SAN ANTONIO — Starline Costumes will continue on.
Jacob Dell is taking over the 50-year-old company, located on Bandera Road, in mid November. Dell is the owner of fireworks company Magic in the Sky and a professor at UTSA.
Starline will be an extension of his business, which supplies fireworks for Six Flags Fiesta Texas and theme parks in other parts of the country.
"We thought what a perfect opportunity to have a ready-made costume facility," said Dell.
Initially, the store was set to close when its current owner Julie Keck announced her retirement in early October on social media.
"It's an emotional decision because it's part of, not just me, but my family," said Keck.
Her mother started the costuming business in 1972, and Keck joined a decade later. The store carries an assortment of rental costumes and is open year-round for all holidays. The business has been a San Antonio staple for a half a century, a mainstay in the community.
Recently, costumes were only available for purchase as Keck had planned to liquidate inventory. She pulled back when Dell expressed interest in buying the company.
"We got a deal. We got it worked out so I had to stop pulling from the rental department," said Keck.
Retired rental remain on the sales floor, but Keck said, there are plenty of costumes for shoppers to choose from.
Starline will stay in the same location, but Dell plans to update the building and bring in more inventory for customers to choose from.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has done it again: Twenty years after first winning the Brazilian presidency, the leftist defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro Sunday in an extremely tight election that marks an about-face for the country after four years of far-right politics.
With more than 99% of the votes tallied in the runoff vote, da Silva had 50.9% and Bolsonaro 49.1%, and the election authority said da Silva’s victory was a mathematical certainty.
It is a stunning reversal for da Silva, 77, whose imprisonment for corruption sidelined him from the 2018 election that brought Bolsonaro, a defender of conservative social values, to power.
“Today the only winner is the Brazilian people," da Silva said in a speech at a hotel in downtown Sao Paulo. “This isn’t a victory of mine or the Workers’ Party, nor the parties that supported me in campaign. It’s the victory of a democratic movement that formed above political parties, personal interests and ideologies so that democracy came out victorious.”
Da Silva is promising to govern beyond his party. He wants to bring in centrists and even some leaning to the right who voted for him for the first time, and to restore the country’s more prosperous past. Yet he faces headwinds in a politically polarized society where economic growth is slowing and inflation is soaring.
This was the country's tightest election since its return to democracy in 1985, and the first time since then that the sitting president failed to win reelection. Just over 2 million votes separated the two candidates; the previous closest race, in 2014, was decided by a margin of roughly 3.5 million votes.
The highly polarized election in Latin America's biggest economy extended a wave of recent leftist victories in the region, including Chile, Colombia and Argentina.
As Lula spoke to his supporters — promising to “govern a country in a very difficult situation” — Bolsonaro had yet to concede.
Da Silva’s inauguration is scheduled to take place on Jan. 1. He last served as president from 2003-2010.
Thomas Traumann, an independent political analyst, compared the results to Biden’s 2020 victory, saying da Silva is inheriting an extremely divided nation.
“The huge challenge that Lula has will be to pacify the country,” he said. “People are not only polarized on political matters, but also have different values, identity and opinions. What’s more, they don’t care what the other side’s values, identities and opinions are.”
Congratulations for da Silva — and Brazil — began to pour in from around Latin America and across the world Sunday evening, including from U.S. President Joe Biden, who highlighted the country’s “free, fair, and credible elections.” The European Union also congratulated da Silva in a statement, commending the electoral authority for its effectiveness and transparency throughout the campaign.
Bolsonaro had been leading throughout the first half of the count and, as soon as da Silva overtook him, cars in the streets of downtown Sao Paulo began honking their horns. People in the streets of Rio de Janeiro’s Ipanema neighborhood could be heard shouting, “It turned!”
Da Silva’s headquarters in downtown Sao Paulo hotel only erupted once the final result was announced, underscoring the tension that was a hallmark of this race.
“Four years waiting for this,” said Gabriela Souto, one of the few supporters allowed in due to heavy security.
Outside Bolsonaro’s home in Rio, ground-zero for his support base, a woman atop a truck delivered a prayer over a speaker, then sang excitedly, trying to generate some energy as the tally grew for da Silva. But supporters decked out in the green and yellow of the flag barely responded. Many perked up when the national anthem played, singing along loudly with hands over their hearts.
For months, it appeared that da Silva was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when Brazil’s economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class.
But while da Silva topped the Oct. 2 first-round elections with 48% of the vote, Bolsonaro was a strong second at 43%, showing opinion polls significantly had underestimated his popularity.
Bolsonaro’s administration has been marked by incendiary speech, his testing of democratic institutions, his widely criticized handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in 15 years. But he has built a devoted base by defending conservative values and presenting himself as protection from leftist policies that he says infringe on personal liberties and produce economic turmoil. And he shored up support in an election year with vast government spending.
“We did not face an opponent, a candidate. We faced the machine of the Brazilian state put at his service so we could not win the election," da Silva told the crowd in Sao Paulo.
Da Silva built an extensive social welfare program during his tenure that helped lift tens of millions into the middle class. The man universally known as Lula also presided over an economic boom, leaving office with an approval rating above 80%, prompting then U.S. President Barack Obama to call him “the most popular politician on Earth.”
But he is also remembered for his administration’s involvement in vast corruption revealed by sprawling investigations. Da Silva’s arrest in 2018 kept him out of that year’s race against Bolsonaro, a fringe lawmaker at the time who was an outspoken fan of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Da Silva was jailed for for 580 days for corruption and money laundering. His convictions were later annulled by Brazil’s top court, which ruled the presiding judge had been biased and colluded with prosecutors. That enabled da Silva to run for the nation’s highest office for the sixth time.
Da Silva has pledged to boost spending on the poor, reestablish relationships with foreign governments and take bold action to eliminate illegal clear-cutting in the Amazon rainforest.
“We will once again monitor and do surveillance in the Amazon. We will fight every illegal activity," da Silva said in his acceptance speech. "At the same time we will promote sustainable development of the communities of the Amazon.”
The president-elect has pledged to install a ministry for Brazil’s original peoples, which will be run by an Indigenous person.
But as da Silva tries to achieve these and other goals, he will be confronted by strong opposition from conservative lawmakers likely to take their cues from Bolsonaro.
Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo, compared the likely political climate to that experienced by former President Dilma Rousseff, da Silva’s hand-picked successor after his second term.
“Lula’s victory means Brazil is trying to overcome years of turbulence since the reelection of President Dilma Rousseff in 2014. That election never ended; the opposition asked for a recount, she governed under pressure and was impeached two years later,” said Melo. “The divide became huge and then made Bolsonaro.”
Unemployment this year has fallen to its lowest level since 2015 and, although overall inflation has slowed during the campaign, food prices are increasing at a double-digit rate. Bolsonaro’s welfare payments helped many Brazilians get by, but da Silva has been presenting himself as the candidate more willing to sustain aid going forward and raise the minimum wage.
In April, he tapped center-right Geraldo Alckmin, a former rival, to be his running mate. It was another key part of an effort to create a broad, pro-democracy front to not just unseat Bolsonaro, but to make it easier to govern.
“If Lula manages to talk to voters who didn’t vote for him, which Bolsonaro never tried, and seeks negotiated solutions to the economic, social and political crisis we have, and links with other nations that were lost, then he could reconnect Brazil to a time in which people could disagree and still get some things done,” Melo said.

SEOUL, South Korea — In one moment, thousands of Halloween revelers crammed into the narrow, vibrant streets of Seoul’s most cosmopolitan neighborhood, eager to show off their capes, wizard hats and bat wings.
In the next, panic spread as an unmanageable mass of people jammed into a narrow alley in Itaewon. Toppled revelers stacked on one another "like dominoes" in a chaotic crush so intense that clothes were ripped off.
A stunned Seoul was just beginning on Monday to put together the huge scope of the crowd surge that killed mostly people in their 20s and 30s, including foreign nationals, on Saturday night. As of Sunday evening, officials put the death toll at 153 and the number of injured people at 133. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said it expected the death toll to rise on account of the number of injured people in serious conditions.
Witnesses say the nightmarish scene intensified as people performed CPR on the dying and carried limp bodies to ambulances, while dance music pulsed from garish clubs lit in bright neon. Others tried desperately to pull out those who were trapped underneath the crush of people, but failed because too many in the crowd had fallen on top of them.
Some people were unable to move at all for 40 minutes.
“We were just stuck together so tightly we couldn’t even shift to call out and report the situation,” said one witness, surnamed Lee. “We were strangers, but we held each others’ hands and repeatedly shouted out, ‘Let’s survive!’”
Kim Mi Sung, a witness who works for a non-profit organization in Itaewon, told The Associated Press that nine out of the 10 people she gave CPR to eventually died. Many were bleeding from their noses and mouths. Most were women dressed as witches or were in other Halloween costumes; two were foreigners.
“It was like a hell,” Kim said. “I still can't believe what happened.”
In this ultra-wired, high-tech country, anguish, terror and grief — as well as many of the details of what happened — are playing out most vividly on social media. Users posted messages desperately seeking friends and loved ones, as witnesses and survivors described what they went through.
“I thought I was dying," one woman said in posts on Twitter. "My entire body was stuck among everyone else, while people laughed from a terrace and videotaped us. I thought I would really die if I cried out. I stretched my hands out to (others) who were above me and I managed to get out.”
An unidentified female witness in her 20s wept as she described the scene to the Yonhap news agency: “It looked like the graves of people piled upon one another. Some of them were slowly losing consciousness and others seemed to have already died."
A male witness, surnamed Kong, said he managed to escape to a nearby bar with his friends after the crush happened. He saw through the bar windows that people were falling on top of each other “like dominoes,” Yonhap reported.
Friends and family members gathered at a local government office to try to find news about the missing.
“I haven’t heard from my child. How can I sleep when my child hasn’t returned home?” an unidentified woman said, according to footage from Yonhap News TV.
One Twitter user posted a series of messages asking for information about a 17-year-old friend who had gone to Itaewon to celebrate wearing a hairband that looked like cat ears.
“I lost contact with her. She’s been a friend of mine for 12 years, and we were like family. Please help me,” the message said.
Even after the crush, some witnesses said they saw some revelers not immediately making way for emergency vehicles, rescuers and police officers. One viral video clip on Twitter showing a crowd of young people dancing and singing near the carnage drew several insults from South Koreans.

PHILADELPHIA — The Houston Astros will try to take a lead in the World Series on Monday as the best-of-seven matchup shifts to Philadelphia for Games 3, 4 and 5. The Phillies won Game 1, 6-5. The Astros took the second game, 5-2.
Houston will send pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. to the mound for Game 3. Philadelphia counters with Noah Syndergaard.
McCullers has started two games this postseason, pitching six scoreless innings in Houston’s 18-inning win over Seattle in Game 3 of the ALDS and starting the clinching game of the ALCS win over the Yankees.
“He’s a big-game pitcher, wants the ball,” Houston pitching coach Josh Miller said. “We want him out there and excited to see him go (Monday). He’s got elite curveball-slider combination with a sinker and a changeup to boot, and he’ll be ready to rise to the occasion.”
McCullers has pitched in 18 postseason games in six seasons, going 2-2 with a 2.77 ERA. Syndergaard is 0-0 in the postseason with a 1.69 ERA.
The first pitch is at 7:03 p.m. Houston time.
The first pitch for Game 4 on Tuesday is also at 7:03 p.m. Cristian Javier gets the start for Houston in that game. Ranger Suárez will head to the hill for Philadelphia.
Series tied at a game apiece
Behind a masterful performance by Framber Valdez, the Astros evened up the World Series on Saturday night. Valdez gave up one earned run in 6 1/3 innings, as Houston beat Philadelphia, 5-2.
The Astros jumped out to a 5-0 lead Saturday and held on for the win, something they were unable to do the night before in Game 1 when they also had a 5-0 lead. In that game, Philadelphia came back to win 6-5 in 10 innings on a JT Realmuto home run.
McCullers shows his love for Houston
How much does Lance McCullers love Houston? During the celebration after the Astros completed a sweep of the Yankees on Sunday, he told a national TV audience, "Bury me in the H," and it’s not the first time he’s said it. Then on Thursday, a day before the Astros World Series Game 1 against Philadelphia, McCullers showed his Houston tattoos off to reporters.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – One man in Albuquerque is using his love for the holidays to help collect items for people in need, starting with a haunted house open for all. It’s a tradition that’s been going on for years.
Around nine years ago, Jared Trujillo started a new tradition at his home.
“We wanted to do a haunted house; we wanted to just have fun with it, and it kinda grew from there,” said Trujillo. Creating a Halloween set up in his yard for the community and then adding a haunted house.
“For Halloween, the yard outside only takes me a couple of hours. The garage is a lot more intricate, it will take me a couple weeks, two to three weeks,” said Trujillo.
The experience is free of charge, mostly. All Trujillo asks is that guests bring in non-perishable food items.
“Nothing expired, nothing damaged, and we donate all of that to the Storehouse,” said Trujillo.
Over the last two years, they’ve been able to collect close to 4,000 pounds of food starting in October for Halloween and then donations continue as the decor switches from spooky to merry, for Christmas.
“I would love to do another 2,000 pounds, if not more. Every year, we collaborate with some other houses in the community, so maybe we can do 4,000 pounds of food,” said Trujillo.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans describe the current state of affairs in the U.S. as “out of control,” according to a new CBS News-YouGov poll.
The poll, published on Sunday, found that 79 percent of respondents believe things are “out of control” in the country, while 21 percent of those surveyed believe things are “under control.”
When asked how they feel about the state of the U.S. today, 73 percent of respondents said things are going badly in the country, while 36 percent of those surveyed said things are going well, according to the poll.
Along political party lines, 48 percent of registered Democratic respondents believe things are going well in the country, while 12 percent of registered Republicans and 18 percent of independents agree.

The poll comes about a week before midterm elections that will decide control of the House and Senate, along with crucial governor races across the country.
The new CBS News-YouGov poll forecast that the GOP will net at least 228 seats in the House chamber in the midterm election, compared to 207 seats for Democrats.

At least 60 dead, many injured after India bridge collapse
At least 60 people died and many are feared injured after a century-old cable suspension bridge collapsed into a river Sunday evening in the western Indian state of Gujarat, sending hundreds plunging in the water, officials said.
Authorities said the 19th-century, colonial-era bridge over the Machchu river in the state's Morbi district collapsed because it could not handle the weight of the large crowd, as the Hindu festival season drew hundreds of people to the recently opened tourist attraction. The bridge had been closed for renovation for almost six months and was reopened just four days ago.
It was not immediately clear exactly how many people were on the 761-foot-long bridge, but officials fear the death toll could rise. State minister Brijesh Merja told reporters that 60 people have died so far and that 17 people were admitted to hospitals.
Merja said emergency responders and rescue workers were searching for the survivors and those killed and injured were mostly teens, women and older people. Teams from the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force were also dispatched to help with the rescue.
"A rescue operation is underway," Merja was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India news agency. "There are reports that several people have suffered injuries. They are being rushed to hospitals."
Videos on social media showed people clinging onto the metal cables of the partly submerged bridge in distress as emergency teams and rescuers used boats and inflatable tires to reach them. Some people were seen swimming ashore to safety. Others, who were fished from the waters, were carried away and transported to the hospitals in private vehicles and ambulances.
Local news channels ran pictures of the missing shared by concerned relatives in search of their loved ones.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in his home state of Gujarat on a three-day visit, said he was "deeply saddened by the tragedy." His office announced compensation to the families of the dead and urged for speedy rescue efforts.
Meanwhile, the state government said it has formed a special team to investigate the disaster.
A vote for Gujarat's state government — led by Modi's party — is expected in the coming months and opposition parties have demanded an investigation into the collapse, saying that the bridge was reopened without getting safety clearance from the city's civic body. The claim could not be independently verified.
Modi ruled the state as the top elected official for 12 years before becoming India's prime minister in 2014.
The bridge collapse is Asia's third major disaster involving large crowds in a month.
On Saturday, a Halloween crowd surge killed more than 150 mostly young people who attended festivities in Itaewon, a neighborhood in Seoul, South Korea. On Oct. 1, police in Indonesia fired tear gas at a soccer match, causing a crush that killed 132 people as spectators attempted to flee.

Witnesses say 'it was like a hell' inside South Korea Halloween crowd surge
In one moment, thousands of Halloween revelers crammed into the narrow, vibrant streets of Seoul's most cosmopolitan neighborhood, eager to show off their capes, wizard hats and bat wings.
In the next, panic spread as an unmanageable mass of people jammed into a narrow alley in Itaewon. Toppled revelers stacked on one another "like dominoes" in a chaotic crush so intense that clothes were ripped off.
A stunned Seoul was just beginning on Monday to put together the huge scope of the crowd surge that killed mostly people in their 20s and 30s, including foreign nationals, on Saturday night. As of Sunday evening, officials put the death toll at 153 and the number of injured people at 133. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said it expected the death toll to rise on account of the number of injured people in serious conditions.
Video below: South Korea fire crews attend scene of Halloween party crush
Witnesses say the nightmarish scene intensified as people performed CPR on the dying and carried limp bodies to ambulances, while dance music pulsed from garish clubs lit in bright neon. Others tried desperately to pull out those who were trapped underneath the crush of people, but failed because too many in the crowd had fallen on top of them.
Some people were unable to move at all for 40 minutes.
"We were just stuck together so tightly we couldn't even shift to call out and report the situation," said one witness, surnamed Lee. "We were strangers, but we held each others' hands and repeatedly shouted out, 'Let's survive!'"
Kim Mi Sung, a witness who works for a non-profit organization in Itaewon, told The Associated Press that nine out of the 10 people she gave CPR to eventually died. Many were bleeding from their noses and mouths. Most were women dressed as witches or were in other Halloween costumes; two were foreigners.
"It was like a hell," Kim said. "I still can't believe what happened."

In this ultra-wired, high-tech country, anguish, terror and grief — as well as many of the details of what happened — are playing out most vividly on social media. Users posted messages desperately seeking friends and loved ones, as witnesses and survivors described what they went through.
"I thought I was dying," one woman said in posts on Twitter. "My entire body was stuck among everyone else, while people laughed from a terrace and videotaped us. I thought I would really die if I cried out. I stretched my hands out to (others) who were above me and I managed to get out."
An unidentified female witness in her 20s wept as she described the scene to the Yonhap news agency: "It looked like the graves of people piled upon one another. Some of them were slowly losing consciousness and others seemed to have already died."
A male witness, surnamed Kong, said he managed to escape to a nearby bar with his friends after the crush happened. He saw through the bar windows that people were falling on top of each other "like dominoes," Yonhap reported.
Friends and family members gathered at a local government office to try to find news about the missing.
"I haven't heard from my child. How can I sleep when my child hasn't returned home?" an unidentified woman said, according to footage from Yonhap News TV.
One Twitter user posted a series of messages asking for information about a 17-year-old friend who had gone to Itaewon to celebrate wearing a hairband that looked like cat ears.
"I lost contact with her. She's been a friend of mine for 12 years, and we were like family. Please help me," the message said.
Even after the crush, some witnesses said they saw some revelers not immediately making way for emergency vehicles, rescuers and police officers. One viral video clip on Twitter showing a crowd of young people dancing and singing near the carnage drew several insults from South Koreans.

'I was caught off guard': Woman says she was robbed in Target parking lot through scam
A Massachusetts woman says two men scammed her in a Target parking lot in order to steal her wallet.
Eileen Savoia said she was approached by two men while she was trying to drive away from the Framingham location on Thursday.
"As I go to turn, they were knocking on the window. One gentleman was (on the driver's side) telling me there was something wrong with my tire," Savoia said. "So I rolled down my window and said: 'What do you mean something's wrong with my tire?'"
According to Savoia, the men claimed that something was leaking near her vehicle's left rear tire.
"They sprayed my tires with, I believe it was balsamic vinegar, that made it look like it was brake grease. Just to distract me," she said.
Savoia then got out of her vehicle to look for the problem and noticed that the substance did not feel like oil. While she was out of the vehicle, Savoia said that is when the next phase of the scammers' plan went into motion.
"While he was distracting me to get out of the car to look at the tire, there was another guy on the right side of my car. He must have went in and grabbed my wallet out of my purse without me even knowing," she said.
Savoia said she did not realize her wallet was gone until after she got back into her car to call AAA. By then, the two men were long gone.
"I was caught off guard and I feel like a fool for falling for that," she said.
Framingham Deputy Police Chief Sean Riley said officers responded to Savoia's call to police from the Target off Route 30/Cochituate Road.
"Someone may have seen these two individuals in this parking lot ... Call us. Let us know. What you think may not be a lot of information may actually help break a crime," Riley said. "They move around. So this isn't targeted just towards Framingham. They're going to go into the next community over. Into Natick, where there are a lot of shopping plazas. This same crew could be all the way up in Saugus."
Savoia said the scammers tried to use her debit card at a local bank's ATM, but they were unsuccessful since they did not have her PIN. She then canceled her credit cards shortly thereafter.
"The holidays are coming. They're out there. Scammers are out there," Savoia said.
Riley said police are checking video from surveillance cameras in and around the Target parking lot, as well as the bank where the scammers tried to use Savoia's debit card.

Odesa, Ukraine – The European Union called on Russia on Sunday to reverse its decision to suspend participation in a grain deal brokered by the United Nations that has helped ease the global food crisis.
Western leaders are condemning Moscow's actions, which are triggering a new wave of fears about global hunger and rampant inflation.
"Russia's decision to suspend participation in the Black Sea deal puts at risks the main export route of much needed grain and fertilisers to address the global food crisis caused by its war against Ukraine," Josep Borrell, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said in a Twitter message.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was deliberately blockading food for the hungry.
In a nighttime address, he called Moscow's decision "predictable." He said Russia was already holding up 176 ships carrying more than 2 million tons of food.
"This is an absolutely transparent intention of Russia to return the threat of large scale famine to Africa and Asia," Zelenskyy said.
U.N. Secretary General António Guterres announced he would be delaying his departure for an Arab League summit in Algiers in an attempt to help salvage the agreement. Guterres was "deeply concerned," a U.N. spokesperson said in a statement, and "continues to engage in intense contacts aiming at the end of the Russian suspension of its participation in the Black Sea Grain Initiative."
The grain deal was a lifeline for nations most in need
Ukraine is one of the world's largest producers of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but the war has wreaked havoc on the so-called breadbasket of Europe.
The grain corridor allowed some relief.
Since the agreement was signed in July, more than 9 million tons of grain have been exported out of the country.
Elena Neroba, a Kyiv-based analyst with the grain trading firm Maxigrain, said more than 54% of the grain went to countries most in need. She fears existing unrest over rising food prices will only get worse — and could turn violent.
"People don't have money to pay extra price for each slice of bread," she said. "They are not such rich countries like in Europe or U.S."
There had already been concerns about whether Russia would agree to continue the current agreement that expires on November 19.
Several countries were pushing Russian President Vladimir Putin to extend the deal, including Turkey, which helped broker the agreement.
But Moscow repeatedly raised concerns about its implementation.
"Our president raised this issue with President Putin when he met him in Astana," said Ibrahim Kalin, the chief advisor to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "We received more or less a favorable response. But, the Russians are saying that they want to send in their ammonia and fertilizers as well."
To detract from their disastrous handling of the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defence is resorting to peddling false claims of an epic scale
— Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 (@DefenceHQ) October 29, 2022
This invented story, says more about arguments going on inside the Russian Government than it does about the west
Biden says Russia is weaponizing food
In the United States, President Biden took a moment from voting in Delaware, where he accused Moscow of weaponizing food.
"There's no reason for them to do that," Biden said. "But they're always looking for some rationale to be able to say the reason they're doing something outrageous is because the West made them do it."
Caitlin Welsh, a former top adviser in the Obama administration, said Putin knows what he's doing. Given how many countries depend on Russia for exports and fertilizer, they're wary of opposing Moscow when it comes to the war, according to Welsh.
"What we're seeing right now is that Russia is threatening food security for people around the world. It's using that as an instrument," said Welsh, who now runs the Global Food Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "I've never seen food security for millions held hostage by a global superpower — and used as a tool."

SHAWNEE, Ks. — Soccer hopes are high at one Johnson County high school.
Mill Valley (14-1-1) has never won a Kansas state soccer championship, but the highly-ranked Jaguars are still alive in the KSHSAA boys soccer postseason.
One might laugh that defensive behavior is common at Mill Valley. So far, the Jags have won 14 of their 16 matches for the year, earning them the number three spot in this year’s final regular season Kansas State Soccer Coaches Association poll.
“We don’t like to give up goals,” Jason Pendleton, Mill Valley’s second-year coach said. “We would prefer a shutout.”
All coaches would agree with that, but Pendleton, who formerly coached at Blue Valley Southwest, puts a sharp focus on keeping the ball near the opponent’s goal, and making key stops at and near the net. It’s given the Jags eight shutout wins and potentially more.
“I think we are minimizing — or have, for the most part — minimized opponents opportunities against us in the final third. When we’re on, we’re tough to break down,” Pendleton said.
Mill Valley High School has never won a Kansas state boys soccer championship, and its players believe in the mission they’re given.
“Everyone works hard. The chemistry between everyone is good. There’s no hate on this team. Everyone works for each other,” Dylan Ashford, Jaguars Striker, said.
“Going all the way to state. That’s the end goal. As a team, I hope we can stay focused until the end. Sometimes, you can lose focus, but overall, I think we’re going to be pretty well through,” Owen Peachee, Jaguars Centerback, said.
The Jaguars are earning the attention they’re getting as well. MaxPreps ranks them in the top 70 boys soccer teams in the nation, and the third best team in the Sunflower State, but the kind of attention they really crave is the kind you get when you hoist a state championship trophy to call your own.
The Kansas State Soccer Tournament begins on Tuesday for Mill Valley, when the Jaguars meet Shawnee Mission East for a trip to the state Class 6-A Semifinals.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State saw a big jump in the AP Top 25 after their dominant 48-0 win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday.

This is the Wildcats highest ranking since they were ranked number nine during the 2014 season.
Kansas State will now get ready to face the Texas Longhorns on Saturday at 6 p.m. at home. They are currently in second place in the Big 12 at 4-1 and 6-2 overall.

According to Savoia, the men claimed that something was leaking near her vehicle's left rear tire.
"They sprayed my tires with, I believe it was balsamic vinegar, that made it look like it was brake grease. Just to distract me," she said.
Savoia then got out of her vehicle to look for the problem and noticed that the substance did not feel like oil. While she was out of the vehicle, Savoia said that is when the next phase of the scammers' plan went into motion.
"While he was distracting me to get out of the car to look at the tire, there was another guy on the right side of my car. He must have went in and grabbed my wallet out of my purse without me even knowing," she said.
Savoia said she did not realize her wallet was gone until after she got back into her car to call AAA. By then, the two men were long gone.
"I was caught off guard and I feel like a fool for falling for that," she said.
Framingham Deputy Police Chief Sean Riley said officers responded to Savoia's call to police from the Target off Route 30/Cochituate Road.
"Someone may have seen these two individuals in this parking lot ... Call us. Let us know. What you think may not be a lot of information may actually help break a crime," Riley said. "They move around. So this isn't targeted just towards Framingham. They're going to go into the next community over. Into Natick, where there are a lot of shopping plazas. This same crew could be all the way up in Saugus."
Savoia said the scammers tried to use her debit card at a local bank's ATM, but they were unsuccessful since they did not have her PIN. She then canceled her credit cards shortly thereafter.
"The holidays are coming. They're out there. Scammers are out there," Savoia said.
Riley said police are checking video from surveillance cameras in and around the Target parking lot, as well as the bank where the scammers tried to use Savoia's debit card.

Former wide receiver John Stallworth has his finger on the pulse of the Steelers as he has remained close to the team as a part of the Steelers' ownership group. He keeps tabs on what is happening, and likes what he sees from this year's team. And the words he had for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger when I caught up with him in Canton, Ohio, were Hall of Fame worthy.
Here is what Stallworth said about the 2016 season, Roethlisberger and, of course, the team's receivers.
**
On the 2016 Steelers:**
"The sky is the limit. We saw what they did last year when they had people injured and in limited roles. Ben (Roethlisberger) not being Ben because of injuries last year. Then losing running backs and receivers at times and we saw how well they performed. I think they are coming into this season with a world of confidence. I think they are tempering that confidence with experience that says we know we can do this, we know what we can do, but we don't have to get beyond ourselves. I think they will do well in that role. Offensively they rank as one of the best offenses in the league. They have shown that and I think they will show that this season."
On Ben Roethlisberger:
"He is one of the best at it right now. I have been there in the stadium and seen some of those throws he has made, on the money, at the right place. Had it been any other place position wise it would not have been a completion. He has done that, he has done it in the Super Bowl, in the late, waning moments of the Super Bowl hitting a guy in the corner of the end zone. He is a great quarterback, great timing, great arm, great passion and mind for the game.
"We are here, we are in Canton, and if he quits soon enough and I live long enough, I expect to see him here."
On Roethlisberger and the Hall of Fame one day:
"You look at the body of work from season to season, the championships he has been involved with. He has what it takes to be here. I fully expect that to be the case."
**
The Steelers prepare for the Week 4 preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
On receiver Antonio Brown:**
"He has big play written all over him and it can happen at any time. One of the philosophies we had that Chuck Noll taught us was a big play can happen at any time and don't be surprised when it happens. With Antonio you have a big play waiting to happen any time he touches the ball, whether it's a short pass or a long pass, catching a short one and turning it into a big one or on punt returns. He is a big play ready to happen. He is somebody opposing defenses have to take into account and believe me he probably scares the dickens out of them."
On receiver Markus Wheaton:
"Markus can step up his game. He can be as good as he wants to be, as much as he wants to work. I look at Lynn (Swann) and I, two receivers and we competed for the limited amount of passes thrown. There are a lot more passes thrown today. I think Markus is coming into his own and teams have to worry about which guy they are going to cover."
On Sammie Coates:
"Sammie should be better, had a good training camp. He presents a problem down there in the end zone. He has the speed and size that is dangerous. Whenever he catches the ball he has the ability to break tackles and turn a short reception into a long one. He just has to keep working and continue to develop. I think from a receiver standpoint we are in a good situation."
On Lynn Swann taking the job of athletic director at USC:
"I see him doing excellent in that role as athletic director. A person out in front of the public, a person putting on the best image for that University. A person who is passionate about the job he is doing. It's like he has prepared himself his whole life for that role and I think he will do a great job."

Some throwbacks to notable ’90s-era celebrities were standouts as the stars stepped out this weekend in costume for their Halloween festivities.
One couple acknowledged a pair that came before them, when Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly channeled Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, respectively, at the Casamigos Halloween Party Returns in Beverly Hills, California on Friday night. Anderson and Lee gained newfound media attention this year due to the Hulu limited series “Pam & Tommy.”
Josh Duhamel and his wife Audra Mari, meanwhile, appeared to arrive as J. Howard Marshall and Anna Nicole Smith, with Duhamel pulling out all the stops in old age makeup and a walker.
Other celebrities who got double takes at Casamigos included Tyga, who donned a very real-looking prosthetic “E.T.” head and Paris Hilton as Sailor Moon, with the latter also showcasing her look on Instagram.
On the same night elsewhere in the Los Angeles area, Halloween queen Vanessa Hudgens brought Natalie Portman’s “Black Swan” character to life in a regal and gothic look with black feathers galore.
On Instagram, the star to transform the most fully this year was arguably Lizzo, who shared a gallery of photos of her Marge Simpson getup, complete with head-to-toe yellow skin and, of course, a towering blue wig.
Jessica Alba posed with her daughter as the eerie standing-in-a-hotel-hallway twin girls from “The Shining,” and Jennifer Garner got in on the current Halloween Spirit costume bag meme with one featuring her as a “late for the bus mom.”

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams faced off in their second and final gubernatorial debate Sunday night, with a little more than a week to go before Election Day amid record high early voting.
They sparred over the state’s economy, abortion rights and, in a sign of the race’s national implications, whose party should be blamed for the country’s woes.
Kemp has led in most polling of the race, but Abrams – who came within a few thousand votes of pushing their 2018 race to a run-off – has a strong base of support and has succeeded in helping to mobilize Democrats in her campaigns and those of other high-ranking Democratic candidates, including President Joe Biden and Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in their 2020 campaigns.
There are 36 states voting for governor this year, with 20 – including Georgia – being defended by Republicans. The state legislature is controlled by Republicans, who, with Kemp’s sign-off, passed into law three years ago an abortion bill that bans the procedure as early as six weeks of pregnancy with some exceptions. Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned by the Supreme Court, that law is in effect and further restrictions could be on the way.
Abrams fiercely criticized Kemp on the issue, noting his refusal to state clearly whether he would sign off on new legislation from anti-abortion rights Republicans. Kemp, in turn, repeatedly sought to pivot the conversation back to the economy – specifically, inflation and Georgia’s relative prosperity in spite of it – while trying to portray Abrams as a progressive radical who wants to defund the police. (Her position is considerably more complicated.)
Here are five takeaways from the second gubernatorial debate in Georgia:
A tale of two economies
Is Georgia booming, as Kemp says, or nearing a calamitous bust, as Abrams argued?
The candidates painted vastly different portraits of the economic situation in the state, with Kemp pointing to higher wages and low unemployment – and blaming any pain on inflation, which he attributed to Democratic policies in Washington – while Abrams singled out a low minimum wage and Kemp’s refusal to accept Medicaid expansion funds under Obamacare as twin albatrosses being worn by Georgia’s working class.
Kemp summed up his view at the beginning and end of the debate. His closing statement cheered the “lowest unemployment rate in the history of our state,” “the most people ever working in in the history of our state” and “economic opportunity, no matter your zip code or your neighborhood because we’ve been focused on strengthening rural Georgia and many other things.”
Latest in Georgia
Abrams saw something dramatically different.
“The economic pain people are feeling, it’s real,” Abrams said. “As governor I will not only lower costs, I will put more money into the pockets of working Georgians, of middle class Georgians, but I will not do is give tax cuts to the wealthy and the powerful.”
Kemp argued that the state’s one-off billion-dollar tax credit this year was only possible because of his maneuvering during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic, when he was among the first to re-open businesses, and pointed to a recent gas tax holiday as emblematic of his work to make life more affordable for middle class voters.
Where that failed, he tried to shift the blame north – to the White House.
“The problem (facing Georgians) is, (wages are) not going up fast enough to keep up with Joe Biden’s inflation,” Kemp responded when Abrams challenged his depiction of the state’s economic situation.
The future of abortion rights remains a potent issue
In some sense, the abortion debate is at a standstill in Georgia. The state has a law on the books, passed three years ago, that bans the procedure after about six weeks. And with the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, it’s now in effect.
But Abrams, and the debate moderators, had another question for Kemp: with no federal limits in place, would the Republican, if re-elected, sign further restrictions into law?
Kemp didn’t give a straight, yes or no answer, saying he didn’t want to pre-judge “any specific piece of legislation without actually seeing exactly what it’s doing,” before adding: “It’s not my desire to go back, to go move the needle any further.”
“He did not say he wouldn’t,” Abrams responded – underscoring the uncertainty that lingers around the issue, which, as the moderators noted, remains a divisive one in the state, where more than half of those polled in a recent survey support abortion rights.
Abrams framed her argument around concerns over privacy and women’s health, describing abortion as “a medical decision,” one that should only be made by “a doctor and a woman, not a politician.”
Kemp, in a back-and-forth over limits and exceptions, described his own wife’s miscarriage and difficulties they encountered in having children (he now has three daughters).
“It is a tragic, traumatic situation,” he said of miscarriages, pushing back against Abrams’ warning that the state could, under GOP control, end up investigating women who have them under suspicion they might have received an abortion. Kemp denied that women would ever be punished for undergoing the procedure.
Abrams, seeking to tie the issue to broader concerns over access to health care in the state, noted that under the current state law, the ban kicks in “before most women know they’re pregnant” – an especially troubling fact given the diminishing number of OB-GYNs in Georgia.
Joe Biden vs. Herschel Walker?
They’re not running for governor, but they are top of mind for many in Georgia.
For Democrats, it’s GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker, who has become a symbol of what his critics describe as Republican hypocrisy on issues like abortion, support for law enforcement and business acumen.
On the Republican side, President Joe Biden is the go-to boogeyman for most economic issues, with GOP candidates and their surrogates relentlessly trying to tie Democratic nominees to the President and the soaring inflation that’s occurred during his time in office.
“Americans are hurting right now because of a disastrous policy agenda by Joe Biden and the Democrats that have complete control of Washington DC,” Kemp said when his economic record came under attack.
Abrams, in turn, called out Kemp’s support for Walker during their abortion tussle.
“(Kemp) refuses to defend us and yet he defended Herschel Walker, saying that he didn’t want to be involved in the personal life of his running mate, but he doesn’t mind being involved in the personal medical choices of women in Georgia,” Abrams said.
Walker, who said repeatedly in the past that he favors a full abortion ban with no exceptions, faces allegations from two women who say he urged them get abortions. Walker has denied their claims.
Voting rights remain a flashpoint
During their first debate, Abrams said Kemp shouldn’t get too much credit for following the law and not giving in to former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 loss in Georgia.
There was less talk about two years ago this time – and hardly any mention of Trump throughout the night – but voting rights, in particular a new law known as SB 202, came under harsh scrutiny from Abrams.
“The right to vote is sacred to me. … It is an abomination, SB 202, that has allowed racists, White supremacists to challenge the legal authority of citizens to vote,” she said.
In response to news of record early voting turnout, Abrams argued that “the fact that people are voting is in spite of SB 202, not because of it.”
Kemp, like he did in their first debate, accused Abrams of trying to “manipulate and scare people at home” and defended the state as a place where it’s “easy to vote and hard to cheat.”
When asked, both candidates said they would accept the results of the November election, no matter the outcome – a question notable mostly because it has become a staple of campaign debates around the country in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Crime is a big issue – but Kemp and Abrams see different reasons why
The crime debate, both nationally and in statewide races, tends to follow similar tracks.
Republicans blame Democrats for going soft on criminals and hard on police, often invoking the short-lived movement to “defund the police” against their opponents. Democrats push back, touting their support for law enforcement, before pivoting to GOP opposition to new gun restrictions.
And so it went in Georgia on Sunday night.
“Go check the record, because Ms. Abrams on CNN got asked the question, would she defund the police? And she said, yes, we have to reallocate resources. That means defunding the police,” Kemp said.
Abrams denied the claim, saying Kemp was “lying again” about her record – which, indeed, is more nuanced – before turning to the Republican’s record of loosening gun restrictions.
“Guns are the number one killer of our children. We have the ninth highest gun violence rate in the nation. Family violence with guns has gone up 18% under this governor, and his response was to weaken gun laws in the state of Georgia,” Abrams said.
In reality, both Abrams and Kemp have gone out of their way during this campaign to highlight their support for law enforcement. Abrams has proposed $25 million in state grants to local agencies that would go to raise wages for police officers, while Kemp repeatedly touts his support from leading law enforcement officials, the vast majority of whom have endorsed his campaign for a new term.

- AUD/USD witnesses some selling on Friday and snaps a two-day winning streak.
- The emergence of some USD selling exerts some downward pressure on the pair.
- Recession fears, geopolitical tensions further weigh on the risk-sensitive aussie.
- The downside seems cushioned as the focus remains glued to the US NFP report.
The AUD/USD pair struggles to capitalize on its two-day-old recovery move from its lowest level since July 25 and edges lower on Friday. The pair remains on the defensive through the first half of the European session and is currently placed near the daily low, around the 0.6950-0.6945 region.
The US dollar regains some positive traction on the last day of the week, which turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the AUD/USD pair. Against the backdrop of growing recession fears, heightened geopolitical tensions after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit, offer some support to the safe-haven greenback.
In fact, China on Thursday said that it conducted “precision missile strikes” in the Taiwan Strait as part of military exercises. The five missiles fired by China landed within Japan's exclusive economic zone and raises tensions in the region. Furthermore, China said that it will sanction Pelosi and bar her from entering the country.
Apart from this, an uptick in the US Treasury bond yields offers additional support to the buck amid some repositioning trade ahead of the key data risk. The closely-watched US monthly jobs report - popularly known as NFP - is scheduled for release later during the early North American session and would influence the USD price dynamics.
Against the backdrop of more hawkish remarks by several Fed officials this week, stronger US data would revive bets for a large rate hike move at the September FOMC meeting. This would be enough to boost the USD. Conversely, any disappointment would further fuel recession fears and act as a tailwind for the safe-haven buck. This, in turn, suggest that the path of least resistance for the AUD/USD pair is to the downside.

Rates strategist and Senior Economist at ABN Amro offer their take on the August Bank of England (BOE) monetary policy decision.
Key quotes
“The Bank of England (BoE) raised its policy rate by 50bp, which was the biggest increase since 1994 and in line with our and consensus expectations. This brought the bank rate to 1.75% and serves as the sixth consecutive rate hike.”
“The vote split indicates that the MPC committee was almost fully aligned this time with 8-1 MPC members that voted for a 50bp rate increase.”
“During the press conference, BoE Governor Bailey highlighted the exceptional high uncertainty surrounding the BoE’s forecasts and as such, the BoE will follow the ECB and the Fed's path of setting policy ‘’meeting-by-meeting’’. “
“Bailey stated that the BoE has moved from a system of ‘’predictive forward guidance to a framework that is not predictive’’. Therefore, ‘all options are on the table’ for future meetings.”
“The August report offers a much darker economic outlook for the UK compared to the previous report published in May.”
“Inflation is now expected to peak at 13.3% in 2022Q4 and remain elevated for longer than anticipated, with inflation at 9.5% (vs 5.9% prev) in 2023Q3. “

- EUR/USD loses the grip and slips back to the 1.0220 region.
- Industrial Production in Italy surprised to the downside in June.
- The NFP is expected at 250K jobs in July.
Sellers seem to have regain the initiative around the single currency and drag EUR/USD back to the low-1.0200s at the end of the week.
EUR/USD focuses on US data
EUR/USD resumes the downside and trims part of Thursday’s noticeable advance on the back of the renewed buying interest around the greenback, while yields on both sides of the ocean remain depressed so far.
Indeed, the appetite for the risk-associated assets appears somewhat subdued on Friday, as usual cautiousness pre-NFP dominates the sentiment among market participants.
In the domestic data space, Italian Industrial Production contracted 2.1% MoM in June and 1.2% from a year earlier. In France, the Industrial Production expanded 1.4% MoM also in June and the trade deficit widened to €13.7B in the same month.
Other than the monthly labour market report, the US docket will include the Consumer Credit Change figures for the month of June and the speech by Richmond Fed T.Barkin.
What to look for around EUR
EUR/USD remains within a choppy range this week ahead of the key release of US Nonfarm Payrolls for the month of July.
Price action around the European currency, in the meantime, is expected to closely follow dollar dynamics, geopolitical concerns, fragmentation worries and the Fed-ECB divergence.
On the negatives for the single currency emerges the so far increasing speculation of a potential recession in the region, which looks propped up by dwindling sentiment readings among investors and the renewed downtrend in some fundamentals.
Eminent issues on the back boiler: Continuation of the ECB hiking cycle. Italian elections in late September. Fragmentation risks amidst the ECB’s normalization of monetary conditions. Impact of the war in Ukraine on the region’s growth prospects and inflation.
EUR/USD levels to watch
So far, spot is retreating 0.16% at 1.0228 and faces the next contention at 1.0096 (weekly low July 26) followed by 1.0000 (psychological level) and finally 0.9952 (2022 low July 14). On the other hand, the break above 1.0293 (monthly high August 2) would target 1.0404 (55-day SMA) en route to 1.0615 (weekly high June 27).

- Gold edges lower on Friday and erodes a part of the overnight gains to a one-month high.
- A modest USD strength turns out to be a key factor exerting some pressure on the metal.
- Recession fears, geopolitical tensions should limit losses ahead of the key US NFP report.
Gold attracts some sellers on Friday and erodes a part of the previous day's strong move up to the $1,795 region, or a one-month high. The XAU/USD remains depressed around the $1,785 zone through the first half of the European session and for now, seems to have snapped a two-day winning streak.
The US dollar regains some positive traction on the last day of the week, which is turning out to be a key factor exerting some downward pressure on the dollar-denominated gold. The modest USD uptick, meanwhile, could be attributed to some repositioning trade ahead of the closely-watched US monthly jobs data, due for release later during the early North American session.
In the meantime, subdued action around the US bond markets is likely to act as a headwind for the USD and lend support to the non-yielding yellow metal. Despite hawkish remarks by several Fed officials this week, investors continue pushing back against the idea of a larger rate hike at the September FOMC meeting. This, in turn, has been weighing on the US bond yields.
Apart from this, growing recession fears, along with China-Taiwan tensions over US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to the island, should limit the downside for the safe-haven gold. In fact, China on Thursday conducted missile strikes in the Taiwan Strait. The five missiles landed within Japan's exclusive economic zone and raises tensions in the region.
Investors might also refrain from placing aggressive bets and prefer to wait for a fresh catalyst from the US NFP report. The data will play a key role in influencing the near-term USD price dynamics and provide a fresh directional impetus to gold. This makes it prudent to wait for strong follow-through selling before confirming that the XAU/USD has topped out.

US monthly jobs report overview
Friday's US economic docket highlights the release of the closely-watched US monthly jobs data for July. The popularly known NFP report is scheduled for release at 12:30 GMT and is expected to show that the economy added 250K jobs during the reported month, down from the 372K in June. The unemployment rate, however, is expected to hold steady at 3.6% in July. Apart from this, investors will take cues from Average Hourly Earnings, which could offer fresh insight into the possibility of a further rise in inflationary pressures.
According to Yohay Elam, Senior Analyst at FXStreet, "real or "whisper" estimates for the NFP stand at around 300,000 or even 350,000. A higher bar means a greater chance for disappointment." Nevertheless, any divergence from the expected readings would infuse some volatility and produce some meaningful trading opportunities in the FX market.
How could the data affect EUR/USD?
Heading into the key release, the US dollar regains some positive traction on Friday and exerts some downward pressure on the EUR/USD pair. Against the backdrop of the hawkish remarks by several Fed officials this week, a stronger NFP print would revive bets for a large rate hike move at the September FOMC meeting and lift the buck.
Conversely, a weaker reading would add to worries about a possible global economic downturn and continue to benefit the safe-haven greenback. This, along with the energy crisis in Europe, which might drag the Eurozone economy faster and deeper into recession, suggests that the path of least resistance for the EUR/USD pair is to the downside.
Eren Sengezer, Editor at FXStreet, outlines important technical levels to trade the EUR/USD pair: “First technical support seems to have formed at 1.0200, where the 20-period and the 50-period SMAs on the four-hour chart align. If the pair drops below that level and starts using it as resistance, 1.0150 (Fibonacci 23.6% retracement of the latest downtrend) and 1.0100 (psychological level, static level) could be seen as the next bearish targets.”
“On the other hand, interim resistance is located at 1.0230 (Fibonacci 38.2% retracement) before 1.0260 (100-period SMA). A four-hour close below the latter could be seen as a significant bullish development and trigger another leg higher toward 1.0300 (psychological level, Fibonacci 50% retracement),” Eren adds further.
Key Notes
• Nonfarm Payrolls Preview: High expectations set deal the dollar a blow, create buying opportunity
• EUR/USD Forecast: Upbeat NFP could drag euro back below 1.0200
• EUR/USD appears offered near 1.0220 prior to Payrolls
About the US monthly jobs report
The nonfarm payrolls released by the US Department of Labor presents the number of new jobs created during the previous month, in all non-agricultural business. The monthly changes in payrolls can be extremely volatile, due to its high relation with economic policy decisions made by the Central Bank. The number is also subject to strong reviews in the upcoming months, and those reviews also tend to trigger volatility in the forex board. Generally speaking, a high reading is seen as positive (or bullish) for the USD, while a low reading is seen as negative (or bearish), although previous months reviews and the unemployment rate are as relevant as the headline figure.

49ers assistants on Trey Lance’s progress, Javon Kinlaw’s return, Fred Warner’s fire (paywall)
“One of the contenders, Tanner Hudson, is an excellent pass catcher. In fact, tight ends coach Brian Fleury said Hudson might have the best hands on the entire roster, an argument supported by two circus catches he made this week.”
49ers’ Emmanuel Moseley seeks to help Trey Lance, stop Brandon Aiyuk
“I think we have the best defense in the league, so if he can make plays against us, I know he can make plays on other people,” Moseley shared. “But whatever I’m seeing, I go up to him in the locker room and maybe tell him what I saw on film. ‘Hey, this is what I saw. This is why I did this, because I saw you do this.’ You know, little things like that [which] can help him out, that can definitely take his game to the next level.”
“According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, the team also worked out three players. They are offensive linemen Jordan Mills, Tyree St. Louis, and Caleb Benenoch.”
Lombardi: How Darqueze Dennard’s 18 clutch snaps helped forge 49ers’ nickelback outlook (paywall)
“Cooper Kupp had an excellent year last year and he’s a great player, but I was up to the task,” Dennard said. “I was ready to go. I have been blessed. I’ve seen and I’ve practiced with two Hall of Fame receivers in A.J. Green and Julio Jones. So being able to see two guys day in and day out work every day and compete with them every day, that’s stayed with me.
Branch: Why Trent Williams, the 49ers’ $138 million man, has become a bargain (paywall)
“Yes, the 320-pound nine-time Pro Bowl selection known for his violent treatment of defensive linemen doubles as a diplomat with a deft touch. Williams supported and counseled a disgruntled teammate while maintaining a strong relationship with management.”
“We all trust in Trey”: Charvarius Ward says 49ers’ Lance will be a great NFL QB
“He’s got to work. He’s got to grow. All us got to do that. But I feel like Trey is going to be a great quarterback in the NFL. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. He’s confident in himself just like I’m confident in myself, and we all believe in him. We all trust in Trey.”
Charvarius Ward: 49ers secondary being overlooked; Brandon Aiyuk having a great camp
“B.A. be having a great camp,” Ward said. “I love competing against B.A. He’s got big hands, long arms, and he can jump like almost 60 inches in the air. He’s great to compete against. ... I got big hands. His hands are bigger than mine. B.A. got the potential to be one of those great receivers. He can be a real wide receiver No. 1.
He can run routes, go balls, he can catch slants, short passes, everything. He’s got that potential. He’s just got to continue to work on his game.”

The latest Storm Tracker Forecast from meteorologists Jill Szwed and Matt Mackie.
Happy Friday! Yesterday was the Capital Region’s hottest day in 11 years! The extreme heat broke records in Albany and Bennington. And it wasn’t just the heat, the high humidity made it feel like a sauna. Maximum heat indices were well north of the century mark. Chatham felt like 111° Thursday afternoon!
Some good news – it won’t be as hot today. The bad news – the steamy air mass isn’t going anywhere. “Air you can wear” will stick around into the start of next week. It’s going to be another rough stretch.
Another Heat Advisory for the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and southern Berkshire County today. The advisory goes into effect at 12 PM and will run through 8 PM. Even though temperatures won’t be as hot, the very high humidity will make it feel like 95° to 100° in the shade. It will feel downright toasty with any breaks for sun.
Just like yesterday, the heat, the humidity, and a stalled front through the Adirondacks and the North Country will produce afternoon storms. These storms and downpours will be fairly hit or miss, but could easily turn intense. Very heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible.
The steamy air will keep daily storm chances on repeat into early next week. The weekend won’t be a washout but you’ll want to watch the sky for storms to pop up during the second part of the day.
The steamy and unsettled pattern will break down on Tuesday as a front pushes through the area. Temperatures will drop from the 90s to the mid 80s. Maybe better news, humidity levels will be cut way back by the middle of next week.
