Iran briefly seizes 2 US sea drones in Red Sea amid tensions
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s navy seized two American sea drones in the Red Sea before letting them go Friday as U.S. warships neared, officials said, in the latest maritime incident involving the Navy’s new drone fleet in the Mideast.
Iranian state television aired footage it said came from the deck of the Iranian navy’s Jamaran destroyer, where lifejacket-wearing sailors examined two Saildrone Explorers. They tossed one overboard as another warship could be seen in the distance.
Iran has no coastline along the Red Sea, a crucial international waterway lying between the Arabian Peninsula and northeastern Africa.
State TV said the Iranian navy found “several unmanned spying vessels abandoned in the international maritime routes” on Thursday.
“After two warnings to an American destroyer to prevent possible incidents, Jamaran seized the two vessels,” state TV said. “After securing the international shipping waterway, the Naval Squadron No. 84 released the vessels in a safe area.”
It added: “The U.S Navy was warned to avoid repeating similar incidents in future.”
The U.S. Navy’s Mideast-based 5th Fleet identified the seized drones as Saildrone Explorers. Those drones are commercially available and used by a variety of clients, including scientists, to monitor open waters.
“The unmanned surface vessels were unarmed and taking unclassified photos of the surrounding environment while loitering in an assigned patrol area at least 4 nautical miles from the nearest maritime traffic lane,” the 5th Fleet said.
“The vessels posed no risk to naval traffic and had been operating in the general vicinity of the Southern Red Sea for more than 200 consecutive days without incident.”
The Navy’s guided-missile destroyers USS Nitze and USS Delbert D. Black responded to the seizure at 2 p.m. Thursday and each deployed MH-60 Sea Hawk helicopters, the 5th Fleet said. Iran ultimately released the drones at 8 a.m. Friday.
Initially, the Iranian sailors tried to cover the drones with tarps and deny they had them, a U.S. official said. Cameras on the drones also went missing during the incident, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss unpublicized details about the seizure.
This marks the second such incident in recent days as negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers hang in the balance.
The earlier incident that began Monday night involved Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, not its regular navy, and occurred in the Persian Gulf. The Guard towed a Saildrone Explorer before releasing it as an American warship trailed it. Iran had criticized the U.S. Navy for releasing a “Hollywood” video of the incident, only to do the same Friday in the Red Sea incident.
The 5th Fleet launched its unmanned Task Force 59 last year. Drones used by the Navy include ultra-endurance aerial surveillance drones, surface ships like the Sea Hawk and the Sea Hunter and smaller underwater drones that resemble torpedoes.
The 5th Fleet’s area of responsibility includes the crucial Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of all oil passes. It also stretches as far as the Red Sea reaches near the Suez Canal, the waterway in Egypt leading to the Mediterranean, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off Yemen.
The region has seen a series of maritime attacks in recent years.
Off Yemen in the Red Sea, bomb-laden drone boats and mines set adrift by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have damaged vessels amid that country’s yearslong war. Near the United Arab Emirates and the Strait of Hormuz, oil tankers have been seized by Iranian forces. Others have been attacked in incidents the Navy blames on Iran.
Those attacks came about a year after then-President Donald Trump’s 2018 decision to unilaterally withdraw from Iran’s nuclear deal, in which sanctions on Tehran were lifted in exchange for it drastically limiting its enrichment of uranium.
Negotiations to revive the accord now hang in the balance. The U.S. cast doubt Friday on Iran’s latest written response over the talks.
Iran now enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels as officials openly suggest Tehran could build a nuclear bomb if it wishes to. Iran has maintained its program is peaceful, though Western nations and international inspectors say Tehran had a military nuclear program up until 2003.

Thousands flee, several hurt as wildfire scorches California
WEED, Calif. (AP) — Thousands of people remained under evacuation orders Saturday after a wind-whipped wildfire raged through rural Northern California, injuring people and torching an unknown number of homes.
The fire that began Friday afternoon on or near a wood-products plant quickly blew into a neighborhood on the northern edge of Weed but then carried the flames away from the city of about 2,600.
Evacuees described heavy smoke and chunks of ash raining down.
Annie Peterson said she was sitting on the porch of her home near Roseburg Forest Products, which manufactures wood veneers, when “all of a sudden we heard a big boom and all that smoke was just rolling over toward us.”
Very quickly her home and about a dozen others were on fire. She said members of her church helped evacuate her and her son, who is immobile. She said the scene of smoke and flames looked like “the world was coming to an end.”
Suzi Brady, a Cal Fire spokeswoman, said several people were injured.
Allison Hendrickson, spokeswoman for Dignity Health North State hospitals, said two people were brought to Mercy Medical Center Mount Shasta. One was in stable condition and the other was transferred to UC Davis Medical Center, which has a burn unit.
Rebecca Taylor, communications director for Roseburg Forest Products based in Springfield, Oregon, said it is unclear if the fire started near or on company property. A large empty building at the edge of company property burned she said. All employees were evacuated, and none have reported injuries, she said.
The blaze, dubbed the Mill Fire, was pushed by 35-mph (56-kph) winds, and quickly engulfed 4 square miles (10.3 square kilometers) of ground.
The flames raced through tinder-dry grass, brush and timber. About 7,500 people in Weed and several nearby communities were under evacuation orders.
Dr. Deborah Higer, medical director at the Shasta View Nursing Center, said all 23 patients at the facility were evacuated, with 20 going to local hospitals and three staying at her own home, where hospital beds were set up.
Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for Siskyou County and said a federal grant had been received “to help ensure the availability of vital resources to suppressthe fire.”
At about the time the blaze started, power outages were reported that affected some 9,000 customers, and several thousand remained without electricity late into the night, according to an outage website for power company PacifiCorp, which said they were due to the wildfire.
It was the third large wildfire in as many days in California, which has been in the grip of a prolonged drought and is now sweltering under a heat wave that was expected to push temperatures past the 100-degree mark in many areas through Labor Day.
Thousands also were ordered to flee on Wednesday from a fire in Castaic north of Los Angeles and a blaze in eastern San Diego County near the Mexican border, where two people were severely burned and several homes were destroyed. Those blazes were 56% and 65% contained, respectively, and all evacuations had been lifted.
The heat taxed the state’s power grid as people tried to stay cool. For a fourth day, residents were asked to conserve power Saturday during late afternoon and evening hours.
The Mill Fire was burning about an hour’s drive from the Oregon state line. A few miles north of the blaze, a second fire erupted Friday near the community of Gazelle. The Mountain Fire has burned more than 2 square miles (6 square kilometers) but no injuries or building damage was reported.
The whole region has faced repeated devastating wildfires in recent years. The Mill Fire was only about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of where the McKinney Fire — the state’s deadliest of the year — erupted in late July. It killed four people and destroyed dozens of homes.
Olga Hood fled her Weed home on Friday as smoke was blowing over the next hill.
With the notorious gusts that tear through the town at the base of Mount Shasta, she didn’t wait for an evacuation order. She packed up her documents, medication and little else, said her granddaughter, Cynthia Jones.
“With the wind in Weed everything like that moves quickly. It’s bad,” her granddaughter, Cynthia Jones, said by phone from her home in Medford, Oregon. “It’s not uncommon to have 50 to 60 mph gusts on a normal day. I got blown into a creek as a kid.”
Hood’s home of nearly three decades was spared from a blaze last year and from the devastating Boles Fire that tore through town eight years ago, destroying more than 160 buildings, mostly homes.
Hood wept as she discussed the fire from a relative’s house in the hamlet of Granada, Jones said. She wasn’t able to gather photos that had been important to her late husband.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in state history.

Woman who lost her grandfather to Covid HAMMERS Daniel Andrews' government over its botched hotel quarantine program in a new TV ad
- Woman who lost grandfather to Covid blamed death on Premier Daniel Andrews
- Gina Haitidis slammed premier over bungled hotel quarantine program in 2020
- State's second lockdown was triggered after outbreak at hotel quarantine
A woman who lost her grandfather to Covid has blamed the death on Daniel Andrews and his bungled hotel quarantine program in a moving TV advertisement.
Gina Haitidis unloaded on the Victorian premier in the short 30-second video attacking his handling of the pandemic in 2020.
'We haven't forgotten. You caused the second lockdown,' she said.
'You let the virus out of your hotels, which killed 801 people, including my grandfather.'
The state's second lockdown was triggered after the government's quarantine hotels failed to contain Covid infections.
Gina Haitidis unloaded on the Victorian premier in the short 30-second video attacking his handling of the pandemic in 2020
'You let the virus out of your hotels, which killed 801 people, including my grandfather,' Ms Haitidis said of Victorian premier Daniel Andrews
The Coate inquiry later found poor health controls were in place at the hotels and the program was responsible for hundreds of deaths and 18,000 infections.
The inquiry heard evidence that 90 per cent of infections recorded between May and December in 2020 could be linked back to an outbreak at Rydges.
Ms Haitidis criticised the draconian lockdown with police enforcing the stay-at-home orders, residents confined to a five kilometre travel radius and playgrounds closed.
'Then you let the police treat us like criminals,' she said. 'And you robbed our kids of schools and of playgrounds.'
Ms Haitidis later told Herald Sun her grandfather had died in hospital on August 15.
The loss was made more devastating with police ensuring no more than 10 people attended the funeral - one of the restrictions at the time.
'Hotel quarantine was something that obviously went drastically wrong,' she said.
'But when the inquiry was to happen, that's when we got our hopes up … (we thought) now we're going to finally get some sort of answers to what's going on.
'There's consequences of those decisions and my family is one of those consequences.'
The advertisement comes as a class action against the Victorian government over its disastrous hotel quarantine program is given the green light.

Last Friday, Justice John Dixon dismissed the State of Victoria's application to dismiss the suit.
Lawyer Damian Scattini from Quinn Emanuel, who is leading the class action, said the ruling was an important win for business owners.
'When the Victorian government decided to run a mandatory hotel quarantine program, it took on a duty to ensure it was managed properly,' Mr Scattini said.
'If the hotel quarantine program had been handled competently by the people in charge, there would not have been a second lockdown.
'That lockdown decimated businesses and, through this class action, we are giving business owners a way to get back some of what they lost.'
He added: 'The class action relates to tens of thousands of businesses that provided goods or services to the public from bricks and mortar premises in Victoria and suffered financial loss because of Victoria's second lockdown.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11175521/Victorian-woman-slams-Daniel-Andrews-bungled-hotel-quarantine-TV-advertisement.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-03T07:11:20Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11175521/Victorian-woman-slams-Daniel-Andrews-bungled-hotel-quarantine-TV-advertisement.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
US Treasury says request for Hunter Biden records must come from Dem-led committee, not Republicans
That could change if Republicans take the majority in Congress this November in the Midterms
The United States Treasury will not hand over Hunter Biden’s financial information to Republican lawmakers as it claims the request must come through a committee with Democratic approval.
Republican lawmakers have been seeking information concerning "suspicious activity reports" on President Joe Biden’s son but the Treasury’s decision to require the request to go through a Democrat-controlled committee makes it virtually impossible.
These suspicious activity reports include large cash transactions or transfers above $5,000, Reuters reported. Such reports could indicate fraud or money laundering or they could also be legal.
The decision is the latest in a series of attempts by Republicans to get the information while the Treasury continues to deny their efforts.
In July, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., also the Ranking Member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, accused the Biden administration of changing standard operating rules to shield Hunter Biden from a potential Republican-led investigation.
"The Biden Administration is restricting Congress’ access to SARs, and Committee Republicans are investigating whether this change in longstanding policy is motivated by efforts to shield Hunter Biden and potentially President Biden from scrutiny," he wrote in a letter dated July 6, 2022.
In the letter, the Republican reiterated the request for the documents after the Treasury failed to hand over any "documents or information."
According to the report, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is requesting a statement of purpose for seeking the information and claims her refusal to comply "is not a political process."
"Since the beginning of this Administration, Treasury has made SARs available in response to authorized committee requests and continues to engage on the process with any individual members seeking information."
The Treasury has also claimed it has complied with turning over some pertinent information, though Rep. Comer contradicted this claim.
"It is troubling that the Biden Administration is willing to provide a false story to the media to create the appearance of transparency while continuing to thwart congressional oversight," he added.

July 3, 1942 - August 14, 2022
“Billy” or “Bill” or “Boppa”, age 80, passed away on August 14, 2022 in New Braunfels, Texas.
He was born in San Antonio, Texas to Frank Emil Grohman and Hattie M. Seidel Grohman. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by ten brothers and sisters - Mary, Joseph, Eleanor, Gerrard (Jerry), Betty Ann, Leroy, John Thomas (Tommy), Alphonsus, Marvin Del and Patrick.

He graduated from St. Gerard High School, he served his country in the Navy, returned home, worked a short time at USAA and then went to work for Guess Uniform starting as a routeman and working his way up to General Manager. He was a success in large part due to his good business sense, his desire to give outstanding service, his sense of humor, and his ability to make friends. The strong bonds he built with his customers and colleagues helped make Guess Uniform a success.
He was dedicated to his wife and children and took great pride in their happiness and success. He and Charmaine loved to have family and friends over for meals and cards. They entertained, fed, and gave love and emotional support to many of their children’s friends as well. He was warm and funny and sometimes “goofy” and loved most everyone and was easily loved by most everyone in return.
He loved and lived his Catholic faith. He led the altar servers and was a Eucharistic minister at Immaculate Conception in Marion and kept watch during Holy Hour at 1 a.m. in the morning many years in a row at St. Peter and St. Paul’s in New Braunfels. He loved his dominoes and cards; playing them anywhere the family gathered. He taught many family members the games he loved which they will remember the rest of their lives.
He was well taken care of at Sodalis/Mercy House in New Braunfels. The family would like to thank all who cared for him in his greatest time of need.
Bill will be sorely missed by all who knew him, but most especially his family. A visitation will be held Wednesday, September 7, 2022 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Zoeller Funeral Home, 615 Landa St, New Braunfels, Texas 78130 which will include a Rosary starting at 7:00 PM. A Holy Mass will occur Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 10:00 AM at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 386 N Castell Ave, New Braunfels, Texas 78130. A committal service with Navy honors will occur Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 11:00 AM at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery, Peace Ave, New Braunfels, Texas 78130.
In lieu of flowers Bill would want you to nurture your loved ones, remember the poor and know how much God loves you.

MOSCOW – Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who launched drastic reforms that helped end the Cold War and precipitated the breakup of the Soviet Union, is set to be buried Saturday in a relatively low-key ceremony snubbed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin's refusal to declare a state funeral reflects its uneasiness about the legacy of Gorbachev, who has been venerated worldwide for bringing down the Iron Curtain but reviled by many at home for the Soviet collapse and the ensuing economic meltdown that plunged millions into poverty.
On Thursday, Putin privately laid flowers at Gorbachev’s coffin at a Moscow hospital where he died. The Kremlin said the president’s busy schedule would prevent him from attending the funeral.
Asked what specific business will keep Putin busy on Saturday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the president will have a series of working meetings, an international phone call and needs to prepare for a business forum in Russia’s Far East he's scheduled to attend next week.
Gorbachev, who died Tuesday at the age of 91, will be buried at Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery next to his wife, Raisa, following a farewell ceremony at the Pillar Hall of the House of the Unions, an iconic mansion near the Kremlin that has served as the venue for state funerals since Soviet times.
Despite the choice of the prestigious venue, the Kremlin stopped short of calling it a state funeral, with Peskov saying the ceremony will have “elements” of one, such as honorary guards, and the government’s assistance in organizing it. He wouldn’t describe how it will differ from a full-fledged state funeral.
Declaring a state funeral for Gorbachev would have obliged Putin to attend it and would have required Moscow to invite foreign leaders, something that it was apparently reluctant to do amid soaring tensions with the West after sending troops to Ukraine.
The modest ceremony contrasted with a lavish 2007 state funeral given to Boris Yeltsin, Russia's first post-Soviet leader who anointed Putin as his preferred successor and set the stage for him to win the presidency by stepping down.
Putin, who once lamented the collapse of the Soviet Union as the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” has avoided explicit personal criticism of Gorbachev but has repeatedly blamed him for failing to secure written commitments from the West that would rule out NATO’s expansion eastward. The issue has marred Russia-West relations for decades and fomented tensions that exploded when the Russian leader sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.
In a carefully phrased letter of condolence released Wednesday avoiding explicit praise or criticism, Putin described Gorbachev as a man who left “an enormous impact on the course of world history.”
“He led the country during difficult and dramatic changes, amid large-scale foreign policy, economic and society challenges,” Putin said. “He deeply realized that reforms were necessary and tried to offer his solutions for the acute problems.”
The Kremlin’s ambivalence about Gorbachev was reflected in state television broadcasts, which described his worldwide acclaim and grand expectations generated by his reforms, but held him responsible for plunging the country into political turmoil and economic woes and failing to properly defend the country’s interests in talks with the West. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/09/03/gorbachev-to-be-buried-in-modest-funeral-snubbed-by-putin/ | 2022-09-03T07:21:23Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/09/03/gorbachev-to-be-buried-in-modest-funeral-snubbed-by-putin/ | false |
When Mikhail Gorbachev is buried Saturday at Moscow’s Novodevichy Cemetery, he will once again be next to his wife, Raisa, with whom he shared the world stage in a visibly close and loving marriage that was unprecedented for a Soviet leader.
“They were a true pair. She was a part of him, almost always at his side,” then-Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany said at Raisa’s funeral in 1999, where Gorbachev wept openly. “Much of what he achieved is simply unimaginable without his wife.”
Gorbachev’s very public devotion to his family broke the stuffy mold of previous Soviet leaders, just as his openness to political reform did.
“He loved a woman more than his work. I think he wouldn’t have been able to embrace her if his hands were stained with blood,” wrote Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov, editor of Russia’s leading independent newspaper, Novaya Gazeta. Co-owned by Gorbachev, it was forced to shut under official pressure after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
“We should always remember,” Muratov continued, “he loved a woman more than his work, he placed human rights above the state and he valued peaceful skies more than personal power.”
Gorbachev’s open attachment to his family also stands in stark contrast to the secrecy that surrounds the private life of Russia’s current leader, President Vladimir Putin.
For her part, Raisa Gorbacheva cut a bold figure for Soviet first ladies — more visible, with a direct way of speaking, a polished manner and fashionable clothes. A sociologist by training, she had met Mikhail at a Moscow university where they both studied.
“One day we took each other by the hand and went for a walk in the evening. And we walked like that for our whole life,” Gorbachev told Vogue magazine in 2013. Raisa accompanied him on his travels, and they discussed policy and politics together.
Her confident demeanor and prominent public role didn’t sit well with many Russians, who had also soured on Gorbachev and blamed his policies for the subsequent breakup of the Soviet Union. The couple won sympathy, however, in 1999, when it was revealed that Raisa was dying of leukemia. Her husband spoke daily with television reporters, and the sometimes lofty-sounding politician of old was suddenly seen as an emotional, grieving family man.
For more than two decades after she was gone, Gorbachev kept Raisa’s memory alive and embraced his status as a lonely widower.
He released a CD of seven romantic songs, “Songs for Raisa,” in 2009 on which he sang along with well-known Russian musician and guitarist Andrei Makarevich. Sales went to the charities Raisa had founded. A few years later, he published a book dedicated to her, “Alone with Myself.”
Their marriage even became the subject of a popular play in Moscow in 2021, “Gorbachev.” Its point was one noteworthy for Russia: that the country’s leader was a human being who prioritized family, friends and personal obligations. One scene recounted a key moment in Gorbachev’s career when he returned to Moscow after the failed communist coup against him in 1991. Raisa had had a stroke, and instead of immediately stepping back onto the political stage, he went to the hospital to be with her.
“I was not married to the country — Russia or the Soviet Union,” Gorbachev wrote in his memoirs. “I was married to my wife, and that night I went with her to the hospital.”
At the Moscow cemetery, a life-size statue of Raisa has stood for many years now over the grave intended for them both.
The Gorbachevs had a daughter, Irina, two granddaughters and a great-granddaughter. Despite his attachment to family, Gorbachev lived out his life in Russia while they live in Germany.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a businessman in the early post-Soviet days who now lives in exile in London, tweeted this week that one of Gorbachev’s great strengths was his ability to wash away “awe of the person on the throne,” and that his attention to family was part of that.
“With this he changed my life. And also by his attitude toward Raisa Maximovna — a second important lesson,” Khodorkovsky said, using Gorbacheva’s patronymic. “He went to her. Rest in peace.” | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/gorbachevs-marriage-like-his-politics-broke-the-mold/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-09-03T07:33:49Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/gorbachevs-marriage-like-his-politics-broke-the-mold/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | true |

Jackson-Olin’s Jabari Poellnitz had a good night.
The junior athlete caught a touchdown pass, returned a punt for a score and intercepted a Parker pass in the end zone to lead Jackson-Olin to a 25-7 upset of previously unbeaten Parker in the Class 6A, Region 5 opener for both teams.
“Last week we didn’t play good at all so we wanted to play better than last week and execute and make plays,” Poellnitz said. “I was able to help my team with three big plays tonight. I just believe that big-time players make big-time plays.”
Parker, playing without Kentucky running back commitment Khalifa Keith, was held in check throughout, managing only 116 yards of total offense with only 30 yards rushing on 23 attempts. Keith had run for 424 yards and seven touchdowns in two previous games.
After Jackson-Olin’s Thomas Baker ran 47 yards for a 7-0 lead with 7:19 left in the first quarter, Poellnitz crafted a masterpiece.
He took a Parker punt on the 25-yard line and started to the right then wound back to the left sideline for a touchdown and 13-0 Mustangs lead with 9:19 in the second quarter.
Parker scored on Malik Muhammad’s 17-yard pass to Jerald Reynolds, cutting the lead to 13-7 with 2:34 left in the second quarter.
The Thundering Herd (2-1) threatened again, driving to the Jackson-Olin end before Poellnitz intercepted a pass in the end zone in the final minute of the half.
Disaster struck again for Parker when Jackson-Olin’s Gary Madison picked up a Parker fumble and ran 15 yards for a touchdown with 3:14 left in the third quarter.
Poellnitz ended the scoring on another athletic play, this one on offense. With Jackson-Olin (2-1) facing third-and-15, Poellnitz leaped over a Parker defender to grab a pass from La’marius Byrd at the 4-yard line and dove into the end zone.
Jackson-Olin’s Byrd completed 3-of-10 passes for 45 yards and the TD to Poellnitz.
Parker’s Muhammad was 11-of-19 passing for 86 yards and a touchdown and two interceptions. | https://www.al.com/sports/2022/09/jabari-poellnitz-leads-jackson-olin-to-upset-over-khalifa-keith-less-parker.html | 2022-09-03T07:37:46Z | https://www.al.com/sports/2022/09/jabari-poellnitz-leads-jackson-olin-to-upset-over-khalifa-keith-less-parker.html | true |

Analysis: Let Serena define her legacy as she leaves tennis
NEW YORK (AP) - After all of the many tributes to Serena Williams were done, the celebratory words and the video montages, the standing ovations and the shouts of her name, it seemed appropriate that she herself would provide the defining look at her legacy.
So the last question at the news conference after her last match of the U.S. Open - and, it seems clear, of her career - offered Williams the chance to say how she´d most like to be remembered.
"I feel like I really brought something, and bring something, to tennis. The different looks. The fist pumps. The just crazy intensity. ... `Passion,´ I think, is a really good word. Just continuing through ups and downs," she responded Friday night. "I could go on and on. But I just honestly am so grateful that I had this moment - and that I´m Serena."
That captures so much about her so well.
And to think: Williams, who turns 41 this month, did not even mention anything about being an elite athlete or any of the statistics that help define what she did with a racket in her hand.
The 23 championships at the Grand Slam tournaments that have come to define success in her sport. Another 50 singles titles elsewhere. The 14 majors in doubles with her sister, Venus. The 319 weeks at No. 1. The four Olympic gold medals.

So, sure, it´s impossible to assess Williams without considering her place in the pantheon of superstars, as worthy as anyone - woman or man, this generation or any other, this sport or any other - of the honorific "Greatest of All Time" (one clever spectator at Williams´ 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-1 loss to Ajla Tomljanovic held up a poster with, simply, a drawing of a goat).
"She is an all-time great. Obviously, that´s an understatement," said Martina Navratilova, an 18-time major winner who certainly is part of that whole conversation.
But Williams is also about a lot more than that.
No Black woman had won a Slam title since Althea Gibson in the 1950s until Williams came along and collected her first at the 1999 U.S. Open at age 17. Over the more than two decades since, Williams and Venus, who earned seven major singles trophies of her own, get credit for inspiring Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka and countless of others to play tennis, yes, but also for pushing plenty of others to change their views about what can be done and what can´t.
"She embodies that no dream is too big," Tomljanovic said. "You can do anything if you believe in yourself, you love what you do and you have an incredible support system around you."
There´s more.
She won a Grand Slam title while pregnant, went through scary health complications after giving birth to her daughter, Olympia, in 2017, and would return to the tour and reach four more major finals.
She has a venture capital firm that raised more than $100 million.
"Everyone looks at her and tries to be like Serena," said Caroline Garcia, a Frenchwoman seeded 17th and into the fourth round at the U.S. Open. "And I´m sure that´s going to be for years to come."
Williams wore what she wanted on a tennis court. She reacted how she wanted, during and away from her matches. She said what she wanted, sometimes addressing social issues, sometimes not, but there always was a sense that she was the one who decided.
There were those who criticized her, of course. Those who wondered whether she was doing things the right way. Just as there were those who thought it was a mistake for her father, Richard, to keep his young daughters away from the junior tennis circuit.
Um, seems as if that worked out, huh?
"I will definitely (be) missing her on the courts," Tomljanovic said, surely echoing the thoughts of many. "It will not be the same."
No, tennis most definitely will not be the same without Williams. Not even close.
That´s OK, though. It´s time, as Williams famously wrote, for her to be "evolving" away from her days as a player. It´s time for her to devote extra energy to being a mom and a businesswomen and whatever else life brings her way.
As Williams observed after hitting one last shot: "I have such a bright future ahead of me."

Soccer-Every minute counts, says Australia's Gustavsson as World Cup looms
Sept 3 (Reuters) - Australia coach Tony Gustavsson believes his squad is in a race against time to complete preparations for next year's Women's World Cup but that home-field advantage can help push the team towards success.
The Australians will co-host the 32-team finals in July and August with neighbours New Zealand, and Gustavsson warned against complacency ahead of his side's latest preparation matches.
The Matildas lost the first of two matches against Olympic champions Canadians 1-0 on Saturday in front of a crowd of 25,016 at Lang Park in Brisbane. The teams meet again in Sydney on Tuesday.
"Everyone talks about 'it's almost a year to the World Cup'," Gustavsson told reporters.
"But we actually broke all the FIFA windows down and we have five FIFA windows, that means we have 46 days.
"Out of those 46 days, 14 days go to travel and recovery. That leaves us with 32 days. Out of those 32 days before the World Cup roster is announced, it's going to be 11 games and 11 pre-game sessions.
"That leaves us with 10 proper training sessions; 10 sessions where we can play 11 v 11 and work on all the details.
"That's how soon we're going to announce a roster (before) coming here and preparing for the World Cup.
"So it's around the corner. Every minute counts."
Gustavsson takes his team into the games against the Canadians with a host of key players missing as Ellie Carpenter, Hayley Raso, Steph Catley, Tameka Yallop, Chloe Logarzo, Caitlin Foord, and Kyah Simon are all sidelined.
The Australians have won only eight of the 24 games they have played since Gustavsson was appointed in 2020, but the Swedish coach called for more backing for his team from the country's sporting community.
"When you believe, it means you can achieve something that is more than expected of a team," he said.
"And the one thing (that) is for certain is I have this job because I believe in this team, and I know the process we're into, the players believe in the process, and believe in this team as well.
"Look at what England did in the Euros, for example, with the home nation supporting them. If we can believe, then it's going to be a very, very interesting World Cup."

Due to continuous-coordinated efforts, the state capital Lucknow is today being equipped with state-of-the-art urban facilities. People from different cities want to come here and make it their permanent residence, the chief minister said during the meeting, news agency PTI reported.
The pressure of population is increasing in the neighbouring districts as well and there are complaints of unplanned development at times. Keeping in view the needs of the future, Uttar Pradesh State Capital Region should be formed on the lines of National Capital Region (NCR), he said.
CM Adityanath asked officials to prepare a proposal in this regard and Lucknow and its surrounding districts like Unnao, Sitapur, Rae Bareli, Barabanki, Kanpur Nagar and Kanpur Dehat could be included in the SCR.
After deliberating on all aspects, a detailed action plan should be submitted as soon as possible, the chief minister said.
While deciding on the development projects, the situation arising in the next 50 years should be taken into consideration while authorities will have to consider doing their own financial management for their projects, he said.
Yogi Adityanath said the policy of zero tolerance against land mafia will continue and directed that strictest action on every complaint of illegal possession of land, be it government or private, should be taken.
Forceful possession of poor people's land by anyone will not be tolerated in Uttar Pradesh, he asserted.
He also called for working expeditiously on the action plan to develop Ayodhya as a solar city as it will give a unique identity to the city on the global stage.
The world will get a great message of energy conservation from Ayodhya, Adityanath added. | https://www.oneindia.com/amphtml/lucknow/up-to-form-scr-on-lines-of-delhi-ncr-yogi-adityanath-3456802.html | 2022-09-03T08:11:08Z | https://www.oneindia.com/amphtml/lucknow/up-to-form-scr-on-lines-of-delhi-ncr-yogi-adityanath-3456802.html | true |
BYD stock sale is an old-school value-investing move by Buffett
Berkshire has begun shedding BYD stock, dragging down the firm’s shares as traders feared an exit by its most notable backer. For BYD, with profit that just tripled and a nearly 30% share in China’s expanding electric-car manufacturing market, the stock sales struck some as puzzling.
When Berkshire Hathaway Inc. started trimming its stake in BYD Co., theories swirled about the prospects for China’s largest electric-vehicle maker. Turns out, it’s less about the company and more about Warren Buffett being Warren Buffett.
Berkshire has begun shedding BYD stock, dragging down the firm’s shares as traders feared an exit by its most notable backer. For BYD, with profit that just tripled and a nearly 30% share in China’s expanding electric-car manufacturing market, the stock sales struck some as puzzling.
But the share sales probably don’t reflect concerns about BYD’s fundamental business, and rather underscore the billionaire investor’s relentless focus on intrinsic value, according to analysts. Buffett, Berkshire’s chairman and chief executive officer, has made billions of dollars from the holding since he invested around $230 million in 2008. The stake is now worth north of $8 billion.
“Berkshire has benefited greatly from what BYD’s done -- they’ve made wonderful money,” said Cole Smead, president of investment firm Smead Capital Management. “He’s watched it grow and now based on the price the open market is giving right now, he’s saying: I’m willing to take money off the table to go elsewhere.”
Berkshire didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
BYD shares plunged 7.9% in Hong Kong on Wednesday, the most in seven weeks and the worst performance on the benchmark Hang Seng Index. The selling followed Berkshire’s filing to the exchange late Tuesday saying its holding of BYD’s Hong Kong-listed shares had fallen to 19.92% from 20.04% on Aug. 24.
Buffett is a disciple of the value strategy, which focuses on long-term intrinsic value with a goal of buying shares in good firms at reasonable prices. That way investors avoid fast-growing firms with expensive stocks and the fickle gyrations of the market. Berkshire has held stakes in Coca-Cola Co. and American Express Co. for decades.
It’s a strategy that’s served him well, with Berkshire shares outpacing the S&P 500 Index since 1965, when Buffett took over the company.
In recent years, though, analysts note there’s been more of a “trading component” to Berkshire’s equity portfolio, which Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler help run. Berkshire has held certain stocks for shorter periods, according to Meyer Shields, an analyst with Keefe Bruyette & Woods Inc.
“There’s an increased willingness to adjust things down when they’re less attractive,” Shields said. “Their sense is, if this is now above intrinsic value as we assess it, it may be good to sell the stock. Given where the BYD price is, that has to be the conclusion they’re drawing.”
Buffett has certainly ridden the BYD wave. Shares in the company gained 31% last year and surged 423% in 2020, as it benefited from China’s shift from gasoline and diesel-powered cars to electric vehicles. BYD also produces semiconductors and is now the world’s third-largest producer of batteries for EVs, with 14% of the market.
Theories about Buffett’s plans for the electric-car maker have percolated since a 20.49% stake -- identical to the size of Berkshire’s last reported BYD position in Hong Kong as of the end of June -- entered the Central Clearing and Settlement System in July, a sign to investors a sale may be imminent. That triggered the biggest slump in BYD stock in nearly two years.
The appearance of that stake in the clearinghouse likely means Buffett eventually intends to exit, according to Smead.
After trimming its stake further, Berkshire has now jettisoned 3.05 million BYD shares, or 1.4% of Buffett’s known 225-million-share holding. Its interest in BYD’s Hong Kong-listed stock has now fallen to 18.87% from 19.02%, with the latest securities sold for an average of HK$262.72 apiece. It’ll likely continue to sell chunks this way, Smead said.
“If your ultimate goal is to exit the investment altogether, it doesn’t look good in the eyes of the Chinese regulators for Buffett to come in and sell aggressively and disrupt the market,” he said. “If they want to do future investments with China, they are better off selling this way.”
Berkshire started investing in BYD after Buffett’s long-term business partner Charlie Munger -- who bought the stock with Himalaya Capital’s Chairman Li Lu -- recommended the investment. Li, once a contender to manage Berkshire’s investments and a BYD shareholder for more than a decade, cut his stake to about 5% last year, representing a 28% reduction.
Munger has been bullish on China, even amid worsening relations between Beijing and Washington. At Berkshire’s annual meeting this year, Munger said he invested in the country because he was “willing to take a little bit of risk to get into the better companies at the lower prices.”
Berkshire invests in BYD stock through its energy business, which also fully owns utility companies throughout the US. Energy is a “core pillar” of Berkshire’s operations, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matthew Palazola. Berkshire last month won approval from US regulators to buy as much as 50% of Occidental Petroleum Corp., after spending months snapping up its shares.
Whatever the fate of Berkshire’s BYD stake, Palazola estimates it represents about 2% of Berkshire’s investment portfolio.
“For moving the needle on the financials of Berkshire, it’s minuscule,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House counsel under then-President Donald Trump and his top deputy arrived at a federal courthouse on Friday to appear before a federal grand jury investigating efforts to undo the 2020 presidential election.
Pat Cipollone was the top White House lawyer at the end of the Trump administration as Trump and outside allies pressed for ways to overturn the Republican’s loss to Democrat Joe Biden, culminating in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Cipollone vigorously resisted efforts to undo the election and has said he did not believe there was sufficient fraud to have affected the outcome of the race. Trump has insisted the election was rife with fraud and was stolen from him despite the fact that numerous federal and local election officials of both parties, a long list of courts, top former campaign staffers and even his own attorney general have said there is no evidence of the fraud he alleges.
Cipollone and Patrick Philbin, a deputy White House counsel, also have cooperated with a separate House committee probe into the deadly Jan. 6 attack and attempts to subvert the election.
Their grand jury appearances underscore how Justice Department officials examining schemes to overturn the presidential contest have been seeking the cooperation of senior Trump White House officials and advisers who opposed those efforts.
Federal prosecutors have been especially focused on a scheme by Trump allies to elevate fake electors in key battleground states won by Biden as a way to subvert the vote. They have issued subpoenas in recent weeks to multiple state Republican Party chairmen.
Portions of Cipollone’s private interview to the House Jan. 6 committee were featured prominently in hearings over the summer. Lawmakers aired video clips of him discussing a heated December 2020 meeting at the White House during which outside aides and advisers to Trump talked about a proposed executive order calling for the seizure of voting machines.
“To have the federal government seize voting machines? That’s a terrible idea for the country. That’s not how we do things in the United States,” Cipollone testified, adding, “I don’t understand why we even have to tell you why that’s a bad idea for the country.”

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia said on Aug. 19 that it is attempting to aid foreigners who have been victimized by human traffickers, after Taiwan said it is seeking to free more than 300 of its citizens who were lured to the Southeast Asian nation by organized crime groups.
The mostly well-educated young people were promised high wages for tech jobs, but then were forced to work in call centers, scamming mainly mainland Chinese into making payments for non-existent government fees or investment opportunities.
Interior Minister Sar Kheng said his ministry is launching a nationwide check of all foreigners living in Cambodia, aside from embassy personnel. He said it will search especially for foreigners who have been victimized by human traffickers.
He said police in two provinces, Kandal and Preah Sihanoukville, checked the status of foreigners residing or working at hotels, rented properties and casinos last week.
Sar Kheng said several people were arrested on suspicion of organizing human trafficking and some apparent victims were taken into protection. Police were still trying to determine whether those who said they were victims were telling the truth, he said.
Sar Kheng did not specify how many people were rounded up or what their nationalities were, but confirmed that some foreigners told police that they had been attracted by what was portrayed as lawful jobs offering high salaries.
Upon arriving in Cambodia, however, they were forced to work illegally in jobs that were “not what they had agreed to,” Sar Kheng said.
Separately, Deputy National Police chief Gen. Chhay Sinarith said in recent years Cambodian authorities have uncovered numerous illegal online schemes that lured illegal workers, and have arrested hundreds of people from China and Taiwan for involvement.
Scammers, mainly from China, have used Cambodia as a base for extorting money, Chhay Sinarith said.
On Aug. 19, Taiwan’s government said 333 of its citizens were stuck in Cambodia after being lured by crime groups promising high wages for tech jobs, based on reports from families asking for help. The situation is complicated further because Cambodia is a close ally of China and refuses to recognize Taiwan or have any official contacts with the government in Taipei.
Taiwanese media have been reporting extensively on the plight of those trapped by the networks. Police at Taiwan’s main Taoyuan International Airport have been patrolling with signs warning of the dangers of bogus offers of high salaries in Southeast Asia.
Taiwanese authorities have also been reaching out to travel agencies to uncover the scams, and more than a dozen people have been arrested over recruitment schemes that aimed to dupe young people into jobs advertised as high-paying positions in computer engineering and similar fields.
It has also become a political issue, with the minority Nationalist Party accusing the governing Democratic Progressive Party of inaction on the matter. Premier Su Tseng-chang has called for diplomatic outreach and a crackdown on local criminal groups organizing the scams.
Nationalist Deputy Secretary General Lee Yen-hsiu said more public outreach is necessary to deal with the phony job offers. | https://nwasianweekly.com/2022/09/cambodia-says-its-helping-foreigners-scammed-by-traffickers/ | 2022-09-03T08:23:56Z | https://nwasianweekly.com/2022/09/cambodia-says-its-helping-foreigners-scammed-by-traffickers/ | true |

NEW DELHI (AP) — Hundreds of people held demonstrations on Aug. 27 in several parts of India to protest a recent government decision to free 11 men who had been jailed for life for gang raping a Muslim woman during India’s devastating 2002 religious riots.
The protesters in the country’s capital, New Delhi, chanted slogans and demanded the government in the western state of Gujarat rescind the decision. They also sang songs in solidarity with the victim.
Similar protests were also held in several other states.
The 11 men, released on suspended sentences on Aug. 15 when India celebrated 75 years of independence, were convicted in 2008 of rape, murder and unlawful assembly.
The victim, who is now in her 40s, recently said the decision by the Gujarat state government has left her numb and shaken her faith in justice.
The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify victims of sexual assault.
The victim was pregnant when she was brutally gang raped in communal violence in 2002 in Gujarat, which saw over 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, killed in some of the worst religious riots India has experienced since its independence from Britain in 1947. Seven members of the woman’s family, including her three-year-old daughter, were also killed in the violence.
“The whole country should demand an answer directly from the prime minister of this country,” said Kavita Krishnan, a prominent activist.
Officials in Gujarat, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party holds power, have said that the convicts’ application for remission was granted because they had completed over 14 years in jail. The men were eligible under a 1992 remission policy that was in effect at the time of their conviction, officials said. A newer version of the policy adopted in 2014 by the federal government prohibits remission release for those convicted of certain crimes, including rape and murder.
The riots have long hounded Modi, who was Gujarat’s top elected official at the time, amid allegations that authorities allowed and even encouraged the bloodshed. Modi has repeatedly denied having any role and the Supreme Court has said it found no evidence to prosecute him.
Asiya Qureshi, a young protester in New Delhi, said she participated in the demonstrations to seek justice for the victim.
“Modi gave a speech on 15th August on the safety and protection of women of India and the same day they released the rapists,” Qureshi said. “How am I safe in such a climate?“ | https://nwasianweekly.com/2022/09/protests-in-india-against-release-of-11-convicted-rapists/ | 2022-09-03T08:25:29Z | https://nwasianweekly.com/2022/09/protests-in-india-against-release-of-11-convicted-rapists/ | false |
Gorbachev to be buried in modest funeral snubbed by Putin
MOSCOW (AP) — Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who launched drastic reforms that helped end the Cold War and precipitated the breakup of the Soviet Union, is set to be buried Saturday in a relatively low-key ceremony snubbed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin’s refusal to declare a state funeral reflects its uneasiness about the legacy of Gorbachev, who has been venerated worldwide for bringing down the Iron Curtain but reviled by many at home for the Soviet collapse and the ensuing economic meltdown that plunged millions into poverty.
On Thursday, Putin privately laid flowers at Gorbachev’s coffin at a Moscow hospital where he died. The Kremlin said the president’s busy schedule would prevent him from attending the funeral.
Asked what specific business will keep Putin busy on Saturday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the president will have a series of working meetings, an international phone call and needs to prepare for a business forum in Russia’s Far East he’s scheduled to attend next week.
Gorbachev, who died Tuesday at the age of 91, will be buried at Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery next to his wife, Raisa, following a farewell ceremony at the Pillar Hall of the House of the Unions, an iconic mansion near the Kremlin that has served as the venue for state funerals since Soviet times.
Despite the choice of the prestigious venue, the Kremlin stopped short of calling it a state funeral, with Peskov saying the ceremony will have “elements” of one, such as honorary guards, and the government’s assistance in organizing it. He wouldn’t describe how it will differ from a full-fledged state funeral.
Declaring a state funeral for Gorbachev would have obliged Putin to attend it and would have required Moscow to invite foreign leaders, something that it was apparently reluctant to do amid soaring tensions with the West after sending troops to Ukraine.
The modest ceremony contrasted with a lavish 2007 state funeral given to Boris Yeltsin, Russia’s first post-Soviet leader who anointed Putin as his preferred successor and set the stage for him to win the presidency by stepping down.
Putin, who once lamented the collapse of the Soviet Union as the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” has avoided explicit personal criticism of Gorbachev but has repeatedly blamed him for failing to secure written commitments from the West that would rule out NATO’s expansion eastward. The issue has marred Russia-West relations for decades and fomented tensions that exploded when the Russian leader sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.
In a carefully phrased letter of condolence released Wednesday avoiding explicit praise or criticism, Putin described Gorbachev as a man who left “an enormous impact on the course of world history.”
“He led the country during difficult and dramatic changes, amid large-scale foreign policy, economic and society challenges,” Putin said. “He deeply realized that reforms were necessary and tried to offer his solutions for the acute problems.”
The Kremlin’s ambivalence about Gorbachev was reflected in state television broadcasts, which described his worldwide acclaim and grand expectations generated by his reforms, but held him responsible for plunging the country into political turmoil and economic woes and failing to properly defend the country’s interests in talks with the West.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Opposition politicians languishing in prison. Journalists and government critics harassed and arrested. Public meetings banned.
Zimbabwe’s general election is several months away but many opposition figures say they are already battling intense government repression similar to the iron-fisted rule of Robert Mugabe, the former president who died in 2019.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government is responding with force to opposition to his rule, stoked by worsening economic conditions including inflation at more than 250% and the emergence of a popular new party.
Among those suffering from the government's dragnet is opposition member of parliament Job Sikhala, who has been detained in the harsh Chikurubi prison near the capital, Harare, for close to three months on accusations of inciting violence.
The fiery 50-year-old Sikhala has been arrested more than 65 times in his two-decade political career but has never been convicted of any crime, say his lawyers.
Most recently Sikhala was arrested in June with more than two dozen other activists of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change, known as the CCC, and accused of fanning violence after skirmishes with ruling party supporters. Repeated attempts to get bail for him and the others have failed.
“The reason they have not been given bail is because they (prosecutors) know they will not get convicted. The idea is to make them serve," said lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa.
“They know they don’t have the evidence to prove the cases,” said Mtetwa, saying the government's legal tactics are “lawfare” to weaken political opponents.
Criticism of Mnangagwa's government has been stoked by Zimbabwe’s inflation, currently estimated to be one of the world’s highest and rising numbers of people pushed into informal trade such as street vending. More than two-thirds of Zimbabweans eke out a living in the informal sector, one of the highest rates in the world, according to the IMF.
Few of Zimbabwe's poor believe the recent introduction of gold coins as legal tender will improve their day-to-day hardships.
The CCC party, launched in January and led by Nelson Chamisa, 44, has attracted considerable attention and followers. In response, police in Harare and other cities have been banning the party's meetings, as well as gatherings of civic organizations and church groups perceived as government critics.
Dozens of people — including opposition supporters, political activists, journalists, church leaders, trade union members and student leaders — have been arrested and appear in court on various charges that legal experts say are harassment.
Mnangagwa's strategy to stay in power appears to be to use the police, military, and security forces to keep the opposition in turmoil until elections are held next year, say analysts.
“The current environment has worrying indicators of the possibility of yet another violent and contested electoral period,” noted the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum in a statement in August.
Zimbabwe is facing “a breakdown in the rule of law and constitutionalism; overt militarization of government, security sector brutality, political polarization, exclusion and violence, shrinking civic space and widespread human rights violations,” said the group.
In recent weeks Mnangagwa has called for peace while at the same time lambasting the opposition and accusing it of being sponsored by Western powers.
It's similar to the ways of Mugabe, who in his 37 years in power used harsh repression against all opposition. Although Mugabe was forced to resign in 2017, the same party remains in power.
ZANU-PF fought a bitter and bloody war throughout the 1970s, with backing from China, against the white-minority regime of Rhodesia. The guerilla movement won elections in 1980 and has ruled the country ever since, with a strong distrust of the West and multiparty politics.
“The complexities of Zimbabwe politics remain one where there was never a genuine transformation of the liberation movement of ZANU-PF into a political party suiting democratic dictates of the 21st century,” said Alexander Rusero, a Harare-based academic and political commentator.
“Liberation politics is informed by skepticism and binary characterization of citizens as either friends or enemies," he said. “ZANU-PF continues to classify opposition parties and civil society activists as stooges of the West. It will continue to use its power to crush them, just like what happened during Mugabe’s time.” | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Zimbabwe-government-harasses-opposition-with-17417104.php | 2022-09-03T08:34:17Z | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Zimbabwe-government-harasses-opposition-with-17417104.php | true |

'Not another one!' - Why history suggests new prime minister could be tempted to call a general election | Adam Boulton analysis
The Fixed-Term Parliament Act (FTPA) has been abolished, which means it will be effectively up to Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak whether they consolidate their victory with a general election.
Saturday 3 September 2022 09:12, UK
Whether it is Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak who becomes Conservative leader on Monday, they will be the third in six years to become UK prime minister by the grace and favour of the Tory party membership and without the other 99% of the electorate giving their endorsement at a general election.
Liz Truss, and most likely it will be her, will not have a "personal mandate" to lead the country.
Will she do what both Boris Johnson and Theresa May ended up doing and call a general election to cement her position? The precedents suggest that she may well.
Mrs May took over from David Cameron in July 2016.
Since he had only just won an election in 2015 and the Fixed-Term Parliament Act (FTPA) was in force, she could have stayed in Number 10 uncontested until the summer of 2020.
She repeatedly said she wasn't interested in an early election but then the Conservatives unexpectedly won a by-election in Copeland, with the then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn seemingly unsellable to many voters.
Mrs May could not resist the chance to bolster her grip on office.
She managed to call an election in spite of the FTPA in June 2017.
Brenda from Bristol was famously dismayed: "Oh, not another one!"
It did not end as well as Mrs May had hoped. The Conservatives' parliamentary majority was wiped out.
She was forced to do a deal to stay in power with the votes of the DUP. From then on she was on borrowed time.
Boris Johnson succeeded in forcing Mrs May out in July 2019.
He got her job but he also inherited her lack of a majority, made worse by the bitter divisions among Conservative MPs.
Once it became clear that he could not get what he wanted on Brexit through parliament, he and his then advisor Dominic Cummings went all out to force an election, which duly took place in December that year.
Under the rules an election was not due until the summer of 2022.
But buoyed by Mr Johnson's personal popularity, and Mr Corbyn's unpopularity, Mr Johnson was rewarded with a "stonking" Conservative working majority of 75-plus.
Mr Johnson made the case for an early election, Mrs May demonstrated the case against, then there is the unfortunate case of Gordon Brown who chose not to cash in on a boost in popularity when he took over from Tony Blair in 2007.
We will never know if he was right that he would not have done as well as the opinion polls suggested, though many in Labour still blame him for an opportunity missed.
Election not required until 2025
Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak will inherit Boris Johnson's comfortable majority in parliament and the prospect of over two years in power.
At the latest, the next general election does not have to take place until January 2025.
The FTPA has been abolished, which means it will be effectively up to the new leader whether there is an early poll.
During the campaign, the two candidates have given different answers on a possible early election.
Mr Sunak, the former chancellor, sidestepped the question saying that the new prime minister's "priority should be the economic challenge" and that in any case "we'll lose the election if inflation is rampant".
Liz Truss has been categorical in ruling it out. She assured the hustings in Cheltenham "I will not have an election before 2024" - and answered "no" to an early election in a quickfire debate.
But during the six weeks of this campaign, notably on handouts to offset energy costs, she has already shown that her word on the day is not necessarily her bond forever.
Recent polls suggest appetite for early vote
If an Ipsos poll for the Evening Standard last week is anything to go by, Brenda from Bristol is currently in a minority.
Perhaps because of outrage at the ousting of Mr Johnson, or perhaps because of outrage at his behaviour, a plurality, 51%, favour having a general election this year and that includes 40% of Conservative voters, more than the share of Tories who are opposed.
Standard arguments can be made for an early poll after a change of leader.
Cabinet Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg argued that there would "have to be a general election" if Boris Johnson was ousted because of the personal mandate he claimed Mr Johnson had won.
Mr Rees-Mogg subsequently emerged as a prominent Truss supporter and changed his tune when pressed on the need for an election by Talk TV's Kate McCann.
Leaders may also use the threat of an election to bring an unruly parliamentary party to heel.
This leadership campaign has already exposed deep disagreements over tax and spend policy.
It is not clear that either Ms Truss or Mr Sunak would be guaranteed a majority for the various emergency budgetary measures they have outlined.
Current opinion polls show a clear lead for the Labour Party, suggesting that an early election - perhaps even before Christmas - would be a kamikaze move.
But a credible demonstration that it was being considered would allow the new leader to say to his or her MPs: "Back me or you will go down with me."
Threats have recently had a habit of becoming a reality, at least at Westminster.
Labour sources are already letting it be known that they expect the new Tory leader and the Conservative Party to enjoy a boost in the polls.
This may be an insurance policy in the hope that it doesn't happen this time.
New leaders' popularity can be short-lived
New leaders usually do get a lift in popularity, though this may be short-lived.
In the difficult times ahead for the country, Prime Minister Truss will be tempted to exploit any boost she gets in an attempt to consolidate her hold on power.
She would be the first Conservative leader in modern times not to have been the first choice of either Tory MPs or her party membership.
Surveys showed clearly that the members wanted Penny Mordaunt or Kemi Badenoch as leader instead.
In the final round of voting, Mr Sunak was backed by 137 MPs - compared with 113 for Ms Truss and 105 for Ms Mordaunt.

Since Conservatives started choosing their leader this way, she would have the lowest ever level of backing by her MPs, 31.6%, compared with 38.6% for Mr Sunak, 51.3% for Mr Johnson, 60.5% for Mrs May, 45.5% for Mr Cameron and even 32.5%, for the ill-fated Iain Duncan Smith, who ended up being sacked by his own party. Interestingly IDS is tipped for a comeback in a Truss government.
If, and it is a big if, the Conservatives under Ms Truss pull into a clear lead in opinion polls, she may well be unable to resist the temptation of an early election.
With inflation reckoned to be heading towards 20% early next year, that looks like an unlikely scenario.
On the other hand, she has proven to be a risk-taker to get where she is now.
She could decide to gamble her chips before things get even worse. | https://news.sky.com/story/not-another-one-why-history-suggests-new-prime-minister-could-be-tempted-to-call-a-general-election-adam-boulton-analysis-12687770 | 2022-09-03T08:57:00Z | https://news.sky.com/story/not-another-one-why-history-suggests-new-prime-minister-could-be-tempted-to-call-a-general-election-adam-boulton-analysis-12687770 | false |
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Water pressure slowly improved in Mississippi’s capital city Friday but officials outlined numerous challenges and occasional setbacks as they worked to restore running water from the city’s aging, neglected water system to all in the city of 150,000.
A minor leak in an ammonia tank forced officials to cordon off a part of a water treatment plant late Thursday, Jim Craig, a state health official said Friday. Staffers at the plant are having to constantly account for changes in sediment and chemical levels in water taken into the system after recent torrential rains and flooding, Craig added.
“It’s like fixing the airplane while you’re still flying,” Craig said at a Friday evening news conference with Gov. Tate Reeves.
Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba noted at one news conference that, once pressure is restored, there are worries about the strain on aging, brittle pipes.
And even when water is running again, it’s unclear when it will be drinkable.
Last week’s rains, followed by flooding of the Pearl River, exacerbated long-standing problems at the O.B. Curtis treatment plant, leading to a drop in pressure throughout Jackson, where residents were already under a month-old boil-water order due to poor water quality.
The problems led to a Monday emergency declaration by the Republican governor and a disaster declaration from President Joe Biden. Biden’s infrastructure coordinator, Mitch Landrieu, and Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Deanne Criswell were in Jackson for a firsthand look at the problem Friday.
“This is a true testament to President Biden’s commitment,” Criswell said at an evening news conference with Reeves and other state officials. She toured the main water treatment plant earlier in the day with Reeves.
“Many are now experiencing normal pressure. Areas further from the plant and at higher elevations may still be experiencing low to no pressure,” the city said Friday morning.
But, among the setbacks: pressure dropped a bit at one point as treatment plant staffers had to deal with chemical imbalances in the water, Craig said Friday evening.
It’s all a continuing strain on residents, like 64-year-old Mary Gaines, a resident at a complex for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
“It’s a very nice place to live. We just ain’t got no water,” Gaines said. “And most senior citizens ain’t got no car, so we have to get water wherever we can.”
At his news conference Friday, the Republican governor repeatedly stressed what he called a unified state, federal and local response to the crisis, discounting any suggestion of a rift with the mayor or president, both Democrats.
He thanked Criswell and Landrieu for the help and noted that Biden had “quickly signed” a disaster declaration. Lumumba had not been invited to a Reeves news conference Monday as the crisis was unfolding and he was not at the Friday news conference. But he appeared with Reeves earlier in the day during a water plant tour and was part of a Thursday news conference.
Reeves didn’t address and hasn’t commented on remarks Biden made to reporters at the White House late Thursday.
“We’ve offered every single thing available to Mississippi. The governor has to act,” Biden told reporters. “There’s money to deal with this problem. We’ve given them EPA. We’ve given them everything there is to offer.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to elaborate on Biden’s remarks Friday. She confirmed that Biden and Reeves haven’t spoken to each other about the crisis, but downplayed the lack of a call, saying it was “not necessary to further any progress in this situation.”
Statewide, there is about $75 million specifically for water resources available through a bipartisan infrastructure law signed by Biden last year, Jean-Pierre said.
Biden was asked Friday whether he would visit Mississippi and said he had no plans to. Biden said he has been talking to people in Mississippi including Lumumba.
Residents in Jackson have long struggled with a faulty water system before the latest crisis.
The National Guard has been called to help with water distribution. The state emergency agency said close to 2.8 million bottles of water were handed out from midday Thursday to Friday afternoon. Non-potable water, for toilet flushing and other uses, was also being offered to people who brought their own containers to some sites.
The entire city had been without water or with low pressure at one point. Figures on how many homes and businesses had service restore were not available.

Climate adviser to depart White House
Gina McCarthy is planning to leave her post as the White House's national climate adviser this month, a departure coming not long after President Joe Biden signed into law a major piece of climate legislation.
The long-tenured environmental policymaker for Democratic administrations is capping a career in government nearly two years into Biden's term, during which his administration issued a slew of regulations reining in greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles, air conditioners and other sources, in addition to passing nearly $370 billion in clean-energy tax incentives and other programs intended to combat climate change.
Her last day on the job will be Sept. 16. She will be succeeded by her deputy, Ali Zaidi.
"Gina is indeed leaving us," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Friday. "She, as you know, has been a leader in what we have seen as one of the largest investments in dealing with climate change."
Her long-anticipated exit comes after she played a key role in coordinating government agencies in a united climate agenda. She has served as Biden's top domestic climate adviser while John Kerry, a former secretary of state and senator, has acted as Biden's chief climate envoy internationally.
Before joining the Biden administration, she ran the Natural Resources Defense Council and served as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under President Barack Obama.
Biden appoints clean-energy official
WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden will appoint John Podesta, a veteran Washington insider who spearheaded the Obama administration's climate strategy, to oversee the federal investment of $370 billion in clean energy under the landmark new climate law.
As a senior adviser to Biden on clean energy innovation, Podesta will shape how the government disperses billions of dollars in tax credits and incentives to industries that are developing wind and solar energy, as well as to consumers who want to install solar panels, heat and cool their homes with electric heat pumps, or buy electric vehicles.
In addition to his time in the Obama administration, Podesta served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and was chair of Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016. He founded the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank, and is now chair of its board. From that perch, Podesta has informally been advising the Biden administration.
"His deep roots in climate and clean energy policy and his experience at senior levels of government mean we can truly hit the ground running," Biden said.
Podesta will begin work at the White House on Tuesday.
Podesta described his new job as "throwing the weight of federal government policy behind a cycle of investment and innovation that we haven't seen before in the United States, and that is almost unique in the world."
He said the opportunity "was worth coming out of retirement for."
Season's 1st hurricane forms in Atlantic
MIAMI -- Tropical Storm Danielle strengthened into a hurricane Friday morning -- the first of an unusually quiet storm season.
The storm is not currently a threat to any land.
The storm's maximum sustained winds were clocked at 75 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
The storm was centered about 885 miles west of the Azores and was drifting west at about 1 mph. The hurricane center said the storm is expected to meander in the Atlantic over the next few days.
Danielle comes amid what has been a calm hurricane season. It's the first time since 1941 that the Atlantic went from July 3 to the end of August with no named storm, Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach said.
There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
Boat fire manslaughter charge tossed
LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles federal judge threw out an indictment Friday charging a dive boat captain with manslaughter in the deaths of 34 people in a 2019 fire aboard a vessel anchored off the Southern California coast.
The ruling came on the third anniversary of one of the deadliest maritime disasters in recent U.S. history as the Conception went down in flames Sept. 2, 2019, near an island off the coast of Santa Barbara. All 33 passengers and a crew member, who were trapped in a bunk room below deck, died.
Captain Jerry Boylan, 68, failed to follow safety rules, federal prosecutors said. He was accused of "misconduct, negligence and inattention" by failing to train his crew, conduct fire drills and have a roving night watchman on the boat when the fire ignited.
But the indictment failed to specify that Boylan acted with gross negligence, which U.S. District Judge George Wu said was a required element to prove the crime of seaman's manslaughter and must be listed in the indictment. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/03/climate-adviser-to-depart-white-house/ | 2022-09-03T09:10:52Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/03/climate-adviser-to-depart-white-house/ | true |

NEW YORK -- Serena Williams lost what is expected to be the last match of her transcendent tennis career Friday night, eliminated from the U.S. Open in the third round by Ajla Tomljanovic 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-1 before an electric crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Unwilling to go quietly, Williams staved off five match points to prolong the three-hours-plus proceedings, as some spectators stood to watch, camera phones at the ready. No one -- save, of course, Tomljanovic -- wanted this to end.
It did on Tomljanovic's sixth chance, when Williams netted a shot.
Williams turns 41 this month and recently told the world that she is ready to start "evolving" away from her playing days -- she expressed distaste for the word "retirement" -- and while she has remained purposely vague about whether this appearance at Flushing Meadows definitely would represent her final tournament, everyone assumes it will be.
It was treated that way Friday night, and Williams cried on court immediately afterward. Asked whether she might reconsider, she replied: "I don't think so, but you never know."
If this was, indeed, the last hurrah, she took her fans on a thrill-a-minute throwback ride at the hard-court tournament that was the site of a half-dozen of her 23 Grand Slam championships. The first came in 1999 in New York, when Williams was just 17.
But she faltered against Tomljanovic, a 29-year-old Australian who is ranked 46th.
Williams gave away leads in each set, including the last, in which she was up 1-0 before dropping the final six games.
Andy Murray's latest Week 1 exit at a Grand Slam tournament did not discourage him. The three-time major champion still thinks he can go toe-to-toe with the best in men's tennis -- even after two hip operations, even as the years without a trip past the third round at any of the sport's biggest events stretch on.
After bowing out at that stage of the U.S. Open with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (1), 6-3 loss across more than 3 1/2 hours against 2021 Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini on Friday, Murray chose to look on the bright side.
"I've got a metal hip. It's not easy playing with that. It's really difficult. I'm surprised I'm still able to compete with guys that are right up at the top of the game," the 35-year-old Murray said, resting his head on his left hand. "Matches like this, I'm really proud that I have worked myself into a position where I'm able to do that. I'm really disappointed that I didn't get over the line today. But I get reminded, like, 'This is the first time you've made the third round here since 2016.' It's been six years. It's been a difficult six years for me."
Coco Gauff, an 18-year-old American who reached the final at the French Open in June, made it to the fourth round at the U.S. Open for the first time with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Madison Keys, the 2017 runner-up in New York and seeded 20th this year.
Gauff now meets Zhang Shuai, who eliminated Rebecca Marino 6-2, 6-4.
In other action during the day session, Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur came back to defeat No. 31 Shelby Rogers 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 and avoid the sort of early exit by a high-seeded woman that has filled the first week of play at the year's last major. No. 2 Anett Kontaveit (who lost to Williams), No. 3 Maria Sakkari and No. 4 Paula Badosa are all already gone, as are 2021 champion Emma Raducanu and 2021 runner-up Leylah Fernandez; No. 1 Iga Swiatek and No. 5 Jabeur have offered a bit of the expected.
Jabeur reached the fourth round in New York for the first time after going 0-3 in the third round since 2019.
"Finally," Jabeur said. "I know that I don't play the best on hard courts, but it's always amazing to see how I'm improving, how I'm pushing my limits."
She next plays No. 18 Veronika Kudermetova, who needed just 47 minutes to overwhelm Dalma Galfi 6-2, 6-0.
In the men's bracket, French Open runner-up Casper Ruud edged 29th-seeded Tommy Paul in five sets, while No. 27 Karen Khachanov moved on when his opponent, Jack Draper, stopped playing in the third set because of an injured hamstring.
The 13th-seeded Berrettini advanced to face Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Sunday by hitting more aces than the unseeded Murray, 18-5, delivering far more total winners, 55-24, and accumulating 15 break points, converting five, while facing only four.

Geelong have beaten Collingwood to advance to the preliminary finals after a stunning contest at the MCG.
The Pies - widely regarded as experts in winning close contests - had led for much of the contest in front of over 90,000 fans, but it was Geelong's experience that came to the fore as the Cats scored with just over 60 seconds remaining to seal a one-goal victory.
It means that the winner of tonight's elimination final will face Craig McRae's side in the semi finals next week.

New Delhi, September 2
The Supreme Court on Friday turned down BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari’s plea for the transfer of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s election petition out of the state, saying it can’t allow the choice of high court to him.
Adhikari had defeated Banerjee from the Nandigram constituency by a margin of 1,956 votes in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections. Banerjee has challenged his election before the Calcutta High Court.
“We can’t allow the choice of high court,” a Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud told Adhikari’s counsel. As the Bench was not ready to transfer the case outside West Bengal, Adhikari’s counsel chose to withdraw the petition.
The Calcutta High Court had in July 2021 issued notice to Adhikari and ordered that the records and papers in relation to the election be preserved during the pendency of the petition. In November last year, the HC had adjourned the hearing after Adhikari moved the top court.

The 2021 season was anything but normal for McDaniel football.
The Green Terror hadn’t touched the football field since 2019, as the 2020 season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Back on the field last year, the Green Terror struggled to find consistency, finishing with a 2-8 record including going 2-7 in Centennial Conference play. It was the 10th straight losing season for McDaniel.
With the 2022 season starting Saturday against Catholic University and a full, uninterrupted offseason under their belts, head coach Demarcus White has his sights set on changing the tone around this program.
“Where we’re at right now as a program, it’s going to be some good days, it’s going to be some bad day and it’s going to be some ugly days,” White said. “There’s been some flashes in there with some newcomers and older guys who have improved themselves. Overall, I’m just looking for execution throughout the program, starting with me.”
White is entering his third season as McDaniel’s head coach, but 2022 should be the first fully normal season since 2019, one that saw the Green Terror start hot out of the gates.
McDaniel returns a number of top producers from 2021, including three of its top five running backs and its top seven receivers.
One of the biggest question marks comes at quarterback after John Allan Furgeson’s graduation. That’s given way to a five-man competition in camp between a number of new faces.
Whoever gets the starting nod will have many weapons alongside him.
“Dre Carter is going to be our starting tailback,” White said. “He’s having a really good camp so far. Two more guys, Hunter Sigler and Matteo DeGennaro, two tall receivers that can stretch the field. Those three will help out this team a bunch.”
The defensive side is where McDaniel excels and of those returning this year, grad student Sam Welcher highlights the group. Welcher, a second team All-Centennial Conference selection last season, was third in the Centennial last season with nine sacks in addition to 40 tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss.
Carroll County Daily Headlines
There’s definitely an influx of youth on this team, especially on defense, but experience at the top helps with six seniors/fifth-years anchoring the defense.
That healthy mix of experience and fresh legs is perfect for what the Green Terror are looking to run at opposing offenses.
“We want to be an attacking-style defense,” defensive coordinator Tyrone Saterfield said. “We want to put pressure on offenses and we really want to dictate the pace of the game. Our formula is swarm, punish and take away. If we do those three things well, we can set the tone early.”
That game plan is going to be a tough task in a conference like the Centennial, which has two teams currently ranked in the Division III Top 25 and two that received votes. McDaniel plays three of those four schools during the season, so the work cut out for the Green Terror.
But for now, all eyes for this program are focused on Saturday’s season and home opener against the Cardinals, a team McDaniel was blown out by in last year’s season opener.
Last season is in the past and the Green Terror is looking to rewrite some scripts in 2022 to work its way back to being a successful program.
“We’re very hungry,” Saterfield said. “We’re chomping at the bit. We’re going to celebrate success. Everybody is really on one string. We’re gelling together and we’re ready to get a different color jersey in here and get after it.” | https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/sports/cc-sp-mcdaniel-football-preview-20220903-2j7kesumxzff3kps5l46iit5xu-story.html | 2022-09-03T09:36:32Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/sports/cc-sp-mcdaniel-football-preview-20220903-2j7kesumxzff3kps5l46iit5xu-story.html | false |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was walking down the street when he heard it — the blood-curdling sound of children being ruthlessly exposed to diversity.
Faster than you can say "political hack," he ducked behind a handy mango tree. Moments later, gone was the mild-mannered governor of a great southeastern state. In his place, clad in the teal unitard and pink cape that strike terror in purveyors of compassion everywhere, stood ... Captain Florida!
The sunshine avenger scanned the horizon with his opportunistic vision until he spotted the source of the sound. There, in a middle school, the Woke Monster towered over two boys.
"You know," the Woke Monster was saying, "it shouldn't matter if another kid is gay or transgender, should it? What matters is what kind of person they are."
The boys never got to respond, because at that precise moment, Captain Florida came crashing through the window. "Eat restrictive legislation!" he cried as he slugged the Woke Monster.
"But...," the Woke Monster gasped, "I was ... just ... trying to teach the kids ... tolerance!"
"Not on my watch!" snarled Captain Florida as, with another mighty blow, he vanquished the Woke Monster, as another teacher decided she'd rather get her real estate license.
"We must fight the woke in our schools," declared Captain Florida, as the teacher gave notice. "We must fight the woke in our businesses. We must fight the woke in government agencies. We can never, ever surrender..." Which is an actual thing the actual governor actually said, sounding not unlike Winston Churchill. ("We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds. ... We shall never surrender.")
Except, of course, Churchill was only talking about Nazis. He didn't know about real threats, like "woke."
But Captain Florida did. And now he posed with arms akimbo, scanning the horizon for new dangers. The kids gaped.
"Who's going to teach us math?" asked the first boy.
"Wait a minute," said the second boy. "Captain Florida, aren't you the one who attacked that Miami restaurant for hosting a Sunday brunch where drag queens perform?"
"Yes," said Captain Florida, "I did fight the Legion of Cross Dressers."
"And didn't your election cops just arrest some former felons for voting," asked the first boy, "even after the state told them they could?"
"Dr. Voting Fraud. One of my toughest foes."
"And you even picked a fight with Disney World, didn't you?" It was the second boy again. "They opposed your 'Don't say gay' bill."
"Ah, Mr. Mouse. A worthy opponent."
"My dad thinks you're a jackass," said the first boy.
Captain Florida gave him a sharp look. "Your father doesn't understand my mission. I fight for freedom."
"But who's going to teach us math?" the boy demanded again.
Captain Florida wasn't listening. "You see, boys, someday I want to do for America what I've done for Florida."
"But my dad says all you've done is bully LGBTQ people, people of color and other vulnerable Floridians because you want those MAGA lunatics to elect you president."
"Exactly. Ever since I was bitten by that radioactive ambition, I have lived my life by a simple creed."
"What's that?"
Captain Florida returned his steely gaze to the far horizon. "With great power comes great opportunism."

(iSeeCars) – A vehicle’s Check Engine light can turn any car ride into a harrowing experience. As soon as the check engine light illuminates, it’s hard not to hear the cha-ching sound of a cash register right along with it.
If the engine stops, so does the vehicle. That’s what can make the check engine light warning so scary. However, it’s important to understand that a Check Engine light can often be caused by something very simple. Let’s run through some of the main reasons your Check Engine light might be on so you have a better understanding of what your vehicle is trying to tell you.
What Your Check Engine Light Means
When your check engine light turns on, one or more onboard diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the car’s computer. To diagnose what’s triggering your check engine light, you can retrieve the codes by using an OBD-II scanner. This can be done by a mechanic, or you can purchase a code reader from an auto parts store. Even if you use your own code reader to see what may be causing the problem, you should still get the problem diagnosed by a professional.
Be sure not to confuse your check engine light with other warning lights that may appear on your dashboard. You can refer to your vehicle’s manual for what some other warning lights mean, and what your check engine light will appear as. Sometimes it’s just an image of an engine, while others will have “check engine” along with it. You may also see a warning light that says “Service Engine Soon,” which can easily be confused for the check engine light and simply means that your vehicle is due for routine maintenance such as an oil change, brake inspection, or timing belt replacement. These warnings typically occur at regular mileage intervals such as when your odometer reaches 30,000, 60,000, and 100,000 miles.
What To Do When Your Check Engine Light Comes On
Various problems can change how the check engine light appears. Here are some common scenarios as a guide:
1. The check engine light flickers or appears under certain conditions.
This means that there is only a problem during some driving conditions. Does the vehicle run differently when the light is on? If you notice a difference in performance, take the car to a mechanic immediately. If you don’t notice a change in vehicle performance, you can safely drive home, but it should be seen by a professional as quickly as possible.
2. The check engine light remains on.
If your check engine light stays on continuously and there are no noticeable problems with the car’s performance, there’s likely a problem with the emissions system. You should get the car professionally serviced as soon as possible, but immediate towing is not required.
3. The check engine light stays on with performance problems.
This indicates that your vehicle has a serious problem that likely involves a component or system needed for the vehicle to operate properly. If engine power is clearly reduced the vehicle might have gone into “limp mode”, which essentially means the engine is trying to protect itself by offering a bare minimum of power. In this case, you should pull over to a safe spot and have your vehicle towed to a dealer or repair shop.
4. The check engine light continually blinks in a pattern.
This scenario likely indicates that there’s a severe failure of the vehicle’s emission control system that’s causing the engine to misfire. This could indicate that the catalytic converter is overheating which could lead to a fire under the vehicle. In this case, you should pull over immediately and have your vehicle towed to a dealer or professional mechanic.
Common Causes for a Check Engine Light:
1. Loose Gas Cap
Something as benign as a loose gas cap can trigger your Check Engine light. That’s because the most common reason for a Check Engine light is from emissions system problems. Your fuel system is a pressurized system. The vehicle’s computer is monitoring that pressure at all times when your vehicle is running. If you leave your fuel cap off or loose (even by half a turn) it can trigger an emissions code in your vehicle’s computer. This, in turn, will cause the computer to turn on your Check Engine light. So, the first thing you should do if your light comes on is stop your vehicle somewhere safe, turn it off, and check your fuel cap. If it’s loose, put it back on and off automatically after a few moments. A worn or defective fuel cap can also cause this problem.
2. Malfunctioning Oxygen Sensors
Your oxygen sensors are another emissions system part that will trigger your Check Engine light. Ironically, they aren’t really attached to the engine. They are screwed into your exhaust system in various places to monitor the air coming out of your engine. They tell your computer if your air/fuel mixture is running rich or lean. Most cars today have at least two sensors, one before the catalytic converter and one after (this is to monitor the air on both sides to see if the converter is also doing its job), while some vehicles have several for redundancy’s sake. Each sensor is electronically connected to your computer. If the sensor fails, becomes clogged, or if it gets a reading it’s not supposed to be getting, the faulty oxygen sensor will trigger your Check Engine light.
3. Other Emissions System Parts
With today’s emissions standards, the emissions control systems on most vehicles have become very complex. They are much more complex than a catalytic converter and a couple of sensors. They now consist of filters, canisters, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves, positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valves, smog/air pumps, bypass valves, and several sensors to monitor the entire system. Should any of these areas fail, it can trigger any of a number of various codes in your computer. These codes all trigger the Check Engine light.
4. Failing Mass Airflow Sensor
Your vehicle’s mass airflow sensor (MAF) measures the amount of air entering your engine to determine how much fuel is required to run properly. If there are any leaks before or after the mass airflow sensor, a light will illuminate. These mass airflow sensors are sensitive to oil, water vapor, or any debris. Sometimes, a simple cleaning can fix the issue. Or, the sensor may need to be replaced. Failure to replace a faulty mass airflow sensor can lead to reduced performance and diminished fuel economy.
5. Faulty Catalytic Converter
Your vehicle’s catalytic converter protects the environment by converting carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. Oxygen sensors carefully monitor the catalytic converter’s performance, and if something is wrong with the converter a trouble code will appear. A failed catalytic converter is usually a secondary issue and is likely caused because other issues were ignored. If you don’t fix your catalytic converter, you will fail an emissions test, experience reduced performance and fuel economy, and can cause eventual engine failure.
6. Misfires
An engine misfire occurs when something goes awry as the spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture in your car’s combustion chamber. A misfire can be caused either on one cylinder or on multiple cylinders. Here are some common culprits:
- Defective ignition coil
- Defective fuel injector
- Vacuum leak
- Worn spark plugs and/or wires
- Bad compression
If you don’t address the misfire, your vehicle will have poor performance and reduced fuel economy, and can lead to eventual mechanical failure in the car’s engine.
Bottom Line:
You should never ignore your vehicle’s check engine light. While the scenarios for the light can range from mild to severe, you should always have your vehicle checked by a trusted professional to properly diagnose the issue. The way your check engine light appears can provide clues as to whether your vehicle needs immediate attention, or if you can safely drive home before going to an auto repair shop. Ignoring a check engine light can lead to more expensive repairs down the road and can also present a safety hazard.

Woman doctor loses Rs 1.5 lakh to cheat posing as army officer in Assam's Dibrugarh
Dibrugarh cyber crime: The cheat introduced himself as an officer from the Mohanbari army camp and insisted on making advance payment for taking appointment for his subordinates.

Guwahati: A dentist in Assam's Dibrugarh fell prey to cyber fraud on Thursday and lost Rs 1.5 lakhs from her bank account. The fraudster reached out as an Army officer seeking appointments for his soldiers.
According to dental surgeon Shilpika Chutia of Dibrugarh, the scamster contacted her over a video call. Dressed in army uniform, the accused asked for a check-up at her clinic in Dibrugarh's Boiragimoth for 35 subordinates.
The impersonator introduced himself as an officer from the Mohanbari army camp and insisted on making advance payment. Dr Shilpika agreed following repeated requests and clicked on the links shared to her phone from the other end.
Once she clicked on the links to initiate the advance payment transaction, Rs 1.5 lakh was debited from her account in four instalments within a minute, according to a report Times of India.
Initially, Rs 50,000 was deducted from her account. And then three more transactions saw her lose Rs 40,000, Rs 50,000 and Rs 10,000, respectively.
The incident came to light when Dr Shilpika and her husband, who is a psychiatrist at Assam Medical College and Hospital, filed an FIR with the Dibrugarh police later in the evening.
According to cyber security experts, unauthorised links involve major security threats to user information and people need to avoid them. Mafias have assembled multiple teams to carry out multiple objectives including data theft and phishing with a single scam, they warn.

‘Lovely weather in Takoradi– but I’m in Nottingham!’ Brits are left baffled after BBC weather app gives them the forecast for GHANA despite being sat at home in the UK
- A glitch on the BBC weather app is showing people's current location as Ghana
- Confused Brits have questioned they the app thinks they are in Africa
- The BBC said it is working with Apple to fix the issue that is affecting iOS users
Brits have been left baffled after their BBC weather app has been telling them their location is in Ghana - rather than where they actually are.
The BBC has said it is working with Apple to fix the issue, caused by a bug that affects iOS users.
The popular weather app has been saying people across the UK are located in the Western African country of Ghana, including the coastal cities of Aim or Takoradi.
Confused users have taken to social media to ask the BBC why their app thinks they are in Africa.
People across the UK have been left baffled after their BBC weather app has been saying their current location is in Ghana. The BBC said the issue is being caused by a bug affecting iOS users
One said: 'Why does my weather app think my location is Ghana when I am actually in Leeds, UK?'
Others raised concerns that their phone had been hacked: 'Serious question. Just opened BBC weather app, said local weather was Takoradi in Ghana - I'm in Leicester.
'Could this mean someone has hacked my phone? What do I do?'
Some people took to Twitter to question why the BBC weather app was saying they were now located in Ghana. One concerned user questioned whether there phone had been hacked
People from Aberdeen, the Peak District and London have all had their app tell them they are in Ghana.
The average temperature in Axim and Takoradi varies from 23C to 31C, rarely dropping below 20C or above 33C.
In comparison the average in Aberdeen varies between 2C and 18C, the Peak District varies between 0C and 19C and London between 4C and 23C.
Some found the mistake comical, wishing they were in a hotter climate.

One user from Aberdeen said: 'My weather app has decided that my current location is Axim, Ghana and that it's 30 degrees and very sunny.
'Maybe I'm in some sort of quantum flux or something, as looking outside I can definitely see a mostly overcast corner of Aberdeen.'
Another added: 'It's funny, I could swear I'm at home in Chislehurst, but my weather app is telling me that my current location is Takoradi in Ghana. I'll take that.'
Some found the mistake comical, wishing they were in a hotter climate. The average temperature in Axim and Takoradi varies from 23C to 31C, rarely dropping below 20C or above 33C
The BBC has said on its weather app FAQ webpage: 'We're aware of a bug in the iOS version of the BBC Weather app whereby several locations in Ghana, such as Axim or Takoradi, are displayed instead of your current location.
'We're working with Apple to fix this problem.
'Until we're able to resolve this issue, tapping on 'refresh' should allow the app to pick up your actual location.'
One user joked during the UK heatwave: 'It's so hot my weather app thinks I'm in Ghana'. The BBC has said it's aware of the issue and will continue to work to solve the problem
The BBC has said the accuracy of the location detection is 'heavily dependent' on individual's devices, it's settings and how it connects to the internet.
The company said mobile network towers, Wi-Fi connections and GPS can affect location services.
The weather app bug seems to be an ongoing issue with complaints on social media going back for more than a year. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11175881/Brits-left-baffled-BBC-weather-app-gives-forecast-Ghana.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-03T10:05:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11175881/Brits-left-baffled-BBC-weather-app-gives-forecast-Ghana.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

National Education Policy integrated, flexible approach for students: Former ISRO Chairman Kasturirangan
“Under the NEP, all medical graduates should possess medical, diagnostical, surgical and emergency skills, the former chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation said.
Former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman K. Kasturirangan, at the Association of National Board Accredited Institutions (ANBAI) Conclave 2022 in Ganga Hospital in the city on September 3 said the New Education Policy (NEP) provides an integrated yet flexible approach for society.
“Under the NEP, all medical graduates should possess medical, diagnostical, surgical and emergency skills, he said. The compulsory rotational internship must be reintroduced,” he said.
Secondly, he said, design the first year or two of the MBBS courses with common foundational courses after which graduates can choose desired specialisations. The other health-care systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH) will be made mainstream, Mr. Kasturirangan added. Next, he said, B.Sc Nursing is the sole entry-level qualification for nurses — but given the shortage of nursing staff, a consideration for GNM Course (General Nursing & Midwifery) can be made.
The Guest of Honour, Vice-Chancellor of the Tamilnadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University D. R. Sudha Seshayyan asked if the current health-care system has a disaster management plan as a part of medical education and said there could be newer viruses every time the growing human population encroaches into natural zones.
“All these must be considered while modernising medical education,” she said. She also said 20% of the world’s teen population is mentally ill and many psychiatrists stated such issues start at the age of 13 years. “The school education policy must come in to tackle the peer pressure among students,” she added.
A panel discussion and alumni interaction with the guests along with Chairman, Department of Orthopaedics, Trauma & Spine Surgery Dr. S Rajasekaran, National Board of Examinations President Dr. Abhijat Sheth and Executive Director Dr. Minu Bajpai, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education And Research Chairman Dr. Bhabatosh Biswas and Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital Chairman Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty was held.

NEW YORK (AP) — Leave it to Serena Williams to not want to go quietly, to not want this match, this trip to the U.S. Open, this transcendent career of hers, to really, truly end.
Right down to what were, barring a change of heart, the final minutes of her quarter-century of excellence on the tennis court, and an unbending unwillingness to be told what wasn’t possible, Williams tried to mount one last classic comeback, earn one last vintage victory, with fans on their feet in a full Arthur Ashe Stadium, cellphone cameras at the ready.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion staved off five match points to prolong the three-hours-plus proceedings, but could not do more, and was eliminated from the U.S. Open in the third round by Ajla Tomljanovic 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-1 on Friday night in what is expected to be her final contest.
“I’ve been down before. … I don’t really give up,” Williams said. “In my career, I’ve never given up. In matches, I don’t give up. Definitely wasn’t giving up tonight.”
She turns 41 this month and recently told the world that she is ready to start “evolving” away from her playing days — she expressed distaste for the word “retirement” — and while she remained purposely vague about whether this appearance at Flushing Meadows definitely would represent her last hurrah, everyone assumed it will be.
“It’s been the most incredible ride and journey I’ve ever been on in my life,” Williams said, tears streaming down her cheeks shortly after one final shot landed in the net. “I’m so grateful to every single person that’s ever said, ‘Go, Serena!’ in their life.”
Asked during an on-court interview whether she might reconsider walking away, Williams replied: “I don’t think so, but you never know.”
A little later, pressed on the same topic at her post-match news conference, Williams joked, “I always did love Australia,” the country that hosts the next Grand Slam tournament in January.
With two victories in singles this week, including over the No. 2 player in the world, Anett Kontaveit, on Wednesday, Williams took her fans on a thrill-a-minute throwback trip at the hard-court tournament that was the site of a half-dozen of her championships.
The first came in 1999 in New York, when Williams was a teen. Now she’s married and a mother; her daughter, Olympia, turned 5 on Thursday.
“Clearly, I’m still capable. … (But) I’m ready to be a mom, explore a different version of Serena,” she said. “Technically, in the world, I’m still super young, so I want to have a little bit of a life while I’m still walking.”
With 23,859 of her closest friends cheering raucously again Friday, Williams faltered against Tomljanovic, a 29-year-old Australian who is ranked 46th.
Williams gave away leads in each set, including the last, in which she was up 1-0 before dropping the final six games.
Tomljanovic is unabashedly a fan of Williams, having growing up watching her play on TV.
“I’m feeling really sorry, just because I love Serena just as much as you guys do. And what she’s done for me, for the sport of tennis, is incredible,” said Tomljanovic, who has never been past the quarterfinals at any major. “This is a surreal moment for me.”
Then, drawing laughs, Tomljanovic added: “I just thought she would beat me. … She’s Serena. That’s that’s just who she is: She’s the greatest of all time. Period.”
Asked what she planned to do on the first day of the rest of her life Saturday, Williams said she’d rest, spend time with Olympia and then added: “I’m definitely probably going to be karaoke-ing.”
Her performance with her racket Friday showed grit and featured some terrific serving, but it was not perfect.
On one point in the second set, Williams’ feet got tangled and she fell to the court, dropping her racket. She finished with 51 unforced errors, 21 more than Tomljanovic.
Williams let a 5-3 lead vanish in the first set. She did something similar in the second, giving away edges of 4-0 and 5-2, and requiring five set points to finally put that one in her pocket. From 4-all in the tiebreaker, meaning Williams was three points from defeat, she pounded a 117 mph ace, hit a forehand winner to cap a 20-stroke exchange, then watched Tomljanovic push a forehand long.
Momentum appeared to be on Williams’ side. But she could not pull off the sort of never-admit-defeat triumph she did so often over the years.
“Oh, my God, thank you so much. You guys were amazing today. I tried,” Williams told the audience, hands on her hips, before mentioning, among others, her parents and her older sister, Venus, a seven-time major champion who is 42.
“I wouldn’t be Serena if there wasn’t Venus. So thank you, Venus,” Williams said. “She’s the only reason that Serena Williams ever existed.”
They started in tennis as kids in Compton, California, coached by their father, Richard, who taught himself about the sport after watching on television while a player received a winner’s check. He was the central figure in the Oscar-winning film “King Richard,” produced by his daughters.
The siblings lost together in the first round of doubles on Thursday night, drawing another sellout. And on Friday, as during the younger Williams’ other outings this week, there could be no doubt about which player the paying public favored.
When Tomljanovic broke to go up 6-5 as part of a four-game run to take the opening set, one person in her guest box rose to applaud — and he was pretty much on his own.
Otherwise, folks applauded when Tomljanovic double-faulted, generally considered a faux pas for tennis crowds.
They got loud in the middle of lengthy exchanges, also frowned upon.
They offered sympathetic sounds of “Awwwwww” when Williams flubbed a shot, and leapt out of their seats when she did something they found extraordinary. A rather routine service break was cause for a standing ovation.
Tomljanovic draped a blue-and-white U.S. Open towel over her head at changeovers, shielding herself from the noise and distractions.
“Just really blocked it out as much as I could. It did get to me a few times, internally. I mean, I didn’t take it personally because, I mean, I would be cheering for Serena, too, if I wasn’t playing her,” Tomljanovic said. “But it was definitely not easy.”
After Williams struck a swinging backhand volley winner to take a 4-0 lead in the second set, her play improving with every passing moment, the reaction was earsplitting. Billie Jean King, a Hall of Famer with 39 total Grand Slam titles across singles, doubles and mixed doubles, raised her cellphone to capture the scene.
“You’re everywhere!” yelled Williams’ husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, from a courtside guest box that also contained power couple Ciara and Russell Wilson.
When Williams drove two consecutive forehand winners to lead 5-2 in the second set, she screamed and leaned forward after each.
She could not sustain that level.
Williams entered the night having won 19 times in a row in the U.S. Open’s third round of singles competition, including reaching at least the semifinals in her most recent 11 appearances in New York.
Talk about a full-circle moment: The only other third-round loss she’s ever had at Flushing Meadows (she is 42-0 in the first and second rounds) came in 1998, the year Williams made her tournament debut at age 16.
She would win her first major trophy 12 months later at the U.S. Open. And now she said goodbye in that same stadium.
“It’s been a long time. I’ve been playing tennis my whole life,” Williams said Friday night, after performing one last twirl-and-wave move usually reserved for victories. “It is a little soon, but I’m also happy because, I mean, this is what I wanted, what I want.”

Tyreek Lewis’ back ached.
The 35-year-old from North Philadelphia worked as a truck driver, and long days in the driver’s seat had put him in enough pain that his girlfriend made him a doctor’s appointment in May 2021.
But to be referred to a pain management clinic for the relief he needed, Lewis would need to take time off work for more assessments and an MRI. It was time he felt he couldn’t afford.
That’s when a friend proposed another solution. “I know a guy who sells the same pills a doctor would give you,” the friend said, according to Lewis’ mother, Antoinette Hornsby.
Desperate for relief, Lewis bought two.
But the pills Lewis had purchased were illicit fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid. They had been pressed into pill form and sold on the street to look identical to the safer pharmaceutical opioids.
Hours later, his girlfriend found him unconscious on the bathroom floor. Two days later, he was pronounced dead at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia.

Hornsby said she had known very little about fentanyl before her son died. The loss transformed her into a vocal advocate for overdose prevention and education. Hornsby, who lives in Georgia, is now encouraging her own local police department to carry the overdose-reversing drug naloxone. She is also creating a virtual memorial to her son and others lost to fentanyl.
Lewis, a father of two and stepfather to another two children, was outgoing. Four hundred people went to his funeral, his mother said.
A musician in his spare time, he released several rap CDs and was passionate about songwriting — he’d been writing his own music since 13. As a kid, he loved to play hockey and skateboard.
He was extremely proud of his children — one son is in college at Drexel University and two of his sons recently graduated from Temple University and the city firefighter’s academy, respectively.
The family has coped as best they can with their unexpected loss, Hornsby said. Lewis’ youngest child, 4, has been dreaming about her father lately, his mother said.
For Hornsby, activism has helped her to work through her grief.
“No mother should have to bury her child, and if I can ease the pain of someone who’s going through what I’m going through, I’m happy with just that,” she said. | https://www.inquirer.com/health/opioid-addiction/philadelphia-addiction-deaths-tyreek-lewis-20220903.html | 2022-09-03T10:27:38Z | https://www.inquirer.com/health/opioid-addiction/philadelphia-addiction-deaths-tyreek-lewis-20220903.html | true |
Breaking down the price of gasoline
Gas is expensive. That's no surprise if you've been filling up your tank, watching the news or reading reports about inflation.
The rising prices we've seen at the tank have made us mad, made us skeptical and have helped fuel speculation that the oil companies are taking advantage of us.
On today's episode, we're after the real story. We break down the price of a gallon of gas into its component parts to answer the question that's been one everyone's minds all year — is anyone raising prices and keeping prices high on purpose to profit more?

TRAVERSE CITY — The Titans did not fare well against Grand Haven over a two-day stretch. Not on the soccer field and not on the gridiron.
A day after the Traverse City West varsity football team lost on the road to Grand Haven, 49-21, the West varsity boys soccer team was unable to exact any measure of revenge against the Buccaneers.

Why do an MBA after B.Tech.?
A combination of Engineering and Management studies offers the right mix of multiple skills and competencies
ADVERTISEMENT
Post the pandemic, industries are witnessing a significant growth. New operational strategies are being implemented for survival, revival, and sustainable growth. This has created a demand for candidates with an MBA and an engineering degree. While the latter offers in-depth technical knowledge, the former complements that with commercial and management competencies. This makes them valuable in a range of industries that are targeting scalability, speed, variety, flexibility and agility for long-term sustainability.
ADVERTISEMENT
A graduate in Computer Science, Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering or Mechanical Engineering should opt for MBA with specialisation in Operations Management. Operations is the nerve-center of today’s technology-driven industry. Students are exposed to subjects such as Project Management, Supply Chain Analytics, Business Excellence, Service Operations, Enterprise Resource Planning, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and more. The preferred job profiles in Operations today includes:
Project management leadership with skills in new product and service development (concept to creation) is in high demand. Understanding and leading complex projects require a structured mindset with people and decision-making skills. Application exposure to the different project management tools and techniques play a significant role in leadership development.
Vendor development and outsourcing competency to develop new suppliers and align existing ones to the new post-pandemic digital environment is also in demand. Techno-commercial skills with optimal inshoring and offshoring knowhow is much needed.
ADVERTISEMENT
Operational skills innew technology is a role for the immediate future. Management of different technologies such as IoT, AI, ML, RFID, Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing and Robotics, require the right mix of technology and management skills.
Exposure to Lean Technology, process and people is another much sought-after profile. The post-pandemic industry is continuously looking to deliver more from less, which is all about LEAN systems.
Supply chain and analytics related skills for sustainable material and information flow. The pandemic disrupted the supply chain across industries. It needs a total transformation under the umbrella of digitisation.
Each of these profiles call for the right mix of qualitative and analytical skills, creativity, design thinking, technology and people management competencies. A good management graduate with a sound engineering fundamentals, about 3-5 years’ industry exposure, and a passion for operations will be the right fit.

Missouri's hunting seasons are almost here. What to know about dates, methods and permits
Hunting seasons are upon us.
Missouri Department of Conservation lists when hunting seasons are taking place on its website. Here's a rundown on what's ahead for hunters as far as black bear, white-tailed deer, elk and turkey hunting seasons.
Black bear hunting season
The second annual bear season will be one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset Oct. 17 to Oct. 26 within Bear Management Zones (BMZ).
Bear permits are for one black bear of either sex with some restrictions, such as:
- Permit holders must call 800-668-4045 to determine the daily season quota/closure status prior to hunting each day. In addition, if the harvest has reached or exceeded 80 percent of the harvest quota, MDC may close hunting within that Black Bear Management Zone on the following day.
- Once the harvest quota is met or the season closes for the BMZ in which you are hunting, the season is over, and you may not harvest a black bear.
- Black bears that have taken refuge in a den may not be harvested or harassed.
- Only lone black bears may be harvested. You may not harvest a bear that is with one or more other bears, including female bears with cubs.
A random permit drawing was held in May with results posted in July.
- BMZ 1: Permit quota of 200 issued with a harvest quota of 20 bears.
- BMZ 2: Permit quota of 150 issued with a harvest quota of 15 bears.
- BMZ 3: Permit quota of 50 issued with a harvest quota of five bears.

For too long, many homes and small businesses have lacked a reliable internet connection. While billions of tax dollars have been spent to bring all Americans a high-speed internet connection, a new federal program finally puts the power and resources in the hands of the states to accomplish this daunting task. As states decide how to spend this infusion of federal broadband funding, they should look to Virginia’s example.
At the end of 2021, President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. Along with funding significant upgrades to our nation’s roads, bridges and other infrastructure needs, the law authorized $65 billion toward deploying broadband internet across the country.
The main bucket of funding is through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program. While the money is coming from the federal government, it will be up to all of the 56 states and territories to actually carry out the BEAD program’s goal of ending the digital divide by bringing broadband to unserved and underserved communities.
People are also reading…
The federal government has been trying to end the digital divide for more than 20 years. Rural America in particular has suffered, with many local communities across the country finding it difficult to compete in the modern economy.
Small businesses power the world’s economy, making up roughly 90% of all businesses globally. But like millions of Americans, many of these businesses have struggled without access to a reliable internet connection, which has become vitally important in the digital economy.
The goal of the BEAD program is to provide millions of businesses with broadband access in order to tap into the tools and opportunity made available through the digital economy. Yet, while all 56 eligible states and territories have filed a letter of intent to apply for BEAD funding, not every program will be the same.
Furthermore, the federal government has set up a series of dates, deadlines and other hoops to jump through in order to access BEAD funds. To bring their citizens and small businesses online, and more quickly, public officials across the country should follow Virginia’s lead.
For several years, Virginia has been ahead of the curve on connecting homes and small businesses in the most remote corners of the commonwealth. Virginia’s program boasts an aggressive completion deadline that uses all technologies available to get Virginians online, and it is backed by a large coalition of groups.
Virginia’s efforts to end the digital divide began in earnest in 2017 and have been sustained through significant bipartisan support. Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam set the lofty goal of getting all unserved communities online by 2024.
His Republican successor, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, has carried the baton. With support from the General Assembly, the Commonwealth Connect Fund has awarded roughly $850 million in grants and connected more 400,000 homes and business since the program’s inception.
Public-sector support is not the only ingredient of Virginia’s success. The Commonwealth Connect Fund understands that private-sector involvement is critical to the goal of achieving universal broadband coverage. Internet service providers in Virginia — and any state across the country — are the experts at handling the complexity and costs of deploying broadband infrastructure.
As states start to design their programs with BEAD funding, they will receive applications from a variety of entities, including ISPs and municipalities seeking to build their own broadband networks. Yet as Virginia has proven, there are only a few scenarios where a local municipality should be tasked with building a network that its businesses and homes will rely on for internet access. One of the most critical decisions a state can make is to partner with a provider that has the resources and expertise to finally end the digital divide.
Virginia’s broadband efforts also have been successful because the state realized early on that in order to bring all citizens online, every tool in the toolkit must be used. Commonwealth Connect’s policy of technology neutrality has been a critical part of the program’s success — whether it is traditional fiber to the premises or new technology like fixed wireless.
Fixed wireless provides broadband technology over 5G networks by using wireless links between fixed points. It overcomes the labor and material pain points that come with a traditional wired connection. In fact, recent research has shown fixed wireless delivers the best combination of speed, latency, reliability and costs among last-mile broadband technologies — the final leg of the internet connection that reaches the user.
Though the BEAD program isn’t perfect, it will get us closer to ending the digital divide by providing a reliable internet connection to homes and businesses across the country. This is an opportunity that we cannot afford to waste. As states design their deployment programs, they should follow Virginia’s example by partnering with experienced providers and taking advantage of all technology available to achieve universal broadband coverage.

Putin ally: US dream of Russian breakup is road to doom
MOSCOW (AP) - A top Russian official accused the U.S. and its allies on Saturday of trying to provoke the country's breakup and warned that such attempts could lead to doomsday.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of Russia´s Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin, warned the West that an attempt to push Russia toward collapse would amount to a "chess game with Death."
Medvedev, who served as Russia´s president in 2008-2012 when term limits forced Putin to shift into the prime minister´s post, was widely seen by the West as more liberal than his mentor. In recent months, however, he has made remarks that have sounded much tougher than those issued by the most hawkish Kremlin officials in an apparent attempt to curry favor with Putin.
After attending Saturday's farewell ceremony for former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, Medvedev published a post on his messaging app channel, referring to the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union and accusing the U.S. and its allies of trying to engineer Russia's breakup.
Medvedev alleged that some in the West would like to "take advantage of the military conflict in Ukraine to push our country to a new twist of disintegration, do everything to paralyze Russia's state institutions and deprive the country of efficient controls, as happened in 1991."
"Those are the dirty dreams of the Anglo-Saxon perverts, who go to sleep with a secret thought about the breakup of our state, thinking about how to shred us into pieces, cut us into small bits." Medvedev wrote. "Such attempts are very dangerous and mustn't be underestimated. Those dreamers ignore a simple axiom: a forceful disintegration of a nuclear power is always a chess game with Death, in which it's known precisely when the check and mate comes: doomsday for mankind."

FAYETTEVILLE -- Lawyers for a judge in Benton County filed a motion Friday asking the federal judge hearing the case to stop further action until he rules on their pending motion to dismiss the complaint.
The federal lawsuit filed in July claims not appointing a lawyer to represent people who can't afford to hire one in the earliest stages of a criminal case is a violation of their constitutional rights. The case was filed in U.S. District Court in Fayetteville by Doug Norwood and Alison Lee on behalf of Abigail Farella and Logan Murphy. The lawsuit seeks class action certification.
The lawsuit argues Farella and Murphy were both arrested on felony charges and given bail hearings before District Judge A.J. Anglin. Both were found to be indigent but didn't have attorneys appointed to represent them at their bail hearings.
Indigent means a person can't afford a lawyer for defense in a criminal case. If the court finds a person indigent, it must appoint a public defender or other attorney to represent him. At dispute is when in the process the defender must be appointed.
The motion to dismiss, filed in July, argues judges have sovereign immunity from being sued, defendants have no constitutional right to a lawyer at that point in the proceedings and the plaintiffs have failed to state a valid claim. Anglin is represented by lawyers from the Arkansas Attorney General's Office.
The motion filed Friday requests all deadlines in the case be stayed until the parties receive notice of the court's ruling on defendants' pending motion to dismiss. A stay is a court order preventing further action until a future event occurs, or the order is lifted.
The brief argues granting the motion to dismiss will prevent unnecessary expense and burden and will further the interest of judicial economy and efficiency.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs do not oppose the stay, according to the motion. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/03/lawyers-for-judge-in-benton-county-want-case/ | 2022-09-03T11:09:32Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/03/lawyers-for-judge-in-benton-county-want-case/ | true |
Thomas Tuchel has explained why Billy Gilmour controversially left Chelsea despite the club's injury crisis. The 21-year-old was tipped by many for a bright future at Stamford Bridge so, when the club decided to cash-in, the sale came as a huge shock; even more so with the Blues having suffered numerous injuries in midfield this season.
Gilmour featured just 22 times for the west Londoners since joining from Rangers in 2017, aged 16. Despite having shown glimpses of great promise from select appearances, the Scotland international was never truly trusted by Tuchel.
Upon the Scotsman's return to Cobham for pre-season training this summer, he found himself out of favour under the German. Gimour was relegated to the under-23s squad and was only recently handed a first-team squad number - albeit a few weeks into the new Premier League season.

As a result, the midfielder decided that enough was enough and pushed for an exit against Tuchel's wish. The Blues boss has admitted that he wanted Gilmour to stay at Chelsea, but his persistence to leave left the German helpless in his stance.
Giving Gilmour a harsh, but honest, verdict on his time at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel said: "We had high hopes and he played for us in the first half-a-year when I was at Chelsea, played some important matches for us and looked for a new challenge that did not go so well for him with Norwich.
"We expected more, he expected more so it was like, without pointing a finger, but it is difficult also for him and for us to not succeed, to not play at Norwich, to be relegated and then suddenly be a central midfielder for Chelsea and competing for top four and for every title.
"There's a huge step in between so we were looking. The ideal solution would have been maybe that he goes again on loan as the concurrence is huge for us in central midfield and we felt like he is not the age where he can live again with five or seven or eight matches during a whole season to fulfil his own potential so ideally it would have been another loan. Billy did not want to go on loan, it was a no-go for him so in the end we agreed to a sale."
As a result, Gimour has penned a four-year deal with Brighton and Hove Albion. Chelsea reached an agreement with the Seagulls, with the deal worth an initial £7.5million which could rise to £9million.

Maidstone family gives home to dog thrown from moving lorry
- Published
A dog which was thrown from a lorry travelling at 50mph (80km/h) has found a loving family and a new home.
Vets carried out surgery on the dog, now renamed Bella, amid concerns of possible internal bleeding, but said she was not seriously injured.
The RSPCA is investigating the incident in Yalding, Kent, on 28 January.
Bella was frightened, underweight, with a flea-ridden, dirty, matted coat, but is now "always wagging her tail," said new owner, Gill.
RSPCA Inspector Kirsten Ormerod said: "Freya was incredibly lucky to survive after being hurled from the moving vehicle at such a high speed and vets were incredibly concerned that she may have suffered internal bleeding so performed surgery immediately."
Gill, from Maidstone, who asked not to give her surname, said she found Bella on the RSPCA's "find a pet" website.
She said she fell in love with her straightaway, adding: "She can be a bit naughty and play-bites a lot, but we love her just the way she is." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-62779222?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | 2022-09-03T11:23:35Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-62779222?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | true |
Bali: UAE is commitment towards constructive collaboration with the international community to confront challenges facing the global energy sector with the aim of advancing efforts to realise international stability.
“The UAE is also keen to continue its efforts to develop the energy sector, especially the clean energy, and invest in the future through a realistic vision that drives global prosperity,” said Sharif Salim Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.
“We in the UAE are keen to maintain constructive cooperation and engagement with our international partners to obtain the proper energy mix in alignment with environment protection objectives and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions,” said Al Olama at the the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting in Bali. “The UAE is ready to share its experiences in clean energy sector and work together with regional and international partners to entrench its position in the industry and get ready for the next 50 years as it considers this sector a vital enabler and driver for sustainable development and a major attraction for foreign investment.”
The UAE, he added, is at the forefront in efforts of energy diversification and adoption of sustainability-driven technology to achieve climate neutrality as a key priority for the government.
During the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting, G20 Energy Ministers and major international energy organisations discussed key issues such as progress in implementation of the G20 Energy Transition Action Plan, the G20 Presidency Road Map, securing energy access, scaling up energy technologies, advancing energy financing and laying the path toward net-zero emissions (NZEs) or carbon neutrality.
Al Olma met separately with Rob Jetten, Minister for Climate and Energy Policy of the Netherlands, and David Turk, United States Deputy Secretary of Energy, to discuss prospects for joint cooperation in sustainable development and preparations for 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 28) which the UAE will host in 2023. | https://gulfnews.com/business/energy/uae-is-keen-to-address-global-energy-challenges-al-olma-1.90306600 | 2022-09-03T11:27:56Z | https://gulfnews.com/business/energy/uae-is-keen-to-address-global-energy-challenges-al-olma-1.90306600 | false |

Volkswagen boards to discuss Porsche listing on Monday
A decision will also be made on whether Volkswagen approves of the sale of 25% plus one share of ordinary shares in Porsche AG to Porsche SE, as laid out in a framework agreement by the two parties in February.
Volkswagen's management and supervisory boards will discuss at a meeting on Monday whether the long-anticipated listing of sportscar brand Porsche in late September or early October should go ahead, the carmaker said on Saturday.
A decision will also be made on whether Volkswagen approves of the sale of 25% plus one share of ordinary shares in Porsche AG to Porsche SE, as laid out in a framework agreement by the two parties in February.
"A final decision has not yet been taken," a Volkswagen statement said.
In a separate statement, Porsche SE, which owns 31.4% of Volkswagen and holds 53.3% of voting rights, confirmed Monday's meeting and said it was in "advanced discussions" with Volkswagen AG on the structure of the share purchase agreement.
Even if the boards reach an understanding on Monday, the launch of the listing is still subject to market developments and further board discussions, Porsche's statement said.
Some investors have questioned the timing of a stock market debut that would test the appeal of Europe's largest automaker at a time when the valuations of leading companies have shrunk amid the instability of war and record energy costs.

Prince Charles set to attend Highland Games and open the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Archway after Her Majesty, 96, was forced to miss one her ‘favourite’ events ‘for her comfort’
- Queen will not attend Braemar Gathering but Prince Charles who normally accompanies her will still be there
- Highland Games are often attended by the Queen and PM and are usually a highlight in monarch's calendar
- Until now, the Queen has never missed the Highland Games - held near Balmoral - during entire 70-year reign
The Braemar Gathering is set to get underway this weekend but, despite the event being a favourite of the Royal Family, the Queen will not be in attendance due to concerns for her mobility.
Before today, the Queen had never missed the games in her 70-year reign but due to concerns for her comfort, Prince Charles will attend in her stead.
Charles, referred to at the games as the Duke of Rothesay, will officially open The Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Archway during the festival and present awards to the top-performing competitors
The announcement comes after Her Majesty was said to have been 'carefully considering' whether she was fit enough to attend the event as she continues to struggle to walk.
However, for the first time in the event's history, it will be live streamed online so her majesty will be able to watch from the comfort of Balmoral.
Reports suggest it may be the pavilion where her majesty would have traditionally sat may be a factor in the decision to miss the event this year.
In previous years, the Queen has enjoyed the world-famous even from the Royal Pavilion which has a series of at least ten steps leading up to it which would have to be navigated by anyone hoping to take their seat in the box.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast from Braemar this morning, Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell said he didn't believe the Queen's absence was something to be concerned about.
He said: 'She is a lady of 96 and frankly what 96-year-old doesn't have some health concerns?
'I think the important thing is has there been any significant change in her health in recent weeks and my understanding is that there hasn't.
'We saw at the time of the Platinum jubilee weekend that she was unable to attend various events then because of this mobility issue that she has, because of her comfort as palace officials describe it and that's the situation here at the moment.
'So she this afternoon will remain at Balmoral where she's on her summer break while other members of the Royal Family will be here and in that little pavilion.
'I think possibly one of the reasons why the Queen won't be coming is because there's a little bit of a climb up to that so as close as the Range Rover can get her, she would still have to climb up those steps and I think that would be one of the factors weighing in their minds.'
The decision will prompt fresh fears about the Queen's health, just two days after Buckingham Palace said she would remain in Scotland to appoint a new prime minister at Balmoral for the first time in her reign.
The Braemar Gathering is set to get underway today but, despite the event being a favourite of the Royal Family, the Queen will not be in attendance due to concerns for her mobility.

Reports have suggested that the steep steps up to the royal box may have played a factor in whether the Queen attended
The Highland Games, which are often attended by the Queen and the prime minister of the day, are usually a highlight in the monarch's calendar. They are held at the Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park in Braemar.
But royal sources confirmed yesterday that there were two main issues in terms of the Queen's attendance – firstly getting her to the games, but also that she would have to sit in public for a long period of time to watch them.
The Games are classed as a 'private' event in Her Majesty's calendar and not a public engagement. It is understood that the monarch had originally hoped she would be at the event which begins this morning shortly before midday.
Until now, the Queen has never missed the Highland Games during her 70-year reign, following a tradition of the monarch attending which was started by Queen Victoria 174 years ago in 1848.
The event is held a short distance from where Her Majesty is staying on her annual summer at the Balmoral Castle estate in Aberdeenshire.
The Highland Games is known for being one of the Queen's favourite engagements, and she has often been photographed there laughing and smiling with other members of her family as they watch on from the Royal Box.

This year's competition – which will see contestants battle it out in caber-tossing and tug-of-war in front of spectators – is the first to be held since the start of the pandemic.
This year for the first time, organisers are trialling a live stream online.
Organisers said: 'We are passionate about our traditions, heritage and history and we are excited that we can reach new and old audiences to share those with you.'
The Queen, who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee this year, is on her traditional summer break in the Scottish Highlands, but has faced health issues since last autumn.
She now regularly uses a walking stick, but rallied to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony for her Jubilee.
Her traditional welcome to Balmoral Castle earlier in August was held privately for her 'comfort'.
The monarch traditionally holds audiences with outgoing and incoming premiers at Buckingham Palace.
But Boris Johnson, who will tender his resignation, and the new Conservative Party leader who will be asked to form a government - either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak - will travel to Balmoral Castle - a 1,000-mile round trip - for the key audiences next Tuesday instead.
It is believed to be the first time in the monarch's 70 years on the throne that she has conducted the historic duty away from Buckingham Palace.
A Palace spokesman confirmed the decision over the Prime Minister audiences on Wednesday and it is understood it was taken at this stage in order to provide certainty for the Prime Minister's diary.
If the Queen had experienced an episodic mobility issue next week and the plan had been to travel to London or Windsor, it would have led to alternative arrangements at the last minute.
The Sun reported at the weekend that the Prince of Wales had been making regular morning visits to see his mother as she continues to struggle with her mobility, with the unplanned visits considered highly unusual.
Former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said: 'The fact officials can't be sure the Queen will be well enough to travel next week is yet another reminder of her advanced age and increasing frailty.
'Despite this, the Queen remains determined to carry out her core duties.
'Appointing a new prime minister is not something that can easily be passed to Prince Charles, a king-in-waiting.'
Buckingham Palace declined to give an ongoing commentary on the monarch's health.
The audiences will take place in Balmoral's green-carpeted Drawing Room, which has matching green sofas, a leaf-patterned fabric chair, an open fire and a number of equine-themed antique paintings on the walls.
Mr Johnson said arrangements for the handover to the new prime minister will be down to the Queen and 'fit totally around her and whatever she wants'.
The politician told reporters during a visit to Barrow-in-Furness: 'I don't talk about my conversations with the Queen, no prime minister ever does.'
In 2019, after a private audience with the Queen in which he accepted her invitation to form a government and become PM, Mr Johnson revealed to a reporter that the monarch had quipped: 'I don't know why anyone would want the job.'
The Queen will also hold a virtual Privy Council meeting the following day, rather than an in-person one, where the new PM will be sworn in as First Lord of the Treasury among other business.
During her Jubilee celebrations, the Queen only travelled to Buckingham Palace twice - first for her Trooping the Colour balcony appearance and then for a finale after the pageant.
She spends most of her time at Windsor Castle, 22 miles from central London, living there during the pandemic and while major renovations take place at Buckingham Palace.
As head of state, it is the Queen's duty to appoint the prime minister who leads Her Majesty's Government.
The Royal Encyclopedia states that the appointment of a prime minister is 'one of the few remaining personal prerogatives of the sovereign'.
The monarch does not act on advice nor need to consult anyone before calling upon the leader with an overall majority of seats in the House of Commons to form a government.
Either Ms Truss or Mr Sunak will be the 15th prime minister of the Queen's reign.
After a new premier has been appointed, the Court Circular will record that 'the Prime Minister kissed hands on appointment'. This is not literally the case, and it is usually a handshake. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11175963/Braemar-Games-set-opened-Prince-Charles-Queen-pulled-attending-comfort.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-09-03T11:54:05Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11175963/Braemar-Games-set-opened-Prince-Charles-Queen-pulled-attending-comfort.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false |
Authorities in Tennessee are searched for a woman who police said was abducted and forced into a vehicle early Friday while she was jogging near the University of Memphis campus.
Eliza Fletcher, 34, was last seen about 4:20 a.m. Friday, Memphis police said. She was jogging when a man approached her and forced her into an SUV after a brief struggle, university police said. She was reported missing when she did not return home from her regular morning run, authorities said.
Fletcher's cellphone and water bottle were discovered in front of a house owned by the university, police said.
Memphis police and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation were searching for Fletcher. News outlets reported that she is a teacher at a private school.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s new moon rocket sprang another hazardous leak Saturday, as the launch team began fueling it for liftoff on a test flight that must go well before astronauts climb aboard.
For the second time this week, the launch team began loading nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA. Monday’s attempt was halted by a bad engine sensor and leaking fuel.
As the sun rose, an over-pressure alarm sounded and the tanking operation was briefly halted, but no damage occurred and the effort resumed, NASA’s Launch Control reported. But minutes later, hydrogen fuel began leaking from the engine section at the bottom of the rocket. NASA halted the operation, while engineers scrambled to plug what was believed to be a gap around a seal.
The countdown clocks continued ticking toward an afternoon liftoff; NASA had two hours Saturday to get the rocket off.
NASA wants to send the crew capsule atop the rocket around the moon, pushing it to the limit before astronauts get on the next flight. If the five-week demo with test dummies succeeds, astronauts could fly around the moon in 2024 and land on it in 2025. People last walked on the moon 50 years ago.
Forecasters expected generally favorable weather at Kennedy Space Center, especially toward the end of the two-hour afternoon launch window.
At the same time, the rocket’s lead engineers expressed confidence in the tightened-up fuel lines and procedure changes.
On Monday, a sensor indicated one of the four engines was too warm, but engineers later verified it actually was cold enough. The launch team planned to ignore the faulty sensor this time around and rely on other instruments to ensure each main engine was properly chilled.
Before igniting, the main engines need to be as frigid as the liquid hydrogen fuel flowing into them at minus-420 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-250 degrees Celsius). If not, the resulting damage could lead to an abrupt engine shutdown and aborted flight.
Mission managers accepted the additional risk posed by the engine issue as well as a separate problem: cracks in the rocket’s insulating foam. But they acknowledged other problems could prompt yet another delay.
That didn’t stop thousands from jamming the coast to see the Space Launch System rocket soar. Local authorities expected massive crowds because of the long Labor Day holiday weekend.
The $4.1 billion test flight is the first step in NASA’s Artemis program of renewed lunar exploration, named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology.
Twelve astronauts walked on the moon during NASA’s Apollo program, the last time in 1972.
Artemis — years behind schedule and billions over budget — aims to establish a sustained human presence on the moon, with crews eventually spending weeks at a time there. It’s considered a training ground for Mars.

It is a question that has yet to be satisfactorily answered.
When Tony Soprano sat down with his family at Holsten’s in Bloomfield, the final scene of the ground-breaking HBO series ended with a sinister-looking guy in a Members Only jacket, the jangle of bells at the entrance to the famed malt shop. And then, shockingly, the screen cut suddenly to black.
Today for our own concluding episode of our “Eating at the Scene of the Crime” summer tour, which has taken us to restaurants, dives and diners where some of the state’s more notorious tales of crime and corruption have played out, we also find ourselves at Holsten’s — arguably one of the most famous, albeit fictional, scenes of a Jersey criminal repast. And we will attempt to answer the question that remains on the minds of so many people.
Not the endless debate over whether Tony, North Caldwell’s most lovable mob boss, did indeed get whacked in the end. Nope. We’re staying focused on what’s on the table and will deal with whether in his final words on camera, Soprano was right all along.
About the onion rings, that is.
Are they, as he insisted, the best in New Jersey?
In a place with hundreds of diners and countless cheap boardwalk takeout joints with hot fryers, onion rings could easily be celebrated as the state vegetable of New Jersey (actually, it’s the tomato). A sectional “ring” of onion dipped in batter or bread crumbs and then deep fried, onion rings are hardly haute cuisine. But a good one — hot, crisp, and seasoned — can be a bite of heaven. A bad one is all but inedible. Good or bad, they are loaded with enough saturated fat and sodium to likely have ultimately killed Tony, even if he wasn’t perhaps gunned down by the Members Only dude.
Traced by some to British cookbooks dating back to the early 1800s, the origin of onion rings has also been claimed by Kirby’s Pig Stand of Dallas, which maintained it was the first to serve them up to customers back in the 1920s. Crisco published an onion rings recipe in a New York Times advertisement in 1933.
As for Holstens’ own onion rings that Tony had ordered for the table, David Chase, the creator and executive producer of “The Sopranos,” had apparently tried them when he had lunch to check out the restaurant’s interior months earlier and wrote them into the script.
Never a major offering on the menu, Holsten’s co-owner Randy Stark said he suggested a hamburger or a sandwich instead.
“We tried to steer them away from the onion rings,” he said. But Chase, he recalled, “had onion rings on his brain for some reason.”
‘Leave the gun ... Take the cannoli’
Wiseguys love their food, even in the movies.
“The Godfather,” the classic 1972 film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, gave Italian pastry the quotable line that will live forever in cinematic lore.
It begins when Peter Clemenza, a top-level caporegime in the Corleone crime family, leaves his home.
“Don’t forget the cannoli,” his wife calls out.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” mutters actor Richard Castellano, who portrayed the character, as he gets into the 1941 Packard Super Eight One-Eighty Sport Broughama driven by the doomed Paulie Gallo.
It is a death ride for Paulie. Fingered as a traitor to the family for betraying Vito Corleone, he unknowingly drives himself to his execution while mob soldier Rocco Lampone sits ominously in the back seat awaiting to administer mob justice.
They end up on a remote road bordered by a sea of phragmites that suggest they might be in Jersey’s Meadowlands, where so many other victims of organized crime were said to have been dumped over the years amid the garbage landfills. In the background, however, one can see the Statute of Liberty. They are far from the Meadowlands. The film crew actually set up the scene along Freedom Way in what is now Liberty State Park in Jersey City.
“Pull over. I’ve got to take a leak,” orders Clemenza.
As Paulie sits behind the wheel, Clemenza steps out to relieve himself. Suddenly there is the echo of three shots fired by Lampone at close range into the back of Paulie’s head.
Clemenza returns to the car where a box of cannoli he had picked up earlier in the day from Luna’s on Mulberry Street in Little Italy still sits unopened on the front seat next to the murdered man.
“Leave the gun,” Clemenza tells Lampone. “Take the cannoli,” he adds, a line that Castellano was said to have ad-libbed.
Even in real life, eating off the menu has played a role in racketeering cases against organized crime.
Prosecutors back in 2011 went after Joe Ligambi, the reputed Philadelphia mob boss, after they secretly recorded conversations from a five-hour luncheon at La Griglia in Kenilworth. At the meeting was Ligambi and several of his associates who broke bread with high-ranking members of New York’s Gambino crime family, during which authorities alleged many were said to have boasted of their exploits. Following two racketeering conspiracy trials, however, prosecutors could not convince a jury that Ligambi was guilty of anything. Defense attorneys argued that it was just a group of friends having lunch and talking about the old days.
Whatever they might have been talking about, the details of the meal were no secret. They ate Chilean sea bass, yellow fin tuna, filet mignon and chicken with broccoli rabe. Wine flowed heavily, followed by fresh berries and cheesecake.
We did not eat quite as well at Holsten’s. It’s just not that kind of place, with a vibe that suggests an after-class hangout for high schoolers and a menu heavy on burgers and shakes. But then again, there is the likelihood that Tony never ate anything more than the onion rings he had ordered for the table.
“Best in the state, far as I’m concerned,” he declares, popping a small one in his mouth whole. Almost like a communion wafer, some have suggested.
Tony’s booth
Holsten’s Brookdale Confectionery was a New Jersey institution long before Chase decided it was the last place we would see Tony. Essex County residents have been coming to the Bloomfield ice cream parlor — with its dining room stuck in yesteryear — for more than eight decades for sundaes, milkshakes, burgers and chocolates.
More than 10 years after Tony’s last scene, Holsten’s today remains a revered shrine to fans of a crime family that never was. There are Sopranos T-shirts for sale. The wait staff is dressed in black with red Sopranos-style logos. Many diners come as much for a photo as they do for the homemade ice cream that originally put the place on the map, opened in 1939 as Strubbe’s Ice Cream Parlor.
Stark said Holsten’s saw an uptick in business right after “The Sopranos” finale aired.
“A lot of people came to try to find an answer, they thought maybe they could find out what happened,” he said. After a sharp downturn in business during the COVID pandemic, Holsten’s is once again hopping as one of the most popular ice cream shops in New Jersey.
The bells on the front door that played a part in the final episode are gone. So are prominent murals on the back wall that were made for the set, which then featured panels of Bloomfield High School and the faded glory of championship football players from the 1970s, setting the scene when a weary-looking Tony, who played high school football, walks in and sits down.
Instead, there is a painted view of an open farmhouse door and windows to the imagined pastoral green fields beyond. But the restaurant’s wood paneled walls are the same. The red vinyl seating is unchanged. And Tony’s booth where he sat with his son, AJ, and his wife Carmela (his back to the wall, but unthinkingly in the direct line-of-fire of the men’s room) awaiting the arrival of daughter Meadow, remains intact.
Atop the worn yellow tabletop where they perused Holsten’s menu is a shiny chrome jukebox, the only one in the place. It’s just a prop that doesn’t do anything, but appears ready to play Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” at the drop of a quarter. If the booth is open, it’s the first place most diners want to sit. Or at least take a selfie.
The plastic laminated Holsten’s menu that Tony slaps down in front of his wife and son in an oddly affectionate gesture, has also not changed.
“What looks good tonight?” Carmela asks.
Truth be told, there’s actually little for her choose for dinner. It’s not an extensive menu. Despite its two pages, much of it is taken up by Holsten’s raison d’être: ice cream, sundaes, floats, milkshakes and ice cream sodas. Still, there are hamburgers, cold and grilled sandwiches, double-decker clubs and cheesesteaks. Of course, there are onion rings, although curiously not featured prominently despite their starring role in the episode.
Still, if Mr. Soprano did indeed lose his life in that final scene, at least he did it in one of the Garden State’s greatest food establishments. What looks good tonight for us is the cheeseburger deluxe, a grilled chicken sandwich, a vanilla Coke, a chocolate egg cream, as well as the onion rings.
Maybe onion rings were Tony’s last meal. We hope not. We like to think he got to order the vanilla Coke, made fresh with vanilla syrup.
The grilled chicken was average diner fare, but they do know how to make an egg cream, which contains neither eggs nor cream, but was once a required job skill of any respectable soda jerk in Brooklyn.
Tony most definitely should have ordered one of Holsten’s understated but nonetheless scrumptious cheeseburgers. It’s not huge, and it’s not piled high with toppings. It isn’t wagyu. Just ground beef, American cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and ketchup if you’re so inclined.
It’s satisfying but you won’t be stuffed to the point where you don’t have room for ice cream (the best in New Jersey according to our latest ranking). If Tony was as smart as we think he was, he was ordering a duster sundae — Holsten’s signature dish. The requisite malt dust’s singular flavor, sprinkled atop Holsten’s already marvelously creamy ice cream, is truly an essential New Jersey food experience.
As for the pièce de resistance, there’s nothing wrong with Holsten’s onion rings, which come frozen in a bag like so many others. But has there ever been anything wrong with onion rings?
We have had hand-cut onion rings at one of the top steakhouses in the state, and chowed down on less dutifully prepared offerings at Jersey’s ubiquitous diners. Truth be told, as long as there is a sliver of onion, some batter and it gets thrown in a fryer, it’s probably going to taste pretty good. Greasy and salty, crunchy and golden, less is indeed more when it comes to the deep-fried delicacy.
While A.J. seemed to sniff derisively as he sat down, Tony was undeterred by his son’s attitude when he ordered them for the table.
But was Soprano right? Does Holsten’s have the very best onion rings in the state?
After a summer on the road eating at the scene of the crime in locales ranging from a Chili’s in Freehold to the Morton’s Steakhouse in Atlantic City, we would definitely have to sa… | https://www.nj.com/news/2022/09/onion-rings-to-die-for.html | 2022-09-03T12:11:01Z | https://www.nj.com/news/2022/09/onion-rings-to-die-for.html | false |
Scientists are unsure about how ‘Nano Urea’ benefits crops
Farmers are benefitting from it and, ultimately, they are the best judge, says inventor Ramesh Raliya
‘Nano Urea’, a fertilizer patented and sold by the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), has been approved by the government for commercial use because of its potential to substantially reduce the import bill, but several experts have questioned the science underlying its efficacy.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while inaugurating a Nano Urea production plant at Kalol, Gujarat on May 28, said, “…a small bottle (500 ml) of Nano Urea is equivalent to one 50 kg bag of granular urea currently used by farmers”.
IFFCO’s Nano Urea contains nitrogen, an element critical for plant development, in the form of granules that are a hundred thousand times finer than a sheet of paper. At this ‘nano’ scale, which is about a billionth of a metre, materials behave differently than in the visible realm.
Ramesh Raliya, 34, who is credited as the inventor of Nano Urea and is now a consultant with IFFCO, told The Hindu that his process uses “organic polymers” that keeps the ‘nano’ particles of nitrogen stable and in a form that can be sprayed onto plants.
Chemically, packaged urea is 46% nitrogen, which means a 45 kg sack contains about 20 kg of nitrogen. Contrastingly, Nano Urea sold in 500 ml bottles has only 4% nitrogen (or around 20 gm). How this can compensate for the kilogrammes of nitrogen normally required puzzles scientists.
Plants need nitrogen to make protein and they source almost all of it from soil bacteria which live in a plant’s roots and have the ability to break down atmospheric nitrogen, or that from chemicals such as urea, into a form usable by plants.
To produce one tonne of wheat grain, a plant needs 25 kg of nitrogen. For rice, it’s 20 kg of nitrogen, and for maize, it’s 30 kg of nitrogen. Not all the urea cast on the soil, or sprayed on leaves in the case of Nano Urea, can be utilised by the plant. If 60% of the available nitrogen were used, it would yield 496 kg of wheat grain. Even if 100% of 20 gm of Nano Urea, which is what is effectively available, is utilised by the plant, it will yield only 368 gm of grain, said N.K. Tomar, retired Professor of Soil Science at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University, Hissar, Haryana.
“Therefore, total attempt is futile causing sheer wastage of money. This claim of IFFCO is unfounded and will be disastrous for farmers,” he notes in a letter to the NITI Aayog as well as the National Academy for Agricultural Sciences. Dr. Tomar told The Hindu they had not yet responded to his letter.
His views are seconded by I.P. Abrol, retired former Deputy Director General, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). “Urea is highly water soluble and already reaches the lowest form of concentration when absorbed. How nanoparticles can increase the effectiveness of nitrogen uptake by being still smaller is unclear to me. That foliar spraying (spraying on leaves) improves fertilizer uptake is known for over half a century. So what’s new here?” Dr. Abrol asked.
Unlike the coarse particles that farmers normally throw onto the soil during sowing, the nano particle form of Nano Urea, when applied on to the leaves, stimulates a range of enzymes, like nitrase and nitrite reductase, which helps plants metabolise nitrogen, Dr. Raliya said.
Different parts of the plant contain nitrogen in varying proportions and because nano particles are so small and numerous, they have a lot more surface area relative to their volume, compared with the millimetre-size grains of urea that plants are exposed to — nearly 10,000 times more in nitrogen. “The interaction and metabolism is vastly improved and therefore the response (in terms of yield) is more. Take the smartphone — smaller batteries and processors are able to provide as much power as bigger batteries once did because we use nanomaterials of carbon, titanium dioxide and graphene. The quantum effects of nanoparticles and the increased surface area make the nano particles in Nano Urea deliver more nitrogen,” Dr. Raliya explained.
There are still several aspects of plant activity when exposed to nano particles that are unclear and a subject of research. “I have several research papers on this and still many questions. But we have results from experiments and that was the basis of why the product was approved by government. The farmers are benefitting from it and, ultimately, they are the best judge,” he added.
An agronomist affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture who declined to be identified said that the increase in yields that were observed in plants which received Nano Urea was simply explained by the fact that in the first year, the nitrogen present in the soil and fertilizer was sufficient, due to which supplying nitrogen via Nano Urea was superfluous. “For example, you have money in your pocket and every year, you take a little out. At some point, you’ll run out,” he reasoned.
Dr. Raliya challenged this assertion. As part of his research work that led to the development of Nano Urea, he said he had tested if the Nano Urea was causing depletion of soil nitrogen and it wasn’t. “The amount of nitrogen in most plants is very limited, about 1%-1.5%. We saw that there was no reduction in nitrogen in the leaf, or soil,” he said.
As part of his research, there were tests done to see if Nano Urea sprayed along with organic farming methods could compensate for packaged urea. “We saw there was no loss of yield. However, you cannot wean farmers away from packaged urea overnight as these are deeply ingrained behaviours. Over the years, as farmers see results, they will themselves apply less of the packaged urea,” said Dr. Raliya, who completed his Doctoral studies at the ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur, and comes from a farming family.
Trilochan Mohapatra, former Director General, ICAR, during whose tenure the product was approved, told The Hindu that while the verdict on the mechanism of Nano Urea was still awaited, it was well established that much of the urea now applied on the fields was wasted. “It is fact that 70% of the urea applied today is wasted. How much of that remaining 30% actually makes it to the plant depends on a multitude of factors from how you spray to the soil quality. It’s possible that the nano particles may be aiding efficiency but proof is awaited,” Dr. Mohapatra said.

EAST LANSING – A year after opening the season with a Big Ten win on the road, Michigan State pulled out a nonconference victory at home to kick off the schedule.
The No. 15 Spartans pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 35-13 win against Western Michigan on Friday night in front of a crowd of 73,928 in East Lansing.
Here are observations and takeaways for Michigan State from the game:
* Michigan State closed as a 21.5-point favorite according to vegasinsider.com and covered the spread but it was a somewhat misleading final margin. The Spartans took a 21-3 lead into halftime and seemed poised to pull away early in the second half, only for their advantage to be cut to eight late in the third quarter.
Western Michigan had the momentum and a chance to make the game even closer but Michigan State finished strong. Jalen Berger scored on a 1-yard run midway through the fourth quarter and Payton Thorne threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Tre Mosley less than three minutes later for a 22-point advantage. The defense also came through when needed by forcing Western Michigan to a pair of punts and a turnover on downs in its last three possessions.
* Just one game into the season, there are concerns about the health of two of Michigan State’s key defensive players. Starting safety Xavier Henderson and starting linebacker Darius Snow both left the game in the second quarter due to injury and neither returned.
Snow was hurt in a collision with a teammate and limped to the sideline while being helped by trainers. It’s unclear how Henderson was injured and he spent the second half on the sideline wearing street clothes with a brace on his right leg while using crutches.
Following the game, Tucker said he didn’t have an update on either player, would know more on Saturday and could possibly share new information during his press conference on Monday.
Severity of injuries to Michigan State’s Xavier Henderson, Darius Snow remains unclear
Henderson, a fifth-year senior, four-year starter and team captain, would be a major loss if out for an extended period of time. Snow, who started at both nickelback and safety last season before moving to linebacker in the spring, has versatility that appeared key in how the Spartans match up with opponents.
* Thorne began his second season as the starting quarterback by completing 12 of 24 passes for 233 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while also rushing for 22 yards. The redshirt junior said he was disappointed in his performance.
Playing against his dad, first-year Western Michigan offensive coordinator Jeff Thorne, Thorne overthrew a few receivers early, including Jayden Reed down the sideline for what could have been a touchdown. He was also picked off while throwing across his body on the run late in the second quarter – a play he called “really stupid” – when Michigan State was just outside the red zone.
Thorne has high expectations for himself and it was far from a flawless performance but he also tied a career high in touchdown passes with those spread out to four different players.
* There’s clarity about the depth chart behind Thorne after he was forced to the sideline. The quarterback took a hit while sliding on a run in the third quarter that drew a flag and trainers came out to look at him.
When Thorne went to the sideline, redshirt sophomore Noah Kim replaced him for one snap while making his college debut. Offensive coordinator Jay Johnson was aggressive as Kim threw to the end zone for Reed, which was incomplete but drew a flag for pass interference on the Broncos.
During fall camp, Johnson said Kim probably had the edge at the time for the backup spot over true freshman Katin Houser. That proved to be the case and Thorne is no longer the only quarterback on the roster who has taken a snap in a college game.
* After a long offseason of talk about what the backfield would look like without All-American Kenneth Walker III, there were finally real answers. Berger, a transfer from Wisconsin, had 16 carries for a career-high 120 yards and a touchdown, to go with a fumble. His 50-yard run in the fourth quarter set up the 1-yard touchdown run as the Spartans pulled away.
Colorado transfer Jarek Broussard was the top backup and had 10 carries for 54 yards. He was the only other running back to carry the ball as returners Elijah Collins, Jordon Simmons and Harold Joiner appeared in the game but mostly on special teams.
It wasn’t a surprise to see Berger and Broussard get the bulk of the workload given they were brought in to add to backfield talent. Friday’s game just cleared up some offseason speculation about where the Spartans stood at the position.
* Reed, an All-American who left the game banged up during the second quarter before returning after halftime, had a fairly quiet night with only two catches for 31 yards, two punt returns for 21 yards and a 20-yard kickoff return. Michigan State had other pass catchers step up, including young talent.
True freshman receiver Germie Bernard caught a short pass and took advantage of a defensive miscue to sprint for a 44-yard touchdown run. Sophomore receiver Keon Coleman had career highs with four catches for 84 yards and a touchdown to lead the Spartans while Mosley had two catches for 51 yards. Tight end Daniel Barker, an offseason graduate transfer addition from Illinois, hauled in a 13-yard touchdown catch with one hand and also logged two carries.
Overheard outside Michigan State’s locker room: Mindset to dominate and a stupid play
Michigan State didn’t go deep at receiver with Reed, Mosley, Coleman and Bernard getting snaps while Montorie Foster and Terry Lockett Jr. were unavailable for the game. Tight ends Maliq Carr and Tyler Hunt each had one catch and combined for 10 yards.
* Following the loss of three starters and key depth, Michigan State’s reworked offensive line looked mostly as expected, with one twist. Instead of returner starter Jarrett Horst getting the nod at left tackle, it was Brandon Baldwin. The redshirt sophomore and former junior college transfer who joined the program last year made his debut with the program and got the bulk of the snaps before Horst replaced him in the third quarter for three possessions.
The other starters up front were left guard J.D. Duplain, center Nick Samac, right guard Matt Carrick and right tackle Spencer Brown. Michigan State went only seven deep on the offensive line as Washington State graduate transfer Brian Greene played both right and left guard.
Horst, Duplain, Samac, Carrick and Brown were the only returning offensive linemen with game experience while Greene played both center and guard for the Cougars. Greene wasn’t among the three centers out for pregame warmups snapping to the quarterbacks.
* As was the case last year, Michigan State rotated heavily on the defensive line. At tackle, Jacob Slade and Simeon Barrow remained the starters while Maverick Hansen, Derrick Harmon and true freshman Alex VanSumeren earned snaps. Slade had two tackles while Barrow had two stops and a fumble recovery. Tackles Jalen Hunt and Dashaun Mallory didn’t dress for the game.
The rotation at defensive end was interesting as Jeff Pietrowski got the start opposite Jacoby Windmon. An offseason transfer addition from UNLV, Windmon worked at both linebacker and defensive end during fall camp. He said the move to defensive end came about a week ago and he had a monster Michigan State debut with seven tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble as a standup edge rusher. Windmon’s four sacks tied for the second most in a game in program history and were the most for a Spartan since 2003.
Jacoby Windmon dazzles in 4-sack debut for Michigan State
Aaron Brule, a graduate transfer from Mississippi State who is also listed as a linebacker, played on the edge and had a sack while also lining up wide in pass coverage. Florida defensive end transfer Khris Bogle had three tackles with a sack while Brandon Wright, Avery Dunn and true freshman Zion Young earned playing time at end.
Michigan State was mostly solid against the run – minus a couple exceptions – while giving up 141 yards on 37 carries. The outliers were allowing quarterback Jack Salopek to scramble for a 61-yard gain and giving up a 45-yard rush to Sean Tyler.
* With Windmon and Brule lining up on the edge and following the loss of Snow due to injury, Michigan State’s two primary linebackers were returning starter Cal Haladay and Ben VanSumeren. Haladay had 10 tackles while VanSumeren, a transfer addition from Michigan last year who entered his name in the portal in the spring before eventually pulling it out, looked significantly improved. He recorded a career-high 11 tackles, including one for a loss, while making his second career start for the Spartans.
* Georgia graduate transfer cornerback Ameer Speed getting the start in his Michigan State debut wasn’t a surprise. However, it was notable that sophomore Charles Brantley, who made one start last season, started over Ronald Williams. Brantley had a career-high 10 tackles and a pass break-up while Speed made six tackles. Williams and Marqui Lowery played sparingly. Nickelback Chester Kimbrough had six tackles, one sack, a fumble recovery and two pass break-ups.
At safety, there was very little experience after Henderson and fellow returning starter Angelo Grose. When Henderson left due to injury, Kendell Brooks, who joined the program last year as a transfer from Division II North Greenville University, took his place and finished with five tackles and a forced fumble. When Brooks was banged up, true freshman Jaden Mangham replaced him before Brooks returned.
Making his first career start, Salopek finished 21-for-36 passing for 193 yards, zero touchdowns and no interceptions. Michigan State got to him with seven sacks but he also found a rhythm at times while converting on third down.
* Bryce Baringer returned as the starting punter and boomed his first attempt 67 yards to pin Western Michigan at its own 4-yard line. The sixth-year senior and former walk-on averaged 50.5 yards on four punts with a long of 70.
Following the loss of five-year starter Matt Coghlin, Michigan State broke in a new starting kicker in true freshman Jack Stone. The only scholarship player at the position, he made all five of his extra points and missed his lone field goal attempt wide left from 44 yards out. Sophomore walk-on Stephen Rusnak and Ben Patton, a walk-on graduate transfer from Auburn who joined the program late in fall camp, are Stone’s top competition for the job. Stone also handled the kickoffs with three touchbacks on six attempts.
Reed was the primary returner while Broussard had one kickoff return for 18 yards.

Fuel leak disrupts NASA's 2nd shot at launching moon rocket
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA's new moon rocket sprang another hazardous leak Saturday, as the launch team began fueling it for liftoff on a test flight that must go well before astronauts climb aboard.
For the second time this week, the launch team began loading nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA. Monday´s attempt was halted by a bad engine sensor and leaking fuel.
As the sun rose, an over-pressure alarm sounded and the tanking operation was briefly halted, but no damage occurred and the effort resumed, NASA's Launch Control reported. But minutes later, hydrogen fuel began leaking from the engine section at the bottom of the rocket. NASA halted the operation, while engineers scrambled to plug what was believed to be a gap around a seal.
The countdown clocks continued ticking toward an afternoon liftoff; NASA had two hours Saturday to get the rocket off.
NASA wants to send the crew capsule atop the rocket around the moon, pushing it to the limit before astronauts get on the next flight. If the five-week demo with test dummies succeeds, astronauts could fly around the moon in 2024 and land on it in 2025. People last walked on the moon 50 years ago.
Forecasters expected generally favorable weather at Kennedy Space Center, especially toward the end of the two-hour afternoon launch window.

At the same time, the rocket's lead engineers expressed confidence in the tightened-up fuel lines and procedure changes.
On Monday, a sensor indicated one of the four engines was too warm, but engineers later verified it actually was cold enough. The launch team planned to ignore the faulty sensor this time around and rely on other instruments to ensure each main engine was properly chilled.
Before igniting, the main engines need to be as frigid as the liquid hydrogen fuel flowing into them at minus-420 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-250 degrees Celsius). If not, the resulting damage could lead to an abrupt engine shutdown and aborted flight.
Mission managers accepted the additional risk posed by the engine issue as well as a separate problem: cracks in the rocket's insulating foam. But they acknowledged other problems could prompt yet another delay.
That didn't stop thousands from jamming the coast to see the Space Launch System rocket soar. Local authorities expected massive crowds because of the long Labor Day holiday weekend.
The $4.1 billion test flight is the first step in NASA's Artemis program of renewed lunar exploration, named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology.
Twelve astronauts walked on the moon during NASA´s Apollo program, the last time in 1972.
Artemis - years behind schedule and billions over budget - aims to establish a sustained human presence on the moon, with crews eventually spending weeks at a time there. It's considered a training ground for Mars.

Cardinals look to power past Cubs again
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to extend their lengthy power surge when they host the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
Tommy Edman hit a three-run homer and Lars Nootbaar hit a two-run blast as the Cardinals won 8-0 Friday night to open the three-game series at Busch Stadium.
Corner infielders Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado have combined for 61 homers and 194 RBIs this season to drive the Cardinals offense. Albert Pujols (eight homers, 17 RBIs in August), Nootbaar (six homers and 17 RBIs since the start of August) and Tyler O'Neill (seven homers, 22 RBIs since the start of August) also heated up as the Cardinals have rolled to a 26-8 mark since July 26.
"We have a really deep lineup," Edman told Bally Sports Midwest after Friday's victory. "Not just our lineup, but our bench too, our entire offensive side of the ball. We all can string together good at bats. The performance today is what we're capable of."
Saturday's starting pitcher for St. Louis, Adam Wainwright (9-9, 3.09 ERA), allowed two runs on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings against the Atlanta Braves in his most recent start on Sunday. St. Louis eventually rallied to win that game 6-3, but Wainwright didn't figure into the decision.
"For a little while, we had this thing where we fell behind (and) it felt like, 'Oh, shoot, we're going to lose,'" Wainwright said. "And we needed to kick that in the butt. I think we all had to look at ourselves in the mirror and realize we're a good team."
Wainwright is 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA in three starts against the Cubs this season. In his career he is 18-14 with a 3.78 ERA in 56 outings, including 47 starts.
Ian Happ (9-for-29, four homers, six RBIs), Yan Gomes (5-for-13), Christopher Morel (3-for-7) and Rafael Ortega (4-for-11) have hit well against Wainwright in their careers.
Drew Smyly (5-7, 3.24) will try to build on the success he and the rest of the Cubs rotation enjoyed last month. He was 2-1 with a 0.90 ERA in five August starts.
"Everything's kind of connecting right now," Smyly said. "My mechanics really feel in sync."
His one loss last month came in a 1-0 game against the Cardinals on Aug. 22. He held the Cardinals to four hits and two walks while striking out six batters in seven innings.
The only run he allowed came on Pujols' homer on a neck-high pitch.
"He's 'The Machine' for a reason," Smyly observed afterward.
Overall Cubs starters finished August with a 3.15 ERA, which was fifth-best in the majors.
Smyly is 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA in four career starts against the Cardinals. He has fared well against Edman (0-for-9), Yadier Molina (0-for-6) and Paul DeJong (1-for-9).
The Cubs added pitcher Jeremiah Estrada and infielder David Bote for this series as MLB rosters expanded from 26 to 28. The Cardinals added reliever James Naile and outfielder Ben DeLuzio.
St. Louis leads the season series between the clubs 11-6.

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s and Europe’s largest nuclear plant was once again knocked offline in the early hours of Saturday amid sustained shelling that destroyed a key power line and penetrated deep into the plant’s premises, local Russian-backed authorities said.
The claims came barely a day after a team of inspectors from the U.N. nuclear agency arrived at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which has been caught in fierce recent fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces, six months after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine.
The IAEA’s mission is meant to help secure the site as Moscow and Kyiv continue to trade blame for shelling at and around the nuclear plant.
“The Dneprovskaya power line has been hit. The nuclear power plant has switched to servicing its own needs,” Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Kremlin-appointed regional administration, wrote on Telegram, adding that a shell had struck an area between two reactors. His claims could not be immediately verified.
Late on Friday evening, the Russian-backed authorities reported that the plant had been under fire for about two hours, blaming Ukrainian forces in the latest of a series of similar claims.
As of Saturday morning, neither the Ukrainian government nor the country’s nuclear energy operator, Enerhoatom, had commented on these allegations.
The plant has repeatedly suffered complete disconnection from Ukraine’s power grid since last week, with Enerhoatom blaming mortar shelling and fires near the site.
Local Ukrainian authorities accused Moscow of pounding two cities that overlook the plant across the Dnieper river with rockets, also an accusation they have made repeatedly over the past weeks.
In Zorya, a small village about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Zaporizhzhia plant, residents on Friday could hear the sound of explosions in the area.
It’s not the shelling that scared them the most, but the risk of a radioactive leak in the plant.
“The power plant, yes, this is the scariest,” Natalia Stokoz, a mother of three, said. “Because the kids and adults will be affected, and it’s scary if the nuclear power plant is blown up.”
Oleksandr Pasko, a 31-year-old farmer, said “there is anxiety because we are quite close.” Pasko said that the Russian shelling has intensified in recent weeks.
During the first weeks of the war, authorities gave iodine tablets and masks to people living near the plant in case of radiation exposure.
Recently, they’ve also distributed iodine pills in Zaporizhzhia city, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the plant.
Local officials on Saturday reported Russian forces shelling and launching missile attacks on residential areas in Ukraine’s east and northeast.
The governor of the eastern Donetsk region, the site of some of the fiercest clashes in recent weeks, said that two civilians died and three more were injured on Friday. Pavlo Kyrylenko said in a Telegram post that casualties included one person killed in the strategic town of Zaitseve, where fighting continued for much of Friday as Russian forces tried to press deeper into Ukrainian-held territory and approach the key city of Bakhmut.
In the northeastern Kharkiv region, home to Ukraine’s second-largest city, governor Oleh Syniehubov said that six civilians were hospitalized overnight due to Russian shelling.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Anticipating a tough winter in light of the war in Ukraine, three Balkan states agreed Friday to help each other with potential food or energy shortages and have urged the European Union to include the volatile region in its support plans.
The leaders of Serbia, North Macedonia and Albania held a summit in the Serbian capital Belgrade as part of the so-called Open Balkan initiative aimed at strengthening regional economic ties and stepping up joint efforts for EU membership.
“We are facing a hard winter and anyone who says different would not be fair and would not be telling the truth,” said Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
Officials said agreements signed at the summit include a pledge not to limit food exports between the three countries and to cooperate on energy imports as electricity and other prices have soared throughout Europe.
Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama called on the EU not to repeat its “shameful behavior” during the coronavirus pandemic that he said forced Balkan nations to turn to China, Russia and Turkey to quickly acquire vaccines.
“Prospects are really worrisome,” said Rama who suggested that the coming winter could be the worst since World War II. He added that the energy crisis will put a severe strain on the budgets of Balkan countries which will need additional EU support to purchase energy.
Countries in the Western Balkans include Albania, Serbia, Bosnia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo which are all at different stage in the EU accession process. The region is still plagued by instability stemming from the wars in the 1990s’ and the economic hardship that followed.
EU and U.S. officials have hailed the Open Balkan initiative as a way to boost regional cooperation and free trade by easing border procedures and taxes. The leaders of Serbia, Albania and North Macedonia have urged other countries in the region to join the project.
“This was the right step at the right moment,” said North Macedonia’s Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski. “We are here together to send a message of solidarity between our states and governments and readiness to jointly tackle the crisis and the tough winter that we are facing.”
Also present at the gathering were the foreign ministers of Turkey and Hungary who pledged their countries’ help to the region and urged the EU to speed up the accession agenda.
The meeting in Belgrade is the first after the EU launched accession talks with North Macedonia and Albania in July after years of waiting. While Western Balkan countries say they remain committed to the integration into the bloc, there have been fears Russia and China could step in as the process drags on.
Concerns of renewed instability have mounted recently after tensions between Serbia and Kosovo surged last month over problems with recognition of each other’s vehicle license plates and identity documents.
Serbia does not recognize Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence. The EU has been mediating in the dispute but Belgrade maintains close relations with Moscow and has relied on Russia and China in its bid retain claim on the former province. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/ap-3-balkan-countries-to-work-on-averting-food-energy-shortage/ | 2022-09-03T12:46:21Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/ap-3-balkan-countries-to-work-on-averting-food-energy-shortage/ | true |

Circle K gas is 40 cents off per gallon on Sept. 1 ahead of Labor Day travel
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Circle K is offering drivers 40 cents off per gallon of gas on Thursday nationwide ahead of the busy holiday travel weekend.
The deal is happening at more than 3,600 Circle K fuel locations across the United States, the company said. Drivers can receive the discount between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time, and any customer waiting in line for gas before 7 p.m. will get the discount.
"It’s been a challenging summer for travel, so we want to thank our customers for their loyalty by offering them additional savings ahead of the busy holiday weekend, ending the summer on a high note," Nathan Woodland, a Circle K North America executive, said in a statement.
The fuel sale is only available at participating locations that sell "Circle K-branded fuel," the company said. The price on the pump will reflect the discounted price at that time, it added.
Find your nearest participating location here: www.circlek.com/fuel-day.
Despite ongoing disruptions to flights and higher costs due to inflation, the number of people expected to travel over the U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend is expected to climb to pre-pandemic levels, according to travel experts.
"People are not deciding to stay home, they are still going, they are still finding a way to travel," Paula Twidale, AAA senior vice president of travel, told Reuters.
Current average price of gas in US
Meanwhile, drivers have also begun to see some relief when it comes to fuel costs, as compared to the peak in mid-June.
The current national average for a gallon of regular-grade fuel is about $3.83, according to AAA. That’s down about $1.19 cents from the highest recorded average on June 14, and a decline of about 38 cents from a month ago.
But compared to a year ago, the national average is still 65 cents higher compared to this time last year.

NASA's new moon rocket sprang another hazardous leak Saturday, as the launch team began fueling it for liftoff on a test flight that must go well before astronauts climb aboard.
For the second time this week, the launch team began loading nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA. Monday’s attempt was halted by a bad engine sensor and leaking fuel.
As the sun rose, an over-pressure alarm sounded and the tanking operation was briefly halted, but no damage occurred and the effort resumed, NASA's Launch Control reported. But minutes later, hydrogen fuel began leaking from the engine section at the bottom of the rocket. NASA halted the operation, while engineers scrambled to plug what was believed to be a gap around a seal.
The countdown clocks continued ticking toward an afternoon liftoff; NASA had two hours Saturday to get the rocket off.
NASA wants to send the crew capsule atop the rocket around the moon, pushing it to the limit before astronauts get on the next flight. If the five-week demo with test dummies succeeds, astronauts could fly around the moon in 2024 and land on it in 2025. People last walked on the moon 50 years ago.
Forecasters expected generally favorable weather at Kennedy Space Center, especially toward the end of the two-hour afternoon launch window.
At the same time, the rocket's lead engineers expressed confidence in the tightened-up fuel lines and procedure changes.
On Monday, a sensor indicated one of the four engines was too warm, but engineers later verified it actually was cold enough. The launch team planned to ignore the faulty sensor this time around and rely on other instruments to ensure each main engine was properly chilled.
Before igniting, the main engines need to be as frigid as the liquid hydrogen fuel flowing into them at minus-420 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-250 degrees Celsius). If not, the resulting damage could lead to an abrupt engine shutdown and aborted flight.
Mission managers accepted the additional risk posed by the engine issue as well as a separate problem: cracks in the rocket's insulating foam. But they acknowledged other problems could prompt yet another delay.
That didn't stop thousands from jamming the coast to see the Space Launch System rocket soar. Local authorities expected massive crowds because of the long Labor Day holiday weekend.
The $4.1 billion test flight is the first step in NASA's Artemis program of renewed lunar exploration, named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology.
Twelve astronauts walked on the moon during NASA’s Apollo program, the last time in 1972.
Artemis — years behind schedule and billions over budget — aims to establish a sustained human presence on the moon, with crews eventually spending weeks at a time there. It's considered a training ground for Mars.

Do smart devices constantly listen to you?
Smart devices can enhance your life in numerous ways. Still, some people feel they listen in on their private conversations. Most smart devices have built-in microphones, so it isn’t just paranoia that leads people to believe they’re being spied on. To learn more about how smart devices work and whether they always listen, we sat down with our tech expert, Jaime Vazquez.
Everything you need to know about smart device privacy
Do smart devices listen all the time?
It is fair to say that smart devices listen 100% of the time. Still, it’s important to note that this doesn’t mean they record 100% of the time.
Many smart devices have an indicator, such as a light, that lets you know when they’re recording. These devices have microphones programmed to listen for specific wake words. For example, most Echo devices listen for the word “Alexa.”
A smart speaker starts recording when it hears its wake word. Once the device finishes recording your command, it sends the order to a server that processes your request and stops recording.
Is there anything you can do to stop your smart device from listening?
Although your smart speaker doesn’t record everything you say, it is natural to want to prevent it from listening throughout the day.
When asked how you can stop your devices from listening, Vazquez said, “They all have controls that let you set availability schedules. For example, you can set the Echo Kid’s Edition to stop listening to commands after a specific time of day. If you know someone named Alex or Alexa, it may be worth updating the wake word on your Echo devices. If you really want to take control of your devices, you might consider plugging them into smart plugs so you can easily turn them off when you aren’t using them.”
Which smart devices have the best privacy track record?
When shopping for a smart device, it’s worth considering which brand has the best history of protecting its customers’ privacy. Per Vazquez, “Apple has the best privacy track record overall, followed by Google and Amazon. That said, I would rank Amazon as the most proactive about privacy. They really got their privacy act together in 2020 and rolled out a framework that gave users a ton of control over their privacy. Now, Alexa sets the standard for the level of control you should have.”
Do smart devices with cameras watch you throughout the day?
Most camera-equipped smart devices only record video when you activate a feature that requires it. Amazon’s Echo Show devices have a built-in camera cover you can use when you don’t want it to record.
If you have a smart device that doesn’t have a built-in camera cover, you can typically buy one for less than $20.
Other privacy tips to consider
- Think about your smart device’s location: You likely don’t need a smart speaker in every room. Try using your device’s wake word in an adjacent room to test the distance it can hear and record. Additionally, it may be worth leaving them out of your home office if you’re worried about them recording you while you work.
- Explore privacy controls: All smart devices have privacy settings. After you’ve set your device up, take a minute to explore its settings and ensure you’re comfortable with the level of privacy it offers.
- Unplug them when you don’t need them: If you mainly use your voice assistant on the weekends, it may be worth unplugging throughout the week. You aren’t likely to need them when you’re on vacation, so they can be left unplugged until you get back.
- Let your guests know you have smart devices: People may have different levels of comfortability with smart speakers. When you have a guest over for the first time, it may be worth turning them off or letting your guests know.
- Request your data from the manufacturer: Apple, Amazon and Google allow you to request an email containing all the data they have collected about you, including data from smart devices.

California promised to improve response to deadly heat waves. It’s still struggling
Just two months before California would face its most severe heat wave of the year, Marta Segura was named Los Angeles’ inaugural chief heat officer and given the monumental task of improving the city’s preparation and response to the growing threat of extreme temperatures.
The move was a historic one — only two other U.S. cities, Miami and Phoenix, have officials who are devoted to the crisis of rising temperatures. Already, officials say, Segura has championed better coordination, communication and urgency surrounding the city’s heat policies and resources.
But Segura acknowledges the improvements are only initial steps toward the profound changes necessary to mitigate the effects of dangerous heat events, which have only become more frequent and more lethal in recent years because of climate change.
“I think it’s a good sign of things to come,” said L.A. City Councilmember Paul Krekorian, who introduced the measure that created the chief heat officer position. “But there’s a lot more that we have to do, there’s a lot more that I want to see us do, but I think we’re off to a good start.”
Segura is working to finalize the city’s Heat Action Plan, which she said will focus on investments in further green infrastructure, strategies to reduce systems that exacerbate urban heat and grass-roots input to target neighborhoods most at risk from the harm of extreme heat.
Some worry that with Segura’s limited staff and budget — she has just two full-time employees and $1 million in allocated funds — her ability to implement those larger changes may be limited. They also note that her heat officer role comes on top of her other full-time position as the city’s climate emergency mobilization director.
The current heat wave is a test of promises made by both local and state officials to better protect the vulnerable from heat-related illnesses and improve what critics have called California’s insufficient investment in heat-related safety programs. Though some progress has been made, there have also been setbacks, including some proposed state legislation that has stalled. Other more concrete steps are expected to take years.
Forecasters and officials have warned of oppressive temperatures through the Labor Day weekend, with days expected to be 10 to 20 degrees above average in some areas and little relief at night.
Californians have been under daily Flex Alerts since Wednesday, and numerous firefighters have suffered heat injuries while battling a brushfire in Castaic. Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency to buoy energy supplies and avoid rolling blackouts. Such power shut-offs can have dangerous and potentially deadly consequences during periods of extreme heat.
A Times investigation published last year revealed that California has done a poor job of tracking the number of people who have died because of extreme heat, and has largely failed to provide adequate resources to communities most at risk.
Jonathan Parfrey, executive director of the nonprofit, Climate Resolve, has been a vocal advocate for state and local leaders to substantially change how they address extreme heat. He’s seen little improvement, despite repeated warnings.
“There is a massive failure on the part of public officials to adequately respond to the extreme heat events fueled by climate change,” Parfrey said.
A report last year by the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation found significant gaps in California’s policies confronting the extreme heat crisis and called for a more coordinated approach.
The state has made progress in confronting extreme heat, such as the 2021 budget infusion that focused on addressing the problem, said Colleen Callahan, co-executive director at the Luskin Center. That funding is now estimated at $865 million.
But even though lawmakers kicked off this year with a package of proposed heat-related bills, only a handful of them reached the governor’s desk. They included a measure that would establish a statewide warning system for extreme heat events by 2025, similar to warnings that are issued for wildfires and hurricanes. If signed into law, it will be of the nation’s first heat-ranking systems.
Other wins this legislative session include a bill that requires the revision of the heat illness standard for outdoor workers laboring in temperatures above 105 degrees and allocating $10 million to the Department of Health to establish the real-time data monitoring of heat-related illnesses during heat waves.
In April, the state released an Extreme Heat Action Plan laying out protections for Californians from the dangers of extreme heat. Recommendations included greening school yards; increasing the number of cooling centers; better coordination and targeting of public messaging, particularly with underserved communities; and planting more trees in urban areas that lack their cooling shade.
That plan was an updated version of a 2013 strategy that included more than 40 proposals to prepare for the extreme heat crisis, the majority of which weren’t implemented, in part because of funding issues, officials told The Times. The updated Extreme Heat Action Plan has $365 million set aside from last year’s budget to carry out its proposals.
Unlike Los Angeles, the state doesn’t have a chief heat officer to advocate for and coordinate the crisis response. A plan that would have created that position failed in the Legislature for the second year in a row. Experts working on extreme heat policy say that is critical to the state’s goals against extreme heat.
“I think right now, there’s this feeling that something like extreme heat can be embedded in other policies,” said V. Kelly Turner, co-director of the Luskin Center for Innovation. More work needs to be done, experts say, and there needs to be an official role coordinating those efforts.
In Los Angeles, Segura said she is working to transform the city’s planning and messaging on extreme heat. She launched the #HeatRelief4LA campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of extreme temperatures and how to stay safe. Her office is partnering with local organizations to try to reach all Angelenos, she said.
And though Parfrey, the Climate Resolve leader, applauds forming a heat officer position in L.A., he said the reality of it falls short.
“We think that it’s a big, but insufficient, first step,” Parfrey said. Segura “already had an 80-hour-a-week job, and then they added this title onto her existing slate of activities.”
Segura said that although the additional role has been time-consuming, it was helpful having her background as the climate emergency mobilization director.
“I think since [extreme heat is] a climate hazard, it makes sense for the officer to be in the climate emergency mobilization office,” Segura said. “But I didn’t realize I was going to be the chief.”
Despite her small budget and team, Segura has partnered with other agencies to update and expand the county-wide map of air-conditioned facilities open to residents during extreme heat.
Her latest project is a city-specific “cool spot” map marking cooling centers, as well as hydration stations, shaded areas and other available shelters.
Krekorian said he’s been most excited by the “tremendous coordination” between Segura and other city departments to better prepare for this heat wave and plan for future heat mitigation.
But both Krekorian and Segura agree there’s still a lot left to do. Krekorian wants to see cooling centers expanded beyond libraries and recreation centers and utilize more natural community hubs, such as places of worship or local businesses.
Parfrey agreed there needs to be better options for those in need of relief during extreme heat. He called the cooling center system “woefully inadequate” and said that facilities are often under-utilized.
Fewer than 300 people used the six centers that were set up at Los Angeles city facilities over the blistering Labor Day holiday weekend.
Segura said the city also needs much more green and blue infrastructure, which she described as vegetation and shade trees, and hydration stations or shade structures. And though the city has access to highly accurate and detailed mapping technology to understand which communities are hardest-hit during periods of extreme heat, L.A. still doesn’t have a real plan for how to best target and respond to these neighborhoods, whose residents tend to be low-income people of color
A new UCLA mapping tool alerts Los Angeles County residents of extreme-heat danger in their neighborhoods.
Segura said her office is working on improving communication mechanisms to reach those “frontline communities.” The need for L.A. and the state to better respond to extreme heat was urgent, she said, especially for those who are most susceptible.
“It’s not out of morality or charity or anything like that,” Segura said. “It’s because if we don’t serve the most vulnerable frontline communities and invest in them, then we’re not going to get to the climate solution for anyone.”

Column: On 10th anniversary of my death, still moving forward — in search of the right remote
Late August marked the 10-year anniversary of my death.
I didn’t give it much thought because I was busy, with visits to my cardiologist and a foot surgeon. The older you get, the more time you lose trying to stay alive.
Then I got an email from a woman who called herself an “ole lady” in her mid-70s, which I don’t think of as old. West Side Berti had read my column about shopping for an electric car and said no thanks, she’s happy to stick with her 2003 Toyota.
“She has both a CD player and a cassette player!!!!!” wrote Berti of her chariot.
She had to rent a car recently, but it had “so much new-fangled tech stuff in it” she couldn’t figure out what was what. Berti said she still uses a landline phone with an answering machine to screen her calls, although at the height of the pandemic, she did use Zoom to stay in touch with friends.
I can easily identify with an aversion to the insidious, dehumanizing intrusion of technology into our lives.
A wake-up call following knee replacement
You need your watch to find your phone, but why bother, because you can’t get a living person on the line. You need one remote to turn on the TV, one to change the channel, one to stream and one to beat yourself over the head.
You need a password to change your password, but then you have to decide whether you want to sign in on Facebook, Google or email, which requires, of course, a password.
“I really struggle, and a lot of it is attitude. I could learn it, but a part of me just doesn’t want to,” said Mike Washington, one of the regulars I’ve gotten to know at Tolliver’s Barbershop in South L.A.
Washington, in his 70s, bought an electric Mustang and said he can’t decipher half the tech options. His wife tells him that he better shape up, but Washington says he only learns what he has to, and nothing more.
“Us old broads are trying to learn the new technology because, I mean, we’re kind of trapped,” said Linda Harner, whom I met at the Culver City Senior Center, where she takes a Spanish class.
You just can’t deal effectively with the modern world unless you learn some tech skills, said Harner, who recently helped a disabled friend. The woman, who lives alone, was recovering from knee surgery and needed to create an account with her care provider.
“I helped her go online to get a password,” Harner said.
“Society is not built for aging,” said Jill Thomsen, the senior center supervisor. She’s in her 30s, she said, and even she is sometimes daunted.
“You get to the point where it’s like, TikTok? I’m not going to another social media site and trying to figure that out,” said Thomsen.
And yet, Thomsen noted, when the pandemic shut the doors at the senior center, some of the members used technology to stay connected.
“It’s a blessing and a curse,” said Maribeth Dougherty, who teaches the MindBody dance class at the senior center and ran her classes on Zoom during the shutdown.
As maddening as technology can be, Dougherty said, “When you’re making new neural pathways in your brain, there’s an upside.”
There’s an upside, as well, to the life force on a dance floor, with dozens of people defying time. I walked into Dougherty’s class and saw lots of inspiration.
“The little woman in the front, who I believe dances harder than anyone in the entire room, is about to turn 98 and she’s a Holocaust survivor. There’s another woman, from France, who’s a Holocaust survivor at 95 and moves like a teenager,” Dougherty later told me.
I noticed one nimble gent with a U.S. Open tennis T-shirt and a smile as wide as Santa Monica Bay.
“I am right now speaking to you on my iPhone while watching doubles tennis on television,” Homi Gandhi, 81, said when I called him the next day. He drives an electric car, and when I texted him the photos I had taken of him, he nimbly texted them to his children and grandchildren, who weighed in on which they liked best.
Gandhi, a retired accountant, said he doesn’t like how technology is abused by those who target seniors with solicitous sales pitches and otherwise invade their privacy. But whether it’s a Zoom class or communicating with family, he doesn’t want to get left behind.
“There’s no other way out,” Gandhi said.
Pete Matus, a teacher and events coordinator at the Pasadena Senior Center, told me the pandemic turned a lot of members into tech wizzes. They bought tablets and smartphones and learned how to shop for groceries, explore social media and take classes online.
There were some glitches. Namely, a few cases of people who forgot to disable the video feed while answering nature’s calls. And not everyone bought into the modern world, but the majority did.
“I’d say about 80% of them are there to change with the times,” said Matus, who teaches an iPhone and iPad class and told me that on scenic walks, seniors are learning photography and how to edit their reels.
Dr. Gene Dorio, a house call geriatric specialist in Santa Clarita, told me he tells tech-resistant patients they’re perfectly capable of learning the basics.
“I think we’re told or made to believe that tech is above our heads, but it’s nonsense, because once you learn it, you realize it’s not a problem,” said Dorio, a member of the L.A. County Commission for Older Adults.
Dorio told me that he recently visited a 95-year-old patient in a home where the temperature matched her age. She thought the air conditioning unit was broken. Dorio took a look, replaced a battery, and the temperature dropped 10 degrees in the time he was there.
Family members and others have to check up on the frail elderly, especially in the middle of deadly heat waves, Dorio said, and help them get a little more comfortable with tech. And senior centers and other organizations need to stress the importance of technology as potentially lifesaving, with various SOS devices that can detect a fall or some other emergency.
Ailing a bit, but determined not to miss a beat
We just need to make sure, with all this technology on the loose, that patient privacy is protected and telemedicine isn’t corrupted, and that life-saving gadgets are available to the many rather than the few.
That brings me back to my death and resurrection 10 years ago. I went into cardiac arrest in post-op, after a knee replacement, but was quickly resuscitated and left the hospital with a new knee and a pacemaker. I went on to have a second knee replacement a few months later and remained among the living on the second try.
If my heart does flips, I use a pacemaker monitor to read my condition and alert my cardiologist. During my visit with Dr. Leslie Saxon last week, she said I’m fine to undergo foot surgery if I so choose. She suggested that I consider a smartwatch because wherever I am, it can monitor my heart rate and even do an EKG, which I can download and send to her.
This could come in handy if, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of my death, I enroll in the MindBody dance class in Culver City, as teacher Dougherty suggested.
I told Dougherty that I have a bum foot and two knee replacements.
“Everyone in class has artificial joints,” she said.
The trick is to keep moving forward, no matter what.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly wasted little time after a decisive victory in Kansas for abortion rights before sending out a national fundraising email warning that access to the procedure would be “on the chopping block” if her party did not win in the November elections.
But her message to voters at large as she heads into the fall campaign is dramatically different, even as Democrats in other states stress abortion access as an issue.
A few days after her abortion-related fundraising email, Kelly’s team suggested she would be focusing her reelection campaign on the state’s now-healthy finances, robust funding for public schools and high-profile promises by businesses to create jobs.
Democrats are split over whether it’s the best strategy in a tough race against Republican Derek Schmidt, the three-term state attorney general. Kelly still has to win over some independents and moderate Republicans in her solidly red state, and although abortion access can attract centrist voters and drive turnout, it’s the economy — and the pinch at the grocery store from inflation — that remains a big concern for them.
“She needs to pull people from all kinds of areas,” said Joan Wagnon, a former Topeka mayor, state lawmaker and Kansas Democratic Party chair. While Kelly can use abortion as an issue to her advantage, Wagnon said, “I don’t think it’s the centerpiece of her campaign.”
Voters on Aug. 2 overwhelmingly rejected a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would have removed protections for abortion rights. It was the first state referendum on abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June.
Kelly’s approach heading into the general election contrasts with how Democratic Govs. Tony Evers in Wisconsin and Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan have made support for abortion rights central to their reelection campaigns. In Ohio, Democratic nominee Nan Whaley is stressing the issue in her race against anti-abortion Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.
Some Democrats think Kelly is missing an opportunity if she doesn’t follow suit.
“The only way you inspire young voters, which is who Laura Kelly needs, is to make them feel like you understand the issues that they care about right now,” said Christopher Reeves, a suburban Kansas City activist, consultant and former Democratic National Committee member. “And the issue that they care about, especially young women voters, is abortion.”
In winning her first term in 2018 by about 5 percentage points, Kelly wooed independent and moderate Republican voters by pitching herself as a commonsense, bipartisan leader.
But she also was running in a good year for Democrats — they regained a U.S. House majority — and against conservative Kris Kobach, who advocated for tough immigration policies as a major supporter of then-President Donald Trump.
Kelly’s stance on abortion rights brought Stephan Simmons, a 25-year-old higher education recruiter, firmly into her camp for November. Once a conservative Republican turned unaffiliated voter, he became a Democrat shortly before the Aug. 2 election.
He made sure he returned to Kansas City from a business trip in time to drive to his hometown of Wichita to vote in person. Along the way, he picked up a friend, Hunter Picard, so that Picard could vote in Rose Hill, southeast of Wichita. Picard, a 25-year-old chemist working in Lawrence, is unaffiliated.
Both said they thought of their sisters before voting against the proposed amendment. But Picard said he hasn’t decided how he will vote in the governor’s race in November.
Mandi Hunter, a 46-year-old real estate attorney from the Kansas City suburb of Leawood, is a self-described GOP moderate who voted against the proposed constitutional amendment. She, too, said she is undecided about her vote in November, though she noted that there will be more than just abortion on the ballot.
“They can’t ignore the other issues,” Hunter said.
Some Republicans believe voters will remain far more focused on the economy than abortion. Kelly is campaigning as if she agrees, staging a “Prosperity on the Plains” tour to promote her administration’s business development efforts.
Kelly campaign spokesperson, Madison Andrus, pivoted to economic and education issues when asked for more details about the governor’s position on abortion. The campaign would not say whether Kelly wants more abortion access than what is allowed now, with the state banning most abortions at the 22nd week of pregnancy and imposing other requirements such as a 24-hour waiting period.
Kelly’s staff didn’t make the governor available to discuss her campaign but provided a statement on her behalf to The Associated Press.
“The August 2 vote shows that Kansans want their government focused on things like the economy and schools — and not intervening in private medical decisions. Now that voters have spoken clearly, Governor Kelly will remain focused on bringing both parties together to get results — a balanced budget, cutting taxes, fully funding schools, and attracting new businesses to the state,” said campaign spokesperson Lauren Fitzgerald.
Schmidt, who backed the proposed constitutional change, said in a postelection statement that he has never “advocated for a ban” on abortion. He said he supports allowing abortions to save a woman’s life, in cases of rape and incest and when a fetus has a condition “that makes it impossible to survive outside the womb.”
On Thursday, Schmidt said the outcome of the referendum has to be “respected.” He said he would not advocate for new, tougher abortion laws but would instead focus on enforcing what is already on the books.
Some political operatives and pollsters argue for reading the Kansas vote narrowly, as opposition to a ban or a near-total ban rather than unconditional support for abortion in any circumstance.
An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll in July found that while a majority of people in the United States wanted Congress to pass a law guaranteeing access to abortion nationwide, only one-third said a state generally should allow abortions at 24 weeks. A little more than half would allow abortions at 15 weeks.
Charles Franklin, director of Marquette University’s Law School Poll, said Democrats should be running against severe abortion restrictions. “The challenge is,” he said, “how do you do that without seeming to be for unlimited abortion rights?”
Pat McPherron, a GOP pollster from Oklahoma City who works for U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., said he expects abortion to fade as an issue.
“It’s one that voters think has been asked and answered,” he said. “Voters move on.”
Abortion rights supporters acknowledged that they’re still trying to figure out how to keep their voters energized until November.
“Frankly, it’s our job to make sure they don’t move on,” said Susan Osborne, one of the leaders of Women for Kansas, a nonpartisan advocacy group that opposed the proposed amendment. “This was the beginning of the journey for us.”

At least two people were killed and several others hurt as gun violence continued to strike in Philadelphia overnight.
The shootings took place across the city from Kingsessing to Tioga to Fairhill.
Around 3:45 a.m., two men were shot near 52nd Street and Woodland Avenue in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Southwest Philadelphia, with one man in his 20s pronounced dead at the scene. A 39-year-old man was taken to Penn Presbytarian Medical Center and also pronounced dead.
One victim was shot in the leg during an attempted robbery on W. Westmoreland Street in the Tioga neighborhood of North Philadelphia, police said. The victim checked himself into a hospital and is currently listed in stable condition.
A man was also reportedly shot in the back on W. Indiana Avenue and N. Broad Street in North Philadelphia, police said. His condition was not immediately clear. A total of 60 shell cases were found at a scene, police said.
A 29-year-old woman was also shot in the cheek inside a house on the 6700 block of Jackson Street in Tacony, police said. She is in critical but stable condition.
Another man was also shot multiple times on N. Franklin and W. Cayuga Streets in the Hunting Park neighborhood early Saturday morning. His condition was not immediately available.

A man was also shot in the shoulder on American and Somerset Street in Fairhill. His condition was also not immediately known.
A count by the Philadelphia Office of the City Controller, last updated Sept. 1, shows at least 337 fatal and 1,275 non deadly victims of gunfire in 2022. The Philadelphia Police Department had recorded at least 364 killings, a 2% increase from the same time in 2021, which ended as the year with the most killings in Philadelphia's recorded history.

NASA's new moon rocket sprang another hazardous leak Saturday, as the launch team began fueling it for liftoff on a test flight that must go well before astronauts climb aboard.
For the second time this week, the launch team began loading nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA. Monday’s attempt was halted by a bad engine sensor and leaking fuel.
As the sun rose, an over-pressure alarm sounded and the tanking operation was briefly halted, but no damage occurred and the effort resumed. But minutes later, hydrogen fuel began leaking from the engine section at the bottom of the rocket. NASA halted the operation, while engineers scrambled to plug what was believed to be a gap around a seal in the supply line.
The countdown clocks continued ticking toward an afternoon liftoff; NASA had two hours Saturday to get the rocket off.
NASA wants to send the crew capsule atop the rocket around the moon, pushing it to the limit before astronauts get on the next flight. If the five-week demo with test dummies succeeds, astronauts could fly around the moon in 2024 and land on it in 2025. People last walked on the moon 50 years ago.
Forecasters expected generally favorable weather at Kennedy Space Center, especially toward the end of the two-hour afternoon launch window.
On Monday, hydrogen fuel escaped from elsewhere in the rocket. Technicians tightened up the fittings over the past week, but launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson stressed that she wouldn't know whether everything was tight until Saturday's fueling.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Even more of a problem on Monday, a sensor indicated one of the rocket's four engines was too warm, but engineers later verified it actually was cold enough. The launch team planned to ignore the faulty sensor this time around and rely on other instruments to ensure each main engine was properly chilled.
Before igniting, the main engines need to be as frigid as the liquid hydrogen fuel flowing into them at minus-420 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-250 degrees Celsius). If not, the resulting damage could lead to an abrupt engine shutdown and aborted flight.
Mission managers accepted the additional risk posed by the engine issue as well as a separate problem: cracks in the rocket's insulating foam. But they acknowledged other problems — like fuel leaks — could prompt yet another delay.
That didn't stop thousands from jamming the coast to see the Space Launch System rocket soar. Local authorities expected massive crowds because of the long Labor Day holiday weekend.
The $4.1 billion test flight is the first step in NASA's Artemis program of renewed lunar exploration, named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology.
Twelve astronauts walked on the moon during NASA’s Apollo program, the last time in 1972.
Artemis — years behind schedule and billions over budget — aims to establish a sustained human presence on the moon, with crews eventually spending weeks at a time there. It's considered a training ground for Mars.

An Associated Press analysis found many U.S. states barely use "red flag" laws that allow police to take guns away from people threatening to kill, a trend blamed on lack of awareness of the laws and a reluctance to enforce them even as gun deaths soar.
The AP found the 19 states and the District of Columbia that have such laws used them 15,049 times since 2020, fewer than 10 per 100,000 adult residents. Experts called that woefully low and not nearly enough to make a dent in gun violence, considering the millions of firearms in circulation across the country.
Chicago is one of the nation's gun violence hotspots and a seemingly ideal place to employ Illinois' "red flag" law that allows police to step in and take firearms away from people who threaten to kill. But amid more than 8,500 shootings resulting in 1,800 deaths since 2020, the law was used there just four times.
It's a pattern that's played out in New Mexico, with nearly 600 gun homicides during that period and a mere eight uses of its red flag law. And in Massachusetts, with nearly 300 shooting homicides and just 12 uses of its law.
An Associated Press analysis found many U.S. states barely use the red flag laws touted as the most powerful tool to stop gun violence before it happens, a trend blamed on a lack of awareness of the laws and resistance by some authorities to enforce them even as shootings and gun deaths soar.
AP found such laws in 19 states and the District of Columbia were used to remove firearms from people 15,049 times since 2020, fewer than 10 per 100,000 adult residents. Experts called that woefully low and not nearly enough to make a dent in gun violence, considering the millions of firearms in circulation and countless potential warning signs law enforcement officers encounter from gun owners every day.
"It's too small a pebble to make a ripple," Duke University sociologist Jeffrey Swanson, who has studied red flag gun surrender orders across the nation, said of the AP tally. "It's as if the law doesn't exist."
"The number of people we are catching with red flags is likely infinitesimal," added Indiana University law professor Jody Madeira, who like other experts who reviewed AP's findings wouldn't speculate how many red flag removal orders would be necessary to make a difference.
The search for solutions comes amid a string of mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, Uvalde, Texas, and Highland Park, Illinois, and a spike in gun violence not seen in decades: 27,000 deaths so far this year, following 45,000 deaths each of the past two years.
AP's count, compiled from inquiries and Freedom of Information Law requests, showed wide disparities in how the laws were applied from state to state, county to county, most without regard to population or crime rates.
Florida led with 5,800 such orders, or 34 per 100,000 adult residents, but that is due mostly to aggressive enforcement in a few counties that don't include Miami-Dade and others with more gun killings. More than a quarter of Illinois' slim 154 orders came from one suburban county that makes up just 7% of the state's population. California had 3,197 orders but was working through a backlog of three times that number of people barred from owning guns under a variety of measures who had not yet surrendered them.
And a national movement among politicians and sheriffs that has declared nearly 2,000 counties as "Second Amendment Sanctuaries," opposing laws that infringe on gun rights, may have affected red flag enforcement in several states. In Colorado, 37 counties that consider themselves "sanctuaries" issued just 45 surrender orders in the two years through last year, a fifth fewer than non-sanctuary counties did per resident. New Mexico and Nevada reported only about 20 orders combined.
"The law shouldn't even be there in the first place," argued Richard Mack, a former Arizona sheriff who heads the pro-gun Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. "You're taking away someone's property and means of self-defense."
Red flag laws, most of which came into effect over the last four years, allow police officers who believe gun owners are an imminent danger to themselves or others to petition a judge to order firearms surrendered or, barring that, seized for an "emergency" period, typically two weeks. The judge can then convene a court hearing in which petitioners present evidence to withhold weapons longer, typically a year, and the owner can argue against that.
AP's tally counts an emergency order that is followed by a longer one as a single order if they involve the same gun owner. In rare cases where no one asked for an emergency order and only a longer one was requested and granted, that also counts as a single order. Several states reported incomplete data.
Some states also allow family members of gun owners, school officials, work colleagues or doctors to ask for gun removal orders, also known as extreme risk protection orders. But data reviewed by the AP show nearly all petitions in several states were initiated by police, possibly because, as several surveys have shown, few people outside law enforcement are even aware the laws exist.
The recent spike in shootings has brought renewed attention to red flag laws, with states including Alaska, Pennsylvania and Kentucky introducing legislation to add them. The Biden administration is seeking to foster wider use of red flag laws by allocating money in a newly passed federal gun law to help spread the word about such measures.
An AP-NORC poll in late July found 78% of U.S. adults strongly or somewhat favor red flag laws, but the backlash against them has been intense in some states, particularly in rural areas. Opponents argue that allowing judges to rule on gun seizures in initial emergency petitions before full hearings violates due process rights, though court cases claiming this have generally found the laws constitutional.
Many police believe seizing guns can also be dangerous and unnecessary, even as a last resort, especially in sparsely populated areas where they know many of the residents with mental health issues, said Tony Mace, head of the New Mexico Sheriffs' Association, which lobbied against the state's law.
"You're showing up with 10 to 15 law enforcement officers and coming in the middle of the night and kicking in the door, and it's already a dangerous environment," said Mace, sheriff of Cibola County, a sanctuary county with just one order since 2020. "You're dealing with someone in crisis and elevating it even more."
One fierce gun rights defender who still aggressively uses the law is Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd, who says he doesn't let his beliefs stand in the way of moving fast when gun owners threaten violence.
"We're not going to wait for an Uvalde, Texas, or a Parkland or a Columbine if we have the information and people say that they're going to shoot or kill," said Judd, who enforced 752 orders since 2020 in a county of 725,000 residents, a tally that's more than the total orders for 15 entire states. "We're going to use the tools that the state gave us."
Florida's traditionally pro-gun Republican-led legislature passed its red flag law in 2018 following revelations police failed to act on repeated threats by an expelled student who would go on to carry out the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland earlier that year that left 17 people dead.
A recent high-profile example of a red flag law not being used was for the 21-year-old gunman accused of fatally shooting seven people and injuring dozens more at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. Robert E. Crimo III drew police attention three years earlier when he threatened to "kill everyone" in his house and officers acknowledged going to the home several times previously because of a "history of attempts" to take his own life.
But Highland Park police never requested a gun surrender order, saying there was no gun belonging to Crimo to take away at the time, even though the law has a provision to block threatening people from making future purchases, too.
Illinois state Rep. Denyse Stoneback said there has clearly been a problem with awareness of the law among those tasked with carrying it out. "We'd go to police departments and they didn't know anything about it," said the Democrat who helped push through a bill last year providing $1 million in police red flag law training.
Asked why Chicago had so few red flag firearm restraining orders, police spokesman Thomas Ahern said many of the city's gun killings are committed with illegally owned firearms.
But Ahern emphasized it remained a priority of the department to increase its awareness and use of the red flag law. "If we are able to prevent one citizen from getting hurt or killed that's a law worth having and definitely not a low priority," he said.
In New York, a red flag-type situation that wasn't covered under the state's law nonetheless led to a spike in red flag gun surrender orders.
Payton Gendron was a 17-year-old high school senior last year when he was investigated by New York's State Police and ordered hospitalized for a mental health evaluation for typing into an economics class online program that his future plans included "murder-suicide." But since he was a minor, he wasn't covered under the state's red flag law and it didn't prevent him from later buying the high-powered rifle authorities say he used to kill 10 Black people in a racially-motivated shooting at Buffalo supermarket in May.
Since then, New York has seen 779 gun surrender orders under its red flag law, equal to nearly half of all its orders since the measure took effect three years ago.
Several experts said it's impossible to come up with an ideal number of red flag orders and misleading to compare states by orders because of the widely varying rates of gun ownership and gun homicides and suicides, among other stats.
Another complicating factor is that some states have stricter gun ownerships rules and multiple ways to seize firearms. In California, for instance, guns can be taken away through domestic violence restraining orders, civil harassment protection orders and school violence prevention orders in addition to the red flag law.
Still, experts consulted by AP agreed more could be done to enforce red flag laws given the prevalence of guns and the millions of gun owners that national studies suggest could be dangerous to themselves and others. In red flag states alone, figures compiled by the Gun Violence Archive show at least 21,100 homicides and 47,000 injuries during the 2½ years covered by AP's count.
Several studies suggest red flag laws can be particularly effective in preventing gun suicides, which kill about 20,000 people a year. A Duke University study of Connecticut's-first-in-the-nation red flag law in 1999 estimated that for every 10 to 20 surrender orders a life from a potential suicide was saved. A study of Indiana's law came up with a similar ratio.
While the impact of red flag laws on homicides is less well researched, studies suggest many mass shootings could be avoided if the laws were implemented aggressively. A study by the gun-control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety showed perpetrators exhibited dangerous warning signs before more than half of the mass shootings in the dozen years through 2020 that accounted for 596 deaths.
Such warning signs have led to many opportunities to stop gun violence, as well as missed chances.
In Colorado in 2020, police seized 59 guns from a man who complained of hit men coming to get him, bragged about shooting someone and repeatedly threatened his ex-wife.
In New Jersey in 2019, police took seven guns from a man threatening on Facebook to attack a Walmart.
And in Washington state in 2018, police removed 12 guns from the home of a man who posted on social media about killing Jews in a synagogue and kids in a school.
None of those threatened shootings happened.
But in Indianapolis in 2020, failure to employ all aspects of a red flag law resulted in disaster. After 18-year-old Brandon Hole's mother alerted police that he was threatening to commit "suicide by cop," police seized his pump-action shotgun. A county prosecutor could have gone further under the law to argue before a judge that Hole should be barred from possessing or buying a gun, but that never happened.
A few months later, Hole bought two AR-style rifles at a gun store, turning to his mother and saying, "They don't have a flag on me." Several months after that, he fatally shot eight employees in a FedEx warehouse where he had worked and injured seven more before killing himself.
"I feel the state of Indiana is an accessory to murder," a wounded Angela Hughley told the Indianapolis Star shortly after the shooting.
Amber Clark, a librarian in Sacramento, California, might still be alive today if police had acted on a tip that Ronald Seay was armed and dangerous.
The gunman's twin brother called police in 2018 warning that Seay, who had a history of mental illness and trouble with police, was making violent threats and had two semiautomatic pistols. But the police never went to a judge to ask for a gun surrender order or tell the sibling that he could do that himself.
A few weeks later, Seay unloaded 11 bullets into Clark's face, head and body at pointblank range outside the Sacramento library.
"It is obvious to me and my family that the application of California's red flag law in this case would have saved two lives – Amber's and the shooter's – and prevented immeasurable grief," said her husband, Kelly Clark. "My wife would still be alive and the killer would have received the help he needed instead of being condemned to life in prison."

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, it can be difficult to know where to look for help.
The network of services that exists — emergency rooms, psychiatric institutions, jails, courtrooms and law enforcement — don’t always coordinate with one another or provide the needed care for the situation at hand. And the system has become even more strained since the pandemic began.
Over the past month, The Seattle Times Mental Health Project has explored different facets of Washington’s mental health crisis response system — how it works or doesn’t — and examined solutions people are bringing to improve it.
If you’re looking for information and guidance on crisis response in Washington, including how to help, The Seattle Times Mental Health Project will be holding a live discussion with experts who work within the system. Join us for an hourlong conversation over Zoom at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7. To register for the free online event, please visit st.news/mentalhealthevent.
You can read the entire series at st.news/crisisresponse. For more information about the event, or if you have questions you would like to see addressed by the speakers, email mentalhealth@seattletimes.com or visit st.news/crisisquestions.

Deadlines dictated I write this column before viewing last night’s latest JRR Tolkein romp, The Rings of Power, on TV. But I’m expecting to have enjoyed it.
One reason I like Tolkein is that he was a philologist who invented languages. Indeed, he has said he structured languages before creating characters to speak them. He designed Numenorean for men, Sindarin and Quenya for Elves, Khuzdul for Dwarves, and Black Speech for Orcs. Clever stuff.
But his characters also spoke “the common tongue” (he named it Westron) so they could understand each other. Every book needs dialogue, after all.
The concept of Westron appeals to me. It is how I view English.
I am often accused of prescriptivism, the belief that one type of language is superior to others. There are many who will wisely assure you this is foolish. No variety is better or worse than any other.
And they assure me that languages change rapidly. Always have, always will. How can one variety be judged better than another?
These people look down on me because they seem to think I somehow didn’t know this. They see me as backward-looking, unsophisticated.
In truth, I don’t believe in prescriptivism. And I fully accept language is ever-changing. The evidence is rather apparent.
But I point out that English is changing at a more rapid pace than at any point in history, thanks to the great digital everywhere.
No Canute can hold back this tide. A Californian kid coins a word, next day it is heard on the streets of Canberra, Clacton, and Carnoustie. Another modification is made to standard English, another step towards English becoming several different languages. I already sometimes don’t understand people interviewed on TV.
Despite the neologisms, word shortenings, slang, phonetic spellings, and emojis avalanching into our vocabularies we shouldn’t lose sight of the common tongue.
Good written English should be celebrated, taught properly, and valued to a greater degree than it is now. I often despair that so few seem to care about this.
There can be still be varieties, newspeak, dialects, pidgins, creoles, local accents, anything. But a properly spelled and punctuated language, with consistent rules, is a great thing, an essential thing. We should be unwilling to let go of old meanings for words, idioms, metaphors, and similes.
That’s all I’m asking. It’s all I ever ask for in this column: that the importance of good, plain English (our Westron) is appreciated.
We need a core English everyone can use and understand. Because if some demigod happens along and forges a ring of power, Hobbits like me will have to communicate to organise the resistance.

TURKEYS
When a case comes along as heinous as the September 2014 ambush of Pennsylvania state troopers in the Poconos, prosecutors justifiably seek the maximum punishment for the perpetrator. They got it for Eric Frein, the gunman in that ambush that killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson II and wounded Trooper Alex Douglass. Frein now sits on death row, but it seems as if the Pike County District Attorney’s Office wants more in the name of justice despite the fact that Frein acted alone. The office has been involved in a lengthy court battle to keep a cache of guns seized from Frein’s parents. The parents, who were not charged in their son’s crime, have been trying to get the guns back – 25 rifles, 19 pistols and two shotguns, none of which were used in the ambush. The office has fought against their return, citing that they might be needed as evidence during Frein’s state and federal appeals. That’s nonsense, and a federal court of appeals appropriately ruled last week that the guns need to be returned to the parents. “It’s really the government being vindictive,” the Freins’ attorney told The Associated Press, adding they were “punished for being the parents of Eric Frein.” We agree. This appears to be the action of an overzealous prosecution that is bent on punishing the parents because it provides an added degree of satisfaction. Here’s the thing: Satisfaction is likely unachievable for the victims in a case like this. The achievable outcome is justice, and it’s been served with the harshest penalty allowed by law. It’s past time for the Pike County District Attorney’s Office to move away from seeking vengeance and focus its attention on providing support for the survivors of this atrocity.
TROPHIES
The debate against the proliferation of warehouses in the Lehigh Valley has largely focused on issues like the environment, traffic, infrastructure and economic impact. Seemingly lost in the debate is an equally, perhaps more, important topic: worker safety. The region now has thousands of people performing jobs inside these massive facilities on a daily basis, and the conditions vary. Some companies do an admirable job looking out for their employees. Others don’t. It’s critical that a third-party is involved to ensure there’s consistency, which is why we applaud the new Regional Emphasis Program for Warehousing Operation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Pennsylvania is among the states targeted in the program. This fall, OSHA will begin enforcement, incorporating on-site inspections to identify safety and health hazards, including those typically found in the warehousing industry. This is a worthwhile initiative, and OSHA’s decision to include Pennsylvania makes a lot of sense given how much warehousing has grown in the Lehigh Valley and other parts of the state in recent years.

GOP escalates fight against citizen-led ballot initiatives
By DAVID A. LIEB
Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people signed petitions this year backing proposed ballot initiatives to expand voting access, ensure abortion rights and legalize recreational marijuana in Arizona, Arkansas and Michigan.
Yet voters might not get a say because Republican officials or judges have blocked the proposals from the November elections, citing flawed wording, procedural shortcomings or insufficient petition signatures.
At the same time, Republican lawmakers in Arkansas and Arizona have placed constitutional amendments on the ballot proposing to make it harder to approve citizen initiatives in the future.
The Republican pushback against the initiative process is part of a several-year trend that gained steam as Democratic-aligned groups have increasingly used petitions to force public votes on issues that Republican-led legislatures have opposed. In reliably Republican Missouri, for example, voters have approved initiatives to expand Medicaid, raise the minimum wage and legalize medical marijuana. An initiative seeking to allow recreational pot is facing a court challenge from an anti-drug activist aiming to knock it off the November ballot.
Some Democrats contend Republicans are subverting the will of the people by making the ballot initiative process more difficult.
“What is happening now is just a web of technicalities to thwart the process in states where voters are using the people’s tool to make an immediate positive change in their lives,” said Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, which has worked with progressive groups sponsoring the blocked initiatives.
“That is not the way our democracy should work,” she added
Republicans who have thrown up hurdles to initiative petitions contend they are protecting the integrity of the lawmaking process against well-funded interest groups trying to bend state policies in their favor.
“I think the Legislature is a much purer way to get things done and it represents the people much better, rather than having this jungle where you just throw it on the ballot,” said South Dakota state Rep. Tim Goodwin, who has perennially targeted the initiative process with restrictions.
About half the states allow citizen initiatives, in which petition signers can bypass a legislature to place proposed laws or constitutional changes directly before voters. But executive or judicial officials often still have some role in the process, typically by certifying that the ballot wording is clear and accurate and that petition circulators gathered enough valid signatures of registered voters.
In Michigan this past week, two Republican members of the bipartisan Board of State Canvassers blocked initiatives to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution and expand opportunities for voting. Each measure had significantly more than the required 425,000 signatures. But GOP board members said the voting measure had unclear wording and the abortion measure was flawed because of spacing problems that scrunched some words together.
Supporters have appealed both decisions to the Michigan Supreme Court, which consists of a majority of Democratic-appointed judges.
The Arkansas Supreme Court, whose justices run in nonpartisan elections, is weighing an appeal of an August decision blocking an initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana for adults.
The State Board of Election Commissioners, which has just one Democrat among its many Republicans, determined that the ballot title was misleading because it failed to mention it would repeal potency limits in an existing medical marijuana provision. Because the deadline has passed to certify initiative titles, the Supreme Court has allowed the measure on the general election ballot while it decides whether the votes will be counted.
A lawsuit by initiative supporters contends a 2019 law passed by the Republican-led Legislature violates the Arkansas Constitution by allowing the board to reject ballot titles.
“The (initiative) process in Arkansas has gotten consistently harder each cycle, as the Legislature adds more and more requirements,” said Steve Lancaster, a lawyer for Responsible Growth Arkansas, which is sponsoring the marijuana amendment.
It would get even harder if voters support a legislatively referred amendment on the November ballot that would require a 60% vote to approve citizen-initiated ballot measures or future constitutional amendments.
In Arizona, the primarily Republican-appointed Supreme Court recently blocked a proposed constitutional amendment that would have extended early voting and limited lobbyist gifts to lawmakers. The measure also would have specifically prohibited the Legislature from overturning the results of presidential elections, which some Republicans had explored after then- President Donald Trump’s loss in 2020.
After a lower court initially ruled the measure could appear on the November ballot, Arizona’s high court instructed the judge to reconsider. Then it upheld a subsequent ruling throwing out enough petition signatures to prevent the initiative from qualifying for the ballot.
Still on the ballot are several other amendments referred by Arizona’s Republican-led Legislature. Those measures would limit initiatives to a single subject, require a 60% supermajority to approve tax proposals and expand the Legislature’s authority to change voter-approved initiatives.
Those proposals come after Arizona Republicans have spent the past decade enacting laws making it more difficult to get citizen initiatives on the ballot. State laws now require petition sheets to be precisely printed and ban the use of a copy machine to create new ones. Other laws require paid circulators to include their registration number on each petition sheet, get it notarized and check a box saying they were paid.
“The effect is to make it much harder, much more expensive to get the signatures to put one of these propositions on the ballot,” said Terry Goddard, a Democrat who served as the state’s attorney general from 2003 through 2011.
After years of trying, Goddard finally succeeded this year in getting an initiative on the ballot that would require nonprofit groups that spend large amounts on elections to reveal their donors.
Earlier this summer, South Dakota voters defeated a measure that would have made it harder to pass initiatives on taxes and spending. The proposal from the Republican-led Legislature would have required a 60% vote to raise taxes or spend over a certain amount of money. Voters rejected the measure by 67%.
“This just seems like a way to suppress voters. honestly,” Joshua Matzner, a Democrat, said after voting against it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Leave it to Serena Williams to not want to go quietly, to not want this match, this trip to the U.S. Open, this transcendent career of hers, to really, truly end.
Right down to what were, barring a change of heart, the final minutes of her quarter-century of excellence on the tennis court, and an unbending unwillingness to be told what wasn’t possible, Williams tried to mount one last classic comeback, earn one last vintage victory, with fans on their feet in a full Arthur Ashe Stadium, cellphone cameras at the ready.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion staved off five match points to prolong the three-hours-plus proceedings, but could not do more, and was eliminated from the U.S. Open in the third round by Ajla Tomljanovic 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-1 on Friday night in what is expected to be her final contest.
“I’ve been down before. … I don’t really give up,” Williams said. “In my career, I’ve never given up. In matches, I don’t give up. Definitely wasn’t giving up tonight.”
She turns 41 this month and recently told the world that she is ready to start “evolving” away from her playing days — she expressed distaste for the word “retirement” — and while she remained purposely vague about whether this appearance at Flushing Meadows definitely would represent her last hurrah, everyone assumed it will be.
“It’s been the most incredible ride and journey I’ve ever been on in my life,” Williams said, tears streaming down her cheeks shortly after one final shot landed in the net. “I’m so grateful to every single person that’s ever said, ‘Go, Serena!’ in their life.”
Asked during an on-court interview whether she might reconsider walking away, Williams replied: “I don’t think so, but you never know.”
A little later, pressed on the same topic at her post-match news conference, Williams joked, “I always did love Australia,” the country that hosts the next Grand Slam tournament in January.
With two victories in singles this week, including over the No. 2 player in the world, Anett Kontaveit, on Wednesday, Williams took her fans on a thrill-a-minute throwback trip at the hard-court tournament that was the site of a half-dozen of her championships.
The first came in 1999 in New York, when Williams was a teen. Now she’s married and a mother; her daughter, Olympia, turned 5 on Thursday.
“Clearly, I’m still capable. … (But) I’m ready to be a mom, explore a different version of Serena,” she said. “Technically, in the world, I’m still super young, so I want to have a little bit of a life while I’m still walking.”
With 23,859 of her closest friends cheering raucously again Friday, Williams faltered against Tomljanovic, a 29-year-old Australian who is ranked 46th.
Williams gave away leads in each set, including the last, in which she was up 1-0 before dropping the final six games.
Tomljanovic is unabashedly a fan of Williams, having growing up watching her play on TV.
“I’m feeling really sorry, just because I love Serena just as much as you guys do. And what she’s done for me, for the sport of tennis, is incredible,” said Tomljanovic, who has never been past the quarterfinals at any major. “This is a surreal moment for me.”
Then, drawing laughs, Tomljanovic added: “I just thought she would beat me. … She’s Serena. That’s that’s just who she is: She’s the greatest of all time. Period.”
Asked what she planned to do on the first day of the rest of her life Saturday, Williams said she’d rest, spend time with Olympia and then added: “I’m definitely probably going to be karaoke-ing.”
Her performance with her racket Friday showed grit and featured some terrific serving, but it was not perfect.
On one point in the second set, Williams’ feet got tangled and she fell to the court, dropping her racket. She finished with 51 unforced errors, 21 more than Tomljanovic.
Williams let a 5-3 lead vanish in the first set. She did something similar in the second, giving away edges of 4-0 and 5-2, and requiring five set points to finally put that one in her pocket. From 4-all in the tiebreaker, meaning Williams was three points from defeat, she pounded a 117 mph ace, hit a forehand winner to cap a 20-stroke exchange, then watched Tomljanovic push a forehand long.
Momentum appeared to be on Williams’ side. But she could not pull off the sort of never-admit-defeat triumph she did so often over the years.
“Oh, my God, thank you so much. You guys were amazing today. I tried,” Williams told the audience, hands on her hips, before mentioning, among others, her parents and her older sister, Venus, a seven-time major champion who is 42.
“I wouldn’t be Serena if there wasn’t Venus. So thank you, Venus,” Williams said. “She’s the only reason that Serena Williams ever existed.”
They started in tennis as kids in Compton, California, coached by their father, Richard, who taught himself about the sport after watching on television while a player received a winner’s check. He was the central figure in the Oscar-winning film “King Richard,” produced by his daughters.
The siblings lost together in the first round of doubles on Thursday night, drawing another sellout. And on Friday, as during the younger Williams’ other outings this week, there could be no doubt about which player the paying public favored.
When Tomljanovic broke to go up 6-5 as part of a four-game run to take the opening set, one person in her guest box rose to applaud — and he was pretty much on his own.
Otherwise, folks applauded when Tomljanovic double-faulted, generally considered a faux pas for tennis crowds.
They got loud in the middle of lengthy exchanges, also frowned upon.
They offered sympathetic sounds of “Awwwwww” when Williams flubbed a shot, and leapt out of their seats when she did something they found extraordinary. A rather routine service break was cause for a standing ovation.
Tomljanovic draped a blue-and-white U.S. Open towel over her head at changeovers, shielding herself from the noise and distractions.
“Just really blocked it out as much as I could. It did get to me a few times, internally. I mean, I didn’t take it personally because, I mean, I would be cheering for Serena, too, if I wasn’t playing her,” Tomljanovic said. “But it was definitely not easy.”
After Williams struck a swinging backhand volley winner to take a 4-0 lead in the second set, her play improving with every passing moment, the reaction was earsplitting. Billie Jean King, a Hall of Famer with 39 total Grand Slam titles across singles, doubles and mixed doubles, raised her cellphone to capture the scene.
“You’re everywhere!” yelled Williams’ husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, from a courtside guest box that also contained power couple Ciara and Russell Wilson.
When Williams drove two consecutive forehand winners to lead 5-2 in the second set, she screamed and leaned forward after each.
She could not sustain that level.
Williams entered the night having won 19 times in a row in the U.S. Open’s third round of singles competition, including reaching at least the semifinals in her most recent 11 appearances in New York.
Talk about a full-circle moment: The only other third-round loss she’s ever had at Flushing Meadows (she is 42-0 in the first and second rounds) came in 1998, the year Williams made her tournament debut at age 16.
She would win her first major trophy 12 months later at the U.S. Open. And now she said goodbye in that same stadium.
“It’s been a long time. I’ve been playing tennis my whole life,” Williams said Friday night, after performing one last twirl-and-wave move usually reserved for victories. “It is a little soon, but I’m also happy because, I mean, this is what I wanted, what I want.”

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — One girl runs and hides when she sees thin people with long hair similar to the gunman who stormed into her Uvalde, Texas, school and killed 21 people. One boy stopped making friends and playing with animals. A third child feels her heart race when she's reminded of the May 24 massacre that killed a close friend — once at such a dangerous pace that she had to be rushed to a hospital, where she stayed for weeks.
The 11-year-old girl has been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The Associated Press spoke with her and her family on condition her name not be used to protect her identity.
“I never lost someone before,” she said, adding that her friend who was among the 19 students and two teachers killed in the United States’ deadliest school massacre in a decade would encourage her through hard times. “She was a very strong person.”
As students get ready to return to Robb Elementary on Tuesday for the first time since the massacre, PTSD symptoms are starting to show. Parents are finding themselves unable to help, and experts worry because communities of color such as the largely Hispanic city of Uvalde face disparities in access mental health care. For low-income families, it can be even harder, as access to limited resources requires long waits for referrals through medical assistance programs such as Medicaid.
“It’s hard hearing what these kids are going through at such a young age,” said Yuri Castro, a mother of two boys in Uvalde, whose cousin was killed in the shooting and whose sons were once taught by the two slain teachers. Castro knows of children so traumatized they have stopped speaking.
School shootings dramatically upend survivors' lives. For some, symptoms linger for years and high-quality treatment can be difficult to find.
In recent years, Texas lawmakers have focused on spending money on mental health services, devoting more than $2.5 billion during the current fiscal year.
But according to the 11-year-old girl’s family — lifelong residents of Uvalde — the only mental health center in the area — just blocks from Robb Elementary — was seldom used or discussed, raising worries about the lack of awareness regarding signs and symptoms of mental illness and the stigma surrounding seeking help.
The mother of the 11-year-old girl whose racing heart led to her hospitalization says open conversations about mental health were previously taboo in the heavily Latino community, where culturally, mental health is brushed off as feeling lazy, bored or throwing a tantrum.
“I remember growing up it was like, ‘Go over there, you are just being chiflada,’” the mother said, using a Spanish word that means “acting spoiled.”
Now, she said, the town is waking up to the reality of mental health even as some people still ask why survivors like her daughter need help.
Members of the community have been supporting one another by checking in with extended family and friends and taking advantage of community resources that have been set up, including counseling by the Red Cross and emotional support from the churches. The parents of one of the children who was killed started an organization that will be putting together wilderness retreats for victims’ families and survivors. Residents also have social media groups where they can share mental health resources and express their grief.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission contracted with organizations to create a mental health hotline that in six weeks responded to nearly 400 calls.
Martha Rodriguez, who coordinated efforts to help students recover after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, said officials need to visit the community to make sure the right resources are available. She said addressing stigmas and sending providers who understand the families’ language and values are key.
“Some families may not feel comfortable sharing distress and needs,” she said.
Many families impacted by the shooting are Roman Catholic. The mother of a girl who survived the attack said her daughter has only been able to open up to a priest in Houston — 280 miles (450 kilometers) away — whom the family goes to see when they visit relatives.
“This is going to be a long journey. This is not going to be something that we can just do some work and fix it,” said San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller.
Julie Kaplow, director of the trauma and grief centers at the Texas Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital New Orleans, said many students who survived the May 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting that killed 10 in suburban Houston did not exhibit symptoms for six months.
“I am anticipating that we will see some similarities," said Kaplow, who has been training clinicians and others who are treating families in Uvalde. “Part of the reason is those symptoms haven’t manifested yet and will start to manifest when they are reminded of the event itself. Or the caregiver starts to recognize, ‘Wait a minute my child is still not eating, is still not sleeping.’”
The length of treatment varies depending on the severity of symptoms. For some, it can last up to two to three years.
Melissa Brymer, director of terrorism and disaster programs at the UCLA-Duke National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, was the lead adviser to public schools in Newtown, Connecticut, after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012. She said officials need to make sure that families can get services at school. They also need to create spaces that feel friendlier, such as community meals, rather than clinics.
Parents of the incoming fifth-grader who is struggling with symptoms chose to home-school her this year so she can continue going to appointments more easily. She is also getting a service dog who will alert her if her heart rate rises.
But she worries about her brothers returning to the classroom and gets anxious thinking others will judge her because of how she has been affected by the massacre when she wasn't shot, her mother said. She is awakened daily by night terrors.
“We don't sleep. ... We don't even know what that is anymore since this has happened,” the mother said. “I am going to have to deal with that for however long it takes for her to heal.”

Kristina Rihanoff flashes her legs in a cream miniskirt before cosying up to daughter Milena, six, and lookalike mum Larisa during Turkey getaway
Kristina Rihanoff looked incredible in snaps shared to Instagram on Friday from her sun-soaked Turkey getaway.
The former Strictly pro, 44, put on a leggy display in a cream floral miniskirt and white vest top while posing at the five-star Club Letonya Fethiye Oludeniz hotel.
'It's a white party tonight!' she wrote in her caption, before cosying up to her daughter Milena, six, who she shares with her partner Ben Cohen.
Out of this world: Kristina Rihanoff looked incredible in snaps shared to Instagram on Friday from her sun-soaked Turkey getaway
The Russian star and her little one were then joined by her lookalike mum Larisa, who looked chic in a classic black top and a matching cardigan.
In her caption, she wrote: 'Just us girls at the beautiful @letoonialife in Turkey. Last few days of holidays … ❤️
'#lovemyfamily #family #myfamily #likemitherlikedaughter #familytime #familyholiday #turkey #holidays.'
Gorgeous: She accentuated her natural beauty with a full face of flawlessly applied make-up
Cute: 'It's a white party tonight!' she wrote in her caption, before cosying up to her daughter Milena, six, who she shares with her partner Ben Cohen
Kristina's outing comes after Claudia Winkleman issued a grovelling apology to the dancer after falsely claiming her relationship with Ben began while they were on the show.
The Strictly co-host, 50, enraged Kristina by publicly claiming that she and England rugby star Ben, 43, became romantically involved while they were partnered on the show in 2013.
It was revealed in Richard Eden's Eden Confidential column that Claudia had apologised after saying 'The couple I knew had got together were Ben and Kristina' while filming The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan on Channel 4 at Television Centre last month.

Having a blast! In her caption, she wrote: 'Just us girls at the beautiful @letoonialife in Turkey. Last few days of holidays … ❤️'
Kristina, who was born in Vladivostok, Russia, and Ben have always insisted that their affair did not begin until the year after he took part in Strictly.
The World Cup winner had been married to his wife Abby for 11 years. The couple, who have twin teenage girls, divorced in 2016. Rihanoff and Cohen have since had a daughter together.
After Kristina learned of what she described as Claudia's 'lies' on the Channel 4 show, she threatened to take legal action and contacted the 50-year-old presenter.
Oh dear: It comes after Claudia Winkleman issued a grovelling apology to Kristina after falsely claiming her relationship with Ben began while they were on the show
As a result, Claudia made a grovelling apology to her and Ben, telling them: '[I] am so, so sorry.' In a message seen by the column, she explained: 'I thought the question was about who has found long-time love [via Strictly].
'I said, 'Ben and Kristina', excitedly, and then I said Stacey and Kevin [referring to TV presenter Stacey Dooley and former Strictly pro Kevin Clifton, who have been dating since 2019, after being paired together on the show in 2018].'
She continued: 'So sorry, I'm a moron. It was a two-second moment.'
A Channel 4 spokesman failed to respond to requests for comment.

MOSCOW (AP) — Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev is set to be buried Saturday in a ceremony falling short of a state funeral that will not be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin or top international leaders.
The relatively low-key funeral reflects the Kremlin’s uneasiness about the legacy of Gorbachev, who has been revered in the West for ending the Cold War but despised by many at home for the collapse of the Soviet Union and the ensuing economic meltdown that plunged millions into poverty.
Putin privately laid flowers at Gorbachev’s coffin on Thursday because of what the Kremlin described as the president’s busy schedule that would prevent him from attending the funeral.
Asked what specific business will keep Putin busy, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a conference call with reporters that the president will have a series of working meetings, an international phone call and must also prepare for attending a business forum in Russia’s Far East next week.
Gorbachev, who died Tuesday at the age of 91, will be buried at Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery next to his wife, Raisa, following a farewell ceremony at the Pillar Hall of the House of the Unions, an iconic mansion near the Kremlin that has served as the venue for state funerals since Soviet times.
Despite the choice of the prestigious venue, the Kremlin stopped short of calling it a state funeral, with Peskov saying the ceremony will have “elements” of one, such as honorary guards, and the government’s assistance in organizing it. He wouldn’t describe how it will differ from a full-fledged state funeral.
If the Kremlin had declared a state funeral for Gorbachev, it would have made it awkward for Putin to ignore the event. It would also have obliged the Kremlin to send invitations to foreign leaders, something that it was apparently reluctant to do amid soaring tensions with the West after sending troops into Ukraine.
Putin, who once bemoaned the collapse of the Soviet Union as the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” has avoided explicit personal criticism of Gorbachev but has repeatedly blamed him for failing to secure written commitments from the West that would rule out NATO’s expansion eastward. The issue has marred Russia-West relations for decades and fomented tensions that exploded when the Russian leader sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.
In a carefully-phrased letter of condolence released Wednesday avoiding explicit praise or criticism, Putin described Gorbachev as a man who left “an enormous impact on the course of world history.”
“He led the country during difficult and dramatic changes, amid large-scale foreign policy, economic and society challenges,” Putin said. “He deeply realized that reforms were necessary and tried to offer his solutions for the acute problems.”
The Kremlin’s ambivalence about Gorbachev was mirrored in state television broadcasts, which paid tribute to Gorbachev as a historic figure but described his reforms as poorly planned and held him responsible for failing to properly defend the country’s interests.
The Russian public has remained similarly divided over Gorbachev’s legacy, with some praising him for ending the Cold War and shedding seven decades of totalitarian rule and others accusing him of betrayal.
