BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A federal judge will decide later this month if juvenile inmates from the Bridge City Youth Center will be transferred to Angola Prison.
The hearing on the potential transfer stretched into the third day after a lawsuit was filed to stop the transfer.
Advocates for the young inmates had asked the judge for a preliminary injunction against the state and gave testimony all day yesterday. On Thursday, witnesses took to the stand to argue why the transfer would be a good idea.
Several witnesses took to the stand, including Deputy Secretary of OJJ Bill Sumners. He said he had visited several other facilities and deemed the Angola location the best for juveniles. Other details of their plans were revealed during testimony that was not known to the public as of yet including adjustments to their rec area.
The plaintiff’s attorneys said the lawsuit could have been avoided if OJJ was more transparent with its plans ahead of time. Attorney Ron Haley’s team said they are willing to compromise and communicate with the defense to ensure that juveniles are protected
The judge is expected to make a decision by Sept. 23.

PHILADELPHIA — Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins’ two-base error allowed Miami to tie the game in the ninth and Brian Anderson’s followed with an RBI single that sent the Marlins past Philadelphia 6-5 on Thursday night and snapped their nine-game losing streak.
Joey Wendle, who homered earlier, slapped a pitch down the line that Hoskins failed to snag, and the ball rolled into right field as pinch-runner Bryan De La Cruz scored.
Avisaíl García walked, and Anderson hit a go-ahead single to right.
Dylan Floro (1-2) worked two scoreless innings for his first win since Sept. 20 last year, and the Marlins avoided a three-game sweep.
Trying to make the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, the Phillies led 5-4 after Marlins center fielder JJ Bleday -- a Pennsylvania native whose girlfriend attends Temple -- gifted the Phillies with two defensive blunders in the fifth inning.
Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara took a 4-3 lead into the fifth and retired the first two batters before Kyle Schwarber a can of corn fly to Bleday that the outfielder failed to squeeze with his glove. The ball popped free as Phillies fans roared in disbelief.
Hoskins singled and Alec Bohm followed with a low liner to center that Bleday got a bad read on. Bleday tried to make a diving catch with his outstretched glove and missed, allowing the ball to scoot to the wall as both runners scored for the 5-4 lead.
Phillies starter Kyle Gibson wasn’t sharp and gave up nine hits in five innings. Lewin Diaz hit a solo shot to right, Cooper added an RBI double and Garcia punched a run-scoring single in a three-run third.
The Phillies made it 3-3 on Nick Maton’s solo homer in the third and Bryson Stott’s two-RBI blooper that kissed the left field line in the fourth.
Alcantara had pitched like the frontrunner for the NL Cy Young Award but his ERA has risen from 1.92 to 2.43 in his last four starts. The Phillies have tagged him for 15 runs in five starts this season.
Still, when Wendle hit a solo homer in the fifth for a 4-3 lead, that should have been enough for Alcantara and the Marlins.
Bleday’s first error of the season took care of that — only for him to get bailed out by a costly error for the Phillies.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies RHP Seranthony Domínguez started a rehab assignment (right triceps tendinitis) with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. RHP Zack Wheeler (right forearm tendinitis) could throw a bullpen session this weekend and may not need to make a rehab start. RHP Zach Eflin (right knee) was expected to make a rehab start this week for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
UP NEXT
The Marlins head home for a three-game set against the New York Mets. RHP Edward Cabrera (4-2, 2.39 ERA) gets the start for the Marlins. The Mets did not announce a starter.
The Phillies open a three-game series against Washington on Friday and send RHP Noah Syndergaard (8-9, 4.07 ERA) to the mound against Nationals LHP Patrick Corbin (6-17, 6.28 ERA).

Company Emerges from Chapter 11 with a Healthier Financial Foundation
Communities Continue to Operate Uninterrupted, Prioritizing Resident Health and Well-being
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle Delaware Holding Company LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Eagle Senior Living" or the "Company") today announced that they have successfully completed a comprehensive financial reorganization to achieve a more balanced and sustainable capital structure. The Company has implemented its plan of reorganization, approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on April 27, 2022.

All other Eagle Senior Living communities continue to operate uninterrupted, providing high-quality care and amenities to all residents.
"Through this process, we have secured a bolstered financial structure—allowing our communities to be the place for residents to do more of what they love for years to come," said Todd Topliff, President of American Eagle Delaware Holding Company LLC. "I would like to thank our residents and their family members for their ongoing support, our business partners for their patience, and all of our loyal employees for their unwavering hard work and dedication to providing all residents with the highest quality of care as we have worked to complete this process. We are optimistic about our future."
Greenbrier Senior Living continues to manage all of the communities remaining with Eagle Senior Living.

It was a classic and comforting sight on the British sporting calendar, Queen Elizabeth II smiling and waving from inside a horse-drawn carriage leading other members of the royal family in a procession along the racetrack at Royal Ascot.
The monarch would then spend the day watching the races from the Royal Enclosure, cheering on her horses — win or lose.
And she won plenty.
Horse racing was the big sporting fascination of the queen, who died on Thursday at the age of 96. She first rode a horse at the age of 3 — and was immediately besotted with them — and would inherit the breeding and racing stock of her father, King George VI, when she acceded to the throne in 1952.
She became one of the biggest faces of British and global horse racing.
The queen was also present at some of the most famous occasions in British sporting history.
She handed the Jules Rimet Trophy to England captain Bobby Moore when the national soccer team won the men’s World Cup by beating West Germany at Wembley Stadium in 1966.
She was in the Royal Box on Centre Court at Wimbledon when British player Virginia Wade won the women’s singles title in 1977, the championship’s centenary year.
And, more recently, she had a cameo in the opening ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012, filming a comedy sketch with James Bond actor Daniel Craig where the queen — well, a stunt double, anyway — jumped out of a helicopter and parachuted into the Olympic Stadium. She allowed Danny Boyle, who directed the ceremony, and his crew access to her quarters at Buckingham Palace for a one-day shoot a few months earlier.
Horse racing was her big love, though, and she was often seen visiting The Royal Stud at her estate at Sandringham, patting her horses tenderly.
“My philosophy about racing is simple,” she said in a BBC documentary, The Queen’s Racehorses: A Personal View. “I enjoy breeding a horse that is faster than other people’s.
“And to me, that is a gamble from a long way back. I enjoy going racing but I suppose, basically, I love horses, and the thoroughbred epitomizes a really good horse to me.”
The queen had approaching 2,000 winners as a racehorse owner, with her jockeys always wearing purple, gold and scarlet — the colors of the storied royal racing silks also used by father and great grandfather, King Edward VII.
Her first winner was a horse called Monaveen, at Fontwell in 1949, and she went on to win all of the so-called “classics” in British horse racing except for The Derby, another event she attended for most of her life.
One of the queen’s most famous wins came at Royal Ascot in 2013 when Estimate became the first horse owned by a reigning monarch to win the prestigious Gold Cup. It was her first win in an elite race since 1989 and she was seen clapping enthusiastically as jockey Ryan Moore powered through to finish first by a neck in front of 61,000 racegoers.
Michael Stoute, who trained the queen’s horses, said winning races gave her a “special thrill.”
“She really loves this game,” he said after Estimate’s victory, “and it’s a great recreation for her.”
She was the champion owner in British flat racing on two occasions, in 1954 and ’57.
The queen even attended America’s greatest horse race, the Kentucky Derby, in 2007 while visiting the heart of U.S. racing in Kentucky bluegrass country.
Following the announcement of the queen’s death, the British Horseracing Authority said racing in Britain for the rest of Thursday and Friday would be suspended “as we begin to grieve Her Majesty’s passing and remember her extraordinary life and contribution to our sport and our nation.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Frances Tiafoe’s run to the U.S. Open semifinals is, first and foremost, about Tiafoe himself, a 24-year-old from Maryland who took up tennis because his father was a janitor at a junior training center, a player who never won a match past the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament until now, who owns one career ATP title and a sub-.500 career record, and whose ranking ranged from 24 to 74 over the past two seasons.
“A Cinderella story,” to use his phrase.
Tiafoe’s tale — which already includes a victory over 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal along the way to Friday’s matchup against No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain with a berth in the final at stake — is about so much more, too.
It is a significant step forward for American men’s tennis right now and could help grow the sport in the future, too.
Tiafoe is the first man from the United States to reach the semifinals at Flushing Meadows since Andy Roddick, 16 years ago. He has a shot at giving the country its first male champion at any Slam since Roddick in New York, 19 years ago.
If he can get past Alcaraz on Friday — the other men’s semifinal is No. 5 Casper Ruud of Norway against No. 27 Karen Khachanov of Russia — Tiafoe would become the first Black man from the U.S. in a major final since MaliVai Washington was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 1996.
“American men’s tennis has been struggling for a couple of decades. Struggling with a standard that we set for ourselves: Grand Slam champions and Grand Slam finals,” Washington said in a telephone interview Thursday. “That has not happened on the men’s side in years.”
A high bar was set by the success of the likes of Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe — the last African American man in the U.S. Open semifinals, in 1972, and the person for whom the event’s main stadium is named — and, before that, Don Budge and Bill Tilden. Thanks to the Williams sisters, and other players who were major champs or runners-up more recently, such as Sloane Stephens, Madison Keys, Sofia Kenin and Danielle Collins, American women’s tennis has stayed relevant long past the days of Chris Evert and Billie Jean King.
“It absolutely helps the U.S. Open to have male and female champions from the U.S. Absolutely,” tournament director Stacey Allaster said. “We had the greatest of all time for decades on the women’s side. And obviously we’ve had amazing American champions on the men’s side, from Pete and Andre to Andy. But it’s been a while.”
As Serena Williams prepared to walk away from her playing days, current athletes such as Tiafoe, 18-year-old Coco Gauff and others spoke during the U.S. Open about the influence she and her sister, Venus, had on their careers.
Gauff has said she plays what she called “a predominantly white sport” because she “saw somebody who looked like me dominating the game.”
The importance of representation can’t be overstated.
“What Frances is doing now is inspiring me,” Washington said. “And I hope he inspires young players — not just Black, but white, Hispanic, Asian. Certainly, because of his background, and the the color of his skin, it’s going to have a certain impact on young Black players and especially young Black boys. And I hope it makes them think, ‘OK, I’ve been playing tennis for a bunch of years. This inspires me to keep going.’ Or: ‘I’ve never played tennis before. This inspires me to try.’”
Tiafoe’s on-court enthusiasm — “which you might see more readily in basketball,” Washington said — and off-court personality could help draw youngsters to tennis.
So could the sorts of social media that didn’t exist in Washington’s playing days.
“I don’t know if you can ever truly know what type of impact you’re having on the next generation until maybe years later, when someone says, ‘Hey, I started playing tennis because I remember watching you at Wimbledon,’” said Washington, whose youth foundation in Jacksonville, Florida, offers after-school and summer programs. “We’re always trying to look for a diverse group of players, trying to find that next player and maybe looking for that next player in unconventional places.”
Martin Blackman, head of the U.S. Tennis Association’s player development program, thinks Tiafoe “resonates and is relevant in the culture. He represents a huge opportunity to make tennis ‘cooler.'”
Tiafoe does not shy from the notion that he can lead the way for others.
“He wants to be a role model,” said his coach, Wayne Ferreira. “I always tell him, ‘If you want to be a role model, you have to win tennis matches.’ … If he can win this tournament, he can be an inspiration for a lot of kids.”
Tiafoe was 6 when he first crossed paths with Blackman, who at the time was a coach at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in College Park, Maryland, where little Francis and his twin brother, stayed while Dad worked.
“He would watch the group lessons, he would watch the private lessons, he would hit on the wall,” Blackman said.
Blackman sees what Tiafoe is doing as the result of a process started more than a dozen years ago to try to develop future champions.
Blackman sees a “healthy peer pressure” in the group of American men around Tiafoe’s age who have come through the ranks — and rankings — together, including Taylor Fritz, Reilly Opelka and Tommy Paul.
“We want that same dynamic we had back in the early ‘90s, with Pete, Andre, Jim Courier and Michael Chang,” Blackman said. “That’s another part of why Frances’ breakthrough is so significant.”

SEATTLE — NFL legend Peyton Manning, along with his brother Cooper, is back for season two of "NBC’s Capital One College Bowl." Teams from 16 universities go head-to-head in this epic battle of the brains. The students are playing for bragging rights and $1,000,000 in scholarships. This year, a team from the University of Washington is hoping to take home the prize. Jim Dever caught up with UW student and Bellevue resident Shruthika Kandukuri.
DEVER: “What are you most looking forward to about America seeing you beyond the show?”
KANDUKURI: “Oh, I'm just really excited to get UW out there. You know, I grew up in the Midwest before moving to Washington in the eighth grade and I didn't really know about the school. But you know, if I saw it on a game show, I definitely would be like, 'That's pretty cool.'”
DEVER: “Is there anything going into the competition that you were most nervous about?”
KANDUKURI: “I think I was mostly nervous about the buzzer races. I watched some of the previous episodes, just to prep. And you know, there were quite a few questions where multiple people knew the answer, but it really just came down to who buzzed the fastest. So I would just like sit there clicking a pen to get my thumb warmed up.
DEVER: “Oh, that's great. What a great workout. The Manning brothers, are they real-world smart or are they teleprompter smart?
KANDUKURI: “I'm glad this is pre-recorded. They're very nice people.”
DEVER: “Good answer!” (laughing)
KANDUKURI: “The way it kind of works is Peyton throws out the question and for the answer, Cooper throws in like a little factoid or two. So, I don't know if that's a teleprompter thing or something he just knows that. But you know, they definitely are smart after the show.”
DEVER: “Oh, good. That's good to know. Because I'd be so disappointed because they've impressed me by how intelligent they appear to be.”
KANDUKURI: “Yeah, they're well rounded.”
"Capital One College Bowl" premieres Friday, Sept. 9 at 8:00 p.m. on NBC.

Helen Mirren is speaking out following Queen Elizabeth II's death. Immediately after the late monarch's death on Thursday, the 77-year-old actress, who played Queen Elizabeth in multiple projects, reacted to the news on Instagram.
"I am proud to be an Elizabethan," Mirren wrote alongside a photo of Queen Elizabeth. "We mourn a woman, who, with or without the crown, was the epitome of nobility."
Then, in a statement to ET, Mirren said, "I’m mourning along with the rest of my country, the passing of a great Queen. I’m proud to call myself of the Elizabethan age. If there was a definition of nobility, Elizabeth Windsor embodied it."
In a previous interview with ET, Mirren described how she viewed Queen Elizabeth.
"Honest and decent and fun-loving and warm," Mirren said. "Above all, responsible to her duty as the monarch, and everything else had to take second place to that, including her family."
The actress also recalled "very briefly" meeting the late monarch once upon a time.
"I was lucky that I met her in an environment, in a situation that she was relaxed in," she told ET. "She was relaxed and happy and having a good time. She was absolutely charming and twinkly and sweet."
Mirren won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in Peter Morgan's play, The Audience. She later stepped into the royal's shoes again in the 2006 film, The Queen, for which she won the Oscar for Best Actress.
More recently, Morgan created the Netflix series, The Crown, which follows the late monarch's reign. Claire Foy and Olivia Colman have played her on the show, and Imelda Staunton is set to take over the role next season.
Colman previously told ET that it was "so much fun" to take on the role.
In the wake of Queen Elizabeth's death, Morgan said he expects the series will pause filming.
"The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect," he wrote in an email, according to Deadline. "I expect we will stop filming out of respect too."
Prior to her death, Stephen Daldry, the show's executive producer, told the outlet if the show was in production when she died, it would stop for a respectable period of time.
"None of us know when that time will come but it would be right and proper to show respect to the queen. It would be a simple tribute and a mark of respect," he said. "She’s a global figure and it’s what we should do. She’s an extraordinary woman and people will be upset."

How the Queen's passing affects royal titles: Archie and Lilibet will FINALLY become prince and princess... while Kate is now a step close to becoming the Princess of Wales
- The members of the Royal Family will now have different titles after the death of Queen Elizabeth II yesterday
- Charles, who was the Prince of Wales, will be King, and Camilla will be Queen Consort (like the Queen Mother)
- William is now the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge but Charles needs to give him the Prince of Wales title
- Buckingham Palace confirmed the Queen died 'peacefully' aged 96 at Balmoral Estate surrounded by family
- Full coverage: Click here to see all our coverage of the Queen’s passing
The Queen's death is set to trigger a series of changes to the titles of senior royals - including for both the Cambridges and the Sussexes.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is now technically a prince following the death of the Queen - a title which Meghan controversially claimed was previously denied to him because of his race.
His younger sister, Lilibet 'Lili' Mountbatten-Windsor, is also entitled to be a princess following the death of the Queen and with her grandfather, the Prince of Wales, becoming King.
The rules set out by King George V in 1917 mean Archie and Lili - as the children of a son of a sovereign - also now have an HRH style if they choose to use it.
Meanwhile, the Cambridges are set to see big changes. As Charles’s eldest son, Prince William has inherited the title the Duke of Cornwall.
William and Kate have already changed their name to include Cornwall, a title they have automatically inherited as a result of Prince Charles becoming king. They are now the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor is now technically a prince due to rules set out by King George V in 1917. The family are pictured for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Christmas card in 2021
When William becomes the Prince of Wales Kate will become the Princess of Wales (pictured on June 23) – last used by William’s mother, Diana, when she was married to Charles
William and Kate’s children have become Prince George of Cornwall and Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cornwall and Cambridge, and Prince Louis of Cornwall and Cambridge (pictured together on September 7). They will eventually become ‘of Wales’ when William is the Prince of Wales
But that could soon change. Prince William could be gifted the title of Prince of Wales from his father. The Queen granted King Charles the title in 1958.
If William is gifted the Prince of Wales title, Kate will become the Princess of Wales. The title was last used by William’s mother, Diana, when she was married to Charles.
Camilla was also technically the Princess of Wales but never used the title because of its association with Diana.
Kate will also hold the title the Countess of Chester, if William becomes the Earl of Chester. She is also now the Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland – previously Camilla’s title.
William and Kate’s children have become Prince George of Cornwall and Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cornwall and Cambridge, and Prince Louis of Cornwall and Cambridge. They will eventually become ‘of Wales’ when William is the Prince of Wales.
Similarly, Harry and Meghan's children will now, for the first time, become Prince and Princess.
During the couple's explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, Meghan Markle described her 'pain' as she claimed officials had denied Archie the title of prince and accused Buckingham Palace of failing to protect him by denying him 24/7 security.
When asked if it was 'important' for Meghan that Archie be called a prince, she said she doesn't have any attachment to the 'grandeur' of official titles.
But she said it was about 'the idea of our son not being safe, and also the idea of the first member of colour in this family not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be.'
In 2021, it was suggested Charles - in a bid to limit the number of key royals - intended, when he became monarch, to prevent Archie becoming a prince.
To do so, he will have to issue a Letters Patent amending Archie's right to be a prince and Lili's right to be a princess.
Until that potentially happens or if it does not, Archie and Lili remain a prince and princess, whether their parents choose to use the titles or not.
Meghan argued in the Sussexes' bombshell interview with US talk show host Oprah Winfrey that Archie was not given the title of prince because of his race.
When Archie was born he was too far down the line of succession for such a title according to George V’s restrictions, but now, as the son of a son of a sovereign, he can be an HRH and a prince
During the explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, Meghan Markle described her 'pain' that officials had denied Archie the title of prince and accused Buckingham Palace of failing to protect him by denying him 24/7 security
However, when Archie was born seventh in line to the throne in May 2019, he was too far down the line of succession.
Although he was a great-grandchild of the monarch, he was not a first-born son of a future king, so was not automatically a prince.
He could have previously used the courtesy title Earl of Dumbarton, or been Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
But Buckingham Palace said the duke and duchess made a personal decision that he should be plain Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor instead.
A royal source said following Archie's arrival that the couple had chosen not to give him a courtesy title 'at this time'.
Meghan told Oprah that, when she was pregnant with Archie, an unnamed member of the royal family had raised 'concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born'.
The Sussexes stopped using their own HRH styles after stepping down as senior working royals for a life in Los Angeles, and there were later calls for their duke and duchess titles to be removed.
If Harry and Meghan decide that Archie and Lili will be known as a prince and a princess, this will stand in direct contrast to how Harry has always spoken about the burden of having a title.
He repeatedly stressed the importance of wanting to be seen as normal and confessed in 2017 that he once 'wanted out' of the royal family - a wish that became a reality in 2020.
The former soldier said the time he spent in the Army, when he was 'just Harry', was 'the best escape I've ever had' and he had considered giving up his title.
Royal author Penny Junor said: 'He would have dearly liked to have been a normal boy growing up, and found his title very difficult.'
The duke is close to his cousins, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, and may have taken their experiences on board.
Junor added: 'He looked at Zara and Peter and it was so much easier for them than for him.
'He was constantly the centre of attention. His friends were targeted whenever he did anything wrong or misbehaved in any way.
'We knew nothing about Zara or Peter when they were growing up because they were ordinary children going to ordinary schools and were not being treated in any special way.'
Zara, who grew up as Miss Zara Phillips, was not entitled to be an HRH because she was born in the female line as the offspring of the daughter of a sovereign.
She has spoken of how not having a title was a blessing.
'I've been very lucky. My parents didn't give us titles, so we've been able to have a slightly more normal upbringing. As soon as you've got a title, it's very difficult to shed it,' she said.
Affectionately called 'Granny' and 'Gan-Gan', the monarch enjoyed a close bond with the younger generation of royals. Pictured this snap, taken at Balmoral Castle in 2018 by the Duchess of Cambridge, shows the Queen and the late Duke of Edinburgh sitting alongside seven of their great-grandchildren left-right: Prince George, Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, Savannah Phillips (behind), Isla Phillips holding Lena Tindall and Mia Tindall
The Queen, pictured earlier this week meeting Liz Truss at Balmoral, died yesterday afternoon at the age of 96
The Earl and Countess of Wessex's daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, and son, Viscount Severn, as the children of the son of a monarch, were allowed to be known as princess and prince.
But Edward and Sophie, with the Queen's permission, decided to use the courtesy titles of an earl instead.
Meghan said she and Harry wanted Archie to be a prince so he would have security and be protected.
But being a prince or princess does not automatically mean royals have police bodyguards paid for by the taxpayer, and the Sussexes have chosen to live in the US.
Archie is technically history's first Prince of Sussex and Lili the first Princess of Sussex.
The previous 19th century Duke of Sussex - an eccentric son of King George III - had both his marriages deemed illegal.
Charles, who was the Prince of Wales, is now King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Camilla is, as the wife of the King, the Queen (pictured together attending Thanksgiving on June 3)

Charlotte joined her parents and the Queen on a number of royal occasions during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, including Trooping the Colour (pictured)
His mistress, Lady Augusta Murray, was not the Duchess of Sussex and his illegitimate son was plain Master Augustus Frederick d'Este.
Lady Augusta did, however, continually refer to herself as a duchess and a princess, and staff called her son Prince Augustus and her daughter Princess Augusta. Eventually Archie will be entitled to succeed Harry as the Duke of Sussex.
Meanwhile, Charles, who was the Prince of Wales, is now King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He is also King of Commonwealth realms.
His style is His Majesty rather than His Royal Highness. Charles is also Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. He is now the Duke of Lancaster.
Camilla is, as the wife of the King, the Queen. Her style is Her Majesty rather than Her Royal Highness. She is a Queen Consort, as was the Queen Mother, rather than a Queen Regnant who rules in her own right, such as Elizabeth II.
Pillar boxes, cash, stamps, police helmets, passports. So much will be different under King Charles III... and even QCs will become KCs
By David Wilkes for the Daily Mail
After 70 years on the throne, we have all become accustomed to seeing the Queen's image on everyday items such as bank notes, coins and stamps.
But following her death, they will have to be changed to feature portraits of the new King, Charles III.
British currency won't be replaced overnight, however. It could take years, as new coins and notes are created with the face of the King and the older ones are gradually removed from circulation.
Another change will be that while the Queen's image faces to the right on coins, new ones will show the King facing left. This is due to a tradition dating from the 17th century to alternate the way successive monarchs are facing. The Queen's coins did not appear until 1953 – the year after her accession.
The new coins and notes will need to be designed and minted, or printed. Then The Royal Mint advisory committee must send recommendations for new coins to the Chancellor and obtain royal approval. Designs are then chosen and the final choices approved by the Chancellor and then the King.

Another change will be that while the Queen's image faces to the right on coins, new ones will show the King facing left
Australian coins and the $5 banknote are set to be updated to feature King Charles following the death of the Queen at age 96 (pictured is a mocked-up version of the 20 cent coin)
UK passports will be issued in the new King's name and their wording changed at some point. Her Majesty's Passport Office will become His Majesty's Passport Office
A change in matters of law is that barristers and solicitors appointed by the monarch will see their title switch from Queen's Counsel (QC) to King's Counsel (KC)
Stamps also depict an image of the Queen and new ones will have to be created featuring the face of the King, again with the current ones phased out gradually. Charles may have already sat for such sculptures or portraits, and he will again have to approve the designs.
Royal Mail postboxes bearing the Queen's ER cypher (for 'Elizabeth Regina', the Latin for Queen) are unlikely to be removed – in fact, some emblazoned with the Queen's father King George VI's GR ('George Rex', Latin for King) cypher can still be seen today. But any new postboxes could feature the new King's emblem.
And in criminal court cases, the R to denote the Crown now stands for Rex rather than Regina. Another change in matters of law is that barristers and solicitors appointed by the monarch will see their title switch from Queen's Counsel (QC) to King's Counsel (KC).
Meanwhile, the words to the National Anthem now change to 'God save our gracious King'.
Military medals featuring the Queen's effigy will need to be altered, while police and military uniforms bearing the Queen's cypher are likely to be updated over time with the new King's cypher – the monogram impressed on royal and state documents. The Queen's ERII features on traditional police helmets.
UK passports will be issued in the new King's name and their wording changed at some point. Her Majesty's Passport Office will become His Majesty's Passport Office, as is the case with HM Armed Forces and HM Prison Service.

But any new postboxes could feature the new King's emblem
Pictured: The death of The Queen was announced at 6.30pm today via the Royal Family's official Twitter account accompanied by this photo
Her Majesty the Queen - Britain's longest-reigning monarch - has died peacefully at Balmoral aged 96. Her son Charles, is now king, and his face will gradually replace that of his mother's on coins, notes, stamps,
Charles's signature will also change. Before, it was simply 'Charles', but now it will be followed by an additional R for Rex at the end. As King, he will also need a new personal flag.
In 1960, the Queen adopted a personal flag – a gold E with the royal crown surrounded by a chaplet of roses on a blue background – to be flown on any building, ship, car or aircraft in which she was staying or travelling. It was often used when she visited Commonwealth countries. While the Royal Standard represents the Sovereign and the United Kingdom, the Queen's own flag was personal to her alone.
Meanwhile, the royal coat of arms, adopted at the start of Queen Victoria's reign in 1837, will remain the same. But just as when the Queen became monarch, it is likely that new artwork will be issued early in Charles's reign by the College of Arms for use by public service bodies such as the civil service and the armed forces.
The 'very light rebranding' will be hard to spot, but it signifies the opportunity to replace old images, which have been in use for many decades, with newer differently stylised ones. And the Duke of Cambridge will be given an updated coat of arms when he is made the Prince of Wales – a title which he does not inherit automatically.

Anti-monarchist chippie gets a battering! Fish and chip shop owner who sparked fury with video proclaiming 'Lizard Liz is dead' just hours after The Queen's passing is confronted by angry residents who pelt store with eggs
- Jaki Fish and Chip Shop was egged after the owner posted a controversial video
- Jacki Pickett celebrated Her Majesty's death with a champagne toast
- She also held up a sign that said: 'Lizard Liz Dead and London Bridge has fallen'
- Residents protested outside the shop and gave it terrible reviews online
Enraged Brits pelted eggs at a fish and chip shop after the restaurant's owner posted a video online celebrating the death Queen Elizabeth II.
Jaki Fish and Chip Shop, in Muir of Ord, was targeted after owner Jacki Pickett shared a clip of her popping and spraying champagne shortly after Her Majesty's passing.
Ms Pickett also held up a chalkboard sign reading: 'Lizard Liz Dead and London Bridge has fallen.'
The apparent anti-monarchist's post prompted a large group of residents to gather outside the business in protest as they booed and berrated Ms Pickett.
Police were called to disperse the crowd and were forced to close the shop amid concerns for the owner's safety.
Jaki Fish and Chip Shop, in Muir of Ord, was targeted after owner Jacki Pickett shared a clip of her popping and spraying champagne shortly after Her Majesty's passing
Seven officers were called to the shop on Thursday evening, a police spokesperson confirmed to The Press and Journal.
Although video emerged of Ms Pickett allegedly driving away from the shop after having consumed champagne hours prior, police say ther is 'no suggestion that a crime was committed.'
However, she has been slammed in the court of public opinion as social media users have issued aired their disgust towards her actions.
'You do not belong to us, we want you to leave,' one person wrote.
'I hope you're out of business and run out of the Muir in the month,' echoed another.
'Highlanders, by which I mean proper true Highlanders, not just by birth, but the people who chose to live here are decent gentle folk, respectful of others.'
She also held up a chalkboard sign reading: 'Lizard Liz Dead and London Bridge has fallen'
Enraged Brits pelted eggs at the shop following her posting of the video. A large group also gathered outside the business in protest as they booed and berrated Ms Pickett
Ms Pickett appears to have deleted the video from Facebook, but that has not stopped angry residents from issuing poor reviews of the restaurant online.
'Dreadful ignorant tube of an owner… sincerely hope it fails,' wrote Peter Mcmurray.
'Utterly vile behaviour. Shameful and disrespectful!' added Iain McNab.
Alan Hassan echoed: 'Not one ounce of respect for anyone or anything except herself. I will never step foot back in your shop again.'
Mail Online has contacted Ms Pickett for comment.

Season Five of “The Crown” is just months away.
It’s been almost two years since the fourth season of the Netflix drama debuted and fans have been patiently waiting to see the next chapter in the royal family's lives play out on the small screen.
The anticipation of the Emmy award-winning show's return rose after Queen Elizabeth II died on Sept. 8 at the age of 96.
The longest-reigning monarch “died peacefully” at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, surrounded by her family. "The Crown" continues to tell the tale of her legacy, as well as her family's.
Season Four took place at the end of the 1970’s with Emmy award-winning actor Olivia Colman as Her Majesty. It also saw the queen’s eldest son, then Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor), marry a young Lady Diana Spencer (Emma Corrin), and introduced Britain’s first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson) as she led the country into the Falklands War.
With Season Five around the corner, here is everything we know.
When is Season Five premiering?
No official date has been set, but Season Five of “The Crown” will premiere in November 2022.
In September 2021, Netflix shared a video message from Imelda Staunton, who is taking on the role of Queen Elizabeth II, on the set of “The Crown” announcing the news.
What is Season Five about?
Season Five will focus on the royal family’s life from early-to-mid 1990s. Likely, the plot will focus on Charles and Princess Diana's marital turmoil: The couple separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996, a year before Diana died in a shocking car accident.
A whole new group of actors were tapped to bring to life the royals from that decade.
The season is also set during John Major’s tenure as England’s prime minister from 1990-97.
Who is in 'The Crown' Season Five?
Imelda Staunton ("Harry Potter," "Downton Abbey") is transforming into Queen Elizabeth for the fifth season, succeeding Claire Floy and Olivia Colman, who played younger versions of the monarch.
The first photo of the British actor was revealed in July 2021. “An early glimpse of our new Queen Elizabeth II, Imelda Staunton,” the show wrote on Instagram.
“I will do my utmost to maintain the very high standard that they set. Hopefully, I look calm, collected, and capable. My stomach, meanwhile, is doing somersaults,” Staunton said of taking on the role in a video shared by Netflix last year.
Dominic West is taking on the role of Prince Charles, now King Charles III. He is Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s eldest child and the heir apparent.
Princess Diana will be portrayed by Elizabeth Debicki.
Other notable characters that are set to appear — and their actor counterparts — are:
- Jonathan Pryce as Elizabeth’s husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
- Lesley Manville as Elizabeth’s younger sister, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
- Jonny Lee Miller as John Major, Prime Minister.
- Marcia Warren as Elizabeth II’s mother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
- Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles, now queen consort
- Claudia Harrison as Princess Anne, Elizabeth and Philip’s second child and only daughter.
- James Murray as Prince Andrew, Elizabeth and Philip’s third child.
- Emma Laird Craig as Sarah, Duchess of York, Andrew’s wife.
- Sam Woolf as Prince Edward, Elizabeth and Philip’s youngest child.
Where is the trailer?
While the cast of "The Crown" has been revealed, audiences haven't seen much of the cast in character: No trailer or official photos from Season Five have been shared ... yet.
Is there a Season Six of 'The Crown'?
Yes, filming for Season Six of “The Crown” is already underway.
On Sept. 2, the young actors taking on the roles of teenage versions of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, were announced.
Rufus Kampa will play a younger version of Prince William, while Ed McVey will get a shot to play Prince William as an older teen. Making her professional acting debut, Meg Bellamy will play the former Kate Middleton. The actor playing Prince Harry has not been cast.
In wake of Queen Elizabeth’s death, Deadline reported that Peter Morgan, writer “The Crown,” said that the series is “a love letter to her.”
In an email message, he added that he expects production on Season Six “will stop filming out of respect” for a period of time.

They were brave, they were frightened, they were desperate.
The five respected physicians had seen and heard enough, and they were now bound and determined to stop Dr. Yvon Baribeau, a heart surgeon whom they saw as having a long history of deadly errors in the operating room. Three of them had already gone up the chain of command at Catholic Medical Center, with urgent appeals, but had been largely rebuffed by hospital leadership. The other two feared the hospital had lost its moral compass and allied themselves with the effort.

BEIJING, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In its endeavor to realize the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) has produced a special publication, 'CKGSB 2022 ESG and Social Innovation Report: Our Innovative Path towards Sustainable Development', bringing examples of how the business school pursues ESG goals in China.
Released on the 9th of September 2022, the report showcases CKGSB's innovative programs, original research, hands-on projects, interdisciplinary partnerships and global dialogues on the school's environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts and impact.
The report also highlights representative cases from the past two years in the CKGSB's social responsibility, featuring ESG-related courses among its programs, social innovation projects led by the school's staff, students and alumni, and unique insights from faculty's research on sustainability.
Emphasizing the social role of a business school like CKGSB, Founding Dean Xiang Bing writes in the report, "In this era of tectonic changes, business schools have an unshakable responsibility in helping individuals and institutions (companies and NGOs) to better navigate through these turbulent times, and to make the world a better place both economically and socially."
With ESG becoming an increasingly pertinent topic worldwide, the report includes CKGSB's work on realizing ESG goals in China and globally. Under 'Programs and Courses,' the report highlights the 'Social Innovation and Business for Good' field course, led by Professor of Marketing Zhu Rui (Juliet), which has been required of Executive MBA students since 2021. The course allows students to pinpoint societal problems, explore solutions under the guidance of mentors and professors, and initiate ESG practices in their institutions. In the 'Practice' section, the Ji'an Project shows how CKGSB contributed to the poverty alleviation efforts of Ji'an in Jiangxi province by integrating its core business – education and business management – into social innovation.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s 1,800-plus election clerks were racing Thursday to understand a judge’s ruling nine weeks before the election that some fear could lead to absentee ballots being counted in parts of the battleground state but rejected in others.
A judge on Wednesday barred the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission from issuing guidance to clerks, in place since 2016, about how to handle absentee ballots that are missing all or parts of the address of the person who witnessed the voter casting the ballot. Clerks say that now means it is up to them to determine which ballots should be counted and which should not.
“What is tricky is what is an address?” said Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell. “You’re going to get varying interpretations.”
State law requires clerks to either return ballots missing a witness address to the voter to be corrected or not count the ballot. The elections commission in 2016 told clerks that they could add information themselves if all or part of an address was missing.
Clerks only address problems on the witness certificate, which doubles as an envelope, and not the ballot itself. Republicans did not contest the practice until after Donald Trump’s narrow loss in 2020, when nearly 1.4 million voters cast absentee ballots and COVID-19 vaccines weren’t available yet.
Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Aprahamian on Wednesday said state law does not allow clerks to fill in missing information. He granted a request from Republicans, including the GOP-controlled Legislature, to prohibit the elections commission from telling clerks they can do that. Aprahamian was appointed by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
Democrats plan to appeal and the case is expected to end up before the conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court.
In the meantime, clerks are struggling to understand what ballots they should count, or not, with absentee voting slated to begin in about two weeks. The deadline for absentee ballots to be mailed to voters is Sept. 22.
The elections commission has guidance on what constitutes an address, but the issue has not been addressed by the courts.
“It certainly leaves things very unclear,” said Claire Woodall-Vogg, executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, in an email. “Historically, voters have not been penalized for minor errors in voting where intent is clear. I will be consulting with my City Attorney’s office for their advice on the matter.”
The number of affected ballots is likely to be small but could be an issue in close races. President Joe Biden won Wisconsin in 2020 by fewer than 21,000 votes.
Woodall-Vogg said just over 1% of all absentee ballots cast in Milwaukee in April were missing address information. In a recount of the Republican race for the 2nd Congressional District, which includes the city of Madison, only 25 ballots out of 120,000 cast had deficient absentee addresses, McDonell said.
The Legislative Audit Bureau last year reviewed nearly 15,000 absentee ballot envelopes from the 2020 election across 29 municipalities and found that 1,022, or about 7%, were missing parts of witness addresses. Only 15 ballots, or 0.1%, had no witness address. Auditors found that clerks had corrected addresses on 66 envelopes, or 0.4% of the sample.
McDonell said in Dane County, the state’s second largest, the practice has been to count ballots that contain partial addresses.
“We don’t care if it says Wisconsin or has the zip,” he said. “So it’s a game of what’s missing. … The sort of basic common sense is ‘Can I find this address?’”
Republicans contend the ruling means that clerks have two choices for ballots missing information: return them to voters or don’t count them.
“This ruling cleans up the process, and if (the elections commission) puts aside political games by issuing sound guidance, this will ensure uniformity across all of the state’s municipalities,” said Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Paul Farrow.
The attorney for the Republican Party of Waukesha County, which brought the lawsuit, did not immediately return a message seeking comment Thursday. Republican legislative leaders, who joined the lawsuit, did not immediately return messages.
Both McDonell and Woodall-Vogg said they would be trying to educate voters about the need to have witnesses completely fill out the address portion on the absentee ballot. The ruling will increase the workload on clerks who will be returning ballots to voters to complete missing information, McDonell said.
“We will continue to be diligent in our communication with voters – both initially when mailing the ballot and if needing to return the ballot to be cured,” Woodall-Vogg said. “I fear for voters across the state who live in municipalities where the clerk may not have the staff or resources to notify a voter of their error.”

WESTMINSTER, Calif. — Dozens of Vietnamese-speaking volunteers filled a community center on a recent Wednesday to phone bank for Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Calif., a Korean American lawmaker whose campaign signs and flyers in Vietnamese and English lined the walls.
A few neighborhoods down, Jay Chen, a Democrat and Navy reservist of Taiwanese descent who is challenging Steel, passed out flyers outside of Zippost, a shipping business that residents often use to send packages to relatives in Vietnam. Chen, donning a Navy hat, walked around the plaza with a Vietnamese-speaking volunteer in tow helping residents register to vote.
Steel and Chen are vying to appeal to the Asian American voters who dominate the electorate in this slice of Orange County, making up one-quarter of the voting population. Their race — one of only a few dozen competitive ones that could determine which party controls the House — is being watched closely for clues about what may move voters in this increasingly critical bloc.
“The Asian vote can really give enough votes for a candidate to win,” said Mary Anne Foo, the executive director of the nonprofit Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance, a nonpartisan resource center. “What’s significant now is the number of Asian Americans running for office. Having representation is exciting.”
Across the country, Asian American voters, who comprised 4% of the electorate in 2020, are the fastest-growing population of eligible voters. The Asian American Voter Survey found in July that nearly half of Asian Americans identified as Democrats, about one-third as independents and about one-fifth as Republicans. About two-thirds voted for President Joe Biden over Donald Trump, surveys show.
However, an analysis by The New York Times found that immigrant communities shifted to the right as they had a surge in voters in 2020. The Asian American Voter Survey found that older Asian voters tended to identify as independent or Republican at higher rates than those in younger generations. Vietnamese Americans, who make up a large proportion of Asian residents in Orange County, also leaned more to the right.
Both candidates in the race have made tackling inflation the centerpiece of their campaigns, and both have also focused on safety amid an increase in reports of hate crimes against Asian Americans — themes that are top of mind for many Asian voters, according to analysts.
Karthick Ramakrishnan, the founder of AAPI Data, which helps conduct the annual Asian American Voter Survey, said the economy and crime were top issues for respondents, which could give an advantage to Republicans. But health care has also been a major issue, he said, which could boost Democrats, who recently pushed through Congress sweeping climate, health and tax legislation that would lower prescription drug costs and subsidize health insurance, among other benefits.
“The ethnicity of the candidate is a bit of a wash in terms of how much it will make a difference here, so it’ll be important to see the kind of appeals each of these candidates make,” Ramakrishnan said.
Still, race has hung heavily over the contest, sometimes in ugly ways.
Steel, who was born in South Korea and raised in Japan, has accused Chen of mocking her accent; he said at a campaign event in April that people need “an interpreter to figure out exactly what she’s saying.” Chen said in an interview that his comments were misconstrued and that he meant he did not understand her policies.
In the campaign feud, he has accused Steel of “red-baiting” by painting him as sympathetic to China’s authoritarian government. An accusation of communist sympathies may be particularly resonant to the county’s many refugees who still have bitter memories fleeing a communist regime.
Chen, the Harvard-educated son of immigrants who is a member of the board of trustees of Mt. San Antonio Community College and owns a local real estate business, said he has tried to appeal to right-leaning voters with his military experience. He served stints in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula with the 7th Fleet, which helped evacuate refugees after the Vietnam War.
“Whenever I mention that, it really resonates,” Chen said.
Steel, a former member of the county board of supervisors and a local business owner, is fighting to hold onto her seat in a changed political environment. She narrowly defeated Rep. Harley Rouda, a Democrat, in 2020 in a district along the California coast that leaned Republican, becoming one of the first three Korean American women to serve in Congress. But she was displaced by redistricting and opted to run in a new district that tilts slightly toward Democrats.
Orange County was once described by President Ronald Reagan as a place “where the good Republicans go before they die.” Its partisan bent has since shifted as a younger, more diverse population has moved from the Los Angeles metropolitan area seeking more affordable living. Now Democrats outnumber Republicans in voter registration, and there is a sizable no-party-preference voter bloc, according to the latest statistics from the county voter registrar.
The pendulum swung for the first time in 2018, when Democrats swept into the House majority by flipping four seats in the area, giving Democrats control of all seven congressional seats in the county. It swung in the other direction in 2020, when Republicans reclaimed two seats in Orange County.
But the shifts reshaping the area are lasting, and they reflect similar ones underway in suburban enclaves across the country as immigrant communities relocate out of cities, said Christine Chen, the executive director of Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote, which helps conduct the Asian American Voter Survey.
Asian Americans make up more than one-fifth of residents of Orange County, which is known for having the largest concentration of Vietnamese people outside of Vietnam, many of whom sought refuge in the region after the Vietnam War.
The district encompasses Little Saigon, a stretch of Vietnamese-owned homes and businesses in the city of Westminster, which looks like most aging suburbs in Southern California: palm trees, stucco single-family homes and sun-bleached signs. Vietnamese and occasionally Korean and Chinese characters are predominantly featured on storefronts, and the political signage clogging up street corners feature mainly candidates with Asian surnames. Both campaigns and local organizations have been investing heavily on advertisements in Vietnamese.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced in July that it planned to make a seven-figure investment to reach Asian voters in California, and the Republican National Committee has opened several Asian Pacific American community centers across the county, a multimillion-dollar investment aiming to recruit volunteers for voter outreach to support Republican candidates, with one of the first in Little Saigon.
John Le, 57, a Vietnamese American Microsoft engineer from Lake Forest who described himself as a traditional Republican, said that, partisan politics aside, he was proud to be in a district with two Asian American candidates. He said he planned to vote for Steel.
“It’s the American dream,” Le said. “We should be proud of these people who are giving back to the community. I will look at who will represent me the most.”

Helen Mirren is speaking out following Queen Elizabeth II's death. Immediately after the late monarch's death on Thursday, the 77-year-old actress, who played Queen Elizabeth in multiple projects, reacted to the news on Instagram.
"I am proud to be an Elizabethan," Mirren wrote alongside a photo of Queen Elizabeth. "We mourn a woman, who, with or without the crown, was the epitome of nobility."
Then, in a statement to ET, Mirren said, "I’m mourning along with the rest of my country, the passing of a great Queen. I’m proud to call myself of the Elizabethan age. If there was a definition of nobility, Elizabeth Windsor embodied it."
In a previous interview with ET, Mirren described how she viewed Queen Elizabeth.
"Honest and decent and fun-loving and warm," Mirren said. "Above all, responsible to her duty as the monarch, and everything else had to take second place to that, including her family."
The actress also recalled "very briefly" meeting the late monarch once upon a time.
"I was lucky that I met her in an environment, in a situation that she was relaxed in," she told ET. "She was relaxed and happy and having a good time. She was absolutely charming and twinkly and sweet."
Mirren won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in Peter Morgan's play, The Audience. She later stepped into the royal's shoes again in the 2006 film, The Queen, for which she won the Oscar for Best Actress.
More recently, Morgan created the Netflix series, The Crown, which follows the late monarch's reign. Claire Foy and Olivia Colman have played her on the show, and Imelda Staunton is set to take over the role next season.
Colman previously told ET that it was "so much fun" to take on the role.
In the wake of Queen Elizabeth's death, Morgan said he expects the series will pause filming.
"The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect," he wrote in an email, according to Deadline. "I expect we will stop filming out of respect too."
Prior to her death, Stephen Daldry, the show's executive producer, told the outlet if the show was in production when she died, it would stop for a respectable period of time.
"None of us know when that time will come but it would be right and proper to show respect to the queen. It would be a simple tribute and a mark of respect," he said. "She’s a global figure and it’s what we should do. She’s an extraordinary woman and people will be upset."

LONDON (AP) — On her 21st birthday in 1947, Princess Elizabeth went on the radio and made a promise to Britain and its Commonwealth nations: She pledged that “my whole life, whether it be short or long, will be devoted to your service.”
Over her very long life, Queen Elizabeth II fulfilled that vow.
Through 15 prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss. Through Britain’s postwar deprivations, crippling labor unrest and Brexit. Through the messy divorces, embarrassments and scandals of her family. She endured through it all — a reassuring anchor in a fast-changing world.
The longest-reigning monarch that Britain has ever known, Elizabeth died Thursday at 96 at Balmoral Castle, her beloved summer home in Scotland, after having steadied and modernized the royal institution through seven decades of huge social change.
Truss pronounced the country “devastated” and called Elizabeth “the rock on which modern Britain was built.”
Her passing ends an era, the modern Elizabethan age. Her 73-year-old son, Charles, automatically became king upon her death. He will be known as King Charles III, although his coronation might not take place for months.
Through countless public events in her 70 years as monarch, Elizabeth likely met more people than anyone in history. Her image — on stamps, coins and bank notes — was among the most reproduced in the world.
But her inner life and opinions remained mostly an enigma. The public saw only glimpses of her personality: her joy watching horse racing at Royal Ascot or being with her beloved Welsh corgi dogs.
Yet Elizabeth had an intuitive bond with many of her subjects that seemed to strengthen over time, keeping a sense of perspective that served her well in most instances, said royal historian Robert Lacey.
“A lot of it comes from her modesty, the fact that she’s very conscious that she’s not important, that she’s there to do a job, that it’s the institution that matters,” he said.
The impact of her loss will be huge and unpredictable, both for the nation and for the monarchy, an institution whose relevance in the 21st century has often been called into question.
World leaders paid tribute to her long reign. U.S. President Joe Biden called her a “stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy.”
She strongly felt the burden of her role as queen, though she was not destined for the crown from birth.
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born in London on April 21, 1926, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York. Her father’s elder brother, Prince Edward, was first in line for the throne, to be followed by any children he had.
But in 1936, when she was 10, King Edward VIII abdicated to marry twice-divorced American Wallis Simpson, and Elizabeth’s father became King George VI.
Her younger sister, Princess Margaret, recalled asking Elizabeth whether this meant that she would one day be queen. “Yes, I suppose it does,” Margaret quoted Elizabeth as saying. “She didn’t mention it again.”
Like many of her generation, Elizabeth was shaped by World War II.
She was barely in her teens when Britain went to war with Germany in 1939. While the king and queen stayed at Buckingham Palace during the Blitz and toured the bombed-out neighborhoods of London, Elizabeth and Margaret stayed for most of the war at Windsor Castle, west of the capital. Even there, 300 bombs fell in an adjacent park, and the princesses spent many nights in an underground shelter.
Her first public broadcast, made in 1940 when she was 14, was a wartime message to children evacuated to the countryside or overseas.
“We children at home are full of cheerfulness and courage,” she said with a blend of stoicism and hope that would echo throughout her reign. “We are trying to do all we can to help out gallant soldiers, sailors and airmen. And we are trying, too, to bear our own share of the danger and sadness of war. We know, every one of us, that in the end all will be well.”
In 1945, after months of urging her parents to let her do something for the war effort, the heir to the throne became Second Subaltern Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. She enthusiastically learned how to drive and service heavy vehicles.
On the night the war ended in Europe, May 8, 1945, she and Margaret managed to mingle, unrecognized, with celebrating crowds in London — “swept along on a tide of happiness and relief,” as she told the BBC decades later. She described it as “one of the most memorable nights of my life.”
Two years later, at Westminster Abbey in November 1947, she married Royal Navy officer Philip Mountbatten, a prince of Greece and Denmark whom she had first met in 1939 when she was 13 and he 18. Postwar Britain was experiencing austerity and rationing, and so street decorations were limited, and no public holiday was declared. But the bride was allowed 100 extra ration coupons for her trousseau.
The marriage lasted more than 73 years, until Philip’s death last year at age 99.
The first of their four children, Prince Charles, was born on Nov. 14, 1948. He was followed by Princess Anne on Aug. 15, 1950, Prince Andrew on Feb. 19, 1960, and Prince Edward on March 10, 1964. Besides them, the queen is survived by eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Elizabeth and Philip lived for a time in Malta, where he was stationed and Elizabeth enjoyed an almost-normal life as a navy wife.
Then in February 1952, George VI died in his sleep at age 56 after years of ill health. Elizabeth, on a visit to Kenya, was told she was now queen.
“In a way, I didn’t have an apprenticeship,” Elizabeth told a BBC documentary in 1992 that gave a rare view into her emotions. “My father died much too young, and so it was all a very sudden kind of taking on and making the best job you can.”
Her coronation took place more than a year later at Westminster Abbey, a grand spectacle viewed by millions through the new medium of television.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s first reaction to the king’s death was to complain that the new queen was “only a child,” but he was won over within days and became an ardent admirer.
“All the film people in the world, if they had scoured the globe, could not have found anyone so suited to the part,” Churchill’s biographer, Lord Moran, reported the prime minister gushing about the young monarch.
In Britain’s constitutional monarchy, the queen is head of state but has little direct power; in her official actions, she does what the government orders. However, she was not without influence.
Officially the head of the Church of England, she once reportedly commented that there was nothing she could do legally to block the appointment of a bishop, “but I can always say that I should like more information. That is an indication that the prime minister will not miss.”
The extent of the monarch’s political influence sparked occasional speculation, but not much criticism. The views of Charles, who has expressed strong opinions on everything from architecture to the environment, might prove more contentious.
The queen was obliged to meet weekly with the prime minister, and they generally found her well-informed, inquisitive and up to date. The one possible exception was Margaret Thatcher, with whom her relations were said to be cool, if not frosty, though neither ever commented.
The queen’s views in those private meetings became a subject of intense speculation and fertile grounds for dramatists like Peter Morgan, author of the play “The Audience” and hit TV series “The Crown.” Those semi-fictionalized accounts were the product of an era of declining deference and rising celebrity, when the royal troubles became public property.
And there were plenty of troubles in the royal family, an institution known within the palace as “The Firm.” In Elizabeth’s first years on the throne, Princess Margaret provoked a national controversy through her romance with a divorced man.
In what the queen called the “annus horribilis” of 1992, her daughter, Princess Anne, got divorced, Prince Charles and Princess Diana separated, and so did Prince Andrew and his wife, Sarah. That was also the year Windsor Castle, a residence she far preferred to Buckingham Palace, was seriously damaged by fire.
The public split of Charles and Diana — “There were three of us in that marriage,” Diana said of her husband’s relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles — was followed by the shock of Diana’s death in a Paris car crash in 1997. For once, the queen appeared out of step with her people. Amid unprecedented national mourning, Elizabeth’s failure to make a public show of grief appeared to many to be unfeeling. After several days, she made a televised address to the nation.
The dent in her popularity was brief. She was by now a sort of national grandmother, with a stern gaze, a kind smile and an inexhaustible repertoire of brightly colored outfits with matching hats.
She took the monarchy from the black-and-white era to the digital age and was a cautious modernizer: She ended the presentation of debutantes at court and instituted garden parties with a cross section of her subjects; her children were sent to school, rather than being privately tutored as she was; she was the first monarch to give the annual royal Christmas speech on television, and the first to send an email and post a tweet.
Financial pressures led to staff reductions, cutbacks in repairs and maintenance at some of her palaces, and the removal of the royal yacht from active service. In the 1990s, she voluntarily but prudently agreed to pay taxes, and her dignity survived the necessity of topping up her income by opening a souvenir shop at Buckingham Palace.
Despite being one of the world’s wealthiest people, Elizabeth had a reputation for frugality and common sense. She was known as a monarch who took care to turn off lights in empty rooms, a country woman who didn’t flinch from strangling pheasants.
A newspaper reporter who went undercover to work as a palace footman reinforced that down-to-earth image, taking photos of the royal Tupperware on the breakfast table and a rubber duck in the bath.
“Dogs and horses, courtesy, kindliness and community service, count with her,” biographer Giles Brandreth wrote.
Her sangfroid was not dented when a young man aimed a pistol at her and fired six blanks as she rode by on a horse in 1981, nor when she discovered an intruder sitting on her bed in Buckingham Palace in 1982.
The image of the queen as an exemplar of ordinary British decency was satirized by the magazine Private Eye, which called her Brenda. Anti-monarchists dubbed her “Mrs. Windsor.” But the republican cause gained limited traction.
On her Golden Jubilee in 2002, she said the country could “look back with measured pride on the history of the last 50 years.”
“It has been a pretty remarkable 50 years by any standards,” she said in a speech. “There have been ups and downs, but anyone who can remember what things were like after those six long years of war appreciates what immense changes have been achieved since then.”
A reassuring presence at home, she was also an emblem of Britain abroad — a form of soft power, consistently respected whatever the vagaries of the country’s political leaders on the world stage. It felt only fitting that she attended the opening of the 2012 London Olympics alongside another icon, James Bond, as portrayed by Daniel Craig. Through some movie magic, she appeared to parachute into the Olympic Stadium.
Despite Britain’s complex and often fraught ties with its former colonies, Elizabeth was widely respected and remained head of state of more than a dozen countries, from Canada to Tuvalu. She headed the 54-nation Commonwealth, built around the U.K. and its former British colonies.
In 2015, she overtook Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother, as the longest-serving monarch in British history, and this year she became the second longest-reigning monarch in world history, behind 17th century French King Louis XIV, who took the throne at age 4.
She kept working well into her 10th decade, though Prince Charles and his elder son, Prince William, took over most of the visits, ribbon-cuttings and investitures that form the bulk of royal duties. The loss of Philip was a heavy blow, as she poignantly sat alone at his funeral in the chapel at Windsor Castle.
The family troubles kept coming. Her son, Prince Andrew, was entangled in the sordid tale of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an American businessman who had been a friend. Andrew denies accusations that he had sex with one of the women who said she was trafficked by Epstein.
The queen’s grandson, Prince Harry, walked away from Britain and his royal duties after marrying American actress Meghan Markle in 2018. He alleged in an interview that some in the family -– but pointedly not the queen -– had been less than welcoming to his wife.
She enjoyed robust health well into her 90s, though frailty eventually caught up with her. In October, she spent a night in a London hospital for tests, and was later said by the palace to be experiencing “episodic mobility issues.”
She kept up virtual meetings with diplomats and politicians from Windsor Castle, but public duties grew rarer, though she made several appearances as the U.K. celebrated her Platinum Jubilee in June.
Pragmatic to the end, she began to prepare the country for the transition to come. She let it be known that she wanted Charles’ wife Camilla to be known as “Queen Consort” when her son became king. It removed a question mark over the future role of the woman some blamed for the breakup of Charles’ marriage to Princess Diana in the 1990s.
In May, she asked Charles to stand in for her and read the Queen’s Speech at the State Opening of Parliament, one of the monarch’s most central constitutional duties.
But she remained firmly in control of the monarchy and at the center of national life as Britain marked her Platinum Jubilee with parties and pageants. Just 48 hours before her death, she presided at a ceremony at Balmoral Castle to appoint Truss as the 15th prime minister of her reign.
Seven decades after World War II, Elizabeth was again at the center of the national mood amid the uncertainty and loss of COVID 19 — a disease she came through herself in February.
In April 2020 — with the country in lockdown and Prime Minister Boris Johnson hospitalized with the virus — she made a rare video address, urging people to stick together.
She summoned the spirit of World War II, that vital time in her life, and the nation’s, by echoing Vera Lynn’s wartime anthem “We’ll Meet Again.”
“We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. We will be with our friends again. We will be with our families again. We will meet again,” she said.
At Queen Square in London’s Bloomsbury neighborhood stands an urn erected to commemorate Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee. Etched on the ground around it are the words of poet Philip Larkin, written for that event in 1977, but which remained true decades later:
“In times when nothing stood
But worsened or grew strange,
There was one constant good
She did not change.”

King Charles III to address UK as mourning begins for late queen
Issued on: Modified:
Ballater (United Kingdom) (AFP) – King Charles III was on Friday due to address his new subjects, as Britain was plunged into mourning by the death of queen Elizabeth II, ending a history making 70-year reign.
Charles, 73, became monarch immediately after the death of his mother at her Scottish Highland retreat on Thursday, sparking tributes at home and abroad.
He is due to return to London from Balmoral, where the 96-year-old queen died "peacefully" after a year-long period of ill health and decline.
Details of his inaugural address, set to be pre-recorded, were not immediately released by the palace, but are part of 10 days of detailed pre-prepared plans honed over decades.
Also on Friday, the new king is expected to hold his first audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was only appointed on Tuesday in one of the queen's last ceremonial acts before her death.
He was also due to meet officials in charge of his accession and the elaborate arrangements for his mother's set-piece funeral.
He will decide on the length of the royal household's period of mourning, which is expected to last a month, while the UK government will observe 10 days of official remembrance, when limited business is conducted.
Gun salutes -- one round for every year of the queen's life -- will be fired across Hyde Park in central London and from the Tower of London, the ancient royal fortress on the River Thames.
Muffled church bells will toll at Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and Windsor Castle, among other places, and Union flags will fly at half-mast.
Truss and other senior ministers are set to attend a public remembrance service at St Paul's, while the UK parliament will start two days of special tributes.
#photo1The queen's death and its ceremonial aftermath comes as the government strives to rush through emergency legislation to tackle the kind of war-fuelled economic privation that marked the start of Elizabeth's reign in 1952.
Tributes
British newspapers were inevitably dominated by the queen's passing, printing special editions to mark the occasion.
"Our hearts are broken," headlined popular tabloid the Daily Mail. "We loved you Ma'am," said The Sun. The Mirror wrote simply: "Thank you."
#photo2Elizabeth, whose public appearances had become rarer, died following months of ill-health that first came to light after she spent an unscheduled night in hospital in October 2021 for undisclosed health tests.
In one of her last official acts, on Tuesday she appointed Truss as the 15th prime minister of her reign, which started with Winston Churchill in Downing Street
She was seen smiling in photographs but looked frail and leant on a walking stick. Her hand was also bruised dark blue-purple, sparking concern.
Her coffin will initially remain at Balmoral, a private residence set among thousands of acres (hectares) of rolling grouse moors and forests.
Her closest family members had rushed to be at her bedside at Balmoral, where her body will now lie before being taken to the Scottish capital Edinburgh.
From there, it is expected to travel by train to London for a lying in state and funeral.
#photo3Speaking on the steps of Downing Street shortly after her death was announced, Truss acclaimed the "second Elizabethan age", five centuries after the celebrated first.
"We offer him (Charles) our loyalty and devotion just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long," she said in the televised address. "God save the king."
Braving steady rain, crowds gathered late into Thursday night outside Buckingham Palace in London, and Windsor Castle west of the capital, with the number of well-wishers set to swell in the days ahead.
Londoner Joshua Ellis, 24, choked back tears as he mourned the "nation's grandmother" at the palace.
"I know she is 96 but there is still a sense of shock. She is in all our minds and hearts," he said.
#photo4"You could always look to the queen, to a sense of stability. Every time people needed support, she was there."
'Cherished sovereign'
Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne aged just 25 in the exhausted aftermath of World War II, joining a world stage dominated by political figures from Winston Churchill to Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin.
Her record-breaking reign straddled two centuries of seismic social, political and technological upheaval.
#photo5The last vestiges of Britain's vast empire crumbled. At home, Brexit shook the foundations of her kingdom, and her family endured a series of scandals.
But throughout, she remained consistently popular and was head of state not just of the United Kingdom but 14 former British colonies, including Australia and Canada.
New Zealand proclaimed Charles its new king. But Australia's new government looks set to revive a push to ditch the monarchy, casting doubt on his inheritance even as it mourns the queen.
Britain's mourning will culminate in a final public farewell at Westminster Abbey in London. The funeral day will be a public holiday in the form of a Day of National Mourning.
Charles's coronation, an elaborate ritual steeped in tradition and history, will take place in the same historic surroundings, as it has for centuries, on a date to be fixed.
On Saturday, his reign will be formally proclaimed by the Accession Council, which comprises senior politicians, bishops, City of London dignitaries and Commonwealth ambassadors.
"During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the queen was so widely held," Charles said.

The British government`s "Operation Unicorn" is underway following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in Balmoral, Scotland. The UK authorities had devised Operation London Bridge to manage events during the first 10 days between the Queen`s death and the funeral. They had thought of Operation Unicorn in case the queen died in Scotland. She passed away in Balmoral, Scotland on September 8. "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow," the Royal Family said in a statement on Thursday.
Shortly before the Palace announced the Queen`s death, BBC presenters changed into black attire, black suits and ties, as part of `Operation London Bridge`. As per the documents seen by The Politico, Thursday will be declared as "D-Day" and each following day leading up to the funeral will be referred to as "D+1," "D+2" till the tenth of her death. As per one official memo, the code for conveying the message of the Queen`s death is "London bridge is down."
What will follow is a vast security operation to manage crowds and travel chaos, the report said. According to documents seen by Politico, the Royal family will next announce plans for the Queen`s funeral. Ten days after Queen`s death, the newly appointed UK Prime Minister Liz Truss will be the first member of the government to make a statement.
Aside from the statement from the PM and other members of the government, gun salutes will be arranged at all saluting stations. Subsequently, Liz Truss will hold an audience with the new king, and King Charles will deliver a broadcast to the nation.
The state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey and there will be a committal service in St. George`s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Thereafter, Queen Elizabeth II will be buried in the castle`s King George VI Memorial Chapel. The Queen was born on April 21, 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London. She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York - who later became King George VI - and Queen Elizabeth.
Operation Unicorn:
If the Queen passed away in London, Buckingham Palace already had a plan in place for her funeral, known as "London Bridge." However, according to news agency AFP, there were particular provisions in case the monarch passed away while she was in Scotland. This plan was codenamed ‘Operation Unicorn.’
The name ‘Operation Unicorn’ was chosen because unicorn is the national animal of Scotland and forms part of the royal coat of arms, along with the lion of England.
As per the documents seen by The Politico, Thursday will be declared as "D-Day" and each following day leading up to the funeral will be referred to as "D+1," "D+2" till the tenth of her death.

LONDON (AP) — Condolences poured in from around the world Thursday after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who became a global icon of calmness and fortitude through decades of political upheaval and social changes at home and abroad.
Elizabeth, who had been on the throne since 1952, when the nation was still rebuilding from the destruction of World War II, died Thursday afternoon at age 96 at Balmoral Castle, her summer residence in Scotland.
Here are some reactions to her death:
___
In India, once a British colony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Elizabeth “a stalwart of our times.”
“She personified dignity and decency in public life,” Modi tweeted.
___
Royalty across Europe mourned Elizabeth’s death.
Her life “set an example for all of us and will remain as a solid and valuable legacy for future generations,” Spanish King Felipe VI said in a telegram sent to her eldest son, now known as King Charles III.
“We will miss Her dearly,” he wrote, speaking for himself and his wife.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden called her “a constant presence, not only in British society but internationally.”
In Norway, King Harald said that for “nearly a century, Her Majesty devoted her life to the service of the Commonwealth, following the British people through good days and bad, in times of happiness and sorrow.”
___
President Joe Biden was informed of her death by senior advisers during a meeting in the Oval Office.
Elizabeth, who had met more than a dozen American presidents, “was a stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States,” he and first lady Jill Biden said in a statement, saying she “she defined an era.”
They later went to the British Embassy to offer condolences. “We mourn for all of you. She was a great lady,” Biden could be heard telling embassy staff.
___
France, Britain’s historic rival and contemporary ally, honored Elizabeth with flags at the presidential palace and public buildings ordered lowered to half-staff Friday.
President Emmanuel Macron hailed her “immutable moral authority” and her intimate knowledge of French.
He said no other foreign sovereign had visited the presidential palace more often than Elizabeth, who knew all eight presidents of contemporary France.
“The woman who stood alongside the giants of the 20th century on the path of history has left to join them,” Macron said in a statement.
___
Mourners also gathered at the British Embassy in Paris.
“She’s been a constant in my life,” said 70-year-old Robert Miller, a London resident in Paris for a conference.
“Whilst I know she was very old, she was still doing her work until yesterday,” he said. “Like anybody’s mother, you know, even if you think things are going well, at some point the end of an era comes, and you’re very sad. “
___
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a telegram to King Charles III.
“For many decades, Elizabeth II rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as authority on the world stage. I wish you courage and perseverance in the face of this heavy, irreparable loss.”
___
At the United Nations, the Security Council stood in silent tribute at the start of a meeting on Ukraine. France’s U.N. Ambassador Nicolas De Riviere, the council president, sent condolences on behalf of its 15 members.
Queen Elizabeth II presided “over a period of historic changes both for her country and the world,” he said. “Her life was devoted to the service of her country.”
___
Elizabeth was mourned across the 54-nation Commonwealth, a group built around Britain and its former colonies.
In Ghana, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recalled Elizabeth’s visits to his country and praised “the friendliness, elegance, style and sheer joy she brought to the performance of her duties.”
“We shall miss her inspiring presence, her calm, her steadiness, and, above all, her great love and belief in the higher purpose of the Commonwealth of Nations, and in its capacity to be a force for good in our world,” he said in a statement.
____
“For most Canadians, we have known no other sovereign,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. He called her “a constant presence in our lives — and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history.”
“I’m having trouble believing that my last sit-down with her was my last,” Trudeau said later. “I will so miss those chats.”
Elizabeth, who was Canada’s head of state, visited the country 22 times as monarch.
____
The queen’s death comes as a growing number of British territories in the Caribbean seek to replace the monarch with their own heads of state amid demands that Britain apologize for its colonial-era abuses and award its former colonies slavery reparations.
Still, Caribbean leaders from Jamaica to Bermuda and beyond mourned her death.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness said that for many years she visited the island every decade.
“Undoubtedly, she formed a special bond with the people of Jamaica,” he said. “We are saddened that we will not see her light again, but we will remember her historic reign.”
Bermuda Premier David Burt noted that her reign “has spanned decades of such immense change for the United Kingdom and the world.”
___
Elton John said in a tweet that she was “an inspiring presence to be around, and lead the country through some of our greatest, and darkest, moments.”
The acclaimed musician reworked his hit “Candle in the Wind” as a tribute to Princess Diana when she died unexpectedly in 1997.
___
All the living former U.S. presidents issued statements soon after Elizabeth’s death.
Donald Trump said on his social media platform that Elizabeth “will always be remembered for her faithfulness to her country and her unwavering devotion to her fellow countrymen and women.”
“Melania and I will always cherish our time together with the queen, and never forget Her Majesty’s generous friendship, great wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor. What a grand and beautiful lady she was – there was nobody like her!”
Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, said she made “the role of Queen her own — with a reign defined by grace, elegance, and a tireless work ethic, defying the odds and expectations placed on women of her generation.”
He said she welcomed him and his wife — the first Black American president and first lady — to the world stage “with open arms and extraordinary generosity” and said they were struck by her ability to put people at ease.
George W. Bush called her “a woman of great intellect, charm, and wit.”
“Spending time at Buckingham Palace, and having tea with Her Majesty – and her Corgis – is among our fondest memories of the presidency,” he said in a statement.
Bill Clinton said he and his wife, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, joined people around the world “in giving thanks for her extraordinary life.”
“Throughout her remarkable 70-year reign, she led Britain through great transformations with unfailing grace, dignity, and genuine care for the welfare of all its people. In sunshine or storm, she was a source of stability, serenity, and strength,” he said in a statement on Twitter.
Jimmy Carter said in a statement that Elizabeth’s “dignity, graciousness and sense of duty have been an inspiration and we join the millions around the world in mourning a remarkable leader.”
___
In Washington, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine recalled how Elizabeth had joked with him when she visited Virginia in 2007 while he was governor.
He asked the queen’s security detail whether he should offer the queen his arm while going up a steep set of Capitol steps. They assured him she’d be fine. But when she arrived a few weeks later, she looked at him and deadpanned, “they expect me to go up this?”
Kaine was momentarily flustered.
“She was just pulling my leg. She just walked up just as fast as can be,” Kaine said.
The queen’s visit came not long after a gunman at a Virginia university, Virginia Tech, killed dozens of people. The queen met with people from the university and well as grieving family members.
“That really meant a lot,” Kaine said.
___
“She lived history, she made history. And with her passing, she leaves a magnificent, inspirational legacy,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said.
___
Praise even came from the fictional Paddington Bear, the beloved British children’s book character. The bear shared tea with the queen in a video shown in June during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“Thank you Ma’am, for everything,” said a statement Thursday on the Paddington Bear Twitter feed.

Green Room: Matt, Tony wait patiently for schedule to toughen … and for college hoops
It's Week 2 of the Green Room podcast, and Detroit News writers Matt Charboneau and Tony Paul look back at the Michigan State Spartans' easy 35-13 ride over the Western Michigan Broncos and look ahead to the Akron Zips -- and beyond, to beefier competition. And to hoops season.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Two college campuses locked down. City buses stopped running. A baseball stadium halted a game, and frightened residents stayed indoors as a gunman spent hours cruising around Memphis and shooting people, apparently at random.
Authorities said the assailant suspected of killing four people and wounding three livestreamed some of the carnage using his cellphone. He was arrested late Wednesday after crashing a stolen car while fleeing police.
The violence unfolded just a few months after 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly was released early from a three-year prison sentence for a pair of shootings in 2020. Now he’s charged with first-degree murder.
The bloodshed played out as the city was still reeling from the brutal killing of a jogger who was abducted during her early morning run less than a week earlier.
“This has been a horrific week for the city of Memphis,” Police Director Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said.
Authorities offered no explanation Thursday of a possible motive. Nor did they say how Kelly managed to obtain the gun or guns used in the attacks.
The shootings shut down much of the city, and police warned people to shelter in place. The minor-league Memphis Redbirds cleared the field during a game. Friends and relatives frantically called and texted each other, and TV stations cut into regular programming with updates.
Police said the first victim was killed more than 15 hours before the other shootings occurred.
Just before 1 a.m. Wednesday, at least three witnesses saw Kelly fatally shoot Dewayne Tunstall in the head outside a home in east Memphis, according to a police affidavit. It said Kelly pulled Tunstall to the side, then during their conversation drew a handgun and fired several shots.
Marcus Cash, a close friend and business partner of Tunstall’s, came running after he heard the gunshots from his home. One round pierced the window of his child’s bedroom.
When he saw Tunstall’s body, he laid down in anguish beside the man who had been like a brother. Cash said he was so distraught that police held him as a precaution for several hours to give him time to calm down.
Asked what he told police, Cash said: “You all better catch him before I do.”
The second shooting came hours later at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, when officers found a man dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside a vehicle, according to police. A woman who had been shot in the leg was discovered minutes later, still alive.
More shootings were reported over the next 4 1/2 hours. During that time, police received a tip at about 6 p.m. that the suspect was livestreaming himself and threatening to hurt people, Davis said.
In one clip from the video, the suspect casually speaks to the camera before opening the door to an AutoZone store and shooting someone inside with what appeared to be a pistol. That man was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
In another, a man narrates himself driving — “green light, green light” — and sings “no faking.” At one point, he fires two rapid bursts of gunfire from the driver’s window. Referring to police, he says he’s going to “go down to the valley, shoot it out with them in the valley.”
Three more shootings and two carjackings followed after police sent an alert warning people to be on the lookout for the suspect.
Police said Kelly killed a woman as he took her SUV, then shot and wounded a man nearby. The final victim, another woman, was found dead about an hour later, just before 9 p.m.
Kelly drove across the state line into neighboring Southaven, Mississippi, where he committed another carjacking at gunpoint but left the driver uninjured, police said.
Officers quickly spotted the stolen Dodge Challenger on Interstate 55. Kelly was arrested after he crashed during a high-speed chase, Davis said. Two guns were found in the vehicle.
It was not immediately known Thursday whether Kelly had an attorney.
One of the gunman’s victims, Allison Parker, was a medical assistant with three children, said Debbie Holland, Parker’s mother-in-law. Holland said her grandchildren now have no parents, since their father died a couple of years ago.
“She was beautiful, intelligent, kindhearted, giving — she would help anybody who asked,” Holland said of Parker. “She didn’t deserve to die at the hands of this monster.”
Facebook parent company Meta said Thursday that it removed the suspect’s livestream before Memphis police sent their initial alert, but the company declined to say for how long the live video was streaming. The company said it also removed the suspect’s Facebook account and has continuously removed content such as copies of the video or messages praising the attack.
Memphis has been shaken by several high-profile killings in recent weeks, including the shooting of a pastor during a daylight carjacking in her driveway, the shooting of an activist during an argument over money and the slaying of jogger Eliza Fletcher following her abduction near the University of Memphis.
Mayor Jim Strickland told reporters he was outraged that Kelly had been released early from prison in March after pleading guilty last year to aggravated assault charges.
“This is no way for us to live, and it is not acceptable,” said Strickland, who later pounded the podium as he demanded accountability. He added: “If Mr. Kelly served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today, and four of our fellow citizens would still be alive.”
In February 2020, Kelly, then 17, was charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder and other crimes in two shootings committed a few hours apart. Both victims survived but didn’t cooperate with prosecutors, according to court records, and Kelly pleaded guilty to reduced charges of aggravated assault in April 2021.
Kelly was sentenced to three years in prison, but was released in March after serving just over two years behind bars, including credit he received for time he was jailed prior to his plea.
Months before his release, Kelly was denied parole in September 2021. He told the Tennessee Board of Parole that he had an “anger management problem,” according to a recording of his parole hearing, and that he was taking medication to help with nightmares.
Strickland thanked legislators for passing Tennessee’s so-called “truth in sentencing” law this year. The statute, which took effect after Kelly was freed, requires inmates to serve entire sentences for certain violent felonies.
The area’s top prosecutor, Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy, is a fellow Democrat who was elected in August after arguing against the sentencing law, saying it drives up prison costs without reducing crime. Mulroy said there was no tension Thursday between him and the mayor.
“Both of us think that all these cases, including the tragic incidents from last night, need to be dealt with strongly,” said Mulroy, who played no role in Kelly’s prior prosecution and sentencing. “The public policy debate can be discussed another day.”

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Josh Allen passed for 297 yards while accounting for four touchdowns, Von Miller had two of Buffalo's seven sacks, and the Bills stamped themselves as a clear contender for the Rams' Super Bowl crown with a 31-10 victory over Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Gabe Davis, Isaiah McKenzie and Stefon Diggs caught TD passes as the two-time defending AFC East champion Bills opened the NFL's 103rd season by overcoming four turnovers and running away with a blowout win in the same stadium where the Rams won the Super Bowl nearly seven months ago.
Allen went 26 for 31 despite two interceptions. He also rushed for 56 yards, scrambling for a 4-yard TD when he stretched the ball over the line with 13:27 to play. The star quarterback took his share of hits, but he also dished them out and showed off a mean stiff-arm while Buffalo's offense under new coordinator Ken Dorsey largely dominated the champs.
“There’s a lot to learn, but that second half, that’s who we want to be, going out there and executing that way,” Allen said. “We were 90% on third down. That’s a recipe for success.”
Matthew Stafford passed for 240 yards with one TD and three interceptions on a bruising night for the Rams, who lost a season opener and fell below .500 for the first time in coach Sean McVay's six seasons in charge.
“Very humbling night, but one where you look yourself in the mirror and say you have to be better,” McVay said. "We weren’t ready to go. That’s on me. ... There were a lot of decisions I made that didn’t put us in the best position to succeed. It was a very humbling night.”
The Bills' seven sacks were the most allowed in McVay's tenure with the Rams, who lost two starters from last year's offensive line and attempted to replace them internally.
Diggs punctuated the domination with a 53-yard TD catch with 9:25 to play, talking trash to Rams All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey afterward.
“We’re going to make the plane do backflips on the way home tonight,” Miller said. “We’re going to celebrate this win, because you have to, but then we’re going to go back to the lab. We’re not going to let this success put our guard down.”
Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp had 13 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown, but the Rams' night went quickly downhill after they unveiled their championship banner in a pregame ceremony. Los Angeles could not keep up with Allen’s creative playmaking or the Bills’ pass rush, and its only major offseason addition on offense — receiver Allen Robinson — had one catch on two targets.
The Rams even got shut out in the second half, ending a streak of 89 consecutive halves with a point since November 2019.
Miller made an immediate impact in his debut for the Bills, who signed him away from the Rams after he won a ring in his half-season in LA. But he was just one part of a defense that yielded only 177 yards before Los Angeles' final, meaningless drive.
Aaron Donald made his 99th career sack in the first half, but the seven-time All-Pro had just two tackles as the Rams became only the second defending champions in the last 10 years to lose the following season opener. Los Angeles trailed 17-10 after three quarters, but Buffalo ran away with two lengthy TD drives early in the fourth quarter.
With Dorsey taking over from Brian Daboll, the Bills went 9 for 10 on third downs and racked up 413 total yards, but three first-half turnovers kept it close early.
Allen set a career high to start a game by completing his first 10 passes, but linebacker Terrell Lewis' interception stopped Buffalo's second drive in Rams territory. Rookie James Cook fumbled away his first touch for Buffalo moments later, but Dane Jackson made an interception two snaps after that.
Los Angeles finally scored on its fourth drive when Kupp made an exceptional toe-tapping catch in the back of the end zone on a precise throw three minutes before halftime. The Rams got the ball back on Troy Hill's interception, and Matt Gay hit a 57-yard field goal to pull the Rams even at the halftime gun.
50K
With a long third-down pass to Kupp on his opening drive, Stafford became the 12th quarterback in NFL history to pass for 50,000 career yards. He tied Drew Brees as the fastest to the mark, doing it in 183 games.
TO THE RAFTERS
Along with the banner to celebrate last February's title, the Rams also hung a banner in the south rafters at SoFi Stadium honoring the 1999-2000 Super Bowl champions from the St. Louis era. The brief pregame ceremony included owner Stan Kroenke, retired left tackle Andrew Whitworth — and free agent Odell Beckham Jr., who held aloft the Lombardi Trophy.
INJURIES
Bills DL Ed Oliver injured his ankle in the first half and tried to play through it, but couldn't do much. ... Rams rookie RB Kyren Williams injured his ankle in the opening minutes. ... The Rams played without WR Van Jefferson, who had knee surgery early in training camp after starting 21 games last season.

GRAINS-Soybeans near three-week low on supply outlook; wheat, corn slip
By Naveen Thukral
SINGAPORE, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Chicago soybean futures lost more ground on Wednesday, with prices dropping to their lowest in three weeks, on expectations of a record U.S. production and higher South American planting.
Wheat and corn prices slid for the first time in three sessions.
The most-active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) lost 1% to $ 13.85 a bushel, as of 0332 GMT, after dropping to its weakest since Aug. 18 at $13.84 a bushel.
Wheat fell 0.8% to $8.10 a bushel and corn gave up 0.9% to 6.69-3/4 a bushel.
Forecasts of a record U.S. soybean crop are weighing on prices, as farmers prepare for harvesting their crop.
Weekly condition ratings for U.S. corn and soybean crops held steady in the latest week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Tuesday, bucking analyst estimates for a decline as dry conditions gripped portions of the western Midwest.
In its weekly crop progress report, the USDA rated 54% of the U.S. corn crop and 57% of the soybean in good to excellent condition, unchanged from a week earlier.
Favourable early projections for Brazil's next soybean and corn crops were adding pressure on Chicago futures.
Argentine soybean farmers registered 268,000 tonnes of sales during the last week of August, according to agriculture ministry data released on Tuesday, as the country expects the pace of sales to increase as new incentives kick in.
Russia on Tuesday questioned a U.N.-brokered deal with Ukraine to boost grain and fertilizer exports by both countries, accusing Western states of failing to honour pledges to help facilitate Moscow's shipments.
Commodity funds were net sellers of CBOT soybean, soyoil and soymeal futures contracts on Tuesday, traders said. The funds were net buyers of CBOT corn and wheat. (Reporting by Naveen Thukral; Editing by Rashmi Aich)

FROSTBURG — Members of the Frostburg Volunteer Fire Department questioned Frostburg City Council members about comments made at an August meeting during the governing body’s Thursday afternoon work session.
Fire department President Todd Logsdon, past chief and current rescue captain Joe Hoffman, business manager Gary Tummino and treasurer Dayne Lancaster met with the council to discuss comments made during a special work session held Aug. 30.
During that meeting, council members indicated support for providing the department with American Rescue Plan funds for the purchase of a new fire truck, but not without the fire department first undergoing an independent audit. The department requested $750,000, and the ladder truck is projected to cost an estimated $2 million.
Hoffman said he was “appalled by what I observed” during last month’s meeting.
“What I saw was the team’s integrity, competency and accountability questioned,” Hoffman said.
There’s also “a knowledge gap” for both city residents and the council about the department’s duties in town, Hoffman said, “and it should be disturbing around the city of Frostburg to see such a disconnect.”
Logsdon presented a list of the comments made with which the firefighters were displeased.
Logsdon first asked Finance Commissioner Donnie Carter, who attended Thursday’s meeting by phone, to clarify his comment that the department hadn’t been “straightforward” with the council about their finances. Carter said that the city, county and Frostburg State University provide approximately $350,000 to the department annually, “but the budget that was given to us only shows somewhere around $315,000 in income.”
The fire department receives $345,000 from those entities, Logsdon responded, and submitted the council a $332,000 budget. The additional funds, Logsdon said, go to state funds that the department doesn’t directly receive.
“The money never touches our hands or our accounts,” Lancaster said.
Hoffman said the new truck will take about two years to build, and the one they’ve had since 2004 “already has signs of wear” and most likely can’t be stretched for use for another decade.
“Once it fails ladder testing, it’s basically a very heavy paperweight,” Hoffman said. Failing equipment, he said, risks the lives of both firefighters and the people they save. National Fire Protection Administration standards dictate trucks be replaced every 20 years, Hoffman said.
They’ve taken preventive maintenance measures “at huge expense,” Logsdon added.
Asked about her agreement with Carter’s statement at the earlier meeting, Commissioner of Water, Parks and Recreation Nina Forsythe said she felt “there has been a disconnect, and if the chief had come to our monthly meetings and given a report ... we could talk one-on-one about what the challenges are and what you need and why, and not have everything come by hearsay with incomplete information.”
“This is a lot more than I had known in the last couple years about what your challenges are,” Forsythe said. “It would have been nice to have known that a long time ago.”
“Or, by the same token, the council could come to the fire station,” Lancaster replied.
Logsdon also asked about Carter’s comment that the department should have been audited a decade ago, to which Carter responded that the council was trying to assure the money was spent properly.
“I’ve been on the council for 12 years and we’ve received one financial report from you in 12 years,” Carter said. “The charter requires that we get that every year, and we’ve asked for it before in the past. Until this past year, we had never seen it.”
Logsdon said he’d offered to send City Administrator Elizabeth Stahlman copies of the department’s last 10 years of financial statements. Lancaster said of his eight years as treasurer, he’d never been asked for a budget until this year.
The council’s comments, Tummino said, were “almost defamatory.”
Forsythe attributed her characterization of the department as “untrustworthy” came from a “discrepancy” that “made it seem questionable.”
“You can see where I’m coming from,” Forsythe said.
“No, I can’t,” replied Lancaster.
“We had to request this meeting to defend against what you said about us,” Logsdon said. “ ... We’re not in any way, shape or form trying to hide anything.”
Forsythe apologized for her comments.
“I do want to say that we need you, and I recognize that,” Forsythe said. “I think it was really remiss of me not to mention that during that meeting, because the fire department is an integral part of this city.”
Lancaster asked if the city wanted them to proceed with the audit.
Public Works Commissioner Adam Ritchey said he felt “a lot more comfortable” after discussing the subject with the department.
“I think we’ve got the answers we wanted here. I’m comfortable without the audit,” Carter said.
Stahlman asked the department to provide financial and tax statements for the last few years.
The council meets next on Sept. 15 at 3 p.m.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nursing homes and debt collectors are flouting a law that prohibits them from requiring friends and family of care home residents to shoulder the costs of the facilities, according to a federal report issued Thursday.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said friends and family members have had to declare bankruptcy, had their wages garnished and their homes repossessed after signing unenforceable contracts called “admission agreements” with nursing facilities. As a result, they have been held liable as third parties for their loved ones’ nursing home stays.
Distraught relatives, in sometimes emotional testimony, and lawyers for families told regulators Thursday about collectors seeking tens of thousands of dollars — even hundreds of thousands — in unpaid nursing home fees.
An increase in complaints led the agency and Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to send a letter to nursing homes and their debt collectors reminding them to follow the law.
Rohit Chopra, director of the consumer bureau, held a virtual public hearing with advocates, nursing home administrators and people affected by what they say are unlawful debt collection practices.
Anna Anderson, a consumer protection lawyer in New York, said she has seen hundreds of lawsuits filed against friends and family of care home residents that seek reimbursement for of facilities’ costs.
“It’s not only routine” she said. “It’s a deeply troubling practice.”
She said it “puts families in a position of having to choose between protecting their family members at nursing facilities or putting themselves in a position of financial ruin.”
Chris Ferris spoke of how he received a collection letter for thousands of dollars for his mother’s nursing home stay. Through tears, he pleaded with bureau officials on the call to do something to stop creditors from hounding him and others for money that should not be legally owed.
“I implore you to do something to stop them,” he said. “This is wrong.”
The report described one woman who was sent to collections for $80,000 two days after her mother’s death. Another woman received a letter from a law firm stating that she owed the nursing home $17,000 after her friend’s death. The report did not identify the individuals by name.
The consumer bureau said in a statement that “collection of debts from those contracts may violate the consumer financial protection laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act” and its prohibition on false, deceptive, or misleading representations connected to debt collection.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 1.3 million people live in nursing homes.
As more people in the United States age, the cost of nursing home care is growing along with demand. The price has soar in the past 20 years. In 2021, the annual median cost of a single room in a nursing home was $108,405. Between 2004 and 2020, the cost rose by more than 60%.
Most older adults are not insured against the costs of long-term care. Medicare, which covers adults once they reach 65, offers limited benefits based on need and only pays for nursing home care for up to 100 days. Medicaid helps low-income people pay for nursing home care but eligibility rules can be stringent.
The Nursing Home Reform Act prevents facilities “from requiring a person other than the resident to assume personal responsibility for any cost of the resident’s care.”
But why that seems to happen so often is due in part to lax government enforcement, said Eric Carlson, a lawyer at Justice in Aging. Carlson said during the hearing that agencies in charge of oversight rarely cite and fine companies that require third parties to sign admission agreements.
David Bifulco, a Pennsylvania lawyer who represents debtors sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars, said the bureau and other agencies should educate federal and local courts about the prevalence of the problem, before they a default judgement is entered.
“It would go a long way,” he said.

The high-profile killings rattling Memphis this week have added fuel to calls by some politicians for stricter sentencing laws throughout the U.S., sparking alarm among criminal justice reform advocates who say that approach is outdated and ineffective.
The political division has only deepened as many maintain that the deaths — of a jogger last week and a spate of shooting victims Wednesday — would have been avoided had the latest version of Tennessee’s so-called “truth in sentencing” statute been in effect.
Such measures generally require those convicted of certain felony crimes to serve at least 85% of their imposed sentences. The new Tennessee law, which took effect July 1, now requires defendants to serve entire sentences for certain convictions and updates the list of convictions where at least 85% of a sentence must be served.
While the laws’ backers are largely Republicans, Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland, a Democrat, also said that if the state’s law had been in place earlier, the killings would not have happened. “This is no way for us to live, and it is not acceptable,” he said.
The arguments frustrate those who want to eliminate harsh sentencing laws. They counter that such tough-on-crime policies don’t reduce crime rates and only further spike prison populations.
“The vast majority of people who come home from prison never engage in gun violence,” David Muhammad, executive director of the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, said in an interview.
Muhammad has worked in Memphis and said he previously had a meeting scheduled with Strickland for next week. He plans to promote investing in community violence prevention programs rather than stricter sentences.
“The issue with truth in sentencing is that it eliminates the possibility that somebody might be prepared for release sooner and that all people sort of are corrected at a certain period of time, which is of course not true,” said Ashley Nellis, a senior research analyst with The Sentencing Project. “People reform over different periods of time that fluctuate from person to person.”
But as calls to revisit so-called truth in sentencing laws have increased, lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle have remained hesitant to do so out of fear of looking weak on crime, Nellis added.
Tennessee was among the small handful of states that have required individuals to serve a minimum amount of their sentences since the 1980s — when the idea initially began taking off. However, under the 1994 federal crime bill signed by President Bill Clinton, states were given incentives to adopt such laws by promising them more money to build prisons if they did so. By 1998, nearly 30 states had adopted some form of “truth in sentencing” as the incarcerated population and the number of prisons grew.
The percentage of sentences that must be served varies, as well as the crimes covered by the law, but they can range anywhere from 50% to 100%.
GOP leaders in Tennessee have used the recent killings in Memphis to tout the state’s strict new sentencing measure and to call for stricter measures.
Earlier this week, U.S. Marshals arrested Cleotha Abston, 38, in connection with the killing of Eliza Fletcher, who was abducted last week during a pre-dawn run.
Abston previously kidnapped a prominent Memphis attorney in 2000 when he was 16 years old. He spent 20 years in prison for that crime, but he had been sentenced to 24.
“This case not only proves that the recently passed Truth in Sentencing Act was necessary, but that it was long overdue,” Tennessee Lt. Gov. Randy McNally said in a statement. Fletcher, he declared, “would be alive today” if Abston had completed his full sentence. On Thursday, he told The Associated Press that the events show that “we do need the law and possibly need to expand the law.”
On Wednesday, a gunman livestreamed himself driving around Memphis shooting at people, killing four and wounding three others in seemingly random attacks. After Ezekiel Kelly was identified, some pointed out that he he had been released early from a prison sentence for aggravated assault — something that would not be allowed under the state’s current law.
Kelly was sentenced to three years in prison, but was released in March after serving just over two years behind bars, including credit he received for time he was jailed prior to his plea.
“He had a violent history,” said Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a Republican. “And you cannot treat violent criminals the same as nonviolent.”
Sexton said he would support removing or reducing a credit program that helps inmates shave more time off their sentences for good behavior and trying juveniles as adults if they commit violent crimes. Those proposals will likely be introduced during the 2023 legislative session, which starts in January.
But Stephanie Wylie, counsel in the Brennan Center’s Justice Program, said strict sentencing laws eliminate the incentive for people in prison to take rehabilitative classes in exchange for reducing their time.
“These classes make it easier for incarcerated people to reintegrate into the community,” Wylie said.
And Kate Trammell with the nonprofit Prison Fellowship stressed that justice is about more than prison time.
“(Justice) demands that time behind bars prepare people to live as good citizens,” she said. “The suggestion that removing rehabilitation incentives from sentencing laws could make communities safer is a dangerous step backward. Instead, we must take what we have learned about justice that restores and use it to protect our neighbors.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — In the South Bay, the ongoing battle over the fate of Reid-Hillview Airport in San Jose is getting attention from the federal government. Several years ago, a study commissioned by Santa Clara County found elevated levels of lead in the blood of children living near the airport.
In response, the county banned the sale of leaded fuel at the airport a little over a year ago. But if a pilot purchases leaded fuel somewhere else they can still land and take off here.
That has raised concerns that the use of leaded fuel could still be causing health problems for neighbors. Thursday, some of Santa Clara County’s top elected officials called on the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration to do more to address the problem.
“If you can land and take off with leaded fuel, you are going to pollute the children of this community”
In a statement to KRON4 on Thursday, the FAA said they are working to move the country away from leaded aviation fuel, saying, “Just last week, the FAA cleared the way for an unleaded aviation fuel to be used throughout the nation’s fleet of piston-powered aircraft–a major step forward.”
The statement was welcome news, but the county says the faa should move faster. “I’m finally glad we got a statement, but it should take press conferences and hearings to get the FAA to move.”
“This is the last sector in transportation where leaded fuel is still allowed. we don’t have it in commercial aviation. We don’t have it in automobiles. It needs to stop.”
KRON ON is streaming news live now
The FAA says they are also committed to working with Santa Clara County to have safe, lead-free operations at the airport. As things stand right now, Reid-Hillview could eventually be shut down. It relies on federal funding to operate, and the county voted several years ago to stop accepting FAA grants to keep it open. Currently, federal funding is set to run out in 2031.

Tropical Storm Kay dumps rain on Mexico’s Baja peninsula
Published: Sep. 9, 2022 at 12:22 AM EDT|Updated: 19 minutes ago
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Kay is dumping heavy rains on a sparsely populated area of Mexico’s Pacific coast and is expected to weaken further as it curls out to sea, possibly bringing rain to southernmost California by the weekend.
The eye of Kay came ashore as a hurricane near Mexico’s Bahia Asuncion in Baja California Sur state Thursday, but by evening it was a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph).
It had moved back over open water by late Thursday and was expected to weaken further Friday.

Wigan woman accused of violently attacking man found not guilty
A Wigan woman accused of launching a vicious attack on a man has been acquitted of all charges.
By Gaynor Clarke

Dancing With The Stars has announced its new batch of celebrities to take on the popular dance competition.
The hit US show will start its 31st season as a host of celebrities were named during an announcement on Good Morning America on Thursday.
The first series of the dance competition began in June 2005 and is based on the hugely popular BBC One show Strictly Come Dancing, with two former Strictly judges - Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli - on the panel on the US version.
The connections do not stop there as head judge on Strictly Come Dancing Shirley Ballas' son Mark is one of the professionals on the Stateside show.
However, there has been a real buzz after the 16 celebrities were confirmed for the Disney+ series, which gets under way on September 19.
One of the biggest stars to be unveiled was The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, 50, who will be partnered up with Pasha Kovalev.
Former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks is also one of the surprise names to be unveiled in the live announcement and she will hope to help partner Brandon Armstrong gain his first Mirrorball.
Reigning Mirrorball champion Daniella Karagach will have the honour of pairing up with Arnold Schwarznegger's son Joseph Baena.
Selma Blair, who is best known for starring in 1999 film Cruel Intentions and her open approach in having MS, will take to the dancefloor alongside Sasha Farber.
Several professionals have taken two Mirrorball crowns but no one in the current line-up have reached number three. Mark Ballas, who is one of four pros to be a two-time champion, is partnered up with social media personality Charli D'Amelio.
Cheryl Burke will target the three-peat alongside Good Morning America weather anchor Sam Champion, TV personality Gabby Windey is partnered up with Val Chmerkovskiy and Sex and the City actor Jason Lewis will link up with Peta Murgatroyd on the dancefloor.
Shangela will be the first drag queen to be cast on the show and they will form the dancing competition's first ever all-male partnership with Gleb Savchenko in its 17 year history.

Tropical Storm Kay dumps rain on Mexico’s Baja peninsula
Published: Sep. 8, 2022 at 11:22 PM CDT|Updated: 37 minutes ago
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Kay is dumping heavy rains on a sparsely populated area of Mexico’s Pacific coast and is expected to weaken further as it curls out to sea, possibly bringing rain to southernmost California by the weekend.
The eye of Kay came ashore as a hurricane near Mexico’s Bahia Asuncion in Baja California Sur state Thursday, but by evening it was a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph).
It had moved back over open water by late Thursday and was expected to weaken further Friday.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney has a reworked contract that will pay him $115 million over 10 seasons through 2031.
Swinney’s enhanced contract follows megadeals given to Alabama’s Nick Saban, Georgia’s Kirby Smart and Ohio State’s Ryan Day earlier this season. Swinney’s average yearly salary of $11.5 million sits only behind Saban’s $11.7 million average compensation.
The university’s board of trustees compensation committee approved the deal Thursday.
Swinney will make $10.5 million this season, a raise of $2 million scheduled under his old agreement signed in 2019. He’ll earn $12.5 million in the contract’s final year, 2031.
Each year, Swinney will get $305,000 in base salary. His supplemental income this season will be $6.695 million plus $3.5 million in licensing money.
Swinney’s total compensation will go up $250,000 for the next four years. He will remain at $11.5 million in 2026 and 2027, then continuing increasing by $250,000 the final four years of the agreement.
“I remain eternally grateful and honored for the opportunity to continue coach and developing young people of excellence,” said Swinney, who is in his 14th full season with the Tigers. “This agreement is representative of what has been collectively built here.”
The 52-year-old has won seven Atlantic Coast Conference titles, made the College Football Playoff six times and won national crowns after the 2016 and 2018 seasons.
The Tigers, fifth in the latest poll, open the home season Saturday against FCS opponent Furman.
Athletic director Graham Neff said it was “critical that Clemson invest in our football program and ensure our head coach is at Clemson for a long, long time.”
The contract includes a different tier for any buyout if Swinney were leave to coach his alma mater, Alabama — $9 million to join the Crimson Tide this year, but just $6 million for any other college head coaching job. Those figures are reduced, but remain different, as the contract continues.
Swinney wouldn’t owe anything if he left to become an NFL head coach.
Clemson would have to pay Swinney $64 million if it dismissed him without cause, a figure that decreases throughout the length of the deal.
There are several contract performance bonuses, including $350,000 for a national title and $200,000 for an ACC championship. Swinney would get $100,000 if his team’s Academic Progress Rate reaches 975 out of 1,000, according to the NCAA’s scale that tracks academic performance.
Swinney was elevated to interim head coach in 2008 at midseason when Tommy Bowden was let go . Then the receivers’ coach, Swinney went 4-2 down the stretch to earn the full-time job.
The Tigers reached their first ACC championship game in 2009, then won the title two years later. In 2015, Clemson began run of six straight league crowns and six consecutive CFP berths.
The Tigers have had 11 straight seasons of 10 wins or more.

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A DC woman is pushing to add suicide prevention barriers on the William Howard Taft Bridge after her partner died by suicide there earlier this year.
“I’ve been saying since he left I don’t have enough words to describe who he was,” said Chelsea Van Thof. “He was the best person I ever met, and I think I ever will meet. He was very giving. He would give you the shirt off his back. He was kind and caring and witty.”
29-year-old Dr. Peter Tripp died by suicide in April, after jumping from the bridge.
A veterinarian, Tripp was the oldest son, with three younger brothers. He loved to read fantasy books, play board games and Dungeons and Dragons.
Van Thof recounted the night he died.
“He walked out the door. I thought he was taking out the trash,” she said. “And then a few minutes later, I got a text form him saying, ‘he never understood why I loved him. But, all he knew was he loved me.’ I realized halfway through what it was.”
She tried to call him, but his phone went to voicemail. Police pinged his phone to the Adams Morgan neighborhood. And Van Thof and friends went to look for him. It’s when she was standing on the Ellington Bridge, which has suicide prevention barriers in place, that she noticed flashing lights and crime tape below the Taft Bridge.
“I looked through the suicide barrier of the Ellington Bridge to a bridge that is identical in heigh and size that does not have a barrier. And I can’t wrap my head around that,” said Van Thof.
Since then, she’s made it her mission to get the same barriers on the Taft Bridge.
“I think a part of me feels like I will get a small part of Peter back by doing this, by paying it forward by helping other people,” she said. “I want them to know there are other options and it is an impulse. if that bridge had a barrier, Peter would still be here. It cuts through the impulse.”
Two Advisory Neighborhood Commissions are on board with her efforts.
Earlier this summer, ANC 3C passed a resolution supporting the installation of the barriers, which are essentially higher fencing to prevent people from going over the bridge.
“You don’t notice the difference (between the two bridges) until someone points,” said Janell Pagats, ANC 3C Commissioner.
Pagats has helped lead the charge among neighborhood leaders.
“The barriers are shown to be proven by many studies to give people the gift of time, where they sometimes just need a moment to reconsider what is the ultimate decision. It’s a simple fix,” she said.
Wednesday, Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1C passed a similar resolution.
“This was a very important resolution and everybody on the commission was happy to support it,” said Fiona Clem, Chair of the Commission.
Both the Ellington and Taft bridges are known problem areas for suicide attempts.
According to city data pulled by the commissions, the DC Medical Examiners Office has investigated 26 suicides involving people jumping from a bridge between January 1, 2010 and June 1, 2022. 15 of those happened between the two bridges.
The difference, is that the Ellington Bridge does have the suicide barriers.
They were installed in the late 80’s after several people took their lives there. Plans did exist for the barriers to go up on the Taft, but those were abandoned.
Van Thof hopes to change that.
“The day after, it was like one of the first things I said to someone when I was talking about it, ‘that bridge is going to get a barrier if have to die trying.’ And I said that unironically,” she said.
This does still need support from City Council. It’ll also require approval by several historic preservation groups.

In a recent study published in the journal BMJ Open, researchers investigated the impact of folic acid supplements and methotrexate, in combination or individually, on disease severity and mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.
Study: Folic acid and methotrexate use and their association with COVID-19 diagnosis and mortality: a case–control analysis from the UK Biobank. Image Credit: Pixel-Shot / Shutterstock
Background
Folate, or vitamin B9, plays a vital role in various cellular functions, including amino acid synthesis in protein metabolism and nucleic acid metabolism for the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and ribonucleic acids (RNA). However, studies have shown that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) hijacks the host cell’s folate and glucose reserves to replicate the viral genome. This viral replication is reported to be sensitive to folate inhibitors such as methotrexate, which is widely prescribed as a chemotherapy agent and a first-line disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Folic acid — the oxidized form of folate — is prescribed as a supplement to pregnant women and as a treatment for conditions such as sickle cell anemia and epileptic seizures. In the United States and 80 other countries, folic acid is used to fortify foods, and the United Kingdom intends to follow suit. Considering the current and future widespread use of folic acid supplements, it is important to understand the role of folic acid in aiding SARS-CoV-2 replication and exacerbating COVID-19 severity.
About the study
The present study carried out a case-control analysis to determine the differential COVID-19 diagnosis and mortality risk associated with the use of folic acid supplements and methotrexate medications. The dataset obtained from the UK Biobank (UKBB) consisted of information from 380,380 participants who had been prescribed folic acid, methotrexate, anticonvulsants, iron supplements, and other medications such as statins. The availability of body mass index (BMI) measure, Townsend deprivation index, and smoking status data also determined the selection of participants.
Participants were considered COVID-19 positive based on a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 and an International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 code for confirmed or probable COVID-19. Of the 380,380 participants selected from UKBB, 26,033 were COVID-19 positive cases, of whom 820 had succumbed to the disease.
The data were also grouped according to ethnicity, sex, age (below 60 and above 74 years), and additional comorbidity factors such as RA and sickle cell anemia. The association of the prescription data with COVID-19 diagnosis and mortality was analyzed. Statistical models were adjusted for demographic factors, comorbidities, and other medications.
Results
The study results indicate a 1.5-fold increase in COVID-19 diagnosis risk and a 2.5-fold increase in COVID-19-related mortality risk associated with folic acid supplement prescriptions. Patients on prescribed methotrexate and folic acid supplements were not at increased risk of COVID-19 diagnosis or death, indicating that methotrexate could play an antagonistic role against the deleterious effect of folic acid in COVID-19 patients.
Methotrexate was not associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 diagnosis. However, given the small sample size of mortality cases who were prescribed methotrexate in the absence of folic acid supplements, the researchers could not determine the mortality risk associated with a prescription of only methotrexate.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients who were not on DMARD therapy were at an increased risk of COVID-19-related mortality, which could indicate the absence of the protective effect of methotrexate, confounded by indications due to other medications or poor disease management. Compared to medicines like sulfasalazine, rituximab, and other immunosuppressants, methotrexate showed lower odds of COVID-19-related mortality.
The study also presents information highlighting the importance of optimum folate levels. Folate deficiency has been linked to suppression of immune function and poor outcomes in some COVID-19 patients. Low vitamin B12 levels linked to folate deficiency have also been associated with COVID-19 severity. The authors believe that host resistance to COVID-19 might depend on an optimal range of folate in the body, with both deficiency and excess being detrimental to the resistance against SARS-CoV-2.
Some of the limitations to the analysis include (1) the inability to account for other treatment methods such as antivirals and monoclonal antibodies affecting the outcome in COVID-19 patients and (2) the difficulty in generalizing the findings of the study to the larger population as the sample set was dominated by middle-aged (older than 45 years) white European participants.
Conclusions
To summarize, with caveats on the inference of causality, the study supports the hypothesis that high folate levels resulting from folic acid supplements could increase the risk of COVID-19 diagnosis and death. Methotrexate, a folate antagonist, provides some protective effect against the detrimental effects of folic acid in COVID-19 patients. Still, the widespread, use of folic acid supplements highlights the need for more thorough studies on the role of folic acid in COVID-19 progression.

In parts of southern California that have been severely drought-stricken for months, residents are bracing for a storm that could drop a year's worth of rain -- and cause dangerous flash floods.
The extreme weather is forecast as Tropical Storm Kay moves northward after making landfall in Mexico as a Category 1 hurricane Thursday afternoon. Kay was downgraded to a tropical storm Thursday evening, but was still packing winds of 70 mph with even stronger wind gusts.
Those powerful, damaging winds are threatening to push already high temperatures across California even higher, extending a brutal heat wave that's fueled raging wildfires, strained the state's energy grid and prompted officials to urge residents to conserve energy use in the hopes of avoiding rolling power outages. More than 40 million Californians remain under heat alerts and triple digit temperatures are expected to continue Friday.
People are also reading…
Kay is weakening, but the storm is not expected to turn away from the coast until Saturday night.
Before then, it's expected to bring flash flooding in parts of southern California and southwest Arizona Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. Flash flood watches were in effect Thursday night for southern California and parts of Arizona, covering 8 million people.
From severe drought to flood and gale watches
The Imperial Valley region, home to one of the nation's most productive farm belts, is bracing for serious damage. All of Imperial County is in severe drought, according to the US Drought Monitor, and has been since early spring -- but getting all the rain they've missed out on at once will not help with recovery.
"Imperial Valley farmers are in the middle of preparing their lands for the planting season, so a half an inch to one inch of rain will cause damage and delays to their schedule," said Robert Schettler, a spokesperson for the Imperial Irrigation District.
Here's just how much water the region could see: Imperial County Airport on average receives 2.38 inches of rain each year. The National Weather Service is forecasting 2 to 4 inches over the course of 36 hours on Friday and Saturday.
If Imperial receives more than 3 inches of rain, it will make this month the wettest September on record. The previous wettest September was in 1976.
In Palm Springs, which typically sees 4.61 inches of rain annually, 2 to 4 inches are forecast. Three inches at Palm Springs would put this month in the top three wettest Septembers for the city, where the average September rainfall is 0.24 inches.
And Yuma, Arizona, could see 1.5 inches -- which would make 2022 the wettest September since 2009. The city's average September rainfall is 0.68 inches.
But it's not just the water that officials are worried about.
"We have high wind warnings in effect, gale watches, flood watches and the soon-to-expire excessive heat warnings," Alex Tardy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service for San Diego, said in a virtual briefing Thursday evening. "The wind and the rain is moving on in and it will be significant Friday afternoon, through Friday night and early Saturday morning."
The weather service for the city said it was expecting "strong, damaging, east wind" for much of Friday over and west of the mountains. Those warm, dry winds from the east will likely increase the region's already high fire risk -- amid the ongoing heat wave that's baking much of California.
The strong winds are expected to reach states as far north as Oregon, prompting the National Weather Service Portland to tweet that "a red flag warning ... will be in effect this FRIDAY & SATURDAY, due to the expected strong east winds and low humidity. These conditions can cause rapid spread of fire."
Wind gusts in the region are expected to range from 25 to 50 mph, according to a tweet from the weather service in Portland.
Utility companies Pacific Power and Portland General Electric announced that they may proactively turn off power in some high-risk areas to reduce the risk of fire.
The outages would be implemented "in a limited, high-risk area to help reduce the risk of wildfire and to help protect people, property and the environment," Portland General Electric said in a release. The utility says the move could impact about 30,000 customer meters in the Portland and Salem, Oregon area.
Pacific Power issued a similar statement, and said approximately 12,000 customers in Linn, Douglas, Lincoln, Tillamook, Marion and Polk counties have been notified of the potential shutoffs.
Governor declares state of emergency over fires
With triple-digit temperatures likely continuing for much of California Friday, new all-time high records are expected to be broken.
Weather officials in Los Angeles reported a temperature of 97 degrees at the Los Angeles International Airport Thursday -- beating its previous record for the date of September 8, set in 1984. The city of Paso Robles also beat its record for that date, with 108 degrees. Its previous record of 106 was set last year.
The dangerously high heat and coming winds are no help to the firefighters battling flames that have already charred thousands of acres.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday declared a state of emergency for three counties over two blazes that were raging on.
In Riverside County, the Fairview Fire has already burned through more than 18,650 acres and was 5% contained as of Thursday night, according to Cal Fire. Two people have died, one person has been injured and at least 12 structures have been destroyed, officials have said.
The Mosquito Fire, burning in both El Dorado and Placer counties, has charred through more than 6,800 acres and was 0% contained Thursday night, according to Cal Fire. Evacuation orders have been issued for parts of Placer County, and some residents of El Dorado County have been warned to prepare for the possibility of evacuations, officials said.
The blaze, which is threatening over 1,000 structures, demonstrated "extreme fire behavior and growth" Thursday and is burning in "extremely difficult terrain," according to Cal Fire.
"Both fires are threatening multiple communities and critical infrastructure, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents," the governor's office said in a statement.

Winners, losers from Bills-Rams opening night showdown originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Utter domination.
That’s how one could describe the Buffalo Bills’ commanding 31-10 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL season opener on Thursday.
After the game was tied 10-10 at the end of the first half, the Bills cruised to a 21-0 point differential in the final two quarters in a statement win over the defending Super Bowl champions.
With plenty to discuss from the game, here are some winners and losers for both teams:
Winner: Von Miller
The Bills’ defense dictated this game. Though their offense coughed up the ball four times, the defense’s stout and reliable performance against Matthew Stafford and the Rams was commendable. Former Ram Von Miller was at the heart of it all. He had two of Buffalo’s seven sacks, including three tackles for a loss. That was definitely a quick revenge game for the 33-year-old star.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Loser: Matthew Stafford
After having a solid-but-could-be-better first half, Stafford fell apart in the second. He finished the game with 240 passing yards on 29 of 41 completed passes, which doesn’t seem bad, but he also threw three interceptions and could not move the ball deep down the field. Two of those picks came in the second half, halting the Rams’ momentum when trying to keep pace with Josh Allen and the flying Bills.
Winner: Josh Allen
Two interceptions smeared Allen’s stat line, but there was no doubt he was a force to reckoned with. Whether throwing the ball or carrying it, the Rams struggled to contain the dual-threat quarterback. He finished with 297 passing yards, completing 26 of 31 attempts with three touchdowns and two interceptions. His deep passes were accurate, and he added a touchdown on the ground after running for 56 yards on 10 carries. This is the level Allen needs to be at to guide Buffalo to a Super Bowl.
Loser: Cam Akers
Whether it was lingering injury issues or another reason, Akers was not up to par in Thursday’s loss. After having no carries in the first quarter, he had just three the rest of the way – none of them generated any yards. Darrell Henderson shouldered the running load but mustered just 47 yards on 13 carries, and one of them was an 18-yard rush. Not a good start if the Rams hope to be more dynamic this year.
Winner: Stefon Diggs against Jalen Ramsey
Combining two in one, Stefon Diggs goes down as a winner while his opponent, Jalen Ramsey, drops into the loser category. In a battle between No. 1 receiver and No. 1 cornerback, and arguably the best corner in the league in Ramsey, Diggs came out on top. He had eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown, which came on a 53-yard deep ball with Ramsey in coverage.
Losers: Rams’ offensive line, Allen Robinson
No Andrew Whitworth, a lot of problems. The Rams’ offensive line just couldn’t prevent the Bills’ attack from getting home, whether it was the run game or bringing down Stafford. As aforementioned, Stafford was sacked seven times for 49 yards lost.
Then comes Allen Robinson, who was not found much in his debut with the Rams. After coming over from the Chicago Bears on a three-year, $46.5 million deal in the offseason, Robinson mustered just one catch for 12 yards. Cooper Kupp, who had 13 catches for 128 yards, will need significantly more help than that as Robinson is replacing Odell Beckham Jr. as Stafford’s No. 2 option.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — In four decades of writing about the Las Vegas underworld and government corruption, investigative reporter Jeff German took on plenty of powerful and dangerous people. The hard-bitten newsman was once punched by an organized crime associate and received veiled threats from mobsters.
Nothing seemed to phase him as he doggedly went about his work.
So German (GEHR’-man) characteristically didn't express concern when Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles, a virtually unknown politician in charge of an obscure and small government office, took to Twitter last spring to angrily denounce the reporter.
German, who worked for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, had written about bullying and favoritism in the public administrator's office and an inappropriate relationship by Telles with a female subordinate.
Authorities say German's initial investigation and follow-up stories were the motivation for Telles to fatally stab German last week at the reporter's home. DNA at the scene linked Telles to the killing as did shoes and a distinctive straw hat found at his home that matched those worn by a suspect caught on video, investigators said Thursday.
Police arrested Telles on Wednesday after a brief standoff at his home. Telles was hospitalized for what Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo described as non-life-threatening, self-inflicted wounds.
Glenn Cook, executive editor of the Review-Journal, said there was talk within the newspaper about Telles being “unhinged” but he never made any physical threats against German and the reporter never said he was worried.
The thought this was the story that would put German’s safety at risk seemed implausible, he said, remembering how the reporter recounted once being punched by an organized crime associate.
“He cut his teeth covering the mob,” Cook said. “Jeff spent over 40 years covering the worst of the worst of Las Vegas. This was a guy who ran down mobsters, wise guys and killers.”
Killings of journalists in the U.S. in retaliation for their work are extremely rare. Up until German’s death, eight journalists have been killed in the U.S. since 1992, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. The deadliest attack came in 2018 when a shooting at the Capital Gazette in Maryland left five dead.
“Jeff’s death is a sobering reminder of the inherent risks of investigative journalism,” said Diana Fuentes, executive director of the organization Investigative Reporters & Editors. “Journalists do their jobs every day, digging deep to find information the public needs to know and has a right to see.”
German joined the Review-Journal in 2010 after more than two decades at the Las Vegas Sun, where he was a columnist and reporter who covered courts, politics, labor, government and crime. He was 69, but never talked with his boss about retirement, Cook said.
Former co-workers along with attorneys and government officials German counted on as sources called him a hard-nosed, tenacious journalist who could be gruff at times, especially if someone didn’t know him or was holding back information.
“He was not someone who was easily intimidated,” said Geoff Schumacher, who worked with German at the Sun until the late 1990s. “Getting to the truth, that was more important to him than his own well-being or being popular.”
The pair recently worked together on a podcast called “Mobbed Up.”
German talked about receiving veiled threats from mobsters in the early 1980s at a time when people were disappearing as law enforcement cracked down on organized crime. The warnings definitely got German's attention, but he never went to police, said Schumacher, who now works at at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas
Alan Feldman, a former executive with MGM Resorts International, said getting a call from German was like hearing from the CBS news show, “60 Minutes.” He didn’t talk tough or threaten anyone, Feldman said, but he never backed down.
And he always followed the story even if it didn’t go in the direction he expected, he said.
“The last thing I would say about Jeff is that anything scared him or that he was afraid,” Feldman said. “He was prepared to go after anyone who was doing something not in the public interest.”
Telles, a Democrat who apparently had never served in public office until he was elected in 2018, oversaw less than 10 people and was paid about $120,000 a year to run an office that deals with estates and the property of people after they die. Before that he was a lawyer practicing probate and estate law.
In the weeks before the June primary, German bylined reports about an office “mired in turmoil and internal dissension” between longtime employees and new hires under Telles’ leadership. Following the stories, county officials hired a consultant to help oversee the office.
Telles blamed “old-timers” for exaggerating the extent of his relationship with a female staffer and falsely claiming that he mistreated them. He posted complaints on Twitter about German, saying he was a bully who was “obsessed” with him.
Telles ended up finishing last in the three-way primary and was serving out the remainder of his term at the time of the killing.
The articles “ruined his political career, likely his marriage, and this was him lashing out at the cause,” Chief Deputy Clark County District Attorney Richard Scow said Thursday.
German’s family called him “a loving and loyal brother, uncle and friend who devoted his life to his work exposing wrongdoing in Las Vegas and beyond.”
“We’re shocked, saddened and angry about his death,” they said in a statement. “Jeff was committed to seeking justice for others and would appreciate the hard work by local police and journalists in pursuing his killer. We look forward to seeing justice done in this case.”

ATLANTA (AP) — When asked about his decision to rebuff Donald Trump and certify Joe Biden's narrow victory in his state, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says he has no option but to defend his actions.
“We are all held accountable by the voters,” the Republican said as he seeks a second term, noting that he hears from voters who backed Trump’s effort to overturn the election and those aghast at the former president’s actions.
“I give them the facts,” Raffensperger said, because “Americans and Georgians are smart people.”
Yet other Georgia Republicans take a different tack. Burt Jones, the lieutenant governor nominee who signed on as a fake elector for Trump, defends his role in the defeated president's scheme; the two men atop the Georgia ticket — Gov. Brian Kemp and Senate nominee Herschel Walker — don’t say much about the 2020 election or the man who lost it.
The varied approaches reflect perilous fault lines for Republicans as they weigh the former president’s influence against Democrats’ assertions that a Trump-dominated party threatens democracy. Trump's serial lies that the election was stolen cast a pall nationwide. But nowhere is the dynamic trickier than Georgia, epicenter of Trump's plan after he personally pressured Raffensperger to “find” more votes. Winning battleground-state elections amid the fallout means coaxing votes from Trump sympathizers and more moderate voters he's alienated.
The pressure is intensified by pending investigations: a Justice Department inquiry; a congressional examination of the U.S. Capitol attack of Jan. 6, 2021; and special grand jury proceedings in Georgia's Fulton County, the seat of state government. District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, is focusing on Trump’s pressure campaign against Raffensperger, Kemp and others to ignore voters’ will.
Biden, meanwhile, has stepped up his warnings about “MAGA Republicans” in recent speeches, and some Democrats in Georgia amplify that message.
“I got a question to the entire Republican ticket: How can you say you love this country, and you embrace and support a man that attacks its very foundations?” lieutenant governor candidate Charlie Bailey declared at Democrats' summer convention.
Jones, Bailey's opponent, denies that faux electors were part of any such attack. “That was never anything that we said,” Jones said of the slate that convened at the Georgia Capitol as if it were a legitimate share of the Electoral College.
Biden won Georgia by less than 12,000 votes out of 5 million cast. The result was affirmed by multiple counts, one partially done by hand. Jones and others have said they were merely preserving Trump's legal options, a claim undermined by evidence that later emerged of a coordinated effort to impanel unauthorized electors in multiple states. Elections officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no evidence Biden's win was tainted. Many courts, including judges Trump appointed, rejected his claims of fraud.
In Georgia's marquee races, Kemp and Walker avoid the topic.
Kemp, locked in a tight race with Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, acknowledges Trump only when he must. It’s the approach he’s taken since he ratified 16 Democratic electors after Raffensperger certified Biden's win, a sharp contrast from 2018, when he accepted Trump's endorsement during a hotly contested GOP primary for governor. Now, as when Trump raged at him publicly in 2020, Kemp explains that he was “following the Constitution” when he blessed Biden's electors.
That sidestepping strategy was girded first when Kemp crushed Trump’s hand-picked candidate, former Sen. David Perdue, in a May primary. The governor got another boost in August when a state judge ruled Kemp won’t have to testify about 2020 before the Georgia special grand jury until after the fall election.
The spring primary results show the risks. Kemp and Raffensperger, who also had a contested primary, benefited from tens of thousands of Democratic-leaning voters crossing over to cast anti-Trump GOP primary ballots. But Perdue still garnered 236,000 votes — a sign that a pro-Trump GOP faction hasn’t forgotten about 2020. Kemp's margin over Abrams in 2018 was about 55,000 votes.
Kemp aides acknowledge those splits, saying any credit Kemp has gotten from independents or swing-voting Democrats is already settled and there’s nothing to gain by talking about Trump. That's why Kemp's legal team wanted to delay the public spectacle of him entering and exiting the grand jury.
Walker, a first-time candidate trying to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock, won’t say whether Biden won legitimately. “I don’t know, did he? ... We need to ask my opponent did (Biden) win fair and square,” Walker told reporters.
Warnock, indeed, does not question the results.
Despite a close relationship with Trump — the former president urged Walker to run and then endorsed him — Walker has insisted on camera that he’s never heard Trump claim the election was stolen. Trump has said so repeatedly, including his most recent appearances ahead of the midterms. “The 2020 election was rigged and stolen ... by people who got into office through cheating and through fraud,” Trump falsely declared last week in Pennsylvania.
Walker, though, doesn’t raise the subject on his own. His mentions of Biden and Democrats revolve around inflation or cultural issues, and he largely eschews Trump.
“Never thought about it,” Walker said, when asked whether he’d invite Trump to campaign in Georgia.
Abrams and Warnock perhaps help their opponents by not stoking 2020 embers themselves.
Warnock has concentrated on defending himself against Walker’s argument that he’s a Biden lackey; the Democrat tailors counterattacks around Walker’s exaggerations of his business and academic record, rather than associating him with Trump.
The two gubernatorial camps, meanwhile, name the economy as the most important issue, while agreeing that abortion could give Democrats an opening. Abrams’ paid advertising, especially, hits Kemp for signing a law banning abortions at six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they’re pregnant.
Lauren Groh-Wargo, Abrams’ campaign manager, said Abrams “will remind people that (Kemp) pals around with election deniers” but emphasized that her first task is to sell voters on what she’d do as chief executive.
Kemp’s advisers say they might be more worried about Trump fallout if Bailey had more money in the lieutenant governor’s race to use paid advertising to magnify his all-out assault on Jones and if Raffensperger's opponent, Bee Nguyen, had a larger advertising megaphone.
Despite Jones’ protestations, he was a top advocate for a post-election special session in Georgia, with the intent of shifting electoral votes to Trump. Jones, whom Trump called “a man of courage” in a December 2020 rally in Valdosta, signed papers supporting a court case by Texas to overturn Georgia’s results. On Jan. 5, 2021, Jones personally urged Vice President Mike Pence to delay Biden’s constitutional designation as president-elect.
“He got on his daddy’s plane and flew to Washington D.C., the day before the insurrection, met with the vice president, with a letter in his pocket, to convince the vice president not to count the electoral vote,” Bailey said in an interview, adding that Jones' demands aligned him with “the violent mob” that stormed the Capitol.
Jones also visited Arizona to watch a Republican-backed recount that only reaffirmed Biden's win.
“If you think that’s okay, then I’m not your candidate,” Bailey said, “because that’s the actions of an authoritarian.”
Raffensperger, for his part, said his interactions with Jones are “great.” But it’s notable the secretary of state and governor, at least for now, are running campaigns distinct from other Republican nominees, including Jones.
“That’s a process of what happens all the time, and I don’t think the other side is 100% unified either,” Raffensperger said. “What I’m really more focused on is what I can control, and that’s myself.”

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Sean McVay knows that one of the prices of longevity in the NFL is that eventually he's going to experience a lot of good and bad things as a coach.
He hasn't had too many bad experiences, but Thursday night was definitely one of them.
The Rams' 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills was the first time in six openers that McVay has been on the losing end. Reporters could hear McVay yelling at his team, including a couple expletives, after the game because only a retractable door separates the locker room from the post-game interview room.
There was a reason why McVay was incensed. It's only the fifth time the Rams have lost by at least 21 points since he became coach in 2017. It was also the second-worst loss by a defending Super Bowl champion, with Baltimore's 49-27 loss at Denver in 2013 the standard.
The defeat also made McVay utter a word he has rarely used — humbling.
“It was very humbling night but one where you look yourself in the mirror and say you have to be better," McVay said. “I feel a sense of letting a lot of people down that I care about. We're going to fix this.”
The Rams had problems on both sides of the ball. Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times, marking only the third time in his 14-year career he has gone down that many times.
With the retirement of Andrew Whitworth and departure of Austin Corbett, Los Angeles has two new starters in left tackle Joe Noteboom and right guard Coleman Shelton. Buffalo didn't blitz once and one of their seven sacks came with only three pass rushers.
“Honestly, you just be a man about it. You watch it, understand what went wrong and do whatever you need to do to address the issues,” right tackle Rob Havenstein said.
Stafford, who completed 29 of 42 passes for 240 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions, said he has to do a better job throwing it sooner but also pointed out that he saw the Bills play a scheme he doesn't see too often.
“Not a lot of people play nickel safety same side cover three. It wasn’t earth shattering stuff but we haven't gotten that in a long time,” Stafford said. “I don't feel like that was a reason that we’re holding on to it or anything.”
Defensively, the Rams were lousy on third-down conversions and allowed Bills receivers to gain 114 yards after the catch. Josh Allen had completed only one pass thrown over 15 yards in the first three quarters before connecting with Gabriel Davis for 47 yards on the first play of the fourth quarter and Stefon Diggs for a 53-yard touchdown play that made it a three-touchdown lead midway through the fourth.
“I think this was humbling. Obviously, everybody’s frustrated because it's not how you want to come out,” linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “We just have to be locked in. Stuff like this happens the first couple games. It's not just one person or anything like that. We all have to play better defense.”
Defending Super Bowl champions dropped to 45-11-1 in openers. McVay wasn't ready to declare his team was experiencing a championship hangover. Los Angeles hosts Atlanta on Sept. 18 before road games against Arizona and San Francisco.
“It's too early to say that. We are not going to use that as an excuse,” he said. “I don’t want to take credit away from what they did.”

Biden is 13th and final US president to meet Queen Elizabeth
WASHINGTON (AP) — With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Joe Biden gained the distinction of being the 13th and final U.S. president to meet the woman whose reign spanned seven decades.
The queen, who died Thursday at her summer residence in Scotland at age 96, had met every American president since Dwight Eisenhower, with the exception of Lyndon Johnson, who did not visit Britain during his presidency.
She was still a princess when she met President Harry Truman in Washington.
Every living former U.S. president — Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump — joined Biden in mourning her passing and sending condolences to her family.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden said the queen’s “legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world.”
Obama and his wife, Michelle, recalled the queen welcoming them, America’s first Black president and first lady, to the world stage “with open arms and extraordinary generosity.”
Biden first met the queen in 1982 as a U.S. senator traveling in the U.K. with a delegation from Congress. He last saw her in 2021, several months after he became president, when he attended a world leaders’ summit in southwestern England.
She mingled with Group of Seven leaders at a reception that she and other royals hosted at an indoor rainforest. After the summit, the Bidens traveled to Windsor Castle, near London, at the queen’s invitation for a private audience.
The queen was a 25-year-old princess when she came to Washington in 1951 and stayed with Truman and his family. She met Herbert Hoover in 1957, more than 20 years after he left office.
Here are highlights of some of her meetings, on both sides of the pond, with past American presidents:
JOE BIDEN
Biden and his trademark aviator sunglasses met the queen at Windsor Castle on a sweltering afternoon in June 2021.
Biden emerged from a black car wearing his shades, stepped onto a covered dais where the queen waited, and, with his wife, posed with the queen as the two countries’ national anthems played.
After walking around the courtyard to inspect the honor guard, he entered the castle for tea.
Back at the airport, Biden told journalists that the queen was “very gracious” and had asked him about the leaders of China and Russia.
While it’s generally frowned upon to discuss one’s private talks with the queen, Biden continued.
“I don’t think she’ll be insulted, but she reminded me of my mother,” he said.
Biden said he also had invited the queen to visit the White House.
DONALD TRUMP
Trump and the queen met in July 2018 at the castle during a visit to Britain that drew large anti-Trump protests to downtown London, including the hoisting of a balloon depicting Trump in a diaper.
He was criticized for breaking protocol by briefly walking in front of the queen — instead of alongside her — and turning his back on her as they reviewed an honor guard.
Trump later said he thought of his late mother, Mary Anne, who was born in Scotland and who loved the royal family, when he and his wife, Melania, sipped tea with the queen.
Trump’s subsequent comment that the queen told him that Brexit — Britain’s break from the European Union — was complex also created a stir. Most heads of state don’t reveal their private conversations with the queen. She also doesn’t discuss political matters.
The Trumps and the royals met again during the D-Day commemoration in 2019.
BARACK OBAMA
Obama and the queen had their first of three meetings in April 2009 at a reception for world leaders attending the Group of 20 nations summit in London.
It was there that first lady Michelle Obama broke protocol by briefly putting an arm around the queen’s back as they commiserated about their achy feet. It’s generally a no-no to touch the queen, but she returned Mrs. Obama’s gesture.
The queen invited the Obamas for a state visit in 2011 that included a two-night stay at Buckingham Palace and a lavish banquet in the president’s honor.
As Obama delivered a toast to the queen, he didn’t miss a beat when the band assumed that a pause in his remarks meant he had concluded and launched into a rendition of “God Save the Queen.” Obama kept talking over the music until the band quieted down.
The couples saw each other again in 2016 when Obama visited the queen at Windsor Castle a day after her 90th birthday during another swing through Europe.
GEORGE W. BUSH
Bush detested stuffy, formal affairs, but he donned a white tie-and-tails tuxedo after the queen pulled out all the stops for a state dinner in his honor at Buckingham Palace in November 2003.
A few years later, Bush’s slip of the tongue generated ripples of laughter at a White House welcoming ceremony for the queen, who was touring the U.S. in May 2007.
Stumbling on a line in his speech, Bush said the queen had dined with several of his predecessors and had helped the United States “celebrate its bicentennial in 17- ...” Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976, and paused to see if she had taken offense.
“She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child,” Bush said with a smile.
The queen later turned the tables on Bush with her toast at a dinner she hosted for the president at the British Embassy in Washington.
“I wondered whether I should start this toast by saying, ‘When I was here in 1776,’” she said to laughter.
BILL CLINTON
The queen hosted Clinton and his wife, Hillary, aboard her royal yacht, Britannia, in June 1994.
The ship, 412 feet (125 meters) long and 55 feet (17 meters) wide, was docked at the Portsmouth Naval Base and was home base for the Clintons as they attended the queen’s dinner at Guildhall for leaders of Allied nations whose troops participated in the D-Day invasion of Normandy 50 years earlier.
The Clintons spent one night aboard the boat. The next day, the Britannia ferried Clinton to the USS George Washington aircraft carrier as it prepared to sail across the English Channel, from Portsmouth to Normandy, for D-Day anniversary celebrations.
GEORGE H.W. BUSH
One of the more memorable images from the monarch’s third state visit to the U.S. came in 1991 when only her white-striped purple hat could be seen above the microphones when she spoke at an arrival ceremony on the White House grounds.
Someone forgot to adjust the lectern after the much taller Bush spoke.
The queen stayed strong and carried on, later making light of the incident as she opened an address to a joint meeting of Congress.
“I do hope you can see me today from where you are,” she deadpanned. Bush later apologized and said he felt badly for not pulling out a step for her to stand on.
RONALD REAGAN
Reagan and the queen bonded over a mutual love of horseback riding.
They rode side by side on an 8-mile (13-kilometers), hourlong tour on the grounds of Windsor Castle when Reagan visited her there in June 1982. Reagan was the first president to sleep over at the British royal family’s historic home, an 11th-century estate overlook the River Thames.
While in the U.S. in 1983, the monarch and Philip stayed with the president and first lady Nancy Reagan at their ranch in Santa Barbara, California. She wanted to ride horses again, but a rainstorm wouldn’t allow it. The Reagans served a lunch of regional staples, including enchiladas, chiles rellenos, refried beans, tacos, rice and guacamole.
They also hosted a state dinner for the queen in San Francisco at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum.
JIMMY CARTER
The queen hosted Carter in May 1977 on his first overseas trip at a dinner for NATO leaders at Buckingham Palace. At one point, as Carter stood with the queen and other guests, he noticed the arrival of the queen mother.
Ever the Southern gentleman, Carter broke away, took her by the hand and escorted her to the assembled line of guests.
The no-frills Georgia peanut farmer-turned-president ate chicken mousse off a gold plate and seemed excited by his dinner seating between the queen and her sister, Princess Margaret, and across from her son, Prince Charles, Prince Philip and the queen mother.
GERALD FORD
Ford threw a gala state dinner for the Brits in 1976 to mark the bicentennial of the American Revolution. The queen was resplendent in a diamond-studded tiara that sparkled for a crowd that included diplomats, star athletes and celebrities such as Cary Grant and Julie Harris.
The mood evaporated when Ford led the queen to the dance floor while the song “The Lady Is a Tramp” echoed throughout the State Dining Room.

Japanese bond yields rise even as BOJ moves to increase buying
Sept 7 (Reuters) - Japanese government bond yields rose across the board on Wednesday, following a rise in U.S. Treasury yields, and even as the Bank of Japan announced plans to increase its buying of bonds.
The benchmark 10-year JGB yield rose 1 basis point to 0.245% for the first time since July 20, brushing up against the BOJ's implicit policy cap of 0.25%.
This morning, the central bank announced it would offer to buy 550 billion yen of five-10 year bonds, an increase on the 500 billion spent in the prior round.
"The Bank of Japan adopted a proactive stance to protect the 0.25% upper limit," said Mizuho Securities market analyst Gen Taniguchi. "The market accepted this, and the 10-year yield has stopped rising for now."
The 10-year yield had risen steadily through the back half of August after reaching a five-month low of 0.16%, but Wednesday was the first time it tested the BOJ's policy cap in seven weeks.
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose as high as 3.365%, which helped send the Japanese yen to new 24-year lows of more than 144 to the dollar.
The five-year JGB yield rose 1.5 basis points to 0.035% after opening at 0.04%, its highest level since June 29.
The two-year yield rose 0.5 basis point to -0.080%, returning to a five-week high reached on Thursday.
Longer-term JGB yields also gained. The 20-year yield rose 4.5 basis points to 0.950%, the 30-year yield rose 5 basis points to 1.300%, and the 40-year yield rose 7.5 basis points to 1.480%.
Benchmark 10-year JGB futures fell 0.23 point to 149.15. (Reporting by Sam Byford and Tokyo markets team)

UN chief appeals to world to help badly flood-hit Pakistan
By MUNIR AHMED
Associated Press
ISLAMABAD (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appealed to the world to help Pakistan after arriving in the country Friday to see climate-induced devastation from months of deadly record floods that have left half a million people living in tents under the open sky.
His trip comes less than two weeks after Guterres appealed for $160 million in emergency funding to help those affected by the monsoon rains and floods that have caused at least $10 billion in damages and 1,391 deaths. International aid is arriving, including the first planeload of what the U.S. has pledged will be $30 million in assistance.
“I have arrived in Pakistan to express my deep solidarity with the Pakistani people after the devastating floods here. I appeal for massive support from the international community as Pakistan responds to this climate catastrophe,” he said on Twitter before dawn.
Last week, the U.N. chief issued a stern warning about the effects of climate change.
“Let’s stop sleepwalking toward the destruction of our planet by climate change,” he said in a video message to a ceremony in Islamabad at the time. “Today, it’s Pakistan. Tomorrow, it could be your country.”
Pakistan’s Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb in a statement thanked the U.N. chief for visiting Pakistan at a time when, she said, one-third of Pakistan is underwater. She said she wants the visit to help elevate the crisis for flood victims to the global level.
“The visit will also help in realizing the consequences of the deadly effects of climate change,” said, urging the international community to step up efforts to help poor countries affected by floods and natural disasters.
Aurangzeb said Guterres will receive a briefing from Pakistani officials about damages caused by floods before addressing a news conference along with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif in Islamabad on Friday.
So far, U.N. agencies and several countries have sent nearly 60 planeloads of aid, and authorities say the United Arab Emirates is one of the most generous contributors, as it has sent so far 26 flights carrying aid or flood victims. The United States said it will provide $30 million in assistance to help flood victims.
The floods have touched all of Pakistan and affected more than 3.3 million people. Heritages sites have also been damaged, including Mohenjo Daro, considered one of the best-preserved ancient urban settlements in South Asia.
The ruins near the Indus River were discovered in 1922 and to this day, mystery surrounds the disappearance of the civilization that dates back 4,500 years, coinciding with those of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Mohenjo Daro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the U.N. heritage agency on Thursday announced an emergency amount of $350,000 to help recover flood-damaged cultural heritage sites.
Guterres was received on his arrival by Deputy Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and will meet with Prime Minister Sharif and other government and military officials on his visit.
Before the U.N. chief’s arrival, Sharif told a visiting American diplomat that the world should step up its fight against climate change to avoid more deadly flooding. Derek Chollet, a senior State Department official, was visiting Islamabad to assess damages and arrange for aid.
According to the government’s statement, Chollet affirmed that the U.S. would stand by Pakistan in the wake of the floods and extend help to help people rebuild.
On Friday, the first American planeload carrying aid will arrive in Pakistan, according to Pakistan officials, who say Washington is setting up a humanitarian aid air bridge to deliver much-needed for flood victims,
Since June, heavy rains and floods have added new burdens to cash-strapped Pakistan and highlighted the disproportionate effect of climate change on impoverished populations. Experts say Pakistan is responsible for only 0.4% of the world’s historic emissions blamed for climate change. The U.S. is responsible for 21.5%, China for 16.5% and the EU 15%.
The floods in Pakistan have also injured 12,722 people, destroyed thousands of kilometers of roads, toppled bridges and damaged schools and hospitals, according to the National Disaster Management Agency.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Firefighters on Friday struggled to control raging California wildfires that have grown explosively during extreme heat and forced thousands of residents to flee mountain communities at both ends of the state.
The Fairview Fire in Southern California covered about 37 square miles (95 square kilometers) of Riverside County and was just 5% contained. Two people died while fleeing flames on Monday and at least 11 structures have been destroyed. More than 18,000 homes were threatened by the fire fed by shifting winds, officials said Thursday evening.
To the north in the Sierra Nevada, the Mosquito Fire burned out of control, scorching at least 20 square miles (52 square kilometers) and threatening 3,600 homes in Placer and El Dorado counties, while blanketing the region in smoke.
Flames jumped the American River, burning structures in the mountain hamlet of Volcanoville and moving closer to the towns of Foresthill, home to about 1,500 people, and Georgetown, population 3,000. Fire spokesperson Chris Vestal called the fast-moving blaze an “extreme and critical fire threat.”
Stefani Lake evacuated her hilltop home near Georgetown Thursday after sheriff's deputies knocked on doors telling people to get out. “The dogs are in the back of the car, I’ve got a room for the night, so I’m ready to leave,” Lake told the Sacramento Bee.
About 100 miles (160 kilometer) to the east, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection warned the Reno area that air quality could be very unhealthy to hazardous due to smoke from the Mosquito Fire.
The fire’s cause remained under investigation. Pacific Gas & Electric notified the state Public Utilities Commission that the U.S. Forest Service placed caution tape around the base of a PG&E transmission pole but that no damage could be seen. PG&E said unspecified “electrical activity” occurred close in time to the report of the fire on Sept. 6.
Another dangerous blaze burned in stands of timber near the Big Bear Lake resort region in the San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles. It was just 2% contained after scorching nearly 2 square miles (5 square kilometers).
California faced other weather threats as an oppressive heat wave strained the state power grid and moisture from a tropical storm threatened to unleash thunderstorms and floods.
A surge of clouds and showers associated with Tropical Storm Kay off Mexico’s Baja California peninsula knocked the edge off temperatures in Southern California at times but also were a potential problem for solar generation. The storm was downgraded from a hurricane Thursday evening.
Despite the initial impacts of Kay, forecasters warned that the heat was not yet done.
“The seemingly endless heat wave that has been plaguing California will finally becoming to an end across at least Southern California, but not before two more very hot days and very warm nights,” the Los Angeles-area weather office wrote.
Operators of California’s power grid issued another “Flex Alert” call for voluntary cuts in use of electricity and expanded the period by two hours, 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. The alert expired Thursday night without the need for targeted blackouts to ease the stress on the power grid.
Wildfire smoke and the cloud cover created uncertainty about solar power production in afternoon hours when temperatures rise toward their peaks, said Elliot Mainzer, president and CEO of the California Independent System Operator.
Cal-ISO has issued Flex Alerts since last week and has avoided ordering rolling power outages, although a miscommunication with one Northern California provider led to blackouts.
With record demand on power supplies across the West, California snapped its record energy use around 5 p.m. Tuesday with 52,061 megawatts, far above the previous high of 50,270 megawatts set July 24, 2006.
An emergency appeal for conservation that was sent to Californians’ cellphones was credited with an immediate drop in demand on the electrical grid Tuesday evening.
Storm and wind conditions associated with the approaching hurricane were likely to create a new set of risks for power shortages in Southern California, he noted.
Kay was expected to reach northern Baja California on Friday, the National Weather Service said. Despite losing hurricane strength, Kay was expected to send a surge of moisture into Southern California. Strong winds, heavy rain and flash floods were likely Friday evening through Saturday. Tropical storm warnings were posted for mariners.
Up the West Coast, forecasters predicted strong, gusting winds and low humidity across western Oregon beginning Friday and authorities warned of heightened wildfire danger after an unseasonably hot and dry late summer.
An Oregon utility said it will cut power to about 12,500 customers to the south and west of Portland in anticipation of strong, dry winds that pose a severe wildfire danger in the region. Another utility says about 30,000 additional customers could see their power cut as well in a bid to prevent fire from sagging or broken power lines.

On Sunday, Purdue held its first practice since losing to Penn State 35-31 in the season opener. Though the Boilermakers worked out with no pads on, the defensive plan for the day emphasized tackling, as coach Jeff Brohm promised it would after the defeat at the hands of the Nittany Lions.
“That really should be a personal thing for defensive football players,” co-defensive coordinator Ron English said. “(You should be) really upset with yourself when you miss tackles, particularly if you don’t get your body on their body or you do it without maximum effort. Of course we did a lot of tackling this week.”
Purdue came away from the narrow loss to the Nittany Lions believing Penn State did not win the game but rather the Boilermakers lost it with a lack of attention to the smallest details of their performance. Those showed up in a series of missed tackles in high-profile moments – Penn State tight end Brenton Strange wrenching away from safety Cam Allen on the way to a 67-yard touchdown at the end of the first half was the most memorable – and a wide array of penalties that put Purdue behind the sticks on offense and kept the Boilers from getting off the field on defense.
Heading into their matchup against Indiana State (1-0) on Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium, the Boilermakers (0-1) have emphasized an attention to those details as they take a second shot at their first win of the season.
“There’s a lot of things we need to work on that you learn from your first game, especially when it doesn’t go the way you want and you lose the football game,” Brohm said Monday. “That’s what the majority of our time has been spent on the last three days is making sure that we get a lot of mistakes corrected, get better at the small things and really work on our fundamentals and techniques of everything.”
Lack of tackling was one of Brohm’s takeaways immediately after the opener. In addition to Strange’s touchdown, the Boilermakers also let Penn State wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith turn what should have been about a 7-yard gain into a 29-yard go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Later, after Purdue had retaken the lead, Nittany Lions wideout Mitchell Tinsley ran around Purdue cornerback Reese Taylor in the flat for a big gain down the sideline, jump-starting Penn State’s game-winning 80-yard drive in the game’s final two minutes.
“I don’t know if we relaxed or I don’t know what happened,” English said of that final possession. “We’ve gotta do better. That’s the second time in my career calling defenses I’ve lost on a two-minute drill. … To me, a two-minute is about poise and toughness and belief. Two-minute is a character drill to me and that makes it tough for me, to be honest.”
Penalties were as big an issue. Purdue ranked in the top 25 nationally in fewest penalty yards per game last season (42.8) but committed nine for 92 yards against Penn State. Four of those flags came as the result of pass interference or defensive holding, handing the Nittany Lions four first downs.
“It’s truly not what they did, but what we did,” English said of his defense’s Week 1 performance. “A couple of times we were off the field on third downs and we got penalties and a couple of them didn’t have any effect on the play.”
English was not a fan of a couple of the pass interference penalties for which the Boilermakers were called – he called one of the flags “ridiculous” – and emphasized he’d rather have his players play aggressively and get close enough to the receiver to make a penalty possible than have them fall so far behind a flag is out of the question.
Boilermakers safety Chris Jefferson echoed his coach’s belief that the defensive backfield didn’t do enough to draw a few of the flags – “I don’t know if I’m not supposed to say that,” he said – but admitted Purdue made some mistakes in coverage.
“If you look at the film, we were in great position every time,” said Jefferson, who was flagged for holding in the second quarter. “We were in perfect position on all the penalty calls and we were just a little bit too touchy.
“We’ve got a great secondary. That wasn’t our best game, you’re going to see better from us. … We just need to be a little more detailed.”

Members of the 1972 U.S. Olympic basketball team have talked about finally retrieving those silver medals they vowed to never accept and left behind in Germany.
No, they still don't want them for themselves.
They believe the medals belong in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but the latest attempt to get them from the International Olympic Committee has been thwarted.
To get the medals a home in the Hall of Fame — which is holding its induction ceremony for the Class of 2022 this weekend — the IOC told the players they first have to accept them.
“If we have to accept them, then that’s not going to be an option,” said Tom Burleson, a center from North Carolina State who played on the team.
It's the same non-starter it was 50 years ago Friday.
The Americans’ first loss in Olympic competition remains one of the most complicated and controversial finishes ever — there's little question it's part of the sport’s history, which the Hall preserves.
It's not that the IOC disagrees with the Hall of Fame option. The Olympic governing body would let members of the team do what they want with the medals — once they've followed the organization's procedure for obtaining them.
Tom McMillen, a forward from Maryland and a member of the 1972 team, said the IOC saying players having to accept the medals is “sort of ridiculous" and came up with a possible solution to the impasse: Have a third-party accept the medals so they could be placed in the Hall of Fame.
“What we talked about was, given what the IOC’s position is, we could say, ‘OK, give us the medals,’ and then we reject them by giving them to the Naismith museum," said McMillen, now president and CEO of the LEAD1 Association, representing college Football Bowl Subdivision athletic directors and programs.
“In other words, we say, ‘We don’t want these, we don’t think we deserve them, we think we deserve the gold,’” McMillen said. “But I think everybody’s got different views. I mean, it’s really hard, so it’s probably going to stay the way it is.”
At least for the foreseeable future.
The sting of the loss still lingers.
The United States brought a 63-game Olympic winning streak into the final against the Soviet Union on Sept. 9, 1972, in Munich. It appeared the Americans had extended it to 64 when the horn sounded to end the game with them leading 50-49.
The game was restarted — twice — during what even the players struggle to define as errors by the officials or an outright attempt to cheat them.
Referees initially put time back on the clock after the Soviets argued they had called a timeout and the horn had sounded. The clock was still being reset when the ball was put into play and the Soviets didn’t score, so R. William Jones, the secretary general of FIBA, again ordered the clock reset to 3 seconds.
Given another chance, the Soviets fired a long pass to Aleksander Belov, who scored to give the Soviets a 51-50 victory.
Ed Ratleff, a forward who played at Long Beach State, believes it’s possible some players may have softened on their stance after 50 years, but said neither he nor anyone he still talks to has. One of them, Kenny Davis, has in his will that his family is to never accept silver.
“I tell you what, I am the same way I was 50 years ago,” Ratleff said. “My mother always taught me you won’t take anything that doesn’t belong to you, and I didn’t think the silver medal belonged to us.
“I’m not taking it and I’m sure 100% we got cheated out of it and I think they knew that, too.”
McMillen hopes the entire team will one day be enshrined in the Hall of Fame and with this being the 50th anniversary of the Munich Games, this weekend would have been a fitting time. It’s an honor Olympic champions such as the 1960 and 1992 U.S. teams have earned.
Short of that, he hoped at least the medals could have a home in the Springfield, Massachusetts, museum. McMillen, a former Congressman from Maryland, asked IOC member Dick Pound about putting the medals in the Hall of Fame.
The IOC let McMillen know earlier this year — and reiterated its position again this week — that nobody could accept the medals except the players themselves.
“The IOC expressed its appreciation for his efforts but felt that appointing an attorney to accept the medals would not be appropriate,” an IOC spokesman said Thursday in an email to The Associated Press.
Previous conversations about awarding dual gold medals also had been denied and McMillen was disappointed to learn his latest attempt wouldn’t work, either.
Given that, McMillen said the medals might still be in a vault in Switzerland in 1,000 years, but in fact they’re not even all together now. The IOC said it received seven medals in 1992 from the local organizing committee, which are now kept in its Olympic Museum collections. The others remained with the organizing committee.
Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Hall of Fame board, said the Hall is aware of the players’ wishes and would like to help them. However, it appears those steps are out of the Hall’s hands.
“There’s a scar on the hearts of each one who has participated,” said Colangelo, also the former chairman of USA Basketball, adding that any decisions will have to wait.
“It still needs to be addressed as it pertains to the Hall of Fame.”
There have been attempts to heal the scar, or at least ease the pain of the loss for players.
During the 2008 Olympics, the next generation of stars – NBA standouts make up Olympic teams now, unlike the college players in 1972 – went over to the broadcast table to acknowledge Doug Collins, whose free throws with 3 seconds left had given the Americans the lead in 1972, and they believed, the victory, after he worked the gold-medal game at the Beijing Games.
Four years later, members of the team held a 40th reunion, where they remained united that there would never be accepting of silver.
Two of them, James Forbes and Dwight Jones, have since died. McMillen hoped there was a way to get the rest together sometime this year, though it seems there would be no change given what they’ve heard from the IOC.
“We’ll just let them keep it,” Burleson said. “I hate it, it would be nice to think they were on U.S. soil somewhere. But then again, if they want them, they can keep them.”

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Yoán Moncada went 5 for 6 with two home runs and five RBIs, Dylan Cease stuck out nine in six scoreless innings and the Chicago White Sox hammered the Oakland Athletics 14-2 on Thursday night.
Chicago had 21 hits, including 10 extra-base hits, in its highest-scoring game of the season. It has won seven of its last nine games.
“It feels good,” Moncada said through a translator. “It’s fun when you see everybody contributing and adding to the team.”
Romy González went 4 for 5 with a homer and three RBIs. Elvis Andrus, released by the A’s in August, and Eloy Jiménez also homered.
“It was nice to see those bats,” White Sox acting manager Miguel Cairo said. “Moncada, Gonzo, everyone had good at-bats.”
Cease (14-6) reached 206 strikeouts for the year, becoming the seventh White Sox pitcher with multiple 200-strikeout seasons. The right-hander allowed three hits and two walks after coming within one out of a no-hitter in his last start against the Minnesota Twins.
“It’s definitely a big accomplishment, something I’m proud of," Cease said about the milestone. “We know every game, every inning, every pitch matters right now. So to go out there and make a statement, both on the pitching and the offensive side, is important.”
Oakland has lost three in a row and seven of its last eight.
Andrus and Moncada started the game with back-to-back home runs off of JP Sears. Andrus singled home another run in the second, followed by Moncada’s second homer of the night, a three-run shot.
Sears (5-2) surrendered a career-high six runs on eight hits and a walk in two innings, leading A's manager Mark Kotsay to believe he might have been tipping his pitches.
“We definitely saw something that could have led to the results,” Kotsay said. “It definitely makes it easier at this level when you know a changeup is coming or off-speed is coming and you know a fastball is coming. But that’s a good-hitting team and they’re playing really well.”
Jiménez tacked on a two-run homer in the fourth. Adam Engel singled in another run in the fifth, followed by an RBI double by Moncada two batters later.
The White Sox added four runs in the sixth on an RBI single by Andrew Vaughn and a three-run homer by González to make it 14-0.
The A’s finally scored in the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly by Shea Langeliers. Sheldon Neuse followed with an RBI groundout.
CAIRO WINS AGAIN
Cairo improved to 7-3 as acting manager as Tony La Russa remains away from the team with an unspecified health issue.
“There’s nothing official, nothing that we know,” Cairo said of La Russa’s return. “We’re waiting to see. We don’t know yet. ... I talk to him every day. He’s doing fine.”
Cairo has served as La Russa’s bench coach for the last two years. He filled in as manager for last season’s Field of Dreams game when La Russa attended his brother-in-law’s funeral.
“I love the challenge (of managing),” Cairo said. “I love the adrenaline. I love the butterflies that you get during the game. If he comes back, he’s the manager. I’m the bench coach.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
White Sox: OF Luis Robert missed his second straight game after getting hit on his left fingers during a swing on Tuesday in Seattle. He is also dealing with a sore left wrist. “It’s day-to-day,” Cairo said. “We’re going to see how he feels tomorrow and we’ll just go from there.”
Athletics: 2B/OF Tony Kemp returned to the lineup after missing Wednesday’s game with groin tightness. He led off and went 1 for 2 with a single and a walk ... OF Skye Bolt (right knee patella subluxation) went 1 for 4 with an RBI single in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Las Vegas. ... RHP Zach Jackson continues to recover from a strained right shoulder and could still return before the season ends. “We’re still optimistic that we can get him back,” Kotsay said. “I think he just needs to, in the next probably seven days, make some decent improvement.”
UP NEXT
White Sox RHP Lucas Giolito (10-9, 5.21 ERA) makes his third career start against Oakland on Friday. Giolito is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in his two previous outings. Athletics RHP James Kaprielian (3-9, 4.79) looks to snap a four-game losing streak. He beat the White Sox on July 29, allowing one run in six innings.

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Thursday President Joe Biden has approved additional military aid to Ukraine worth up to $675 million, an announcement that came as he gathered allies to renew their commitment to military support “for the long haul.”
Austin said at the start of a meeting with senior officials from allied countries at the United States’ Ramstein Air Base in Germany that Biden approved the latest tranche of U.S. assistance on Wednesday.
He said that the package includes howitzers, artillery munitions, Humvees, armored ambulances, anti-tank systems and more.
Austin said that “the war is at another key moment,” with Ukrainian forces beginning their counteroffensive in the south of the country. He said that “now we’re seeing the demonstrable success of our common efforts on the battlefield.”
“The face of the war is changing and so is the mission of this contact group,” Austin told the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which was attended by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and Ukraine’s defense minister as well as officials from allied countries.
“We will work together to train Ukraine’s forces for the long haul. We will work together to help integrate Ukraine’s capabilities and bolster its joint operations for the long haul,” he said. “We will work together to upgrade our defense industrial basis to meet Ukraine’s requirements for the long haul, and we will work together for production and innovation to meet Ukraine’s self-defense needs for the long haul.”
“We must evolve as the fight evolves,” Austin said.

Biden to tell Ohioans his policies will revive manufacturing
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden wants to put the spotlight on a rare bipartisan down payment on U.S. manufacturing when he visits Ohio on Friday for the groundbreaking of a new Intel computer chip facility.
Biden heads to suburban Columbus to take a victory lap just as voters in the state are starting to tune in to a closely contested Senate race between Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan and Republican author and venture capital executive JD Vance. They’re competing in a former swing state that has trended Republican over the last decade.
Intel had delayed groundbreaking on the $20 billion plant until Congress passed the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act. Both Ryan and Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who is facing Democrat Nan Whaley in his reelection bid, plan to be at Friday’s groundbreaking.
In his State of the Union address last March, Biden envisioned the Intel plant as a model for a U.S. economy that revolves around technology, factories and the middle class. The plant speaks to how the president is trying to revive American manufacturing nationwide, including in states that are solidly Republican or political toss-ups.
Chipmaker Micron committed $15 billion for a factory in Idaho, Corning will build an optical fiber facility in Arizona and First Solar plans to construct its fourth solar panel plant in the Southeast, all announcements that stemmed from Biden administration initiatives.
Factory work is one of the few issues going into November’s midterm elections that has crossover appeal at a time when issues such as abortion, inflation and the nature of democracy have dominated the contest to control Congress.
Ryan had largely been hesitant to share a stage with Biden, as appearing with the country’s top Democrat could hurt his chances in a state that backed Republican Donald Trump by eight points in both 2016 and 2020.
Ryan skipped the president’s July 6 visit to Cleveland to plug his administration’s efforts to shore up troubled pension programs for blue-collar workers. Biden nonetheless referred to him as the “future Senator Tim Ryan” and thanked him for his “incredible work” on the legislation.
The Youngstown-area congressman committed to appearing with Biden this week because of the importance of the Intel facility in a state that has long defined itself through its factories, mills and working-class sensibilities.
“This is a huge opportunity,” Ryan told CNN on Sunday. “The CHIPS Act that we passed is all about reshoring high-end manufacturing jobs.”
Yet in a Thursday TV interview with Youngstown’s WFMJ on the eve of Biden’s visit, Ryan said he is “campaigning as an independent.” When asked if Biden should seek a second term, Ryan said, “My hunch is that we need new leadership across the board, Democrats, Republicans, I think it’s time for like a generational move.”
The open Senate seat in Ohio, currently held by the retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman, is one of several hotly contested races that could determine whether Democrats can hold their slim majority in the chamber for the second half of Biden’s term.
Several Democrats in competitive races have at moments sought to maintain some distance from Biden, whose public approval ratings have ticked up in recent weeks but remain underwater.
A spokesman said DeWine also plans to attend the groundbreaking, making him among the few Republicans on the ballot this year who are willing to share a stage with the president. Biden has in recent weeks said that extremist Republican lawmakers who refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election are a threat to democracy, a charge that has only intensified partisan tensions with control of the House and the Senate on the line.
Vance, the Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, hailed the Intel plant in a statement at as “a great bipartisan victory” for the state. He specifically applauded the “hard work” of GOP lawmakers including DeWine and Portman, but Vance pointedly made no mention of Biden.
The shortage of semiconductors has plagued the U.S. and global economies. It cut into production of autos, household appliances and other goods in ways that fueled high inflation, while creating national security risks as the U.S. recognized its dependence on Asia for chip production.
The mix of high prices and long waits for basic goods has left many Americans feeling disgruntled about Biden’s economic leadership, a political weakness that has lessened somewhat as gasoline prices have fallen and many voters have grown concerned about the loss of abortion protections after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
The new law would provide $28 billion in incentives for semiconductor production, $10 billion for new manufacturing of chips and $11 billion for research and development. The funding follows similar efforts by Europe and China to accelerate chip production, which political leaders see as essential for competing economically and militarily.
Biden has pitched the legislation as a “once-in-a-generation investment in America” that could reduce U.S. dependence on Taiwan and South Korea at a time when China is seeking to expand its presence across Asia and its shipping lanes.
Lawmakers crafted the semiconductor investments to favor areas outside the wealthier coastal cities where tech dominates. That means change will be coming to the Ohio city of New Albany, where the Intel plant is being constructed, as well as nearby Johnstown.
Don Harvey, a sporting goods store owner and longtime Johnstown resident, likes the idea of a company making things again in the United States, and also providing potentially high-paying jobs for his five grandchildren down the road. Intel has said pay will average $135,000 for its 3,000 Ohio workers.
“What an opportunity in my eyes for Ohio and the United States as a whole,” said the 63-year-old Harvey.
Elyse Priest lives in a subdivision just up the road from the plant, and received a firsthand taste of the construction recently as she watched a huge cloud of dust roll up from the 1,000-acre site currently being leveled. Priest, 38, also knows the road-widening and added traffic will affect her commute to downtown Columbus where she works as a legal assistant.
“I’m concerned about losing the small town feel I’ve always had and loved about Johnstown,” Priest said. “But I know it’s going to be a greater good for the whole state.”

Nonprofit partnered with AFT provides books with sex imagery, drag queens and gender ideology to K-12 teachers
One of the books the nonprofit sends to teachers is about a little 'boy [who] loves to be naked.'
Warning: This article contains some sexually explicit information
FIRST ON FOX – A nonprofit organization called First Book, which said it has partnered with Disney, the American Federation of Teachers and other entities, provides free and heavily discounted books to low-income schools. Some of those listed in its marketplace contain sex imagery or have been challenged by parents for promoting gender ideology.
First Book, which calls itself an "innovative leader in education equity," has been partnered with Randi Weingarten's AFT union for over 10 years. The AFT also promotes the First Book marketplace for its teachers.
Some of the titles they offer to educators in K-12 schools cover topics such as gender identity, sex, and drag queens. While First Book lists both Disney and American Federation of Teachers generally as its partners, it does not specifically list them as part of an initiative to promote the titles listed in this article.
Fox News Digital reached out to Disney and the AFT for comment but did not receive a response.
AFT UNION PROMOTES METHOD FOR TEACHERS TO HELP KIDS CHANGE THEIR PRONOUNS WITHOUT PARENTS KNOWING
Fred Gets Dressed (Ages 4-6)
"Fred Gets Dressed" is about a little "boy [who] loves to be naked. The book ends when Fred decides to dress up in his mom's closet, which later becomes a family affair involving both his parents dressing up in feminine clothes.
"Fred is naked," the book said. The illustrations depict the child naked 14 times.
"He romps through the house, naked wild and free," the book said. "Fred might never get dressed."
Flamer
"Flamer" is a graphic novel that contains sexually-charged topics and imagery. The characters discuss erections, penis size and the illustrations depict naked teenage boys.
Who Is RuPaul? (Ages 7-9)
"Who is RuPaul?" is about the drag queen and reality TV star, RuPaul Andre Charles. The book contains images of drag queens in sexual positions.
A drag queen… [is] most commonly, a man who dresses up and performs as a woman," the book said. "RuPaul says, 'We're all born naked and the rest is drag.' What Ru means is that we're all the same--and life is a performance."
"RuPaul was once asked if he wished he'd been born a woman. No, Ru answered, he was happy to be a man. (It's a common misunderstanding that drag queens are men who wish to be women," the book said.
"Some drag queens, however, are transgender or nonbinary. For trans people, their gender (how they feel inside) is different from the sex (male or female) they were assigned at birth. Nonbinary people do not identify as entirely male or entirely female. These queens might prefer to be called 'she' or 'they' (rather than 'he') when not performing in drag."
The book also delivers instructions on how to dress as a drag queen. "A drag queen's character is typically an exaggerated, campy image of how women look," the book said.
Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World
"Aristotle and Dante" is about two teenage boys who fall in love. Many if not most of its pages discuss having sex, planning to have sex, sexual pleasure, and sexual desire.
"I'm thinking Dante could charm the pants off me. And my underwear too," the book said. "All I can think about is sleeping next to you. Both of us naked."
Another book offered by the nonprofit, "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe," discusses masturbation.
"Dante enjoyed kissing. And I suspected he liked masturbating too. I thought masturbating was embarrassing. I didn't even know why. It just was. It was like having sex with yourself," the book said. "Ari, Do you masturbate? I'm thinking.... I'm a little obsessed with this topic lately. Maybe it's just a phase. But, Ari, if you do masturbate, what do you think about?"
Pronoun Book (Ages 0-3)
Described as a "joyous introduction to pronouns" the book, which is geared for children of a very young age, discusses the pronoun "they," and neo-pronouns such as "ze," "zie," "sie" and "questioning."
Julian is a Mermaid (Ages 7-9)
The book "Julian is a Mermaid" by author Jessica Love describes a boy who wants to become a mermaid. During the book, the boy repeatedly strips down to his underwear. Later, he puts on lipstick and dons a headdress. He is then given costume jewelry before being taken to the NYC Mermaid Parade where he can freely express himself.
"This beautiful book is one of the very few picture books about a gender non-conforming child," a review of the book, posted to the author's website, said.
It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity (Ages 7-9)
The book teaches children about transgender and cisgender identities.
"This is… Xavier. Xavier is a cisgender boy. That means when Xavier was born, everyone thought he was a boy, and as he grew older, it turned out everyone was right – he is a boy."
NEA TEACHERS UNION PROMOTES BOOK ABOUT TEENAGERS TAKING A KNEE TO NATIONAL ANTHEM
"Everyone feels like either a boy or a girl," except nonbinary children, the book explained.
This is Ruthie's friend Alex. Alex is both a boy and a girl. When Alex was born, everyone thought Alex was a girl, but Alex is both boy and girl. This is Alex's gender identity."
Another character JJ, is neither a boy or a girl and has "they" pronouns. "Ever since JJ was very little, they never felt exactly like a boy or a girl – they just felt like themself. This is JJ's gender identity."
The children's book further claims that "there are many different ways to be a boy or a girl… [or] non-binary."
"Some kids feel that their gender identity isn't always the same – it's often changing."
Being You: A First Conversation about Gender
"Different bodies have different parts... Some bodies have a vagina. Some bodies have a penis. Every person's body parts look different," the book, catered to elementary children, said.
The book advises that adults should teach children about their genitalia.
"Helping children to learn the anatomical names of different body parts–including genitals–empowers children, fosters their self-esteem, and helps to open up important conversations about health and identity. Talk about genitalia when you are naming other body parts, singing-body-part song, or while playing with dolls."
This book is also offered in bulk to teachers. They can get 24 books for $21.
I am Jazz (Ages 4-6)
"I Am Jazz" is co-written by Jazz Jennings, who starred on a TLC show highlighting her life as a transgender teen. The plot begins with a transgender child trying to convince his parents that he is a girl. "Pretending I was a boy felt like telling a lie," the book said.
"Then one amazing day, everything changed. Mom and Dad took me to meet a new doctor who asked me lots of questions. Afterward, the doctor spoke to my parents and I heard the word ‘transgender’ for the very first time. The night at bedtime, my parents both hugged me and said, ‘We understand now. Be who you are. We love you no matter what,’" the text continued.
The book also discusses how using the boys' bathroom didn't feel normal "at all."
Calvin (Ages 4-6)
"Calvin" is about a transgender boy who comes out to the world.
"We love you if you're a boy, girl, neither or both," the child's dad told Calvin. "Dad said there were other transgender people in the world."
When Aidan Became a Brother
The book explores the journey of a young boy named Aidan coming out as transgender.
The book states, "When Aiden was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name... But as Aidan got bigger, he hated the sound of his name... He was really another kind of boy."
Aidan's mother admits she made a mistake misgendering her son, saying, "When you were born, we didn't know you were going to be our son. We made some mistakes, but you helped us fix them."
Then, when Aidan's mother became pregnant, she was asked by someone whether the baby was a boy or girl. "Aidan didn't like it when people asked if he was a boy or a girl, and he hoped the baby couldn't hear yet. He was glad when Mom just smiled and said, 'I'm having a baby.'"
Feminist Baby
"Feminist Baby" waters down the ideas in feminism, so it can be accessible to young kids.
"Meet the irrepressible Feminist Baby! She's funny, fearless, and wants to make as much noise as possible. Readers of all ages will love this smart, refreshing board book that explores feminism in an accessible way," the Amazon description said.
Fox News Digital asked First Books whether schools and or parents are notified when books with sex imagery and gender ideology are brought into schools, and they said, "While we work directly with our community of formal and informal educators who are able to choose the books that serve their students, we recognize the deep bond between those educators and the parents and caregivers of the children they serve.
CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
"We know that the books we provide strengthen those bonds between teachers and parents and support reading… as a critical element of educational equity," First Book said.
When asked about how distributing books with sex imagery promotes diversity, First Book did not respond.

When Gavin Holmes weaved through the defense past would-be tacklers and broke free for the end zone on a punt return in the season opener, his Baylor teammates couldn't contain their excitement.
More than the 72-yard touchdown return, this celebration was about the sixth-year player who scored it. Holmes missed all of the Bears' Big 12 championship season last year because of a broken right foot, and that was after being limited to one game and missing their other conference title game during a two-season span when he twice tore the ACL in his left knee.
“He scored, and I was like, ‘Yes!’ I was at a loss for words because I knew how much it meant to him, I know how much it meant to the team and I knew how much it meant to his parents,” fifth-year Baylor cornerback Mark Milton said this week. “It was a blessing. A lot of people would have given up, but he didn’t.”
Not after five surgeries on his left knee, and all of the rehab that came with those. Not after the broken foot with ligament issues in the spring following the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, when he had 33 catches while playing in all nine games.
“I’ve always said I wanted to play until I physically can’t anymore, because I love this game. It’s all I’ve been doing my whole life,” Holmes said. “I’ve learned so much about myself in this process. And I know that I can still follow my dreams, chase my dreams and do what I want to do. So that really pushed me to keep going.”
In the first quarter of ninth-ranked Baylor's season-opening 69-10 win over FCS team Albany last Saturday, Holmes fielded a punt, escaped the grasp of an initial defender and then eluded several others. The final sprint was along the same sideline as the Baylor bench.
“So cool,” coach Dave Aranda said, aptly describing that entire sequence.
"I would hope that my son and my daughters kind of have the heart that he has, and just the awareness and the compassion that he has," Aranda said. “So you root hard for guys like that. And for him to have an opportunity, man, that’s so cool. It could not happen to a better dude."
Holmes, whose whole family was at the game, said the love and embrace he got from his teammates and coaches after the score was a feeling that he will never forget.
As for what Aranda said about him, Holmes said it was cool to hear.
“Just my journey, my testimony and all that ... I want to be an influence to people, who especially are going through things like that I have been through," Holmes said. “To hear coach Aranda say that about me, especially in reference to his own children, that’s amazing. I’m really appreciative and thankful that God has put me in this position to influence people like that.”
After being part of former coach Matt Rhule’s first signing class in February 2017, Holmes started four of the nine games he played in later that fall as a true freshman before his first torn ACL late that season. He has played in only 11 games since, including those nine in 2020.
Holmes already has his undergraduate degree in health, kinesiology and leisure studies. But he wasn't ready to be done playing for the Bears, who are at No. 21 BYU on Saturday night.
“I just want to contribute to the team in the best way that I can,” he said. “I’m surrounded by great guys and selfishly, it was fun being a part of that Big 12 championship last year, but I want to win one where I’m on the field.”

NEW YORK (AP) — This was a match that would not end. Should not end, one might say. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, two of the brightest young stars of men’s tennis, traded shots of the highest quality and countless momentum swings across five sterling sets for 5 hours, 15 minutes until Alcaraz finally won the last point at 2:50 a.m. on Thursday, the latest finish in U.S. Open history.
It was “only” a quarterfinal, no trophy at stake, yet was as taut a thriller as this year’s tournament has produced or, likely, will, a tour de force of big cuts on the full sprint and plenty of guts, concluding as a 6-3, 6-7 (7), 6-7 (0), 7-5, 6-3 victory for the No. 3-seeded Alcaraz, a 19-year-old from Spain.
“Honestly,” said Alcaraz, who saved a match point in the fourth set, “I still don’t know how I did it.”
He also used words such as “unbelievable” and “amazing.” No hyperbole there.
“This one will hurt for quite a while,” said No. 11 Sinner, a 21-year-old from Italy. “But tomorrow, I will wake up — or today, I will wake up — trying to somehow (take away) only the positives.”
When the 382nd, and final, point was over, Sinner and Alcaraz hugged each other. A handshake at the net would not suffice.
Alcaraz reached his first Grand Slam semifinal and is the youngest man to get that far at the U.S. Open since Pete Sampras won the title at 19 in 1990.
Alcaraz has a chance to move up to No. 1 in the rankings next week, and will face No. 22 Frances Tiafoe of the United States on Friday. The other men’s semifinal that day is No. 5 Casper Ruud of Norway vs. No. 27 Karen Khachanov of Russia.
This match began Wednesday evening at about 9:35 p.m. and easily surpassed the previous mark for latest time of finish at the U.S. Open, which had been 2:26 a.m., shared by three matches.
Alcaraz has been working overtime in New York: His five-set victory over 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic in the fourth round wrapped up at 2:23 a.m. on Tuesday.
“I always say you have to believe in yourself all the time,” Alcaraz said. “The hope is the last thing that you lose.”
After his much more mundane, three-set victory over Andrey Rublev in a quarterfinal that finished at about 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Tiafoe was rather prescient when asked about Alcaraz and Sinner.
“I just hope they play a marathon match, super-long match,” Tiafoe said with a smile, “and they get really tired come Friday.”
Not only did this one run late, it ran long: Only a 5-hour, 26-minute match between Stefan Edberg and Michael Chang in 1992 took more time at the U.S. Open.
Asked afterward how he was feeling physically out there against Sinner, Alcaraz began with a quick response: “I felt great.”
Then he paused, and smiled, before continuing: “Well, probably at the end of the match, I was (at) my end.”
The clock already was past 2 a.m. when Coco Gauff, the 18-year-old American who was the runner-up at the French Open and bowed out in the U.S. Open quarterfinals on Tuesday, spoke for anyone paying attention to Alcaraz vs. Sinner when she tweeted: “this match is insane. I leave at 6am for the airport but I refuse to sleep and miss this. #Sinner #Alcaraz”
Still, even with thousands and thousands of empty seats, there were enough who remained on hand to make as much noise as a full house at times. Both players would wave their rackets or motion with their arms to encourage the fans to get even louder. And, naturally, the fans would oblige.
“Could have finished in three sets. Could have finished in four sets. Could have finished in five sets,” Sinner said. “We both wanted to win, for sure. We both tried our best.”
It was as back-and-forth as could be. The highlights were too many to list. Just one: Alcaraz won one point after extending a rally by wrapping his racket behind his back to make contact with the ball. One more: Alcaraz fell onto his backside, then sprung up to race to smack a backhand that won that point.
After taking the first set, Alcaraz held five set points in the second — but Sinner saved them all.
In the third, Alcaraz broke to lead 6-5 and served for that set — but Sinner broke to force a tiebreaker that he dominated.
In the fourth, it was Sinner who served for the match at 5-4, even coming within a point of victory there — but Alcaraz broke and wound up pushing what already was a masterpiece to a fifth.
And in the fifth, after another memorable shot — a running backhand passing winner that sailed just past Sinner’s outstretched arm — earned a break point and a chance for a 5-3 lead, Alcaraz put a finger to his ear.
He would convert that, then serve it out. When the end did arrive, Alcaraz dropped to his back, his chest heaving, and covered his face with his hand.

By BILL BARROW and JEFF AMY
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) — When asked about his decision to rebuff Donald Trump and certify Joe Biden’s narrow victory in his state, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says he has no option but to defend his actions.
“We are all held accountable by the voters,” the Republican said as he seeks a second term, noting that he hears from voters who backed Trump’s effort to overturn the election and those aghast at the former president’s actions.
“I give them the facts,” Raffensperger said, because “Americans and Georgians are smart people.”
Yet other Georgia Republicans take a different tack. Burt Jones, the lieutenant governor nominee who signed on as a fake elector for Trump, defends his role in the defeated president’s scheme; the two men atop the Georgia ticket — Gov. Brian Kemp and Senate nominee Herschel Walker — don’t say much about the 2020 election or the man who lost it.
The varied approaches reflect perilous fault lines for Republicans as they weigh the former president’s influence against Democrats’ assertions that a Trump-dominated party threatens democracy. Trump’s serial lies that the election was stolen cast a pall nationwide. But nowhere is the dynamic trickier than Georgia, epicenter of Trump’s plan after he personally pressured Raffensperger to “find” more votes. Winning battleground-state elections amid the fallout means coaxing votes from Trump sympathizers and more moderate voters he’s alienated.
The pressure is intensified by pending investigations: a Justice Department inquiry; a congressional examination of the U.S. Capitol attack of Jan. 6, 2021; and special grand jury proceedings in Georgia’s Fulton County, the seat of state government. District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, is focusing on Trump’s pressure campaign against Raffensperger, Kemp and others to ignore voters’ will.
Biden, meanwhile, has stepped up his warnings about “MAGA Republicans” in recent speeches, and some Democrats in Georgia amplify that message.
“I got a question to the entire Republican ticket: How can you say you love this country, and you embrace and support a man that attacks its very foundations?” lieutenant governor candidate Charlie Bailey declared at Democrats’ summer convention.
Jones, Bailey’s opponent, denies that faux electors were part of any such attack. “That was never anything that we said,” Jones said of the slate that convened at the Georgia Capitol as if it were a legitimate share of the Electoral College.
Biden won Georgia by less than 12,000 votes out of 5 million cast. The result was affirmed by multiple counts, one partially done by hand. Jones and others have said they were merely preserving Trump’s legal options, a claim undermined by evidence that later emerged of a coordinated effort to impanel unauthorized electors in multiple states. Elections officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no evidence Biden’s win was tainted. Many courts, including judges Trump appointed, rejected his claims of fraud.
In Georgia’s marquee races, Kemp and Walker avoid the topic.
Kemp, locked in a tight race with Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, acknowledges Trump only when he must. It’s the approach he’s taken since he ratified 16 Democratic electors after Raffensperger certified Biden’s win, a sharp contrast from 2018, when he accepted Trump’s endorsement during a hotly contested GOP primary for governor. Now, as when Trump raged at him publicly in 2020, Kemp explains that he was “following the Constitution” when he blessed Biden’s electors.
That sidestepping strategy was girded first when Kemp crushed Trump’s hand-picked candidate, former Sen. David Perdue, in a May primary. The governor got another boost in August when a state judge ruled Kemp won’t have to testify about 2020 before the Georgia special grand jury until after the fall election.
The spring primary results show the risks. Kemp and Raffensperger, who also had a contested primary, benefited from tens of thousands of Democratic-leaning voters crossing over to cast anti-Trump GOP primary ballots. But Perdue still garnered 236,000 votes — a sign that a pro-Trump GOP faction hasn’t forgotten about 2020. Kemp’s margin over Abrams in 2018 was about 55,000 votes.
Kemp aides acknowledge those splits, saying any credit Kemp has gotten from independents or swing-voting Democrats is already settled and there’s nothing to gain by talking about Trump. That’s why Kemp’s legal team wanted to delay the public spectacle of him entering and exiting the grand jury.
Walker, a first-time candidate trying to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock, won’t say whether Biden won legitimately. “I don’t know, did he? … We need to ask my opponent did (Biden) win fair and square,” Walker told reporters.
Warnock, indeed, does not question the results.
Despite a close relationship with Trump — the former president urged Walker to run and then endorsed him — Walker has insisted on camera that he’s never heard Trump claim the election was stolen. Trump has said so repeatedly, including his most recent appearances ahead of the midterms. “The 2020 election was rigged and stolen … by people who got into office through cheating and through fraud,” Trump falsely declared last week in Pennsylvania.
Walker, though, doesn’t raise the subject on his own. His mentions of Biden and Democrats revolve around inflation or cultural issues, and he largely eschews Trump.
“Never thought about it,” Walker said, when asked whether he’d invite Trump to campaign in Georgia.
Abrams and Warnock perhaps help their opponents by not stoking 2020 embers themselves.
Warnock has concentrated on defending himself against Walker’s argument that he’s a Biden lackey; the Democrat tailors counterattacks around Walker’s exaggerations of his business and academic record, rather than associating him with Trump.
The two gubernatorial camps, meanwhile, name the economy as the most important issue, while agreeing that abortion could give Democrats an opening. Abrams’ paid advertising, especially, hits Kemp for signing a law banning abortions at six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they’re pregnant.
Lauren Groh-Wargo, Abrams’ campaign manager, said Abrams “will remind people that (Kemp) pals around with election deniers” but emphasized that her first task is to sell voters on what she’d do as chief executive.
Kemp’s advisers say they might be more worried about Trump fallout if Bailey had more money in the lieutenant governor’s race to use paid advertising to magnify his all-out assault on Jones and if Raffensperger’s opponent, Bee Nguyen, had a larger advertising megaphone.
Despite Jones’ protestations, he was a top advocate for a post-election special session in Georgia, with the intent of shifting electoral votes to Trump. Jones, whom Trump called “a man of courage” in a December 2020 rally in Valdosta, signed papers supporting a court case by Texas to overturn Georgia’s results. On Jan. 5, 2021, Jones personally urged Vice President Mike Pence to delay Biden’s constitutional designation as president-elect.
“He got on his daddy’s plane and flew to Washington D.C., the day before the insurrection, met with the vice president, with a letter in his pocket, to convince the vice president not to count the electoral vote,” Bailey said in an interview, adding that Jones’ demands aligned him with “the violent mob” that stormed the Capitol.
Jones also visited Arizona to watch a Republican-backed recount that only reaffirmed Biden’s win.
“If you think that’s okay, then I’m not your candidate,” Bailey said, “because that’s the actions of an authoritarian.”
Raffensperger, for his part, said his interactions with Jones are “great.” But it’s notable the secretary of state and governor, at least for now, are running campaigns distinct from other Republican nominees, including Jones.
“That’s a process of what happens all the time, and I don’t think the other side is 100% unified either,” Raffensperger said. “What I’m really more focused on is what I can control, and that’s myself.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Xiyu “Janet” Lin of China opened with five birdies in six holes, birdied all but one of the par 5s and had an 8-under 64 on Thursday for a one-shot lead over Nasa Hataoka in the Kroger Queen City Championship.
The LPGA Tour returned to Cincinnati for the first time in 33 years and was greeted with a gorgeous day and plenty of good scoring at Kenwood Country Club.
That included a remarkable performance by 14-year-old Gianna Clemente, who made it through Monday qualifying for the third week in a row on the LPGA Tour and this time has a chance to play all four days. Clemente played bogey-free for a 70.
It did not include Lexi Thompson. One week after she played in the final group and didn’t make a birdie until the 18th hole to tie for 16th, Thompson didn’t make a single birdie in her round of 76, her highest of the year at a regular LPGA event. She had a 77 at Muirfield when she missed the cut in the Women’s British Open.
Lin is coming off a tie for seventh at the Dana Open, showing signs of life after a good start to the year. Playing in the afternoon, she opened with three straight birdies on the back nine, made par, and then added two more birdies.
“That was a dream start. You can’t ask for a better start,” Lin said. “So I just tell myself, ‘Need to keep going.’’
Her lone bogey came on the par-4 seventh toward the end of her round, and she responded with her ninth birdie of the round to regain the lead over Hataoka.
“I still do need to adjust my tee shots, but other than that, my iron and putting is good. I just have to keep that going,” Hataoka said.
The surprise was Clemente, who splits time between her native Ohio and Florida and lost in the championship match of the U.S. Junior Girls this year.
She got through Monday qualifying for Canada and missed the cut, then did it again for the Dana Open outside Toledo and missed the cut.
For her third straight start, the teenager made only two birdies and very few mistakes. And she wasn’t entirely satisfied.
“I feel good about it. Could have been a little better. I can think of a couple putts that maybe I should have made,” Clemente said. “But it was all right. I definitely know that I can go lower than that, so I’m going to go work on my putting a little bit and we’ll get that fixed up a little bit and hopefully it’ll be lower tomorrow.”
Former U.S. Women’s Open champion A Lim Kim and Sarah Kemp were at 66, while the group at 67 included Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand and former Women’s PGA champion Sei Young Kim.
The most exciting round belonged to Paula Creamer in her second tournament back from having her first baby. She shot a 72 that was far from even. Creamer holed out from 104 yards with a gap wedge for an eagle on par-4 fifth hole. Three holes later, Creamer made a hole-in-one with a 7-iron.
That’s two eagles in one round, along with three birdies. But she also had five bogeys and a double bogey, and had to settle for at least being inside the cut line going into Friday.
“I made a lot of putting mistakes and did some mental errors here and there. Unfortunately, my scorecard is a roller coaster. But that’s golf,” Creamer said.
“I feel good with where my game is at. I know it’s an up and down thing, but I just need to stay on path with what we’re doing,” she said. “I really do think it’s going to produce great things here eventually.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Jonquel Jones had 15 points and 10 rebounds and the Connecticut Sun overcame an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter, beating the Chicago Sky 72-63 Thursday night in the decisive fifth game of the semifinal series and advancing to the WNBA Finals.
Connecticut scored the final 18 points of the game to overcome a 63-54 deficit with 4:46 remaining.
All the Sun starters scored in double figures and Connecticut advanced to the Finals of the WNBA playoffs for the third time overall and first time since 2019.
Connecticut will face the top-seeded Las Vegas Aces for the WNBA title. The first game of the series is Sunday in Las Vegas.
“To be honest, going to enjoy this moment right now,” Jones said. “Hats off to the Aces. We’ll see them in the championship. I’m just enjoying this moment right here.”
Chicago was attempting to become the first team to repeat as WNBA champions since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001-02.
Trailing 63-54, Connecticut took over. DeWanna Bonner was fouled after making a layup by Kahleah Copper with 3:46 left. The two players exchanged words and that seemed to energize the Sun.
Jones scored inside to put the Sun ahead with two minutes left, hitting an ensuing free throw for a three-point lead.
A pull-up jumper by Courtney Williams with 47.5 seconds remaining gave the Sun a five-point cushion, and Bonner knocked down four free throws to put the game out of reach.
Connecticut outscored Chicago 25-5 in the fourth quarter, recovering from a disastrous third period in which it scored eight points and turned the ball over seven times.
“We were on the ropes and it took that type of defensive quarter to advance to the finals,” Sun coach Curt Miller said.
Copper led the Sky with 22 points on 8-for-19 shooting, including 3 of 5 from long distance, and added four steals.
DeWanna Bonner chipped in with 15 points, Hiedeman added 14 and Williams and Alyssa Thomas each added 12 for Connecticut.
Emma Meesseman, who finished with 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting and six rebounds, gave the Sky an 11-point lead with 7:20 to play.
In the opening half, the Sun continued the torrid shooting they had in Game 4, when the made 56.9% of their shots. But that slowed in the third quarter, as the Sky defense tightened.
Candace Parker buried a 3-pointer and Copper followed with three-point play to give Chicago a 10-point lead entering the fourth.
But Chicago’s shooting went cold and the Sky missed their last eight shots.
Parker finished with seven points and nine rebounds.

Chicago will face the top-seeded Aces in Las Vegas in the opener of the WNBA Finals on Sunday afternoon.

Britain's King Charles to address a nation in mourning
By Michael Holden and Gerhard Mey
BALMORAL, Scotland, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Britain's King Charles will address a nation in mourning on Friday following the death of his mother and the country's figurehead, Queen Elizabeth, at the age of 96.
Charles, who raced to be by the side of the queen before she passed away at her Scottish home on Thursday, was due to travel back to London with his wife Camilla, now Queen Consort, before meeting the prime minister and making a televised statement.
The death of the queen, Britain's longest-reigning monarch and a towering presence on the world stage for seven decades, has drawn condolences from around the world.
At first light in London, members of the public continued laying flower outside Buckingham Palace and billboards across the city displayed messages of condolence. Newspapers ran front-page photo tributes to the queen.
On Thursday, thousands had gathered outside the queen's palace, where the news was met with a stunned silence as the flag was lowered to half-mast.
Many described a sense of shock at the death of the only monarch most Britons have ever known.
"She's the person we've always looked up to," a tearful retiree Christine West told Reuters outside the queen's Windsor Castle home to the west of London. "It's a sad day for us all".
Charles, who automatically became monarch of the United Kingdom and the head of state of 14 other realms, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand, said the death was a moment of great sadness for himself and his family.
"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world," the 73-year-old said in a statement.
He is expected to meet Prime Minister Liz Truss on Friday before later addressing the country. There will also be gun salutes.
News that the queen's health was deteriorating emerged shortly after midday on Thursday when her doctors said in a statement that she was under medical supervision, prompting her family to rush to Scotland.
The queen had been suffering from what Buckingham Palace had called "episodic mobility problems" since the end of last year, forcing her to withdraw from nearly all her public engagements. Her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, died in 2021.
Her last public duty came only on Tuesday, when she appointed Truss prime minister - the 15th of her reign.
"The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world," Truss said outside her Downing Street office where the flag, like those at royal palaces and government buildings across Britain, were lowered.
"Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth II provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed. She was the very spirit of Great Britain – and that spirit will endure."
SEVEN DECADE REIGN
The news stunned not only people in Britain, with condolences pouring in from leaders around the world.
"Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world," U.S. President Joe Biden said in a statement.
Queen Elizabeth II, who was also the world's oldest and longest-serving head of state, came to the throne following the death of her father King George VI on Feb. 6, 1952, when she was just 25.
She was crowned in June the following year. The first televised coronation was a foretaste of a new world in which the lives of the royals were to become increasingly scrutinised by the media.
"I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust," she said in a speech to her subjects on her coronation day.
Elizabeth became monarch at a time when Britain still retained much of its old empire with Winston Churchill her Britain's prime minister, while Josef Stalin led the Soviet Union and the Korean War was raging.
Bereft of its symbol of continuity and resilience, Britain begins its new era in grave economic crisis, marked by ructions with Europe and a populace disaffected by years of political strife and scandal.

Pretoria – A 32-year-old man who is in hospital has been detained, under police guard, as he will be questioned on the murder of his 17-year-old girlfriend and her grandmother at Emadamini, near Ermelo.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson, Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said the bodies of the two were found on Monday.
“The granny and granddaughter’s lifeless bodies were found in their house by family members after being contacted by the granddaughter’s employer who was worried that she failed to show up for work on Monday,” Mohlala said.
On their arrival, family members enquired from neighbours, but no one had knowledge of the granny and granddaughter’s whereabouts as the doors of their house were locked. They were also not responding to phone calls.
“The granddaughter’s boyfriend is said to have been contacted to give family members the house keys but he reportedly denied any knowledge of the keys. When asked about the whereabouts of his girlfriend, he allegedly mentioned that his girlfriend was in hospital as she indicated that she was not feeling well,” Mohlala said.
“On the said Monday at about 6pm, family members grew concerned and resorted to breaking the house window to investigate. They were reportedly met with two lifeless bodies covered with blankets. Both had head injuries and bruises all over.”
The police report further indicates that community members started a manhunt for the boyfriend with the hope that he would shed some light on what might have happened.
The man was tracked down on Tuesday morning and handed over to the police at about 2am.
“Although he sustained some injuries and community members alleged that he stabbed himself with a knife. Police then apprehended him for questioning, hence placed under police guard in hospital so that he could give clarity and information that may assist in the investigation,” Mohlala said.
Meanwhile, provincial commissioner of SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant-General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela has “vehemently” condemned the gruesome murder of the two women.
“We continue to experience senseless killings of the vulnerable groups and in this instance, it is a female senior citizen as well as a female minor. This is a matter of concern. However, police will work hard to get to the bottom of this where any person who is behind their murder will have to face the full might of the law,” Manamela said.
“A team of investigators has been assembled to investigate and we hope that they will make a breakthrough soon.”

That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

California wildfires threaten mountain communities
By JOHN ANTCZAK
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Firefighters on Friday struggled to control raging California wildfires that have grown explosively during extreme heat and forced thousands of residents to flee mountain communities at both ends of the state.
The Fairview Fire in Southern California covered about 37 square miles (95 square kilometers) of Riverside County and was just 5% contained. Two people died while fleeing flames on Monday and at least 11 structures have been destroyed. More than 18,000 homes were threatened by the fire fed by shifting winds, officials said Thursday evening.
To the north in the Sierra Nevada, the Mosquito Fire burned out of control, scorching at least 20 square miles (52 square kilometers) and threatening 3,600 homes in Placer and El Dorado counties, while blanketing the region in smoke.
Flames jumped the American River, burning structures in the mountain hamlet of Volcanoville and moving closer to the towns of Foresthill, home to about 1,500 people, and Georgetown, population 3,000. Fire spokesperson Chris Vestal called the fast-moving blaze an “extreme and critical fire threat.”
Stefani Lake evacuated her hilltop home near Georgetown Thursday after sheriff’s deputies knocked on doors telling people to get out. “The dogs are in the back of the car, I’ve got a room for the night, so I’m ready to leave,” Lake told the Sacramento Bee.
About 100 miles (160 kilometer) to the east, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection warned the Reno area that air quality could be very unhealthy to hazardous due to smoke from the Mosquito Fire.
The fire’s cause remained under investigation. Pacific Gas & Electric notified the state Public Utilities Commission that the U.S. Forest Service placed caution tape around the base of a PG&E transmission pole but that no damage could be seen. PG&E said unspecified “electrical activity” occurred close in time to the report of the fire on Sept. 6.
Another dangerous blaze burned in stands of timber near the Big Bear Lake resort region in the San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles. It was just 2% contained after scorching nearly 2 square miles (5 square kilometers).
California faced other weather threats as an oppressive heat wave strained the state power grid and moisture from a tropical storm threatened to unleash thunderstorms and floods.
A surge of clouds and showers associated with Tropical Storm Kay off Mexico’s Baja California peninsula knocked the edge off temperatures in Southern California at times but also were a potential problem for solar generation. The storm was downgraded from a hurricane Thursday evening.
Despite the initial impacts of Kay, forecasters warned that the heat was not yet done.
“The seemingly endless heat wave that has been plaguing California will finally becoming to an end across at least Southern California, but not before two more very hot days and very warm nights,” the Los Angeles-area weather office wrote.
Operators of California’s power grid issued another “Flex Alert” call for voluntary cuts in use of electricity and expanded the period by two hours, 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. The alert expired Thursday night without the need for targeted blackouts to ease the stress on the power grid.
Wildfire smoke and the cloud cover created uncertainty about solar power production in afternoon hours when temperatures rise toward their peaks, said Elliot Mainzer, president and CEO of the California Independent System Operator.
Cal-ISO has issued Flex Alerts since last week and has avoided ordering rolling power outages, although a miscommunication with one Northern California provider led to blackouts.
With record demand on power supplies across the West, California snapped its record energy use around 5 p.m. Tuesday with 52,061 megawatts, far above the previous high of 50,270 megawatts set July 24, 2006.
An emergency appeal for conservation that was sent to Californians’ cellphones was credited with an immediate drop in demand on the electrical grid Tuesday evening.
Storm and wind conditions associated with the approaching hurricane were likely to create a new set of risks for power shortages in Southern California, he noted.
Kay was expected to reach northern Baja California on Friday, the National Weather Service said. Despite losing hurricane strength, Kay was expected to send a surge of moisture into Southern California. Strong winds, heavy rain and flash floods were likely Friday evening through Saturday. Tropical storm warnings were posted for mariners.
Up the West Coast, forecasters predicted strong, gusting winds and low humidity across western Oregon beginning Friday and authorities warned of heightened wildfire danger after an unseasonably hot and dry late summer.
An Oregon utility said it will cut power to about 12,500 customers to the south and west of Portland in anticipation of strong, dry winds that pose a severe wildfire danger in the region. Another utility says about 30,000 additional customers could see their power cut as well in a bid to prevent fire from sagging or broken power lines.

BEIJING , Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NaaS Technology Inc. ("NaaS", or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NAAS), the first publicly listed Chinese EV charging service provider, has recently entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Newrizon, a Chinese manufacturer that works with smart connected new energy commercial vehicles. NaaS and Newrizon will both draw upon the advantages that each partner possesses in terms of technology, resources, and services as they cooperate in the field of smart connected new energy commercial vehicles. The goal of the strategic partnership is to establish a new charging network, facilitate the formation of an intelligent charging ecosystem, and accelerate the popularization of new energy commercial vehicles. In doing so, both parties hope to not only facilitate the development of green logistics, but also to enable the achievement of China's "dual carbon" goals.
As a new player in ground transport, new energy commercial vehicles have been promoted heavily as they are regarded as an important means towards achieving the industry's "dual carbon" goals. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ("CAAC"), the market penetration rate for new energy commercial vehicles reached 10.2% this July. Global sales of new energy commercial vehicles were up to 142,000 as of July this year, representing a year-on-year growth of 75.3%. The China Passenger Car Association estimated that the sales of new energy vehicles would exceed 350,000 in 2022.
Currently, the commercial vehicle industry is pursuing the advancement of smart technologies. As an innovator, Newrizon is committed to the research and development of smart connected new energy commercial vehicles. Newrizon is improving the efficiency of the logistics industry with its cutting-edge, smart-connected technologies and full life cycle management systems. Newrizon develops its automatic driving solutions via a close coupling of its independently developed technologies for vehicles, power, chassis, and network connections. It has been awarded the L4 level automatic driving test license by the China Automotive Technology & Research Center Co. Ltd.
Business-use new energy commercial vehicles suffer more from the challenges of charging than new energy passenger vehicles. There are several reasons for this. First, their use in long-distance freight transport requires greater demand for charging. Second, the requirement to download different apps from different charging pile operators during long stretches of travel can be a burden for drivers. Third, commercial drivers often live in their vehicles when in transit, and their needs for food and beverage, hospitality, commercial purchases etc. often cannot currently be met while charging their vehicles. For all these reasons, new energy commercial vehicle manufacturers are determined to upgrade charging services and improve the user experience in charging.
NaaS and Newrizon, through their cooperative effort, will jointly upgrade Newrizon's charging services and improve user experience. Kuaidian, a strategic partner of NaaS, will open its nationwide digital charging network to Newrizon's mobile applications which include the Newrizon App as well as Newrizon mini-programs in WeChat and Alipay. Newrizon users can simply open these apps to find information such as prices and the locations of nearby charging stations, as well as directions and navigational aids. While at a charging station, users can enjoy the conveniences of charging with a single press of a button and pay online. This service was officially launched on September 5. In addition, based on the online, offline and non-electric services covering the entire value chain of the new energy industry, NaaS will provide restrooms, massage chairs, self-service counters for food and groceries, and other facilities at many charging stations. These features will allow Newrizon users to dine, rest, and shop while charging.
As a new energy service provider, NaaS provides industry-level solutions for charging pile manufacturers, operators, OEMs, vehicle network companies, logistics companies, large Internet companies, and other enterprises. On June 13, NaaS was listed on NASDAQ. According to the Company's Q2 financial report, in the first half of 2022, NaaS delivered 1.062 billion kWh to its users, representing a year-on-year increase of 160%. As of June 30, 2022, NaaS' services covered 358 major cities in China, connecting 44,000 charging stations and 400,000 charging connectors.
The current integration of automobiles with developments in the fields of energy, transportation, information and communication is accelerating. Liang Xing, Vice President of Operations for NaaS, said, "The commercial vehicle industry is accelerating its embrace of new energy. Newrizon is promoting the integration of new energy and autonomous driving technologies to commercial vehicles. NaaS will work closely with Newrizon to improve the smart-connected ecosystem with an intelligent charging network, promote innovation in the new energy commercial vehicle industry, and allow users to enjoy intelligent travel that is both pleasant and efficient."
Kuai Jun, Vice President of Marketing for Newrizon, said, "The intelligent charging network effectively upgrades the experience for new energy commercial vehicles drivers, which is of great significance to the development of green logistics and transportation. NaaS is a leading electric vehicle charging service provider in China. This new partnership will effectively strengthen Newrizon's efforts to build an electric, intelligent and networked ecosystem. It will also help accelerate the popularization of new energy commercial vehicles in China."

The global nut meals market is fragmented owing to the presence of several vendors operating in the market. Vendors mainly compete in the market by introducing new products and launching marketing campaigns. Vendors in the market compete on factors such as price, quality, innovation, service, packaging, brand image, distribution, and promotion. Besides, any technological advances by one player in the market can render products from other vendors obsolete or uneconomical. Vendors also focus on diversifying business operations and positioning their products, making the competition intense during the forecast period.
The report identifies Blue Diamond Growers, Bobs Red Mill Natural Foods Inc., COFCO International, Detroit Gourmet Nut Co., HBS Natural Choice, Honeyville Inc., Kanegrade Ltd., King Arthur Baking Co. Inc., Ludlow Nut Co. Ltd., McCormick and Co. Inc., NOW Health Group Inc., Oh Nuts, Royal Nut Co., Sun Organic Farm, Superior Nut Co. Inc., The Hershey Co., The Wonderful Co. LLC, and Tierra Farm as some of the major market participants.
Although the increasing demand from millennials will offer immense growth opportunities, stringent government regulations in most developed countries will challenge the growth of the market participants. To make the most of the opportunities, market vendors should focus more on the growth prospects in the fast-growing segments, while maintaining their positions in the slow-growing segments.

- food allergy among consumers: There is an increase in the number of people suffering from food allergies globally. Food allergy is caused when the immune system reacts to the ingestion of certain foods. Ingredients of packaged foods and meats that can create allergic reactions in some people include (but are not limited to) milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish (e.g., crab, lobster, and shrimp), tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, and pecan), peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. Even consumption of small amounts of food allergens can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives, and swollen airways. In some people, a food allergy can cause severe symptoms, or even a life-threatening reaction is, known as anaphylaxis. For example, in the US, nearly 3% of the adult population suffers from shellfish allergy.

# Räuberwilddiebenmoogart\n## Es beginnt mit der Rückkehr und einem Brush with Mirth (Wende-Etage ab Kapo-II – Endgegeln-Abgeschweif-III Kapitelf) der 4 Ränder\nEs beginnt alles zu reißende, es blei in 25 Wenge nichts besser und der Tod kam um und verstund, so die Brille hat an Like that overlooked home undergoing a massive renovation just hours before an open house that seems a bit premature, the University of New Mexico football team is hoping to jump into the market with both feet knowing it’s probably too early to have an opportunity this big.
But that’s exactly what this is, an opportunity. A huge one.
Nevermind the mess. Don’t pay attention to the chaos. The pieces are in place and things will eventually come together but, for now, the question is if this opportunity will be the one on which the Lobos can finally capitalize?
New Mexico will host Boise State on Friday night at University Stadium under the unblinking eye of a national television broadcast. Decked out in head-to-toe cherry, the Lobos are in the coveted Friday night time slot that makes the Mountain West Conference’s TV package with CBS Sports Network so appealing to the league.
Friday nights usually draw decent ratings because of the paucity of games across the country. There are no NFL games, and even the most dramatic regular season baseball game doesn’t hold up in the ratings to a college football game.
The only other college game Friday night is Louisville-Central Florida on ESPN2, a game that kicks off an hour and a half before UNM’s.
In short, it’s time for the Lobos to put up or shut up. Quit talking about building this thing and just go out there and get it done. Who better to do that against than the highest profile team the conference has to offer? Boise State is a national brand and its name alone draws in viewers.
Truth is, the Lobos might not be ready. The reclamation project of coach Danny Gonzales has always identified years 4 and 5 for seeing dividends pay off. This is only year 3. Regardless, he can’t help but feel this is a golden chance to land a haymaker and finally get people to look at New Mexico football differently.
That haymaker has to deliver a win or it’s simply not enough.
“There’s no moral victories,” Gonzales said earlier this week. “If we go in there and play good, it’s a close game and we lose that does me no good. It doesn’t. I mean, walking into a locker room after you lose a game and say, ‘Hey guys you did a really good job, sorry.’ No. For all the stuff they’ve been doing all year long and all the training that they do, you get 12 guaranteed opportunities and when you lose one of them they really hurt.”
That’s not entirely true. A close, competitive loss to mighty Boise State would help turn heads. Fans are so apathetic to college sports in this state that people have never needed an excuse for not caring. Most don’t pay attention, and those who sit on the fence use the near misses as ammunition to do something else.
But a win?
Gonzales thinks it could energize Lobos fans enough to have them sell out the Sept. 17 game against UTEP. It seems like a laughably optimistic view from a man who loves his alma mater as much as he does a family member. What he really wants are the fans who perpetually take a wait and see approach to give this team a look-see.
Well, here you go, Lobos. You have a shot to fill that sea of empty bleacher seats. All it takes is a huge upset of the MWC’s biggest name on national TV. It will send ripples (not shockwaves) through the state and possibly push the next home crowd closer to 30,000.
On paper the timing feels right. Boise State got off to a horrendous start in a loss to Oregon State last week. The Broncos have gone just 7-6 under current coach Andy Avalos, a pedestrian mark that would probably make Lobos fans do cartwheels but isn’t nearly the standard Boise State sets for itself.
It begs the question: Are the Broncos actually vulnerable? The oddsmakers say nope, having installed the Lobos as 17-point underdogs.
In the history of UNM football, they’ve beaten Boise State only once, and that 2015 team used it as a springboard to a bowl game. Win No. 2 against the Broncos might well do the same.
But first things first. Let everyone in for that open house and get this thing done. Quit talking about the future and make the future now.

Convicted murderers James Carver, 57, and Martin McCauley, 65, have each spent nearly four decades in prison, but they long ago ceased posing any threat to the public. During that time, McCauley has had four back surgeries and now uses a walker and a brace. Carver was operated on for a brain tumor, a procedure that left him incontinent. He is reliant on a wheelchair and “needs assistance with dressing and feeding when he shakes with tremors.” He has also attempted suicide and been back and forth for stays at Bridgewater State Hospital twice.
But Carver and McCauley have both been denied medical parole by Correction Commissioner Carol Mici. The state’s highest court will hear arguments Friday in the two cases, which raise the question of whether the commissioner is abiding by a 2018 law, designed to provide an exit ramp for terminally ill or permanently incapacitated prisoners, or whether she’s going out of her way to avoid doing so.

“By the commissioner’s standard, no prisoner would qualify for medical parole unless they were debilitated to the point of being completely immobile, with no use of their hands or limbs,” according to an amicus brief filed in the cases by Prisoners’ Legal Services of Massachusetts, the Disability Law Center and the Committee for Public Counsel Services.
“The Legislature did not envision medical parole as a release mechanism only available in the most extreme cases, but rather as an essential tool for dealing with the Commonwealth’s rapidly aging prison population. The statute was designed to alleviate the Commonwealth’s burden of caring for dying or frail elderly prisoners, and to allow them to live out their final days in a more humane and medically appropriate community setting,” the brief notes.
Now, for the third time in as many years, the Supreme Judicial Court will be asked to judge the seriousness of the Department of Correction’s efforts at implementing a policy that this state was among the last in the nation to adopt.

The numbers alone are an indication that DOC isn’t exactly throwing open the prison gates for those who believe they qualify under the law. Between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, the most recent year for which data is available, 203 inmates filed petitions for medical parole, of which 17 were granted. Two of those petitioners died prior to their release. Since the program began in 2018, only 56 prisoners have been granted medical parole. Among those, only two have been returned to custody — not for committing any criminal offense but for violations of the terms of their parole.
Among those who had their petitions denied, 44 have appealed their cases to superior court as allowed under that 2018 law. And that volume of appeals might have been what attracted the attention of the SJC to take yet another judicial look at the law’s implementation.
That, and at least five cases where superior court judges overturned the commissioner’s ruling and ordered DOC to release the inmates on medical parole. They included:
▪ Henry Bys, 71, imprisoned since 1973, confined to a wheelchair with “severe avascular necrosis in both hips” who required assistance for dressing and toileting. The court faulted Mici for focusing on Bys’ 1973 crime — the brutal murder of a hitchhiker in Northampton — as “the sum and substance of the commissioner’s public safety analysis,” adding “it is hard to imagine how he [Bys] could pose a public safety risk today by virtue of the details of that crime, committed nearly half a century ago.”

▪ Epiphany Lazarre’s petition was denied although he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancerous brain tumor that had already confined him to a wheelchair and was deemed terminally ill by two DOC physicians. The court found Mici’s decision arbitrary and capricious and directed his release.
▪ Dennis Daye, 71, imprisoned since his 1986 conviction for three murders, was paralyzed by a stroke, required the use of a wheelchair, and was dependent on nursing care in a DOC infirmary but was denied medical parole for disciplinary infractions brought against him “during his early years of incarceration.” A single justice of the SJC, raising issues about whether that was “consistent with statutory criteria,” sent the case back to the superior court.
Mici’s record is replete with similar instances — several prisoners suffering from dementia and requiring round-the-clock care, another who suffered a traumatic brain injury while in prison resulting in “severe cognitive impairment” — none were deemed fit for medical parole. Mici, who has been with the department since 1987, was named commissioner by Governor Charlie Baker in 2019.
There will always be those convicted of crimes so heinous that it would be tempting — say, for a correction commissioner, to look for a rationale to keep them locked up forever. Carver, for example, was convicted of starting a rooming house fire in which 15 people lost their lives. But then again his case is also being appealed with the help of the Boston College Innocence Program and that of the public defender’s Innocence Program on the basis that it used now “scientifically unfounded” theories on how the fire started.

The broader point is, Carver’s guilt or innocence is immaterial to the issue of medical parole. The law says the commissioner shall release those deemed so incapacitated that their further incarceration is both inhumane to them and a burden on the taxpayers.
Whatever future guidance comes from the SJC could be enormously helpful. But just as critical will be a fresh approach at DOC, which could be around the corner. The Democratic nominee for attorney general, Andrea Campbell, has made increasing transparency at the department, which she called a “black hole” of information, part of her election platform. She has pledged to make the department “more accountable” for its policies. Backed up by a new governor — who can name a new correction commissioner — that’s what it will take to enforce a law that cries out for better enforcement.
But those political changes will take time. Sadly, for some of those behind bars today, time is already running out.

The 31,000-year-old skeleton of a young adult found in a cave in Indonesia that is missing its left foot and part of its left leg reveal the oldest known evidence of an amputation, according to a new study.
Scientists say the amputation was performed when the person was a child — and that the “patient” went on to live for years as an amputee.
The prehistoric surgery could show that humans were making medical advances much earlier than previously thought, according to the study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Researchers were exploring a cave in Borneo, in a rainforest region known for having some of the earliest rock art in the world, when they came across the grave, said Tim Maloney, an archaeologist at Griffith University in Australia and the study's lead researcher.
Though much of the skeleton was intact, it was missing its left foot and the lower part of its left leg, he explained. After examining the remains, the researchers concluded the foot bones weren't missing from the grave, or lost in an accident — they were carefully removed.
The remaining leg bone showed a clean, slanted cut that healed over, Maloney said. There were no signs of infection, which would be expected if the child had gotten its leg bitten off by a creature like a crocodile.

And there were also no signs of a crushing fracture, which would have been expected if the leg had snapped off in an accident.
The person appears to have lived for around six to nine more years after losing the limb, eventually dying from unknown causes as a young adult, researchers say.
This shows that the prehistoric foragers knew enough about medicine to perform the surgery without fatal blood loss or infection, authors concluded. Researchers don't know what kind of tool was used to amputate the limb, or how infection was prevented — but they speculate that a sharp stone tool may have made the cut, and point out that some of the rich plant life in the region has medicinal properties.
Also, the community would have had to care for the child for years afterward, since surviving the rugged terrain as an amputee wouldn't have been easy.
This early surgery “rewrites the history of human medical knowledge and developments", Maloney said at the briefing.

Before this find, the earliest example of amputation had been in a French farmer from 7,000 years ago, who had part of his forearm removed. Scientists had thought that advanced medical practices developed around 10,000 years ago, as humans settled down into agricultural societies, authors said.
But this study adds to growing evidence that humans started caring for each other's health much earlier in their history, said Alecia Schrenk, an anthropologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who was not involved with the study.
“It had long been assumed healthcare is a newer invention,” Schrenk said in an email. “Research like this article demonstrates that prehistoric peoples were not just left to fend for themselves.”

Energy was high in the Watson Chapel fieldhouse on a Thursday afternoon.
The Wildcats' first 5A-Central Conference game is tonight at home, and it's against the crosstown rival Pine Bluff Zebras. For Wildcats and Zebras fans, this is the game to watch this week in Jefferson County.
"We're fired up," Watson Chapel Coach Maurice Moody said. "I think the world of Coach [Micheal] Williams, and we're fraternity brothers. We are going to compete and be friends afterwards."
Williams and Moody are in their first year coaching the Zebras and Wildcats. They are rebuilding their teams' cultures with positivity and leadership.
"This is good for the city," Moody said. "We need competition and we need positive here."
The Zebras played their first game last week at home, where they beat the Little Rock Central Tigers, 36-6.
Coming into tonight's game, the Wildcats lost to the Ouachita Christian School Eagles, 35-20, last Friday in Monroe, La. In their season opener in Wildcat Stadium, the Wildcats shut down the Texarkana Razorback,s 48-0.
"Preparation is normal," Moody said. "It's been a really good week. The kids are focused, motivated. This is a crosstown rivalry and I didn't have to pump them up much."
Last year the Zebras, then in Class 6A, beat the Wildcats 46-28. The Zebras are 11-4-1 since 2004 against the Wildcats.
Many of the players on both teams grew up together and played sports together when they were younger. Zebras all-purpose threat Austyn Dendy played Little League football with Wildcat quarterback Akyell Madison.
"All of us [Wildcats] played with them [Zebras]," Madison said. "We just have to stay focused and we can't let them get in our heads. That's when everything goes bad."
Junior Madison, at 6-feet-2, 152 pounds, is a dual-threat quarterback.
In the game against Texarkana, Madison ran for one touchdown and threw for three. He was actually called a "one-man" show by one sports columnist. Madison, though, isn't letting his ego take over.
"You got to stay humble," Madison said. "I have one goal: To go to state."
Moody has repeatedly said Madison is the glue to the team as a cool, calm and collected quarterback. He compares him to Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Madison said he has just always been laid back.
"It's a trait I've always had," Madison said. "I've always been a leader ever since I was a little kid. In football, you got to keep your head on and never look back at the last play. Go forward."
Madison wants to attend college in Oregon and later go pro, he said.
Senior linebacker and defensive end K.J. Sims has a plan for tonight -- execute and show no emotion.
"You have to practice showing no emotion," Sims, who has been playing football since he was 6 years old, said. "It doesn't just happen. Prepare for it and execute it."
Like Madison, Sims, who wants to become a coach, will be focused on the next play, not the previous one.
"It's the only way to win," he said.
Sims and Madison may have found it hard to sleep because of the adrenaline rushing through them before their first conference game.
"Tonight I'm going home, watch film and study my scouting report," Madison said Thursday. "I'm ready."
