FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — Last year, Sam Jalloh zig-zagged across West Africa coaching tennis to kids, taking with him rackets, balls and a cellphone loaded with photos and videos of a pro player in action to inspire the youngsters.
The player? Frances Tiafoe.
That move to encourage young Africans by showing them images of Tiafoe, an American with Sierra Leone roots, has paid off. Jalloh’s phone has pinged and pinged this week with text messages from many of the kids, delighted by the 24-year-old Tiafoe’s incredible run to the semifinals at the U.S. Open, where he beat Rafael Nadal along the way.
“They’re saying, ‘coach, have you seen Frances? This is really good.’ When these things happen . . . you can see that it motivates children,” Jalloh said. “They are very, very excited and it’s not just kids from Sierra Leone. I’ve got kids from Gambia, kids from Ghana, kids from Nigeria. This will bring a lot more inspiration for them.”
Tiafoe was born in the United States to parents who emigrated from Sierra Leone — also Jalloh’s home country — and while Tiafoe offers new hope for the future of American tennis, the African link made him an ideal role model for Jalloh to use, even before this breakthrough U.S. Open where he advanced to Friday’s semifinals before losing in five sets to Carlos Alcaraz.
Tiafoe’s parents, Frances Sr. and Alphina, struggled when they first arrived in the U.S. Frances Sr. worked as a laborer and then janitor at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland. Alphina put in long night shifts as a nurse. Frances Jr. and his twin brother, Franklin, were born in Maryland and lived for much of the first 10 years of their lives in a converted office at the tennis center.
With that backstory, Jalloh could see kids in West Africa make “a connection” to Tiafoe even though he also showed them clips of 22-time Grand Slam singles champion Nadal and other top players.
“It inspires them to go on and be great in tennis or whatever they aspire to be,” Jalloh said. He feels the Tiafoe effect in Africa will “go on for a long time.”
Jalloh insists tennis is more popular than many think in West Africa. He’s seen enough courts in enough towns and cities and enough young hopefuls to make that claim.
Some of the courts he’s coached on are neatly marked out and surrounded by fences. Many aren’t. Jalloh has made use of whatever he’s found. Some are little more than cracked strips of concrete in between houses in poor, inner-city neighborhoods. Others are stretches of flat earth carved out of the wilderness outside town.
It’s here that Jalloh hopes Tiafoe’s stirring performance at Flushing Meadows sparks something in tennis authorities in West Africa like it has in his young players.
“Once we have the organization and the people with the passion, then you’ll see a lot of talent come from Africa,” Jalloh said.
There have been positive signs in Sierra Leone in the past week. The national media, normally with eyes only for soccer, has taken notice of tennis and Tiafoe has received much praise.
Fatima Bio, wife of Sierra Leone President Julius Bio, posted on her Facebook page about Tiafoe: “You are such an amazing guy and I want you to know we are celebrating you at home.” Former Sierra Leone soccer captain Kai Kamara called Tiafoe “one of us” and said the country was behind him.
Jalloh became aware of Tiafoe when he won the prestigious Orange Bowl junior tournament in Miami at the age of 15. Jalloh wanted to know more about the young talent with Sierra Leonean heritage and eventually became good friends with Tiafoe’s dad. They speak often on the phone, Jalloh said, and were in contact this week as Frances Jr. blazed his trail at the U.S. Open.
It has also reinvigorated Jalloh, whose own life story is quite extraordinary.
Jalloh was born in the Sierra Leone capital, Freetown, one of 11 children and his parents gave him up for adoption at the age of 6 because they couldn’t afford to keep him. He ran away from his adopted family and lived on the streets of Freetown before reuniting with his mother.
He then found tennis and went from playing on the streets with his hand, and later homemade wooden bats, to a Sierra Leone national tennis player, which earned him $250 and a team tracksuit, his “greatest dream,” he said.
He now coaches players on the pro tour from his home in England and is already planning his next coaching trip to Africa. He’s aiming to go to Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa at the end of the year and back to West Africa in early 2023, he said, with his tennis equipment and plenty of new video clips of Tiafoe.
“Oh yes, I’ve got so much now. I will have a lot to show to the kids,” Jalloh said.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s Defense Ministry announced Saturday that it was pulling back troops from two areas in Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region where a Ukrainian counteroffensive has made significant advances in the past week.
The news came after days of apparent advances by Ukraine south of Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, in what could become the biggest battlefield success for Ukrainian forces since they thwarted a Russian attempt to seize the capital, Kyiv, at the start of the nearly seven-month war.
“The Russian army in these days is demonstrating the best that it can do — showing its back,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video released by his office Saturday night. “And, of course, it’s a good decision for them to run.”
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said troops would be regrouped from the Balakliya and Izyum areas to the eastern Donetsk region. Izyum was a major base for Russian forces in the Kharkiv region, and earlier this week social media videos showed residents of Balakliya joyfully cheering as Ukrainian troops moved in.
Konashenkov said the Russian move was being made “in order to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbas,’” an eastern area home to two separatist regions that Russia has declared sovereign.
The claim of a withdrawal to concentrate on Donetsk is similar to the justification Russia gave for pulling back its forces from the Kyiv region earlier this year when they failed to take the capital.
Igor Girkin, a Russian who was an early leader of a Moscow-backed separatist uprising in Donetsk in 2014, sneered at the portrayal of the pullback being strategic. On the messaging app Telegram, he acidly called it “the brilliant (clearly within the framework of the plan and even ahead of schedule) operation to transfer the cities of Izyum, Balakliya and Kupiansk to respected Ukrainian partners.”
Earlier Saturday, Ukrainian officials claimed major gains in the Kharkiv region, saying their troops had cut off vital supplies to Izyum.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko also suggested troops had retaken Kupiansk, a town along the main supply route to Izyum, long a focus on the Russian front line and the site of heavy artillery and other fighting. Nikolenko tweeted a photo showing soldiers in front of what he said was a government building in Kupiansk, 73 kilometers (45 miles) north of Izyum.
The Ukrainian Security Service posted a message hours later saying troops were in Kupiansk, further suggesting it had been seized. The military did not immediately confirm entering the town, a railway hub that Russia seized in February.
Videos on social media appeared to show Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of Izyum at a roadside checkpoint. A large statue with the city’s name could be seen in the images. Ukrainian forces did not acknowledge holding the city.
Britain’s Defense Ministry said Saturday that it believed Ukrainian troops had advanced as much as 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Kharkiv, and described Russian forces around Izyum as “increasingly isolated.”
“Russian forces were likely taken by surprise. The sector was only lightly held and Ukrainian units have captured or surrounded several towns,” the British military said, adding that the loss of Kupiansk would greatly affect Russian supply lines.
The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, likewise referenced sweeping Ukrainian gains, estimating that Kyiv has seized around 2,500 square kilometers (965 square miles) in its eastern breakthrough. The institute said it appeared that “disorganized Russian forces (were) caught in the rapid Ukrainian advance,” and cited social media images of apparent Russian prisoners seized around Izyum and surrounding towns.
The same report said Ukrainian forces “may collapse Russian positions around Izyum if they sever Russian ground lines of communication” north and south of the town.
Vladislav Sokolov, head of the Russian-appointed local administration, said on social media that authorities in Izyum had started evacuating residents to Russia.
The fighting in eastern Ukraine comes amid an ongoing offensive around Kherson in the south. Analysts suggest Russia may have taken soldiers from the east to reinforce the latter area, offering the Ukrainians the opportunity to strike a weakened front line.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told the television channel Ukraina that the Russians had no food or fuel for their troops in the area as Kyiv had cut off their supply lines.
“It will be like an avalanche,” he said, predicting a Russian fallback. “One line of defense will shake, and it will fall.”
The Ukrainian military was more circumspect, claiming to have taken “more than 1,000 square kilometers” (386 square miles) from pro-Kremlin forces this week. It said that “in some areas, units of the Defense Forces have penetrated the enemy’s defenses to a depth of 50 kilometers,” matching the British assessment, but did not disclose geographical details.
Officials in Kyiv have for weeks been tight-lipped about plans for a counteroffensive, urging residents to refrain from sharing information on social media.
However, Zelenskyy said Friday that troops had reclaimed more than 30 settlements in the Kharkiv region since the start of the counteroffensive.
Elsewhere, Ukrainian emergency services reported that a 62-year-old woman was killed in a Russian missile strike in the Kharkiv region when her home was flattened overnight.
The Ukrainian governor of Kharkiv, Oleh Syniehubov, accused Moscow of pummeling retaken settlements. He said via Telegram that five civilians were hospitalized in the Izyum district, while nine others suffered injuries elsewhere in the region.
In the embattled Donbas, the Ukrainian governor said civilians were killed and wounded overnight by Russian shelling near the city of Bakhmut, a key target of the stalled Russian offensive. Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Telegram that two people died and two were injured in Bakhmut and the neighboring village of Yahidne.
In the Russian-held city of Enerhodar, home to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, electricity and water were restored after a four-day outage due to an explosion, the city’s Ukrainian mayor, Dmytro Orlov, said.
Enerhodar and its Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant have come under repeated shelling in recent weeks, which Russia and Ukraine accused each other of committing. The shelling has raised fears of a radiation leak at the plant, which has been cut off from outside power sources; the facility has been forced to rely on power from its only working reactor for systems cooling and other safety measures.
Orlov said workers from the plant assisted in restoring Enerhodar’s power, but it was not clear if the electricity was coming from the plant or from a nearby thermal generating station.
Also Saturday, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock paid an unannounced visit to Kyiv and said Europe would not tire of helping Ukraine, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to raise the pressure by withholding energy supplies.
Baerbock said Germany will assist Ukraine in finding and removing mines and other unexploded ordnance left by Russian troops in areas where they have been pushed back.
Despite Ukraine’s gains, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the head of NATO warned Friday that the war would likely drag on for months. Blinken said the conflict was entering a critical period and urged Ukraine’s Western backers to keep up their support through what could be a difficult winter.

Which fall shower curtain is best?
As the weather turns crisp and fall decorations fill our homes, swapping your regular shower curtain for a fall shower curtain can help you savor the season during your daily routine. You can find fall-themed shower curtains with various prints, patterns and sayings that evoke cozy fall vibes. But choosing the right one for your bathroom can be a bit overwhelming. If you’re looking for a sophisticated yet reasonably priced fall shower curtain, the Shirtacle Harvest Grains & Grasses Shower Curtain is a top choice.
What to know before you buy a fall shower curtain
Materials
Fall shower curtains can come in a few different materials, just like regular shower curtains. The most common material options are linen, hemp, cotton, nylon, polyester or poly-cotton blends and plastic.
Plastic shower curtains will be waterproof and affordable, though they may not offer the appealing seasonal aesthetic you may be looking for in a fall shower curtain. Fabric shower curtains provide a more refined look while still offering a water-resistant barrier across the tub.
Size
Since fall shower curtains are a seasonal specialty item, they may not come in as many sizes as other shower curtains. However, you can generally find sizes that most standard bathtubs, measuring between 70 and 72 inches wide and long. If you want a seasonal shower curtain outside those common measurements, be sure to choose a design that comes in multiple sizes.
Hanging method
Autumn-themed shower curtains can have various hanging methods like simple holes, sewn holes, small holes with metal grommets or large holes with metal grommets. Curtains with smaller holes require hooks to hang on a curtain rod, while large holes can be threaded directly onto the rod. Holes with grommets are more durable since the metal acts as a seal to protect the curtain from tears and rips over time.
Cleaning and maintenance
As with regular shower curtains, fall shower curtains require periodic cleaning to keep soap scum and mildew at bay. If your shower curtain is machine-washable, that’s your best bet. If not, scrubbing with soapy water and a brush or sponge can help refresh your curtain as needed. Since you’ll only bring out this specialty shower curtain one season a year, it’s a good idea to clean it before packing it up again to prevent the buildup of dirt or dust while in storage.
What to look for in a quality fall shower curtain
Unique designs and high-performing materials differentiate quality fall shower curtains from all the others. Besides finding a design that suits your style, a waterproof or water-resistant curtain may be the most important feature when shopping for the best fall shower curtain.
Design and patterns
As you look for a shower curtain that evokes your fondest fall memories, consider your personal design preferences as well as your existing bathroom decor. You can find fall-themed shower curtains in many different shades, prints and patterns. There are even seasonal shower curtains based on pop culture icons from big brand names. Consider how the curtain will fit within your existing color palette and patterns, then choose a seasonal curtain that complements what you already have.
Reinforced holes
Some shower curtains provide extra structure around the openings for hooks, such as sewn hems or metal grommets. If you’re decorating a high-traffic bathroom or just want to preserve your curtain for as long as possible, look for a seasonal shower curtain that has durable hook holes.
Water-resistance
While many shower curtains boast water-resistant capabilities, not all specialty shower curtains are made with longevity in mind. Seasonal shower curtains are more likely to use delicate fabrics to enhance the design since they won’t hang in your bathroom all year round. However, finding a shower curtain that fits your seasonal mood and resists water will help protect your curtain without demanding extra cleaning and maintenance.
How much you can expect to spend on a fall shower curtain
Most fall shower curtains cost $20-$70. More expensive shower curtains can cost up to $100 or more, depending on the unique designs, brand names, limited releases and materials.
Fall shower curtain FAQ
Do fall shower curtains come in sizes that fit shower stalls?
A. Potentially. Shower stalls are typically less wide than bathtubs, so you may need less material to cover them. Some fall shower curtains come in multiple sizes, so you can measure your space and choose the best size. Since these curtains are seasonal, many products only come in the standard size for bathtubs, so you may have to hang
Should I get a seasonal shower curtain made of polyester?
A. Yes, if you want a durable, water-resistant and easy-to-maintain curtain. Polyester offers many benefits for a seasonal shower curtain. It’s easy to clean and often machine-washable. You don’t need a plastic curtain liner, as polyester is already water-resistant and will perform well all by itself. It’s also fast-drying so you won’t need to worry about mold or mildew when you fold it up and tuck it away for the rest of the year.

NEW YORK (AP) — Leadoff man Aaron Judge singled twice during a six-run first inning off Corey Kluber as the New York Yankees started with seven straight hits for the first time since 1990 and routed the Tampa Bay Rays 10-3 Saturday.
Josh Donaldson homered early and Giancarlo Stanton connected late off a lob pitch as both players returned to the lineup and helped the AL East-leading Yankees move to 4 1/2 games ahead of Tampa Bay. New York also clinched the season head-to-head tiebreaker over the Rays should the teams finish even atop the division.
Judge, leading the majors with 55 home runs, hit three singles in raising his average to .307. He is the first Yankees player to reach base at least three times in seven straight games since Mickey Mantle in June 1957.
Judge also is the seventh Yankee to reach base at least three times in at least seven straight games. Besides Mantle, Babe Ruth did it in 1920, Lou Gehrig achieved it twice in 1936 and 1937, Tommy Henrich did it in 1938 and Joe DiMaggio along with Frank Crosetti achieved the feat in 1939.
“Obviously, every team’s a little bit different in how they attack and pitchers are a little bit different but we’ve seen teams in some cases really pitch around him and stay away from him,” manager Aaron Boone.
“The Rays tend to go after him a little bit more, but take what the game gives you. Mike Schmidt used to always say that to me when I was a kid,” said Boone, whose father, Bob, was a teammate of the Hall of Fame third baseman in Philadelphia.
Judge has reached base in 12 straight games, reaching base multiple times in 11 games. He also reached base at least three times for a major league-leading 41st time.
The Yankees opened a game with seven straight hits — all singles — for the first time since starting a 15-3 win over Baltimore with eight hits in a row on Sept. 25, 1990.
“It was just a collection of really good at-bats,” Boone said.
Judge’s RBI single with two outs in the first chased Kluber (10-8) after 32 pitches. It was the two-time Cy Young Award winner’s shortest career outing.
“Too many mistakes,” Kluber said.
Donaldson came back from the paternity list and hit an RBI single that bounced off the top of the fence in the first. After flipping his bat on the single, Donaldson homered in the second. He had missed four games following the birth of his daughter.
“Being home, being around my family going through that experience is pretty special and just really putting things in perspective and having that joy to come out here and play the game I love to play,” Donaldson said.
Stanton hit his 25th home run, connecting on a 47 mph lob from catcher Christian Bethancourt in the eighth. Stanton had been limited to pinch-hitting appearances in the previous two games since fouling a ball off his left foot in the sixth on Monday.
Stanton declared himself ready to play after texting Boone and snapped a 17-game homerless streak. He reached 25 homers for the ninth time in his career.
“Hey, they all count,” Stanton said of homering off a position player.
Stanton’s homer was his first extra-base hit in 55 at-bats since he homered and won the MVP award in the All-Star Game on July 19. He had missed a month with Achilles tendinitis since then.
New York starter Jameson Taillon (13-4) gave up three runs and six hits in 7 1/3 innings and got his 50th career win.
Judge led off the first with a single as the Yankees broke loose from the start. Rookie Oswaldo Cabrera hit a two-run single and scored on a grounder by Kyle Higashioka on New York’s first out of the game.
Wander Franco hit an RBI single and Harold Ramírez added a two-run single as Tampa Bay lost for the second time in 11 games.
Donaldson hit his 13th homer in the second. He stumbled home in the seventh on a wild pitch by Calvin Faucher.
HICKS’ FOLLOW UP
Struggling LF Aaron Hicks did not play after misplaying two flyballs in the fourth inning on Friday and getting pulled midgame.
Hicks didn’t catch balls hit by Franco and Randy Arozarena that led to run-scoring doubles.
On the Franco hit, the ball dropped out of his glove along the left-field foul line and Hicks initially thought he caught the ball and it was foul before reacting.
Boone said he was planned to have a conversation with Hicks, who struck out twice Friday and is hitting .211.
“You always got to get to that point where things I think are affecting you,” Boone said. “Kind of becoming that target. Hopefully this is something that you get to that point where you get through it and it doesn’t bother you, doesn’t get to you.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rays: LHP Shane McClanahan (left shoulder impingement) may throw a light session Sunday and is on track to return from the injured list when eligible next Thursday.
Yankees: 1B Anthony Rizzo (headaches from epidural injection) could start ramping up activities on Sunday. Rizzo’s could return by the end of the upcoming road trip. … RHP Luis Severino (strained right lat) will make another rehab start Thursday and could rejoin the rotation Sept. 21 against Pittsburgh. … LHP Aroldis Chapman (leg infection) will appear in rehab game for Double-A Somerset Sunday along with RHP Miguel Castro (strained right shoulder), OF Harrison Bader (right foot plantar fasciitis) and LHP Zack Britton (Tommy John surgery). … LHP Scott Effross (strained right shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday.
UP NEXT
Tampa Bay RHP Luis Patiño (1-1, 4.34) opposes New York RHP Domingo Germán (2-3, 3.27 ERA) Sunday.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — An emotional Harrison Ford appeared along with a new trailer for the fifth Indiana Jones film, cast members from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” showed footage from their forthcoming sequel, and trailers and details were unveiled from the widening TV presence of the “Star Wars” galaxy on Saturday at the D23 Expo.
An arena-sized audience gave a standing ovation to Ford, co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and director James Mangold after the trailer was shown at a presentation from Disney divisions Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios at the festival at the Anaheim Convention Center, next door to Disneyland.
“Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us,” the usually stoic Ford said, choking up at times. “I’m very proud to say to say that this one is fantastic.”
He pointed to Waller-Bridge and said, “this is one of the reasons.”
The 80-year-old Ford suggested this would be his last time donning the hat and holding the whip of one of the two characters that made him famous.
“This is it,” he said, as shouts of “no” came from the crowd. “I will not fall down for you again.”
The 37-year-old Waller-Bridge said Ford showed no signs of slowing down, saying “I had the time of my life making this movie,” and “keeping up with this guy is exhausting.”
The trailer shows Ford cracking that whip in front of a group of heavily armed henchmen with Waller-Bridge at his side.
The film, whose title has yet to be announced, is set for release on June 30, 2023. It also stars Mads Mikkelsen, Toby Jones and Antonio Banderas, and is the first in the franchise not directed by Steven Spielberg.
Angela Bassett and Winston Duke were among the cast members who presented part of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which is set for release on Nov. 11.
The sequence shows a team trying to steal some of the nation of Wakanda’s precious substance vibranium, and a Wakandan team beating them back.
It has not been clear how the film would deal with the death of the title star of the first film, Chadwick Boseman, who died of prostate cancer in 2020.
But the footage acknowledged that his character T’Challa had died, and suggests that his sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, might be the next Black Panther.
“We had to meet his level of excellence, and we did,” Bassett said.
Neither the “Indiana Jones” trailer nor the “Black Panther” footage were released outside of the convention hall.
Marvel also announced cast members of the forthcoming Phase 5 films from its cinematic universe, “Captain America: New World Order” and “Thunderbolts.”
Anthony Mackie will take up the familiar shield as Captain America in the movie slated for a May 2024 release, as he did at the end of the television series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and he’ll be joined by Tim Blake Nelson as central villain the Leader. Danny Ramirez and Shira Haas will play heroes alongside Mackie.
Marvel’s team of antiheroes “Thunderbolts” will include role reprisals from Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier and David Harbour as Red Guardian. Wyatt Russell and Julia Louis Dreyfus also appear in the film set to be released in July of 2024.
Pedro Pascal and the cast of “The Mandalorian” unveiled a trailer and new details for the series’ third season and Diego Luna did the same for the forthcoming series “Andor” as Lucasfilm and the “Star Wars” galaxy deepens its television presence with no big screens in sight.
“You are a Mandalorian no more,” Pascal’s title character is told in the trailer for the new season, a penalty for his having removed his helmet and showed his face.
The trailer shows the Mandalorian and his baby-Yoda sidekick Grogu zipping through space, and suggests an increased role for “Battlestar Galactica” star Katee Sackhoff and her character Bo-Katan Kryze, who first appeared in season two.
Carl Weathers and Giancarlo will both reprise their roles, and “Back to the Future” star Christopher Lloyd is joining the cast. The show is set to premiere in February.
In a different Lucasfilm galaxy, a trailer was unveiled for the forthcoming TV series “Willow,” based on the 1988 Ron Howard fantasy film. Christian Slater was announced as a cast member, and appeared live to talk about it.
“I love the fantasy, the sci-fi, just getting to be a part of this show was, I will be honest with you an absolute dream come true,” Slater said. “This was a very fun character.”
The character was described only as someone aiding in a quest who is a friend of Madmartigan, the rogue adventurer played by Val Kilmer in the film.
The trailer brings epic echoes of “Lord of the Rings,” with original “Willow” actor Warwick Davis leading a group of teen adventurers in cloaks on a magical mission.
All the shows will stream on Disney+.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — About nine years ago, Sarah Knowlton sought an abortion at a now-closed clinic in northern Indiana, where she encountered anti-abortion protestors as she approached the entrance.
Knowlton reflected on how that experience drove her in 2019 to Whole Woman’s Health, another abortion clinic in South Bend, to train workers to take patients safely to its doors, creating a resource she wished she had years ago.
But the program — and Knowlton’s work at the clinic — will end Sept. 15, when Indiana’s abortion ban comes into force, effectively closing down abortion clinics statewide.
Indiana’s Legislature became the first in the nation to approve abortion restrictions after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the ban into law Aug. 5.
The ban, which has exceptions, prohibits abortion clinics from providing any abortion care, leaving such services solely to hospitals or outpatient surgical centers owned by hospitals.
“My last shift as a clinic escort is coming up,” Knowlton said Wednesday. “And I’m not ready for it.”
At Indiana University Health, which is the state’s largest hospital system, providers have been training to continue offering abortion care in the allowed circumstances.
Under the new law, abortions will be permitted only in cases of rape and incest before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the patient; or if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly.
A doctor who performs an illegal abortion or who fails to file required reports must lose their medical license.
IU Health officials outlined a new 24/7 response team — which will include a clinician, an ethicist and a lawyer — that providers can contact to evaluate nuanced emergency situations.
“The law is broad,” said Dr. Caroline Rouse, medical director of maternity services at IU Health. “Patient situations are very specific and unique.”
Last year, the majority of abortions in Indiana happened in abortion clinics. Hospitals performed 133 of the state’s 8,414 abortions, according to a 2021 annual report from the state Department of Health, while the remaining 8,281 took place in abortion clinics.
The clinics in Indiana that will not be able provide abortion services on Sept. 15, include Whole Woman’s Health in South Bend, Women’s Med in Indianapolis, and Clinic for Women in Indianapolis.
The four Planned Parenthood clinics that provide abortion care in Indiana will do so no longer, but will continue to see patients for other medical services such as STI testing and treatment, contraception and cancer screenings, said Rebecca Gibron, CEO of the Planned Parenthood division that includes Indiana.
“Planned Parenthood has been a leading reproductive health care provider in Indiana since 1932. And we are not going anywhere,” Gibron told the AP in August.
Sharon Lau, Midwest Advocacy Director for Whole Woman’s Health Alliance, said that though the South Bend clinic will cease abortion care, patients can still access a program that directs patients to abortion appointments in other states.
“We will keep going until we’re forced not to,” she said.
Clinic for Women in Indianapolis declined to talk to The Associated Press.
Lau said her clinic’s plans could hinge on two lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana that seek to block the abortion ban before it takes effect.
The first lawsuit, filed Aug. 31 in a Monroe County, states the ban violates the Indiana Constitution, while the one filed Thursday in Marion County claims the ban is at odds with the state’s religious freedom law, which Republicans enacted seven years ago. The timing of both lawsuits is unclear.
Mike Fichter, Indiana Right to Life CEO, said in a statement that delaying the ban would mean “the indiscriminate killing of unborn children will continue at abortion clinics in Indiana.”
“We are confident the state will prevail and pray the new law is not blocked from going into effect,” he said.
Women’s Med will also stop providing abortions after the ban but continue referring patients to states where abortion is legal until about one month after, said Dr. Katie McHugh, an abortion provider at the clinic.
McHugh said she’s seen a shift in patient behavior since the Indiana ban was passed. While some are pursuing abortion earlier, others are choosing surgical over medication abortions to avoid complications, she said.
Other patients assume abortion is already illegal, “and yet they choose abortion anyway, if that can demonstrate the desperation that people feel,” McHugh said.
Knowlton said she worries for those patients who will put their health or lives at risk if they cannot get an abortion. She knows that feeling; it was her mindset nine years ago.
“I was going to find a way, come hell or high water, whether there was a clinic I was able to access or not,” Knowlton said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The man charged with abducting and killing a Tennessee teacher this month was a suspect in a 2021 kidnapping and sexual case, but his indictment over those allegations didn’t occur until Thursday because of the timing in testing his DNA.
Cleotha Henderson was rebooked at the Shelby County Jail on Friday on charges of aggravated rape, especially aggravated kidnapping and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Details of the newest allegations against Henderson were not immediately available.
The indictment came days after Henderson’s arrest in the death of Eliza Fletcher, a mother of two and a kindergarten teacher.
Fletcher disappeared while on a pre-dawn run near the University of Memphis campus on Sept. 2, and her remains were found Monday near an abandoned house. Henderson is being held in the Shelby County Jail without bond on the charges related to Fletcher’s death.
In the earlier case, Memphis police took a sexual assault report on Sept. 21, 2021, the department said in a statement Saturday. A sexual assault kit was submitted two days later to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the statement said.
“An official CODIS (national DNA database) hit was not received until after the unfortunate event that occurred on September 2, 2022,” the Memphis police statement said, referring to the jogger’s abduction. “Probable cause to make a physical arrest of any suspect did not exist until after the CODIS hit had been received.”
Memphis police provided no further details, citing “an ongoing criminal prosecution.” Henderson’s public defender could not be reached for comment Saturday.
The TBI confirmed Saturday that the sexual assault kit was submitted last Sept. 23.
The evidence was “put into the queue of unknown assailant kits, as no request was made for TBI analysis to be expedited, and no suspect information or DNA standard was included in the submission,” the TBI statement said.
The kit eventually was pulled from evidence storage along with 19 other kits for analysis this past June 24 and an initial report of the results was completed on Aug. 29, the TBI said.
When the 2021 DNA was entered into the national database, it returned a match for Henderson on Sept. 5, which the TBI reported to Memphis police, the TBI said.
The TBI accepts “rush DNA cases” when requested to do so by local law enforcement agencies, as was done in the Fletcher case, according to the TBI. Last weekend, Henderson was identified as the suspect “less than 18 hours after receiving key evidence, which was critical in his subsequent apprehension.”
“Because we rarely know the facts of the case when processing evidence, TBI relies on submitting agencies to identify cases that would benefit their investigation from our rush analysis,” the TBI statement said.
Henderson, who also has gone by the name Cleotha Abston, is charged with kidnapping and killing Fletcher, 34. Henderson is being held in the Shelby County Jail without bond on the charges stemming from Fletcher’s death.
Henderson was arrested after police detected his DNA on sandals found near the location where Fletcher was last seen, an arrest affidavit said.
A funeral for Fletcher was held Saturday.
Henderson, 38, previously served 20 years in prison for a kidnapping he committed at age 16.

Road Rage Victim Records Horrifying Incident in Broad Daylight, But Was in for a Bigger Shock When He Told Police About It
The victim of an apparent road rage incident in California is sharing the events that led to him staring down the barrel of another driver’s gun in broad daylight, and the shocking response he received from authorities when he reported the incident.
Dashcam video shows the driver approaching an intersection with a green light in Oakland and attempting to cross it before a white truck rolls in front of him, blocking the way.
After he honks at the truck, things take a violent turn as a man explodes from the pickup brandishing what appears to be a firearm. A gunshot can be heard as the driver flees the scene.
Watch the entire incident below.
“At first it looked like just his fist, but when he got out of the car I saw something that was underneath his fist,” the driver told KGO-TV. “I figured it’s got to be a hammer.”
The audible gunshot and a bullet hole left in the car indicate this was no hammer.
Despite the apparent brush with death and video evidence of the encounter, it quickly became clear that the driver’s nightmare would not end after attempting to file a police report.
“Apparently they have a way of doing things here that I’m not accustomed to,” he said.
“I called them two, three times. I figured they would want this information because there’s somebody out there and he’s going to hurt somebody.”
Upon further investigation, KGO found that Oakland police had only an incomplete report on the serious crime.
The department is reportedly looking into the matter, but the driver remains upset about authorities’ seeming lack of interest in the dangerous confrontation.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” he said. “I’m just trying to do my civic duty and let them know, like I’m supposed to do, and the process to me just seemed absurd.”
While the driver is struggling to find justice, he’s fortunate to have escaped the situation with his life. In heated moments such as this, deadly violence is always a possibility. For unsuspecting families on the road, the price can be devastating.
Just last year, a woman and her husband were traveling through North Carolina when they tried to change lines on Interstate 95. A driver in the other lane opened fire, killing the woman.
The terror didn’t just touch her and her husband, but left six children without a mother as well.
Not everyone in these violent incidents is made a victim by their attackers, however.
Months after the incident in North Carolina left an innocent mother dead, another gunman tried to intimidate a Texas family in an SUV.
The dad, driving the vehicle, tried to talk the armed man down but failed. Seeing no other option, he pulled his own pistol and left the suspect bleeding out on the road.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Darren McFadden and Felix Jones make for some serious company. Rocket Sanders can now say he’s there with those all-time Arkansas running backs.
The Razorbacks’ sophomore running back ran for a career-high 156 yards and two touchdowns in helping the No. 16 Razorbacks beat South Carolina 44-30 on Saturday.
Sanders joined McFadden, twice a Heisman Trophy finalist, and Jones, the player with the sixth-most yards rushing in school history, as the only three Arkansas players to run for 150 yards and two scores against the Gamecocks.
“Um, that’s good,” Sanders said after the game. He half-chuckled his next sentence.
“Of course I want to be better than those guys.”
Sanders ran for 578 yards and five touchdowns in his first season last year. With returning starter Dominique Johnson still sidelined recovering from a knee injury suffered in the Outback Bowl, Sanders has taken nearly all of the first-team reps. The result has been a 2-0 start for his team and him becoming the first Razorbacks player since 2019 with back-to-back 100-yard games.
Sanders scored the first two touchdowns of the game as Arkansas (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) found the end zone on each of its first three possessions against South Carolina and opened a 21-3 lead. The Gamecocks (1-1, 0-1) responded with two straight scores at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second to pull within 21-16.
Sanders wouldn’t score again as KJ Jefferson was the keystone for a bulk of the Razorbacks’ second-half touchdowns, but he ran for 95 of his 156 yards in the final 30 minutes.
Arkansas ran for 295 yards, and AJ Green and Rashod Dubinion also chipped in touchdowns.
“I was really proud of our offensive line. We asked them to kind of control the game and I felt like they did. I think the offensive line wore them down,” Pittman said.
Jefferson led a 14-play, 59-yard drive capped with his own 2-yard rushing touchdown at the start of the fourth quarter to move Arkansas back ahead by two scores. South Carolina lost a fumble on its next possession and Jefferson added a touchdown pass to Warren Thompson in response, ultimately putting the Gamecocks too far behind to rally.
Spencer Rattler tried. The Oklahoma transfer threw for 371 yards and a touchdown on 23 of 38 passing with a touchdown for South Carolina, but was intercepted in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter by Dwight McGlothern. The Gamecocks had three turnovers.
Jefferson was 18 of 21 passing for 162 yards and a touchdown. He ran for another 67 yards and the score on 19 carries.
“I thought he played better today than he did last week. I thought he was more accurate,” Pittman said. “I thought he was in total control. … He pretty much can take over the game when he wants to.”
Johnson is expected to return in Week 3 against Missouri State. He might find himself short on carries as Sanders’ development has put the sophomore in high company.
“I think he’s becoming an all-around back a little bit more,” Pittman said. “I thought he played really, really well. Two 100-yard days back-to-back is pretty good. He’s a better back than he was a year ago.”
THE TAKEAWAY
South Carolina: The Gamecocks had moments, but consistency was lacking in coach Shane Beamer’s second year.
Arkansas: The Razorbacks’ defense held up well without two starters in the secondary, including former freshman All-America safety Jalen Catalon.
A BIG LOSS IN A BIG WIN
Pittman said after the game that preseason All-SEC safety Jalen Catalon would miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury. Catalon was lost midway through Arkansas’ win over Cincinnati last week.
Catalon was a freshman All-American two seasons ago, but missed the back-half of the Razorbacks’ season last year because of a shoulder injury.
IT’S BEEN A WHILE
Arkansas’ win over South Carolina was the Razorbacks’ first since 2011. The teams had met only three times since before Saturday with the Gamecocks winning each.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Arkansas likely won’t do any worse than staying put at No. 16 when the polls are released Sunday.
UP NEXT
South Carolina: Hosts defending national champion Georgia in Week 3
Arkansas: Missouri State comes to town next week, lea by former Razorbacks head coach Bobby Petrino.

Hunter Dekkers' TD pass allows Iowa State to edge Iowa
Hunter Dekkers threw for 184 yards, and his 8-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Hutchinson lifted visiting Iowa State to a 10-7 win over Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, on Saturday.
Hutchinson caught 11 passes for 98 yards, and Jirehl Brock rushed 27 times for 100 yards as the Cyclones (2-0) ended a six-game losing streak to the Hawkeyes (1-1). It was also the first win for Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell over the in-state rival.
In a last-ditch drive, Iowa moved from its 27 to its 41 with 15 seconds left, and offsides and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on Iowa State advanced the ball to the 39 with nine seconds left. Spencer Petras found Sam Laporta with a 9-yard pass to get to the 30, but Aaron Blom's 48-yard field goal went wide left as time expired.
Iowa State dominated the game from scrimmage, leading in total yards 313-150 and first downs 20-11. It was Iowa's second poor offensive performance after they managed only 166 yards while barely winning its opener against FCS power South Dakota State.
Petras completed only 12 of 26 passes for 92 yards, and running back Leshon Williams had 34 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes.
Both teams missed scoring chances throughout the game.
The Cyclones broke through midway through the fourth quarter thanks to a monstrous drive. They went 99 yards and chewed up 11:49 off the clock over 21 plays before Dekkers found Hutchinson for the touchdown.
Hutchinson caught eight passes for 128 yards last week in Iowa State's rout of Southeast Missouri State.
The Cyclones' scoring series came after Iowa missed its own prime opportunity to take advantage of its second blocked punt, both of them by Lukas Van Ness.
The Hawkeyes started on the Iowa State 20-yard line and were on the 1 when Monte Pottebaum fumbled inches from the goal line, with Kendell Jackson making the recovery at the 1.
The Cyclones had their own goal-line frustration. In the second quarter, as they trailed 7-0, they drove 49 yards to the Iowa 1, but Brock was hit and stood up just shy of the end zone, and the ball caromed into the end zone, where Iowa's Logan Klemp made the recovery for a touchback.

(NEXSTAR) — You saw the signs posted at the entrances to businesses and taped near cash registers during the height of the coronavirus pandemic — some variation of: please use exact change due to the nationwide coin shortage.
Business and bank closures during the peak days of COVID caused a disruption on the circulation of coins — fewer transactions meant fewer coins were changing hands with many people opting to shop online or sit on their physical currency rather than deposit them. Additionally, supply chain issues and workforce shortages made it harder for the government to obtain the raw materials to produce more coins.
Fast forward to now, more than two years after the world shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, many of those signs are still standing, pleading with customers to count out their exact total to keep coins in circulation.
But are those signs still necessary? Is there still a shortage of coins across the country?
The short answer: no. At least not right now.
According to the Federal Reserve, in June 2020, a cap was imposed on coin orders to ensure that “the supply was fairly distributed.” That cap was eventually lifted, but was reinstated in May of 2021 because people still weren’t circulating coins at pre-pandemic levels. Consumers were urged to pay with coins to get them back into circulation or even get them exchanged at banks and kiosk machines.
But now, in the waning days of the summer of ’22, there’s no cap on coin orders and the United States Mint is operating at full capacity to produce more coins. In 2020, the Mint produced 14.8 billion coins, a 24% increase from 2019, according to the Fed.
Public service announcements encouraging Americans to use their coins appears to have worked, and consumers are out and about spending again.
However, a 2021 report by a task force charged with finding solutions to the coin shortage, found that consumer cash spending remains somewhat unpredictable. Shoppers have changed the way they buy things since the pandemic began and it’s unclear if they’ll ever return to previous levels of cash usage, which was already declining prior to COVID.
That same report said the Fed and the Mint would be working with an outside consultant to review supply chain issues and come up with solutions to prevent future coin shortages. The results of that monthslong assignment is still pending.
Even without those results, the Fed apparently seems to believe that the worst is over.
“As the economy recovers and businesses reopen, more coins will flow back into retail and banking channels and eventually into the Federal Reserve, which should allow for the further rebuilding of coin inventories available for recirculation,” the Fed’s website reads.
So if you see the signs at your local convenience store or bodega, don’t panic if you don’t have exact change. You (hopefully) already did you part.

Visa, Mastercard, AmEx to start categorizing gun shop sales
NEW YORK (AP) — Payment processor Visa Inc. said Saturday that it plans to start separately categorizing sales at gun shops, a major win for gun control advocates who say it will help better track suspicious surges of gun sales that could be a prelude to a mass shooting.
But the decision by Visa, the world’s largest payment processor, will likely provoke the ire of gun rights advocates and gun lobbyists, who have argued that categorizing gun sales would unfairly flag an industry when most sales do not lead to mass shootings. It joins Mastercard and American Express, which also said they plan to move forward with categorizing gun shop sales.
Visa said it would adopt the International Organization for Standardization’s new merchant code for gun sales, which was announced on Friday. Until Friday, gun store sales were considered “general merchandise.”
“Following ISO’s decision to establish a new merchant category code, Visa will proceed with next steps, while ensuring we protect all legal commerce on the Visa network in accordance with our long-standing rules,” the payment processor said in a statement.
Visa’s adoption is significant as the largest payment network, and with Mastercard and AmeEx, will likely put pressure on the banks as the card issuers to adopt the standard as well. Visa acts as a middleman between merchants and banks, and it will be up to banks to decide whether they will allow sales at gun stores to happen on their issued cards.
Gun control advocates had gained significant wins on this front in recent weeks. New York City officials and pension funds had pressured the ISO and banks to adopt this code.
Two of the country’s largest public pension funds, in California and New York, have been pressing the country’s largest credit card firms to establish sales codes specifically for firearm-related sales that could flag suspicious purchases or more easily trace how guns and ammunition are sold.
Merchant category codes now exist for almost every kind of purchase, including those made at supermarkets, clothing stores, coffee shops and many other retailers.
“When you buy an airline ticket or pay for your groceries, your credit card company has a special code for those retailers. It’s just common sense that we have the same policies in place for gun and ammunition stores,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain who blames the proliferation of guns for his city’s deadly violence.
The city’s comptroller, Brad Lander, said it made moral and financial sense as a tool to push back against gun violence.
“Unfortunately, the credit card companies have failed to support this simple, practical, potentially lifesaving tool. The time has come for them to do so,” Lander said recently, before Visa and others had adopted the move.
Lander is a trustee of the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, Teachers’ Retirement System and Board of Education Retirement System — which together own 667,200 shares in American Express valued at approximately $92.49 million; 1.1 million shares in MasterCard valued at approximately $347.59 million; and 1.85 million shares in Visa valued at approximately $363.86 million.
The pension funds and gun control advocates argue that creating a merchant category code for standalone firearm and ammunition stores could aid in the battle against gun violence. A week before the mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where 49 people died after a shooter opened fire in 2016, the assailant used credit cards to buy more than $26,000 worth of guns and ammunition, including purchases at a stand-alone gun retailer.
Gun rights advocates argue that tracking sales at gun stores would unfairly target legal gun purchases, since merchant codes just track the type of merchant where the credit or debit card is used, not the actual items purchased. A sale of a gun safe, worth thousands of dollars and an item considered part of responsible gun ownership, could be seen as a just a large purchase at a gun shop.
“The (industry’s) decision to create a firearm specific code is nothing more than a capitulation to anti-gun politicians and activists bent on eroding the rights of law-abiding Americans one transaction at a time,” said Lars Dalseide, a spokesman for the National Rifle Association.
Over the years, public pension funds have used their extensive investment portfolios to influence public policy and the market place.
The California teacher’s fund, the second largest pension fund in the country, has long taken aim on the gun industry. It has divested its holdings from gun manufacturers and has sought to persuade some retailers from selling guns.
Four years ago, the teacher’s fund made guns a key initiative. It called for background checks and called on retailers “monitor irregularities at the point of sale, to record all firearm sales, to audit firearms inventory on a regular basis, and to proactively assist law enforcement.”

CRESTWOOD, Mo. (KTVI) — Pikachu can’t help with this one. A man in Missouri is facing three felony charges — after police say he stole over $12,000 in Pokémon cards and other merchandise from a gaming store.
St. Louis County prosecutors charged Nicholas Garrison, 24, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, with second-degree burglary, stealing $750 or more and property damage from Yeti Gaming in Crestwood, Missouri. The burglary happened on Oct. 10, 2021.
Crestwood Police said that the items stolen included the thousands of dollars of items related to the Japanese franchise. During the burglary, windows and display cases, officers said. Property damages are estimated at $2,000.
Blood droplets inside the store were a DNA match to a known DNA sample of the defendant, according to officials. Garrison reportedly admitted to authorities that he entered the store illegally and took the merchandise because he needed money, per court documents.
Garrison is jailed on a $50,000 cash-only bond.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Cameron Rising threw for 254 yards in the first half, Dalton Kincaid had 107 yards receiving and two touchdowns and No. 13 Utah routed Southern Utah 73-7 on Saturday.
Coming off an opening loss last week at Florida, Utah scored on nine consecutive drives, including eight touchdowns, over the final three quarters against the FCS Thunderbirds (1-1). The Utes had 599 yards of total offense.
As six-touchdown underdogs, the Thunderbirds weren’t afraid of taking some risks. They started the game with an unsuccessful onside kick that led to a 13-yard touchdown run by Tavion Thomas.
Southern Utah got a break when Thomas fumbled later in the first quarter and Rodrick Ward recovered. On the next play, Grady Robison tied it at 7 on a quarterback draw that went for 28 yards. Utah didn’t allow any gains of 10 yards or more the rest of the game.
Thomas scored on another touchdown run early in the second quarter. Utah then turned a fourth-down stop of the plucky Thunderbirds into a field goal and a diving interception by Junior Tafuna into Chris Curry's TD run.
Rising unleashed more of Utah’s vertical passing game, which was absent against Florida, and capped the first half with three touchdown passes to the Utes’ prolific tight ends — two to Kincaid and one to Brant Kuithe. Utah gained 250 yards of offense in the second quarter.
On the first possession of the second half, R.J. Hubert took an interception 39 yards for a touchdown. With the huge lead, most of Utah’s stars watched the rest of the game from the sideline.
The Ute defense held the Thunderbirds to 85 total yards despite scoring quickly throughout the game. The blowout marked Utah’s highest-scoring game since beating UTEP 82-6 in 1973.
THE TAKEAWAY
Southern Utah: The Thunderbirds were overmatched at every position but had a nice moment when they tied it in the first quarter. After two seasons with only two wins, the Thunderbirds are rebuilding and were helpless to stop the Utes once they got rolling.
Utah: Despite a turnover, nine penalties and some missed assignments, almost everything the Utes tried was successful in spades. The starters were able to rest and some of backups had a chance to show their talents in front of a sun-drenched home crowd.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Utah tumbled out of the top 10 after the Florida loss, but should maintain its position.
COMING HOME
Longtime NFL players Eric Weddell and Chris Kemoeatu were honored as part of this year’s University of Utah Athletics Hall of Fame class.

Southern Utah: At Western Illinois next Saturday.
Utah: Hosts San Diego State next Saturday night.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — More than 10,000 residents lost power Wednesday in Virginia Beach after a squirrel got into a substation, according to Dominion Energy. Although power was restored, the squirrel is not believed to have survived after getting into a substation and causing the outage.
While these bushy tailed tree climbers are cute and relatively harmless, it’s not all that uncommon for them to cause electrical problems.
Entergy, a New Orleans-based energy company operating in the southern U.S., reported 15,000 of the 22,000 animal-related power outages in its Mississippi service area. The company said squirrels are its “undisputed” top animal offender, easily outpacing outages caused by raccoons (over 600 outages) and birds (1,200 outages).
Meanwhile, Unitil, a utility company serving over 107,000 in the northeast U.S., says squirrels cause an average of 8.5% of its outages each year. Unitil says since the animals use power lines for travel, it’s easy for them to inadvertently cause electrical trouble.
“When a squirrel climbs onto an electrical transformer, it may cross the bare wire that leads from the high-voltage line to the transformer,” Unitil said in a May blog. “If it were to simultaneously touch this wire and a part of the transformer with sufficient electrical ground, an electrical short can cause both a power outage and the electrocution of the animal.”
So even though squirrel outages may seem rare, at any given time, one or more of them may be wreaking havoc on a power line. Of the many places blacked out by squirrels are airports, a Veterans Affairs medical center and even the NASDAQ, the New York Times reports.
Outage-by-squirrel are more likely to happen in May, June and October, since Unitil says about 48% of all animal-related outages happen during these months.

SLOVIANSK, Ukraine (AP) — It’s at night that residents of the eastern Ukrainian city of Sloviansk are most afraid, when rocket and artillery attacks happen more frequently. Shells and rockets slam into gardens and apartment buildings, sending chunks of masonry and shards of glass hurtling through the darkness.
Little more than 11 kilometers (7 miles) southwest of the front line and within artillery range of Russian forces, Sloviansk has sustained increasingly frequent attacks. The city is considered a strategic target in Moscow’s ambition to seize all of Donetsk province, a largely Russian-speaking area in eastern Ukraine that makes up part of the Donbas, Ukraine’s industrial heartland.
On Wednesday, firefighters sifted through the still-smoldering rubble of an apartment building, looking for possible victims after a predawn strike collapsed part of the structure. After hours of searching, using a crane to remove slabs of concrete and reach down to the basement, they emerged with a white body bag. Relatives waiting anxiously nearby said they were also searching for an elderly couple who lived on the third floor.
“What is happening now is not just scary, it’s gruesome,” said 75-year-old Raisa Smielkova, who lives in another part of the same building and whose apartment suffered only minor damage. This war, she said, is worse than the previous one in 2014, when Ukrainian forces battled Russian-backed separatists. “There is more destruction. Everything is worse. Just everything.”
Relying on their pensions to survive, she and her husband can’t afford to move away to a safer part of Ukraine, Smielkova said.
“If we get killed, we get killed, what can I do?,” she said. “Some are saying to me: are not you afraid? And I answer: Of course I’m afraid. Only the fools are not afraid, the rest are afraid just like me.”
Just over 24 hours earlier in another part of the city, the force of the blast from another strike threw 92-year-old Maria Ruban out of bed and onto the floor. She doesn’t remember how long she lay there, alone and helpless, covered in dust.
“I lost consciousness and there was nobody around, nobody could help me,” she said, recounting her ordeal through heavy sighs and some tears. She eventually picked herself up but couldn’t get out of the house – the force of the blast had warped the door shut.
Ruban has lived in her small house in the southern part of Sloviansk since 1957. Now 92, she survived both World War II and the Ukrainian war of 2014. But she said this war is like she’s never experienced before.
“I have lived through everything, even starvation. But I have never seen anything like this, like what happened today,” she said, standing in her garden with help from a rough wooden cane. Behind her, relatives and neighbors hammered plastic sheeting over her damaged roof and picked twisted chunks of shrapnel out of her tomato plant beds to the distant sound of pounding artillery.
It had been around midnight on Monday night when Ruban lay down and covered herself with a duvet. “I thought: ‘now they will start their attacks,’ because they attack at this time,” she said. She wasn’t wrong.
Now she worries about how she’ll make it through Ukraine’s bitterly cold winter, with a damaged roof and blasted-out windows.
“Oh God, please help me so the roof can be covered for the winter,” she cried. “Who knows how long I will live for.” Ruban had lost her windows to explosions in the 2014 war too, she said. “All I know is repairs, to live and to repair.”
Across the street, a projectile struck a neighbor’s yard, leveling his home and damaging several other residences. The neighbor, who didn’t want to give his name, had been sleeping next to a window in a front room. His roof was blasted away, his walls crumbled and an apple tree in his front garden was blown clear across the street. But he escaped without so much as a scratch.
Taking a break from digging through the rubble to find his identity documents, he peered into the large crater where his front garden used to be, the bottom filled with water from overnight rainfall.
He had been thinking of planting potatoes this year, he said wryly, but now perhaps he should turn to raising fish instead.

ATLANTA — For nearly four years, the iconic Trap Music Museum has served as a music landmark in the south.
The one-of-a-kind, interactive experience is known to attract large crowds of hip-hop music enthusiasts who line up to see Atlanta's music legacy preserved with memorabilia, an escape room and art carefully selected that reflects the timeline of the emergence of trap music.
The showcases in the museum on Travis Street in Atlanta's Westside display the evolution of the subgenre and its impact on the entire music industry.
Atlanta’s very own rapper T.I. and his creative team envisioned the space and converted it into an art gallery with a variety of exhibits.
"We want to educate as much as entertain," T.I. said. "We want to make sure that people know where trap music came from."
The museum's art curator, Adlia Halim, said the space preserves the legacy of the music and its impact on Atlanta's culture.
“Atlanta’s like an art renaissance right now. Black art is so important right now,” Halim said. “We’re documenting history. Atlanta is so important to the culture.”
The museum’s popularity has grown nationwide. Music lovers from all over the country make a pitstop at what is now a prominent tourist destination.
“We were the first of its kind," Halim said. "There’s a story that we're telling that people want to hear. We're speaking to a lot of people through what we do and what we've created."
Halim said the museum's message is bigger than the music. She said the site's appeal is a come-up story that connects with the very community the music is generated from.
Simply put, Halim said, “Art heals. It is a way of expression. It is an art form."
The Trap Music Museum held its grand opening in September 2018.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Southern California welcomed cooler temperatures and spotty rain Saturday as a tropical storm veered off the Pacific Coast and faded, helping put an end to a blistering heat wave that nearly overwhelmed the state’s electrical grid.
Thunderstorms were forecast for the Los Angeles region Saturday that could linger in mountainous areas on Sunday. But after Hurricane Kay made landfall in Mexico this week it quickly was downgraded to a tropical storm and weakened further until it largely disappeared, said John Dumas, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Oxnard, adding the scattered rain falling in the region is leftover moisture from a has-been storm.
“Is the worst of it over? Yes,” Dumas said.
In Southern California, cooler temperatures and moisture brought respite to firefighters battling the massive Fairview Fire about 75 miles (121 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles after sweltering heat pushed temperatures past 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) in many locations this week.
The blaze has destroyed two dozen structures and threatened more than 10,000 homes and other structure. But firefighters have made progress and said they expected full containment on Monday.

Fire officials warned, however, that Northern California communities are still at risk for a heat wave and wildfire conditions and there is the potential for lightning Sunday in the Northern Sierra. In the foothills east of Sacramento, the Mosquito Fire spread to nearly 53 square miles (137 square kilometers) Saturday, threatening more than 5,000 structures in Placer and El Dorado counties and blanketing the region in smoke.
“We’re not seeing a corresponding drop in fire activity at this point,” Cal Fire Battalion Chief Issac Sanchez said.
The National Weather Service forecast an end to the grueling heat wave in the Los Angeles area Saturday. A flood watch remained in effect in mountainous areas previously charred by wildfires through the end of the day, and there was the potential for coastal flooding because of high surf, Dumas said.
Officials in Southern California's coastal cities posted warning signs and made sandbags available to residents fearing flooding. Minor flooding was reported in a beach parking lot and some local roads in parched desert communities around Palm Springs. In Los Angeles, about 28,000 customers were reported Saturday to have lost power, with more than half restored by the afternoon, according to the city's department of water and power.
Some mountain communities east of San Diego reported several inches of rain by early Saturday, while low-lying coastal areas saw less than an inch.
In Orange County's Huntington Beach, it was hot, muggy and drizzling Saturday as Aaron French, 30, played disc golf with friends. A midday breeze made playing more comfortable after a week of stifling heat and humidity.
“It’s been a wild, wild week of weather,” French said, while sending a disc whizzing through the unusually quiet park. “You just kind of have to accept the weather is the weather and live your life regardless of what is going on.”
September already has produced one of the hottest and longest heat waves on record for California and some other Western states. Nearly 54 million people were under heat warnings and advisories across the region this week as temperature records were shattered in many areas.
California’s state capital of Sacramento hit an all-time high Tuesday of 116 degrees (46.7 C), breaking a 97-year-old record. The state set a record for power consumption Tuesday as air conditioners whirred amid the heat and authorities nearly instituted rolling blackouts when the electrical grid capacity was at its breaking point.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in state history.
And the rest of the West hasn't been immune. There were 18 large fires burning in Oregon and Washington Saturday, leading to evacuations and targeted power outages in Oregon as the challenge of dry and windy conditions continued in the region. According to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, there are nearly 406 square miles (1,051 square kilometers) of active, uncontained fires and nearly 5,000 people on the ground fighting them in the two states.
California firefighters said Saturday they have so far been unable to corral any part of the Mosquito Fire, which has prompted evacuations in communities including Foresthill and Georgetown.
Jonathan Richards, a church pastor, told the San Francisco Chronicle he moved to Georgetown a year and a half ago aware that wildfires had charred mountain communities, but didn't want to think about it happening when he got the dreaded evacuation message this week. He took his two dogs and a cat but said he left behind nine chickens because he didn't have a way to transport them.
"You never dream that it’ll find your little area of paradise," he said.
The fire has covered a large portion of the region with smoke. California health officials urged people in affected areas to stay indoors where possible. Organizers of the Tour de Tahoe canceled the annual 72-mile (115-km) bicycle ride scheduled Sunday around Lake Tahoe because of the heavy smoke from the blaze — more than 50 miles (80 km) away. Last year’s ride was canceled because of smoke from another big fire south of Tahoe.
The Mosquito Fire’s cause remained under investigation. Pacific Gas & Electric said unspecified “electrical activity” occurred close in time to the report of the fire on Tuesday.

Following bomb threats at two schools, local Prosecutor warns of harsh penalty
By Katrenia Busch
Click here for updates on this story
BURTON, Michigan (WNEM) — Following two bomb threats at two schools in Burton, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton says police are looking to identify the culprits.
“A lot of kids just think it’s funny, some kids want to get out of taking a test, for whatever reason it’s still a crime,” Leyton said.
The first bomb threat was made over the phone on Sept. 7 at Dillon Elementary School, in the Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools district.
The second was made toward Atherton High School, in the Atherton Community Schools district on Sept. 8, after students reported receiving messages of a bomb threat.
Law enforcement was dispatched to both schools, and no credible threats were found.
“It’s a very serious felony crime to false report of domestic terrorism punishable by up to 20 years in prison,” Leyton said.
Police are still going to try to track down the suspect(s) who made the threat.
“Since school started there has been a number of false reports of bomb threats and that concerns me greatly,” Leyton said.
“There’s a lot of copycat crimes that go on, one kids sees another kid do it and they do it,” Leyton said. “A lot of kids just think it’s funny, some kids want to get out of taking a test, for whatever reason it’s still a crime.”
Leyton states that his office will throw the book at any offender, and he says not only will culprits face serious criminal charges, but also be facing severe punishment from the school.
“Some of the students who get caught are expelled from school, some are suspended that’s up to the school district,” Leyton said. “But every one of them gets prosecuted in Genesee County.”

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Tra Fluellen returned an interception for a score on the first play from scrimmage, Frank Peasant ran for a pair of 1-yard touchdowns in the second quarter and Middle Tennessee never trailed as the Blue Raiders beat Colorado State 34-19 Saturday.
Peasant finished with 22 carries for 93 yards. Chase Cunningham completed 31 of 39 passes for 266 yards, including a 42-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Metcalf that gave Middle Tennessee (1-1) a 34-0 lead with 13:41 left in the third quarter.
Zeke Rankin made a 25-yard field goal in the first quarter and kicked a 35-yarder that gave the Blue Raiders a 20-0 lead with 2:20 left in the second. Christian Dixon’s strip-sack of Colorado State’s Clay Millen was recovered at 18 and three plays later Peasant’s second TD run make it 27-0 at halftime.
Millen was 20-of-30 passing for 256 yards and three touchdowns — all to Tory Holton — but threw two interceptions and was sacked nine times. Horton finished with nine receptions for 186 yards, including scoring receptions of 48, 69 and 17 yards in the third quarter for Colorado State (0-2).

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

The Kentucky State Police Pikeville Post welcomes back two retired troopers. The Kentucky State Police Trooper R program has enabled troopers who have retired to return and serve their communities once again.
Trooper Ronald Peppi retired with the rank of sergeant in 2019 from KSP’s DESI branch. Peppi is a Floyd county native and has returned to serve his community in his home county.
Trooper Shaun Little retired with the rank of sergeant in 2020 from KSP Post 9 where he served many roles including trooper, public affairs officer and sergeant. Little resides in Floyd county where he says he is happy to be back out patrolling.
KSP Post 9 Capt. Randal Surber said he is excited to welcome the troopers back to Pikeville.
“Both these men bring with them knowledge and experience which is irreplaceable. Along with helping manpower, these troopers will be able to serve as mentors to the newer troopers who will look to them for guidance and knowledge,” Surber said. “I know they are excited to get back to work and continue serving their community. ”

Top GOP Lawyer Drops Bomb on Tucker Carlson - Alleges DOJ Illegally Leaking Information
A top Republican lawyer told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Friday that the FBI has served multiple supporters of former President Donald Trump with warrants or subpoenas.
“The truth is that a few days ago, a political reporter called several people and said, ‘Hey, have you heard or been served yet? The FBI will be serving 50 approximately search warrants or subpoenas on Trump supporters,’ and then, you know, within 24 hours of that, two of our clients, three of our clients actually did either get search warrants or subpoenas, and the subpoenas are extremely broad,” Harmeet Dhillon of the Dhillon Law Group told Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman posted a link to her article about the searches on Twitter. Two of Trump’s top political advisors, Brian Jack and Stephen Miller, were among those served, according to The New York Times.

They ask for all communications dating from a month before the election until a month – two months after the election,” Dhillon continued. “They ask for all communications regarding dozens of people, and the categories are alternate electors, fundraising around irregularities around the election, and also a rally that happened before the Jan. 6 situation at the Capitol.”
Dhillon slammed the Justice Department, claiming it was seeking to “instill fear” into supporters of the former president.
“Most of this activity, if not all of it, is protected by the First Amendment and the United States Department of Justice is telling reporters about the search warrants and subpoenas before they’re executed. There’s no other explanation for this, and I think the reason for this is to instill fear into Donald Trump supporters and into those who would challenge election irregularities right before an upcoming election, Tucker. This is really outrageous abuse by the DOJ and it is illegal for the DOJ to leak this information to the media, Tucker,” Dhillon said.
Republicans criticized the Justice Department and FBI after the Aug. 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate owned by Trump, calling it an “abuse of power” by the Biden administration.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Steve Bannon Has Message for 'Every Conservative in America' After Surrendering to Authorities
Steve Bannon, a former strategist for President Donald Trump, turned himself in to authorities and pleaded not guilty to charges of money laundering and conspiracy on Thursday.
Bannon has been accused of laundering contributions to a fundraiser to build a wall on the southern U.S. border, according to Fox News. He was charged with six counts of money laundering in the second degree, scheme to defraud in the first degree, and conspiracy in the fourth and fifth degrees.
After voluntarily surrendering himself to New York law enforcement, Bannon was perp-walked and paraded through the halls of a Manhattan courthouse. He used the moment to send a message.
“For every conservative in America, this is what happens in the last days of a dying regime. They will never shut me up. They’ll have to kill me first,” Bannon said as he was escorted past members of the media.

Bannon, who hosts the “War Room” podcast, condemned the charges against him in a statement.
“Just days after being swatted three different times by deranged thugs from New York City inspired by the Biden Administration to assassinate me by police, the [George] Soros-backed DA has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election because WarRoom is the major source of the MAGA grassroots movement,” he said.
“This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system,” Bannon added.
“They are coming after all of us, not only President Trump and myself. I am never going to stop fighting. In fact, I have not yet begun to fight. They will have to kill me first.”
According to the indictment against Bannon, the Southern District of New York alleges that Bannon and an unnamed co-conspirator used the “We Build the Wall” fundraiser to funnel money through “various third party entities” to the CEO of the organization, despite the CEO publicly promising that he would not be compensated.
The indictment says “We Build the Wall” garnered over $15 million.
Fox reported that Bannon was released after his court appearance on no cash bail and ordered to surrender his passport.
In a Friday appearance on “The Charlie Kirk Show,” Bannon said there were “thirty-five FBI raids yesterday” on prominent Trump supporters. “The jackbooted Gestapo has got to show up at their door and make a big display of this,” he said.
BOMBSHELL — Steve Bannon broke news that at least 35 Raids were conducted yesterday against Trump allies across the country.

Daniel Craig says 'very lucky' to work with Queen Elizabeth
By Jenna Zucker
Sept 10 (Reuters) - At the "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" world premiere, Daniel Craig said he was "very lucky" to have worked with Queen Elizabeth, who died on Thursday.
"I was just very lucky to be part of something, the Olympics, and to get to work with her on something that I think a lot of people enjoyed and liked and laughed at," Craig said on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Writer-director Rian Johnson thanked a different majesty, the "queen of murder mysteries Agatha Christie," of whom he said every part of the series drew inspiration.
"Knives Out" grossed more than $300 million at the worldwide box office, proving fans were excited by Johnson's take on a whodunit. Johnson said he hopes to "scratch the same itch" with the sequel.
"It feels current, it feels now. It deals with issues we're dealing with day-to-day," said producer Ram Bergman. "Studios and filmmakers, for whatever reason, thought no one was interested (in the genre), but actually people are."
"Glass Onion" follows a similar formula as Southern detective Benoit Blanc (Craig) sets out to solve a new mystery, this time on a Greek island. In Greece, Craig encounters a group of quirky characters played by stars including Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, Edward Norton, Leslie Odom Jr. and Janelle Monáe.
The stars were tight-lipped about the plot, not wanting to divulge any spoilers, but Kate Hudson said she very much enjoyed playing her character Birdie Jay.
"It was like putting on a different skin and I really loved every second of it." (Reporting by Jenna Zucker; Editing by Daniel Wallis)

NEW YORK — Payment processor Visa Inc. said late Saturday that it plans to start separately categorizing sales at gun shops, a major win for gun control advocates who say it will help better track suspicious surges of gun sales that could be a prelude to a mass shooting.
But the decision by Visa, the world's largest payment processor, will likely provoke the ire of gun rights advocates and gun lobbyists, who have argued that categorizing gun sales would unfairly flag an industry when most sales do not lead to mass shootings. It joins Mastercard and American Express, which also said they plan to move forward with categorizing gun shop sales.
Visa said it would adopt the International Organization for Standardization’s new merchant code for gun sales, which was announced on Friday. Until Friday, gun store sales were considered “general merchandise.”
“Following ISO’s decision to establish a new merchant category code, Visa will proceed with next steps, while ensuring we protect all legal commerce on the Visa network in accordance with our long-standing rules,” the payment processor said in a statement.
Visa’s adoption is significant as the largest payment network, and with Mastercard and AmeEx, will likely put pressure on the banks as the card issuers to adopt the standard as well. Visa acts as a middleman between merchants and banks, and it will be up to banks to decide whether they will allow sales at gun stores to happen on their issued cards.
Gun control advocates had gained significant wins on this front in recent weeks. New York City officials and pension funds had pressured the ISO and banks to adopt this code.
Two of the country's largest public pension funds, in California and New York, have been pressing the country's largest credit card firms to establish sales codes specifically for firearm-related sales that could flag suspicious purchases or more easily trace how guns and ammunition are sold.
Merchant category codes now exist for almost every kind of purchase, including those made at supermarkets, clothing stores, coffee shops and many other retailers.
“When you buy an airline ticket or pay for your groceries, your credit card company has a special code for those retailers. It’s just common sense that we have the same policies in place for gun and ammunition stores,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain who blames the proliferation of guns for his city's deadly violence.
The city's comptroller, Brad Lander, said it made moral and financial sense as a tool to push back against gun violence.
“Unfortunately, the credit card companies have failed to support this simple, practical, potentially lifesaving tool. The time has come for them to do so," Lander said recently, before Visa and others had adopted the move.
Lander is a trustee of the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, Teachers’ Retirement System and Board of Education Retirement System — which together own 667,200 shares in American Express valued at approximately $92.49 million; 1.1 million shares in MasterCard valued at approximately $347.59 million; and 1.85 million shares in Visa valued at approximately $363.86 million.
The pension funds and gun control advocates argue that creating a merchant category code for standalone firearm and ammunition stores could aid in the battle against gun violence. A week before the mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where 49 people died after a shooter opened fire in 2016, the assailant used credit cards to buy more than $26,000 worth of guns and ammunition, including purchases at a stand-alone gun retailer.
Gun rights advocates argue that tracking sales at gun stores would unfairly target legal gun purchases, since merchant codes just track the type of merchant where the credit or debit card is used, not the actual items purchased. A sale of a gun safe, worth thousands of dollars and an item considered part of responsible gun ownership, could be seen as a just a large purchase at a gun shop.
“The (industry's) decision to create a firearm specific code is nothing more than a capitulation to anti-gun politicians and activists bent on eroding the rights of law-abiding Americans one transaction at a time,” said Lars Dalseide, a spokesman for the National Rifle Association.
Over the years, public pension funds have used their extensive investment portfolios to influence public policy and the market place.
The California teacher's fund, the second largest pension fund in the country, has long taken aim on the gun industry. It has divested its holdings from gun manufacturers and has sought to persuade some retailers from selling guns.
Four years ago, the teacher's fund made guns a key initiative. It called for background checks and called on retailers “monitor irregularities at the point of sale, to record all firearm sales, to audit firearms inventory on a regular basis, and to proactively assist law enforcement.”

(NewsNation) — Videos aimed at desperate migrants are making their way across social media platforms, including TikTok.
One in particular shows a user telling Venezuelans they can migrate to the U.S. without getting a visa.
“It broke my heart because you can see the hope coming through in these comments,” Adriana Rivera, who works for the Florida Immigrant Coalition, told NewsNation’s “Rush Hour” on Friday.
Rivera called the claims in these videos outrageous, noting that the videos have now been seen and shared tens of thousands of times. Rivera went on to note that the U.S. already faces an overwhelming situation at its borders. She questioned whether the videos are part of an operation “by bad actors who are just looking to create chaos and confusion.”
This fiscal year alone, there have been more than 2.2 million migrant encounters — up more than 200,000 from the year before.
Allen Orr, the immediate past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, told “Rush Hour” on Friday that the videos are in bad taste.
“It happens over and over again in these countries that have a lot of internal turmoil and that have constant migration to the (U.S.) southern border,” Orr said.
“I think these videos add to the desperation of the economic affairs around the world and the desperation that people have to come here,” Orr said.
Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acknowledged the spread of disinformation can affect border security.
Misinformation aimed at migrants was something the Disinformation Governance Board was set to tackle, before the DHS formally terminated the board last month but the unchecked videos keep popping up, followed by likes, shares, and often shared to migrants at the U.S. border.
“Think about it, if you are trying to leave Venezuela in the state that this country is in and you see a video telling you visas are going to be given out … if you’re desperate, and these people are desperate, what are you going to do what are you going to think? It’s just bad all around,” Rivera said.

“Forced confinement, unfair unjust confinement made me feel a loss of dignity...” said human rights activist Teesta Setalvad, 60, who was granted bail by the Supreme Court last week after she was incarcerated in Sabarmati women’s jail for 63 days. She was arrested by the Gujarat Anti Terrorism Squad in a case of alleged forgery and preparation of false records after Godhra riots, a day after the apex court gave a clean chit to then Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the riots. Ms. Setalvad talks about the condition of her barrack with 24 other women and seven children, and all the labour that women had to do inside the cell.
What was your routine like in prison?
The day would start around 5.30 a.m., half an hour before the barrack would open; the matrons would do their rounds to shake us awake with a call. Then, I would roll up the floor bedding, do the morning routine that included a half-hour to forty-minute walk. It was then time for the rotational barrack clean up, tea and maybe some nibbles from the “jail nasta”. Then, I would go to the library, which was rarely open and would shut at 12 noon. The day crawled as I tried to pack it with lots of reading and writing and it was difficult to get fellow undertrials to agree to keep lights on after 6.30 p.m.
There are Mondays and Friday rounds, where all the women undertrials from four barracks had to assemble, strictly at attention with our prison IDs in hand, in advance, as the Jailor comes. He moves around as we stand in silence ostensibly to record prisoner/undertrial grievances or complaints. Rarely do one-four people speak up: inquire about their cases, legal aid, being disallowed visits etc.
How would you describe the state of the cell you were in?
I was in the women and children (including pregnant women) barrack, barrack 6. It was reasonably clean, a state maintained by all of us together in rotation. Everything happened at the floor level — eating, sleeping, sitting, reading. There were 24 of us women and seven children while I was there.
What was the condition of the toilets and bathrooms?
There were toilets at the end of the cell and one bathroom outside the barrack. Keeping the toilets clean was a collective responsibility that had to be ensured. While once a day one of the women convicted prisoners did a cleaning job, the toilets and bathroom had to be cleaned several times a day. Issues like leaks in the toilet were, however, not promptly dealt with by the administration and staff despite repeated reminders.
Were medicines, sanitary napkins, access to doctors easily available?
There was a clinic/dispensary and a woman doctor available throughout the day. You are taken to the Sola Civil hospital if you put in a request for a dental procedure or anything else.
Was there enough clean water to drink and bathe?
Mostly, the water supply was alright. On the odd day, we had to wait for the motors to be put on as supply stopped. Ahmedabad water is heavily polluted; apart from that, the drinking water is not tested. On three occasions during my incarceration, when the RO stopped working, there were serious implications — stomach ailments for many of us.
How easy or difficult was it to access books in the library?
The Sabarmati Women’s Jail has a rather nice building called a “Study Centre”, which houses an 18-seater library. In the first fortnight, it was open from 8.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. and then again from 3.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. This was abruptly stopped in mid-July. As far as books are concerned, there are a fair number in Gujarati, fewer (very few) in Hindi and English.
How was the food served to you? How many times were you given it?
Jail food is rotis, vegetables, dal and rice. This is cooked by the women convicts, served at 9/9.30 a.m. and 5 p.m. A few of us got tiffins (from one of two vendors) that we shared with others. In fact the entire political economy of the jail appears to run on the hard labour (7 a.m. to 7 p.m.) of approximately 20 convicted women prisoners: the slogging, cleaning, cooking, paper work, the warden/orderly duty in barracks. For this hard work — almost slave labour — they are “paid” a pittance: ₹3,000 a month.
Could you easily make phone calls to family or lawyers? What was the procedure you had to follow?
There is a facility run on the paper coupon (when I first entered), which changed to a white ATM card mid-way that grants you/allows you to make one call of 4.45 minutes three times a week. This has to be on one of two pre-chosen numbers. There are not enough phones. The matrons allow these calls to be made only from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. However, most of the time the phones are not working or the pile up of demand is too high.
Was there a canteen you could go to? What were the items sold there and at what price?
The tea from the jail canteen (that) was available for ₹10 was preferred by many of us to the jail tea served inside. A “cart” was sometimes brought with packets of wafer and chivda for ₹10, washing powder, soap, hair oil, hair dye, shampoo pouches, coffee pouches, agarbattis. Stocks were sparse and availability completely ad hoc.
Did you feel a loss of dignity when you entered the Sabarmati jail?
Forced confinement, unfair unjust confinement means a loss of dignity. The constraints of living, physical and mental, hit you [when you are inside] and there is no way of getting out of it. After all that, human beings are survivors and you bond with others, build relationships, even if these are tenuous, find strength in the postcards and letters that creep through the strong arms of the state — I got over 2,500 such from all over the country, some from abroad — and carry on. There are women undertrials who have been there for eight years...this is a travesty of justice. What was truly humbling, at least for me, was how the whole barrack celebrated bail, which means freedom for one of the fellow inmates. These are not days that one can easily forget or live down..

Renagi Ravu was meeting with colleagues at his home in the Papua New Guinea highlands Sunday morning when a huge magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck.
Ravu tried to stand up from his chair but couldn't maintain his balance and so ended up in a kind of group hug with his colleagues, while plates and cups crashed from his shelves to the ground. His children, ages 9 and 2, had their drinks and breakfast spill over.
Ravu, who is a geologist, said he tried to calm everybody as the shaking continued for more than a minute.
The extent of the damage and whether there have been serious injuries or deaths from the quake was not clear in the immediate aftermath in the remote and underdeveloped region.
Ravu said that about 10,000 people live in and around his town of Kainantu, which is located 67 kilometers (42 miles) from the quake's epicenter and was the nearest big town to the quake. He said there are many scattered settlements in the highlands, and tens of thousands of people might have been affected.
On Sunday morning, Ravu was still sorting through the damage to his home, which he said likely included a broken sewer pipe judging from the smell. He said friends elsewhere in Kainantu had messaged him with descriptions of broken pipes and fallen debris, but hadn't described major building collapses or injuries.
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake in 2018 in the nation’s central region killed at least 125 people. That quake hit areas that are remote and undeveloped, and assessments about the scale of the damage and injuries were slow to filter out.
U.S. & World
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit at 9:46 a.m. local time. Initial readings put the quake at a depth of some 50 to 60 kilometers (30 to 40 miles).
NOAA has since advised there is no tsunami threat for the area.
The extent of damage is not yet clear, but the USGS estimates “some casualties and damage are possible and the impact should be relatively localized.”
Papua New Guinea is located on the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, to the east of Indonesia and north of eastern Australia.
It sits on the Pacific’s “Ring of Fire,” the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where much of the world’s earthquakes and volcanic activity occurs.

NEW YORK (AP) — The players’ association will submit union authorization cards to an arbitrator on Wednesday under an agreement with Major League Baseball that will lead to collective bargaining for approximately 5,500 farmhands.
MLB and the union reached a card-check agreement Saturday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.
Martin Scheinman, baseball’s permanent arbitrator, is expected to count the cards to determine whether more than 50% of the eligible players for the bargaining unit had signed. If a majority is achieved, MLB would recognize the union for minor leaguers and the players’ association would not have to ask the National Labor Relations Board to hold an election.
The bargaining unit would include minor leaguers except for 40-man major league roster players on option, who are covered by the big league union; players assigned to the Dominican Summer League, which is outside the U.S.; and players on the voluntary retired list.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Friday he anticipated an agreement.
“Congratulations to our country’s minor league baseball players on a historic, swift, and overdue organizing victory, and to for taking this critical step,” President Joe Biden tweeted Saturday. “Every worker is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect – on the job and on the field.”
The minor league union would be a separate bargaining unit within the players’ association.
“Great news for our minor league baseball athletes who will now be able to join a union,” Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted. “This historic effort is long overdue and is thanks to players and leaders who fought years to organize.”
Players with major league contracts average more than $4 million and have a $700,000 minimum salary while in the big leagues. Their minimum is $57,200 while on option to the minor leagues with a first major league contract and $114,100 if a second or later big league contract.
MLB raised weekly minimum salaries for minor leaguers in 2021 to $400 at rookie and short-season levels, $500 at Class A, $600 at Double-A and $700 at Triple-A. For players on option, the minimum is $57,200 per season for a first big league contract and $114,100 for later big league contracts.
First-round draft picks this year agreed to signing bonuses for their initial contracts ranging from $2.1 million to $8.19 million. Sixty-seven of the top 68 selections are getting $1 million or more — the other $997,500.
MLB this year began requiring teams to provide housing for most minor leaguers.
MLB and lawyers for minor leaguers agreed this year to a $185 million settlement of an eight-year-old federal lawsuit alleging violations of minimum wage laws, a deal that may be finalized next year. An early estimate is that perhaps 23,000 players could share roughly $120 million with an average payment of $5,000 to $5,500, and their lawyers will split $55.5 million.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Freshman E.J. Warner passed for 173 yards and two touchdowns, De’Von Fox blocked three punts and Temple beat Lafayette 30-14 on Saturday for the Owls' first victory under coach Stan Drayton.
Warner, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, entered in the second quarter with the game tied at 7 after starter D’Wan Mathis was pulled. Warner capped his first series with a 15-yard touchdown strike to Ian Stewart for his first collegiate touchdown.
Warner connected with a wide-open Jordan Smith for a 17-yard touchdown to give Temple a 28-14 lead early in the fourth quarter, and Fox's third blocked punt led to a safety to cap the scoring.
Jose Barbon caught eight passes for 118 yards for Temple (1-1), which hosts Rutgers next Saturday. Darvon Hubbard and Edward Saydee each had a rushing touchdown.
One of Fox's blocked punts led to a short field and Saydee capped a four-play, 22-yard drive with a 9-yard scoring run for a 21-7 lead with 23 seconds left in the first half.
Ryan Schuster completed 10 of 15 passes for 80 yards and two touchdowns for Lafayette (1-1).

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — A truncated tournament could pave the way for a thrilling finish to the BMW PGA Championship, with the top 10 players separated by two shots heading into Sunday’s final round.
Rory McIlroy is in there. And so are two golfers from the Saudi-backed breakaway series.
The European tour’s flagship event has been shortened to 54 holes after a day’s play was canceled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Viktor Hovland and Soren Kjeldsen were tied for the lead on 12 under par Saturday at the end of the second round.
McIlroy finished birdie-birdie on the closing par 5s at Wentworth to shoot 7-under 65 — tying his career-low round in the tournament — and was in a three-way share of third place with Thomas Detry (65) and Rafa Cabrera Bello (65), a shot behind the leaders.
Then came five players on 10 under — including Adrian Otaegui (65) and Talor Gooch (64), who both now play in the contentious LIV Golf series. Gooch’s presence in the field was criticized ahead of the event by some golfers who have decided to stick with the sport’s established tours and shun the Saudi money.
Gooch was even name-checked by defending champion Billy Horschel, who said his fellow American was at Wentworth “for one reason only and that’s to try to get world ranking points because you don’t have it” in LIV tournaments.
Otaegui and Gooch will play together on Sunday.
Hovland shot 68 to follow up his opening 64, while Kjeldsen started with a bogey and finished birdie-birdie for a 64 after opening with a 68.
Hovland hasn’t won since the Dubai Desert Classic in January. The last of Kjeldsen’s four European tour titles came in 2015.
McIlroy, meanwhile, is coming off winning the Tour Championship — and the FedEx Cup — two weeks ago and is seeking back-to-back titles worldwide for the first time since 2014.
As the current leader of the Race to Dubai, the four-time major champion is also in a good position to win the money lists on both sides of the Atlantic.
“I felt my putting was really good,” McIlroy said after a 5-foot birdie putt at No. 18, which came soon after a big par save at No. 16, “and that’s kept me in the tournament.”
Play started at 6:40 a.m. local time on Saturday, with 30 players needing to finish their first rounds that were stopped late Thursday following the announcement of the death of the queen at the age of 96.
A decision was taken for there to be no play on Friday — meaning the event was cut to 54 holes — as a mark of respect to the monarch of more than 70 years and players, caddies and officials held a two-minute period of silence around the course at 9:50 a.m.
The proclamation of King Charles III was later shown on the television screens in the Championship Village.
Horschel said he and his wife visited Windsor Castle to pay their respects to the queen when the tournament was put on hold on Friday, with Australian player Min Woo Lee — who shot a week-low 62 — doing likewise at Buckingham Palace.
McIlroy paid tribute to the queen’s “dignity, dedication and grace personified.”
“She was such a steadying figure for the entire country,” McIlroy said. “I was very fortunate, I got to meet her a few years ago and she could not have been nicer. I have the picture of that in my house alongside my MBE, which I am very proud of as well.
McIlroy said it was the “right decision” for the tournament to continue.
“I don’t think we are disrespecting anyone by playing and celebrating what a life the queen had,” he said.

Scottie Scheffler went 58 tournaments over more than two years between getting a PGA Tour card and getting his first win at the Phoenix Open. That turned out to be just the beginning of a year that topped all others in golf.
A month later, Scheffler went to No. 1 in the world. Two weeks after that, he became a major champion by winning the Masters. And on Saturday, he capped off his remarkable rise when he was announced as the PGA Tour player of the year.
Scheffler can do a lot in a short amount of time once he gets going.
He became the first player since the awards began in 1990 to win player of the year on the Korn Ferry Tour, rookie of the year on the PGA Tour and the PGA Tour player of the year, all in a span of four seasons.
The award is a vote of PGA Tour members who played in at least 15 tournaments. Scheffler received 89% of the vote over British Open champion Cam Smith and FedEx Cup champion Rory McIlroy, both of whom won three times and trail him in the world ranking.
The only surprise belonged to Scheffler. He received the Jack Nicklaus Award during an appearance on ESPN’s “College GameDay” in Austin, Texas. Scheffler graduated from the McCombs School of Business at Texas with a finance degree in four years without going to summer school.
He was on stage with the Texas golf team, which won the NCAA title this year, when Longhorns coach John Fields brought him what was described as a special gift. It was the bronze trophy, and the fans began chanting his name.
“That’s pretty cool,” Scheffler said, choking up. “I don’t have much to say. I definitely was not expecting that. But it means a lot to me.”
The Masters was Scheffler’s fourth win in six tournaments, and while he didn’t win the rest of the season, he was never far away. His close friend, Sam Burns, beat him in a playoff at the Colonial. He finished one shot behind Matt Fitzpatrick in the U.S. Open.
And then he nearly finished the season with the FedEx Cup until McIlroy tracked him down in the final round of the Tour Championship.
Scheffler had to settle for a tie for second and a $5.75 million bonus. He also won a $4 million bonus for leading the FedEx Cup in the regular season — he was No. 1 the final 23 weeks of the season — and $1 million bonus from the Aon Risk-Reward Challenge.
His earnings in the regular season were a record $14,046,910, giving him total income from his performance at just short of $25 million.
“Undoubtably, one of the highest compliments a player can receive is the endorsement from his peers, and the fact that Scottie’s season was both dominant and consistent spoke volumes to the membership,” Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement.
Smith’s three victories came at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, The Players Championship and the British Open at St. Andrews, where he shot 30 on the back nine.
McIlroy won the CJ Cup in Las Vegas last fall, the RBC Canadian Open in June and the Tour Championship. He was the only player to finish in the top 10 in all four majors. He captured the FedEx Cup for the third time.
Even then, McIlroy could appreciate the year Scheffler had.
“He deserves this maybe more than I deserve it. He played an unbelievable season,” McIlroy said. “Hell of a player, hell of a competitor. Even better person. Love his family.”

9/10/22 Gov. Asa Hutchinson and journalist Rick Folbaum on the midterms, Trump, and key voter issues
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Washington, DC – Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”) (NYSE: GTN) premieres a new series of midterm election specials called “Election 2022 Just the Facts” today, Saturday, September 10, 2022. The 30-minute program will highlight and break down the headlines of key races in the competitive markets served by Gray’s stations and provide analysis on key midterm races. “Election 2022 Just the Facts” will also feature interviews with top newsmakers, fact-checking segments and dispatches from Gray Television reporters on the ground in battleground states. The 10-episode series, hosted by White House correspondent and senior national editor Jon Decker, will air weekly through November 13.
“Our goal is to help inform voters as they prepare to head to the polls in what is arguably one of the most important midterm election years in recent history,” says Lisa Allen, Vice President and General Manager of Washington Operations for Gray Television.
This weekend’s show features an interview with Governor Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark.) and a report from CBS46/WGCL-TV Atlanta anchor Rick Folbaum on the U.S. Senate race in Georgia. As part of Gray Television’s partnership with Poynter, the show will also feature a fact-checking segment with PolitiFact.
Governor Asa Hutchinson discusses the Trump factor, what he thinks the GOP needs to do to win the House and the Senate, and the impact of recent abortion legislation on the elections.
When asked about former President Donald Trump’s impact on GOP candidates, Hutchinson said: “We can’t get into a sideshow, we can’t get into the past, and all the chaos that’s created around one particular person, which is Donald Trump.”
“We are not guaranteed a win on the Senate side, and that’s not necessarily a reflection of the quality of the candidates in terms of who they are. But I think it is important that we’re not going to win unless that candidate focuses on the issue. I think the risk is that we get sidetracked. There’s sideshows. Mar-a-Lago, those issues,” said Hutchinson.
On Republican gubernatorial nominees who subscribe to Trumps’ election fraud views, Hutchinson tells Decker: “First of all, there wasn’t massive fraud that was actionable, that changed the election this last cycle. There’s always challenges that we do address … But anytime you’re focusing on the last election, you’re losing. And that’s a mistake that the GOP does not want to make.”
On the abortion debate, Hutchinson said: “We don’t know for sure the full outcome in November, but I would say that Roe versus Wade, and the Dobbs case that reversed it, gave the authority back to the state. So I think this is a much greater issue in terms of impact on state races, governors and legislature races, versus the Senate or the House.”
Excerpts are below.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson Highlights
On GOP House and Senate midterm chances
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
We have the greatest likelihood of winning the House. The Senate is still up for grabs. I’m still hopeful that we can win the Senate, but it’s going to be much closer and a little bit more challenging on the Senate side, and for various reasons. This is a nationalized election as the Senate usually is. And so to what happens between now and Election Day will make a big difference on the outcome in the Senate.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
I’m confident that we will have a takeover, the GOP in the House, which is good news. I think the Senate is up in the air and it will be decided based upon what happens with the candidates the next 60 days.
Jon Decker
Do you fear a repeat of what happened in 2010 with those poor types of candidates representing Republicans happening again in this midterm election?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
I think it is important that we’re not going to win unless that candidate focuses on the issue. I think the risk is that we get sidetracked. There’s sideshows. Mar-a-Lago, those issues. We’re going to talk about the 2020 election and debate that. If that’s the case, I don’t believe that’s a winning message. And so our candidates have to talk about the future and where you’re taking this country, what we’re going to do about inflation, energy policy, border security, what you’re going to do about violence. These are the issues that people care about, and it’s going to move voters the next 60 days.
On the Trump factor
Jon Decker
He’s had an impact already in terms of the midterms, in terms of his endorsing various candidates. Do you think that’s been a net positive for Republicans?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
Well, I saw where he just endorsed my friend, Mike DeWine, in Ohio, who’s a mainstream candidate. And obviously, he sees him as a winner. He’s going to win, he’s run a good campaign, and he thinks the 2020 election was legitimate. And so I don’t believe that that endorsement makes all the difference. There’s pragmatic choices that former President Trump is making. What is important is how you handle it. Glenn Youngkin did a great job in Virginia in taking the endorsement, but not wrapping himself around the Donald Trump controversies. He focused on the issues of concern to Virginia. That’s what our candidates have to do. We can’t get into a sideshow, we can’t get into the past, and all the chaos that’s created around one particular person, which is Donald Trump.
Jon Decker
Does the former president take Republicans, in your view, away from those issues, like inflation, like crime, like immigration?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
Well, he could suck the energy out of a lot of campaigns if it’s not handled well. And so there’s a risk there, but candidates can say, look, we didn’t have inflation under Donald Trump. We didn’t have border security issues under Donald Trump. And then move on, and talk about the challenge that we have under the Biden administration and say this is what we’ve got to do now, and this election is critically important. And so you’ve got to not have Donald Trump as a central piece of your campaign, and that’s how you win elections on the same issues that I just discussed.
On President Joe Biden
Jon Decker
He (President Biden) had a recent primetime speech in Philadelphia and he said, “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very republic.”
Democrats, Joe Biden, have had a little bit of momentum in recent weeks with some legislative victories. The president’s poll numbers have ticked up just a bit. Do you think he unnecessarily, in your view, poked the bear with that speech?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
I do. It could have been a speech that was designed for his left wing base, to make them happy, but in terms of independent voters, it didn’t move them. In terms of Republicans, it energized them.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
President Biden has, with the infrastructure bill that was passed, the CHIPS Act bill, these are bills that had some bipartisan support, but anytime you get legislation that’s significant passed, it is something he can talk about, and Democrats can talk about. But what they’re not speaking about, and they’re totally blind to it, is a challenge that we have on a porous border. It’s the challenges that we have with energy policy that he’s given short-term fixes to, but not a long-term approach, which is critical. And so there’s plenty for Republicans to campaign on that can win. There’s plenty of things that the people are concerned about that this president has not addressed yet.
On the abortion debate
Jon Decker
The Supreme Court decision which overturned Roe versus Wade, we saw that vote on that abortion referendum in Kansas. Were you surprised by the outcome of that vote, and do you think that this has indeed energized Democrats ahead of the midterms?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
I was surprised by the vote in Kansas, but that was the expression of the will of the people, and those that turned out. In terms of the abortion issue and the reversal of Roe versus Wade, I think, to a certain extent, it energizes both sides. We don’t know for sure the full outcome in November, but I would say that Roe versus Wade, and the Dobbs case that reversed it, gave the authority back to the state. So I think this is a much greater issue in terms of impact on state races, governors and legislature races, versus the Senate or the House. And so we’ll wait and see, but I don’t see that as a differential, is going to make the deciding difference in November.
On the Pennsylvania Senate Race
Jon Decker
Dr. Oz. recently moved to Pennsylvania just two years ago, and his opponent, the Lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, is making a lot of that, and making this a carpetbagger type of issue. Do you think that’s an effective argument?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
Well, not really. Whenever you look at it, every state’s different, but Hillary Clinton, who used to be the first lady of Arkansas, won the United States Senate race in New York. And so you have a lot of flexibility whenever it comes to the Senate. So it’s how the people handle it, react to it, and how the candidates handle it. What’s important there, regardless of the background, Mehmet Oz is very close, and he’s got 60 days left. He’s going to have a debate. And so there’s a great opportunity to focus on the issues, to win the votes.
On Governors races
Jon Decker
You’re the former chair of the National Governors Association… Is there sort of a wave that you see happening as it relates to governor’s races?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
Right now, Republicans have a significant majority of the gubernatorial seats across the country. I expect that to be strong this year, maybe to grow some this year, because we have some very good gubernatorial candidates. We have a track record. For example, Republicans by and large kept their economy open. We kept the schools open. And we went against that trend in blue states and what was being preached nationally, perhaps by the unions. And so there’s something to run on there for Republicans saying, there’s a real difference in people’s lives based simply upon how we handled the pandemic, and the freedom that people had to leave their lives during that time.
Jon Decker
Does it make it difficult for the nominees of Republicans, for those governorships, if they subscribe to the former president’s view that there was this massive fraud in the last presidential election?
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark)
Well, first of all, there wasn’t massive fraud that was actionable, that changed the election this last cycle. There’s always challenges that we do address through legislation to make our elections more secure. But anytime you’re focusing on the last election, you’re losing. And that’s a mistake that the GOP does not want to make. It might energize a small percent of the purists that are out there that are loyalists to Trump, and that’s it. But you’re not going to win in November without going to the independents, that you’re going to be able to attract votes to your column, and that you’re a broad candidate that can address a broad range of issues and not just an angry candidate.

Eight Paterson firefighters were injured when a pair of fire trucks collided Saturday evening while responding to a call, officials said.
Around 5:30 p.m., authorities were responding to a fire at a Targets Closeout store at 141 Main St., which was brought under control without injuries.
But as two fire trucks were en route to the fire, they collided at the intersection of Broadway and Straight Street, sending one vehicle careening into a tree and the other into the Golden Mango supermarket at 200 Broadway. Eight firefighters were seriously injured in the crash, said Jerry Speziale, the city’s public safety director of police and fire, who was on the scene Saturday evening.
All firefighters were rushed to St. Joseph’s medical center in Paterson. The three most seriously injured were in stable condition with “non-life-threatening” injuries, Paterson Fire Chief Brian McDermott told NorthJersey.com. No one was injured in the supermarket, Speziale said.
Paterson Mayor Andrew Sayegh told News 12 New Jersey that three of the firefighters were in critical condition.
“Paterson’s firefighters are the bravest and most talented group of individuals,” Speziale said. “We’re all praying for them. They do this everyday for the residents of Paterson.”

Man arrested over IRA's 1996 Manchester bombing is released without charge
- Man arrested over IRA's bombing in Manchester in 1996 released without charge
- Police held the suspect at Birmingham airport on Thursday as he arrived in UK
- It's thought to be the first time he travelled to Britain for several years
- The 3,300lb bomb injured 212 people but fortunately no one was killed
A man arrested over the IRA's bombing of Manchester city centre in 1996 has been released without charge.
Police held the suspect at Birmingham airport on Thursday night as he entered Britain.
He was interviewed by detectives from the North West counter-terror policing unit and released on Friday night.
It is thought to be the first time the suspect had travelled to Britain for several years.
A man arrested over the IRA's bombing of Manchester city centre in 1996 has been released without charge. Police held the suspect at Birmingham airport on Thursday night as he entered Britain
The 3,300lb bomb in a parked lorry injured 212 people but no one died as it caused £1billion of damage in June 1996.
It was the largest explosive to be detonated on mainland Britain since the Second World War.
The IRA phoned warnings 90 minutes before the blast and 75,000 people were evacuated.
In 2006 police said it was unlikely anyone would be tried for planting the bomb because of a lack of evidence.
The inquiry reopened in 2016 and last year police said a review of evidence had produced 'new, albeit limited, investigative opportunities'.
In June The Mail on Sunday revealed that a victim of the bombing, former rail worker Barry Laycock, is suing former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams in the High Court over his alleged role in the blast.
Mr Laycock and two other victims are suing Mr Adams over his alleged role in directing the IRA's mainland bombing campaign from 1973 to 1996.
It includes the 3,000lb truck bomb blast in London's Docklands in 1996, which killed two.
Mr Adams says he was never a member of the IRA and vigorously denies all the claims.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open tennis tournament (all times local):
___
9:20 p.m.
There's more to New York than just the U.S. Open.
Meeting celebrities, for one. Going to a Broadway show, for another.
Iga Swiatek is doing it all.
The women's singles champion said her tournament was made well before she lifted the trophy Saturday. She got to meet singer Seal earlier in the event.
“I was like, ‘Even if I’m going to lose right now, I already won this tournament, because I got a photo with him,’” Swiatek said.
The 21-year-old from Poland also met retired skier Lindsey Vonn. On Sunday, she plans to see a show, though she declined to reveal which one.
“I’m not going to say the name of the musical,” Swiatek said, “because I want to have a little peace tomorrow.”
___
6:10 p.m.
Iga Swiatek has won her first U.S. Open and third Grand Slam title, beating Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6 (5).
The top-ranked Swiatek added this title to her two French Open victories, including one earlier this year. She has won seven titles in 2022, the most by a woman since Serena Williams in 2014.
Jabeur rallied after poor starts in both sets, but fell short in a Grand Slam final for the second straight time.
___
4:50 p.m.
Iga Swiatek has kept up her dominant play in finals by taking the first set 6-2 against Ons Jabeur in the U.S. Open.
The top-ranked Swiatek has won her last nine finals, all in straight sets, since dropping the first one of her career in 2019.
One of those was against Jabeur this year in Rome, a 6-2, 6-2 rout, and so far this one has been just as easy.
Swiatek took a 3-0 lead within 10 minutes, with a 12-2 lead in points, and wrapped it up in just 30 minutes.
The fifth-seeded Jabeur had lost only one set in the tournament while reaching her second straight Grand Slam final.
___
4:20 p.m.
Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur have started the women's singles final at the U.S. Open.
There is plenty of support for both on the grounds in New York. A number of fans are wearing the red of Poland, the home country of the top-ranked Swiatek.
Jabeur is trying to become the first African woman and first Arab in the professional era to win a Grand Slam title. The No. 5 seed from Tunisia lost in the Wimbledon final.
___
4 p.m.
Alexandra Eala has become the first player from the Philippines to win a junior Grand Slam singles title.
The No. 10 seed beat Lucia Havlickova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4 to win the U.S. Open junior girls' title.
The 17-year-old from Quezon City says she hopes her victory will inspire younger players from her country.
Martin Landaluce of Spain won the boys' title by beating Gilles Arnaud Bailly of Belgium 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-2.
___
2:15 p.m.
U.S. Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe has pulled out of the United States team that will play group stage matches in the Davis Cup next week in Glasgow, Scotland.
The U.S. Tennis Association announced Tiafoe’s withdrawal. Tiafoe is a 24-year-old from Maryland who was seeded 22nd at Flushing Meadows.
He became the first American man to get to the U.S. Open semifinals since Andy Roddick was the tournament’s runner-up in 2006.
Tiafoe’s run ended with a loss to No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz. Alcaraz will meet No. 7 seed Casper Ruud in Sunday’s U.S. Open final.
___
2 p.m.
Australians Storm Sanders and John Peers won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title with a 4-6, 6-4, 10-7 victory over the team of Kirsten Flipkens and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
It was the first Grand Slam mixed doubles title for Peers, who had made 31 previous appearances before teaming up for the first time in this tournament with Sanders. He closed out the match tiebreak with an ace.
Peers had partnered with former women's No. 1 Ash Barty last year in the Olympics, where they won a bronze medal.
___
1:15 p.m.
Top-ranked Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur will play for the women's singles title at the U.S. Open, where the mixed doubles champion also will be decided.
Swiatek is bidding for her second Grand Slam title this year and third overall. The 21-year-old from Poland won her second French Open in June, one of her six titles in 2022.
Jabeur is bidding for her first major title, having lost in the Wimbledon final. The No. 5 seed from Tunisia would become the first African woman to win a Grand Slam event in the professional era, which began in 1968.
Their match on Arthur Ashe Stadium was to follow the mixed doubles final between Australians Storm Sanders and John Peers, and the team of Kirsten Flipkens and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.

Sept. 10-12 event supports Consume for the Economy initiative
Free business platform for local SMEs and Sands retailers
MACAO, China, Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Coinciding with Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Sands China Ltd. held an opening ceremony for the 2022 Sands Shopping Carnival Saturday at The Venetian® Macao, officially launching the popular annual event with representatives from the government, finance and business sectors in attendance.
The carnival provides an ideal shopping and leisure hotspot for families under one roof, and aims to give back to the community by offering the best deals to Macao residents and tourists in order to stimulate domestic consumption and help boost the economy. It is the third year that Sands China is providing the shopping and leisure hotspot, after total visitation for last two carnivals exceeded 210,000.
The Sands Shopping Carnival is the largest sale event in Macao and is open to the public admission-free from noon to 10 p.m. daily, Saturday-Monday, Sept. 10-12 at Cotai Expo Halls A and B.

Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd., said: "Originally scheduled for earlier this summer in July, the 2022 Sands Shopping Carnival was postponed to September due to Macao's COVID-19 outbreak. As Macao navigates the unpredictable ups and downs of the pandemic, it is our responsibility to continue supporting the SAR government's economic revival initiative and the retail sector as we make efforts toward economic recovery. We also strive to support the development of local SMEs by providing them a free business platform in this largest sale event in Macao, with an objective to transform it into one of the significant events in the city. The last two carnivals were well-received and contributed to both the local economy and the community.

Sanchez was one of six players who started having not been in the line-up for the 2-0 UEFA Champions League defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite the fresh legs, though, Marseille fell behind in the 12th minute as Lille silenced Stade Velodrome. Bafode Diakite robbed possession on the halfway line, and while Adam Ounas hit the post with an instinctive turn and shot, Ismaily was on site to bury the rebound.
Marseille was soon level, though, as Amine Harit drove forward from his own half in the 26th minute, passed out wide to Cengiz Under, who fired in a low centre from the right that Sanchez poked home from close range.
Under was unvolved again for the winner. His free-kick into the box was headed on by Sead Kolasinac, with Samuel Gigot scoring instinctively.
To the naked eye, he looked to have been clearly offside, but the video assistant referee let the goal stand, making it Kolasinac's first goal since moving to Marseille from Spartak Moscow.
Marseille remains alongside PSG at the top of Ligue 1, both sides recording six wins and a draw each after seven games, PSG's latest win coming prior to Marseille's with a 1-0 win over Brest, a goal that helps keep the capital club top on goal difference.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — Malachi Imoh ran for a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter to help William & Mary beat Campbell 37-21 on Saturday night.
Imoh ran toward the left sideline and cut back before scoring from inside the 30 to give William & Mary (1-1) a 24-14 lead with 5:03 remaining in the third quarter.
The Tribe's Jalen Jones then picked off a Hajj-Malik Williams pass attempt and returned the ball along the right sidelines untouched for about 30 yards before jumping into the end zone. Imoh's 55-yard TD run capped the scoring with 19 seconds remaining in the third.
Williams threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Julian Hill just before halftime for Campbell (1-1). Williams' 7-yard TD run pulled the Camels to 17-14 early in the third.

Tim Hardaway took the stage and told a story of his early days in the NBA, when Golden State teammates Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin would often ask him the same question.
“They would ask me, ‘Tim, how great do you want to be?’” Hardaway said.
They have their answer. So does everyone else. He’s a basketball immortal.
Hardaway, Manu Ginobili, Swin Cash, Bob Huggins, Del Harris, Lindsay Whalen, Marianne Stanley, Theresa Shank Grentz and George Karl all delivered their enshrinement addresses as new members of the Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday night in Springfield, Massachusetts.
“A kid from the east side of Chicago made it all the way to Springfield, Massachusetts,” Hardaway said. “Incredible.”
Such was the theme throughout the night: how an honor that none of the new Hall members imagined has now come their way, each of them thanking those who helped them reached the pinnacle.
Ginobili was presented by Tim Duncan, already a Hall of Famer himself, and next year the third member of San Antonio’s legendary Big 3 of players — Tony Parker — will be eligible for selection.
“The Spurs were one big, strong, supportive family for me," Ginobili said.
Someday, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich will be in the Hall as well; the NBA's all-time wins leader doesn't want to be considered until his career is over. Ginobili reserved special tribute for him.
“Pop, what can I say? You've been so, so important for me and my family, on and off the court, that'll I never be able to thank you enough," Ginobili said, his voice cracking.
Cash — an NCAA, WNBA and Olympic champion — also paid tribute to her coach at UConn, Hall of Famer Geno Auriemma and her Huskies teammates, including the group that went 39-0 for her senior season in 2001-02.
“If anyone's debating the greatest basketball team ever, ask about us," said Cash, who now works in the front office of the New Orleans Pelicans.
Duncan and Ginobili weren’t the only teammates in the building. Stanley and Shank Grentz were teammates at Immaculata in the 1970s, before going on to coaching careers — and now, the Hall, together.
“It's the privilege of a lifetime," Stanley said.
Added Shank Grentz, who, like all inductees, learned of her selection in April: “I am still overwhelmed."
Whalen, whose legendary playing career has been followed by her returning to alma mater Minnesota and coaching there, might have had a Hall of Fame first by thanking a fast-food company.
“Thank you, Burger King,” Whalen said.
To explain: When Whalen — a converted hockey player — was going to her first basketball camp, she was anxious, crying, not wanting to go into the gym. But her parents had paid for camp and weren't going to let her back out, so negotiations quickly took place. The agreement was eventually struck; if Whalen would go to camp, she’d get a Whopper Jr., with cheese, for the ride home.
“I ended up having a great time,” Whalen said.
Her parents not wanting her to play hockey was her twist of fate. For Harris, his was a professor encouraging him to take a year to coach a junior-high basketball team before joining the seminary.
Harris was going to be a pastor; ironically, basketball’s founder, Dr. James Naismith, also was a pastor. Instead, Harris followed in another set of Naismith’s footsteps, as a coach.
“After that year, I knew what I wanted to do with my life,” said Harris, who coached at just about every imaginable level — high school, college, the NBA, international teams and at the FIBA level.
His path to the Hall came from modest beginnings, just like Huggins — who now coaches at his alma mater, West Virginia and has won more than 900 games in his collegiate career — and Karl, who got emotional when he paid tribute to his college coach at North Carolina, Dean Smith, and got laughs when talking about the challenge of coaching a Hall of Famer like Gary Payton.
“This is really incredible for a guy from Penn Hills, Pennsylvania," Karl said. “This is a ‘wow' moment for me."
Huggins even did a little coaching as he paid tribute during his speech to Jerry Colangelo, the chairman of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.
“You’re allowed to clap, I think,” Huggins said. “I’m not real sure of the rules, but what the hell, let’s just make them as we go.”
Hardaway, Richmond and Mullin formed the trio known as “Run TMC,” which remains popular today. Mullin entered the Hall in 2011, Richmond three years later. And they were on the stage Saturday night, seated just to Hardaway’s left, when his wait finally ended.
“Legendary, baby,” Hardaway said. “We was legendary.”
Also honored were seven more new Hall members, all deceased: one of NBA’s first Black referees in Hugh Evans, six-time All-Star Lou Hudson, former coach Larry Costello, international great Radivoj Korac and a trio of former Harlem Globetrotters in Wyatt “Sonny” Boswell, Inman Jackson and Albert “Runt” Pullins.
And special tribute was paid to two-time Hall of Fame inductee Bill Russell, who made it in as a player, then as a coach. Russell died earlier this year, and the ceremony Saturday began with Hall of Famers Jerry West and Alonzo Mourning paying respect to the 11-time champion.
“Bill was the ultimate competitor on the court and a remarkable human being off of it,” West said. “And in his own way, he made all the lives he touched a little better. That’s why he’ll be missed, especially by those who were fortunate enough to know him.”
Added Mourning, who spoke of Russell’s work as a champion of social justice: “Rest in power, my friend.”

Based on region, North America contributed the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2020, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global radiology information system market, and is projected to continue its lead position by 2030. This is attributed to presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure and large government spending on healthcare facilities. However, Asia-Pacific is estimated to witness the largest CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period. This is due to surge in demand for healthcare facilities owing to rapid growth of the population.

DALLAS (AP) — Tanner Mordecai threw three touchdown passes and SMU rolled to a 45-16 victory over Lamar on Saturday night.
Mordecai was 18-of-31 passing for 212 yards. He connected with Rashee Rice twice for scores, including the Mustangs' first touchdown. Rice also made an over-the-shoulder, 20-yard catch in the end zone late in the third quarter. Rice finished with nine catches for 132 yards.
TJ McDaniel found a crease up the middle, stiff armed a defender then ran along the left sideline for a 56-yard touchdown run that stretched the Mustangs' lead to 24-7 late in the first half. McDaniel scored his first touchdown since the 2020 season. He sat out last season due to injury. He added a 1-yard score and finished with 96 yards on the ground.
Velton Gardner had 100 yards rushing on 11 carries for SMU (2-0).
Khalan Griffin had a 1-yard touchdown run for Lamar (0-2).

"Rishabh And DK Need To Play": Cheteshwar Pujara On India's Team For T20 World Cup
While there has been a raging debate about who should play for India between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in the T20I team, Cheteshwar Pujara said that ideally both wicketkeepers should make the playing XI come the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia.
- Abhimanyu Bose
- Updated: September 11, 2022 08:31 AM IST
While there has been a raging debate about who should play for India between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in the T20I team, Cheteshwar Pujara said that ideally both wicketkeepers should make the playing XI come the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. While Dinesh Karthik, picked to play the finisher's role, barely got a chance to bat in the Asia Cup, while Rishabh Pant could not impress when he did get to bat. But Pujara still thinks that Pant should be in the middle order, with Karthik continuing as finisher.
"I think if I had to pick my No.5, 6 and 7 I would go with... with the kind of Asia Cup we had, we need to strengthen our batting lineup," Pujara told ESPNcricinfo.
"I would go with Rishabh at No.5, Hardik at No.6 and DK at No.7. I think we need to include both. Rishabh and DK need to play," he added.
However, he said that if India want an additional bowling option, then Deepak Hooda would come into the playing XI in place of Rishabh Pant.
"Unless you're looking for Hooda to bowl a few overs. If he bowls, then I think Rishabh misses out, Deepak has to bat No.5," Pujara said.
Promoted
India's middle order worries were worsened during the Asia Cup in the form of an injury to Ravindra Jadeja that has ruled him out of the World Cup, which begins in October.
While Jadeja gave balance as an all-rounder, he was also a left-hander in a batting lineup otherwise dominated by right-handers.

Renagi Ravu was meeting with colleagues at his home in the Papua New Guinea highlands Sunday morning when a huge magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck.
Mr. Ravu tried to stand up from his chair but couldn't maintain his balance and so ended up in a kind of group hug with his colleagues, while plates and cups crashed from his shelves to the ground. His children, ages 9 and 2, had their drinks and breakfast spill over.
Mr. Ravu, who is a geologist, said he tried to calm everybody as the shaking continued for more than a minute.
ADVERTISEMENT
The extent of the damage and whether there have been serious injuries or deaths from the quake was not clear in the immediate aftermath in the remote and underdeveloped region.
Mr. Ravu said that about 10,000 people live in and around his town of Kainantu, which is located 67 kilometers (42 miles) from the quake's epicenter and was the nearest big town to the quake. He said there are many scattered settlements in the highlands, and tens of thousands of people might have been affected.
On Sunday morning, Mr. Ravu was still sorting through the damage to his home, which he said likely included a broken sewer pipe judging from the smell. He said friends elsewhere in Kainantu had messaged him with descriptions of broken pipes and fallen debris, but hadn't described major building collapses or injuries.
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake in 2018 in the nation’s central region killed at least 125 people. That quake hit areas that are remote and undeveloped, and assessments about the scale of the damage and injuries were slow to filter out.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit at 9.46 a.m. local time. Initial readings put the quake at a depth of some 50 to 60 kilometers (30 to 40 miles).
NOAA has since advised there is no tsunami threat for the area.
The extent of damage is not yet clear, but the USGS estimates “some casualties and damage are possible and the impact should be relatively localized.”
Papua New Guinea is located on the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, to the east of Indonesia and north of eastern Australia.
It sits on the Pacific’s “Ring of Fire,” the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where much of the world’s earthquakes and volcanic activity occurs.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — An emotional Harrison Ford appeared along with a new trailer for the fifth Indiana Jones film, cast members from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" showed footage from their forthcoming sequel, and trailers and details were unveiled from the widening TV presence of the “Star Wars” galaxy on Saturday at the D23 Expo.
An arena-sized audience gave a standing ovation to Ford, co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and director James Mangold after the trailer was shown at a presentation from Disney divisions Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios at the festival at the Anaheim Convention Center, next door to Disneyland.
“Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us,” the usually stoic Ford said, choking up at times. “I’m very proud to say to say that this one is fantastic.”
He pointed to Waller-Bridge and said, “this is one of the reasons.”
The 80-year-old Ford suggested this would be his last time donning the hat and holding the whip of one of the two characters that made him famous.
“This is it," he said, as shouts of “no” came from the crowd. "I will not fall down for you again.”
The 37-year-old Waller-Bridge said Ford showed no signs of slowing down, saying “I had the time of my life making this movie,” and “keeping up with this guy is exhausting.”
The trailer shows Ford cracking that whip in front of a group of heavily armed henchmen with Waller-Bridge at his side.
The film, whose title has yet to be announced, is set for release on June 30, 2023. It also stars Mads Mikkelsen, Toby Jones and Antonio Banderas, and is the first in the franchise not directed by Steven Spielberg.
Angela Bassett and Winston Duke were among the cast members who presented part of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," which is set for release on Nov. 11.
The sequence shows a team trying to steal some of the nation of Wakanda's precious substance vibranium, and a Wakandan team beating them back.
It has not been clear how the film would deal with the death of the title star of the first film, Chadwick Boseman, who died of prostate cancer in 2020.
But the footage acknowledged that his character T'Challa had died, and suggests that his sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, might be the next Black Panther.
“We had to meet his level of excellence, and we did,” Bassett said.
Neither the “Indiana Jones” trailer nor the “Black Panther” footage were released outside of the convention hall.
Marvel also announced cast members of the forthcoming Phase 5 films from its cinematic universe, “Captain America: New World Order” and “Thunderbolts.”
Anthony Mackie will take up the familiar shield as Captain America in the movie slated for a May 2024 release, as he did at the end of the television series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and he'll be joined by Tim Blake Nelson as central villain the Leader. Danny Ramirez and Shira Haas will play heroes alongside Mackie.
Marvel's team of antiheroes “Thunderbolts" will include role reprisals from Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier and David Harbour as Red Guardian. Wyatt Russell and Julia Louis Dreyfus also appear in the film set to be released in July of 2024.
Pedro Pascal and the cast of “The Mandalorian” unveiled a trailer and new details for the series' third season and Diego Luna did the same for the forthcoming series “Andor" as Lucasfilm and the “Star Wars” galaxy deepens its television presence with no big screens in sight.
“You are a Mandalorian no more,” Pascal's title character is told in the trailer for the new season, a penalty for his having removed his helmet and showed his face.
The trailer shows the Mandalorian and his baby-Yoda sidekick Grogu zipping through space, and suggests an increased role for “Battlestar Galactica” star Katee Sackhoff and her character Bo-Katan Kryze, who first appeared in season two.
Carl Weathers and Giancarlo will both reprise their roles, and “Back to the Future” star Christopher Lloyd is joining the cast. The show is set to premiere in February.
In a different Lucasfilm galaxy, a trailer was unveiled for the forthcoming TV series “Willow,” based on the 1988 Ron Howard fantasy film. Christian Slater was announced as a cast member, and appeared live to talk about it.
“I love the fantasy, the sci-fi, just getting to be a part of this show was, I will be honest with you an absolute dream come true,” Slater said. “This was a very fun character.”
The character was described only as someone aiding in a quest who is a friend of Madmartigan, the rogue adventurer played by Val Kilmer in the film.
The trailer brings epic echoes of “Lord of the Rings," with original “Willow” actor Warwick Davis leading a group of teen adventurers in cloaks on a magical mission.
All the shows will stream on Disney+.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Garrett Shrader threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more as Syracuse routed former Big East rival UConn 48-14 on Saturday night.
The 6-foot-4 junior completed 20 of his 23 passes for 287 yards as the Orange improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2018.
Sean Tucker added 112 yards rushing on 27 carries with touchdown for the Orange, who scored on their first seven possessions.
Freshman Zion Turner went 14-of-17 for 92 yards and a touchdown and Nate Carter had 71 yards rushing for UConn (1-2) which has not beaten an FBS team since 2019.
Syracuse never trailed and scored on all five of its first-half drives, highlighted by a 47-yard strike from Shrader to Damien Alford which put the Orange up 17-0 and an 18-yard TD pass to Courtney Jackson just before halftime that made it 27-7.
The Orange put up 465 total yards and held UConn to just 202.
The Huskies scored on two big plays, a 28-yard second-quarter touchdown run by Devontae Houston and a 56-yard catch-and-run by receiver Aaron Turner in the third quarter.
Syracuse kicker Andre Szmyt, who had three field goals and six extra points against UConn the last time the teams met in 2018, had field goals of 27 and 28 yards to go with six extra points in this one.
THE TAKEAWAY
UConn: The Huskies, who went 1-11 a year ago, have not beaten a Power Five team since a victory over Virginia in 2016. The Huskies last won back-to-back games in 2017 and UConn’s last win over Syracuse was a 28-21 decision at Rentschler Field in 2011.
Syracuse: Syracuse tied the all-time series with UConn and 6-6, but has won the last four games by a combined score of 170-69. The Orange, who went 2-3 away from home in 2021, don't have another road game this season until Oct. 22 at Clemson.
UP NEXT
UConn: Travels to Ann Arbor to face No. 4 Michigan next Saturday
Syracuse: The Orange return home to host Purdue.

LONDON (AP) — Prince William and wife Kate made a surprise joint appearance with Prince Harry and wife Meghan on Saturday, warmly greeting a large crowd gathered outside Windsor Castle to remember their long-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
Their “walkabout,” the first time the brothers have appeared amicably together in public since March 2020, comes at a time when the younger generation of Britain’s royal family must step up their responsibilities significantly.
William, long second-in-line to the throne, is now the heir apparent after his father, King Charles III, became Britain’s new monarch upon his mother’s death. That means William and Kate, both 40 and parents of three young children, immediately assume a much more central role as the new face of the monarchy.
William and Harry had been on frosty terms since Harry quit as a senior royal and moved to the U.S. two years ago. Their show of unity Saturday was reportedly initiated by William and left some observers hoping that Harry, 37, might return to the fray and support his elder brother in sharing the heavy workload now on William’s shoulders.
“Certainly William and Catherine, as the new Prince and Princess of Wales, will be even more in the media spotlight if that’s possible,” said Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine. “Until Thursday, there was a buffer between him and the throne. That buffer has now been removed.”
It’s a stark contrast to how thing were just two weeks ago, when William and Kate announced they were moving their family from central London to a more rural base in Windsor. Observers thought they were seeking more privacy and a more “normal” upbringing for their children, who just started a new year together at a private school.
Long before he ascended to the throne, Charles indicated that he wanted a “slimmed down” monarchy with a tighter core group of full-time working royals and lower expenses.
That was before Harry’s move — and before the princes’ uncle, Prince Andrew, was effectively banished from public life following sexual misconduct scandals.
Not many other recognizable “working royals” — members of the royal family who officially represent the monarch — were left to share the hundreds of official engagements and numerous overseas visits undertaken each year.
The group includes Charles and his wife, Camilla, now the Queen Consort; William and Kate; the queen’s only daughter, Princess Anne; and the queen’s youngest child, Prince Edward, and his wife, Sophie. Also working royals, but much lesser known, are the queen’s first cousin, Prince Richard, and his wife, Birgitte.
In his first speech to the nation, which was broadcast Friday, Charles formally bestowed his own title, the Prince of Wales, to William. Kate is now the Princess of Wales, and is the first person since William’s late mother, Princess Diana, to hold the title.
William and Kate also inherit Charles and Camilla’s other honorary titles, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall. That means managing and taking income from the Duchy of Cornwall, an estate comprising land across the U.K. that is reportedly worth 1 billion pounds.
“With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given,” Charles said Friday.
In his speech, Charles said he knows won’t be able to devote as much time and energy to causes he cares most about, such as the environment and climate change.
William will now likely spend more time championing those topics. He already made his mark by founding the Earthshot Prize, an ambitious “legacy project” expected to hand out millions of pounds in grants for environmental initiatives over the next 10 years.
“It will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real,” William wrote in a statement Saturday. “I will honour her memory by supporting my father, The King, in every way I can.”
Charles also spoke briefly of Harry in his address to the nation, expressing his “love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, moved away from the U.K. to seek financial independence and freedom from severe British media scrutiny into their lives.
The couple is now settled in California with their two young children. Both Harry and Meghan repeatedly have aired their unhappiness with the royals since their departure.
Those tensions were put aside Saturday, as the two princes and their wives arrived in the same car to greet people who pressed against road barriers outside the gates of Windsor Castle. Each royal stopped to speak to both children and adults, accepting flowers and condolences from an excited crowd.
“It was so beautiful to see. I felt so emotional and I felt the queen would have loved it,” said Banita Ranow, 28. Her mother, Baljinder, said the visit was “fabulous.”
“I just hope in the future they remain like that and that the brothers come together,” she said.

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron turned his attention from the new head of state to the new head of government on Saturday evening.
He sent condolences to Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss and said that ties between France and the United Kingdom have long roots in history.
In the future, “we shall strengthen them,” Macron said in a tweet. He added: “Our support for Ukraine, as well as food and energy security will be among our shared priorities.”

Wearing black armbands, test cricketers from England and South Africa held a minute’s silence before a bell was chimed once by a high-ranking member of the military at the Oval.
Over to the west of London, golfers from around the world paused their rounds and other pros, officials and caddies gathered on the putting green in front of the first tee at Wentworth to hold a two-minute period of silence, also impeccably observed.
There were moving and respectful tributes to Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday as sports resumed in Britain following a nationwide shutdown Friday as a mark of respect for the monarch of more than 70 years who died at the age of 96 on Thursday.
Professional and grassroots soccer — including the Premier League — decided to call off all matches this weekend to give an opportunity for participants to mourn the queen’s passing.
International cricket and golf returned, though, as did English domestic rugby, on the back of guidance from the government that stated there was no obligation on sports organizations to cancel or reschedule events during the nation’s period of mourning.

LONDON — Palace officials say the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will take place on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey in London after the public gets an opportunity to pay their last respects to the monarch.
Elizabeth, the nation’s longest-reigning sovereign, died Thursday at her summer retreat in the Scottish Highlands.
Details on the 96-year old queen’s funeral will be released later, but organizers on Saturday described the ceremony as a “a fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.’’
Palace officials said there would be opportunities to see the late sovereign’s oak coffin as it journeys from Balmoral Castle in Scotland to Edinburgh and again in London, where her body will lie in state for four days starting Wednesday.

LONDON — Prince William has has made his first statement about the death of Queen Elizabeth II, saying “it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real.”

William, the Prince of Wales, said the late queen provide “an example of service and dignity in public life that was from a different age, but always relevant to us all.”

OTTAWA, Ontario — King Charles III has been officially announced as Canada’s monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa.
Charles automatically became king when Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday. But like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony Saturday in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
Charles is now is the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Though Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, many had great affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose silhouette marks their coins.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is minuscule, meaning that Charles will almost certainly remain king of Canada. One reason is that abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the constitution. That’s an inherently risky undertaking, given how delicately it is engineered to unite a nation of 37 million that embraces English-speakers, French-speakers, Indigenous tribes and a constant flow of new immigrants.

BALMORAL CASTLE, Scotland — Members of the royal family have stopped to take in a sea of floral tributes left by the public outside the gates of Balmoral Castle in Scotland after attending a prayer service nearby.
Queen Elizabeth II’s three youngest children — Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward — as well as their families greeted a crowd of people who gathered Saturday to line the route outside the castle.
Princess Eugenie, Andrew’s daughter, was seen laying a bunch of flowers, while the rest of the family took time to read the many tributes to the queen.
The tribute came two days after the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the same day that her eldest son King Charles III was officially proclaimed Britain’s monarch.
___
LONDON — Prime Minister Liz Truss and senior members of her government have taken oaths of loyalty to King Charles III in the House of Commons.
House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle was the first to pledge he will “bear true allegiance to his Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors,” followed by the longest-serving lawmakers and the prime minister.
All lawmakers pledge allegiance to the monarch after they are elected. Making a new vow when the monarch changes is not a legal requirement, but all 650 lawmakers will have a chance to retake the oath in the coming days if they wish.
Normal parliamentary business has been suspended during a period of mourning for the queen. The House of Commons is holding a rare Saturday session so that lawmakers can pay tribute to the late monarch.

A royal official has publicly proclaimed King Charles III as Britain’s new monarch during a ceremony at St. James’s Palace.
David White, the Garter King of Arms, read the proclamation from a balcony at the London royal residence flanked by trumpeters in gold-trimmed robes.
Gun salutes rang out in Hyde Park, at the Tower of London and at military sites around the U.K. as the proclamation was made.
Scarlet-robed soldiers in the palace courtyard presented arms and doffed their bearskin hats in a royal salute.
___
LONDON — King Charles III has declared that the day of his mother’s funeral will be a public holiday.
Charles approved the decision during his formal accession ceremony on Saturday.
The date of Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral has not been announced but is expected to be around Sept, 19.
This will be the second extra public holiday for Britons this year — a holiday was declared in early June for celebration’s to mark Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee, for 70 years on the throne.
___
LONDON — King Charles III has been officially announced as Britain’s monarch Saturday, in a ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live.
Charles automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday, but Saturday’s accession ceremony is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
The ceremony at St. James’s Palace, a royal residence in London, is attended by the Accession Council, made up of senior politicians and officials who advise the monarch. They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king will then join them to make a series of oaths and declarations.
It’s the first time the ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Youngstown State men’s basketball head coach Jerrod Calhoun spoke with Gold and Blue Nation Saturday evening at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony.
Calhoun coached under Bob Huggins for six seasons as an assistant coach. He was with the Mountaineers in 2010 when West Virginia played in the Final Four.
That was the most recent of Huggins’ two Final Four appearances.
“He’s a guy that the entire state looks up to,” Calhoun said. “Today is a special day.”
Saturday is also known as Bob Huggins Day across the state of West Virginia.
Calhoun reignited the conversation of Huggins legacy around Morgantown and around the sport in December when he called for WVU to “Get that statue up.”
Calhoun is one of several former coaches and players under Huggins who have flocked to the Northeast this weekend to honor and celebrate the Bear.
Stick with Gold and Blue Nation for more stories and interviews detailing this historic weekend for Huggins. Our coverage is presented by The Health Plan, Little General Stores and Pritt & Spano.

Search for tiger after raid uncovers alligator, drugs, guns
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An alligator, drugs, guns and money were seized during a raid at two homes in Albuquerque last month, but New Mexico wildlife officials said Saturday they are still searching for a young tiger they believe is being illegally kept as a pet.
Investigators think the tiger is with someone “in New Mexico or a nearby state,” New Mexico Department of Game and Fish conservation officers said in a statement
The animal was believed to be less than 1 year old and weigh under 60 pounds (27 kilograms), but tigers can grow to 600 pounds (272 kilograms), the department said, calling large meat-eating animals such as tigers and alligators a clear danger to the public.
Wild tigers are listed globally as an endangered species. Alligators were listed as endangered in the U.S. from 1967 to 1987, but today thrive in the wild.
The alligator seized by authorities is about 3 feet (almost 1 meter) long. It was taken to a wildlife facility after state conservation officers and federal, state and local police served search warrants Aug. 12.
Albuquerque police reported a 26-year-old man was arrested and investigators seized 2 pounds (0.9 kilograms) of heroin, 10.5 pounds (4.75 kilograms) of cocaine, 49 pounds (22 kilograms) of marijuana, 17 rifles and pistols, fentanyl and Xanax pills, and nearly $42,000.

It's hard to find a physics or chemistry teacher that doesn't use PhET Interactive Simulations, a free online science and math simulations platform founded at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman. These beautifully designed STEM explorations are loved by students and educators alike. The library of 160 simulations offers diverse possibilities: students can experiment with different states of matter by changing temperatures and pressures, design and test electric circuits, or explore how gravity affects planetary motion, to name a few. Translated into 106 languages, these simulations are now used 250 million times per year worldwide.
PhET simulations are helping children around the world to study under all sorts of challenging conditions, including COVID restrictions and military conflicts. Ukrainian children have been using PhET simulations to stay engaged in learning even while hiding in bomb shelters or adapting to life as refugees. Between April and June, PhET counted nearly 200,000 uses of Ukrainian-language simulations as students worked to finish their school year – a 37% increase over the prior year.
This year, PhET celebrates its 20th anniversary. I met with Kathy Perkins, who has been the Director of PhET since 2008 and originally joined PhET as a postdoctoral associate with Carl Wieman in 2003.
Julia Brodsky: These days, everyone understands why we need online education. But PhET started relatively early, in 2002. What was the initial motivation and vision?
Kathy Perkins: When Carl Weiman won the Nobel Prize, he found himself presenting his research to very diverse audiences. He tried using interactive visualizations to bring his complex physics ideas to life, and saw both increased engagement and deeper understanding in his audience. This experience seeded the idea of transforming learning with interactive educational simulations where students can openly explore physical phenomena, directly manipulating the controls, choosing from multiple representations, and trying different set-ups. The core design principle is interaction with immediate and dynamic feedback.
JB: PhET is such an intuitive and playful environment. What guides its design?
KP: We focus on creating opportunities for student agency, driven by curiosity and challenge. There is no set path through a PhET simulation, rather it is an inviting and open space. We are also strongly guided by education research, creating designs to address known student difficulties. The result is a highly flexible and fun learning tool.
JB: How do you see the future of traditional and online science labs?
KP: I see online labs and hands-on labs as great in combination, but for both, we need to push beyond “tradition.” Recent research by Carl Wieman and Natasha Holmes (Introductory Physics Labs: We can do better) shows us that to develop the scientific problem solving skills we strive for as educators, students need to be put in the driver's seat. Students need to be making the important decisions about the experiment and justifying those decisions. Structured or “traditional” labs have shown little to no effect in developing students’ scientific problem solving.
Simulations can be effective and efficient in helping students discover important concepts and rapidly experiment and test their ideas. Hands-on labs are great for building skills with physical equipment, debugging problems, and confronting real-world challenges such as error and uncertainty. However, not all students have access to physical equipment. With funding from the Moore Foundation, we will be adding sources of uncertainty to some PhET simulations to deepen data fluency access and understanding.
JB: How does PhET increase educational opportunities for communities with limited resources?
KP: Our mission is to increase science and math literacy worldwide by expanding the access to and impact of PhET simulations. Our simulations can be accessed for free from our website, and can be downloaded for offline use by communities without reliable internet. With support from the Yidan Prize Foundation and Mastercard Foundation, we recently launched a new PhET Global initiative, allowing us to deepen our international work. We currently focus on Latin America and Africa, expanding translations, supporting communities of teachers and education researchers, and establishing cohorts of PhET Fellows who serve as PhET experts and support teacher professional development locally.
JB: PhET is 20 years old this year. I am curious, what has changed for the platform over the years?
KP: We started in college-level physics classes. Over the years, we expanded to chemistry, then to middle school math and science, and now to early math. Working with middle school students catalyzed significant evolution. Our team of educators, researchers, and software developers had to advance our design approaches, using implicit scaffolding to support productive exploration while keeping the simulations open, exploratory, and fun.
We have also expanded how PhET simulations can support the entire education community, including researchers and education companies. We’ve built a partnership program and are advancing a new line of PhET simulations that are customizable and have back-end data to enable research on learning, personalized feedback, and more authentic assessment.
Finally, we delved deep into Inclusive Design work, which integrates accessibility features. And we launched a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) in STEM Education initiative, working with teachers and students to create a comprehensive strategy for how PhET can support equitable STEM learning experiences for all.
JB: Building on the impact PhET has already had, what’s next?
KP: Even with over 100 simulations, we have more math and science concepts that need to be covered. It takes significant time, expertise, and money to build high-quality resources, but the investment really pays off when you see one simulation used millions of times. There’s a lot to do to improve global STEM education. We know that we are making an impact. Still, there are a lot of teachers and students we haven’t yet reached. Our goal moving forward is to make sure that every student gets the opportunity to fall in love with math and science.
Put on your student hat and give PhET simulations a try – your scientific curiosities could always use a wake-up!

The crisis counselors who answer West Virginia’s Suicide and Crisis Lifeline want to spread the message that everyone has a role in suicide prevention. On average, one person dies by suicide every 22 hours in the state. Terrance Hamm, director of West Virginia’s Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, says many deaths can be prevented with proper intervention.
“We have competent, compassionate crisis counselors here to help 24/7, but we can’t help those in distress if they don’t know about us,” Hamm said in a news release.
Vibrant, the company that administers the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, created the #BeThe1 campaign to explain the steps anyone can take to help those in their life who are showing signs of distress. They are:
Ask
Ask the tough question. When somebody you know is in emotional pain, ask them directly: “Are you thinking about killing yourself?”
Be there
If your friend is thinking about suicide, listen to their reasons for feeling hopeless and in pain. Listen with compassion and empathy and without dismissing or judging.
Keep them safe
Is your friend thinking about suicide? Ask if they’ve thought about how they would do it and separate them from anything they could use to hurt themselves.
Help them connect
Help your friend connect to a support system, whether it’s 988, family, friends, clergy, coaches, co-workers or therapists, so they have a network to reach out to for help.
Follow up
Check in with the person you care about regularly. Making contact with a friend in the days and weeks after a crisis can make a difference in keeping them alive.
Signs that a loved one may need intervention include:
Talking about wanting to die or to kill themselves.
Looking for a way to kill themselves, such as searching online or buying a gun.
Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live.
Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain.
Talking about being a burden to others.
Increasing their use of alcohol or drugs.
Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly.
Sleeping too little or too much.
Withdrawing or isolating themselves.
Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge.
Displaying extreme mood swings.
First Choice Services, a Charleston-based non- profit that operates 15 helplines focusing on addiction, mental health, and social services, answers calls, chats and texts from West Virginians seeking help from the National Suicide and Crisis Line. In July, that line changed its number to the easy-to-remember 988. From June to July, calls to the Lifeline from West Virginians increased by 22%. Along with the number change, there was an increased emphasis on promoting the chat and text feature. This led to a 218% increase in West Virginians using these features to seek help, measured from July 2021 to July 2022.
Anyone feeling depressed, suicidal, or needing emotional support can call or text 988 or chat online at WV988.org. For more information on how to support a friend or loved one in crisis, visit bethe1to.com.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Rail advocates are dusting off a proposal for passenger train service between Montreal and Boston, riding a renewed interest in train travel to bolster a concept that has been around for more than a decade.
“It’s not a hard sell at all. A lot of people want this,” said Francois Rebello, a former national assembly member in Quebec and a consultant on the project.
Hundreds of travelers would ride a privately operated, overnight train each day if obstacles can be overcome to make the service a reality in coming years, according to a ridership study.
It wouldn’t be a high-speed affair. Promoters envision a different experience — a relaxed ride with a meal and sleep before arriving bright-eyed at the destination. The 14-hour ride would travel through Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Quebec.
The proposal comes against a backdrop of a rail revival, and more than $100 billion in railway infrastructure funding approved by Congress.
Maine State Sen. Richard Bennett, a Republican who lives in a district where the train would pass, said there’s much work to be done.
“I’m both excited and skeptical,” he said. “I certainly support the concept and I think it has a lot of promise. I think this can be done.”
A market study suggests about 4,000 people travel daily between Montreal and Boston, and about 1,000 of them would opt for rail service if it’s available, Rebello said. The service would be profitable with only 200 riders, he said.
But the proposal is in the early stages and the obstacles are many.
The track on the Canadian side of the border requires more than $100 million in upgrades and repairs. The track is in good shape through northern New England but the speed is limited to about 35 mph (56 kph) for a long stretch, and there’s little hope of securing additional funding to boost the speed.
Operators would have to negotiate agreements with several private owners of the rail — the Saint Lawrence and Atlantic, CSX and others — and there could be multiple crews required for the train. Then there’s the question of clearing customs with people coming and going at multiple train stops, and finding scarce equipment.
The idea for restoring Montreal-to-Boston passenger rail service for the first time since the 1960s has been bounced around for more than a decade, and several different rail routes have been floated over the years.
This time, the proposed route would follow Canadian Pacific Railway track from Montreal to Sherbrooke, Quebec, and then the St. Lawrence and Atlantic across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, where a CSX-owned rail passes through Old Orchard Beach, a popular Maine tourist destination for Canadians. The final stretch is operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority.
Carl Fowler, a member of the Vermont Rail Advisory Council, is a rail advocate who likes the idea of expanded passenger rail service. But he said people have to be realistic about the proposal’s challenges.
“There are a lot of loose ends to be resolved,” he said.
Proponents have engaged with the Canadian Pacific Railway and the corporate parent of St. Lawrence and Atlantic, and the Canadian government already has considered investing in railway upgrades, Rebello said. Montreal real estate entrepreneur Nikolai Ray has signed on an investor.
About 60 rail advocates, legislators, tourism officials and others gathered recently in Coaticook, Quebec, to discuss the vision promoted by Montreal-based Fondation Trains De Nuit, or Night Train Foundation, and view a proposed map. Notably absent were state transportation officials from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
But the project won’t start anytime soon. The most optimistic view is that the project would need at least two years to become a reality, he said. However, it could take longer to secure funding and rail agreements.
A motorist could get from Boston to Montreal twice as fast but rail advocates say riders would get there in style. People could have dinner, be entertained and sleep in a comfortable bed, proponents say. They’d also be spared the cost of a hotel fee, since they’d be sleeping and showering on the train, supporters said.
The project holds appeal both for older riders who are nostalgic about trains and a younger generation that’s less enthralled with cars, Rebello said.
Rail enthusiast Sarah LeBaron von Baeyer, who lives outside Boston and doesn’t drive, said she “wholeheartedly” embraces mass transit that would allow her to visit family and friends in Canada several times a year.
“I love train travel. I lived in Japan for many years. It was absolutely the best way to get around,” she said.

BEIJING — Almost 500 students at China’s premier college for broadcast journalists have been sent to a quarantine center after a handful of COVID-19 cases were detected in their dormitory.
Quarantining anyone considered to have been in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus has been a pillar of China’s “zero-COVID” policy. The quarantine centers include field hospitals, as well as converted stadiums and exhibition centers that have been criticized for overcrowding, poor sanitation and spoiled food.
As of last week, approximately 65 million Chinese residents were under lockdown, despite just 1,248 new cases of domestic transmission being reported on Sunday. Most of those were asymptomatic.
The lockdowns have sparked protests online and confrontations with health workers and police, and have exacted a major toll on the economy, affecting global supply chains for electronics and other products. The weekslong lockdown in China’s biggest city of Shanghai over the summer prompted an exodus of migrant workers and foreign business people, the repercussions of which have yet to be felt.
With the release of economic data this week, analysts will be looking for insights into how China’s handling of the pandemic is impacting economic activity in the world’s second-largest economy. Lockdowns have been accompanied by nearly daily testing, travel restrictions and the suspension of classes at all levels.
China has pursued the relentless enforcement of the policy, even as virtually every other country has sought to return to normal life with the help of vaccines and drugs to fight the virus.
“Zero-COVID” is closely associated with President and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, leading to accusations that the government has politicized a public health crisis. His administration has rejected statements from the World Health Organization that the policy is unsustainable, and has refused to approve foreign vaccines that are widely considered more effective than those produced by Chinese companies.
Xi, who has not traveled abroad since the start of the pandemic in early 2020, has taken control of all levers of power and struck a confrontational tone in foreign policy, while sidelining or imprisoning rivals. He has eliminated term limits on the presidency and is expected to receive a third five-year term as Communist leader at next month's party congress.

Traffic heavy on expressways as people return home following Chuseok
SEOUL, Sept. 11 (Yonhap) -- Most highways and roads were clogged with heavy traffic early Sunday, as people were traveling back home on the third day of the four-day Chuseok holiday.
Chuseok, the Korean autumn harvest celebration, is one of the country's biggest traditional holidays and serves as a chance for family members to get together. Chuseok is celebrated on Aug. 15 in the lunar calendar, which fell on Saturday this year.
According to Korea Expressway Corp., major highways, particularly Seoul-bound ones, were jammed with vehicles, with the road congestion likely to peak at about 4-5 p.m.
As of 9 a.m., the estimated travel time to Seoul was 6 hours and 40 minutes from the southern port city of Busan, about 5 hours and 20 minutes from the southeastern city of Daegu, and 2 hours and 20 minutes from the central Daejeon city.
Some 5.43 million vehicles were expected to hit the roads on their way back home on Sunday alone, according to the authorities.

Which funny Halloween costume for adults is best?
There are many ways to approach a funny Halloween costume. You can play it subtle and go for quiet chuckles or shock everyone with a zany outfit that grabs your attention. Depending on the event, it may be appropriate to wear a raunchy outfit or better to wear something both funny and family-friendly.
If you want a modern classic that is a balance of funny and cool, the top choice is the Original Inflatable Dinosaur Costume.
What to know before you buy a funny Halloween costume for adults
Do you need a couple’s costume?
There are plenty of funny Halloween costumes for couples, so you can wear matching outfits with your significant other. Classic food combinations like “ketchup and mustard” or witty graphic tees are easy options.
Do you want to be the center of attention?
If you need a stand-alone funny costume that gets everyone smiling, there are a few ways to approach it. One method is pure shock value, but this is only a good choice if you don’t mind laughing at yourself. Dressing as a baby in a bonnet definitely lightens the mood at the cost of making yourself the butt of the joke. Another method for funny costume design is wearing a costume that looks relatively normal with a twist. You could also try wearing clothes meant to resemble a specific person. When people ask about your costume, you can reply with an amusing impression or joke.
Do people need to recognize you?
Wearing a funny mask or outfit is a great idea, but your options could be limited depending on the circumstances. If you are supervising trick-or-treaters, participating in a public Halloween-themed event or hosting a party, it’s important that your disguise is not too convincing. It could be hard for your friends to pick you out of a crowd if you completely blend in, even if your costume is attention-grabbing. If you are running an event, make sure you introduce yourself as people arrive so that they remember which costume to look for if they need to find you.
What to look for in a quality funny Halloween costume for adults
Simplicity
Costumes with too many details can distract from the punchline of your outfit. One exception might be dressing as a recognizable person or character who wears very specific clothes. Generally, a simple costume with a funny visual will be more budget-friendly. Funny costumes have to get right to the point if you want to make an immediate and comedic impact.
Size
A costume that is physically larger than your body and takes up more space is an easy way to get the crowd’s attention and make an impact. Keep in mind that you’ll likely be wearing this costume for a long period of time. It’s also important to consider where the costume will be worn. If it needs to be worn indoors, save yourself the headache and check if it can easily fit through the doors of the venue before purchasing.
Modifications
If you want a funny costume that will stand out from the crowd, look for quality costumes and components that can be easily modified or changed to reflect your unique personality. A generic costume is fine, but keep an eye out for funny costumes with lots of potential options. You might be able to repurpose old costumes and accessories over the years and change up your outfit to keep the jokes fresh.
How much you can expect to spend on a funny Halloween costume for adults
Simple costumes can be found or put together for less than $30. Higher-quality costumes, especially funny inflatable suits, go for $30-$100 depending on the size and materials.
Funny Halloween costume for adults FAQ
When should you not wear a funny costume?
A. It is important to consider the place you plan to wear your costume. Check to see if there’s a dress code at the parties you’ll be attending. Halloween is a great time to be creative and wear what you want, especially a funny outfit, but all jokes have a time and place. It is best to not show up to a stylish masquerade party wearing an embarrassing costume.
Should you get into character?
A. Yes. If you enjoy doing funny impressions, wearing a costume inspired by a celebrity or your favorite public figure could be an opportunity to get everyone laughing. You can wear a simple costume using normal clothing or items from a thrift store and combine the unassuming outfit with a comedic attitude for a winning combination that can spread Halloween cheer.

These unique gifts are sure to please anyone dedicated to that pumpkin spice life
For many people, fall officially begins once the pumpkin spice latte returns to the Starbucks menu. In the few months it’s available, pumpkin spice devotees go out of their way to get as much of the iconic PSL as they can.
If you have a loved one who just can’t get enough of the PSL or other pumpkin spice-related goodies, there are plenty of other products that celebrate this warm, cozy fall flavor and scent.
What is pumpkin spice and the PSL?
If you haven’t gotten on the PSL bandwagon, you probably aren’t sure what all the fuss is about. Despite its name, pumpkin spice doesn’t actually contain pumpkin. Instead, it refers to the blend of spices traditionally used to flavor pumpkin pie and other pumpkin-based recipes.
These spices include cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and allspice. You can buy pumpkin spice pre-blended, though, so you don’t have to do any mixing yourself.
The PSL has been a seasonal addition to the Starbucks menu for 19 years. The beverage contains Starbucks’ signature espresso and milk steamed with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. It’s then topped with whipped cream and pumpkin spice. You can get the PSL hot, iced or blended.

Haley declares 'America is worth fighting for, warns of fading national pride
Haley is speaking at the Congressional Medal of Honor Society
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Saturday called for the U.S. to renew its patriotism, declaring that America "is worth fighting for" — while warning of a fading national pride among younger generations.
Haley, in a speech to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society where she received the Patriot Award, paid tribute to those who have received the Medal of Honor in attendance.
"You, above all others, remind us that America is worth fighting for," she said, in prepared remarks obtained by Fox News Digital.
But she warned that anti-American sentiment is not just a characteristic of America’s foes at the United Nations — where she was the U.S. Ambassador from 2017-2019 — but is increasingly found within America’s own borders.
NIKKI HALEY: WE'RE NOT EXTREMISTS FOR WANTING OUR COUNTRY TO ‘GO BACK TO NORMAL’
"It pains me to say that we live in a time when national pride is fading fast. Now, I’m no stranger to people hating on the United States. I saw it every day at the U.N. Dictators and thugs loved to get in front of the camera and tell the world how bad America is," she said. "It’s their favorite pastime, and as far as I can tell, it’s now the main purpose of the United Nations."
"Proving the haters wrong and defending our country was the best part of the job. But I never expected to hear those same lies from my fellow Americans," she said.
Haley pointed to anger on social media, riots in cities across the country, as well as the "indoctrination of the college classroom and the cowardice in the corporate boardroom."
Pushing back against that sentiment, she cited her experience as a U.N. ambassador where she traveled to "dark places" where "life is cheap, liberty is non-existent and happiness is a distant dream."
"I was in the Democratic Republican of Congo, where they use rape as a weapon of war. I was in South Sudan, where I hugged mothers whose babies were taken from their arms and thrown into a fire, right in front of them. I saw images of dead children in Syria, where the dictator used chemical weapons to murder them. I dealt with North Korea, where the regime starves its people to feed its nuclear weapons program. And I confronted Communist China, where ethnic minorities are put in de facto concentration camps," she said.
As a result, she argued that America "isn’t just another country."
"America is the best nation in human history — and she deserves all of our love," she said. "We have to get our patriotism back. We have to raise up the next generation to love our country, not hate it."
Haley, a top hawk when it comes to the threats from countries like Iran and China, warned that U.S. foes enjoy seeing anti-American sentiment present on U.S. soil and are ready to "rush into the breach."

"Our enemies, at least, have the courage of their convictions. If we hope to beat them, then we must, too. The most important mission in America today is to end this self-loathing — and regain our self belief and pride," she argued.
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is a nonprofit aimed at preserving the legacy of the Medal of Honor and its recipients. There are currently 65 living recipients of the prestigious award.

NEW YORK (AP) — Waterfalls cascaded down the marble walls of the imposing early 20th-century Beaux-Arts building where Proenza Schouler showed its latest collection at New York Fashion Week.
To be clear, the water wasn’t actually wet, but rendered in video installations. Still, the soothing waterfalls set a strong sense of mood for the clothes on display in Friday’s runway show — particularly the cascading ruffles gracing a number of the ensembles, either spilling down the back of a dress or “dripping” down a long sleeve.
In the Hall des Lumières exhibition space, set in the old Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank building (an early example of a New York building in Beaux-Arts style), designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough presented a collection they said was a mix of their personal histories — in their own words, “the sensuous and fiery qualities of Lazaro’s Latin roots coupled with the pragmatism and grit of Jack’s American experience.” Water, the duo said, was chosen as a symbol of life.
The collection, which notably featured more skin-baring or sheer looks than the designers usually present, opened with two dresses with sheer, crocheted skirts and fringed bodices. Later there was a shimmering gold crocheted ensemble of a sleeveless top and sheer skirt.
Hernandez said backstage that the duo had found “this amazing community of hand weavers in Bolivia,” who worked on a set of pieces for six months.
In conceiving the show, McCollough said the duo had started with a series of silhouettes. The idea of water, he said, was expressed in the feeling of dripping — for example, the rippling feeling of a loose pair of bell-bottom trousers or a ruffled black leather skirt. In addition to the crocheted looks, lace dresses added another sheer look.
The designers, who met as students at the Parsons School of Design, named their fashion label after both of their mothers’ maiden names. They often base their collections on themes in contemporary art or culture.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania’s Interior Ministry said Saturday that one of its border systems was hit by a cyberattack that came from the same Iranian source as an earlier attack that led the country to break diplomatic relations with Iran.
It said in a statement that the previous evening an Albanian police transmitting system was found to be “under a cyberattack similar to the one that (government portal) e-Albania suffered in July.”
“Preliminary results show the attack was committed by the same hand,” the statement said, adding that authorities temporarily closed down all the systems, including the Total Information Management System (TIMS), which records entries and exits at the border crossing. Local media reported long queues in at least two border crossings in the south.
Albania, a NATO member, cut diplomatic ties with Iran and expelled its embassy staff this week. It was the first known case of a country cutting diplomatic relations over a cyberattack.
“Another cyberattack from the same aggressors already exposed and denounced by Albania’s allies and friendly countries, was seen last evening on the TIMS system,” Prime Minister Edi Rama tweeted on Saturday, adding that officials are coordinating defensive work with allies.
The Albanian government has accused Iran of carrying out the July 15 attack, which temporarily shut down numerous Albanian government digital services and websites.
Microsoft, the FBI and other cyber experts helped Albania following the July attack. Microsoft said in a blog post Thursday that it was moderately confident the hackers belong to a group that has been publicly linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security.
The U.S. government on Friday imposed sanctions on Iran’s intelligence agency and its leadership in response to the attack on Albania. NATO and the European Union also denounced the attack and supported Albania’s move.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Albert Pujols hit his 696th home run, tying Alex Rodriguez for fourth place on the career list, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied past the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5 Saturday night.
Pujols trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) on the all-time homer chart. The 42-year-old Pujols has 22 games left in his 22nd and final season in the big leagues.
“I don’t care who I tied,” Pujols said. “At the end of the day, it’s about tying (the game) for the team and giving them an opportunity to pick up a win. … It’s pretty special. I think I’m aware of where I am in the history of the game. But at the end of the day, 21 years ago when I make the ballclub, that wasn’t something that I was chasing.
“Twenty-two years later, I don’t think I’m going to change my approach,” he continued. “I think I’m going to let things happen and try to enjoy it. If it happens, it happens. If not, at the end of the day, I think everybody, including myself, are pretty blessed with the career that I have.”
With St. Louis down 3-1 in the sixth, Pujols connected on a first-pitch slider from JT Brubaker. He sent a two-run shot 418 feet into the left-field bleachers at PNC Park, launched with an exit velocity of 111.2 mph.
“I know it’s a historic home run, but it still sucks,” Brubaker said. “I should have walked off that mound giving our team the lead and I didn’t do it. That bothers me.”
Pujols also doubled and singled for the NL Central leaders. His RBI single in the eighth made it 4-all.
“Albert, three knocks. Big homer there,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “ … Fouled two pitches off in the top of the zone. He knew he had to make an adjustment to get on top of it. Was able to let it get a little deep, got on top of it for a single. Drove in that run. That’s a pro at bat.”
Nolan Arenado broke the tie with a three-run double with two outs in the ninth off Wil Crowe (5-9).
“You have a guy that is grinding right now,” Marmol said. “He’s played a lot of games in a row. Head stays in it, gives us a good at bat there and drives in three runs. That was nice to see.”
Giovanny Gallegos (3-5) pitched a perfect eighth inning for the Cardinals. Ryan Helsley allowed a two-out RBI single from Bryan Reynolds in the ninth before getting Rodolfo Castro to ground out for his 15th save.
Paul Goldschmidt was 0 for 4, dropping his average to .325 to fall behind Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman (.330) in the NL batting race. His two-out walk loaded the bases in the ninth.
Oneil Cruz put the Pirates ahead 4-3 in the seventh with his 14th homer, driven over the Clemente Wall in right. The 23-year-old rookie singled in the first, extending his hit streak to a career-best seven games. He is 14 for 30 (.467) during the streak.
“He’s a good player,” Pujols said of Cruz. “Obviously, he has a great future ahead of him.”
Pittsburgh took a 3-0 lead on a pair of homers off Jack Flaherty in the first two innings, a solo shot from Castro in the first and a two-run drive from Jack Suwinski in the second. Flaherty went five innings, giving up three runs on six hits.
Brendan Donovan cut the deficit to two with a home run in the Cardinals fifth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: LHP Packy Naughton was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. … RHP James Naile was optioned to Memphis.
Pirates: RHP David Bednar threw a live batting practice on Saturday. The All-Star closer has been on the injured list with lower back tightness since Aug. 3.
UP NEXT
Cardinals LHP José Quintana (5-6, 3.41 ERA) will return to the mound in Pittsburgh on Sunday, going opposite RHP Mitch Keller (5-10, 4.22). Quintana and RHP Chris Stratton were sent to St. Louis on Aug. 1 in a trade that moved RHP Johan Oviedo and INF Malcolm Nuñez to the Pirates. Keller allowed five hits in six shutout innings against the Mets his last time out on Tuesday.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — First came the twisting, falling backward touchdown throw. Then came the duck and dodge slip away from a sack that turned into a 20-yard scamper.
Two fourth-quarter plays by Bryce Young once again carried top-ranked Alabama to a victory. The Crimson Tide escaped Texas with 20-19 win Saturday after Young’s scramble set up Will Reichard’s 33-yard field goal with 10 seconds left.
“Houdini act,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said of the player he once helped recruit when he was an assistant at Alabama.
Texas had pressured last season’s Heisman Trophy winner for most of the day, only to lose its grip on him late.
“We know what it takes,” Young said of the final drive that started at the Alabama 25 and moved across midfield in two plays. “We embrace that challenge. That’s where we want to be at.”
Young’s clutch play rescued Alabama on an uncharacteristically sloppy day for the Crimson Tide (2-0), who struggled with penalties and dropped passes and was forced into six consecutive punts in one stretch. Texas (1-1) stuffed Alabama on fourth-and-inches late to set up a go-ahead field goal by Bert Auburn with 1:39 remaining.
“When his best was needed, he was really good,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said of Young. “And that’s what we needed.”
Young also spoiled what could have been a program-defining victory for Texas and Sarkisian after last season’s 5-7 finish. Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers was knocked out with a shoulder injury at the end of the first quarter. Sarkisian said Ewers had a sprained clavicle and would have more tests to determine how bad it is.
The steady hand of backup Hudson Card and an inspired defense helped Texas build a 16-10 lead early in the fourth, and then drive for the lead again on Auburn’s fourth field goal of the day.
Young was 27-of-39 passing for 213 yards with the scrambling TD throw to Jahmyr Gibbs that gave Alabama a 17-16 lead. Jase McLellan had an 81-yard touchdown run for Alabama in the first quarter.
Alabama avoided its first nonconference regular-season loss since 2007 against Louisiana-Monroe in Saban’s first season.
“Nobody gave us a chance in this game. … None of you, no one in the national media,” Sarkisian said. “We played like a team that believed it could win the game.”
THE TAKEAWAY
Alabama: The Tide was all out of sorts. Eleven first-half penalties and dropped passes showed a level of sloppy play seldom seen by Saban teams. Last season’s Bronko Nagurski Award winner Will Anderson struggled to make plays against an inexperienced Texas offensive line that started two freshmen.
“It’s all about discipline, making the right choices and decisions, whether it’s post-snap, it doesn’t matter. We’ve got to play better, there’s no doubt about that,” Saban said.
Texas: Texas looks reborn on defense. Sarkisian hired defensive guru and former TCU head coach Gary Patterson as a special assistant last spring. But Texas now has new questions at quarterback if Ewers is out for an extended period. He was electric early against the Tide and had already passed for 134 yards in the first quarter before he was hurt. Card, who lost the starting job after two games last season, finished 14-of-22 passing for 158 yards.
BACK ON TRACK
Saban won his first 25 matchups against former assistants who became head coaches, and then lost two last season against Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and then Kirby Smart of Georgia in last season’s national championship game. Sarkisian was Saban’s offensive coordinator when Alabama won the 2020 national title.
POLL POSITION
This could be one of those rare situations where the top-ranked team gets penalized for not playing well in a win, while the loser earns respect for nearly stealing a victory in what was expected to be a blowout. If voters weren’t impressed by Alabama, the Tide could drop behind No. 2 Georgia. Texas, unranked but receiving votes, may have been impressive enough to sneak into the bottom of the rankings.
RECORD CROWD FOR FUTURE RIVAL
Texas, which is scheduled to join the Southeastern Conference ahead of the 2025 season, drew a record crowd of 105,213 to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Anderson was impressed by a crowd that hampered Alabama signal calls at the line of scrimmage all game.
“This is probably like the loudest environment I’ve played in. the hardest game, since I’ve been in college football,” Anderson said. “Super loud, a lot of energy.”
NO SAFETY
Texas got what initially looked like a sack and a safety that would have given the Longhorns a 12-10 lead and the ball early in the third quarter. Even the Alabama kickoff team was gathered on the field. But the game officials, who at first threw a flag for targeting, waived that off and the safety and Alabama was allowed to punt instead.
UP NEXT
Alabama hosts Louisiana-Monroe.
Texas hosts UTSA next Saturday.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — The Republican candidate for Kansas governor tried Saturday to make the Democratic incumbent’s support for abortion rights a political liability, even with a strong statewide vote last month in favor of preserving access to abortion.
GOP nominee Derek Schmidt, a three-term Kansas attorney general, said during a debate at the Kansas State Fair that he respects the Aug. 2 vote, in which voters decisively rejected a proposed amendment to the state constitution to allow the GOP-controlled Legislature to greatly restrict or ban abortion. But he argued that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly favors abortion with no restrictions “up to the moment of birth” and public funding for elective abortions.
The statewide vote “does not mean the discussion has ended,” Schmidt told a crowd of about 800 people.
“What was not on the ballot was Gov. Kelly’s position,” he said.
Kelly said she’s confident that she stands with a majority of Kansas in opposing the proposed constitutional change. While she has strongly supported abortion rights throughout her political career and opposed restrictions now on the books, she has been careful not to say she would push for the repeal of existing restrictions. That wouldn’t be likely anyway, with Republicans in control of the Legislature.
Asked about Schmidt’s characterization of her position on abortion, she said, “He’s making that up. You know, I have never said that.”
Kelly is the only Democratic governor running for reelection this year from a state carried by former President Donald Trump in 2020, making her a tempting GOP target. Many Republicans still anticipate that frustrations with high inflation and red-state opposition to Democratic President Joe Biden will boost Schmidt’s chances of winning in November.
Schmidt’s television ads seek to tie Kelly to Biden, blame them both for inflation and portray the two Democrats as big-spending liberals, and he continued that throughout the State Fair debate before its raucous crowd, drawing chants from Kelly supporters of “Schmidt’s unfit!” and “Bull-Schmidt!” The fair debate is a tradition for governor’s and U.S. Senate races, and organizers encourage partisans to chant, shout and wave signs as other fairgoers take in exhibitions, ride Midway attractions and sample cuisine such as “moink,” meatballs wrapped in bacon on a stick.
Pat McFerron, a Republican pollster from Oklahoma City who’s worked for Kansas Republican U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, said people concerned most about economic issues tend to be swing voters.
“Two months ago, they were all voting Republican, when gas prices were high,” he said.
But Kelly brushed off the criticism, touting the state’s improved finances and her efforts to lure businesses to Kansas, noting several times that Japanese electronics giant Panasonic Corp. announced in July that it planned to build a multi-billion-dollar plant to manufacture batteries for electric-powered vehicles employing as many as 4,000 people. Kansas is providing $829 million in taxpayer-funded incentives over 10 years.
As for being tied to Biden, Kelly said after the debate, “I have really stayed away from Washington politics.”
Schmidt has promoted conservative causes as attorney general, frequently bringing Kansas into GOP lawsuits against Democratic presidents, though he also has an affable public persona. After the 2020 presidential election, he joined an unsuccessful lawsuit by Texas seeking to overturn the results in four battleground states won by Biden.
He noted several times that he’s been willing to challenge the Biden’s administration on a wide variety of issues, including environmental regulations. He called himself a Republican in the mold of the late U.S. Senate Majority Leader and GOP icon Bob Dole.
“We will stand up and fight back,” Schmidt said in his closing.
Neither candidate has focused much on abortion as an issue, despite the statewide vote in August, though some Democrats have argued that doing so would help Kelly. Schmidt opposes most abortions, saying he’d support exceptions to preserve a woman’s life, in cases of rape and incest and when a fetus as such a debilitating medical condition that it wouldn’t survive after birth.
But the issue arose when the candidates were asked whether they would support retaining six of the seven Kansas Supreme Court justices, who face votes in November on whether they stay on the bench. The proposed anti-abortion amendment was a response to the court’s 2019 ruling declaring access to abortion a “fundamental” right under the state constitution.
Two of the six justices on the ballot were in the 6-1 majority in that 2019 ruling, and another three are Kelly appointees who replaced others. The last justice on the ballot is Caleb Stegall, the dissenter in the case, an appointee of conservative GOP Gov. Sam Brownback.
Kelly said she would vote to retain the justices, while Schmidt said he would vote to “retain some and not retain others.” He didn’t say which justices he would oppose retaining during the debate and refused to answer questions afterward.

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour had a poignant tribute for the Queen, necking a Cobra bomb in her honour after she passed away on Thursday.
Football has been postponed this weekend after Her Majesty died this week while there have been a long line of well-wishers for the Royal Family. As Charles ascends to the throne as this country's new king, perhaps the most touching came from Parlour.
The ex-Arsenal star tweeted a video on Saturday night: “[Cobra emoji and bomb emoji] for the Queen. Have a great weekend everyone and happy birthday if it’s yours x.”

“How is everyone, great weekend I hope you are having,” Parlour said to his followers. “Great night last night for myself in Worthing, I had a good time thanks to all the guys who turned up and had a really good time.
“Thanks to all you guys for taking me out as well, dancing in the street having a really good time. It was fantastic, that’s what it’s all about a little bit of spirit. But, it’s also a sad weekend because obviously of the passing of The Queen, unbelievable lady.
"What a legend she is, I was gutted that the Arsenal team went to see her in 2007, I had left the club. I would have loved to have met The Queen but didn’t get the opportunity to.
“What a lovely lady and it’s so sad, we are going to miss her dearly I promise you. So it’s got to be a Cobra bomb for The Queen, I am sure she didn’t drink Cobra bombs, she had a little tipple somewhere along the line but I don’t know what she usually drinks.
“But what a great, great lady she is and good luck to King Charles III now, so all the best Charles and hopefully all goes well, I am sure it will I am sure he is going to be a great king going forward, and pass it down to his sons in the end.”
Parlour then mixed the lethal concoction of a Cobra lager with Jagermeister before seeing it off in style. “I have got to do a Cobra bomb first, for The Queen,” the Romford Pele said.
“Even if she doesn’t like Cobra bombs I am sure she will be looking down hopefully and saying ‘Thanks Ray, really appreciate that’, so here we go and by the way it’s an absolute tribute that all the games were called off this weekend for The Queen.”

BEIJING (AP) — Almost 500 students at China’s premier college for broadcast journalists have been sent to a quarantine center after a handful of COVID-19 cases were detected in their dormitory.
The 488 students at Communication University of China, along with 19 teachers and five assistants, were transferred by bus beginning Friday night.
Quarantining anyone considered to have been in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus has been a pillar of China's "zero-COVID" policy. The quarantine centers include field hospitals, as well as converted stadiums and exhibition centers that have been criticized for overcrowding, poor sanitation and spoiled food.
As of last week, approximately 65 million Chinese residents were under lockdown, despite just 1,248 new cases of domestic transmission being reported on Sunday. Most of those were asymptomatic.
The lockdowns have sparked protests online and confrontations with health workers and police, and have exacted a major toll on the economy, affecting global supply chains for electronics and other products. The weekslong lockdown in China's biggest city of Shanghai over the summer prompted an exodus of migrant workers and foreign business people, the repercussions of which have yet to be felt.
With the release of economic data this week, analysts will be looking for insights into how China's handling of the pandemic is impacting economic activity in the world’s second-largest economy. Lockdowns have been accompanied by nearly daily testing, travel restrictions and the suspension of classes at all levels.
China has pursued the relentless enforcement of the policy, even as virtually every other country has sought to return to normal life with the help of vaccines and drugs to fight the virus.
“Zero-COVID” is closely associated with President and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, leading to accusations that the government has politicized a public health crisis. His administration has rejected statements from the World Health Organization that the policy is unsustainable, and has refused to approve foreign vaccines that are widely considered more effective than those produced by Chinese companies.
Xi, who has not traveled abroad since the start of the pandemic in early 2020, has taken control of all levers of power and struck a confrontational tone in foreign policy, while sidelining or imprisoning rivals. He has eliminated term limits on the presidency and is expected to receive a third five-year term as Communist leader at next month's party congress.
