The future of affirmative action in higher education hangs in the balance as the Supreme Court on Monday hears arguments over race-conscious admissions policies at two prestigious universities.
Harvard University and the University of North Carolina (UNC) will be defending their use of race — as one of many admissions criteria — to attain the educational benefits of a diverse student body.
Their conservative-backed challengers, Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), contend that the schools’ approach violates constitutional protections and federal law and want the court to prohibit admissions offices from considering an applicant’s race at all.
Ishan Bhabha, a partner at the law firm Jenner & Block who filed an amicus brief on behalf of Ivy League and other elite schools, said that if the Supreme Court takes that dramatic step, the repercussions for higher education would be severe.
“If you don’t have a series of divergent viewpoints … then one of the most important priorities of institutions of higher education — which is to forward knowledge, to ask difficult questions, to explore unknown concepts and have one idea clash against another to try and figure out which one is correct or which one is defensible — that is significantly hampered,” said Bhabha, who co-leads his firm’s initiative on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
With the case coming on the heels of a Supreme Court term that saw conservative justices overturn landmark rulings including Roe v. Wade, many legal experts believe that longstanding affirmative action precedent is now on the chopping block.
“This is a court that I think has a solid six-justice majority that sees racial labeling or racial tagging, for any purpose whatsoever, as a constitutional evil,” said Steve Schwinn, a law professor at the University of Illinois Chicago.
The challengers are asking the 6-3 conservative majority court to overrule its landmark 2003 decision in Grutter v. Bollinger, which permits colleges to diversify their student populations by using race as one part of a holistic assessment of individual applicants.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, one of the court’s more liberal members and the nation’s first female African American justice, is recused from the Harvard case because of her recent role as a member of Harvard’s board of overseers.
Among SFFA’s arguments in suing the schools is its claim that they failed to pursue diversity goals through available race-neutral alternatives, as required under Supreme Court precedent. The schools, for their part, have countered that there are no workable alternatives available.
SFFA suffered defeat in the lower courts, where judges rejected its arguments based on the 5-4 ruling in Grutter, prompting their appeal to the Supreme Court.
In court papers, SFFA has urged the justices to find that Grutter defies the constitutional and statutory guarantee of equal treatment under the law. The use of race in admissions decisions, they say, has led college admissions officers to engage in “crude stereotyping.”
“Applicants who check the box for African American at Harvard and UNC, for example, receive a preference because of their race whether they grew up in poverty and went to failing schools, have parents who were multimillionaire executives, spent their formative years in Europe, are the direct descendants of slaves, or are second-generation immigrants from Africa,” SFFA wrote, urging the justices to upend decades of affirmative action precedent.
In its suit against Harvard, SFFA goes a step further, alleging that the school’s admissions policy discriminates against Asian Americans. The group argued that Harvard’s subjective “personal ratings” scores, which tended to reflect cultural stereotypes, had made it harder for Asian Americans to be admitted compared to applicants of other races, regardless of personal circumstances.
Several Harvard students with Asian American backgrounds who spoke to The Hill pushed back forcefully against how SFFA had framed their school’s admission policy. They are part of a diverse group of thousands of current Harvard students and alumni whose views are reflected in an amicus brief filed by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
Among them is Angie Shin, a Korean American who entered Harvard after graduating from an underfunded Los Angeles County public high school, which she described as having a student body of largely low-income, immigrant students from Black, Latino, and Asian backgrounds, where only around half graduated on time and relatively few went on to obtain college degrees.In this environment, Shin said, the burden fell to her “to get literate” about what higher education opportunities were available.
“For instance, it took me so many years of Googling around on the internet and trying to figure out what scholarships were, how they worked and why they were taking applications so early,” she said.
As the more than 100 friend-of-court briefs filed in the case illustrate, the potential stakes of the dispute extend beyond academia.
According to Bhabha, of the firm Jenner & Block, if the court overrules Grutter, it could represent the first step in a coordinated effort to prohibit the consideration of race in other dimensions of American life.
“If Grutter is overturned, it will light a fire to systematically remove DEI initiatives from all aspects of society,” Bhabha said. | https://cw39.com/news/nationworld/supreme-court-to-weigh-future-of-affirmative-action-in-college-admissions/ | 2022-10-30T22:31:09 | en | 0.962332 |

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service RENO NV
203 PM PDT Sun Oct 30 2022
...EARLY SEASON STORM WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS, SNOWFALL, AND MUCH
COLDER TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK...
* STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS: Winds will increase Tuesday ahead of an
approaching cold front. Gusts of 35 to 45 mph are likely in the
valleys with gusts up to 55 mph in wind prone locations. Sierra
ridgetop gusts may reach 100 mph. Impacts from winds include
road travel restrictions due to cross winds especially for high
profile vehicles, aviation turbulence and shear, hazardous
boating conditions, and patchy blowing dust downwind of dry lake
beds. Wind impacts will diminish behind the cold front Tuesday
night.
* SNOW IMPACTS: The first impactful snowfall of the season looks
to occur with this storm. Early in the day Tuesday,
precipitation will likely start out as snow above 6,000 feet as
the main band pushes into northwestern Nevada. Rain or a
rain/snow mix will be possible below this elevation. While snow
levels may rise close to 7,000 feet Tuesday afternoon, they will
quickly fall to valley floors by Wednesday morning. Snow
showers may continue to impact roadways through early Thursday
morning. Be prepared for slow downs and delays with slick roads.
* MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES: The cold airmass will bring the
season's coldest temperatures so far. High temperatures will
plummet some 15-20 degrees below average on Wednesday and
Thursday - struggling to get out of the 30s in the Sierra
valleys and 40s across western Nevada. Brisk, northerly breezes
will keep it feeling cold through Thursday afternoon. Hard
freezes are likely, particularly Thursday and Friday mornings as
skies clear out. Teens and single digits will be common in
Sierra valleys while colder spots like Bridgeport and Bodie may
see sub-zero temperatures. Finish up winter protections for
exposed irrigation equipment if you have not done so already.

HOUSTON (AP) — Astros catcher Martín Maldonado was forced to switch bats for Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night after it was determined the Albert Pujols model he swung in the opener was no longer allowed in the majors.
“A rule is a rule, and I have to follow the rule,” he said. “That’s why I didn’t use it today.”
Maldonado was 0 for 3 in a 5-2 win over the Phillies that evened the Series at one game apiece.
In the opener, Maldonado went 1 for 3 with an RBI single in a 6-5 loss in 10 innings.
The bat he used in Game 1 — a Marucci AP5 — was a Pujols model. In 2010, Major League Baseball changed bat specifications for safety purposes, trimming the diameter of the barrel from the long-standing 2.75 inches to 2.61 inches.
The move to slightly slimmed-down bats was designed to reduce the risk of them breaking into multiple pieces. As part of the move, players already in the majors and using bigger bats could continue to swing them.
Maldonado made his big league debut in 2011 and therefore couldn’t use any of the bats that had been grandfathered in.
“I got it yesterday,” he said. “I use the same model, but it is modified because of my service time. It’s a rule, and I follow the rule, so I didn’t use it.”
MLB didn’t find Maldonado had any competitive advantage using the Pujols model, and it appeared the mix-up was an honest mistake. Maldonado batted .186 this season and is a career .209 hitter in 12 seasons.
Pujols finished his 22-year career this season with 703 home runs, fourth on the all-time list.
Bat maker Jack Marucci said the AP5 was “one of the original models I worked with Albert to design.”
“He was the first player to give me a bat to replicate,” Marucci texted to The Associated Press.
It wasn’t the first time Maldonado had used the bat.
“I used it back when I played with him, but he was my teammate, maybe three at-bats,” he said of when he and Pujols were teammates with the Angels in 2017 and part of the 2018 season. | https://cw39.com/sports/astros/astros-maldonado-forced-to-change-bats-from-outdated-model/ | 2022-10-30T22:31:22 | en | 0.982457 |

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — At least five tornadoes have been confirmed after a severe weather outbreak Saturday along the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast.
No injuries or deaths were reported as damage surveys continued.
The National Weather Service said Sunday that three tornadoes touched down in Jackson County, Mississippi, each with top winds estimated between 100 mph and 110 mph (160 kph and 175 kph).
In Alabama, two weak tornadoes with winds of 72 mph (115 kph) or less were confirmed, one in Theodore and one south of downtown Mobile. Surveyors were still looking Sunday for evidence of tornadoes in Alabama, where multiple funnel clouds were captured on video or in pictures.
A Mississippi twister in Vancleave had a path of 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) damaging trees, a home and some outbuildings. A 2.8-mile (4.5-kilometer) tornado damaged trees in Moss Point before crossing a marsh and Interstate 10. A 1-mile (1.6-kilometer) tornado damaged light poles at a park in Big Point.
Surveyors concluded that damage to Gautier Middle School was caused by straight line winds. Wind damage was also reported farther west in Pass Christian and Diamondhead, Mississippi.
Although tornadoes are rare in most of the United States in late fall and winter, they are more common along the Gulf Coast in those seasons, when cold fronts collide with warm Gulf of Mexico air.
In Alabama, multiple people made images of a funnel cloud crossing a highway that runs across Mobile Bay between Mobile and Spanish Fort. No damage was reported there.
Residents also reported wind damage in parts of western Mobile and in Theodore, southwest of the city. The Theodore tornado tore the roof off at least one house, blowing out windows. Other residents lost fences, trampolines and above-ground swimming pools.
“Opened this front door and the tree tops over there just parted and you could see a funnel not touching the ground, come through I slammed the door got in the hallway with the kids, and in a matter of 30 seconds the ramming and banging and it was gone,” homeowner Matthew McGilberry of Theodore told WKRG-TV on Sunday.
East across Mobile Bay, thousands were without power late Saturday around Magnolia Springs and Bon Secour. However utilities reported that almost all the outages had been restored by Sunday. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/At-least-5-tornadoes-confirmed-in-Gulf-Coast-17545486.php | 2022-10-30T22:31:35 | en | 0.971293 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk on Sunday tweeted a link to an unfounded rumor about the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, just days after Musk's purchase of Twitter fueled concerns that the social media platform would no longer seek to limit misinformation and hate speech.
Musk's tweet, which he later deleted, linked to an article by a fringe website, the Santa Monica Observer, an outlet that has previously asserted that Hillary Clinton died on Sept. 11 and was replaced with a body double.
In this case, the article recycled a baseless claim that the personal life of Paul Pelosi, the speaker's husband, somehow played a role in an intruder's attack last week in the couple's San Francisco home, even though there is no evidence to support that claim.
Musk did so in reply to a tweet by Hillary Clinton. Her tweet had criticized Republicans for generally spreading “hate and deranged conspiracy theories” and said, “It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result.”
In response to Clinton's tweet, Musk provided a link to the Santa Monica Observer article and added, “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye."
The Los Angeles Times, the dominant news organization in the Southern California area where the Observer is located, has said the Observer is “notorious for fake news.”
Police in San Francisco have said the suspect in last week's attack, identified as David DePape, 42, broke into the Pelosi family’s Pacific Heights home early Friday and confronted Paul Pelosi, demanding to know, as the AP has reported, “Where is Nancy?”
The two men struggled over a hammer before officers responding to a 911 call to the home saw DePape strike Paul Pelosi at least once, police said. DePape was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, elder abuse and burglary. Prosecutors plan to file charges on Monday and expect his arraignment on Tuesday.
Police say the attack was “intentional” and not random but have not stated publicly what they consider to be the motive.
The exchange between Musk and Clinton occurred a day after Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of safety and integrity, tweeted that the company's policies toward “slurs” and “hateful conduct” were still in place.
“Bottom line up front: Twitter’s policies haven’t changed. Hateful conduct has no place here,” Roth wrote.
Shortly after Musk took control of Twitter, some accounts on the platform began tweeting messages ranging from racist slurs to political misinformation, such as “Trump won,” to see what Twitter will now tolerate.
Musk himself said Friday that he would form a “content moderation council” for Twitter and promised advertisers that the website would not devolve into a “free for all hellscape.” Musk has also described himself as a “free speech absolutist.”
But at least one major advertiser, General Motors, has said it will suspend advertising on Twitter while it monitors the direction of the platform under Musk.
Also on Sunday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, said on NBC's “Meet the Press” that she didn't trust Musk to run Twitter.
Referring to antisemitic attacks and the QAnon conspiracy theory that were advanced online by DePape, the suspect in the attack, Klobuchar said, “I think you have to have some content moderation.”
“If Elon Musk has said now that he’s going to start a content moderation board," the senator said, "that was one good sign. But I continue to be concerned about that. I just don’t think people should be making money off of passing on this stuff that’s a bunch of lies.” | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Musk-tweets-link-to-an-unfounded-conspiracy-theory-17545358.php | 2022-10-30T22:32:02 | en | 0.972287 |

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A University of Kentucky student who was studying in South Korea was one of more than 150 people killed when a huge Halloween party crowd surged into a narrow alley in a nightlife district in Seoul, the school said Sunday.
Anne Gieske, a nursing student from northern Kentucky, died in the crush of people in the Itaewon area of Seoul on Saturday night, University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto said in a statement posted on the school's website.
Gieske was studying in South Korea this semester with an education abroad program, Capilouto said. The university also has two other students and a faculty member there, but they have been contacted and they are safe, he said.
“We have been in contact with Anne’s family and will provide whatever support we can — now and in the days ahead — as they cope with this indescribable loss,” the statement said.
The university is located in Lexington, Kentucky. The school has offered online and phone resources for students who are grieving, including the services of a mental health clinician. The university has nearly 80 students from South Korea, the statement said.
"As a community, it is a sacred responsibility we must keep — to be there for each other in moments of sheer joy and in those of deepest sadness," Capilouto said. “That is what compassionate communities do.”
It remained unclear what led the crowd to surge into the downhill alley, and authorities promised a thorough investigation. Witnesses said people fell on each other “like dominoes,” and some victims were bleeding from their noses and mouths while being given CPR. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/University-of-Kentucky-student-dies-in-Seoul-17545502.php | 2022-10-30T22:32:08 | en | 0.984769 |

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Fabian Zetterland scored late in the first, Nico Hischier and defenseman Ryan Graves scored 33 seconds apart early in the second and Vitek Vanecek made 19 saves for the surging New Jersey Devils, who routed the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-1 on Sunday.
Defensemen John Marino and Jonas Siegenthaler, Jesper Bratt and Miles Wood also scored for New Jersey and Vanecek won his third straight.
The Devils bombarded the Blue Jackets with 52 shots and won for the sixth time in seven games after losing twice to start the season. Columbus lost its third in a row.
Zetterlund opened the scoring with about seven minutes left in the first with a rocket past Columbus goalie Elvis Merzlikins for his first of the season. Hischier drew the assist.
The Devils dominated the first, outshooting the visitors 20-5. Hischier made it 2-0 at 3:22 of the second with an unassisted goal to give him four goals and five assists in eight games this season.
Defenseman Ryan Graves netted his first of the season at 3:55, with assists from Jack Hughes and Bratt.
It extended Bratt’s season-opening points streak to nine games. And Hughes, who scored the lone goal in Friday’s 1-0 home win over the Colorado Avalanche, now has three goals and five assists.
Blue Jackets forward Yegor Chinakhov broke through at 6:39 of the second period with his second goal of the season.
Marino put the home team ahead 4-1 with an unassisted goal — his first of the season and first with New Jersey — with about 20 seconds left in the second. In the third period, Siegenthaler made it 5-1, Bratt increased the lead to 6-1 and Wood completed the scoring.
Columbus is 3-7-0 to start the season, last in the Metropolitan Division.
The crowd at Prudential Center booed Columbus' Johnny Gaudreau, a New Jersey native who spurned the Devils as a free agent last summer, every time he touched the puck.
HONORING A LEGEND
Before the game, the Devils honored former defenseman Ken Daneyko for his four decades with the franchise as a three-time Stanley Cup winner and longtime broadcaster. Daneyko dropped the ceremonial puck.
NOTES
The Devils haven’t allowed more than 25 shots in a game this season.

Devils: Visit Vancouver on Tuesday to start a three-game trip through western Canada.

With Veteran’s Day just around the corner, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program is honoring six local Veterans at its ‘Star Spangled Celebration’ on Friday, Nov. 4, at the Maysville Community and Technical College.
This will be RSVP’s 17th annual benefit concert featuring local talents like the Mason County High School Jazz Band and special guests such as Miss Kentucky 2022 will perform.
Retired Master Petty Officer of the United State Navy, James H. Sandlin, will be one of the local Veterans to be honored at the event.
Sandlin said he was born in Dayton, Ohio on January 21, 1954. He hails from Aberdeen and graduated from Manchester High School in 1972 then joined the U.S. Navy on October 18, 1972. He served a total of 22 and one-half years in the U.S. Navy retiring in August 1999.
“I worked in cryptology (the study of codes and how to write and solve them) with top-level clearance. I was on two ships in 22 and a half years, most of my duty was overseas in remote locations,” Sandlin said.
Sandlin said he served in locations like Alaska, Scotland, Maine and Florida among others such as Diego Garcia which is in the Indian Ocean.
“My favorite duty station was in Edzell, Scotland which was about two and a half hours away from Glasgow. It was a Naval Security group out there. It was just another remote location, I spent three years there and it was my favorite place to be and my favorite tour, I was very successful there and I loved the place and the people,” he said.
He said he also served as Command Master Chief at Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida and his final tour was as Operations Superintendent for the Director of Production at the Aerospace Data Facility in Aurora, Colorado.
Sandlin said he was employed as the Naval Science Instructor, Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, Boyd County High School in Ashland, Kentucky starting the unit in 2001 and retiring following the 2016-2017 school year.
“I was in uniform altogether about 40 years or more,” Sandlin said.
Sandlin said he graduated from the U.S. Navy Senior Enlisted Academy and qualified as Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist. His personal awards include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Navy Commendation Medal and the Navy Achievement Medal with three gold stars.
“My proudest moment though is when I was made Chief Petty Officer in 1987. In the Navy, it’s the epitome of being successful and from a leadership stand-point, well every young sailor with a question about virtually anything in the Navy, the first thing they think of is ‘ask the Chief’, it’s a well-known phrase,” he said.
He said his wife, Susan Sandlin, came from a military family that went back generations and she even had family who fought in the revolution.
The military is a big part of his family and their lives and his family (his wife and two sons) went almost everywhere he did during his 22 and a half years of active service, he said.
“We spent two years in Alaska and went to a remote location in the Indian Ocean, we went to Scotland and Maine and down to Florida and my family was with me all the way,” he said.
When his kids were young traveling was like an adventure but when they became teenagers it was a little more difficult, he said.
“They were just like all kids when they’re teens you know, they made friends and didn’t want to leave them. Fortunately, they were able to establish very good friendships in Florida. Traveling carried over to their adult lives and they still travel quite a bit, they’re 48 and 46 now,” he said.
Among his other achievements Sandlin was also a substance abuse counselor and served as Command Master Chief at the Navy Alcohol Rehabilitation Center at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida. | https://maysville-online.com/top-stories/202912/veterans-to-be-honored-at-star-spangled-celebration | 2022-10-30T22:32:24 | en | 0.988189 |
A Canadian was among those injured in a crowd surge that killed more than 150 people in Seoul, South Korea, Global Affairs confirmed Sunday, while Korean Canadians said they were shocked by the disaster.
The federal department said Canadian officials are in touch with local authorities to gather more information and provide consular assistance to those affected.
It said no further information, including whether the person was hospitalized or the severity of the injuries, can be released about the person who was hurt due to privacy considerations.
“Canada offers its deepest condolences to the families and friends of those killed during yesterday’s Halloween festivities and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured," the department said in a statement issued on Sunday. "To our friends in South Korea, we stand with you during this difficult time.”
South Korean officials have said at least 153 people, mostly in their 20s and 30s, were trapped and crushed after a huge Halloween party crowd surged into a narrow alley in the nightlife district of Itaewon.
Tens of thousands of people were believed to have gathered Saturday night for the festivities.
Korean Canadians said they were upset to hear the news.
"My heart is broken, especially since so many young people have died," said Michaela Le, who works with uVillage Church in Vancouver.
The community is "shocked" by what happened. However, members haven't had a chance to gather formally and talk about the disaster so it's too early to say whether any supports are being organized for those affected, she said.
"It is such a sad, sad thing for the whole country and even for people who are living abroad to hear a story like this."
JeongWoong Seo, who is from Seoul but lives in Montreal, said she doesn't believe she knows anyone affected. But she said her church community discussed the tragedy Sunday.
"Today at service we talked about the news," she said. "It's very, very sad."
Susan Shin, who works with the Korean Personal Support Workers' Association in Toronto, said she learned about the news when friends shared it with her on a group chat.
"We are in deep sorrow," she said.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined other international leaders in offering condolences to South Korea Saturday following the deadly stampede.
"I'm thinking of everyone affected by this tragedy, and wishing a fast and full recovery to those who were injured," Trudeau said in a tweet. | https://www.cp24.com/news/canadian-among-injured-in-crowd-surge-that-killed-more-than-150-in-south-korea-1.6131502 | 2022-10-30T22:32:24 | en | 0.989363 |

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta's Younghoe Koo booted a 41-yard field goal in overtime after the Carolina Panthers missed a pair of kicks that could've won it, giving the Falcons an improbable 37-34 victory Sunday that maintained their hold on first place in the NFC South.
The teams combined for three touchdowns in the final 3:06 of regulation before a silly penalty by the Panthers' D.J. Moore opened the door for the Falcons (4-4) to pull it out.
With the Falcons up 34-28, Carolina (2-6) appeared to have won the game in stunning fashion when Moore hauled in a 62-yard touchdown heave from P.J. Walker with 12 seconds remaining.
But Moore ripped off his helmet during a raucous celebration in the end zone, resulting in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. That pushed back the extra point to a 48-yard attempt, and Eddy Piñeiro pulled it left of the upright.
Carolina (2-6) had another chance to win in OT after C.J. Henderson returned an interception 54 yards to the Falcons 20. But Piñeiro botched another kick, yanking a wobbler left again from 32 yards out — shorter than a regular extra point.
The Panthers wouldn't get another shot. Marcus Mariota, who threw three touchdown passes, ripped off a 30-yard run for the Falcons that set up Koo's game-winner with 1:55 left in the extra period.
The Panthers had a chance to create a four-team logjam in the NFC South. Instead, the Falcons have the lead all to themselves with a .500 record.
Mariota was 20 of 28 for 253 yards with a pair of interceptions, his first coming on the second play of the game.
But he was awfully good between those two picks, completing 12 straight passes at one point.
In the end, Mariota used his legs to burst from the pocket, veer toward the sideline and finish off the big run that would finally end the game.
The Panthers will regret how they let this one get away. They wasted a three-touchdown performance by D'Onta Foreman, who filled in brilliantly for injured running back Chuba Hubbard.
Hubbard, who had 118 yards on 26 carries, scored the last of his touchdowns on a 12-yard run with 3:06 to go, pushing the Panthers to a 31-28 lead.
Mariota and the Falcons needed less than a minute to go back in front. Damiere Byrd hauled in a pass around the 32, looped across the field and found a lane for a 47-yard TD with 2:14 on the clock.
The Panthers went out on downs, and the Falcons padded the lead on Koo's 36-yard field goal with 34 seconds remaining.
Enough time, it turned out, for the Panthers to score a touchdown. Moore ran right by Dean Marlowe, taking a more prominent role in the Falcons' injury depleted secondary, and hauled in what appeared to be the winning score after an impressive heave by Walker.
Moore finished with six catches for 152 yards and would have been the hero. But he yanked off his helmet — and the victory slipped away.
INJURY REPORT
Panthers: S Juston Burris went out with a concussion. ... CB Donte Jackson sustained an ankle injury late in the game.
Falcons: Already depleted in the secondary, Atlanta got a scare when cornerback Cornell Armstrong wobbled off the field midway through the third quarter. But he missed only a couple of plays before returning.
UP NEXT
Panthers: Hit the road again next Sunday to face the Cincinnati Bengals.
Falcons: Host the San Diego Chargers next Sunday.

It was a scene of chaos and confusion in the upper tiers of the police service and local government when a convoy of big rigs and protesters arrived in Ottawa to demand an end to pandemic restrictions last winter.
That's the picture witnesses have painted over the first couple of weeks of hearings at the Public Order Emergency Commission, which is investigating the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act in February to bring an end to the weeks-long demonstration.
The inquiry also heard about the plight of the capital's downtown residents, who recounted their suffering as lawlessness and around-the-clock blaring truck horns took over their community, and businesses that were forced to shut down.
But until now, the inquiry hasn't heard from the protesters themselves.
Slated to appear this week are witnesses who can shed light on the conception of the "Freedom Convoy" movement, which by all accounts to date appears to have been started by two truck drivers and a TikTok video, and how it escalated over time.
Several of the protest organizers on the witness list face criminal charges related to their involvement in the protest, including Tamara Lich and Pat King.
Keith Wilson, a lawyer representing a number of key convoy organizers, said before the inquiry that his clients are eager to talk about what was happening, and why they were in Ottawa in the first place.
"They’re hoping it will become apparent, which many already know, that there was no need to invoke the Emergencies Act," he said.
Wilson has since been added to the list of witnesses himself.
The protesters began to arrive in Ottawa on Jan. 28 to express their anger and opposition to the federal government and to COVID-19 restrictions, including vaccine mandates.
The protest quickly evolved into what police have deemed an "occupation," as protesters blocked traffic and set up camps in city streets. They blared horns, shouting cries of "freedom," and refused to leave until their demands were met.
The demonstrators inspired similar protests elsewhere in the country, including a six-day blockade of the Canada-U.S. border crossing on the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont.
On Feb. 14, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act to grant new powers to police, blocking off sections of the city and compelling towing companies to remove vehicles. Powers were also granted to banks and other financial services companies to freeze protest organizers' funds.
By Feb. 18, a massive police operation was underway to clear the protesters out of Ottawa streets.
The testimony from the convoy's point of view is expected to begin with two of the first organizers to get involved with planning the protest: Chris Barber and Brigitte Belton.
Barber has been co-accused with Tamara Lich of criminal mischief, obstructing police, and counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation for his actions during the protest. | https://www.cp24.com/news/emergencies-act-inquiry-to-hear-from-freedom-convoy-protest-organizers-this-week-1.6131583 | 2022-10-30T22:32:31 | en | 0.980472 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cristian “Chicho” Arango scored the go-ahead goal for the second straight game and the Los Angeles Football Club advanced to its first MLS Cup final with a 3-0 victory over Austin FC on Sunday.
LAFC — which won the Supporters Shield as the top team in the regular season — will host the winner of Sunday night's Eastern Conference final between NYCFC-Philadelphia Union on Saturday afternoon.
In the second half, Maximiliano Urruti scored an own goal and substitute Kwadwo Opoku added a score in the late stages.
It's just the second time in the last 10 years that the winner of the Supporters Shield made the MLS Cup final.
Arango headed in a crossing pass from Carlos Vela on a corner kick in the 29th minute to put LAFC on top.
The forward has scored in 26 of the 52 MLS games he has played since making his debut in August of last season. He is an MVP finalist after scoring 30 regular-season goals.
After Urruti's own goal in the 62nd minute, Opoku took advantage of a turnover and put a left-footed shot past Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver.
LAFC has won 11 of its last 12 matches (including the postseason) at home.
Austin FC finished in second place in its second season in MLS and had a 16-10-8 record during the regular season.

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) has released security camera footage of a man wanted in a sexual assault investigation in Scarborough.
The alleged assault happened on Wednesday evening in the area of Pharmacy Avenue and Corinthian Boulevard, just south of Finch Avenue East.
A 19-year-old woman exited a TTC bus and was followed by an unknown man who had been on the same bus and got off at the same stop, police said.
The man allegedly tailed the woman while riding his bicycle and proceeded to sexually assault her.
Police said the woman was able to flee from him, but the man continued to pursue her on foot.
He caught up with her and allegedly sexually assaulted her again.
Police said the woman later managed to escape and get away from the man.
The TTC security video, released by police on Sunday, is from inside of the bus and shows the suspect standing with a bicycle at the bus’ rear doors.
Police describe the man as Black, between 18 and 20 years old, five-foot-nine, with an average build.
He was last seen wearing a dark skinny jacket with a dark-coloured mountain bike, police say.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7474, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at www.222tips.com.

A handful of school boards in Ontario have confirmed they would close their schools if the province's education workers walk off the job this Friday.
On Sunday, CUPE’s Ontario School Board Council of Unions submitted its five-day notice to strike.
Come Friday, about 55,000 of Ontario’s early childhood educators, educational assistants, administrative staff and custodians in the province’s English, French, and Catholic school boards could go on strike, if no collective agreement has been reached.
Four school boards have detailed their plans so far for Friday, should the strike occur.
The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCSDB) is the first in the city to share what could happen to its 195 schools if a strike takes place. In a Sunday email to parents and guardians, the board said it would close its schools “to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of our students and staff.”
The schools’ closure would also cancel permits for special events, night school, and Saturday classes, as well as cease all excursions throughout the duration of the strike.
Child-care services are currently being worked out between the TCSDB and its providers, but parents are ‘encouraged’ to make their own arrangements.
“We understand that this news is difficult and may be the source of stress among families and their children, particularly after the circumstances during the pandemic,” the Oct. 30 letter reads.
“However, please be aware that the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) does not control the decisions regarding the strike or its remedy as negotiations rest centrally at the provincial level.”
The Halton District School Board (HDSB) revealed it will provide a mix of in-person and online learning to its Kindergarten to Grade 8 students. Friday will start with in-person learning then following the weekend on Monday students will take classes at home, with the schedule alternating between both each subsequent day.
HDSB’s secondary students will continue to attend class at school each day, which includes Grade 7 to 12 schools in Aldershot, Burlington Central, and Acton District.
Outside of the GTA, Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington (PVNC) Catholic District School Board and Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board both confirmed in separate emails to parents on Friday they wouldn’t be able to keep schools open if all CUPE members strike. The two school boards alone oversee over 100 schools.
In a statement to CTV News Toronto, the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA) said its “top priority is to negotiate a fair collective agreement, that is fully-funded, and in the best interest of our students.”
OPBSA President Cathy Abraham confirmed the board would attend the emergency mediated session Sunday afternoon with CUPE, government negotiators, and all other affected parties in downtown Toronto.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Max Verstappen set the Formula One record for wins in a season Sunday at the Mexico City Grand Prix, where he scored his 14th victory to break the record shared with Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
Schumacher set the record in 2004, Vettel tied it in 2013 and Verstappen was tied with the Germans for all of one week following his victory last week at Circuit of the Americas. Paired with wins at Miami, Montreal and now Mexico City, Verstappen swept the North American portion of this year's F1 schedule.
The Dutchman retained his F1 world championship with four races remaining in the season, clinched the constructors championship for Red Bull with three races remaining in the season, and has two races left to thoroughly demolish the wins-in-a-season record.
Red Bull has now won nine consecutive races, tying the team record set in 2013. The team has won 16 of 21 F1 races this season with Verstappen and Sergio Perez, winner at Monaco and Singapore.
Lewis Hamilton finished second for the second consecutive week. He might have had a shot at his first win of the season but Mercedes made the wrong call on a tire change that gave Verstappen control.
Perez finished third on his home track for the second consecutive year — earning deafening cheers even though a Mexican driver has yet to win at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Perez has been mobbed by adoring fans all week in his return. It began with a demonstration run in his hometown of Guadalajara before he arrived at the circuit, where Perez has been swarmed by crowds as soon as he enters the paddock.
He had to use a back route to get to the Red Bull garage each on-track session as drivers and teams complained most of the weekend that the spectators who had purchased paddock access were too aggressive.
But the fans love their native driver and, before the race, Perez took a ride around the track on the back of a convertible Volkswagen. He often held his hand to his heart to show his appreciation to the 120,000-plus fans.
“It's been incredible, honestly,” Perez told the crowd in Spanish after the race. “Thank you for all the support you've given me this weekend. You're incredible, the best fan base. Thank you.”
The three-day weekend sold out in two minutes earlier this year, and the three-day crowd of 395,902 broke the mark set last year of 371,779. F1 also said ahead of the race that it had extended its contract with the race — often voted most popular among fans — through 2025.
The day belonged to Verstappen, who started from the pole and won for the 34th time in his career. He held the lead at the start as Hamilton passed teammate George Russell for second and Perez also made it past Russell.
Hamilton might have raced for the win and was the leader when he pitted and Mercedes chose the harder, more durable tire compound. Verstappen had a softer and faster tire and Hamilton lacked the speed to challenge for the victory.
Hamilton has two more chances to avoid the first winless season of his career.
Pierre Gassly, meanwhile, earned another two penalty points for running Lance Stroll wide off track and the Frenchman is now one penalty point away from a one-race suspension.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Alvin Kamara scored his first three touchdowns of the season, and the New Orleans Saints shut out the Las Vegas Raiders 24-0 on Sunday.
Kamara converted short receptions into touchdowns of 36 and 16 yards. He also rushed for a 3-yard score.
Andy Dalton justified the Saints' decision to start him for a fifth straight game despite season-opening starter Jameis Winston having recovered enough from back and ankle injuries to be a full participant in practice this week.
Dalton was 22 of 30 for 229 yards and two TDs. His top receiver was Kamara, who had nine receptions for 96 yards to go with his 62 yards rushing.
Kamara has been having a productive season and had surpassed 100 yards from scrimmage in New Orleans' previous three games.
Oddly, that hadn't translated into a single touchdown until he faced Las Vegas — just days after saying he wanted to “whoop” the Raiders this week for Saints coach Dennis Allen, whose first head coaching job came with that club from 2012 to 2014.
It was an anemic performance by the Las Vegas offense under coach Josh McDaniels. The Raiders didn't get the ball across midfield until two minutes remained in the game.
Derek Carr, who was pulled late in the fourth quarter, finished 15 of 26 for 101 yards with one interception. He was sacked three times.
The Saints finished with four sacks in all, two by second-year defensive end Payton Turner, who was playing for the first time in four weeks after recovering from a chest injury. Tackle David Onyemata had another, while end Cameron Jordan and tackle Kentavius Street shared one.
TURNOVER TURNAROUND
The Saints came in with an NFL-worst turnover differential of minus-10 but fared better against Las Vegas.
New Orleans did not turn the ball over and safety Tyrann Mathieu intercepted Carr on a pass tipped by linebacker Pete Werner. That was the Saints' second interception all season. Mathieu has both.
INJURIES
Raiders: Played without tight end Darren Waller, who had been listed as questionable as he tried to return from an Oct. 10 hamstring injury. Davante Adams, who had been questionable with an illness, played but had just one catch for 3 yards.
Saints: Running back Mark Ingram was treated for a knee injury in the first half and did not return.
UP NEXT
Raiders: At Jacksonville on Nov. 6.
Saints: Host Baltimore in a Monday night game on Nov. 7.

SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Seamus Power did enough right and left all the mistakes to PGA Tour rookie Ben Griffin on Sunday to win the Butterfield Bermuda Championship for his second tour title.
Power took the lead for good with a 25-foot birdie putt at the 14th. A bogey on the final hole gave the Irishman a 1-under 70 and a one-shot victory over Thomas Detry, who earlier had holed a bunker shot on the 18th for birdie and a 67.
But it was Griffin who had the best chance.
Just more than a year after Griffin was working as a loan officer, he had a shot at winning on the PGA Tour and going to the Masters. He started the back nine at Port Royal with back-to-back birdies, putting him at 5 under for the day and with a two-shot lead over Power.
And then it all fell apart.
Griffin bogeyed four straight holes, followed by a double bogey on the par-3 16th that effectively ended his chances.
The turning point came at the 14th when Griffin hooked his tee shot, had to take a penalty drop and make his third straight bogey, while Power holed his birdie putt for a two-shot swing and his first lead of the day.
Both made bogey on the 15th. Griffin hit a hard draw into a strong wind that went into the hazard above the Atlantic Ocean, leading to another penalty drop and another missed putt for a double bogey.
“This course was always going to be a tale of two sides,” Power said. “I knew it was going to be hard coming in and it was. I'm delighted to get it done.”
Power won last year at the Barbasol Championship in Kentucky, held the same week as the British Open. This victory moves him to No. 32 in the world. He came into Bermuda at No. 48, the highest-ranked player in the field.
After making four straight bogeys and then a double bogey, Griffin used iron off the tee on the par-5 17th and watched it run through the fairway and into the water. He took his third penalty drop in four holes, though at least managed a par.
Power went just over the green and chipped to 3 feet for birdie, giving him a two-shot lead over Detry and room for error playing the last hole.
“It was a fun week. I hate to finish the tournament the way I did,” said Griffin, who shot 72 and tied for third with Patrick Rodgers (65) and Kevin Yu (67). “As I gain more experience, I'm going to get more comfortable.”
Griffin and Power were tied going into the final round, and it was Griffin who seized control early with four birdies in the opening six holes. He looked like a winner when he rolled in birdie putts on the 10th and 11th to extend his lead to two shots.
But he missed a 6-foot par putt on the 12th, and he missed a 4-foot par putt on the next hole, and it only got tougher from there.
DIVOTS: Aaron Baddeley, who got in as a Monday qualifier, was in the mix until a pair of late bogeys. He still tied for sixth and was among those who earned spots into Mayakoba next week in Mexico for finishing in the top 10. ... Tennessee freshman Caleb Surratt shot a 64 to make the cut. He followed that with an 85 in the third round, only to improve by 20 shots with a 65 on Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — David Robertson walked off the mound after retiring Miami’s Miguel Rojas in April 2019. He wouldn’t throw another big league pitch for nearly 2 1/2 years.
He was a big bucks bust, his elbow shot less than a month into a $23 million, two-year contract with the Phillies. One surgery, a trip to Japan and three teams later, he’s wearing those high socks on a World Series mound, closing for Philadelphia at age 37.
“Very happy to end up back here in Philly,” he said. “I felt like my first go-around here did not work out well for me or the team. I blew out seven games in and was never able to really show what I could do or be able to help out the club.”
Robertson smiled as teammates filed by him to exchange hand slaps following Friday night’s opener. Robertson got the save for getting the final three outs in a 6-5, 10-inning win, retiring Aledmys Díaz on a game-ending groundout but only after allowing runners to reach second and third. He lived up to the “Houdini” nickname he earned with the New York Yankees, where he succeeded Mariano Rivera as closer.
“He had a tendency to get in trouble and then work his way out of it,” said Phillies manager Rob Thomson, a Yankees coach from 2008-17. “But that’s who he is. He’s got a really calm demeanor and a slow heartbeat and he conveys that throughout the bullpen, so he helps a lot of the younger guys. A lot of guys are going through troubles, he can help them through it.”
A Birmingham native who attended the University of Alabama, Robertson was drafted by the Yankees on the 17th round in the 2006 amateur draft and reached the big leagues two years later. He was a middle reliever during the 2009 title run, getting wins in the Division Series and League Championship Series and making a pair of scoreless appearances against the Phillies in the World Series as the Yankees won the title.
Robertson didn’t return to the Series until this year.
“I feel like a real part of the team,” he said. “In 2009, it was my second year in the league and there was so many superstars on that team that I just tried to kind of stay in the background and enjoy it, but I don’t remember as much of it.”
In his 14th big league season, Robertson has 57 wins and 157 saves. He became a late-inning reliever in 2011, earning his only All-Star trip, was promoted to primary setup man in 2012 and then closer when Rivera retired after the 2013 season. After one year in the role, Robertson left for a $46 million, four-year contract with the Chicago White Sox.
He was dealt back to the Yankees in July 2017. Even on a high-profile team, he was relatively anonymous away from the ballpark, riding the subway to Yankee Stadium wearing a hoodie.
When the contract expired, he became a free agent again and signed with the Phillies. Shut down 2 1/2 weeks into the season with what initially was diagnosed as a strained flexor tendon, Robertson had surgery Aug. 15 with Dr. James Andrews.
“I definitely had a rough road coming back from that injury. I had a little bit more complicated than just the Tommy John. I had flexor repair, as well,” Robertson said. “So my timeline was a lot longer than most people. And I was 34 years old when I had surgery, so it took me a little bit of time to get back. In my mind that wasn’t done, I just needed it that amount of time to get my elbow right to be able to pitch.”
He spent much of 2020 rehabbing, and was shut down after a setback in August. His Phillies contract over, he promised USA Baseball executive director Paul Seiler he would play for the U.S. Olympic team under Mike Scioscia. Robertson had two saves as the Americans won the silver medal.
“It was so hot over there. And even coming from Alabama, the humidity over there was something I hadn’t experienced in a long time,” Robertson said. “You’re playing in 100 degrees with 100% humidity on AstroTurf, and the game was so fast. They had it sped up faster than anything I’ve ever seen. And no fans in the seats, so you could hear everything.”
He signed with Tampa Bay a little more than a week after the Olympics, pitched six times for Triple-A Durham and was back in the majors on Sept. 1, 2021. He pitched 12 regular-season games and three in the Division Series. Then in January, he reached a $3.5 million, one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs that would earn him another $1.6 million in bonuses.
Batters had just one hit in their first 34 at-bats against him this season. With Chicago out of contention, the Phillies acquired him at the trade deadline on Aug. 2 for minor league right-hander Ben Brown.
“He was one of the best relief pitchers in the game of baseball at that point,” Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. “He’s pitched in big moments in a big market. So we thought if we were going to acquire somebody that can pitch at the back end of the game, he’d feel very comfortable to do that.”
Robertson had six saves in nine chances with a 2.70 ERA for the Phillies and finished the season with 20 saves in 28 chances and a .173 opponents’ batting average along with a 2.40 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He averaged 93 mph with his cutter, close to his pre-surgery peak.
Then he opened the playoffs by getting the win with a perfect eighth inning against St. Louis in the Wild Card Series opener. He missed the Division Series after hurting his right calf while jumping to celebrate Bryce Harper's home run in the clinching win over the Cardinals.
It took 13 years for Robertson to make it back to baseball’s biggest stage, and he’s enjoying the moment.
“Pretty good adrenaline rush there,” he said the day after getting the Series save. “It turned into a tough inning there, but it always is tough to get those final three outs.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Za'Darius Smith had three sacks to help Minnesota's defense hang on against Kyler Murray, and the Vikings beat the Arizona Cardinals 34-26 on Sunday for their fifth consecutive victory.
Dalvin Cook rushed for a season-high 111 yards and a touchdown and Kirk Cousins passed for two scores and ran for another for the Vikings (6-1), who stayed unbeaten at home in coach Kevin O'Connell's rookie year.
Murray passed for 326 yards and a season-high three touchdowns, including a one-handed grab for a score by DeAndre Hopkins with 47 seconds left in the second quarter, but he threw two second-half interceptions that proved costly for the Cardinals (3-5).
The Vikings went 31 yards in four plays for a touchdown after the first one, a dangerous heave by Murray under pressure from his own end zone.
The second pick, a throw way behind Zach Ertz, came on the drive right after Cousins hit K.J. Osborn on third-and-2 from the 5 for a 34-26 lead. That was set up by a fumbled punt return by Greg Dortch at his 25.
Hopkins had 12 catches for 159 yards in his second game back from suspension, Rondale Moore had seven receptions for 92 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Murray's always-dangerous ability to leave the pocket kept an active Vikings defense honest all game.
But the Cardinals crossed midfield on each of their last three possessions over the last half of the fourth quarter while trailing by one score and never got closer than the 37.
Former Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks dragged down Eno Benjamin just short of the marker on fourth-and-4 to turn the ball over with 2:39 left. Out of timeouts on their last drive, Murray was sacked by Smith at the 44 with 10 seconds remaining. Then Harrison Phillips brought him down for a big loss on the last play to end the game.
The Vikings have won all 11 matchups in Minneapolis since the Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1988.
FACE IT
Greg Joseph, who missed an extra point for the second straight game, has missed five consecutive field goals at U.S. Bank Stadium. His 56-yard attempt on the final snap of the first half was so low it hit Cardinals nose tackle Leki Fotu in the facemask.
RIDING HIGH
Jared Allen donned a cowboy hat and rode a black horse onto the field at halftime for his induction ceremony for the club’s Ring of Honor. Fans received a fake mullet attached to a headband in tribute to Allen, a three-time All-Pro defensive end in six seasons with the Vikings from 2008-13.
INJURY REPORT
Cardinals: LG Max Garcia (shoulder), who started last week after Justin Pugh's season-ending knee injury, and LT D.J. Humphries (back) were inactive. OLB Dennis Gardeck (ankle) sat out for the second game in a row, RB James Conner (ribs) missed his third straight game, C Rodney Hudson (knee) was sidelined for a fourth consecutive game.
Vikings: Ross Blacklock replaced Jonathan Bullard (illness) at the base DE spot. ... DE Dalvin Tomlinson (calf) left in the third quarter.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: Host Seattle next Sunday, their first of three straight games against NFC West foes.
Vikings: Visit Washington next Sunday, the first trip there for Cousins to face his former team since coming to Minnesota in 2018.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zion Williamson had 21 points and 12 rebounds in his return, and the New Orleans Pelicans pulled away in the second half to rout the Los Angeles Clippers 112-91 on Sunday.
CJ McCollum added 22 points for the Pelicans, who’ve won four of their first six games. Williamson was out the last two games with a right hip and lower back contusion, one of three starters to have missed last two games.
Norman Powell had 18 points off the bench for the Clippers. Paul George added 14 points and Marcus Morris had 12. With Kawhi Leonard again sidelined, the Clippers dropped their fourth in a row.
Naji Marshall stole Amir Coffey's bad pass and streaked down court to score in the game's closing minutes, waving goodbye to the Clippers fans who hadn't already bailed out.
Williamson and McCollum combined to score 10 straight to open the third, giving New Orleans a 62-54 lead.
Reggie Jackson scored seven in a row to draw the Clippers within one before the Pelicans got going again. Larry Nance Jr. hit a 3-pointer and Williamson followed with a dunk. Williamson closed the period by completing a three-point play that sent the Pelicans into the fourth leading 78-67.
The Pelicans have been a force in the paint through their first six games, ranking second in the league with 56 points. They had that many against the Clippers.
The Pelicans were 15 of 36 from 3-point range, hitting five in the fourth. The Clippers were just 11 of 39 from long distance.
Trailing by 11 points, the Pelicans outscored the Clippers 17-9 to close the second and pull into a 52-all tie at halftime.
TIP-INS
Pelicans: Starters Herb Jones (right knee hyperextension) and Brandon Ingram (concussion protocols) each missed their third straight game.
Clippers: Leonard missed his fourth game with knee stiffness and he won't play Monday either.
UP NEXT
Pelicans: After two days off, visit the Lakers on Wednesday.
Clippers: Host the Houston Rockets on Monday in the second game of a back-to-back.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service RENO NV
203 PM PDT Sun Oct 30 2022
...EARLY SEASON STORM WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS, SNOWFALL, AND MUCH
COLDER TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK...
* STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS: Winds will increase Tuesday ahead of an
approaching cold front. Gusts of 35 to 45 mph are likely in the
valleys with gusts up to 55 mph in wind prone locations. Sierra
ridgetop gusts may reach 100 mph. Impacts from winds include
road travel restrictions due to cross winds especially for high
profile vehicles, aviation turbulence and shear, hazardous
boating conditions, and patchy blowing dust downwind of dry lake
beds. Wind impacts will diminish behind the cold front Tuesday
night.
* SNOW IMPACTS: The first impactful snowfall of the season looks
to occur with this storm. Early in the day Tuesday,
precipitation will likely start out as snow above 6,000 feet as
the main band pushes into northwestern Nevada. Rain or a
rain/snow mix will be possible below this elevation. While snow
levels may rise close to 7,000 feet Tuesday afternoon, they will
quickly fall to valley floors by Wednesday morning. Snow
showers may continue to impact roadways through early Thursday
morning. Be prepared for slow downs and delays with slick roads.
* MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES: The cold airmass will bring the
season's coldest temperatures so far. High temperatures will
plummet some 15-20 degrees below average on Wednesday and
Thursday - struggling to get out of the 30s in the Sierra
valleys and 40s across western Nevada. Brisk, northerly breezes
will keep it feeling cold through Thursday afternoon. Hard
freezes are likely, particularly Thursday and Friday mornings as
skies clear out. Teens and single digits will be common in
Sierra valleys while colder spots like Bridgeport and Bodie may
see sub-zero temperatures. Finish up winter protections for
exposed irrigation equipment if you have not done so already.

CALIFORNIA CITY, Calif., Oct. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GenesisCare, a leading provider of integrated cancer care globally, and Prelude Corporation (PreludeDx(TM)), a leader in molecular diagnostics and precision medicine, today announced interim results from the AUSPREDICT registry. Data presented at the Australasian International Breast Congress demonstrates a significant (45%) change in radiation therapy treatment recommendations1 when using the DCISionRT test, optimising management to prevent over and under treatment of Australian women with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS).
DCIS is a pre-invasive disease of the breast that may lead to invasive breast cancer if untreated.(2) After breast conserving surgery (BCS) for DCIS, radiation therapy is often used to minimise the risk of recurrence. DCISionRT(R)is a novel molecular test that assesses the 10-year risk of recurrence after BCS and if there would be a benefit to treating with radiation therapy. GenesisCare and PreludeDx formed a strategic partnership in 2021 to bring DCISionRT to Australia for the first time and establish the AUS-PREDICT registry to collect real-world data to further the development of precision medicine and decision tools globally.
The presentation, entitled Interim Analysis of the PREDICT Registry Australia: Changes in Treatment Recommendation for a Biologic Signature Predictive of Radiation Therapy (RT) Benefit in Patients with DCIS, studied 232 patients from Australia who had received the DCISionRT test following breastconserving surgery. Radiation therapy recommendation decreased by 70% in patients with a low risk DCISionRT score and increased 29% in patients with elevated risk scores.(1)
Leading Specialist Breast Surgeon and Director of Breast Cancer Services for Royal Melbourne and Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, Professor Bruce Mann, said: "Historically, we have relied on clinical pathology, such as tumour grade and size, to determine treatment plans for patients with DCIS. This data demonstrates the integration of DCISionRT into clinical decision making has a substantial impact on RT recommendations and has the ability to prevent over and under treatment of DCIS patients."
Principal Investigator and GenesisCare Radiation Oncologist, Dr Yvonne Zissiadis, said the interim results "demonstrate the critical role of DCISionRT in the clinical treatment pathway for DCIS patients, ensuring women receive the right treatment at the right time. "Our study highlights that DCISionRT is a promising predictive tool, arming clinicians and patients with the information to make informed decisions about treatment options based on a patient's individual biological risk profile."
"GenesisCare, in partnership with PreludeDx, is thrilled to present the interim findings from our Australian-first study," continued Dr Zissiadis.
"The first interim analysis of AUS-PREDICT is highly consistent with the US-PREDICT registry3 that has completed enrollment of 2,500 patients," said Troy Bremer, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of PreludeDx. "In the registry studies in both countries, DCISionRT was the most impactful single factor for changing treatment recommendations regarding radiation therapy following breast conserving surgery," continued Dr. Bremer.
"We are delighted to bring precision medicine to Australian women diagnosed with DCIS and further enrollment in the AUS-PREDICT registry. We look forward to the continued expansion of our global data network and clinical evidence for DCISionRT," said Dan Forche, CEO of PreludeDx.

About AUS-PREDICT Registry
AUS-PREDICT is a prospective registry study designed to evaluate the effect of the DCISionRT test on treatment decisions in patients with DCIS following breast conserving therapy. The study will enrol 1500 women across Australia onto the registry, who have accessed DCISionRT following surgery.
About DCISionRT for Breast DCIS
DCISionRT is the only risk assessment test for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) that predicts radiation therapy benefit. Patients with DCIS have cancerous cells lining the milk ducts of the breast, but they have not spread into surrounding breast tissue. In the US, over 60,000 women are newly diagnosed with DCIS each year. DCISionRT, developed by PreludeDx on technology licensed from the University of California San Francisco, and built on research that began with funding from the National Cancer Institute, enables physicians to better understand the biology of DCIS. DCISionRT combines the latest innovations in molecular biology with risk-based assessment scores to assess a woman's individual tumor biology along with other pathologic risk factors and provide a personalised recurrence risk. The test provides a Decision ScoreTM that identifies a woman's risk as low or elevated. DCISionRT's intelligent reporting provides a woman's recurrence risk after breast conserving surgery alone and with the addition of radiation therapy. In turn, this new information may help patients and their physicians to make more informed treatment decisions.
Disclaimer: As the test has only recently launched in Australia, it is not currently on the Medicare Benefits Scheme or listed on the Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) in Australia. Instead, the patient's tissue sample is sent offshore to California to a Prelude's CAP/CLIA-approved lab for analysis. The test is frequently used in the USA and many insurers fund the test there. Globally, the test is validated by Level 1b clinical evidence which is considered to be one of the highest levels of evidence.

Dak Prescott took to the field the first-to-market premium functional sparkling beverage GLOW®
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GLOW® Beverages Inc. recently debuted its functional sparkling beverage line and announced Dak Prescott and Kylie Jenner as equity stakeholders and ambassadors. GLOW® is proud of their partnership with The Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Dak Prescott who was drawn to the brand because of its unique offerings that fulfil a gap in customer needs regarding hydration.
This Sunday, Prescott returned to the field in an exciting game against the Chicago Bears. He chose this special moment to publicly showcase his alignment with GLOW® Energy Sparkling Water. As an equity stakeholder and brand ambassador, Prescott's commitment to the company is unrivalled, and his decision to showcase GLOW® during this important game further cements his connection with the brand, which will be part of his comeback success on the field.
"GLOW® is an incredible, functional drink, and it tastes amazing. I'm proud to be an ambassador of the brand and a shareholder in the company. LET'S GLOW!" said Dak Prescott.
"With Dak Prescott joining our GLOW team as an equity stakeholder and endorser of the beverage, we are going to GLOW this company up!" said Kev Kouyoumjian, Managing Partner.
Fellow ambassador Kylie Jenner took to Instagram earlier in the week to say she is proud to join the GLOW® team as an equity stakeholder alongside Dak Prescott.
GLOW® product lines include hydration and energy. The immune-forward brand launched with six SKU flavors: Spicy Watermelon, Mango Apricot, Ginger Lemon, Cherry Lime, Pineapple Blood Orange, and Tiger's Blood. They will also carry GLOW® PH, an Ultra Smooth Alkaline Water.
GLOW® white bottles denote a hydration product, while the black bottles in the line boast B12 & green coffee bean extract as the energy source. The product line also has GLOW PH, an Ultra Smooth Alkaline Water with 150+ TDS. The low-calorie treat was invented when founders John Larson and Kev Kouyoumjian noticed a whitespace in the functional beverage category. Historically, sparkling waters have lacked function, and functional beverages don't offer sparkling (carbonated) versions of their product.
"I formulated GLOW® to support my busy lifestyle. My goal was to create a premium beverage that wasn't made for an athlete but instead made for someone with a demanding professional lifestyle. I didn't see anything like that being offered. Additionally, I wanted all-day usage from the time when I woke up until the end of the night. This drink is needed to support a healthy mind & body, and GLOW® does just that. Not only is GLOW® great for your day-to-day life, but it is also multifunctional. It has won awards for taste and best cocktail mixer," said John Larson, Founder of GLOW® Beverages Inc. "After long days at the office and in meetings, I enjoy going out in the evenings. I only go out for a couple of cocktails, but I don't want water or soda to be my other option. I want something unique that fits the more upscale environments I enjoy. I also want to have a flavor that I enjoy. GLOW® is premium enough to be sold where I like to spend my evenings. It is hydrating, tastes great, and, most importantly, has functionality with our proprietary blend of herbs, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and so much more. It keeps me going all day and into the night. GLOW® was created from a personal need that has become a growing need for those around me that expect function, flavor, and style."
GLOW® Sparkling Hydration and Energy has no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. The formulas offer vitamins and minerals to support immune function. GLOW® also has antioxidants, amino acids, and electrolytes. Other functional ingredients include prickly pear and milk thistle.
In addition to the six-flavor functional beverage range, GLOW® is debuting GLOW® Shots. These energy shots pack a punch with caffeine, zero sugar, zero carbs, and zero calories.
GLOW® Beverages are available direct to consumers via www.drinkglow.com. The brand can also be found in Costco's in the Bay Area starting October 18th with the official launch of GLOW® Ultra Smooth Alkaline water. They will be rolling out to Walmart, Ralph's (Kroger), 7-Eleven, and Albertsons locations in Spring 2023. You can follow @drinkglow on Instagram to keep up with the latest news.

- CEO Chung Ki-sun discussed with Chairman Peter Thiel to make progress in business cooperation, digital transformation (DX), and business management agenda.
- Establishment of a joint venture for big data solutions within this year was discussed to build a big data platform to provide service for the public and private sectors.
- "We will further speed up the digital transformation with Palantir," said CEO Chung.
SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HD Hyundai (former Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings) CEO Chung Ki-sun met with Co-founder and Chairman Peter Thiel of Palantir Technologies, the world's no.1 big data company, to discuss new business development and overall business agenda.
Hyundai Heavy Industry Group (HHI Group) announced on October 30 that CEO Chung had a discussion with Palantir Chairman Thiel at Yeouido Fairmont Hotel Seoul during the Chairman's visit to Korea. They exchanged opinions about an upcoming joint venture (JV) between HHI Group and Palantir and the business development currently under bilateral cooperation.
CEO Chung and Chairman Thiel examined the digital transformation (DX) status in HHI Group's business areas of shipbuilding, energy, and construction equipment, which are under bilateral collaboration.
In September, HHI Group signed the main contract to introduce "Foundry," Palantir's corporate big data platform, to all the affiliates under the shipbuilding business, and planned to utilize the platform to establish the foundation for a shipyard with autonomous operation, which is currently under development.
Moreover, the two business leaders exchanged opinions about business uncertainty caused by worldwide inflation, interest rate increase, and the energy crisis combined with the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war and shared ideas about corporate survival and growth strategy amid the complex economic crisis.
In addition, CEO Chung and Chairman Thiel agreed to finalize the JV establishment this year to introduce and supply a tailored big data platform service to public institutions and the private sector in Korea. HHI Group and Palantir plan to expand sales through the JV by providing a customer-tailored big data solution in Korea, where the world-class IT infrastructure is established.
HHI Group will provide know-how accumulated in its world's no.1 shipbuilding business and various manufacturing businesses and establish a bridgehead in the Korean market and entry strategies. At the same time, Palantir will build up a big data platform for customers and take responsibility for software supply and operation.
"The meeting with Chairman Thiel was very constructive and fruitful. With Palantir, we will gear up the speed for digital transformation based on data and AI," said CEO Chung.
"The logistical challenges for a world-leading shipbuilding company like Hyundai Heavy Industries Group are immense," said Palantir Co-Founder and Chairman Peter Thiel. "Those hard problems are where Palantir's engineers thrive."
- About Chairman Peter Thiel of Palantir Technologies
Chairman Peter Thiel founded PayPal in 1998, the world's first Fin-tech company and operated it with Elon Musk, and co-founded Palantir with Alex Carp in 2004. Known as a "Silicon Valley heavyweight," he invested in over 150 IT companies, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Tesla Motors, Space X, and Airbnb.

India’s rank of 107 among 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI, 2022), released earlier this month by the aid agencies Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe (CWW), has caused some anguish within the Government of India. The Opposition parties have cited India’s poor score as “evidence” of the poor policies and performance of the government, which hit back by rejecting the GHI and alleging that the index is a deliberate attempt to taint India’s image. Let me try to dig a little deeper to locate the problem with the GHI and suggest ways to improve it.
Many readers may not know that the GHI had its genesis at the IFPRI (International Food Policy Research Institute), where I had the privilege to serve for more than a decade. Let me say at the very outset, the IFPRI is a very responsible and credible organisation, and would never ever venture into maligning any country’s image. Having said that, let me also add that any index of such nature can have conceptual and empirical problems, and there is always scope to improve. I recall when the GHI was envisioned, we at the IFPRI had discussed and debated many things from its nomenclature to weights of the different components that comprise the index. I, for one, had my reservations at that time and have so even now. So, I sympathise with the government’s contention, “Three of the four indicators used for calculation of the index are related to the health of children and cannot be representative of the entire population. The fourth and most important indicator estimate of the proportion of undernourished population is based on an opinion poll conducted on a very small sample size of 3,000.” I agree with this statement and even go further in saying that the weightage diagram in this GHI needs a revisit if it has to represent the entire population.
What is the first problem with the GHI? The very nomenclature suggests a link to starvation — from the index, it might seem that a lot of people in the country do not get basic food. That’s not the case in India. India has been giving literally free food (rice/wheat), 10/kg per person per month to more than 800 million people since April 2020 in the wake of Covid-19. It also exported more than 30 MMT of cereals in 2021. This helped avert starvation deaths not only in India but also in many other countries. India’s gesture has been applauded by multilateral agencies like the UNDP, IMF, World Bank, etc. The government’s anguish stems from the fact that the GHI does not consider this mega scheme of free food under the PMGKY (Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana), but instead relies on an “opinion survey” of 3,000 in a country of 1.4 billion. In defence, the authors of the GHI say that NSSO’s consumption data has not been generated after 2011. So they relied on this limited ‘opinion survey’. This is not a credible excuse for a large country like India.
My humble suggestion to the authors of the index is to use the calorie intake based on FAO’s food balance sheets. I say so because even the NSSO data on consumption has serious problems of underestimation. Statistical experts caution using NSSO consumption data for total consumption. Our own research at ICRIER shows that the gap in calories consumption as estimated from NSSO consumption surveys and those from production statistics of food has been growing over years. The food balance sheet approach gives 15 to 20 per cent higher calorie consumption than the NSSO. For 2019 we estimated 2,581 calories while the NSSO consumption survey of 2011 is stuck at 2088 calories. More research is needed by the agencies that produce the GHI to refine the numbers. I am sure with this improvement, India’s ranking will also improve. And since India is such a large country, even global numbers on hunger will undergo significant changes.
But let me turn to other variables that go into the GHI and their weightage. Besides the malnourished population, which has a weightage of 0.33, the other variables are stunting (low height for age) and wasting (low weight for height) of children below the age of 5, which together have a weight of 0.33. The fourth variable is that of mortality rate of children under 5 years, which also has a weight of 0.33. So, in the overall GHI, two-thirds of the weightage are of children under 5 years. No wonder the government has been saying that the GHI is more reflective of children’s health status than that of the entire population. In children’s health status much of the data used in GHI is from National Family Health Surveys.
What we need to note however is the following: In the case of mortality rates, no matter how you measure, there is a significant drop over time. The mortality rate for under 5 years age group (U5MR) has fallen from 88.1 in 2001 to 32.6 in 2020, per 1000 live births (see infographics).
The progress in stunting and wasting is much slower as measured by NFHS because when children are saved from dying, they often increase the inflow of malnourished children. The outflow from this reservoir of stunted and wasted children is still not large enough to show as dramatic a decline as mortality rates have shown. But once mortality rates stabilise at low levels, I am sure the fall in stunting and wasting will be much faster.
However, it must be noted that stunting and wasting is not just because of lack of food (hunger). It is a multi-dimensional problem that requires focus on female education, access to immunisation, and better sanitation facilities. The upshot of all this is that we need a much more comprehensive index, like the Multi-dimensional Poverty (MPI) index of the UNDP, than the GHI to capture the status of the entire population.

OAKLAND – It sounded on Sunday in Oakland as if there will be a great deal to talk about this week on the South Side of Pittsburgh.
For starters, defensive end Brett Keisel wanted to talk about the Steelers falling behind 7-0 on the first offensive snap, and then falling behind further to 14-0 midway through the first quarter on the way to an eventual 21-18 loss to the Raiders.
"We gotta come out of the locker room ready to play, we do," Keisel said. "We can't ease into football games. When the National Anthem goes, you gotta be ready to go. So far this season we've struggled in that area. We gotta step into stadiums ready to go.
"It's gonna be addressed. It'll be addressed. I might address it. It'll just be something where I'll talk to the team. We've gotta be better in that area. I want everyone to understand that."
**
TIME OR YARDS?**: Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger might have a word with Coach Mike Tomlin about whether to use a timeout inside the two-minute warning or take a delay-of-game penalty when the game clock isn't running but the play clock is about to expire at a stage of the game in which the Steelers are trying desperately to cut into a two-score deficit.
"Maybe (today) Coach Tomlin will tell me what he wants me to do in that situation," Roethlisberger said. "I know timeouts are valuable, but for an offense that wasn't scoring touchdowns so are 5 yards."
The situation was this yesterday in O.co Coliseum:
Trailing, 21-10, the Steelers faced a second-and-3 at the Oakland 12-yard line with 1:43 left in regulation after running back Le'Veon Bell was tackled out of bounds following a 7-yard completion.
Amid the confusion that followed, the Steelers were unable to get into position for the next snap in a timely fashion.
"The play clock was running down," Roethlisberger said. "I ran over there because the ref was grabbing for his flag for a horse-collar call on Le'Veon, and then he didn't (make the call). The ref asked (another official), 'Was there a horse collar?' They were kind of discussing it, and I guess they decided not to call it. By the time we got back to the huddle, you look up and there's three seconds (on the play clock) by the time we break the huddle."
Referee John Parry huddled with side judge Joe Larrew and head linesman Derick Bowers before the non-call resulted.
"You either take 5 yards (for delay of game) or you take the timeout," Roethlisberger said. "I know timeouts are valuable but I thought 5 yards were, too, so I had to burn it."
Taking a timeout there left the Steelers with two remaining.
They needed three timeouts to prevent the Raiders from running out all but the final 18 seconds once Oakland recovered an on-side kick with 1:24 left in the fourth quarter after the Steelers had closed to within 21-18.
"I was looking for the flag," Roethlisberger said. "The one ref talked to the other one and said, 'I was gonna call it, I couldn't tell. What did you see?' They decided not to. I was waiting for either a re-set (of the play clock) or a penalty, because I'm following the ref back over and couldn't tell what he was going to do.
"We just kinda got caught in a bad situation."
**
THE ONES THAT GOT AWAY**: Wide receiver Antonio Brown caught nine passes for 82 yards and also contributed a 44-yard punt return but talked afterward about a couple of plays he was unable to make.
Third-and-15 from the Steelers' 35 with 9:25 remaining: Roethlisberger hit Brown for an apparent first down just inside the Raiders' 40-yard line, but safety Brandian Ross hit Brown and Brown didn't secure the catch upon hitting the ground out of bounds.
And, third-and-3 from the Raiders' 24 with 6:52 left: Roethlisberger hit Brown for an apparent first down to the Raiders' 20-yard line, but the ball came out again and Oakland cornerback Tracy Porter came up with it.
The announced ruling was a catch by Pittsburgh and a fumble recovery by Oakland.
The NFL Game Summary eventually credited Porter with an interception.
Of the first one, Brown said, "I made the catch. I got a little lax on the tuck, the guy came in late and made a great hit and got it out of there."
Of the second one, originally ruled a fumble but then changed for the time being to an interception, Brown explained, "The one they called a fumble, I thought I was down. I had my knee down. The guy came in late and punched the ball out. I thought it was a weird call, but I gotta do a better job securing the ball." | https://www.steelers.com/news/prisuta-s-further-review-11651714 | 2022-10-30T22:39:56 | en | 0.979982 |

In a weird way, I think we’re in store for a high-scoring game. Relatively speaking, for these teams, of course. The defense takes the field first as they look to regroup after the Chiefs scored 44 points.
You’d think Sean McVay and the Rams have a few tricks up their sleeves off a bye. The first drive wouldn’t suggest that, as Los Angeles punted.
Will San Francisco finally get out of its own way offensively? They’ve had no problem moving the ball all season. the issue comes when they get near the red zone. Jeff Wilson Jr. caught a pass. Christian McCaffrey ran for a first down, and the offense is already on the move. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/10/30/23431495/49ers-vs-rams-1st-quarter-thread-set-the-tone-early | 2022-10-30T22:46:34 | en | 0.975886 |
The 49ers, as we expected, didn’t struggle to move the ball on their first drive. They took a shot down the field, and it seemed as though Ray-Ray McCloud was open, but he couldn’t haul the pass in. Jimmy Garoppolo was a half-second late, which ultimately played a factor.
On third down, Garoppolo was fortunate not to throw an interception as Jalen Ramsey batted a pass straight up into the air.
The defense didn’t do their part after forcing a three-and-out. Los Angeles marched 88 yards on 17 plays and took over nine minutes off the clock. They had a few penalties that gave them a first down. Ambry Thomas was flagged for holding, and Charvarius Ward committed a pass interference.
Sean McVay beat DeMeco Ryans in the first quarter. He had a few well-timed screens right into the face of pressure. Injuries are showing up in the secondary. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/10/30/23431642/49ers-vs-rams-second-quarter-thread-there-will-be-points | 2022-10-30T22:46:40 | en | 0.990213 |
The 49ers' offense woke up in the second quarter as they scored on both of their possessions. They had an opportunity to score a touchdown, but a sack on second down and a Christian McCaffrey bobble on third down stalled a red zone drive.
The defense has been an issue, and that didn’t change on a nine-play, 75-yard drive in the second quarter. Cooper Kupp ended up getting matched up against Oren Burks. The play, as you might guess, resulted in a touchdown.
The Rams sat on the ball toward the end of the half with a timeout left and a minute to go. That might come back to haunt them as the 49ers get the ball to start the half. That was a mistake by Sean McVay with the way his offense has played.
Both offenses are having success. The Rams can’t run the ball, so the 49ers must find a way to get to Stafford. If they do, they’ll come out victorious. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/10/30/23431693/49ers-vs-rams-third-quarter-thread-the-defense-has-to-find-a-way-to-pressure-stafford | 2022-10-30T22:46:46 | en | 0.981165 |
The 49ers won the third quarter. But, more importantly, they prevented the Rams from scoring. The offense hasn’t had any issue moving the ball, and a Christian McCaffrey touchdown capped off another strong drive. Kyle Shanahan called a gem, and the protection held up for Garoppolo.
On the flip side, the Rams had 11 plays for 24 yards. The Niners ramped the pressure up, and Los Angeles being one-dimensional came back to bite them as the defensive line pinned its ears back. It seemed as though Nick Bosa might have had a fumble on a third down, but the play wasn’t reviewed.
The 49ers are driving and have a chance to score to open the fourth quarter. They’re on the 25-yard line. A touchdown would be nice and allow the pass rush to really get after Stafford.
After a tough first half, the 49ers' defense has a chance to keep the Rams in check. 23-14. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/10/30/23431818/49ers-vs-rams-4th-quarter-thread-f-i-n-i-s-h | 2022-10-30T22:46:52 | en | 0.982816 |
