CLEVELAND, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Technological innovation is transforming the global material handling equipment industry. This trend and more are discussed in the new study Global Material Handling Equipment. As companies around the world confront a variety of workforce challenges and face intensifying competition, they are increasingly turning to newly developed material handling technologies. The automated guided vehicles (AGVs) segment has seen particularly impressive innovation gains in recent years, sparking increased interest:
- In March 2022, Gaussin unveiled the world's first hydrogen-power automated guided vehicle, which will be used in port applications
- JBT unveiled a groundbreaking AGV for warehouse freezer applications (an underserved market) in April 2021, and the machine can operate -10F and 110F and offers a lift capacity of 2500lb

The University of St. Thomas' Carol and Odis Peavy School of Nursing (PSON) was named one of the 10 best nursing schools in Texas by nurse.org.
HOUSTON, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Peavy School of Nursing joins an elite list of Lone Star state nursing schools, including the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M and Texas Woman's University. Nurse.org chooses the best nursing schools in Texas via a panel-reviewed selection based on several factors, including reputation, NCLEX pass rate, tuition and acceptance rate when available. Only ACEN or CCNE-accredited schools are eligible.
Texas is one of the largest employers for nurses in the nation, with an annual average wage of $79,120 in 2021, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
UST is Houston's Catholic University grounded in the liberal arts. St. Thomas is an urban campus centrally located in the Museum District near downtown, the Galleria and the Texas Medical Center. With UST's state-of-the-art Center for Science and Health Professions building and proximity to some of the nation's leading hospitals and medical organizations, nursing students have everything they need to succeed. And Houston is a great place to find a job after graduation.
PSON offers several tracks, including a traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) for post-bac students who have already earned a degree in another field. UST now accepts transfer students in the ABSN program who have earned 60+ credits with another institution. They also offer an RN to MSN for associate degree nurses who wish to bypass a BSN to achieve a Master of Science in Nursing. In addition, nurses can advance their nursing careers and increase their earning potential with its Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program.
"The Peavy School of Nursing's BSN and ABSN programs prepare students to be holistic nurses by delivering care that focuses on physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs of the populations they serve," Dr. Claudine Dufrene, Interim Executive Dean and Associate Professor of PSON, said. "Our graduates embrace that caring philosophy and are highly recruited by clinical agencies."
Students may learn on-campus, online, or accelerated, depending on the program chosen. UST's average annual tuition for a BSN is $32,484, with an NCLEX pass rate of 87.5%. Scholarships and financial aid are available, with the average award of an assistance package totaling $18,025. The PSON is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

Thirteen years after Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry left Davidson College to play for the NBA, he received his degree from his alma mater this week.
Curry was honored Wednesday in a one-man ceremony where not only did he receive his diploma, but he also had his jersey number retired and was inducted into the university's Hall of Fame, ESPN and the Associated Press reported.
In a May press release, the school announced Curry earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology in May but couldn't attend the commencement ceremony due to playing in the NBA playoffs.
“To earn this degree, you showed determination and perseverance,” school president Doug Hicks said during the ceremony, the AP reported. “It would have been so easy, so straightforward to not complete your college degree. Yet in response to that idea, you did what you did to 29 other NBA organizations — you said, ‘night, night!’”
As he stood in front of friends, family, and fans at Belk Arena, the four-time NBA champion became the first-ever Davidson athlete to have his jersey number retired, the Associated Press reported.
"This is an absolutely amazing day and an amazing moment for myself and my family," Curry said during the ceremony, ESPN reported. "The best decision I ever made was to come to Davidson College and pursue an education, join an amazing community and, most importantly, play for an amazing man who has built this program in Coach [Bob] McKillop." | https://www.wtvr.com/sports/warriors-star-steph-curry-earns-degree-from-davidson-13-years-after-entering-nba | 2022-09-01T18:45:36Z | https://www.wtvr.com/sports/warriors-star-steph-curry-earns-degree-from-davidson-13-years-after-entering-nba | true |
The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report on Thursday shifted its forecasts for five competitive House races in favor of Democrats.
The changes follow a spike in Democratic voter enthusiasm following the Supreme Court’s decision in June that overturned the landmark federal abortion rights protections in Roe v. Wade, Cook Report senior editor Dave Wasserman wrote. Democrats have outperformed expectations in every special election since the ruling.
They also also come as Republicans, some of whom predicted a potentially record “red wave” election year, have tempered expectations about the midterm elections this year.
Last week, a separate Cook Political Report analysis said Republicans still look like the favorites to win control of the House in the midterm elections. But the publication revised its forecast down from Republicans winning 15 to 30 seats to winning 10 to 20 seats.
The five House districts Cook shifted on Thursday are:
Alaska’s at-large district, from Likely R to Toss Up
The change comes after former Alaska Republican Gov. Sarah Palin lost a special election to Democrat Mary Peltola in the state’s first election using a new ranked choice voting system.
It was the first time a Democrat had been elected to the seat since 1971.
The two of them, as well as Republican Nick Begich and Libertarian Chris Bye, will be on the general election ranked-choice ballot in November for a full term in the same seat.
Arizona’s 4th District, from lean Democratic to likely Democratic.
Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton will face Republican Kelly Cooper, a Marine veteran who was endorsed by Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake.
Wasserman writes that, “Cooper, a Marine veteran who owns BKD’s Backyard sports bar and has questioned the integrity of the 2020 election, might be too far right for this left-trending, Biden +10 Tempe seat.”
Maryland’s 6th District, from lean Democratic to likely Democratic.
Democratic Rep. David Trone, founder of Total Wine & More, has pumped his campaign with $10 million after his panhandle district became less Democratic due to redistricting. He faces Republican state Del. Neil Parrott.
“Any Republican scenario for ousting Trone likely involved a Larry Hogan-esque performance in the governor’s race at the top of the ticket. But that went out the window when state Del. Dan Cox, whom Hogan has called ‘not, in my opinion, mentally stable,’ won the GOP primary,” Wasserman said.
New York’s 3rd District, from toss-up to lean Democratic.
In the open Long Island seat being vacated by Rep. Tom Suozzi (D), who unsuccessfully ran for governor, Democratic National Committee member Rob Zimmerman will face Republican George Santos.
Virginia’s 7th District, from toss-up to lean Democratic.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) will face Republican former police officer Yesli Vega for the suburban Northern Virginia seat.
Spanberger has long been considered one of the more vulnerable Democrats in the House, and this year’s redistricting process shifted her seat away from the areas where she had the strongest support.
But an audio recording reported by Axios in which Vega expresses openness to the idea that it might be harder for women to get pregnant after rape, remarks that came just as the abortion issue was heating up, were thought to be a major help to Spanberger, who also holds a financial edge. | https://who13.com/hill-politics/cook-political-report-moves-five-house-races-toward-democrats/ | 2022-09-01T18:46:18Z | https://who13.com/hill-politics/cook-political-report-moves-five-house-races-toward-democrats/ | false |
DETROIT (AP) — About 2 in 10 U.S. adults say they or someone close to them has had a personal experience with gun violence, according to a recent poll that shows Black and Hispanic adults are especially likely to have had their lives touched by it.
The poll by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 54% of Black Americans and 27% of Hispanic Americans reported that they or a close friend or family member experienced gun violence in the last five years, compared with of 13% of white Americans. Overall, 21% of U.S. adults reported a personal tie to gun violence, such as being threatened by a gun or being a victim of a shooting.
Ebony Brown, a 39-year-old accountant in Atlanta, is among those who has seen gun violence touch those close to her. Her brother was shot to death in 2002 in Jacksonville, Florida, while visiting from college.
“He was at the right place at the wrong time,” said Brown, who is Black.
An acquaintance of a friend pulled a gun during an attempted robbery at a home and shot several people, including Brown’s brother, who she said died instantly. Another person also was slain.
Brown said she doesn’t consider herself a gun lover, but she’s worried enough about becoming a victim of gun violence herself that she’s considering getting a handgun.
“I’m really getting ready to get one. I’ve been to the range,” Brown said. “My dad is a police officer and he wants me to have it.”
The survey was conducted after a stretch of mass shootings across the U.S., from a grocery store in New York, an elementary school in Texas and a Fourth of July parade in Illinois — along with a smattering of incidents of gun violence in cities across the U.S. that don’t always make national news but leave local communities on edge.
Professor Jens Ludwig, who is director of the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab, said the 1 in 5 people with a friend or family member who was a victim of violence was a “strikingly high number.”
It shows that those who experience gun violence “aren’t the only victims,” he said.
Ludwig compared the way gun violence affects entire communities to the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that the people who died or became very ill from COVID-19 weren’t the only ones affected; kids were kept home from school, businesses closed, and people couldn’t see loved ones.
The same is true with gun violence, Ludwig said. “People are changing the way they live,” he said.
For example, he said, when people who can afford to leave cities where gun violence is a big problem move out in droves, it hurts everyone still there.
He cited Detroit as one example. Gun-related homicides increased from 2016 to 2020, from a rate of 37.6 per 100,000 people to 45.4 per 100,000 people, according to FBI data collected by the pro-gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety. Black people were 2.1 times more likely to die by gun homicides than white people, according to the data.
Following a particularly violent summer weekend in Detroit that saw two dozen nonfatal shootings and seven homicides, Police Chief James White denounced the rising gun violence in the city and across the nation.
“We understand these numbers make media headlines, but to us they represent people,” White told reporters. “These represent families. This represents children. This represents husbands, wives, brothers and sisters. Our Detroit families are in pain. Neighbors near the gunfire are shaken and lives have been forever changed.”
While most Americans say they feel gun violence has increased nationwide and in their states, 59% of Black Americans and 45% of Hispanics said that gun violence is on the rise in their communities, compared with 34% of white Americans. Similarly, people living in urban areas are more likely to say gun violence is rising in their communities than those in suburban or rural areas, 51% to 39% to 27%.
That is in line with recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The data has shown a spike in gun violence since the pandemic, with gun-related homicides increasing across the country in large and small metro areas and in rural areas. The data found Black people are disproportionately impacted by gun violence and are more likely to be the victims of gun crimes or homicides.
Brittany Samuels, a 31-year-old in Detroit, says she still carries physical scars from being shot at age 14 by her uncle, who she said was bipolar and schizophrenic, and fatally shot her grandmother, one of his coworkers and himself.
She said it has also shaped the way she thinks about gun violence and gun ownership, and she feels it is too easy for guns to get into the wrong hands.
Samuels, who is Black, said gun violence in her community has made her rethink where and when to go places, like skipping Detroit’s downtown entertainment district or certain gas stations as certain times.
“You don’t know if someone is going to rob you at gunpoint or if they are going to have a shootout in the middle of the gas station,” she said. “I don’t go when it’s dark — even if it’s in the morning. And you really won’t catch me at a gas station that’s not lit up.”
Diego Saldana, 30, of Baldwin Park, California, in the Los Angeles metro area, said he found himself facing a 9mm handgun during an attempted robbery six months ago. He feels gun violence is on the rise and believes it’s likely he will be a victim of gun violence again in the next five years.
“I think it’s due to the (poor) economy — people are desperate for easy money,” said Saldana, who is Mexican. “People … are stressing about stuff and expressing it with violence. Everybody is on edge.”

INDIANAPOLIS — The City of Indianapolis has reached a settlement with the owners of four apartment complexes where residents have been facing the possibility of having their water shut off.
The terms of the settlement, filed Tuesday, require that JPC Affordable Housing and Berkley Commons LLC sell the properties — Berkley Commons, Capital Place, Covington Square and Woods at Oak Crossing — and bring in new landlords.
Once that takes place, the lawsuit will be dismissed. The settlement also mandates that residents' utilities cannot be shut off until at least December.
BACKGROUND | 'We're saddened this ever happened': WRTV Investigates asks apartment management group why bills are unpaid
But the settlement doesn't officially take effect just yet because the Indiana Attorney General's Office and utility companies haven't settled their lawsuits against the company.
Citizens Energy provided the following statement to WRTV Thursday:
"Citizens Energy Group is actively negotiating, in hopes of reaching a settlement agreement, with JPC Affordable Housing regarding their more than $1.9 million of past due utility debt that has been accumulated over the past 18 months. Our goal throughout this period has been to secure an agreement with JPC that ensures continued utility service to their four apartment properties while protecting Citizens’ customer base from the full cost of JPC’s past due utility debt. Citizens recognizes the hardship utility disconnections cause and that’s why the utility is a leader in ensuring financial assistance to customers through our bill reduction programs, grants from our Warm Heart Home Foundation and flexible payment arrangements. Citizens has kept the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission fully informed of our actions related to JPC Affordable Housing over the past 18 months."
For months, residents have been told their water may be shut off at the end of September because the management company had yet to pay $2 million in utility bills, even though water is supposed to be included in residents' rent.
The Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County recently filed an emergency complaint with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission in an effort to prevent water shutoffs at the properties. More than 1,400 housing units with 2,000 residents between the four complexes were at risk.
The complaint accused Citizens Energy of "using thousands of innocent residents as pawns in its economic dispute with the landlords"

In February this year, the city paid $850,000 to restore services for residents at Capitol Place and Berkley Commons. Indianapolis Deputy Mayor Jeff Bennett says the city wouldn't be able to step in to assist again because the remaining bill is too large.
Bennett explained that, in past instances, including one on the north side of Indianapolis called Lakeside Pointe, interactions with JPC Affordable Housing had turned out positive.

Idrissa Gana Gueye returns to Everton from Paris St Germain for undisclosed fee
Idrissa Gana Gueye is back at Everton after signing a two-year deal to return to Goodison Park from Paris St Germain for an undisclosed fee.
The 32-year-old made 108 appearances for Everton between 2016 and 2019 before moving to the French capital, where he won two league titles and four domestic cups, as well as a runners-up medal in the 2020 Champions League final.
“There is no better feeling than coming back home,” Gana told the club’s website. “I am very happy to be here at Everton again, to help and to work hard. I’ll give my soul to this team…
“For me, it’s special. I told PSG if I am going to leave it will be for one team – and that was Everton.
“It was not a difficult decision for me because I love this club. That’s why I had to come home. It’s a pleasure for me to be back and hopefully we will have a good season because we have to go and try to achieve our goals.”
#welcomebackGanapic.twitter.com/Mr9s60S3bu— Everton (@Everton) September 1, 2022
Gana was a popular player on Merseyside during his first spell, runner-up in the club’s player of the season vote in his first season and sharing the players’ player award in his last.
His energetic style in midfield should fill a void for Frank Lampard, who will also hope his familiarity with the club will allow him to settle quickly in a side still seeking their first Premier League win of the season as they go into the weekend’s Merseyside derby.
“We are delighted to add a player of Idrissa’s quality and experience to the squad,” Lampard said. “We have been eager to strengthen our midfield options and his attributes will undoubtedly benefit the squad.
“Idrissa has played at the highest level of football. Evertonians know all about his tireless work-rate and the value he brings to a team, and we are looking forward to him bringing all of that now he’s back at the club.”
The Senegal international is Everton’s seventh signing of the summer after moves for James Tarkowski, Ruben Vinagre, Conor Coady, Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil, and Neal Maupay.

Watt isn’t a fan of cut blocks, however the Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker isn’t ready to weigh in on whether they should be legal or not, even after a scare in last Sunday’s preseason finale against Detroit.
The NFL’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year narrowly avoided serious injury to his left knee when Lions tight end TJ Hockenson went low — legally — early in Pittsburgh’s 19-9 victory. Hockenson came across the field and dove into Watt’s legs on a running play. The contact created what Watt described as “discomfort” in his knee, and he was taken out of the game shortly thereafter as a precaution.
Watt, who practiced on Wednesday and should be fine for Pittsburgh’s season opener in Cincinnati on Sept. 11, said Hockenson apologized immediately after the play.
“(He said) like, ‘Sorry I had to do that,’ something like that,” Watt said. “And I just didn’t really have any words to say back to him. More frustration than anything.”
Watt called the blocks “tough to deal with” but declined to pick a side when asked if they should be allowed. The blocks have become a hot topic of sorts after the New York Giants lost rookie defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux for a month after he was injured on a similar play against Cincinnati earlier in the preseason. Watt said he was aware of Thibodeaux’s injury, but hadn’t watched a replay.
“I don’t really want to get in the weeds and either what should or shouldn’t be legal in football,” said Watt, who tied an NFL record by getting 22 1/2 sacks last season. “But like I said, I’d have to find a way to be better in that situation to protect myself.”
Watt knew the block was coming. He and Hockenson maintained eye contact as Hockenson closed in. When Hockenson went low, Watt essentially had nowhere to go.
“It obviously is being taught because it’s a legal move,” Watt said. “So I don’t really have any grudge against it. I just have to figure out how to handle it.”
Watt said he didn’t consider simply stepping out of the way in order to protect himself even if the play happened in essentially a meaningless game for a player whose roster spot has never been in doubt since being drafted in the first round in 2017.
“I’ll never shortchange the game, whether it’s a preseason or a regular-season game, and that’s why when the switch is flipped on, I don’t really care if it’s the preseason or not, you’re just playing football.”
NOTES: LB Malik Reed and OL Jesse Davis were on the practice field on Wednesday less than 24 hours after being acquired in trades. Reed will play a reserve role on the outside behind Watt and Alex Highsmith while Davis provides depth and versatility for a line that struggled at times during training camp.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — During a primary debate in May, Iowa Republican Zach Nunn and his two rivals were asked to raise their hand if they thought all abortions should be illegal. “All abortions, no exceptions,” the moderator clarified.
Nunn's left hand went up.
The image has shadowed the Iowa state senator as he seeks to unseat U.S. Rep. Cindy Axne, one of the most vulnerable House Democrats this election season. The two-term congresswoman has featured video of Nunn from the debate in TV ads she's been running since early August.
Nunn is among well more than a dozen strictly anti-abortion Republicans running in competitive House, Senate and governor's races this fall in Minnesota, Nevada, Kansas, Arizona and elsewhere who are trying to distance themselves from their past statements.
In newspaper op-eds, during interviews and on their campaign websites, Republican challengers who expressed support for banning most or all abortions — some in cases of rape, incest and to protect the life and health of the mother — are at a minimum downplaying those positions and at most backtracking at a time when abortion rights have complicated Republicans’ focus on the economy heading into the November midterm elections.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision recognizing a federal right to abortion, has prompted a backlash from abortion rights supporters and shined a light on politicians whose anti-abortion positions were only hypothetical when Roe was the law of the land.
"I think that the bait and switch will matter for those for whom abortion rights is a very important voting issue, which is an expanded group since Roe was overturned," Christine Matthews, a pollster who has worked for Republicans, said of GOP candidates trying to soften their profile on the issue. “And it may matter to a wider group if it appears that they are deceptive.”
Accusing Axne of misrepresenting his position, Nunn wrote in an op-ed published in The Des Moines Register last month that he supported exceptions for rape, incest and the life and health of the mother when he voted in 2018 for a ban on abortions after six weeks — a measure that was blocked by the courts.
Asked in an Associated Press interview why he raised his hand to the “no exceptions" question during the debate, Nunn misstated the question as “Do you support life?” instead of the actual wording, “In your mind, should all abortions be illegal in this country? Hand up if you say yes.”
“Let me be perfectly clear. I believe life begins at conception,” Nunn said in the interview. “I recognize the viability of a child. I recognize the health of the mother.”
Still, in 2017, Nunn voted for a measure requiring women seeking an abortion to wait 72 hours, which included an exception to protect the life of the mother but made no mention of rape or incest.
In Kansas, Republican Amanda Adkins — who is running against two-term Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids — wrote in a Kansas City Star op-ed published last week, “I don't support a federal ban on abortion."
The mention came after months of silence by Adkins after the May leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion signaling Roe was in jeopardy. A decade earlier as Kansas' Republican chair, Adkins had supported a strict abortion ban in the party's platform.
Adkins' Star piece also followed close on the heels of Kansas voters’ decisive rejection of a constitutional amendment that would have nullified a state Supreme Court decision guaranteeing the right to an abortion. Notably, the referendum failed in Johnson County — the teeming, suburban heart of Davids' district — by more than 2-to-1. Adkins publicly supported the amendment.
Nunn's and Adkins' efforts to deemphasize their previous conservative stances on abortion are conspicuous. Others have been more subtle.
In a northwest Indiana district that includes working-class cities outside Chicago, Republican Jennifer-Ruth Green answered “none” in a 2022 online questionnaire before the Supreme Court overturned Roe that asked under “what circumstances should abortion be allowed?”
Yet, as the GOP nominee facing Democratic Rep. Frank Mrvan, Green says she supports an anti-abortion measure passed by the Indiana legislature in August that includes exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the mother.
In suburban Minneapolis, Republican Tyler Kistner, who lost narrowly to two-term Democratic Rep. Angie Craig in 2020, is challenging her again. In 2020, his website included a section on abortion that stated he wanted to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood. In this year's campaign, his website does not mention abortion.
Republicans running statewide in battleground races have undertaken similar efforts.
Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters called abortion “demonic” during the GOP primary and called for a federal personhood law that would give fetuses the rights of people. He’s toned down his rhetoric more recently, deleting references to a personhood law from his campaign website and dropping language describing himself as “100% pro-life.”
In Nevada, where a 1990 referendum guarantees the right to abortion, Republican gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo said during a May primary debate that he would consider signing a ban on the Plan B pill. The pill, which is different from the abortion pill, can significantly lower the chance of pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
In August, after Justice Clarence Thomas indicated in the Roe reversal that other high court rulings, including ones protecting the use of contraceptives, should also be reconsidered, Lombardo said he would not block contraceptives and has since noted on his website that he would “ensure that contraceptives stay accessible to Nevadans.”
In the immediate aftermath of the Dobbs v. Mississippi decision overturning Roe, an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll showed 22% of U.S. adults named abortion or women's rights, in an open-ended question, as one of up to five problems they wanted the government to address. That’s more than doubled since December, when an AP-NORC poll found a notable uptick in mentions of abortion from years before, likely in anticipation of the Dobbs ruling.
In Iowa, 60% of adults say abortion should be legal in most or all cases, according to a Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll taken in July, higher still in the suburbs.
That would seem to be a consideration for Nunn, running in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District, which includes the metro area surrounding the capital Des Moines and its booming suburbs to the north and west, as well as vast tracts of more conservative, rural southwestern Iowa.
“While it's a small group on both sides, it energizes them because it's an important issue,” Nunn said, adding that Axne is “not even willing to have a conversation about where she's been on this.”
The counterpunch is a veiled reference to bills including one passed in July in the Democratic-controlled House with Axne's support that block limits on abortions late in a pregnancy — a position Republicans have characterized as extreme.
Republican pollster Whit Ayres said Dobbs has reversed earlier Republican momentum by increasing enthusiasm among abortion rights advocates.
“Clearly there's been movement in the Democrats' favor,” said Ayres, who is an adviser for a super PAC supporting Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's campaign. “The Dobbs decision gave them a reason to get engaged, and that's evident in increased Democratic enthusiasm.”

Olivia Wilde seen for the first time since Don’t Worry Darling tension exposed
Olivia Wilde has been pictured for the first time after reports of tension on the set of her upcoming psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling.
The 38-year-old actress, who will star and direct the film, was seen in Los Angeles on Wednesday in a cropped ‘Flopp’ marshmallow T-shirt and black leggings.
She kept her eyes down and seemed a little tense as she stepped outside wearing a green Sweet Pickle Books hat that occasionally hid her eyes.
Wrapped in controversy: Olivia Wilde is first pictured after alleged tension was exposed on the set of her upcoming psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling
Also dressed in black leggings, the Booksmart director flashed a hint of her slim tummy.
She wore a gray tote bag around her arm, her keys and wore her sandy blond hair in natural waves.
At one point, she straightened her hair into a ponytail.
The Drinking Buddies actress completed the sporty look with a pair of black sneakers.
What a treat! Wilde wore a white ‘Flopp’ marshmallow cropped shirt and black leggings
Olivia and her upcoming movie Don’t Worry Darling have been making headlines lately with reports of tension with star Florence Pugh and disputed stories about how Shia LaBeouf left the film.
Shia, who was originally cast in the role that Harry Styles eventually took on, recently publicly denied Olivia’s claims that he was fired from her film Don’t Worry Darling for his “belligerent energy.”
The actor instead insisted on stopping the project.
In support of his claims, a video of Wilde leaked online on Friday, which clearly shows the director begging LaBeouf to stay with the project, and she alludes to tensions with his future co-star Florence by saying his departure is a ” would be awake.” call to Miss Flo.’
Slim: Wilde showed a glimpse of her abs in her cropped top
Last week Wilde indicated an interview Variety where she said LaBeouf’s trial was “not conducive to the ethos I demand in my productions” after the role was eventually recast with her now-boyfriend Harry Styles.
Styles, 28, plays the character Jack alongside protagonist Florence, who reportedly had some “tension” with LaBeouf.
However, LaBeouf has now provided alleged evidence that refutes Wilde’s claims, including an email he sent to the director and a video she sent to him, which was later leaked online showing him running away from the film.
LaBeouf Claims He ‘Stopped The Movie Due To Lack Of Rehearsal Time’ On Aug 17, 2020 And Redirected Variety two emails he says he recently sent to Wilde.
Page turner: The director of Booksmart wore a green cap with ‘sweet pickle books’
In his messages to Wilde, LaBeouf states, “You and I both know the reasons for my departure. I stopped your film because your actors and I couldn’t find time to rehearse.’
In the email, he refers to his troubled relationship with FKA Twigs and also spoke about his daughter Isabel, whom he shares with partner Mia Goth.
Some studio sources claimed in the publication that LaBeouf had been fired, while another said it was due to a “collective acknowledgment that LaBeouf’s acting style did not fit well with Wilde’s approach as a director.”
Variety reports that LaBeouf sent the publishing screenshots of his conversations with Wilde, who claim they met in person to discuss his departure from the project.
Drama: Olivia and her upcoming film Don’t Worry Darling have been making headlines lately with reports of tension with star Florence Pugh and disputed stories about how Shia LaBeouf left the film
In the email to Wilde, LaBeouf acknowledges his relationship with Twigs, writing, “My shortcomings with Twigs are fundamental and real, but they are not the story presented.”
Twigs – real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett – in a lawsuit accused LaBeouf of knowingly giving a sexually transmitted disease and also accused him of “relentless abuse,” including sexual assault, assault and infliction of emotional distress. He has denied the claims.
It also comes as TheWrap reported on Friday that Florence will do just one editorial in the press to promote Olivia’s second feature film as a director, suggesting the British star is moving away from the film.
‘Florence has been to Budapest to film Dune 2 and before that’ [Christopher Nolan’s] Oppenheimer,” Pugh’s representative told the publication, adding: “She will be in Venice for the premiere of a nighttime shoot in Budapest.”
Love life: Olivia made headlines with Harry Styles in January 2021, when they were photographed holding hands at his manager’s wedding
The report adds that the Venice Film Festival in its current form will be the only red carpet and press conference Pugh is expected to attend.
“She’ll be greeting us from the set of Dune because she doesn’t do press,” a New Line Cinema director added to The Wrap.
Florence wouldn’t be happy with her Don’t Worry Darling co-star and director Olivia because of the way her relationship with Harry started.
Harry and Florence play a married couple in the sexually charged film, which tells the story of a 1950s housewife who lives with her husband in a utopian experimental community. Olivia appears as a character named Bunny.
Disputed Accounts: Wilde recently claimed she fired Don’t Worry Darling’s Shia LaBeouf, but the actor insists he actually quit; pictured 2020
Olivia was previously engaged to Jason Sudeikis since 2012, and they share children Otis, eight, and Daisy, five.
But there has been some confusion over the timing as Olivia and the Ted Lasso star are said to have split up in November 2020.
Olivia made headlines with Harry in January 2021, when they were photographed holding hands at his manager’s wedding.
While it has never been confirmed that the romance between Olivia and Harry started while she was still engaged to Jason, Page six have reported that Florence has argued with Olivia over the pairing.
Recast: Harry Styles eventually took over the role originally occupied by Shia
An insider told the site: “Flo seeing Olivia and Harry walking over each other on set didn’t go well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first made contact with Harry.”
At the time, sources claimed that relationship with Harry was the main reason for the split.
An insider told the site that the affair with Harry had been going on for a month, leaving Jason distraught.
The insider added this week: “Jason and the kids visited Olivia on set a few times in the beginning, so I think people felt a little uncomfortable because of that.”
Coming soon: the film also starring Chris Pine will be released on September 23
MailOnline reached out to a spokesperson for Olivia, Harry and Jason for comment at the time of original publication.
Fans have noticed that Florence has not praised Olivia as the director of the project.
She wouldn’t have “liked” a post where Wilde included the full official trailer for Don’t Worry Darling last month.
Still, Olivia shared a photo of Pugh, writing: ‘It was such a thrill to watch this woman work! I can’t wait to show you more. @florencepugh @dontworrydarling.’
As they were: Olivia was previously engaged to Jason Sudeikis since 2012, and they share children Otis, eight, and Daisy, five; pictured 2019
Florence didn’t respond, but posted a trailer for another new project, Oppenheimer, that same day.
One fan wrote: ‘The way Florence Pugh hasn’t posted yet don’t worry honey even though there are two trailers for it and yet she’ll be posting about every other project she’s doing at the moment like what Olivia Wilde did ????’
However, a source told that for some specific reason Page Six Florence was already going to post about Oppenheimer that day and that it had nothing to do with a response to Olivia.
Olivia and Harry will soon be stepping on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival for the world premiere of the new film and no doubt all eyes will be on them. | https://whatsnew2day.com/olivia-wilde-seen-for-the-first-time-since-dont-worry-darling-tension-exposed/ | 2022-09-01T19:01:12Z | https://whatsnew2day.com/olivia-wilde-seen-for-the-first-time-since-dont-worry-darling-tension-exposed/ | true |
ROCKLAND, Mass. (WXIN) — Thousands of baby strollers are being recalled because the brakes pose an amputation hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall involves all UPPAbaby all-terrain RIDGE jogging strollers. The recall was initiated after the company got a report of a child’s fingertip being amputated. The child was not in the stroller while it was in use.
The company discovered that the stroller’s rear disc brakes have openings that can cause amputation or laceration if a non-occupant child’s fingertip gets caught in the openings while the stroller is in use. To remedy this, the company is providing free replacement brake discs for both wheels.
The recalled strollers have an extendable canopy with a mesh window and zipper pocket, disc hand brake system and an adjustable handlebar with a wrist strap. The brand UPPAbaby is on the front of the stroller, and RIDGE is on the side of the stroller frame.
Recalled strollers have a black frame and a fabric color scheme that is white (“BRYCE”), charcoal (“JAKE”), or slate blue (“REGGIE”) and have black tires.
You can find the serial numbers of the recalled products on the right side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller. The number begins with “1401RDGUS”. The model number “1401-RDG-US” is printed on the left side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller.
The strollers were sold at BuyBuyBaby, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn Kids and other children’s stores and specialty stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from October 2021 through August 2022.
Anyone with the recalled stroller should stop using it until they get replacement brake discs. They can contact UPPAbaby toll-free at 844-823-3132 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email support@uppababy.com. | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/strollers-recalled-after-childs-fingertip-amputated/ | 2022-09-01T19:01:43Z | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/strollers-recalled-after-childs-fingertip-amputated/ | true |
On the one-year anniversary of the remnants of Hurricane Ida devastating New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday pledged more help for victims still recovering from the damage and to better equip the state moving forward as storms are expected to become more frequent and volatile because of climate change.
“We’re not yet done putting back together what Ida tore to shreds, but today we’re ready to move forward to complete the job of repairing and preparing,” Murphy said during a commemorative event in Hillsborough, a township that saw widespread damage and two deaths from the storm last September.
The comments come as many Ida survivors in the Garden State are now waiting on hundreds of millions of dollars in new federal funds to help repair or rebuild their homes.
Meanwhile, a coalition of environmentalists argue New Jersey has not done enough to protect people and property against future storms. Namely, they’re pushing Murphy to follow through on a stalled plan to implement emergency rules for new construction in flood-prone inland areas of the state — which has faced pushback from developers.
In his first comments on the issue, the Democratic governor said Thursday the matter is “complicated” but insisted officials are “committed to resiliency.”
MORE: 30 people died when Ida hit N.J. a year ago, yet state has not installed emergency flood rules
Murphy on Thursday remembered Ida as “one of the most widespread and significant natural disasters in state history.” The storm dropped up to 10 inches of rain in only a few hours in parts of New Jersey, leading to severe flash flooding, $95 billion in property damage, and 30 deaths — the most of any of the nine states affected by the storm.
Hillsborough Mayor Shawn Lipani recalled seeing things “you’d think you only see in apocalypse movies”
“Cars thrown around like toy boxes, and debris which came down the mountain and into car dealerships,” Lipani said.
Murphy said the state has doled out more than $650 million in recovery funds over the last year, including Federal Emergency Management assistance, Small Business Administration Loans, state buyout programs, and other grants.
The governor said the “next steps” include distributing about $283 million in federal HUD community development block grant disaster recovery funds that New Jersey was awarded three months ago.
The state has said it’s creating a plan for the money and has asked residents to complete a survey about what assistance they need to recover and how to prepare for future storms. State officials have until Sept. 28 to submit a plan to the federal government.
Murphy said the money will help victims restore homes, displaced residents pay for rental costs, provide zero-interest loans to those with damaged rental properties to make repairs, and develop resilient affordable housing.
The state will also provide $1 million for counseling and legal aid to homeowners and renters affected by Ida, Murphy said.
In addition, he said the state will also start an “aggressive push” to obtain New Jersey’s “fair share” of $3 billion in new FEMA grant funds for homeowners and local resilience projects.
“We know some of these programs can be painful to work their way through,” Murphy said. “They take time. But I will say this: We will stay with you until you are on their feet.”
Murphy said the state is also launching a new website — DisasterHelp.nj.gov — to help residents, small businesses, and nonprofits get information on how to recover from a disaster and prepare for future storms.
Ida was one of a series of storms to slam New Jersey in recent years. Its anniversary comes about two months before the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the state in 2012.
New Jersey has been hit by significant flooding in 10 of the last 21 years, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
“Floyd, Sandy, Irene, Ida — all names New Jersey would like to forget,” Murphy said of past storms, noting that “each gave us a clear view into our future that if we do not take strong and decisive steps against climate change, we will unfortunately continue to live these realities.”
Murphy has long called for New Jersey to better combat climate change. In early 2020, the administration released an energy master plan, including a goal for the state to run 100% on clean energy by 2050. The state has also developed offshore wind and electric vehicle projects in recent years.
But some environmentalists have accused Murphy of being too slow to implement changes and not doing enough to reach his climate goals.
They are also concerned Murphy’s administration has not followed through on plans to implement the emergency rules to update flood map and rainfall data for inland parts of New Jersey for the first time in 23 years. The rules would increase the inland areas included in flood zones and limit development there.
The state used emergency rules in 2013 to bolster coastal flood zones after Sandy.
“New Jersey is surrounded by water on three sides,” said Doug O’Malley, director of Environment New Jersey. “We need to ensure new development isn’t putting people in harms’ way and reflects the best science we have.”
Alex Ambrose, a policy analyst for left-leaning think tank NJ Policy Perspective, said unless the state acts soon, “we will suffer billions more dollars in damages and lose more loved ones when the next storm hits.”
Developers and business groups are opposed, saying the danger isn’t imminent enough for emergency rules and that the plan could upend thousands of construction projects.
Asked about the delay Thursday, Murphy said: “This is complicated, getting the balance right.”
“Clearly, we are committed to resiliency,” he added. “I’d put our record in that respect up against anybody’s. But we have to get it right — with the amount of infrastructure we have, with the amount of infrastructure investments we’re going to be making over the next number of years, the people and businesses that are moving into the state. We have to acknowledge we’re the most densely populated state in America.”
“So we clearly need resiliency on the one hand, and we will get it,” Murphy continued. “But on the other hand, we have to factor in all the other realities that go with that. ... It’s not a flip-a-light switch kind of thing.”
Republicans, meanwhile, have said Murphy’s energy plans are too costly and burdensome for taxpayers.
But U.S. Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-7th, said Thursday that New Jersey “cannot continue this endless cycle of flooding and rebuilding.” Instead, he said, officials must invest billions in making infrastructure “more resilient” and recognize climate change is the cause of extreme weather.
“There’s no debate in New Jersey that climate change is real,” Malinowski said at the Hillsborough event. “We’ve got to do something.”

Richmond (0-0) at Virginia (0-0), Saturday, 12:30 p.m. ET (ACC Network)
KEY MATCHUP
Richmond QB Reece Udinski and WR Jacob Herres against the Virginia defense. Both former VMI stars, Udinski’s 7,877 passing yards and Herres’ 226 career receptions and 3,006 yards lead all returning players at the FCS level. The Cavaliers gave up many big plays last year, mostly in the passing game.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Richmond: KR-RB Aaron Dykes. Special teams play can be huge in a matchup of FCS and FBS schools, and Dykes has returned three kickoffs for touchdowns, including two in the first half against Delaware in 2019.
Virginia: WR Lavel Davis. The 6-foot-7 Davis was a freshman sensation in 2020 before missing last season with an injury. He’s got long-distance speed and size, joining an already highly accomplished receiving corps for the Cavaliers.
FACTS & FIGURES
Richmond’s last three season-opening road wins have come against Atlantic Coast Conference foes — Duke in 2009 and 2011 and Virginia in 2016. ... Before 2016, the Spiders had not beaten the Cavaliers since 1946 in Richmond. ... Virginia QB Brennan Armstrong set an ACC record with 404.5 yards per game last season. No other QB in the history of the conference averaged more than 350 yards per game in a season. ... The Cavaliers return 89% of their total yardage from last season, when they averaged 515 yards, third in the country, but need to replace their entire offensive line.

BOZEMAN, Mont., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridger Photonics, Inc. (Bridger) announced today that Montana-based syndicate, Beaverhead Partners LLC, has invested $55 million in the company to support its rapid growth. The syndicate is composed of Bozeman-based Madison Valley Partners, sustainability and climate action focused Carica Sustainable Investments, and Bozeman-based Next Frontier Capital. Each of the investors has strong ties to Montana and each is building core holdings in climate-centered technology companies. This minority-share investment in Bridger represents the largest investment of its type for each of the investors.
Bridger developed Gas Mapping LiDAR™, a methane detection technology that has transformed the way the oil and gas industry detects and manages emissions. Bridger mounts its laser sensors on small aircraft, scans oil and gas infrastructure, and provides gas plume images, GPS coordinates, and accurate quantification of methane leaks across the entire natural gas value chain. This information is used by energy companies to efficiently reduce their methane emissions. While Bridger's team and manufacturing are based in Bozeman, it scans for emissions throughout all major oil and gas production basins in North America. Bridger also scans natural gas transmission pipelines and distribution service networks for utility companies. Major clients include ExxonMobil, Southern California Gas Company, Diversified Energy, Devon Energy, Cenovus Energy, Chesapeake Energy, and many others who rely on the company to detect methane emissions so they can lower greenhouse gas emissions and meet sustainability goals.
Bridger's strong growth history and growth potential, combined with the unique competitive positioning of Gas Mapping LiDAR in the methane detection space, made Bridger a compelling opportunity for the syndicate. The fit with Bridger's Montana roots and values-based mission formed a natural partnership between the parties.
The co-lead investor in the syndicate, Madison Valley Partners, is a Bozeman based investment firm led by Steve Burke, the former CEO of NBCUniversal. Mr. Burke, an avid outdoorsman, spends much of his time in southwest Montana. The other co-lead investor of the syndicate, Carica Sustainable Investments, is led by Ham James and Wallace Henderson, both of whom have strong family ties to Montana and a history of sustainable energy investing. Bozeman's Next Frontier Capital, led by Will Price and Richard Harjes, has played a central role in growing venture capital investment in Montana by ten-fold over its first five years of operation. "It's incredible… Bridger is literally changing the world from right here in Bozeman," stated Price. "Having seen 'under the hood,' this is an amazing company and amazing team, and we believe the sky's the limit for how far we can go together," added Price.
Bridger's CEO, Pete Roos echoed the enthusiasm of the investors. "We are beyond excited to share the next stage of our journey with investors from right here in Montana that share our passion for sustainability," stated Roos, who cofounded Bridger Photonics alongside two graduate school colleagues from Montana State University. "This group of investors knows how to guide Bridger to the next level. And you know, this group just feels right," Roos added.
Located in Bozeman, Montana, Bridger Photonics, Inc. provides aerial methane detection, localization, and quantification across the natural gas value chain. Bridger's mission is to enable clean, safe, and streamlined oil and gas operations by providing actionable data for methane emissions reduction. For more information, see www.bridgerphotonics.com.

DENVER (AP) — The anxious-looking women talk directly to the camera, warning that the Colorado Republican running for the U.S. Senate opposes the state’s reproductive rights law and supports the conservative Supreme Court justices who revoked the constitutional right to abortion this summer.
“It’s not even close,” one says as the ad for the Democratic senator wraps up. “We need Michael Bennet fighting for us.”
The spot is significant because the man it slams on abortion, businessman Joe O’Dea, is a rare Republican supporter of at least some abortion rights. O’Dea said he would back a law to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade, though he opposes abortions after 20 weeks except in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.
Analysts say similarly nuanced positions were once considered the political sweet spot in the complex world of abortion politics, coming closest to representing the views of the typical conflicted voter. But that may be changing as abortion restrictions kick in following the fall of Roe with the high court’s ruling in June.
“We are here in this country, right now, with patients traveling thousands of miles for care because politicians have been given the room for the least little bit of nuance,” said Adrienne Mansanares of Planned Parenthood Action Colorado during a recent news conference to back Bennet.
The message from Democrats: Republicans can’t be trusted on the issue, regardless of their personal beliefs.
In New Hampshire, Democrats are going after Republican Chris Sununu, who is running for reelection as a self-described “pro-choice governor,” for supporting a ban on abortions after 23 weeks of pregnancy.
In Connecticut, Democrats slammed as “extreme” former state Sen. George Logan in his race against Democratic U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes — despite Logan receiving an “A” rating in 2017 and 2018 from the Connecticut chapter of NARAL, an abortion rights group. Democrats note the rating was based on Logan’s statehouse votes on other issues of importance to NARAL such as paid family medical leave, rather than abortion.
Also in Connecticut, the Republican candidate for governor, Bob Stefanowski, is out with a television ad highlighting how he and his Democratic opponent “are both pro-choice.” In an interview, Stefanowski said he was responding to repeated Democratic attacks on abortion, which he compared to lies.
“I don’t know how many times I can say I’m not going to change Connecticut law,” Stefanowski said in an interview. “I’m going to support a woman’s right to choose.”
Abortion has become an increasingly partisan issue over recent decades, but public views have always been more shades of gray.
Typically, support for abortion rights is highest for women in the earliest stages of pregnancy and tapers off as the pregnancy advances, until it is lowest for abortions very close to delivery, said Jocelyn Kiley of the Pew Research Center. Still, exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother are popular at all stages.
“Most Americans see this as a nuanced issue and not legal all the time or illegal all the time,” Kiley said. But, she noted, “it’s possible that Americans’ underlying opinions about this are shifting in the past couple of months.”
On June 24, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority overturned Roe and triggered abortion bans in at least 13 states, many of which don’t provide exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother.
The reason this is happening, said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, is “you now have state legislatures that have taken positions opposed by 9 out of 10 Americans.”
“What the Dobbs decision has done along with these trigger laws is focus attention on the early part of pregnancy, not late term,” Ayres said.
While many people back some restrictions on abortion, especially after the first trimester, the most extreme measures introduced in some Republican-led states are at odds with public opinion, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll in July.
There are several signs that momentum is with abortion-rights backers. In conservative Kansas, a ballot measure to remove that state’s right to abortion lost by more than 150,000 votes. Democrats won a special election in a narrowly divided upstate New York swing district last week after their candidate focused on abortion. In a survey shortly after the Supreme Court ruling, Pew found that 62% of U.S. adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the highest share in nearly 30 years of tracking the issue.
That’s emboldened Democrats to go after any Republican on abortion, regardless of the details of their position, said Jennifer Lawless, a politics professor at the University of Virginia who has long tracked the politics of reproductive health.
“Although the nuance on the issue is largely gone, the nuance of the case Democrats can make is stronger,” Lawless said.
She noted that Democrats can now make the more technical argument that any Republican elected increases the power of the party that overturned Roe and could spread abortion bans further across the country.
That’s an argument Colorado Democrats have tried to make, unsuccessfully, before. In 2014, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall lost his race to Republican Cory Gardner, an abortion rights opponent who defused the issue by backing over-the-counter women’s contraception to demonstrate he wasn’t hostile to reproductive health.
Gardner’s supporters mocked Udall as “Mark Uterus” for hammering relentlessly on abortion and they assured voters that Roe wasn’t at risk. Gardner lost his reelection bid in 2020, when Colorado voters replaced him with a Democrat supporting abortion rights after then-President Donald Trump picked now-Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the deciding vote in Dobbs, in the campaign’s final weeks.
Now Democrats are trying again with O’Dea. In an interview, the first-time candidate said of his opponent’s attack: “It’s pretty dishonest, pretty disingenuous.”
Yet in 2020, O’Dea voted for a statewide ballot measure to bar abortions after 22 weeks that failed by 18 percentage points. The measure didn’t contain exceptions for rape, incest or to protect the mother’s life. He now says he thinks those exceptions are essential and added that he would support allowing the termination of nonviable pregnancies.
He noted he wasn’t a candidate for office when the measure was on the ballot.
“I didn’t look at all the nuances,” O’Dea said.
Colorado has a long history of backing abortion rights. It was the first state to legalize the procedure in cases of rape, incest and to protect the mother, taking that step in 1967. Earlier this year, the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed one of the most sweeping laws protecting abortion rights, guaranteeing no restrictions on abortions regardless of when in the pregnancy they occur. O’Dea opposes that law because of his belief that abortions should be outlawed past 20 weeks.
The race is playing out as Colorado has become a refuge for women seeking care after the Dobbs decision activated trigger laws in nearby states, especially Texas.
Karen Middleton, a former Democratic state lawmaker who runs the reproductive rights group Cobalt, recalled in an interview talking to a woman with an ectopic pregnancy driving hundreds of miles from Texas to Colorado to obtain an abortion who began bleeding in a remote area between the states.
“We’re a lot less willing to compromise,” she said.

AUSTIN (Nexstar) — Texas has spent over $12 million to bus migrants from its southern border to sanctuary cities to date, according to the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM).
TDEM said the money is specifically coming from the border security budget approved by the Texas Legislature. According to TDEM, a part of funding also comes from a state of Texas contingency contract to charter buses which includes private security.
Abbott’s office created a portal to accept donations from the public to help fund busing efforts. The donation site lists that the fund has raised $167,828 as of Aug. 17.
Gov. Greg Abbott began directing migrants elsewhere through the bus program in early April. It’s a political move to send a message to the Biden administration, which Abbott said isn’t doing enough to help with the surge of migrants at the southern border.
The first group was sent to Washington, D.C., then New York and now Chicago. According to Abbott, buses are being sent to places that are considered “sanctuary cities.”
Here’s a breakdown of how many migrants have gone to each city to date:
- D.C. – over 7,500
- New York City – over 1,900
- Chicago – over 95
Abbott’s press secretary, Renae Eze, in a statement said:
“President Biden has turned a blind eye to the suffering of Texans, as his dangerous open border policies overrun border communities with a record-breaking level of migrants from over 155 countries flooding into our state. Texas legislative leadership agreed with Governor Abbott that additional funds were needed for Texas to respond to the humanitarian crisis created by the Biden Administration, allocating additional Texas taxpayer money for Operation Lone Star and to help bus migrants to our nation’s capital, including providing security for the buses. And after Governor Abbott announced his plan to bus migrants to President Biden’s backyard in Washington, D.C., we received an outpouring of support from across our state and the entire country of people wanting to help and donate to the operation, raising over $167,000 so far. Texas continues stepping up to help our local partners and protect Texans—it’s time for President Biden and Congress to step up and do their job to secure our border.”
The bus program is voluntary for migrants, though, it’s not clear if migrants are made fully aware of details surrounding their transportation.

AZ Rep. Biggs invites Karine Jean-Pierre to visit border amid migrant controversy
White House press secretary sparked outrage with false claim about border crossings
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Thursday invited White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to visit the southern border — after Jean-Pierre sparked outrage from Republicans and border agents by falsely claiming that illegal immigrants aren't just "walking" across the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Your recent comments during a White House press briefing on August 29, 2022, demonstrate your disregard of the nation’s border crisis," Biggs said in a letter to the White House, obtained by Fox News Digital. "That’s not surprising given that neither you nor President Biden have ever visited the southern border."
Jean-Pierre was asked on Monday why migrants are allowed to illegally enter the U.S. without being vaccinated for COVID-19 but an unvaccinated foreign national traveling on a plane is not.
"Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane. You say that's not OK. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they're allowed to stay? Why?" Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked at the White House press briefing.
WHITE HOUSE CLAIMED PEOPLE AREN'T ILLEGALLY ‘WALKING’ ACROSS BORDER, FOOTAGE SHOWS THE OPPOSITE
"But that's not how it works," Jean-Pierre said.
"That's what's happening," Doocy said. "I know that's not what you guys want to happen. But that is what is happening."
"But that's not — it's not like somebody walks over," Jean-Pierre responded.
Jean-Pierre went on to outline what the administration had done in terms of the border, including cooperation with Western Hemisphere countries at the Summit of the Americas and a sweeping anti-smuggling operation — contrasting it to what she said was the prior administration’s focus on building a wall. She also touted funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including Customs and Border Protection, that was included as one part of the 2022 omnibus spending package that President Biden signed into law earlier this year. (Biggs has called for more border wall construction and was one of a number of Republicans who voted against the omnibus spending bill, citing the $1.5 trillion overall package’s impact on the deficit.)
9.1 Biggs Letter to White House on Border Visit by Fox News on Scribd
"It is not that simple. It’s not just that people are walking across the border," Jean-Pierre said. "We have a plan in place."
Her remarks contrasted sharply with footage showing migrants in the hundreds walking across the border, and sparked pushback from Border Patrol agents who have witnessed hundreds of thousands of migrants walk across — or attempt to evade them — each month.
Biggs, in his letter, said that Jean-Pierre’s remarks "couldn’t be further from the truth" and noted that the COVID-19 vaccination status of the illegal immigrants who are processed and released into the U.S. is often unknown.
"Given that most of these individuals are migrating from countries with low COVID-19 vaccination rates and are traveling in large groups — something that defies Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance — it is safe to assume that COVID-19 is rampant among illegal aliens crossing our southern border," he wrote.
Biggs, co-chair of the Congressional Border Security Caucus, then invited Jean-Pierre to visit the border in his state of Arizona.
"If these facts are not convincing enough, I would like to extend you an invitation to participate in a border tour along the Arizona-Mexico border with me," he said. "You will see that unvaccinated illegal aliens are undeniably crossing our nation’s southern border at unprecedented rates."

Jean-Pierre clarified her remarks on Wednesday, when she outlined the process by which migrants are processed and often released into the U.S. if they are not expelled via Title 42 public health protections.
"Migrants who attempted to enter the country illegally are taken into custody by Border Patrol agents. That is how it works," she said. "That is the process that we are taking. They are then either expelled by the court order under Title 42, transferred to ICE custody or monitored through Alternatives to Detention Program as they await further processing." | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/az-rep-biggs-invites-karine-jean-pierre-visit-border-amid-migrant-controversy | 2022-09-01T19:16:49Z | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/az-rep-biggs-invites-karine-jean-pierre-visit-border-amid-migrant-controversy | true |
Slow improvement
Fiscal authorities should spur consumption and investment to aid faster recovery
The latest official GDP estimates would in normal circumstances be a cause for cheer, pointing as they ostensibly do to a double-digit expansion in economic output in the first quarter. The NSO’s projection of 13.5% growth in gross domestic product from the year-earlier April-June period, however, is disconcertingly slower than the 16.2% pace that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had projected just last month and points to an economy that is still in search of a firmer footing. Faced with headwinds — signs of a global recession and the Ukraine war — the first-quarter’s underwhelming momentum may pitch the economy into a far shallower growth trajectory even as faster-than-acceptable inflation erodes consumer confidence. Output in the eight broad sectors that combine to provide the Gross Value Added (GVA) shows that while year-on-year all sectors expanded, with public administration, defence and other services growing 26.3%, six of these sectors posted sequential contractions. Only two services sectors — electricity, gas, water and other utility services, and financial and professional services — logged expansions from the January-March quarter, growing by 12.6% and 23.7%, respectively. The major employment-providing sectors of agriculture, manufacturing, construction and the contact-intensive trade, hotels and transport services sector suffered quarter-on-quarter contractions of 13.3%, 10.5%, 22.3% and 24.6%, respectively.
The demand side has flattered to deceive. Private final consumption expenditure, the essential bulwark of the economy, appeared to have revived with a year-on-year expansion of 25.9% lifting its share in the GDP to just shy of 60%. However, when viewed sequentially, the estimated ₹22.08 lakh crore of private consumption spending in April-June 2022 was a not insignificant ₹54,000 crore, or 2.4%, less than what was spent in the preceding quarter. And both government spending and gross fixed capital formation, which is viewed as a proxy for private investment, shrank quarter-on-quarter by 10.4% and 6.8%, respectively, undermining overall output. That GDP, in fact, contracted 9.6% sequentially should be a cause for concern among policymakers. Given that this year’s monsoon has distributed rains in an erratic scattershot pattern that has caused disruptive flooding in some parts while leaving key paddy and pulses growing areas in northern and eastern India moisture deficient, both farm output and consumer spending in the rural hinterland are likely to take a hit. And with global trade also becalmed amid the sharp slowdown in advanced economies, India’s merchandise exports are sure to weaken in momentum, any benefits from the rupee’s depreciation against the dollar notwithstanding. With the RBI needing to stay laser focused on taming inflation, the onus is on fiscal authorities to spur consumption and investment.

LIMA, Peru (AP) — LGBTQ rights activists rallied outside the prosecutor’s office Wednesday to demand an autopsy be performed on a Peruvian transgender man who died earlier this month after being detained on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali.
Rodrigo Ventocilla, a 32-year-old graduate student at Harvard University, died Aug. 11 at a Bali hospital. He had been detained Aug. 6 after arriving at the island’s airport. His Peruvian husband, Sebastián Marallano, was also detained when he tried to help Ventocilla.
The couple, who married in Chile, went to Bali on their honeymoon.
Ventocilla’s body has been taken from Indonesia and is expected to arrive in Lima soon, and his relatives want officials in Peru to determine the cause of death, saying they suspect Indonesian authorities abused Ventocilla. Indonesian officials deny that.
“He was detained because of his gender identity. His identity document did not match his appearance. That made him a suspect for the Indonesian police. He was extorted, tortured and has died,” Luzmo Henríquez, a representative of the family of the deceased, told The Associated Press.
Indonesian authorities deny any act of violence and discrimination. “Everything went according to standard operation,” Stefanus Satake Bayu Setianto, a Bali police spokesman, said Monday.
Officials in Indonesia said customs officers found a package of brownies with Ventocilla that they suspected might contain cannabis and turned him over to police. Officials said Ventocilla was taken to the hospital the morning of Aug. 9 after showing symptoms of depression and complaining of stomach pains. He died in the hospital Aug. 11.
LGBTQ activists protested in front of the Peruvian Foreign Ministry last week, complaining that Peruvian authorities did not independently investigate Ventocilla’s death and welcomed the Indonesian authorities’ version without any questions. | https://who13.com/news/international-news/ap-international/ap-lgbtq-activists-in-peru-demand-autopsy-for-death-in-bali/ | 2022-09-01T19:17:59Z | https://who13.com/news/international-news/ap-international/ap-lgbtq-activists-in-peru-demand-autopsy-for-death-in-bali/ | true |

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope takes its first image of planet outside solar system
Taking direct images of exoplanets presents a challenge because stars are much brighter than their surrounding planets - but the telescope has special filters that block out starlight.
Thursday 1 September 2022 19:59, UK
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first image of a planet outside of our solar system.
The telescope recorded four different views of the planet HIP 65426 b, a gas giant about six to 12 times the mass of Jupiter.
"This is a transformative moment, not only for Webb but also for astronomy generally," said Sasha Hinkley, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Exeter.
Astronomers discovered HIP 65426 b in 2017 using the Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile.
But Webb's images reveal new details that ground-based telescopes would not be able to detect due to the intrinsic infrared glow of Earth's atmosphere.
It is a young exoplanet at around 15 to 20 million years old - Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Taking direct images of exoplanets presents a challenge because stars are much brighter than their surrounding planets - HIP 65426 b is more than 10,000 times fainter than its host star in the near-infrared, and a few thousand times fainter in the mid-infrared.
Webb has a near-infrared camera (NIRCam) and mid-infrared instrument (MIRI), which are both equipped with coronagraphs - sets of tiny masks that block out starlight.
"It was really impressive how well the Webb coronagraphs worked to suppress the light of the host star," Prof Hinkley said.
Since the planet is around 100 times further away from its host star than Earth is from the Sun, the telescope can easily separate it from the star in the image.
"Obtaining this image felt like digging for space treasure," said Aarynn Carter, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, who led the analysis of the images.
"At first all I could see was light from the star, but with careful image processing I was able to remove that light and uncover the planet."
Although this is not the first direct image of an exoplanet taken from space, as the Hubble Space Telescope has captured direct exoplanet images previously, the image points the way to future observations that will reveal more information about exoplanets.
"I think what's most exciting is that we've only just begun," Mr Carter said.
"There are many more images of exoplanets to come that will shape our overall understanding of their physics, chemistry, and formation. We may even discover previously unknown planets, too."
Last month the telescope revealed stunning details of the Cartwheel Galaxy, and has previously observed a dying star and a "cosmic dance". | https://news.sky.com/story/nasas-james-webb-space-telescope-takes-its-first-image-of-planet-outside-solar-system-12687129 | 2022-09-01T19:21:06Z | https://news.sky.com/story/nasas-james-webb-space-telescope-takes-its-first-image-of-planet-outside-solar-system-12687129 | true |
AMAZING: Former elementary school janitor works his way up to principal
IONE, Calif. (KCRA) – A man in California who started his career 30 years ago as a janitor is celebrating his first year as that same school’s new principal.
Decades ago, Mike Huss attended Ione Elementary School as a student. He went on to become an employee there – first as a janitor, then as a teacher, and now as a principal.
Huss said he never wanted to be an educator, but his seventh-grade teacher felt otherwise.
“I remember Mrs. Collier telling me, ‘You will be such a great teacher someday,’ and I laughed at her, not going to happen, but here I am,” he said.
Huss ended up starting as Ione Elementary School’s janitor 30 years ago. He then spent 19 years there as a teacher and now is starting his first year as the school principal.
“I was really looking forward to teaching fifth grade again, and they reached out to me and said, ‘We think you’re the leader the school needs.’ That was very humbling, and it brings chills just to say it.”
Huss credits his career to a push from family and friends. He wanted to show his young son, who was 3 years old when Huss went back to school for teaching, that you can do anything you put your mind to.
“If your dad can do this, if your dad can be the school janitor – I was coaching youth sports, maintain a good grade point average – and become a schoolteacher, you can accomplish anything in this life, son.”
Ione Elementary School Office Administrator Melanie Cortez is also a former student of the school. She said the only downfall to Huss’ transition is keeping him in the office and not in the classrooms.
“The kids aren’t used to seeing him in the office, so we have kids come in all day long [asking] ‘Is Mr. Huss busy?’ and so we’ve kind of had to say, ‘OK, let him answer emails – important stuff in there.”
For Huss, it’s about the opportunity to change a child’s life.
“Believe in one person every day that you are here help them see themselves in a different light, because that’s what people have done for me my whole life,” he said. “That’s what I’m trying to do; I’m trying to help students believe in themselves that they can accomplish great things if they just stay the course.”

Indiana man charged with murder in Dutch soldiers’ shooting
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A 22-year-old Indiana man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a Dutch soldier and the wounding of two others in downtown Indianapolis.
Shamar Duncan was charged Thursday with murder, two counts of attempted murder and disorderly conduct in the shootings early Saturday.
The soldiers had been training at a southern Indiana military camp and were on a night out in Indianapolis when prosecutors allege Duncan and his friends bumped into them.
The affidavit says Duncan told one of his friends that he opened fire on the soldiers because he “just spazzed.”
Authorities identified the soldier killed as 26-year-old Simmie Poetsema, a member of the Dutch Commando Corps.

Gloria Estefan turns 65! The singer receives a 'mini me' Barbie doll as she celebrates her big day: 'The best birthday present ever!'
Gloria Estefan received a great birthday gift this year.
The iconic singer marked her 65th birthday on Thursday by introducing a new Barbie Signature doll on Instagram.
'The best birthday present ever! My very own mini me! @barbie #OutNow #Barbie,' she posted, alongside a video showing the doll, as her 1989 song Get On Your Feet plays in the background.
Birthday Doll: Gloria Estefan marked her 65th birthday on Thursday by introducing a new Barbie Signature doll on Instagram
Good gift: 'The best birthday present ever! My very own mini me! @barbie #OutNow #Barbie,' she posted, alongside a video showing the doll, as her 1989 song Get On Your Feet plays in the background. Seen in June
The new Barbie, which debuts on the eve of National Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrates the 33rd anniversary of the Grammy Award-winner's chart-topping 1989 hit, according to Mattel's, and takes inspiration from Estefan's Cuban heritage, paying homage to the look she sported in the song's music video.
The doll's jacket features 'intricate golden detailing with jeweled accents and a dramatic oversized lace sleeve,' according to Mattel, with a gold waist chain, leopard belt and thigh-high boots.
The icon always wanted her own Barbie growing up.
'I played with Barbies since I was a little girl,' the musician said.
Latin Queens: Estefan and Jennifer Lopez perform during the finale of the 1st Annual Latin Grammy Awards broadcast at Staples Center in Los Angeles in 2000
A dream come true: 'I played with Barbies since I was a little girl,' the musician said
Inspiring a new generation: 'For a little Hispanic girl to see herself reflected and say, "Maybe one day I could do something that would have someone make a Barbie about me," it's really cool,' she said
'I wanted to emulate the torero jackets because my grandfather was from Asturias, Spain, and a mix of Moroccan from the Lebanese side of Emilio [Estefan]'s family because him and I are so intertwined. It's just one of my favorite looks that I've ever had.'
Representing her culture is a part of Estefan's purpose and is grateful to have a doll that represents who she is and where she came from.
'I'm well-known in the Hispanic world as someone who has maintained their culture. Despite the fact that we've recorded in English and had pop hits all over the world, we never allowed anyone to change our sound, our image and kept the Latinismo in our music,' she said. 'So, for a little Hispanic girl to see herself reflected and say, 'Maybe one day I could do something that would have someone make a Barbie about me,' it's really cool.'
Legends: Madonna wished Gloria Estefan Happy Birthday on her twitter with this throwback picture 'We wish a Happy Birthday (September 1) to Gloria Estefan!'
The music legend appreciates those who came before her, who helped pave the way for her own stardom and prides herself on helping others reach their full potential.
'I'm honored to have pushed that door open a little bit more,' Estefan expressed. 'For me, it was Carlos Santana, José Feliciano, Desi Arnaz—I was seeing him sing in Spanish on I Love Lucy when I was a kid and it was the top-rated show in America.'
She continued, 'Those artists paved the way for me. So, to somehow have helped things get a little easier...I mean, I was thrilled to see Bad Bunny doing his acceptance speeches in Spanish and performing in Spanish and not having to adapt. That's a wonderful move forward.'

NASA’s second attempt at a historical moon launch could draw a crowd that more than doubles the size of the first turnout, according to authorities.
On Saturday, NASA aims to launch the Artemis I mission from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39-B to herald the first of a series of flights that look to return humans to the lunar surface in more than 50 years. Although uncrewed, Artemis I with its 8.8 million pounds of thrust will make it the most powerful rocket to ever launch into space. The two-hour launch window opens at 2:17 p.m.
An attempt to get the rocket off the ground on Monday left thousands disappointed at popular watch sites surrounding KSC after an engine issue forced NASA officials to scrub the launch.
Prior to the cancellation, the event attracted an estimated crowd of between 100,000 and 200,000 people, according to Don Walker, an emergency manager of Brevard County.
Official numbers are still being calculated through cellphone tracking, but Brevard County’s Emergency Operations Center has already come up with a crowd forecast for Saturday’s attempt predicting a spectator turnout between 200,000 and 400,000 people, Walker said.
“Hotels are already full for that weekend. There’s no school, and fewer people are going to work. It’s possible we will see double what we might have anticipated for the first launch,” Walker said.
The Courtyard by Marriot Titusville, the closest hotel to Kennedy Space Center, which has 152 rooms, is completely booked — mostly by one party, said Wayne Soard, the general manager. The hotel’s Space Bar is being rented out by the party for its view of Launch Pad 39-B.
“If you want a private viewing of a launch from the Space Bar, you have to book out the entire hotel,” Soard said. Hotel staff struggled to get to work on time Monday because of the intense traffic flow, Soard added. But the staff learned from the previous launch they’ll have to leave their homes extra early to make their shifts.
The Florida Highway Patrol and Brevard County Sheriff’s Office will be out coordinating with Brevard’s EOC trying to keep traffic flowing as well as possible, but congestion will happen, Walker said.
“Brevard is 72 miles long and 20 miles wide, there are only a few ways to travel out,” he said. “We understand it’s a historic moment. We’re lucky we can have this happen here for everyone to witness. If you’re living here, we suggest watching from your driveway, but if you’re heading out, anticipate long delays.”
The cities of Titusville, Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral as well as the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization are expected to by Friday to post updates to planned traffic patterns for launch to their social media accounts.
On top of large crowds, above-average temperatures are expected, according to the National Weather Service. The average high for August is 91 degrees, but the NWS is predicting Saturday to experience a peak of 92.
“It’s going to be hot. Bring water. Bring snacks. You’ll need them,” Walker said.
The Space Launch Delta 45 weather squadron on Thursday updated its forecast to predict a better chance for good weather, now a 60% chance for good conditions, up from the initial 40% prediction Tuesday. The backup window on Monday evening has odds of good weather increasing to 70%.
Go For Launch - Space News
And of course, traffic won’t be isolated to the roads. Restaurants and businesses will be dealing with an overflow of visitors.
On top of the Artemis launch and Labor Day weekend, a popular annual surf festival on Cocoa Beach is also going on, said David Fowler, one of the owners of Crackers Island Grille in Cape Canaveral.
“It’s a triple whammy,” he said. David, his wife Kathleen, and their daughter, Brittany Alfaro, own the restaurant together. Typically they close on Sundays. But last week, because of Artemis’ planned Monday launch, they decided to open for business the day before. It was a decision they were very happy with as the restaurant was slammed with business both days with patrons ordering plenty of bouillabaisses and cajun crawfish boil.
“We’ve already started preparing for Saturday,” Kathleen said. “We’ve been doing more prep work, ordered more beer, and more stuff we wouldn’t normally have had otherwise.”
The family business has been receiving reservation calls for Saturday, but Crackers is walk-in only. Although, Kathleen and David are pretty confident wait times won’t be too long. On Monday, the longest wait time patrons experienced was about 15 minutes, David said. Although, no matter how busy it gets, he is planning on stopping what he’s doing to take a minute and walk outside should Artemis actually launch Saturday afternoon.
“On a normal launch, our windows shake,” David said. “This is going to be quite the launch. I used to watch the Apollo mission, and this is way bigger. I’m dying to hear it.”

The university presidents who oversee the College Football Playoff are scheduled to meet Friday to discuss expanding the four-team format, re-opening the possibility that a new model for crowning a champion could be implemented as soon as the 2024 season.
Two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday that CFP’s Board of Managers, led by Mississippi State President Mark Keenum, is set to convene by video conference.
There is no guarantee the presidents will take any official action or vote to approve an expansion model, but another person familiar with the situation told AP they would like to accelerate a process that had ground to a halt six months ago.
All the people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the board’s plans were not being made public.
The CFP management committee, comprised of 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director, is scheduled to meet next week in Dallas.
The management committee is responsible for hashing out a format for the CFP, but the presidents have the final say on what happens with the playoff.
Back in February, CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock announced expansion talks among the commissioners had failed to produce the needed unanimous consensus in time for the format to change before the end of the current contract with ESPN. That deal runs through the 2025.
The CFP recently announced the sites of the championship games for the final two seasons of the current 12-year deal.
Hancock said back in February that expansion talks would resume later in the year with a focus on what the playoff would be starting in 2026.
Since then, the commissioners who opposed the proposed 12-team format have seemingly softened their stances. The commissioners left a June meeting with renewed optimism their differences could be worked out, one of the people said.
Last year, the relatively new commissioners of the Pac-12, Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference pushed back against an expanded playoff plan that was unveiled in the summer 2021.
The 12-team model, that included six conference champions and six at-large teams, had been worked on for more than two years by a group of four commissioners, including Greg Sankey of the Southeastern Conference.
Concerns about automatic access for certain conferences, how the Rose Bowl would fit into an expanded format and the health and safety of players competing in as many as 17 games were cited as reasons against the 12-team plan.
Failure to get agreement on expansion left Sankey and others frustrated. Expanding the playoff before the end of the current television deal has been estimated to be worth an additional $450 million in media rights to the conferences.
At the SEC meetings in late May, Keenum said the presidents wanted the commissioners to provide a plan for the next CFP format no later than June 2023.
Keenum also said then that the presidents planned to take a more active role in expansion talks and that he wanted them to meet again before the end of the summer to “continue the dialogue.”

LPS getting ready to kick off 'Project LEARN'
Another new school year means London police are gearing up for another ‘Project LEARN.’
Project LEARN (Liquor Enforcement and Reduction of Noise) is a response to community concerns that arise at the onset of each school year as students return to the area for class.
According to police, the project focuses on nuisance parties, open fires, noise, littering, and public urination in the city.
During the month of September, London residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the downtown core and in neighbourhoods around Western University and Fanshawe College.
In 2021, Project Learn resulted in 15 provincial offence notices, one Reopening Ontario Act charge, eight by-law notices, and two arrests under the Liquor Licence Control Act.
Project LEARN was first launched in 2007 with a goal to protect public safety and property, and to encourage students to celebrate responsibly. It will be in place until September 24, 2022. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/lps-getting-ready-to-kick-off-project-learn-1.18446630 | 2022-09-01T19:33:55Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/lps-getting-ready-to-kick-off-project-learn-1.18446630 | false |
Volkswagen on Thursday announced a special edition Golf R commemorating 20 years of the all-wheel-drive hot hatchback. The aptly named 2023 VW Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition goes on sale in the U.S. this fall, with a planned production run of about 1,800 units.
Marking the anniversary of the 2002 European launch of the Golf R’s predecessor, the R32, the 20th Anniversary Edition deletes the sunroof that’s standard on other Golf R models. This removes some weight from the car’s highest point, to lower the center of gravity.
Other exterior changes include a gloss black finish for the 19-inch wheels, which are wrapped in the same 235/35 summer tires as the standard Golf R, “20 R” puddle lights, and a smattering of blue-finished “R” logos.
The 20th Anniversary Edition is available in Lapiz Blue Metallic, Deep Black Pearl, and Pure White. For a bit of contrast, the mirror caps are finished in Lapiz Blue on Deep Black Pearl and Pure White cars, and gloss black on Lapiz Blue cars.
The interior adds carbon-fiber trim pieces for the dashboard and front door panels—the first time this has been done in a production VW. The steering wheel and key fob get “R” logos as well.
The special edition is mechanically unchanged, keeping the EA888 2.0-liter turbo-4 from the standard Mk8 Golf R, with output unchanged at 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Europe is getting a special Golf R with slightly more power, but only the U.S.-market 20th Anniversary Edition will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission (a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic is also available).
Prices start at $46,035 with the manual gearbox and $46,835 with the dual-clutch transmission (all prices include destination), an increase of $650 over the standard Golf R with either transmission.

Erling Haaland is taking English soccer by storm.
Back-to-back hat tricks. Nine goals in five games. No player has ever made as good a start to the Premier League as the towering Norway striker.
Haaland’s latest three-goal haul came in the first half of City’s 6-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, three days after achieving the same feat in the second half against Crystal Palace.
City was banking on Haaland being the heir to long-time striker Sergio Aguero and it’s already looking as if that is the case.
Aguero previously held the record for most goals in a player’s first five Premier League appearances, with eight along with former Coventry striker Mick Quinn (from the early 1990s). Haaland has bettered that, and surely more scoring records will fall if he continues like this.
For example, can he become the first player to score 40 goals in a single top-flight campaign in England since Tottenham’s Jimmy Greaves in 1960-61?
“What Haaland wants is to win titles,” Guardiola said of the striker who scored with his left foot, right foot and head against Forest. “Knowing him, he would not be happy to break records if we don’t win titles.
“Sergio is a legend — no one can break his position in the hearts of Man City fans. But Erling has the quality to be there.”
City is the red-hot favorite to win the Premier League again with Haaland leading the line and is unbeaten with four wins from five games.
Even its back-up striker is scoring, with Julian Alvarez — an offseason arrival from Rover Plate — marking his first start with two goals in the second half. Joao Cancelo also scored with a blast from outside the box.
Still, the champions aren’t top. That honor remains with Arsenal.
PERFECT START
Arsenal has matched its best ever start to a Premier League season after securing a fifth straight win to open the season by beating Aston Villa 2-1.
Gabriel Martinelli’s 77th-minute goal clinched victory at Emirates Stadium after Arsenal was pegged back by conceding a goal straight from a corner by Douglas Luiz, who did the same in an English League Cup match last week, too.
That came against the run of play, with Arsenal dominating the game but only having Gabriel Jesus’ 30th-minute goal — his third of the season — to show for it.
“That is the spirit we need to keep for the whole season,” Martinelli said.
Villa has lost four of its five games, leaving manager Steven Gerrard under pressure.
LATE, LATE GOAL
Liverpool is battling hard to keep up with the fierce pace set by Arsenal and City, needing a goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time by Fábio Carvalho to claim a dramatic 2-1 win over Newcastle.
Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead in the 38th on his debut following a move from Real Sociedad on Friday for a club-record fee and was denied a second goal by narrow offside call.
Roberto Firmino swept in a finish from Mohamed Salah’s cross to equalize before a penalty-box melee following a corner saw the ball pop up off the shoulder of Salah, and Carvalho — a summer signing from Fulham — reacted quickest to smash into the roof of the net.
“I am not sure everyone in the stadium kept believing but from now on we have to,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said. “What a wonderful goal from the little one.”
It was a second straight victory for Liverpool, which opened the season without winning any of its first three games.
SPURS UNBEATEN
Tottenham remained unbeaten after a 1-1 draw at West Ham, for whom club-record signing Lucas Paqueta missed a chance to score a late winner on his debut.
West Ham manager David Moyes said before kickoff that Paqueta had not so much as passed a ball to his new teammates after only completing his 52 million pound ($61.6 million) switch from Lyon on Monday.
With four minutes remaining, Vladimir Coufal pulled the ball back and Paqueta — on as a 67th-minute substitute — got in a mix-up with fellow new signing Emerson Palmieri as they left the ball to each other, 10 meters from goal, instead of taking a shot. Moyes fell to his knees on the touchline.
An own-goal from Thilo Kehrer gave Tottenham the lead before Tomas Soucek equalized.
In the other game, Bournemouth drew 0-0 at home to Wolverhampton, two days after firing manager Scott Parker.

Two biopharmaceutical companies will give $5 million and $500,000, respectively, to nonprofit organizations in the United States and abroad that are responding to the growing monkeypox outbreak. The pledges come as the early philanthropic response to the disease, which disproportionately affects LGBTQ people, has been fairly muted compared with the early days of COVID-19.
Gilead Sciences, which produces HIV medicines, is providing up to $5 million to nonprofits in the United States and abroad that are working to prevent and treat monkeypox. It will give $350,000 each to GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign, the National Black Justice Coalition, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Those nonprofits will collaborate on a public education campaign and create materials about vaccination, treatment, and prevention that can be shared with organizations across the country.
Gilead will also give another $500,000 to NMAC, a nonprofit working to end the HIV epidemic, which will use the money to lead an advocacy campaign focused on ensuring monkeypox vaccines are distributed equitably and to fight vaccine hesitancy. The remaining $3 million will be distributed in grants of up to $50,000 to Gilead’s grantees outside the U.S. that are also seeing a rise in monkeypox cases.
ViiV Healthcare, another pharmaceutical company focused on HIV treatments, will make $500,000 in grants to nonprofits in the United States helping with outreach, education, and testing related to monkeypox.
Both companies have a history of helping LGBTQ people deal with health issues and supporting people who have HIV/AIDS or are at risk of getting it.
Tanya Gulliver-Garcia, director of learning and partnerships at the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, said she is not aware of any other major grants for the disease.
“It’s possible, and this has been my prediction from the beginning, that a lot of the funding for monkeypox is going to be very local,” she said. “It will be community foundations and small corporations giving to organizations in their own city or town.”
That smaller scale of giving is in stark contrast to the billions of dollars in funding that foundations and corporations gave in the early days of COVID-19. By May 2020, U.S. grantmakers had given $6 billion in response to the coronavirus spread, according to Candid.
The differences in giving for COVID-19 compared with monkeypox in part stems from differences between the diseases. COVID-19 was a new, not fully understood virus that spread aggressively and could be fatal. Monkeypox is a disease that has been around for decades, spreads through close physical contact, and is very rarely fatal, according to the CDC. Gulliver-Garcia said that the difference also can be attributed to the fact that the current monkeypox outbreak so far has largely affected men who have sex with men.
“This, for me, is very reminiscent of the late ’80s, early ’90s, when HIV and AIDS were considered to be a queer disease,” she said. “Mainstream media didn’t pay a lot of attention.”
Government and mainstream philanthropy only began to take more action, she said, after HIV and AIDS began to spread more broadly.
Because the philanthropic response has been limited, LGBTQ nonprofits and health centers on the front lines responding to monkeypox have struggled to finance their work. Leaders said they had to find money in their budgets to pay for the monkeypox response since few grants are available. Their efforts also have been hampered by a limited supply of vaccines and the spread of misinformation, several nonprofits told the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Gilead’s decision to donate to nonprofits was prompted by concerns its officials were hearing from grantees starting in May, said Jane Stafford, executive director of corporate giving at Gilead.
Stafford said grantees told her and colleagues, “We need dedicated funding that we can use to put out education, to have vaccine clinics, to make sure that we have enough (personal protective equipment) for staff that are currently working, and then, in some cases, to provide funding for temporary staff to come in and help these organizations.”
With more than 14,000 cases of monkeypox reported across the country, California, Illinois, and New York have joined the federal government in declaring states of emergency.
The outbreak has largely affected gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, although the virus can be spread to anyone through close, skin-to-skin contact. About 94% of people who have tested positive had sexual or intimate contact with men within the three weeks before their symptoms began, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As a result, LGBTQ organizations with experience serving gay and bisexual men and health providers that treat patients with HIV/AIDS are helping. According to federal government estimates, 41% of people who have gotten monkeypox so far have also been HIV positive.
One of the biggest obstacles health providers have faced is the sparse supply of vaccines. The United States had only 2,400 doses of the vaccine on hand when the outbreak began, which would have been enough to vaccinate just 1,200 people. The Biden administration ramped up supply, recently announcing an additional 1.8 million doses will be available. The demand still has outmatched the number of available vaccines, according to federal health officials.
As of August 16, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation had distributed about 1,300 vaccines. And about 11,780 people are on the nonprofit’s waitlist of eligible recipients. TPAN, a health provider in Chicago that serves people with HIV and those at risk of getting it, has distributed 400 doses. But the demand has been triple that amount, according to Kara Eastman, the organization’s CEO.
Racial disparities in the vaccine rollout also remain a persistent challenge. In New York City, where monkeypox cases have been particularly high, Black people received just 12% of the doses despite making up 31% of those at risk of contracting the disease, the city’s Health Department reported.
Daniel Driffin, a consultant with NMAC working on an equitable monkeypox response, said he worries that people will get frustrated and stop seeking chances to get vaccinated.
Nonprofits and health providers responding to monkeypox have also seen a strain on their resources after dealing with COVID-19.
“It has been both a time-intensive and a resource-heavy response that has not seen a financial support behind it in the same ways that we saw happening early on (with COVID-19),” said Tyler TerMeer, CEO of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. The organization has tapped into its budget to create a hotline to field questions about monkeypox and pay more staff to host vaccine clinics during the evenings and weekends.
TPAN in Chicago held an online appeal to raise funds that attracted $3,000 in donations to deal with monkeypox.
“This is a time for philanthropy to step up and identify groups that they are already supporting and offer up resources to help us,” Eastman of TPAN said. “Because while this is being inaccurately categorized as something that’s impacting only one group in the country right now, it’s a public-health issue.”

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A fast growing E. coli outbreak linked to Wendy's hamburgers and sandwiches has caused severe illness across the Midwest. The food safety lawyers at the Pritzker Hageman law firm have been contacted by more than 35 people seriously sickened after eating at Wendy's. Many have ended up in the ICU with E. coli complications, including a dangerous form of kidney disease called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Pritzker Hageman's E. coli lawyers have been retained by multiple clients with HUS, including children at risk for permanent brain damage.
As of August 25, the CDC has reported 84 E. coli illnesses in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. After interviewing people sickened, the CDC says romaine lettuce used on Wendy's hamburgers and sandwiches is the likely source of this E. coli outbreak.
Pritzker Hageman's legal team has been examining legal documents, health department records, and medical evidence to identify the romaine supplier and determine everyone who is responsible for harming so many people. Pritzker Hageman's outbreak investigation team believes the number of people sickened will likely grow to the hundreds.
Did Wendy's Cut Corners on Food Safety?
Most outbreaks happen when food companies or their chosen suppliers fail to follow proper food safety practices, causing severe illness and even death. Just days after the E. coli outbreak announcement, instead of concentrating on their customers' safety, Wendy's threw an exclusive and lavish party at a Los Angeles night club to promote one of their products.
Pritzker Hageman attorney Eric Hageman says, "Wendy's claims it doesn't 'cut corners' on its burgers, but clearly it was cutting corners when it comes to the safety of its food."
Contact an Experienced E. coli Lawyer Before Time Runs Out
The Pritzker Hageman E. coli lawyers have won hundreds of millions of dollars for people sickened by contaminated food, including one of the largest E. coli monetary settlements in U.S. history.
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with E. coli food poisoning after eating at Wendy's, you should talk to an experienced lawyer right away because laws called "statutes of limitations" may limit the amount of time you have to file a claim.

Despite falling into a technical recession during H1, the recent easing in gasoline prices will support positive real private consumption growth during H2.
-
Headline inflation has peaked, but labour market and underlying price pressures remain strong. Fed will be forced to hike US economy into a recession in 2023.
-
We adjust the GDP forecasts to +1.6% in 2022 (from +2.4%) and -0.2% for 2023 (from +0.1%). The downward revision for 2022 largely reflects the weaker-thanexpected growth during H1, but risks remain tilted to the downside for 2023.
Despite the recession fears, US economy performed relatively well over the summer, as the GDP contraction in Q2 was driven by slower inventory growth. Aggregate demand, fuelled by the pandemic-era stimulus, recovered near its pre-covid trend already in late 2021, and despite the sharp decline in consumers’ real incomes, the July retail sales continued to signal broad-based growth in nominal spending. As we highlighted in Research US - Higher for longer, 19 August, the persistent drop in the US labour force combined with demand near pre-pandemic trend signals, that output gap has turned positive.
While we see European inflation accelerating further towards the fall, US headline inflation has likely already peaked in June. Gasoline prices are down 23% from the peak, and we now expect energy contribution to turn negative in 6 months’ time, which implies further declines in headline inflation. In addition, food-related futures prices have fallen from the recent peaks and PMI indices point towards continuing easing in supply chain challenges. That said, the positive output gap combined with the tight labour markets will continue to fuel the underlying price pressures until Fed brings the aggregate demand back into equilibrium by tightening financial conditions further.
Labour market shows few signs of cooling
The economic imbalance challenging the Fed is the most evident in the labour markets, as even though labour demand appears to have peaked, the ratio of job openings to unemployed remains at historically high levels. Unit labour cost growth outpaced the high consumer price inflation during H1, suggesting that businesses are pressured to continue hiking prices also in the future. Given the 2% inflation target and productivity growth averaging just above 1% during 2010s, wage growth around 3% would be consistent with Fed’s goals, while in July the realized pace was 5.8% m/m AR.

DENVER (AP) — The anxious-looking women talk directly to the camera, warning that the Colorado Republican running for the U.S. Senate opposes the state’s reproductive rights law and supports the conservative Supreme Court justices who revoked the constitutional right to abortion this summer.
“It’s not even close,” one says as the ad for the Democratic senator wraps up. “We need Michael Bennet fighting for us.”
The spot is significant because the man it slams on abortion, businessman Joe O’Dea, is a rare Republican supporter of at least some abortion rights. O’Dea said he would back a law to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade, though he opposes abortions after 20 weeks except in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.
Analysts say similarly nuanced positions were once considered the political sweet spot in the complex world of abortion politics, coming closest to representing the views of the typical conflicted voter. But that may be changing as abortion restrictions kick in following the fall of Roe with the high court’s ruling in June.
“We are here in this country, right now, with patients traveling thousands of miles for care because politicians have been given the room for the least little bit of nuance,” said Adrienne Mansanares of Planned Parenthood Action Colorado during a recent news conference to back Bennet.
The message from Democrats: Republicans can’t be trusted on the issue, regardless of their personal beliefs.
In New Hampshire, Democrats are going after Republican Chris Sununu, who is running for reelection as a self-described “pro-choice governor,” for supporting a ban on abortions after 23 weeks of pregnancy.
In Connecticut, Democrats slammed as “extreme” former state Sen. George Logan in his race against Democratic U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes — despite Logan receiving an “A” rating in 2017 and 2018 from the Connecticut chapter of NARAL, an abortion rights group. Democrats note the rating was based on Logan’s statehouse votes on other issues of importance to NARAL such as paid family medical leave, rather than abortion.
Also in Connecticut, the Republican candidate for governor, Bob Stefanowski, is out with a television ad highlighting how he and his Democratic opponent “are both pro-choice.” In an interview, Stefanowski said he was responding to repeated Democratic attacks on abortion, which he compared to lies.
“I don’t know how many times I can say I’m not going to change Connecticut law,” Stefanowski said in an interview. “I’m going to support a woman’s right to choose.”
Abortion has become an increasingly partisan issue over recent decades, but public views have always been more shades of gray.
Typically, support for abortion rights is highest for women in the earliest stages of pregnancy and tapers off as the pregnancy advances, until it is lowest for abortions very close to delivery, said Jocelyn Kiley of the Pew Research Center. Still, exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother are popular at all stages.
“Most Americans see this as a nuanced issue and not legal all the time or illegal all the time,” Kiley said. But, she noted, “it’s possible that Americans’ underlying opinions about this are shifting in the past couple of months.”
On June 24, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority overturned Roe and triggered abortion bans in at least 13 states, many of which don’t provide exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother.
The reason this is happening, said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, is “you now have state legislatures that have taken positions opposed by 9 out of 10 Americans.”
“What the Dobbs decision has done along with these trigger laws is focus attention on the early part of pregnancy, not late term,” Ayres said.
While many people back some restrictions on abortion, especially after the first trimester, the most extreme measures introduced in some Republican-led states are at odds with public opinion, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll in July.
There are several signs that momentum is with abortion-rights backers. In conservative Kansas, a ballot measure to remove that state’s right to abortion lost by more than 150,000 votes. Democrats won a special election in a narrowly divided upstate New York swing district last week after their candidate focused on abortion. In a survey shortly after the Supreme Court ruling, Pew found that 62% of U.S. adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the highest share in nearly 30 years of tracking the issue.
That’s emboldened Democrats to go after any Republican on abortion, regardless of the details of their position, said Jennifer Lawless, a politics professor at the University of Virginia who has long tracked the politics of reproductive health.
“Although the nuance on the issue is largely gone, the nuance of the case Democrats can make is stronger,” Lawless said.
She noted that Democrats can now make the more technical argument that any Republican elected increases the power of the party that overturned Roe and could spread abortion bans further across the country.
That’s an argument Colorado Democrats have tried to make, unsuccessfully, before. In 2014, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall lost his race to Republican Cory Gardner, an abortion rights opponent who defused the issue by backing over-the-counter women’s contraception to demonstrate he wasn’t hostile to reproductive health.
Gardner’s supporters mocked Udall as “Mark Uterus” for hammering relentlessly on abortion and they assured voters that Roe wasn’t at risk. Gardner lost his reelection bid in 2020, when Colorado voters replaced him with a Democrat supporting abortion rights after then-President Donald Trump picked now-Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the deciding vote in Dobbs, in the campaign’s final weeks.
Now Democrats are trying again with O’Dea. In an interview, the first-time candidate said of his opponent’s attack: “It’s pretty dishonest, pretty disingenuous.”
Yet in 2020, O’Dea voted for a statewide ballot measure to bar abortions after 22 weeks that failed by 18 percentage points. The measure didn’t contain exceptions for rape, incest or to protect the mother’s life. He now says he thinks those exceptions are essential and added that he would support allowing the termination of nonviable pregnancies.
He noted he wasn’t a candidate for office when the measure was on the ballot.
“I didn’t look at all the nuances,” O’Dea said.
Colorado has a long history of backing abortion rights. It was the first state to legalize the procedure in cases of rape, incest and to protect the mother, taking that step in 1967. Earlier this year, the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed one of the most sweeping laws protecting abortion rights, guaranteeing no restrictions on abortions regardless of when in the pregnancy they occur. O’Dea opposes that law because of his belief that abortions should be outlawed past 20 weeks.
The race is playing out as Colorado has become a refuge for women seeking care after the Dobbs decision activated trigger laws in nearby states, especially Texas.
Karen Middleton, a former Democratic state lawmaker who runs the reproductive rights group Cobalt, recalled in an interview talking to a woman with an ectopic pregnancy driving hundreds of miles from Texas to Colorado to obtain an abortion who began bleeding in a remote area between the states.
“We’re a lot less willing to compromise,” she said.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — One summer night, Misty Castillo stepped out of her house in Salem, Oregon, called 911 and asked for the police, saying her son was mentally ill, was assaulting her and her husband and had a knife.
“He’s drunk and he’s high and he’s mentally ill,” Castillo told the emergency dispatcher, emphasizing again her son’s mental condition. Less than five minutes later, a police officer burst into the house and shot Arcadio Castillo III dead as he stood, his mother said later, “frozen like a deer in headlights.”
“He didn’t try to calm him down. He just came in and immediately shot my son,” Castillo said.
Time and time again across the U.S., people experiencing mental health crises are being killed by police, but the exact number remains unknown because of a yawning governmental information gap.
A law passed by Congress in 2016 requires the Department of Justice to collect and publish data on how often federal, state and local officers use force, how many times that force ends up being fatal and how often the deceased had a mental illness. But the law doesn’t require police departments to tell the DOJ how many people their officers killed. The FBI, for the first quarter of this year, estimated that only 40% of all law enforcement agencies submitted use-of-force numbers.
Arcadio’s parents had sought mental health treatment for their 23-year-old son and even tried to have him committed. But the system, such as it is, failed them.
Across the country, in West Virginia, another system failure, another death.
Matt Jones was apparently suffering from a severe manic episode while standing on a highway with a handgun. Police were everywhere, sirens wailing. The scene on July 6 in the community of Bradley was captured by a bystander on video. One officer took a shot and then others opened fire, killing Jones in a hail of bullets.
The 36-year-old had been unable to get his medication refilled and was experiencing delusions and hallucinations, his fiancée, Dreamer Marquis, said.
“He desperately wanted help,” Marquis said. “He knew that he needed the medication in order to live a normal life because he knew that he would have manic episodes that would get him in trouble.”
Advocates for people with mental illness say it’s clear they face greater risk of a police encounter resulting in their death.
Hannah Wesolowski, chief advocacy officer of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said the deaths of Castillo and Jones “highlight a larger systemic problem that we have in helping people who are struggling with their mental health or are in a mental health crisis.”
Many communities lack a mental health crisis infrastructure, with nearly 130 million people in the United States living in an area with a shortage of mental health providers, she said.
People with untreated mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed during a police encounter than other people approached by law enforcement, the Treatment Advocacy Center said in a 2015 report.
In Portland, Oregon, 72% of the 85 people who were shot to death by police from 1975 to 2020 were affected by mental illness, drugs or alcohol, or some combination thereof, according to Jason Renaud of the Mental Health Association of Portland. The group does not have the numbers for those affected by mental illness alone, but sometimes they’re intertwined. Long-term methamphetamine use, for instance, can cause psychosis.
Lt. Nathan Sheppard, a Portland Police Bureau spokesman, said he couldn’t confirm those numbers. All Portland police officers receive crisis intervention training, he said, but more must be done to address what he described as a “public health emergency … in which services and treatment are not readily available or easily accessible for those in need of mental health treatment.”
Misty Castillo is suing a Salem police officer and the city for the failure to use crisis intervention tactics and training before the officer resorted to deadly force by shooting Arcadio, on July 9, 2021. A grand jury found the shooting was justified. The district attorney’s office said Arcadio rushed towards the officer with a knife in a stabbing position, but his mother denied that.
A case worker at a psychiatric crisis center couldn’t diagnose Arcadio because of his drug and alcohol use, Castillo said. Arcadio’s parents tried to have him committed to a psychiatric institution, “but everywhere we turned we were told he wasn’t sick enough to be committed,” Castillo said. “And one week later he was killed.”
A video of the West Virginia killing hit social media before Jones’ loved ones were informed about his death.
Nicole Jones, his sister-in-law, was scrolling through Facebook when she clicked on a video that showed a man with blond shoulder-length hair walking on a highway, pursued by at least eight police with guns drawn. The man held his arms above his head, a pistol in one hand. He pointed the gun at his own head briefly.
Jones’ heart dropped as she recognized the man’s walk and the way he flipped his hair over his shoulder— and realized it was her husband Mark’s brother.
Mark Jones said Matt, who had been a star baseball player and wrestler, struggled with mental health since childhood. Matt built a landscaping and tree removal company but was also getting in trouble — often DUIs or driving without a license or violating probation, his family said.
While incarcerated, Matt was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and placed on medication. But weeks before his death, he was running low on pills and broke down crying, his fiancée said.
He didn’t have a driver’s license. His social security card and birth certificate were elsewhere. That made it difficult to make medical appointments, Marquis said.
Mark Jones was at work landscaping when he saw the video of his brother being shot.
“I was trying to understand, ‘What was he thinking?’” he said. “What I keep coming back to is that he was lost and he really wanted help — not just one time, but his whole life.”

A pregnant Texas woman who received a ticket for driving in the HOV lane in June now claims she has received another ticket for the same offense by the same sheriff's deputy.
According to The Dallas Morning Newspaper, Brandy Bottone was pulled over by a Dallas County Sheriff's deputy on June 29 for driving alone in the carpool lane, which requires drivers to have at least two people in the car to use.
Bottone claimed she told the deputy that she had the right to use the HOV lane because her unborn child counted as a passenger since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Texas penal code recognizes an unborn child as a person, NBC News reported.
Despite her argument, Bottone received a ticket. She appealed, and it was later dismissed, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office confirmed to the newspaper and NBC News.
Now, Bottone said in early August she received yet another ticket for the same offense by the same sheriff's deputy.
Bottone told the "Today" show on Wednesday that the deputy knew exactly who she was.
"Hello, I know you," she quoted the deputy as saying.
Bottone told The Dallas Morning News on Sunday that the deputy then asked her when she going to have her baby, to which she replied, "Tomorrow."
She told the news outlets that he ended up giving her a ticket.
The Dallas County District Attorney's Office told the news outlets that the "second citation is currently pending."
According to the newspaper, Bottone has since given birth to a girl. | https://www.kbzk.com/news/national/pregnant-texas-woman-claims-same-deputy-ticketed-her-again-for-driving-in-hov-lane | 2022-09-01T19:43:58Z | https://www.kbzk.com/news/national/pregnant-texas-woman-claims-same-deputy-ticketed-her-again-for-driving-in-hov-lane | false |

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Los Angeles-based Orion Real Estate Partners ("Orion") announced today that it has acquired the Ranches, a build-for-rent townhome community in North Ogden, Utah. Orion purchased the 79-unit apartment community in August 2022 and plans to invest approximately $900k in interior and exterior improvements. The Ranches offers large 1,245 average SF units and sits on a 5.8-acre site with ample amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, a community dog park and playground. Built in 2018, there is minimal deferred maintenance and all units will receive upgraded stainless steel appliances, modernized hardware and fixtures, vinyl flooring, and washer and dryer sets to bring rents in line with other premium scope units in the immediate submarket. At roughly half the cost of owning a home, the renovated units come at an affordable price tag and drive significant cost savings for tenants.
This marks Orion's second acquisition in Utah and 22nd deal overall since 2016, and the firm is focused on expanding its portfolio in Utah and other high growth western states. Ogden, Utah was ranked in the top 15 large cities in the country for two years in a row by the Milken Institute, a testament to the growth and resilience of the city. Orion secured a fixed rate loan for up to 10 years from CBRE Multifamily Capital through Fannie Mae, protecting the investment against rising interest rates.

Bed Bath & Beyond announced today it will close 150 of its “lower-producing” stores and reduce its staff by 20% in order to “improve its balance sheet and cash flow.”
Sue Gove, director and interim chief executive officer of the New Jersey-based retailer said, “We are embracing a straight-forward, back-to-basics philosophy that focuses on better serving our customers, driving growth, and delivering business returns.”
In January 2020, the retailer had announced it would close 200 stores in the next two years. In January of this year, it said it was permanently closing 37 stores in 19 states including two in Pennsylvania - one in York and one in Pittsburgh.
Bed Bath & Beyond did not say today where the current 150 stores closing are located.
Earlier this month Bed Bath & Beyond stock plummeted after Ryan Cohen, the co-founder of Chewy, confirmed he no longer owns any shares.
Grove said today that Bed Bath & Beyond will change its “merchandising and inventory strategy, which will be rooted in National Brands.”
Grove said the 20% “reduction in force” will be across the “corporate and supply chain.”
Bed Bath & Beyond said it has “identified and commenced the closure of approximately 150 lower-producing Bed Bath & Beyond banner stores.”
Bed Bath & Beyond said it is “exiting a third of its Owned Brands” and will discontinue three of the nine = Have, Wild Sage and Studio 3B. The inventory of the other brands, Simply Essential, Nestwell, Our Table, Squared Away, H for Happy and Everhome “will be substantially reduced.”
Bed Bath & Beyond said second-quarter sales have declined 26% when compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.
In June of this year, the company replaced CEO Mark Tritton as sales slumped. Grove was appointed on an interim basis.

The Red Sox recalled Wong from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.
Wong becomes the Red Sox's third catcher on the 28-man active roster, joining Reese McGuire and Kevin Plawecki. With neither backstop having established himself as Boston's clear No. 1 catcher, it wouldn't be surprising if Wong received an extended look while the team remains out of contention for a playoff spot. Wong produced an .832 OPS over his 355 plate appearances at Worcester. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-connor-wong-receives-promotion-thursday/ | 2022-09-01T20:00:23Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-connor-wong-receives-promotion-thursday/ | false |
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Former Malaysian first lady Rosmah Mansor was ordered to serve 10 years in prison after being found guilty on Thursday of soliciting and receiving bribes during her husband’s corruption-tainted administration, a week after he was imprisoned over the massive looting of the 1MDB state fund.
Rosmah was convicted on a charge of soliciting 187.5 million ringgit ($42 million) and two charges of receiving 6.5 million ringgit ($1.5 million) between 2016 and 2017 to help a company secure a project to provide solar energy panels to schools on Borneo island.
The court sentenced her to 10 years in prison on each charge, to be served concurrently, and a total fine of 970 million ringgit ($217 million). She will be allowed to remain free on bail pending her appeal to higher courts.
High Court Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said prosecutors proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Rosmah corruptly solicited bribes and received money as a reward for herself. He said her defense was a “bare denial, devoid of credible evidence.”
Earlier, Rosmah made an emotional plea from the dock, saying she was saddened and felt she wasn’t given justice. She said she had never solicited any funds or taken a single cent while she was heading charity foundations during her time as the prime minister’s wife.
She also decried as political persecution the events that led to Najib being jailed and her family being made to suffer. “I do not even know the cost of the project. So I am just telling the truth and nothing else but the truth,” she said. “If that’s your conclusion, I surrender to God.”
Defense lawyer Jagjit Singh later told reporters that the amount of the fine was the largest ever in Malaysia’s history. He said Rosmah was shocked and upset, and that they plan to appeal to higher courts. Under the law, each charge carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of five times the bribes solicited and received.
Her conviction was another blow after Najib began a 12-year prison term last Tuesday after losing his final appeal in one of the five graft cases against him involving the multibillion-dollar pilfering of 1MDB.
Before the verdict, Judge Zaini also rejected Rosmah’s application to disqualify him after an alleged guilty judgment leaked online. Police said the leaked document was work done within the court’s research unit and was not the judgment, but Rosmah’s defense said they lost confidence the judge could be fair.
The judge said he didn’t request the research and that those were not his grounds. He said he didn’t read the documents, had done his own research and wasn’t prejudiced against Rosmah. Malaysia’s top court earlier slammed the action of the website, run by a blogger based in England, as “a deliberate act” to smear the court’s reputation.
Last week, the same website published a document it said was the Federal Court’s guilty verdict against Najib, just before the ruling was read out in court. The court has said that leaked document was a working draft of the ruling. The court has filed complaints with police over both leaks.
Najib and Rosmah have been hit with multiple charges of graft after the shocking ouster of his United Malays National Organization in the 2018 elections, fueled by public anger over the 1MDB scandal. UMNO has since returned to power after defections caused the collapse of the reformist government that won the 2018 polls.
Rosmah’s trial shed light on her alleged sway in the government since her husband took office in 2009. Prosecutors said Rosmah wielded considerable influence due to her “overbearing nature,” even though she held no official position. Witnesses testified that a special department, called First Lady of Malaysia, was set up to handle Rosmah’s affairs.
Her former aide, who was jointly charged with Rosmah but later testified for the prosecution, told the court that many businesspeople lobbied Rosmah for help to secure government projects. The aide testified Rosmah was feared by civil servants and requests from her department were often swiftly carried out.
The court also heard that she spent 100,000 ringgit a month ($22,300) to hire online propagandists to deflect criticism of her lavish lifestyle that led to her being despised by many Malaysians.
After Najib lost power, police raided family residences and seized hundreds of boxes of luxurious Hermes Birkin handbags, 423 watches, 14 tiaras and other jewelry plus cash estimated at more than 1.1 billion ringgit ($246 million).
During her trial, 23 prosecution witnesses testified but only two defense witnesses were called, including Rosmah. She told the court she was never involved in government affairs and that her former aide was a corrupt liar who had used her name to solicit bribes and pocketed the money himself.
Rosmah has also been charged with laundering illegal proceeds and tax evasion linked to 1MDB in another trial that hasn’t started.
1MDB was a development fund that Najib set up after taking office. Investigators allege more than $4.5 billion was stolen from the fund and laundered by Najib’s associates through layers of bank accounts in the U.S. and other countries to finance Hollywood films and extravagant purchases that included hotels, a luxury yacht, art works and jewelry. | https://www.kron4.com/news/world/ap-international/ap-malaysian-court-to-rule-on-graft-case-of-jailed-ex-pms-wife/ | 2022-09-01T20:01:32Z | https://www.kron4.com/news/world/ap-international/ap-malaysian-court-to-rule-on-graft-case-of-jailed-ex-pms-wife/ | true |
The Indiana State Nursing Board has agreed to change its policies to address its violation of federal law.
The U.S. Department of Justice found earlier this year that a program to help rehabilitate and monitor nurses with substance use disorders violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. That’s because the board wouldn’t allow nurses who use medication in their recovery to participate in the program.
Under a settlement agreement announced Thursday, the Nursing Board agreed to allow nurses who are prescribed medication to help address their opioid use disorder to participate in the program. And it will ensure those nurses don’t face discriminatory conditions or terms.
The settlement with the Justice Department also requires the board to pay $70,000 to the person who brought the complaint.

Marilyn Monroe biopic star Ana De Armas slams NC-17 rating from Netflix and says other films on the streaming giant are 'more explicit'.... so which movies COULD she be talking about?
- The Motion Pictures Association announced that the upcoming Marylin Monroe biopic Blonde would be rated NC-17 for 'some sexual content'
- NC-17 stands for 'No Children 17 or under' and is the highest rating in the Motion Picture Association film rating system
- The film stars Cuban actress Ana de Armas as Monroe and is based on a Joyce Carol Oates novel
- de Armas was quick to blast the rating, claiming that there are a number of shows 'way more explicit' than the biopic
- Australian director Andrew Dominik did not hold back about the NC-17 rating, saying its ' a bunch of horses***
Marilyn Monroe biopic star Ana de Armas has slammed the rating for the upcoming release – believing that there are far more explicit shows on the streaming giant.
The actress said that she was ‘baffled’ by the NC-17 rating for the show (which rules it inappropriate for anyone under the age of 17) and said there are a ‘number of shows or movies’ that are ‘way more explicit with a lot more sexual content. ‘
Director Andrew Dominik also lambasted the decision as political' and 'a bunch of horses***. Over the Motion Pictures Association of America rating.
Blonde author Joyce Carol Oates and Jamie Lee Curtis - whose father Tony Curtis co-starred with Monroe in Some Like It Hot - have both seen the film and fully approve.
Many have accused Netflix of trying to up the hype of the show before it is released on September 28 by giving it the adults only rating – hoping it will encourage viewers to tune in.
The streaming giant has filled our small screens with extremely erotic options – as well as the more gruesome and blood-filled horror choices.
The Marilyn Monroe biopic has raised eyebrows with it's NC-17 rating, with Cuban star Ana de Armas sayng there are more 'explicit' shows on the streaming giant
Director Andrew Dominik also lambasted the decision as political' and 'a bunch of horses***. Over the Motion Pictures Association of America rating
Movies rated NC-17, 18+, are not necessarily always pornographic or obscene, but most cinemas won't screen them since many newspapers and TV stations refuse to run ads for them.
Blonde is Netflix’s first NC-17 release, but the giant has previously launched several much raunchier series and movies – including 365 Days and Bonding.
Others, including Squid Game, have displayed exceptional amounts of gore and violence, while also carrying a milder TV-MA or R rating.
It is unclear exactly what scenes have given the new biopic it's rating, but Dominik confirmed that there was a depiction of rape in the show.
DailyMail.com takes a look at the movies and TV shows that the Cuban actress could be referring to – with much racier scenes than Blonde…
356 Days
RATING – TV-MA
Polish film 365 days, tells the story of 'fiery executive' Laura Biel (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) who is kidnapped and imprisoned on a holiday to Sicily by mafia boss Massimo Torricelli (Michele Morrone).
365 features scenes of BDSM, voyeurism and multiple kinky sex scenes
The film, which arrived on the streaming service in the both the UK and the US in July 2020, features scenes of BDSM, voyeurism and multiple kinky sex scenes - and it has sparked furious controversy on both sides of the Atlantic.
In once scene, Laura is forced to watch mafia boss Massimo be pleasured by another woman while she remains chained to a wall, wearing nothing but a dressing gown.
Another scene sees the couple engage in some very steamy intercourse on the mafia boss’ yacht after Massimo saves Laura’s life.
Shocked viewers also watch Laura being tied to a chair on a private jet while Massimo teases her genitals.
Laura also teases Massimo by sexually arousing herself in the glass-pannelled shower while he lies in the nearby bed.
At another point the couple have sex against the window with the backdrop of Warsaw behind them.
Despite the criticism, the film had plenty of viewers feeling hot under the collar and it has been widely compared to E.L. James's Fifty Shades franchise.

New Cherry Flavour
RATING - TV-MA
Scenes in a new gruesome horror drama series Brand New Cherry Flavour left some viewers feeling lie they had been ‘scarred’ for life after watching them.
The bizarre series was originally released on the streaming site in August 2021, however a particularly 'messed-up' scene from the fourth episode has recently went viral.
The series itself, based on a 1996 book by the same name, tells the story of a Brazilian director called Lisa N. Nova, played by actress Rosa Salazar, who moves to Los Angeles in the hopes of leading her first major feature film.
After moving to Hollywood, Nova meets a producer-director by the name of Lou Burke - played by Eric Lange - who ultimately betrays her when she spurns his advances, prompting the budding director to enlist the help of a witch to curse him in revenge for his cruel behavior.
However Nova is forced to pay an incredibly strange price curse, which was performed by a witch named Boro: shortly after the spell was enacted, Nova begins to vomit up newborn kittens, which are then collected by a zombie who delivers them back to the witch.
While the plotline itself has left many viewers scratching their heads in confusion, it is a particularly peculiar and gruesome sex scene in the fourth episode of the series that has prompted a flurry of shocked and outraged reactions.
The scene, which takes place half-way through episode four, begins with Nova discovering a wound on her stomach. Initially horrified by the injury, she begins to touch it, which seemingly starts to turn her on.
Moments later she screams in pain as a newborn kitten is 'born' from the lesion, leaving the director writhing around in pain on the bathroom floor.
Nova is comforted by her new beau, Roy, whom she tells all about her strange affliction, before the pair begin to kiss.
While embracing, Roy begins to touch the wound and eventually puts his entire hand inside it when Nova appears to become more aroused, before the duo have sex on the bed of a motel room.

Squid Game
RATING - TV-MA
A gruesome Netflix horror series about a fictional deadly game show in which poverty-stricken characters compete Battle Royale-style to win a £27million cash prize has come under fire from viewers over its 'unnecessary gore and violence'.
Korean-made Squid Game features grisly scenes of characters being shot in the head and organ harvesting, in the latest example of shock-tactic programming from the streaming giant.
But some TV fans have been left repulsed by the excessive violence, with several saying they could not even make it through the first episode - and others recommending it be banned for viewers under 20 because it is 'too gory'.
In the series, the characters are trapped inside a candy-colored fortress and overseen by masks guards, also wearing pink.
Each character is in desperate need of money - one has escaped from North Korea and is trying to reunite her family - and so is willing to put her life on the line in the hope of winning the cash prize.
In each episode of Squid Game, characters take part in bloody versions of traditional children's games, like Grandmother's Footsteps, or British Bulldogs, with the winners progressing to the next 'round' of the game show.
The losers are executed by a masked death squad standing by with machine guns, with one scene in a version of Grandma’s Footsteps showing a contestant covered in blood after their head is blown off.
The story centers around gambling addict Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and his childhood friend Cho Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo), a disgraced banker wanted by the police.
In the final episode of Squid Game - and 'round' of the fictional game show within the series - the main characters are pitted against each other, with Gi-hun eventually tasked with killing his closest friend in order to win the game and take home the 45.6 billion won (around £28m) cash prize.

Ginny & Georgia
RATING - TV 14
Released earlier this year, Ginny & Georgia follows 15-year-old Ginny and her 30-year-old mother Georgia as the latter tries to give her children - which also includes son Austin - a better life.
However, Ginny feels like she's more mature than her mother as the two explore different relationships in the comedy drama.
Viewers were left gobsmacked after Ginny went from 'never having kissed a guy' to suddenly losing her virginity in the very first episode.
Another shocking scene saw Ginny masturbate with a toothbrush as she began to discover her sexuality.
In episode four, she sends her boyfriend, Hunter, a photograph in her lingerie.
But after he doesn't respond, she instead sends it to her secret lover and neighbour Marcus, who she lost her virginity to.
The two of them begin to exchange flirty messages and start to both masturbate - but to the shock of fans, Ginny uses an electric toothbrush, with the bristles up.

Bridgerton
RATING - TV MA
Netflix's Regency-era romp Bridgerton has become a hit with viewers, at least partly for its raunchy sex scenes.
In the main the series follows Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) as they enter a complicated relationship with plenty of twists - and sexual tension.
Alongside that there are the love stories of other couples, including Daphne's brother Anthony Bridgerton, who is in love with a courtesan opera singer.
The series was praised for a larger number of its sex scenes focusing on female pleasure, while critics suggested their were too many steamy moments for a period drama.
Within the first twenty minutes of the eight hour long series, Anthony Bridgerton - brother of protagonist Daphne - romps with a beautiful opera singer Siena against a tree.

There are at least 12 different sexual acts across eight episodes - from innocent snogging to daring oral sex, with one fan-favourite moment being between Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) on the stairs.
The Duke of Hastings also performs oral sex on Daphne in the library of a country home during a sex-filled montage in episode six.
The couple also had sex in the garden, in an inn while travelling and had steamy sex in the Duke's master bedroom.
There was also a controversial scene where Daphne refused to let the Duke pull out before climaxing, so that she could fall pregnant with his child.
So raunchy were some moments that Netflix reportedly had to fight to keep the sex scenes off porn websites, after the news distressed castmembers.
The streaming giant had thought to have been 'working tirelessly to hunt down pirates' who uploaded the more intimate moments from the show, reports The Sun.
At the time, it was understood that many of the scenes had already been taken down from X-rated platforms after the cast were left feeling 'horror and anger' at seeing them online.
The Green Inferno
RATING – R
Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno is based on a group of students who travel to South American to protest against a chemical firm.
But when their plane crashes they are kidnapped by a cannibalistic tribe, who – graphically – start eating their prisoners one by one.
Viewers were left disgusted after the college kids saw themselves picked off one by one in increasingly gory ways.
One of those who was captured was beheaded, with the leader of the tribe holding his head aloft with a scream still on his face.
His eyeballs are plucked out, his tongue cut off before he is dismembered limb by limb.
There are also a number of sexual jokes, and nudity throughout the film which saw it hit with a backlash.
The 2013 horror film shows graphic scenes of cannabalism as well as nudity throughout the entire picture
Viewers were left disgusted after one captured charachter was beheaded, with the leader of the tribe holding his head aloft with a scream still on his face
Bonding
RATING - TV MA
Bonding is a Netflix original series about a woman (Tiff played by Zoe Levin) who moonlights as a dominatrix to pay her way through graduate school.
She is joined by her best friend Pete (Brendan Scannell), an aspiring comedian who falls into becoming her bodyguard and assistant.
The second series of Bonding began in early 2021, and saw Tiff being trained in BDSM and role-playing.
One of the first scenes is of a man suspended facedown from the ceiling in full-body leather.
Dominatrix Mistress Mira (Nana Mensah) stands in front of him, harshly reprimanding Tiff and Pete before turning towards the men and asking 'Are you all right, pet?'
Other astonishing scenes show Mira interacting with a client in a sleep sack while he has an apparatus controlling his oxygen flow.
In the first season, viewers witness Tiff tying up a client and engaging in Flintstones role playing.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York state Department of Labor recovered more than $270,000 in unpaid wages for a domestic worker who was “chronically underpaid” for taking care of an elderly woman over three years, the department announced Thursday.
The recovery of funds to the victim, whose name was not released, was one of the largest recoveries in the department's history for a single worker, department officials said.
The victim was hired by brothers Habib Tawil and Charles Tawil to take care of their mother at a residence in Brooklyn, where she worked an average of 115 hours a week from 2015 to 2018 and was paid $260 weekly, officials said.
The worker's duties included bathing, changing, and feeding the woman, as well as performing household tasks like cleaning and laundry, officials said.
The victim told investigators she took care of the mother day and night, often going months without pay and going hungry herself. She was let go after the mother’s death.
Following outreach attempts by the Department of Labor and disputes among Tawil family members about who was responsible for the wages, funds were released in June 2022 and have been distributed to the victim, the department said.
“Withholding rightfully-earned wages from workers is unacceptable, and won’t be tolerated in New York State,” state Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon said in a statement. “I applaud this victim for coming forward and hope her story inspires others to act."
Officials with the labor department’s Division of Immigrant Policies and Affairs also worked with the consulate in the victim’s home country to fulfill her wish of returning home to her family, the department said.
A phone number listed for Habib Tawil was not in service.

Many school districts are dealing with a second year of school bus driver shortages, while some areas have seen improvements in hiring.
Monetary incentives have become the new normal in an effort to recruit school bus drivers. In Houston, Texas, officials are offering a $2,000 sign-on bonus. Near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the bonus is $4,000. Los Angeles, California, is paying drivers $5,000, and near Sacramento, school bus drivers can earn up to $10,000 if they stay on with the district for 18 months.
Sign-on bonuses, increased pay, and new recruitment strategies have paid off in some cities. In Nashville, Tennessee, they raised pay by $5 an hour.
In other Tennessee school districts, and many other locations across the country, pay for school drivers is now around $20 an hour. Drivers are also getting paid training and guaranteed full-time hours.
While some school districts are offering incentives, others are having to reduce school bus routes, change school start times, create new walking zones for students, and pay families to cover transportation.
In Anchorage, Alaska, school officials considered asking the National Guard to help with bussing children, but the idea was quickly squashed. Instead, Anchorage went to a rotating bus route suspension schedule, leaving some families on their own for transportation for six weeks at a time.
In Massachusetts, where the National Guard was called in last school year to help drive children to school, things have improved. The same transportation vendor that trained soldiers last year has hired recruiters to find more long-term drivers. This year, the state doesn’t anticipate needing any extra help. | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/several-states-increasing-benefits-for-school-bus-drivers-to-combat-shortage | 2022-09-01T20:08:16Z | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/several-states-increasing-benefits-for-school-bus-drivers-to-combat-shortage | true |
Donald Trump on Thursday expressed empathy for people who stormed the U.S. Capitol.
In an interview with radio host Wendy Bell, Trump said, if he runs again and is elected, he would consider pardoning some of those being prosecuted for the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
"I mean full pardons with an apology to many," Trump said.
Trump's comments came on the same day a New Jersey man pleaded guilty to two felony charges for assaulting law enforcement officers with a dangerous weapon on Jan. 6, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
More than 850 people were arrested following the attack on the Capitol. The DOJ says 260 individuals are charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.
In public hearings over the summer, the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack attempted to tie Trump to the mob, both of whom wanted the results of the 2020 presidential election overturned. Trump spent the weeks after the election spreading unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud. He also called for his supporters to march to the Capitol during a rally on Jan. 6. | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/trump-says-hed-consider-pardons-for-capitol-rioters-if-hes-president-again | 2022-09-01T20:08:22Z | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/trump-says-hed-consider-pardons-for-capitol-rioters-if-hes-president-again | false |

The Astra SDK is a state-of-the-art, fully-built avatar design tool giving developers a robust character creation solution.
SALT LAKE CITY and VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tafi, the creator of Astra, the world-class 3D avatar creation engine, announced the public launch of their Astra SDK. With today's update, any developer has easy access to Astra to integrate it into their games and digital environments. Astra is built to save developers time and money while giving their users a powerful tool to create their perfect digital identity using Astra's massive 3D asset library. Creators can also integrate their own 3D assets designed in various 3D modeling software for nearly infinite possibilities for their users' avatars. Developers can sign up now to receive the SDK on the Astra website.
Astra is the most advanced avatar creation SDK on the market, providing a massive range of shapes and sizes of avatars not seen in other products, as well as powerful asset customization features. Astra's easy and cost-effective solution takes the hard work out of the avatar process, letting developers skip the daunting task of building out a system from scratch.
Astra has been in development for over five years and has been in private beta with over 30 developers integrating it into their games. Now, with the public launch, any developer looking for a powerful avatar engine rather than just a creator or editor will find Astra to be the best solution available to them.
Harold Dumur, CEO of Ova and StellarX, says about Astra, "When we were at the point of integrating an avatar system in our award-winning StellarX 3D content creation for the non-programmers and the non-pro-users, we knew we needed a best-in-class avatar system to meet the high expectations of our customers.
"We were thrilled to leverage Tafi's Astra SDK. It was the only solution that provided us with an end-to-end avatar system with tons of content. Moreover, the whole SDK integration took us less than a day. We could not be more pleased. Tafi's SDK is truly a game-changer."
Key features of Astra:
- A pre-built content library - users will have access to 1,000s of assets to build their perfect avatar
- Assets include clothes, hair, decals, morphables, and more
- The ability for creators to add their own 3D assets
- 3D assets fit any shape or size of avatar automatically with no poke-through
- A streamable asset system. No need to ship assets with developers' builds
- Solutions are performed quickly, client-side, allowing content to be distributed without precomputation
- A rich API for customizing avatars and querying assets
- Support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
"I've been designing avatars and the systems that create them for years, and Astra fills what I've found to be a gaping hole in the avatar creation market," said Ty Duperron, Chief Product Officer of Tafi. "The SDK's versatility, ease of integration and use, and diverse high-quality assets allow users to truly represent themselves in virtual spaces exactly how they want to be represented. Tafi is working to build a metaverse that is inclusive and as diverse as our users, and we've heard loud and clear that people spending time in these spaces value choice in their digital personas. Astra gives developers the ability to provide almost an endless number of choices to those users in their projects."
"Astra has been designed from the ground up for developers, by developers," said Jesse Janzer, Director of Technology at Tafi. "I'm very proud of this SDK because it gives creators of all skill levels a massive boost in building games and worlds with a diversity of avatars like we don't see at the moment. We work by the idea that whatever you can imagine is possible, and now we get to see exactly what talented developers can imagine. I couldn't be more excited for what creators will do with this."
Founded in 2019, Tafi's mission is to make personalized avatars and branded digital content available to everyone who wants to level up their digital personality. Partnering with mobile phone platforms and software applications, Tafi puts its world-class avatar content engine at your fingertips. Learn more at MakeTafi.com.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis defended her use of rap lyrics in criminal cases Monday after the office released an indictment targeting alleged members of what she said is a violent street gang connected to a string of home invasions in Atlanta.
In an indictment filed Aug. 22, Atlanta officials accused alleged members of the Drug Rich gang of targeting the homes of celebrities and some social media influencers, including singer Mariah Carey, Marlo Hampton of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and Atlanta United player Brad Guzan. The 220-count indictment charges 26 people, most of whom are accused of violating Georgia’s anti-gang and racketeering laws.
Willis said those listed in the indictment spoke about the offenses in their music.
“I think if you decide to admit your crimes over a beat, I’m going to use it,” Willis told reporters at the news conference. “I’m going to continue to do that; people can continue to be angry about it. I have some legal advice: Don’t confess to crimes on rap lyrics if you do not want them used — or at least get out of my county.”
Willis denied claims that her comments were aimed at rappers.
“I’m not targeting anyone, but you do not get to commit crimes in my county and then decide to brag on it, which you do as a form of intimidation, and not be held responsible,” she said.
Her comments come after her office used similar evidence in an indictment on Aug. 5 against Atlanta rapper Young Thug, born Jeffery Williams, and more than a dozen others who are accused of various charges, such as gang activity along with drug and firearm charges.
Williams’ attorney, Brian Steel, maintains his client’s innocence.
“Mr. Williams has committed absolutely no crimes,” Steel told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.. “We cannot wait for a trial date.”
A spokesperson for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office did not return NBC News’ request for comment on the indictment filed Aug. 22.
Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur, the CEO and founder of AllHipHop.com, said there has been a rise in hip-hop artists using their music to amplify illegal activity.
“In this day and age, I think it’s a little more complicated,” Creekmur said of Willis’ decision to use rap lyrics in criminal cases. “What seems to be the case is that we’re seeing an increase in criminal behavior that seems to exist within hip-hop. … It seems like the lyrics are more reflective of reality than we’ve seen in the past.”
While Creekmur admitted he does not have a hard stance on the issue, he said artists should be able to express themselves.
“Do I think that lyrics in a general sense … should be excluded from legal matters and prosecution? Yeah, typically, I think that creative expression should be free,” he said. “The problem really is that there are artists that actually rap about what they’re doing … so it gets very difficult to discern between one or the other.”
This is not the first time public officials have made a case that acts of violence are linked to rap music and lyrics.
In February, New York City Mayor Eric Adams called for a ban on drill music following the killing of 18-year-old rapper Chii Wvttz. He blamed the battle-infused subgenre of rap for contributing to the city’s recent uptick in violence and went as far as to meet with some of those rappers to talk about potential solutions. Adams is a former New York City Police Department officer who touted a tough-on-crime mayoral agenda when he ran for office.
However, other officials such as Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., have fought against connecting rap music to crime. In July, Bowman introduced the Restoring Artistic Protection Act, or RAP Act, to prohibit the use of lyrics in criminal and civil proceedings. Meanwhile, in California, the state Senate and Assembly both unanimously approved a similar bill in August that would prevent prosecutors from citing lyrics as evidence. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is reportedly expected to sign this bill into law this month. | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/georgia-da-fani-willis-says-rap-lyrics-will-continue-used-criminal-cas-rcna45680 | 2022-09-01T20:12:39Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/georgia-da-fani-willis-says-rap-lyrics-will-continue-used-criminal-cas-rcna45680 | false |

JACKSON, Mississippi — Mississippi's capital city was restoring running water to some homes and businesses Thursday, but many faucets remained dry or had only a trickle of water as crews worked to repair a flood-impaired water treatment plant.
Jackson leaders reported some overnight progress in refilling tanks at the O.B. Curtis Water Plant, the facility at the root of the latest water woes in Jackson.
Those among Jackson’s 150,000 residents who had running water again remained under a boil order that pre-dates the problems caused by flooding.
“Many areas throughout Jackson now have some pressure. Areas closer to the plant are experiencing almost normal pressure,” the city said in a news release. “Areas further from the plant and at higher elevations are still experiencing low to no pressure.”
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said the National Guard was opening water distribution sites, adding to sites already run by the city and by volunteer groups.
“To everyone in the city: I know that you're dealing with a profoundly unfair situation,” Reeves said at a news conference Thursday. “It's frustrating, it's wrong and it needs to be fixed.”
Low water pressure left some people unable to take showers or flush toilets.
Jackson schools held classes online Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and some restaurants closed. Portable toilets are parked outside the Capitol. Jackson State University brought in temporary restrooms for students.
Lisa Jones filled empty paint buckets with water at a distribution site in south Jackson on Wednesday. She said her family would use the water for bathing. She said she's frustrated by paying for water service she's not receiving.
“Every week you have to beg somebody to go to their house and ask if you and your children can take a bath. And then you’re running their bills up," Jones said. "If we can’t fix it, we need to get someone who can. ... Fix what’s broke. Enough is enough.”
Reeves declared a state of emergency Monday night after excessive rainfall and flooding from the Pearl River exacerbated problems at the treatment plant. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for the state. Biden called Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba on Wednesday to discuss response efforts, including support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers.
Thursday morning, the city reported “significant progress” in restoration efforts at the treatment plant, with output measuring 78 pounds per square inch, approaching a goal of 87 PSI.
“There are still challenges to navigate as the intake water source changes chemistry again. Operator schedules have been adjusted to increase coordination between shifts,” the city statement said.
In addition to on-site repairs, the city is working to obtain more chemicals needed for treatment. | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/nation-world/jackson-mississippi-sees-some-improvement-in-damaged-water-system/507-70c3c1bd-bb00-4f2a-ba38-72271dacefa7 | 2022-09-01T20:16:27Z | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/nation-world/jackson-mississippi-sees-some-improvement-in-damaged-water-system/507-70c3c1bd-bb00-4f2a-ba38-72271dacefa7 | true |

Brantley's new show explores the perception of the Black body
NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 9th through October 22nd, internationally recognized artist Hebru Brantley will present his show, Dark Fiction: Flowers & Frogs, at Richard Beavers Gallery at 14 Wooster Street, New York, NY.
This exhibition explores the perception of the Black body – how it is presented, seen, and how it survives. In this work, Brantley finds a correlation between the beauty of flowers and the Black body. "There is a beauty within us and within our culture," says Brantley. "This beauty is precious and vulnerable, and oftentimes commoditized, the same way flowers are clipped for decoration for the instant gratification of humans, promptly causing them to wither and die once removed from their soil."
"Flowers are also personal to me as I recollect my mother in the garden," continues Brantley. "As a child I have memories of helping her tend the garden and learning the delicate and precious nature of the various plants she was cultivating. A correlation is also drawn between a tended garden and a community or household in the same context of the black body, embodying both themes of nature and nurture, together."
Brantley's Dark Fiction body of work is a departure from his well-known Flyboy universe, featuring iconic characters "Flyboy and Lil Mama." But throughout, his work is often seen challenging the traditional view of the hero or protagonist. The context, development and expressions of his youthful troupe, which are sometimes in autobiographical form, summon the audience to reimagine childhood and the American cultural experience in Brantley's created context of dark fiction.
Dark Fiction: Flowers & Frogs by Hebru Brantley will open Friday, September 9th from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and will run September 9 – October 22. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon – 6:00 p.m. Richard Beavers Gallery SoHo is located at 14 Wooster Street, New York, NY 10013.
Recognized internationally, HEBRU BRANTLEY has exhibited in Chicago, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York including Art Basel Switzerland, Art Basel Miami, Art Basel Hong Kong, and Frieze London. Brantley has been recognized in publications including CNN, the Chicago Tribune, Forbes, WWD, HypeBeast, Complex Magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the New York Post. Collectors of his work include LeBron James, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Lenny Kravitz, George Lucas, and Rahm Emanuel, among others. Brantley has collaborated with brands like Nike, Hublot, and Adidas.

EYEWITNESS NEWS (WBRE/WYOU) — Governor Tom Wolf is issuing a reminder to Pennsylvanian students who will receive President Joe Biden’s Student Debt Relief that it will not be taxed.
According to a release issued by the governor, students who will be receiving up to $20,000 in relief under President Biden’s Student Debt Relief Plan will not be taxed on that relief.
In a statement Governor Wolf said:
Cumulative federal student loan debt is holding back Pennsylvanians who want to pay their bills, afford housing and have a little financial breathing room all while obtaining meaningful employment and a successful career.
I applaud President Biden for supporting hard-working student loan borrowers who are shouldering astronomical student debt by providing much-needed relief.
Given this positive action at the federal level, my administration does not intend to burden these Pennsylvanians with a tax bill following this beneficial action.
Therefore, that relief will not be considered taxable income in Pennsylvania.”
Tom Wolf, Goevnor of Pennsylvania
This is following Governor Wolf’s action last year on the student loan debt relief Pennsylvanians received from the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program and the Pennsylvania Student Loan Relief for Nurses Program. | https://phl17.com/national-news/gov-wolf-says-student-loan-forgiveness-will-not-be-tax/ | 2022-09-01T20:19:15Z | https://phl17.com/national-news/gov-wolf-says-student-loan-forgiveness-will-not-be-tax/ | false |
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 don’t think there will be another birthday like today,” Peltola said.
“Really I’m just so grateful to Alaskans and all the Alaskans who put their faith in me to fill out the remainder of Congressman Young’s term,” she said in an interview. “My desire is to follow in Congressman Young’s legacy of representing all Alaskans, and I’m just looking forward to getting to work.”
Peltola’s victory, 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 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, followed by Palin and then Begich.
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. The number of registered voters who are unaffiliated 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 in the U.S. Senate and lost his 2014 reelection bid.
Alaska’s U.S. senators, Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, congratulated Peltola.
Murkowski said Peltola “has a long track record of public service to our great state.” Murkowski and Peltola were in the state Legislature together.

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Northeastern Pennsylvania is once again the focus of the political world this week.
President Joe Biden paid a visit to Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday and former President Donald Trump will hold a rally on Saturday at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
Political passions are running high across the nation and here in our region, Thursday Trump protestors were met by a counter-protest of Trump supporters.
The two groups came together and had times some heated debate but overall a peaceful exchange of political ideas.
Gene Stilp is a well-known Democratic activist he is known for stunts that catch the attention of the public to make a political point.
On Thursday he was in Wilkes-Barre Township to protest the Saturday visit of former President Donald Trump.
“We are going to see in the country that Trump basically going to be guilty of these crimes he’s being investigated for now. You’re going to see the downfall of trump very quickly,” stated Stilp.
Stilp also took aim at republican candidates who support trump and who are expected to speak at the rally on Saturday.
“Basically we want to represent Donald Trump, MAGA conservatives, people who are proud to be Americans. We are not hateful people. We are loving we want to accept everybody in the world and in our country. Especially local Democrats who don’t believe what the national Democrats are doing,” explained TJ Fitzgerald, MAGA conservative.
These folks say they are being misrepresented by many democratic leaders and the mainstream media and want to set the record straight that the protest included burning a trump flag.
“We just want to show the people we are basically here for the first amendment for the second amendment for making our country great again,” said Fitzgerald.
Both Stilp and the Trump supporters say there can be an open exchange of ideas without any trouble.
The arena complex opens at 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning the doors open at 2:00 p.m. Former President Trump is expected to speak at 7:00 p.m. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/protesters-and-supporters-emerge-amid-trumps-arrival/ | 2022-09-01T20:21:13Z | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/protesters-and-supporters-emerge-amid-trumps-arrival/ | true |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Baker Mayfield went to his denial play call.
Carolina’s starting quarterback said that he never said anything malicious about the Cleveland Browns, who traded him to the Panthers this summer.
“First, I didn’t say that,” Mayfield said following Wednesday’s practice. “Everybody is going to write what they want (because) there is history there the last four years.”
NFL Network analytics analyst Cynthia Frelund, who was working as a Buffalo Bills sideline reporter for Friday night’s preseason game against Carolina, said on a podcast that Mayfield had some choice words for his former team following the game.
Frelund said Mayfield said “I’m going to (expletive) them up, ” when talking about Panthers’ Sept. 11 season opener against the Browns while a guest on the “Around the NFL” podcast with Dan Hanzus, Marc Sessler and Gregg Rosenthal.
“I walked up to him and said, ‘I’m so excited to see you, like, go kick some butt,’ I didn’t say that word,” Frelund said with a laugh in the podcast. “… Go kick some butt, especially Week 1, I like cannot wait. And he uses some expletives and I was like, ‘I just hope you’re like ready.’ He was like, ’I’m gonna bleep them up.”
Mayfield said he was shocked to hear about the report on Tuesday.
“If I wasn’t wanting to win then there would be a really big issue of me being the quarterback here,” Mayfield said. “I want to win at everything I do and that will never change. That is not how I phrased it, that is not even what I said, so we will leave it at that.”
Mayfield said he did have a conversation after the game with Frelund, but said “All I did was agree — I hope we win. It’s pretty plain and simple. … I don’t think it should be harped on.”
Mayfield said it has become a big story because “I haven’t given the media what they wanted me to give them this offseason, so this is what they think that I’ve said, and it’s not.”
Frelund told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she should not have disclosed what was a private conversation on a podcast.
She said she was trying to be supportive of Mayfield and defend him.
The Browns traded Mayfield to the Panthers on July 6 after acquiring Deshaun Watson in a deal with the Houston Texans,
Cleveland agreed to pay $10.5 million of Mayfield’s scheduled $18.8 million contract. The Panthers will pay him $4.8 million this year, while Mayfield took a pay cut for the remaining portion of the contract to help facilitate the trade and get out of Cleveland.
Since being traded to Carolina, Mayfield has been careful in choosing his words in news conference settings when talking about the Browns.
He has said the game will mean a little extra to him, but nothing inflammatory.
“I have taken this approach this offseason to go about my business and let people say what they want and just control what I can,” Mayfield said. “I have always had fun playing football and that’s never going to change. I’m passionate about it and nobody can take that away from me. But off the field I have learned to keep it to the minimum and keep it within house and just talk to our guys and our people — that’s what matters.”
Cleveland’s All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett said Tuesday the Browns will use the comments as “motivation” and “fuel” for the game.
Garrett said he’s not surprised that his former teammate would say something to fire himself up.
“I know he has that swagger, that confidence that borders on arrogance in some people’s eyes,” Garrett said. “But he’s always played with a chip on his shoulder, and I think we have as an organization as well. So however he feels or goes about it in his mind scape to prepare for the game to play us at the highest level for him, it’s whatever.”
After spending one season with Mayfield, Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II is fully aware of the QB’s trash-talking abilities.
And like Garrett, Newsome said the Browns will use Mayfield’s comments for motivation.
“You try to find anything that can give you an edge,” Newsome said. “So something like that being said, whether he phrased it like that or not, we can just use that for our benefit and go out there and just try and get a win Week 1.”

NEW CASTLE, Colo. — A woman who was putting the lid on her hot tub was attacked by a bear in New Castle, Colorado.
"While fixing the lid, she noticed a bear coming out of a tree and charging at her," Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) stated.
The woman was able to get back inside and call 911.
According to police, once officers arrived at the scene, they found the woman, who had been swiped by a female bear. She had serious injuries to her arm, CPW stated. The woman was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital.
Police located four bears — a sow and her three cubs — all in close proximity to the home. They notified wildlife officials, which instructed police to shoot and kill the sow, which officers did.
Wildlife officers arrived in the neighborhood around 3 a.m. Based on the information known at the time, they could not determine if the sow or a cub had attacked the woman, and they decided to euthanize the three cubs upon finding them.
They found one cub and euthanized it. The two others were in a tree, but officers waited to euthanize them.
During the investigation, CPW determined the sow was the only bear involved in the attack, so the two other cubs were tranquilized and sent to a rehabilitation facility.
The sow and cubs had been spotted in the area previously, but did not show any aggressive behavior, officials said.
"We are deeply saddened by this incident and our hearts go out to the citizen that was attacked, as well as the bears involved," the police department said.

WATCH: Beagles rescued from breeding facility touch grass, feel the sun for the first time
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB/Gray News) - Moments of pure joy were caught on camera as a number of beagle pups, who had never experienced life outside a cage, got their first sniff of outside air and played on grass for the first time.
The 18 dogs had their life-changing experience Thursday at the Humane Society of Sarasota County, Florida, as reported by WWSB.
The 18-month-old pups were from a group of 4,000 beagles rescued from a medical breeding facility in Virginia and are soon on the way to their forever homes.
Anna Gonce, the Humane Society’s executive director, said the day was exactly what the organization tries to accomplish.
“You know, these guys were rescued from what was going to be a very miserable life,” she said. “And to be able to give them their first day outside, underneath the blue sky, and the grass and trees and just watch them play and be normal dogs is what we’ve been waiting for all week.”
The dogs were rescued earlier this year after the federal government began a civil enforcement case against Envigo RMS, which owned and operated a facility that breeds beagles for medical research.
After federal officials accused the company of a series of animal welfare violations, including allegedly killing animals instead of providing medical care, a judge issued a restraining order imposing a series of restrictions on the facility. In June, company officials announced plans to close it.
The Humane Society of the United States took on the task of caring for the rescued animals, disbursing them around the U.S. The Sarasota County chapter received 18 pups, who were quarantined for about seven days until Thursday when they were able to run free for the first time.
Lori Schook was one of the volunteers who helped get some of the dogs out of their cages.
“Some of them are scared, and some of them want all your attention,” she said. “But they’re so sweet. This is why I do this. I love it.”
Getting them adopted will not be a problem, according to Gonce. They’ve gotten about 400 applications for these 18 beagles.
“What’s amazing about these dogs is even though they lived in very terrible circumstances, you can see how much they trust people,” Gonce said. “So, as long as their adopters go slow, and just give them the time they need to adjust, and just realize that every single thing they’re doing is the first time they’ve ever done it, they are going to make wonderful family pets.”
All beagles will be neutered, microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated and receive other preventatives.
“You know, this is a happy day for us,” Gonce said. “It’s a happy day for the dog ... And that’s all we’re thinking about today.”

A plaque with the words "Ku Klux Klan" written below a hooded figure holding what appears to be a rifle currently hangs on a building at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York.
The marker referencing one of the country's most infamous hate groups is garnering attention due to a special commission formed to look into connections to the Confederacy at U.S. military bases and other properties.
Last year, the Naming Commission was charged with surveying Defense Department assets for ties to the Confederacy and making recommendations on how to rename or remove the references.
In a report released on Monday, the commission highlighted the presence of the Ku Klux Klan mounted marker at the entrance to Bartlett Hall, a science building at West Point, the U.S. Army's elite training school.
Though it noted that there are "clearly ties" between the KKK and the Confederacy, the plaque fell outside of its specific remit created by Congress, the commission said.
"The Commission encourages the Secretary of Defense to address DoD assets that highlight the KKK in Defense Memorialization processes and create a standard disposition requirement for such assets," the report said.
The KKK was formed in 1865 by six Confederate veterans of the Civil War and initially targeted Black people in the postwar South before also turning its hateful agenda against Jews, Catholics and others.
In a statement, the U.S. Military Academy's Public Affairs Office said the image is part of a large triptych that depicts the history of the U.S., and that the three bronze panels attempt to document "both tragedy and triumph" in America's past.
"Among many other symbols, the triptych also includes individuals who were instrumental in shaping principal events of that time, and symbols like the 'Tree of Life' that depict how our nation has flourished despite its tragedies," the statement said.
The academy added in a second statement that it was reviewing the naming commission's recommendations and would work with the Department of the Army to carry out any approved changes.
"West Point's mission is to develop leaders of character who internalize Army Values, the ideals of Duty, Honor, Country, and the Army Ethic," that statement said. "As a values-based institution, we are fully committed to creating a climate where everyone is treated with dignity and respect."
Why the U.S. government is reviewing names tied to the Confederacy
Though the commission concluded that the KKK plaque was beyond its purview, the eight-member body found other assets linked to the Confederacy at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
They included barracks, a housing area and a child development center at West Point named for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, as well as the superintendent's quarters and a road at the Naval Academy named after Confederate Adm. Franklin Buchanan, to name just a few.
Notably, the commission has made recommendations for renaming nine Army bases across the South with names tied to Confederate figures.
For example, Louisiana's Fort Polk would be renamed Fort Johnson in honor of William Henry Johnson, a Black soldier renowned for his heroics in World War I.
The commission also suggested renaming Fort Hood in Texas as Fort Cavazos after Richard E. Cavazos, the first Hispanic American to become a four-star general in the Army.
Early last year, Congress overrode President Trump's veto and passed a defense spending bill that included a provision requiring the renaming of military assets with names linked to the Confederacy. It followed the racial justice protests that erupted across the country in the summer of 2020.
The secretary of defense has the final say on renaming bases and other assets, and a plan is expected to be implemented by Jan. 1, 2024, according to the commission.

The pound continued its recent freefall amid continued worries over the UK’s economic outlook.
Equity traders were unable to cheer the weakness in the currency as shaky economic figures from China and the prospect of hefty rate rises across global economies kept the largest global markets firmly in the red.
Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG, said: “The runaway train of losses has rattled further down the track today, as the gloom among investors deepens.
“September has a mixed track record at best in the past 20 years, but this could be one of the worst months of the year so far if today is any guide.
“Investor pessimism has returned with a vengeance over the past week, and fears of a recession across the globe, and not just in Europe, means that a return to, and drop below, the June lows now seems likely for a host of markets.”
In London, the FTSE 250 closed in on almost two-year lows while the FTSE 100 slipped to its lowest for six weeks.
London’s top index ended the day down 135.65 points, or 1.86%, at 7,148.5.
The pound was down 0.63% against the dollar at 1.154 but was 0.38% higher against the euro at 1.159 at the close.
Elsewhere in Europe, the Dax fell to its lowest levels since mid-July after sentiment was impacted by weak PMI data from China.
The German Dax declined 1.6% by the end of the session and the French Cac finished 1.48% lower.
On Wall Street, the main markets opened sharply lower as lower-than-expected jobless claims data only added fuel to concerns it will embolden plans by central banks to hike interest rates.
In company news, Dettol maker Reckitt Benckiser saw shares stumble on Thursday after it said that chief executive Laxman Narasimhan will step down at the end of the month.
The consumer group said Mr Narasimhan will leave on September 30 to return to the States for “personal and family reasons”.
Shares in the company declined by 344p to 6,304p as a result.
Elsewhere, holiday firm Jet2 was among the day’s rare risers as it said customers were continuing to pick package holidays despite pressure on budgets.
The Yorkshire-based business reported that it has a strong winter ahead, with forward bookings matching levels in the same period in 2019.
Shares closed up 11.6p at 866p.
Meanwhile, hotel group PPHE saw shares dip despite reporting a sharp increase in revenues following the return of holidaymakers, with losses also narrowing over the past half-year.
Shares declined by 15p to 1,390p as the company told shareholders that inflationary pressures, such as rising energy prices, would provide headwinds against profitability into next year.
The price of oil slipped for the third session in a row amid concerns over the lockdown in Chengdu and weak PMI figures.
Brent crude oil dropped by 3.01% to 92.76 US dollars per barrel when the London markets closed.
The biggest risers in the FTSE 100 were JD Sports, up 1.45p at 114.4p, Pearson, up 10.6p at 873.4p, Centrica, up 0.78p at 76.52p, Avast, up 6.2p at 713.2p, and SSE, up 12p at 1,664.5p.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Texas woman who played a role in internet romance scams that cheated victims out of a total of about $2.6 million pleaded guilty Thursday to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud, federal prosecutors in Rhode Island said.
Dominique Golden, 31, of Houston, personally collected nearly $1.3 million in cash, checks, money orders, and wire transfers from people across the U.S. that was deposited into bank accounts opened under the names of fake people and businesses that she controlled, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Zachary Cunha.
Golden's alleged accomplices contacted victims via the internet and app-based communication platforms, cultivated the relationships, and convinced the victims that they needed money, prosecutors said.
Golden was aware that other members of the conspiracy contacted the victims for the sole purpose of perpetrating the scam, prosecutors said.
Under a plea agreement, Golden will forfeit assets derived from her criminal conduct, including two luxury cars, three handguns, three Rolex watches, and a 24-inch (61-centimeter) gold chain, prosecutors said.
In exchange, prosecutors said they would recommend a sentence at the low end of sentencing guidelines.
An email seeking comment was left with her attorney.

‘Outbursts’ from Pakistan’s melting glaciers have tripled this year and are worsening floods
By Kara Fox, CNN and Reuters
Pakistan is home to more glaciers than anywhere in the world outside the polar regions, but as the climate warms, it’s becoming more vulnerable to sudden outbursts of melting glacier water that have the power to bring widespread destruction to its people.
The country’s chief meteorologist has warned that this year alone, Pakistan has seen triple the usual amount of glacial lake outbursts — a sudden release of water from a lake fed by glacier melt — that can cause catastrophic flooding.
Sardar Sarfaraz from Pakistan’s Meterological Department said Thursday that there have been 16 such incidents in the country’s northern Gilgit-Baltistan region in 2022, compared with just five or six seen in previous years.
“Such incidents occur after glaciers melt due to [a] rise in temperature,” Sarfaraz told Reuters, adding: “Climate change is the basic reason for such things.”
Melting glaciers is one of the clearest, most visible signs of the climate crisis and one of its most direct consequences.
It’s not yet clear how much Pakistan’s current flooding crisis might be connected to glacial melt. But unless planet-warming emissions are reined in, Sarfaraz suggests that the country’s glaciers will continue to melt at speed.
“Global warming will not stop until we curtail greenhouse gasses and if global warming does not stop, these climate change effects will be on the rise,” he said.
Pakistan is responsible for less than 1% of the world’s planet-warming gases, according to European Union data, yet it is the eighth most vulnerable nation to the climate crisis, according to the Global Climate Risk Index.
That vulnerability has been on display for months, with record monsoon rains and melting glaciers in the country’s northern mountains triggering floods that have killed at least 1,191 people — including 399 children — since mid-June.
New flooding fears
On Thursday, southern Pakistan braced for more flooding as a surge of water flowed down the Indus river, compounding the devastation in a country a third of which is already inundated by the climate change induced disaster.
The United Nations has appealed for $160 million to help with what it has called an “unprecedented climate catastrophe.”
“We’re on a high alert as water arriving downstream from northern flooding is expected to enter the province over the next few days,” the spokesman of the Sindh provincial government, Murtaza Wahab, told Reuters.
Wahab said a flow of some 600,000 cubic feet per second was expected to swell the Indus, testing its flood defences.
Pakistan has received nearly 190% more rain than the 30-year average in the quarter from June to August, totalling 390.7mm (15.38 inches).
Sindh, with a population of 50 million, has been hardest hit, getting 466% more rain than the 30-year average.
Some parts of the province look like an inland sea with only occasional patches of trees or raised roads breaking the surface of the murky flood waters.
Hundreds of families have taken refugee on roads, the only dry land in sight for many of them.
Villagers rushed to meet a Reuters news team passing along one road near the town of Dadu on Thursday, begging for food or other help.
The floods have swept away homes, businesses, infrastructure and roads. Standing and stored crops have been destroyed and some two million acres (809,371 hectares) of farm land inundated.
The government says 33 million people, or 15% of the 220 million population, have been affected.
The National Disaster Management Authority said some 480,030 people have been displaced and are being looked after in camps but even those not forced from their homes face peril.
“More than three million children are in need of humanitarian assistance and at increased risk of waterborne diseases, drowning and malnutrition due to the most severe flooding in Pakistan’s recent history,” the UN children’s agency warned.
The World Health Organization said that more than 6.4 million people were in dire need of humanitarian aid.
Aid has started to arrive on planes loaded with food, tents and medicines, mostly from China, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.
Aid agencies have asked the government to allow food imports from neighboring India, across a largely closed border that has for decades been a front line of confrontation between the nuclear armed rivals.
The government has not indicated it is willing to open the border to Indian food imports.

Shares of energy companies fell alongside oil futures ahead of jobs data.
Oil fell sharply for the third straight session, closing near the lowest levels of the summer at around $86 a barrel.
A strong reading of August jobs growth Friday could put the Federal Reserve under pressure to raise interest rates further, which could weigh on oil and energy commodities. A weak reading, on the other hand, could confirm fears of a descending recession.
Indications of a slowing in hiring in a private employer survey from ADP was an "incrementally negative signal" ahead of the Labor Department report, said analysts at brokerage Goldman Sachs Group, in a note to clients.
French energy major TotalEnergies received a letter from Ukraine's government to waive a dividend worth hundreds of millions of dollars from a Russian natural-gas giant PAO Novatek.
Ravil Maganov, chairman of Russia's second-largest oil-and-gas giant, Lukoil, died after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, according to Russian state media agency TASS. Mr. Maganov was the second senior Lukoil executive to die suddenly in recent months.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Ukrainian player declined to shake hands with Victoria Azarenka after the three-time U.S. Open runner-up from Belarus beat her at Flushing Meadows on Thursday.
Marta Kostyuk waited at the net with her racket held up, which Azarenka tapped with her racket following her 6-2, 6-3 victory.
Belarus helped Russia launch its invasion of Ukraine in February, and Kostyuk said it had been on her mind since she saw the U.S. Open draw that she may have to play Azarenka in the second round.
“It’s pretty personal,” Kostyuk said. “It wasn’t a personal match for me because it was Vika specifically, but overall it was not just a casual match that I play in a tournament.”
Asked about the traditional handshake that follows a match, Kostyuk said: “I just don’t think it’s the right thing to do in the circumstances I’m in right now.”
Azarenka said she had already faced that situation with a Ukrainian player when she played Dayana Yastremska last month in Washington.
“It is what it is. I just move on,” Azarenka said. “I cannot force anybody to shake my hand. It’s their decision.”
Kostyuk said she texted Azarenka a day before the match to inform her there would be no handshake. Azarenka returned the text, telling Kostyuk she was no longer onsite, so Kostyuk dropped the subject because she wanted to deliver the message in person.
Azarenka said she reached out to all the Ukrainian players she has a relationship with in March after the invasion. Kostyuk isn’t one of them, but Azarenka said she tried nevertheless.
“Well, I’ve offered many times through the WTA, because I believe that there is a sort of sensitivity. I’ve been told that that’s not a good time,” Azarenka said.
“If Marta wants to speak with me, like she texted me yesterday, I replied. I’m open any time to listen, to try to understand, to sympathize. I believe that empathy in the moment like this is really important, which has, again, been my clear message in the beginning.”
Kostyuk questioned Azarenka being part of the “Tennis Plays for Peace Exhibition” that the U.S. Tennis Association held the week before the tournament to raise money for Ukraine. Azarenka was dropped from the lineup the day of the event, which helped generate more than $1 million for humanitarian assistance.
“Everyone is trying to be super democratic about this thing that happened and because it’s like, my nation is being killed daily, I’m going to tell you from my perspective very quickly so I don’t think I ever want to answer this question again,” Kostyuk said. “Imagine there is a World War II and there is a fundraiser for Jewish people and a German player wants to play. During the war, not 70 years after the war happened. During the war. I don’t think Jewish people would understand.”
Azarenka, a member of the WTA Tour players council, said the important thing was that the event was held, not whether she was part of it.
“I feel like I’ve had a very clear message from the beginning, is that I’m here to try to help, which I have done a lot,” Azarenka said. “Maybe not something that people see and that’s not what I do it for. I do it for people who in need, juniors who need clothes, other people who need money or other people who needed transportation or whatever. That’s what is important to me, to help people are in need.”
Russian and Belarussian players were banned from Wimbledon in response to the war. They are allowed to play at the U.S. Open, without their nations or their flags being listed.
