Senate Democrats, after weeks of negotiations to revive the core of their election-year agenda, passed a spending bill which would attempt to tackle climate change, the high cost of prescription drugs and lower the deficit by roughly $300 billion.
Late Saturday night and into Sunday morning, Senators voted on amendments to Democrats' major spending bill that tackles health care, climate and taxes.
The legislation was passed through the budget reconciliation process, which means all 50 Democrats and one tie-breaker vote from Vice President Harris were needed, since none of the 50 Republican senators voted for the bill. It also restricts the measures in the bill to those that directly change federal spending and revenue.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Saturday that despite a few cuts from the Senate parliamentarian, the bill overall is still a legislative win for Democrats.
"It's been a long, tough, winding road," Schumer said before the final vote Sunday.
Democrats have argued the measure will tackle voters' main economic concern, naming it the Inflation Reduction Act. Republicans argue the new spending will aggravate inflation. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says, though, the bill has a "negligible" effect on inflation in 2022 and into 2023.
Overall, the bill is a very scaled-down solution to what many Democrats, including President Biden, had asked for originally.
"This bill is far from perfect. It's a compromise. But it's often how progress is made," Biden said at the White House last month. "My message to Congress is this: This is the strongest bill you can pass."
After passage in the Senate, the House plans to take up the bill at the end of the week and then send it to President Biden for his signature.
Here's a look at some of what did get included in the Democrats' bill, and what didn't.
You can see the entire 755-page bill here.
Tackling climate change
More than $300 billion would be invested in energy and climate reform, the largest federal clean energy investment in U.S. history.
The bill has support from many environmental and climate activists but is short of the $555 billion that Democrats had originally called for.
This portion of the bill takes on transportation and electricity generation, and it includes $60 billion for growing renewable energy infrastructure in manufacturing like solar panels and wind turbines.
It also includes several tax credits for individuals on things like electric vehicles and making homes more energy efficient.
The bill would, according to Democrats, lower greenhouse gas emissions by 40%, based on 2005 levels, by the end of the decade, which is short of the 50% Biden had originally aimed for.
"It puts us within a close enough distance that further executive action, state and local government efforts and private sector leadership could plausibly get us across the finish line by 2030," said Jesse Jenkins from Princeton University, who leads the REPEAT Project analyzing the impact of government climate actions.
Lowering the cost of prescription drugs
On health reforms, the bill takes on making prescription drugs more affordable — but there are some limits.
The bill includes a historic measure that allows the federal health secretary to negotiate the prices of certain expensive drugs each year for Medicare.
But this won't impact every prescription drug or every patient, and it won't take effect quickly. The negotiations will take effect for 10 drugs covered by Medicare in 2026, increasing to 20 drugs in 2029.
The portion of the bill that tried to cap at $35 per month the price of insulin — a drug that is incredibly expensive in the U.S. compared to other countries — was ruled out of order by the Senate parliamentarian, putting it out of reach for now because it would need 60 votes to pass as regular legislation.
The parliamentarian also ruled that a measure that was in the bill to force drug companies to offer rebates if prescription prices outpaced inflation was not totally in line with the rules for budget reconciliation; she said that it could apply to Medicare patients but not those with private insurers.
The bill puts a cap of $2,000 on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for people on Medicare, effective in 2025.
There's also a three-year extension on healthcare subsidies in the Affordable Care Act originally passed in a pandemic relief bill last year, estimated by the government to have kept premiums at $10 per month or lower for the vast majority of people covered through the federal health insurance exchange.
That helps millions of Americans avoid spikes in their health care costs.
Tax reform
The legislation creates a 15% minimum tax for corporations making $1 billion or more in income, bringing in more than $300 billion in revenue.
A portion that got cut, though, is one that narrowed the carried interest tax loophole. Arizona Kyrsten Sinema agreed to sign onto the bill if this measure, which would have changed the way private equity income is taxed, was cut. Democrats said it would have brought in $14 billion in revenue.
Instead, a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks was introduced, and it could bring in roughly five times as much revenue as the carried interest measure. However, it wouldn't take effect until next year, raising predictions of a rush of buybacks by some companies before 2023 rolls around.
A major portion of the bill that isn't included, due to opposition from West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, is extended the Child Tax Credit. Manchin expressed last year that the cost to extend the credit was too high, but progressives, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, have continued to push for its inclusion in the bill.
Sanders planned to add it as an amendment to the legislation during the all-night voting process, even without the support he needs to pass it.

Updated August 7, 2022 at 4:12 PM ET
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip appeared headed toward a cease-fire Sunday night after Egyptian officials said both sides agreed to a truce to end a flare-up of violence that has killed dozens of Palestinians.
The cease-fire would end the worst fighting in Gaza since an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas last year. Since Friday night, the violence has killed 43 Palestinians, including 15 children and four women.
Egyptian officials said the truce was set to begin at 11:30 p.m. (2030 GMT; 4:30 p.m. EDT). An Egyptian intelligence official said both sides had agreed to the truce. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the cease-fire talks.
Israel confirmed the cease-fire was set to take hold, but said it would respond if it was violated.
Since Friday, Israeli aircraft have pummeled targets in Gaza, while the Iran-backed Palestinian Jihad militant group has fired hundreds of rockets at Israel in response. The risk of the cross-border fighting turning into a full-fledged war remained as long as no truce was reached. Israel says some of the dead were killed by misfired rockets.
Gaza's ruling Hamas group remained on the sidelines, possibly because it fears Israeli reprisals and undoing economic understandings with Israel, including Israeli work permits for thousands of Gaza residents, that bolster its control.
Israel launched its operation with a strike Friday on a leader of the Islamic Jihad, and followed up on Saturday with another targeted strike on a second prominent leader.
The second Islamic Jihad commander, Khaled Mansour, was killed in an airstrike on an apartment building in the Rafah refugee camp in southern Gaza late Saturday, which also killed two other militants and five civilians.
Mansour, the Islamic Jihad commander for southern Gaza, was in the apartment of a member of the group when the missile struck, flattening the three-story building and badly damaging nearby houses.
"Suddenly, without warning, the house next to us was bombed and everything became black and dusty with smoke in the blink of an eye," said Wissam Jouda, who lives next to the targeted building.
Ahmed al-Qaissi, another neighbor, said his wife and son were among the wounded, suffering shrapnel injuries. To make way for rescue workers, al-Qaissi agreed to have part of his house demolished.
As a funeral for Mansour began in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the Israeli military said it was striking suspected "Islamic Jihad rocket launch posts." Smoke could be seen from the strikes as thumps from their explosions rattled Gaza. Israeli airstrikes and rocket fire followed for hours as sirens wailed in central Israel. As the sunset call to prayer sounded in Gaza, sirens wailed as far north as Tel Aviv.
Israel says some of the deaths during this round were caused by errant rocket fire, including one incident in the Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza in which six Palestinians were killed Saturday. On Sunday, a projectile hit a home in the same area of Jebaliya, killing two men. Palestinians held Israel responsible, while Israel said it was investigating whether the area was struck by an errant rocket.
Israel's Defense Ministry said mortars fired from Gaza hit the Erez border crossing into Israel, used by thousands of Gazans daily. The mortars damaged the roof and shrapnel hit the hall's entrance, the ministry said. The crossing has been closed amid the fighting.
The Rafah strike was the deadliest so far in the current round of fighting, which was initiated by Israel on Friday with the targeted killing of Islamic Jihad's commander for northern Gaza.
Israel said it took action against the militant group because of concrete threats of an imminent attack, but has not provided details. Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who is an experienced diplomat but untested in overseeing a war, unleashed the offensive less than three months before a general election in which he is campaigning to keep the job.
In a statement Sunday, Lapid said the military would continue to strike targets in Gaza "in a pinpoint and responsible way in order to reduce to a minimum the harm to noncombatants." Lapid said the strike that killed Mansour was "an extraordinary achievement."
"The operation will continue as long as necessary," Lapid said.
Israel estimates its airstrikes killed about 15 militants.
Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas, and little is known about its arsenal. Both groups call for Israel's destruction, but have different priorities, with Hamas constrained by the demands of governing.
The Israeli army said militants in Gaza fired about 580 rockets toward Israel. The army said its air defenses had intercepted many of them, with two of those shot down being fired toward Jerusalem. Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas.
Air raid sirens sounded in the Jerusalem area for the first time Sunday since last year's Israel-Hamas war.
Jerusalem is typically a flashpoint during periods of cross-border fighting between Israel and Gaza. On Sunday, hundreds of Jews, including firebrand ultra-nationalist lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir, visited a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. The visit, under heavy police protection, ended without incident, police said.
Such demonstrative visits by Israeli hard-liners seeking to underscore Israeli claims of sovereignty over contested Jerusalem have sparked violence in the past. The holy site sits on the fault line of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is central to rival narratives of Palestinians and Israeli Jews.
In Palestinian cities and towns in the West Bank, Israeli security forces said they detained 19 people on suspicion of belonging to the Islamic Jihad during overnight raids.
By Sunday, Hamas still appeared to stay out of the battle. The group has a strong incentive to avoid another war. Last year's Israel-Hamas war, one of four major conflicts and several smaller battles over the last 15 years, exacted a staggering toll on the impoverished territory's 2.3 million Palestinian residents.
Since the last war, Israel and Hamas have reached tacit understandings based on trading calm for work permits and a slight easing of the border blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt when Hamas overran the territory 15 years ago. Israel has issued 12,000 work permits to Gaza laborers, and has held out the prospect of granting another 2,000 permits.
The lone power plant in Gaza ground to a halt at noon Saturday due to lack of fuel. Israel has kept its crossing points into Gaza closed since Tuesday. With the new disruption, Gazans can use only four hours of electricity a day, increasing their reliance on private generators and deepening the territory's chronic power crisis amid peak summer heat.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — A 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder after a dead body was found last week inside a van parked at a Southern California gas station, authorities said.
Donald Ratzlaff, 41, of Huntington Beach, was found shot to death inside a white van at an Arco station in Fountain Valley early on July 31, police said.
Investigators believe the shooting occurred at an apartment complex in nearby Westminster. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots and seeing a van leave the area a short time later, Westminster police Sgt. Eddie Esqueda said.
The suspect was arrested Wednesday at a Travelodge motel in Costa Mesa, Esqueda said. Police didn’t give a motive for the shooting or say how detectives tracked the suspect to the motel.
The Westminster resident was charged Friday with murder, including an enhancement for the personal use of a firearm, and for being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the Orange County Register.
He was held on $1 million bail and a court appearance was scheduled for Monday, the newspaper said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Over five decades in Washington, Joe Biden knew that the way to influence was to be in the room where it happens. But in the second year of his presidency, some of Biden’s most striking, legacy-defining legislative victories came about by staying out of it.
A summer lawmaking blitz has sent bipartisan bills addressing gun violence and boosting the nation’s high-tech manufacturing sector to Biden’s desk, and the president is now on the cusp of securing what he called the “final piece” of his economic agenda with the sudden resurrection of a Democrats-only climate and prescription drug deal. And in a counterintuitive turn for the president who has long promoted his decades of Capitol Hill experience, Biden’s aides chalk up his victories to the fact that he's been publicly playing the role of cheerleader rather than legislative quarterback.
“In a 50-50 Senate, it’s just true that when the White House takes ownership over a topic, it scares off a lot of Republicans,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. “I think all of this is purposeful. When you step back and let Congress lead, and then apply pressure and help at the right times, it can be a much more effective strategy to get things done.”
Democrats and the White House hope the run of legislative victories, both bipartisan and not, just four months before the November elections will help resuscitate their political fortunes by showing voters what they can accomplish with even the slimmest of majorities.
Biden opened 2022 with his legislative agenda at a standstill, poll numbers on the decline and a candid admission that he had made a “mistake” in how he carried himself in the role.
“The public doesn’t want me to be the ‘President-Senator,’” he said. “They want me to be the president and let senators be senators.”
Letting the senators be senators was no easy task for Biden, whose political and personal identities are rooted in his formative years spent in that chamber. He spent 36 years as a senator from Delaware, and eight more as the Senate’s president when he was valued for his Capitol Hill relationships and insights as Barack Obama’s vice president.
In the estimation of many of his aides and advisers, leaving the Senate behind was key to his subsequent success. The heightened expectations for Democrats, who hold precarious majorities in Congress but nonetheless have unified control of Washington, were dragging Biden down among his supporters who wanted more ambitious action.
In the spring of 2021, Biden made a big show of negotiating directly with Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., on an infrastructure bill, only to have the talks collapse. At the same time, a separate bipartisan group had been quietly meeting on its own, discussing how to overhaul the nation’s transportation, water and broadband systems. After the White House gave initial approval and then settled the final details with senators, that became the version that was shepherded into law.
The president next tried to strike a deal on a social spending and climate package with Sen. Joe Manchin, going as far as inviting the West Virginia lawmaker to his home in Wilmington, Delaware, until the conservative Democrat abruptly pulled the plug on the talks in a Fox News interview. Manchin would later pick up the negotiations again, this time with just Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the two would eventually reach an agreement that is now on the verge of Senate approval after more than a year of legislative wrangling.
In late 2021, White House aides persuaded the president to clam up about his conversations with the Hill, as part of a deliberate shift to move negotiations on his legislative agenda out of the public eye.
The new approach drew criticism from the press, but the White House wagered that the public was not invested in the details and would reward the outcomes.
Biden and his team “have been using the bully pulpit and closely working with Congress," said White House spokesman Andrew Bates. The aim is "to achieve what could soon be the most productive legislative record of any president" since Lyndon Johnson.
Some of the shift, White House aides said, also reflected the changing dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic, which kept Biden in Washington for most of 2021; his meetings with lawmakers amounted to one of the few ways to show he was working.
In time, Biden’s decision to embrace a facilitating role rather than being negotiator in chief — which had achieved mixed success — began to pay off: the first substantive gun restrictions in nearly three decades, a measure to boost domestic production of semiconductor computer chips, and care for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.
White House officials credit Biden’s emotional speech after the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, with helping to galvanize lawmakers to act on gun violence — and even his push for more extensive measures than made it into the bill with giving the GOP space to reach a compromise. And they point to a steady cadence of speeches over months emphasizing the need to lower prescription drug costs or to act on climate with keeping those issues in the national conversation amid the legislative fits and starts.
Lawmakers say that Biden removing himself directly from the negotiations empowered senators to reach consensus among themselves, without the distraction of a White House that may have repeatedly pushed for something that would be unattainable with Republicans or could be viewed as compromising by some Democrats.
On the semiconductor package that Biden plans to sign into law Tuesday, the administration organized classified briefings for lawmakers that emphasized how China is gaining influence in the computer chip sector and the national security implications. Republicans were regularly in touch with Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, one Biden Cabinet official who has developed warm relationships across the aisle.
“In his heart, Joe is a U.S. senator,” said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., the chief Democratic author of the burn pits legislation who also helped hash out the infrastructure law last year. “So he understands allowing this to work is how you get it done.”

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Anthony Claude “Buddy” Leach Jr., who spent a term in the U.S. House and ran the budget committee in the Louisiana House before leading the state Democratic party, has died. He was 88.
Leach died Saturday, according to a statement by Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards that did not include a cause of death.
Leach was elected to the Louisiana House three times starting in 1968 before winning a term in 1978 in the U.S. House from the state's 4th District along the state line with Texas. The Democrat lost his reelection bid in 1980 to Buddy Roemer, who was at the time a Democrat also.
Leach would return for one term in the Louisiana House in 1983, serving as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
Leach unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2003 and state treasurer in 1987. His last public role was two years as chairman of the Louisiana Democratic Party starting in 2010.
Leach was born in 1934 in Vernon Parish and served in the U.S. Army from 1956 to 1959.
Edwards said Leach was a strong leader with a big heart who generously supported his wife's Louisiana First Foundation to help children.
“Buddy Leach dedicated his life to serving our great state. From the Louisiana Legislature to Congress to his many civic contributions, Buddy worked to make life better for all Louisianans,” Edwards said in a statement. “When I decided to run for governor, he was one of the first people to encourage me.”

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Cara Mund, a former Miss America who gained attention by criticizing the organization near the end of her reign in 2018, plans to run for Congress in North Dakota as an independent.
Mund announced her candidacy Saturday and said she would start gathering the 1,000 signatures she needs to get on the ballot, the Bismarck Tribune reported.
If Mund gathers enough signatures, in November she will face Republican U.S. Rep. Kelly Armstrong, who is seeking a second term, and Democrat Mark Haugen of Bismarck, a University of Mary graduate adviser who has long worked as a paramedic.
“I am so proud to be a North Dakotan,” Mund said in a statement. “It would be an honor and a privilege to represent the people of our state in Congress. I am ready to get to work and look forward to putting North Dakotans first.”
Mund said in 2018 that she had been bullied and silenced by leaders within the Miss America organization. The head of the organization's board later resigned.
Mund has said that her time as Miss America inspired her to be involved in public service. She graduated from Harvard Law School earlier this year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Larry Wallace, who led the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation from 1992 to 2003, has died.
The bureau confirmed his death Saturday in a tweet, saying the agency continues to benefit from his 11 years of leadership.
Current TBI Director David Rausch told WTVF-TV that he remembered Wallace as a man of integrity who worked to professionalize the state’s criminal investigative agency.
“He wanted to surround himself with people that understood the importance of being honest and hardworking, and I see that in the Bureau today,” Rausch told the station.
Before his time with the bureau, Wallace served as leader of the Tennessee Highway Patrol from 1987 to 1992.
Current Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Matt Perry said in a Facebook post that Wallace was a good leader who loved serving the state.
“Colonel Wallace set the standard for leadership,” he said.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A 20-year-old killer whale that was at SeaWorld San Diego since birth has died following treatment for an infection, park officials said.
Despite efforts to treat the unspecified infection, the orca, Nakai, died Thursday, SeaWorld San Diego said in a statement.
“Every attempt was made to save (Nakai’s) life,” the statement said. “Veterinarians and health specialists had been actively treating an infection, but aggressive therapeutic and diagnostic efforts were unsuccessful.”
Nakai’s death leaves SeaWorld with eight remaining killer whales, ranging in age from 9 to 57, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The marine park is unable to expand its orca population after instituting a breeding ban in 2016, following years of pressure from animal rights protests and shifting public opinion about orcas held in captivity, the newspaper said.
SeaWorld's statement said Nakai will “be remembered as a curious and quick learner, often picking up behaviors just by observing the other whales in his pod.”
Nakai, who was born in September 2001, is the park’s second orca to die in the past year. Amaya, a 6-year-old female, died Aug. 20, 2021. Before that, the most recent death was that of Kasatka, a 42-year-old female who died from a lung disease in August 2017.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Triston McKenzie held Houston to two hits and struck out eight in eight innings, Luke Maile homered for the first time in three years and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Houston Astros 1-0 on Sunday.
McKenzie (8-8) retired 15 straight hitters before pinch-hitter Kyle Tucker walked with one out in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Jose Altuve then bounced into an inning-ending double play, and McKenzie let out a yell and pounded his right hand into his glove as he headed to dugout behind a loud ovation from 22,688 fans.
McKenzie walked one and threw 91 pitches. He struck out Alex Bregman to begin the second, but Trey Mancini and Chas McCormick followed with one-out singles to put runners at first and second. McKenzie struck out Mauricio Dubón and Jake Meyers to end the inning.
The 25-year-old right-hander was 3-1 with a 1.34 ERA in July, but had allowed a three-run homer in each of his last two starts — both losses.
Maile’s fifth-inning home run off Christian Javier landed on the home run porch in left field for his first homer since May 20, 2019.
Emmanuel Clase struck out two of the three hitters he faced in the ninth for his 24th save in 26 opportunities.
The win gave Cleveland a split of the four-game series against the AL West leaders. Houston won the first two games of the series by a combined score of 15-3 and is an AL-best 36-23 on the road. Javier (6-8) is 0-5 over his last six starts. The right-hander gave up six hits, struck out four and didn't walk a batter over six innings.
BAKER UPDATE
Bench coach Joe Espada spoke on the phone Sunday morning with Astros manager Dusty Baker, who was out for the series after testing positive for COVID-19 on Friday.
“He’s in good spirits,” Espada said. “He’s feeling a lot better. Hopefully he gets to travel back to Houston sometime this week.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: Altuve and 1B Yuli Gurriel were out of the starting lineup. Houston is off Monday. Mancini started at first while Díaz played second.
Guardians: OF Steven Kwan returned after not playing Saturday and being pulled from Friday’s game after fouling a ball off his leg. Kwan was 0 for 2 on Friday, ending his 18-game hitting streak. The rookie singled in the third and fifth Sunday.
UP NEXT
Astros: Houston opens a three-game home series against Texas on Tuesday night. RHP José Urquidy (10-4, 3.82) is the scheduled starter.
Guardians: RHP Shane Bieber (6-6, 3.39 ERA) is scheduled to start in the opener of a three-game series in Detroit on Tuesday.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The University of Michigan promoted Brandon Naurato to interim hockey coach for one season on Sunday, two days after cutting ties with coach Mel Pearson following an investigation into the men's program.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Brandon Naurato’s caliber to lead our ice hockey team for the upcoming year,” athletic director Warde Manuel said.
An investigation that was given to the school in May and obtained by MLive and other news outlets revealed in part that Pearson pressured student-athletes to lie about COVID-19 contact tracing during the 2020-21 season.
Pearson’s contract expired after last season and he had been an at-will employee, pending a review of the program. He was 99-64-16 at Michigan over five seasons.
Naurato was on Pearson's staff last season after he was a player development consultant with the Detroit Red Wings for three seasons. He played for the Wolverines from 2006-09 and played minor league hockey for four years.

CHICAGO (AP) — Candace Parker scored 18 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and tipped a pass to Emma Meesseman for a 3-pointer in the closing seconds to help the Chicago Sky beat the Connecticut Sun 94-91 Sunday to set the franchise record for wins in a season.
Courtney Vandersloot had 20 points, five assists and four steals for Chicago (25-8). Meesseman and Allie Quigley added 15 points apiece and Kahleah Copper scored 11.
Alyssa Thomas made a driving layup with 4:37 left in the third quarter to give the Sun — who trailed by as many as 17 points in the first half — their first lead at 58-56 and Odyssey Sims capped a 10-0 run with a driving layup that gave Connecticut a 75-69 lead early in the fourth. Vandersloot made two 3-pointers as the Sky scored 15 of the next 19 points before DeWanna Bonner converted a four-point play and then found Thomas for a layup to make it 89-all with 43.6 seconds to go but Parker, in the post, tipped a touch-pass out to Meesseman for a wide-open 3-pointer to make it 92-89 with 28.0 seconds remaining and the Sky led the rest of the way.
Bonner, who scored eight points and had three assists in the final 2:41, missed a deep potential winning 3 at the buzzer. She finished with 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting and six assists.
Jonquel Jones had 17 points and 10 rebounds for Connecticut (22-11) and Thomas added 16 points and eight boards. Sims scored 13 points, Courtney Williams had 12 and Brionna Jones added 10.
Connecticut was missing head coach Curt Miller who was spending time with his family after his mom Bev died earlier this week.

High school sports practices are starting amid a brutally hot summer in much of the country. As temperatures rise, heat illnesses are becoming an increasing risk for athletes, particularly in the first few weeks of practice.
We asked Susan Yeargin, a co-author of the National Athletic Trainers Association’s position statement on heat illness, to explain the risks and what coaches and players need to remember to keep kids safe.
Why are athletes particularly vulnerable to heat during the first few weeks of training?
When an athlete of any age begins to exercise or train for a sport in hot conditions, the body needs time to adapt. In a natural outdoor environment, this is called heat acclimatization.
In the first three days of heat exposure, the body hasn’t started to adapt, which is why those are the riskiest days for heat illness. Most acclimatization happens by the 10th day, but it takes about two weeks for the body to reach its peak heat acclimatization.
The most important change within the body is plasma volume expansion, giving the body more blood to help dissipate heat and supply exercising muscles. In short, it allows the cardiovascular system to work more efficiently.
The rate of sweating also increases, allowing more heat to dissipate from the body. The body increases its retention of salt, which is good because it allows for better electrolyte balance within the body to maintain hydration and keep muscles working optimally. The heart rate decreases, so there is less strain on the cardiovascular system. And the core body temperature decreases, representing a lower risk for exertional heat stroke.
But even with all of these adaptations, the body isn’t fully protected from heat illness, which is why other prevention strategies are needed.
Also, just because athletes have been training over the summer doesn’t mean they are fully adapted to heat under the conditions that a sport season imposes. The sports season brings new exercise intensity, often higher heat than earlier in the summer, and heavier equipment, like pads and helmets, and an increased pressure to perform.
At what point do temperatures start getting dangerous for young athletes?
That varies across the country. Athletes who live in milder climates should not be practicing in environmental conditions over 86.2 degrees Fahrenheit, based on wet bulb globe temperature. For those in traditionally hotter climates, like Texas, the recommended cutoff temperature for canceling practice is 92.
The risk is about more than the temperature – it’s also about humidity, sun and wind. Humidity hinders sweat evaporation, the body’s primary heat dissipation mechanism. So when humidity is high, no matter the air temperature, that creates a heat safety concern.
Athletic trainers often use wet bulb globe temperature – which takes all four of those variables into account – to determine when teams should shorten or cancel practice and how often rest and cooling breaks should be required. It’s a better gauge of risk than the heat index, which uses only air temperature and humidity.
Anyone can check their area’s projected wet bulb globe temperature using a National Weather Service website.
How can you tell when someone is suffering from heat illness?
There are several conditions that fall within the realm of “heat illnesses,” but these are the primary ones:
Heat cramps, also referred to as exercise-associated muscle cramps, are caused either by dehydration and electrolyte losses or tired muscle groups. They’re easy to spot when a muscle group tightens and knots. Heat cramps can typically be treated with rest, stretching and hydration with electrolytes. If someone is complaining of cramps but the muscles are not knotted and tight to the touch, then that person could be experiencing an emergency condition related to sickle cell trait called exertional sickling.
Heat exhaustion can occur when a person is dehydrated and exercising in warm conditions. Eventually, the body is unable send enough blood to both the working muscles and the skin for heat dissipation. It will prioritize the heat dissipation, and the person either collapses or can’t continue exercising. This should be treated by placing the person in shade or air conditioning, giving them something to drink, and cooling them with fans or cold towels. If they don’t respond quickly, they may need medical attention.
Exertional heat stroke is a medical emergency in which a person’s body temperature is over 105 degrees. Unfortunately, traditional temperature devices like oral and forehead thermometers don’t measure body temperature accurately in these situations. If a person has been exercising in warm conditions and their personality changes, they start acting weird or different or become confused, you should suspect exertional heat stroke.
First responders should place the heat stroke victim in a cold water immersion tub up to their shoulders and make the water as cold as possible with ice. If that’s not available, any kind of water immersion like a baby pool, creek, tarp filled with water, or dousing should be used. EMS should be called immediately.
An important clue in all of these heat illnesses is that the person is almost always sweating. It is a myth that the person will stop sweating; this rarely happens.
What do athletic trainers recommend for keeping athletes safe in the heat, particularly in those first weeks?
Teams should follow heat acclimatization guidance to gradually increase the length of training sessions and the intensity of workouts.
For example, an expert group that reviewed research on youth sports recommended always keeping training or practice sessions under two hours and only once a day in the first week. Conditioning, such as repetitive running and timed drills, should be held in an air-conditioned area or not integrated for the first two weeks.
In addition, teams should pay attention to wet bulb globe temperature tables for their part of the country and avoid exercising in the hottest part of the day, generally 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The National Athletic Trainers Association also recommends: using “weight charts” to help players understand how much they need to drink to stay hydrated; having on-site athletic trainers with treatment resources, such as cold-water tubs; encouraging good sleep and nutrition; and providing a safe work-to-rest ratio during conditioning and practice sessions.
Breaks should be in the shade, ideally with cooling devices such as fans, misters and cold towels. If a hard or intense drill is completed, players should have an equally long break.
A buddy system is also beneficial. With a buddy, someone is more likely to notice when an athlete isn’t feeling well or is starting to act out of character and needs to be stopped for evaluation.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Saturday she will send additional state police to Albuquerque after the fourth murder of a Muslim man in the city in recent months, ABC News reported.
"I am angered and saddened that this is happening in New Mexico, a place that prides itself on diversity of culture and thought. This is not who we are," said Lujan Grisham in a press statement.
The governor's office said additional state police will be on patrol in the city and they are working in close coordination with the Albuquerque Police Department and the FBI to provide necessary support.
"We will not stop in our pursuit of justice for the victims and their families and are bringing every resource to bear to apprehend the killer or killers - and we WILL find them," the governor said. "In addition, we will continue to do everything we can to support to the Muslim community during this difficult time."
The Albuquerque Police Department did not identify the man killed Friday night. The man, believed to be in his 20s, is Muslim and a native of South Asia, they said.
Police are investigating whether the killing is connected to the Monday shooting death of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain as well as the murder of Aftab Hussein on July 26 and Mohammad Ahmadi in November 2021.
Police on Thursday said they determined a connection between the shooting deaths of Hussain, 27, and Hussein, 41 -- both from Pakistan. Ahmadi, 62, was a Muslim man from Afghanistan who was killed outside a business he ran with his brother, police say.
"We've never gone through anything like this before," Ahmad Assed, president of the Islamic Center of New Mexico, said at a press conference Saturday, according to ABC affiliate KOAT in Albuquerque. "This is really a surreal time for us. We're in fear of the safety of our children, our families."

More human remains have been found in the receding waters of Lake Mead, authorities announced Saturday.
This is the fourth time human remains have been found at Lake Mead National Recreation Area since May.
In the latest incident, park rangers got a call Saturday morning about skeletal remains at Swim Beach area, National Park Service officials said in a statement.
Rangers set up a perimeter at the beach to recover the remains with help from divers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, according to the Park Service. A coroner was also called to determine the cause of death.
At least three different sets have previously been found at the lake, where water levels have plunged to unprecedented lows amid an unrelenting water crisis in the West.
The previous remains discovered, including a body that was found in a corroding barrel with a gunshot wound, were in advanced stages of decomposition and thus difficult to extract DNA from, officials said.
It's unclear how long the latest remains found have been in the lake. The homicide division of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police is not currently handling the investigation, Lt. Jason Johansson told CNN.
The police department is, however, leading the investigation into a different body, one found in the barrel on the lake's Hemenway Harbor on May 1. The body had an obvious gunshot wound and investigators immediately treated it as a homicide investigation, Johansson previously told CNN.
"Anytime you have a body in a barrel, clearly there was somebody else involved," he said.
Since then, Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse has preliminarily ruled the cause and manner of death a homicide by gunshot. The remains, dubbed Hemenway Harbor Doe by the coroner's office, belonged to someone who died in the mid-'70s to early '80s, according to police.
A second set of remains -- found on May 7 at Calville Bay -- are believed to belong to someone who was approximately between ages 23 and 37, according to Rouse.
It's unclear how that person died. The Calville Bay remains are more skeletal than the other two sets, which both still have organ tissue available for examination, Rouse said.
A third set of remains -- found at the lake's Swim Beach on July 25 -- are only partial and are still at early stages of examination, according to Rouse.
The lake straddles the border of Nevada and Arizona.
While the grim discoveries in the shrinking lake quickly generated theories of mob involvement, Johansson said those ideas are "mere speculation" at this point in the investigation.
A National Park Service spokesperson told CNN one possible explanation for the remains could be that they belong to people who previously drowned at the lake when water levels used to be high.
At its height in '80s, Lake Mead -- the largest manmade reservoir in the country -- was 1,225 feet above sea level. But as the mega-drought persists, water levels have plunged this year to the lowest level since the reservoir was filled in the 1930s.
Lake Mead was filled to just 27% of capacity as of July 18, 2022, according to NASA.
Water levels have plummeted so much that, in addition to several bodies, they have exposed a sunken World War II-era vessel, the Park Service announced in early July.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Six people were injured Sunday afternoon when a large tree fell on a group having a class reunion party in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park.
According to police, the incident happened at about 12:20 p.m. in the 5300 block of N. Georges Hill Drive.
The six people who were injured are between 66 and 67 years old, police said. The group was celebrating a reunion for the West Philadelphia High School class of 1972.
"Every man ran across this park to go pick up heavy tree branches together to get them off the classmates," said Florence Hagains, of West Philadelphia.
While people worked to pull heavy branches off those who were stuck, police arrived to the scene within minutes.
The victims were taken to area hospitals where they were being treated for their injuries. All six were listed in stable condition.
"We just praying for them and going to try and keep it going, this is something that's annual," Hagains said.
Alumni come together for the annual tradition to give back to current students and athletes at the school.
"We came together 15 years ago to try and improve quality of life for students at West Philadelphia High School," said Michael Brown, president of the West Philadelphia High School Alumni Association.
Brown said he will press the city to inspect or remove all the dead trees at the park because they'll be back next August.

Amazon Prime Video continues to roll out a mix of movies for its ongoing summer slate. In the peak month of the season, viewers will be able to access some major recent releases like Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza” starring the Haim sisters as well as “The Lost City,” which is loaded with stars like Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe and Brad Pitt.
Those looking for older classic films won’t be disappointed either as Meryl Streep-studded “The Devil Wears Prada,” and “Mamma Mia! ”will also head to the streamer (with the musical gracing Freevee’s catalog). Nicholas Cage’s “Face/Off” and the late James Caan’s “Thief” arrive August 1 along with “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,” which stars the late Paul Sorvino’s daughter Mira. Don’t count out “Grey’s Anatomy” alums Sandra Oh and Kate Walsh in “Under the Tuscan Sun” either.
For those who like true story films, Ron Howard’s “Thirteen Lives” — arriving August 5 — recounts the events that led to a Thai soccer team and their coach getting trapped in a cave and the miraculous rescue that ensued.
Here are the 7 best new movies coming to Amazon Prime Video in August:
“Thirteen Lives” (2022)
Based on the true story, “Thirteen Lives” will further spotlight how twelve Thai boys and their coach got stuck in the Tham Luang cave when a rainstorm floods the tunnel system and traps them inside a mountain. Directed by Academy-Award winner Ron Howard, the film promises suspense as a team of skilled divers find the boys alive behind the maze of waterlogged tunnels, only to realize that getting them out of there will be even more difficult. Colin Farrell, Viggo Mortensen and Joel Edgerton star as the team of divers — John Volanthen, Rick Stanto and Harry Harris — who plan the navigation of the complicated caves to find all thirteen bodies alive.
“Thirteen Lives” is also playing in select theaters.
“Before Midnight” (2013)
The final chapter in Richard Linklater’s intensely beloved “Before” trilogy unfolds 20 years after the fateful train ride that brought Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) together. “Before Midnight” finds the couple summering in Greece, their twin daughters in tow. On the last night of their vacation, they take stock of their relationship now that the sheen of its honeymoon years has worn off. Luckily, the same cannot be said of the film itself. Hawke, Delpy, and Linklater’s Oscar-nominated screenplay matches the formers’ electric-as-ever chemistry with the profound dialogue that made the first two films instant classics. Like its predecessors, “Before Midnight” takes place over the course of a single day. As the sun rises and falls, the Peloponnesian coast offers the perfect backdrop for two lovers gazing upon their twilight years.
“The Devil Wears Prada” (2006)
“The Devil Wears Prada” (2006) will never go out of style, especially since it stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Andy Sachs (Hathaway) lands the job of a lifetime with Miranda Priestly (Streep), the intimidating and highly demanding editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. Andy, who dreams of becoming a journalist, is hired as Miranda’s second assistant. Emily (Blunt) advises Andy as Miranda’s first assistant. Stanley Tucci plays Nigel, who comforts Andy and helps her improve her wardrobe for her high-stakes environment. The moral of the story involves Andy choosing between her career ambition and the life she has built before changing herself at Miranda’s bidding, much to the disappointment of her boyfriend Nate (Adrian Grenier) and friends and family.
“Thief” (1981)
While our dearly departed James Caan’s most well-known role was undoubtedly “The Godfather,” his best performance was unquestionably in Michael Mann’s “Thief.” In “Thief” Caan plays Frank, a career criminal whose new relationship (with Tuesday Weld) makes him reconsider his life of crime. (The movie is based in part on a memoir called “The Home Invaders: Confessions of a Cat Burglar” by Frank Hohimer, released six years earlier.) Surrounded by wonderful tough guy character actors like Dennis Farina, James Belushi and Robert Prosky (plus a wonderful supporting turn by Willie Nelson), Caan fully inhabits the role; the way he walks and carries himself even suggests his chosen profession, the danger he purposefully puts himself in and the anxiety that starts to creep in on his life as he tries desperately to escape. With gorgeous cinematography by Donald Thorin and a dreamy synth score from German electronic band Tangerine Dream, it was seen initially as something of a disappointment (at least financially) but has blossomed into a true cult favorite. It also established Mann as the premiere chronicler of the American criminal underbelly (“Thief” was his first film!), something that he would reiterate thanks to later masterpieces like “Heat” and “Collateral.”
“Licorice Pizza” (2021)
With its sun-drenched SoCal setting and episodic feel, “Licorice Pizza” was practically made to watch on a summer night. Paul Thomas Anderson’s ninth feature takes place in an early-1970s San Fernando Valley and revolves around enterprising teenager Gary (Cooper Hoffman) and his twenty-something crush, Alana (Alana Haim). Their on-again, off-again friendship collides with characters played by Bradley Cooper, Maya Rudolph, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Benny Safdie and more. Not to mention Haim’s actual family, including sister-bandmates Este and Danielle. Buoyed by Alana and Gary’s high-spirited shenanigans, “Licorice Pizza” meanders as much as it zips along. Haim and Hoffman both shine bright, and they’re never better than when they share the screen. Nostalgists will appreciate set designer Florencia Martin’s recreations of real locations, and there’s plenty of Valley trivia embedded throughout the film. Best of all, the production spared no expense on its soundtrack, which features the likes of Paul McCartney and Wings, David Bowie, Sonny & Cher and The Doors.
“The Lost City” (2022)
Loretta (Sandra Bullock), a very successful romance action novelist, is set to promote her latest book, when she realizes she feels like she has plateaued in life. Enter Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), who kidnaps her to use her novel to actually find The Lost City, where he is convinced there is treasure hiding. Loretta’s book cover model Alan (Channing Tatum), who poses for her character Dash, takes her words that he is just a model seriously and sets out to rescue her to prove that he actually embodies traits of the fictional man he represents. Dash’s abilities to save Loretta prove questionable at best, but not to worry because actual action hero Jack Trainer (Brad Pitt) arrives to save the day. Other cast members include Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Beth Hatten, Oscar Nuñez as Oscar, Patti Harrison as Allison and Bowen Yang as Ray the Moderator.
“The Lost City” arrives August 10 on Prime Video.
“Mamma Mia!” (2008)
Streep strikes again, along with “The Dropout” star Amanda Seyfried. This classic musical journey follows Sophie (Seyfried) as she delves into her mother Donna’s (Streep) journal to try and discover who her father is. Donna and Sophie live in Greece, and Sophie’s motivation to find her real father is partly due to her impending wedding day. According to Donna’s journal (where an ellipses means she sleeps with someone), three men could potentially have sired Sophie — Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Bill (Stellan Skarsgård), or Harry (Colin Firth). The best part is the ABBA soundtrack.
“Mamma Mia!” will be available on Freevee starting August 1.

Sony/Columbia’s “Bullet Train” kicked off the traditionally slow August box office with a $30.1 million opening weekend from 4,375 theaters. While that is the second-highest opening for an R-rated movie this year, it now faces a long road to turn a profit against its reported $90 million production budget before marketing costs.
While critics reviews have been mixed, audience reception has been more positive with a 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 63% recommend rating on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak. Sony anticipates that the film will gain buzz among adults, particularly Gen X men, as a “Deadpool”-esque gory action comedy and leg out with no direct competition coming up this month.
“Bullet Train” is also getting some support from overseas markets, making $32.4 million from 57 territories for a global opening of $62.5 million. The film is tracking similarly to the 2015 R-rated action film “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” which grossed $128 million domestic and $414 million worldwide against an $81 million budget.
Also opening this weekend was Universal/DreamWorks’ “Easter Sunday,” a comedy starring Jo Koy that took in $5.25 million from 3,175 theaters, meeting projections for a $5-7 million opening. Audience metrics for the film have been slightly lower with a 70% Rotten Tomatoes score and 49% recommend rating on PostTrak, with 54% of the audience being female. “Easter Sunday” has a lower bar to clear for profitability with a $17 million production budget.
Elsewhere on the charts, Warner Bros.’ “DC League of Super-Pets” has taken a 51% drop from its $23 million opening weekend, grossing $11.2 million in its second frame. With a 10-day domestic total of $45.1 million, “Super-Pets” is keeping pace with the April animated release “The Bad Guys,” though this $90 million production still has yet to turn a profit with a global total of $83.4 million.
In third is Universal’s “Nope” with $8.5 million in its third weekend, putting it on course to cross $100 million domestic early this week. Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder” added $7.6 million in its fifth weekend and will cross $700 million worldwide on Monday with $316 million grossed in North America. Universal/Illumination’s “Minions: The Rise of Gru” completes the top 5 with $7.1 million in its sixth weekend, putting it past $750 million worldwide with $334.5 million domestic.
In limited release, A24 released the slasher film “Bodies Bodies Bodies” on six screens in New York and Los Angeles, grossing $226,526 for a strong per theater average of $37,754. That’s a higher figure than A24’s last six-screen limited release, “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On,” which recorded a $26,567 average. Starring Pete Davidson, Amandla Stenberg and Maria Bakalova, the film will expand nationwide to 1,200 theaters next weekend.
Finally, Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick” fell out of the top 5 after holding on for ten weekends, just being edged out of the No. 5 spot with $7 million grossed. But that’s still enough to pass the lifetime domestic total of James Cameron’s “Titanic” and take the No. 7 spot on the all-time domestic charts while raising its global total to $1.35 billion.

CNN’s Dana Bash called out Sen. Lindsey Graham Sunday on his hypocrisy, having recently cheered on Donald Trump’s reelection ambition even though the South Carolina Republican made an impassioned speech in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, saying “count me out” of supporting Trump.
“Why now do you think Trump has the character to be president again?” Bash asked Graham, who has expressed that he supports the former president’s 2024 run rather than speculated Republican nominee Ron DeSantis, on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I think he was a consequential president,” Graham told Bash. “If you compare his policies to what’s going on today, I think he’s got a hell of a story to say.”
The clip showcased an earnest speech from Graham recorded late the night of Jan. 6, 2021 on the Senate floor.
“Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey,” the senator said in response to the riots. “I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president, but today, first thing you’ll see. All I can say is count me out. Enough is enough.”
Graham clarified to Bash that his disapproval was surrounding Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, a claim that the Republican senator does not believe and suggested that Trump leave that notion in the past if he wants to run in 2024.
“If he runs for president, talking about 2020 is not what people want to hear. He likes hearing it, but people want to hear about, how can you secure a broken border…?” he said.
Bash grilled Graham on if his message was, “Donald Trump, please stop saying the 2020 election was stolen.”
“I’m telling President Trump, if you wanna be president in 2024, focus on solving the problems Americans are living with,” Graham replied.

Dwayne Johnson has been very busy promoting his pair of DC superhero blockbusters “DC League of Super-Pets” and “Black Adam,” so it was probably inevitable that the two films would cross paths. And The Rock shared that special moment with his fans on social media.
On Sunday, Johnson released the post-credits scene from “DC League of Super-Pets” on social media (which you can watch below), in which Superman and Krypto meet Black Adam and his own super-pet, Anubis. And yes, Johnson voices Krypto, Black Adam, and Anubis in this scene, with the jackal explaining that his owner is an antihero.
“It’s basically like a hero, except way cooler,” Anubis says. “You make your own rules and then you break ‘em. Also, you can ignore most moral and ethical conventions because no one can stop you.”
“That sounds like a villain,” deadpans Krypto.
The trailers for “Black Adam” have leaned hard into that antihero status, with taglines like “The world needed a hero. It got Black Adam” and dialogue emphasizing that, unlike Superman or Batman, Adam’s more than willing to put bad guys in the grave to get the job done.
Which, of course, is ripe fodder for lighter DC films like “Super-Pets” to make fun of. In the past, films like “The Lego Batman Movie” and “Teen Titans Go to the Movies” have made plenty of jokes about comic book fans’ appetite for dark and gritty superhero tales and the films made to sate that hunger, whether it is Lego Batman committed to only feeling rage or “Teen Titans Go” lampooning the infamous “Martha” scene from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
“DC League of Super-Pets” is now playing in theaters, with “Black Adam” heading for the big screen on Oct. 21.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Netflix’s “The Sandman,” Episode 4 “A Hope in Hell”
Throughout much of Netflix’s series adaptation of “The Sandman,” the show argues that nightmares, and the fear and immorality that haunt them, are more common and representative of humanity than anything else. Yet in the show’s fourth episode, “A Hope in Hell,” a counterargument that encapsulates “Sandman’s” central theme is delivered in ambitiously creative fashion.
Our hero Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) is locked into an epic metaphysical and idealogical duel with Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie), where each one takes on a new form be it beast (wolf, serpent, bird of prey), man (hunter), biological killers (bacterium), or even celestial powers (life-nurturing worlds and planet-killing novas).
But with Morpheus on the verge of losing this fight, his raven Matthew (Patton Oswalt) bluntly tells him that “Dreams don’t f—ing die, not if you believe in them.” This inspires our protagonist to fight back with one last transformative punch: “I am hope…What is it that kills hope?” he challenges.
This victory-cinching realization serves as a thesis statement for “The Sandman.” The hopes that power our dreams are what give us the ability to overcome the darkness. So in that spirit, we asked many of the show’s stars what their character’s greatest hope may be.
Morpheus/Dream (Sturridge)
Sturridge connected his character’s deepest desire with the function he serves for the waking world as the keeper of dreams and nightmares.
“I think that what Morpheus wants more than anything is stability,” Sturridge told TheWrap. “I think that the point of our unconsciousness is that it is inherently unstable and that’s why dreams and nightmares are so dangerous, because they affect our conscious lives. Dreams are a form of madness because they are all of the things that we’ve suppressed while we’re awake coming to fruition. And Morpheus’ primary responsibility, his dream, is to keep everyone safe. And that requires a stability inside those dreams and a stability inside our minds and souls.
He continued: “One of the things that this season explores is with the arrival of…Well, I won’t say anything. But it is what happens when that unconscious world becomes incredibly unstable and the catastrophic potential consequences.”
Lucienne (Vivienne Acheampong)
Acheampong’s Lucienne is Dream’s loyal lieutenant whose faith in him rarely wavers. In many ways, she’s his ethical North star and able to externalize some of the doubts, fears, and even ambitions he may keep hidden.
“For Lucienne, she wants all of that [stability]. But what she wants personally for Morpheus is for him to be able to do that in a safe way for him to maintain himself and who she knows he really is,” Acheampong told TheWrap. “Because he’s been captured for a century in a really inhumane way and has seen the worst aspects of humanity, and that has affected him. So I think she’s there to remind him not only to follow the rules and regulations, but to not lose himself within that because he’s had this horrific experience that would change anyone.”
Here’s What’s New on Netflix in August 2022
Johanna Constantine (Jenna Coleman)
Coleman’s Constantine, much like her trouble-making comics counterpart John Constantine, is a magic-wielding firecracker. Though Coleman believes her character’s life will always be filled with excitement, there may also be a yearning for tranquil normality underneath it all.
“I’m going to say peace. I feel like there’s a heaviness and a weariness and a disenchantment there. So I think there’s a yearning for peace, which is obviously what Dream gives Johanna Constantine at the end,” Coleman told TheWrap. “Then, on the other hand, I think Johanna Constantine would get bored pretty quickly. She needs a bit of, I think, naughtiness and a bit of adventure and trickery.”
Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste)
Howell-Baptiste’s Death is a kindly guide to the afterlife, which conflicts with humanity’s shared perception of the Grim Reaper avatar. The character realizes that her function and purpose are one in the same, which gives her a sense of inner-peace as she tries to gently usher souls into the next phase of existence.
“I think that my character most hopes for a world where death is understood as a part of life,” Howell-Baptiste told TheWrap. “That shouldn’t generate fear, but hopefully it will generate not just acceptance, but perhaps a curiosity and an intrigue into what comes after, because literally none of us know.”
Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie)
Christie summed up her character’s inner most desires with one succinct thought: “I think Lucifer most craves God’s love.”

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters is fightin’ mad about America’s stance in world politics, going as far as accusing President Biden of being a “war criminal” who is “fueling the fire in Ukraine.”
Waters struck a decidedly political tone to his current “This Is Not a Drill” tour, flashing the following message to his fans filling the audience: “If you’re one of those ‘I love Pink Floyd but I can’t stand Roger’s politics’ people, you might do well to f— off to the bar right now.”
What followed was a montage of those he deemed “war criminals,” and President Joe Biden was among them.
CNN’s Michael Smerconish sat down with Waters and questioned him about his decision to include Biden.
“Joe Biden is fueling the fire in Ukraine for a start. That’s a huge crime,” a fired-up Water said. “Why won’t the United States of America encourage [Ukraine President Volodymyr] Zelensky to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war?”
Smerconish pointed out the obvious, that Russia was the aggressor and Ukraine was the agressee. “You’re blaming the party that got invaded. You’ve got this reversed,” the journalist answered.
But Waters held his ground and continued, criticizing NATO for pushing Russia to make that move and saying, “This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border, which they promised they wouldn’t do when [Mikhail] Gorbachev negotiated the withdrawal of the USSR from the whole of Eastern Europe.”
Smerconish’s suggestion that the U.S. has taken on the role of “liberator” around the world, only for Waters to respond with, “You got into World War 2 because of Pearl Harbor. You were completely isolationists [beforehand]. Thank god the Russians had already won the bloody war by then. 23 million Russians died, protecting you and me from the Nazi menace.”
The complete interview can be seen in the clip above, which also touches on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan – with Waters taking the side of China and telling Smerconish that he’s believing “your side’s propaganda.”

Roger E. Mosley, best known for his role as helicopter pilot Theodore “T.C.” Calvin in “Magnum, P.I.” has died Sunday at 83, his family reports.
“Roger E. Mosley, my father, your friend, your “coach Mosley” your “TC” from Magnum P.I., passed away at 1:17am,” his daughter, Ch-a, posted on Facebook Sunday morning. “He was surrounded by family as he transcended peacefully.”
The actor is fondly remembered for his leading role, which he played alongside Tom Selleck, in the original “Magnum, P.I.” series that ran from 1980 to 1988.
Born in Watts section of Los Angeles, Mosley made his acting debut in 1971 with minor roles in episodes of “Canon” and “Longstreet.” He went on to play Monk in “Terminal Island,” alongside Phyllis Davis and future co-star Tom Selleck.
After a number of roles in the late 1970s, Mosley began his time on “Magnum, P.I.” as Theodore “T.C.” Calvin, a helicopter pilot who ran his own tour guide service, called “Island Hoppers,” and frequently flew Magnum while he worked on various cases.
Mosley made an appearance in the episode reboot in 2019, playing T.C.’s barber. While on the original series, Mosley also directed and wrote an episode.
In addition to “Magnum, P.I.,” the California native also had notable roles in “A Thin Line Between Love and Hate,” “McQ,” “The Greatest,” “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper” and “Hit Man”
In 1982, he told Ebony Magazine that “Leadbelly” was his favorite movie that he acted in because it provided him an opportunity to “demonstrate his versatility and educated him about the institutional racism of his chosen profession.”
Ch-a noted that her father wouldn’t have wanted to be cried over, noting that she plans to “celebrate the legacy he left for us all.”
“We could never mourn such an amazing man,” his daughter wrote on Facebook. “He would HATE any crying done in his name. It is time to celebrate the legacy he left for us all. I love you daddy. You loved me too. My heart is heavy but I am strong. I will care for mommy, your love of almost 60 years. You raised me well and she is in good hands. Rest easy.”

“The Orville” honored Norm Macdonald in a tribute video posted Friday showcasing the late comedian and actor’s moments on the show as lovable Gelatin Lieutenant Yaphit.
“In loving memory of Norm Macdonald,” the tweet said. “Thanks for your continuous laughs and allowing us to be part of your fleet. – The Orville Crew”
Macdonald voiced Yaphit, a gelatinous lieutenant and engineer aboard the USS Orville, and portrayed his human form in the Hulu series prior to his death in September 2021.
The montage of clips showcases Yaphit’s bold sense of humor, as well as the lieutenant being honored with the Sapphire Star medal for “extraordinary heroism beyond the call of duty” during the Kaylon conflict. Macdonald also makes an appearance as Yaphit’s human form when he approaches Dr. Claire Finn, with whom he developed a romantic interest.
“What in God’s name did you do?” Claire asked, baffled by his transformation.
“Just a little makeover,” Yaphit replies, before extending his arm longer than physically possible to the back of the bar. “Some whisky, my lady?” he offers as Claire expresses her frustration with the engineer and leaves the bar.
The sci-fi comedy drama, inspired by “Star Trek” and its “The Next Generation” spinoff, was created by Seth MacFarlane, who envisioned “utterly non-human” characters to portray realistic futuristic beings.
Macdonald died at 61 after a nine-year battle with cancer. He was posthumously nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special for his “Nothing Special” Netflix special in July.
At the end of the Netflix special, colleagues David Letterman, Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler, Conan O’Brien, Molly Shannon and David Spade reflected on Macdonald’s death, and admitted that many did not know the comedian was sick.

Scotland's Laura Muir won the 1500 metres at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday evening to secure her first major world gold medal.
The 29-year-old, who won bronze after finishing third in the 800 metres on Saturday, saw off the competition in a blistering time of 4:02.75, with Northern Ireland’s Ciara Mageean and Australia’s Abbey Caldwell taking silver and bronze respectively. Her team-mate Jemma Reekie narrowly missed out on a medal.

“It’s so nice to come here and not just get one but two [medals]. It’s such a competitive field and these girls are fast, so yeah, it means a lot.”
It was a dominant performance from Muir, who attacked early with 500m to go and although she didn’t look entirely comfortable, still finished over two seconds ahead of Mageean.
It was a relaxed start from Muir as she hung at the back to begin with, but moved into third after two minutes before making her move going into the final lap.

Whilst there might have been drama and heartbreak behind, it was a dominant win for #33 Team HRC in 43rd Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours with the line-up of Tetsuta Nagashima, Takumi Takahashi and Iker Lecuona taking the chequered flag by over a lap in the third round of the FIM Endurance World Championship.
The #33 CBR1000RR-RSP was peerless throughout the eight hours and save for a brief dice at the early restart there was little doubt of who was favourite baring the unexpected.

FIM EWC
HRC take win, SERT first of season contenders in EWC Suzuka 8 Hours
The Suzuka 8 Hours start came with rather surprising blue skies after a build-up week of alternating grey hazy humidity or rain, the heavens seemingly cleared ahead of the race. The HRC led the field away cleanly, but behind it the top qualifying permanent EWC-entered #7 Yamaha YZFF-R1 had a shocker, down as low as 25th with Niccolò Canepa giving himself plenty to do, in complete contrast to Gregg Black on the rival #1 Yoshimura SERT Motul GSX-R1000R, who had a stormer, up to fourth on track on the first lap.
No sooner was the first lap done than the safety car was out for the first time after Kosuke Sakumoto on the #17 Astemo Honda Dream SI Racing CBR1000RR-R took out Naomichi Uramoto on the SDG Honda Racing version of the same bike heading into T13, providing an unlucky race exit for both with their teams’ dreams of glory turning into an instant nightmare.
Sakumoto lost the front and seemingly came from nowhere to torpedo Uramoto in the spectacular crash from which both riders walked away. With both bikes needing recovery and the barriers needing repair however, it was a 7-lap safety car period.
The Honda NSX was followed first by the #33, then the #5 FCC TSR CBR1000RR-R Fireblade with Josh Hook riding the opening stint, from the #10 Kawasaki Racing Team Suzuka 8H ZX-10R with Leon Haslam on start duties, then the SERT, followed by the #37 BMW MOTORRAD WORLD ENDURANCE TEAM M1000RR with Illya Mykhalchyk on board.

With the safety car back in, it was an early tussle for the lead with Black, Takahashi and Haslam all dicing after the restart before the HRC was back to the place that its pace dictates and started to stretch out a lead.
With the early banter over, strategic considerations soon can into question: who would pit first of the frontrunners? Answer: YART. Canepa had done a fabulous job to redeem his tardy start, up to tenth by lap 10, seventh a lap later, and into third position by lap 14.
By lap 26, the YART was in, with Canepa swapping for Marvin Fritz and so the first stops ensured. The #5 was next, Hook for Di Meglio, then the SERT, Black for Watanabe, but not till lap 28 was the #33 HRC in for Takahashi to swap to Nagashima.

The HRC pitting handed the lead to the #10 Kawasaki for a lap for before it pitted too. Fuel consumption considerations were now there for all to see.
Fuel consumption was not the only consideration for the season-contending #11 Webike SRC Kawasaki France team after Randy de Puniet had a low-speed drop at Degner 2, requiring a return to the pits and a 7-minute turnaround before Florian Marino returned to the track.

A second safety car came out at the two-hour mark after an off for the #51, whilst the rider was okay the bike was lightly toasted from a fire, but it was as you were at the front save for the timing and spacing of the two safety cars which are deployed at Suzuka. The #10 Kawasaki got picked up by the second one thus handing the Honda yet another advantage.

It was to get worst for the #10 before it got better, but first an overheating issue for the #37 BMW M1000RR meant rider Mykhalchyk was soon overheating too as he had to push back to the pits – no mean feat in the searing heat – whilst Jonathan Rea laid down the ZX-10R whilst navigating traffic coming into the chicane. The Brit was soon back up, and the nearest rival YART soon in for their next rider change, so to positions were swapped, however the BMW was sadly out with a coolant retention issue unable to be resolved.
“I'm really disappointed - of course - because we had a technical issue and we were unable to fix it to continue,” said Team Manager, Werner Daemen.
“It’s a big shame as there are so many positives from this race weekend. We came here having never raced here before and we were ninth in the Top 10 Trial and sixth in qualifying. The team did a really good job. We didn't have a single crash. It’s been a great effort from all and we know what to do for next year.”
With the BMW out, the battle in the second half for lead full-season entry continued between the #7 Yamaha and #1 Suzuki. The YART’s pace did not diminish and despite not being able to run quite as long as the Suzuki before pit stops, pace seemed to be winning through.
As the final hour started to tick by, so a rear tyre change took longer than wanted, before Fritz headed out for his final stint, but soon there would be consternation as the German got caught up with the #74 Akeno Speed – Yamaha Superstock bike at T13 such that both ended up embedded in the air barriers. As well as Fritz having to dig his Yamaha out of said barriers, the team would also have to make repairs to the R1 and serve a penalty too.
“The podium was in touching distance, but with less than an hour to go, I went to overtake a back-marker and crashed,” explained Fritz.
“I was not even pushing that hard at the time; I was just focusing on my rhythm. I went to make the pass up the inside at Turn 13 as he left a gap, but then he moved back across the track, and we were both on the same racing line. We made contact and went down.
“The bike was damaged a lot, but the team did amazingly to repair the bike in under ten minutes. I am just sorry for the team, as we worked hard all week, and everyone deserved the podium. We were fast in every session, and it hurts to finish like this.”
It was Hanika out for the final stint on the repaired Yamaha, with the ride through still to be served, with the squad losing out on the permanent EWC race lead to the #7 Suzuki as well as losing the prospect of the overall podium.
“Obviously, I am disappointed, but I am also very proud of the whole team,” said Team Manager Mandy Kainz. “We do not have as many resources compared to our factory rivals, but we were right up there at the front all week.
“We were fast from the first day of testing, and being the only team to have all three riders in the 2:05s during qualifying showed how quick we were. During the race, the guys rode superbly, they were so consistent, and it looked like we would achieve our dream of recording our first ever podium at Suzuka. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, but this is endurance racing.”
Leaving Suzuka, YART remain third in the overall standings with 93 points, 34 points behind the leaders, but the late issue for the #7 gifted the championship leading #1 bike maximum series points and third on the overall podium. Not bad for a squad that twice changed rider line-up and qualified 22nd on the grid.
Black, as mentioned, had made a stunning start from 22nd up to contending the lead, but the Suzuki pair weren’t quite able to match the pace of their rivals in the middle section of the race even if they certainly were close enough if disaster struck.
“An incredible result to score some great points for the championship,” said Black afterwards.
Ahead of the Yoshimura SERT bike on the all-Bridgestone shod podium was the #10 Kawasaki Racing Team Suzuka 8H ZX-10R of Jonathan Rea, Alex Lowes and Leon Haslam, with a T12 slow lowside for Rea in the fourth hour seeming the only real cause for concern over the 8 hours even if the safety car placing was cause for frustration.
The #10 KRT entry had been in a battle with the #7 Yamaha with the #7 having more race pace, but greater fuel consumption, and the KRT losing out in the second safety car appearance which split the KRT from the leading team. Later, approaching the halfway mark a small lowside from Rea, while trying to pass two slower riders in his effort to trim the leaders' margin, lost some more seconds that proved to be impossible to make up again before race end.
“I'm really disappointed - of course - because we had a technical issue and we were unable to fix it to continue,” said Team Manager, Werner Daemen.
“It’s a big shame as there are so many positives from this race weekend. We came here having never raced here before and we were ninth in the Top 10 Trial and sixth in qualifying. The team did a really good job. We didn't have a single crash. It’s been a great effort from all and we know what to do for next year.”
With the BMW out, the battle in the second half for lead full-season entry continued between the #7 Yamaha and #1 Suzuki. The YART’s pace did not diminish and despite not being able to run quite as long as the Suzuki before pit stops, pace seemed to be winning through.
As the final hour started to tick by, so a rear tyre change took longer than wanted, before Fritz headed out for his final stint, but soon there would be consternation as the German got caught up with the #74 Akeno Speed – Yamaha Superstock bike at T13 such that both ended up embedded in the air barriers. As well as Fritz having to dig his Yamaha out of said barriers, the team would also have to make repairs to the R1 and serve a penalty too.
“The podium was in touching distance, but with less than an hour to go, I went to overtake a back-marker and crashed,” explained Fritz.
“I was not even pushing that hard at the time; I was just focusing on my rhythm. I went to make the pass up the inside at Turn 13 as he left a gap, but then he moved back across the track, and we were both on the same racing line. We made contact and went down.
“The bike was damaged a lot, but the team did amazingly to repair the bike in under ten minutes. I am just sorry for the team, as we worked hard all week, and everyone deserved the podium. We were fast in every session, and it hurts to finish like this.”

“It is not easy to have two goals in a single season - the WorldSBK championship and also the Suzuka 8 Hours,” said Rea. “We had huge competition here, and did our best. I feel we just came up short but we can be proud, and really proud of my team-mates and everyone else for their hard work. It is a little bit bitter sweet coming second best but I think we can fly home knowing we gave it our best shot.
“There were a few mistakes in the race, a few issues, but that is Endurance racing and we can stand on that podium and be proud of our efforts.”

Next across the line of the full season contenders, the #5 FCC TSR team with Josh Hook and Mike Di Meglio in action had fought back up the order after an early brake master cylinder change, further brakes and exhaust issues to finish in tenth overall and retain its second place in the provisional World Endurance Championship standings.
The squad, down to two riders due to the hospitalisation of Gino Rea, saw Hook make a strong start to even fight for the lead and keep in the battle come the first restart in the early running but after handing over to Di Meglio the first brake issues for the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade surfaced, meaning a long next stop for the squad as the sought to rectify.

Hook rejoined down in 19th position but was yet to face a ride-through penalty before it could work back up the order to its tenth place come the chequered flag. With 13 points accrued from the weekend, F.C.C TSR Honda France kept its second place in standings, with 104 points, 23 points behind the leading Yosimura SERT.
“It's been a very tough couple of days for us and the whole team,” said Hook after the race. “Firstly I'd just like to say our thoughts and prayers are with Gino. The race was very, very difficult as we had too many mechanical problems and having only two riders is quite physical so we weren't as strong as we would have liked.
“Of course, I’m not happy with today's result, but Mike and I gave 100% and this is all we can ask for at this time.”
As well as the technical and procedural issues, Di Meglio reckoned the squad could have done with a few more horses to help their fight.
“It was a very hard race, especially because of the situation with Gino,” he said. “We lacked pace and it was quite complicated to keep up with pace because here in Suzuka it’s all about power.
“Josh made a very good start and we managed to be strong at the start, but with two times rear brake trouble and exhaust trouble and a stop and go didn't help."
The #88 Honda Asia-Dream Racing with SHOWA was the next of the permanent entries, with Zaqhwan Zaidi, Garry Slim and Helmi Azuman bringing their CBR1000RR-R home eleventh overall.
In fifteenth overall, the full-time #11 Webike SRC Kawasaki France entry was further down the order than they’d have liked, with an early visit to the pits after a drop at Degner 2 from Randy de Puniet and a later lack of fuel in the tank the primary culprits delaying their charge.

Today’s victory was Honda’s 28th Suzuka 8 Hours win and the first since 2014. It’s Takahashi’s fourth win in the event, and a first for Tetsuta Nagashima and Iker Lecuona.
“I’m simply happy!” said Nagashima of his first Suzuka 8 Hours win. “I’m glad to have had the opportunity to be involved in developing the CBR1000RR-RSP in 2021 and 2022, realize its potential, and show the world.”
For Takahashi, it was his fourth victory in the event. “I’ve always been unhappy with the 2019 Suzuka 8 Hours, so I’m glad we won today,” he said. “I’m relieved that I managed to play my part, as Nagashima developed the bike, and I had to become accustomed to it and bring out its potential, otherwise I would hold him back. This is my fourth Suzuka 8 Hours victory, and if I get another chance, I will aim for the record of five victories held by Toru Ukawa.”

“I am really, really, really happy to win my first Suzuka 8 Hours. It felt amazing when Nagashima was met by the checkered flag. Everything has gone well since the Suzuka tests, the bike developed by Honda and Nagashima was superb, and I think I managed to bring out the performance of the bike.
“I was worried when the safety car entered the track that I would lose the gap our other two riders had built up, but we got through fine.”
The FIM Endurance World Championship season finale takes place on 15-18 September with the Bol d’Or at Paul Ricard.

Gary Neville has hit out at Manchester United’s hierarchy for not backing manager Erik ten Hag in the summer transfer window following the opening day defeat to Brighton in the Premier League.
Pascal Gross scored a double to give the visitors a two-goal lead at Old Trafford and though an Alexis Mac Allister own goal gave United hope, Brighton held on for victory.

Nine of United’s starting XI were involved in last season’s underwhelming campaign, with Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen the only new signings on display from the start while Tyrell Malacia came on as a late substitute.

‘Treated really badly’ – Expert view on De Jong and Barcelona
And speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Neville described it as a ‘familiar performance’ from last season.
"The people above him should have known that was an unacceptable situation to hand Erik ten Hag that squad at the start of the season,” he said.
“It needed improving more than it has been already. Obviously there are two or three weeks to go in the transfer window but he needed three or four weeks to be able to work with them.
"Every new coach that comes in thinks they can do better with the players that were there than the players with the last coach because they believe they're the better coach. That's probably the case with this. The reality is I think he's seen what those players are today.

- Man Utd have bid for Marko Arnautovic rejected - report
“I don't think any Manchester United fan, any pundit or anybody who has watched this team over the last 12 months has seen those same players playing in the same positions expecting anything different from what they saw today.
"Erik ten Hag will be disappointed. He saw promising signs in pre-season but the reality has hit home."
Neville even went as far as describing United ‘as the easiest team to play in the league’.
He added: “That's a massive worry. The openness is unbelievable. It's like 'how have they got themselves in this position'."
Meanwhile, Neville’s colleague and former Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane questioned the players’ mentality.
“There's an element of talent in the squad but when they do have a little setback they can't seem to deal with it.
"I go back to the DNA of the club or the culture of the players and what is going on at the training ground. It's not there. I don't see personalities, I don't see characters.

“Harry Maguire said it was a 'nightmare start' after the game. Well it's up to the players to do something about it. Harry is the captain and after every game he says 'we're disappointed, we'll regroup, we'll go again'. Leopards and spots. It's not always about throwing money at it.
"It's very hard to criticise players and say 'they're not giving 100 per cent' but if the stats suggest most of last season and going into the first game of this season then they're not giving 100 per cent.

Manchester United have seen a bid for ex-West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic rejected, according to Sky Sports.
As if to lay bare their current striking troubles, United's only goal in their 2-1 Premier League season-opening defeat against Brighton came from an own goal, and with Cristiano Ronaldo potentially on the verge of leaving the club, that could leave them even more blunt up top.

Anthony Martial also missed the Brighton game with injury, while Marcus Rashford did play but spurned two presentable chances and only found the net four times in the Premier League last season.

And so Bologna's Arnautovic - at a rumoured £7m - could be a cut-price resolution to this issue, with the Austrian knowing United boss Erik ten Hag and assistant Steve McLaren from their collective time at FC Twente.
90min report that Arnautovic and United have discussed personal terms, and that the 33-year-old wants a three-year deal. They also reveal that Bologna are holding out for a fee of £12.7m, while United want to spend no more than £8.4m.
Speaking after the defeat to the Seagulls, Ten Hag was coy on the issue: "I don't go into names because I think in this pre-season 250 players are involved or linked with Manchester United, so that's it.
"We have two strikers, maybe a third one, with Rashford as well.
"We considered him as a striker but he had a really good pre-season on the left side and today he had two really good chances coming in from the left side.

- Keane: Fred, McTominay not good enough to start for Man Utd
"So I think it was the right decision to do it like this. But the typical No 9 wasn't available today."
Arnautovic has experience of playing in the Premier League from six years with Stoke City and West Ham - four at the former and two at the latter - with a best return of 11 top-flight goals in a season.

Twenty years on from Ernie Els’ Open triumph at Muirfield, Ashleigh Buhai overcame an almighty wobble to follow her fellow South African into the winners’ circle with victory in the Women’s Open.
Els secured victory in the ultimate test of a play-off, and it was fitting Buhai followed suit by getting the better of In Gee Chun after four extra holes.
Ad
Winning majors is difficult, unless you are peak Tiger Woods, and it was never going to be a cruise round Muirfield in windy conditions.
Wyndham Championship
'Getting a little unhealthy' - Zalatoris splits from caddie in middle of tournament
Buhai built her lead - it stood at five shots overnight - on the back of confident, controlled golf. But an awful swing on the 15th tee resulted in a triple bogey and threw the tournament wide open.
She made pars on 16, 17 and 18 - as did Chun - to take the final major of the year into extra holes for the first time since 1992.
The rules state the 18th is played continuously until a winner is found. At the fourth extra hole, it was Chun who faltered off the tee and Buhai held nerve to claim a maiden major title.
“It is a lot of hard work, many years of dedication, and there are lots of South Africans at home with grey hair right now,” Buhai said at the presentation. “I was surprisingly calm. I kept going through my steps and my thoughts, I just tried to stay in the moment.
“It is so difficult to put into words what it means. We are a small country so to produce multiple major champions is quite something.
“To be a female, South African and a major winner, I have no words. It is life changing.”
Final Leaderboard
- 1. Ashleigh Buhai, 10-under*
- 2. In Gee Chun, 10- under
- 3. Hinaki Shibuno, nine-under
- T4. Madelen Sagstrom, seven-under
- T4. Minjee Lee, seven-under
- T4. Leona Maguire, seven-under
- T7. Steph Kyriacou, five-under
- T7. Brooke Henderson, five-under
- T7. Atthaya Thitikul, five-under
- T7. Lydia Ko, five-under
- T7. Nasa Hataoka, five-under
- T7. Celine Boutier, five-under
Buhai made a shaky start with a bogey on two and got lucky on three when missing a fairway bunker by a matter of inches after appearing to take too much club.
At a time when Buhai looked shaky, Chun birdied on two and four, the latter from long distance, to get within two shots of the lead.
Buhai made a confidence-boosting birdie on the par-five fifth and a string of pars sent out a warning. But an error came on nine, as she found a bunker off the tee and chalked up a bogey.
At the moment, the gap to Chun was one but a hole ahead, Chun found a bunker on 10. Finding a fairway bunker off the tee at Muirfield generally results in a one-shot penalty, and that was the case for Chun and it resulted in Buhai turning for home with a two-shot lead.
Chun made a terrible mistake on 12, short-siding herself on the left. She had to go over a bunker but stood no chance of getting close to the pin and it resulted in a second bogey in three holes as she dropped three adrift of Buhai.
With no players emerging from the pack, Chun and Hinaki Shibuno were the closest challengers at three adrift in the final six holes.
Buhai stood on the 15th tee with a three-shot lead. That evaporated seven strokes later. Finding a bunker off the tee was the start of the troubles. She played out sideways and found a torrid spot in the rough. A hack advanced the ball only 20 yards and she came up short of the green with her fourth. A heavy-handed chip left her with a 15-footer which she missed, meaning she walked off the green with a triple-bogey seven.
The South African looked frazzled walking to the 16th, so it was impressive to see her make a controlled swing and walk off with a par.
Buhai and Chun both made pars on 17 and 18, taking the championship to extra holes.
Chun produced a stunning 30-yard bunker shot to keep the play-off alive, and at the second hole she rolled in a 10-footer to do the same.
For the fourth time on the 18th green on Sunday, once in regulation and three in the play-off, Buhai had a putt to win the title. Once again it stayed above ground, but by a matter of inches.
At the fourth extra hole, with light fading, Chun's tee shot leaked to the right and found the deep bunker. The only option was to splash out. She asked the question with a brilliant approach and Buhai blinked by finding the greenside bunker on the right with her second.
Els played a stunning bunker shot from the other side of the green in 2002. Buhai's was arguably as good and it was enough to secure the win as Chun missed her par putt.
Buhai had the task of stroking in from a foot, with the win all the more impressive as she arrived in Scotland with only one top-10 finish at a major from 42 attempts and fended off a number of blows - some self inflicted - to claim the title.
Reflecting on the bunker shot that set up the win, Buhai said: “My caddie said, I don’t want to brag, but she said to show why you are No. 1 in bunkers this year.
“She gave me confidence and maybe it was something to do with South Africans and bunker shots here.”
Leona Maguire was the in-form player on the course by a distance, and her round of 66 secured the Irish player her best finish in a major.
“I don’t think I could have played much better,” Maguire said. “I had a few chances coming in, it would have been nice to make a couple more putts, but it wasn’t easy out there.”
Louise Duncan was the low amateur at Carnoustie 12 months ago. One year on, and in her second professional appearance, the Scottish youngster carded a 69 in the final round to get in red numbers for the tournament at one-under.
Duncan said before the tournament that a decent pay day would help with her wedding plans. £75,000 should buy a few bottles of fizz.
Charley Hull failed to make a charge on Sunday and ended level-par for the tournament, the same score as Georgia Hall.

New Delhi: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday espoused the case of food growers by underlining the need for making minimum support price (MSP) a legal guarantee and ensuring foolproof marketing system for alternative crops.
The Chief Minister, while addressing the national Council meeting of NITIO Aayog chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi here, recalled that at the time when country was starving for food, the hard-working and resilient farmers of the state had made country self-reliant in food production.
However, he said as agriculture is no longer a profitable venture so the farmers are facing a serious crisis. “All-out efforts must be made to bail out the farmers from this situation for which the Union government must step in.”
The Chief Minister underscored the need for making MSP on the crops a legal guarantee. He said it is the need of hour so that interests of farmers can be safeguarded.
Likewise, Mann said the MSP must be remunerative as the input cost of agriculture have enhanced manifolds and farmers are not getting right price of their harvest.
Outrightly rejecting the committee on MSP constituted by the Centre, he demanded that it should be reconstituted with “real farmers” as its members.
He said the committee is dominated by those armchair economists who don’t have any knowledge about agriculture, and experts of agriculture, along with all stakeholders, must be made members of this committee.
Expressing concern over the import of pulses in country on exorbitant prices, the Chief Minister said this drain of country’s wealth needs to be checked and Punjab can play an important role in it.
He said the farmers of the state are ready to make country self-relevant in production of pulses. The Union government must announce MSP for pulses and assured marketing system for it.
Likewise, the Chief Minister said that diversification of crops is urgently needed to take farmers out of rut of the wheat-paddy cycle on one hand and to save the depleting groundwater level on the other.
The Chief Minister also apprised the Niti Aayog that the state government is making efforts to revamp the education structure in state.

MONTREAL -- Pride Montreal abruptly cancelled its iconic annual parade hours before it was to get underway on Sunday, citing security concerns stemming from a lack of volunteers for the event.
Festival Executive Director Simon Gamache said the march, which was to cap days of celebration of LGBTQ+ communities and which had been scheduled for Sunday afternoon, would not have been able to proceed safely.
“We were missing more than 80 people this morning, it's a lot,” Gamache said in an interview, adding the absentees represented more than a third of the number needed for the parade to go ahead.
Montreal's Pride Parade has been celebrating the progress of LGBTQ+ rights, diversity and inclusion for the last 40 years, and thousands of people were expected to march through the downtown core on Sunday.
Pride Montreal issued a statement on Twitter, saying it made the decision with the support of city police because there were not enough volunteers to ensure safety along the parade route.
Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante said on Sunday she was shocked to learn of the cancellation, calling the event “the most important LGBTQ2IA+ event in North America.”
“I will not hide my surprise and my dissatisfaction to learn in the newspaper this morning that it wouldn't take place, a few hours from the start,” she said at a news conference. “If we had been aware of a lack of manpower, or even anything, we would have put the necessary energy.”
Gamache said this year's Pride festival fell prey to the kind of labour shortages currently plaguing numerous sectors in Quebec and beyond. He also said COVID-19 cases were reported among the volunteers in the last few days, in addition to heatstroke and heavy fatigue.
“Yesterday ... we have the necessary resources, but it was very limited,” he said.
Even though the event was cancelled, a few hundred people showed up to celebrate diversity and marched down the streets in an improvised parade.
Other activities were still set to take place at the Olympic Park Sunday afternoon. Gamache said another event might be organized to replace the parade.

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom - Canada's Evan Dunfee says he drew on the support of his loved ones to propel him to a Commonwealth Games gold medal.
The 31-year-old from Richmond, B.C., won the 10,000 metres on Sunday, using a fabulous kick over the final lap to open up a 40-metre gap on his nearest competitor.
He finished in a Commonwealth and Canadian record time of 38 minutes 36.37 seconds.
“To believe in myself today as much as my friends and family back home believed in me,” Dunfee said. “That was the goal for today, to just come in here and have that same belief as everyone else has in me, and back myself, and that's what I did and I'm thrilled.”
Dunfee's victory comes after a tough season that saw him struggle with a nagging hamstring injury and lack of motivation largely around the elimination of the 50-kilometre event, in which he won bronze at both last summer's Toky Olympics and the 2019 world championships. Dunfee had lobbied fiercely to keep the event, but it was eventually scrapped from the world and Olympic programs.
“I'm forever going to mourn the loss of the 50K, I think it was just the best event in track and field, the best event there is just showcasing endurance, so I'm always going to miss it, I'm always going to root for it, I'm always going to speak to its benefits and its place,” he said. “But you know, the sprint events are fun too, I guess.”
Sunday's race was a huge change of pace for Dunfee, since it was held on the track inside Alexander Stadium. Race walkers normally compete on road courses.
“That was amazing, to come out here, be in the stadium, we've never experienced anything like this as race walkers,” he said.
Canada's Sam Schacter and Daniel Dearing captured silver in men's beach volleyball. The Toronto natives lost 2-1 to Australia's Chris McHugh and Paul Bernett in Sunday's final.
Canada's women's beach volleyball duo of Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes played for gold later Sunday on the penultimate day of the Games.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 7, 2022.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip appeared headed toward a cease-fire Sunday night after Egyptian officials said both sides agreed to a truce to end a flare-up of violence that has killed dozens of Palestinians.
The cease-fire would end the worst fighting in Gaza since an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas last year. Since Friday night, the violence has killed 43 Palestinians, including 15 children and four women.
Egyptian officials said the truce was set to begin at 11:30 p.m. (2030 GMT; 4:30 p.m. EDT). An Egyptian intelligence official said both sides had agreed to the truce. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the cease-fire talks.
Israel confirmed the cease-fire was set to take hold, but said it would respond if it was violated.
Since Friday, Israeli aircraft have pummeled targets in Gaza, while the Iran-backed Palestinian Jihad militant group has fired hundreds of rockets at Israel in response. The risk of the cross-border fighting turning into a full-fledged war remained as long as no truce was reached. Israel says some of the dead were killed by misfired rockets.
Gaza's ruling Hamas group remained on the sidelines, possibly because it fears Israeli reprisals and undoing economic understandings with Israel, including Israeli work permits for thousands of Gaza residents, that bolster its control.
Israel launched its operation with a strike Friday on a leader of the Islamic Jihad, and followed up on Saturday with another targeted strike on a second prominent leader.
The second Islamic Jihad commander, Khaled Mansour, was killed in an airstrike on an apartment building in the Rafah refugee camp in southern Gaza late Saturday, which also killed two other militants and five civilians.
Mansour, the Islamic Jihad commander for southern Gaza, was in the apartment of a member of the group when the missile struck, flattening the three-story building and badly damaging nearby houses.
“Suddenly, without warning, the house next to us was bombed and everything became black and dusty with smoke in the blink of an eye,” said Wissam Jouda, who lives next to the targeted building.
Ahmed al-Qaissi, another neighbor, said his wife and son were among the wounded, suffering shrapnel injuries. To make way for rescue workers, al-Qaissi agreed to have part of his house demolished.
As a funeral for Mansour began in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the Israeli military said it was striking suspected “Islamic Jihad rocket launch posts.” Smoke could be seen from the strikes as thumps from their explosions rattled Gaza. Israeli airstrikes and rocket fire followed for hours as sirens wailed in central Israel. As the sunset call to prayer sounded in Gaza, sirens wailed as far north as Tel Aviv.
Israel says some of the deaths during this round were caused by errant rocket fire, including one incident in the Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza in which six Palestinians were killed Saturday. On Sunday, a projectile hit a home in the same area of Jebaliya, killing two men. Palestinians held Israel responsible, while Israel said it was investigating whether the area was struck by an errant rocket.
Israel's Defense Ministry said mortars fired from Gaza hit the Erez border crossing into Israel, used by thousands of Gazans daily. The mortars damaged the roof and shrapnel hit the hall's entrance, the ministry said. The crossing has been closed amid the fighting.
The Rafah strike was the deadliest so far in the current round of fighting, which was initiated by Israel on Friday with the targeted killing of Islamic Jihad's commander for northern Gaza.
Israel said it took action against the militant group because of concrete threats of an imminent attack, but has not provided details. Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who is an experienced diplomat but untested in overseeing a war, unleashed the offensive less than three months before a general election in which he is campaigning to keep the job.
In a statement Sunday, Lapid said the military would continue to strike targets in Gaza “in a pinpoint and responsible way in order to reduce to a minimum the harm to noncombatants.” Lapid said the strike that killed Mansour was “an extraordinary achievement.”
“The operation will continue as long as necessary,” Lapid said.
Israel estimates its airstrikes killed about 15 militants.
Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas, and little is known about its arsenal. Both groups call for Israel's destruction, but have different priorities, with Hamas constrained by the demands of governing.
The Israeli army said militants in Gaza fired about 580 rockets toward Israel. The army said its air defenses had intercepted many of them, with two of those shot down being fired toward Jerusalem. Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas.
Air raid sirens sounded in the Jerusalem area for the first time Sunday since last year's Israel-Hamas war.
Jerusalem is typically a flashpoint during periods of cross-border fighting between Israel and Gaza. On Sunday, hundreds of Jews, including firebrand ultra-nationalist lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir, visited a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. The visit, under heavy police protection, ended without incident, police said.
Such demonstrative visits by Israeli hard-liners seeking to underscore Israeli claims of sovereignty over contested Jerusalem have sparked violence in the past. The holy site sits on the fault line of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is central to rival narratives of Palestinians and Israeli Jews.
In Palestinian cities and towns in the West Bank, Israeli security forces said they detained 19 people on suspicion of belonging to the Islamic Jihad during overnight raids.
By Sunday, Hamas still appeared to stay out of the battle. The group has a strong incentive to avoid another war. Last year's Israel-Hamas war, one of four major conflicts and several smaller battles over the last 15 years, exacted a staggering toll on the impoverished territory's 2.3 million Palestinian residents.
Since the last war, Israel and Hamas have reached tacit understandings based on trading calm for work permits and a slight easing of the border blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt when Hamas overran the territory 15 years ago. Israel has issued 12,000 work permits to Gaza laborers, and has held out the prospect of granting another 2,000 permits.
The lone power plant in Gaza ground to a halt at noon Saturday due to lack of fuel. Israel has kept its crossing points into Gaza closed since Tuesday. With the new disruption, Gazans can use only four hours of electricity a day, increasing their reliance on private generators and deepening the territory's chronic power crisis amid peak summer heat.
Goldenberg reported from Tel Aviv, Israel.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The National Weather Service extended a flood watch through Sunday evening for areas of eastern Kentucky ravaged by high water more than a week ago and said there's a threat of thunderstorms in the region for much of the coming week.
There's a “persistent threat of thunderstorms” through Thursday that could produce heavy rain and cause flash flooding “especially if multiple storms pass over the same area,” the weather service in Jackson said.
The forecast includes Monday, when President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are scheduled to join Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and his wife, Britainy, at a Federal Emergency Management Agency State Disaster Recovery Center in eastern Kentucky to survey the damage and meet with those affected.
The biggest concern is the possibility of slow-moving storms on Tuesday and Wednesday, which could dump heavy rain on already saturated soil, National Weather Service meteorologist Philomon Geertson said.
“It is a wet and juicy pattern that could cause at least some more isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding and further complicate the recovery efforts that are ongoing at this time,” he said.
Some relief is expected toward the end of the week, Geertson said.
“It does look like high pressure will finally build in and we'll get a reprieve from this really wet and muggy air mass that we've been dealing with for a couple of weeks now,” he said.
Meanwhile, the federal government on Saturday promised more aid for flood-ravaged eastern Kentucky. Biden authorized an increase in the level of federal funding for emergency work and FEMA added five counties to those eligible for individual assistance for a total of 12.
“This is good news and will be a big help,” Beshear said in a tweet Sunday after visiting the day before with some displaced residents who are staying at state parks since the catastrophic flooding.
“These Kentuckians have been through the unimaginable. My priority is being there for them,” he said.
At least 37 people lost their lives in the flooding after 8 to 10 1/2 inches (20 to 27 centimeters) of rain fell in just 48 hours in the Appalachian mountain region. The flooding also hit areas just across the state line in Virginia and West Virginia.
The National Weather Service said radar-based rainfall estimates suggesting that 14 to 16 inches of rain fell from July 26-29, totals that are “historically unheard of.”
More than 1,300 people were rescued in the days after the storm as teams searched in boats and combed debris-clogged creekbanks. Work crews were still trying to restore power and water connections as residents look to repair their homes and lives after the floods.
Power outages were down to 300 on Sunday, Beshear tweeted. The number of fatalities stood at 37, but Kentucky State Police reported at least two people were still missing.
“The devastation is enormous. We will be there for our Eastern Kentucky neighbors in the weeks, months and years ahead,” Beshear said.
