KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals hired Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro as manager Sunday night, turning over the young core of a rebuilding franchise to a forward-thinking manager with experience winning in a small market.
Quatraro replaces Mike Matheny, who was fired as part of a wide-spread shakeup within the Royals after a 65-97 finish for their sixth straight losing season. Quatraro was chosen by Royals general manager J.J. Picollo, who took over as head of the club's baseball operations after the firing of longtime front-office executive Dayton Moore.
“We are extremely excited to have Matt leading our club and core of talent,” Picollo said in a statement. “Matt has great experiences throughout his career that have prepared him for this. He thoroughly impressed us all during our interview process and is clearly respected across the industry.”
The Royals interviewed their own bench coach, Pedro Grifol, along with third base coach Vance Wilson and Triple-A Omaha manager Scott Thorman. They also expressed interest in Los Angeles Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough and Boston Red Sox bench coach Will Venable, who have been linked to manager openings elsewhere.
One of the priorities that owner John Sherman had in overhauling the front office was that it lean more heavily on advanced analytics. And the 48-year-old Quatraro reflects that same emphasis in the manager; the Rays have excelled in using analytics to guide their decision-making, allowing them to consistently compete despite modest payrolls.
“I do think the managerial position has changed,” Picollo said. “You talk to players around the league, executives — there are things teams are doing that are pretty advanced. Our goal is to find out what those things are and implement them here.”
Tampa Bay has had five straight winning seasons while playing in the rugged AL East.
Quatraro, who interviewed for the Mets and A’s manager jobs last season, will take over one of the youngest teams in baseball, flush with up-and-coming talent such as AL rookie of the year candidate Bobby Witt Jr., catcher MJ Melendez and first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino. However, there is a dearth of pitching prospects across the organization.
"I’m grateful to Mr. Sherman and the ownership group, J.J. and the front office, and everyone else with the Royals for this opportunity,” Quatraro said. “I already knew the talent on the roster and how great the fans in Kansas City are, and the interview process convinced me that the terrific things I’d heard about the organization’s culture are true. I can’t wait to get started, and for my family to get to Kansas City and be part of that community.”
Quatraro starred as a college catcher at Old Dominion before the Rays chose him in the eighth round of the 1996 first-year player draft. And while he eventually reached the Triple-A level, Quatraro never appeared in a major league game.
After retiring as a player, Quatraro began working as an instructor in the Rays' minor league system. He started out as a hitting coach for Class A Hudson Valley but eventually rose to become the franchise's minor-league hitting coordinator.
He was hired by Cleveland as its assistant hitting coach in 2010, and worked alongside manager Terry Francona through the 2017 season — a period in which Sherman was a minority owner of the franchise.
Quatraro eventually returned to the Rays as their third base coach, and when Charlie Montoyo was hired as manager of the Blue Jays after the 2018 season, he was promoted to bench coach. He had served since as a sounding board for Rays manager Kevin Cash, helping the club win two division titles and make four straight playoff appearances.
The Rays were swept by the Guardians earlier this month in their AL wild-card series.
“J.J. and his staff designed and executed a rigorous process that revealed Matt to be the best leader for our club,” Sherman said. “Matt is widely respected throughout baseball with a proven record and tangible contributions in two organizations that built winning cultures through creativity and innovation. We are thrilled to welcome Matt, his wife Chris, and sons George and Leo to the Kansas City community.”

'I can't imagine a world without her': Daughter donates kidney to mother to save her life
Imagine having your life on the line and asking total strangers to save your life. That's what someone in need of an organ transplant does every day.
As a wife, mom and kindergarten teacher, Jackie Rothermich has had a full life. But last year, she needed someone to help save her life.
She recorded and posted a video to Facebook asking for someone to donate a kidney. She included a jingle like she often used in the classroom.
"All I want for Christmas is a new kidney. You could be a live donor and change things for me," she sang.
After 30 years of teaching, Jackie was diagnosed with kidney failure. Doctors said she had only months to find a donor.
"I was going through things, like okay, my will is in order. Who gets what, jewelry-wise? It was the scariest time of my life," she said.
No one would or could give in time. The family was now looking at hospice care.
Jackie's 26-year-old daughter Courtney Rothermich decided she wanted to donate.
"I can't imagine a world without her. I wasn't ready to imagine a world without her or a world where her quality of life was so different than what she had hoped for," Courtney said.
After months of testing, Courtney turned out to be a match. But her mother was hesitant. Courtney had her whole life ahead of her.
"I needed to know that she can have babies. She can bungee jump. She can do whatever she wants," Jackie said.
Reassured, the kidney transplant surgery was scheduled at AdventHealth Orlando.
"We were just excited. I mean, scared, scared to death, anxiety-ridden with, you know, it's a scary process," Courtney said.
Courtney said she wanted to give something of herself to the person who gave everything to her.
"I was a little bit out of it from the anesthesia, but my first thought was 'I want to see my mom,'" Courtney said.
"When you walked in, I could tell, 'oh my gosh, this is going to be okay,'" Jackie said.
There was no guarantee Jackie's body would accept the kidney, but doctors said Jackie almost immediately began healing.
"They don't take your kidneys out. They just add the extra in which is amazing. I named it Sydney the kidney," Jackie said.
Jackie had to quarantine after surgery with a suppressed immune system but she still found a way to thank her donor.
She had a surprise sign put up in her daughter’s yard: "My hero. My donor."
"I was afraid to live in a world without my mom. So if I could do something that could change that outcome for us, then why not now?" Courtney said.
Now, Courtney and Jackie still have their whole lives ahead of them.
"You are my Powerball. You get one chance in life to be lucky, and you were it. Thank you. I love you," Jackie said.
Jackie headed out of the house for the first time Thursday night since her surgery in July. Mom, dad and daughter went to see "Hamilton."
They hope their story inspires others to donate. | https://www.4029tv.com/article/daughter-donates-kidney-mother-orlando-florida/41809895 | 2022-10-31T00:02:19 | en | 0.992717 |

Ross Chastain's aggressive style hasn’t made a lot of friends in NASCAR’s top series. Now, he'll be contending for a championship because of that approach.
Chastain pinned his Chevrolet against the outside wall of the 0.526-mile Martinsville Speedway and was sailing at some 70 mph faster than the rest of the field, careening from 10th place to fifth on the final lap to give Trackhouse Racing its first championship appearance.
Christopher Bell won his way into NASCAR’s championship race while Chastain used a move more suited for a video game to also advance in Sunday’s thrilling regular-season finale.
Chastain credited his video game playing for the dramatic move on the final lap.
“Oh, played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube with (younger brother) Chad growing up,” he said. “You can get away with it. I never knew if it would actually work.
“I mean, I did that when I was eight years old. I grabbed fifth gear, asked off of two on the last lap if we needed it, and we did. I couldn’t tell who was leading. I made the choice, grabbed fifth gear down the back. Full committed. Basically let go of the wheel, hoping I didn’t catch the turn four access gate or something crazy. But I was willing to do it.”
Bell had to win to advance to the final four next week at Phoenix Raceway and he pulled it off to give Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota one spot in the finale. Bell also won on the Charlotte Motor Speedway road course in the final race of the second round of the playoffs, so has now twice advanced with victories.
But this win was different.
“Man, I say it all the time, but the driver is just a small piece of the puzzle for these races,” Bell said. "The reason why this car won today is because it was the best car on the racetrack. Adam Stevens, Tyler William, this entire 20 group, they just never give up. When our back is against the wall, looks like it’s over, they show up and give me the fastest car out here.
“I don’t know, man. Words can’t describe this feeling.”
The final four drivers in the Cup Series winner-take-all finale are Bell, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Chastain, who bumped foe Denny Hamlin from the championship with his spectacular last-lap scramble.
Hamlin, while disappointed, was impressed.
“Great move. Brilliant. Certainly a great move," he said of Chastain's tactic. "When you have no other choice, it certainly is easy to do that. But well executed,” he said.
Bell passed Chase Briscoe, who also needed to win to advance to the championship, with five laps to go to earn the automatic berth into the championship race. It was Bell who was caught in Bubba Wallace's retaliation of Kyle Larson at Las Vegas and Bell being collected in that crash dropped him to last of the eight drivers.
He knew since then it would take a victory for Bell to race for his first Cup title, and he pulled it off on NASCAR's oldest track.

Elon Musk tweets link to unfounded conspiracy theory days after purchase of Twitter
Video above: Fired Twitter worker fears for future of company
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."
Video below: Elon Musk Closes Deal to Buy Twitter and Fires Senior Leadership
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.4029tv.com/article/elon-musk-tweets-link-to-unfounded-conspiracy-theory-days-after-purchase-of-twitter/41812983 | 2022-10-31T00:02:29 | en | 0.972901 |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Justin Fields planted both feet inches from Micah Parsons, and bunny-hopped over the Dallas linebacker who had just recovered a fumble.
The Chicago quarterback wouldn't mind having that moment back.
“It was my fault for just hopping over him,” Fields said. “I should’ve tagged him.”
The Cowboys had the touchdown to prove it, a 36-yard return of David Montgomery's fumble by the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in the third quarter of a 49-29 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott sure thought Parsons was down, having seen the recovery but immediately heading toward offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to talk about the next series.
Except that Parsons got up, thinking he would be celebrating and instead hearing teammates telling him to run. He took off, stumbled near the goal line and rolled in the end zone to give Dallas a 42-23 lead.
Yes, this is the same Parsons who believes the speed in his dynamic pass-rushing ability translates to just about any skill position.
“Honestly, I'm like, 'Geez, I'm going hear this for a while about how he needs to run the ball or be on offense,'” Prescott said.
“I saw the fumble happen, thought it was down, I was running to talk to Kellen to figure out what was coming and then we looked at each other, 'I guess we're staying on the sideline.'”
Montgomery caught a pass, then lost the ball in the open field. Parsons won a race to the ball with safety Jayron Kearse. He had it corralled on all fours when Fields jumped over him.
“We’ve showed multiple times during the course of our situations tape that we show every Friday that you’ve got to touch guys down,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus said. “With every break there in the scrum, when you see that you’ve got to touch him down.”
Parsons is among the fastest players in NFL history to reach 20 sacks, and has already forced five fumbles thanks mostly to his penchant for getting to the quarterback.
His first career takeaway came with star running back Ezekiel Elliott sidelined by a right knee injury. It was also Parsons' first career TD.
“Zeke said I look just like him,” Parsons said. “I think I definitely deserve a rep now. They can’t say they haven’t seen it in the game. So hopefully I get thrown in on a goal-line package or red zone package.”
Fields and Parsons were workout buddies before the 2021 draft, then went one pick after the other starting with the former Ohio State QB at No. 11 to the Bears.
Now the fellow Big Ten alums (Parsons went to Penn State) are linked by one of the strangest plays of 2022.
“You’ve got to touch him, man,” Chicago right tackle Riley Reiff said. “I kind of had an angle at it. I tried making a play. Obviously, I’m not the most athletic guy out in space. But hats off to them.”
Like Prescott, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy knows what's coming.
“Obviously very excited, but part of me is annoyed because he wants to be on offense already now,” McCarthy said. “I’m going to have a hard time keeping him out of my office.”
Ah, but the coach already has his rebuttal.
“His ball security is awful,” McCarthy said. “So he still needs to focus on defense.”

HOUSTON (AP) — Derrick Henry dominated the Houston Texans again, running for 219 yards and two touchdowns to carry the Tennessee Titans to a 17-10 win on Sunday.
It was Henry’s fourth straight 200-yard game against the Texans, making him the first player in NFL history to have at least 150 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in four consecutive games against the same opponent. The 28-year-old has six 200-yard games in his career, tying O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson for the most in NFL history.
With rookie quarterback Malik Willis making his first start for the injured Ryan Tannehill, the AFC South-leading Titans (5-2) went to Henry early and often. He ripped off a season-long 41-yard run on his second carry of the game and never looked back against Houston’s NFL-worst run defense.
Henry had a season-high 32 carries and touchdown runs of 29 yards and 1 yard to help the Titans build a 14-3 lead.
The Titans were up by 14 when Davis Mills connected with rookie Dameon Pierce on a 3-yard touchdown pass that cut the lead to 17-10 with less than 30 seconds left in the game. But Tennessee recovered the onside kick to seal it.
Henry’s big day gives him 75 career touchdowns (72 rushing and three receiving), passing Eddie George for most TDs in franchise history.
Henry has run for 892 yards and nine touchdowns combined in his last four games against Houston. He missed both games against the Texans last year with a broken foot, making Sunday his first game against them since the finale of the 2020 season, when he ran for a career-best 250 yards to surpass 2,000 for the year.
The last-place Texans (1-5-1) weren’t just terrible on defense Sunday. They also couldn’t get anything going on offense and didn't crack 100 yards until late in the fourth quarter. They finished with 161 yards and were 2 of 14 on third down.
Mills was 17 of 29 for 152 yards with an interception and a touchdown, struggling more than usual with top receiver Nico Collins out with an injury.
Willis, who was the 86th pick in the draft, threw for 55 yards with an interception as Tannehill sat out for the first time since the seventh game of the 2019 season.
Henry put the Titans up 7-3 when he shed two defenders and stiff-armed another as he tumbled into the end zone on a 29-yard run with about four minutes left in the second quarter.
He pushed the lead to 14-3 when waltzed in on fourth-and-goal from the 1 midway through the third. Dontrell Hilliard had runs of 21 and 30 yards to set up that touchdown.
The Titans finished with 314 yards rushing as Hilliard added 83.
Steven Nelson intercepted Willis and returned it 34 yards to the Tennessee 11 early in the second quarter. But the Texans lost 13 yards on the ensuring drive and settled for a 43-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead.
Randy Bullock, who was 4 for 4 on field goals last week to win AFC special teams player of the week, missed a 48-yard attempt on Tennessee’s first drive.
Mills was intercepted by Kristian Fulton on Houston’s opening drive, but the Titans couldn’t take advantage of the error and had to punt.
Robert Woods fumbled a punt return in the first quarter, and the Texans recovered. It was the third fumble on a punt return for the Titans this season but the first by Woods.
The Texans couldn’t cash in on that mistake, either.
INJURIES
Tannehill missed the game with a sprained ankle and an illness. ... Titans S Amani Hooker injured his shoulder in the first quarter and didn’t return. ... Houston DB Grayland Arnold injured a quadriceps in the second half and didn't return. ... OL Justin McCray left in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion.
UP NEXT
Titans: Visit Kansas City next Sunday night.
Texans: Host undefeated Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Lula defeats Bolsonaro to become Brazil's president -- again
Brazil's electoral authority said Sunday that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the leftist Worker's Party defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro to become the country's next president.
With 98.8% of the votes tallied in the runoff vote, da Silva had 50.8% and Bolsonaro 49.2%, and the election authority said da Silva's victory was a mathematical certainty.
Da Silva — the country's former president from 2003-2010 — has promised to restore the country's more prosperous past, yet faces headwinds in a polarized society.
It is a stunning return to power for da Silva, 77, whose 2018 imprisonment over a corruption scandal sidelined him from that year's election, paving the way for then-candidate Bolsonaro's win and four years of far-right politics.
His victory marks the first time since Brazil's 1985 return to democracy that the sitting president has failed to win reelection. His inauguration is scheduled to take place on Jan. 1.
Thomas Traumann, an independent political analyst, compared the results to U.S. President Joe Biden's 2020 victory, saying da Silva is inheriting an extremely divided nation.
"The huge challenge that Lula has will be to pacify the country," he said. "People are not only polarized on political matters, but also have different values, identity and opinions. What's more, they don't care what the other side's values, identities and opinions are."
Bolsonaro had been leading throughout the first half of the count and, as soon as da Silva overtook him, cars in the streets of downtown Sao Paulo began honking their horns. People in the streets of Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema neighborhood could be heard shouting, "It turned!"
Da Silva's headquarters in downtown Sao Paulo hotel only erupted once the final result was announced, underscoring the tension that was a hallmark of this race.
"Four years waiting for this," said Gabriela Souto, one of the few supporters allowed in due to heavy security.
Outside Bolsonaro's home in Rio de Janeiro, ground-zero for his support base, a woman atop a truck delivered a prayer over a speaker, then sang excitedly, trying to generate some energy. But supporters decked out in the green and yellow of the flag barely responded. Many perked up when the national anthem played, singing along loudly with hands over their hearts.
Most opinion polls before the election gave a lead to da Silva, universally known as Lula, though political analysts agreed the race grew increasingly tight in recent weeks.
For months, it appeared that da Silva was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when Brazil's economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class.
But while da Silva topped the Oct. 2 first-round elections with 48% of the vote, Bolsonaro was a strong second at 43%, showing opinion polls significantly underestimated his popularity. Many Brazilians support Bolsonaro's defense of conservative social values and he shored up support in an election year with vast government spending.
Bolsonaro's administration has been marked by incendiary speech, his testing of democratic institutions, his widely criticized handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in 15 years. But he has built a devoted base by defending conservative values and presenting himself as protection from leftist policies that he says infringe on personal liberties and produce economic turmoil.
Da Silva is credited with building an extensive social welfare program during his 2003-2010 tenure that helped lift tens of millions into the middle class as well as presiding over an economic boom. The man universally known as Lula left office with an approval rating above 80%; then U.S. President Barack Obama called him "the most popular politician on Earth."
But he is also remembered for his administration's involvement in vast corruption revealed by sprawling investigations. Da Silva's arrest in 2018 kept him out of that year's race against Bolsonaro, a fringe lawmaker at the time who was an outspoken fan of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Da Silva was jailed for 580 days for corruption and money laundering. His convictions were later annulled by Brazil's top court, which ruled the presiding judge had been biased and colluded with prosecutors. That enabled da Silva to run for the nation's highest office for the sixth time.
For months, it appeared that he was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when the economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class. But results from an Oct. 2 first-round vote — da Silva got 48% and Bolsonaro 43% — showed opinion polls had significantly underestimated Bolsonaro's resilience and popularity. He shored up support, in part, with vast government spending.
Da Silva has pledged to boost spending on the poor, reestablish relationships with foreign governments and take bold action to eliminate illegal clear-cutting in the Amazon rainforest.
He hasn't provided specific plans on how he will achieve those goals, and faces many challenges. The president-elect will be confronted by strong opposition from conservative lawmakers likely to take their cues from Bolsonaro.
Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo, compared the likely political climate to that experienced by former President Dilma Rousseff, da Silva's hand-picked successor after his second term.
"Lula's victory means Brazil is trying to overcome years of turbulence since the reelection of President Dilma Rousseff in 2014. That election never ended; the opposition asked for a recount, she governed under pressure and was impeached two years later," said Melo. "The divide became huge and then made Bolsonaro."
Unemployment this year has fallen to its lowest level since 2015 and, although overall inflation has slowed during the campaign, food prices are increasing at a double-digit rate. Bolsonaro's welfare payments helped many Brazilians get by, but da Silva has been presenting himself as the candidate more willing to sustain aid going forward and raise the minimum wage.
Da Silva has also pledged to put a halt to illegal deforestation in the Amazon, and once again has prominent environmentalalist Marina Silva by his side, years after a public falling out when she was his environment minister. The president-elect has already pledged to install a ministry for Brazil's orginal peoples, which will be run by an Indigenous person.
In April, he tapped center-right Geraldo Alckmin, a former rival, to be his running mate. It was another key part of an effort to create a broad, pro-democracy front to not just unseat Bolsonaro, but to make it easier to govern. Da Silva mended also has drawn support from Sen. Simone Tebet, a moderate who finished in third place in the election's first round.
"If Lula manages to talk to voters who didn't vote for him, which Bolsonaro never tried, and seeks negotiated solutions to the economic, social and political crisis we have, and links with other nations that were lost, then he could reconnect Brazil to a time in which people could disagree and still get some things done," Melo said.
The highly polarized election in Brazil, the biggest economy in Latin America, extended a wave of recent leftist victories in South America, including Chile, Colombia and Argentina.

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.

Man accused of attacking Nancy Pelosi's husband carried zip ties, AP source says
The man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband carried zip ties with him when he broke into the couple's San Francisco home, according to a person briefed on the investigation, in what is the latest parallel to the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021.
The person was not authorized to publicly discuss the Pelosi case and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday.
The attack on the Democratic leader's 82-year-old husband, Paul Pelosi, less than two weeks before the Nov. 8 election that will determine control of Congress as well as key statewide and local offices, was an unsettling reminder of the nation's toxic political climate. With threats to public officials at an all-time high, members of Congress were being urged to reach out for additional security resources, including increased police patrols of their neighborhoods.
U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger said in a weekend memo to lawmakers that the attack "is a somber reminder of the threats elected officials and families face in 2022."
Police in San Francisco said the assault of Paul Pelosi was intentional. Authorities said the suspect, identified as David DePape, 42, confronted Paul Pelosi in the family's Pacific Heights home early Friday and, the AP has reported, demanded to know, "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.
Eerie echoes of the Jan. 6 riot were apparent in the incident at the Pelosi home.
Rioters who swarmed the Capitol trying to overturn Joe Biden's election victory over Donald Trump roamed the halls and shouted menacingly, demanding "Where's Nancy?" Some in the siege were seen inside the Capitol carrying zip ties. The presence of the zip ties on the suspect in Paul Pelosi's assault was first reported by CNN.
Nancy Pelosi was in Washington when her husband was attacked at home. She soon returned to San Francisco, where her husband was hospitalized. He had surgery for a skull fracture, and suffered other injuries to his arms and hands, her office said.
"Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop," she said in a letter late Saturday to colleagues. "We are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and emergency services, and for the life-saving medical care he is receiving."
Paul Pelosi remains hospitalized and "continues to improve," she told colleagues.
With Election Day nearing and Trump relentlessly promoting claims he did not lose to Biden in 2020, federal agencies warned on Friday that domestic extremists fueled by election falsehoods "pose a heightened threat" to the midterms. The Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies said the greatest danger was "posed by lone offenders who leverage election-related issues to justify violence."
Biden and other officials, Democrats and Republicans, condemned the attack on Paul Pelosi and said violence has no home in American politics.
"Enough is enough is enough," Biden said while campaigning in Pennsylvania on Friday night.
Trump, in an interview taped Friday with Americano Media, a conservative Spanish-language network, called the attack on Paul Pelosi a "terrible thing," but the former president also tried to link it to crime in U.S. cities.
For years, Republicans have tried to make Pelosi a campaign boogeyman, using the 82-year-old's image as a recurring caricature in countless ads against Democrats, including many now airing in races nationwide during a hostile election season.
The head of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, said Sunday it was "unfair" to blame the GOP for creating a political climate that could have laid the ground for such an attack.
"You can't say people saying, 'Let's fire Pelosi' or 'Let's take back the House" is saying go do violence," she told "Fox News Sunday."
The House GOP's campaign chief, Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer, was asked during a Sunday interview about a tweet promoting his own video, which shows him shooting a gun at an indoor target.
"Enjoyed exercising my Second Amendment rights," Emmer tweeted, mentioning he was with two House GOP candidates. The video includes the imagery and sounds of the rifle being fired. The tweet was posted Wednesday, before Paul Pelosi was assaulted, and said: "13 days to make history. Let's #FirePelosi."
Emmer said on CBS' "Face the Nation" that he was just "exercising our Second Amendment rights, having fun."
Both McDaniel and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California said Paul Pelosi's assailant was "deranged."
McCarthy said on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures" that violence or the threat of violence "has no place in our society."
Five years ago, a left-wing activist opened fire on Republicans as they practiced for an annual charity baseball game. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana was critically wounded. In 2011, then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot in the head at an event outside a Tucson grocery store.
Elon Musk jumped into the debate Sunday tweeting, then deleting, a link to a fringe website with an unfounded rumor about the attack on Speaker Pelosi's husband. Sent to his millions of followers, Musk's tweet came just days after his purchase of Twitter fueled concerns that the social media platform would no longer seek to limit misinformation and hate speech.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who leads the Senate committee overseeing security at the Capitol, said lawmakers are considering new measures, including taking their private information off the internet.
Klobuchar, D-Minn., noted, however that Nancy Pelosi "has been villainized for years and, big surprise, it's gone viral, and it went violent."
"I think it is really important that people realize that it is not just this moment of this horrific attack, but that we have seen violence perpetrated throughout our political system," Klobuchar told NBC's "Meet the Press."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Christian McCaffrey became the 11th player in NFL history with a rushing touchdown, a passing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in one game, and the San Francisco 49ers extended their regular-season mastery over the Rams to four full years with a 31-14 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday.
McCaffrey threw a 34-yard TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk in the first half, caught a TD pass from Jimmy Garoppolo in the third quarter and then put the Niners (4-4) in control with a TD run early in the fourth.
Garoppolo passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns as San Francisco scored 24 unanswered points to finish its eighth consecutive regular-season victory over its NFC West rivals.
McCaffrey finished with 94 yards rushing and 55 yards receiving. LaDainian Tomlinson was the last player with rushing, passing and receiving TDs in the same game, doing it for San Diego back in 2005.
The 49ers outbid the Rams (3-4) last week in a trade for McCaffrey’s services, and the versatile running back showed Los Angeles exactly what it missed. The Rams actually were burned by McCaffrey for the second straight game, since he piled up 158 total yards for the Panthers during the Rams’ win over Carolina in LA's final game before its bye.
After trailing 14-10 at halftime despite McCaffrey's 34-yard TD pass, the 49ers reclaimed the lead late in the third quarter with an 88-yard drive capped by McCaffrey’s artful TD catch down the sideline. McCaffrey then made a 24-yard run followed by a 1-yard score with 12:07 to play, and George Kittle made a late TD catch to seal the Niners' latest humiliation of the Rams despite the injury absence of star Deebo Samuel.
Los Angeles narrowly beat San Francisco in the NFC championship game at SoFi Stadium exactly nine months ago, but the Niners have won every other meeting since 2018.
Matthew Stafford passed for 187 yards and scored his first rushing touchdown since 2016 for the defending Super Bowl champion Rams (3-4), who are under .500 for the third time — all occurring this season — in coach Sean McVay’s career. Los Angeles managed 43 net yards in the second half while getting shut out after halftime for the third time already this season.
McVay has lost nine of his 13 matchups with Kyle Shanahan, his former co-worker in Washington, since they got their current jobs one month apart in 2017. Shanahan got nearly 21% of his 43 career regular-season victories when coaching against McVay.
Cooper Kupp had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown, but the Rams All-Pro left the field gingerly after an awkward tackle with 1:02 to play.
The Rams scored first when Stafford's 1-yard run capped a 17-play, 88-yard drive consuming 9:21.
The Niners tied it a few minutes later on McCaffrey's TD pass off a fake screen. Samuel threw a TD pass against the Rams last season.
INJURIES
Four key starters were inactive for the Niners: Samuel, DT Arik Armstead, FB Kyle Juszczyk and LB Dre Greenlaw.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee injured his neck while making a catch in the first quarter, but returned in the second. He made an egregious drop in the fourth quarter. ... WR Van Jefferson was not targeted in his season debut after having knee surgery early in training camp.
UP NEXT
49ers: Bye week.
Rams: At Buccaneers on Sunday.

SEATTLE (AP) — Tyler Lockett caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith with 9:18 left, and the Seattle Seahawks won their third straight, 27-13 over the New York Giants on Sunday.
The only matchup of teams with winning records in the NFL this week was a slugfest until the fourth quarter, when Lockett made up for two big mistakes earlier in the game and Seattle rookie running back Kenneth Walker III finally broke free, helping the surprising Seahawks (5-3) stay atop the NFC West.
New York (6-2) saw its four-game win streak snapped entering its bye week and lost ground to undefeated Philadelphia in the NFC East — largely because the Seahawks corralled Saquon Barkley, who was held to a season-low 53 yards on 20 carries and had three catches for 9 yards.
Lockett hauled in a short pass at the 3-yard line in the first half, but Adoree’ Jackson forced and recovered a fumble, leading to a 1-yard TD run from Barkley. Late in the third quarter, Lockett was free behind the Giants secondary but dropped what would have been a 33-yard touchdown.
Given another chance on Seattle’s next drive, Lockett came through. First he made a solid 12-yard catch. Then he made a stutter-and-go move on Jackson and flashed open down the sideline. Smith’s throw was on target for the touchdown and a 20-13 Seattle lead.
Seattle added insurance with 5:22 left thanks to Walker. New York’s Richie James fumbled his second punt return of the game, giving Seattle the ball at the Giants 32. Two plays later, Walker reversed his field, broke tackles and scooted 16 yards for the clinching touchdown.
Walker finished with 51 yards on 18 carries. Smith was 23 of 34 for 212 yards and two touchdowns, including a 3-yard TD pass to DK Metcalf in the second quarter. Smith was 5 for 5 for 75 yards on the drive capped by Lockett’s scoring catch. Both Lockett (hamstring/oblique) and Metcalf (knee) were questionable entering the game.
Barkley entered the week leading the NFL in yards from scrimmage and was second in yards rushing. His previous season low on the ground was 70 yards against Green Bay. But he struggled against a Seahawks defense that gave up 235 yards rushing to New Orleans less than a month ago.
The lack of a run game put pressure on Daniel Jones, who avoided big mistakes but didn’t make any big plays through the air. Jones was 17 of 31 for 176 yards and was sacked five times.
COACHING RANKS
Seattle coach Pete Carroll tied Bud Grant for 18th on the all-time victory list with 168, including playoffs.
Carroll was also penalized for sideline interference late in the fourth quarter when he collided with an official. Referee Jerome Boger inadvertently announced the penalty as being against the “Seattle Mariners.”
INJURIES
New York lost defensive lineman Nick Williams in the first quarter to a biceps injury and James was ruled out with a concussion after he hit the back of his head on the turf after his second fumble. Seattle played nearly the entire game without pass rusher Darrell Taylor due to a hip injury, and versatile safety Ryan Neal limped off in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury.
UP NEXT
Giants: After a bye, New York hosts Houston on Nov. 13.
Seahawks: At Arizona next Sunday.

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.

It appeared things might actually be different for the New York Jets this time around.
They got off to a solid start against the New England Patriots in front of a raucous, jam-packed stadium rooting on their team to finally beat Bill Belichick's bunch for the first time in years.
It turned out to be the same old story.
Zach Wilson was intercepted three times, and the Jets dropped their 13th straight to the Patriots, 22-17 on Sunday.
“We've got to do better with the ball,” coach Robert Saleh said. “This is a team that feasts on your mistakes and if you're just off by a hair, you're going to pay for it. So, just collectively, all of us, we've got to be better with the ball.”
Especially Wilson, whose miscues against the Patriots were a major reason for the end of the Jets' four-game win streak.
"I need to play better," Wilson said.
Indeed.
The second-year quarterback is still in the progress phase of his development, with the Jets (5-3) looking to see him take clear steps forward and establish himself as the guy who'll lead the franchise for years. Well, Sunday was a major step backward.
Wilson had the first 300-yard passing game of his career, going 20 of 41 for 355 yards and two touchdowns to Tyler Conklin. But the three interceptions might raise some more questions about the quarterback.
“We have faith in Z,” Saleh insisted. “He’s played good football. He has taken care of the football since he’s gotten back. He has shown flashes of good football, so everyone in the locker room still has his back.”
But for how much longer?
Helped by an unnecessary roughness call on Jabrill Peppers, the Jets quickly got into Patriots territory on their first possession of the second quarter. Wilson capped the drive with an 8-yarder to Conklin for a 10-3 lead — Wilson's first TD pass in four games.
But Wilson also was intercepted for the first time in four games shortly before halftime when his pass floated into the hands of Ja’Whuan Bentley, giving the Patriots the ball at the Jets 40.
It appeared Mac Jones gave it right back to the Jets when Michael Carter II intercepted him and returned it for a touchdown — but it was wiped out by a roughing-the-passer call on John Franklin-Myers. It ended up being a momentum-changing sequence or the Jets.
“Ten-point swing,” Saleh said. “It ended up being 17 if you count what happened in the second half. It was a costly penalty.”
The Patriots ended up getting points on the drive, cutting the deficit to 10-6 on Nick Folk’s 42-yarder as time expired in the half.
New England (4-4) started with the ball to open the third quarter and scored a go-ahead touchdown on Jones' 5-yard pass to Jakobi Meyers.
“They had the good drive coming out,” Saleh said. “Credit to them. Other than that, I didn’t feel like they were able to do what they wanted from a defensive standpoint. Offensively, we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot and not allowing ourselves to continue drives and stack together consecutive good plays.”
Greg Zuerlein missed a potential tying 45-yard field goal on the Jets' first possession of the second half and the Patriots added two more field goals to take a 19-10 lead.
Then Wilson was intercepted by Devin McCourty on consecutive drives.
“I just had two bone-headed plays,” Wilson said. "The second interception (the first by McCourty), I really meant to throw that ball away. ... And then the last one, I really just wanted to make a play instead of coming off the field and I can’t do that.
“I put my defense in a bad situation there.”
It was Wilson's first start in a loss this season after he missed the first three games with a knee injury. He rallied New York to a comeback win at Pittsburgh in his season debut, but his play was far from spectacular in the three wins that followed.
Wilson was operating more like a game manager than a game changer who can carry an offense. That was by design, in large part, while New York went up against some tough defenses with Miami, Green Bay and Denver.
New England was another rough opponent for a young quarterback. And Wilson and the Jets were done in by his inability to prevent mistakes.
“We just have to rally around him,” Saleh said. “Coaches, we need to find a way to make it not necessarily simpler, but just help him continue to progress and evolve. He is still a young man. Playing quarterback in this league is not easy. Collectively, we have to do better for him.”

'I can't imagine a world without her': Daughter donates kidney to mother to save her life
Imagine having your life on the line and asking total strangers to save your life. That's what someone in need of an organ transplant does every day.
As a wife, mom and kindergarten teacher, Jackie Rothermich has had a full life. But last year, she needed someone to help save her life.
She recorded and posted a video to Facebook asking for someone to donate a kidney. She included a jingle like she often used in the classroom.
"All I want for Christmas is a new kidney. You could be a live donor and change things for me," she sang.
After 30 years of teaching, Jackie was diagnosed with kidney failure. Doctors said she had only months to find a donor.
"I was going through things, like okay, my will is in order. Who gets what, jewelry-wise? It was the scariest time of my life," she said.
No one would or could give in time. The family was now looking at hospice care.
Jackie's 26-year-old daughter Courtney Rothermich decided she wanted to donate.
"I can't imagine a world without her. I wasn't ready to imagine a world without her or a world where her quality of life was so different than what she had hoped for," Courtney said.
After months of testing, Courtney turned out to be a match. But her mother was hesitant. Courtney had her whole life ahead of her.
"I needed to know that she can have babies. She can bungee jump. She can do whatever she wants," Jackie said.
Reassured, the kidney transplant surgery was scheduled at AdventHealth Orlando.
"We were just excited. I mean, scared, scared to death, anxiety-ridden with, you know, it's a scary process," Courtney said.
Courtney said she wanted to give something of herself to the person who gave everything to her.
"I was a little bit out of it from the anesthesia, but my first thought was 'I want to see my mom,'" Courtney said.
"When you walked in, I could tell, 'oh my gosh, this is going to be okay,'" Jackie said.
There was no guarantee Jackie's body would accept the kidney, but doctors said Jackie almost immediately began healing.
"They don't take your kidneys out. They just add the extra in which is amazing. I named it Sydney the kidney," Jackie said.
Jackie had to quarantine after surgery with a suppressed immune system but she still found a way to thank her donor.
She had a surprise sign put up in her daughter’s yard: "My hero. My donor."
"I was afraid to live in a world without my mom. So if I could do something that could change that outcome for us, then why not now?" Courtney said.
Now, Courtney and Jackie still have their whole lives ahead of them.
"You are my Powerball. You get one chance in life to be lucky, and you were it. Thank you. I love you," Jackie said.
Jackie headed out of the house for the first time Thursday night since her surgery in July. Mom, dad and daughter went to see "Hamilton."
They hope their story inspires others to donate. | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/daughter-donates-kidney-mother-orlando-florida/41809895 | 2022-10-31T00:03:29 | en | 0.992717 |

Elon Musk tweets link to unfounded conspiracy theory days after purchase of Twitter
Video above: Fired Twitter worker fears for future of company
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."
Video below: Elon Musk Closes Deal to Buy Twitter and Fires Senior Leadership
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.
Video below: Musk reportedly wants 75% cut to Twitter workforce
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.wbaltv.com/article/elon-musk-tweets-link-to-unfounded-conspiracy-theory-days-after-purchase-of-twitter/41812983 | 2022-10-31T00:03:39 | en | 0.972901 |

Lula defeats Bolsonaro to become Brazil's president -- again
Brazil's electoral authority said Sunday that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the leftist Worker's Party defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro to become the country's next president.
With 98.8% of the votes tallied in the runoff vote, da Silva had 50.8% and Bolsonaro 49.2%, and the election authority said da Silva's victory was a mathematical certainty.
Da Silva — the country's former president from 2003-2010 — has promised to restore the country's more prosperous past, yet faces headwinds in a polarized society.
It is a stunning return to power for da Silva, 77, whose 2018 imprisonment over a corruption scandal sidelined him from that year's election, paving the way for then-candidate Bolsonaro's win and four years of far-right politics.
His victory marks the first time since Brazil's 1985 return to democracy that the sitting president has failed to win reelection. His inauguration is scheduled to take place on Jan. 1.
Thomas Traumann, an independent political analyst, compared the results to U.S. President Joe Biden's 2020 victory, saying da Silva is inheriting an extremely divided nation.
"The huge challenge that Lula has will be to pacify the country," he said. "People are not only polarized on political matters, but also have different values, identity and opinions. What's more, they don't care what the other side's values, identities and opinions are."
Bolsonaro had been leading throughout the first half of the count and, as soon as da Silva overtook him, cars in the streets of downtown Sao Paulo began honking their horns. People in the streets of Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema neighborhood could be heard shouting, "It turned!"
Da Silva's headquarters in downtown Sao Paulo hotel only erupted once the final result was announced, underscoring the tension that was a hallmark of this race.
"Four years waiting for this," said Gabriela Souto, one of the few supporters allowed in due to heavy security.
Outside Bolsonaro's home in Rio de Janeiro, ground-zero for his support base, a woman atop a truck delivered a prayer over a speaker, then sang excitedly, trying to generate some energy. But supporters decked out in the green and yellow of the flag barely responded. Many perked up when the national anthem played, singing along loudly with hands over their hearts.
Most opinion polls before the election gave a lead to da Silva, universally known as Lula, though political analysts agreed the race grew increasingly tight in recent weeks.
For months, it appeared that da Silva was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when Brazil's economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class.
But while da Silva topped the Oct. 2 first-round elections with 48% of the vote, Bolsonaro was a strong second at 43%, showing opinion polls significantly underestimated his popularity. Many Brazilians support Bolsonaro's defense of conservative social values and he shored up support in an election year with vast government spending.
Bolsonaro's administration has been marked by incendiary speech, his testing of democratic institutions, his widely criticized handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in 15 years. But he has built a devoted base by defending conservative values and presenting himself as protection from leftist policies that he says infringe on personal liberties and produce economic turmoil.
Da Silva is credited with building an extensive social welfare program during his 2003-2010 tenure that helped lift tens of millions into the middle class as well as presiding over an economic boom. The man universally known as Lula left office with an approval rating above 80%; then U.S. President Barack Obama called him "the most popular politician on Earth."
But he is also remembered for his administration's involvement in vast corruption revealed by sprawling investigations. Da Silva's arrest in 2018 kept him out of that year's race against Bolsonaro, a fringe lawmaker at the time who was an outspoken fan of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Da Silva was jailed for 580 days for corruption and money laundering. His convictions were later annulled by Brazil's top court, which ruled the presiding judge had been biased and colluded with prosecutors. That enabled da Silva to run for the nation's highest office for the sixth time.
For months, it appeared that he was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when the economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class. But results from an Oct. 2 first-round vote — da Silva got 48% and Bolsonaro 43% — showed opinion polls had significantly underestimated Bolsonaro's resilience and popularity. He shored up support, in part, with vast government spending.
Da Silva has pledged to boost spending on the poor, reestablish relationships with foreign governments and take bold action to eliminate illegal clear-cutting in the Amazon rainforest.
He hasn't provided specific plans on how he will achieve those goals, and faces many challenges. The president-elect will be confronted by strong opposition from conservative lawmakers likely to take their cues from Bolsonaro.
Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo, compared the likely political climate to that experienced by former President Dilma Rousseff, da Silva's hand-picked successor after his second term.
"Lula's victory means Brazil is trying to overcome years of turbulence since the reelection of President Dilma Rousseff in 2014. That election never ended; the opposition asked for a recount, she governed under pressure and was impeached two years later," said Melo. "The divide became huge and then made Bolsonaro."
Unemployment this year has fallen to its lowest level since 2015 and, although overall inflation has slowed during the campaign, food prices are increasing at a double-digit rate. Bolsonaro's welfare payments helped many Brazilians get by, but da Silva has been presenting himself as the candidate more willing to sustain aid going forward and raise the minimum wage.
Da Silva has also pledged to put a halt to illegal deforestation in the Amazon, and once again has prominent environmentalalist Marina Silva by his side, years after a public falling out when she was his environment minister. The president-elect has already pledged to install a ministry for Brazil's orginal peoples, which will be run by an Indigenous person.
In April, he tapped center-right Geraldo Alckmin, a former rival, to be his running mate. It was another key part of an effort to create a broad, pro-democracy front to not just unseat Bolsonaro, but to make it easier to govern. Da Silva mended also has drawn support from Sen. Simone Tebet, a moderate who finished in third place in the election's first round.
"If Lula manages to talk to voters who didn't vote for him, which Bolsonaro never tried, and seeks negotiated solutions to the economic, social and political crisis we have, and links with other nations that were lost, then he could reconnect Brazil to a time in which people could disagree and still get some things done," Melo said.
The highly polarized election in Brazil, the biggest economy in Latin America, extended a wave of recent leftist victories in South America, including Chile, Colombia and Argentina.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals hired Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro as manager Sunday night, turning over the young core of a rebuilding franchise to a forward-thinking manager with experience winning in a small market.
Quatraro replaces Mike Matheny, who was fired as part of a wide-spread shakeup within the Royals after a 65-97 finish for their sixth straight losing season. Quatraro was chosen by Royals general manager J.J. Picollo, who took over as head of the club's baseball operations after the firing of longtime front-office executive Dayton Moore.
“We are extremely excited to have Matt leading our club and core of talent,” Picollo said in a statement. “Matt has great experiences throughout his career that have prepared him for this. He thoroughly impressed us all during our interview process and is clearly respected across the industry.”
The Royals interviewed their own bench coach, Pedro Grifol, along with third base coach Vance Wilson and Triple-A Omaha manager Scott Thorman. They also expressed interest in Los Angeles Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough and Boston Red Sox bench coach Will Venable, who have been linked to manager openings elsewhere.
One of the priorities that owner John Sherman had in overhauling the front office was that it lean more heavily on advanced analytics. And the 48-year-old Quatraro reflects that same emphasis in the manager; the Rays have excelled in using analytics to guide their decision-making, allowing them to consistently compete despite modest payrolls.
“I do think the managerial position has changed,” Picollo said. “You talk to players around the league, executives — there are things teams are doing that are pretty advanced. Our goal is to find out what those things are and implement them here.”
Tampa Bay has had five straight winning seasons while playing in the rugged AL East.
Quatraro, who interviewed for the Mets and A’s manager jobs last season, will take over one of the youngest teams in baseball, flush with up-and-coming talent such as AL rookie of the year candidate Bobby Witt Jr., catcher MJ Melendez and first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino. However, there is a dearth of pitching prospects across the organization.
"I’m grateful to Mr. Sherman and the ownership group, J.J. and the front office, and everyone else with the Royals for this opportunity,” Quatraro said. “I already knew the talent on the roster and how great the fans in Kansas City are, and the interview process convinced me that the terrific things I’d heard about the organization’s culture are true. I can’t wait to get started, and for my family to get to Kansas City and be part of that community.”
Quatraro starred as a college catcher at Old Dominion before the Rays chose him in the eighth round of the 1996 first-year player draft. And while he eventually reached the Triple-A level, Quatraro never appeared in a major league game.
After retiring as a player, Quatraro began working as an instructor in the Rays' minor league system. He started out as a hitting coach for Class A Hudson Valley but eventually rose to become the franchise's minor-league hitting coordinator.
He was hired by Cleveland as its assistant hitting coach in 2010, and worked alongside manager Terry Francona through the 2017 season — a period in which Sherman was a minority owner of the franchise.
Quatraro eventually returned to the Rays as their third base coach, and when Charlie Montoyo was hired as manager of the Blue Jays after the 2018 season, he was promoted to bench coach. He had served since as a sounding board for Rays manager Kevin Cash, helping the club win two division titles and make four straight playoff appearances.
The Rays were swept by the Guardians earlier this month in their AL wild-card series.
“J.J. and his staff designed and executed a rigorous process that revealed Matt to be the best leader for our club,” Sherman said. “Matt is widely respected throughout baseball with a proven record and tangible contributions in two organizations that built winning cultures through creativity and innovation. We are thrilled to welcome Matt, his wife Chris, and sons George and Leo to the Kansas City community.”

Ross Chastain's aggressive style hasn’t made a lot of friends in NASCAR’s top series. Now, he'll be contending for a championship because of that approach.
Chastain pinned his Chevrolet against the outside wall of the 0.526-mile Martinsville Speedway and was sailing at some 70 mph faster than the rest of the field, careening from 10th place to fifth on the final lap to give Trackhouse Racing its first championship appearance.
Christopher Bell won his way into NASCAR’s championship race while Chastain used a move more suited for a video game to also advance in Sunday’s thrilling regular-season finale.
Chastain credited his video game playing for the dramatic move on the final lap.
“Oh, played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube with (younger brother) Chad growing up,” he said. “You can get away with it. I never knew if it would actually work.
“I mean, I did that when I was eight years old. I grabbed fifth gear, asked off of two on the last lap if we needed it, and we did. I couldn’t tell who was leading. I made the choice, grabbed fifth gear down the back. Full committed. Basically let go of the wheel, hoping I didn’t catch the turn four access gate or something crazy. But I was willing to do it.”
Bell had to win to advance to the final four next week at Phoenix Raceway and he pulled it off to give Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota one spot in the finale. Bell also won on the Charlotte Motor Speedway road course in the final race of the second round of the playoffs, so has now twice advanced with victories.
But this win was different.
“Man, I say it all the time, but the driver is just a small piece of the puzzle for these races,” Bell said. "The reason why this car won today is because it was the best car on the racetrack. Adam Stevens, Tyler William, this entire 20 group, they just never give up. When our back is against the wall, looks like it’s over, they show up and give me the fastest car out here.
“I don’t know, man. Words can’t describe this feeling.”
The final four drivers in the Cup Series winner-take-all finale are Bell, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Chastain, who bumped foe Denny Hamlin from the championship with his spectacular last-lap scramble.
Hamlin, while disappointed, was impressed.
“Great move. Brilliant. Certainly a great move," he said of Chastain's tactic. "When you have no other choice, it certainly is easy to do that. But well executed,” he said.
Bell passed Chase Briscoe, who also needed to win to advance to the championship, with five laps to go to earn the automatic berth into the championship race. It was Bell who was caught in Bubba Wallace's retaliation of Kyle Larson at Las Vegas and Bell being collected in that crash dropped him to last of the eight drivers.
He knew since then it would take a victory for Bell to race for his first Cup title, and he pulled it off on NASCAR's oldest track.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Justin Fields planted both feet inches from Micah Parsons, and bunny-hopped over the Dallas linebacker who had just recovered a fumble.
The Chicago quarterback wouldn't mind having that moment back.
“It was my fault for just hopping over him,” Fields said. “I should’ve tagged him.”
The Cowboys had the touchdown to prove it, a 36-yard return of David Montgomery's fumble by the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in the third quarter of a 49-29 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott sure thought Parsons was down, having seen the recovery but immediately heading toward offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to talk about the next series.
Except that Parsons got up, thinking he would be celebrating and instead hearing teammates telling him to run. He took off, stumbled near the goal line and rolled in the end zone to give Dallas a 42-23 lead.
Yes, this is the same Parsons who believes the speed in his dynamic pass-rushing ability translates to just about any skill position.
“Honestly, I'm like, 'Geez, I'm going hear this for a while about how he needs to run the ball or be on offense,'” Prescott said.
“I saw the fumble happen, thought it was down, I was running to talk to Kellen to figure out what was coming and then we looked at each other, 'I guess we're staying on the sideline.'”
Montgomery caught a pass, then lost the ball in the open field. Parsons won a race to the ball with safety Jayron Kearse. He had it corralled on all fours when Fields jumped over him.
“We’ve showed multiple times during the course of our situations tape that we show every Friday that you’ve got to touch guys down,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus said. “With every break there in the scrum, when you see that you’ve got to touch him down.”
Parsons is among the fastest players in NFL history to reach 20 sacks, and has already forced five fumbles thanks mostly to his penchant for getting to the quarterback.
His first career takeaway came with star running back Ezekiel Elliott sidelined by a right knee injury. It was also Parsons' first career TD.
“Zeke said I look just like him,” Parsons said. “I think I definitely deserve a rep now. They can’t say they haven’t seen it in the game. So hopefully I get thrown in on a goal-line package or red zone package.”
Fields and Parsons were workout buddies before the 2021 draft, then went one pick after the other starting with the former Ohio State QB at No. 11 to the Bears.
Now the fellow Big Ten alums (Parsons went to Penn State) are linked by one of the strangest plays of 2022.
“You’ve got to touch him, man,” Chicago right tackle Riley Reiff said. “I kind of had an angle at it. I tried making a play. Obviously, I’m not the most athletic guy out in space. But hats off to them.”
Like Prescott, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy knows what's coming.
“Obviously very excited, but part of me is annoyed because he wants to be on offense already now,” McCarthy said. “I’m going to have a hard time keeping him out of my office.”
Ah, but the coach already has his rebuttal.
“His ball security is awful,” McCarthy said. “So he still needs to focus on defense.”

HOUSTON (AP) — Derrick Henry dominated the Houston Texans again, running for 219 yards and two touchdowns to carry the Tennessee Titans to a 17-10 win on Sunday.
It was Henry’s fourth straight 200-yard game against the Texans, making him the first player in NFL history to have at least 150 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in four consecutive games against the same opponent. The 28-year-old has six 200-yard games in his career, tying O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson for the most in NFL history.
With rookie quarterback Malik Willis making his first start for the injured Ryan Tannehill, the AFC South-leading Titans (5-2) went to Henry early and often. He ripped off a season-long 41-yard run on his second carry of the game and never looked back against Houston’s NFL-worst run defense.
Henry had a season-high 32 carries and touchdown runs of 29 yards and 1 yard to help the Titans build a 14-3 lead.
The Titans were up by 14 when Davis Mills connected with rookie Dameon Pierce on a 3-yard touchdown pass that cut the lead to 17-10 with less than 30 seconds left in the game. But Tennessee recovered the onside kick to seal it.
Henry’s big day gives him 75 career touchdowns (72 rushing and three receiving), passing Eddie George for most TDs in franchise history.
Henry has run for 892 yards and nine touchdowns combined in his last four games against Houston. He missed both games against the Texans last year with a broken foot, making Sunday his first game against them since the finale of the 2020 season, when he ran for a career-best 250 yards to surpass 2,000 for the year.
The last-place Texans (1-5-1) weren’t just terrible on defense Sunday. They also couldn’t get anything going on offense and didn't crack 100 yards until late in the fourth quarter. They finished with 161 yards and were 2 of 14 on third down.
Mills was 17 of 29 for 152 yards with an interception and a touchdown, struggling more than usual with top receiver Nico Collins out with an injury.
Willis, who was the 86th pick in the draft, threw for 55 yards with an interception as Tannehill sat out for the first time since the seventh game of the 2019 season.
Henry put the Titans up 7-3 when he shed two defenders and stiff-armed another as he tumbled into the end zone on a 29-yard run with about four minutes left in the second quarter.
He pushed the lead to 14-3 when waltzed in on fourth-and-goal from the 1 midway through the third. Dontrell Hilliard had runs of 21 and 30 yards to set up that touchdown.
The Titans finished with 314 yards rushing as Hilliard added 83.
Steven Nelson intercepted Willis and returned it 34 yards to the Tennessee 11 early in the second quarter. But the Texans lost 13 yards on the ensuring drive and settled for a 43-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead.
Randy Bullock, who was 4 for 4 on field goals last week to win AFC special teams player of the week, missed a 48-yard attempt on Tennessee’s first drive.
Mills was intercepted by Kristian Fulton on Houston’s opening drive, but the Titans couldn’t take advantage of the error and had to punt.
Robert Woods fumbled a punt return in the first quarter, and the Texans recovered. It was the third fumble on a punt return for the Titans this season but the first by Woods.
The Texans couldn’t cash in on that mistake, either.
INJURIES
Tannehill missed the game with a sprained ankle and an illness. ... Titans S Amani Hooker injured his shoulder in the first quarter and didn’t return. ... Houston DB Grayland Arnold injured a quadriceps in the second half and didn't return. ... OL Justin McCray left in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Christian McCaffrey became the 11th player in NFL history with a rushing touchdown, a passing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in one game, and the San Francisco 49ers extended their regular-season mastery over the Rams to four full years with a 31-14 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday.
McCaffrey threw a 34-yard TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk in the first half, caught a TD pass from Jimmy Garoppolo in the third quarter and then put the Niners (4-4) in control with a TD run early in the fourth.
Garoppolo passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns as San Francisco scored 24 unanswered points to finish its eighth consecutive regular-season victory over its NFC West rivals.
McCaffrey finished with 94 yards rushing and 55 yards receiving. LaDainian Tomlinson was the last player with rushing, passing and receiving TDs in the same game, doing it for San Diego back in 2005.
The 49ers outbid the Rams (3-4) last week in a trade for McCaffrey’s services, and the versatile running back showed Los Angeles exactly what it missed. The Rams actually were burned by McCaffrey for the second straight game, since he piled up 158 total yards for the Panthers during the Rams’ win over Carolina in LA's final game before its bye.
After trailing 14-10 at halftime despite McCaffrey's 34-yard TD pass, the 49ers reclaimed the lead late in the third quarter with an 88-yard drive capped by McCaffrey’s artful TD catch down the sideline. McCaffrey then made a 24-yard run followed by a 1-yard score with 12:07 to play, and George Kittle made a late TD catch to seal the Niners' latest humiliation of the Rams despite the injury absence of star Deebo Samuel.
Los Angeles narrowly beat San Francisco in the NFC championship game at SoFi Stadium exactly nine months ago, but the Niners have won every other meeting since 2018.
Matthew Stafford passed for 187 yards and scored his first rushing touchdown since 2016 for the defending Super Bowl champion Rams (3-4), who are under .500 for the third time — all occurring this season — in coach Sean McVay’s career. Los Angeles managed 43 net yards in the second half while getting shut out after halftime for the third time already this season.
McVay has lost nine of his 13 matchups with Kyle Shanahan, his former co-worker in Washington, since they got their current jobs one month apart in 2017. Shanahan got nearly 21% of his 43 career regular-season victories when coaching against McVay.
Cooper Kupp had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown, but the Rams All-Pro left the field gingerly after an awkward tackle with 1:02 to play.
The Rams scored first when Stafford's 1-yard run capped a 17-play, 88-yard drive consuming 9:21.
The Niners tied it a few minutes later on McCaffrey's TD pass off a fake screen. Samuel threw a TD pass against the Rams last season.
INJURIES
Four key starters were inactive for the Niners: Samuel, DT Arik Armstead, FB Kyle Juszczyk and LB Dre Greenlaw.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee injured his neck while making a catch in the first quarter, but returned in the second. He made an egregious drop in the fourth quarter. ... WR Van Jefferson was not targeted in his season debut after having knee surgery early in training camp.
UP NEXT
49ers: Bye week.
Rams: At Buccaneers on Sunday.

SEATTLE (AP) — Tyler Lockett caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith with 9:18 left, and the Seattle Seahawks won their third straight, 27-13 over the New York Giants on Sunday.
The only matchup of teams with winning records in the NFL this week was a slugfest until the fourth quarter, when Lockett made up for two big mistakes earlier in the game and Seattle rookie running back Kenneth Walker III finally broke free, helping the surprising Seahawks (5-3) stay atop the NFC West.
New York (6-2) saw its four-game win streak snapped entering its bye week and lost ground to undefeated Philadelphia in the NFC East — largely because the Seahawks corralled Saquon Barkley, who was held to a season-low 53 yards on 20 carries and had three catches for 9 yards.
Lockett hauled in a short pass at the 3-yard line in the first half, but Adoree’ Jackson forced and recovered a fumble, leading to a 1-yard TD run from Barkley. Late in the third quarter, Lockett was free behind the Giants secondary but dropped what would have been a 33-yard touchdown.
Given another chance on Seattle’s next drive, Lockett came through. First he made a solid 12-yard catch. Then he made a stutter-and-go move on Jackson and flashed open down the sideline. Smith’s throw was on target for the touchdown and a 20-13 Seattle lead.
Seattle added insurance with 5:22 left thanks to Walker. New York’s Richie James fumbled his second punt return of the game, giving Seattle the ball at the Giants 32. Two plays later, Walker reversed his field, broke tackles and scooted 16 yards for the clinching touchdown.
Walker finished with 51 yards on 18 carries. Smith was 23 of 34 for 212 yards and two touchdowns, including a 3-yard TD pass to DK Metcalf in the second quarter. Smith was 5 for 5 for 75 yards on the drive capped by Lockett’s scoring catch. Both Lockett (hamstring/oblique) and Metcalf (knee) were questionable entering the game.
Barkley entered the week leading the NFL in yards from scrimmage and was second in yards rushing. His previous season low on the ground was 70 yards against Green Bay. But he struggled against a Seahawks defense that gave up 235 yards rushing to New Orleans less than a month ago.
The lack of a run game put pressure on Daniel Jones, who avoided big mistakes but didn’t make any big plays through the air. Jones was 17 of 31 for 176 yards and was sacked five times.
COACHING RANKS
Seattle coach Pete Carroll tied Bud Grant for 18th on the all-time victory list with 168, including playoffs.
Carroll was also penalized for sideline interference late in the fourth quarter when he collided with an official. Referee Jerome Boger inadvertently announced the penalty as being against the “Seattle Mariners.”
INJURIES
New York lost defensive lineman Nick Williams in the first quarter to a biceps injury and James was ruled out with a concussion after he hit the back of his head on the turf after his second fumble. Seattle played nearly the entire game without pass rusher Darrell Taylor due to a hip injury, and versatile safety Ryan Neal limped off in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury.

Seahawks: At Arizona next Sunday.

It appeared things might actually be different for the New York Jets this time around.
They got off to a solid start against the New England Patriots in front of a raucous, jam-packed stadium rooting on their team to finally beat Bill Belichick's bunch for the first time in years.
It turned out to be the same old story.
Zach Wilson was intercepted three times, and the Jets dropped their 13th straight to the Patriots, 22-17 on Sunday.
“We've got to do better with the ball,” coach Robert Saleh said. “This is a team that feasts on your mistakes and if you're just off by a hair, you're going to pay for it. So, just collectively, all of us, we've got to be better with the ball.”
Especially Wilson, whose miscues against the Patriots were a major reason for the end of the Jets' four-game win streak.
"I need to play better," Wilson said.
Indeed.
The second-year quarterback is still in the progress phase of his development, with the Jets (5-3) looking to see him take clear steps forward and establish himself as the guy who'll lead the franchise for years. Well, Sunday was a major step backward.
Wilson had the first 300-yard passing game of his career, going 20 of 41 for 355 yards and two touchdowns to Tyler Conklin. But the three interceptions might raise some more questions about the quarterback.
“We have faith in Z,” Saleh insisted. “He’s played good football. He has taken care of the football since he’s gotten back. He has shown flashes of good football, so everyone in the locker room still has his back.”
But for how much longer?
Helped by an unnecessary roughness call on Jabrill Peppers, the Jets quickly got into Patriots territory on their first possession of the second quarter. Wilson capped the drive with an 8-yarder to Conklin for a 10-3 lead — Wilson's first TD pass in four games.
But Wilson also was intercepted for the first time in four games shortly before halftime when his pass floated into the hands of Ja’Whuan Bentley, giving the Patriots the ball at the Jets 40.
It appeared Mac Jones gave it right back to the Jets when Michael Carter II intercepted him and returned it for a touchdown — but it was wiped out by a roughing-the-passer call on John Franklin-Myers. It ended up being a momentum-changing sequence or the Jets.
“Ten-point swing,” Saleh said. “It ended up being 17 if you count what happened in the second half. It was a costly penalty.”
The Patriots ended up getting points on the drive, cutting the deficit to 10-6 on Nick Folk’s 42-yarder as time expired in the half.
New England (4-4) started with the ball to open the third quarter and scored a go-ahead touchdown on Jones' 5-yard pass to Jakobi Meyers.
“They had the good drive coming out,” Saleh said. “Credit to them. Other than that, I didn’t feel like they were able to do what they wanted from a defensive standpoint. Offensively, we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot and not allowing ourselves to continue drives and stack together consecutive good plays.”
Greg Zuerlein missed a potential tying 45-yard field goal on the Jets' first possession of the second half and the Patriots added two more field goals to take a 19-10 lead.
Then Wilson was intercepted by Devin McCourty on consecutive drives.
“I just had two bone-headed plays,” Wilson said. "The second interception (the first by McCourty), I really meant to throw that ball away. ... And then the last one, I really just wanted to make a play instead of coming off the field and I can’t do that.
“I put my defense in a bad situation there.”
It was Wilson's first start in a loss this season after he missed the first three games with a knee injury. He rallied New York to a comeback win at Pittsburgh in his season debut, but his play was far from spectacular in the three wins that followed.
Wilson was operating more like a game manager than a game changer who can carry an offense. That was by design, in large part, while New York went up against some tough defenses with Miami, Green Bay and Denver.
New England was another rough opponent for a young quarterback. And Wilson and the Jets were done in by his inability to prevent mistakes.
“We just have to rally around him,” Saleh said. “Coaches, we need to find a way to make it not necessarily simpler, but just help him continue to progress and evolve. He is still a young man. Playing quarterback in this league is not easy. Collectively, we have to do better for him.”

At least 77 people, including women and children, were killed and scores were missing as the hanging bridge over the Machhu dam in Gujarat's Morbi district collapsed on Sunday evening, officials said.
Many bodies had been fished out from the Machhu river and sent for post-mortem examinations at the Morbi government hospital while Morbi MLA and Minister of State for Panchayat Brajesh Merja confirmed the number of deaths. No break-up of the deceased was available yet.
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who has canceled all his programs and rushed to Morbi to personally monitor rescue and medical services, announced Rs 4 lakh compensation to the kin of the deceased and Rs 50,000 financial help to those injured in the accident.
Patel is likely to camp in Morbi till the rescue operations continue.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who took cognizance of the accident, announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh to the next of kin of the dead from the PM's Relief Fund, and Rs 50,000 for the injured.
According to a tweet by the Prime Minister's office, "PM @narendramodi spoke to Gujarat CM @Bhupendrapbjp and other officials regarding the mishap in Morbi. He has sought urgent mobilization of teams for rescue ops. He has asked that the situation be closely and continuously monitored, and extend all possible help to those affected".
Meanwhile, the Morbi Municipal Committee's Chief Executive Officer S.V. Zala, in a shocking revelation, said that the bridge was opened for the public after renovation without a fitness certificate from the civic body.
On the state government's request, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has deployed one NDRF team from Rajkot, while Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has instructed the Army rescue teams to rush to Morbi.
The rescue operation is likely to be carried out the entire night, as locals fear that children's bodies have been swept away due to the water flow in the Machhu river.
Local authorities' apprehension is that the bridge has collapsed right in the middle of the river, where the water level is 15 to 20 feet deep, and due to this the death toll is likely to rise.
A total of seven fire brigade teams were pressed into rescue services, and one State Disaster Response Force team and two NDRF teams from Gandhinagar rushed to the spot. Local authorities have started a helpline number - 02822-243300 - on which people can seek help to know about their missing relatives.

It's not enjoyable to be "ghosted," and it might leave daters feeling bewildered, let down, or both. Before Halloween, dating App Tinder is advising single people to reconsider "ghosting" and instead to date in a more caring manner.
What exactly does "ghosting" mean? When someone you've been emailing or have seen in person suddenly vanishes into thin air without a trace, it's known as "ghosting." Ghosting can occur for a variety of reasons, such as boredom, fear of hurting someone, or the perception that time has simply flown by.
'Ghosting' can be an unfortunate by-product of dating culture which has emerged in recent years. However, recent data suggests that 'ghosting' might actually start to disappear. The App's own internal data reveals that its members aged 18-22 are less likely to 'ghost' than those over the age of 33. These Members aged 33 and above are 31 percent more likely to 'ghost' than their 18-22-year-old counterparts.
"Ghosting might seem like an easy way to spare someone's feelings, but honestly, it's cheugy! I think we should start being respectful of others feelings if we want to have authentic relationships," Manav Bahl, 22 years, Mumbai, says.
No matter how long you've been dating, there are more better methods to end a relationship than "ghosting," which may seem like the simple solution. Instead, make an effort to be sincere and honest. In this manner, both parties receive resolution, which lessens ambiguity and conserves time and energy.
5 important tips to avoid ghosting
Keep this checklist in mind to ensure that you're a healthy dater:
Be yourself, and be honest with your match
Consider your match or date's feelings
Be clear with your feelings and intentions for the person you're dating
Be sensitive to your match or dates needs and preferences
Respect your match or date's boundaries and don't compromise your boundaries

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://cw33.com/hill-politics/supreme-court-to-weigh-future-of-affirmative-action-in-college-admissions/ | 2022-10-31T00:07:54 | en | 0.962332 |

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://www.krqe.com/hill-politics/supreme-court-to-weigh-future-of-affirmative-action-in-college-admissions/ | 2022-10-31T00:07:55 | en | 0.962332 |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Whether it’s toxic treats, constrictive costumes, or autumn activities, this season comes with quite a few health and safety hazards for pets.
Nexstar’s WKRN found a number of pet safety tips from Camp Bow Wow’s animal health and behavior expert, Erin Askeland; the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA); and VCA Animal Hospitals to keep in mind for Halloween and the fall season.
When it comes to Halloween, one of the best things you can do is to leave your pet at home when you go trick-or-treating. As VCA Animal Hospitals explains, the costumes, strangers, and sounds can be overwhelming.
At home, keep your pet in a safe space, preferably behind a closed door and away from the ringing doorbell during trick-or-treating. You can even help block out the noise of the holiday festivities by turning on the television, playing calming music, or setting up a fan.
There are plenty of Howl-o-ween activities to keep your pet entertained, like creating a scavenger hunt by stashing treats around the house for your pet to find.
If there’s a chance of your pet sneaking out the open door while you’re distracted by trick-or-treaters, make sure they have some form of identification on them like a microchip, collar, or ID tag.
If you want to play dress up with your pet, make sure they have a safe and comfortable costume. Experts say you should avoid costumes that:
- Restrict the animal’s movement, hearing, or sight
- Impede their ability to breathe, smell, bark, or meow
- Feature small, dangling, or removable pieces that your pet could chew off and choke on.
Let your pet try on any costumes before Halloween so they can get used to them. If they seem distressed or display unusual behavior, don’t force them to wear the costume. Instead, just give them a festive collar, harness, or bandana.
Never leave a pet in costume without supervision.
You’ll also want to avoid leaving your pet alone with any of the sweet treats you collect.
All forms of chocolate, especially dark and baking chocolate, are toxic for dogs and cats because they contain caffeine and theobromine. These chemicals can impact your pet‘s brain, heart, and muscles. Symptoms of chocolate poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, changes in heart rate and rhythm, tremors, and seizures.
Raisins can lead to kidney failure and, if they’re covered in chocolate, they’re even more toxic.
Candy corn and other candies made with pure sugar can result in severe gas and diarrhea while bite-sized hard candies pose a major choking hazard, according to Pets Best.
Many sugar-free candies and gum contain a sugar substitute called xylitol, which is also dangerous for dogs, even causing their blood sugar to drop to dangerously low levels, leading to seizures and even liver damage.
Even candy wrappers can cause intestinal upset and gastrointestinal blockage. If you think your pet has ingested something toxic, you are urged to immediately call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435.
In addition to candy, some decorations and accessories can be dangerous to your pet. That includes fake cobwebs, batteries, toys, power cords, glow sticks, and costume pieces that can lead to choking, internal injury, or illness.
Once Halloween has passed, there are still other fall-related hazards to be aware of if you have pets, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
That includes items like mothballs and rodenticides, which can be toxic for pets. Experts recommend using pet-friendly options or, when it comes to protecting your home from rodents, contacting a professional.
As you prepare your car for winter months, you may be using antifreeze. You’ll want to be aware of where your pet is because if they consume even a small amount of antifreeze, or any other chemical you’re using on your vehicle, you should take them to receive veterinary care immediately.
If you plan to take your dog out for a walk during hunting season, and you’ll be in an area where hunters may be present, make sure to dress in bright orange or another bright color to make sure you’re visible.
Though it may be colder outside, veterinarians say fleas and ticks can remain active for some time. Your pet may also be exposed to Leptospirosis, a disease caused by Leptospira bacteria found in moist soil or stagnant water. There is a vaccine your pet can receive to protect them.
Some wild mushrooms and fall vegetables like onions and garlic can be harmful to pets as well.
Ultimately, if you are concerned your pet may have encountered or ingested something harmful to them, or if you have any other questions about your pet’s safety, talk to your veterinarian. | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/how-to-protect-your-pets-from-these-halloween-hazards-autumn-risks/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:01 | en | 0.929492 |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Homelessness is a growing issue in Albuquerque and even across the nation. A local group held a brunch to fundraise to help out.
The Brotherhood Group at Congregation Albert holds monthly brunches, and Sunday’s was all about homelessness and how to help. Mayor Tim Keller was a guest speaker at the event, addressing the topic at hand.
The Rabbi of the synagogue said the event aligns with their values.
“We see homelessness as one of those issues of which we have to be partners in helping find a solution,” Rabbi Celia Surget.
The brunch cost $18, and the proceeds are going towards the group’s community service projects. | https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/local-synagogue-fundraises-through-brunch-event/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:02 | en | 0.970672 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband carried zip ties with him when he broke into the couple’s San Francisco home, according to a person briefed on the investigation, in what is the latest parallel to the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021.
The person was not authorized to publicly discuss the Pelosi case and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday.
The attack on the Democratic leader’s 82-year-old husband, Paul Pelosi, less than two weeks before the Nov. 8 election that will determine control of Congress as well as key statewide and local offices, was an unsettling reminder of the nation’s toxic political climate. With threats to public officials at an all-time high, members of Congress were being urged to reach out for additional security resources, including increased police patrols of their neighborhoods.
U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger said in a weekend memo to lawmakers that the attack “is a somber reminder of the threats elected officials and families face in 2022.”
Police in San Francisco said the assault of Paul Pelosi was intentional. Authorities said the suspect, identified as David DePape, 42, confronted Paul Pelosi in the family’s Pacific Heights home early Friday and, the AP has reported, demanded to know, “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.
Eerie echoes of the Jan. 6 riot were apparent in the incident at the Pelosi home.
Rioters who swarmed the Capitol trying to overturn Joe Biden’s election victory over Donald Trump roamed the halls and shouted menacingly, demanding “Where’s Nancy?” Some in the siege were seen inside the Capitol carrying zip ties. The presence of the zip ties on the suspect in Paul Pelosi’s assault was first reported by CNN.
Nancy Pelosi was in Washington when her husband was attacked at home. She soon returned to San Francisco, where her husband was hospitalized. He had surgery for a skull fracture, and suffered other injuries to his arms and hands, her office said.
“Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop,” she said in a letter late Saturday to colleagues. “We are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and emergency services, and for the life-saving medical care he is receiving.”
Paul Pelosi remains hospitalized and “continues to improve,” she told colleagues.
With Election Day nearing and Trump relentlessly promoting claims he did not lose to Biden in 2020, federal agencies warned on Friday that domestic extremists fueled by election falsehoods “pose a heightened threat” to the midterms. The Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies said the greatest danger was “posed by lone offenders who leverage election-related issues to justify violence.”
Biden and other officials, Democrats and Republicans, condemned the attack on Paul Pelosi and said violence has no home in American politics.
“Enough is enough is enough,” Biden said while campaigning in Pennsylvania on Friday night.
Trump, in an interview taped Friday with Americano Media, a conservative Spanish-language network, called the attack on Paul Pelosi a “terrible thing,” but the former president also tried to link it to crime in U.S. cities.
For years, Republicans have tried to make Pelosi a campaign boogeyman, using the 82-year-old’s image as a recurring caricature in countless ads against Democrats, including many now airing in races nationwide during a hostile election season.
The head of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, said Sunday it was “unfair” to blame the GOP for creating a political climate that could have laid the ground for such an attack.
“You can’t say people saying, ‘Let’s fire Pelosi’ or ‘Let’s take back the House” is saying go do violence,” she told “Fox News Sunday.”
The House GOP’s campaign chief, Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer, was asked during a Sunday interview about a tweet promoting his own video, which shows him shooting a gun at an indoor target.
“Enjoyed exercising my Second Amendment rights,” Emmer tweeted, mentioning he was with two House GOP candidates. The video includes the imagery and sounds of the rifle being fired. The tweet was posted Wednesday, before Paul Pelosi was assaulted, and said: “13 days to make history. Let’s #FirePelosi.”
Emmer said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that he was just “exercising our Second Amendment rights, having fun.”
Both McDaniel and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California said Paul Pelosi’s assailant was “deranged.”
McCarthy said on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that violence or the threat of violence “has no place in our society.”
Five years ago, a left-wing activist opened fire on Republicans as they practiced for an annual charity baseball game. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana was critically wounded. In 2011, then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot in the head at an event outside a Tucson grocery store.
Elon Musk jumped into the debate Sunday tweeting, then deleting, a link to a fringe website with an unfounded rumor about the attack on Speaker Pelosi’s husband. Sent to his millions of followers, Musk’s tweet came just days after his purchase of Twitter fueled concerns that the social media platform would no longer seek to limit misinformation and hate speech.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who leads the Senate committee overseeing security at the Capitol, said lawmakers are considering new measures, including taking their private information off the internet.
Klobuchar, D-Minn., noted, however that Nancy Pelosi “has been villainized for years and, big surprise, it’s gone viral, and it went violent.”
“I think it is really important that people realize that it is not just this moment of this horrific attack, but that we have seen violence perpetrated throughout our political system,” Klobuchar told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/paul-pelosi-attacker-carried-zip-ties-ap-source/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:07 | en | 0.973407 |

Even as the world economy is facing macroeconomic challenges, the Indian economy has been termed as relatively stable and so have been the Indian equity markets. Anand Rathi, chairman AnandRathi Group told Sandeep Singh that India should target a GDP growth rate of at least 8-10 per cent for the next decade or two. Stating that India needs to build infrastructure at a faster pace, he also said that it was important to ease regulations and trust people in order to nurture entrepreneurship and business environment. Edited excerpts:
I think it is the beginning of India taking a different turn and role with respect to the western world. While I think that we may not be able to replicate what China did, we are moving in that direction in terms of growth. A lot of changes that have been pushed by the government over the last few years have been far reaching ones and I believe they will have an excellent effect.
India should target a minimum GDP growth rate of 8-10 per cent for the next 1-2 decades to take care of the population it has.
Historically, if we look at any country, their highest growth was achieved when they were developing their infrastructure — a long-term investment — and that is what is going on in India, though at a slower pace than desired. If that is one area we need to address, another area is capital goods and defence.
I am hopeful that the changes would be visible from this decade onwards and we won’t miss out on the opportunities that are there. India is going to be a happening place and there is going to be faster growth.
Government has played a key role in whatever we have achieved so far and the biggest act was opening up the economy in 1991. Even going forward, it has to play a role but the key advantage that India has is its entrepreneurship. The country has reached to this level because of the huge entrepreneurial drive. I think managing business in India is most difficult in comparison to anywhere in the world, but still people have succeeded as they are willing to face hurdles and difficulties as they grow.
We have to make it easier to do business in India and all reforms will have to be part of it. While we have done away with some approvals, but at the same time some more are being added. I believe that bureaucratic involvement should be reduced. I can see that some administrative departments take 6 months to a year to approve. An individual may have the land but he can’t do anything. Besides that, we also need agricultural, land and judicial reforms.
Infrastructure is the first and foremost challenge; second is reforms which we need particularly to make it easy to do business. Third, our financial system should become stronger and availability of money — debt or equity — should be easy.
At some stage, people are a bit scared and the system of trust has taken a beating. There is a feeling of distrust and we need to make things easier for people to both live and do business. We have enormous opportunity and entrepreneurship and if we can do that, India will take-off.
There are companies that are growing from small to medium cap and from medium cap to large cap, but yes we need more companies. I would say that there are many companies in India that can go public but many promoters feel that there is too much regulation. So, sometimes overregulation, which is something we must look into, is a concern. In fact, many people are even thinking of taking their publicly listed companies, private. There is a sense among promoters that even though they have 70-75 per cent stake, they are made answerable to everyone.
I believe that regulation should be minimum and there has to be trust in people. How much can you regulate? Whatever regulation you have, some bad apples will always be there. One basic principle is that there must be trust between the government and the people. What we have seen is that additional powers that are being given to various authorities is resulting in more misuse than use and it is emerging as a big challenge.
I think that retail investors should leave equity investment decisions with mutual funds. They should not become a risk fund and should not put money in risky assets, but instead go with proven companies. Equity is a great investment avenue and I think it is the best way to put money, if it is meant for the long term. I expect 13-15 per cent CAGR over the next 5-10 years. | https://indianexpress.com/article/business/anand-rathi-interview-founder-chairman-anandrathi-group-8239509/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:12 | en | 0.984286 |
Google plans to appeal against the two orders of the competition commission of india, (CCI), which recently imposed a total fine of `2,274 crore on the US tech giant. The company has identified three grounds on which it feels the judgment of the antitrust regulator is faulty, sources aware of the development said. The CCI orders can be challenged in the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.
The first ground on which Google finds the order faulty is the nature of the fine, which it sees as penal instead of being token. The CCI’s assumption is that the company indulged in anti-competitive business practices with a malafide intent. “There was no violation by Google of any laid down laws. Still, if the CCI found its practices to be anti-competitive, a token fine could have been levied under the provisions of competition laws. However, the nature of fine imposed by the CCI is penal, which is levied only in cases of malafide intent,” sources said.
The second ground being considered by Google is with regard to patent laws, which according to it have been given a go by in this case. “Android is a patented product of Google. Under patent laws, the company is entitled to set boundaries on the usage of the open source versions to ensure the overall security of the ecosystem,” sources said.
The third ground is the absence of evidence from all the stakeholders like consumers. “The order is based on the evidence provided by app developers and manufacturers who use the open source versions, but users who get to feel a uniform experience across devices are also stakeholders and their point of view should have been taken into account,” sources said.

The recent rout in the share price of Facebook parent’s Meta Platforms on Thursday and the estimated $1-trillion loss in the market cap of big US tech giants this week have hit Indian investors quite hard.
Worse still, most of these stocks were already down between 30% and 70% since the beginning of the year. The latest crash would have put further pressure on the investors holding these stocks.
According to data from primemfdatabase.com, Indian mutual funds held stocks worth a little more than `1,100 crore in Meta at the end of September 2022. In total, the schemes had over `12,300 crore invested in top tech companies like Meta, Netflix, Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft. These holdings would have taken a significant beating in the recent crash.
For example: Meta, alone, is down over 30% in the past month while Alphabet is down around 8%.
Several schemes have invested a substantial portion of their corpus in the technology stocks given their high weighting in indices such as Nasdaq 100 and NYSE FANG. Tech stocks account for over 25% weighting in the S&P 500 index as well.
That’s not all. Indians sent $19.6 billion abroad in FY22 as per the RBI data, of which investment in equity/debt comprised $747 million. Of this, $300 million would have made its way into stocks and ETFs, with 40% or more being invested into technology stocks, industry estimates suggest.

Delhi’s air quality saw some improvement, though it remained in the very poor range on Sunday. While the AQI value was 397 — just shy of turning severe — Saturday, it improved to 352 on Sunday.
The share of farm stubble burning in PM 2.5 concentration, however, rose to 26% from 21% a day ago. According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), the overall contribution of PM 2.5 was around 54%.
“Local surface winds will be blowing at a speed of around 6 to 8 km/h and temperature will be in the range of 32 to 15 degrees Celsius for the next three days. These conditions cause weak dispersion of pollutants. Low mixing height is also leading to inefficient dilution and dispersion of pollutants. The share of stubble burning emissions in PM 2.5 is 26% due to favourable winds at transport level blowing from the northwest direction. Air quality is likely to remain within ‘very poor’ for the next three days due to a combined effect of transport as well as local weather conditions,” the SAFAR forecast said.
Delhi’s AQI has been in the very poor category since Wednesday. It has not hit the severe category so far this season.
Meanwhile, the Delhi government’s environment department is going to monitor the ban on construction and demolition activities that was announced on Saturday as part of stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan.
“As many as 586 teams have been formed to monitor the construction-demolition ban. Water sprinkling has been intensified in view of the pollution situation. A total of 521 water sprinklers, 233 anti-smog guns, and 150 mobile anti-smog guns have been deployed to tackle pollution in Delhi,” Environment Minister Gopal Rai said.
As per norms, some construction activities are allowed. This includes construction work of Railways Department, work in Metro stations, airports, ISBT and its terminals and also any activity related to national security. Other exceptions include work in hospitals, construction for linear public projects such as highways, roads and flyovers, and interior work such as plumbing-related activities and other furniture-related work, Rai said. Activities that will remain banned are construction and demolition work that does not fall in the mentioned exceptions, boring and drilling, digging, movement of soil, and movement of vehicles on unpaved roads.
Rai also appealed to the Uttar Pradesh government to avoid plying diesel buses in areas bordering Delhi. He said AQI may turn severe in the coming two-three days. “The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) system had earlier announced that during this winter season, the GRAP system will be set in three days earlier based on the Air Quality Index (AQI) at the time. Right now, as per the information we are getting from experts, after November 1, the speed of the wind is likely to be in the range of 4-8 kmph, the direction of the wind is likely to turn towards the Northwest, and based on the available information, we have been told that AQI levels are likely to cross 400, which comes in the ‘severe’ category,” he said.
He added, “Today in Delhi, we held a meeting with all stakeholders, particularly those who are engaged in the construction business — PWD, CPWD, MCD, DDA, Railways and all agencies working in the construction sites — and informed them about the ban on construction and demolition work. According to the CAQM order, we will implement all regulations for Delhi. This year, we have also worked towards ensuring better implementation of the order. In previous years, we had noticed that despite a ban being enforced, there were some sites where work was still ongoing.” | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/in-delhi-586-teams-deployed-to-monitor-construction-ban-8239659/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:30 | en | 0.976084 |
Small restaurants with seating capacity below 50 and PG accommodations with 10 or more rooms operating without a fire safety no-objection certificate (NOC) will now have to mandatorily apply for one, said officials. Prior to this, such establishments did not come under mandatory fire NOC category.
The decision comes following suggestions of a sub-committee formed by the Delhi government in the aftermath of a fire at Hotel Arpit Palace in Karol Bagh in February 2019, which left 17 dead.
After judicial investigations in the matter, the Delhi government constituted the sub-committee to study and review the status of existing guest houses and restaurants/eating houses in Delhi, including various laws connected with fire safety and fire prevention, and to make appropriate recommendations for fire prevention and fire safety of guest houses and restaurant/eating houses in Delhi.
Officials said the committee was also asked to make recommendations for PG hostels/ accommodations. Joint surveys were conducted by the committee in areas of Hauz Khas, Paharganj, Hudson Lane, Mukherjee Nagar and Bhai Parmanand Colony.
The committee suggested that a fire safety certificate must be mandatory for private hostels in Delhi having 10 or more rooms irrespective of number of guests staying in the hostel, and the Delhi Fire Services may formulate fire safety standards for private hostels accordingly, said an official.
For eating houses having gross floor area less than 90 square metres or seating capacity below 50 persons, the committee suggested these structures should comply with minimum fire safety measures as per guidelines prescribed by the Delhi Fire Services.

A 26-year-old woman was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her house in Outer Delhi Saturday morning. Soon after her death, police arrested her husband on charges of domestic abuse and dowry harassment based on a complaint from the woman’s family.
The woman lived with her husband and in-laws. Police said her husband is a businessman and runs a shop in the area. He and his family told police they were not at home when the incident took place. Police said her in-laws found her and took her to the hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.
DCP (Outer) Sameer Sharma said, “We received information and an MLC from Sanjay Gandhi hospital about the hanging. Since the couple had been married for less than seven years, an enquiry by SDM Kanjhawala was initiated. A chunni was seized. The woman’s mother told the magistrate that her daughter was being harassed by her husband and his mother over dowry and other things. Based on the allegations, we arrested the husband.”
Police said the accused has been booked under IPC sections 304b and 498a. An autopsy was conducted and the report is awaited, said police. The woman’s family said the couple got married three-four years ago and alleged that the husband and his family would “harass” her over dowry. They also alleged that she was killed.
Police said the family did not report the dowry harassment and that they haven’t found any evidence of assault or murder so far. | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/woman-found-hanging-from-fan-in-outer-delhi-husband-held-for-dowry-harassment-8239678/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:42 | en | 0.996208 |
Hours before the first arghya of Chhath on Sunday evening, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the ghats along the Ganga at Dai Ghat and Posta Bazar areas of Kolkata to oversee the arrangements.
Accompanied by ministers Firhad Hakim and Subrata Bakshi, the chief minister urged people to stay cautious, saying “there are people who are trying to fuel unrest by creating”.
“Please don’t step on these issues… All religions are our religion. Bengali is included in all the festivals. Earlier, there used to be a one day holiday on Chhath Puja. But after I came to know it is a two-day festival, I declared two days of public holiday since last year,” Mamata said. She also met women worshippers at the ghat and said she prayed that their children get jobs”.
Later, she inaugurated the Jagaddhatri Puja organised by the traders of Postabazar. Every year, the chief minister inaugurates the puja. Shashi Panja, Sudeep Banerjee, and Naina Banerjee were seen with her. | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/mamata-banerjee-inspects-chhath-preparations-stay-cautious-from-those-trying-to-fuel-unrest-8239691/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:48 | en | 0.96469 |
In an attempt to reach out to more people ahead of the panchayat elections in the state, the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government is going to start the fifth phase of the ‘Duare Sarkar’ (government at your doorsteps) programme from Tuesday (November 1).
At least 20 percent of the camps will be in mobile mode.
An official in the Panchayat and Rural Development Department said this time the 100-day work under the MGNREGA has been excluded from the programme since the central government is not releasing funds under the scheme.
In earlier phases, application forms for job cards were distributed in the camps. The state government had started the initiative ahead of the 2021 assembly polls.
A total of 27 services will be available in the camps. New services involving land lease, new electricity connections and partial waiver of bill arrears, have been included.
Since applying for land lease is quite a daunting task, people can apply for the same at the camps. Also, those who have electricity arrears for a long time can settle these without submitting the bills through a private firm, an official said.
A senior official said, “It will not only make the government understand grievances of people but also help the ruling party to gain their confidence ahead of the panchayat elections.” | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/west-bengal-fifth-phase-of-duare-sarkar-starts-tomorrow-8239696/ | 2022-10-31T00:08:54 | en | 0.962744 |
A 24-year-old woman died on Saturday night after being diagnosed with dengue in Deganga of North 24 Parganas district.
The victim was identified as Soma Das of Thakurbari area in Deganga. Officials said the death toll due to dengue in the state has reached nearly 50 even as the Health Department has not confirmed the figures on fatalities yet. Also, 642 fresh cases of the vector-borne disease were reported on Sunday. With this, the total number of dengue cases in the state stand at more than 50,000.
The dengue situation in various areas of the state, especially in Kolkata, is quite alarming this year. Doctors said the death rate among young and middle-aged people due to the diseases is quite high this time. Moreover, those getting dengue for the second time are at an even higher risk, they said.
Minister Firhad Hakim claimed that dengue cannot be prevented only by the administration and that people should be more aware of the spread. “There have been lot of dengue cases in south India.

A Trinamool Congress (TMC) worker succumbed to his injuries at a hospital on Sunday, a day after he was shot at by some assailants in North 24 Parganas district’s Naihati town, police said.
Zakir Hussain, the victim, was sitting at a tea shop with his friends in Shivdaspur locality of Naihati when 10-12 bike-borne people came and hurled some bombs before opening fire at him, officials said.
“Hussain received three bullets injuries while two others were injured in the bomb attack. The injured were first taken to the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Hospital in Kalyani where Zakir Hossain died today,” a local resident of the area said.
The victim underwent a four-hour-long surgery, but to no avail.
The incident is likely to be a fallout of a long-standing land dispute between two groups, it is learnt. Police were deployed in large numbers in the area to avoid any untoward situation, officials said.
Hussain was an active worker of the TMC in the area and was president of the High Madrasa School. Local residents demanded strictest punishment for the culprits.
“The incident appears to be a result of an old land dispute. A case has been registered and investigation is on,” said an official.
TMC MLA Partha Bhowmick said, “The Shivdaspur area was once infested by crime. It is an extremely unfortunate incident. We are with the family.”
BJP leader Dilip Ghosh said, “TMC men are killing their own party workers. Sometimes it’s for commissions, syndicates or land. All goons have become TMC workers across West Bengal, not just Naihati.” | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/west-bengal-tmc-worker-killed-2-injured-as-assailants-on-bikes-open-fire-8239687/ | 2022-10-31T00:09:06 | en | 0.981843 |

ACTIVISTS FROM Pune gathered in front of Sambhaji Park on Jangli Maharaj Road on Sunday to spread the message that freedom from exploitation and abuse is an inalienable right of all sentient beings, both human and non-human. This was done ahead of World Vegan Day, which is on November 1.
The activists, dressed in all-black, stood solemnly holding laptops, tablets and phones, which played videos of the “horrors” that animals endure in dairy farms, hatcheries, and slaughterhouses “that the animal agriculture industry does not want its consumers to see.” Their motto was ‘Face the Truth – Liberation for all.’
