DETROIT — The North American International Auto Show returned to Detroit for the first time in three years.
The event will take place September 14-25 at Huntington Place and other locations, including different parks and the Detroit Riverfront.
This year’s show will "be an indoor and outdoor city-wide celebration of mobility," said Rod Alberts, the Detroit Auto Dealers Association executive director.
President Joe Biden is also set to appear at the auto show on Wednesday.
During a White House American Rescue Plan event, Biden was asked about the show.
He said he would be there because he's a "car guy."
According to the Associated Press, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and other cabinet members are also set to attend.
This year's auto show will also only feature the debut of one new car model, the Ford Mustang, the news outlet reported.
The Associated Press reported that it's set to be unveiled at an outdoor event Wednesday along the Detroit River.
This year's event will likely be smaller than in years past, the Associated Press reported.
According to the news outlet, this year’s auto show will feature more consumer-friendly events.
The show hasn't been held in three years due to the pandemic, with the event also moved from January to September, the Associated Press reported.
“The industry has changed — the world has changed,” Karl Zimmermann, vice president of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association, told the news outlet. “Do I think it’s going to be the same as it was before? No. It's a much different format. We’re using [it] indoors. We’re using outdoors.”

Both directions of I-405 will close all day Saturday while crews dig out and replace a collapsed culvert in south Bellevue, which state officials said might otherwise cause a sinkhole in the road.
The freeway blockage will constrict suburban traffic and reduce options for regional drivers avoiding I-5 expansion joint repairs Saturday that remove three lanes in Seattle’s Sodo area — and will frustrate Husky football fans from the Eastside attending Saturday’s 4:30 p.m. home game against Michigan State.
The work zone is near Exit 9, the 112th Avenue Southeast/Lake Washington Boulevard interchange, which averaged 147,000 mainline trips per day last year.
The Washington State Department of Transportation said the failed culvert caused a 15-foot-deep sinkhole this spring in the Newport Hills Park and Ride, and “has the potential to cause similar sinkholes under mainline I-405.” Culverts are pipes or concrete basins where small streams flow beneath a roadway, sometimes along fish migration routes.
The announced I-405 work phases are:
- Thursday from 11 p.m. – 5 a.m. Friday: The southbound Exit 9 offramp will close, while the mainline shrinks to two lanes from Exit 10 at Coal Creek Parkway until after Exit 9.
- A 23-hour closure, from 11 p.m. Friday until 10 p.m. Saturday, affecting the entire mainline. Flaggers will be herding all traffic off the freeway and around the work zone using Exit 9 ramps.
- A Sunday closure of the Exit 9 onramp to northbound I-405 from 11 p.m. Saturday until 9 p.m. Sunday.
On the Seattle side of Lake Washington, WSDOT said it plans to finish this weekend’s round of Sodo expansion-joint construction early, in the right-side southbound lanes of I-5.
Lane closures begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday and last until 6 a.m. Sunday. The early ending enables drivers to enter the right I-5 lanes and reach the West Seattle Bridge exit Sunday when the city reopens the seven-lane span, after a two-year shutdown for crack repairs.
“This is a big deal for a lot of people, and the last thing we want to do is interfere with people’s ability to use the West Seattle Bridge and enjoy West Seattle,” spokesperson Tom Pearce said.
City transportation managers won’t reveal the exact hour Sunday the West Seattle Bridge reopens because drivers might cluster around the onramps to be first across, program manager Heather Marx said.
Besides the Huskies game, the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, along with concerts in Seattle and Woodinville, will attract drivers who normally take I-405, state officials warn.
Sound Transit light rail is running at normal 10-minute frequency between Northgate and Angle Lake. The west stairwell at Northgate Station will close Saturday for maintenance, while as of midweek, a total of 12 escalators and two elevators were inoperable within the four downtown stations.
Washington State Ferries, while still struggling with chronic crew shortages, has restored full two-boat service on the Mukilteo-Clinton and Seattle-Bainbridge routes, and sometimes can add a second boat on the Edmonds-Kingston route.
Next week, WSDOT will resume construction on westbound I-90 approaching Issaquah, where traffic will shrink to one lane from 9 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Friday, causing traffic delays. Crews are resurfacing a one-mile segment where runoff inside an abandoned coal mine seeped under the freeway, leading to cracks.

The Food Safety officials on Wednesday seized 13 tonnes of non-iodised salt that was sold without authorisation in Koyambedu.
P. Satheesh Kumar, designated officer, Food Safety Department, Chennai, said a team raided a godown-cum-shop in Koyambedu where they found 13 tonnes of salt. “They claimed that the salt was for industrial use and the shop owner did not possess any documents. We found that they were selling the salt for public use. They packed the salt and sold it under a local name. They do not have a licence for selling salt since 2000 but have been selling it for the last four to five years,” he said. The salt was not iodised. “We have sought an explanation from the owner,” he said.

The Punjab Police on Wednesday registered a case after the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) complained to the State DGP, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of an attempt to poach its MLAs.
State Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema along with party MLAs had met DGP Gaurav Yadav over the issue and demanded a thorough probe.
The ruling party had earlier said at least its 10 MLAs were approached by BJP people with a offer of ₹25 crore each in a bid to topple the State government.
An official spokesperson of the State Police said, "Following a complaint filed by some MLAs of the state, the Punjab Police registered a first information report under Section 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Sections 171-B and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC)." The spokesperson added, "Police registered an FIR on prima facie basis and the investigation has been transferred to the Vigilance Bureau as per standard guidelines."
Congress seeks independent investigation
Earlier in the day, the Opposition Congress had dared the ruling party to get the issue probed by an independent agency under the supervision of the High Court. A senior BJP leader also sought a CBI investigation into the accusations, describing the claims as a "most ridiculous joke".
Mr. Cheema was accompanied by party MLAs Budh Ram, Kulwant Pandori, Manjit Singh Bilaspur, Dinesh Chadha, Raman Arora, Narinder Kaur Bharaj, Rajneesh Dahiya, Rupinder Singh Happy, Sheetal Angural, and Labh Singh Ugoke to the DGP's office on Wednesday.
Addressing the media in Chandigarh, Mr. Cheema said to "expose the unholy tactics" of the BJP, he and AAP MLAs gave a formal complaint along with "all proofs" to DGP Yadav for a fair probe into the matter.
A complaint against BJP leaders and agents has also been filed for allegedly issuing death threats to Jalandhar West MLA Sheetal Angural, he said.
"He was told that if the evidence was presented, then he would be killed. We have proof of this also," Mr. Cheema claimed.
He said BJP agents and workers from Delhi and Punjab had allegedly tried to break away 35 MLAs from AAP to topple the government in Punjab.
Mr. Cheema accused the BJP of murdering democracy by toppling elected governments in various States after using Central agencies like the CBI and the ED and also by offering money.
‘Operation Lotus’ failed in Punjab, Delhi: AAP
But the "Operation Lotus" has completely failed in Punjab, said Mr. Cheema.
The Finance Minister claimed the BJP is threatened by the rising graph of AAP in other States. The BJP will never succeed in its "wicked plans" in Punjab even if they offer ₹2,200 crore because the loyal soldiers of AAP under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal and CM Bhagwant Mann are standing like a rock, he said.
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said the BJP's "Operation Lotus" had earlier failed in Delhi where it could not buy AAP legislators.
"Now, they have tried to approach six-seven MLAs in Punjab," said Mr. Mann in a video message. "The MLAs were offered money," he alleged.
BJP demands CBI probe
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh demanded a CBI investigation into the accusations while describing the ruling party's claims as the "most ridiculous joke".
Mr. Chugh said, "It is the most ridiculous joke that AAP is playing on Punjabis for the simple reason that they want to deflect the people's attention from gross corruption the AAP government has done in liquor policy in Punjab." Mr. Chugh said by going to the DGP with a complaint on the basis of "fake calls", the AAP government is getting into cheap and deceptive politics, which in the long run would prove to be a disaster for Punjab.
He said a similar tactic was adopted by AAP in Delhi, which ultimately "proved to be a hoax".
"AAP is playing politics of ridicule and mimicry to divert people's attention from the core issues that are putting a grave threat to Punjab," he said.
The Punjab Congress demanded that the AAP government get the issue probed by an independent investigating agency under the supervision of the High Court.
It also asked AAP to produce evidence against the BJP on the allegations of horse trading in the State.
"There is strong probability of AAP imploding in Punjab with MLAs feeling suffocated, disillusioned and alienated as the power is being wielded and enjoyed by outsiders," state Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring said.
Hence, the party is trying to make an excuse as it did in Delhi by levelling similar allegations and nothing came out of those allegations there, he stated.

Cost of living crisis: Sainsbury’s reveal Autumn pay rise for staff, free food and increased discounts
The lowest-paid workers are getting further support through the cost of living crisis.
Sainsbury’s has revealed a new £25 million plan to help their lowest paid store-workers deal with the rising cost of living.
Starting October, 127,000 hourly workers will get a 25p an hour pay rise, increasing their pay to £10.25 an hour with London staff earning £11.30.
As well as a pay increase, store-workers will also be getting free food during their shifts as well as increased in-store discounts.
This is Sainsbury’s second pay rise this year, with a 5% pay rise being implemented back in the spring of 2022.
Most Popular
The new pay rise increases the company’s wage bills to £150 million annually., and combined with millions of pounds being used to keep food prices down, will leave a mark on Sainsbury’s profits.
Simon Roberts, chief executive of Sainsbury’s, said: “Every day I am hearing from colleagues who are really feeling the pressures of the rising cost of living,
“That’s why we are doing everything we can to help our colleagues as they face rising bills and living costs this autumn. This is the first time we have given two pay rises in the same year.”
The 25p pay rise will cost Sainsbury’s £20 million, and an additional £5 million will be used to provide its employees with free food such as toast, soup and porridge.
As well as a pay rise and free food, the employee discounts, which are currently at 10% at Sainsbury’s and its partner store Argo’s, will be increased to 15% and 20% in time for Christmas shopping.
Roberts adds: “We had a debate over whether we should leave this until next year or bring forward some of this now, given the challenges of the autumn and winter ahead,
“We have 127,000 people that get up every day, often in the middle of the night, to get our stores and operations ready for customers. We need to support them as we go into this winter period. Therefore we made the choice to bring forward this pay increase to now.”
Sainsbury’s has invested £65 million to keep food prices competitive as part of a two year plan to keep costs down during the increasing energy bill costs and the rising inflation.
“Prices are going up slower at Sainsbury’s than at any of our competitors and that means our volumes are increased,” Roberts said.
“The comparison between prices at Sainsbury’s and prices at Aldi have never been so close as they are now. Customers are choosing to do more of their shopping with us as they get confident that the prices of everyday products like fruit, vegetables, chicken, dairy and bread, which are really strong.”

DNA leads to an arrest in 2014 killing of Texas family
HOUSTON (AP) — Authorities say newly tested DNA evidence helped them make an arrest in the killings more than eight years ago of a family, including two boys, who were shot in their suburban Houston home.
Feng Lu, 58, who had long been considered a suspect in the case, was arrested on Sunday by police in San Francisco after his arrival from China, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
Lu has been charged with capital murder in the deaths of Maoye Sun and his wife Mei Xie and the couple’s two sons, 7-year-old Titus and 9-year-old Timothy, the sheriff said in a tweet on Tuesday.
Lu was being held Wednesday at a jail in San Mateo County, California, pending extradition to Texas. Court records did not list an attorney for Lu who could speak on his behalf.
The bodies of all four family members were found on Jan. 30, 2014, in their home in the Houston suburb of Cypress. All had been shot in the head. Investigators said Sun was last seen alive leaving work on Jan. 24.
Lu was linked to the killings after new forensic testing done in January on samples that previously were not able to be identified showed that Lu’s DNA was found on a purse that belonged to Xie, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The DNA testing contradicted statements Lu had made previously to investigators in which he had said he did not know Xie or her children and didn’t know where the family lived, according to the affidavit.
Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the killings, but according to the affidavit, Lu had unsuccessfully tried to get Sun’s help with a promotion at work. Both had worked at Cameron International, which provides products and services to oil and gas companies.
Lu “stated he believed that (Sun) made derogatory comments about him to fellow co-workers ... which may have been the reason he did not get the promotion,” according to the affidavit.
Investigators say Lu had bought a handgun a week before the killings and then returned it five days after the killings without the weapon’s barrel. Authorities allege Lu gave inconsistent stories about what happened to the gun’s barrel. Investigators also allege that bullets Lu had bought with the gun had likely been manufactured on the same machine as the bullet that killed one of the boys, Titus.

LANSING, Mich., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AP Lazer® unveils the AP Lazer SN1812LR System, a compact AP Lazer open architecture engraving/cutting machine, combined with a fume extractor – ideally suited for retailers and entrepreneurs to create a memorable and interactive indoor shopping experience.
The patented SN1812LR laser machine features a low rider carriage cart, allowing it to effortlessly move from its top position to the floor and can engrave objects of any weight, size or shape – adding personalization revenue onto store products.
The system can fit into retail spaces without overshadowing displays, and all accessories are included. It features a fume extractor; a rotary table for cylindrical engraving of products such as tumblers and wine glasses; computer software; complete training; and 24/7 365 tech support. The system is designed for brick-and-mortar retailers to adapt the technology in-house, or an entrepreneur to partner with local retailers.
AP Lazer discovered a high market potential for their open architecture laser machines in the retail space through a successful Crate & Barrel 2021 holiday season promotion, when AP Lazer customer, Cutting Edge Lazer Engraving, was hired to engrave products in-store.
"It was a good promotion for the store, my company, and for the customers who were wowed when watching their holiday ornaments, cutting boards, platters, wine glasses and other items engraved in real time before their eyes," said Nicole Smith, owner of the engraving company. "Customers literally teared up in front of us as they saw their items transformed into timeless treasures."
"When a meaningful message is engraved onto the store product, the shopping experience is elevated to an interactive and emotional level. At the same time, the extra profit can be added to the product without increasing the cost of goods," explained AP Lazer CEO Tong Li. "Having a gift laser engraved in front of your eyes with a message of love, memory, friendship or inspiration – is interactive, memorable, and emotional."
Li also sees the millennial generation leading the trend of increasing consumer spending on experiences, creating memories, and purchasing meaningful products over luxury items. "Our materialistic culture is leaning towards more spiritual and emotional aspects of life," said Li. "We want to bring the emerging emotional and spiritual market to retail stores with our laser machines. The potential is as unlimited as love."
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, AP Lazer is a privately owned manufacturer and distributor of patented, open architecture CNC laser machines. AP Lazer provides 24/7 tech support 365 days a year. Its customers are located throughout the U.S. and on six continents. AP LAZER® CO2 laser machines are manufactured in Canada by AP Lazer Canada MFG. Inc, located in Windsor, Ontario.

Even at 25 miles an hour, you had to see this coming from a mile away.
When the Hoboken City Council passed a law to reduce the speed limit on all streets to 20 miles per hour, it was just a matter of time before the road signage went up and the law went into effect.
Well you crazy 25-miles-per-hour drivers, always pushing it the limit — your time is up.
The city of Hoboken and Hudson County Wednesday began installing new signage and striping to reduce the citywide speed limit as prescribed in the measure approved July 6. Citing the city’s Vision Zero traffic initiative, city officials say lowering the speed of traffic will cut down on crashes and crash-related injuries.
Eight speed feedback signs at gateways to Hoboken and new 20 MPH speed limit signs have been installed across the city, officials said. Hudson County will also restripe portions of Willow Avenue to convert existing 25 MPH pavement markings to 20 MPH.
Police officers will be on site to mitigate temporary traffic impacts on Willow Avenue.
The reduced speed limit is the latest safety improvement, following curb extensions, high visibility crosswalks, corner daylighting, leading pedestrian intervals and dedicated bicycle facilities. Research shows that even a small reduction in vehicle speeds can have a significant impact on decreasing the severity of crashes.
“A citywide 20 MPH speed limit is the latest commitment we are making to ensure our streets are safer for residents and visitors of all ages and abilities,” Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla said. “While we continue to make great strides to implement safety improvements to our streets, this important change will provide even greater protection to children, seniors, and our most vulnerable residents
”... Together, as a community, we can reach our Vision Zero goals of eliminating all traffic-related deaths and severe injuries over the next several years.”
The implementation of new speed limit also includes educational initiatives to help inform drivers and improve compliance rates through a partnership with the Hoboken Police Department and Hudson County Sheriff’s Department.
“The education campaign and our new stationary speed signs on the eight entry points to the city, will go a long way in calming the traffic and protecting pedestrian, driver, and cyclist lives,” Public Safety Director Kenneth Ferrante said. “An enforcement campaign will then be introduced on the north and south ends of our city , where the Hoboken Police Department and Hudson County Sheriff’s Depart will collaborate to ensure that drivers are operating at safe speeds.”
Since Mayor Bhalla established the City’s Vision Zero initiative and launched the Vision Zero Task Force by executive order in 2019, Hoboken city streets have not had a traffic-related fatality. The city was cited in a speech by Pete Buttegieg, the secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation earlier this year.
“The 20 MPH speed limit implementation has been a top priority for me since its discussion as part of the Vision Zero Action Plan,” said Council Vice President and Vision Zero Task Force member Emily Jabbour. “We know that the chances of serious injury increase exponentially as the speed of a vehicle increases; this policy change is a commonsense approach to improve pedestrian safety for our city, and I’m thankful that Hudson County and Hoboken’s Transportation Department were able to work together to make possible.”

#ParamountPlusIT #ParamountPlus
MILAN, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Paramount+, the global streaming service from Paramount (NASDAQ: PARA, PARAA), launches tomorrow, September 15th, in Italy with more than 8,000 hours of entertainment.
Paramount Global rolled out the Blue Carpet and hosted a dazzling star-studded event today, September 14th, at the iconic Cinecittà Studios in Rome to celebrate the Italian launch of Paramount+. Following the event, the service revealed its content slate that features the biggest stars and most compelling stories. Roberto Benigni, Elodie, Greta Scarano and Carlo Verdone are among the Italian stars aligning on Paramount+, alongside global talent including Harrison Ford, Jessica Chastain, Helen Mirren, Sylvester Stallone, Miles Teller and more.
The streaming service provides a broad slate for the whole family, spanning new and exclusive Paramount+ originals, hit shows and popular movies across every genre from Paramount's world-renowned brands and production studios, including Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, SHOWTIME® and the Smithsonian Channel™, offering the best from international exclusive titles and local content.
Global series that will become available on Paramount+ in Italy include THE OFFER, based on Oscar®-winning producer Albert S. Ruddy's extraordinary, never-before-seen experiences of making "The Godfather", THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, which follows a new alien character who arrives on Earth at a turning point in human evolution, and TULSA KING, with Sylvester Stallone playing the role of Dwight "The General" Manfredi just after he is released from a 25-year prison sentence and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Additionally, Paramount+ will be the home of a selection of new blockbuster films following their theatrical and home entertainment releases, including "Top Gun: Maverick," which will arrive on the service in Italy in 2022.
The service is investing in local content and talent, with an unrivalled line-up of Italian originals, such as the newly announced FRANCESCO IL CANTICO, an immersive reading of one of the most iconic texts dedicated to love, hosted by Oscar®-winning Italian star Roberto Benigni; a new season of VITA DA CARLO, which sees beloved Italian comedian and actor Carlo Verdone as director and lead of this highly anticipated series around his life; TI MANGIO IL CUORE, the film based on Carlo Bonini and Giuliano Foschini's novel-investigation of the mafia in Foggia, and starring Elodie in her first acting role; in addition to CIRCEO, MISS FALLACI, QUATTORDICI GIORNI, CORPO LIBERO, EX ON THE BEACH and ARE YOU THE ONE? Animated series such as the newest instalments of "Beavis and Butt-Head" and "South Park" will also get an Italian touch with local voice talent. The scripted slates will also include all previously announced scripted originals, including BOSÉ, a six-episode series that tells the story of the incredible life of Miguel Bosé, an international superstar that began his career in the late 1970s.
"Tonight, we are celebrating the debut of Paramount+, which seamlessly combines Hollywood with Italian storytelling and creativity. Italy has been a home to Paramount for many years and now we're bringing the best Italian – and global – films and series together in one place, on Paramount+," said Tom Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Streaming, Paramount, during the Blue Carpet event's presentation.
"We're the only streaming service where you'll see Sylvester Stallone, 'SpongeBob', 'Star Trek', 'South Park' and incredible Italian stars like Elodie and Verdone... all in one place," said Marco Nobili, Executive Vice President and International General Manager of Paramount+, during the event's presentation. "With over 100 years of storytelling experience from our renowned Hollywood studio to our international production hubs - Paramount knows how to make great entertainment for everyone."
ROBUST CONTENT PIPELINE
Unrivalled Slate of Italian Content
As part of the streamer's plan to greenlight 150 international originals by 2025, Paramount+ is bringing Hollywood to Italy, as Italian audiences will find a Mountain of Entertainment including locally created content:
FRANCESCO IL CANTICO, hosted by Oscar®-winning Italian star Roberto Benigni; and a new season of VITA DA CARLO, the first production with Carlo Verdone for Paramount+, playing a double role of director and main lead on the series following his own life, showing the frugal private life of a man who never denies himself to his audience, between selfies on the streets and autographs at rest stops.
CIRCEO, the series produced by Cattleya in collaboration with VIS, Paramount's international studio division, Paramount+ and RAI Fiction which recounts the events surrounding the infamous case of 1975 that changed Italian society forever.
QUATTORDICI GIORNI, a Paramount+ original Italian production, written and directed by Ivan Cotroneo and landing on the platform later this month, follows the story of a couple forced into two weeks of seclusion.
CORPO LIBERO, a series by Indigo Film and Network Movie, in co-production with ZDFneo, in collaboration with Rai Fiction and Paramount+, in association with All3Media International Limited, will be available in late October. Based on the novel by Ilaria Bernardini and written with Chiara Barzini, Ludovica Rampoldi and Giordana Mari, it is a gripping teen-drama thriller set in the world of gymnastics.
TI MANGIO IL CUORE, based on Carlo Bonini and Giuliano Foschini's novel-investigation of the mafia in Foggia, Italy, this film stars Elodie in her first acting role as Marilena, the wife of one of the local bosses who is in love with the heir to the enemy family. Warmly acclaimed at the 79th Venice International Film Festival, the film will be available in cinemas September 2022, and to stream exclusively on Paramount+ by January 2023.
MISS FALLACI, to premiere in 2023, the Paramount+ Original series details the true story of one of the most controversial Italian and international journalism icons ever, Oriana Fallaci.
BOSÉ, the TV series will portray the incredible life of an artist with a unique and highly recognizable personality: Miguel Bosé. The six-episode series will transport viewers to different parts of the singer-songwriter's career that began in the late 1970s, revealing the stories behind the inspiration, composition and recording of some of his most iconic works, and how this success affected his personal life. The series will reveal unknown secrets, give us an inside look at his circle of friends and demonstrate the extraordinary relationship between Miguel and his parents.
The unscripted local slate includes a new season of MTV's EX ON THE BEACH, with Cecilia Rodriguez and Ignazio Moser as hosts, and the first-ever Italian version of ARE YOU THE ONE?, MTV's iconic dating show.
Adult Animation with an Italian Touch
The service will reintroduce Beavis and Butt-Head, one of the most iconic animated duos of the 1990s, in BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO THE UNIVERSE, a tale that technically spans two centuries and promises to sit atop all future lists of the dumbest science fiction movies ever made. The saga begins when Beavis and Butt-Head wind up at space camp through "creative sentencing" from a juvenile court judge in 1998. After ruining a mission, they are left for dead in space and end up going through a black hole and re-emerging back on Earth in 2022, only to discover a very different world.
The film will feature the voices of Italian stand-up comedians and comedy writers Edoardo Ferrario and Luca Ravenna.
SOUTH PARK THE STREAMING WARS follows Cartman, who locks horns with his mom in a battle of wills, as an epic conflict unfolds and threatens South Park's very existence, while in SOUTH PARK THE STREAMING WARS - PART 2 a drought has brought the town of South Park to the brink of disaster.
The films will feature Riccardo Zanotti and Elio Biffi, members of the musical group Pinguini Tattici Nucleari, voicing several characters: Riccardo will play a weather reporter in the first episode and actress Gwyneth Paltrow in the second, while Elio, who voices a guide in the first installment, will lend his voice to comedian Larry David in the second film.
Paramount+ originals
Paramount+ original titles include TULSA KING, starring Sylvester Stallone as a New York mafia capo just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma; THE OFFER, a limited series based on Oscar®-winning producer Albert S. Ruddy's extraordinary, never-before-seen experiences of making "The Godfather;" with Miles Teller, Matthew Goode and Juno Temple; 1883, Taylor Sheridan's highly anticipated "Yellowstone" prequel that follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America; 1923, also from Sheridan, features Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford in the next instalment of the "Yellowstone" origin story that introduces a new generation of the Dutton family and explores the early twentieth century; and HALO, a series based on the iconic Xbox franchise that dramatizes an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant.
Additionally, Paramount+ is the destination for "Star Trek" fans in Italy. The service features STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, which follows the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself; and STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, which is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In his new children's book, Seven Clues: A Catholic Treasure Hunt, best-selling author and renowned theologian Dr. Scott Hahn teams with noted children's author Maura Roan McKeegan to tell the story of three children who are on a quest to find answers to clues they discover inside a mysterious box at their door.
In Seven Clues, two children, Peter and Julia, find an intriguing invitation to "an eternal banquet" on "the day of the sun" in the place "where heaven touches Earth." The invitation urges them to follow the seven clues on a scroll to find out more. They enlist the help of their teen brother James to go step-by-step to solve the puzzle.
As they work through the clues with James, Julia and Peter begin to see a pattern emerging. The clues all point to signs and symbols of the Catholic Mass, culminating in the Eucharist. Each of the clues is taken from the book of Revelation, and the book concludes with the Scripture references and illustrates their significance to parts of the Mass.
This is a timely release, as the U.S. bishops have declared a National Eucharistic Revival that will span from 2022 to 2025. The objective of the Revival is to unite Catholics around the "source and summit" of the Faith, the Holy Eucharist. Seven Clues can be used as an addition to a child's preparation for the sacrament, and as a gift for children to celebrate their First Holy Communion.
Seven Clues was written for children ages six to twelve, but the book is perfect for families to read aloud together. "Reading aloud a wonderful story about the Faith will connect children and families with the feelings of joy and delight in the Mass," states McKeegan.
Dr. Scott Hahn holds the Fr. Michael Scanlan Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he has taught since 1990 and is the founder and president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. In 2005, he was appointed as the Pope Benedict XVI Chair of Biblical Theology and Liturgical Proclamation at St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Dr. Hahn is also the author of numerous books, including The Lamb's Supper, Reasons to Believe, and Signs of Life. He lives in Steubenville, Ohio.
Maura Roan McKeegan is a former classroom reading teacher with a special interest in children's literature. She is the author of a number of children's books, including The End of the Fiery Sword, Into the Sea, Out of the Tomb, and St. Conrad and the Wildfire.
Mercè Tous lives and works in Barcelona, Spain, the place of her birth. She graduated with a degree in fine arts from the University of Barcelona in 2008 and has illustrated several children's books.

More Than Fair improves access and inclusion in credit
Civil rights organizations, consumer advocates and industry leaders have joined the initiative.

September 13th, 2022Stopping health inequity
September 12th, 2022The educational initiative, supported by the public and private sectors, as well as by non-profit organizations, seeks to make economic loans and credits granted more fair, transparent and inclusive.
Following the recent announcement of its launch, More Than Fair presented a website that will be used as the hub of a digital forum available to communities that need it most.
A Necessary Change
Considering that traditional credit scores have a history of more than 30 years, and that those in charge of assigning loans rely on them, access to affordable credit for buying homes, cars, personal expenses, among others, is quite limited.
Faced with this scenario, described by many as unfair and exclusionary, millions of Americans who could potentially qualify for credit are left behind, especially small business owners, young adults, recent immigrants, and low- and moderate-income families, especially in black and Hispanic communities.
More Than Fair seeks to change this landscape by employing artificial intelligence and data science to drive better credit results and reduce interest payments for users by about $103 billion per year.
Strong Reasons
The firms behind More Than Fair take into account the following aspects to support the initiative:
- America needs faster progress toward a more inclusive and affordable credit system nationwide.
- Modern technology and data science, under proper public and private regulation and supervision, can make more progress toward this goal than we’ve seen in decades.
- Fairness standards and testing requirements should apply equally to all lenders and all methods, irrespective of underlying technology or process.
Gary Cunningham, President and CEO of Prosperity Now, stated: “Prosperity Now is proud to join MoreThanFair, a powerful channel for increased transparency in lending and stronger credit solutions for Black and Brown consumers, innovators, and entrepreneurs. As long-standing champions of financial inclusion and access, we are excited to join this dynamic nonprofit and private sector alliance. As a national organization committed to building an economy that truly works for everyone, we proudly support this new effort, which we believe will bring us a step closer to closing the racial and ethnic wealth divide.”
RELATED CONTENT
Committed Companies
The organizations behind the initiative include: the American Fintech Council, Credit Builders Alliance, National Bankers Association (NBA), National Community Reinvestment Coalition, National Consumer Law Center, Prosperity Now, UnidosUS, Camino Financial, Cross River, Esusu, LendingClub, Oportun, SolasAI, Stratyfy, Upstart, and Zest AI.
Reactions
Nicole Elam, CEO of the National Bankers Association, said: “Minority Depository Institutions have long been leaders in serving communities that traditional credit underwriting models have overlooked. The NBA is pleased to help launch the MoreThanFair community with fintechs, consumer advocates and civil rights firms to bring our unique perspective on credit access to the digital arena.”
“We are encouraged by the prospect for meaningful engagement with industry and with other advocacy organizations. As an organization that is committed to ensuring that financial institutions have community reinvestment obligations and comply with all consumer protection regulations, we hope that MoreThanFair becomes a vehicle for those goals,” pointed out Jesse Van Tol, President and CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
Nicholas Schmidt, CEO of SolasAI, noted: "Participating in the MoreThanFair community is a thrilling opportunity to collaborate with the most innovative and inclusive organizations in the consumer finance industry. We love to see such broad-based stakeholders, from the largest fintechs to the most influential public advocacy groups come together. At SolasAI we know from our many years of working with a large portion of financial institutions in America, that a tremendous opportunity exists to expand credit for under-served communities and others for whom traditional credit has not been an option. We are looking forward to providing the experience and knowledge of methods and policies that allow us all to work together in finding more inclusive practices and models.”
“As a female-founded technology startup, we understand what it is like to be in a category often discriminated against. Because of this, we made the conscious decision to use our knowledge and skills to help create a fairer, more inclusive — and more profitable — lending ecosystem. That’s why we build Stratyfy’s Unbias software, which — for the first time — allows lenders to get clarity into how their models are built to identify any discriminatory lending or biases in their practices. Additionally, they are provided with recommendations on optimizing their models to be more compliant, creating more lending opportunities more quickly, and helping to identify and increase revenue generation opportunities,” underlined Laura Kornhauser, CEO of Stratyfy.
About More Than Fair
It is a community of organizations dedicated to improving access to affordable and inclusive credit for American consumers and small businesses.
Using modern technology and data science, it can now make lending more inclusive, more transparent and fairer, something that will certainly help the public and private sectors to ensure that the models are properly supervised.

The younger sister of one of the four girls killed in the 1963 bombing at Sixteenth Street Baptist Church has written a book composed of letters to the sister she never met, offering a glimpse into how the tragedy affected the lives of the victims’ families.
The bomb exploded on Sept. 15, 1963, at 10:22 a.m., during the Sunday school hour. Four girls were killed: Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley.
The parents of Denise McNair had tried for years to have another child after the birth of Denise but did not succeed until after her death at age 11.
Lisa McNair was born on Sept. 19, 1964, one year and five days after the bombing. She never knew her older sister except through pictures and family stories.
For years, she has been writing letters addressed to Denise. They are compiled in “Dear Denise,” published this week by the University of Alabama Press.
“I think people will enjoy reading it and getting that inside look at how our family navigated this incredible loss, and being in front of the world trying to do it,” McNair said. “It’s actually my life story, but I tell it to her in letters because she wasn’t there to be a part of the experience.”
The yearning to talk to her sister through letters had been a long process.
“I wanted to write the book since I was 14,” she said. “By 14, I was graduating from Advent Episcopal Day School, which is a predominantly white private school. I was part of the first generation of African-Americans to actually be free to interact with white people in this country. I knew that that whole experience was different and not what had been normal before, and so I’ve always known I wanted to write it.”
It’s hard to assess what she missed by not having her older sister in her life, she said.
“I think she would have been a great support system and helped through a lot of the pitfalls I’ve gone through in my lifetime and supported me and been there for me,” McNair said.
The death of the four girls is widely considered a turning point in the civil rights movement that led to the breaking down of segregation laws.
“It’s a bittersweet thing, having lost her and not gotten to know her was really sad, but her death and the deaths of the other three girls were a catalyst for the civil rights act and for a lot of change,” McNair said.
“Out of all the evil things that happened during that period, killing children in a church was just completely heinous and egregious,” she said. “No one could think that was a good thing. I think it got people who were silent witnesses who were sitting on the sidelines not really saying anything but seeing the evil, and made them think, wow, let me speak up, let me change some things. We’ve let this evil go on just a little too long.”
Lisa McNair’s parents first tried to enroll her in a private, Christian, all-white school, Advent Episcopal Day School, in 1968. She was refused admission.
“They said I didn’t pass the test to make it into kindergarten,” McNair said. “Kingergarten! Four-year-old kindergarten. My mom was a schoolteacher. If your mom’s a schoolteacher, you’re being taught 24/7. Momma and Daddy never said that, but I imagine that was just racism. They weren’t ready to have Black kids at that time. That was in 1968.”
When her younger sister, Kimberly, who was born in 1968, turned four, the family tried again to enroll both girls at Advent Day School. This time, they were accepted, in 1972.
Lisa had to repeat second grade, then attended Advent Day School all the way through eighth grade. “They had the option of putting me in third grade, or letting me repeat second,” she said. “They felt like I hadn’t learned enough from the public school I was in. I agreed with them, even at that young age, I knew that there had been something missing from my education at Roosevelt that year.”
She had been attending Roosevelt Elementary School in her home neighborhood of Roosevelt City.
The first week at a previously all-white school frightened her.
“The school in my neighborhood, I could walk home,” she said. “I knew the route home. Going to Advent was downtown, so it was a good 25-minute drive from my house. I was terrified that first couple of days. I was thinking, what if something happens to me, or somebody tries to hurt me or kill me or attack me, like they did my sister, how do I get home? Where is a safe space? I remember being really nervous that first day.”
She adapted quickly and was well-received by fellow students and staff, she said.
“Advent was wonderful,” she said. “I have to give it to them. I often think back fondly of those years there and how wonderful they were.”
But her immersion in white culture later gave her second thoughts about what she was leaving behind.
“I talk a good deal about the transition of going from an all-black environment of living and going to school and working with all Black people, then all of a sudden one day, you’re thrust into a completely integrated, not even integrated, but white culture, which is something that is not familiar to most of us as African-Americans, the good and the bad about that, and also the silent loss of some of my Black culture by being so immersed in white culture,” she said. “I talk about desiring to get back to, for lack of a better word, my blackness, but integrate that in what I had picked up in white culture to make me who I am as a person.”
The FBI closed its investigation of the bombing in1968 without filing charges, but after his election as Alabama attorney general in 1971, Bill Baxley reopened the case. In 1977, Baxley successfully prosecuted Robert Chambliss for four counts of murder in connection with the bombing.
In 1996, her parents sat down for interviews with filmmaker Spike Lee, who directed the documentary, “4 Little Girls.” That experience helped her learn more about Denise.
“I think the time of my life when I learned most about her, things that I did not know, was during the time when Spike Lee was in town making the documentary,” she said. “There was a culture of silence among many in the Black community and my family members and the people in the church, where we really did not just talk about a lot of what happened about the bombing. It was a whole period of just silence. By Spike coming and just opening that window for us to have conversation, people were able to share in ways that they’d never been able to share before.”
In 2001, Chambliss’ co-conspirators in the bombing, Thomas Edwin Blanton Jr. and Bobby Frank Cherry, were successfully prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Doug Jones.
The family’s role and response to the trials is addressed by McNair in her “Dear Denise” letters.
“I talk a lot about the family, and what we’ve gone through since Denise was killed, what our family’s gone through, talk about the trials and intimate look in our perspective on all of that, the trials of the killers of the girls, what went on in our house that people didn’t get to see,” McNair said. “It’s a very intimate portrait of my life that people don’t know. Only the very close, and not even some of them. Some of them have read the book and said, ‘I’ve known you all my life and I didn’t know that. I never knew any of this.’”
But the family’s challenges were not over after the trials.
Chris McNair, father of Denise, Lisa and Kimberly, had been elected to the Jefferson County Commission in 1986 and oversaw the city’s sewer system. He resigned in 2001. In 2006, he was convicted of 11 counts of bribery and conspiracy involving contractors for the county’s sewer projects. In 2007, he was sentenced to five years in prison.
Lisa McNair dropped out of UAB short of a degree and in the 1990′s started working for her father’s business, serving as president of Chris McNair Studios and Art Gallery. As her father’s legal problems mounted, his business declined.
“It had already gone down by the time he was away,” she said. “The business failed. I got in a lot of debt.”
Chris McNair received compassionate release from prison in 2013 due to failing health. He died in 2019. The last few years of his life after prison, her father was a broken man, she said.
“It was very sad,” she said. “We were grateful to have him home, but I think that whole experience broke him, and he was never the same. So, it was very sad.”
Lisa’s mother, Maxine McNair, died earlier this year.
On Thursday at 10 a.m., Lisa and her sister, Kimberly McNair Brock, will attend the 59th annual memorial service remembering the victims of the bombing at Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.
On Friday, she’ll have her official book launch at 5 p.m. at the church, followed by a reception and book signing in the rotunda at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
Lisa McNair has been watching the outpouring of grief lately for Queen Elizabeth II of England, and she can relate, she said.
“I think about the queen having just passed and I’m really sad about that, sad about her children,” she said. “I feel them and can relate to them in a way, not on such a scale, but how they’re going through this in front of the world. They don’t have the option to just go cry in your bedroom. They don’t have that luxury, that option. I can totally relate to that.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A former star in a St. Louis-based “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” reality television show testified Tuesday that he was not involved in the killing of his nephew.
James “Tim” Norman, 43, is accused of hiring two people to kill 21-year-old Andre Montgomery in March 2016 and then trying to cash a $450,000 life insurance policy he took out on his nephew in the months before he was killed.
Norman, 43, told jurors that he helped his nephew move to St. Louis about 18 months before he was killed and supported him financially because he was trying to watch out for Montgomery, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
“This is my brother’s kid, so I tried my best to step in and be a father figure,” Norman told the jury. “I tried my best to show him right from wrong and tried to be a friend at the same time.”
Norman and Montgomery starred in “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s,” a reality show on the OWN network that was based at a popular soul-food business founded by Norman’s mother and Montgomery’s grandmother, Robbie Montgomery.
Norman is facing two federal murder-for-hire counts and one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud.
Prosecutors said Norman paid $10,000 to an exotic dancer, Terica Ellis, to lure his nephew to the site where he was shot and paid $5,000 to Travell Anthony Hill to shoot Montgomery.
Ellis and Hill have both pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme.
Norman testified Tuesday that he took out the life insurance policy on his nephew to give a longtime customer of the family restaurants, Waiel Rebhi Yaghnam, some business.
Yaghnam pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and wire fraud in the case.
Montgomery left St. Louis after at least $220,000 in cash, jewelry and other items were stolen in a June 2015 burglary at Robbie Montgomery’s home.
Norman told jurors he and his mother hired a private investigator to find his nephew, but he had no intention of hurting him.
He said he flew to St. Louis on March 14, 2016 — the day of Montgomery’s death — as part of regular stops to do jobs for Sweetie Pie’s.
He said he paid Ellis only $1,000 for sex and $2,000 to help her open a boutique in Memphis. He acknowledged he asked Ellis to help him find Montgomery but never paid her to do so.
Norman testified he connected Ellis and Hill to find Montgomery because he wanted to get back items stolen from Robbie Montgomery’s home. He said he never paid Hill to shoot his nephew and didn’t know he was the shooter for years after his nephew’s death.
Robbie Montgomery, the primary figure on “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s,” attended court Monday and Tuesday during her son’s defense but declined to comment on the case. The defense originally intended to call her as a character witness. But prosecutors successfully opposed her testimony as not relevant to the case.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — It’s less than ten minutes walk from the Falls Road to the Shankill Road in Northern Ireland’s capital, where Catholics and Protestants still live in segregated enclaves.
But to hear people in these adjoining neighborhoods explain their almost diametrically opposite views of the British monarchy, it might as well be 1,000 miles.
And so as King Charles III arrived in Northern Ireland for the first visit since his mother’s death elevated him to the throne, the voices of Belfast offered a sharp reminder of the country’s persistent, complicated and, at times, bloody political realities.
On the street residents call The Shankill — center of a Protestant neighborhood with a long history of loyalty to the crown — British flags fluttered over shops and from light poles. At the foot of a giant mural of a young Elizabeth II proclaiming her “the people’s monarch,” many proud to be her subjects came bearing flowers and notes of emotional farewell.
“We swore our allegiance to the queen and she stuck by us,” said Jacqueline Humphries, 58, once a soldier in the Ulster Defence Regiment, established by the British Army to police Northern Ireland during the decades of sectarian violence known as The Troubles. “I think Charles will do just as good a job. She trained him well.”
Not half a mile away on the Falls Road — the nationalist stronghold that served as base for the Irish Republican Army and its decades-long guerrilla campaign against British rule — those heading to work Tuesday brushed off any suggestion that Charles’ visit could validate the crown’s claim to Northern Ireland.
“They can believe that, but we still believe we will get a united Ireland,” said Paul Walker, 55, walking past a 3-story-high mural of Bobby Sands, an IRA militant who died while on a hunger strike in prison in 1981.
Charles is “not our king. Bobby Sands was our king here,” said 52-year-old Bobby Jones. “Queen never done nothing for us. Never did. None of the royals do.”
Walker and others said Queen Elizabeth II had earned a measure of respect, if never affection, for her decision in 2012 to shake hands with Martin McGuinness, the former IRA commander who went on to serve as Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister. But Charles is unwelcome.
“He won’t be up here much. We don’t have a place for Charles,” said a man named Christy, 61, who like others declined to provide his full name, pointing to Belfast’s fading, but brutally memorable, record of retribution on both sides.
The new king walked a delicate line Tuesday, thanking Northern Ireland officials for their condolences and praise of his mother for her efforts to foster reconciliation.
The queen, he said, “felt deeply, I know, the significance of the role she herself played in bringing together those whom history had separated, and in extending a hand to make possible the healing of long-held hurts.”
It’s not clear, though, if Charles will benefit from goodwill earned by his mother. She had decades to build a reputation as a steadfast leader even in the most difficult of times; not so, her son, who some see as aloof. And nowhere else in the lands that make up this less than United Kingdom is the divide over the crown so fierce.
Most of Ireland gained independence from Britain in 1921 after a guerrilla war. But Northern Ireland, where a Protestant majority favored Britain, remained a part of the United Kingdom.
The shaky peace exploded in August 1969 with sectarian violence after protests by the Catholic minority for civil rights. The British Army sent in forces, ostensibly to contain the violence and protect Catholics.
“Army in Control Here For At Least Four Months,” warned the front page of The Irish News, now displayed in a museum of IRA history just off the Falls Road.
Instead, The Troubles lasted nearly 30 years, resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 people.
A few minutes in either neighborhood is all it takes to unearth memories of the violence and the gaping divide over the role of the British government.
“Once you saw the Brits, once you saw the police, you went running the other way because you were guilty before you innocent,” said Damian Burns, a postal worker, walking to work past the offices of Sinn Fein, the political party long affiliated with the IRA that is now the largest in Northern Ireland’s power-sharing government.
The Sinn Fein bookstore onsite sells posters with a portrait of Sands over the slogan: “England Get Out of Ireland.”
Over on the Shankill, Humphries, now a housing assistance counselor, recalled that when The Troubles started she was living in an area mixed with both Protestants and Catholics. After joining the British-allied military she received death threats from the Irish National Liberation Army, forcing a move to the loyalist neighborhood where she has lived ever since. Others on both sides also moved to be near those like them, and the city became even more divided.
The royal family was not immune to the violence. In 1979, the IRA assassinated Lord Louis Mountbatten, a cousin of the queen and mentor to Charles , detonating a bomb planted aboard his fishing boat. Three others also died.
The Troubles finally ended with the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. But all these years later, the Falls Road and the Shankill remain divided from one another by a “Peace Line” — high walls with steel gates that are still closed each evening.
Charles, unwanted by some here and unproven to others, will have to thread his way carefully through the volatility. But it could offer valuable lessons – at least in what not to do – for the new monarch. In Scotland, where a referendum on independence from Britain was narrowly defeated in 2014, rhetoric remains heated and officials are pushing for a follow-up vote. In Wales, too, some people bridle at being kept under London’s control.
Residents of Belfast will be watching closely, regardless of their allegiances.
On the Falls Road of 25 or 30 years ago, the queen was vilified as a symbol of British oppression, said Walker, who is confident the two Irelands will eventually be united.
He won’t change his mind about that, he said, but even with a bitter past, he’s become more willing to see the queen, who was 96, as more than a foe.
She was, after all, someone’s grandmother.
“It’s always in the back of your mind who these people are,” he said, “and not just that they’re the head of military forces.”

A teenage human trafficking victim who was initially charged with first-degree murder after she stabbed her accused rapist to death was sentenced Tuesday in an Iowa court to five years of closely supervised probation and ordered to pay $150,000 restitution to the man’s family.
Pieper Lewis, 17, was sentenced Tuesday after she pleaded last year to involuntary manslaughter and willful injury in the June 2020 killing of 37-year-old Zachary Brooks of Des Moines. Both charges were punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Polk County District judge David M. Porter on Tuesday deferred those prison sentences, meaning that if Lewis violates any portion of her probation, she could be sent to prison to serve that 20-year term.
As for being required to pay the estate of her rapist, “this court is presented with no other option,” Porter said, noting the restitution is mandatory under Iowa law that has been upheld by the Iowa Supreme Court.
Lewis was 15 when she stabbed Brooks more than 30 times in a Des Moines apartment. Officials have said Lewis was a runaway who was seeking to escape an abusive life with her adopted mother and was sleeping in the hallways of a Des Moines apartment building when a 28-year-old man took her in before forcibly trafficking her to other men for sex.
Lewis said one of those men was Brooks and that he had raped her multiple times in the weeks before his death. She recounted being forced at knifepoint by the 28-year-old man to go with Brooks to his apartment for sex. She told officials that after Brooks had raped her yet again, she grabbed a knife from a bedside table and stabbed Brooks in a fit of rage.
Police and prosecutors have not disputed that Lewis was sexually assaulted and trafficked. But prosecutors have argued that Brooks was asleep at the time he was stabbed and not an immediate danger to Lewis.
Iowa is not among the dozens of states that have a so-called safe harbor law that gives trafficking victims at least some level of criminal immunity.
Lewis, who earned her GED while being held in juvenile detention, acknowledged in a statement prior to her sentencing that she struggled with the structure of her detention, including “why I was treated like fragile glass” or wasn’t allowed to communicate with her friends or family.
“My spirit has been burned, but still glows through the flames,” she read from a statement she had prepared. “Hear me roar, see me glow, and watch me grow.”
“I am a survivor,” she added.
The Associated Press does not typically name victims of sexual assault, but Lewis agreed to have her name used previously in stories about her case.
Prosecutors took issue with Lewis calling herself a victim in the case and said she failed to take responsibility for stabbing Brooks and “leaving his kids without a father.”
The judge peppered Lewis with repeated requests to explain what poor choices she made that led up to Brooks’ stabbing and expressed concern that she sometimes did not want to follow rules set for her in juvenile lockup.
“The next five years of your life will be full of rules you disagree with, I’m sure of it,” Porter said. He later added, “This is the second chance that you’ve asked for. You don’t get a third.”
Karl Schilling with the Iowa Organization for Victim Assistance said a bill to create a safe harbor law for trafficking victims passed the Iowa House earlier this year, but stalled in the Senate under concerns from law enforcement groups that it was too broad.
“There was a working group established to iron out the issues,” Shilling said. “Hopefully it will be taken up again next year.”
Iowa does have an affirmative defense law that gives some leeway to victims of crime if the victim committed the violation “under compulsion by another’s threat of serious injury, provided that the defendant reasonably believed that such injury was imminent.”
Prosecutors argued Tuesday that Lewis waived that affirmative defense when she pleaded guilty to manslaughter and willful injury.

USDA’s Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Arthur Tripp recently visited with students, faculty, and local elected officials at Georgia Southern University and the Georgia Grown Innovation Center to discuss the ways in which USDA supports small agribusiness owners.
ATHENS – USDA’s Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Arthur Tripp recently visited with students, faculty, and local elected officials at Georgia Southern University and the Georgia Grown Innovation Center to discuss the ways in which USDA supports small agribusiness owners.
“Having the opportunity to visit the innovation center was truly remarkable,” Tripp said. “We had great conversations with producers and current business owners about how USDA may be able to provide resources to accomplish their goals. It was an excellent opportunity to highlight programs that FSA provides to support agribusiness owners as well as resources available through Rural Development, such as the Value-Added Producer Grant.”
One resource that FSA offers small agribusinesses is the microloan. The Farm Service Agency developed the microloan program to better serve the unique financial operating needs of new, niche, and small to mid-sized family farm operations. FSA microloans offer more flexible access to credit and serve as an attractive loan alternative for smaller farming operations, like specialty crop producers and operators of community supported agriculture. These smaller farms, including non-traditional farm operations, often face limited financing options.
There are two types of microloans issued directly to the applicant from FSA: Farm Operating Loans and Farm Ownership Loans. Operating microloans can be used for all approved operating expenses, including but not limited to, initial start-up expenses; annual expenses such as seed, fertilizer, utilities, land rents; marketing and distribution expenses; family living expenses; purchase of livestock, equipment and other materials essential to farm operations; minor farm improvements such as wells and coolers; hoop houses to extend the growing season; essential tools; irrigation, and delivery vehicles.
Ownership microloans can be used for all approved ownership expenses, such as purchase of a farm or farmland, enlarging an existing farm, constructing new farm buildings, improving existing farm buildings, paying closing costs, and implementing soil and water conservation and protection practices.
The microloan application process is streamlined, requiring less paperwork to complete, consistent with a smaller loan amount. Requirements for managerial experience and loan security have been modified to accommodate veterans, smaller farm operations, and beginning farmers. Applicants may apply for microloans totaling a combined maximum of $100,000: up to $50,000 for a farm ownership loan and up to $50,000 for an operating loan.
FSA offers an extensive portfolio of direct and guaranteed loans in addition to microloans and offers loan servicing options for borrowers who cannot make their loan payments to FSA for reasons beyond their control. A Farm Loan Discovery Tool is available online to help determine the loan program that fits best with each unique agricultural enterprise.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A 12-year-old boy who police say wounded a fellow student last month at an Oakland school after accidentally firing a gun he brought to campus has been charged in the case, authorities said.
The Oakland Police Department said in a statement Tuesday the boy was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office. Prosecutors did not specify what they boy was charged with, saying they couldn't discuss the case because it involves a minor.
The 13-year-old boy wounded in the Aug. 29 shooting at Madison Park Academy was treated at a hospital and later released, the department said.
Police said the 12-year-old suspect ran away after firing the weapon but was quickly taken into custody and booked at Juvenile Hall on suspicion of assault with a firearm and other weapons charges.
The shooting took place in an open quad area at the school, which both boys attended, authorities said. The gun was recovered.
The school, which has about 750 students in grades six to 12, was evacuated but reopened the following day with counselors available to students and staff.

United to launch new nonstop flights between Newark/New York and Dubai starting in March of 2023;
United customers can soon connect through Dubai to more than 100 destinations and Emirates customers can more easily fly to nearly 200 U.S cities through Chicago, San Francisco and Houston
CHICAGO and DUBAI, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United and Emirates announced a historic commercial agreement today that will enhance each airline's network and give their customers easier access to hundreds of destinations within the United States and around the world*.
United will launch a new direct flight between Newark/New York and Dubai starting in March 2023 – from there, customers can travel on Emirates or its sister airline flydubai to more than 100 different cities. Tickets for United's new Dubai flight are now on sale.
Starting in November, Emirates customers flying into three of the nation's biggest business hubs – Chicago, San Francisco and Houston – will have access to nearly 200 U.S. cities in the United network – most of which only require a one-stop connection. At eight other U.S. airports served by Emirates – Boston, Dallas, LA, Miami, JFK, Orlando, Seattle and Washington DC – both airlines will have an interline arrangement in place.
United and Emirates announced their agreement today at a ceremonial event at Dulles International Airport, hosted by United CEO Scott Kirby and Emirates President Sir Tim Clark, featuring United and Emirates Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and flight crews from each carrier.
"This agreement unites two iconic, flag carrier airlines who share a common commitment to creating the best customer experience in the skies," said United CEO Scott Kirby. "United's new flight to Dubai and our complementary networks will make global travel easier for millions of our customers, helping boost local economies and strengthen cultural ties. This is a proud moment for both United and Emirates employees, and I look forward to our journey together."
"Two of the biggest, and best-known airlines in the world are joining hands to fly people better to more places, at a time when travel demand is rebounding with a vengeance. It's a significant partnership that will unlock tremendous consumer benefit and bring the United Arab Emirates and the United States even closer," said Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline. "We welcome United's return to Dubai next year, where our hub Dubai essentially becomes a gateway for United to reach Asia, Africa and the Middle East via the combined network of Emirates and flydubai. We look forward to developing our partnership with United for the long term."
Soon customers of both airlines can book these connecting flights on a single ticket – making check-in and luggage transfer faster and easier. For example – travelers will be able to visit United.com or use the United app to book a flight from Newark/New York to Karachi, Pakistan or go to Emirates.com to book a flight from Dubai to Atlanta or Honolulu.
This agreement will also give the loyalty program members of both airlines more opportunities for more rewards: United MileagePlus® members flying on United's Newark/New York to Dubai flight can soon earn and redeem miles when connecting beyond on Emirates and flydubai and Emirates Skywards members will be able to earn miles when they travel on United operated flights. Eligible United customers will also soon have access to Emirates lounges when connecting to and from United's new Dubai flight.
Both airlines have recently announced significant investments in the customer experience. Emirates will retrofit more than 120 aircraft as part of a $2 billion effort that includes elevated meal choices, a brand-new vegan menu, a 'cinema in the sky' experience, cabin interior upgrades, and sustainable choices. At United, the airline will add 500 new Boeing and Airbus aircraft to its fleet with a focus on a new signature interior that includes seat-back screens in every seat, larger overhead bins, Bluetooth connectivity throughout, and the industry's fastest available in-flight WiFi.
* Codeshare activities and United's new flight to Dubai are subject to government approvals.

Arsenal idol, Kevin Campbell, is clearly in love with Marquinhos after the Brazilian started his first senior game for the club.
He joined the Gunners in the summer as a relatively unknown player, but he debuted in style against FC Zurich and some of the club’s fans want to see him play again.
His emergence is a major positive because it now hands Arsenal an option on the wing.
The Gunners had been considering signing a new winger, but they could give him a chance to take that spot on their team now.
Campbell believes there isn’t much difference between him and Bukayo Saka.
He tells Football Insider:
“He was Arsenal’s best player and the best player on the pitch if you ask me.
“For someone so young, he is strong. He has speed and man strength which is good. I thought he was direct which I like.
“Marquinhos is a little bit different to Saka but he is still as devastating.
“He scored a great goal. He made up serious ground to get on the end of the cross. What a finish as well.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Marquinhos is an exciting talent, and he reminds us of a younger Gabriel Martinelli in so many ways.
These are early days in his Arsenal career, but he has given us a reason to be excited and we will trust him to get even better.

BALAKLIIA, Ukraine — Lyudmyla Vorona says her hometown of Balakliia, in northeastern Ukraine's Kharkiv region, was not prepared when the Russians took control in early March.
"We didn't have extra food and toiletries," the 60-year-old Vorona says. "And the children were scared from all the shelling. We were very cold and hungry."
So, when Ukrainian troops took back Balakliia late last week — the first of a string of towns they swiftly liberated as part of their recently launched counteroffensive in the east — residents were thrilled.
"We were very happy," Vorona's friend, Valentryn Dacenko, 60, recalls excitedly. "We cried, we kissed each other, we kissed our warriors, we hugged them. ... It's hard to describe with words."
Retaking the area happened surprisingly fast; so quickly that Russian forces retreated in such a hurry they left behind a lot of military equipment and vehicles, and didn't release people they had detained — and reportedly tortured — in the Balakliia jail.
They spoke to NPR on Tuesday while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Balakliia's heavily damaged town center. They're two of many of the residents who NPR spoke with while on the first press tour of the newly liberated area. Many still seemed genuinely shocked that their town had been liberated.
"The only thing we are afraid of now is that Russians could come back. It's really hard to believe that this is for good," Dacenko says.
Clean up begins
While the physical damage to Balakliia and surrounding areas isn't nearly as bad as the destruction left behind in the Kyiv suburbs of Bucha and Irpin, the town still has a lot of cleanup to do.
Utilities that have been out for months, such as water, electricity, the internet and cell service, need to be restored. Residents need food and other supplies, Russian soldiers stole food from people's houses, cleared store shelves and killed off farm animals. Several buildings also need to be rebuilt, homes repaired and abandoned and bombed-out vehicles removed.
There's also the task of assessing the extent of the death toll during the area's six months of occupation. Officials say they've found the bodies of five Ukrainian civilians in Balakliia, but they suspect there are more. At least two of those are of men who are thought to have been shot by Russian soldiers while driving through a checkpoint. Their bodies were buried in makeshift graves near the center of town and have now been exhumed for further investigation.
"We'll try to do whatever is possible to register all of the war crimes committed by Russian forces," Oleg Synegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, told reporters.
This could be a turning point
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that Ukraine has recaptured over 1,500 square miles of territory so far this month. Zelenskyy paid a visit to the region Wednesday.
The Institute for the Study of War, a think tank in Washington, D.C., says Ukraine has retaken more territory in its latest counteroffensive in less than a week than Russia has managed to capture in all of its operations since April.
The Kremlin has acknowledged it had to withdraw its troops in the Kharkiv region, and several members of the Russian State Duma have expressed concern about the situation on the front line, according to the institute. Meanwhile, officials in some Russian-controlled areas in eastern Ukraine have urged residents to evacuate.
Seth Jones, the senior vice president and director of the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says Ukraine's recent success has been a culmination of things — including getting the Russians to move many of their troops to the south.
"The Ukrainian forces had essentially feinted that the priority was going to be in the south, in areas like Kherson," he says. "The Russians moved some military forces from the north and the east down to the south, and it provided an opportunity for [Ukrainians to] push into areas of the north and the east."
Analysts say the counteroffensive has damaged Russian troops administratively and that morale is low. Russia would have to move more of its troops around to take back territory it's lost — something it really can't afford to do right now because it would leave them vulnerable on other fronts, Jones says.
Officials say some 15% of the Kharkiv region is still Russian-occupied, which means the fighting may not be totally over for places like Balakliia.
"I think it is likely to be a turning point, probably not the turning point," he says.

Milwaukee mayor's support for vote campaign draws backlash
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A new privately funded get-out-the-vote initiative in Wisconsin´s largest and most Democratic city has the support of Milwaukee´s mayor, but Republicans say it´s an attempt by Democrats to improperly bolster turnout in the narrowly divided battleground state.
The controversy over the Milwaukee Votes 2022 initiative echoes concerns raised by Republicans in 2020 when a Mark Zuckerberg-funded group distributed millions of dollars in grants to support local elections offices in Wisconsin and throughout the country as COVID-19 complicated the presidential election.
Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson helped fuel Republican skepticism when he suggested that the city may be assisting with the new get-out-the-vote initiative funded by private grants. The mayor's office later clarified that he was only voicing support for the efforts, which are being funded and carried out without government assistance, although Johnson did say the city would add a widget to its website promoting it.
That hasn't stopped Republicans from raising alarms. Several Republican state lawmakers submitted open records requests for communications between Milwaukee officials and groups involved with the initiative.
"There is no question that third-party partisan money continues to be used in collusion with election officials in heavily Democrat areas to help Democrat candidates win elections," said state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, chair of the Assembly's Elections Committee. She has been one of the leading supporters of decertifying President Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump in 2020, a move that Republican leaders have said would be unconstitutional and won't happen.
Johnson's office stressed that Milwaukee Votes 2022 is entirely made up of nonpartisan efforts to register voters and encourage voting.
"There is no indication that it supports partisan efforts, and I have no indication that anything that´s underway is illegal in any way," said Jeff Fleming, a spokesman for mayor.
Fleming said it was a "mistaken impression" for anyone to think the mayor implied the city was financing or receiving money as part of Milwaukee Votes 2022.
"The city´s posture is any nonpartisan effort to encourage people to vote is welcome in Milwaukee," he said.
Private grant money for elections administration has been the focus of many conspiracy theories since 2020, when the Chicago-based Center for Tech and Civic Life, with funding from Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder and CEO, distributed grants to Democratic and Republican areas across the state and country.
"Milwaukee Votes 2022 is essentially Zuckerbucks 2.0. This must stop now," Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Speaker Pro Tempore Tyler August, Assistant Majority Leader Kevin Petersen and Wisconsin Election Commission chair Don Millis said in a joint statement Tuesday. The group also accused Democrats of allowing "suspicious activity" and partisan meddling in elections.
Milwaukee received more than $1.1 million from CTCL in 2020, which it used to pay poll workers and purchase long-term investments such as high-speed voting tabulators. Wisconsin elections offices received a total of more than $3.3 million, mostly in small grants of $5,000 to local clerks.
The grants have withstood several legal challenges in state and federal courts. The state's Republican-controlled Legislature last year approved a proposal for a constitutional ban on election grants. Their choice to pursue a constitutional amendment means Democratic Gov. Tony Evers can't veto the proposal, which would also have to be passed during next year's legislative session and a in statewide vote before it could become law.
In conversations with The Associated Press, most clerks from Wisconsin cities that received large private grants in 2020 said they weren't worried about funding elections without that assistance in 2022.
"We certainly have hopefully a more normal election to run in November, and we definitely have had a lot more time to prepare for it than 2020," Claire Woodall-Vogg, executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, said in June.

Following increasing theft of homes and real estate, breakthrough blockchain protection for towns and homeowners is finally available
SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Town clerks and leaders across the country are working hard to ensure their citizens and homeowners are protected against a wave of homeowner title theft.
Protecting homes from title theft: new blockchain solution available to towns and homeowners
"It is easy to get a copy of any homeowner deed. It took less than 5 minutes to get my deed, and I was never even asked for ID" said Michael Danforth, a homeowner in Norwalk, CT.
Thieves across the country are taking this easily accessed information and using it to remortgage and steal properties, along with millions of dollars, from homeowners in small towns to big cities. It is happening with primary and vacation homes, raw land and more.
Town officials and homeowners alike are frustrated. Existing solutions can alert to a problem, but they cannot stop the thefts or prevent an altered deed from being re-recorded.
TruDoss (www.trudoss.com) is on a mission to help towns and homeowners protect their real estate through patented use of blockchain technology with distributed ledgers which keeps altered deeds from ever being recorded.
Paul Hartzell, co-founder of TruDoss, noted "recent stories in Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida tell us about people who were shocked to discover they no longer owned real estate they thought was theirs. This is wrong, and we have a solution that is available to towns right now."
Hartzell went on to say "TruDoss can stop theft before it happens by using our patented blockchain technology which uses a cryptographic hash, to identify the digital content immutably, making it impossible to submit an altered document without immediate detection before recording. This is how TruDoss will stop the thieves cold."
The TruDoss architecture allows integration with all types of document and data management platforms and provides this protection at reasonable cost. The service can be purchased by an annual license with no upfront costs and include 100% text search, global security certifications and a complete administrative console allowing highly secure citizen access, while not breaking the annual town budget.

Summit and Executive Order validate biotechnology innovations as part of the climate solution
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Genomatica (Geno) CEO Christophe Schilling applauded recent government investment to promote the growth of domestic biomanufacturing amid the newest White House Executive Order on emerging biotechnologies. Speaking at the White House Summit on Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing for the American Bioeconomy, Schilling reiterated that the Order will be an important driver of more resilient domestic supply chains through domestic infrastructure, delivering sustainable materials at scale, and a key component of the Biden Administration's climate resilience plan.
The Order launches the National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative that calls for federal agency coordination in funding biomanufacturing projects that will accelerate the transition to more sustainable materials, at scale. The Order also increases mandatory bio-based purchasing by Federal agencies through programs like BioPreferred which Geno's Brontide™ brand participates in. Further, the Order validates biotechnology innovations that reduce America's use of fossil fuel sourced products through highlighting plant-based alternatives as a significant part of the climate solution. This Order will be incorporated into the Biden Administration's climate policies where the biobased economy will play a critical role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. For Geno, the Order signals a critical moment that brings together our company and cross sector groups to accelerate the sustainable materials transition.
"It's not often that one action fuels the economy, combats climate change and strengthens supply chains at the same time," said Geno CEO Christophe Schilling. "By powering the bioeconomy to create jobs across America, bolster rural economies, onshore manufacturing and help industry transition away from fossil fuels, this week's executive order does just that through a whole-of-government approach. At a time when business and environmental interests are often on a collision course, biotechnology and biomanufacturing prove that there is a different path forward. Today's Summit and Executive Order jumpstarts this process, and Geno looks forward to continued engagement with the White House to put our unique solutions to work."
Schilling is Chair Emeritus of Biocom, the largest advocacy organization for California's life sciences sector and serves on BIO's Industrial & Environmental Section Governing Board. He is also a member of YPO, an international leadership organization for chief executives, and previously served on the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Biotechnology.
Geno already stands at the forefront of powering technologies that enable large scale biomanufacturing of sustainable materials. Geno is on path to deliver over 4 million liters of capacity and an annual production of 100,000 metric tons of plant-based products. Geno continues to be laser-focused on increasing its impact through scale and has recently closed multiple high-impact deals to accelerate the commercialization of sustainable materials. With the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100 million tons in upcoming years, recent milestones include scaling plant-based nylon, a collaboration with lululemon to bring plant-based materials into lululemon's products and a venture with Unilever to provide additional, responsibly sourced palm oil alternatives to market with a 50% lower carbon footprint.
About Geno
Geno is harnessing biology to remake everyday products and materials built by and for the planet. In response to the urgent climate crisis, Geno is developing and scaling sustainable materials derived from plant- or waste-based feedstocks instead of fossil fuels. Geno's technology, built over the last 20 years, now drives materials and ingredients in applications ranging from cosmetics, carpets, to home cleaners, apparel and more.

California sues Amazon, alleging antitrust law violations
NEW YORK (AP) — California is suing Amazon, accusing the company of violating the state’s antitrust and unfair competition laws by stifling competition and engaging in practices that push sellers to maintain higher prices on products on other sites.
The 84-page lawsuit filed Wednesday in San Francisco Superior Court mirrors another complaint filed last year by the District of Columbia, which was dismissed by a district judge earlier this year and is now going through an appeals process.
But officials in California believe they won’t encounter a similar fate, partly due to information collected during a more than two-year investigation that involved subpoenas and interviews with sellers, Amazon’s competitors as well as current and former employees at the company.
In the lawsuit, California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office said Amazon used contract provisions to effectively bar third-party sellers and wholesale suppliers from offering lower prices for products on non-Amazon sites, including on their own websites. That, in turn, harms the ability of other retailers to compete.
The suit maintains merchants that do not comply with the policy could have their products stripped from prominent listings on Amazon and face other sanctions such as suspensions or terminations of their accounts. It alleges Amazon’s policy essentially forces merchants to list higher prices on other sites, helping the retail giant maintain its e-commerce dominance.
Among other things, the California lawsuit seeks to stop Amazon from entering into contracts with sellers that harm price competition. It also seeks a court order to compel Amazon to pay damages to the state for increased prices. State officials did not say how much money they are seeking.
Seattle-based Amazon controls roughly 38% of online sales in the U.S., more than that of Walmart, eBay, Apple, Best Buy and Target combined, according to the research firm Insider Intelligence. About 2 million sellers list their products on Amazon’s third-party marketplace, accounting for 58% of the company’s retail sales.
During a news conference on Wednesday, Bonta said some vendors have expressed they would offer lower prices on other sites with lower seller fees, but don’t do so to avoid punishment from Amazon.
“Amazon has stifled its competition for years, not by successfully competing, but by blocking competition on price,” Bonta said. “As a result, California families paid more, and now Amazon must pay the price.”
He said the lawsuit is also a message to other companies who “illegally bend the market at the expense of California consumers, small business owners and the economy.”
Amazon did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The company has said in the past that sellers set their own prices on the platform. It has also said it has the right to avoid highlighting products that are not priced competitively.
Despite that defense, Amazon’s market power has been a subject of scrutiny from lawmakers and advocacy groups calling for stricter antitrust regulations. Earlier this year, congressional lawmakers urged the Justice Department to investigate if the company collects data on sellers to develop competing products and offer them more prominently on its site. Critics have also lambasted the increasing fees imposed on sellers, which makes it more difficult for merchants to enter the market.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been pushing bipartisan legislation aiming to limit Amazon and other Big Tech companies, including Apple, Meta and Google, from favoring their own products and services over rivals. The bill has cleared key committees but has languished in Congress for months amid intense pushback from the companies.
Meanwhile, regulators have also been looking into Amazon’s business practices and deals. In July, the company offered concessions to settle two antitrust investigations in the European Union, including a promise to apply equal treatment to all sellers when ranking product offers on the site’s “buy box,” a coveted spot that makes items more visible to shoppers.
In the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission is investigating Amazon’s $3.9 billion acquisition of the primary health organization One Medical as well as the sign-up and cancellation practices of Amazon Prime, the company’s paid subscription service that offers deals and faster shipping.

US government OKs nearly $190M in bids from offshore oil lease sale
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The U.S. government has accepted nearly $190 million in bids from an offshore oil and gas lease sale that was held nearly a year ago but rejected by a federal judge, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said Wednesday.
The action met a 30-day deadline set in the climate bill signed Aug. 16. That law also requires the bureau to reschedule three sales that had been put on hold by a moratorium ordered by President Joe Biden, with the first of them to be held by Dec. 31.
“We are pleased that the Department of the Interior has finally offered the first offshore leases of this administration, but it is disappointing that it took 19 months and an act of Congress to get us to this point,” said Cole Ramsey, vice president of upstream policy for the American Petroleum Institute.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said Wednesday that it had accepted 307 valid high bids totaling just under $189.9 million from the November 2021 sale “in compliance with congressional direction.” Companies bid on about 2% of the tracts offered for sale in the Gulf of Mexico.
“Leases resulting from this sale include stipulations to protect biologically sensitive resources, mitigate potential adverse effects on protected species, and avoid potential ocean user conflicts,” the agency said in a news release.
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democrat who got the lease sale provisions into the law, said, “Our federal oil and gas leasing programs are critical to American energy security, and these offshore leases will provide the market signals necessary to help ease the pain Americans are feeling from record inflation and high energy prices.”
Miyoko Sakashita, director of the oceans program at the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental nonprofit, called the congressional order a huge disappointment.
“Congress just gave the greenlight to a lease sale that was found unlawful. That’s a serious blow to our climate and Gulf ecosystems, which have already suffered so much from oil industry pollution,” she said.
The judge’s order in February said the Biden administration had failed to adequately consider the sale’s effect on planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington said Interior could decide whether to scrap the sale, undertake a fresh review or take other steps.
The National Ocean Industries Association, which represents offshore energy companies, said, “Communities along the Gulf Coast and throughout the country rely upon Gulf of Mexico oil and gas development for good-paying jobs, affordable energy supplies, and important funding for local infrastructure needs, coastal restoration and resiliency, and parks and recreation programs.”
The previous lease sale, in November 2020, had brought $120.9 million in high bids on 93 tracts. Seven of those bids, totaling $9.3 million, were rejected as too low.
In a separate action, the Center for Biological Diversity asked the Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday to forbid companies to discharge fracking waste into the ocean.
It said trade secret protections in current rules for permits governing oil industry discharges into the Gulf of Mexico mean EPA “often does not know what chemicals are used.”
As of 2016, it said, EPA had identified nearly 1,100 chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing and more than 500 found in water that comes up with oil and gas. The agency “has little to no information regarding the impacts of many of these chemicals on human and marine environments,” it said.
A proposed new permit for the western Gulf of Mexico “would allow more of the same,” the organization said in public comments about a two-year industry study to assess discharges.
The climate bill’s requirement for offshore lease sales is likely to increase offshore drilling and fracking, the group said.
“With offshore drilling set to surge, the Biden administration needs to stop oil and gas companies from poisoning the Gulf of Mexico with fracking waste,” Kristin Carden, a senior scientist at the Center, said in a news release.
National Ocean Industries Association President Erik Milito responded, “This is a complete misunderstanding of offshore production processes and does not reflect the actual science and engineering behind how U.S. offshore oil and gas is actually produced. Performance-based limits provide strict controls on the fluids that are discharged and ensure a sound, risk-based approach to protecting the environment.”

The virtual fireside chats will be hosted by Group 11's Founding Partner Dovi Frances, a decade-long fintech investor and thought-leader. Frances will guide conversations on unique pain points faced by the modern CFO, and how finance executives are solving some of these complex challenges.
Guests will include:
- Thomas Tuchscherer, CFO of TripActions ($9BN valuation)
- Eynat Guez, CEO/Co-Founder of Papaya Global ($3.7BN valuation)
- Sarah Spoja, CFO of Tipalti ($8.3BN valuation)
- Veetahl Eilat-Raichel, CEO/Co-Founder of Sorbet
- Guy Benjamin, Co-CEO/Co-Founder of Healthee
- Jonathan Einav, CEO/Co-Founder of Fintastic
Today's CFO is responsible for far more than just "finance," and is increasingly taking on strategic initiatives across the entire organization. As the role of the modern CFO expands, so too does the need for investments in technology to enable effective oversight. Automation and digitization are vital processes that drive success for modern executives, often leaving the late-adopters behind.
"At Group 11, we have been investing in the future of fintech long before its contemporary buzzword status. We have seen firsthand how CFOs and financial leaders have struggled to adapt during the pandemic and manage the resulting chaos," says Dovi Frances, Founding Partner of Group 11. "Our portfolio companies offer solutions for businesses to remain relevant and resilient, whilst maximizing efficiency. We are proud to host six of our category-defining portfolio companies in separate conversations on how CFOs and financial leaders can automate crucial components of their role and prepare for future crises."
Digitizing the Office of the CFO webinar series will cover crucial areas for finance leaders:
- Travel and expense management priorities
- Driving real time strategic decisions with payroll data
- Succeeding in talent retention and solving the financial talent crisis
- Achieving cash flow resiliency
- Optimizing the balance sheet
- Insights in healthcare budgeting
- The future of financial planning and analysis
Finance executives, operators, and decision makers from across the globe will join Group 11 and their portfolio companies, to explore modern solutions to alleviate mundane tasks and supercharge their employees, themselves, and their work flow.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti announced steep increases in fuel prices on Wednesday despite fears the move would crush an already frail economy, push even more people to flee the country and unleash the sort of protests that have often paralyzed the capital.
The government-set price of a gallon of gasoline is to increase from 250 gourdes ($2) to 570 gourdes ($4.78), while diesel will go from 353 gourdes ($3) to 670 gourdes ($5.60) and kerosene from 352 gourdes ($3) to 665 gourdes ($5.57).
The government said prices are rising because it can no longer afford to heavily subsidize fuel like it once did. Previously, Haiti received all its petroleum under Venezuela’s Petrocaribe program, which ended several years ago. Since then, the government authorized local distributors to import fuel and has subsidized their purchases.
Protesters against the price hike blocked roads throughout Port-au-Prince on Wednesday with rocks, burning tires, metal gates and even a bed frame, leaving the normally bustling capital void of traffic. Schools and businesses including banks also shut down as columns of black smoke rose across the city.
Marc André, a 28-year-old moto-taxi driver, said he night sell his bike and cross the border into the neighboring Dominican Republic to look for a construction job.
“The price I’m going to charge, most people won’t be able to afford it,” he said. “It’s best for me to leave the country.”
The government did not say when the new fuel prices would go into effect, but tweeted that “prices in Haiti are significantly lower than those on the international market.”
Prime Minister Ariel Henry had warned in a national address early Monday that fuel prices would increase, although his administration did not release details until Wednesday.
A couple thousand Haitians protested the looming increases on Tuesday while also demanding a crackdown on soaring violence and a reduction in the price of basic supplies amid a 30% inflation rate.

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lab-Aids, the Long Island-based publisher and manufacturer of hands-on, evidence-based science programs, plans to transform science education. Long a leader in research-based science curricula for schools, Lab-Aids is now scaling its operation to meet increased demands.
"We spent the summer applying our Guiding Principles to map out strategic realignment fitting with our core values," said Jonathan Atkins, President of Lab-Aids. "We have known for 60 years that teachers, parents, and students are eager for science that is research-based, relevant, and hands-on."
To increase access to its innovative programs and materials, Lab-Aids restructured its executive team. Key to this plan is their new EVP of Business Development, Angela Amundsen. "This is an exciting time for Lab-Aids," says Amundsen. "We want to bring our great materials and programs to more teachers and students."
"Angela is uniquely qualified to lead the organization's growth while improving access to high quality science programs for new and existing markets," says Atkins. Amundsen began her career as a classroom teacher and building administrator before transitioning into educational sales. She has over 20 years of experience in bringing solutions to educators and students across the United States, having worked in education publishing at McGraw-Hill Education and Oxford University Press.
Lab-Aids worked with its development partners over the past seven years to redesign its entire program lineup to meet the evolving needs in science education. EdReports has cited Lab-Aids' middle school science program as high-quality instructional material and now the high school programs are following a similar design. All curricula integrates
- Three-dimensional learning
- Formative assessment
- Hands-on learning
- Phenomena and problems
And with the company's long-awaited entrance into elementary STEM, Lab-Aids is receiving unprecedented interest in all of its programs. "We've got the vision, commitment, partners, and programs," says Amundsen. "Now we need to expand our talent to get the job done. We're on the hunt for the right people to join this journey of change." Lab-Aids is hiring in strategic areas including marketing, sales, and operations.
For almost 60 years, Lab-Aids has been developing, manufacturing, and publishing core curriculum and supplementary programs that help students better understand science concepts through direct experience. Lab-Aids exclusively publishes for research-based curricula developers including Oceans of Data Institute, SEPUP, and Tinkering Labs. Students using Lab-Aids curricula spend over two-thirds of their instructional days doing screen-free labs and investigations.

VIDEO: Divers find prehistoric human skeleton in ancient cave
MEXICO CITY (AP) - A prehistoric human skeleton has been found in a cave system that was flooded at the end of the last ice age 8,000 years ago, according to a cave-diving archaeologist on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.
Archaeologist Octavio del Rio said he and fellow diver Peter Broger saw the shattered skull and skeleton partly covered by sediment in a cave near where the Mexican government plans to build a high-speed tourist train through the jungle.
Given the distance from the cave entrance, the skeleton couldn’t have gotten there without modern diving equipment, so it must be over 8,000 years old, Del Rio said, referring to the era when rising sea levels flooded the caves.
“There it is. We don’t know if the body was deposited there or if that was where this person died,” said Del Rio. He said that the skeleton was located about 8 meters (26 feet) underwater, about a half-kilometer (one-third of a mile) into the cave system.
Some of the oldest human remains in North America have been discovered in the sinkhole caves known as “cenotes” on the country’s Caribbean coast, and experts say some of those caves are threatened by the Mexican government’s Maya Train tourism project.
Del Rio, who has worked with the National Institute of Anthropology and History on projects in the past, said he had notified the institute of the discovery. The institute did not immediately respond to questions about whether it intended to explore the site.
But Del Rio said Tuesday that institute archaeologist Carmen Rojas told him that the site was registered and would be investigated by the institute’s Quintana Roo state branch Holocene Archaeology Project.
He stressed that the cave — whose location he did not reveal because of a fear the site could be looted or disturbed — was near where the government has cut down a swath of jungle to lay train tracks and could be collapsed, contaminated or closed off by the building project and subsequent development.
“There is a lot more study that has to be done in order to correctly interpret” the find, Del Rio said, noting that “dating, some kind of photographic studies and some collection” would be needed to determine exactly how old the skeleton is.
Del Rio has been exploring the region for three decades, and in 2002, he participated in the discovery and cataloging of remains known as The Woman of Naharon, who died around the same time, or perhaps earlier, than Naia — the nearly complete skeleton of a young woman who died around 13,000 years ago. It was discovered in a nearby cave system in 2007.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is racing to finish his Maya Train project in the remaining two years of his term over the objections of environmentalists, cave divers and archaeologists. They say his haste will allow little time to study the ancient remains.
Activists say the heavy, high-speed rail project will fragment the coastal jungle and will run often above the fragile limestone caves, which — because they’re flooded, twisty and often incredibly narrow — can take decades to explore.
Caves along part of the coast already have been damaged by construction above them, with cement pilings used to support the weight above.
The 950-mile (1,500-kilometer) Maya Train line is meant to run in a rough loop around the Yucatan Peninsula, connecting beach resorts and archaeological sites.
The most controversial stretch cuts a more than 68-mile (110-kilometer) swath through the jungle between the resorts of Cancun and Tulum.
Del Rio said the route through the jungle should be abandoned and the train should be built over the already-impacted coastal highway between Cancun and Tulum, as was originally planned.
López Obrador abandoned the highway route after hotel owners voiced objections, and cost and traffic interruptions became a concern.
“What we want is for them to change to route at this spot, because of the archaeological finds that have been made there, and their importance,” said Del Rio. “They should take the train away from there and put it where they said they were going to build before, on the highway ... an area that has already been affected, devastated.”

Central Springs and Rockford's volleyball programs always get acquainted with each other around the middle of September. More than once, actually.
The Warriors come to the Panthers weekend tournament and they tangle for a best-of-three then less than five days later, meet and do battle in a best-of-five Top of Iowa East match.
Since 2015, the first year of the Top of Iowa Conference, that has been the case. And each year, Central Springs pulls out a victory both times.
Three days after meeting on Saturday, the Panthers swept the Warriors again 25-12, 25-10, 25-14 on Tuesday night.
Winners of four in a row, Central Springs (8-5, 3-2 TIC-East) forged a tie with Rockford for third place in the league. The Panthers recorded a hitting efficiency of .318 and had just 10 errors on 88 attack attempts.

Kaci Crum led the bunch with 14 kills while Quinn Smith chipped in nine. Paige Prazak had 17 digs and Zari McDonough dished out 36 assists and had four aces.
Rockford (10-5, 3-2) had just nine kills on the night. Hannah Hillman had the most with four and McKinnley Hoffman had three to go along with eight assists. Jaylah Schriever recorded 10 digs for the Warriors.
Volleyball
Fort Dodge 3, Mason City 1: The Riverhawks were one point away from taking an Iowa Alliance Conference match against the Dodgers to a fifth set, but the latter scored the final five points to earn a 25-16, 25-20, 19-25, 26-24 triumph on Tuesday.
It marks Mason City's (6-4, 2-1 IAC) first conference setback. It gave up a rally in the second set to go down 2-0, but it pieced together a convincing third third set victory.

The third set was the closest of the night as HD-CAL (2-10, 0-3 NCC) attempted to extend the match into a fourth set, but Algona finished off the clean sweep.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A former Texas sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for killing his ex-wife, teenage stepdaughter and the stepdaughter’s boyfriend.
Former Travis County sheriff’s deputy Stephen Broderick, 42, was automatically sentenced after pleading guilty to capital murder Tuesday in Austin in the 2021 deaths of ex-wife Amanda Broderick, 35; stepdaughter Alyssa Broderick, 17; and Willie Simmons III, 18. Broderick rammed his vehicle into his ex-wife's house and shot dead all three people inside.
Prosecutors set aside a possible death penalty in exchange for the guilty plea.
The ex-deputy killed the three during a custody visit with his son, whom he didn’t shoot. Stephen Broderick was free on bond at the time of the shooting after being charged the year before with the sexual assault of a child and losing his job as a result.
Stephen Broderick was ordered to wear a GPS tracking device, but state District Judge Karen Sage ordered the removal of the device five months after his release, the Austin American-Statesman reported. Prosecutors dropped the sexual assault charge as part of Broderick's plea deal. Amanda and Alyssa Broderick's family said the dismissal denied justice to Alyssa, who was the victim of the sexual assault.
But prosecutors said they doubted they could obtain a conviction on the charge because the victim was dead.
Sage, who passed the sentence on Broderick, expressed sympathy with their anger.
“I wish I could bring you justice,” Sage said. “But the truth is, the loss you’re suffering, there’s nothing I can do to make that loss go away. It’s the best we can do in the system we have, and it’s never enough. My heart goes out to you. Three beautiful, wonderful people — I see their lives shine on through all of you. I hope that at some point you can find some peace.”

FISHERS, Ind. (AP) — The Indianapolis suburb of Fishers is luring the Indy Fuel minor league hockey team to the city with a planned 8,500-seat arena, officials announced Wednesday.
The new arena would be a key part of a $550 million project planned by Indianapolis-based Thompson Thrift Development for hotel, apartments, retail and office space along Interstate 69, a few miles north of Interstate 465.
The Indy Fuel, an affiliate of the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks, has been playing its home games at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis since it began play in 2014. Plans call for the team to move to the new arena for the 2024-25 season.
“The new facility will allow us to host more fans, create unique experiences for families and groups, and offer additional dining and entertainment options for an enhanced gameday experience,” Indy Fuel owner Jim Hallett said.
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said the building would be used to host other events such as concerts, theatrical performance, high school sports and graduation ceremonies.
“We felt like a center of this size is just right to host world class entertainment events as well as our local needs,” Fadness said.
A timeline for the start of construction wasn’t announced.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore prosecutors asked a judge on Wednesday to vacate Adnan Syed's conviction for the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee — a case that was chronicled in the hit podcast “Serial."
Baltimore’s state’s attorney filed a motion in circuit court, saying a lengthy investigation conducted with the defense had uncovered new evidence that could undermine the conviction of Syed, Lee's ex-boyfriend.
“The motion filed today supports a new trial for Syed based on a nearly year-long investigation that revealed undisclosed and newly-developed information regarding two alternative suspects, as well as unreliable cell phone tower data,” State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office said in a news release.
Syed, 42, has maintained his innocence for decades and captured the attention of millions in 2014 when the debut season of the “Serial” podcast focused on the case and raised doubts about some of the evidence, including cellphone tower data.
Prosecutors on Wednesday said they weren’t asserting that Syed is innocent, but they lacked confidence “in the integrity of the conviction" and recommended he be released on his own recognizance or bail.
“We believe that keeping Mr. Syed detained as we continue to investigate the case with everything that we know now, when we do not have confidence in results of the first trial, would be unjust,” Mosby added.
The state's attorney's office said if the court grants its motion it would effectively put Syed in a new trial status, and his convictions would be vacated, but the case would remain active.
“Whether the State ultimately continues with a trial in this matter or dismisses the charges will depend on the outcome of the ongoing investigation,” the state's attorney's office said.
Prosecutors said a reinvestigation of the case revealed evidence regarding the possible involvement of two alternative suspects other than Syed. The two suspects may be involved individually or may be involved together, the state's attorney's office said. One suspect had threatened Lee, saying "he would make her
Now, prosecutors say, the approximately year-long probe revealed two alternative suspects who were known to the authorities 23 years ago but not disclosed to Syed’s defense. Neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys will reveal the suspects’ identities because the investigation is ongoing, according to the motion.
One of the suspects had threatened Lee, saying “he would make her (Ms. Lee) disappear. He would kill her,” according to the filing.
“Given the stunning lack of reliable evidence implicating Mr. Syed, coupled with increasing evidence pointing to other suspects, this unjust conviction cannot stand,” said Assistant Public Defender Erica Suter, Mr. Syed’s attorney and, Director of the Innocence Project Clinic. “Mr. Syed is grateful that this information has finally seen the light of day and looks forward to his day in court.”
The suspects were known persons at the time of the original investigation and were not properly ruled out nor disclosed to the defense, prosecutors said.
The investigation also found a separate document from the original trial file, in which a different person relayed information that can be viewed as a motive for that same suspect to harm the victim, prosecutors said. The information about the threat and motives to harm could have provided a basis for the defense and was not disclosed to the trial nor the post-conviction defense counsel, the state's attorney's office said.
Prosecutors also said new information revealed that one of the suspects was convicted of attacking a woman in her vehicle, and that one of the suspects was convicted of engaging in serial rape and sexual assault.
The state's attorney's office declined to release information about the suspects, due to the ongoing investigation.
Prosecutors also noted unreliable cellphone data used during Syed's court case to corroborate his whereabouts on the day of the crime. The notice on the records specifically advised that the billing locations for incoming calls “would not be considered reliable information for location.”
“Evidence proved that the State should not have relied on the incoming call evidence,” the state's attorney's office said.
Syed has served more than 20 years in prison for the strangling of Lee, who was 18 at the time. Her body was found weeks later buried in a Baltimore park.
More than a decade later, the popular “Serial” podcast revealed little-known evidence and attracted millions of listeners, shattering podcast-streaming and downloading records.
In 2016, a lower court ordered a retrial for Syed on grounds that his attorney, Cristina Gutierrez, who died in 2004, didn’t contact an alibi witness and provided ineffective counsel.
But after a series of appeals, Maryland’s highest court in 2019 denied a new trial in a 4-3 opinion. The Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court that Syed’s legal counsel was deficient in failing to investigate an alibi witness, but it disagreed that the deficiency prejudiced the case. The court said Syed waived his ineffective counsel claim.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review Syed's case in 2019.

Ex-town official pleads guilty to Capitol riot charge
(AP) – A former Massachusetts town official pleaded guilty on Wednesday to joining a mob in storming the U.S. Capitol after she organized a bus trip to Washington, D.C., for fellow members of a right-wing group called “Super Happy Fun America.”
Before her guilty plea, Suzanne Ianni had argued in February that federal authorities had selectively targeted her for prosecution based on her political beliefs. Prosecutors said her political views played no role in charging her with crimes for her conduct at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A judge rejected Ianni’s request to dismiss the case before she pleaded guilty.
Ianni, 60, of Natick, Massachusetts, faces a maximum sentence of six months of imprisonment and five years of probation after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols is scheduled to sentence her on Dec. 2.
Ianni was an elected member of Natick Town Meeting in a Boston suburb while serving as operation director of Super Happy Fun America, which gained national notoriety for organizing a “Straight Pride Parade” in Boston in 2019.
On its website, Super Happy Fun America calls itself “a right of center civil rights organization focusing on defending the Constitution, opposing gender madness and defeating cultural Marxism.” The group registered as a nonprofit with Massachusetts state regulators.
A Dec. 29, 2020, post on the group’s Twitter account said Super Happy Fun America members would be in Washington “to get wild.” Ianni was listed as the contact for the trip. The account also tweeted a photo of Ianni and other members on a bus traveling to Washington on the eve of the riot.
After marching to the Capitol, she joined a crowd chanting “Fight for Trump!” and “Our house!” while rioters near her broke windows, forced open doors and breached police barricades. Surveillance video captured Ianni marching through the Capitol after she entered the building through a Senate fire-exit door. She raised her fist in the air in front of police officers who stopped her and other members of the mob, prosecutors said in a court filing.
Mark Sahady, another Super Happy Fun America member, was arrested on Capitol riot-related charges that haven’t been resolved.
In April 2021, Natick Town Meeting members voted to condemn the Capitol riot. Ianni, who was elected to a three-year term that was due to expire in March 2022, told the MetroWest Daily News that the vote represented “political persecution of conservatives.”
More than 870 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Jan. 6 riot. Approximately 400 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors, and over 250 have been sentenced.

This version of story has been corrected to reflect that Judge Carl Nichols did deny Suzanne Ianni’s request to dismiss her case before she pleaded guilty.

VIDEO: Divers find prehistoric human skeleton in ancient cave
MEXICO CITY (AP) - A prehistoric human skeleton has been found in a cave system that was flooded at the end of the last ice age 8,000 years ago, according to a cave-diving archaeologist on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.
Archaeologist Octavio del Rio said he and fellow diver Peter Broger saw the shattered skull and skeleton partly covered by sediment in a cave near where the Mexican government plans to build a high-speed tourist train through the jungle.
Given the distance from the cave entrance, the skeleton couldn’t have gotten there without modern diving equipment, so it must be over 8,000 years old, Del Rio said, referring to the era when rising sea levels flooded the caves.
“There it is. We don’t know if the body was deposited there or if that was where this person died,” said Del Rio. He said that the skeleton was located about 8 meters (26 feet) underwater, about a half-kilometer (one-third of a mile) into the cave system.
Some of the oldest human remains in North America have been discovered in the sinkhole caves known as “cenotes” on the country’s Caribbean coast, and experts say some of those caves are threatened by the Mexican government’s Maya Train tourism project.
Del Rio, who has worked with the National Institute of Anthropology and History on projects in the past, said he had notified the institute of the discovery. The institute did not immediately respond to questions about whether it intended to explore the site.
But Del Rio said Tuesday that institute archaeologist Carmen Rojas told him that the site was registered and would be investigated by the institute’s Quintana Roo state branch Holocene Archaeology Project.
He stressed that the cave — whose location he did not reveal because of a fear the site could be looted or disturbed — was near where the government has cut down a swath of jungle to lay train tracks and could be collapsed, contaminated or closed off by the building project and subsequent development.
“There is a lot more study that has to be done in order to correctly interpret” the find, Del Rio said, noting that “dating, some kind of photographic studies and some collection” would be needed to determine exactly how old the skeleton is.
Del Rio has been exploring the region for three decades, and in 2002, he participated in the discovery and cataloging of remains known as The Woman of Naharon, who died around the same time, or perhaps earlier, than Naia — the nearly complete skeleton of a young woman who died around 13,000 years ago. It was discovered in a nearby cave system in 2007.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is racing to finish his Maya Train project in the remaining two years of his term over the objections of environmentalists, cave divers and archaeologists. They say his haste will allow little time to study the ancient remains.
Activists say the heavy, high-speed rail project will fragment the coastal jungle and will run often above the fragile limestone caves, which — because they’re flooded, twisty and often incredibly narrow — can take decades to explore.
Caves along part of the coast already have been damaged by construction above them, with cement pilings used to support the weight above.
The 950-mile (1,500-kilometer) Maya Train line is meant to run in a rough loop around the Yucatan Peninsula, connecting beach resorts and archaeological sites.
The most controversial stretch cuts a more than 68-mile (110-kilometer) swath through the jungle between the resorts of Cancun and Tulum.
Del Rio said the route through the jungle should be abandoned and the train should be built over the already-impacted coastal highway between Cancun and Tulum, as was originally planned.
López Obrador abandoned the highway route after hotel owners voiced objections, and cost and traffic interruptions became a concern.
“What we want is for them to change to route at this spot, because of the archaeological finds that have been made there, and their importance,” said Del Rio. “They should take the train away from there and put it where they said they were going to build before, on the highway ... an area that has already been affected, devastated.”

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — The path to one of Marshall’s greatest victories was forged through scooping up transfer portal talent, magic tricks, and a second-year coach’s belief that a Sun Belt Conference team can be as good as any opponent, especially a storied giant like Notre Dame.
Fifteen games into his Marshall career, coach Charles Huff’s Thundering Herd became the talk of college football with Saturday’s 26-21 win over the 20.5-point favorite Fighting Irish.
Droves of fans, some of them crying, greeted Marshall’s team bus upon its return to campus in Huntington on Saturday night. Huff responded to 350 text messages. New Marshall President Brad Smith, a former CEO of software company Intuit, was congratulated by executives from across Silicon Valley.
It was Marshall’s second win over a Top 10 team. The other also came on the road, in 2013 against No. 6 Kansas State.
Gone was Notre Dame’s streak of 80 straight weeks in The Associated Press poll and 42 consecutive wins over unranked opponents.
“Phenomenal weekend,” Huff said. “Not only for our football team and our players, but for the state of West Virginia and this community, and everybody that bleeds green. I think it also gives college football its shot, a boost, of energy. I think this is what college football is all about.”
And it’s still going. The local newspaper, The Herald-Dispatch, is busy selling reprints of Sunday’s front page containing a photo with the headline, “Shocker in South Bend.”
Page views on Marshall’s website around the time of the game were more than triple that of a typical Saturday. Traffic on the university’s admissions pages on Saturday and Monday both were higher than at any point in the previous few months.
After a visit Monday from Gov. Jim Justice, himself a Marshall graduate, it was time to go back to work.
“We’ve obviously got to move on,” quarterback Henry Colombi said. “But it’s awesome to be able to reflect on what we did. Our community’s still buzzing about it and I think it’s going to be like that for a while, when you have a big win like that in school history. So I think it’s awesome.”
On Tuesday, there was more electricity when running back Rasheen Ali returned to Marshall’s practice. One of the nation’s top freshmen a year ago when he rushed for 1,400 yards, Ali went on an undisclosed personal leave of absence from the team prior to the season.
It’s uncertain whether Ali will play when Marshall (2-0) travels to Bowling Green (0-2) on Saturday. When he does, it will add to the load of concerns for opposing defenses. His replacement, Khalan Laborn, is ninth in the FBS with 265 yards, nearly matching his entire production when he was at Florida State.
Other transfers who have paid immediate dividends include Colombi, who played at Texas Tech the past two years and is leading the nation in completion percentage at 85.1%.
Huff is in his first head coaching job and he’s the first Black head football coach at Marshall. To know Huff is to understand that when he’s not in business mode on the field, he’s lighthearted. His laugh and smile are often and infectious. He celebrates great efforts by his players.
During the final day of summer camp, Huff brought in magician Carl Michael for a team bonding event. To say it was a hit would be an understatement.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Colombi said. “I’m still thinking about it to this day.”
Michael also had Huff dance for his players.
“He can dance better than me,” Colombi said.
It turns out the session was a good segue into the season.
“If they had had that energy on Saturday that they had for the magic show, we would have won by 50,” Huff said. “No question.”
In reality, that exhibition had a higher purpose.
“What you’ve got to do is you’ve got to show your players that you are real,” Huff said. “That means sometimes you’ve got to be hard on them. That means sometimes you’ve got to put your arm around them. That means sometimes you’ve got to laugh and joke with them. In any organization, when you see that your leader is real, you have a deeper connection, you have a deeper understanding, you have a deeper appreciation for everything involved with what comes from there.”
Huff was associate head coach and running backs coach under Nick Saban at Alabama. His hiring at Marshall in January 2021 came only a few weeks after the Crimson Tide routed Ohio State for the national championship.
After being hired, Huff visited a Huntington cemetery where a memorial honors the victims of the worst disaster in U.S. sports history. That gave him an understanding of the community’s unwavering commitment and passion for a football program that almost went away when a 1970 plane crash killed 75 players, coaches, supporters and the flight crew.
Smith, the university’s president who grew up close to the crash site in nearby Kenova, referred to a quote by Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry in describing Huff: “A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has you see what you don’t want to see, so you can be who you have always known you could be.”
“The way I see him address our community, our university, and every student-athlete as he sees who you are and who you’re capable of being, he makes it his life’s purpose to connect those two,” Smith said.
Huff teaches his players to stay even-keeled and prepare the same way no matter who the opponent. Asked how Marshall can guard against a potential letdown at Bowling Green, Huff’s response was direct and simple.
“Is their field 100 yards by 53-and-a-third? Do they have goal posts?” Huff responded. “If they got those two things, we’ll be all right.”

The Royal Air Force flight that transported Queen Elizabeth II's coffin from Edinburgh to Greater London was the most tracked flight in history, according to the website Flightradar24.
The flight, destined for RAF Northolt was tracked within its first minute in the air, and as the BBC reported, the huge amount of web traffic to the sight during the flights caused disruptions for administrators.

The previous record for the most tracked flight was when U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's flight from the U.S. on her tour of Asia was followed as she flew to Taiwan. That flight was followed by some 2.2 million viewers of Flightradar24.
As the BBC reported, Queen Elizabeth II's coffin was transported on an RAF Globemaster C-17 after it finished lying in state at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. It then was flown to Greater London, where it was driven to Buckingham Palace in London.
Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, accompanied the coffin on the flight.
The princess said, "It has been an honor and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys."
She said she felt fortunate to be with her "dearest mother" in her final hours of life before her death.

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vance & Hines, the most noted name in powersports performance, today announced a lineup of exhaust systems for the most popular side-by-side (SxS) UTV offerings on the market. The UTV market in the US was estimated at over $7 billion in 2020 with a projected CAGR of 6% through 2027.
The company will debut its Mojave Eliminator Series this weekend at the Sand Sports Super Show in Orange County, California.
"Style, sound and performance are the three pillars of our brand," said Vance & Hines President Mike Kennedy. "We knew we wanted to enter the side-by-side market with a bold statement about Vance & Hines. Not just great performance, not just great sound, but also a style that totally transforms the rear of the vehicle. I think our team nailed it, and I can't wait to show it to customers this weekend."
Every aspect of the new line of exhaust systems has been tailored to meet the rigorous demands of off-roading, from heavy-duty bracketry to an automotive-grade, all-mechanical muffler design that is maintenance-free. Each of the systems produces power gains along with a deeper and more satisfying growl, while still meeting SAE J1287 sound standards and complying with EPA emissions criteria. All the units are equipped with US Forest Service compliant spark arrestors.
Vance & Hines has been creating race-winning systems for the Yamaha Powersports1.com racing team since 2020, with drivers Rod and Owen VanEperen, earning four SxS championships over the past three seasons. Those learnings from the track have enabled the company to develop the Mojave Eliminator Series, testing and refining the new systems at the Vance & Hines Off Road Proving Grounds in the Mojave Desert.
All of the systems are visually striking and change the look of the rear of the unit with a laser-cut rear guard featuring the Vance & Hines logo. The 4-inch, dual-tip, center exits with CNC-machined billet end caps reaffirm to riders left in the dust that this system delivers the sound, performance and style that Vance & Hines is known for.
The initial launch of the series includes three part numbers which fit Honda, Polaris and Can-Am units dating from 2017 to today. (See below for specific fitments). Vance & Hines will begin shipment of its Mojave Eliminator Series units later in October.
Vance & Hines part number 14531 mounts to the factory header on Honda Talon units from 2019 to 2022. Retail price is $1,399.99.
The 2022 Polaris RZR Turbo R and 2020 to 2022 Polaris RZR Pro XP models use Vance & Hines part number 11015 which mounts to the factory down pipe. Retail price is $1,399.99.
Can-Am Maverick X3 from 2017 to 2022 use Vance & Hines part number 11017 which mounts to the factory down pipe. Retail price is $1,249.99.
Race Only parts for the Yamaha YXZ1000R are available through the Vance & Hines Racing Development Center in Brownsburg, IN. There are two configurations to choose from for the Yamaha, including a full system under part number 15210 with a retail price of $1,499.99 and a slip-on ideal for vehicles running a turbocharger under part number 15213 with a retail price of $699.99.
The Vance & Hines brand has always been about enhancing the exhilaration of the motorcycle ride. It started over 40 years ago, when Terry Vance and Byron Hines were two young enthusiasts in the fledgling Southern California motorcycle drag race scene. Terry always wanted to go faster, and Byron knew how to make that happen. In short order, their on-track success and innovation drew the attention of other racers, riders and motorcycle manufacturers, which ultimately translated to commercial demand for their products and services. Today, the Company's mission and activity is the same; make bikes go faster on the racetrack and take those learnings to make impactful products for riders around the world. Since the Company's inception in 1979, it has run factory race programs in partnership with Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati and Harley-Davidson in drag racing, road racing and flat track. Vance & Hines is based in Santa Fe Springs CA and has its Racing Development Center in Brownsburg IN. Learn more about the company's history and products at www.vanceandhines.com.

Corrections officer arrested for having sex with inmates, sheriff says
ALTURAS, Calif. (Gray News) – Officials in California say a corrections officer has been terminated and arrested for having sexual relationships with inmates.
Melanie Alicia Martin, 34, with the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office, was arrested on Sept. 10 and booked into the Modoc County Jail on a $20,000 bond.
California law prohibits correctional officers from engaging in sexual activity with inmates as inmates cannot consent to sex if confined in a detention facility.
Modoc County Sheriff Tex Dowdy said in a statement that his office is taking the allegations very seriously. The investigation was completed by an outside agency.
Modoc County is located in the northeast corner of California, bordering Oregon and Nevada.

Not many people get to be a pioneer at 77 years old, especially in sports broadcasting.
That will be the case, though, when Al Michaels calls Thursday night’s game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs on Prime Video.
The matchup between AFC West rivals kicks off an 11-year agreement between Amazon and the NFL and marks the first time the league has sold a package of games to a streaming service.
“It wasn’t that long ago I had no idea what streaming was, as did a lot of us. I find it exciting because all of my friends, my kids, and grandkids all think this is about the coolest thing in the world,” said Michaels, who will team up with Kirk Herbstreit and sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung.
“I said to somebody, ‘They think we’re coming over the Rockies in a covered wagon.’ I said, ‘We’re coming over the Rockies in broadband. We are the pioneers.’”
Amazon won the rights to the prime-time package last March. It was initially supposed to begin in 2023, along with the rest of the league’s broadcasting contracts, but two months later, the NFL announced that Amazon would take over the Thursday night package from Fox a year earlier.
That left Amazon with 15 months to get everything up and running. It marks the first time since Fox in 1994 that a new broadcasting partner has been brought into the NFL framework.
For Marie Donoghue, Amazon’s vice president of Global Sports Video, Thursday’s game marks a rewarding end of a four-year quest to bring the NFL to the company.
Donoghue was an executive VP at ESPN for 19 years and saw what the NFL could do for Prime Video much as it did when ESPN and Fox began carrying games.
While this is Prime Video’s first significant U.S. sports package — it carries some New York Yankees, Seattle Storm, and Seattle Sounders games regionally — it has a robust international resume.
In the United Kingdom, it carries 20 Premier League games and the U.S. Open tennis tournament. It will also carry a package of Champions League games in the UK beginning in 2024. Prime Video already streams the European club soccer competition in Italy and Germany.
The biggest concern about any event that is streamed live is video quality, along with making sure the infrastructure can handle the demands. Jared Stacy, Prime Video’s director of Global Live Sports Production, was already in the production truck at Arrowhead Stadium Tuesday afternoon going over final preparations, including covering all contingencies.
Amazon and the NFL also have a prior working history. Amazon Web Services has partnered with the league for Next Gen Stats since 2015, while Prime Video has simulcast Thursday night games since 2017.
The 15-game package averages $1.2 billion per season. That could go up slightly beginning next year when the NFL is expected to schedule a game for the day after Thanksgiving since “Black Friday” unofficially kicks off the Christmas shopping season.
Jon Christian, the EVP for OnPrem, a technology consulting firm specializing in media and entertainment, said the Thursday night package is a great test case for the NFL.
“This is the first time an NFL game will be locked behind a streaming subscription service,” he said. “This will eliminate a portion of the audience that doesn’t have this capability or Amazon Prime. It will be interesting to see how much they gain from the ‘cord-cutters’ and how much this deal spurs new Amazon Prime subscribers.”
Those watching on the Prime Video app on their TVs, phones, or tablets can access on-demand statistics and highlights to enhance the second-screen experience.
When it comes to the actual game broadcasts, don’t expect Amazon to reinvent the wheel with executive producer Fred Gaudelli calling the shots. It will be Gaudelli’s 33rd season as the lead producer for an NFL prime-time package. He worked on ESPN’s Sunday night package from 1990-2000 and ABC’s “Monday Night Football” from 2001-05 before going to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” for the past 16 seasons.
Gaudelli and his production crew have state-of-the-art equipment, including an ergonomic production truck that allows him to call the game standing up. The production crew did two run-through sessions in Los Angeles before the preseason game between the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans on Aug. 25.
Many lauded the preseason presentation, saying it appeared that Prime Video had been carrying games for a couple of years instead of it being its first.
“I think the quality of the game coverage, and obviously the announcing, will be as good as there is in the NFL. That’s my goal, that’s why I’m here, and that’s what we intend to do,” Gaudelli said.
Gaudelli has worked with Michaels since 2001 while Herbstreit emerged as the analyst after Troy Aikman decided to go to ESPN. Hartung, previously an ESPN sideline reporter, returns to sports after five years with ABC News and CNN.
The area where Prime could stand out is its pregame show. Amazon has established veterans in Charissa Thompson and Tony Gonzalez, but it also hired Richard Sherman, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Andrew Whitworth. Having three television rookies coming straight off the football field could make things entertaining.
While the NFL and Prime Video would like to draw big viewer numbers immediately, both parties realize the transition will take some time, even though there has been extensive promotion about where to find the games. While everyone focuses on the first game, the bigger picture is down the road.
“This is the start of an 11-year deal. Of course, we want the biggest audience possible, but this is a big change for fans,” Donoghue said. “We’re very comfortable with that. We are overly focused on our production and what we deliver for fans. We’ve got an incredibly high bar that we set for ourselves. So we know this will evolve over time.”

(The Hill) – Nearly 5,000 railway workers at the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) voted to reject a tentative contract agreement with railroads and authorize a strike, the union said Wednesday.
IAM members are the first to approve a strike and reject a contract based on recommendations released by a White House-appointed board last month.
The vote reveals that rail workers are not satisfied with the agreement, which calls for 24 percent raises and back pay but doesn’t address workers’ demands for more predictable scheduling and the ability to take time off for doctors’ appointments without being penalized.
IAM said that it would delay strike action until Sept. 29 at noon to allow union leaders to continue negotiations with railroads.
“We look forward to continuing that vital work with a fair contract that ensures our members and their families are treated with the respect they deserve for keeping America’s goods and resources moving through the pandemic,” IAM said in a statement.
More than 115,000 rail workers are legally allowed to strike as of Friday, a move that would shut down the transport of food, fuel and other goods, likely damaging the nation’s strained supply chains and driving up prices.
Lawmakers are preparing to use their authority to block a walkout. GOP senators are backing a bill that would enact a new contract based on the presidential board’s recommendations — the option railroads and other business interests are lobbying for — while Democratic leaders say they will intervene if necessary.
The White House, meanwhile, is discussing contingency plans to assure that key goods still make it to their destinations if railroads shut down.
“We are working with other modes of transportation, including shippers and truckers, air freight, to see how they can step in and keep goods moving in case of this rail shutdown,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday.

(The Hill) – People on Social Security could see a huge spike in their checks from a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) that is itself a result of inflation.
In a letter sent on Tuesday, Senior Citizen League policy analyst Mary Johnson said recipients could see an 8.7 percent COLA spike next year.
That’s a huge increase reflective of the high inflation people are experiencing across the country, though at the same time it is actually a smaller COLA than the SCL projected just a month ago. At the time, Johnson was forecasting a 9.6 percent hike.
“After evaluating the August consumer price data, what I’m finding clearly illustrates the weakness in our inflation adjustment system for Social Security. My COLA estimate has dropped to 8.7% almost a full percentage point from the 9.6% that I forecast last month, Johnson wrote in her letter.
“That was a significant drop, but the Consumer Price Index, CPI-W (CPI-W), the index that Social Security benefits are based on, has decreased even —by 1.10 percentage point year over year to 8.7%,” the letter stated.
The 8.7 percent COLA would increase the average retiree’s benefit from the $1,656 they receive monthly to $1,800 by next year, an increase of $144.10.
This is also the highest COLA increase since 1982 when the Social Security Administration (SSA) estimated a 7.4 percent increase in the cost-of-living adjustment.
That might not translate into much more money for people living on their Social Security checks, however, given rising costs for goods and healthcare expenses.
“Across the board, retired and disabled Social Security recipients spend a bigger portion of their incomes on healthcare costs, housing, and food and less on gasoline,” Johnson said. “Over the past 12 months, they rank food costs as their fastest growing expenditure, housing, and transportation in that order.”
The Labor Department on Tuesday announced that consumer prices rose in August by 0.1 percent despite a drop in gas prices, news that triggered a steep stock selloff by aggravating concerns that inflation is not easing.

(NewsNation) —An American teacher behind bars in Russia has broken her silence.
In a letter from a Russian prison, 46-year-old Sarah Krivanek says “the road has been very hard” since she landed in legal trouble nearly a year ago.
She says her health has gotten worse and she has no medical care.
“I want to come home to you all. And when I get home, I will tell you everything. I can’t do that in a letter,” the letter reads.
She’s currently serving a year and three-month sentence in connection to assault charges from a domestic dispute. Krivanek was arrested last fall after she reportedly scratched her Russian partner’s nose with a knife.
However, her friends believe she is the one who was abused and was defending herself. According to relatives, Krivvanek suffers from a kidney disease that can be deadly if not treated.
“I’m just so worried about her because she’s not able to tell us exactly how severe her health is,” Krivanek’s close friend Anita Martinez said Tuesday night on NewsNation’s “Banfield.” “I was happy that she’s alive because I didn’t even know that. I didn’t know what was happening with her.”
According to Martinez, the prisoners rely heavily on outside sources to provide basic supplies.
“It’s my understanding that they give them a uniform and basic food. That’s it. Everything else they depend on family and friends. But the problem is that with the sanctions that are in place in Russia right now, we’re not able to send anything because they can’t have any currency or anything from outside countries,” Martinez said.
Martinez believes that a human rights organization will visit Krivvanek soon, but she’s worried that if they don’t, her situation could be dire as winter conditions worsen.
“I’m just hoping they (the U.S. embassy) do something to help get her home before it’s too late. I know she just has a few months left on her sentence, but depending on the severity of what she’s dealing with right now, I don’t know if she has a few months left, period,” Martinez said.

Here’s how the freight rail strike will impact commuters
By Matt McFarland, CNN Business
US commuter rail service will face a huge disruption Friday if a freight rail strike is not avoided.
Many passenger rail services operate on tracks owned by freight railroads. Without the freight employees on hand to operate their networks, US rail commuters will be unable to make their trips. Some passenger rail operators have already cautioned customers about service disruptions. Amtrak faces the largest impact, as it generally only owns tracks between Boston and Washington, DC, but regional and local rail services will suffer as well.
Metra, which operates 11 commuter rail lines in the Chicago area, warned its customers in a statement Tuesday that “a potential work stoppage by freight railroad workers” could “directly impact” its “ability to operate most of its services.”
“We want you to be aware of this issue so that you can make alternate plans for travel should a work stoppage occur,” Metra told customers.
Metra’s 11 rail lines carried an average of 36 million passengers annually from 2019 to 2021, but only two of those lines are wholly owned by Metra and would remain in operation amid a freight strike, according to spokeswoman Meg Reile. She said Metra was in talks with the railroads to see if an additional line could remain active if Metra assumes responsibilities for controlling traffic on the tracks, a duty currently held by a freight railroad.
“It’s all up in the air,” Reile said. “We don’t have any clear answers yet.”
The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, which operates the Altamont Commuter Express in California almost entirely on Union Pacific Railroad tracks between Stockton and San Jose, expects to reduce service Thursday and fully suspend it Friday.
“As you can imagine, we are watching the situation very closely,” its marketing manager David Lipari told CNN Business.
The Maryland Transportation Authority, which operates the MARC train on CSX tracks with about 250,000 monthly riders in the Baltimore-Washington area, warned riders Monday afternoon that its Camden and Brunswick lines will be suspended until a resolution to the potential strike. The agency’s commuter buses will honor MARC tickets during the service disruption. Its Penn line will remain active as the tracks are owned by Amtrak.
Many parties are hopeful that a strike will be averted. The White House has pushed for a resolution. Freight railroads reached for comment declined to detail any steps that they may take to allow passenger operators to remain in service.
There are some passenger rail exceptions that will not be impacted by the strike.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road in New York that have carried roughly 146,000 passengers a day this month, does not expect any impact. It has its own staff that operates the trains and owns most of the tracks the lines operates on.
But others aren’t as well-positioned for a strike.
Freight railroad BNSF operates Sound Transit’s Sounder trains in Washington state. Sound Transit spokesman David Jackson said his agency is looking at options to support customers if there’s no service.
BNSF said in an emailed statement it would work with agencies to avoid disruptions and minimize impacts, but declined to provide any details about how it’s doing so.

Jon Christian, the EVP for OnPrem, a technology consulting firm specializing in media and entertainment, said the Thursday night package is a great test case for the NFL.
“This is the first time an NFL game will be locked behind a streaming subscription service,” he said. “This will eliminate a portion of the audience that doesn’t have this capability or Amazon Prime. It will be interesting to see how much they gain from the ‘cord-cutters’ and how much this deal spurs new Amazon Prime subscribers.”
Those watching on the Prime Video app on their TVs, phones, or tablets can access on-demand statistics and highlights to enhance the second-screen experience.
When it comes to the actual game broadcasts, don’t expect Amazon to reinvent the wheel with executive producer Fred Gaudelli calling the shots. It will be Gaudelli’s 33rd season as the lead producer for an NFL prime-time package. He worked on ESPN’s Sunday night package from 1990-2000 and ABC’s “Monday Night Football” from 2001-05 before going to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” for the past 16 seasons.
Gaudelli and his production crew have state-of-the-art equipment, including an ergonomic production truck that allows him to call the game standing up. The production crew did two run-through sessions in Los Angeles before the preseason game between the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans on Aug. 25.
Many lauded the preseason presentation, saying it appeared that Prime Video had been carrying games for a couple of years instead of it being its first.
“I think the quality of the game coverage, and obviously the announcing, will be as good as there is in the NFL. That’s my goal, that’s why I’m here, and that’s what we intend to do,” Gaudelli said.
Gaudelli has worked with Michaels since 2001 while Herbstreit emerged as the analyst after Troy Aikman decided to go to ESPN. Hartung, previously an ESPN sideline reporter, returns to sports after five years with ABC News and CNN.
The area where Prime could stand out is its pregame show. Amazon has established veterans in Charissa Thompson and Tony Gonzalez, but it also hired Richard Sherman, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Andrew Whitworth. Having three television rookies coming straight off the football field could make things entertaining.
While the NFL and Prime Video would like to draw big viewer numbers immediately, both parties realize the transition will take some time, even though there has been extensive promotion about where to find the games. While everyone focuses on the first game, the bigger picture is down the road.
“This is the start of an 11-year deal. Of course, we want the biggest audience possible, but this is a big change for fans,” Donoghue said. “We’re very comfortable with that. We are overly focused on our production and what we deliver for fans. We’ve got an incredibly high bar that we set for ourselves. So we know this will evolve over time.”

Financial giant Goldman Sachs is reportedly expected to lay off workers, with some reports estimating redundancies could reach into the hundreds for employees there.
As the BBC reported, while company leadership declined to comment on the situation, the company's chief financial officer did confirm a change in hiring.
CFO for Goldman Sachs, Denis Coleman, said, "We have made the decision to slow hiring velocity."
The bank said it might have to cut expenses amid a worsening financial environment in the U.S. and worldwide. The company reported a 48% drop in second-quarter profits citing inflation worries and clients hesitant to invest more.
For context, Reuters reported that the Wall Street giant usually cuts some 1%-5% of its underperforming staff annually. The cuts expected in 2022 will reportedly end at the lower end of that range.

WASHINGTON — Car buyers might not get the vehicle they want on time, commuter rail lines could see service disrupted, and shipments from everything from oil to livestock feed could be snarled.
Those are just a few of the wide-ranging impacts a walkout by U.S. rail workers would have on the country’s industries and economy. A strike could happen if the railroads and unions can’t settle their differences before an early Friday walkout deadline.
Here’s how some industries are gauging the potential impacts and getting ready for the possible work stoppage.
AUTO INDUSTRY
Nearly all new vehicles that travel more than a couple hundred miles from the factory to their destination are shipped by rail because it’s more efficient, said Michael Robinet, an executive director for S&P Global Mobility. So it’s almost a certainty that new vehicles coming to the U.S. from Mexico or other countries will be delayed, he said.
“It’s not like there’s extra truck capacity to take all the vehicles that the railroads can’t carry,” Robinet said.
Automakers might be hampered in building vehicles, too, because some larger parts and raw materials are transported by rail. But Robinet said automakers will go to great lengths to get the parts to keep their factories running as much as possible.
Mike Austin, senior mobility analyst for Guidehouse Research, said the strike could make new vehicles even more scarce, driving prices up beyond current record levels. That could raise inflation “as other goods aren’t moving through the rails.”
Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, said Wednesday at the Detroit auto show that his company will wind up apologizing to customers because their orders may not arrive on time.
COMMUTING
Metra commuter rail service, which operates in the Chicago area, said Wednesday that it would suspend operations on four of its 11 lines on Friday if a work stoppage occurs. Some disruption on those lines would begin after rush hour Thursday night. In Minnesota, the operators of a commuter rail line that carries workers along a densely populated corridor from Minneapolis to northwestern suburbs and towns warned that service could be suspended as early as Friday.
In the Puget Sound region of Washington state, any strike would cancel the rail service until employees return to work, said David Jackson, a spokesman for the regional transit agency Sound Transit. Some Caltrain riders in the San Francisco Bay Area could be impacted by a rail strike, officials said.
The Maryland Transit Administration warned this week that a strike would mean the immediate suspension of service on two of its three MARC commuter rail lines.
Amtrak, meanwhile, said that starting Thursday, all its long-distance trains are canceled to avoid possible passenger disruptions while en route.
ENERGY
A strike could have a significant impact on the energy industry, and could hurt consumers who would likely end up paying more for gasoline, electricity and natural gas. Refineries might have to halt production if they can’t get the deliveries they need, or if they don’t have access to rail to ship gasoline.
No one wants to risk leaving flammable chemicals stranded on the railroad tracks if a strike occurs. That's why railroads began curtailing shipments of hazardous materials on Monday to protect that dangerous cargo.
Roughly 300,000 barrels of crude oil move by rail each day, which could supply about two mid-size refineries, according to AFPM. And about 5 million barrels of propane, representing a third of U.S. consumption, are moved by rail monthly, the group said.
Roughly 70% of ethanol produced in the U.S. is shipped by rail, and ethanol accounts for about a tenth of U.S. gasoline volume, according to S&P Global Commodity Insights. Nearly 75% of the coal moved to electric utilities in the first half of 2022 was moved by rail, the group said.
AGRICULTURE
Livestock producers could see problems almost immediately if shipments of feed abruptly ended, according to the National Grain and Feed Association.
Meat and poultry groups noted the reliance on rail for shipments of feed and called for a quick resolution of the rail dispute. Every week, the nation’s chicken industry receives about 27 million bushels of corn and 11 million bushels of soybean meal to feed chickens, said Tom Super, senior vice president of the National Chicken Council.
RETAIL
Experts say retailers have been shipping goods earlier in the season in recent months as a way to protect themselves from potential disruptions. But this buffer will only slightly minimize the impact from a railroad strike, which is brewing during the critical holiday shipping season, said Jesse Dankert, vice president of supply chain at the Retail Industry Leaders Association, a retail trade group that counts more than 200 retailers like Best Buy as its members. She noted that retailers are already feeling the impact from the uncertainty as some freight carriers are limiting services.
Dankert noted that retailers, noticing a slowdown in shipments, are now making contingency plans like turning to trucks to pick up some of the slack and making plans to use some of the excess inventory that it has in its distribution centers.
But she noted that there are not enough trucks and drivers to meet their needs. That scarcity will only drive up costs and make inflation worse, she said.
“As we have seen in the past two and half years, if there is a breakdown anywhere along the supply chain, one link falters, you see that ripple effect pretty quickly and those effects just spread from there," Dankert said.

Jeep has a new electric off-roader headed to showrooms in 2024 in the form of the Recon, but in its new electric focus it hasn’t forgotten the Wrangler, which since 2021 has been available in 4xe plug-in hybrid guise.
Jeep boasts the Wrangler 4xe is America’s most popular plug-in hybrid, and for 2023 the automaker will further entice things by reducing the starting price with a new Willys entry-level grade priced from $55,590, including a $1,595 destination charge.
That’s down from the $56,190 price of the current 2022 Wrangler’s entry grade, the Sahara. Other grades include the better-equipped High Altitude and Rubicon.
Despite being the entry point of the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe lineup, the Willys still comes standard with LED headlights, 17-inch wheels, LT255/75R17C mud-terrain tires, rock rails, a limited-slip differential, a 9-speaker Alpine audio system, and all-weather floor mats. There are also “Willys” decals and a new “Electric 4-Wheel Drive” decal, both with a retro design. Popular features like the Sky One-Touch Power-Top and 8.4-inch infotainment screen are available, though.
Of course there’s also the Wrangler’s off-road capability supported by the 2.72:1 Selec-Trac full-time 4-wheel-drive system, heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, and a lift kit resulting in 10.1 inches of ground clearance. Together with the chunky mud tires, the lift kit helps deliver 30 inches of water fording.
All Wrangler 4xe grades come with the same powertrain: a 2.0-liter turbo-4 works with a pair of electric motors to generate a peak 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The electric motors are powerful enough to drive the vehicle in 4WD mode without the aid of the engine, in which case up to 21 miles of electric range is possible, courtesy a 17.3-kwh battery.
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe made its debut on Wednesday at the 2022 Detroit auto show where Jeep also presented a Grand Cherokee 4xe 30th Anniversary Edition.
Order books for the Wrangler Willys 4xe are now open and first deliveries are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2022. Production will be handled at the Wrangler’s home in Toledo, Ohio.

Some people voiced their displeasure with Jimmy Kimmel for pulling a stunt as Quinta Brunson took the stage to accept her first Emmy award.
Monday was a historic moment for Brunson, who stars and created the ABC comedy "Abbott Elementary," as she became the first Black woman to be nominated for three Emmys in the same year in comedy categories, NPR reported.
Before Brunson won the Emmy for best writing of a comedy series, as part of a comedic bit, co-presenter Will Arnett walked out to present the award, dragging the late-night host by his foot, "Today" and NPR reported.
So when Brunson took the stage to accept the award, the news outlets reported that she had to step over Kimmel, who was still lying onstage.
Brunson, who appeared to be a good sport about it, told Kimmel to "wake up I won," the NBC morning show and The Hollywood Reporter reported.
Kimmel responded back with a thumbs-up, but he never left the stage until after Brunson finished her speech and had to be dragged off by Arnett, the media outlets reported.
Backstage, Brunson told reporters that the moment “didn’t bother me that much,” but she added that she wasn't sure how the internet would feel about it, THR reported.
Well, people did criticize Kimmel for stealing the attention away from Brunson, THR and "Today" reported.
But Brunson had no ill-will towards Kimmel, telling reporters in the press room that he gave her her "first big late-night spot" and that she was "happy it was Jimmy," "Today" reported.

First of its kind index measures status of state religious liberty laws
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy (CRCD), an initiative of First Liberty Institute, today published the first annual Religious Liberty in the States report which includes an index reflecting free-exercise protections at the state level.
The data for this first year of the project are based on 11 legal "safeguards" of religious liberty. Once aggregated, they produce one index score per state, suitable for ranking states and, in time, tracking changes. At the index website (religiouslibertyinthestates.com) a separate downloadable scorecard is available for each state for those who are curious about individual states or who wish to communicate more effectively with their elected officials.
"The RLS index makes a significant and unique contribution to the field in a way that is rigorous, thorough, and thoughtful," said Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, and Chief Counsel to First Liberty Institute. "We are proud of this project and thankful for the hard work that has made it possible."
"Not only do we construct an index that gives each state a single score and a place in our ranking, making interstate comparisons straightforward, we also have compiled a dataset like nothing else that is out there," said Sarah M. Estelle, director of the CRCD's Religious Liberty in the States project.
The index revealed some surprising results. There are both red and blue states at the top and bottom of the rankings. "Red" Mississippi ranked first, followed closely by "blue" Illinois. Texas, known as a conservative state, ranked in the middle at 25th. While a few of the bluest states rank in the bottom three California (48th) and New York (50th), other blue states such as Washington (5th), Maryland (8th), Connecticut (11th), and Maine (14th) scored in the top third.
"A great virtue of this Index is that it provides very clear and concrete opportunities for states to improve their protections of religious liberty," said Jordan J. Ballor, director of research at CRCD. "For every state there are examples from other states -- whether their neighbors or from different parts of the country -- that can be adapted and used to address gaps in their safeguards of free exercise."
The index measures the presence or lack of safeguards including conscience protections for health-care workers, opportunities for absentee voting for religious reasons, the ability of
religious organizations to refuse participation in marriage and weddings that violate religious beliefs, and exemptions to childhood immunization requirements. The full list of safeguards is available in the report.
The Religious Liberty in the States launch event included a panel discussion on the report, livestreamed on CRCD's YouTube channel.
The Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy (CRCD) supports the creation and promotion of high-quality scholarship at the intersection of religion, culture, and democracy. Our publications, programming, and resources affirm the importance of religion as a public good for strengthening social bonds and reinforcing foundational freedoms.
First Liberty Institute is a non-profit public interest law firm and the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious freedom for all Americans.
Religious Liberty in the States is a project of the CRCD and parent organization First Liberty Institute (FLI). The RLS index is a measure of laws and constitutional safeguards for religious exercise in the fifty states, including a ranking of the states across twenty-nine items that contribute to eleven distinct safeguards.

Pity Washington/Baltimore-area transit commuters. Their average wait time for trains and buses — 17 minutes, according to Moovit, a widely used transit app — is among the worst in the United States, among the lengthier in the Northern Hemisphere, and at least 50 percent longer than the wait times riders face in most of Western Europe, Australia and Russia. More than a quarter of local passengers in D.C. and Baltimore wait over 20 minutes for their ride; among major U.S. cities, only Los Angeles, San Diego and Miami are worse, and only slightly.
Much of the blame for Washington’s poor performance lies with Metrorail, the nation’s second-busiest — and episodically dysfunctional — subway system. Its health and the region’s economic vitality are inextricably linked; vibrant neighborhoods in Arlington, Bethesda, the District and elsewhere were all but dead before Metro stations opened nearly half a century ago. Now, the region’s post-pandemic revival depends critically on Metro’s own return to good health.
For that to happen, Maryland, Virginia and D.C. will have to open their wallets. Strategizing about how to do that must begin now.
The timing of severe service cuts facing Metrorail is a question; the hard reality of the system’s financial needs is not. Weekday subway ridership has remained stuck for months at 60 percent below its pre-pandemic levels. Even as drivers have returned to the roads — highway traffic in the D.C. area has rebounded nearly to its congested 2019 numbers — Metrorail remains lightly used.
Part of the reason is that many office employees remain telecommuters, working remotely from home. As government agencies and companies enforce back-to-office edicts, ridership should gradually pick up — or so Metro hopes. But the system’s own problems have compounded its woes. The long waits have been even worse since late last year, when a safety defect forced more than half the system’s rail cars out of commission. And just this month, more than 8,000 additional weekday riders were further inconvenienced when Metro shut down the Yellow Line for eight months. The system is making long-scheduled repairs to the Potomac bridge and tunnel that connects the Pentagon in Northern Virginia with L’Enfant Plaza in downtown D.C. Many of those passengers will turn to their cars rather than the slow shuttle buses Metro has offered; some might never return to subway commuting.
That’s a danger signal. Already, Metro is facing a $500 million annual shortfall — roughly 20 percent of its operating budget — starting next summer, when $2.4 billion in federal pandemic relief funds will run out. Metro’s new general manager, Randy Clarke, says he can defer major service cuts until mid-2024; he’s counting on improved ridership as suspended rail cars are restored to service. Whether or not he’s right, the clock is ticking.
Elsewhere, leaders are moving aggressively to shore up battered systems. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) proposed $750 million in grants to promote free rides for three months. In Chicago, the city council greenlighted Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) blueprint for fare card giveaways. In the Washington area, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), and the governors of Virginia and Maryland, will need similarly bold thinking. Without it, the region they serve will struggle to regain its former buoyancy.

Probable cause found against man in concealment of body, fraud case
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - Probable cause has been found against a man charged with using a woman’s debit card after her body was found in a freezer at her home.
According to information from the Kanawha County Courthouse, probable cause was found in a concealment of a body charge against Arnold Hiller, 47. Probable cause also was found in a fraud charge against Hiller.
That means there’s enough evidence to send the case through the court system, including to a grand jury.
Hiller is charged in connection with a case involving Cynthia Mudd whose body was found Aug. 19 in a freezer at her home along the 5000 block of Saulton Drive in Charleston.
The case against Samuel May, a fellow defendant in the case, has been continued to another date.
A bond reduction for Hiller was denied. His bond remains $100,000 cash only.

- Gold price retreats from a fortnight top, snaps two-day uptrend.
- China’s return, cautious mood ahead of US CPI favor XAU/USD pullback.
- US inflation expectations, cautious optimism surrounding broad economic transition underpin bullish bias.
- Yields ease from multi-day high, equities/stock futures remain mildly bid.
Gold price (XAU/USD) takes offers to refresh intraday low around $1,721, snapping a two-day uptrend after refreshing a fortnight high. It’s worth noting that the yellow metal’s weakness during Tuesday’s Asian session takes clues from the market’s cautious mood ahead of the key US inflation data, as well as mixed concerns surrounding China.
Headlines from the Financial Times (FT) suggest mixed views over US President Joe Biden’s chip plan that challenges China to seem to weigh on the XAU/USD buyers. On the same line, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s aim to reassert Beijing’s influence during the first foreign trip after covid-led lockdowns underpins the cautious mood as it could escalate the US-China tension.
It’s worth noting that China’s return from the long weekend and its status as among the world’s biggest gold consumers highlight a cautious mood, as well as profit-booking, during the Asian session.
Alternatively, hopes of softer inflation appear to defend the XAU/USD bulls. That said, US Consumers saw inflation at 5.75% over the next 12 months in August, down from July’s 6.2%, as well as the lowest since October 2021, as per the New York Fed's monthly consumer expectations survey details released on Monday. Further data shared by Reuters suggest that the three-year inflation expectations marked the slowest pace since late 2020 while averaging 2.8% versus 3.2% reported in July.
Against this backdrop, the US 10-year Treasury yields retreat from a three-month high, down two basis points (bps) to 3.34%. Even so, S&P 500 Futures and the stocks in the Asia-Pacific zone print mixed performance by the press time.
Looking forward, US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for August, expected to ease to -0.1% MoM versus 0.0% prior, will be important for fresh clues. Should the data renew reflation woes, the further downside of the XAU/USD can’t be ruled out.
Technical analysis
Gold price drops back below the 100-SMA while reversing from a one-week-old ascending trend channel’s resistance line. The pullback moves join the impending bear cross of the MACD and RSI retreat to keep sellers hopeful.
However, a one-week-old support line, near $1,717, restricts the immediate downside of the XAU/USD, a break of which could direct bears towards the stated channel’s support line, close to $1,697 at the latest.
It’s worth noting that the gold price weakness past $1,697 won’t hesitate to challenge the yearly low surrounding $1,680.
Meanwhile, recovery moves will initially jostle with the 100-SMA level of $1,725 before challenging the aforementioned channel’s top, around $1,733 by the press time. Following that, a run-up towards the 200-SMA level surrounding $1,750 can’t be ruled out.
Overall, the gold price may witness further downside but the room towards the south is limited.

AUD/USD gains some traction bolstered by US dollar weakness

Hyundai Mobis will first plan to expand its production facilities across the globe for prompt and timely supply to global automakers.

In particular, Hyundai Mobis pointed to its successful mass-production of key electrification components, including the battery system for the e-GMP platform used in Hyundai and Kia electric vehicles, and the PE module, and showed its confidence in the paradigm shift for electric vehicle platforms. Together, value-added products including the eCCPM module, electrification platform, AR HUD, and lighting grilles are drawing attention from clients in North America for its versatility and innovation.
During the presentation, Hyundai Mobis announced its goal of driving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36% in the North American market through the year 2030.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s privacy watchdog has fined Google and Meta a combined 100 billion won ($72 million) for tracking consumers’ online behavior without their consent and using their data for targeted advertisements.
South Korea’s Personal Information and Protection Commission said it fined Google 69.2 billion won ($50 million) and Meta 30.8 billion won ($22 million) after a meeting where officials agreed that the companies’ business practices might cause “serious” privacy infringements.
The fines were the biggest ever penalties imposed by South Korea for privacy law violations, the commission said in a press release.
Both companies refuted the commission’s findings and Meta indicated it could challenge its fine in court. The fines can be appealed through administrative lawsuits, which must be filed within 90 days after the companies are formally notified of the commission’s decision.
According to the commission, Google and Meta, which operates Facebook and Instagram, didn’t clearly inform users or obtain their consent as they collected information about their online activities when they used other websites or services outside their own platforms. Such data was used to analyze their interests and create individually customized advertisements, the commission said.
The commission ordered the companies to provide an “easy and clear” process of consent giving people more control over whether to share information about what they do online.
“Google did not clearly inform consumers that it would collect and use their behavioral information about their use of other companies’ (services) when they signed up,” the commission said.
“Meta did not present the content of consent in way that could be easily seen by consumers when they signed up, and just included the content in their full data policy statement. It did not specifically inform consumers of the legally required notifications and did not obtain their consent.”
The commission said the companies’ practices seriously threatened privacy rights as more than 82% of South Koreans using Google and more than 98% using Meta have let the companies track their online activities.
Google, a search and email giant that also operates the YouTube video platform, disagreed with the commission’s findings. It said in a statement that it has always demonstrated a commitment to “making ongoing updates that give users control and transparency.” The company said it will review the commission’s findings once it receives the fully written decision.
Meta said it will consider “all options,” including seeking a court ruling.
“We are confident that we work with our clients in a legally compliant way that meets the processes required by local regulations,” Meta said in an emailed statement.

FLORENCE, Ala. — An Alabama inmate who authorities say escaped with the help of a jail supervisor who later killed herself in Indiana shared nearly 1,000 phone calls with the woman before the breakout, news outlets reported.
Authorities have said the two were in a romantic relationship and Singleton said at least some of the calls were sexual in nature.
The phone calls occurred after Casey White was transferred from the Lauderdale County Jail to a state prison where he was held until being returned to Lauderdale County before the escape, the sheriff said.
Casey White walked out of the county jail in handcuffs in April accompanied by Vicky White, the assistant corrections director, prompting an 11-day search for the pair. On the day of the escape, Vicky White, 56, told co-workers she was driving the inmate to a mental health evaluation.
The two were eventually discovered in Evansville, Indiana, where Casey White was captured. Vicky White shot herself in the head moments before the man was arrested, authorities said.
Casey White, who was jailed on a capital murder charge at the time of the escape and also serving time on other convictions, was charged with escape and murder in the woman’s death. The defense has filed documents suggesting Vicky White was in charge of the escape and Casey White’s mother has said he might not have known what was going on.

Which Vera Bradley crossbody is best?
If you’re tired of carrying a clutch and you find traditional purses uncomfortable, give a crossbody bag a try. They’re easier to shift around your body so you can always find your comfortable sweet spot. Many can also have their straps adjusted or removed to serve as purses or clutches.
The best Vera Bradley crossbody bag is the Vera Bradley Carson Crossbody Purse. It’s light and has just enough storage compartments to serve as the perfect everyday bag.
What to know before you buy a Vera Bradley crossbody
Size
Vera Bradley crossbody bags come in three sizes.
- Clutch bags are just that; clutches with a removable strap. They’re best used as wallets. They can also carry your phone and keys, but storage might be tight. They measure roughly 5 inches by 8 inches by 1 inch.
- Full bags are the standard. They’re large enough to fit all your essentials and have wide straps so the weight is evenly distributed. They measure roughly 10 inches by 12 inches by 4 inches.
- Mini bags are in between, useful for day trips and dates where you need a few items but not enough to justify carrying a full bag. They measure roughly 8 inches by 7 inches by 1 inch.
Storage compartments
Vera Bradley crossbody bags are worn for fashion, but they also need to hold your stuff. Check how many and what kinds of compartments are included in your prospective bag to be sure you can organize your things how you want.
What to look for in a quality Vera Bradley crossbody
Material
Most Vera Bradley bags use cotton, either in total or mixed with polyester lining. This makes them light and durable. Plus, they can be machine-washed. However, it also makes them poor choices when the weather report calls for rain. In these cases, consider a Vera Bradley polyester microfiber bag instead.
RFID protection
This means the bag has a lining that blocks the signals in your chipped cards. It prevents your information from being stolen by tech-savvy thieves, who could otherwise steal it without ever touching your bag.
Straps
Straps have several aspects to consider.
- Length: Most Vera Bradley crossbody straps are between 52-56 inches long.
- Adjustable length: That said, the best Vera Bradley straps also have adjustable lengths. You can’t make them as small as a standard purse’s strap, but you can adjust how high or low they rest on your body.
- Width: Vera Bradley strap widths vary based on bag size. Bigger bags have wider straps so heavier weights can be better distributed. The width is roughly half an inch at the thinnest and 1.5 inches at the widest.
- Removable: Sometimes, you don’t want to wear your bag as a crossbody. In these cases, look for Vera Bradley bags with removable straps. Otherwise, you’re stuck with wadding the strap up inside.
How much you can expect to spend on a Vera Bradley crossbody
They typically cost $50-$100, depending on the size and features included. For example, a small bag with multiple pockets and RFID protection will cost more than a larger bag with few pockets and no protection.
Vera Bradley crossbody FAQ
Why should I use a crossbody bag over other bags?
A. There are several benefits to wearing a crossbody bag rather than a traditional purse or clutch.
- Comfort: Crossbody bags have better weight distribution. Plus, you can shift the bag around your body until it falls comfortably.
- Everyday ease: Clutches and purses take up a hand to hold them or keep them steady. Crossbody bags don’t, making everyday tasks easier.
- Security: Clutches and purses can easily be ripped away from you. Crossbody bags take effort to steal.
- Style: Crossbody bags have a unique look so you can shake up your usual style.
Do Vera Bradley crossbodies use recycled materials?
A. Some use recycled cotton, though no bag uses entirely recycled cotton. Vera Bradley’s process starts by collecting excess raw and scrap processed cotton. It’s then cleaned and blended with freshly produced cotton before being spun into yarn. Not all designs use recycled cotton but those that do are clearly labeled if you want to prioritize it.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadiz Inc. (NASDAQ: CDZI/CDZIP) ("Cadiz", the "Company") announced today that on September 13, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California affirmed its tentative ruling in two cases filed against the US Department of the Interior ("Interior") and US Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") by the Center for Biological Diversity and National Parks Conservation Association ("plaintiffs") challenging the adequacy of the federal review of the two rights-of-ways issued to the Company in 2020 authorizing the conversion of the natural gas pipeline acquired from El Paso Natural Gas ("Northern Pipeline") to transport water over BLM-managed lands (approx. 58 miles of the 220 mile pipeline).
In its ruling, the Court granted Interior's motion for voluntary remand, sending the permits back to the BLM while the agency considers the scope of environmental review required to approve conversion of the pipeline to transport water over BLM lands. There is a status conference with the Court set for September 26, 2022.
The Executive Chair of the Company's Board of Directors, Susan Kennedy, made the following statement regarding the ruling:
Yesterday's ruling will have no impact on completion of the Cadiz Water Conservation and Storage Project and we do not expect additional environmental review by the BLM to cause significant delay. Cadiz' ownership of the pipeline is unaffected by the Court's ruling, and any additional environmental review required by the BLM to convert the pipeline to transport water will be done concurrently with the existing construction schedule.
Full environmental review of the Cadiz Water Conservation and Storage Project was completed in 2012 with a final ruling issued by the California Court of Appeal in 2016. California Courts have determined the Groundwater Management, Monitoring and Mitigation Plan adopted by San Bernardino County and reviewed under California Environmental Quality Act ensures that the Project will have no adverse environmental impacts. The Company has no concerns with additional environmental review and believes review can be conducted without impeding the construction timeline.
While permits for conversion of the Northern Pipeline are reviewed by federal agencies, the Company will continue with the conversion of the pipeline and development of the Project, including the construction of three new groundwater wells beginning in the 4th quarter of 2022. Construction of the three wells will start in early October and proceed through 1st quarter of 2023. With three new wells online, the Cadiz Ranch will have 10 wells in operation with total annual capacity of 25,000 acre-feet of water per year.
Founded in 1983, Cadiz Inc. (NASDAQ: CDZI) is a California business with more than 70 square miles of property, significant infrastructure, and water rights. The Company's mission is to deliver sustainable solutions to California's clean water challenges. The Cadiz Water Conservation and Storage Project is an innovative aquifer storage project that will create a new water supply for 400,000 people a year by conserving billions of gallons of renewable groundwater currently being lost to evaporation and salt contamination at Mojave Desert dry lakes. With state-of-the-art groundwater management technology, the Project will put conserved water to beneficial use and create a much-needed groundwater bank interconnecting California's existing water infrastructure. For more information, please visit the Company's website www.cadizinc.com or review the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT: This release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including statements related to the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the financing activities of the Company. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those reflected in the Company's forward-looking statements include the Company's ability to maximize value for Cadiz land and water resources, the Company's ability to obtain new financing as needed, the receipt of additional permits for the water project and other factors and considerations detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President Joe Biden made a quick jaunt to his home state on Tuesday evening to vote in Delaware’s primary, one of the last round of contests ahead of the November elections.
Biden is well known for taking any excuse to escape the White House for his family home, but most of his trips are during weekends. This time he and first lady Jill Biden were gone for only a few hours, which still required the usual assortment of security and motorcades, plus a flight on Air Force One.
The president didn’t say why he declined to cast a mail ballot, which is allowed in Delaware, a voting strategy that Democrats have emphasized to increase turnout.
Biden voted at the Laird Performing Arts Center at the Tatnall School before making a quick stop at his house in Wilmington. During the last election, when he was the Democratic presidential candidate, he cast an early ballot at the Carvel State Office Building in October 2020.
Presidents often look for opportunities to return to their home states to vote in person. In October 2020, Donald Trump voted early at his West Palm Beach, Florida, precinct before a full day of campaigning in key swing states for his failed reelection bid. Barack Obama did the same in Illinois during the 2014 midterms as he campaigned for the state’s incumbent governor and Democratic senator.
Rhode Island and New Hampshire also are holding primary contests on Tuesday.
The sole competitive statewide contest in heavily Democratic Delaware is for state auditor, where incumbent Kathleen McGuiness is running for reelection despite being convicted of conflict of interest and other misdemeanor charges in July. Under Delaware law, McGuiness — who is awaiting sentencing — was allowed to stay on the ballot.
The conviction, stemming from the hiring of McGuiness’s daughter in her office, made the auditor the first statewide elected official in Delaware’s history to be convicted of criminal charges while in office. She is being challenged by Lydia York, a lawyer who has the backing of the state’s Democratic Party and would be the first Black person in that role if elected.
___
This story has been corrected to show that McGuiness is the first statewide elected official in Delaware’s history to be convicted of criminal charges while in office, not first ever convicted.

Free, Virtual Event is the Biggest Pre-Health Event in the World
BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mappd has opened registration for MappdCon, enabling premedical and pre-health professionals to attend a free virtual conference with some of the world's foremost pre-health experts.
This is third year of this annual event. MappdCon is a continuation of the event formerly known as National Premed Day. With 10,000+ Premeds in attendance in 2020, its inaugural year, National Premed Day became the biggest premedical student event in the world. In 2021, the event expanded to include a pre-physician assistant track. In 2022, the event was renamed MappdCon and will offer workshops aimed at helping a wide range of future health professionals.
"MappdCon is something I've wanted to do for a long time," said Dr. Ryan Gray, Mappd CEO and co-founder. "I started National Premed Day to bring the best minds in the premed world together to help students navigate their journey to med school. I'm excited to expand this free event to help not only future physicians but also physician assistants and other future health professionals."
"Only about half of medical school applicants are accepted into med school," explained Rachel Grubbs, Mappd COO and Co-founder. "Acceptance rates are similar for other pre-health professional programs. In many cases, the issue is not a lack of talent but rather a lack of knowledge of the steps required before applying. I hope to help all future health care professionals, regardless of background or economic situation, access clear information about the road to med school."
Premedical students, as well as their families and advisors, are all welcome to attend. Registration is open now at MappdCon.com
Company information. Mappd, LLC was founded in 2019 by Ryan Gray, MD, and Rachel Grubbs. Gray is a physician by training and retired Air Force Flight Surgeon. He created the award-winning Premed Years Podcast with over 5 million downloads. Grubbs has been a professional advisor of test preparation and higher education for more than 20 years.

Freshman midfielder Marko Borkovic and senior goalie Keagan McLaughlin were named Co-Offensive and Co-Defensive Players of the Week Tuesday, according to a release.
Borkovic scored his team-leading third goal Friday against then-No.12 Butler in a 2-0 shutout, thanks to four saves from McLaughlin.
Borkovic said he gained confidence after scoring his debut goal in his first match against Cal Poly Aug. 28.
“I take every game just game by game,” Borkovic said after the win against Butler. “I don’t think about the future. I just try and make an impact on the game ahead and have managed to do that so far. I’m going to carry on trying to do that.”
McLaughlin recorded four straight shutouts and was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row. However, the Zanesville, Ohio, native did not see any action Tuesday at No. 14 Akron.
McLaughlin said he attributes the honor to his team’s overall defense.
“For me, it’s more of, like, a team honor,” McLaughlin said. “I think the back lines and the whole team, obviously, overall played extremely well.”
Borkovic, McLaughlin and the No. 22-ranked Buckeyes (4-0-2) take on the No. 15-ranked Indiana Hoosiers (2-1-1) at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium Sunday at 2 p.m.

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), a leading retail-focused cannabis company with bricks-and-mortar as well as global e-commerce assets, filed its financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2022 ended July 31, 2022, the highlights of which are included in this news release. The full set of condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022 (the "Financial Statements") and accompanying management's discussion and analysis can be accessed by visiting High Tide's website at www.hightideinc.com, its profile pages on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
Third Quarter 2022 – Financial Highlights:
- Revenue increased to $95.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $48.1 million in the same quarter last year, representing an increase of 98%. Sequentially, revenue increased by 18% compared to the second quarter of 2022
- Gross profit increased by 54% to $25.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $16.7 million in the same quarter last year
- Gross profit margin in the three months ended July 31, 2022, was 27% compared to 35% in the same quarter last year. The shift in the gross margin was due to a change in retail pricing strategy to a discount club model. Sequentially, the gross profit margin was relatively on par with the previous quarter, which closed at 28%
- Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended July 31, 2022, was $4.2 million compared to $1.5 million for the same quarter last year, representing an increase of 176%. Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 77% compared to $2.4 million during the previous quarter
- Cabanalytics data sales were $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $3.8 million for the same quarter last year. Sequentially, Cabanalytics data sales increased by 7% compared to $5.1 million the previous quarter
- For locations operational throughout the third fiscal quarter of 2022 and 2021, same-store sales increased by 46%. Sequentially, same-store sales increased by 18% compared to the previous quarter
- Geographically, in the third quarter of 2022, $80.7 million of revenue was earned in Canada, $12.7 million in the United States and $1.9 million internationally. Compared to the third quarter of 2021, revenue increased by 110% in Canada, 33% in the United States, and 1,486% internationally
- Cash on hand as of July 31, 2022, totalled $18.3 million compared to $14.0 million as of October 31, 2021
"Our team continues to deliver strong execution, and this shows in our third quarter results, which feature quarterly revenue of $95 million, representing 98% annual growth, as well as a 176% annual increase in Adjusted EBITDA, making this the tenth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA for High Tide. These impressive numbers come despite hyper-competitive cannabis retail markets across Canada and a global softening of e-commerce sales as pandemic-related restrictions are continuing to be lifted. High Tide now sits within striking distance of having the highest revenue of any cannabis company reporting in Canadian dollars. Our same-store sales have continued their upward trajectory, increasing by 46% year over year and 18% sequentially. This growth continues to be propelled by our innovative discount club model, which is specifically tailored to our Company's unique position in the market through our diversified ecosystem. I am also very happy to report that our Cabana Club loyalty program, which is the largest of its kind in Canada, now sits at over 750,000 members, which represents more than 12% of the cannabis users across the country, excluding Quebec per Statistics Canada data. This membership number was our initial goal when we launched our discount club model last October, and we have now met our target in under a year. We look forward to rolling out our Cabana Elite program in the near term. This program will let members access additional benefits for a small recurring fee, while the existing Cabana Club program will remain free of charge," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.
"Our rapidly increasing sales and focus on cost control led us to generating $2.3 million in cash flow from operations before non-cash working capital for the quarter ended July 31, 2022, which was up meaningfully versus the prior quarter and the third fiscal quarter of 2021. Our selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") relative to our peer group has always been conservative; however, we remain focused on further controlling our costs to drive even more cash flows for our shareholders. On the mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") front, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we added nine stores from Choom Holdings Inc. ("Choom"), and currently have many other prospects which are both accretive and strategic, that we are in the process of analyzing.
"I have always strived to underpromise and over-deliver. This is a value that I consistently instill in our team. We set targets and are held accountable as a team if we do not meet them. I am happy to report that based on our latest financial results, we are consistently outperforming our targets as communicated to the market. One example of this is the fact that we were able to improve our balance sheet with a commitment letter from Connect First Credit Union Ltd. ("connectFirst"), despite the process taking longer than we had initially anticipated. This facility, which is expected to close imminently, will inject additional fuel to power our growth. As of August 2022, our annualized revenue run rate sits at over $400 million, and our Adjusted EBITDA is clearly on the right trajectory. Although, in our view, these strong fundamentals are not currently reflected in our market capitalization, myself and our team maintain a laser-like focus on the continued improvement of our fundamentals, as that is what we can control. We believe that sooner or later, the market sentiment will catch up to our business fundamentals. I would like to give a huge thanks to our customers, team, investors, and Board of Directors for their continued support." added Mr. Grover.

Selected financial information for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022:
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars)
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss:
Outlook
High Tide continues to be the largest non-franchised cannabis bricks-and-mortar retail chain in Canada, with 140 locations across the country and expects to reach its target of 150 by the end of the calendar year. The Company's launch of its innovative discount club model near the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 has driven remarkable same-store sales increases. These gains have been magnified by organic store openings and M&A activity leading to a sustained upward trend in its market share across the country. The Company currently has three stores in the province of British Columbia, and a clear path to reach eight, the maximum allowable today by any one entity, in the near term, via both organic openings as well as accretive M&A.
As previously stated, the Company is currently on an annual revenue run rate exceeding $400 million which puts it within striking distance of being the top revenue-generating cannabis company which reports in Canadian dollars. Canna Cabana possesses the largest loyalty program in Canadian cannabis with over 750,000 members, which represents over 90% of daily transactions. The Company anticipates launching a paid version of the Cabana Club, Cabana Elite membership program, by the end of the calendar year, which should monetize this base even further.
The Company first launched its white label offerings in June 2022 in the province of Saskatchewan, under the name Cabana Cannabis Co., and expects to launch in Ontario beginning next week. Over the long-term, the Company expects these offerings to reach 25% of total sales, which should provide a meaningful boost to profitability. The Company has many benefits from its diversified ecosystem, one of which is the ability to bring its existing international CBD brands (NuLeaf Naturals, FABCBD and Blessed CBD) to Canada and sell them in its nationally-leading store network. The Company anticipates entering into new markets and distribution platforms for its ancillary cannabis business lines in fiscal 2023.

Pursuant to the Company's at-the-market equity offering program (the "ATM Program") that allows the Company to issue up to $40 million (or the equivalent in U.S. dollars) of common shares ("Common Shares") from treasury to the public from time to time, at the Company's discretion and subject to regulatory requirements, as required pursuant to National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the Company announces that, during its third quarter ended July 31, 2022, the Company has issued an aggregate of 34,900 Common Shares over the TSXV and Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $0.1 million (compared to the three and six months ended April 30, 2022: 1,336,313 Common Shares; $7.4 million; and three months ended January 31, 2022: 130,197 Common Shares; $0.8 million).
Pursuant to an equity distribution agreement dated December 3, 2021, entered into among the Company, ATB Capital Markets Inc. and ATB Capital Markets USA Inc.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the ATM Program, if any, and at the discretion of the Company, to fund strategic initiatives it is currently developing, to support the growth and development of the Company's existing operations, funding future acquisitions as well as working capital and general corporate purposes.
Common Shares issued pursuant to the ATM Program will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 3, 2021 (the "Canadian Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's final base shelf prospectus dated April 22, 2021, filed with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Canadian Shelf Prospectus") and pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 3, 2021 (the "U.S. Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's U.S. base prospectus dated September 17, 2021 (the "U.S. Base Prospectus") included in its registration statement on Form F-10 (the "Registration Statement") and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

OMNIBUS PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
On April 19, 2022, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") approved the 2022 equity incentive plan of the Company (the "Omnibus Plan"), which was effective June 2, 2022, upon the Company receiving disinterested shareholder approval at the annual general meeting and special meeting of shareholders of the Company (the "Effective Date"), pursuant to which it is able to issue share-based and cash-based long-term incentives to eligible participants. A copy of the Omnibus Plan is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
The Omnibus Plan replaced the former stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") and restricted share unit plan (the "RSU Plan") of the Company (together, the "Predecessor Plans").
All directors, officers, employees, management company employees and consultants of the Company and/or its affiliates ("Participants") are eligible to receive Awards (as defined below) under the Omnibus Plan, subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan. Awards include stock options ("Options"), stock appreciation rights ("Stock Appreciation Rights"), restricted share awards ("Restricted Share Awards"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance shares ("Performance Shares"), performance units ("Performance Units"), cash-based awards ("Cash-Based Awards") and other share-based awards (collectively, the "Awards"), under the Omnibus Plan.
Purpose of the Omnibus Plan
The Omnibus Plan serves several purposes for the Company. One purpose is to advance the interests of the Company by developing the interests of Participants in the growth and development of the Company by providing such persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. All Participants are considered eligible to be selected to receive an Award under the Omnibus Plan. Another purpose is to attract and retain key talent and valuable personnel, who are necessary to the Company's success and reputation, with a competitive compensation mechanism. Finally, the Omnibus Plan will align the interests of Participants with those of shareholders by devising a compensation mechanism which encourages the prudent maximization of distributions to shareholders and long-term growth.
The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board, and/or if applicable, a committee of the Board.
Omnibus Plan Maximum, Limits and Vesting Restrictions
The maximum number of Common Shares available and reserved for issuance, at any time, under the Omnibus Plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements adopted by the Company, including the Predecessor Plans, has been fixed at 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the Effective Date, namely 12,617,734 Common Shares.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive. Readers are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Such information, although considered reasonable by management at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FUTURE ORIENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This press release may contain future-oriented financial information ("FOFI") within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, about prospective results of operations, financial position or cash flows, based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action, which FOFI is not presented in the format of a historical balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company's activities and results and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including the assumptions discussed under the heading above entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and assumptions with respect to the costs and expenditures to be incurred by the Company, capital expenditures and operating costs, taxation rates for the Company and general and administrative expenses. Management does not have, or may not have had at the relevant date, firm commitments for all of the costs, expenditures, prices or other financial assumptions which may have been used to prepare the FOFI or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects of all of those costs, expenditures, prices and operating results are not, or may not have been at the relevant date of the FOFI, objectively determinable.
Importantly, the FOFI contained in this press release are, or may be, based upon certain additional assumptions that management believes to be reasonable based on the information currently available to management, including, but not limited to, assumptions about: (i) the future pricing for the Company's products, (ii) the future market demand and trends within the jurisdictions in which the Company may from time to time conduct the Company's business, (iii) the Company's ongoing inventory levels, and operating cost estimates, (iv) the Company obtaining the proposed credit facilities, (v) the Company completing the ATM Program, and (vi) the Company's unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022. The FOFI or financial outlook contained in this press release do not purport to present the Company's financial condition in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in any such document, and such variation may be material (including due to the occurrence of unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the preparation of the FOFI). The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments as at the applicable date. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed under the heading above entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's public disclosures, FOFI or financial outlook within this press release should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the FOFI, or financial outlook contained in this press release. Except as required by Canadian securities laws, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update such FOFI.

Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin introduced a resolution Wednesday authorizing the future location of the National Memorial to Fallen Journalists in Washington D.C.
The memorial would be located between the Voice of America building and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, according to the bill Cardin introduced alongside Republican Sen. Rob Portman from Ohio.
“The National Memorial to Fallen Journalists will honor the lives of those who died reporting the news and supporting the media on behalf of the American people,” Cardin said in a statement. “Transparency and unbiased journalism are essential in a democracy and this new memorial will be a steadfast symbol of the sacrifice of those who take on this responsibility. The men and women who personify the first amendment rights granted to every citizen have made our nation stronger.”
The bill’s introduction comes a week after Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German, a veteran investigative journalist known for uncovering misconduct and wrongdoing by politicians, casino magnates and mobsters, was killed at his home. Investigators have arrested a suspect, an elected official whom German was reporting on.
The project was authorized by Congress in 2020. It will be funded by donors of the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation. The memorial will be constructed and maintained by the National Park Service or General Services Administration, according to Cardin’s office.
Maryland Policy & Politics
While designs have not been finalized yet, the foundation is working with architecture critic Paul Goldberger to create a process for designing the memorial and selecting an architect, according to its website. It’s aiming to have a design ready by the end of the year. The foundation estimates the project may cost up to $50 million.
The effort to create the memorial was started by former California representative and Tribune Publishing Company Chairman David Dreier to mark the one-year anniversary of the shooting at The Capital newsroom, a Tribune paper.
On June 28, 2018, five people — Gerald Fischman, John McNamara, Wendi Winters, Rebecca Smith and Rob Hiaasen — were killed by a man who entered the newsroom with a shotgun. The massacre was the deadliest assault against journalists in United States history.
Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen, an original co-sponsor of the bill, said the memorial would honor reporters, photographers and other news industry workers who died doing their jobs overseas, across the country and here in Maryland.
“This memorial will honor the lives of fallen journalists around the world and serve as a tribute to those who were killed here in Maryland at the Capital Gazette shooting — Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and Wendi Winters,” he said in a statement.
In a statement, Portman said he was pleased to join Cardin in introducing the bill.
“This memorial will serve as a fitting tribute to the men and women in journalism who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of the First Amendment,” Portman said.

WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWTI) — A New York State Trooper was arrested following an incident at Walmart in Watertown.
According to State Police, 36-year-old Errol Oskay of Sackets Harbor was arrested on charges related to falsifying business records on September 13.
State Police alleged that Oskay purchased a child’s riding toy at Walmart the previous day and returned the item on September 13. However, Walmart asset protection discovered that the box contained an older, much-weathered model of the riding toy.
Oskay was arrested after NYSP was notified on one count of Falsifying Business Records, a class “E” Felony, and one count of Petit Larceny, a class “A” Misdemeanor.
NYSP confirmed that Oskay is a New York State Trooper, but was off-duty at the time of the incident. He has been suspended while an internal investigation is being conducted.
Oskay was also issued tickets and is set to appear in the Town of Watertown Court on October 3, 2022.

Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Danaher Corporation's ("Danaher" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to:
- with respect to core sales and related sales measures, identify underlying growth trends in our business and compare our sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.
While we expect overall demand for the Company's COVID-19 related products to moderate as and to the extent the pandemic subsides, as the pandemic evolves toward endemic status we believe a level of demand for the Company's products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics (including initiatives that seek to prevent or mitigate similar, future pandemics) and COVID-19 testing will continue. However, on a relative basis, we expect the level of ongoing demand for products supporting COVID-19 testing will be subject to more fluctuations in demand than the level of demand for products supporting COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics. Therefore, beginning with the first quarter of 2022, in addition to disclosing core revenue growth, we disclose "base business core sales growth" on a basis that excludes revenues related to COVID-19 testing and includes revenues from products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics. We believe this additional measure provides useful information to investors by facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our financial performance and identifying underlying growth trends in the Company's business that otherwise may be obscured by fluctuations in demand for COVID-19 testing as a result of the pandemic.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure the Company's operating and financial performance, and uses core sales in the Company's executive compensation program.
- With respect to core sales related measures, (1) we exclude the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and (2) we exclude the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
With respect to forecasted core sales related measures, we do not reconcile these measures to the comparable GAAP measure because of the inherent difficulty in predicting and estimating the future impact and timing of currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines, which would be reflected in any forecasted GAAP revenue.

(KTLA) — Popular ’90s R&B singer Jesse Powell has died. He was 51.
The “All I Need” crooner died “peacefully” in his Los Angeles home, according to his sister Tamara Powell, who made the announcement via Instagram on Tuesday evening.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, and uncle Jesse Powell. Jesse loved music, and he especially loved his fans who supported him throughout his career,” she wrote in the post. “We want you all to know that you meant the world to him.”
She also asked for privacy during this time for her and her family so they can “mourn this tremendous loss and celebrate his everlasting legacy.”
The cause of death was not mentioned in the post.
Tamara also posted a video to Instagram showing her brother performing.
“That voice!” she wrote in the caption. “Aside from being one of the best R&B male vocalists out there, you were the best big brother ever. I loved you so much. I’m thankful that we were so close; a whole mess all the time.”
“We absolutely adored you ‘Jet’ and our family will not be the same without you,” she continued to say.
The Grammy-nominated singer was born in Gary, Indiana.
He became a soul sensation in his 20s after meeting producer Carl Roland. His big break came when record executive Louis Silas Jr. heard him singing at an artist showcase and signed him right afterward, according to AllMusic.
He was best known for his hit “You,” which peaked at No. 2 on the R&B Billboard charts and No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. His second album, “‘Bout It,” was certified gold.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains statements which constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of RIV Capital and its portfolio companies with respect to future business activities and operating performance. Forward-looking information is often identified by the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "will", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect" or similar expressions and includes information regarding the Company's strategies, objectives, goals, opportunities and plans, including in respect of future growth and creating shareholder value ; and expectations for other economic, business, and/or competitive factors.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical fact but instead reflects management's expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although RIV Capital believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of RIV Capital or its portfolio companies.
Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: the timing and likelihood for receipt of all required regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of other conditions to closing, in respect of the Etain Acquisition; the Company's ability to execute its go-forward strategy; stock market volatility; changes in the business activities, focus and plans of the Company, Etain and the Company's investees and the timing associated therewith; the timing of any changes to federal laws in the U.S. to allow for the general cultivation, distribution, and possession of cannabis; regulatory and licensing risks; changes in cannabis industry growth and trends; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; litigation risks; the global regulatory landscape and enforcement related to cannabis, including political risks and risks relating to regulatory change; risks relating to anti-money laundering laws; compliance with extensive government regulation, including RIV Capital's interpretation of such regulation; public opinion and perception of the cannabis industry; divestiture risks; and the risk factors set out in RIV Capital's management's discussion and analysis dated August 29, 2022 and annual information form dated June 10, 2022 filed with the Canadian securities regulators and available on RIV Capital's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Company has invested in and acquired, and intends to in the future invest in and/or acquire, companies that are involved in the manufacture, possession, use, sale, and distribution of cannabis in the recreational and medicinal cannabis marketplace in the United States. Local state laws where such operations occur permit such activities, however, investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable U.S. federal money laundering legislation.
While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with recreational and medicinal cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of the Company and any proceedings brought against the Company thereunder may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although RIV Capital has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. RIV Capital does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information except as otherwise required by applicable law.
