WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. on Wednesday authorized its first update to COVID-19 vaccines, booster doses that target today’s most common omicron strain. Shots could begin within days.
The move by the Food and Drug Administration tweaks the recipe of shots made by Pfizer and rival Moderna that already have saved millions of lives. The hope is that the modified boosters will blunt yet another winter surge — and help tamp down the BA.5 omicron relative that continues to spread widely.
“These updated boosters present us with an opportunity to get ahead" of the next COVID-19 wave, said FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf.
Until now, COVID-19 vaccines have targeted the original coronavirus strain, even as wildly different mutants emerged. The new U.S. boosters are combination, or “bivalent,” shots. They contain half that original vaccine recipe and half protection against the newest omicron versions, BA.4 and BA.5, that are considered the most contagious yet.
The combination aims to increase cross-protection against multiple variants.
“It really provides the broadest opportunity for protection,” Pfizer vaccine chief Annaliesa Anderson told The Associated Press.
The updated boosters are only for people who have already had their primary vaccinations, using the original vaccines. Doses made by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech are for anyone 12 and older while Moderna's updated shots are for adults — if it has been at least two months since their last primary vaccination or their latest booster. They're not to be used for initial vaccinations.
There’s one more step before a fall booster campaign begins: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must recommend who should get the additional shot. An influential CDC advisory panel will debate the evidence Thursday — including whether people at high risk from COVID-19 should go first.
The U.S. has purchased more than 170 million doses from the two companies. Pfizer said it could ship up to 15 million of those doses by the end of next week. Moderna didn't immediately say how many doses are ready to ship but that some will be available “in the coming days.”
The big question is whether people weary of vaccinations will roll up their sleeves again. Just half of vaccinated Americans got the first recommended booster dose, and only a third of those 50 and older who were urged to get a second booster did so.
Here’s the rub: The original vaccines still offer strong protection against severe disease and death from COVID-19 for generally healthy people, especially if they got that important first booster dose. It’s not clear just how much more benefit an updated booster will bring — beyond a temporary jump in antibodies capable of fending off an omicron infection.
Still, “people have to realize this is a different kind of booster than was previously available. It will work better at protecting against omicron,” said virologist Andrew Pekosz of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Even people who had an earlier omicron version still can get reinfected so “you should definitely go for the booster even if you’ve been infected in the last year,” added Pekosz. He thinks “if we can get good buy-in to use this, we might really be able to make a dent" in COVID-19 cases.
The FDA cleared the modifications ahead of studies in people, a step toward eventually handling COVID-19 vaccine updates more like yearly changes to flu shots.
FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks stressed the agency considered “the totality” of evidence. Pfizer and Moderna have previously brewed vaccine doses updated to match earlier mutants — including the omicron strain named BA.1 that struck last winter — and tested them in people. Those earlier recipe changes were safe, and the BA.1 version substantially boosted virus-fighting antibodies — more than another dose of the original vaccine — although fewer that recognized today's genetically distinct BA.4 and BA.5 strains.
But instead of using those BA.1 shots, FDA ordered the companies to brew even more up-to-date doses that target those newest omicron mutants, sparking a race to roll them out. Rather than waiting a few more months for additional human studies of that very similar recipe tweak, Marks said animal tests showed the latest update spurs “a very good immune response.”
“One needs to refresh the immune system with what is actually circulating,” Marks said. That's why FDA also is no longer authorizing boosters made with the original recipe for those 12 and older.
The hope, Marks said, is that a vaccine matched to currently spreading variants might do a better job fighting infection, not just serious illness, at least for a while.
What's next? Even as modified shots roll out, Moderna and Pfizer are conducting human studies to help assess their value, including how they hold up if a new mutant comes along.
And for children, Pfizer plans to ask FDA to allow updated boosters for 5- to 11-year-olds in early October.
It’s the first U.S. update to the COVID-19 vaccine recipe, an important but expected next step -- like how flu vaccines get updated every year.
And the U.S. isn’t alone. Britain recently decided to offer adults over 50 a different booster option from Moderna, a combo shot targeting that initial BA.1 omicron strain. European regulators are considering whether to authorize one or both of the updated formulas.

Peltola beats Palin, wins Alaska House special election
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election for Alaska´s only U.S. House seat on Wednesday, besting a field that included Republican Sarah Palin, who was seeking a political comeback in the state where she was once governor.
Peltola, who is Yup´ik and turned 49 on Wednesday, will become the first Alaska Native to serve in the House and the first woman to hold the seat. She will serve the remaining months of the late Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young´s term. Young held the seat for 49 years before his death in March.
"I´m honored and humbled by the support I have received from across Alaska," Peltola said in a statement. "I look forward to continuing Don Young´s legacy of bipartisanship, serving all Alaskans and building support for Alaska´s interests in DC."
Peltola´s victory, coming in Alaska´s first statewide ranked choice voting election, is a boon for Democrats, particularly coming off better-than-expected performances in special elections around the country this year following the Supreme Court´s overturning of Roe v. Wade. She will be the first Democrat to hold the seat since the late U.S. Rep. Nick Begich, who was seeking reelection in 1972 when his plane disappeared. Begich was later declared dead and Young in 1973 was elected to the seat.
Peltola ran as a coalition builder while her two Republican opponents - Palin and Begich´s grandson, also named Nick Begich - at times went after each other. Palin also railed against the ranked voting system, which was instituted by Alaska voters.
All three are candidates in the November general election, seeking a two-year House term, which would start in January.

One is the U.S. House special election, a ranked choice election in which she is competing against Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich. The winner of that race will serve the remainder of the late U.S. Rep. Don Young's term, which ends early next year. The other race she is in is the U.S. House primary. (AP Photo/Becky Bohrer)
The results came 15 days after the Aug. 16 election, in line with the deadline for state elections officials to receive absentee ballots mailed from outside the U.S. Ranked choice tabulations took place Wednesday after no candidate won more than 50% of the first choice votes. Peltola was in the lead heading into the tabulations.
Wednesday´s results were a disappointment for Palin, who was looking to make a political comeback 14 years after she was vaulted onto the national stage when John McCain selected her to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. In her run for the House seat, she had widespread name recognition and won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
After Peltola's victory was announced, Palin slammed the ranked voting process as "crazy, convoluted, confusing."
"Though we´re disappointed in this outcome, Alaskans know I´m the last one who´ll ever retreat," Palin said in a statement.
During the campaign, critics questioned Palin's commitment to Alaska, citing her decision to resign as governor in July 2009, partway through her term. Palin went on to become a conservative commentator on TV and appeared in reality television programs, among other pursuits.
Palin has insisted her commitment to Alaska never wavered and said ahead of the special election that she had "signed up for the long haul."
Peltola, a former state lawmaker who most recently worked for a commission whose goal is to rebuild salmon resources on the Kuskokwim River, cast herself as a "regular" Alaskan. "I´m not a millionaire. I´m not an international celebrity," she said.
Peltola has said she was hopeful that the new system would allow more moderate candidates to be elected.
During the campaign, she emphasized her support of abortion rights and said she wanted to elevate issues of ocean productivity and food security. Peltola said she got a boost after the June special primary when she won endorsements from Democrats and independents who had been in the race. She said she believed her positive messaging also resonated with voters.
"It´s been very attractive to a lot of people to have a message of working together and positivity and holding each other up and unity and as Americans none of us are each other´s enemy," she said. "That is just a message that people really need to hear right now."
Alaska voters in 2020 approved an elections process that replaced party primaries with open primaries. Under the new system, ranked voting is used in general elections.
Under ranked voting, ballots are counted in rounds. A candidate can win outright with more than 50% of the vote in the first round. If no one hits that threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Voters who chose that candidate as their top pick have their votes count for their next choice. Rounds continue until two candidates remain, and whoever has the most votes wins.
In Alaska, voters last backed a Democrat for president in 1964. But the state also has a history of rewarding candidates with an independent streak. The state has more registered unaffiliated voters than registered Republicans or Democrats combined.

US military sees 13% increase in reported sexual assaults
WASHINGTON (AP) - Reports of sexual assaults across the U.S. military jumped by 13% last year, driven by significant increases in the Army and the Navy as bases began to move out of pandemic restrictions and public venues reopened, The Associated Press has learned.
Mirroring the increase in those reports is the disclosure that close to 36,000 service members said in a confidential survey that they had experienced unwanted sexual contact — a dramatic increase over the roughly 20,000 who said that in a similar 2018 survey, U.S. defense and military officials said.
The latest numbers are certain to anger lawmakers on Capitol Hill who have been critical of the Pentagon’s efforts to get a handle on sexual crimes and misconduct.
According to officials, the overall increase is largely fueled by a nearly 26% jump in reports involving Army soldiers. It’s the largest increase for that service since 2013, when such reports went up by 51%.
The increase in Navy reports was about 9%, the Air Force was a bit more than 2% and the Marine Corps was less than 2%, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the reporting has not yet been made public.
The big increase is especially troublesome for the Army, which is struggling to meet its recruiting goals and is expected to miss the target by at least 10,000 — or by anywhere from 18% to 25% — at the end of September. Army leaders have acknowledged that it is important for parents and others who influence recruits to feel comfortable that their son or daughter is safe and will be taken care of in the service.
Army officials said the numbers are alarming and that they certainly could have an impact on recruting, if parents believe their youth are at risk of assaults. They said Army leaders saw the growing numbers last year and began trying to implement new programs. Already, they said, some programs are working and the sexual harassment and assault numbers have been coming down this year.

COVID-19 and the pandemic restrictions make year-to-year comparisons complicated. Officials said they do not have enough data to determine if — or how much — the pandemic played a role in the higher reporting and survey numbers.
The Pentagon and the military services have long struggled to come up with programs to prevent sexual assaults and to encourage reporting. While the military has made inroads in making it easier and safer for service members to come forward, it has had far less success reducing the assaults, which have increased nearly every year since 2006.
Army leaders said they’ve seen some results with a training program that soldiers get when they report to their first duty station. It is rolled out right away, and has soldiers acting out dangerous situations and emphasizes training on how to respond. They also said they are improving evaluation programs that grade unit leaders, including randomly picking peers and others to do the assessments.
The double-digit overall increase comes after two years of relatively small increases in reports filed by or involving service members. In the budget year ending September 2020, reports of sexual assault and unwanted sexual contact edged up by 1%, as much of the world largely shut down due to the pandemic. The previous year, reports went up by about 3% — a substantial improvement over 2018, which also saw a 13% increase.
RELATED: 1 soldier dead, 9 injured by lightning at Georgia Army base
The widespread restrictions on travel and movement for the military continued during fall 2020 and the early part of 2021, and many businesses, restaurants and bars were shut down or had limited service. Things began to open up as more people were vaccinated in the summer and fall, but it’s also not clear whether that greater freedom contributed to the increase in assault reports.
The Pentagon releases a report every year on the number of sexual assaults reported by or about troops. But because sexual assault is a highly underreported crime, the department began to do a confidential survey every two years to get a clearer picture of the problem. The 2018 survey found that more than 20,000 service members said they experienced some type of sexual assault, but only one-third of them filed a formal report.
The latest report, expected to be publicly released Thursday, estimates that about 35,800 service members experienced some type of sexual assault in the previous year, based on the confidential survey. That means that only about one in every five service members reported an incident that happened in the previous year.
Every year as many as 10% of the assaults that service members reported happened before they joined the military.
Officials familiar with the findings said survey respondents also reported increases in hostility in the workplace, as well as more sexual harassment, which can sometimes lead to other sexual assaults or misconduct. They said the survey revealed that about 8% of all women and 1.5% of men in the service said they had experienced some form of unwanted sexual contact.
Officials said the survey suggested that, based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a woman’s chance of being sexually assaulted in the military was about the same as a woman in the general population. But for men, the risk for those in the military is much lower than in U.S. society.
Defense officials have argued that an increase in reported assaults is a positive trend because so many people are reluctant to report it, both in the military and in society as a whole. Greater reporting, they say, shows there is more confidence in the reporting system and greater comfort with the support for victims.
It’s unclear, however, whether the increased reports last year actually represent a growing problem or whether those who say they were assaulted were just more willing to come forward.
The Pentagon has been under persistent pressure from Congress to improve prevention and prosecutions. Lawmakers acted late last year to take some prosecution authority out of the hands of commanders and instead use independent prosecutors.
Victims rights advocates and others have argued that service members don’t trust the system and are often unwilling to go to their commanders with a complaint for fear of retribution. They also worry that commanders may not press ahead with some cases if they know the accused. Members of Congress argued that using independent prosecutors would make the process more fair, and make victims more comfortable coming forward. | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/us-military-sees-13-increase-in-reported-sexual-assaults | 2022-09-01T00:57:37Z | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/us-military-sees-13-increase-in-reported-sexual-assaults | true |

A county school board in Virginia has voted to require transgender students seeking to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity to present written requests to school officials — and possibly their disciplinary or criminal records.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported Tuesday that the Hanover County School Board's new policy also gives the board final say in the decision.
In addition, the policy suggests students submit signed statements from doctors or therapists to school administrators verifying that they have been diagnosed with "gender dysphoria and/or that the student consistently and authentically expresses a binary gender identity.”
The policy also suggests that students and their parents present a child's disciplinary or criminal records.
School Board Chair John Axselle told the newspaper he wants to make sure students submitting a request “don’t have any ulterior intent.”
"Our overall concern truly is all the children,” he said.
Grace Zweckbronner, a transgender student who spoke at a news conference held by Equality Virginia, said the policy was invasive and “targeted bullying.”

“Transgender and nonbinary students just want to use the bathroom in peace,” Zweckbronner said.
The school board oversees a division of about 17,000 students attending schools outside Richmond.
Virginia law required school boards to implement policies for transgender students by the first day of the 2021 school year. But the mandate was not tied to any state funding.
A model policy published by Virginia's education department states: “Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.”
The ACLU of Virginia sued the county school division late last year for not enacting a transgender bathroom policy by last year's deadline. The case, which is on behalf of five parents of transgender students, is still pending. | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/virginia-school-board-has-final-say-on-transgender-bathroom-requests/3146559/ | 2022-09-01T01:09:22Z | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/virginia-school-board-has-final-say-on-transgender-bathroom-requests/3146559/ | false |
The Nebraska State Patrol arrested four people after finding over 100 pounds of suspected methamphetamine and 9 pounds of suspected fentanyl during a traffic stop on Interstate 80 on Tuesday.
The traffic stop occurred at about 1 p.m. near Utica at mile marker 365, after a trooper observed a Nissan Rogue with a license plate violation. During the stop, a K-9 unit detected the odor of a controlled substance coming from inside the vehicle.
A search revealed bags in the rear of the vehicle, containing 101 pounds of suspected methamphetamine and 9 pounds of suspected fentanyl.
The four occupants of the vehicle were Jhonny Murillo Martinez, 38, of Hyattsville, Maryland; Tonny Guevara Chacon, 24, of Lorton, Virginia; and Rene Rodriguez Morales, 27, and Marta Rodriguez, 38, both of Falls Church, Virginia.
All four occupants were arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver and no drug tax stamp. All four were lodged in York County jail.
The person who called 911 reported a small fire in the living room. Deputies found the woman on the floor with blood around her and a fatal stab wound.
Romeo Chambers, 25, is wanted in Kearney in connection with a homicide and in Omaha in connection with a robbery. Investigators have worked leads on this case in Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City.
The man and five other people used a Facebook group named “Bob’s Custom Clothing Warehouse” as an online storefront to sell steroids and other illegal substances in Nebraska and elsewhere.

Less than four months after the state Department of Justice raised concerns about the effect of hospital mergers on health care costs, Dartmouth Health is seeking to bring another Upper Valley hospital under its umbrella.
This time, Lebanon-based Dartmouth is looking to “affiliate” with Valley Regional Hospital in nearby Claremont. The hospitals said in statements that they thought the deal would help improve care in the Upper Valley.
“We believe that collaboration among providers is the most effective way to deliver that care,” Dartmouth spokeswoman Audra Burns said in an email. “To that end, Valley Regional and Dartmouth Health have signed a letter of intent to begin the process of strengthening our relationship by having Valley Regional Hospital become part of the Dartmouth Health system.”
A “listening session” is planned for next week. Leaders from both hospitals will hear concerns and answer questions from community members on Sept. 8 at 5:30 p.m., in person at Claremont Savings Bank at 145 Broad St. in Claremont, with a video-conference option.
Dartmouth Health already owns two smaller hospitals in western New Hampshire, Cheshire Medical Center in Keene and New London Hospital. The system has clinics in Manchester, Derry, Bedford, Nashua, and also also owns two Vermont hospitals: Mt. Ascutney Hospital in Windsor and Southwestern Vermont Regional Medical Center in Bennington.
The hospital system’s ambition to grow ran into a roadblock this spring.
In May, following two and a half years of negotiations, regulators scuttled Dartmouth Health’s efforts to combine with GraniteOne, the parent company that owns Catholic Medical Center in Manchester and two other hospitals. That “combination” deal would have created the state’s largest hospital network, consisting of seven hospitals.
In a report, the Department of Justice announced that its review found the deal would adversely impact competition for health care.
A 2019 proposal to merge Exeter Hospital and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover with the Massachusetts General Hospital system was also blocked by the state, with the Charitable Trusts Unit finding that that deal would have hurt competition. Exeter Hospital is now seeking to combine with another Massachusetts hospital network, Beth Israel Lahey Health.
Though the move to affiliate Valley Regional Hospital would not create a massive statewide system, it would further consolidate Dartmouth’s control of health care providers in the Monadnock region and Upper Valley. It was not yet clear how Dartmouth and Valley Regional would assuage any concerns from state regulators about competitiveness in the area.
“We are at the very beginning of a robust process of due diligence and regulatory review,” Burns said.
Rural troubles
Hospitals in rural areas of New Hampshire have been struggling for years with finances and running into trouble hiring, prompting some to consider mergers.
Medicare, the federal health insurance system for retirees, and Medicaid, the jointly-run state-federal insurance program for the poor and disabled, tend to reimburse hospitals at lower rates than private insurance like the coverage many people get through their jobs.
Because of that gap, hospitals that serve more retirees and more people living in poverty have tended to struggle financially.
Before Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Hospital were bought out of bankruptcy by Concord Hospital last year, the “payer mix” of too few people with private insurance was cited as a problem, compounded by a costly expansion amid the 2008 recession.
Smaller numbers of patients per year also mean that physicians are performing fewer procedures than their urban counterparts, which can impact their licensing. For some, that can make rural hospitals less attractive — so rural providers sometimes struggle to recruit doctors.
The shortage of doctors has been a factor in the closure of labor-and-delivery units in New Hampshire. Since 2000, 10 of the state’s labor and delivery units have closed — the latest being Frisbie Memorial Hospital’s unit last month.
Across the state, health care staffing has been a challenge coming out of the pandemic.
Hospitals offer lucrative sign-on bonuses for health care staff and have raised hourly wages for food service workers and custodians. Competition between providers can be fierce.
Dartmouth leaders have already been eyeing Claremont for staff.
Last August, a bus route connecting Claremont and Lebanon opened, with Dartmouth leaders saying they hoped the bus would help entice Claremont-area residents to commute north. Billing and medical coding functions are handled centrally for the Dartmouth affiliates, while each hospital hires health care workers and other on-site staff separately. | https://www.unionleader.com/news/health/as-dartmouth-health-moves-to-affiliate-with-claremont-hospital-questions-about-competition-reemege/article_0abd284d-2a56-5bb6-823b-f1797d9e55c8.html | 2022-09-01T01:09:55Z | https://www.unionleader.com/news/health/as-dartmouth-health-moves-to-affiliate-with-claremont-hospital-questions-about-competition-reemege/article_0abd284d-2a56-5bb6-823b-f1797d9e55c8.html | false |
A conservative constitutional lawyer has sued Gov. Chris Sununu and legislative leaders, asserting the state has no authority to use electronic ballot-counting machines at polling places.
Daniel Richard of Auburn also sued his hometown and Town Administrator Daniel Goonan for refusing to let him cast a vote by paper ballot and have it hand-counted.
In a motion filed Wednesday, Richard asked a Rockingham County Superior Court judge to issue an injunction to stop towns from using the machines for the Sept. 13 primary.
He asked to be allowed to make an in-court argument on the topic before voters go to the polls.
A Rockingham County Superior Court judge has agreed to hear arguments on Richard’s suit Sept. 9, four days before the primary.
“Voting in New Hampshire is non-validated and not in accordance with any known electrical and electronic safety standards — by design, in order to maintain the country’s “first-in-the-nation” vote status,” Richard wrote in his latest filing.
During a recent interview, Richard said he was working for the past few months on his 46-page lawsuit and considers himself one of the constitutional authorities on the right to vote in New Hampshire.
“This is a pretty complicated legal argument, but it has a simple premise: The state has no authority to use these unreliable voting machines,” Richard said.
The six-count suit asks the court to either outlaw the machines or, at the very least, permit anyone to cast a paper ballot and have it counted by hand in any city or town.
Michael Garrity, communications director for Attorney General John Formella, said the state has received Richard’s lawsuit.
“At this point, what I can tell you is that we are reviewing the filed complaint,” Garrity said in a statement.
Conservatives carry argument
During the 2022 election cycle, many Republican conservative candidates have advanced Richard’s constitutional argument that there is no legal provision for the electronic voting machines.
Karen Testerman, of Franklin, a GOP candidate for governor, said Gov. Sununu should not allow them because the state constitution’s dominant reference to the counting of votes, Part 2, Article 32, hasn’t changed since it was adopted in 1784.
“He is supposed to stop the use of machines for elections in our state,” Testerman said during a debate of Sununu’s GOP challengers last month.
In 1979, the state introduced AccuVote machines in elections for cities and towns that chose to adopt them. A rule adopted by the Ballot Law Commission identified them as the only machines allowed here.
About 90% of ballots counted in the state go through these machines, though more than 100 towns still conduct elections by hand-counting ballots.
Republican candidate Thad Riley of Brentwood pointed out that parts for these machines are no longer available and some officials in cities and towns have experienced breakdowns and delays.
“France hand-counts their ballots, and they have a lot more voters than we do,” Riley said. “The capability to do it is there.”
The lawsuit cites problems some other states had with voting machines in 2020.
“Computerized voting systems leave an open door for votes to be changed, deleted, or fabricated in violation of constitutional requirements,” the lawsuit said. “A return to the tried-and-true paper ballots of the past, at this time, is necessary.”
New vendors to bid
The suit charges lawmakers with introducing electronic voting machines without legal authority.
“No one disputes that said statute was passed to make it easier to sort and count the vote,” the suit said. “The fact of the matter is such a change was done without the consent of the voters.”
Last spring, the GOP-led Legislature killed several bills on the topic, including one to require all ballots be counted by hand.

MK Dudi Amsalem on Wednesday sent a message to Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu that he will demand to serve as Justice Minister in the next government - and will not take part in the government if his demand is not met.
"If I am not appointed Justice Minister, I won't be appointed a different minister and I won't enter the government. I think the job needs to be done," Amsalem said in an interview with Channel 13 News.
"I do not intend to enter a government that does not intend to deal with every issue and fix the system of the rule of law. Today, this is the most twisted, the most crooked, the most dangerous thing for the State of Israel. I see it as an existential threat to the country," he added.
"The judicial system is important to the country, important to the people of Israel. We are going to fix it. It is crooked at unimaginable levels today. First of all, the Overrule Clause, that is the first thing I will deal with."
He added that in his opinion, "The Judicial Selection Committee should only consist of politicians. There should be ministers and Knesset members. I will appoint an Attorney General to help me function. A law that would exempt the prime minister from the Penal Code will also be passed. This law is necessary for the State of Israel. The law will state that a Prime Minister who they want to investigate - he will not be able to be interrogated during his term in office."
Amsalem described current Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara as "a lackey of Sa'ar. She’s unfit and unworthy" and called for her to be "fired from her position". | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/359070 | 2022-09-01T01:14:14Z | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/359070 | true |

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers on Wednesday voted to let government workers hide their home addresses from public records if they fear for their safety, a response to the country's continuously polarizing politics and pandemic policies that have fueled an increase in violent threats against some public employees.
California and 41 other states already have laws that shield the home addresses of victims of domestic violence and other crimes, according to the National Center for Victims of Crime, a nonprofit that advocates for victims' rights. California's program goes a bit further by also including abortion workers and public health employees.
Wednesday, the California Legislature voted to expand the state law even more to include all employees of a federal, state or local government agency — most notably election workers and code enforcement officers, who have both reported an increase in violent threats in recent years. The bill would let those workers use a substitute address on public records, including the voter registration file.
“It's probably another manifestation of polarization,” said state Sen. Josh Newman, a Democrat from Fullerton and the bill's author. “Nobody really envisioned a time where you would have to protect so many public workers.”
The bill now heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who must decide by the end of September whether to sign the bill into law. It would not apply to state lawmakers or other elected officials, according to Newman's office.
Government workers are often the first to bear the brunt of the public's frustration over unpopular public policies and laws. Code enforcement officers — unarmed workers who enforce local laws about property maintenance, health and safety ordinances and a number of other measures — are often confronted by angry business owners.
Jamie Zeller, a senior code enforcement officer for the city of Carlsbad, said a woman who had violated city policy by having too much junk on her property “posted on social media and told me to my face she was going to blow my effing head off,” she said. Zeller said she ended up getting a restraining order against the woman.
“Most of us who are in this profession have run into this numerous times, where people threaten to kill us or tried to come after you in a small area like a building or a room or apartment,” Zeller said.
Zeller, who is also president of the California Association of Code Enforcement Officers, said threats have increased since the pandemic began in 2020 and many code enforcement officers had to monitor businesses for complying with pandemic restrictions, like wearing masks. Santa Clara County Health Director Dr. Sara Cody had to have 24-hour security from the sheriff's department in 2020 after she was targeted for issuing strict pandemic restrictions.
Those types of threats have continued into 2022. Last week, during a public hearing on this bill, a man who identified himself only as “Mike” spoke to lawmakers by phone to tell them the proposed bill was “an outrage.” He said most government officials are now working from home, saying “the only place you can find them to redress the grievance with your government is at their residence.”
“You guys need to fear the people. And if you could hear the people we wouldn't need to come to your house,” he said. “But since you guys aren't there, we're coming to your house. And guess what? We've got some post office workers on our side, we'll figure out where you're at.”
State Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco who has had people threaten to bomb his home in the past, said the man's comments were “a criminal threat against members of the Legislature” and asked for an investigation. Capitol security officers are investigating. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/California-lawmakers-OK-bill-to-hide-public-17411411.php | 2022-09-01T01:19:28Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/California-lawmakers-OK-bill-to-hide-public-17411411.php | true |
(NEXSTAR) – We’ve seen some stunning shots from space courtesy of NASA’s $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope since July. But have you heard them?
Yes, you read that right – you can actually listen to some of the images the Webb Telescope has captured.
Scientists and musicians have teamed up to offer a different view at the images and data from Webb. On Wednesday, NASA released two track maps of the landscapes of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula and two views of the Southern Ring Nebula. A third track was also released – it is comprised of notes of a transmission spectrum, graphing “the atmospheric characteristics of hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b.”
These tracks – or sonifications – not only give space lovers a new view of these far-off sights but allows those who are blind or low-vision to experience the magic of Webb’s exploration.
“Similar to how written descriptions are unique translations of visual images, sonifications also translate the visual images by encoding information, like color, brightness, star locations, or water absorption signatures, as sounds,” said Quyen Hart, a senior education and outreach scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. “Our teams are committed to ensuring astronomy is accessible to all.”
It’s important to note: the sounds you’ll hear in these sonifications aren’t sounds recorded in space. Instead, according to NASA, Webb’s data is mapped to sound, with music carefully composed to represent details researchers want you to focus on.
The Chandra X-ray Center leads these data sonifications as a partner of NASA. According to the Center’s website, sounds in the sonifications represent the position and brightness of the source.
“In a way, these sonifications are like modern dance or abstract painting – they convert Webb’s images and data to a new medium to engage and inspire listeners,” NASA explained in a release.
That being said, NASA notes it’s a common misconception that there is no sound in space due to it being essentially a vacuum. Instead, NASA points to galaxy clusters that have gases that can produce a medium for sound waves to travel in.
You can listen to each sonification here: Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, Southern Ring Nebula, and exoplanet WASP-96 b.
Earlier this year, NASA and the Chandra X-ray Center released a recording of sounds made by a black hole. More specifically, the sonification uses sound waves previously found by astronomers and makes them audible. To do this, the sound was scaled up 57 and 58 octaves above their original pitch, making it roughly 144 quadrillion to 288 quadrillion times louder than their original frequency.
Other sonifications, like those of supernova Cassiopeia A and the ‘Whirpool Galaxy’ of Messier 51, can be found on the Chandra X-ray Observatory’s website. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/youve-seen-the-webb-telescopes-stunning-images-but-have-you-heard-them/ | 2022-09-01T01:28:49Z | https://www.wowktv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/youve-seen-the-webb-telescopes-stunning-images-but-have-you-heard-them/ | false |

Peltola beats Palin, wins Alaska House special election
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election for Alaska’s only U.S. House seat on Wednesday, besting a field that included Republican Sarah Palin, who was seeking a political comeback in the state where she was once governor.
Peltola, who is Yup’ik and turned 49 on Wednesday, will become the first Alaska Native to serve in the House and the first woman to hold the seat. She will serve the remaining months of the late Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young’s term. Young held the seat for 49 years before his death in March.
“I’m honored and humbled by the support I have received from across Alaska,” Peltola said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing Don Young’s legacy of bipartisanship, serving all Alaskans and building support for Alaska’s interests in DC.”
Peltola’s victory, coming in Alaska’s first statewide ranked choice voting election, is a boon for Democrats, particularly coming off better-than-expected performances in special elections around the country this year following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. She will be the first Democrat to hold the seat since the late U.S. Rep. Nick Begich, who was seeking reelection in 1972 when his plane disappeared. Begich was later declared dead and Young in 1973 was elected to the seat.
Peltola ran as a coalition builder while her two Republican opponents — Palin and Begich’s grandson, also named Nick Begich — at times went after each other. Palin also railed against the ranked voting system, which was instituted by Alaska voters.
All three are candidates in the November general election, seeking a two-year House term, which would start in January.
The results came 15 days after the Aug. 16 election, in line with the deadline for state elections officials to receive absentee ballots mailed from outside the U.S. Ranked choice tabulations took place Wednesday after no candidate won more than 50% of the first choice votes. Peltola was in the lead heading into the tabulations.
Wednesday’s results were a disappointment for Palin, who was looking to make a political comeback 14 years after she was vaulted onto the national stage when John McCain selected her to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. In her run for the House seat, she had widespread name recognition and won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
After Peltola’s victory was announced, Palin slammed the ranked voting process as “crazy, convoluted, confusing.”
“Though we’re disappointed in this outcome, Alaskans know I’m the last one who’ll ever retreat,” Palin said in a statement.
During the campaign, critics questioned Palin’s commitment to Alaska, citing her decision to resign as governor in July 2009, partway through her term. Palin went on to become a conservative commentator on TV and appeared in reality television programs, among other pursuits.
Palin has insisted her commitment to Alaska never wavered and said ahead of the special election that she had “signed up for the long haul.”
Peltola, a former state lawmaker who most recently worked for a commission whose goal is to rebuild salmon resources on the Kuskokwim River, cast herself as a “regular” Alaskan. “I’m not a millionaire. I’m not an international celebrity,” she said.
Peltola has said she was hopeful that the new system would allow more moderate candidates to be elected.
During the campaign, she emphasized her support of abortion rights and said she wanted to elevate issues of ocean productivity and food security. Peltola said she got a boost after the June special primary when she won endorsements from Democrats and independents who had been in the race. She said she believed her positive messaging also resonated with voters.
“It’s been very attractive to a lot of people to have a message of working together and positivity and holding each other up and unity and as Americans none of us are each other’s enemy,” she said. “That is just a message that people really need to hear right now.”
Alaska voters in 2020 approved an elections process that replaced party primaries with open primaries. Under the new system, ranked voting is used in general elections.
Under ranked voting, ballots are counted in rounds. A candidate can win outright with more than 50% of the vote in the first round. If no one hits that threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Voters who chose that candidate as their top pick have their votes count for their next choice. Rounds continue until two candidates remain, and whoever has the most votes wins.
In Alaska, voters last backed a Democrat for president in 1964. But the state also has a history of rewarding candidates with an independent streak. The state has more registered unaffiliated voters than registered Republicans or Democrats combined.

Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II poses in 2010 with several of the prime ministers who have served during her reign. With the Queen, from left, are David Cameron, John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Winston Churchill (1951-1955): The Queen was said to be in awe of her first prime minister, Winston Churchill. Once when asked which PM she enjoyed meeting with most, she replied: “Winston of course, because it’s always such fun.”
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Anthony Eden (1955-1957): Her Majesty found her second prime minister to be a sympathetic listener and their relationship was one of constitutional propriety. The largest political event to occur during Eden’s time was the Suez crisis. During this time, he believed it was of supreme importance to keep the Queen informed, so he shared all of the Suez papers with her — the first time she had ever been shown secret government documents.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Harold Macmillan (1957-1963): The Queen originally found Macmillan difficult to deal with, but they eventually warmed to each other. Her Majesty relied on Macmillan for his wise counsel — both while in office and after his retirement in 1963.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Alec Douglas-Home (1963-1964): The Queen was well acquainted with Douglas-Home, seen in the back, as he had been a childhood friend of the Queen Mother. So Her Majesty worked hard to re-establish her informal relationship with him. Over the year he was in office, Douglas-Home helped the monarch name several royal horses.

Harold Wilson (1964-1970, 1974-1976): Wilson, who came from a lower-middle-class background, became the Queen’s first Labour Party prime minister. Wilson, seen here at right next to Prince Philip, often broke away from meeting traditions, and he enjoyed helping with the washing-up after barbecues at Balmoral — one of the Queen’s residences. The Queen, however, warmed to Wilson’s informal presence and even invited him to stay for drinks after their first meeting, which was not commonplace.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Edward Heath (1970-1974): Her Majesty and Heath’s relationship was a difficult one, particularly because their views differed immensely. While the Queen saw her role as Head of the Commonwealth to be of extreme importance, Heath favored European integration.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
James Callaghan (1976-1979): Callaghan got on famously with the Queen, but noted she offered him “friendliness, but not friendship.” In an interview with the BBC’s David Frost, Callaghan spoke about the moment he asked for her Majesty’s opinion as he couldn’t make up his mind. He said the Queen looked at him “with a twinkle in her eye” and said “that’s what you’re paid for.”
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990): While Thatcher and the Queen were the closest in age, Thatcher kept their encounters strictly professional, formal and famously stiff. The “Iron Lady,” as she became known, reportedly had a tense relationship with the monarch during their traditional weekly meetings. Thatcher also viewed her annual visits to the royal home in Balmoral as interrupting her work. But despite this, Thatcher is said to have been incredibly respectful of the Queen and eventually became her longest serving prime minister.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
John Major (1990-1997): John Major and the Queen provided mutual support for one another during his leadership. They shared many crises together — him the Gulf War and economic downturns, her a fire at Windsor Castle and the marital problems of her son Charles, the Prince of Wales, and his wife, Diana.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Tony Blair (1997-2007): Blair regarded the UK’s relationship with the monarchy an antiquated institution, and was determined to modernize it. In his book “A Journey,” he mocked the annual tradition of visiting the Queen at the royal home in Balmoral, recalling “the vivid combination of the intriguing, the surreal, and the utterly freaky. The whole culture of it was totally alien, of course, not that the royals weren’t very welcoming.” Meanwhile, the Queen reportedly regarded Blair’s relationship with U.S. President George W. Bush as too friendly.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
Gordon Brown (2007-2010): While it’s believed the Queen and Brown shared a close relationship, it wasn’t enough to secure him an invite to Prince William’s wedding. Her Majesty, however, occasionally lightheartedly imitated his Scottish accent.
Photos: Queen Elizabeth II’s 14 prime ministers
David Cameron (2010-2016): The relationship between David Cameron and the Queen appears to have been a warm one. He’s not only the youngest of the Queen’s prime ministers, but they’re also related. He is the direct descendent of King William IV, making him the Queen’s fifth cousin, twice removed.

Five things on Brazil's voting machines
Issued on: Modified:
Rio de Janeiro (AFP) – Brazil has used electronic voting machines in its elections since 1996. But it is only recently they became controversial, with allegations by far-right President Jair Bolsonaro that they are plagued by fraud.
Here are five things to know about the squat beige computers fueling a raging debate on democracy in Latin America's biggest country.
How did they start?
Ironically, given Bolsonaro's bashing, the electronic voting machines were introduced partly to combat fraud.
Brazilians used to vote on paper ballots where they would check a box or write in a name, depending on the type of election.
In a country where 14 percent of the adult population was illiterate, the system was chaotic, slow and fraud-prone.
"There were always problems with the count. Illegible writing, names written in the wrong place, X's outside the box -- all that meant a ballot was declared null," says Henrique Neves da Silva, a former judge on Brazil's Superior Electoral Tribunal.
"There was also a lot of fraud and ballot-box stuffing."
With help from the military, computer experts developed the country's first electronic voting machine, rolled out in 57 cities for the 1996 local elections.
How widespread are they?
Celebrated as a success, the voting machines were expanded to 67 percent of the electorate for Brazil's 1998 elections, and 100 percent for the 2000 elections.
Brazil is one of 23 countries using electronic voting for general elections, according to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance.
Another 18 use them for regional elections.
How do they work?
The machines are equipped with a number pad.
When voters type the two-digit code for their chosen candidate, his or her picture appears.
They then press a green button to confirm.
"It's a very simple machine, with one function: to tally votes," says Da Silva.
A key detail: the machines are not connected to the internet.
When voting closes, poll workers remove the memory card from each machine and send them to the local office of the electoral authority, which in turn sends the information to the central counting system in Brasilia via an independent network.
In remote regions such as the Amazon rainforest, a satellite connection is sometimes used.
Results are usually finalized in around two hours -- not bad for a sprawling country with 156 million voters.
How secure are they?
The vote-counting software is updated for every election.
Political parties, the judiciary and the military are allowed to inspect the source code.
Security tests are also held in which IT experts attempt to hack into the system.
"They literally take the machines apart, touch whatever they want. There is way more leeway than what (a theoretical hacker) would actually have on election day," says Da Silva.
No major security flaw has ever been detected.
What does Bolsonaro say?
Bolsonaro insists the system is plagued by fraud, but has provided scant evidence.
He claims he should have won the 2018 presidential election in the first round, instead of the runoff, but has offered no proof.
He is pushing for a paper print-out to be made of every vote, so the count can be checked.
But election authorities say that would only introduce an avenue for fraud.
Prosecutors are investigating the president on charges of spreading disinformation about the voting system, including during a meeting with foreign ambassadors in July that was spattered with falsehoods.
The US embassy said after that meeting that Brazil's elections are "a model for the world."
Bolsonaro has repeatedly threatened not to recognize the election result if the system is not changed.

World monkeypox outbreak tops 50,000 cases
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the declines in new infections proved the outbreak could be halted.
More than 50,000 monkeypox cases have been recorded in the global outbreak, WHO figures showed on Wednesday, though transmission is slowing in the virus hotspots of Europe and the United States.
The World Health Organization's dashboard listed 50,496 cases and 16 deaths as reported this year to the U.N. agency, which declared the outbreak a global public health emergency in July.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the declines in new infections proved the outbreak could be halted.
"In the Americas, which accounts for more than half of reported cases, several countries continue to see increasing numbers of infections, although it is encouraging to see a sustained downward trend in Canada," he told a press conference.
"Some European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, are also seeing a clear slowing of the outbreak, demonstrating the effectiveness of public health interventions and community engagement to track infections and prevent transmission.
"These signs confirm what we have said consistently since the beginning: that with the right measures, this is an outbreak that can be stopped."
A surge in monkeypox infections has been reported since early May among men who have sex with men, outside the African countries where it has long been endemic.
The WHO triggered its highest level of alarm on July 24, classifying it as a public health emergency of international concern, alongside Covid-19.
"Eliminating monkeypox needs three things: the evidence that it's possible, which we are now beginning to see; political will and commitment; and the implementation of public health measures in the communities that need them most," said Tedros.
"We don't have to live with monkeypox."
Cases have been reported from 101 territories, though only 52 have reported new cases in the last seven days — of which 27 were reporting numbers in single figures.
The countries which have reported more than a thousand cases to the WHO in total are the United States (17,994), Spain (6,543), Brazil (4,693), France (3,547), Germany (3,467), Britain (3,413), Peru (1,463), Canada (1,228) and the Netherlands (1,160).
The number of new U.S. infections appears to have recently slowed slightly, according to data from health authorities.
Meanwhile the WHO's Europe chief said Tuesday he saw "encouraging" signs that the outbreak was slowing on the continent and heading "in the right direction".
The disease causes fever, muscular aches and large boil-like skin lesions.
Nigeria has reported four deaths to the WHO, Ghana three, Spain and the Central African Republic two each, while Brazil, Belgium, Ecuador, India and Cuba have each reported one fatality.
Rosamund Lewis, the WHO's technical lead on monkeypox, said physical contact of any kind with someone who has the virus would put them at risk of catching it too.
"The vast majority today are still among men who have sex with men, whether they be gay, bisexual or otherwise have contact with other men who have monkeypox," she told Wednesday's press conference.
Lewis stressed that there had not been any reports of far of monkeypox transmission through blood transfusions.
"There have definitely been reports of the detection of the monkeypox virus DNA in semen. One study did illustrate that the virus could be isolated from that specimen," she said, cautioning that other studies were still ongoing.

Democrat Mary Peltola will represent Alaska's lone U.S. House seat, after winning a special election that was determined by a ranked-choice voting tabulation on Wednesday. She will become the the first Alaska Native in Congress.
In the final round of the count, Peltola, a former state lawmaker, edged Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, by 3 percentage points, 51.5% to 48.5%.
This is how the candidates finished after initial voting:
Peltola's victory denies the controversial Palin, an ally of former President Donald Trump, an immediate return back onto the national political scene.
The special election in Alaska was held earlier this month but it took until Wednesday to tabulate all the mail-in votes and calculate the winner with the state's new ranked-choice voting system.
Republican Nick Begich III came in third in the election, so voters who had put him as their first choice (or who had written in another candidate) had their ballots reallocated to the candidate who was their second choice.
The special election was to replace Rep. Don Young, who died earlier this year at the age of 88. Peltola will complete the term and then she, Palin and Begich will face off again in November for the next two-year term.
Peltola and Palin served together as state legislators.
Though Palin had sharp words for her fellow Republican Begich, she refrained from attacking Peltola during the campaign, calling her a sweetheart. Peltola also did not badmouth Palin, telling NPR, "The region where I'm from, there is a big premium on being respectful, on not using inflammatory language or harsh tones."

By BECKY BOHRER
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election for Alaska’s only U.S. House seat on Wednesday, besting a field that included Republican Sarah Palin, who was seeking a political comeback in the state where she was once governor.
Peltola, who is Yup’ik and turned 49 on Wednesday, will become the first Alaska Native to serve in the House and the first woman to hold the seat. She will serve the remaining months of the late Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young’s term. Young held the seat for 49 years before his death in March.
“I’m honored and humbled by the support I have received from across Alaska,” Peltola said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing Don Young’s legacy of bipartisanship, serving all Alaskans and building support for Alaska’s interests in DC.”
Peltola’s victory, coming in Alaska’s first statewide ranked choice voting election, is a boon for Democrats, particularly coming off better-than-expected performances in special elections around the country this year following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. She will be the first Democrat to hold the seat since the late U.S. Rep. Nick Begich, who was seeking reelection in 1972 when his plane disappeared. Begich was later declared dead and Young in 1973 was elected to the seat.
Peltola ran as a coalition builder while her two Republican opponents — Palin and Begich’s grandson, also named Nick Begich — at times went after each other. Palin also railed against the ranked voting system, which was instituted by Alaska voters.
All three – Peltola, Palin and Begich – are candidates in the November general election, seeking a two-year House term that would start in January.
The results came 15 days after the Aug. 16 election, in line with the deadline for state elections officials to receive absentee ballots mailed from outside the U.S. Ranked choice tabulations took place Wednesday after no candidate won more than 50% of the first choice votes, with state elections officials livestreaming the event. Peltola was in the lead heading into the tabulations.
State elections officials plan to certify the election by Friday.
Alaska Democratic Party leaders cheered Peltola’s win.
“Alaskans have made clear they want a rational, steadfast, honest and caring voice speaking for them in Washington D.C., not opportunists and extremists associated with the Alaska Republican Party,” state Democratic party chair Michael Wenstrup said in a statement.
Wednesday’s results were a disappointment for Palin, who was looking to make a political comeback 14 years after she was vaulted onto the national stage when John McCain selected her to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. In her run for the House seat, she had widespread name recognition and won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
After Peltola’s victory was announced, Palin called the ranked voting system “crazy, convoluted, confusing.”
“Though we’re disappointed in this outcome, Alaskans know I’m the last one who’ll ever retreat,” Palin said in a statement.
Begich in a statement congratulated Peltola while looking forward to the November election.
During the campaign, critics questioned Palin’s commitment to Alaska, citing her decision to resign as governor in July 2009, partway through her term. Palin went on to become a conservative commentator on TV and appeared in reality television programs, among other pursuits.
Palin has insisted her commitment to Alaska never wavered and said ahead of the special election that she had “signed up for the long haul.”
Peltola, a former state lawmaker who most recently worked for a commission whose goal is to rebuild salmon resources on the Kuskokwim River, cast herself as a “regular” Alaskan. “I’m not a millionaire. I’m not an international celebrity,” she said.
Peltola has said she was hopeful that the new system would allow more moderate candidates to be elected.
During the campaign, she emphasized her support of abortion rights and said she wanted to elevate issues of ocean productivity and food security. Peltola said she got a boost after the June special primary when she won endorsements from Democrats and independents who had been in the race. She said she believed her positive messaging also resonated with voters.
“It’s been very attractive to a lot of people to have a message of working together and positivity and holding each other up and unity and as Americans none of us are each other’s enemy,” she said. “That is just a message that people really need to hear right now.”
Alaska voters in 2020 approved an elections process that replaced party primaries with open primaries. Under the new system, ranked voting is used in general elections.
Under ranked voting, ballots are counted in rounds. A candidate can win outright with more than 50% of the vote in the first round. If no one hits that threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Voters who chose that candidate as their top pick have their votes count for their next choice. Rounds continue until two candidates remain, and whoever has the most votes wins.
In Alaska, voters last backed a Democrat for president in 1964. But the state also has a history of rewarding candidates with an independent streak. The number of registered voters not affiliated with a party is greater than the number of registered Republicans or Democrats combined, according to statistics from the Division of Elections.
The last Democratic member of Alaska’s congressional delegation was Mark Begich, Nick Begich’s uncle, who served one term and lost his 2014 reelection bid.
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican, said Peltola “has a long track record of public service to our great state” and said she looks forward to Peltola joining the congressional delegation, which also includes Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan. Murkowski and Peltola were in the state Legislature together.

The joint-venture plant near Warren, Ohio, is focused on training as it prepares to ramp up manufacturing. A spokeswoman for the venture said it is producing cells but they are not yet being shipped. They'll go into vehicles with GM's Ultium batteries, which currently include Hummer EVs, Chevrolet Silverado EV pickups and the Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV.
Eventually, though, the plant should help GM's EVs meet requirements to qualify for a $7,500-per-vehicle federal tax credit.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act recently signed into law, electric vehicles and their batteries must be manufactured in North America to get the credit. Battery minerals must be mined or recycled on the continent as well, or half the tax credit would be lost. And the batteries can't have any components from China, another difficult hurdle.
The requirements are designed to build a North American supply chain for EVs so the country isn't reliant on China and other overseas countries.
GM says it's working to meet the requirements. The Ohio plant built with battery maker LG Energy Solution is a step toward getting the credits, which are key to boosting electric vehicle sales. No automaker wants to put EVs on the market that cost $7,500 more than the competition.
The $2.3 billion, 2.8-million-square-foot battery plant now employs 800 people, and eventually it will have 1,300. The factory is near Lordstown, Ohio, where GM closed a huge small-car assembly plant.
GM has a goal of making only electric passenger vehicles by 2035, and CEO Mary Barra has pledged to unseat Tesla as the top seller of EVs by the middle of this decade. | https://www.wsls.com/business/2022/08/31/gm-venture-starts-building-battery-cells-at-new-ohio-factory/ | 2022-09-01T01:56:10Z | https://www.wsls.com/business/2022/08/31/gm-venture-starts-building-battery-cells-at-new-ohio-factory/ | true |

Abeokuta—Two men, Emmanuel Thompson and Joshua Godwin, have been arrested by men of the Ogun State Police Command for conspiring to gang-rape an 18-year-old girl (name withheld).
The suspects, according to a statement in Abeokuta, by the command’s spokesman, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, were arrested following a complaint lodged at Ogijo Divisional headquarters by the victim.
According to Oyeyemi, the victim reported that she boarded a commercial motorcycle at about 8 am on Tuesday, from the MRI Company area to Ogijo bus stop, but on their way, the rider who carried another male passenger with her suddenly diverted to another route, while the other male passenger threatened to kill her if she didn’t cooperate with them.
Oyeyemi said: “She complained further that they forcefully took her to a room in a house in the area, where two other men were waiting for them.
“On getting there, the two men they met in the room and the accompanied male passenger took turns to have sex with her forcefully.
“Upon the report, the DPO Ogijo Division, CSP Onatufe Umoh, detailed his detectives to the scene where two among the suspects were apprehended while the other accomplices escaped.
“The two arrested suspects have confessed to the commission of the crime.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/09/2-nabbed-for-alleged-gang-rapping-18-yr-old-girl-in-ogun/ | 2022-09-01T02:01:00Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/09/2-nabbed-for-alleged-gang-rapping-18-yr-old-girl-in-ogun/ | true |

Rays LHP Shane McClanahan to IL with shoulder injury
By ALANIS THAMES

MIAMI (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays have placed ace left-hander Shane McClanahan on the 15-day injured list because of a left shoulder impingement. McClanahan was a late scratch from Tampa Bay’s 7-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Manager Kevin Cash says imaging of the injury indicates a “best-case scenario” and he doesn’t expect McClanahan to miss extended time. The Rays also placed second baseman Brandon Lowe on the 10-day IL with a right triceps contusion. Lowe hasn’t played since being hit by a pitch against the Red Sox on Aug 26. | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/31/rays-lhp-shane-mcclanahan-to-il-with-shoulder-injury/ | 2022-09-01T02:06:41Z | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/31/rays-lhp-shane-mcclanahan-to-il-with-shoulder-injury/ | false |
Local food shelves see increased need for services
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Local food shelves say they are in dire need of donations as the cost of living remains high. Rochester organizations are asking community members to help out where they can.
This summer, the Rochester Salvation Army has seen a great need for its food shelf services.
“Just last Friday, we saw 65 households come to this food shelf, and that’s like three times the number of households we normally see on a Friday anytime during the day,” Salvation Army director of community engagement Rebecca Snapp said.
Staff members say it may be because of the high price for food, gas and other everyday expenses.
“People have been talking about high food prices at the grocery store, high gas prices. Having a food shelf accessible to you, that’s a really great way for families to really help to mitigate some of those costs and get through this really high inflation time,” Snapp said.
Another organization looking for community support is the Ronald McDonald House that houses families with children receiving care at Mayo Clinic. They’ve housed 68 families in the month of August.
“House dinners are back so we’re looking for groups in the community to come help with house dinners,” Ronald McDonald House family activity coordinator Carmen Thumann said.
The house offers dinners and kitchen spaces for families to connect and enjoy a sit-down meal together.
“They’re exhausted. They’re stressed out. The best thing that we can do for them is to provide them a home cooked meal at the end of the day that they don’t have to think about,” Thumann said.
The Ronald McDonald House is also looking for donations of games and puzzles.
“If it’s games for a family to sit together and play a game at night. If it’s a patient in the hospital and they need a day brighter, we send items over to them as well,” Thumann said.
Non-profit workers say they need community support to help put food on families’ tables.
“It is because of the community that we can continue to do this,” Thumann said.
“If you go to the grocery store and you buy non-perishable things for your family, think about getting one extra of those things and giving it to the food shelf, because there’s a family just like yours who needs those extra same things to keep them from being hungry during the week,” Snapp said.
Both of the organizations accept food donations. You can drop off food at the Salvation Army Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and you can drop off donations at at the Ronald McDonald House seven days a week.

Three teenagers were sent to the hospital Wednesday afternoon after the SUV they were riding in crashed into a creek in Carrollton Wednesday afternoon, police say.
It happened shortly before 2 p.m. in the 1700 block of Pakrer Road, west of Josey Lane. The SUV went airborne and landed upside down in a creek after the driver lost control, police said.
All of the five people inside the SUV were 17-year-olds who attended Hebron High School in the Lewisville Independent School District, police said.
Three teens in the back seat were all hospitalized, police said, with one of them being in critical condition. The driver and front passenger were not hurt.
Police are investigating what caused the crash. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/suv-with-5-teens-crashes-in-carrollton-3-hospitalized/3061793/ | 2022-09-01T02:19:48Z | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/suv-with-5-teens-crashes-in-carrollton-3-hospitalized/3061793/ | true |
Mayor Jim Kenney hosted a virtual news conference Wednesday providing an update on the city’s antiviolence efforts in preparation for the holiday weekend
During the news conference, Kenney addressed the increasing amount of gun violence taking place within the city.
“It has been a difficult summer again this year as our city, like so many cities across the country, has been dealing with the epidemic of gun violence,” said Kenney. "Our hearts break for the families of everyone affected by gun violence. It is especially painful to me to see children impacted both physically and mentally by this senseless violence."
The news conference also featured an analysis of the city’s community listening tour that began earlier this year.
“The community listening tour is an opportunity for neighbors to network with each other, city officials, and service providers who are at the heart of violence prevention in the city of Philadelphia," said Erica Atwood, senior director for the Office of Policy and Strategic Initiatives for Criminal Justice and Public Safety. “I personally attend the majority of these meetings and consider community engagement to be essential to our mission.”
The conference included members of Philadelphia’s police department, who provided updates regarding the city’s homicide and gun violence trends, along with updates on recently completed and ongoing investigations.
According to numbers gathered from the Philadelphia police department website, as of Aug. 30th, the number of homicides within the city stands at 362, a 2% increase from last year.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw attended the news conference, providing updates on the department’s plans to ensure the safety of students returning to school this week.
“We continue to work with the school district, our local businesses, and community volunteers to ensure that our students have safe passage to and from school,” Outlaw said. “We will also be maintaining a strong line of communication with our school district partners to ensure that we are working together to address issues that may arise with youth early before they spiral out of our control.
“This is a collaborative effort and it requires everyone’s involvement from students to parents to the community,” said Outlaw.
Outlaw also highlighted the efforts the department is making to ensure that those attending the Made in America Festival this weekend are safe.
“The safety of everyone is our top priority and is paramount,” said Outlaw. “From all of us here at the PPD we wish everyone a safe, happy and healthy Labor Day weekend. Our officers will be on hand throughout the city as we celebrate the end of summer and we will see you all out there." | https://www.phillytrib.com/news/local_news/mayor-kenney-hosts-antiviolence-briefing-ahead-of-holiday-weekend/article_3040e802-243b-5951-96b2-078f2575ed3b.html | 2022-09-01T02:22:57Z | https://www.phillytrib.com/news/local_news/mayor-kenney-hosts-antiviolence-briefing-ahead-of-holiday-weekend/article_3040e802-243b-5951-96b2-078f2575ed3b.html | true |

Trump's lawyers downplay discovery of classified records at his Florida home
By Sarah N. Lynch
WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump's lawyers on Wednesday sought to downplay the federal government's discovery of highly classified records inside his Florida estate, telling a judge that presidential records by their very nature are sensitive.
The filing comes just one day before Trump's legal team will square off against the U.S. Justice Department in a federal court in West Palm Beach, in a bid by Trump to convince U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to appoint a special master to review the materials seized by the FBI from his home on Aug. 8.
"Simply put, the notion that Presidential records would contain sensitive information should have never been cause for alarm," his attorneys said.
They also attacked the Justice Department for executing the unprecedented search, saying that Trump was engaging in a "standard give-and-take" with the U.S. National Archives over the return of presidential records and that he allowed FBI agents to "come to his home and provide security advice."
The filing by Trump's team came less than 24 hours after the Justice Department released a scathing 54-page document with exhibits outlining publicly for the first time evidence it obtained that Trump may have tried to obstruct its investigation by deliberately trying to conceal documents.
In it, prosecutors said Trump's representatives falsely certified that they had conducted a thorough search, and that all records responsive to a grand jury subpoena had been returned when FBI agents and a top Justice Department official paid a visit to Mar-a-Lago in June to retrieve the materials.
At that visit, Trump's attorney also prohibited government investigators from opening or looking inside some of the boxes that Trump kept inside one of his storage rooms, they said.
The department ultimately decided to seek court approval for a search warrant, after the FBI developed evidence of possible obstruction.
"The government developed evidence that a search limited to the storage room would not have uncovered all the classified documents at the premises," prosecutors said.
"The government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the storage room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government´s investigation."
The FBI later recovered more than 33 boxes and other items, including more than 100 pages marked as classified.
It also found some classified documents in Trump's desk drawers, co-mingled with his passports. Their location, it said, was "relevant evidence" for its investigation.
The Justice Department on Tuesday said it opposes Trump's request for a special master - an independent third party sometimes appointed by a court in sensitive cases to review materials potentially covered by attorney-client privilege to ensure investigators do not improperly view them.
Trump's legal team has argued that the former president wants to protect materials that could be subject to a legal doctrine known as executive privilege, which can shield some presidential communications.
The Justice Department, as well as many outside legal experts, have argued that the claim is illogical, and that a former president cannot assert the privilege against the executive branch itself in the way Trump is attempting.
Trump "has no property interest in any presidential records(including classified records) seized from the premises," prosecutors told the court on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, however, Trump's lawyers insisted again in their court filing that Trump "continues to have rights related to the assertion of executive privilege."
Wednesday's court filing notably did not try to suggest that Trump had declassified any of the material recovered from his home, despite previous claims by Trump on social media that he had done so.
The filing took a swipe at the Justice Department for "gratuitously" including a photograph in its Tuesday filing of "allegedly classified materials" that had been "pulled from a container and spread across the floor for dramatic effect."
"Left unchecked, the DOJ will impugn, leak, and publicize selective aspects of their investigation," Trump's lawyers wrote, saying a special master is necessary. (Reporting by Sarah N.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man who died in a plane crash Sunday in Minnesota was scattering his father’s ashes, according to law enforcement.
Lee Cemensky, 58, was a Las Vegas resident until he sold his business, Brakes Plus, in February to return to Fifty Lakes, Minnesota.
Cemensky was a passenger in an aircraft flown by Douglas A. Johnson, who operated an amphibious aircraft known as “the swan” that catered to tourists and sightseeing in the community of Emily, Minnesota.
Authorities were called to a rural part outside Emily, roughly 150 miles north of Minneapolis Sunday evening when the plane didn’t arrive at its destination. Roughly two hours later, emergency crews found the plane in a wooded area.
Both Cemensky and Johnson, 61, were found dead.
Lt. Craig Katzenberger of the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office said deputies who responded to the scene on Sunday night learned that Cemensky had been scattering his father’s ashes.
The aircraft Cemensky and Johnson had been in was described as “homemade.” Katzenberger said the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
He added that the sheriff’s office investigation is still active.
Cemensky’s father, Leo John Cemensky, died at his home in Fifty Lakes on Aug. 7, according to an online obituary from Koop Funeral Home. He is survived by his wife Vikki; a son and daughter, four grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
Attempts to reach the family for comment have been unsuccessful.
Joseph Hunter, manager of Brakes Plus, said he bought the business from Lee Cemensky on Feb. 28. He said he met him as the business was changing hands, and said he was a “good guy … good to all his customers.”
Cemensky owned the shop for 20 to 25 years, Hunter said. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/national-news/man-killed-in-plane-crash-was-scattering-his-fathers-ashes-minnesota-officials-say/ | 2022-09-01T02:28:40Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/national-news/man-killed-in-plane-crash-was-scattering-his-fathers-ashes-minnesota-officials-say/ | true |
Point taken: Pilot’s unique flight path appears to create a middle finger
Published: Aug. 31, 2022 at 5:57 PM MST|Updated: 2 hours ago
SEATTLE (KPTV/Gray News) - A flight-tracking company revealed what appears to be an interesting flight path taken earlier this week in Washington state.
FlightAware, a technology company that provides real-time flight tracking data, shared that a Piper Navajo aircraft flew for seven hours on Monday. The pilot’s flight path seemingly left a middle finger design from its tracked journey.
KPTV reports the Bellingham Herald was one of the first publications to pick up on the flight chart.
No immediate reason was given or shared for such a route that was taken, but the finger was reportedly pointing toward Whatcom County.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese manufacturing contracted in August amid weak export and consumer demand, a survey showed Wednesday, adding to downward pressure on the struggling economy.
A monthly index improved to 49.4 from July’s 49 on a 100-point scale but still was below the 50-point mark that shows activity contracting, according to the national statistics agency and an industry group.
The ruling Communist Party is trying to shore up economic growth that sank to 2.5% in the first six months of 2022, less than half the official annual growth target of 5.5%.
The data “show a further loss in economic momentum,” said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics in a report. “The economy will struggle to make much headway during the coming months.
Chinese consumer demand has been dampened by a plunge in real estate activity after Beijing tightened controls on the industry’s use of debt and by repeated shutdowns of factories, shops and neighborhoods to fight coronavirus outbreaks.
Indicators of export orders, overall orders and employment also improved from July but still were in contraction territory. | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-chinese-manufacturing-weak-adding-to-economic-pressure/ | 2022-09-01T02:30:48Z | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-chinese-manufacturing-weak-adding-to-economic-pressure/ | true |

Still, one clip recently shared by a PBS station shows that family folklore can sometimes be debunked by historians.
In the segment, which originally aired on PBS on April 12, 2018, a man explained how his Navy father plucked a damaged American flag out of the water shortly after Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941 by the Japanese military.
The man said, according to his father's recount, he took the damaged flag out of the water, shook it off, let it dry off, and the family has had the damaged piece of American history in their possession every since that day.
Appraiser Jeff Shrader, who is an expert in Arms and Militaria, said that he was able to verify that the man's father was at Pearl Harbor. His father passed down documentation as a decorated Navy veteran who was awarded "the Navy Unit Commendation for service during the following period: 7 December 1941," according to one verified document that Shrader reviewed and displayed in the televised segment.
But there was one shocking detail discovered during the antique event in Sarasota, Florida, which brought the value of the flag down considerably to just a few hundred dollars.
The flag's manufacture date was stamped with "44," meaning it was made in 1944, around 3 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Shrader said the revelation wasn't meant to "cast dispersion" on his father.
It was comedian and actor Andy Richter, best known as the sidekick on the Conan O'Brien show, who highlighted the comedic moment in the clip, which was shared by Boston PBS station WGBH.
Richter mentioned, jokingly, that he is an "aficionado of family lies and liars," saying he enjoyed the segment.
WGBH reposted his Twitter comment responding with, "When family lore runs face first into a @roadshowpbs appraiser!"
The flag, while still an important piece of World War I and World War II history, had its value drop from hundreds of thousands of dollars, to somewhere between $300 and $500 according to Shrader.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians allayed worries that the 11-day excused absence of quarterback Tom Brady in training camp could affect the team’s performance in the upcoming season. During an interview on ESPN’s “First Take”, Arians, who’s now the Buccaneers’ Senior Football Consultant, said Brady is throwing “throwing the ball better than he has in like 10 years.” Arians added that Brady’s presence on the practice field brought up the team’s energy level in the entire building. “Not worried about Tom. That's one guy you don't have to worry about,” Arians stressed.
Last season, Brady led the league in passing yards, passing touchdowns and completions.
In a separate report by Sporting News, Arians said Brady, as a 45-year-old quarterback, needed the time to sit back from the grinds of football. "Tom needed the time,” Arians said, adding that a 45-year-old guy like Brady has way more things in life going than a 25-year-old does. Arians added that Brady’s hiatus was also beneficial for the Buccaneers since the team had the chance to work with their backup quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert and second-year signal-caller Kyle Trask. "It was great for us because we got to work with our backup quarterbacks, especially Kyle Trask for all that time getting valuable reps," Arians stressed.
Arians assured that Brady is laser-focused as he heads into his 23rd NFL season. “They all know he’s laser-focused and ready to roll,” Arians said, adding that Brady is all in to help the team win its second Super Bowl title in three years and his 8th Super Bowl ring.
Bucs finalize 53-man roster
The Buccaneers have finalized their 53-man regular season roster ahead of the league-mandated deadline by making 27 roster moves.
According to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com, the team’s roster is heavier on offense than defense. The Buccaneers retained 28 players on offense, 3 for specialists and 22 on defense. The Buccaneers’ offense includes Brady, Gabbert and Trask at quarterback, Giovani Bernard, Leonard Fournette, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, and Rachaad White at running back, and Jaelon Darden, Mike Evans, Russell Gage, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones, Scotty Miller, Breshad Perriman at wide receiver.
The Buccaneers kept Cameron Brate, Ko Kieft, Cade Otton, and Kyle Rudolph at tight ends while their offensive line consists of rookie Luke Goedeke, Robert Hainsey, Ryan Jensen, Fred Johnson, Nick Leverett, Shaq Mason, Donovan Smith, Brandon Walton, Josh Wells, and Tristan Wirfs.
Bucs sign 14 players to practice squad
The Buccaneers also signed 14 players to their practice squad, including outside linebacker Genard Avery, tackle Dylan Cook, cornerback Don Gardner, wide receiver Kaylon Geiger, defensive lineman Mike Greene, quarterback Ryan Griffin, tight end JJ Howland, running back Patrick Laird, center John Molchon, defensive lineman Willington Previlon, inside linebacker J.J. Russell, defensive lineman Deadrin Senat, wide receiver Devin Thompkins and safety Nolan Turner, per Buccaneers.com. | https://us.blastingnews.com/sports/2022/08/bruce-arians-tom-brady-s-throwing-the-ball-better-than-he-has-in-like-10-years-003553926.html | 2022-09-01T02:35:53Z | https://us.blastingnews.com/sports/2022/08/bruce-arians-tom-brady-s-throwing-the-ball-better-than-he-has-in-like-10-years-003553926.html | true |
ROME (AP) — The New York Yankees have purchased a minority stake in Italian soccer champion AC Milan, which announced the closing of its latest ownership change Wednesday.
RedBird Capital Partners completed the deal to purchase a controlling interest in the seven-time European champion for 1.2 billion euros ($1.2 billion).
It’s the second soccer team the Yankees partially own after MLS’s New York City.
Gerry Cardinale, who founded RedBird in 2014 and is the managing partner, announced a preliminary agreement in June to buy Milan from fellow American firm Elliott Management.
Yankees Global Enterprises, the baseball team’s parent company led by the Steinbrenner family, will take a stake of about 10%, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity before the final deal had been announced.
Details of the Yankees’ involvement were not divulged in the announcement.
The Yankees agreed in 2013 to purchase a 20% stake in the New York City Major League Soccer team that launched in 2015. City Football Group, Manchester City’s parent company, is the controlling owner.
“We have a multi-decade relationship with the New York Yankees and the Steinbrenner family that has resulted in the creation of some of the most successful businesses in sports, entertainment and hospitality,” Cardinale said in a statement on Milan’s website.
“We are very pleased to continue our partnership with them and will look to explore opportunities together to broaden our fan reach and expand commercial opportunities that are only available to franchises that operate at the highest levels of sports globally.”
The closing comes just in time for Cardinale to make his debut as Milan’s new president at Saturday’s derby against city rival Inter Milan.
“Our vision for Milan is clear: we will support our talented players, coaches and staff to deliver success on the pitch and allow our fans to share in the extraordinary experiences of this historic club,” Cardinale said.
“We will look to leverage our global sports and media network, our analytics expertise, our track record in sports stadium developments and hospitality to deliver one goal — maintaining Milan’s place at the summit of European and world football.”
The Yankees, 27-time World Series champions, are signing a separate marketing agreement with Milan, a 19-time Italian champion, that will include broadcasting replays of games on the YES Network, as Manchester City does. There also will be cross-merchandising between the pinstripes and the Rossoneri.
Milan is coming off its first Italian title in 11 years.
The Financial Times reported Tuesday that Main Street Advisors, the Los Angeles-based fund supported by LeBron James, is also investing in Milan.
RedBird also has a stake in Fenway Sports Group, the parent company of Liverpool and the Boston Red Sox. Champions League rules prohibit two clubs in the competition from being under the same ownership to protect the integrity of games on the field. UEFA likely will have to make a judgment on the extent of RedBird’s influence on decision-making at Liverpool.
RedBird is Milan’s fourth owner in five years.
Milan was owned from 1986 to 2017 by a former Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who sold to a company controlled by Sino-Europe Sports Investment Management Changxing Co. The American hedge fund Elliott provided financing and took control of the team in 2018 when loan payments were not made.

Of course
I wonder about
the mystery
that is surely up there
in starry space
and how some part of me
will go there at last
But I am talking now
of the way the body speaks
and the wind, that keeps saying,
firmly, lovingly,
a little while and then this body
will be stone; then
it will be water; then
it will be air.

The couple were later married on October 27, 1962, in England. They were blessed with two daughters: Sharon and Theresa. Upon returning to America and settling in Wausau, Russ began working as a letter carrier for the USPS in which he would retire after 31 years of service.

He would be up at dawn with his wheel cap, uniform on, shoes shined and lunch box in hand to deliver mail to the many people he truly enjoyed seeing each day until his retirement.

Russ and Anita especially enjoyed traveling the world together, often visiting Theresa wherever her family was stationed at the time. He enjoyed trains, planes, watching birds, the night sky, gardening and especially going out for breakfast in the morning. His favorite hobby was woodworking in which he would build anything from furniture to birdhouses. He was definitely a “Mr. Fix It.” If it was broken, he could fix it.

The mayor has appointed retired Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court judge Victor Valdez to serve as the city’s next Superintendent of Police Reform with the Albuquerque Police Department.
Valdez, born in Santa Fe, received his law degree from the University of New Mexico in 1989 and practiced law for 15 years, specializing in civil rights. He served as president and member of the New Mexico Hispanic Bar Association and was appointed to the criminal division of Metro Court in 2004.
“This is an important opportunity to establish a sustainable office of accountability for the department to continue moving toward reform goals,” Valdez said in a news release. “I look forward to continuing the work of improving public safety and implementing processes internally to support the department.”
The city is in the midst of a years-long federally mandated police reform effort. Recently, an independent monitor overseeing the effort found improvements and officials have started to say they can see an end in sight. The city has suspended monitoring of about a quarter of the requirements.
The superintendent is tasked with overseeing the reforms and all internal affairs matters and will have the final say on police disciplinary matters.
Valdez’s appointment comes nearly four months after the city offered the position to an out-of-state applicant and then rescinded the appointment, citing differing opinions on how to approach the role.
A city spokeswoman said Valdez’s appointment is a done deal but he has not yet started the job. She said he does not need to be confirmed by the City Council because he is under contract.
The first Superintendent of Police Reform, Sylvester Stanley, was appointed on an interim basis in March 2021. He retired at the end of the year. | https://www.abqjournal.com/2528830/city-appoints-new-superintendent-of-police-reform.html | 2022-09-01T02:43:34Z | https://www.abqjournal.com/2528830/city-appoints-new-superintendent-of-police-reform.html | true |
ATLANTA (AP) — Kyle Wright pitched seven scoreless innings to earn his major league-leading 17th victory, Austin Riley and Ronald Acuña Jr. homered, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 on Wednesday night.
The defending World Series champion Braves avoided their first four-game losing streak since Sept. 14-18, 2021. Atlanta, with the NL’s third-best record at 80-51, remained three games behind the New York Mets in the East Division.
Facing Colorado for the first time in his career, Wright (17-5) allowed five hits with two walks and six strikeouts, throwing 63 of his 96 pitches for strikes. The No. 5 overall draft pick of 2017 is trying to become the first Braves pitcher to lead the NL in wins since Russ Ortiz had 21 in 2003. Hall of Famer Tom Glavine was the last Atlanta pitcher to lead the majors in victories with 21 in 2000.
A.J. Minter faced the minimum for Atlanta in the eighth, and Kenley Jansen earned his 30th save in 35 chances after facing five batters in a shaky ninth.
Riley’s 32nd homer, an opposite-field, two-run shot to right-center off Ryan Feltner (2-6), put the Braves up 2-0 in the first. Those were all the runs Wright would need, but Acuña nevertheless added some insurance with his 11th long ball, an estimated 444-foot blast to center off Feltner that left his bat at 111 mph and made it 3-0 in the fifth.
Michael Toglia hit his first career homer, a two-run shot, to make it 3-2 in the ninth off Jansen.
Wright, coming off seven scoreless innings in a 14-2 victory Aug. 24 at Pittsburgh, pitched around a walk in the first before stranding two runners in scoring position in the second when Brian Serven popped up and in the third when José Iglesias flew out. He didn’t allow a runner to advance past first the rest of the way.
The Rockies were attempting to win three straight on the road for the first time this year, the last stretch coming Sept. 12-18, 2021 when they won five in a row. Colorado is 20-43 away from Coors Field and has the majors’ worst road winning percentage.
Prior to Atlanta’s four-game sweep June 2-5 at Coors Field, the Rockies had won 30 of 42 games against the Braves. They are 15-5 in Atlanta since the start of 2015 and are 11-3 at Truist Park.
Riley began the night hitting .317 over his last 88 games and he has 24 homers and 67 RBIs over that stretch.
Wright improved to 11-2 with a 2.82 ERA in 15 starts at Truist Park this year. He has won four straight starts and eight of nine overall.
Feltner allowed three runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He began the game 0-2 with a 19.06 ERA in two career starts against Atlanta and dropped to 0-4 with a 5.97 ERA in eight road games this season.
The Braves are 6 for 30 with runners in scoring position during their three-game skid.
YOU’RE OUT
With two outs in the first and Atlanta leading 2-0, William Contreras tried to score from first on Michael Harris II’s double into the right-field corner but was tagged out on Brendan Rodgers’ relay throw to the plate. … Rockies CF Randal Grichuk laid out on a running dive to his left to catch Acuña’s liner for the first out of the third.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Acuña, who homered for the first time since Aug. 13 at Miami, went 1 for 4 after returning from missing three games with pain in his surgically repaired right knee. The Braves are 63-29 with him in the lineup and 17-22 without. … Atlanta 2B Ozzie Albies will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday. He’s been sidelined since June 14 with a broken left foot. … The Braves returned RHP Darren O’Day and C Chadwick Tromp from rehab assignments after both were reinjured Tuesday. O’Day has a sprained right big toe and Tromp has an injured left quadriceps.
UP NEXT
Braves RHP Spencer Strider (8-4, 2.87 ERA) will face RHP Chad Kuhl (6-7, 5.17) as the teams wrap up a three-game series.

NEW YORK — Serena Williams has at least one more singles match left.
Williams moved into the third round of the U.S. Open with a 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 victory over No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit on Wednesday night.

NEW YORK — Serena Williams eliminated No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 in the U.S. Open’s second round Wednesday night to ensure that the 23-time Grand Slam champion will play at least one more singles match at what she’s hinted will be the last tournament of her illustrious career.
The 40-year-old Williams was again buoyed by a loud crowd at a full Arthur Ashe Stadium, just as she was in the first round two days earlier.
She hit serves at up to 119 mph, stayed with Kontaveit during lengthy exchanges of big swings from the baselines and conjured up some of her trademark brilliance when it was needed most.
After pulling out a tight first set, then faltering a bit in the second, Williams headed to the locker room for a bit of a break before the third.
Something had to give, someone had to blink.
When they resumed, it was Williams who lifted her level and emerged as the better player.
Just as she’s done, so many times on so many stages, with so much at stake.
The six-time champion at Flushing Meadows will play Friday for a spot in the fourth round. Her opponent will be Ajla Tomljanovic, a 29-year-old Australian.
Williams wore the same glittery crystal-encrusted top and diamond-accented sneakers — replete with solid gold shoelace tags and the word “Queen” on the right one, “Mama” on the left — that she sported Monday.
Long someone whose on-court fashion has stood out from the crowd, Williams helped design the Nike combo, which was inspired by what figure skaters wear to compete. Williams’ daughter, Olympia, who turns 5 on Thursday, wore her own version to sit in the stands Monday, along with beads that paid tribute to Mom’s hairstyle when she won her first major title 23 years ago. | https://www.kare11.com/article/news/nation-world/serena-williams-us-open-round-2/507-52a5ec62-a7a6-4942-b957-7fc7fca44ed0 | 2022-09-01T02:47:28Z | https://www.kare11.com/article/news/nation-world/serena-williams-us-open-round-2/507-52a5ec62-a7a6-4942-b957-7fc7fca44ed0 | false |
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man who died in a plane crash Sunday in Minnesota was scattering his father’s ashes, according to law enforcement.
Lee Cemensky, 58, was a Las Vegas resident until he sold his business, Brakes Plus, in February to return to Fifty Lakes, Minnesota.
Cemensky was a passenger in an aircraft flown by Douglas A. Johnson, who operated an amphibious aircraft known as “the swan” that catered to tourists and sightseeing in the community of Emily, Minnesota.
Authorities were called to a rural part outside Emily, roughly 150 miles north of Minneapolis Sunday evening when the plane didn’t arrive at its destination. Roughly two hours later, emergency crews found the plane in a wooded area.
Both Cemensky and Johnson, 61, were found dead.
Lt. Craig Katzenberger of the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office said deputies who responded to the scene on Sunday night learned that Cemensky had been scattering his father’s ashes.
The aircraft Cemensky and Johnson had been in was described as “homemade.” Katzenberger said the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
He added that the sheriff’s office investigation is still active.
Cemensky’s father, Leo John Cemensky, died at his home in Fifty Lakes on Aug. 7, according to an online obituary from Koop Funeral Home. He is survived by his wife Vikki; a son and daughter, four grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
Attempts to reach the family for comment have been unsuccessful.
Joseph Hunter, manager of Brakes Plus, said he bought the business from Lee Cemensky on Feb. 28. He said he met him as the business was changing hands, and said he was a “good guy … good to all his customers.”
Cemensky owned the shop for 20 to 25 years, Hunter said. | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/man-killed-in-plane-crash-was-scattering-his-fathers-ashes-minnesota-officials-say/ | 2022-09-01T02:49:57Z | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/man-killed-in-plane-crash-was-scattering-his-fathers-ashes-minnesota-officials-say/ | false |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The search of former President Donald Trump' s Mar-a-Lago club for classified documents and other government records may have come as a surprise to the public. But new legal filings show the investigation that triggered the unprecedented action was months in the making. The documents make clear that Trump had ample opportunity to return the material the government requested —- and then subpoenaed — and reveal the sheer quantity of highly sensitive documents he was keeping at the club.
A timeline of notable developments:
JAN. 20, 2021
Then-President Donald Trump left the White House for Florida ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. According to the General Services Administration, members of Trump's transition team were responsible for packing items into boxes, putting boxes on pallets and shrink-wrapping those pallets so they could be transported.
Prior to shipping, GSA said it “required the outgoing transition team to certify in writing that the items being shipped were required to wind down the Office of the Former President and would be utilized as the Office transitioned to its new location in Florida.”
GSA did not examine the contents of the boxes and "had no knowledge of the contents prior to shipping,” according to an agency spokesperson. GSA was also not responsible for the former president’s personal belongings, which were transported by a private moving company.
Under the Presidential Records Act, presidential records are considered federal property — not private — and are supposed to be turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration. Multiple federal laws govern the handling of classified and sensitive government documents, including statutes that make it a crime to remove such material and retain it at an unauthorized location.
MAY 2021
After NARA realized that documents from Trump's presidency seemed to be missing from the material that it received as he left office, the agency requested the records from Trump on or about May 6, 2021, according to a heavily redacted affidavit made public last week.
DECEMBER 2021:
NARA “continued to make requests” for records it believed to be missing for several months, according to the affidavit. Around late December 2021, a Trump representative informed the agency that an additional 12 boxes of records that should have been turned over had been found at the former president's Mar-a-Lago club and residence and were ready to be retrieved.
JAN. 18, 2022
NARA received 15 boxes of presidential records that had been stored at Mar-a-Lago — 14 of which, it would later be revealed, contained classified documents. The documents were found mixed in with an assortment of other material, including newspapers, magazines, photos and personal correspondence.
In total, the boxes were found to contain 184 documents with classified markings, including 67 marked confidential, 92 secret and 25 top secret. Agents who inspected the boxes also found special markings suggesting they included information from highly sensitive human sources or the collection of electronic “signals” authorized by a court under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
FEB. 9, 2022
The special agent in charge of NARA’s Office of the Inspector General sent a referral to the Justice Department via email after a preliminary review of the boxes revealed numerous classified documents.
“Of most significant concern," they wrote, according to a heavily-redacted affidavit released last week, “was that highly classified records were unfoldered, intermixed with other records, and otherwise unproperly (sic) identified."
After an initial review of the NARA referral, the FBI opened a criminal investigation into the matter.
FEB. 10, 2022
Trump's Save America PAC released a statement insisting the return of the documents had been as “routine” and “no big deal.”
Trump insisted the “papers were given easily and without conflict and on a very friendly basis," and added, “It was a great honor to work with NARA to help formally preserve the Trump Legacy.”
FEB. 18, 2022
NARA revealed in a letter to a congressional oversight committee that classified information was found in the 15 recovered boxes and confirmed the Justice Department referral.
Trump’s Save America PAC released another statement insisting, “The National Archives did not ‘find’ anything," but "were given, upon request, Presidential Records in an ordinary and routine process to ensure the preservation of my legacy and in accordance with the Presidential Records Act.”
APRIL 12, 2022
NARA informed Trump of its intent to provide the documents to the FBI, at the request of the Justice Department. A Trump representative requested an extension until April 29.
APRIL 29, 2022
The Justice Department sent a letter to Trump's lawyers seeking immediate access to the material, “citing “important national security interest.”
“Access to the materials is not only necessary for purposes of our ongoing criminal investigation, but the Executive Branch must also conduct an assessment of the potential damage resulting from the apparent manner in which these materials were stored and transported and take any necessary remedial steps," the department wrote.
Trump's lawyers requested an additional extension.
MAY 10, 2022
NARA informed Trump's lawyers that it would provide the FBI access to the records as soon as May 12.
MAY 11, 2022
The Justice Department issued a subpoena for additional records.
JUNE 3, 2022
Three FBI agents and a DOJ attorney went to Mar-a-Lago to collect additional material offered by a Trump attorney in response to the subpoena. They were given “a single Redweld envelope, double-wrapped in tape, containing the documents," according to an Aug. 30 filing.
That envelope, it was later found, contained 38 documents with classification markings, including five documents marked confidential, 16 marked secret and 17 marked top secret.
During the visit, the filing said, “Counsel for the former President offered no explanation as to why boxes of government records, including 38 documents with classification markings, remained at the Premises nearly five months after the production of the Fifteen Boxes and nearly one-and-a-half years after the end of the Administration.”
Trump’s lawyers also told investigators that all of the records that had come from the White House were stored in one location — a Mar-a-Lago storage room. Investigators were permitted to visit the room, but were “explicitly prohibited” from opening or looking inside any of the boxes, they reported, “giving no opportunity for the government to confirm that no documents with classification markings remained."
The Justice Department was also given a signed certification letter stating that a “diligent search” had been completed and that no documents remained.
JUNE 8, 2022
The Justice Department sent a letter to Trump’s lawyer requesting that the storage room be secured, and that “all of the boxes that were moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago (along with any other items in that room) be preserved in that room in their current condition until farther notice.”
AUG. 5, 2022
The Justice Department filed an application for a search and seizure warrant of Mar-a-Lago, citing “probable cause" that additional presidential records and records containing classified information remained in various parts of the club.
“There is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction” would be found, read the heavily-redacted copy of the affidavit laying out the FBI’s rationale for the search.
The Justice Department also revealed in the Aug. 30 filing that it had found evidence “that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation."
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart in South Florida approved the application that same day.
AUG. 8, 2022
The FBI executed the search at Mar-a-Lago, seizing 36 items of evidence, including boxes and containers holding more than 100 classified records, an order pardoning Trump ally Roger Stone and information about the “President of France.”
Agents found classified documents both in the storage room as well as in the former president’s office — including three classified documents found not in boxes, but in office desks.
They included items so sensitive that, “In some instances, even the FBI counterintelligence personnel and DOJ attorneys conducting the review required additional clearances before they were permitted to review certain documents.”
“That the FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the ‘diligent search’ that the former President’s counsel and other representatives had weeks to perform calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter,” the Justice Department wrote.
Trump and his allies, meanwhile, cast the search as a weaponization of the criminal justice system aimed at damaging him politically as he prepares for another potential White House run.
AUG. 12, 2022
Judge Reinhart unsealed the warrant that authorized the FBI to search Mar-a-Lago, which details that federal agents were investigating potential violations of three federal laws, including the Espionage Act.
AUG. 26, 2022
A highly redacted version of the affidavit laying out the FBI’s rationale for searching Mar-a-Lago was released.
AUG. 30, 2022
The Justice Department responded to Trump's request for a special master in a filing that included new details about the investigation, including an assertion that classified documents were “likely concealed and removed” from a storage room at Mar-a-Lago as part of an effort to obstruct the probe.
It included a photograph of some the material found at the club, including cover pages of paperclip-bound documents — some marked as “TOP SECRET//SCI” with bright yellow borders and one marked as “SECRET//SCI” with a rust-colored border — splayed out on a carpet at Mar-a-Lago.
“Terrible the way the FBI, during the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, threw documents haphazardly all over the floor (perhaps pretending it was me that did it!), and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see,” Trump responded. “Thought they wanted them kept Secret?”

HARRISON, N.J. — Christian Benteke is no savior. There is, after all, nothing to save of this D.C. United season, which will end in 5½ weeks without an MLS playoff berth for the third consecutive fall.
After waiting weeks for a work visa — then flying directly to New York from London on Tuesday to join his new club — Benteke made his United debut Wednesday by entering in the 73rd minute of a surprise 2-1 victory over reigning champion New York City FC at Red Bull Arena.
United’s prized summer signing will, in a full season, become the highest-paid player in club history, a yet-to-be-disclosed figure that will surpass Wayne Rooney’s contract when the D.C. coach was a D.C. player in 2018 and 2019.
Benteke replaced Ola Kamara, who had given United the lead in the first half. After NYC quickly tied it, United went back ahead early in the second half on Steven Birnbaum’s header.
In his brief appearance, Benteke had minor influence as NYC pressed for a late equalizer and enjoyed much of possession. United (7-17-4) ended a four-game losing streak and a six-match winless rut with its second victory in 12 matches.
Rooney had hoped to pair Benteke with all-star Taxi Fountas, but the Greek forward suffered a concussion Sunday in Atlanta. If Fountas clears protocols, the duo might start together — or at least play at the same time — Sunday night against the Colorado Rapids at Audi Field.
For the second consecutive match, United scored first. For the second consecutive match, United conceded the equalizer almost right away.
Kamara provided the lead in the 24th minute. Chris Durkin did well to break free on the left side before crossing into the six-yard box, where Kamara didn’t have a defender within yards of him. He tapped it in for his ninth goal of the year and 28th over two seasons.
On Sunday, Atlanta needed two minutes to respond. On Wednesday, NYC (13-9-6) took three. Malte Amundsen crossed to Brazilian forward Héber for a 13-yard one-timer that took a deflection en route to the target and zipped past goalkeeper David Ochoa.
United regained the lead in the 57th minute. In front of United’s bench, Martín Rodríguez launched a long free kick to the back side of the box. Birnbaum’s eight-yard header came off goalkeeper Sean Johnson’s hand and settled into the far corner for his second goal of the year.
With a small crowd giving off a preseason vibe, United carried itself like a home team hungry for another goal rather than an away side content with a lead. NYC turned to its bench, inserting playmaker Maxi Moralez, who usually starts.
United’s defense held firm, and in stoppage time, Ochoa made a spectacular soaring save on Gedion Zelalem’s bid from distance.
Here’s what else to know about United’s victory:
Youth movement
Following his pledge to integrate young players, Rooney included new homegrown signings Kristian Fletcher, 17, and Matai Akinmboni, 15, on the game-day roster. Fletcher, The Washington Post’s All-Met Player of the Year last fall from Landon School, entered in the 88th minute. Both will continue playing for second-division Loudoun United.
Akinmboni, who will turn 16 in October, is a 6-foot-3 center back from the club’s youth academy. Fletcher, an attacker, played youth soccer at Bethesda Soccer Club and won’t officially join the first team until January. On Wednesday, he was on loan from Loudoun.
Nyeman departs
Midfielder Moses Nyeman, 18, became the third homegrown to transfer overseas this year when United struck a deal with Beveren in Belgium’s second division. Terms weren’t disclosed, but two people familiar with the deal said United received $350,000 and 25 percent of any future transfer.
Kevin Paredes (Wolfsburg in Germany) and Griffin Yow (Westerlo in Belgium) also have gone abroad.
Contract talks
United is in preliminary talks with Ochoa’s agent about a long-term contract, three people close to the situation said. Ochoa, who has received interest from European clubs, is in the last year of his MLS deal. If he were to go abroad, United would retain his MLS rights.
Home away from home
Wednesday’s match was originally scheduled for April 9 at Citi Field but moved because of NYC’s Concacaf Champions League schedule. The club, which for years has been seeking to build a stadium of its own, is based at Yankee Stadium but also uses the New York Mets’ ballpark and Red Bull Arena, home to its archrival. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/08/31/dc-united-nycfc-christian-benteke/ | 2022-09-01T02:58:06Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/08/31/dc-united-nycfc-christian-benteke/ | true |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Aníbal Sánchez earned his first victory in nearly two years, Luke Voit hit a two-run home run and the Washington Nationals beat the Oakland Athletics 5-1 on Wednesday night.
Dermis Garcia homered for the second straight game for Oakland, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. The Athletics are an AL-worst 49-82 and assured of their first losing season since 2017.
Sánchez (1-5) worked a season-high seven innings, allowing three hits and one run in earning his first victory since Sept. 26, 2020. The 38-year-old did not pitch last year and did not debut this season until July 14 because of a cervical nerve impingement. The right-hander had not gone more than 5 2/3 innings in his previous eight starts for Washington, which had dropped six of eight. The Nationals have the worst record in the majors at 44-86.
It was the second time in three games a Nationals starting pitcher earned a victory. Washington had gone a major-league record 43 games without a starter earning a victory before Patrick Corbin defeated Cincinnati on Sunday.
Working in a non-save situation, Washington closer Kyle Finnegan loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth before striking out pinch hitter Stephen Vogt to end it.
Washington went up 2-1 in the fifth against Oakland starter James Kaprielian (3-9) on back-to-back RBI singles by Josh Palacios and Luis García.
After García was erased on a double-play grounder, Voit hit an opposite-field shot to right-center for his 18th home run of the season and fifth since joining the Nationals earlier this month as part of the deal that sent Juan Soto and Josh Bell to San Diego.
CJ Abrams chased Kaprielian with a two-out double in the sixth, then scored on Ildemaro Vargas’ RBI double off Zach Logue.
Kaprielian allowed five runs, two earned, and struck out three in 5 2/3 innings.
Garcia gave Oakland a 1-0 lead with a shot to left in the second.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Athletics: Manager Mark Kotsay said OF Ramón Laureano (strained left oblique) will begin a rehabilitation assignment Thursday with Class A Stockton. … Oakland recalled RHP Norge Ruiz from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Nationals: Washington placed RHP Cade Cavalli (shoulder inflammation) on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Sunday, and recalled RHP Cory Abbott from Triple-A Rochester. … Manager Dave Martinez said C Tres Barrera is likely to be one of the Nationals’ call-ups when rosters expand Thursday.
UP NEXT
Athletics: LHP Ken Waldichuk makes his major league debut. Waldichuk is 6-4 with a 2.84 ERA in the minors this season and was acquired earlier this month in the deal that sent Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino to the New York Yankees.
Nationals: RHP Paolo Espino (0-6, 4.35 ERA), who is 0-6 with a 5.32 ERA in 14 starts since joining Washington’s rotation in June, gets the nod as the three-game series concludes.

DETROIT (AP) — Abraham Toro hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Wednesday night for their fifth win in six games.
Toro, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, had two hits. Eugenio Suarez also hit a two-run homer for the Mariners.
Seattle starter Marco Gonzales (10-12) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. Paul Sewald worked around two walks in the ninth to get his 17th save.
Jeimer Candelario drove in two runs for Detroit. Starting pitcher Tyler Alexander allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings, while Alex Lange (4-4) took the loss.
Suarez's 25th homer of the season came on a 3-0 pitch from Alexander in the first inning.
Detroit evened the score with two second-inning runs on Candelario's RBI single and Willi Castro's fielder's choice grounder. Candelario's second run-scoring single of the game gave Detroit a 3-2 edge in the sixth.
Seattle regained the advantage when Toro followed Adam Frazier's triple with a one-out blast off Lange in the seventh. Ty France drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to give the Mariners a two-run lead.
GRAND MILESTONE
Scott Servais managed his 1,000th game for the Mariners on Wednesday. Servais has managed the second-most games in Mariners history, trailing only Lou Piniella (1,551 games).
ROSTER MOVES
Mariners: LHP Matthew Boyd and OF Taylor Trammell will be activated when the rosters expand to 28 players on Thursday. Boyd made 143 starts for Detroit from 2015-21 and signed with San Francisco as a free agent during the offseason while recovering from left flexor tendon surgery. Boyd, who was traded to Seattle in early August but has yet to make his season debut, will be used out of the bullpen. Trammell has appeared in 32 games with the Mariners this season, batting .235 with three homers.
Tigers: 1B Spencer Torkelson and INF Ryan Kreidler will be activated when rosters expand on Thursday. Torkelson batted just .197 in 83 games with Detroit before getting demoted to Triple-A Toledo, where he hit .228 with five homers in 34 games. Kreidler batted .213 with eight homers in 56 games with the Mud Hens. ... RHP Michael Pineda (right tricep tightness) will also be activated from the 15-day injured list. Pineda's last major-league appearance was July 23.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Mariners; SS J.P. Crawford (strained pectoral muscle) didn't start the game but entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth.
UP NEXT
Mariners: RHP Logan Gilbert (10-5, 3.49 ERA) will look to end a nine-game winless drought in the series finale on Thursday afternoon. Gilbert's last victory came on July 5.
Tigers: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (3-3, 3.60 ERA) has won both of his starts since coming off the restricted list. Rodriguez has a 4-3 record and 3.46 ERA in nine career outings against Seattle. | https://www.mrt.com/sports/article/Toro-s-two-run-HR-carries-Mariners-past-Tigers-17411612.php | 2022-09-01T03:02:57Z | https://www.mrt.com/sports/article/Toro-s-two-run-HR-carries-Mariners-past-Tigers-17411612.php | true |

NEW YORK — Amid the bright lights and electronic billboards across New York's Times Square, city authorities are posting new signs proclaiming the bustling crossroads a “Gun Free Zone.”
The sprawling Manhattan tourist attraction is one of scores of “sensitive” places — including parks, churches and theaters — that will be off limits for guns under a sweeping new state law going into effect Thursday. The measure, passed after a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June expanded gun rights, also sets stringent standards for issuing concealed carry permits.
A federal judge declined to put the new gun rules on hold Wednesday, one day before the law was to take effect. Despite writing that the arguments for granting a preliminary injunction to stop the rules were persuasive, Judge Glenn Suddaby said the plaintiffs — an upstate New York resident and three gun rights organizations — didn’t have standing to bring the legal action.
New York is among a half-dozen states that had key provisions of its gun laws invalidated by the high court because of a requirement for applicants to prove they had “proper cause” for a permit. Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday that she and her fellow Democrats in the state Legislature took action the next week because the ruling “destroyed the ability for a governor to be able to protect her citizens from people who carry concealed weapons anywhere they choose.”
The quickly adopted law, however, has led to confusion and court challenges from gun owners who say it improperly limits their constitutional rights.
“They seem to be designed less towards addressing gun violence and more towards simply preventing people from getting guns — even if those people are law-abiding, upstanding citizens, who according to the Supreme Court have the rights to have them,” said Jonathan Corbett, a Brooklyn attorney and permit applicant who is one of several people challenging the law in court.
Under the law, applicants for a concealed carry permit will have to complete 16 hours of classroom training and two hours of live-fire exercises. Ordinary citizens would be prohibited from bringing guns to schools, churches, subways, theaters and amusement parks — among other places deemed “sensitive” by authorities.
Applicants also will have to provide a list of social media accounts for the past three years as part of a “character and conduct” review. The requirement was added because shooters have sometimes dropped hints of violence online before they opened fire on people.
Sheriffs in some upstate counties said the additional work for their investigators could add to existing backlogs in processing applications.
In Rochester, Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter said it currently takes two to four hours to perform a pistol permit background check on a “clean” candidate. He estimate the new law will add another one to three hours for each permit. The county has about 600 pending pistol permits.
“It’s going to slow everything down just a bit more,” he said.
In the Mohawk Valley, Fulton County Sheriff Richard C. Giardino had questions on how the digital sleuthing would proceed.
“It says three years worth of your social media. We’re not going to print out three years of social media posts by everybody. If you look at my Facebook, I send out six or 10 things a day,” said the sheriff, a former district attorney and judge.
The list of prohibited spaces for carrying guns has drawn criticism from advocates who say it's so extensive it will make it difficult for people with permits to move about in public. People carrying a gun could go into private business only with permission, such as a sign posted on the window.
Giardino has already started giving out signs to local businesses saying people can carry legal firearms on the premises. Jennifer Elson, who owns the Let’s Twist Again Diner in Amsterdam, said she put up the sheriff’s sign, along with one of her own reading in part “per our governor, we have to post this nonsense. If you are a law abiding citizen who obtained a legal permit to carry, you are welcome here.”
“I feel pretty strongly that everybody’s constitutional rights should be protected,” she said.
But in Times Square, visited by about 50 million tourists annually, and many less crowded places carrying a gun will be illegal starting Thursday.
New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said Tuesday she looked forward to seeing authorities move to “protect New Yorkers and visitors who frequent Times Square.”
One lawsuit challenging provisions of the law argued the rules make it hard for license holders to leave home without violating the law. A federal judge is expected to rule soon on a motion challenging multiple provisions of the law, which was filed on behalf of a Schenectady resident who holds a license to carry.
The Supreme Court ruling also led to a flurry of legislation in California to tighten rules on gun ownership, including a new law that could hold gun dealers and manufacturers responsible for any harm caused by anyone they have “reasonable cause to believe is at substantial risk” of using a gun illegally.
Earlier this month, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a measure that would require gun permit applicants to undergo personal interviews with a licensing authority.
New Jersey required people to get training before receiving a permit and would require new residents to register guns brought in from out of state.
Hawaii, which has the nation’s lowest number of gun deaths, is still weighing its options. Since the Supreme Court's ruling, the state has only granted one new gun permit.
While New York does not keep statewide data on pistol permit applications, there are reports of long lines at county clerks' office and other evidence of a surge in applications before the law takes effect.
In the Mohawk Valley, Pine Tree Rifle Club President Paul Catucci said interest in the club's volunteer-run safety courses “blew right up” late this summer.
“I had to turn hundreds of them away,” he said. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/nation-world/new-york-to-restrict-gun-carrying-after-scotus-ruling/507-4f9191b9-ee8e-47cb-bf1b-15abd4c3f53d | 2022-09-01T03:05:31Z | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/nation-world/new-york-to-restrict-gun-carrying-after-scotus-ruling/507-4f9191b9-ee8e-47cb-bf1b-15abd4c3f53d | false |

CARROLLTON, Ala. (WIAT) — Carrollton city leaders are working to reopen the Pickens County Medical Center. The hospital closed two years ago due to financial problems and was the only medical facility in the County.
Carrollton Mayor Mickey Walker is trying to collect 5,000 signatures to send to the state legislature in Montgomery in hopes to get the hospital open again.
“Me and all the other mayors in Pickens County have been working together to do all we can do to try to get the hospital back open,” Walker said. “Last week we all got together to talk to some of our legislators because there is money available, and we are trying to get 5,000 signatures to present them to give to the state finance committee.”
Walker says it will take $12 million to reopen the hospital. When it shut down, 130 workers lost jobs. The facility has 56 beds and a surgical center.
Walker says hundreds of residents in the county need a closer hospital. The only other nearest hospitals are in Columbus, MS, and Tuscaloosa.
“We have so many elderly people and we are suffering and we need a second chance and realize the hospital failed before,” Walker said. “But we are asking everybody from the state to the federal level: help us open this hospital.”
The Mayor tells CBS 42 that if the plan works, they would like to reopen the emergency room first in January and then later open the entire hospital. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/carrollton-mayor-doing-petition-drive-to-reopen-pickens-county-medical-center/ | 2022-09-01T03:13:18Z | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/carrollton-mayor-doing-petition-drive-to-reopen-pickens-county-medical-center/ | false |

MINNEAPOLIS (NewsNation) — A nearly 30-year-old cold case has finally been solved thanks in part to a tiny smudge of DNA found on a napkin.
Jerry Westrom, 56, was found guilty Thursday of first-degree premeditated murder and second-degree intentional murder for the killing of 35-year-old Jeanne “Jeanie” Childs.
“My condolences go out to the victim and her family. They have had to live without justice for her brutal murder for nearly three decades. I hope this brings some closure to them,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said in a press release.
Childs, who was a known sex worker, was found stabbed to death in her Minneapolis apartment back in June 1993. The crime scene was covered in DNA evidence, but technology could not trace it back to anyone at the time.
For 27 years, the case stayed stagnant, with no luck in proving Childs’ killer.
Then in 2018, investigators checked to see if DNA found at the scene matched any on a “commercial genealogy site,” similar to methods used in the Golden State killer case.
Westrom came back as a match.
A self-claimed Minneapolis farmer, officials said Westrom had several run-ins with the law, including instances involving prostitutes, around the time of Childs’ murder.
Investigators began tailing Westrom in 2019. While he was attending a hockey game with his daughter, he threw out napkins he used to clean his face after eating a hot dog.
Investigators dug the napkins out of the trash and were able to match DNA samples to the ones from the murder scene decades earlier.
Once the connection was made, Westrom was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, which holds a maximum sentence of 40 years if found guilty.
Westrom was later indicted in June 2020 for first-degree murder, which, if found guilty of, carries a mandatory life sentence under Minnesota law.
After just two hours of jury deliberation on Thursday, Westrom was found guilty and convicted of both charges in the killing of Childs.
Westrom now faces an automatic life sentence, without the possibility of parole. However, an official sentencing date has not been released. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/hot-dog-napkin-leads-to-guilty-verdict-in-29-year-old-cold-case-murder/ | 2022-09-01T03:13:48Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/hot-dog-napkin-leads-to-guilty-verdict-in-29-year-old-cold-case-murder/ | false |

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan elections board on Wednesday rejected an abortion rights initiative after its two Republican board members voted against putting the proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot.
The two Democrats on the Board of State Canvassers voted in favor, but getting the measure on the ballot required at least three votes of the four-member board. The Reproductive Freedom for All campaign, which gathered signatures to get the measure on the ballot, is expected to appeal to the Democratic-leaning Michigan Supreme Court in the coming days and expressed confidence it would prevail.
The board’s administrative and clerical work on elections was once carried out in obscurity, but it drew national attention in 2020 when Donald Trump pressured Republican members not to certify Joe Biden’s electoral win in the state. Its partisan split was evident on another issue Wednesday, when it deadlocked 2-2 on a measure to expand voting, with Democrats for it and Republicans against.
Abortion rights have become a powerful motivator for voters since Roe was overturned. In conservative Kansas, voters overwhelmingly defeated a ballot measure that would have allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban the procedure outright, and the issue has swayed votes in special elections for Congress, including in a battleground district in upstate New York. Nationally, Democrats have seen an increase in fundraising since the Supreme Court decision.
The proposed constitutional amendment aims to negate a 91-year-old state law that would ban abortion in all instances except to save the life of the mother. The meeting drew hundreds of people, who packed the hearing room and overflow rooms for a chance to comment. Abortion opponents also protested outside.
Michigan’s 1931 law — which abortion opponents had hoped would be triggered by a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade in June — remains blocked after months of court battles. A state judge ruled Aug. 19 that Republican county prosecutors couldn’t enforce the ban, saying it was “in the public’s best interest to let the people of the great state of Michigan decide this matter at the ballot box.”
Darci McConnell, a spokeswoman for Reproductive Freedom for All, the group backing the measure, said she remains confident.
“We had more than 730,000 people who read, signed and understood what they signed. The board was supposed to do one thing today and affirm that we had the signatures, their own bureau said we did. So we’re still optimistic that we’ll be on the ballot in November,” McConnell said.
Supporters of the other initiative, to expand voting including adding ballot drop boxes, also are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court. Groups have seven business days to appeal and the ballot must be finalized by Sept. 9.
Having abortion rights on the ballot in November would almost certainly be a boon for Democrats in Michigan, a swing state where voters will also be deciding whether Democrats keep control of statewide offices, including governor and secretary of state. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other Democrats have put abortion rights front and center in their campaigns, and after Republicans chose businesswoman Tudor Dixon as the GOP nominee for governor, Democrats released an ad blasting her strong opposition to abortion, including in cases of rape and incest.
Abortion opponents protested noisily outside as the meeting got underway Wednesday. Their muffled yells could be heard inside the hearing room, and the Republican board chairman at one point asked security to tell them to stop banging on the windows.
During the public comment period, Dr. Jessica Frost, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Lansing, told the board “we must restore the reproductive protections lost when Roe was overturned.”
Opponents said the ballot language was confusing. Several called abortion immoral and warned board members against approval.
“I can’t imagine a more important decision that you have to ever make in your life, because I know that you and I will kneel before Christ someday and answer for the decision you make today,” Billy Putman said.
The Bureau of Elections verified last Thursday that the abortion ballot initiative petition contained enough valid signatures for the amendment to qualify for the ballot and recommended that the state Board of Canvassers approve the measure.
On Wednesday, Mary Ellen Gurewitz, a Democratic canvasser, said the board had “no authority to reject this petition due to challenges to the content of the petition.” But Tony Daunt, a Republican canvasser, said errors in some petition language were “egregious.”
The Michigan Board of Canvassers, comprising two Republicans and two Democrats, has become increasingly partisan in recent years.
Trump’s pressure in 2020 led one member, who has since resigned, to abstain from certifying Biden’s win. The other GOP board member, who voted to certify, wasn’t nominated again by the state GOP party and was replaced by Daunt, the board chairman.
Earlier this year, two leading candidates for the GOP nomination for governor were dropped from the primary ballot after the board deadlocked along partisan lines on whether too many fraudulent signatures on their nomination papers made them ineligible. A tie vote meant the candidates lost.

DETROIT (AP) — Abraham Toro hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Wednesday night for their fifth win in six games.
Toro, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, had two hits and Eugenio Suarez also hit a two-run homer for the Mariners.
“I just like those moments,” Toro said. “Tight situations and you just want to drive that run in. ... You want to get the ball in the air and I was able to do that.”
Seattle manager Scott Servais feels Toro's .187 batting average is deceiving.
“He goes up there in an aggressive mode,” Servais said. “He's gotten a lot of big hits. People look at his batting average and inconsistencies but the home runs he's hit late in games and the big hits he's had late in games have won us quite a few games.”
Seattle starter Marco Gonzales (10-12) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. Paul Sewald worked around two walks in the ninth to get his 17th save.
Gonzales didn't give up a run in his last four innings after making a uniform change.
“I came in and changed my jersey,” he said. “I just needed to change it up. I didn't feel like myself. I felt kind of shaky, a little off. I came in and changed my jersey and we rolled from there.”
Jeimer Candelario drove in two runs for Detroit. Starting pitcher Tyler Alexander allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings, while Alex Lange (4-4) took the loss.
Suarez's 25th homer of the season came on a 3-0 pitch from Alexander in the first inning.
Detroit evened the score with two second-inning runs on Candelario's RBI single and Willi Castro's fielder's choice grounder. Candelario's second run-scoring single of the game gave Detroit a 3-2 edge in the sixth.
The Tigers had some bad luck, as three innings ended with line drives with runners on base.
“A foot either way and you're talking about breaking the game open,” manager A.J. Hinch said. “In a close game, it feels like you have to be perfect. They've been very good in close games and I think we saw why tonight.”
Seattle regained the advantage when Toro followed Adam Frazier's triple with a one-out blast off Lange in the seventh. Ty France drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to give the Mariners a two-run lead.
GRAND MILESTONE
Scott Servais managed his 1,000th game for the Mariners on Wednesday. Servais has managed the second-most games in Mariners history, trailing only Lou Piniella (1,551 games).
ROSTER MOVES
Mariners: LHP Matthew Boyd and OF Taylor Trammell will be activated when the rosters expand to 28 players on Thursday. Boyd made 143 starts for Detroit from 2015-21 and signed with San Francisco as a free agent during the offseason while recovering from left flexor tendon surgery. Boyd, who was traded to Seattle in early August but has yet to make his season debut, will be used out of the bullpen. Trammell has appeared in 32 games with the Mariners this season, batting .235 with three homers.
Tigers: 1B Spencer Torkelson and INF Ryan Kreidler will be activated when rosters expand on Thursday. Torkelson batted just .197 in 83 games with Detroit before getting demoted to Triple-A Toledo, where he hit .228 with five homers in 34 games. Kreidler batted .213 with eight homers in 56 games with the Mud Hens. ... RHP Michael Pineda (right tricep tightness) will also be activated from the 15-day injured list. Pineda's last major-league appearance was July 23.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Mariners; SS J.P. Crawford (strained pectoral muscle) didn't start the game but entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth.
UP NEXT
Mariners: RHP Logan Gilbert (10-5, 3.49 ERA) will look to end a nine-game winless drought in the series finale on Thursday afternoon. Gilbert's last victory came on July 5.
Tigers: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (3-3, 3.60 ERA) has won both of his starts since coming off the restricted list. Rodriguez has a 4-3 record and 3.46 ERA in nine career outings against Seattle. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Toro-s-two-run-HR-carries-Mariners-past-Tigers-17411612.php | 2022-09-01T03:36:31Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Toro-s-two-run-HR-carries-Mariners-past-Tigers-17411612.php | false |
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Wednesday imposed sanctions on 20 companies and individuals operating across the Middle East that it says are involved in financing the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The sanctions are directed against what the Defense Ministry described as an international network operating “under the guise of legitimate companies” in Sudan, Turkey, Algeria and the United Arab Emirates.
The U.S. announced sanctions against many of the same entities in May. Israel and the U.S. say they are part of a Hamas-run financial network with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.
The Islamic militant group has carried out scores of deadly attacks against Israelis over the years, and it seized control of Gaza from the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority 15 years ago. Israel and Western countries consider Hamas a terrorist organization.
“We will continue to thwart Hamas’ attempts to funnel funds intended for the terrorist organization’s force buildup,” Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz said in a statement.
Israel and Egypt have maintained a crippling blockade on Gaza since the Hamas takeover, which Israel says is needed to prevent Hamas from re-arming. But the group has continued to improve its military capabilities — including the reach of its rockets — through four devastating wars with Israel.
The Palestinians and human rights groups view the blockade as a form of collective punishment of Gaza’s more than 2 million Palestinian residents.
Even as it tries to sanction Hamas, Israel has also taken steps to ease the Gaza blockade over the past year in return for calm. Those understandings with Hamas appear to have figured into the group’s decision to stay out of three days of heavy fighting between Israel and the smaller Islamic Jihad militant group earlier this month. | https://www.wivb.com/news/world/ap-israel-imposes-sanctions-on-alleged-hamas-financial-network/ | 2022-09-01T03:37:57Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/world/ap-israel-imposes-sanctions-on-alleged-hamas-financial-network/ | false |
Israel launched a missile attack on Wednesday targeting the airport in the Syrian city of Aleppo, Syrian state media said, citing a military source.
The Syrian government did not report any casualties.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based opposition war monitor, said in a statement that Israel fired four missiles targeting a runway at the Aleppo International Airport and warehouses surrounding it. The group claimed that the warehouses likely contained a shipment of Iranian rockets.
Meanwhile, Syrian state media reported air defense systems in Damascus firing at what it said were Israeli missiles targeting positions south of the Syrian capital. The opposition war monitor says the Israeli airstrikes targeted military positions. No casualties were reported.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of Syria over recent past years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. The Israeli military declined to comment on the airstrike targeting Aleppo’s airport.
Israel has acknowledged, however, that it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.
On Sunday, Israel launched an airstrike targeting a military facility in western Syrian. Satellite imagery showed widespread destruction in the depot which the opposition war-monitor said stored hundreds of middle-range missiles for Iran-backed fighters.
In June, Israeli airstrikes temporarily put Damascus International Airport out of commission. | https://www.wivb.com/news/world/ap-syria-israel-strikes-aleppo-airport/ | 2022-09-01T03:38:58Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/world/ap-syria-israel-strikes-aleppo-airport/ | false |
NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — The Coast Guard Academy is disenrolling seven cadets for failing to comply with the military’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate, after their requests for religious exemptions were denied and they were ordered to leave campus.
The academy in New London, Connecticut, confirmed the disenrollments Tuesday, The Day newspaper reported. A lawyer for several of the cadets said they were told on Aug. 18 that they had to leave campus by 4 p.m. the next day.
“They were escorted to the gate like they were criminals or something,” the lawyer, Michael Rose, told the newspaper.
“No one helped them with travel arrangements or gave them any money,” said Rose, based in Summerville, South Carolina. “One had to get to California, one to Alaska. One’s estranged from home and living out of his truck, according to an email I received describing his situation.”
Rose said two of the seven cadets had no homes to return to.
The cadets’ names have not been released. Rose said academy officials were “particularly mean-spirited” and could have waited until pending lawsuits challenging the military’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement were concluded.
In one of those lawsuits, Rose is representing more than 30 plaintiffs, including military personnel and service academy cadets, in litigation pending in federal court in South Carolina. Several of the cadets are from the Coast Guard Academy.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin last year made the COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for service members, including those at the military academies, saying the vaccine is critical to maintaining military readiness and the health of the force.
At least 98% of all active duty military members are either fully or partially vaccinated, according to the military branches. To date, about 5,700 service members have been discharged from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps for refusing to get vaccinated.
Earlier this year, three cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy who refused the vaccine were not commissioned as military officers but were allowed to graduate with bachelor’s degrees, while the other military academies said all their cadets were in compliance with the vaccine mandate.
A Coast Guard Academy spokesman, David Santos, said the seven cadets there were found to be in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for disobeying a superior officer and failing to obey an order or regulation. The cadets requested religious exemptions that were denied by school officials, he said.
Their disenrollments are in the process of being finalized, he said. | https://cw33.com/health/ap-health/ap-unvaccinated-cadets-ordered-off-coast-guard-academy-campus/ | 2022-09-01T03:45:54Z | https://cw33.com/health/ap-health/ap-unvaccinated-cadets-ordered-off-coast-guard-academy-campus/ | false |
The United States Postal Service (USPS) commemorates the centennial of the birth of one of the most famous cartoonists in U.S. history with Peanuts forever stamps.
The famed characters were created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, and an image of him taken in 1987 will be featured in the middle of the sheets of postage.
The Peanuts debuted in 1950 as a comic, gaining hundreds of millions of readers around the globe, with Charlie Brown taking center stage among the characters with very different personalities.
Designer and art director for the project, Greg Breeding, used Charles M. Schulz's art for the designs, according to USPS.
The forever stamps will always be equal in value to current First-Class Mail's one-ounce price, USPS said.
The postage sheets will contain 20 forever stamps, and selections will feature ten different designs showcasing Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and other characters from the popular comics and cartoons. | https://www.wptv.com/news/national/us-postal-service-celebrates-centennial-of-peanuts-cartoonists-birth-with-new-forever-stamps | 2022-09-01T03:51:43Z | https://www.wptv.com/news/national/us-postal-service-celebrates-centennial-of-peanuts-cartoonists-birth-with-new-forever-stamps | true |
Babylon Bee CEO offers $20K to catch Children’s Hospital bomb threat caller after gender surgery controversy
The Libs of TikTok Twitter account exposed videos of Boston Children's Hospital promoting 'gender affirmation' surgeries
Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon offered a $20,000 reward on Wednesday in an effort to find the source behind a bomb threat at Boston Children’s Hospital.
The hospital reported a bomb threat was received on Tuesday night leading to a large police investigation. Police eventually found that there was no bomb present on the premises and reopened the streets a couple of hours later.
Dillon remarked on the threat one day later, noting that several people, including the Boston Children’s Hospital, appear to be blaming the Libs of TikTok Twitter account for the threat.
Libs of TikTok had previously reposted a video from the hospital that promoted "gender-affirming" hysterectomies. Since the videos were shared, Boston Children’s Hospital has insisted that they do not perform hysterectomies on children despite their website previously promoting vaginoplasties for 17-year-olds. Further, they reported receiving death threats since the videos were publicized.
Dillon, however, argued that these threats, including the recent bomb threat, could actually be from rogue leftists.
"Last night, police responded to a bomb threat at Boston Children's Hospital. Thankfully, the anonymous caller was bluffing—no bomb was found. This was good news to everyone except the lunatic Leftists who can't wait for something violent to happen so they can blame us for it," Dillon tweeted. "And I mean it when I say they can't wait. I'm willing to bet this bomb threat was called in not by someone who opposes ‘gender-affirming care’ for minors, but by someone who hates Libs of TikTok and wants to see Chaya permanently banned for inciting violence."
"I believe this for several reasons. To begin with, we're the ones protecting children. Our opposition to these surgical and chemical procedures is rooted not in hatred for the trans community, but in genuine concern for the well-being of the kids irreversibly damaged by them," Dillon continued.
In addition, he offered efforts to help investigate the threat himself to prove Libs of TikTok’s distance from the bomb.
"Our followers share that concern. It'd make no sense whatsoever to threaten a children's hospital in the name of protecting kids. I think the better explanation is that this bomb threat was a setup," Dillon wrote. "It conveniently supports the Left's insane narrative that any critical coverage of ‘family-friendly’ drag shows or ‘gender-affirming care’ amounts to ‘stochastic terrorism’ (i.e., incitement). They also have a disgusting habit of using hoaxes to advance their narratives."
"One way or another, the anonymous coward who called in this threat needs to be exposed and face justice. To that end, I'm putting up a $20,000 cash reward to anyone who comes forward with information leading to his or her arrest. Send your tips to: tips@libsoftiktok.com," he finished.

DURANGO, Colo. (KRQE) – The FBI is now taking applications for its Teen Academy and Collegiate Academy which will be held in Durango on September 17. Teen academies give high school students the opportunity to learn about the FBI and what career paths they could take.
Each session can hold between 30 and 40 high school sophomores, juniors, or seniors. The event will be held at Fort Lewis College and the deadline to apply is September 8.
The Collegiate Academy is similar to the teen academy but geared to college students of any major. Sign up for that program is through Fort Lewis College. | https://www.krqe.com/news/fbi-accepting-applications-for-teen-collegiate-academies-in-durango/ | 2022-09-01T03:55:34Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/fbi-accepting-applications-for-teen-collegiate-academies-in-durango/ | true |
DETROIT (AP) — General Motors said Wednesday that a new electric vehicle battery plant built in Ohio has started producing cells, which could help customers get federal tax credits.
The joint-venture plant near Warren, Ohio, is focused on training as it prepares to ramp up manufacturing. A spokeswoman for the venture said it is producing cells but they are not yet being shipped. They’ll go into vehicles with GM’s Ultium batteries, which currently include Hummer EVs, Chevrolet Silverado EV pickups and the Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV.
Eventually, though, the plant should help GM’s EVs meet requirements to qualify for a $7,500-per-vehicle federal tax credit.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act recently signed into law, electric vehicles and their batteries must be manufactured in North America to get the credit. Battery minerals must be mined or recycled on the continent as well, or half the tax credit would be lost. And the batteries can’t have any components from China, another difficult hurdle.
The requirements are designed to build a North American supply chain for EVs so the country isn’t reliant on China and other overseas countries.
GM says it’s working to meet the requirements. The Ohio plant built with battery maker LG Energy Solution is a step toward getting the credits, which are key to boosting electric vehicle sales. No automaker wants to put EVs on the market that cost $7,500 more than the competition.
The $2.3 billion, 2.8-million-square-foot battery plant now employs 800 people, and eventually it will have 1,300. The factory is near Lordstown, Ohio, where GM closed a huge small-car assembly plant.
GM has a goal of making only electric passenger vehicles by 2035, and CEO Mary Barra has pledged to unseat Tesla as the top seller of EVs by the middle of this decade. | https://cw33.com/technology/ap-technology/ap-gm-venture-starts-building-battery-cells-at-new-ohio-factory/ | 2022-09-01T03:56:35Z | https://cw33.com/technology/ap-technology/ap-gm-venture-starts-building-battery-cells-at-new-ohio-factory/ | true |

Qld discrimination laws in need of reform
Queensland should introduce a new anti-discrimination act to come into force no later than July 2023 as part of sweeping reforms put forward by the state's Human Rights Commission.
The commission's Building Belonging report, tabled in parliament on Thursday, says the reform of existing anti-discrimination laws should aim to eliminate discrimination and sexual harassment "to the greatest extent possible".
"Creating a new Act will not only simplify the structure, language, and content of the law, but will hold symbolic significance," the report by Queensland's Human Rights Commission (QHRC) says.
"It will mark the point in time when we committed to strengthening Queensland's discrimination law and ensuring that the legislation is in step with today's society."
Gaps in the existing Act are exposing some people to ongoing discrimination which should be unlawful, the report notes.
"We also identified that some parts of the Act may be incompatible with the Human Rights Act 2019," it says.
The recommendations seek to shift the focus to preventing harassment before it happens, improve the complaints system and increase protections.
It found that most experiences of discrimination and sexual harassment are not reported.
"We heard a strong message about the barriers people face to making a complaint," the report says.
"These barriers can be compounding, and can have a disproportionate impact on people who face social and economic disadvantage."
Current anti-discrimination legislation is generally concerned with resolving complaints after discrimination occurs, Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman said on Thursday.
"The QHRC reforms would create legal obligations on individuals and organisations to actively take reasonable and proportionate steps to eliminate sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and other discriminatory conduct as far as possible."
Victims of domestic and family violence should be better protected from discrimination, such as when applying for a rental property, the report says.
Potential reforms also aim to ensure LGBTIQ+ students and staff feel safe in religious schools, while balancing protecting religious freedoms.
"The actions of Citipointe Christian College at the start of this year highlighted the importance of having specific protections for LGBTIQ+ students and staff at religious schools," Ms Fentiman said.
The Brisbane school made national headlines this year over the contracts, which said it would only enrol students on the basis of the gender that corresponds to their biological sex.
It also said homosexuality is "sinful", like bestiality, incest and pedophilia.
But Christian Schools Australia says the right of Queensland parents to choose a school that reflects their beliefs "could be trashed" by the reforms.
"Parents across Queensland looking for a faith-based education have every right to be very concerned by these recommendations," Mark Spencer, the Director of Public Policy says.
The Queensland government is now considering the report. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11167549/Qld-discrimination-laws-need-reform.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-01T03:59:09Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11167549/Qld-discrimination-laws-need-reform.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Nick Daicos, Howe fit for Pies' AFL final
AFL wunderkind Nick Daicos has shrugged off back tightness concerns to prove his fitness for Collingwood's qualifying final against Geelong.
Rising Star winner Daicos and defender Jeremy Howe both returned to main training on Thursday after missing Tuesday's main session.
Daicos, 19, still had a relatively light outing, including leaving the track early, after tweaking his back in a weekend weights session.
Coach Craig McRae said both Daicos and Howe, along with returning vice-captain Taylor Adams, were ready for Saturday's blockbuster at the MCG.
"Nick's good to go. We've rested him the last couple of days and looked after him and he trained really well today," he told reporters.
"He did enough to tick a box to say he's going to be fit to go.
"(The injury is) nothing major. He just did a few too many arm curls and got a little bit sore in the back as a young fella does, but nothing untoward, so he's good to go.
"If you watch him train, you get excited for what he does. I know Winx didn't race in the mid-week meetings, so we'll save him for the weekends."
McRae said the back injury scare was a good reminder for the eager teen to hold himself back.
He hailed tall Nathan Kreuger, who has thrown himself back into selection contention after overcoming a seemingly season-ending shoulder injury to make a "rusty" return via the VFL on the weekend.
Meanwhile McRae stressed the Magpies needed dynamo Jordan De Goey "at his best" on the big stage.
"I said to our coaching staff when we first started our preparation last week for this game, 'we've got to find five per cent somewhere,'" he said.
"Jordy's a five per cent type of player.
"He can give us something if he brings his best, and we'll be looking to put him in positions where he can."
Thursday's press conference came exactly a year on from McRae's appointment.
He has overseen a brilliant turnaround from 17th to fourth, an achievement he said was set up by having 80 per cent of his squad complete a full pre-season.
"I've grown enormously in that time, as this playing group has too," he said.
"In our wildest dreams this (finals) is something we wouldn't have forecast.
"But belief comes through action and that's what I've presented to the guys. We're in good shape because of a number of things.
"... I never thought I would be in this position, no doubt." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11167597/Nick-Daicos-Howe-fit-Pies-AFL-final.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-01T03:59:41Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11167597/Nick-Daicos-Howe-fit-Pies-AFL-final.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Benteke makes MLS debut for DC in 2-1 win over New York City
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) - Christian Benteke made his Major League Soccer debut, entering in the 73rd minute of DC. United's 2-1 win over New York City on Wednesday night.
The 31-year-old Belgian forward joined D.C. from Crystal Palace on Aug. 5 but his debut was delayed until he obtained a U.S. work visa. He traveled from London on Tuesday.
Benteke had been with Palace since 2016 after stints at Aston Villa (2012-15) and Liverpool (2015-16). He has scored 18 goals in 45 international appearances.
Ola Kamara scored in the 24th minute and Steve Birnbaum in the 57th for D.C. (7-17-4).
Héber tied the score in the 27th for New York (13-9-6).
The match, originally scheduled for April 9 at the Mets' Citi Field, was moved in mid-March to the revised August date and Red Bull Arena, home of NYC rival New York Red Bulls.
Both teams play again on Sunday, with United hosting the Colorado Rapids while NYC visits the New England Revolution.

White Sox end 5-game skid behind Lynn, beat Royals 4-2
CHICAGO (AP) - Lance Lynn pitched four-hit ball through seven innings, Elvis Andrus hit a tiebreaking home run in the fifth and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 Wednesday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Lynn (4-5), who was reinstated from the bereavement list before the game, didn´t walk a batter and struck out eight for the fifth time this season. The Royals had scored 24 runs in their previous two games.
Chicago (64-66) won for the first time under bench coach Miguel Cairo, who served his second game as acting manager while Tony La Russa is on indefinite leave while he undergoes tests performed by his personal doctors in Arizona to address an unspecified health issue.
The Royals (53-78) lost for the third time in five games. Rookie Bobby Witt hit his 19th home run off Lynn in the fourth, a shot to center that traveled an estimated 441 feet.
Witt´s homer was the 58th hit by a Royals rookie this season, extending the franchise record of 56 set in their inaugural season.
The Royals didn´t score again until two out in the ninth on a triple by Michael A. Taylor and a single by Michael Massey. Chciago's Liam Hendriks struck out Hunter Dozier to earn his 29th save.

Lynn retired the first 10 batters before Witt´s homer, and he immediately loaded the bases before coaxing Dozier to ground into an inning-ending double play.
That turned out to be the break the Sox needed, as AJ Pollock led off the bottom of the fourth by poking a low, outside pitch over the right field fence to tie the game.
Lynn is 2-0 with a 1.82 ERA in his last four starts.
Royals left-hander Kris Bubic (2-10) threw 26 pitches in the first and loaded the bases before getting Pollock to pop to first and Yasmani Grandal to line out to right. Grandal returned from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte and was reinstated from the 10-day injured list before the game.
Bubic walked three of the first seven batters he faced, but was undone by the homers. Andrus hit his home run two pitches after missing a pitch on a hit-and-run play that resulted in Romy Gonzalez getting thrown out at second.
Bubic has allowed four homers in his last two starts after pitching 24 consecutive innings without allowing a homer. He is 0-4 lifetime against the Sox, despite posting a 2.76 ERA in nine games.
The Sox added two insurance runs in the seventh on a grounder by Andrus and a two-out single by Jose Abreu.
Andrus became the 13th Sox player to bat leadoff, tying a franchise record set in 1976.
TRAINER´S ROOM
Royals: C Salvador Perez (back tightness) was scratched from the lineup and is listed as day to day.
White Sox: CF Luis Robert (left wrist soreness) missed his fifth consecutive start and remains day to day, Cairo said. Robert entered in the ninth as a defensive replacement.
TRANSACTIONS

China Eastern sees smaller-than-expected C919 delivery this year
Sept 1 (Reuters) - China Eastern Airlines Corp Ltd said it expects to receive fewer C919 narrowbody planes this year than previously forecast, as it awaits certification of the local rival to the Boeing Co 737 MAX and Airbus SE A320neo.
The airline said it expects to receive only one C919, manufactured by state-owned planemaker COMAC, down from the three previously forecast.
China Eastern has placed firm orders for five of the planes, and the other four deliveries are now expected in 2023, according to half-year results released this week that provided the first update to its fleet plans since its annual report released in April.
China Eastern also placed an order with Airbus for 100 of its A320neo family planes in July for delivery from 2023 to 2027, with the bulk expected from 2024.
Daiwa analyst Kevin Lau, citing a conference call with China Eastern management on Wednesday, told clients in a note that the airline was not concerned by production issues at Airbus that have delayed deliveries to airlines and lessors in recent months because it believed its large order would give it priority.
"For the C919, China Eastern will be the first global airline to put it in commercial operation," he said. "However, management added that new orders of the C919 would be subject to Airbus' capacity ramp-up."
China Eastern did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
In terms of Airbus deliveries, China Eastern's latest forecast would see it take 19 A320neo family planes this year, 16 in 2023 and 28 in 2024. That compares with its April forecast for 22 this year, 13 in 2023 and none in 2024.
China's aviation regulator said last month it was seeking industry feedback on special conditions for the C919, in a sign that certification is close after years of delays.
Air China Ltd and China Southern Airlines Co Ltd and many Chinese aircraft lessors have also placed orders for the C919, but none have issued a firm forecast for delivery dates.

Serena wins again at US Open, beating No. 2 seed Kontaveit
Serena Williams can call it "evolving" or "retiring" or whatever she wants. And she can be coy about whether or not this U.S. Open will actually mark the end of her playing days. Those 23 Grand Slam titles earned that right.
If she keeps playing like this, who knows how long this farewell will last?
No matter what happens once her trip to Flushing Meadows is over, here is what is important to know after Wednesday night: The 40-year-old Williams is still around, she's still capable of terrific tennis, she's still winning — and, like the adoring spectators whose roars filled Arthur Ashe Stadium again — she's ready for more.
Williams eliminated No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 in the U.S. Open's second round to ensure that she will play at least one more singles match at what she's hinted will be the last tournament of her illustrious career.
"There's still a little left in me," Williams said with a smile during her on-court interview, then acknowledged during her post-match news conference: "These moments are clearly fleeting."
After beating 80th-ranked Danka Kovinic in straight sets Monday, then collecting her 23rd victory in her past 25 matches against someone ranked Nos. 1 or 2 against Kontaveit on Wednesday, the six-time champion at Flushing Meadows will play Friday for a spot in the fourth round.
Her opponent will be Ajla Tomljanovic, a 29-year-old Australian who is ranked 46th. They've never met.
Williams hit serves at up to 119 mph, stayed with Kontaveit during lengthy exchanges of big swings from the baselines and conjured up some of her trademark brilliance when it was needed most.
After pulling out a tight first set, then faltering in the second, Williams headed to the locker room for a bathroom break before the third.
Something had to give, someone had to blink.
When they resumed, it was Williams who lifted her level and emerged as the better player.
Just as she's done so many times, on so many stages, with so much at stake.
"I'm just Serena. After I lost the second set, I thought, 'Oh, my goodness, I better give my best effort because this could be it,'" Williams said, surely echoing the thoughts of every one of the people paying any attention.
"I'm super competitive. Honestly, I'm just looking at it as a bonus. I don't have anything to prove," she said, which certainly is true. "I never get to play like this — since '98, really. Literally, I've had an 'X' on my back since '99," the year she claimed her first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open at age 17.
Whatever rust accumulated when Williams missed about a year of action before returning to the tour in late June at Wimbledon appears to have vanished. She lost in the first round at the All England Club to a player ranked outside the top 100 and was 1-3 in 2022 entering the U.S. Open.
"Now it's kind of coming together," Williams said. "I mean, it had to come together today."
Williams also has doubles to play, too. She and her sister, Venus, have won 14 major championships as a team and will begin that event Thursday night.
Kontaveit, a 26-year-old from Estonia, is a powerful hitter in her own right, the sort that spread across women's tennis over the past two decades after a pair of siblings from Compton, California, changed the game.
"I was growing up watching (Williams) play," Kontaveit said. "She was dominating women's tennis for so long."
There's a big caveat attached to Kontaveit's ranking status: She has never won so much as one quarterfinal match at any Grand Slam tournament in 30 career appearances.
So maybe that's why, much like with Kovinic 48 hours earlier, Williams' opponent was introduced just by her name, and Kontaveit walked out to a smattering of applause. Williams, in contrast, got the full treatment: highlight video, a listing of her many accolades and raucous roars from folks who contributed to the highest U.S. Open attendance ever at a night session, 29,959, eclipsing the record established when she played Monday.
"It was her moment," Kontaveit said. "Of course this is totally about her and I was very aware of that."
When the players met at the net for the coin toss and pre-match photos, Kontaveit looked over at Williams with a smile. Williams glanced back straight-faced.
As strident a competitor as tennis, or any sport, has seen, as rightly self-confident in her abilities as an athlete, Williams was not about to think of this whole exercise as merely a celebration of her career.
She came to New York wanting to win, of course.
Wearing the same glittery crystal-encrusted top and diamond-accented sneakers — replete with solid gold shoelace tags and the word "Queen" on the right one, "Mama" on the left — that she sported Monday, Williams was ready for prime time.
The match began with Kontaveit grabbing the first five points, Williams the next five. And on they went, back and forth. Kontaveit's mistakes were cheered — even faults, drawing an admonishment for the crowd from chair umpire Alison Hughes about making noise between serves.
Early in the third set, Kontaveit hit a cross-court forehand that caught the outermost edge of a sideline. A video on the stadium screens showed just how close it was, confirming that the ball did, indeed, land in. That brought out boos from the stands. Williams raised her arm and wagged a finger, telling her backers not to cause a fuss.
If anything, Kontaveit received more acknowledgment from the player trying to defeat her than anyone else, as Williams would respond to great shots with a nod or a racket clap.
"They were not rooting against me. They just wanted Serena to win so bad," Kontaveit said, calling the treatment she received "fair" and "expected," as well as "something I never experienced before."
Williams broke for a 5-4 edge when Kontaveit pushed a backhand long, spurring yelling spectators to rise to their feet — and Williams' husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, jumped right in, too, waving his arms in her direction, a few rows in front of where Venus and Tiger Woods were two seats apart.
But with a chance to serve out that set, Williams briefly lost her way. A missed forehand. A backhand long. A backhand into the net as she went down on one knee. A double-fault made it 5-all.
Eventually they went to a tiebreaker, and at 3-3, a chant of "Let's go, Serena!" broke out, accompanied by rhythmic clapping. Soon, Williams was delivering a 101 mph service winner and a 91 mph ace to seal that set. Just like old times`.
To Kontaveit's credit, she did not fold, did not let the disappointment of dropping that set linger.
Instead, she raced to a 3-0 edge in the second over the next 15 minutes on the strength of 10 winners and zero unforced errors.
In the third, it was Williams who gained the upper hand, and it seemed every point she won elicited an enthusiastic response. After a swinging forehand volley winner put Williams a game from victory, she raised both arms, then clenched her left fist.
One game, and five minutes later, it was over — and her stay at the U.S. Open could proceed.
Asked whether she considers herself a title contender, Williams answered: "I can not think that far. I'm having fun and I'm enjoying it." | https://www.wgal.com/article/serena-wins-again-us-open-beating-no-2-seed-kontaveit/41048007 | 2022-09-01T04:04:06Z | https://www.wgal.com/article/serena-wins-again-us-open-beating-no-2-seed-kontaveit/41048007 | true |
Manuel Margot's big hit, big defense helps Rays edge Marlins
Manuel Margot blooped an RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 2-1 win over the host Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
Margot also saved a run in the bottom of the 10th, making a spectacular catch while crashing into the center field fence.
Tampa Bay, which leads the American League wild-card race, has won three straight games.
Miami has lost four straight and six of its past seven. Four of those defeats have come in extra innings.
Former Marlins outfielder Harold Ramirez led the Rays, going 3-for-5 with an RBI double.
Jon Berti led the Marlins, going 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a single and a stolen base. Berti, who leads the majors with 32 steals, left the game after eight innings with what the team called right hip soreness.
In addition, the Marlins scratched shortstop Miguel Rojas just prior to the game due to discomfort in his right wrist.
Marlins starter Trevor Rogers, who was returning from a back injury, pitched for the first time since July 25, earning a no-decision. Rogers allowed five hits, one walk and one run in six innings, with five strikeouts.
Rays starter Drew Rasmussen also got a no-decision. He allowed four hits, no walks and one run in six innings, striking out four.
Miami threatened in the fourth as Berti singled and stole second, but he stayed there as the next three Marlins were retired.
Tampa Bay opened the scoring in the sixth on a rally that started with Yandy Diaz's leadoff double to right-center. Then, with two outs, Ramirez pulled an RBI double down the third base line.
Miami tied the score 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth as Berti homered on a 1-2 slider. Berti's homer, his third of the season after the first two came on May 4, traveled 397 feet to left field and had a 103 mph exit velocity.
Tampa Bay threatened in the eighth as Jose Siri and Diaz singled to start the frame. However, Margot popped out on a bunt attempt, and Randy Arozarena grounded into a double play, started by Berti at third.
In the top of the 10th, Margot's single off losing pitcher Tommy Nance (0-2) plated automatic runner Yu Chang.
Miami's automatic runner, Jerar Encarnacion, reached third with one out in the bottom of the 10th. But reliever Jalen Beeks (second save) struck out Peyton Burdick and got Joey Wendle to ground out, ending the game.
The win went to Jason Adam (2-2), who pitched around two walks to keep the Marlins off the board in the ninth.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California would add wine and distilled spirits containers to its struggling recycling program, while giving beverage dealers another option to collect empty bottles and cans, under a measure advancing Wednesday. But critics say the bill would also give hundreds of millions of dollars to corporations they say don’t need the incentives.
It's “a huge opportunity” to divert hundreds of additional tons of waste from landfills, said Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting, who carried the bill in the Assembly. “This bill will be a huge leap.”
In addition, distributors could form a cooperative organization to collect the containers as an alternative to the current law that requires stores to take back the empties, under the proposal by Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins.
People are also reading…
Fewer people have been able to claim their deposit refunds in recent years as many neighborhood recycling centers closed. The advocacy group Consumer Watchdog has said many grocery stores have been refusing to take back empties in-store as required.
The bill doesn’t spell out how the cooperative would work, but would require distributors to submit their plan to state regulators for approval. It would also increase the penalty for violating the law from the current $1,000 to $5,000 per day and for intentional violations from $5,000 to $10,000 per day.
California consumers pay an nickel each time they buy a 12-ounce (355 milliliters) bottle or can, and a dime for containers over 24 ounces (709 milliliters).
They're supposed to get that money back by returning the bottles and cans, an incentive so the containers don't go into landfills but can be recycled into new products.
The proposal would include a 25-cent deposit and refund for wine and distilled spirits sold in a box, bag or pouch.
Hawaii, Iowa, Maine and Vermont already have deposit programs including those containers, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Adding wine and spirits would bring nearly $18 million more annually to the state's recycling fund starting in 2024, along with annual costs topping $6 million, projects the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, generally known as CalRecycle.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration has proposed grants for automated recycling machines, also known as reverse vending machines, at high schools, colleges and retailers, and state-funded mobile recycling programs in rural areas and other places with few recycling options. It also has proposed temporarily doubling the refunds to encourage recycling and give back a portion of nearly $600 million in unclaimed deposits, but that double refund is not in the current proposal.
Consumer Watchdog, Container Recycling Institute and The Story of Stuff Project objected that Atkins' proposal contains too much pork for corporations, costing nearly $400 million over the next five years for market development and quality incentives that the groups argue aren't needed.
Of that, $300 million would go to glass container makers including E&J Gallo Winery's Gallo Glass Company, the nation's largest glass container plant, they said.
Consumers' deposits “shouldn’t underwrite enormously profitable companies such as Gallo,” Liza Tucker of Consumer Watchdog said in a statement. “These grants do not help existing redemption centers that are dying on the vine, they only help manufacturers and the biggest recyclers.”
The recycling institute withdrew its support, saying the grants would put “a strain on the ability of the program to operate with financial sustainability.”
Consumer Watchdog backed the distributors' cooperative portion of the bill, which is similar to previous legislative proposals. That option “could work to create better access if the rules are drafted correctly and enforced,” the group said.
But the measure cleared the Assembly on a 54-0 vote without spoken opposition. It was heading to the Senate for a final vote before going to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“This is an issue done what I call the right way” with intensive negotiations over several years, said Democratic Assemblyman Adam Gray. “We’ve come to a solution ... good for the industry, good for the state of California.”
Without addressing the grants, Atkins said her bill would “reduce consumer confusion” by adding wine and spirits containers, while potentially more than doubling the recycling of those containers from the current 30%. She said her bill also gives dealers “a new path to compliance” with the state's recycling law.
A second bill heading to Newsom is designed to to help reduce recycling fraud by barring cash payments from processors to recyclers. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/california-may-add-wine-liquor-bottles-to-recycling-program/article_ef181536-4671-527d-ba40-feec0d030075.html | 2022-09-01T04:07:41Z | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/california-may-add-wine-liquor-bottles-to-recycling-program/article_ef181536-4671-527d-ba40-feec0d030075.html | true |
ANDOVER, Kan (KSNW) – 2024. That’s when the Andover YMCA is expected to be operational again after a tornado ravaged the city in April.
Morgan Hamlin was inside the Andover YMCA in April 2022 as cars flew into the building, and halls by the entrance were destroyed. He said it was his favorite YMCA location and can’t wait to come back.
Hamlin said moments after a lifeguard got people out of the pool and into the locker room that it was a direct hit. People inside the Andover YMCA said the tornado was coming right at them.
“I kinda kneeled down plugged my ears because I knew it was going to be super loud and I just did a silent prayer, and I knew it wasn’t my time to go so thankful for that,” said Hamlin.
The YMCA was devastated by the tornado.
“There were people right there at the front door where all those cars got flung through like 60 secs before all the cars were flung through there so that is how fast they were working to make sure everyone got to where they needed to be in time safely,” said Hamlin.
“To see it in life with 9 cars piled up in the entry way – it was a shocker to go through that for sure,” said Ronn McMahon, the CEO and president of the Greater Wichita YMCA.
McMahon said the last few months the team has been working out insurance, figuring out what parts of the building can be remodeled and what has be rebuilt, and designing a newer and better Andover Y.
“It’s going to be brand new all inside. Everything is going to be brand new. It is going to be state of the art like always. All new equipment, all new things, we have some – we are going to enhance our gymnastics area the climbing wall and that area is going to have a new look and feel,” said McMahon.
Hamlin said he looks forward to stepping back into the Andover Y.
“I was disappointed because right when it hit the waterparks were about to open and I was ready to go,” said Hamlin.
McMahon said they hope to have the new and improved waterpark open by next summer and the entire facility open by spring of 2024. | https://www.ksn.com/news/andover-ymca-announces-plan-to-rebuild-following-tornado/ | 2022-09-01T04:08:55Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/andover-ymca-announces-plan-to-rebuild-following-tornado/ | true |
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled Wednesday honoring eight-time Grammy-nominated singer songwriter Avril Lavigne in connection with the 20th anniversary of the release of her first album, "Let Go.''
Lavigne shared with the crowd gathered for the ceremony in front of Amoeba Music a blown-up photo of herself visiting the Walk of Fame when she was 16-years-old, "right about when I dropped out of high school.'' She then donned the same hoodie she was wearing when the photo was taken, proclaiming, "It fits!''
"So I can remember seeing these legendary names and I never could have imagined that mine would be here,'' she said. "This is so crazy. I'm so grateful. This is probably one of the coolest days of my life.''
She thanked her family and friends for allowing and helping her to chase her dreams.
And today, I love making music more than ever,'' she said. "I feel so inspired, and I hope that the next 16-year-old from their small town who comes to Hollywood one day full of hopes and dreams sees this star and thinks to themselves, 'Oh my God, my name could be there one day too.' Because it can. Follow your dreams. Live your passion. Express yourself. Be real. Work hard. Keep your head up. Believe in yourself.''
Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who was among Lavigne's collaborators on her seventh and latest studio album, "Love Sux,'' released Feb. 25, was among those joining her at the ceremony. Kelly will be Lavigne's co-headliner on the U.S. portion of her 47-stop "Love Sux'' tour, Sept. 23 at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware, and Sept. 24 and Oct. 22 in Las Vegas.
The actual 20th anniversary of "Let Go's'' release was June 4, two days after Lavigne completed the Canadian leg of her tour in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The tour is set to resume Monday in Lima, Peru.
Entertainment News
The star is the 2,731st since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the first 1,558 stars.
Born Sept. 27, 1984, in Belleville, Ontario, between Ottawa and Toronto, Lavigne's parents recognized her vocal abilities when she was 2 years old and sang "Jesus Loves Me'' on the way home from church. When she was 5-years-old, the family moved to Napanee, Ontario, where she performed in productions of "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown'' and "Godspell'' at the Lennox Community Theatre.
Lavigne signed a contract with Arista Records when she was 16 years old, dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles to concentrate on her recording career. In a 2019 appearance at the Grammy Museum, Lavigne said the LA music industry didn't quite get her at first.
"The music was too soft and fluffy for me,'' said Lavigne, who would become known as the punk princess. "I just wanted to hear guitars, even though I was only 16. The label saw me as a pop star."
"Let Go'' was credited as the biggest pop debut of 2002, selling more than 16 million copies worldwide and being certified seven times platinum in the United States. "Let Go'' made Lavigne the youngest female solo artist to have a No. 1 album in the United Kingdom. She was 17 when it was released.
"Let Go'' received a Grammy nomination for best pop vocal album. Two of its songs also received nominations -- "Complicated'' for song of the year and best female pop vocal performance and "Sk8er Boi'' for best female rock vocal performance.
Lavigne was also nominated for best new artist, losing to Norah Jones.
Lavigne received three Grammy nominations in 2003 -- song of the year and best female pop vocal performance for "I'm With You'' and best female rock vocal performance for "Losing Grip.''
Lavigne's second album, "Under My Skin,'' released in 2004, was certified as triple platinum and her third, 2007's "The Best Damn Thing'' was certified as double platinum. Her fourth and fifth albums, "Goodbye Lullaby'' (2011) and "Avril Lavigne'' (2013) were both gold selling. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/hollywood-walk-of-fame-star-for-avril-lavigne-unveiled/3350913/ | 2022-09-01T04:12:09Z | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/hollywood-walk-of-fame-star-for-avril-lavigne-unveiled/3350913/ | true |
Atlantic hurricane season oddly quiet despite forecasts
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - It’s been quiet — too quiet — this Atlantic hurricane season, meteorologists and residents of storm-prone areas whisper almost as if not to tempt fate.
A record-tying inactive August is drawing to a close and no storms have formed, even though it is peak hurricane season and all experts’ pre-season forecasts warned of an above normal season. Nearly all the factors that meteorologists look for in a busy season are there.
Warm ocean water for fuel? Check.
Not a lot of wind shear that decapitates storms? Check.
La Nina, the natural cooling of the central Pacific that changes weather patterns worldwide and increases Atlantic storm activity? Check.
Yet zero storms formed. Surprised experts point to unusual persistent dry air and a few other factors. But each time they and computer simulations think something is brewing, nothing comes of it.
“It has been surprisingly and freakishly quiet in the Atlantic,” University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy said, pointing out that weak Tropical Storm Colin fizzled out on July 2 and there’s been nothing since.
It’ll be the first time since 1941 that the Atlantic has gone from July 3 to the end of August with no named storm, Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach said. Since 1950, only 1997 and 1961 had no named storms in August and 1961 then went hyperactive in September, including deadly Carla, he said.
In Lake Charles, Louisiana, one of the more weather-battered cities in the past decade, residents have noticed how quiet the hurricane season is so far and it’s almost “testing fate” to bring it up, Mayor Nic Hunter said. From August 2020 to August 2021, the city was hammered by two hurricanes — Laura and Delta — only six weeks apart, a deep freeze and spring flooding. Residents still have blue tarps on their roofs.
“I think there’s a lot of knocking on wood. There’s a lot of prayers,” Hunter said. “Until the season is over, I don’t think anybody’s going to have any sighs of relief.”
Certainly not 74-year-old Shirley Verdin, who lives about 200 miles (320 kilometers) away in Bayou Point-Au-Chien, where Hurricane Ida ripped through on Aug. 29 last year. She now lives in a Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer next to her gutted home that will be demolished down to the pilings this weekend so it can be rebuilt.
There are wisps of potential storm systems swirling in the Atlantic that meteorologists are following and so is Verdin. Closely.
“I know there’s something out there right now,” she said.
The National Hurricane Center is watching three thunderstorm systems in the Atlantic and gives them all at least a 50% chance of becoming a named tropical storm, with one of them a likely sounding 80%. But Colorado State’s Klotzbach has seen this before this year and isn’t counting on them.
Just late last week, the computer forecast models predicted three maybe four storms forming, including one becoming a major hurricane with winds of more than 110 mph (177 km/h), Klotzbach said.
Then nothing.
For the past month and a half, thunderstorms that could be seeds of hurricanes power off Africa looking strong enough “but then they encounter a lot of dry air that’s just sitting over the Atlantic,” University of Albany atmospheric scientist Kristen Corbosiero said. “The dry air has really been the main thing that’s been stopping storms from really getting going.”
Relative humidity is about 15% below normal and there’s been Saharan dust in there making it drier, McNoldy and Klotzbach said.
The dry air does a couple things, Corbosiero said. Those thunderstorms become more potent and get their energy as warm moist air rises off the ocean. The ocean is warm enough, but the dry air causes that water to evaporate, cool and go down, not up, she said.
That dry air also helps create cross winds about 2 miles up (3 to 4 kilometers) “that can really do damage to a storm trying to form,” Corbosiero said.
Matthew Rosencrans, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s lead hurricane outlook forecaster, said he sees signs that the dry air is ending and normal moisture will be returning, which could mean more storms. Rosencrans also says crosswinds at other heights, especially in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico also were a factor in dampening storm activity until now.
Other factors include a patch of sinking air over the Atlantic, a poorly located high pressure system also connected to the European heat wave and dust, the scientists said.
It’s been weird in the tropics, too, but in a different way, Klotzbach said. Before this year, the north Indian Ocean has had only one named storm in August; this year there are two, he said. And in the Pacific, Supertyphoon Hinnamnor is not only the most powerful storm on Earth this year, but it’s moving southwest when these type storms usually move west to east, Klotzbach said.
“There’s some odd stuff going on,” Klotzbach said.
But in the Atlantic nothing’s really going on and victims of past years’ storms don’t want to jinx it.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful?” Louisiana resident Thomas Halko asked about whether the so-far quiet hurricane season will continue. Halko lives in southeastern Louisiana’s Jefferson Parish, in an area hammered by Hurricane Ida last year. A house on his property shifted clear off its foundation and had to be demolished.
“We made it through the week and it looks like we’re in relatively good shape for the next five days or so,” he said of the upcoming weather report.
But it’s hard to appreciate the quiet when he feels a “nervous anticipation of doom” thinking about the ongoing hurricane season.
“There is this foreboding that really won’t go away,” he said.
Hurricane season peaks around Sept. 10 and stretches through Nov. 30.
“It is important to remember the lessons of Hurricane Andrew, which devastated South Florida and Louisiana in an otherwise quiet year,” National Hurricane Center acting Director Jamie Rhome said in an email. “It only takes one landfalling hurricane to make it a bad season for you, and we still have many months to go in the hurricane season.”

NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of LifeStance Health Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFST) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and related prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with LifeStance Health's June 2021 initial public offering (the "IPO"), of the important October 11, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased LifeStance Health securities pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the LifeStance Health class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8073 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 11, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the IPO Registration Statement featured false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the number of virtual visits clients were undertaking utilizing LifeStance Health was decreasing as the COVID-19 lockdowns were being lifted, thereby flatlining LifeStance Health's out-patient/virtual revenue growth; (2) the percentage of in-person visits clients were undertaking utilizing LifeStance Health was increasing as the COVID-19 lockdowns were being lifted, thereby causing LifeStance Health's operating expenses to increase substantially; (3) LifeStance Health had lost a large number of physicians due to burn-out and, as a result, its physician retention rate had fallen significantly below the 87% highlighted in the IPO's registration statement and LifeStance Health had been expending additional costs to onboard new physicians who were less productive than the outgoing physicians they were replacing; and (4) as a result, LifeStance Health's business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as the IPO's registration statement represented. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the LifeStance Health class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8073 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

DEMAK REGENCY, Indonesia (AP) — The rice fields are washed away. Coconut trees and chili plants, flooded with salt water, are all dead. The farmers’ fish ponds fail, the water getting so high that the fish swim over the nets. And trash carried by the tides float in and out of homes with doors that no longer can be shut.
On the northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia, villages are hit hard as sea levels rise, one of many effects of climate change. Many homes have been “raised” with cement or dirt several times over in an effort by occupants to keep dry. Others can only be accessed when the tide is low, trapping people inside for hours at a time.
Many villagers have fled the area, becoming climate migrants seeking new lives in places that are drier and higher above sea level. But others haven't left their flooded homes — some by choice, but many because they lack the money to move.
The Associated Press recently interviewed and photographed people who have stayed in the villages of Mondoliko and Timbulsloko, doing the best they can to live amid constant flooding. Here are the stories of 10 families.
___
Zuriah, 50 - Mondoliko
Zuriah, who like many Indonesians uses only one name, stands in front of her flooded home. The only remnants of the land she once owned are the dirt-filled flower pots that sit on a wooden platform above the water in front of her home.
Without the means to move, Zuriah continues to live in the house even as nearly all of her neighbors leave. When The AP first visited the village in November of last year, 11 homes were still occupied. By July 2022 that number dwindled to five, including Zuriah.
Zuriah says she's on a list to receive aid from the government, but nothing has happened so far. She's been told to be patient.
Living in the home has meant learning to adapt. Inside, she points to the electrical socket that's been moved up several times on the wall to decrease the risk of electrocution when there's high tides. The wall bears water marks that show how high the water gets, sometimes less than a foot below the latest electric socket position.
Zuriah's daughter now lives with relatives outside the village so it's easier for her to attend school. She says her daughter worries about her, but that she tells her that she must get an education so she can chase her dreams.
___
Dwi Ulfani, 18 - Timbulsloko
When talking about whether she wants to move away from her flooded village, Dwi Ulfani begins to cry.
Ulfani and her family have been living in the flooded family home as long as she can remember. Outside the house, the yard where she used to play with her friends is now filled with water about 8 inches high. The home's concrete terrace is occupied by swimming guppies. Inside the home a snake slides out of the flooded kitchen, into the sea.
While Ulfani is studying airport management, her father and mother are planning to move. They would have preferred to have already left, but say that they don't have the money right now.
When asking Ulfani what she wants to do after school — stay in the village or move elsewhere? — she cries, then responds in a whisper, “Move.”
___
Sri Wahyuni, 28, Jaka Sadewa, 26, and Bima, 3 - Timbulsloko
Sri Wahyuni sits in the raised wooden doorframe, watching as fellow villagers occasionally pass by on the raised wooden platform above the water. Her terrace, already elevated by layers of concrete, is under about four inches of water.
Wahyuni and her husband Jaka Sadewa moved to the village after they got married in 2018. She says that when they moved here the water wasn't like this; You could still ride motorcycles along the main road through the village, and the water level always went back down to normal.
But as time went by, Wahyuni noticed that the water often did not recede, resulting in more flooded days for their home. They decided to do what they could to elevate their home above the water — adding layers of concrete at first, eventually building a permanent wooden level above the water. Despite this, the water still comes into the house occasionally. Still, if they hadn’t raised the house, they’d be neck-deep in water, says Wayuni.
Their 3-year-old son Bima sits in Sadewa's lap. While Wahyuni, who grew up in the village, remembers playing in rice fields, watching adults harvest corn and seeing snakes glide through the grass, her son Bima won't have the same experiences in the village. She says he will have to adjust, but she also hopes he has the opportunity to live elsewhere by the time he he grows up.
“I’m worried that every year the water will get higher. But we don’t have any resources,” she says. "If we had resources, we would move out.”
___
Kumaison, 60 - Timbulsloko
Kumaison remembers the time she cried when a bad flood washed away the 400,000 Indonesian rupiah (US$27) she had been saving. Other items, like clothes and furniture, could be cleaned and repaired. But the money was gone forever.
Growing up in the village as a young girl, Kumaison says she remembers her neighbors' rice fields and shrimp ponds as a thriving business.
But now, “Everything is gone, can’t harvest shrimp or fish. It’s changed everyone’s livelihoods," she says.
Kumaison says her home has been raised with concrete and dirt three times now, each time being followed by even higher flooding. In the flooded front yard, villagers have helped her build nets that help catch trash, preventing it from floating into her home. She has trouble sleeping at night, worried that the floods will get even higher in the middle of the night.
Kumaison's son lives in a village close by and has offered that she move in with him. But despite her worries, Kumaison says she doesn't want to leave, as she enjoys the company of friends and the community that she's known for decades.
___
Munadiroh, 46 - Mondoliko
Water-damaged books lay drying on the elevated wooden terrace of Munadiroh's home, while a floating white tub used to transport items in the water is tethered nearby. With no land left in the village, two chickens rustle in a tree nearby, causing the only audible noise in the entire village.
The village has gotten quiet since nearly every family left due to constant flooding. Even the local mosque, where Munadroh's husband served as a cleric, has stopped the trademark calls to prayer that would usually play five times a day.
With no other home or financial resources to move, Munadiroh and her family stay in the village. Her child, grade-school age, makes the long journey to school by wading through the water and riding in a boat several times a week. Sometimes the home still floods, and Munadiroh says she keeps working to dry as many things as she can in the sunlight each day.
___
Sudarto, 63 and Turiah, 34 - Timbulsloko
Sudarto lays on the bed in his flooded home, stepping into water to walk out on to the terrace. On the wall are water lines, some up to 30 centimeters (1 foot) that show how high the floods have gotten in his already-elevated home.
Turiah, his adult daughter, lives in the home with him. Born with a physical disability that prevents her from walking, she spends her days sitting in the home's front window on an elevated wooden platform.
Like many homes in the village, the windows are partially immersed in the sea water that is a permanent fixture inside. In some areas, barnacles and mold rings cling to the walls. Personal items, such as a refrigerator, clothes and an old clock, are kept on wooden platforms elevated above the water from the rising sea level.
___
Mar'iah, 70 - Timbulsloko
Mar'iah sits in a chair at the end of the village's elevated walkway, her flooded wooden home not far behind her. A widower, Mar'iah lives alone with no one to help care for her daily needs.
With most trees dead from the sea's saltwater, there's no shady place she can sit outside her home unless she's willing to wade through flooded water.
In a soft voice, Mar'iah explains that she sits in the chair every day waiting until her house is dry enough to enter again. Unlike neighboring villages, there's no dirt left in the village that could be used to help elevate the home's floor. Wooden platforms used to previously elevate the house have already flooded and remain underwater.
Mar'iah's remaining neighbors say they have heard that a nearby village has received government aid, but help has not come to Timbulsloko.
___
Suratmi and Ngatiroh, - Timbulsloko
Ngatiroh says that after her mother Suratmi's home collapsed due to flooding, she moved her into the windowless, dirt-floor home that they now share. Damp, moldy air hangs in the room as Ngatiroh walks through it while her mother lays on a bed in the living room.
Ngatiroh's home has not been spared from the floods either though, she says. They've used layers of dirt to try and raise the floor high enough to keep dry the mattress that Suratmi lays on throughout the day. The home's kitchen has permanent standing water, while chickens use the back room as their grazing ground since the backyard disappeared to floods long ago.
Ngatiroh says that she wants to move to a new, drier home, but the family lacks the financial resources. Instead, she says, she will just keep adding layers of dirt to rise their home above the rising water, trying to keep her aging mother safe.
___
Wahidah, 55 - Timbulsloko
Sitting on the porch of house she was born in, Wahidah and her friends chat as they avoid the heat of the sun.
She recalls how when she was little she would see buffalo roam through the village's fields where rice, corn and chilis would grow. Some neighbors kept fish ponds filled with catfish they could sell at the market or eat themselves.
“Everything we needed was here,” she says.
She remembers how the water began to rise. The fields and trees all died from the salt water. All the buffalo were sold as there began to be no land to safely keep them. Even the fish ponds failed, the water getting so high the fish could jump over the netted walls. Eventually the graveyard became flooded, with the dead being buried further away.
“It’s just like the ocean here now,” she says.
These days, a man comes on a boat during the week to sell them the things they used to be able to grow or raise for themselves. Houses have collapsed around them.
Wahidah says she knows about 40 people who have left, moving to other parts of Java that haven't permanently flooded yet.
"I think the younger generation should move. If they have money they should buy land. But I don’t have money right now, so I stay,” she says.
___
Sukarman, 73 - Timbulsloko
Crabs scuttle through the water where Sukarman's yard used to be.
Sukarman has lived in the village for most of his life, working as a handyman and staying close to his family. He's raised his house and the land around it two times, but the floods still come into the house. He says he gave up trying to raise the land again.
“We've already done it twice and it hasn't worked, so what else can we do?" he says.
He says the government has helped with donations of food and advice on where villagers might be able to move. But the government hasn't been able to stop the flooding.
Sukarman thinks younger people, such as his granddaughter Dwi Ulfani, should move away if they can. But he knows that with no money or other family homes, he's likely to spend the rest of his life living in an increasingly flooded home.
“What am I supposed to do?” he asks. “I’m old. There’s nothing I can do.”

CHICAGO — A group of undocumented individuals from Texas arrived at Union Station Wednesday night, according to Gov. Greg Abbott. The governor, citing the Biden administration and Chicago’s sanctuary city status, said that the city will now be a drop-off location.
In April, Gov. Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to charter buses to transport undocumented individuals from Texas to Washington D.C. Earlier in August, he directed that New York City be added as a second drop-off location.
According to the governor’s office, thousands of undocumented individuals have been transported to D.C. and New York City, providing “much-needed relief to Texas’ overwhelmed border communities.”
Abbott cited Chicago’s “Welcoming City Ordinance” as a reason why he selected it as the state’s third drop-off location.
Mayor Lightfoot’s office released a statement Wednesday night saying they received approximately 60 migrants and called his actions “racist practices.”
Abbott’s full statement is below.
“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans—and Americans—at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” said Governor Abbott. “To continue providing much-needed relief to our small, overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City as an additional drop-off location. Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.”
Mayor Lightfoot’s office’s statement is below.
Today, the City of Chicago received confirmation that approximately 60 migrants were traveling to Chicago by way of Texas. Chicago is a welcoming city and as such has collaborated across various departments and agencies to ensure we greeted them with dignity and respect. We understand that many are fleeing violent, traumatic, or otherwise unstable environments. We will respond with essential services while these individuals navigate the next steps of their journey and our community partners have been working diligently to provide a safety net.
As a city, we are doing everything we can to ensure these immigrants and their families can receive shelter, food, and most importantly protection. This is not new; Chicago welcomes hundreds of migrants every year to our city and provides much-needed assistance. Unfortunately, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is without any shame or humanity. But ever since he put these racist practices of expulsion in place, we have been working with our community partners to ready the city to receive these individuals.
We know that racism, discrimination, and human cruelty have played a pivotal role in how immigrants are received within our borders, and we are still working to recover from the previous presidential administration, which encouraged this behavior. This is such an important moment for Chicago as a city has been a sanctuary for thousands of newcomers. We are welcoming them and will not turn our backs on those who need our help the most.” | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/texas-politics/texas-governor-sends-first-bus-of-undocumented-individuals-to-chicago/ | 2022-09-01T04:33:45Z | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/texas-politics/texas-governor-sends-first-bus-of-undocumented-individuals-to-chicago/ | false |
Provides Direct Access to Data, Media Professionals can Work on High Resolution and High Bit Rate Media Files Over the Internet
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LucidLink, a global leader in remote collaboration software for creative teams, announced with AJA Video Systems and Telestream the fastest way to access, organize and view data in one easy workflow. LucidLink Filespaces, an award-winning SaaS-based solution, provides rapid access to data through AJA Diskover Media Edition in conjunction with Telestream GLIM and the Vantage platform. LucidLink serves as a central hub uniting what is typically two disparate systems creating seamless workflows never before feasible for media professionals.
"We are excited to be showing this powerful solution for media professionals at IBC 2022," said Rupert Watson, LucidLink's Director of Alliances and Channels, EMEA. "Pulling together the innovative technologies from AJA, Telestream, and LucidLink into one workflow brings new capabilities for creative teams. Now teams can work in tandem on the same project, giving them the power to truly collaborate and create in real-time, no matter where they are based."
One workflow from three powerful solutions
The companies have come together to build a powerful solution for media professionals: LucidLink's centralized data repository provides immediate data access combined with AJA Diskover Media Edition, which helps catalog and find the right file while customers use Telestream GLIM to review the data and Vantage for transcoding. The combination offers great speed; LucidLink allows remote workers all over the globe to share and access data with speeds that are normally only reserved for high-speed on-prem storage. AJA Diskover Media Edition on top of LucidLink allows organizations to very rapidly index extremely large file systems stored via LucidLink and gives users visibility to the data no matter where they are located, but without the security risks associated with full, potentially destructive access to the data.
Simply put, these combined technologies allow media professionals to access, organize and view data in one easy workflow.
"The media and entertainment industry is bottlenecked with unwieldy data management across production and post, while remote workflows present additional challenges for managing file locations and metadata on the cloud. AJA Diskover Media Edition removes the hurdles associated with data management, helping industry professionals work more efficiently and make more informed data decisions. Our partnership with LucidLink further simplifies navigating cloud storage, enabling remote teams to collaborate seamlessly via a streamlined workflow akin to using on-premises storage. By pairing Diskover Media Edition with LucidLink, users can move immediately from viewing media and metadata to further production of assets with tools like Telestream's Vantage package," said Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems.
LucidLink Filespaces: The future of cloud storage streaming for teams
LucidLink Filespaces provides an infinitely scalable, centralized repository of data in the cloud that can be immediately accessed from anywhere. LucidLink works on any major operating system. The client can install it on any server, laptop, or workstation and mount as a local volume. As a mount point on a server, LucidLink provides a standard directory structure and instant access to data for all these various services that have never been able to integrate seamlessly. LucidLink enables AJA's Diskover and Telestreams GLIM and Vantage servers, located in different parts of the world, to easily access data and work in concert with each other.
Telestream GLIM helps creative professionals quickly preview high-quality media files with color accuracy via any web browser – without generating a proxy file. With direct access to and the ability to launch the player in AJA Diskover Media Edition, professionals can easily view and validate files located on-premises or in cloud storage as indexed by Diskover Media Edition as associated metadata. All files are shown with SCTE-35 markers, waveform view, and audio metering to ensure compliance standards on-the-fly, for any user, in any location.
Access to Telestream's powerful Vantage platform via AJA Diskover Media Edition v2.0 gives remote workers access to centralized tools for generating proxy files or transcoding media assets for delivery. Users can now select files and send them to an on-premises or cloud-based Telestream Vantage system to create proxies or transcode the assets, regardless of user, file, or Vantage system location. Coupled with AJA Diskover Media Edition's global index, the plug-in accelerates workflows by eliminating roundtripping between applications and streamlining files.
LucidLink will be at IBC 2022 (Hall 7, Booth B06). For more information or to schedule a briefing with LucidLink at IBC 2022, please contact Clare Plaisted at clare@prcoms.com.

WA's first Indigenous art centre celebrates 35 years of supporting Kimberley artists
By Vanessa Mills and Jessica HayesA cultural and artistic success story has emerged out of the clumps of golden spinifex and stony red landscape that is the Great Sandy Desert.
Key points:
- The Warlayirti Arts Centre was the first of its kind in Western Australia
- The Balgo-based centre has celebrated its 35-year anniversary
- Four hundred artists from eight language groups contribute art to the centre for domestic and international markets
Warlayirti Arts was the first Indigenous art centre in Western Australia when it formed 35 years ago in Balgo, 260 kilometres south of Halls Creek, in the Kimberley.
The centre's sense of purpose has been reignited by an anniversary exhibition created over the past two years through expeditions deep into the traditional homelands of its 400 artists.
Many artists and families visited places they had only ever heard about in stories and songs, for the first time.
The large collection of new works was unveiled to visitors, who until recently had been locked out of Balgo, as two-and-a-half years of pandemic laws prohibited access to Aboriginal communities.
The three-day anniversary celebration, which included surrounding desert communities and art dealers from Sydney, was a milestone that artist Angie Tchooga was proud to see.
The Kukatja Djaru woman was one of Warlayirti's first artists in 1987, learning to paint in a classroom at the adult education centre.
"It's been a long time — I'm really proud of this arts centre," Ms Tchooga said.
"I do my Sturt Creek painting ... waterlilies. We used to go there as little kids and I feel happy painting my country."
Centre chairman Matthew West, a Kukatja Ngaanyatjarra man, feels he is continuing his father's cultural and artistic legacy.
In the early 1980s his father was one of a pioneering group of men who started painting their stories on wood boards — which later vanished.
"The old people have been passing on their knowledge to the younger generation. This art centre celebration is amazing," he said.
Mr West said the centre's recent bush trips, up to 1,000 kilometres to the south of Balgo, educated younger generations.
"Our people used to live together, gathering for ceremonies and passing on the knowledge, the Dreaming Tjukurrpa," he said.
"Now we have to carry ourselves."
Art with meaning
Warlayirti manager Poppy Leaver said the exhibition, Ngurra Kutjuwarra (On Country Together), was more than just vibrantly coloured works on a wall.
"It's completely part of themselves, it's part of their family, their story," Ms Leaver said.
"Everything's so interconnected and you feel that when you get out in country; people are weeping and crying and laughing.
"You've got old ladies who in the studio are crippled and shuffling around, and you get them out on country and all of a sudden they are running up sand dunes.
"It's just incredible for people's mind and spirit."
John Carty, from the South Australian Museum, has a 20-year relationship with Balgo and surrounding communities.
"You can't underestimate the power of place and the importance of place underwriting the whole art world," Professor Carty said.
"It's a great signal to every arts organisation around the country not to lose sight of why you exist and who you exist for."
Warlayirti's artworks, including glass and jewellery, are highly collectable and paintings hang in galleries worldwide.
Operating a business in such an isolated area is not without its challenges, such as intermittent telecommunications, access roads cut for months by rain, and a population challenged by poverty.
The centre, built on the site where the old men painted those boards, was at a low ebb in 2016 before a slow revitalisation began both in management and its artists.
The pandemic isolation allowed Warlayirti to reconsider its priorities to focus on regular cultural and painting expeditions.
"Aboriginal art centres are the lifeblood of cultural economies and cultural continuity and creativity in so many parts of Australia," Professor Carty said.
"As the heartbeat of this community it's providing a really creative, happy, safe, thriving workplace for the people of Balgo."
Ms Leaver said the art was a "two-way sharing" where the paintings kept country alive and passed knowledge on, while showing "whitefellas" a little of First Nations life and history.
"Painting is the only kind of culturally appropriate economic form in a lot of communities, where the vast majority of people are living off welfare," she said.
The UK-born art manager gestures to the Ngurra Kutjuwarra collection, many of which have red sold dots next to them already.
"They're just so special and beautiful and they mean incredible things – they sing," she said. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-01/was-first-aboriginal-art-centre-warlayirti-celebrates-35-years/101389900 | 2022-09-01T04:43:22Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-01/was-first-aboriginal-art-centre-warlayirti-celebrates-35-years/101389900 | true |

Ari Lennox is getting vulnerable in her new project. The 31-year-old singer is gearing up to release her highly anticipated sophomore album, Age/Sex/Location, on Sept. 9, and, according to a text shared by rapper J. Cole, fans are in for a more intimate look at the singer with the new record.
In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, Cole -- who brought Lennox on as the first female artist signed to his record label, Dreamville Records, in 2016 -- explained that he had asked Lennox "what this new album means to her," adding that her answer made hearing the music "even deeper" for him.
"I needed to know cuz I f**k with it so heavy. What I hear is the highs, lows, joys and pains of dating life in 2022. But her answer made it even deeper for me," he captioned the screenshot of their text message. "Appreciate you @arilennox. Looking forward to the rest of the world hearing it."
In the exchange, Lennox shares how Age/Sex/Location explores the lessons she learned after pouring into the wrong people and how she's reached this point of being her complete, unapologetic self.
"Transitional space. Very vulnerable codependent and validation seeking part of my life," she wrote. "I remember the countless times I was kicked out of dating apps because they didn't think I was really myself, it reminded me of those age/sex/location days where I actually wasn't being myself in those chat rooms. I spent so much time seeing the god and good in some abusive people. Neglecting my needs and self worth. Romanticizing terrible people..."
She continued, "No more tip toeing. No more docile. Providing grace and compassion to myself. Blocking those that no longer serve me or just literally not responding. Blocking the resistance to heal. Allowing accountability and maturing. Allowing growth to happen. Allowing self worth and self love and inner work to happen. Allowing therapy. Allowing dating me to happen. Doing things I like to do whenever I want."
"What's for me is for me and I'm complete on my own. This is my eat love pray journey," she concluded. "And it's my honest goodbye to searching for love. I got it right here inside of me. The end of searching for anything other than self love and family. Pouring into me and giving the greatest love to me."
Lennox shared the cover art for the upcoming album on Tuesday and dropped a new single with Summer Walker titled "Queen Space" on Wednesday.
Age/Sex/Location drops on Sept. 9.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the official launch of AMAX#1 public mining, part of the ArmoniaMetaChain project, at 08:58 (UTC+8) on August 28, 2022, users have been actively participating and the 5000APL tier mining pool reward was snapped up within 3 hours.
The data shows that after the official launch of AMAX#1 mining pool, the mining rate presented a rapid growth momentum and remained in a high position, which indicates that users' enthusiasm is running on fire and the Armonia ecology is greatly supported by their full engagement and positive prospect. Although this level of 5000APL mining pool rewards has been snapped up, there are still some Apple and other levels of AMAX to be claimed.
Mining Rate Curve
The total amount of AMAX#1 mining pool for the current period is 88,888 AMAX, distributed in mining pools of 5 tiers. The first tier pool is 100APL, where users can use the free 100APL obtained from picking apples in Farming to mine and can choose both the normal way and advertising x10 way to claim. If a user watches the video completely, then 10 times the reward (0.001 AMAX) will be given. If the video is not watched completely, then a user will be rewarded 0.0001 AMAX. The second to the fifth tier mining pools are 200APL, 500APL, 2000APL and 5000APL, and users can directly inject the APL that meets the quantity requirement into the corresponding pool to get 0.05AMAX, 0.5AMAX, 3AMAX and 10AMAX rewards respectively. The 100APL mining reward will be delayed to release if abnormal ads-watching behavior is detected. Expect this condition, all other rewards will be recorded in real-time.
This current mining campaign will not charge any handling fee. The first 10 users who inject APL into the pool will be awarded with AMAX, for example, the first one will be awarded 10AMAX, the second one will be awarded 9AMAX, and so on.
The amount of AMAX#1 mining pool is limited and don't be late! So hurry up, log in to APLink and start mining to get your earnings!

The duration, timing (including both starting and ending dates) and total contract value of customer contracts and any related agreements are estimates only.
