PITTSFIELD, Mass. (NEWS10) — A recent announcement from the Public Health Advisory for Pontoosuc Lake has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae bloom at Pontoosuc Lake. The algae may cause harmful health effects for users of the lake.
On September 10, algae test results confirmed blue-green bloom at Pontoosuc Lake. Massachusetts Department of Public Health is issuing a public health advisory.
- Do not swim
- Do not swallow water
- Keep animals away
- Rise off after contact with water
Blue-green algae or Cyanobacteria cause no apparent harm in ordinary circumstances. However, warmer water temperatures and high nutrient concentrations may induce a rapid increase in their abundance. This response is commonly called a “bloom” because algal biomass increases to the extent that normally clear water becomes cloudy.
Harmful health effects from the bloom can result from skin contact with the algae-tainted water, swallowing the water, and when airborne droplets are inhaled. Pets can also suffer harmful effects from skin contact and from ingesting large amounts of the toxin by licking their wet fur after leaving the water. Warning signs have been posted around the lake.
Avoid these activities
- Fish consumption
- Canoeing
- Rowing
- Sailing
- Kayaking
- Paddle Boarding
- Motor Boating
- Water Sports of any kind
- Any contact with the water
Health outcomes of concern
- Irritations of the skin, eyes or ears
- GI problems like vomiting and diarrhea
- Muscle cramps
- In extreme cases, nerve or liver problems
If you or your pet accidentally come in contact with algae-tainted water then thoroughly rinse off with clean water. If you experience any of the symptoms of blue-green algae exposure (listed above) contact your health care provider or call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. If your pet experiences symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately. The community will be notified of bloom dissipation when it happens. | https://www.news10.com/news/berkshire-county/health-advisory-for-pontoosuc-lake/ | 2022-09-10T18:01:30 | en | 0.909938 |

(NerdWallet) – Bringing a child into your family is a big decision, emotionally and financially. The process can be long and cost anywhere from less than $1,000 to more than $50,000. Here’s a breakdown of the different ways you can grow your family through adoption — and how much you could expect to spend.
How much does adoption cost?
The cost of adoption depends on the type of adoption you pursue. As you consider how you might want to move forward, keep in mind there are several ways to pay for adoption, from fundraisers and grants to personal loans.
Public agency adoption
How it works: Adopting children through the public welfare system often means beginning as a foster parent. Each state has its own agency, which oversees licensing, education, placement and support for adoptive families.
What it costs: Adoption from foster care is a low-cost option for parents. Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the Children’s Bureau under the federal Office of the Administration for Children and Families, characterizes foster care adoption as “virtually free of cost.” The majority of foster adoptions cost less than $1,000, according to the most recent Adoptive Families magazine adoption cost survey conducted in 2016-17.
This path to adoption is inexpensive because of state and federal adoption assistance programs put in place to make it more accessible and appealing to adopt children who are in foster care. These children are often older and may have experienced trauma or have special needs.
Helpful resource: The Children’s Bureau offers a state-by-state guide to adoption assistance.
Private adoption
How it works: Parents can work with an adoption agency or attorney to find and adopt children in the U.S. Generally, the process of adopting a child is similar whether you work through a private agency or independently with the help of an attorney. It involves a home study, placement, counseling, training and legal documentation.
What it costs: The cost of a private adoption varies. Working with an agency, you can expect to spend between $30,000 and $60,000, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway. It’s slightly less expensive to pursue an independent adoption, which involves working with an attorney. That process ranges in cost from $25,000 to $45,000. Private adoptions are more likely to involve newborns. That means in addition to paying for the adoption process, you would also cover the birth mother’s medical and other expenses.
Intercountry adoption
How it works: This path involves working with private or public adoption agencies in countries outside the United States. The process and fees vary by country and depend on the organization you work with, which could be a government office, agency, orphanage, nonprofit or an individual like an attorney. Some aspects of the process are unique. You’ll have to work through the immigration process, including applying for passports and travel visas, and navigate foreign legal systems. The road can be long. Child Welfare Information Gateway estimates intercountry adoption can take one to five years to complete.
What it costs: On average, intercountry adoption costs $20,000 to $50,000.
Expenses that may arise when adopting a child
Home study
A home study marks the beginning of the adoption process.
During a home study, prospective parents — and their family members — are checked out to make sure they would provide a safe and loving place for a child. A home study requires you to produce documents, including financial statements, employment records and a letter from your doctor about your latest physical. You’d also undergo background checks and interviews. This evaluation phase can cost from $2,000 to $4,000, according to The Gladney Center for Adoption, an adoption agency based in Fort Worth, Texas. That price may be adjusted based on your family’s income.
This step in the process also includes education and training. Some of it may be provided by the state agency that administers the home study at a cost ranging from $300 to $600. Additional hours of training are likely required and would be done on your own through books or online courses, which can cost $100 to $200 per person.
Lastly, during the home study, you’ll agree to a post-placement reporting phase. In the United States, a social worker visits the family multiple times over a six-month period after the child has been placed in the home. Fees for post-placement reporting can range from $1,500 to $2,000.
Search fees
When working with a private agency or an attorney, a major expense in the process goes to searching for and getting matched with a birth mother. Fees for a consultant and advertising may be rolled into an adoption agency’s overall fee. But if you’re pursuing an independent adoption, you’ll likely pay for these services separately and costs can range more widely, depending on how and where you want to advertise. The Gladney Center estimates consulting and advertising can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for an independent adoption.
Birth mother expenses
People adopting a newborn will be responsible for paying the birth mother’s expenses. This can include medical bills and some living expenses, as well as counseling, legal fees and travel. The Gladney Center estimates these expenses can cost between $6,000 and $8,000 for parents pursuing a private adoption.
Legal fees
There are a lot of legal requirements in adoption, including terminating the rights of the birth parents, court filings, negotiating birth mother expenses and finalizing the adoption after the post-placement reporting period. An adoption agency may roll some of these expenses into its overall fee.
If you’re pursuing an independent adoption, legal fees will be the bulk of your expenses, costing between $7,000 and $15,000.
Travel
Travel costs can crop up for domestic adoptions, though they’re most significant in intercountry adoptions. Distance is a key factor in how much you’ll pay for travel. Another is time. You might be waiting days or weeks for the final legal approval to bring a child home, especially when crossing state lines or country borders.
For private domestic adoptions, you could pay up to $3,000 in travel expenses, according to the Gladney Center. (You could look at getting a travel credit card to offset some of those expenses.)
Estimates vary for intercountry adoption-related travel. The cost can depend on the country where the child is living and the organization you’re working with. In a cost estimate on its website, New Beginnings — an international adoption agency based in New York — says the adoption of a child in South Korea could include $6,000 to $9,000 in travel expenses. The Child Welfare Information Gateway advised in a September 2020 intercountry adoption guide that adoptive parents are often required to be in the child’s country to finalize the adoption. It may require multiple, extended visits.
Raising a child
Adoption in itself can be a long and expensive process, but that’s only a precursor to the full cost of raising a child. New parents should budget for those expenses, which can top $21,000 in the first year alone. | https://www.news10.com/news/national/how-much-does-it-cost-to-adopt-a-child/ | 2022-09-10T18:01:36 | en | 0.952885 |
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A fiery crash between a tank truck carrying fuel and a passenger bus Saturday has left at least nine people dead in northern Mexico.
Police in the northern border state of Tamaulipas said the collision left both vehicles completely burned. Police photos showed the bus was reduced to a tangle of smoking, charred metal.
The death toll could rise as more charred remains are recovered. The crash occurred before dawn Saturday on a highway that leads to the northern city of Monterrey.
The driver of the fuel truck apparently survived and is under investigation. The bus had apparently set out from the central state of Hidalgo and was headed to Monterrey.
The truck was carrying two fuel tanks in tandem, and such double-container freight trucks have been involved in numerous deadly crashes in the past.
Because weight restrictions and safety inspections in Mexico are lax, there have been calls in the past to ban such extremely heavy and unwieldy trucks. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Fiery-crash-of-bus-fuel-tanker-truck-kills-9-in-17432564.php | 2022-09-10T18:01:37 | en | 0.980272 |

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Southern Californians welcomed cooler temperatures and spotty rain Saturday from a tropical storm veering off the Pacific Coast days after a relentless heat wave nearly overwhelmed the state's electrical grid.
Officials braced for flooding in coastal and mountain areas from the storm and feared powerful winds could expand the massive Fairview Fire about 75 miles (121 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. But minimal flooding was reported early Saturday and crews made significant progress on the fire and said they expected full containment on Monday. More than 10,000 homes and other structures have been threatened by the blaze.
The National Weather Service forecast an end to the grueling heat wave in the Los Angeles area Saturday though heat and wind advisories remained in effect through the evening, and warned of possible flooding in mountain areas and some beach communities. In San Diego County, inland areas such as Mt. Laguna and Julian received several inches of rain while coastal communities got less than an inch, the National Weather Service reported.
With flooding possible, officials in coastal cities posted warning signs and made sandbags available to the public. In Orange County's Seal Beach, a beach parking lot had minor flooding Friday from the high tide, authorities said.

Hurricane Kay made landfall near Mexico’s Bahia Asuncion in Baja California Sur state Thursday, but it quickly weakened into a tropical storm by the time it reached Southern California. The tropical conditions added a swelter to the heat wave that saw temperatures soar past 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) in many parts of California this week.
Some residents welcomed the respite from unusually high temperatures.
“The heat was killer, so for now this feels good,” Charles Jenkins said as rain fell Friday in San Diego.
While firefighters made progress against the Fairview Fire, the fast-moving Mosquito Fire in the foothills east of Sacramento grew overnight to at least 51 square miles (134 square kilometers) and threatened 3,600 homes in Placer and El Dorado counties, while blanketing the region in smoke. Structures have burned in the mountain hamlet of Volcanoville and more than 5,700 people in the area have been evacuated, authorities said.
September already has produced one of the hottest and longest heat waves on record for California and some other Western states. Nearly 54 million people were under heat warnings and advisories across the region this week as temperature records were shattered in many areas.
California’s state capital of Sacramento hit an all-time high Tuesday of 116 degrees (46.7 C), breaking a 97-year-old record. Salt Lake City tied its all-time high temperature Wednesday at 107 degrees (41.6 C).
On Tuesday, as air conditioners whirred amid the stifling heat, California set a record for power consumption and authorities nearly instituted rolling blackouts when the electrical grid capacity was at its breaking point.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in state history.
On Saturday, fire officials said they'd been unable to corral any part of the Mosquito Fire so far. It has burned near the town of Foresthill, home to about 1,500 people, where David Hance slept on the porch of his mother’s mobile home when he woke up to a glowing red sky early Wednesday morning and was ordered to evacuate.
“It was actually fricking terrifying, cause they say, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s coming closer,’” he said. “It was like sunset in the middle of the night.”
Smoke from the wildfire has spread for miles. In the San Francisco Bay Area, air quality regulators extended a smoke advisory through Saturday, while organizers of the Tour de Tahoe canceled the annual 72-mile (115-km) bicycle ride scheduled Sunday around Lake Tahoe because of the heavy smoke from the blaze — more than 50 miles (80 km) away. Last year’s ride was canceled due to smoke from another big fire south of Tahoe.
The Mosquito Fire’s cause remained under investigation. Pacific Gas & Electric said unspecified “electrical activity” occurred close in time to the report of the fire on Tuesday.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — At least three Afghan crew members were killed Saturday when a U.S.-manufactured Black Hawk helicopter they were flying crashed, the Taliban’s defense ministry said.
The statement said that five others were wounded in the accident during a training session overseen by Afghanistan's defense ministry at the capital of Kabul.
It is not known how many U.S. choppers remain in the hands of the Taliban government. As the U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed in mid-August last year, dozens of Afghan pilots fled to Central Asian countries, including Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Afghan air force pilots played a key role, alongside their U.S. counterparts, in the 20-year war against Taliban insurgents that ended with the departure of foreign troops last year. The airstrikes inflicted heavy casualties among the Taliban and repeatedly drove them from positions they had seized in different parts of the country.
Last year about 140 Afghan pilots and others were flown out of Tajikistan then to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and their final destination in the U.S.
Separately, three civilians were wounded when a bicycle bomb exploded in Kabul, said Khalid Zadran, spokesman for the the capital's police chief.
The attack occurred in the Shai neighborhood and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.
Recently, the Islamic State group has claimed similar attacks in the country. IS has waged a bloody campaign of attacks on Taliban targets and minority groups, particularly Shiites whom the extremist IS considers heretics. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Helicopter-crash-kills-3-in-Kabul-during-training-17432513.php | 2022-09-10T18:01:49 | en | 0.974132 |

LONDON — Thousands of people from across Britain and the world packed into the streets outside St. James Palace in London on Saturday morning in hopes of catching a glimpse of King Charles III as he was officially proclaimed this country's newest monarch.
Spectators began gathering around 9 a.m. as police set up barricades and media members began positioning their cameras toward this historic palace. Which has hosted the centuries-old proclamation ceremony since 1536.
This was the first time in history the event was televised.
Among those in the crowd was Jane Gould Smith. The 66-year-old from Lingfield Surrey, England, came with her daughter to witness one of the many moments of history that have been unfolding here since Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday.
"It's a privilege to be here and be so close to where history is being made," she said.
As archbishops and prime ministers entered the historic palace, crowds here clamored with their phones and cameras to capture images of the dignitaries as they passed by.
At one time, they even broke out into the country's national anthem, "God Save the King," with its wording reverting to verses last sung 70 years ago before Queen Elizabeth II took power.
"This is something many of us have not seen and will never see again," Gould Smith said. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/charles-iii-officially-proclaimed-king-at-ceremony-that-draws-spectators-worldwide | 2022-09-10T18:01:52 | en | 0.98427 |

NEWARK, Del. (AP) — A woman suspected of shooting another woman at a Delaware apartment complex was critically wounded by police who confronted her, authorities said.
The armed woman was firing a gun when two officers encountered her at the apartment complex in Newark on Friday night, the New Castle County police department said in a news release.
Both officers opened fire on the woman, hitting her in the chest, police said. She was taken to a hospital, where she was in critical condition, according to the release.
Investigators believe the woman had shot a 26-year-old woman during an argument. The other woman also was in critical condition at a hospital, police said.
Neither woman's name was immediately released.
Both officers who fired their weapons were placed on administrative leave, a standard procedure, the Delaware News Journal reported. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Officials-Woman-wounded-by-police-after-she-shot-17432486.php | 2022-09-10T18:02:01 | en | 0.986195 |

LONDON (AP) — Palace officials say the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will take place on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey in London after the public gets an opportunity to pay their last respects to the monarch.
Elizabeth, the nation’s longest-reigning sovereign, died Thursday at her summer retreat in the Scottish Highlands.
Details on the 96-year-old queen’s funeral will be released later, but organizers on Saturday described the ceremony as “a fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.’’
Palace officials said there would be opportunities to see the late sovereign’s oak coffin as it journeys from Balmoral Castle in Scotland to Edinburgh and again in London, where her body will lie in state for four days starting Wednesday. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/world/queen-elizabeth-iis-funeral-on-sept-19-at-westminster-abbey | 2022-09-10T18:02:04 | en | 0.946676 |

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Campers at a state park in Oregon had to evacuate after a wildfire ignited and thousands in the state remained without power Saturday after utilities did targeted shutoffs in an effort to lessen the danger in dry and windy conditions.
Late Friday night, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office announced the evacuation order from Milo McIver State Park, which is about 24 miles (38.6 kilometers) southeast of Portland. Early Saturday morning, residents in several communities west of the park were told to be ready to evacuate.
In hopes of lessening the risk of more fires, Portland General Electric initially halted power to about 30,000 customers in 12 service areas but that number increased to more than 37,000 by Saturday. Pacific Power shut down service to more than 7,000 customers in a small community on the Pacific Coast, where a wildfire burned two years ago, and in pockets southeast of the state capitol of Salem. The number of Pacific Power customers without service increased to 12,000 on Saturday.
The largest fire in Oregon is the Double Creek Fire burning in the northeastern part of the state near the Idaho border. As of Saturday, the fire had burned more than 230 square miles (595 square kilometers). The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center said that the fire grew by 65 square miles (168 square kilometers) overnight.
In central Oregon, the Cedar Creek Fire east of Oakridge has burned nearly 81 square miles (210 square kilometers). On Friday, officials ordered residents to immediately leave the greater Oakridge, Westfir and High Prairie areas due to increased fire activity.
The Van Meter Fire, which started Wednesday, is burning on Stukel Mountain about 13 miles (21 kilometers) southeast of Klamath Falls. One home and four structures have been destroyed and about 260 structures are threatened by that blaze, officials said.
In Washington state, the Goat Rocks Fire, south of Mount Rainier National Park, was started by lightning and has led to the closure of U.S. Highway 12 and the evacuation of neighborhoods east of the city of Packwood. Evacuations were also issued for several communities in Cowlitz County in response to the Kalama fire in Gifford Pinchot National Forest southwest of Mount St. Helens.
A red flag warming in Washington remains in effect through Sunday night, meaning that high temperatures, low humidity and strong winds will complicate fire conditions.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — There likely will be a moment Sunday — maybe a few — when Robert Saleh looks up into the stands at MetLife Stadium and is reminded of how many lives were instantly changed 21 years ago.
Including his own.
Saleh's New York Jets will open the NFL regular season against the Baltimore Ravens at home — just across the Hudson River from where hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks.
Football will be played Sunday, but all the cheers won't mean anyone has forgotten. Certainly not Saleh, whose oldest brother, David, narrowly escaped the south tower that day.
There were 2,750 others in lower Manhattan who never went home.
And chances are, many of the fans rooting for the Jets — in the stands and at home — to beat Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Sunday have been mourning personal losses since that day.
“There’s no doubt. It’s amplified because it is 9/11 in this city,” Robert Saleh said. “Not so much for me, but for the people who are in the thick of it. Obviously, I know it’s documented about my brother, but I heard stories this week about the cars being at (the Meadowlands) for months afterward because no one could pick them up. And then the Long Island train stations and the tragedies that led up to this.”
Saleh was only 22 on Sept. 11, 2001, and just starting out in the financial business in Detroit. His brother was training as a financial adviser in New York City.
As Saleh and his family watched on TV as the attacks unfolded there, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, they prayed, hoped and begged for David to be OK.
Several agonizing hours later, David called.
He made it.
Robert, who thought he lost his big brother, immediately began contemplating his own life and career path. After a few more months trudging through the financial world, the former college tight end knew he needed to chase his dream.
He wanted to be a coach.
That two-decade journey began at Michigan State and brought him to Central Michigan, Georgia, the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers before he became an NFL head coach for the first time last year with the Jets.
“I’m supposed to be here and I believe that God does things for a reason,” Saleh said after he was hired. “And I believe this is one of them.”
His debut with the Jets last year — Sept. 12 at Carolina — coincided with the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
This year, he'll be standing on the sideline in a stadium filled with fans predominantly from the New York/New Jersey area exactly 21 years since that day.
“I think it’s very personal for a lot of people and I think that passion is felt country-wide, not just in New York,” Saleh said Friday. “But it’s a little bit more important here and you know that (Sunday) means a lot more than just a football game to a lot of people in the stands.
"That’s why I think that’s what's going to make Sunday pretty cool.”
Sports became a method of healing and a source of unity when they returned to stadiums across the country a few weeks after the attacks.
And they have continued to do so in the years since, particularly during the days surrounding the anniversary. That's something not lost on Ravens coach John Harbaugh.
“We’re going up to New York, going to be in the Meadowlands, it’s going to be 9/11,” Harbaugh said. “It’s a great honor to be chosen to go up there and play on 9/11. We take it very seriously, that part of it.
"We know the environment, we know how loud it’s going to be, we know how enthusiastic they’re going to be, their demeanor. They’re going to be into it. We have to match that as best we can.”
There will be poignant moments of silence before the game.
And very likely some tears.
A 100-yard American flag will be unfurled on the field by members of the New York Police Department, New York City Fire Department and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department.
The Jets will then begin a new game day tradition by having fans sing the national anthem. It will be led by NYPD officer Brianna Fernandez, whose late father, Luis, was a 23-year veteran of the NYPD who helped in the rescue and recovery efforts.
A stadium again will be filled with voices united by tragedy and bonded by football.
“I know y’all like to tailgate. I would appreciate it if you all get out there early, get in there early,” Saleh said, directing his message to the fans. “I would love if everyone sang the national anthem. Don’t just listen to it, just sing it.
"I think it’s the coolest thing when the stadium sings it. I think it’s going to be electric.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police in Las Vegas say a person was killed and a patrol officer was wounded in an exchange of gunfire during a foot chase following a vehicle stop early Saturday several blocks east of the Strip.
Capt. Carlos Hank said the officer was taken to University Medical Center in stable condition after the shooting about 1:15 a.m. near Flamingo Center and University Center Drive.
In a video statement, Hank said one person ran from an SUV that had been stopped by police, and both the officer and suspect were shot during an exchange of gunfire.
The suspect was pronounced dead at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, Hank said.
Additional details of the encounter — including the identity of the people involved, the number of people in the vehicle and the reason for the traffic stop — were not immediately made public.
The shooting was the eighth involving Las Vegas police in 2022, Hank said. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Vegas-police-Suspect-dead-officer-wounded-in-17432581.php | 2022-09-10T18:02:26 | en | 0.990694 |

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Though it’s not the contract extension Jordan Poyer was seeking, the Buffalo Bills increased the amount of bonus incentives the starting safety can earn this season.
Poyer’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed the agreement being reached on Saturday, with his client now eligible to make as much as $2 million in bonuses — up from $500,000 — in the final year of his contract. ESPN.com first reported the deal.
The agreement comes after Poyer lobbied for a contract extension since changing agents by hiring Rosenhaus in April. The 31-year-old emphasized his point by skipping the Bills' voluntary spring practices.
In July, Poyer expressed hope a contract extension could be reached after Rosenhaus attended the start of Bills training camp to meet with general manager Brandon Beane.
Poyer is a 10-year veteran and in his sixth year with Buffalo, where he and Micah Hyde have become one of the NFL's top starting tandems since both signed with the team in 2017.
Poyer is off to a solid start already after registering one of Buffalo’s three interceptions in a 31-10 season-opening win at the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. He started after missing the final month of training camp with a hyperextended left elbow.
Last season, Poyer earned All-Pro honors by finishing tied for fourth in the NFL among safeties with five interceptions while also adding three sacks. Overall, he has 21 career interceptions, seven fumble recoveries and 11 sacks.
The Bills are in part handcuffed by salary-cap constraints, and last week passed over Poyer by signing tight end Dawson Knox to a four-year contract extension.
Last month, Poyer said he would leave contract talks up to his agent and the team while he focuses on football.
“I’m just here. I want to continue to play football and play my best football in Buffalo for as long as I can, however long that may be,” Poyer said. “I’m here with the guys right now, and I’m ready to attack this season.”

Margaritaville at Sea offers free paradise cruise for military, first responders and educators
(Gray News) - A popular cruise line says it’s honoring frontline workers by helping cover their select cruise fare to the Bahamas.
The Margaritaville at Sea cruise line recently announced a “Heroes Sail Free” program.
According to a news release, the program provides one free cruise to the Bahamas for U.S. military service members, police, emergency medical service workers and educators.
“Welcome aboard, heroes, with a big thank you for your service,” said singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. “Now, we feel honored to serve you at sea.”
The cruise line said the three-day, two-night getaway starts from the Port of Palm Beach and sails to Freeport in the Bahamas aboard its Margaritaville at Sea Paradise cruise ship.
According to the company, its flagship vessel features several gourmet foods and beverage options, spa treatments and much more.
“To show our sincere gratitude for their ongoing service, we wanted to offer these frontline heroes a chance to kick off their boots and work shoes and flip flop into a relaxing getaway,” said Kevin Sheehan, Jr., CEO of Margaritaville at Sea.
The cruise program is a partnership between Margaritaville at Sea and GovX.com, the largest military and government e-commerce site.
The cruise line said the program is running through Dec. 29, 2023.

Marsha Hunt, ‘40s star and blacklist victim, dies at 104
TORONTO (AP) — Marsha Hunt, one of the last surviving actors from Hollywood’s so-called Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s who worked with performers ranging from Laurence Olivier to Andy Griffith in a career disrupted for a time by the McCarthy-era blacklist, has died. She was 104.
Hunt, who appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, died Wednesday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, said Roger Memos, the writer-director of the 2015 documentary “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity.”
A Chicago native, she arrived in Hollywood in 1935 and over the next 15 years appeared in dozens of films, from the Preston Sturges comedy “Easy Living” to the adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” that starred Olivier and Greer Garson.
She was well under 40 when MGM named her “Hollywood’s Youngest Character Actress.” And by the early 1950s, she was enough of a star to appear on the cover of Life magazine and seem set to thrive in the new medium of television when suddenly “the work dried up,” she recalled in 1996.
The reason, she learned from her agent, was that the communist-hunting Red Channels publication had revealed that she attended a peace conference in Stockholm and other supposedly suspicious gatherings. Alongside Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Danny Kaye, Hunt also went to Washington in 1947 to protest the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was conducting a witch hunt for communists in the film industry.
“I’d made 54 movies in my first 16 years in Hollywood,” Hunt said in 1996. “In the last 45 years, I’ve made eight. That shows what a blacklist can do to a career.”
Hunt concentrated on the theater, where the blacklist was not observed, until she began occasionally getting film work again in the late 1950s. She appeared in the touring companies of “The Cocktail Party,” “The Lady’s Not for Burning” and “The Tunnel of Love,” and on Broadway in “The Devil’s Disciple,” “Legend of Sarah″ and “The Paisley Convertible.”
Marcia Virginia Hunt (she changed the spelling of her first name later) was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City, daughter of a lawyer-insurance executive and a voice teacher. Slender and stylish, with a warm smile and large, expressive eyes, Hunt studied drama and worked as a model before making her film debut.
An early marriage to director Jerry Hopper ended in divorce. In 1948 she married film writer Robert Presnell Jr., and they had one daughter, who died soon after her premature birth. Her husband died in 1986.
Hunt’s first movie was 1935′s “The Virginia Judge.” She went on to play demure roles in a series of films for Paramount, including “The Accusing Finger” and “Come on Leathernecks,” but, as she told The Associated Press in 2020, she was tired of “sweet young things” and begged for more substantial work.
Hollywood proved a painful education. In “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity,” she remembered almost getting the part of Melanie Wilkes in “Gone with the Wind,” even being assured by producer David O. Selznick. Within days, Olivia de Havilland was announced as the actor who would play Melanie for the 1939 epic.
“That’s the day I grew up,” Hunt said in the documentary. “That’s the day I knew I could never have my heart broken again by this profession of acting.”
She left Paramount for MGM around the time of “Gone with the Wind” and had lead or supporting roles in “These Glamour Girls,” “Flight Command” and “The Human Comedy” among other movies.
“MGM was sheer magic,” she recalled in a 2007 Associated Press interview. “When I arrived at the studio for a one-day role, they parked my car. I went on the set and found a director’s chair with a sign on it, ‘Miss Hunt.’ Another sign was on my dressing room.
“I said to myself, ‘Any studio that treats a one-day player that way, really knows how to make pictures.’ They won my loyalty.”
Work unraveled quickly after she openly embraced liberal causes, such as joining the 1947 protest against congressional hearings on the reputed communist influence in Hollywood.
“I was never a communist or even interested in the communist cause,” she declared in 1996. “I was a political innocent defending my industry.”
With a couple of exceptions, such as producer Stanley Kramer’s 1952 family comedy “The Happy Time,” she was unseen on the big screen for most of the 1950s. She later appeared in many TV series, including “My Three Sons,” “Matlock,” “All in the Family” and “Murder, She Wrote.”
She remained vigorous and elegant in old age. In 1993, she put out “The Way We Wore: Styles of the 1930s and ‘40s and Our World Since Then,” a lavishly illustrated book of the fashions during her Hollywood heyday.
A lifelong political activist, Hunt had a brush with terror in 1962 when she took part in a forum on right-wing extremists and two other participants’ homes were damaged by homemade bombs the very same evening.
“The ashen-faced actress said her home probably escaped the bomb attack only because the terrorists were unable to find out where she lived,” the Los Angeles Times reported. Police were sent to guard her home.
More recently, she helped create a refuge for the homeless in Los Angeles’ Sherman Oaks neighborhood, where she lived and was feted with the title honorary mayor.
Looking back on her activist years, Hunt remarked in 1996: “I never craved an identity as a figure of controversy. But having weathered it and found other interests in the meantime, I can look back with some philosophy.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers left the field after taking a hard fall on his left shoulder at the end of the first quarter against No. 1 Alabama.
Ewers was 9 of 12 passing for 134 yards and completed a 46-yard throw to Xavier Worthy that set up a touchdown that tied the game at 10-10.
Ewers scrambled and was hit by Alabama's Dallas Turner, who landed on Ewers and was given a personal foul.
Ewers laid on the field for several moments before walking off and going straight into the medical tent. He emerged with a towel over his head and went to the Texas locker room at the start of the second quarter.
Ewers was one of the top recruits in the country when he initially signed with Ohio State out of high school. He transferred to Texas and won the starting job over Hudson Card.

(The Conversation) – When people talk about how college athletes can now get paid from their name, image and likeness – more commonly referred to as “NIL” – the focus is often on players at schools with big-time sports programs.
This makes sense given the sheer size of some of the NIL deals that have been scored as of late by players who attend the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division I schools, which tend to have larger student bodies and big budgets to support their athletic programs.
For instance, Paige Bueckers, star guard on the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team, stands to earn more than $1 million through deals with Gatorade and other companies.
University of Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is reportedly worth $3.2 million thanks to deals with Nissan, Dr. Pepper and the Dollar Shave Club, to name a few.
Even college cheerleaders are getting in on the action. After Cassidy Cerny, a cheerleader for Indiana University, was hoisted to retrieve a basketball that had gotten stuck behind the backboard during a March Madness game, a viral video of the episode led to a deal with Breaking T, a T-shirt company that produces shirts that capture moments in sports. The company immortalized the moment on a T-shirt. Cerny says she got about 15% – or $4.50 – per shirt.
With all the hype surrounding lucrative endorsement deals for athletes at Division I schools, it’s easy for people to get the impression that players at smaller schools – and community colleges in particular – could be left behind in what is now known as the “NIL era.”
But a study I did recently with Anita Moorman, a fellow professor of sport administration, suggests that’s not necessarily the case.
In an article we published in the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, we concluded that community college athletes can earn an estimated $48 per sponsored post on Instagram. Of course, that amount pales in comparison to the multimillion-dollar deals secured by some Division I athletes. But when you consider the fact that community college students often struggle to meet their basic needs, enabling those who are athletes to earn $48 by posting on Instagram seems a worthy endeavor to pursue.
The math behind the money
In order to arrive at our $48 figure, we had to come up with a way to calculate how much each player should get paid for each sponsored Instagram post.
To make our estimate, we didn’t look only at how many Instagram followers each player had. We also looked at how many “likes” and comments their posts generated.
We used a formula that basically takes into account how many followers an athlete has, as well as how many likes and comments the posts generate, and how much a company was willing to pay for those things. To figure out the part about how much a company is willing to pay, we took a look at the going rates.
Of the 23,248 athletes competing in the California Community College Athletic Association during the 2019-2020 athletic season, we found 1,168 athletes – or about 5% – who had public Instagram profiles with at least 1,000 followers. We treated these athletes as potential social media influencers and applied standard influencer marketing rates to figure out how much money they could make for each sponsored post on Instagram.
We figured that companies would be willing to pay $10 to reach 1,000 people.
Economic struggles
Based on our calculations, we found 11 community college athletes with an earnings estimate over $200 per sponsored post. An average male community college athlete could earn about $47 per post. And our calculations show that the average female athlete could earn $51 per sponsored Instagram post – $4 more than the men. This difference is driven by the ability of female athletes to generate more engagement on their Instagram posts.
Overall, almost 93% of the athletes in our sample had an NIL value estimate between $20 and $100 per sponsored post.
This is just a fraction of the average NIL value of a sponsored Instagram post for a Division I athlete, which is over $500. Still, every dollar counts, especially when you’re a community college student.
For the most part, community college athletes don’t get athletic scholarships.
Community college students commonly experience financial hardships that lead to a range of issues, including food and housing insecurities.
For those reasons, enabling community college athletes to profit from endorsements would put some in a better position to meet their basic needs while in school.
In order for community college students to reap the potential benefits of NIL deals, at least a couple of things need to happen.
Education is needed
First, community college athletes would benefit from greater access to education resources that can help them learn the ins and outs of NIL deals. This includes education on financial literacy, time management, personal brand development, contract negotiation and a host of other topics.
Since community colleges typically have less money than four-year colleges, we think it would be helpful if the athletic associations that govern sports at community colleges would provide these educational resources to the schools and their athletes, rather than leaving it to the schools to secure these resources on their own.
Some steps have already been taken in this regard. For instance, the California Community College Athletic Association announced a partnership with two companies – Spry and Accelerate – to provide all member institutions with NIL education. Spry is a company that provides a technology platform to help schools track and monitor NIL deals. Schools have an interest in tracking NIL deals to make sure they comply with athletic association policy, institutional policy and state law. Accelerate is a company that offers educational resources focused around NIL topics.
The National Junior College Athletic Association announced a similar partnership with Opendorse on August 17, 2022.
A bigger voice
Community college athletes are not typically included in the national NIL discussion. Congressional witness lists show that community college students are seldom, if ever, invited to congressional hearings on NIL issues.
Inviting community college students to the table would help broaden the scope of the discussion.
Although California amended its NIL legislation to grant community college athletes the same NIL rights afforded to their peers at four-year institutions, active NIL legislation in five other states – Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas – still contains language that expressly or implicitly excludes community college institutions. This shows that not all states are on the same page when it comes to granting community college athletes access to endorsement deals.
With all the Division I students who are capitalizing off endorsement deals, this is one of the most exciting times to be a college athlete. One estimate projected college athletes would earn almost $579 million during the 2021-2022 school year.
Another estimate suggests NIL earnings will increase to over $1.14 billion during the 2022-2023 school year.
It’s clear that Division I students will profit tremendously from NIL deals. The question for community college athletes is whether they’ll be able to profit, too, or whether they will be relegated to the sidelines. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/community-college-athletes-could-earn-48-per-instagram-post-under-the-right-conditions/ | 2022-09-10T18:04:45 | en | 0.971867 |
(NerdWallet) – Bringing a child into your family is a big decision, emotionally and financially. The process can be long and cost anywhere from less than $1,000 to more than $50,000. Here’s a breakdown of the different ways you can grow your family through adoption — and how much you could expect to spend.
How much does adoption cost?
The cost of adoption depends on the type of adoption you pursue. As you consider how you might want to move forward, keep in mind there are several ways to pay for adoption, from fundraisers and grants to personal loans.
Public agency adoption
How it works: Adopting children through the public welfare system often means beginning as a foster parent. Each state has its own agency, which oversees licensing, education, placement and support for adoptive families.
What it costs: Adoption from foster care is a low-cost option for parents. Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the Children’s Bureau under the federal Office of the Administration for Children and Families, characterizes foster care adoption as “virtually free of cost.” The majority of foster adoptions cost less than $1,000, according to the most recent Adoptive Families magazine adoption cost survey conducted in 2016-17.
This path to adoption is inexpensive because of state and federal adoption assistance programs put in place to make it more accessible and appealing to adopt children who are in foster care. These children are often older and may have experienced trauma or have special needs.
Helpful resource: The Children’s Bureau offers a state-by-state guide to adoption assistance.
Private adoption
How it works: Parents can work with an adoption agency or attorney to find and adopt children in the U.S. Generally, the process of adopting a child is similar whether you work through a private agency or independently with the help of an attorney. It involves a home study, placement, counseling, training and legal documentation.
What it costs: The cost of a private adoption varies. Working with an agency, you can expect to spend between $30,000 and $60,000, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway. It’s slightly less expensive to pursue an independent adoption, which involves working with an attorney. That process ranges in cost from $25,000 to $45,000. Private adoptions are more likely to involve newborns. That means in addition to paying for the adoption process, you would also cover the birth mother’s medical and other expenses.
Intercountry adoption
How it works: This path involves working with private or public adoption agencies in countries outside the United States. The process and fees vary by country and depend on the organization you work with, which could be a government office, agency, orphanage, nonprofit or an individual like an attorney. Some aspects of the process are unique. You’ll have to work through the immigration process, including applying for passports and travel visas, and navigate foreign legal systems. The road can be long. Child Welfare Information Gateway estimates intercountry adoption can take one to five years to complete.
What it costs: On average, intercountry adoption costs $20,000 to $50,000.
Expenses that may arise when adopting a child
Home study
A home study marks the beginning of the adoption process.
During a home study, prospective parents — and their family members — are checked out to make sure they would provide a safe and loving place for a child. A home study requires you to produce documents, including financial statements, employment records and a letter from your doctor about your latest physical. You’d also undergo background checks and interviews. This evaluation phase can cost from $2,000 to $4,000, according to The Gladney Center for Adoption, an adoption agency based in Fort Worth, Texas. That price may be adjusted based on your family’s income.
This step in the process also includes education and training. Some of it may be provided by the state agency that administers the home study at a cost ranging from $300 to $600. Additional hours of training are likely required and would be done on your own through books or online courses, which can cost $100 to $200 per person.
Lastly, during the home study, you’ll agree to a post-placement reporting phase. In the United States, a social worker visits the family multiple times over a six-month period after the child has been placed in the home. Fees for post-placement reporting can range from $1,500 to $2,000.
Search fees
When working with a private agency or an attorney, a major expense in the process goes to searching for and getting matched with a birth mother. Fees for a consultant and advertising may be rolled into an adoption agency’s overall fee. But if you’re pursuing an independent adoption, you’ll likely pay for these services separately and costs can range more widely, depending on how and where you want to advertise. The Gladney Center estimates consulting and advertising can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for an independent adoption.
Birth mother expenses
People adopting a newborn will be responsible for paying the birth mother’s expenses. This can include medical bills and some living expenses, as well as counseling, legal fees and travel. The Gladney Center estimates these expenses can cost between $6,000 and $8,000 for parents pursuing a private adoption.
Legal fees
There are a lot of legal requirements in adoption, including terminating the rights of the birth parents, court filings, negotiating birth mother expenses and finalizing the adoption after the post-placement reporting period. An adoption agency may roll some of these expenses into its overall fee.
If you’re pursuing an independent adoption, legal fees will be the bulk of your expenses, costing between $7,000 and $15,000.
Travel
Travel costs can crop up for domestic adoptions, though they’re most significant in intercountry adoptions. Distance is a key factor in how much you’ll pay for travel. Another is time. You might be waiting days or weeks for the final legal approval to bring a child home, especially when crossing state lines or country borders.
For private domestic adoptions, you could pay up to $3,000 in travel expenses, according to the Gladney Center. (You could look at getting a travel credit card to offset some of those expenses.)
Estimates vary for intercountry adoption-related travel. The cost can depend on the country where the child is living and the organization you’re working with. In a cost estimate on its website, New Beginnings — an international adoption agency based in New York — says the adoption of a child in South Korea could include $6,000 to $9,000 in travel expenses. The Child Welfare Information Gateway advised in a September 2020 intercountry adoption guide that adoptive parents are often required to be in the child’s country to finalize the adoption. It may require multiple, extended visits.
Raising a child
Adoption in itself can be a long and expensive process, but that’s only a precursor to the full cost of raising a child. New parents should budget for those expenses, which can top $21,000 in the first year alone. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/how-much-does-it-cost-to-adopt-a-child/ | 2022-09-10T18:04:51 | en | 0.952885 |
(WTRF/NEXSTAR) – Passengers flying with Spirit Airlines erupted in applause after a nurse helped save a baby who stopped breathing on a recent flight, video from the plane shows.
The incident, which unfolded on a flight from Pittsburgh to Orlando, was first reported by Ian Cassette, a meteorologist for Orlando news outlet WOFL. Cassette was also a passenger on the flight, where he captured video of the relieved passengers.
On Twitter, Cassette explained that the 3-month-old baby’s parents were “terrified” when the child stopped breathing. Luckily, nurse Tamara Panzino was also on the flight, and reportedly massaged the baby’s chest and legs until she started breathing again, according to WOFL.
In the video, the baby can even be seen smiling after the incident.
“We thank our crew and Guest for the quick response,” a representative for Spirit Airlines said in a statement shared with Nexstar.
“Our Flight Attendants are trained to respond to medical emergencies onboard and utilize several resources, including communicating with our designated on-call medical professionals on the ground, using onboard medical kits, and receiving assistance from credentialed medical professionals traveling on the flight.”
It’s unclear what caused the infant to stop breathing, though her parents indicated that they had never experienced any similar incidents in the past, according to Cassette. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/nurse-on-spirit-airlines-flight-helps-save-baby-who-stopped-breathing/ | 2022-09-10T18:04:58 | en | 0.964146 |

(NEXSTAR) — How clean are the air and water in your state?
Using 2021 data, U.S. News and World Reports’ feature on the “Best States” has ranked U.S. states on several metrics, including economics, education and health care. The listing also measures natural environment, which is based on a state’s air/water quality and pollution levels.
Pollution was determined based on air and water emissions from industry and utilities, and overall measures to long-term human health effects, using information from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Below are the most polluted (no. 50-40) and least polluted (no. 10-1) in U.S. News’ Pollution Rankings.
States with the worst pollution
50. Louisiana
49. Nevada
48. Indiana
47. Delaware
46. Utah
45. Ohio
44. Oregon
43. Tennessee
42. Illinois
41. Alabama
40. Texas
Louisiana ranks dead last, coming in as the most-polluted state in the U.S., according to EPA information.
A January 2022 study by Tulane University found very high incidences of cancer in Louisiana, the second-highest in the U.S. At least 85 cancer cases per year in the state were due to exposure to high levels of air pollution, the study found. Authors included data for neighborhoods in an area between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which is locally known as “Cancer Alley.”
The state of Nevada ranks as the second-most polluted state, according to EPA information. Just last year, Nevada ranked among the “unhealthiest” states for air quality in the American Lung Association’s State of the Air report.
At that time, Melissa Ramos, manager of the Nevada ALA’s Clean Air Advocacy, said the Classic Car loophole was partly to blame for the state’s high emissions. Under the state’s Classic Vehicle Insurance policies, vehicles bearing certain license plates are exempt from emissions testing. Some tightening of the laws on classic vehicles is coming Jan. 1, 2023, however.
The least polluted states
10. Idaho
9. Colorado
8. Maine
7. Rhode Island
6. California
5. Wyoming
4. New Mexico
3. South Dakota
2. New Hampshire
1. Vermont
The state of Vermont is aware of its relatively good bill of health.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources writes that “Vermont’s air quality is considered to be among the best in the nation.” The agency notes, however, that Vermont’s air is not pollutant-free.
Interesting: Even though California ranks sixth among the least polluted states, many of its cities rank among America’s most polluted. Research from the American Lung Association ranked cities by ozone pollution, year-round particle pollution, and short-term particle pollution. California areas that ranked in the ALA’s top 10 most polluted cities in all three pollution categories include Los Angeles-Long Beach, Bakersfield, Fresno-Madera-Hanford, and Sacramento-Roseville.
Pollutants
Six common air pollutants identified and regulated by the EPA are carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also called “particulate matter”), and sulfur oxides. Other air pollutants include asbestos, fuel oils and kerosene, and benzene. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/the-10-most-polluted-states-in-the-us/ | 2022-09-10T18:05:05 | en | 0.937293 |

Disney worker, teachers among 160 arrested in Florida sex sting
POLK COUNTY, Fla. - More than a hundred people were arrested on prostitution-related charges following an undercover human trafficking operation by the Polk County Sheriff's Office (PCSO), and several of them were from Central Florida.
Among the 160 people arrested during the week-long operation were local teachers and a Disney employee. Authorities said they responded to an online escort advertisement and agreed to meet up for sex.
PCSO began "Operation Fall Haul II" on Aug. 29 and was assisted by multiple police departments, as well as social services organizations, the Office of the State Attorney 10th Judicial Circuit, and members from the Florida Department of Children and Families.
The sex sting resulted in a total of 52 felonies and 216 misdemeanors. Investigators also discovered at least two victims of sex trafficking during the operation, and there may be more.
Sheriff: 'We always have Disney employees'
Guillermo Perez, a bellhop at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Orange County, was taken into custody on a charge of soliciting a prostitute. The 57-year-old Winter Garden man reportedly agreed to pay $80 for a quick visit to have sex with an undercover detective.

Sheriff: ‘Teachers sometimes have to be taught a lesson’
John Layton, a 26-year-old Physical Education teacher at West Orange High School in Orange County, was arrested after he allegedly agreed to pay $40 for a sex act. Deputies said he was wearing the school's track and field shirt when he arrived at the undisclosed location.

Detectives arrested a 41-year-old Ocoee man who they said arrived at a home to have sex with a prostitute. Authorities said Cameron Burke had been previously arrested for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old student at Oak Ridge High School in Orange County in 2021 and was currently released on a bond. At the time of his arrest, Polk County officials said he was employed as a computer technician for the school.

Of the 160 arrested, 26 of them told detectives they were married, 16 lived in Polk County, 15 were from other states, at least two were employed in law enforcement and seven are suspected of being in the country illegally, PCSO said in a news release. The oldest person arrested is 64 years old, while the youngest is 19.

"The online prostitution industry enables traffickers and allows for the continued victimization of those who are being trafficked," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement. "Our goal is to identify victims, offer them help, and arrest those who are fueling the exploitation of human beings (Johns) and those profiting from the exploitation of human beings. Prostitution is not a victimless crime – it results in exploitation, disease, dysfunction, drug and alcohol addiction, violence, and broken families."
Judd held a news conference about the operation Friday morning, and it was streamed live on the sheriff's office's Facebook page.

(NEXSTAR) – The National 9/11 Museum & Memorial has a special place for “sky blue.”
In recent years, the 9/11 Museum & Memorial has encouraged buildings across New York City to light up their rooftops or facades in remembrance of those who were killed during the attacks on September 11. Specifically, the city’s iconic buildings will be illuminated in a striking sky blue — a color that holds special significance for the organization, and the city as a whole.
Sky blue, or “Memorial Blue” as the color is also referred to, symbolizes the city’s (and the world’s) general perception of the sky in the morning just prior to the attacks. In fact, the cloudless skies above NYC on 9/11 had been described as what pilots and meteorologists call “severe clear,” meaning visibility conditions were seemingly infinite, according to the National 9/11 Museum & Memorial.
This year, dozens of iconic buildings, landmarks and institutions will again be partaking in the “Tributes in Light” event, itself an extension of the longstanding (and perhaps more recognizable) “Tribute in Light” art installation in Lower Manhattan, which form two columns of white light shining up the heavens.
Sky blue, too, is also a prominent feature of one of the museum’s most visually arresting installations, titled “Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning.” Found inside museum’s Memorial Hall, the piece is comprised of 2,983 watercolor squares — representing each of the lives lost on Sept. 11 and the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center — showcasing different hues of blue to symbolize our memories of the sky on the morning of September 11, 2001.
“Our own perception of the color blue might not be the same as that of another person,” the museum explains of the different hues in the piece, created by artist Spencer Finch. “However, just like our perception of color, our memories share a common point of reference.”
The Museum is also encouraging folks to “Remember the Sky” by sharing photos of the sky to social media on Sept. 11, to help ensure that younger generations never forget the significance of the date.
“Through creating a shared moment of active remembrance together, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum aims to help spur conversation on social media platforms and elsewhere that can serve as a bridge between memory and history for the tens of millions of young people who did not live through that day that changed our world forever,” the museum has written of the campaign.
Those wishing to learn more about the commemorations taking place on 9/11 can visit 911memorial.org for additional information. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/why-nyc-buildings-use-sky-blue-in-their-9-11-tributes/ | 2022-09-10T18:05:19 | en | 0.951732 |

Charles III proclaimed king in pomp-filled ceremony
LONDON - Two days after the death of his mother elevated him to the throne, King Charles III was officially proclaimed Britain’s monarch Saturday, in a pomp-filled ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live.
Charles, who spent seven decades as heir apparent, automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday. But the accession ceremony was a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country, a relic of a time before mass communications.
Scores of senior politicians past and present, including Prime Minister Liz Truss and five of her predecessors, gathered in the ornate state apartments at St. James’s Palace for the meeting of the Accession Council.
They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king then joined them, vowing to follow his mother’s "inspiring example" as he took on the duties of monarch.
"I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me," he said.

Speaking of his personal grief, he said: "I know how deeply you and the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathize with me in this irreparable loss we have all suffered."
The new king formally approved a series of orders — including one declaring the day of his mother's funeral a public holiday. The date of the state funeral has not been announced, but it is expected to be around Sept 19.
This is the first time the accession ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.
Charles was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, and his eldest son Prince William. William is now heir to the throne and known by the title Charles long held, Prince of Wales.

The ceremony ended with a royal official publicly proclaiming King Charles III the monarch from a balcony at the palace. In centuries past, this would have been the first official confirmation the public had of their new sovereign.
David White, the Garter King of Arms, made the proclamation flanked by trumpeters in gold-trimmed robes before leading cheers — "hip, hip, hooray!" — for the new king.

Gun salutes rang out in Hyde Park, at the Tower of London and at military sites around the U.K. as he announced the news, and scarlet-robed soldiers in the palace courtyard doffed their bearskin hats in a royal salute.

King Charles III named Canada's head of state

King Charles III was also announced as Canada's monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa.
Like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
Charles is now is the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Though Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, many had great affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose silhouette marks their coins.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is minuscule, meaning that Charles will almost certainly remain king of Canada. One reason is that abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the constitution. That’s an inherently risky undertaking, given how delicately it is engineered to unite a nation of 37 million that embraces English-speakers, French-speakers, Indigenous tribes and a constant flow of new immigrants.
Britain mourns
Two days after the 96-year-old queen died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following an unprecedented 70 years on the throne, people still came in their thousands to pay their respects outside Buckingham Palace in London. The scene was repeated at other royal residences across the U.K. and at British embassies around the world.

Britain is holding a period of mourning for the queen, with days of carefully choreographed ceremonies marking the death of the only monarch most people have ever known.
For many Britons, her passing, though long expected, is a destabilizing experience. It comes at a time when many Britons are facing an energy crisis, the soaring cost of living, the uncertainties of the war in Ukraine and the fallout from Brexit.

It has also just seen a change of leader. Prime Minister Liz Truss was appointed by the queen on Tuesday, just two days before the monarch died.
Charles struck a note of continuity on Friday, vowing in a televised address to carry on the queen’s "lifelong service," with his own modernizing stamp.
The new monarch looked to both the past — noting his mother’s unwavering "dedication and devotion as sovereign" — and the future, seeking to strike a reassuring note of constancy while signaling that his will be a 21st-century monarchy.

He reflected on how the country had changed dramatically during the queen’s reign into a society "of many cultures and many faiths," and pledged to serve people in Britain and the 14 other countries where he is king "whatever may be your background or beliefs."
He also tried to overcome a reputation for aloofness in his first hours as monarch, spending time shaking hands with some of the thousands who came to leave flowers and pay tribute to the queen at the gates of Buckingham Palace. He was greeted with shouts of "Well done, Charlie!" and "God save the king!" One woman gave him a kiss on the cheek.

In the next few days the queen’s body will be brought from Balmoral, first to Edinburgh and then to London, where she will lie in state before a funeral at Westminster Abbey.
In his speech, Charles struck a personal note, speaking of his sorrow at the loss of "my darling Mama."
"Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years," he said, ending with a quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" — "May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.’" | https://www.fox29.com/news/charles-iii-proclaimed-king-accession-ceremony | 2022-09-10T18:06:12 | en | 0.966774 |
Chipotle removes this food order option after workers call out cheap burrito hack
In recent years, Chipotle customers have been sharing cheap burrito hacks on social media, and it seems restaurant workers aren't all too pleased with the method.
Two employees have gone viral on TikTok after they showed their dislike toward the money-saving hack, in which customers order a single taco, a side tortilla and side orders of meats, cheese, vegetables, rice and beans.
$3 CHIPOTLE BURRITO ORDERING HACK GOES VIRAL ON TIKTOK: 'SEE THE AMOUNT OF FOOD'
The side orders are packaged into small plastic containers and the hack had allowed customers to roll up their own burrito for a fraction of the cost.
Multiple users on TikTok have reported that the hack has gotten them a deconstructed burrito for around $3.

On average, Chipotle burritos start at $6.50, according to fastfoodmenuprices.com – a website that collects prices on fast food items nationwide.
An executive at Chipotle told Fox News Digital that the company will change its policy on single orders in response to the hack.
Aaron Leopold, 18, who apparently works at Chipotle, shared a video on TikTok that warned viewers to not try the burrito hack, on Monday, Sept. 5.
"Don’t try that $3 burrito hack at MY location," Leopold wrote over his video, which showed he filled the side order containers halfway.
At another location, a TikTok user who goes by Christina shared a video herself venting after a customer used the hack to order tacos with two sides of tomatoes, two sides of greens, two sides of sour cream, a side of corn, a side of black beans, a side brown rice and a side of white rice.
"TikTok you've got me messed up," Christina told her followers.
Although Christina said she wouldn't make the order in her video, she completed it and recorded herself handing it over to a Chipotle drive-thru customer.
"I’m never doing that again," she told the customer. "I was ready to throw it all in a bowl… It is a lot of work."
The video has since been viewed more than 1.2 million times since its original upload on Aug. 31.
CHIPOTLE’S TOMATO SALSA RECIPE REVEALED ON TIKTOK IN TIME FOR SUPER BOWL
TikTok users are divided on whether Chipotle employees should have opinion on customers who use the cheap burrito hack.
"I get it tho cause sometimes places be stingy with the portions and it don't be worth the price," one commenter wrote, adding that customers "might as well" get their [money's] worth.
"How does giving a solid amount of food affect you?" another commenter questioned. "Cause really I don’t see why replaceable employees are defending the store with their whole might."

FOX Business reached out to Leopold and Christina for comment.
Executives at Chipotle are changing the way tacos are ordered.
"Guests are currently unable to order a single taco from our online ordering systems," said Laurie Schalow, Chipotle’s chief corporate affairs officer, in an email to FOX Business.
"While we have long embraced customizations and even released our own hack menu, the current social media trend is resulting in a poor experience for our food, our employees and our customers waiting for orders," she explained.

FOX Business tested the hack on the Chipotle App on Thursday, which hasn't been updated to remove the "one taco" option.
The order didn't go through, and the app returned an error message that said, "Sorry, something’s not right. Please try again."

Eliza Fletcher murder suspect slapped with 'unrelated' kidnapping and rape charges
The suspect being charged with the kidnapping and murder of the Memphis mother of two is now facing new charges that are unrelated to the abduction of Eliza Fletcher.
Cleotha Henderson, 38, who is charged with first degree murder and especially aggravated kidnaping of Fletcher, is now being charged with an additional count of aggravated kidnapping and rape.
A Memphis Police Department Public Information Officer told Fox News Digital that the new aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape charges are "unrelated" to the crimes that Henderson allegedly committed against Fletcher, but said he didn't have any additional information to share.
Henderson is also being charged with unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon. A grand jury indicted him of the additional charges on Thursday, according to court records.

Fletcher was allegedly abducted by Henderson, who was driving a GMC Terrain, at 4:20 a.m. on the morning of Sept. 2. Police say that she was "abducted and forced into" the dark-colored GMC Terrain.
Police say that a surveillance camera captured the same GMC Terrain in the area of the abduction 24 minutes before Fletcher was taken.
Henderson was taken into custody by law enforcement officials on Saturday morning, but declined to tell police officers where Fletcher was, resulting in a massive search operation for the missing mother of two.

According to an affidavit, two people, including Abston's brother, Mario, told police officers that they had seen Henderson cleaning the interior of the GMC Terrain with floor cleaner and washing clothes in the sink.
Police also say that Fletcher "suffered serious injury" and "left evidence, e.g., blood, in the vehicle that the Defendant cleaned."
Memphis police officials announced on Tuesday that the body of Fletcher was found at around 5:07 p.m. Monday in the "rear of a vacant duplex apartment," around the area where Henderson was allegedly seen cleaning out the GMC Terrain.

Officials didn't release a place or method of Fletcher's death, saying it's too early in the investigation, and also didn't release a motive.
Henderson is being held without bond in a Memphis jail, and is due in court on Sept. 19. He now faces two counts of especially aggravated kidnaping, one count of aggravated rape, two counts of theft, first degree murder, unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon, identity theft, tampering with evidence, and fraudulent use of a credit/debit card.

There have been 19 reports of rupturing batteries. No injuries have been reported.
The products were sold at Sam’s Club, Kroger and other stores nationwide from January 18 - December 2021 for between $30 and $40. | https://www.fox29.com/news/hearmuffs-kids-protective-earmuffs-recalled-rupturing-batteries-burn-risks | 2022-09-10T18:06:30 | en | 0.952511 |
NASA spacecraft set to intentionally crash into an asteroid to help save Earth
NASA will use a spacecraft later this month to test a planetary-defense method that could one day save Earth.
The Double Asteroid Redirect Test spacecraft, otherwise known as DART, will be used as a battering ram to crash into an asteroid not far from Earth on Sept. 26. The mission is an international collaboration to protect the globe from future asteroid impacts.
7 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT NASA’S DART MISSION
"While the asteroid poses no threat to Earth, this is the world's first test of the kinetic impact technique, using a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid for planetary defense," NASA said Thursday.
In November 2021, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched with DART from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

Now, 10 months later, DART will catch up with the asteroid by executing three trajectory correction maneuvers over the next three weeks. Scientists say that each maneuver will reduce the margin of error for the spacecraft’s required trajectory to impact the asteroid known as Dimorphos.
NASA says that after the final maneuver on Sept. 25, approximately 24 hours before impact, the navigation team will know the position of Dimorphos within 2 kilometers. From there, DART will be on its own to autonomously guide itself to collision with the out-of-this-world space rock.
Getting a look at the asteroid
This image of the light from asteroid Didymos and its orbiting moonlet Dimorphos is a composite of 243 images taken by the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) on July 27, 2022. (NASA JPL DART Navigation Team / FO
DART recently got its first look at Didymos, the double-asteroid system that includes its target, Dimorphos.
An image taken from 20 million miles away showed the Didymos system to be quite faint. Still, once a series of images were combined, astronomers could pinpoint Dimorphos' exact location.
NASA SLAMMING A SPACECRAFT INTO AN ASTEROID IS PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL PLAN TO SAVE EARTH
"Seeing the DRACO images of Didymos for the first time, we can iron out the best settings for DRACO and fine-tune the software," said Julie Bellerose, the DART navigation lead at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "In September, we'll refine where DART is aiming by getting a more precise determination of Didymos' location."
DART's mission objective

If DART hits Dimorphos at 15,000 mph as planned, it will test the kinetic impactor Earth defense theory.
"The point of a kinetic impactor is you ram your spacecraft into the asteroid you're worried about, and then you change its orbit around the Sun by doing that," Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Planetary astronomer Andy Rivkin said.
DART won't change the orbit of Didymos. It aims to change the speed of the moonlet, Dimorphos. Ground-based telescopes and data from the spacecraft will ultimately tell scientists if their plan worked.
Asteroids move around the sun at a speed of about 20 miles per second. Rivkin explained that if a kinetic impactor method were used to change its orbit, engineers would only want to alter that by a tiny amount, maybe an inch or two a second.
That's why Didymos and its moonlet Dimorphos make a perfect practice target. The tiny asteroid is orbiting Didymos and moves about a foot per second which is much easier to measure than 20 miles per second.
If this works, the idea is to apply the same technique to larger asteroids. Until this mission, scientists could only simulate such an impact in a lab. DART will give them data to help solidify this defense plan.

North Texas doctor deemed 'threat to public' has license suspended after patient's death
The Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended the license of a North Texas doctor on Friday calling him practicing medicine a "continuing threat to public welfare".
Anesthesiologist Dr. Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz, Jr. has been suspended from practicing medicine until further notice.
Dr. Ortiz was a part of an ongoing criminal investigation following serious cardiac complications and one patient's death connected with Ortiz's presence at the Baylor Scott & White Surgicare North Dallas facility from May through September 2022, according to the Board.
The medical board says Ortiz was seen on surveillance footage depositing single IV bags into a warmer in the hall outside operating rooms. Investigators found when he put a bag in the warmer, a patient would suffer serious complications shortly after.
On June 21, 2022, a fellow physician from the Surgicare facility took one of the IV bags home with her when she was sick to rehydrate. When she inserted the IV at home she almost immediately had a heart attack and died.
Inspection of the IV bags found tiny holes in the plastic wrap around the bags. Tests on the bags found they contained the local anesthetic bupivacaine, but were not labeled as such, according to the board.
Tests were also run on the remaining contents from an IV bag given to an otherwise healthy patient who had a heart attack during a routine surgery. The tests indicated the IV fluid contained drugs that could and would be fatal when given intravenously, according to the board.
Baylor Scott & White Surgicare North Dallas paused operations on Sept. 2 after learning of the circumstances around physician's death.
Ortiz's license to practice medicine was issued in 1991.
He operates Garland Anesthesia Consultants in Richardson.

Dr. Ortiz's temporary suspension will remain in place until the Board takes further action.
A hearing will be held at a future date, unless Ortiz waives that option. | https://www.fox29.com/news/north-texas-doctor-deemed-threat-to-public-has-license-suspended-after-patients-death | 2022-09-10T18:06:42 | en | 0.973443 |

Stafford County restaurant's 9/11 themed menu causing a stir
STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. - A 9/11-themed seafood menu is causing a stir in Virginia and beyond.
The menu – which has since been taken down – was posted by The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbour restaurant in Stafford County. It featured items like "Freedom Flounder," "Pentagon Pie," "First Responder Flatbread," and a drink called the "Remember-tini."
"It’s a time for remembrance and reflection, and I don’t know if that menu depicted that type of situation," Jeff Gibson said Thursday.
"I’m just kind of shocked that someone would, you know, use that as a way of getting I guess customers to come in? I don’t know," added Jackie Adams.
The menu was shared on social media, and later made it on national and international news channels, having been written up by TMZ, the New York Post, and the UK’s Daily Mail.
FOX 5 went to the restaurant Thursday, but a reporter was told "no comment."
Many outlets have pointed to an apology apparently posted online by a manager, which reads, "I apologize for those I offended with the 9/11 seafood Sunday post. My intention was to bring attention to that horrific day 21 years ago. To honor those who lost so much as well those who gave everything that day. We will have a new theme tomorrow."
In a nearby grocery store parking lot, multiple people said the menu didn’t bother them.
"I just don’t see why people would want to call it disrespectful," Chris Campbell said.
The original Facebook post has been removed, and the menu has been replaced. It’s now football-themed instead. | https://www.fox29.com/news/stafford-county-restaurants-9-11-themed-menu-causing-a-stir | 2022-09-10T18:06:54 | en | 0.981581 |
Teen kills 2 suspected home invaders with shotgun in Channelview: HCSO
HOUSTON - Officials say two would-be home invaders in Channelview were killed overnight Saturday and a third remains at large after they were confronted by a teen inside armed with a shotgun.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, three men in masks tried to break into a home in the 16000 block of 1st St. in east Harris County near Channelview First Baptist Church.
The men were armed and inside the home were a 12-year-old boy and two teenage boys, both 17. One of the 17-year-olds, according to investigators, got a shotgun and fired it several times at the invaders.
Two of them were hit and pronounced dead at the scene by responding officers.
Meanwhile, the third took off in a dark-colored, 4-door sedan, and as of this writing remains at large.
No other injuries were reported, but Sheriff Gonzalez said the case would be presented before a grand jury, as an investigation into the incident remains underway. | https://www.fox29.com/news/teen-kills-2-suspected-home-invaders-with-shotgun-in-channelview-hcso | 2022-09-10T18:07:01 | en | 0.990379 |
Atlantic hurricane season reaches climatological peak Sept. 10
Sept. 10 marks the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, as that's the date when the most tropical storms and hurricanes have roamed the Atlantic Basin in the historical records.
Early to mid-September is the time of year with the most optimal conditions for the formation of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic. This is when sea-surface temperatures reach their warmest levels of the season, upper-level winds in the tropical Atlantic Ocean tend to relax, Saharan dust is less widespread than earlier in the summer, and tropical disturbances frequently roll off the western coast of Africa.
The combination of these factors opens up more real estate for tropical development during the hurricane season's annual peak than at any other point in the year. The map below shows the vast area where tropical storms and hurricanes typically occur in September, which covers much of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
WHERE TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANES TYPICALLY OCCUR DURING EACH MONTH OF ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON
This map shows where tropical cyclone activity tends to occur during September. The data are shown as the combined number of tropical depressions, tropical storms and hurricanes whose centers pass within 125 miles of a point on the map during a 100-y
Even though we've reached the climatological peak, roughly 60% of an average Atlantic hurricane season is still remaining from Sept. 10 through the end of the season on Nov. 30.
The period from August through early October tends to produce the most hurricanes and tropical storms in an average year, with September marking the single most active month of the Atlantic hurricane season.
HERE'S WHY THE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON RUNS FROM JUNE TO NOVEMBER
While the Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, Sept. 10 is the date when the most hurricanes and tropical storms have occurred in the historical records. (FOX Weather)
2022 Atlantic hurricane season off to a slow start
The Atlantic has spawned five named storms as of Sept. 10, including two hurricanes that just roamed the basin this past week: Danielle and Earl.
However, before the formation of those two most recent storms, the Atlantic hurricane season went through the entire month of August without producing a single tropical storm or hurricane for only the second time in the modern satellite era, which began in 1967.
HURRICANE SEASON 2022: AUGUST FINISHES WITHOUT ANY NAMED STORMS FOR FIRST TIME IN DECADES
According to the National Hurricane Center, an average season in the Atlantic features an additional six named storms after the Sept. 10 climatological peak. Four of those six typically become hurricanes, with two becoming major hurricanes (Category 3 or stronger).
