early diagnosis and treatment."
They also urge other parents to have CPR training because it doesn't have to be something as serious as a congenital heart defect to cause a cardiac event.
"I think that's something every parent should have," Mark said, "because you never know when your child is going to need it."

Paradise Valley Luxury Expert Ranked #1 in Arizona by Real Trends/Wall Street Journal, #40 in US
PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz., Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With a remarkable $348 million in annual sales, Paradise Valley and Scottsdale luxury real estate expert Joan Levinson shattered her own records and was again named the #1 Individual Real Estate Agent in Arizona according to the 2022 RealTrends "The Thousand" List, as featured in The Wall Street Journal. The nationwide annual list is validated and vetted, and considered the most prestigious ranking in the country. She also finished as the #40 agent nationally.
"The numbers are just astounding, honestly, even to me!" says Ms. Levinson. "Obviously, the last year was just a whirlwind, and so many agents and teams really did have stunning years. I'm humbled to have again been ranked number 1."
In addition to the accolades from the Real Trends/Wall Street Journal list, Joan was also named last month as Arizona's 2022 Top Luxury Agent by Inman, the nation's leading real estate news publication. Across numerous publications, Levinson has managed to claim an award as the top agent in each of the last 5 years, including notably being named one of "America's Best Realtors" by Newsweek in 2020, and finishing at #1 in Arizona in both Newsweek's 2020 list and The Phoenix Business Journal's 2021 list.
"I've said it many times before, but I really am just so grateful for my remarkable clientele and my outstanding staff."
This year's ranking represented yet another appearance for Levinson in The Wall Street Journal, where she has had a frequent presence for many years, including numerous articles this year either as a resource for market information and Paradise Valley in particular, or showcasing her amazing listings. Her most recent appearance describes her representation of the largest undeveloped parcel remaining within the tony town of Paradise Valley, 27 acres listed at an eye-popping $55 million.
"The 27 acres are perfectly situated among the mountains, but lie on flat, non-hillside land, and are a stone's throw from Paradise Valley Country Club," says Levinson. "There really is no property quite like it: an undeveloped and divisible gem in paradise."
In a year where a lack of inventory has driven up home prices, matching buyers and sellers can be a challenge, but Levinson has managed to continue to do so – often finding and consummating transactions off-market. "Many of my clients are very private, they value discretion," she says. "One advantage to living and working in this market for 35 years is there really is no property I haven't encountered before. It is nice to be able to match buyers and sellers, to find the right fit for each. Whether publicly or privately. I'm lucky to be in this position."
Her broker at Realty One Group disagrees. "It's not luck," says Mandy Neat, Managing Broker at Realty One Group. "I've never seen an agent work harder for her clients or have such razor-focused attention to detail. I'd say the numbers are shocking, but there she is, year after year, amazing us all."
"I know her clients are lucky to have Joan representing them," Neat continues.
About Joan Levinson: Joan Levinson is the 2022 Real Trends/Wall Street Journal Number 1 Realtor in Arizona, and #40 nationally. She was named by Newsweek as one of "America's Best Realtors, 2020," and the Inman 2022 Top Luxury Agent in Arizona. As Arizona's Luxury Real Estate Expert, she has specialized for the past 35 years in the finest estates in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Arcadia. Levinson and her properties have appeared throughout TV and multiple major media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Newsweek, Fox, ABC, NBC, Architectural Digest and more.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that while global monkeypox cases fell by a fifth last week, the Americas has seen "intense transmission" in regions where there is a lack of education about the spread of the virus.
The WHO is focused especially on Latin America, where awareness and health measures are still lacking on monkeypox and controlling its spread.
Since early May, as AFP reported, there has been a rare surge in the spread of the virus outside of African countries where it has been endemic.
On July 24, after the WHO announced its highest emergency level regarding the virus, it was officially classified as an international health emergency.
This year alone has seen 45,355 cases and 15 deaths in at least 96 countries, according to the WHO.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. has seen 16,926 confirmed monkeypox/orthopoxvirus cases as of Aug. 25. | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/global-monkeypox-cases-dropped-outbreak-in-the-americas-in-intense-transmission-who-reports | 2022-08-25T23:03:57Z | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/global-monkeypox-cases-dropped-outbreak-in-the-americas-in-intense-transmission-who-reports | false |
Steelers QB Rudolph upbeat despite seemingly long odds
By WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph could face long odds to stay with the team. Rudolph is part of a three-man race with Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett to be the starter when the team opens the season at Cincinnati on Sept. 11.

DEAR ABBY: A childhood friend, "Brenda," moved away 20 years ago. Even though we were living across the country from each other, we remained close.
About 10 years ago, I lost my 9-month-old nephew to cancer. It was extremely traumatic for our whole family. His death occurred around the time Brenda and her family were visiting her parents here in town, so I notified them about the wake and funeral arrangements. Abby, they never showed. I was heartbroken and didn't talk to Brenda for a few months. After she apologized many times, I started to talk to her.
A few years later, Brenda's mother passed away. I was there for her and her family from start to finish, and when she was sick, I would take her mom to doctor appointments. Last year my mother died after a brief illness, and I again let my friend know. Again, she was a no-show. Money was not a problem for plane tickets for other things, but too expensive for me to have the comfort of a supposed "best" friend.

Should I ignore this again or let the relationship fizzle out? I'm hurt and have expressed this to her. She says she's sorry, but nothing changes. -- DISAPPOINTED IN NEW YORK
DEAR DISAPPOINTED: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. It's time you reevaluated your relationship with Brenda. You may be her best friend, but she is clearly not yours. A best friend is someone you can depend on. When the chips are down, Brenda has been absent. If you wish to keep her as a friend, do so, but with the understanding of her significant limitations.
DEAR ABBY: I am finalizing the guest list for my wedding and face a dilemma. A casual but long-term friend of ours is the ex-boyfriend of my maid of honor. The two are still friends and see each other occasionally, so there is no issue there. The issue is whether or not to invite his live-in girlfriend. I know typical wedding etiquette usually includes significant others, but in this case?
First off, we barely know her. Most of the time when our friend comes to our house, she doesn't come along. When we visit his house, she's gone or seems to avoid us. We're having a small backyard wedding, and the ex-girlfriend and the new girlfriend have never met. Is it necessary to invite her? I want to be respectful, but it seems complicated for everyone involved, and I'd rather not have it detract from the day for my maid of honor. -- BRIDE-TO-BE IN OREGON
DEAR BRIDE-TO-BE: Not knowing the ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, I can't offer insight into why she seems standoffish. It may be that she's socially awkward and not comfortable with people she doesn't know. To exclude the live-in girlfriend would be not only disrespectful to her, but also to her boyfriend. I don't advise doing it because you could create long-lasting hurt feelings and ill will. | https://azdailysun.com/lifestyles/columnists/dear-abby-friend-shows-pattern-of-flaking-out-when-needed/article_d4e7b7a6-1d8d-11ed-bb56-33c3ad44ff2f.html | 2022-08-25T23:07:41Z | https://azdailysun.com/lifestyles/columnists/dear-abby-friend-shows-pattern-of-flaking-out-when-needed/article_d4e7b7a6-1d8d-11ed-bb56-33c3ad44ff2f.html | false |
Who qualifies for Biden’s student loan forgiveness? Not Bank of North Dakota borrowers
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive $10,000 of federal student loans will benefit nearly 43 million Americans. But how do you know if that includes you?
About 45,000 borrowers statewide have student loans through the Bank of North Dakota. But the Bank of North Dakota doesn’t issue federal loans. That means, if you have student loans through BND, they won’t be cancelled or forgiven through President Biden’s federal student loan forgiveness program.
Melissa Mosbrucker has worked hard to pay off more than $10,000 in loans since she graduated college. But with several thousand dollars left in BND loans, she’s disappointed they won’t be cancelled.
“It honestly would’ve felt like a big relief off of my shoulders just to have it gone. I don’t know, I guess I’m kind of upset about it,” said Melissa.
That’s because all of Melissa’s remaining loans are through the Bank of North Dakota.
“Loans that are held by the Bank of North Dakota are actually issued and guaranteed by the state of North Dakota. So, the loans that are held by us are not eligible for the federal forgiveness announced by the president,” said Kelvin Hullet, Senior Vice President and Business Development Officer for the Bank of North Dakota.
That’s why representatives at the Bank of North Dakota encourage people to take out federal loans first.
“We also encourage them to apply for scholarships, grants, all of those sorts of things. Our hope is that the vast majority of their funding needs will be fulfilled by those various mechanisms, but if there’s a remaining amount, then that’s really where the Bank of North Dakota plays a role,” said Hullet.
Now, Melissa is dealing with her complex emotions about the topic.
“I don’t feel like it’s fair. I’m happy for everybody else that is going to get their loans taken care of, that’s great. That’s awesome for them. It would’ve been nice to be a part of that, but that’s just how the world works,” said Melissa.
President Biden also extended the student loan repayment pause for what he says is the final time, till December 31st, 2022, and made other changes to the current loan repayment scheme, which would forgive loan balances after 10 years payments, among other things.
Student loan relief from Bank of North Dakota loans is possible, even if it’s highly improbable. Since the Bank of North Dakota is a state entity, the only way student loans from there could be forgiven is if the State Legislature passes a law to do so.

[Foreign language] Thank you. Hello, everyone and welcome to MINISO Group June quarter 2022earnings conference call This marks the last quarter of fiscal year '22 and the first time we have announced results as the dual primary listed company in the U.S. and Hong Kong.
Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated team. We completed our listing in Hong Kong on July 13th this year. Our listing in Hong Kong was an important math arrangement from the perspective of -- prospects protecting the interests of our existing shareholders, and proactively responding to the evolving regulatory environment. We believe it will also provide us with more broader financing channels to drive the company's future development, help us expand our shareholder base, and promote the sustainable healthy development of our business.
On behalf of the company, I like to express my gratitude to each and every employee for their dedication and to our investors who have always cared for support in MINISO. Going forward, we're confident that we will create long-term value for shareholders by enabling everyone to better enjoy life and a little bit of surprise. So as we have repeatedly emphasized in our earnings conference calls over the past few quarters that retailers are capable of passing through economic cycles. Our business model has demonstrated great resilience despite the pandemic weighing our near-term results.
During this quarter, we have been promoting our brand upgrade efforts in China. And the gross margin of our domestic operations in the June quarter increased by about 3% from the same period of last year, as we have launched a new portfolio of high gross margin consumption-based products. During this quarter, as the domestic of our retail sector faced unprecedented challenges, which focused on growing the recovery of our overseas business, which achieved nearly 50% year-over-year growth in revenue and accounted for 34% of the company's total revenue the highest since the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020. Benefiting from these two drivers, our overall gross margin reached a record high of 33.3% in this quarter.
Our recent business performance demonstrates that our globalized presence has given us much greater flexibility when facing pandemic-related uncertainty in China, as we continue to unleash the operating leverage of our directly operated overseas business and further our efforts to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Our adjusted net profit increased by 57% year over year to RMB 220 million in the June quarter, which is double the figure from the prior-year quarter. Our adjusted net margin reached its highest level of the past 10 quarters at 9.6% returning to a level similar to what we have achieved before the pandemic. Next I will show in detail the development of our respective business segments during the quarter.
First, I will cover our domestic corporations, revenue in this quarter was RMB 1.41 billion, of which revenue from offline business was RMB 1.28 billion which, compared to RMB 1.82 billion and RMB 1.63 billion in the same period last year, respectively. We estimate that the GMV lost due to the impact of the pandemic was about RMB 700 million and the corresponding loss of accounting revenue was over RMB 400 million. More specifically, our sales decreased by nearly 30% year over year in April and May as a result of the reduced traffic to shopping malls, many of which were able to operate due to local government restrictions. In April, an average of 300 AD or 12% of MINISO in China were able to operate.
Number was down by about 100 in May but still accounted for nearly 9% of stores. Going into June as key cities gradually reopen, talking more our traffic recovered rapidly and meant toward resume normal operations. Temporary store closures were further down to 60 or 2% of our stores. Our sales in June recovered to 94% level from the same period last year.
That figure was nearly 90% in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities and whereas in Tier 3 and below cities we saw year-on-year growth of nearly 1%. E-commerce revenue in quarter was RMB 113 million as important complement to your offline channels. Revenue itself is not the most important KPI for e-commerce instead we focused more on its profitability which has been increasing over the past few years through our reasonable control of traffic acquisition costs. The MINISO retail partner mobile app demonstrated great resilience during pandemic outrage.
As MINISO retail partners with minimal inventory risk and always received their revenue share on time, the working capital pressure is much lower than the other franchising models. This quarter, despite the tremendous pressure of the pandemic, our business development team, they added 79 stores on net basis and contained the corporate store closure ratio to about 1.1%, the lowest level of the past eight quarters. In the fiscal year 2022, the number of store closure in China decreased by 40 compared with the prior year. As the control measures were stricter in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, new MINISO stores in China in this quarter came entirely from Tier 3 and below cities for the remaining four months of 2022, while dynamically adjust the stalls in pace according to pandemic development in China to lower operational risk for MINSO retail partners.
Moving on to MINISO overseas operations, revenue for June quarter was about RMB 780 million an increase of almost 50% year on year, revenue from our distributor business model increased by more than 30% year on year, revenue from our directly operated business model increased by about 70% year on year. During the June quarter, the overseas markets was down into recovery momentum, and overall sales increased by 52% year on year and recovered to over 90% over the same period in 2019. Our distributor markets increased by 45% year on year and have already recovered to nearly 100% over the same period in 2019 where sales in our direct operated markets increased by nearly 80% year on year and have recovered to 80% over the same period in 2019. By region, sales in Europe increased by nearly 40% year on year and more than doubled that in the same period in 2019.
Sales in North America increased by nearly 170% year on year, up 13% from the same period in 2019. Sales in Latin America increased by nearly 60% year on year, up more than 10% from the same period in 2019. Sales in the Middle East and North Africa increased by nearly 30% year on year, up 60% from the same period in 2019. And sales in Asian countries, including China increased by over 50% year on year, recurring to nearly 60% of the same period in 2019.
Asian countries excluding China is so far the only market that has not fully recovered to pre-COVID levels in sales. By country, sales in both the U.S. and Canada increased by nearly 170% year on year, Mexico increased by over 50%, while India nearly tripled. MINISO entered its 105 market in June quarter and added 57 overseas stores on net basis, compared to 35 stores in the same period last year.
The overseas market has entered that now the post-pandemic era and with a strong demand growth from distributors, we have speed up this pace of opening overseas stores this year. Although due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the geopolitical tension, which has delayed some of our distributors store opening plans. We are still confident that number of new overseas stores open in the calendar year of 2022 on net basis will be significantly higher than in 2021. Under the current high inflation environment in overseas markets, consumers tend to look for more value, which creates great market opportunities for us.
We adhered to the productive team philosophy and will continue to enhance our overseas design capacity by sending our domestic product teams overseas to further strengthen our product design capabilities and develop localized products. At present, we have the preliminary capabilities to launch products in a 7:1:1 manner in major overseas markets. Our next focus is on Latin America, North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. While our goal is to provide more and more localized products to consumers there.
We will continue to leverage China's strong supply chain capabilities and benefit from exporting the Chinese supply chain overseas. As we continue to cultivate in overseas markets, we have launched the MINISO store image 3.1 project to improve the visual competitiveness of our stores in some of these markets. We also practically assist overseas distributors in refining their operating strategies. Taking our distributing and as an example has achieved improved performance by shifting smokers from tourist areas to local communities to reduce reliance on tourists.
Next let's talk about TOP TOY. We continue to execute our established strategy in order and made steady progress. Although our revenue of TOP TOY increased by 43% year on year, while its online business contributed 15% of revenue in this quarter. In response to the pandemic in China, TOP TOY stepped off some promotional campaigns.
As a result its merchandise gross margin was about 42% in June quarter, which although lower than the previous quarters is still a house level. While quarterly, the sales mixed between TOP TOYs proprietary products and certain third-party products has been moving toward a more reasonable level mentioned our consistent product strategy. Proprietary products accounted for nearly 20% of TOP TOY sales and the gross margin of proprietary products remain over 60%. Looking back over the 2022 fiscal year, our key operating metrics have demonstrated that we are in a healthy growth space.
We added by 514 stores on net basis representing 11% year-on-year growth, revenue exceeded RMB 10 billion up 11% year over year. Gross profit exceeded RMB 3 billion up 26% year on year. Gross margin reached 30.4%, up 3.6 percentage points year on year. Adjusted net profit RMB 720 million up 51% year on year and net margin was 7.2% up nearly two percentage points year on year.
Looking forward to 2023 fiscal year, we are still optimistic about our future revenue and profit growth despite continued uncertainty from the pandemic as positive outlook comes from our long-term confidence in China's economic development. Our unchanged ambition for our retail business and our consistent determination to achieve globalized development. Lastly, as you may have noticed, we issued a letter of apology last week, in which we moved over the inappropriate marketing tactic not only days before becoming a listed company and announced a correction plan. In the future as a dual primary listed company, we will strictly comply with the regulations of both exchanges, which creates a greater level of compliance requirements for the company going forward.
Our continuous raise of compliance standards that govern our operations to guarantee the sustainable success of our core business. That concludes my prepared remarks. I will now turn it over to CFO for financial review.
Steven Zhang -- Chief Financial Officer
Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. I will walk you through the financial results in June quarter, as well as the full fiscal year 2022. Please be noted that all the numbers are in RMB unless otherwise stated.
And I will also refer to some non-IFRS measures, which has excluded the share-based and compensation expenses. Revenue in June quarter reached RMB 2.3 billion above the midpoint of our guidance range, which was RMB 2.1 billion to RMB 2.4 billion, which implies a better-than-expected performance in our domestic operation in June. Revenue from China was RMB 1.5 billion, including RMB 1.4 billion from MINISO grants and the RMB 95 million from TOP TOY brand and RMB 28 million from others. Of these revenue from MINISO brand experienced a year-over-year decline of 23% consistent with the decline trends of GMV and offline traffic to shopping malls.
Revenue from TOP TOY increased by 33% year over year. During this quarter, TOP TOYs sales was significantly impacted by the outbreak of omicron virus due to the concentration of stores in Tier 1 and the Tier 2 cities. As we have included in the previous call in May, although the impact of the pandemic on short-term performance is inevitable as we continued to follow our established strategy and made a steady performance in refined, TOP TOYs business model products and only channel strategy. For our overseas market, its revenue increased by 49% year over year to RMB 785 million.
If we look at the financial year 2020, the year-over-year increase in revenue was also about 50% which demonstrated that recovery trends of our overseas operation is very clear. For full fiscal year 2022, total revenue reached 10.1 billion, an increase over 11% from fiscal year 2021. Revenue from our domestic operations was RMB 7.4 billion increased by 2% from a year ago. Of this, revenue from domestic operations increased by 15% in the first half of fiscal year 2022 and decreased by 10% in the second half due to the spread of omicron in China.
Revenue generated from TOP TOY was RMB 447 million, representing an increase of 355% year over year. Gross profit in June quarter was RMB 772 million representing an increase of 21% year over year. Gross margin was 33.3%, compared to 25.8% in the same period of 2021. There was three reason for the year-over-year increase in gross margin.
First, it was primarily due to the revenue mix the change. This quarter, we have seen almost eight markets contribute 34% of total revenue, it is the highest level since the December quarter of 2019. Secondly, we launched the more profitable product in relation to MINISO strategic brand upgrades in this quarter. And the third reason is about the inventory clearance activities throughout the year that aim to take all the negative impact of the pandemic in Guangdong.
Our full year gross profit was RMB 3.1 billion, up 26% year over year. Gross margin was 30.4%, compared to 26.8% in the fiscal year 2021. Selling and distribution expense in June quarter was 346 million, representing an increase over 31% year over year. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributed to, first, increase the largest expense in relating to our recovery international operations.
Second, increase the personnel-related expense. And the third, increase the license expense relating to our newly launched IT products, partly offset by our saving in promotion and advertisement expense due to our reduced marketing effort in China to take all the resurgence of COVID-19. For the full year, selling and distribution expense was approximately RMB 1.4 billion, representing an increase of 29% year over year. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributed to, first increase of personnel-related expense.
Second, increased license expense relating to our enlarging IT library and the enriching offering of IT products. And third, increase the promotion and advertisement expense mainly connecting to a strategical brand update of MINISO in China. G&A expense in June quarter were RMB 180 million, representing a decrease of 5% year over year. The year-over-year decrease was primary due to decreased personnel-related expenses.
For full year G&A expenses were RMB 785 million, representing an increase of 19% year over year. The year-over-year increase was the primarily due to, first, increase the depreciation and amortization pays, mainly related to the land use rights of the company in the headquarter building project and the second increased personnel-related expense, which were partly offset by a decrease of Office operating expense as a result of expense control measures taken by the company to take all the resurgence of COVID-19 in China. Turning to profitability. Operating profits in June quarter was RMB 272 million representing an increase of 45% year over year.
Operating margin was 11.7%, compared to 7.6%, a year ago. For full fiscal year 2022, operating profit was RMB 882 million, representing an increase of 120% year over year. Operating margin was 8.7%, compared to 4.4% in the fiscal year 2021. Adjusted net profit in June quarter was RMB 223 million, representing an increase of 57% year over year.
Adjusted net margin was 9.6%, compared to a 5.7% in the same period over 2021. For full year, adjusted net profit was RMB 723 million, representing an increase of 51% year over year. Adjusted net margin was 7.2%, compared to 5.3% in fiscal year 2021. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings for ADS in June quarter were 0.72 up 50% year over year.
For full year adjusted basic and diluted earnings per ADS was 2.40 and 2.36 respectively, representing an increase over 43% and 40% year over year respectively. Turning to cash position, as of end of June, we had a cash position of RMB 5.8 billion. On August 17th, 2022, our board of directors approved a special cash dividend in the amount of approximately $53.5 million or RMB 360 million up 20% year over year. Our capital allocations revenue in the future, we will balance the new growth opportunity and our commitment to bring stable return to shareholders.
Turning to working capital, turnover of inventory and trade receivable remain stabilized. And the new listed company on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, we follow the common practice adopted by the public company in the Hong Kong market. And we will no longer provide a guidance on revenue growth going forward. That being said, as we approach the last month of the September quarter, we have observed encouraging sales and recovery in China, which has stabilized at a healthy level during the past several weeks.
Looking forward into the coming quarter, we expect our bottom-line performance, we will further normalize because of our disciplined execution over brand upgrade and a steady recovery of overseas operations. Thank you and this concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, we are now ready to take questions.
Questions & Answers:
Operator
Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. Your first question today comes from the line of Michelle Cheng of Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.
Michelle Cheng -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst
[Foreign language] So my question is about brand upgrades. So brand upgrade actually drive the gross margin quite significantly in the past quarters. So can management comment on strategies into second half? And what's the gross margin update and whether there's any related operating expenses for the brand upgrade? Thank you.
Jack Ye -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
[Foreign language] OK. Thank you, Michelle, for the question. This is Jack, and for questions, as we have communicated in our last call back in March. All MINISO brands strategic upgrade will count from three weeks in product and channel and in marketing.
In terms of products, we will continue to improve the gross margin of newly launched products, especially those inter-based consumption products in our regular based as planned. As mentioned just now know, as all domestic gross profit margin increased by about 3% year on year, this quarter, to about 54% from nearly to Q1 last year. So our current plans is that by the end of fiscal year 2023, which is this time next year, we plan to have improved our gross merchandise margin by another five percentage points close to 60%. In terms of channels, we plan to systematically optimize offline business and profitability in the Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities and to help our retail partners to reduce operational risk.
And in terms of marketing, we originally had marketing plan in the September quarter as we communicated, and the budget was around RMB 50 million or so. But however, considering the current domestic situation of the pandemic, and its possible outbreak -- restrict control measures will continue for some time. So we have decided to delay or postpone these market compares and to save a pot of cost. And this will have positive impact on profit in September quarter.
So I hope this help answer your question. Thank you.
Michelle Cheng -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst

Operator
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Anne Ling from Jefferies. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Anne Ling -- Jefferies -- Analyst
[Foreign language] Now let me translate in English. Just regarding your letter to the public regarding like minimize some of these like sort of "the Japanese interest". So, what exactly, as a strategy regarding how do we change in terms of the operation? Our concern is that whether all these changes will impact your image or your performance or your brand equity from the consumers angle both for overseas as well as the domestic client. So I would like to get more information about what is your plan? Thank you.
Jack Ye -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
[Foreign language] OK. Thank you, Anne, for your question. This is Jack. So, in terms of your question was about the correction plan of this event.
So, we have three specific measures. The first is, strengthening the internal control environment of our distributors in overseas markets, and especially, in relation to the political sensitive issues. And we will establish our headquarters our globalized headquarter of branding center. And we have all these marketing person in overseas market report to headquarters, and this headquarter, it will regularly organize related trainings for the frontline personnel.
And the second is on the operational side. And we have given a timeline in the correction plan that the rectification shall be completed before the end of March next year. And the third is from product level. So we will explore more Chinese culture or China's traditional elements embedded products and planned to launch a series of Chinese IT products to overseas markets.
For your second question about the impact on our sales, in Chinese market -- in domestic markets, we have not observed any impact from those China and overseas markets. So in China in July, the total GMV was about 95% of last year. And if you look at the first three quarters of August, it was planned year over year. And as we mentioned earlier, in last several quarters this recovery from sales in China net income from the recovery the foot traffic to shopping malls where our ASP remains -- gross or low single digit.
And in terms of overseas market, if you look at the July and the first three weeks of August. The total GMV in overseas distributors increased by about 30% to 40% on year-over-year basis. And if you look at our directly operated business, the year-over-year growth was even higher about 50%. Thank you for your question.

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Lucy Yu from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Lucy Yu -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
[Foreign language] So we are facing potential recession in U.S. and Europe. should we worry about the impact of recession on our business and whether that will impact our overseas expansion plans? Thank you.
Jack Ye -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
[Foreign language] Thank you, Lucy. This is Jack. I will cover this question. So in terms of the question on the store expansion in overseas market, we have to say that commonly we see a strong demand from our overseas distributors and the pipeline is also strong.
But we also have to be frankly speaking that the Russia/Ukraine complex and the evolving geopolitical risks in some of overseas markets are now impacting in different ways and aspects to our distributor store opening plan, and some of them have delayed store expansion plan in this quarter. But if you look at the past several years, from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2022, our overseas markets net added 375, 121, and 163 stores. So we are now quite confident that in fiscal year 2023, the net addition of our scores in overseas market as a whole will be significantly higher than that in 2022. Thank you.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of buy-now, pay-later company Affirm, which grew rapidly in the past two years as American consumers increasingly tried online installment loans, fell sharply Thursday after the company gave a more cautious outlook for its current fiscal year.
The outlook came with the company's report of a quarterly loss that was wider than what Wall Street expected.
High inflation has raised investor concern about borrowers' ability to keep up with their monthly payments. Buy-now, pay-later companies are being closely watched because of how quickly they grew during the pandemic.
In its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report, Affirm cited a small tick up in delinquencies during the year. In an interview with The Associated Press, founder and CEO Max Levchin said the company is seeing “some level of stress” in customers with the lowest credit profiles.
“We have taken a much more conservative posture,” he said. But he noted Affirm is looking for other ways to approve loans to borrowers, through tactics like higher down payments.
There is also increased competition in the buy-now, pay-later industry. Technology giant Apple plans to roll out its own service later this year.
That said, merchants are still signing up for Affirm and so are customers. The company effectively doubled the number of merchants who accept Affirm payments in the past year, and the average number of transactions per customer has grown from roughly two to three, a sign customers are not just signing up for the service once and leaving it.
Affirm said it expects revenue for its current fiscal year in the range of $1.63 billion to $1.73 billion, compared with the $1.9 billion in revenue that analysts were looking for, according to FactSet.
On a per-share basis, the San Francisco-based company said it had a loss of 65 cents in its fiscal fourth quarter that ended June 30.
Shares of Affirm Holdings Inc. have declined 69% since the beginning of the year.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A judge on Thursday again blocked a trigger law banning abortion in North Dakota as he weighs arguments from the state’s lone abortion clinic that the law violates the state constitution.
Burleigh County District Judge Bruce Romanick granted the request for a preliminary injunction as part of a lawsuit brought by the Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo.
The ban was set to take effect Friday. The clinic already moved its services a short distance to neighboring Moorhead, Minnesota, where abortion remains legal, even as it seeks to block the North Dakota law.
Romanick said he was not ruling on the probability of the clinic winning the lawsuit, rather that more time was needed to make a proper judgment. He said that even though the clinic moved its operations to Minnesota, the statute would also affect doctors and hospitals, making the decision to delay “still pertinent and appropriate,” the judge said.
Clinic attorney Tom Dickson told The Associated Press that his team was “gratified” by the ruling.
“The right of women to make the decisions affecting their personal autonomy should be guaranteed by the North Dakota Constitution,” Dickson said.
The lawsuit argues that the state constitution’s guarantees of rights to life, liberty, safety and happiness effectively guarantee a right to abortion.
It’s the second time that Romanick has put the trigger ban on hold. He ruled last month that Attorney General Drew Wrigley was premature in setting a July 28 closing date and issued a temporary restraining order that effectively gave the clinic time to move to Moorhead without a gap in services.
Wrigley said his office will “continue our efforts to ensure the eventual enforcement of the bipartisan provision signed into law back in 2007.”
The Legislature passed the law to kick in if the U.S. Supreme Court ever overturned its 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that established nationwide abortion rights. The high court did so in June.
The law would make abortion illegal except in cases of rape or incest or when the life of the mother is in danger — any of which would have to be proven in court. Otherwise, a doctor who performs an abortion would face a felony.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico’s top environmental regulator on Thursday warned state lawmakers that taxpayers could be on the hook for groundwater contamination since the U.S. Defense Department continues to challenge the state's authority to force cleanup of “forever chemicals” at two air bases.
The plumes of PFAS compounds are projected to move further beyond the boundaries of Cannon Air Force Base, and Environment Secretary James Kenney told a panel of lawmakers during a meeting in Clovis that it’s an urgent economic and environmental issue.
The state already has spent $6 million on the problem, he said.
The Defense Department has worked with other communities in neighboring Texas to remediate similar damage, but not in New Mexico, where the agency opted in January 2019 to file a lawsuit challenging the state's regulatory authority.
Work also has been done in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Colorado, and Kenney said that leaves New Mexico as the only state being sued by the federal government over this issue.
“We have to tackle this,” Kenney told members of the Legislature's Water and Natural Resources Committee, “and unfortunately we are tackling it as taxpayers, as opposed to the Department of Defense tackling it as the polluter.”
Records obtained by the state Environment Department through public record requests do not indicate plans by the federal government to clean up contamination beyond Cannon's boundaries.
The Air Force Civil Engineering Center announced earlier this spring that it was installing groundwater monitoring wells as a part of an investigation to determine the extent of potential PFAS compounds in groundwater from the base. The Air Force also installed filtration systems in 2021 and provided drinking water to some well owners who had their supplies tainted.
Advocates have long urged action on PFAS after thousands of communities detected PFAS chemicals in their water. PFAS chemicals have been confirmed at nearly 400 military installations and at least 200 million people in the United States are drinking water contaminated with PFAS, according to the Environmental Working Group, a research and advocacy organization.
In June, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency warned some PFAS compounds found in drinking water were more dangerous than previously thought and pose health risks even at low levels.
The agency issued health advisories that set thresholds for PFOA and PFOS to near zero, replacing 2016 guidelines that had set them at 70 parts per trillion.
Found in products including cardboard packaging, carpets and firefighting foam, the toxic industrial compounds are associated with serious health conditions, including cancer and reduced birth weight.
With the EPA posed to set a drinking water standard for the compounds later this year, New Mexico lawmakers asked if that would mean more drinking water wells in the Clovis area and those around Alamogordo — home to Holloman Air Force Base — would have to be shut down if the level of contamination is detectable.
Kenney said there are numerous sites around New Mexico — from a national guard armory in Rio Rancho to an old army depot east of Gallup — where there's suspected contamination.
Outside of Clovis, fourth generation dairy farmer Art Schaap had his livelihood destroyed by contamination from the nearby base. About 3,600 of his cows had to be euthanized, he had to let dozens of employees go, and it's unlikely his farm will ever be contamination-free.
He told lawmakers about the resulting financial ruin and the mental and physical anguish.
“We're just scratching the surface now with this problem,” Schaap said, warning that other dairies are next in line if the contamination isn't addressed.
The state has helped with the disposal of the toxic livestock carcasses and state officials vowed Thursday they would continue to the fight the Defense Department in court. A federal judge just last week dismissed the agency's lawsuit, saying it was a matter that needed to be decided by the New Mexico Court of Appeals.
Lawmakers suggested they might consider amending the state's hazardous waste law to remove any ambiguity regarding the Environment Department's authority for toxic chemicals like PFAS. They also discussed the possibility of an epidemiological study of residents and veterans to see if they have been exposed to the chemicals. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Forever-chemicals-pose-urgent-concern-in-New-17398838.php | 2022-08-25T23:13:29Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Forever-chemicals-pose-urgent-concern-in-New-17398838.php | true |
1A Remaking America: The Strength Of America's Social Safety Net
Now that Roe v. Wade is overturned, most Republican-led states are cracking down on abortion access.
New restrictions are going into effect this week in Idaho, Texas, and Tennessee. More than 20 million women have lost access to abortion in their home state, according to reporting from The Washington Post.
So how will this affect women? Researcher Diana Greene Foster conducted "The Turnaway Study", which followed hundreds of women for five years after they were denied an abortion. These women ended up being worse for wear financially and physically than their counterparts.
Reporting shows many states that have enacted abortion bans are less likely to offer expanded Medicaid coverage and guaranteed paid family leave. Just a few Republican lawmakers are pushing for more support at the federal level.
The 19th's Shefali Luthra, author and researcher Diana Greene Foster and Let Them Live's Emily Berning join us for the conversation.

Dianne Feinstein International Terminal to recognize Senator's efforts in returning ownership of ONT to local authority
ONTARIO, Calif., Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ontario International Airport (ONT) will honor a major influencer in the airport's return to local ownership by naming its international terminal after U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
The Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA) Board of Commissioners on Thursday unanimously approved the official naming of both its current Federal Inspection Station (FIS) facility and future terminal the Dianne Feinstein International Terminal. A formal dedication for the new name will take place this fall.
The new name will remain after a new international terminal is constructed. Plans for that facility are under development.
"We are honored to dedicate the current and future international facilities to Sen. Feinstein, whose years of support and advocacy were so critical in ONT's return to local ownership. She understood the importance of this airport not only to this community, but to air travel across Southern California and beyond. We are grateful for her work in bringing all sides together to ensure that Ontario International be returned to the community and region it serves," said Alan D. Wapner, President of the OIAA Board and Mayor pro Tem for the City of Ontario. "With her many years of service to our country, this is a very deserving honor."
Said Sen. Feinstein: "I was so proud to play a role in the expansion of Ontario International Airport, and I'm so pleased to watch ONT continue to grow its footprint in the region. I recall flying into Ontario every month when I served on the California Women's Board of Terms and Parole in the 1960s. Back then, ONT was just a regional airstrip, but today Ontario is a major international airport and an economic engine, and I'm honored to have helped spark that evolution."
Sen. Feinstein helped bring together leaders from the Inland Empire and Los Angeles following local concerns over a sharp decline in flights at ONT while under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles World Airports. In 2015, an agreement was reached to transfer ownership back to Ontario, and it was Sen. Feinstein who would later introduce legislation allowing that transfer to happen.
Since ONT's official return to local ownership on November 1, 2016, the airport has become one of the aviation industry's great success stories. In the first three years, passenger volumes increased 33%, and over the past five months, have exceeded pre-pandemic levels. New destinations since 2016 include Taiwan, El Salvador, Honolulu, Charlotte (NC), Austin (TX), and Newark, as well as the return of nonstop service to New York/JFK. Among the accolades the airport has received is the designation of Fastest-Growing Airport in the U.S., four years running, by Global Traveler.
On the cargo side, ONT has emerged as a global supply chain hub and now ranks among the Top 10 freight airports in North America.
About Ontario International Airport
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the fastest growing airport in the United States, according to Global Traveler, a leading publication for frequent fliers. Located in the Inland Empire, ONT is approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in the center of Southern California. It is a full-service airport which offers nonstop commercial jet service to 33 major airports in the U.S., Mexico, Central America and Taiwan. More information is available at www.flyOntario.com.

The OIAA was formed in August 2012 by a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Ontario and the County of San Bernardino to provide overall direction for the management, operations, development and marketing of ONT for the benefit of the Southern California economy and the residents of the airport's four-county catchment area. OIAA Commissioners are Ontario Mayor Pro Tem Alan D. Wapner (President), Retired Riverside Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge (Vice President), Ontario City Council Member Jim W. Bowman (Secretary), San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hagman (Commissioner) and retired business executive Julia Gouw (Commissioner).

In Howard County, the student member of the board of education plays more than just a symbolic role. The young person, who is elected by the county’s middle and high school students after a convention, decides on many of the matters before the board — including grading and attendance policies — just like their adult colleagues.
It was a position that did not necessarily draw that much attention until late 2020, when the student board member voted against reopening schools, leaving the board deadlocked at 4-4 and unable to move forward. Two parents, frustrated by the lack of action, sued the board, arguing that it was against the state’s constitution to allow a minor — selected by other minors — to serve on a school board.
This week, Maryland’s highest court ruled in favor of student school board members, saying the position did not violate the state’s constitution, which bars minors from voting or from serving in public office. The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that those provisions applied only to elected positions created by the state constitution — which does not include school boards. And it also pointed to the fact that state lawmakers had passed provisions in the 1970s and 1980s creating and defining the student school board positions, affirming their constitutionality.
The law creating the Howard County school board member position passed the General Assembly in 2007. The student must be a Howard County resident and either a junior or senior in one of its public schools.
Traci Spiegel and Kimberly Ford, the two mothers who brought the lawsuit, were frustrated by the court’s decision, and said Marylanders would be stunned to learn that student school board members, elected by children as young as 11 years old, have some of the same voting powers that adult members have.
“We are extremely disappointed with today’s ruling permitting a 16-17 year old minor — elected by 11-17 year old minors — to cast binding votes on the Howard County BOE,” they wrote in a statement. “Our disappointment should be nothing, however, compared to Marylanders’ shock when they learn that the State Constitution does not apply whatsoever when it comes who serves on and who selects Members of local BOEs. And by whatsoever we literally mean anyone and anything including 5-year-olds, non-Marylanders, anyone. We ask community members that are paying taxes — where does this end?”
In an interview, Spiegel said she did not believe a teenager has the “life experience” to make decisions for the county’s 58,000 students, and worried that adult board members were using the youths as pawns to advance their own agendas. She was frustrated, she said, to see a student board member lead the effort to get police out of Howard County schools.
“It was mind-numbing that a 17-year-old could help decide that 58,000 children could not go to school,” said Spiegel, who works in marketing and had two children at Glenelg High School when the lawsuit started. One has since graduated.
“We just don’t think that a student who is 16 and 17 years old has the life experience to decide what happens to 58,000 students.”
Abisola Ayoola, 16, a rising junior at Wilde Lake High who was just elected and sworn in to serve on Howard County’s board of education, said no one is better positioned to decide what students need than students themselves. Ayoola has been involved with the student board member elections since she was in sixth grade, when she first attended the convention to select the candidates.
“We are showing students that their voices are valuable and that we actually believe in what they have to say and what they want in their education,” Ayoola said. If students could not weigh in with a vote, “there’s no accountability.”
Maryland has been a vanguard on youth civic engagement in part because its constitution has made it easy for communities to pass measures to lower the voting age. Five communities — Takoma Park, Hyattsville, Greenbelt, Riverdale Park and Mount Rainer — permit 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in local elections. They are the only communities in the nation where the voting age has been lowered to 16.
Berkeley and Oakland, Calif., both passed measures lowering the voting age for school board races, but the laws have yet to be implemented.
Student members of eight school boards across Maryland have voting rights, as does the student member of the state board of education. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/08/25/student-voters-school-board-maryland/ | 2022-08-25T23:22:15Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/08/25/student-voters-school-board-maryland/ | true |

Among the accolades the airport has received is the designation of Fastest-Growing Airport in the U.S., four years running, by Global Traveler.
On the cargo side, ONT has emerged as a global supply chain hub and now ranks among the Top 10 freight airports in North America.

(The Hill) – Google in a letter to lawmakers on Thursday said it would clearly identify facilities that provide abortions to ensure people seeking the procedure are not misled by anti-abortion clinics.
Mark Isakowitz, the vice president for government affairs and public policy for the U.S. and Canada at Google, said in a letter to Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) that the company will include labels like “Provides abortions” and “Does not provide abortions” that the company has verified at the top of advertisement search results.
The change could help prevent women from seeking the procedure at clinics that oppose abortion or crisis pregnancy centers, which work to convince people against having the procedure.
The announcement comes in response to a letter Warner, Slotkin and other members of Congress sent to the CEO of Google in June to urge him to prevent misleading abortion search results.
The lawmakers said in the letter that 37 percent of Google Maps results and 11 percent of search results for “abortion clinics near me” and “abortion pill” in states with abortion trigger bans were for anti-abortion clinics.
A Google spokesperson told The Hill that the company has been working for months to find more useful ways to display results that show the specific services that businesses offer.
The spokesperson said the update that Google is introducing will help users find locations that offer the services they search for or broaden their results so they can see more options. The company will confirm that certain places provide a service through regularly calling them directly and collaborating with “authoritative” data sources.
“When people turn to Google to find local information, we aim to help them easily explore the range of places available so they can determine which are most helpful to them,” the spokesperson said.
The updates will affect how Google shows search results and maps to give people additional context about what they are viewing, according to a Google spokesperson.
The company will include the note “Might not provide abortions” when it is unable to verify information.
Google will also allow users to expand their search radius if the most relevant results are not nearby.
Warner said in a release that the changes are not about restricting speech but providing results that accurately address a search.
“I welcome the changes that Google has announced today so that women seeking abortion services aren’t directed towards fake clinics that traffic in misinformation and don’t provide comprehensive health services,” he said. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/google-to-clearly-label-facilities-that-provide-abortions-2/ | 2022-08-25T23:27:05Z | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/google-to-clearly-label-facilities-that-provide-abortions-2/ | false |
NFL Top 100: Best 20 football players of 2022 to be revealed originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
The NFL regular season is just around the corner and we’re already getting a taste for what to expect around the league.
In addition to the preseason games of the past month, the NFL has rolled out 80% of the list of top-100 players in 2022. The list of players 21-100 is available here.
Here’s everything you need to know about the top-20 players and how the list is shaping up.
Who are the NFL’s top-20 players of 2022?
The NFL on Thursday provided a teaser, revealing the top-20 players in alphabetical order:
- Davante Adams (WR), Las Vegas Raiders
- Josh Allen (QB), Buffalo Bills
- Tom Brady (QB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Aaron Donald (OT), Los Angeles Rams
- Myles Garrett (DE), Cleveland Browns
- Derrick Henry (RB), Tennessee Titans
- Tyreek Hill (WR), Miami Dolphins
- J.C. Jackson (CB), Los Angeles Chargers
- Justin Jefferson (WR), Minnesota Vikings
- Travis Kelce (TE), Kansas City Chiefs
- Cooper Kupp (WR), Los Angeles Rams
- Shaquille Leonard (LB), Indianapolis Colts
- Patrick Mahomes (QB), Kansas City Chiefs
- Micah Parsons (LB), Dallas Cowboys
- Jalen Ramsey (CB), Los Angeles Rams
- Aaron Rodgers (QB), Green Bay Packers
- Deebo Samuel (WR), San Francisco 49ers
- Jonathan Taylor (RB), Indianapolis Colts
- T.J. Watt (LB), Pittsburgh Steelers
- Trent Williams (T), San Francisco 49ers
What position has the most players in the NFL’s top-20 list in 2022?
Sports
Wide receivers lead the pack of 20, accounting for 25% of the list. They’re followed closely by a quarterback quartet of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.
What team has the most players in the NFL’s top-20 list in 2022?
The Rams may have lost Von Miller to the Bills, but their locker room remains stacked, if the players have anything to say about it. The defending Super Bowl champions lead the way with three players in the top-20: defensive tackle Aaron Donald, cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver and Super Bowl LVI MVP Cooper Kupp.
The Rams play caller -- quarterback Matthew Stafford -- just missed the cut when he was announced as the No. 27 player in the league last week.
The 49ers, Colts and Chiefs are the only other teams to crack the list multiple times -- each with two players apiece.
When will the exact order for the top-20 players of 2022 be revealed?
The top-20 spots will be revealed in the final segment of “Top 100 Players of 2022” on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. In addition to airing on the NFL Network, episodes are also available on Peacock.
Who determines the NFL’s top-100 players of the 2022 season?
The NFL’s top-100 players list is unique in that it polls the players themselves.
Most lists and honors defer to coaches, fans or members of the media, but the league asks players to weigh in ahead of the season. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/sports/nfl-top-100-best-20-football-players-of-2022-to-be-revealed/3839614/ | 2022-08-25T23:28:02Z | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/sports/nfl-top-100-best-20-football-players-of-2022-to-be-revealed/3839614/ | false |
Okay, as much as we love a good twerk, we have to realize that there’s a time and a place.
That’s the lesson that rapper Erica Banks is learning after her recent appearance at a high school pep rally went viral. The Shade Room shared footage of the “Buss It” rapper performing at Frederick Douglass High School in Atlanta, where she popped her bountiful cakes to the amusement of the entire student body.
Needless to say, while the students were clearly amused (especially the football team), folks on Twitter were up in arms. One Twitter user, @sbaker_17, tweeted, “Mind you she at a high school!! Why tf you twerking for children!” Another user, @taóharajuku, posted, “girl you was twerking on some 16 year olds. you shouldnt even be worried about going viral, you shoulda been disgusted in yo self. who tf wants to twerk on some lil ass boys. its like you begging for the attention.”
Banks has responded to the backlash on The Neighborhood Talk’s IG, saying, “Girl, didn’t nobody touch them kids, clearly. We had a great time, good day.”
Check out more reactions below!

Actor Ben Savage is running for a seat on the city council in West Hollywood, Calif., saying he wants to “restore faith” in local government with “reasonable, innovative and compassionate” solutions to the city’s problems.
Savage, who starred as Cory Matthews on the ABC sitcom “Boy Meets World” from 1993 to 2000, says on his campaign website that he is an 18-year resident of the city, union member and concerned citizen who wants to produce results for West Hollywood.
“We need to increase and expand access to all the great opportunities West Hollywood affords, by ensuring that every member of the community has the tools they need to succeed,” he said.
Savage’s website states that his priorities include enhancing community safety by providing law enforcement with the resources they need to protect community members while increasing funding for community safety partners like health services and clinical case workers.
He said he wants to fight to support renters’ rights to keep them in their homes despite rising prices and to expand housing services that the city offers.
“West Hollywood is known all over the world as a warm and supportive city,” the website states. “We value diversity and community above all. But as housing costs rise, we are failing to live up to those values.”
Savage also emphasized that he is not part of “the political machine” and does not have an interest in serving interest groups. He said the city needs new leaders to tackle the issues it is facing.
Savage reportedly has some prior experience in the political realm as he interned for former Sen. Arlen Specter (D) of Pennsylvania in 2003 while studying political science at Stanford University.
Savage’s campaign did not immediately return a request from The Hill for further comment. | https://www.wivb.com/hill-politics/former-boy-meets-world-actor-ben-savage-running-for-city-council-in-west-hollywood/ | 2022-08-25T23:37:40Z | https://www.wivb.com/hill-politics/former-boy-meets-world-actor-ben-savage-running-for-city-council-in-west-hollywood/ | false |

Historic Macon announces 2022 Fading Five list of endangered historic structures
Historic Macon announced its updated Fading Five list of endangered historic structures Thursday.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Historic Macon announced its updated Fading Five list of endangered historic structures Thursday.
2022 marks the program’s eighth year. It targets historic sites in Macon-Bibb County that could be lost due to development issues or neglect.
The Executive Director of Historic Macon, Ethiel Garlington, says it’s important to keep Macon’s history standing.
“People are moving to Macon, people are opening businesses here in downtown because of the buildings that are here, because of those stories, and because of the legacies that we have here,” Garlington said. “I think it will continue to drive our economic development, because it’s all still here.”
The newest addition to list is the Dr. E.E. Green House on 335 Madison St.
Dr. Green was born a slave and graduated from Howard University Medical School in 1886 before his family moved to Macon. Four years later, he would build the house in the center of Macon’s Pleasant Hill neighborhood. Green would move his pharmacy, Central City Drug, into his house and would become the first African American pharmacist in Macon.
In 1950, the store was turned into apartment building. The house has been vacant since the 2000s.
Garlington says Historic Macon is eager to work with the owners of the property to rehabilitate the house and save its history.
“I think it’s important not only for the preservation of the building but also the preservation of that story and to show people that there is opportunity in our community,” Garlington said.
Historic Macon did remove one item from the Fading Five: the Coal Tower located on 989 Seventh St.
It was on the list in 2018, but has since been bought by new owners who plan to preserve it. Attorney Taylor Martin with Martin LLC., who represents the landowners of the property, say they’re excited to bring life back to the iconic structure.
“They recognize that these 22 acres of undeveloped land and this wonderful coal tower over a unique opportunity for development in downtown Macon and to add to its growth,” Martin said.
The 2022 Fading Five List:
- The Dr. E.E. Green house, 335 Madison St.
- The Willingham-McBrearty House, 381 College St.
- The Roxy Theatre, 445 Hazel St.
- The Bobby Jones Performing Arts Center, 1389 Jefferson St.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler was put on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis Thursday, a move that came three hours after Philadelpia announced slugger Bryce Harper was set to return from a broken thumb.
Wheeler, 32, is 11-7 with a 3.07 ERA in 23 starts. The right-hander finished second in the NL Cy Young Award race behind Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes last year after throwing the most innings in the majors at 213 1/3.
“He's not happy,” Phillies president Dave Dombrowski said. “But I think he understands that this is the wise thing to do.”
In his last outing on Saturday, Wheeler hit 97 mph on the radar gun, but struggled with command in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed four runs and threw 106 pitches in an 8-2 loss to the New York Mets, his former team.
“Just like a lot of guys, he's dealt with some of these issues in the past,” Dombrowski said. “He dealt with it last year. So it is one of those things. that pitchers deal with it. He's been dealing with this. It is one of those things that maybe has bothered him a little more."
Left-hander Bailey Falter is expected to make the start on Friday night against Pittsburgh in Wheeler's place.
Dombrowski said Wheeler would miss two starts — against the Pirates and next week on Philadelphia's trip to Arizona and San Francisco. No MRI has been scheduled to examine Wheeler's forearm, a sign that the Phillies are not overly concerned about the severity of the injury.
“We felt that it was better to deal with this right now and to get it over with,” Dombrowski said.
The Phillies are second in the NL wild-card race. Harper, the reigning NL MVP, is coming off the IL on Friday after being sidelined in late June when a pitch broke his left thumb.

Police: Man arrested after writing more than $150,000 in fake checks to buy new cars
MADISONVILLE, Texas (KBTX/Gray News) - A Texas man is accused of writing fraudulent checks to buy several vehicles totaling more than $150,000.
According to the Madisonville Police Department, 66-year-old Larry Allen Dodd went to a Ford dealership this past weekend to purchase a 2021 F-350 King Ranch truck. Dodd reportedly wrote a check for $89,562.44.
KBTX reports Dodd then went to a Dodge dealership on Monday to purchase a 2021 Jeep for a female companion, where he wrote a $64,494.11 check for the vehicle.
Authorities said the Henson Brand Dealerships were then alerted by the Hempstead Police Department regarding Dodd purchasing two other vehicles in the Houston area with fraudulent checks.
The dealership said it confirmed with the Woodforest National Bank that Dodd’s checks were fraudulent and that the funds weren’t available.
Madisonville police said officers were able to make contact with the 66-year-old as he was driving back to the Ford dealership on Tuesday to get new tires.
According to officers, Dodd provided false reasons for not having funds in the account while making made-up calls to the bank as they didn’t find any valid bank contacts on his cellphone.
The Madisonville Police Department said Dodd has been arrested and charged with theft between $150,000 and $300,000.

Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims goes public with trade request through his agent... saying 'it's just time' to move on from New York
- The former second-round pick has been passed over by other players at wideout
- Mims' agent says despite his work & effort he's been given no starting chances
- The Baylor product hasn't impressed this preseason, catching under 100 yards
Former second-round draft pick Denzel Mims is ready to move on from the team that drafted him, publicly declaring a trade request on Twitter on Thursday.
After multiple challengers for playing time have been drafted and acquired by the New York Jets, Mims no longer feels there's a place for him in the team according to his agent, Ron Slavin (via NFL Network's Ian Rapoport).
'It's just time. Denzel tried in good faith but it's clear he does not have a future with the Jets,' Slavin said in a statement.
Third year wide receiver Denzel Mims thinks it's time for him to move on from the Jets
Mims was drafted in the 2nd round out of Baylor, but has been passed over by other players
'Denzel vowed to come back better than ever this season and worked extremely hard in the offseason to make that happen. Still, he has been given no opportunities with the starting offense to get in a groove with them.
'We feel at this point a trade is our only option, since the Jets have told us repeatedly they will not release him. Joe Douglas has always done right by Denzel and we trust he will do everything in his power to find another team where Denzel can be a contributor.'
Mims was drafted 59th overall in the 2nd round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Baylor, playing in nine games as a rookie.
In that time, he caught 23 passes on 44 targets for 357 yards, but in the offseason, the entire coaching staff that drafted him was fired.
After being drafted, the Jets signed Corey Davis in free agency and drafted Elijah Moore out of Ole Miss and Garrett Wilson out of Ohio State.
Mims only managed eight catches on 23 targets last season for 133 yards, last making a catch on December 12th in a game against Philadelphia.
During this preseason, Mims has made minimal contributions. He has a total of five catches on nine targets for 68 total yards.

WATCH: Porch pirates fill shopping cart with stolen packages as they walk through neighborhood
LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) - A group of porch pirates was caught on camera stealing packages and putting them in a shopping cart as they walked through a Las Vegas neighborhood.
KVVU reports it was almost as if they were shopping in a store.
Resident Hugo Organista said he had gotten a notification about a package he ordered being delivered to his home over the weekend. He said his partner asked if he wanted to have someone pick it up for them, but he declined.
“When we got home on Sunday night, we pulled into the driveway, and I was poking my head out, looking for the package because I was kind of excited to open it,” Organista said.
However, the package was nowhere to be found, so Organista watched the security video.
All of the cameras and the security system at Organista’s home didn’t deter the thieves; they just captured them in the act.
“I could have very easily called a neighbor or a friend or somebody to come to pick it up, but I honestly just didn’t think that this one time it would happen,” Organista said.
Organista said he would make sure deliveries are only scheduled when he is home from now on.
He filed a claim with the store where the package was purchased, but they denied it because they said it had been delivered. He also reached out to his credit card company and believes the purchase protection policy will cover him.

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Wednesday, President Biden announced some student loan debt will be forgiven. Critics of this decision say it doesn't address the root of the problem — high and rising costs of college and university.
Senator Ben Sasse is one of them. Thursday, he told 3 News Now, President Biden's plan "just baptized the most broken parts of higher ed."
"Fundamentally, our American higher education system is broken. It’s not serving nearly enough people, and those who do attend, well enough. It’s never been more important to have a functioning dynamic higher ed system, but we need to recognize most people are not going to go four years continuous, in residence full time, while not working from 18 to 22, and then be done forever. The economy is being disrupted," Sasse said.
We took a look at the cost of tuition and fees for UNL. In the 2007-2008 school year, tuition and fees for an in-state student living on campus was $6,216. In 2021-2022, it was $9,872. That's a 58.8% increase in 15 years.
The Senator says we need to look at other options. He suggests more micro-credentials, stackable credentials, rigor and "clarity about what assessment looks like in higher ed."
Sasse served as the President of Midland University for about four years. When asked by 3 News Now, with his experience in higher education, why he believes higher education is so expensive and continues to rise, he said "there are a bunch of accreditation cartels right now that make it really difficult for any new entrance to get into higher education and to compete, and put pressure on the exit system, that don’t work very well."
EducationQuest, a nonprofit that helps students find college funding, suggests families and students look at scholarships and financial aid early, — even in their freshman and sophomore year of high school — to offset the rising cost of education. They say to submit your FASFA as soon as it becomes available. | https://www.3newsnow.com/news/education/senator-ben-sasse-tells-3-news-now-student-loan-debt-forgiveness-doesnt-address-the-root-of-the-issue | 2022-08-26T00:00:28Z | https://www.3newsnow.com/news/education/senator-ben-sasse-tells-3-news-now-student-loan-debt-forgiveness-doesnt-address-the-root-of-the-issue | true |

NYC officials claim Texas using wristbands to barcode migrants bused to city
NEW YORK - Five buses carrying a total of 223 migrants and asylum seekers from Texas arrived at the Port Authority Terminal on Thursday, just a day after 237 asylum seekers arrived, setting a record for the most migrants to make their way to New York City in a single day.
City officials say that over 7,000 migrants are now in shelters across the city.
New York City officials have expressed concerns that some of the migrants who have arrived were wearing bracelets with barcodes on them.
"Governor Abbott is now bar-coding asylum seekers," said Manuel Castro, Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs. "Yesterday we witnessed how they were scanning and removing barcodes from asylum seekers as they were arriving. He is treating people as less than human, he is treating them as cattle, we have been condemning this type of behavior, he is attempting to dehumanize people."
RELATED: One-day record number of migrants arrive in NYC
Castro said that many of the people wanted to get off the bus in different states, but were afraid to do so, fearing they were being tracked.
Abbott accused New York City Mayor Eric Adams of hypocrisy in an essay written in the New York Post on Wednesday.
"Adams talked the talk about being a sanctuary city — welcoming illegal immigrants into the Big Apple with warm hospitality. Talk is cheap. When pressed into fulfilling such ill-considered policies, he wants to condemn anyone who is pressing him to walk the walk," Abbott wrote.
RELATED: Asylum seekers caught in political battle in NYC, DC
Meanwhile, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander said that with more and more migrants arriving, the city's resources were being stretched thin.
Castro confirmed Thursday that the city already has a location arranged for a welcome center where asylum seekers will be able to go and get the services they need and that the center will open next week.
Whether more buses will arrive tomorrow, officials said they couldn't say. | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-officials-claim-texas-using-wristbands-to-barcode-migrants | 2022-08-26T00:01:36Z | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-officials-claim-texas-using-wristbands-to-barcode-migrants | true |
Emily Atack puts on a busty display in a plunging floral dress as she continues her sunny Spanish getaway
Fans have been petitioning for her to take over as the next Love Island host after Laura Whitmore quit her presenting role this week.
And amid the buzz around her next career move, Emily Atack was busy sunning herself in Spain on Thursday as she enjoying a relaxing getaway.
Taking to her Instagram, the actress, 32, put on a very busty display in a plunging blue dress as she showcased her newly sun-kissed skin.
'Siesta, fiesta, you know the resta': Emily Atack, 32, put on a busty display in a plunging floral dress as she continued her sunny Spanish getaway on Thursday
The frock featured a sweet floral print and ribbon ties, as well as a thigh-high split that flashed a glimpse of her toned legs.
Emily beamed in the snaps as she wore her blonde tresses in braids and accentuated her beauty with a gorgeous bronze palette of make-up.
The Celebrity Juice star accessorised the summery look with a selection of gold jewellery as she toted her belongings in a straw clutch.
Blinded by the sun: Emily beamed in the snaps as she wore her blonde tresses in braids and accentuated her beauty with a gorgeous palette of make-up
Heading to dinner she playfully captioned the snaps: 'Siesta, fiesta, you know the resta'.
Emily kept her 1.8million followers up to date on her evening as she shared pictures of the lavish meal she enjoyed with friends.
After cocktails the group returned to the hotel, stopping to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous sunset.

Yummy: Emily kept her 1.8Million followers up to date on her evening as she shared pictures of the lavish meal she enjoyed with pals
After three series, the Irish TV star Laura, 37, confirmed that she was walking away from the hugely popular ITV2 show which she took over as host of from her late friend Caroline Flack.
And fans have thrown big names from British telly into the mix, including AJ Odudu, Emily and this year's winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu.
Fans of the hit show took to Twitter within seconds of the announcement to share who they hope will take over from her - with Bristol born beauty Maya Jama a runaway favourite with fans.
Sorry: Earlier in the day she took to Instagram Stories to apologise for calling her drink a 'slushy'
Gorgeous: After cocktails the group returned to the hotel, stopping to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous sunset
Fun in the sun: She playfully captioned the snaps: 'Siesta, fiesta, you know the resta'
Another contender among fans is Emily, who stars on Celebrity Juice with Laura, with one fan declaring 'she is definitely going to be in the running' as they pointed out her long history with ITV.
Ladbrokes has opened betting on who will replace Laura with Maya chalked up as the early favourite at odds of 3/1, ahead of Emily at 4/1.
Former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins is also high on the list at odds of 5/1 to land the high profile gig.
Host: Laura, 37, joined Love Island back in 2020 and has hosted the hugely popular reality TV show for three series before announcing her departure earlier this week
Other names include Rylan Clark at 8/1 and Mo Gilligan at 14/1, with Vicky Pattinson a 25/1 outsider.
In her statement, Laura said she was only planning to fill in for Caroline for one series, emotionally saying that she hope she did her late friend 'proud'.
The TV presenter's stint on the ITV2 dating show received mixed reviews this season; some viewers praised her handling of sensitive topics, while others criticised her for 'encouraging slut-shaming' in a segment which sparked 427 Ofcom complaints.

There is a growing problem between FedEx and these contractors, who deliver a huge amount of the packages.
Many of these contractors, who work delivering packages for FedEx's Ground business, report that they are losing money in the deals. This comes even while revenues have reportedly jumped over 60% since before the start of the pandemic, CNN Business reported.
Deutsche Bank reported that higher costs for almost everything, including for vehicles, wages, and gas, have caused at least 30% of contractors to lose money.
Around 3,500 FedEx Ground contractors, along with other professionals in the industry, gathered at the Route Consultant's 2022 Contractor Expo in Las Vegas in August to discuss inflation-based contractual challenges facing the industry.
Spencer Patton, Founder and President of Route Consultant, said, "I want to see FedEx Ground remember their identity. FedEx Ground is an amazing delivery company," he said. "They are a $60 billion company that could be a $120 billion company if we can work together through these challenges."
Patton's company is one of the largest contractors with FedEx Ground and is one of the most vocal critics of the company's work with contractors. Patton also wants customers to know that it's mostly contractors delivering packages for FedEx.
Suggestions at the conference included ending Sunday deliveries, contract changes that come with consultations with contractors first, and demands that FedEx train and work with staff better to "restore appropriate communication."
Patton said the current model "is hurting to a degree where my company individually has to see change from FedEx Ground.”
Patton urged FedEx not to "jam" contractual changes on contractors with 30-day notice.
Patton, as Supply Chain Dive noted, said during his speech that he would stop operating his delivery routes as of Nov. 25 unless FedEx makes updates to the terms of his contract.
“My business is losing money every day,” Patton said. “And my business will not be able to continue operation past Nov. 25. Peak season is one of highest cost of operations time of the year. I have to double the number of trucks, hire drivers. I will not do so if things don’t change,” he said.
FedEx responded saying:
“We recognize that current economic conditions are posing new challenges,” FedEx Ground said. “We remain committed to working with service provider businesses individually to address the challenges specific to their situation. Our goal is to enable success for both FedEx Ground and service providers,” the statement said.
As CNN Business reported, FedEx Ground replied with multiple contractor statements saying they feel they are doing alright financially but still had concerns about what would happen if a "significant" number of contractors halted operations citing financial concerns. | https://www.lex18.com/news/national/threats-to-halt-holiday-deliveries-after-contractors-demand-fedex-change-terms-of-agreements | 2022-08-26T00:09:36Z | https://www.lex18.com/news/national/threats-to-halt-holiday-deliveries-after-contractors-demand-fedex-change-terms-of-agreements | true |
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said Thursday that he plans to debate independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin as the two vie for the Utah seat in November’s general election.
“I’m glad that you finally committed to debate me, Mike. Utahns deserve a chance to hear from both of us. Our campaign met the deadline—the ball is in your court now,” McMullin wrote on Twitter, referring to a Monday deadline he said was set by the state’s Debate Commission.
Lee defeated his Republican challengers in the GOP primary for the seat earlier this year and has been leading McMullin in some polling, but the sitting senator and the independent challenger have yet to go head-to-head in debate.
As reported in local outlet KUTV, in the lead-up to the primary Lee attended a Utah GOP-sponsored debate but skipped one hosted by the non-partisan Utah Debate Commission, where an empty podium stood on the debate stage in his place.
“I look forward to debating Evan McMullin on the important issues facing our country. My team has been working with the Debate Commission to secure a date, and I can assure you we will come up with a time that works,” Lee wrote on Twitter Thursday when McMullin confronted him about the Debate Commission’s upcoming deadline.
Independent McMullin, who made a third-party bid for the presidency in 2016, was backed by Utah Democrats earlier this year in a rare move aimed at ousting the Republican incumbent.
Lee, endorsed by former President Trump, has held the Senate seat since 2011. The Hill has reached out to Lee’s campaign and the Utah Debate Commission for comment.
Lee is “slow-walking debate negotiations” in the face of “a neck-and-neck reelection challenge” from McMullin, a spokesperson for McMullin’s campaign told The Hill in a statement.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report last week changed its rating for the Utah Senate race from “Solid R” to “Likely R.” Sabato’s Crystal Ball, the election handicapper from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, amended its “Safe Republican” rating to “Likely Republican” after the June primaries. | https://www.wfla.com/hill-politics/mike-lee-agrees-to-senate-debate-against-evan-mcmullin/ | 2022-08-26T00:09:43Z | https://www.wfla.com/hill-politics/mike-lee-agrees-to-senate-debate-against-evan-mcmullin/ | true |
Schools work to combat low economic well-being rating
SHARP COUNTY, Ark. (KAIT) - Schools in North Arkansas are working to combat the state’s low economic well-being rating.
Arkansas ranked 43rd in the nation for total economic well-being.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, most schools have taken some type of financial hit, and the effects are affecting the parents of students as they return to the classroom.
Schools in Sharp County are trying to help to their part to help those struggling families.
Studies from the US Census Bureau showed about 18% of Sharp County’s population was in poverty.
The Highland School District is one of the many school districts with programs to help those that need assistance.
Student Services Director Kara McEntire said the school offers multiple food programs and free lunches for all its students.
“Currently, we serve free meals to all students in our districts because we qualified at the free and reduced rate at over 70%, and we participate in the CEP [Community Eligibility Program],” she said.
McEntire said the school tries its best to help those that need food in their cabinets.
“We have a weekly backpack program on each one of our campuses. We also utilize some federal funding that we have available to us for any students that are considered to be homeless. We have local programs, including the school district’s charitable fund that assists students in need,” she said.
For those who are afraid to ask for help, McEntire said they should know that schools are ready to help the best they can.
“Sometimes, our teachers recognize those that are in need, but sometimes, those needs are not always known, so if you feel that your child needs assistance, feel free to reach out to your building’s principal. Students and family members may also contact me at the central office, and we will provide any assistance that we are able to,” she said.
For more information on how you can get help, visit the Highland School District’s website.

(KRON) — A 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera S that was driven by Paul Pelosi on the night he got a DUI back in May is up for auction, according to a report from TMZ. An auction listing at Copart appears to back up TMZ’s reporting.
The damaged 911 in the listing is currently at a lot in Martinez. The estimated retail value for the Porsche is $168,576.22, although there will assumedly be some knocked off the price due to damages from the accident that led to Pelosi’s DUI arrest. According to the auction listing, the car’s primary damage is on the side with secondary damage on the undercarriage.
The 6-cylinder Porsche is listed as having an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, was driving the Porsche back in May when it was struck by a Jeep in a non-injury collision. Dashcam footage obtained by KRON4 this week showed Pelosi refusing a breathalyzer and instead asking for a field sobriety test. He did not pass.
In addition to the damage on the side and undercarriage of the car listed on the auction site, images obtained by KRON4 of the crash site also indicate significant damage to the car’s backend. Images from the auction website showing the damage to the car appear to match those of the crash photos obtained by KRON.
There is no date listed for when the car goes up for auction. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/california/paul-pelosis-porsche-up-for-auction-following-dui-crash-tmz/ | 2022-08-26T00:10:10Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/california/paul-pelosis-porsche-up-for-auction-following-dui-crash-tmz/ | true |

The star kept it casual for the day as she also sported a pair of cream sandals and added to her look with a gold necklace.
Wearing her locks in a poker straight style, Maya complimented her outfit with a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses.
The outing comes after Maya and Vick Hope were named as the two front runners to take over Laura Whitmore's Love Island presenting job.
According to The Sun, Maya and TV and radio star Vick, 32, are reportedly being considered first by ITV bosses for the role to bring a 'cooler edge' to the show.

Irish TV star Laura revealed her shock decision to quit her job after three years on Monday - blaming, in part, the format of the show for her career choice.
A TV source told the publication of Maya and Vick: 'They're viewed as two glamorous, fun figures who would also bring a slightly cooler edge to the format.
'Over the past three years they've both seen their careers go from strength to strength, and have the high profile to match that of the hit ITV show.
'It's going to be a close call who ITV bosses will pick in the end.'
Representatives for Maya, Vick and ITV have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Career move: Maya and Vick Hope are the two front runners to take over Laura Whitmore's Love Island presenting job, a report has claimed

Laura may have only announced she was quitting as Love Island host on Monday evening, but already fans are speculating as to who will take over.
Lovers of the show have thrown other big names from British telly into the mix, including AJ Odudu, Emily Atack and this year's winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu.
Fans of the hit show took to Twitter within seconds of the announcement to share who they hope will take over from her - with Bristol born beauty Maya a runaway favourite with fans.

'So Laura Whitmore is stepping down from #LoveIsland - can someone clear @MayaJama 's diary for the winter and summer please,' one said.
Another wrote: 'Maya Jama should host love island. She was in the line up of who would host it when Caroline flack left before the first winter one started #loveisland.'
A third suggested: 'Petition for @MayaJama to be the new love island host #loveisland.'
Another contender among fans is Emily Atack, who stars on Celebrity Juice with Laura, with one fan declaring 'she is definitely going to be in the running' as they pointed out her long history with ITV.
Popular choice: Another contender among fans is Emily Atack, who stars on Celebrity Juice with Laura
Another runner for the coveted title was AJ Odudu as one fan tweeted: 'Also please add in @AJOdudu as an option to present #LoveIsland thanks. I can already imagine her strutting into the villa ready to unleash the DRAMA.'
One AJ fan pointed out the presenter has experience hosting live reality TV shows as she hosted the Married At First Sight UK spin-off last year.
'I would love AJ Odudu to do it. She's brilliant on MAFS after show.' Another simply stated that the beauty 'would kill the slow mo walk'.
Meanwhile, this years winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was also a firm favourite, a social media user commented: 'I would love Ekin-Su or Maya Jama to host love island. #LoveIsland.'
Contender: Meanwhile, this years winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was also a firm favourite for the role among fans
Another echoed: 'Is Ekinsu coming? Laura is leaving #LoveIsland.'
Mentioning another former contestant, a user wrote: 'Top 3 to be in the running to replace Laura whitmore… @ekinsuofficial @MayaJama and @MauraHiggins #loveisland.'
Other fans even petitioned to get Ekin's boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti to co-host. 'Ekin-Su to present with Davide taking Stirling's job! Can you even imagine his one liners.'
Others though were keen to see Love Island superfan Sam Thompson get a chance at the hosting gig.
Host: Laura, 37, joined Love Island back in 2020 and has hosted the hugely popular reality TV show for three series
The former Made In Chelsea star famously shared his love for the show this year when he watched along with his Instagram followers, and his ex Love Island contestant girlfriend Zara McDermott.
'Get an ACTUAL Love Island fan who enjoys to host the show like Sam Thompson' tweeted one viewer.
'I'm sorry but Sam Thompson should be the new host of Love Island!! I crack up at his videos every night whilst watching it and he would 10000% give it his all!' agreed another.
Leaving: But on Monday, the star took to her Instagram to confirm that she would be leaving the show, saying she has found flying back and forth from the villa 'very difficult'
Sam's girlfriend Zara seemed to back Sam when she posted on Instagram on Monday:
'Massive respect to you @thewhitmore a wonderful host with gorgeous energy! I wonder who will host it next though?'
Ladbrokes has opened betting on who will replace Laura with Maya chalked up as the early favourite at odds of 3/1, ahead of Emily at 4/1.
Former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins is also high on the list at odds of 5/1 to land the high profile gig.
Other names include Rylan Clark at 8/1 and Mo Gilligan at 14/1, with Vicky Pattinson a 25/1 outsider.
In her statement, Laura said she was only planning to fill in for Caroline for one series, emotionally saying that she hope she did her late friend 'proud'.
The TV presenter's stint on the ITV2 dating show received mixed reviews this season; some viewers praised her handling of sensitive topics, while others criticised her for 'encouraging slut-shaming' in a segment which sparked 427 Ofcom complaints.
Taking to Instagram, Laura said: 'Some news! I won't be hosting the next series of Love island.
Huge fan: Others though were keen to see Love Island super fan Sam Thompson get a chance at the hosting gig
'There are certain elements of the show I've found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects.
'I wish it was still possible but know you'll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into 3 series.
'I hope I did you proud Caroline.'
Speaking of Laura's exit, an ITV spokesperson said: 'Laura has been a fantastic host across the last three series of the show.
'We are so grateful for everything she has brought to the programme but understand and respect her decision, and we look forward to working with her on upcoming ITV projects.'
ITV have not announced who will be replacing Laura as the show's host for the upcoming winter series of Love Island at the start of 2023.
Laura - who shares daughter Stevie Ré with Love Island narrator husband Iain Stirling - took over as Love Island host for the 2020 winter series in South Africa.
She has since hosted series seven and eight of the ITV2 dating show, with the latest series seeing Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti crowned as winners earlier this month.
Tribute: Laura said she was only planning to fill in for former host Caroline Flack - who took her own life in February 2020 - for one series, saying she hope she did her late friend 'proud'
The presenter previously hosted I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW! for five series starting in 2011 while she was also a Eurovision commentator in 2014.
Laura also competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2016 with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, but was the fifth celebrity to be voted out.
The model is making a change in her career as she is set to make her West End debut as Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story in September.
Lily Allen, Tom Felton, Mandip Gill and Giovanna Fletcher have previously starred in the popular theatre production, with Laura set to perform alongside Felix Scott, Tamsin Carroll and Matt Willis.

Which photo backdrop stand is best?
Are you a professional photographer looking to prepare your studio or find a background for an outdoor portrait shoot? You’ve likely thought about buying a photo backdrop stand. Instead of having to change locations or shoot on a plain wall, you can take pictures with just about any background that can be hung on a stand. What’s more, you can change backgrounds quickly and easily. For professional quality and durability, the Limo Studio Heavy-Duty Backdrop ranks as a top pick.
What to know before you buy a photo backdrop stand
Materials
The materials that make up your backdrop stand will help determine its weight limit, general strength and durability. Typically, the tubing that makes up a frame isn’t made of just one material, but rather a mix. This ensures strength, flexibility and sturdiness. There are two categories of frames, largely based on the materials they’re constructed with:
- Heavy: Heavyweight steel frames are designed for photography studios, where they will be installed and rarely (if ever) moved. On the plus side, they’re sturdy, have a high weight limit and are built to last. However, they’re difficult to assemble. They often require multiple pairs of hands to set u, and they’re heavy. Because of this, they’re not best for outdoor or mobile shoots.
- Lightweight: Aluminum, composite, or PVC frames, on the other hand, are made for movable sets. They’re easier to carry, assemble and disassemble. The downsides are their smaller dimensions and decreased weight capacity.
Capacity
Unless you consistently work with a handful of set backdrops you know the weight of, you’re going to want a stand that can hold up more weight. That way, it can accommodate any new photo backdrops you decide to incorporate into your shoots. The material used is important, but the size and dimensions of a stand also determine its capacity load. While lightweight rigs are more easily to move around for mobile shoots, their weight limit is less. For studio backdrop stands, it’s safer to invest in a heavier rig.
Width, height and adjustability
While the frame itself won’t be visible in your photos, that doesn’t mean that its shape, make and size don’t matter. Its width capacity has to match the size of your photo backdrops. Most stands have a width of around 8 to 10 feet, but frames with sliding tubes can extend even farther. Similarly, the maximum height ranges from 5 to 10 feet. Be sure that the maximum height and width of a stand will fit even your longest or widest backdrops.
What to look for in a quality photo backdrop stand
Clamps
Clamps attach the backdrop to the stand itself. Some kits don’t contain enough clamps, so buy some to attach the backdrop to the tubing.
Protective gear
Travel bags and similar protective gear is ideal for mobile rigs. They keep the parts dry, rust-free and clean while also making for a convenient place to store clamps and extra tubing.
Extra tubing
For extendible rigs, extra tubing gives you the flexibility of adding length to the height or width of the frame.
How much you can expect to spend on a photo backdrop stand
Photo backdrop stands cost $50-$100. Lightweight and smaller rigs cost less, whereas heavy-duty stands with wider or taller frames cost more.
Photo backdrop stand FAQ
What are some tips for using my photo backdrop stand?
A. There’s a lot you can do to get the most out of your stand.
- For small subjects (like children), a smaller backdrop fits; for larger ones, choose a proportionally larger backdrop size.
- Angling the backdrop can create a cool visual effect in your photographs.
- Consider combining props or creative lighting with your photo backdrop.
Is it difficult to assemble a backdrop stand?
A. No frame comes fully assembled, so expect to have at least a few pieces to put together when assembling your stand. Lightweight frames are typically OK for one person to put together. If you’re a single photographer without a crew, they’re the best. Heavy-duty frames often need the help of at least one person, since linking the bar to the supports can take a bit of strength and coordination.
What’s the best photo backdrop stand to buy?

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Boeing’s first spaceflight with astronauts has been delayed until next year because of repairs that need to be made to the capsule following its last test flight.
Liftoff of the Starliner capsule with a pair of NASA test pilots is now scheduled for February, officials announced Thursday. They had hoped to launch it by year’s end.
Boeing has launched Starliner twice without a crew, most recently in May. The capsule managed to dock with the International Space Station on the second go-around, despite thruster and other problems. Boeing program manager Mark Nappi said these issues need to be fixed before two NASA astronauts climb aboard, as early as February.
Some of the thruster trouble is believed to have been caused by debris. Because that part of the capsule was ditched before touchdown, “we will never know exactly what was the issue,” Nappi told reporters.
Boeing already was trailing SpaceX, NASA’s other contracted taxi service, by the time the Starliner made its debut in 2019. The capsule’s initial test flight with a mannequin was cut short by a string of software problems, prompting this year’s do-over.
SpaceX is gearing up for its sixth crew flight for NASA. Liftoff has been bumped to the beginning of October because of all the traffic at the space station.
NASA’s space station program manager, Joel Montalbano, said Boeing will have priority in February.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon election officials notified unaffiliated candidate for governor Betsy Johnson on Thursday that she has qualified for the November ballot.
That puts Johnson, a former legislator, officially in a three-way race against the Democratic and Republican nominees. Democratic nominee Tina Kotek is a former Oregon House Speaker and Republican nominee Christine Drazan is a former leader of the minority GOP in the House.
Johnson belonged to the Republican party and then the Democratic party and served in the state Legislature for many years before dropping her party affiliation to run for governor.
Johnson’s campaign delivered enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot, election official Lydia Plukchi told Johnson in an email.
“This is a momentous day for Oregon,” Johnson declared. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Unaffiliated-gubernatorial-candidate-Johnson-gets-17398883.php | 2022-08-26T00:14:05Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Unaffiliated-gubernatorial-candidate-Johnson-gets-17398883.php | true |
DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Delaware judge ordered both Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to turn over more information to opposing lawyers in their tussle over Musk’s agreed-to-then-abandoned $44 billion deal to acquire the social platform.
Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick on Thursday ordered Twitter to provide Musk’s attorneys more data regarding the company’s estimates that less than 5% of the accounts on its platform are fake. The judge also rejected Musk’s attempts to shield details about analyses he used in his attempt to terminate the deal.
That work was done by data scientists who examined live-feed information from Twitter about public user accounts to test the company’s daily-user counts.
Musk claims that Twitter has failed to provide enough detail about the number of fake accounts on its platform, and argues that up to 30% of Twitter’s “monetizable daily active users,” or mDAU, could be spam or bot accounts. Twitter says the mDAU metric helps it measure the number of accounts on its platform that advertisers can target, thus making them “monetizable.”
Musk, the world’s richest man, agreed in April to buy Twitter and take it private, offering $54.20 a share and vowing to loosen the company’s policing of content and to root out fake accounts. Twitter shares closed Thursday at $41.05.
Musk indicated in July that he wanted to back away from the deal, prompting Twitter to file a lawsuit to force him to carry through with the acquisition.
The judge rejected more comprehensive data requests from Musk’s attorneys as “absurdly broad,” noting that a literal reading of the request would require Twitter to produce “trillions upon trillions of data points” reflecting all data collected on roughly 200 million accounts over three years.
But McCormick did order Twitter to produce information on 9,000 accounts that were reviewed in connection with company’s fourth-quarter audit, a data subset that has been described as a “historical snapshot.”
McCormick also ordered Twitter to turn over documents regarding other metrics, regardless of whether they expressly address mDAU. Musk’s attorneys have suggested that a comparison of Twitter’s mDAU with other metrics, such as “User Active Minutes,” could support their theory that the company has fraudulently misled investors and securities regulators about the scope of activity on its platform. | https://www.yourbasin.com/technology/ap-technology/ap-judge-orders-more-document-production-in-musk-twitter-suit/ | 2022-08-26T00:15:04Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/technology/ap-technology/ap-judge-orders-more-document-production-in-musk-twitter-suit/ | false |
Crawling along on the congested freeway at about 35 mph in a Mercedes-Benz EQS 580, I was cut off by a semi, and later stopped just in the nick of time to avoid contact when the car in front of me suddenly panic-braked. Later, a quick evasive maneuver allowed me to narrowly miss two cars’ sudden lane changes just ahead.
Although this might sound like a typical, pulse-quickening day—or a good day, on the 405 in LA—and I was in the driver’s seat, from some legal standpoints I wasn’t actually driving.
Had an accident occurred in these situations, it would not have been my fault. So said Mercedes-Benz, as it prepares for the U.S. launch, perhaps as soon as next year, of a different kind of automated driving system.
“Conditionally automated driving” is the key phrase real here, and it’s the reason why Mercedes calls Drive Pilot an SAE Level 3 system and not a Level 2 system (or the confounding Level 2 Plus).
(Automakers a level of driver assistance to each car’s capability, with Level 1 being simple cruise control, Level 2 offering some brief moments of driver-attended hands-free motion—and at the top, Level 5 being a completely autonomous self-driving car, able to start, drive, and stop with no driver present.)
It’s a big step forward. Even though Level 3 Drive Pilot doesn’t offer the high-speed operation and hands-free lane-change features of GM Super Cruise, Ford BlueCruise or Tesla Enhanced Autopilot, it does completely hand off the task of driving (and the responsibility) to the car in some very specific conditions, to give drivers some moments to themselves in the car—moments that might not be so nerve-wracking.
Level 3 Drive Pilot is offered now in Europe in the S-Class and EQS, at an extra cost of 5,000 euros and 7,430 euros ($5,100 and $7,600), respectively. For now, it applies only on “suitable motorway sections in Germany” up to 37 mph, and requires one car ahead to engage the system.
The system could be on LA freeways next year, though. Mercedes is aiming to get regulatory approval for its use under similar conditions in California and Nevada by the end of the year, and it’s prepared to extend the same legal backing for liability should something go wrong.
Building on adaptive cruise control with a lot of brains and sensing
It was easy to acclimate to how Drive Pilot operates, but nerve-wracking given the video-game-like rate of potential mishaps a team of experts threw at us on the test course. White lights at the 10 and 2 positions of the steering wheel indicate it’s ready to be engaged, and green lights indicate it’s at Level 3.
So, if you have an accident with a green light on, it’s not your fault; it’s the manufacturer’s fault.
Drive Pilot steers to keep the vehicle in its lane and otherwise functions as an adaptive cruise control system, following vehicles ahead. It’s hyper-aware, though, and ready to perform evasive maneuvers and/or abrupt braking.
The system builds on what’s included in these models’ Driving Assistance Package—a Level 2 system—but it adds a lidar unit in front, additional cameras, and ultrasound and moisture sensors. One of the main purposes of the extra rear camera is to detect emergency lights, and the system taps into the interior microphone to detect sirens.
Another camera keeps an eye on the driver. That’s not foolproof, though. At 6-foot-6, I recently drove an EQS with the Driver Assistance Package on U.S. highways and had trouble getting my seat and steering wheel in the proper position, as the system repeatedly asked me to readjust.
But Drive Pilot’s software is far more advanced. Redundancy in the steering, braking, wheel speed sensors, and more—like an entire second set of wiring for the steering—helps make sure that even if vehicle systems fail, Drive Pilot can provide a 10-second handoff for the driver to take control. The system carries two separate computational layers and has more computational and sensing smarts than an A380 Airbus, according to Matthias Struck, a senior safety engineer at Mercedes-Benz, while drawing less than 50 watts of power. That’s less energy than Audi’s earlier Traffic Jam Assist, which had been U.S.-bound for the A8 but never arrived.
10 long seconds of handoff
If the system encounters a situation in which it wants to hand off control to the driver for any reason. It first issues a prompt requiring an “OK” click of the left steering-wheel toggle. Then three seconds later there’s a haptic buzz of the seat belt, followed by a second buzz a few seconds later. Beyond 10 seconds, it will slowly bring the car to a stop if there’s still no response.
The 10-second handoff is a big deal, requiring additional hardware not just for redundancy but precision and accuracy. A high-precision GPS system is the foundation, digitally fused with anonymized data for lidar, camera, radar, and ultrasound, plus a digital HD map with information on road geometry and more. With it, Mercedes claims accuracy to the centimeter instead of the meter.
Mercedes emphasizes that Drive Pilot hasn’t been developed quickly. In addition to years of engineering, it’s involved data protection officers, ethics experts, lawyers, and various compliance levels. Roughly eight years of data went into the mapping of scenarios, including various studies on what works and what doesn’t for the handoff of control back to the driver.
The system always uses multiple methods to make sure it’s on the proper roadway, adding in camera and lidar data, as well as road marker information, and it doesn’t ever go only by GPS, as it’s feasible that could be manipulated.
Why Mercedes sees Level 3 as a big step forward
In the five SAE levels of driving automation, Level 3 is conditional automation. Many automakers have said that they’ll skip Level 3 automation because they believe the conditions are vague in interpretation, and it may be dangerous to immediately hand all driving functions back to a human that isn’t required to pay attention to the road.
But for Mercedes, those conditions are quite straightforward: The driver has to stay in position and monitor the system. In position means you can’t recline more than about four inches from your normal driving position. You’re allowed to take your hands off the steering wheel, to take your eyes off the road, and even to turn your head to the side. But you can’t take a nap.
As I discovered in my short closed-course test-drive, some flexibility is built into the system. For instance, as long as you’re belted, it’s OK to look back to a child in the back seat for three to five seconds.
You can push it too far, though. After consulting with the engineer in the passenger seat, I closed my eyes completely, and just eight or nine seconds later a prompt popped up asking me to confirm I was still alert. I ignored it, which soon started the 10-second countdown toward disengagement.
But the liability shifts the moment you leave your seat or shift out of position. “If you have Drive Pilot engaged but leave your seat, it’s your fault because you are responsible to sit in your seat and take over control if the car prompts you to do so,” said Struck.
Accountability, taken seriously
Mercedes keeps track of all of this in a few different ways. Firstly, there’s a device that records when Drive Pilot is activated and when it’s deactivated. This is anonymized and stored in the car but not uploaded anywhere. The system also keeps track of incident data, which is car-specific should and incident occur, and the company has a special team watching the market and following data that’s created with every incident or whenever there is a full braking event.
Customers must agree to share this data. As part of the certification process in the U.S., owners will be required to fully watch a video on the infotainment screen, and confirm. The video will also be available on Mercedes me, the brand’s digital platform that includes a smartphone app.
“From a technical standpoint we would be able to go maybe faster, maybe also perform a lane change, but that’s a topic for the future,” said Struck, who called the system “perfectly suited” to the 60-kmh speed, as the company aims to establish customer trust.
The system is now tuned for German regulations, which require that the vehicle stay in a single travel lane. The vehicle isn’t allowed to stay in this mode if it needs to leave the lane for evasive reasons, and it’s not allowed to do lane-changes.
That explains why, when I was cut off by a series of vehicles rather than one and Drive Pilot had steered slightly to the side a bit out of the travel lane to avoid contact, it decided to pass off control to me. With just one car darting at a tangent in front of me, it had instead been able to blip the brakes and remained engaged.
For especially strong braking or a strong lateral maneuver, there’s also a takeover request, though.
Carrying Drive Pilot over to undisciplined American lanes
Things are quite different between the Autobahn and LA freeways. The lane limitations might not apply so strictly in the U.S., where lane markings are a major hurdle because they’re inconsistent and sometimes nonexistent. One engineer also called the intermittent reflectors used in some American highways “very challenging” as they create a need to teach the system a new set of conditions.
Mercedes says it currently has test drivers and test routes around Los Angeles for Drive Pilot. So far it’s only trained engineers and test-drivers, not customers.
Drive Pilot may not be as glamorous as a system that performs lane changes and can make urban journeys with the driver’s hands mostly off the steering wheel, but it’s a fully developed system you can truly trust on a congested freeway. You’re not a beta-tester.
In a slog of slogs, like the 405, you might be able to let your mind wander for a little bit, at least. Just don’t close your eyes.

Two Kokomo brothers were arrested recently for what police are calling their role in a shooting incident last month that left another man dead.
Dylan James Miller, 21, is now facing charges of murder, a Level 1 felony; conspiracy to commit murder, a Level 1 felony; straw purchase of a handgun, a Level 3 felony; unlawful carrying of a handgun with a prior felony, a Level 5 felony; and obstruction of justice, a Level 6 felony, according to arrest records.
Devonte Barlow, 27, is also facing Level 1 felony charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, per court records, as well as charges of unlawful transfer of a handgun and use of false information to obtain a firearm, both Level 5 felonies.
Their charges stem from a shooting incident that occurred shortly after midnight on July 16, 2022.
That’s when officers were called to a residence in the 1500 block of North Delphos Street, according to initial police reports, where they located the body of 25-year-old Jalen D. Dowling.
Court documents allege that Dowling died from a single gunshot that had been fired into his open bedroom window.
Due to the probable cause affidavit filed in the case being heavily redacted, many specific details of the July shooting are unclear — such as possible motive — but investigators did interview Barlow regarding the incident on Aug. 8.
During that interview, per court records, Barlow reportedly told authorities he purchased a Taurus GX4 9mm pistol and one box of ammunition on July 15, the day before the shooting.
And when asked by police about the purchase, Barlow reportedly told authorities he didn’t purchase the firearm and ammunition for himself, court records indicated.
It was that same type of ammunition — CCI Blazer 9mm 115g — that investigators located at the scene of Dowling’s residence the night the shooting occurred, court records allege.
Both Miller and Barlow are being held without bond at the Howard County Jail, and they each have an initial hearing at 8 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 1, inside Howard Superior Court 4. | https://www.kokomotribune.com/news/kokomo-brothers-arrested-on-murder-charges/article_482d2600-24bf-11ed-bded-6751bbf0a25f.html | 2022-08-26T00:20:04Z | https://www.kokomotribune.com/news/kokomo-brothers-arrested-on-murder-charges/article_482d2600-24bf-11ed-bded-6751bbf0a25f.html | true |

Georgia prosecutor seeks testimony from ex-Trump aides in election probe
A Georgia prosecutor investigating former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election is seeking to compel testimony from his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and other close allies, court filings released on Thursday showed. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday asked a state judge to order Meadows to appear before a special grand jury next month to answer questions about Trump's attempts to reverse his loss in Georgia, a battleground state that helped propel Democrat Joe Biden to the presidency.
U.S. judge tells Justice Dept. to release redacted Trump search affidavit
A federal judge in Florida on Thursday ordered the U.S. Justice Department to make public a redacted version of an affidavit underpinning the Aug. 8 FBI search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home, possibly providing fresh insights on the investigation and evidence earlier obtained by the government. U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the redacted document to be released by noon (1600 GMT) on Friday. His order came just hours after a Justice Department spokesman confirmed that prosecutors had submitted a sealed copy of the affidavit with proposed redactions to the judge.
Embattled U.S. Democrats riled over Biden's student loan forgiveness
U.S. President Joe Biden's move to waive college loan payments for millions of Americans drew criticism from some of his fellow Democrats, especially members of Congress facing the toughest re-election contests on Nov. 8. The White House may have thought the plan would provide a nice election-year gift to those grappling with monthly loan payments while also boosting the prospects for Democrats in November, when Republicans are favored to win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Senate control also is at stake.
U.S. student loan forgiveness has borrowers hoping for vacations, medical school
Americans bearing heavy college debt loads welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden's announcement on Wednesday that he would forgive $10,000 in student loans, and some shared hopes they can jettison extra work hours and perhaps take a vacation or return to school. "I would not have second thoughts when planning a trip or going on a vacation," said John Paul, 49, a restaurant manager in Washington DC who said he took out loans for his son's tuition. "Earlier, it would be at the back of our mind that we have this debt hanging over us. Now we are somewhat relieved."
Two plead guilty in theft, sale of Biden daughter Ashley's diary
Two Florida residents pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges stemming from the theft and sale to conservative activist group Project Veritas of a diary that court papers have shown belonged to U.S. President Joe Biden's daughter Ashley. Aimee Harris, 40, and Robert Kurlander, 58, entered their pleas before a magistrate judge in Manhattan federal court to conspiring to commit interstate transportation of stolen property. They also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.
Biden has harsh words for Republicans ahead of political rally
U.S. President Joe Biden had harsh words to describe Trump-allied Republicans on Thursday at a fundraiser ahead of his first political rally in the run-up to November elections, referring to an "extreme MAGA agenda" that approaches "semi-fascism." Biden, kicking off a coast-to-coast tour, is looking to lend his support to Democratic candidates and prevent Republicans from taking control of Congress by touting the sharp differences between the two major U.S. parties.
Missouri school district brings back spanking for unruly children
Spanking is staging a comeback this school year in the classrooms of one small town in southwestern Missouri, where the district will now allow corporal punishment for any unruly student whose parents give their blessing. In Cassville, about 50 miles west of Branson, administrators this week notified parents of the new policy at an open meeting and handed out consent forms to sign, according to a parent who attended the meeting.
California to end sales of gasoline-only cars by 2035
California on Thursday moved to require all new vehicles sold in the state by 2035 to be either electric or plug-in electric hybrids, a landmark move that could speed the end of gasoline-powered vehicles. California Governor Gavin Newsom first announced the plan to phase out vehicles that run only on gasoline by 2035 in September 2020. The California Air Resources Board voted on Thursday to approve the new rules, which set yearly rising zero- emission vehicle rules starting in 2026, but the Biden administration must still approve the new requirements before the plan can take effect.
At least 84 people infected by E.coli outbreak in four states - CDC
The E.coli bacteria outbreak in four Midwest states from an unknown source has affected 47 more people, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday, taking the total tally to 84. As of Wednesday, 38 people have been hospitalized. Although many strains of E.coli are found in the intestines of healthy people and animals and are harmless, certain types can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
U.S. monkeypox cases may be peaking, experts say
Monkeypox cases in some large U.S. cities appear to be declining, matching trends seen in Europe, and experts are cautiously optimistic the outbreak may have peaked in places hit hardest hit by the virus. The World Health Organization earlier on Thursday said monkeypox cases reported globally declined 21% last week, after a month-long trend of rising infections, but noted that U.S. cases continued to rise. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-11147637/Reuters-US-Domestic-News-Summary.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-26T00:23:09Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-11147637/Reuters-US-Domestic-News-Summary.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Last Stand Standing: Flaming Wok Is The Only Vendor Left in Eastridge Mall Food Court
There was a time, in the not-so-distant past, where malls were the place to be. Malls first gained their popularity in the '80s and they played host to a variety of shops, kiosks and, yes, food stands.
Food courts were the absolute center of a shopping mall, featuring various eateries offering fast, convenient food at reasonable prices.
Eastridge Mall in Casper, at one point, had an excellent food court. It consisted of such Casper staples, like Taco Johns, Subway, Pick a Piece of Pizza, Hot Dog on a Stick, and so many others.
But for two decades, one vendor has stood out among all the rest and now, after 20 years, Flaming Wok is the only vendor left in the now mostly desolate Eastridge Mall food court.
It makes sense; most people would say that Flaming Wok was the best vendor in the entire food court. It offered simple, yet delicious Chinese food, such as pepper steak, sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, lo mein, rice, and many other things that people could spend double the money for in any other restaurant.
Flaming Wok was a highlight, the highlight, of the Eastridge Mall Food Court, and now...it's the last stand standing. | https://k2radio.com/last-stand-standing-flaming-wok-is-the-only-vendor-left-in-eastridge-mall-food-court/ | 2022-08-26T00:26:07Z | https://k2radio.com/last-stand-standing-flaming-wok-is-the-only-vendor-left-in-eastridge-mall-food-court/ | false |

Broken trust still felt in Uvalde as school year approaches
By ACACIA CORONADO and PAUL J. WEBER
Associated Press
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Even though Uvalde’s school police chief is now gone, Mario Jimenez doesn’t feel any safer about sending his 10-year-old son back to class for the first time since his teacher was shot at Robb Elementary School.
“There were a lot more officers that were there and they should take responsibility for their own actions,” Jimenez said.
The firing of embattled Uvalde school Police Chief Pete Arredondo, who for more than 70 minutes during the May 24 massacre made no attempt to confront a gunman firing an AR-15-style rifle inside a fourth grade classroom, did not satisfy or reassure many Uvalde residents nervously facing a fast approaching school year.
The restlessness illustrates the depths of the broken trust in Uvalde between residents and law enforcement more than three months after the slaying of 19 children and two teachers in one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history. The demands are constant: more firings, more security, more gun restrictions. But even then, some are unconvinced that any change is enough.
The first day of school in Uvalde is Sept. 6 and a big question is how many students will return.
Jimenez is putting his son back in the district, this time with an iPhone so he can track his location and have him phone for help if needed. His son’s teacher, Elsa Avila, was wounded in attack.
“He just runs up to her, hugs her and starts to cry because he knows that she is okay,” Jimenez said. “Everyday all he does is ask about how everybody else is doing even though his mental state is horrible.”
Ronnie Garza, a Uvalde County commissioner, has five grandkids returning to class next month — three to Uvalde schools and two to a private school. He has noticed a reluctance from parents to reenroll their children in the district and said many families are switching their children to the local private Catholic school.
Virtual schooling is another option, but a new Texas law passed during the pandemic caps the number of students who can learn at home to 10% of a district’s enrollment. The Uvalde school district has not requested a waiver, according to the Texas Education Agency.
The district is installing higher fences, more security cameras and spreading more than 30 state troopers on campuses across the small South Texas town. To some families, that provides little peace of mind; the Texas Department of Public Safety had more than 90 troopers, many heavily armed, who were at Robb Elementary as the massacre dragged on.
“They were on campus that day and they also didn’t do anything, so I don’t know how much comfort that brings to us,” said Kimberly Rubio, whose 10-year-old daughter, Lexi, was among the students killed.
She has four other children between the ages of 8 and 18, the youngest of whom was also at Robb Elementary and now may do school virtually this year.
“They failed me, they failed us. I don’t know that I will ever be the same after this as far as law enforcement,” she said.
Arredondo’s dismissal Wednesday followed months of pressure from Uvalde residents and investigations that revealed how nearly 400 law enforcement officers on the scene waited outside for more than an hour before they took down the 18-year-old gunman. Signs carried by parents into a heated school board meeting ahead of Arredondo’s firing included one that read, “If you did not do your job, turn in your badge.”
But it is not clear whether any officers besides Arredondo will have to do so over a fumbled response that Col. Steve McCraw, the head of the state police force, has called “an abject failure.” Only one other officer, Uvalde Police Lt. Mariano Pargas — who was the city’s acting police chief on the day of massacre — is known to have been placed on leave for their actions during the shooting.
An investigation into Pargas’ actions is ongoing. Texas DPS also launched an internal review over the response by its troopers after a damning report by lawmakers revealed that the lengthy inaction by law enforcement went beyond Arredondo and local police.
It is not clear when either review will finish.
“Every officer that was in there that did nothing, we are going to go after them too,” said Donna Torres, a Uvalde resident who since the shooting has demanded accountability at school board and city council meetings.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott called Arredondo’s dismissal “the first step for accountability.” Abbott’s first comments after the shooting praised the law enforcement response but said days later he had been misled, a reversal that laid bare the conflicting and at times inaccurate statements by authorities in the days after the tragedy.
“This is a good start, but there is more work to be done,” Abbott said in a statement. “There must be accountability at all levels in the response at Robb Elementary School.”

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – According to a Thursday (August 25) news release from the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), the state’s Medicaid program has changed the way the state compensates hospitals that provide Medicaid patients with care.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) gave Louisiana Medicaid the greenlight to begin utilizing a new process called a ‘state directed payment model.’
This model is designed to increase hospital supplemental payments and ensure that safety-net hospitals across Louisiana continue to receive adequate financial support without requiring additional state general funds.
LDH adds that the new model also creates more uniform guidelines and stability for hospital payments.
Throughout the 2022 Legislative Session, LDH worked alongside Governor John Bel Edwards and a number of other state officials to garner support for the implementation of new model.
In this regard, State Rep. Clay Schexnayder said, “This was important to legislators which is why we passed House Concurrent Resolution 8 of the 2022 Legislative Session. We are grateful for the thoughtful and transparent process LDH used in the development of this new hospital payment model, which focuses on effectively and appropriately funding our vital network of hospitals.”
According to LDH, the increased payments will be based on Medicaid inpatient and outpatient hospital, long-term care, free-standing rehabilitation and free-standing psychiatric hospital services across the state.
The new payment model became effective July 1 of this year. | https://www.cenlanow.com/state-news/medicaid-implements-new-payment-model-for-louisiana-hospitals/ | 2022-08-26T00:35:39Z | https://www.cenlanow.com/state-news/medicaid-implements-new-payment-model-for-louisiana-hospitals/ | true |

Mercedes-Benz is now building electric cars in the U.S. for the world market.
On Thursday, production of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV began in Alabama, the German automaker announced.
The large electric crossover SUV has been integrated into production at Mercedes’ Tuscaloosa plant, which is where all the brand’s mid-size and large crossover SUVs have been built since 1997.
The EQS SUV isn’t the only electric crossover SUV from Mercedes set to be built in the U.S. The automaker will begin producing the mid-size EQE SUV at the same factory later this year. That vehicle hasn’t been shown yet and it will debut on Oct. 16.
Batteries for both the EQS and EQE SUVs will be supplied by a new plant seven miles from where Mercedes will screw together the SUVs. Construction of the battery plant began in 2018 as part of a $1 billion investment by Daimler announced during its 20th anniversary of building crossover SUVs in the U.S.
The EQS SUV will launch with two grades, EQS 450+ and EQS 580 4Matic. The former will feature a single rear motor rated at 355 hp and 419 lb-ft of torque, while the latter will have dual motors and all-wheel drive and will make 536 hp and 633 lb-ft of torque.
Mercedes-Benz hasn’t announced performance figures.
A 107.8-kwh battery pack should be good for more than 300 miles of EPA-rated range in the model’s most efficient form. Mercedes said charging at the rate of 110 kw can take the EQS SUV from 10% to 80% state-of-charge in 31 minutes. A 400-watt electrical system prevents charging faster, like other EVs can do with their 800-volt systems.
Unlike the EQS hatchback upon which the SUV is based, the high-riding model will have three rows of seats with the ability to carry up to seven passengers while also hauling up to four sets of golf clubs.
Pricing will be announced closer to launch.

Week Zero of the college football season is here. Zero hour. All the predictions, speculation, conjecture, tea leaves and Magic 8 Balls will soon, thankfully, be relegated to the recycle bin.
While the LSU’s season-opening opponent, Florida State, begins its season with a tune up Saturday against Duquesne, the Tigers won’t play until Sept. 4 against the Seminoles in the Caesars Superdome. So, time remains for a bit more educated guesswork.
To that end, here are our local media predictions for the Tigers in 2022, 18 predictions that fell in a pretty narrow band: 14 said 8-4, four said 7-5. All of those predictions exceed or equal Caesars Sportsbook's predicted seven-win total for the Tigers this fall.
Include me in the 8-4 group, including a thin nod to LSU to win the opener against FSU, followed by a 4-4 conference record. But what do I know — I picked the Tigers to go 10-2 last year.
Let us know how we did at season’s end, and I’m sure we’ll deny everything:
Wilson Alexander, The Advocate/The Times-Picayune: “Brian Kelly changed so much about LSU's program as he brought in new coaches, new players and new staff members. It usually takes time for personnel to mesh, so expect some growing pains in his first year, but LSU has enough talent to compete in a crowded SEC West.” 8-4
Leah Vann, The Advocate/The Times-Picayune: “LSU has a tough schedule and it’s a rebuilding year. I think the Tigers will defeat all non-conference opponents, though UAB is supposed to be sneaky good this year. As for the SEC, there will be a mix of should-have wins and should-not-have wins. Tennessee and Arkansas games will be close.” 7-5
Sheldon Mickles, The Advocate/The Times-Picayune: “Loved the hire of Brian Kelly and like it even more now, but the rebuild will take more time. Still, you can bet (hint, hint) a coach who's won 263 games will find a way even against a rugged SEC schedule. A pre-Christmas visit to the Las Vegas Bowl isn't far-fetched.” 8-4
Jeff Duncan, The Advocate/The Times-Picayune: “Brian Kelly and his new staff have plenty of front-line talent to work with, but depth remains a major question mark. This season is about restoring credibility to the program, and Kelly will do that.” 8-4
Rod Walker, The Advocate/The Times-Picayune: “The schedule is friendly, with the Tigers not leaving the state of Louisiana until October and having just four games outside state lines. They need to take advantage of the seven unranked opponents to start the season. Beating Florida State and Mississippi State in first three weeks could springboard a 6-0 start. It gets much tougher down the stretch.” 8-4
Michael Cauble, WBRZ-TV: “I think LSU will finish 8-4, which would be a successful first season under Brian Kelly. There are too many positions that have to hit for LSU. Talent may be high at places, but depth is thin. O-line, RB, LB and DB’s have a lot to prove, and the back half of the schedule will be tough.”
Ed Daniels, WGNO-TV: “Tigers will go 8-4. Nine wins isn’t fantasy. They will be much improved in two critical areas, offensive line and secondary. 2022 will mirror 2000, but a little better because of success in transfer portal.”
Jacques Doucet, WAFB-TV: “Obviously wins and losses are the discussion here. But perhaps the more important question is this: Do the Tigers get progressively better and move towards bigger and better things in 2023 and 2024? With Brian Kelly, I think so. They go 8-4 with a bowl matchup against a disappointing Notre Dame.”
Charles Hanagriff, WNXX-FM: “Brian Kelly seems to be improving things every day, but it’s a big ask for him to turn over this large number of players and staff, while competing in the SEC West, and be a top 15 team.” 7-5
Ron Higgins, TigerDetails.com: “Everything depends on the rapid acclimation of LSU's bevy of transfers who are spread throughout the roster. LSU accepts Las Vegas Bowl bid because Las Vegas is one of the few cities in America with enough alcohol to handle the Tigers' traveling fan base.” 8-4
Brody Miller, The Athletic: “LSU will ride an elite defensive line, an exciting receiving room and a new coaching staff to an up-and-down season with upset wins (Texas A&M) and frustrating losses (Mississippi State).” 8-4
Matt Moscona, “After Further Review,” WNXX-FM: “The floor isn’t as low as many analysts assume. But the ceiling isn’t as high as many LSU fans might hope. The Tigers have talent, but they also have questions and a demanding schedule.” 8-4 (Las Vegas Bowl)
Jimmy Ott, “Jimmy Ott’s Gametime,” WNXX-FM: “There has never been a roster/staff overhaul in Tiger Town like this. All of this turnover comes with a price in the rugged SEC West. BK can coach. You don’t win 42 straight as the betting favorite by accident. The roster has some talent and some holes." 7-5
Hunt Palmer, “Hunt and Hill,” WNXX-FM: “I think the talent level is pretty low on this team, especially in terms of future pros. Zero lay ups in SEC play. Shaky OL. Questions at QB. I think this team plays a lot of tight fourth quarters. For the first time since 1999, it’s a true rebuild.” 7-5
Koki Riley, The Daily Advertiser: “There will be some bumps along the way, but LSU's elite defensive line and playmakers should help the Tigers steal a win or two from Alabama, Arkansas or Texas A&M.” 8-4
Mike Scarborough, TigerBait.com: “With seven or eight football games that could be classified as “toss-ups” or point spreads amounting to field goals, there is not likely to be much of a margin between going 7-5 and 9-3 this season. I think LSU has enough to get to 8-4 if it can avoid a rash of injuries.”
Glen West, Geaux247.com: “Brian Kelly has been known to have good Years 1s at his previous stops and he’s got more talent, albeit in the SEC West, than he’s ever had. The start of the year will be critical. If LSU opens 4-1 or 5-0, expectations could blow through the roof.” 8-4 | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_842b6cba-24c5-11ed-8832-b7d7e3ffcfc4.html | 2022-08-26T00:45:15Z | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_842b6cba-24c5-11ed-8832-b7d7e3ffcfc4.html | true |
