Chief Justice John Roberts defends legitimacy of court
DENVER (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts defended the authority of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, saying its role should not be called into question just because people disagree with its decisions.
When asked to reflect on the last year at the court in his first public appearance since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Roberts said Friday he was concerned that lately some critics of the court’s controversial decisions have questioned the legitimacy of the court, which he said was a mistake. He did not mention any specific cases or critics by name.
“If the court doesn’t retain its legitimate function of interpreting the constitution, I’m not sure who would take up that mantle. You don’t want the political branches telling you what the law is, and you don’t want public opinion to be the guide about what the appropriate decision is,” Roberts said while being interviewed by two judges from the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at its conference in Colorado Springs.
Roberts described the last year as an unusual and difficult one, pointing to the public not be allowed inside the court, closed in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, as one hardship. He also said it was “gut wrenching” to drive into the Supreme Court that was surrounded by barricades every day.
The barriers were installed in May when protests erupted outside the court and outside the homes of some Supreme Court justices after there was an unprecedented leak of a draft opinion indicating the justices were planning to overturn Roe v. Wade, which provided women constitutional protections for abortion for nearly 50 years. The barriers are gone and the public will be allowed back inside when the court’s new session begins in October but an investigation ordered by Roberts into the leak continues.
Speaking at the same conference Thursday, Justice Neil Gorsuch said it is “terribly important” to identify the leaker and said he is expecting a report on the progress of the investigation, “I hope soon.”
Gorsuch condemned the leak, as have other justices who have addressed it publicly.
“Improper efforts to influence judicial decision-making, from whatever side, from whomever, are a threat to the judicial decision-making process,” Gorsuch said. Reporters from The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg attended the talk.
The leaked draft was largely incorporated into Justice Samuel Alito’s final opinion in June that overturned Roe v. Wade in a case upholding Mississippi’s law banning abortion after 15 weeks. The ruling paved the way for severe abortion restrictions or bans in nearly half of U.S. states.
In June’s ruling, Roberts, appointed to the court in 2005 by former President George W. Bush, voted to uphold Mississippi’s law but he did not join the conservative justices in also overturning Roe v. Wade, as well as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to end a pregnancy. He wrote that there was no need to overturn the broad precedents to uphold the state law, saying he would take “a more measured course.”
Roberts has spoken out repeatedly about the importance of the judiciary’s independence and to rebut perceptions of the court as a political institution not much different than Congress or the presidency.
Opinion polls since the leak and the release of the final abortion decision, though, have shown a sharp drop in approval of the court and confidence in the institution.
When asked what the public might not know about how the court work, Roberts emphasized the collegiality among the justices and the court’s tradition of shaking hands before starting conferences or taking the bench. After the justices might disagree about a decision, everyone eats together in the court’s dining room where they talk about everything but work, he said. He said it’s not borne out of “fake affection” but a respect that comes from the push and pull of explaining ideas and listening to the responses to them.
“We have a common calling and we act like it,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department and Donald Trump’s legal team each proposed candidates Friday for the role of an independent arbiter in the investigation into top-secret documents found at the former president’s Florida home, but the two sides differed on the scope of duties the person would have.
Lawyers for Trump said they believe the so-called special master should review all documents seized by the FBI during its search last month of Mar-a-Lago, including records with classification markings, and filter out any that may be protected by claims of executive privilege.
The Justice Department, by contrast, said it does not believe the arbiter should be permitted to inspect classified records or resolve potential claims of executive privilege.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had given both sides until Friday to submit potential candidates for the role of a special master, as well as proposals for the scope of the person’s duties and the schedule for his or her work.
The Justice Department submitted the names of two retired judges — Barbara Jones, who served on the federal bench in Manhattan and has performed the same role in prior high-profile investigations, and Thomas Griffith, a former federal appeals court jurist in the District of Columbia.
The Trump team proposed one retired judge, Raymond Dearie — also the former top federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York — and a prominent Florida lawyer, Paul Huck, Jr.
The back-and-forth over the special master is playing out amid an FBI investigation into the retention of several hundred classified documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago within the past year. Though the legal wrangling is unlikely to have major long-term effects on the investigation or knock it significantly off course, it will almost certainly delay the probe by potentially months and has already caused the intelligence community to temporarily pause a separate risk assessment.
The Justice Department proposed an Oct. 17 deadline for the special master to complete the review process, while the Trump team said the work could take as long as three months.
Though both sides met Cannon’s deadline to provide potential candidates, their filings made clear that they have core disagreements about the job of special master. That’s not surprising given that the Justice Department had strenuously objected to the Trump team’s desire for such an arbiter, and gave notice Thursday that it would appeal the judge’s decision to grant the ex-president’s request.
Central to the dispute is precisely what documents the yet-to-be-named special master should be tasked with reviewing. Roughly 11,000 documents — including more than 100 with classified markings, some at the top-secret level — were recovered during the FBI’s Aug. 8 search. In granting the request for a special master, Cannon directed the department to temporarily pause its use of the seized records for investigative purposes.
The Justice Department had said a special master was unnecessary in part because it had already completed its own review of the seized documents, locating a limited subset that possibly involve attorney-client privilege. It has maintained that executive privilege does not apply in this investigation because Trump, no longer president, had no right to claim the documents as his.
Though the government does not believe the special master should inspect documents with classification markings, the Trump team maintains the arbiter should have access to the entire tranche of seized records. According to a summary of its position outlined in a filing Friday night, it disputes the idea that the Justice Department’s “separation of these documents is inviolable” or that a document with classification markings should be forever regarded as classified.
And, the lawyers say, if any document is a presidential document then Trump has an “absolute right of access to it.”
“Thus, President Trump (and/or his designee) cannot be denied access to those documents, which in this matter gives legal authorization to the Special Master to engage in first-hand review,” the filing states.
Executive privilege generally refers to a president’s power to shield information from the courts and public so as to ensure the confidentiality of presidential decision-making, though there are limits.
A separate dispute concerns the special master’s fees and expenses. The Trump team has suggested splitting the costs evenly with the Justice Department. The government says the Trump team should bear the cost.
The two sides are also at odds over candidates, though three of the four are retired judges.
Jones, a former Manhattan federal judge and one of the government’s picks, recently served as special master in two other high-profile cases related to Trump. She reviewed materials seized in FBI raids on Trump’s one-time personal lawyers Michael Cohen, in an investigation related to hush-money payments, and Rudy Giuliani, in a probe of his dealings in Ukraine.
Griffith, the other Justice Department selection, was named to the federal appeals court in Washington in 2005 by then-president George W. Bush, and previously represented the institutional interests of the Republican-led Senate during the impeachment case of former President Bill Clinton.
The Trump team recommended Dearie, who was nominated in 1986 by then-President Ronald Reagan to the federal court based in Brooklyn. He has also served on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
The other Trump pick, Huck, served as general counsel to Charlie Crist when Crist was the Republican governor of Florida. He is married to Barbara Lagoa, a judge on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which would hear any appeal in the Trump case from Florida. He is listed on the Federalist Society website as a contributor to the conservative legal group.
The Justice Department on Thursday filed a notice of appeal indicating it would contest the judge’s special master order to the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit. It asked her to lift her hold on their investigative work pending their appeal.
The department has been investigating the unlawful retention of top-secret records at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House, as well as whether anyone sought to obstruct that probe. It is not clear if Trump or anyone else will be charged.

Nyck de Vries will make his F1 debut at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend as Williams call up their reserve driver to fill in for Alex Albon.
Albon is in hospital with appendicitis, meaning he is out of the weekend’s race meeting at Monza.
In a statement, Williams said: “Williams Racing can confirm that, after feeling unwell this morning and seeking medical advice from the FIA and local hospital, Alex Albon is now undergoing treatment for appendicitis.
“Following on from this, we can confirm that the team’s Reserve Driver Nyck de Vries will drive in place of Alex for the remainder of the Italian Grand Prix weekend. Alex is in good spirits and the team wishes him a speedy recovery.
De Vries has not raced in F1 before but is a Formula 2 champion and won the Formula E Drivers’ Championship last year with Mercedes.
The Dutchman, 27, had an eventful practice session on Saturday, skidding into the gravel at Turn 7 as he battled to get to grips with the car.
Albon, meanwhile, tweeted from hospital, saying: “Appendicitis, surgery and no racing isn’t what I was expecting this weekend.”
F1 qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix gets underway at 3pm on Saturday.

Raphinha reveals he turned down Chelsea after Brazil team-mate Neymar told him he 'won't regret' joining Barcelona… with the ex-Leeds forward admitting he couldn't turn down 'dream’ move to the Nou Camp
- Raphinha, 25, reveals he spoke to Neymar before joining Barcelona this summer
- The tricky winger joined Barca for £56million after turning down a Chelsea move
- The ex-Leeds man's father was a friend of Ronaldinho, who Raphinha idolised
Barcelona's summer signing Raphinha has opened up on the reason behind his move to the Catalan giants.
The Brazilian forward had no shortage of options, after another strong season at Leeds, but revealed that a conversation with his compatriot Neymar led him to choose Barca over Premier League giants Chelsea.
Raphinha had been one of Chelsea's primary transfer targets in a summer that saw them splash a league-record spend of more than £270million, but the former Leeds winger instead moved to the Nou Camp in a £56m switch.
Raphinha (right) spoke with Brazil team-mate Neymar before deciding to join Barcelona
The 25-year-old explained how Neymar's words helped him make the decision, but also suggested the move was a foregone conclusion in his mind due to his own love for the club.
Raphinha has a goal and an assist since his £56million switch
Raphinha explained: 'I talked to Neymar about a move and he told me that if I get to Barcelona then I won’t regret and he was right.
'I rejected Chelsea because my dream was to wear the Barcelona shirt.'
And he also admitted he was shocked by the positive reception he was given by the Blaugrana fans, saying: 'What surprised me in the club? Without a doubt the warm welcome of the fans, the coaching staff and the players, everyone is good and looking to help the new players.'
Although Raphinha only joined Barca this summer, he actually has quite a long-standing affiliation with the club due to a surprise relative.
When Raphinha was a child, his father, Rafael, was reportedly part of a band named Samba Tri in Porto Alegre in Brazil, the hometown of one of the football-crazy nation's greatest exports - Ronaldinho, who befriended Rafael.
The 25-year-old revealed he rejected Chelsea as it was his dream to play for the Nou Camp side
As a result of the pair's friendship, Raphinha reportedly began accompanying his dad to barbecues at Ronaldinho's house in Porto Alegre during the off-season, and formed a strong bond with his father's friend, who naturally became a role model.
So although Chelsea fans will undoubtedly feel aggrieved at the snub, it is perhaps more understandable why a young Brazilian would choose the club represented by not one, but two of his nation's greatest ever players.
And it would seem that the player is a good fit for Xavi's Barcelona, having scored and assisted once each in his four games so far at the club.

LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II has been depicted on British banknotes and coins for decades. Her portrait also has been featured on currencies in dozens of other places around the world, in a reminder of the British empire's colonial reach.
So what happens next after her death this week? It will take time for the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries to swap out the monarchs on their money.
But that doesn't mean the bills don't work — they do.
Here's a look at what is next for the paper cash featuring the late queen:
SWITCHING MONARCHS
The queen’s portrait on British notes and coins is expected to be replaced by a likeness of the new King Charles III, but it won’t be immediate.
“Current banknotes featuring the image of Her Majesty The Queen will continue to be legal tender,” the Bank of England said. An announcement on existing paper money issued by the U.K.’s central bank will be made after the official 10-day mourning period has ended, it said.
The Royal Mint, which is the official maker of British coins, said all coins with her portrait “remain legal tender and in circulation,” with more information to come later.
“As we respect this period of respectful mourning, we continue to strike coins as usual,” the Royal Mint said on its website.
With 4.7 billion U.K. banknotes worth 82 billion pounds ($95 billion) in circulation and about 29 billion coins, British money bearing the queen’s image will likely be in circulation for years.
“Rather than all of the current coins and notes being handed in, the process will be a gradual one and many of the coins featuring portraits of Queen Elizabeth II will remain in circulation for many years to come,” according to Coin Expert, a British coin research website.
After Charles takes the crown at his coronation, a new portrait will need to be taken to use on redesigned notes and coins, the website said.
Coins featuring him will show him facing to the left, replacing the queen’s rightward gaze in line with tradition dating to the 17th century. It dictates monarchs be shown in profile and in opposite direction to their predecessors.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES?
Other nations' currencies that feature the queen — from Australian, Canadian and Belizean dollars — also will be updated with the new monarch, but the process could take longer, because “it is much easier to enforce a new design in the country where it originates, rather than in other countries where different jurisdiction may take place,” the Coin Expert website said.
The Bank of Canada said its current $20 banknote, made of synthetic polymer, is designed “to circulate for years to come.”
“There is no legislative requirement to change the design within a prescribed period when the Monarch changes,” the Bank of Canada said.
In general, when a new portrait subject is chosen for Canadian money, the process begins with drawing up a fresh design, and a new note is ready to be issued “a few years later,” the bank said.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand said it will issue all of its stock of coins depicting the queen before new ones go out with Charles' image. The queen also is featured on the $20 bill, which is made “infrequently" and there is no “plan to destroy stock or shorten the life of existing banknotes just because they show the Queen," the bank said.
“It will be several years before we need to introduce coins featuring King Charles the Third, and longer until stocks of $20 notes are exhausted," it added.
THE QUEEN'S CURRENCY
She first appeared on money when she was still a princess. That was in 1935, when Canada's $20 bill featured 8-year-old Princess Elizabeth, whose grandfather King George V was then the monarch, as part of a new series of notes.
Canadian $20 bills were updated with a new portrait of the queen in 1954, a year after her coronation, and her portrait also started appearing on other currencies around the world, mainly British colonies and Commonwealth countries.
British bills didn't get her image until 1960 — seven years after her coronation. That's when the Bank of England was granted permission to use her likeness on paper money, starting with the 1-pound note, though the formal and regal image was criticized for being too severe and unrealistic.
She became the first monarch to be depicted on British banknotes. British coins, meanwhile, have featured kings and queens for more than 1,000 years.
CURRENCIES OUTSIDE THE U.K.
At one time, Queen Elizabeth II appeared on at least 33 different currencies, more than any other monarch, an achievement noted by Guinness World Records.
Her image is still featured on money in places where she remains a beloved figure, such as Canada, and continue to incorporate the Union Jack into their flags, like Australia and New Zealand.
She's also found on notes and coins issued by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the monetary authority for a group of small nations including Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Other places have long stopped putting her face on their currency. After Jamaica gained independence from Britain in 1962, its central bank replaced the queen on paper notes with portraits of national heroes such as Marcus Garvey.
Notes in the Seychelles now feature local wildlife instead of the queen. Bermuda did a similar revamp, though the queen retains a minor position on bills. Trinidad and Tobago swapped in a coat of arms after it became a republic.
Hong Kong dollars issued after Britain handed its colony back to Beijing in 1997 feature Chinese dragons and skyscrapers on the Asian financial center's skyline.

Suzanne Deal Booth is not your ordinary art collector, and her new wine project, Bella Oaks, is not your typical Napa Cab. Booth is an art preservationist, a curator at heart, and she has devoted most of her life to making art more accessible to everyone, as well as supporting artists in accomplishing their work. She’s the founder of the Friends of Heritage Preservation (FOHP), which has contributed to more than 80 preservation and conservation projects in 18 countries, and she has endowed two annual awards: the Suzanne Deal Booth Rome Prize for Historic Preservation and Conservation at the American Academy in Rome, and the Suzanne Deal Booth / FLAG Art Foundation Prize at the Contemporary Austin. In sum, she arrived in Napa with a deep aesthetic commitments, which continue to expand as the wine project evolves.
In 2010, in an intuitive leap of faith, Booth bought the storied old Rutherford vineyard owned by Belle and Barney Rhodes, whose vines had supplied grapes to Heitz Cellars from 1976-2007. Deal sold fruit to Staglin Family Vineyard from 2010-2016, when she decided that Bella Oaks should have its own label. She chose Nigel Kinsman, former winemaker for Araujo, whose own label, Kinsman Eades, makes knockout wines, to craft the property’s own interpretation of these grapes.
I first tasted the wine one day when Booth wasn’t in town, and though I’d wanted to meet her, I was kind of glad I could faun over the wine without seeming disingenuous in front of the owner. You see, I’m not a devotee of California Cab, in general, the way so many wine collectors are. I visit often, I taste a lot, and I often end up preferring other grapes from other regions — Willamette and Anderson Valley Pinots, Italian Nebbiolos — but Bella Oaks won me over before the wine even hit my palate. The aroma of the inaugural 2018 vintage is nuanced, floral, vertically ascendant (meaning lyrically deep), and balanced, something that the genre is not particularly well-known for. I said to my host, “Are you sure this is a Cab?” She laughed, and I sensed she’d gotten similar responses before, as this is a categorically different approach to Cab-making in the Napa Valley, and word is getting around. In the mouth, the lush berry-driven fruit is given ballast by a subtle maquis-like note — imagine circumnavigating Sardinia in the summer with your windows downs — and the spice impulses, for me, are tied to the florals (freesia, perhaps?), while the mouthfeel has a levity I rarely find in Cabernet, inviting but not imposing.
At this point, I hadn’t really even inquired into the art, two pieces of which I had driven by as I entered: Bosco Sodi’s “Untitled” clay cubes designed to change in their environment over time and another untitled sculpture by Joel Shapiro in bronze painted red. But I was tasting the wine adjacent to the vineyard, where I had just walked past the spectacular “Le Génie de la Bastille,” by Max Ernst, and it occurred to me that there was a synergy here, an aesthetic throughline, if you will, that connected the wine in the bottle with the art on the land, a paradox having to do with the simultaneity of gravitas and grace.
A few months later when I met Booth, I was eager to ask her about why she chose the pieces she did for Bella Oaks. She is a grand presence in any room, quietly commanding one’s attention, and the first thing she said to me was, “Have you seen the labyrinth?” Of course, this place of magical vibes would have need of one. She had commissioned landscape architect Andrea Cochran to design a labyrinth after the Chartres Cathedral, made of various stones from some of her favorite places, including Dublin, Boston and Utah. It’s a satisfying space where one can realign, tune in to what’s important.
The piece that ended up being the central focus of conversation is Yayoi Kusama’s “Where the Lights in My Heart Go,” a mirror-polished stainless steel and aluminum cube with an Infinity Mirror Room punctuated with holes to allow light in. Kusama, best known for her pop art, turned to this style of work as an antidote to the detachment of depersonalization, a mental health disorder she suffered that her art brought awareness to.
And on this visit, I was able to taste the just-bottled 2019 Bella Oaks, which will be released on September 13th for $295 a bottle — get on the list here.
Booth has recently acquired the nearby Swanson winery and tasting room and will eventually have a facility that allows Bella Oaks to have complete control over every aspect of farming and winemaking. For now, you can taste (by appointment) at Wheeler Farms down the road, then head over to Bella Oaks for the art tour, which is not to be missed.
There’s no doubt that Bella Oaks will be a must-have wine for the new guard of Napa collectors eager to see what this region can do when a a bit of restraint is employed. I sense that this wine is a view into Napa’s future, and I hope I’m right.

Afghan girls protest school closure in eastern city
Issued on: Modified:
Kabul (AFP) – Dozens of girls protested in an eastern Afghan city on Saturday after Taliban authorities shut their secondary schools just days after classes resumed, an activist and residents said.
Last week, five government secondary schools in the eastern province of Paktia restarted classes after hundreds of girls and tribal leaders demanded they reopen.
But when students in provincial capital Gardez went for classes on Saturday, they were told to return home, a women's rights activist and residents said.
"This morning when they did not allow the girls to enter schools, we held a protest," said activist Yasmin, an organiser of the rally.
Dressed in their school uniforms -- a white headscarf and black shalwar kameez -- the girls marched through the centre of Gardez to protest the closure.
Four of the newly reopened schools are in Gardez and one in Samkani.
The Taliban have imposed harsh restrictions on girls and women to comply with their austere vision of Islam since returning to power in August last year -- effectively squeezing them out of public life.
In March, they shuttered all girls' secondary schools hours after reopening them for the first time under their rule.
Images posted on social media Saturday showed the girls marching through the city centre as residents and shopkeepers watched.
"The Taliban did not allow anyone to take footage of the protest. In fact, they broke some protesters' mobile phones," Yasmin told AFP by telephone.
Two residents from the city also confirmed the protest, which journalists were not allowed to cover.
"The students protested peacefully, but soon the rally was dispersed by security forces," one Gardez resident who asked not to be named told AFP.
Officials maintain the ban is just a "technical issue" and classes will resume once a curriculum based on Islamic rules is defined.
A few public schools continue to operate in parts of the country following pressure from local leaders and families.
They remain shut in most provinces, however, including the capital Kabul as well as Kandahar, the de facto power centre of the Taliban.
Around three million girls are currently banned from getting secondary education in Afghanistan, according to UNICEF.

At US$135, Is It Time To Put Novanta Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVT) On Your Watch List?
Novanta Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVT), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s examine Novanta’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.
Is Novanta Still Cheap?
According to my valuation model, Novanta seems to be fairly priced at around 19.26% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Novanta today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $113.01, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Novanta’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
What kind of growth will Novanta generate?
Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. Novanta's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 53%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in NOVT’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on NOVT, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
If you'd like to know more about Novanta as a business, it's important to be aware of any risks it's facing. In terms of investment risks, we've identified 1 warning sign with Novanta, and understanding it should be part of your investment process.

Robinson five-for puts England on top at The Oval
LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Seamer Ollie Robinson took 5-49 as England skittled South Africa for 118 inside 37 overs in their first innings on day three of the third and final test at The Oval on Saturday.
South Africa had been put in to bat by the home side on Thursday morning, but no play was possible on day one due to rain, while the second day was cancelled as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
The test is now limited to three days with the series poised at 1-1, but England have given themselves a chance of victory, with Stuart Broad also impressing with 4-41 in a dominant bowling performance from the home side.
All-rounder Marco Jansen top scored for the tourists with 30 before he became Robinson´s fifth wicket, caught at first slip by Joe Root. (Reporting by Nick Said; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

NEW YORK — You’d have thought it was a movie premiere, with the hoopla converging outside midtown Manhattan’s Hammerstein Ballroom. But inside, despite the celebrity presence, the real star was a handbag.
But why New York, when Fendi usually shows in Italy? The bag had early success and pop-culture resonance in New York, most memorably immortalized in a 2000 episode of “Sex and the City,” when a mugger had the temerity to try to take one from Carrie Bradshaw when he apparently didn’t know what it was called.
“Gimme your bag,” the thug in the alley demanded. “It’s a baguette!” Carrie admonished him as he made off with her shiny purple version.
It’s safe to say everyone knew their bags from their baguettes on Friday night, when about 600 people packed into the ballroom — some on the main floor and others in high balcony seating — to celebrate the bag and its many iterations over the years.
The evening marked a three-way collaboration. Fendi women’s designer Kim Jones had brought in his friend and onetime boss, Marc Jacobs — the quintessential New York designer — to lend his distinctive romantic streetwear vibe to a series of 10 or so ensembles starring, of course, the baguette. (”I am never one to shy away from an iconic bag,” Jacobs was quoted as saying in a theater-style program.) And jeweler Tiffany & Co. presented its own baguettes in signature robin’s-egg blue.
In the front row sat Kim Kardashian, in blonde locks and a figure-hugging sheer and sequined dress, but the baguettes were the focus on the runway. There were big baguettes, small baguettes, nano-sized baguettes. Shiny baguettes, fluffy baguettes, sparkly and smooth baguettes.
There were fanny-pack baguettes, and sometimes double baguettes — two sizes stacked together. Pockets were reimagined as baguettes. There were tiny baguettes in satin fashioned onto tube socks — a perfect place to put little gadgets — or if you wanted them closer to your head, attached to a satin baseball cap. The vibe was a mix of fancy and casual, of sequins and sweatshirts.
As the show began, a huge drape on the wall dropped to the ground to reveal a giant mirror, suddenly allowing the entire room, balconies and all, to see itself. The models snaked along the floor, but when they were done, the mirror suddenly disappeared and the models were standing in a huge display case, as if at a store.
Linda Evangelista, in a huge Tiffany blue cape and gown, came out with the designers for a final bow. They applauded her, in what was a very public moment for the ’90s supermodel, now 57, after her recent ordeal with what she has described as a disastrous body-sculpting procedure that left her disfigured.

AUBURN, Ala., Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Auburn University has launched its 2022 public service announcement, or PSA, spotlighting how it is advancing student success through experiential learning.
The PSA, titled "How we do it," was unveiled on Auburn's social media feeds and its PSA website—www.auburn.edu/howwedoit. The NCAA commercial focuses on how the Auburn Family teaches, learns and lives, with students experiencing real-world applications through hands-on work in the fields of their desired profession as well as through outreach and research opportunities.
"As our PSA states, what makes Auburn so special is hard to put into words," said John Morris, Auburn's senior vice president for Advancement. "You just have to experience it, and our students do just that—through sports broadcasts to investment labs, forestry work, design studios and even partnerships that reach the stretches of outer space. Our students are learning the lessons that lead to success and the betterment of our community and beyond."
Among the highlights of the PSA is Auburn's War Eagle Productions program—through which journalism students gain professional training in live sports production. The commercial also features Auburn's motion-base virtual reality flight simulators, as well as a partnership between Auburn's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering and Boeing that allows undergraduate students hands-on, real-world design experience on groundbreaking aerospace projects involving NASA and the U.S. Air Force. In the way of research, the PSA spotlights the College of Veterinary Medicine's recent awarding of a $24 million contract by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate to advance detection canine sciences and enhance operational threat detection capabilities.
Similarly, the PSA's website notes several other student experiential learning opportunities, including a summer practicum through Auburn's College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment; a student-run free clinic in Mobile affiliated with the Harrison College of Pharmacy and the University of South Alabama; the new Tony and Libba Rane Culinary Science Center that opened this fall as the home for the College of Human Sciences' School of Hospitality Management; collaboration opportunities in Auburn's Radio-Frequency Identification Lab; the Harbert College of Business' Integrated Financial Leadership Program; and the College of Architecture, Design and Construction's Futures Studio in Mobile.
For more information about the many ways in which Auburn is leading student success and what makes the Auburn experience so special, visit auburn.edu.
Auburn University is a nationally ranked land grant institution recognized for its commitment to world-class scholarship, interdisciplinary research with an elite, top-tier Carnegie R1 classification, life-changing outreach with Carnegie's Community Engagement designation and an undergraduate education experience second to none.

Charles III proclaimed king at tradition-steeped ceremony
LONDON (AP) — King Charles III has been officially announced as Britain’s monarch in a ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live. Senior politicians and officials gathered at St. James’s Palace in London for Saturday's accession ceremony. It’s the first time the ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne. Charles automatically became king when the queen died on Thursday. The king vowed to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on the duties of monarch, before a royal official proclaimed him king from a palace balcony. Later, new Prime Minister Liz Truss and other lawmakers lined up in the House of Commons to take an oath of loyalty to the new king.
'Thank you, ma'am': A singular queen, mourned by her people
People are also reading…
LONDON (AP) — Mourners streamed to the gates of Buckingham Palace in London to mourn a queen they lost this week after she spent 70 years on the throne. But beyond its size, the pilgrimage was remarkable for what it underscored — the many roles that visitors said the monarch occupied in the lives of those she could never know. Flowers, notes and tributes dotted the landscape around the palace on the day that Queen Elizabeth's son, Charles, first addressed the nation as king. And those who brought the memorials in miniature each told a different story about their relationship with their queen. They called her a role model, a dutiful leader and — in recent years — a national grandmother.
Russia “taken by surprise” as Ukraine advances in the east
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Western defense officials and analysts say Ukrainian forces have punched through Russian front lines south of the country’s second-largest city, taking thousands of square miles of territory and threatening to cut off Russian supply lines. The British Defense Ministry says it believes the Ukrainians have advanced as much as 30 miles south of Kharkiv, northeastern Ukraine. The advance appears to be around Izyum, long a focus on the Russian front line and the site of heavy artillery and other fighting. The British describe Russian forces around Izyum as “increasingly isolated.” A Washington-based think tank also noted sweeping Ukrainian gains on Saturday, estimating that Kyiv has seized around 965 square miles in its northeastern breakthrough.
Debating over debates: Campaign tradition faces skepticism
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — With the fall campaign rapidly approaching, the time-honored tradition of debates as a forum for voters to evaluate candidates may be the latest casualty of the nation’s polarized political climate. For some Republicans, eschewing debates is a chance to sidestep a media structure some in the party deride as biased and align with Donald Trump, who has blasted presidential debates. Some Democrats have pointed to raucous GOP debates from the primary season as a reason to avoid tangling with their opponents. Veteran political consultant Terry Sullivan defends debates as “the one forum where candidates are forced into answering questions that they don’t want to answer.”
Not Mar-a-Lago: Congress' secrets in sealed rooms, lock bags
WASHINGTON (AP) — Security-sealed rooms and lock bags are some of the ways Capitol Hill keeps classified documents secured. It's an elaborate system of government protocols and high-level security clearances. And it stands in stark contrast to the storage room stash of secrets at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. As the Justice Department’s probe into the Republican former president’s handling of White House materials deepens, lawmakers of both parties have more questions than answers. The search of Trump's private club is unprecedented for a former president. Intelligence officials have offered to brief congressional leaders possibly as soon as next week. But that could be delayed.
Manchin's big energy deal draws pushback from many Dems
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Joe Manchin made a deal with Democratic leaders as part of his vote pushing the party's highest legislative priority across the finish line last month. Now, Manchin is ready to collect. But many environmental advocacy groups and lawmakers are balking. The groups are asking party leaders to keep legislation to expedite environmental reviews for energy projects out of a stopgap spending bill to keep the government running at the end of September. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he will combine the two efforts anyway. The divide could test the ability of party leaders to keep enough Democrats in line to avoid a partial government shutdown before the midterms.
Day of terror in Memphis leaves family and friends bereft
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A day of terror that left four dead and three wounded in a Tennessee city this week tore a hole in the hearts of those left behind. They include the grandmother of three children who were left without parents, a man who lay down beside his fallen best friend and refused to leave, and a daughter whose wounded father is her “whole world.” Police have so far released few details of the rampage that sent Memphis into lockdown as a shooter drove around town for hours, opening fire on people and streaming some of the attacks on social media. Police arrested 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly on Wednesday night when he surrendered after a car chase and charged him with first-degree murder.
In Indiana, a shifting abortion landscape without clinics
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Hospitals and abortion clinics in Indiana are preparing for the state's abortion ban to go into effect on Sept. 15. Indiana's Legislature became the first in the nation to approve new abortion restrictions after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb quickly signed the ban into law Aug. 5. Starting Sept. 15, abortion clinics will be prohibited from providing any abortion care, leaving such services solely to hospitals or outpatient surgical centers owned by hospitals.
Queen Elizabeth is featured on several currencies. Now what?
LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II has been depicted on British banknotes and coins for decades. Her portrait also has been featured on currencies in dozens of other places around the world, in a reminder of the vast extent of the British empire’s colonial reach. So what happens next after her death this week? It will take time for the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other countries to swap out the monarchs on their money. Experts say that after King Charles III takes the crown at his coronation, a new portrait will need to be taken to use on redesigned notes and coins.
The Tiafoe Effect: US tennis star has big impact in Africa
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — Sam Jalloh zig-zagged across West Africa last year coaching tennis to kids. He took with him rackets, balls and a cellphone loaded with photos and videos of a pro player to inspire the youngsters. That player was U.S. Open tennis star Frances Tiafoe. The move was to encourage more young Africans to get involved in the sport by showing them images of Tiafoe. He's an American with Sierra Leone heritage. Jalloh’s phone has pinged and pinged this week with text messages from many of the kids. They are delighted and inspired by the 24-year-old Tiafoe’s stirring run to the U.S. Open semifinals.

Hong Kong: Five jailed in for 'seditious' children's books
- Published
Five speech therapists in Hong Kong have been jailed for 19 months each after being found guilty of publishing "seditious" children's books.
Authorities interpreted the books - about sheep trying to hold back wolves from their village - as referring to Hong Kong and the Beijing government.
The authors argued the books chronicled "history from the people's perspective".
But a government-picked judge concluded they were "a brainwashing exercise".
The sentencing comes amid a crackdown on civil liberties since 2020, when China imposed a new national security law.
Beijing said the law was needed to bring stability to the city - but critics said it was designed to squash dissent, and weaken Hong Kong's autonomy.
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China, and has a "one country, two systems" principle, which is designed to give the city certain freedoms.
The five speech therapists - Lai Man-ling, Melody Yeung, Sidney Ng, Samuel Chan and Fong Tsz-ho - have already spent more than a year in jail awaiting the verdict.
One of their lawyers said they could be released within a month, because of the time already served.
The group, who are aged between 25 and 28, produced cartoon e-books that some interpreted as trying to explain Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement to children.
In one of the three books, a village of sheep fight back against a group of wolves who are trying to take over their settlement.
On Saturday the five speech therapists maintained the books were meant to help children understand systemic injustice.
But Judge Kwok Wai-kin accused the speech therapists of "sowing the "seed of instability" in the city and across China.
They were charged under a colonial-era sedition law - which until recently had been rarely used by prosecutors - rather than the 2020 national security law.

ARLINGTON, Texas — You can't write movie scripts like this. OK, maybe you can ... but this is something you'd expect to only see in a Hollywood baseball film.
In the bottom of the third inning, trailing 3-0, Josh Jung stepped up to the plate for his first ever at bat in Major League Baseball (MLB). He led off the inning for the Texas Rangers, and on a 1-2 pitch, Jung went yard.
Jung crushed the pitch to left center field and just eclipsed the outfield wall. He hit a home run in his first career at bat in the MLB. The Bally Sports Southwest broadcast cut to his family and friends in the outfield, who were all (understandably) going absolutely bonkers.
RELATED: Texas Rangers release 2023 schedule
Watch it all unfold here:
“I don’t even think I was conscious running around the bases. Just put a good swing on it,” Jung said postgame. ‘’Looking in my lane, and if a pitch showed up there, I was swinging. But I didn’t want to be too timid.''
Bally Sports Southwest interviewed Jung's parents in the bottom of the fourth inning. Jung's mother told Bally she was ecstatic for her son. Jung's dad said the Rangers third baseman actually manifested his first home run as a kid.
Who is Josh Jung?
Josh Jung is a born and bred Texas kid. He was born in San Antonio and went to Douglas MacArthur High School in San Antonio. He graduated in 2016, went undrafted in the 2016 MLB Draft and attended Texas Tech University.
While in Lubbock, Jung played three seasons for the Red Raiders, where he was a unanimous All-America selection in his junior season.
In 2019, the Texas Rangers selected Jung with the No. 8 overall pick in the MLB Draft. Jung signed with the Rangers for a $4.4 million signing bonus in July 2019. On July 10, 2019, He made his professional debut for the Arizona League Rangers of the Rookie-level Arizona League, where he also hit a home run in his first at bat.
Five days later, he was called up to the Rangers' High-A affiliate, the Kickory Crawdads, where he hit .287/.363/.389/.752 with one home run and 23 RBIs over 40 games. Jung was called up to the Rangers' Double-A affiliate, the Frisco Roughriders in June of 2021, where he hit .308/.366/.544 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs over 43 games. In mid-August of 2021, Jung was called up once more to the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate, the Round Rock Express, where he hit .348/.436/.652 with nine home runs and 21 RBIs in 35 games in the 2021 season. Entering 2022, Jung underwent surgery for a torn labrum and returned to the Round Rock Express in August. Jung played 23 games for Round Rock in 2022 before getting the call up to the big leagues.
The Rangers brought up Jung on Sept. 9, and one day later, Jung made his mark in "The Show."
What a moment.

Documents to be discussed at upcoming CPC Central Committee plenary session deliberated
BEIJING, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee on Friday held a meeting to deliberate documents to be submitted for discussion at the seventh plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee.
The meeting, presided over by General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping, deliberated a draft report by the 19th CPC Central Committee to the 20th CPC National Congress, a draft amendment to the CPC Constitution, and a draft work report by the 19th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to the 20th CPC National Congress.
The meeting heard reports on the previous work to solicit opinions on the three draft documents and decided to revise the documents in the light of the opinions discussed at Friday's meeting, and then submit the documents to the seventh plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, which is to be convened on Oct. 9, for discussion.
The meeting demanded careful study and adoption of suggestions from various parties.
Wisdom should be pooled to draw up a 20th CPC National Congress report that responds to the common aspirations of the Party and the people of all ethnic groups, conforms to the requirements of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and adapts to the goals and tasks of the Party and the state on the journey ahead in the new era, read a statement issued after the meeting.
Meanwhile, the amendment to the CPC Constitution should adapt to the Party's innovative development in theory and practice as well as the need of advancing the great new project of Party building in the new era, it noted.
The meeting demanded a scientific perspective on the development trends of China and of the world as a whole, as well as a thorough review of the CPC's practice and experience of leading the people in advancing reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.
Efforts must be made to devise the strategic plans and arrangements for the cause of the Party and the country in accordance with new conditions, and open up new horizons for socialism with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core.
Appropriate amendments to the CPC Constitution under the new situation and tasks will help the whole Party better study, observe, implement, and safeguard the Constitution, as well as better advance the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the new project of Party building, the meeting noted.
The meeting stressed that it is necessary to incorporate in the Party Constitution the major theoretical viewpoints and strategic thoughts to be established in the 20th CPC National Congress report.
Thus, the amended Constitution would fully embody the latest achievements in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. It would also fully reflect the new ideas, thoughts, and strategies on national governance put forward by the CPC Central Committee since the 19th CPC National Congress. It would clarify the new requirements for upholding and strengthening Party leadership and promoting full and strict Party self-governance under the new situation.
The meeting noted that it is imperative to firmly uphold the CPC Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership. It is also vital to unswervingly exercise full and strict Party self-governance, advance the great new project of Party building in the new era, further improve Party conduct, uphold integrity, and fight corruption.
It was agreed at the meeting that the seventh plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would convene on Oct. 7.
Also reviewed at Friday's meeting were a report on the implementation of an eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct by the Political Bureau of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and a report on the work of rectifying the practice of pointless formalities and reducing burdens at the grassroots since the 19th CPC National Congress.
Since the 19th CPC National Congress in 2017, the Party's Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has amended and improved the rules for implementing the central Party leadership's eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct. As a result, some deep-rooted problems and misconduct left unaddressed for a long period have been solved, according to the meeting.
Pointless formalities and bureaucratism within the Party have been curbed to a certain extent, the meeting said.
The meeting stressed adhering to the central Party leadership's eight-point decision over the long term.
It urged efforts to improve the long-term mechanism designed to ease the burdens at the grassroots level and deliver more benefits to primary-level officials and the people.

Even though Sri Lanka had a stuttering start in the Asia Cup 2022 they haven’t looked back after the win against Bangladesh and their former team member Angelo Mathews attributes it completely to the efforts put in to the boys.
Talking about team Pakistan’s form in the tournament, former bowler Umar Gul said the top order players like Mohamed Rizwan, Shadab Khan and Mohammed Nawaz did their job really well and played a significant role in taking the team to the final.
Off field banter
These serious talks were followed by some off field banter with the stalwarts of Sri Lankan and Pakistan where each rooted for their teams.
The chat was incomplete without a discussing about Virat Kohli’s century which was well appreciated by both the players.

(Xinhua/Li Ying)
LONDON, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Britain's King Charles III on Friday pledged "lifelong service" in his first address to the nation and the Commonwealth after assuming the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday.
"Throughout her life, Her Majesty the Queen (...) was an inspiration," he said in his televised speech. "Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today."
He said he felt "profound sorrow" over the death of his mother and that he shared the public's "sense of loss beyond measure."
Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch in history, died at Balmoral, Scotland, on Thursday, aged 96.
Charles, 73, will be officially proclaimed King at the Accession Council on Saturday in a ceremony held at St. James's Palace in London.
Charles bestowed the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales on his eldest son William and daughter-in-law Kate -- titles that he and his late wife Diana previously held.
He also expressed love for his son Harry and daughter-in-law Meghan Markle as they "continue to build their lives overseas."

Prospering ports contribute strength to China's foreign trade sector

At this peak period of foreign trade, ports in China are kept very occupied. Satellite-navigated autopilot guiding vehicles are running between terminals and container yards, and gantry cranes automatically taking containers to preset destinations.
According to statistics released by the Ministry of Transport, Chinese ports handled 1.34 billion tons of cargos in July, up 5.7 percent year on year, and the country's container throughput rose 11.2 percent from a year ago to 26.36 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) during the same period.
The remarkable performance of the port industry mirrored the vitality and huge potential of the Chinese economy, especially when the country is facing an increasingly severe international situation, COVID-19 resurgences at home, and increasing downward economic pressure.

Over 90 percent of foreign trade in China is shipped by sea, and that's why the throughputs of ports are considered one of the important economic indicators.
Since this year, China's foreign trade has been impacted by exterior environment and COVID-19 resurgences. However, the country has vitalized market entities by deepening the reform of cross-border trade facilitation, continuously optimizing business environment at ports, and implementing a series of policies stabilizing foreign trade.
The rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, the emergence of overseas warehouses and other new business models, as well as the proactive measures taken by foreign trade enterprises have also gained strong development momentums for the foreign trade sector.
The sound operation data reported by ports fully indicated the strong resilience of the foreign trade sector of China.
Industrial and supply chains are a key factor affecting the development of ports. At present, navigation channels at major ports of China are under efficient and orderly operation, delivering stable and growing operational indexes. It to a large extent comes from the safe and smooth operation of industrial and supply chains.
Since this year, relevant departments have worked to ensure smooth freight and logistics, enhanced regional synergy and coordination and substituted road transportation with water and railway transportation, to make logistics arteries smoother. As a result, ports and terminals are running stably, offering solid logistics support for foreign trade and making positive contribution to the stability of global industrial and supply chains.

The sound performance of major Chinese ports also comes from their continuously improving services and infrastructure.
As of the end of 2021, China had 20,867 operative berths, including 2,659 berths capable of handling 10,000-ton ships or even larger. World-class port clusters have taken shape in the country's Yangtze River delta, Tianjin-Hebei region, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
So far, China has mastered key technologies for the construction and operation of automated container terminals, and currently owns the most automatic ports in the world both under construction and completed.
Relying on the large transport capacity, low cost, low pollution, small land occupation and other comparative advantages of water transportation, many ports have expanded their services to the lower and upper streams of the industrial chain and even other industries. Their proactive efforts to seek changes have improved their comprehensive service capability, and the extended industrial chain also boost the internal forces driving development and promoted the integrated development of ports, industries and cities.
Prospering ports lead to prospering trade. The high-quality development of water transport infrastructure, including ports, is of significant importance for ensuring the stability of industrial and supply chains, maintaining unimpeded domestic economic cycle and promoting the "dual circulation" development paradigm.
As China further optimizes trunk-branch connection, breaks bottlenecks of water transportation hubs and enhances the construction of sea-river joint passages, the country will see a better network of high-level waterways.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan bill championed by U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., to help bring more mobile health clinics and rural health centers to Georgia.
Following Sen. Ossoff’s successful work across the aisle, the U.S. Senate has passed the bipartisan Mobile Heath Act, which will bring more mobile health clinics and rural health centers to Georgia to help more families access medical and dental care.
“We have worked together as Democrats and Republicans to create more opportunities for Georgia families to access health care,” Ossoff said in a news release.
The bipartisan bill now heads to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Ossoff said he is working to continue to help more families in Georgia access vital health care, especially for communities with limited health care access.
Last month, Ossoff and and fellow Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock helped bring an additional $300 million to upgrade the Grady Health and Augusta University Health Systems, expanding health access for medically underserved families across Georgia.
In August, Ossoff also led a bipartisan push with Rep. Buddy Carter to combat staffing shortages in Georgia and bring more physicians, nurses and emergency medical personnel to the state.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said Saturday that it is pulling back forces from two areas in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region where a Ukrainian counter offensive has made significant advances in the past week.
Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said the troops would be regrouped from the Balakliya and Izyum areas to the Donetsk region. Izyum was a major base for Russian forces in the Kharkiv region.
Konashenkov said the move is being made “in order to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbas,’” one of the eastern Ukraine regions that Russia has declared sovereign.
The claim of pullback to concentrate on Donetsk is similiar to the justification Russia gave for pulling back its forces from the Kyiv region earlier this year.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — The Disney magic at a birthday party in West Hartford got a little too real last weekend after an unexpected visitor crashed the occasion.
Friends and family were celebrating Cyrus's 2nd birthday in the backyard with an inflatable slide, Mickey Mouse goodie bags, and, of course, food.
As "The Jungle Book's" iconic song "Bare Necessities" was playing in the background, an actual bear showed up, Rauf Majidian said in a Facebook post on Sunday.
Guests got away from the bear, escaping into the house.
From a house window, the bear could be seen at the picnic table where the kids were moments before, devouring the cupcakes on the two-tiered tower.
"[The bear] ate more than his portion of the cupcakes," Majidian said in his social media post.
Majidian caught that moment on camera.
"That's a big bear," someone yelled in the background.
"Luckily it was towards the end of the party and we all went away unharmed, but not without our fair share of yelling and escaping," Majidian added in the post.
This isn't the first bear encounter caught on camera in West Hartford this year. In August, a bear got into someone's garage, and nearly a week later was caught in the same house while rummaging through the refrigerator.
State environmental officials discourage people from feeding and approaching wild animals.

WEEK 3 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ROUNDUP: FPC builds big lead, beats Spruce Creek
Dennis Murray Jr. threw two first-quarter touchdown passes, and Flagler Palm Coast's defense forced three turnovers before halftime Friday to build a 21-point lead en route to a 35-14 win over host Spruce Creek.
Murray connected with Gerod Tolbert for a 70-yard strike less than a minute into the contest, one which pitted two of the Volusia-Flagler-St. Johns area's top-five teams head-to-head.

More:Tocoi Creek fumbles chance for 3-0 start, falls to Bishop Kenny
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL POWER RANKINGS:Tocoi Creek cracks poll for 1st time ever
Mikhail Zysek caught a 15-yard touchdown near the end of the opening period, and Marcus Mitchell capitalized on FPC's fumble recovery for an 8-yard TD run with 1:21 left in the half.
Spruce Creek (1-2) made a game of it in the second half with short touchdown runs by Luke Smith and Tony Kinsler. But, FPC (2-0) sealed the outcome with a pair of scores in the final four minutes — a touchdown catch for Ashton Bracewell, and a short run to the end zone for Landin Simmons.
FPC will have two games in quick succession, facing Matanzas next Friday and Mainland the following Monday. Spruce Creek will try to snap its two-game skid in Jacksonville with a difficult trip to Andrew Jackson.
Deltona 26, Matanzas 7
Deltona's offense generated most of the headlines through its first two games, but its other units starred in Friday's win at Matanzas.
Jude Santana returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and the Wolves held the host Pirates to 20 yards of total offense to improve to 3-0. Santana finished the night with three touchdowns, rushing for one and catching another as Deltona pulled away in the fourth quarter.
Cole Hash put the only points on the board for Matanzas (1-2) with a late pick-six.
Deltona faces Atlantic next week, while Matanzas prepares for the Potato Bowl with FPC.
Columbia 21, DeLand 16
Javon Ross and Demontay Johnson ran for touchdowns, but DeLand (1-2) could not hold off a desperate Columbia team in search of its first win of the fall.
Central Michigan commit Tyler Jefferson engineered a crucial 11-play, 53-yard scoring drive near the end of the third quarter, capped off by Tony Fulton's 1-yard, go-ahead touchdown run.
Jaden Robinson returned a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown and Tray Tolliver caught a 73-yard TD for the Tigers (1-2).
DeLand enters its bye week, and will travel to Seabreeze on Sept. 23.
University 28, Seabreeze 9
Jaay-R Cook pocketed a pair of picks, and rushed for two touchdowns to lead the Titans to their first victory of the season.
The Titans forced five Seabreeze turnovers. Jermaine Hayes added a receiving touchdown, and Rubens Joseph ran for another.
University will look to even its record when it travels to Pine Ridge next week. Seabreeze (0-3) enters the bye before DeLand makes its second journey to Daytona Stadium.
Fleming Island 19, Nease 14
Samuel Singleton rushed for two touchdowns and Fleming Island held off a fourth-quarter rally to down Nease (0-3).
Marcus Stokes ran for a TD for the Panthers in a battle of Super 11 recruits. The Panthers will continue their search for a first victory next week when they host Fletcher.
Cibastian Broughton broke away for a late score for Fleming Island (3-0).
Menendez 40, Pine Ridge 0
Christian Coleman had three rushing touchdowns and Zahki James added one, as the Falcons improved to 2-1 with a shutout of Pine Ridge (0-3).
QB Brooks Cornelison connected with Michael Boccio on a 30-yard score, and Boccio also caught a 45-yard TD pass from Bryce Petellat.
Noah Lawless intercepted a pass, and Joseph Holloman and Kani Harris added a safety. Menendez (2-1) gears up for St. Augustine in next week's rivalry matchup between Ancient City schools.
Atlantic 35, Father Lopez 12
John Killingsworth ran 25 times for 274 yards and four touchdowns as the Sharks entered the win column for the first time in 2022.
The Sharks (1-2) head to undefeated Deltona next week. Father Lopez gets a favorable matchup against Trinity Prep, an opponent the Green Wave defeated 28-0 in a half last season.
St. Joseph 8, Halifax 6
Brody Ealy ran for a game-tying 14-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Duke Ridley tacked on what proved to be a decisive two-point conversion as the host Flashes held off Halifax.
Jack Tittler broke up four passes, and Nathaniel Kes led the team in tackles on the night.
Both teams are back in action for Week 4; St. Joseph (1-2) faces Eagle's View, and Halifax (1-2) hosts Melbourne Central Catholic.
Cocoa Beach 49, Taylor 0
The Minutemen rolled in Pierson to a second consecutive win.
Alan Bailey scored the game's first three touchdowns, all on the ground. Logan Silvea completed scoring passes to Brennan Berk twice and to Aaron Garber.
Taylor (1-2), which dropped its second straight, welcomes Bell to town next week.
Beachside, Christ's Church postponed
Only one Friday game was unable to be completed.
Inclement weather spoiled the scheduled game between Beachside and Christ's Church. Those teams will instead meet at 7 p.m. Monday at the Providence School in Jacksonville.

The Chamarajanagar district in-charge minister V. Somanna directed the officials to clear lake and storm-water drain encroachments on a war footing to facilitate the free flow of water.
Reviewing the recent floods in Chamarajanagar district on Saturday, the minister said there has been unprecedented rains wreaking havoc on property and agricultural crops and bulk of the local floodings has taken place due to encroachment of the storm-water drains or rajakaluves. This entails repair of the canals or the drainage system and clearing the encroachments and the exercise should commence from ‘’tomorrow itself’’, said Mr. Somanna.
Directing the officials to constitute a task force and take the opinion and cooperation of local MLAs and elected representatives, the minister said the task force should also comprise Superintendent of Police and it should be overall in charge of lake development.
The repairs and clearing the encroachment should also entail removal of weeds and vegetation that was impeding the flow of water, Mr. Somanna added. The government will chip in with additional or necessary funds to take up the works and the irrigation department should not delay the works at any cost, said the minister. He also sought a comprehensive report on the extent of damage to bridges, roads, culverts etc. so as to take up the repair works and directed the officials to submit a rough estimate on a priority basis.
The officials were also directed to expedite the survey of the crop damage in the district and Mr. Somanna said that in case of people whose houses have been flooded, compensation should be promptly paid.
With respect to repair of school buildings, classrooms, anganwadi kendras etc., a grant of ₹7 crore would be released and some of the civic works including road repairs could be taken up under MGNREGA, according to Mr. Somanna. MLAs Mr. Puttarangashetty, R. Narendra, S. Mahesh, C.S. Niranjan Kumar, Deputy Commissioner Charulatha Somal, SP Mr. T.P. Shivakumar, ZP CEP K.M. Gayatri and others were also present.

TORONTO (AP) — When a young, bespectacled Al Yankovic picked up an accordion, few — especially Al, himself — would have predicted the long-running show-business career that would follow. But can you imagine if they did? That every step of Yankovic’s way — the first Hawaiian shirt, the epiphany of riffing on “My Sharona” as “My Bologna” — carried the same portentous sense of fate that rings through most music biopics?
It’s a funny enough idea that shortly before the raucous midnight Toronto International Film Festival premiere of “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” — a nutty, authorized biopic that takes that concept and has as much fun with it as possible — Yankovic was still riffing. He was sitting alongside Daniel Radcliffe, who enthusiastically plays Yankovic in the movie, at a Toronto bar stocked with on-theme cocktails like “Just Drink It.”
Like, what if, Yankovic imagines, “Weird” had that much-memed moment in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” where Tom Hanks’ Tom Parker hears Presley on the radio for the first time, dramatically swings around and exclaims “He’s white?!” — only it’s Weird Al he hears and instead responds, “He’s weird?!”
“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” written by Yankovic with director Eric Appel, does to Yankovic’s career pretty much what the 62-year-old comedian has been doing to pop songs for the last four decades. It distorts it through a funhouse mirror, turning Yankovic’s life into something that at its most absurd heights becomes its own parallel reality.
“I never would have believed this would happen early in my life, and maybe even a year ago,” says Yankovic. “That’s one of the reasons why the movie is funny because it shouldn’t exist. There are detractors that are saying: ‘Why is Weird Al getting a biopic when there are a thousand names that should have gotten one before him?’ Well, that’s kind of the point. It’s not that I deserve it. The fact that I don’t deserve it is why this exists.”
Some, including Radcliffe, would quibble with that. Yankovic long ago outlasted many of the musicians he’s parodied. He’s one of only five music acts to have a Top 40 hit in each of the last four decades. That ranks him among the likes of Madonna and Michael Jackson, who have, of course, each received the Weird Al treatment (“Like a Surgeon,” “Eat It”). The New York Times has called Yankovic “a completely ridiculous national treasure.”
“I can’t explain it,” shrugs Yankovic. “I guess it’s just sheer tenacity because I should have gone away decades ago.”
“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” which will be released Nov. 4 on Roku, is itself an unlikely movie that began as a gag. About a decade ago, Appel and Yankovic made a faux-trailer for a Yankovic biopic for Funny or Die. Yankovic would play it at his concerts and bat away questions from fans about when the movie would actually be released. But a string of music biopics — many of which played so elastically with the truth that Yankovic sensed they were ripe for parody — made the premise even more appealing. Appel and Yankovic worked on a script and reached out to Radcliffe.
“My first reaction on hearing the idea of me as Al was, ‘Wait, what?’” says Radcliffe. “As soon as I started reading it, I was like, ’Oh, there’s nothing else that Al’s biopic could have been but something that is inherently a parody of all musical biopics.”
There are a few bits of autobiographic truth in “Weird,” but the movie quickly, as Radcliffe says, “goes off the rails,” wildly overinflating Yankovic’s trajectory and many of his encounters. Madonna (played by Evan Rachel Wood), desperate for the honor of a Yankovic parody, initiates a love affair with him, for instance.
“The amount of people that have asked me about you and Madonna,” sighs Radcliffe.
Yankovic notes that a door-to-door accordion salesman really did come to his family’s house, as one does in the film. It’s less true that Yankovic’s father abhorred the instrument as “the devil’s squeezebox” and violently pummeled the salesman.
“That scene goes on for so long,” Radcliffe says, shaking his head.
For the 33-year-old Radcliffe, the movie is in line with other eccentric, experimental films like 2016’s “Swiss Army Man” that he’s been drawn to since playing Harry Potter. A self-described Yankovic fan who listens to his polkas while working out, Radcliffe and Yankovic found themselves in many ways simpatico.
“At some points in my life, I thought I needed to be stoic as an actor and stoic as a movie star,” says Radcliffe. “The success I’ve had since ‘Potter’ has been about whatever is weird about me, leaning into that. That’s the asset, actually, not to be avoided. And Al is like the model for that.”
Radcliffe describes the rapid 18-day shoot of “Weird” as “truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a set.” Ahead of production, he dove into learning the accordion.
“Nobody asked me to, by the way. It was entirely self-inflicted,” says Radcliffe. “I mean, if you’re playing Al, what else am I doing? You’ve got to make an honest attempt.”
“I can’t tell you what a joy it was to wake up in the morning and get video of Dan playing ‘My Bologna’ on the accordion,” Yankovic says, earnestly.
“My most common note was ‘Please pump more,’” adds Radcliffe.
Yankovic was in Toronto for only the evening with Colorado concerts the night before and the night after the premiere. He’s currently on “The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Ill-Advised Vanity Tour” which concludes this fall at Carnegie Hall. At his concerts, he now sees fans of his from the 1980s with their kids — “and in some cases, their grandkids – which is a little scary.”
The continued affection people have for Weird Al — a performer who represents roughly the diametric opposite of an image-conscious, out-of-reach pop star — seems to somehow still be expanding. At the “Weird” premiere in Toronto, Hawaiian shirts and curly wigs were out in force. On the last day of shooting, Radcliffe says, the whole cast and crew dressed up as Yankovic.
Reluctantly, Yankovic acknowledges there’s something, in fact, very real about Weird Al.
“My nickname ‘Weird Al’ has been empowering for a lot of people,” he says. “When I took on that name professionally it was a college DJ in the ’70s. It wasn’t calculated, obviously. I wasn’t thinking that I was going to be, like, a role model decades later. But a lot of people that feel like outcasts or freaks or outsiders or didn’t belong in some way would sometimes look to me and go, ‘Here’s a guy that’s owning his weirdness, and he’s comfortable with it.’”

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — Authorities charged a man with murder Friday in the killing of two sheriff’s deputies serving an arrest warrant on another person outside a suburban home near Atlanta.
Cobb County Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer told reporters at a news conference that the deputies were attempting to arrest a man wanted on theft charges in the driveway of his home Thursday night when another man inside confronted them with a gun.
A shootout ensued when the armed man refused commands to drop his weapon, VanHoozer said, and both deputies were fatally wounded. The shooting suspect and the man with the outstanding warrant were both arrested following a standoff with officers who swarmed the neighborhood.
The two slain deputies were identified Friday as 42-year-old Jonathan Koleski and 38-year-old Marshall Ervin.
“They were outstanding men, men of character and integrity, family men loved by their families and their kids,” Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens told a news conference.
Both men arrested at the scene made initial court appearances Friday afternoon.
Christopher Golden, 30, was charged with two counts of felony murder and two counts of aggravated assault against law enforcement officers. Christopher Cook, 32, wasn’t charged in the killings. But he was booked on six outstanding theft charges.
Both men were denied bond. It was not immediately known if they had attorneys.
VanHoozer declined to give specifics of what happened during the standoff that ended with the two men arrested, the home’s front door out of its frame and windows broken. He did say there was no more gunfire after the deputies were shot and no other officers were injured.
The sheriff had previously told reporters his deputies had been “ambushed.” On Friday afternoon, he deferred questions about the shootings to the county police chief, whose agency is conducting the investigation.
VanHoozer said police had tried to be forthcoming with what they knew during an “unfolding investigation” in which they still had limited information.
Asked if he would call the shootings an ambush, VanHoozer said: “What I’ve just given you are facts. I’m not going to label it.”
Sprawling Cobb County, with more than 760,000 people, is just northwest of Atlanta and one of Georgia’s most populous counties.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — When Joseph Kibbe attended the first Boise Pride Festival in 1989, he and about two dozen other participants wore paper bags over their heads to hide their faces from potentially violent onlookers.
At the first festival parade two years later, Kibbe and his friends were greeted by protesters with nooses in front of the Statehouse.
“Boise was a very different place back then — it was not a safe time to be LGBTQIA,” he said.
Still, for Kibbe — then a junior high student who faced frequent beatings at school, now the vice principal of the Boise Pride Festival board — the event was the one place where he felt like part of a community.
“I could come and be who I wanted to be here, who I actually was,” Kibbe said on Friday, just a few hours before this year’s festival was set to begin. “That was a huge morale booster, and why I’m so passionate about what we’re doing today.”
But this year, a roughly half-hour program on the three-day-long festival schedule called “Drag Kids” has prompted a wave of political pressure and anonymous threats.
Festival organizers envisioned a short performance where kids could put on sparkly dresses and lip-sync to songs like Kelly Clarkson’s “People Like Us” on stage. But others, including Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon, expected a lurid scene where children would “engage in sexual performances with adult entertainers.”
The event garnered national attention from far-right websites and podcasts, and by Tuesday organizers realized this wasn’t the “normal” amount of opposition, said festival president Michael Dale.
“The sexualization of children is wrong, full stop,” the Idaho GOP wrote on Twitter. “Idaho rejects the imposition of adult sexuality & adult sexual appetites on children.”
Moon and the Idaho GOP sent out statements directing constituents to ask the festival’s corporate sponsors to pull support. A few did, at least partly — removing their logos from festival fencing and canceling plans for booths. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare announced it was pulling $38,000 in funding along with resources focused on tobacco-cessation and HIV/AIDS prevention.
A conservative pastor from California began rallying like-minded congregations, asking members to tell the Ada County Sheriff to arrest any festival organizer who “contributes to the delinquency of minors.” A group known for armed protests told followers to show up Sunday.
Others, though, rallied to support Boise Pride. Four Democratic state lawmakers pledged their own financial support, and released a joint statement criticizing what they called “the false, dangerous claims from Idaho GOP Chair Dorothy Moon that stoke violence.” New business sponsors stepped up to fill vacancies.
But the political maelstrom was growing more intense by the hour, and five kids were stuck in the middle. Riley Burrows, a full-time drag entertainer from Boise who was co-producing the Drag Kids event, began getting death threats on social media.
“It’s: ‘We’re going to show up at this festival,’ ‘We’re coming after you,’ ‘I hope you know you have a target on your back,’ and ‘You’re going to be found in a tree,'” Burrows said. “It’s gotten so repetitive.”
On Thursday afternoon, festival organizers made the decision to postpone the kids’ performance.
“We wanted to ask these kids first and foremost, because it affects them, and their confidence and their lives. And they still wanted to do it,” Dale said, fighting back tears. “But it came to be an issue of their health, their wellbeing, and that of the festival-goers.”
Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric has been increasing in Idaho and around the U.S. in recent months, and earlier this year 31 members of a white supremacist group were arrested outside of a northern Idaho Pride event for allegedly planning to riot. The Boise Pride organizers have been working with Boise Police to boost security since the northern Idaho arrests in June.
None of the five young performers are new to drag shows. The youngest is 10, and was inspired by watching her mom get ready to perform.
“She really wanted to copy me and just do the makeup and have fun with it,” said Harley Innocent, who goes by her stage name. Innocent is one of many cisgender women who participate in drag, sometimes referred to as “AFAB” or “Assigned Female At Birth Queens.”
Her daughter’s first performance was in 2019, in the rural Idaho town of Emmett. She loved it, Innocent said.
“She was really looking forward to being able to do it on the Pride main stage — it was a big opportunity for her to share her talent.”
Innocent says her daughter does a “porcelain doll” makeup look, wears a wig and chooses a song that fits her mood.
It’s similar to a glitzy beauty pageant, Innocent said, but more laid back. “In drag you don’t have to be perfect. We’re just trying to have fun and welcome them to this art form.”
Burrows, the Drag Kids co-producer, said the kids are just having fun on stage in pretty outfits.
“It’s like if you were to send your kid to a school of dance, and the performance theme was rainbows — big tutus, bows and fun hair.”
That’s different from an adult drag show, which can have heavier themes, more revealing costumes and be geared toward more mature audiences, Burrows said: “It’s like the difference between a kid’s TV show and an adult TV show.”
Youth performances can give kids a sense of belonging, he said, adding that “it’s not scary to be gay when you’re surrounded by love and acceptance.”
There’s a lot more support available for LGBTQ kids today, said Kibbe, but it was still heartbreaking to tell them the event was being postponed until organizers could find a safer, more supportive venue.
“The actions of whatever small minority group don’t reflect how the majority of people feel, but we haven’t figured out how to counterbalance that yet,” Kibbe said. “The kids that were going to be performing in that show, they were literally just trying to let others know, ‘Hey, you’re OK, this is what a supportive parent looks like, this is what a friend looks like.’”

HELSINKI (AP) — Hundreds of people marched through the Norwegian capital on Saturday in an LBGT solidarity event to honor the Pride parade that was canceled in June after a deadly shooting outside a popular gay bar.
Marchers in “The Rainbow Train” passed the central Oslo nightlife district where a man identified as Zaniar Matapour shot and killed two men and injured several others outside the London Pub on June 25, just hours before the planned start of the Pride parade.
Norwegian citizen Matapour is being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism. His motive for the shooting remains unclear but police say hate crime is a possibility.
Organizers stressed the event Saturday wasn’t meant to be a substitute for the original Pride parade but rather a show of solidarity to Norway’s LBGT community.
“It is absolutely fantastic," Oslo Pride spokesman Dan Bjoerke told Norwegian news agency NTB. “There is a sea of people who will show everyone that it is love that wins. We must have diversity, we must have a society where people can be allowed to be themselves without fear.”
Prime Minister Jan Stoere Gahr was among the several Norwegian politicians who took part.
“We are taking back the streets. It’s not the Pride parade we had planned for June but this is a celebration that is important for people to be able to express these important values,” Stoere told NTB.
Saturday’s event culminated in a concert in Oslo.

Take a look at the beta version of dw.com. We're not done yet! Your opinion can help us make it better.
Germany's conservatives are leading in the polls. And they are debating hard over their future. Some have come from the outside to push for radical change to the country's most successful political party.
Bianca Praetorius said she had to go on an "inner journey" before she could join the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). This weekend she was attending her first party conference in Hannover, but two years ago she was a climate activist and entrepreneur working on TV series about tackling poverty, human trafficking, the consequences of the climate crisis, and "re-thinking our economic system."
Then, at some point in late 2020, she decided that the only way to really get anywhere was to go for the heart of the party that has governed for most of Germany's post-war history.
What Germany's center-right party needed was a climate policy organization: the Klima Union. But to found such an organization meant, she realized, she'd have to join the actual party.
She lost friends. "There were people in my circle who said I was crazy, who distanced themselves from me, who said I was making a pact with the devil, that I was green-washing," she told DW.
But the Green Party, currently in government and only four points behind the CDU in opinion polls, was just not for Praetorius.
"In the Greens, you have a lot of people who feel some kind of closeness to nature — but that doesn't really help if you want to change the climate all over the world, because it's such a highly complex economic issue," she said. "That's why I think the CDU, the party of the economy, is a much greater lever for changing the climate situation."
Praetorius' life path offers hope to someone at the other end of his CDU career. Norbert Lammert, former president of the German Bundestag, and now chairman of the CDU's intellectual institution, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, has been a party member for over half a century. What worries the venerable 73-year-old most is the increasing age (the average CDU party member is 60.8 years old) and the dwindling number of party memberships in general. Pollster Infratest dimap found that, between the 2017 and 2021 elections, 1.1 million CDU voters died.
But every party has the same problem, Lammert said. "You only have to look at the notable engagement, especially among young people, for climate issues against their expectation of politicians," he said. "The insight that you have to be active either in an existing party, or, if there's no other way, create a new party — that is less widespread."
CDU chairman Friedrich Merz and other major party figures cracked plenty of jokes at the expense of the Green Party
But one problem for the CDU specifically — and especially its new members like Praetorius — is the stubborn conservatism of the party base. Earlier this year, they elected as their leader Friedrich Merz, the most conservative of the three candidates they could have chosen in the wake of last September's national election defeat, and the man who for many represented the party's return to traditional values following the perceived liberalizing leftward drift under Angela Merkel.
And yet it was Merz — a 66-year-old who joined the CDU 50 years ago, and in 1997 notoriously voted against a Bundestag amendment recognizing rape within marriage as a crime — who sealed the deal for the CDU's feminist faction, by arguing with some passion for enforcing a female quota in the party hierarchies.
The mood throughout that debate was deeply divided: Early speeches against the quota received noisy cheers and applause, but the debate tipped when all the major party figures, including Merz, came out in favor of a compromise that will only be introduced incrementally reaching 50% only in 2025, and it will end after five years.
Nevertheless, Merz said this quota "was a signal that we take this issue seriously." Few delegates had the stomach to rebel against their new leader, but it also meant that the party officially recognized the existence of structural sexism.
Ursula Groden-Kranich, deputy leader of the CDU's women's organization, wants to win more female voters
Ursula Groden-Kranich has felt the CDU's recent defeats more keenly than most: She lost her Bundestag seat to a Social Democrat at the last election. Now, as deputy leader of the CDU's women's organization, the Frauen Union, trying to figure out how to win more female voters.
"The women's quota alone won't do that," she told DW. "The party needs to address issues that interest women, and that's not just childcare. Especially during the pandemic, women did everything that kept our state together. That strength needs to be channeled into the mindset of freedom. The freedom of choice needs to be constantly emphasized." She, like many CDU members, is skeptical about quotas — but views them as a necessary "bridge technology."
Party delegates were locked in a debate on the party's values. Arguments sometimes turned on fundamental points like what the Christian worldview represented: One delegate argued Christianity was centered on individual sovereignty, and adding inclusive language about equality in the party's charter was the "collective, compartmental thinking" of the left-wing parties. In fact, Merz himself got his loudest cheers of the weekend when he condemned universities and public broadcasters for introducing gender-neutral language.
But however Christian and conservative in its worldview, the CDU is desperate to see itself as a "Volkspartei" — a people's party — and that by definition means inclusion. One recent CDU leadership candidate was Jens Spahn, an openly gay former government minister.
Identity politics, distasteful to some in the CDU, is also vital to the CDU's future, believes Matthias Block-Löwer, of the LSU, the CDU's lesbian and gay organization. "It's about being officially accepted into the CDU family. This is a big step in which the CDU opens up, and says, 'Our basic values have changed about what our image of the family is, and about who loves who'," he said.
"I'm sure we were the party that took the longest to address LGBTQ issues," he added. "But that will be dealt with today, and I'm convinced of that, and for me it's one more step for me to say that I made the right decision to join the CDU."
While on the main conference stage Merz and other major party figures cracked plenty of jokes at the expense of the Green Party's "woke politics," Germany's current political polls suggest that these are the two most important political forces.
Block-Löwer, Groden-Kranich, and Praetorius all said their preferred coalition would be with the Greens. "The Greens are much more economically minded than they were ten years ago, and the CDU is greener than it was ten years ago," said Praetorius. "Those are good preconditions."

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — King Charles III was officially announced as Canada’s monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa.
Charles automatically became king when Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday. But like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
Charles is now is the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Though Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, many had great affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose silhouette marks their coins.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is minuscule, meaning that Charles will almost certainly remain king of Canada. One reason is that abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the constitution. That’s an inherently risky undertaking, given how delicately it is engineered to unite a nation of 37 million that embraces English-speakers, French-speakers, Indigenous tribes and a constant flow of new immigrants.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the ceremony where the Chief Herald of Canada read the proclamation on the accession of the new sovereign. Governor General Mary Simon also took part. Simon is governor general in Canada and is the representative of the British monarch as head of state, and holds a mostly ceremonial and symbolic position. She is an Inuk and is the first Indigenous person to hold the position.
A 28 member band of the Canadian Armed Forces played God Save the King during a 21-run gun salute. Canada’s national anthem marked the end of the ceremony. Queen Elizabeth was the head of state for 45% of Canada’s existence and visited the country 22 times as the monarch.

Woman, 22, is found dead in hotel room as three men aged 26, 46 and 49 are arrested on suspicion of murder
- Three men, aged 26, 46, and 49 have been arrested on suspicion of her murder
- Guests at hotel were awoken by police at 7am after calls of 'concern for safety'
- At 10.30am three police officers escorted a man from Adelphi Hotel in handcuffs
Three men aged 26, 46, and 49 have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 22-year-old woman was found dead in a Liverpool hotel.
Merseyside Police were called to Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool's city centre at 6.37am on Saturday morning after 'concerns' were raised for a woman's safety - only to find the 22-year-old's body in a hotel room.
Officers have since arrested a 26-year-old man from Seacombe, a 46-year-old man from Liverpool and a 49-year-old man from Widnes, all on suspicion of murder with the incident.
Guests staying at the Adelphi Hotel were woken up to the sounds of police 'banging' on their doors after the 22-year-old's body was found.
As the ambulance and police cars stood guard outside the doors, guests were allowed to come and go freely.

Many stood outside talking amongst themselves as they tried to piece together the events of the night before, while others were shocked by their rude awaking and being confronted by a host of ambulances and scientific support vehicles.
Hotel guest Jennifer, from York, told the Liverpool Echo: 'I came yesterday evening and I woke up this morning and there have been police and ambulances here for God knows how long.
'Police have been banging on everybody's doors asking what we have seen.
'We have woken up and up to now we don't know what is going on it could be anything.
'The person who did this could have come into my room and that is what worries me and it is terrifying to think it happened while I was asleep.'
At 10.30am three police officers escorted a man from the building in handcuffs. One guest also said that he saw another man being helped into the back of an ambulance with a 'bruised face and a limp' at around 9am.
One man from Birmingham who had been visiting Liverpool for a 'big night out' said that after coming back to the hotel in the early hours of this morning he was awoken at 7am by a police officer outside his hotel room door.
He said: 'It was about 7am and they asked if I had heard a disturbance in the night.
'They told me something had happened on my floor at around 3am this morning and someone has just told me that there was a cordon in the corridor.

'It's just a bit mad. I was not expecting to wake up to this and I have a hangover.'
Detectives added that they are 'keeping an open mind' with the investigation into the woman's death.
Police are in the process of identifying the woman's next of kin while enquiries are ongoing.
Detective Chief Inspector Lynsay Armbruster, said: 'We are in the very early stages of the investigation, and are trying to determine the circumstances around the young woman's death. I would appeal to anyone who was in the hotel in the early hours of this morning who may have seen or heard anything, at all to come forward.
'CCTV inquiries are ongoing and I would appeal to anyone with any information to please get in touch.'

(WFLA/NEXSTAR) — They may look cute and cuddly but they’ve also been described as one of the most venomous creatures in the U.S. Ever heard of “puss caterpillars”?
Many Central Florida residents are currently experiencing the return of the inch-long crawlers typically found on oak and elm trees. The caterpillars (also known as “asps”) are covered in furry-looking hair — which hide “extremely” toxic spines that stick to your skin, according to the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida.
Puss caterpillar stings can involve itching, burning, rashes, lesions and swelling — sometimes in several places on the body.
Measuring in around an inch long, the puss caterpillar is common in Texas, Florida, New Jersey and Arkansas, in addition to surrounding areas. The bugs are typically seen in fall and spring months.
Then 15 year-old Logan Pergola, of Central Florida, told WFLA in Tampa a puss caterpillar stung him while he was out with his family, leaving a large grid-like mark on his wrist.
“It’s burning,” he told his mom before the pain radiated to his chest.
Looking at photos of the caterpillar, you might wonder: where are its head and legs? They’re there, just hidden by hair. Texas A&M University’s AgriLife Extension explains puss caterpillars have chewing mouthparts.
Interesting (gross) fact: puss caterpillars propel their feces. University of Florida says this may be to keep feces off their food.
After a winter cocoon phase, the caterpillars will emerge as flannel moths — also known as southern flannel moths. Adults have wingspans around 1-1.5 inches long, Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida says. Wing colors are usually yellow and black (front wings) and cream yellow on hid wings. Their thoraxes are typically orange.
While it’s best to leave them alone altogether, experts say if you do get stung, get the spines out of your skin as soon as possible using cellophane tape. Ice packs, oral antihistamine, and hydrocortisone cream can also be used to help with the pain.
Even though southern flannel moths are less hazardous than puss caterpillars, officials say you should still probably resist touching them.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Five people died Saturday in New Zealand after the small charter boat they were aboard capsized, authorities say, in what may have been a collision with a whale. Another six people aboard the boat were rescued.
Police said the 8.5-meter (28-foot) boat overturned near the South Island town of Kaikōura. Police said they were continuing to investigate the cause of the accident.
Kaikōura Police Sergeant Matt Boyce described it as a devastating and unprecedented event.
"Our thoughts are with everyone involved, including the victims and their families, their local communities, and emergency services personnel," Boyce said.
He said police divers had recovered the bodies of all those who had died. He said all six survivors were assessed to be in stable condition at a local health center, with one transferred to a hospital in the city of Christchurch as a precaution.
Kaikōura Mayor Craig Mackle told The Associated Press that the water was dead calm at the time of the accident and the assumption was that a whale had surfaced from beneath the boat.
He said there were some sperm whales in the area and also some humpback whales traveling through.
He said locals had helped with the rescue efforts throughout the day but the mood in the town was "somber" because the water was so cold and they feared for the outcome of anybody who had fallen overboard.
Mackle said he'd thought in the past about the possibility of a boat and whale colliding, given the number of whales that frequent the region.
"It always plays on your mind that it could happen," he said, adding that he hadn't heard about any previous such accidents.
Mackle said the boat was a charter vessel typically used for fishing excursions. News agency Stuff reported the passengers belonged to a bird enthusiasts' group.
Police said they were still notifying the relatives of those who died, and couldn't yet publicly name the victims.
Vanessa Chapman told Stuff she and a group of friends had watched the rescue efforts unfold from Goose Bay, near Kaikōura. She said that when she arrived at a lookout spot, she could see a person sitting atop an overturned boat waving their arms.
She said two rescue helicopters and a third local helicopter were circling before two divers jumped out. She told Stuff that the person atop the boat was rescued and a second person appeared to have been pulled from the water.
Kaikōura is a popular whale-watching destination. The seafloor drops away precipitously from the coast, making for deep waters close to the shore. A number of businesses offer boat trips or helicopter rides so tourists can see whales, dolphins and other sea creatures up close.
Compliance agency Maritime New Zealand said it sent two investigators to the scene and would be conducting a thorough investigation once recovery operations had concluded.
Principal Investigator Tracy Phillips said the agency "offers its heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the people who have died."

The BMW PGA Championship has been shortened to 54 holes following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but longtime DP World Tour stalwarts Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose won’t be teeing it up on the weekend.
Both players withdrew from the tournament prior to taking the course Saturday morning.
Rose, who shot a first-round 73, cited a back injury as his reason for withdrawing from the DP World Tour’s flagship event.
Garcia, however, provided no reason for his withdrawal after a first-round 4-over 76.
Full-field scores from the BMW PGA Championship
The Spaniard has had his fair share of drama with his home tour this summer after electing to join LIV Golf, even threatening to resign his DP World Tour membership and as a result, his Ryder Cup eligibility.
Garcia had this to say after his experience at The Open Championship at St. Andrews.
“I am quite clear about what I am going to do with the European circuit, probably leave it,” Garcia said. “I want to play where I feel loved, and right now in the European Tour I am not feeling loved. I am very happy with what I have achieved, and I am going to try to enjoy it. I will play less and will spend more time at home.”
After a week to think it over, Garcia elected to maintain his DP World Tour membership.
“I'm going to hold off on [resigning DPWT membership],” Garcia explained. “I want to at least see what's happening when the Ryder Cup qualification starts, see what kind of rules and eligibilities they have in there. If I agree with what they [are], I'll definitely keep playing whatever I can on the tour and try to qualify for that Ryder Cup team. And if not, then we'll move on. But it is definitely something that is in my mind.”
Garcia has no further appearances planned on the DP World Tour in 2022 and will be playing the fifth LIV Golf event next week at Rich Harvest Farms in Chicago.
Ryan Fox, Kristoffer Broberg and Nino Bertasio have also withdrawn from the BMW PGA.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks announced a new youth curfew on Monday which has sparked a debate.
Some people online are debating about whether curfews actually work to reduce crime and while there's no definitive consensus there have been a lot of studies.
The Verify team turned to expert sources to break down the topic.
SOURCES:
- Jillian Carr, a professor at Purdue University
- Eduardo Ferrer, a law professor from the Juvenile Justice Initiative at Georgetown University
WHAT WE KNOW:
A 2016 paper looked at data from 12 different studies on curfews.
"It found that juvenile curfews are ineffective at reducing crime and victimization," Ferrer said.
Then there's a 2000 study that focused specifically on Prince George's County and states that the impacts on people under 18 were "small and not statistically significant."
Although the study found that crimes against 22- to 25-year-olds did appear to go down.
Meanwhile, another study published in 2017 looked at D.C. gunshot data and found that gunshots actually increased slightly as a result of an earlier curfew. Carr researched this paper.
"When you take innocent bystanders off the street using something like a curfew, you're potentially reducing the cost to firing a gun," Carr said.
A 2012 study, which has a very different result, finds that curfews reduced the number of young people being arrested by about 10%.
So while the data is not definitive, there are numerous studies suggesting youth curfews may not lead to reduced crime.
A spokesperson for Alsobrooks told WUSA9 that they've used curfews in the past and had tremendous success.
"The administration successfully utilized a curfew in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic after thousands of youth were gathering at National Harbor," the spokesperson said. "The purpose of enforcing this existing curfew is not to penalize or burden children, it's to engage parents and family members in their safety and wellbeing."

Canton McKinley pizza scandal: Judge dismisses former football coaches from lawsuit
Editor’s Note: Below is a previous report by 19 News about the lawsuit. Return for updates.
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - New developments occurred this week in the pizza scandal involving a former Canton McKinley football player and his coaches.
A federal judge filed an order Thursday to dismiss the seven former football coaches from a lawsuit claiming they forced the player to eat pork against his religion.
Judge John Adams found there was not enough evidence to support allegations made by legal representation of the student-athlete.
The lawsuit filed by the Hebrew Israelite player’s family alleged that on May 24, 2021 the coaches forced him to eat a pepperoni pizza after he missed a voluntary practice session.
The Canton City Board of Education voted to fire the coaches on June 3, 2021 after surveillance camera video surfaced of the incident.
The Pattakos Law Firm, which represents the former coaches, released a statement after the ruling that said, in part:
“From the moment these absurd and sensational accusations first went public there were numerous eyewitnesses, including the alleged victim’s teammates, who were jumping out of their shoes to confirm that the accusations were false. We begged Canton City School District officials to slow their rushed and flawed investigation to account for the truth but they wouldn’t listen. It remains a tragedy that these good men lost their jobs over this but with today’s ruling they’ve at least received some small measure of justice and they are extremely grateful for that.”
The lawyer representing the student’s family did not immediately return 19 News’ request for comment.
Records show the Canton City School District and Superintendent Jeff Talbert were already dismissed from the lawsuit.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — King Charles III was officially announced as Canada’s monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa.
Charles automatically became king when Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday. But like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
Charles is now is the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Though Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, many had great affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose silhouette marks their coins.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is minuscule, meaning that Charles will almost certainly remain king of Canada. One reason is that abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the constitution. That’s an inherently risky undertaking, given how delicately it is engineered to unite a nation of 37 million that embraces English-speakers, French-speakers, Indigenous tribes and a constant flow of new immigrants.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the ceremony where the Chief Herald of Canada read the proclamation on the accession of the new sovereign. Governor General Mary Simon also took part. Simon is governor general in Canada and is the representative of the British monarch as head of state, and holds a mostly ceremonial and symbolic position. She is an Inuk and is the first Indigenous person to hold the position.
A 28 member band of the Canadian Armed Forces played God Save the King during a 21-run gun salute. Canada’s national anthem marked the end of the ceremony. Queen Elizabeth was the head of state for 45% of Canada’s existence and visited the country 22 times as the monarch.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is nationally famous for its red and white checker scheme, tasty cheeseburgers and “small” orders of fries that constitute the server dumping a river of fries into one’s bag.
The Five Guys experience is coming to the Western Slope for the first time this fall. Work is continuing at the restaurant’s future location, the former Mi Mexico property at 2480 U.S. Highway 6&50. Mi Mexico relocated to 624 Rae Lynn St.
Jeff Parker, Five Guys’ franchisee for southern and western Colorado, said that supply chain issues mean that the construction crew is still waiting on components such as kitchen equipment, glass and stainless steel items, meaning there is no firm timeline for Five Guys’ opening.
However, Parker said that opening in the first few weeks of October would be “ideal.” He said that opening a Grand Junction location was a decision made by himself and his wife, Mindy. The couple lives in Colorado Springs, where they oversee all Front Range Five Guys restaurants south of Denver.
“We’ve opened some stores (on the Front Range), but we’ve always kind of gravitated back toward Grand Junction, so when it became available, we jumped at the chance to add to our stores,” Parker said. “We’ve been poking around there for a little while. We really like the area. We feel that it’s a vibrant up-and-coming community that’s also pretty stable, so for us, it fits right up our alley.”
Parker initially fell in love with Grand Junction because of how often baseball brought him to town.
Before he became a Five Guys franchisee, Parker spent decades with Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim franchise.
He was a batboy for the then-California Angels in the 1980s. In the 1990s, he became the director of player development, placing him in charge of the team’s Minor League System.
One of the Angels’ coaches and scouts was Grand Junction legend Sam Suplizio, so Parker often found himself on the Western Slope to work with Suplizio and take in some baseball.
“I had been through Grand Junction for baseball on many occasions and kind of fell in love with the area and with Colorado in general,” Parker said. “It’s always been a really solid baseball market, so to speak.”
In 2008 — six years after Parker’s tenure overseeing the Angels’ farm system culminated in the franchise winning its only World Series championship — Parker decided to step away from his role in Double-A Minor League Baseball in favor of burgers.
The Parkers moved to Colorado Springs and opened one of the first Five Guys restaurants in the state. He cited “quality of life” as the biggest factor in the decision to shift from the diamond to the kitchen.
“We have four kids,” he said. “With baseball, you’re always on the road. With Five Guys, you put in a lot of hours, but you’re always sleeping in your own bed, so for us, it was a lifestyle decision and an opportunity. We had gotten wind of Five Guys from an old McDonald’s franchisee who was a minor league baseball owner that we had become close to and I worked for for several years.”
Parker was anxious about the career shift at first, but a meeting with Five Guys’ founder helped calm his nerves.
“We were kind of nervous about getting into that field, but when I met with Jerry Murrell and the people of Five Guys, they didn’t have any reservations about us not being in the food business,” Parker said. “They said, ‘You’re only going to know one way how to do it, and it’s going to be how we teach you.’
“We only know one way to do it: how the Murrell family and Five Guys taught us to do it. That’s how we roll.”

The queen's oldest son - Charles - has become king and departed the estate on Friday for London, where he was officially proclaimed monarch on Saturday.
Her three other children - Anne, Andrew and Edward - joined their own families to attend church and then thank supporters who had queued to leave flowers outside the gates to the remote castle, deep in the Scottish highlands.
Princess Eugenie, one of Prince Andrew's daughters, was seen wiping away tears as she read messages attached to the bouquets, before being hugged by her father.
Anne, the queen's 72-year-old daughter, mouthed "thank you" to the crowd.
"It was a very emotional moment, it was very heartfelt," said Ian Smith, a local businessman who was at the front of the barriers. "It was really special that they came to acknowledge us and we could show them our support."
The death of Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch after 70 years on the throne, has drawn an outpouring of tributes from home and abroad, with thousands gathering across the United Kingdom to show their respect and buildings and landmarks lit in red, white and blue around the world.
The Balmoral estate sits around 50 miles (80 km) from the nearest city of Aberdeen, spanning 50,000 acres (20,000 hectares) of forestry and farmland and long the queen's favourite summer retreat.
The family, many of whom had rushed to be by the queen's side as her health deteriorated on Thursday, turned to wave to the crowds before going back inside the gates of the estate.
Andrew, 62, who stepped down from royal duties in 2019 over his friendship with the late U.S. financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, bowed to the crowd with his palms touching.
"It was very sombre and understated, but it was a really special moment to see them," said Stephen Forgie, 57, a joiner, who had travelled for an hour to get to Balmoral.
"This is just such a huge, huge moment in history."

The Indian aspirations for the Davis Cup World Group tie against Norway suffered a jolt as World No. 19 doubles star Rohan Bopanna withdrew owing to a knee injury. The All India Tennis Association (AITA) secretary-general Anil Dhupar, already in Norway, stated that Saketh Myneni would be the replacement. Saketh will rush to Lillehammer for the tie to be played on September 16 and 17 on indoor hard court. Saketh has had a very successful season so far, winning half a dozen Challenger doubles titles, most of them with Yuki Bhambri, who is a key member of the squad. Ramkumar Ramanathan, Prajnesh Gunneswaran and Sasikumar Mukund are the other members of the team as recorded in the Davis Cup website. Sumit Nagal was also named in the six-member squad and has already reached Norway. Captain Rohit Rajpal and coach Zeeshan Ali are also in Norway and the team is expected to assemble in strength shortly to get acclimatised to the conditions and prepare in right earnest. Norway has named Casper Ruud, the US Open finalist, who could become the World No. 1 if he wins the Grand Slam in New York. The other members of the team Viktor Durasovic (341), Lukas Hellum Lilleengen (1089), apart from Herman Hoeyeraal and Simen Sunde Bratholm without any world rank, offer hope to the Indian team.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Under pressure from his Republican rival, Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman said this week he would participate in one debate before the November election.
In Georgia, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker are still working through the details of what a debate might look like, though they appear to be inching closer to a deal. And in Arizona, Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Katie Hobbs has declined a televised debate with Republican Kari Lake.
With the fall campaign rapidly approaching, the time-honored tradition of televised debates as a forum for voters to evaluate candidates may be the latest casualty of constant media coverage and powerful digital platforms, as well as the nation’s polarized political climate. For some Republicans, eschewing debates is a chance to sidestep a media structure some in the party deride as biased and align with Donald Trump, who has blasted presidential debates. Some Democrats, including Hobbs, have pointed to raucous GOP debates from the primary season as a reason to avoid tangling with their opponents.
Despite such skepticism, veteran political consultant Terry Sullivan defended debates as “the one forum where candidates are forced into answering questions that they don’t want to answer.”
“They’re not going to do it in their TV commercials,” added Sullivan, who managed GOP Sen. Jim DeMint’s 2004 bid in South Carolina and handled media for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential effort. “And in stump appearances, press conferences, they can evade, they can dodge.”
And sometimes, Sullivan added, it’s the media coverage of what happens onstage, rather than the back-and-forth itself, that can make a bigger impression.
In what “should have been the most boring debate in the history of mankind,” Sullivan said that a 2004 panelist questioning DeMint and Democrat Inez Tenenbaum asked DeMint if he agreed with a state GOP platform tenet in opposition of openly gay teachers in South Carolina’s public schools.
“That kind of turned the race on its head for the next three months,” Sullivan said, noting headlines he characterized as “DeMint wants to fire gay teachers.”
DeMint went on to win the open seat by nearly 10 percentage points, a margin typical in recent South Carolina statewide elections. But in more competitive states, Sullivan said, a debate can serve as “a good way to find out where candidates are on the issues.”
In addition to winning candidates thousands of impressions in earned media and repackaged video clips, debate footage can also propel candidates’ messages far more broadly — and cheaply — than could television ad buys, said Michael Wukela, a South Carolina Democratic media consultant and veteran of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential bids.
“You’re getting that in one shot,” Wukela said, of a debate appearance being worth airtime that would otherwise cost millions. “That’s like a Super Bowl ad.”
Refusal to participate can draw ire from rivals. The Republicans whom Walker refused to debate ahead of Georgia’s primary critiqued him as ill-prepared to take on Warnock, a skilled orator.
“If you can’t get on the stage and debate fellow Republicans, how the heck are you going to debate with Raphael Warnock in the general election?” Latham Saddler, a Navy veteran and former Trump administration official who was among five Republicans challenging Walker, asked. “Usually if you’re hiding, you’re hiding for a reason.”
Walker repeatedly proclaimed his eagerness to face off with Warnock in the fall but, instead of agreeing to Warnock’s challenge to three debates, accepted an invitation to a different one altogether. This week, Warnock said he would participate in that debate, if Walker agreed to another forum Warnock wants. That back-and-forth remains unresolved.
Other Senate contests are playing out similarly.
In North Carolina, where U.S. Rep. Ted Budd skipped four Republican primary debates in his U.S. Senate bid, said Friday he wouldn’t accept an invitation from the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters to debate Democrat Cheri Beasley, as the two head for a presumably close general election. Budd said he had accepted a cable debate invite, but there’s no agreement with Beasley on that appearance.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, mused to reporters this week about what would happen if voters elected a senator who never has ”answered a legitimate question from a voter, from a newscaster in a non-taped setting, in a debate stage?” citing Fetterman’s campaign-trail absence as he recovers from a stroke.
Fetterman’s campaign said he will participate in a televised debate in October but gave no other details, including why he would agree to just one debate. Oz’s campaign immediately dubbed it a “secret debate,” with no details on when or where.
In Pennsylvania’s governor’s race, the Republican nominee Doug Mastriano has rejected a media-moderated debate and instead reserved a hotel ballroom on Oct. 22 and picked a partisan moderator for himself: Mercedes Schlapp, who served as Trump’s White House strategic communications director and is married to the chair of the American Conservative Union.
The campaign of Democrat Josh Shapiro said Mastriano’s refusal to accept an independent moderator blew up about a dozen invitations from news organizations and other groups.
Some incumbents with an edge on their rivals have rebuffed requests for multiple debates, uninterested in taking a risk on stage that might change the course of their campaign.
South Carolina Democrat Joe Cunningham called for four general-election debates with Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, whose campaign dismissed the request as a “stunt” and ultimately agreed to one matchup. In Texas, GOP Gov. Greg Abbott has granted a single debate to Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke — on a Friday night in the thick of high school football season, which will be broadcast as distracted voters are instead at games kicking off around the state.
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis initially committed to a statewide televised debate with his Democratic opponent before U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist — who came under fire for not agreeing to primary debates — won his party’s nomination. Now, the two are set to spar in a single debate, shown only on a West Palm Beach TV station.
Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Republican nominee Tudor Dixon finally agreed to a single October debate after a scheduling flap. Whitmer announced last month she would participate in two statewide, televised debates, a decision her campaign said was “consistent with past precedent.” Dixon, who criticized Whitmer for not debating before voter are able to send in absentee ballots, ultimately agreed to the solo meeting.
Noting that the uncertainty of debates can be “terrifying” for all involved, Wukela acknowledged incumbents’ reticence to allowing their challengers prominent opportunities to equate themselves with the office, or its existing occupant.
“Strom Thurmond refused to debate any of his opponents,” Wukela said of the longtime South Carolina Democrat-turned-Republican governor and senator. “If I’ve got a four-touchdown lead, why would I ever throw the ball?”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — About nine years ago, Sarah Knowlton sought an abortion at a now-closed clinic in northern Indiana, where she encountered anti-abortion protestors as she approached the entrance.
Knowlton reflected on how that experience drove her in 2019 to Whole Woman’s Health, another abortion clinic in South Bend, to train workers to take patients safely to its doors, creating a resource she wished she had years ago.
But the program — and Knowlton’s work at the clinic — will end Sept. 15, when Indiana’s abortion ban comes into force, effectively closing down abortion clinics statewide.
Indiana’s Legislature became the first in the nation to approve abortion restrictions after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the ban into law Aug. 5.
The ban, which has exceptions, prohibits abortion clinics from providing any abortion care, leaving such services solely to hospitals or outpatient surgical centers owned by hospitals.
“My last shift as a clinic escort is coming up,” Knowlton said Wednesday. “And I’m not ready for it.”
At Indiana University Health, which is the state’s largest hospital system, providers have been training to continue offering abortion care in the allowed circumstances.
Under the new law, abortions will be permitted only in cases of rape and incest before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the patient; or if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly.
A doctor who performs an illegal abortion or who fails to file required reports must lose their medical license.
IU Health officials outlined a new 24/7 response team — which will include a clinician, an ethicist and a lawyer — that providers can contact to evaluate nuanced emergency situations.
“The law is broad,” said Dr. Caroline Rouse, medical director of maternity services at IU Health. “Patient situations are very specific and unique.”
Last year, the majority of abortions in Indiana happened in abortion clinics. Hospitals performed 133 of the state’s 8,414 abortions, according to a 2021 annual report from the state Department of Health, while the remaining 8,281 took place in abortion clinics.
The clinics in Indiana that will not be able provide abortion services on Sept. 15, include Whole Woman’s Health in South Bend, Women’s Med in Indianapolis, and Clinic for Women in Indianapolis.
The four Planned Parenthood clinics that provide abortion care in Indiana will do so no longer, but will continue to see patients for other medical services such as STI testing and treatment, contraception and cancer screenings, said Rebecca Gibron, CEO of the Planned Parenthood division that includes Indiana.
“Planned Parenthood has been a leading reproductive health care provider in Indiana since 1932. And we are not going anywhere,” Gibron told the AP in August.
Sharon Lau, Midwest Advocacy Director for Whole Woman’s Health Alliance, said that though the South Bend clinic will cease abortion care, patients can still access a program that directs patients to abortion appointments in other states.
“We will keep going until we’re forced not to,” she said.
Clinic for Women in Indianapolis declined to talk to The Associated Press.
Lau said her clinic’s plans could hinge on two lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana that seek to block the abortion ban before it takes effect.
The first lawsuit, filed Aug. 31 in a Monroe County, states the ban violates the Indiana Constitution, while the one filed Thursday in Marion County claims the ban is at odds with the state’s religious freedom law, which Republicans enacted seven years ago. The timing of both lawsuits is unclear.
Mike Fichter, Indiana Right to Life CEO, said in a statement that delaying the ban would mean “the indiscriminate killing of unborn children will continue at abortion clinics in Indiana.”
“We are confident the state will prevail and pray the new law is not blocked from going into effect,” he said.
Women’s Med will also stop providing abortions after the ban but continue referring patients to states where abortion is legal until about one month after, said Dr. Katie McHugh, an abortion provider at the clinic.
McHugh said she’s seen a shift in patient behavior since the Indiana ban was passed. While some are pursuing abortion earlier, others are choosing surgical over medication abortions to avoid complications, she said.
Other patients assume abortion is already illegal, “and yet they choose abortion anyway, if that can demonstrate the desperation that people feel,” McHugh said.
Knowlton said she worries for those patients who will put their health or lives at risk if they cannot get an abortion. She knows that feeling; it was her mindset nine years ago.
“I was going to find a way, come hell or high water, whether there was a clinic I was able to access or not,” Knowlton said.

LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II has been depicted on British banknotes and coins for decades. Her portrait also has been featured on currencies in dozens of other places around the world, in a reminder of the British empire’s colonial reach.
So what happens next after her death this week? It will take time for the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries to swap out the monarchs on their money.
Here’s a look at what is next for the paper cash featuring the late queen:
SWITCHING MONARCHS
The queen’s portrait on British notes and coins is expected to be replaced by a likeness of the new King Charles III, but it won’t be immediate.
“Current banknotes featuring the image of Her Majesty The Queen will continue to be legal tender,” the Bank of England said. An announcement on existing paper money issued by the U.K.’s central bank will be made after the official 10-day mourning period has ended, it said.
The Royal Mint, which is the official maker of British coins, said all coins with her portrait “remain legal tender and in circulation,” with more information to come later.
“As we respect this period of respectful mourning, we continue to strike coins as usual,” the Royal Mint said on its website.
With 4.7 billion U.K. banknotes worth 82 billion pounds ($95 billion) in circulation and about 29 billion coins, British money bearing the queen’s image will likely be in circulation for years.
“Rather than all of the current coins and notes being handed in, the process will be a gradual one and many of the coins featuring portraits of Queen Elizabeth II will remain in circulation for many years to come,” according to Coin Expert, a British coin research website.
After Charles takes the crown at his coronation, a new portrait will need to be taken to use on redesigned notes and coins, the website said.
Coins featuring him will show him facing to the left, replacing the queen’s rightward gaze in line with tradition dating to the 17th century. It dictates monarchs be shown in profile and in opposite direction to their predecessors.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES?
Other nations’ currencies that feature the queen — from Australian, Canadian and Belizean dollars — also will be updated with the new monarch, but the process could take longer, because “it is much easier to enforce a new design in the country where it originates, rather than in other countries where different jurisdiction may take place,” the Coin Expert website said.
The Bank of Canada said its current $20 banknote, made of synthetic polymer, is designed “to circulate for years to come.”
“There is no legislative requirement to change the design within a prescribed period when the Monarch changes,” the Bank of Canada said.
In general, when a new portrait subject is chosen for Canadian money, the process begins with drawing up a fresh design, and a new note is ready to be issued “a few years later,” the bank said.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand said it will issue all of its stock of coins depicting the queen before new ones go out with Charles’ image. The queen also is featured on the $20 bill, which is made “infrequently” and there is no “plan to destroy stock or shorten the life of existing banknotes just because they show the Queen,” the bank said.
“It will be several years before we need to introduce coins featuring King Charles the Third, and longer until stocks of $20 notes are exhausted,” it added.
THE QUEEN’S CURRENCY
She first appeared on money when she was still a princess. That was in 1935, when Canada’s $20 bill featured 8-year-old Princess Elizabeth, whose grandfather King George V was then the monarch, as part of a new series of notes.
Canadian $20 bills were updated with a new portrait of the queen in 1954, a year after her coronation, and her portrait also started appearing on other currencies around the world, mainly British colonies and Commonwealth countries.
British bills didn’t get her image until 1960 — seven years after her coronation. That’s when the Bank of England was granted permission to use her likeness on paper money, starting with the 1-pound note, though the formal and regal image was criticized for being too severe and unrealistic.
She became the first monarch to be depicted on British banknotes. British coins, meanwhile, have featured kings and queens for more than 1,000 years.
CURRENCIES OUTSIDE THE U.K.
At one time, Queen Elizabeth II appeared on at least 33 different currencies, more than any other monarch, an achievement noted by Guinness World Records.
Her image is still featured on money in places where she remains a beloved figure, such as Canada, and continue to incorporate the Union Jack into their flags, like Australia and New Zealand.
She’s also found on notes and coins issued by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the monetary authority for a group of small nations including Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Other places have long stopped putting her face on their currency. After Jamaica gained independence from Britain in 1962, its central bank replaced the queen on paper notes with portraits of national heroes such as Marcus Garvey.
Notes in the Seychelles now feature local wildlife instead of the queen. Bermuda did a similar revamp, though the queen retains a minor position on bills. Trinidad and Tobago swapped in a coat of arms after it became a republic.
Hong Kong dollars issued after Britain handed its colony back to Beijing in 1997 feature Chinese dragons and skyscrapers on the Asian financial center’s skyline.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Two American Indian tribes in South Dakota have agreed to purchase 40 acres of land near the Wounded Knee National Historic Landmark on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
The Oglala Sioux tribe will pay $255,000 and the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe will pay $245,000 for the site, and agree to petition the U.S. Department of the Interior to take the land into trust on behalf of both tribes, Indian Country Today reported. The title to the land will be held in the name of the Oglala Sioux tribe.
The agreement ends a decades-long dispute over land that is the site of the Wounded Knee massacre of 1890 in which hundreds of Lakota men, women and children were killed by U.S. soldiers in an attempt to suppress the Ghost Dance, a Lakota religious movement. Victims were buried in a mass grave in a nearby Catholic cemetery.
Jeanette Czywczynski became sole owner of the property after her husband, James, died in 2019. James Czywczynski purchased the property in 1968.
The Czywczynski family operated a trading post and museum there until 1973, when American Indian Movement protesters occupied the site, destroying both the post and Czywczynski’s home.
The 71-day standoff that left two tribal members dead and a federal agent seriously wounded led to heightened awareness about Native American struggles and propelled a wider protest movement.
The family moved away from the area and put the land up for sale, asking $3.9 million for the 40-acre parcel nearest the massacre site. The land, including an additional adjacent 40-acre plot, had been assessed at $14,000.
In 2013, film star Johnny Depp announced a plan to buy the property and donate it to the Oglala Sioux tribe. Depp, who played the role of Tonto in a remake of the film, “The Lone Ranger,” was criticized for trying to capitalize on the film making unsubstantiated claims of having Native American ancestry. Depp did not follow through on the purchase.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — Last year, Sam Jalloh zig-zagged across West Africa coaching tennis to kids, taking with him rackets, balls and a cellphone loaded with photos and videos of a pro player in action to inspire the youngsters.
The player? Frances Tiafoe.
That move to encourage young Africans by showing them images of Tiafoe, an American with Sierra Leone roots, has paid off. Jalloh’s phone has pinged and pinged this week with text messages from many of the kids, delighted by the 24-year-old Tiafoe’s incredible run to the semifinals at the U.S. Open, where he beat Rafael Nadal along the way.
“They’re saying, ‘coach, have you seen Frances? This is really good.’ When these things happen . . . you can see that it motivates children,” Jalloh said. “They are very, very excited and it’s not just kids from Sierra Leone. I’ve got kids from Gambia, kids from Ghana, kids from Nigeria. This will bring a lot more inspiration for them.”
Tiafoe was born in the United States to parents who emigrated from Sierra Leone — also Jalloh’s home country — and while Tiafoe offers new hope for the future of American tennis, the African link made him an ideal role model for Jalloh to use, even before this breakthrough U.S. Open where he advanced to Friday’s semifinals before losing in five sets to Carlos Alcaraz.
Tiafoe’s parents, Frances Sr. and Alphina, struggled when they first arrived in the U.S. Frances Sr. worked as a laborer and then janitor at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland. Alphina put in long night shifts as a nurse. Frances Jr. and his twin brother, Franklin, were born in Maryland and lived for much of the first 10 years of their lives in a converted office at the tennis center.
With that backstory, Jalloh could see kids in West Africa make “a connection” to Tiafoe even though he also showed them clips of 22-time Grand Slam singles champion Nadal and other top players.
“It inspires them to go on and be great in tennis or whatever they aspire to be,” Jalloh said. He feels the Tiafoe effect in Africa will “go on for a long time.”
Jalloh insists tennis is more popular than many think in West Africa. He’s seen enough courts in enough towns and cities and enough young hopefuls to make that claim.
Some of the courts he’s coached on are neatly marked out and surrounded by fences. Many aren’t. Jalloh has made use of whatever he’s found. Some are little more than cracked strips of concrete in between houses in poor, inner-city neighborhoods. Others are stretches of flat earth carved out of the wilderness outside town.
It’s here that Jalloh hopes Tiafoe’s stirring performance at Flushing Meadows sparks something in tennis authorities in West Africa like it has in his young players.
“Once we have the organization and the people with the passion, then you’ll see a lot of talent come from Africa,” Jalloh said.
There have been positive signs in Sierra Leone in the past week. The national media, normally with eyes only for soccer, has taken notice of tennis and Tiafoe has received much praise.
Fatima Bio, wife of Sierra Leone President Julius Bio, posted on her Facebook page about Tiafoe: “You are such an amazing guy and I want you to know we are celebrating you at home.” Former Sierra Leone soccer captain Kai Kamara called Tiafoe “one of us” and said the country was behind him.
Jalloh became aware of Tiafoe when he won the prestigious Orange Bowl junior tournament in Miami at the age of 15. Jalloh wanted to know more about the young talent with Sierra Leonean heritage and eventually became good friends with Tiafoe’s dad. They speak often on the phone, Jalloh said, and were in contact this week as Frances Jr. blazed his trail at the U.S. Open.
It has also reinvigorated Jalloh, whose own life story is quite extraordinary.
Jalloh was born in the Sierra Leone capital, Freetown, one of 11 children and his parents gave him up for adoption at the age of 6 because they couldn’t afford to keep him. He ran away from his adopted family and lived on the streets of Freetown before reuniting with his mother.
He then found tennis and went from playing on the streets with his hand, and later homemade wooden bats, to a Sierra Leone national tennis player, which earned him $250 and a team tracksuit, his “greatest dream,” he said.
He now coaches players on the pro tour from his home in England and is already planning his next coaching trip to Africa. He’s aiming to go to Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa at the end of the year and back to West Africa in early 2023, he said, with his tennis equipment and plenty of new video clips of Tiafoe.
“Oh yes, I’ve got so much now. I will have a lot to show to the kids,” Jalloh said.

Newswise — Ann Arbor, September 8, 2022 – In the first year of its availability, 84.2% of US adults received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Progress in COVID-19 vaccination slowed after April 2021, and millions of Americans remain unvaccinated. New research in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, published by Elsevier, finds wide geographic variance in vaccine uptake and identifies the underlying behavioral and social drivers that factor into the decision to remain unvaccinated. The findings suggest that improving COVID-19 vaccine confidence may not be solved by a “one-size-fits-all solution.”
“Many studies have explored vaccine coverage and vaccine confidence at a national level, but these are likely to vary widely by geography and sociodemographics,” said lead investigator Nina B. Masters, PhD, Epidemic Intelligence Service, and Division of Viral Diseases, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA, USA. “We decided to explore state and regional trends in COVID-19 vaccine confidence and the underlying reasons for non-vaccination.”
The study used data from the National Immunization Survey-Adult COVID Module. This is a nationally representative household cellphone survey of US adults aged 18 or older. Of the 531,798 participants surveyed (April 22 to December 31, 2021), respondents who had not received a COVID-19 vaccine were then asked how likely they were (definitely, probably, probably not, definitely will not, not sure) to get vaccinated. Additional questions were asked about the individual’s concerns about COVID-19 and confidence in vaccine safety and importance.
To understand social norms, the participants were asked how many friends and family members had received a COVID-19 vaccination, and if a healthcare provider had recommended that they receive the vaccine. For practical factors, the survey asked whether one’s work or school required COVID-19 vaccination and whether they experienced any actual or perceived difficulty in accessing a vaccination. Demographic data were also collected. The analysis examined these variables nationally and for each state for each month in the survey period, to support trends over time.
In general, rural residents were less likely to be vaccinated than urban residents, but in the Southeast and Midwest, differences in vaccination coverage by urbanicity were smaller. In most states, Black and Hispanic adults were less likely to be vaccinated than White and non-Hispanic adults. However, in the South and the Southeast, where vaccination rates were low compared to the rest of the US, vaccination coverage was similar across race and ethnicity. The Southeast and Midwest had the largest proportion of unvaccinated people who indicated that they would probably get a COVID-19 vaccine or were unsure. These regions saw similar trends in concern about COVID-19 and confidence in the importance of getting vaccinated.
Overall, individuals with low confidence in the importance of the vaccine were five times more likely to remain unvaccinated. This suggests that focused messaging about the benefits of vaccination, compared to the risk of the disease, remains a priority. Adults in rural areas – as well as those with less than a college degree, without insurance, making less than $75,000/year and under 65 – had higher prevalence of non-vaccination across all regions, while associations between vaccination and race/ethnicity varied by region.
“Our analysis supports the idea that reasons for non-vaccination are personal and individual, and there are nuances and differences in this reasoning, for example, between an unvaccinated, young individual living in a rural community in the Southeast and an unvaccinated, older individual living in the Northeast who has mostly vaccinated friends and family. It’s important to meet people where they are to build confidence in vaccines,” said Dr. Masters. “The CDC has made national, regional, and state data available on the Behavioral and Social Drivers of COVID-19 vaccination through national surveys of adults and parents. State and local health departments may be able to strengthen their ongoing efforts locally by accessing these data at the CDC COVID Data Tracker: Vaccine Confidence.”

This year's Star Trek Day shared glimpses of all the upcoming treats awaiting fans from every corner of the Starfleet universe and allowed fans and peers a moment to pay tribute to the late, great Nichelle Nichols.
The Los Angeles-based event, which was live-streamed for fans globally on various Star Trek platforms, featured appearances by Star Trek stars from across the franchises, including Picard's Patrick Stewart, Michelle Hurd, Jeri Ryan, Kate Mulgrew, Melissa Navia, Christina Chong and Rebecca Romijn.
The excitement on the red carpet was nothing compared to the reverence with which stars reflected on the memory of the late actress known for playing Lt. Nyota Uhura in the original William Shatner-fronted Trek series.
"She is really the reason why I feel so proud to be a part of this amazing franchise," Hurd told ET. "When I was a young kid... my father was an actor and he knew that it was really important for his three brown girls to see themselves represented. So when we would sit down to watch something, Star Trek was always the first thing and it's because of Nichelle Nichols."
She added, "I hope that people understand how impactful and how much she changed everything. It wasn't just that there was this beautiful Black woman in this cute dress sitting at a console -- she had importance, she had control, she had power, she had a service that she contributed. Seeing that as a child, I saw that I could have a purpose, I could serve."
The Picard actress shared how Nichols' shift to wearing her hair naturally inspired her own decision to style her character Raffi similarly.
"I wanted all of our brothers and sisters to see that in [the year] 2400, curls are still there and they're not going anywhere," she declared. "So I’m so humbled and appreciative to think that Nichelle did that for me and for so many of us, and that maybe I have a tiny little impact in conveying that same message to little brown and beige girls and boys around the world. That they tune in now and they see me and they go, 'I could do that, I could do anything.'"
Actress Celia Rose Gooding, who plays Nyota Uhura on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, had a similar outlook.
"It means everything to be here and to have a moment to honor the icon that is Nichelle Nichols," she said to ET on the red carpet."It's incredible [and] paramount that we do this, and so to be a part of it means the world to me because I would not be here if it weren't for Nichelle. Probably wouldn't be in this industry if it weren't for her because she paved the way for so many of us."
"We've been able to look up to her for years and for those to finally have an opportunity to honor her, it means a lot to me and I’m so happy to be a part of it," she added.
Star Trek: Lower Decks actor Paul F. Tompkins pointed out to ET how Nichols' impact was immense in front of and behind the camera.
The actress broke barriers as one of the first Black women to play the lead role in a television series when she made her debut on the series in 1966. During her time on the show, Nichols made history and inspired other Black actors to join the series in future seasons and iterations. Then, following her departure from the role, Nichols was employed by NASA to help encourage women and Black Americans to become astronauts.
"She held the door open for so many on-screen and off. The work that she did with NASA, encouraging young astronauts of color to apply and get involved, I mean, it's rare that you have someone who inspires in both the sciences and the arts," Tompkins said. "I think that’s such a rare and beautiful combination."
He added, "You know, it's incalculable the effect that [representation] has, and you know, even in comedy, we hear from people like that are coming up. It's a really wonderful thing to know that there are people that can see themselves in something and they can then become that thing. It's wonderful."
During the presentations, Gooding introduced the moving video honoring the late Star Trek icon after Tawny Newsome and Tompkins dedicated a moment of silence to Nichols' memory
"On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds it has been my honor to perform the role of Cadet Nyota Uhura," Gooding said. "I stand on Nichelle's shoulders, not only in portraying the character she originated and embodied but in following a path she blazed for Black women and femmes on-screen and off. As I sit on the bridge of the Enterprise I feel her presence, I see her influence in those who knew her and I strive to carry the majestic legacy forward into the future she wanted for all of us."
"Nichelle Nichols was a force to be reckoned with," Dawnn Lewis, who voices Captain Carol Freeman on Star Trek: Lower Decks, said in the tribute.
Other voices featured in the tribute include Newsome, Gooding, Discovery and Star Trek: Picard director Hanelle Culpepper, Mulgrew, Hurd, Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman, and more.
"She's uncompromising in her belief that the stars should be for everybody," Kurtzman said.
"This woman is a true hero," Star Trek: Discovery star Sonequa Martin-Green said. "Her legacy is turning fantasy into fact. Because that's what she did. I hope she knows that she's going to continue to teach me. Forever."

DETROIT — United Auto Workers union members went on strike Saturday at the Stellantis casting plant in Indiana, citing health and safety issues including the company’s alleged refusal to repair and replace the plant’s air conditioning and heating systems.
Stellantis says production had not been scheduled for this weekend and it hoped to resume negotiations as soon as possible on a contract with striking UAW Local 1166.
In a statement, Stellantis said it was committed “to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. After bargaining in good faith for two days and presenting an offer we believed addressed the union’s concerns, we are disappointed by the UAW’s decision to walk out.”
The 1,200-worker plant, Kokomo Casting, is the world’s largest die cast facility, according to Stellantis. It makes aluminum parts for components including transmissions and engine blocks.
The UAW local complained in a statement that Stellantis “claims it has no money to meet its membership’s basic needs while ”making record profits and investing billions in a new battery plant across the street.”
UAW local president David Willis did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. A person who answered the phone at union offices said he was preparing for a resumption in negotiations.
The casting plant is to be retooled to produce engine blocks for hybrid-electric vehicles.
In May, Stellantis announced a $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung to build an electric vehicle battery factory in Kokomo that is to employ 1,400 workers.
Stellantis, formed last year with the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France’s PSA Peugeot, had said it would build two electric vehicle battery factories in North America. The other is slated for Windsor, Ontario.

Canada proclaims Charles king in ceremony in Ottawa
By Steve Scherer
OTTAWA, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Canada proclaimed Charles its king on Saturday in a formal ceremony at the official residence in Ottawa of the governor general, the monarch's representative in Canada who performs the duties of the head of state on behalf of the crown.
Earlier, an Accession Council met at St James's Palace in London to proclaim Charles sovereign. The ceremonies are protocol and formalize the change in head of state.
Charles, 73, automatically became king of the United Kingdom and the head of state of 14 other realms, including Canada, when his mother, Queen Elizabeth, died on Thursday at age 96.
Canada announced a 10-day mourning period for the queen. Although Canada ceased being a colony of Britain in 1867, it remained in the British Empire until 1982, and is still a member of the Commonwealth of former empire countries that have the British monarch as head of state.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon signed an order in council proclaiming the new sovereign after a Cabinet meeting.
Trumpets then announced the exit of Canada's chief herald from the residence. He read the order in council proclaiming the new monarch to the public in both English and French, ending with, "Long live the King!"
The ceremony ended with a 21-gun salute and the armed forces band playing "God Save the King."

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s new monarch is named King Charles III — but that was not inevitable.
Charles Philip Arthur George could have chosen another royal name when he took the throne after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday. While the queen used her first given name, her father, King George VI, was named Albert Frederick Arthur George and called Bertie by friends and family.
Some observers thought the new king might prefer a different name because of the historical baggage associated with the two previous British monarchs called Charles.
KING CHARLES I
King Charles I is the only British sovereign whose rule led to revolution and the temporary abolition of the monarchy.
He took the throne in 1625, and his reign saw a growing power struggle between the crown and Parliament, which sought to limit the king’s powers.
After the king attempted to arrest lawmakers in the House of Commons in 1642, hostilities erupted into the English Civil War, which ended with victory for the parliamentary forces of Oliver Cromwell. Charles was convicted of high treason and beheaded in 1649 outside the Banqueting House in London, just up the street from Parliament.
KING CHARLES II
The son of Charles I spent his youth abroad during Britain's 11 years of rule under Cromwell. He took the throne when the monarchy was restored in 1660.
He had considerably less power than his father had enjoyed. The monarch was stripped of the power to make law without the consent of Parliament. Further reforms in the following decades established that the Crown must accept the will of the democratically elected Parliament, the basis of Britain's constitutional monarchy.
Charles II’s 25-year reign saw the return of public entertainment after the austere years under the Puritan Cromwell, when theaters were shut and Christmas celebrations were banned.
Charles II was nicknamed the “merry monarch” because of his hedonism and many romances. The King Charles Spaniel is named after the dog-loving monarch.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — France, Germany and Britain have urged Iran to agree to a proposed relaunch of the agreement limiting its nuclear program, saying final texts of a deal have been readied but Iran “has chosen not to seize this critical diplomatic opportunity.”
The three European governments said in a joint statement Saturday that Iran has instead raised “separate issues” and “continues to escalate its nuclear program way beyond any plausible civilian justification.”
The statement comes amid efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which eased sanctions on Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear program. The United States unilaterally pulled out of the accord in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump and reimposed sanctions on Iran, prompting Tehran to start backing away from the deal’s terms.
The U.N. atomic watchdog said Wednesday it believes Iran has further increased its stockpile of uranium that is highly enriched to one short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels.
Iran last week sent a written response in negotiations over a final draft of a roadmap for parties to return to the tattered nuclear deal, though the U.S. cast doubt on Tehran’s offer. Neither side elaborated on the contents.

Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohiya) leader Shivpal Singh Yadav on Saturday hinted at the possibility of forming an alliance with the ruling BJP while making it clear that he wouldn’t go with the Samajwadi Party (SP), the party led by his nephew and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
Talking to the media in Prayagraj, Mr. Yadav said, “I want to actively be a part of the 2024 [Lok Sabha] polls and government. Only future will tell whether an alliance with the BJP will happen or not. But I won’t compromise and go back with SP as they have cheated me many times.”
Mr. Yadav, who won the 2022 Assembly election on the SP ticket from Jaswant Nagar, has been targeting the SP and the party president since the State polls, and has sent feelers to the ruling BJP in the recent past by voting in favour of its nominee in the Presidential elections, Droupadi Murmu. After this, the SP issued a letter saying, "Respected Shivpal Singh Yadav Ji, If you think that you will get more respect elsewhere, you are free to go.”
After Mr. Yadav’s recent statement, the BJP said that no official communication had started between the saffron party and the Jaswant Nagar MLA, but it did not rule out the possibility. “As of now, no communication in relation to any alliance with Shivpal Singh Yadav is happening but if any formal proposal comes in future, our Central leadership will take a call,” Rakesh Upadhyay, the BJP U.P. spokesperson, said.
The SP, on whose ticket Mr. Shivpal Yadav stood in the 2022 polls, hoped that he would never compromise with the ruling BJP. “Shivpal Singh Yadav is a committed leader of the socialist tradition since the days of [the late] Mulayam Singh Yadav, hence I don’t think he will ever join hands with the communal forces against whom Mulayam Singh Yadav fought all his life,” Ameeque Jamei, SP’s national spokesperson, said.
The Hindu reached out to Mr. Shivpal Yadav for comments but no response was received.

The Miami-Dade County Public School Board voted Wednesday against making October LGBTQ History Month, reversing its decision to support the annual observance last year.
Board members heard more than four hours of testimony from parents and community members in support of and against initiative H-11, which would recognize October as LGBTQ Month. The board voted 8 to 1 against the item, which was met with applause from audience members.
LGBTQ Month was founded in 1994 by Rodney Wilson, a Missouri high school teacher, who chose October to celebrate and teach gay and lesbian history because schools are in session and it encompasses Coming Out Day, celebrated on Oct. 11.
The month-long observance "provides role models, builds community and makes the civil rights statement about our extraordinary national and international contributions," according to the LGBTQ History Month website.
The month celebrates 31 lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender icons over the course of October. Students learn about prominent figures like Hans Christian Andersen, fairy tale author of "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor's New Clothes" and other children's stories, as well as former WNBA player Sue Bird, who joined her partner, soccer great Megan Rapinoe, as the first openly gay couple to appear on the cover of ESPN's Body Issue.
And though the majority of the school board in Miami was in favor of recognizing LGBTQ History Month last year, the board said the month-long celebration conflicts with Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act. Signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at the end of March, it prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grade.
"My obligation as an elected school board member is one that has to comply with the law that has now changed," said Steve Gallon III, a board member who voted against the measure.
However, WSVN-7 in Miami reported Thursday that the school board's attorney said approving history month would not violate Florida's new law because it doesn't include mandatory instruction.
During the meeting, board member Marta Perez — who recently lost her reelection bid after 24 years on the board — said the Christian Family Coalition, a local faith-based advocacy organization, called on community members to object to LGBTQ History Month.
"It is no secret that this item has gotten more attention than I believe is necessary. I wish all the people that have written us would be as interested in our proficiency scores, our reading, our writing, our academics," Perez said at the meeting. "Unfortunately, I believe, madam chair, terrible scare mongering has happened in this item that is horrible."
When it came time to vote, only Lucia Baez-Geller — who sponsored the measure — supported celebrating LGBTQ History Month. Members of the crowd responded with cheers and applause when the agenda item was shot down.

BERLIN (AP) — Rudy Gobert scored 20 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, and Olympic silver medalist France moved into the EuroBasket quarterfinals by holding off Turkey 87-86 in overtime on Saturday.
Gobert had a putback dunk with 2.7 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, then scored the first four points of overtime, and France never trailed in the extra session.
“Crazy game,” Gobert said.
Crazier finish.
Turkey had what seemed like full control of the game with 12.2 seconds left in regulation. It had the ball, up by two, was going to the foul line for two free throws and would keep possession of the ball after those shots because France had been whistled for an unsportsmanlike foul.
But Cedi Osman missed both shots, a scene reminiscent of when he did the same late in what became a one-point loss to the U.S. at the Basketball World Cup in 2019. France wound up forcing a turnover on the ensuing possession, and Gobert’s dunk tied the game.
“Really tough spot for us, but we got lucky, he missed both,” Gobert said. “Then we were able to steal the out of bounds, get a bucket and get to overtime. We never stopped. We never stopped fighting. We always believed. Obviously, not our best game, but the thing I’m really proud of is the fact that we never gave up. A lot of teams would have given up in that position.”
Thomas Heurtel and Evan Fournier had 13 points apiece for France, which led by 16 midway through the second quarter.
But Turkey closed the third quarter on a 19-0 run, turning an 11-point deficit into a 57-49 lead going into the final 10 minutes of regulation. France missed 11 consecutive shots in that stretch.
Turkey had a chance to win on the final possession of overtime, but Furkan Korkmaz lost his dribble with about 2 seconds left and his team never got a shot off.
Bugrahan Tuncer scored 22 for Turkey, while Korkmaz added 18.
“I don’t know what to say, really,” Tuncer said. “I’m so mad. I’m so sad. If I cannot find any nice words, I’m sorry about it. This is unacceptable.”
France will play the winner of Sunday’s Serbia-Italy game in the quarterfinals. That matchup is scheduled for Wednesday.
“Maybe it’s the worst emotional loss in my 26-year career,” Turkey coach Ergin Ataman said. “Congratulations to France. I hope that they will continue on a good way in the quarterfinals. That’s all.”
SLOVENIA 88, BELGIUM 88
Luka Doncic scored 35 points and defending champion Slovenia used a 17-0 run in the fourth quarter to eliminate Belgium.
Doncic and Goran Dragic combined to score or be credited with assists on Slovenia’s first 40 points of the second half.
“Belgium was playing great basketball,” said Doncic, who is averaging 28 points in six tournament games so far — 39.3 per game in his last three contests. “We knew this was going to be a hard game. They were fighting until the end. But in the end, I think we played a little better.”
Doncic had five rebounds, five assists and four steals for Slovenia, while Klemen Prepelic scored 13, Mike Tobey Finished with 12 and Dragic added 11.
Manu Lecomte scored 16 points and Pierre-Antoine Gillet had a 15-point, 10-rebound game for Belgium.
Slovenia got to the line 25 times, to only eight for Belgium.
“I’m listening for a lot of weeks now, the word ‘equality.’ But equality doesn’t exist in basketball,” Belgium coach Dario Gjergja said.
Next for Slovenia is a quarterfinal game Wednesday, against the winner of the Ukraine-Poland matchup. Those teams will play Sunday.

The scheduled start of several grandstand events may be delayed, Kansas Fair Board advised
It appears the 2022 Kansas State Fair is off to an auspicious start.
The fair has already cleared $1.6 million in ticket sales, General Manager Bryan Schultz advised the fair board Friday morning, with concerts at better than 120% paid for and all grandstand events at 118%.
“Things are really rocking,” Schultz said. “Dirt track events are mainly walk-up, so we’ll pick up some more.”
The Kansas Highway Patrol also recorded its first arrests -- on Thursday night.
“There was a small incident where a couple of people under 21 with beer were in a tent,” said Lt. Dave Golden, the KHP supervisor at the fair. “They tried to run from the police. They were apprehended.”
The pair were over 18 but under 21, Golden said. He had few other details.

Concert changes
Schultz also announced a couple of changes in grandstand start times.
“On the entertainment side, the Fluffy camp (comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias) is requesting everyone going into the grandstand be wanded,” Schultz said, referring to checking patrons with handheld metal detectors used to search for weapons.
“We reached out to Intrust Bank Arena and connected with their team,” he said. “They’re providing 14 people, seven for each of the two entrances, including two supervisors.”
They advised the performer that while they can check for weapons, they can’t prohibit them from coming in because it is a state-sponsored event, Schulz said.
If the booking agency was running the concert instead of the fair, it could prohibit weapons, Schulz said.
“We’re a constitutional carry state,” he said. “You’ll still be able to go inside with a gun if you have one. We tried to explain that to Fluffy management, but they want to know what’s on site.
"We’re sending an email to everyone who bought a ticket to advise them security gate will open at 6 instead of 6:30 so we can get everyone in.”
The Fluffy performance is still set to start at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday.
The State Fair did prohibit firearms at the Billy Currington concert in 2019,
but that was part of the signed contract that the fair agreed to before the show.

The start of the TobyMac concert will be pushed back a half hour, to 8 p.m., at the performer's request because it involves a light show.
“If we start at 7:30, people will miss a lot of it,” Schulz said. “It doesn’t get dark until after 8. We sent an email to everyone who bought tickets so they will know. We’ll still open the doors at 6:30, and we’ll come on stage at 7:30 to tell everyone and apologize but explain they’ll have the best experience possible, and it will give them time to grab some food or beverage."
They expect it to be a 90-minute show, so it should be over by 9:30 or 10 p.m.”
More:Change is brewing at Kansas State Fair with beer and wine OK across site. Here are the rules.
Other notes
The start of mutton busting was also pushed back from 6 to 6:30 p.m., he said, but he didn't explain why.
We're watching the weather and expects rain Saturday afternoon or evening, starting after 4, Schulz said.
“We did purchase cancellation insurance, but we don’t want to use it,” Schulz said. “It starts at 6 p.m. and goes to 10 p.m. It requires a quarter inch of rain (to be triggered.) Fees went up. It was $16,000 last year, and this year it’s $25,000.”
Schulz said they bought the insurance for most of the grandstand concerts but not the dirt track events or Eddy Montgomery, which are “lower tier” events.

In other notes
– The “Rock the Fair” band competition, which starts at 5 p.m., had 500 tickets sold.
-- While entries were light, so to speak, the fair saw its largest pumpkin ever entered, at 1,280 pounds and 8 ounces. “It was grown in somebody’s backyard,” Schulz said.
– The Hutchinson fire department helped The Flying Fools fill their diving pool in record time using a fire hose, which they appreciated, Schulz said. The performers dive from various heights into the 10-foot deep, 26-foot in circumference poset up in Gottschalk Park.
– Fire Chief Steven Beer said they expect, due to the heat and drought, that there will be numerous grass fires on the grounds from people tossing cigarettes, but he didn’t expect any to spread more than a few feet.
“They’ll be small,” he said. “We have a UTV with tanks for brush fires, but they (the fires) won’t go anywhere,” he said.

YORK, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania woman has been sentenced to six to 20 years in prison on charges in the disappearance and apparent death of her husband more than a decade ago — charges based in part on a partial scalp found in a bag along a road.
Hours before jury selection was to begin in her York County trial last week, 71-year-old Virginia Hayden pleaded no contest to third-degree murder and tampering with public records. A no-contest plea spares a defendant from having to acknowledge guilt but is treated as a guilty plea by the court.
Hayden was charged in 2019 with first-degree murder and 65 other criminal counts, including forgery, theft, and receiving stolen property in the disappearance and presumed death of Thomas Hayden Sr., who went missing in the fall of 2011.
Prosecutors say a large section of scalp with hair that appeared to be tied in a ponytail was found along with bloody pieces of cloth in a FoodSaver bag along a road in January 2012. DNA tests didn’t turn up a match then, but the remains were later identified as belonging to Thomas Hayden based on samples provided by his two brothers.
A forensic analysis could not conclude whether Thomas Hayden was dead or alive when his scalp was cut off, but said if he was alive, the act would have resulted in his death. A forensic pathologist testified in 2019 that he likely died of a gunshot wound, based on the state of microscopic bone particles found in the blood with the scalp.
Authorities said Virginia Hayden told police multiple times that Thomas decided to travel to Mexico and never came back, according to charging documents. His body has never been found.
Defense attorneys declined comment Tuesday. Hayden was given credit for 1,227 days she has already served in jail since her arrest in 2019. She still faces a federal trial slated for February on charges of wire fraud and conversion of government funds in connection with more than $100,000 gained from Social Security from 2011 to 2017.

Sophie's grief upon grief: Tearful Countess of Wessex mourns the Queen whom she called 'mama' - 17 years on from the death of her own mother and after bidding an emotional farewell to Duke of Edinburgh last year
- Countess of Wessex, 57, was very close to her mother-in-law the Queen
- Lost own mother Mary Rhys-Jones in 2005, aged 71, when Lady Louise was two
- She was also deeply distraught by the death of Duke of Edinburgh last year

Sophie Wessex was visibly upset today as she stepped out of Balmoral for the first time since it was announced the Queen has died.
Prince Edward's wife, 57, was very close to her mother-in-law, and was known as one of her closest confidantes.
Her Majesty's daughter-in-law was often been noted as the monarch's 'favourite' family member after she married Prince Edward.
Sophie formed close bond with the royal family after losing her own mother, Mary Rhys-Jones, to stomach cancer in 2005 aged 71, when her daughter Lady Louise Windsor was only two.
She was also extremely distraught following the death of the Duke Edinburgh, and became the Queen's 'rock' following his funeral.

She was also extremely distraught following the death of the Duke Edinburgh in 2021 after broke down in tears at his mention during an interview with the BBC last year
Sophie has spoken openly about her grief before, having previously spoken of a tragic miscarriage she suffered in 2001.
Meanwhile in 2005, Sophie lost her mother. The Countess opened up about her mother's death last year during a speech for Women's Institute members at their annual meeting in June 2021.
She said of her other that she missed 'her very much and there are moments where I hear some music she loved or I do something I know she'd have wanted to hear about, which make her early departure very hard.
"She has missed out on so much, and I'm particularly sad that she hasn't seen my children grow up or seen how my work has grown and developed,' she added.

'She would have loved that I am talking to you today,' she added.
At the time of Mrs Rhys-Jones death, a statement from Buckingham Palace said: 'The countess was very close to her mother and this is a very sad time.
'She is being comforted by her husband but she is deeply saddened.'
After her mother's passing, Sophie grew close to the Queen, whom she was heard calling 'mama' on occasion, including at a Diamond Jubilee Trust event at Buckingham Palace in 2019.
In recent years, former aides have previously described the Queen’s relationship with Sophie as ‘like mother and daughter’, adding: ‘There is a great deal of love and mutual respect between them.’
Sophie and The Queen enjoyed a privileged relationship, and the Countess of Wessex was often described as the Monarch's favourite daughter-in-law (pictured at Royal Ascot in 2019)
Sophie became the Monarch's 'rock' following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh in 2021. Pictured at his funeral in Windsor on 17 April of that year)
And in 2021, a tearful Countess described the queen as ‘amazing’ as she and her husband Prince Edward comforted Her Majesty at Windsor Castle following the death of her husband Prince Philip.
Sophie's determination also saw her take on full-time royal duties, and embrace rural pursuits beloved by the royals, such as riding, fishing, shooting game and carriage driving.
In recent years, she has been a rock for the Queen. Speaking in 2021, one friend said: ‘Sophie set herself a series of tasks. She learned how to ride properly and now rides with the Queen at least once a week.
‘She took up carriage-driving to be close to Philip,' they added.
Earlier today, she was seen looking through floral tributes the late monarch with Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice
Prince Edward and Sophie were the first to visit the grieving Monarch after the Duke of Edinburgh's death, and as they left the castle Sophie was visibly upset.
At the time, she was described as one of a group of four who were providing support for the monarch.
‘Sophie is like another daughter to the Queen, they are that close,’ said a Royal source. ‘She is trusted and relied on like few others.’
And speaking in June last year, royal expert Duncan Larcombe told The Sun: 'Sophie has emerged as the Queen’s unlikely "rock" as the monarch adjusts to life without Prince Philip.'
'Prince Edward’s wife has – according to sources – made it her personal mission to ensure Her Majesty is fully supported by the family.
'Since the Duke’s death in April, Sophie has driven the 10 miles from her Bagshot Park home to Windsor Castle every few days and most weekends to spend socially-distanced time with Her Majesty.’
Sophie was seen holding hands with her daughter Lady Louise in Balmoral earlier this afternoon
For the days she couldn’t make it to see the Queen in person, the Countess ‘made a point of calling her mother-in-law at least once a day’.
Sophie looked very sombre on Thursday when she arrived at Balmoral alongside the Duke of Cambridge and Cornwall, Duke of York and Earl of Wessex.
Sophie also went through a traumatic ectopic pregnancy in 2001 which resulted in a tragic miscarriage.
The Countess broke down in tears as she opened up about the death of Prince Philip during an emotional BBC interview.
In the interview, recorded in 2021, the interview Sophie grew increasingly tearful while talking about the Duke of Edinburgh, who she was close to.
She spoke candidly about the photograph she took of the Queen and her father-in-law in Scotland in 2003.
She said: 'We were lucky enough to go to Scotland for half term and I don't know if you remember the photograph I took?
'It was... yes... I was pregnant with Louise at the time and we went up there during half term.'
The Royal was forced to pause as she struggled to hold back the tears as Ms Munchetty asked: 'Are you okay?'
She continued: 'And just to be there, in that place... was an oh my god moment. So I think they'll come and go. But you have to let them come and let them go.
'But just talking to you now it's a bit of an oh my goodness moment which you don't necessarily expect and you don't expect them to come.
'I had the same when I lost my mother. You know I'd be fine, absolutely fine fine fine, then something happened or you'd hear a piece of music or you'd do something then suddenly you would, you know, get taken off at the knees.
'So there will be lots of moments like that but it's good to remember.'
Sophie was struck by tragedy early on in her marriage to Prince Edward, when she suffered a miscarriage as the result of an ectopic pregnancy in 2001.
Prince Edward addressed the press as his wife recovered in hospital at the time, saying: 'It's obviously a very traumatic time and my wife has… It's quite the most painful thing anyone can undergo.
'It's a pretty traumatic experience. As the pain reduces, so the relief will increase. I want to add my thanks to all the medical team who have done a fantastic job and reacted so quickly and have handled things so professionally,' he added.
Sophie and Prince Edward went on to welcome their daughter Lady Louise Windsor, who is now 18, in 2003, and their son James Viscount Severn, 14, in 2007.

Raiders agree to contract extension with TE Darren Waller
By JOSH DUBOW
AP Pro Football Writer
Star tight end Darren Waller has agreed on a three-year contract extension with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said the sides reached the deal on Saturday that adds $51 million to Waller’s existing contract that was previously set to pay him about $7 million in each of the next two seasons.
The reworked deal will pay Waller an average of a little more than $13 million a season through 2026. The new money average of $17 million a year exceeds the top existing deal at the position that pays San Francisco’s George Kittle $15 million per season. Waller had previously had the 18th highest average annual salary at the position.
“Darren Waller is an exemplary teammate in every way, and we’re excited to see him continue to grow as a leader on this team,” Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said in a statement. “Darren brings a tremendous commitment and work ethic to the building every day and we couldn’t be more thrilled that he will be a part of the Raiders family for years to come.”
Waller had two years remaining on the contract he signed during his 2019 breakout season. Waller had been looking for a new deal and changed agents to Rosenhaus last week in hopes of speeding the process along.
The sides were able to come to the agreement the day before the Raiders’ season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Waller is the fourth key player to get a lucrative extension in the past six months from the new regime led by coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler. Las Vegas previously gave deals to defensive end Maxx Crosby, quarterback Derek Carr and receiver Hunter Renfrow.
The move to bring in Waller and lock him up early was one of the best made by former coach Jon Gruden during his three-plus seasons in charge of the Raiders. Waller had been on Baltimore’s practice squad as he tried to get his career on track after being suspended twice for recreational drug use.
The Raiders signed him late in the 2018 season and made him the starter the following year. Since becoming a starter, Waller ranks second in the NFL among all tight ends with 252 catches for 3,006 yards, trailing only Kansas City’s Travis Kelce in both categories. He is also tied for fifth with 14 TD catches the past three years.
Waller, who turns 30 next week, played 11 games last season when he was hampered by ankle and knee injuries. He had 55 catches for 665 yards and two TDs.
The Raiders are counting on Waller to be part of a dynamic passing attack for Carr that includes All-Pro receiver Davante Adams and Renfrow.

How to help create a better country for all
The number of uninsured Americans is at an all-time low, thanks to the generous subsidies in the coronavirus relief bill. And the good news is the Inflation Reduction Act will continue these subsidies. ("Biden bill to help millions escape higher health care costs" by Amanda Seitz, Traverse City Record-Eagle, Aug. 19, 2022)
Still, more than 26 million (including more than 500,000 children) are still uninsured, so there is more to be done.
It's important to elect candidates willing to make sure everyone is insured and end this tragedy in the world’s richest country.
Let’s ask those running for office: What will you do about the multiple crises in America — health insurance, housing, childcare that is still unaffordable for millions?
Then vote for candidates who support solving these crises. That will help create a better country for all.

King Charles III has had a busy first working day following his official accession to the throne this morning.
The newly-proclaimed King has met with government and church leaders in his first official engagements as monarch, less than 48 hours after the Queen's death was announced.
The new King held a meeting with Prime Minister Liz Truss and members of the Cabinet in the 1844 Room at Buckingham Palace.
He also held audiences with opposition leaders and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the Church of England.

The King's meetings with the Prime Minister and senior politicians are famously discreet, with former PMs recalling only the scantest, mainly amusing details in their tributes to the Queen in parliament yesterday.
The King's schedule for today shows he had meetings with the Archbishop of Canterbury at 2pm, with Prime Minister Liz Truss and members of her new cabinet at 2.30pm, and with opposition leaders including Labour's Sir Keir Starmer at 3pm.
The meetings came at half an hour intervals, with the King's last audience in the released schedule at 4pm with the Dean of Westminster.
King Charles shook hands with members of the cabinet including the Deputy Prime Minister Thérèse Coffey and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.

Ms Truss only formed her new cabinet four days ago, with Thérèse Coffey taking the role of Health Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister, Kwasi Kwarteng becoming Chancellor, James Cleverly becoming Foreign Secretay and Suella Braverman Home Secretary.
Opposition leaders also had an audience with the King this afternoon.

The King also spoke to the other opposition leaders on an individual basis.
The BBC's political editor Chris Mason said he expects the King's meetings with leading politicians will be 'more informal than you might expect'.
He added that even for people used to being in the limelight, 'the history of the moment' is not lost on the politicians who met the King today.
Earlier in the day King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, also met with the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby in the 1844 Room.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of the Church of England, and King Charles is now its Supreme Governor, taking over the role from his late mother.
The Archbishop, whose last meeting with the Queen was in June, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday: 'I came away thinking there is someone who has no fear of death, has hope in the future, knows the rock on which she stands and that gives her strength.'
The Archbishop of Canterbury also dryly remarked on his 'fortitude' as he recounted in the Lords the experience of a winter barbecue with the Royal Family at Sandringham.
'You felt that history was in front of you, but it was history with those piercingly blue eyes twinkling, that extraordinary smile and the relishing of a quick dry comment.'

He dryly remarked on his 'fortitude' as he recounted in the Lords the experience of a winter barbecue with the Royal Family at Sandringham.
He also remarked on her 'dry sense of humour', adding: 'The Church of England was very capable of giving her material.'

(The Hill) – King Charles III said that he was “deeply aware” of the inheritance and duties of becoming Britain’s sovereign in Saturday during a speech at St. James’s Palace.
The king was officially proclaimed the sovereign of Britain on Saturday by the Accession Council following the death of of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The council convenes following the death of a monarch to officially proclaim the successor to the throne.
“I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty which have now passed to me,” he said to his audience at St. James’s Palace in London.
The king continued: “In taking up these responsibilities, I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these Islands and of the Commonwealth Realms and Territories throughout the world.”
Charles thanked the Accession Council, the nation and the world for the sympathy given to him and his siblings during their time of mourning following Elizabeth’s death. The queen was 96 at the time of her passing. She is the longest-reigning monarch in Britain’s history, serving seven decades on the throne.
“My Mother’s reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion,” he said. “Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life.”
The king added that his mother “gave an example of lifelong love and of selfless service” to her children as well as the world at large.
“And in carrying out the heavy task that has been laid upon me, and to which I now dedicate what remains to me of my life, I pray for the guidance and help of Almighty God,” he concluded.
Charles gave his first address to the nation as king on Friday, the day following the queen’s death, where he expressed his love and devotion to his mother. He also expressed his love for the Royal Family, including Prince Harry and his wife Meghan.
“May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest,” Charles said of his mother in his Friday speech.

Bryant Young straddled the classic football divide between discipline and ferocity more adeptly than just about any player of his generation.
For every minute of a 14-year NFL career spent entirely with the San Francisco 49ers, Young was a model teammate and a soft-spoken leader who selflessly made everybody around him better.
And for 60 minutes on most autumn Sundays, Young was one of the most intimidating, vicious defensive linemen his teammates and opponents had ever seen.
Young doesn’t see that dichotomy as a contradiction. In fact, he loved the chance to get a little crazy while being a measured, mature man in every other area of his rich life.
“Football is a very chaotic, violent, physical sport,” Young said with a smile. “It’s controlled chaos. You don’t get better and you don’t excel in the game by being this passive, nice individual.”
Yet that’s exactly what Young did as one of the most inspirational players and one of the genuinely nice guys of his NFL era.
In addition to his production and resilience at one of the sport’s most brutal positions, Young’s ability to inspire — both through his play and through his response to unimaginable setbacks on and off the field — finally earned him admission to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, nearly 15 years after his last game.
Typically, Young felt a responsibility when he learned he’ll finally get a gold jacket.
“I want to make sure that I do that well and handle it with care,” Young said. “I want do a great job representing all the members of the brotherhood.”
Young was a model of leadership, production and punishing play, but he wasn’t a flashy attention-grabber on the field or a flamboyant personality away from it.
That’s probably why he waited so long for his enshrinement — and why it might not have happened at all if a group of six offensive linemen hadn’t been rallied together by the 49ers’ former PR director last December to film a video testimonial nudging voters to choose Young.
One of the best three-technique defensive tackles of his era, Young had 89 1/2 sacks and earned four Pro Bowl selections in an era rich with talent at the position. He earned an All-Pro nod in 1996, his most exceptional statistical season with 84 tackles, 11 1/2 sacks and two safeties.
Safety Lance Schulters played his first four NFL seasons alongside Young in San Francisco from 1998 to 2001. Schulters acknowledges he was a trash-talking defensive back who absorbed several lessons about professionalism and accountability from the taciturn Young.
“He didn’t speak a lot, but when he spoke, you’d better shut the hell up and pay attention,” Schulters said. “I learned from his toughness and mental fortitude, from his study habits — he would be the first guy in there, last guy to leave. Always on top of his game, taking care of his body. And then in the game, how he controlled and rag-dolled those guards, you couldn’t believe it. He’s an awesome teammate. I love BY.”
The 50-year-old Young seemingly has been a throwback for his whole life.
Young grew up in blue-collar Chicago Heights with two older brothers and a father who worked for the Ford Motor Company. Although he didn’t play football until his freshman year at Bloom High School — initially thinking he would be a fullback — his talent eventually got him to Notre Dame.
He was a three-year starter for Lou Holtz’s Fighting Irish, becoming a team captain, a determined leader — and eventually, the second defensive lineman chosen in the 1994 draft.
Young went seventh overall to the 49ers, who traded up to add young talent to an already outstanding team coming off two straight NFC championship game appearances. Young was the bridge to the future for a defense stocked with veteran talent including Dana Stubblefield, Rickey Jackson, Ken Norton Jr., Tim McDonald, Merton Hanks and Deion Sanders.
San Francisco won it all in his rookie season, with Young starting the Super Bowl victory over San Diego. Although the Niners never got back to the Super Bowl during Young’s career, they remained a consistent winning team until his final seasons.
Young calls it “a huge blessing” to play for just one team: “I know that most people don’t get the opportunity to finish their career where they started, so I don’t take that lightly.”
The biggest challenge of Young’s career arose late in the 1998 season when his left shin was grotesquely broken by Norton’s helmet. Young spent more than two weeks in the hospital and needed extensive surgery just to save his leg from complications.
Schulters was a rookie that season. Like the rest of Young’s teammates, he was amazed by Young’s comeback for the 1999 season opener. Young was the obvious choice as the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year after a dominant 11-sack campaign.
“I was in awe,” Schulters said. “We were all like, ‘Sit down somewhere!’ But no. BY was in there. I didn’t know how you could mentally do it. To have that happen to your body, to just deal with it, and then to come back the next season? That was incredible.”
After retiring in 2007, Young moved to North Carolina with his wife, Kristin, and their six children. He has also coached defensive lines for San Jose State, Notre Dame, Florida and the Atlanta Falcons.
The Youngs also endured the unimaginable pain of losing their son, 15-year-old Colby, to pediatric brain cancer in 2016. Bryant Young handled the tragedy with the same maturity and quiet strength that has been the foundation of his entire life, and he emerged with a determination to continue a lifetime of selflessness and leadership.
“For the young guys, the advice that I would give them is this: Never, never be content,” Young said. “Always find an opportunity to get better and move forward. There’s always work to be done. Don’t get encased in being one way. There’s always opportunities when you remain open and you remain teachable. Keep your eyes focused on what’s ahead, and always be open to improve.”

Furthermore, you need to take care of your finances. If your facility is financially robust, you won’t have problems running the daily operations and expanding your business down the road. However, chiropractic billing can be quite complex. Thus, availing of chiropractic medical billing services from an expert practice management solution like Park Medical Billing will significantly help you improve revenue cycle management for increased profit margins.

Turning obstacles into opportunities with diversified health care perspectives
I have experienced a wide spectrum of the health care ecosystem since childhood giving me a deeper insight into its future need. I suffered for 23 years with a wrong diagnosis and frequent long-distance hospital visits before my heart operation. For 14 years, I shifted through multiple doctors and hospitalizations for my father’s mismanaged diabetic complications, including a foot ulcer with cellulitis. My academic mentor said, “Your father himself is a Harrison’s medicine book,” due to his classical textbook complications.

Pandemic aid helped families’ nutrition and well-being — report
Temporary increases in federal aid during the COVID-19 pandemic had a “highly positive impact on overall family well-being” and made it easier for low-income families to afford sufficient and healthy food, according to two reports released on Tuesday by Hunger Free America.

Op-Ed: Social scores are invading health care
When the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system replaced paper medical charts, critics worried about personal data privacy. A dozen years later, doctors and nurses are recording non-medical social codes as part of the EHR, and those extraordinarily subjective codes will likely have a decisive impact on how much of the $4 trillion the United States currently spends on health care will be diverted to social and environmental causes.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — The stepmother of a New Hampshire girl who vanished in 2019 at age 5 was arrested Friday after she failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing.
Kayla Montgomery, 32, was arrested at a home in Manchester. An arrest warrant was issued for her Thursday after she did not show up at a hearing on charges against her, including that she lied to state health officials about having Harmony Montgomery in her care.
Kayla Montgomery had pleaded not guilty and was out on bail. A message seeking comment was sent to her attorney.
“It is anticipated that Ms. Montgomery will be held pursuant to the warrant issued yesterday by the Superior Court until the Court schedules and conducts a hearing next week on the arrest,” the attorney general’s office said in a news release.
Investigators said last month that they believe Harmony was killed in Manchester in December 2019. Her case has prompted widespread outpouring of support, including vigils and social media sites.
Her father, Adam Montgomery, 31, was indicted in March on an assault charge alleging that he struck Harmony in the face in July 2019. He pleaded not guilty.

Advertising and Digital Campaign Educates the Public on the Essential Role of Truck Drivers as Highway Heroes; Promotes Recruitment
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trucking Moves America Forward (TMAF), the industry-wide education and image movement, is thanking America's professional truck drivers during their annual #ThankATrucker campaign during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, September 11-17, 2022.
The campaign, which encompasses outdoor, broadcast and digital advertising, educates the motoring public on the essential job of the truck driver as a highway hero, and trucking's overall contributions to American communities and the nation's economy. It also shines a light on the jobs available within trucking as the industry faces a projected annual driver shortage of 60,000-80,000 drivers over the next decade.
"TMAF is proud to host our annual #ThankATrucker campaign to thank America's truck drivers for their continuous work – not just during NTDAW, but every day," said Kevin Burch, co-chairman of TMAF and Vice President of Government Affairs and Sales at MTS. "America's trucking industry has navigated many challenges this past year, including a bottleneck supply chain and increased consumer demand. Despite challenges, truck drivers remain on the front lines, delivering all the essential goods that our communities rely on to keep the country supplied and the economy moving forward."
As part of the annual billboard advertisement campaign, TMAF partnered with state trucking associations and organizations to display personalized billboards along highways and freeways in a couple dozen markets across the country. The state trucking associations and organizations selected from multiple designs or customized their own message to display on the billboards. Themes included: "Essential (before it was cool)," "Heroes," and "Want to Make an Impact? Consider a Career in Trucking." All billboard themes called on Americans to #ThankATrucker.
The billboards can be seen on highways in Bentonville, Clarksville, Forrest City and North Little Rock, Ark.; Northern Idaho; Ft. Wayne, Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Ind.; Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, Iowa; Louisville, Ky.; Alexandria, Houma – Thibodaux, Lafayette, Monroe and Shreveport, La.; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn.; Buffalo and Latham, N.Y.; Las Vegas and Reno, Nev.; Dayton, Ohio; Memphis and Knoxville, Tenn.; Houston, Corpus Christi and San Antonio, Texas, and Blackstone and Keysville, Va.
As part of the education campaign, TMAF will be thanking truck drivers and sharing need-to-know industry facts on the radio airwaves on Red Eye Radio, Westwood One Sports and Westwood One talk radio programs. TMAF's social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok will display educational graphics and messages as part of the campaign.

BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated by millions of people on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year, the day falls on September 10.
The Mid-autumn festival is not just about family reunions. It's also about the joy of harvesting, romance and the harmony between humans and nature.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of seasonal customs in autumn, and most of the festival elements it contains have ancient origins. An essential part of the festival celebration is moon worship. In ancient agrarian societies, people believed that the moon's operation was closely related to agricultural production and seasonal changes, so the Moon Festival became a critical ritual activity.
Since ancient times, there have been many legends about the moon in China. For the Chinese, the moon is symbolized as being holy, pure and noble. Over tens of thousands of poems describing the moon have been recorded.
There are many interesting stories explaining the origin of the festival. The story of Chang'e and Hou Yi is the most widely accepted by Chinese people. Long ago there was a beautiful lady, Chang'e, whose husband was a brave archer, Hou Yi. But one day she drank a bottle of elixir that made her immortal to honor her husband's instructions to keep it safe. Then she was separated from her beloved husband, floating up into the sky, and finally landing on the moon, where she lives to this day.
In modern times the festival has evolved to the point where eating mooncakes has become a custom throughout China. Folk customs feature a series of festive activities such as moon viewing with families, guessing lantern riddles, carrying brightly lit lanterns, performing dragon and lion dances and more.
CMG's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala
Presented by China Media Group (CMG), the annual gala, also known as Qiuwan in Chinese, began at 8 p.m. Beijing Time on September 10 and lasted over two hours, presenting a creative and excellent extravaganza to audiences from all over the world.
The gala was divided into three chapters, started with Kunqu Opera and Pingtan (a regional musical/oral performance art). It presented a unique "Suzhou-style Mid-Autumn Festival" show with the cultural characteristics of waterfront towns south of the Yangtze River.
The gala featured an all-star cast. In Jiyang Lake Park at Zhangjiagang of Jiangsu Province, the main venue, Chinese stars including Li Yugang, Huang Ling and Na Ying staged various styles of songs. Among the many moon-themed songs were new renditions of traditional Chinese poetry of the great poets of the past.
Shenzhou-14 taikonauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe spent the first ever "Mid-Autumn Festival in Space" on China's space station. The three taikonauts recorded an exclusive video for the gala, sending their Mid-Autumn wishes and a "lucky star" to the Chinese people worldwide.
As an annual event that unites Chinese people worldwide, CMG's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala has attracted widespread attention from domestic and international media since its official announcement.
Over the Moon – CGTN's Mid-Autumn Festival Live Show
On the day of the festival, CGTN also brought the "Over the Moon – Mid Autumn Festival Live Show" to global audiences to showcase the vigor and charm of traditional Chinese culture from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Live Show strung together a series of featured programs including The Chat Room, VIBE's Mid-Autumn special edition, Mid-Autumn Night in Dunhuang, and CMG's Mid-Autumn Festival gala.
For thousands of years, the full moon and the reunion have been the consistent themes of the Mid-Autumn Festival, along with sipping tea, reciting poems, talking about different traditions in various countries, enjoy the "moon" and even interacting with "the jade rabbit" in the XR virtual scene and travel through ancient and modern times to celebrate the festival; the six-hour-long live show featured some of the best Mid-Autumn Festival programs and videos produced by CGTN and advanced audiovisual technology.

Ministry Marks the Successful Start of Global Sales and Marketing Missions
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation (BMOTIA) this week, 7 September, hosted the first in a series of Global Sales and Marketing Missions at venues across Fort Lauderdale designed to further promote The Bahamas as a leading tourism destination and paved a path towards continued tourism recovery.
A delegation led by the Honourable I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation, participated in a lineup of productive meetings with key stakeholders from across the tourism industry, culminating in a culturally-inspired evening event at the Broward Center for The Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale.
During a tour of the newly named Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove, DPM Cooper was presented with a key to the City of Miami by Congresswoman Fredricka Wilson — a Bahamian descendent leading the charge to preserve the history and contribution of Bahamians, who were the city's first settlers.
Joined by destination representatives, hotel partners and BMOTIA executives, DPM Cooper and Acting Director General, Latia Duncombe, hosted 150 sales representatives and industry partners and some 20 media and influencers at the evening event. Guests were transported to The Bahamas via picturesque digital displays of the beautiful Bahama islands, promotional videos highlighting the offerings of the 16 island destinations, a three-course sit down dinner featuring a Bahamian inspired menu, and an electrifying Junkanoo performance. A live Q+A panel highlighted The Bahamas' steadily growing tourism numbers for key industry leaders, sales and trade representatives, stakeholders and media in attendance.
"All of our markets are critical to our success as we strive to reach pre-pandemic tourism arrivals," said Duncombe.
"We have daily airlift coming from Florida and it's extremely important for us to show how easy it is to get to and through the islands of The Bahamas. Whether it's boating fishing, diving, or the MICE market, there are significant opportunities here in Florida — just 50 miles away. We are reengaging our trade and media partners as part of our strategy to double stopover visitors across our 16 island destinations.
"We know it's not always possible for key industry sales and media representatives to visit our beautiful islands -- so it is important for us to bring a taste of The Bahamas directly to them to ensure the destination remains top of mind in a very competitive landscape."
The series of events will continue onto Orlando, Florida, 8 Sept., followed by New York City, New York, later this month. Further stops in North America include Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Los Angeles, California, followed by cities across Canada.
In addition to major travel hubs throughout the U.S. and Canada, the delegation will be heading to Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates to bring a taste of Bahamian culture directly to key international markets across the globe to inspire travel to the destination.
ABOUT THE BAHAMAS
The Bahamas has over 700 islands and cays, as well as 16 unique island destinations. Located only 50 miles off the coast of Florida, it offers a quick and easy way for travellers to escape their everyday. The island nation also boasts world-class fishing, diving, boating and thousands of miles of the Earth's most spectacular beaches for families, couples and adventurers to explore.

NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe engaged in a high-level, high-energy spectacle of a back-and-forth semifinal at the U.S. Open — no point over when it seemed to be, no ball out of reach, no angle too audacious.
One sequence was so stuffed with “What?! How?!” moments by both men that Arthur Ashe Stadium spectators were on their feet before it was over and remained there, clapping and carousing, while watching a replay on the video screens.
Ultimately, enough of the winners went Alcaraz’s way, and too many of the mistakes came from Tiafoe’s racket. And so it was Alcaraz who surged into his first Grand Slam final — and, in the process, gave himself a chance to become No. 1 at age 19 — by ending Tiafoe’s run at Flushing Meadows with a 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3 victory on Friday night.
“It was so electric. I mean, the tennis definitely matched the hype of the match. Unbelievable shot-making, gets, extending points, crazy shots … at crazy times,” Tiafoe said. “Yeah, I was getting riled up.”
Alcaraz appeared to seize control by grabbing nine of 10 games in one stretch and could have ended the evening when he held a match point in the fourth set. But Tiafoe, who is ranked 26th, saved it and soon was yelling, with some colorful language mixed in for emphasis, “I’m putting my heart on the line!” Soon after that, Tiafoe was forcing a fifth set by improving to a U.S. Open-record 8-0 in tiebreakers.
Still, Alcaraz showed no signs of fatigue despite playing a third five-setter in a row — including a 5-hour, 15-minute quarterfinal win that ended at 2:50 a.m. on Thursday, the latest finish in tournament history — and was better when he needed to be, taking four of the last five games.
“I feel great right now,” Alcaraz said nearly two hours after beating Tiafoe, then added: “I mean, a little bit tired.”
Now No. 3 Alcaraz will face No. 7 Casper Ruud for the championship Sunday with so much on the line: The winner will become a major champion for the first time and lead the rankings next week.
“It’s amazing to be able to fight for big things,” Alcaraz said.
Alcaraz and Tiafoe were both making their major semifinal debuts and offered an exceptionally entertaining performance for a little more than a set, and a little more than an hour, at the start, then again for the latter portion of the fourth and the beginning of the fifth.
Tiafoe, a 24-year-old from Maryland who eliminated 22-time Grand Slam champ Rafael Nadal in the fourth round, played to a sellout crowd of more than 23,000 that included former first lady Michelle Obama, often asking for — and receiving — more noise. No surprise, given he was the first American man in the semifinals at Flushing Meadows in 16 years.
“I feel I let you goys down,” Tiafoe said during an unusual chance for a match’s loser to address the crowd in an on-court interview. “This one hurts. This one really, really hurts.”
Alcaraz, who’s from Spain, is popular around the world, widely recognized as a future star of the sport, and he is now the youngest U.S. Open men’s finalist from any country since Pete Sampras won the trophy at 19 in 1990.
When Alcaraz went up 2-0 in the fourth, spectators regaled him with a soccer-style song of “Olé, Olé, Olé! Carlos!”
“People love to see that guy play, so they were getting behind him, too,” Tiafoe said. “Obviously I would have loved to win tonight, but I think tennis won tonight. I think the crowd got what they expected. I just wish I was the one who got the ‘W.’”
Afterward, Alcaraz spoke first in English, then in Spanish, telling his supporters that they helped him fight for “every point, every ball.” He tapped his chest as he said this was “for my family, for my team, for me, for all of you.”
During the day’s first semifinal, which featured a 55-shot point to end the first set, folks called out the winner’s last name — “Ruuuuud!” — and it sounded as if they were booing, rather than saluting. Ruud won that lengthy rally and built an early lead and route to beating Karen Khachanov 7-6 (5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2.
“Towards the end,” Ruud, a 23-year-old from Norway, said about the longest point of this U.S. Open, “the pulse was getting very high and the legs were almost shaking.”
Either Ruud, the runner-up to Nadal at the French Open in June, will make a six-place jump that represents the biggest move ever to No. 1 or Alcaraz will become the youngest man to get to the ATP’s top spot since the computerized rankings began in 1973.
There were so many memorable exchanges and scenes between Tiafoe and Alcaraz. One arrived in the second set’s third game, when Alcaraz saved a break point and went on to hold. A smiling Tiafoe jokingly climbed over the net to Alcaraz’s side, as if to go shake hands at match’s end.
If this semifinal had, indeed, concluded right then and there, no one could have complained about the product. It would proceed for a total of 4 hours, 19 minutes.
They wore matching shirts — red in front, white in back, burgundy on the side — and were every bit each other’s equal for lengthy stretches, including until 6-all in the opening tiebreaker.
Alcaraz, who by then already had saved four set points, offered up a fifth by sending a backhand wide, then made converting that one easy for Tiafoe by double-faulting. As the crowd roared, Alcaraz hung his head, walked to his sideline seat and smacked his equipment bag with his racket.
He regrouped and broke to go up in the second set, and a pivotal juncture arrived with Alcaraz serving at 5-3 but facing a break point. He snapped a cross-court forehand winner to erase that chance for Tiafoe, which began a run in which Alcaraz grabbed 11 consecutive points and 19 of 22 to own that set and a 4-0 lead in the third.
As on that forehand, Alcaraz often rips the ball with abandon — and, somehow, with precision, too, aiming for the lines and finding them. He won no fewer than three first-set points with shots that caught the outer edge of the white paint with no margin to spare.
After one, Tiafoe went over for a little light-hearted exchange with Alcaraz’s coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 2003 French Open champion who briefly was No. 1 himself. Yet make no mistake: Alcaraz is not some hang-back baseliner. He has a varied, all-court game and showed off his skills by winning points via acrobatic volleys, feathered drop shots and perfectly parabolic lobs.
Other than that lull in the second and third sets, and late in the fifth, Tiafoe was exceptional, too, and having the time of his life all the while.
“I’m going to be back,” Tiafoe said, “and I will win this thing one day.”

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Bharti has warned that the prevailing regional and caste imbalances in the State could lead to conflict if unresolved.
“I have been telling [Chief Minister] Shivraji [Singh Chouhan] from the very beginning that the caste balance in governance and administration is disturbed,” she said. When Mr. Chouhan’s Cabinet was expanded, she had said that the Gwalior and Rewa divisions were getting neglected and that the there was disparity between various groups when it came to participation in administration, Ms. Bharti added.
“This inequality will flare up in various forms and may lead to anarchy,” she said. The former Chief Minister also advocated reservation for the poorer section of the upper castes in private sector and advocated reservations for SC-ST and OBCs in the private sector as well.
ADVERTISEMENT
A day later, Congress’ State president and another former Chief Minister, Kamal Nath, said that Ms. Bharti’s claim reflected the reality in the State which was socially diverse. He also invited Ms. Bharti to join Congress’ ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Pressure tactic
While Ms. Bharti is known to often take on her own party’s government on various issues, soucres in the BJP said it was more a pressure tactic to have a greater say in organisational and cabinet posts in the coming days than a crusade for social justice.
“How can she say that the Gwalior region is neglected when it has the most number of ministers in the cabinet (Mr. Chouhan leads a cabinet of 30-odd ministers). Because the government was formed with Mr. Jyotiraditya Scindia’s supporter MLAs who crossed over, they had to be given ministerial berths. All of them hail from the Gwalior region,” said a BJP source.
The source also contested the claims on caste imbalance in the cabinet, pointing out that several senior and powerful ministers in Mr. Chouhan’s cabinet, such as Bhupendra Singh and Mohan Yadav hailed from the OBC community. However, in the current government, Home Minister Narottam Mishra, a Brahmin, has emerged as the face of the Cabinet while the party’s State unit is also led by V D Sharma, another Brahmin, points a Congress source.
While OBCs constitute well over half of Madhya Pradesh’s electorate, the various sub-groups exhibit different pattern of voting. Ms. Bharti, as well as Mr. Chouhan, are both OBCs, with the former representing the strong Lodhi community.
Last month, ex-MLA Pritam Lodhi — a distant relative of Ms. Bharti who is also seen as a key political aide — was suspended from the BJP over his alleged anti-Brahmin remarks. Since then, he has been touring the Gwalior-Chambal region and is trying to bring together OBCs, SCs and STs on the same platform. His programmes have drawn crowds and such a social alliance is expected to antagonise the upper caste voters, leaving the BJP in a catch-22 situation, believes a section of the party.
During her press conference, Ms. Bharti asked the Brahmin community to forgive Mr. Lodhi for his earlier remarks and emphasised on the importance of restrained language while expressing one’s views, she also recalled Mr. Lodhi’s long association with the BJP and “the sacrifices made by him”. Sections of the BJP believe that the party not appearing to be on the same page on such issues could be bad optics, with the 2023 election inching closer.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Get ready for at least a few more months of uncertainty about Lamar Jackson and his contract.
Baltimore general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement Friday that the Ravens and Jackson still haven’t agreed on an extension for the star quarterback and will keep working on it after the season. Jackson had said Friday was his deadline for a new deal, and he’d be pausing talks after that with the season about to start.
“Despite best efforts on both sides, we were unable to reach a contract extension with Lamar Jackson,” DeCosta said. “We greatly appreciate how he has handled this process and we are excited about our team with Lamar leading the way. We will continue to work towards a long-term contract after the season, but for now we are looking forward to a successful 2022 campaign.”
Jackson is entering his fifth-year option season. The Ravens open Sunday on the road against the New York Jets.
Jackson skipped voluntary OTAs this past offseason but did not hold out of mandatory practices. Baltimore can use the franchise tag to keep him after this season if need be, but this impasse between Jackson and the team is noteworthy after Josh Allen — another star quarterback drafted the same year as Jackson — signed his massive extension some 13 months ago.
“Those things will work themselves out in the end. I’m confident in that,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said at the team’s practice facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. “I said at the beginning that it will happen when it’s time, and when it’s time, it will happen. So, Lamar is playing quarterback, he’s going to be playing quarterback here for a long time.”
Jackson spoke with reporters Wednesday, when time was running out to reach a deal before the season. He and the team have avoided any real public acrimony through this process.
“He and I talked about it yesterday a little bit, like, ‘Hey, man, let’s go be our best, and go focus on football,’” Harbaugh said. “That’s what he’s been doing all along, so I know nothing will change with that.”
The non-exclusive franchise tag for quarterbacks this past offseason carried a price tag of just under $30 million. No team used it on a quarterback, and no team used the more restrictive exclusive tag on anyone.
Even aside from his uncertain contract, Jackson is under a microscope this season. At times in 2021, he looked like the player who was the league’s MVP two years earlier. At other times, he struggled to handle the pass rush.
He eventually missed the final four games following an ankle injury. Baltimore finished the season on a six-game skid and missed the playoffs.
NOTES: The Ravens ruled out DT Travis Jones (knee) and listed T Ronnie Stanley (ankle) as doubtful for Sunday’s game. RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) and CB Marcus Peters (knee) are questionable.

The GHMC has cleared close to 7,500 metric tonnes of garbage from various parts of the city on Saturday, post the Ganesh idol immersion festivities on Friday. This is about 1,000 MT more than the quantity of waste collected by the civic body on normal days.
More than 10,000 sanitation workers formed into Ganesh Action Teams and toiled day and night in three shifts to clear the trash from the procession routes, and also at the immersion points. Ninety-seven more vehicles were pressed into service over and above the 330 regular vehicles which carried away the waste generated from immersion to the solid waste processing facility at Jawaharnagar.
Twenty-seven more excavator machines in addition to the 40 regular ones were deployed to lift the debris and garbage and dump them in the trucks.

Immersion of Ganesh idols which began on Friday, continued on Saturday too, resulting in traffic issues across the city. The line of truck-trolleys carrying the idols towards the immersion points at Hussainsagar extended up to Basheerbagh even at the daybreak on Saturday.
Delayed inordinately on Friday due to rain, the processions from various parts of the city continued to arrive at the immersion points till dawn, and late too. A few pandals moved the idols on Saturday, as Friday was considered inauspicious.
According to data shared by GHMC, up to 3 p.m. on Saturday, over 89,500 idols were immersed in the artificial ponds created by the civic body for the purpose of immersion. They were all idols below the height of three feet.
GHMC did not have data of the larger idols immersed in Hussainsagar from its three sides, namely NTR Marg, Tank Bund and Necklace Road, while the police too kept mum about it.
Officials, however, confirmed that about 2,500 idols of more than three feet in height were lowered into the Saroornagar Tank, also known as Mini Tank Bund. There is no count of the idols immersed in lakes across the city and peripheries. According to official sources, the ban on immersion of idols made of Plaster of Paris was not adhered to at any lake.
A total 280 cranes — 130 of them mobile — worked day and night in lifting the idols from pandals and setting them down in lakes/ponds.

Advertising and Digital Campaign Educates the Public on the Essential Role of Truck Drivers as Highway Heroes; Promotes Recruitment
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trucking Moves America Forward (TMAF), the industry-wide education and image movement, is thanking America's professional truck drivers during their annual #ThankATrucker campaign during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, September 11-17, 2022.
The campaign, which encompasses outdoor, broadcast and digital advertising, educates the motoring public on the essential job of the truck driver as a highway hero, and trucking's overall contributions to American communities and the nation's economy. It also shines a light on the jobs available within trucking as the industry faces a projected annual driver shortage of 60,000-80,000 drivers over the next decade.
"TMAF is proud to host our annual #ThankATrucker campaign to thank America's truck drivers for their continuous work – not just during NTDAW, but every day," said Kevin Burch, co-chairman of TMAF and Vice President of Government Affairs and Sales at MTS. "America's trucking industry has navigated many challenges this past year, including a bottleneck supply chain and increased consumer demand. Despite challenges, truck drivers remain on the front lines, delivering all the essential goods that our communities rely on to keep the country supplied and the economy moving forward."
As part of the annual billboard advertisement campaign, TMAF partnered with state trucking associations and organizations to display personalized billboards along highways and freeways in a couple dozen markets across the country. The state trucking associations and organizations selected from multiple designs or customized their own message to display on the billboards. Themes included: "Essential (before it was cool)," "Heroes," and "Want to Make an Impact? Consider a Career in Trucking." All billboard themes called on Americans to #ThankATrucker.
The billboards can be seen on highways in Bentonville, Clarksville, Forrest City and North Little Rock, Ark.; Northern Idaho; Ft. Wayne, Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Ind.; Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, Iowa; Louisville, Ky.; Alexandria, Houma – Thibodaux, Lafayette, Monroe and Shreveport, La.; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn.; Buffalo and Latham, N.Y.; Las Vegas and Reno, Nev.; Dayton, Ohio; Memphis and Knoxville, Tenn.; Houston, Corpus Christi and San Antonio, Texas, and Blackstone and Keysville, Va.
As part of the education campaign, TMAF will be thanking truck drivers and sharing need-to-know industry facts on the radio airwaves on Red Eye Radio, Westwood One Sports and Westwood One talk radio programs. TMAF's social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok will display educational graphics and messages as part of the campaign.

HISTORY has been made for the Philippines as Alex Eala ruled the 2022 US Open Girls Singles.
The 17-year-old Filipino ace thrashed Juniors World No. 3 Lucie Havlickova of Czech Republic, 6-2, 6-4, to dominate the final round of the juniors singles circuit on Sunday midnight (Manila time), at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center, New York City, USA.
Alex Eala rules 2022 US Open Girls Singles
This is by far the best finish by any Filipino netter in a singles Grand Slam. Eala surpassed her personal best of a semifinals finish at the 2020 French Open, and Felix Barrientos’ feat of a semis as well back in 1985.
For her personal record, this is already her third Grand Slam honors, having won the 2020 Australian Open Doubles with Priska Nugroho, and 2021 French Open Doubles with Oksana Selekhmeteva.
Sweet start
After a long rally in the fourth game, Eala broke off from 2-2, gaining her momentum to take consecutive games: fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth to finish the first set swift and strong, 6-2.
In the following set, Havlickova attempted to fight back after Eala’s first pointer, taking control at 2-1, then 3-2, and 4-3, before Eala managed to tie at 4-4, and regained her thrust, winning the ninth and tenth games with Havlickova backhand error to seal Eala victory, 6-4, without dropping a set.
The match lasted for an hour and eight minutes.
For the record, Eala is 3-of-3 on all her finals appearance in the Grand Slams. She’s won everytime she stepped on the title match.

The death of the 96-year-monarch after 70 years on the throne set in train https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/britains-king-charles-address-nation-mourning-2022-09-09 long-established and highly choreographed plans for days of national mourning and a state funeral.
Elizabeth's coffin will leave her Scottish estate on Sunday and be driven by hearse through remote highland villages to Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, pausing during its six-hour journey to allow people to pay their respects.
The coffin will then be flown to London on Tuesday where it will remain at Buckingham Palace before being taken to Westminster Hall to lie-in-state until the funeral at Westminster Abbey at 1000 GMT on Sept. 19.
The death of Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, has prompted an outpouring of tributes around the globe. Buildings and landmarks in Europe, America and Africa have been lit up in the red, white and blue of the United Kingdom's flag.
Charles, 73, immediately succeeded https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/process-by-which-charless-accession-throne-is-formalised-2022-09-08 his mother but an Accession Council met at St James's - the most senior royal palace in the United Kingdom built for Henry VIII in the 1530s - to proclaim him as king on Saturday.
The council - formed of Privy Counsellors whose centuries-old role has been to advise the monarch - included his son and heir William, wife Camilla and Britain's new prime minister, Liz Truss, who signed the proclamation of his accession.
Six former prime ministers, senior bishops and a swathe of politicians cried out "God Save The King" as the announcement was approved.
"I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty which have now passed to me," Charles https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/challenges-facing-britains-new-king-charles-2022-09-10 said.
"In taking up these responsibilities, I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these islands and of the Commonwealth realms and territories throughout the world."
Later, on the Proclamation Gallery, a balcony above Friary Court of St James's Palace, the Garter King of Arms, David White, accompanied by others in gold and red heraldic outfits read out the Principal Proclamation, as trumpets sounded.
Soldiers in traditional scarlet uniforms shouted "hip, hip, hurrah" as White called for three cheers for the king.
Watching on were a few hundred people allowed into the court, including small children on parents' shoulders, a woman clutching flowers and elderly people on mobility scooters. Many capturing the moment on their smartphones.
ROYAL POMP
Charles is the 41st monarch in a line that traces its origins to the Norman King William the Conqueror who captured the English throne in 1066. Saturday's events reflected proclamations announcing new kings and queens that date back hundreds of years.
It was the first proclamation of a monarch to be televised. And for most Britons, it was the first such event in their lifetime as Elizabeth was the only monarch they have ever known. Charles himself was just three when she became queen in 1952.
Britain has declared a period of mourning until the state funeral for Elizabeth, which will be a public holiday.
Leaders from around the world are expected in London for the funeral, including U.S. President Joe Biden, who said on Friday he would attend.
Charles' coronation as king will take place at a later date - and the timing for that is not yet clear. There was a 16-month gap between Elizabeth becoming queen and her coronation in 1953.
Elizabeth, who was 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.
Over the decades she witnessed a seismic change in the social, political and economic structure of her nation. She won praise for modernising the monarchy during her long reign, despite intense media scrutiny and the often highly public travails of her family.
"My grandmother famously said that grief was the price we pay for love," Prince William, Charles's eldest son and now the heir, said in a statement. "All of the sadness we will feel in the coming weeks will be testament to the love we felt for our extraordinary queen."
