Alabama reclaimed No. 1 from Georgia in The Associated Press college football poll in one of the closest votes in the recent years, and six teams — including Kansas — made their season debut on Sunday.
The Crimson Tide received 25 first-place votes and 1,523 points in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank, two points more than the Bulldogs. Georgia received 28 first-place votes to become the first team since Alabama in November 2019 to have the most first-place votes but not be No. 1.
The Tide was No. 2 behind LSU that year, with 21 first-place votes to the Tigers' 17.
The last time there was a two-point margin between Nos. 1 and 2 was Nov. 1, 2020, when Clemson was ahead of Alabama. There have been three other polls with a two-point margin at the top since 2007.
Ohio State remained third, but the Buckeyes also gained some ground on the top two, getting 10 first-place votes.
The Crimson Tide started the season at No. 1, but the defending national champion Bulldogs took the top spot away from their Southeastern Conference rivals after Week 2 when Alabama needed a late field goal to beat Texas.
The Bulldogs remain unbeaten but needed a fourth-quarter rally to beat four-touchdown underdog Missouri on Saturday night. Earlier in the day, the Tide managed to pull away from Arkansas in the second half without Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young.
Young sprained his throwing shoulder in the first half and missed most of the game in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
No. 4 Michigan, No. 5 Clemson and No. 6 Southern California all won and held their places this week, though the Wolverines and Tigers are now separated by just three points.
No. 7 Oklahoma State, followed by Tennessee, Mississippi and Penn State, round out the top 10.
The rest of the AP Top 25 got a major overhaul after 10 ranked teams lost, five to unranked opponents. That cleared the way for seven teams to move into the rankings this week, most notably No. 19 Kansas.
The Jayhawks are ranked for the first time since Oct. 18, 2009, which was the longest drought for a team currently in a Power Five conference.
POLL POINTS
The closest margin between Nos. 1 and 2 in AP poll history is zero. Oklahoma and Miami tied for No. 1 in the 2002 preseason poll, and Miami and Washington shared the top spot in mid-October 1992.
The last time there was a one-point margin between the top two teams was 1992, when the Hurricanes and Huskies were separated by a point in the weeks before and after they were tied.
With Kansas back in the rankings, the longest poll appearance drought belongs to Illinois, which was last ranked in 2011. And the Illini have positioned themselves to make the leap with a 4-1 start heading into their home game against Iowa next week.
Next up on the list is Rutgers (2012), Oregon State (preseason 2013) and Vanderbilt (final 2013).
IN
The voters generally decided to start from scratch at the back half of the rankings, flipping seven teams.
— No. 17 TCU is in the rankings for the first time since a brief stay in 2019 at 25th.
— No. 18 UCLA is off to its first 5-0 start since 2013.
— No. 19 Kansas stayed unbeaten by knocking off Iowa State. The Jayhawks last started 5-0 in that 2009 season, then proceeded to drop their next six games and fall to the bottom of major college football for more than a decade.
Both Kansas schools are ranked for the first time since Oct. 14, 2007.
— No. 22 Syracuse improved to 5-0 with an easy victory against Wagner and finally cracked the rankings. The Orange are ranked for the first time since early in the 2019 season.
— No. 23 Mississippi State has been ranked for only one week (after the first regular-season game of 2020) since the end of 2018 season.
Both Mississippi SEC schools are ranked for the first time since Nov. 11, 2015.
— No. 24 Cincinnati. The Bearcats are the one team to enter the rankings this week that already had been in this season. Cincinnati fell out after a Week 1 loss at Arkansas and has won four straight since.
— No. 25 LSU has its first ranking under coach Brian Kelly. The Tigers have won four straight, including two SEC games, since losing a heartbreaker to Florida State on Labor Day weekend.
OUT
Among the seven teams to drop out of the AP Top 25, five of them will be unranked for the first time this season: Oklahoma, Baylor, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Pittsburgh.
Florida State and Minnesota had brief stays in the AP Top 25. The Seminoles and Gophers were teams on the rise for a week and then both lost at home.
CONFERENCE CALL
SEC — 7 (Nos. 1, 2, 8, 9, 13, 23, 25).
Pac-12 — 5 (Nos. 6, 11, 12, 18, 21).
ACC — 4 (Nos. 5, 15, 16, 22).
Big 12 — 4 (Nos. 7, 17, 19, 20).
Big Ten — 3 (Nos. 3, 4, 10).
American — 1 (No. 24).
Independent — 1 (No. 16).
RANKED vs. RANKED
No 25 LSU at No. 8 Tennessee.
No. 17 TCU at No. 19 Kansas.
No. 11 Utah at No. 18 UCLA.

HOOPERSVILLE, Md. (AP) — The federal government has sold off a rather inhospitable lighthouse in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay for a six-figure sum after a bidding war at auction.
The Hooper Island Lighthouse, located west of Middle Hooper Island in Maryland's Dorchester County, at first drew little interest, The Washington Post reported. But then five potential buyers drove up the price from a starting bid of $15,000 to the winning bid of $192,000.
Will Powell, a spokesman for the U.S. General Services Administration, told the newspaper the lighthouse comes with strings attached. The new owners must maintain it as a Coast Guard navigational aid, observe historic preservation standards and sign a memorandum of agreement with the Navy about when it can be accessed.
The rusting lighthouse known locally as the “sparkplug” has an outer ladder but no nearby dock for a boat to moor. A 2019 inspection also found lead-based paint, asbestos, benzene and other dangerous substances inside, where there is no water, electricity or other utilities.
“It is a unique opportunity,” Powell told the Post. “And there are people out there that love lighthouses.”
U.S. Lighthouse Society previously owned the structure, and the government auctioned it on the organization's behalf, according to The Post. The new owner's identity won't be known until final documentation is signed.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — An exit poll in Bulgaria suggested Sunday that the center-right GERB party of ex-premier Boyko Borissov, a party blamed for presiding over years of corruption, will be the likely winner of Bulgaria’s parliamentary election.
The poll conducted by Gallup International showed the GERB party earning 24.6% support, apparently edging out the reformist We Continue the Change pro-Western party of former Prime Minister Kiril Petkov, which is expected to capture 18.9%.
It could take days before the final official results are announced. If they confirm the exit poll, Borisov will be handed a mandate to form his fourth cabinet. It will be an uphill task for him to produce a stable governing coalition, however, since most political groups have in advance rejected any cooperation with his GERB party, which presided over years of corruption that hampered development.
The early election on Sunday came after a fragile coalition led by Petkov lost a no-confidence vote in June. He claimed afterward that Moscow had used “hybrid war” tactics to bring his government down after it refused to pay gas bills in rubles and ordered an expulsion of Russian diplomats from Bulgaria.
The European Union nation’s fourth election in 18 months was marked by a raging war nearby, political instability and economic hardships in the bloc’s poorest member. A low turnout — was nearly 30% by 5 p.m., less than in previous elections — reflected voter apathy.
The exit poll suggested that eight parties could muster the 4% threshold to enter a fragmented parliament with populist and pro-Russia groups showing an increased representation.
After casting his vote Sunday, Borissov told reporters that Bulgaria needs to clearly position itself on Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.
“With this aggression, with this war with a clear aggressor in the face of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin – (I have) nothing against the Russian people — with this farce with the referendums, Bulgaria must be very clear, categorical, and precise about its place in the European Union and NATO,” he said.
He said getting Bulgaria into Europe’s 19-nation shared currency eurozone should be the next government's most important task.
Still, the predicted percentage won’t be enough for Borissov’s party to form a one-party government, and the chances for a GERB-led coalition are slim.
Petkov ran on promises to cobble together a coalition and continue his efforts to eradicate corruption, but a European energy crisis sparked by Russia’s war on Ukraine was the dominant economic theme concerning voters.
Many Bulgarians share pro-Russia sentiments, which provides fertile soil for aggressive Kremlin propaganda in the Balkan country.
The pro-Russia party Vazrazhdane, riding on those feelings, captured 10.2% of the vote, up from 4.9% in the previous election, the election poll predicted.
Unlike the stance taken by the EU, which has fully condemned Russia's war in Ukraine and slapped sanctions on Russia for it, Vazrazhdane leader Kostadin Kostadinov has urged “full neutrality” for Bulgaria in the war.

GENEVA, Fla. (AP) — Residents in central Florida donned fishing waders, boots and bug spray and canoed or kayaked to their homes on streets where floodwaters continued rising Sunday despite it being four days since Hurricane Ian tore through the state.
The waters flooded homes and streets that had been passable just a day or two earlier.
Ben Bertat found 4 inches (10 centimeters) of water in his house by Lake Harney off North Jungle Street in a rural part of Seminole County, north of Orlando, after kayaking to it Sunday morning. Only a day earlier, there had been no water.
“I think it’s going to get worse because all of this water has to get to the lake” said Bertat, pointing to the water flooding the road. “With ground saturation, all this swamp is full and it just can’t take any more water. It doesn’t look like it’s getting any lower.”
Gabriel Madling kayaked through 3 feet (1 meter) of water on his street, delivering sandbags to stave off water that was 2 inches (5 centimeters) from entering his home.
“My home is close to underwater,” Madling said Sunday morning before paddling to his house. “Right now, I’m just going to sandbag as much as I can and hope and pray.”
Two hours later, his house still was not flooded, and he was retrieving more sandbags to cover the back side of the house.
"We will see what happens," he said.
Madling's street was in a flood zone and most of the residents with mortgages on the street of about 30 houses had flood insurance, but several of the residents who had lived there for decades didn't, Madling said.
Seminole County officials warned residents this weekend that flooding could continue for several days, particularly in areas near the St. Johns River and its tributaries, and said 1,200 residents have been affected by the flooding or other damage from Ian.
“Even as the rain has stopped, we still have the opportunity for more flooding," Alan Harris, director of Seminole’s office for emergency management, said at a news briefing.
Tara Casel has never seen flooding on her street near Lake Harney like she did Sunday morning, despite living through multiple hurricanes. She and her husband used a canoe to get to their house and feared it would have water.
“We were here last night and it was pretty bad,” she said. “But this morning looks worse.”

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — Rewards totaling $85,000 have been offered for information leading to an arrest in five fatal shootings since July in Stockton, California, that investigators believe are related, police said.
After reviewing surveillance footage, detectives have located an unidentified "person of interest" in the killings, Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden wrote on the department's Facebook page Saturday. Police released a grainy still image of a person filmed from behind, dressed all in black and wearing a black cap.
The latest killing occurred shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday, when a 54-year-old man was shot in a residential area just north of downtown, McFadden said.
Police said he was the fifth man fatally shot since July 8 within a radius of a few square miles. Detectives believe all five homicides are related “based on our investigation and the reports we are receiving," McFadden said.
Police said the victims were each walking alone when they were killed in the evening or early morning in the city of 320,000 residents about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of the state capital, Sacramento.
The ages of the victims range from 21 to 54; four of the men were Hispanic and one was white, McFadden said.
“We are committed to protecting our community and solving these cases utilizing all the resources at our disposal including YOU. We need YOUR help!!!! If anyone, has information regarding these investigations, call us immediately. Please remember our victims have grieving family members who need resolution. If you know something, say something,” the chief wrote on Facebook.
The city of Stockton put up a $75,000 reward, and Stockton Crime Stoppers offered an additional $10,000.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — Burkina Faso's ousted coup leader has offered his resignation as long as his security and other conditions were met, and the new junta leader who overthrew him has accepted the deal, religious leaders mediating the West African nation's latest political crisis said Sunday.
A junta spokesman later announced on state television that their leader, Capt. Ibrahim Traore, officially has been named head of state following the Friday coup that ousted Lt. Col. Paul Henri Sandaogo Damiba.
Their power grab marked Burkina Faso's second military coup this year, deepening fears that the political chaos could divert attention from an Islamic insurgency whose violence has killed thousands and forced 2 million to flee their homes. It followed unrest in Ouagadougou, the capital, in which mobs on Saturday attacked the French embassy and other French-related sites, wrongly believing that they were sheltering Damiba.
Along with agreeing not to harm or prosecute him, Damiba also asked Traore and the new junta leadership to respect the commitments already made to the West African regional bloc ECOWAS. Damiba, who came to power in a coup last January, had recently reached an agreement to hold an election by 2024.
“President Paul Henri Sandaogo Damiba proposed his own resignation in order to avoid clashes,” said Hamidou Yameogo, a spokesman for the mediation efforts.
Traore accepted the conditions, religious leaders said, but there was no immediate confirmation by Damiba himself of an official resignation. His whereabouts have remained unknown since the Friday night coup.
Amid the mediation, the new junta leadership also called for an end to the unrest.
In a statement broadcast on state television, junta spokesman Capt. Kiswendsida Farouk Azaria Sorgho called on people to “desist from any act of violence and vandalism" especially those against the French Embassy or the French military base.
Anti-French sentiment rose sharply after the new junta alleged that interim president Damiba was sheltering at a French military base following his ouster. France vehemently denied the allegation, but soon protesters with torches thronged the perimeter of the French Embassy in Ouagadougou.
Saturday’s violence was condemned by the French Foreign Ministry, which denied any involvement in the rapidly developing events. French Institutes in Ouagadougou and the country’s second-largest city, Bobo-Dioulasso, had also been targeted and French citizens were urged to be very cautious.
“The situation is very volatile in Burkina Faso,” a French spokeswoman told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Damiba came to power in January promising to secure the country from jihadi violence. However, the situation only deteriorated as jihadis imposed blockades on towns and have intensified attacks. Last week, at least 11 soldiers were killed and 50 civilians went missing after a supply convoy was attacked by gunmen in Gaskinde commune in the Sahel. The group of officers led by Traore said Friday that Damiba had failed and was being removed.
To some in Burkina Faso’s military, Damiba also was seen as too cozy with former colonizer France, which maintains a military presence in Africa’s Sahel region to help countries fight Islamic extremists.
Some who support the new coup leader, Traore, have called on Burkina Faso’s government to seek Russian support instead. Outside the state broadcaster on Sunday, supporters of Traore were seen cheering and waving Russian flags.
In neighboring Mali, the coup leader has invited Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group to help with security, a move than has drawn global condemnation and accusations of human rights abuses.
Conflict analysts say Damiba was probably too optimistic about what he could achieve in the short term but that a change at the top didn’t mean that the country's security situation would improve.
“The problems are too profound and the crisis is deeply rooted,” said Heni Nsaibia, a senior researcher at the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, adding that "militant groups will most likely continue to exploit" the country's political disarray.
The international community widely condemned the ouster of Damiba, who himself overthrew the country’s democratically elected president in January.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said the United States “is deeply concerned by events in Burkina Faso.”
“We call on those responsible to de-escalate the situation, prevent harm to citizens and soldiers, and return to a constitutional order,” he said.
The African Union and the West African region bloc known as ECOWAS also sharply criticized the developments, urging the military to “avoid escalation and in all circumstances to protect civilians.”

HARLEM HEIGHTS, Fla. (AP) — The Gladiolus Food Pantry usually hands out supplies on Wednesdays to about 240 families, so when Hurricane Ian swept through that day and canceled their distribution, it was left full of flats of canned black beans, bags of rice, meats, bread and produce — food that helps families struggling with rising rents and inflation make ends meet.
By the weekend, much of that food was in the garbage, the floors were still wet and muddy from the floodwaters that had filled the room, and the pantry's founder and director, Miriam Ortiz, was worried about what would become of her neighborhood as she worked to get the pantry she started nine years ago up and running again.
“Right now I don’t know what we’re going to do because we’re going to need food, we’re going to need water, we're going to need everything," she said. “We got flooded and the water came through all the building.”
Ortiz said the food pantry's green building is the heart of the Harlem Heights neighborhood, a small, mostly Hispanic community of nearly 2,000 people near Fort Myers that was hammered by the Category 4 hurricane. A sign scrawled on a piece of roofing that had torn loose advertised free food, diapers, wipes, body wash and toothpaste.
The wind, rain and storm surge that accompany hurricanes affect everyone in their path. But those combined effects are often more of a disaster for poor people living day to day, like many in Harlem Heights, where the median income is a little under $26,000, according to U.S. Census data.
Many are hourly workers with little savings for things such as evacuation hotel stays or money to tide them over until their places of employment reopen. In a tourism heavy economy like South Florida's, the wait for hotels to reopen and visitors — along with the jobs they bring — to return can be long and agonizing.
Ortiz said many of the clients she was seeing every week before the hurricane were already hurting from the skyrocketing cost of food and housing. Rising rents had forced many young adults that had been living on their own to move back in with parents and grandparents, she said.
Over the weekend, cars and trucks whizzed down the neighborhood's main road, which was dry and had been swept free of tree limbs and palm fronds. That wasn't the case on many side streets, many of which were still submerged in water as residents hauled waterlogged furniture to the curb.
At Maria Galindo's apartment, the water had risen to about hip height and the wind had ripped off part of her roof while she and her 9-year-old daughter, Gloria, were terrified inside. Her daughter said that during the storm, she kept thinking she wanted to return to her native Guatemala.
“We did not know where to go, where to grab onto, whether here or there because of the rain, the wind, the water. ... It was very difficult," said Maria Galindo, speaking in Spanish.
They and their neighbors were trying to salvage what they could and to push the water from their waterlogged apartments. Wet clothes hung from a clothes line outside, while inside a thin seam of light coming between the wall and ceiling showed where the roof had been lifted.
Galindo works as a housekeeper at a local hotel, but it's closed until further notice. She's worried for her family and her daughter and wondering how she'll make ends meet.
“We are without a roof overhead. We need food. We need money to buy things," she said. "We need help.”
Back at the food pantry, people had been delivering donations of food, cleaning supplies and clothing throughout the day Saturday, and a volunteer had set up a tent and was cooking food for people.
One of those who dropped by to deliver supplies was a frustrated Lisa Bertaux, who came with her friend. She ticked off the items that people needed: toothbrushes, deodorant, cleaning supplies, paper towels, children's clothes and wipes. And the list went on.
“There is so much need here. ... There’s very little food coming in so far. There’s a great need," she said. “It’s time for us to rebuild our community.”
One of those coming by to pick up supplies was Keyondra Smith, who lives down the street in an apartment complex with her three kids. She had parked her car in a different area so that when the floodwaters came sweeping through, she didn't lose it. Her neighbors weren't so lucky, as cars floated through the parking lot during the worst of the flooding and the people who lived on the first floor — she's on the second — were completely flooded out.
Smith had been driving by the food pantry when she noticed it had supplies so she stopped to pick up some toilet paper, water and hot plates of food. Before that, her family had been eating raviolis out of a can, Vienna sausages and snacks from a local convenience store.
“We don’t have any water. My food is spoiling in the refrigerator," she said. Though she can drive to the few stores that are open, she said they are only taking cash and many of the ATMs aren't working. “I have three kids so I have to get some supplies to feed them.”

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — So complete was the humiliation of Erik ten Hag’s first Manchester derby that he chose to protect Cristiano Ronaldo from enduring the shame of being associated with such a performance.
A 6-3 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday flattered United, with substitute Anthony Martial firing twice late on to add a modicum of respectability to the score.
But it could not disguise the total dominance of Pep Guardiola’s Premier League champions, or Erling Haaland’s status as arguably the most fearsome forward in world football.
What a contrast between the Norwegian — who scored his third hat trick of the season — and Ronaldo, who watched on from the sidelines.
Ten Hag was scathing in his criticism of his team and revealed he opted against bringing on his 37-year-old striker in order to protect the player’s reputation.
“I wouldn’t bring him in because we are 4-1 down,” said the United manager. “Out of respect for Cristiano, for his big career.”
Ten Hag made no attempt to protect his other players, who were 4-0 down at halftime and trailing 6-1 before Martial’s late double, with Phil Foden also hitting a hat trick.
“The plan was to show bravery and confidence, but we didn’t from the first minute,” Ten Hag said. “We left Haaland and we were not tight.
“For the first goal we won the ball and could have created a great chance, but instead we gave it easily away and then it was like a pack of cards.
“I criticized them, I told them. Me as well, because I didn’t get the message through. With this lack of confidence we cannot win games. I don’t think this attitude is Manchester United, we can act much more brave.
“We are in the process and I knew before that big teams like City, when you are not good you get hammered and we were not good. We didn’t follow the rules and principles of the way we play and you get hammered."
United fans began to leave at halftime to avoid witnessing further indignities after a traumatic first 45 minutes.
Foden struck after just eight minutes and then again on the stroke of the interval, with Haaland scoring twice inbetween.
Antony scored a wonderful goal from distance after 56 minutes but City was soon back on top, with Haaland completing his treble and then setting up Foden to do likewise.
Martial’s goals — the second coming from the penalty spot — made it the highest-ever scoring game between the rivals.
Guardiola, meanwhile, is running out of words to praise his unstoppable center forward, who now has 17 goals in 11 games for City – and scored his third hat trick in successive home league games.
“Of course, the quality we have alongside him helps him to score goals,” Guardiola said. “But what he has done, I didn’t teach him once.
“When the ball is right, and he attacks the box, how he moves behind the central defender away from the action, he has incredible instincts that the ball will arrive there and it comes from his mum and dad. He was born with that."
But Guardiola warned the Norway international that there is still improvements to be made to his game.
“He said, ‘I prefer to touch the ball five times and score five goals.’ I don’t like that,” said the City manager. “I want him to touch the ball more and more.
“So he became a football player to score goals. I like that he’s more part of the situations, but don’t forget his biggest talent is to put the ball in the net.”
DRAW FOR 10-MAN LEEDS
Luis Sinisterra was sent off as 10-man Leeds held out for a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.
The Colombian was shown a red card by referee Stuart Attwell for a second bookable offence when failing to retreat 10 yards for a free kick just after halftime.
Sinisterra had already been show a yellow card for a foul on John McGinn in the first half at Elland Road.
But Leeds, which had manager Jesse Marsch watching from the stands as he observed a touchline ban for his own red card against Brentford last month, was able to secure a point against the visitors.
Illan Meslier was twice called into action in the first half to deny Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey.
After Sinisterra’s red card, Philippe Coutinho hit the post with an acrobatic attempt.
Leeds is in 12th place in the Premier League and Villa a point behind in 14th.

MADRID (AP) — A minute of silence was observed before soccer matches around the world on Sunday in honor of victims of the disaster at a stadium in Indonesia that claimed at least 125 lives, and top players, coaches and leagues sent condolences and messages of support.
Most of the victims were trampled upon or suffocated as chaos erupted following a game between host Arema FC of East Java’s Malang city and Persebaya Surabaya on Saturday night. Witnesses described police officers beating fans with sticks and shields before shooting tear gas canisters directly into the crowds to stop violence but instead triggering a deadly crush.
Indonesia’s soccer association suspended the top-tier Liga 1 indefinitely and banned Arema from hosting soccer matches for the remainder of the season, after one of the biggest tragedies globally at a sporting event.
Soccer leagues observing a minute of silence in honor of victims included Spain, Israel and the Netherlands.
In England, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola talked about the disaster following the Manchester derby in England.
“Terrible. Absolutely terrible. The world is crazy," he said. "The best thoughts for the family and everything.”
Manchester United coach Ten Hag said it was “really a disaster ... We are sad about it and our thoughts are with all the persons and the families and people of Indonesia.”
Some fans reacted to the news before kickoff in Manchester.
“We’ve been going to games for 50-odd years," said Ray Booth, a Man City fan. "We don’t think about these things, but it could quite easily happen. You have a panic with thousands of people all together. It could happen. It is frightening to think about.”
Both Manchester clubs said they were "deeply saddened" by the tragedy in Indonesia.
"We send our sincere condolences to the victims, their families, and everyone affected," Man United said.
In Spain, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez called for a minute of silence during the club's general assembly.
Barcelona said it was "pained by the tragic events" and rejected "all acts of violence both on and off the field." Ajax said "there should never be violence at a football match."
Among the players who reacted was veteran PSG defender Sergio Ramos, who called the tragedy “heartbreaking.”
"Our thoughts are with the victims and their families," he said on Twitter.
Soccer leagues also expressed their sadness, including the Premier League, the Italian league and the Spanish league.
In a statement, FIFA President Gianni Infantino offered condolences on behalf of the global soccer community, saying “the football world is in a state of shock.”
FIFA did not mention in its statement the under-20 World Cup that Indonesia is set to host next year.
UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin spoke on behalf of European soccer.
“I would like to express our profound shock and sadness at last night’s appalling events in East Java’s Kanjuruhan stadium,” he said. “Our community sends its sympathy and solidarity to everyone affected by this tragedy.”
The president of the Asian soccer confederation, Shaikh Salman, said he was “deeply shocked and saddened to hear such tragic news coming out of football-loving Indonesia.”
The Spanish soccer federation lamented the tragedy and said it "condemns any act of violence, especially those in a festive setting such as a football match.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s parliamentary speaker warned Sunday that protests over the death of a young woman in police custody could destabilize the country and urged security forces to deal harshly with those he claimed endanger public order, as countrywide unrest entered its third week.
Scattered anti-government protests appeared to break out in Tehran and running clashes with security forces in other towns, social media reports showed on Sunday, even as the government has moved to block, partly or entirely, internet connectivity in Iran.
Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf told lawmakers that unlike the current protests, which he said aim to topple the government, previous demonstrations by teachers and retirees over pay were aimed at reforms, according to the legislative body's website.
“The important point of the (past) protests was that they were reform-seeking and not aimed at overthrowing" the system, said Qalibaf. “I ask all who have any (reasons to) protest not to allow their protest to turn into destabilizing and toppling" of institutions.
Thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets over the last two weeks to protest the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who had been detained by Iran's morality police in the capital of Tehran for allegedly not adhering to Iran's strict Islamic dress code.
The protesters have vented their anger over the treatment of women and wider repression in the Islamic Republic. The nationwide demonstrations rapidly escalated into calls for the overthrow of the clerical establishment that has ruled Iran since its 1979 Islamic revolution.
Iranian state TV has reported that at least 41 protesters and police have been killed since the demonstrations began Sept. 17. An Associated Press count of official statements by authorities tallied at least 14 dead, with more than 1,500 demonstrators arrested.
Qalibaf, the parliamentary speaker, is a former influential commander in the paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Along with the president and the head of the judiciary, he is one of three ranking officials who deal with all important issues of the nation.
The three meet regularly and sometimes meet with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters.
Qalibaf said he believes many of those taking part in recent protests had no intention of seeking to overthrow the government in the beginning and claimed foreign-based opposition groups were fomenting protests aimed at tearing down the system. Iranian authorities have not presented evidence for their allegations of foreign involvement in the protests.
“Creating chaos in the streets will weaken social integrity, jeopardizing the economy while increasing pressure and sanctions by the enemy,” he said, referring to longstanding crippling U.S. sanctions on Iran.
Qalibaf promised to “amend the structures and methods of the morality police” to prevent a recurrence of what happened to Amini. The young woman died in the custody of the morality police. Her family alleged she was beaten, while officials claim she died of a heart attack.
His remarks came after a closed meeting of Parliament and a brief rally by lawmakers to voice support for Khamenei and the police, chanting “death to hypocrites,” a reference to Iranian opposition groups.
The statement by Qalibaf is seen as an appeal to Iranians to stop their protests while supporting police and the security apparatus.
Meanwhile, the hard-line Kayhan daily said Sunday that knife-carrying protesters attacked the newspaper building Saturday and shattered windows with rocks. It said they left when Guard members were deployed to the site.
On Saturday, protests continued on the Tehran University campus and in nearby neighborhoods and witnesses said they saw many young girls waving their head scarves above their heads in a gesture of defiance. Social media carried videos purportedly showing similar protests at the Mashhad and Shiraz universities but The Associated Press could not independently verify their authenticity.
A protester near Tehran University, 19-year-old Fatemeh who only gave her first name for fear of repercussions, said she joined the demonstration “to stop this behavior by police against younger people especially girls.”
Abdolali, a 63-year-old teacher who also declined to give his last name, said he was shot twice in the foot by police. He said: “I am here to accompany and support my daughter. I once participated in the 1979 Islamic Revolution that promised justice and freedom; it is time to materialize them.”
Protests resumed on Sunday in several cities including Mashhad, according to social media reports, and Tehran’s Sharif Industrial University, according to the semiofficial Tasnim news agency. Witnesses said security was tight in the areas nearby Tehran University and its neighborhoods downtown as hundreds of anti-riot police and plain clothes with their cars and motorbikes were stationed on junctions and squares. The AP could not immediately verify the authenticity of the reports.
Also on Sunday, media outlets reported the death of another Revolutionary Guard member in the southeastern city of Zahedan. That brought to five the number of IRG members killed in an attack on a police station by gunmen that, according to state media, left 19 people dead.
It wasn't clear if the attack, which Iranian authorities said was carried out by separatists, was related to the anti-government protests.
Local media said a police officer also had died in the Kurdish city of Marivan, following injuries during clashes with protesters. The protests have drawn supporters from various ethnic groups, including Kurdish opposition movements in the northwest of Iran that operate along the border with neighboring Iraq. 22-year-old Amini was an Iranian Kurd and the protests first erupted in Kurdish areas.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Guardians' lineup had a family look on Sunday.
Manager Terry Francona's batting order against Kansas City featured the Naylor brothers hitting back-to-back. Josh hit cleanup and played first base and Bo, who was called up from the minors Saturday, hit fifth as the designated hitter. Both players bat left-handed.
Bo Naylor is expected to be on Cleveland’s postseason roster as the third catcher. He made his major league debut in the sixth inning Saturday night, going 0 for 2 and throwing out a runner trying to steal second base.
Bo Naylor, 22, was selected by Cleveland in the first round of the 2018 draft. He began this season at Double-A Akron and was promoted to Triple-A Columbus in June. Bo Naylor is the only catcher in the minor leagues this season to have 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases.
Cleveland acquired Josh Naylor, 25, from San Diego in 2020. He overcame a gruesome leg injury last season to play a major role in Cleveland’s surprising run to the AL Central title. He is batting .251 with 19 home runs and 73 RBIs.

(NEXSTAR) – Nick Cannon’s kids officially number in the double-digits.
The actor, rapper and TV personality announced Friday that he and Brittany Bell had welcomed their third child together — and his 10th overall.
The couple also welcomed the baby, named Rise Messiah Cannon, within just weeks of the birth of Cannon’s ninth child, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon, whom he fathered with former “Price Is Right” model LaNisha Cole.
“Another Blessing!!! As my journey on this planet becomes more and more remarkable and unfathomable, all I can do is thank God and continue to ask the Most High to order my steps,” Cannon wrote on Instagram, before thanking Bell for her “matriarch energy in my time of need.”
Cannon added that Bell’s labor was “probably the most difficult” of his children’s births, calling it “48 hours of excruciating pain” and “life-risking danger.”
“Thank you Brittany for my fellow little Libra! I love you and our Incredible Family!” he concluded the post.
Cannon, 41, has fathered 10 children with six women, including three with Bell, two with ex-wife Mariah Carey, two with Abby De La Rosa and one each with Cole, Bri Tiesi and Alyssa Scott. His son with Scott died of brain cancer at five months of age, KTLA previously reported.
Following the birth of his ninth child earlier this month, Cannon commented on his unorthodox family and claimed he had “given up on attempting to define myself for the world or society.” He also asked critics to “project all criticism or cynicism” at him, rather than the mothers of his children.
Cannon is currently expecting his 11th child and third with De La Rosa, TMZ reported earlier this month.

(NEXSTAR) – The lyrics of “Monster Mash” are a bit fantastical, to say the least. The song clearly isn’t based on factual events, so any logical fallacies or gaps in continuity are easily forgiven.
The background vocals, though, are undoubtedly out-of-place, even for a novelty song about a well-attended undead dance party.
Let’s go back to the beginning: The 1962 song, performed by Bobby “Boris” Pickett, was written by Pickett and Lenny Capizzi, his bandmate in a group called The Cordials. The idea came about after Pickett began demonstrating his Boris Karloff impressions during the band’s cover of “Little Darlin’,” a 1957 song made famous by The Diamonds. Specifically, Pickett would perform the song’s monologue (“My darlin’, I need you…”) in his Karloff voice, much to the audience’s amusement.
At first, Pickett didn’t have much interest in Capizzi’s suggestion that they record an entire novelty song in his Karloff voice, and had instead hoped to break into showbiz as an actor. Pickett even secured an agent at one point, though he “died of a heart attack two week later,” he told the Washington Post in 1982.
“So I called Cordials leader Lenny Capizzi and said, ‘Maybe we should do that novelty record you suggested,'” Pickett said.
The song came together in just a few hours, with Pickett and Capizzi writing the lyrics over an I-vi-IV-V chord progression (the same used by countless doo-wop songs of the era, including “Little Darlin’” and Dee Dee Sharp’s “Mashed Potato Time,” among others). It didn’t take long to record, either. As Pickett recalled, a group of studio musicians banged out the tune while Pickett recorded his Karloff-like vocals in a single take, he once told Billboard.
Pickett also remembered that the song’s producer, Gary S. Paxton, performed all the practical sound effects himself, simulating the noises of bubbling potions with a straw and a glass of water, and mimicking the sound of a creaky coffin by pulling a “rusty nail out of a board,” he told author Jan Alan Henderson in 1995.
In fact, one of the few things Pickett couldn’t recall, even in his later years, was why the background vocalists were singing about shoes — of all things — during the song’s bridge.
“[They’re saying] ‘Ooh, tennis shoe, wah-ooh,” he told Dr. Demento in 2006. “We don’t know why.”
Despite its eccentricities — or more accurately, because of them — the song went reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts later that year, and remained in radio rotation for six decades.
“I never thought anyone would play it,” Pickett remarked in a KROQ interview in the early ‘90s. “I thought, this is such a goof, that only a few of my friends who were Boris Karloff freaks would enjoy it.”
Pickett quickly came to embrace his fame. He went on to record other, less-enduring novelty songs, including “Monster Swim” and “Werewolf Watusi.” He also continued to perform at concerts and Halloween festivals until his passing in 2007, often telling the crowd to prepare for a “a medley of [his] hit” and recalling how Elvis himself once said “Monster Mash” was the “dumbest thing he’d ever heard.”
Pickett, though, remained thoroughly thrilled with his place in pop-culture history.
“Monster Mash” has paid my rent for the last 33 years,” he remarked in his 1995 interview with Henderson. “I have no complaints!”

(NEXSTAR) — It’s been 44 years since the horror classic “Halloween” was first released in 1978 — when the world got its first glimpse of one of cinema’s scariest boogeymen, the un-killable Michael Myers. As the franchise prepares to release its 13th installment, “Halloween Ends,” you may want to catch up with the story so far.
With the “Halloween” franchise, however, that isn’t as simple as you might expect.
In total, there are three separate timelines stemming from the original movie, one remake timeline, and one standalone anthology film. Confused?
Films by release date
- “Halloween” (1978)
- “Halloween II” (1981)
- “Halloween III: Season of the Witch” (1982)
- “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers” (1988)
- “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers” (1989)
- “Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers” (1995)
- “Halloween H20: 20 Years Later” (1998)
- “Halloween: Resurrection” (2002)
- “Halloween” (2007)
- “Halloween II” (2009)
- “Halloween” (2018)
- “Halloween Kills” (2021)
- “Halloween Ends” (2022)
While this is the order the films were released in, it’s not the order you’re meant to watch them in — especially if you want the story to make sense.
Original timeline
Movies in order: “Halloween” (1978); “Halloween II” (1981); “Halloween 4”; “Halloween 5”; and “The Curse of Michael Myers”
Key differences: Sequels in this timeline end with “Curse.” Movies 4-6 do not feature franchise star Jamie Lee Curtis or her character Laurie Strode. Instead, they center on Laurie’s young daughter, Jamie Lloyd, among other new characters.
Spoiler-free overview: Michael Myers terrorizes the town of Haddonfield, Illinois, over a period of about 20 years, beginning with the events of the first film.
Trivia: While widely panned to this day, “Curse” later received a second release in the form of a much mythologized “Producer’s Cut.” This version — which features some substantial plot differences — existed in bootlegs traded among fans for decades before an official release in 2014. The movie also stars future “Ant Man” superstar Paul Rudd.
‘H20’ timeline
Movies in order: “Halloween” (1978); “Halloween II” (1981); “Halloween H20”; and “Resurrection”
Key differences: All sequels included in this timeline are only sequels to the first two “Halloween” movies. Jamie Lee Curtis appears in all four of these films.
Spoiler-free overview: Over the course of one Halloween night, Laurie Strode (Curtis) narrowly escapes death. Still traumatized by the events, Laurie has faked her own death and relocated to California where she comes face-to-face with Michael 20 years later.
Trivia: A contract stipulation resulted in both the creation of “Resurrection” and Curtis’ appearance in it. Curtis had returned to the series under the impression that “H20” would be the end of it all. Franchise owner/producer Moustapha Akkad, however, had other plans. If you happen to watch the much-disliked “Resurrection,” you’ll see just how much Curtis didn’t want to be in the movie.
‘H40’ timeline
Movies in order: “Halloween” (1978); “Halloween” (2018); “Halloween Kills”; and “Halloween Ends”
Key differences: All sequels in this timeline are only sequels to the very first movie. The events of “Halloween II” (1981) never happened.
Spoiler-free overview: After a murderous rampage on Halloween night in 1978, Michael Myers is captured and imprisoned. Forty years later, Laurie Strode (Curtis), still alive and in Haddonfield, must face her fears after Michael escapes and returns on Halloween. The recently released “Halloween Ends” trailer reveals its events will take place four years after the events of the 2018 movie and “Kills.”
Trivia: Many original cast members aside from Curtis returned for the three new films, including Nick Castle, the first Michael Myers, and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards, who was a child in the first film. Original director Carpenter returned for all three new films — this time co-producing the scores.
Rob Zombie remake timeline
Movies in order: “Halloween” (2007) and “Halloween II” (2009)
Key differences: The 2007 movie is both a remake of the 1978 movie and a semi-prequel. While much of the film follows the same story as the original, it also expands upon Michael’s childhood and psyche. Jamie Lee Curtis does not appear in either of these films, though Laurie Strode (played by Scout Taylor-Compton) does. Another key difference: lots and lots more gore.
Spoiler-free overview: Events of the first film are pretty much the same as the original. Its follow-up centers on the connections between Laurie and Michael. Both survivor and killer attempt to reconcile their pasts while experiencing mysterious hallucinations.
Trivia: Danielle Harris, who played Laurie Strode’s child in the original timeline, stars in both Zombie films but as a different character.
‘Halloween III’
Only movie: “Halloween III: Season of the Witch.” This isn’t even a sequel to the first movie.
Key differences: No Michael Myers. The masterminds behind the first “Halloween,” director/writer John Carpenter and writer/producer Debra Hill, weren’t all that interested in continuing the Strode-Myers story beyond “Halloween II.” But, as Inverse explains, Universal wanted a third movie. Since the series was originally planned as an anthology (with each movie featuring a different story centered around the Halloween season), Carpenter and Hill forged ahead with a new sci-fi/supernatural story.
Spoiler-free overview: The Silver Shamrock novelties company is releasing three new Halloween masks for children to enjoy during a televised giveaway. Based on the fact that this is a horror movie, you can probably guess there’s more to the story.
Trivia: Although it was both a critical and commercial flop upon its release, “Halloween III” has become somewhat of a cult classic — and even re-evaluated and considered a good movie by some. Fondness for this outlier even made its way into the most recent films, with Silver Shamrock masks appearing briefly in the 2018 movie and prominently in “Kills.”
All-in-all, the “Halloween” franchise has earned over $700 million since 1978. The series has spawned not only films but several tie-in and standalone books, graphic novels and even a very-pixelated Atari video game.
“Halloween Ends” hits both theaters and Peacock on Oct. 14. If you’re still lost, maybe it’s best to just put on one of the “Friday the 13th” or “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movies.

(NerdWallet) – You’ve probably heard the horror stories of crazy-high battery replacement costs for electric cars. Fears of battery failure, limited range and high purchase prices might make you wonder if buying a used EV is a smart decision.
This answer is, it depends — it depends on the condition of the EV you choose and how much you pay for it.
If you can find an older EV with a battery in good shape, it could be a bargain, says Ivan Drury, senior manager of insights for auto site Edmunds.com. But if you buy an EV that is being flipped at a premium that doesn’t qualify for a tax credit, it could be a trap.
While used EVs cost more than gas-powered internal combustion engine, or ICE, cars — with the average transaction price at about $41,000 — you have to look at the total cost of ownership, says Jesse Toprak, chief analyst for Autonomy, an EV subscription service. For example, he says driving an EV could save as much as $5,000 in gas costs in one year.
Buying an EV is different in many ways from purchasing an ICE vehicle. Here’s a look at the key differences and how they change the buying equation.
It’s all about the battery
The lithium ion battery in an EV is comparable to the motor in an ICE car. But with a battery, after a number of recharging cycles, it begins to lose the ability to fully charge. This means that the range will gradually begin to decrease.
Battery degradation doesn’t happen overnight, and it won’t leave you stranded by the side of the road. But as the range decreases, the car is, in a sense, less valuable.
How quickly, how much?
Consumers should expect EV batteries to last 10 years or longer, according to Recurrent Motors, an EV shopping and research site. Looking at the car’s original battery warranty can help you determine when you might see some battery degradation — but that doesn’t mean the battery is near death.
Fears of battery failure “are a bit overstated,” Toprak says. He thinks the anxiety comes from people thinking of an EV battery as being like a cell phone battery that degrades quickly. But in actuality, a Tesla Model 3 battery was built to deliver power for over 300,000 miles, he says.
Battery costs and warranties
But what if the battery does degrade to the point where it has to be replaced?
Estimates for the cost of new batteries are all over the map, from $0 (meaning it was replaced under warranty) to $20,000.
Nearly all new EV batteries are warrantied for at least eight years or 100,000 miles. In California, EV and hybrid batteries will be covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles by the year 2030, as part of the Advanced Clean Cars II regulations.
You may be able to buy one used off a wrecked EV, or find one that has been reconditioned, at a discounted price.
Pricey EVs
Another factor stopping more people from buying used EVs is their high purchase price compared to ICE cars. Drury says recent Edmunds data shows that EVs less than 2 years old — a market dominated by Teslas and car flippers — are listed for an average price of $58,179. But a 4-year-old EV costs an average of $30,400.
While the purchase price is higher than a gas car, Toprak says EVs save money in the long run due to:
- Incentives and rebates: Some state and federal incentives might effectively reduce the price of a used EV.
- Cost of gas: Depending on how much you pay for electricity, charging an EV is less expensive than gas.
- Maintenance: EVs do not require oil changes and have less likelihood of repairs that ICE cars are prone to because there are fewer systems to check on an EV. Additionally, because EVs use a braking system that recaptures energy to charge the battery, brake pads wear out slowly.
Shopping for a used EV
Since an EV has fewer moving parts, the buying process is actually much more transparent, Toprak says. The main factor is the battery’s health. The potential range can be checked by taking these steps:
- Note the maximum range of the EV as listed on the manufacturer’s site.
- Ask the seller to have the vehicle’s battery fully charged prior to a test drive.
- Check the EV’s mileage gauge to see the indicated range of the fully charged battery.
- Take the car for an extended test drive with the air conditioning on and simulate your typical style of driving.
- Check the remaining range at the end of the test drive.
- Calculate whether the indicated range was mostly accurate by subtracting the final range from the maximum range.
- Get a used car inspection with a brand specialist or a local EV mechanic.

(NerdWallet) – Despite the headlines, college is still the surest path toward better lifelong earnings. But a degree is far more likely to pay off if you haven’t borrowed a small fortune to get it.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is a key step in making college affordable. Applications for the 2023-24 school year open on Oct. 1, and those who apply early stand the best chance of getting more free money for school.
D. Jean Hester, who oversaw college enrollment and admissions at schools in Ohio and Oregon for over a decade, advises getting in line as quickly as you can. While the federal government doesn’t run out of money for need-based aid, colleges and states do.
“Do it this fall. There’s absolutely no reason to wait,” Hester says.
When you submit the FAFSA, you are applying for need-based aid that can make a big difference in where you decide to go to school and how much debt you’ll face after graduation. Every dollar you get in grants, scholarships and work-study is one you won’t have to beg from family or borrow.
Filing early also means you’ll get your financial aid offer from the colleges you apply to sooner, Hester notes, allowing you time to compare offers or resolve any discrepancies.
“It’s one of those things you just need to get out of the way,” she says.
Types of aid covered by the FAFSA
The FAFSA is used to calculate your family’s Expected Family Contribution, or EFC. Subtract the EFC from your school’s official cost of attendance to reveal your financial need; the completed FAFSA then serves as your application for financial aid to help fill that hole.
A completed FAFSA unlocks these types of need-based federal, state and school aid:
- Pell Grants.
- Work-study.
- Scholarships.
- Grants.
The current maximum Pell Grant award is $6,895; any combination of grants, work-study and scholarships can cover some or all of the difference between the school’s official cost of attendance and your family’s expected financial contribution.
The great thing: These types of aid don’t need to be repaid.
You also need to complete the FAFSA to access federal student loans.
Watch your student loan debt tally
After completing the FAFSA, you are likely to be offered subsidized federal loans as well; they are called financial aid because the government pays the interest on them until you graduate. But they must be repaid like any other loan.
The FAFSA also serves as the application for unsubsidized federal loans, which aren’t tied to need. For freshmen, the amount is capped at $5,500 a year, but that rises to $7,500 by junior year.
If you need to borrow money beyond that amount, you could get a private student loan.
Any loan — whether subsidized or unsubsidized or private — becomes part of the debt you’ll have to cope with once you graduate. A NerdWallet analysis suggests the high school class of 2022 could face an average debt of nearly $40,000 by the time they graduate college.
And while student loan news is currently focused on President Joe Biden’s recent cancellation announcement, the administration has made clear that this allowance is tied to COVID relief and won’t happen again.

(NerdWallet) – Disgruntled Airbnb guests are taking to Twitter and TikTok to vent about everything from cleaning fees to misleading listings. But they aren’t the only ones with complaints: Airbnb hosts themselves have become increasingly disillusioned with the platform and its disrespectful guests.
On message boards and Facebook groups, hosts are sharing their own challenges and horror stories. One host claimed that a group of guests was unwilling to leave the property despite receiving a full refund from Airbnb.
“I went to the apartment to check what was going on, and I was in shock to discover that the tenants were still in the apartment,” the host wrote on the website AirbnbHell. “They immediately called the police on me and I was kicked out of my own apartment by a team of the police — a complete shock.”
While these anecdotes might seem like the natural byproduct of the largely unregulated short-term rental industry, they speak to larger trends impacting hosts. A 2021 report from Bloomberg detailed how Airbnb’s secretive crisis team spends millions of dollars to cover up crimes and other publicity nightmares in its listings. And the platform recently launched “anti-party technology” in an effort to defray hosts’ frustrations with large, destructive gatherings.
These issues raise the question: Is Airbnb itself the problem — or are the guests?
Silly String and Foul Odors
In May of this year, Airbnb launched a new “AirCover” protection plan for guests and hosts. It promises quick reimbursement for hosts and up to $1 million in damage protection. And while many hosts consider this policy generous, it still comes with plenty of gray areas.
Emily Muskin Rathner, a digital marketing professional living in Cleveland, began renting her house on Airbnb in August 2021. She says that hosting has been a pleasant and profitable enterprise overall, but a few guests have caused major problems, including a family that rented the house this June.
“They left the house a mess,” she says. “There was human feces on our laundry. They sprayed Silly String all over the place. I don’t care about Silly String, but can you pick it up? It left stains, oddly.”
Muskin Rathner received reimbursement from Airbnb for most of her claims. But some damage, such as nail polish smeared on the bathroom tile, didn’t qualify for reimbursement because she wasn’t able to provide documentation for the cost of the tile. And then there was the smell.
“It really, really stunk. The air conditioning had been left off for a week — in June.”
Red tape everywhere
The early days of short-term vacation rentals offered hosts a simple proposition: Rent your home and earn some extra money. Yet as the industry has matured, it’s been met with regulation efforts from local governments.
Cities such as Denver and Portland, Oregon, have been cracking down on unlicensed short-term rentals, levying fines against hosts and requiring expensive permits. These policies allow local governments to collect taxes and regulate problematic behavior, but they add one more layer of complexity for hosts, many of whom have little experience in hospitality.
Furthermore, many local governments place the burden of tax collection on hosts, not Airbnb. A 2022 analysis by the National League of Cities, an advocacy organization composed of city, town and village leaders, estimated that 82% of cities require hosts to remit taxes themselves, while only 5% require the platform to do so on hosts’ behalf.
Hosts must now not only act as full-time customer service agents and hospitality experts, but also navigate local regulations and master convoluted taxation laws.

Competition from management companies
The romantic notion of home sharing as a means for homeowners to pay their mortgages has given way to management companies inserting themselves and aiming to maximize profits. And small-time hosts can’t keep up with these corporate competitors.
A study of short-term rentals in the U.K. found that the number of listings managed by hosts with a single property dropped from 69% in 2015 to 39% in 2019. And data from the nonprofit Inside Airbnb suggests that only 39.1% of properties in Los Angeles are managed by single-property hosts.
These mega-hosts are able to operate at scale, maximizing efficiency on everything from pricing adjustments to cleaning staff. Single-property hosts can’t keep up, or are unwilling to deal with the hassle, and are being elbowed out of the ecosystem.

(The Conversation) – Shortages of basic goods still plague the U.S. economy – 2½ years after the pandemic’s onset turned global supply chains upside down.
Want a new car? You may have to wait as long as six months, depending on the model you order. Looking for a spicy condiment? Supplies of Sriracha hot sauce have been running dangerously low. And if you feed your cat or dog dry pet food, expect empty shelves or elevated prices.
These aren’t isolated products. Baby formula, wine and spirits, lawn chairs, garage doors, butter, cream cheese, breakfast cereal and many more items have also been facing shortages in the U.S. during 2022 – and popcorn and tomatoes are expected to be in short supply soon.
In fact, global supply chains have been under the most strain in at least a quarter-century, and have been pretty much ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
I have been immersed in supply chain management for over 35 years, both as a manager and consultant in the private sector and as an adjunct professor at Colorado State University – Global Campus.
While each product experiencing a shortage has its own story as to what went wrong, at the root of most is a concept people in my field call the “bullwhip effect.”
What is the ‘bullwhip effect’?
The term bullwhip effect was coined in 1961 by MIT computer scientist Jay Forrester in his seminal book “Industrial Dynamics.” It describes what happens when fluctuations in demand reverberate and amplify throughout the supply chain, leading to worsening problems and shortages.
Imagine the physics of cracking a whip. It starts with a small flick of the wrist, but the whip’s wave patterns grow exponentially in a chain reaction, leading to the tip, a snap – and a sharp pain for anyone on the receiving end.
The same thing can happen in supply chains when orders for a product from a retailer, say, go up or down by some amount and that gets amplified by wholesalers, distributors and raw material suppliers.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to lengthy lockdowns, massive unemployment and a whole host of other effects that messed up global supply chains, essentially supercharged the bullwhip’s snap.How the bullwhip effect works.
Cars and chips
The supply of autos is one such example.
New as well as used vehicles have been in short supply throughout the pandemic, at times forcing consumers to wait as long as a year for the most popular models.
In early 2020, when the pandemic put most Americans in lockdown, carmakers began to anticipate a fall in demand, so they significantly scaled back production. This sent a signal to suppliers, especially of computer chips, that they would need to find different buyers for their products.
Computer chips aren’t one size fits all; they are designed differently depending on their end use. So chipmakers began making fewer chips intended for use in cars and trucks and more for computers and smart refrigerators.
So when demand for vehicles suddenly returned in early 2021, carmakers were unable to secure enough chips to ramp up production. Production last year was down about 13% from 2019 levels. Since then, chipmakers have began to produce more car-specific chips, and Congress even passed a law to beef up U.S. manufacturing of semiconductors. Some carmakers, such as Ford and General Motors, have decided to sell incomplete cars, without chips and the special features they power like touchscreens, to relieve delays.
But shortages remain. You could chalk this up to poor planning, but it’s also the bullwhip effect in action.
The bullwhip is everywhere
And this is a problem for a heck of a lot of goods and parts, especially if they, like semiconductors, come from Asia.
In fact, pretty much everything Americans get from Asia – about 40% of all U.S. imports – could be affected by the bullwhip effect.
Most of this stuff travels to the U.S. by container ships, the cheapest means of transportation. That means goods must typically spend a week or longer traversing the Pacific Ocean.
The bullwhip effect comes in when a disruption in the information flow from customer to supplier happens.
For example, let’s say a customer sees that an order of lawn chairs has not been delivered by the expected date, perhaps because of a minor transportation delay. So the customer complains to the retailer, which in turn orders more from the manufacturer. Manufacturers see orders increase and pass the orders on to the suppliers with a little added, just in case.
What started out as a delay in transportation now has become a major increase in orders all down the supply chain. Now the retailer gets delivery of all the products it overordered and reduces the next order to the factory, which reduces its order to suppliers, and so on.
Now try to visualize the bullwhip of orders going up and down at the suppliers’ end.
The pandemic caused all kinds of transportation disruptions – whether due to a lack of workers, problems at a port or something else – most of which triggered the bullwhip effect.
The end isn’t nigh
When will these problems end? The answer will likely disappoint you.
As the world continues to become more interconnected, a minor problem can become larger if information is not available. Even with the right information at the right time, life happens. A storm might cause a ship carrying new cars from Europe to be lost at sea. Having only a few sources of baby formula causes a shortage when a safety issue shuts down the largest producer. Russia invades Ukraine, and 10% of the world’s grain is held hostage.
The early effects of the pandemic in 2020 led to a sharp drop in demand, which rippled through supply chains and decreased production. A strong U.S. economy and consumers flush with coronavirus cash led to a surge in demand in 2021, and the system had a hard time catching up. Now the impact of soaring inflation and a looming recession will reverse that effect, leading to a glut of stuff and a drop in orders. And the cycle will repeat.
As best as I can tell, these disruptions will take many years to recover from. And as recent inflation reduces demand for goods, and consumers begin cutting back, the bullwhip will again work its way through the supply chain – and you’ll see more shortages as it does.

(WHTM) — We have all seen flies do it. They land on a surface, stay perfectly still, and then rub their limbs together like a supervillain that wants to dominate the world.
Well, that last part may not be true. But, why do flies rub their limbs together?
It may sound like an oxymoron, but, they are actually cleaning themselves.
Raid.com says that flies have sensors all over their body. On their feet, as well as tiny hair-like features all over their body. It may seem weird that an insect that thrives off dirt and grime can clean itself, but this is a natural grooming technique that flies do.
However, flies just don’t clean their feet. They actually rub their limbs against their heads and wings and even rub their hind legs together.
But, even though flies clean and groom themselves, they still carry plenty of bacteria and many diseases. Raid.com says that the common house fly is suspected of carrying at least 65 diseases to people, including
- Dysentery
- Diarrhea
- Cholera
- Typhoid fever
- Leprosy
- Anthrax
- Tularemia
- Tuberculosis
- Yaws
- Poliomyelitis
Obviously most are harmless, but if you see a few flies in an area of your home, you may want to do a thorough cleaning.
The Illinois department of health says the main step is eliminating fly breeding sites, or where flies love to go.
Trash should be kept sealed, dumpsters outside should have lids on them at all times, and that manure and other decaying plant and animal should be removed.
Flies are a nuisance, but they aren’t trying to achieve world domination when you see them rubbing their limbs together, just trying to get at your food sources.

HONOLULU (KHON) – Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is recovering at his South Florida home after he was slammed to the turf during Thursday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals — and carted off the field on a stretcher with injuries to his head and neck.
An outpouring of support and concern over Tagovailoa’s safety immediately followed Thursday’s game, along with questions of whether he should have even played that day.
Even for those in the National Football League, seeing the Hawaii native getting slammed to the turf, and his subsequent reaction, came as a shock. They also immediately raised concerns for his safety.
“I was devastated. I got a bunch of texts from friends all over the mainland and in Hawaii,” said former NFL player Leo Goeas.
“It was definitely a scary sight,” added former NFL player Chad Owens. “I’ve been in games where guys have gotten stretchered off. It’s never fun to see that, especially with someone like Tua.”
Viewers were not only worried about his immediate health, but also about the young quarterback’s future.
“Understand the gravity and how brutal and violent this game is, and you just pray for something that’s not gonna be long-term,” said former NFL player Rich Miano.
Tagovailoa was already hurt during Sunday’s game. The team said it was a back injury. And now the Dolphins are facing a lot of criticism about letting him play on Thursday.
The NFL Players Association is investigating.
“On a short week, a Sunday-Thursday turnaround, you’re putting the player at risk even though if it was just a back injury. You’re not gonna heal in that short of a time,” said Owens.
“You just hope that it was diagnosed properly the first time and you hope that there was nobody complicit, just thinking about winning,” said Miano.
Miami’s head coach said all the safety protocols were followed.
“I wouldn’t have put him out there if there was any inclination given to me whatsoever that he was endangering himself,” said Mike McDaniel.
Former players, meanwhile, spoke of the pressure for a player to get back on the field — even when they’re hurt.
“You want to get out every Sunday and be with your teammates and do all that. But when it comes to your head, your brain, it’s something that could have lifelong lasting effects,” said Goeas.

(NEXSTAR) – United Airlines is cutting a dozen routes from its network partly due to reduced demand, a spokesperson for the carrier indicated.
The cuts, first reported by The Points Guy, primarily affect travelers departing from Los Angeles and San Francisco, as United is cutting four routes from each of the two air hubs.
The 12 routes being dropped from United’s schedule are:
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Colorado Springs Airport
- LAX to Dane County Regional Airport (Madison, Wisconsin)
- LAX to Eugene Airport (Oregon)
- LAX to Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport (Oregon)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
- SFO to St. Louis Lambert International Airport
- SFO to Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City)
- SFO to Dane County Regional Airport
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Santa Barbara Airport (California)
- ORD to Eugene Airport
- George Bush Intercontinental Airport (Houston) to Edmonton International Airport (Alberta, Canada)
- Newark Liberty International Airport (New Jersey) to Northwest Arkansas National Airport
When asked to comment for the cuts, a spokesperson for United Airlines indicated that decreased demand was the reason for the change. She said, however, that United plans to resume “most” of the routes at some point.
“We regularly adjust our schedule for a variety of reasons, including demand and the broader needs of our network,” the spokesperson wrote in an email shared with Nexstar. “These are primarily seasonal changes and we plan to resume most of these routes at a future time.”
News of United’s plan to cut 12 of its routes comes amid reports of a pilot shortage affecting the airline industry. United CEO Scott Kirby had hinted at staffing issues as a result of a pilot shortage since at least the summer of 2021, when remarked on an episode of “Axios on HBO” that “the military produces far fewer pilots today than they did … in the Cold War era,” The Hill reported at the time.
More recently, Kirby told investors that the airline industry could be suffering for years as a result of too few pilots.
“The pilot shortage for the industry is real, and most airlines are simply not going to be able to realize their capacity plans because there simply aren’t enough pilots, at least not for the next five-plus years,” Kirby said in the spring of 2022, NewsNation reported.
United’s spokesperson did not indicate when United planned to resume any of the 12 affected routes, or which ones could be returning. The Points Guy, however, reported that United still serves all of the affected destination airports (Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, St. Louis Lambert International Airport, etc.) from other hubs.

VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis on Sunday appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin for a cease-fire, imploring him to "stop this spiral of violence and death" in Ukraine and denouncing the "absurd" risk of the "uncontrollable" consequences of nuclear attack as tensions sharply escalate over the war.
Francis uttered his strongest plea yet about the seventh-month-old conflict, which he denounced as an "error and a horror."
It was the first time in public that he cited Putin's role in the war. The pontiff also called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to "be open" to serious peace proposals.
Francis told the public, gathered in St. Peter's Square, that he was abandoning his usual religious theme for his Sunday noon remarks to concentrate his reflection on Ukraine.
"How the war is going in Ukraine has become so grave, devastating and threatening that it sparks great worry," Francis said.
"In fact, this terrible, inconceivable wound of humanity, instead of shrinking, continues to bleed even more, threatening to spread," the pope said.
"I deplore strongly the grave situation created in the last days, with further actions contrary to the principles of international law," Francis said, in a clear reference to Putin's illegal annexation of a large swath of eastern Ukraine. "It, in fact, increases the risk of a nuclear escalation, to the point of fearing uncontrollable and catastrophic consequences on the world level."
"Rivers of blood and tears spilled these months torment me,'' the pope said. "I am pained by the thousands of victims, in particular among the children, and by so much destruction, that leaves many persons and families homeless and threatens vast territories with cold and hunger,'' he said.
"Certain actions can never be justified, never,'' the pope said. He didn't elaborate. But Putin sought to justify launching the invasion saying he needed to protect his country from what he called "Nazi" elements in Ukraine.
"It's anguishing that the world is learning the geography of Ukraine through names like Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol, Izium, Zaporizhizhia and other places, that have become places of indescribable sufferings and fears,'' Francis said.
"And what to say about the fact that humanity finds itself again faced with atomic threat? It's absurd,'' Francis said, who then called for an immediate cease-fire.
"My appeal is directed above all to the president of the Russian Federation, imploring him to stop, also for the love of his people, this spiral of violence and death,'' Francis said. "On the other side, pained by the immense suffering of the Ukrainian people following the aggression undergone, I direct a similarly trusting appeal to the president of Ukraine to be open to serious proposals of peace,'' Francis said.
It is rare for the pope to single out leaders in his frequent appeals for an end to violent conflicts. In doing so, Francis signaled his extreme worry over the deteriorating situation.
"May arms cease and conditions be searched for to start negotiations able to lead to solutions not imposed by force but agreed upon, just and stable,'' Francis said. "And they will be thus if they are based on respect for the sacrosanct value of human life, as well as on the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of every country, as well as the rights of minorities and of legitimate concerns."
Invoking God's name and the "sense of humanity that lodges in every heart," he renewed his many pleas for an immediate cease-fire.
Without elaborating, Francis also called for the "recourse to all diplomatic instruments, including those so far possibly not utilized, to end this immense tragedy."
"The war itself is an error and a horror,'' the pontiff lamented.
Throughout the war, Francis has denounced the recourse to arms. But recently, he stressed Ukraine's right to defend itself from aggression. Logistics complications have frustrated his oft-stated hope to make a pilgrimage to Ukraine to encourage peace efforts.

(WFLA/WRIC) — As Hurricane Ian brings catastrophic flooding in several U.S. areas, those impacted may find themselves asking, “Can I flush my toilet?”
The answer depends on how your community plumbing system works, according to Lou Hidalgo, owner of Master & Sons Plumbing in Richmond, Virginia. Hidalgo says massive rainfall places pressure on city storm and sewer systems. If those systems become filled and rainwater floods into the streets, flushing should be avoided, the plumber advises.
For people in rural areas using septic tanks, Hidalgo says heavy rain can cause drain fields to become saturated and distribution boxes to reach their limits. People living in these areas should avoid flushing until they are confident their septic tank is not at capacity.
Septic tank owners who believe their tanks are flooded should contact a plumber once the storm passes, Hidalgo recommends. Sewer lines that have become compacted during flooding may need to be cleared by a professional. Pumping is not always the solution, as it can cause damage to tanks that are unnaturally full.
When power outages and flooding happen at the same time, plumbing issues can worsen, particularly in rural communities with older water systems. Limiting water usage during flooding can prevent further damage to water systems, Hidalgo says.

- Polkadot price has seen bulls trying to break out of the bear trend.
- DOT price underwent firm rejection even before the actual breakout test was going to happen.
- Expect a new low for 2022 if the British pound has another meltdown or if Putin ramps up the war rhetoric.
Polkadot (DOT) price action has been on the cusp of breaking the chains of the bear market as, at one point this week, bulls tried to make a run for $6.92. Instead, they were cut short in their tracks by a very simple technical cap. Expect to see some possible gains being eked out this evening for the week, but risk looms for next week.
DOT price is unable to get away and remains captive
Polkadot price saw bulls finally break out of the negative sentiment and try to break above the important price tag at $6.92. However, a few events have cut the legs from under the bulls' chairs and saw their attempt stranding at the monthly pivots just a few cents below that high level. Reasons enough, as the British pound had a meltdown and forced the BOE to step in and calm the markets, the BOJ stood ready to intervene yet again, and Putin ramped up the war talk while the demand for the use of nuclear weapons enlarges by the day in Russia.
DOT price could see a new low for 2022 as the above-mentioned tail risks are only broadening. Headlines at the end of this week from the IMF demanding the UK to wind down its tax cut program are not what you would want right now to stabilize your currency and economy. Expect another plunge lower to probably $5 between this month's monthly S1 and S2 support levels.
DOT/USD Weekly chart
After all the turmoil last week, some radio silence from Russia or smaller headlines making smaller waves could be a welcome calm moment for the markets. That would open up the window for some movements to the upside in the wake of that tranquility. Expect a jump towards $7.50 around the 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).

(iSeeCars) – Maybe your car is looking and feeling pretty worn out, or maybe your life circumstances changed recently and you need a new car to meet your new needs. Regardless of the driving forces, when it’s time to transfer ownership of your car to a new owner you have several options.
You can simply take your used car to a local dealership and trade it in. The upside is, this is the easiest route. The downside is, dealer trade-in value is likely the lowest value for your car you could possibly receive, because dealers have to re-sale your car, either at auction or to a private party, and ensure they make a profit on it.
While it certainly takes more effort, selling a used vehicle isn’t the hassle it once was, particularly with the modern car-selling tools available to every consumer. This article will walk you through the steps of selling your car yourself, which should remove any questions you have about the process.
Step One: Determine the Value of Your Car
Once upon a time, only dealers had access to industry valuation tools like the Kelley Blue Book price and a vehicle history report, two critical items when determining the best price for a car. Now anyone can access both items, along with a wide range of additional tools, as discussed below.
A vehicle’s market value and service history can be found through a variety of sources. iSeeCars.com offers its own Price My Car tool, as well as a comprehensive VIN Report (VIN stands for vehicle identification number), which combines both a market value assessment with a history of service, both customized to a specific vehicle based on its VIN. The iSeeCars VIN Report takes into account everything from local sales of similar vehicles to your car’s current odometer reading. It also provides an ownership history, recall history, and predicted depreciation over the coming 1, 3, and 5 years. These tools can help you confirm the right asking price for your vehicle.
Step Two: Organize Your Car’s Documentation
Once you know the value of your vehicle you can prep it for sale. The most important document you’ll need is your car’s title. If there’s a car loan on your vehicle you won’t have the vehicle title, which means you’ll need to work with the buyer and your lender on the title transfer once the car is sold. You should always tell prospective buyers the vehicle has a loan that has to be paid off early in the car sale process.
It’s pretty straightforward when selling a car with a loan on it, where a bank or financial institution holds a lien on the vehicle. You simply ask the lender for the exact pay off amount, which the buyer can provide to the lender with a cashier’s check, at which point the lender will release the title. The difference between the pay off amount and your car’s sales price is what you’ll have left after selling the vehicle, which the buyer can pay directly to you. A cashier’s check is among the most secure forms of payment, so feel free to require one from the buyer.
You’ll also want to gather all paperwork related to your vehicle. This includes any service records and warranty documentation you may have, as well as past registrations to confirm the vehicle’s history of use (feel free to redact personal information, like addresses and phone numbers, from these documents for your own peace of mind and privacy concerns).
Step Three: Advertise Your Vehicle
There are several options for finding potential buyers when it’s time to sell your car. You can advertise in local listings like your city’s newspaper website or Craigslist, or use national car marketplaces like Autotrader, Cars.com, Edmunds.com, and Facebook Marketplace. Each of them has a large audience and an interface that makes it easy to zero in on cars based on price, location, color, features etc.
Be sure you take plenty of photographs of your vehicle for the online ad, as these will increase the confidence for non-local buyers that can’t easily see the vehicle in person. While you shouldn’t invest too much money in a car you’re about to sell, spending some time and/or a small amount of money getting the vehicle cleaned up will improve your chances of getting your asking price.
Step Four: Working With Potential Car Buyers
Once your ad is live you should begin receiving inquiries from interested buyers almost immediately, assuming you did your homework and came up with a realistic asking price based on your car’s market value.
Many car sellers feel uncomfortable when it’s time to deal with potential buyers. This is understandable, and some basic security measures should be taken before meeting a buyer in person. For instance, if a buyer wants to see the vehicle, don’t meet at your house or in some random location, and never meet them at night. Meet them where other people are likely to be milling about, like outside a busy store, or where security cameras are likely to be in use, like a police station parking lot.
Feel free to bring a family member or friend along. The more the merrier! And if the buyer wants to take the car for a test drive, ask them to produce a valid driver’s license and auto insurance card first. Then ride with them on the test drive – never let them take the car on their own.
Step Five: Selling Your Car
You may have to negotiate the price with a buyer, but don’t be too quick to lower the price, especially if you’re still early in the sales process. If you valued your car properly, you should be able to find a buyer who will pay at or near your asking price.
Once you have a buyer ready to buy your car you’ll need a bill of sale to record the transaction.
A bill of sale states the car’s year, make, model and VIN, plus the buyer’s and seller’s name, the date of the transaction, and the selling price. Both the buyer and seller should sign the bill of sale and both should have a copy of it once signed.
As stated before, you’ll also need to sign over the vehicle title to the buyer, and if your title is held by a bank you’ll need the buyer to work with the lending institution to pay off the loan before the title is released. Meeting at the bank for the final transaction will make this process much easier, and even if you don’t have a vehicle loan the bank is a good place to transfer the title and receive the buyer’s funds, as you can verify the buyer’s form of payment before signing over the title.
In some states you’ll want to sign a release of liability form, which is a record of the car leaving your possession and transferring to a new owner. This protects you from any future liability issues related to the car. Similarly, in many states you will want to remove the car’s license plates and keep or destroy those, while in other states the license plate number stays with a car, even when ownership is transferred. Check with your state’s department of motor vehicles (DMV) to confirm which protocol is in place.
Additional Options
If you own a classic, special interest, or high-performance vehicle you may get a better price by using an auction site that specializes in these types of vehicles. Two prominent sites for these types of vehicles are Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids. Both allow you to list your car in front of a large audience that’s likely to recognize and appreciate your vehicle, and if two or more people want your car the sale price can really skyrocket. We recently published an article comparing Bring a Trailer to Cars and Bids that will explain how they work in detail.
If you’re still not convinced about selling your car to a private party there are other, non-traditional dealership options to consider. You can sell your car to online retailers like Carvana or Vroom. We even have an article that compares to two if you’d like a better understanding of how that process works. And if you’re combining your car selling process with the car buying process (a common pairing) you can use a non-traditional physical dealer like CarMax, which offers a network of stores across the country and a wide selection of cars and SUVs to choose from.

MALANG, Indonesia (AP) — Police firing tear gas after an Indonesian soccer match in an attempt to stop violence triggered a disastrous crush of fans making a panicked, chaotic run for the exits, leaving at least 125 people dead, most of them trampled upon or suffocated.
Attention immediately focused on police crowd-control measures at Saturday night’s match between host Arema FC of East Java’s Malang city and Persebaya Surabaya. Witnesses described officers beating them with sticks and shields before shooting tear gas canisters directly into the crowds.
It was among the deadliest disasters ever at a sporting event. President Joko Widodo ordered an investigation of security procedures, and the president of FIFA called the deaths “a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension.” While FIFA has no control over domestic games, it has advised against the use of tear gas at soccer stadiums.
Brawls are common among rival Indonesian soccer fans, so much so that the organizer had banned Persebaya supporters from Arema’s stadium. But violence still broke out when the home team lost 3-2 and some of the 42,000 Arema fans, known as “Aremania,” threw bottles and other objects at players and soccer officials.
Witnesses said the fans flooded the Kanjuruhan Stadium pitch and demanded that Arema management explain why, after 23 years of undefeated home matches against Persebaya, this one ended in a defeat.
At least five police vehicles were toppled and set ablaze outside the stadium. Riot police responded by firing tear gas, including toward the stadium’s stands, causing panic among the crowd.
“The stadium turned into a smoke-filled battleground when police fired tear gas,” said Rizky, who goes by one name. He came with his cousin to watch the game.
“I felt hot and stinging in my eyes, I couldn’t see clearly while my head was dizzy and everything went dark … I passed out,” he said. When he woke up, he was already in the emergency room. He said his cousin died because of head injuries.
“We wanted to entertain ourselves by watching a football match, but we got disaster,” he said.
Another spectator, Ahmad Fatoni, said police had started beating the fans with sticks and shields, and they fought back.
“Officers fired tear gas directly at spectators in the stands, forcing us to run toward the exit,” he said. “Many victims fell because of shortness of breath and difficulty seeing due to tear gas and were trampled.”
He said he climbed the roof of the stands and only came down when the situation calmed.
Others suffocated and were trampled as hundreds of people ran to the exit to avoid the tear gas. In the chaos, 34 died at the stadium, including two officers, and some reports include children among the casualties.
“Some were trampled, some fell down and some got hit,” Rian Dwi Cahyono told Sky News from the hospital, where he was being treated for an injured arm. Asked what triggered the panic, he replied: “Tear gas.”
National Police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo said the death toll had been revised to 125 from 174, after authorities found some of the victims were counted twice. More than 100 were receiving intensive treatment in eight hospitals, 11 of them in critical condition.
East Java police chief Nico Afinta defended the use of tear gas.
“We have already done a preventive action before finally firing the tear gas as (fans) began to attack the police, acting anarchically and burning vehicles,” he told a news conference early Sunday.
Indonesia’s soccer association, known as PSSI, suspended the premier soccer league Liga 1 indefinitely in light of the tragedy and banned Arema from hosting soccer matches for the remainder of the season.
Grieving relatives waited for information about their loved ones at Malang’s Saiful Anwar General Hospital. Others tried to identify the bodies laid at a morgue while medical workers put identification tags on the bodies of the victims.
“I deeply regret this tragedy and I hope this is the last soccer tragedy in this country, don’t let another human tragedy like this happen in the future,” Widodo said in a televised speech. “We must continue to maintain sportsmanship, humanity and a sense of brotherhood of the Indonesian nation.”
He ordered the sports minister, the national police chief and the PSSI chair to conduct a thorough evaluation of the country’s soccer and its security procedure.
Youth and Sports Minister Zainudin Amali said the incident “has certainly injured our soccer image.” Indonesia is due to host the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup from May 20 to June 11, with 24 participating teams. As the host, the country automatically qualifies for the cup.
In a statement, FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed condolences on behalf of the global football community, saying “the football world is in a state of shock.” The statement did not mention the use of tear gas.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis said he was praying for “all those who have lost their live and were injured in the clashes that erupted after a soccer game in Malang, Indonesia.”
The restriction on Persebaya fans from entering the stadium was imposed after clashes between supporters of the two rival teams in East Java’s Blitar stadium in February 2020 caused 250 million rupiah ($18,000) in damage. Brawls were reported outside the stadium during and after the semifinals of the East Java Governor’s Cup, which ended with Persebaya beating Arema 4-2.
Rights groups responded to the tragedy by blaming the use of tear gas in the stadium by police.
Citing FIFA’s stadium safety guidelines against the use of “crowd control gas” by pitch side stewards or police, Amnesty International called on Indonesian authorities to conduct a swift investigation into the use of tear gas and ensure that those who are found to have committed violations are tried in open court and do not merely receive internal or administrative sanctions.
Usman Hamid, executive director of Amnesty International Indonesia, said tear gas should only be used to disperse crowds when widespread violence has occurred and other methods have failed. People must be warned that tear gas will be used and allowed to disperse. “No one should lose their lives at a football match,” Hamid said.
Hundreds of soccer fans, mostly wearing black shirts, held a candlelight vigil on Sunday night at Gelora Bung Karno, Indonesia’s largest sport stadium in the capital, Jakarta, for the victims of the disaster. They sang songs they composed to lift the spirits of the grieving Aremanias.
Despite Indonesia’s lack of international accolades in the sport, hooliganism is rife in the soccer-obsessed country where fanaticism often ends in violence, as in the 2018 death of a Persija Jakarta supporter who was killed by a mob of hardcore fans of rival club Persib Bandung in 2018.
Data from Indonesia’s soccer watchdog, Save Our Soccer, showed 78 people have died in game-related incidents over the past 28 years.
Saturday’s game is already among the world’s worst crowd disasters, including the 1996 World Cup qualifier between Guatemala and Costa Rica in Guatemala City where over 80 died and over 100 more were injured. In April 2001, more than 40 people are crushed to death during a soccer match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa.

(KTLA) – The Disneyland Resort is filled with magic – including some that is hidden from guests.
Parkgoers can walk through almost any part of the theme park during their visit, from Sleeping Beauty’s Castle to “The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness,” but some areas have a “restricted to the public” spell cast over them.
Matterhorn Bobsleds
Rumor has it that there is a basketball court in the famed alpine adventure ride.
Walt Disney wanted the mountain to be a certain height, but the City of Anaheim had restrictions on a structure’s length unless it was a sports facility, according to Travel and Leisure.
To bend that rule, Disney decided to build a basketball court in the attic of the ride to comply with the city’s guidance while also having the height reach his expectations. The mountain is 147 feet tall, according to the Disneyland website.
The Disney Dream Suite/21 Royal
Designed initially for Walt and Lillian Disney, the exclusive 2-bedroom apartment above the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions is available to parties of 12 for $15,000.
Guests who reserve the suite will be escorted to the esteemed residence by cast members on the eve of their visit, according to the 21 Royal website.
According to Family Vacation Guide, the reservation will also include park admission, valet parking service, a butler, and a seven-course meal.
Lilly Belle Car
Walt Disney loved trains during his lifetime, so much so that he even had one in his backyard.
The Lilly Belle Car, named after his wife, Lillian, is a private car known to transport VIP guests around the park. The car received a little extra pixie dust since it’s decorated with “leather, velvet, mahogany, and glass, complete with armchairs and marble tables,” according to the Duchess of Disneyland.
This car is the last remaining from opening day.
A few guests may have the opportunity to ride in the historic train car if they get to the park at 7 a.m., which is an hour earlier than its scheduled opening at 8 a.m.
According to Disney Dose, the first 14 people in line at the Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station may ride in the famed cart. The train conductor will share if the Lily Belle Car is available for the day.
Disney used to offer a Grand Circle Tour that explained Walt Disney’s love of trains and concluded with a quick trip on the Lily Belle Car. However, that offering is temporarily unavailable, according to the Disneyland website.
Walt Disney’s Apartment
Anyone can see where Walt Disney’s apartment is, but only a few will be able to go inside It. The apartment, which is located right above the Disneyland Fire House station, can be identified by the lone lamplight shining through a window overlooking the park.
According to Cheat Sheet, the lucky few to visit inside the iconic apartment have said it’s tiny, measuring about 500 feet. The apartment doesn’t have a bedroom but only a kitchen, bathroom, family room, and a wooden desk, which Walt used to complete his work.
The apartment is also decorated to match the firehouse aesthetic and is decorated with antiques. The apartment balcony faces the Jungle Cruise ride.
The Disneyland Resort used to host the “Walk in Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps” guided tour, which included a visit to the apartment but has temporarily stopped offering it.

(The Hill) – President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan was abruptly updated on Thursday to exclude borrowers with privately held federal student loans, according to Education Department guidance.
As of Thursday, borrowers with federal student loans not held by the Education Department are no longer eligible to obtain one-time debt relief by consolidating those loans into Direct Loans, the guidance said.
The department said only borrowers in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program whose loans are held by the federal government are eligible. The FFEL program, which stopped issuing loans in 2010, was a student loan system that had private banks manage the loans but were guaranteed by the federal government.
Borrowers with privately-held FFEL Program loans and Perkins Loans who had applied to consolidate into the Direct Loan program before Thursday — when the administration abruptly updated its guidance — are still eligible for one-time debt relief through the Direct Loan program.
The Education Department also said it is “assessing whether there are alternative pathways to provide relief to borrowers with federal student loans not held by ED, including FFEL Program loans and Perkins Loans, and is discussing this with private lenders.”
Over 4 million student loan borrowers have privately-held FFEL loans, according to NPR.
Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is set to forgive $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers earning under $125,000 and $20,000 for borrowers who received Pell Grants.
Earlier this week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that the plan will cost about $400 billion. It also projected that 90 percent of income-eligible borrowers will apply for debt cancellation.
The White House pushed back on the report, saying it’s unlikely that 90 percent of eligible borrowers will take advantage of the program.
Biden’s plan also faced the first of its legal challenges this week.
Six Republican-led states filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the administration in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, arguing the proposal is unlawful because there is no statute from Congress authorizing the cancellation of student loan debt.
Earlier this week, public interest firm Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) filed a lawsuit against the administration, challenging it through a plaintiff who is currently paying off loans and would be subject to an expensive tax in the event of debt relief because he lives in Indiana, one of several states that considers debt cancellation taxable income.
The White House has cited the Heroes Act to justify the forgiveness program when pressed on how it will uphold in court against legal challenges.
The act allows the Education Department to waive or modify statutes or provisions related to student financial assistance programs during war or national emergencies, with the COVID-19 pandemic being a justification for debt cancellation.

(NEXSTAR) – Despite experiencing atrial fibrillation just a few days ago, and having his “heart shocked back into rhythm,” Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt says he’ll be playing in Sunday afternoon’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
In a Sunday morning tweet, the Wisconsin native said, “I went into A-Fib on Wednesday, had my heart shocked back into rhythm on Thursday and I’m playing today. That’s it.”
He noted that he had learned someone “leaked some personal information about me” and that the information was going to be reported Sunday.
Atrial fibrillation, otherwise known as AFib, is a heart arrhythmia that occurs when the heart beats too slow, too fast, or irregularly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can increase a person’s risk of having a stroke, and was determined to be the underlying cause of more than 26,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2019.
Watt missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. According to ESPN, the Cardinals listed his absence as the result of “calf/illness” on their injury report.
The 33-year-old was not feeling well Wednesday and visited a doctor, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported. When the doctor determined Watt’s heart wasn’t in rhythm, Watt underwent the shock treatment.
AFib can usually be treated with medications, blood thinners, surgery, and healthy lifestyle changes, the CDC explains.
Watt is in his second season with the Cardinals after spending 10 seasons with the Houston Texans. He and wife Kealia Ohai, a professional soccer player with the Chicago Red Stars, are expecting their first child.
