Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that quarterback Lamar Jackson’s postgame tweet Sunday in which he lashed out at a fan was “so out of character for him” and a reminder of the perils of social media.
About an hour after the Ravens’ 28-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jackson, a pending free agent, responded to a fan who’d tagged him in a tweet saying the Ravens should not commit to him financially. Jackson told the fan to “STFU” — “shut the [expletive] up” — and ended his comment with a vulgar insult. Before the message was deleted hours later, it had been retweeted thousands of times.
Harbaugh said he spoke with Jackson on Monday morning about the exchange, a rare outburst from a typically poised team leader.
“That’s not the way he speaks, it’s not the way he talks, it’s not the words he ever uses,” Harbaugh said. “I’ve never heard him say things like that before. … He wants to win. I’m sure he’s frustrated, just like we all are, and that’s just a place you just don’t want to live right after a game. I know he understands that.”
Jackson, who typically addresses reporters on Wednesdays, seemed frustrated at times in his news conference after Sunday’s loss, in which his 343 total yards of offense and late go-ahead touchdown pass to tight end Josh Oliver weren’t enough to hold off the Jaguars. He tweeted at the fan about a half-hour after speaking with the media.
Harbaugh said he talks with players about the media and social media, advising them to avoid scrolling through Twitter after games, especially losses.
“It’s never going to be positive,” he said. “It’s not going to be a nice place. And I think that’s kind of reflected in Lamar’s response, because what he said was just so out of character for him.”
Harbaugh said Jackson has “one of the biggest hearts of anybody I know.”
“You all have seen him, the way he treats people, the way he treats kids, the way he treats the media,” he said. “And he’s also one of the biggest competitors I’ve ever met. So those kind of conversations he takes very seriously, you know? So you get trapped sometimes by someone that’s baiting you just a little bit, and you can’t live there. It’s not important. … That’s something I love about him, but I think that’s not a place he wants to be and that’s certainly not things that he wants to say.”

The first case of monkeypox virus has reached Delaware. Here's what you need to know
The monkeypox virus, or MPX, has arrived in Delaware, according to the state Division of Public Health.
The state agency announced on Tuesday that a 41-year-old New Castle County man tested positive for MPX in test results received this week. This positive case is considered probable until testing is confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the DPH news release.
The Delaware man did not report any travel or exposure to someone known to have MPX, but he was likely exposed to the virus after close intimate contact with an individual in early July, DPH said. The man is self-isolating and DPH is working with him to identify any possible close contacts.
DPH is also working with the CDC to confirm the course of treatment for this individual.
“The Delaware Division of Public Health has prepared to respond to MPX cases,” said DPH Interim Director Dr. Rick Hong. “As we work to confirm our first case in the state, we encourage Delawareans to be aware of being in close intimate contact with individuals who have rashes or flu-like symptoms. We will continue to monitor this situation closely.”'
The first case of human monkeypox virus infection in Maryland was reported in mid-June, and the state currently has 22 cases, according to CDC data. This data shows that New Jersey reported 11 cases and Pennsylvania has 27 people who have been infected.
MONKEYPOX IN MARYLAND:First case of human monkeypox infection reported in Maryland
More than 860 people have tested positive for the monkeypox virus in the United States as of Tuesday, but no deaths have been reported in the country, according to the CDC. The virus is rarely fatal.
What is monkeypox?
MPX is a rare disease caused through infection with the monkeypox virus, DPH said.
The virus can make you sick, causing a rash, which may look like pimples or blisters, often with an earlier flu-like illness. People can get the virus from an animal, human, or materials contaminated with the virus. The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), the respiratory tract, or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose or mouth.
MONKEYPOX:US to release at least 1.6 million vaccines to fight monkeypox by end of year, officials say
The overall risk of MPX is low, generally caused by close intimate contact, according to public health officials. Still, the virus can spread through the following ways:
- direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs or body fluids
- respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact, or during intimate physical contact, such as kissing, cuddling or sex
- touching items (such as clothing or linens) that previously touched the infectious rash or body fluids
- pregnant people can spread the virus to their fetus through the placenta
- It’s also possible for people to get MPX from infected animals, either by being scratched or bitten by the animal or by preparing or eating meat or using products from an infected animal.
The incubation period of the illness − or the time from infection to symptoms − is typically seven to 14 days but can last as long as 21 days. People are typically sick for two to four weeks, and the illness is rarely fatal.
People who do not have symptoms cannot spread the virus to others.
What are the signs and symptoms?
Public health officials said the symptoms of MPX are similar to but milder than the symptoms of smallpox. Symptoms usually start within three weeks of exposure to the virus.
SYMPTOMS:'Bursts of sharp jabbing pain': What it's like to have monkeypox – and the fight against stigma
Most people who contract MPX will develop a rash, and some will develop flu-like symptoms beforehand. The flu-like symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle aches and backache, sore throat, cough, swollen lymph nodes, chills or exhaustion.
If someone has flu-like symptoms, they will usually develop a rash one to four days later.
If you suspect you are experiencing any symptoms associated with MPX, DPH advises people to immediately:
- Contact their health care provider and mention their concerns
- Self-isolate until all lesions have resolved, the scabs have fallen off, and a fresh layer of intact skin has formed
- Avoid being intimate with others
- Make a list of their close and intimate contacts in the last 21 days
Is there a treatment for monkeypox?
There is no specific treatment for monkeypox virus infection, DPH said in the news release. Instead, the smallpox vaccine, antivirals, and vaccinia immune globulin (VIG) can be used.
The CDC recommends vaccination for people who have been diagnosed with or exposed to MPX and people who are at higher risk of being exposed to the virus, including:
- People who have been identified as a contact of someone with MPX
- People who are aware that one of their sexual partners in the past 2 weeks has been diagnosed with MPX
- People who had multiple sexual partners in the past 2 weeks in an area with known MPX
- People whose jobs may expose them to MPX such as laboratory and some health care or public health workers
VACCINES:How to get a vaccine against monkeypox in the US. Who should get one?
How to prevent MPX infection
Delaware public health officials have the following recommendations to avoid infection:
- Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash that looks like MPX.
- Do not touch the rash or scabs of a person with MPX.
- Do not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone with MPX.
- Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person with MPX.
- Do not handle or touch the bedding, towels, or clothing of a person with MPX.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said Thursday it has filed terror charges against a senior member of the Islamic Jihad militant group whose arrest in the occupied West Bank helped spark three days of heavy fighting in Gaza earlier this month.
Islamic Jihad had demanded the release of Bassam al-Saadi and another detained Palestinian who is on a prolonged hunger strike as part of the Egyptian-brokered cease-fire that ended the fighting. The indictment signals that those demands will not be met.
The military said al-Saadi, 62, stands accused of “committing crimes of affiliation with and activity in an illegal association” and receiving funds from Islamic Jihad in Gaza, as well as “impersonation, incitement and aiding contact with enemy elements,” the military said.
Islamic Jihad is an Iran-sponsored Palestinian militant group that is opposed to Israel’s existence and has carried out scores of deadly attacks over the years targeting Israeli civilians. It operates in both the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Al-Saadi was arrested earlier this month during a night-time military raid in the West Bank city of Jenin. In response to his arrest, Islamic Jihad said it was going “on alert.”
Israel says the group was planning a revenge attack from Gaza. In response to what it said was an imminent threat, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes in Gaza that killed a senior Islamic Jihad commander. The militants began launching hundreds of rockets at Israel hours later.
The flare-up left 49 Palestinians dead, including the militant group’s top two commanders and 10 other fighters, before the cease-fire took effect. Gazan militants fired some 1,100 rockets, but no one on the Israeli side was killed or seriously wounded.
It was the deadliest exchange of fire since last year’s war between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that has ruled Gaza for the last 15 years — and which did not take part in the latest fighting.
Despite the lopsided toll, Islamic Jihad has held rallies across Gaza in recent days, including on Thursday, on the main road of Gaza’s Shijaiyah neighborhood. At a rally Wednesday in the southern town of Rafah, the militants displayed life-sized replicas of rockets.
Al-Saadi has spent a total of 15 years over several stints in Israeli jails for being an Islamic Jihad member. Israel killed two of his sons, who were also Islamic Jihad militants, in separate incidents in 2002, and destroyed his home during a fierce battle in Jenin that year.
Israeli forces have carried out regular operations into Jenin in recent months that the military says are aimed at dismantling militant networks in the wake of several deadly attacks inside Israel. The raids often ignite gunbattles with Palestinian militants.
Since seizing power in 2007, Hamas has fought four wars with Israel, often with support from Islamic Jihad fighters. In the past, Islamic Jihad militants in Gaza have challenged Hamas by firing rockets, often without claiming responsibility, to raise the group’s profile.
Israel and Western countries consider both Hamas and Islamic Jihad to be terrorist groups because they have carried out scores of deadly attacks over the years targeting Israeli civilians. Many Palestinians view the militants as freedom fighters resisting Israel’s 55-year military occupation of lands the Palestinians want for their future state.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will head to Europe at week’s end for a three-country trip intended to bolster the international coalition against Russian aggression as the war in Ukraine extends well into its second year.
The main focus of Biden’s five-day visit will be the annual NATO summit, held this year in Vilnius, Lithuania. Also planned are stops in Helsinki, Finland, to commemorate the Nordic country’s entrance into the 31-nation military alliance in April, and Britain, the White House announced Sunday.
Biden will begin his trip next Sunday in London, and will meet with King Charles III at Windsor Castle the next day, according to Buckingham Palace. The president did not attend Charles’s coronation in May, sending first lady Jill Biden to represent the United States. In June, Biden hosted British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the White House, where the two leaders pledged continued cooperation in defending Ukraine.
Sunak’s office said he looked forward to welcoming Biden and that their meeting would build on earlier visits.
The NATO meeting comes at the latest critical point in the war. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, says counteroffensive and defensive actions against Russian forces are underway as Ukrainian troops start to recapture territory in the southeastern part of the country, according to its military leaders.
Jens Stoltenberg, NATO’s secretary-general, visited the White House on June 13, where he and Biden made clear that the Western alliance was united in defending Ukraine. Biden said during that meeting that he and other NATO leaders will work to ensure that each member country spends the requisite 2% of its gross domestic product on defense.
“The NATO allies have never been more united. We both worked like hell to make sure that happened. And so far, so good,” Biden said as he sat alongside Stoltenberg, who is expected to extend his term for another year. “We see our joint strength in modernizing the relationship within NATO, as well as providing assistance to defense capabilities to Ukraine.
When Finland joined NATO in April, it effectively doubled Russia’s border with the world’s biggest security alliance. Biden has highlighted the strengthened NATO alliance as a signal of Moscow’s declining influence.
Sweden is also seeking entry into NATO, although alliance members Turkey and Hungary have yet to endorse the move. Biden will host Sweden’s prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, at the White House on Wednesday in a show of solidarity as the United States presses for the Nordic nation’s entry into NATO.
Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has said Sweden is too lax on terrorist groups and security threats. Stoltenberg has said Sweden has met its obligations for membership through toughening anti-terrorist laws and other measures.
Hungary’s reasons for opposing Sweden have been less defined, complaining about Sweden’s criticism of democratic backsliding and the erosion of rule of law. Hungary, while providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine, has also sought to balance its relations between NATO and Russia. Budapest is heavily reliant on Russia for its energy requirements.
All nations in the alliance have to ratify the entry of a new member country.
The White House has stressed that Sweden has fulfilled its commitments to join NATO and has urged that it join the alliance expeditiously.

PROVO, Utah (AP) — A wrongful death lawsuit filed after an 11-year-old autistic boy was left in a hot car while under the watch of a care facility in Utah has been settled.
The lawsuit filed against Roost Services and some of its employees in April stemmed from the July 2021 death of Joshua “Joshee” Hancey, who was left in a car for nearly three hours in American Fork south of Salt Lake City as temperatures reached the mid-90s, KSL-TV reported Sunday. Police Lt. Josh Christensen told reporters at the time that the car's windows were up, the doors were closed and the engine was off.
Terms of the settlement have not been released.
David S. Bridge, an attorney for one of the employees, declined to comment about the settlement out of respect to the parties in the lawsuit. The attorneys for Roost Services and two other employees did not respond to KSL's requests for comment.
Peter Mifflin, the attorney for the boy's estate, said his clients hope the lawsuit leads to improvements in care to prevent similar mistakes from happening again.
According to the lawsuit, Roost employees said they were understaffed and overworked at the time. A report filed by American Fork police also said a lack of communication led to the boy being left in the car, and police investigators recommended the employee in charge of watching the boy be charged with child abuse homicide and obstruction of justice.
Utah County Attorney David Leavitt declined to file charges, saying the death was unintentional.
Mifflin said he hopes Utah County will revisit the case with a new county attorney at the beginning of next year.
“I still, to this day, find it interesting that, in the current environment in the state of Utah, someone who leaves a dog in the back of a car is charged immediately for animal cruelty without blinking, and that exact same conduct with regard to a human being is not charged at all. That still bothers me,” he said.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (NYSE: BHVN), a biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of innovative, late-stage product candidates targeting neurological diseases, including rare disorders, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, and provided a review of recent accomplishments during and anticipated upcoming milestones.
Vlad Coric, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Biohaven, commented, "As expected, we observed a strong rebound in NURTEC ODT net revenue as first quarter seasonal dynamics abated. Net product revenue of $194 million for the quarter represented a 57% sequential increase compared to the first quarter and reflects strong product demand. In addition, the sales mix of our 2-pack (16-tablet count) of Nurtec ODT continued to ramp in the second quarter. Investments made in first quarter copay programs drove volume and net revenue growth, and the benefits of the only 'all-in-one' therapy to treat and prevent migraine continued to resonate with and improve the lives of patients living with migraine. And now, with the intranasal zavegepant NDA filing acceptance, we are closer to bringing a new, critical medication to market that offers migraine patients ultra-rapid relief in as early as 15 minutes, and addresses the needs of patients experiencing nausea or vomiting who need non-oral treatment options."
Dr. Coric continued, "We are excited about the vast opportunities beyond CGRP and have made tremendous strides across our broader pipeline, starting with our program in focal epilepsy with what we believe is a best-in-class approach to Kv7 potassium channel activation. We are working hard to expedite enrollment in our Phase 1 trial and look forward to exploring its potential in other epilepsy types as well as in pain and affective disorders. Likewise, we recently dosed the first subject in our Phase 3 trial evaluating taldefgrobep alfa in subjects with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA); we look forward to driving enrollment in this trial and exploring the potential of taldefgrobep alfa in additional indications. We also remain on track to report topline results from the verdiperstat arm of the platform trial in ALS, sponsored by the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital in the second half of the year. We are excited about the paradigm-shifting approaches we're exploring across our expanding pipeline and will continue working determinedly to improve outcomes for patients living with neuroscience diseases."
Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
- Q2 2022 net product revenue from sales of NURTEC ODT totaled $194 million, up sequentially 57% compared to Q1 2022 – NURTEC ODT has now achieved over 2,200,000 prescriptions, and over 79,000 unique prescribers through June 30, 2022, an increase of 11,500 prescribers from the first quarter, signaling continued traction across the prescribing community. The $194 million in net product revenues for the quarter represents a 109% increase over the second quarter of 2021 and a 57% increase from net product revenues over the first quarter of 2022. The increase of $70 million in net product revenues as compared to the first quarter of 2022 is due primarily to increased NURTEC ODT prescription sales volume and favorable pack mix per prescription. In addition, we continue to see improvements in patient affordability / copay support needs as patients satisfy annual deductible obligations. These are marginally offset by additional rebates during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022. The Company remains on track to meet full year 2022 net product sales guidance of $825 - $900 million.
- Antitrust approval granted for proposed acquisition by Pfizer; other closing conditions – As previously disclosed, Biohaven entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Pfizer, Inc. ("Pfizer") on May 10, 2022, under which Pfizer will acquire Biohaven (the "Merger"). Under the terms of the agreement, Pfizer will acquire all outstanding shares of Biohaven not already owned by Pfizer for $148.50 per share in cash. Biohaven common shareholders, including Pfizer, will also receive 0.5 of a share of New Biohaven, a new publicly traded company that will retain Biohaven's non-CGRP development stage pipeline compounds, per Biohaven common share. The boards of directors of both Biohaven and Pfizer have unanimously approved the transaction. Pfizer will pay transaction consideration totaling approximately $11.6 billion in cash. Pfizer will also make payments at closing to settle Biohaven's third party debt and for the redemption of all outstanding shares of Biohaven's redeemable preferred stock.
- U.S. FDA accepted Biohaven's zavegepant NDA filing for the acute treatment of migraine in adults – In May, the Company announced that the FDA filed and accepted for review the Company's recently submitted NDA for zavegepant, the only small molecule calcitonin gene-related peptide ("CGRP") receptor antagonist in an intranasal formulation, for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") goal date for completion of the FDA review of the NDA is set for the first quarter of 2023. The Company had announced the achievement of positive results in the pivotal trial of zavegepant for the acute treatment of migraine in adults in December, 2021.
- Commenced enrollment in Phase 3 Spinal Muscular Atrophy ("SMA") study – In July, the Company commenced enrollment in a Phase 3 clinical trial assessing the efficacy and safety of taldefgrobep alfa in Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Taldefgrobep targets myostatin, a natural protein that limits skeletal muscle growth, through two mechanisms: lowering myostatin directly and blocking key downstream signaling mechanisms. The Company expects to enroll approximately 180 patients in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled global trial.
- Global Coalition for Adaptive Research ("GCAR") commenced enrollment in Glioblastoma Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment ("GBM Agile") Phase 2-3 adaptive platform trial for patients with glioblastoma – In July, GCAR announced the activation of Biohaven's troriluzole and Vigeo Therapeutics' VT1021 in GBM AGILE, a patient-centered, adaptive platform trial for registration that tests multiple therapies for patients with newly-diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma ("GBM"). GBM AGILE is an international, innovative platform trial designed to more rapidly identify and confirm effective therapies for patients with glioblastoma through response adaptive randomization. The new interventions are opening first at Henry Ford Health Cancer in Detroit under Henry Ford site Principal Investigator Dr. Tom Mikkelsen and will subsequently open at more than 40 trial sites across the United States with additional global sites to follow.
- Phase 3 clinical trial of troriluzole did not reach statistical significance in overall SCA population – In May, the Company announced top-line results from a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of its investigational therapy, troriluzole, in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). The primary endpoint, change from baseline to Week 48 on the modified functional Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (f-SARA), did not reach statistical significance in the overall SCA population as there was less than expected disease progression over the course of the study. However, post hoc analysis of efficacy measures by genotype suggested a treatment effect in patients with the SCA Type 3 (SCA3) genotype, which represents the most common form of SCA and accounted for 41 percent of the study population. In the SCA3 subgroup, troriluzole showed a numerical treatment benefit on the change in f-SARA score from baseline to Week 48 compared to placebo. Given the debilitating nature of the disease and lack of approved therapies, the Company intends to share the SCA3 genotype data with regulators and work with the FDA to address a path forward for troriluzole in SCA.
- Presented new Nurtec ODT, zavegepant, and migraine health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) data at the American Headache Society Annual Scientific Meeting – In June, the Company presented 31 new and encore presentations, including three late-breakers and three oral presentations, at the 64th annual scientific meeting of the American Headache Society. Key updates:
Upcoming Milestones:
Biohaven is continuing to support the commercialization of NURTEC ODT for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine, as well as develop its product candidates through clinical and preclinical programs in a number of common and rare disorders. The Company expects to reach significant pipeline milestones across its platforms in the coming quarters.
Biohaven expects to:
- Consummate the acquisition by Pfizer by early 2023, subject to the completion of the new Biohaven spin-off transaction and other customary closing conditions.
- Advance Phase 1 study of BHV-7000 (Kv7) in focal epilepsy.
- Continue to advance the commercialization of NURTEC ODT (rimegepant) for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine.
- Continue to advance the zavegepant (intranasal spray) program towards commercialization for the acute treatment of migraine.
- Submit an NDA for the acute treatment of migraine in China in the second half of 2022.
- Report topline of verdiperstat in ALS in the second half of 2022.
- Complete enrollment in Phase 3 study of troriluzole in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in 2023.
Capital Position:
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2022, were $553.5 million, excluding $0.8 million of restricted cash, compared to $364.6 million as of December 31, 2021. On January 4, 2022, we received $500.0 million in upfront proceeds from Pfizer relating to our strategic collaboration arrangement, consisting of $150.0 million cash and $350.0 million in proceeds from the purchase of Biohaven common shares at a 25% market premium. In addition, during the second quarter of 2022 we drew $125.0 million in non-dilutive committed capital from our credit facility with Sixth Street.
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
Product Revenue, Net: Net product revenue was $194.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $92.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $101.0 million in net product revenue was primarily due to increased NURTEC ODT sales volume as well as an increase in average pills per prescription during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 was also benefited from improved patient affordability support, partially offset by additional rebate related sales allowances.
Collaboration and Other Revenue: Collaboration and other revenue was $21.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. No collaboration and other revenue was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The collaboration and other revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to $20.0 million of variable consideration recognized as part of our collaboration arrangement with Pfizer.
Research and Development ("R&D") Expenses: R&D expenses, including non-cash share-based compensation costs, were $218.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $77.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $141.1 million was primarily due to the acquisition of our Kv7 Platform from Knopp Biosciences LLC in April 2022 for $93.7 million and a $25.0 million development milestone related to BHV-7000, increased program expenses for rimegepant, and increased personnel costs. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $7.4 million as compared to the same period in 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses: SG&A expenses, including non-cash share-based compensation costs, were $250.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $170.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $80.4 million was primarily due to increases in spending to support increased commercial sales of NURTEC ODT, including the launch of NURTEC ODT for the preventative treatment of migraine which was approved by the FDA in May of 2021. Additionally, approximately $9.6 million of the increased SG&A expense related to fees incurred in connection with the Pfizer Merger, including increased legal and accounting costs. Less than half of the SG&A expense was for commercial organization personnel costs, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $7.3 million as compared to the same period in 2021.
Other Expense, Net: Other expense, net was $152.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $34.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $117.3 million in net expense was primarily due to a $109.7 million change in fair value of derivative liabilities, as well as $9.3 million of increased interest expense as a result of additional borrowings under our debt facility with Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. ("Sixth Street"). The change in fair value of derivative liabilities was a result of derivative liabilities recorded in connection with change of control provisions associated with the pending acquisition of Biohaven by Pfizer for our series A and B preferred shares and term loans with Sixth Street.
Net Loss: Biohaven reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2022, of $441.4 million, or $6.21 per share, compared to $210.6 million, or $3.23 per share for the same period in 2021. Anticipated closing of the merger agreement necessitates accounting of derivative losses in the amount of $1.57 per share resulting in a total second quarter reported net loss of $6.21 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $271.4 million, or $3.82 per share, compared to $170.9 million, or $2.62 per share for the same period in 2021. These non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share measures, more fully described below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," exclude non-cash share-based compensation charges, non-cash interest expense related to the accounting for mandatorily redeemable preferred shares and liability related to sale of future royalties, changes in the fair value of derivatives and gains or losses from equity method investment. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the tables below.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), and also certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, Biohaven has provided non-GAAP adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, adjusted to exclude the items below. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, Biohaven believes the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of ongoing operating performance. These measures exclude (i) non-cash share-based compensation, which is substantially dependent on changes in the market price of common shares, (ii) interest expense related to the accounting for our mandatorily redeemable preferred shares and liability related to sale of future royalties, which are in excess of the actual interest owed, (iii) changes in the fair value of derivative liability, which does not correlate to actual cash payment obligations in the relevant periods, and (iv) gains or losses from equity method investment, which are non-cash and based on the financial results and valuation of another company that we did not manage or control.
Biohaven believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding Biohaven's results of operations. When GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with these non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of Biohaven's ongoing operating performance and are better able to compare Biohaven's performance between periods. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among those indicators Biohaven uses as a basis for evaluating performance, and planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided later in this press release.

About NURTEC ODT
NURTEC ODT (rimegepant) is the first and only calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist available in a quick-dissolve ODT formulation that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. The activity of the neuropeptide CGRP is thought to play a causal role in migraine pathophysiology. NURTEC ODT is a CGRP receptor antagonist that works by reversibly blocking CGRP receptors, thereby inhibiting the biologic activity of the CGRP neuropeptide. The recommended dose of NURTEC ODT is 75 mg, taken as needed, up to once daily to treat or every other day to help prevent migraine attacks. For more information about NURTEC ODT, visit www.nurtec.com. The most common adverse reaction was nausea and abdominal pain/indigestion. Avoid concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4, strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A or inhibitors of P-gp or BCRP. Avoid another dose of NURTEC ODT within 48 hours when it is administered with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4.
Indication
NURTEC ODT orally disintegrating tablets is a prescription medicine that is used to treat migraine in adults. It is for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine. It is not known if NURTEC ODT is safe and effective in children.
Important Safety Information
Do not take NURTEC ODT if you are allergic to NURTEC ODT (rimegepant) or any of its ingredients.
Before you take NURTEC ODT, tell your healthcare provider (HCP) about all your medical conditions, including if you:
- have liver problems,
- have kidney problems,
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant,
- breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
Tell your HCP about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
NURTEC ODT may cause serious side effects including allergic reactions, including trouble breathing and rash. This can happen days after you take NURTEC ODT. Call your HCP or get emergency help right away if you have swelling of the face, mouth, tongue, or throat or trouble breathing. This occurred in less than 1% of patients treated with NURTEC ODT.
The most common side effects of NURTEC ODT were nausea (2.7%) and stomach pain/indigestion (2.4%). These are not the only possible side effects of NURTEC ODT. Tell your HCP if you have any side effects.
You are encouraged to report side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088 or report side effects to Biohaven at 1-833-4Nurtec.

It's anyone's guess what the midterm election results will be, and one company will pay you six figures if you can guess correctly.
Kalshi calls itself a forecasting app and will give $100,000 to anyone who can pick the winners of every U.S. congressional race this year.
Kalshi wants to take things a step further by allowing people to bet on the results of elections.
Experts say the pros and cons of the proposal are not the same as other forms of gambling. A rival app, Predict It, launched a few years ago to take bets on U.S. elections.
Federal regulators allowed it to operate in this country because it claimed to be a nonprofit and is run by a university. But in August, regulators told Predict It that it would have to shut down next year. They did not give a reason.
Experts say security is an ongoing concern.
Bloomberg reports that regulators will block Kalshi's proposal for betting on election results, but so far, there has not been an official vote.
Regulators did not respond to our requests for comment.

KAMPALA, Uganda — Heavy rains in hilly eastern Uganda triggered flooding that burst river banks and submerged homes and roads, killing at least 10 people, the Red Cross said Sunday.
The death toll is likely to rise, with local reporters saying they spotted bodies being washed away by the torrent.
“This disaster is due to environmental degradation,” Ugandan Prime Minister Robinah Nabanja told reporters from Mbale, adding that Ugandan security officials have been called to assist in rescue efforts. “How many people are going to die like this?”
There are fears of more trouble ahead as the rainy season has just begun.
Mbale and nearby districts are particularly vulnerable to flooding deaths because many residents have built homes by river banks and in the rugged foothills of Mount Elgon.
Although hundreds have responded to the government’s call to be relocated over the years, some continue to resist, saying they aren’t comfortable leaving their ancestral lands.

DEER PARK, Texas (AP) — A chemical plant in the Houston area caught fire Friday, sending a huge plume of smoke into the sky.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said the fire was at a Shell USA Inc. facility in Deer Park, a suburb east of Houston.
Officers received a service call just after 3 p.m. Friday to help divert traffic around the plant, Harris County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Thomas Gilliland said. The city of Deer Park said in an advisory that there was no shelter-in-place order for residents.
Shell is conducting their own air quality monitoring but the city has yet to receive an update, said Kaitlyn Bluejacket, a spokesperson for the city of Deer Park. She said they have been advised by Shell that there is no need at the time to shelter in place, but that the city would update residents if that becomes the case.
Fire crews from the plant and nearby plants are responding, as well as the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office, who is leading the response, Gilliland said.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet his agency was responding to calls about “some type of explosion.”
Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia said in a statement that his office has been assured that the situation is “under control” and that all employees have been accounted. Garcia urged people to avoid the area but said there is no shelter-in-place currently in effect.
The cause of the fire remains unknown and under investigation by the Harris County Fire Marshal, according to Garcia.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality officials said in a statement that they are responding to the industrial fire and have deployed air monitoring assets from the Houston, Beaumont and Austin offices to support local response.
Shell officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Authentic Mexican Street Food Meets High-Energy Experience
ATLANTA, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlanta's exciting Mexican food dining scene evolution continues to expand as owners Damian Otero's and Miguel Hernandez's Rreal Tacos refines its high-energy brand and plans new locations in Chamblee and Sandy Springs in the next six months.
"In Atlanta if you want real, authentic Mexico City tacos, you go to Buford Highway, but it's not a date night kind of place," explains Otero. "Conversely, if you want something upscale with great drinks, it's a mammoth restaurant with 'Americanized' food. We have created a niche intersecting the two."
Patrons at the Midtown or West Midtown locations are transported into an atmosphere with modern Mexican aesthetics including music from popular artists such as Bad Bunny. "Our restaurants are designed for the new generation looking for a high-energy, upscale dining experience," says Otero.
Otero and Hernandez have recruited top-level chefs, managers, and mixologists to ensure patrons have a one-of-a-kind experience. With Latinos now accounting for 11% of Atlanta's population, the bar for excellence in the taco scene is very high. "I believe diners realized five years ago they've been eating Tex-Mex their whole lives, and they are hungering for authenticity," he adds.
Chefs Ignacio Barquera and Miguel Aguirre strive to recreate the characteristics of tacos from various regions of Mexico using fresh—never frozen—meat marinated for over 12 hours for dishes such as asada from northeastern Monterrey, birria barbacoa from Guadalajara, or taco al pastor, one of Mexico City's signature tacos. Desserts include platano macho – sweet plantain with cream and brown sugar.
"We have a very high standard and believe our dishes surpass others because of our unwavering commitment to using the freshest cuts of meat and cooking with ingredients sourced only from Mexico," says Otero.
Mixologists and beverage directors Arturo Salgado and Jesus Perez curate Rreal Taco's extensive list of libations including 24 creative cocktails, more than 200 different tequilas, and 100 mezcals. The extensive margarita collection is among the best in the city and includes the Malverde, fresco cucumber, spicy pineapple margarita, mezcalita, and Hennessy margarita.
Otero and Hernandez are also co-founders of Resto, a technology company implementing a unique QR code configuration allowing them to reimagine the service model to provide an extraordinary guest experience. The QR code streamlines the order-taking process, connects it to the kitchen, and benefits the wait staff and diners. Having ordering and payment technology at their fingertips gives guests control over the pace of the meal. "With this data, we can better understand our customers' preferences and continue to deliver what our diners desire," says Hernandez.
As a relatively new company, Rreal Tacos already offers top-level performing employees an opportunity to own equity in new locations. "We believe in creating opportunities for our team members to become partners as we expand," says Hernandez.
Rreal Tacos' growth is burgeoning; the eatery will open locations in Chamblee and Sandy Springs within the next six months and is planning expansion to Buckhead, Decatur, and Gwinnett County. They are also eyeing operating partners in South Florida, Nashville, Charlotte, and surrounding cities.
Owned by Damian Otero and Miguel Hernandez, Rreal Tacos brings the authentic flavor of Mexican street food to taco purists and connoisseurs at its two Atlanta locations: Midtown at 100 6th St. NE and West Midtown at 1000 Northside Dr. NW. New locations are planned in Chamblee and Sandy Springs in the next six months. Call (404) 458-5887 or visit rrealtacos.com for more information.

A federal appeals court Friday ruled in favor of a Texas law targeting major social media companies like Facebook and Twitter in a victory for Republicans who accuse the platforms of censoring conservative speech.
But the decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans is unlikely to be the last word in a legal battle that has stakes beyond Texas, and could impact how some of the world’s biggest tech companies regulate content by their users.
The Texas law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott last year, has been challenged by tech trade groups that warn that it would prevent platforms from removing extremism and hate speech. A similar law was also passed in Florida and ruled unconstitutional by a separate appeal court.
The final say is likely to come from the U.S. Supreme Court, which earlier this year blocked the Texas law while the lawsuit played out.
“Today we reject the idea that corporations have a freewheeling First Amendment right to censor what people say,” U.S. Circuit Court Judge Andrew Oldham wrote.
NetChoice, one of the groups challenging the law, expressed disappointment in a statement that pointed out the ruling was the opposite of the decision made in the lawsuit over the Florida law.
“We remain convinced that when the U.S. Supreme Court hears one of our cases, it will uphold the First Amendment rights of websites, platforms, and apps,” said Carl Szabo, NetChoice’s vice president and general counsel.
Republican elected officials in several states have backed laws like those enacted in Florida and Texas that sought to portray social media companies as generally liberal in outlook and hostile to ideas outside of that viewpoint, especially from the political right.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote in May that is not clear how the high court’s past First Amendment cases, many of which predate the internet age, apply to Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and other digital platforms.
The Florida law, as enacted, would give Florida’s attorney general authority to sue companies under the state’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. It would also allow individual residents to sue social media companies for up to $100,000 if they feel they have been treated unfairly.
The Texas law only applies to the largest social media platforms that have more than 50,000 active users.

The top children's book awards were handed out Monday morning, at the American Library Association's annual Youth Media Awards.
The Newbery Medal, which the American Library Association awards to the most distinguished American children's book published the previous year, went to Freewater by Amina Luqman-Dawson. The historical fiction novel revolves around two enslaved siblings' escape from a plantation to a free swamp community called Freewater.
The setting of Freewater was inspired by the real-life Great Dismal Swamp, where self-emancipated, formerly enslaved people found refuge. But Luqman-Dawson says she wanted to infuse that history with magic.
"I always felt that, especially in touching on African American history, that we have to have a space where we allow our feet to sort of lift off the ground and to fly," she tells Elizabeth Blair.
She says the magical realism elements of her book help transport her young readers: it "takes them to a new place where they can kind of hear the voices of ... these people that have found freedom in the middle of enslavement."
Luqman-Dawson, a debut author, says the idea for Freewater came to her nearly 20 years ago. "So that's a message to all those aspiring writers out there," she says. "Never let go of your dream of a story."
Freewater also won the Coretta Scott King Author award.
The Randolph Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American picture book for children was awarded to Hot Dog, illustrated and written by Doug Salati. The book is about an overwhelmed pup who finds his calm on a trip to the beach.
Salati grew up in upstate New York, and tells Elizabeth Blair that he never imagined living in New York City. But he's "come to love everything that the city is ... all the noise, all the bustle, all the commotion, all the intensity, all the people." But it's nice to escape, too.
He remembers watching a dachshund romp on the beach one day: "Just really being a dog and just feeling relaxed and happy and free ... running and digging and finding rocks ... chasing the waves."
Hot Dog is about carrying that feeling of peace and contentment – whether it's a place, or the company of loved ones – with you. "It's a good thing if you can try and hold on to that feeling," Salati says. "And I think that's what I was trying to do through this dog."
The Newbery honor books were Iveliz Explains It All, The Last Mapmaker and Maizy Chen's Last Chance.
And the Caldecott honor books were Ain't Burned All the Bright, Berry Song, Choosing Brave: How Mamie Till-Mobley and Emmett Till Sparked the Civil Rights Movement and Knight Owl.
ALA's Youth Media Awards include many other honors as well, such as the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Book award, which was given to Standing in the Need of Prayer: A Modern Retelling of the Classic Spiritual, illustrated by Frank Morrison. Dr. Claudette McLinn, founder and executive director of the Center for the Study of Multicultural Children's Literature, was honored with the Coretta Scott King – Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Lower prices offer Americans slight reprieve from inflation
Washington — Falling prices for gas, airline tickets and clothes gave Americans a little bit of relief last month, though overall inflation is still running at close to its highest level in four decades.
Consumer prices jumped 8.5% in July compared with a year earlier, the government said Wednesday, down from a 9.1% year-over-year increase in June. On a monthly basis, prices were unchanged from June to July, the first time that has happened after 25 months of increases.
But the reprieve offered no certainty that prices would stay on the decline. Inflation has slowed in the recent past only to re-accelerate in subsequent months. And even if price increases continue to weaken, they are a long way from the Fed’s 2% annual target.
“There’s good reason to think inflation will continue to slow,” said Michael Pugliese, an economist at Wells Fargo. “What I think gets lost in that discussion is, slow by how much?”
Even if it were to fall to 4% — less than half its current level — Pugliese suggested that the Federal Reserve would need to keep raising interest rates or at least keep them high.
Much of the relief last month was felt by travelers: Hotel room costs fell 2.7% from June to July, airfares nearly 8% and rental car prices a whopping 9.5%. Those price drops followed steep increases in the past year after COVID-19 cases eased and travel rebounded. Airfares are still nearly 30% higher than they were a year ago.
Gas prices dropped from $5 a gallon, on average, in mid-June to $4.20 by the end of last month, and were just $4.01 on Wednesday, according to AAA. Oil prices have also fallen, and cheaper gas will likely pull down inflation this month as well, economists said.
Last month's declines in travel-related prices helped lower core inflation, a measure that excludes the volatile food and energy categories and provides a clearer picture of underlying price trends. Core prices rose just 0.3% from June, the smallest month-to-month increase since March. Compared with a year ago, core inflation amounted to 5.9% in July, the same year-over-year increase as in June.
All told, the July figures raised hope that inflation may have peaked after more than a year of relentless increases that have strained household finances, soured Americans on the economy, led the Federal Reserve to raise borrowing rates aggressively and diminished President Joe Biden's public approval ratings.
Biden highlighted the flat monthly inflation figure.
“I just want to say a number: zero,” he told reporters Wednesday. “Today we received news that our economy had zero percent inflation in the month of July.”
Americans are still absorbing bigger price increases than they have in decades. Grocery prices jumped 1.1% in July and are 13% higher than a year ago, the largest year-over-year increase since 1979. Bread prices leaped 2.8% last month, the most in more than two years. Rental and medical care costs rose, though slightly less than in previous months.
A strong job market and healthy wage increases have encouraged more Americans to move out on their own, reducing the number of available apartments and pushing up rental costs. Wall Street purchases of homes and trailer parks have also lifted monthly payments.
Average paychecks are rising faster than they have in decades, but not fast enough to keep up with inflation. As a result, some retirees have felt the need in recent months to return to the workforce.
Among them is Charla Bulich, who lives in San Leandro, California. For the past six months Bulich, 73, has worked a few hours a week caring for an elderly woman because her Social Security and food stamps don’t cover her rising costs.
“I go over my budget all the time — that’s why I had to go get a job,” Bulich said. “I wouldn’t even think about buying hamburger meat or a steak or something like that.”
Now she worries that she will lose her food stamps in the coming months because of her extra income.
Michael Altfest, director of community engagement at the Alameda County Community Food Bank in Oakland, said his organization now provides about 4.5 million pounds of food a month, up from below 4 million in January. The group has also budgeted for a 66% increase in fuel costs. That's mostly because of higher gas prices but also because it's now using more trucks to keep up with the demand for food.
Altfest’s own rent recently jumped 14%, he said, forcing him to recalibrate his budget.
“All these costs are going up, all at once,” he said. “The people here were stretched already.”
Last month's modest slowdown in inflation might enable the Fed to slow the pace of its increases in short-term rates when it meets in late September — a possibility that sent stock prices jumping. How quickly and how far the Fed raises borrowing costs has significant effects on the economy: Sharper hikes tend to reduce consumer and business borrowing and spending and make a recession more likely.
If the Fed doesn't have to raise rates as high to restrain prices, it has a better chance of engineering an elusive “soft landing,” whereby growth slows enough to curb high inflation but not so much as to cause a recession.
Still, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has emphasized that the central bank needs to see a series of lower readings on core inflation before it will pause rate hikes. The Fed has boosted its short term rate by 2.25 percentage points in the past four meetings, the fastest series of increases since the early 1980s.
Biden has pointed to declining gas prices as a sign that his policies — including large releases from the nation’s strategic oil reserve — are helping lessen the higher costs that have hurt household finances, particularly for lower-income Americans and Black and Hispanic households.
Republicans are stressing the persistence of high inflation as a top issue in the midterm congressional elections. Polls show that elevated prices have driven Biden’s approval ratings down sharply.
There are other signs that inflation may fade in coming months. Americans’ expectations for future inflation have fallen, according to a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, likely reflecting the drop in gas prices that is highly visible to most consumers.
Inflation expectations can be self-fulfilling: If people believe inflation will stay high or worsen, they’re likely to take steps — such as demanding higher pay — that can send prices higher in a self-perpetuating cycle.
Companies then often raise prices to offset higher their higher labor costs. But the New York Fed survey found that Americans’ foresee lower inflation one, three and five years from now than they did a month ago.
Supply chain snarls are also loosening, with fewer ships moored off Southern California ports and shipping costs declining. Prices for commodities like corn, wheat and copper have fallen steeply.
Stubborn inflation isn’t just a U.S. phenomenon. Prices have jumped in the United Kingdom, Europe and in less developed nations such as Argentina.
In the U.K., inflation soared 9.4% in June from a year earlier, a four-decade high. In the 19 countries that use the euro currency, it reached 8.9% in June compared with a year earlier, the highest since record-keeping for the euro began.

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Joe Biden has spoken with King Charles III to offer his condolences on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The White House said Wednesday that Biden ” recalled fondly the Queen’s kindness and hospitality.”
Biden and the First Lady, Jill Biden, stayed with the queen at Windsor Castle in June.
The White House said Biden ”also conveyed the great admiration of the American people for the queen, whose dignity and constancy deepened the enduring friendship and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.”
Biden is to join other world leaders next week at the queen’s state funeral in London.

Their guns are sounding at one-minute intervals as her coffin travels to Westminster Hall, where it will lie in state.
Big Ben, the great and fabled bell housed in the Elizabeth Tower, also tolled at one-minute intervals during the procession Wednesday. The bell and its tower have been undergoing restoration, and the tolling was the most sustained since that work.
Britain is mourning for Elizabeth, who died last week at her summer retreat in Scotland at age 96 after 70 years on the throne. King Charles III is the new monarch.
___
LONDON — Walking behind the gun carriage bearing Queen Elizabeth II’s oak coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall are her children: King Charles III, the country’s new sovereign, with Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
The second row is made up of Charles’ two sons: Prince William, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. To Harry’s left is Anne’s son, Peter Phillips.
Behind them are the Earl of Snowdon, the Duke of Gloucester and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, who is Princess Anne’s husband.
Behind the royals are four key members of Charles’ staff: the Master of the Household, the Principal Private Secretary, the Equerry and the Treasurer. Prince William’s equerry walked behind them.
___
LONDON — Troops from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, military bands and mounted police are leading the procession of Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
Also walking in front of the coffin Wednesday are the household, or staff members, who worked for the queen. They include her private secretary, her pages and stewards.
The coffin is on a gun carriage from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery. It is flanked by 10 pallbearers and Grenadier Guards.
The coffin is draped with the royal standard and adorned with the Imperial State Crown, which the queen wore for her coronation 70 years ago, resting on a velvet cushion and a wreath of flowers.
The flowers include white roses, dahlias, pine from the gardens at the queen’s Balmoral estate in Scotland, and lavender and rosemary from the gardens at Windsor Castle.
Meanwhile, a Guard of Honor is in position in Parliament Square near Westminster Hall. The guards are accompanied by a Royal Marines Band which will have their drums draped and muffled.
___
LONDON — The line to view the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II is likely to be one of the longest that London has ever seen.
The line already stretches from Parliament, across nearby Lambeth Bridge and along the opposite bank of the River Thames.
Authorities have planned for a 10-mile (16-kilometer) route, with 1,000 marshals, stewards and police officers on hand at any given time to help manage it. An army of other volunteers includes multi-faith pastors and sign-language interpreters.
People are being warned they may have to wait for hours, but they are being given numbered wristbands so they can take food and bathroom breaks without losing their place in line.
When they get to Parliament mourners must pass through airport-style security screening. Prohibited items include liquids, spray paint, knives, fireworks, flowers, candles, stuffed toys and “advertising or marketing messages.”
___
LONDON — Lines are forming along the bank of the River Thames in anticipation of seeing Queen Elizabeth II lying in state, even though authorities warn the wait could be up to 30 hours.
The public will be able to pay their respects to the deceased monarch at Westminster Hall from 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) Wednesday, after a procession bearing her coffin on a gun carriage from Buckingham Palace to Parliament.
The line starts near Lambeth Bridge and officials say it could eventually stretch several miles (kilometers) to Southwark Park in southeast London.
Some were so keen they started waiting early.
Vanessa Nathakumaran is first in line after turning up at 11:30 a.m. on Monday.
“It’s going to be an emotional one, and when you go in there, my main aim is to show respect,” she said.
Chris Imafidon is sixth in line and said, “I have 1,001 emotions when I see her. I want to say, God, she was an angel, because she touched many good people and did so many good things.”
___
LONDON — Horses, troops and military bands performed a full dress rehearsal before daybreak for the procession that will take Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin from Buckingham Palace to Parliament’s Westminster Hall.
Officials say the horses taking part have undergone special training for the Wednesday afternoon event, including how to handle mourners and flowers and flags being thrown toward the procession.
“They get exposure to loud noises, crowds, flags, flowers, people sobbing, even to the point of banging lots of drums and making aggressive noises,” said Sergeant Tom Jenks, who will be leading the gun carriage that carries the queen’s coffin.
Among the horses is Cassius, an 18-year-old horse who participated in former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s funeral in 2013.
The procession on Wednesday afternoon will feature King Charles III and other royals walking behind the queen’s coffin to Westminster Hall in Parliament. The queen’s coffin will lie in state for four days for people to pay their respects.
___
LONDON — Crowds are gathering in London as the city prepares for a somber procession taking Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament.
There, the late monarch will lie in state for four days before her funeral next Monday.
Huge crowds are expected for Wednesday’s somber afternoon procession, and long lines are also predicted to view the coffin at Parliament’s Westminster Hall.
People are standing behind metal barriers or sitting on folding chairs. Under gray skies hours before the coffin was scheduled to leave the monarch’s official London residence, they have umbrellas at the ready and takeout coffees in hand.
The coffin will be taken on a horse-drawn gun carriage past the crowds of mourners, with the queen’s son and heir King Charles III and other royals walking behind.
The queen died in Scotland last Thursday at age 96, ending a 70-year reign.
Crowds have lined the route of the queen’s coffin whenever it has been moved on its journey from Scotland back to London.

NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of HUMBL, Inc. ("HUMBL" or the "Company") (OTCMKTS: HMBL). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether HUMBL and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
HUMBL began trading publicly on November 12, 2020, after a reverse merger with Tesoro Enterprises, Inc. HUMBL failed to disclose that the HUMBL Pay App did not have the basic functionality promised to investors and that several of the Company's hyped international business partnerships had a very low chance of contributing material revenues to the Company's bottom line. The Company also sold a series of highly speculative unregistered securities called BLOCK Exchange Traded Index ("ETX") products. These products purported to "simplify digital asset investing" for customers seeking exposure to cryptocurrency investments. In reality, these were unregistered securities that were collateralized by a variety of highly speculative and risky digital assets. On April 25, 2022, the price of HUMBL common stock hit a low of $0.11 per share, down from a price high of $6.84 during the Class Period. Likewise, the price of BLOCK ETX has dropped over 87% from its height during the Class Period and has not recovered.
Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, Pomerantz pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 85 years later, Pomerantz continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomlaw.com

Autopsy finds ‘severe neglect’ to blame for man’s death in bedbug-infested jail cell
ATLANTA (AP) — A man who died in a bedbug-infested cell in a Georgia jail’s psychiatric wing “died due to severe neglect,” according to an independent autopsy released Monday by lawyers for his family.
Lashawn Thompson, 35, died in September, three months after he was booked into the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. Public outrage over his death spread last month after a lawyer for his family, Michael Harper, released photos of Thompson’s face and body covered in insects.
“Mr. Thompson was neglected to death,” says the autopsy report written by Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr., a former chief medical examiner in Washington, D.C., who is now a professor and chair of the pathology department at Howard University College of Medicine.
The independent autopsy report lists the cause of death as “Complications due to Severe Neglect,” with “Untreated Decompensated Schizophrenia” identified as a contributing cause.
A combination of dehydration, rapid weight loss and malnutrition, complicated by untreated decompensated schizophrenia led to a fatal cardiac arrythmia, the report says. Because he did not receive necessary medical care or adequate food, water and shelter, his manner of death is homicide, Mitchell wrote.
An earlier report from the Fulton County medical examiner’s office found no obvious signs of trauma on Thompson’s body but noted a “severe bed bug infestation.” It lists his cause of death as “undetermined.”
The new autopsy “confirms that this is one of the most deplorable in-custody deaths in the history of America,” said prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the family.
The family’s lawyers and advocates gave credit to Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat, who has publicly called Thompson’s death “absolutely unconscionable.” They called on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to take responsibility and act quickly to fix the problems at the jail and urged the district attorney’s office to bring criminal charges. They also called on Gov. Brian Kemp to address a “mental health crisis” in the state.
Labat, who took office in 2021 and has long advocated for a new jail, has said Thompson’s death shows that the current jail cannot provide “safe and humane detention.” His office did not immediately respond Monday to an email seeking comment on the independent autopsy report.
Labat has said that once investigations into Thompson’s death — an internal one by his office and another by the Atlanta Police Department — are complete, they will be turned over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He announced the resignations of three top jail staffers last month.
Thompson had lost 32 pounds, or about 18% of his body weight, during his three months at the Fulton County Jail and showed evidence of dehydration, the report says. In addition to an “innumerable number of insects” all over his body, his hands, feet, fingernails and toenails were filthy, it says.
Medical records from the jail indicate that Thompson received his last dose of the medications he’d been prescribed for his mental health issues 32 days before his death, the report says.
“Mr. Thompson was completely reliant on his caregivers to provide both day-to-day care as well as the acute life-saving care that was needed to save him from the untreated decompensated schizophrenia,” the report says.
The independent autopsy was paid for by the Autopsy Initiative of the Know Your Rights Camp, an initiative started by former NFL star and activist Colin Kaepernick.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mortgage rates continue to jump, home sales slump and credit cards and auto loans increase. Savings rates are slightly juicier, though.
As the Federal Reserve steadily increases interest rates, many economists say they fear that a recession remains inevitable in the coming months — and with it, job losses that could cause hardship for households already hurt worst by inflation.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised its key short-term rate by three-quarters of a point for a fourth straight time, even as its previous rate increases are being felt by households at all income levels. It was the Fed’s sixth rate hike this year.
The Fed’s latest move raised its benchmark rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%, the highest level in 14 years. Its steady rate increases have already made it increasingly costly for consumers and businesses to borrow — for homes, autos and other purchases. And more hikes are almost surely coming.
Here’s what to know:
HOW DOES RAISING INTEREST RATES REDUCE INFLATION?
If one definition of inflation is “too much money chasing too few goods,” then by making it more expensive to borrow money, the Fed hopes to reduce the amount of money in circulation, eventually lowering prices.
WHICH CONSUMERS ARE MOST AFFECTED?
Anyone borrowing money to make a large purchase, such as a home, car, or large appliance, will take a hit, according to Scott Hoyt, an analyst with Moody’s Analytics.
“The new rate pretty dramatically increases your monthly payments and your cost,” he said. “It also affects consumers who have a lot of credit card debt — that will hit right away.”
That said, Hoyt noted that household debt payments, as a proportion of income, remain relatively low, though they have risen lately. So even as borrowing rates steadily rise, many households might not feel a much heavier debt burden immediately.
“I’m not sure interest rates are top of mind for most consumers right now,” Hoyt said. “They seem more worried about groceries and what’s going on at the gas pump. Rates can be something tricky for consumers to wrap their minds around.”
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CREDIT CARD RATES?
Even before the Fed’s latest decision, credit card borrowing rates have reached their highest level since 1996, according to Bankrate.com, and these will likely continue to rise.
And with inflation raging, there are signs that Americans are increasingly relying on credit cards to help maintain their spending. Total credit card balances have topped $900 billion, according to the Federal Reserve, a record high, though that amount isn’t adjusted for inflation.
John Leer, chief economist at Morning Consult, a survey research firm, said its polling suggests that more Americans are spending down the savings they accumulated during the pandemic and are using credit instead. Eventually, rising rates could make it harder for those households to pay off their debts.
Those who don’t qualify for low-rate credit cards because of weak credit scores are already paying significantly higher interest on their balances, and they’ll continue to.
As rates have risen, zero percent loans marketed as “Buy Now, Pay Later” have also become popular with consumers. Yet longer-term loans of more than four payments that these companies offer are subject to the same increased borrowing rates as credit cards.
For people who have home equity lines of credit or other variable-interest debt, rates will increase by roughly the same amount as the Fed hike, usually within one or two billing cycles. That’s because those rates are based in part on banks’ prime rate, which follows the Fed’s.
WHAT IF I WANT TO BUY A CAR?
Since the Federal Reserve began increasing rates in March, the average new vehicle loan has gone up nearly 2 percentage points, from 4.5% to 6.3% in October, according to the Edmunds.com auto site. Used vehicle loans are up 1.5% to 9.6%. For both new and used, loan lengths have gotten slightly longer to just over 70 months on average.
Key, though, is the monthly payment, on which most people base their automobile purchases. Edmunds says that since March it’s up $46 to $703 for new vehicles. The payment is up $21 per month for used vehicles to $564.
Edmunds Director of Insights Ivan Drury says the increased payments probably won’t make much of a difference in buying habits, but they’re hitting totals that could stop people from buying. “Now that we’re past $700 per month (on new vehicles) people will drop out of the market,” he said.
HOW ARE SAVERS AFFECTED?
The rising returns on high-yield savings accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs) have put them at levels not seen since 2009, which means households may want to boost savings wherever possible. You can also now earn more on bonds and other fixed-income investments.
Though savings, CDs, and money market accounts don’t typically track the Fed’s changes, online banks and others that offer high-yield savings accounts can be exceptions. These institutions typically compete aggressively for depositors. (The catch: They sometimes require significantly high deposits.)
In general, banks tend to capitalize on a higher-rate environment to boost their profits by imposing higher rates on borrowers, without necessarily offering juicer rates to savers.
WILL THIS AFFECT RENTS? HOME OWNERSHIP?
Last week, the average fixed mortgage rate topped 7%, its highest point in 14 years, meaning that rates on home loans are about twice as expensive as they were a year ago.
Mortgage rates don’t always move perfectly in tandem with the Fed increase, instead tracking the expected yield on the 10-year Treasury note. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has reached 4%, its highest level since 2011.
Sales of existing homes have declined for eight straight months as borrowing costs have become too high a hurdle for many Americans already paying more for food, gas and other necessities.
WILL IT BE EASIER TO FIND A HOUSE IF I’M STILL LOOKING TO BUY?
If you’re financially able to proceed with a home purchase, you’re likely to have more options than at any time in the past year.
HOW HAVE THE RATE HIKES INFLUENCED CRYPTO?
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have dropped in value since the Fed began raising rates. So have many previously high-valued technology stocks. Bitcoin has plunged from a peak of about $68,000 to under $20,000.
Higher rates mean that safe assets like Treasuries have become more attractive to investors because their yields have increased. That makes risky assets like technology stocks and cryptocurrencies less attractive, in turn.
Still, bitcoin continues to suffer from problems separate from economic policy. Two major crypto firms have failed, shaking the confidence of crypto investors.
WHAT’S PROMPTING THE RATE INCREASES?
The short answer: Inflation. Over the past year, inflation has clocked in at a painful 8.2%. So-called core prices, which exclude food and energy, also rose faster than expected.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned last month that, “our responsibility to deliver price stability is unconditional” — a remark widely interpreted to mean the Fed will fight inflation with rate increases even if it leads to deep job losses or a recession.
The goal is to slow consumer spending, thereby reducing demand for homes, cars and other goods and services, eventually cooling the economy and lowering prices.
Powell has acknowledged that aggressively raising interest rates would “bring some pain.”
WHAT ABOUT MY JOB?
Some economists argue that widespread layoffs will be necessary to slow rising prices. One argument is that a tight labor market is fueling wage growth and higher inflation. In August, the economy gained 315,000 jobs. There are roughly two job openings advertised for every unemployed worker.
“Job openings continue to exceed job hires, indicating employers are still struggling to fill vacancies,” said Odeta Kushi, an economist with First American.
WILL THIS AFFECT STUDENT LOANS?
Borrowers who take out new private student loans should prepare to pay more as as rates increase. The current range for federal loans is between about 5% and 7.5%.
That said, payments on federal student loans are suspended with zero interest until Dec. 31 as part of an emergency measure put in place early in the pandemic. President Joe Biden has also announced some loan forgiveness, of up to $10,000 for most borrowers, and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients.
IS THERE A CHANCE THE RATE HIKES WILL BE REVERSED?
Stock prices rose in August based on hopes that the Fed would reverse course. But it looks increasingly unlikely that rates will come down anytime soon. Economists expect Fed officials to signal additional increases in 2023, possibly to nearly 5%.
WILL THERE BE A RECESSION?
Short-term rates at these levels will make a recession likelier by increasing the cost of mortgages, car loans, and business loans. While the Fed hopes that higher borrowing costs will slow growth by cooling the hot job market and capping wage growth, the risk is that the Fed could weaken the economy, causing a recession that would produce significant job losses.

Earthy mushrooms hold their own among a piquant red pepper relish — a riot of flavors. The relish’s base is known in Yoruba as ata din din, a condiment-like sauce common throughout West Africa made from ground bell pepper, onions, chilies and sometimes tomatoes. Roast the mushrooms until lightly browned and crisp, as they absorb a lot more flavor when they’ve been slightly dehydrated. Pickled onion adds crunch and a hint of acid, and a scattering of fresh herbs gives it all a refreshing lightness, while being a pretty garnish. Serve over steamed rice and fried sweet plantains, or reserve as a vegetable filling for moin moin.
Roasted Mushrooms in Ata Din Din
Total time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds mixed mushrooms, such as button, cremini, oyster, maitake and shiitake, cleaned, trimmed and torn or cut into 2-inch pieces, if large
- 8 thyme sprigs
- ½ cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
- Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
- 1 small red onion, peeled, trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 (1-inch) piece ginger, scrubbed and cut into slices
- 1 red scotch bonnet or habanero chile, cut in half lengthwise
- ½ cup chopped fresh mixed herbs, such as cilantro, dill or parsley, or a combination
STEPS
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Spread the mushrooms and thyme sprigs in an even layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with ¼ cup oil. Season with salt and, using your hands, toss to coat. Roast, turning the pan halfway through and tossing the mushrooms, until mushrooms are golden brown and crisp along the edges, about 25 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the ata din din: As the mushrooms roast, finely chop half of the red onion and transfer it to a small bowl. Add the vinegar, season with a pinch of salt and set aside to pickle while you continue cooking. Using a food processor, coarsely chop the remaining half onion, the roasted red peppers, garlic and ginger. Alternatively, you can chop each ingredient with a sharp knife.
- In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the red-pepper mixture and chili halves to the skillet and bring up to a simmer. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until any liquid from the vegetables evaporates and the relish turns a shade darker, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt. Remove the thyme sprigs from the mushrooms and add the mushrooms to the red-pepper relish. Stir to combine.
- Remove from heat, discard the chili pieces and add in the chopped herbs. Stir to combine. Drain the pickled red onion and top the mushrooms with it. Serve hot, alongside some steamed rice or a grain of your choice and fried sweet plantains.

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (WCIA) – A bloodhound from Illinois took home the top prize at the prestigious Westminster Dog Show Wednesday night, becoming the first-ever dog of his breed to win Best in Show.
His show name is Toot My Own Horn, but he’s also goes by Trumpet.
The four-year-old bloodhound won the competition’s top honor after being chosen as the best of his breed and group the previous day. He is the 146th champion of the national event, and the seventh hound to ever win the honor.
Trumpet is owned by Chris and Bryan Flessner, Heather Buehner and Tina Kocar.
Buehner has been Trumpet’s handler ever since he started competing at 10 months of age.
“He was kind of born a show dog; his father won the Hound group at Westminster in 2014,” Buehner said. “So, we had high hopes for Trumpet.”
Almost 3,500 dogs took part in the 2022 competition, representing around 200 breeds in total. Runners-up included a French bulldog, a German shepherd, a Maltese, an English setter, a Samoyed and a Lakeland terrier.

LOS ANGELES — Kirstie Alley, who won an Emmy for her role on "Cheers" and starred in films including "Look Who's Talking," died Monday. She was 71.
Alley died of cancer that was only recently discovered, her children True and Lillie Parker said in a post on Twitter. Alley's manager Donovan Daughtry confirmed the death in an email to The Associated Press.
"As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother," her children's statement said.
She starred opposite Ted Danson as Rebecca Howe on "Cheers," the beloved NBC sitcom about a Boston bar, from 1987 to 1993. She joined the show at the height of its popularity after the departure of original star Shelley Long.
Alley would win an Emmy for best lead actress in a comedy series for the role in 1991. She would take a second Emmy for best lead actress in a miniseries or television movie in 1993 for playing the title role in the CBS TV movie "David's Mother."
She had her own sitcom on the network, "Veronica's Closet," from 1997 to 2000.
In the 1989 comedy "Look Who's Talking," which gave her a major career boost, she played the mother of a baby who's inner thoughts were voiced by Bruce Willis. She would also appear in the 1990 sequel "Look Who's Talking Too."
John Travolta, her co-star in both films, paid her tribute in an Instagram post.
"Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I've ever had," Travolta said, along with a photo of Alley. "I love you Kirstie. I know we will see each other again."
She would play a fictionalized version of herself in the 2005 Showtime series "Fat Actress," a show that drew comedy from her public and media treatment over her weight gain and loss.
And in recent years she appeared on several reality shows, including "Dancing With the Stars."
A native of Wichita, Kansas, Alley attended Kansas State University before dropping out and moving to Los Angeles.
Her first television appearances were as a game show contestant, on "The Match Game" in 1979 and Password" in 1980.
She made her film debut in 1982's "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan."

BEIJING (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen arrived in Beijing on Thursday for meetings with Chinese leaders as part of efforts to revive relations that are strained by disputes about security, technology and other irritants.
Yellen planned to focus on stabilizing the global economy and challenging Chinese support of Russia during its invasion of Ukraine, Treasury officials in Washington told reporters ahead of the trip.
The secretary was due to meet with Chinese officials, American businesspeople and members of the public, according to Treasury officials. They gave no details, but said Yellen wouldn’t meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Yellen follows Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who met Xi last month in the highest-level U.S. visit to Beijing in five years. The two agreed to stabilize relations but failed to agree on improving communications between their militaries.
Yellen earlier warned against economic decoupling, or disconnecting U.S. and Chinese industry and markets. Businesspeople have warned the world might split into separate markets, slowing innovation and economic growth, as both governments tighten controls on trade in technology and other goods deemed sensitive.
Yellen said earlier the two governments “can and need to find a way to live together” in spite of their strained relations over geopolitics and economic development.
The most recent flareup came after President Joe Biden referred to Xi as dictator. The Chinese protested, but Biden said his blunt statements about China are “just not something I’m going to change very much.”
Relations have been strained by disputes over technology, security, China's assertive policy abroad and conflicting claims to the South China Sea and other territory.
Washington has tightened restrictions imposed by Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, on Chinese access to processor chips and other U.S. technology on security grounds.
Ties became especially testy after a Chinese surveillance balloon flew over the United States in February and was shot down.
This week, Beijing responded to U.S. technology controls by announced unspecified curbs on exports of gallium and germanium, two metals used in making semiconductors, solar panels, missiles and radar.

Follow live updates and results from Election Day 2022 here.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is headed to the U.S. Senate following a campaign full of personal health debates and a fight for control of one of the nation's battleground states. He defeated Trump-endorsed celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz.
The Senate seat was vacated by retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, creating the first open Senate seat in Pennsylvania in a dozen years. Fetterman's victory helps the Democrats as they look to secure bigger margins on Capitol Hill.
Currently, Democrats hold a narrow majority in the House, and the Senate is split at 50-50, with Vice President Harris holding a tie-breaking vote.
Fetterman's health came into question after he suffered a stroke days before the primary; he needed to undergo a pacemaker implant procedure. For two months he did not return to the campaign trail and only did video appearances.
Fetterman did go back on the road and used closed captioning for some interviews.
Oz, who rose to prominence in appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, announced his bid for the Senate last year based on opposition to the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Oz has promoted hydroxychloroquine as a COVID treatment, has previously been criticized for other health recommendations, and has testified at a Senate hearing on deceptive advertising for diet supplements.

(KTLA) – “Hotline Bling”? More like hotline fling.
Drake is the latest artist to be struck by an object thrown by a fan while performing on stage.
This happened Wednesday night during the rapper’s first show of his It’s All a Blur tour, which opened at the United Center in Chicago.
As the former “Degrassi” star sang a slowed-down version of Ginuwine’s “So Anxious,” a phone came flying from the crowd. It looked like Drake almost caught it, but it ended up hitting his hand and flying off the stage.
Video of the incident was captured on social media.
This dangerous practice by fans has been making headlines recently. Bebe Rexha had to get stitches after a fan chucked a phone at her face during a concert in New York City. Kelsea Ballerini was also hit by what was believed to be a bracelet during a performance in Idaho.
While she wasn’t hurt, Pink was also performing when a fan tossed their dead mother’s ashes on stage at the British Summer Time Hyde Park Festival in late June.
“Is this your mom?” Pink responded, with a shocked look on her face. “I don’t know how I feel about this!”
Drake’s current tour is a collaboration with rapper 21 Savage.

Texas installs additional layers of razor wire to stop illegal crossings
Gov. Abbott says crews working around the clock to secure border in federal government's absence
The Texas National Guard began installing more razor wire along the border this week to stop illegal immigrants from crossing into Texas from Mexico.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted images of National Guard soldiers unraveling bundles of razor-lined wire at the border on Monday.
"Texas National Guard are installing additional layers of razor wire in high-traffic areas for illegal crossings at the Texas-Mexico border," the governor said. "They’re working around the clock to secure the border in the federal government’s absence."
MIGRANTS CROSSING THE BORDER SHOW SIGNS OF ‘WORSENING TRAUMA,’ INCLUDING SEXUAL ASSAULT: REPORT
The move comes just days after Abbott issued a press release on Dec. 29, 2022, highlighting actions taken by the state through Operation Lone Star to take on illegal immigration where federal agencies have failed.
Abbott said the multi-agency effort led to more than 336,000 migrant apprehensions and more than 23,000 criminal arrests since its launch in March 2021.
TEXAS RANCHERS PLEAD FOR HELP FROM GOV. ABBOTT AFTER THIRD ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN AMID MIGRANT CRISIS
Of those criminal arrests, more than 20,000 felony charges were filed.
Abbott also said the Texas Department of Public Safety, which is collaborating with the National Guard to execute Operation Lone Star, seized more than 354 million lethal doses of fentanyl.

"Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border," Abbott’s press release reads. "Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Biden’s open border policies."

During a Time of Rapid Development, the California-Based Beverage Franchise Concept Anticipates a Year of Significant Growth
PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sip Fresh, an innovative, handcrafted juice and beverage concept, is positioned for significant growth in 2023, capitalizing on current industry trends. According to Technomic, the cold beverage category is expected to double in size versus pre-pandemic levels by 2026, with non-carbonated beverages fueling most of that growth. The beverage industry is predicted to grow by a whopping $88.7 billion in the coming year, making beverage franchises more sought out than ever before. Sip Fresh recognized this trend when it introduced its line of high quality, fresh-fruit based beverages which resonates with consumers in this hot growing segment of the beverage market.
The beverage brand began franchising efforts in the Fall of 2022 with the signing of its first multi-unit franchisee in the California market, with multi-unit opportunities in the Las Vegas and Colorado markets, and most recently, a Southern California franchise partner who has committed to the Los Angeles market. The latest store opening in the Phoenix, AZ metro area has been met with great success, further emphasizing consumer demand for delicious, handcrafted drinks made with fresh ingredients as the "go-to" non-carbonated family-friendly beverage option.
"Sip Fresh has been ahead of the beverage trends for quite a while now," said Sharon Arthofer, CEO and Founder of Sip Fresh. "This brand was created to bring a fresh, new offering to the quick service beverage category by combining quality ingredients that consumers already know and love and offering it to them in a fun, engaging and delightful way."
Sip Fresh's rapid growth over the last year is a testament to the brand's ability to be cutting edge. Consumers are looking for brands that not only provide extraordinary product offerings, but also demonstrate an engaging social interaction in every visit – something that Sip Fresh delivers to every guest. As noted by the New York Times, "Engagement is the catchword for 2023," which perfectly aligns with the Sip Fresh experience. The unique, vibrant store design and sampling program draws guests in to immerse themselves in the entire experience – from exploration to purchase. Guests are drawn to the Sip Fresh bar to sample from an array of large glass barrels filled with beautifully colored juices brimming with fresh fruit garnish. There is something for everyone on the Sip Fresh menu, including fresh juices, delicious smoothies, fruit infused teas, and specialty blended fruit drinks. The website boasts specialty "mocktail recipes" that can be made at home to add more fun to the product mix.
"We are motivated by the untapped potential in the beverage industry right now," added Arthofer. "We are fortunate to have a management team whose collective industry experience knows the value of the 'keep it simple" recipe for success. This encompasses the consumer's desire for simple ingredients, with the franchisee's goal for a simple operation. We serve that up in a 24oz serving, all day long."
Business trends continue to highlight the need for operating models that focus on efficiency and labor containment. The Sip Fresh operating model was designed with this in mind. Franchise operators want business models that allow them to focus on driving sales in a profitable manner.
"Our streamlined operations and unique beverage offerings are what set us apart from other beverage concepts," explained Frank Gonzales, VP of Franchise Development. "The Sip Fresh business model allows franchise owners to focus on driving sales and the guest experience while minimizing costs through efficient operations."
The brand is currently exploring opportunities with experienced franchisees and multi-unit operators in the Western and Southwestern United States. For franchising information and contact info, please visit www.sipfreshjuice.com/Franchising. For more information regarding Sip Fresh and their available menu items, please visit www.sipfreshjuice.com.
California-based Sip Fresh® opened its first store in 2017 with a mission to create delicious, handcrafted juices, in an interactive environment and unique presentation. The brand's focus on quality products and unforgettable experiences turns guests into regulars and juices into delightful Sip Fresh beverages are made for a new era in the beverage industry. The beautiful drinks, like the many 'Fresh Sips' and the fan-favorite Cha Cha Chamoy®, are fun to share with friends and family – both in-person and via social media.

This mother survived a genetic kidney disease. Now, her daughter is fighting it too
Nearly 10 years ago, Carol Soha went from being a name on a transplant list to a polycystic kidney disease survivor.
Now, the 75-year-old hopes to find a donor for her daughter, who is facing the same disease.
Polycystic kidney disease or PKD is an inherited disorder that causes uncontrolled growth of cysts in the kidney. The damage makes the kidney larger than normal, eventually leading to kidney failure, according to pkdcure.org.
“A person with PKD has a 50% chance to pass it on to each child,” said Soha, a retired nurse of Newark. “My PKD originally came from my grandfather, and he gave it to my mother who died at the age of 47.”
While kidney-related diseases affect all races and ethnicities, Black and Hispanic Americans are more likely to develop kidney disease and have worse outcomes. Black people are more than three times as likely, and Hispanics or Latinos are 1.3 times more likely to have kidney failure compared to white Americans, according to kidney.org.
Soha’s daughter, Deborah “Lara Beth” Kistler is in stage 5 of PKD. The 52-year-old woman is in desperate need of finding her “living kidney angel” soon, Soha said.
“For years, my daughter has had people line up and come very close to being her donor, but they were disqualified,” Soha said. “The family would get excited, then we get let down. It’s very difficult to find a living donor ... you have to be extremely healthy to give a kidney.”
April is designated National Donate Life Month and the need for awareness is ongoing to encourage organ donor registration. Delaware Online/The News Journal sat down with Soha about the donor process and going forward with testing.
What are the benefits of becoming a living donor?
It can be a very rewarding and positive experience − over 100,000 people are awaiting a kidney transplant, so donating a kidney is a courageous act of kindness, Soha said.
"Living kidney donors often experience a sense of satisfaction and pride for having helped someone in need," she said. "A kidney from a living donor generally starts to function immediately and lasts longer than a deceased donor's kidney."
Is there an age cutoff for being a living donor?
No. Soha said kidney transplants have been performed using organs from people over the age of 70. However, to be evaluated as a potential kidney donor, an individual must be at least 18 years old, she said.
“[Qualifying] also depends on your hospital and your health,” she said. "You can contact local transplant centers or there’s also the National Kidney Registry if you want to begin the process. It includes completing an initial screening questionnaire which asks questions relating to mental and physical health, lifestyle, and family history."
What does the living donor need to know about the surgery?
Soha explained that living donors can opt out of the surgery at any stage of the process. However, for those who proceed, the usual hospital stay can be up to four days and recovery is usually between one to three weeks. You can live a completely normal life with just one kidney after surgery, she said.
The procedure is almost always done laparoscopically, which is a preferred type of surgery that promotes less surgical pain, and quicker recovery time. A kidney transplant is one of the most common surgeries, dating back to the 1950s, she said.

Paul Pelosi, the husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been sentenced to five days in jail after being convicted Tuesday of misdemeanor driving under the influence in California, the Napa County District Attorney's Office announced.
Pelosi, 82, was arrested May 28 and later charged with driving under the influence and causing injury — "based upon an automobile collision," the DA said — and having a blood alcohol level above 0.08%.
The latter charge was dismissed after Pelosi entered a guilty plea.
Pelosi has already served two days, and will not have to stay in jail for two of the days due to good behavior, according to court records. He must also serve three years of probation and pay $4,927 in victim restitution for medical bills and lost wages.
Pelosi did not appear in court for his sentencing, as it is not required by California law, unless mandated by a judge.

California ‘Teacher of the Year’ accused of child sex abuse
NATIONAL CITY, Calif. (AP) — A onetime Teacher of the Year at a Southern California school pleaded not guilty Monday to multiple child sex abuse charges involving a former student, prosecutors said.
Jacqueline Ma, a 34-year-old teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary in National City near San Diego, was arrested last week.
Detectives began investigating after a mother reported suspicions that her 13-year-old was in an inappropriate relationship with a former teacher, according to the National City Police Department.
Police did not release details of the investigation because the alleged victim is a minor.
Ma pleaded not guilty to 15 criminal counts, including lewd acts upon a child and contact of minor with intent to commit a sexual offense, the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office said.
The Los Angeles Times reported National School District Superintendent Leighangela Brady said at a school board meeting March 8 that the community was trying to process the “unthinkable situation.”
Ma taught in the district since 2013 and had a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s in education, both from UC San Diego, according to her Teacher of the Year profile in the San Diego Union Tribune.
The award was announced last year by the San Diego County Office of Education.
Ma was held without bail. A bail review hearing was scheduled for Thursday.

Many people take melatonin supplements, or give their children melatonin supplements, to help them sleep. They typically come in pills that you swallow or dissolve on your tongue, or gummies that you can chew.
Recently, Google searches about mislabeled melatonin and a melatonin gummy study have been on the rise. Heidi texted VERIFY to ask if it's true melatonin dosage numbers are incorrect on labels.
THE QUESTION
Have studies found some melatonin supplements contain mislabeled doses?
THE SOURCES
Research letter on melatonin gummy quantities published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
Carl Baum, M.D., professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at the Yale School of Medicine
THE ANSWER
Yes, studies have found some melatonin supplements contain mislabeled doses.
WHAT WE FOUND
A peer-reviewed study in late April 2023 found that the majority of melatonin gummy brands contained quantities of melatonin that differed from the quantity advertised on the label.
Melatonin is a hormone your brain produces in response to darkness that helps regulate your sleep cycle, the National Institute of Health (NIH) says. People take supplements to increase the amount of melatonin in their bodies. Melatonin supplements may help with certain conditions, such as jet lag, delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, some sleep disorders in children, and anxiety before and after surgery, the NIH says.
The study on melatonin doses, published in a research letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), found that 22 out of 25 of the melatonin gummy products analyzed were inaccurately labeled. A gummy brand was classified “inaccurately labeled” if its individual gummies contained melatonin quantities that differed from what was listed on the bottle by more than 10%.
“In products that contained melatonin, the actual quantity of melatonin ranged from 74% to 347% of the labeled quantity,” the researchers said. One melatonin gummy brand didn’t actually have any melatonin in it at all.
This is not the first study to find melatonin products commonly have inaccurate labels. The researchers referenced a 2017 Canadian study that found similar results. The Canadian study’s analysis of 16 Canadian melatonin brands — which included liquids, capsules, tablets and gummies — found that the actual melatonin dose ranged from 17% to 478% of the labeled quantity.
The 2017 study found that the melatonin supplement that diverged the most from its labeled dose, the one that was 478% of the labeled quantity, was in the chewable category, which includes gummies. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine says gummies are the form of melatonin supplement that children are most likely to use.
While the appropriate melatonin dosage can vary depending on a person’s age and symptoms, the Sleep Foundation says the typical dosage ranges from 1 to 5 milligrams for adults. Doses lower than 1 milligram may be effective for certain sleep problems.
Scientists say short-term use of melatonin supplements appears to be safe for most people, but there isn’t enough research to make any conclusions about the effects of its long-term use.
Melatonin supplements are sometimes used as a long-term treatment option for sleep issues in children with certain conditions, such as learning disabilities like autism and ADHD. The NIH says there are few studies on melatonin supplements and how they impact children. There are uncertainties about what dose to use and when to give it, the effects of melatonin use over long periods of time and whether melatonin’s benefits outweigh its possible risks.
Melatonin can cause adverse reactions at higher doses, but the supplement is unlikely to cause a lethal overdose, the Sleep Foundation says. Side effects of melatonin such as headaches, stomach cramps, dizziness and mood changes are more likely when taken in higher doses.
The National Capital Poison Center says adverse effects of taking too much melatonin are typically mild, and “significant toxicity is not expected to occur.” Still, a National Capital Poison Center review of pediatric melatonin ingestions reported to the Poison Center between 2012 and 2021 found that 1.6% of reported ingestions resulted in more serious outcomes. Five children required mechanical ventilation, and two children under 2 years old died.
NIH tells consumers they should remember the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements less strictly than they do prescription or over-the-counter drugs.
The FDA does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements or their labeling before the supplements are sold to the public, the FDA says. But the FDA does periodically inspect dietary supplement manufacturing facilities and review labels after the products are put on the market. If the supplement is unsafe or doesn’t otherwise comply with the law, the FDA can work with the company to bring the supplement into compliance, ask the company to voluntarily recall the supplement or take action to remove the supplement from the market itself.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is an independent, scientific nonprofit organization that sets standards for medicines in the United States. While the law requires pharmaceuticals to meet USP standards, the same requirements don’t apply to supplements, the USP says.
Still, the USP does review dietary supplements for quality, including verification that the product contains the ingredients listed on the label and in the declared strength and amounts. If you use melatonin, or purchase it for someone else to use, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and other experts recommend looking for melatonin bottles marked with the USP “Dietary Supplement Verified” seal.
You can see what the USP seal looks like here.
“A USP stamp on the bottle, Cohen says, vastly decreases the likelihood of too much or too little melatonin in a supplement,” the JAMA study’s lead researcher told Consumer Reports in an interview. “‘But even if it has a USP stamp, that doesn’t mean it will be effective,’ he says.”
There are three verified melatonin supplements listed on the USP’s website. The verified supplements are the 3 mg and 5 mg tablets from NatureMade, and the 5 mg fast-dissolve tablets from Natrol.
Melatonin is not the only dietary supplement that could have mislabeled doses, says Carl Baum, M.D., professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at Yale School of Medicine.
"This is true of all dietary supplements, not just melatonin — this is one of 90,000 some odd products," Baum said. "So you really have to be careful when you're going out there. Something that even looks natural, may not be safe and may not be effective."

World Cup final: France takes on Argentina
Defending champion France faces Argentina in the World Cup final at Lusail Stadium in Qatar. Both teams are trying to win the biggest tournament in soccer for the third time.
France won in 1998 and in 2018. Brazil in 1962 was the last team to win back-to-back World Cup titles. Argentina won the title in 1978 and 1986. The Argentines also lost in the final in 2014.
Lionel Messi, one of soccer's greatest players of all time, is thought to be playing in his final World Cup and could win the ultimate prize for the first time if Argentina wins.
But having experienced defeat in the final of 2014 in Brazil, when Argentina lost 1-0 to Germany through extra time, Messi knows all too well the pain of having his World Cup dreams shattered.
Messi will lead an Argentina team containing Angel Di Maria, who starts for the first time since sustaining a foot injury against Poland in the final round of group games.
Video below: David Beckham on World Cup: 'I've never seen fans and nations come together like this before'
Di Maria takes the place of Leandro Paredes in midfield as Argentina again rolls out a 4-4-2 formation, with Messi one of the two forwards. Nicolas Tagliafico is preferred to Marcos Acuña at left back.
Kylian Mbappé starts up front for France alongside Olivier Giroud, who has overcome a minor knee injury. Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot come in for Ibrahima Konaté and Youssouf Fofana, respectively.

Mirissa Neff is interested in where cultures intersect.
Neff chronicled conflicts at the Haitian-Dominican border as a photographer. She traveled to Havana with a band exploring the connections between Cuban music and Louisiana jazz as a radio producer. She’s worked as a DJ, playing music inspired by equatorial beats. And she spent years studying Brazilian dance.
Now Mirissa is studying a new kind of connection. She directed her first film, titled This is National Wake.
It’s a documentary about a multi-racial punk band in South Africa during apartheid. It’s playing Monday, January 16 at the Miami Jewish Film Festival.
It’s no surprise Mirissa is interested in these cultural connections. She was raised by a mom from Barbados and a Russian Jewish dad. They lived in a brownstone on the Upper East Side of New York City in the 1970s, where Neff said David Bowie would hang out because her neighbor was his manager.
On the Jan. 10 episode of Sundial, we talk to Mirissa about how everything from dance to appearing on Sesame Street as a child makes its way into her work as a visual and audio storyteller.
On Sundial's previous episode, on Jan. 9, we talked to Germane Barnes. He’s an artist who uses architecture as his medium and has been living and working in South Florida for a decade.
Listen to Sundial Monday through Thursday on WLRN, 91.3 FM, live at 1 p.m., rebroadcast at 8 p.m. Missed a show? Find every episode of Sundial on your favorite podcast app, such as Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and Spotify.

Man accused in fatal Wisconsin parade attack withdraws plea
A man accused of killing six people and injuring dozens of others when he allegedly drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year withdrew his insanity plea Friday
WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A man accused of killing six people and injuring dozens of others when he allegedly drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year withdrew his insanity plea Friday.
Darrell Brooks, 40, appeared in Waukesha County Circuit Court where he's facing nearly 80 charges, including six homicide counts, in connection with the Nov. 21 incident in Waukesha. Brooks had changed his not guilty plea to not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect in June.
After the announcement on the plea change, the defense asked that the jury status hearing for Friday be rescheduled. The judge agreed and pushed the hearing to Sept. 19.
Last month, Judge Jennifer Dorow refused a defense motion to have the case against Brooks dismissed because of a July search of the defendant’s jail cell. Investigators and prosecutors were looking for information related to Brooks’ recent decision to change his plea.
His attorneys say the warrant for the search was deficient and that the action violated Brooks’ attorney-client privilege.
In denying the motion, Dorow said the paperwork seized, photocopied and return to the jail cell was not privileged material.
Dorow also rejected a motion to suppress some statements Brooks made to investigators after defense attorneys argued that he continued to be questioned after stating he wished to invoke his right to remain silent.

GOP firebrand Michele Fiore appointed to Nevada judgeship
Las Vegas (AP) — Following years of controversy, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman who moved to a rural Nevada county after losing a bid in November for statewide office was appointed unanimously Tuesday evening to a local judgeship.
Republican firebrand Michele Fiore, who does not have a law degree, will fill a seat on the Pahrump Justice Court in Nye County through 2024. Pahrump is located about 65 miles (100 kilometers) west of Las Vegas.
Her appointment to the bench over 17 other applicants marks the latest chapter in a decade-long political career marked by scandal – including reports of an FBI probe into her campaign finances and accusations of physical assault.
In a pitch to Nye County commissioners Tuesday night, Fiore said she would approach the judgeship with “integrity and honesty” because she has “been at the end of the political barrel.”
FBI agents subpoenaed records and searched Fiore’s home last year in northwest Las Vegas in connection with her campaign spending, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Earlier this year, she was sued by Las Vegas Councilwoman Victoria Seaman, who accused Fiore of breaking her finger in a physical fight at City Hall in January. The two were once good friends and close political allies.
And while serving in the state Assembly from 2012 to 2016, Fiore gained national attention for her support of rancher Cliven Bundy and his family during armed standoffs between militiamen and federal law enforcement officers in Bunkerville, Nevada, in 2014 and Malheur, Oregon, in 2016.
Fiore said Tuesday that she moved to Pahrump a week after she lost to incumbent state treasurer Zach Conine, a Democrat, in the Nov. 8 general election. Fiore had joined the race on the penultimate day of Nevada’s candidacy filing period in March, after campaigning for months as a Republican gubernatorial hopeful.
After the last-minute jump, the race for control of Nevada’s government finances drew significant attention across the state as Fiore’s past issues with the Internal Revenue Service resurfaced. She was once on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax liens.
Fiore said Tuesday night that she is ready to start a new life as “a Pahrump girl.” She detailed plans of living on a 2-acre lot that she said she had purchased over the summer, as well as completing a bachelor’s degree and taking the Nevada State Bar exam in the future.

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Asep Medical Holdings Inc. ("Asep Inc." or the "Company") (CSE: ASEP) (OTCQB: SEPSF) (FSE: JJ8) is pleased to announce that, through its subsidiaries Sepset Biosciences Inc. ("Sepset") and ABT Innovations Inc. ("ABT"), the Company is addressing antibiotic failure on two fronts — a novel diagnostic assay that detects severe sepsis in the emergency room (ER), and a peptide technology that combats hard-to-treat infections known as biofilms.
Antibiotic failure is generally referred to as any situation where bacteria survive antibiotic treatment, and the clinical symptoms of the infection persist1. With around 47-50 million sepsis cases per year worldwide2 and over 11 million deaths, faster and more accurate sepsis detection will save lives. In addition, there are currently no approved treatments for biofilm infections, which is alarming since 65%3 of all infections are biofilms.
Asep Inc.'s diagnostic technology, SepsetER TM, is a blood-based gene expression assay that can provide an early and accurate diagnosis of severe incidences of the deadly disease sepsis. SepsetER delivers results between 60-90 minutes whereas the conventional diagnostic tools may take approximately 8 - 36 hours. Early detection of sepsis along with timely, appropriate treatments increases the probability of survival for patients4 significantly.
In addition to speeding up the process of sepsis detection, Asep Inc. also offers a patented peptide technology that targets and suppresses biofilm regrowth and reduces inflammation, addressing the ineffectiveness of current treatments for a wide range of hard-to-treat infections. The technology covers a broad range of therapeutic applications, including bacterial biofilm infections (medical device infections, chronic infections, lung, bladder, wound, dental, skin, ear-nose and throat, sinusitis, orthopaedic, etc.), anti-inflammatories, anti-infective immune-modulators and vaccine adjuvants. This opens up a number of different potential paths to revenue generation for this ground-breaking technology.
To date, the Company and its subsidiaries have received over $20 million in non-dilutive grant funding from organizations, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Genome Canada and the University of British Columbia. The Company, through its pre-clinical partner iFyber LLC, has also received funding from the US Army for its novel antibiofilm peptide technology.
"Asep is addressing an unmet need in health care, which affects 49 million people per year. Having developed two new revolutionary technologies to diagnose sepsis and treat biofilm infection, the potential market opportunity for this company is massive as hospitals and clinics globally could be in line to treat their patients using these cutting-edge technologies," stated Dr. Robert E. W. Hancock, the founder, chairman and CEO of Asep Inc.
Asep Medical Inc. (asepmedical.com) is dedicated to addressing antibiotic failure by developing novel solutions for significant unmet medical needs. The Company is a consolidation of two existing private companies (Sepset Biosciences Inc. and ABT Innovations Inc.) that are both in the advanced development of both proprietary diagnostic tools, enabling the early and timely identification of severe sepsis as well as broad-spectrum therapeutic agents to address multidrug-resistant biofilm infections.
Sepset Biosciences Inc. (sepset.ca) is developing a diagnostic technology that involves a patient gene expression signature that predicts severe sepsis, one of the significant diseases leading to antibiotic failure since antibiotics are the primary treatment for sepsis. Despite this, sepsis is responsible for nearly 20% of all deaths on the planet. The SepsetER test is a blood-based gene expression assay that is straightforward to implement, and results are obtained in about an hour in the emergency room or intensive care unit. This proprietary diagnostic technology differs from current diagnostic tests in enabling diagnosis of severe sepsis within 1-2 hours of first clinical presentation (i.e., in the emergency room), while other diagnostics only provide diagnosis after 24-36 hours. Asep Inc. believes this will enable critical early decisions to be made by physicians regarding appropriate therapies and reduce overall morbidity and mortality due to sepsis.
ABT Innovations Inc.'s (abtinnovations.ca) peptide technology covers a broad range of therapeutic applications, including bacterial biofilm infections (medical device infections, chronic infections, lung, bladder, wound, dental, skin, ear-nose and throat, sinusitis, orthopaedic, etc.), anti-inflammatories, anti-infective immune-modulators and vaccine adjuvants. The company is in the pre-clinical development phase with promising data.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Whether it was the lingering drama of The Slap or the prominence of blockbusters in the best picture race, a bigger audience was lured back to the Oscars this year.
The 95th Academy Awards, which aired Sunday night on ABC, was viewed by an estimated 18.7 million, according to preliminary Fast National Live+Same Day numbers released Monday by ABC. That’s up 12% from last year’s show, but still low compared to most years.
The evening’s main counterprogramming, the season finale of “The Last of Us” pulled in 8.2 million viewers across HBO and HBO Max. The show began at 9 p.m. EDT, an hour after the Oscars started.
A frequent criticism of the Oscars is that the show celebrates films that don’t have wide appeal. This year was markedly different, however, with two billion-dollar blockbuster sequels in the mix: “Top: Gun Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” were both nominated for best picture. Angela Bassett was nominated for a Marvel movie, a first. Even the winning film, A24’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” made over $100 million at the global box office and played in theaters for months.
For many years, the Oscars were often the second most-watched television program of the year behind the Super Bowl. Until 2018, the Oscar telecast had never slipped below 30 million viewers, according to Nielsen records. The high-water mark was the 55 million people who watched “Titanic” clean up in 1998.
From the 43.7 million who watched in 2014, viewership declined steadily to 26.5 million in 2018, then went back up to 29.6 million in 2019, and 23.6 million in 2020. The bottom fell out with the pandemic-diminished show in 2021, seen by 9.85 million. It rebounded last year to 16.6 million, which was the second lowest-rated show ever.
Jimmy Kimmel, who presided over the ceremony in 2017 and 2018, returned to host the show, parachuting on to the Dolby Theatre stage. The show also featured performances from pop stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
Broadcast television viewership has gone down across the board in the streaming era, and awards shows have illustrated that. The show boasted 27.4 million total social interactions across Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and was the No. 1 worldwide trending topic on Twitter for its duration.
By Monday afternoon, Ke Huy Quan’s acceptance speech had over 1.3 million views on YouTube, and Brendan Fraser’s was up to 2.6 million.
The ABC broadcast also had 1.8 million views of the American Sign Language live stream.
“What we wanted to do was go out and execute a show that people would really like and a show people would talk about,” Oscars producer Glenn Weiss told The Hollywood Reporter in the hours after the show. “We think we did accomplish that. I sure hope that (Monday) delivers good news in the ratings front, but either way, I think it was a successful evening.”

Bill Maher says he’s no longer predicting that Democrats will be pummeled in the midterm elections, with abortion offering a “turning point” on momentum.
“Things have really turned around,” Maher told ITK in a recent interview.
“The Republicans are the dog that caught the car with abortion,” the HBO “Real Time” host said of the Supreme Court’s June ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the federal right to the abortion established by Roe v. Wade.
“They’ve been trying to do this for 50 years, and then now you notice that the Republican candidates don’t even want to be asked about the subject. And sometimes when they do get asked about it, they kind of backtrack: ‘Abortion, I guess I heard something about a ruling recently,’” Maher said.
Democrats, who currently hold majorities in the Senate and House, are trying to fend off long-expected GOP gains in November. Historical trends indicate that the president’s party almost always loses seats in midterm elections.
“I think what we’re finding out is that [abortion] is going to be the turning point for this midterm election,” said Maher — who in April projected that Democrats would “get their ass kicked in November.”
“We already know that there’s so many new voters who have registered because of that very reason,” Maher, 66, said of the reproductive rights issue. “And not just women. There’s lots of men also who don’t want kids. I think what we’re finding out is: Kids are brats, and no one wants them.”
The longtime liberal comedian said he has no plans to dole out dollars to Democrats ahead of the midterms.
Maher donated $1 million in 2012 to a super PAC supporting then-President Obama’s reelection bid and contributed the same amount to a committee affiliated with Senate Democrats in August 2018, just months ahead of the midterm elections that year.
“Not this year,” he said, “but I would certainly think about it again if [former President Trump] was running again in 2024.”
“If I thought money made a difference,” Maher added. “I mean, last time [Trump] ran, he spent way less than [2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton] and look how that turned out.”
“I mean, sometimes money can actually have the opposite effect. When they carpet bomb with campaign ads that people have seen 100 times, people wind up hating the person making the ad. Even if they liked them to begin with, they think, ‘God, if I see this ad one more time.’”
A fierce critic of Trump and Republicans, Maher has also made headlines — and has won praise in conservative circles — in recent months for calling out the “woke” politics of the far left.
Asked if there are any particular issues he’s shifted or changed his views on over time, Maher exclaimed, “I hope so. Yes, of course — I mean that’s called growing.”
“I’m so glad I’m not a politician. Politicians have to pretend that what they believed at 18 they still believe at 78, or else you’re flip-flopping and you’re not consistent,” Maher said.
“I’m consistent about evolving and growing and learning. New information comes along and OK, I can change my mind and I will,” the comic, who grew up in New Jersey, said.
“But basically my view of life, my view of politics, my liberal upbringing from my liberal parents — I think it’s pretty consistent. I think I know what is most important and kind of stick by it.”

Yatsen Holding Limited NEWS - YSG NEWS
CLASS ACTION CASE DETAILS: The filed complaint alleges that Yatsen Holding Limited made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), Yatsen and the other named defendants misled investors into believing that Yatsen's most significant brands, Perfect Diary and Little Ondine, were thriving, thereby driving Yatsen's "healthy" top-line growth at the time of its IPO and quarter after quarter thereafter. In truth, however, cosmetic and skincare sales of Perfect Diary and Little Ondine products were declining in the period leading up to (and including at the time of) the IPO and throughout 2021. Moreover, as the truth about Yatsen's business reached the market, the value of the Company's shares declined dramatically, causing Yatsen investors to suffer significant damages.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AS A SHAREHOLDER: If you have suffered a loss in Yatsen you have until November 22, 2022 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

I write frequently about the Reconstruction period after the Civil War not to make predictions or analogies but to show how a previous generation of Americans grappled with their own set of questions about the scope and reach of our Constitution, our government and our democracy.
The scholarship on Reconstruction is vast and comprehensive. But my touchstone for thinking about the period continues to be W.E.B. Du Bois’ “Black Reconstruction,” published in 1935 after years of painstaking research, often inhibited by segregation and the racism of Southern institutions of higher education.
I return to Du Bois, even as I read more recent work, because he offers a framework that is useful, I think, for analyzing the struggle for democracy in our own time.
The central conceit of Du Bois’ landmark study — whose full title is “Black Reconstruction: An Essay Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America, 1860-1880” — is that the period was a grand struggle between “two theories of the future of America,” rooted in the relationship of American labor to American democracy.
“What were to be the limits of democratic control in the United States?” Du Bois asks. “Was the rule of the mass of Americans to be unlimited, and the right to rule extended to all men regardless of race and color?” And if not, he continues, “How would property and privilege be protected?”
On one side in the conflict over these questions was “an autocracy determined at any price to amass wealth and power”; on the other was an “abolition-democracy based on freedom, intelligence and power for all men.”
The term “abolition-democracy” began with Du Bois and is worth further exploration.
Abolition-democracy, Du Bois writes, was the “liberal movement among both laborers and small capitalists” who saw “the danger of slavery to both capital and labor.” Its standard-bearers were abolitionists like Wendell Phillips and radical antislavery politicians like Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stephens, and in its eyes, “the only real object” of the Civil War was the abolition of slavery, and “it was convinced that this could be thoroughly accomplished only if the emancipated Negroes became free citizens and voters.”
It was also clear, to some within abolition-democracy, that “freedom in order to be free required a minimum of capital in addition to political rights.” In this way, abolition-democracy was an anticipation of social democratic ideology, although few of its proponents, in Du Bois’ view, grasped the full significance of their analysis of the relationship between political freedom, civil rights and economic security.
Opposing abolition-democracy, in Du Bois’ telling, were the reactionaries of the former Confederate South who sought to “reestablish slavery by force.” The South, he writes, “opposed Negro education, opposed land and capital for Negroes, and violently and bitterly opposed any political power. It fought every conception inch by inch: no real emancipation, limited civil rights, no Negro schools, no votes for Negroes.”
Between these two sides lay Northern industry and capital. It wanted profits, and it would join whichever force enabled it to expand its power and reach. Initially, this meant abolition-democracy, as Northern industry feared the return of a South that might threaten its political and economic dominance. It “swung inevitably toward democracy” rather than allow the “continuation of Southern oligarchy,” Du Bois writes.
It’s here that we see the contradiction inherent in the alliance between Northern industry and abolition-democracy. The machinery of democracy in the South “put such power in the hands of Southern labor that, with intelligent and unselfish leadership and a clarifying ideal, it could have rebuilt the economic foundations of Southern society, confiscated and redistributed wealth, and built a real democracy of industry for the masses of men.”
This — the extent to which democracy in the South threatened to undermine the imperatives of capital — was simply too much for Northern industry to bear. And so it turned against the abolition-democracy, already faltering as it was in the face of Southern reaction.
“Brute force was allowed to use its unchecked power,” Du Bois writes, “to destroy the possibility of democracy in the South, and thereby make the transition from democracy to plutocracy all the easier and more inevitable.”
In the end, “it was not race and culture calling out of the South in 1876; it was property and privilege, shrieking to its kind, and privilege and property heard and recognized the voice of its own.” What killed Reconstruction — beyond the ideological limitations of its champions and the vehemence of its opponents — was a “counterrevolution of property,” North and South.
Why is this still a useful framework for understanding the United States, close to a century after Du Bois conceived and developed this argument? As a concept, abolition-democracy captures something vital and important: that democratic life cannot flourish as long as it is bound by and shaped around hierarchies of status. The fight for political equality cannot be separated from the fight for equality more broadly.
In other words, the reason I keep coming back to “Black Reconstruction” is that Du Bois’ mode of analysis can help us (or, at least, me) look past so much of the ephemera of our politics to focus on what matters most: the roles of power, privilege and, most important, capital in shaping our political order and structuring our conflicts with one another.

A lawyer for the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group has been charged with conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol, authorities said Thursday.
Kellye SoRelle — general counsel for the antigovernment group — was arrested in Texas on charges including conspiracy to obstruct the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral college victory, the Justice Department said.
SoRelle, 43, is a close associate of Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers’ leader who is heading to trial later this month alongside other extremists on seditious conspiracy charges.
After Rhodes’ arrest in January, SoRelle told media outlets she was acting as the president of the Oath Keepers while he’s behind bars.
Prosecutors have accused Rhodes and his militia group of plotting for weeks to stop the transfer of power and keep former President Donald Trump in office, purchasing weapons, organizing military-style trainings and setting up battle plans.
SoRelle told The Associated Press last year — when FBI agents seized her phone as part of the Jan 6. investigation — that she had no knowledge of or involvement in the Capitol breach. She called the seizure of her phone “unethical” and the investigation “a witch hunt.”
SoRelle made an initial court appearance in Austin, Texas, and was released pending a virtual hearing scheduled for Tuesday before a Washington, D.C., federal court judge, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office in D.C. said. It wasn’t immediately clear if she has an attorney to speak on her behalf.
SoRelle was photographed with Rhodes outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 and was present at an underground garage meeting the night before the riot that’s been a focus for investigators.
The meeting included Rhodes and and Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, who is charged separately with seditious conspiracy alongside other members of the extremist group that describes themselves as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.”
Publicly released video of the meeting doesn’t reveal much about their discussion and prosecutors have said only that one of the meeting’s participants “referenced the Capitol.”
SoRelle was also on a call with Rhodes and other Oath Keepers days after the 2020 election during which Rhodes rallied his followers to prepare for violence, according to a transcript made public in court.
SoRelle is also charged with obstruction of an official proceeding, obstruction of justice for tampering with documents and a misdemeanor charge for entering Capitol grounds. The indictment says she persuaded others to destroy and conceal records sought by investigators.
SoRelle told the AP last September that agents seized her phone and provided her a search warrant that said it was related to an investigation into seditious conspiracy, among other crimes. The indictment against SoRelle made public Thursday does not include a charge of seditious conspiracy.
Rhodes and four co-defendants scheduled to go on trial starting Sept. 26 have said there was no plot to attack the Capitol and that their communications in the run up to Jan. 6 were about providing security for right-wing figures such as Roger Stone or preparing for attacks from left-wing antifa activists.
Rhodes, a former U.S. Army paratrooper, founded the Oath Keepers in 2009. The group recruits current and former military, police and first responders and pledges to “fulfill the oath all military and police take to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
A slew of its members have been charged in connection with Jan. 6. Three Oath Keepers have already pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy, a rare Civil War-era charge that’s historically been hard to prove. They are also cooperating with the Justice Department.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former gynecologist at the University of California, Los Angeles was found guilty Thursday of five counts of sexually abusing female patients, in a criminal case that came after the university system made nearly $700 million in lawsuit payouts.
The Los Angeles jury found Dr. James Heaps, a longtime UCLA campus gynecologist, not guilty of seven of the 21 counts and were deadlocked on the remaining charges.
In the wake of the scandal that erupted in 2019 following the doctor’s arrest, UCLA agreed to pay nearly $700 million in lawsuit settlements to hundreds of Heaps’ patients — a record amount by a public university amid a wave of sexual misconduct scandals by campus doctors in recent years.
Heaps, 65, had pleaded not guilty to 21 felony counts in the sexual assaults of seven women between 2009 and 2018. He has denied wrongdoing.
Heaps was indicted last year on multiple counts each of sexual battery by fraud, sexual exploitation of a patient and sexual penetration of an unconscious person by fraudulent representation.
The jury delivered a guilty verdict on three counts of sexual battery by fraud and two counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person. He was found not guilty of seven other counts of sexual battery and penetration, as well as one count of sexual exploitation. The jury was hung on the nine remaining counts, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial for those charges.
He is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 17.
The district attorney’s office said it has not decided whether prosecutors will retry the hung counts.
“The trauma Dr. Heaps inflicted on the very people he had sworn to care for is immeasurable.” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement. “While we respect the jurors’ decisions on the acquitted counts, we are obviously disappointed.”
Heaps’ attorney did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday.
“The horrible abuse he perpetrated on cancer patients and others who trusted him as their doctor has been exposed and justice was done,” attorney John Manly, who represented more than 200 women in civil cases against Heaps and UCLA, said in a statement after the verdict.
Sex abuse by doctors on college campuses has led to massive settlements at Ohio State University, Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University.
UCLA’s payouts exceed a $500 million settlement by Michigan State University in 2018 that was considered the largest by a public university. The University of Southern California, a private institution, has agreed to pay more than $1 billion to settle thousands of cases against the school’s longtime gynecologist, who still faces a criminal trial in Los Angeles.
UCLA patients said Heaps groped them, made suggestive comments or conducted unnecessarily invasive exams during his 35-year career. Women who brought the lawsuits said the university ignored their complaints and deliberately concealed abuse that happened for decades during examinations at the UCLA student health center, the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center or in Heaps’ campus office.
UCLA acknowledged it received a sex abuse complaint against Heaps from a patient in December 2017 and it launched an investigation the following month that concluded she was sexually assaulted and harassed, attorneys said.
Heaps, however, continued to practice until his retirement in June 2018. The university did not release its finding in the investigation until November 2019 — months after Heaps was arrested.
“UCLA Health is grateful for the patients who came forward,” the university said in a statement after the verdict. “Sexual misconduct of any kind is reprehensible and intolerable. Our overriding priority is providing the highest quality care while ensuring that patients feel safe, protected and respected.”

A quick search online reveals dozens, if not hundreds, of cordless vacuums available for purchase, all seemingly offering excellent quality for low prices. As experienced pet owners and neat freaks can attest, however, skimping on your vacuum can make the difference between an effortlessly clean living space and a frustratingly unproductive experience. With so many brands to choose from, let’s narrow things down to three that consistently offer high-quality cordless vacuums engineered to make you a chore day champion: Shark, Bissell and Dyson.
In this article: Shark IX141 Pet, Bissell Featherweight Cordless XRT and Dyson V11 Torque Drive Cordless Vacuum.
Shark
Shark offers an array of products, from hair care devices to steam mops. However, it’s best known for its line of vacuums, as it consistently manufactures powerful appliances designed for all kinds of cleaning applications. Its line of cordless vacuums covers the gamut from deep-cleaning upright models to breezy handheld vacs made for everyday spills and messes. It is continually adding new products to its roster, making it an excellent choice for those particular about the way their vacuum feels and operates.
Bissell
Bissell is similar to Shark in that it offers a wide range of products, but it focuses almost exclusively on floor cleaners. Its cordless vacuums are comparable to Shark’s in power and quality, but because it tends to price its products a bit lower, it’s a better choice for budget-conscious shoppers. Some of its vacuums make use of its cleaning and freshening solutions, so if you’re interested in built-in fragrances or sanitization, Bissell has the upper hand.
Dyson
Dyson is sometimes referred to as the Apple of vacuum cleaners, as its focus on loading its appliances with advanced features makes it a market leader. Its vacuums carry a significantly higher price tag than Shark or Bissell, but most people who have taken the plunge on a Dyson appliance simply can’t imagine going back to anything else. High-quality components, innovative designs and technology that includes adaptive suction and even lasers make Dyson’s cordless vacuums as functional as they are revolutionary.
Cordless vacuum considerations
- Weight. The lighter the vacuum, the easier and quicker it is to move around your home.
- Suction power. Minimize cleanup time by selecting a cordless vacuum with as much suction power as possible.
- Battery life. If you’re looking for a whole-house cleaner, make sure to choose a vacuum that will run long enough to get the job done.
- Air filtration. Look for a vac that provides advanced filtration to remove irritating dander, dust and pollen from your home’s carpets and furniture.
- Accessories. From charging stations to brush attachments, the right pack-ins ensure that your vacuum is ready to tackle the messes you encounter the most.
- Configuration options. Many cordless vacuums can transform from upright to handheld, making them multipurpose cleaners.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian gunmen opened fire on Israeli troops near a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank Wednesday, killing an Israeli army officer, the Israeli military said. Palestinian officials said that troops killed the gunmen.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said that two Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army, without providing additional details.
The military said soldiers spotted two individuals approaching the separation barrier in the northern West Bank and that it dispatched soldiers to the area. It said the two suspects were armed with automatic weapons and began shooting at troops, who returned fire.
The Israeli army confirmed that Maj. Bar Falah, 30, was killed by the gunmen in the shootout.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the Israeli army was holding the bodies of the two men. It identified them as Ahmad Abed, 23, and Abd al-Rahman Abed, 22, both from a village near the city of Jenin.
The Israeli military confirmed that Ahmad Abed was a member of the Palestinian Authority security services.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas praised the attack, hailing the two gunmen as “heroic martyrs.”
Wednesday’s violence was the latest in a long string of incidents involving deadly confrontations between soldiers and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent months, particularly around the city of Jenin, which has become a bastion for armed struggle against Israel.
Israel has been carrying out nightly arrest raids in West Bank cities, towns and villages since a spate of attacks against Israelis in the spring killed 19 people.
Israeli fire has killed scores of Palestinians during that time, making it the deadliest year in the occupied territory since 2016.
The Israeli military says the vast majority of those killed were militants or stone-throwers who endangered the soldiers. But several civilians have also been killed during Israel’s monthslong operation, including a veteran journalist and a lawyer who apparently drove unwittingly into a battle zone. Some local youths who took to the streets in response to the invasion of their neighborhoods have also been killed.
Israel says the arrest raids are meant to dismantle militant networks that have embedded themselves. The Palestinians say the operations are aimed at maintaining Israel’s 55-year military occupation of territories they want for an independent state.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians seek those territories for a future state.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jordan Spieth was caught in such a whirlwind after winning the Masters eight years ago, whether it was winging his way to New York for television appearances or throwing out the first pitch at a Texas Rangers game, that he never bothered to find a tailor for his green jacket.
Leave it to Augusta National, where every piece of the property is finely tailored, to take care of such details.
“I just had it everywhere and I never got it fixed,” Spieth said Monday, “and I think they have done it since here, because the arms certainly fit a lot better. I left a little room just in case I put on a few pounds over the years.”
That's some forward thinking.
Of course, a better solution would be to keep winning new ones.
There was a time when that seemed inevitable. Spieth was just 21 back in 2015, when he became the first wire-to-wire Masters champion since Ray Floyd nearly four decades earlier, tying Tiger Woods' then-record of 18 under along the way. He went on to win the U.S. Open that summer, and everything portended greatness for a kid who fell in love with the game watching the Masters on TV and then racing out to the chipping green at Brookhaven Country Club.
Spieth kept winning, of course. Prestigious monuments, too, like the Tour Championship that fall and the Tournament of Champions the following January. A year later, Spieth won his third major at the British Open at Royal Birkdale.
Yet winning a second green jacket has been an exercise not in futility so much as frustration.
In 2016, he led from the first round until the back nine on Sunday, when he blew a five-shot lead by losing six shots to par over the first three holes. The coup de grace came at No. 12, the picturesque par-3 over Rae's Creek in the back corner of the property, where Spieth hit not just his approach into the water but his next shot as well.
It was perhaps the lowest Spieth has ever felt at Augusta National, on the lowest spot on the course. The quadruple bogey cleared the way for Danny Willett, whose bogey-free final round earned him a green jacket instead.
In 2018, Spieth again led after the first round before fading on Friday and Saturday, and only a blistering final-round 64 got him within two shots of winner Patrick Reed. He matched that third-place finish with another two years ago, when he hung around the first page of the leaderboard but never threatened winner Hideki Matsuyama.
“When I look back on the times where I’ve had real legitimate chances, I look at the middle two rounds of 2018 — I really could have, should have won it that year,” Spieth said. “Like, I’ve backdoored some of those top finishes, and I’d love to get in the mix because I feel like right now, I feel better about my game than I’ve felt since probably 2017.”
It hasn't been easy to reach this point.
Spieth would go through periods when his swing was out of whack, and his solution was to grind harder, and that would lead to more problems. So he would back off, and that would lead if not to more problems then at least different ones.
“I tried working really, really hard without really knowing what I was doing, and I think that put me more in a hole,” he said. “I got to the point where I was like, ‘OK, let’s figure this out. Stop trying the same thing and overworking it, thinking something is going to click and it's all over.' Instead, I started to really re-engineer backward what kind of made me so successful.”
It's been a process, Spieth said, yet the progress was evident last year at Augusta. He was 1 under in his second round, and 1 over for the championship, before a triple bogey at No. 12 — he splashed another shot into Rae's Creek — and a double bogey at the 18th caused him to miss the cut at the Masters for the first time.
The next week, Spieth won the RBC Heritage in a playoff with Patrick Cantlay.
The good results kept coming, if not the wins: second at the Byron Nelson, top 10 at the British Open at St. Andrews, sixth earlier this year at the Phoenix Open, fourth at Bay Hill and third at the Valspar Championship.
Those results are why oddsmakers put him behind only defending champion Scottie Scheffler, four-time major winner Rory McIlroy — still needing the Masters for his career slam — and major winner Jon Rahm heading into Thursday's opening round.
And why Spieth would be wise to have a tailor on standby come Sunday.
“It’s exciting,” he said, “because when I go to the range, I’m confident by the end of the day I know what to improve. That seems like it would be standard every day for a golfer, but there were a lot of years in a row where I would go to the course and I would be uncertain if I would come out that day feeling better or worse. That’s tough to go into.”
“You know,” Spieth added, “I don’t feel I have all the weapons right now. But I have enough, and I’m continuing to work on the ones that I don’t have, and I get a little better each day with them."

TOOELE COUNTY, Utah (ABC4) — A Utah man has been sentenced to prison this week for setting a dog on fire in the spring of 2021.
Michael Paul Busico, 41, tortured a companion pet and admitted to setting Dixie, a four-year-old Red Heeler, on fire after taking her from her yard in an effort to intimidate her family.
Tooele City Police were dispatched to a residence for a reported theft on March 1, 2021. The victim’s father-in-law stated his daughter-in-law’s mother’s ex-boyfriend, Michael Busico, 40, had stolen the victim’s dog earlier in the day.
Busico was at the home visiting the dog when the victim says she left. When she returned, Busico and the dog were allegedly gone.
Documents go on to say that Busico contacted Dixie’s owner saying he was upset over money.
The dog was found after she was set on fire and abandoned.
Dixie suffered from extensive second and third degree burns and was euthanized because of her injuries, says Salt Lake County Animal Services.
Busico was charged with felony animal cruelty, along with some other charges.
“The outcome of this case is a huge win for pets in Utah. This is a step in the right direction and emphasizes that animals cannot be tortured to manipulate and hurt other humans. Salt Lake County Animal Services hopes that these strict penalties will deter future animal and domestic abuse cases,” said Talia Butler, Salt Lake County Animal Services Division Director.
A judge sentenced Busico to one to 15 years in Utah State Prison for the arson conviction and up to five years for being convicted of animal cruelty.

LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Lionel Messi was almost in tears as he grabbed and shook his jersey in front of Argentina’s celebrating fans, then blew a kiss and looked to the sky.
With one of the most important goals of his career, Messi led Argentina to a 2-0 victory over Mexico on Saturday to ignite his team’s World Cup chances.
His dream of winning soccer’s biggest prize in likely his last attempt is still alive.
“It’s a weight off our shoulders,” Messi said. “It gives us joy and peace of mind to start again.”
Messi took a touch from Angel Di Maria’s pass across the face of the area and drove a low shot from 25 meters (yards) into the bottom corner to give Argentina the lead in the 64th minute.
His arms outstretched, he ran toward the team’s supporters who were celebrating behind the goal and was soon mobbed by his teammates. He whirled his arms in an emotional response to scoring his 93rd — and perhaps most crucial — international goal.
Substitute Enzo Fernandez added a second goal in the 87th minute, ensuring Argentina bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia that ranked as one of the World Cup’s biggest ever upsets.
“We lived with discomfort and kept the defeat in the opening match in our minds,” Messi said. “The days were very long.
“We were eager to have the chance to turn the situation around and luckily we won.”
Argentina is second in Group C ahead of its last match against first-place Poland on Wednesday, and might need to win it to advance.
“We can’t let our guard down now,” Messi said. “All of our matches are finals now. We can’t mess up.”
It was an eighth World Cup goal for Messi, the same number scored in the tournament by rival Cristiano Ronaldo and also Diego Maradona — the Argentina great with whom he is so often compared.
For some, Messi needs to win the World Cup — the only major title missing from his collection — to join the ranks of Pele and Maradona as soccer’s greatest ever players. Thanks to this win, it could still happen.
“We already know for many years he is the world’s best player,” Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said. “Messi should enjoy this World Cup. All fans enjoy seeing him play.”
Scaloni made five changes from the Saudi Arabia game in a bid to inject some more energy into the team but initially they made little difference in what proved to be a tense game lacking in quality. Argentina’s build-up play was slow and Mexico had little problem snuffing out its opponent’s attacks.
Messi was often seen walking around the field and mostly found himself with two defenders on him each time he got the ball. Frustration was starting to show on his face before the first half had even finished as he implored his teammates to relax.
Indeed, the goal Messi scored came from one of the first times he found himself in space.
Argentina’s fans inside the 89,000-seat Lusail Stadium hugged each other. Some cried. Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez fell to the ground and appeared to bury his face in the turf.
“I don’t think during the match he found many spaces in the last third of the field,” Mexico coach Gerardo Martinez, an Argentine who led his native country from 2014-16, said of Messi. “But he only needs a few seconds to be the difference.”
The momentum of the game changed completely and Mexico suddenly became ragged, with substitute striker Julian Alvarez proving much more effective for Argentina than Lautaro Martinez, the player he replaced.
Fernandez’s goal was his first for Argentina and it was an excellent one. He feigned to go to his left before shifting the ball to his right foot and curling a shot high and beyond Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
Argentina’s substitutes poured onto the field to join the celebrations at the same stadium where there was so much despair after the shocking loss to Saudi Arabia.
“We knew we had to win today, that another World Cup was starting for us,” Messi said, “and we knew how to do it.”
MEXICAN LONGEVITY
Mexico midfielder Andres Guardardo became the sixth male player to feature at five World Cups. The 36-year-old follows two Mexicans — Antonio Carbajal and Rafa Marquez — as well as Lothar Matthaus, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Guardardo didn’t last the first half, coming off in the 42nd minute because of injury.
GROUP PERMUTATIONS
Poland leads Argentina and Saudi Arabia by one point with one match to play. Mexico is last and will next face the Saudis.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (KRON) — Three people were killed in a multi-vehicle collision on northbound Highway 101 in Sunnyvale early Monday morning, according to the San Jose California Highway Patrol office.
A call came into the San Jose CHP just before 12:30 a.m. reporting a car hitting the center median between Lawrence Expressway and North Fair Oaks Boulevard. Shortly after, several more cars crashed, officials said.
San Jose CHP officials said three pedestrians were killed.
A detour is set up to divert traffic off at Fair Oaks Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol incident page. There is no estimated time of reopening.
The southbound lane also had a multi-vehicle collision after a body was ejected from the northbound to southbound freeway. One witness from the southbound side told KRON4 they were involved in a collision after avoiding a body in the lanes.
This story is developing and will be updated.

PITTSBURGH — Anthony Richard scored the winning goal in the third period and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-4 on Tuesday night.
Richard scored at 3:05 of the third period. He took a stretch pass from Justin Barron and beat Casey DeSmith to the glove side. Montreal rebounded from an 8-4 home loss against Colorado on Monday and snapped a seven-game losing streak.
Montreal, which won its first game in March, has lost eight of its last 10 games overall.
“I feel like we’ve played some really good hockey, as of late, but we just haven’t gotten rewarded for it,” Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said. “It wasn’t perfect, but I think the group needed that kind of result.”
Josh Anderson scored an empty-net goal while the Penguins pressed for the tie. Mike Hoffman scored his 11th while Denis Gurianov, Jesse Ylonen and Joel Edmundson also scored for the Canadiens.
Sam Montembeault made 39 saves.
“Montembeault was probably the difference,” St. Louis said. “He played real well for us.”
Jake Guentzel scored twice and Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang also scored for the Penguins, who play significant back-to-back division games at the New York Rangers on Thursday and Saturday. Pittsburgh, which currently holds a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, has points in eight of its last 10 games.
“Obviously, we missed an opportunity,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “We have a lot of them moving forward that we have to get ready for.”
Tristan Jarry started, but allowed four goals on seven shots. It was the fourth time in five games Jarry allowed four goals and the second time he was pulled. DeSmith stopped 13 shots in relief.
Pittsburgh played the final 16 minutes with four defensemen. Jeff Petry didn’t take a shift in the third period and Jan Rutta left with a lower-body injury after he was hit with a shot.
Montreal had the first five shots of the third period and the only goal until Anderson’s empty netter with 35 seconds to go.
“I thought we worked hard throughout the course of the game, but we didn’t work smart,” Sullivan said. “As a result, some of the looks they got, though they didn’t get many, were high quality.”
Pittsburgh scored twice in the first five minutes for an early 2-0 lead. But the Canadiens jumped ahead with three goals in the next 6:10 and another before the end of the first during a wild six-goal period.
Guentzel scored his 28th goal of the season and recorded his 400th NHL point just 21 seconds into the game. Guentzel, with five goals in his last five games, is the fastest player from the 2013 NHL Draft class to 400 points.
Malkin scored a power-play goal on a one-timer from the point at 4:49, making it a 2-0 game. Pittsburgh has a power-play goal in 11 of its last 13 home games.
But the Canadiens scored the final four goals of the period.
Hoffman scored 32 seconds after Malkin’s goal and Ylonen tied it with a wrist shot from the point at 7:13 of the period.
Gurianov scored his third goal in as many games seconds after a penalty expired. Edmundson scored with 11 seconds left in the period on a slap shot from the point.
Pittsburgh outshot Montreal, 17-4, in the second period and evened the score thanks to goals by Letang and Guentzel. But it wasn’t enough, as Richard scored early in the third and the Canadiens held on for their first win of the month.
“It was a tough feeling when (Pittsburgh) scored two goals early,” Richard said. “It was basically the same start we had (Monday), so the group was kind of down a little bit, but the goal right after was huge just to get our legs going again.”

Canadiens: Visit Florida on Thursday.
Penguins: Play the first of consecutive games at the New York Rangers on Thursday.

Little League teams have equipment stolen
By Christopher Baker
Click here for updates on this story
NORTH HIGHLANDS, California (KOVR) — The equipment for a Little League baseball team was stolen by thieves that broke into their storage at Robert Frost Park.
According to league representatives, they noticed the equipment was missing at roughly 7:30 a.m. from their storage, where it appears that someone cut the lock.
The thieves stole a $1,500 sound system that the 250 kid league purchased with money generated from fundraising.
“We’re trying to give the kids something nice here and to finally get something we’re proud of, and to have it taken away, that’s difficult. These kids worked hard for it,” said Foothill Farms-North Highlands Little League Vice President Brad Washburn.
The league is now looking into other security options to keep their equipment safe.

LONDON (AP) — When Camilla, Britain's queen consort, is crowned alongside her husband next week, the moment will mark the culmination of a remarkable - and painstakingly slow - transformation over five decades of a figure once reviled as the other woman and considered a huge liability to the British monarchy.
With the coronation of King Charles III days away and his first seven months on the throne under his belt, many in Britain have grown to accept Camilla, though some experts and observers say she will always walk in the shadow of her past.
“Without really trying too hard, but just by giving it time and going gently, gently, she has managed to show people the real person that she is — that she’s not this villainess, and that she’s there to do the hard work,” said Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine. “But the most important thing about Camilla is the way she appears to support her husband and back him up.”
Camilla, 75, was mercilessly torn apart by the tabloids for years. Seward said she earned respect by putting her head down and steadily getting on with her duties. She's won over much of the British public with her down-to-earth personality and her charitable work, notably against domestic violence, rape and sexual abuse — causes she says she'll continue to support as queen.
But some say she'll never fully shake her reputation as the third person in the marriage between Charles and Princess Diana.
“I would actually argue that she still is the other woman, and probably will remain the other woman," said Arianne Chernock, a professor specializing in modern British history at Boston University. “Diana will very much be a presence in the room in Westminster Abbey in May 6 — I think it’s hard not to see her when you look at Charles and Camilla.
“And the challenge remains even going forward, even as Queen Camilla, which at one point would have been unthinkable."
Camilla Rosemary Shand — born July 17, 1947 to a family with long links with Britain’s royal family — reportedly first met Charles at a polo match in 1970, when she was 23. The pair quickly became close, but their romance was interrupted when Charles went on naval duty.
In his absence, Camilla married her longtime boyfriend, army officer Andrew Parker-Bowles, in 1973. Charles married Diana in 1981. In the early ′90s, Diana went public with her resentment of Charles and Camilla’s relationship. The sensational details that followed caused an embarrassing scandal for the royal family.
Camilla and her husband divorced in 1995, shortly after Charles gave an explosive television interview admitting the affair. Charles and Diana divorced the following year. In 1997, Diana died in a car crash; a global outpouring of grief followed. Camilla and Charles waited until 2005 to marry in a private civil ceremony.
Mindful of lingering public hostility toward Camilla, palace officials cautiously managed her public appearances over the decades. Camilla made dozens of official visits with charities each year, and her warm personality and ease at connecting with people no doubt helped her image makeover; those who've met her often describe her as warm, unstuffy and likeable.
“When you meet her, she doesn’t appear to be aloof in any way whatsoever,” Seward said. “She’s just always the same as she was. And I think this is one probably one of her biggest assets.”
Sensitivity about Camilla's status as Charles' second wife long made the question of what title she'd hold when he became king a subject of contention. Queen Elizabeth II settled the matter last year, when she gave the blessing for Camilla to be known as queen consort. The endorsement was widely seen as a formal sign that the royal family had finally accepted Camilla as a respected senior member.
Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace’s official coronation invitations referred to Camilla as “Queen Camilla” for the first time. Queen consorts do not formally share the sovereign’s powers, and dropping the “consort” part of the title won't change that. Nonetheless, the change marked another step in Camilla’s long road to rehabilitating her image.
But the change in her title “does not necessarily suggest full public approval,” Chernock said. “Camilla, regardless of what she does, will always be divisive.”
In March, Camilla dazzled crowds at her first state visit as queen consort, donning a diamond tiara belonging to the Queen Mother and a diamond necklace from Elizabeth II for a state banquet in Berlin.
Her image makeover hit a snag when her stepson, Prince Harry, stirred up old grievances and painted her as a schemer who played “the long game," with a campaign aimed at “marriage and eventually the crown.”
In his memoir “Spare” and in interviews promoting the book, Harry accused Camilla of trading private information about him and others to the media as part of a drive to forge friendly relationships with journalists and improve her reputation.
Harry said he and his elder brother, Prince William, had urged their father not to marry Camilla, but both reluctantly accepted her into their lives.
Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles, hit back at Harry’s claims last week: “I don’t care what anyone says – this wasn’t any sort of end game. She married the person she loved and this is what happened.”
Camilla rarely speaks about her private life. In an interview with British Vogue last year, she acknowledged she was "scrutinized for such a long time that you just have to find a way to live with it.”
“Nobody likes to be looked at all the time and, you know, criticized,” she said. “But I think in the end, I sort of rise above it and get on with it."
She focuses her energy on the causes she champions: promoting children's literacy and animal welfare, and speaking out about domestic sexual abuse and gender-based violence.
Chernock said that while Camilla and Charles' relatively advanced years mean they have limited scope to reshape perceptions of the monarchy, it isn't too late for her to tackle more complex topics and win wider respect.
“She has this incredible opportunity in front of her, this tremendous platform," she said. She suggested the pair could “provide a space for some of the more challenging conversations that not just Britain, but global audiences want the royal family to be having right now — especially questions about legacies of racism, slavery, elitism.”
But Seward believes that may be too ambitious for a woman she believes never envisioned becoming queen.
“She’ll carry on with all these charities, but she’s going to get bombarded with a lot more,” she said. "She won’t be able to be too outspoken and won’t really want to be because, you know, everybody that cares knows what she thinks already.
“She'll just get on with it. And that is really her mantra."

BAY CITY, MI – A look at the high school sports scene in Bay County for May 23, 2022. Bay County coaches are asked to submit results, highlights and comments the night of each event by emailing lthomps2@mlive.com.
SOFTBALL: GLENN HONORS SENIORS WITH SWEEP
Oscoda joined in the Senior Day fun with John Glenn – then drilled the very first pitch for a home run.
But it was all Glenn from there as the Bobcats powered to 17-4 and 19-4 victories in a day of celebration for seniors Brooke Moeller, Carmyn Mackenzie and Emma Pauwels.
Glenn also recognized the Oscoda seniors and the Owls presented Glenn’s 12th graders with a signed ball as the two schools built on a recent tradition of Senior Day celebrations. When they got down to business, Oscoda’s Megan Myles belted the first pitch of the day over the fence.
But Glenn (11-20) erupted from there to reach double digits in the win column. Mackenzie notched six hits and seven RBIs on the day, giving her 100 runs batted in for her career. Moeller tallied four hits at the plate and notched the Game 1 win on the mound. Pauwels drove in a pair of runs in the opener.
Mia Piotrowski came through with five hits for the day and Gabi Mezey launched the first home run of her varsity career. Chelsea McKee enjoyed a four-RBI game while Kenzy Bach registered the Game 2 win.
SOFTBALL: EARLY DEFICITS DON’T FAZE SSC
Standish-Sterling came from behind in both contests, sweeping Valley Lutheran 9-5 and 12-2.
The Panthers (18-14, 12-4) trailed 5-1 in the opener before rallying, getting the go-ahead run on an RBI single by Kylie Wendel in the fifth inning. Addi Fetters led the offense with three RBIs and joined Lexi Mielke and Morgan Jenkins with two hits. Devri Jennings struck out nine for the win.
After Valley Lutheran jumped out to a 2-0 lead in Game 2, it was all SSC. Jennings had two hits and four RBIs with a home run for the Panthers. Jenkins tallied three more hits while Mielke and Baylee Ex each had two hits and Fetters drove in two runs. Mielke notched the win with seven Ks.
BASEBALL: ALL SAINTS REGAINS WINNING FORM
After winning 22 straight games, Bay City All Saints found itself in a bit of a losing streak.
But it didn’t take long for the No. 3-ranked Cougars to find their winning form.
All Saints suffered its first league loss, dropping the opener to Kinde North Huron 9-5 before getting back on the winning track with a 10-2 victory.
All Saints (23-3, 13-1), which lost two games to Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart over the weekend to halt its winning streak, suffered defensive woes in the opener with North Huron and dropped its third straight game. Eli Wall was saddled with his first loss of the season for All Saints.
But the Cougars got the bats going in the nightcap for the North Central Thumb League split. Devin Schular doubled and Zack Kontes laced two hits to lead the way. Schular recorded the win with a five-inning complete game.
BASEBALL: DEFENSE DRIVES GLENN TO VICTORY
Getting a couple defensive gems in the outfield from Ben Bricker, the John Glenn baseball team outdueled Bloomfield Hills 3-1 in a one-game showdown.
Glenn (23-5) got strong pitching from Nathan Ball and Brody Krzysiak in the win, with Ball allowing three hits over four innings for the win and Krzysiak striking out six in three innings for the save. Bricker helped make it count with his two circus catches.
Carter Hebert had two hits in the win while Ball and Krzysiak each doubled.
BASEBALL: WALK IS A WINNER FOR PINCONNING
Pinconning mounted a game-winning rally without the benefit of a hit, scoring a 5-4 victory over Ogemaw Heights in Game 2 to salvage a non-league split.
After Ogemaw battled back from a 4-0 deficit to tie the game, Pinconning won it with a run in the top of the seventh inning behind a hit by pitch and three walks. Ashton Raymond walked with the bases loaded to drive in the game-winner.
D.J. LaBean had three hits in the contest while Raymond drove in two runs and joined Cole Rezler with two hits. Landon Gage notched the win with 2.2 innings of scoreless relief for the Spartans (22-8).
Pinconning dropped the opener 3-1 as Ogemaw plated three runs in the third inning. Austin Shoultes had two hits to lead Pinconning. Dakota Vennix threw two scoreless innings to keep the Spartans close.
BASEBALL: STANDISH STAYS HOT WITH SWEEP
Standish-Sterling kept a good thing going, sweeping Cass City 10-4 and 9-3 to give itself 13 wins in 14 games.
Brett Bartlett drove in two runs and joined Cooper Prout with three hits in the opener. Cole Prout tallied three RBIs in the win and Brayden Schabel rapped two hits.
Charlie Kolbiaz notched three hits and two RBIs in the second game while Chase Raymond had two RBIs and matched Matt Yealey with two hits. Kale Koin and Sam Briggs registered the wins on the hill with strong starting performances for the Panthers (28-6).
SOCCER: GARBER ROLLS PAST GLENN
Essexville Garber completed the regular season in stunning fashion, powering past John Glenn 11-0 to polish off an undefeated Tri-Valley East campaign.
Garber (20-1, 12-0) joined the 2019 Garber squad and the 2009 and 2010 John Glenn squads as the only teams in Bay County history to reach the 20-win mark in a season.
The Dukes scored four times in the first 10 minutes to take control. Ella Betzold led the charge with four goals while Lauren Walker and Teagan Betzold each added two. Ciara Kelly, Rylee Jatczak and Aushlund Roznowski each added one goal.
Walker and Grace Carley had two assists apiece while Brooke McDonald posted the shutout in goal.

SANTIAGO, Chile — With the snow-covered Andes shining in the background, several dozen cowboys in woolen ponchos and families on wooden horse carts lined up Saturday to receive a priest’s blessing in the huge esplanade in front of the National Sanctuary of Maipú.
The gigantic sanctuary on the outskirts of Santiago was built in the 1970s on the location of a church erected to celebrated Chile’s victory in its war of independence in the early 1800s. It’s dedicated to the Virgen del Carmen, or Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the country’s patron, whose feast day is July 16.
Many horse carts were decked in Chilean and Vatican flags. Several of the riders like Contreras belonged to a group called Cuasimodo, who traditionally bring Communion to the sick and homebound on their horses on a Sunday in April.
The July celebration, which also includes Masses and traditional dances on the sanctuary’s steps, has survived multiple COVID-19 lockdowns, major scandals within the country's Catholic church, and mass protests in 2019 that torched a metro station just down the street from the vast building.
On the sunny winter Saturday, Carlos Ortiz brought his wife and toddler daughter to watch the dancers in boots and sparkling costumes belonging to a group called “in Mary’s arms.”
“It’s very important, because one wants to pass it on to his family, so that the culture doesn’t get lost,” said the 40-year-old Ortiz, who from age 10 to 30 used to dance himself in a similar group because of a promise to the Virgin.
This year, he took advantage of a business trip from his new home in Bakersfield, California, to take in the celebration.
Javiera Astorga and her boyfriend only had to drive about 20 miles from a nearby town to come pay homage, using a horse cart normally used to take construction leftovers to the dump.
They don’t usually go to church, “but one comes to see the Virgin — it’s a tradition,” she said.

Family living in fear after attempted home invasion: ‘He was looking at both of us’
PORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV/Gray News) - An Oregon family says they’re living in fear after someone tried to break into their Portland-area home.
KPTV reports the incident happened Thursday night at the family’s home in a northwest Portland neighborhood.
The family, who would like to remain anonymous for their safety, said they heard an explosion of broken glass while having dinner that evening.
The father of the family of five said he ran to the front door and confronted the suspect, later identified as 18-year-old Joseph Ibrahim.
The father said he tried to push the would-be burglar back as he had his hand inside the front door after smashing the glass.
“He [the suspect] was looking at both of us and actively trying to get into the house,” the father said. “I didn’t know what he had in mind.”
The family shared footage from their Ring doorbell of the incident. The mother said she armed two of her children with knives while contacting police.
“I didn’t know whether he [the suspect] had a gun, or a knife, or what was happening,” she said. “So, I grabbed my children.”
When police arrived, the family said officers found Ibrahim sitting on the porch. According to the father, the 18-year-old never said a word throughout the confrontation.
Court documents shared that a police officer reported Ibrahim was “giggling to himself” while he was being taken to jail and talking about how scared the family was.
The father said he has pressed charges but is disappointed that the court has set Ibrahim’s bail at $250.
“This guy is going to skate out less than 24 hours after doing the deed,” he said.
The family said that crime in their neighborhood has gotten worse and they are now looking at moving following this most recent incident.

NEW YORK, May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Covenant House, the largest charity in the Americas helping youth facing homelessness and survivors of trafficking, will hold its annual Night of Covenant House Stars Gala on Monday, May 22 at 6 p.m. at the Javits Center Rooftop Pavilion and Terrace in New York City.

Man sentenced for ‘horrendous crime’ against child, authorities say
WALHALLA, S.C. (WHNS/Gray News) - A South Carolina man admitted to sexually abusing a young child after the solicitor said the “horrendous crime” was caught on camera.
Michael Kenneth Cox pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 11 years old, according to WHNS.
The sexual assault was reported in December 2020. Investigators said they recovered video evidence of Cox assaulting the child. According to the solicitor, when Cox was arrested he admitted “he had struggled with an attraction to children for some time.”
Cox was sentenced to 65 years in prison and he is not eligible for parole.
“This was a horrendous crime perpetrated against a truly innocent and defenseless victim,” said Solicitor David Wagner. “We are grateful for the hard work of the Walhalla Police Department in bringing Michael Cox to justice, and grateful to the court for a sentence which ensures he will never have the opportunity to harm a child again.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is weighing a California animal cruelty law that pork producers say could upend their industry and raise the cost of their products nationwide.
But in arguments Tuesday, the justices seemed to have bigger concerns beyond bacon.
Pork producers say California’s law requiring more space for breeding pigs will force the $26 billion-a-year industry to change its practices even though pork is produced almost entirely outside California. The question for the high court is whether the nation’s most populous state has violated the U.S. Constitution with its law.
During more than two hours of arguments, both conservative and liberal justices asked about the fate of other state laws that impact other states.
“So what about a law that says you can’t sell fruit in our state if it’s produced — handled by people who are not in the country legally? Is that state law permissible?” asked Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
His colleague, Justice Elena Kagan, pointed to a law from the state where she grew up: “I understand New York has a law that says that if you want to import firewood into the state, you have to have used a certain kind of pesticide to make sure that various pests don’t come in with the firewood,” she said. “Would that be forbidden?”
And Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked whether California could pass a law barring pork from companies that “don’t require all their employees to be vaccinated or from companies that don’t fund gender-affirming surgery.”
Still, she also expressed concern about the impact if the court were to say California’s law is impermissible.
“How many other laws would fall, that it might affect?” she asked. Would the court call “into question a lot of laws that are pretty common?”
The case before the court involves California’s Proposition 12, which voters passed in 2018. It said that pork sold in the state needs to come from pigs whose mothers were raised with at least 24 square feet of space, including the ability to lie down and turn around. That rules out confined “gestation crates,” the metal enclosures that are common in the pork industry.
Two industry groups, the Iowa-based National Pork Producers Council and the American Farm Bureau Federation, sued over the proposition. They say that while Californians consume 13% of the pork eaten in the United States, nearly 100% of it comes from hogs raised outside the state, primarily where the industry is concentrated in the Midwest and North Carolina. The vast majority of sows, meanwhile, aren’t raised under conditions that would meet Proposition 12’s standards.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson summed up the issue by saying: “To what extent does California get to control what Iowa does with respect to the housing of its pork?” She asked why California couldn’t do something less burdensome to the industry, like “segregating Iowa’s pork when it comes in, putting a big label over it that says ‘This is immorally produced.’”
The Biden administration has urged the justices to side with pork producers, telling the court in written filings that Proposition 12 would be a “wholesale change in how pork is raised and marketed in this country.” The administration says the proposition has “thrown a giant wrench into the workings of the interstate market in pork.”
Pork producers argue that 72% of farmers use individual pens for sows that don’t allow them to turn around and that even farmers who house sows in larger group pens don’t provide the space California would require.
They also say that the way the pork market works, with cuts of meat from various producers being combined before sale, it’s likely all pork would have to meet California standards, regardless of where it’s sold. Complying with Proposition 12 could cost the industry $290 million to $350 million, they say.
So far, lower courts have sided with California and animal-welfare groups that had supported the proposition, throwing out the pork producers’ case. But the law has yet to go into effect.
Several of the justices suggested the lower courts were too quick to reject the case. They suggested it should have gone forward with lower courts weighing the impact of California’s law and California’s interests in passing it.
Justice Kavanaugh suggested that would be “the easiest way to resolve this for now, and we can deal with a lot of these far-reaching arguments down the road.”

First lady Jill Biden’s walk-back of her suggestion that runner-up Iowa should join NCAA women’s basketball champion LSU for a visit to the White House didn’t sit well with Tigers star Angel Reese.
Prompted by a discussion of Biden’s comments during her Wednesday appearance on “The Paper Route Podcast,” Reese said the Tigers should celebrate their title with former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama rather than President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden.
Jill Biden, at an appearance in Denver on Monday, had praised Iowa’s sportsmanship and congratulated both teams. She also said that as part of the longstanding tradition of having champions visit the White House, Iowa should come as well “because they played such a good game.”
The Tigers defeated Iowa 102-85 for the title in Dallas on Sunday.
Reese on Monday called Jill Biden’s suggestion “a joke.”
Joe Biden invited LSU and men’s champion Connecticut to the White House on Tuesday with no mention of Iowa. Vanessa Valdivia, a spokesperson for Jill Biden, said the first lady had meant no disrespect to LSU and that her comments were intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes.
“I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t accept the apology because of, you said what you said. I said what I said. And like, you can’t go back on certain things that you say,” Reese told podcast hosts Brandon Marshall and Ashley Nicole Moss.
“I mean, you felt like they should’ve came because of sportsmanship, right?” Reese added. “They can have that spotlight. We’ll go to the Obamas. We’ll see Michelle. We’ll see Barack.”
Some social media commenters noted the racial dynamics involved, saying that only winners should be rewarded with a White House visit and that hosting both teams would detract from the achievement by LSU’s team, which is predominantly Black. The Iowa team is largely white. Others noted the important role of Black women in Democratic Party politics.
Following LSU’s victory, coach Kim Mulkey said she would go to the White House if invited. Reese said Wednesday she was uncertain if she would go.
Reese faced criticism on social media for waving her hand in front of Iowa star Caitlin Clark’s face while staring down Clark during the game. Clark, The Associated Press Player of the Year, made a similar gesture to no one in particular during Iowa’s victory over Louisville in the Elite Eight.
Reese said she didn’t think LSU, had it lost to Iowa, would have gotten the same praise from Jill Biden as the Hawkeyes did.
“If we were to lose, we would not be getting invited to the White House,” she added. “I remember she made a comment about both teams should be invited because of sportsmanship. And I’m like, ‘Are you saying that because of what I did?’ Stuff like that, it bothers me because you are a woman at the end of the day. White, Black, it doesn’t matter, you’re a woman, you’re supposed to be standing behind us before anything.”

SILOAM SPRINGS -- A group called Unite Siloam is seeking to recall city Directors David Allen and Lesa Rissler over the firing of City Administrator Phillip Patterson and the belief the city board is disregarding input from residents, according to Matt Feyerabend, a group member.
Unite Siloam started March 8, the day after Patterson was fired, and has at least 30-40 members, Feyerabend said. The petition was available for people to sign beginning March 15, Feyerabend said.
Feyerabend does not know how many signatures the group has, but said about 25 people are out gathering signatures, he said.
The petitions are also available at Heart of the Home shop and Ivory Bill Brewing Co. for people to sign during their normal business hours.
The Herald-Leader reached out to both Allen and Rissler for comment.
Rissler said she represents the residents, so it's up to them to decide.
Allen sent the following comment in an email: "Matt Feyerabend is self-described on Facebook as a 'socialist' and an 'ex-evangelical.' I would like to say I was shocked when Matt posted a huge 'Defund the Police' sign in the window of his Pure Joy ice cream store in downtown Siloam Springs. With his radical views, it is very ironic to see him start a group called Unite Siloam."
Allen went on to say: "Matt and the Unite Siloam group has posted false information on Facebook and continues to spread innuendo that is just flat out dishonest."
Feyerabend did not address Allen's comments during a city board meeting Tuesday.
Allen added the public is not usually made aware of all circumstances in personnel decisions made by the city.
Comments from the public
Feyerabend said Allen and Rissler misused their power to terminate Patterson without cause and the effects of that decision are damaging the city.
Ben Bergstrom, another Siloam Springs resident, shared similar opinions about Allen and Rissler.
"Both directors have shown themselves to be disinterested in the voices of the people of Siloam, most recently with the firing without cause of our highly revered and respected city administrator," Bergstrom said.
Bergstrom went on to say Allen and Rissler have displayed no clear vision for Siloam Springs and are actively hurting it and keeping the residents in the dark as to why.
Other residents have issued statements of support for the two directors. Gary Riley said there are many people who appreciate and support Allen and Rissler.
"We have finally got people on our city board who are working for the citizens of Siloam," Riley said. "There always are those who have their own agenda and will push back when they lose power. Stay the course. Good things will happen if we do."
Recall process
Residents will need to submit a petition requesting the removal, said City Clerk Renea Ellis, who read from the state statute.
The petition needs to be signed by 35% of the total number of votes cast for all candidates for that office in the preceding general municipal election, Ellis said. Petitioners will have 60 days before the next special election date to turn in their petitions, according to Kim Dennison, the election coordinator for the Benton County Election Commission.
Deadlines for turning in the petitions are 60 days before the special election dates. The two special election dates are Aug. 8 and Nov. 14, Dennision said. This means that the petitions need to be turned in before June 9 for the Aug 8 election and Sept 15 for the Nov. 14 election, Dennison said.
Ellis said she will determine the sufficiency of the petitions within 10 days from the date of filing. If the petitions are deemed sufficient, the clerk shall certify them to the county board of election commissioners, Ellis said.
The commissioners will set an election date within 90 days of certification by the clerk, she said.
No recall petition can be filed against a director until he has held his position for six months. Allen was sworn in in January 2021.
Rissler was recently resworn in January 2023, so the petition to recall Rissler cannot be filed until July, Ellis said. Since Rissler ran unopposed in the 2022 election, the 35% needed to recall Rissler will have to come from the last election where her position was contested, which was in 2018, Ellis said.
For Allen, a total of 1,875 signatures -- 35% of 5,359 votes cast citywide for the at-large position in the November 2020 election -- are needed, according to official results provided by the Benton County Election Commission.
For Rissler, a total of 319 signatures are required out of the 912 cast in Ward 4 in November 2018.

Opening statements to begin in Harvey Weinstein’s Los Angeles trial
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Opening statements are set for Monday in the Los Angeles trial of Harvey Weinstein.
Already a serving a 23-year sentence for a conviction in New York, the 70-year-old former movie magnate is charged with four counts of rape and seven other counts of sexual assault in a trial that is expected to last six weeks.
A jury of nine men and three women was seated Thursday.
Weinstein is more than two years into a sentence for a 2020 conviction for rape and sexual assault in New York. The state’s highest court has agreed to hear his appeal in that case.
In Los Angeles, Weinstein faces a trial in the city where he was once a colossus during Hollywood’s awards season and at the Oscars. The five accusers who will testify in the case are expected to be identified only as Jane Doe. Jennifer Siebel Newsom, an actor and documentary filmmaker who is married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, is among the accusers.
The Associated Press does not normally name people who say they’ve been sexually abused unless they’ve agreed to be named publicly, as Newsom has through her attorney.
The trial opened two weeks ago with jury selection, five years after women’s stories about him gave massive momentum to the #MeToo movement.

A woman was sentenced Friday to 94 years in prison after being convicted of murdering one person and stabbing two others in Kosciusko County in 2020.
Vickie Louise Wooldridge, 45, of Nappanee, was found guilty by a jury in August of murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery, criminal confinement and battery by means of a deadly weapon.
Matthew Alan Lucas, 42, of Warsaw, died from multiple stab wounds to the neck, face and chest after the violent incident on Dec. 15, 2020, which was reportedly followed by Wooldridge attacking his parents, Bill and Diane Burr.
Wooldridge was Lucas’ girlfriend, court records say. Bill Burr said he had yelled at Lucas to keep it down as the couple was arguing before the attack.
Lucas was pronounced dead at the scene, and Bill Burr was airlifted to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne with stab wounds to the chest. Diane Burr also required medical attention for facial injuries, cuts to her hands and loss of teeth from the attack, court records say.
Kosciusko Circuit Court Judge Michael Reed sentenced Wooldridge to 94 years in the Indiana Department of Correction.
Bill Burr said in a letter that the family appreciates the legal teams for “bringing this case to justice.”
“I would ask that you keep all the families involved in your continued thoughts and prayers,” Bill Burr wrote.
Brad Voelz, Kosciusko County chief deputy prosecuting attorney, said in a statement that he thinks it’s important for the community to know about the Burr and Lucas families’ story.
“They have suffered tragic loss, but through it all, they never lost their faith or their strength,” he said. “I hope after receiving a measure of justice they can now move on to try to find a measure of peace. They are an inspiration to us all.”

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Grown by the community, for the community, eight gardens across the Inland Empire – including one that involves fish – are providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables for neighbors facing food insecurity.
For the last year, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) has worked closely with community partners to support these gardens, including an inspiring collaboration with Music Changing Lives (MCL) Chief Executive Officer Josiah Bruny, to bring a new community garden to San Bernardino.
Located on the corner of Electric Avenue and North 40th Street in San Bernardino – once one of the largest dumping sites in the city – the land has been transformed into MCL's Urban Garden. In addition to addressing food insecurity, the garden aims to provide a safe space where neighbors can come together to learn, exercise, eat, explore, relax and have fun.
Home to Soulful Sunday events every fourth Sunday of the month, local residents are invited to visit the garden for gardening workshops and various volunteer opportunities, while enjoying music, food and more. Information on Soulful Sunday events can be found on MCL's Facebook page.
"The best part about this project is that it's all led by the community," said Bruny. "Working together, we can bring more love to the region and those who need it most. We look forward to leveling up in our efforts to make the Inland Empire a better place for us all."
In addition to sponsorship, IEHP supports the garden by providing volunteers through the company's team member Helping Hearts program and Health Education team. Volunteers work alongside program leaders pulling weeds, planting trees, spreading mulch, building garden beds and irrigating crops.
"Through the right partnerships, compassion and drive to heal and inspire the human spirit, these gardens are thriving and bringing a diversity of wellness opportunities to our neighbors," said IEHP Senior Community Health Director Cesar Armendariz. "We appreciate the love Music Changing Lives has for the Inland Empire and the people who live here and look forward to continuing to plant and harvest more gardens for a healthier community."
The health plan also provided sponsorship to "Jardín Comunitario de la Salud" – Spanish for "Community Garden of Health" – to help support a large aquaponics garden at the Loma Linda University Health SACHS clinic in San Bernardino.
The first of its kind in the Inland Empire, the garden is home to a large quantity of fish that work symbiotically, nourishing garden beds and working to create food that can be harvested and consumed by the community.
Gardens are located in Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Jurupa, Perris and San Bernardino. For more information on local community gardens, visit: riversidefoods.org.
To our media friends, IEHP is happy to help arrange photo, video and interview opportunities at any of these garden sites – yes, including the garden that has put fish to work!
With a mission to heal and inspire the human spirit, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) is one of the top 10 largest Medicaid health plans and the largest not-for-profit Medicare-Medicaid plan in the country. In its 26th year, IEHP is supporting more than 1.5 million residents in Riverside and San Bernardino counties who are enrolled in Medicaid or Cal MediConnect Plans and has a growing network of over 7,800 providers and nearly 3,000 team members. Through dynamic partnerships with providers and community organizations, paired with award-winning service and a tradition of quality care, IEHP is fully committed to their vision: We will not rest until our communities enjoy optimal care and vibrant health.

EAGLE, Idaho — Cool fall weather is finally arriving this week in the Treasure Valley, and grape growers at Rolling Hills Vineyard in Eagle are grateful it didn't get here sooner.
Just six weeks ago, Mark Pasculli wasn't so sure they'd see a harvest this year, but warmer-than-average October temperatures got them to the finish line.
"October was really a blessing," Pasculli said. "The weather was beautiful. It was perfect for the vineyard to help the fruit continue to ripen; so we got the October we needed without a doubt!"
Much to Pasculli's relief, that means this year there will be red wine after all.
RELATED: Unusual weather impacting Idaho wine industry
When we first met in early September, Pasculli's grapes were still bright green and far from ripe. So they started pruning by picking off literally tons of grapes, hoping the plants would prioritize energy into ripening the fruit left behind.
Turns out, it paid off. They ended up with fewer grapes, but they matured enough to be harvested for both rosé and red wine.
"It's a calculated risk," Pasculli said. "But basically the weather scared me off enough that we thinned quite a bit of it to make sure the crop we got was going to be a good one, and fortunately it's turning out to be very good."
The grapes destined for rosé will make it to the shelves of their Garden City tasting room sometime next spring or summer. The fruit picked for red wine will take longer and should be ready to enjoy after 2024.
You can learn more about their tasting room here.

Cluster of thunderstorms moving through Saturday
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A cluster of thunderstorms moving from west to east across South Louisiana on Saturday morning will reach the Baton Rouge area by mid-morning. The cluster is moving at about 30-40 mph. Expect localized heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and possibly some small hail, but at this stage, it does not look like any of the storms will be tagged as severe.
While the local storm activity will ease up once that cluster passes the area, that will not be the end of the day’s rains: expect more showers and occasional thunderstorms through the afternoon.The latest guidance suggests that the rains should end before sunset for most of the area, leaving us with a dry evening. By day’s end, many WAFB communities will have received upwards of 1″ to 2″ of rain with isolated bullseyes of 3″ or more.
Saturday’s cloudy, wet afternoon should keep high temperatures in the low to mid 80°s for most WAFB neighborhoods.
Sunday looks much drier with rain chances currently posted at 20% or less for the WAFB viewing area. Sunday morning begins slightly less humid than Saturday’s start, with Sunday morning minimums around 70° for Baton Rouge. Afternoon highs will approach 90° for much of the WAFB region.
The outlook through next week has a real summer ‘feel’ to it: morning lows near 70°, afternoon highs in the upper 80°s to around 90°, and daily afternoon scattered thundershowers.

Phoenix breaks daily rainfall record for Dec. 3, last set over a century ago
PHOENIX - Phoenix set a new rainfall record on Dec. 3 - and National Weather Service officials say it's the wettest day Sky Harbor has seen all year, despite a busy monsoon season.
The airport received a total of .76 inches of rain Saturday, breaking the old record of .69 inches that was set back in 1908.
While there was plenty of rain across the state during monsoon season, Phoenix itself saw below average levels of precipitation. Currently, the city has received 4.53 inches of rain in total - more than 2 inches below the average.
Saturday's rain was the highest amount of precipitation seen at Sky Harbor since Dec. 24, 2021, when the airport saw an inch of rain.
