Fatal shooting: Residents woken by gunshots and screaming
People who live close to the scene of a shooting which left one man dead said they were woken up by multiple gunshots and a scream.
The man, believed to be in his 20s, died after he was shot in west London in the early hours of Sunday, sparking a murder investigation.
Police were called to Kensington High Street at 2.02am, following reports of gunfire.

Officers found a man with gunshot wounds and provided emergency first aid until the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance arrived.
He was taken to a central London hospital where he died at 5.32am.
One man, in his 30s, who did not want to be named, said that nothing like this has happened in the three years he has lived in the area.
He told the PA news agency: “It sounded like fireworks, it was two or three (gunshots) and then it stopped and it was like five or something.
“We thought it was from a car or fireworks, we didn’t think it was a shooting. It’s never happened round here.”
A man in his 40s, from a nearby building, who also did not want to be named, told PA: “I woke up with the gunshots, five, six.
“When I came out in the morning, I saw the police close here.
“I think I heard a car – I remember I heard a car as well. I think I heard the scream as well, it was a tiny scream.
“This area, to be honest, I have even told them, the manager, security, sometimes I can see from the window, some people come here and smoke. (I said) you need to make it more lighter, camera, CCTV.”

A black car was seen being towed away from the scene on Sunday.
A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody.
The victim’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers. A post-mortem examination has yet to take place.
Homicide detectives from the Met’s specialist crime command are investigating.

Median Progression-Free Survival of 11.3 months in first-line gastric cancer patients treated with DKN-01 plus tislelizumab and CAPOX, exceeding benchmarks in the overall population and in DKK1 and PD-L1 subgroups
Median Overall Survival is not mature with only 44% of patients deceased as of the data cut
Enrollment ongoing in the study of DKN-01 plus Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) in second- or third-line oesophagogastric cancer patients, activity in DKK1-high patients consistent with prior studies with pembrolizumab or tislelizumab
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leap Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTX), a biotechnology company focused on developing targeted and immuno-oncology therapeutics, today announced the Company will be presenting data in first-line patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) from the DisTinGuish study, a Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating Leap's anti-Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) antibody, DKN-01, in combination with tislelizumab, BeiGene's anti-PD-1 antibody, and chemotherapy, at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022 being held on September 9-12. Safety and early efficacy data will be presented from the WAKING study, a multicenter Phase 2 non-randomized trial evaluating DKN-01 plus Tecentriq® (atezolizumab), Roche's anti-PD-L1 antibody, in patients with advanced oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma (OGA).
"Data from the DisTinGuish study continue to demonstrate promising results with the combination of DKN-01 plus tislelizumab and standard chemotherapy as a first-line treatment in patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas," said Samuel Klempner, MD, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. "The mature median progression-free survival of 11.3 months compares favorably with recent benchmarks in this patient group. The outcomes in the aggressive DKK1-high and the less checkpoint-inhibitor sensitive PD-L1-low (CPS < 5) subgroups are notable and encouraging. As the last patient enrolled in early April 2021, the overall survival results are also on track to show an increase over current standards. Gastroesophageal cancer patients and physicians want new biomarker-directed therapies to improve the standard of care in first-line treatment, and we are enthusiastic about the upcoming randomized clinical trial involving this encouraging DKN-01 combination."
"Early results from the WAKING study show the promise of boosting anti-tumor activity by targeting the Wnt signaling pathway and DKK1-driven tumor microenvironment modulation with a DKN-01 plus atezolizumab combination therapy strategy in patients with advanced OGA," said Fiona Turkes, MD, Clinical Research Fellow at The Royal Marsden Hospital. "We look forward to continuing to enroll patients and studying the biological mechanisms of this unique chemotherapy-free combination therapy, especially in those patients whose tumors express high levels of DKK1."
- DKN-01 and tislelizumab plus CAPOX was well tolerated in first-line treatment for advanced GEA patients, with a safety profile consistent with previous reports
- Overall median progression-free-survival (PFS) of 11.3 months exceeds benchmark results in unselected patients and in all four important biomarker-directed subgroups
- Median overall survival (OS) is not mature with only 44% of patients deceased as of the data cut (June 30, 2022), with a median duration on study of 15.7 months and last patient enrolled in early April 2021
- High and durable overall response rate (ORR) in unselected and aggressive subgroups (DKK1-high and PD-L1-low) (mITT): 68% (1 CR, 14 PR) overall
- 100% (6/6) ORR in DKK1-high, PD-L1-low patients
- 75% (3/4) ORR in DKK1-high, PD-L1-high patients
- DKN-01 up to 600mg every 2 weeks in combination with atezolizumab was considered safe
- At time of data cut off (August 16, 2022), 18 patients were enrolled in the study
- Elevated baseline DKK1 expression (TPS > 20%) may be associated with clinical response
- Translational analyses and assessment of PD-L1 status are ongoing
- Safety

The DisTinGuish study (NCT04363801) is a Phase 2a study of DKN-01 in combination with tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, with or without chemotherapy as first-line or second-line therapy in patients with inoperable, locally advanced, G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. The study is being conducted in two parts in the United States and the Republic of Korea. Enrollment of Part A has been completed with 25 first-line HER2- G/GEJ cancer patients whose tumors express either high levels of DKK1 (DKK1-high) or low levels of DKK1 (DKK1-low). Part B of the study has completed enrollment patients with second-line DKK1-high G/GEJ cancer. Part C of the study will be a randomized controlled trial of DKN-01 in combination with tislelizumab and chemotherapy compared to tislelizumab and chemotherapy. Leap is conducting this combination study as part of an exclusive option and license agreement with BeiGene.
The WAKING study (NCT04166721) is a Phase IIa/b nonrandomized, open-label, multicenter study to be conducted concurrently in 2 Parts. Approximately 52 patients aged 18 years or older with inoperable, histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma with measurable disease (RECIST v1.1) requiring therapy will be enrolled in the study. Both parts are designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the combination therapy of DKN-01 and atezolizumab in immunotherapy naïve, PD-L1 unselected G/GEJ adenocarcinoma patients. Treatment continues in repeating 14-day cycles until patient meets criteria for discontinuation or is no longer deriving clinical benefit. The WAKING study is being led by the Royal Marsden Hospital in the United Kingdom with financial support from Roche.

ST. LOUIS – Albert Pujols collected home run No. 695 in the eighth inning and Miles Mikolas tossed eight shutout innings to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
Pujols drilled the two-run pinch-hit shot off of reliever Brandon Hughes (2-2).
A future Hall of Famer, Pujols trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714) and Alex Rodriguez (696) on the all-time list.
Puols has seven pinch-hit homers in his career, and two this season. He has homered against 451 different pitcher, an all-time record.
St. Louis has won four in a row, 18 of their last 20 home games and is a season-best 24 games over .500 at 79-55. It was the Cardinals' eighth series sweep of the season.

Arlington County withheld nearly $1 million from a contractor that renovated a popular park in the East Falls Church area, the company has alleged.
The Brookeville, Md., landscaper alleged that Arlington committed four breaches of contract by severely underestimating the required quantities of soil, concrete and excavation and failing to account for traffic management needed to carry out the renovations.
“This is a demand for payment for extra work performed because of defective construction documents, including specifications and drawings provided by the county,” said Laurence Schor, an attorney representing the contractor. “The county had sole responsibility for the design and omitted or was wrong in what they provided to the contractor.”
Ryan Hudson, a spokesman for Arlington County, said in an email that he could not comment on any pending litigation.
McDonnell Landscaping had previously turned down an offer from Arlington to settle the matter for $272,000.
In accordance with Arlington’s dispute-resolution language for contractors, the company appealed to the County Board in July. But lawmakers voted unanimously in closed session to reject the contractor’s claims.
Schor, the contractor’s lawyer, said the “no” vote was “like being dragged through the mud,” he said.
“It makes me all the more surprised: When they have a contractor who they retain after careful selection, they don’t pay them for work they know is performed,” he added. “We are showing true heart and civic interest, and it’s time for the county to pay up.”
In a March letter included in court filings, county officials said that a project officer for the park renovations said the deal was a lump-sum contract, not a unit-price contract, as the landscaper had been insisting.
Deputy County Manager Shannon Flanagan-Watson added that the landscaper had missed “numerous opportunities” to ask for clarification on traffic maintenance and did not notify of additional contract time in a timely fashion.
She offered to settle the dispute for $272,600 and waive damages accrued when the contractor did not finish the renovations on schedule.
Arlington lawmakers had three years ago awarded a contract of up to $2.6 million to the landscaping firm. McDonnell Landscape submitted the lowest bid among five bidders that was “responsive to pricing requirements,” county officials wrote at the time. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/04/arlington-banneker-park-contractor-lawsuit/ | 2022-09-04T22:58:34Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/04/arlington-banneker-park-contractor-lawsuit/ | true |

'I won't let anyone talk this great country down': Liz Truss vows to help Britain recover from financial slump and emerge even stronger if she becomes Tory leader tomorrow
- Liz Truss promises to unveil plan to help millions of families with energy bills
- One option being considered is an energy bills freeze for families and businesses
- The mammoth package of support could be worth more than £100 billion
Liz Truss said last night it was time to stop talking Britain down as she vowed the country will come out of the cost of living crisis even stronger than before.
The Foreign Secretary, who is widely expected to be announced as the new Tory leader this afternoon, promised to unveil a plan to help millions of families with soaring energy bills in her first week as prime minister.
It is understood the mammoth package of support could be worth more than £100 billion – putting it on the same scale as the Covid furlough scheme.
Among the options being considered is a freeze on energy bills for both families and businesses.
The Foreign Secretary, who is widely expected to be announced as the new Tory leader this afternoon, promised to unveil a plan to help millions of families with soaring energy bills in her first week as prime minister
Miss Truss last night pledged 'rapid action' to get households through the winter and tackle the 'root cause' of the crisis.
'I have a bold plan to see Britain through difficult times and get us out the other side stronger,' she told the Daily Mail. 'If I am elected prime minister, I will work tirelessly to deliver for the people of Britain.'
She insisted she will 'not let anyone talk this great country down'.
'I will do everything in my power to make sure everyone, no matter where they are from, has the opportunity to go as far as their talent and hard work takes them.'
At 12.30pm today, bookies' favourite Miss Truss will find out if she has defeated Rishi Sunak when the result of the leadership contest is revealed in Westminster.
Miss Truss yesterday promised to act 'immediately' to tackle the energy crisis, but would not offer any details of the support struggling households can expect.
The Foreign Secretary, who denied she was being 'coy', said she wanted to reassure voters that help is coming but indicated they would need to wait for a few days to find out exactly what the support might look like.
Miss Truss last night pledged 'rapid action' to get households through the winter and tackle the 'root cause' of the crisis. 'I have a bold plan to see Britain through difficult times and get us out the other side stronger,' she told the Daily Mail
In an interview with the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Miss Truss said: 'I will act if I'm elected as prime minister. I will act immediately on bills and on energy supply because I think those two things go hand in hand.'
Miss Truss appeared to brush off dire warnings about the future as she insisted the country had 'been through worse'.
Miss Kuenssberg also grilled Miss Truss on the Bank of England, the NHS, and comparisons with Margaret Thatcher. Here, we look at the views of the politician who is expected to become the country's 56th prime minister tomorrow.
WE'RE NOT FACING ARMAGEDDON
Miss Truss admitted she faced a 'difficult' in-tray packed with tricky issues if she wins the keys to No 10, but warned against predictions of an 'Armageddon scenario'.
She said: 'I think we face some very, very serious challenges. We have the appalling war in Ukraine, perpetrated by Putin. We still have the aftermath of Covid, which was a massive economic shock, and we're also facing a severe energy crisis as well. I'm under no illusions about how difficult it is.
'But as a country we have faced tough challenges before, and we've got through those challenges, and I'm absolutely confident we have the wherewithal, the ability, to be able to deal with these challenges.
'I don't think, you know, we should be predicting a sort of Armageddon scenario. I think we are in a good position to deal with what are very tough challenges.'
I'LL TACKLE ENERGY CRISIS IMMEDIATELY
Families and businesses will be told what help they can expect with their energy bills during Miss Truss's first week as prime minister, she promised yesterday. Wider plans for the economy, including tax cuts, will follow in a Budget or financial statement within the first month.
Miss Truss said she understood 'people are worried' and she wanted to 'reassure' them, but she declined to give details.
'I will act if elected as prime minister, within one week,' she said. 'What I can't do... is tell you exactly what that announcement would be... Before you have been elected as prime minister you don't have all the wherewithal to get the things done. So, this is why it will take a week to sort out, you know, the precise plans and make sure we are able announce them.
'But what I want to be very clear about with the public is I understand that this is a huge problem. And I understand people are worried and I want to reassure people that I am absolutely determined to sort out this issue.'
Miss Truss declined to say if she would adopt Labour's plan to freeze the energy price cap.

REVERSING NATIONAL INSURANCE HIKE 'FAIR'
Miss Truss insisted her plan to reverse the rise in national insurance was 'fair' despite it benefiting most higher earners. The Foreign Secretary said 'growing the economy benefits everybody' and it is 'wrong' to look at everything through the 'lens of redistribution'.
Miss Kuenssberg put it to her that reversing the national insurance rise, which was introduced in April, would see the poorest stand to gain about £7 while the wealthiest could gain nearly £2,000.
Asked if that was fair, Miss Truss said: 'The people at the top of the income distribution pay more tax. So inevitably when you cut taxes you tend to benefit people who are more likely to pay tax. Of course, there are some people who don't pay tax at all.
'But to look at everything through the lens of redistribution, I believe, is wrong because what I am about is about growing the economy. And growing the economy benefits everybody.'
She added: 'So far, the economic debate for the past 20 years has been dominated by discussions about distribution, and what's happened is we have had relatively low growth.'
Challenged again on whether the cut would be fair, Miss Truss said: 'Yes, it is fair. We promised in our manifesto that we would not raise national insurance.
'I opposed the decision to raise it in Cabinet because it was the wrong decision.'
Miss Truss said she did not resign over the initial policy to increase national insurance because she preferred to stay 'and fight my corner, because I'm not somebody who quits – I'm somebody who gets the job done'.
BANK OF ENGLAND WILL REMAIN INDEPENDENT
The Bank of England will retain its interest rate-setting powers, even though Miss Truss has promised to look at other systems around the world when assessing whether it has the correct mandate.
She said yesterday: 'I'm a great believer in the independence of the Bank of England. We need to allow the Bank of England to do that job.
'I think it was about three decades ago we stopped politicians making decisions about interest rates. So, I'm not going to start saying what interest rates the Bank of England should be.'
Pushed again, she said: 'I think it would be completely wrong for me as a politician to say what I wanted interest rates to be and to countermand the Bank of England.'

HUGE NHS FUNDING IS SUSTAINABLE
Miss Truss said she was committed to the current NHS budget and her priorities would be primary care and GP appointments.
When Miss Kuenssberg said that by the next election the NHS will make up more than 40 per cent of day-to-day spending and asked if that can continue, she said: 'I'm completely committed to the budget we've set out for the National Health Service, but we do face real issues on the ground.
'Difficulty in getting GP appointments, difficulty in getting an NHS dentist, waiting times for ambulances are far too long. So, what I would do is appoint a health secretary who can tackle those issues.'
Asked if the funding was sustainable, Miss Truss said: 'Well, I think it is a priority for the public and it's a priority for me to make sure we're delivering for people.'
Pushed on whether people will get the care they are waiting for, she added: 'Yes. And what I would ask my health secretary to do is set out a clear plan of how we're going to achieve that. But I think one of my key priorities would be primary care and GP appointments.'

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
Rejecting suggestions of a need for a major shift in presentation from leadership candidate to prime minister, Miss Truss described her style as a politician as 'what you see is what you get'.
The leadership contender has faced repeated accusations that she is attempting to copy Margaret Thatcher.

Asked about how she will avoid the same fate as Boris Johnson, Miss Truss said: 'I will be clear with the public about what we are going to face and there will be challenging circumstances, there'll be difficult decisions to be made.
'Not all of those decisions will be popular but I will be honest about what we will have to do.
'I'm also somebody who is positive. And I'm clear that we can deal with these issues, that Britain has been through worse, frankly, in the past. We have the capability, we have the attitude, and we have the spirit to deal with the challenges.'
Team Liz: Who will be key players?
These are the senior Tories expected to form the core of Liz Truss's first Cabinet.
Kwasi Kwarteng
The Business Secretary is likely to be promoted to Chancellor and have the huge task of keeping the economy afloat and helping households through the cost of living squeeze.
Kwasi Kwarteng
He will replace Nadhim Zahawi, who could move to the Cabinet Office after just two months at the helm of the Treasury.
Mr Kwarteng's first actions will include reversing the national insurance increase and scrapping a planned rise in corporation tax.
Suella Braverman
She stood against Miss Truss in the leadership contest but her anti-woke stance and opposition to the European Convention on Human Rights is set to see her promoted from Attorney General to Home Secretary.
Suella Braverman
Her main task will be to crack down on Channel crossings by illegal migrants and to make sure those who do reach England are deported to Rwanda, which current Home Secretary Priti Patel has failed to do.
James Cleverly
An early backer of Miss Truss's candidacy, the Education Secretary is expected to be handed her current role of Foreign Secretary.
James Cleverly
The pair have worked together in the Foreign Office, where he was a junior minister, over the past year and he will keep up her strong support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia.
Therese Coffey
The Work and Pensions Secretary is a fellow member of the 2010 parliamentary intake whose Suffolk Coastal constituency neighbours Miss Truss's South West Norfolk seat, and they have long been allies.
The new Prime Minister is expected to make her friend Health Secretary, taking over from Steve Barclay who has made little impression during just a few weeks in the role.
Therese Coffey
She will have to tackle the huge waiting lists that have built up since Covid struck as well as the long delays for ambulances that patients are having to endure.
Ben Wallace
The Defence Secretary is one of the few members of Boris Johnson's final Cabinet expected to stay in their current role.
Ben Wallace
He had been tipped to run for party leader but said his focus was 'my current job and keeping this great country safe'.
Miss Truss has pledged to increase defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP.
Jacob Rees-Mogg
Founder of the investment fund Somerset Holdings, his experience is expected to be put to use as the new Business Secretary.
Jacob Rees-Mogg
His focus in the Cabinet Office has been on making the most of Brexit and getting civil servants back into the office, but his new role will include increasing investment in local energy production and tackling soaring prices.
Brandon Lewis
Like Miss Truss, he has been a Norfolk MP since 2010 – but he backed Nadhim Zahawi for the leadership at first.
Brandon Lewis
Mr Lewis, Northern Ireland Secretary for two years, could get his biggest role to date as Justice Secretary.
He would replace Dominic Raab, who is certain to return to the backbenches, and would have to handle the barristers' strike.
Simon Clarke
As Chief Secretary to the Treasury, he had been expected to back Chancellor Rishi Sunak for the party leadership.
But instead Mr Clarke quickly announced his support for Miss Truss and her plans to cut tax.
Simon Clarke
An MP in the North East where he grew up, he is in line to become Levelling-Up Secretary and will have to deliver on the promises made to voters in the 'red wall' constituencies at the last election. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11179405/Liz-Truss-vows-help-Britain-recover-financial-slump-emerge-stronger.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-09-04T23:09:05Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11179405/Liz-Truss-vows-help-Britain-recover-financial-slump-emerge-stronger.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
This is not just any storm in a teacup! M&S risks controversy by ditching saucers for mugs in its cafes
- M&S says it is swapping two pieces of crockery for one to save water and energy
- It will replace traditional china sets with mugs but still plans to use teapots
- Regular visitor Ron Moore, 86, said the move could 'cost them a lot of customers'
- But a company spokesperson said feedback was positive in the ten trial cafes
It is the quintessential British brand.
But Marks & Spencer is breaking with national tradition – by abandoning teacups and saucers in its cafes in favour of mugs.
The retail giant is making the shift to save water and energy, because it is quicker to clean a single mug rather than two pieces of crockery. It is still using teapots.
The move reflects a trend in homes where china cups and saucers – as well as teapots – are being pushed out of kitchen cupboards.
Most households now hardly use a china tea set and instead simply plonk a teabag in a mug.
But traditional china set fans Ron and Jennifer Moore, who are regular visitors to M&S in Longbridge, Birmingham, are disappointed. Mr Moore, 86, said: ‘We go to M&S once a week for our tea and toasted teacakes for breakfast, before doing our weekly shopping. We are very friendly with the staff and they informed us that cups and saucers were being removed.
M&S's are abandoning teacups and saucers in their cafes in favour of mugs to save water and energy (Pictured: an M&S cafe in Newcastle)
‘They are going to be replaced with just mugs and tea bags. This could cost them a lot of customers, especially as us pensioners love our pots of tea. They told us that they have had lots of complaints from pensioners.
‘The staff think it’s the cost of the electricity to run the dishwashers, so it would appear it’s purely financial.’
Tea sets were first imported from China during George IV’s reign, from 1762 to 1830. Initially a small amount of tea was poured into the saucer to promote rapid cooling. Over time, the saucer size evolved to hold the cup.

Handles were only added in Britain around 1750, largely thanks to designer Robert Adams. Adams made cups that were taller than their base and came with a saucer, which quickly became the standard of what is known as the English Tea Service Set.
An M&S spokesman said: ‘We have started providing customers with china mugs rather than cups and saucers to reduce water and energy use.
‘It reduces water as fewer items need dishwashing. We trialled it in ten cafés and it is now being rolled out to a further 50. Customer feedback has been positive.’ | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11179431/M-S-risks-controversy-ditching-saucers-mugs-cafes.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-09-04T23:09:19Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11179431/M-S-risks-controversy-ditching-saucers-mugs-cafes.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
NEW YORK (AP) — Casper Ruud still has a shot a becoming a U.S. Open champion — and the first Norwegian to hold the No. 1 ranking — with his first trip to the quarterfinals. He’ll take on 13th-seeded Italian Matteo Berrettini after both players won their fourth-round matches on Sunday.
The fifth-seeded Ruud, already the first Norwegian man to appear in the third and fourth rounds at the U.S. Open, advanced with a 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (4), 6-2 win over Corentin Moutet.
Berrettini reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals with a 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain.
Ruud must reach the final for at least the opportunity to become the top-ranked player in men’s tennis. The 23-year-old Ruud, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and current No. 1 Daniil Medvedev are the only players who can end the tournament as the world’s top-ranked player. Ruud is ranked No. 7 in the world.
Ruudd used 43 winners to earn the victory for his first match at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
”It has been a dream of mine to play on this court at least one time in my career,” Ruud said during an on-court interview. “Now I have a win here as well, so I can tell my future kids and grandkids that I played here and that will be a fun story to tell. It was amazing.”
Also Sunday, defending champion and No. 1 seed Daniil Medvedev plays 23rd-seeded Nick Kyrgios in an Arthur Ashe Stadium showdown where the winner should be the heavy favorite to reach the final. No. 12 seed Coco Gauff plays Shuai Zhang. Gauff, a French Open finalist this year, is trying to reach the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open for the first time in her career.
Moutet dropped to 0-8 lifetime against top-10 opponents but the Frenchman’s week at Flushing Meadows was already a success. He became the first lucky loser (a player who fails to make it out of qualifying but gets into the main draw when someone withdraws) to reach the fourth round at the U.S. Open.
Berrettini, the 2021 Wimbledon runner-up, reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the fifth straight time. He dropped out of Wimbledon in June because he tested positive for COVID-19 and he also missed the French Open.
Berrettini labored through most of the match but used 18 aces and six winning break points to advance.
“I’m really proud because I didn’t start the match the way I wanted to,” Berrettini said. “I was down a set and a break. I found the right energy. I have to say I was a little bit tired in the fourth, and he was playing unbelievable tennis. I lost the fourth, and I was like, ‘OK, now I’m going to give everything.’”
Ruud holds a 3-2 career edge over Berrettini.

Longtime Kohler Co. chairman Herb Kohler Jr., who led his family’s company for decades and put Wisconsin on the map as an international golf destination, passed away on Saturday at the age of 83.
In a press release Sunday afternoon, his family said that bold ideas and hands-on leadership transformed the plumbing products manufacturer founded by his grandfather into a global and diverse family of businesses synonymous with unmatched quality, creativity, and bold innovation.
Elected president of the company at age 35, Kohler worked at Kohler Co. for 61 years, leading the family-owned company into becoming a worldwide leader in home fixtures and furnishings. His son David took over as president in 2013 and Kohler had been serving as Executive Chairman.
In the early 1970s, Kohler was responsible for creating “THE BOLD LOOK OF KOHLER” that “forever changed the American bathroom and kitchen, transforming what were once utilitarian spaces into statements of design, style, sophistication, and craftsmanship,” his family said in the release.
During his 43-year span as CEO, he also transformed his family-owned company into a world leader, with more than 40,000 associates and dozens of manufacturing facilities on six continents.
The National Kitchen and Bath Hall of Fame inducted him in its founding year of 1989, followed by the National Housing Hall of Fame in 1993. Ernst & Young named him National Entrepreneur of the Year in Manufacturing in 2002, and Junior Achievement inducted him into its U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 2006.
A longtime professional golf fan, Kohler created two championship-level golf courses in Wisconsin: Blackwolf Run and Whistling Straits. The two courses have hosted six separate majors tournaments – the U.S. Women’s Open; the PGA Championship, three times; the U.S. Senior Open; and most recently the Ryder Cup in 2021. Kohler was inducted into the the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019 in honor of his work with golf in the state.
“His zest for life, adventure and impact inspires all of us. We traveled together, celebrated together, and worked together. He was all in, all the time, leaving an indelible mark on how we live our lives today and carry on his legacy,” his family said.
Kohler is survived by his wife, Natalie; two daughters, Laura and Rachel; and one son, David. | https://wtmj.com/news/2022/09/04/kohler-co-chairman-herb-kohler-jr-dead-at-83/ | 2022-09-04T23:13:33Z | https://wtmj.com/news/2022/09/04/kohler-co-chairman-herb-kohler-jr-dead-at-83/ | true |

ST. PETERSBURG — Andrew Benintendi was diagnosed with a broken hook of the hamate bone. The Yankees left fielder is not ready to rule out a comeback before the end of the season, but the typical rehab for baseball players with this is at least three to four weeks of immobilization before baseball activities are allowed.
“I mean, when I went through this (in college) it was right around a couple of weeks. We’ll see what happens obviously, I want to get back out there, get back in time for the latter part of the season and then hopefully the playoffs,” Benintendi said of his previous hamate bone surgery. “So, it’s all too early to say right now, obviously. So I’ll know more tomorrow when I’ve talked to doctors.”
Benintendi said he wasn’t sure what the immediate remedy would be, but it will likely be surgery at some point. He had the surgery his freshman year in college, which usually removes the hamate bone. That has created some confusion.
“I don’t really know much about bones or anything like that. So I’m just listening to what they’re telling me. Yeah, I didn’t know you could grow your bone or whatever it may be,” Benintendi said. “So. Yeah, it is what it is. It’s unfortunate.”
The hamate bone is one of the seven small carpal bones in the wrist. The hook of the bone is the pointy protrusion that is usually broken. It can happen suddenly with a hard swing and sudden stop or stress fractures can form over time with repeated swings. The normal procedure is surgery to remove it and then immobilization.
“The recovery is different for everyone,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It doesn’t necessarily rule him out (for the rest of the season).”
Since the Yankees acquired him from the Royals at the trade deadline, Benintendi is hitting .239/.318/.381 with a .698 OPS, two home runs, eight doubles and a triple.
RIZZO RESTS
Anthony Rizzo has responded well to the epidural he received Thursday in California to help with the back pain that has been nagging him this season. The first baseman was on what the Yankees hope is his final day of rest back in New York and they expect him to start ramping him up to play again.
“That’s the hope, starting (Monday), “Boone said.
Rizzo could be doing baseball activities for the next two days and they hope to potentially have him back in the lineup on Wednesday.
Boone reiterated there is no consideration to put Rizzo on the injured list.
In the 19 games since Rizzo missed five games with the issue, he is hitting .212/.394/.691 with three home runs. Overall this season, Rizzo is hitting .225/.339/.493 with an .832 OPS and 30 home runs.
BRITTON BOUNCES BACK
Sports Buzz
In his first game appearance since he left his rehab appearance on August 27, Zack Britton pitched a 1-2-3 inning for the Tampa Tarpon Saturday night. He threw 12 pitches, nine for strikes and struck out two.
Most importantly, the veteran lefty who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, bounced back fine.
“I know after last night, yeah. He was doing well,” Boone said.
In other reliever rehab news, Scott Effross, the right-handed side armer the Yankees acquired from the Cubs, is throwing on flat ground and expected to throw a bullpen at the end of the week.
FOCUSED ON FRUSTRATION
Aaron Boone was ejected in the fifth inning of Sunday’s win, arguing a catcher’s interference call. It was Boone’s major-league leading seventh ejection and a new career high for him.
Aside from the Yankees going 4-6 on this road trip, Boone was frustrated because he had lost his challenge on an earlier call. The Yankees thought that Rays catcher Christian Bethancourt had caught a DJ LeMahieu pop up off the netting behind home plate. The replay showed he did not. When Kyle Higashioka was called for catcher’s interference, which the replay showed, Boone went out and argued with home plate umpire Vic Carapazza and was tossed.
“We ended up challenging but then obviously couldn’t challenge the non catcher’s interference. So there was some frustration there but yeah. We had a pretty good angle from the bench. I did not see it in the net, but coaches right next to me are angled.” | https://www.mcall.com/sports/yankees/ny-andrew-benintendi-may-miss-rest-season-broken-wrist-20220904-3oq7xvmxtfdqdcxt7e7u6fvja4-story.html | 2022-09-04T23:20:38Z | https://www.mcall.com/sports/yankees/ny-andrew-benintendi-may-miss-rest-season-broken-wrist-20220904-3oq7xvmxtfdqdcxt7e7u6fvja4-story.html | true |

Baby strollers recalled due to potential injury to children's fingers
(Gray News) – A brand that makes baby gear is recalling one of its strollers due to potential injury from the stroller’s disc brakes.
UPPAbaby is recalling the All-Terrain Ridge Jogging Strollers because of the possibility for a child to injure their fingers by putting them in the openings in the disc brakes while the stroller is in use.
The strollers were sold at BuyBuyBaby, NordStrom, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn Kids and other specialty and children’s stores nationwide. They were also sold online at Amazon.com for about $600 from October 2021 through August 2022.
The strollers have an extended canopy with a mesh window and zipper pocket, a disc handbrake system, and an adjustable handlebar with a wrist strap. The brand UPPAbaby is on the front of the stroller, with RIDGE written on the side of the stroller’s frame.
They also have a black frame and a fabric color scheme that is white, charcoal, or slate blue, and have black tires.
The serial number of the strollers appear on the right side of the frame above the rear wheel and begin with “1401RDGUS.” The model number is printed on the left side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel and reads “1401-RDG-US.”
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says there has been one report of a child injuring a finger, resulting in the amputation of the child’s fingertip. The child was also outside of the stroller when the injury occurred.
If you own one of the strollers, you are urged to stop using the stroller immediately and contact UPPAbaby for the free replacement of the brake discs for both wheels.

Twitter reacts to Rutgers NJ football spending $450K on DoorDash
Public reaction has been strong to $450,000 spent on DoorDash orders by the Rutgers University football team over the course of roughly a year, according to a report by NorthJersey.com.
The report analyzed 14 months of records from May 2021 through June of this year, as the Rutgers Athletics Department had given student-athletes the option to use the meal courier service “in instances when a permissible meal was not otherwise available or provided,” according to a department spokesperson.
“The DoorDash program was set up to provide $75 per week, ($15 for 5 to-go meals) and the weekly amounts were to be uploaded one week at a time,” according to a lengthy release from the athletics department, as received by New Jersey 101.5.
“Over 14 months there were roughly 19,745 orders for student-athletes at an average monthly transaction cost of $22.88,” it continued.
According to NorthJersey.com, there were “hundreds of individual orders for at least $50,” including $250 from Crab Du Jour Xpress in Pennsauken and $152 from the remaining Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse in Union County within the first month of the RU athletics program with DoorDash.
There also was a $120 single charge from Hook & Reel restaurant in Elmwood Park, two months later, the same report said.
For anyone using the DoorDash platform, there are a number of fees that vary for each restaurant, which the company says go to paying the food “Dashers,” operate the DoorDash platform, and provide the best service possible.
Pricing also fluctuates depending on when an order is placed.
DoorDash accounts for student-athletes “was not exclusive to members of the football team,” the Athletics Department has also said, “as DoorDash was made available to other teams provided that adequate funding was available in their budgets.”
The DoorDash spending began just as Rutgers Athletics saw a record deficit of $73 million for the 2020-2021 year, as previously reported by NJ.com, after the COVID pandemic prompted a shortened, nine-game schedule with only some family members and coaches allowed at each venue.
NorthJersey.com also found that at least five athletes made a dozen DoorDash orders from stores that do not sell human food — including PetSmart, Bed Bath and Beyond and The Flower and Gift Boutique — for a total of more than $560 over several months.
“There were three student-athletes who made limited purchases of non-food items, which was outside the constraints of the program,” the athletics department release said, which added “ those have been addressed in the manner required by the NCAA.”
Reaction on Twitter to the Rutgers football DoorDash spending report has largely been sarcastic, with a tinge of exasperation.
“So...without the DoorDash from the FB players, Rutgers deficit would be around $72.5M. Oh, well then.”
“Do You know what is outrageous?? Rutgers football has won 10 games… in the past 3 years. They don’t deserve DoorDash”
“$450K is like 7 DoorDash orders…”
"Rutgers football spent 450k on doordash this last year - Probably only got 200k worth of food"
“If rutgers can give the football team $450k for doordash my term bill better be real low”
As of late June, Rutgers’ Athletics had swapped DoorDash for Grubhub.
Sen. Jim Holzapfel previously slammed the department’s “wasteful spending.”
“Rutgers athletics seems to have a penchant for wasting taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars,” Holzapfel (R-10) said in a statement in July, following an earlier NorthJersey.com report. He continued:
“It runs up $10 million in credit card debt, receives $100 million from Democrats in the state budget, and all the while our K-12 schools face significant budget cuts and layoffs. As I’ve said before, our local schools should be funded first, period. We should not be using taxpayer dollars to bail out the athletics division yet again, especially in light of these recent credit card spending sprees. This wasteful spending is only driving the cost of college tuition higher for tens of thousands of New Jersey families who are already struggling with high taxes and inflation.”
Holzapfel was not available for comment on the specific DoorDash spending analysis.
On Friday, Sen. Declan O'Scanlon called for an investigation into the Rutgers Athletics Department.
“It is absolutely mind-blowing that this was allowed to happen without the notice of someone overseeing the accumulating invoices. The person responsible for that lack of oversight needs to be held accountable," O'Scanlon said in a written release.

(The Hill) – A federal judge on Friday tossed out a “child pornography” lawsuit filed by the man who appeared as the naked baby on the cover of Nirvana’s iconic 1991 album “Nevermind,” handing a victory to the band after a yearlong legal battle.
The ruling is likely the end of 31-year-old Spencer Elden’s litigation against Nirvana. Elden first sued the grunge rock band last year, alleging they had engaged in “child pornography” because the album cover featured a photo of him as a naked baby, swimming in a pool toward a dollar bill on a fish hook.
U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Olguin in the Central District of California dismissed the case because Elden did not file the complaint within the 10-year statute of limitations for victims of sexual assaults or offenses. That statute requires him to file a complaint within 10 years of becoming reasonably aware of the personal injury.
“Plaintiff does not dispute that he knew of injuries arising from defendant’s activities related to their use of his image on the ‘Nevermind’ album cover more than ten years before he filed this action,” Olguin wrote in his opinion, agreeing with the defendants, who asked for a dismissal because of the statute limitation.
Elden was four months old when Nirvana hired Kirk Weddle to photograph him in a California pool for the album.
Upon its release, “Nevermind” brought the band international fame and is widely considered to be one of the best rock albums of all time.
In August 2021, Elden sued Nirvana; Weddle; the estate of the late Kurt Cobain; Dave Grohl, the band’s former drummer; bassist Krist Novoselic and Universal Music Group, among other defendants.
In January, Olguin ordered the case would be dismissed unless Elden filed an amended complaint, which he did that month, seeking $150,000 in damages.
In the amended complaint, Elden argues the album cover features a “lascivious exhibition” of his “genitals on the cover.”
“The conduct depicted, particularly the activation of Spencer’s gag reflex and the prominence and positioning of his genitals in the image, suggests sexual coyness or a willingness to engage in sexual activity,” the complaint reads. “The image was intended and designed to elicit a sexual response.”
Nirvana and the other defendants pushed back, saying the now-famous photograph is protected by artistic expression and the photo evokes images of a cherub, or an angelic baby.
The defendants also accused Elden of “profiting from his celebrity as the self-anointed ‘Nirvana Baby'” and picking up women with the title. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/judge-tosses-child-pornography-suit-over-nirvana-album-cover/ | 2022-09-04T23:43:56Z | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/judge-tosses-child-pornography-suit-over-nirvana-album-cover/ | false |

REGINA, Saskatchewan (AP) — A series of stabbings in two communities in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan left 10 people dead and 15 wounded, authorities said Sunday. Police are looking for two suspects.
The stabbings took place in multiple locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, police said.
Rhonda Blackmore, the Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects but others appear to have been attacked at random. She couldn’t provide a motive.
“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today,” Blackmore said.
She said there are 13 crime scenes where either deceased or injured people were found. She urged the suspects to turn themselves in.
Police said the last information they had from the public was that the suspects were sighted in Saskatchewan’s capital of Regina around lunchtime. There have been so sightings since.
“If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location. DO NOT APPROACH suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch hikers. Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. Do not disclose police locations,” the RCMP said in a message on Twitter.
Weldon resident Diane Shier said she was in her garden Sunday morning when she noticed emergency crews a couple of blocks away.
Shier said her neighbor, a man who lived with his grandson, was killed. She did not want to identify the victim out of respect for his family.
“I am very upset because I lost a good neighbor,” she said.
The search for suspects was carried out as fans descended in Regina for a sold out annual Labor Day game between the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Regina Police Service said in a news release that with the help of Mounties, it was working on several fronts to locate and arrest the suspects and had “deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game at Mosaic Stadium.″
The alert first issued by Melfort, Saskatchewan RCMP about 7 a.m. was extended hours later to cover Manitoba and Alberta, as the two suspects remained at large.
Damien Sanderson, 31, was described as five feet seven inches tall and 155 pounds, and Myles Sanderson, 30, as six-foot-one and 200 pounds. Both have black hair and brown eyes and may be driving a black Nissan Rogue.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said multiple patients were being treated at several sites.
“A call for additional staff was issued to respond to the influx of casualties,” authority spokeswoman Anne Linemann said in an email.
Mark Oddan, a spokesman with STARS Air Ambulance, said two helicopters were dispatched from Saskatoon and another from Regina.
He said two carried patients to the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, while the third carried a patient to Royal University from a hospital in Melfort, a short distance southeast of Weldon.
Oddan said due to privacy laws, he could not disclose information about their ages, genders or conditions. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/canadian-police-10-dead-15-injured-from-stabbings/ | 2022-09-04T23:46:02Z | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/canadian-police-10-dead-15-injured-from-stabbings/ | true |
Yankees' Benintendi has broken wrist bone, status uncertain
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi has a broken bone in his right wrist that will need surgery, but said he didn't know whether it was a season-ending injury.
"It's all too early to say right now, obviously," Benintendi said. "We´re still trying to learn some more things. That´s what it is right now. Just take it day by day at this point right now, I guess."
Manager Aaron Boone revealed the diagnosis of a broken hook hamate bone and the need for surgery after the AL East leaders beat Tampa Bay 2-1 on Sunday. Benintendi will be further examined by doctors Monday back in New York.
Benintendi said he had a previous surgery that removed hook during his freshman year of college and was surprised by Sunday's developments.
"I don't really know about bones or anything like that," Benintendi said. "So, I'm just listening to what they're telling me. Yeah, I didn't know you could grow another bone or whatever it may be."
Benintendi was hurt while taking a swing Friday night and was put on the 10-day injured list the next day.

The 28-year-old Benintendi was an All-Star this season with Kansas City, then was traded to the Yankees in late July. He got off to a slow start with New York, but recently had been more productive at the plate.
Benintendi is hitting .304 overall with 51 RBIs. He is batting .254 with 12 RBIs in 33 games for the Yankees.

Mohave County man arrested in connection with the death of woman after domestic dispute
A man was arrested in suspicion of killing the woman he lived with in Mohave County, according to police.
Mohave County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to a domestic violence call near the Interstate 40 and W 12435 South Street in Yucca, Arizona. They discovered the dead body of 32-year-old Michelle Bock-Caswell around 12:37 a.m.
When deputies arrived, James Jarvy, 33, was detained and taken to a local hospital to treat his injuries. Once released, he was booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree murder, according to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators said that Jarvy and Bock-Caswell had gotten into an altercation, and Bock-Caswell yelled for help.
Two men who lived at a separate residence on the property responded to her screaming and "observed Jarvy on top of the victim, holding a choke hold around her neck," according to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office.
According to police, the two men shouted at Jarvy to get off Bock-Caswell, but he refused, and she was unresponsive. He then threatened the two witnesses, one of which he got into a physical altercation, police said.
The Mohave County Medical Examiner's Office will be conducting an autopsy to determine an official cause of death.

For this teacher weighing up a return to the classroom, there are bigger issues than pay
By Peter Gunders, David Chen, and Sally RaffertyPaige Rundle is on long service leave from the profession she loves, but admits it's unlikely she will return to teaching full time.
Ms Rundle is one of thousands of registered Australian teachers opting not to step back into the classroom, as the teacher shortage worsens.
But she says it's not a question of pay.
"The money's not that bad — it's that they've taken teaching out of our hands," she said.
"They've got to give teachers the freedom to actually teach."
Ms Rundle is studying publishing and weighing up a career change, but admits teaching will always be in her blood.
"I've started teaching horseriding, because it scratches the 'itch', but it's sad because the same joy isn't there in the classroom anymore, and it should be," she said.
A national issue
Teacher shortages are not a problem unique to Queensland, with modelling showing the demand for secondary school teachers across Australia will outstrip graduates by more than 4,100 teachers over the next three years.
A national action plan is expected to be endorsed by December to recruit and retain more teachers, with talk of better pay for more experienced staff.
Ms Rundle said she hoped any national action plan would address common concerns among teachers about the curriculum, workload and discipline.
"At the moment it's a rotating wheel where the same kids get suspended; they come back, and it's a 'reward' to be sent home again. And the kids know we can't do anything about it.
"All the while, it is disruptive to the whole class."
Ms Rundle said, in addition, teachers were now expected to do a lot of parenting – making the classroom an unappealing environment to work in.
Parents back action
Queensland's Education Minister Grace Grace has sought to reassure parents that teacher shortages are not affecting students' NAPLAN results.
"The Grattan Institute has given Queensland a gold star for growth in student outcomes so we're very proud of that," Ms Grace said.
"We are providing added incentives for teachers to teach in regional and remote Queensland, so hopefully that will really give us a boost along in terms of teacher numbers."
Parents are worried about the long-term consequences of the shortage and the impact of their children's education and future.
"Parents are concerned in … making sure that kids have appropriate supervision at school," P&C's Queensland chief executive Scott Wiseman said.
'Linchpin role'
Queensland Teachers Union vice president Leah Olsson said there needed to be a "discussion at the dinner table" about the value of teachers to society.
"We need resourcing for our state schooling, and we need respect for the linchpin role that they play in our community," she said.
Ms Olsson said better incentives were also needed, such as paid-for flights, to attract teachers to regional and rural areas of Queensland.
Back in the paddock, Ms Rundle is enjoying many more "pure teaching moments" at the horseriding school.
She said while there was no silver bullet, looking to successful countries could help make classrooms enticing for Australian teachers once again.
"There's a reason why Finland is number one for education," she said.
"They value the role of the teacher." | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-05/what-will-entice-teachers-back-to-the-classroom/101396046 | 2022-09-05T00:09:19Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-05/what-will-entice-teachers-back-to-the-classroom/101396046 | true |

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jose Altuve had three hits and drove in three runs and José Urquidy pitched four-hit ball over seven innings as the Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Angels 9-1 on Sunday.
Mike Trout helped the Angels avert a shutout with his 29th home run, a solo shot to center in the eighth inning off Astros' reliever Brandon Bielak.
Reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani was given the day off by Angels interim manager Phil Nevin. The Japanese two-way phenom allowed only one run in eight innings during Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Astros in 12 innings, but had gone 2 for 12 at the plate in his last three games.
Altuve chased Angels' starter Tucker Davidson (2-5) with a two-run homer to left field for his 23rd of the season. The All-Star second baseman — who went 6 for 13 in the series — also had an RBI double during a five-run second inning.
Urquidy (13-5) struck out eight. The right-hander retired 12 straight from the third through seventh innings before Mike Ford lined a base hit to right field. Urquidy is 8-2 since June 21, which is tied with teammate Justin Verlander and Chicago's Dylan Cease for most wins in the AL during that span.
Kyle Tucker also went deep for the Astros, who have won five of their last six.
Houston took control with a five-run second inning. After Trey Mancini drew a walk to lead off the second, Tucker drove an inside hanging curveball into the right-field stands to put the Astros up 2-0.
Houston's other runs in the inning came on David Hensley's two-run double and Altuve's RBI double.
Davidson, who got the start for Atlanta in Game 5 of the World Series last year, continued to struggle against the Astros. The left-hander allowed four runs in two innings last fall before he gave up seven runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings Sunday. Davidson struck out four in his fifth start for the Angels since being acquired at the deadline.
Coincidentally, Urquidy also got the win last October. He tossed an inning of scoreless relief in the Astros' 9-5 victory.
HEAT WAVE
The first pitch temperature of 102° at Angel Stadium was the sixth-highest since the ballpark opened in 1966.
The highest temperature in Angels history was 109° on Sept. 5, 2020, for the first game of a doubleheader against the Astros.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Astros: C Martín Maldonado was scratched from the lineup due to illness. ... 1B Alex Bregman received a rare day off. ... Yordan Alvarez returned to the lineup after missing the past five games due to a sore hand. He had a two-run single in the ninth.
Angels: RHP Michael Lorenzen (right shoulder strain) will come off the 60-day injured list before he takes the mound on Friday in Houston. Lorenzen’s last big league start was on July 1.
UP NEXT
Astros: Return home Monday to begin a three-game series against Texas. Top prospect RHP Hunter Brown makes his big league debut after he led the Pacific Coast League in ERA (2.55) and strikeouts (134).
Angels: Host Detroit for three games beginning Monday. LHP José Suarez (5-6, 4.10 ERA) is 4-2 with 32 strikeouts in his last six starts.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols collected home run No. 695 in the eighth inning and Miles Mikolas tossed eight shutout innings to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
Pujols drilled the two-run, pinch-hit shot off reliever Brandon Hughes (2-2).
A probable future Hall of Famer, Pujols trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714) and Alex Rodriguez (696) on the all-time home run list.
Pujols has seven pinch-hit homers in his career, including two this season. He has homered against 451 different pitchera, an all-time record.
The 42-year-old jumped on an 0-1 offering.
“It’s just pretty special to be able to do that,” Pujols said. “There’s some nights that you’re going to come through and some nights that you don’t. The nights that you do, you just enjoy it. And that’s what I’m going to enjoy tonight.”
Tommy Edman started the rally with a one-out double.
“I was 100% confident that he was going to find a way to drive me in,” Edman said. “As crazy as it is, we just expect that to happen now. He’s the best right-handed hitter of our generation.”
Pujols, in his last season, has found a way to come through in dramatic fashion all season long.
“There’s times in this game where you take a step back from being locked into the game and you get to be a fan for a minute, and experience it the way everyone else is,” St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol said. “That was one of them. You take it all in because what he’s doing is absolutely incredible.”
Pujols hit his 130th career home run on Sundays, the most of any day.
Chicago manager David Ross indicated that he would have walked Pujols if Hughes got behind in the count.
“You’ve got to trust your guys,” Ross said. “Wanted to attack Albert. He just left one over the middle.”
St. Louis has won four in a row, 18 of its last 20 home games and is a season-best 24 games over .500 at 79-55. It was the Cardinals’ eighth series sweep of the season.
Chicago has lost seven of eight.
Mikolas (11-10) gave up two hits. He struck out three and walked one. Ryan Helsley earned his 13th save in 17 chances.
Chicago starter Marcus Stroman allowed four hits in seven shutout innings. He struck out five and did not walk a batter in a 98-pitch stint.
The start of the game was delayed 1 hour, 28 minutes by rain.
HOMETOWN HERO
Boston Celtics standout Jayson Tatum, a St. Louis native, threw out the first pitch. Tatum played high school basketball at Chaminade College Prep, located 14 miles from Busch Stadium.
QUICK GETAWAY
The Cardinals have scored 91 runs in the first inning, second to the Los Angeles Dodgers with 95.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: C Willson Contreras missed the game with a sore left foot. He suffered the injury Tuesday against Toronto.
Cardinals: LHP Steven Matz will make a rehab start on Tuesday at Double-A Springfield. He has been out since Aug. 8 with a left knee sprain.
UP NEXT
Cubs: LHP Wade Miley (1-0, 2.84 ERA) will start on Tuesday as the Cubs begin a six-game homestand by hosting Cincinnati. Miley has been out since June 11 with a left shoulder strain. RHP Justin Dunn (1-2, 4.63) will start for the Reds.
Cardinals: RHP Jack Flaherty (0-0, 5.63) will face Washington RHP Anibal Sanchez (1-5, 5.05) in the first of a four-game series on Monday afternoon in St. Louis. Flaherty has been out since June 27 with a right shoulder strain. He made five rehab starts in the minors.

REGINA, Saskatchewan (AP) — A series of stabbings in two communities in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan left 10 people dead and 15 wounded, authorities said Sunday. Police are looking for two suspects.
The stabbings took place in multiple locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, police said.
Rhonda Blackmore, the Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects but others appear to have been attacked at random. She couldn’t provide a motive.
“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today,” Blackmore said.
She said there are 13 crime scenes where either deceased or injured people were found. She urged the suspects to turn themselves in.
Police said the last information they had from the public was that the suspects were sighted in Saskatchewan’s capital of Regina around lunchtime. There have been so sightings since.
“If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location. DO NOT APPROACH suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch hikers. Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. Do not disclose police locations,” the RCMP said in a message on Twitter.
Weldon resident Diane Shier said she was in her garden Sunday morning when she noticed emergency crews a couple of blocks away.
Shier said her neighbor, a man who lived with his grandson, was killed. She did not want to identify the victim out of respect for his family.
“I am very upset because I lost a good neighbor,” she said.
The search for suspects was carried out as fans descended in Regina for a sold out annual Labor Day game between the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Regina Police Service said in a news release that with the help of Mounties, it was working on several fronts to locate and arrest the suspects and had “deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game at Mosaic Stadium.″
The alert first issued by Melfort, Saskatchewan RCMP about 7 a.m. was extended hours later to cover Manitoba and Alberta, as the two suspects remained at large.
Damien Sanderson, 31, was described as five feet seven inches tall and 155 pounds, and Myles Sanderson, 30, as six-foot-one and 200 pounds. Both have black hair and brown eyes and may be driving a black Nissan Rogue.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said multiple patients were being treated at several sites.
“A call for additional staff was issued to respond to the influx of casualties,” authority spokeswoman Anne Linemann said in an email.
Mark Oddan, a spokesman with STARS Air Ambulance, said two helicopters were dispatched from Saskatoon and another from Regina.
He said two carried patients to the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, while the third carried a patient to Royal University from a hospital in Melfort, a short distance southeast of Weldon.
Oddan said due to privacy laws, he could not disclose information about their ages, genders or conditions. | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national-news/canadian-police-10-dead-15-injured-from-stabbings/ | 2022-09-05T00:45:41Z | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national-news/canadian-police-10-dead-15-injured-from-stabbings/ | true |
Kids and parents slowly filed in and filled up the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Roxbury Sunday afternoon, lining up for backpacks, haircuts, ice cream and — the braver bunch — roller skates.
The center hosted a back-to-school skate party from 2 to 5 p.m. ahead of the first day of classes Thursday. The event, organized by state Rep. Chynah Tyler, D-Boston, was made up of “lots of hands from the community,” including a mobile skate camp, local barbers, community organizations and several political representatives.
“It’s about making sure our students have what they need to be not only prepared for school but also feel confident in showing up on the first day,” said Tyler. “We want to make sure to do everything to support our students because we know if they feel good about learning, they’ll excel.”
Tyler said an hour into the event they’d had about 100 people and were hoping to triple that.
A volunteer reported the event received over 300 backpacks, along with hundreds of items like binders, pencils and crayons. Barbers volunteered three hours of haircuts, organizers rented out an ice cream truck, and even Door Dash donated gift cards to give out.
“You get a haircut, you look good, you feel good,” said Kalongie Bradley, a barber from Everything Is Real Hair Care, recalling his own time in school. … “I just wanted to help out the kids, you know, have them look fresh for school.”
For the first half hour or so, the gymnasium was filled mostly with eager volunteers and thundering music, an empty skating arena blocked off in the middle.
But eventually a couple brave ice cream cone-wielding kids beelined to the SkateFitBoston table, drawing watchful parents and a couple ungraceful politicians onto the floor.
“They’re loving it,” Tyler said, two young girls laughing as they collided in the more lively arena and fell behind her. “Skating is always like a number one thing. Glad we can provide an opportunity to do it in a safe space.”

Paris mayor tells scooter riders, pay up or push off,
Hundreds of motorcycles and scooters converged on the city hall in Paris in protest against the left-wing council’s introduction of parking charges for all petrol-powered two wheelers.
The demonstration, organised by the Federation of Angry Motorcyclists, a national campaign group, marked the opening of a new battle in a decade-long war waged by Anne Hidalgo, the Socialist mayor, and Bertrand Delanoë, her predecessor, to squeeze them out of Paris.
Many of the 100,000 commuters who use motorised two-wheel transport are refusing to pay the charge of up to €3 an hour which began on Thursday after riders’ campaign groups lost a seven-year fight to block it. Until now, parking was free for petrol-powered two wheelers.

SUMMERVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Thunderstorms and heavy rain pounded parts of northwest Georgia on Sunday, sparking flash flooding in some areas. Local news reports showed roads under water and homeowners struggling to keep water out.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon in Chattooga and Floyd Counties, directing all state resources to help with “preparation, response and recovery activities.” The National Weather Service said rainfall of up to one inch per hour was causing creeks, streams, roadways and urban areas to experience unusually high levels of water. Up to 12 inches of rain was estimated to have fallen in the area, according to Kemp’s executive order.
“This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order,” the service said.
The service declared a “flash flood emergency” for Summerville, Lyerly and James H. Floyd State Park in Chattooga County. Floyd County — just to the south — was also under a flash flood warning.
At 3:10 p.m., the service advised locals to avoid non-emergency travel as another round of emergency rainfall entered the area.
The city of Summerville advised residents who use the city’s water utility services to boil water prior to drinking, cooking or preparing baby food due to flash flooding at the Raccoon Creek Filter plant.
“Water should be boiled for at least one minute after reaching a rolling boil. Citizens should continue to boil their water until they are notified by their drinking water utility that the water system has been restored to full operation, and that the microbiological quality of the water in the distribution system is safe for human consumption,” the city said on its website.

(AP) – Tyrone Taylor hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning after pinch-hitter Rowdy Tellez’s tying solo shot in the ninth, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.
Andrew McCutchen pulled the Brewers within 6-5 with a run-scoring single in the eighth inning after an out call at the plate was overturned on review.
Tellez then tied it with his 28th homer of the season in the ninth, a solo shot off Ian Kennedy.
Taylor, who also hit a solo homer in the fifth inning, put the Brewers up 8-6 with his homer off Joe Mantiply.
Devin Williams worked a perfect ninth and Taylor Rogers struck out two and fielded Stone Garrett’s hard grounder in the 10th to close out his 30th save. | https://wtmj.com/wtmj-podcast-network/brewers-extra-innings/2022/09/04/taylor-hits-2-run-homer-in-10th-brewers-beat-diamondbacks-8-6/ | 2022-09-05T01:01:39Z | https://wtmj.com/wtmj-podcast-network/brewers-extra-innings/2022/09/04/taylor-hits-2-run-homer-in-10th-brewers-beat-diamondbacks-8-6/ | false |
SHORT GAP, W.Va. — Cam Lynch notched a hat trick to guide the Frankfort Falcons to a 5-0 rout of Mineral County rival Keyser on Saturday.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani engineers cut into an embankment for one of the country’s largest lakes on Sunday to release rising waters in the hopes of saving a nearby city and town from flooding as officials predicted more monsoon rain was on the way for the country’s already devastated south.
While officials hope the cut in the sides of Lake Manchar will protect about half a million people who live in the city of Sehwan and the town of Bhan Saeedabad, villages that are home to 150,000 people are in the path of the diverted waters. The hometown of Sindh province’s chief minister was among the affected villages, whose residents were warned to evacuate ahead of time, according to the provincial information minister.
More than 1,300 people have died and millions have lost their homes in flooding caused by unusually heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan this year that many experts have blamed on climate change. In response to the unfolding disaster, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres last week called on the world to stop “sleepwalking” through the crisis. He plans to visit flood-hit areas on Sept. 9.
Several countries have flown in supplies, but the Pakistani government has pleaded for even more help, faced with the enormous task of feeding and housing those affected, as well as protecting them from waterborne diseases.
While floods have touched much of the country, Sindh province has been the most affected.
With meteorologists predicting more rain in the coming days, including around Sindh’s Lake Manchar, and its level already rising, authorities ordered that water be released from it. Sindh’s chief minister, Murad Ali Shah, made the call even though his own village could be flooded, said Sharjil Inam Memon, the provincial information minister. The government helped residents of the villages in the waters’ path to evacuate ahead of time, said Memon.
The hope was that the water, once released, would flow into the nearby Indus River, but the lake’s level continued to rise even after the cut was made, according to Fariduddin Mustafa, administrator for Jamshoro district, where the affected villages are located. Authorities have also warned residents of neighboring Dadu district that they might be at risk of more flooding in coming days.
While the release valve was created in one area, army engineers worked elsewhere to reinforce the banks of Lake Manchar, which is the largest natural freshwater lake in Pakistan and one of the largest in Asia.
In its latest report, Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority put the death toll since mid-June — when monsoon rains started weeks earlier than is typical — at 1,314, as more fatalities were reported from flood-affected areas of Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan provinces. The report said 458 children were among the dead.
Rescue operations continued Sunday with troops and volunteers using helicopters and boats to get people stranded out of flooded areas to relief camps, the authority said. Tens of thousands of people are already living in such camps, and thousands more have taken shelter on roadsides on higher ground.
Hira Ikram, a physician at a camp established by Britain’s Islamic Mission in Sukkur charity, said many people had scabies, gastrointestinal infections and fevers.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who is visiting flood-affected areas and relief camps daily, called for more international help Sunday.
“With over 400 (children) dead they make up one third of overall death toll. Now they are at even greater risk of water borne diseases, UNICEF and other global agencies should help,” he tweeted.
UNICEF, in fact, delivered tons of medicine, medical supplies, water purifying tablets and nutritional supplements to Pakistan on Sunday.
Alkidmat Foundation, a welfare organization, said its volunteers used boats to deliver ready-to-eat meals and other help for residents as well as animal feed on a small island in the Indus. The group also distributed food and items needed by those living by the roadside.
In the country’s northwest, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the provincial disaster management authority warned of more rains, possible flash floods and landslides in the coming week in Malakand and Hazara districts. Taimur Khan, spokesman for the authority, urged residents Sunday not to go to any of the areas already flooded in recent weeks.
According to initial government estimates, the devastation has caused $10 billion in damage, but Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal said Saturday “the scale of devastation is massive and requires an immense humanitarian response for 33 million people.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi has a broken bone in his right wrist that will need surgery, but said he didn’t know whether it was a season-ending injury.
“It’s all too early to say right now, obviously,” Benintendi said. “We’re still trying to learn some more things. That’s what it is right now. Just take it day by day at this point right now, I guess.”
Manager Aaron Boone revealed the diagnosis of a broken hook hamate bone and the need for surgery after the AL East leaders beat Tampa Bay 2-1 on Sunday. Benintendi will be further examined by doctors Monday back in New York.
Benintendi said he had a previous surgery that removed hook during his freshman year of college and was surprised by Sunday’s developments.
“I don’t really know about bones or anything like that,” Benintendi said. “So, I’m just listening to what they’re telling me. Yeah, I didn’t know you could grow another bone or whatever it may be.”
Benintendi was hurt while taking a swing Friday night and was put on the 10-day injured list the next day.
The 28-year-old Benintendi was an All-Star this season with Kansas City, then was traded to the Yankees in late July. He got off to a slow start with New York, but recently had been more productive at the plate.
Benintendi is hitting .304 overall with 51 RBIs. He is batting .254 with 12 RBIs in 33 games for the Yankees.

High school football player dies after suffering head injury, family says
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD/Gray News) - A high school student in Texas has died after sustaining a severe head injury during a junior varsity football game.
KCBD reports that sophomore Yahir Cancino was injured during Thursday’s game when the Dalhart Golden Wolves were taking on the Sundown Roughnecks.
Officials stated the Dalhart High School student lost consciousness during the game. When medical staff could not revive him, he was airlifted to a hospital and placed in the pediatric intensive care unit.
Yahir’s family started a GoFundMe account, asking for assistance through prayer and donations.
“I believe in the power of prayers. I believe in miracles. We continue to ask for your prayers. Thank you all for those who have prayed over us,” the organizer wrote.
On Saturday, Yahir’s mother shared on social media that her son had succumbed to his injuries.
“We ask for prayers for peace and healing not only for us but for all the people Yahir touched in his life,” Yahir’s mother wrote in the post. “We have chosen to donate his organs because Yahir was always about helping people and we want to honor his memory.”
After Thursday’s game, Sundown expressed their support for Yahir and his family.
“Yahir Cancino, a Dalhart JV football player, was sent to the hospital during the game and needs prayers, love and support. The community of Sundown lifts up our neighbors from Dalhart at this time,” the social media post stated.
Friday’s game between the two schools was also canceled.

Police believe missing Eliza Fletcher ‘suffered serious injury’
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC/Gray News) - A man has been arrested in connection with the abduction of Eliza Fletcher, WMC reported.
Memphis Police Department arrested Cleotha Abston, 38, and charged him with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence.
“This remains to be an active and ongoing investigation,” police said via Twitter.
Abston would not tell police where to find Fletcher, an affidavit said. Police said the physical evidence and facts of the case lead them to believe Fletcher “suffered serious injury.”
Fletcher, 34, was jogging early Friday morning when a man approached her and forced her into a dark-colored GMC Terrain after a brief struggle. Fletcher was reported missing when she did not return home.
Her cellphone and a pair of sandals were found lying on the street.
According to the affidavit, Abston’s DNA was found on the sandals and investigators discovered surveillance footage of Abston wearing the same sandals a day before the abduction.
Investigators used Abston’s cellphone records to determine that he was near the area Fletcher was abducted Friday morning.
Police interviewed a witness who told them Abston went to his brother’s house Friday around 10:00 a.m. The witness told police Abston was “cleaning the interior of the GMC Terrain with floor cleaner” and he was “behaving oddly.”
His brother told police that he saw Abston acting strange and washing his clothes in the sink of his house.
Saturday morning, a U.S. Marshals task force went to the address and saw the vehicle and Abston standing in the doorway. He attempted to flee but was captured, according to the affidavit.
Fletcher is 5 feet 6 inches tall, with brown hair and green eyes, police said. She weighs 137 pounds.
She is the granddaughter of the late Joseph “Joe” Orgill III, a Memphis hardware businessman and philanthropist. Her family is offering a $50,000 reward through CrimeStoppers for information leading to an arrest in the case.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) - The 7th annual Home Run event was held at Logger Field Sunday as a way to bring awareness to addiction and recovery efforts and remember those lost.
The festivities included a 5k and 10k run plus a chance for kids to run the base path at the stadium. More than sixty volunteers helped out including members of the Viterbo cross country team. Turnout was higher than in 2021 according to officials.
Put on by the Coulee Recovery Center, Executive Director Rita Von Haden says it shows how much loved ones and others care for those struggling with addiction.
"Addiction and recovery is a very controversial conversation," Von Haden said. "There's a lot of stigma around it. We are trying to spread the awareness and make it known that individuals can recover. We need that help of everyone around us to make that happen. We also need to really show compassion and caring to those that are trying to find that path to recovery."
A 2019 study found that more than twice as many people died daily in Wisconsin due to an overdose than car accidents. | https://www.wxow.com/news/home-run-brings-awareness-to-addiction/article_f2ba723c-2c9c-11ed-97e1-774d085397f0.html | 2022-09-05T01:22:35Z | https://www.wxow.com/news/home-run-brings-awareness-to-addiction/article_f2ba723c-2c9c-11ed-97e1-774d085397f0.html | false |
John Wherry will wait until later in the fall to consider getting an updated COVID-19 booster. The University of Pennsylvania immunologist knows it’s too soon after his shot late this summer, especially since he’s not at high risk from the virus.
It’s the kind of calculation many Americans will face as booster shots that target currently circulating omicron strains become available to a population with widely varying risks and levels of immunity.
Here are some things to know:
HOW ARE THE NEW BOOSTERS DIFFERENT?
They’re combination or “bivalent” shots that contain half the original vaccine that’s been used since December 2020 and half protection against today’s dominant omicron versions, BA.4 and BA.5. It’s the first update to COVID-19 vaccines ever cleared by the Food and Drug Administration.
WHO’S ELIGIBLE?
Updated shots made by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech are authorized for anyone 12 and older, and rival Moderna’s version is for adults. They’re to be used as a booster for anyone who’s already had their primary vaccination series — using shots from any U.S.-cleared company — and regardless of how many boosters they’ve already gotten.
IF I JUST GOT ONE OF THE ORIGINAL BOOSTERS, SHOULD I GET THE NEW KIND RIGHT AWAY?
No. The FDA set the minimum wait time at two months. But advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it’s better to wait longer. Some advise at least three months, another said someone who’s not at high risk might wait as long as six months.
“If you wait a little more time, you get a better immunologic response,” said CDC adviser Dr. Sarah Long of Drexel University.
That’s because someone who recently got a booster already has more virus-fighting antibodies in their bloodstream. Antibodies gradually wane over time, and another shot too soon won’t offer much extra benefit, explained Wherry, who wasn’t involved with the government’s decision-making.
WHAT IF I RECENTLY RECOVERED FROM COVID-19?
It’s still important to get vaccinated even if you’ve already been infected — but timing matters here, too.
The CDC has long told people to defer vaccination until they’ve recovered but also that people may consider waiting for three months after recovering to get a vaccination. And several CDC advisers say waiting the three months is important, both for potentially more benefit from the shot and to reduce chances of a rare side effect, heart inflammation, that sometimes affects teen boys and young men.
HOW MUCH BENEFIT WILL THE NEW BOOSTERS OFFER?
That’s not clear, because tests of this exact recipe have only just begun in people.
The FDA cleared the new boosters based in large part on human studies of a similarly tweaked vaccine that’s just been recommended by regulators in Europe. Those tweaked shots target an earlier omicron strain, BA.1, that circulated last winter, and studies found they revved up people’s virus-fighting antibodies.
With that earlier omicron version now replaced by BA.4 and BA.5, the FDA ordered an additional tweak to the shots — and tests in mice showed they spark an equally good immune response.
There’s no way to know if antibodies produced by an omicron-matched booster might last longer than a few months. But a booster also is supposed to strengthen immune system memory, adding to protection against serious illness from the ever-mutating virus.
HOW DO WE KNOW THEY’RE SAFE?
The basic ingredients used in both omicron-targeting updated vaccines are the same. Testing by Pfizer and Moderna of their BA.1-targeted versions proved safe in human studies and CDC’s advisers concluded the additional small recipe change should be no different.
Flu vaccines are updated every year without human trials.
CAN I GET A NEW COVID-19 BOOSTER AND A FLU SHOT AT THE SAME TIME?
Yes, one in each arm.
WHAT IF I WANT TO WAIT?
People at high risk from COVID-19 are encouraged to get the new booster when they’re due. After all, BA.5 still is spreading widely and hospitalization rates in older adults have increased since spring.
Most Americans eligible for an updated booster have gone at least six months since their last shot, according to the CDC — plenty of time that another shot should trigger a good immune response.
But the original formula still offers good protection against severe illness and death, especially after that all-important first booster. So it’s not uncommon for younger and healthier people to time boosters to take advantage of a shot’s temporary jump in protection against even a mild infection, like Wherry did.
A healthy 51-year-old, Wherry said he postponed the second booster recommended for his age for seven months, until late summer — just before an international trip that he knew would increase his risk from unmasked crowds.
With the updated boosters now rolling out, he plans to evaluate in four or five months — when presumably his antibody level starts waning and he’s planning holiday gatherings, whether he’d benefit from another shot. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national-news/should-you-get-a-new-covid-booster-if-so-when/ | 2022-09-05T01:31:32Z | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national-news/should-you-get-a-new-covid-booster-if-so-when/ | true |
REGINA, Saskatchewan (AP) — A series of stabbings in two communities in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan left 10 people dead and 15 wounded, authorities said Sunday. Police are looking for two suspects.
The stabbings took place in multiple locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, police said.
Rhonda Blackmore, the Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects but others appear to have been attacked at random. She couldn’t provide a motive.
“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today,” Blackmore said.
She said there are 13 crime scenes where either deceased or injured people were found. She urged the suspects to turn themselves in.
Police said the last information they had from the public was that the suspects were sighted in Saskatchewan’s capital of Regina around lunchtime. There have been so sightings since.
“If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location. DO NOT APPROACH suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch hikers. Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. Do not disclose police locations,” the RCMP said in a message on Twitter.
Weldon resident Diane Shier said she was in her garden Sunday morning when she noticed emergency crews a couple of blocks away.
Shier said her neighbor, a man who lived with his grandson, was killed. She did not want to identify the victim out of respect for his family.
“I am very upset because I lost a good neighbor,” she said.
The search for suspects was carried out as fans descended in Regina for a sold out annual Labor Day game between the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Regina Police Service said in a news release that with the help of Mounties, it was working on several fronts to locate and arrest the suspects and had “deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game at Mosaic Stadium.″
The alert first issued by Melfort, Saskatchewan RCMP about 7 a.m. was extended hours later to cover Manitoba and Alberta, as the two suspects remained at large.
Damien Sanderson, 31, was described as five feet seven inches tall and 155 pounds, and Myles Sanderson, 30, as six-foot-one and 200 pounds. Both have black hair and brown eyes and may be driving a black Nissan Rogue.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said multiple patients were being treated at several sites.
“A call for additional staff was issued to respond to the influx of casualties,” authority spokeswoman Anne Linemann said in an email.
Mark Oddan, a spokesman with STARS Air Ambulance, said two helicopters were dispatched from Saskatoon and another from Regina.
He said two carried patients to the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, while the third carried a patient to Royal University from a hospital in Melfort, a short distance southeast of Weldon.
Oddan said due to privacy laws, he could not disclose information about their ages, genders or conditions. | https://www.pahomepage.com/uncategorized/canadian-police-10-dead-15-injured-from-stabbings/ | 2022-09-05T01:31:45Z | https://www.pahomepage.com/uncategorized/canadian-police-10-dead-15-injured-from-stabbings/ | true |

Two people were killed over the weekend as the fast-moving Mill Fire ripped through the small community of Weed, destroying homes and forcing many to evacuate in northern California’s Siskiyou County.
Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue called for a moment of silence Sunday afternoon as he informed residents of the fatalities during a community meeting at an elementary school north of Weed.
“I have the job of sharing some sad news. We have lost two people to this fire, there’s no easy way of putting that,” LaRue said, according to a video his office shared. “It’s one thing to come up here and tell you things but to look at your faces almost brings me to tears.”
Further information about the victims, including their names, gender and ages, was not immediately released. Three additional civilians have also been injured in the fire, according to Cal Fire.
The Mill Fire and the nearby Mountain Fire ignited Friday and have collectively torched more than 12,600 acres in the mountains surrounding Weed and other rural communities close to the Oregon border. Cal Fire is investigating what caused both incidents.
The Mill Fire has destroyed at least 50 homes and other structures, and up to 132 structures total were either damaged or destroyed, though inspection teams were continuing to asses the toll of the destruction.
Fire crews were actively fighting to defend homes and other structures from the flames throughout the weekend, as excessively hot and dry conditions stoked the fires. Around 1,300 people remained evacuated from both fires, though evacuation orders had been lifted for thousands of other residents.
As its name suggests, the Mill Fire started at or near a large lumber warehouse, where firefighters responded to a structure fire Friday afternoon. The warehouse, owned by Roseburg Forest Products, was quickly destroyed by the inferno.
Kent Cunningham, a Cal Fire captain who oversaw the initial response to the fire, said fire crews responded after they saw a huge plume of black smoke coming from the area.
The flames rapidly spread to the tiny town of Weed, a community at the base of Mt. Shasta where about a third of its 3,000 residents lives below the federal poverty level.
Online photos and videos from Weed show entire neighborhoods were leveled as the fire ripped through. The only remnants on some streets were the burnt-out shells of trucks and the foundations where homes once stood.
As of Sunday afternoon, the Mill Fire had burnt about 6.6 miles and was 25% contained, according to Cal Fire. The Mountain Fire, burning in a more rural area about 15 miles northwest, was 10% contained.
Crews battled the fires as much of California was scorched by a Labor Day weekend heatwave, which was expected to intensify on Monday.
Troy Velin, a fire behavior analyst for Cal Fire, said conditions that exacerbated the fires are expected to worsen in coming days as temperatures soar and the amount of humidity in the air drops to rare lows. He said crews are hopeful they can contain the Mill Fire to its current perimeter, but the more rugged train around the Mountain Fire will make battling that fire more difficult.
“We’re in a pattern now where it’s going to continue to get hotter and drier for the next several days,” he told residents at the community meeting. “All of those fuels out there have been baking in the sun.”

Ownership needs to start passing the hat. The “Bring Back Carlos Rodón” fund will require serious dollars.
Rodón is pitching himself toward a major payday in free agency, and the San Francisco Giants don’t exactly have enough rotation depth to let him walk, as they let Kevin Gausman walk last winter.
The question is, will Rodón want to return? In Sunday’s 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, which ended on Wilmer Flores’ walk-off home run and completed a series sweep, Rodón witnessed his team go through extreme highs and extreme lows, a microcosm of their 2022 season.
“That was a fun game,” Rodón said. “The Phillies didn’t want to get swept. They’re in the (playoff) hunt.”
Rodón struck out 10 batters in six scoreless innings. The three biggest K’s came during his final inning on the mound, creating high-voltage electricity among 41,189 along at Oracle Park.
But two innings later, John Brebbia served up a three-run homer to J.T. Realmuto, ending Rodón’s hopes for his 13th win. It was a bummer for Rodón, his teammates and the crowd, but Flores re-energized everyone in the ninth with his homer off David Robertson.
That was after the Giants had loaded the bases in the eighth without scoring to leave the score 3-3. Bryce Johnson walked to open the ninth before Luis Gonzalez and Mike Yastrzemski struck out. Flores lined the second pitch he saw down the line in left for his fifth career walk-off homer and first as a Giant.
Rodón didn’t get the win, but the Giants did, and his sixth inning was a big reason. He yielded a double and single to his first two batters in the sixth, Rhys Hoskins and Alec Bohm, and then struck out the mighty Bryce Harper. When Realmuto walked to load the bases, Rodón’s pitch count was up to 94.
The Giants led 3-0 at the time, and it was his final inning regardless of whether they’d keep the lead or give it up. Rodón was in no mood to give it up with Jean Segura and Bryson Stott batting next. With an 89.9 mph biting slider that sunk below the zone, Rodón struck out Segura to achieve his first career 200-K season. On his 106th pitch, he got Stott to swing through a 98 mph high heater to end an eight-pitch at-bat and the inning.
Rodón called the strikeout milestone a “cool feat” and said he felt the crowd emotion building with each scoreless inning.
“Some good energy. I needed that,” Rodón said. “We lost seven straight before we saw the Phillies here, and it’s nice to still have fans in the stands. We have very faithful fans. Giants fans are probably the best fans in this game. So selling out when we’re down eight games now, it was fun. I’m grateful for them.”
Rodón often exhibits his emotions on the field. He certainly let it all out as he elatedly paraded off the mound, vehemently pumping his arms and expressing his thoughts.
“I was a little fired up,” Rodón said.
Fans stood and cheered. They appreciated Rodón’s talents and effort, but they might as well have been cheering for ownership to ante up.
Asked if Sunday’s environment would be a factor in his free-agency decision-making, Rodón said, “You definitely want to play in front of a full stadium, with fans that care, as Giants’ fans do, but that’s a decision for later on. There’s, what, 30 games left? We have to finish out these 30 games and see what we could do.”
If the Giants don’t re-sign Rodón, whose ERA dropped to 2.92, it would become the second straight year they sever ties with a front-of-the-rotation starter. Last winter, Gausman left San Francisco and signed a five-year, $110 million deal with Toronto.
According to Rodón’s two-year, $44 million contract, he can opt out after this season because he reached 110 innings. Based on how he has pitched in 2022, Gausman money is in reach.
Johnson’s big day: Johnson, the Giants’ sixth-round draft pick in 2017, not only drew the ninth-inning walk that preceded Flores’ game-ending homer, he also collected his first major-league hit during a three-run rally in the fourth. Johnson’s opposite-field single off Ranger Suarez followed RBI singles by LaMonte Wade Jr. and Austin Wynns. Johnson had been 0-for-6 with five strikeouts.
While Johnson said he’ll remember the hit more than the walk, he noted, “I’ll tell you what, there was nothing better than being in the celebration at home plate. The hit is a different feeling, but to be part of a walkoff was actually really cool. ... I couldn’t write it any better.”
Johnson plans to give the ball from his first hit to his parents, and said the strikeouts were a result of “being a little too amped up. With the base hit, I went up there and just relaxed, kind of took everything in slow motion, and I think that paid off. That’s what I did with my walk, too.”
Spoiler alert: As the season winds down, non-contenders can gain consolation by knocking contenders out of the race or at least make the playoffs more difficult to reach.
In that regard, the Giants acted as spoilers over the weekend to the visiting Phillies, but it’s not as if it’s part of the pregame dialogue.
“We are all very aware of where each team is in the standings,” manager Gabe Kapler said, “but we try to play our baseball game, and we’ve said all along, if we play bad baseball, it doesn’t matter who we’re playing, we’re going to lose and if we play really good baseball, the chances are we’re going to give ourselves an opportunity to win the game.”

Liz Truss is strongly considering freezing energy bills in a bid to ease the burden on households this winter, according to reports.
The Foreign Secretary is widely tipped to win the Conservative leadership race on Monday, before being handed the keys to Number 10 the following day. Having made tax cuts a key priority during her leadership campaign, Ms Truss had remained tight-lipped into Sunday about what kind of support package she might introduce as the UK faces the prospect of soaring energy bills and a worsening cost-of-living crisis.
But reports in The Daily Telegraph and The Times on Monday suggest Ms Truss will likely introduce an energy bills freeze in some form. The Times reports the package could be on the scale of the furlough scheme introduced by then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak when the Covid-19 pandemic struck, while the Telegraph suggests the specifics of such a policy are still being debated.
Ms Truss had used an interview on the BBC on Sunday to insist that she would within a week reveal fresh supports for struggling households. But she repeatedly declined to spell out what those support measures might look like.
“Before you have been elected as prime minister, you don’t have all the wherewithal to get the things done,” she told the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme. “This is why it will take a week to sort out the precise plans and make sure we are able to announce them.
"That is why I cannot go into details at this stage. It would be wrong.”
It comes as Kwasi Kwarteng, widely tipped to be the next Chancellor if Ms Truss is successful on Monday, used an article in the Financial Times to stress that the next Government will behave in a “fiscally responsible” way. Mr Kwarteng, the current Business and Energy Secretary, appeared to try to address concerns about Ms Truss’ tax-cutting strategy, which rival Mr Sunak warned would only worsen the grim economic situation facing the UK.
Mr Kwarteng said that there would be “some fiscal loosening” in a Truss administration to help households through the winter, stressing that it was the “right thing” to do. He said that the UK does not need “excessive fiscal tightening”, pointing to the UK’s ratio of debt to GDP compared to other major economies.
“The OECD has said that the current government policy is contractionary, which will only send us into a negative spiral when the aim should be to do the opposite. But I want to provide reassurance that this will be done in a fiscally responsible way. Liz is committed to a lean state and, as the immediate shock subsides, we will work to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio over time,” he wrote.
Mr Kwarteng, a close political and ideological ally of Ms Truss, offered a vision for how he would operate the Treasury as he said that the next Government would be “decisive and do things differently”.
“That means focusing on how we unlock investment and growth, rather than how we tax and spend. It is about growing the size of the UK economy, not burying our heads in a redistributive fight over what is left,” he wrote.
His comments directly echo those of Ms Truss on Sunday, as she insisted that her plan to reverse the rise in national insurance is “fair” despite it directly benefitting higher earners. She told the BBC “growing the economy benefits everybody” and it is “wrong” to look at everything through the “lens of redistribution”.
Late on Sunday, Labour sought to accuse the Tories of stealing their ideas. Nick Thomas-Symonds, the party’s shadow international trade secretary, told the BBC’s Westminster Hour that it was once again another example of his party “making the political weather”.
The announcement of the next Conservative leader is scheduled for early afternoon at an event in central London on the same day Parliament returns. Both candidates have spent the last several weeks traversing the country and taking part in hustings in a bid to win over the 200,000 party members charged with choosing the next Conservative leader.
The winner will emerge as the third Conservative prime minister since 2016, when David Cameron quit after losing the Brexit vote. They will oversee a party that remains bitterly divided about the legacy of Boris Johnson and its future direction.
Voting closed last Friday and the contest will draw to an end when the formal announcement is made by Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee of Conservative backbench MPs. The new leader is expected to make a speech following the announcement, before spending the rest of the day finalising their choices for Cabinet and wider ministerial roles and writing their first prime ministerial speech.
Over the weekend, Mr Johnson urged his party to unite behind the contest’s winner. “This is the moment for every Conservative to come together – and back that new leader wholeheartedly,” he wrote in the Sunday Express.
Once the result of the contest is known, Mr Johnson and his successor will go to Balmoral, rather than Buckingham Palace, for the appointment of the new prime minister on Tuesday, in a break from tradition.
Described by allies as likely to be a “very sad” occasion for the outgoing prime minister, the Queen will receive Mr Johnson on Tuesday at her Aberdeenshire home, where he will formally tender his resignation. This will be followed by an audience with the new Tory leader, where she or he will be invited to form a government.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday beatified one of his predecessors, John Paul I, a briefly serving pontiff who distinguished himself with his humility and cheerfulness, and whose abrupt death in his bedroom in 1978 shocked the world and fueled suspicions for years about his demise.
The ceremony in St. Peter’s Square constituted the last formal step in the Vatican before possible sainthood for Albino Luciani, an Italian who died 33 days after being elected pontiff.
“With a smile, Pope John Paul managed to communicate the goodness of the Lord,” Francis said in his homily.
“How beautiful is a church with a happy, serene and smiling face, that never closes doors, never hardens hearts, never complains or harbors resentments, isn’t angry, does not look dour or suffer nostalgia for the past,” the pontiff said.
Francis then encouraged people to pray to the newly beatified churchman to “obtain for us the smile of the soul.”
Last year, Francis approved a miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul I — that of the recovery of a critically ill 11-year-old girl in 2011 in Buenos Aires, the hometown of the current pope. Now a young woman, Candela Giarda told a Vatican press conference last week via a video message that she had wanted to attend the ceremony but couldn’t because she recently broke a foot working out in a gym.
For Luciani to be declared a saint, another miracle, following his beatification, must be attributed to his intercession and certified by the Vatican.
Seated under a canopy outside St. Peter’s Basilica, Francis led the ceremony, which was punctuated by booms of thunder, flashes of lightning and pouring rain, prompting cardinals, bishops, the choir and thousands of rank-and-file faithful in the square to open umbrellas.
But by the end of the ceremony, the sun was shining, and Francis, waving while seated in a popemobile, toured the square, waving to the crowd, some of whom shouted, “Long live the pope!”
When elected pontiff on Aug. 26, 1978, Luciani, 65, had been serving as patriarch of Venice, one of the church’s more prestigious positions. In that role as well as that previously as a bishop in northeastern Italy, Luciani sounded warnings against corruption, including in banking circles.
In his short-lived papacy, which concluded with the discovery of his body in his bedroom in the Apostolic Palace, John Paul I immediately established a simple, direct way of communicating with the faithful in the addresses he gave, a style change considered revolutionary considering the stuffiness of the environment of church hierarchy.
Those who have campaigned for him to someday be made a saint have stressed his deep spirituality and his tireless emphasis on key Christian virtues — faith, hope and charity.
John Paul “lived without compromise,” Francis said, praising him as mild-tempered, humble pastor.
Luciani overcame “the temptation to his own self at the center and to seek one’s glory,” the pontiff said.
The Vatican said John Paul died of a heart attack, but no autopsy was done. It gave conflicting versions of the circumstances of how his body was discovered. First it said that a priest who served as his secretary found him, but later acknowledged John Paul was found dead by one of the nuns who brought him his customary morning coffee.
With a huge financial scandal developing at the time in Italy involving figures who had links to the Vatican’s bank, suspicions quickly took root in the secular media that perhaps Luciani was poisoned because he intended to root out wrongdoing.
Books speculating on the circumstances surrounding his death sold millions of copies.

SEATTLE (AP) — Before she tried encapsulating one of the more memorable WNBA playoff games, Becky Hammon let out a little chuckle.
“That was a hell of a game. I don’t know if I’ve ever been a part of something like that,” the Las Vegas Aces coach said.
Hammon could speak with a mix of excitement and relief after the Aces pulled out a wild 110-98 overtime in over the Seattle Storm in Game 3 of their WNBA playoff semifinal series on Sunday.
There were big shots and buzzer beaters. Spectacular offensive performances, disputable missed calls and one glaring blown assignment by the home team that added up to the Aces being one win away from advancing to the WNBA Finals and ending Sue Bird’s career.
Jackie Young sent the game to overtime with a buzzer-beating basket, and then Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum hit big shots in the extra session as Las Vegas took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
“We live for these moments. You work hard for these bright light games and just staying in it and understanding that we’ve worked hard to get to where we are,” said Aces’ star A’ja Wilson, who finished with a playoff career-high 34 points.
The end of regulation will rightfully get most of the attention. But Las Vegas was dominant in overtime, outscoring Seattle 18-6.
Gray had been quiet in the fourth quarter but scored eight of her 29 points in overtime including a pair of 3s that silenced Storm fans that had been roaring only a few minutes earlier when it appeared Seattle was on the cusp of winning the pivotal game.
“There was so many back and forth (moments), ‘Oh they’re gonna win it, oh no they’re gonna win it, oh we’re going to overtime.’ … That’s what playoff basketball is all about. It felt good,” Gray said.
From the Seattle perspective, it never should have reached overtime.
Seattle led 92-90 with 0.8 seconds left in regulation after Bird hit a corner 3. It was a storybook moment to be another highlight in Bird’s final season before retiring.
But on the ensuing inbounds play, Young got free from Ezi Magbegor and scored in the lane ahead of the buzzer to send the game to overtime.
“It was really frustrating. We had the game and we gave it to them and that’s really it,” Seattle’s Breanna Stewart said.
Gray added 12 assists and Riquna Williams added a key 14 points off the bench. Plum had 16 points, including an important three-point play to start overtime for the Aces.
Stewart led Seattle with 20 points, while Bird and Jewell Loyd both had 17. Tina Charles added 16 points but missed a pair of free throw with 7.2 seconds remining in regulation that could have given Seattle a three-point lead.
The second half was filled with wild emotional swings and a conclusion to regulation that featured one big play after another. The final 11 seconds featured 10 points scored.
“We were up four with not a lot of time left and that’s really, to me, where we lost the game,” Bird said.
Seattle led 89-85 when Williams hit a 3 with 8.9 seconds left for Las Vegas. Charles missed her two foul shots and Wilson put Las Vegas ahead 90-89 with a spinning drive in the lane with 2.2 seconds left, although it appeared she got away with taking extra steps.
Then it was Seattle’s turn to have an apparent winner on Bird’s 3 off an inbound pass when she came open in the corner in front of the Seattle bench. Bird even left her hand in the air as Seattle’s home building roared.
But all that was muted moments later when Young cut to the basket and scored ahead of the buzzer.
“It’s on me. … What happened end of game all of our execution things that falls on me,” Seattle coach Noelle Quinn said.
The Aces victory also moved Bird one step closer to retirement. Bird has announced this will be her final season, and Las Vegas can send her off into retirement as one of the greatest players in league history with a victory in Game 4.
TIP-INS
Seattle lost a home playoff game with Stewart healthy for the first time. The Storm were 10-0 previously. … In the 14 previous series tied at 1-1, the winner of Game 3 has gone on to win the series eight times. … The Aces have reached the WNBA Finals twice in franchise history, once in 2020 in the WNBA bubble and in 2008 when the team was in San Antonio.
UP NEXT
Game 4 will be Tuesday night with Las Vegas looking to advance to the finals.

Millennial Money: Don’t let money ‘rules’ get you down
Put 20% down when buying a home. Don’t spend more than 30% of your income on housing costs. Keep child care expenses below 10% of your annual household income.
These money rules of thumb can be useful guardrails, helping you allocate spending and determine what’s affordable. They can also be incredibly defeating when they feel unattainable.
If money “rules” feel completely detached from your reality, know this: The average American doesn’t come close to hitting many of the popular money rules. And that’s OK.
“If you treat ‘rules of thumb’ as rigid rules, you’re setting yourself up for frustration,” says William O’Donnell, president of Heartland Financial Solutions in Bellevue, Nebraska. “The thing people tend to forget is that guidelines are flexible because everybody’s situation is different.”
What’s important is having a handle on your expenses and building a spending plan that works for you, not some ideal. Here’s how to view money rules of thumb in the context of your own personal financial reality.
THE RULE: Divide your budget into needs (50%), wants (30%) and savings (20%).
THE REALITY: Housing alone can easily eat up half of your take-home pay.
The 50/30/20 rule is a popular budgeting framework that divvies up after-tax income into three buckets: needs, wants and savings. But must-pay expenses can bust that budget before you even get started.
In 2020, for example, 23% of American renters spent half or more of their income on rent alone, according to the most recent data available from the U.S. Census Bureau. Add in other needs – utilities, groceries, transportation, insurance, child care and debt payments – and there’s little, if anything, left over for wants or savings.
Don’t scrap your budget if the buckets don’t work. Instead, embrace the principle and adjust the framework to fit your current financial situation with an eye toward where you’d like to be long-term. Sure, it may be more of an 85/10/5 budget now, but over time you can move closer to your ideal balance.
Simply tracking all of your expenses is a good start; you’ll see where every dollar is going and can make more informed decisions about your spending.
THE RULE: Don’t spend more than 7% of your household income on child care.
THE REALITY: Most families spend 20% or more on child care.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services considers spending more than 7% of your annual household income on child care unaffordable.
But a whopping 51% of parents spend more than 20%, according to a 2022 survey from Care.com, which interviewed more than 3,000 parents paying for child care.
There are few things you can do to dramatically cut child care costs, but discounts and scholarships may be available, depending on your state and child care situation.
A dependent care flexible spending account is another option. If your employer offers it, you can contribute up to $5,000 pretax and use the funds to help pay for a nanny, day care, after-school care and summer camp registration, among other things.
THE RULE: You need a 20% down payment to buy a house.
THE REALITY: First-time homebuyers typically put around 7% down, according to data from the National Association of Realtors.
The 20% down payment “rule” is an outdated one, says Jessica Lautz, vice president of demographics and behavioral insights at the National Association of Realtors.
Yes, lenders once required such a substantial down payment, but they now rely on private mortgage insurance, or PMI, to mitigate their own risk, passing on the cost to borrowers.
Homebuyers who put less than 20% down pay, on average, 0.58% to 1.86% of the original loan amount per year for PMI, according to Genworth Mortgage Insurance, Ginnie Mae and the Urban Institute. That can add hundreds of dollars to your monthly mortgage payment.
Putting in more money upfront lowers the monthly and overall cost of your mortgage, but emptying your savings to buy a home can leave you on shaky financial ground.
Roughly 3 in 10 homeowners (29%) no longer felt financially secure after purchasing their current home, according to a 2020 survey conducted by The Harris Poll for NerdWallet. That feeling was most acute among younger homeowners, with 42% of millennial and 54% of Generation Z homeowners feeling financially insecure after purchasing their home, compared with 31% of Generation X and 16% of baby boomer homeowners.
A mortgage broker can run the numbers to help you figure out the sweet spot for your down payment, but you also need to ask yourself a few questions, Lautz says.
“Do you need money in savings to remodel once you are in the home, or backup savings for other expenses?” she says. “Would a lower monthly mortgage payment be easier for other monthly expenses such as student debt or child care?”

UNION, N.J. (AP) — Gustavo Arnal, the chief financial officer of retail chain Bed Bath & Beyond, has died, the company confirmed on Sunday.
The company said Arnal died on Friday. According to the New York City Police Department, police found the 52-year-old unconscious with injuries showing he fell from a building in Manhattan. He was pronounced dead in the scene and the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause of death. Police said an investigation was ongoing.
Arnal joined the company in May 2020 after previous stints at Avon, Walgreens Boots Alliance and Procter & Gamble.
“Gustavo will be remembered by all he worked with for his leadership, talent and stewardship of our Company. I am proud to have been his colleague, and he will be truly missed by all of us at Bed Bath & Beyond and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him,” said Harriet Edelman, independent chair of the company’s board, in Sunday’s statement.
Bed Bath & Beyond has faced turbulence recently: Its shares made a monstrous run from $5.77 to $23.08 over a little more than two weeks in August, in trading reminiscent of last year’s meme-stock craze, when out-of-favor companies suddenly became darlings of smaller-pocketed investors. On Wednesday, the company said it would shutter stores and lay off workers in a bid to turn around its beleaguered business.
The home goods retailer based in Union, New Jersey, said it will close about 150 of its namesake stores and slash its workforce by 20%. | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-bed-bath-beyond-chief-financial-officer-gustavo-arnal-dies/ | 2022-09-05T02:26:26Z | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-bed-bath-beyond-chief-financial-officer-gustavo-arnal-dies/ | false |
REGINA, Saskatchewan (AP) — A series of stabbings at an Indigenous community and at another town nearby in Saskatchewan left 10 people dead and 15 wounded, Canadian police said Sunday as they searched across the expansive province for two suspects.
The stabbings took place in multiple locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, police said.
Rhonda Blackmore, the Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects but others appear to have been attacked at random. She couldn’t provide a motive.
“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today,” Blackmore said, adding there were 13 crime scenes where either deceased or injured people were found.
It is among the deadliest mass killings in Canadian history. The deadliest gun rampage in Canadian history happened in 2020 when a man disguised as a police officer shot people in their homes and set fires across the province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. A man used a van to kill 10 pedestrians in Toronto in 2019. But mass killings are less common in Canada than in the United States.
Blackmore said police began receiving reports before 6 a.m. of stabbings on the First Nation community. More reports of attacks quickly followed and by midday police issued a warning that a vehicle reportedly carrying the two suspects had been spotted in Regina, about 335 kilometers (208 miles) south of the communities where the stabbings occurred.
Police said the last information they had from the public was that the suspects were sighted there around lunchtime. There have been no sightings since.
“If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location. DO NOT APPROACH suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch hikers. Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. Do not disclose police locations,” the RCMP said in a message on Twitter.
Doreen Lees, an 89-year grandmother from Weldon, said she and her daughter thought they saw one of the suspects when a car came barreling down her street early in the morning as her daughter was having coffee on her deck. Lees said a man approached them and said he was hurt and needed help.
But Lees said the man took off and ran after her daughter said she would call for help.
“He wouldn’t show his face. He had a big jacket over his face. We asked his name and he kind of mumbled his name twice and we still couldn’t get it,” she said. “He said his face was injured so bad he couldn’t show it.”
She said the man was by himself and “kind of a little wobbly.”
“I followed him a little ways to see if he was going to be OK. My daughter said ‘Don’t follow him, get back here.’”
Weldon residents have identified one of the victims as Wes Petterson. Ruby Works said the 77-year-old widower was like an uncle to her.
“I collapsed and hit the ground. I’ve known him since I was just a little girl,″ she said, describing the moment she heard the news. She said he loved his cats, was proud of his homemade Saskatoon berry jam and frequently helped out his neighbors.
“He didn’t do anything. He didn’t deserve this. He was a good, kind hearted man,″ said Works.
She said the event has shaken a community where the sounds of sirens are rarely heard.
“No one in this town is ever going to sleep again. They’re going to be terrified to open their door,″ she said
Weldon resident Robert Rush also described the victim as a gentle, widowed man in his 70s.
“He wouldn’t hurt a fly,″ he said.
Rush said Petterson’s adult grandson was in the basement at the time and phoned police.
At the Weldon Christian Tabernacle Church the congregation began their regular Sunday service by saying a special prayer to the victims and their families.
At the James Smith Cree Nation, a convenience store that also serves as a gas station became a gathering place for community members, who greeted each other with tears and hugs.
A sign on the door said: “Due to safety concerns with our community we will remain closed until further notice.”
The elected leaders of the three communities that make up the James Smith Cree Nation, including the Chakastaypasin Band and the Peter Chapman Band, declared a local state of emergency on Sunday.
Chakastaypasin Chief Calvin Sanderson said he’d left his phone off on Sunday morning and only learned of the tragic events when community members came to his door to check on him.
Everyone’s been affected, he said.
“They were our relatives, friends. Mostly we’re all related here, so it’s pretty hard,″ Sanderson said. “It’s pretty horrific.”
The emergency declaration, which was released by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, said two emergency operations centers have been set up.
The search for suspects was carried out as fans descended on Regina for a sold out annual Labor Day game between the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Regina Police Service said in a news release that with the help of Mounties, it was working on several fronts to locate and arrest the suspects and had “deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game at Mosaic Stadium.″
The alert first issued by Melfort, Saskatchewan RCMP about 7 a.m. was extended hours later to cover Manitoba and Alberta, as the two suspects remained at large.
Damien Sanderson, 31, was described as five feet seven inches tall and 155 pounds, and Myles Sanderson, 30, as six-foot-one and 200 pounds. They may be driving a black vehicle.
Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers issued a wanted list last May that included Myles, writing that he was “unlawfully at large.”
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said multiple patients were being treated at several sites.
“A call for additional staff was issued to respond to the influx of casualties,” authority spokeswoman Anne Linemann said in an email.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted that the “attacks in Saskatchewan today are horrific and heartbreaking.”
“I’m thinking of those who have lost a loved one and of those who were injured,” Trudeau wrote.
Deadly mass stabbings are more rare than mass shootings but have happened around the world. In 2014, 29 people were slashed and stabbed to death at a train station in China’s southwestern city of Kunming. In 2016, a mass stabbing at a facility for the mentally disabled in Sagamihara, Japan, left 19 people dead. A year later, three men killed eight people in a vehicle and stabbing attack at London Bridge.

There will be a new U.S. Open champion and a new world No. 1 — all thanks to Nick Kyrgios.
The fiery Australian played brilliant tennis and kept his antics more or less under control on the biggest stage in tennis as he defeated world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, 7-6(11), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, to advance his first U.S. Open quarterfinal. No. 23 Kyrgios improved to 4-1 against Medvedev, whom he also beat last month in Montreal.
“If he plays like this, you’re going to see Kyrgios in the final,” John McEnroe said on ESPN.
The victory snapped a 10-match winning streak at the Open for Medvedev, who a year ago ended Novak Djokovic’s bid to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win the calendar Grand Slam.
Medvedev will fall from the No. 1 ranking and No. 3-ranked Rafael Nadal remains in pole position to recapture world No. 1 for the first time since Feb. 2, 2020. With Medvedev’s loss, the last man to defend a Grand Slam title not named Nadal, Djokovic or Roger Federer was Gustavo Kuerten in 2001.
Kyrgios, meantime, is following up his run to the Wimbledon final where he lost to Djokovic in four sets by making a run in New York. After long being one of the most talented yet under-performing players on the men’s tour — he had lost four times in the third round in New York and had never won a match in Arthur Ashe Stadium until last week — he is now combining mental and physical toughness with his vast reservoir of talent.
“It was an amazing match,” Kyrgios told Patrick McEnroe on court. “Obviously, Daniil is defending champion, a lot of pressure on his shoulders, but I played really well. I’ve been playing amazing the last couple months.
“But what a place to do it, a packed house in New York, I’m extremely blessed.”
Asked when it finally clicked in his head that he wanted to take a more serious approach to tennis, Kyrgios said, “I’m still trying to figure it out, honestly. I’m still trying to work hard every day, trying to make every practice session count. Getting to sleep, before I would probably be out every night.
“I’ve got a great girlfriend, she helps me, she...you know. And my team, it’s all my team and I’m just really happy and hopefully I can keep it going.”
He will next face Russian No. 27 seed Karen Khachanov, who prevailed in five sets over No. 12 Pablo Carreno Busta. Kyrgios and Khachanov are tied 1-all in their career.
Kyrgios took a very high level first set in a tiebreak despite cursing at his box while directing them to tell him where to serve, smashing his racket to the ground and engaging with the umpire about the serve clock.
Early in the second set, Kyrgios smacked a ball against the back of the court, narrowly missing hitting a fan in the first row, which surely would’ve ended in ejection from the tournament.
He took a two-sets-to-one lead with a forehand drop shot that Medvedev raced down only to hit it into the net.
He then seized a break for 2-1 in the fourth when Medvedev smacked a two-handed backhand into the net.
“I’m just glad I’m finally able to show New York my talent, honestly,” Kyrgios said. “I haven’t had many good trips here, I haven’t played great tennis. I’m really glad I’m finally able to show you guys the work and the dedication, finally, it took me 27 years.”
With Medvedev serving at 1-3, 30-40, Kyrgios asked for the crowd’s support by holding out his right palm to the fans. He then crushed a crosscourt forehand that Medvedev deposited into the net for a double-break.
Medvedev, who at times appeared frustrated with the noise coming from the Kyrgios box, then slumped his shoulders and smacked a ball against the back of the court in frustration.
Kyrgios closed the match out with an ace and then shook Medvedev’s hand at the net.
“I want to go all the way,” he said, “and hopefully it’s possible.” | https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamzagoria/2022/09/04/nick-kyrgios-upsets-defending-us-open-champion-medvedev-knocks-him-off-no-1-ranking/ | 2022-09-05T02:49:39Z | https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamzagoria/2022/09/04/nick-kyrgios-upsets-defending-us-open-champion-medvedev-knocks-him-off-no-1-ranking/ | true |

XJTLU officially opens the doors of its Taicang campus, the new home of XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang)
SUZHOU, China, Sept. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the new academic year approaches, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University unveils its award-winning Taicang campus to students, staff and the public on 5 September. XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang), established in 2019, will be moving to the new campus.
The campus was made possible with help and investment from the local Taicang government and will eventually be able to support up to 10,000 students and 1,200 staff members.
It was designed with entrepreneurialism, industry, interdisciplinarity and the community in mind. The main building has a circular structure linking its magnet-shaped schools, connecting them physically and symbolically.
Professor Stuart Perrin, Associate Principal of XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang), says: "I'm excited about how the campus will bring together staff and students from different schools. Every space is a potential learning space."
Professor Youmin Xi, Executive President of XJTLU, says: "This opening marks the College becoming a bigger part of the Taicang community and the industry-community-university ecosystem."
In addition to XJTLU's partnership with the local government, the College features industry partners for each school, giving students a unique learning environment and experience.
ECOVACS, a robotic vacuum cleaner company, is one of the College's partners. Liang Zhao, Dean of Research Institute of Innovation Ecology at ECOVACS, believes the industry-supported labs will "provide fertile soil for developing cutting-edge scientific research projects and innovation technologies."
Xiang Ao, manager of Xingwen Zhijiao Company, a branch of partner Haier Group, says the College combines a love of learning with hands-on experience. "When our corporate engineers go to the College to teach, they find that the students actively ask questions, and our engineers actively help them solve their queries."
Additionally, the College arranges site visits and internships for students.
Tianhe Sun, Year Three student in BEng Data Science and Big Data Technology with Contemporary Entrepreneurialism, says: "I secured my second internship thanks to Taicang's Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Hub courses. Learning here is different – we can get real-world experience."
Malaysian student Adrian Heng Hwa Onn, a Year Three student in the same programme, says: "When I first came to XJTLU's SIP campus, I was impressed with the gorgeous architecture and well-equipped facilities. But I'm more excited about studying in Taicang. I mean, who doesn't want to be a part of something new?"

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A person has died after a vehicle crash in Albuquerque. Police said the crash happened Sunday evening.
A two-vehicle crash occurred near Virginia Street and Constitution Avenue, N.E., around 7 p.m., according to police. The release from Albuquerque Police Department (APD) said a vehicle crashed into a building.
The woman who was driving the vehicle died in the crash, officials said. The condition of the second vehicle’s driver is not known at this time. APD’s Motor Unit and DWI Unit are investigating the crash. | https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/1-dead-after-vehicle-crashes-into-albuquerque-building/ | 2022-09-05T03:26:33Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/1-dead-after-vehicle-crashes-into-albuquerque-building/ | true |
CLEVELAND — Perhaps those who like to say, ‘there are no bad days at the ballpark,” never spent 15 hours there, waiting out an endless rain delay that everyone was saw coming, dealing with the strike zone of Angel Hernandez where a ball can be a strike and strike isn’t always a strike, playing on a surface that’s more swamp than sod and all the while knowing there was four-hour flight home awaiting followed by a midafternoon game on Labor Day.
Oh, and let’s sprinkle in two extra innings of baseball for good measure.
If you are going to endure all of that, then losing isn’t an option or even consideration, no matter how easy it might have been to pack it in call it a day.
The 2022 Mariners simply don’t play that way.
So after seemingly endless rain delay of 4 hours and 33 minutes and seeing their normally lockdown bullpen lose a two-run lead while using every available arm, the Mariners scored three runs in the top of the 11th and former starter Chris Flexen closed out a 6-3 victory.
The final out of the game came at 11:01 p.m.
With the win, the Mariners swept the three-game series with Cleveland and the six-game road trip and has now seven games in a row.
With the score tied at 3-3, J.P. Crawford singled home Eugenio Suarez for the go-ahed run and Cal Raleigh crushed a two-run homer for insurance.
The game, which had a scheduled 2:40 p.m. start time, which is 90 minutes later than most Sunday afternoon start times because of an air show that was canceled due to the weather, started officially with Cleveland starter Cal Quantrill firing a first-pitch strike to Julio Rodriguez through a warm mist filling the humid air at 2:41 p.m.
Rodriguez singled, advanced to second on third baseman Tyler Freeman’s throwing error and scored on Ty France’s one-out double to left center.
Cleveland answered against Seattle starter George Kirby in the bottom of the inning. Jose Ramirez, who had been held hitless in this series, singled and scored from first on Josh Naylor’s double to right-center to tie the game.
The Mariners retook the lead in the third inning when Julio Rodriguez sent a screaming line drive into the seats in deep left-center for his 23rd homer of the season. The solo blast made it 2-1.
The delay came in the top of the fourth inning and the Mariners holding a 2-1 lead as the rain increased from an incessant drizzle to a steady pace. Mitch Haniger led off the inning with a single through the rain drops off Cleveland starter Cal Quantrill. As the rain increased, Eugenio Suarez followed with a single to left.
But still, nothing was done.
After Quantrill fired a first-pitch strike to Adam Frazier, who was trying to bunt the runners into scoring position, home plate umpire Angel Hernandez finally seemed to notice what had been apparent to everyone else for about 10 minutes — the rain had already reached downpour status and the field conditions weren’t ideal.
He dramatically called timeout and put the game on hold at 3:35 p.m. ET. The grounds crew rushed on the field to put the tarp they had removed about 2 hours before back on to the infield.
And the waiting in the rain began.
An hour later? Still waiting through heavy rain.
Two hours of time? More waiting as puddles formed on the warning track.
Three hours? Yes, more waiting though there didn’t seem to be much in the way of precipitation falling, which led to some of the fans remaining to start screaming to restart the game. The grounds crew even removed the tarp briefly to prep the infield dirt to provide some hope, only to put it back on and crush that hope.
At four hours into the delay, an announcement was made that the game would restart at 8:10 p.m. local time — weather permitting. The grounds crew pulled the tarp at 7:45 p.m. and the 500 or so fans from the announced crowd of 17,809 rejoiced in celebration though there was only one concession stand open for them to use.
With neither starter coming back in after the delay, big lefty Sam Hentges replaced Quantrill, inheriting a minor mess with Haniger on second, Suarez on first and Frazier in the batter’s box with an 0-1 count.
At 8:12 p.m., Hentges fired his first pitch that hit Frazier, who was trying to bunt, between his shoulder blades.
With no outs, and the bases loaded, J.P. Crawford’s ground ball to shortstop was turned into a double play up the middle but allowed a run to score for a 3-1 lead in the fourth.
Using his relievers inning by inning after Kirby, manager Scott Servais called on Diego Castillo in the seventh inning. Andres Gimenez worked a leadoff walk, stole second easily and scored on Austin Hedges infield single that Crawford couldn’t make a play on.
Cleveland tied the game in the eighth inning. Amed Rosario snapped an 0-for-12 streak, leading off with a single off Erik Swanson. He stole second and advanced to third when Eugenio Suarez misplayed the throw from Curt Casali, allowing Rosario to advance to third. Rosario should’ve scored on Josh Naylor’s high chopper that Swanson calmly gloved and fired to first base.
With two outs, Servais called on Paul Sewald to face right-handed hitting Oscar Gonzalez. The move didn’t yield expected results with Gonzalez dumping a single into left to score Rosario and tie the game at 3-3. | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/after-more-than-eight-hours-after-first-pitch-mariners-finish-off-sweep-of-guardians/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-09-05T03:29:40Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/after-more-than-eight-hours-after-first-pitch-mariners-finish-off-sweep-of-guardians/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | true |

LANGLEY, Wash. — One person was killed and nine people remained missing after a float plane crashed in the Puget Sound in Washington state on Sunday, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The agency said via Twitter Sunday afternoon that the plane was flying from Friday Harbor, a popular tourist destination in the San Juan Islands, to Renton, Washington. Previously the Coast Guard had said the plane was flying to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The crash happened in Mutiny Bay, off Whidbey Island, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Seattle.
The Coast Guard said one body was recovered and nine people remain missing.
Float planes, planes that have pontoons allowing them to land on water, are a common sight around the Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. There are multiple, daily flights between the Seattle area and the San Juan Islands, a scenic archipelago northwest of Seattle that draws tourists from around the world.
The aircraft, which also fly between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, frequently fly through Seattle and land in a lake not far from the city's iconic Space Needle.
Renton, where authorities say the flight was headed Sunday, is at the southern tip of Lake Washington about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southeast of Seattle.
In May 2019, six people were killed in a midair collision between two Alaska sightseeing planes. The Ketchikan-based floatplanes carrying passengers from the same cruise ship, the Royal Princess, were returning from tours of Misty Fjords National Monument.

Parties to call up 559 women to fill assemblies gender gap
Parties will have to nominate 559 female ward representatives to the 47 county assemblies to meet the two-thirds gender rule after only 100 women were elected as legislators in the devolved units out of the 1,445 seats available.
The number of elected female ward representatives in the August 9 elections represents a marginal increase from the 97 who got in through the ballot in 2017.
In that election, 559 female members were nominated as gender top-up to meet requirements of Article 177 of the Constitution, which stipulates that the special seats will be picked as necessary to ensure that not more than two-thirds of any assembly is of one gender.
Another 90 female members will be nominated to represent marginalised groups.
The 2017 gender top-up was a drop from the 680 women nominated in the 2013 General Election, in which 84 female MCAs were elected to regional Houses.
The number of female MCAs could, however, increase as five wards are yet to elect their representatives after elections in the areas were postponed by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
Kwa Njenga Ward in Embakasi South and Nyaki West had their elections last Monday with male candidates clinching the seats.
In this year’s elections, 10 counties—Lamu, Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit, West Pokot, Samburu, Kajiado, Narok and Nyamira—did not elect a single woman to the regional legislatures.
In the 2017 elections, Embu, Garissa, Isiolo, Kajiado, Kirinyaga, Mandera, Narok, Samburu, Wajir and West Pokot were the culprits.
On the flip side, Nakuru County has the highest number of female MCAs standing at eight, followed by Bungoma, Kiambu, Kisumu and Homa Bay counties with six each.
Murang’a County has five female ward representatives while Kilifi, Trans Nzoia, Siaya, Nyeri and Nairobi have four each.
Nandi, Baringo, Mombasa, Vihiga, Migori and Tana River have three women MCAs each.
Voters in Embu, Machakos, Uasin Gishu, Bomet, and Laikipia counties elected two women to each of those assemblies. Taita Taveta, Kwale, Isiolo, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Kitui, Makueni, Nyandarua, Kirinyaga, Kakamega, Turkana, Kericho, Elgeyo Marakwet, Busia and Kisii have a single female MCA each.
In 2017, Nairobi assembly led with the most nominated women at 34, as Kiambu, Kakamega, Kisii and Meru followed with 28, 25, 20 and 19, respectively.
Kilifi and Garissa each got 15 nominated women members.
The 10 assemblies that have no representation of a female MCA have to nominate at least 10 women to meet the legal threshold. The Constitution stipulates that the nomination slots will be as many as are required to ensure that no gender has more than two-thirds of the representation in the regional assemblies. | https://nation.africa/kenya/counties/parties-to-call-up-559-women-to-fill-assemblies-gender-gap-3936830 | 2022-09-05T04:24:50Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/counties/parties-to-call-up-559-women-to-fill-assemblies-gender-gap-3936830 | false |

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets declined Monday after Wall Street ended last week lower and China tightened anti-virus controls.
Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong and South Korea declined. Oil prices rose more than $1 per barrel while the euro edged lower.
Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 index ended down 1.1% on Friday after U.S. government data showed hiring slowed in August. The number of jobs added still was big enough that forecasters said the Federal Reserve might see it as evidence more interest rate hikes are needed to bring down inflation that is at a four-decade high.
Asian trading may be “muted to lower” after Wall Street's “failed attempt" at a rebound following the jobs report, said Yeap Jun Rong of IG in a report.
The Shanghai Composite Index lost less than 0.1% to 3,185.29 after the Chinese government tightened controls on movement in the southern business center of Shenzhen following virus outbreaks.
The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo lost 0.1% to 27,610.75 while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong tumbled 1.8% to 19,105.24.
The Kospi in Seoul lost 0.1% to 2,406.58 while Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 added 0.1% to 6,837.50.
New Zealand declined while Singapore and Indonesia advanced.
Traders are uneasily watching the Fed after chair Jerome Powell said Aug. 26 that interest rates have to stay elevated to extinguish pressure for prices to rise. That dashed hopes the Fed might back of due to signs U.S. economic activity is cooling.
The Fed has raised interest rates four times this year, twice by 0.75 percentage points, triple its usual margin.
Central banks in Europe and Asia also have raised rates, fueling worries they might derail global economic growth.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average also fell 1.1% on Friday after the Labor Department reported the U.S. economy added 315,000 jobs in August. That was down markedly from July's 526,000, but average hourly pay also jumped by an unusually wide margin of 5.2% compared with a year earlier.
Forecasters warned that high wage gains might reinforce the Fed's belief that more aggressive rate hikes are needed.
The Nasdaq composite lost 1.3%.
The U.S. market has given up much of the gains made in July and August when traders hoped the Fed might ease up.
Traders expect another 0.75 percentage point rate hike at this month's Fed meeting, according to CME Group.
Also Friday, Russian state-run energy giant Gazprom announced a suspension of gas supply through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany might be prolonged. The company said last Wednesday the flow of gas would be stopped for three days due to urgent maintenance work.
In energy markets, benchmark U.S. crude gained $1.48 to $88.35 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 26 cents to $86.87 on Friday. Brent crude, the price basis for international oil trading, added $1.59 to $94.61 per barrel in London. It advanced 66 cents the previous session to $93.02.
The dollar advanced to 140.28 yen from Friday's 140.13 yen. The euro declined to 99.18 cents from 99.64 cents. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Asian-stocks-follow-Wall-Street-lower-after-US-17419620.php | 2022-09-05T04:25:16Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Asian-stocks-follow-Wall-Street-lower-after-US-17419620.php | false |
One woman dead, property destroyed in Southern Indiana after flash flood Saturday
On Sunday, Jefferson County Emergency Management officials announced one woman is dead after flash flooding washed away roads and entire homes in parts of southern Indiana. They estimated more than 9 inches of rain fell over just three hours.
The water tossed around cars, and trailers, while also leaving some roads in the area completely impassable.
"I have never witnessed this type of devastation," said Gary Imel.
Just one day after watching a flash food wreak havoc on his neighbors, Imel found out the flood claimed the life of a woman, a person he knew.
"I'm still in shock," said Imel. "It's just devastating."
The flood also destroyed livelihoods.
"The water took roughly two hundred brown bales of hay," said Imel. "We work all summer long cutting, raking, baling it, then hauling it home. We store it so that in the wintertime, that's what we feed the livestock. That's all they have to eat."
However, this year, tough choices will have to be made.
"I'm sure we are going to downsize and have to sell some livestock," said Imel. "We will be able to start over, and build the inventory back up, but it will take several years."
Jefferson County EMA officials said more than 20 different buildings sustained damage as a result of the storm. Two homes are destroyed.
"Several bridges are washed out," said Chad Backus, Jefferson County road maintenance worker. "A couple houses are still missing. There are cars everywhere and a lot of road damage. It's going to be several weeks until everything is open."
Aside from the hay bales, Imel also lost a calf, his trailer got destroyed, and his electric fence is ruined. Still he considers himself one of the lucky ones, even if it means starting back at square one.
"Everything is bad," said Imel. "It's bad for everybody, and being a small farmer this may take me out."
At this point, there have been no other reports of injuries due to that flooding. At least eight agencies are working together to continue to assess the damage.

This article is forms part of a special issue on "research on prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases" https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/biosafety-and-health/vol/4/issue/4.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the practice of infectious diseases biobanking, as well as existing challenges and opportunities.
Governance frameworks allowing for the sharing of materials and data, the plurarity of sample collection and storing SOPs and the adherence to biosafety level requirements were highlighted as potential operational barriers.
The availability of an increased number of purpose-built biobanks with harmonized SOPs, allows for scalability of response in times of crisis.
Collaborations of infectious disease biobanks with existing vertical national and regional efforts provide synergistic opportunities that can positively impact biobank sustainability, staff training and retention.

Emergency declared as flash flooding hits northwest Georgia
Thunderstorms and heavy rain pounded parts of northwest Georgia on Sunday, sparking flash flooding in some areas. Local news reports showed roads under water and homeowners struggling to keep water out.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon in Chattooga and Floyd counties, directing all state resources to help with "preparation, response and recovery activities." The National Weather Service said rainfall of up to one inch per hour was causing creeks, streams, roadways and urban areas to experience unusually high levels of water. Up to 12 inches of rain was estimated to have fallen in the area, according to Kemp's executive order.
"This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order," the service said.
The service declared a "flash flood emergency" for Summerville, Lyerly and James H. Floyd State Park in Chattooga County. Floyd County — just to the south — was also under a flash flood warning.
At 3:10 p.m., the service advised locals to avoid non-emergency travel as another round of emergency rainfall entered the area.
The city of Summerville advised residents who use the city's water utility services to boil water prior to drinking, cooking or preparing baby food due to flash flooding at the Raccoon Creek Filter plant.
"Water should be boiled for at least one minute after reaching a rolling boil. Citizens should continue to boil their water until they are notified by their drinking water utility that the water system has been restored to full operation, and that the microbiological quality of the water in the distribution system is safe for human consumption," the city said on its website. | https://www.kcra.com/article/emergency-declared-flash-flooding-hits-northwest-georgia/41076080 | 2022-09-05T04:42:01Z | https://www.kcra.com/article/emergency-declared-flash-flooding-hits-northwest-georgia/41076080 | true |
The Queen is said to not want to be “on tenterhooks” all the time waiting for the “next nuclear bomb” from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Harry and Meghan are back in the UK this week for the first time since returning for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.
The couple will appear at events in London and Manchester, as well as jetting off to Germany to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games.
Reports suggest the pair touched down on British soil on Saturday but a spokeswoman for the couple declined to confirm their arrival.
The trip comes just days after Meghan’s wide-ranging interview with The Cut in which she said it takes “a lot of effort” to forgive and hinted that she can “say anything”.
In the interview, running to more than 6,000 words, Meghan said that “just by existing” she and Harry were “upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy” before they stepped down as senior working royals.
An article by Sunday Times royal editor Roya Nikkhah includes a quote from a royal source which says it is hard to see that what Harry and Meghan are doing “would equate to the values of the Queen, who has never encouraged people to discuss deeply personal family relationships in public”.
When stepping away from their roles as senior royals, Harry and Meghan promised that “everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty”.
The newspaper said a source who knows the Queen well said: “She doesn’t want to be on tenterhooks all the time, waiting to see what the next nuclear bomb will be – that will take its toll.”
Meanwhile, a friend of the Prince of Wales is quoted as saying that Charles is “completely bewildered by why his son, whom he loves deeply, feels this is the way to go about managing family relationships”.
A royal source, who was involved in the negotiations around Harry and Meghan’s departure, told the paper the couple’s “star power” requires an association with the royal family “and the fuel on those flames is the family discord”.
Another palace source told the newspaper: “Ultimately, they are bashing the institution that has put them in the position they’re in, the longevity of that strategy is not sustainable.”
Harry and Meghan have taken part in a number of interviews since their departure from royal life, including a controversial sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
They accused the royal family of racism, claiming an unnamed royal made a racist remark about Archie before he was born, and that the institution failed to help a suicidal Meghan.
The Duchess of Cambridge was publicly singled out by Meghan for allegedly making her cry in the run-up to the wedding.
Whilst in The Hague for the Invictus Games earlier this year, Harry did an interview with NBC’s Today show in which he appeared to issue a veiled warning to those closest to the Queen, saying he wanted to make sure his grandmother was “protected” and had “the right people around her”.
He did not elaborate on whether he was referring to royal aides or members of his family, but his comments are likely to have deepened the rift with his father and his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, as well as perplexing palace officials.
Meghan has also been interviewed by US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres while Harry has been interviewed by James Corden, host of the US talk programme The Late Late Show.
During The Cut interview, Meghan said she was told there was the same jubilation in South Africa when she married Harry as there was when Nelson Mandela was freed from prison.
A royal source told The Sunday Times: “The whole thing is just staggering.”
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
Harry and Meghan will head to Manchester on Monday for the One Young World summit, an event which brings together young leaders from more than 190 countries.
The couple will then head to Germany for the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 One Year to Go event which is taking place on Tuesday, before returning to the UK for the WellChild Awards in London where Harry will deliver a speech on Thursday.
It is not known whether Harry and Meghan will visit the Queen in Balmoral during their trip.
The PA news agency has contacted Harry and Meghan’s representatives for comment. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3660784/queen-doesnt-want-to-be-on-tenterhooks-all-the-time-with-harry-and-meghan/ | 2022-09-05T04:42:03Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3660784/queen-doesnt-want-to-be-on-tenterhooks-all-the-time-with-harry-and-meghan/ | true |
The Liberal Democrats said they will propose legislation this week which would freeze energy bills by preventing the price cap rise due in October.
Party leader Sir Ed Davey accused the frontrunner in the Tory leadership election, Liz Truss, of “leaving people worried sick” by her “refusal to come clean on her plans” on how to support households with soaring energy bills.
The energy price cap is due to rise 80% in October, after the regulator, Ofgem, said the average household’s yearly bill can be raised from £1,971 to £3,549.
The Lib Dems said they would present a bill to Parliament this week that would prohibit Ofgem from increasing the cap above its current level.
The bill, which the party said could be presented on Tuesday, would also call on the Government to provide funding to energy providers to cover the cost shortfall, which would be paid for in part through expanding and backdating the windfall tax on oil and gas producers, the party said.
And proposals would see small businesses helped with their costs by providing grants worth 80% of their expected energy bill increase.
The Lib Dems said the measure could be funded by cancelling proposed tax cuts for banks.
Presentation bills are introduced without debate in the House of Commons, and the Liberal Democrats are unlikely to be able to force a vote on it in the immediate future.
Labour is pushing for a six-month freeze on energy bills at the current £1,971 price cap, also funded in part by expanding the windfall tax on oil and gas profits.
Ms Truss, who is tipped to take over as prime minister on Tuesday if she wins the Conservative leadership election against her rival Rishi Sunak, was asked about the idea of freezing energy bills on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme.
Ms Truss said: “I’m not going to go into details of what a putative announcement would be before, because I think it would be wrong to do that.”
The leadership hopeful said that if she wins and takes over as prime minister she will make an announcement “within one week” about how “we are going to deal with the issue of energy bills and of long-term supply”.
Ms Truss was pressed several times during the interview to say what kind of support she intends to provide if elected, but the Foreign Secretary would not be drawn.
“Before you have been elected as prime minister, you don’t have all the wherewithal to get the things done.
“So, this is why it will take a week to sort out the precise plans and make sure we are able to announce them,” she said.
But the Lib Dem leader said Ms Truss is refusing to “come clean” on her plans.
Sir Ed said: “The country is facing a social catastrophe the likes of which we’ve not seen in decades.
“Liz Truss’ refusal to come clean on her plans is leaving people worried sick about how they will afford to heat their homes this winter.
“Liberal Democrats have drafted a bill to freeze energy bills, which could be brought in on day one by the new prime minister.
“Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak must make it their first act to cancel this eye-watering energy price rise, to save millions of families from being plunged into poverty.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3660787/lib-dems-propose-legislation-to-freeze-energy-bills/ | 2022-09-05T04:45:05Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3660787/lib-dems-propose-legislation-to-freeze-energy-bills/ | false |

Lewis Hamilton has paid tribute to Serena Williams by calling the tennis star “the greatest of all time” and thanked her and sister Venus for giving him hope to achieve his own dreams.
The Mercedes driver was namechecked by the 23-time grand slam singles champion as others that should be in the ‘greatest of all time’ conversation this week during the US Open, which is set to be Williams’ final tournament in the sport.
Williams succumbed to Ajla Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4) 6-1 on Friday in the third round in emotional scenes at Flushing Meadows and the likes of Tiger Woods and LeBron James talked up the influence of the 40-year-old across the world.
Hamilton has long made public his admiration for the Williams sisters and Britain’s most successful Formula One driver explained the pivotal role they played on him growing up.
“Taking a moment before the race today to show my appreciation and gratitude to the greatest of all time, @serenawilliams,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram.
“We will never see another Serena. She’s one of a kind. She came through like a wrecking ball and has been so spectacular to witness. She has such fierceness, power, and strength in both body and mind. To be so bold, Black, brave and, above all, a kind and caring human being is beautiful.
“I remember watching her and Venus at their first games with my dad on TV. Seeing such talented women dominating a field where no one looked like them gave me hope. They made me believe that superheroes are real, and they can look (like) me and my family.
“I never dreamed in a million years I would meet these heroes and come to call them my friends. I knew that I wasn’t alone because of you. I knew I could never give up because you didn’t. I can’t thank you two enough.
“Still today you remind me to never give up, you remind me what we stand for and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You make me want to be better in all ways. A better competitor, a better brother, a better friend, and a better leader.
“You inspire me every day and just know you always have a brother in me. Serena, I’m wishing you all the happiness in what’s next for you. You truly deserve it.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3661042/we-will-never-see-another-serena-lewis-hamilton-pays-tribute-to-williams/ | 2022-09-05T04:46:41Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3661042/we-will-never-see-another-serena-lewis-hamilton-pays-tribute-to-williams/ | false |
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s chance of power outages will grow in the coming days, as the state prepares to enter the most brutal stretch yet of an ongoing heat wave, officials said Sunday.
Energy demand is expected to outpace supply starting Monday evening, and predictions for Tuesday show the state rivaling its all-time high for electricity demand, said Elliot Mainzer, president and chief executive officer of the California Independent System Operator.
“This is about to get significantly more intense,” Mainzer told reporters.
The system operator is in charge of managing and maintaining reliability on the electric grid, a challenging job during hot weather when energy demand soars as people crank up their air conditioners.
Grid managers have several options available before power outages, like tapping backup generators, buying more power from other states and using so-called demand response programs, where people are paid to use less energy. But keeping the lights on will also require Californians to continue conserving as they have been, even as temperatures rise.
Most of California’s 39 million people are facing extremely hot weather. Temperatures in the Central Valley are expected to be as high as 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius) for several days. In Los Angeles, meanwhile, temperatures topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), unusually warm temperatures for September.
Energy officials and power companies have been urging people since Wednesday to use less power from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. by keeping air conditioners at 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.5 degrees Celsius) or higher and avoiding using major appliances like ovens and dishwashers. Those so-called flex alerts have allowed the grid operator to keep the lights on so far.
On Saturday night, the state used about 44,000 megawatts of electricity, Mainzer said. By Tuesday, that’s supposed to ramp up to more than 50,000 megawatts, nearing record levels of energy use set in 2006. But the state would rather curb demand to avoid that number than test the power grid’s capability to respond.
“Our goal is to make sure that we do not reach that number,” Mainzer said.
During the day, California’s energy grid runs on a mix of mostly solar and natural gas, as well as some imports of power from other states. But solar power begins to fall off during the late afternoon and into the evening, which is the hottest time of day in some parts of the state.
Meanwhile, some of the aging natural gas plants that California relies on for backup power aren’t as reliable in hot weather. As of Sunday afternoon, three of the state’s coastal power plants were experiencing partial outages, though they make up just a small fraction of the state’s supply, officials said.
At the same time, some hydropower resources are limited due to drought. Dry conditions and heat are hitting California as the state heads into what traditionally is the worst of the fire season, with large fires already burning and turning deadly. 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.
Several hundred thousand Californians lost power in rolling blackouts in August 2020 amid hot weather. The state avoided a similar scenario last summer. Newsom on Friday signed legislation potentially allowing the state’s last remaining nuclear plant to stay open beyond its planned 2025 closure in order to ensure more power for the energy grid.
On Sunday evening, nuclear power accounted for about 5% of California’s energy supply. | https://who13.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-chance-of-california-power-outages-up-as-heat-wave-worsens/ | 2022-09-05T04:47:36Z | https://who13.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-chance-of-california-power-outages-up-as-heat-wave-worsens/ | true |

LANGLEY, Wash. — One person was killed and nine people remained missing after a floatplane crashed in Puget Sound in Washington state on Sunday, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The agency said in a press release the plane was flying from Friday Harbor, a popular tourist destination in the San Juan Islands, to Renton, a southern suburb of Seattle. The Coast Guard previously said the plane was flying to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The crash was reported at 3:11 p.m. and happened in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of downtown Seattle and about halfway between Friday Harbor and Renton.
The Coast Guard said one body was recovered and nine people were still missing as of around 9p.m. Sunday.
The cause of the crash is unknown, authorities said.
The Coast Guard said four Coast Guard vessels, a rescue helicopter and an aircraft were involved in the search, along with first responders from area rescue and law enforcement agencies.
The Seattle Times reports that the National Transportation Safety Board says the plane was a de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Turbine Otter. The aircraft is a single-engine, propeller plane.
Floatplanes, which have pontoons allowing them to land on water, are a common sight around Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. There are multiple, daily flights between the Seattle area and the San Juan Islands, a scenic archipelago northwest of Seattle that draws tourists from around the world.
These aircraft, which also fly between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, frequently travel over Seattle and land in a large lake not far from the city's iconic Space Needle.
Renton, where authorities say the flight was headed Sunday, is at the southern tip of Lake Washington, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southeast of Seattle.
In 2019, a midair crash in Alaska between two sightseeing planes killed six people. The Ketchikan-based floatplanes were carrying passengers from the same cruise ship, the Royal Princess, and were returning from tours of Misty Fjords National Monument.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is making his third trip to Pennsylvania in less than a week and returning just two days after his predecessor, Donald Trump, staged his own rally there — illustrating the battleground state’s importance to both parties as Labor Day kicks off a nine-week sprint to crucial midterm elections.
Trump spoke Saturday night in Wilkes-Barre, near Scranton, where Biden was born. The president made his own Wilkes-Barre trip last week to discuss increasing funding for police, decry GOP criticism of the FBI after the raid on Trump’s Florida estate and to argue that new, bipartisan gun safety measures can help reduce violent crime.
Two days after that, Biden went to Independence Hall in Philadelphia for a prime-time address denouncing the “extremism” of Trump’s fiercest supporters. On Monday, he’s attending Labor Day festivities in Milwaukee, in another key swing state, Wisconsin, before traveling to Pittsburgh for that city’s parade.
The White House says Biden will celebrate “the dignity of American workers.” The unofficial start of fall, Labor Day also traditionally kicks off political crunch time, with campaigns scrambling to excite voters ahead of Election Day on Nov. 8. That’s when control of the House and Senate, as well some of the country’s top governorships, will be decided.
Trump has endorsed candidates in key races around the country and Biden is warning that some Republicans now believe so strongly in Trumpism that they are willing to undermine core American values to promote it. The president said Thursday that the midterms will be a battle “for the soul of the nation,” the same slogan he used to win the 2020 election, and that “blind loyalty to a single leader, and a willingness to engage in political violence, is fatal to democracy.”
Biden added in that speech that “MAGA Republicans are destroying American democracy,” referring to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign cry and pointing to incidents like last year’s mob attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump said during his Saturday rally that Biden’s Philadelphia appearance featured “the most vicious, hateful and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president.”
“He’s an enemy of the state,” the former president said.
Monday will see Biden return to another theme that was a centerpiece of his 2020 campaign, that labor unions burnished the middle class, which in turn built and strengthened modern American society.
Endorsements from key unions helped Biden overcome disastrous early finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire to win the Democratic primary, and eventually the White House. He has since continued to praise labor unions — even though many voters without college degrees, many working class, remain among Trump’s strongest bloc of supporters.
Mary Kay Henry, president of the 2-million-member Service Employees International Union, called Biden championing unions heading into the midterms “critical” and said that the labor movement must “mobilize in battlegrounds across the country to ensure that working people turn out.”
“We’re really excited about the president speaking directly to workers about, if he had the opportunity, he’d join a union,” Henry said. She added: “This president has signaled which side he’s on. And he’s on the side of working people. And that matters hugely.”
Biden, meanwhile, has personal history with Pittsburgh’s Labor Day parade, which is among the nation’s largest. He attended the 2015 installment as vice president and returned in 2018. Both times, Biden, now 79, faced questions about whether he’d run for president in upcoming elections — which he opted against in 2016 before winning the White House in 2020.
This year, the oldest president in the nation’s history has faced speculation about if he’ll seek a second term in 2024 — though he’s insisted that’s his intention, and the pressure has dissipated some in recent weeks, amid a string of policy and political successes for Biden and his party.
Still, both perennial presidential battleground states Biden is visiting on Monday may provide key measures of Democrats’ strength before this November and 2024. With inflation still raging and the president’s approval ratings remaining low, how much Biden can help his party in top races remains to be seen.
In Wisconsin, Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes is trying to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, but drew criticism from Johnson’s campaign for being noncommittal beforehand about appearing with Biden in Milwaukee. In the state’s other top race, Tim Michels, a construction executive endorsed by Trump, is attempting to deny Democratic Gov. Tony Evers a second term. Evers said he planned to join Biden on Monday.
Pennsylvania voters are choosing a new governor, with state Attorney General John Shapiro facing another Trump-endorsed Republican, Doug Mastriano, and a new senator. That race is between Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and Trump-backed celebrity heart physician Mehmet Oz. Shapiro and Fetterman both planned to attend Monday’s Pittsburgh parade.
The Pennsylvania and Wisconsin races could decide which party controls the Senate next year, while the winner of each governorship may influence results in 2024’s presidential election. The stakes are particularly high given that some Trump-aligned candidates have spread lies about widespread fraud that did not occur during the 2020 election — raising questions about what might happen if a candidate they don’t support wins the next presidential contest. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/biden-visiting-2-swing-states-as-midterm-crunch-time-begins/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-09-05T04:57:02Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/biden-visiting-2-swing-states-as-midterm-crunch-time-begins/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | true |

SHANGHAI, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dada Group (NASDAQ: DADA)'s Dada Now is a leading local on-demand delivery platform in China, providing indispensable delivery infrastructure to local retail in the new era. Bing FU, General Manager of Dada Now, gave a speech on the topic "AI empowers on-demand delivery infrastructure" at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in Shanghai, elaborating how to improve efficiency and bring better fulfillment experience for customers, merchants and riders.
Dynamic match supply and demand
AI technology has gradually evolved to a mature stage. Meanwhile, online and offline channels are integrating with the development of on-demand retail; the demands and scenarios of on-demand retail have becoming increasingly abundant; and the order volume has shown a trend of rapid growth.
According to the "2022 On-demand Delivery Service White Paper" jointly released by LOG Research and Dada Now, from 2014 to 2021, the number of on-demand delivery orders grew explosively. The number of orders in 2021 was 30.85 billion, with a CAGR close to 60%.
Different from traditional logistics that often require multi-day, local on-demand orders are omni-channel, full-scenario, full-category and full-time, with a requirement to be delivered within one hour.
The increasing number and the features of delivery orders put forward higher requirements for delivery capacity. On the one hand, more riders are joining, and their working time and locations are constantly changing, posing a challenge for high-quality management and coordination. On the other hand, on-demand delivery has developed diverse types, including two-wheeled, four-wheeled and autonomous delivery. The question of how to ensure more efficient and stable fulfillment has become the key for the upgrade of the on-demand delivery industry.
Bing FU noted, "Supply and demand sides of on-demand delivery are more random than traditional logistics, and AI technology is essential to match the two sides dynamically. Meanwhile, we also care about the feelings of customers, merchants and riders, while improving efficiency."
Tech in last mile delivery
Dada Now's smart order dispatch system can realize real-time dynamic match of massive orders and riders. Data shows that the order distribution system plans routes 176 million times per day, with the average order response time being within 10 milliseconds, and the average delivery time being about 30 minutes.
For riders, the biggest "pain point" is to accurately locate the buildings where customers are. Based on the accumulated historical data from billions of riders, corresponding with the order address, Dada Now has adopted an AI analysis algorithm to effectively identify the building. Bing FU stated that the accuracy rate has been improved to 95.1%.
The AI algorithm also factors in the riders' experience and safety as well. The riders may come across various situations during the whole process, including order picking, delivery and handing the order to customers. The AI algorithm identifies the possible time-consuming processes in different routes and estimates the time cost, dynamically extending the delivery time for riders, in order to optimize riders' experiences.
Additionally, teaming up with JD Logistics and autonomous delivery vehicle developer White Rhino, Dada Now's autonomous delivery operation open system has already been applied in SEVEN FRESH, Yonghui Supermarket to cover a dozen neighborhoods, fulfilling nearly 50,000 orders. Compared with traditional delivery, unmanned vehicles feature lower delivery cost, larger carrying capacity, stronger stability, and higher safety, for one-hour delivery.
Technological innovation brings the future into reality. Bing FU said, "From the integration of AI and on-demand delivery, we can see the AI is making the delivery smarter and offering a warmer experience. With technological innovation, we guarantee that our customers receive their orders within one hour, and ensure the riders' efficiency, experience and safety."

An early goal from Fraser Horsfall proved the difference as Stockport edged out AFC Wimbledon 1-0.
County held on to secure their second win of the season, while the Dons have now lost three of their last four.
Kyle Wootton and Will Collar had already gone close by the time Stockport did break through after 11 minutes.
Skipper Antoni Sarcevic floated over a corner which was met by centre-back Horsfall, who headed home unchallenged at the far post.
Collar fired over from just eight yards, then the hosts threatened again when Wootton’s explosive half-volley was superbly beaten away by keeper Nik Tzanev.
Dons wide-man Ayoub Assal fired an angled shot over the top just before the break.
Stockport keeper Vitezslav Jaros produced a super save to keep out Harry Pell after the restart.
Pell was again unlucky as he planted a downward header narrowly off target.
Johnnie Jackson’s men had improved in the second period and they were unlucky late on when referee Sunny Gill waved away appeals after Josh Davison was sent tumbling by Joe Lewis. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3659446/one-goal-enough-as-stockport-see-off-afc-wimbledon/ | 2022-09-05T05:02:24Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3659446/one-goal-enough-as-stockport-see-off-afc-wimbledon/ | false |

Geordie star Sam Fender said it will make a “childhood dream come true” when he plays a huge home-coming gig at Newcastle United’s stadium.
The 28-year-old delighted fans by revealing on social media that he will play his biggest gig, and his first stadium venue, next summer at St James’ Park.
The award-winning singer-songwriter has chosen June 9 next year, a significant date for Tynesiders as it features in the Blaydon Races which is sung at Newcastle United games.
Fender, a massive fan of the Magpies, said: “Ever since I started this band, I always used to joke with the boys that one day we might play St James’ Park in Newcastle.
“It’s a childhood dream come true, and we’re actually gonna play it on the 9th June.
“This is literally gonna be the biggest show we’ve ever done – our first stadium show, which is so weird to say!
“I can’t wait, it’s gonna be absolutely lush and I hope to see yas all there.”
He released his debut solo album Hypersonic Missiles in September 2019, following it up with second album Seventeen Going Under in October 2021.
He won an Ivor Novello this year for best song musically and lyrically for its title track Seventeen Going Under, written about his teenage years and the difficulty of growing up.
He made a hung-over appearance on BBC Breakfast last year, following a night celebrating a Saudi Arabian-backed takeover of the club.
He had been seen joining Toon fans partying outside the ground the night before his weary-looking stint on the TV sofa. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/lifestyle/3655408/sam-fenders-joy-at-announcing-biggest-st-james-park-gig/ | 2022-09-05T05:16:15Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/lifestyle/3655408/sam-fenders-joy-at-announcing-biggest-st-james-park-gig/ | false |
Children online today are “better protected” than they were a year ago, the Information Commissioner has said as he marked the first anniversary of the Age Appropriate Design Code being introduced.
Rolled out in September last year, the so-called Children’s Code put in place new data protection codes of practice for online services likely to be accessed by children, built on existing data protection laws, with financial penalties a possibility for serious breaches.
Information Commissioner John Edwards said the code had sparked a change in behaviour from tech giants, noting that several had changed a range of policies around things such as ad targeting of younger users and video autoplay since the code had been rolled out.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) said it was currently looking into how more than 50 different online services were conforming with the code, with four ongoing investigations – it said it had also audited nine organisations and was currently assessing their outcomes.
Mr Edwards said the ICO was now looking to evolve its approach further to ensure the code continued to have the maximum impact.
“We’ve seen real changes since the Children’s Code came into force a year ago. These changes come as a result of the ICO’s action enforcing the code, making clear to industry the changes that are required,” he said.
“The result is that children are better protected online in 2022 than they were in 2021.
“This code makes clear that children are not like adults online, and their data needs greater protections. We want children to be online, learning, playing and experiencing the world, but with the right protections in place to do so.
“There’s more for us to achieve. We are currently looking into a number of different online services and their conformance with the code as well as ongoing investigations. And we’ll use our enforcement powers where they are required.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3654955/children-safer-online-now-than-a-year-ago-because-of-safety-code/ | 2022-09-05T05:17:53Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3654955/children-safer-online-now-than-a-year-ago-because-of-safety-code/ | true |
Brendan Rodgers voiced his frustration at the Leicester owners following a quiet transfer window after admitting his struggling side face an uphill battle in the Premier League.
Rodgers has been left picking up the pieces following a frustrating summer, with the home supporters again venting their disappointment after a 1-0 defeat by Manchester United on Thursday as they sit bottom of the table with just one point from five games.
Wesley Fofana and Kasper Schmeichel departed after Ademola Lookman’s loan expired, with third-choice goalkeeper Alex Smithies and deadline-day signing Wout Faes all that came the other way.
Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha explained their restricted transfer approach in his programme notes ahead of Thursday night’s game which ended with boos at the final whistle after Jadon Sancho’s goal proved enough to give United all three points and leave the Foxes bottom.
“I’m happy that the window’s shut, if I’m being honest,” Foxes boss Rodgers said. “I mean, there were huge distractions for this window.
“You’ll have read the programme notes and seen the situation that the club is in, so to have to watch virtually every single club in the top five leagues get players in and for us not to be able to improve, that was difficult, not just as a manager but for the players, because players want to compete.
“This group have shown that they can compete, but we needed (help) – but unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get that.
“So, in terms of the results, it’s my responsibility. I take that.
“We should have won by now. We’ve been in a couple of games and in really good positions, but we weren’t able to see it through, so I totally understand it.
“Supporters want to see the team win and if they’re not, they’ll tell you.
“So, for us, we won’t hide behind the rock and go away. We’re ready to fight now but it’s going to be really, really important that the supporters really get behind the players.
“As I said, it’s a really, really challenging situation with not being able to freshen up this team and this group of players.
“We really need their encouragement and help to push the players through.
“We’ll get a win sooner rather than later but we really need them behind us and that’s important.”
While Rodgers endured a testing window, United ended the summer having strengthened in a number of areas.
Cristiano Ronaldo started from the bench on a night when the transfer deadline passed without a much-discussed exit coming to pass.
Antony completed his big-money switch from Ajax on Thursday and the Brazil international will be pushing to be involved in Sunday’s clash against table-topping Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Erik Ten Hag’s men continue to make progress following their wretched start to the season and left the King Power Stadium having secured a third-straight Premier League win.
Ten Hag named an unchanged side for a third-straight match, meaning Cristiano Ronaldo started from the bench on a night when the transfer deadline passed without a much-discussed exit coming to pass.
Antony completed his big-money switch from Ajax on Thursday and the Brazil international will be pushing to be involved in Sunday’s clash against table-topping Arsenal at Old Trafford.
“Maybe that is too quick to say that (we have turned a corner),” Ten Hag said. “We are happy with it, that is sure.
“You can see there is raising a team, a squad raising, they are sticking together.
“They are supporting each other, they fight for each other, they cooperate – that is important – and if you do that you get the right scores and we did that the last three games.
“Now we have to step up further, we have to improve further. Sunday, a really good game, a really good test, so we are looking forward.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3655144/brendan-rodgers-frustrated-at-leicester-owners-after-quiet-transfer-window/ | 2022-09-05T05:20:02Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3655144/brendan-rodgers-frustrated-at-leicester-owners-after-quiet-transfer-window/ | true |
MEXICO CITY (AP) — In Mexico, a long list of nonviolent crimes — such as home burglary and freight and fuel theft — bring automatic pretrial detention, with no bail or house arrest allowed.
Mexico’s Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on that “no-bail” policy, with some justices arguing it violates international treaties that say pretrial detention should be used only in “exceptional” cases to prevent suspects from fleeing justice.
Suspects accused of murder and other violent crimes seldom get released on bail anywhere in the world. But in Mexico, the list of charges that allow a suspect to be detained pending trial has grown to 16, among them abuse of authority, corruption and electoral crime.
Yet only about two of every 10 people accused of a crime in Mexico are ever found guilty. That means that of the estimated 92,000 suspects now in cells pending trial, often with hardened criminals, around 75,000 will spend years locked up in Mexico’s crowded, dangerous prisons, unlikely to be convicted.
Trials in Mexico can drag on for a surprisingly long time. Two men were recently released with ankle monitors after spending 17 years in prison while on trial for murder. Strangely, now that they have been convicted, they are both out while pursuing appeals.
One of them, Daniel García Rodríguez, said, “We are also worried that almost 100,000 Mexicans are held in prison pending trial. They and their families are overwhelmingly poor, and pretrial detention has made them even more vulnerable.”
It all adds up to a lot of innocent people spending years in prison. Activists say an increasing number of Mexicans are forced to opt for a form of plea bargain simply because they are likely to spend more time in a cell trying to clear their names than they would if convicted.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has expanded the number of crimes considered ineligible for bail and he has publicly called on the Supreme Court not to release more people pending trial.
His administration argues that would create additional pressures or threats against judges to accept bribes in exchange for releasing suspects, and create a “revolving-door” justice system in which suspects could walk out of jail as soon as they are detained.
“It is a question of preventing them from fleeing justice, or from attacking victims or threatening witnesses, or continuing to commit crimes or direct criminal activities,” an Interior Department statement said in urging the Supreme Court not to change the rules.
Assistant Interior Secretary Ricardo Mejía argued Friday that because judges in Mexico are so corrupt, “We wouldn’t just return to the ‘revolving door,’ rather we would be talking about open doors … when there was a feeling that judges freed some criminals faster that they could be caught.”
Activists say there is also a question of whether Mexico should be locking up people for years just on the say-so of police. The country’s police forces aren’t known for sophisticated investigative techniques and often keep suspects locked up on the thinnest of suspicions while they try to build cases against them.
“What they do is: ‘First I’ll detain you, and then I’ll investigate you,'” said independent Sen. Emilio Álvarez Icaza, a former human rights official.
Luís Alejandro Chávez spent two years in prison awaiting trial for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The evidence against him? He had the same nickname — “El Potro,” or “The Foal” — as a man in a neighboring state.
“Just for having a nickname, they can ruin somebody’s life,” Chávez said in a documentary produced by the activist organization Renace (Reborn), which eventually took up his defense and got him freed.
Chávez, like most suspects held pending trial, didn’t have money to pay a private lawyer, so he had to rely on one of Mexico’s underpaid, overworked public defenders, who often must handle 300 cases at one time. Chávez said that after his initial hearing, he almost never saw the lawyer again.
Mexico does not have cash or property bail like the United States. Instead, for those it does release before trial, there are more than a dozen mechanisms aimed at ensuring they show up in court, ranging from electronic monitoring devices to confiscation of passports to periodic check-ins.
Chrístel Rosales, of the government watchdog group Mexico Evalua — Mexico Evaluates — said those measures have been shown to be about 90% effective in ensuring people appear for trial, without the pain, cost and disruption of holding someone in prison.
Pretrial detention weighs heavily on women, Rosales said. About seven of every 10 women in Mexican prisons are being held pending trial, a figure that rises to nine of every 10 in some states.
Nor are drug cartel hitmen — the biggest culprits of Mexico’s violence — the main focus of pretrial detention, Rosales said. About 30% of those jailed pending trial are charged with home robberies, about 20% for domestic violence and 10% for low-level drug sales or possession.
Sen. Álvarez Icaza calls mandatory pretrial detention “punitive populism,” designed to divert attention from the government’s failure to stop violent crime.
López Obrador has been unable to reduce Mexico’s sky-high homicide rate, but counters that holding more people in prison is a sign of success.
Álvarez Icaza calls it “an act of desperation, meant to answer the public’s legitimate concern with public safety. They think they’re solving the problem, but they’re making it worse … because when these people get out of prison, they are going to be worse off.”
The president says he will respect the Supreme Court’s ruling whatever it is, but he has publicly pressured the court in a way no previous administration has before.
Mexico’s prison population has risen by about 30% since López Obrador expanded the number of “no-bail” offenses in 2019. Being put into Mexican prisons, which are overcrowded, underfunded and controlled by gangs, can be hell for those on pretrial detention, who often enter with no prison smarts or gang connections.
“Everything costs money” for the prisoners due to bribes and extorsion, Álvarez Icaza said. “Visits cost money, food costs money…. Sometimes you even have to pay protection money in order not to get killed. For every visit, you have to pay the guard.”
That has led an increasing number of suspects to opt for some form of plea bargain, known in Mexico as a “shortened trial,” in which they plead guilty. Rosales said research shows as many as 85% of cases that do yield convictions now are the result of such plea bargains.
“In the real world,” Rosales said, “when detention means you are immediately imprisoned, people are going to look for a solution, a way out,” even if that means pleading guilty to a crime they didn’t commit. | https://www.counton2.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-mexico-debates-its-no-bail-policy-for-nonviolent-suspects/ | 2022-09-05T05:25:43Z | https://www.counton2.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-mexico-debates-its-no-bail-policy-for-nonviolent-suspects/ | false |
