U.S. expands internet access in Iran as government cracks down on protests
The U.S. Treasury on Friday announced it would allow tech companies to expand internet access in Iran in the wake of a government crackdown on protests and internet availability.
Why it matters: Iran's restrictions could prevent Iranians who are protesting the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while she was in police custody from disseminating footage of authorities committing acts of violence.
- The restrictions targeted communications and social media platforms like Whatsapp and Instagram and internet service in parts of Iran's Kurdistan province, according to NetBlocks, a London-based watchdog that monitors internet access worldwide.
- The modifications could give political dissidents in the country tools to circumvent the Iranian government's surveillance and censorship efforts and brings "U.S. sanctions guidance in line with the changes in modern technology," the Treasury said.
Driving the news: Protests erupted in dozens of cities across Iran earlier this week in response to Amini's death. She was arrested by Iran's morality police for allegedly violating a religious law requiring women to wear a headscarf, Axios' Laurin-Whitney Gottbrath reports.
- Police claimed Amini was not mistreated and that she died of a heart attack. Her father, Amjad Amini, told BBC Persia that she had no preexisting conditions and was only allowed to view part of her body after her death.
What they're saying: "We took action today to advance Internet freedom and the free flow of information for the Iranian people, issuing a General License to provide them greater access to digital communications to counter the Iranian government’s censorship," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on social media Friday.
- “As courageous Iranians take to the streets to protest the death of Mahsa Amini, the United States is redoubling its support for the free flow of information to the Iranian people,” said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo.
- "With these changes, we are helping the Iranian people be better equipped to counter the government’s efforts to surveil and censor them," Adeyemo added.
The big picture: The changes allow technology companies to offer people in the country more secure internet platforms and services options "to protect the ability of Iranians to engage in free expression and bravely resist regime oppression," the department said.
- The new platform and services exempted from sanctions include social media platforms and video conferencing software and services.
- The Treasury announced new sanctions on Iran's morality police and senior leaders of Iran's security organizations that the U.S. said routinely use violence to suppress peaceful protesters and other civil society groups.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Dr. Jeanne Corwin traveled about two hours on Friday from her hometown of Cincinnati to an Indianapolis abortion clinic, where she saw the clinic’s first 12 patients the day after an Indiana judge blocked the state’s abortion ban from being enforced.
It’s a trip Corwin has made several times over the past few months, as her Ohio medical license allows her to sign off on required paperwork for Women’s Med patients in Indiana to access care in clinic’s sister location in Dayton.
But with Indiana’s abortion ban temporarily on hold — paired with a judge’s Sept. 14 block of an Ohio ban on nearly all abortions — Women’s Med and other Indiana abortion clinics resumed seeing patients on Friday while anticipating further change amid mercurial abortion access in the country following the U.S. Supreme Court’s June decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
“It’s a glimmer of hope and common sense,” Corwin said of Thursday’s ruling blocking Indiana’s abortion ban.
One patient who went to the clinic on Friday was an Indianapolis woman who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity due to privacy concerns. It was the 31-year-old’s second abortion, she said. Her first was at 16, when she afraid of caring for a child and worried what her parents would think about her being pregnant.
“At the time, I felt like I was too young to have a child,” the patient said. “I can’t even imagine what life would be like now.”
Now focused on a career and with a son she had at 25, the patient said she chose an abortion because she and her partner decided another child would not be best for them right now.
Hours after Owen County Judge Kelsey Hanlon on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction against Indiana’s abortion ban, the state filed a promised appeal and motion asking the state’s high court to take up the case.
Under Indiana’s ban, which has exceptions, abortion clinics would have lost their licenses and been prohibited from providing any abortion care, leaving such services solely to hospitals or outpatient surgical centers owned by hospitals.
The ban also only permits abortions in cases of rape and incest before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the patient; or if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly.
With Indiana’s law on hold, bans on abortion at any point in pregnancy are in place in 12 Republican-led states. In Wisconsin, clinics have stopped providing abortions amid litigation over whether an 1849 ban is in effect. Georgia bans abortions once fetal cardiac activity can be detected. And Florida and Utah have bans that kick in after 15 and 18 weeks gestation, respectively.
The state attorney general’s office had asked Hanlon to uphold the state’s ban, saying arguments against it are based on a “novel, unwritten, historically unsupported right to abortion” in the state constitution.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, which is representing the abortion clinics, filed the lawsuit Aug. 31 and argued the ban would “prohibit the overwhelming majority of abortions in Indiana and, as such, will have a devastating and irreparable impact on the plaintiffs and, more importantly, their patients and clients.”
Ken Falk, the ACLU of Indiana’s legal director, said Friday that the plaintiffs now have 15 days to file their response to the state’s request for the stay. He said he did not expect any immediate hearings on the matter.
Mike Fichter, president and CEO Indiana Right to Life, said in a statement the organization is “encouraged by the judge’s acknowledgement of the state’s legitimate interest in protecting unborn babies” and “hopeful the blockage will be brief.”
While such legal conflicts play out in the background, Women’s Med will provide abortions while it can, most likely starting next week, said Dr. Katie McHugh, an abortion provider at the clinic.
The patients that came through the clinic’s doors Friday signed state-required consent forms and finalized their second appointment, which is when the abortion will take place. Indiana has an 18-hour waiting period on abortions, while Ohio’s is 24 hours.
A short-staffed Indiana clinic will also continue sending Indiana patients to Ohio for the procedure until Women’s Med is back to normal numbers. Clinic staff has traveled between the two states to keep each clinic afloat when the other was closed, McHugh said.
“The last three months since the Dobbs decision have been so out of normal that we’ve had to, you know, make do with the time and the staff and the resources that we had,” McHugh said. “We’re trying to get our footing again.”
Elsewhere in Indiana, Amy Hagstrom Miller — president and CEO of Whole Woman’s Health — said that the South Bend abortion clinic is trying to “piece together adequate staff in order to see patients again.”
Jody Madeira, professor in the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, said that the judge’s interpretation of the Indiana Constitution’s article on liberty is encouraging for abortion-rights groups, who say liberty rights include bodily autonomy.
“This is quite a different argument than one might expect from a Republican judge, who tend to read the text of the Constitution narrowly,” said Madeira, who anticipates the Indiana Supreme Court will ultimately decide on the ban’s legality.
There are separate licensing procedures for abortion clinics and hospitals, another burden that proposes “legitimate and reasonable rationale for ending” the clinic’s licenses, the judge’s order states.
The question of whether the state constitution protects abortion rights is undecided. A state appeals court ruled in 2004 that privacy is a core value under the state constitution that extends to all residents, including women seeking an abortion.
But the Indiana Supreme Court later upheld a law requiring an 18-hour waiting period before a woman could get an abortion, though it didn’t decide whether the state constitution included the right to privacy or abortion.
“You can have the right,” Madeira said. “But not the access or the infrastructure.”

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s government will lift an emergency decree it imposed in March 2020 to battle the coronavirus, officials said Friday, as it relaxes most pandemic restrictions.
From Oct. 1, foreign visitors will no longer be required to show proof of being vaccinated, and people found to be infected will no longer need to quarantine.
The emergency decree, which has been renewed repeatedly despite opposition, will not be extended at the end of this month, officials said. The decree, which allowed the government to take actions such as curtail movements, limit crowd sizes and close private establishments, was also used against anti-government protesters.
“The overall trend globally of the COVID situation is improving. The number of new cases is in decline and the number of deaths is falling,” said Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesperson for the government’s Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration. He said the center will also halt operations and be dissolved.
“At present, the public and businesses can live and move forward with economic activities,” Taweesin said.
He said the changes result from the Public Health Ministry’s downgrading the status of COVID-19 from a dangerous communicable disease to an infectious disease under surveillance.
The center reported 752 new COVID-19 cases on Friday and nine deaths. It said the percentage of hospital beds allocated for coronavirus patients that are occupied has fallen to 8.3% from 15.8% in July.
“We may have small waves after this. And we will ask the public to continue practicing general preventive measures, including continuing to wear masks in public,” although they will not be mandatory, Taweesin said.
Thailand’s huge, lucrative tourism industry was devastated by local and worldwide measures to contain the pandemic. So far this year, it has seen arrivals rebound with 5.2 million visitors to date.

CHICAGO (WGN) – September marks the 40th anniversary of the “Tylenol Murders” – seven Chicago-area poisoning deaths linked to tainted vials of the popular over-the-counter medicine.
To this day, it remains unsolved.
It was the fall of 1982 and the mystery gripped the nation in anxiety and fear. Someone poisoned extra-strength Tylenol, the best-selling pain reliever in America, with lethal doses of potassium cyanide.
The person responsible was never arrested and the public grappled with a wave of fear over tampering with everyday products at grocery stores.
But Chicago Tribune investigative reporters have uncovered new information that shows the case is still being actively investigated and some law enforcement officials say there’s enough circumstantial evidence to bring charges against the prime suspect.
Chicago Tribune investigative reporters Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair have conducted a nine-month long investigation into the mystery surrounding the murders – interviewing 150 people across multiple states and reviewing tens of thousands of pages of documents.
“It’s an active investigation,” Gutowski said. “Investigators just got back in Illinois (Thursday) from being in Boston, the Cambridge area and interviewed Jim Lewis, the prime suspect.”
Their reporting reveals the FBI recorded a video of prime suspect James Lewis during a sting operation.
“We were able to look at undercover FBI video that was taken in 2007 right here in Chicago at the Sheraton Hotel,” Gutowski said.
The FBI interview indicates that Lewis knew about the Tylenol deaths before they were made public.
Lewis was a tax consultant who sent a letter to Johnson & Johnson and said he would stop the killing if the company paid him a million dollars. He was convicted of extortion and spent 12 years in prison. But investigators never found hard evidence to tie him to the poisonings.
“They went through some of his stuff and found the handbook of poisons,” St. Clair said. “And in the years since, they have finger printed that book and on page 196, the page that includes information on how much cyanide is needed for a fatal dose in the average human, they found Jim Lewis’s fingerprint.”
It’s circumstantial evidence, but law enforcement officials say they’re bringing it to Cook County and DuPage County prosecutors so they can consider bringing criminal charges 40 years after the Tylenol Murders.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Two of the world’s most persistent conflicts punctuated debate at the United Nations on Friday, as the annual gathering of world leaders deviated from the dominating issue of the war in Ukraine.
Addressing hostilities thousands of miles apart and sharing little more than their decades of longevity, the Palestinian and Pakistani leaders nonetheless delivered similar messages, accusing a neighbor of brutality and urging world leaders to do more.
“Our confidence in achieving a peace based on justice and international law is waning,” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said. “Do you want to kill what remains of hope in our souls?”
With Israel’s military occupation of the West Bank in its 55th year and no substantial peace talks in 13 years, it was a stark if perhaps unsurprisingly pessimistic assessment. Israel’s prime minister backed a two-state solution to the conflict in his own speech a day earlier — but there is almost no prospect for one in the near term.
Speaking to the U.N. General Assembly after the Palestinian leader, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif of Pakistan similarly addressed a generations-old fight, accusing India of a “relentless campaign of repression” in Jammu and Kashmir. Those mountainous lands have been claimed by both sides since British rule of the subcontinent ended 75 years ago and India and Pakistan were born.
Sharif urged world leaders and the U.N. to “play their rightful role” in resolving the fight and said India “must take credible steps” too.
India’s external affairs minister, S. Jaishankar, might provide a rebuttal to Sharif when he gets his turn at the rostrum on Saturday. India has called the region an integral part of its nation.
After days of world leaders returning again and again to Ukraine, Sharif and Abbas provided a reminder of the other problems facing the international community.
Later, Iraqi caretaker Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi spoke of the “political impasse” gripping his country for nearly a year and preventing the formation of a new government. He called for “serious and transparent dialogue” among the various factions.
And Bangladesh’s prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, repeated complaints that 1 million Rohingya refugees in crowded camps in her country are a threat to its security.
“The situation can potentially fuel radicalization,” she said of those who fled a harsh crackdown by Myanmar’s military.
Hasina has said that repatriation is the only solution to the crisis, but that Bangladesh would not force them to go back to Myanmar, where members of the Muslim minority face extensive discrimination.
Throughout the first three days and 104 leaders’ speeches, many criticized how Russia had managed to block U.N. action on Ukraine because of the veto it wields as a permanent member of the Security Council. Abbas shifted the attention to the power of Israel and its allies, which he said meant no matter how many hundreds of resolutions pass, none would be implemented.
“Do you know who is protecting Israel from being held accountable? The United Nations,” he said in a speech more than three times the 15-minute limit leaders are asked to respect.
Israel, in turn, has complained that it has been treated unfairly by the world body and has been held to a different standard from other member states, as when it comes to complaints about human rights violations. Its ambassador to the U.N., Joshua Lavine, issued a statement calling Abbas’ speech “a lie-filled rant.”
Even as other issues bubbled up, many leaders continued to call for action against Russian President Vladimir Putin for his invasion of Ukraine.
“He won’t stop at Ukraine if we don’t stop him now,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Friday.
Major battlefield developments in Ukraine cast a shadow over the week – nuclear threats by Putin, the activation of some military reservists and votes in Russian-held territories derided by many world leaders and seen as a prelude to annexation.
Russia and Ukraine faced off Thursday at a Security Council meeting — an extraordinary if brief encounter during which the top diplomats from nations at war were in the same room exchanging barbs and accusations, albeit not directly to each other.
Meanwhile, on Friday, a team of experts commissioned by the U.N.’s top human rights body, said its initial investigation turned up evidence of war crimes committed in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion.
Besides Ukraine, familiar refrains have resounded in U.N. speeches, with repeated mentions of climate change, economic crises and inequality. The gathering is a rare moment for many leaders to grab the spotlight on a global stage dominated by the biggest, richest and most militarily mighty countries and issue calls for action.
“The obligation of each leader before history is not to overlook failings and shortcomings in favor of wishful thinking or flattery,” President Nicos Anastasiades of Cyprus said Friday in his final General Assembly speech as leader of the Mediterranean island nation.

CAGUAS, Puerto Rico (AP) — A hurricane expected to transform into a huge post-tropical storm will bring hurricane-strength wind, heavy rain and big waves to Atlantic Canada, meteorologists said Friday in warning that it has the potential to be one of the most severe storms in the country’s history.
Hurricane Fiona, which had weakened a bit to a Category 3 storm, was forecast to make landfall Saturday morning.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre issued a hurricane watch over extensive coastal expanses of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Fiona should reach the area as a “large and powerful post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds.”
“This is is definitely going to be one of, if not the most powerful, tropical cyclones to affect our part of the country,” said Ian Hubbard, meteorologist for the Canadian Hurricane Centre in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. “It’s going to be definitely as severe and as bad as any I’ve seen.”
Fiona was a Category 4 hurricane when it pounded Bermuda with heavy rains and winds earlier Friday as it swept by the island on a route heading for northeastern Canada. Authorities in Bermuda opened shelters and closed schools and offices ahead of Fiona. Michael Weeks, the national security minister, said there had been no reports of major damage.
The U.S. center said Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 125 mph (205 kph) late Friday afternoon. It was centered about 370 miles (595 kilometers) south-southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading northeast at 40 mph (65 kph).
Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 115 miles (185 kilometers) from the center and tropical storm-force winds extended outward up to 345 miles (555 kilometers).
Hubbard said the storm was weakening as it moved over cooler water and he felt it highly unlikely it would reach land with hurricane strength. Hurricanes in Canada are somewhat rare, in part because once the storms reach colder waters, they lose their main source of energy. and become extratropical. But those cyclones still can have hurricane-strength winds, though with a cold instead of a warm core and no visible eye. Their shape can be different, too. They lose their symmetric form and can more resemble a comma.
Bob Robichaud, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist for the Canadian Hurricane Centre, said the center of the storm was expected to arrive in Nova Scotia on Saturday morning, but its winds and rains would arrive late Friday.
“It’s going to a bad one,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. “We of course hope there won’t be much needed, but we feel there probably will be. And we will be there for that. In the meantime we encourage everyone to stay safe and to listen to the instructions of local authorities and hang in there for the next 24 hours.”
Officials in Prince Edward Island sent an emergency alert warning of severe flooding along the northern shore of the province. “Immediate efforts should be taken to protect belongings. Avoid shorelines, waves are extremely dangerous. Residents in those regions should be prepared to move out if needed,” the alert read.
Authorities in Nova Scotia sent an emergency alert to phones warning of Fiona’s arrival and urging people to say inside, avoid the shore, charge devices and have enough supplies for at least 72 hours. Officials warned of prolonged power outages, wind damage to trees and structures and coastal flooding and possible road washouts.
A hurricane warning was in effect for Nova Scotia from Hubbards to Brule; Prince Edward Island; Isle-de-la-Madeleine; and Newfoundland from Parson’s Pond to Francois.
Fiona so far has been blamed for at least five deaths — two in Puerto Rico, two in the Dominican Republic and one in the French island of Guadeloupe.
People across Atlantic Canada were stocking up on last-minute essentials and storm-proofing their properties Friday ahead of the arrival.
At Samsons Enterprises boatyard in the small Acadian community of Petit-de-Grat on Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island, Jordan David was helping his friend Kyle Boudreau tie down Boudreau’s lobster boat “Bad Influence” in hopes it wouldn’t be lifted and broken by winds .
“All we can do is hope for the best and prepare as best we can. There’s something coming, and just how bad is yet to be determined,” said David, wearing his outdoor waterproof gear.
Kyle Boudreau said he was worried. “This is our livelihood. Our boats get smashed, our traps gets smashed … it’s stuff you don’t have to start your season next year,” he said.
Aidan Sampson said he had been working 11-hour days in his father-in-law’s boatyard for the past week, lifting fishing vessels out of the water.
Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center said a newly formed tropical depression in the southern Caribbean was expected to begin strengthening, and hit Cuba early Tuesday as a hurricane and then hit southern Florida early Wednesday.
It was centered about 430 miles (690 kilometers) east-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. It had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (55 kph) and was moving at 15 mph (24 kph). A hurricane watch was issued for the Cayman Islands.
Before reaching Bermuda, Fiona caused severe flooding and devastation in Puerto Rico, leading U.S. President Joe Biden to say Thursday that the full force of the federal government is ready to help the U.S. territory recover.
Gov. Pedro Pierluisi of Puerto Rico activated the National Guard to help distribute diesel fuel to hospitals and supermarkets. The force is also supplying generators used to operate potable water plants and telecommunications towers. Hundreds of people remained isolated by blocked roads.

What’s the best Melt Cosmetics product?
Melt Cosmetics is a beauty brand founded by Lora Arellano and Dana Bomar in 2012. The founders have a history of working in the retail and makeup industry, so they create products that let people express themselves through vibrant, bold, highly pigmented color palettes. If you’re looking to add something with a pop to your makeup collection, the Melt Cosmetics Gemini Eyeshadow Palette 1 is sublime.
What to know before you buy a Melt Cosmetics product
Eye color
The hues of eyeshadow work best with different eye colors. For the best look, pick a color that flatters your skin and your eye color.
If you have:
- Blue eyes: Warm hues such as oranges, reds and cool pinks look best.
- Green eyes: Mauve, peach and earthy tones give the best appearance.
- Brown or gray eyes: These are neutral eye colors that suit either warm or cool tones.
If you’re not sure what colors go best with your eyes, check out a color wheel. The colors that are opposite each other on the wheel are complementary and can be paired together.
Lip color
For a shade of lipstick that is flattering, pick a color two shades darker than your natural lip color. The best way to do this is by applying your lipstick only on your lower lip and comparing it to your upper lip. Another thing to note is that dark colors and matte lipsticks make the lips appear thinner, while lighter shades and glosses make them seem fuller.
Skin undertones
- Cool undertones: This means you have a bluish hue to your skin. Lipsticks with purple or blue undertones, such as cherry red lipsticks, will best suit you.
- Warm undertones: These are indicated by golden or yellow hues. The best lipsticks to go with this are terracotta colors or bold red shades.
- Neutral undertones: If you have neutral undertones, your skin has a good balance of cool and warm undertones, so both cool and warm shades of lipstick flatter you.
While these are all guides, your preferences should always be considered because it is best to pick what suits your style and feels good to you.
Makeup brush
Using the right makeup brush during application helps you get the most out of your makeup product. For eyeshadow application, pick a brush that is dense and has a tip just a little smaller than your eyelids. Lip brushes should have finer tips, while blush and powder brushes should be well rounded with soft, fine bristles.
Cruelty-free
Melt Cosmetics is a cruelty-free brand and does not sell its products in any stores that require animal testing. Additionally, most Melt products are vegan and are clearly labeled on their ingredients tabs.
What to look for in a quality Melt Cosmetics product
Good pigmentation
Melt Cosmetics products are highly pigmented and easily visible when applied on your skin. Whether they are lipsticks, eyeshadows or blush palettes, you get rich hues ranging from bright colors to deep metallics, opaques or true matte shades.
Texture
The texture of a makeup product determines how easily it can be applied. A chalky, inconsistent texture will leave your skin feeling tacky and heavy. Melt Cosmetics products come in smooth and silky textures that sit well on the skin and blend easily, whether they’re powdered like eyeshadow or cream-based like a cream blush.
Long-lasting
When applied properly, Melt Cosmetics products can last for up to eight hours on the skin. They don’t lose their vibrancy and work well for extended wear. If you are layering your products, you can use a primer as a base before application to ensure that the makeup doesn’t cake and lasts even longer.
How much you can expect to spend on a Melt Cosmetics product
Melt Cosmetics cost about $16-$100, depending on the product and size.
Melt Cosmetics product FAQ
Where are Melt Cosmetics products made?
A. The products are made both in the U.S. and other parts of the world, such as Italy and Germany.
Do Melt Cosmetics products use talc?
A. Yes, some contain talc. You can always see a full list of ingredients on the product label.
Is Melt Cosmetics an indie brand?
A. Though Melt Cosmetics was founded as an indie brand, its popularity over the years has made it more available and mainstream.

HOBART, Australia (AP) — Two more whales died Friday in Australia after a handful that had been refloated a day earlier stranded themselves again.
About 200 pilot whales have now died from a group of about 230 that stranded themselves this week on the wild and remote west coast of Tasmania.
The whales were discovered Wednesday in Macquarie Harbour. About half were initially still alive, but pounding surf killed many more. Wildlife experts on Thursday managed to refloat 32 of the 35 that had survived.
Some of those whales ended up on the beach again Friday, Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania Incident Controller Brendon Clark said. He couldn’t confirm an exact number but said it was less than 10.
He said one of the whales died and another needed to be euthanized.
“That’s unfortunate but that’s also one of the consequences of these types of events,” Clark told reporters.
He said the priority was to try and refloat the three surviving whales that had remained stuck throughout the incident on a remote part of the beach as well as any of the whales that stranded themselves again.
After that would come the process of removing and disposing of the carcasses, he said. That would involve bringing them together at a central point on the beach.
“That way they can be basically longlined or tied together, ready for disposal at sea,” Clark said.
The whales will likely be towed into deep waters far from the coast so they don’t wash up on the shore.
Rescuers were hopeful they could reach the three remote stranded whales late Friday but faced difficulties due to the location and tidal conditions, Clark said. More than 50 government staff and volunteers have been involved in the rescue efforts.
The creatures were found two years after the largest whale mass-stranding in Australia’s history was discovered in the same harbor.
About 470 long-finned pilot whales were found in 2020 stuck on sandbars. After a weeklong effort, 111 of those whales were rescued but the rest died.
The entrance to the harbor is a notoriously shallow and dangerous channel known as Hell’s Gate.

Instant karma? Thief slams into parked trailer during getaway, homeowner says
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD/Gray News) - A homeowner in Texas says her home was hit by thieves twice in 48 hours, but one of them was injured while trying to get away.
KCBD reports that Nichole Shipman first spotted a man headed towards the back of her home on Wednesday while she was sitting in her car in the driveway.
She said he rode his bicycle past her towards a bike and an air pump she had on her property.
“I got out of my car and said, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ He said, ‘Sorry ma’am, I am just trying to pump my tire,’” Shipman said.
The man reportedly took off on his bicycle but then slammed into a trailer that was parked on the side of the street.
“It was the biggest boom I’ve ever heard,” Shipman said.
The homeowner said she immediately called the police.
However, Shipman said her bicycle and air pump were gone later that evening.
And on Thursday, her security cameras captured the same man back at her house. This time, he was not alone, as Shipman said her security camera video showed two men in her backyard.
“They were looking through windows and trying to get through the back door. Then, they tried our back window, but my dog, Freya, scared them off,” Shipman said.
The Lubbock resident said the men left but stole an axe from her backyard.
“That makes me think they have a weapon they could be trying to use. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody. It’s frightening,” Shipman said.
Lubbock police said no immediate arrests have been made in the case, and if anyone has further information, to contact them at 806-775-2865.

Southland Reactivation Act: Local leaders push to create jobs, help businesses in south suburbs
COOK COUNTY, Ill. - Local leaders are making a new push to create jobs and help businesses expand in the south suburbs.
Friday marked the launch of the Southland Reactivation Act.
The act creates a special designation for under-utilized properties in south suburban communities.
The goal is simple: provide incentives to help promote development at those locations that have struggled to keep businesses.
Under the act, properties that meet the qualifying criteria will be assessed at 50 percent of their last known equalized asset value.
SUBSCRIBE TO FOX 32 ON YOUTUBE
For the first year of being certified as a Southland Reactivation Property, their total tax liability bill cannot exceed $100,000.
Discounts of varying amounts would then be allowed to continue for up to 12 years.
Leaders say not only will this measure improve those properties, it will also help with the tax burden in the region.
As part of the rollout, organizers also plan to create an interactive map to allow prospective investors a closer look at those properties.

State Sen. Emil Jones III pleads not guilty to federal bribery charges
CHICAGO - Illinois state Sen. Emil Jones III pled not guilty at his arraignment Friday on federal bribery charges.
Jones, son of former Illinois Senate President Emil Jones Jr., is also charged with lying to the FBI.
The charges against the younger Jones point to a Senate bill filed in February 2019 requiring a statewide study of automated traffic law enforcement systems, including red-light cameras.
The feds say Jones agreed that, in exchange for benefits from an individual with an interest in SafeSpeed, he would work to limit such studies to systems used in Chicago, "thereby excluding from study and recommendations automated traffic enforcement systems utilized in numerous other municipalities" served by SafeSpeed.
Jones also allegedly told the individual with an interest in SafeSpeed that he would protect it from legislation in the General Assembly in exchange for $5,000 and a job for an unnamed associate.

The state senator allegedly lied to the FBI about his role in the scheme on Sept. 24, 2019.
That was the same day federal agents raided the home and offices of state Sen. Martin Sandoval, including in the state Capitol building. Sandoval died in 2020.
On Thursday, Jones resigned as chair of the Senate Licensed Activities Committee, but has not resigned from his legislative seat.
Gov. Pritzker has called for his resignation.

Rare, autographed Zuckerberg baseball card and NFT photographed by Irvin Simon Photographers goes to auction on September 24
NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Back in 1992, Irvin Simon Photographers, the largest independent school and sports photographer in the New York area, captured a picture of an eight-year-old Mark Zuckerberg posing with a baseball bat. Now known as the CEO of Meta (Nasdaq: META), Zuckerberg's autographed little league trading card and NFT, including documents that authenticate its existence, is being auctioned this week. The once-in-a-lifetime auction is hosted by ComicConnect, the leading auctioneer of vintage comic books and pop culture memorabilia.
Professional photos of a childhood experience – whether for a new school year or a sports team – capture priceless memories that aren't just about today, but tomorrow and beyond. "Every kid deserves a beautiful photo that showcases who they are, even if they're not Mark Zuckerberg," says Steve Miller, President and CEO of Irvin Simon Photographers. "Every child's photograph we take is special, and we are delighted to see the value of a childhood portrait represented at the auction."
In 1992, Zuckerberg was an eight-year-old boy who attended Elmwood Camp in Westchester County, New York. According to his trading card, he weighed 48 pounds and had a .920 batting average. Today, future change-makers are getting their pictures taken, safeguarding special moments in time. So, hold onto your school and sports portraits because they become more valuable with time.
Founded in 1946, Irvin Simon Photographers is a school and sports photography business committed to taking beautiful pictures of the people you love. For over 75 years, the family-run business captured many smiles, but never imagined capturing the portrait of Meta's CEO.

In some Tampa Bay-area schools, students use foam rollers and vibrating spheres to massage their muscles as they work toward goals for strength and flexibility. It’s all part of a new physical education curriculum from quarterback Tom Brady, whose vision for healthy living is fueling a fitness empire.
The arrangement with schools in Pinellas County, Florida, marks a foray into education for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar and his methods — including some that have been criticized as pseudoscience.
Physical education experts have raised questions about the approach’s suitability for school-age children. But the program — and its connection with the seven-time Super Bowl champion — has stirred student interest in fitness and nutrition, others say.
“My legs are lot more loose, and they’re not so heavy on me,” said Antoine James, an eighth-grader. “It really helps.”
A pilot project has embedded parts of the program in gym and health courses in 10 middle and high schools in the 96,000-student district. The TB12 Foundation, the charitable arm of Brady’s fitness business, is picking up the tab to train district staff and provide them with equipment.
The marketing boost for TB12, of course, is free.
Adults who embrace the “TB12 Method,” as Brady described it in a 2017 book, can meet with a trainer for $200 an hour at one of his company’s training centers. His product line includes a plant-based protein powder, electrolytes and vibrating rollers that sell for $160.
“I’m sure one of the benefits is to help students get better exercise habits and physical fitness habits,” said Karen Rommelfanger, an adjunct professor of neurology and psychiatry at Emory University. “But does it also start to enroll another generation of consumers for their product?”
In Pinellas County, the plan is to expand to the rest of its middle and high schools next year. If all goes well, Brady’s foundation is looking to use the program as a model for other districts.
“Today we kind of focus on a little bit older client for the most part,” said Grant Shriver, president and CEO at TB12, where the average client is around 40. “This just kind of gives us a little bit of a vision of how we could go approach just more people.”
The TB12 Foundation’s first partnership in education started in 2020 with Brockton Public Schools in Massachusetts, where Brady played for the New England Patriots. TB12 took a dozen of the district’s athletes to its training center free of charge. That effort later expanded to Malden Public Schools, also in the Boston area.
“I grew up where you lifted heavy weights and, you know, you gauge strength by how much you could bench press and how much you can squat. And this is completely different,” said Brockton Public Schools Athletic Director Kevin Karo. His district is now contracting to use some of the TB12 staff as strength and conditioning coaches for student-athletes.
Most of Brady’s advice is fairly mainstream, including an emphasis on a positive attitude, good nutrition and adequate sleep. But some of his guidance has faced skepticism. He famously attributed his propensity not to sunburn to his high water intake in his book. His trainer, Alex Guerrero, was investigated before joining Brady by the Federal Trade Commission over unsubstantiated claims that a supplement he promoted could cure concussions.
Brady, 45, describes his approach as a departure from the lift-heavy gym culture. He endorses instead exercise bands and something he calls “pliability,” which includes an emphasis on flexibility and massage.
“I feel like everything I’ve learned over the course of 23 years in football has and will allow me to continue to help people in different ways,” Brady said Thursday. “I think starting young is really important, educating people on what works as opposed to the way things have always been.”
Sports trainers have been moving toward a model that includes a mixture of strength training, flexibility and balance exercises, said Mike Fantigrassi, the senior director of product development for the National Academy of Sports Medicine, which certifies trainers. But he said he had concerns with the word “pliability” being taught in schools as though it was scientifically proven.
“It’s a term that they made up,” he said. “Some of this stuff is not rooted in good science. And if you’re bringing a curriculum into schools, I believe it should be rooted in good science.”
Brady is one of the world’s greatest athletes but does not have expertise in teaching children, said Terri Drain, a past president of the Society of Health and Physical Educators.
“I just am a little bit alarmed that a school district the size of this one would grab onto this celebrity program,” said Drain, who runs a nonprofit that provides professional development for health and physical education teachers.
On the diet front, Brady advises against foods in the nightshade family like peppers, tomatoes and eggplants because of inflammation concerns. Experts like Eric Rimm say a lot of Brady’s diet guidance is extreme and not backed by a “huge science base.”
Still, Rimm, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, said there could be benefits.
“If you’re getting rid of the average eighth grade American’s diet and shifting to what he eats, yeah, that’s a lot healthier,” he said. “That’s fantastic.”
One upside is the Brady name makes students perk up in class, said Allison Swank, an eighth grade wellness teacher and a track coach in Pinellas County.
“They definitely know who he is and it’s exciting for them to be able to relate what we’re going to be doing to his program,” she said.
In pilot classes, students take baseline assessments to evaluate areas like their strength, conditioning and flexibility. They then set goals to pursue for improvement, said pre-K-12 health and physical education specialist Ashley Grimes.
She said districts around the county have reached out, asking what the program is about and if it’s something they could do, too.
The program doesn’t use Brady’s book as a textbook, stressed Ben Wieder, a member of the Pinellas Education Foundation, who uses TB12 himself and approached the foundation about bringing the program to the district.
“Tom Brady eats avocado ice cream. Like, we don’t teach eating avocado ice cream,” Wieder said. Most of the science-backed elements of the curriculum are in line with Florida education standards, he said. “I think if you were to go through the book. you’re probably talking 90, 95% of the content is universally accepted.”

Dispatches from the set of Don’t Worry Darling, Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller, continue to trickle in as it hits theaters nationwide—following a buzzy press tour that abounded with rumors of unrest between Wilde and star Florence Pugh.
Tensions between Wilde and Pugh reportedly boiled over in January 2021, about three-quarters into filming, according to a new piece from senior Vulture reporter Chris Lee. An anonymous source who spent “significant time” on set confirmed this timeline to Vulture and cited Pugh’s frustration with Wilde’s “frequent unexplained absences” during shooting. “Olivia and Harry [Styles] would just disappear,” the source said, with the conflict culminating in a “screaming match.”
Discord between Wilde and Pugh reportedly caught the attention of Toby Emmerich, then Warner Bros.’ highest-ranking studio executive. According to Vulture’s source, Emmerich subsequently led a “long negotiation process” to guarantee that Pugh would promote the film “in any way” and not “jeopardize” box office totals. (A Warner Bros. spokesperson told the outlet that “Emmerich was traveling and unavailable to comment.” Representatives for Wilde and Pugh did not respond to Vulture’s requests for comment.)
Another sticking point in Don’t Worry Darling’s promotion has been whether original leading man Shia LaBeouf quit or was fired from the production. Multiple sources told the outlet that the studio was dissatisfied with Wilde’s handling of the controversy. (A source told Vanity Fair that Wilde had decided to fire LaBeouf, but allowed him to believe he was quitting.) “Olivia is either a mad genius who figured out a way to make people more aware of the movie in a way that just drives up the box office,” a person close to the production told Vulture, “or she doesn’t have any self-awareness that she is fucking up her movie.” (Warner Bros. did not respond to Vulture’s request for comment.)
On top of the explosive claims that did make it into Vulture’s piece, Lee shared additional unpublished details from his reporting in a series of since-deleted tweets. “@NYMag lawyers really ripped the guts out of this story. Wish you could read my original draft,” he wrote. Of the “screaming argument” between Wilde and Pugh, Lee tweeted, “Florence would give input on how she thought the next scene should be shot when Olivia wasn’t there. She was like, ‘I’m directing this movie more than you are!’ That was yelled at one point and people heard it. That spread all around very quickly.” The reporter added that the anecdote was provided by “an unimpeachable source who has zero agenda against the film or anyone who worked on it.”
When asked by Vanity Fair for her recent cover story about rumors that she “was so smitten with Styles that she neglected or otherwise alienated Pugh, and that Pugh and/or the cinematographer even had to direct some scenes,” Wilde responded: “The idea that I had five seconds in the day to be distracted by anything is laughable. I was there before everyone. I was there after everyone. And it was a dream. It’s not like this work was not enjoyable. It was just all-encompassing.”
As for specific complaints Pugh brought to Emmerich, Lee wrote: “Just that she was unhappy with Olivia. She doesn’t want to support the movie. And she just felt that she wasn’t taken care of by the director. That she doesn’t like her, basically.”
The reporter claimed that the film’s crew “was extremely pissed” when Wilde was photographed with Styles attending the January 2021 wedding at which they made their public debut as a couple. Wilde had reportedly given “lectures” about safety during filming, Lee wrote in one of the deleted tweets. “Don’t be stupid. You’re fucking up our movie. Don’t go to parties. Don’t congregate,” she told crew members, according to Lee’s source, who added, “There were so many complaints from the crew saying, ‘How dare she tell us to shelter in place while we’re doing this movie? And yet she goes to a public wedding with a group of people? This is fucking crazy!’”
Matthew Libatique, Don’t Worry Darling’s cinematographer, supported Wilde when asked about the on-set atmosphere by VF. “It was one of the most harmonious sets I’ve ever been on,” he said, “and I’m in the middle of the storm.”

Two US Senate races this year give Democrats their best shots at flipping the seat from red to blue. You may have heard about the first one, in Pennsylvania. The contest has drawn plenty of attention, thanks to John Fetterman’s near-death experience and to Mehmet Oz’s love of crudités.
The second, in Wisconsin, not so much. The matchup is a jump ball pitting an eccentric Trump-allied conservative Republican incumbent against a left-of-center Democratic rising star. Senator Ron Johnson has floated conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines, suggested ending Social Security, said that anyone who doesn’t like Wisconsin’s abortion ban “can move,” and has been roiled by controversy around his apparent role in the Trump team’s attempt to overturn the election (his office attempted to give Vice President Mike Pence an alternate slate of electors before the certification of Joe Biden’s win.) State lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes has so far kept the race close despite being vastly outspent and despite having run a relatively muted campaign—something that’s making some Democratic insiders nervous. “He’s not doing the typical 8 to 10 stops a day you do when you’re in a real dogfight. Johnson is very aggressive,” a veteran Democratic Wisconsin operative says. “Mandela is a young, charismatic guy with good stories to tell.”
This assessment of his schedule makes the Democratic challenger laugh. “Every day is nonstop campaigning. Today was back-to-back Zooms, mostly,” Barnes tells me. “Last weekend we had a real big rally with Senator [Amy] Klobuchar, about 25 miles from the Minnesota border. Even that day, we had a whole day of meet and greets. And the public events are certainly going to ramp up in the coming days.” In September, Barnes has been mixing time in the state’s population centers, Madison and Milwaukee, with travels to far more rural spots, including an Oneida Nation agricultural event outside Green Bay and a stop in Black River Falls, population 3,523.
Johnson’s campaign has outraised Barnes’s roughly $17 million to $7 million, and outside groups have roughly spent $26 million on behalf of Johnson, compared with $16 million for Barnes. Incumbency is a powerful financial advantage, of course. The gap also seems to be a product of the fact that small-dollar donations to Barnes have been sluggish, compared to those for other Democratic candidates around the country—which is surprising, given that this is a highly-winnable, high-stakes race.
Barnes, 35, is also less well-known across Wisconsin, and nationally. The son of a public school teacher and a union auto worker, he was a community organizer in Milwaukee before, at 25, knocking off an incumbent Democratic state assemblyman. He rose quickly through the state party by pairing his middle-class upbringing with a progressive agenda. In 2019, running on a ticket with Tony Evers, Barnes was elected the state’s first Black lieutenant governor and, during Donald Trump’s years as president, a frequent MSNBC guest. His Senate campaign team expected—correctly—that Johnson and outside groups would nonetheless try to paint Barnes as a stereotypical soft-on-crime, radical left, Black Democrat. Barnes has handed Republicans some helpful material on this front—several years ago posing for a photo holding an ”Abolish ICE” T-shirt, and saying in an interview that increased funding for neighborhood services should come from “over-bloated budgets in police departments.” Wisconsin TV viewers have also been bombarded with ads blaming Barnes and bail reform for crime increases in the state. Barnes, who once sponsored an (unsuccessful) bill to end cash bail in the state, has stuck by his position on the issue; he’s been careful to say that both police and social programs should be amply funded. Barnes has also countered the Republican fearmongering by playing nice. “He was introducing himself as a middle-class-first Democrat, a likable young man who will help you shovel your walk when it snows,” says Joe Zepecki, a Wisconsin Democratic strategist. “I've known Mandela a long time. He’s a fun guy and he’s a serious guy. But the number of times he’s smiling in these 30-second ads, that’s a choice. They’re putting him in a very good light because they know that’s the threshold they need to cross.”

If you’re a sentient being who’s been conscious over the last several months, you’re probably aware of the fact that the Republican Party is waging an all-out attack on reproductive rights. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June, GOP officials all across the country have passed or put into effect extreme abortion laws, while conservatives in Congress have set their sights on a national abortion ban. Given the unpopularity of this position—the majority of the public disapproved of Roe being overturned, with 62% of Americans in support of the medical procedure in “all” or “most” cases—you might have thought congressional Republicans would refrain from mentioning the subject between now and November, when they are hoping to take back control of the House and Senate. But apparently, they just can’t help themselves.
In a one-page “Commitment to America” officially unveiled on Friday, wherein House conservatives laid out their legislative priorities should they prevail in the midterms, the party declared that it will devote its time to, among other things, “protect[ing] the lives of unborn children.” Obviously, what they mean by this is that they’ll do everything in their power to obliterate the rights of pregnant people. While the agenda is short on any specifics or proposals, it’s not hard to fill in the blanks. Speaking to Axios, Representative Bob Good approvingly noted that there is a “strong majority” of House Republicans cosponsoring the Life at Conception Act, which would define life as beginning at the moment of fertilization, effectively making abortion illegal. (The bill currently has 166 cosponsors.) Meanwhile, Representative Don Bacon told the outlet he believes leadership will put a 15-week abortion ban on the floor for a vote and that it will “pass, most definitely.” We saw legislative precursors to these efforts just months ago, in July, when 209 House Republicans voted against the Women’s Health Protection Act; 205 House Republicans voted to prevent women from traveling across state lines to obtain an abortion; and 195 House Republicans voted against the Right to Contraception Act.
Responding to the GOP’s “Commitment to America,” Joe Biden warned: “If Republicans win control of Congress, abortion will be banned.”

Elsewhere in the plan, conservatives vowed to continue their assault on trans rights by “ensuring that only women can compete in women’s sports.” They also plan on pulling a Ron DeSantis by “advanc[ing] the Parents’ Bill of Rights.” (Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, better known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, was signed into law in March and has already turned the state’s schools into dystopian hellscapes.)
In addition, the “Commitment to America” also includes a pledge to enact “pro-growth tax and deregulatory policies.” Under the section “A Nation That’s Safe,” the party specifically promises to “prevent illegal [border] crossings” and “require legal status to get a job.” And naturally, during a year in which there’s been a mass shooting in America almost every single day, “safeguard[ing] the Second Amendment” makes the list of the GOP’s commitments. So does “guarantee[ing] religious freedom”—but given the party’s embrace of Christian nationalism, we can be pretty sure only one religion will benefit. There’s also an unintentionally hilarious vow to “save and strengthen Social Security and Medicare,” programs Republicans have already made abundantly clear are on the chopping block.
But hey, one person has already given the agenda high marks:

On Monday, Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest in a series of ceremonies the likes of which most people haven’t seen in their lifetime, and they gathered from around the UK and the world to pay their final respects. Front and center was King Charles III, the new monarch whose accession comes at a time of great upheaval in politics and society, both at home and abroad. On this special episode of DYNASTY, cohosts Katie Nicholl and Erin Vanderhoof are joined by Vanity Fair contributor Michelle Ruiz to analyze the elements of the funeral that reflected the queen, and to discuss the future for the House of Windsor. Can this dynasty weather the rest of the century, or even the next five years?
With exclusive details from her new book, The New Royals, out now as an e-book, Nicholl walks through some of the details of Charles’s upcoming coronation, likely to take place next spring or early summer; the support he has gotten from Queen Consort Camilla; and the truth behind his relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Though he mentioned them in his first address as king and wants desperately to heal the rifts, there is still tension on both sides of the equation. Finally, they walk through Prince William and Kate Middleton’s relaunch as the Prince and Princess of Wales, and what it means for the family’s future.

The second act of The Black Rep’s season 46 premiere production – Carlyle Brown’s The African Company Presents Richard III – opens with an intense monologue where a character explains how came to be known as Papa Shakespeare. It was a moniker given to him by his enslavers with the aim of ridiculing his perceived lack of command of the English language. He has a thick African accent that is sprinkled with a hint of West Indian from spending his formative years on a sugar cane plantation in the Caribbean.
At last Friday’s presentation, actor Wali Jamal Abdullah absolutely enchanted the audience with his story of finding the silver lining in what oppressors designed for evil – which is essentially a metaphor for the Black experience. During the dramatic climax of the speech, it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop. Bodies leaned towards the stage to make sure that they caught every word. And then, out of nowhere, a sneeze echoed through the Edison Theatre.
“Bless you,” Abdullah said, as himself. And then he stepped right back into Papa Shakespeare. He effortlessly transitioned back into the thick accent, and the pace
of the speech’s tricky cadence. He never missed a word as he continued with how he embraced the name and how he – just as Shakespeare did during his day – serves his circle as their griot. Though seemingly insignificant, Abdullah’s instinctive decision to break the fourth wall for the sake of a patron speaks volumes with respect to the power and purpose of Black theater as the griot of the Black community. As an institution, it is a place where Black people can see themselves and their stories on stage from their perspective – and performed with the care of the audience in mind.
The African Company Presents Richard III is a nod to the legacy of Black theater in the United States. Inspired by true events, the play chronicles the unrelenting will of a producer and his company to present their interpretation of the Shakespeare classic The Tragedy of King Richard the Third in New York more than 200 years ago. The African Company understood that artistic expression and representation are essential to liberation – so much so that they were willing to risk their own freedom to present their art.
White producer Stephen Price decides that their “Black Richard” is an affront to his staging of “Richard III.” He wields his power and influence to sabotage the efforts The African Company. Neither that – or bribery – can subside the iron will of William Henry Brown and his African Company.
With cultural racism as his backdrop, Carlyle Brown masterfully weaves the
juxtaposition and irony of the American story for the stage. Brown asserts that this oppression imposed on Black people is rooted in white insecurity. He even makes the case that the Black people of this era are among the greatest thespians to ever live, because they were forced to suppress their ingenuity and potential to assume lifelong roles of subservience that bore no resemblance to their true selves. And despite their sacrifices these actors suffered through to ensure survival, they stepped out of character with ease while in safe spaces to create a subculture that continues to frame and inform every element of America’s cultural contributions.
Though The African Company Presents Richard III is a play that caters to the intellectual theatregoer, the direction of Ron Himes and the performance of his talented actors provide a level of engagement that compensates for the lack of intense dramatic action and conflict. This is especially true with Abdullah and Eric
Dean White in his portrayal of Stephen Price. Abdullah is the soul and driving force of the production, but White magnificently sets the tone with the play’s monologue. The robust and lengthy speech promoting a freedom he shamelessly contradicts with his antics against the African Company could have easily lost the attention of the audience if in the hands of a less talented actor.
The passion of Olajuwon Davis as producer William Henry Brown creates a wonderful ebb and flow as he calls Price to task for the sake of his troupe’s artistic independence. The entire cast – which includes Cameron Jamarr Davis, Alex Jay, Coda Boyce and Dustin Petrillo – make for a well-balanced ensemble.
The sound design of Kareem Deanes is a stellar highlight among the technical elements of the show. The external noise feels like an additional character that amplifies the experience of the play – from the Baroque music that plays softly before the show begins to inform the audience of the era, to the pre-recorded reactions to the play within the play. And except for his choice for Ann Johnson’s mainstage role in the African Company’s costuming for Richard III – which feels too contemporary against the medieval ensembles of the other players – Andre Harrington takes bold risks with prints, patterns and colors for the time period that pay off quite nicely.
The Black Rep’s presentation of The African Company Presents Richard III continues through Sunday, September 25 at Washington University’s Edison Theatre, 6445 Forsyth Blvd. For tickets or additional information, visit www.theblackrep.org or call (314) 534-3807.

Jurassic World Dominion Passes $1 Billion at the Box Office
The Jurassic Park franchise has always been a reliable earner at the box office. Regardless, the series’ latest installment just cleared a major milestone. It took almost four months, but Deadline brings word that Jurassic World Dominion has officially made over $1 billion globally since it premiered earlier this summer.
Originally scheduled for release last year (but pushed back due to the COVID-19 outbreak), Dominion finally hit theaters back in June. Although it received mostly negative reviews, audiences still turned out in droves to see Jurassic World mainstays Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard team up with original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. The sequel was marketed as the final chapter in the Jurassic saga that began in 1993. But given its financial success, it might only be a matter of time before Universal gets the ball rolling on another installment.
Universal’s previous two Jurassic World entries also crossed the $1 billion threshold when they arrived in 2015 and 2018, respectively. And thanks to its own 20th anniversary re-release in 2013, the first Jurassic Park film was able to clear this hurdle as well. Unfortunately, the other sequels weren’t as lucky. In 1997, The Lost World: Jurassic Park finished its own box office run with $618.6 million. Four years later, Jurassic Park III fared even worse with $368.8 million in 2001.

In addition to being the second-highest-grossing movie of 2022, Dominion’s new total also makes it the latest film to cross the $1 billion mark during the pandemic. So far, only two other movies have managed to pull this off. The first, Spider-Man: No Way Home, hit theaters last December and went on to make more that $1.9 billion worldwide (some of which comes from its re-release earlier this month). Meanwhile, Top Gun: Maverick remains the highest-grossing film of the year with $1.5 billion and counting.
Jurassic World Dominion is now available to own on 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital. Both the theatrical and extended versions of the film are also currently streaming on Peacock.

For Banned Books Week, the Kansas City Public Library presented a visual reminder of what library bookshelves could look like when books are banned.
The library hung banners from its parking structure showing which titles would not be there had they been successfully challenged and banned.
The library's Crystal Faris discussed some of reasons people give for challenging books, the new Missouri law that resulted from Senate Bill 775 and what libraries around the state are doing in response to it.

She was then taken to the hospital for treatment and has since been released.
Troopers say when their investigation is complete, they will forward a report to the Ionia County Prosecutor’s office, which will decide if anyone involved faces charges.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Unified School District said they would distribute the opioid overdose treatment naloxone to all its schools.
News of the nation's second-largest school district providing the medication comes after 15-year-old Melanie Ramos fatally overdosed in a restroom at Bernstein High School on Sept. 13 after taking a pill that probably contained fentanyl, the Associated Press reported.
“We have an urgent crisis on our hands,” district Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said in a statement. “Research shows that the availability of naloxone along with overdose education is effective at decreasing overdoses and death–and will save lives. We will do everything in our power to ensure that not another student in our community is a victim to the growing opioid epidemic. Keeping students safe and healthy remains our highest priority.”
In a press release, Carvalho said that the county public health department would provide the medication for free.
All high schools in the district will get the medication in the next two weeks, and then it'll be distributed to other campuses in the coming weeks, Carvalho said.
Los Angeles Police told the Associated Press that in the last month, at least seven teenagers have overdosed after taking what officials believe were fentanyl-laced pills.
Carvalho added that the district would also implement an educational campaign that includes parent outreach and peer-to-peer counseling.
The district said staffers such as nurses will be or are already trained to administer the medication.
District officials said that training for school staff who aren't trained yet would begin in early October.

DOVER, Del. - Hundreds of veterans in Delaware attended the annual Veterans' Stand Down at Schutte Park in Dover today.
The event was canceled for the past two years due to the pandemic.
The Veterans' Stand Down is organized, planned and carried out by a volunteer committee that plans year-round. Agencies and local service providers across the state offer critically needed assistance in one convenient location.
Veterans who attended today's event had the opportunity to receive hair cuts, flu shots, housing or employment assistance, and more.
United States Marine Corps veteran, Ewen Cahall, said when veterans return home, oftentimes they do not know where to get the help they need.
"The people inside can teach you how to get your social security benefits that you deserve but don't know about because no one tells you. So this is a nice place to come." said Cahall.
Organizers say the mission of the annual stand down is to assist all Delaware veterans to achieve independence and self-sufficiency through access to information.
The event featured over 100 organizations to assist veterans as well as free lunch and live music.

CAMBRIDGE, Md. - They're a convenient way to drop off a letter, invitation or even a check, but thieves are targeting those blue U.S. Postal Service mailboxes you see all over town.
Andrew Clark, who lives in Cambridge says he can not believe a criminal would stoop to this level.
"The person who's doing it or the people who are doing it, they're going to be in a lot of trouble if they're caught. And it's alarming because I put mail in those mail boxes and a lot of people I know do," he said.
Cambridge Police tells WBOC it has received several complaints of mail theft, including checks.
Police say the complaints have been forwarded to the U.S. Postal Inspector, who investigates mail crimes.
In a statement to WBOC, the Postal Inspector's office says it has not received reports of theft in those areas, but is investigating the claims.
Tori Swann at Free Spirit Threads in Cambridge says the Postal Service should consider moving the boxes.
"I feel like the mail boxes should be moved to a high traffic area, like maybe like Poplar Street or somewhere like that. Just because there's people down here, there's cars parked," she said.
Clark says he will think twice about using the boxes going forward.
"I don't think I'm going to go to the blue boxes anymore, I think I'm just going to go to the post office because of the problems we've been having around here."
The USPS says you should mail close to the designated pick up times.

BOLTON LANDING, N.Y. — The dueling candidates for governor made their case to the New York business community Friday, with Republican nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Suffolk) one-upping Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul when it comes to one key issue.
“I personally am somebody who would be all in favor of there not even being an income tax in New York,” Zeldin said while speaking about sparking economic growth at the annual conference of the Business Council of New York State.
“But even if you’re reducing the income tax, it will be progress,” Zeldin added while highlighting business-friendly positions like lifting a state ban on the fracking of natural gas and curbing proposals to ban gas hook-ups in new buildings.
Hochul has cultivated ties to business leaders since she replaced disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo last year while drawing a red line on raising taxes on the wealthy with the left-leaning Democratic legislative supermajorities in Albany.
She also argued that her administration has actively pursued new investments in the state from daily calls with corporate execs to proposing controversial legislation that would promote superconductor manufacturing through billions in state tax subsidies.
“We made sure that we had 15% in reserves for that rainy day – or as we say in Buffalo – the ‘blizzard day,'” Hochul added about setting aside billions to cover future shortfalls with annual state operating expenses.
The two candidates leaned on favorite talking points as well, with Zeldin arguing that he would roll back bail reform amid rising crime while Hochul argued a controversial decision by the US Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade had transformed abortion into a matter of dollars and cents for her capitalist-minded audience.
“This is a state that respects the rights of all your workers. You will not have to spend your money to fly any of your women employees out of state for basic reproductive services,” Hochul added.
Zeldin, who aroused controversy months ago by suggesting he would appoint a pro-life health commissioner, downplayed the possibility of significant changes to state abortion policy while declining to categorically rule out executive actions on the topic if elected.
“I am not planning to roll back that law and that is both working through the legislature and via executive action,” he said while referencing the Reproductive Health Act that enshrined abortion rights in state law.
He said his campaign remains fixed on rolling back many of the controversial criminal justice reforms passed by Albany Democrats in recent years, including bail reform and limits on the use of solitary confinement.
/imZeldin has also campaigned hard in recent weeks against state efforts to tighten oversight over yeshivas following a blockbuster investigation by The New York Times.
“New Yorkers are hitting their breaking point. They feel like their wallet, their safety, their freedom, the quality of their kid’s education are under attack,” Zeldin told conference attendees Friday while bashing Hochul for refusing to debate him more than once.
While he remains down in the polls, he told business leaders Friday that he remains on track to win despite the odds — if only New Yorkers would give his candidacy a fresh look in the final stretch of the campaign.
“I just asked over the course of these next six-and-a-half weeks that you do absolutely everything in your power to do what in your heart you know is right,” Zeldin added.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — As sports betting has swept across the country with states, casinos and consumers eagerly embracing a new gambling market, internet casino games have grown much more slowly.
But the online casino market has tremendous potential for growth and expansion, participants in a major casino conference said Friday.
Speaking at the East Coast Gaming Congress, executives of online gambling companies and their technology partners said the rapid growth of sports betting has provided a ready-made infrastructure and regulatory apparatus for online casino games.
So far, such gambling is legal in only six states: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Delaware and Connecticut.
But panelists at the conference predicted three or four additional states could soon adopt internet gambling, including Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and New York.
In addition, more than a dozen states sell lottery tickets over the internet, according to James Carey, executive director of the New Jersey Lottery.
“I’m confident there’s plenty of room for growth,” said Jeffrey Millar, commercial director of North American operations for Evolution, an online casino content provider.
“The growth in this industry is still in its infancy stages in the U.S.” added David Rebuck, New Jersey’s top gambling regulator as director of the state’s Division of Gaming Enforcement.
Richard Schwartz, CEO of Chicago-based online gambling company Rush Street Interactive, said states that already have legal sports betting are strong candidates to adopt online casino games as well.
“They already have regulators in place,” he said. “They have servers in place. It’s quicker to start up a casino addition.”
Currently, 31 states plus Washington, D.C., offer legal sports betting, with several more expected to do so soon.
Since it launched internet gambling nine years ago, New Jersey’s casinos have won $4.79 billion from gamblers online, according to the American Gaming Association, the casino industry’s national trade group. That’s nearly twice the $2.47 billion Pennsylvania casinos have won online since July 2019.
Michigan has won $2 billion online since Jan. 2021; Connecticut $199.7 million since Oct. 2021; West Virginia $137.4 million since July 2020; and Delaware $42.2 million since Dec. 2013. Nevada offers online poker but does not break out that revenue separately from the in-person revenue casinos report to the state.
Those figures are for online casino games only, and do not include sports betting revenue, which is reported separately.
New Jersey is on the verge of extending its law permitting internet gambling for another 10 years, and during Thursday’s opening session of the casino conference, the state’s Democratic governor, Phil Murphy, promised he would sign the bill it if passed.
A 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a case brought by New Jersey cleared the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting should they choose to do so. With that rapid expansion came an expectation in some quarters that internet gambling would almost automatically grow at a similarly rapid pace.
“That didn’t happen,” said Howard Glaser, head of government affairs and legislative counsel at Liught & Wonder, the successor company to the gambling tech firm Scientific Games.
He said there are lingering concerns, particularly among some state legislators, that internet gambling could cannibalize revenue and customers from brick-and-mortar casinos — even though the gambling industry itself has established that has not been the case.
Casinos initially had the same concerns when New Jersey launched internet gambling in Nov. 2013. Luisa Woods is vice president of Delaware North, the gambling, hospitality and sports company that owns casinos in New York, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, West Virginia and Ohio.
She previously was head of digital operations for Atlantic City’s Tropicana casino in 2013.
“My first job was selling the company that I am not here to compete with your business; I’m here to help it grow,” she said. “We integrated the brand, we created loyalty accounts for every single remote customer. We had people who would show up at the property for the first time and have a host already assigned to them.”

NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Anyone expecting to be on Route 146 in the coming nights should give themselves some extra travel time.
The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) says to expect slower travel in both directions as crews demolish the Twin River Road and Breakneck Hill Road bridges in North Providence.
The demolitions are planned for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The bridges will be taken apart and rebuilt in two stages, according to RIDOT.
Drivers are urged to use caution when traveling through this area during the construction.

TOLEDO, Ohio — General Motors says it will spend $760 million to renovate its transmission factory in Toledo, Ohio, so it can build drive lines for electric vehicles.
It’s the first GM engine or transmission plant to begin the long transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. The company has a goal of making only electric passenger vehicles by 2035.
The move will keep the jobs of about 1,500 hourly and salaried workers at the Toledo plant, which now makes four transmissions used in pickup trucks and many other GM internal combustion vehicles. No new hiring is expected.
“This investment helps build job security for our Toledo team for years to come, and is the next step on our journey to an all-electric future,” Gerald Johnson, executive vice president of global manufacturing for GM, said in a statement Friday.
Electric drive lines take power from the batteries and convert it to motion at the wheels.
The 2.8 million-square-foot Toledo plant, built in 1956, will make drive lines for future electric trucks including the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups, along with GMC Hummer EVs.
The announcement Friday at the plant is good news for the workers in Toledo, who have worried about the future of their plant. GM employs about 10,000 workers at engine and transmission factories across the U.S., and their futures are uncertain as the switch to electric vehicles picks up momentum.
“Of course there’s always worry,” said Jeff King, shop chairman for the United Auto Workers union local at the plant. “I think it reflects on the workforce that we have here, the quality of product that we build.”
Most workers gathered for the announcement Friday were happy to hear details that their plant would live on.
“This is great news for our individual plant because we’re going to get a new product,” said worker Kim Hunter Jones of Adrian, Michigan. But she said she’s concerned about workers at other GM engine and transmission plants that don’t yet have assurances that they’ll build electric-vehicle components.
GM’s Johnson, though, said the company wants to bring all of its employees along during the transition. “Our goal is to make sure everybody who is with General Motors today has an opportunity to move into the all-EV future,” he said.
Another worker, Patrice Harris of Toledo, said the announcement means she won’t have to move from her hometown. Other GM workers have been forced to move when their plants closed or didn’t get new products to make.
“It’s a big deal for me because that means I still have work,” she said. “I’m born and raised. I don’t want to relocate.”
Johnson said he suspects the $760 million investment will qualify for some tax incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act, but said that hasn’t been worked out yet.
GM says the factory will continue to make transmissions for internal combustion vehicles, as it gradually switches to electric drive lines. Work on the renovation will start this month, with EV component production beginning early in 2024, Johnson said.
GM CEO Mary Barra has pledged to unseat Tesla as the top seller of EVs by the middle of this decade.

Lockport Police Explorers is looking to give young people a look at real-life policing in two get-togethers per month from October to June.
Youths aged 15 to 20 years are invited to apply for admission.
Teachers will include Officer Bill Jones, Officer Julie Snyder, Officer Miguel Bermudez, Officer Michael Stroud and Lt. Dave Pytlik as primary supervisors, but other experts, such as officers on the K9 team, will come in and discuss the field that they specialize in.
Topics to be covered include forensics and detective work, custody issues (handcuffing, booking, fingerprinting), firearms, reality based training, physical training and traffic stops.
"This year we're starting with forensics," Pytlik said.
Forensic training includes fingerprinting, as well as the collection of DNA and securing evidence. Pytlik said explorers will be put in a couple rooms – a working example of a typical crime scene – with a broken window, some strands of hair, cell phones and other pieces of evidence for them to catalog and collect using real-life police work skills.
Retired police officers have volunteered to role-play in the traffic stop training, which will highlight a dangerous situation in which the individual pulled over has a weapon or is known to have fought police in the past.
Youths accepted into the program must obtain a parent's permission to participate, maintain at least a "C" average grade-wise in school and remain in good moral standing.
This is the second year of the Lockport Police Explorers program, and three of the four participants in the inaugural program are returning. The fourth participant is going to college, Pytlik said.
Police Explorers is an opportunity for young people to learn about police work and whether they're interested in getting into the field or not.
“Typically we get people who desire to become police officers, but anyone is welcome," Pytlik said. "We want the community to know what we do and why we do it.”
To obtain an application, email DPytlik@lockportny.gov or go to the walk-up window at Lockport Police Department, at the rear of city hall off Niagara Street.

WASHINGTON — Actor Ryan Grantham, who appeared in the CW show "Riverdale," has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering his mother and plotting to kill Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to several media outlets.
The 24-year-old Canadian actor will not be eligible for parole for 14 years, according to the CBC. Grantham had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder earlier this year, a crime that carries an automatic life sentence in Canada.
A court hearing in June revealed that Grantham shot his 64-year-old mother Barbara White while she played piano on March 31, 2020, according to CBC. The day after killing his mother, Grantham had loaded his car with three guns, ammunition, 12 Molotov cocktails and a printed map with a plan to kill the Canadian Prime Minister.
Shortly after the murder, the Canadian actor filmed a video confessing to killing his mother, which had been shown in court. According to CBC, he also had thoughts of committing a mass shooting at Simon Fraser University where he was enrolled.
Grantham eventually turned himself in to the authorities. Presiding Justice Kathleen Ker called it a "saving grace" that the Canadian actor had decided to turn himself in, ending his decision to carry out a killing spree, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The court had found Grantham battled depression in the months prior to the murder, CBC reports. Psychiatric reports were presented to the court showing the actor had suicidal thoughts, self-hatred and guilt following the murder, according to the Los Angeles Times.
His lawyer, Chris Johnson, said to Canadian outlet CTV News that Grantham was not surprised by the sentencing.
Grantham, who was sentenced in Vancouver on Wednesday, had more than 30 acting credits including his role in the 2010 "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movie, the New York Times reports. His most recent role was in 2019 as Jeffery in "Riverdale."

Students were dismissed early, Friday, because of flooding within the Emmet Belknap Intermediate School building caused by a broken 1-inch line. No one was hurt and there was no danger, according to the school district’s website.
City Engineer Steve Pump said he heard about the water-break and investigated at approximately 1:30 p.m.
Pump said the cause of the flooding was from a 1-inch pipe behind a toilet on the second floor, which broke while it was being fixed. No water cut-off could be found, so the water to the building was shut off and the school was subsequently evacuated.
Pump said there was water on the tile floor of the building, as well as some water-damage to the ceiling of the first floor. He noted that the school seemed well-organized while evacuating students to parents and buses.
In a press release by the district, school officials decided evacuate students through the dry areas, because of the extent of the water and it's proximity to electricity.
Later when the school was "deemed safe" students were allowed to come in between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday to pick up belongings.
Materials and belongings left in classrooms that were not picked up will be secured in the classrooms and lockers until opening on Monday when the school will be opened.

WASHINGTON — Elton John was all in on a plan to perform at the White House before the world-famous rockin' piano player hangs it up — he says — for good.
John was swinging by the South Lawn on Friday night for a show he's calling “A Night When Hope and History Rhyme,” a reference to a poem by Irishman Seamus Heaney that President Joe Biden often quotes.
It will be John's first White House gig since he performed with Stevie Wonder at a state dinner in 1998 honoring British Prime Minister Tony Blair. At age 75, John is on a farewell tour after performing for more than 50 years.
A giant open-air tent and stage were set up on the White House lawn for the show,. The 2,000-person guest list includes teachers, nurses, frontline workers and LGBTQ advocates, plus civil rights advocate Ruby Bridges and Jeanne White-Ginder, an AIDS activist and mother of Ryan White, who died from AIDs-related complications in 1990. The president was expected to give remarks.
"The president and the first lady will celebrate the vast contributions Sir Elton has made across his lifetime as an artist and advocate," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.
The show came together after A+E Networks and the History Channel, which are footing the bill, asked the White House and John if they'd be up for a collaboration honoring “everyday history-makers" as well as John himself, according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning.
It's not clear whether the show will be broadcast beyond the live performance, though eager viewers can tune into the White House livestream to catch the president's remarks, at least. John has worked with A+E in the past on his global HIV/AIDS charity, the Elton John Foundation, which has raised more than $525 million to combat the virus around the world.
The History Channel is hosting a new episode of its series “HistoryTalks” in Washington on Saturday, and John will be in town playing Nationals Park as part of his final tour. He opened the final leg of his North American farewell series in Philadelphia in July.
The president and first lady are big fans. Biden wrote in a 2017 memoir about singing “Crocodile Rock” to his two young boys as he drove them to school, and again later to son Beau before he died of cancer at age 46.
“I started singing the lyrics to Beau, quietly, so just the two of us could hear it,” Biden wrote. “Beau didn’t open his eyes, but I could see through my own tears that he was smiling.”
Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, was also a fan of John. He tried to get John to perform at his 2017 inauguration but John declined, saying he didn’t think it was appropriate for a Brit to play at the swearing-in of an American president.
The White House insisted Friday's show wasn’t an effort to troll Trump, who has praised John in his books and has often featured John’s music — including “Rocket Man” and “Tiny Dancer” — in his pre-rally playlists over the years. Trump nicknamed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “rocket man” for his record of test-firing missiles.
Sir Elton — he was knighted in 1998 by Queen Elizabeth II — has sold over 300 million records worldwide, played over 4,000 shows in 80 countries and recorded one of the best-selling singles of all time, his 1997 reworking of “Candle In The Wind” to eulogize Princess Diana, which sold 33 million copies.

WASHINGTON — The NFL's announcement of a new sponsor for the Super Bowl halftime show has Taylor Swift fans in a frenzy, speculating that the pop star will headline the 2023 performance.
The announcement that Apple Music would be replacing Pepsi, which sponsored the show for the past 10 years, seems pretty straight forward on the surface.
But if you ask Taylor Swift's fans, the timing of that development is what's key. That's because the NFL and Apple Music shared the news at midnight Eastern. Swift's new album is called "Midnights," so she's been making a lot of references lately to midnight, ever since she suddenly announced the project last month at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards.
By Friday afternoon, Taylor Swift was trending on Twitter as Variety, PEOPLE and TMZ dropped conflicting reports on whether or not the Super Bowl halftime show was locked in.
Variety initially reported "three sources close to the situation" said "it's happening," but then they updated the story to include how other close sources said it's not happening. And both PEOPLE and TMZ published separate reports Friday afternoon that the superstar was not scheduled to hit the Super Bowl stage next February in Glendale, Arizona.
Fans may not need to wait too long to find out whether or not the rumors are true. Two of the last three Super Bowls announced the halftime show headliners right around the end of September.
Last year, the NFL and Jay-Z's Roc Nation announced on Sept. 30 that Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar would be performing for the first time on stage together at the 2022 Super Bowl. Over 120 million viewers watched last February's halftime show.
How much do performers get paid for the Super Bowl halftime show?
While they might not leave with a check from the NFL, the true benefit of performing at the halftime show is worldwide exposure that leads to more music sales and streaming.
For instance, The Weeknd's music sales soared by 385% in the wake of his performance at the 2021 Super Bowl, according to Billboard. Streaming of his songs on apps like Spotify and Apple Music increased by around 41%, Billboard reported.

WASHINGTON — Stocks fell sharply worldwide Friday on worries an already slowing global economy could fall into recession as central banks raise the pressure with additional interest rate hikes.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.6%, closing at its lowest level since late 2020. The S&P 500 fell 1.7%, close to its 2022 low set in mid-June, while the Nasdaq slid 1.8%.
The selling capped another rough week on Wall Street, leaving the major indexes with their fifth weekly loss in six weeks.
Energy prices closed sharply lower as traders worried about a possible recession. Treasury yields, which affect rates on mortgages and other kinds of loans, held at multiyear highs.
European stocks fell just as sharply or more after preliminary data there suggested business activity had its worst monthly contraction since the start of 2021. Adding to the pressure was a new plan announced in London to cut taxes, which sent U.K. yields soaring because it could ultimately force its central bank to raise rates even more sharply.
The Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world aggressively hiked interest rates this week in hopes of undercutting high inflation, with more big increases promised for the future. Such moves put the brakes on economies by design, in hopes that slower purchases by households and businesses will deflate inflationary pressures. But they also threaten a recession, if they rise too far or too quickly.
Besides Friday’s discouraging data on European business activity, a separate report suggested U.S. activity is also still shrinking, though not quite as badly as in earlier months.
“Financial markets are now fully absorbing the Fed’s harsh message that there will be no retreat from the inflation fight,” Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a research report.
U.S. crude oil prices slid 5.7% to their lowest levels since early this year on worries that a weaker global economy will burn less fuel. Cryptocurrency prices also fell sharply because higher interest rates tend to hit hardest the investments that look the priciest or the most risky.
Even gold fell in the worldwide rout, as bonds paying higher yields make investments that pay no interest look less attractive. Meanwhile the U.S. dollar has been moving sharply higher against other currencies. That can hurt profits for U.S. companies with lots of overseas business, as well as put a financial squeeze on much of the developing world.
The S&P 500 fell 64.76 points to 3,693.23, its fourth straight drop. The Dow, which at one point was down more than 800 points, lost 486.27 points to close at 29,590.41. The Nasdaq fell 198.88 points to 10,867.93.
Smaller company stocks did even worse. The Russell 2000 fell 42.72 points, or 2.5%, to close at 1,679.59.
More than 85% of stocks in the S&P 500 closed in the red, with technology companies, retailers and banks among the biggest weights on the benchmark index.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday lifted its benchmark rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, to a range of 3% to 3.25%. It was at virtually zero at the start of the year. The Fed also released a forecast suggesting its benchmark rate could be 4.4% by the year’s end, a full point higher than envisioned in June.
Treasury yields have climbed to multiyear highs as interest rates rise. The yield on the 2-year Treasury, which tends to follow expectations for Federal Reserve action, rose to 4.20% from 4.12% late Thursday. It is trading at its highest level since 2007. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences mortgage rates, slipped to 3.69% from 3.71%.
Goldman Sachs strategists say a majority of their clients now see a “hard landing” that pulls the economy sharply lower as inevitable. The question for them is just on the timing, magnitude and length of a potential recession.
Higher interest rates hurt all kinds of investments, but stocks could stay steady as long as corporate profits grow strongly. The problem is that many analysts are beginning to cut their forecasts for upcoming earnings because of higher rates and worries about a possible recession.
“Increasingly, market psychology has transitioned from concerns over inflation to worries that, at a minimum, corporate profits will decline as economic growth slows demand,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist for LPL Financial.
In the U.S., the jobs market has remained remarkably solid, and many analysts think the economy grew in the summer quarter after shrinking in the first six months of the year. But the encouraging signs also suggest the Fed may have to jack rates even higher to get the cooling needed to bring down inflation.
Some key areas of the economy are already weakening. Mortgage rates have reached 14-year highs, causing sales of existing homes to drop 20% in the past year. But other areas that do best when rates are low are also hurting.
In Europe, meanwhile, the already fragile economy is dealing with the effects of war on its eastern front following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The European Central Bank is hiking its key interest rate to combat inflation even as the region’s economy is already expected to plunge into a recession. And in Asia, China’s economy is contending with still-strict measures meant to limit COVID infections that also hurt businesses.
While Friday’s economic reports were discouraging, few on Wall Street saw them as enough to convince the Fed and other central banks to soften their stance on raising rates. So they just reinforced the fear that rates will keep rising in the face of already slowing economies.

SEATTLE — The goodwill gained from the Seahawks' stunning upset win over Russell Wilson's Denver Broncos is waning – if it hasn't already completely gone.
The team's 27-7 loss to its division rival San Francisco 49ers last week highlighted how far away Seattle is from most of the NFL. (And it highlights how Denver Broncos rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett botched a winnable game in Week 1.)
The Seahawks Week 1 win was undeniably important to the fans and the franchise, but the team can't coast the entire season riding one big victory.
Beating the winless Atlanta Falcons at home Sunday afternoon would help stir some optimism again.
Game info
- Matchup: Seahawks (1-1) vs. Falcons (0-2)
- Time: Sunday, 1:25 p.m.
- Location: Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington
- Key Seahawks: Geno Smith (QB), DK Metcalf (WR), Tyler Lockett (WR)
- Key Falcons: Marcus Mariota (QB), Drake London (WR), Kyle Pitts (TE)
Seattle's stone age offense
Through two games the Seahawks' offense has been very, very bad. Which we mostly expected with quarterback Geno Smith leading the offense.
But the extent to which the Seahawks are running an offense befitting the stone age is remarkable. For one, they are scoring just 12 points per game, the 30th fewest in the National Football League (NFL).
Seattle is running just 48 plays per game, easily the lowest mark in the league. The Seahawks were also last in plays per game at 56 in 2021. Their pace of play is the 28th slowest, according to Football Outsiders.
And here's the pièce de résistance: Smith's average throw is traveling just 5.2 yards, as the veteran seems unwilling to stretch the field. (Or, maybe, head coach Pete Carroll isn't scheming receivers open for him to capitalize. We'll see).
Unless something dramatic changes, these offensive tweaks dramatically hurt the ceilings for wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, who have combined for 206 yards in two games this season. Metcalf's average target depth was 13.4 with Wilson in 2021; that mark has plummeted to 7.8 this year.
There really is little else going on in the pass-catching ranks, because the two top wideouts have dominated 48% of the Seahawks' targets.
Tight end Noah Fant, a possible breakout candidate before the season, has run a route on just 54% of Smith's dropbacks and is averaging a meager 13.5 receiving yards per game.
Can Smith unlock more parts of the offense or is this unit destined to play like it's 1945?
What is going on in the Seahawks backfield?
This isn't much better. Rookie running back Kenneth Walker III made his debut in Week 2 and entered a three-man committee that totaled 34 yards on 12 carries.
Travis Homer led all Seahawks running backs with a 45% snap share and ran the most routes of the trio, according to Pro Football Focus. He recorded 42 yards on six touches.
Running back Rashaad Penny, last week's leader in snaps, was on the field for 41% of snaps and was inefficient on the ground (15 yards).
Walker III was on the field for just 12 snaps, but he dominated touches in limited time with six opportunities.
In the second half, Carroll made the stunning decision to play four running backs at the same time....only to have running back DeeJay Dallas throw a pass attempt that was intercepted in the red zone. This questionable play call squandered a rare chance for the Seahawks' punchless offense.
Bottom line: None of the running backs played well or separated themselves from their peers, so this could be another unproductive mess Sunday afternoon.
Fantasy football tip
Uh, don't really start anyone on the Seahawks' offense. Metcalf, Penny and Lockett are possible FLEX options, but nothing more. We're still a few weeks away from Walker III possibly claiming the lion's share of running back touches.
Injury report
Seahawks: Safety Quandre Diggs and linebacker Cody Barton were limited in practice Thursday after missing Wednesday entirely. Guards Gabe Jackson and Damien Lewis were upgraded to full participants on Thursday.
Center Austin Blythe's status is uncertain, however. He was limited on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday.
Falcons: Atlanta had a clean injury report on Thursday, with only one player missing practice but that was due to a personal matter and not injury.
Game prediction
Falcons 27, Seahawks 17.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Downtown Sioux City is getting a pop of color from local artists.
The annual Alley Art Festival is back over the weekend. Over 30 local painters have colored the city’s alleyways by Pierce and Nebraska streets.
Sioux City artist Michael Kamm is participating in the festival for the first time. After years of being a graphic design artist, Kamm recently picked up painting and he said he enjoys the camaraderie of the event.
“It’s been super great,” he said. “Most of the times, I’m down here, there’s four or five other people who are painting as well, so that’s kind of nice to be around people. We’re all kind of collectively working on the large project together. It’s been a really great experience so far.”
This year’s edition of the festival will also include live music and vendors as well as a tie dye experience.

Porsche has created another virtual concept car for the Gran Turismo video game series. Called Vision GT Spyder, it will be available to “Gran Turismo 7” players September 29.
First shown on Twitter, the Vision GT Spyder is an open-roof version of the Porsche Vision GT coupe the automaker unveiled in late 2021. While other automakers have been showing Vision Gran Turismo concepts for years, this was the first from Porsche, as the automaker was largely absent from the Gran Turismo world until 2017 due to licensing agreements.
This is your first look at the Porsche #VisionGT Spyder – the open-top variant of the concept vehicle designed purely for the digital world. Available for all @thegranturismo 7 drivers on Sept 29. #GT7 pic.twitter.com/Z8Or5pANBj
— Porsche (@Porsche) September 21, 2022
The Vision GT concepts are electric sports cars exploring possible future design themes. Porsche actually built a full-scale mockup of the Vision GT coupe, but it’s unclear if it did the same with the Spyder.
While the Vision GT Spyder and coupe were designed purely for Gran Turismo games, their styling has a bit in common with the Porsche Mission R concept, a drivable track car Porsche unveiled in September 2021. It’s thought to be a preview of the electric 718 Cayman the automaker is thought to be readying for a mid-decade launch.
But Porsche’s next production EV won’t be a sleek sports car. It will be the next-generation Macan, which is expected to arrive next year as a 2024 model. While the gasoline Macan is expected to stick around as well, Porsche reportedly expects the EV to match the current-generation gasoline Macan in sales. Recall that the Macan is currently Porsche’s most popular model.
Porsche in July also confirmed plans for an electric SUV positioned above the Cayenne, which is scheduled to arrive in the second half of the decade. The automaker is thought to be planning an electric Panamera successor as well, and is investing in new battery tech.

Stocks fell sharply worldwide Friday on worries an already slowing global economy could fall into recession as central banks raise the pressure with additional interest rate hikes.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.6%, closing at its lowest level since late 2020. The S&P 500 fell 1.7%, close to its 2022 low set in mid-June, while the Nasdaq slid 1.8%.
The selling capped another rough week on Wall Street, leaving the major indexes with their fifth weekly loss in six weeks.
Energy prices closed sharply lower as traders worried about a possible recession. Treasury yields, which affect rates on mortgages and other kinds of loans, held at multiyear highs.
European stocks fell just as sharply or more after preliminary data there suggested business activity had its worst monthly contraction since the start of 2021. Adding to the pressure was a new plan announced in London to cut taxes, which sent U.K. yields soaring because it could ultimately force its central bank to raise rates even more sharply.
The Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world aggressively hiked interest rates this week in hopes of undercutting high inflation, with more big increases promised for the future. Such moves put the brakes on economies by design, in hopes that slower purchases by households and businesses will deflate inflationary pressures. But they also threaten a recession, if they rise too far or too quickly.
Besides Friday’s discouraging data on European business activity, a separate report suggested U.S. activity is also still shrinking, though not quite as badly as in earlier months.
“Financial markets are now fully absorbing the Fed’s harsh message that there will be no retreat from the inflation fight,” Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a research report.
U.S. crude oil prices slid 5.7% to their lowest levels since early this year on worries that a weaker global economy will burn less fuel. Cryptocurrency prices also fell sharply because higher interest rates tend to hit hardest the investments that look the priciest or the most risky.
Even gold fell in the worldwide rout, as bonds paying higher yields make investments that pay no interest look less attractive. Meanwhile the U.S. dollar has been moving sharply higher against other currencies. That can hurt profits for U.S. companies with lots of overseas business, as well as put a financial squeeze on much of the developing world.
The S&P 500 fell 64.76 points to 3,693.23, its fourth straight drop. The Dow, which at one point was down more than 800 points, lost 486.27 points to close at 29,590.41. The Nasdaq fell 198.88 points to 10,867.93.
Smaller company stocks did even worse. The Russell 2000 fell 42.72 points, or 2.5%, to close at 1,679.59.
More than 85% of stocks in the S&P 500 closed in the red, with technology companies, retailers and banks among the biggest weights on the benchmark index.

The Fed also released a forecast suggesting its benchmark rate could be 4.4% by the year’s end, a full point higher than envisioned in June.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona can enforce a near-total ban on abortions that has been blocked for nearly 50 years, a judge ruled Friday, meaning clinics across the state will have to stop providing the procedures to avoid the filing of criminal charges against doctors and other medical workers.
An injunction has long blocked enforcement of a law, on the books since before Arizona became a state, that bans nearly all abortions. The only exemption is if the woman’s life is in jeopardy.
The ruling also means people seeking abortions will have to go to another state to obtain one.
An appeal of the ruling is likely.
The decision from Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson came more than a month after she heard arguments on Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s request to lift the injunction. It had been in place since shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in the Roe v. Wade case, which held that women had a constitutional right to abortion.
The high court overturned Roe on June 24 and said states can regulate abortion as they wish.
What’s allowed in each state has shifted as legislatures and courts have acted. Bans on abortion at any point in pregnancy are in place in 12 Republican-led states.
In another state, Wisconsin, clinics have stopped providing abortions amid litigation over whether an 1849 ban is in effect. Georgia bans abortions once fetal cardiac activity and be detected and Florida and Utah have bans that kick in after 15 and 18 weeks gestation, respectively.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
PHOENIX (AP) — A new Arizona law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy takes effect Saturday as a judge weighs a request to allow a pre-statehood law that outlaws nearly all abortions to be enforced.
The 15-week law passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey in March was enacted in hopes the U.S. Supreme Court would pare back limits on abortion regulations. It mirrored a Mississippi law that the high court was considering at the time that cut about nine weeks off the previous threshold.
Instead, the conservative justices who hold a court majority completely overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that said women have a constitutional right to end a pregnancy. Now states are allowed to make all abortions illegal, and a dozen have while others have enacted new limits.
Abortion foes celebrated the 15-week ban’s passage. Ducey, who signed every abortion restriction bill that reached his desk during his eight years in office, also cheered the 15-week ban.
“In Arizona, we know there is immeasurable value in every life – including preborn life,” Ducey said in his March 30 signing letter. “I believe it is each state’s responsibility to protect them.”
The same day he signed the abortion ban, Ducey also approved legislation banning transgender women and girls from playing on women’s sports teams. It also takes effect Saturday, along with most other laws passed this year.
Meanwhile, abortion providers await a decision by a judge in Tucson who is considering a request from Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich to lift an injunction in place since just after Roe was decided that blocked enforcement of the pre-statehood law.
Judge Kellie Johnson said during a hearing last month that she would rule on Sept. 20 at the earliest. Planned Parenthood and its Arizona affiliate had urged her not to allow the old law to be enforced against medical providers and instead allow the host of other abortion restrictions passed since Roe was overturned to stand.
Ducey has a similar take. He has argued that the 15-week ban he signed takes precedence over the old law, which was first enacted as part of the set of laws known as the “Howell Code” adopted by 1st Arizona Territorial Legislature in 1864.
Despite his conflict with Brnovich over whether the new or old laws take precedence, Ducey did not send his in-house lawyers to argue for his position at the Aug. 19 hearing.
The 15-week law will only effect about 5% of the abortions performed in the state, according to statistics in the previous three yearly reports compiled by the Arizona Department of Health Services. The state averaged just under 13,000 abortions per year during that time.
But combined with a law passed last year that bans abortions because a fetus has a genetic abnormality such as Down syndrome, the restrictions add up, said Dr. DeShawn Taylor, who provides abortion services at her clinic in Glendale.
“People forget that these percentages are actual people,” Taylor said in a Tuesday interview. “The population of Arizona continues to grow … and that five to 10% is a lot of people who otherwise either have to stay pregnant or find a means to get out of state to get the care they need.”
Taylor is an OB-GYN who runs Desert Star Family Planning, where she provides a full range of reproductive health care and is one of the few clinics that provide second-trimester abortions. Like virtually all abortion providers in the state, she stopped both surgical and medication abortions after the Supreme Court threw out Roe.
Providers pointed to the pre-statehood and a “personhood” law that has a provision banning abortion for genetic reasons that they feared could lead to prosecutions for shutting down. But after a federal judge on July 11 blocked that provision because he said it was unconstitutionally vague, Taylor and other providers restarted services.
But it was difficult because her staff still feared prosecution, she said. A longtime nurse had quit before Roe was overturned because she was worried about the upcoming decision, Taylor said.
Her medical assistant also left, and another nurse who had helped with abortions for three years was initially reluctant to restart procedures out of unfounded concerns she could be criminally charged.
“It took some time to convince that individual that I don’t want to go to jail either,” Taylor said. “Why would I be doing something illegal and asking her to do the same?”
Ultimately, the nurse agreed to help, but only with non-surgical abortions, Taylor said.
On Monday, Taylor said she did her last pre-abortion consultation because she expected the ruling could come on Tuesday. Arizona requires an ultrasound and consultation at least a day bore an abortion is performed, and she did not want patients to have to call off a procedure.
After a turbulent summer, Taylor said Friday that she has shut down her clinic for the rest of the month.

HOMEWOOD, Ala. (AP) — To the world, Harper Lee was aloof to the point of being unknowable, an obsessively private person who spent most of her life avoiding the public gaze despite writing one of the best-selling books ever, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” To Wayne Flynt, the Alabama-born author was his friend, Nelle.
Flynt, a longtime Southern historian who became close friends with Nelle Harper Lee late in her life, has written his second book about the author, “Afternoons with Harper Lee,” which was released Thursday with Flynt signing copies at a bookstore in suburban Birmingham.
Based on Flynt’s notes from dozens of visits with Lee over a decade before her death in 2016, the book is like sitting on a porch and hearing tales of Lee’s childhood and family in rural Alabama, her later life in New York and everything in between. That includes the time a grandfather who fought for the Confederacy survived the Battle of Gettysburg despite heavy losses to his Alabama unit, according to Flynt.
“I told her, ‘You know, half the 15th of Alabama was either killed or wounded or captured, and he got away? Is that just luck or the providence of God? What in the world is that?’” Flynt said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“And she said, ‘No, it’s not the providence of God. He could run fast.'”
The public perception of Lee as a hermit is wrong, Flynt, a former history professor at Auburn University, said. No, she didn’t do media interviews and she guarded her privacy zealously, but she also was warm and kind to friends that included a former first lady, Lady Bird Johnson, Flynt said. And Lee was “deeply religious” in a way many people aren’t, he said.
“It’s an attempt to tell the story of the authentic woman, not the marble lady,” Flynt said.
The book also is a tribute to Flynt’s late wife Dartie, who died in 2020. Lee, who suffered a stroke in 2007, seemed to identify with the physical travails of Dartie Flynt, who had Parkinson’s disease, Flynt said.
“I think she tolerated me because she loved Dartie,” he said.
Born in 1926 when the South was still racially segregated by law, Lee grew up in the south Alabama town of Monroeville, the daughter of a lawyer who served as a model for attorney Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” a story of race, injustice and the law during the Jim Crow era. The town itself became Maycomb, the book’s setting.
Preferring football, softball, golf and books to small-town social affairs or college sororities, Lee’s well-known desire for privacy may have come in part from a feeling of being different from others growing up around her in the South, Flynt said.
“I think she occupied a world where she felt she was not like other girls,” he said.
A childhood friend of fellow author Truman Capote, Lee was rarely heard from in public after her partly autobiographical “Mockingbird” won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was made into a hit movie. She mostly lived in an apartment in Manhattan, where it was easier to blend in than back home until the stroke left her partially paralyzed.
Flynt and his late wife knew Lee’s two sisters, and they became close to the author after she returned to Alabama for good following the stroke. They visited her at a rehabilitation center in Birmingham and then at an assisted living home in Monroeville, where she spent years before her death. Lee died just months after the release of her novel “Go Set a Watchman,” which actually was an early version of “Mockingbird.”
The book doesn’t get into the most private aspects of Lee’s life; Flynt said they simply didn’t discuss such things. But it does recount her worsening isolation from deafness and blindness toward the end of her life; her love of gambling; the furor over “Watchman;” and her authorship of a still-unpublished manuscript about a bizarre murder case in central Alabama.
Lee was steeped in literature and religion, Flynt said. She preferred the King James Version of the Bible to all others for its lyrical language, he said, and her favorite authors included Jane Austen and C.S. Lewis.
“When she died, on her ottoman in her little two rooms, was the complete anthology of all of C.S. Lewis’ books. It must have weighed 50 pounds,” he said.
“Afternoons With Harper Lee” is a followup to Flynt’s “Mockingbird Songs: My Friendship with Harper Lee.” While the first book was based on letters between the two, the new book is more meandering and conversational than the first in the tradition of Southern storytelling.
“The letters are lifeless compared to the stories,” he said.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, released his health records as he maneuvers to keep questions about Democratic rival John Fetterman’s recovery from a stroke front and center in the hotly contested campaign.
Dr. Rebecca Kurth in New York City wrote in a four-page letter that she found the 62-year-old heart surgeon-turned-TV celebrity to be in “excellent health” in an annual checkup Thursday.
The letter noted that Oz has a total cholesterol level that is “borderline elevated” but can be addressed by diet, and referenced that in 2010 he had a polyp — a growth that sometimes can become cancerous — removed from his colon. An electrocardiogram — a test that records electrical signals in the heart to detect heart problems — he had Thursday came out normal.
“Your examination is healthy, and the blood tests are favorable,” Kurth wrote. She recommended no medication.
The release of the health records comes as Oz is trying to close a gap in the polls and is increasingly making Fetterman’s fitness to serve a central theme in his campaign.
Fetterman, 53, has been silent about releasing medical records or providing access for reporters to question his doctors, now more than four months after he suffered a stroke in May that has had lingering effects on his speech and hearing.
Two editorial boards, of The Washington Post and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, have called for Fetterman to release medical records after his refusal to debate Oz more than once. The Post-Gazette said that should include cognitive tests and making his doctors available to reporters.
It said Oz should release his medical records, too — a request to which Oz quickly agreed.
In a statement, Oz said “voters should have full transparency when it comes to the health status of candidates running for office.” Oz, a heart surgeon, is best known for “The Dr. Oz Show,” which he hosted on daytime TV for 13 years.
Fetterman’s campaign again made no commitment Friday to releasing records or providing access to his doctors.
Rather, he attacked Oz in a statement that revives some of the themes Fetterman has advanced during the campaign — including highlighting long-standing criticism that Oz often promoted questionable products and medical advice on his show.
“In June, I released a letter from my doctor where he clearly stated that I am fit to serve,” Fetterman said in the statement. “Dr. Oz built his entire career by lying to people about health. I trust my actual doctors over the opinion of a charlatan who played one on TV.”
Fetterman has been receiving speech therapy and the letter from his cardiologist said he will be fine and able to serve in the Senate if he eats healthy foods, takes prescribed medication and exercises.
The race in the presidential battleground to replace retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey could help determine control of the closely divided Senate, and Democrats view it as perhaps their best opportunity to pick up a seat out of just a handful of close races nationally.
While it is customary for presidential candidates to release health records, there is no such custom in races for the U.S. Senate. Some U.S. senators have, in the past, released medical records when running for president.
Oz, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, also has questioned Fetterman’s truthfulness in disclosing the effects of his stroke.
Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, maintains that doctors expect him to make a full recovery from the stroke and that he is quickly improving, cognitively unaffected and maintaining the healthiest habits of his life.
Fetterman suffered the stroke on May 13, four days before he easily won his Democratic primary. His victory came hours after he underwent surgery to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator. Three weeks after the stroke, Fetterman revealed that he had “almost died” and his cardiologist’s letter disclosed he had a serious and potentially fatal heart condition.
Fetterman has been campaigning and speaking at public events, but speaks haltingly at times, garbles an occasional word and struggles to hear through background noise and quickly process what he’s hearing. He recently agreed to one debate against Oz, to be held Oct. 25, though Oz had pressed for more.
Fetterman will receive closed-captioning at the debate, but the candidates are still bickering about the terms. Oz is pushing to expand it to 90 minutes, from 60 minutes, to account for any delays from closed captioning.
Publicly, top Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have sought to calm party nerves over Fetterman’s condition, saying they are confident he is capable of serving.
Still, Fetterman has given reporters limited access to question him directly, doing just a few interviews since the stroke, all through video with closed-captioning to help him with auditory processing.
In a 2016 Senate contest in Illinois, Democrat Tammy Duckworth released years of medical records when there were questions about the fitness of Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, who had suffered a stroke in 2012.
Kirk was still suffering the effects of the stroke four years later, and, like Fetterman, did not provide access to his doctors or medical records. Still, Duckworth said during a debate that she thought Kirk was capable of doing the job but “the problem is he’s not doing it.”
Late in the race, Kirk’s campaign released a one-page letter from a treating physician that said the senator had made a “full cognitive recovery” while still speaking haltingly, dealing with limited use of his left leg and the inability to use his left arm, the Chicago Tribune reported at the time.
Kirk ended up losing his reelection bid.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A court in northern China sentenced one man to 24 years in jail Friday for his role in a vicious attack on four women, as well as other crimes including robbery and opening an illegal gambling ring.
The Guangyang Disrict People’s Court in northern Hebei province announced in a statement that the man, Chen Jizhi, was a ringleader of a criminal gang and had conducted criminal activities for years.
The court also sentenced 27 others. The charges against them include opening casinos, robbery, assisting in cybercrime activities, picking quarrels and provoking trouble and sentences range from 6 months to 11 years.
Authorities had started the investigation into Chen after a video came to light in early June in which he and some other men started beating up four women at a barbecue restaurant in Tangshan, a city in Hebei. The men spared no force, using glass bottles and their fists to attack the women and even throwing a chair.
Chen had started the assault on a woman after she rejected his advances and pushed away his hand. He then put his hands on her, and dragged her out of her chair. He was joined quickly by members of his crew as the woman’s friends tried to stop his attack. The incident was caught on video from surveillance cameras in the restaurant.
The graphic videos set off public anger and despair as many women raised concerns for their personal safety.
It also recalled the public sense of despair over violence against women that went unpunished, such as a case earlier in the year where a video circulated of a woman chained to the wall in a home in the country side. Authorities later found in an investigation that the woman had been trafficked and sold as a bride.
Initially, police arrested nine people, seven men and two women, for the attack on the four women. Two of the women had to be hospitalized for their injuries.
The investigation over the public assault has evolved into a larger investigation over criminal activities and corruption. Prosecutors later said they were charging 27 other people for crimes uncovered during the investigation.
In August, Communist Party authorities from the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection said they were investigating 15 officials over corruption that involved “evil organizations,” including those associated with the attackers.
The 15, including the director of Tangshan’s public security bureau and officers from several police stations, are suspected of abuse of power, bribery and other job-related crimes. Eight of them have been detained during the investigation.

CAGUAS, Puerto Rico (AP) — A hurricane expected to transform into a huge post-tropical storm will bring hurricane-strength wind, heavy rain and big waves to Atlantic Canada, meteorologists said Friday in warning that it has the potential to be one of the most severe storms in the country’s history.
Hurricane Fiona, which had weakened a bit to a Category 3 storm, was forecast to make landfall Saturday morning.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre issued a hurricane watch over extensive coastal expanses of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Fiona should reach the area as a “large and powerful post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds.”
“This is is definitely going to be one of, if not the most powerful, tropical cyclones to affect our part of the country,” said Ian Hubbard, meteorologist for the Canadian Hurricane Centre in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. “It’s going to be definitely as severe and as bad as any I’ve seen.”
Fiona was a Category 4 hurricane when it pounded Bermuda with heavy rains and winds earlier Friday as it swept by the island on a route heading for northeastern Canada. Authorities in Bermuda opened shelters and closed schools and offices ahead of Fiona. Michael Weeks, the national security minister, said there had been no reports of major damage.
The U.S. center said Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 125 mph (205 kph) late Friday afternoon. It was centered about 370 miles (595 kilometers) south-southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading northeast at 40 mph (65 kph).
Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 115 miles (185 kilometers) from the center and tropical storm-force winds extended outward up to 345 miles (555 kilometers).
Hubbard said the storm was weakening as it moved over cooler water and he felt it highly unlikely it would reach land with hurricane strength. Hurricanes in Canada are somewhat rare, in part because once the storms reach colder waters, they lose their main source of energy. and become extratropical. But those cyclones still can have hurricane-strength winds, though with a cold instead of a warm core and no visible eye. Their shape can be different, too. They lose their symmetric form and can more resemble a comma.
Bob Robichaud, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist for the Canadian Hurricane Centre, said the center of the storm was expected to arrive in Nova Scotia on Saturday morning, but its winds and rains would arrive late Friday.
“It’s going to a bad one,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. “We of course hope there won’t be much needed, but we feel there probably will be. And we will be there for that. In the meantime we encourage everyone to stay safe and to listen to the instructions of local authorities and hang in there for the next 24 hours.”
Officials in Prince Edward Island sent an emergency alert warning of severe flooding along the northern shore of the province. “Immediate efforts should be taken to protect belongings. Avoid shorelines, waves are extremely dangerous. Residents in those regions should be prepared to move out if needed,” the alert read.
Authorities in Nova Scotia sent an emergency alert to phones warning of Fiona’s arrival and urging people to say inside, avoid the shore, charge devices and have enough supplies for at least 72 hours. Officials warned of prolonged power outages, wind damage to trees and structures and coastal flooding and possible road washouts.
A hurricane warning was in effect for Nova Scotia from Hubbards to Brule; Prince Edward Island; Isle-de-la-Madeleine; and Newfoundland from Parson’s Pond to Francois.
Fiona so far has been blamed for at least five deaths — two in Puerto Rico, two in the Dominican Republic and one in the French island of Guadeloupe.
People across Atlantic Canada were stocking up on last-minute essentials and storm-proofing their properties Friday ahead of the arrival.
At Samsons Enterprises boatyard in the small Acadian community of Petit-de-Grat on Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island, Jordan David was helping his friend Kyle Boudreau tie down Boudreau’s lobster boat “Bad Influence” in hopes it wouldn’t be lifted and broken by winds .
“All we can do is hope for the best and prepare as best we can. There’s something coming, and just how bad is yet to be determined,” said David, wearing his outdoor waterproof gear.
Kyle Boudreau said he was worried. “This is our livelihood. Our boats get smashed, our traps gets smashed … it’s stuff you don’t have to start your season next year,” he said.
Aidan Sampson said he had been working 11-hour days in his father-in-law’s boatyard for the past week, lifting fishing vessels out of the water.
Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center said a newly formed tropical depression in the southern Caribbean was expected to begin strengthening, and hit Cuba early Tuesday as a hurricane and then hit southern Florida early Wednesday.
It was centered about 430 miles (690 kilometers) east-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. It had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (55 kph) and was moving at 15 mph (24 kph). A hurricane watch was issued for the Cayman Islands.
Before reaching Bermuda, Fiona caused severe flooding and devastation in Puerto Rico, leading U.S. President Joe Biden to say Thursday that the full force of the federal government is ready to help the U.S. territory recover.
Gov. Pedro Pierluisi of Puerto Rico activated the National Guard to help distribute diesel fuel to hospitals and supermarkets. The force is also supplying generators used to operate potable water plants and telecommunications towers. Hundreds of people remained isolated by blocked roads.

Everything you need to know about the Apple Watch Ultra
The Apple Watch already has earned a reputation for being a lifesaving device. Today, however, the company released its all-new model: the Apple Watch Ultra. This rugged device is possibly the most important thing to happen to watches since quartz. Here’s what you need to know about this revolutionary new smartwatch.
In this article: Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE
Who is the new Apple Watch Ultra for?
While the new Apple Watch Ultra can be used by anyone, it was designed from the ground up with adventurers, explorers and extreme athletes in mind. The features this watch offers cater to the individual using it in extreme conditions, such as trekking across a mountain or diving deep into the sea.
What’s new on Apple Watch Ultra?
There are an overwhelming amount of new features and upgrades on this watch. To give you a glimpse at the biggest changes, here are some highlights:
Rugged design
The Apple Watch Ultra case is made of aerospace-grade titanium that surrounds the flat sapphire front crystal to protect the edges from impacts. It’s designed to endure extreme environments and hold up when performing the most vigorous physical activities.
Biggest, brightest display yet
The Ultra has the biggest and brightest Apple Watch face ever. The always-on display is bright enough to be clearly seen in the midday sun. Night mode is optimized for low-light conditions and glows in a vivid red, while the time dial can be switched to a live compass to make sure you know precisely where you’re going.
Action button
The customizable action button in international orange can be set to perform a variety of functions. Its purpose is to give the user quick physical control when it may be needed the most.
Emergency features
Besides the built-in compass, the Apple Watch Ultra has a Backtrack feature that ensures no matter how far off the beaten path you wander, you’ll always have precise directions on how to get back to home base. If you ever need to get someone’s attention, the built-in emergency siren can be heard up to 600 feet away. Like other Apple Watches, the Ultra can automatically contact emergency services if it detects a fall or crash.
Additional speaker and mics
If you ever need to make a call from your watch, the three-microphone array and adaptive algorithm picks the best mic and filters out background noise for optimal voice clarity. The dual-speaker system dramatically improves the watch’s audio.
Enhanced GPS performance
The advanced, dual-frequency GPS has a custom positioning algorithm that gives athletes accurate distance information no matter what type of environment they’re in.
Activity-unique bands
Depending on where you’ll wear your new Apple Watch, it comes with one of three rugged bands. The Trail Loop is for the endurance athlete who needs something light yet durable. The Alpine Loop is for the rugged adventurer who needs a corrosion-resistant band that won’t break in even the most extreme conditions. The Ocean band is for water sports.
Built-in depth gauge and more
When the Ultra goes underwater, with the help of Huish Outdoors, the watch automatically turns into a certified dive computer that’s suitable for scuba diving and freediving down to 40 meters.
Only-cellular models
Since the Apple Watch Ultra needs to work no matter where you happen to be, all models are cellular. This means the watch does not need to be connected to your phone to function.
Extended battery life
With all the extra features the Ultra has, it would seem the battery life would decrease. Not at all. In fact, this watch boasts up to 36 hours of operation on a single charge. In the near future, with the coming low-power mode, you can get up to 60 hours per charge.
How much does the Apple Watch Ultra cost?
All models of the Apple Watch Ultra cost $799 and are available on Amazon.
Other all-new Apple Watches
If you like Apple Watches but don’t need the rugged design of the Ultra model, the Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS and cellular), the Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS), the Apple Watch SE (GPS and cellular) and the Apple Watch SE (GPS) were also just released this month.

Scientists believe there are about 20 quadrillion ants on Earth, according to a conservative estimate published in an academic journal this week.
University of Gloucestershire entomologist and ant stan Adam Hart says the biomass of all the ants on Earth would surpass that of all wild mammals and birds. The ant population would weigh 20% of the weight of all humans on the planet.
Scientists looked at the more than 500 studies on different types of ant populations in ecosystems around the world to form the estimate, Hart says.
“Every ant species we know is highly social. So when you find a worker ant walking around on the pavement or whatever and you follow it, it will take you back to a nest,” Hart says. “And in some species, those nests can be huge.”
Leafcutter ants in South America can reach a population of 8 million — and driver ant colonies in Africa can exceed 20 million, he says. These organized ant societies do complex work, which makes them an important part of ecosystems.
Ants aerate soil and help recycle nutrients by bringing materials down from the surface, Hart explains. The teeny creatures are also predators who prey on animals humans consider pests and increase biodiversity.
“If we think of insects as the glue that holds the ecosystem together, ants are almost kind of the super glue,” he says. “They’re involved in all kinds of different interactions that are of real significance.”
A few ant species use Earth’s magnetic field to navigate. Researchers are starting to understand the “tiny magnetic crystals” in ants’ brains that interact with the nervous system to direct them, Hart says.
“I guess in a sense you could say that ants have an inbuilt GPS system, which is at least as sophisticated as anything that we’ve come across in the natural world,” he says. “They are quite remarkable.”

Is rowing becoming a mainstream workout?
Peloton has taken aggressive efforts to hold its position as one of the top fitness companies in the world. Besides expanding its rental program and officially selling both apparel and gear on Amazon, Peloton announced its first rowing machine, the Peloton Row. While it won’t be released until December, the Peloton Row is already available for preorder.
Why isn’t rowing more popular?
For most people, walking is their primary method of getting around. It’s natural and easy to do. Riding a bike is also something many people have done since childhood. Rowing, however, is an activity that most would need to learn how to do in order for it to be beneficial. You can do more harm than good trying to row with poor form. Since it isn’t a natural, intuitive activity like walking, running or biking, rowing tends to get overlooked as an exercise.
Is rowing good for you?
When executed with proper form, rowing is one of the best exercises you can do. It’s a full-body workout that engages all the major muscle groups with every stroke. It’s also a low-impact exercise that’s great for your heart. In fact, one of the best ways to gauge your overall fitness is to do a 2,000-meter row for time. If you’re serious about fitness, rowing should be at least part of your workout regimen.
What features will the Peloton Row have?
Peloton Row will have all the interactive features you’ve come to expect from the company, such as great music, motivational workouts, exercising at your own level and smooth, quiet operation. However, it will also teach form, so you can get the most out of each and every workout while diminishing your chance of injury, and it has a swivel screen so you can hop off the machine to perform other exercises without missing a beat. And, possibly best of all, it folds up flat against a wall for storage, making it a good fit for nearly any home or apartment.
How much does the Peloton Row cost?
The Peloton Row starts at $3,195 and requires an additional $44/month subscription for a Peloton All-Access Membership.
Other bestselling rowing machines you can get right now
If the high-end Peloton is out of your budget or you don’t want to wait until 2023 to start getting fit, here are some more affordable rowing machines you can get right now:

HOBART, Australia (AP) — Two more whales died Friday in Australia after a handful that had been refloated a day earlier stranded themselves again.
About 200 pilot whales have now died from a group of about 230 that stranded themselves this week on the wild and remote west coast of Tasmania.
The whales were discovered Wednesday in Macquarie Harbour. About half were initially still alive, but pounding surf killed many more. Wildlife experts on Thursday managed to refloat 32 of the 35 that had survived.
Some of those whales ended up on the beach again Friday, Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania Incident Controller Brendon Clark said. He couldn’t confirm an exact number but said it was less than 10.
He said one of the whales died and another needed to be euthanized.
“That’s unfortunate but that’s also one of the consequences of these types of events,” Clark told reporters.
He said the priority was to try and refloat the three surviving whales that had remained stuck throughout the incident on a remote part of the beach as well as any of the whales that stranded themselves again.
After that would come the process of removing and disposing of the carcasses, he said. That would involve bringing them together at a central point on the beach.
“That way they can be basically longlined or tied together, ready for disposal at sea,” Clark said.
The whales will likely be towed into deep waters far from the coast so they don’t wash up on the shore.
Rescuers were hopeful they could reach the three remote stranded whales late Friday but faced difficulties due to the location and tidal conditions, Clark said. More than 50 government staff and volunteers have been involved in the rescue efforts.
The creatures were found two years after the largest whale mass-stranding in Australia’s history was discovered in the same harbor.
About 470 long-finned pilot whales were found in 2020 stuck on sandbars. After a weeklong effort, 111 of those whales were rescued but the rest died.
The entrance to the harbor is a notoriously shallow and dangerous channel known as Hell’s Gate.

A Chattanooga company has figured out a way to retain employees during their slow season.
M&M Industries is allowing their employees to work for other manufacturing companies around the Chattanooga area. To make things easier for everyone involved, they will still pay their employees and they will get to keep their benefits as well.
M&M Industries is a manufacturer of containers for hazardous and non-hazardous solids and liquids.
“Predominantly, we cater to pool chemical companies. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, we had a lot of customers that basically stock pilled on inventory and now they have that inventory and things have kind of slowed down and have been pushed out,” Crystal Henderson said.
On average M&M has a total of 120 to 125 employees on staff.
Crystal Henderson with M&M said the slowdown has put 43 employees out of a job.
That is when management brought up the idea of job sharing, so that employees could continue to work while business is slow.
“I think job sharing is a good opportunity for everyone involved. It is a great opportunity for employees to see other industries and what they are doing. It is a great opportunity for other companies to get the help that they need when they have peak seasons as well,” Henderson said.
Henderson said employees are glad to be able to work for another company until things get back to normal.
“Our employees were very excited about the opportunity. They were excited that they would be able to work and still be able to have a pay check. The response has been very positive so far,” Henderson said
M&M hopes to bring all of their employees back by December at the latest, depending on how quickly business picks up.
“I think for us this is the start of something that we could starting in the community and hopefully for other companies when they are slow, they could start doing this for other companies as well,” Henderson said.

During a campaign-style Friday speech at a Democratic National Committee event in Washington, President Joe Biden boasted about the three-month decline in gas prices and about the unemployment rate.
But he used inaccurate figures on both subjects.
Gas prices
Biden said: "Gas prices -- I know I got criticized for going into the stockpile. But guess what? Gas prices are down, $1.30 a gallon. And in 41 states plus the District of Columbia, the average gasoline price is less than $2.99."
Facts First: Biden's claim about average gasoline prices was false, as the White House acknowledged by correcting the official transcript after CNN inquired about the claim on Friday afternoon. In fact, zero states have an average price under $2.99 per gallon, figures from GasBuddy and the American Automobile Association show. As the correction notes, Biden got a key digit wrong: 41 states and the District of Columbia have an average price under $3.99, not $2.99.
Biden has correctly used the $3.99 figure in previous remarks, and it's good when a White House is willing to correct inaccuracies. But the price of gas is one of the most important numbers in politics. Even if the President made an inadvertent error this time, his incorrect remark was televised live on CNN and MSNBC.
The national average price for regular gasoline is $3.689, according to AAA.
The unemployment rate
Biden said: "We have a 3.7% unemployment rate, the lowest in 50 -- more than 50 years."
Facts First: The 3.7% unemployment rate is low by historical standards, but it's not the lowest in 50 years or in more than 50 years. In fact, the monthly rate was lower than 3.7% -- either 3.6% or 3.5% -- nine times in 2019 and early 2020, during former President Donald Trump's tenure, plus five times during Biden's own presidency.
A White House official noted Friday that on at least five previous occasions this month, Biden has correctly said that the current unemployment rate is "near" a 50-year low. (Before the Trump era, the rate hadn't been as low as 3.5% since 1969.) By claiming this time that the 3.7% rate is the lowest in more than 50 years, though, Biden not only erased the recent uptick from 3.5% to 3.7% but erased the performance of the pre-pandemic economy under his Republican predecessor.

Defense Comes Up Big For Karns City in 2-0 Boys Soccer Win Over Redbank Valley
KARNS CITY, Pa. (EYT/D9) — The Redbank Valley boys soccer team has a lot of firepower.
(Above, Karns City junior Lucas Yasika had seven saves in the shutout win over Redbank Valley)
Owen Clouse set the single-season record for goals scored last season. Owen Harmon also finds the back of the net as a matter of routine. Ty Carrier is also a threat to score.
It was a supreme challenge for the Karns City defense and junior goalkeeper Lucas Yasika.
The Gremlins answered that challenge with a 2-0 shutout win on Thursday night.
Redbank Valley, Keystone, and Union/A-C Valley sports coverage on Explore and D9Sports.com is brought to you by Heeter Lumber.
Yasika had seven saves. Most of them were difficult as Redbank and Karns City played even for most of the match.
“Last year as a sophomore, (Yasika) started every game,” said Karns City coach Justin Ryan. “He had some hiccups here and there, but this year he’s really put the work in to improve. He’s stepped in this year and taken charge.”
The two teams played to a scoreless tie in the first half.
Both teams had chances. Both teams were turned away.
The weather was also a factor with heavy winds and rain throughout the first 40 minutes.
“In the first half it was a little scary with all the rain and stuff — the gloves were a little slippery,” Yasika said. “But in the second half I felt more comfortable with the wind in our favor. I feel like that was a big help.
Finally, about 15 minutes into the second half, Jacob Callihan broke the stalemate with a goal to give the Gremlins a 1-0 lead.
It’s a precarious advantage against a team as potent as Redbank.
Yasika was well aware of that.
“It’s definitely a big relief when you score that first goal,” Yasika said. “Even though you’re up one, there’s still that pressure.”
Yasika handled it well.
And so did Karns City, which held off Redbank’s increased pressure.
Adam Smith gave the Gremlins some breathing room with a little less than five minutes remaining in the match with a goal to make it 2-0.
“I was about to just start blitzing down here and then the ball went right into the middle and the kid was right there,” said Redbank Valley coach Ty Scott. “That was kind of deflating. But we didn’t give up. We didn’t hang our heads. We continued to play to the whistle.”
Scott also lamented the opportunities that his Bulldogs weren’t able to finish.
“We just didn’t capitalize. I wish we did,” Scott said. “They wish they did.
“I told them that this was the best team we play all year, and I was right,” Scott added. “We had a zero up there because we didn’t capitalize and they did on our two mistakes. We’re not going to hang our heads because we lost to Karns City.”
The Gremlins also have some potent scorers.
Now the defense looks just as formidable going forward.
“It definitely gives me confidence,” Yasika said. “It gives me more assurance that when I get some of the harder shots, I can handle them.”

Hanna Dailey, Aubrey Price Lead Karns City Girls Soccer Team Past Redbank Valley
KARNS CITY, Pa. (EYT/D9) — It’s a new tradition this season for a girls soccer program that has a rich and storied one.
(Above, freshman Hanna Dailey, who had a hat trick in a win over Redbank Valley, holds the signed soccer ball given to the Woman of the Match for Karns City. She shared it with Aubrey Price.)
At the end of every Karns City soccer game, a ball is handed out to the “Woman of the Match.” The “wha-tom” ball as it’s pronounced, goes to the player who performed the best in the eyes of the coaches for a full 80 minutes.
On a blustery, rainy Thursday afternoon, that ball went to two Gremlins after a 7-1 win over Redbank Valley.
Hanna Dailey scored three goals and Aubrey Price also found the back of the net in the first half while playing well for the entire match to lead Karns City to the victory.
Redbank Valley, Keystone, and Union/A-C Valley sports coverage on Explore and D9Sports.com is brought to you by Heeter Lumber.
Each WotM signs the ball after they receive it.
“The ball came from our tournament in the summer with these girls that we won and we just decided that we were going to pick a WotM each game,” said Karns City coach Tracy Dailey. “It’s just kind of a way of recognizing good play all the way through 80 minutes of soccer.”
Hanna, just a freshman, earned her name on the ball with a pair of second half goals that put the game out of reach.
On her second of the final 40 minutes — and third of the game — she made an acrobatic play on the ball, punching it into the net as she fell, sprawled out, on the turf.
Hanna has given the Gremlins another dangerous weapon in a deep arsenal of them that includes seniors McKenna Martin and Emma Dailey.
“I think it’s very exciting, especially with this group of girls,” Hanna said. “I was excited to come in and do some things with them, and I couldn’t have gotten any of those goals without the whole team helping me.”
Karns City (7-3) led 4-1 at the half on the strength of goals from Martin, Emma Dailey, Price and Hanna Dailey.
Hanna scored twice to make it 6-1 and then Sarah Dodd capped the scoring with her goal late in the half.
“Aubrey and Hanna both played tremendous tonight,” Tracy Dailey said. “They were on the ball a ton in the midfield. They were working off each other and that lets us create so many opportunities.”
Lia Hageter scored for Redbank Valley on a penalty kick in the first half.
Redbank Valley coach Michael Dawson was pleased with how his team played in a difficult test against Karns City.
“Compared to our last game to this game, it was like night and day when it came to effort,” Dawson said. “If we can kind of bottle that for the rest of the year, I think we’ll be alright.
“We wanted to try to limit their shots as much as we could and I thought we did that,” Dawson added. “A lot of their makes were nice shots and it’s hard to stop those on any day to begin with. You can’t really stop (Emma) Dailey or Martin. You can only try to slow them down as much as you can. They’re kind of inevitable. They are pretty talented players.”
Redbank (3-4) has some talented players, too, and even in the loss, there were bright spots.
“We’re still preaching we need to play a full 80 minutes because we’ve had a couple of lapses here and there,” Dawson said. “We still haven’t done it, but I thought today was kind of the closest we’ve come to that. There are things we can fine tune here and there.”

Old School: Moniteau and Karns City Will Clash in a Game Where Passes Will Likely Be Scarce
WEST SUNBURY, Pa. (EYT/D9) — The Moniteau football team likes to run the football.
Lately, the Karns City football team has had to run the football.
When the two teams meet on Friday night, it will be a journey back in time to an era when the forward pass was frowned upon.
(Above, Moniteau running back Hunter Stalker follows his blockers during a game last season)
“This game could be over in an hour and 15 minutes,” said Moniteau coach Bob Rottman, chuckling.
Karns City (2-2) ran the ball 60 times last week against St. Marys in a 14-6 victory. Quarterback Eric Booher continues to recover from a hairline fracture in his right wrist which has prevented him from throwing a single pass the last two weeks, both Gremlin wins.
Backup quarterback Mason Martin is also mending from a broken finger on his throwing hand.
“They’re both close,” said Karns City coach Joe Sherwin. “They’re both on the same timetable. I’d say with in the next few weeks here.”
Rottman, though, is preparing his team in the event Booher can put the ball in the air Friday night.
“I’m still not ruling out them throwing the ball,” Rottman said.
Not that Karns City has had to put the ball in the air. Or even wants to at this point.
In the last two weeks, the Gremlins have run the ball 110 times for 582 yards.
The offensive line has gelled under the adversity of injured quarterbacks. Despite Ridgway and St. Marys knowing Karns City’s passing game is virtually non existent, it didn’t matter.
“I think it can be a springboard for the rest of the season,” Sherwin said. “It took us a few weeks to get the right guys in the right spots and so forth. We were looking at seven or eight guys on the offensive line, so we finally settled on a crew. It takes some time and luckily they were able to put it together the last few weeks and we were kind of able to turn our season around a little bit.”
Moniteau (1-3) is hoping to turn its around. And soon.
The Warriors lost a tough one, 7-0 to Brookville, last week.
Moniteau had a touchdown in that game called back by penalty and also turned the ball over at the Raider 13 on another drive.
Through four games, the Warriors have turned the ball over 17 times.
“We get something going and we shoot ourselves in the foot,” Rottman said. “I’ll be honest with you. We’ve struggled at different things over the last few years, but this is the first time I’ve dealt with the turnover bug. We’re just trying to be more disciplined and stress ball security, but I don’t want to handcuff them from being football players.”
Through it all, Moniteau has played stout defense.
Senior Matt Martino is having a stellar season with 54 tackles — 12 for a loss — in four games.
The Warriors have given up just 34 points in the last three weeks.
“The kids are playing fast on defense,” Rottman said. “They’re playing downhill. We have a lot of tackles for losses and we’ve been pressuring the quarterback. That’s helped on the back end with the passing defense this year.”
Rottman believes his team is a whisker away from breaking out.
“If there’s ever a week to do it,” he said, “this is the one.”
Here’s a look at some other key games in Week 5:
KANE (1-3) at UNION/A-C VALLEY (2-2)
It was a huge bounce-back win for Union/A-C Valley last week against Brockway.
Dawson Camper had a huge game for the Falcon Knights with 107 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Brody Dittman was efficient in the passing game, going 7 of 12 for 101 yards. Skyler Roxbury caught four passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. And the defense became the first to intercept Brockway quarterback Brayden Fox this season.
Camper also completed a 44 yard pass.
Kane comes to town coming off its first win of the season, a 48-27 triumph over Ridgway.
Ricky Zampogna had a massive game for the Wolves, rushing for 174 yards and five touchdowns as Kane amassed 434 yards on the ground.
Addison Plants added 136 yards and Sam West added 123 yards rushing for Kane.
REDBANK VALLEY (4-0) at RIDGWAY (0-4)
Redbank Valley is rolling into this matchup behind and offense that has been extremely potent.
Cam Wagner is quietly having an MVP-like season, completing nearly 74% of his passes for 1,039 yards and 17 touchdowns.
He has four standout receivers to throw to in seniors Tate Minich and Aiden Ortz and juniors Ashton Kahle and Mason Clouse.
The running game has also been effective for the Bulldogs. Sophomore Drew Byers has rushed for 326 yards this season and Wagner has shown the ability to run with 127 yards.
Ridgway is coming off a loss to Kane in which it gave up 434 yards rushing.
CENTRAL CLARION (4-0) at BRADFORD (0-4)
There’s been a lot of compelling stories around the Central Clarion football team this season during the Wildcats’ 4-0 start.
Jase Ferguson has elevated his game at quarterback as a sophomore. Ashton Rex has emerged as one of the best big-play receivers in the state. And Ryan Hummell has been a force at linebacker while playing on a torn ACL.
But what has really stood out has been Central Clarion’s penchant for causing turnovers.
The Wildcats have forced teams to turn the ball over 22 times in four games. That’s a staggering rate.
They travel to Bradford to play a team that is struggling mightily.
The Owls have been outscored 176-73 so far this season and have just 18 rushing yards in four games.
One of the bright spots for Bradford has been sophomore quarterback Talan Reese, who has thrown for 1,045 yards and seven TDs.
KEYSTONE (3-1) at SMETHPORT (1-3)
Keystone is coming off its first loss of the season in a game where not much went right in a 42-7 setback to rival Redbank.
Kyle Nellis did have 91 yards on 19 carries and Tyler Albright added 55 yards on the ground a touchdown, but the defense gave up nearly 400 yards passing.
Smethport has been something of an enigma. After losing to Redbank in Week 1 in a game where the Hubbers were missing 15 players, they bounced back to beat Cameron County, 22-6. Since, though, they have been shut out in back-to-back games.
BROCKWAY (2-2) at PORT ALLEGANY (3-1)
This Saturday afternoon game is a big one for both teams.
The Gators have shut out their last two opponents, beating Smethport, 28-0, and then Cameron County, 46-0, last week.
Blane Moses leads Port Allegany’s punishing ground game with 357 yards and seven touchdowns. Noah Archer has added 252 yards and quarterback Drew Evens 124 yards.
Brockway’s two losses have come by a combined seven points, including a 26-20 setback to Union/A-C Valley last week.
Brayden Fox has completed 90-of-146 for 1,168 yards and 12 TDs.
Alex Carlson already has 45 receptions for 536 yards for the Rovers.

Local Teen Allegedly Caught With Stolen Pistol, Drug Paraphernalia
RIMERSBURG BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) – A local teen is behind bars after police reportedly discovered a stolen pistol and various drug paraphernalia in a vehicle he was operating in Rimersburg Borough.
Court documents indicate the Southern Clarion County Regional Police Department filed criminal charges against 18-year-old Hayden Joseph Kizzia, of Rimersburg, on September 20.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Magisterial District Judge Jeffrey C. Miller’s office, police were requested to assist a Clarion County Probation officer concerning Hayden Kizzia, a person of interest, who was at a gas station in Rimersburg Borough, around 12:08 a.m. on September 20.
Upon police arrival, Clarion County Probation officers were conducting a search on a Blue Pontiac G6 with a Pennsylvania registration of LXY8754. The vehicle was not owned by Kizzia, but he was the driver and on probation, according to the complaint.
At one point in the search, a loaded black Taurus .9mm Model 709 Slim firearm, registered to a Rimersburg address, was found in the glove box of the car, the complaint states.
Contact was made by State Police Clarion Barracks, and the owner of the firearm had reported it stolen, the complaint indicates.
Kizzia is also not licensed to carry a firearm, the complaint notes.
Also reportedly found in Kizzia’s right pocket was a black and white pouch containing a clear glass pipe and six empty baggies with a white residue. In the back seat area of the car, officers reportedly discovered a black bag with more paraphernalia, including a scale, a small blue torch, a small black pouch containing more empty baggies, and a purple metal pipe, according to the complaint.
Kizzia was arraigned at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 20, in front of Judge Miller on the following charges:
– Receiving Stolen Property, Felony 2
– Firearms Not to be Carried without License, Felony 3
– Use/Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Misdemeanor (four counts)
Unable to post $15,000.00 monetary bail, he was lodged in the Clarion County Jail.
A preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday, October 4, at 8:30 a.m. with Judge Miller presiding.

These Pa. Voters Haven’t Missed a Single November Election for at Least 50 Years
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Gareth Biser of Gettysburg hasn’t missed a November election since he cast his first vote for a presidential contender named Dwight Eisenhower in 1956.
(Photo: PA Local spoke to more than a dozen of Pennsylvania’s Hall of Fame voters from geographically and politically diverse corners of the state. Photo credit: Amanda Berg / For Spotlight PA)
Article by Colin Deppen of Spotlight PA
Biser will turn 87 on Nov. 2, six days before this year’s pivotal midterm election. He said nothing short of an act of god will keep him from the polls.
The Army vet and former professor is something of a voting luminary, his unbroken streak having earned him a spot in Pennsylvania’s Voter Hall of Fame alongside 23,773 other balloters who went at least 50 consecutive cycles without missing a single November contest. Municipal elections, midterm elections, presidential elections — they’ve done it all.
PA Local spoke to more than a dozen of Pennsylvania’s Hall of Fame voters from geographically and politically diverse corners of the state.
A number declined to be named in this piece. Almost all of them — members of the Silent Generation — were supremely matter-of-fact when discussing their accomplishments.
“I see here that you voted in 50 straight November elections…” I said to one on the other end of a scratchy landline connection. Their response was immediate: “Yes… and?”
Some started casting ballots when the voting age was still 21. Others began around the time of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, which protected the right for millions of disenfranchised Black people nationwide.
There were common threads in their responses to the question “Why has your voting record stayed so flawless?” They said voting was a responsibility and a right, or, at a minimum, a means of preserving your standing to complain if you don’t like an outcome. (The issues motivating their votes this year are less uniform.)
Betty Ann Nichols, 91, of Allegheny County grew up in a bipartisan household — one parent a Democrat, the other a Republican. “But they hardly ever went to vote,” she recalled. Nichols, a longtime poll worker and Hall of Fame voter (class of 2004), took the opposite approach.
In Philadelphia, Hall of Famer Barry Lebowitz (class of 2017), who came of age as a voter in the Vietnam War Era, recounted several mad dashes to the polls on Election Day and several near misses.
”But I always made it,” he added nonchalantly. “They were always open until 8.”
May Boland, 86, also of Philly and the class of ‘17, said she uses her Hall of Fame status to proselytize now: “I encourage my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to vote.”
Husband and wife Shirley Bentzel, 84, and Glenn Bentzel, 86, of Gettysburg, were inducted in 2012 and have kept the streak going, only now they do so by mail.
“I will continue to vote as long as I can,” Shirley added.
Most of the Hall of Famers who spoke with PA Local said they didn’t apply for the recognition themselves (but you can). Instead, they were nominated by state representatives, fellow election workers, or fellow members of a local political party committee.
(The first members of the Voter Hall of Fame were inducted in 1982.)
Many reflected on the changes they’d seen over five-plus decades of voting: their own political affiliations, voting methods, the intensity of the political climate, and voting rules — The Inquirer reported that a 2012 update to Pennsylvania’s voter ID law threatened to keep one-quarter of all living Hall of Fame voters from casting ballots. The law was later struck down.
Other changes have been more concrete.
Douglas Boden, 86, of Gettysburg was inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside his wife, Eunice, in 2014. Eunice died in January of last year from Alzheimer’s disease.
“Of course I miss having her to vote with, of course I do,” Douglas said by phone. “When I go to the polls now, I never fail to think of her… very very much.”
“We were very proud,” he said of he and his wife’s Hall of Fame inductions, which are noted on a state-issued certificate that he keeps displayed in the study of their home.
“As you go through life, you do the things you need to do and want to do and have to do, and you don’t think much of it. Then sometimes it catches up with you and you say ‘My goodness, we didn’t miss any [November elections].’ And we looked back and were happy it worked out that way.”
Boden, who has never missed a primary either, jokes that he’s a “Hall of Famer on steroids.”
Asked if there’s an election in his decades-long voting career that stands out, he only goes a few years back to the presidential contests of 2016 and 2020.
Elections have always been rancorous, he said, but the contemporary tone and fallout are increasingly unrecognizable to him.
”You used to have an election and afterward the contestants were cooperative, in most cases. I see that being eroded now.”
He’s looking to future Hall of Famers to carry the mantle and “vote their conscience.”

HONOLULU (KITV4) -- A Nevada man charged in connection with a 50-year-old cold case murder out of Waikiki was indicted by an Oahu grand jury on Friday.
Tudor Chirila, 77, was arrested in Reno, Nevada on Sept. 13 after DNA evidence linked him to the January 1971 murder of 19-year-old Nancy Anderson.
Anderson was found dead by her roommate in their Waikiki apartment, located at 2222 Aloha Drive, on Jan. 7, 1972. Investigators say she had been stabbed multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
At the time of the incident, HPD homicide detectives could not develop any viable leads and the case went cold. That is until Sept. 12, 2022, when Chirila was identified by DNA evidence using the services of Parabon Nanolabs, investigators said.
Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Steve Alm released a statement following Chirila’s indictment where he praised the Honolulu Police Department’s efforts to continue investigating the decades-old cold case.
“I thank the HPD detectives and DNA analysts assigned to this case for their diligence and professionalism. Their dogged persistence and use of new technologies has brought this formerly cold case closer to a resolution. I would also like to thank the experts at Parabon Nanolabs, whose expertise provided the lead that solved this case,” Alm said.
Chirila is being held in the Washoe County Jail without bail while he awaits extradition back to Hawaii. He is, however, fighting the extradition order, saying his constitutional rights were violated during his arrest.
Chirila once served as a deputy attorney general in Nevada and even ran for the Nevada Supreme Court.
The Anderson family released the following statement to the Prosecuting Attorney’s Department:
"As the family of Nancy Anderson, we’d like to thank the numerous dedicated law enforcement and other agencies who have worked diligent over the past half-century to solve her case.
Despite the many hurdles, we (Nancy’s nine siblings) never gave up hope that justice would be served. We always had strong faith that all things would be resolved in God’s time. Our family asks that you respect our privacy at this time.”

McDonald's is preparing to defend itself in a $10 billion racial discrimination lawsuit filed by media mogul Byron Allen and his company Allen Media Group.
A federal court gave the go-ahead for Allen and his company to attempt to prove in court that the fast-food giant violated civil rights laws by allegedly relegating his TV networks to an "African American tier" with a smaller advertising budget, according to a press release from Allen.
Allen claims that only a small portion (around $5 million) of McDonald's annual $1.6 billion ad budget is allocated to Black-owned media companies. He says McDonald's has "refused to advertise" on his networks.
Allen's company owns networks including The Weather Channel and Comedy.TV.
Allen said, “This is about economic inclusion of African American-owned businesses in the US economy.” He said, “McDonald’s takes billions from African American consumers and gives almost nothing back. The biggest trade deficit in America is the trade deficit between White corporate America and Black America, and McDonald’s is guilty of perpetuating this disparity.”
Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who is representing McDonald's in the case, said that the evidence will show that McDonald's does not discriminate and calls Allen's claims "meritless."
Lynch said, “Their complaint is about revenue, not race, and plaintiffs’ groundless allegations ignore both McDonald’s legitimate business reasons for not investing more on their channels and the company’s long-standing business relationships with many other diverse-owned partners.”
A former Obama-era Attorney General, Lynch is now working in private practice with the law firm Paul Weiss.

WASHINGTON (AP) — World Bank President David Malpass said Friday he won't resign after coming under criticism for his remarks earlier this week regarding climate change.
At an event sponsored by The New York Times on Tuesday, Malpass wouldn't answer directly when asked whether the burning of fossil fuels has contributed to global warming. Instead, he said, "I am not a scientist."
In an interview with Politico Friday, Malpass said he wouldn't resign, and that he hasn't been asked to do so by any of the bank's member governments. He acknowledged he should have done a better job responding to questions on Tuesday, when he was asked to respond to a charge earlier that day from former Vice President Al Gore that he was a "climate denier."
"When asked, 'Are you a climate denier?' I should have said no," he said.
Malpass also said the World Bank is taking a "forceful leadership" position on climate issues.
"It's clear that greenhouse gas emissions from human activity are causing climate change," Malpass said in the Friday interview. "So the task for us, for the world, is to pull together the projects and the funding that actually has an impact."
Malpass was nominated to the position by former President Donald Trump in 2019, under the longstanding tradition that allows the U.S. to choose the head of the World Bank and European governments to pick the head of the International Monetary Fund. His five-year term ends in April 2024.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday that the Biden administration disagrees with Malpass' comments suggesting climate change is not caused by human activity.
Jean-Pierre did not say whether the administration would seek to remove Malpass, as that would require the approval of other World Bank members.
The Treasury Department "will hold Malpass accountable," Jean-Pierre said, "and support the many staff working to fight climate change at the World Bank. But again, removal would require a majority of stakeholders."
Environmentalists have urged that Malpass be pushed out if necessary.
"Climate denialism has no place in a world where millions of people are suffering from the ravages of this crisis," said Johanna Chao Kreilick, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists. "Malpass should be replaced immediately."

On September 23, 2022, a jury unanimously found Trinity Coleman, 39, of Franklin, guilty of second degree murder after a multi-day trial.
Officials say the conviction comes from the September 2019 shooting that claimed the life of Chiquita Lumpkin.
Lumpkin had been involved with Coleman in a long-term relationship, and on September 2, 2019, Coleman armed himself with an AR-15 style rifle and shot Lumpkin more than twenty times.
The incident occurred outside a home in Franklin owned by Lumpkin. The rifle was recovered and had "problem solva" written on it.
Franklin murder victim remembered by family
Coleman's identity was released following the high speed chase he provoked through multiple Parishes via I-10 near Crowley and apprehended near Welsh. Charges involving that specific incident are pending in Jefferson Davis Parish.
According to State Police, the defendant fled resulting in the pursuit that lasted approximately 57 minutes and led to a 2 ½ hour standoff between Coleman and authorities.
The Franklin Police Department arrested and booked on one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder on September 18, 2022.
More information on the initial incident can be found on our website by clicking the headline below:
UPDATE: Suspect in high-speed chase, Franklin homicide identified
Coleman's sentencing is set before the honorable Lewis Pitman, Jr. on November 2, 2022 at 9:00 a.m.
Second Degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.
Assistant District Attorneys Brady Holtzclaw and Jennifer Reasoner prosecuted the case with the assistance and support of Craig Colwart and Katie Williams. The case was investigated by the Franklin Police Department and scientific analysis performed by the Louisiana State Police Criminalistics Laboratory.

New Mexico (2-1) vs LSU (2-1)
Kickoff: 6:30 p.m.
TV: SEC Network+
Radio: LSU Sports Radio Network
LSU (2-1) looks to keep the momentum going at home for the third straight week as they play host to New Mexico (2-1) on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.
Kickoff is set for 6:32 p.m. on SEC Network+ and the LSU Sports Radio Network.
It will be the first-ever meeting between the Tigers and Lobos, marking the second time in four weeks LSU has played an opponent for the first time in history.
Riding a two-game winning streak after defeating SEC West foe Mississippi State to open conference play, head coach Brian Kelly wants to use the victory as a springboard. There’s no settling in sight, just laser focus, attention to detail, and consistency in preparation with the intent to build on the success of last weekend.
“Now we have to look toward persistence and consistency,” Kelly said. “That means coming back after a good win and putting together a complete performance. Our expectations and standards are that we have a great week of preparation.”
Malik Nabers has personified perseverance since Week 1. The sophomore receiver couldn’t be stopped in the Tigers’ second-half comeback with six receptions for 76 yards, including a key 4th-and-3 conversion to help Daniels and the offense extend the lead with a late touchdown.
“He’s been able to focus, refocus and move on to the next play,” Kelly said of Nabers. “That’s a great quality to have. You’re going to have some adversity – he’s had it, dealt with it, and he’s stronger for it. He’s been really good.”
Kayshon Boutte will not be with the team this weekend, Kelly announced, following the birth of his son on Thursday night.
LSU’s defense, led by Matt House, posted a complete effort against Mississippi State last Saturday, accounting for eight tackles for loss, four sacks, three fourth-down stops, and just 289 yards allowed.
Jay Ward earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week after recording a team-high 11 tackles, 1.5 for loss, with one pass breakup and one interception. BJ Ojulari earned Defensive Lineman of the Week against the Bulldogs, tallying 2.5 tackles for loss, two QB hurries, and 1.5 sacks.
“Moving Jay (Ward) down has obviously benefited us greatly,” Kelly said. “Greg (Brooks) going back to the safety position added a communication level that’s benefited us. We’re mixing things up. Schematically, we’re where we need to be.”
Quarterback Jayden Daniels showed a ton of grit in the second half against Mississippi State, finishing 22-for-37 for 210 yards passing with one touchdown, also recording 100 yards and two touchdowns with his legs.
He made big plays when they needed them the most, leading the offense to score 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to seal a big victory.
“I love coaching somebody that is open to the dialogue during the game,” Kelly said. “You can have conversations with him during the game and he can make the corrections. Some can’t.”
Armoni Goodwin added a potent threat to LSU’s rushing attack, recording 75 yards on nine carries with a score.
New Mexico is led by senior quarterback Miles Kendrick, who has thrown for 379 yards through the air with three touchdown passes. Running backs Sherod White and Nathaniel Jones have rushed for 101 yards and 95 yards with three touchdowns and one touchdown, respectively. Geordon Porter leads the Lobos with 140 yards receiving and two touchdowns through three games.
Through four weeks, these Tigers have proven they will fight all the way. Playing your best when adversity knocks is a good quality to have.
Another opportunity knocks on Saturday, with another opportunity to fight for LSU under the lights in Death Valley.
“There’s one thing I know about this group for certain: they’re fighters,” Kelly said.

DART: Everything you need to know about NASA’s mission to deflect an asteroid
On 27 September the space agency will deliberately crash a spacecraft into an asteroid as part of its planetary defence programme.
NASA says its DART spacecraft is on track to crash into an asteroid in the coming days. Speaking at a media briefing held at NASA Headquarters in Washington, the team behind the mission confirmed that all was going according to plan ahead of the impact, which is scheduled for just after midnight BST on 27 September. Here's everything you need to know about the mission.
What is the aim of the DART mission?
DART, or Double Asteroid Redirection Test, is the first ever mission to attempt to redirect the path of an asteroid by crashing a spacecraft into it.
The mission is part of NASA’s planetary defence strategy and aims to build on our ability to model, predict and prepare for an asteroid that might provide a threat to Earth, should one be discovered.
It was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on 23 November 2021 and is scheduled to make impact on 27 September 2022.
“It's essentially a big science experiment to see if crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid is a good way to change its orbit around the Sun and potentially deflect an Earth-crossing asteroid away in the future should that happen, or rather when that happens,” said cosmochemist and author of Meteorite Dr Tim Gregory.
“It sounds impossible that something as lightweight as a spacecraft, even a spacecraft like DART, which weighs more than half a tonne, could possibly nudge something like an asteroid, which weighs millions of tonnes. But you don't need to nudge an asteroid by very much for it to miss the Earth entirely. Just fractions of a degree, and you'll miss the Earth by millions of miles.”
What asteroid will DART crash into?
DART’s target is a binary asteroid system made up of a larger asteroid named Didymos, which is Greek for ‘twin’, and a smaller companion asteroid named Dimorphos, which is Greek for ‘two forms', that orbits it roughly every 12 hours. Didymos is around 780m across and Dimorphos is around 160m across.
“It's important to stress that this particular asteroid system doesn't pose a threat to the Earth. It was merely just chosen as a target for this science experiment, and it was chosen from a few different candidates based on its orbit around the Sun,” said Gregory.
More like this
The spacecraft is going to target Dimorphos when it is around 11km from Earth. At the moment of impact, it is estimated to be travelling at around 6.6km/s.
What's on board DART?
DART was designed and built by teams at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Maryland, USA. The main structure is a cube roughly 1m across fitted with large, flexible solar arrays on opposite sides that stretch out around 8m each. It has a mass of around 610kg.
It is powered by NEXT–C, NASA's Evolutionary Xenon Thruster–Commercial, an solar-powered ion propulsion system that produces thrust using xenon as fuel.
On board is a high resolution camera DRACO, or Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation. As well as being used to support navigation, the camera will also be used to measure the size and shape of the asteroid target to investigate the geology of the impact site. The images acquired by DRACO before the kinetic impact will be streamed back to Earth in real time.
In the final four hours before impact the SMART Nav, or Small-body Maneuvering Autonomous Real Time Navigation, will work alongside DRACO to autonomously maneuver the spacecraft into position for impact.
The spacecraft is also carrying a companion CubeSat named LICIACube (Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging of Asteroids) that was designed by the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI). LICIACube was deployed on 11 September during the spacecraft's approach to Dimorphos and will capture images of the impact.
How can I watch DART crash into the asteroid?
If all goes to plan, DART will crash into Dimorphos at 00.14 BST on 27 September. NASA will be live streaming the event beginning at 23.00 BST on 26 September on NASA TV and YouTube.
What will happen after the collision?
Following the impact, the DART investigation team will compare the results of the spacecraft's collision with Dimorphos via observations with ground-based telescopes with sophisticated computer simulations that they have already ran. This way they will be able to assess the efficacy of the kinetic impact and figure out the most effective way to employ it should any future planetary defence scenarios arise.
“The nature of doing any sort of science is sometimes you just don't know what's going to happen," said Gregory.
"And with this mission being the first of its kind, I think the margin for success is very wide. And I guess, to paraphrase the Apollo astronauts, hopefully it will be a success, but it might be a very successful failure.”

Now, it’s the centerpiece of an ofrenda she created in his honor at the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
“He died, I was holding his hand. I was caring for him in the last months of his life. Definitely a hero for me, and, you know, big shoes to fill,” Margaret said during an interview with Fox 17 on Friday. “I wanted this ofrenda to show the many dimensions of a man that was bilingual and bicultural, and dealt with those difficulties, those obstacles and tried to help others.”
It’s called Borrowed Light: Homage to My Father: Francísco Míguel Nava Vega Lopez Tapía.
Who was Francisco Vega:
— Lauren Edwards (@LaurenEdwardsTV) September 23, 2022
📌 Fought for civil rights alongside Cesar Chavez
📌 Advised presidents from Kennedy to Bush Sr. on issues impacting Latinos
📌 Co-organized the 1st Hispanic fest/parade in GR in 1968
His daughter created an ofrenda in his honor at @GRMuseum // @FOX17 pic.twitter.com/4oE4ZiBAI9
The ofrenda, which is an altar created for deceased loved ones during the beloved Mexican holiday Día De Los Muertos, includes over a dozen photographs, candles, fruit, flowers, military medals, and other mementos.
Margaret said it took her five months to create, digging through 30 boxes in order to put it all together.
“My favorite part probably,” Margaret said before taking a brief pause. “I don’t know, the orange trees perhaps because he always had orange trees and he loved the fragrance. He was a man that appreciated everything.”
Francísco passed away at 99 years old, but Margaret affectionately says “100. He always liked to round up.”
One of things he valued most in his long life, she said, was advocating for civil rights for Latinos.
“He fought for civil rights alongside Cesar Chavez,” Margaret said. “He worked with three or four presidents in Washington D.C., and created the first National Scholarship Association for Latino Students.”
According to his biography, which is printed on the wall near the ofrenda, he often traveled to D.C. and advised Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and George Bush senior on issues impacting the Latino community.
Pictures of him and the presidents, and letters from them are also a part of the exhibit.
“He was interested in bilingual education before people even knew what that was,” Margaret said. “He fought for the right to vote and for Latin American people to really have a voice.”
She said her dad was so passionate about equal rights and civil rights because he saw the absence of it everyday life. He also experienced it firsthand when he wasn’t admitted into the service in WWII because they weren’t taking Mexican Americans.
“He was a man of awareness and a very just person,” Margaret said. “He really felt that he was educated and it was his responsibility to bring these issues forward. You know, he was a fighter in a very dignified way.”
Francísco was born in San Antonio, Texas and spent time going to school in Mexico and in the U.S. He later enlisted in the U.S. Army. And according to his bio he “was promoted into an elite team as a decoder for typing for his typing speed.”
Mementos from his time in the military are sprinkled throughout the ofrenda, alongside pictures of his wife whom he was married to for 75 years.
Margaret hopes that everyone who sees the ofrenda thinks of the borrowed lights and their lives, as her father was a light to her.
“He was my mentor and my friend as well as my father,” Margaret said. “Some of his words to me were ‘make sure when you’re gone there’s a whole there that says that you were here at all.’ And, I think he lived life that way.”

Twin City Coolant’S MULTIRAPID ULC TEOIL\nSTACK, TROLL, ONS-69/OLOI-64\nE. OLson 8/S-Q8 (6.2L) ,\n9285, Oil Battery ABS HC0 CN(N9(UCL4QC STACK HQ6) L2OE L68 America's two largest reservoirs are in trouble. The Colorado River feeds Lake Powell, and Lake Mead, and both are at near-record lows, which is threatening the water and power supply for tens of millions of Americans.
"Between 2 and 4 million acre-feet of additional conservation is needed just to protect critical levels in 2023," Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton said.
The two-decade-long mega-drought is drying out the west.
"Less of the precipitation that feeds the river makes it into the river," water policy researcher Jeff Lukas said.
You don't have to tell Robert Gripentog. His family has owned the Las Vegas Boat Harbor since the 1950s.
"It costs us a lot of money because we have to chase the water down," he said. "We have to move the marina."
He's stayed open as the water levels have dropped more than 40 feet in just the last two years, and he's lost about 40% of his business.

"We need to come up considerably from where we're at right now," Gripentog continued.
In July, Lake Mead hit its lowest level since it was created — just 1,040 feet.
There was some short-term good news this summer, though. A strong monsoon season in the southwest pushed the depth up four feet. However, that doesn't come close to solving the problem.
As the water keeps dropping yearly, there's less drinking and irrigation water for 40 million people across the region. And there are concerns about the two dams' production of hydroelectric power.
When the water drops below 950 feet, the massive Hoover Dam can't generate more power. But it doesn't have to get that low to cause problems. Its power output is already down 36% due to the current water level, and there's a chance it could drop too low to make power in the next three years.
The Glen Canyon Dam on Lake Powell is facing the same problem. The Bureau of Reclamation expects it to be just 32 feet above the minimum pool power level by January 1. There's a 10% chance it could drop below the cut-off level by next year and a 30% chance by 2024.
The Hoover Dam powers the lives of more than 1.3 million people, and more than half the power goes to Southern California.

Jim McCarthy is the president of the Electric Vehicle Association of Southern California.
"We need to realize we're going to have less hydropower, at least in the near term," he said.
The state is home to almost half of all-electric cars in the country.
The heat wave earlier this month threatened the state's power grid. Officials asked electric car owners not to recharge their EVs.
If the state loses the Hoover Dam's hydropower, the drive for consistent, clean energy to support clean energy cars becomes less clear.
"If we lose a lot of hydropower, it will be a problem," McCarthy continued. "We need to upgrade now. But if you drive an EV, at least you can power on your own."
The group responsible for grid integrity says the western grid is at risk of an energy emergency because of falling hydro-power levels.
Last fall, the drought dried up Lake Orville in Northern California, forcing that hydro plant to shut down for the first time since the 1960s.
Hydropower is the "black-start" power used to jump-start the country's power grid after blackouts.
The Department of Energy says hydro is critical to grid reliability because it consistently flows, except when it doesn't.

To become known as much. If I can find some books then fine but this should make them not only be known but read because only writing down an equation cannot attract anyone but the formula can become famous if it's taught across all class\nHonored the title says this a book from Theories can have all formulas, solutions equations ect if no problems that may get people knowing or attract me i'd try\nIn short write book on the concept if I cannot create then it BANGKOK (AP) — A model from Myanmar who denounced her country's military rulers last year from the stage of a beauty pageant in Thailand said Friday she fears she may be forced back home.
Thaw Nandar Aung, also known as Han Lay, told The Associated Press by phone that she has been stuck at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport since being denied reentry to Thailand when she arrived Wednesday night from a short trip to Vietnam. She has been living in Thailand but needed to exit and reenter in order to extend her stay.
She said she met Friday with representatives of the United Nations refugee agency in an effort to avoid being sent back to Myanmar, where she fears harsh punishment from the military government she has criticized.
People denied entry to Thailand are usually deported to their last point of departure, but the U.N. agency advised her she would be arrested in Vietnam and then repatriated to Myanmar.
Thai Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tanee Sangrat confirmed in a text message that Thaw Nandar Aung was denied entry into Thailand "due to an issue with her travel document."
"The relevant authorities did not make an arrest and have no plans to send her anywhere at this stage," he said.
Myanmar's military seized power in February 2021 from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi and has cracked down heavily on widespread opposition to its rule. It used lethal force to quash demonstrations and has arrested critics, including actors and other celebrities, under various laws with potential penalties ranging from three years' imprisonment to death. In July, authorities executed four activists who were accused of involvement with terrorist activities.
Thaw Nandar Aung said she was charged in absentia in September last year under a section of Myanmar's Penal Code covering sedition for speaking out against the military takeover at the pageant and online. The statute criminalize attempts to "bring into hatred or contempt, or excite or attempt to excite disaffection towards the government," and the military or its personnel, and carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
She said that on arrival in Bangkok, Thai immigration authorities entered her name in their online database and then asked her if she had reported her passport missing in Vietnam, to which she replied "no." She said they then showed her a screen they said indicated there was an Interpol Red Notice out for her, which means the police force of a member country had asked for her to be detained.
It could not be immediately confirmed whether Interpol has posted such a notice. However, Myanmar's military government has unilaterally revoked many of its leading opponents' passports in an effort to restrict their activities.
On Thursday night, Thai police told her that Myanmar police had come to see her, but she declined to meet them, Thaw Nandar Aung said.
Thaw Nandar Aung used her platform as the Myanmar contestant at last year's Miss Grand International beauty pageant in the Thai capital, Bangkok, to speak about the killings of pro-democracy protesters in her homeland.
"Every citizen of the world wants the prosperity of their country and the peaceful environment," she said. "In doing so, the leaders involved should not use their power and selfishness."
"Today in my country, Myanmar, while I am going to be on this stage, there are so many people dying, more than 100 people died today. I am deeply be sorry for all the people who have lost their lives," she said, pausing frequently to fight back tears.
She added: "I want to say for here that, please help Myanmar. We need your urgent international help right now."
Thaw Nandar Aung said she was optimistic after meeting Friday with representatives of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees' office that she would not be sent back to Myanmar. She said they told her they were working as quickly as possible to find her a country she could go to for asylum, possibly in a few days.
Meanwhile, she must stay in a room in the departure section of the international area of the airport, with guards provided by the Thai government, she said.

Next Open House will Highlight Zero Percent Financing for 48 Months
MAHWAH, N.J., Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark will host several open house events this fall to help Catholics gain knowledge and confidence before a difficult time arises. The timing is apropos given the state of the economy and each family's need to protect their heritage.
"A time of loss is a time of confusion, and final arrangements do not have to add to the uncertainty," says Andrew P. Schafer, Executive Director of the Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. "The worries of last-minute burial arrangements should not become part of a family's grieving process, especially when experiencing profound sorrow. We reach out regularly to families to inform them about the valuable benefits of preplanning."
Open house weekend will take place Saturday, October 1, and Sunday, October 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the award-winning Maryrest Cemetery and Mausoleum in Mahwah, NJ, in the northwest region of Bergen County, a short distance from the New York state line.
After witnessing the 18-foot bronze statue of Mary at the cemetery entrance, guests can tour the Maryrest Chapel Mausoleum, featuring marble crypts, glass and marble cremation niches, and an Easter-inspired stained-glass window and altar.
Maryrest Cemetery also features New Jersey's first Catholic Natural/Green Burial Section. The wildflowers and naturally occurring flora create a peaceful and serene setting for families who prefer an eco-friendly memorial or an alternative to cremation.
Memorial planning advisors will meet with visitors to share information about burial and cremation options, memorialization, and financial planning options, including 0% financing for 48 months.
Maryrest Cemetery is located at 770 Darlington Avenue, Mahwah, NJ. For more information, stop by or send an email to cemetery@rcan.org. To learn more, watch the video at www.MaryrestCemetery.org.
Catholic Cemeteries assist individuals and families before, during, and after losing a loved one. They also provide Monthly Masses of Remembrance celebrated at archdiocesan Catholic cemeteries throughout the year, typically during the first week of each month and on special days. Contact a caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisor at cemetery@rcan.org or learn more at www.CatholicJourney.org.

Grants for Doctoral Students Remain Available
Some programs may be ending, but Mellon and ACLS still support dissertation work and early-career scholars.
To the Editors:
Colleen Flaherty’s September 20, 2022, article, “Ford Foundation Ends Fellowship Program”, on the sunsetting of the Ford Foundation Fellowship Program, presented important context about this long-running program’s effectiveness in diversifying the ranks of PhD-level scholars in higher education and the increasing challenges to funding this work.
Flaherty rightly highlights the need for new thinking and action in terms of funding models while recognizing the potential of scholars and scholarship to promote positive social transformation.
Her depiction of the ending of the Mellon-funded, American Council of Learned Societies-administered Dissertation Completion Fellowship program, however, overlooks the support Mellon and ACLS continue to provide doctoral students and early-career scholars, including those representing diverse backgrounds, fields of study, and institutions in the humanities and interpretive social sciences.
For sixteen years (2006-2022) the Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellowship program provided more than 1,000 doctoral students with resources and a support network designed to help them complete their dissertations by giving them time to focus solely on their research, freed from mounting teaching and administrative responsibilities. We are proud of the accomplishments of this program, which has provided important lessons and insights that we have applied to our ongoing commitment to diversifying the academy and supporting scholars who have traditionally been underserved by it.
ACLS is also excited to continue our partnership with Mellon. Earlier this year we introduced the Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation program, which especially welcomes applications from PhD candidates whose perspectives and/or research projects cultivate greater openness to new sources of knowledge, innovation in scholarly communication, and, above all, responsiveness to the interests and histories of people of color and other historically marginalized communities. The program aims to reward doctoral students demonstrating promise of leading their fields in important new directions. Providing an early-stage intervention at the formative stage of the development of the dissertation, before writing is far advanced, the program will enable fellows to develop innovative approaches to dissertation research—publicly engaged, trans- or interdisciplinary, collaborative, critical, or methodological. They will join a peer network of like-minded scholars and receive expert mentoring and professional development.
News of the discontinuation of long-standing resources for doctoral students will disappoint many, as there is no shortage of need for support, in particular among communities of color who have long been marginalized in higher education. At the same time, we look forward to offering ACLS fellowship and grant programs intended to usher in what we see as a new academy that welcomes a more diverse professoriate and a wide range of fields of study and approaches to scholarship—key elements to the continued advancement of humanistic knowledge.

President

Sarah Shorter started out looking to run for Platte County commissioner, but when they realized there already was a qualified candidate in that race, they turned their attention to the Missouri Senate.
The self-described queer, disabled millennial is open about dealing with mental and physical health issues. "I have gone through a lot of things that a lot of people go through," Shorter said, adding that makes them a candidate who understands "what life is like for everyday Missourians."
A 2020 graduate of the University of Kansas, Shorter shared their stance on public education, taxes, healthcare and censorship.
The Republican candidate, incumbent Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer (R-Parkville), also was invited to participate in this interview. He did not reply by the deadline.
- Sarah Shorter (D), candidate for the Missouri Senate, District 34

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona can enforce a near-total ban on abortions that has been blocked for nearly 50 years, a judge ruled Friday, meaning clinics statewide will have to stop providing the procedures to avoid the filing of criminal charges against doctors and other medical workers.
The judge lifted a decades-old injunction that has long blocked enforcement of the law on the books since before Arizona became a state that bans nearly all abortions. The only exemption is if the woman’s life is in jeopardy.
The ruling means people seeking abortions will have to go to another state to obtain one. An appeal of the ruling is likely.
The decision from Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson came more than a month after she heard arguments on Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s request to lift the injunction. It had been in place since shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in the Roe v. Wade case, which held women had a constitutional right to abortion.
The near-total abortion ban was enacted decades before Arizona was granted statehood in 1912. Prosecutions were halted after the injunction was handed down following the Roe decision. Even so, the Legislature reenacted the law several times, most recently in 1977.
Assistant Attorney General Beau Roysden told Johnson at an Aug. 19 hearing that since Roe has been overturned, the sole reason for the injunction blocking the old law is gone and she should allow it to be enforced. Under that law, anyone who performs a surgical abortion or provides drugs for a medication abortion can face two to five years in prison.
An attorney for Planned Parenthood and its Arizona affiliate argued that allowing the pre-statehood ban to be enforced would render a host of more recent laws regulating abortion meaningless. Instead, she urged the judge to let licensed doctors perform abortions and have the old ban only apply to unlicensed practitioners.
The judge sided with Brnovich, saying that because the injunction was filed in 1973 only because of the Roe decision, it must be lifted it in its entirety.
“The Court finds an attempt to reconcile fifty years of legislative activity procedurally improper in the context of the motion and record before it,” Johnson wrote. “While there may be legal questions the parties seek to resolve regarding Arizona statutes on abortion, those questions are not for this Court to decide here.”
In overturning Roe on June 24, the high court said states can regulate abortion as they wish.
“We applaud the court for upholding the will of the legislature and providing clarity and uniformity on this important issue," Brnovich said in a statement. "I have and will continue to protect the most vulnerable Arizonans.”
A physician who runs a clinic that provides abortions said she was dismayed but not surprised by the decision.
"It kind of goes with what I’ve been saying for a while now –- it is the intent of the people who run this state that abortion be illegal here,” Dr. DeShawn Taylor said. “Of course we want to hold onto hope in the back of our minds, but in the front of my mind I have been preparing the entire time for the total ban.”
Abortion providers have been on a roller coaster since Roe was overturned, first shutting operations, the re-opening, and now having to again close them.
Johnson, the judge, said Planned Parenthood was free to file a new challenge. But with Arizona's tough abortion laws and all seven Supreme Court justices appointed by Republicans, the chances of success appear slim.
What’s allowed in each state has shifted as legislatures and courts have acted. Before Friday's ruling, bans on abortion at any point in pregnancy are in place in 12 Republican-led states,
In another state, Wisconsin, clinics have stopped providing abortions amid litigation over whether an 1849 ban is in effect. Georgia bans abortions once fetal cardiac activity and be detected and Florida and Utah have bans that kick in after 15 and 18 weeks gestation, respectively.
The ruling came a day before a new Arizona law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy takes effect. The law passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey in March was enacted in hopes that the U.S. Supreme Court would pare back limits on abortion regulations. It mirrored a Mississippi law that the high court was considering at the time that cut about nine weeks off the previous threshold.
Ducey has argued that the new law he signed takes precedence over the pre-statehood law, but he did not send his attorneys to argue that before Johnson.
The old law was first enacted as part of the set of laws known as the “Howell Code” adopted by 1st Arizona Territorial Legislature in 1864.
