HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A law enforcement officer shot and killed in the Atascocita area late Sunday has been identified as Deputy Constable Omar Ursin, according to Harris County Precinct 3 Constable Sherman Eagleton.
“It is with heavy hearts and utter disbelief that we share the tragic news of the senseless murder of one of our own, Deputy Omar Ursin,” Eagleton said in a post on social media. “We ask that you pray for Deputy Omar Ursin’s family, friends and all of us who are devastated by the loss of our brother. Rest in Peace Deputy Ursin, we’ve got it from here.”
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted about the deadly shooting around 8 p.m. on Madera Run Parkway near Lake Houston. Homicide investigators said the shooting happened at about 6:30 p.m.
Eagleton said Ursin, 37, who was off duty at the time, was picking up dinner for his family when someone shot and killed him while he was driving his family's vehicle on Madera Run Parkway.
Gonzalez said Ursin was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Homicide investigators said they are not sure as to why Ursin was targeted in the deadly shooting.
“The reason for the shooting is unknown. We don’t know if it’s road rage. We don’t know if it has to do with him being law enforcement,” Sgt. Dennis Wolford with Harris County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit said. “We are still trying to determine that, but we are asking for the public’s help.”
The sheriff also asked residents in The Groves neighborhood with video surveillance cameras to review footage to see if they can see anything.
Gonzalez said the suspect vehicle in the shooting left the scene heading eastbound on Madera Run Parkway and then turned northbound on Olympic National Drive. He said investigators believe the shots were fired as the vehicles were in front of West Lake Middle School.

BEND, Ore. — Three people are dead after a suspect opened fire at a Bend shopping center.
According to Bend Police, a man carrying an assault-style rifle started shooting in the parking lot of the Forum Shopping Center, located off Highway 20 near Northeast 27th Street, around 7 p.m. Sunday night.
In a press briefing late Sunday night, a Bend Police spokesperson said the gunman came from a residential area behind the shopping center. He allegedly started shooting near the Big Lots store, then went into the west entrance of the Safeway.
Bend Police say the suspect shot and killed someone at the front of the grocery store then continued firing through the store, killing an additional person toward the back of the store.
A third person was found dead in the store; police believe that person to be the shooter.
Investigators recovered an AR-15 style assault rifle and a shotgun near the suspect.
Initial reports show that Bend Police officers did not fire any shots at the scene.
It's not clear how many others were injured.
A spokeswoman with St. Charles Hospital told KTVZ they received two patients just before 8:30 p.m. One was dead on arrival, the second patient was reported to be in good condition.
The hospital was placed on lockout.
Bend police say they investigated reports that there was a second shooter, and additional shooting scenes, but say they've found no evidence of any other shootings in the city Sunday night.
Safeway shopper Josh Caba talked with KTVZ about the terrifying shopping experience.
The Bend resident said his wife had stayed in the car, as she was not feeling well, while he went shopping with their four children.
"About 10 minutes later, we started heading to the front. Then we heard I don’t know how many shots out front – six or seven. I immediately turned to my children and said, 'Run!' People were screaming, it was a horrifying experience."
Caba was worried about his wife but, but "by the grace and provision of God," he said, when he and three of their kids burst through the big black exit doors by the produce department, his wife had driven around back and "was sitting in the car, saying 'Get in the car! Get in the car!'"
Caba said he went back in and found their fourth child, rushing her out of the store and to the car as well. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/three-dead-following-shooting-at-safeway-store-in-bend/283-fc08eecb-dd3d-4463-ac31-024899f91233 | 2022-08-29T15:46:51Z | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/three-dead-following-shooting-at-safeway-store-in-bend/283-fc08eecb-dd3d-4463-ac31-024899f91233 | false |
Charlotte Harbor water quality analytics pilot project expanding
CARY, N.C. and TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Florida's Center for Coastal Solutions (CCS) is embarking on an ambitious partnership with analytics leader SAS to study the factors that influence water quality in Charlotte Harbor. Funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), this project aligns with CCS' mission to innovate cutting-edge data analytics, modeling and artificial intelligence to advance scientific discovery and provide leaders the insights they need to identify the decisions and investments that will make Charlotte Harbor an environmental restoration success story.
The project will evaluate the connections between water quality and key economic sectors in the region. As part of the yearlong project, SAS and CCS will use SAS® Viya® on Microsoft Azure to develop a web-based water analytics platform to integrate a diversity of data streams to facilitate scientific research, visualize water quality conditions over time, and gain insights on effective clean water management techniques. SAS Viya is the company's flagship AI, machine learning, analytics and data management platform,
An interdisciplinary team of CCS researchers – hydrologists, oceanographers, ecologists, economists and computer scientists – will use the data to investigate the interdependencies among pollution, ocean circulation, coastal water quality and economics and use satellite data to develop high-resolution water quality forecasting technology.
Building on a successful water quality pilot project
In a recent collaboration, CCS and SAS developed a pilot-scale platform to bring together massive amounts of water quality data from the Charlotte Harbor estuary in near-real time with easy-to-use visualizations. This pilot project demonstrated the value of quickly integrating high-quality data to support decision making and scientific research.
The new project will expand on the successful Charlotte Harbor pilot to include the northern reaches of the harbor and associated tributaries. By integrating additional environmental and regional economic data from the watershed, CCS and SAS will explore a wider range of drivers affecting water quality in Charlotte Harbor and Peace River Basin and estimate the economic impacts of environmental changes throughout the region.
"By capitalizing on the exceptional supercomputing power of the University of Florida and SAS Viya, CCS, SAS and DEP are in a unique position to leverage large amounts of environmental data that have been collected by state agencies, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and others to better understand how coastal water quality is changing and why," said Christine Angelini, PhD, CCS Director and Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences. "Our primary goal in coupling this advanced scientific understanding with a holistic assessment of the regional economy is to deliver useful, actionable information to decision makers who want to leave a legacy of cleaner waters, healthier ecosystems and a more robust, resilient economy in this region of the state."
Florida taps analytics in bold efforts to improve water quality
The governor's FY22-23 budget commits more than $3.6 billion to Florida's environment and water quality, of which $17 million will be dedicated to data analytics for water quality improvement.
"We are excited and proud to partner with the University of Florida and SAS to develop innovative solutions to complex challenges," said Dr. Mark Rains, Florida's Chief Science Officer. "This analytics platform will help us to better identify and respond to water quality changes in Charlotte Harbor, and it has the potential to unlock data-based solutions that will enhance our efforts around the state."

Win for Qualcomm as no EU appeal court ruling against $991 mln fine - sources
By Foo Yun Chee
BRUSSELS, Aug 29 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators will not appeal a court ruling scrapping its 997-million-euro ($991 million) fine against Qualcomm, people familiar with the matter said, in a major win for the U.S. chipmaker that ends a long-running saga.
The Luxembourg-based General Court, Europe's second-highest, in its June judgment was scathing of the European Commission's handling of the case, saying procedural irregularities had affected Qualcomm's rights of defence.
Judges also invalidated the Commission's analysis that payments made by Qualcomm to Apple were anti-competitive because the regulator had not taken into account all the relevant facts.
It would be very difficult for the EU competition watchdog to win on both counts in an appeal, the people familiar with the matter said.
The judgment was a major setback for EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager, who has handed out billion-euro fines to Alphabet unit Google and opened investigations into Amazon, Apple and Facebook owner Meta as part of her crackdown on Big Tech.
The European Commission, which can appeal to the EU Court of Justice (CJEU) on points of law, declined to comment. Qualcomm found itself in the EU's crosshairs in 2015.
The Commission's decision not to contest the Court finding was not surprising, said Peter Alexiadis, visiting professor at King's College in London.
"Even if the Commission were to succeed on the substantive grounds of appeal, such a victory would be nothing more than Pyrrhic, given the fact that the Commission decision would nevertheless inevitably be annulled on the procedural grounds, where the Commission's case seems to be weak," he said.
An appeal might, however, force the court to clarify which exclusivity relationships held by dominant firms were problematic, Alexiadis said.
"It is nevertheless disappointing that the antitrust Bar does not have a chance to benefit from a CJEU ruling on the question of economic incentives to pursue exclusivity strategies," he said.
The EU competition enforcer, in its 2018 decision, said Qualcomm paid billions of dollars to Apple from 2011 to 2016 to use only its chips in all its iPhones and iPads in order to block out rivals such as Intel Corp.
Vestager faces her next test on Sept. 14, when the General Court will rule on Google's challenge against a record 4.34-billion-euro antitrust fine imposed for using its Android mobile operating system to squeeze out rivals.

PARIS (AP) — The woman was crumpled on the floor of a mangled Mercedes, unconscious and struggling to breathe. The French doctor had no idea who she was and just focused on trying to save her.
Twenty-five years later, Dr. Frederic Mailliez is still marked by what happened in the Alma Tunnel in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997 — and the realization that he was one of the last people to see Princess Diana alive.
“I realize my name will always be attached to this tragic night,” Mailliez, who was on his way home from a party when he came across the car crash, told The Associated Press. “I feel a little bit responsible for her last moments.”
As Britain and Diana’s admirers worldwide mark a quarter-century since her death, Mailliez recounted the aftermath of the crash.
That night, Mailliez was driving into the tunnel when he spotted a smoking Mercedes nearly split in two.
“I walked toward the wreckage. I opened the door, and I looked inside,” he said.
What he saw: “Four people, two of them were apparently dead, no reaction, no breathing, and the two others, on the right side, were living but in severe condition. The front passenger was screaming, he was breathing. He could wait a few minutes. And the female passenger, the young lady, was on her knees on the floor of the Mercedes, she had her head down. She had difficulty to breathe. She needed quick assistance.”
He ran to his car to call emergency services and grab a respiratory bag.
“She was unconscious,” he said. “Thanks to my respiratory bag (…) she regained a little bit more energy, but she couldn’t say anything.”
The doctor would later find out the news — along with the rest of the world — that the woman he treated was Diana, Britain’s national treasure adored by millions.
“I know it’s surprising, but I didn’t recognize Princess Diana,” he said. “I was in the car on the rear seat giving assistance. I realized she was very beautiful, but my attention was so focused on what I had to do to save her life, I didn’t have time to think, who was this woman.”
“Someone behind me told me the victims spoke English, so I began to speak English, saying I was a doctor and I called the ambulance,” he said. “I tried to comfort her.”
As he worked, he noticed the flash of camera bulbs, of paparazzi gathered to document the scene. A British inquest found Diana’s chauffeur, Henri Paul, was drunk and driving at a high speed to elude pursuing photographers.
Mailliez said he had “no reproach” toward the photographers’ actions after the crash. “They didn’t hamper me having access to the victims. … I didn’t ask them for help, but they didn’t interfere with my job.”
Firefighters quickly came, and Diana was taken to a Paris hospital, where she died a few hours later. Her companion Dodi Fayed and the driver also died.
“It was a massive shock to learn that she was Princess Diana, and that she died,” Mailliez said. Then self-doubt set in. “Did I do everything I could to save her? Did I do correctly my job?” he asked himself. “I checked with my medical professors and I checked with police investigators,” he said, and they agreed he did all he could.
The anniversary is stirring up those memories again, but they also come back “each time I drive through the Alma Tunnel,” he said.
As Mailliez spoke, standing atop the tunnel, cars rushed in and out past the pillar where she crashed, now bearing a stencil drawing of Diana’s face.
The Flame of Liberty monument nearby has become a memorial site attracting Diana fans of all generations and nationalities. She has become a timeless figure of emancipation and a fashion icon even for those born after her death.
Irinia Ouahvi, a 16-year-old Parisian visiting the flame, said she knows Diana through TikTok videos and through her mother.
“Even with her style she was a feminist. She challenged royal etiquette, wearing cyclist shorts and casual pants,” Ouahvi said.
Francine Rose, a Dutch 16-year-old who stopped by Diana’s memorial while on a biking trip in Paris, discovered her story thanks to “Spencer,” a recent film starring Kristen Stewart.
“She is an inspiration because she was evolving in the strict household, the royal family, and just wanted to be free,” Rose said.

Kulwinder Singh Soni’s voice quavered as he recounted the day in March 2020 when an Islamic State gunman burst into a Sikh gurdwara’s prayer hall in Kabul, hurling grenades and firing assault rifles. Among the 25 people killed were Soni’s father, sister-in-law and 4-year-old niece.
Police later warned the family not to attend their funerals because terrorists had planted land mines outside the temple. They were ultimately able to attend, but only after officers did a sweep and cleared them to enter the shrine.
“That’s when we decided we needed to leave Afghanistan,” Soni said. “There was absolutely no future for our family in that country.”
After a two-year struggle to make an exit, including nearly a year under restored rule of the fundamentalist Taliban group, Soni and 12 family members including his mother, siblings, nieces and nephews, arrived in the United States last month.
They are settling in Hicksville, on New York’s Long Island, a community that has come to be a growing refuge for not only Afghan Sikhs but also Hindus, both of them religious minorities that have increasingly suffered discrimination and persecution in their home country.
Sikhs and Hindus make up only a tiny fraction of the population of Afghanistan, which is almost entirely Muslim. Under the Taliban in the late 1990s, they were asked to identify themselves by wearing yellow armbands or badges, reminiscent of Nazi Germany, and in recent years they have been repeatedly targeted by extremists.
In July 2018 an ISIS suicide bomber ambushed a convoy of Sikhs and Hindus as they were on their way to meet President Ashraf Ghani in the eastern city of Jalalabad, killing 19. On June 16 of this year, an ISIS gunman attacked a gurdwara, or house of worship, in Kabul, killing one worshipper and wounding seven others. Sikhs have also faced challenges with cremating their dead, which they consider a sacred belief but Islam views as sacrilegious.
As the Aug. 30 one-year anniversary of U.S. forces’ withdrawal from Afghanistan approaches, a recent report by the bipartisan U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom warns of “a rapid decline and near extinction of the already small Afghan Hindu and Sikh communities” in Afghanistan, in addition to persecution of other religious minorities.
In October 2021, the report says, the Sikh community shared videos of alleged Taliban members vandalizing and ransacking their gurdwara in the neighborhood of Karte Parwan, which is home to the remaining 100 or fewer Sikhs and Hindus in Kabul.
Soni, now 27, still has fresh memories of the 2020 gurdwara attack that ultimately drove the family from the country. When the assailants stormed the prayer hall early that morning, he was in the next room at the Gurdwara Har Rai Sahib, where his father was the chief granthi, or ceremonial reader of the Sikh sacred text.
He saw men running into the temple with shoes, something that is prohibited. As he darted out to stop them, Soni spotted the bodies of a security guard and a teen in a pool of blood right where devotees usually washed their feet before entering. He retreated with two siblings to a room, where they locked the door and hunkered down for several hours.
When the siege ended, Afghan special forces had killed the assailants and rescued at least 80 worshippers. Soni rushed to the prayer hall, where he found his three relatives dead and his mother and older brother wounded.
“My mom told me (the gunman) kept shooting and throwing bombs even as people tried to hide,” Soni said. “My brother heard his daughter’s voice calling out to him to help her. He was helpless.”
In late August of last year, after the Taliban took over Kabul, Soni, one of the few English speakers in his community, assumed the role of a spokesperson and negotiator working to secure their exit from Kabul. He tried to talk the Canadian government into evacuating about 250 Sikhs and Hindus, including his family.
After an ISIS suicide bombing at the airport scuttled that plan and fears escalated under Taliban rule, the women and children in Soni’s family moved to New Delhi and the men shuttled between India and Kabul to care for their sacred shrine. It then took months of struggle and daily communication between the U.S. State Department; the Sikh Coalition, a Sikh American advocacy group; and Afghan Sikhs in Hicksville to get the entire family of 13 to the U.S.
Paramjit Singh Bedi, a longtime community leader who moved to the United States in 1984 and was instrumental in bringing them over, is now hoping to help them get housing, work permits and medical insurance, and the children enrolled in school.
“This family has been through a lot,” Bedi said. “But we are a resilient people and we are strong and steadfast in our faith. I know they will be OK.”
Bedi has advocated for the permanent resettlement of the Afghan Sikh community here, and estimates there are about 200 of them living on Long Island.
There are also about 800 Afghan Hindus in the area, according to Doulat Radhu Bathija, a leader of that community.
Back in Afghanistan, gurdwaras and temples always stood side by side, and Bathija is thrilled that is also the case thousands of miles away on Long Island; in Hicksville, the Guru Nanak Darbar gurdwara is located right next to the Asa’Mai Hindu Temple.
Bathija said he sees the Hindu and Sikh communities as “the same,” and they visit each other’s places of worship and celebrate together Diwali, the festival of lights.
“We get together for weddings and funerals,” he said, “like a family.”
Sikhs and Hindus are not recent migrants to Afghanistan but have hundreds of years of history there. Sikh texts speak of a time when Guru Nanak, the religion’s founder, visited Afghanistan in the 1500s. Yet they are often viewed as infidels, said Jagbir Jhutti-Johal, a professor of Sikh Studies at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. Women, in particular, have been subjected to severe restrictions under the Taliban.
While as recently as the 1970s there were about 200,000 Sikhs in Afghanistan, Jhutti-Johal anticipates that by the end of this year there may be none left. Over the years, most have moved to India or the West.
Jhutti-Johal believes the West may be the best home for these communities since their Afghan ethnic identity and meager social services in India make things more complicated there.
“They are also going to need access to mental health services after everything they have been through,” she said.
Soni’s family is now trying to win formal asylum in the U.S., and supporters say they have a strong case.
“There is an overwhelming and compelling amount of evidence for how this family experienced religious persecution in Afghanistan because they are Sikhs,” said Mark Reading-Smith, senior managing director of programs for the Sikh Coalition. “They’ve lost more than we can ever imagine.”
The family is slowly recovering. But Soni said he’s not even sure what “normal” life looks like, having grown up bullied and beaten in school and on the street for being Sikh. By comparison, Long Island feels a lot more welcoming.
Soni has been praying at the gurdwara. He loves seeing his little nieces and nephews smile. And his mother does not panic anymore whenever he leaves home.
“She now tells us to go out and enjoy life,” Soni said. “Here, I think, we have the opportunity to become who we want to become.”

Washington Commanders rookie RB shot in possible attempted robbery or carjacking, police say
Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot during an attempted robbery or carjacking, the NFL team said Sunday night.
The 23-year-old former Alabama player was taken to a hospital with what the team called non-life-threatening injuries. The team said in a statement staff members were with Robinson at the hospital.
Coach Ron Rivera said he had been with Robinson.
"He is in good spirits and wanted me to thank everyone for their kind words, prayers & support," Rivera said on Twitter. "He wants his teammates to know he appreciates them all for reaching out and he loves them all & will be back soon doing what he does best."
D.C. police reported a shooting in the northeast section of the city and said it was on the lookout for two possible suspects.
Robinson, a third-round draft pick, was expected to start for the Commanders this season. He had been particularly impressive during training camp and preseason games, likely earning the job over incumbent Antonio Gibson.
"Brian's been great," offensive coordinator Scott Turner said recently. "He's a real serious guy. Football is extremely important to him. He takes a lot of pride in being a physical runner."
Robinson traveled with the team for its preseason finale at Baltimore on Saturday night but did not dress.
The 6-foot-1, 228-pound back rushed for 1,343 yards and 14 touchdowns last season at Alabama. The Commanders selected him with the 98th pick in the draft. | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/washington-commanders-rookie-rb-shot-in-dc/41018707 | 2022-08-29T15:59:50Z | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/washington-commanders-rookie-rb-shot-in-dc/41018707 | false |

Falls Prevention Awareness Week spotlights steps older adults can take to remain injury-free
ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Council on Aging (NCOA), the national voice for every person's right to age well, is proud to join thousands of community-based organizations nationwide for Falls Prevention Awareness Week, September 18-24, 2022.
Since 2007, NCOA has sponsored this annual event during the first week of fall to spotlight the prevalence and cost of falls among older adults, as well as evidence-based falls prevention programs and steps individuals can take to reduce their risk.
As part of this year's event, NCOA and the CDC Foundation are launching a new and improved Falls Free CheckUp, an online tool to help older adults check their risk for a fall and learn how to reduce it. The tool asks 13 yes/no questions and produces a score showing whether a person is at normal or high risk for a fall. It also provides recommended next steps, such as speaking with a doctor and falls prevention tips and resources. Individuals can sign up for reminders to schedule an appointment with their doctor and take the Falls Free CheckUp again in 6 months to see if their risk has changed.
"Regular checkups are an important way to stay healthy as we age—and that includes checking your risk for a fall," said Kathleen Cameron, Senior Director at NCOA's Center for Healthy Aging. "Falls threaten older adults' safety and independence and generate enormous economic and personal costs. However, falling is not an inevitable result of aging. The Falls Free CheckUp makes it easy to learn your risk and discover steps to reduce it."
The questions in the Falls Free CheckUp are the same as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Stay Independent Checklist. Researchers have compared these questions to physician judgment to see how well they predict falls risk. CDC provided scientific support for the Falls Free CheckUp, and it was developed with assistance from NORC at the University of Chicago and supported by Amgen.
According to CDC, more than one-fourth of Americans age 65+ falls each year, and falls result in more than 3 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including over 800,000 hospitalizations.
"An important aspect of aging well and living a healthy life is identifying and addressing risk factors," said Lisa Waddell, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer for the CDC Foundation. "Falls Prevention Awareness Week is a great time to remind older adults that there are steps they can take to stay safer and reduce their risk of injury."
Throughout Falls Prevention Awareness Week, community-based organizations and health care providers across the country will be sharing the Falls Free CheckUp, as well as providing education, in-person screenings, and evidence-based falls prevention programs to encourage older adults to understand and reduce their risk. NCOA offers a promotion toolkit to help local organizations spread the word. This year's theme is Strengthening Community Connections in Falls Prevention.

The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is the national voice for every person's right to age well. We believe that how we age should not be determined by gender, color, sexuality, income, or zip code. Working with thousands of national and local partners, we provide resources, tools, best practices, and advocacy to ensure every person can age with health and financial security. Founded in 1950, we are the oldest national organization focused on older adults. Learn more at www.ncoa.org and @NCOAging.

By Tuesday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers must have their roster trimmed down from 80 to 53 players. The work got started on Sunday when the team released linebacker Ty Summers. That leaves 26 more decisions to make between now and Tuesday’s deadline.
Here’s one final attempt at predicting the roster:
OFFENSE (25)
QB (2): Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love
RB (3): Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Patrick Taylor
WR (7): Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Amari Rodgers, Juwann Winfree
TE (4): Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis, Josiah Deguara, Tyler Davis
OL (10): Elgton Jenkins, David Bakhtiari, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan Jr., Royce Newman, Yosh Nijman, Zach Tom, Sean Rhyan, Jake Hanson, Rasheed Walker
Thoughts: Taylor wins out at running back based on special teams and pass pro, while Tyler Goodson eventually returns on the practice squad. In what’s soon to be a saturated market at running back, neither Taylor nor Goodson is likely to get claimed, making the idea of just two running backs all the more appealing. I still think the Packers keep three. I’d take Samori Toure over Winfree, but Winfree does more on special teams and the quarterback trusts him. Again, the hope would be to return Toure on the practice squad. Keeping 10 offensive linemen is probably necessary because Bakhtiari and Jenkins are both question marks to start the season. Walker, a draft pick who played well in the season finale, gets the nod over Caleb Jones, who could probably use a year on the practice squad.
DEFENSE (25)
DL (6): Kenny Clark, Jarran Reed, Dean Lowry, TJ Slaton, Devonte Wyatt, Jack Heflin
OLB (5): Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, Jonathan Garvin, Kingsley Enagbare, Tipa Galeai
ILB (4): De’Vondre Campbell, Quay Walker, Isaiah McDuffie, Krys Barnes
CB (6): Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas, Eric Stokes, Keisean Nixon, Shemar Jean-Charles, Kiondre Thomas
S (4): Adrian Amos, Darnell Savage, Shawn Davis, Dallin Leavitt
Thoughts: Not much mystery here. Around 19-20 of these spots are already locked in. Once again, Heflin made disruptive plays this preseason. He’s worth keeping as the sixth defensive lineman, especially because Wyatt has been so inconsistent to start his rookie season. Galeai, Thomas and Leavitt make the roster because of their advantages over counterparts on special teams.
SPECIAL TEAMS (3)
K (1): Mason Crosby
P (1): Pat O’Donnell
LS (1): Jack Coco
Crosby’s status lingers over this whole thing, but the Packers continue to sound hopeful that he’ll be ready for Week 1. Is there going to be a long snapper available who is better than Coco, who had a strong preseason? His snapping has been solid, but he did overrun a few tackle attempts in the finale. | https://sports.yahoo.com/final-roster-prediction-packers-cut-143856851.html?src=rss | 2022-08-29T16:04:44Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/final-roster-prediction-packers-cut-143856851.html?src=rss | true |

He wasn’t kidding. Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, said Friday that the Fed’s Open Markets Committee will “use our tools forcefully,” and keep raising interest rates until inflation comes down. This is “no place to stop or pause,” he said.
Investors winced, and stocks tumbled. The so-called Fed “pivot” was revealed to be just wishful thinking. Inflation is a stubborn foe: I think it is unlikely to be conquered before 2024. So it would be wise to look for stocks that can do well when interest rates are rising.
Banks
There are many cross-currents, but generally rising rates are good for banks. If a bank borrows at 2% and lends at 4%, it makes roughly $2,000 a year on a $100,000 loan. But if it borrows at 3% and lends at 6%, it makes about $3,000 on the same sized loan.
So far this year, bank stocks have done poorly. Bank of America
Investors worry that a recession has begun, or soon will. That could mean that banks make fewer and smaller loans, and suffer more loan defaults. Nonetheless, I think some bank stocks are good buys at current prices. JPMorgan, one of my favorites, sells for only nine times earnings.
Insurance
Insurance companies receive premiums today, and pay out claims tomorrow — or much later. In the meantime, they invest the premium money (float), often in bonds.
As rates rise, the value of existing bonds automatically declines, and that hurts insurers. But new float can be invested at higher rates, and that’s good.
Some insurance stocks selling for what I consider reasonable prices are MetLife
Energy
When the Fed raises rates, it usually does so because it sees inflation as a problem. Energy costs are a key part of the inflation picture. High oil and gas prices are a problem for consumers and businesses, but obviously are a boon to energy producers.
Even in recessions, energy demand often stays stable or rises a bit. And energy supply is currently reduced because of the Russia-Ukraine war, and sanctions against Russia by the U.S. and its allies. So, I would expect energy prices and profits to stay strong.
This year through August 26, ExxonMobil (XOM) is up 54%, ConocoPhillips
TotalEnergies SE (TTE), based in France, has lagged (up only 5%) because of its closer ties to Russia. I favor it, however, because it’s cheap at less than eight times earnings, and because it has large-scale projects in solar and wind energy.
Healthcare
Health care stocks – drug stocks in particular – usually hold up well when the Fed goes on a rate-raising campaign. Much health care spending is non-discretionary. Very little of it is paid for by borrowing: Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance cover most of the bills.
So far this year, Merck & Co.
I like most of these stocks (and own two of them) but I would avoid AbbVie because its debt-to-equity ratio is high.
What’s Harmed
Real estate investments have historically done poorly when the Fed is tightening (i.e. raising rates). Home buyers and commercial developers need mortgages to pay for new buildings, and the higher the mortgage rates go, the harsher the headwind.
I’ve owned homebuilding stocks until very recently. I think many of them are better run than they used to be, and I believe there is pent-up demand for single family homes. But now, with the mortgage problem, I suspect they will be no better than market performers, so I’ve pretty much sold out.
Disclosure: I own Merck, Pfizer and TotalEnergies personally and for most of my clients. Some of my clients own Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan and Met Life. A hedge fund I manage has a short position in Wells Fargo (we profit if the stock declines). | https://www.forbes.com/sites/johndorfman/2022/08/29/merck-jpm-metlife-exxon-abbvie-fed-tightens/ | 2022-08-29T16:10:25Z | https://www.forbes.com/sites/johndorfman/2022/08/29/merck-jpm-metlife-exxon-abbvie-fed-tightens/ | false |
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The city of Cambridge is temporarily switching the source of its drinking water after finding elevated levels of toxic “forever chemicals" in its water supply, the city said in a statement.
The PFAS levels in the water are above what state standards allow, Friday's statement said.
The city across the Charles River from Boston and home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will get water for its nearly 120,000 residents from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority’s system starting Tuesday until November, when it is expected to install a new filter at its water treatment facility.
“Replacing the filter media will ensure that our PFAS levels will be reliably and consistently below the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection regulatory standard in the short and long term,” water department Director Sam Corda said.
PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have been linked to cancer and other health problems in humans. They are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t degrade in the environment and remain in the bloodstream. They were used for years in firefighting foams, nonstick frying pans, water-repellent fabrics, stain-resistant rugs and other products.
Cambridge, the state's fourth-largest city, gets its water from the Stony Brook Watershed in the Charles River Basin. MWRA water is from the Quabbin and Wachusett reservoirs.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency moved Friday to designate two PFAS chemicals found in Cambridge's water as hazardous substances.
Massachusetts in May sued more than a dozen companies involved in the manufacture or marketing of forever chemicals, alleging they knowingly polluted the environment and endangered public health. The chemicals have polluted more than 126 public drinking water systems in 86 Massachusetts communities, the suit said.
City Councilor Quinton Zondervan wants the city to switch to MWRA water permanently because of Cambridge's elevated PFAS levels.
“We just don’t know what is, or is not, a safe level. And that’s a huge problem,” he told The Boston Globe. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Major-Boston-suburb-finds-forever-chemicals-in-17404959.php | 2022-08-29T16:14:31Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Major-Boston-suburb-finds-forever-chemicals-in-17404959.php | true |

Zombie ice from the massive Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, according to a study released Monday.
Zombie or doomed ice is ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by those larger glaciers. That's because the parent glaciers are getting less replenishing snow. Meanwhile the doomed ice is melting from climate change, said study co-author William Colgan, a glaciologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.
“It’s dead ice. It’s just going to melt and disappear from the ice sheet,” Colgan said in an interview. “This ice has been consigned to the ocean, regardless of what climate (emissions) scenario we take now.”
Study lead author Jason Box, a glaciologist at the Greenland survey, said it is “more like one foot in the grave.”
The unavoidable ten inches in the study is more than twice as much sea level rise as scientists had previously expected from the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet. The study in the journal Nature Climate Change said it could reach as much as 30 inches (78 centimeters). By contrast, last year’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report projected a range of 2 to 5 inches (6 to 13 centimeters) for likely sea level rise from Greenland ice melt by the year 2100.
What scientists did for the study was look at the ice in balance. In perfect equilibrium, snowfall in the mountains in Greenland flows down and recharges and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s melting on the edges. But in the last few decades there’s less replenishment and more melting, creating imbalance. Study authors looked at the ratio of what’s being added to what’s being lost and calculated that 3.3% of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt no matter what happens with the world cutting carbon pollution, Colgan said.
“I think starving would be a good phrase,” for what’s happening to the ice, Colgan said.
One of the study authors said that more than 120 trillion tons (110 trillion metric tons) of ice is already doomed to melt from the warming ice sheet’s inability to replenish its edges. When that ice melts into water, if it were concentrated only over the United States, it would be 37 feet (11 meters) deep.
This is the first time scientists calculated a minimum ice loss -- and accompanying sea level rise -- for Greenland, one of Earth’s two massive ice sheets that are slowly shrinking because of climate change from burning coal, oil and natural gas. Scientists used an accepted technique for calculating minimum committed ice loss, the one used on mountain glaciers for the entire giant frozen island.
Pennsylvania State University glaciologist Richard Alley, who wasn’t part of the study but said it made sense, said the committed melting and sea level rise is like an ice cube put in a cup of hot tea in a warm room.
“You have committed mass loss from the ice," Alley said in an email. ”In the same way most of the world’s mountain glaciers and the edges of Greenland would continue losing mass if temperatures were stabilized at modern levels because they have been put into warmer air just as your ice cube was put in warmer tea."
Although 10 inches doesn't sound like much, that's a global average. Some coastal areas will be hit with more, and high tides and storms on top of that could be even worse, so this much sea level rise “will have huge societal, economic and environmental impacts,” said Ellyn Enderlin, a geosciences professor at Boise State University.
Time is the key unknown here and a bit of a problem with the study, said two outside ice scientists, Leigh Stearns of the University of Kansas and Sophie Nowicki of the University of Buffalo. The researchers in the study said they couldn't estimate the timing of the committed melting, yet in the last sentence they mention, “within this century,” without supporting it, Stearns said.
Colgan responded that the team doesn’t know how long it will take for all the doomed ice to melt, but making an educated guess, it would probably be by the end of this century or at least by 2150.
Colgan said this is actually all a best case scenario. The year 2012 (and to a different degree 2019 ) was a huge melt year, when the equilibrium between adding and subtracting ice was most out of balance. If Earth starts to undergo more years like 2012, Greenland melt could trigger 30 inches (78 centimeters) of sea level rise, he said. Those two years seem extreme now, but years that look normal now would have been extreme 50 years ago, he said.
“That’s how climate change works,” Colgan said. “Today’s outliers become tomorrow’s averages.”

Take up padayatra to explain your govt. achievements, KCR told
Telangana BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Monday, challenged Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to take out a ‘padayatra’ in all the Assembly constituencies to meet people directly and explain the TRS government’s “achievements or failures” in implementing the promises made in the last eight years.
“Let KCR decide date, time and start his ‘padayatra’, I will immediately stop my proposed fourth phase of the ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ from Sept.12. He does not go to people and won’t allow us to do. How long will KCR keep making promises without explaining why he could not fulfil those made to different sections with just a year to go?,” he questioned at a press conference at the state office.
The TRS Government should inform the public about the help given to TS farmers like the unfulfilled ₹1 lakh loan waiver, not providing free fertiliser, non-supply of quality feeds and lack of compensation for various crop losses. “What is the point in inviting unknown farmers organisations and making them criticise the Central Government? They should have been to talk to the Telangana farmers directly as suicides are continuing unabated,” he alleged.
Mr. Sanjay Kumar said KCR and family are using official functions like today’s Peddapalli meeting to criticise Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the state government failures too. “We are asking about what is the development made under the regime and KCR/KTR talk about religion. Why is KCR and family silent on the Delhi liquor scam? Why are they unable to squash the allegations?,” he asked.
The BJP leader charged cheap liquor to be flowing freely in TS affecting the health of the people with proliferation of belt shops. “What happened to the assurances given to Dalits about financial help, three acres land, CM post, Dr. Ambedkar statue and others? Where are the jobs for the youth?,” he wondered.
The MP once again requested permission to tour Kaleshwaram irrigation project “if KCR does not have to hide anything”. There was no point in going without official nod and getting arrested, he observed. “Amit Shah is like a guru and a father figure to me”, hence he does not see anything amiss by handing him the footwear during the former’s recent visit, he added.

I recently read that several more states will have abortion “trigger bans” snap into place, further restricting the right of choice to more than 10 million women in these many states that are rushing to restrict women’s right to choice in light of the Supreme Court’s Dobb’s decision.
Republicans are scampering to expand these anti-choice laws, possibly expanding them to include birth control and IVF treatments among other individual freedoms. Instead, this mid-term election cycle, Republicans are focusing their wrath and attention on things like inflation, gas prices, and other pocketbook items.
To voters interested in the pending outcomes, it is important to know that things like inflation and gas prices are transitory and will change regardless of who’s in office. But, the loss of a women’s right of choice, grounded in the constitutional rights of an individual’s privacy to make they own medical decision, is not transitory.
Changes made to restrict the right for women to chose will become long-term changes that will be difficult if not impossible to overcome, affecting our children and even our grandchildren down the road.
So this November, voters in and around New Jersey who care about the unprecedented Republican assault on individual privacy and choice really have a very clear decision to make. To those folks still “on the fence” I say: choose wisely.

New Jersey shopping center shooting leaves 1 dead, 2 wounded
New Jersey law officials ask anyone with information to call Toms River police or county prosecutors
Authorities say gunfire at a New Jersey shopping center left one person dead and two other people wounded, one critically.
Police in Toms River Township responded at about 1:20 a.m. Saturday and found three people with gunshot wounds near Anchorage Square Plaza.
Ocean County prosecutors said a 29-year-old man was pronounced dead at Community Medical Center in Toms River. Another 29-year-old man was listed in critical but stable condition at a Monmouth County hospital and a 25-year-old was treated and released.
NEW JERSEY'S LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR SUNDAY, AUG. 28
No arrests were immediately announced. WCAU-TV reported that investigators placed dozens of evidence markers in the parking lot of the shopping center and investigators could be seen going in and out of a hookah lounge that appeared to have a window blown out.

MOSCOW (AP) — An independent Russian journalist has been charged with funding an extremist organization over donating a small amount of money to a foundation started by imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Russian media reported Monday.
It is the first publicly known criminal prosecution for donating to Navalny’s organizations since they were declared extremist and outlawed last summer — an apparently new tactic that Russian authorities have chosen to deepen their crackdown on dissent.
Radio Liberty cited Andrei Zayakin’s colleagues as saying he was arrested in his Moscow apartment Sunday and brought before a court Monday. If convicted, he faces up to eight years in prison.
According to the Mass Media Defense Center, a rights group that’s helping defend Zayakin, the investigators accuse the journalist of donating 1,000 rubles (about $16) to Navalny’s Foundation for Fighting Corruption.
Zayakin, who wrote for the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta and other publications, spent the night in a police holding cell. On Monday, a court approved investigators’ request to impose a curfew on him between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., bar him from using the internet and phone and from communicating with other people implicated in the case, although it was not immediately clear if there were any.
Russian authorities have increasingly targeted critics and opponents in the last few years, especially after the country began what it calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine on Feb. 24. Navalny is in prison on a variety of charges that he calls politically motivated and continues to speak out via social media. A Russian court last year branded his Foundation for Fighting Corruption, as well as his network of regional offices, as extremist and banned its work in Russia.
Zayakin, who holds a degree in math and physics, co-founded a widely-known project called Dissernet, which seeks to expose corruption and plagiarism in Russian science by studying doctoral theses — especially those written by government officials.
Also Monday, Russian authorities detained another prominent Kremlin critic, Leonid Gozman, on charges of publicly comparing the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany. Gozman faces a fine or a 15-day administrative arrest. | https://www.cenlanow.com/international/ap-international/ap-russian-journalist-charged-for-donating-16-to-navalny-group/ | 2022-08-29T16:39:47Z | https://www.cenlanow.com/international/ap-international/ap-russian-journalist-charged-for-donating-16-to-navalny-group/ | true |
Wanted: 9 smart people to help Arizona use less water, find new sources of it
Opinion: The people Arizona needs to serve on a powerful water funding authority might be somewhat of a rare breed. Good that we're starting the search early.
It’s tough enough to find a unicorn.
Now try finding nine of them.
That’s basically the task before Gov. Doug Ducey and legislative leadership as they search for applicants to serve on a reworked Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) board.
Arizona must use less water, find new sources
Lawmakers earmarked a billion dollars this session to help fund much-needed water conservation and augmentation projects.
And not a moment too soon, given that the state’s two largest water supplies – groundwater and the Colorado River – are under serious threat. We need to find ways to use less water, and we need to find additional sources of it, like, yesterday.
It remains to be seen whether we’ll see the full billion, considering that this investment is to be made over three years. It will be up to a future Legislature to follow through on the final two-thirds, presuming it has enough cash available to make those allocations.
But even if it doesn’t, the state already has about $800 million in hand for water projects, when this year’s infusion is combined with previous allocations and money in other funds.
About $480 million of that is available for in-state conservation and augmentation projects; the rest (and a major chunk of future allocations) is reserved to import water from out of state.
WIFA will play a huge role in that effort
WIFA will act as the gatekeeper to all of these funds, in addition to the loans it had previously offered for water and wastewater projects.
That’s a huge job – and a hugely important one for our water future. In a best-case scenario, the board will serve as a catalyst for the best, most promising long-term solutions to our water challenges.
But it also could become a bureaucratic nightmare that stifles good ideas – or, the converse, it could hand out money like candy to anyone with a half-baked plan.
How much we get out of this investment comes down to how much creativity, good judgment and big-picture thinking winds up on that board.
Many of the usual suspects can't apply
A lengthy state law that was passed with the billion dollars made major changes to WIFA, adding additional powers and revising some of the qualifications for board members.
According to the legislation, the nine members that fill these seats must have “substantial” knowledge and experience in water or public finance. Four must hail from urban counties and four from rural ones, with the ninth member sort of an “at large” person who could break ties.
Members or their spouses also cannot work for an organization that receives cash from the board. Or be a registered lobbyist. Or someone who works for or consults with a water users’ or trade association.
There are good reasons for these stipulations.
But given how insular the water world can be, finding folks with the necessary skills to evaluate proposals but without connections to organizations that might vie for the money could almost be like, you know, finding a unicorn.
Good thing we're starting early
Luckily, the governor, the House speaker, the Senate president and both minority leaders are keenly aware of this challenge – and that’s why they’ve started the search now, more than a month before the law expanding WIFA goes into effect.
They’re smart to get an early jump on this, with everything that’s going on with water. Getting a revised board up and running is not something that can wait until the next governor and Legislature takes office.
We need qualified people rearing to go as soon as the law takes effect, so they can start prioritizing the ideas that come to them – or, even better, actively seeking them out.
Applicants must have lived in Arizona for at least two years. Apply until Sept. 15 at https://azgovernor.gov/applywifa.

The ABMS Research and Education Foundation will sponsor three additional scholars.
Launched in 2014, the one-year, part-time Visiting Scholars Program supports early-career physicians and researchers in scholarship and leadership development focusing on physician assessment in initial and continuing board certification.
ABMS Visiting Scholars are selected based on the quality of their proposed research project, the relevance of their research to the ABMS mission and the certification community, and the likelihood of making substantial progress on the project during the scholar year. Focused areas of interest for the certification community include diagnostic accuracy, competency-based medical education and assessment, equity and diversity in health care and QI.
To date, 42 Visiting Scholars have completed this program. These early-career physicians and researchers remain at their home institutions, collaborate with self-selected mentors, and participate in monthly interactive webinars with national thought leaders in medical education.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Temperatures in the Carolinas are forecasted to be above average this week and Duke Energy is providing tips and tools to help customers save energy – and money – while trying to stay cool.
Duke Energy has sufficient resources to meet customers' energy needs and continues to monitor its power plants, power lines and other equipment to help ensure customers receive reliable service during extreme weather.
High temperatures bring higher usage for customers, which can translate into higher bills. But a few smart, simple tips can help energy users take control of their bill and save money.
High temperatures can lead to higher energy usage and bills as customers combat the heat. Below are some tips to help manage your energy use.
- Change air filters regularly. A dirty air filter makes an HVAC system work harder, which uses more energy.
- Set your thermostat at the highest comfortable setting. The smaller the difference between the inside and outside temperatures, the lower your energy usage and bill will be.
- Close blinds, drapes and curtains during the hottest part of the day. Keeping your blinds, drapes and curtains closed will help prevent the sun's rays from heating your house.
- Use a ceiling fan in occupied rooms to supplement your air conditioning. Make sure the fans are set to operate in a counterclockwise direction to push cool air down into living spaces. Only use ceiling fans in rooms that are occupied; fans cool people, not things.
- Grill outdoors. Using your electric oven and stovetop creates a lot of indoor heat. Help save energy by firing up the grill outdoors or prepare meals that don't require cooking.
- Turn off unnecessary lights. Be sure to turn off lights when you leave a room. Lights emit heat and cause your air conditioning system to work harder.
Energy use typically spikes in the summer since air conditioning is one of the biggest energy users in your home. Customers can also easily track and adjust their usage during this week's heat wave.
- Customers with smart meters can check online to view their daily usage. Smart meters collect usage information by the hour, so checking spikes throughout the month – by day and even hour – can show what appliances and behaviors are increasing their bills. Video and b-roll available here.
- Duke Energy customers with smart meters also receive usage alerts through email and/or text halfway through their billing cycle, well before their bill arrives, with their current usage amount and a projection of what their final monthly bill could be.
- Customers can also set budget alerts, so they know when their bill reaches a specific dollar amount of their choosing, allowing them to adjust their usage and help save money on their bill.
- Customers without smart meters can sign up to receive high bill alerts for when adverse weather is projected to increase their electric bills by at least 30% and $30 compared to historical usage.
Other energy-saving programs, tips and guidance to help you manage higher energy bills that can result from increased energy is available at duke-energy.com/Summer.

Company plans new distillery in Georgetown; will create 45 jobs
GEORGETOWN, Ky. (WKYT) - A new distillery is coming to Central Kentucky.
Blue Run Spirits LLC will locate a new whiskey operation in Georgetown. According to a press release from Gov. Andy Beshear’s office, the nearly $51 million investment will create a projected 45 jobs.
“Our state’s bourbon industry continues to build momentum and reach new heights,” said Gov. Beshear. “This investment by Blue Run Spirits is a welcome addition to the Georgetown and Scott County community and the Kentucky bourbon and tourism scene. I want to thank the company’s leadership for their vision to grow in the commonwealth and add to Kentucky’s position as the bourbon capital of the world.”
The project will include a 35,000-square-foot distillery and a 20,000-square-foot rickhouse and will serve as the company’s first vertically integrated distilling operation and future headquarters.
“When we started Blue Run Spirits in October of 2020, we never imagined a distillery would be in our future, but our unprecedented growth has deemed that a necessity, which is an incredibly exciting prospect for our entire team,” said Blue Run Spirits CEO and co-founder Mike Montgomery. “The generous support of the commonwealth is making this a reality. We look forward to becoming a dynamic contributor to the economic vibrancy of Scott County and Georgetown and deepening our connection to an area so significant in the rich history and the promising future of bourbon in Kentucky.”
The Governor’s office says the approximately 60 spirits facilities in Kentucky directly employ more than 5,300 people.

NEW YORK — Stocks fell broadly in morning trading on Wall Street Monday, adding to their recent losses as the Federal Reserve stays focused on raising interest rates to fight historically hot inflation.
The S&P 500 fell 0.3% as of 10:23 a.m. Eastern. Around 70% of stocks in the benchmark index lost ground. It is coming off of its biggest single-day and weekly drop since mid-June.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 141 points, or 0.4% to 32,134 and the Nasdaq fell 0.2%.
Technology stocks were among the biggest weights on the market. Apple slipped 0.7%.
Health care stocks also fell sharply. Drug delivery technology company Catalent slumped 8.8% after giving investors a disappointing revenue forecast.
Energy stocks made gains as U.S. crude oil prices rose 2.6%. Exxon Mobil rose 3.4%.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 3.10% from 3.03% late Friday.
Inflation, its impact on the economy and the Fed's battle plan remain Wall Street's main focus. Last week, the central bank indicated it will raise rates into next year as it tries to quell demand and bring down prices for goods and services.
The Fed’s last two hikes have been by 0.75 points, and Wall Street is expecting a third such increase in September, according to CME Group.
Some investors had hoped that the Fed would ease up on rate hikes into next year if inflation subsides. That sentiment led to a rally for stocks in July and early August.
Investors have been closely watching economic reports to get a better sense of how much the economy is slowing and whether inflation is starting to cool from the hottest levels in four decades.
The Fed’s preferred gauge of inflation decelerated last month, while other data shows consumer spending slowed. Wall Street will get several more updates on the economy this week.
The Conference Board will release its latest reading on consumer confidence on Tuesday.
The government will release its closely watched monthly jobs report on Friday. The employment market has remained resilient amid a broader slowdown for the economy. That has helped temper worries that the U.S. is facing a potential recession.
European markets were also lower and Asian markets closed lower overnight. Chinese economic data showing a drop in industrial profits indicated that a strong recovery there will take time, amid fresh COVID-19 restrictions. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/stocks-fall-wall-street/507-3309b1ee-fd91-4b01-8504-b7043a507155 | 2022-08-29T16:47:42Z | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/stocks-fall-wall-street/507-3309b1ee-fd91-4b01-8504-b7043a507155 | true |

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) -
I want to nominate Patty Korinek for the Sunshine Award. Patty is disabled and has limited income yet still manages to go out of her way to help her neighbors by making them desserts, helping with rides, etc. She has major back problems, yet still helps everyone, then tries to make it to Eau Claire on weekends to see family and help them. She is a blessing to be around. She never gets credit or appreciation like she deserves. She brightens the day and deserves to be recognized. I love and admire her immensely.

One person died after a group hiking in Arizona's Sara Park became lost and dehydrated, officials said Saturday.
The Lake Havasu City Fire Department on Friday responded to the 1,100-acre park, located on the border with California, and found a 63-year-old woman, a 27-year-old woman and a 61-year-old man "out of water, dehydrated and showing signs of heat exhaustion," the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement over the weekend. The fire department requested the sheriff's office assistance at around 2:30 p.m.
The temperature reached a high of 104 degrees on Friday, according to the National Weather Service. There was no excessive heat watch or advisory on that day.
The women were transported for medical treatment while the man was taken to a command post, the sheriff's office said.
The hikers told authorities that a 31-year-old man who was also dehydrated and fatigued had left the group in search of the trailhead. Search and rescue teams, including hiking and biking teams, as well as helicopters, were deployed to locate the man.
After an hourslong search that ended midday on Saturday, search teams located the body of the 31-year-old off the marked trail system, according to the sheriff's office. His name was not released.
The group of hikers were from out of town "and unfamiliar with the increased danger of hiking in the heat of the day and the challenging trail system during the summer," the sheriff's office said. | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/1-dead-hiking-group-gets-lost-arizona-park-runs-water-rcna45270 | 2022-08-29T16:51:06Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/1-dead-hiking-group-gets-lost-arizona-park-runs-water-rcna45270 | false |

Solidarity expressed with Vizhinjam protest
Attempts to isolate the ongoing protest would not be allowed, says former MP
A protest was organised at Vanchi Square here on Monday in solidarity with the ongoing protest spearheaded by the Latin Archdiocese against the Vizhinjam port.
Inaugurating the meeting organised by Vizhinjam Solidarity Movement, former MP Thampan Thomas said attempts to isolate the ongoing protest by the fishing community spearheaded by the Latin Archdiocese by raising the spectre of religion and caste would not be allowed.
He accused the Central and State governments of protecting neo-capitalist interests. The ongoing protest in Vizhinjam should be seen as a public movement. It should not be viewed as the protest of one section, but people from all walks of life should support it, said Mr. Thomas.
Former judge Shamsudheen presided.

The museum unveils the Western Edge Playlist on Amazon Music, an upcoming companion book and a slate of opening weekend concerts and programs in support of the exhibit
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is set to open its next major exhibition, Western Edge: The Roots and Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock, presented by City National Bank, on Friday, Sept. 30, for a nearly three-year run.
Western Edge will trace the Los Angeles-based communities of visionary singers, songwriters and musicians who, between the 1960s and 1980s, frequented local nightclubs, embraced country music, created and shaped the musical fusion "country-rock" and, ultimately, made a lasting impact on popular music.
The exhibit surveys the rise of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Eagles, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and others who found commercial success with a hybrid of rock sensibilities and country instrumentation and harmonies. These trailblazers' musical contributions were expanded upon by the next generation of L.A. roots music performers — the Blasters, Los Lobos, Lone Justice, Dwight Yoakam and more — who once again looked to traditional American music for inspiration, blending hard-edged honky-tonk, Mexican folk music, rockabilly and punk rock. These artists — along with their country-rock predecessors — provided inspiration to future generations of country and Americana artists.
"Western Edge examines a time of boundary crossing and great communal creativity," said Kyle Young, chief executive officer of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. "This adventurous synthesis of traditional and contemporary sounds not only fueled creativity for generations of L.A. musicians, but grew into an American phenomenon that still reverberates in music today. Along with the exhibition, we are offering an official playlist, a companion book, special concerts and public programs which will be scheduled throughout the run. Through these multiple avenues we look forward to sharing the rich and multi-layered story of country-rock's enduring impact."
The museum's curatorial and creative teams conducted more than 40 hours of filmed interviews and collected an array of significant artifacts for display in Western Edge, which will be housed in a newly designed 5,000 square foot gallery space.
An introductory film narrated by multiple Grammy award-winning artist Dwight Yoakam, a key figure in the exhibit's story, will be presented inside the gallery, along with stage wear, instruments, original song manuscripts and more. Interactive elements will allow visitors to explore the connections between artists who made up these musical communities through audio recordings, performance clips, original interview footage and historical photographs.
A selection of artifacts featured in Western Edge includes:
- The Flying Burrito Brothers' stage costumes —The exhibit will reunite three of the four custom Nudie's Rodeo Tailors suits featured on the cover of the band's 1969 debut album, The Gilded Palace of Sin, including Sneaky Pete Kleinow's black velvet suit with embroidered dinosaurs outlined with rhinestones, Gram Parsons' suit with chain-stitched marijuana leaves, poppies, pills, pinup girls, and a radiant cross, and Chris Hillman's blue velvet suit — decorated with peacocks, seahorses, the Greek god Poseidon, and a shining sun.
- Bernie Leadon guitar — From 1972 to 1975, Leadon played an extensively modified 1962 Fender Telecaster with the Eagles onstage and on recordings, including "Take It Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Tequila Sunrise."
- Dwight Yoakam jacket — This Mex Tex brand jacket, ornamented with fringe, conchos and cowhide yoke overlay, was worn by Yoakam in the 1986 music video for his debut single, "Honky Tonk Man," which went to #3 on Billboard's country singles chart.
- Emmylou Harris stage costume — Harris wore this Nudie's Rodeo Tailors cowgirl outfit onstage with Gram Parsons and during her solo career.

Exhibit overview
The Western Edge exhibit traces the story of aspiring young musicians who, in the 1960s, gravitated to Los Angeles as a bastion of youth-driven counterculture and a rising recording center. They found connection through a love of the stirring harmonies, instrumental virtuosity and the honest storytelling of folk, bluegrass and country music.
These new arrivals found a rich local music scene anchored by clubs such as the Ash Grove, which featured influential bluegrass bands including the Dillards and the Kentucky Colonels alongside American roots-music masters like Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Lightnin' Hopkins, Elizabeth Cotten, Doc Watson and more.
Although the music emanating from L.A.'s folk scene often reflected the seriousness of the times, these young musicians were also influenced by the enormous popularity of the Beatles and the British Invasion. Many of these folk- and country-inspired musicians began adding electric instruments and drums to their performances and recordings, and eventually merged pedal steel guitar, banjos, mandolins, vocal harmonies and guitar fills derived from country music — creating a completely original form of music that ultimately transformed the American musical landscape.
The exhibit also highlights the significance of the Troubadour club in West Hollywood, which served as the epicenter for L.A.'s flourishing country-rock scene throughout the 1960s and '70s. It provided a space for creators to collaborate with a healthy dose of competition, spurring one another to write better songs, craft tighter harmonies and master their instruments.
As California country-rock reached its zenith in the 1970s, including the enormous commercial success of the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt, the exhibit follows the next countercultural wave of roots-influenced rock & roll that emerged from the L.A. club scene through the 1980s. These musicians gravitated toward the emergent Hollywood punk-rock scene and embraced a roots-forward brand of music with their own original songs and raw, energetic performances.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has completed its review of potentially privileged documents seized from former President Donald Trump's Florida estate this month and has identified “a limited set of materials that potentially contain attorney-client privileged information,” according to a court filing Monday.
The filing from the department follows a judge's weekend order indicating that she was inclined to grant the Trump legal team's request for a special master who would oversee the review of documents taken during the Aug. 8 search of the Mar-a-Lago estate and ensure that any that might be protected by claims of legal privilege be set aside.
In revealing that the department had completed its review of potentially privileged communications, law enforcement officials appeared to be suggesting that the appointment of a third-party special master might now be moot. The department had been relying on a specialized team to filter out potentially privileged communications and said Monday that it had completed its review of those materials before the judge's order.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said on Saturday that it was her “preliminary intent” to appoint a special master — which would be an early procedural win for the Trump legal team — but gave the department an opportunity to respond and scheduled a Thursday hearing to discuss the matter further.
The judge also directed the Justice Department to submit under seal a more detailed description of the materials that were seized from Trump's estate in Palm Beach, something the department on Monday said it would do. | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/nation-world/us-review-of-trump-papers-over/507-cc76b9a4-f57c-4daa-b73a-d53dd6c21685 | 2022-08-29T16:56:02Z | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/nation-world/us-review-of-trump-papers-over/507-cc76b9a4-f57c-4daa-b73a-d53dd6c21685 | true |

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish opposition parties on Monday filed legal complaints to press Turkish prosecutors into investigating corruption allegations made by a fugitive mafia boss against people close to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling party.
In a series of tweets over the weekend, Sedat Peker — a crime boss-turned-whistleblower — accused the former head of the Turkish Capital Markets Board, a ruling party legislator, a presidential adviser and others of being part of a network allegedly seeking bribes from companies trading on the stock market.
Peker alleged that members of the group sought bribes from a businesswoman in the guise of “consultancy fees,” to resolve a problem faced by her company. The businesswoman confirmed the allegations to the Halk TV news channel on Saturday.
The mafia boss further claimed that Serhat Albayrak — the head of the pro-government Turkuvaz Media group and the brother of Erdogan’s son-in-law, Berat Albayarak — coordinated the alleged bribery scheme. Albayrak’s lawyer denied the allegation and said he would take legal action against the “completely untrue” accusations.
Other officials have also denied the claims.
On Monday, at least five opposition parties, including the main opposition Republican Peoples Party, or CHP, filed criminal complaints demanding that the judiciary — which they accuse of being subservient to Erdogan’s nationalist government — take action over the allegations.
“We know that the judiciary is currently in the service of the government,” said Mustafa Yeneroglu of the opposition Democracy and Progress Party, or DEVA. “However, we will file a criminal complaint … in order for it to go down in history. One day, there will be responsible prosecutors who will go after these disgraces.”
Peker, a 51-year-old fugitive crime boss, once openly supported Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party. He became a social media phenomenon last year after he posted a series of videos from his stated base in the United Arab Emirates making scandalous accusations against Turkish political figures.
More recently, he has been making corruption allegations through his Twitter account, after he was reportedly advised to stop recording videos for security reasons. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/international/ap-turkish-opposition-seeks-probe-into-bribery-allegations/ | 2022-08-29T16:57:41Z | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/international/ap-turkish-opposition-seeks-probe-into-bribery-allegations/ | true |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on climate change could have implications for a range of other issues, including a case involving nuclear waste storage and a proposal requiring companies to disclose how climate risk affects their businesses, advocates across the political spectrum say.
Two Republican attorneys general — including the West Virginia official who successfully challenged Environmental Protection Agency rules restricting greenhouse gas emissions by power plants — say the Supreme Court ruling applies more broadly to other executive branch actions. And in at least one case, environmental groups appear to agree.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says the court's June 30 ruling, which limited how the nation's main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, can be used to block a federal license issued to a private facility to store radioactive waste in his state.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, fresh off a win in the climate case, says he will challenge a proposal by the Securities and Exchange Commission to require companies to report on their climate risks, including those related to the physical impact of storms, drought and higher temperatures caused by global warming.
The court's 6-3 ruling said EPA violated the “major questions” doctrine in regulating greenhouse gas emissions by power plants. The decision held that Congress must speak with specificity when it wants to give an agency authority to regulate on an issue of major national significance.
Several conservative justices have criticized what they see as the unchecked power of federal agencies.
Some legal experts suggested the Supreme Court ruling also might be cited in challenges to President Joe Biden's announcement last week that the administration would provide $10,000 in student debt cancellation for millions of Americans — and up to $10,000 more for those with the greatest financial need.
In the Texas case, Paxton contended in a court filing soon after the Supreme Court ruling that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission lacked specific direction from Congress when it licensed a private company to temporarily store spent, radioactive waste in west Texas near the border with New Mexico.
The court ruling in West Virginia v. EPA “confirms that this case implicates the major questions doctrine,” Paxton's office said in a letter to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is hearing the state's challenge in the nuclear case.
In a political twist, environmental groups that oppose the waste-storage plan also invoked the Supreme Court ruling.
"No federal agency is above the law,” said Diane Curran, a lawyer for Beyond Nuclear, an advocacy group that opposes nuclear power.
The group argues in a separate case before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that a license issued to Texas-based Interim Storage Partners to store thousands of metric tons of spent nuclear fuel for up to 40 years is invalid because "it ignored the unambiguous mandates of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act” to store nuclear waste at a now-abandoned site at Nevada's Yucca Mountain.
“Only Congress can decide whether to abandon one of its primary strategies for ensuring the completion of a federal repository" for nuclear waste, Curran said.
Like Paxton and Morrisey, Curran said federal agencies appear to be going beyond their authority delegated by Congress.
“I do think there are policy issues here that are enormous,'' she said in an interview. "It's disturbing that the NRC put its oar in on a policy decision that belongs to Congress,'' namely, where to store nuclear waste.
Wallace Taylor, a lawyer who represents the Sierra Club on nuclear issues, said he appreciates the irony that environmental groups are siding with staunch conservatives such as Paxton and Morrisey in the nuclear dispute.
“My enemy is my friend” when interests coincide, he said with a chuckle.
“It's certainly a major question,'' Taylor added, referring to nuclear waste storage. “Tens of thousands of tons of nuclear waste” must be disposed of “and there's no authority in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act to license interim storage,'' he said. “All they can license is a permanent repository'' at Yucca Mountain, a project that has been mothballed for more than a decade and faces strong bipartisan opposition.
The NRC, in a legal filing in the 5th Circuit case, said the Texas license is not an example of overreach because the agency has “longstanding” authority on the issue, including in the 1954 Atomic Energy Act.
"The materials license issued here reflects a conventional exercise of NRC's longstanding and exclusive authority over a matter that lies at the core of its expertise,'' the agency wrote.
Congress has “clearly and expressly” granted authority to the NRC to license offsite nuclear fuel storage facilities, including in the 1954 law, the agency added.
An NRC spokesman declined to comment, referring a reporter to the legal filing.
In formal comments filed with the SEC, meanwhile, 21 Republican attorneys general led by Morrisey argue that the agency is trying to transform itself from the federal overseer of securities “into the regulator of broader social ills,” including climate change
“The woke left is going full throttle in their mission to change every facet of American life, businesses and erode our democratic institutions to suit their liberal agenda,” Morrisey said. “The Biden administration wants to radically transform the SEC and other agencies run by unelected bureaucrats and make them champions of climate change, regardless of what those agencies’ functions are.''
Biden, he added, “is creating a federal bureaucracy to suit his agenda.”
A spokesperson for the SEC did not respond to requests for comment. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Supreme-Court-climate-ruling-could-impact-nuclear-17404918.php | 2022-08-29T16:59:09Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Supreme-Court-climate-ruling-could-impact-nuclear-17404918.php | true |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A massive bald eagle recently grabbed everyone's attention at an airport security checkpoint in North Carolina.
On Thursday, Transportation Security Administration agents at Charlotte Douglas Airport met Clark, who is a trained bird of prey with the World Bird Sanctuary.
Clark even got to show off his impressive wingspan while he and his handler were being screened, the agency said.
The agency even joked he was "giving his wings a break to fly commercial."
Our special guest was Clark the Eagle with the World Bird Sanctuary, who decided to give his wings a break and fly commercial. His airline notified us and we screened him and his handler. Clark is trained to spread his wings, and even showed off a bit during screening. (2/2) pic.twitter.com/SMkQAo65aQ
— TSA Southeast (@TSA_Southeast) August 25, 2022
According to World Bird Sanctuary's website, Clark was born at the sanctuary as part of its program that aimed to release the then-endangered birds into the wild.
But the group said that Clark wasn't released due to scale deformities on his feet, which means his feet could suffer from frostbite since they wouldn't be protected from the cold weather.
Since he couldn't be released into the wild, Clark joined the group's eagle flight team, which means he gets to perform at military events for veterans and sporting events, the group said. | https://www.kxxv.com/news/national/massive-bald-eagle-surprises-travelers-at-north-carolina-airport | 2022-08-29T16:59:46Z | https://www.kxxv.com/news/national/massive-bald-eagle-surprises-travelers-at-north-carolina-airport | true |

'Arrest me because I hit her': Florida woman who punched manager who refused to sell her alcohol arrested
MARION COUNTY, Fla. - A Florida woman was arrested after she allegedly hit a Circle K convenience store assistant manager for refusing to sell her alcohol, according to an arrest affidavit.
On Aug, 23, the manager visited the Silver Springs store located on East Highway 40 to get something, when she witnessed a woman in the store trying to buy alcohol without an ID card, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The store clerk told her she could not sell the alcohol to her without an ID.
Deputies said the woman then walked outside to a vehicle, and another woman – identified as Lisa Muncy, 43, of Silver Springs – got out of the vehicle and walked inside the store and attempted to buy the same alcohol. The manager denied the sale due to it being a third-party sale, saying the store clerk could potentially go to jail for it, the affidavit stated.

When the manager went back to her vehicle and tried to leave, deputies said Muncy came out of the store and began calling her names. Muncy then reportedly opened the woman's passenger door and punched the manager, before leaving the area in a tan SUV. Authorities said the incident was caught on the store's security footage.
Law enforcement later found Muncy at her neighbor's home and when they asked her what happened at the store, she reportedly said, "You can just go ahead and arrest me because I hit her," according to the affidavit. "I went through the window of her car and then I opened the car up," she added.
Muncy was arrested on a felony charge of burglary with assault or battery and was taken to jail. She has since bonded out, jail records show. | https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arrest-me-because-i-hit-her-florida-woman-hits-circle-k-manager-who-wouldnt-sell-her-alcohol-report-says | 2022-08-29T17:06:45Z | https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arrest-me-because-i-hit-her-florida-woman-hits-circle-k-manager-who-wouldnt-sell-her-alcohol-report-says | false |
'The Man of the Hole' dies in Brazil after decades of solitude away from civilization
After living in total isolation for more than 25 years, the last remaining member of a Brazilian indigenous tribe has died, officials say.
Key points:
- Officials say the indigenous man died of natural causes
- The man had resisted all outside attempts to contact him over the past 26 years
- The Brazilian Amazon is home to the largest number of people living in voluntary isolation
The indigenous man, whose name and ethnicity were unknown, was the only inhabitant of Tanaru Indigenous Land, in the western Brazilian Amazon bordering Bolivia.
He was known by the nickname "man of the hole" for his practice of digging deep pits for hunting animals or his own shelter.
The man's body was found inside his hammock in his hut a week ago, without signs of violence or struggle.
Over the decades, the man had resisted all outside attempts to contact him and shot arrows at those who came too close, though authorities continued to monitor him from afar and occasionally left supplies for him.
"(FUNAI) informs, with immense regret, the death of the indigenous known as 'Tanaru Indian' or 'Hole Indian,' who lived in voluntary isolation and was monitored and protected by FUNAI through the Ethnoenvironmental Protection Front." the Brazilian government agency said in a statement.
"The indigenous man was the only survivor of his community, of unknown ethnicity."
In 2018, members of FUNAI filmed the man during a chance encounter in the jungle.
The footage showed him topless and swinging an axe-like tool at a tree.
The rest of the man's tribe had been reportedly massacred in a series of attacks from the 1970s onwards by ranchers wanting to expand their land.
The Tanaru territory stands as a small island of forest in a sea of vast cattle ranches, in one of the most violent regions in Brazil.
"No outsider knew this man's name, or even very much about his tribe – and with his death the genocide of his people is complete," said Fiona Watson, the Research and Advocacy Director of Survival International, a group that advocates for the rights of indigenous people around the world.
"He symbolised both the appalling violence and cruelty inflicted on Indigenous peoples worldwide in the name of colonisation and profit, but also their resistance."
The 8000 hectares of Tanaru Indigenous Territory is one of seven territories in Brazil protected by land protection orders, which make it illegal for loggers and miners to enter tribal lands.
Facing pressure from agricultural and economic interests, the Brazilian government had campaigned to scrap the protections for indigenous people.

SANTA ANA, Calif — Southern California's Orange County has agreed to pay $480,000 to an inmate who was pregnant but suffered a miscarriage after sheriff’s deputies stopped at a Starbucks while driving her to a hospital.
Sandra Quinones, who is no longer in custody, alleged in a federal lawsuit that sheriff’s staff delayed treatment after her water broke in the jail.
County supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved the payment, but Quinones must formally accept the settlement before it becomes final, the Orange County Register reported.
“That’s a very good result for someone badly treated in the jail,” her lawyer, Dick Herman, told the Register. “This poor woman, she’s in jail having a miscarriage and, instead of calling an ambulance, they take her to the hospital in a patrol car and the cops stop at Starbucks while she’s bleeding.”
Herman said Quinones is homeless and mentally ill.
The lawsuit said no jail staff responded for two hours after Quinones pushed a call button in her cell when her water broke on March 28, 2016.
Then instead of being put in an ambulance, Quinones was given a ride to a hospital in a patrol car, but not until deputies stopped for coffee, the lawsuit alleged.
Quinones was hospitalized, but the fetus did not survive, according to court filings.
Sheriff’s officials declined to comment on the settlement.
The lawsuit accused deputies of acting with “deliberate indifference” toward Quinones’ civil rights and her medical condition, the Register said. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/nation-world/pregnant-inmate-who-miscarried-gets-settlement/530-7024b247-e8d0-4ff9-92f4-088cfca5461e | 2022-08-29T17:08:54Z | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/nation-world/pregnant-inmate-who-miscarried-gets-settlement/530-7024b247-e8d0-4ff9-92f4-088cfca5461e | true |

SUZHOU, China, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kintor Pharmaceutical Limited ("Kintor Pharma" or "the Company", HKEX: 9939), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative small molecules and biological therapeutics, today announced its 2022 interim results and released an update on its recent business highlights.
Dr. Youzhi Tong, founder, chairman and CEO of Kintor Pharma, commented, "Despite the challenging market environment in the first half of 2022, the Company has made rapid progress in multi-regional phase III registrational trials, manufacturing and commercialization preparation of in-house developed novel drug Pruxelutamide. Pruxelutamide, which acts as an effective and safe oral drug for patients with mild, moderate and severe COVID-19, has been granted Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) in multiple countries and regions. The second key clinical candidate, KX-826 (Pyrilutamide), is in phase III registrational trial in China and phase II trial in the US. The positive results of its phase II clinical trial of KX-826 for the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in China were presented by one of the leading principal investigators (PIs) at a reputable conference in August. As to the capital market performance, Kintor's stock has performed with a good trading liquidity and been included in the MSCI China Index since May 2022. With regard to honors and awards, the Company's Pruxelutamide's COVID-19 Project was awarded financial support from the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and the Science and Technology Department of Jiangsu Province, in addition to a number of industry honors and awards.
Since establishment in 2009, Kintor Pharma has been focusing on solving unmet clinical needs and is committed to development in the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies. Looking forward, we will continue to accelerate the global clinical trials of our core products and move towards commercialization. Meanwhile, we continue to maximize value for our shareholders."
Pruxelutamide As an Effective Oral Drug on Patients with Mild, Moderate or Severe COVID-19
Following the outbreak of COVID-19, Kintor Pharma has been advancing our clinical trials of Pruxelutamide and has found it to be effective on patients with mild, moderate and severe COVID-19.
On 6 April 2022, the Company announced the top-line results from the global registrational phase III clinical trial of Pruxelutamide on patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 (NCT04870606). Pruxelutamide effectively reduced hospitalization/mortality; in particular, for subjects who completed the medication for more than 7 days and middle-and-high-age COVID-19 patients with high risk factors, the protection rate was 100%. Pruxelutamide significantly and continuously reduced the SARS-CoV-2 viral load, and improved COVID-19 related symptoms. Pruxelutamide was well tolerated and side effects were manageable in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
In May 2022, the Elderly Health Center in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University commenced the investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of Pruxelutamide for patients with severe or critical conditions who experienced rebound of COVID-19 infections after Paxlovid (ChiCTR2200061250). Study showed that there was no virus detected after 7 to 12 days treatment. We will continue to explore Pruxelutamide's efficacy and safety for patients with severe or critical conditions, expecially those who experienced rebound of COVID-19 infections after Paxlovid.
In addition, the Kintor Pharma R&D team published a research paper in the bioRxiv in June 2022, revealing the mechanism of action of Pruxelutamide in patients with severe COVID-19. The paper demonstrates that Pruxelutamide can reduce the risk of cytokine storm and acute respiratory distress.
In conclusion, Pruxelutamide is not only effective for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 patients, but also an effective therapeutic drug for severe COVID-19 patients. In the first half of 2022, Pruxelutamide has also been granted EUA by the Ministry of Health of the state of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and authorisation for use by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Ghana.
As it has been three years since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it becomes clearer that the coronavirus will continue to mutate and sustain for a long time. In this context, effective and safe oral therapies for COVID-19 are critical to overcome the pandemic around the globe.
Positive Phase II Clinical Trial Results of KX-826 For Male AGA in China
According to the statistics released at the 6th Asian Hair Transplant Conference, which 2 billion people suffer from alopecia worldwide, and China accounting for 250 million, means that an average of 1 in 6 Chinese people suffers from alopecia. Alopecia has become a global "dilemma". As a well-targeted topical androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, KX-826 has demonstrated a good efficacy and safety profile in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in China.
On August 27, 2022, one of the leading principal investigators of the phase II clinical trial of KX-826 in China, Professor Jianzhong Zhang of Peking University People's Hospital, presented the positive results of the phase II clinical trial of KX-826 at the 6th Annual Meeting of Chinese Hair Research Society sponsored by the Chinese Society of Dermatology(第六届全国毛发学术会议).
A total of 120 Chinese adult male AGA subjects with a mean age of 35.6 who met Hamilton-Norwood classification (IIIv, IV, V) were enrolled in the phase II clinical trial. They were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to four treatment groups, KX-826 2.5 mg (0.25% concentration) twice daily (BID); KX-826 5 mg (0.5% concentration) once daily (QD); 5 mg (0.5% concentration) BID; and placebo (QD and BID). The primary endpoint for the Phase II Clinical Trial was the change from baseline in non-vellus Target Area Hair Count (TAHC) TAHC at week 24 in comparison with placebo.
The results showed that the KX-826 (0.5%) 5mg BID group demonstrated significant improvement in TAHC as compared with the baseline (increased by 22.73 hairs per cm2; P<0.001) and placebo group (increased by 15.34 hairs per cm2; P=0.024) after 24 weeks of treatment. The recommend phase III dose is determined as KX-826 (0.5%) 5mg BID.
The overall safety profile of KX-826 was good. No serious adverse event (SAE), adverse drug reaction (ADR), nor death occurred. After 14 days of topical application, the systemic exposure of KX-826 and its metabolites in vivo reached a steady state; the blood concentration of each dose group was very low.
The Company is currently accelerating phase III clinical trial in China and phase II clinical trial in the US of KX-826 for the treatment of male AGA, as well as phase II clinical trial in China for female AGA, which has completed enrollment of all 160 patients on 4 March 2022. In addition, the first patient enrollment in the Chinese Phase II clinical trial of KX-826 for acne vulgaris was completed on 24 January 2022.
There is a huge amount of unmet clinical needs for both AGA and acne vulgaris. As the first company with an in-house topical PROTAC drug, GT20029, which has entered the clinical stage globally. Kintor Pharma is currently conducting a phase I clinical trial of GT20029 for the treatment of AGA and acne vulgaris in both China and the U.S. All 92 subjects were enrolled and dosed in the China trial between 1 February 2022 and 9 August 2022. We expect to complete the database lock of the China phase I clinical trial and perform data analysis in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Pre-clinical studies have shown that GT20029 could effectively block the AR signaling pathway and its physiological functions by degrading AR proteins, providing local efficacy while reducing systemic drug exposure for better safety by limiting skin penetration.
The Company will accelerate the clinical progress of KX-826 and GT20029 to bring more innovative and effective treatment options to the hundreds of millions of people suffering from AGA and acne vulgaris worldwide.
Advancing the Diversified Portfolio of Products
Kintor Pharma's products pipeline consists of innovative, small-molecule drugs, biologics, and combination therapies. At present, seven novel drugs with First-in-Class or Best-in-Class potential are in phase I-III clinical stages in China and multiple countries.
Since Kintor Pharma obtained an exclusive global license from Pfizer to develop, register, produce and commercialize ALK-1 antibody (GT90001) for the treatment of all oncological indications in early 2018, we have started the research and development of biological drugs. GT90001, as a potential first-in-class innovative drug worldwide, is expected to be used in the treatment of a variety of solid tumors.
According to the phase II clinical results of GT90001 and Nivolumab Combination Therapy in Taiwan, China, previously presented at the 2021 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, partial remission (PR) was observed in 8 out of 20 evaluable patients, with an objective remission rate of 40% and a good safety profile
On 2 May 2022, we enrolled and dosed the first patient in the U.S. in its multi-regional phase II clinical trial of ALK-1 antibody and Nivolumab combination therapy for the treatment of advanced HCC. The last patient's last visit was completed on 7 July 2022, followed by database lock and data analysis.

De Bruyne and Odegaard continued their early-season form while Kane and Sterling were razor-sharp up front and Firmino dazzled... but who else is in this week's Premier League POWER RANKINGS?
- Martin Odegaard and William Saliba did well as Arsenal won their fourth in a row
- Kevin De Bruyne impressed during Manchester City's 4-2 win over Crystal Palace
- England duo Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling both bagged a brace this weekend
- Who else caught the eye from an individual perspective in the Premier League?
- Below Sportsmail runs through the ups and downs in this week's Power Rankings
It was a dramatic weekend of Premier League football once again, with plenty of thrills, spills and late drama to keep fans entertained.
Where else to start than Liverpool equalling the biggest win in the division's history with a 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth, while their title rivals Manchester City came from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 4-2.
Graham Potter's Brighton and a Harry Kane-inspired Tottenham also maintained their unbeaten starts with a win and clean sheet against Leeds and Nottingham Forest respectively.
While Manchester United edged past Southampton and Chelsea sneaked a narrow win against Leicester, Arsenal stay top after coming from behind against Fulham to win 2-1, but the pressure is on Aston Villa after West Ham handed them a third defeat in four games.
Brentford and Newcastle then rescued late 1-1 draws against Everton and Wolves respectively in what was a striking end to their matches.
But who caught the eye from an individual perspective? Here's the latest top 10 of Sportsmail's Premier League Power Rankings.
Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne was one of the players to impress in the Premier League this weekend - but where does the Belgian rank in this week's Sportsmail Power Rankings?
10. Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) - NEW ENTRY
Across the last year or so, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has often cut a disconsolate figure, his features curled up in a whine of complaint - at team-mates, at the referee, at perceived fouls, at himself.
Some have suggested he has struggled in the great shadow of Portuguese compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, whose arrival switched United's style of play from 'attacking through Bruno' to 'just give Ronaldo the ball'.
But the 37-year-old superstar forward was dropped for the side's reinvigorating 2-1 win against Liverpool and started on the bench again away at Southampton, eventually coming on in the 68th minute to help see out the game.
Bruno, meanwhile, started and played the full 90 minutes in his preferred 'No 10' position behind the striker, scoring the only goal of the game with a crisp volley from Diogo Dalot's cross.
This could set the tone for for Fernandes - and, more widely, dictate how United look to attack this season.
9. William Saliba (Arsenal) - DOWN SEVEN
Four games into his Arsenal career and William Saliba already looks the future of their defence for the next decade.
The precocious 21-year-old, who has spent the last three seasons out on loan in France, returned to the Emirates this summer and has nailed down a spot in the heart of the Gunners' backline.
Often described as a 'Rolls-Royce' defender for his smooth, unruffled performances and elegant ball skills, the Bondy-born Bentley was near-faultless again as Arsenal continued their perfect start - 12 points out of 12 - with a 2-1 win against Fulham.
Were it not for centre half partner Gabriel's mistake leading to Aleksandar Mitrovic's goal, he would have gained another clean sheet.
With just two years left on his contract, that's got to be a priority order of business for manager Mikel Arteta.

8. Allan Saint-Maximin (Newcastle) - DOWN FIVE
Love him or hate him, however you rate him, it's hard not to watch Allan Saint-Maximin.
The blockbuster winger is often, and not unjustifiably, accused of being mercurial and inconsistent, with not enough end product.
But he was outstanding in Newcastle's 3-3 draw against Man City, going on incredible mazy runs before feeding Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson to score, before winning the free-kick from which Kieran Trippier netted too.
On Sunday, Newcastle had been fairly quiet in front of goal - but when Hwang Hee-chan miscued a clearance and the ball dropped out of the sky, it was a half-chance at best.
That was before Saint-Maximin absolutely walloped it into the bottom corner. Great technique, great goal, great player. Last-minute scenes for Newcastle.
Newcastle's Allan Saint-Maximin scored a 90th-minute equaliser against Wolves with a volley
7. Harry Kane (Tottenham) - NEW ENTRY
August goal drought? What August goal drought?
Harry Kane starts seasons slowly, goes the theory. Well, after a double against Nottingham Forest, Kane has four goals in the first four games and Tottenham are third.
That could have been even more were it not for Forest goalkeeper Dean Henderson's brilliant save - what a signing he has been, by the way - but that failed spot-kick shouldn't taint his overall performance.
The England captain was razor-sharp and although his first goal was not the cleanest strike and his second was very close to being ruled out for offside, they all count.
Harry Kane missed a penalty but still got on the scoresheet twice against Nottingham Forest
6. Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) - NEW ENTRY
It hadn't been an ideal start for Raheem Sterling at Chelsea. Lots of transfer uncertainty off the pitch after new owner Todd Boehly's arrival and on the pitch it wasn't much better either.
Scraping past relegation contenders Everton thanks to a penalty, throwing the result away in a 2-2 draw vs Tottenham, getting thrashed 3-0 by Leeds and then less than half an hour into Saturday's match against Leicester, Conor Gallagher was sent off.
Sure, his first goal was deflected and there was a touch of fortune about it. But he got into the right position to shoot and ultimately score, and his second was much more like his Manchester City days.
A perceptive, well-timed run to the back post and a predatory close-range finish. Raheem's up and running at Chelsea.
Kane's fellow England star Raheem Sterling (above) also netted a double, this time for Chelsea
5. Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) - UP ONE
Apparently, people had forgotten Kevin De Bruyne is a world-class football player. Last season for the Belgian was largely a tale of persistent injury worries and, ultimately, disappointment in the Champions League, Man City's real holy grail.
A clearly jaded De Bruyne was taken off after 72 largely ineffective minutes against Real Madrid in the semi-final, and people were questioning where the all-conquering star of previous seasons had gone.
On May 11, with City under pressure to keep winning and deliver their fourth league title in five seasons - which they eventually did - he turned up trumps, scoring an astonishing four goals in a 5-1 demolition at Wolves.
And this season that form has continued. He's played 87, 90, 90 and 88 minutes so far, looks to be in tip-top shape and is the playmaking and emotional heartbeat of City's wonderful attack which, eventually, clicked to down Crystal Palace 4-2.
De Bruyne looks to be back to top form and controlled the game brilliantly vs Crystal Palace
4. Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) - UP ONE
It's a measure of how highly Arteta rates Martin Odegaard that he handed the youthful Norwegian the captain's armband just a year after moving to Arsenal.
He is one of the first picks on the team-sheet and has no prospect of being replaced by Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira or another midfielder aiming for a starting spot.
Odegaard, 23, already has three league goals in just four games this season - almost half his total from the whole of last season in all competitions - and although his strike against Fulham was deflected, he is a key cog in Arsenal's well-oiled machine.
It would not be a surprise to see him make the power rankings on several other occasions this season.
Arsenal's Martin Odegaard was a classy presence throughout the Gunners' 2-1 win vs Fulham
3. Luis Diaz (Liverpool) - NEW ENTRY
Luis Diaz is going some way to replacing Sadio Mane at Anfield, which is one of the greatest compliments I can give the flying Colombian.
The 25-year-old winger moved to Liverpool around seven months ago, at time of writing, and is already integral to the team.
His all-action, high-octane style of play combines the energy and grit of a defensive midfielder or full-back with the silky skill of a winger and the finishing of an ice-cool striker.
What a nuisance he must be to play against. Poor Adam Smith and Chris Mepham will be having nightmares about Diaz.
2. Roberto Firmino (Liverpool) - NEW ENTRY
Five goal involvements in 68 minutes for Roberto Firmino. That's one every 13 minutes!
The beaming Brazilian striker was largely a bit-part player or rotation option for Liverpool last season, playing second fiddle to Diogo Jota up front and watching perhaps more natural wingers like Mo Salah and Sadio Mane preferred as a striker.
But when Firmino's on form and on song, there are few better. He played against Bournemouth with a massive smile on his face, and with two goals and three assists in a 9-0 win, the 30-year-old had plenty of reason to show off his pearly whites.
He may not stay in the team, but manager Jurgen Klopp knows he still has the quality if and when he calls upon him.
Roberto Firmino scored twice and gave three assists in Liverpool's 9-0 win over Bournemouth
1. Erling Haaland (Manchester City) - NEW ENTRY
The kid's a monster. Four Premier League games, six goals, the 22-year-old has hit the ground running all right at Manchester City.
At just £51million, he could prove one of the best value signings of all time.
He completely bullied Crystal Palace's defence on Saturday, and five of them were unable to stop the rampaging Norwegian.
A terrifying prospect for opposition players. How the heck do you stop him?

Bryan Harsin’s second season as the Auburn football coach starts in earnest when his Tigers open the season on Saturday against Mercer.
Auburn’s game against the Bears will hit the at 6 pm CT on ESPN+ and the Auburn radio network. The Tigers open the year with five games at home before taking road trips to UGA and Ole Miss.
There are several questions facing Harsin heading into a pivotal season. Let’s get right into five questions the Tigers have to answer this season.

Seven potential candidates for Auburn’s next athletics director
Final projections for Auburn’s 2022 season-opening depth chart
1. Is T.J. Finley the right choice at quarterback?
Zach Calzada, Robby Ashford, and freshman Holden Geriner each made a case to win the job. However, Finley’s steady performance during fall camp made him the winner. Finley is 6-7 and 250 pounds with a strong arm and can extend plays with his legs. He’s not nearly as dynamic of a runner as Ashford. However, Finley can get yards on the ground if necessary.
Ashford rose to second on the depth chart by showing his speed and throwing skills. Don’t be surprised to see Ashford get on the field. Harsin hinted several times about having a package of plays for a second quarterback this year. Ashford’s speed makes him dangerous for opposing defenses.
Calzada could still figure in the mix as well. He experienced success at Texas A&M. He had some setbacks during fall camp after missing time during spring football with an injury he suffered as an Aggie against Auburn last season.
Harsin choosing Finley might be the most significant decision he makes at Auburn. If it’s the right choice, then the Tigers could exceed expectations. If it’s the wrong choice, it could cost Harsin his job as the head coach.
2. Does Auburn have enough talent on the offensive line?
Tank Bigbsy, Jarquez Hunter, and freshman Damari Alston are talented running backs. Auburn wants to feature its running game, which makes sense when you bring along a new starting quarterback. However, the status of center Nick Brahms is questionable. His injury remains unknown to the public. How the Tigers replace Brahms is crucial to the team’s success. Finley needs pass protection. Bigsby and the other backs need running lanes. Does Auburn have an offensive line capable of doing both? The answer will go a long way in determining the season’s outcomes.
3. Which wide receivers will step up?
Shedrick Jackson, Malcolm Johnson Jr, and Ja’Varrius Johnson are likely the starters. LSU transfer Koy Moore, converted tight end Landen King, freshman Camden Brown, and several others have also presented solid arguments for playing time. Which one or two will become elite receivers? If Auburn can find playmakers at receiver, it’d make life a lot easier for Finley, Harsin, and offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau.
4. Who is next on the edge?
Derick Hall and Eku Leota are each talented. Hall made the coaches’ pre-season all-SEC first team. He was happy about the award, knowing it’ll open him to getting double-team more often. Leota is capable of having double-digit sacks. Having them both playing well makes defensive coordinator Jeff Schmedding’s job easier. However, Hall and Leota can’t play every snap. Can Dylan Brooks or someone else step in when Hall and Leota need rest?
5. Impact of Allen Greene leaving?
Greene leaving the athletic director’s seat less than 10 days before kickoff caused a lot of noise on the internet and around the program. Greene hired Harsin. People assume that since Greene is out, Harsin will be gone sooner than later. Harsin already was on the hot seat after going 6-7 in his first season and an offseason that came with an inquiry into the program from the University. Seeing Greene leave probably doesn’t offer warmth and comfort. Harsin can change the narrative with wins on the field and in recruiting. Will that happen? We’ll find out starting on Saturday at Jordan-Hare. | https://www.al.com/auburnfootball/2022/08/5-questions-for-bryan-harsin-before-auburns-1st-game.html | 2022-08-29T17:12:41Z | https://www.al.com/auburnfootball/2022/08/5-questions-for-bryan-harsin-before-auburns-1st-game.html | true |
PROVO, Utah (KTVX) – A Brigham Young University fan has been banned for repeatedly calling a Duke player a racial slur and threatening her during Friday night’s women’s volleyball game at Smith Fieldhouse.
BYU released a statement on Saturday saying, “To say we are extremely disheartened in the actions of a small number of fans in last night’s volleyball match…is not strong enough language. We will not tolerate behavior of this kind. Specifically, the use of a racial slur at any of our athletic events is absolutely unacceptable. We wholeheartedly apologize to Duke University and especially its student athletes.”
The statement went on to say that although the fan was sitting in the BYU student section, he was not a student.
Lesa Pamplin of Fort Worth, Texas, originally tweeted about the incident, saying her goddaughter, Rachel Richardson, the only black starter on the Duke team, was called the N-word every time she served, and was threatened by the fan, as well.
“She was threatened by a white male that told her to watch her back going to the team bus,” Pamplin tweeted. “A police officer had to be put by their bench. You allowed this racist behavior to continue without intervening. Apologizing to her parents after the fact is not enough. She will soon be sharing her story.”
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe told USA TODAY Sports that he spoke with Richardson and Duke volleyball coach Jolene Nagel and the decision was made to move Saturday’s match against Rider to an alternate site in Provo.
Both said they were hurt and disappointed at the incident not being stopped and also expressed they had no issues with the BYU players.
Holmoe said the school is looking into the incident and says no further discipline is expected except for the fan that was banned and anyone else identified in making the slurs.
“My concern is for Rachel and her well-being, and the school has investigated up to this point,” Holmoe said. “The bottom line is that we are going to have to do more. We are going to have to be vigilant and continue to say that this is not to be tolerated in any way.”
Holmoe also addressed the crowd at Smith’s Fieldhouse before Saturday night’s match against Washington State.
Duke’s game Saturday against Rider was moved to Mountain View High School, and was played without any fans in attendance.
“First and foremost, our priority is the well-being of Duke student-athletes,” said Duke athletic director Nina King in a statement from the school. “They should always have the opportunity to compete in an inclusive, anti-racist environment which promotes equality and fair play. Following extremely unfortunate circumstances at Friday night’s match at BYU, we are compelled to shift today’s match against Rider to a different location to afford both teams the safest atmosphere for competition.
“We are appreciative of the support from BYU’s athletic administration as we navigate this troubling situation. I have been in touch with the student-athletes who have been deeply impacted, will continue to support them in every way possible and look forward to connecting further upon their return from Provo.” | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/fan-banned-for-racist-incident-at-brigham-young-university-volleyball-game/ | 2022-08-29T17:14:05Z | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/fan-banned-for-racist-incident-at-brigham-young-university-volleyball-game/ | true |
Washington Commanders rookie RB shot in possible attempted robbery or carjacking, police say
Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot during an attempted robbery or carjacking, the NFL team said Sunday night.
The 23-year-old former Alabama player was taken to a hospital with what the team called non-life-threatening injuries. The team said in a statement staff members were with Robinson at the hospital.
Coach Ron Rivera said he had been with Robinson.
"He is in good spirits and wanted me to thank everyone for their kind words, prayers & support," Rivera said on Twitter. "He wants his teammates to know he appreciates them all for reaching out and he loves them all & will be back soon doing what he does best."
D.C. police reported a shooting in the northeast section of the city and said it was on the lookout for two possible suspects.
Robinson, a third-round draft pick, was expected to start for the Commanders this season. He had been particularly impressive during training camp and preseason games, likely earning the job over incumbent Antonio Gibson.
"Brian's been great," offensive coordinator Scott Turner said recently. "He's a real serious guy. Football is extremely important to him. He takes a lot of pride in being a physical runner."
Robinson traveled with the team for its preseason finale at Baltimore on Saturday night but did not dress.
The 6-foot-1, 228-pound back rushed for 1,343 yards and 14 touchdowns last season at Alabama. The Commanders selected him with the 98th pick in the draft. | https://www.wesh.com/article/washington-commanders-rookie-rb-shot-in-dc/41018707 | 2022-08-29T17:20:43Z | https://www.wesh.com/article/washington-commanders-rookie-rb-shot-in-dc/41018707 | true |

Bruce Rose has seen first-hand the difference alcohol recovery schemes can make to people across Scotland.
After losing the Fife stairlift business he ran with his wife for two decades to the 2008 financial crash, he found himself spending more time volunteering instead.
His passion for supporting others led him to manage a rehab centre in Evanton, near Tain, and then he branched out with his own not-for-profit organisation.
Now, he’s preparing the mammoth challenge of traversing the scenic North Coast 500 on a unicycle to raise awareness of the help on offer.
Bruce was director of Bruman Access, a disabled access equipment business in Rosyth, before volunteering led him to the alcohol recovery work.
How does Bruce help recovering alcoholics?
Bruce runs Alcohol Recovery Scotland, which uses a process called The Sinclair Method to reduce people’s dependency.
It boasts a 78% success rate, using NHS-licensed medication to reduce the enjoyment from drinking.
“When I was in the rehab, you’re putting programmes in place that are very strict,” Bruce explained.
“And the relapse rates were just a constant battle to fight, keeping guys sober.
“But now a huge, huge chunk of every phone call I have with clients is positive.
“I have seen success after success with it.”
Learning to ride
This time two years ago, Bruce had never ridden a unicycle before.
But, wanting to get the word out and help others, he set himself a “crazy” goal.
He recalled: “It was Christmas 2020, and I was lying in bed and saw a YouTube video of a guy who unicycled around the world.
“I thought ‘that looks dead easy’ – completely forgetting the lad was only 18.”
Bruce bought his first unicycle on January 8, 2021, and spent around six hours every night during the Covid lockdown practising.
It took around six months before he was able to travel 300 yards without stopping or falling off.
Now he’s able to travel for miles at a time, reaching blistering speeds of up to 8mph.
“If I hadn’t been doing it with the idea of the NC500 I would have tried for a few weeks and stopped,” he admitted.
“But I’m stubborn. And when you’re out on a unicycle it draws attention – and this is going to help raise awareness.”
Final preparations for unicycle challenge
On Saturday, September 17, Bruce will set off from Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s football ground.
He’ll first head towards Beauly, before joining the scenic 516-mile route.
Bruce added: “I’ll start off doing 20 miles a day, then ramp up to 25, and in the last week I should be at 30 a day.
“It’s actually not bad fitness-wise, but it is sore on the back because you’re in one position constantly.
“You just have to jump off every now and then, move around a bit.”
The 55-year-old won’t be tackling the challenge alone – as his wife Mandy and friends will be keeping close tabs along the way.
They’ll be following closely in a six-berth campervan, provided by Adventure Motorhome Hire in Dunfermline for the duration of the trip.
And they’ve had further support from Asda, Branding by Amber, Librizzi International, Royal Dornoch Golf Club and Unicycle.com
Bruce is also collecting donations for the cause through crowdfunding platform gofundme. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/3634828/north-man-helping-recovering-alcoholics-to-cycle-nc500-for-awareness/ | 2022-08-29T17:27:03Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/3634828/north-man-helping-recovering-alcoholics-to-cycle-nc500-for-awareness/ | false |

Tishomingo Indians
Tishomingo Indians Preview
TISHOMINGO, Okla. (KXII) - For the Tishomingo Indians, they come into 2022 searching for their first winning season in over eight years. Yet, this season shows promise with eight starters back for the Indians on the defensive side of the ball which will look to rely on a very dynamic front seven to lead the charge.
“I’ve told our team this. The front seven, the four defensive lineman and three linebackers, are the teeth of our defense. So, I mean they’re the heart and the soul of our defense. They’re the ones who are going to have to tow the line,” said Tishomingo defensive coordinator Jeff Alexander.
Players have started to see major differences in this year’s team as they finally settle into their roles this season.
Tishomingo linebacker Colby Gray said, “It’s night and day, last year we were getting everybody figured out and this year we know who’s going to go where and just our strength and overall physical fitness is way up than what it was last year.”
For the Indians this off-season, their foundation has started with a whole new dedication to their strength and conditioning.
“We’ve been running the track about maybe forty times here and there and we’ve been lifting a lot. A lot of us have new maxes, we’ve been working our tails off to the best of our ability and it’s shown. We’ve all grown as a team,” said Tishomingo guard Nate Copeland.

The museum unveils the Western Edge Playlist on Amazon Music, an upcoming companion book and a slate of opening weekend concerts and programs in support of the exhibit
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is set to open its next major exhibition, Western Edge: The Roots and Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock, presented by City National Bank, on Friday, Sept. 30, for a nearly three-year run.
Western Edge will trace the Los Angeles-based communities of visionary singers, songwriters and musicians who, between the 1960s and 1980s, frequented local nightclubs, embraced country music, created and shaped the musical fusion "country-rock" and, ultimately, made a lasting impact on popular music.
The exhibit surveys the rise of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Eagles, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and others who found commercial success with a hybrid of rock sensibilities and country instrumentation and harmonies. These trailblazers' musical contributions were expanded upon by the next generation of L.A. roots music performers — the Blasters, Los Lobos, Lone Justice, Dwight Yoakam and more — who once again looked to traditional American music for inspiration, blending hard-edged honky-tonk, Mexican folk music, rockabilly and punk rock. These artists — along with their country-rock predecessors — provided inspiration to future generations of country and Americana artists.
"Western Edge examines a time of boundary crossing and great communal creativity," said Kyle Young, chief executive officer of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. "This adventurous synthesis of traditional and contemporary sounds not only fueled creativity for generations of L.A. musicians, but grew into an American phenomenon that still reverberates in music today. Along with the exhibition, we are offering an official playlist, a companion book, special concerts and public programs which will be scheduled throughout the run. Through these multiple avenues we look forward to sharing the rich and multi-layered story of country-rock's enduring impact."
The museum's curatorial and creative teams conducted more than 40 hours of filmed interviews and collected an array of significant artifacts for display in Western Edge, which will be housed in a newly designed 5,000 square foot gallery space.
An introductory film narrated by multiple Grammy award-winning artist Dwight Yoakam, a key figure in the exhibit's story, will be presented inside the gallery, along with stage wear, instruments, original song manuscripts and more. Interactive elements will allow visitors to explore the connections between artists who made up these musical communities through audio recordings, performance clips, original interview footage and historical photographs.
A selection of artifacts featured in Western Edge includes:
- The Flying Burrito Brothers' stage costumes —The exhibit will reunite three of the four custom Nudie's Rodeo Tailors suits featured on the cover of the band's 1969 debut album, The Gilded Palace of Sin, including Sneaky Pete Kleinow's black velvet suit with embroidered dinosaurs outlined with rhinestones, Gram Parsons' suit with chain-stitched marijuana leaves, poppies, pills, pinup girls, and a radiant cross, and Chris Hillman's blue velvet suit — decorated with peacocks, seahorses, the Greek god Poseidon, and a shining sun.
- Bernie Leadon guitar — From 1972 to 1975, Leadon played an extensively modified 1962 Fender Telecaster with the Eagles onstage and on recordings, including "Take It Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Tequila Sunrise."
- Dwight Yoakam jacket — This Mex Tex brand jacket, ornamented with fringe, conchos and cowhide yoke overlay, was worn by Yoakam in the 1986 music video for his debut single, "Honky Tonk Man," which went to #3 on Billboard's country singles chart.
- Emmylou Harris stage costume — Harris wore this Nudie's Rodeo Tailors cowgirl outfit onstage with Gram Parsons and during her solo career.
- Louie Pérez manuscript — Pérez's handwritten lyrics to the title track of Los Lobos' 1984 album, How Will the Wolf Survive?, co-written by David Hidalgo.
- Michael Nesmith stage costume — Nudie's Rodeo Tailors designed the elaborately embroidered, rhinestone-accented ensemble for Michael Nesmith of the Monkees, c. 1967. It is ornamented with chain-stitched peacocks, orchids, musical notes and American flag motifs.
- Dave Alvin guitar — The battle-scarred 1964 Fender Mustang was Alvin's primary guitar with the Blasters and the Knitters. The first electric guitar he owned, it still has bits of glass embedded in it from beer bottles thrown at Alvin by rowdy audience members.
- Jeff Hanna stage costume — These leather chaps and vest, ornamented with silver conchos, were part of the cowboy outfit worn by Jeff Hanna on the cover of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's album All the Good Times (1971).
Watch a video recap of the museum's exhibit announcement events in Los Angeles and Nashville, which included performances by Yoakam, Chris Hillman, Emmylou Harris and Jeff Hanna.
Western Edge Playlist
In anticipation of the opening, the official Western Edge Playlist is now available on Amazon Music. The Western Edge Playlist on Amazon Music features songs compiled in collaboration with the exhibit's curators and follows the Western Edge exhibit's narrative across three decades of music.
The playlist is organized into three eras, representing the breadth and depth of the music. Songs from a variety of artists are included, from country-rock pioneers the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, the Dillards, International Submarine Band, Taj Mahal and more, to artists who solidified the movement and took it to new heights, including Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Eagles, Flying Burrito Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Michael Nesmith & the First National Band, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Linda Ronstadt and Neil Young, among others.
The playlist is rounded out by the next wave of influential roots-inspired L.A. artists, including the Blasters, Desert Rose Band, the Knitters, Lone Justice, Los Lobos, Maria McKee, Rank and File, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam and more.
Exhibit companion book
An illustrated and in-depth exhibit companion book will supplement the gallery presentation, with a foreword by Linda Ronstadt and a main essay by longtime Los Angeles music journalist Randy Lewis.
The book, available on Sept. 30, will feature historical photographs and artifacts from the exhibit, as well as supporting essays by Mary Katherine Aldin, Dave Alvin, James Austin, Alison Brown, Steve Fishell and Holly George-Warren.
Opening weekend concerts and programming
In support of the exhibit's debut, the museum will host two opening weekend concerts, including the reunion and final performance of the Desert Rose Band, as well as a host of newly added discussions and performances. The concerts and programs are made possible in part by the Academy of Country Music and exhibit travel partner American Airlines. Family programs will also be offered in the Taylor Swift Education Center.
To purchase admission to opening weekend programming, visit the museum's website here. Tickets for the CMA Theater concerts are on-sale now with a limited number still available. All other programs in the Ford Theater and Taylor Swift Education Center are included with museum admission and can be reserved this Friday, Aug. 26, beginning at noon Central.

Exhibit overview
The Western Edge exhibit traces the story of aspiring young musicians who, in the 1960s, gravitated to Los Angeles as a bastion of youth-driven counterculture and a rising recording center. They found connection through a love of the stirring harmonies, instrumental virtuosity and the honest storytelling of folk, bluegrass and country music.
These new arrivals found a rich local music scene anchored by clubs such as the Ash Grove, which featured influential bluegrass bands including the Dillards and the Kentucky Colonels alongside American roots-music masters like Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Lightnin' Hopkins, Elizabeth Cotten, Doc Watson and more.
Although the music emanating from L.A.'s folk scene often reflected the seriousness of the times, these young musicians were also influenced by the enormous popularity of the Beatles and the British Invasion. Many of these folk- and country-inspired musicians began adding electric instruments and drums to their performances and recordings, and eventually merged pedal steel guitar, banjos, mandolins, vocal harmonies and guitar fills derived from country music — creating a completely original form of music that ultimately transformed the American musical landscape.
The exhibit also highlights the significance of the Troubadour club in West Hollywood, which served as the epicenter for L.A.'s flourishing country-rock scene throughout the 1960s and '70s. It provided a space for creators to collaborate with a healthy dose of competition, spurring one another to write better songs, craft tighter harmonies and master their instruments.
As California country-rock reached its zenith in the 1970s, including the enormous commercial success of the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt, the exhibit follows the next countercultural wave of roots-influenced rock & roll that emerged from the L.A. club scene through the 1980s. These musicians gravitated toward the emergent Hollywood punk-rock scene and embraced a roots-forward brand of music with their own original songs and raw, energetic performances.

PRESS RELEASE: SSH Communications Security Named an Overall Leader in the 2022 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass Report
SSH was selected as an overall leader on the PAM market and as a leader in the Innovation, Product, Market, and Market Champion categories. SSH’s approach to privileged access management in the hybrid cloud is confirmed as one of the best management systems for future-driven organizations.
The Leadership Compass for CIEM & Dynamic Resource Entitlement & Access Management (DREAM) 2022 report provides an overview of the best platforms from established CIEM and PAM vendors that offer components to manage privileged access in the cloud.
This year, SSH was selected by KuppingerCole as an overall leader on the PAM market and a leader in the Innovation, Product, Market, and Market Champion categories. SSH offers PrivX as a best-of-breed and futureproof solution for the PAM market.
"PrivX is by its nature ideal for DevOps teams looking for privileged access with ephemeral certificate delivery at its core,” wrote Paul Fisher, a KuppingerCole analyst and the author of the report. "This is a highly scalable, highly compatible credential management system which already serves well for PAM and DevOps cloud users coming in from remote locations.”
What is DREAM?
A dynamic hybrid and multi-cloud architecture with dynamic access have become essential to organizations seeking the speed and flexibility necessary to run applications and tools needed for fast-changing markets and challenging operating conditions.
KuppingerCole has identified the Dynamic Resource Entitlement and Access Management (DREAM) classification to measure the growing number of platforms that meet these new challenges created by the new IT architecture and cloud access. The capabilities of traditional access management platforms such as role-based IGA, IAM, and PAM are not enough anymore.
Never trust, always verify
One of the core capabilities of PrivX is Just-in-Time (JIT) access, which provides temporary certificate-based access for SSH and RDP protocol authentication. JIT access ensures that all access is always temporary and granted just when making a connection to the target.
”Static passwords, certificates, and keys are the way of the past. With PrivX, you can go to real-time access control and become passwordless and keyless to protect your critical data at rest, in transit, and in use. Additionally, role-based access control (RBAC) automation helps you to reduce manual errors and increase the efficiency of privileged users’ access management. We offer Defensive Cybersecurity solutions that enable customers to grant Just-in-Time and Just-Enough-Access to their critical data, both on-premise and in various clouds,” says SSH CEO Dr. Teemu Tunkelo. "The report confirms that SSH’s products are proven in use, are futureproof, and built with state-of-the-art technologies.”

Companies are being urged to be “real leaders” in challenging the stigma around mental ill health as a new survey found almost two-fifths of workers believe a fear of losing their job could stop colleagues from speaking out if they are struggling.
Research for the mental health charity See Me found 38% think people in their workplace would be unlikely to speak about a mental health problem for fear of losing their job.
The same proportion also believe people would keep difficulties with their mental health to themselves for fear of being discriminated against by colleagues, according to the survey by Censuswide.
In the wake of those findings, See Me called on companies to do more to tackle the stigma surrounding mental ill health.
Director Wendy Halliday said: “If stigma persists, people leave jobs – it doesn’t matter if they’re the best member of staff, if they can’t cope and they aren’t supported, they won’t stay.”
She added: “Tackling stigma and discrimination at work is more than just putting up posters and arranging wellbeing sessions – there needs to be a thorough and considered drive to improve cultures, policies and practices to remove stigma.
“If workplaces properly support staff struggling with their mental health then it can increase productivity, reduce sickness rates and help employees return to work quicker.
“We’re calling on organisations to be real leaders in creating positive change, making their workplaces the best they can be, by joining the See Me in Work programme. They can save money, enhance their reputation and improve the working lives of every one of their employees.”
See Me ambassador and BBC technology reporter Shiona McCallum kept her experiences of PTSD to herself as she was worried about the impact it would have on her career and how people in work would react.
She said: “I really struggled to cope with it and I didn’t think people would listen properly and understand it, because on the outside everything looked normal. I spent a lot of time worrying.
“I had to eventually take time off work when everything got bad. I went over and over in my head, thinking my colleagues wouldn’t understand why I was off, that my boss wouldn’t get it and then I wouldn’t be given any responsibility at work.
“I thought it would lead to a backwards step with my career because people would judge me.”
When she did open up to her manager she received a positive response, recalling: “When I did tell my boss, she was very understanding, so I didn’t experience the stigma from others, it was almost a stigma that I had self-imposed.
“There’s still a lot to be done in the workplace so people don’t feel like that.”
See Me volunteer Tommy Kelly, from Ayrshire, said he had suffered discrimination at work because of mental health problems.
He said: “To experience discrimination in work because of your mental health is horrible, it feels like you’re going into a toxic environment every day. You worry what you are going to do and what people will think about you.
“I found it really hard to be heard because I didn’t know who to reach out to. Experiencing discrimination can push you further into your illness, you start to believe it’s your fault and you don’t know where to go.”
Ms Halliday said: “Mental health stigma and discrimination in the workplace often comes from a lack of knowledge. People can find that genuine problems are either belittled or not believed in the first place.
“People don’t want to say how they are feeling as they’re worried that their managers and colleagues will think less of them, they might lose their job, or be seen as inadequate and incompetent.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3639058/companies-urged-to-do-more-to-tackle-stigma-of-mental-ill-health-at-work/ | 2022-08-29T17:33:49Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3639058/companies-urged-to-do-more-to-tackle-stigma-of-mental-ill-health-at-work/ | false |
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s president warned Monday that any roadmap to restore Tehran’s tattered nuclear deal with world powers must see international inspectors end their probe on man-made uranium particles found at undeclared sites in the country.
In a rare news conference marking his first year in office, President Ebrahim Raisi also issued threats against Israel and tried to sound upbeat as Iran’s economy and rial currency has cratered under the weight of international sanctions.
Despite the international attention on the deal as talks in Vienna hang in the balance, it took Raisi well over an hour before fully acknowledging the ongoing negotiations. Tehran and Washington have traded written responses in recent weeks on the finer points of the roadmap, which would see sanctions lifted against Iran in exchange for it restricting its rapidly advancing nuclear program.
The International Atomic Energy Agency for years has sought for Iran to answer questions about man-made uranium particles found at undeclared sites. U.S. intelligence agencies, Western nations and the IAEA have said Iran ran an organized nuclear weapons program until 2003. Iran long has denied ever seeking nuclear weapons.
As a member of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Iran is obligated to explain the radioactive traces and to provide assurances that they are not being used as part of a nuclear weapons program. Iran found itself criticized by the IAEA’s Board of Governors in June over its failure to answer questions about the sites to the inspectors’ satisfaction.
Raisi mentioned the traces — referring to its as a “safeguards” issue using the IAEA’s language.
“Without settlement of safeguard issues, speaking about an agreement has no meaning,” Raisi said.
Under the 2015 nuclear deal, Tehran could enrich uranium to 3.67%, while maintaining a stockpile of uranium of 300 kilograms (660 pounds) under constant scrutiny of IAEA surveillance cameras and inspectors. Then-President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the accord in 2018, setting the stage for years of rising tensions.
As of the last public IAEA count, Iran has a stockpile of some 3,800 kilograms (8,370 pounds) of enriched uranium. More worrying for nonprofileration experts, Iran now enriches uranium up to 60% purity — a level it never reached before that is a short, technical step away from 90%. Those experts warn Iran has enough 60%-enriched uranium to reprocess into fuel for at least one nuclear bomb.
Amid the tensions, Israel is suspected in carrying out a series of attacks targeting Iranian nuclear sites, as well as a prominent scientist. On Monday, Raisi directly threatened Israel.
Raisi said if Israel decides to carry out its threats to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, “they will see if anything from the Zionist regime will remain or not.”
At his first news conference, Raisi famously simply said “no” when asked if he would meet with President Joe Biden. Asked again Monday as the U.N. General Assembly looms next month, Raisi stuck to his earlier answer.
“There is no benefit for a meeting between us and him,” the president said. “Neither for the Iranian nation nor for the interests of our great nation.”

A paediatric nurse has praised the “good being done every day” at the UK’s children’s hospices after completing a 3,200-mile cycle between every centre in just 70 days.
After visiting her 54th and final hospice in Bristol last Thursday, Francesca Lennon completed her journey on Sunday afternoon when she was welcomed with a large party at her home in Chenies, Buckinghamshire.
Including gift aid contributions, the 35-year-old raised more than £87,000 for Together for Short Lives, a children’s palliative care charity which splits funding between the UK’s hospices, and received a Points of Light award at Downing Street for her efforts along the way.
She dedicated the challenge to her close friend’s son Henry, who died from acute myeloid leukaemia aged nine in February, and his family was there to greet her at the finish line.
“It was absolutely incredible… a group of children joined me as well cycling and skating the last 200 metres,” she told the PA news agency.
“Then there was just a massive crowd of family and friends there to greet me – it was very emotional, and just an incredible homecoming.”
Ms Lennon, who slept on her journey in a campervan driven by her stepfather, said her arrival at each children’s hospice was “uplifting”.
“I would get there at the end of a really difficult day of cycling and everyone was so supportive and so welcoming,” she said.
“It is challenging times in the country, particularly with the cost-of-living crisis, and just being able to see the good being done every day and what people are doing to help these children and families … it’s so uplifting.”
During her challenge, Ms Lennon attended a reception at Downing Street where she was presented with a Points of Light Award, given to “outstanding volunteers” making a difference in their community.
“It just happened to be the week I was in London so I managed to go straight from there in my cycling gear to Downing Street,” she said.
Ms Lennon said the award was given to her during “Henry’s week”, a portion of the ride in which she was joined on he ride by Henry’s father, and visited the spot where he is buried.
She dedicated the award to Henry, also naming her bike after him and founding her charity – Children’s Hospices Across The UK (ChatUK) – in his honour.
Before she began training in May 2020, Ms Lennon had not ridden a bike since she was a child.
During her journey, she averaged 46 miles on her bike each day.
“I was out of my comfort zone every day because I am not an experienced cyclist but my body’s been amazing really, I haven’t had any injury. I’ve felt exhausted but otherwise, my legs just kind of kept on pedalling away underneath me,” she said.
“Each day felt like a challenge in itself, so to do 10 weeks of that, I think it’s going to take a long time to process and think about all that’s been achieved in that time.”
Ms Lennon said she wished to be “a voice for seriously ill children and their families” who she said are facing increased pressure as a result of rising costs.
“These are most some of the most vulnerable children and families in society. We need to be looking at how (the cost-of-living crisis) impacts them, and how we best support that,” she said.
“All of the children’s hospitals have to raise millions a year to be able to run their services and all of their costs are going to go up.
“For a lot of our families themselves, a lot of their equipment runs on electricity and they can’t choose to turn that off, they need it to keep their children safe.
“Hopefully, the government will identify that and put some support in.”
Ms Lennon said the biggest challenge faced by most of the children’s hospices she visited is staffing.
“Without enough nurses they can’t offer their service in the way they want to and children and families don’t get that support,” she added.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says he would be happy for Son Heung-min to marry his daughter as he defended the South Korean.
Son was again below his best in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest as he goalless start to the season continued.
He currently looks a far cry from the player that scored 10 goals in the final nine games of last term to claim the Premier League Golden Boot.
Conte has no doubts about Son’s talent or his personality and will continue to back him.
“I understood Sonny is a really sensible player,” he said. “He’s really sensible and a top man, a really good guy. If I am to make an example, if I have to find a husband for my daughter I’d like it to be a person like him.
“In this moment maybe he’s suffering a lot that he’s not scoring. But he has to continue in this way and trust himself because in every game he has the opportunity, the chance to score and then he has to be calm.
“We trust him and the team-mates. You know very well the importance of this player with Harry Kane and for sure he’s a bit disappointed that he’s not scoring but no problem.
“For me, Sonny will always be a nut in my team, in my ambition of football.”

PORTAGE, MI – The fatal shooting near I-94, where two others were also shot, does not appear to be a random act, Portage police said.
There is a connection between the suspect and at least one victim in the other car in a shooting on the Oakland Drive westbound entrance ramp to I-94 on Friday, Aug. 26, Deputy Chief John Blue told MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette. Blue would not elaborate on the specific nature of the connection at this time.
Naya Reynolds, 22, of Kalamazoo, was shot and killed around 10:50 p.m. Friday. Another woman was shot and is still in stable condition, police said. She is pregnant and her unborn baby is not injured.

An 18-month-old baby was also shot and is in stable condition. The mother and baby are both expected to recover, Blue said.
The connection between the suspect and one of the victims does not mean that there was a connection with everyone in the car, Blue said.
The vehicles were moving during the beginning and middle stages of the incident, Blue said. The suspect and the victims were in their cars before it ended on the Oakland Drive westbound entrance ramp to I-94.
Police are working to determine where the incident started, Blue said.
A 42-year-old Kalamazoo man was arrested at the scene on unrelated warrants as he tried to leave by getting into a vehicle that was driving by, police said previously.
The man is not cooperating with the investigation, police said. He is expected to be arraigned on unrelated charges Monday, Aug. 29, Blue said.
An AR-15 rifle reported stolen in Kalamazoo County in 2016 was recovered at the scene, police said previously.

DULAC, La. — Standing in front of his destroyed home in Dulac, Louisiana, one year after Hurricane Ida slammed into the Gulf Coast, Cleveland Verodin can't help but think about the passage of time.
"Hard to believe it's been one year," Verodin said looking back at the home he'd lived in all his life.
For this 63-year-old and so many others impacted by the storm, it still feels as though time has stood still.
"Man I hate to go up there, it brings back memories," he added.
But there are other moments when this life-long Louisiana resident knows he’s up against the clock. FEMA gave Verodin a small RV to live in after his home was destroyed. They will likely come to take it back in early 2023, though, meaning Verodin has to find someplace to live or rebuild his old home at a time when finding contractors or builders is still tough.
"Good things will come to those who wait and I’m waiting," he said.
While Hurricane Ida slammed into the Gulf Coast first, it left a trail of destruction across the country. Ida was the most expensive natural disaster of 2021 causing an estimated $65 billion in damage and killing 115 people.
Kentrell Garner and his family have also been living in a mobile home provided by FEMA for the last year.
"When you’ve been through what I’ve been through you’ve gotta be grateful," said Garner who also lives in Dulac.
But there has been plenty of progress made here in the last 365 days. Plenty of these small towns have got critical pieces of infrastructure back online and there aren’t as many blue tarps on top of homes dotting the landscape.
For so many homeowners, it's been a year of understanding the importance of patience.
"Down here we use are to hurricanes so it’s normal, you don’t expect anything to just pop up and be back." | https://www.kbzk.com/news/national/one-year-after-hurricane-ida-storm-victims-still-recovering | 2022-08-29T17:42:58Z | https://www.kbzk.com/news/national/one-year-after-hurricane-ida-storm-victims-still-recovering | true |

Rioter who encountered senator gets over 4 years in prison
(AP) - A Maryland man affiliated with the far-right Proud Boys extremist group was sentenced on Monday to more than four years in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol, where authorities say he encountered Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer as his armed security detail led the New York Democrat to safety.
Joshua Pruitt, 40, was one of the few Capitol rioters to come face-to-face with a member of Congress during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack by a mob of Donald Trump supporters, according to federal prosecutors.
“One look at Pruitt, and the leader of Senator Schumer’s security detail immediately saw the threat and hustled the 70-year-old senator down a hallway, having to change their evacuation route on a dime,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexis Loeb wrote in a court filing ahead of Monday’s hearing.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly sentenced Pruitt to four years and seven months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release, according to Bill Miller, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.
Prosecutors had recommended a five-year prison sentence for Pruitt, a Silver Spring, Maryland, resident who has worked as a bartender and personal trainer. They described him as an aspiring Proud Boys member whose intimidating figure made him an “ideal recruit” for the group on Jan. 6.
The leader of Schumer’s security detail told the FBI that their encounter with Pruitt was a harrowing, unforgettable moment. Pruitt was advancing and only seconds from reaching Schumer when the security detail turned and ran with the senator away from an elevator and back down a ramp, detail members said.
“At the end of the ramp, officers closed and locked the doors. The security detail and (Schumer) pursued a secondary evacuation route. Once the doors were being closed, Pruitt turned around and retraced his steps,” Loeb wrote.
Pruitt and other prospects and recruits of the local Proud Boys chapter often used encrypted communications to discuss storming the Capitol, civil war and confrontations with police, according to prosecutors. They said Pruitt wanted to stop Congress from certifying the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6.
“He personally forced a 70-year-old Senator to run and find another path to safety. Among all the rioters who stormed the Capitol, it is a notorious distinction,” Loeb wrote.
Defense attorney Robert Jenkins Jr. said there is no “direct evidence” that Pruitt coordinated with Proud Boys members to attack the Capitol. Pruitt didn’t face a conspiracy charge.
“He admits that as the events unfolded Mr. Pruitt became overwhelmed by his emotions and true belief that the election results were polluted by fraud,” Jenkins wrote. He sought a three-year prison sentence for Pruitt.
Jenkins’ 10-page sentencing memo doesn’t address Pruitt’s encounter with Schumer, now Senate Majority Leader.
Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes founded the Proud Boys in 2016. Group members call it a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.” Before the Capitol riot, they were best known for street brawling with antifascist activists at rallies and protests.
Dozens of Proud Boys leaders, members and associates have been charged with Capitol riot-related crimes. Some, including former Proud Boys national chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, have been charged with seditious conspiracy for what authorities say was a plot to forcibly oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power.
Prosecutors called Pruitt a “one-man symbol of the angry mob at the Capitol that day.” Many of the police officers guarding the Capitol on Jan. 6 remembered him as an instigator, according to prosecutors.
“Wearing a tactical glove with knuckle pads and a cut-off t-shirt with the logo of the ‘Punisher’ — an antihero known for dispensing violent vigilante justice — Pruitt made a calculated choice to use his thickly muscled appearance to communicate to the police that they faced a dangerous person,” Loeb wrote.
Pruitt was on probation and wearing an ankle monitor on the day of the riot. He initially was arrested on the night of Jan. 6 for violating a curfew imposed by the mayor of Washington, D.C. He has been jailed since a judge ordered his pretrial detention in January 2022.
Pruitt pleaded guilty in June to a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding, the joint session of Congress for certifying President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump, the Republican incumbent.
More than 860 people have been charged with federal crimes for their conduct on Jan. 6. Approximately 400 of them have pleaded guilty or been convicted after a trial. Over 240 Capitol riot defendants have been sentenced, with roughly half of them getting terms of incarceration ranging from seven days to over seven years.

ATLANTA (AP) — A judge has ruled that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp must testify before a special grand jury that’s investigating possible illegal attempts to influence the 2020 election in the state.
But the judge agreed to postpone the governor's appearance until after the November election.
Lawyers for Kemp had argued that immunities related to his position as governor protect him from having to testify.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who’s overseeing the special grand jury, disagreed and said the governor must testify.
But McBurney sided with Kemp's lawyers on their request to postpone his testimony until after the Nov. 8 election.
ABC News reported that Kemp is facing Democrat Stacey Abrams, who would become the nation's first Black woman to be governor if she wins.
Prosecutors have said they want to ask Kemp about contacts with former President Donald Trump and others in the wake of the 2020 general election.
McBurney also decided on Monday that lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who represented the Trump campaign, must testify before the special grand jury.
Chesebro is scheduled to appear Tuesday. | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/national/judge-delays-gov-kemps-testimony-in-georgia-election-probe | 2022-08-29T17:50:07Z | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/national/judge-delays-gov-kemps-testimony-in-georgia-election-probe | true |
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — One of three Dutch soldiers wounded in a shooting outside a hotel in downtown Indianapolis over the weekend has died, the Dutch Defense Ministry said Monday.
The commando died of his injuries “surrounded by family and colleagues,” the ministry said in a statement.
The soldier was one of three members of the Dutch Commando Corps who were shot and wounded early Saturday after what Indianapolis police believe was a disturbance outside the hotel where they were staying, authorities said.
The Marion County coroner’s office in Indianapolis identified the victim as Simmie Poetsema, 26, but didn’t immediately release any additional information.
The two other wounded soldiers were conscious, the Defense Ministry said.
The shooting occurred about 3:30 a.m. in Indianapolis’ entertainment district. The Defense Ministry said the three soldiers were from the Commando Corps and were in Indiana for training.
Indianapolis police said they believe some sort of altercation between the three victims and another person or people led to the shooting. No arrests have been made.
The Indiana National Guard said the soldiers had been training at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, a 1,000-acre (405-hectare) complex about 70 miles (110 kilometers) southeast of the downtown Indianapolis shooting scene. The Guard said in a statement that the center is used for training by the Department of Defense “as well as other allies.” | https://www.koin.com/news/international/ap-dutch-soldier-shot-in-indianapolis-dies-of-his-injuries/ | 2022-08-29T17:51:39Z | https://www.koin.com/news/international/ap-dutch-soldier-shot-in-indianapolis-dies-of-his-injuries/ | false |
MADISON, Wis. — President Joe Biden plans to travel to the battleground states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania on Labor Day, about two months before the election.
Biden is expected to tout the bipartisan infrastructure law passed last year, as well as the Inflation Reduction Act, which the president signed in August.
Both states have races for governor and U.S. Senate.
In Wisconsin, Democrats are trying to reelect Gov. Tony Evers and oust Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson. His Democratic challenger, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, has highlighted his middle-class background and parents’ union membership. Evers faces Republican Tim Michels, who co-owns the state’s largest construction firm.
In Pennsylvania, Democrats are trying to hold on to the state’s open governor’s office and to flip the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey.
The AFL-CIO has endorsed the Democrats in both races: state Attorney General Josh Shapiro running for governor against state Sen. Doug Mastriano and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman running for Senate against heart surgeon-turned-TV celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The AFL-CIO also has endorsed Evers and Barnes in the Wisconsin races.
Biden last came to Wisconsin in March and his stop in Milwaukee would be his fourth since his term began. Evers last week said he would welcome a visit from the president to the state and his campaign said he planned to attend the event with the president. Barnes also planned to participate in Labor Day events in Milwaukee, but his campaign spokeswoman did not say whether Barnes would join with Biden.
Fetterman planned to join Biden next week in Pittsburgh. Biden was also going to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday to discuss an initiative designed to reduce gun crimes. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-headed-to-milwaukee-pittsburgh-on-labor-day/2022/08/29/8ed8a4c6-27b7-11ed-a90a-fce4015dfc8f_story.html | 2022-08-29T17:56:17Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-headed-to-milwaukee-pittsburgh-on-labor-day/2022/08/29/8ed8a4c6-27b7-11ed-a90a-fce4015dfc8f_story.html | true |

ANKARA – A Turkish court on Monday released pop star Gulsen from jail but placed her on house arrest as she awaits trial on charges of “inciting hatred and enmity” for a joke she made about Turkey’s religious schools.
Last week, the 46-year-old singer and songwriter, whose full name is Gulsen Colakoglu, was taken away from her home in Istanbul for questioning, and ordered arrested and jailed pending a trial. Her arrest sparked outrage on social media and deepened concerns about the Turkish judiciary, whose independence has been questioned by opposition parties.
The charges were based on a joke the singer made during an April concert, where she quipped that one of her musicians’ “perversion” stemmed from attending a religious school.
Acting on a request submitted by Gulsen's lawyer, an Istanbul court released her from jail on the condition that she not leave her home, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. The court cited the fact that the singer has a small child to look after, is not a flight risk and was unlikely to tamper with evidence, the agency said.
Gulsen’s lawyer, Emek Emre, said he welcomed the fact that Gulsen would “spend the night at her own home with her child,” but said he would also seek her release from house arrest.
Government critics said the singer's arrest was an effort by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to consolidate support from his religious and conservative supporters ahead of an election next year.
The singer had previously become a target in Islamic circles due to her revealing stage outfits and for unfurling an LGBTQ flag at a concert. A video of the singer’s comment on religious schools began circulating on social media recently, with a hashtag calling for her arrest.
Erdogan and many members of his Islam-based ruling party are graduates of religious schools, which were originally established to train imams. The number of religious schools in Turkey has increased under Erdogan, who has promised to raise a “pious generation.” | https://www.wsls.com/entertainment/2022/08/29/jailed-turkish-pop-star-released-to-house-arrest-over-joke/ | 2022-08-29T18:00:19Z | https://www.wsls.com/entertainment/2022/08/29/jailed-turkish-pop-star-released-to-house-arrest-over-joke/ | true |

Treatment Is a Safe and Effective Alternative to Surgery and Laser Therapies
HACKENSACK, N.J., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Urologists at Hackensack University Medical Center have become the first in northern New Jersey to offer an innovative treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that uses a high-intensity waterjet to destroy (ablate) excess prostate tissue that causes uncomfortable urinary symptoms for many older men. Aquablation®therapy is an option for men whose prostate enlargement cannot be effectively treated using prostate-shrinking medications. Aquablation therapy is performed using the AquaBeam Robotic System, guided by real-time imaging to deliver treatment with extraordinary precision.
BPH is the most common reason men see a urologist. About half of all men aged 51-60 develop BPH, and the incidence rises with each decade of life. It causes symptoms that impair quality of life, such as trouble urinating, feeling like they cannot fully empty the bladder, and needing to urinate frequently — including multiple overnight trips to the bathroom that can impact sleep.
Some 30-50 million men in the United States have BPH, 10-15 million of whom are actively managing their condition with medications (such as Flomax® or Proscar®) or other treatment. In more than one million men each year, BPH medications are not effective enough and patients need surgery. Most urologists counsel their patients to try medication for at least 4 weeks before resorting to surgery.
The most common surgical approaches are transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), in which the prostate tissue is removed through the urethra, and GreenLight laser surgery, which vaporizes prostate tissue. Both treatments may cause sexual side effects such as retrograde ejaculation, in which semen backs up into the bladder when a man ejaculates; in the case of laser treatment, as many as 90% of patients may experience this side effect. Flomax is also associated with this side effect, while Proscar can reduce sex drive and cause erectile dysfunction and hot flashes.
Aquablation therapy is indicated for any man whose prostate is causing an obstruction, and who cannot achieve relief with medication or does not want to take these drugs. "Aquablation therapy is as effective as these other minimally invasive treatments but with fewer side effects, including only a 10-15% risk of retrograde ejaculation," explained Ravi Munver, M.D., vice chair of Urology and division director of Minimally Invasive and Robotic Urologic Surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center. "Aquablation is performed using a robotic system with ultrasound guidance. As a result, the procedure can be completed rapidly and with a higher level of precision that is reproducible from surgeon to surgeon. The advantage of real-time ultrasound imaging is that a surgeon can see where the prostate tissue ends, which allows removal of more of the excess tissue. Aquablation therapy is the only heat-free and image-guided waterjet ablation approach that is available to treat BPH."
Here's how it works: The patient is asleep under anesthesia. An ultrasound probe is inserted into the patient's rectum to produce clear images of the prostate. The addition of ultrasound imaging enables the surgeon to map the parts of the prostate to remove and the parts to avoid. The Aquablation scope is inserted into the urethra. When ready to begin, the surgeon presses on a foot pedal and the Aquablation system advances through the prostate, delivering a heat-free waterjet so intense that it can remove the prostate tissue that has been mapped out. See a video of Aquablation in action.
"Depending on the size of the prostate, the resection time may take as little as 5 minutes," said Michael D. Esposito, M.D., Hackensack University Medical Center. Dr. Esposito explained that the patient stays in the hospital overnight with a urinary catheter and typically goes home as soon as the next day. Patients report feeling a reduction in BPH symptoms right away and are able to go off their BPH medications. "Aquablation achieves years of prostate relief, and we're thrilled to offer this new option to our patients."
High-tech treatments such as Aquablation therapy are best suited to centers with expertise and high volumes in the field of robotic surgery. "For years, Hackensack University Medical Center has been a national leader in the use of robotic surgery, especially for urologic procedures, and we have trained many other surgeons in its use," noted Michael Stifelman, M.D., chair of Urology. "We are proud to be the first in northern New Jersey to offer this innovative treatment to restore comfort and quality of life to men with BPH."
Hackensack University Medical Center, a 781-bed nonprofit teaching and research hospital, was Bergen County's first hospital founded in 1888. It was also the first hospital in New Jersey and second in the nation to become a Magnet®-recognized hospital for nursing excellence, receiving its sixth consecutive designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. The academic flagship of the Hackensack Meridian Health network, Hackensack University Medical Center is Nationally-Ranked by U.S. News & World Report 2022-2023 in four specialties, more than any other hospital in New Jersey. The hospital is home to the state's only nationally-ranked Urology and Neurology & Neurosurgery programs, as well as the best Cardiology & Heart Surgery program. It also offers patients nationally-ranked Orthopedic care and one of the state's premier Cancer Centers (John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center). Hackensack University Medical Center also ranked as High-Performing in conditions such as Acute Kidney Failure, Heart Attack (AMI), Heart Failure, Pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Diabetes and Stroke. As well as High Performing in procedures like Aortic Valve Surgery, Heart Bypass Surgery (CABG), Colon Cancer Surgery, Lung Cancer Surgery, Prostate Cancer Surgery, Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement. This award-winning care is provided on a campus that is home to facilities such as the Heart & Vascular Hospital; and the Sarkis and Siran Gabrellian Women's and Children's Pavilion, which houses the Donna A. Sanzari Women's Hospital and the Joseph M.

North America's leading provider of fertility services onboards certified genetic counselor to spearhead new program aimed to standardize genetic testing and screening processes
HOUSTON , Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Prelude Network® (Prelude), North America's largest and fastest-growing network of fertility clinics in North America, announces today the launch of its Genetic Center of Excellence, a new initiative that addresses the need for standardized genetic testing, genetic counseling and egg donor screening processes. The initial focus for the new program will be egg donor screening, which includes reviewing prospective donor family history and counseling about required genetic tests.
Egg donor screening, which follows professional guidelines from leading reproductive and other health organizations including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, can reduce the risk of certain hereditary diseases and increase the chance intended parents will have a healthy baby at the end of the process. This information is also vital to the donor, as it provides insight into any health concerns for their own future family planning.
"Through its vast network of clinics, Prelude has given thousands of families the chance to become parents due largely to its commitment to utilizing the latest in donor-focused technologies," says TJ Farnsworth, Founder and CEO of Inception Fertility, the parent company to Prelude. "By launching the Genetic Center of Excellence program, aspiring parents can be assured that every effort is being made to help increase their chances of bringing home a baby."
Lauri Black, MS, CGC, was recently appointed as the program's Director of Genetic Services. A licensed, certified genetic counselor specializing in reproductive medicine, Black's expertise includes preimplantation genetic testing, male factor infertility genetics, fertility patient and gamete donor genetic risk assessment, and prenatal testing.
"I look forward to bringing standardized genetic screening for patients and donors, as well as genetic counseling services to support informed decision making and accurate interpretation for genetic testing, to all we serve in The Prelude Network," Black says.
The announcement of the Genetic Center of Excellence program comes on the heels of Prelude's first annual Donor Egg Summit, where leaders from donor egg programs across North America convened to discuss important topics around egg donation, including meeting patient needs, screening and stimulation protocols, and guiding principles to promote continued collaboration, growth, and consistency among the network's clinics.

INDIANAPOLIS (WXIN) – The Dutch Ministry of Defense has confirmed one of three Dutch soldiers shot in downtown Indianapolis over the weekend has died.
According to Dutch officials, the man died on Sunday night in an Indianapolis hospital with his family and colleagues at his side.
The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified the deceased as 26-year-old Simmie Poetsema.
The soldier was shot early Saturday morning outside of a Hampton Inn. Two other soldiers from the Netherlands were also shot in the same incident.
The three servicemen were off-duty at the time. Dutch officials say they are members of the Korps Commandotroepen (Commando Corps).
The other two soldiers are conscious and able to speak, however, the Dutch Ministry of Defense says their conditions are “unchanged.”
No arrests have been made in the shooting. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says the shooting likely stemmed from an altercation outside of the hotel.
The servicemen were visiting Indianapolis on their day off from training in southern Indiana. The Indiana National Guard said the Dutch special forces were training at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center near Butlerville, Indiana. That facility is used for training by the U.S. Department of Defense as well as NATO allies. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/dutch-soldier-dies-after-shooting-in-downtown-indianapolis/ | 2022-08-29T18:07:17Z | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/dutch-soldier-dies-after-shooting-in-downtown-indianapolis/ | true |
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Alton Edmond is the founder of Edmond Law, LLC. He says he chose to open his own business because “I wanted to have the control over my own destiny.”
That destiny focuses largely on making a positive impact on kids in Brevard County.
[TRENDING: NASA scrubs Artemis I moon mission from Florida’s Space Coast | Is it illegal in Florida to use a radar detector in your car? Trooper Steve explains | Win tickets to Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
“Coaching, wrestling and different things I do in the community,” Edmond said. “I’m able to do those things because I have the flexibility to be able to come and go as I please as long as it’s amenable with my court schedule.”
When he is not focusing on business and criminal defense, Edmond is hitting the mat with students at Cocoa High School. He says he has been the wrestling coach there for about two years. He says some of the students have had the unique opportunity to come and watch him wrestle as an MMA fighter. So far he has had four matches and he says watching him in the octagon allows the kids to see the moves he is trying to teach them done in real life.
Edmond says he also donates money to the program and to several other sporting organizations in the county, including boys and girls basketball programs.
When it comes to the courtroom, Edmond says, “My goal is to be as prepared as possible.”
“There is a gentleman back in 2019 that I represented who was facing up to 15 years in prison for a robbery that did not occur, and I was able to get him a not guilty verdict and he walked out of the courtroom a free man,” Edmond said. “I actually brought a different tie to court every day that week because he only had one dress shirt, one pair of dress pants and dress shoes, and he only had one tie. So, I brought a different tie from my own closet to give to him and to help him tie it every day that we had trial until the not guilty verdict.
“That’s probably the case that I am most proud of because that man was able to have an extra 2 to 3 years of freedom with his family and with his children as a result of the work that I did,” Edmond said.
The man later died.
Whether it’s in the courtroom or in the community, Edmond is passionate about serving. “I do the best that I can.”
“I grew up in a very poor community that was lacking of many resources and I am trying to be the person that my community needed more of as a child,” said Edmond.

You can also watch Edmond fight as part of a fundraiser to raise money for local kids Saturday, Sept. 17 at Astronaut High School. The doors open at 4 p.m. The fight starts at 5 p.m. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/08/29/brevard-county-attorney-defends-clients-supports-community/ | 2022-08-29T18:09:07Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/08/29/brevard-county-attorney-defends-clients-supports-community/ | false |
DULAC, La. — Standing in front of his destroyed home in Dulac, Louisiana, one year after Hurricane Ida slammed into the Gulf Coast, Cleveland Verodin can't help but think about the passage of time.
"Hard to believe it's been one year," Verodin said looking back at the home he'd lived in all his life.
For this 63-year-old and so many others impacted by the storm, it still feels as though time has stood still.
"Man I hate to go up there, it brings back memories," he added.
But there are other moments when this life-long Louisiana resident knows he’s up against the clock. FEMA gave Verodin a small RV to live in after his home was destroyed. They will likely come to take it back in early 2023, though, meaning Verodin has to find someplace to live or rebuild his old home at a time when finding contractors or builders is still tough.
"Good things will come to those who wait and I’m waiting," he said.
While Hurricane Ida slammed into the Gulf Coast first, it left a trail of destruction across the country. Ida was the most expensive natural disaster of 2021 causing an estimated $65 billion in damage and killing 115 people.
Kentrell Garner and his family have also been living in a mobile home provided by FEMA for the last year.
"When you’ve been through what I’ve been through you’ve gotta be grateful," said Garner who also lives in Dulac.
But there has been plenty of progress made here in the last 365 days. Plenty of these small towns have got critical pieces of infrastructure back online and there aren’t as many blue tarps on top of homes dotting the landscape.
For so many homeowners, it's been a year of understanding the importance of patience.
"Down here we use are to hurricanes so it’s normal, you don’t expect anything to just pop up and be back." | https://www.wmar2news.com/news/national/one-year-after-hurricane-ida-storm-victims-still-recovering | 2022-08-29T18:11:22Z | https://www.wmar2news.com/news/national/one-year-after-hurricane-ida-storm-victims-still-recovering | false |
