The dollar is king with the EURUSD trading to the lowest level since 2002. The GBPUSD traded to the lowet level since 1985. The AUDUSD, NZDUSD and the NZDUSD traded to the lowest level since the 2020 pandemic plunge. Even the USDCHF rallied despite the 75 basis point hike. The USDJPY rebounded Friday and is back at neutral short term technical levels even after a BOJ intervention this week.
The trend to the upside in the USD is strong but corrections can be brutal. So I look at the technicals that might take some of the tarnish off the greenback in the new trading week. It is important to know the trend, but it is important to know the enemy as well. The enemy is a technical bounce.
The pairs I look at technically in the video, and the start times for each:
- EURUSD 8:55
- GBPUSD 12:22
- USDJPY 15:30
- USDCHF 18:00
- USDCAD 20:00
- AUDUSD 22:11
- NZDUSD 24:22

IRVINE — Ducks forward Max Jones was one committed lobbyist in training camp.
“He’s already grabbed me numerous times – asking, begging, prodding – to get in the lineup as fast as possible,” Ducks coach Dallas Eakins was saying on Saturday at Great Park Ice.
Jones’s powers of persuasion worked. More than 11 months after suffering a torn chest muscle – in the Ducks’ third game of last season, at Calgary – Jones will be playing in a game again, set to take the ice Sunday afternoon in a preseason contest against the Arizona Coyotes in Tucson, Ariz.
It will be a young and largely untested roster for the Ducks, including two first-round draft choices in 2022: defenseman Pavel Mintyukov and forward Nathan Gaucher, and second-rounders, defensemen Noah Warren and Tristian Luneau.
“I really love watching our young draft picks,” Eakins said. “It’s usually a game where you’ve got younger guys in there. It’s their first game. They’re excited. It’s awesome.
“It’s a good game for us coaches because we haven’t been standing behind a bench in a long time. You start getting back on the bicycle and start pedaling a little bit. Is there a massive evaluation on our NHL guys? There’s a little bit. But it’s more focused on our young guys and how they’re doing with an uptick in pace.”
The players with the most NHL experience in the lineup happened to be two in camp on a PTO – defenseman Nathan Beaulieu (419 games) and right wing Rocco Grimaldi (203). Anaheim’s goalies on the roster for the preseason game are Lukas Dostal and Olle Eriksson Ek.
Jones, 24, has appeared in 137 NHL games, all with the Ducks. The tension associated with his long injury layoff and rehabilitation lifted when he drove to the rink on Thursday for the opening of camp.
“It was the best day,” Jones said. “Day 1 of camp was great. I remember waking up that morning. All the stress I had leading up – the whole time being injured and coming into camp – was gone. I didn’t feel any anxiety or stress or anything: ‘Wow, it’s here and I’m back.’ And I get to play and compete.
“I just remember driving with the windows down that morning and coming to the rink. It was a great day.
“You’ve got to love everything you do. I learned to see the positives of getting hurt. The one thing was to never take your time at the rink for granted. Every day is a good day no matter how you feel.
“I may be sore. I may be tired. But it sure as hell is a lot better than sitting at home.”
Jones said his girlfriend, family, and teammates helped him get through the tough times.
“It was not easy,” he said. “I’ve never had something like that before. Mental strength and mental illness is a real thing. It’s very real. I struggled with it. I did.
“The guys asked if I could go on a trip with them at the end of the (season). I love these guys. These guys are my best friends. I would do anything for these guys. They cared for me last year and I’ll go through a brick wall for any one of these guys in the room.”
Now Jones can reach back and call upon that mental strength when he faces the next hurdles.
“This is going to be an interesting time for him being out that long,” Eakins said. “But he’s clearly focused, excited, and extremely fit. He looks very ready to go.
“A lot of times when you’re in the adversity, it (stinks). It’s not fun. But when you get on the other side of it, I’m quite glad that it was hard for him. The adversity was a huge challenge because now he’s calloused his brain a little bit. So whatever next bit of adversity – and it will come in whatever form – he’ll already have better tools to deal with it.”

BOULDER, Colo. — Laiatu Latu thought his career was over after a neck injury sidelined him for two years. The linebacker medically retired in December but made a comeback with a different team.
Now he’ll be going against his former team when UCLA hosts Washington on Friday night at the Rose Bowl.
Latu played eight games for Washington as a freshman in 2019 but a neck injury suffered on a hit during a practice cost him two seasons. He thought his playing days were over, but he has revived his career after transferring to the Bruins in the offseason.
He said he wants to treat Friday like any other game, but it will be tough with so many familiar faces on the other sideline.
“I know I came from there, but we want to win every game just as much and that’s how I’m looking at it” Latu said. “It’s going to be fun seeing them though. But I’m treating it like any other game.”
He also expects some back-and-forth through texts and social media before kickoff Friday night.
“They’ll probably say something, but knowing those guys it’s all love at the end of the day,” Latu said.
If Latu plays like he did in the 45-17 win at Colorado on Saturday, he could have an impact on the outcome. In just his third game in two years, he had three sacks and created havoc in the Buffaloes’ backfield.
“Just a gutty performance by him,” UCLA head coach Chip Kelly said. “He’s got such a work ethic, kind of just puts his head down and goes. It’s almost like the rust is shaken off of him. He’s starting to get a little bit more comfortable, a little bit more confident and playing with a little bit more poise.”
TOP CONDITIONING
The Bruins have outscored opponents 68-28 in the second half this year, including a 24-7 edge against Colorado on Saturday. Kelly credits the conditioning and attitude for the edge.
“It’s everything. There’s a mindset that we talk about all the time, how we feel, how we train, how we recover,” Kelly said. “We’re pretty dialed in in terms of how we do it, and I think it’s paid off.”
Kelly said the team ignored the fact it played at altitude, including the sign reminding teams of the elevation outside the visiting locker room.
“We cover it up so our players have no idea if we played at altitude or below sea level today,” Kelly said. “We’re not running cross country. Some people try to make a big deal out of that. But when you look at the physiological part of it, there isn’t really much of an effect.”
ZACH IS BACK
Zach Charbonnet’s three touchdowns and 104 yards on just nine carries were a good sign for the Bruins after a less productive couple of weeks. He rushed for 111 yards in the opener, missed the second game and had 78 yards and a fumble in last week’s win over South Alabama.
“I know he played last week, but the Zach you saw today is exactly who we’ve seen for a long time,” Kelly said.

Hendon Hooker threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 112 yards and a score to lead No. 11 Tennessee to a 38-33 victory over No. 20 Florida Saturday.
It was Tennessee’s second win over Florida in the last 18 meetings and snapped a six-game losing streak.
It’s the Volunteers’ first 4-0 start since 2016. Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) took control in the fourth quarter when it traveled 87 yards for a TD after a fumble by Gators (2-2, 0-2) quarterback Anthony Richardson.
Richardson threw for 453 yards and two scores and ran for 62 yards and two TDs.

The Alps, straddling Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, have no shortage of places that are likely already on your bucket list—the iconic Matterhorn, the legendary Black Forest, and the picture-perfect village of Hallstatt. There are many other sights that, even if not as well known, should be on your must-see list: the Philosopher’s Path in Heidelberg, the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, and the jaw-dropping castle at Kufstein. Perhaps the first step in planning a bucket-list itinerary to the Alps, however, is acceptance. You won’t be able to see it all, and you’re going to have to make some hard subjective choices among many alluring options. The good news, however, is that you pretty much can’t go wrong wherever you choose to travel.
The itinerary here starts in the old university town of Heidelberg, packed with intellectual history and culture, and ends in the Austrian lakeside town of Hallstatt, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its long history as a salt mining center that stretches back to the days of the Celts and Romans.
In between, you’ll pamper yourself with Black Forest spa treatments, discover the wonderfully walkable city of Lucerne, and admire the towering peaks around Zermatt. After visiting Innsbruck, the nearby Kufstein fortress town beckons. By the end of your trip, you are sure to have fallen under the spell of one of Europe’s most magical regions.
Itinerary / 7 Days
DAY 1Heidelberg
On the right bank of the Neckar, where the town meets the hills, the Heidelberg Suites’ historic luxury villa exudes a Florentine flavor in its design. If you want to opt instead for one of Germany’s classic grand hotels, the refined Europäischer Hof has been family run for generations and is located a short walk from the Old Town.
Before you embark on exploring Heidelberg, get a meal at the French-inflected restaurant Simplicissimus, now owned and run by the luxury Hotel Zum Ritter St. Georg, with its elegant interior and a courtyard for al fresco dining on summer days. Down by the river in a former grain mill, the Gasthaus zu Herrenmühle has a rustic ambiance though the dishes that emerge from the kitchen will satisfy even the most discriminating gourmet.
You’ll no doubt feel wiser after simply strolling the Philosophenweg, the hillside garden path where scholars once held forth as they also wandered along the same route. It is here that luminaries such as the poet Hölderlin once pondered what to write next. Between the town and the nearby Rhine, the summer Schwetzingen Palace and its Baroque gardens are like a mini Versailles.
Tip: What the Mozartkugel is to Salzburg, the Students’ Kiss is to Heidelberg. Make sure to order one at the famous Café Knösel.
DAY 2Black Forest
Head next to another university city, Freiburg, where the luxury Colombi Hotel is named for an old manor house at the edge of its old town. The family-run property has an indoor pool along with solarium and sauna facilities. With stunning views of the surrounding Black Forest hills and the town of Elzach down below, the Elztalhotel is a spa retreat with more than 5,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor pools.
In the Black Forest town of Baiersbronn you’ll find an impressive number of Michelin stars. The Schwarzwaldstube, in the hotel Traube Tonbach, is a three-star Michelin restaurant known for classic French cooking. The more casual Drexlers in Freiburg pairs its wines with market-fresh tasting menus.
The village of Schiltach sits 1,000 feet up in the Black Forest and if you’re tired of taking the waters, the Hirschgrund Zipline operations there might appeal instead. Another option for the afternoon is to head to the Dorotheenhütte in Wolfach for a tour of the glassworks and a visit to the glass museum.
Tip: Gin is probably not the first spirit you would associate with the Black Forest, but Monkey 47 produces what is arguably the world’s best. Make an appointment to take one of their distillery tours.
DAY 3Zermatt
The name alone reveals the vibe at the family-run Romantik Hotel Julen, a prototypical wood and balconied chalet house. Perched high above town, the Omnia Mountain Lodge is a modern take on a traditional hotel and covers all moods with fireplaces for snugness and terraces to take in the wide-open vistas.
Restaurant 1818 is only a few years old even if the building it is located in has been around for two centuries. Here you can dine on traditional Swiss fare such as charcoal grilled meats. The Cervo Mountain Boutique Resort is a modern chalet-style hotel where CERVO Puro serves hearty dishes perfect for refueling either during or after a day of hiking, biking, or sightseeing.
As far as hikes in this part of the Alps, the Gorner Gorge is a short, easy trek along wooden paths, with stunning waterfalls offering a satisfying payoff. With the Matterhorn ever in view, the Five Lakes Hike can include an optional dip in the chilly moraine lake waters.
Tip: A flock of cute, and Instagrammable, Valais Blacknose sheep greet visitors to the Julen family farm at the edge of town.
DAY 4Lucerne
Check into your hotel before heading out to explore the town. The grand Art Deco Hotel Montana Luzern recalls the heyday of luxury travel at the beginning of the 20th century. Whether you choose a lake or mountain view room, you can’t go wrong. Some ten miles away in the lakeside village of Beckenried, the intimate Boutique Hotel Schlüssel has only a dozen rooms in a house built in the early 1700s.
A Zunfthaus is an old guildhall, and in the Zunfthausrestaurant Pfistern facing the Chapel Bridge you dine below old wooden beams on traditional dishes. In the city’s Horw district, the Seehotel Sternen is a modestly sized hotel, but squeezes in several dining venues, including a terrace with lake views.
Sitting atop architect Jean Nouvel’s 1996 culture and exhibition center, the Culture and Convention Center Lucerne (KKL) is an art museum with a strong emphasis on historic Swiss landscape painting. Afterwards you can see some of the scenes that inspired the painters when you board a Lake Lucerne paddle steamer. A cruise to the opposite end of the lake and the small town of Flüelen, where the popular Gotthard Panorama Express starts, takes about three hours.
DAY 5Innsbruck
An old 1950s inn recently turned trendy, the Nala Hotel offers wonderful views of the mountains as well as the Stubai Alps. Another option, in the pedestrians-only area of the historic center, guests sleep snug in the modern urban rooms of the Hotel Weisses Rössl.
Laid back and unpretentious, Die Wilderin restaurant is known for its fresh, locally sourced ingredients. People travel a short way down the Inn River to the Swarovski Crystal World’s museum and gardens for seasonal gourmet cuisine and afternoon tea at Daniels Kristallwelten restaurant. Zaha Hadid’s other great Innsbruck contribution is her cool Bergisel ski jump tower where there’s a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows that serves traditional Austrian dishes like veal cutlets and kräuter spätzle, egg-noodle pasta flavored with herbs.
The city has two must-see iconic landmarks. The hilltop Ambras Castle has protected the residents of Innsbruck for almost five hundred years, while the Old Town’s copper-tiled Golden Roof of the same era was built as a perch for the Emperor Maximilian and his bride to watch the tournaments and festivals in the square below.
Tip: Don’t leave Innsbruck without trying Tyrolean speck, a beechwood-smoked ham flavored with herbs and spices.
DAY 6Kufstein
Right below the castle cliffs and facing the river, the Hotel Träumerei #8’s rooms are all individually decorated with quirky themes like “classic cinema.” Another option also near the river, the casual urban Arte Hotel has a wine bar with frequent live music.
On a chilly day you can drink your beer by the fire at the Bierol Taproom & Restaurant, though when the sun shines in the summer, you’ll want a table in the garden. Steaks cooked on a lava stone grill and a full wine cellar in its 15th-century house have long made the Auracher Löchl a popular restaurant.
Near Kufstein, the lush Kaisertal Valley, with its meadows and picturesque old chapel, lies within a nature reserve surrounded by craggy peaks. If you’ve long enjoyed drinking wine from Riedel glasses, you can visit their company’s factory just south of the castle.
Tip: A detour upriver, to the town of Ebbs, offers an opportunity to learn about how schnaps was traditionally made at the Brennerei Messerschmied.
DAY 7Hallstatt
The lakeside Seewirt Zauner hotel’s restaurant specializes, not surprisingly, in fresh fish, but you’ll also find game from the Dachstein Mountains on the menu. With one-off rooms in its three combined old houses, the Hotel Heritage Hallstatt serves a gourmet menu in its Im Kainz restaurant. Across the lake, the Restaurant Höllwirt treats diners to freshly caught fish in a house that has been in the same family since the 1700s. At the northern tip of the lake, and with a terrace under chestnut trees, the Restaurant Steegwirt in Bad Goisern is as traditional as Austrian inns get.
When you are not eating your way around Hallstatt, the 7,000-year-old Salzwelten, or Salt World, mines are a fun and fascinating peek into the ancient civilizations in this part of the Alps. Recently, a Skywalk viewing platform was added that cantilevers over the lake below at a height of 1,200 feet. On Hallstättersee lake, you can board one of the traditional salt transport boats for a fun cruise.
Tip: At Salzwelten’s shop, you can pick up some ancient Salzkammergut salt, known for its curative powers.

Spieth-Thomas help U.S. lead Presidents Cup
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Americans have a juggernaut in Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas that moved them closer to another victory in the Presidents Cup on Saturday.
The International team has a spark plug in 20-year-old Tom Kim, who delivered the emotion and big putts that made it clear the Americans will have to work for it.
The day started with the Americans having a mathematical chance to clinch the cup. It ended with them holding an 11-7 lead, with 12 singles matches left on Sunday.
Spieth and Thomas became only the second U.S. partnership to win all four team matches in the Presidents Cup, handily winning their foursomes match in the morning and their fourballs match in the afternoon.
The Internationals split the morning matches, and the way this Presidents Cup has gone for them, not losing ground felt like a win.
They rallied over the final hour in two matches to turn deficits into 1-up wins, taking the afternoon session by winning three of the four matches.
Hojgaard’s lead slips to 1 shot: Rasmus Hojgaard holds a slender one-shot lead from George Coetzee at the French Open after making a terrible start to his third round and ending with a 3-over 74.
The Danish player had a six-shot lead overnight on Paul Barjon, but he slipped from 15 under to 12 under.
Coetzee — a five-time European tour winner — was third overnight and a 3-under 68 put him in contention at 11 under.
Baseball
La Russa won’t return this season
CHICAGO — Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa will not return to the dugout this season.
La Russa, who turns 78 on Oct. 4, had “additional testing and medical procedures over the past week,” the team said Saturday, and doctors have directed the Hall of Famer to stay away from managing for the rest of the season.
Bench coach Miguel Cairo will continue to serve as acting White Sox manager.
Lowe, Baz done for season: Tampa Bay second baseman Brandon Lowe and right-hander Shane Baz are done for the season due to injuries, while one-time ace Tyler Glasnow is expected back next week following Tommy John surgery in August 2021.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Lowe’s bad lower back has not responded to treatment, while Baz will have Tommy John surgery.
Football
Bills place Hyde on season-ending IR
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills placed starting safety Micah Hyde on season-ending injured reserve on Saturday because of a neck injury.
The player’s agent, Jack Bechta, first announced the pending move on Twitter earlier in the day, and wrote he expects Hyde to be healthy in returning for next season. Hyde also posted a message on his account, thanking fans for the love and support they’ve shown him and his family by calling it “truly unreal.”
Hyde already had been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Miami. He was carted off the sideline in the second half of Buffalo’s 41-7 win over Tennessee on Monday night.
Watkins goes on IR: Green Bay wide receiver Sammy Watkins was placed on injured reserve with hamstring issue, meaning he must miss at least the next four games.
Ravens rule out Stanley: Baltimore offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley was ruled out of Sunday’s game at New England because of lingering ankle issues.
Titans place Lewan on IR: Tennessee placed three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan on injured reserve after he hurt his right knee for the second time in three seasons.
Rams WR Jefferson out: The Rams placed receiver Van Jefferson on the injured list during his recovery from knee surgery.
Beasley added to Bucs roster: Tampa Bay promoted wide receiver Cole Beasley to the active roster.
Boise St. fires offensive coordinator: Boise State fired offensive coordinator Tim Plough and replaced him with former college and NFL head coach Dirk Koetter for the rest of the season.
Boise State coach Andy Avalos announced the change after the Broncos were stunned in a 27-10 loss to UTEP on Friday night.
Koetter has been working as an analyst for the Broncos.
Briefly
Basketball: After a slow start, A’ja Wilson was clutch in the fourth quarter, finishing with 20 points to help the United States beat China 77-63 at the FIBA World Cup.
Motor sports: Brad Keselowski has his first pole as a NASCAR series owner-driver, finishing with a qualifying lap of 189.99 mph at Texas Motor Speedway. ... Noah Gragson opened the NASCAR Xfinity playoffs by becoming the first driver in 39 years to win four races in a row, going to Victory Lane at Texas Motor Speedway after being just in front of a massive wreck that took out three playoff contenders.
Cycling: Annemiek van Vleuten surprised herself and the rest of cycling by recording the finest win of her career at the world road championships. Overcoming an elbow fracture sustained three days earlier, the Dutch great won her second world road race title.
Sailing: Tom Slingsby and two-time defending champion Team Australia regained their sea legs and took a slim lead in the Spain Sail Grand Prix in Cádiz.
Skiing: Two-time Olympic skiing champion Aksel Lund Svindal underwent surgery after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, the Norwegian said.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.
— Nate Wiggins broke up Sam Hartman’s fourth-down pass in the end zone to help No. 5 Clemson hold off No. 21 Wake Forest 51-45 in double overtime on Saturday.
Wiggins had been targeted frequently by Hartman and the Wake Forest receivers but came through to knock away Hartman’s final ball for A.T. Perry. He fell to the end zone turf, then sprung up to join his team in celebration.
D.J. Uiagalelei threw for 375 yards and five touchdowns to lead Clemson (4-0, 2-0 ACC), including the go-ahead score over the middle to Davis Allen to start the second overtime.
Hartman threw for 337 yards and a program-record six touchdowns for Wake Forest (3-1, 0-1), including two each to Jahmal Banks and Donavon Greene. But the Demon Deacons stalled out near midfield on a potential winning drive to end regulation, then couldn’t stop the Tigers in the first OT after starting off with Hartman’s TD throw to Perry.
No. 1 Georgia 39
Kent St. 22
ATHENS, Ga. — Brock Bowers scored two more touchdowns and Georgia survived a sloppy performance and surprisingly gritty effort from Kent State.
The Bulldogs (4-0) turned it over three times, struggled in the red zone, were burned on a fake punt and gave up several big plays to Kent State (1-3) in what was easily their worst performance of the season.
Kent State had a chance to make it a one-score game with less than 13 minutes remaining after Marquez Cooper scored on a 1-yard run to cap a 12-play, 75-yard drive. But a two-point conversion failed, leaving the Bulldogs with a 32-22 lead.
No. 4 Michigan 34
Maryland 27
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Blake Corum rushed for a career-high 243 yards and two touchdowns and Michigan topped Maryland in the Big Ten opener for both teams.
Corum had a career-high 30 carries. He became the first Michigan back to rush for 200 yards since Karan Higdon in 2017.
No. 14 Penn St. 33
Cent. Michigan 14
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Sean Clifford completed 22 of 34 passes for 217 yards and accounted for four touchdowns to lead Penn State.
Tight end Brenton Strange caught two touchdowns and Mitchell Tinsley caught one. Clifford and Kaytron Allen added touchdown runs for the Nittany Lions (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten).
No. 17 Baylor 31
Iowa St. 24
AMES, Iowa — Blake Shapen threw for 238 yards and three touchdowns as Baylor held on to beat Iowa State in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
The loss snapped the Cyclones’ 11-game home winning streak against conference rivals.

Middle Tennessee State got paid $1.54 million to stun Miami, Mario Cristobal
Middle Tennessee State football cashed in on a stunning upset win over No. 25 Miami on Saturday, and now it can enjoy cashing a check.
MTSU beat Miami 45-31 at Hard-Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., on Saturday, triggering one of the marquee upsets by a Group of Five team this season — and a signature win for veteran coach Rick Stockstill.
MTSU, which had been 0-23 against top-25 opponents, received $1.5 million to play the game, according to a copy of the game contract obtained by the USA TODAY Sports Network. As part of the deal, Miami also paid the Blue Raiders program $40,000 in travel expenses.
MTSU (3-1) earned its hefty payday by controlling Miami (2-2) throughout, delivering a gut punch to first-year Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal.
The Blue Raiders led 24-10 at halftime and outgained Miami, 507-367.

Junior quarterback Jalon Daniels led the Jayhawks to a 35-27 win over Duke while leading the team in rushing to go along with an outstanding 19-for-23, 324 yards passing and five total touchdowns.
Daniels, while being known as a dual-threat quarterback, was able to do most of his damage through the air. Despite great mobility as a quarterback, Daniels mentioned that the best way to move the ball at the position is through the air.
“At the end of the day, if I get out of the pocket I’m trying to look to pass the ball down field because that's where most yards come from,” Daniels said.
The Jayhawks had struggled in the two games prior to the win vs Duke with getting off to a fast start. They went down 14-0 in both the West Virginia and Houston wins.
However, Daniels and the Kansas offense had different plans today.
“We put a big emphasis on starting fast this week,” Daniels said about being able to score first.
Daniels found redshirt-sophomore tight end Trevor Kardell for a six-yard touchdown pass to put the Jayhawks up 7-0. A throw with just the right amount of finesse on it allowed Kardell to find the end zone.
Daniels had three first half touchdown passes to take the Jayhawks into the locker room at halftime up 21-13.
It was more of the same in the second half, as Daniels added his fourth touchdown pass of the game in the third quarter, and his fifth total touchdown with a three-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Daniels had 83 rushing yards on 11 carries for the game. He was able to flash the running ability often, including a carry of 30 yards.
Daniels did it all today, not only with rushing and passing, but with punting as well. After the Jayhawks faced an odd 4th and 7 from the Duke 41, Daniels took a step back from the shotgun, received the snap and punted the ball inside of the Duke 10 yard line.
“I was just waiting for them to call that play again,” Daniels said on the punt. He cited he was able to do it one time his freshman year.
With potential Heisman Trophy candidate lists coming out in recent weeks, Daniels has come up on a few.
“He’s a heck of a player so yeah, I’m all for it,” coach Lance Leipold said of his quarterback coming up on such lists.
Leipold also stated how key he has been for the advancement of the program: “He’s done a heck of a job, getting a lot of people to take notice, and take this program seriously.”
While Daniels may not have the stats to be on every Heisman Trophy list there is, he has the Jayhawks at 4-0, which is the most important stat for any quarterback.

In a close battle between undefeated teams, Kansas football is the one heading in to next week 4-0, taking down the Duke Blue Devils 35-27.
The Jayhawks opened up the game coming within just inches of scoring first, but came up short on fourth down. As Kansas defense hit the field, it came up big to hold the Blue Devils to a quick three-and-out.
Going into Saturday, Duke had scored on all three of its opening-game drives.
Junior quarterback Jalon Daniels continued to show off his mobility in Saturday’s contest, with a 30-yard rush to get the Jayhawk first down at 6:05 in the first quarter. Daniels found redshirt-sophomore tight end Trevor Kardell for a six-yard touchdown pass to put Kansas on the board first.
Duke quickly responded on the next drive with the help of sophomore quarterback Riley Leonard’s 49-yard pass for the Blue Devils first down. Redshirt-junior Jaylen Coleman rushed the ball in for five yards, and a successful extra point attempt brought the score to 7-7.
As the first quarter came to a close, Kansas fumbled at the 28-yard line, turning the ball over to the Blue Devils to start off the second quarter, but the Jayhawks minimized the damage with a huge stop.
On the next drive, there was no stopping redshirt-sophomore running back Daniel Hishaw’s run to the end zone after a 73-yard pass from Daniels to put the score in Kansas’ favor.
The Jayhawks continued to successfully move the ball down the field, closing out the half with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Daniels to find junior wide receiver Luke Grimm.
Kansas entered the locker room at half with a 21-13 lead over the Blue Devils, and Daniels was shining early on Saturday. At halftime, Daniels had collected 259 yards of total offense with three touchdowns and 11-for-12 on passes, putting together a 314.2 quarterback rating.
Opening up the second half, Duke was threatening in its five and a half minute drive, but the Jayhawk defense held the Blue Devils for a stop on 4th and 1.
Building on momentum from the stop, Daniels added on to both his already impressive statline and the Kansas lead with a 36-yard touchdown pass to redshirt-sophomore wide receiver Lawrence Arnold.
The Blue Devils added their first score of the half in the fourth quarter on a three-yard rushing touchdown by redshirt-junior running back Jordan Waters, but despite Duke’s efforts to close the gap, Daniels responded with a rushing touchdown of his own with just under five minutes remaining.
A late 19-yard touchdown pass from Leonard kept Duke close as the game approached the two-minute warning, but came up short as the Jayhawks’ undefeated season lives to see another week.
Next up, Kansas hosts Iowa State on Oct. 1 as it continues to hold the perfect record. Kickoff will be at 2:30 p.m. at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.

As you may have seen in the past four weeks, Kansas football is off to a now 4-0 start to its season after a 35-27 victory over the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday. However, achieving this undefeated record wasn’t easy as there have been plenty of obstacles and adversity to overcome for this squad.
Lucky for the Jayhawks, they’re used to this adversity.
In its last two games, Kansas started each game in a 14-0 hole as the Jayhawks had to find a way to dig themselves out of it. Kansas took that challenge head on and came out with two wins on the road to improve to 3-0 prior to its matchup with the Blue Devils.
“I think we handled the adversity very well. That’s something that we harped on in the offseason, just handling the adversity no matter what situation it is,” junior quarterback Jalon Daniels said. “We were able to just come out there and just play Kansas football.”
In those two games, Daniels threw for six combined touchdowns and ran for two more scores en route to two-straight double-digit Kansas wins. He tallied five total touchdowns on Saturday alone, leading Kansas to victory and keeping its undefeated streak alive.
The Jayhawks knew that winning games, let alone every game thus far, wouldn’t be easy, and they’re happy to see that the work they put in all season long is finally coming to fruition.
“It’s good to know that the amount of preparation that we put in is paying off,” Daniels said. “We know what we’re able to do, so now we just have to be able to go out there and be able to execute.”
While the Jayhawks know what they’re capable of, many still have questions for a team that hasn’t had this good of a start in over a decade. If expectations surrounding Kansas football are going to change, it has to start with the production on the field.
And that production has been bountiful, as the team ranks amongst the best in the nation in points per game, scoring 48.5 per contest. The city of Lawrence, along with the entire nation, is starting to see a shift in what this team is all about.
“People are paying attention; they’re seeing change,” coach Lance Leipold said. ‘We had a large group here today. They see the crowd, they see the excitement, they see the potential of what this program can be, and it’s exciting.”

The Jayhawks have already tallied four wins in their four games played this season, double the two wins Kansas had all of last season in Leipold’s first season with the squad. Kansas fans should no longer hope for wins from their team, they should expect them.
“We talk about it now that we gotta take the field expecting to win, not hoping to win. But we also talk that we gotta prepare, we gotta plan it out, and then we gotta play, and then we gotta execute,” Leipold said.
Winning football games is now the expectation for the Kansas Jayhawks. Winless seasons, like the 0-9 2020 season and an 0-12 season in 2015, are out the rear view mirror.
As Kansas looks forward to hosting Big 12 Conference rival Iowa State on Oct. 1 at 2:30 p.m., the Jayhawks hope to see yet another packed crowd at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
“Hopefully today’s performance gave enough people a reason to get back here next week because we’ll need them again,” Leipold said.

LOS ANGELES – Dustin May won’t pitch again during the regular season.
The Dodgers placed the 25-year-old right-hander on the Injured List Saturday with lower back tightness. He will not be eligible to pitch again until after the regular season ends.
May will be eligible to pitch in the postseason and the Dodgers are optimistic that the injury was caught early enough that he will be healed and ready to pitch for them when their National League Division Series begins on October 11.
May returned from Tommy John surgery to make six starts for the Dodgers with mixed results. He had a 4.50 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 29 strikeouts in 30 innings.
He was given six days off between starts earlier this month when he was bothered by arm soreness and pitched five no-hit innings at San Francisco when he returned to the mound. In his next start (last Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks), however, he gave up five runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings.
“You think about coming back from Tommy John and having a fresh body – it isn’t really like that,” May said, talking at the time about the arm soreness in San Francisco. “I’ve been throwing for nine months (without an offseason).”
May said the extra time off before the start against the Giants “really helped.” The back issue came up after that start against the Diamondbacks last week.
TREINEN STATUS
Reliever Blake Treinen was shut down from throwing this week when his injured shoulder didn’t “bounce back” as well as hoped, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. As of pre-game Saturday, Treinen had still not resumed throwing, making his status for the rest of the regular season and the postseason very much in question.
Roberts said there is “a small chance” that Treinen pitches again in a regular-season game. But even if he doesn’t, Roberts said there will still be “an opportunity” for him to make the postseason roster.
“With Blake, I don’t think there’s a timeline as far as regular season games,” Roberts said Saturday. “If Blake is ready in our week off, the break before the playoffs, he’ll be on our roster. If he’s ready.”
Treinen made three appearances in April before going on the Injured List for four months with a partial tear of his shoulder capsule. He returned to make two appearances in early September but then went to the sidelines again with renewed shoulder discomfort.
FREEMAN OUT
Freddie Freeman was scratched from the starting lineup before Saturday’s game due to illness.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Freeman has been fighting “a little bug” and “just doesn’t feel right.” Freeman went through his pregame routine Saturday before being scratched. He was also out of the lineup Friday.
Roberts said Freeman might be available to come off the bench later in Saturday’s game. If he doesn’t appear in the game, it will be the first time Freeman has missed consecutive games since the last week of the 2019 season with the Atlanta Braves.

YAKIMA, Wash. — The Yakima Valley Partners Habitat for Humanity named Solarity Credit Union as Community Partner of the Year at the 2022 Golden Hammer Awards. The annual awards recognize people and organizations who make it possible for Habitat for Humanity to do what they do. The nonprofit works with the community to build homes with affordable mortgages for people who need it.
In March 2022, over a dozen Solarity employees were credited with donating 92 hours of work toward a Habitat for Humanity project for local mother Kristen Smith. She was working on the home herself, while also caring for three high-need children and needed help, according to the press release from Solarity.
The Solarity employees worked with Smith, hanging drywall, putting in a fence and everything in between. The press release says they enjoyed the experience and were excited for the move-in last July.
“We are humbled to receive this recognition,” said Mina Worthington, Solarity President and CEO. “We believe everyone should have a home of their own. To know that we played a small part in making a big difference in this mother’s life is special. It’s something our team will never forget.”
In recent years, employees at Solarity have donated around $30,000 to Habitat for Humanity. They’re reportedly looking forward to the next project.

PROSSER, Wash.
UPDATE: 6:10 p.m.
Highway 221 has been closed for the fire.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 4:04 p.m. - Multiple fire agencies are responding to a vegetation fire off Wine Country Road and West Gibbon Road, near Interstate I-82 Milepost 88. Crews are estimating a fire between 600 and 1,000 acres. The surrounding area is only vegetation and wildlife, according to Mike McKenna with West Benton Fire Rescue.
Benton County Fire District 1, 2 and 5 are also on scene. Multiple agencies received emergency calls reporting the fire, in multiple places. Some people reported a fire around Milepost 88, some reported a fire around Milepost 93.
Crews arrived to find the fire climbing the hill. McKenna says the hill is just plowed wheat fields, so the fire can run to the top of the hill. Crews are focusing on maintaining the ends, according to McKenna.
There are currently over a dozen engines on scene. McKenna reports two strike teams and two dozers are on scene, another dozer is on the way, and they may call in a fixed wing and helicopters. He estimates crews will be there all night.

Coming off a week where RFK Racing saw its first win under the new banner, Brad Keselowski kept the momentum rolling Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway posting the fastest time of the field to earn the pole in the No. 6 ROUSHParts.com Ford.
“That was a heck of a lap,” Keselowski said. “I was proud to show my speed and be starting on the front row on pole. This is a tough track to qualify at because the speeds are so high and the track is so slick and hot. Three and four was one of those gutsy laps where you hold it wide open through there and hope it sticks. It was really close but we made it through. That was probably the difference maker.”
It marks the 18th pole of Keselowski’s career and first since 2019, and second overall at Texas (2015 – fall). It is the first pole for the famed No. 6 car since July 2011 when David Ragan posted quick time in Indianapolis.
“Credit to Matt McCall and the team here who worked on the car,” Keselowski added. “We made two good changes and here we are. It is a super exciting time for me and for our company here at RFK with a lot of the progress we have made over the last few months and now it is actually starting to show up. I am proud of our lap. It didn’t come unearned but we have a long way to go tomorrow for 500 miles here in Texas.”
Overall the pole is No. 91 in the Cup Series for Jack Roush’s team, and fourth at Texas Motor Speedway. RFK teammate Chris Buescher posted the 13th-quickest lap time on the day.
Keselowski enters Sunday’s race with three-straight top-10s at the 1.5-mile track and will lead the field to green in the 500-mile, 334-lap race. Race coverage is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on USA, and can also be heard on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Running back Dominique Johnson returns for Arkansas football vs. Texas A&M
ARLINGTON, Texas — Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said running back Dominique Johnson had been cleared to play for about three weeks, but that it would be up to Johnson when he returned from injury. Johnson made his decision and entered the game late in the first quarter against Texas A&M on Saturday.
Johnson has been recovering from a knee injury he suffered during the Outback Bowl in January. He was one of Arkansas' top running backs last season with 575 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
The junior practiced without a green no-contact jersey for the first time in the lead-up to Arkansas' game against South Carolina, but he did not appear in Arkansas' Week 2 or 3 games.

In Johnson's absence, sophomore Raheim "Rocket" Sanders has been getting most of the work at running back. Coach Sam Pittman declared him the team's feature back in preseason practice and said even when Johnson returned, the two would both be considered as such.
With Sanders and Johnson both in the mix, plus quarterback KJ Jefferson, Arkansas has three of its top four leading rushers from last season back for more in 2022. It's a huge boost for an offense that also returned four out of five starting offensive linemen.

Myles Slusher back in starting role for Arkansas football vs. Texas A&M
ARLINGTON, Texas — The start of Arkansas football's game against Texas A&M came with good news for the Razorback secondary: Nickelback Myles Slusher was back as the starter.
The redshirt junior had missed the Razorbacks' prior two games with an unspecified injury he suffered in the opener against Cincinnati. Freshman Jayden Johnson had been starting at nickel in Slusher's stead.

Slusher's return is a big boost for a struggling Arkansas secondary. The Razorbacks entered Saturday's game ranked last in FBS with 353 passing yards allowed per game.
No. 10 Arkansas (3-0) and No. 20 Texas A&M (2-1) are meeting at AT&T Stadium for the 11th time since the matchup was rebranded as the Southwest Classic in 2009. Arkansas won last season's edition of the game 20-10, its first win over the Aggies in a decade.

Arkansas football drops heartbreaker to Texas A&M for first loss of 2022 season
ARLINGTON, Texas — Arkansas football came out hot against Texas A&M on Saturday, but one play changed everything in the Razorbacks' 23-21 loss at AT&T Stadium.
A fumble at the 2-yard-line ignited a 97-yard return for a touchdown to give the No. 20 Aggies (3-1, 1-0 SEC) a jolt of energy in the second quarter. From that point , No. 10 Arkansas (3-1, 1-1) struggled on both sides of the ball.

Arkansas turnover turns tide
One week after giving up three turnovers to Missouri State, Arkansas committed its biggest yet against Texas A&M.
Quarterback KJ Jefferson fumbled trying to jump over a pile and into the end zone from three yards out.
Texas A&M defensive back Tyreek Chappell recovered the ball, and while Arkansas tried to tackle him, he handed off to teammate Demani Richardson, who had a clear path to the end zone to cut Arkansas' lead to 1. He and Chappell combined for a 97-yard return, and Arkansas didn't score again until the fourth quarter.
Razorbacks suffer from defensive lapses
The Razorback defense started strong. It held Texas A&M scoreless in the first quarter and gave up just 2.5 yards per play. Defensive end Zach Williams and linebacker Drew Sanders combined for a sack early.
But after the first quarter, the defense's demons materialized. Arkansas struggled with missed tackles in the open field. Even with nickel back Myles Slusher back in the lineup, the secondary didn't look much improved.
The Razorback defense gave up 151 passing yards and 190 rushing yards to the Aggies. Almost 75% of Texas A&M's total offense came on chunk plays of at least 10 yards.
Myles Slusher, Dominique Johnson return
Arkansas got two key players back from injury in Week 4. Slusher started for the first time since Week 1 after suffering an undisclosed injury against Cincinnati. His return was a needed boost for a struggling Razorback secondary, which has allowed the most yards per game in FBS. Slusher had six tackles, one tackle for loss and a pass breakup.
Running back Dominique Johnson entered the game late in the first quarter, his first action since the Outback Bowl in January. Johnson suffered a knee injury in the bowl game, and while coach Sam Pittman said he had been cleared earlier this season, he waited to make his return until Saturday. He was Arkansas' third-leading running back last season. Against Texas A&M, Johnson had 32 yards on five carries.

Arkansas hosts No. 2 Alabama on Oct. 1 (2:30 p.m. CT, CBS).

See Texas A&M's wild scoop and score on Arkansas football fumble
ARLINGTON, Texas — Arkansas football's matchups with Texas A&M have a tendency to get weird. In Saturday's Southwest Classic at AT&T Stadium, that started early.
Late in the second quarter with Arkansas leading 14-7, Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson fumbled near the goal line while leaping for the end zone from 3-yard-line. Texas A&M defensive back Tyreek Chappell recovered the ball and ran the other way, and while Arkansas tried to tackle him, he handed off to defensive back Demani Richardson.
Richardson made a break for the end zone, and the Aggies scored. He and Chappell combined for a 97-yard fumble return.

If that wasn't weird enough, a bad snap caused the Aggies to miss the extra point attempt. Arkansas maintained a 14-13 lead.
No. 10 Arkansas (3-0) is going for its second straight win over No. 20 Texas A&M (2-1). The Razorbacks won last season's matchup 20-10, their first win over the Aggies in a decade.

DOVER, Del. (AP) - A federal judge has issued an injunction barring Delaware from enforcing provisions of a new law outlawing the manufacture and possession of homemade “ghost guns,” which can’t be traced by law enforcement officials because they don’t have serial numbers.
Friday’s ruling came in a lawsuit filed by gun rights advocates after Democratic Gov. John Carney signed a law last October criminalizing the possession, manufacture and distribution of such weapons as well as unfinished firearm components.
Judge Maryellen Noreika denied a motion by Democratic state Attorney General Kathleen Jennings, the sole defendant, to dismiss the lawsuit. She instead granted a preliminary injunction in favor of the plaintiffs to prohibit enforcement of certain provisions pending resolution of the lawsuit.
The judge wrote that without an injunction, the plaintiffs would “face irreparable harm ... because they are threatened by criminal penalties should they engage in conduct protected by the Second Amendment.”
While declining to issue a permanent injunction, Noreika said that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their arguments that a ban on possessing homemade guns violates the Second Amendment, and that the prohibition on manufacturing untraceable firearms is also likely unconstitutional.
Noreika said Jennings had offered no evidence to support her assertion that the prohibitions don’t burden protected conduct because untraceable firearms are “not in common use and typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.”
Jennings similarly failed to substantiate her argument that the prohibitions on possession and manufacturing are “consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
At the same time, however, Noreika said restrictions on the distribution of unfinished firearm frames or components do not unduly burden a person’s Second Amendment rights. She noted that such components are still available if they include serial numbers and manufacturer information and are obtained from federally licensed gun dealers.
The judge also held that a provision restricting the distribution of instructions for using a three-dimensional printer to produce a firearm or component is not an unjustifiable regulation of speech under the First Amendment.
“The statute prohibits only the distribution of functional code,” the judge wrote. “It does not prohibit gunsmiths and hobbyists from exchanging information about how to use their 3D-printer to manufacture a firearm, or for instructing individuals on how to program their 3D-printer to make the firearm of their choice.”

(iSeeCars) – While buying a used car is often a smart financial decision, some consumers don’t want to sacrifice peace of mind by purchasing a car that’s been owned by someone else. That peace of mind is also a big reason car buyers decide to purchase an extended car warranty when they go car shopping. Extended warranties are exactly what they sound like – an extension of the factory warranty that comes standard with every new car sold today. For a single one-time fee, you can extend your coverage for a few years beyond when the normal auto warranty expires.
It’s a tempting offer, one that looks even better when the cost of it gets rolled into a monthly payment with your car loan. For a few dollars more a month, why shouldn’t a car buyer splurge on it?
But there’s more to it than that. Many buyers of these warranties eventually realize they spent more on the warranty than they got out of it.
You’ll want a full understanding before you make any decisions about getting an extended warranty. To help, we’ve gathered up the facts to help you decide if extended car warranties are worth it.
What is an Extended Car Warranty?
An extended warranty – also known as a vehicle service contract – is an agreement brokered between you and the warranty provider over who pays for car repair costs to your vehicle during a stated window of time.
The premise is simple. You’ll pay upfront for the warranty, and if anything happens to the car during the period of coverage, the warranty provider should pay all costs, less any deductible.
That’s the idea of it, at least. In reality, the warranty provider may not cover every sort of unexpected repair your car might need. They also might reduce coverage for certain repairs as the car continues to depreciate or as mileage accumulates. Each extended warranty is different in this regard, so you’ll need to carefully read the fine print. The last thing you want is to get in a dispute with the provider over who is paying to fix your car when it’s down and out on the side of the road.
Manufacturer Warranty Vs. Extended Warranty: What Does Each Warranty Cover?
Every new car comes standard with some sort of manufacturer’s warranty. There’s usually two types: the bumper-to-bumper warranty and the powertrain warranty. The latter one covers the engine, transmission, drive system, and other critical mechanical components. The bumper-to-bumper takes care of anything that doesn’t fall into that category. In the event of a mechanical breakdown, such as your radio or air conditioning failing, or a turn-indicator relay burns out, or the seat motors freeze up – all that should be covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Wear and tear stuff like brake rotors, brake pads, tires, and oil changes are not covered by either warranty.
Most manufacturers offer bumper-to-bumper warranties for three years or 36,000 miles, though this may vary. Powertrain warranties also vary but are typically good for five years or 60,000 miles. Hyundai and Kia notably offer 10 years or 100,000 miles on their powertrains, which is the best in the business. Other automakers like Toyota, Honda, and Ford offer 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Extended warranties kick in once the factory warranty expires. They also make distinctions between bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage, but they may not be as comprehensive as the factory warranty. The provider should offer a list of inclusionary and exclusionary items that spells out what is and isn’t covered by these warranties. Consider it a must-read before buying any warranty.
Again, we can’t stress enough the importance of reading the fine print that comes accompanies any extended warranty, so you can know exactly what constitutes a covered repair should your car break down.
Extended Car Warranty: New Vs. Used Cars
New cars are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. However, if you anticipate owning your new car for longer than the duration of the manufacturer’s warranty, you can buy an extended car warranty during your purchase process. Buying an extended warranty on a new car is often less expensive than purchasing one for a used car.
Used cars do not come with a warranty, unless you are purchasing a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle. Therefore, an extended warranty can provide necessary protection against costly repairs. Extended warranties can even be found on high-mileage vehicles with 100,000 miles or more. However, cars older than 10 years old or those that have over 200,000 miles may not qualify.
Extended Warranty Cost and Providers
Some extended auto warranties are available through the manufacturer, while most come from a third party such as the car dealership, an auto club like AAA, or another service provider.
When you’re purchasing a new or used vehicle from the dealership, the salesman will likely offer you an extended warranty. If you choose to buy it, the price of the service contract will be bundled into the financed amount of your auto loan. You can also make a larger down payment or opt to pay annually. This is convenient, but it will also cost you: a larger amount will need to be financed, which in turn results in paying more interest over the life of the loan.
As for a dollar value, expect to shell out between $1,000 and $3,000 for an extended warranty plan. The exact pricing depends on factors including the level of coverage and the amount of your deductible, as well as the age, make, and model of your car.
Popular third-party warranty companies include Carchex, CarShield, and Endurance. AAA also offers a limited extended warranty that goes beyond their usual roadside assistance services like tire changes, towing services, and battery jumps. The national used-car dealer Carmax offers a generous extended warranty covering the cars they sell. (Check out our guide that details CarMax warranty options.)
Extended Warranty Benefits
The biggest benefit is the peace of mind you get when driving an older, high-mileage car that isn’t covered by any sort of factory warranty. You can rest easy knowing that if anything were to fail on your car, you’d likely only be liable for the deductible. The warranty provider would take care of the rest, often paying the repair facility directly. That means you won’t have to scramble to pay staggering repair bills should anything serious fail on your car.
To fit your budget and needs, extended warranty providers often offer various coverage plan options so you can get just the right amount of protection. They may also come with perks like towing, rental car reimbursement, and even roadside assistance. The better providers will let you choose your repair shop as well.
Similar to car insurance, an extended warranty is there when you need it but invisible otherwise.
Extended Warranty Drawbacks
The biggest issue with the extended warranty is the general reliability of today’s cars. Studies have shown that most buyers of extended warranties spend far more on the warranty than they get out of it in saved auto repair costs; many don’t end up using the warranty at all.
Even if you do need to use the warranty, you’ll still have to pay a deductible, tempering potential savings. And sometimes coverage might not extend to certain items. If one of these exclusionary parts fails, you’ll be on your own to pay for these often expensive repairs.
Not all extended warranty protection plans are transferable, either. This means that if you choose to sell your car or gift it to a family member, the new owner may not enjoy the benefit of warranty coverage. This could be important if you were planning on giving your car to your children or selling it to a friend.
You also may not be able to transfer a warranty to a new car should you choose to replace your current one. If you aren’t planning on keeping your car for the long haul, an extended warranty might not be the best option.
Certified Pre-Owned Car Warranties
If you want a used car that comes with warranty coverage beyond what’s typically covered by the manufacturer’s new car warranty, another option is a certified pre-owned (CPO) car. CPO cars are low-mileage, accident-free used cars that are usually less than seven years old. The vehicle has been reconditioned to meet strict manufacturer standards and has passed a rigorous multi-point inspection. CPO cars are backed by an extended car warranty from their original manufacturer and come with added perks like roadside assistance and loaner car access. Check out our handy guide for more information on how to buy CPO cars.
Should I Buy an Extended Warranty for My Car?
The truth is that most car owners are better off without it. Instead of spending a couple thousand dollars for a warranty you may or may not use, you’re better off socking away that cash into a rainy-day fund in case your car does incur a costly repair. For all the peace of mind that a warranty provides, it doesn’t beat having an extra bit of money in the bank that’s there if you need it but also there if you don’t.
Rather than an extended warranty, you can allay your fears of future car trouble by buying a car with a proven track record of reliability. Finding that data isn’t hard to do: with a bit of searching you can quickly learn what are some of the most reliable cars on the market. Consumer Reports, for instance, is famous for their comprehensive reliability data of nearly all cars, trucks, and SUVs on the market. iSeeCars has also conducted numerous studies concerning the most reliable and longest-lasting cars to help you find a reliable model.
What Isn’t Covered in An Extended or Factory Warranty?
When your salesperson tells you that every new car comes with a bumper-to-bumper warranty, it always invokes the thought, “Wow, I won’t have to pay for a single thing on this car for at least three years!” There are some things you will need to purchase for your vehicle within that timeframe; and some of them can be rather pricey. These are the five things your manufacturer’s car warranty or extended typically won’t cover.
1. Fluids
Yes, this means ALL fluids that your vehicle needs to operate; everything from windshield washer fluid to gasoline, you’re responsible for. The biggest expense in this category is obviously going to be gas, but another petroleum product is tagging closely along in second place – engine oil. Oil changes always seem to come around a lot more often than we expect them. Three-to-five thousand miles can go by in a blink. This is also one of the most important areas of maintenance to keep track of. Your engine oil is your vehicle’s life-blood. If it goes bad, major problems could be on their way. Not to mention, nearly every manufacturer’s warranty requires them to be performed on time in order to keep the warranty valid.
Some other fluids that need to be changed at regular intervals are your transmission fluid, engine coolant (anti-freeze), brake fluid (yes, brake fluid can break down just like any other fluid), and, if applicable, power steering fluid and gear oil. Intervals on all of these items can vary drastically from vehicle to vehicle, so make sure you check your owner’s manual or with your dealership to find the appropriate time or mileage intervals for your vehicle.
2. Filters
These fall into the category of what the manufacturer refers to as “maintenance” items. They basically filter all the contaminants out of your vehicle’s fluids and airways. There are a few that you will definitely need to worry about long before your warranty expires. Most commonly, manufacturer’s warranties typically run 3-years/36,000 miles (though there are several that extend further nowadays), during this time you will be replacing the oil filter more than any other. It happens with every oil change. The next most common is your engine air filter. We say engine air filter because many vehicles now come with a cabin air filter as well. While the replacement interval isn’t typically as frequent for the cabin filter, it is one of those things you’ll pay for out-of-pocket, just like the engine air filter which is typically replaced around every 5,000 miles on average. Some last longer, others don’t; it really depends on how you use your vehicle and where you live.
Your transmission filter, if your vehicle has one (some don’t) will probably only need replaced once, if at all, during your warranty time. But since it is one of those things you’ll pay for, we’ve included it. Another is your fuel filter. This one should be replaced around every 15,000 miles on average. PCV Valves are commonly mistaken for maintenance items – they aren’t. They are emissions items and should be covered under the emissions section of your warranty if yours should ever fail.
3. Brake Lining
This is one of those areas you want to pay attention to in your warranty. Most manufacturers will cover rotors, drums, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware, boosters, master cylinders, and brake lines. Notice anything missing? That would be the brake lining. This is more commonly referred to as brake pads and brake shoes. It’s the one section of your brakes that is considered wearable and you will have to pay for them when you need them. The reason we say to pay attention to this section is because some (very few, but there are some) warranties will not cover drums or rotors; these can get expensive so be sure to ask if you’re not quite clear.
4. Rubber
Okay, not all rubber is left uncovered by the warranty, just the expensive stuff. You know, those big round things that seem to cost too much and not last long enough? Yep, tires. Most tires should last past the 36,000-mile mark, making this a moot point for most warranties, but there are those rare occasions of excessive wear, punctures, and defects that occur prematurely. The only one of these occasions the manufacturer is going to take care of for you is the defect. All others are on you. The reason we’ve labeled this category as “rubber” and not just “tires,” is very simple – windshield wipers are on you, too. Fortunately, everything else that’s rubber should be covered.
5. Accidental, or Intentional, Damage
This one is a no-brainer. Basically, if you damage your vehicle in any way, whether intentionally or by accident, you’ll be dealing with your insurance company, not your dealership. There are some exclusions to this rule, though. Some manufacturers offer warranty protection on things like glass and paint for rock chips and cracks. Others will guarantee upholstery against staining.
The Bottom Line
The perceived benefit of an extended warranty is the safety net of having someone else cover your car’s cost of repairs. But instead of spending up to $3,000 (or possibly more) on the vehicle protection an extended warranty provides, you can take very simple steps to protect yourself against unexpected repairs without spending big money upfront. Research and buy one of the most reliable cars, save a bit of money for an emergency fund to cover repairs if necessary, and never neglect to do routine maintenance. Together, these actions lower the risk for pricey repairs while also protecting against anything unexpected.

(Motor Authority) — A new Guinness World Record has been set for the fastest mile driven in reverse, with a time of 1:15.18.
The record was set on June 15, 2022, by Scot Burner at NCM Motorsports Park, the racetrack attached to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Burner drove a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with a manual transmission. He used a manual because its speed in reverse isn’t governed, and instead maxes out when the engine reaches its maximum revolutions per minute. Automatic cars are speed-governed in reverse.
Burner has a YouTube channel called Always in Reverse where he drives various cars in reverse to see how fast they’ll go. He averaged 52.1 mph during his record run. In a Corvette video he made last November driving the same car, he hit 54 mph in reverse on a public road.
According to the entry for the record on the Guinness World Records website, Burner realized he could break the record after noticing the previous record was a time he had already unofficially beaten. One of his videos shows him hitting a slightly faster top speed of 56 mph—in a Kia Sorento.
At least one other driver has gone faster in reverse without officially claiming the fastest-mile record. Then Audi Formula E driver Daniel Act hit 130 mph in Schaeffler Group’s electric Audi RS 3 touring car in 2018, but apparently, no one timed him over a mile.
It’s possible to go too fast in reverse, at least as far as safety regulators are concerned. In 2017, the Mercedes-AMG G65 was recalled because the software that limited top speed in reverse wasn’t properly calibrated, potentially allowing vehicles to exceed the 16 mph deemed safe. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.5-liter V-12, the G65 was capable of a claimed 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds while going forward, so it was probably a good idea to rein it in while backing up.

(iSeeCars) – Production shutdowns and supply chain issues from the ongoing microchip shortage have continued to drastically lower new car inventory. As demand continues to exceed the supply of new cars, dealers are pricing new cars above MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) while removing new car incentives.
A recent iSeeCars analysis of 1.9 million new car listings found the average new vehicle is priced 10.0 percent above MSRP. Additionally, some new vehicles are priced well above the 10.0 percent average.
“Dealers have responded to market conditions by pricing cars above MSRP making a higher profit on specific models to help offset lower sales volumes from restricted new car production,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “In today’s market, consumers are willing to pay well-above sticker price for new cars because inventory is so scarce and because they know that new car pricing is not expected to improve until 2023 at the earliest.”
The top 15 cars with the greatest markups range from 1.8 to 2.4 times above the 10.0 percent average for all vehicles.
The vehicle with the greatest markup is the Jeep Wrangler, which is priced 24.4 percent or $8,433 over MSRP. It’s joined by its four-door version, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and its pickup variant, the Jeep Gladiator. “As demand continues to exceed supply for these popular vehicles, dealers are adding market adjustments generally ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 on top of their MSRP, with markups being especially high for the V-8 Wrangler Rubicon 392,” said Brauer. “The Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are among the cars that hold their value best due to their ruggedness and enthusiastic fan base, which likely contributes to car buyers paying a premium for them amid their scarcity on new car lots.”
The Ford Maverick, a compact pickup truck introduced for the 2022 model year and available with either a hybrid or a gasoline engine, also makes the list. “The Maverick compact pickup has been in high demand since its debut, which forced dealers to stop taking orders for both versions at the end of January, resuming only in mid-September,” said Brauer. “Heightened gas prices have boosted demand for this already-hot seller, with both the hybrid and gasoline versions returning excellent gas mileage, and even these marked-up prices remain attainable for buyers given the starting prices of under $25,000.”
Joining the Maverick pickup is an additional Ford vehicle, the rugged Bronco off-road compact SUV. “The Ford Bronco has been in high demand since its debut last year, and this demand has exceeded supply as inventory shortages have led to long waitlists and frequent dealer markups for the vehicle,” said Brauer. “Ford closed the order books for the 2022 Bronco in May and began taking orders for the 2023 version in late August.”
Seven luxury SUVs make the list, including the Porsche Macan, the Genesis GV70, the Lexus RX 450h, the Porsche Cayenne, the Mercedes-Benz GLB, the Lexus RX 350L, and the Genesis GV80 “Hybrid vehicles like the Lexus RX 450h have been popular sellers due to the rise in gasoline prices, as well as smaller SUVs like the compact Mercedes-Benz GLB, and the Porsche Macan,” said Brauer. “Markups have also been common for the RX 350L three-row crossover and the new-for-2022 Genesis GV70 and GV80.”
Two American sports cars also make the list: the Chevrolet Corvette and the Cadillac CT5. “Demand for the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette has exceeded supply since its launch for the 2020 model year, and its high demand contributes to the vehicle consistently selling over MSRP,” said Brauer. “The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing trim, which debuted for 2022, has a supercharged V8, and the low availability of the high-performance trim led to significant markups.”
Rounding out the list is the MINI Hardtop 2 Door subcompact car. “The surge in gas prices has likely boosted the fuel-efficient vehicle’s popularity,” said Brauer.
“New car buyers will probably have trouble finding available inventory and can expect to pay higher-than-average prices for vehicles that are in high demand,” said Brauer. “Consumers looking to purchase a new car should do their research and compare prices between multiple dealers, and in some cases can avoid markups by ordering directly from the manufacturer.”

(NEXSTAR) – James Earl Jones is reportedly seeking something akin to an honorable discharge from the never-ending “Star Wars.”
The 91-year-old actor, who has voiced Darth Vader across multiple entries in the sci-fi franchise since 1977, had reportedly “signed off” on plans to replace Vader’s upcoming dialogue with a blend of archival recordings and A.I. technology after hearing how well the new tech could mimic his trademark voice, according to Vanity Fair.
Vanity Fair briefly touched on Jones’ decision in an article published Friday, which focused on the Ukrainian start-up tasked by Lucasfilm with replicating the veteran actor’s voice for the Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
The article specifically noted that the Ukrainian company, called Respeecher, was hired to help out with the new dialogue “now that Jones’s voice has altered with age and he has stepped back from the role.”
Matthew Wood, a sound editor at Lucasfilm’s Skywalker Sound studios, further told the outlet that Jones “had mentioned he was looking into winding down this particular character.” Not particularly surprising, considering he last voiced Vader in 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”
Wood indicated, however, that Jones is still somewhat involved in the franchise and lends advice to the editors on the character’s future appearances. He also described Jones as a “benevolent grandfather” when asked by Vanity Fair to outline the actor’s contribution to Vader’s most recent turns in “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
It’s unclear what plans Disney and Lucasfilm have for Darth Vader in upcoming projects, but if history is any indication, he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. More than 45 years after his debut, the character has continued to appear in films, television series, animated programs, and video games — all mediums which, seemingly, will soon need to rely on synthesized speech.

SHREVEPORT, La (KTAL/KMSS) – September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, and doctors across the nation are raising awareness about the early symptoms and preventable tips for women.
Dr. Richard Mansour, professor of Medicine at LSU Health Shreveport and program director of Hematology/Oncology Fellowship at Feist-Weiller Cancer Center, talked about the deadly disease.
“It starts in the ovaries or fallopian tube and drops onto the ovary and then grows in the pelvis and eventually spreads into the entire abdominal cavity if it’s an aggressive ovarian cancer, “ Mansour said.
There are many early signs of Ovarian Cancer, he said, with the biggest being pelvic pain.
“Bloating, pelvic pain, lower or mid-abdominal pain, difficulty eating, “ Mansour said.
Mansour added that there also are studies that say urinary symptoms can also be a sign of ovarian cancer.
For example, like having to urinate frequently. “Small amounts for a long-prolonged period of time, “ he said.
Mansour said the surgical removal of the ovaries is one way to prevent ovarian cancer in patients who have been identified as having a hereditary high risk for ovarian cancer
He also said some studies that suggest birth control medication can slow the risk of ovarian cancer.
Ovarian Cancer can become aggressive if not treated and the fatality numbers are high in Louisiana, Mansour said. “In Louisiana, the numbers are about 270 cases with 190 deaths. About two out of three patients get it, die from it.”
Mansour recommended screenings with a gynecologist if any early signs of Ovarian cancer are detected.

(WREG)— A recent rash of car thefts in Memphis, Tennessee, has many local drivers looking for ways to keep their rides safe.
Eric Dooley, with 901 Sounds automotive services, says more and more people are turning to kill switches for their vehicles. He says they install about five or six a week.
“You got burglars stealing things out of your car, people trying to steal the car itself, people want to have some kind of protection,” he said.
Dooley said a basic kill switch ranges from $250 to $350 installed, and an alarm system can cost as little as $450 installed.
“What a kill switch does is, once you put your key in the ignition, it’s not going to start the vehicle,” he said. “There is a button hidden somewhere. Sometimes people hook it up to turning your blinkers on, you know, and then you can start the vehicle but the thieves won’t know that.”
The kill switch can be placed on the steering column, windshield wiper, or anyplace inside the car, unbeknownst to the thief. The other end connects to the engine. Another type of kill switch has a magnetic component.
Dooley showed WREG how it works on any vehicle — including a vintage 1936 Ford.
“When you can park your vehicle at, you know, restaurants or the movies and can go in and enjoy yourself and you don’t have to worry about your vehicle being stolen. You’ve got protections, peace of mind,” Dooley said.
While many vehicles come with alarms installed already, some people choose these after-market alarms as an “extra” security feature.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) – Once a COVID-19 infection sets in, the virus has extreme differences in how it impacts an unvaccinated person’s body.
Throughout the pandemic, novel coronavirus proved to be lethal in some patients. “(COVID) can attack almost anything in the body with devastating consequences,” cardiologist Harlan Krumholz of Yale University told Science Magazine.
Other infected patients are asymptomatic, meaning they never feel sick.
Most studies on COVID, or SARS-CoV-2, conducted over the past two years have focused on patients who suffered severe symptoms or death. Looking further into the virus’ complexities, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, launched a study focusing on why some of the infected remain asymptomatic.
Dr. Jill Hollenbach, a UCSF professor of neurology, epidemiology, and biostatistics, conducted a study on a group of 1,400 people. Patients selected for the study were unvaccinated, had tested positive for COVID, and experienced zero symptoms while infected.
Hollenbach and the research team analyzed each person’s DNA, looking closely at a set of genes called HLA. They found a genetic mutation in HLA genes that fought off COVID so quickly, the person’s body never had enough time to develop symptoms. And while the mutation was not bulletproof, it raised a person’s chances of remaining asymptomatic ten-fold.
“My lab is interested in a set of genes called HLA,” Hollenback told Nexstar’s KRON. “Those genes are pivotal immune response genes. We wondered if certain versions of these genes are more or less effective in helping folks to deal with COVID infection.”
The study’s hypothesis and preliminary findings were published as a preprint here. Hollenbach said the team is excited for their complete study to be published next month.
Researchers previously wondered, is there a genetic basis for so-called “COVID superdodgers,” or people who are exposed to the virus but were never infected?
“There has not been a lot of success in answering that question. Too many complications,” Hollenbach said. “But we can ask the question, once someone is infected, why is their disease course different? What is the immunological basis?”
COVID-positive patients who never felt even a sniffle shared a common gene mutation, HLA B 1501, researchers discovered. This gene was especially effective for waging a rapid immune response against COVID-19 using T cells previously generated from common colds.
“I would not call it natural immunity. I would call it pre-existing immunity. We are not crazy about the use of the term natural immunity, because vaccine-elicited immunity is natural too, in a different way,” Hollenbach said.
People with the HLA B 1501 gene were essentially “COVID minidodgers” — they didn’t dodge the infection, but they dodged feeling sick.
NPR has even reported on Hollenbach’s findings, writing, “Hollenbach and her colleagues demonstrated that, with a specific mutation in HLA, some people have T cells that are already pre-programmed to recognize and fight off SARS-CoV-2. So there’s no delay in generating COVID-specific weaponry. It’s already there.”
One day, the hope is that this research can be used to create even better vaccines and treatments for COVID. But until then, at least these protections exist for a lucky few.
The best news? Hollenbach said the mutation is common, estimating that about 1 in 10 people have it.

(NEXSTAR) – For the first time in nearly 60 years, Jupiter will be as close to Earth as possible on Monday, Sept. 26, as it reaches opposition, giving stargazers a rare stunning view of the largest planet in our solar system.
According to NASA, Earth and Jupiter are separated by about 600 million miles at their furthest point. Throughout the year, both planets pass each other at different distances because their orbits around the Sun aren’t perfect circles.
On Monday, Jupiter and Earth will be as close as possible, coming within roughly 367 million miles of each other. The two planets haven’t been this close since 1963, NASA says.
This close passing is extra special this time, though – Jupiter will be reaching opposition at the same time.
Opposition, NASA explains, occurs when an object in space – like the giant planet of Jupiter – appears on one side of Earth and the Sun appears on the other.
Jupiter reaches opposition every 13 months. During this time, the planet appears larger and brighter than at other times of the year. Combine its opposition with its closest possible approach to Earth and you’ve got a stunning sight to see in the night sky.
With just binoculars, Adam Kobelski, a research astrophysicist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, says you should be able to see some of Jupiter’s bands and a few of its moons on Monday. With a telescope, Jupiter’s features will be even more visible.
Kobelski recommends finding a dark, dry spot at a higher elevation to view Jupiter.
If the weather isn’t favorable for stargazing on Monday, you should still be able to get a breathtaking view of Jupiter in the days before and after its peak.
Last month, the world’s newest and largest space telescope, the James Webb, captured never-before-seen views of Jupiter’s auroras and tiny moons.
The James Webb Space Telescope took the photos in July, capturing unprecedented images of Jupiter’s northern and southern lights, and swirling polar haze. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, a storm big enough to swallow Earth, stands out brightly alongside countless smaller storms.
One wide-field picture is particularly dramatic, showing the faint rings around the planet, as well as two tiny moons against a glittering background of galaxies.
“We’ve never seen Jupiter like this. It’s all quite incredible,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, of the University of California, Berkeley, who helped lead the observations.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — The Museum of Science & History in Memphis, Tennessee, is apologizing to guests after canceling a planned drag show Friday evening “due to the presence of armed protesters.”
The MoSH, known to many in Memphis as the Pink Palace Museum, was set to host the Memphis Proud drag show and dance party Friday. The museum has several exhibits focused on LGBTQ history this month, including an exhibit on the historic Stonewall Inn police raid and subsequent protests. The Friday drag event was billed on flyers as family-friendly.
A protest against the event was organized in the museum parking lot. Police were on scene Friday evening, and the museum cancelled all programming out of an abundance of caution.
MoSH released a statement, reading in part:
“The safety of our guests and staff members is our primary concern. Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all present, the Museum of Science & History made the decision to cancel all programming Friday evening due to the presence of armed protesters. Closing early involved the cancellation of the two events scheduled for the evening, a laser show in our Planetarium and the Memphis Proud drag show and dance party. We want to apologize to our guests and the Memphis community for the disruption.”
Museum of Science and History, Memphis
Nationally, the subject of drag performances for families and children have come under fire, with some deeming them inappropriate for younger audiences. Earlier this summer, NBC News reported the far-right honing in on drag events, in particular drag story hours at libraries.
According to NBC News, mentions of “Drag Queen Story Hour” rose 777% in just one month.
Drag Queen Story Hour is a brand of events that have been held since 2015, with the organization saying it aims to help kids “see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where everyone can be their authentic selves.”

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A recent study published by a research team with the University of Texas at Austin has found that Mexican Americans who experienced a higher level of discrimination were more likely to develop cognitive issues later in life than those who experienced less discrimination.
The scientific community has long known that Latino individuals are at an increased risk of developing cognitive impairments and Alzheimer’s disease compared to non-Hispanic white people. The reason why this phenomenon exists is less understood.
This study is the first of its kind to demonstrate that experience of discrimination is one factor that contributes to this disparity.
“This finding shows that the experience of ethnic discrimination at some point during adulthood has a detrimental impact on cognitive functioning,” the study read.
Elizabeth Muñoz, one of the project’s leads and an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, said this line of research is personal to her as someone who immigrated to the United States from Mexico. She said while doing her postdoctoral work, most of the research she studied was on non-Hispanic white populations.
“I didn’t see myself in that research. And thinking about my family — my aging family members — I didn’t know much about how their aging would look like because the literature was primarily focused on non-Hispanic white participants. We’re seeing a growth in research in this area,” Muñoz said.
In this study, Muñoz and her team for 12 years tracked over 1,000 Mexican adults between the ages of 26 and 62. The researchers tested the subjects’ cognitive abilities and rated their level of experienced discrimination at multiple time points. While the Latino population in the U.S. is diverse, they focused on people from Mexico for this study.
Researchers found that people experienced less racial discrimination with age, but the study participants who perceived more in early adulthood were more likely to develop cognitive issues.
“And interestingly, we found that those individuals who were born in the United States … were a part of that group that experienced higher discrimination than the group who experienced lower discrimination across the study period,” Muñoz said.
Conversely, the study participants who chose to test in Spanish were less likely to experience higher levels of discrimination.
“Maybe they have tighter social networks: they live close in close-knit neighborhoods that are occupied by individuals of their same race, or ethnicity. What we call ethnic enclaves, for example. And that might be protective to them in terms of their exposure to discrimination,” Muñoz said
The researchers for this project secured more funding to continue tracking these participants. In the next phase of their project, they hope to study whether the cognitive changes they observed in this study get worse and develop into a Mild Cognitive Impairment, a precursor to Alzheimer’s Disease.

Today was filled with summer memories and summer-like heat. And this “fake summer” will last through Sunday before an Autumn chill works its way into the ArkLaTex.
A southwest surface flow will transport gulf moisture into our area with humidity on the rise. However, upper-level high pressure will keep the heat going for our area through the weekend before it gradually slides westward into the desert southwest. As this occurs, the door will be open for a strong cold front to slide into the ArkLaTex later this evening into Sunday. The jury is out on rainfall chances, but it appears that there is a chance of showers this evening along and north of Interstate 30 as the cold front pushes southward.
The front will continue to push southward and a very slight chance of rain could exist along and south of Interstate 20 through Sunday. And now, here is the best news yet. Northerly winds will usher in much cooler and drier air for the entire area by Sunday night into Monday. Morning low temperatures will be in the low to mid-60s Monday and fall well into the low 50s as the week progresses. Afternoon high temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s to start the new work week falling to either side of 80 by mid to late week.
This will have you grabbing a jacket before you leave your home next week.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces launched new strikes on Ukrainian cities Saturday as Kremlin-orchestrated votes took place in four occupied regions to create a pretext for their annexation by Moscow.
In cities across Russia, police arrested hundreds of people who tried to protest a mobilization order aimed at beefing up the country's troops in Ukraine. Other Russians reported for duty, while the foreign minister told the U.N. General Assembly his country had "no choice" but to take military action against its neighbor.
Ukraine's presidential office said the latest Russian shelling killed at least three people and wounded 19. Oleksandr Starukh, the Ukrainian governor of Zaporizhzhia, one of the regions where Moscow-installed officials organized referendums on joining Russia, said a Russian missile hit an apartment building in the regional capital, killing one person and injuring seven others.
Ukraine and its Western allies say the referendums underway in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south and the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions have no legal force. They alleged the votes were an illegitimate attempt by Moscow to seize Ukrainian territory stretching from the Russian border to the Crimean Peninsula.
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said the voting "looked more like an opinion survey under the gun barrels," adding that Moscow-backed local authorities sent armed escorts to accompany election officials and to take down the names of individuals who voted against joining Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukrainians in occupied regions to undermine the referendums and to share information about the people conducting "this farce." He also called on Russian recruits to sabotage and desert the military if they are called up under the partial troop mobilization President Vladimir Putin announced Wednesday.
"If you get into the Russian army, sabotage any activity of the enemy, hinder any Russian operations, provide us with any important information about the occupiers – their bases, headquarters, warehouses with ammunition," Zelenskyy said.
Putin on Saturday signed a hastily approved bill that toughens the punishment for soldiers who disobey officers' orders, desert or surrender to the enemy.
To carry out the referendums that started Friday, election officials accompanied by police officers carried ballots to homes and set up mobile polling stations, citing safety reasons. The votes are set to wrap up Tuesday.
"Half of the population fled the Donetsk region because of Russian terror and constant shelling, voting against Russia with their feet, and the second half has been cheated and scared," Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
In the Ukrainian capital, about 100 people from the Russia-occupied city of Mariupol, which is part of the Donetsk region, gathered to protest the referendum, covering themselves in Ukrainian flags and carrying posters "Mariupol is Ukraine."
"They ruined the city, killed thousands of people, and now they are doing some kind of profanation over there," said Vladyslav Kildishov who helped organize the rally.
Elina Sytkova, 21, a demonstrator who has many relatives left in Mariupol even though the city spent months under bombardment, said the vote was "an illusion of choice when there isn't any."
It's "like a joke, because it's the same as it was in Crimea, meaning it's fake and not real," she said, referring to a 2014 referendum that took place in Crimea before Moscow annexed the peninsula in a move that most of the world considered illegal.
The mobilization ordered by Putin marked a sharp shift from his effort to cast the seven-month war as a "special military operation" that doesn't interfere with the lives of most Russians.
Russian police moved quickly to break up demonstrations against the mobilization that were held in several cities across Russia on Saturday, arresting over 700 people. More than 1,300 protesters were arrested during a previous wave of protests on Wednesday, and many of them immediately received call-up summons.
The Russian leader and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said the order applied to reservists who had recently served or had special skills, but almost every man is considered a reservist until age 65 and Putin's decree kept the door open for a broader call-up.
The Russian Ministry said that the partial mobilization initially aimed to add about 300,000 troops to beef up its outnumbered volunteer forces in Ukraine. The Ukrainian government stopped allowing most men ages 18-60 to leave the country immediately after Russia's Feb. 24 invasion under a general mobilization order intended to build a 1 million-strong military.
Across Russia's 11 time zones, men hugged their weeping family members before being rounded up for service amid fears that a wider call-up might follow. Some media reports claimed Russian authorities planned to mobilize more than 1 million recruits, which the Kremlin denied.
Moving to assuage public fears over the call-up that could erode Putin's grip on power, authorities announced that many Russians working in high tech, communications or finance would be exempt.
After some of the pilots of the Russian flag carrier Aeroflot and other airlines reportedly received call-up notices, pilots and traffic controllers unions moved quickly to secure a government promise that they, too, would be excluded from the mobilization.
Many Russian men bought up scarce and exorbitantly priced airline tickets out of the country as as rumors swirled about a pending border closure. Thousands others fled by car, creating lines of traffic hours or even days long at some borders. The massive exodus underlined the unpopularity of the war and fueled public outrage.
In a sign the Kremlin was starting to worry about a backlash, the head of a top state-controlled TV station harshly criticized military authorities for hastily sweeping up random people to meet mobilization targets instead of calling up people with specific skills and recent military service, as Putin promised.
RT chief Margarita Simonyan lashed out at military conscription offices for "driving people mad" by rounding up those who weren't supposed to be drafted. "It's as if they were tasked by Kyiv to do that," she said.
Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed regional leader of Chechnya who sent his forces to fight in Ukraine and repeatedly called for tougher action, suggested that Moscow should more broadly engage personnel from law-enforcement agencies in the fighting.
He denounced those fleeing the mobilization as cowards and argued that police and various paramilitary agencies that number a total of 5 million personnel together with the military would make a much better-trained and motivated fighting force.
"If we leave 50 percent of the personnel to fulfil their duties, 2.5 million others will blow any Western army away and we won't need any reservists," Kadyrov said.
Putin's mobilization order followed a swift Ukrainian counteroffensive that forced Moscow's retreat from broad swaths of the northeastern Kharkiv region, a humiliating defeat that highlighted blunders in Moscow's military planning.
The Defense Ministry on Saturday announced the dismissal of Gen. Dmitry Bulgakov from the post of deputy defense minister in charge of logistics. It didn't mention the cause for his ouster, but the move was widely seen as a punishment for the flaws in supporting operations in Ukraine.

London: Sitting courtside Rafa Nadal cried as his great rival, Roger Federer, bid an emotional farewell to tennis at the Laver Cup on Friday, later saying an important part of him was also leaving the men's Tour with the retirement of the Swiss.
Pictures and videos of Federer and Nadal - who shared one of tennis's most enthralling rivalries - crying together after combining for Team Europe in a doubles defeat at London's O2 Arena went viral on social media, leaving their legions of fans highly emotional.
Nadal, who has won a men's record 22 Grand Slam singles titles, said it was a difficult night for him emotionally as the defeat to the American pair of Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe marked the end of the 41-year-old Federer's dazzling career.
"For me, has been huge honour to be a part of this amazing moment of the history of our sport, and at the same time a lot of years sharing a lot of things together," the Spaniard said of Federer.
"When Roger leaves the tour, yeah, an important part of my life is leaving too because all the moments he has been next or in front me in important moments of my life. So has been emotional (to) see the family, see all the people. Yeah, difficult to describe. But, yeah, amazing moment."
Federer, who won 20 major singles titles, played Nadal 40 times in one of the most compelling rivalries across any sport.
Despite the ferocity on court, they have remained friends off court. It was perhaps most apt that the Swiss chose to have his final dance with Nadal on his side of the net.
Loud cheers accompanied Federer and Nadal, or "Fedal" as they are jointly nicknamed, on to court. After entertaining the sellout crowd during the match, both were overcome by emotions.
"I think every year the personal relationship gets better and better, on a daily basis," Nadal, 36, told reporters. "I think in some way we understand at the end we have a lot of things similar. We approach the life probably similar.
"On court we have completely opposite styles, and that's what probably makes our matches and our rivalry probably one of the biggest and most interesting.
"Very proud to be part of his career in some way. But even happier to finish our career like friends after everything we shared on court like rivals."

Louise Fletcher, the Alabama-born actress best known for her role as the cruel, authoritarian Nurse Ratched in the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, died on Friday at her home in Southern France at the age of 88. She was relatively unknown at the age of 40 when she secured the part, which won her an Academy Award for Best Actress. She continued to work in film and television up through the early 2010s, with a recurring role on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and earning an Emmy nomination for Picket Fences and Joan of Arcadia.
She was born Estelle Louise Fletcher, one of four children of deaf parents who worked in churches for the hard-of-hearing. After studying drama at the University of North Carolina, Fletcher moved to Los Angeles and found work on television westerns in the late 1950s and early 1960s. (Being 5 feet 10 inches tall, she said, was an advantage in that field.) She appeared on Bat Masterson, Maverick, two episodes of Wagon Train, and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. In 1960 she married Jerry Bick, later a film producer, and suspended her acting career to raise a family.
Her return came with Thieves Like Us, Robert Altman’s 1930s-set southern outlaw film starring Keith Carradine, Shelley Duvall, and Tom Skerritt. It was based on an Edward Anderson novel that Nicholas Ray had previously adapted into They Live By Night. Bick, who had also co-produced Altman’s previous movie, The Long Goodbye, was among its producers. The sequence in which Fletcher’s character betrays her brother inspired the Czech director Miloš Forman to cast her as the villain in his forthcoming adaptation of Ken Kesey’s novel and play One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. A slew of well-known actresses like Angela Lansbury, Anne Bancroft, Colleen Dewhurst, and Geraldine Page had already tuned the project down.
Starring opposite Jack Nicholson (and Brad Dourif, Danny DeVito, Christophe Lloyd, Will Sampson, Vincent Schiavelli, and many others), Fletcher’s turn as Nurse Ratched brought nuance to the representation of tyranny as overseer of the psychiatric ward where Nicholson’s character is feigning insanity to ditch a prison sentence. One is never quite sure if her cruelty is rooted in a poisoned rationalization of working toward a greater good, or if she is just an old-fashioned sadist.
Cuckoo’s Nest was a tremendous success, and was the second movie in Academy history to sweep the “big five” awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Nicholson), Best Actress, and Best Screenplay, which went to Lawrence Haubman and Bo Goldman. Dourif was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and there were nominations for cinematography, editing and Jack Nitzsche’s original score. (In case you were wondering, the previous “big five” winner was 1935’s It Happened One Night, and the only one since has been 1991’s The Silence of the Lambs.)
At the close of her Oscars acceptance speech, Fletcher communicated to her parents using sign language. She also won the BAFTA and Golden Globe for the role.

An Arizona judge ruled on Friday that a near-total abortion ban can once again take effect across the state, with no exceptions for rape or incest.
Reproductive health clinics in the Grand Canyon State have come to a screeching halt to stop all abortions, only able to perform the medical procedure if a pregnant person’s life is in danger. The 158-year-old Arizona law–which was updated and codified in 1901–states that abortion providers could serve between two to five years in prison.
The 1864 ban was blocked by a court injunction in response to the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973; since Roe v. Wade was overturned this summer, the basis for such an injunction no longer stands, the judge explained.
“The Court finds that because the legal basis for the judgment entered in 1973 has now been overruled, it must vacate the judgment in its entirety,” Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson wrote in her ruling.
This revived 1864 law is so ancient that it is even older than the state of Arizona, which achieved statehood in 1912.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich praised the ruling: “We applaud the court for upholding the will of the legislature and providing clarity and uniformity on this important issue. I have and will continue to protect the most vulnerable Arizonans.”

In contrast, Senator Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) took to Twitter to condemn the harsh ban: “Repealing Roe v. Wade set Arizona women’s rights back decades. This decision sets them back 158 years, to before Arizona was even a state. I won’t stop until we restore abortion rights so my granddaughter can have the same freedoms my grandmother did.”

This statewide abortion ban comes in the wake of Lindsey Graham’s proposal for a nationwide abortion ban earlier this month. Graham introduced the bill three months after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, and 37 days after he said the issue of abortion should be left up to the states to decide.
After introducing the bill, Graham said at a press conference: “I think we should have a law at the federal level that would say after 15 weeks, no abortion on demand except in cases of rape, incest and save the life of a mother. And that should be where America’s at.”
On Friday, on the same day as the Arizona ruling, President Joe Biden criticized Graham’s federal bill as being too extreme: “I happen to be a practicing Roman Catholic. My church doesn’t even make that argument now.” The president added that he would veto the bill if it came across his desk.

Outraged Iranians and security forces clash across the country, sparked by the mysterious death of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, after she was detained on Sept. 13 for allegedly violating a strict hijab rule.
She died three days later in police custody; authorities said she had a heart attack but hadn’t been harmed, according to The Associated Press. Amini’s family rejects that explanation, and witnesses said they saw her beaten in the detention van, which authorities deny happening.
The New York Times reported that as of Friday, protests were surging in over 60 cities in Iran, and that the death toll is rising. Protests started after her Sept. 17 funeral with videos showing confrontations with police, women removing and burning their state-mandated head covering and cutting their hair.

On Saturday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said Iran must "deal decisively” with the tumult plaguing the country.
Internet access has been cut off in Iran, preventing the Iranian people from capturing the protests that have turned deadly. As of Friday, local media reported that the death toll had reached 35.
In the capital city of Tehran, video footage shows security forces shooting into the crowd of protesters; in Rasht, forces launched tear gas into apartments, the New York Times reported; in Oshnavieh, protesters took over the small city as security forces fled from the scene.
In his remarks before the U.N. on Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden said: “Today, we stand with the brave citizens and the brave women of Iran who right now are demonstrating to secure their basic rights.” On Thursday, the United States imposed sanctions on the morality police for “serious human rights abuses” and accused the law enforcement unit of being “responsible” for the death of Mahsa Amini.
Also on Thursday, the Iranian government caused a nearly total internet blackout in the country. In response, on Friday the Treasury Department said it would provide a license to expand internet access to the country’s 80 million citizens. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday: “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.”

Pharoah Sanders, the tenor saxophonist who expanded the language of jazz in the mid-20th century, died on Saturday in Los Angeles, as per a social media update from the record label Luaka Bop. The Arkansans-born instrumentalist and composer was a key member of the post-bebop movement of what is known as modal jazz, and along with his mentor John Coltrane popularized a sub-genre called spiritual jazz. His 1969 album Karma is a masterpiece of the form and continued this work up through last year with the release of Promises in 2021, a collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra and the electronic artist Sam Shepherd, also known as Floating Points. Sanders was 81 years old.

Born Ferrell Sanders in Little Rock, Arkansas, he left for Oakland, California at the age of 19, finding the city of his birth (and its Jim Crow restrictions) too limiting as a musician. Here he met members of the jazz avant-garde, playing with Dewey Redman who would eventually be part of Ornette Coleman’s legendary quartet. He also befriended John Coltrane at this time, though they did not work together.
He soon moved to New York City and fell in with bandleader/interplanetary traveler Sun Ra, occasionally playing with the Sun Ra Arkestra. It was at Ra’s suggestion that he use the name Pharaoh.
Though Sanders recorded with Sun Ra, that material would not be released until years later. His first album (Pharoah’s First), on a small label, impressed John Coltrane, who invited him to join his group. Sanders was part of the murderer’s row of 11 legends who journeyed to Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 28, 1965. There they recorded Ascension, a free jazz landmark that is still decades ahead of its time.
Coltrane, who died of cancer two years later at the age of 40, found in Sanders a partner in the so-called “sheets of sound” technique that led many listeners on an inward journey toward discovery. In 1969, Sanders’s released his breakthrough, Karma, with its 32-minute track “The Creator Has A Master Plan.” The album was heavily influenced by non-Western musical and religious themes.
Sanders also recorded with his mentor’s widow, Alice Coltrane, specifically on two landmark albums, Ptah, the El Daoud, and Journey in Satchidananda. The latter, released in 1971, is a record for which the proper adjectives have yet to be invented. Suffice to say, it reached members of the jazz and counter-culture movements and provided an aural backdrop for a lot of what that time period is celebrated for.

The gardening articles you enjoy each week are written by community volunteers who are certified as Master Gardeners by Washington State University.
There are currently 30 Master Gardener Programs within the 39 Washington State Counties.
In Yakima County we celebrated our 40th year of service in 2020.
In 1980, Dr. Roy Van Denburgh, WSU Extension emeritus, began training a few individuals in horticultural practices. Today under WSU Extension, we have grown to over 100 active volunteers.
The purpose of the WSU Master Gardener Program is for WSU Extension Agents to educate volunteers so that they can provide and share science-based horticulture, gardening, and pest management information within their community.
From January to April, these dedicated individuals begin their course work meeting every Wednesday afternoon at the Red Barn at the Ahtanum Youth Park. A few classes are taught by WSU faculty and local individuals who are experts in their field.
For Trainees these classes are supplemented by a WSU Canvas online course. Subject areas include botany, plant identification, soils, composting, insect identification, plant diseases, integrated pest management, lawns, vegetable gardening, sustainable gardening, plant propagation and much more.
Yes, it sounds technical, but the purpose of the coursework is not to “know” all there is about gardening, but to be able to use resources to find information when needed.
The primary goal of the Master Gardener Program is public gardening education. Many of our members are retired teachers who continue to get satisfaction from sharing their knowledge.
Another goal is community service, where we volunteer in Teams and Interns volunteer a minimum of 40 hours by spending time in a variety of the teams.
These include: the diagnostic plant clinic at the WSU Extension, the Yakima Farmer’s Market, or the State Fair. Master Gardeners research and answer questions posed by the public when they either call, email or present in person.
Other volunteer teams include:
• working in our three gardens (the beautiful Demonstration Garden located at the Ahtanum Youth Park, the Heirloom Garden - strictly vegetables and seed saving and the West Valley Food Garden that donates produce to a local food bank);
• doing plant propagation and seedling nurturing over the winter months in our Greenhouse; helping at our annual plant sale the first weekend of May (which provides the necessary funding to support our program);
• hosting the Spring Symposium where each of the four Wednesday evenings in March a guest lecturer gives a 2-hour gardening presentation to the public;
• holding classes for the public on most Saturday mornings at both the Demonstration Garden and the Heirloom Garden given by Master Gardener in their area of expertise.
• upon request our Speaker's Bureau will talk on gardening topics to local groups;
• writing gardening articles for the Yakima Herald and Yakima Magazine;
• teaching gardening practices to our Youth in certain schools, outreach programs and at many local events; and helping to create community gardens when asked. We all work hard, but most of all we find the Master Gardener program fun and extremely rewarding as we make friends with fellow gardeners.
After completing these educational and service requirements, our new Interns are awarded their Master Gardener Certificate of Completion.
Many of our Master Gardeners say, "it is the friendships you make along the way that are as important as completing the Program". The ‘veteran’ Master Gardeners return each year for 10 hours of continuing education and to contribute a minimum of 25 hours of community service in the team(s) of their choice.
If you feel you would like to join our "family of gardeners", we encourage you to apply to the WSU Master Gardener Program before the November 15th deadline. Contact the WSU Yakima County Extension at 2403 S. 18th St., Suite 100, Union Gap, WA 98903. Call 509-574-1604 or email www.gardener@co.yakima.wa.us and ask for the application and information sheet.
For more information visit our webpage: http://tinyurl.com/yakimagarden, where an application and information sheet are both available. It is always important to “Follow your Passion” and we are here to help you.

MSC Cruises has altered the planned itinerary for MSC Seashore to avoid impacts from Tropical Storm Ian, which is forecast to become a hurricane in the next 24-36 hours.
The ship’s ports of call have been changed and its route altered to avoid the worst expected impact of the storm.
Altered Itinerary With Changed Ports of Call
MSC Seashore, which is departing today – Saturday, September 24 – on a 7-night roundtrip Western Caribbean sailing from Miami, will no longer be making the same port visits as originally planned.
Guests have been notified of the altered itinerary via letters in their staterooms as they boarded the vessel today.
“We regret to inform you that due to forecasted path Tropical Depression Nine (which is forecasted to become Tropical Storm and then Hurricane in the next few days) our scheduled itinerary will need to be adjusted,” the letter read.
“Your comfort and the safety of all our guests and crew is our utmost priority.”
The ship’s original itinerary called for a day at sea, then three of the most popular Caribbean ports of call in quick succession: Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico. After another sea day, MSC Seashore was to visit Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island destination in The Bahamas, before returning to Miami on October 1.
Now, everything about the ship’s itinerary has been changed to route the vessel around Tropical Storm Ian and its potential impact.
The Seaside-class MSC Seashore will visit Ocean Cay on Sunday, September 25 as the first port of call rather than the last, and with a shorter visit time of 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. rather than the original port time of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
On Monday, September 26, the ship will spend the day in Nassau from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
One day at sea will follow, then an overnight visit in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, from 8 a.m. on Wednesday until 4 p.m. on Thursday. This will give guests plenty of time for multiple shore tours or other experiences at the destination.
After another day at sea, the cruise will conclude in Miami as planned on Saturday, October 1, with no change in the ship’s anticipated arrival time or debarkation.
“I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding,” the letter, signed by the ship’s captain Giuseppe Galano, reads. “We look forward to welcoming you aboard MSC Seashore.”
Disappointing But Necessary Changes
Many guests will undoubtedly be disappointed by such drastic itinerary changes, especially as the ship will now have just three port visits rather than four.
Pre-paid, pre-booked tours for Ocean Cay are being automatically switched to the new schedule, while tours for Ocho Rios, Georgetown, and Cozumel are being fully refunded. Guests will have opportunities on board to book tours for the new visits in Nassau and Puerto Plata.
This dramatic itinerary change comes as Tropical Storm Nine has strengthened into Tropical Storm Ian, and is forecast to continue strengthening into a hurricane.
As of Saturday evening, the storm is located due south of Jamaica, with maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour), and is moving west at 16 miles per hour (26 kph).
The storm is forecast to begin a northwest turn on Sunday, which will likely take it between Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico early next week. While there is still great uncertainty about the storm’s eventual strength and exact path, all cruise lines will be watching the storm closely.

Stay tuned to Cruise Hive for further updates on this developing storm and its impact on cruise travel in the region, as Western Caribbean itineraries are very popular and a number of ships on different cruise lines are likely to be affected in the coming days.

Norwegian Cruise Line has notified guests booked for a 14-night sailing aboard Norwegian Breakaway departing November 6, 2022 that regular maintenance will require the ship to reduce speed, and as a result, two ports of call are being dropped.
Norwegian Breakaway Itinerary Change
Norwegian Breakaway‘s November 6 sailing is a repositioning cruise from New York to New Orleans, featuring a broad array of port visits including Aruba, Panama, Costa Rica, Panama, the Dominican Republic and more.
Originally, the ship was scheduled for a total of seven different ports of call, but guests have now been notified that two ports of call are being canceled, with no substitute ports arranged.
In an email sent to booked guests and travel partners, the cruise line has stated the following:
“It is always our intention to maintain original itineraries. However, at times, unforeseen circumstances require us to make modifications. As a result of required maintenance, Norwegian Breakaway will observe reduced speeds.”
The email goes on to outline the exact itinerary changes, which include removing Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, as well as Cozumel, Mexico from the schedule entirely.
Furthermore, the ship will have less time in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, though that change is minimal – only arriving 30 minutes later than originally planned, now 8:30 a.m. instead of 8 a.m., but with no change to the ship’s evening departure at 6 p.m.
In total, the ship has now gone from 7 ports of call to 5, and increased the sea days from the original 6 to a total of 8.
Other than “required maintenance” there has been no explanation of why the ship must sail at reduced speeds for this itinerary. The email does clarify that the ship’s safety is not compromised in any way.
Hotel operations as well as dining services and entertainment will also not be affected, and guests will have plenty to enjoy aboard the 145,655-gross-ton cruise ship during such a unique sailing.
Norwegian Breakaway measures 1,068 feet (326 meters) long, with 18 decks. The ship has the new Syd Norman’s Pour House rock lounge venue, as well as The Waterfront, a quarter-mile oceanfront promenade for unimpeded sea views.
Guests can also enjoy the ship’s Aqua Park and Sports Complex, featuring the thrills of zip lines, water slides, and The Plank, extending eight feet (2.4 meters) out over the ship’s edge.
Other guest favorites onboard include the casino, spa, thermal suite, multiple specialty restaurants, pools, and much more. Norwegian Breakaway can welcome 3,959 guests at double occupancy, with 1,657 international crew members offering superior service.
Compensation Offered, But Not Cancelation
As compensation for the now canceled ports of call, Norwegian Cruise Line is offering guests onboard credit. While the exact amounts may vary depending on the staterooms booked and how many guests are in each stateroom, most passengers are receiving $150 per person.
It should be noted that cruise lines have full authority to change, reschedule, or cancel ports of call at anytime, with no requirement to offer any compensation beyond refunding port fees and taxes as well as related pre-paid services, such as pre-booked excursions arranged through the cruise line.
Norwegian Cruise Line’s guest ticket contract, Section 7(c), Itinerary Deviation, clearly states that the ship may “deviate from the purchased voyage or the normal course for any purpose” which includes the right to “cancel any scheduled call at any port for any reason and at any time.”
For the changes to Norwegian Breakaway‘s sailing, the cruise line is offering the onboard credit, but is not offering guests the opportunity to cancel the sailing or the option to transfer to a different sailing without stiff penalties.
Those types of options had been offered for free by many cruise lines during the early days of the cruise industry’s post-pandemic restart, when vaccination and testing requirements, as well as ongoing changes in COVID-19 variants, remained widespread.
Now, many cruise lines are tightening their policies once again, even while cruisers may still be accustomed to the more forgiving policies that had helped entice travelers back to sailing.
Because of this, all cruise travelers should carefully consider whether or not travel insurance may be a good addition to their booking, which could permit them greater flexibility if a ship’s itinerary changes.

The right-hander went at least seven innings for the first time this season and second time in 24 career starts.
The Pirates (56-96) ended Chicago's four-game winning streak, and now must win at least seven of their final 10 games to avoid reaching 100 losses for the 10th time.
Wade Miley (1-2) gave up one hit over the next three innings before leaving with left oblique tightness in the fifth.

It’s Okay: To Not Always Be There for Friends
Share
In It’s Okay, we defend our most embarrassing, unpopular opinions.
Sometimes, I feel like the worst person in the world.
A person who wants to care and support the people they love, but… just can’t. My heart breaks for the friend who’s nursing their heartbreak. My anxiety sits uncomfortably on my chest as I watch another friend grow weaker under its weight. My exhaustion finds a companion in my colleague’s burnout. I grieve for them, but sometimes, in cursory moments when I have little to offer, I can’t grieve with them.
I feel like the worst person in the world because sometimes, I fail to live up to the expectation I would have of my friends too. It’s selfish, even hypocritical, for action to not match intent. No one is too busy to not respond to a text, or too emotionally drained to lend a sympathetic ear — especially for a loved one.
Except, they are. Friendship demands presence, selflessness, and empathy above all else. But empathy, not unlike love, is a finite resource. It feels almost reductive to liken empathy to a battery pack that needs to be put in charge, as if it’s a commodity that loses its value or worth over time. But that may very well be the case, because the people holding on to this empathy are vulnerable and imperfect. Emotional exhaustion can’t be quantified, but evidence shows patterns of emotional scarcity: almost 36% of people surveyed reported a sense of cognitive weariness, 32% reported emotional exhaustion, and almost 44% reported physical fatigue. Everything from longer work hours to increased demands at home made things harder.
It’s almost as if stress, burnout, fatigue, and emotional chaos are walls closing in on us. And arguably, individual stressors shape the way we respond to other people too. Research this year found stress to be a potent emotion, in that it made even empathetic people less kind, less altruistic towards others’ needs. “Stress spills into our personal lives in many ways, affecting the quality of our close relationships… When people are stressed, they become more withdrawn and distracted, and less affectionate,” wrote Amie Gordon, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan. Biologically this plays out in the brain’s neural networks, where cortisol, the “stress hormone,” alters brain activity in regions linked to social decision-making.
To put it simply: even if one wants to be there for someone else, sometimes, they just can’t. And no one puts it better than Rachel N. Remen, who beautifully wrote: “The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet.”

Why We Are Able to Empathize With Some, Never All
So much of this expectation setting comes from a flawed understanding of friendship and platonic affection in general. Popular culture has given us a script as to how romance plays out: first, we were told love has no boundaries, then we taught ourselves to erect some and care for ourselves before others. The knowledge of romantic relationships is still evolving but we’re coming to a consensus that an over–reliance on your romantic partner isn’t the best idea.
So far so good. But where is the script for love and intimacy in friendships? No, Sex and the City or Friends aren’t helpful examples, especially today. No one has the kind of time and money and energy to invest in others — even if they are your closest friends. T*, 26, was in a quandary when she had to decide between two weddings. Her friends expected “if I love them, I’ll show up… [But] If I do that, I will get fired and be broke…. Bunny and Naina drop everything to attend Aditi’s wedding for days on end in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The women in Four More Shots Please! drop everything and go to Istanbul — and then, also make it to a destination wedding… Like, do you guys not have jobs?”
We know when we have the bandwidth to engage, and when we don’t. It’s okay to say no in friendships, to tell the people you love that you need to tap out. Prioritize yourself, your work, even someone else — if that’s what it takes in this moment in time to keep yourself afloat.
Friendships are relationships too that deserve care and kindness and deliberate attention. We nurture them because they give us a “first glimpse of redemptive love and caring community,” as bell hooks put it. So if there were a script, and we may as well craft one, it would involve some form of boundary-setting. I love you, but right now, I need some time away. Arguably, there is a right time to have this conversation, before you escape and evade and make the other person feel guilty for badgering you. The conversation is an act of self-preservation still, for it is the only thing that can sustain a friendship.
Better is a relative term; being a better friend also involves self-care in relationships, and that means checking out when you think you don’t have the capacity to engage.
Maybe, and hopefully, we unlearn and relearn what it means to be there for people in time. It’s not always long ranting messages, consolations given by way of “you’re right!!!” or “HOW DARE HE???” or “I’m so sorry you’re going through this.” Sometimes, people can be there for each other even in silence, and even in absent company. It’s okay to not be there, because at least you’re being there for yourself.

Woe Is Me! “My Sister Is About to Marry a Terrible Person. Should I Stop Her?”
Share
Woe Is Me! is a series in which The Swaddle team indulges your pity party with advice you’ll probably ignore.
“My sister has been dating this guy for a couple of months, and is getting serious about settling down with him. But I really don’t think he’s a good match for her — he’s emotionally distant, doesn’t really communicate when they fight, and doesn’t quite get along with our common friends either. He doesn’t seem to be too encouraging of her career, too, and I worry that she will end up prioritizing him if she were to marry him. She thinks he’ll keep her happy and marriage will change things. But how do I tell her it’s a mistake, and she can find someone infinitely better?”
— Fight or flight
DR: I do understand your quandary, and I know it must be really frustrating to be in your position, but I’m afraid there’s very little you can do to change a decision she has made as an adult. What you can probably try is to introduce your sister to couples in healthy relationships — giving her a chance to observe, and hopefully, learn. Or, you could invite friends, who have been in similar relationships as her only to have it blow up, to hang out with the two of you and share their takeaways (but this is only if they are comfortable sharing their experience, of course). That might allow her to spot the red flags in her own relationship. You could also start sending her infographics on social media about what constitutes an emotionally abusive relationship. Or, if you want to be more subtle, just post them on your Instagram/WhatsApp stories so that she doesn’t feel it’s directed at her, and instead, process the information at her own pace, without feeling attacked. Maybe, you can also recommend her movies that depict loving, healthy relationships — as well as those that depict how emotionally abusive relationships can take a toll on people’s wellbeing.
I really don’t want to suggest a full-scale intervention involving your friends, though. If it doesn’t work and she chooses to continue her relationship, she’ll feel too ashamed to turn to anyone for support and guidance if — although it’s probably a matter of when — things do go south with her partner. That might just end up alienating her, and in a way, and prolong her misery by depriving her of a support system at her hour of need. On that note, I think you should also be super-cautious while advising her because you don’t want her to resist admitting things are going badly in her relationship –when they do, that is.
I do think you should still try to get her to see that she may be about to make a mistake that’s not the easiest to get oneself untangled from. But do be sure to let her know that you’ll be there for her no matter what she chooses right now!
AS: Maybe you could try the chutney test, like they do in 3 Idiots? Maybe that can open her eyes? Or, you can ask a private investigator to dig up dirt on him. He sounds too suspicious not to have any, you just have to stalk his social media a little and something surely will come up. And if this also fails, you can just sit her down and tell her about how all the “great” men in the world have turned up to be massive red flags. Maybe then she will see the light.
RN: Firstly, you should have told her this much earlier! But I understand why it might have been difficult. However, this is a tricky terrain to walk on: what if, by dissuading your sister at the 11th hour, you don’t end up stopping anything but instead damage your relationship with her? This doesn’t mean that you don’t do anything at all, it means you need to be strategic about it.
Try asking her pre-marriage questions like what she’s afraid of, what she’s looking forward to, and what she’s unsure about. Try and tease these issues about her fiancé out of her rather than spelling them out and ambushing her. Then, remind her that she has support systems — that she has friends and family that she should prioritize no matter what — so that she can rely on you from the get-go. There’s a way to provide support without alienating her — but trying to stop the wedding altogether may just make things worse. Reiterate the importance of having a career again and again. If you’re comfortable, have an honest but kind talk to understand why she wants to marry this guy, and express your concerns frankly to see how she responds to them.
But remember — she’s a person with agency too, so it’s important to talk to her rather than decide for her.
SK: Yes, you should stop her. If you didn’t have a favorable opinion of the other person, in general, outside of whatever relationship decisions they took, I would tell you to express your disdain passively. But more is at stake here. I assume you have done your due diligence, and have plenty of reasons to believe this person is not the right partner for your sister. (Last minute gut-checks: do her friends and your family share the same opinion? Have you spoken to him about your concerns? Has your sister shared concerns of her own about the relationship? Does it feel like she’s going out of her way to justify his neglect or emotional abuse?)
The first step is to tell your sister of your wariness. This is not to ambush her or critique her reasons, but just to understand where she’s coming from and what her priorities are. Marriage is about many things, but if it feels like she’s pushing herself to be someone she is not, it’s fair to at least do something. This calls for some strategizing: is there a way to ask others for help, people who may know them as a couple together? Or, take your sister away for a vacation, giving her the opportunity to step back from this whole situation, and reflect on her emotions and choices.
Give her time to make her decision regardless, but make sure she has all the information she needs before she says yes — or, well, no.

HALIFAX, NS — Fiona washed houses into the sea, tore the roofs off others and knocked out power to the vast majority of two Canadian provinces as it made landfall before dawn Saturday as a big, powerful post-tropical cyclone.
Fiona transformed from a hurricane into a post-tropical storm late Friday, but it still had hurricane-strength winds and brought drenching rains and huge waves. There was no confirmation of fatalities or injures.
Ocean waves pounded the town of Channel-Port Aux Basques on the southern coast of Newfoundland, where entire structures were washed into the sea. Mayor Brian Button said Saturday over social media that people were being evacuated to high ground as winds knocked down power lines.
“I’m seeing homes in the ocean. I’m seeing rubble floating all over the place. It’s complete and utter destruction. There’s an apartment that is gone," said René J. Roy, a resident of Channel-Port Aux Basques and chief editor at Wreckhouse Press, said in a phone interview.
Roy estimated between eight to 12 houses and buildings have washed into the sea. “It’s quite terrifying," he said.
Jolene Garland, a spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Newfoundland and Labrador, said a woman was safe and in "good health" after being “tossed into the water as her home collapsed” in the Channel-Port Aux Basques area. Garland said that an individual who might have been swept away was still reported as missing and that high winds were preventing an aerial search.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the town of 4,000 people was in a state of emergency as authorities dealt with multiple electrical fires and residential flooding.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau canceled his trip to Japan for the funeral for assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Trudeau said the federal government would deploy the Canadian Armed Forces to assist.
“We are seeing devastating images coming out of Port aux Basques. PEI (Prince Edward Island) has experienced storm damage like they’ve never seen. Cape Breton is being hit hard, too,” Trudeau said.
“Canadians are thinking of all those affected by Hurricane Fiona, which is having devastating effects in the Atlantic provinces and eastern Quebec, particularly in the Magdalen Islands. There are people who see their houses destroyed, people who are very worried — we will be there for you.”
Halifax Mayor Mike Savage said the roof of an apartment building collapsed and they moved 100 people to a evacuation center. He said no one was seriously hurt or killed. Provincial officials said there are other apartment buildings that are also significantly damaged. Halifax has about 160 people displaced from two apartments, officials said.
More than 415,000 Nova Scotia Power customers — about 80% of the province of almost 1 million — were affected by outages Saturday morning. Over 82,000 customers in the province of Prince Edward Island, about 95%, were also without power, while NB Power in New Brunswick reported 44,329 were without electricity.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre tweeted early Saturday that Fiona had the lowest pressure ever recorded for a storm making landfall in Canada. Forecasters had warned it could be the one of the most powerful storms to hit the country.
“We’re getting more severe storms more frequently,” Trudeau said Saturday.
He said more resilient infrastructure is needed to be able withstand extreme weather events, saying a one in a 100 year storm might start to hit every few years because of climate change.
“Things are only getting worse,” Trudeau said.
A state of local emergency was also declared by the mayor and council of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
“There are homes that have been significantly damaged due to downed trees, big old trees falling down and causing significant damage. We’re also seeing houses that their roofs have completely torn off, windows breaking in. There is a huge amount of debris in the roadways," Amanda McDougall, mayor of Cape Breton Regional Municipality, told The Associated Press
“There is a lot of damage to belongings and structures but no injuries to people as of this point. Again we’re still in the midst of this,” she said. “It’s still terrifying. I’m just sitting here in my living room and it feels like the patio doors are going to break in with those big gusts.”
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said roads were washed out, including his own, and said an “incredible” amount of trees were down
“It is pretty devastating. The sad reality is the people who need information are unable to hear it. Their phones are not working, they don't have power or access to the internet,” Houston said.
Peter Gregg, President and CEO of Nova Scotia Power, said unprecedented peak winds caused severe damage. “In many areas, weather conditions are still too dangerous for our crews to get up in our bucket trucks,” Gregg said. He said about 380,000 customers remain without power as of Saturday afternoon.
Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King said they had no reports of any significant injures or deaths. But he said few communities were spared damage, with the devastation looking to be beyond anything they had seen previously in the province. He said over 95% of islanders remained without power.
Federal Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair said there was very extensive damage at the airport in Sydney, Nova Scotia. He said other airports also were hit, but that damage at the Halifax facility, Nova Scotia’s largest airport, was minor.
Fiona had weakened to tropical storm strength late Saturday afternoon as it moved across the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The U.S. hurricane center said Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph). It was centered about 80 miles (130 kilomters) northwest of Port aux Basques and moving northeast at 8 mph (13 kph).
Tropical storm-force winds extended outward up to 550 miles (890 kilometers).
Hurricanes in Canada are somewhat rare, in part because once the storms reach colder waters, they lose their main source of energy. But post-tropical cyclones still can have hurricane-strength winds, although they have a cold core and no visible eye. They also often lose their symmetric form and more resemble a comma.
In Sydney, Nova Scotia, the largest city in Cape Breton, about 20 people took refuge at the Centre 200 sports and entertainment facility, said Christina Lamey, a spokeswoman for the region. Lemay said there were hundreds of people displaced in the province.
Arlene and Robert Grafilo fled to Centre 200 with their children, ages 3 and 10, after a huge tree fell on their duplex apartment.
“We were trapped and we couldn’t open the doors and the windows, so that’s when we decided to call 911,” Arlene Grafilo said. She said firefighters eventually rescued them.
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.
In the Caribbean, Tropical Storm Ian was predicted to rapidly strengthen in the coming days. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said it could move over western Cuba and toward the west coast of Florida or the Florida Panhandle by the middle of next week.
Ian was centered about 255 miles (410 kilometers) south of Kingston, Jamaica, late Saturday afternoon. It had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph) and was moving west at 16 mph (26 kph). A hurricane watch was issued for the Cayman Islands.

PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State led today's game by 12 points with four minutes to play, but the Cougs succumbed to No. 15 Oregon, losing a heartbreaker 44-41.
Quarterback Cameron Ward was terrific for WSU today, but with a chance to lead his team down the field for a game winning touchdown, Ward was intercepted by Oregon linebacker Mase Funa to seal the deal.
Ward was 37-48 for 375 yards and threw for two touchdowns on the day. However, he also threw two interceptions, including the pick six to Funa that ended the game.
WSU jumped out to a 17-6 lead late in the first half on Francisco Mauigoa's 95 yard pick six, which had a sold out Martin Stadium in a frenzy. It was the second longest interception return touchdown in school history.
It was a 20-15 WSU lead in the second half until Ward would find De'Zhaun Stribling for a 15 yard touchdown, which would push the lead to 27-15.
After Oregon scored, Ward led an impressive drive, which was helped out by two 15-yard penalties, including a DJ Johnson targeting penalty. WSU would punch it in on a Robert Ferrel rushing TD on a jet sweep and with 6:42 to go, the Cougs led 34-22.
This was when the unraveling began. Oregon marched right down the field and Bo Nix hit Cam McCormick on a one yard touchdown pass to cut the WSU lead to 34-29.
After a quick three and out, Oregon would take the lead as Nix would hit Troy Franklin deep downfield for an easy pitch and catch touchdown to put Oregon up 37-34 with 1:21 to go.
Two plays later, Ward attempted a screen pass that was intercepted by Mase Funa and taken to the house to send Cougs fans home dumbfounded as to how their team fumbled away a late lead.
WSU (3-1) will return to Martin Stadium next Saturday for a matchup with California. That game is set to kick off at 2:30 PM.

MERCER ISLAND, Wash. — Friday night's several hours-long traffic backup has led the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to close all westbound Interstate 90 lanes from Mercer Island to Seattle.
WSDOT said the decision to close more of I-90 was made due to "extreme traffic conditions" after drivers attempted to bypass the original closure using city streets. WSDOT cameras captured the hours-long backup and said people were seen leaving their vehicles.
Bicyclists and emergency vehicles will still be able to cross the bridge.
The closure will last until 5 a.m. Monday, according to WSDOT.
People will need to use Interstate 405 to go around Lake Washington or take State Route 520 to cross the lake.
WSDOT crews will replace an expansion joint that connects the bridge to Mercer Island.
The closure coincides with a Seattle Seahawks home game on Sunday and the University of Washington Huskies at home on Saturday.
"Closures during large events are not ideal, but in this case, it can’t be avoided," WSDOT Project Engineer Shawn Wendt said.
“We have been trying to schedule this work for several months, but supply chain issues have pushed us back into September, and we need to finish the project this fall while there is still good weather to allow the concrete to cure,” Wendt said. “This expansion joint is old and needs to be replaced. If it were to break, that would require an emergency repair that could affect peak traffic periods. By scheduling the work and announcing it ahead of time, people have an opportunity to plan around it.”
WSDOT suggests travelers, especially those headed to the game, should plan ahead and take transit and alternate routes or alter trips where possible.

Since the release of Apple TV+'s Sidney—an Oprah-produced documentary about Sidney Poitier's remarkable life, impact, and legacy—director Reginald Hudlin's inbox has been inundated with both praise and enthusiasm for the thorough telling of the Academy Award-winning actor, filmmaker, and activist's story. In theaters and streaming now on Apple TV+, Sidney features candid interviews with Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman, Barbra Streisand, and Spike Lee, as well as Poitier's very own daughters Beverly, Pamela, Sherri, Gina, Anika, and Sydney.
Over a year in the making, Hudlin traveled down many rabbit holes while exploring Poitier's life for the documentary, but he says he learned just as much as about himself throughout the filmmaking process. "Making the movie really made me realize Sidney played an integral part in my life," Hudlin tells Oprah Daily. "Because I grew up seeing his movies my whole life, I just kind of took it for granted that he defined manhood to me. The intelligence, the integrity, the courage, the elegance—that was the measuring stick of what to aspire toward."
Ahead, Hudlin shares more lessons he learned while bringing Poitier's story to the big screen.
More From Oprah Daily
#1 Don’t take no for an answer.
Sidney's parents didn't have much in terms of material resources. They didn't have running water. They didn't have electricity. They didn't have a formal education, but they gave him love, a sense of hard work and drive, a sense of moral compass. They gave him everything he needed to conquer the world. So when we think about what we have and what we don't have, and what we can give someone and what we can't give someone, don't get it twisted in terms of focusing too much on material values.
When I first started, being a Black filmmaker was very difficult. The presumption among every studio was that there was no market for Black films, and no one wanted to see it. Every day was a battle, so I was used to being in combat mode. One day my wife goes, "You're presuming too much about people's hostility to what you're trying to do. You don't know what's going to happen. So why don't you try it anyway?" That shift in mentality was important. Over the course of my own career, I have seen so many barriers fall, and I've seen my part in knocking those barriers down. I feel more optimistic than ever, and looking at Sidney's career, he never lost that same sense of positivity.
#2 Honor your principles.
Sidney only accepted roles of Black men who were dignified, diplomatic, and ethical. He took on roles that felt authentic to him. One of the breakthroughs I had while making this film was that my greatest successes are when I'm being a hundred percent myself. My successes come from doing what I believe in and what I'm passionate about. When I deviate from that, things don't work out, and I go, "Okay, well that's it." So it makes sticking to your principle very easy.
#3 Failure is okay.
It's rare to have a second and third act in life, but Sidney did exactly that when he began producing and directing his own films. I try to challenge myself and challenge others to try new things but, most importantly, be willing to be bad at them. When we're children, we try everything. We hit a baseball, we play the piano, we draw a picture, right? Then, when we get a little older, we figure out what we're good at, and we stop doing things we're not so good at. Just the act of learning and stepping outside your comfort zone expands your consciousness and your confidence and can make a real difference, and sometimes you might surprise yourself.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
The documentary Sidney is out streaming now on Apple TV+ and in theaters.

MIAMI (AP)Sandy Alcantara struck out 11 in eight dominant innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 Saturday night.
Bryan De La Cruz had his first career four-hit game with a homer, two doubles and a single for Miami.
The 27-year-old Alcantara (14-8) allowed Joey Meneses’ home run in the first and little else.
”When the hitters are so aggressive you have to take advantage of the over-swing,” Alcantara said. ”After that first inning I just wanted to finish the game. That’s my mentality all the time.”
In his 13th start of at least eight innings this season, the All-Star righty gave up three hits, walked one and hit a batter.
After striking out the side in a perfect eighth, Alcantara was lifted at 99 pitches. A few boos from the crowd of 16,099 were heard when Dylan Floro entered to pitch the ninth. Floro closed for his seventh save.
”It’s one of those you’ve piled up enough innings on him, he hasn’t had any kind of struggles and it’s going to be hard to take him out,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. ”To let him go out with 10, 12, 15 (additional pitches) whatever it ends up being, it doesn’t seem to make sense where we are now.”
Alcantara, who has thrown a major league-leading 220 2/3 innings, accepted the decision but wanted to string two consecutive complete games after his seven-hitter at Washington on Sunday.
”It’s always hard because I never want to leave the game,” Alcantara said. ”It doesn’t matter how many innings I throw.”
JJ Bleday’s two-run single in the first put the Marlins ahead 2-1. The sinking line drive to right-center fell between outfielders Victor Robles and Lane Thomas, scoring Brian Anderson and Garrett Cooper.
De La Cruz connected against Erick Fedde (6-11) to lead off the fourth. It was his 11th homer of the season and fourth since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 6.
”When I put my mind on something, I achieve it,” De La Cruz said. ”My batting practice today was really good. I was feeling it.”
The Marlins added a run in the sixth on Miguel Rojas’ two-out RBI double, ending Fedde’s outing.
Fedde gave up four runs and nine hits, walked one and struck out four. He had a 4-1 career record and 2.24 ERA against Miami before his start Saturday.
The Nationals struck quickly against Alcantara with Meneses’ drivet in the first. Meneses drove Alcantara’s sinker over the wall in right for his 11th homer.
”Joey got us going right away,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. ”He drove a pretty good pitch to right field. He was ready to hit.”
PLAYING IT SAFE
De La Cruz briefly thought of stretching his second double to left in the eighth into a triple and becoming the first Marlins player to ever hit for the cycle. But De La Cruz, who didn’t know of the club’s elusive feat until informed by Rojas, played it safe and remained at second when left fielder Alex Call quickly retrieved his drive to the wall.
”It was going to look too obvious,” De La Cruz said. ”I wasn’t going to risk it going to third so I settled for the double.”

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)Cody Morris and Will Brennan are both only a few games into their big league careers. They are already doing their parts to help the Cleveland Guardians get closer to the AL Central title.
Morris pitched five innings in his fifth MLB start for his first career victory, and Brennan’s two-run single capped a five-run outburst in the decisive frame for the Guardians in a 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
”That’s just contagious offense and that’s what we have here,” said Brennan, who played his third big league game since his debut Wednesday. ”It’s so much fun. It’s a blast.”
With their 16th win in 19 games, and Chicago’s 5-3 loss at home to Detroit, the Guardians (84-67) can wrap up the division as early as Sunday. They arrived in Texas after a three-game series sweep in Chicago and now have an eight-game lead over the White Sox with 11 games to play.
”It’s really special to be a part of a playoff push and I’m happy that I could, you know, get five innings tonight,” Morris said.
A seventh-round pick by Cleveland in the 2018 draft, Morris (1-2) threw the last of his 80 pitches in his fifth career start just before the Guardians’ decisive frame. The right-hander allowed two runs, one earned, and four hits in his five innings.
All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase loaded the bases after getting the first two outs in the ninth, allowing two singles and hitting Adolis Garcia on his left wrist with a 100 mph pitch, before wrapping up his MLB-best 38th save in 42 opportunities.
Garcia, who with a stolen base in the second inning became the first Rangers player since 2011 with 25 homers and 25 stolen bases in the same season, left the game after initially walking to first base
Rangers interim manager Tony Beasley said the initial X-rays ”looked fine,” but that the slugger would be re-evaluated Saturday.
The Guardians trailed 2-1 before six hits and five runs off Taylor Hearn (6-8), who faced only seven batters after taking over to start the sixth.
Steven Kwan reached on a leadoff single in the Guardians sixth, and then there were five consecutive one-out hits. Jose Ramirez singled before Josh Naylor’s tying RBI double that ricocheted off the right-field wall. Oscar Gonzalez and Andres Gimenez followed with RBI singles before Brennan’s hit plated two runs for a 6-2 lead.
”All the things they told us, he’s ultra competitive,” Cleveland manager Terry Francona said of Brennan. ”He’s helping us win games. That was one thing I tried to explain to him. I said, `Don’t worry about your batting average here. You’re here two weeks.’ I said just help us win games, and he said I can do that.”
After hitting .314 with 13 homers and 107 RBIs in 129 games combined at Triple-A and Double-A this season, Brennan is 4-for-11 in the big leagues. He also had his first two stolen bases Friday night.
”It just takes maybe a little pressure off,” Brennan said. ”But coming up here to guys that I know and, you know, that I’m comfortable with in the locker room makes that much easier got out there and play and do my thing.”
GRAY AREA
Hearn took over for Jon Gray, who had limited the Guardians to one hit and an unearned run through five innings. But it was only the third start back for the team’s opening-day starter since coming off his third trip to the injured list this season; he was out Aug. 2 until Sept. 11 with a left oblique strain. The right-hander threw 87 pitches.
SAME TEAM, DIFFERENT NAME
Cleveland played in Texas for the first time since the 2021 regular-season finale, which was the team’s last game as the Indians before changing their name to the Guardians after 107 seasons. That was a 6-0 victory to finish 80-82, their only losing record in Francona’s 10 seasons, though their last division title was in 2018.
PLAWECKI’S PLAYS
The Rangers led 2-0 in the second after an RBI single by Kevin Plawecki, the veteran catcher designated for assignment by Boston last weekend and signed by the Rangers on Wednesday. The second run came home on that play on a wide throw by center fielder Myles Straw that got past catcher Luke Maile for an error.
Plawecki’s throwing error in the third when trying to get Naylor at second on a stolen base allowed Amed Rosario, who led off with a triple, to score.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rangers: RHP Joe Barlow (right index finger blister) was activated from the 15-day injured list. He pitched for only the second time since the All-Star break with one strikeout in a scoreless eighth. Barlow took the roster spot of left-hander Brett Martin, who was placed on the bereavement list.
UP NEXT
Right-hander Cal Quantrill (13-5, 3.56 ERA) has gone 9-0 over his last 14 starts since last losing July 5 – and the Guardians have won 13 of those games. Rookie right-hander Glenn Otto (6-9, 4.48 ERA) pitches for Texas on Saturday night.

The Chicago White Sox saw their slim postseason aspirations take a significant hit earlier this week after getting swept by the first-place team in the American League Central.
Chicago didn’t fare much better against the cellar dwellers of the division in the opener of a three-game series, either. The White Sox (76-75) will look to snap their four-game skid on Saturday night when they continue their series against the Detroit Tigers (58-92) in Chicago.
Chicago followed up its unceremonious sweep at the hands of Cleveland with a 5-3 setback versus Detroit on Friday night. The loss, coupled with the Guardians’ 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers, moved the White Sox eight games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central with 11 games remaining in the season.
While Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is aware of Chicago’s plight, he insists his team is motivated by stringing wins together toward the end of the season.
“We know where everybody is in the standings, and we know what they have gone through to get here,” Hinch said. “I don’t know the pulse of their team, but obviously we want to win as many series as we can toward the end of the year.”
White Sox acting manager Miguel Cairo is keeping optimistic that two-time All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson could return to the club this season. Anderson has been sidelined since sustaining a tear in his left middle finger on Aug. 6.
“But we’ve got to make sure he’s 100 percent,” Cairo said of a potential return for Anderson. “You don’t want to (aggravate) it. You’ve got to be 100 percent but of course I would like to see him lead off and be with our team and finish the season.”
Luis Robert remained out of the starting lineup for the third straight game while he addresses pain in his left wrist.
“He’s trying to see if he can go out there and do it without pain,” Cairo said. “He wants to play, and it’s not fun sitting on the bench and watching your teammates play. He wants to play.”
Chicago will send rookie Davis Martin (2-4, 3.78 ERA) to the mound on Saturday night against Detroit’s Drew Hutchison (2-9, 4.59) in a battle of right-handers.
Martin will face the Tigers for the second time in as many trips to the mound. He allowed one run on three hits in six innings of a no-decision in Detroit last Saturday.
Martin also secured his first major-league victory in his lone other appearance versus the Tigers. He scattered three hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings of a 13-0 romp in Detroit on June 15.
Hutchison, in turn, has struggled against the White Sox this season. He fell to 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in four appearances (three starts) versus Chicago after permitting six runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings of an 11-5 setback on Sunday.
Overall, he is 2-3 with a 4.87 ERA in nine career encounters (six starts) against the White Sox.

BOSTON (AP) — A soldier from Massachusetts who went missing during the Korean War and was later reported to have died in a prisoner of war camp has been accounted for using modern scientific techniques, military officials said.
Army Cpl. Joseph J. Puopolo, 19, of East Boston, was accounted for in August, according to a statement Friday from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
It was the news his family — including his now 99-year-old sister Elizabeth Fiorentini — has been awaiting for decades, Fiorentini’s grandson and Puopolo’s grandnephew, Richard Graham, said in a telephone interview Saturday.
“We have all heard about him, and we all knew of him, and we all knew he was a war hero. We always hoped we’d find him,” he said. “But I never thought my grandmother would be here for it.”
Fiorentini had not seen her brother since she was in her 20s, and had mixed reactions on hearing the news that his remains had been identified.
“In her mind it was like he died again,” Graham said.
Puopolo, an artilleryman with the 8th Army, was reported missing in action on Dec. 2, 1950, after his unit attempted to withdraw from Kunu-ri, North Korea, following the Battle of Ch’ongch’on, according to the military. Four former POWs reported in 1953 that Puopolo had died at a POW camp in February 1951.
After the war, the sides exchanged remains, but not all could be identified and those were buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, the agency said.
A set of previously unidentified remains were disinterred in December 2019, and identified as being those of Puopolo through dental and anthropological analysis, mitochondrial DNA analysis and circumstantial evidence, the agency said.
The family hopes to hold a burial service for Puopolo in another month or so either in a family plot in Malden or the veterans’ cemetery in Bourne, Graham said. Puopolo was one of six children, all of whom had large families of their own, and as many as 60 or 70 relatives might show.
“He has not been forgotten,” Graham said.

PHOENIX (AP) — Public school advocates who oppose a massive expansion of Arizona’s private school voucher system enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed into law by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey in July filed enough signatures Friday to block it from taking effect.
The law, which extends the program to every child in the state, will be on hold instead of taking effect Saturday. If a review finds that Save Our Schools Arizona has met the requirement for nearly 119,000 valid signatures — and if those signatures survive any court challenges filed by voucher backers — it will remain blocked until the November 2024 election.
Beth Lewis, executive director of the grassroots group formed when a similar expansion passed in 2017 and was successfully challenged at the polls, said Friday that the group turned in 141,714 signatures. That’s fewer than they hoped, since groups trying to refer laws to the voters or get initiatives on the ballot usually aim for at least a 25% cushion.
Voters rejected the earlier expansion by a 2/3 majority in the 2018 election.
Lewis put part of the blame on Ducey, who held onto the bill for 10 days after the Legislature adjourned, a move that cut the amount of time opponents had to collect signatures from 90 to 80 days.
“We definitely wish we would have had those 10 days that Ducey stole from the voters to build our cushion,” Lewis said. “But we have enough that we feel confident that with the validity of our signatures we can turn in and get through the processing and get it on the ballot.”
Voucher opponents say the program siphons money away from the state’s public schools, which have been underfunded for decades and educate the vast majority of the state’s students, although Ducey and the Legislature have pumped cash into the system over the past several years. Backers of the voucher program say it allows parents to choose the best school for their children. Ducey is a major “school choice” backer and touted the expansion at a ceremonial bill signing in August.
Supporters of the expansion of the state’s voucher program, technically called Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, organized to try to persuade voters not to sign the petitions. They showed up at signing events with “Decline to Sign” signs and called businesses to tell them petition circulators were in their parking lots.
Among those who back the expansion are national “school choice” groups like the American Federation for Children, founded and once led by Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education in the Trump Administration.
Scott Smith, a Republican former state senator who is now the state director for the AFC, said he expects “any and all” efforts to defeat the voter referendum, either in the courts or at the ballot box.
“Rest assured, whatever happens, I’m sure it’s safe to say myself and others and the parents will do whatever we can to protect their rights to educate their kids how they see best,” Smith said.
Under the state constitution, voters can block most laws passed by the Legislature by collecting signatures. To allow that, most new laws take effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns, which is the deadline for a referral.
Although about a third of Arizona students qualify for the existing voucher program — mainly those living in low-income areas — only about 12,000 students statewide currently use the system.
The expansion Ducey signed will let every parent in Arizona take public money now sent to the K-12 public school system and use it to pay for their children’s private school tuition, homeschool materials or other education costs.
Arizona already has the most expansive education options in the nation and will have the most comprehensive voucher system if the law takes effect.
An estimated 60,000 currently-enrolled private school students and about 38,000 homeschooled students would immediately be eligible for up to $7,000 per year, although a small number already get vouchers. All 1.1 million students who attend traditional district and charter schools would also qualify to leave their public schools and receive money to attend private schools.
Since the state education department opened a new portal for parents to apply under the universal eligibility law, more than 10,000 applications have been received.
Many parents of private school students currently get tuition money through one of several tax credit programs. That pays less, however, so many are likely to switch to a voucher.
Lewis and other opponents of the program say they worry that as much as $1 billion could be lost from the public school system funding. K-12 schools currently get about $8 billion a year in state funding.

Famous Nigerian Dj, Florence Otedola, who is popular as Dj Cuppy, has opened up about why she has remained single, saying that most men who come into her life are not looking for true love but after her father’s wealth.
Cuppy who is the daughter of billionaire business mogul, Femi Otedola, has not been lucky in her relationship in the past years but she said she was not worried about it as she has rather focused on her career and educational pursuit in order to become a woman she truly admires.
Cuppy who also hinted about her plan to go back to school to study Agriculture said it was not her fault that men have their eyes fixated on his dad’s influence, adding that anytime he engages a potential lover, the next question he asks is “When am I going to meet your dad?”
“Then I ask them why they are always talking about my dad and not focusing on me and what we are getting into. I wonder why they all focus on meeting my dad when we engage in any conversation. I am just curious as to why my dad’s name always comes into the conversation,” she queried.

For top real estate player, Akintayo Adarlegbe, the consistent winning and positive attention he keeps attracting may appear easy to the eyes but the accolades came as a result of hard work and resilience over the years.
The young entrepreneur’s humble beginning reinforces the notion that the destiny of a man is not entirely out of his hands and that anyone with determination can attain greatness in life.
At a time many of his contemporaries lament the effect of the economic downturn on their business and other interests, Adaralegbe, who is the founder of T.Pumpy Concept, a real estate company with head office in Abuja continues to count his blessings through the number of lives he has touched and impacted.
From empowering popular entertainers in both music and movie circles through mouth-watering endorsement deals to represent his brand to providing affordable landed properties and housing to many families across the country, Adaralegbe continues to prove that making life more meaningful for the people remains a winning strategy for him.
This explained why he was considered worthy of Real Estate Personality Award at the Global Excellence Recognition Awards among other recognitions which have come his way in the last one year.
Adaralegbe in a brief chat said he refused to be defined by the poverty of his childhood. Instead, he worked hard to give himself a better future by imbibing the entrepreneurial spirit of his parents and ensuring that every Nigerian becomes a house owner.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Marshawn Lloyd ran for a career-high 169 yards and three touchdowns as South Carolina scored on its first eight possessions to put away Charlotte 56-20 on Saturday night.
The win ended a two-game losing streak for the Gamecocks (2-2) — and was a welcome performance for an offense stuck near the bottom of the Southeastern Conference this season.
Lloyd had scoring runs of 25, 14 and 7 yards, the first two that left fans’ jaws dropped and Charlotte defenders in disbelief.
On the first, Lloyd cleanly hurdled safety Wayne Jones in the open field on the way to the end zone. On his second, Lloyd was stood up for what looked like a short gain before breaking free to put South Carolina ahead 28-14.
Lloyd had some help on the last, converting after Gamecocks linebacker Brad Johnson intercepted Charlotte’s Chris Reynolds deep in 49ers territory. Lloyd calmly found the end zone a final time and finished with South Carolina’s most rushing yards since Kevin Harris gained 182 against North Carolina in its 38-21 Duke’s Mayo Bowl victory last New Year’s Eve.
Charlotte (1-4) of Conference USA entered with the country’s 30th best passing attack at 289 yards a game and the one of the worst rushing defenses (129 out of 131) in the NCAA at 243 yards allowed per game. Both were evident at South Carolina.
The Gamecocks picked up 161 yards on the ground to score on all four of their first-half possessions. But the 49ers were largely on target behind sixth-year quarterback Chris Reynolds, converting their first seven third downs and throwing for 132 yards to keep things close at the half, 20-14.
South Carolina finished with a season-best 545 yards of offense.
The Gamecocks’ run of points each series ended when backup quarterback Luke Doty was intercepted by Jones — yes, the one who was hurdled by Lloyd — with 8:22 left in the game.
THE TAKEAWAY
Charlotte: The 49ers lost both Power Five games they’ve played this season, falling at Maryland, 56-21, before the South Carolina blowout. Charlotte has a face-paced attack behind Reynolds that had the Gamecocks defense on its heels in the first half. The school does leave with $1.4 million in guarantees for playing at Williams-Brice Stadium.
South Carolina: There are still plenty of things to fix for the Gamecocks. This is certainly a start to gaining confidence and momentum once they return to SEC play in two weeks. The offense was efficient and powerful and the defense, after a sluggish first half, got three second-half interceptions that South Carolina turned into points.
UP NEXT
Charlotte returns home to face UTEP on Saturday night.
South Carolina takes on FCS opponent South Carolina State on Saturday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Seattle Mariners have signed ace right-hander Luis Castillo to a five-year, $108 million contract extension that will keep him in Seattle through at least the 2027 season.
Both the club and Castillo have options for 2028 that could push the value of the deal to $133 million, the team announced Saturday afternoon.
The Mariners made a massive move at the trade deadline to acquire the 29-year-old Castillo from Cincinnati, sending four of their top prospects to the Reds.
Since joining Seattle on July 28, Castillo is 3-2 with a 2.83 ERA with 13 walks and 64 strikeouts in nine starts, helping the Mariners (82-68) to the cusp of their first playoff appearance since 2001.
“Luis has been one of the top pitchers in MLB over the past six seasons,” M’s president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said in a statement. “He is a dynamic power pitcher in the prime of his career with a track record of consistency.”
ESPN’s Jeff Passan first reported the deal Saturday. One notable detail: If Castillo undergoes elbow surgery on his right arm between 2025-27 that keeps him out for 130 days or more, the Mariners will receive a $5 million option for 2028, Passan reported.
The contract announcement is a welcome bit of good news for a club that is in the midst of its worst road trip of the season, having lost six of eight games on this 10-day swing entering Saturday’s game against the Royals in Kansas City.
Castillo is scheduled to start the series finale Sunday.
A two-time All-Star, Castillo has made 23 starts combined between Seattle and Cincinnati this season, going 7-6 with a 2.85 ERA with 41 walks and 154 strikeouts in 139 innings.
Castillo, a native of of Bani, Dominican Republic, was originally signed as an amateur free agent by the San Francisco Giants in 2011. In six MLB seasons, Castillo has made 146 career starts with Cincinnati (137) and Seattle (9), going 47-55 with a 3.57 ERA with 300 walks and 924 strikeouts in 846.1 innings.

September 25-th will be a day the city will never forget.
A community block party turned upside down ... no leads ... and an investigation that remains unsolved.
The founder of G.R.I.E.V.E .... Betty Battle ... says things like this can't keep happening she says it's time for more to be done.
“These families need answers, because if we don't fix it now we will have issues later on," said Battle.
Her quest to bring peace after violence is a mission that hits close to home for her as well.
“I am a grieving mother i know what it is to bury a 25-year-old shot by a 16-year-old,” she explained.
That's why she understands the pain that remains when families aren't able to get closure.
Battle believes if the community can lean on each other it may give someone the courage to come forward.
“I make a plea to the community, anyone that has any information no matter how small it is to come forward or either call the anonymous number and report what it is."
The grove street justice program along with the mayor's office has offered a 20-thousand dollar reward for information. but so far, it has been met with silence.
Battle says her organization is working to implement programs in schools .. and provide resources to help with conflict resolution. She says now ... the city just needs to put them into action.

Chinese teenager Zheng Qinwen extended her rise up the rankings Saturday by claiming a spot in her first Hologic WTA Tour singles final at the Toray Pan Pacific Open.
Zheng squeaked past 13th-ranked Veronika Kudermetova 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(3) in a match that took 3 hours and 4 minutes. The victory marks Zheng's fifth win over a Top 20 player in her career, all coming this season.
"After the match when I won the last point, the feeling was incredible," Zheng said. "The opponent, she's playing unbelievable tennis. She has a really good serve and hits the ball hard, she moves well.
"I'm so glad in the tiebreak I choose sometimes the right ball and made a good effort to win the match. It's my first time in the final. I'm so happy."
In Sunday's final, Zheng will meet Liudmila Samsonova, whose surge through the second half of the season continues with a trip to her third singles final of the year.
The World No.30 Samsonova defeated 28th-ranked Zhang Shuai 7-6(4), 6-2 in a hard-hitting semifinal to reach Sunday’s championship match in Tokyo. Samsonova is currently an undefeated 3-0 in WTA singles finals in her career.
A FIRST WTA final for Zheng Qinwen!! ✨

The 19-year-old comes from a set down against Kudermetova to join Samsonova in the Tokyo final!#TorayPPO pic.twitter.com/J9Xl6XsSHp
This time last year, Zheng was ranked outside of the Top 150, but the 19-year-old has repeatedly proved over the last 12 months that she can contend with the elite players on tour. This week has been no exception, as she ousted No.1 seed Paula Badosa in straight sets in the second round.
Zheng was tested Saturday by Kudermetova, who is in the Top 10 in the Race to this season's WTA Finals. Kudermetova came back from 4-1 down in the first set to take it, after holding break points in each of Zheng's service games.

However, Zheng leaped to another 4-1 lead in the second set and she held on to that advantage this time around, leveling the match at one set apiece. The pair moved into an intense third set, which was settled by a tiebreak after both players held serve all the way through.
In the decisive tiebreak, a volley winner gave Zheng the first mini-break at 3-2, which she followed up with two commanding service winners to lead 5-2. On Zheng's second match point at 6-3, Kudermetova fired a return long, and Zheng was into her first final.
Zheng is the second teenager to reach a final at WTA 500-level or higher this season, joining Coco Gauff, who reached the Roland Garros final at age 18.
Can anyone stop @LiudaSamsonova? 🔥
— wta (@WTA) September 24, 2022
Through to her third final in four tournaments with a straight-sets victory over Zhang in Tokyo!#TorayPPO pic.twitter.com/etcJ7sqhbn
As for Samsonova, she has won 17 of her last 18 matches, including two consecutive titles in Washington, D.C. and Cleveland. Her only loss since July came in the Round of 16 at the US Open, where she saw a 13-match winning streak snapped by Ajla Tomljanovic.
Samsonova fired 40 winners in Saturday's 1-hour and 27-minute semifinal, well outpacing her 25 unforced errors. Thirteen of those winners were aces, which gives her a total of 34 in her four victories this week.
After an early exchange of breaks, Samsonova and Zhang settled into a rhythm of fast-paced groundstrokes as they moved inexorably into a first-set tiebreak.
Samsonova took command with fiery forehands down the stretch of the breaker to reach set point at 6-4, which the powerful server converted with her seventh ace of the set.
Zhang had three game points for a 2-0 lead in the second set, but Samsonova returned to top gear from there, with her high-octane game garnering her an immediate break back. Samsonova cruised through the rest of the affair, winning the final four games of the clash.
"I’m feeling so happy because I’m in another final in [the last] two months," Samsonova said in her post-match press conference. "It’s amazing. I never think it’s going to be possible, something like this, so I’m incredibly happy."
Looking ahead to the final, Zheng leads Samsonova 1-0 in their head-to-head. As a qualifier, Zheng surprised second-seeded Samsonova in the first round of Palermo on clay last year.

Family of missing Chicago woman Kierra Coles marks her 30th birthday
CHICAGO - On Saturday, the family of missing Chicago woman Kierra Coles marked her 30th birthday.
Coles disappeared almost 4 years ago, on October 2, 2018. She was pregnant at the time. She reportedly went to withdraw $400 from an ATM, and her car was driven back home, but police said Coles was not inside.
"Every year, I pray I don’t have to do this again, but here I am doing it again and there still will be no answers after this," said her mother, Karen Phillips, at the event in Pilsen on Saturday.

Coles is described as a 5-foot-4, 125-pound black woman with brown eyes, black hair and a medium brown complexion, police said. She has a tattoo of a heart on her right hand and one that reads "Lucky Libra" on her back.
Police have said they suspect she is the victim of foul play. They said her case remains a high-risk missing persons investigation.
There is a $25,000 reward for answers.

In this now apparently forever-drought, those of us lucky enough to have yards can, with a little work — OK, a lot of work — also be lucky enough to have genuine gardens.
California places filled with plants, with fruit trees, with vegetable patches, with flowers, with maybe a little sinful lawn to walk barefoot in the park on.
Being in California, they can be green all the seasons of the year, although Americans who think our state “doesn’t really have seasons” have no idea what they are talking about. They’re the kind who show up in shorts and T-shirts for the Rose Parade. Poorly dressed, there’s no cold winter morning like a Southern California winter morning.
But the Connecticut-turf days of California gardening are officially gone forever. Unless you’re using your tiny lawn daily, there’s no reason in the world for it. Plus, the new irrigation restrictions that went into place this month are going to leave it brown instead of green unless you relish a visit from the Water Cops after your neighbors snitch on you.
This one-day-a-week business for the sprinklers — Tuesdays, in my case — is a big blow to even the formerly happy camellias.
So, if you’re like me, you walk around your neighborhood and look for tips, for ways that you could replace some of the water-hogging plant materials you have with something a little more 21st century.
While I appreciate the efforts of those who have gone that route, I’m sorry, but I can’t go full xeriscape. I also can’t get into more hardscape — heat islands! — or, as one neighbor has done for years, a half-acre of bare dirt. Not DG — just stuff that gets muddy during the odd rainstorm.
I do need to move toward more native plantings. But I can’t handle the large gardens that are only wood chips pockmarked with thorny bushes through which a person never could walk without coming back bloodied. And anyway, with a tiny cottage, we use the yard. We live in it as much as in the house. There has to be room for tables to be set up, for instance, because a large party is not going to fit indoors. Can’t do that over the six-foot scratchy bushes.
Along with borrowing ideas from the amateur neighbors, there is of course here in the San Gabriel Valley the wonderful and powerful examples available at two brilliant horticultural wonders, the Arboretum in Arcadia and Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. Just walk around and take notes, or attend the classes offered by professional landscape experts, and you and your yard — and California’s limited water resources — will be the better for it.
But ever since the late — how I miss them both! — Betty and Kicker McKenney looked out the window of their Pasadena condo at a huge empty lot that once was slated to be in the path of the stupid, now-defunct 710 Freeway extension two decades ago and decided to transform it into a Mediterrean garden, there has been a great third place to go, relax, stroll among the landscaping and get some great ideas for your own little patch of land.
You can go there for free any daylight time, on Arlington just east of South Orange Grove Boulevard. But this month, as we change into fall after the blistering summer, you can also help support it.
From the press release: “Arlington Garden, the only free Mediterranean climate habitat garden in Pasadena, is celebrating its 17th anniversary with Autumn in the Garden on Sunday, September 25th. The event will honor inspirational members of the Arlington Garden community including Pasadena City Councilmember Steve Madison, businessman and philanthropist Bob Bozzani, and Arlington’s garden designer, Mayita Dinos.
The main Autumn in the Garden (5-7:30 p.m.) event will feature live music curated by sound experiences producer Floating and dublab. Attendees are invited to socialize in the garden during the twilight hours, listen to music and enjoy food from local dumpling artisans Dina’s Dumplings and wine from Wenzlau Vineyard. Awards will be presented at a special VIP reception held before the event from 4 to 5 p.m.”
You can go to the EventBrite website to buy tickets for the garden bash that supports Arlington’s work to stay, as Michelle Matthews, Arlington’s executive director says, “a landmark of healthy habitat and living soil that is a leader in landscaping for climate change.”

Business leaders are not talking about a second independence referendum, says CBI chief
Business leaders are not talking about Nicola Sturgeon's plans for a second independence referendum next year and are focused on "almost everything else", according to the head of the Confederation of British Industry.
Tony Danker said he had not met a business leader who thinks "this is a really front-of-mind issue".
It came as he issued a plea to the First Minister to work better with business leaders, insisting there "isn't enough" dialogue.
Sturgeon wants to hold a referendum in October next year, but the UK Government has refused to agree to this.
A Supreme Court battle is due to take place next month over whether Holyrood has the power to legislate for another vote without UK approval.
Asked if it was the right time for the Scottish Government to be pushing ahead with plans for another vote, Danker said: "I have to tell you, I really don't think about it, and the members that I speak to here in Scotland aren't talking about it.
"People are talking about two questions only. One, what are we going to do about the short-term energy and economic crisis?
"And two, how on earth do we in Scotland or we in the UK grow our economy? By the way, that will be doubly important now that we're about to take out a lot of government debt.
"The only way you can take out that amount of government debt is because you've got a credible plan to repay it.
"So I understand why it's such a dominant political issue, but it's just not an issue for business leaders right now. They are focused on almost everything else."
Danker, who was speaking to Scotland on Sunday before news emerged of the Queen's death, said the issue of a second independence referendum "hasn't come up" in conversations with business leaders.
Asked if he thought constitutional uncertainty in Scotland had any impact on the business community, he said: "I understand why you're asking it, and if you'd asked me about it a few years ago, of course it would have been top of mind for everybody.
"I haven't met a business leader, and I don't think I'll meet one today, who thinks this is a really front-of-mind issue."
Elsewhere, Danker, the director-general of the CBI, backed moves to push ahead with more oil and gas exploration licenses.
Secretary of state for energy Jacob Rees-Mogg confirmed on Thursday the UK Government would support more than 100 licences for companies to explore for more fossil fuels in the North Sea, as well as lifting the moratorium on shale gas drilling in England.
But environmental campaigners, led by Greenpeace, have threatened legal action over the plans, which have been described as “denying the reality of the climate emergency”.
Danker said it was "realistic and pragmatic" to go ahead with extra exploration licences, but stressed "plan A" was still moving to clean energy.
He said nobody doubted the critical role that oil and gas would play in the transition, adding: “And so yes, it’s completely understandable and I would be supportive of those actions, because we’re trying to create a transition here.
"The only thing I would say is that shouldn’t be plan A. Plan A is still Britain becoming, in fact, and it’s at the heart of our growth story, the world's leading country for clean energy.”
Danker said oil and gas was not the long-term answer.
A Scottish Government spokesman said: “There is a democratic mandate from the people of Scotland for an independence referendum.
"The UK economy already delivers low productivity, stagnant wages and high inequality compared to many of our EU neighbours, and its relative performance is likely to deteriorate further as the negative effects of Brexit become more apparent.
“In addition to giving the opportunity to re-join the EU and a market seven times bigger than the UK, the full powers of independence would enable the creation of an economy that works better for all people and businesses, allowing Scotland to match the higher productivity, higher incomes and lower inequality achieved by comparable independent European countries.”

St Andrews success and Dunhill delight lifts Russell Chrystie's "depression"
He’s English to the core but now lives in St Andrews, has just recorded his first professional win in golf’s cradle and will be rubbing shoulders with some of the game’s superstars in the Auld Grey Toun next week.
Step foward Russell Chrystie, a 28-year-old from Crawley who, by his own admission, felt in a state of “depression” a few weeks back and is still weighing up whether or not to continue pursuing a playing career but is suddenly feeling golf is good again.
Helped by a 10-under-par 61 over the New Course, he won the 36-hole St Andrews Classic, the latest event on Paul Lawrie’s Tartan Pro Tour, on Tuesday then, the following day, he’d been added to the field for next week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
“It’s a nice bonus,” admitted Christie of securing an invitation that will see him tee up in the $5 million pro-am, which takes place at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, in what could be its strongest-ever field.
World No 2 Rory McIlroy and US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick are headlining a cast that also includes Shane Lowry, Billy Horschel, Tommy Fleetwood, Francesco Molinari and Patrick Reed.
“I was waiting on emails to confirm whether I was in or not,” added a chirpy Chrystie. “It was looking doubtful, but I guess that Tuesday helped my case.”
Chrystie gave up a well-paid job - “I was managing 40 drivers and had a salary that someone at 20-year-old probably couldn’t even dream about” - to carve out a career in golf.
He worked as a caddie at Queenwood in England, Old Collier in Florida then, after moving to Fife with his girlfriend, for the Links Trust in St Andrews, building up a network of contacts and backers along the way that provided the platform for a shot at playing himself.
“This year has been a strange one for me as I hadn’t hit a shot or played a tournament in five weeks before my win,” admitted Chrystie. “A lot of different opportunites have come up recently and I’ve been trying to think about exploring them potentially because this game is so hard that I have let it get to me.
“I spent the first couple of weeks of my break almost in a state of depression, really. I was lazing around and couldn’t find any motivation. I was eating unhealthily and ended up really slacking.
“But, after being away with my girlfriend, I came back feeling refreshed. If I am being honest, I am still quesiniong whether I want to do this and if I actually enjoy it. But this (his win) is awesome as it only helps to make me believe I can shoot the scores I thought I had in me.”
As he’s competing in the Dunhill Links, the next event on the Tartan Pro Tour, set up by Lawie two years ago to provide more playing opportunities for Scottish-based professionals, will be taking place at Ladybank.
“It’s for the players and there’s no question that Paul has done an amazing job,” observed Chrystie. “He must have thought I was nuts, but I remember being at a EuroPro Tour event and I legged it over so that I could thank him for what he was doing because it’s been a great thing.“

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The LSU defense held New Mexico to 88 total yards and the Tigers survived an injury scare to starting quarterback Jayden Daniels in a 38-0 victory Saturday night at Tiger Stadium.
“Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a habit,” LSU head coach Brian Kelly said. “Three wins in a row. Our guys are building good habits.”
While the defense helped propel the Tigers (3-1, 1-0 SEC) to their first shutout victory since 2018, LSU did see Daniels exit the game in the third quarter with an injury.
Scrambling for 16 yards on a fourth-down play, Daniels was slammed to the ground by AJ Haulcy and Dion Hunter. He didn’t return to the game.
Kelly said Daniels could have gone back into the game.
“Strained his lower back,” Kelly said. “He could have went back in, but there was no need at that time of the game. He was cleared by the doctors, he was good.”
Before exiting the game, Daniels had one of his most efficient efforts thus far, completing 24 of 29 passes for 279 yards.
The LSU offense got going on its opening drive, marching 57 yards in eight plays, culminating with a 5-yard touchdown run by Armoni Goodwin for a 7-0 lead. After a 31-yard field goal by Damian Ramos made it 10-0, Daniels led LSU on a methodical, 15-play, 88-yard drive with Goodwin capping things off with a 1-yard touchdown run to make it 17-0.
Averaging 27.3 points coming into the game, New Mexico (2-2) struggled to develop any sort of rhythm offensively, crossing midfield only once.
“It’s difficult to shut out anybody in football,” Kelly said. “College football is set up for success on offense. Had to juggle the lineup defensively and the guys really rallied. It was pretty clear that they were going to have a difficult time moving the football on us. Our game plan was excellent.”
Lobos senior quarterback Miles Kendrick completed only 5 of 7 passes for 47 yards. Nate Jones led the Lobos with 33 yards rushing on eight carries and Jaden Hullaby had the biggest play of the night for New Mexico when he hauled in a 38-yard pass from Kendrick that moved the ball to the LSU 38-yard line — its deepest penetration of the night.
Sacking Perkins four times on the night as a unit, freshman linebacker Harold Perkins led LSU defensively with eight tackles.
Sophomore Garrett Nussemeier replaced Daniels in the third quarter, leading the Tigers to three touchdown drives to put the game away.
Transfer Noah Cain had touchdown runs of 49 and 1 yard. Nussemeier connected with Brian Thomas for a 57-yard touchdown to make it 38-0.
THE TAKEAWAY
New Mexico: The Lobos fell to 1-14 all-time in games against Southeastern Conference schools. New Mexico’s lone win against an SEC team came in 2005 when they defeated Missouri 45-35 in Columbia, when the Tigers were a member of the Big 12. Missouri joined the SEC in 2011.
LSU: Playing with the same starting lineup on the offensive line for the first time this season, LSU dominated the game statistically, but saw a pair of touchdowns negated by penalties in the first half.
UP NEXT
New Mexico: The Lobos travel to play UNLV on Sept. 30.
LSU: The Tigers hit the road to take on Auburn on Oct. 1.

Marquette men’s soccer got outshot 17-8 on Saturday night in Cincinnati, including a very not okay 11-3 in the first half.
DOESN’T MATTER, because the Golden Eagles came away from their Big East league opener against #19 ranked and undefeated Xavier with a 0-0 draw! Marquette is now 4-3-1 on the year and 0-0-1 in league action, while Xavier goes to 6-0-3 and 0-0-2.
Is there a lot to say about this game? Not really! While the Golden Eagles did get outshot, they did limit Xavier to just four shots on goal across all 90 minutes, and keeper Chandler Hallwood, fresh off his red card suspension, stopped all four to pick up the shutout. The Golden Eagles managed just two shots on goal all match long, one in each half. This shot by Beto Soto was the lone SOG in the second half for Marquette, and that happened waaaay back in the 57th minute.
57' | Soto comes thiiiiis close to breaking the scoreless drought. Still even midway through the second half.

A lot of good and fun things happened at the McGuire Center on Saturday night.
- #19 Marquette volleyball defeated Butler, 3-1
- The win moved Marquette to 11-1 on the season, which is the best start to a season since the program joined Division 1 in 1986.
- The win also moved Marquette to 2-0 in Big East play and kept the Golden Eagles in first place in the league. MU is now sharing first place with Seton Hall and St. John’s, who are both 2-0, along with Creighton and Xavier to a certain extent who are 1-0 after Friday night’s action.
- The win extended Marquette’s winning streak to nine straight matches as well as keeping MU a perfect 8-0 at home this season.
- Sophomore setter Yadhira Anchante posted a career high 10 kills along with 46 assists and 13 digs for her first NCAA triple-double.
- Butler scored just eight points in the third set, marking the first time this season that an opponent failed to crack double digits against the Golden Eagles.
I like good and fun things.
It looked like Marquette was going to speed through Butler as the first set went along. A 7-3 lead turned into 11-5, and then late, Marquette ripped off six straight points to go up 21-10 on their way to a 25-12 win. That sensation wore off early in the second as the Golden Eagles couldn’t get their act together. Butler took a couple of early three point leads, forcing Marquette to score four straight to tie it at 13 and then three straight to tie it at 17. The Bulldogs responded with five of the next six points, and while MU was able to get within one at 23-22, kills from Amina Shackelford and Megan Sheridan informed everyone that this wouldn’t be a sweep.
Marquette apparently took that personally, jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the third set. The lead boomed to nine at 12-3 and then 19-5 on a kill by Jenna Reitsma. As you probably remember, this is the third set where BU only managed eight points by the end. Even with that being the case, Marquette scored six of the final seven points of the set on the way to a 25-8 win.
It was 3-1 and 5-2 in MU’s favor early in the fourth, but the Golden Eagles couldn’t quite put their arms around controlling that set. The Bulldogs would tie it up at 11 and then a 6-0 run on their end of things made it 17-13. That’s definitely not what Marquette wanted to see after rolling through Butler in the third, but it is what happened. That woke Marquette up, though. They answered with a 7-0 run that turned into 10-1 and then 12-2 as Ella Holmstrom laid down the set and match winning kill at 25-19 in the fourth set.
Anchante maybe had the best overall night, but Jenna Reitsma had a match high 13 kills and hit .367 to go with 15 digs on the night. Aubrey Hamilton also posted a double-double on 11 kills and 11 digs, while Ella Foti had a very good 10 digs to go next to her seven kills. Still, it was Carly Skrabak leading MU’s reception play with 19 of the team’s 79 digs on the night.
How about some highlights, courtesy of GoMarquette.com and FloSports?
Up Next: Marquette still has two matches left on their current 10 match homestand! They’ll have a pair of home dates next weekend to wrap it up. First up is Connecticut (6-7, 0-2 Big East), with start time set for 7pm Central, while the match against Providence (8-6, 0-2 Big East) on Saturday, October 1, will start at 6pm Central.

Nobody wants to talk about Madhu at Mukkali, a discreet junction in Kerala's Palakkad district spoken only as the entry point to the Silent Valley National Park. That's natural because it was at this unobtrusive junction that the tribal youth was last seen alive, over four years ago.
Madhu was captured from a cave in the forest and allegedly beaten up by a group of local people and paraded to Mukkali with his arms tied up. Then he was handed over to the police. The young man, who had mental health issues, died on the way and was declared brought dead by the government hospital at Agali. That was on February 22, 2018.
As we approach the end of September 2022, the trial in the lynching case is progressing. The special court at Mannarkkad, a municipal town some 20 km down Mukkali, has been witnessing what one can only term a hostile spree. Of the 60-odd prosecution witnesses tried, nearly 25 have turned hostile so far, casting doubts over the fate of the case. The prosecution claims the witnesses have been influenced and lured with money while the defence says they are finally saying the truth. No wonder, Mukkali, home to the 16 accused, reverberates with this defence argument.
Team Onmanorama had visited Attappady (Mukkali and Agali are part of this largest tribal belt in Palakkad district) soon after the lynching incident. The recent revisit gave us a ‘Churuli’ experience. Unlike in the film, the people there did not use foul language uncontrollably. However, the story changes upside down the moment you step into Mukkali and move forward to Agali. Or rather, Attappady has, in its cold air and calm tenor, two versions of the lynching story. An outsider can either take sides, seek the truth, or get lost in the vortex of the differing narratives.
At Chindakki
Reaching Chindakki, the tribal hamlet where Madhu lived with his family until he left home for the forests nearby, was a difficult task during the days after his tragic death. One had to endure an off-road experience and walk a little bit to reach Madhu’s home. Four years later, the road along the Bhavani river has been fixed with tiles paved neatly. But at Chindakki, Madhu’s mother Malli and sister Sarasu live in the same home. A government noting on the wall reads, “House maintenance (2015-16), ITDP, Agali, Malli w/o Mallan”. ITDP is the abbreviation of the Integrated Tribal Development Project.
Madhu’s other sister Chandrika and her husband, both in the state police force, live separately from the family in another place. Both Malli and Sarasu are anganwadi workers.
Frequent interactions with the media and the government system have taught Sarasu to speak in, what is considered, a formal language. “It has been more than four years since Madhu died. The trial started four years after the incident. The accused are much more powerful and rich compared to us. They made use of the delay in beginning the trial to influence the witnesses, including our own people. For example, Chandran is our relative who used to be with us. Even he changed his statement in court. Now, we feel that he had been with the accused from the beginning,” Sarasu told Onmanorama.
She said some of the witnesses who turned hostile had demanded Rs 50,000 from them to stand by their statement. “I think they asked for money from us because they might have been offered more money by the accused. We can’t even afford to buy tea for those who stand by us. Then how can we pay such hefty amounts,” she asked.
Did police kill Madhu?
The defence argues that Madhu was killed not by the accused but by the police who took him to the station. They also cite their own reasonings to support their claim. They say Madhu was all smiles and waving hands while the local people handed over him to the police. “Normally, it takes half an hour to reach Agali from Mukkali. But the police took more than an hour to cover the same distance. What happened in between the extra one hour? That’s why we believe the police have something to cover up in the case,” a local politician, in his 60s, at Mukkali told Onmanorama on condition of anonymity.
Team Onmanorama heard this version of the story multiple times from local people as well as defence lawyers. “This is a clear case of the perpetrators of a crime investigating a case against themselves. The police will have to answer some crucial questions as the trial progresses,” a senior defence lawyer told Onmanorama.
Asked why did the accused not file any counter-petition seeking a probe into the police’s role in the crime as they allege, the lawyer said, “We won’t do that. It’s up to the prosecution to prove the charges they have made. Let them do it.”
Madhu’s kin don’t buy the argument
Asked about the local people’s allegation against the police, Sarasu said they didn’t believe it. They also used to demand a probe into the alleged role of the police, but not anymore. “We have full faith in the outcome of the investigation. It was not the police who trespassed into the forest and caught Madhu from his cave. Madhu was beaten up and dragged like a dog. I had seen the full video of the incident. Some people used to tell us Madhu was beaten up by the police while being taken to the station. Then I asked them to bring some witnesses to us. We believe their intention was not to help us,” Sarasu said.
Sitting next to Sarasu, Malli said their relationship with the local people has been not good since her son’s death. “We don’t stay at Mukkali for long. Every time we pass by, we see a change in people’s faces. We go to Kakkupadi and Kalkandi to even buy groceries,” she said.
Another supporting claim made by the local people is that the police had instructed them to catch hold of Madhu if they get a chance. There were many complaints of theft against him. He was also believed to be a tool in the hands of some Maoists who used to camp inside the forests. Onmanorama reported all these allegations in 2018.
A government official, whose name and department are withheld for protecting his identity, told Onmanorama that police wanted the local people to catch Madhu if they get a chance.
Action council demand CBI probe
The Attappady Adivasi Action Council, a collective of tribal activists, is also not happy with the police investigation. They suspect the role of the police and some forest officials behind the whole incident. “The police should have been arraigned as accused in this case. That has not happened. So we have been demanding a high-level inquiry by the CBI,” Murugan, a leader of the action council, told Onmanorama as we met him at his house in Vattulukki, another tribal hamlet some 30 km from Chindakki. He said Madhu’s family may have been saying they are happy with the probe because they don’t want to invite more trouble. Murugan said they have some apprehensions about the fate of the case in its current trajectory.
Special public prosecutor Rajesh Menon, however, exuded confidence that the accused will be punished. Asked about the allegations against the police, he said the defence side will continue to raise such charges till the end of the case.
Malli and Sarasu are also hopeful that Madhu would get justice. The world around them, meanwhile, is divided.

No.30 Liudmila Samsonova captured her fourth career title at the Toray Pan Pacific Open, defeating No.36 Zheng Qinwen 7-5, 7-5 in Sunday's final.
The victory is Samsonova's 18th in her last 19 matches. The 23-year-old has now won three tournaments over that span, having picked up back-to-back titles in Washington D.C. and Cleveland in August. She will rise to a new career-high ranking just outside the Top 20 on Monday.
Samsonova maintained her undefeated record in Hologic WTA Tour finals with another masterful serving performance. Going into Sunday, Samsonova led the tour in service game win percentage, posting an 81.5% hold rate this season. With wins over Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, Zhang Shuai, Garbiñe Muguruza, and Wang Xinyu and Zheng, Samsonova lost serve just six times in Tokyo.
How the match was won: Clinical offense was the story of the opening set, as both players managed their service games to trade 10 consecutive holds to open the match. Serving at deuce at 5-5, Zheng struck her first double-fault of the match to give Samsonova her first break point opportunity. Samsonova coolly converted with two line-skipping forehands and served out the set after 57 minutes.
Samsonova finished the first set with 14 winners to nine unforced errors, while Zheng hit 11 winners to 10 unforced errors.
After breaking Zheng for a second time to lead 3-2 in the second set, Samsonova played her first tight game of the match to give Zheng an opportunity to break back. Zheng finally broke through the Samsonova serve for the first time to get back on serve at 3-3.
But in a redux of the first set, Samsonova capitalized in the 5-5 game to break Zheng and closed out the win with a service hold at love.

— wta (@WTA) September 25, 2022
"It was a really tough match because huge congrats to Qinwen and her team because she's playing amazing. Seriously, congrats guys. It was a nervous match today. We were fighting every point. It was tough."
Zheng out-aced Samsonova nine to four, but Samsonova held the edge from the baseline. Samsonova held Zheng to just 8 winners from the baseline. She finished with 21 winners to 27 unforced errors, while Zheng hit 17 total winners - aces included - to 28 unforced errors.
Stat of the day: Samsonova is now 18-1 in her last 19 matches, with 16 of those 18 wins coming in straight sets. Two of her titles this season have been won without dropping a set, first in Cleveland and now Tokyo.
Zheng continues her climb: Despite the loss, Zheng enjoyed a standout week in Tokyo, where she became the first Chinese teenager to ever reach a WTA singles final. Her win over top seed Paula Badosa in the second round was her first completed Top 10 win. Following Coco Gauff's run to the French Open final, Zheng became the second teenager to make a WTA 500-level or higher final this season.
On Monday, she will become the first Chinese teenager to crack the Top 30.

Offense gets a D and rest C's for Arkansas football in loss to Texas A&M
ARLINGTON, Texas — For a second straight week, Arkansas football played a nailbiter. But unlike last week, Arkansas couldn't complete the comeback against Texas A&M. The No. 10 Razorbacks fell to the No. 20 Aggies 23-21 at AT&T Stadium on Saturday night.
Arkansas (3-1, 1-1 SEC) got off to a strong start on both sides of the ball, but Texas A&M (3-1, 1-0) took advantage of costly mistakes after the first quarter to get the win.
Here's how we're grading the Razorbacks' performance.
TAKEAWAYS:Arkansas football drops heartbreaker to Texas A&M for first loss of 2022 season
CRAZY PLAY:See Texas A&M's wild scoop and score on Arkansas football fumble
Offense: D
After jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on a pair of long touchdown passes, Arkansas' offense struggled to put together drives. After quarterback KJ Jefferson's costly second-quarter fumble near the goal line, Arkansas punted on its next three drives. The Razorbacks only scored once more.
Defense: C
Missed tackles plagued Arkansas again Saturday, as did poor play in the secondary. The defense held up in the first quarter, holding the Aggies scoreless and getting a sack. But after that, Arkansas' defense made a Texas A&M offense that was sluggish in its first three games look good. Almost 75% of the Aggies' offensive yardage came on chunk plays of 10 yards or more.
Special teams: C
Freshman punter Max Fletcher had another lackluster performance. His average on six punts was 36.3 yards. On the receiving end, punt returner Bryce Stephens muffed a punt early. Luckily for Arkansas, freshman Quincey McAdoo recovered the fumble to avoid the turnover. But the killer on special teams was the missed 42-yard field goal from the usually reliable Cam Little. It would have given Arkansas a one-point lead with 1:30 to play.
Coaching: C
Most of the game's biggest plays weren't a result of any particular coaching decisions, but there were some baffling play calls. Arkansas tried three trick plays, none of which had the intended effect. One of them, a double-pass that led to a sack of receiver Jadon Haselwood, went for a 5-yard loss.
Overall: C
Arkansas' offense struggled from the second quarter onward, and the defense couldn't seem to stop the league's least effective offense. It was an uninspiring performance on both sides that gave Arkansas its first loss of what is shaping up to be a tough schedule.

SALEM, Ore. — Some Oregon parks officials say high demand for crowded campsites is leading to arguments, fistfights and even so-called “campsite pirates.”
Brian Carroll with Linn County Parks and Recreation said park rangers have had to play mediator this summer as would-be campers argue over first-come, first-served campsites at Sunnyside County Park, the Statesman-Journal reported Friday.
“People were literally fighting over campsites,” said Carroll. “What we experienced this year was certainly a general level of increased frustration and anxiety of people not being able to get their campsite. There seems to be less general common courtesy going on.”
Tensions also escalated over reserved campsites, with some recreationists wrongly claiming already-reserved sites by tearing off the reservation tags and replacing them with their own, prompting the nickname “campsite pirates.” The original parties end up angry and confused when they arrive to find their campsite occupied. The practice isn't common, but it's happening more than it used to, Carroll said.
“In the past, it was extremely rare,” he said. “Have there been disputes? Yeah, you know that happened previously. But like I said, not on the scale that we saw this year.”
Sunnyside County Park isn't the only place experiencing such woes. Earlier this year, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department said it would seek legislation to give rangers added protection because of the increasing level of assaults and harassment targeting rangers.
“Traditionally about 1% of our visitors really struggle with complying to rules and regulations,” said Dennis Benson, recreation manager for Deschutes National Forest. “Now, we’ve got more like 10% of the population that doesn’t comply or adhere with rules, regulations, those kinds of things, which is lending itself to more problematic behaviors on public lands.”
Oregon's state park system has opened just three new campgrounds since 1972, though the state's population has increased dramatically.
Last year, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department set records for its total numbers of visitors — an estimated 53.6 million day visits and 3.02 million campers who stayed overnight. This year’s numbers are about the same, state Parks and Recreation Department associate director Chris Havel said.
“This summer we’ve been extremely busy, at 96% to 98% capacity, which basically means you might find a night here or there, but basically everything is taken,” Havel said. “What we’re noticing again this year is that it’s a lot of people new to camping and the outdoors in general. In other words, the trend that we saw start during the pandemic of people coming out for the first time is continuing, and that means we’re going to stay busy.”

CHENEY, Wash. — In a seesaw battle, the Eastern Washington Eagles were sunk by two late game turnovers today as they lost to Montana State 38-35 at Roos Field.
The Eags took a 35-31 lead with nine minutes to play on a Gunner Talkington touchdown pass to Nolan Ulm.
On the ensuing Montana State drive, quarterback Sean Chambers would be intercepted by Jaren Banks in the end zone with 3:52 to go in the game.
Chambers was thrust into duty after Montana State's starting quarterback Tommy Mellott took a nasty hit to his head in the first quarter which forced him to leave the game.
Following Banks's interception, EWU began their drive with a run play to Micah Smith, who fumbled the ball. It was recovered by Montana State and two plays later, Chambers scored on a rushing touchdown to put the Bobcats up 38-35.
On fourth and long on the ensuing EWU drive, Talkington hit Ulm deep downfield, but the ball was wrestled away from him and was deemed an interception by Danny Uluilakepa to seal the game.
EWU head coach Aaron Best was nonetheless proud of his team's fight today.
"It's tough one. They played really well after playing not so well down in Eugene. I have a ton of respect, love and backing for this team regardless of the side of the scoreboard we were on today," Best said.
It does not get any easier for EWU next week. They will travel to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to take on an angry Florida Gators team. That game is set to kick off at 9 AM local time.

Starlett Frenchie is well known for her chicken noodle soup. And apparently, everyone on her staff at Hamilton Elementary has tasted her delicious meals. “In order to build community with her staff, she cooks for them on a regular basis,” said Dr. Alice Roach, a former colleague and current administrator for the Parsons Blewett Memorial Fund.
Frenchie confirmed her habit of bringing to school an air fryer, several George Foreman Grills and crockpots full of soup for her teachers and staff. “It’s nice to do something to make people feel special and it doesn’t cost a lot.” During her 21 years in education, and 13 years as the principal at Hamilton, Frenchie said she’s learned what it takes to bring people together and make a difference. “You have to be a servant leader and work alongside people, especially at a time when educators are feeling devalued.”

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Jordan Addison caught a go-ahead 21-yard touchdown pass with 1:13 left and No. 7 USC overcame a shaky performance for a 17-14 victory over Oregon State on Saturday night.
The Beavers, vying to start 4-0 for the first time since 2012, took the lead on Jam Griffin’s 18-yard touchdown run with 4:41 remaining. But USC quarterback Caleb Williams led an 11-play, 84-yard drive that ended with Addison’s sixth touchdown catch of the season.
The Trojans (4-0, 2-0 Pac-12) did not look like the team that dominated its first three opponents with 40 or more points per game. Williams threw for a season-low 180 yards. Addison, the 2021 Biletnikoff Award winner who transferred from Pitt, caught three passes for 42 yards.
Chance Nolan threw for 167 yards for the Beavers (3-1, 0-1) but was intercepted four times.
The Trojans were uncharacteristically sluggish from the start. Oregon State stopped USC on downs on its opening series. On the second drive, Denis Lynch’s 36-yard field goal attempt went wide left.
Deshaun Fenwick’s 4-yard touchdown run put the Beavers up 7-0 early in the second quarter. It was his fourth TD of the season.
Oregon State appeared headed back to the end zone but Nolan was intercepted by Erik Gentry. The Trojans capitalized, going 41 yards on seven plays and finishing with Lynch’s 42-yard field goal to narrow it to 7-3 at halftime.
Kitan Oladapo sacked Williams on third down for a loss of 11 yards, stalling a USC drive on the Oregon State 45 and forcing a punt.
But USC answered. Nolan was intercepted by Ceyair Wright, who ran it back to the Oregon State 26. The Trojans finished the drive with Travis Dye’s 7-yard scoring run to put USC back in front 10-7.
Oregon State was called for a pair of penalties on the ensuing drive and Everett Hayes’ 46-yard field goal attempt to tie it with 8:34 to go went right.
Oregon State benefited with good field position from USC’s punt out of the end zone, and Griffin rushed 18 yards for a touchdown that gave the Beavers back the lead with 4:41 to go.
After Addison’s touchdown catch, the Beavers’ final drive ended with another USC interception.
No. 13 Utah 34
Arizona St. 13
TEMPE, Ariz. — Cameron Rising threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns to tight end Dalton Kincaid, and Utah rolled past Arizona State.
The Utes spoiled the debut of Arizona State’s Shaun Aguano, who was named interim coach earlier this week after Herm Edwards was fired following last weekend’s loss to Eastern Michigan.
Utah (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) won its third straight since a season-opening loss to Florida. Arizona State (1-3, 0-1) lost its third in a row.
Utah never trailed, jumping ahead 7-0 in the first quarter when Rising hit Kincaid for a wide-open 29-yard touchdown. The Rising-Kincaid connection hooked up again later in the first quarter when Kincaid made a tough, fourth-down catch in traffic for a 6-yard score that pushed the advantage to 14-0.
The Utes built a 17-0 lead by midway through the second quarter and led 24-6 at halftime. Utah outgained Arizona State 252-59 in the first half.
UCLA 45
Colorado 17
BOULDER, Colorado — Zach Charbonnet ran for three touchdowns and Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw for two more to power UCLA to its seventh straight win.
The Bruins (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) left Boulder with their first victory at Folsom Field since 2014 and their longest winning streak since winning their first eight games in 2005 under then-head coach Karl Dorrell, now the Buffaloes’ embattled leader.
Freshman left-hander Owen McCown, the son of longtime NFL quarterback Josh McCown, made his starting debut for Colorado (0-4, 0-1), which has now been outscored 173-47, the first time in program history the Buffaloes have lost four consecutive games by at least 25 points.
McCown got his chance after last year’s starter, Brendon Lewis and Tennessee transfer J.T. Shrout failed to ignite Colorado’s stagnant offense.
California 49
Arizona 31
BERKELEY, Calif. — Jaydn Ott ran for 274 yards and three touchdowns and California opened Pac-12 play with a victory over Arizona.
Ott scored on a 73-yard run on the second play from scrimmage, an improbable 18-yarder in the third quarter after he had appeared to be stopped for a short gain, and then another 72-yarder to ice it late in the fourth.
Ott had the third most rushing yards in school history, trailing only Jahvid Best’s 311 against Washington in 2008 and Jerry Drew’s 283 against Oregon State in 1954.
Jack Plummer added three TD passes for the Golden Bears (3-1, 1-0), who won their sixth straight home game. It’s their longest winning streak at Memorial Stadium since a nine-gamer in 2008-09.
Cal also ended a six-game skid against Arizona (2-2, 0-1) by beating the Wildcats for the first time since 2009.
BIG SKY
Montana St. 38
E. Washington 35
CHENEY — Sean Chambers scored on a 13-yard run for the winning touchdown as No. 4 Montana State defeated No. 15 Eastern Washington in a Big Sky Conference opening game that had a wild final four minutes.
With the Bobcats (3-1) trailing 35-31, a Chambers pass was picked off by Jaren Banks in the end zone with 3:52 left in the game. On the next play, Sebastian Valdez forced a Micah Smith fumble that was recovered by Ty Okada. It took two Chambers carries for MSU to score.
On fourth-and-14 from the EWU 25, Nolan Ulm caught a long pass from Gunner Talkington but when he landed on the turn, the ball popped loose into Danny Uluilakepa’s hands and after a long review the Bobcats ran out the final two minutes. There were no turnovers in the game until the closing minutes.

SEATTLE — Kalen DeBoer said it in passing, a throwaway line with prophetic effects.
“I still feel like a huge strength of ours is getting after the quarterback,” UW’s first-year coach mentioned Monday, despite his Huskies producing just seven sacks in their first three games. “We’ll be able to do that as we go through the season, making teams one-dimensional.”
Five days later, the Husky pass rush rewarded that faith.
In a 40-22 win over Stanford in its Pac-12 opener, No. 18 Washington amassed eight pad-popping sacks — its most since a 44-6 win over Stanford in 2016. Though UW was without starting cornerbacks Mishael Powell and Jordan Perryman, an unrelenting pass rush proved inescapable. Stanford quarterback Tanner McKee was a 6-foot-6, 230-pound target — absorbing blows behind a consistently collapsing line.
And, as it so often does, defense gave way to easy offense. With 6:32 left in the second quarter, redshirt freshman Jack McCallister produced a 39-yard punt — the Huskies’ first punt in the first half this season. From his own 45-yard line, McKee took a snap, dropped to pass and was incessantly swarmed — as senior edge Jeremiah Martin pried the football away while flying by. Defensive lineman Faatui Tuitele emerged with the ball from the bottom of a pile.
At which point, the Husky offense didn’t hesitate.
Following a 9-yard completion to tight end Devin Culp, running back Wayne Taulapapa took a handoff and exploded around the left side — outrunning the Stanford secondary for a 34-yard score. It was the Virginia transfer’s longest career run, as the Husky captain produced his first 100-yard performance in 44 career games.
Oh, and Taulapapa also made the tackle on the ensuing kickoff.
A week after Penix maximized a national spotlight in UW’s evisceration of Michigan State, his running game and pass rush cut down the visiting Cardinal. The 5-11, 207-pound Taulapapa barreled forward for 120 rushing yards, 9.2 yards per carry and the aforementioned score.
Oh, and sophomore edge Bralen Trice had two sacks. Martin had the touchdown-supplying sack-fumble. Zion Tupuola-Fetui added a sack-fumble in the fourth quarter, finishing with 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
As for sophomore linebacker Alphonzo Tuputala, the 238-pounder from Federal Way forcefully ejected running back Casey Filkins three yards into the backfield, then bombarded McKee for his second sack of the first half.
But Penix did his part as well. With 6:43 left in the third quarter, the strong-armed lefty unleashed a liner that wide receiver Rome Odunze corralled in tight coverage for a 30-yard score. Penix completed 22 of 37 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns, while Odunze caught eight passes for 161 yards (with a long of 61) — the first triple-digit receiving effort of the sophomore’s suddenly surging career.
The list of Husky contributors extends to Tacoma. Wide receiver Giles Jackson and running back Will Nixon each found the end zone. Senior Peyton Henry converted field goals of 47, 35, 32 and 26 yards. McCallister uncorked a 43-yard punt that was downed at the 2-yard line. Linebacker Cam Bright had a half-sack and an interception. Junior husky nickelback Dominique Hampton produced a team-high seven tackles.
The pass rush was the story. The running game was the story. Odunze was the story.
Here’s the real story: the 18th-ranked Huskies are 4-0, months after finishing 4-8.
So, you’ll be forgiven for believing DeBoer can see the future.
You may not have seen anything yet.

BANDITS have attacked a Jummat mosque in Ruwan Jema town in Bukkuyum Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing 15 worshippers.
This is coming barely three weeks after the terrorists attacked a Friday mosque at Zugu town in the same local government area where 45 worshippers were kidnapped.
A resident of the town, Ahmed Bukkuyum, said the bandits hid their AK-47 inside their clothes and pretended to be worshippers.
“They came to the mosque on motorcycles but nobody suspected that they were bandits. We thought they came to observe the weekly prayers,” he said.
Findings revealed that as soon as the prayers commenced, the hoodlums opened fire at the worshippers.
In the process, it was said that 15 worshippers were gunned down, while many worshippers were said to have sustained injuries.
According to the source, the death toll could increase as there are many residents who are still missing. As of the time of filing this report, there is no statement from the state government or the police.

Jim Goodwin v Ryan Porteous: Loggerheads and barbs but does Aberdeen boss see a bit of himself in Hibs defender
Who’s talking here, Jim Goodwin or Ryan Porteous? “I was competitive and a nightmare to play against because I really got in the opposition’s faces.”
Put a name to this quote: “The reputation I had really encouraged clubs to tell their players to go down whenever I was near so I might get sent off – but obviously there were many occasions when I got what I deserved because I allowed myself to get caught up in the heat of the moment.”
And this one, jokey, self-mocking and hazy on the number of yellow cards accrued: “Could it have been as many as a hundred? Better say 90.”
And finally in this week’s quiz: “I’m not a caveman – I don’t chew on raw meat! When folk meet me for the first time, down the pub over a few pints when the chat starts, I think they’re surprised. I’m not saying I’m this fantastic guy but I reckon they might go away thinking: ‘He’s not what I thought, he’s not as bad as he’s made out to be.’”
Probably the past tense is a giveaway. Aberdeen boss Goodwin is the retired pro, of course, while Hibs defender Porteous is very much out there right now. They are remarks by Goodwin in 2017, from an enjoyable interview when I met him at Alloa Athletic, his first club as a manager, but what’s interesting, I think, is that they could almost, with a wee edit here and there, belong to the Hibernian centre-back.
Goodwin used to be the big, bad wolf of Scottish football – bogeyman, panto villain, public enemy No 1. Now these various roles belong to Porteous. Which definitely adds a certain piquancy to their current spat.
Last weekend at Easter Road, in case you missed this during the nationwide mourning but it doesn’t seem like you did, Porteous and Aberdeen’s Liam Scales clashed. Hibs were awarded a penalty and the Dons defender was sent off. Scales’ boss went ballistic and accused Porteous of cheating, the Hibees complained – and now Goodwin faces an SFA charge.
This stooshie is freighted with irony. Goodwin, when we spoke, reflected on his card-heavy years as St Mirren’s enforcer when he often endured “trial by Sportscene”. Steven Thompson, then a pundit and yet still a Buddy, would phone him after games to warn him about incriminating footage upcoming. Goodwin told me: “Thommo would say: ‘It doesn’t look good.’ I felt sorry for him. So I’d say: ‘Tell it like it is, no point in holding back.’”
Last weekend, right after the final whistle, always a dangerous time for talk, Goodwin made his complaints about the incident and challenged the pundits to try and see it any different during the evening broadcast. Michael Stewart, without hesitation, agreed with Goodwin’s assertion that Porteous had “won” his team the penalty. I’m usually in agreement with Stewart on most things but really don’t know how he could be so sure about this.
Something that no one mentioned is that Scales was doing what defenders do in such situations: standing directly in front of Porteous, blocking his run as the corner kick was delivered, not looking at the ball at all. This had a definite bearing on the tussling that followed but Sportscene’s cameras weren’t conclusive about who had hold of whom, and much as the incident renewed calls for VAR arriving not soon enough, the technology will only settle matters if it’s EPL standard and not some inferior version.
Porteous can be a frustrating player to watch. There’s no little passion and bravery and skill in his game but not as much of the maturity those of us impressed by his debut in a win at Ibrox all of four years ago would have hoped. At times, interest in him from elsewhere having apparently cooled, he can seem bored with the Scottish scene, as if it all comes too easily to him, which can lead to lapses in concentration and blunders. He’s much loved by the Hibee hardcore but in few other places, and his Scotland call-up last week prompted the usual abuse from Twitter trolls sat in their underpants.
But he’s not the only player right now who thunders into tackles. Who – terrible euphemism, pundits, cut it out – “draws the foul” from an opponent. He might be the only player who does it with such bare-faced cheek, St Johnstone’s Murray Davidson being the red-carded fall-guy on opening day. He might be the only player as cocky as he is in post-match interviews. But there could be some jealousy here. Rival supporters would admire this ballsiness and fearlessness if they could call it their own.
Fatally, I reckon in this case, Goodwin did not pause and reflect after his initial grumble, but went further when talking to club channel Red TV. “That’s what the boy does,” he said of Porteous. “He’s made a helluva career out of winning penalties for Hibs. I’ve seen him doing it numerous times.” Numerous? I’m not sure it’s that many, Jim.
Goodwin was doing what managers do in such situations. With this direct line to supporters, he was trying to explain, and possibly excuse, another defeat, when the truth is Hibs were well on top before the red card and even more so after it, something the Dons contingent grudgingly acknowledged. He was, if you like, playing to the gallery – just as Porteous will play to his gallery with those macho performances.
Goodwin saw the tracksuited Porteous out of the corner of his eye as he said his piece. But maybe the old warrior was also recognising a bit of himself in the younger man.
