Toronto police have released a photo of two suspects who allegedly stole a television from a building in the east end.
On Thursday morning, the suspects broke into a building in the area of Main Street and Gerrard Street East, police said, and took a large flat-screen TV.
In addition to the photo, police have released descriptions of the two suspects, asking for the public’s help identifying them.
The first suspect is described as a white male, six-foot-tall with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a dark-coloured toque, light-coloured hooded sweater, dark-coloured pants, white running shoes, and a cross-body bag with reflective stripes.
The other suspect is described as a white female, five-foot-six, with a slim build and long blonde hair. She was last seen wearing a light-coloured toque, a light-coloured hooded sweater, shorts and sandals.
Police urge anyone who can identify the suspects to contact them at 416-808-5500 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477) or www.222tips.com. | https://www.cp24.com/news/two-suspects-sought-after-tv-stolen-from-east-end-building-1.6082498 | 2022-09-24T02:03:25 | en | 0.965725 |
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. food chief warned Thursday that the world is facing “a perfect storm on top of a perfect storm” and urged donors, particularly Gulf nations and billionaires, to give a few days of profits to tackle a crisis with the fertilizer supply right now and prevent widespread food shortages next year.
“Otherwise, there’s gonna be chaos all over the world,” World Food Program Executive Director David Beasley said in an Associated Press interview.
Beasley said that when he took the helm of WFP 5 1/2 years ago, only 80 million people around the world were headed toward starvation. “And I’m thinking, `Well, I can put the World Food Program out of business,’” he said.
But climate problems increased that number to 135 million. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in early 2020, doubled it to 276 million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from. Finally, Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, sparking a war and a food, fertilizer and energy crisis that has pushed the number to 345 million.
“Within that are 50 million people in 45 countries knocking on famine’s door,” Beasley said. “If we don’t reach these people, you will have famine, starvation, destabilization of nations unlike anything we saw in 2007-2008 and 2011, and you will have mass migration.”
“We’ve got to respond now.”
Beasley has been meeting world leaders and speaking at events during this week’s General Assembly gathering of leaders to warn about the food crisis.
General Assembly President Csaba Korosi noted in his opening address Tuesday that “we live, it seems, in a permanent state of humanitarian emergency.” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that conflicts and humanitarian crises are spreading, and the funding gap for the U.N.’s humanitarian appeals stands at $32 billion — “the widest gap ever.”
This year, Beasley said, the war shut down grain shipments from Ukraine — a nation that produces enough food to feed 400 million people — and sharply curtailed shipments from Russia, the world’s second-largest exporter of fertilizer and a major food producer.
Beasley said donor fatigue often undermines aid, particularly in countries in ongoing crisis like Haiti. Inflation is also a serious issue, raising prices and hitting poor people who have no coping capacity because COVID-19 “just economically devastated them.”
So mothers, he said, are forced to decide: Do they buy cooking oil and feed their children, or do they buy heating oil so they don’t freeze? Because there’s not enough money to buy both.
“It’s a perfect storm on top of a perfect storm,” Beasley said. “And with the fertilizer crisis we’re facing right now, with droughts, we’re facing a food pricing problem in 2022. This created havoc around the world.”
“If we don’t get on top of this quickly — and I don’t mean next year, I mean this year — you will have a food availability problem in 2023,” he said. “And that’s gonna be hell.”
Beasley explained that the world now produces enough food to feed the more than 7.7 billion people in the world, but 50% of that food is because farmers used fertilizer. They can’t get those high yields without it. China, the world’s top fertilizer producer, has banned its export; Russia, which is number two, is struggling to get it to world markets.
“We’ve got to get those fertilizers moving, and we’ve got to move it quickly,” he said. “Asian rice production is at a critical state right now. Seeds are in the ground.”
In Africa, 33 million small farms feed over 70% of the population, and right now “we’re several billion dollars short of what we need for fertilizers.” He said Central and South America also faced drought and India was buffeted by heat and drought. “It could go on and on,” he said.
He said the July deal to ship Ukrainian grain from three Black Sea ports is a start, but “we’ve got to get the grains moving, we’ve got to get the fertilizer out there for everybody, and we need to end the wars.”
Beasley said the United States contributed an additional $5 billion for food security, and Germany, France and the European Union are also stepping up. But he called on Gulf states to “step up more” with oil prices so high, particularly to help countries in their region like Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia.
“We’re not talking about asking for a trillion dollars here,” Beasley said. “We’re just talking about asking for a few days’ worth of your profits to stabilize the world,” he said.
The WFP chief said he also met with a group of billionaires on Wednesday night. He said he told them they had “a moral obligation” and “need to care.”
“Even if you don’t give it to me, even if you don’t give it to the World Food Program, get in the game. Get in the game of loving your neighbor and helping your neighbor,” Beasley said. “People are suffering and dying around the world. When a child dies every five seconds from hunger, shame on us.”

HALIFAX - High winds knocked out power in thousands of homes in Nova Scotia and P.E.I. Friday night as people in Atlantic Canada began feeling the wrath of Fiona.
By 10 p.m., more than 14,000 homes and businesses in Nova Scotia had been plunged into darkness. Most of the outages were reported in the central part of the province, mainly in the communities of Sackville, Truro and Stellarton.
In Prince Edward Island more than 1,000 homes and businesses had lost power as the wind picked up across the region.
Earlier in the day, people across Atlantic Canada stocked up on last-minute essentials and storm-proofed their properties ahead of the arrival of Fiona, which forecasters said will hit the region as a “very powerful” post-tropical storm.
The storm, characterized as “historic” in magnitude by meteorologists, is expected to make landfall early Saturday morning, bringing hurricane-force winds and more than 100 millimetres of rain to much of the region and eastern Quebec. Closer to the path of Fiona, more than 200 millimetres of rain is expected to fall - potentially leading to the washout of some roads.
Bob Robichaud, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said Fiona is shaping up to be a bigger storm system than Hurricane Juan, which caused extensive damage to the Halifax area in 2003. He said it's about the same size as post-tropical storm Dorian in 2019.
“But it is stronger than Dorian was,” he told reporters during a briefing. “It's certainly going to be a historic, extreme event for Eastern Canada.”
He said wind speeds could reach up to 145 km/h with gusts even higher in some areas.
Robichaud said the storm is moving northward and is expected to reach Nova Scotia waters late Friday night before passing through Cape Breton early Saturday. Fiona is expected to reach Quebec's Lower North Shore and southeastern Labrador early Sunday.
Dave Buis, vice-commodore of the Northern Yacht Club in North Sydney, N.S., said he is worried about the storm, which is expected to slam the island of Cape Breton.
“Oh definitely, I think this is going to be a bad one,” Buis said in a telephone interview. “Hopefully it will slow up when it hits the cooler water, but it doesn't sound like it's going to.” He said he removed his seven-metre sailboat from the water on Thursday.
On the eastern part of the island in the small Acadian community of Petit-de-Grat, N.S., fishermen were also busy dry-docking their boats, or attempting to lash them tightly to the wharf.
Lobster fisherman Kyle Boudreau said major storm damage is hard for a coastal community to absorb. “This is our livelihood. Our boats get smashed, our traps gets smashed … it's stuff you don't have to start your season next year,” he said.
Meanwhile, stores in Halifax sold out of propane gas cylinders used for camping stoves. Shelves in the camping department of a local Canadian Tire store that normally carried the small green canisters were completely bare.
But Halifax resident and plumber Chad Shiers advised that people in search of a small fuel tank could use plumbing propane.
“There's more ways to get what you need,” he said Friday after buying a blue propane torch. “If I have fire I can eat. As long as they have what I need, I'm not going to panic.”
Robichaud warned people across the region not to be complacent just because they aren't near the centre of the storm's track. “The impacts are going to be felt way beyond where the centre of the storm actually goes,” he said.
Severe winds and rainfall are expected to result in “major impacts” for eastern Prince Edward Island, eastern Nova Scotia, southern and eastern New Brunswick, western Newfoundland, eastern Quebec and southeastern Labrador.
Coastal areas of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are expected to experience pounding surf, with waves expected to reach more than 10 metres off Nova Scotia and more than 12 metres in eastern parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
In addition to significant storm surge, potential for flooding in coastal and mainland areas and an “all-time” low pressure across the region, the storm is expected to cause widespread power outages due to trees and electrical poles brought down by powerful winds.
A spokeswoman for the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, said there are plans to open Centre 200 sports centre in Sydney as an evacuation centre Friday evening. Christina Lamey said the space is to be used by residents who feel they will be unsafe through the storm, particularly those living on the southern coast of the region. Halifax was also set to open four evacuation centres on Friday evening.
In P.E.I. Public Safety Minister Darlene Compton warned people who might be curious to stay away from coastal areas, saying it wasn't worth it to watch the storm roll in.
“My message is simple - don't,” Compton said during a briefing. “Don't go near the water, don't put yourselves and others at risk.” An emergency alert from the province warned residents of severe flooding expected along the northern shoreline.
In downtown Charlottetown, the normally bustling Confederation Landing was unusually quiet. Restaurant owners Lisa and Robert Gale decided to keep Lobster on the Wharf open Friday afternoon to welcome a tour bus expected by 5 p.m. Robert Gale said the worst storm they had faced was Dorian. “We'd be lying if we said we weren't worried about Fiona,” his wife Lisa added.
Red chairs that usually sat on the deck were stacked in their office along with tables, and they were hoping the storm surges are not so high that there is water in the restaurant.
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey issued a statement aimed at reassuring the people of his province Friday, saying that a provincial emergency operations centre has been activated, while Department of Transportation crews were already checking culverts and removing debris.
“Stay home if at all possible as this will not only help keep you and your family safe, but will avoid putting emergency responders in harm's way,” said Furey.
In Quebec Friday, Premier Francois Legault said authorities were keeping a close eye on Fiona, which is on track to hit the Iles-de-la-Madeleine, Gaspe and the province's Lower North Shore.
“I want to tell people in those regions, be careful, there's a significant risk, prepare for the worst and we'll hope it goes well,” Legault said in Laval.
The PMO said late Friday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's departure for Japan is being delayed due to the ongoing situation with Hurricane Fiona. Trudeau plans to attend a state funeral for Japan's former prime minister Shinzo Abe.
Press Secretary Cecely Roy said on Twitter that Trudeau will be receiving briefings on the emergency response to the storm and will reach out to premiers. She said Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and Liberal Atlantic MPs are in close touch with their provincial counterparts.
“The federal government is ready to provide whatever support may be needed in the response, to keep Canadians safe.”

BUSAN, South Korea (AP) — The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan arrived in the South Korean port of Busan on Friday ahead of the two countries’ joint military exercise that aims to show their strength against growing North Korean threats.
The joint drills will be the first involving a U.S. aircraft carrier in the region since 2017, when the U.S. sent three aircraft carriers including the Reagan for naval drills with South Korea in response to North Korean nuclear and missile tests.
The allies this year have revived their large-scale military drills that were downsized or shelved in previous years to support diplomacy with Pyongyang or because of COVID-19, responding to North Korea’s resumption of major weapons testing and increasing threats of nuclear conflicts with Seoul and Washington.
The South Korean navy said the training is meant to boost the allies’ military readiness and show “the firm resolve by the Korea-U.S. alliance for the sake of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.”
“The commitment of the U.S. carrier strike group operating in and around the peninsula illustrates our commitment to stand together and our desire and focus ensuring that we are interoperable and integrated to face any challenge or threat whenever we are required,” Rear Adm. Michael Donnelly, commander of the carrier strike group, said in a news conference.
The North Korean threat is also expected to be a key agenda when U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris visits South Korea next week after attending the state funeral in Tokyo of slain former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
The Reagan’s arrival in South Korea comes after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told Pyongyang’s rubber-stamp parliament this month he would never abandon his nuclear weapons and missiles he needs to counter what he perceives as U.S. hostility.
North Korea also passed a new law that enshrined its status as a nuclear power and authorized the preemptive use of nuclear weapons over a broad range of scenarios where the country or its leadership comes under threat.
Sung Kim, the Biden administration’s special representative for North Korea, met with South Korean counterpart Kim Gunn on Thursday in Seoul, where they expressed “serious concern” over the North’s escalating nuclear doctrine spelled out in the new law, South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said.
The diplomats reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defend South Korea in the event of a nuclear war with the full range of its military capabilities, including nuclear. The allies also maintained their months-old assessment that North Korea is gearing up to conduct its first nuclear test since 2017 and discussed “stern” countermeasures to such an action, the ministry said.
North Korea has dialed up weapons testing to a record pace in 2022, launching more than 30 ballistic weapons including its intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017, as it exploits a divide in the U.N. Security Council deepened over Russia’s war on Ukraine.
While North Korea’s ICBMs garner much of U.S. attention because they pose a potential threat to the American homeland, the North has also been expanding its arsenal of nuclear-capable, shorter-range missiles designed to evade missile defenses in South Korea.
North Korea’s expanding arsenal and threats of preemptive nuclear attacks have triggered concerns in South Korea over the credibility of the U.S. “nuclear umbrella” protecting its allies in the event of war.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, a conservative who took office in May, has vowed to enhance South Korea’s conventional missile capabilities and work with the Biden administration to develop more effective strategies to deter North Korean attacks.
Senior U.S. and South Korean officials met in Washington this month for discussions on the allies’ deterrence strategies and issued a statement reaffirming that “any (North Korean) nuclear attack would be met with an overwhelming and decisive response.” The statement said the United States reiterated “its ironclad and unwavering commitment to draw on the full range of its military capabilities, including nuclear (one)” to provide extended deterrence to South Korea.
North Korea has so far rejected U.S. and South Korean calls to return to nuclear diplomacy, which have been stalled since 2019 over disagreements in exchanging the release of U.S.-led sanctions against the North and the North’s disarmament steps.
North Korea has harshly criticized Yoon for continuing military exercises with the U.S. and also for letting South Korean civilian activists fly anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets and other “dirty waste” across the border by balloon, even dubiously claiming the items caused its COVID-19 outbreak.
South Korean activists have continued to launch balloons after North Korea last month warned of “deadly” retaliation, triggering concern North Korea may react with a weapons test or even border skirmishes.
South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which deals with inter-Korean affairs, pleaded for activists to stop, citing safety reasons. Lee Hyo-jung, the ministry’s spokesperson, also said Friday that South Korea was prepared to sternly respond to any North Korean retaliation over leafletting.

A woman found dead near the Distillery District last July has been identified, Toronto police say.
Earlier this month, police made an appeal to the public, asking them to identify the woman who was found dead near Lake Shore Boulevard East and Cherry Street on the evening of July 23.
In addition, they released an artist rendering of the woman in the hopes that it would help someone recognize her.
On Friday, police revealed that the woman’s identity had been confirmed.
However, they did not release her name. Police have also not disclosed the cause of her death.
They thanked the public for their assistance in the case.

CLEVELAND (AP) — An unimaginable collapse still fresh in their minds, the Browns managed to avoid a second one in four days.
Jacoby Brissett threw two touchdown passes, Nick Chubb ran for a score and Cleveland bounced back from its epic meltdown by finishing off the rival Pittsburgh Steelers 29-17 on Thursday night.
“We had the right men in that room to be able to get past it,” Brissett said, “and I think we answered that call. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. The guys answered the bell.”
The Browns (2-1) built a nine-point lead early in the fourth on Chubb’s 1-yard run and then held on for dear life.
The Steelers (1-2) pulled within 23-17 on Chris Boswell’s 34-yard field goal with 1:48 left before Pittsburgh attempted an onside kick. But unlike in Sunday’s 31-30 loss, when the New York Jets overcame a 13-point deficit in the final 1:55 helped by a recovery, the Browns batted the ball out of bounds.
For a split second, it looked like Sunday all over again.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski was asked what he was thinking as the ball bounced around near Pittsburgh’s sideline. He paused for six seconds before answering.
“A lot,” he said.
Cleveland fans could finally exhale when cornerback Denzel Ward fell on a Steelers fumble in the end zone on the final play for a meaningless touchdown.
Brissett connected with Amari Cooper and David Njoku for TDs, and finished 21 of 31 for 220 yards. The 29-year-old had his second straight solid game as he fills in while Deshaun Watson serves an 11-game suspension.
Chubb had 113 yards and pushed and twisted across the goal line on fourth-and-goal with 9:29 left to put the Browns ahead 23-14.
Mitch Trubisky and the Steelers’ stagnant offense showed signs of life in the first half, but bogged down after halftime, punting on their first three possessions while gaining just 54 yards.
Criticized for not throwing deep the first two weeks, Trubisky launched a few long balls but didn’t connect nearly enough.
“I think Mitch made some plays, but we all collectively came up short,” said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who said he has no plans to switch to rookie QB Kenny Pickett. “Winning is our business. I wasn’t looking to be impressed, I was looking to win the game.”
Pittsburgh’s defense is missing star end T.J. Watt, but tackle Cameron Heyward said that wasn’t the issue.
“When you try to arm-tackle Nick Chubb, he’s going to make you pay,” Heyward said. “We need to do a lot better.”
The win smoothed over a rough few days for Cleveland.
Sunday’s debacle was followed by Myles Garrett criticizing fans for booing the Browns as they left the field, and a fan was arrested on charges he threw a plastic bottle in the direction of owner Jimmy Haslam on the sideline.
But there was little drama this time, just a win over their hated neighbors from Pennsylvania.
“That’s not an easy thing to bounce back from,” Stefanski said. “We talked about it on Sunday. We talked about it on Monday. What I’m proud of with those guys is you can’t let a loss linger, and we won’t let this win linger either. But I’m proud of how they responded. You’ve got to be resilient.”
Although there was little time to recover, Garrett was confident the Browns would be able to shake off Sunday’s loss.
“I didn’t have a doubt in my mind knowing this team and the guys who are on it,” he said. “I know everybody was anxious to get back on that field and get that taste out of our mouths and play a complete football game, and that’s what we did.
“Everybody did their job and all the teams came together to make it a really special win.”
Rookie Cade York’s 34-yard field goal gave the Browns a 16-14 lead in the third quarter, when Cleveland lost four players, including starting linebackers Anthony Walker Jr. and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, to injuries.
Brissett’s 7-yard TD pass to Njoku put the Browns up 13-7 with 8:58 left before halftime. But for the second straight week York missed an extra point.
Trubisky led the Steelers on a 75-yard scoring drive — 51 yards coming on the ground — before the QB rolled right and scored from the 1. Boswell’s PAT put Pittsburgh ahead 14-13.
Steelers rookie receiver George Pickens expressed frustration about not getting the ball during a loss to New England last week, saying he was open “90% of the time.” He wasn’t joking, either.
Trubisky finally hit him with a long ball, but it took a spectacular, one-handed catch by Pickens for a 36-yard gain.
BLOCK PARTY
Garrett failed to record a sack and remains just shy of Clay Matthews’ team record of 62. The Browns All-Pro defensive end was double-teamed, chipped and was credited with just assisted tackles.
DIFFERENT GUARDS
Cavaliers All-Star guards Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland served as the Browns’ honorary captains. Mitchell, recently acquired in a trade from Utah, smashed a fake guitar during pregame festivities.
INJURIES
Steelers: CB Ahkello Witherspoon (right hamstring) limped off in the third quarter and didn’t come back.
Browns: Walker was carted off with his left leg immobilized. Stefanski said Walker has a sprained knee and will undergo further tests. Walker appeared to get hurt when he was bent back awkwardly trying to fight off a block. … Owusu-Koramoah (groin) didn’t return. … LT Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) went out briefly but returned. … DT Taven Bryan (hamstring) also was hurt in the third. … S Ronnie Harrison injured his hamstring during warmups and didn’t play.
UP NEXT
Steelers: Host the New York Jets on Oct. 2.
Browns: Visit Atlanta on Oct. 2.

LONDON (AP) - This day, this match, had to come, of course, for Roger Federer, and for tennis, just as it inevitably must for every athlete in every sport.
Federer bid adieu Friday night with one last contest before he heads into retirement at age 41 after a superlative career that spanned nearly a quarter-century and included 20 Grand Slam titles and a statesman's role. He wrapped up his days as a professional player with a loss in doubles alongside his longtime rival Rafael Nadal for Team Europe in the Laver Cup against Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock of Team World.
The truth is that the victors, the statistics and the score (OK, for the record it was 4-6, 7-6 (2), 11-9) did not matter, and were all so entirely beside the point. The occasion was, after all, about the farewell itself. Or, better, the farewells, plural: Federer's to tennis, to the fans, to his competitors and colleagues. And, naturally, each of those entities' farewells to Federer.
“It's been a perfect journey,” Federer said. “I would do it all over again.”
When the match and, with it, his time in professional tennis, ended, Federer hugged Nadal, then Tiafoe and Sock. And then Federer began crying. There were plenty of tears to go around; Nadal wiped his own away, too. As cascades of clapping and yells of affection came from the stands, Federer put his hands on his hips, his chest heaving. Then he mouthed, “Thank you,” while applauding right back toward the spectators who had chanted, “Let's go, Roger! Let's go!” during the concluding moments of a match that lasted more than two hours and ended at about 12:30 a.m.
His wife, Mirka, their four children - twin girls and twin boys - and Federer's parents joined him on the court afterward for embraces and, yes, more bawling. Members of both teams joined together to hoist Federer up in the air.
“It's been a wonderful day. I told the guys I'm happy; I'm not sad,” Federer said. “I enjoyed tying my shoes one more time. Everything was the last time.”
The Swiss star announced last week that the three-day team event, which was founded by his management company, would be his final event before retirement, then made clear the doubles outing would be the last match. His surgically repaired right knee - the last of three operations came shortly after a loss in the Wimbledon quarterfinals in July 2021, which will go down as his official exit in singles - is in no shape to allow him to continue.
“For me, just personally, (it was) sad in the first moment, when I came to the conclusion it's the best decision,” Federer said in an interview with The Associated Press this week about his emotions when realizing it was time to go. “I kind of held it in at first, then fought it off. But I could feel the pain.”
He had said he wanted this to feel more like a party than a funeral, and the crowd obliged, rising for a loud and lengthy standing ovation when Federer and Nadal, who is 36 - each wearing a white bandanna, blue shirt and white shorts - emerged together from a tunnel leading out to the black court for the last match on Day 1 at the O2 Arena. They remained on their feet for nearly 10 minutes, through the pre-match warmup, holding aloft phone cameras to capture the moment.
They came ready to roar for him, some with Swiss flags, some with homemade signs (“Idol Forever” read one), and they made themselves heard with a wall of sound when Federer delivered a forehand volley winner on the match's second point. Similar reactions arrived merely at the chair umpire's announcement before the third game of “Roger Federer to serve,” and again when he closed that game with a 117 mph service winner.
“Obviously had 99.9% of the crowd against us. But it was super fun to just be a part of that match. I think we are going to be forever grateful to be a part of the GOAT's final match,” Sock said, using the acronym for “Greatest of All-Time.”
Doubles requires far less movement and court coverage, of course, so the stress on Federer's knee was limited Friday. He showed touches of his old flair, to be sure, and of rust, as to be expected.
There were a couple of early forehands that sailed several feet too long. There also was a forehand that slid right between Sock and Tiafoe and seemed too good to be true - and, it turned out, was: The ball traveled through a gap below the net tape and so the point was taken away from Federer and Nadal.
Although this match amounted to, essentially, a glorified exhibition, all four doubles participants played as if they wanted to win. That was clear when Sock, a three-time major champion in doubles who is 29, leaped and screamed after one particularly terrific volley or when Tiafoe, 24, sent a couple of shots right at Federer and Nadal.
But the circumstances did allow for moments of levity.
Federer and Nadal were able to laugh after a bit of confusion over which should go for a ball on a point they lost. After Nadal somehow flicked one back-to-the-net shot around the post, only for it to land barely wide, Tiafoe, a semifinalist at the U.S. Open, crossed over to extend a hand with congratulations for the effort.
In the first set, the older duo couldn't quite hear each other between points, so Federer trotted from the net back to the baseline to consult with Nadal, then pointed to his ear to signal what the issue was.
Before Federer began winning Grand Slam titles in 2003, the men's mark for most major tennis championships was 14 by Pete Sampras. Federer blew past that, accumulating eight at Wimbledon, six at the Australian Open, five at the U.S. Open and one at the French Open, setting a new standard that Nadal, now with 22, and Novak Djokovic, with 21, equaled, then surpassed, as part of a golden era for the sport.
Surely, there are those who would have found it particularly apt to see Federer finish across the net from Nadal, often an on-court nemesis but eventually an off-court friend. Maybe it could have taken place about 15 miles away at Centre Court of the All England Club, say, or in Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros, or Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park, or even Arthur Ashe Stadium, the centerpiece of the U.S. Open, the lone Grand Slam tournament at which they never faced off, somehow.
Perhaps they could have provided everyone with one final installment of a head-to-head matchup as memorable as any in the long history of their sport - or, indeed, any other.
Roger vs. Rafa - just one name apiece required - belongs up there with McEnroe vs. Borg (as it happens, the two Laver Cup team captains, John and Bjorn), Evert vs. Navratilova, Sampras vs. Agassi, Ali vs. Frazier, Magic vs. Bird, Brady vs. Manning, and so on.
Over the years, Federer and Nadal showed off individual greatness and compelling contrasts across their 40 matches, 14 at Grand Slam tournaments, nine in major finals: righty vs. lefty, attacker vs. grinder, seeming effortlessness vs. relentless intensity.
And yet, there was an unmistakable element of poetry with these two men who challenged each other and elevated each other performing as partners, slapping palms and sharing smiles.
This goodbye follows that of Serena Williams, the owner of 23 major singles championships, at the U.S. Open three weeks ago after a third-round loss. It leaves questions about the future of a game he and she dominated, and transcended, for decades.
One key difference: Each time Williams took the court in New York, the looming question was how long her stay would endure - a “win or this is it” prospect.
Friday WAS it for Federer, no matter the result.
“All the players will miss him,” said Casper Ruud, who beat Sock in singles 6-4, 5-7, 10-7.
The day's other results, which left Team Europe and Team World tied at 2-2: Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated Diego Schwartzman 6-2, 6-1 in a match interrupted briefly when an environmental protester lit a portion of the court and his own arm on fire, and Alex de Minaur got past Andy Murray 5-7, 6-3, 10-7.
Due to begin playing shortly after the end of Murray's loss, Federer and Nadal first provided him with some coaching tips, then watched part of that one on TV together in a room at the arena, waiting for their turn. When Federer and Nadal were in action, it was Djokovic's turn to suggest strategy.
The last hurrah came after a total of 103 career singles trophies and 1,251 wins in singles matches for Federer, both second only to Jimmy Connors in the Open era, which began in 1968.
At the height of his powers, Federer appeared in a record 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals, winning eight, from 2005-07. Extend that to 2010, and he reached 18 of 19 major finals.
More than those numbers, folks will remember the powerful forehand, the one-handed backhand, the flawless footwork, the spectacularly effective serve and eagerness to get to the net, the willingness to reinvent aspects of his game and - the part of which he's proudest - the unusual longevity. Beyond the elegance and effectiveness while wielding a racket, Federer's persona made him an ambassador for tennis, someone whose immense popularity helped attract fans.
“It does feel like a celebration to me,” Federer said before taking a stroll akin to a victory lap around the venue, blowing kisses and waving. “I wanted to feel like this at the end, and it's exactly what I hoped for.” | https://www.cp24.com/sports/roger-federer-loses-last-match-of-career-at-laver-cup-1.6081919 | 2022-09-24T02:03:43 | en | 0.974414 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge turned around a fastball in the ninth inning, and the already-standing crowd of 43,123 at Yankee Stadium erupted in noise, wondering, hoping he had hit a record-tying 61st home run and clinched a playoff berth with one mighty swing.
Seconds later, groans arose in unison. Kiké Hernández made the catch a step in front of the fence, 404 feet from the plate.
Judge remained one shy of the American League record set by New York slugger Roger Maris in 1961. But the Yankees did accomplish goal No. 1: Josh Donaldson’s 10th-innng RBI single gave them a 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox and clinched their sixth straight playoff berth and 24th in 28 years.
“A great accomplishment. A lot of hard work over the course of the season to get to this point,” said Judge, who also threw out a runner at second base to help hold off Boston in the ninth. “But I think you could ask anybody in this room: The job’s not finished. We have an ultimate goal of going out there and winning our division, and setting ourselves up for the postseason. And this is step No. 1, step No. 1 of many steps to come.”
Coming within a few feet of his fourth walk-off home run this year, Judge went without a long ball for the second straight game since hitting No. 60 to match Babe Ruth’s 1927 season.
Judge has 13 games remaining. He walked three times and struck out once before his drive off Matt Barnes just to the right of straightaway center.
“I thought it would have been pretty showy to drop it at Monument Park out there,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
Judge didn’t think it was gone, not on the first night of autumn with the game-time temperature a crisp 68 degrees.
“I just got underneath it a little bit,” he said. “A pretty windy night, so I was hoping maybe it was blowing out at the time I was hitting, but just missed it.”
The ball left the bat at 113 mph, the hardest-hit by anyone in the game.
“I go out there and get caught up in the history of what he could potentially be doing and I start tiptoeing around the at-bat, I’m probably going to hang something,” Barnes said.
Before each of the 26 pitches to Judge, Yankee Stadium’s usual cacophony was replaced by a silence more familiar at a church or golf course.
“Literally, you could hear a pin drop,” Donaldson said. “It’s kind of spooky, really.”
Jameson Taillon, who pitched six scoreless innings, said Judge’s pursuit altered teammates’ routines.
“There’s guys that are inside and stuff watching the game,” Taillon said, “and whenever he comes up, everyone runs outside to watch the at-bat because no one wants to miss it.”
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred was on hand. Judge’s fame has extended beyond the sport — he appears on the cover of the Oct. 3 issue of The New Yorker.
After an 0-for-2 night, Judge remained on track for an AL Triple Crown with a .316 batting average and 128 RBIs. Boston’s Xander Bogaerts is second in batting at .314 after going hitless in five at-bats.
With the score 4-all, Tommy Pham led off the ninth with a one-hopper off the right-field wall against Clay Holmes (7-4). Judge played the carom and from the warning track threw a 92.3 mph strike to shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa for the tag. It was Judge’s sixth assist of the season.
Then in the 10th, with pinch-runner Marwin Gonzalez at second as the automatic runner, Kaleb Ort (0-2) intentionally walked Gleyber Torres before Donaldson grounded a single just past diving third baseman Rafael Devers and into left.
New York grounded into four double plays but had built a 3-0 lead on Kyle Higashioka’s sacrifice fly and Giancarlo Stanton’s 28th homer, a two-run shot against Michael Wacha.
Triston Casas hit a solo homer and pinch-hitter Reese McGuire delivered a three-run drive for Boston in a four-run seventh off Clarke Schmidt. Harrison Bader had a tying sacrifice fly in the eighth after Stanton’s leadoff infield single and a stolen base by Tim Locastro — he was called out initially but a video review reversed the decision.
Donaldson gave a speech to teammates after the Yankees secured their record 58th postseason appearance with their major league-high 16th walk-off win of the season, one shy of the team standard set in 1947.
“Welcome back to the playoffs,” he told them.
New York has a 7 1/2-game lead in the AL East over second-place Toronto, on track for a first-round bye. Boone became the first manager to reach the postseason in each of his first five seasons, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
“We’re in the dance and we got a chance now,” he said.
CHOPPY CHAPMAN
Aroldis Chapman had another shaky outing for the Yankees in relief, walking two batters with one out in the eighth — the second on four pitchers.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: 2B Trevor Story (bruised left heel) went back on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, and 1B/3B Bobby Dalbec was recalled from Triple-A Worcester.
Yankees: LHP Zack Britton (Tommy John surgery) was activated from the 60-day IL and LHP Wandy Peralta (back) was put on the 15-day IL, retroactive to Monday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ranger Suárez pitched six sparkling innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies continued their push toward the club’s first playoff berth in a decade with a 1-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night.
Matt Vierling knocked in the only run in the game with a second-inning sacrifice fly to center that scored J.T. Realmuto.
Suárez allowed five hits, struck out four and walked two. Zach Eflin got five outs before José Alvarado finished the six-hitter for his second save.
“I just focused on throwing quality pitches,” said Suárez, who earned a no-decision in his previous start against Atlanta last week. “That’s the main thing. It’s really tough when you face the same lineup back to back. We knew coming in that it would be like that, but I had a good plan with J.T.”
Philadelphia (82-67) moved within a half-game of San Diego for the National League’s second wild-card spot and remained 2 1/2 games ahead of Milwaukee for the final playoff berth. The Phillies also hold the season series edge over the Brewers, which serves as the tiebreaker this year after Major League Baseball eliminated the single-game tiebreaker under its expanded playoff format.
“It was a tight game with a lot of pressure and they came through,” Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said. “Ranger was as cool as a cucumber and just pitched like we’ve seen in the past. He was tremendous. Nothing in the game bothers Eflin. And we wanted to see by the end of the year if Alvarado could pitch the ninth and more than one inning and he did that tonight.”
The Braves (93-57) fell 1 1/2 games behind the idle New York Mets for the NL East lead. The two teams meet in Atlanta next weekend for the final three scheduled games against each other this season. Atlanta has clinched a playoff berth and is presently seeded as the NL’s top wild card.
“Ranger is good and he came out throwing a lot of strikes,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “And we couldn’t get anything going.”
Atlanta played without outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., who was scratched because of back tightness that he felt during batting practice.
The Braves threatened in the sixth, loading the bases with two out. But Suárez escaped the jam when he retired Michael Harris II on a grounder to first.
Eflin and Alvarado combined to finish the Phillies’ 14th shutout of the season.
Braves starter Max Fried (13-7) struck out eight in five innings.
“It’s a really good lineup and when you face them in back-to-back starts, they are going to grind out at-bats,” Fried said. “I would have loved to have been more efficient and gone deeper in the game.”
Atlanta slugger Austin Riley had three hits for his 46th multihit game of the season, second-most among NL players behind Los Angeles’ Freddie Freeman.
Both teams were affected by high cross-field winds. Two potential home-run balls — one by Philadelphia’s Rhys Hoskins, and one for Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna — were knocked down at the warning track in left field by the 17-mph winds.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves: RHP Mike Soroka will be shut down for the rest of the season due to right elbow inflammation. Snitker said there was no structural damage in Soroka’s elbow and he will gear toward returning for the 2023 season.
Phillies: OF Brandon Marsh was out of the lineup for a second straight game with a left knee contusion. Vierling — who went 5 for 5 in Philadelphia’s 4-3 win over Toronto on Wednesday night — started in center field for Marsh.
UP NEXT
The series continues Friday night with RHP Aaron Nola (9-12, 3.38 ERA) opposing Atlanta RHP Jake Odorizzi (5-5, 4.04 ERA).

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Wander Franco had three RBIs, Jonathan Aranda homered and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-5 on Thursday night in the opener of a big four-game series between playoff contenders.
Randy Arozarena had three hits and drove in two runs for the Rays, who were coming off a three-game series in which they were swept by Houston and scored just twice.
“Baseball’s weird. I saw a score tonight that was a little different.” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. “They do a good job of flushing it, getting to the next day, coming in ready to work, get better, and find a way to win.”
Tampa Bay (83-67) pulled within one game of Toronto (84-66) for the top spot in the AL wild-card standings. Seattle (82-67) is in third, four games ahead of Baltimore.
Whit Merrifield homered twice for Toronto, and Teoscar Hernández also went deep. José Berríos (11-6) was tagged for six runs and seven hits in two innings.
“It was just a little bit weird with getting ahead and not putting guys away,” Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider said of Berríos, who threw 74 pitches,.
Toronto has dropped three of four after winning 13 of 17 to start September.
Manuel Margot’s infield RBI single, and run-scoring hits by Franco and Arozarena put the Rays up 6-3 in the second.
Franco added a two-run double during the Rays’ three-run fourth.
“I think we did the right adjustments today,” Franco said through a translator. “We played really good, and hopefully we can continue on with this energy.”
Cash opted to have Ryan Yarbrough (3-8) replace opener JT Chargois to start the second, facing a pair of hitters with some career success against the lefty.
Hernández hit a leadoff homer, his seventh in 34 at-bats against Yarbrough. One out later, Merrifield tied it at 3 with his solo shot, giving him seven hits, including two homers, in nine at-bats against the left-hander.
Merrifield added a two-run drive in the ninth.
Yarbrough left in the third with right oblique strain and is “highly likely going on the IL,” according to Cash.
Garrett Cleavinger replaced Yarbrough and allowed one hit in two scoreless innings before Shawn Armstrong, Brooks Raley and Colin Poche combined for three hitless innings.
Aranda homered on the second pitch from Berríos in a three-run first. Arozarena hit a run-scoring double, went to third on a throw to the plate and scored on a wild pitch.
Toronto’s Bo Bichette hit a run-scoring double in the first, giving him 24 RBIs in 21 games in September.
CATCH OF THE GAME
Rays radio play-by-play man Andy Freed caught a foul ball from Toronto’s George Springer during the seventh in a net the broadcasters keep in their box.
MANOAH MAGIC
The Blue Jays are lining up right-hander Alek Manoah (14-7. 2.40 ERA) to start the final regular-season game or a potential wild-card opener.
Schneider would use Manoah if home-field advantage was at stake.
“I think there would be nothing better than playing in front of our fans in the postseason after the last couple years (impacted by the pandemic),” Schneider said. “We haven’t been there with what the world and country has been through.”
COMING AND GOING
Rays right-hander Kevin Herget, who made his big league debut on Sept. 13 after a decade in the minors, was designated for assignment.
Infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni was selected from Triple-A Durham after seven years in the minors and a couple weeks following his brother’s wedding.
“It’s been an eventful month for our family,” Mastrobuoni said.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (left hamstring) is doing baseball activities and could soon start running . … INF Santiago Espinal (left oblique) went on the IL.
Rays: Ace Shane McClanahan (neck stiffness) had a bullpen session and is set to start Sunday. … 3B Yandy Díaz (left shoulder) got a cortisone shot. … Cash said 2B Brandon Lowe (back) is still sore but it isn’t known if it stems from the injury or a recent shot.
UP NEXT
Rays LHP Jeffrey Springs (9-4) will start Friday night. Toronto has not announced its starter.

- Through this bill, the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) will allow depositories to issue receipts for digital financial assets (DFA).
- The Central Bank is currently reviewing the bill drafted by the MOEX.
- It is yet to be determined whether the crypto assets will be sold through brokers or directly to the final buyer.
The demand for crypto assets and related services is ever-increasing, and many countries are finding their own ways to meet that demand. Among them is Moscow Exchange (MOEX), which is also taking matters into its own hands to become the country’s very own cryptocurrency exchange.
Moscow Exchange to also become a Crypto Exchange
According to a report by the daily newspaper Vedomosti, the MOEX has drafted a bill that will provide the exchange with the necessary powers to act as a crypto exchange. The bill is currently at the mercy of the Central Bank, which will decided whether or not the people of Moscow will enjoy the two forms of crypto offerings.
As stated by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Exchange, Sergey Shvetsov, the bill will allow for the issuance of a receipt for crypto assets. These receipts can be used and traded as securities for individuals that are not comfortable with the custodial risks of associating with a distributed registry.
The second offering will be the direct release of cryptocurrency assets, as Shvetsov explained that MOEX would be appealing to the regulators to receive the status of an exchange operator and eliminate the need for a third-party operator.
Commenting on the same, Shvetsov explained,
“We want the market to make its own choice, blockchain accounting or depository accounting, and if the law is adopted, then Russian depositories will be able to accumulate DFA on their accounts in the blockchain - as soon as the client needs the underlying asset, he will repay the receipt and receive the asset on his account in the blockchain.”
Taking the centralized route
Despite propagating the adoption of crypto through this bill, MOEX and other crypto services will maintain a centralized structure. The reason behind this given by Shvetsov is that people need to ensure that there is someone that can answer them should something go south. Shvetsov stated,
“When it is not clear who to call and who to sue, many do not want to participate in this.”
The bill, however, could take time to come to life as it is currently being reviewed by the Central Bank of Russia.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – New Mexico women coming out of incarceration will soon have the ability to live in temporary housing provided by Crossroads For Women. During the summer, the organization purchased a 15-unit apartment building in the International District that will be used as temporary housing for women searching for a place to live as they transition back into society.

Community groups have the option to Adopt an Apartment to sponsor the renovation of an apartment unit. The interiors are still a work in progress but thanks to the Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity, the outside of the apartment has a vibrant new look. The building is called Casa de Mariposa and has butterflies painted onto the front of the building to welcome new tenants.
Heather Cunningham with Habitat for Humanity said the organization is helping renovate the exterior of the building as part of their Women Build program. “We encourage women in the community to come out and participate in a project that gives back. Usually, our annual Women Builds are held on the new construction job site,” Cunningham said. “I just felt like this was a perfect project for us to kind of have women out here working on a project for women.”
Additionally, safe lighting was installed and parking lines were repainted, and all work done outside was completed on Friday. Renovations are still being done on the inside. The organization plans to have the project completed within one year of its launch. | https://www.krqe.com/news/community/volunteers-continue-work-on-temporary-housing-for-new-mexico-women/ | 2022-09-24T02:05:54 | en | 0.97019 |

(Motor Authority) — Ford has submitted a patent application for power outlets integrated into vehicle roof rails, which the automaker believes could come in handy while tailgating or camping.
Filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on January 12, 2021, and published on July 14, 2022, the application describes a pretty straightforward setup. Power outlets are added to roof rails, protected by removable covers, and connected to a power source in the vehicle.

Ford seems to view this as a good feature for tailgating or camping, as both are mentioned multiple times throughout the application. The automaker suggests everything from smartphones and laptops to portable heaters and lights could be plugged into roof rails to make outdoor gatherings more hospitable.
Use of vehicles to power electronic devices will likely increase with the continued rise of hybrids and EVs. Ford already offers built-in outlets for the beds of the PowerBoost hybrid and all-electric Lightning versions of the F-150 pickup truck, with the Lightning even able to charge other EVs or provide emergency backup power for homes, the automaker claims.

Other automakers also offer ways to power your devices. Mitsubishi has offered this capability on the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid for some time, and Hyundai included it as part of its E-GMP dedicated EV platform. But no automaker has put outlets in the roof rails of a production vehicle so far.
It’s worth emphasizing a patent application does not constitute firm plans for production; automakers often file applications to protect intellectual property before any production plans are fleshed out. But one recent Ford patent application—for remote engine revving—did translate into a product feature on the 2024 Mustang. | https://www.fox44news.com/automotive/ford-patents-power-outlets-in-roof-rails/ | 2022-09-24T02:09:51 | en | 0.943212 |

HONOLULU (KHON) — A seafloor ridge located in the southwest Pacific Ocean that stretches from New Zealand to Tonga has the highest density of underwater volcanoes in the world, according to NASA Earth Observatory, and on Sept. 10, one of them awoke.
The Home Reef seamount in the Central Tonga Islands has been oozing lava since then. Eleven hours after the eruption began, a new island surfaced.
The Tonga Geological Services reported that the new island continued to grow through Sept. 20, covering approximately 24,000 square meters (6 acres).
“The volcano activity poses low risks to the Aviation Community and the residents of Vava‘u and Ha‘apai,” Tonga Geological Services said in a statement issued on Sept. 22. “No visible ash in the past 24 hours was reported. All Mariners are advised to sail beyond 4km away from Home Reef until further notice.”
According to NASA, islands created by submarine volcanoes are often short-lived, though they occasionally persist for years. For example, an island created by a 12-day eruption from nearby Late‘iki Volcano in 2020 washed away after two months, while an island created in 1995 by the same volcano remained for over two decades.
There have been four recorded periods of eruptions at Home Reef, with small islands forming. Click here to follow updates on the new island. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/a-new-island-is-born-in-the-pacific-ocean/ | 2022-09-24T02:10:03 | en | 0.96273 |

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Two road construction workers are facing charges after one allegedly ran into a Pinellas County deputy with a forklift, killing him, and fled the scene.
The collision occurred just after 11 p.m. Thursday. Investigators say the man believed to be responsible, 32-year-old Juan Ariel Molina Salles, was a Honduran migrant who was in the country illegally.
Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said Deputy Michael Hartwick, a 51-year-old veteran officer and father, was in a construction zone, working a traffic detail when he was struck by a front end loader with a forklift.
Hartwick had parked his cruiser to block two inside southbound lanes and was standing on the shoulder of the road, facing north when he was hit.
Gualtieri said the front end loader, which was used to lift concrete barriers, was traveling at about 20 mph. Hartwick died instantly.
The forklift operator, Molina-Salles, allegedly continued driving for about a quarter of a mile before he pulled into a parking area, got out of the vehicle and told another construction worker about what happened. He gave the worker his helmet and vest and ran off on foot, Gualtieri said.
The sheriff said they initially believed Molina-Salles was named Victor Vazquez, of Puerto Rico, but it turned out to be a fake name. Molina-Salles had previously been denied entry to the U.S. by Border Patrol at the U.S.-Mexican border and sent back.
“He came back in through the Texas border, he is here illegally, and he’s been here in the Tampa Bay area since March of this year,” the sheriff said.
Gualtieri said the other worker hid Molina-Salles’ uniform. That worker also gave deputies a fake name and was identified as being Elieser Aurelio Gomez-Zelaya, sheriff’s officials said.
Gomez-Zelaya was arrested on a charge of being an accessory after the fact.
Gualtieri said about 100 officers and K9 teams spent hours searching the area for Molina-Salles.
“After a nine hour manhunt conducted by local law enforcement agencies, PCSO K9 and our flight unit, Molina was located by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office bloodhound hiding in a brush area,” the sheriff’s office said in a release. “He was taken into custody and charged with one count leaving the scene of a crash involving death.”
However, the investigation was hampered by other workers at the scene, the sheriff said. He alleged that many of them hired by the contractor, Archer Western, were in the country illegally and lied to investigators at the scene.
According to Gualtieri, Molina Salles fled because he was afraid after he killed Hartwick. The sheriff said the suspect also didn’t have a driver’s license and should not have been driving, much less working.
“He has no qualifications to drive a front loader, and he said what he told these people is that back in Honduras, he worked some construction, and he knows how to operate this thing so they said go ahead,” he said. “Is that really what these contractors are doing? Is that how they’re doing business?”
Gualtieri said the migrant didn’t even give the employer a driver’s license, just a fake North Carolina ID card.
Molina-Salles was taken into custody Friday morning, the sheriff’s office said, and faces a charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving a death, a first-degree felony.
Gualtieri said Hartwick had worked for the sheriff’s office for 19 years. He was assigned to the patrol division, and worked the night shift for the North District Station.
He is survived by his mother and adult children, according to the sheriff.
“All I can say is here we go again. This is 18 months after Deputy Magli was killed,” Gualtieri said. “We go 110 years in the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office with no line-of-duty deaths, now we have two in 18 months.”
St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch said he was saddened by Hartwick’s death and expressed his condolences to the deputy’s family.
“These men and women put their lives on the line day in and day out and it’s imperative to us avoid avoidable accidents that caused this tragedy,” Welch said. “Our entire St. Pete family sends our love and prayers to Deputy Hardwick’s friends and family may your PCSO family remain strong and protected.”
Archer Western – de Moya Joint Venture II, the company handling the Gateway Expressway Project, said it is cooperating with the investigations. Gualtieri said ICE would be notified of the situation as well since the sheriff’s office has no jurisdiction on undocumented immigrants and homeland security matters. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/construction-worker-accused-of-killing-florida-deputy-with-front-end-loader/ | 2022-09-24T02:10:09 | en | 0.982746 |

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — The autopsy report for Elijah McClain, the man who died after an encounter with the Colorado police and paramedics in 2019 has been amended.
The Adams County Coroner’s Office released the amended autopsy report on Friday to explain that McClain’s death resulted from complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint.
McClain’s manner of death is still listed as undetermined.
“I believe this tragic fatality is most likely the result of ketamine toxicity. These deaths are usually classified as ACCIDENT. I do not have evidence of trauma or lethal asphyxiation during restraint sufficient to cause death,” the coroner explained.
The coroner’s office also said that at the time of the original autopsy report, the cause and manner of death were deemed undetermined because of insufficient information.
Since then, the coroner’s office said they received extensive body camera footage, witness statements, and additional records.
“After review of all material available to us at this time, it is my opinion that this 23-year-old, African American male, Elijah McClain, died of complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint,” the coroner’s office explained.
Nexstar’s KDVR has been covering the McClain case since August 2019, when McClain was confronted by three Aurora police officers, injected with ketamine by paramedics and later died.
There have been many questions about McClain’s cause of death after he was put in a carotid hold and given ketamine.
An undetermined cause of death case makes it extremely difficult to prosecute a case, legal expert George Brauchler said.
Three police officers and two paramedics are facing manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges in McClain’s death and are scheduled to appear for an arraignment in November.
First responders involved in case
A 157-page independent investigation outlined several missteps in the police department’s handling of the internal investigation into what happened. The report even suggested investigators designed questions to help exonerate the officers involved.
Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order in June 2020, assigning Attorney General Phil Weiser as a special prosecutor to investigate McClain’s death.
Dave Young was the DA for the 17th Judicial District when he issued a letter to Aurora Police on Nov. 22, 2019, detailing why he chose not to file criminal charges against anyone for the death of McClain.
Nearly two years later, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced there was enough evidence to file 32 counts, including manslaughter against five men. Three were police officers at the time and two were paramedics. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/elijah-mcclains-manner-of-death-remains-undetermined-in-amended-autopsy/ | 2022-09-24T02:10:15 | en | 0.969989 |

(WLNS) — This deer is ready for the NBA!
The Michigan State Police Fifth District account recently tweeted some dashcam video of an athletic deer casually jumping over a car on the road.
The deer was one of several crossing the road at the time, and luckily disaster was averted on multiple fronts. MSP used the video as an opportunity to remind people to watch out for deer this fall.
“Reminder: If deer cross your path – apply controlled braking; steer straight; don’t swerve,” MSP Fifth District said.
Avoiding deer-car crashes
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says there are few things to do if it looks like you’re about to hit a deer.
The department says you should brake firmly but stay in your lane. Do not swerve to avoid the animal, since this could create more danger for you and other vehicles.
Be aware of when you’re most likely to encounter deer on roadways: TPWD says the highest-risk periods are from sunset to midnight and in the hours before sunrise. Drivers should remember that deer rarely travel solo — if you see one, there are likely more nearby.
As previously mentioned, fall is also a very active time for deer.
The Conversation reports the highest-risk time of autumn is once daylight saving time ends, which varies each year. This year, daylight saving time is scheduled to end Sunday, Nov. 6. It’s during this time that there are more drivers on the road in the dark, increasing odds of collisions.
It’s also important, Consumer Reports recommends, to use slower speeds overall during high-risk time periods. Additionally, it goes without saying that drivers should always wear their seatbelts.
There are over 1 million deer-vehicle crashes each year in the U.S., says the Conversation. That’s about 200 human deaths and 29,000 serious injuries.
What should you do if you see an injured deer on the road?
It depends on the deer’s condition on what you should do.
Texas Parks and Wildlife explains you should call your local game warden if the deer has only been hit or injured.
If you’re sure the deer is dead, TPWD says you can (as safely as possible) move the deer out of the roadway and alert your local department of transportation. It’s advised, however, that you avoid touching deer as much as possible. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/whoa-michigan-deer-seen-jumping-over-car-on-police-dashcam/ | 2022-09-24T02:10:21 | en | 0.955172 |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – In just a few weeks, the Biden administration says borrowers will be able to apply for student loan forgiveness. With the cost of college still high, many lawmakers and advocates say there’s more to do on this issue.
Millions of people will soon see a drop in their student debt balance after President Joe Biden announced a plan to forgive up to $20,000 dollars for borrowers. It also caps regular loan payments at 5% of someone’s income and wipes out loans for some after 10 years of repayment.
Carmel Martin with the White House Domestic Policy Council says the application for forgiveness should be available sometime in October.
“The Department of Education is working around the clock to stand up the program,” Martin said.
Even with these steps, advocates are looking ahead. Melissa Byrne, with the group “We the 45M,” hopes this is just the beginning.
“Renew the fight for free college, renew the fight to get more debt canceled,” Byrne said.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says he recognizes loan forgiveness alone isn’t enough.
“Everybody has some work to do to make sure that college is more affordable, including our colleagues in higher education,” Cardona said.
Many lawmakers agree that there’s more to do on this issue, and they have some ideas.
Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., introduced a bill that would double the size of Pell grants and lower interest rates for loans.
“The student loan crisis isn’t the fault of the students,” Scott said.
He believes his LOAN Act can build on the President’s actions.
“We should be making college accessible to everyone,” Scott said. “Everyone should have the opportunity to move up in society and a college education is the quickest route to do that.”
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., also has a pitch on college affordability. He introduced legislation that would make colleges pay half the balance of any student loan that’s fallen into default.
“The colleges ought to be the ones who are on the hook for the loans. That’s, I think, the way to really get at the issue here, which is that these colleges are getting rich by taking the money from students and giving them worthless degrees,” Hawley said.
Neither plan will move forward unless Democrats and Republicans find some common ground. | https://www.fox44news.com/washington/washington-dc/lawmakers-and-advocates-look-for-next-steps-on-student-debt-problem/ | 2022-09-24T02:10:36 | en | 0.972138 |
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — An attempted robbery of an armored car in Oakland on Friday left one person dead and two others injured, including a Brink's employee, police said.
Reports of a shooting sent officers to a parking lot outside an auto parts store at about 2 p.m., where they found two people with gunshot wounds, police said.
One died at the scene and the other, a Brink's employee, was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said.
A third person — an innocent bystander who was struck by gunfire — went separately to a hospital, police said.
Witnesses told KTVU-TV that they heard as many as 20 gunshots.
Authorities said a white car with several people inside was involved in the shooting.
“We are looking for information and video related to that vehicle and to those individuals in that vehicle. We’re trying to identify them as well,” Armstrong said.
He said the FBI is involved in the investigation.
Brink’s told KPIX-TV that the company was working with law enforcement and didn’t have any information to share.
It was the sixth deadly shooting in Oakland this week and the 92nd homicide of the year. Armstrong asked the public to come forward with information to help solve the recent killings.
“We also ask the community to continue to get rid of the guns that continue to plague our community,” the chief said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/1-killed-2-wounded-in-California-Brink-s-truck-17463449.php | 2022-09-24T02:10:40 | en | 0.987203 |
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Grants Pass police killed a resident this week while chasing a suspect from a city park into a neighborhood after a suspicious-activity call, according to Oregon State Police.
Police responded to the call around 8 p.m. Monday and came upon a suspect, who fled on foot into a nearby neighborhood, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
During the pursuit and search that followed, police say an officer encountered an armed resident and shot him. Oregon State Police identified the resident as Mark Barrett Caldwell, 46.
Police said they are still searching for the “initial male suspect who fled."
The unidentified officer who shot Caldwell was put on administrative leave, and Oregon State Police are investigating.
Caldwell was taken to Rogue Valley Medical Center in Medford, where he died Thursday, police said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Cops-shoot-kill-Grants-Pass-resident-during-17463426.php | 2022-09-24T02:10:46 | en | 0.973969 |
CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit radio news anchor died Friday in a domestic dispute that left four other people hospitalized, the man's radio station and authorities said.
Jim Matthews, the overnight news anchor at WWJ-AM for about seven years, died in the attack, the station reported.
Chesterfield Township Public Safety Director Brian Bassett said a 35-year-old woman had been stabbed multiple times, a 10-year-old boy was found tied up in a closet with trauma to his head, and a 5-year-old girl also was injured.
The woman was in critical but stable condition; her daughter was in stable condition; and the boy was in critical condition, Bassett said.
Witnesses described the woman holding a small child running from the house “covered in blood,” Bassett said.
Inside the home, police found Matthews dead and the boy bound in a closet with blunt force trauma injuries. When they searched, they found a 54-year-old man who was overdosing and had self-inflicted wounds in the basement. He was in stable condition.
It wasn't clear how Matthews died. Bassett said a gun was not involved.
Matthews was the father of the two injured children, a co-worker said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Detroit-radio-anchor-killed-in-attack-4-others-17463392.php | 2022-09-24T02:10:53 | en | 0.990177 |
MARSHALL WHITMAN
Marshall Whitman died peacefully on Sept. 12, surrounded by family, after a brief respiratory illness. He was 84.
He spent his life defying expectations and collecting friends along the way.
Born Dec. 9, 1937, in Warren, Ohio, he was the middle child of and only son of Rose and Harry Whitman. Like his father, he loved sports and travel. Like his mother, he was a life-long learner and voracious reader. Marshall entered the world without a breath, suffering from an oxygen deprivation that left a lifelong impact on his intellect but didn’t dampen his curiosity nor slow his capacity to barrel through many presumed limitations.
He graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1955 and worked as a young man on the custodial staff of King’s department store in his hometown, before moving to Southern California to live near his sister Phyllis, happily on his own for the first time in his mid-50s. Throughout his life, Marshall’s warm, friendly disposition and genuine interest in others drew people to him. He was deeply involved in the community of Kivel Campus of Care in Phoenix, where he had lived since 2006. During his years at Kivel, Marshall served on the Residents Committee and joyfully spent his time participating in classes, outings, games, and social activities. He was a regular at shabbat and holiday services, often scheduling other activities around them. In the quiet of his apartment, he enjoyed listening to CDs from his eclectic music collation - jazz, rock, and classical ranking high among his favorites – and watching sports.
Though he’d happily watch any football game, anytime, it was the Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals and Ohio State Buckeyes that truly held Marshall’s heart. (Go Bucks, Go Brownies, Go Cards!)
Marshall was proceeded in death by his parents, Rose and Harry Whitman and sister Sandra (Frank) Goodman. He is survived by his sister Phyllis (John) Shaffer, nephew Louis Goodman (Tom Siebenaler), nieces Margie (Lenny) Sussman; Stefanie (Don) Foreman, Holly Goodman, many great nieces and nephews, and a great-great niece.
He will be deeply missed by friends, family and his Kivel family.

BOISE, Idaho. (AP) — Embattled Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee has resigned at the request of the city's mayor, Lauren McLean.
The city’s announcement came Friday afternoon after KTVB reported this week that nine officers had filed complaints against Lee, and after an investigation into an allegation that he injured a high-ranking officer during a training demonstration last year.
Sgt. Kirk Rush has said Lee broke parts of his neck during the demonstration, which required surgery to repair. Clearwater Prosecutor Clayne Tyler late last month told officials that while he felt there was probable cause to support charging Lee with felony battery, he wasn’t sure he could prove the crime in court.
Lee’s attorney Chuck Peterson said earlier this year that Rush’s claims were “completely untrue.”
McLean told the Idaho Statesman Friday she was having “conversations about management” and examining Lee’s role within the department.
Boise City spokesperson Maria Weeg told KTVB: “It became clear to the mayor the department needed different leadership.”
Lee’s resignation will take effect Oct. 14, but he will be placed on leave until then, city officials said in a statement.
McLean has appointed retired officer Ron Winegar as acting chief. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Embattled-Boise-police-chief-resigns-at-mayor-s-17463369.php | 2022-09-24T02:10:59 | en | 0.981495 |

About half of lone soldiers, who come from 80 countries around the world to serve in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), will experience their worst loneliness during the upcoming holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The other half are Israelis who have no family or are not welcome to come to their family’s home.
The fact that their Israeli comrades with loving families get to go home and have all their needs taken care of tends to worsen lone soldiers’ homesickness. By comparison, because of the high cost of rentals in Israel, many lone soldiers are living in a modestly furnished apartment with several other lone soldiers and must shop for all of their own meals. The Jewish holidays represent a gathering time for family and friends, the memories of which will be strong while they are in Israel. Protecting Israel in the IDF is both physically and emotionally exhausting, keeping Lone Soldiers continuously busy. The holidays offer time for reflection and memories.
Fortunately, lone soldiers’ centers in Israel provide a warm, welcoming place to gather for holidays, prayer and enjoyable holiday meals. These events could never duplicate the tenderness of being with family, close friends or bubbe’s famous chicken soup, but the experience provides a satisfying and emotionally rewarding alternative. Socializing with peers in similar circumstances, create and sustain a network of friends supporting each other and for recreation, often through the center’s long list of activities.
The Lone Soldier Project at the East Valley Jewish Community Center partners with three of these lone soldier centers: Chayal el Chayal. The Michael Levin Memorial Lone Soldier Center (the biggest in Israel with multiple locations) and Osey Chail Association (for Israeli lone soldiers who are no longer welcome in their Haredi family homes). These centers’ mission is to support active-duty lone soldiers and to educate the community about the important role these courageous and dedicated Jewish young adults play in defending the Jewish homeland. Donations to the project pass through to the centers to pay for Shabbat and holiday meals. They also send home-knitted hats for cold-weather assignments. Their annual Hanukkah Greeting Campaign introduces the role of lone soldiers to hundreds of students, at 35 sites throughout the state, who then create Hanukkah greetings and messages for lone soldiers.

TOKYO (AP) — Tropical Depression Talas unleashed fierce rainfall Saturday in parts of Japan, setting off landslides, halting trains and killing a man after he crashed his car into a pond.
Police said the man who drove into a pond in central Japan's Shizuoka prefecture was rushed to a hospital but died.
In another part of Shizuoka, a road collapsed from the heavy rainfall, and rescue efforts were underway, they said. Japanese media reports said one man managed to crawl out of a truck that got stuck but another man was missing.
Separately, three people were injured in a mudslide in Shizuoka, according to a prefectural police spokesperson.
Rivers swelled in Shizuoka's Hamamatsu city, where video shared on social media showed cars wading through watery streets. News footage showed an underground passage for pedestrians at a train station flooded with muddy water. Because trains stopped temporarily, about 1,000 people were stranded at an arena in Shizuoka where a concert was held Friday night.
The storm is the latest to batter Japan after typhoons have caused several deaths and damage in recent weeks.
Talas was headed toward Tokyo and hammering a wide area around the capital with heavy showers. Landslide warnings were issued along the storm’s path.

(JTA) — When I traveled to Poland shortly after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, I met a young mother who, with her baby, fled Kyiv without her husband. More than baby food and a roof over her head, she needed a support system and community to navigate all that would come next. With the outpouring of assistance from individuals and our partner institutions abroad who see it as their duty is to aid our fellow Jews in distress and rebuild Jewish life for coming generations, my organization, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), was there for her.
Seven months later, many people outside of Ukraine think the danger has abated, that a reduction in the pace of those fleeing signals an end to their plight, and that the Ukrainian Jewish community is diminished but stable.
Such misunderstandings downplay the urgency of challenges we have a part in solving. This is especially true given the outsized role that the global Jewish community has played to date in the humanitarian response. With tens of millions of dollars in support from the Claims Conference, Jewish federations across North America, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, foundations, individual philanthropists and many others, we’re invested in this crisis for the long term.
It is important, therefore, to set out three important realities and re-engage the wider Jewish public in our critical work:
The majority of Ukraine’s Jews, and their leaders, remain in their country.
One of them is Svetlana M., the heroic director of the JDC-supported Hesed social service center in Poltava, in central Ukraine. Hesed serves the region’s needy Jews and is a hub for crisis support. Svetlana is in her 40s, a psychologist by training, who turned her volunteerism and passion for the Jewish life into a career aiding the Jewish community. “We refuse to leave our city, and all those people who need us,” she told us. “Think about the elderly people afraid to even step foot outside. They need us, their community, now. We have a rule in our family: in good times and hard times, we should be together.”
It’s true that tens of thousands of Jews, including some leaders, have fled. But the vast majority of the country’s estimated 200,000 Jews, like Svetlana, have remained in the country. Many escaped to Ukrainian cities in safer locations. Others have left, and then returned from abroad. Among the nearly 40,000 poor Jewish elderly and families served by JDC before the conflict, approximately 90% are still there.
Tens of thousands of Jews in country continue to turn to the Jewish community for support during the conflict or volunteer to aid their neighbors. They are buoyed by scores of brave Jewish professionals — social service workers, JCC staff, volunteer coordinators, rabbis, and Jewish educators, and, of course, the staff of JDC — who have been leading emergency work from Kyiv to Dnipro, Odesa to Lviv.
Svetlana and the staff and volunteers at Hesed have endured the stress of constant air raid alerts — more than 500 since Feb. 24 — and the influx of more than 250,0000 internally displaced people to the city. Svetlana has worked around the clock to address those ever-increasing human needs and to ensure the Jewish community becomes a touchpoint for joy during these tough times. Svetlana and her team — including her two sons — have planned numerous Rosh Hashanah holiday activities for seniors, teens, children, and displaced families in the coming weeks. They’ll deliver holiday aid packages and hold online and in-person celebrations with singing and traditions like apples and honey, part of our overall High Holiday efforts around the country.
Need is spiking throughout Ukraine.
Boris R., 70, and his wife, JDC clients before the conflict, had to flee their home in the east with our help, when, as Boris tells it, “our house was ruined by shelling. There’s no apartment, nothing. At such an age, I had to leave my native town.” It was a harrowing journey, especially as Boris’s wife has advancing Alzheimer’s and cannot walk. They emerged from the building’s basement and left with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing, their passports, and their marriage certificate.
After staying in Dnipro for 10 days to recover, Boris and his wife traveled to Lviv, where they have been for the last three months. His son and family are also nearby. Boris has no intention of leaving Ukraine, but is barely able to survive without our help. The cost of his rent, with increasing utility prices, comes to $324. He and his wife’s combined pensions are only $243.
While headlines focus on the south and east of the country, their plight is part of an under-reported, unfolding crisis around the entire country. Decimated infrastructure, severely reduced human services, and limited access to utilities are widespread. The economic situation is dire, with skyrocketing inflation projected to hit 27% and Ukraine’s GDP expected to contract by more than 34% in 2022.
Making matters worse, 3.6 million Ukrainians who remained lost their jobs, resulting in a population of “new poor,” previously middle class folks now facing poverty. Those who were poor before the crisis are in even worse shape. With prices for food and medicine increasing more than 20 percent in the last year, pensioners like Boris living on $3-4 a day have seen scarce resources stretched even further. Add to this the widespread reality of post-traumatic stress brought on by loss in many forms — loved ones, homes and safety.
Our support — including food and medicines and supplemental aid for emergency needs like their rent and utilities — is a lifeline for these Ukrainians. JDC has shipped more than 600 tons of humanitarian aid into Ukraine, and we are directly supporting 35,000-plus clients today, including more than 2,600 new poor and internally displaced Jews. This is in addition to the tens of thousands of others to whom we have provided trauma support, medical care, evacuation, or hotline services to date. But — with no end to the conflict in sight — more needs to be done.
The refugee crisis is not over.
While the mass exodus of refugees has slowed, there are, according to our European Jewish community partners, some 10,000 Jewish refugees in their remit. The actual number is likely higher, as some have not reached out for help. As global inflation worsens and many choose to remain in Europe, we expect more may turn to Jewish communities for support. We need to ensure they are prepared with the ability to extend care to their, and our, extended Jewish family.
In partnership with local Jewish communities, JDC is currently caring for 4,000 refugees in 13 countries. In addition to food, medicine, accommodation, psychosocial support, and connections to local programming, we’re moving from temporary care to long-term support. This includes housing solutions, health care, living stipends and workforce opportunities. And helping Ukrainian Jews to integrate into local Jewish communities is critical.
Rosh Hashanah is approaching, ushering in a time of introspection and new beginnings. During this period, we should proudly take stock of all we have done for Ukraine’s Jews—and concentrate on all we must continue to do in the New Year ahead.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Craig Kimbel is out as closer for the major league-leading Los Angeles Dodgers.
After months of defending him, manager Dave Roberts said Friday that going forward Kimbrel will be used in different innings and different situations over the final two weeks of the regular season. He said no one is replacing Kimbrel in the ninth.
“It might not be traditional, but I’m not too concerned about it,” Roberts said.
He was noncommittal about Kimbrel's situation in the postseason. The Dodgers (104-46) have already clinched the NL West title. They'll open the playoffs at home on Oct. 11.
Kimbrel has struggled in his first season in Los Angeles, where he replaced Kenley Jansen after the veteran closer signed with Atlanta in the offseason. The right-hander has a 6-6 record and a 4.14 ERA. Over 13 seasons with six different teams, Kimbrel has a 2.33 career ERA.
“He was very open to doing whatever is best for the ballclub,” Roberts said. “He more looks at it as a challenge and that’s the way that we would expect."
Kimbrel is 22 for 27 in save chances, but the ninth has become a roller-coaster ride with fans booing at times.
Kimbrel got the victory against Arizona on Thursday despite hitting the leadoff batter, giving up a home run and walking another batter. The Dodgers rallied in the bottom of the ninth to pull out a 3-2 win.
His 394 career saves lead all active pitchers and is seventh all-time.
“I can’t predict the future,” Roberts said. “All I know is that this moment in time he’s ready to embrace whatever role we have for him.”

MIAMI (AP) — Braxton Garrett pitched six effective innings in his first major league start in a month, and the Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 5-2 on Friday night.
Garrett allowed one run — Lane Thomas’ leadoff homer in the first — and five hits. The left-hander struck out six and walked none.
Garrett (3-6) was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville earlier in the day. It was his first appearance with Miami since he threw six scoreless innings against Atlanta on Aug. 14.
Garrett Cooper and Jon Berti each doubled and singled for the Marlins. Berti also stole his NL-leading 37th base.
Nationals starter Josiah Gray plunked Bryan De La Cruz with the bases loaded, snapping a 1-1 tie in the sixth. Charles Leblanc followed with an RBI single, and Miguel Rojas grounded into a double play that scored JJ Bleday from third.
Bleday’s sacrifice fly in the seventh padded Miami's lead, but Washington got one back on Joey Meneses’ run-scoring double in the eighth.
Dylan Floro handled the ninth for his sixth save.
Gray (7-10) gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings. He remains winless since July 6.
Thomas drove Garrett's second pitch over the wall in left for his 17th homer.
Miami answered in the bottom half on Cooper’s RBI double. Gray avoided additional trouble by striking out Nick Fortes and Bleday and retiring De La Cruz on a groundout.
PROSPECTS RECOGNIZED
The Marlins honored infielder Yiddi Cappe and right-hander Eury Pérez with their minor league player and pitcher of the year awards. The 20-year-old Cappe hit .290 with nine homers and 40 RBIs at Single-A Jupiter. The 19-year-old Pérez struck out 110 in 77 innings at Double-A Pensacola.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Nationals: LHP Patrick Corbin (back spasms) threw from 90 feet. Corbin exited after 12 pitches and didn’t complete the first inning in his last start at Atlanta on Tuesday. ... LHP MacKenzie Gore (left elbow inflammation) will have his second rehab start with Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
Marlins: Placed INF Joey Wendle (left hamstring tendinitis) on the 10-day injured list. ... LHP Trevor Rogers (left lat strain) was placed on the 15-day IL.
UP NEXT
Erik Fedde (6-10, 5.29 ERA) will start the second game of the series for the Nationals on Saturday. The Marlins will go with Sandy Alcantara (13-8, 2.37 ERA), one of the leading contenders for the NL Cy Young Award. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/sports/article/Garrett-throws-6-strong-innings-Marlins-beat-17463434.php | 2022-09-24T02:11:24 | en | 0.940027 |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez, a leading candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year award, was put on the 10-day injured list Friday because of a lower back strain.
The move came with Seattle holding the third and final wild-card spot, a half-game behind Tampa Bay and four games ahead of Baltimore. Outfielder Taylor Trammell was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.
Rodriguez left Thursday’s win at Oakland in the first inning after experiencing back tightness. The 21-year-old leads rookies in home runs (27), runs scored (81), and total bases (251), and is second in RBIs (73) and stolen bases (25). He was the only rookie to be chosen an All-Star this season.
Rodriguez was replaced in center field by Jarred Kelenic for Seattle's game at Kansas City. Third baseman J.P. Crawford took Rodriguez’s accustomed leadoff spot in the batting order.
“I was anticipating more of (Kelenic’s) reps would come on the corners, but with Julio out now, he’ll be playing in center field,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “We’re going to let him run with it.”
Trammell has played 41 games for Seattle this year, batting .208 with four home runs and 10 RBIs. He was hitting .333 with five homers and 12 RBIs in 22 games for Tacoma.

WYNNEWOOD, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- With the temperatures dropping, health officials are warning of a potentially more severe flu season compared to past years.
"Each year, scientists look at the circulating strains in the Southern Hemisphere and try to predict what strains are going to be in the Northern Hemisphere," said Dr. Lawrence Livornese, Chairman of Medicine at Main Line Health. "Sometimes they get it right, other times not so much."
In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia is experiencing its worst flu season in at least five years, a possible foreshadowing of what's to come in the US. The flu season virtually disappeared in the last two years due to COVID shutdowns, masking and social distancing. But now, things are back to normal.
"I haven't had a flu vaccine in I don't know how long, so I'm going to say no, but say like, if cases do start rising, I might," said Monet Gregory of North Philadelphia.
Doctors are encouraging the flu shot to decrease your chances of severe disease and urging everyone to get the COVID-19 booster shot, which targets the omicron variant.
"We may see a milder COVID season this year than compared to last year but it's very possible a new mutation may appear and things may change in ways that we don't really expect right now," said Livornese.
At this time, about 68 million Americans remain completely unvaccinated for the coronavirus. Across the country, 30,000 patients are hospitalized due to COVID, with 3,200 people in the ICU. Health officials warn of a possible spike in cases as winter approaches and we move inside.
"I'm going to try to keep as much distance between me and strangers as possible," said Tay Nesmith of West Philadelphia. "I'm going to try to keep my mask on and an extra one in my bag."
Doctors highly recommend getting the flu shot between now and the end of October to be most protected. They say you can get both the flu shot and the COVID booster at the same time. | https://6abc.com/flu-shot-covid-19-booster-season-get-vaccinated/12257501/ | 2022-09-24T02:11:38 | en | 0.971624 |

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Puerto Rican flag was raised outside Philadelphia City Hall on Friday.
The event included live music, dance and acknowledgment of community members who have done special work for Puerto Rican community.
This flag-raising event is held every year, but this time, hearts are heavy as the U.S. territory is deals with the devastating effects of Hurricane Fiona.
"As we are reflecting and highlighting the cultural activities of being Latina and being Puerto Rican, we also have to remember what's happening in Puerto Rico, said Adonis Banegas.
The flag is a symbol of pride and cultural preservation for many, this year it also represents the kick-off for big Puerto Rican Day parade this Sunday on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
"Our last parade was in 2019, COVID-19 definitely took a hit on everything we've done. We are excited and proud to be back," said Banegas.
But besides the festivities and excitement, Hurricane Fiona relief is top of mind for many who are using the platform and stage to not only raise awareness but raise funds for people in Puerto Rico.
"Everyone has to do their own small efforts. Combine them so impact is felt. It's the only way we will be able to provide support they need," said Quetcy Lozada. "I have a nice size amount of family over there. Many of them experience the same condition as others on the island. There is no water, there is no electricity."
This comes days after more than 40 nonprofits announce they will work together to collect donations under the umbrella Unidos PA Puerto Rico.
It's a similar to the response after Hurricane Maria which made landfall almost five years to the date.
"One thing that we saw five years ago that we are seeing now that the community on the island comes together, really supportive of each other. Sharing what they have in order to get to the next day," said Lozada.
Unidos Pa Puerto Rico is collecting donations via text. You can text PRFIONA2022 to 44321 to donate. | https://6abc.com/puerto-rico-flag-raised-hurricane-fiona-help-victims/12256854/ | 2022-09-24T02:11:44 | en | 0.970283 |

(Motor Authority) — Ford has submitted a patent application for power outlets integrated into vehicle roof rails, which the automaker believes could come in handy while tailgating or camping.
Filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on January 12, 2021, and published on July 14, 2022, the application describes a pretty straightforward setup. Power outlets are added to roof rails, protected by removable covers, and connected to a power source in the vehicle.

Ford seems to view this as a good feature for tailgating or camping, as both are mentioned multiple times throughout the application. The automaker suggests everything from smartphones and laptops to portable heaters and lights could be plugged into roof rails to make outdoor gatherings more hospitable.
Use of vehicles to power electronic devices will likely increase with the continued rise of hybrids and EVs. Ford already offers built-in outlets for the beds of the PowerBoost hybrid and all-electric Lightning versions of the F-150 pickup truck, with the Lightning even able to charge other EVs or provide emergency backup power for homes, the automaker claims.

Other automakers also offer ways to power your devices. Mitsubishi has offered this capability on the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid for some time, and Hyundai included it as part of its E-GMP dedicated EV platform. But no automaker has put outlets in the roof rails of a production vehicle so far.
It’s worth emphasizing a patent application does not constitute firm plans for production; automakers often file applications to protect intellectual property before any production plans are fleshed out. But one recent Ford patent application—for remote engine revving—did translate into a product feature on the 2024 Mustang. | https://fox4kc.com/automotive/ford-patents-power-outlets-in-roof-rails/ | 2022-09-24T02:11:58 | en | 0.943212 |
HONOLULU (KHON) — A seafloor ridge located in the southwest Pacific Ocean that stretches from New Zealand to Tonga has the highest density of underwater volcanoes in the world, according to NASA Earth Observatory, and on Sept. 10, one of them awoke.
The Home Reef seamount in the Central Tonga Islands has been oozing lava since then. Eleven hours after the eruption began, a new island surfaced.
The Tonga Geological Services reported that the new island continued to grow through Sept. 20, covering approximately 24,000 square meters (6 acres).
“The volcano activity poses low risks to the Aviation Community and the residents of Vava‘u and Ha‘apai,” Tonga Geological Services said in a statement issued on Sept. 22. “No visible ash in the past 24 hours was reported. All Mariners are advised to sail beyond 4km away from Home Reef until further notice.”
According to NASA, islands created by submarine volcanoes are often short-lived, though they occasionally persist for years. For example, an island created by a 12-day eruption from nearby Late‘iki Volcano in 2020 washed away after two months, while an island created in 1995 by the same volcano remained for over two decades.
There have been four recorded periods of eruptions at Home Reef, with small islands forming. Click here to follow updates on the new island. | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/a-new-island-is-born-in-the-pacific-ocean/ | 2022-09-24T02:12:04 | en | 0.96273 |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Radcliff woman was arrested Thursday evening after police say she severely beat a child.
According to court documents, 23-year-old Ashley Luce was taken into custody by officers with the Radcliff Police Department.
Police say on Saturday, Sept. 17, the girl's mother called police and said she found bruising and scratches on her daughter's face and head. When she examine the girl closer, she allegedly found more injuries -- including injuries to her thighs, buttocks and torso.
She said she discovered the injuries after picking the girl up at her father's house.
After calling the police, she drove her child to Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville. Police say the hospital photographed a number of "substantial physical injuries," including "extreme, dark bruising to multiple areas of the face, head, buttocks, inner thigh and torso."
When asked about the injuries, the child allegedly told investigators that her father's girlfriend, Luce, beat her. She said she stayed with Luce while her father was at work and Luce "is mean to her."
Luce is charged with first-degree Criminal Abuse of a Child. She is currently being held in the Hardin County Detention Center.

SAN FRANCISCO (KXAN) — Actor Matthew McConaughey is again hinting at a future political career. The Oscar-winner talked about his presidential aspirations at a conference in San Francisco earlier this week, SFGATE reported.
McConaughey was a featured speaker at Dreamforce, an annual tech conference by Salesforce. SFGATE wrote that the actor spoke to Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff while there, and though McConaughey didn’t make any specifications on the possibility of running for president, he did say he’d consider it in the future and he’d “be arrogant not to.”
This isn’t the first time he’s teased at a political career. Previously, however, it’s been on a smaller scale. McConaughey considered running for governor of Texas, but ultimately announced in November 2021 that he wouldn’t take the path of politics “at the moment.”
He hasn’t been shy to make political commentary either.
Over the summer, he visited Washington, D.C. to talk with lawmakers about gun legislation following the Robb Elementary School shooting that killed 19 children in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas.
He also spoke with Kara Swisher in a 40-minute-long interview on “Sway”, a New York Times Opinion podcast, about Texas’ political landscape and his thoughts on pursuing a career in politics.
McConaughey said at Dreamscape that if presidential candidacy is in his future, it would be because “it chose him,” according to SFGATE.
“If that happened to me I would be pulled into it. If I’m living right, which I’m trying to, we get pulled into things… it’s inevitable. I didn’t choose it, it chose me,” McConaughey said according to SFGATE. | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/matthew-mcconaughey-teases-future-presidential-run/ | 2022-09-24T02:12:10 | en | 0.969081 |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Sellersburg Police Department officially has a new home.
The department moved to a new building off State Road 60 and celebrated the new facility this week.
The new location provides more office space, a meeting room, larger questioning rooms and an evidence locker system.
The building will help the department meet its needs as it continues to grow over the years.
The former police building on New Albany Street was falling apart with water stains on the ceilings, walls and floors and mold issues.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – In just a few weeks, the Biden administration says borrowers will be able to apply for student loan forgiveness. With the cost of college still high, many lawmakers and advocates say there’s more to do on this issue.
Millions of people will soon see a drop in their student debt balance after President Joe Biden announced a plan to forgive up to $20,000 dollars for borrowers. It also caps regular loan payments at 5% of someone’s income and wipes out loans for some after 10 years of repayment.
Carmel Martin with the White House Domestic Policy Council says the application for forgiveness should be available sometime in October.
“The Department of Education is working around the clock to stand up the program,” Martin said.
Even with these steps, advocates are looking ahead. Melissa Byrne, with the group “We the 45M,” hopes this is just the beginning.
“Renew the fight for free college, renew the fight to get more debt canceled,” Byrne said.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says he recognizes loan forgiveness alone isn’t enough.
“Everybody has some work to do to make sure that college is more affordable, including our colleagues in higher education,” Cardona said.
Many lawmakers agree that there’s more to do on this issue, and they have some ideas.
Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., introduced a bill that would double the size of Pell grants and lower interest rates for loans.
“The student loan crisis isn’t the fault of the students,” Scott said.
He believes his LOAN Act can build on the President’s actions.
“We should be making college accessible to everyone,” Scott said. “Everyone should have the opportunity to move up in society and a college education is the quickest route to do that.”
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., also has a pitch on college affordability. He introduced legislation that would make colleges pay half the balance of any student loan that’s fallen into default.
“The colleges ought to be the ones who are on the hook for the loans. That’s, I think, the way to really get at the issue here, which is that these colleges are getting rich by taking the money from students and giving them worthless degrees,” Hawley said.
Neither plan will move forward unless Democrats and Republicans find some common ground. | https://fox4kc.com/politics/washington-dc-bureau/lawmakers-and-advocates-look-for-next-steps-on-student-debt-problem/ | 2022-09-24T02:12:16 | en | 0.972138 |
After being struck by fierce winds, torrential rainfall, and widespread flooding from Hurricane Fiona, citizens of Puerto Rico were enduring significant power outages in mid-September 2022. Extreme heat and troubles with water supplies added to the miseries for the people, while federal and local agencies worked to bring relief.
The blackouts came almost exactly five years after Hurricane Maria decimated the island, and six years after a power plant fire took down much of the grid.
The images below were acquired in the early morning hours of September 22 and June 29, 2022—nights with few clouds and similar Moon phases. The observations were made by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NOAA–NASA Suomi NPP satellite. VIIRS has a low-light sensor—the day/night band—that measures light emissions and reflections.

According to unofficial estimates, roughly 950,000 of Puerto Rico’s 1.5 million business and residential customers were without power on the afternoon of September 22. While outages were spread across the island, Ponce, Arecibo, Caguas, and Mayagüez counties (in the south, central, and western regions) had the highest percentages of power losses.
These images focusing on the city of Ponce were created by scientists from the Black Marble Project at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Science Systems and Applications, Inc., the University of Maryland College Park, and the Leidos Civil Group. The images show nighttime light emissions before and after Fiona passed through the city. The team processed and analyzed VIIRS data, comparing a pre-storm composite (August) to conditions after the hurricane. These data were then overlaid on a base map of landcover data collected by Landsat 9.
VIIRS day/night band makes it possible to distinguish the intensity of lights and to observe how they change. (Sometimes they also can decipher sources and types of light.) Nighttime imagery can be used by relief agencies to identify areas that are most in need of aid and support.
Precision is critical for studies with night lights. Raw, unprocessed images can be misleading because moonlight, clouds, pollution, seasonal vegetation—even the position of the satellite—can change how light is reflected and can distort observations. The processing by the Black Marble team accounts for such changes and filters out stray light from sources that are not electric lights.
