Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose pull out of BMW PGA Championship
Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose withdrew from the BMW PGA Championship before Saturday's second round of the DP World Tour event.
The tournament was shortened to 54 holes following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. It is being played at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England.
Rose, who shot a first-round 73, cited a back injury as his reason for pulling out of the event.
Garcia didn't give a reason. However, he was captured by television cameras in Austin, Texas, where he joined Masters champion Scottie Scheffler on the sidelines before kickoff of Saturday's marquee game between Texas and No. 1 Alabama.
Garcia has had issues with the DP World Tour this summer after joining the LIV Golf Series, threatening to quit the DP World Tour before backing off.
Garcia is scheduled to play next week at the LIV event at Rich Harvest Farms near Chicago.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Planned Parenthood leaders from 24 states gathered in California’s capital Friday to begin work on a nationwide strategy to protect and strengthen access to abortion, a counteroffensive aimed at pushing back against restrictions that have emerged in more than half of the country after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Their goal is to emulate the success liberals have had in California, where state lawmakers passed some of the most robust abortion protections in the country this year, culminating in a statewide election this fall that would make abortion a constitutional right in the nation’s most populous state.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, speaking to a group of 25 leaders in a hotel conference room in Sacramento, with another 30 watching online, said abortion advocates could channel what he called the “ruthless energy” of anti-abortion advocates — “but not as a way to hurt people.”
“Anti-freedom states have been playing the long game. They have successfully led a ruthless, coordinated siege on reproductive freedom,” Bonta said. “It’s time that we play that game as well.”
But duplicating California’s results in the rest of the country won’t be easy. California’s government is dominated by Democrats who support abortion access and rushed to support new legislation this year after the court overturned the landmark 1973 decision that effectively legalized abortion nationwide.
In Washington, while Democratic President Joe Biden supports abortion, Democrats hold narrow majorities in the House and Senate — advantages that could be wiped out after the midterm elections in November.
Even if Democrats retain control of the U.S. Senate, they likely still would not have enough votes to stop Republicans from blocking abortion legislation. Democrats in the House have already voted to pass a bill that would make abortion legal nationwide, but they have been unable to get the bill past an evenly divided Senate.
“We can only get so far through our inside maneuverings. We also need your outside mobilization to rally support at the grassroots level, as you do so well,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from San Francisco, said in a video message to the group on Friday.
Jodi Hicks, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, said in an interview that one goal of Friday’s meeting was for leaders across different states to discuss what strategies have worked to protect abortion access and to create a unified blueprint in the coming months.
“We really want to learn from each other,” Hicks said.
Participants were not specific about their strategies to protect and expand abortion access during the portions of Friday’s meeting attended by a reporter for The Associated Press.
Abortion opponents also are mobilizing nationally. One anti-abortion group, National Right to Life, has proposed model legislation for states that would ban all abortions except to prevent the death of a pregnant woman. New legal frontiers could include prosecuting doctors who defy bans, and skirmishes over access to medication abortions already are underway. Others hope to get more conservatives elected in November to advance an anti-abortion agenda.
Abortion rights groups feel an urgency to act, especially with bans and restrictions in place in a majority of states. Just three months after Roe v. Wade fell, abortion access in more than half of U.S. states is considered “restrictive,” according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.
That includes abortion bans in 11 states, two states where abortion is prohibited after six weeks of pregnancy and nine states that limit access in other ways.
Abortion-rights leaders felt emboldened by California’s swift success in passing new abortion protections, the result of more than a year of careful planning. In the fall of 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom formed the “Future of Abortion Council,” bringing together more than 40 state officials and abortion-rights groups to analyze the state’s abortion laws.
They produced a report with more than 45 recommendations, which became the foundation for a package of 15 bills that passed the Legislature this year. The bills make abortions cheaper for women with private insurance, create scholarships for students studying to provide abortions, let some nurse practitioners perform abortions without the supervision of a doctor and shield abortion providers and volunteers from out-of-state penalties for providing abortions.
Newsom is expected to sign most of them into law by the end of this month. In addition to the new protections, lawmakers approved $200 million in new spending that, among other things, will pay for abortions for people who can’t afford them and will cover travel expenses of women from other states who come to California for care.
Jonathan Keller, president of the California Family Council, said in a statement that other states shouldn’t follow California’s lead on expanding abortion protection.
“These policies are neither fiscally responsible nor pro-choice since they only offer to pay for abortion, not prenatal care or adoption,” Keller wrote. “Why would any other state want to prioritize abortion over and above adoption and parenting? It’s offensive to only offer financial incentives to women on the condition they end their pregnancies.”
About six in 10 U.S. adults say abortion should be legal in most cases, and abortion access is becoming increasingly important to voters, according to Pew Research Center. In California, 81% of California voters say abortion is an important issue for 2022 elections, according to a University of California, Berkeley poll.
“Five Americans who happen to sit on the Supreme Court went and told 330 million Americans that we’re going to rip away a right that you had,” U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra told the group Friday.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Though it’s not the contract extension Jordan Poyer was seeking, the Buffalo Bills increased the amount of bonus incentives the starting safety can earn this season.
Poyer’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed the agreement being reached on Saturday, with his client now eligible to make as much as $2 million in bonuses — up from $500,000 — in the final year of his contract. ESPN.com first reported the deal.
The agreement comes after Poyer lobbied for a contract extension since changing agents by hiring Rosenhaus in April. The 31-year-old emphasized his point by skipping the Bills' voluntary spring practices.
In July, Poyer expressed hope a contract extension could be reached after Rosenhaus attended the start of Bills training camp to meet with general manager Brandon Beane.
Poyer is a 10-year veteran and in his sixth year with Buffalo, where he and Micah Hyde have become one of the NFL's top starting tandems since both signed with the team in 2017.
Poyer is off to a solid start already after registering one of Buffalo’s three interceptions in a 31-10 season-opening win at the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. He started after missing the final month of training camp with a hyperextended left elbow.
Last season, Poyer earned All-Pro honors by finishing tied for fourth in the NFL among safeties with five interceptions while also adding three sacks. Overall, he has 21 career interceptions, seven fumble recoveries and 11 sacks.
The Bills are in part handcuffed by salary-cap constraints, and last week passed over Poyer by signing tight end Dawson Knox to a four-year contract extension.
Last month, Poyer said he would leave contract talks up to his agent and the team while he focuses on football.
“I’m just here. I want to continue to play football and play my best football in Buffalo for as long as I can, however long that may be,” Poyer said. “I’m here with the guys right now, and I’m ready to attack this season.”

No Vacancy No More: Another Decades-old NJ Shore Motel Gets Demolished
Another decades-old, abandoned motel at the Jersey Shore has met the wrecking ball.
And, no, we're not talking about the old Inn of the Dove in Egg Harbor Township, which is also being demolished.
This particular motel found itself stuck in time, tucked away between the shadows of the huge casinos in Atlantic City and the repetitiveness of any number of brand-X motels along Route 30 in Galloway Township.
Out in the marshlands near Delilah Road where water from the bay often runs high, the old Bayview Motel has survived countless coastal storms -- among other things.
But as of this week, it is no more.
I wasn't able to find any concrete information about when the motel closed (or opened, for that matter), besides some Google Maps pictures that showed some cars in the parking lot in 2008 and then the building was boarded-up in 2013.
But based on the font used on the neon sign that hasn't had any neon in it in a very long time, that that motel has stood along Route 30 for quite some time.
A video shot by some urban explorers last year offers a tour of what it was like after being closed for a number of years.
Ironically, not that long ago, I listed the Bayview Motel as one of eight eyesores in Absecon and Galloway that needed to be demolished.

There is confusion over implementation of new adoption rules that require transfer of adoption petitions from courts to District Magistrates, and parents, adoption agencies and activists are worried that this could lead to further delays in a long and arduous procedure.
Thirty four-year-old Meera Mehta* in Ahmedabad applied for adoption on Central Adoption Resource Authority’s (CARA) portal in February 2019. After a long wait, she was referred a seven-month-old girl on June 22 this year. The following month she brought home the girl under pre-adoption foster care pending a formal adoption order from the court which gives legal status to the adoption. A petition was then filed the same month before the local court to obtain an order. Since then the court has completed receiving evidence, and hearing arguments and her lawyers were confident that an order would be passed by September end. But the judge has now conveyed that he can’t proceed with the case as it has to be transferred to the District Magistrate as per the amended adoption rules.
“We have already spent more than two months on the court process and I am worried that the new rule will delay the entire process, and we will have to start all over again,” Ms. Mehta told The Hindu.
ADVERTISEMENT
Her case is among 1,000 cases pending before courts across the country and now in limbo. Nearly, 3,500 adoptions are completed every year.
The Parliament in July 2021 passed the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Amendment Bill, 2021, which empowers DMs to give adoption orders. Ironically, the intent of the amendment was to prevent court-related delays during adoptions because of a large number of pending cases. The amendments came into effect from September 1, according to a gazette notification issued on August 31. Thereafter, amendments to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Model Rules, 2016 were notified which state, “all the cases pertaining to adoption matters pending before the Court shall stand transferred to the District Magistrate from the date of commencement of these rules.”
Adoption agencies, lawyers and activists say there is confusion in the entire system about the requirement to transfer the cases from courts to DMs as well as the status of the court orders passed on or after September 1 after several months of court proceedings. The regulations detailing the procedure to be followed by the DMs as well as defining the roles of various agencies and authorities involved too are yet to be notified.
“The District Magistrate office tells us that they have not received any instructions about adoptions. Judges say they don’t have any information either. We obtained an adoption order for a Bangalore-based couple on September 2, but the law is not clear on whether that will now be nullified or will have to be ratified by a DM. To my knowledge though, city civil courts and district courts are higher in hierarchy than DM’s court,” said Bengaluru-based lawyer Anthony E.X.
In the absence of an adoption order parents can’t obtain birth certificates for adoptees which impacts school admissions. In one case adoptive parents had to admit their child to a hospital, but they can’t claim health insurance yet. Worse, in case of inter-country adoptions by foreigners or NRIs who live abroad, parents can’t take home a child without the court order and a passport.
The Bengaluru lawyer says that courts should be allowed to close adoption cases that have already been brought before them, and only fresh petitions filed after September 1 should be sent to DMs to avoid any inconvenience. Adoptions in India are infamous for being a lengthy process that take up to three years to conclude, primarily because there are only 2,188 children available for adoption as per the latest figures while there are nearly 31,000 parents waiting to adopt a child.
A senior CARA official told The Hindu that there were nearly 1,000 adoption cases already before the courts across the country and the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) was preparing a letter to be sent to State governments to convey that cases that had not been disposed of by courts could be transferred to the DMs. He added that DMs were also being told that where a court has either granted an order or is expected to do so shortly, they should be considered valid. A training workshop planned for them has not yet taken place though MWCD has held online consultations with State government officials and CARA has held them for District Child Protection Units and adoption agencies.
Editorial | Finding a home: On India’s adoption policy
“Adoptions need to be dealt with very sensitively. For the parents who have been waiting for several years, this is an extremely emotional time. Children in shelter homes are also being deprived of emotional support and a family environment. We must never forget the best interest of the child, and, therefore, the government needs to work on a war-footing to address the uncertainty in the system,” remarked Santosh Koulagi, Secretary, Janapada Seva - an adoption agency in Melkote, Karnataka. His agency has six cases pending before the Principal District Judge court in Mandya.

He and others have also raised questions about how DMs, who have the responsibility of the entire district, will be able to ensure timely disposal of adoption cases and whether these could be susceptible to corruption and bribery.

In 2016, John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, was released from a Washington mental hospital for good. (Hinckley would be freed from all court oversight in June 2022.)
Ten years ago: An airstrike killed al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader in Yemen along with six others traveling with him in a breakthrough for U.S.-backed efforts to cripple the terror network’s operations in the impoverished Arab nation. Chicago teachers began a seven-day strike, idling nearly 400,000 students in the nation’s third-largest school district.

Miss North Dakota, Cara Mund, was crowned Miss America in Atlantic City, N.J., after saying in an onstage interview that President Donald Trump was wrong to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord.
One year ago: Republican leaders threatened responses ranging from lawsuits to civil disobedience after President Joe Biden’s aggressive push to require millions of American workers to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. New U.S. studies showed that COVID-19 vaccines remained highly effective against hospitalizations and death, even when dealing with the extra-contagious delta variant. A judge ruled that a 19-year-old Wisconsin woman who admitted to helping stab a classmate when she was 12 years old to please online horror character Slender Man could be freed from a mental health institution where she had spent nearly four years.

Puerto Rico star Ricky Martin faces sexual assault complaint
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A sexual assault complaint has been filed against Puerto Rico pop star Ricky Martin, who recently sued his nephew over what he said were false allegations of sexual abuse.
The complaint was filed Friday at a police precinct in the capital of San Juan, police spokesman Edward Ramírez told The Associated Press on Saturday. Information including who filed the complaint and details of the allegations are not public, given the nature of the complaint.
A person who was not authorized to speak about the case confirmed that Martin’s nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sánchez Martin, filed the complaint. The person said the complaint does not automatically trigger an arrest because the alleged incident is not recent, adding that police will investigate and determine whether charges are warranted.
Sánchez previously requested a restraining order against Martin in July, but a judge later archived the case after Sánchez admitted under oath that he had never been sexually assaulted by the singer.
Flavia Fernández, a spokeswoman for Martin, told the AP that his legal team is evaluating the situation and not issuing public comment for now.
On Thursday, the artist’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against his nephew, whom they described as “troubled.” They accused him of extortion, malicious persecution, abuse of law and damages.
They said Sánchez’s allegations cost Martin at least $10 million worth of canceled contracts and projects, plus another $20 million in damages to his reputation.
The lawsuit states that Sánchez would send up to 10 messages a day to Martin, the majority “meaningless diatribes without any particular purpose.” It also accuses him of publishing Martin’s private number, forcing him to change it.
In addition, the lawsuit said Sánchez falsely claimed he had a romantic relationship with Martin for seven months and that the singer didn’t want it to end and would call Sánchez with frequency.
“Nothing further from the truth,” the lawsuit stated.
Attorneys also noted that a judge previously issued Sánchez two restraining orders in an unrelated stalking case.

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.

Margaritaville at Sea offers free paradise cruise for military, first responders and educators
(Gray News) - A popular cruise line says it’s honoring frontline workers by helping cover their select cruise fare to the Bahamas.
The Margaritaville at Sea cruise line recently announced a “Heroes Sail Free” program.
According to a news release, the program provides one free cruise to the Bahamas for U.S. military service members, police, emergency medical service workers and educators.
“Welcome aboard, heroes, with a big thank you for your service,” said singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. “Now, we feel honored to serve you at sea.”
The cruise line said the three-day, two-night getaway starts from the Port of Palm Beach and sails to Freeport in the Bahamas aboard its Margaritaville at Sea Paradise cruise ship.
According to the company, its flagship vessel features several gourmet foods and beverage options, spa treatments and much more.
“To show our sincere gratitude for their ongoing service, we wanted to offer these frontline heroes a chance to kick off their boots and work shoes and flip flop into a relaxing getaway,” said Kevin Sheehan, Jr., CEO of Margaritaville at Sea.
The cruise program is a partnership between Margaritaville at Sea and GovX.com, the largest military and government e-commerce site.
The cruise line said the program is running through Dec. 29, 2023.

(NEXSTAR) – The National 9/11 Museum & Memorial has a special place for “sky blue.”
In recent years, the 9/11 Museum & Memorial has encouraged buildings across New York City to light up their rooftops or facades in remembrance of those who were killed during the attacks on September 11. Specifically, the city’s iconic buildings will be illuminated in a striking sky blue — a color that holds special significance for the organization, and the city as a whole.
Sky blue, or “Memorial Blue” as the color is also referred to, symbolizes the city’s (and the world’s) general perception of the sky in the morning just prior to the attacks. In fact, the cloudless skies above NYC on 9/11 had been described as what pilots and meteorologists call “severe clear,” meaning visibility conditions were seemingly infinite, according to the National 9/11 Museum & Memorial.
This year, dozens of iconic buildings, landmarks and institutions will again be partaking in the “Tributes in Light” event, itself an extension of the longstanding (and perhaps more recognizable) “Tribute in Light” art installation in Lower Manhattan, which form two columns of white light shining up the heavens.
Sky blue, too, is also a prominent feature of one of the museum’s most visually arresting installations, titled “Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning.” Found inside museum’s Memorial Hall, the piece is comprised of 2,983 watercolor squares — representing each of the lives lost on Sept. 11 and the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center — showcasing different hues of blue to symbolize our memories of the sky on the morning of September 11, 2001.
“Our own perception of the color blue might not be the same as that of another person,” the museum explains of the different hues in the piece, created by artist Spencer Finch. “However, just like our perception of color, our memories share a common point of reference.”
The Museum is also encouraging folks to “Remember the Sky” by sharing photos of the sky to social media on Sept. 11, to help ensure that younger generations never forget the significance of the date.
“Through creating a shared moment of active remembrance together, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum aims to help spur conversation on social media platforms and elsewhere that can serve as a bridge between memory and history for the tens of millions of young people who did not live through that day that changed our world forever,” the museum has written of the campaign.

Quarterback James Tellier returns to field after cancer battle
By WBZ Staff, Paul Burton and Juli McDonald
Click here for updates on this story
BRAINTREE, Massachusetts (WBZ) — Braintree High School senior and starting quarterback James Tellier loves calling the plays, but even he could not predict the playbook he was handed. Just two months ago, he was diagnosed with cancer called Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma and had to undergo chemotherapy.
That on top of his diabetes left him sidelined all summer. But even then the 17-year-old was not thinking about himself.
“The hardest part was watching the other kids in Dana Farber clinic because I know they are way tougher than I am,” Tellier said.
“I swear they’re the last thing he thinks about at night and the first when he gets up, those kids. He talks about it,” his mom Barbara Tellier said.
The news was a shock to the family. “It’s an aggressive form of cancer but it’s also common form,” Barbara said.
“He’s one of the toughest kids I’ve ever seen,” said dad John Tellier.
For two months he underwent treatment and missed just about all his practices. But he says his teammates stood by him. “Constant FaceTimes, gifts, just being able to talk them and them saying whatever you need,” he smiled.
Just two weeks ago he was told he was in remission, and he could play the game he loves and even won back his starting job at QB. “It was great relief. A summer of bad news then at the start of school year good news,” Tellier said.
He took the field Friday night cancer free in front of a packed crowd.
“Sitting in the oncologist’s office going through the treatments and I’m like he’s never going to be able to do this. It broke my heart, all of our hearts,” Barbara said.
From the family, friends, and fans, to even players and parents on the opposing Woburn team – there was one triumph, that everyone could cheer for together.
“Everyone rallies around, and you realize people are good. People are good. It makes you want to be a better person,” Barbara said.
His parents’ joy amplified by their caring community.
“It was just really a curveball. But this game really meant a lot to me. It was a loss, yes. It doesn’t really matter winning or losing. Just playing,” James said, of returning to the field with his team and in front of his parents and grandparents.
And the 6’4″ 200 pounder has some very high expectations this season. “Make the playoffs, try and go undefeated and win the Thanksgiving Day game,” he said.
And if expectations fall short both mom and James know he’s already a winner. “Just to have him back on the field with his teammates with the sport he loves and be healthy means everything to us and to him,” his mom said.
And James is thrilled to be back.
“I just want to make them proud. That’s all that really matters to me,” James said, of his family.
And oh how proud the Telliers… this team… this town… already are.

Jalandhar-based Sikh man Amarjit Singh's happiness knew no bounds when he met his Muslim sister from Pakistan at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, 75 years after he was separated from his family at the time of Partition.
Singh was left out in India along with his sister while his Muslim parents migrated to Pakistan at the time of Partition.
All eyes went teary as wheelchair-bound Singh had an emotional meeting with his sister Kulsoom Akhtar at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur in Pakistan's Punjab province on Wednesday.
Singh arrived in Pakistan via the Wagah border with a visa to meet his sister, The Express Tribune newspaper reported.
Kulsoom, 65, could not control her emotions after seeing Singh.
Both hugged each other and kept crying. She had travelled from her hometown in Faisalabad along with her son Shahzad Ahmed and other family members to meet her brother.
Talking to the newspaper, Kulsoom said that her parents migrated to Pakistan from a suburb in Jalandhar in 1947, leaving behind her brother and a sister.
Kulsoom said she was born in Pakistan and used to hear about her lost brother and sister from her mother. She said that her mother used to cry whenever she remembered her missing children.

She said that she did not expect that she would ever be able to meet her brother and sister.
However, a few years ago, a friend of her father Sardar Dara Singh came to Pakistan from India and also met her.
Her mother told Sardar Dara Singh about her son and the daughter she left behind in India. She also told him the name of their village and the location of their house.
Sardar Dara Singh then visited her house in Padawan village and informed her that her son was alive but her daughter was dead.
Her son was named Amarjit Singh who was adopted by a Sikh family in 1947.
After getting the brother's information, Kulsoom connected with Singh on WhatsApp and later decided to meet.
Kulsoom, despite her severe back pain, mustered the courage to travel to Kartarpur just to meet her brother.
Singh said that when he first learned that his real parents were in Pakistan and were Muslims, it was a shock to him. However, he comforted his heart that many families were separated from each other in addition to his own family.
He said that he always wanted to meet his real sister and brothers. He said that he is happy to know that three of his brothers are alive. However, one brother, who was in Germany, passed away.
He said he will now come to Pakistan to spend time with his family.
He also said that he also wants to take his family to India as well so that they could meet their Sikh family. Both the siblings had brought many gifts for each other.
Shahzad Ahmad, son of Kulsoom, said that he used to hear about his uncle from his grandmother and mother. He said that all of the siblings were very young at the time of Partition.
"I understand that since my uncle was brought up by a Sikh family, he happens to be a Sikh, and my family and I have no problem with this," he added.
Shahzad said that he is happy that even after 75 years his mother has found her lost brother, The Express Tribune quoted him as saying.
This is the second time that the Kartarpur Corridor has reunited a family. In May, a woman born in a Sikh family who was adopted and raised by a Muslim couple met her brothers from India at Kartarpur.

LONDON (AP) — By early afternoon, the scent of thousands of lilies and roses floated in the air outside Buckingham Palace. But the pilgrims kept arriving, bearing still more bouquets and notes of endearment addressed to the only queen most have ever known.
The scene outside the wrought iron gates was just as Nick French expected. But when he left a London hospital Friday, still shaky 10 days after surgery for prostate cancer, there was no question he would join them. Setting out on foot for an hour-long walk across the city, French searched through seven mostly sold-out florist’s shops until his arms were filled with blossoms of crimson and cream, pink and purple.
“I felt the need to come right down here,” said the 50-year-old social services consultant from nearby Kent, standing behind a police barricade. True, Elizabeth II, born to royalty and bound by duty, had lived a life of palaces and pomp. But in the queen's decades of steadfast stewardship, French said, an ordinary man had found an inspiration and kindred soul.
Elizabeth’s life, “brings me hope because the queen was always an incredibly charitable person, a decent person even in the face of great adversity,” he said, “And that gives me a role model to try and move on in my own life, post-cancer.”
A day after the longest reigning monarch in British history died at 96, French’s tribute echoed through the crowds that thronged to Buckingham and the memorial plaza over which the palace presides.
Those in attendance were, of course, self-selected — people who cared for the queen and had come to express their affection. But the pilgrimage was remarkable for more than just its size; it was striking, too, for how it underscored the multitude of roles visitors say the monarch occupied in the lives of those she could never know.
“You inspired generations of young women like me to serve the great nation that thrived under your leadership,” read one note penned in purple marker, left at the gate.
“Farewell, my dearest,” read another, attached to a bouquet of yellow roses. “Thank you ma’am ... for being a beacon of hope and stability in troubled times.”
And yet another: “We thank you for everything you stood for. For your sense of duty, your care, your compassion and of your love for us, your people.”
The outpouring of flowers and heartfelt notes in public places evoked, for those old enough to remember, another somber week in London 25 years ago — the days after Princess Diana, the queen's onetime daughter-in-law, was killed in a car crash in Paris. Then, a nation poured out its public grief in a way not entirely dissimilar.
For David Hunt, a 67-year-old retiree from the British Library, the queen was a symbol of a bygone era and her death a reminder of just how much everything has changed since her reign's early days in his childhood. And Claire McDaniel, 48, said she came when she finished work in a skin-care shop because it felt like the right thing to do for a monarch who, for her, felt almost like a grandmother.
“During the pandemic she came on TV and said, `This is bad, but it will get better. We will see each other again and get together again.' And I think, as a country, it was just what we needed,” McDaniel said.
Not far away, classmates Adam Al-Mufty and Oliver Hughes, both 16 and in school uniforms, said they had come to Buckingham Palace to observe a chapter of history. But there was something more.
“She represented all of us,” Al-Mufty said, acknowledging the unlikeliness that a teenage student and a sovereign could relate to one another. “She was very down to earth.”
French, who came to the palace after an MRI to check that recent surgery had removed all his cancer, said his fondness for Elizabeth began in childhood but grew stronger in recent years.
After French’s father died in 2019, he said he found solace observing the queen’s grace and solidity at the funeral of her husband, Prince Philip. As she grew older and her own health faltered, her determination to enjoy the places and things she loved — while maintaining her role as queen — provided him inspiration, he said.
When he arrived at Buckingham Palace on Friday, he arranged four small bunches of flowers into a generous bouquet held together with a hairband given to him by another admirer in the crowd. At the barricade, he handed them to a police officer, who promised to find a good spot at the base of the palace gates.
It provided small solace. But in the weeks to come, the pain of losing Elizabeth will be difficult to hide, said McDaniel, the retail worker. After all, the queen’s face and name are everywhere — on Britain’s money and postal stamps, on an air terminal at Heathrow and on London’s newest subway line.
“It will be hard, but we’ll get through it,” McDaniel said. “That’s what we do. We’re English. We’ll have a bit of tea and carry on.”

The 35-acre plant in Kokomo makes parts used in the power trains of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles and a long-term strike could affect vehicle assembly lines across North America.
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” — including providing clean uniforms — while ”making record profits and investing billions in a new battery plant across the street.”
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.
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.
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.

With all the talk of the Dolphins’ thin cornerback issues, the South Florida heat and the strategic matchup conspire to make sense of defensive coordinator Josh Boyer’s idea that New England will come in running the ball.
The Dolphins’ defense was run over by Tennessee last January for 198 rushing yards and has basically the same personnel. A year older and wiser? But running the ball effectively has the chance to shorten the game – something visitors should want to do in the sub-tropical heat (even ones that spent the past week here like New England).
The Patriots ran for 125 and 134 yards in the two meetings against the Dolphins last year. That’s in line with their No. 8 ranking at 126.5 yards a game last season and have virtually everyone back – with a twist.
They’ve changed everything from offensive coordinators to blocking schemes, where they’ll use the outside-blocking scheme just like the Dolphins are. That’s unfortunate in the manner these teams’ similar opponents will be accustomed to the blocking same pretty quickly. The scheme began to be used in the NFL with Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel’s mentor, Mike Shanahan, in Denver. The idea is lineman block areas, not just a man, as defenses increasingly moved people. You’ll see it a lot Sunday.
2. Patriots receiver Devante Parker gets a shot at his former Dolphins team on Sunday and expectedly said this week, “I just look at it like another game. I just have to come out and play hard like any other game.” Anyone buying that? You should understand why the Dolphins traded Parker (for a 2022 first-round pick and 2023 third-round pick). He missed significant practice and some games in 2016, 2020 and 2021, primarily with hamstring issues. He played 10 of 17 games last year. The larger part is he had the least separation of any receiver in the league for the past two seasons. But Belichick had to game-plan against him for year and obviously likes him. The one play that Parker excelled at was the jump ball, as he and Ryan Fitzpatrick showed. Expect the Patriots to try that with 6-3, 218-pound Parker having a good size advantage on Dolphins cornerbacks.
3. Five stats the Dolphins should improve on under Mike McDaniel’s offense and the upgrade of talent:
1. 4.78 yards per play (28th in league).
2. Tua Tagovailoa threw 33 percent of his passes under two seconds (fifth-highest rate, via Warren Sharp analystics).
3. The offensive line ranked worst in ESPN’s pass-block win rate.
4. Receivers had 4.3 yards after catch (ranked 31st).
5. And the heavyweight: 20.1 points per game (ranked 21st).
4. There’s no home-field advantage in sports bigger than a 1 p.m. game in September. I’ve said this before. You don’t need to go back to the Bob Kuechenberg said, “We knew the heat might kill us, but we knew it would kill them.” You don’t need to know the San Francisco 49ers landed in Denver after playing in Miami in 1973 to get more IV’s, Green Bay’s Don Majkowski lost a game-sealing fumble in 1991 because, “My hands were really just perspiring.”
“I’ve been ahead by 14 points in the fourth quarter, and my guys were gassed and [the Dolphins] came back and won it,” former Jets coach Rex Ryan said last year on ESPN.
That’s why Bill Belichick moved his team to Palm Beach County for this week’s practices. Will it matter? Every bit plays a part.
5. You should understand why the Dolphins are favored Sunday. But 3 1/2 points seems a bit much and plays into the optimism around the Dolphins team – and pessimism around the Patriots. Maybe I’m too scarred by the Patriots over the years, but the pessimism seems overdone. They aren’t a great team. But they went 10-7 and made the playoffs with a rookie quarterback last year. They didn’t add much, and lost top cornerback J.C. Jackson and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. It’s uncertain just where their offense is considering an odd scheme where Bill Belichick wasn’t saying who would call plays (sound familiar to the 2021 Dolphins?). But one thing you know: Belichick’s teams improve over a season. While there’s no one to scare you on their offense, the defensive front seven is a strong. They aren’t the dynasty they once were. But they aren’t pushovers, either.
6. This won’t exactly be a matchup of young teams, a bit of a surprise considering their young quarterbacks and lack of playoff success. According to bookie.com, the Patriots are the fifth oldest team in the league at an average 27 years, one month and 22 days. The Dolphins are the seventh oldest at 26 yards, nine months and 27 days.
7. Regarding running games, the Patriots’ backs might have some motivation this opener against the Dolphins considering last year’s opener in Foxborough. First, Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled his first NFL carry, the Dolphins recovered and Stevenson was benched until the fifth game. Then, with the Patriots driving for a winning field goal, Damien Harris had the ball stripped by Xavien Howard at the Dolphins’ 9-yard line to win the game for Miami.
8. Can Buffalo be the best pick for the Super Bowl and over-valued? Seems that way. I picked Buffalo for the Super Bowl out of the AFC and their opening win against the Los Angeles Rams showed why. But everyone’s picking the Bills this year – and the AFC is stacked with tough teams. Let’s not pretend they’re this proven force. First, Sean McDermott has to prove he can manage a game as the last 13 seconds in their AFC Championship loss to Kansas City showed. But let’s remember they had the same benefit last year that the Dolphins had: They played a lot of back-up quarterbacks, especially in the last half of the year. So while they’re mine and plenty of others’ pick to go to the Super Bowl, better teams haven’t matched preseason expectations.
9. Preseason prediction: Dolphins go 9-8 and slip into the playoffs in a tough AFC. If they come out 2-2 of this opening stretch, they should make it easy. Lots of teams will knock each other out – especially in the AFC West.
10. Sunday prediction: Dolphins 24, New England 20. Better roster. Favorable weather. The 3 1/2-point spread is about right.

The Masked Dancer has returned to ITV tonight and viewers were instantly left guessing which celebrity is behind the mask. The Pearly King sparked a frenzy amongst EastEnders fans who have predicted the Lion to be an iconic character.
Following an introduction where the Pearly King dropped some hints of his true identity, including a reference to being a cockney, he then danced to The Jam hit London Underground, which has landed the lion in the bottom three. Judge Oti Mabuse has already described Pearly King as "an absolute character, a big personality. It’s not about how they dance but how they interact with Joel and how Joel reacts to them."
On social media, The Masked Dancer viewers predicted actor Danny Dyer, who plays Mick Carter in EastEnders, is the Pearly King. On Twitter, one person wrote: "It’s got to be Danny Dyer who is the Pearly King on #MaskedDancerUK".
A second added: "@MaskedSingerUK Pearly King 100% Danny Dyer!".

Quiet Cul-De-Sac Becomes Living Nightmare - 5 People Killed, Authorities On Scene
Five people were found shot to death Friday in a home in Elk Mills, Maryland.
The Cecil County Sheriff’s Office said it was alerted by a 911 from a man who said a woman and three children had been shot and killed at the residence, which is set on a quiet residential cul-de-sac, according to WJZ-TV.
Officials said the call was very brief, and that the man hung up after telling police about the victims. Police tried to reach the residence, but calls went unanswered.
When police responded, they found a man lying dead in a detached garage with a handgun near him.
In the house, a woman was found shot on the first floor and three children were dead on the second floor.
Although WBAL-TV was calling the incident an “apparent murder-suicide,” officials had not yet released any official explanation of what had taken place.

“It’s a horrific day, and I know everybody’s prayers are appreciated. … My phone hasn’t stopped ringing from people concerned about this and upset about this,” Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams said at a Friday news conference, according to The Associated Press.
“It’s grief is what it is at this point,” Adams said.
Adams said the deaths were far beyond the usual run of events in his county.
“Anytime you have a loss to these levels. Any loss is terrible, but a loss to this level, which is not a common thing — it’s certainly not a common thing here in Cecil County — it’s tragic and terrible and it takes a long time for people to process.”

“This is a tragic and terrible day for our county and our community,” he said, according to WBAL-TV.
The children were home-schooled, and were in the fifth, seventh and eighth grades.
Cecil County Animal Services was called to remove a dog and two cats.
Neighbor Tom Driscoll said a couple and their three children lived in the house for about five years.
“I don’t know why anyone would want to hurt those children. I really don’t,” Driscoll said. “Things must have been really bad somehow.”

AlphaTauri is awaiting a decision from the FIA on Colton Herta’s eligibility to compete in Formula One next season, and it said Saturday the delay is affecting the team’s planning for its 2023 lineup.
Herta does not have the required Super License needed to race in F1, so any deal is contingent on an FIA ruling.
“The latest on Pierre is that he has a contract with us,” AlphaTauri team principal Franz Tost said Saturday ahead of the Italian Grand Prix. “And regarding Colton Herta, it’s a decision from the FIA whether he gets the Super License or not, and I hope that FIA will take this decision as soon as possible so that we know how to build up the team and where to go for next year.”
Tost was then asked if AlphaTauri might look into the Red Bull junior driver academy for a replacement for Gasly, or if F2 driver Liam Lawson might be in the mix. AlphaTauri is the junior program for Red Bull, and Tost indicated a driver decision will come from above and be either Gasly or Herta.
“This is a decision from Red Bull, which driver they will bring into the team,” Tost said. “But I think if it’s not Colton Herta, then Pierre Gasly will stay and nothing will change.”
But any hope of Herta receiving an exemption on the Super License — and Herta said Friday he'd prefer to earn the license and not receive an FIA exemption — seemed to be waning in discussions happening in Italy.
Ferrari principal Mattia Binotto was clearly against any sort of exemption for Herta.
“I think force majeure cannot be used for Herta. That will be a completely wrong approach,” Binotto said. “Regulations are in place in order to protect our sports and make sure that we’re making the right process and choices for our sport itself. So Herta may participate in the championship, (when) he’s got what are the requirements to do so and not differently.
“I think that’s very important and we will certainly overview what FIA will do in that respect. And I think each single team will do so because it’s for the importance of our sport. We cannot have force majeure or whatever are the situations, which is not a force majeure, certainly in that case.”
An FIA spokesman then told Motorsport.com that “the FIA will not be pressured by any teams into decisions on matters such as Super License points. The FIA President has implemented robust governance, and we will abide by that.”
Herta lacks the required points for a Super License because of how little the FIA values IndyCar, a series it does not govern. IndyCar’s worth falls somewhere between F2 and F3, both junior categories filled somewhat by wealthy ride-buyers. When Indy Lights driver Linus Lundqvist starts Saturday’s race he will clinch the Lights title and earn a Super License.
Lundqvist’s points come via the 15 points for the Lights title, 10 points for finishing third in Lights last year and his 2020 victory in the FIA-governed Formula Regional Americas Championship earned him 18 points.
The 23-year-old Swede will have 43 points at the end of Saturday. Herta, winner of seven IndyCar races over four seasons and the series’ youngest winner with his 2019 victory days ahead of his 19th birthday, will end the season Sunday with 32 points.
Herta can acquire additional points by running in first practice sessions, but there are only six F1 races remaining after Italy, so even that path would leave Herta two points short.
“There’s a regulation and if the FIA wants to change anything, then this is one side,” Tost said. “We, from our side, will support it of course. If it’s necessary to run in FP1 then we will run him in FP1. We will do everything what is being requested.”
Herta is managed by his father, former IndyCar driver Bryan Herta, and the two were in full preparations at Laguna Seca Raceway in California for the young driver to go for his third consecutive victory on the road course.
Bryan Herta said he was choosing his words carefully when discussing his son’s potential opportunity.
“I understand both sides of the argument. I have an emotional side to one side of the argument,” Bryan Herta said. “But I have an intellectual understanding to the other side of the argument.”
He also said his son has “strongly resisted” being updated on the ever-changing developments because he wanted to focus on the close of the IndyCar season. This year has been his worst with just one victory and he’s ranked a career-low ninth in the IndyCar standings.
But Bryan Herta also noted all the debate coming out of F1 has made it “uncomfortable” for the Hertas.
“Team owners, the drivers over there, making this specific to Colton,” Bryan Herta said. “I think that can be a little uncomfortable and I don’t think he wants to go there like some kind of special case. I think he wants to take a chance on Formula One and I believe he is good enough to deserve that chance.
“But you also don’t want to go over there with an asterisk walking in. So I’ve been a little surprised by how contentious and how public the whole thing has been. I’d rather it just be settled quietly and that’s it.”
Bryan Herta added he’s unsure what sort of licensing his son has that could potentially permit him to end the IndyCar season and quickly enter some FIA-approved series in an attempt to collect some quick points.

FBI Atlanta issues search for missing Twinsburg teen
SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) - The Atlanta division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a search for the missing 17-year-old, Emma D. Linek, who they say was last seen at Atlanta’s Airport.
Emma was last seen leaving the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with an unknown man at 10 a.m. on Sept. 6, according to the FBI’s missing persons database.
Emma is 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, according to the FBI. She also has brown eyes and black hair.
“It’s been horrible, not knowing where she’s at, what might have happened,” Mike Linek, Emma’s dad, previously said.
Mike Linek said he last saw her on Tuesday when her family dropped her off at Cleveland Hopkins Airport for a flight to Boston.
He explained that the airline rebooked her on a connecting flight from Atlanta to Boston, but when she did not arrive he became worried and contacted Twinsburg police.
“Cleveland Police were able to review the video at Hopkins Airport. They saw her get on the plane and not get off,” Mike said. “We know she reached Atlanta based on the video but once she reached Atlanta we don’t know.”
According to Police, Emma was last seen wearing a black crop top with black, red and white plaid pants and a black scarf.
She also wears larger, black framed glasses.
Emma’s father said he’s now traveled to Atlanta, and hopes for more information from Atlanta Police, and the airport about where Emma could be.
“We’ve walked through the airport a number of times trying to catch a glimpse of her, trying to look at different places she could go, but it’s been three days, so it’s difficult,” he said.
As he desperately looks for any clue of where she is, he has one last wish.
“Just give us a call, let us know you are alright, love to see you,” he said.
If you have any information on where Emma is, you are asked to call the Twinsburg Police Department Detective Bureau at 330-963-6220.

Queen Elizabeth II's funeral set for September 19
LONDON - Palace officials say the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will take place on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey in London after the public gets an opportunity to pay their last respects to the monarch.
Elizabeth, the nation’s longest-reigning sovereign, died Thursday at Balmoral castle, her summer retreat in the Scottish Highlands.
A long-established 10-day plan, code-named Operation London Bridge, covers arrangements for the queen's final journey to London and state funeral. Organizers on Saturday described the ceremony as a "a fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.’’

The queen's coffin will depart Balmoral at 10 a.m. British time Sunday (5 a.m. Eastern), September 11, and travel to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, the monarch's official residence in Scotland. It's a 175-mile trip and is expected to take about six hours. The queen will remain there until Monday.
The Royal Family will then join the procession and accompany the coffin to a service at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. That's expected to happen at 9:35 a.m. Eastern on Monday, Sept. 12.
The queen will remain at the cathedral for 24 hours for public view.
Lying in state
On Tuesday, Sept. 13, the queen's coffin will be flown from Edinburgh to London. Princess Anne will accompany the queen.
Wednesday, the coffin will be transported from Buckingham Palace to Parliament on a gun carriage, with the king and other royals walking behind.
The queen will lie in state for four days until the morning of her funeral on Monday, Sept. 19. She will be in medieval Westminster Hall, where the archbishop of Canterbury will conduct a short service upon her arrival.
Members of the public will be able to pay their respects and troops will keep a round-the-clock vigil.

Leaders and dignitaries from around the world are expected to attend. The funeral marks the end of 10 days of national morning, and the day will be a public holiday across the U.K.

California heat wave broken by storm as air quality degrades due to wildfires
The Mosquito Fire has forced evacuations for thousands in California
California saw relief from an oppressive and record-breaking heat wave on Saturday after a tropical storm turned off the Pacific Coast.
In the Bay Area, onshore flow brought temperatures back to average and southern California braced for rain and wind impacts.
Officials warned of flooding in coastal and mountain areas, with some inland areas receiving several inches from now Post-Tropical Cyclone Kay.
A Seal Beach parking lot experienced minor flooding from high tide, according to authorities.
US FOREST SERVICE RESUMES PRESCRIBED BURNS AFTER 3-MONTH HIATUS
Amidst the heat, the state had set a record for power consumption last week, and rolling blackouts were largely avoided as electrical grid capacity was stretched to its breaking point.
According to KCRA, some unplanned power outages occurred in Lodi that the California Independent System Operator's chief executive pinned on a "communication issue."
The National Weather Service warned that northern California communities would be inundated with wildfire smoke, pushing into the Bay Area on the weekend.
Most of the smoke was expected to be elevated, but organizers of the 72-mile Tour de Tahoe bike ride canceled the Sunday event due to heavy smoke from the fast-moving mosquito fire.
The Washoe County Air Quality Management Division issued a Stage 2 Emergency Episode on Friday for the Reno-Sparks area due to smoke impacts from the blaze, which had spread over 33,754 acres and was 0% contained on Saturday.
The Mosquito Fire has threatened thousands of homes, with evacuations in place and more than 1,500 personnel working to fight it.

It continued to threaten numerous structures and power lines, although it was less active Friday than on previous nights.
The fire's cause remains under investigation, but Pacific Gas & Electric said unspecified "electrical activity" occurred close in time to the report of the fire on Tuesday.
While wet weather helped efforts there, officials feared winds from the storm could expand the Fairview Fire.
However, minimal flooding was reported early Saturday and crews made significant progress.
Now, the deadly 28,307-acre fire is 40% contained, with homeowners still urged to heed evacuation orders, even as some were reduced.
The brush in some areas was so dense that Cal Fire said moisture did not make it into the ground.

"We're not going to allow the weather, the increased RH, rainfall to lull us into complacency that we think this fire's out." Day Operations Branch Chief Justin McGough said in an update on Saturday.
13 structures have been destroyed in the Fairview Fire.
Two women were killed and one other civilian was injured.

Matt Leinart said about Alabama football QB Bryce Young: 'Best we've ever seen'
Ahead of Saturday's Alabama football matchup with Texas, former USC quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart broke down what he liked about Alabama quarterback Bryce Young on the FOX network "Big Noon Kickoff" show.
While breaking down Young's six-touchdown performance against Utah State, Leinart said he believes believes Young is one of the best players in college football.
"It could potentially be a long day for this (Texas) defense," Leinart said. "He's the reigning Heisman Trophy winner; last year was phenomenal.
"I actually think he's very underrated. I don't think he gets the national attention he deserves. ... I'm going to go on record and say this now: I think he's the best college football prospect quarterback that we've ever seen, he could have another big game today."

Young is coming off a season where he led Alabama to the national championship game after passing for 4,847 yards and 47 touchdowns while winning the Heisman Trophy.
Leinart played at USC from 2001-2005, winning the Heisman in 2004 and leading the Trojans to a now-vacated 2004 BCS national championship. He spent seven seasons in the NFL from 2006-2013.
Alabama faces Texas at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday on Fox.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Rail advocates are dusting off a proposal for passenger train service between Montreal and Boston, riding a renewed interest in train travel to bolster a concept that has been around for more than a decade.
“It’s not a hard sell at all. A lot of people want this,” said Francois Rebello, a former national assembly member in Quebec and a consultant on the project.
Hundreds of travelers would ride a privately operated, overnight train each day if obstacles can be overcome to make the service a reality in coming years, according to a ridership study.
It wouldn’t be a high-speed affair. Promoters envision a different experience — a relaxed ride with a meal and sleep before arriving bright-eyed at the destination. The 14-hour ride would travel through Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Quebec.
The proposal comes against a backdrop of a rail revival, and more than $100 billion in railway infrastructure funding approved by Congress.
Maine State Sen. Richard Bennett, a Republican who lives in a district where the train would pass, said there’s much work to be done.
“I’m both excited and skeptical,” he said. “I certainly support the concept and I think it has a lot of promise. I think this can be done.”
A market study suggests about 4,000 people travel daily between Montreal and Boston, and about 1,000 of them would opt for rail service if it’s available, Rebello said. The service would be profitable with only 200 riders, he said.
But the proposal is in the early stages and the obstacles are many.
The track on the Canadian side of the border requires more than $100 million in upgrades and repairs. The track is in good shape through northern New England but the speed is limited to about 35 mph (56 kph) for a long stretch, and there’s little hope of securing additional funding to boost the speed.
Operators would have to negotiate agreements with several private owners of the rail — the Saint Lawrence and Atlantic, CSX and others — and there could be multiple crews required for the train. Then there’s the question of clearing customs with people coming and going at multiple train stops, and finding scarce equipment.
The idea for restoring Montreal-to-Boston passenger rail service for the first time since the 1960s has been bounced around for more than a decade, and several different rail routes have been floated over the years.
This time, the proposed route would follow Canadian Pacific Railway track from Montreal to Sherbrooke, Quebec, and then the St. Lawrence and Atlantic across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, where a CSX-owned rail passes through Old Orchard Beach, a popular Maine tourist destination for Canadians. The final stretch is operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority.
Carl Fowler, a member of the Vermont Rail Advisory Council, is a rail advocate who likes the idea of expanded passenger rail service. But he said people have to be realistic about the proposal’s challenges.
“There are a lot of loose ends to be resolved,” he said.
Proponents have engaged with the Canadian Pacific Railway and the corporate parent of St. Lawrence and Atlantic, and the Canadian government already has considered investing in railway upgrades, Rebello said. Montreal real estate entrepreneur Nikolai Ray has signed on an investor.
About 60 rail advocates, legislators, tourism officials and others gathered recently in Coaticook, Quebec, to discuss the vision promoted by Montreal-based Fondation Trains De Nuit, or Night Train Foundation, and view a proposed map. Notably absent were state transportation officials from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
But the project won’t start anytime soon. The most optimistic view is that the project would need at least two years to become a reality, he said. However, it could take longer to secure funding and rail agreements.
A motorist could get from Boston to Montreal twice as fast but rail advocates say riders would get there in style. People could have dinner, be entertained and sleep in a comfortable bed, proponents say. They’d also be spared the cost of a hotel fee, since they’d be sleeping and showering on the train, supporters said.
The project holds appeal both for older riders who are nostalgic about trains and a younger generation that’s less enthralled with cars, Rebello said.
Rail enthusiast Sarah LeBaron von Baeyer, who lives outside Boston and doesn’t drive, said she “wholeheartedly” embraces mass transit that would allow her to visit family and friends in Canada several times a year.
“I love train travel. I lived in Japan for many years. It was absolutely the best way to get around,” she said.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa has been cleared by his doctors to participate in Sunday's pregame ceremony for retiring Dave Stewart's No. 34 jersey with the Oakland Athletics.
According to the White Sox, La Russa will travel with the team to Chicago after the series finale against the A's, but the 77-year-old Hall of Famer hasn't been cleared to return to the dugout as an active manager.
La Russa managed Stewart during some of his best years in Oakland, including four straight 20-win seasons from 1987-1990 and the team's World Series championship in 1989.
La Russa missed his 12th straight game Saturday because of an unspecified health issue. Bench coach Miguel Cairo has been running the defending AL Central champions while La Russa is away.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Angie Craig is looking for the leader of the U.S. Senate to take action on insulin legislation, months after her bill limiting the out-of-pocket costs for insured people to $35 a month passed the House.
"Although we have made historic moves to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries, Americans covered by private health insurance also deserve relief from the burden of excessive drug costs," Craig and three other House Democrats said in a Sept. 1 letter to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "Last month, you promised to bring insulin legislation to the floor again this fall and we stand ready to support you in those efforts."
Craig is in a tight re-election race against Republican Tyler Kistner for her swing Second District seat. Kistner said in a statement that "Congress should work in a bipartisan way to address the soaring prescription drug prices that are squeezing Minnesota families."
Craig's bill was met with GOP opposition when it passed the House back in March in a 232-193 vote, although 12 Republicans voted in favor of the legislation.
"Americans who depend on life-saving insulin every day should not be forced to choose between buying groceries or buying insulin. We cannot wait another moment," the letter said.

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?”

NEW YORK (AP) — Frances Tiafoe was living his best life in his U.S. Open semifinal, just as he did throughout this magical run at Flushing Meadows, smiling and thriving, yukking it up with the fans, with his opponent, even with his opponent’s coach.
He sprinted to his changeover chair, and the mess of clothes and shoes and rackets that surrounded it, after one big point went his way. After another, he stared at all four corners of a soldout Arthur Ashe Stadium, nodding amid the mayhem. He waved his arms to ask for more support — and got it.
And, other than a real rough patch in the second and third sets, and again at the end, Tiafoe was playing his best tennis, too, keeping alive his hopes of becoming the first American man to reach the final at Flushing Meadows in 16 years and, perhaps, the first to win any Grand Slam title in 19 years. Tiafoe managed to save a match point in the fourth set Friday night, extending the contest for more than another hour, and another two in the fifth, yet could not finish the deal, losing to No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3.
When it was over, when he ran out of comebacks, Tiafoe, a 24-year-old from Maryland who is ranked 26th, wiped away tears and apologized to the spectators who joined him for this rollicking ride.
“I wanted to be here on Sunday, holding the cup. I had it in my head,” Tiafoe said, adding about the fans: “I know they’re proud of what I did. … I wanted this one to end a little differently, that’s all.”
Before this tournament, he only once had been past the fourth round at a major, and lost immediately after that. This time, he got to the quarterfinals by beating 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal, followed that up with another victory, and then gave Alcaraz all he could handle for big chunks of their 4-hour, 19-minute thriller that ended slightly before midnight.
“I just proved that, honestly, I mean, I can play with the best, obviously,” Tiafoe said, “and I’m capable of winning Grand Slams.”
When it was over, Tiafoe and Alcaraz hugged. And then Alcaraz — a 19-year-old from Spain who will face Casper Ruud, a 23-year-old from Norway, in the final — pointed to Tiafoe, as if telling a crowd that included former first lady Michelle Obama, to make sure they showered him with praise.
“Frances,” Alcaraz said, “gave everything on court.”
Tiafoe’s “Cinderella story,” as he put it, might be well known, but bears repeating: His parents emigrated to the United States from Sierra Leone during its civil war in the 1990s; his mother worked two jobs, including as a nurse, and his father helped build the Junior Tennis Champions Center in College Park, Maryland. From an early age, Frances and his twin brother, Franklin, would spend a lot of time at the facility, sometimes sleeping there, while Dad was a maintenance worker there.
The JTCC held a watch party at a restaurant near its campus on Friday night.
“He represents what we’re all about, which is to foster a love of tennis,” said the group’s CEO, Ray Benton. “Frances lives, eats and breathes tennis, since he was 4 years old.”
Which is part of why Tiafoe is convinced this will not be his last chance on this sort of stage. Why he figures the improvements he’s made in diet — “I didn’t go out to dinner one time” during the U.S. Open, he noted proudly — and fitness will continue to pay off.
“Craziest two weeks of my life. Stuff you dream about doing,” Tiafoe said. “Fell a little short.”

CÁDIZ, Spain (AP) — Barcelona’s game at Cádiz was temporarily halted in the final minutes due to a health emergency involving a fan on Saturday.
Local media reported that a man had suffered a heart-related problem at the Spanish league game.
Cádiz goalkeeper Jeremías Ledesma helped give medical equipment to Red Cross medics, while Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo prayed in the silent Nuevo Mirandilla stadium in southern Spain.
After more than a 10-minute pause with players waiting on the field, the referee ordered them to retire to the locker rooms with Barcelona 2-0 ahead at the time.
The fan was eventually removed from the stadium on a stretcher. Local media said that the man was alive and taken to the local hospital.
“We hope that he gets better as soon as possible,” Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández said.
The game resumed for its final eight minutes after more than a half-hour stoppage. Barcelona went on to win 4-0.

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.

PHILADELPHIA — Dalton Guthrie had the sweet spot of the baseball already tattooed with his name and first hit and RBI. The ball sat in a case in his locker and was soon headed back to Florida as a gift for his parents. Nick Nelson stashed the ball from his first save in the majors in his backpack.
The September souvenirs are a sweet reminder that Philadelphia’s playoff push has been about more than just the stars that make up the bulk of the $230 million-plus payroll. But those reliable sluggers sure don’t hurt, either.
Rhys Hoskins and J.T. Realmuto hit solo homers and Noah Syndergaard pitched well enough into the seventh inning to keep the Philadelphia Phillies in playoff position with a 5-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.
“Hats off to player development, but also to the guys in the clubhouse to make these young guys feel comfortable and come in here and let them do the work,” Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said.
Phillies reliever Brand Hand failed to earn a save in the ninth when he put two runners on and was pulled for Nelson with two outs. Nelson retired .188 hitter Riley Adams on a grounder to earn his first save in 61 career relief outings.
The Phillies entered with a grip on the third wild-card spot and each win moves them closer to their first playoff berth since 2011. Bryce Harper got the night off, but even that was OK because the Phillies have Edmundo Sosa. Sosa tripled and scored in his first at-bat and singled in the fifth, bringing his streak of reaching base to 11 straight plate appearances over his last four starts. He had three singles, four doubles, one triple, two homers and one walk over that span.
Syndergaard (9-9) allowed eight hits and walked none over 86 pitches in six-plus innings. The plus in this instance was a homer to Alex Call to lead off the seventh that brought the Nationals to 4-3. Andrew Bellatti and Jose Alvarado each tossed a scoreless inning of relief.
Guthrie, who hit ninth and played right field, ripped a run-scoring single to right in the third for his first major league hit and RBI. He drove in Sosa, who reached third on a headfirst slide for a triple that continued his torrid pace.
“It’s cool. It’s a pretty comfortable environment when you come up here,” Guthrie said. “These older guys make you feel at home. They make it seem like it’s just baseball.”
Like most teams this season, the Phillies continued to rough up Nationals starter Patrick Corbin (6-18). Hoskins, who cost the Phillies with a ninth-inning error a night earlier in a loss to the Marlins, hit his 27th homer of the season in the fourth. Alec Bohm nearly made it back-to-back but his deep drive knocked off the top of the right-field wall for a double. Realmuto drove him in for a 3-0 lead on a single up the middle.
Realmuto, drilled with a pitch in his left elbow in the eighth, hit his 16th homer of the season in the sixth for a 4-2 lead.
Philadelphia’s bottom of the order was clutch again when Guthrie, who this week became the 81st former Florida Gator to play in the majors, made it 5-3 in the seventh with an RBI infield single.
Corbin, who had actually won his last two starts, gave up 12 hits and five runs in 6 2/3 innings.
HARPER OUT
Harper had the night off for the first time since he returned two weeks ago from the injured list with a broken left thumb. Harper was hitless in his last seven at-bats and 10 of his last 11.
“I think anybody that comes back from a short rehab stint kind of takes off and then plateaus. Maybe fatigue sets in or whatever,” Thomson said. “So he might be going through a little bit of that.”
FIRST FAN
First lady Jill Biden attended the game to mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Night. Biden joined children ages 4-15 from the Delaware Valley area receiving or who had received treatment for cancer. The kids were recognized on the field during pre-game ceremonies.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Nationals: C Keibert Ruiz was placed on the 10-day injured list with a testicular contusion and, quite understandably, his season might be over. Ruiz took one where it hurts most in Thursday’s game — his plight even made TMZ — and stayed in St. Louis, though he was set to join his teammates in Philadelphia. Manager Dave Martinez said Ruiz was instructed to avoid strenuous activity for three weeks.
“He’s matured behind the plate, he’s gotten a lot better calling games, his hitting has gotten a lot better. He’s going to be a big part of our future moving forward, and I truly believe that one of these years, this kid will be an All-Star,” Martinez said.
Phillies: RHP Seranthony Domínguez (right triceps tendinitis) will be activated Sunday to bolster a creaky bullpen after he threw a scoreless inning in a minor league rehab stint on Thursday. RHP Zach Eflin (right knee) struck out three in two innings in a rehab start Friday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Will Reichard kicked a 33-yard field goal with 10 seconds left, and Bryce Young and No. 1 Alabama overcame a stifling defensive effort by Texas to earn a hard-fought 20-19 victory Saturday.
Young was hit and harassed by the Texas defense most of the game, but the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback put together a big fourth quarter.
He had a twisting, off-balance touchdown pass, and then a 20-yard scramble in the final minute to set up Reichard’s winning kick. Young easily dodged a blitzing defender, then had wide open field ahead of him to scamper.
Young’s clutch play rescued Alabama on an uncharacteristically sloppy day when the Crimson Tide (2-0) struggled with penalties and dropped passes and was forced into six consecutive punts in one stretch. Texas (1-1) stuffed Alabama on fourth-and-inches late to set up a go-ahead field goal by Bert Auburn with 1:39 remaining.
Young also spoiled what could have been a program-defining victory for Texas and second-year coach Steve Sarkisian. Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers was knocked out with a shoulder injury at the end of the first quarter.
The steady hand of backup Hudson Card and an inspired defense helped Texas build a 16-10 lead early in the fourth, and then drive for the lead again on Auburn’s fourth field goal of the day.
Young was 27-of-39 passing for 213 yards with the scrambling TD throw to Jahmyr Gibbs that gave Alabama a 17-16 lead. Jase McLellan had an 81-yard touchdown run for Alabama in the first quarter.
Alabama avoided its first nonconference loss since 2007 against Louisiana-Monroe in coach Nick Saban’s first season.
THE TAKEAWAY
Alabama: The Tide was all out of sorts. Eleven first-half penalties and dropped passes showed a level of sloppy play seldom seen by Saban teams. Last season’s Bronco Nagurski Award winner Will Anderson struggled to make plays against an inexperience Texas offensive line.
Texas: The Longhorns let a huge win get away. Now they also have questions at quarterback if Ewers is out for an extended period. He was electric early against the Tide and had already passed for 134 yards in the first quarter before he was hurt when linebacker Dallas Turner drove him into the ground.

Alabama hosts Louisiana-Monroe.
Texas hosts UTSA next Saturday.

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) – Michael James Pratt, a co-owner of a pornographic website, has now been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
Pratt, 39, is wanted for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to recruit young women and girls to engage in commercial sex acts by force, fraud and coercion, authorities say.
“Pratt is alleged to have been the owner of adult websites ‘GirlsdoPorn’ and ‘GirlsdoToys,'” said U.S Attorney Randy Grossman, who added that Pratt has been charged in the Southern District of California “for sex trafficking crimes, in connection with a scheme to deceive and coerce young women to appear in sex videos on those websites.”
FBI San Diego Special Agent in Charge Stacey Moy said Pratt recruited hundreds of women from all over the United States and Canada between the years 2012 and 2019, and that most of the videos were shot in San Diego, in hotel rooms and home rentals.
Special Agent Moy said Pratt would lure these women with “the false promise of legitimate clothed modeling jobs,” but then often “forced or coerced them into participating in pornographic videos.”
Special Agent Moy added that Pratt would promise anonymity and convince victims that the videos would never be posted on the internet — which would later be found to be a lie.
“Pratt operated these sites as a front to force for commercial sex acts, which generated more than $17 million in revenue for Pratt and his co-hosts,” said Special Agent Moy.
The adult websites are no longer running, but officials say the videos still exist and hundreds of victims are still out there.
A warrant had been issued for Pratt, a New Zealand native, in 2019.
The FBI is encouraging victims to come forward. Anyone with information as to Pratt’s whereabouts are urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or reach out to the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
The FBI is also offering a reward of up to $100,000 for any information leading to Pratt’s arrest.

(NerdWallet) – Bringing a child into your family is a big decision, emotionally and financially. The process can be long and cost anywhere from less than $1,000 to more than $50,000. Here’s a breakdown of the different ways you can grow your family through adoption — and how much you could expect to spend.
How much does adoption cost?
The cost of adoption depends on the type of adoption you pursue. As you consider how you might want to move forward, keep in mind there are several ways to pay for adoption, from fundraisers and grants to personal loans.
Public agency adoption
How it works: Adopting children through the public welfare system often means beginning as a foster parent. Each state has its own agency, which oversees licensing, education, placement and support for adoptive families.
What it costs: Adoption from foster care is a low-cost option for parents. Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the Children’s Bureau under the federal Office of the Administration for Children and Families, characterizes foster care adoption as “virtually free of cost.” The majority of foster adoptions cost less than $1,000, according to the most recent Adoptive Families magazine adoption cost survey conducted in 2016-17.
This path to adoption is inexpensive because of state and federal adoption assistance programs put in place to make it more accessible and appealing to adopt children who are in foster care. These children are often older and may have experienced trauma or have special needs.
Helpful resource: The Children’s Bureau offers a state-by-state guide to adoption assistance.
Private adoption
How it works: Parents can work with an adoption agency or attorney to find and adopt children in the U.S. Generally, the process of adopting a child is similar whether you work through a private agency or independently with the help of an attorney. It involves a home study, placement, counseling, training and legal documentation.
What it costs: The cost of a private adoption varies. Working with an agency, you can expect to spend between $30,000 and $60,000, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway. It’s slightly less expensive to pursue an independent adoption, which involves working with an attorney. That process ranges in cost from $25,000 to $45,000. Private adoptions are more likely to involve newborns. That means in addition to paying for the adoption process, you would also cover the birth mother’s medical and other expenses.
Intercountry adoption
How it works: This path involves working with private or public adoption agencies in countries outside the United States. The process and fees vary by country and depend on the organization you work with, which could be a government office, agency, orphanage, nonprofit or an individual like an attorney. Some aspects of the process are unique. You’ll have to work through the immigration process, including applying for passports and travel visas, and navigate foreign legal systems. The road can be long. Child Welfare Information Gateway estimates intercountry adoption can take one to five years to complete.
What it costs: On average, intercountry adoption costs $20,000 to $50,000.
Expenses that may arise when adopting a child
Home study
A home study marks the beginning of the adoption process.
During a home study, prospective parents — and their family members — are checked out to make sure they would provide a safe and loving place for a child. A home study requires you to produce documents, including financial statements, employment records and a letter from your doctor about your latest physical. You’d also undergo background checks and interviews. This evaluation phase can cost from $2,000 to $4,000, according to The Gladney Center for Adoption, an adoption agency based in Fort Worth, Texas. That price may be adjusted based on your family’s income.
This step in the process also includes education and training. Some of it may be provided by the state agency that administers the home study at a cost ranging from $300 to $600. Additional hours of training are likely required and would be done on your own through books or online courses, which can cost $100 to $200 per person.
Lastly, during the home study, you’ll agree to a post-placement reporting phase. In the United States, a social worker visits the family multiple times over a six-month period after the child has been placed in the home. Fees for post-placement reporting can range from $1,500 to $2,000.
Search fees
When working with a private agency or an attorney, a major expense in the process goes to searching for and getting matched with a birth mother. Fees for a consultant and advertising may be rolled into an adoption agency’s overall fee. But if you’re pursuing an independent adoption, you’ll likely pay for these services separately and costs can range more widely, depending on how and where you want to advertise. The Gladney Center estimates consulting and advertising can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for an independent adoption.
Birth mother expenses
People adopting a newborn will be responsible for paying the birth mother’s expenses. This can include medical bills and some living expenses, as well as counseling, legal fees and travel. The Gladney Center estimates these expenses can cost between $6,000 and $8,000 for parents pursuing a private adoption.
Legal fees
There are a lot of legal requirements in adoption, including terminating the rights of the birth parents, court filings, negotiating birth mother expenses and finalizing the adoption after the post-placement reporting period. An adoption agency may roll some of these expenses into its overall fee.
If you’re pursuing an independent adoption, legal fees will be the bulk of your expenses, costing between $7,000 and $15,000.
Travel
Travel costs can crop up for domestic adoptions, though they’re most significant in intercountry adoptions. Distance is a key factor in how much you’ll pay for travel. Another is time. You might be waiting days or weeks for the final legal approval to bring a child home, especially when crossing state lines or country borders.
For private domestic adoptions, you could pay up to $3,000 in travel expenses, according to the Gladney Center. (You could look at getting a travel credit card to offset some of those expenses.)
Estimates vary for intercountry adoption-related travel. The cost can depend on the country where the child is living and the organization you’re working with. In a cost estimate on its website, New Beginnings — an international adoption agency based in New York — says the adoption of a child in South Korea could include $6,000 to $9,000 in travel expenses. The Child Welfare Information Gateway advised in a September 2020 intercountry adoption guide that adoptive parents are often required to be in the child’s country to finalize the adoption. It may require multiple, extended visits.
Raising a child
Adoption in itself can be a long and expensive process, but that’s only a precursor to the full cost of raising a child. New parents should budget for those expenses, which can top $21,000 in the first year alone.

Charles will be a brilliant King, says Cameron
King Charles is set to become a “brilliant” monarch after serving the “longest apprenticeship in history”, David Cameron has said.
The former prime minister disclosed that when he was in office, he had audiences with the then Prince of Wales so Charles could prepare for the day when, as sovereign, he was holding weekly meetings with the premier.
“I had audiences with Prince Charles when Queen Elizabeth II was on the throne because he wanted to start thinking about how to conduct those audiences,” Mr Cameron told the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme – in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday.
Former prime ministers David Cameron and Theresa May at the Accession Council (Kirsty O´Connor/PA)
“From what I saw he will be brilliant at that job. Brilliant at listening, brilliant at asking questions, giving wise advice and sage counsel. This has probably been the longest apprenticeship in history.”
He said that, like his mother, the new King was a “superb diplomat” and predicted he would prove a “very worthy successor” when it came to supporting the British government of the day abroad.
“I saw him in action at Commonwealth heads of government meetings and he knows everybody personally, he interacts with them brilliantly,” Mr Cameron said.
“The soft power that the British monarch brings to help a prime minister and a government with all those international relations, it was obviously outstanding under Queen Elizabeth II.
“I think you will see Charles III will be a very worthy successor in that regard.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Rocket Sanders ran for a career-high 156 yards and scored Arkansas’ first two touchdowns, and KJ Jefferson ran for a score and threw for another to lift the No. 16 Razorbacks past South Carolina 44-30 on Saturday.
He finished 18 of 21 for 162 yards passing and ran for 67 yards.
“I thought he played better today than he did last week. I thought he was more accurate,” Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said. “I thought he was in total control. ... He pretty much can take over the game when he wants to.”
A 23-yard touchdown pass to Warren Thompson with 12:09 left in the fourth quarter provided the key score, giving Arkansas a 19-point edge. South Carolina had fumbled on its previous drive after Jefferson’s 2-yard touchdown run.
Arkansas scored on its first three possessions of the game, all of which went for 12 plays or more.
Sanders finished the first two and freshman Rashod Dubinion had his first career touchdown, giving Arkansas a 21-3 lead in the second quarter.
Sanders had his second straight 100-yard rushing game after getting the first of his career last week.
“I think he’s becoming an all-around back a little bit more,” Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said. “I thought he played really, really well. Two 100-yard days back-to-back is pretty good. He’s a better back than he was a year ago.”
Spencer Rattler was 23 of 38 with 361 yards passing for South Carolina (1-1, 0-1), though 173 of those came in the fourth quarter when the Gamecocks were chasing from way behind.
Rattler’s 62-yard touchdown pass to Antwane Wells Jr. in the third quarter pulled the Gamecocks within five. When he sought Wells in the end zone again in the fourth, he was intercepted by Dwight McGlothern.
Arkansas, which was seventh in FBS averaging 228 yards a game on the ground last year, ran for 300 against South Carolina.
“I was really proud of our offensive line. We asked them to kind of control the game and I felt like they did. I think the offensive line wore them down,” Pittman said.
The Gamecocks had an interception and lost two fumbles.
A BIG LOSS IN A BIG WIN
Pittman said after the game that preseason All-SEC safety Jalen Catalon would miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury. Catalon was lost midway through Arkansas’ win over Cincinnati last week.
Catalon was a Freshman All-American two seasons ago and made first-team All-SEC honors over the summer despite missing the back-half of the Razorbacks’ season last year because of a shoulder injury.
IT’S BEEN A WHILE
Arkansas’ win over South Carolina was the Razorbacks’ first since 2011. The teams had met only three times since before Saturday with the Gamecocks winning each.
THE TAKEAWAY
South Carolina: The Gamecocks had moments, but consistency was lacking in coach Shane Beamer’s second year.
Arkansas: The Razorbacks’ defense held up well without two starters in the secondary, including former freshman All-America safety Jalen Catalon.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Arkansas likely won’t do any worse than staying put at No. 16 when the polls are released Sunday.
UP NEXT
South Carolina: Hosts defending national champion Georgia in Week 3
Arkansas: Missouri State comes to town next week, lead by former Razorbacks head coach Bobby Petrino.

Singleton’s running leads Penn State over Ohio 46-10
Nick Singleton rushed 10 times for 179 yards and two touchdowns and Penn State’s defense dominated Ohio 46-10 on Saturday.
Penn State (2-0) hadn’t had a 100-yard rusher since November 2020, but got big run after big run from Singleton, a freshman who torched the Bobcats for touchdown sprints of 70 and 44 yards in the first and fourth quarters.
In between, quarterbacks Sean Clifford and Drew Allar played clean enough and the Nittany Lion defense bore down to force eight punts, a safety and a turnover on downs.
Ohio (0-2) crossed midfield just three times.
Meanwhile, Penn State’s offense continued to blossom.
Clifford completed 19-of-27 passes for 213 yards, ran for a score and threw for another as Penn State scored on three of its first five possessions.
The sixth-year quarterback capped a 12-play opening drive with a 1-yard scoring plunge before Singleton dashed down the sideline on the Nittany Lions’ second possession to make it 14-0 late in the first quarter. Clifford threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell Tinsley in the third before yielding to Allar.
The Nittany Lions didn’t miss a beat with the freshman running the offense, and more than 107,000 fans who packed Beaver Stadium cheered loudly when he entered.
Allar was 6 of 8 for 88 yards with touchdown passes to Omari Evans and Khalil Dinkins early in the third and fourth quarters.
Ohio broke the shutout just before halftime.
Trailing 19-0, Sieh Bangura leaned in from 1-yard out to cap an eight-play, 75-yard drive. But the Bobcats didn’t score again until Nathanial Vakos booted a 21-yard field goal with 6:50 to play.
THE TAKEAWAY
Ohio: Picked to finish in the lower half of the MAC standings by conference coaches, the Bobcats played hard on defense. They sacked Clifford three times in the first half but couldn’t hang with Penn State’s speed.
Penn State: Offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich has built a solid foundation in the first two weeks. More importantly, the running game came alive in this one as Singleton looked quick bouncing runs outside. A bonus? Fellow freshman back Kaytron Allen looked capable too with seven touches for 45 yards.

Leipzig's new coach Marco Rose has overseen a 3-0 rout of Borussia Dortmund, the club which fired him at the end of last season, while Bayern Munich were held 2-2 by Stuttgart in their third straight Bundesliga draw.
Serhou Guirassy scored an injury-time penalty for Stuttgart in another blow for Bayern on Saturday ahead of their Champions League group-stage game against Barcelona on Tuesday.
Bayern had also drawn their previous league games against Union Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Rose takes Leipzig to Real Madrid on Wednesday in the Champions League after claiming a refreshing victory over Dortmund on his Leipzig debut.
Rose, appointed by Leipzig on Thursday to take over from the fired Domenico Tedesco, steered Leipzig to what was just their second win in six Bundesliga games.
Will Orban got Rose's team off to a great start with a header after a corner in the sixth and Leipzig maintained the intensity until Dominik Szoboszlai made it 2-0 with a brilliant strike from distance before the break.
Dortmund improved after the interval but Amadou Haidara sealed Leipzig's win in the 84th.
Bayern were unable to profit much from Dortmund's slip, though it looked fine when Mathys Tel opened the scoring in the 36th. Alphonso Davies cut the ball back for the French teenager's first Bundesliga goal.
Stuttgart's Guirassy had an equaliser ruled out after the break through VAR for a foul by Chris Fuhrich in the build-up.
TV replays showed a slight tug on Joshua Kimmich's shirt before Fuhrich set up his teammate.
But Fuhrich atoned by scoring in the 57th when Konstantinos Mavropanos intercepted Davies' poor pass to play him through.
Then Jamal Musiala showed his skill with a sleight of foot to elude Atakan Karazor before sending the ball inside the left post on the hour-mark. It was the 19-year-old's fourth goal in five league appearances.
VAR played a role again when Matthijs de Ligt was penalised in injury time. Guirassy stole a point for Stuttgart with the spot kick.
Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen came back to draw at Hertha Berlin 2-2, Hoffenheim enjoyed a 4-1 win over 10-man Mainz, and Niko Kovac's Wolfsburg team earned a 1-0 win at his former club Eintracht Frankfurt.
Schalke defeated winless Bochum 3-1 in their derby later on Saturday, leaving the visitors with no points after six games and coach Thomas Reis under increasing pressure.
It was promoted Schalke's first win of the season.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sam Hartman passed for 300 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 23 Wake Forest beat Vanderbilt 45-25 on Saturday.
Hartman connected on 18 of 27 passes after he missed Wake Forest's opener against VMI because of a blood clot. The fifth-year quarterback directed the Demon Deacons to 11 wins and a trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game last season.
Hartman's 68-yard touchdown pass to A.T. Perry lifted Wake Forest (2-0) to a 14-3 lead with 36 seconds left in the first quarter. He found Christian Turner for a 2-yarder early in the second quarter, and then threw second-half touchdown passes to Taylor Morin and Cameron Hite.
A.J. Swann passed for two touchdowns for Vanderbilt in relief of Mike Wright. Swann also ran for a 2-point conversion.
Re’Mahn Davis had 18 carries for 87 yards for the Commodores (2-1), including a 2-yarder with 11:06 left in the first half that trimmed Wake Forest's lead to 21-10.
The Demon Deacons went ahead to stay when Wright threw a pass to the left under pressure that was intercepted by Coby Davis and returned 31 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter.
THE TAKEAWAY
Wake Forest: Solid performance by the Demon Deacons defense, which held the Commodores to 294 total yards, 113 on the ground. Vanderbilt averaged 512.5 total yards and 52.5 points through its first two games.
Vanderbilt: Wright had combined for 10 touchdowns in his first two games but was held to only one by Wake Forest. The scoring drive started at the Wake Forest 24-yard line when a punt by Matt Hayball was mishandled by Morin and recovered by Jameson Van Wharton for the Commodores. Davis went in from the 2.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Wake Forest entered the game at No. 23. The victory, an expected one though the Demon Deacons had lost their previous three games against Vanderbilt, should keep them around No. 23.
UP NEXT
Wake Forest returns home to play Liberty on Saturday.
Vanderbilt travels to Northern Illinois on Saturday.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — An emotional Harrison Ford appeared along with a new trailer for the fifth Indiana Jones film, cast members from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” showed footage from their forthcoming sequel, and trailers and details were unveiled from the widening TV presence of the “Star Wars” galaxy on Saturday at the D23 Expo.
An arena-sized audience gave a standing ovation to Ford, co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and director James Mangold after the trailer was shown at a presentation from Disney divisions Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios at the festival at the Anaheim Convention Center, next door to Disneyland.
“Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us,” the usually stoic Ford said, choking up at times. “I’m very proud to say to say that this one is fantastic.”
He pointed to Waller-Bridge and said, “this is one of the reasons.”
The 80-year-old Ford suggested this would be his last time donning the hat and holding the whip of one of the two characters that made him famous.
“This is it,” he said, as shouts of “no” came from the crowd. “I will not fall down for you again.”
The 37-year-old Waller-Bridge said Ford showed no signs of slowing down, saying “I had the time of my life making this movie,” and “keeping up with this guy is exhausting.”
The trailer shows Ford cracking that whip in front of a group of heavily armed henchmen with Waller-Bridge at his side.
The film, whose title has yet to be announced, is set for release on June 30, 2023. It also stars Mads Mikkelsen, Toby Jones and Antonio Banderas, and is the first in the franchise not directed by Steven Spielberg.
Angela Bassett and Winston Duke were among the cast members who presented part of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which is set for release on Nov. 11.
The sequence shows a team trying to steal some of the nation of Wakanda’s precious substance vibranium, and a Wakandan team beating them back.
It has not been clear how the film would deal with the death of the title star of the first film, Chadwick Boseman, who died of prostate cancer in 2020.
But the footage acknowledged that his character T’Challa had died, and suggests that his sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, might be the next Black Panther.
“We had to meet his level of excellence, and we did,” Bassett said.
Neither the “Indiana Jones” trailer nor the “Black Panther” footage were released outside of the convention hall.
Marvel also announced cast members of the forthcoming Phase 5 films from its cinematic universe, “Captain America: New World Order” and “Thunderbolts.”
Anthony Mackie will take up the familiar shield as Captain America in the movie slated for a May 2024 release, as he did at the end of the television series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and he’ll be joined by Tim Blake Nelson as central villain the Leader. Danny Ramirez and Shira Haas will play heroes alongside Mackie.
Marvel’s team of antiheroes “Thunderbolts” will include role reprisals from Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier and David Harbour as Red Guardian. Wyatt Russell and Julia Louis Dreyfus also appear in the film set to be released in July of 2024.
Pedro Pascal and the cast of “The Mandalorian” unveiled a trailer and new details for the series’ third season and Diego Luna did the same for the forthcoming series “Andor” as Lucasfilm and the “Star Wars” galaxy deepens its television presence with no big screens in sight.
“You are a Mandalorian no more,” Pascal’s title character is told in the trailer for the new season, a penalty for his having removed his helmet and showed his face.
The trailer shows the Mandalorian and his baby-Yoda sidekick Grogu zipping through space, and suggests an increased role for “Battlestar Galactica” star Katee Sackhoff and her character Bo-Katan Kryze, who first appeared in season two.
Carl Weathers and Giancarlo will both reprise their roles, and “Back to the Future” star Christopher Lloyd is joining the cast. The show is set to premiere in February.
In a different Lucasfilm galaxy, a trailer was unveiled for the forthcoming TV series “Willow,” based on the 1988 Ron Howard fantasy film. Christian Slater was announced as a cast member, and appeared live to talk about it.
“I love the fantasy, the sci-fi, just getting to be a part of this show was, I will be honest with you an absolute dream come true,” Slater said. “This was a very fun character.”
The character was described only as someone aiding in a quest who is a friend of Madmartigan, the rogue adventurer played by Val Kilmer in the film.
The trailer brings epic echoes of “Lord of the Rings,” with original “Willow” actor Warwick Davis leading a group of teen adventurers in cloaks on a magical mission.
All the shows will stream on Disney+.

“All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” Laura Poitras’s epic documentary about photographer Nan Goldin and her activism against the Sackler family and their art connections has been awarded the Golden Lion for best film at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
Poitras, the American filmmaker behind the Oscar-winning Edward Snowden documentary “Citizenfour,” thanked the festival for recognizing that “documentary is cinema” at the ceremony Saturday evening in Venice. Neon is expected to release the film in theaters this fall and HBO Documentary Films recently acquired it for a television run.
Runner up went to Alice Diop’s “Saint Omer,” the narrative debut from the documentarian about a young novelist observing the trial of a woman accused of infanticide.
Cate Blanchett and Colin Farrell won the top acting prizes. Blanchett won for her performance as a renowned conductor in Todd Field’s “TÁR” and Farrell for playing a man who has broken up with by his longtime friend in Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin.”
“Thank you so much, it’s such an enormous honor,’ Blanchett said, having just flown back to Venice from the Telluride Film Festival where the film also played.
Her performance as a successful woman in the world of international music whose reputation comes under threat has gotten nearly universal acclaim.
“I’m shocked to get this and thrilled,” Farrell said in a live video message. McDonagh was on site to collect the prize before he got one of his own for screenplay.
Luca Guadagnino won the Silver Lion award for best director for the cannibal romance “Bones and All” starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell, who also was recognized for her performance for best young actress.
“I have a speech prepared because I’m nervous,” Russell said. “I’m grateful beyond belief to be standing here. So many of my heroes are in this room.
Russell also thanked Guadagnino.
“He’s been a great friend to me and I love him so dearly,” Russell said.
The jury also gave a special jury prize to “No Bears,” by imprisoned Iranian director Jafar Panâhi. The acclaimed director was in July ordered by Iran to serve six-year prison sentence from a decade ago that had never been enforced. The order came as the government seeks to silence criticism amid growing economic turmoil and political pressure.
Julianne Moore led the jury that selected Saturday’s winner from a pool of 23 films that included many Oscar hopefuls. The Oscar-winner presided over a jury that included French director Audrey Diwan, whose film “Happening” won the Golden Lion last year, author Kazuo Ishiguro (“Never Let Me Go”), who has been judging from his hotel room after testing positive for COVID-19, and Iranian actor Leila Hatami (“A Separation”). Also on the main jury were Italian director Leonardo Di Costanzo (“The Inner Cage”) Argentinian filmmaker Mariano Cohn (“Official Competition”) and Rodrigo Sorogoyen (“The Candidate”).
Premiering in competition at Venice has launched many successful Oscar campaigns in recent years, leading to nominations and even wins. Seven times in the last nine years the best director Oscar has gone to a film that world premiered at the festival, including Chloé Zhao, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro G. Iñarritu, twice, Guillermo del Toro and Damien Chazelle. It’s also debuted a handful future best picture winners like “Nomadland,” “The Shape of Water” and “Birdman.”
Outside of the festival’s acting winners, Venice cemented several films, actors and directors, as strong awards contenders for the season to come. Brendan Fraser moved many to tears for his portrayal of Charlie, a reclusive English teacher who weighs 600 pounds and is attempting to mend things with his estranged, cruel daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink) in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale.”
If standing ovation timers are any indication of reception, some of the most beloved of the festival were Andrew Domink’s “Blonde,” an evocative, semi fictional account of Marilyn Monroe’s life, starring Ana de Armas, and “The Banshees of Inisherin.” “Banshees” got a reported 13-minute standing ovation to “Blonde’s” 14 minutes—nearly double that of most other well-liked films.
Other films made also waves but went home from the awards empty handed, like Netflix’s “Athena,” a pulsating French drama about the murder a young boy that incites an all-out war in the community, led by his other brothers. Another, quite different, French film also charmed audiences and critics: Rebecca Zlotowski’s “Other People’s Children,” about a 40-year-old childfree woman (Virinie Efira) dating a man (Roschdy Zem) with a young daughter.
Some were more divisive, like Iñárritu’s “Bardo (or False Chronicles of a Handful of Truths),” a nearly three-hour, surrealist epic about a journalist returning his home country, Mexico, for the first time in 20 years. Loosely based on Iñárritu’s experience of finding success in another country, the film was beloved by some and not by others. Noah Baumbach’s Don DeLillo adaptation “White Noise” also received mixed reviews.
One major surprise was the generally negative reception for “The Son,” Florian Zeller’s follow-up to his Oscar-winner “The Father,” that stars Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern.
Aside from awards, it was a Venice for the books, with high glamour from Timothée Chalamet, who stunned in a red backless halter neck from Haider Ackermann, and Florence Pugh, looking the part of a movie star in a sheer tulle off the shoulder Valentino that slyly evoked both classic romanticism and playful modernity, and high drama, mostly around Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling.” The behind-the-scenes intrigue on Wilde’s film led to some excessive silliness as the world watched the cast’s every move for clues, from where people were seated, to who looked at who during the premiere.
Chris Pine even became an unlikely meme for various shots of him looking zoned out at a press conference. Then came “spit-gate” where onlookers turned into amateur sleuths trying to determine whether or not Harry Styles spit on Pine before the world premiere of the film (he didn’t). As ever, Venice gets people talking.

LONDON (AP) — Charles became king immediately upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday. He was officially proclaimed King Charles III on Saturday during a ceremony at St. James’s Palace in London, and many more formal steps will follow until his coronation, which may not come for months.
A look at the centuries-old traditions and rules surrounding the accession of a new British monarch:
WHO FORMALLY DECLARES NEW MONARCHS?
In Britain the death of a sovereign and their successor is officially proclaimed by the Accession Council, formed of a large group of senior politicians and officials.
Traditionally the council is summoned within 24 hours of a monarch’s death for a ceremonial meeting at St. James’s Palace. But the accession ceremony for King Charles III was delayed because the queen’s death wasn’t announced until early evening on Thursday, and there was not enough time to set the plans in motion for Friday.
The Accession Council is formed of members of the Privy Council — mostly past and present politicians, including all living prime ministers, as well as Church of England leaders and senior royals — and other ceremonial leaders, such as the Lord Mayor of London.
The Privy Council advises the monarch and is one of the oldest parts of government. It can be traced back to the time of the Norman kings when the monarch met with a group of advisers in private, predating the modern functions of a government cabinet.
Historically the entire Privy Council is called to the Accession Council to oversee the new monarch’s proclamation. But just 200 were summoned Saturday because the number of Privy Council members now stands at 700.
The ceremony was broadcast live on television for the first time Saturday.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER CHARLES IS PROCLAIMED?
Shortly after a new monarch is formally confirmed, the sovereign holds his first Privy Council meeting, makes a personal declaration and then signs an oath to maintain the Church of Scotland, according to the Act of Union of 1707.
Afterward, a heraldic official known as the Garter King of Arms publicly reads out the proclamation of the new sovereign from a balcony at St. James’s Palace and gun salutes are fired around London.
The proclamation is also read aloud in locations across the U.K., including in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast — the capital cities of the other three nations that make up the United Kingdom.
Union flags will be flown at full-staff for about 24 hours, before returning to half-staff in mourning for the queen.
Parliament is then recalled as soon as possible for senior lawmakers to take their oaths of allegiance to the new monarch.
The new monarch must make another oath to declare that he is a faithful Protestant and will maintain the Protestant succession later at the state opening of Parliament. The oath is mandated by the Accession Declaration Act of 1910.
WHAT ABOUT THE CORONATION?
After the initial flurry of formalities, there will be months before the next big event — the king’s coronation. This is to allow for a period of mourning and to leave time for officials to organize the ceremony.
Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on June 2, 1953 — some 16 months after her accession on Feb. 6, 1952, when her father, King George VI, died.
The date for Charles’ coronation is not yet known. It will most likely be held at London’s Westminster Abbey, where coronation ceremonies have taken place for the past 900 years.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Two American Indian tribes in South Dakota have joined forces to purchase 40 acres around the Wounded Knee National Historic Landmark, the site of one of the deadliest massacres in U.S. history.
The Oglala Sioux and the Cheyenne River Sioux said the purchase of the land on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation was an act of cooperation to ensure the area was preserved as a sacred site. More than 200 Native Americans — including children and elderly people — were killed at Wounded Knee in 1890. The bloodshed marked a seminal moment in the frontier battles the U.S. Army waged against tribes.
“It’s a small step towards healing and really making sure that we as a tribe are protecting our critical areas and assets,” Oglala Sioux Tribe President Kevin Killer told The Associated Press.
The tribes agreed this week to petition the U.S. Department of the Interior to take the land into trust on behalf of both tribes. The Oglala Sioux tribe will pay $255,000 and the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe will pay $245,000 for the site, Indian Country Today reported. The title to the land will be held in the name of the Oglala Sioux tribe.
Marlis Afraid of Hawk, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe whose grandfather, Albert Afraid of Hawk, survived the 1890 massacre as a 13-year-old boy, said she was overjoyed to see the tribes take ownership. She said she carries on the oral tradition of telling her grandchildren how her grandfather survived by fleeing through a ravine after a rifle held by a U.S. calvary soldier failed to fire at him.
As a member of a group that represents the descendants of the massacre’s survivors, she had initially raised objections to the Oglala Sioux Tribe’s purchase of the land, but said the joint purchase made her feel “honored and grateful.”
Members of the Oglala Sioux, Standing Rock Sioux, Rosebud Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes were all at Wounded Knee in 1890, Afraid of Hawk said.
She hoped the site could be used for “education for the people who come and see the massacre site.”
“They need to know the history. It needs to come through the true, true Lakota people,” she said.
The tribes’ agreement ends a decades-long dispute over ownership of a site that has figured largely in Indigenous people’s struggles with the U.S. government. Jeanette Czywczynski became sole owner of the property after her husband, James, died in 2019. He had 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 even though 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 by making unsubstantiated claims of having Native American ancestry. Depp did not follow through on the purchase.
Killer, the Oglala Sioux Tribe’s president, said the tribe’s resolution for the land purchase calls for it to be preserved as a sacred site.
He said, “There’s still a lot of unresolved artifacts and items that should be left undisturbed.”
Manny Iron Hawk, another member of the Wounded Knee Survivor’s Association, said he saw the land acquisition as another step in the century-old Indian revival movement known as the Ghost Dance. The U.S. military was trying to suppress the Ghost Dance in 1890 after it had swept across Indigenous communities with a prophecy that colonial expansion would end and Native American communities would unite for prosperity.
“The Ghost Dance was a beautiful dream for our people. It wasn’t a dream of death, it was a dream of life,” Iron Hawk said. “Today we are the new Ghost Dancers and we carry on a duty that came to us to do what we can for our relatives there at Wounded Knee.”

Fracking power could eclipse North Sea gas: As PM Liz Truss lifts ban, shale could become one of Britain's biggest sources of energy in just 15 years
- Fracking has proved controversial
- Residents who live near sites have complained about various issues
- These include groundwater contamination and even earth tremors
- Ministers halted fracking in England at the end of November 2019
Plan: Prime Minister Liz Truss has told MPs the fracking moratorium will be removed
Shale gas extraction – better known as fracking – could eclipse North Sea production within 15 years after Liz Truss lifted a controversial ban.
The new Prime Minister has told MPs the fracking moratorium will be removed in areas where local communities support industry plans, paving the way for a boom.
Figures from the National Grid show fracking's contribution to Britain's energy needs could match the North Sea by 2037, and surpass it the following year.
The analysis suggests shale production would start slowly in 2026, before becoming one of the UK's main energy supplies.
Truss claimed, however, that extraction from shale could be flowing within six months, which means it could reach its peak far sooner.
Fracking has proved controversial. Residents who live near sites have complained about the use of chemicals, groundwater contamination, noise, air pollution and even earth tremors.
Ministers halted fracking in England at the end of November 2019 after a string of confrontations between shale gas companies and local communities. The industry strongly denied many of the accusations and said the process has improved over the years.
The National Grid forecast indicates fracking could help the UK significantly reduce its reliance on costly or unreliable imports.
Fears over Britain's energy security have been driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine which has triggered a gas crisis across Europe and sent household bills spiralling.
This prompted the Government to announce an 'energy price guarantee' last week which will see average annual household bills capped to £2,500 a year over the next two years. Andrew Bridgen, Tory MP for North West Leicestershire and a vocal supporter, of fracking, hailed Truss's announcement on Thursday. 'I am delighted the moratorium has been lifted,' he said.
'We should have started fracking two years ago. And the next best time to start is immediately. We need that gas.'
A group of backbenchers sent a letter to Downing Street earlier this year, claiming that shale could unlock '50 years of cheap gas'. Charles McAllister, director of UK Onshore Oil and Gas, welcomed the Prime Minister's decision.
He said: 'The development of UK shale gas offers community benefits, tax revenue, tens of thousands of well-paid and skilled jobs, a real chance to level up the UK and energy security. Imports offer none of these benefits.
'UK shale gas production can also be instrumental in delivering the goals of net zero and the Energy Security Strategy.'
Fracking releases a natural gas found in shale rock. It works by injecting water, sand and chemicals into the rock at high pressures to create cracks or fractures so gas can be extracted.
In its latest forecast in July, the National Grid listed four 'future energy scenarios' around the UK's consumption and supplies for the next three decades.
Shale exploration is only listed in a single scenario – one which means the UK will not meet its net zero emissions target by 2050. The National Grid said it recognised 'high levels of public scrutiny' exist around shale.
But it said fracking could reduce our future reliance on imports – and by 2040, it could supply 12billion cubic metres of gas, or 15 per cent of current demand.
This will coincide with supplies from the North Sea declining to almost nothing by 2050.
The UK currently has two shale gas wells ready to operate through fracking firm Cuadrilla.
And British energy explorer IGas said in March it could heat homes with shale gas by the end of the year if the fracking ban was lifted. It said it could prepare a planning application within weeks to extract shale gas in Nottinghamshire, which could be used to heat up to 125,000 homes.
IGas had been developing a shale site in the village of Misson before the 2019 moratorium.
But critics have argued Ministers should be prioritising cheaper and more easily accessible renewable energy over shale.
Even Kwasi Kwarteng, now Chancellor, has expressed scepticism around fracking.
In March, the then Business Secretary wrote in The Mail on Sunday: 'Even if we lifted the fracking moratorium tomorrow, it would take up to a decade to extract sufficient volumes, and it would come at a high cost for communities and our precious countryside.'
One industry expert, who asked not to be named, said: 'We know from the experience of North America that shale wells vary hugely.
'There will be good wells and bad wells. You can't just go by the first one and think it's a gusher. That could be the exception rather than the rule.'

Which pumpkin carving supplies are the best?
Carving pumpkins is a classic autumn tradition that both children and adults can enjoy. There is no better way to get into the Halloween spirit than picking pumpkins, enjoying a hot drink and creating a unique work of art.
Individual tools and all-inclusive sets allow you to easily carve a traditional, spooky or funny design as you celebrate the fall holiday. These tips and recommendations will help improve your carving experience, whether it’s your first time or if you’re an experienced carver.
Pumpkin carving tips
Choose a perfect pumpkin
It doesn’t matter if you pick a pumpkin from a patch or buy one from a local store. You’ll want to choose one that isn’t too big or small for your intended design. The best pumpkins for carving have an area clear of any significant dents or scratches.
Wash your pumpkin
By simply washing your pumpkin with water and soap, you can remove any caked-on dirt and give yourself a better canvas to work with when carving.
Carving
You might be tempted to carve your pumpkin right away, but if the date is too far from Halloween, there is a greater risk of your pumpkin rotting. Depending on the weather and climate in your area, carved pumpkins can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.
Thin your pumpkin
Once you’ve cut a hole in the top and scooped out the seeds, take some time to scrape and thin out the interior walls of the pumpkin. Doing this will make carving a bit easier, especially for younger children.
Practice your design
If you are confident, you could start carving without a plan. However, it is usually a good idea to sketch out your design and then transfer or trace it onto the pumpkin’s face. This will give you an outline to follow.
Consider etching or scraping
You do not need to carve all your pumpkins fully. Some designs benefit from etching or scraping out shapes and patterns to allow light to shine through differently in specific areas.
Use the seeds
Don’t just toss the seeds. Once you have removed all of the seeds, wash them and roast them in the oven for a tasty snack you can top with salt or your favorite seasoning.
Coat your pumpkin
Using petroleum jelly to coat your pumpkin’s carved edges and interior, you can actually help prolong its life. This will not only help protect against frost on cold nights but will also keep moisture sealed inside and prevent mold so your jack-o-lantern won’t wither and wrinkle.
Add lights
Finally, once your pumpkin is ready to be put on display, consider adding a source of light to the interior as a way to make your design stand out.

Bryce Young proves ‘it’ factor again as Alabama escapes Texas
It wasn’t pretty, but No. 1 Alabama escaped Austin with a 20-19 road win over unranked Texas on Saturday, thanks to plentiful penalties, drops, and other self-inflicted errors.
Those mistakes allowed the Longhorns to stay in the game all the way to the end, despite losing highly touted freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers to a shoulder injury early in the game.
Bama turned to their Heisman-winning quarterback in their hour of need, and like he usually does in the biggest moments, Bryce Young delivered.
Young’s final stat line wasn’t spectacular (27/39, 213 yards, TD), but it was what he did with the game on the line that should remind NFL scouts that he should be one of the first quarterbacks off the board in next year’s draft.
After six straight punts, Alabama’s first possession of the fourth quarter was Young’s cue to take over the game. Young engineered an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that gave the lead back to the Crimson Tide, finishing it off with a cross-body touchdown pass to Jahmyr Gibbs for the score.

The Tide would need another hero drive from Young, though, after the Longhorns took the lead back with a 49-yard field goal in the final minutes. The defending Heisman Trophy winner rose to the occasion yet again, taking over with 1:29 remaining in the game, and marching his offense right back down the field. Young hit Gibbs again for a 20-yard gain, then shook an unblocked blitzter before taking off on a 20-yard scramble to help set up what would prove to be the game-winning field goal with just 10 seconds left.
WHAT A PLAY BRYCE YOUNG 😤

Some scouts will find reasons to believe Young won’t be able to replicate these kinds of moments and performances at the next level, likely pointing to his lack of ideal size (6-0, 195) as evidence that the NFL game will bee too much for a passer of that stature.
They would be wise to go back to the film, though, and see what Young does in the clutch moments, when the game is on the line. Last year’s Iron Bowl tape should help, too.
For three quarters, Alabama played like anything but the best team in the nation.
It didn’t matter, because Bryce Young is their quarterback.

Harris rallies UTSA over Army in overtime, 41-38
WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Frank Harris threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner to JT Clark in overtime, rallying UTSA to a 41-38 victory over Army. Army took the lead on the first possession of overtime on Quinn Maretzki’s first field goal of the season before Harris brought back UTSA again. Trailing 28-14 midway through the third quarter, Harris directed the Roadrunners to three straight touchdowns, taking the lead 34-28 with Brenden Brady’s 1-yard run. Cade Ballard threw for 221 yards and Army finished with 304 yards in the air, the most for the Black Knights since they had 305 against Houston in 2001.

NYC officials say water at public housing development cleared for drinking after lab retracts incorrect results that found high arsenic levels
By Liam Reilly and Christina Maxouris, CNN
New York City officials say the water at a Manhattan public housing complex has been cleared for drinking after a lab which had claimed there were high levels of arsenic later said those results were incorrect and issued a retraction.
Last week, Fabien Levy, press secretary to New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Twitter officials had initiated water testing in August at the Jacob Riis public housing after the city’s Housing Authority received reports of “cloudy water.” Preliminary results showed arsenic levels that were higher than federal standards and the city advised residents not to drink or cook until there was “more conclusive information,” Levy said last week.
On Friday, a week since that announcement, Levy said that the lab which had conducted those initial tests, Environmental Monitoring and Technologies, issued a “full retraction” of those results and called them “incorrect.”
“Worse yet, the company has now admitted to being the ones that introduced arsenic into the samples, leading to the false results,” Levy’s statement said. The lab released results of a retest and found the samples were negative for arsenic, Levy added.
“We have now tested more than 140 points — both at the source and at the point of delivery — and we can confidently say the water at Riis Houses is and has been free of any discernable amount of arsenic since the initial tests were initiated in August,” the statement added.
The city now intends to pursue “all available legal options” on behalf of the development’s residents, Levy added.
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander said on Twitter that even if the arsenic test was a false positive, tenants in the development “deserve independent verification & compensation,” and highlighted their “fundamentally broken trust & anger.”
In a news release attached to the city’s statement, the lab said it became aware of the situation on Wednesday and “immediately began an internal investigation into the original results” that had found higher levels of arsenic. The company said that the original testing method for the water samples reported in August included a test for silver, which required procedures that introduced “trace levels or arsenic.” The new tests, conducted this week, did not include those procedures, avoiding “all potential contamination,” the lab said, and retracted its previous arsenic results.
CNN has reached out to the company for further comment.
On Saturday, Adams, the mayor, said the city’s health and mental hygiene department reviewed the final results and found the water was “well within EPA drinking water quality standards.”
The mayor added that he stopped by the development and drank the water himself.
“While having the basic need of drinking water is welcome news, it is the bare minimum. It is unacceptable that Environmental Monitoring and Technologies introduced arsenic into the samples that not only led to the false results, but to fear, turmoil, and massive inconvenience,” the mayor said in a Saturday statement.
In addition to pursuing legal options, the city will also look for ways to reimburse residents for related costs over the past week, the mayor said. City agencies will also no longer test water through the specific lab, he said.
The city had also said earlier this week it received results suggesting “the possible presence of the Legionella bacteria,” but officials suspected those results were inaccurate as well.
“As public health experts have noted, Legionnaires Disease cannot be contracted by drinking water,” the mayor said in his statement. “Additionally, we are actively reviewing our Legionella surveillance data, and have found no reported or confirmed cases of Legionnaires Disease at Riis Houses over the last 12 months.”

Former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller subpoenaed by Justice Department
By Sara Murray, CNN
Stephen Miller, a former White House speechwriter and senior adviser under President Donald Trump, has been subpoenaed by the Justice Department, a source tells CNN.
The department is seeking information about the Save America PAC, alleged “fake electors,” and communications between Miller and a long list of people.
CNN has previously reported that a federal grand jury is examining the Save America leadership PAC, one of former President Donald Trump’s main political and fundraising vehicles, in an expansion of the criminal investigation into the events surrounding the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
There has been no evidence publicly that Miller has any involvement in the fake electors plot.
Miller’s attorney did not immediately respond to a call for comment.
The New York Times was the first to report Miller had been subpoenaed.
According to multiple sources familiar with the subpoenas, which were issued by a grand jury in Washington, DC, the Justice Department is seeking information related to the formation, fundraising and expenditures of Save America, which has amassed more than $100 million in contributions since it was formed in November 2020.
William Russell, a senior adviser to Trump, was the recipient of one of the subpoenas on Wednesday. Brian Jack, a White House political director under Trump, was also subpoenaed this week, according to the Times.
According to one source familiar with the language in the subpoenas, investigators may be looking into whether people associated with the Save America PAC defrauded people out of money using claims they knew to be false about the 2020 election being stolen.
Some of the subpoenas also requested any information that recipients previously turned over to the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot and communications recipients may have had with a broad list of people who worked to overturn the 2020 election results — including former Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Victoria Toensing, and Boris Epshteyn, an adviser to Trump’s 2020 campaign, among others.
That included communications with a list of people from various states, according to two subpoenas described to CNN.

'Let her rest in peace!' American singer Phoebe Bridgers is SLAMMED after sharing post which claims the Queen's 70-year reign had 'stolen and violated lives' after monarch's death
- The singer's post came following the death of the UK's longest-reigning royal
- American singer Phoebe, 28, re-shared an Instagram post criticising the Queen
- Many social media users criticised Phoebe for not sharing her beliefs earlier
- One said: 'And you wait till her death to say what you you think? How convenient'
- Phoebe's post was in stark contrast to most stars who paid tribute to the Queen
Phoebe Bridgers has come under fire from fans who criticised her for sharing a statement which said the Queen's reign had 'stolen, violated and traumatised lives'.
The singer's post came following the death of the UK's longest-reigning royal, Queen Elizabeth II, who died 'peacefully', aged 96, at Balmoral in Scotland on Thursday.
American singer Phoebe, 28, re-shared an Instagram post which read: 'Today we mourn all the stolen, violated and traumatized loves who were affected and destroyed during Queen Elizabeth II's reign.'
Many social media users criticised Phoebe for sharing the post following Her Majesty's death, declaring: 'Let her Rest In Peace. If you want to criticize her, do it while she breathing.'
Bold: Phoebe Bridgers, 28, has come under fire from fans who criticised her for sharing a statement which said the late Queen's reign had 'stolen, violated and traumatised lives'
The post was originally shared by RISEindigenous, an Indigenous artist initiative which works to amplify and evolve Indigenous art and culture.
'Today is a brutal reminder that war criminals will be honoured while entire populations and societies bear the battle scars of colonial genocide violence, invasion, religious persecution, and white supremacy.'
Musician Phoebe did not add to the words herself when she shared the post on her social media page.
Hitting out at the post, one person wrote on Twitter: 'And you wait till her death to say what you you think? How convenient...'
Farewell: The country's longest-reigning royal, Queen Elizabeth II, died 'peacefully', aged 96, at Balmoral in Scotland on Thursday
Someone else wrote: 'I don't care what she did. She's dead. Let her Rest In Peace. If you want to criticize her, do it while she breathing. Be respectful.'
One other person shared: 'But they wouldn't have said this when she was still breathing.'
While another person wrote: 'She's trying to be relevant but sadly failed.'
Backlash: Musician Phoebe did not add to the words herself when she shared the post on her social media page but she left some followers unimpressed
Someone else tweeted: 'She's trying to be woke but has no concrete facts to present as to how the Queen lead to actions that directly caused suffering on people. She holds no political power over common law.'
And another social media user protested: 'Someone has not studied history, she has done everything to bring peace and serenity always after WWII.'
While Phoebe chose to harshly critique the Queen's reign, most celebrities shared heartfelt tributes to the much-loved monarch.
Sir Elton John led an outpouring of tributes to the Queen after her death on Thursday.
The 75-year-old singer - who famously sang at Princess Diana's funeral, performing a reworked version of his song Candle In The Wind - took to his Instagram account to mourn the British monarch's passing at the age of 96.
Tribute: Music icon Sir Elton John, 75, said he will 'miss her dearly' after the Queen's historic 70-year reign, as a number of stars paid tribute this week
The musician wrote: 'Along with the rest of the nation, I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's passing.
'She was an inspiring presence to be around and lead the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, decency and a genuine caring warmth.
'Queen Elizabeth has been a huge part of my life from childhood to this day and I will miss her dearly.'
Stephen Fry joined the floods of famous faces paying tribute to Her Majesty by saying he was in tears at the news Britain's longest serving monarch had died at her home in Balmoral.
The 65-year-old comedian-and-actor posted on Twitter: 'Oh dear. Oh my. Oh heavens. Bless my soul. Oh lor. Heck. I don't know why I'm sobbing. Silly really. Oh dear.'
Former England soccer player Gary Lineker, 61, tweeted: 'Such a terribly sad day. Her Majesty The Queen has died. A truly remarkable woman who served her country with dignity, loyalty and grace. A comforting ever present in the lives of most of us. Rest In Peace, Your Majesty.'
All stars: Victoria Beckham and Mick Jagger were among the stars to take to social media to pay tribute to the Queen
Ex-Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham, 48, wrote online: 'Today is a very sad day not just for our country but for the entire world.
'I'm deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Monarch, Her Majesty The Queen.
'She will be remembered for her steadfast loyalty and service and my thoughts are with the royal family at this incredibly sad time.'
Whoopi Goldberg, 66, recalled about meeting the Queen and mentioned King Charles III's succession by saying: 'Several years ago, I met Queen Elizabeth at The Royal Variety Performance of 2009. As she approached me, all I could think of was WTH?? I'm an American kid from the projects, and I'm in the company of the Queen of England. I was in awe. Rest In Peace. God Save the King.'
Statement: King Charles III released this poignant statement reacting to the death of his 'beloved mother' as he took the throne today
Sharon Osbourne, 69, appeared on TalkTV on Thursday night to state she had a 'really really heavy heart' this evening.
She told presenter Piers Morgan: 'You and I and millions of people have grown up with her, and she's always been this tower of strength and dignity for our country and it is heartbreaking. I'm heartbroken for our country and I'm heartbroken for the family.
'So many people miss the point - they are a family, a tight knit family. The grandchildren and the children will be completely devastated.
'She represented strength. Why would anybody want to come to Britain? Because of our traditions, because of our royal family. Everything that comes with Britain, it's historical.
'She kept going and that's what makes Britain different from every other country - our traditions.
'Look what we went through this year with celebrating her - that was magnificent - nobody does that like the English.'
Announcement: Buckingham Palace announced the sad news of the Queen's passing on Thursday

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — C.J. Stroud threw three touchdown passes to Marvin Harrison Jr., TreVeyon Henderson ran for another two scores and No. 3 Ohio State raced past Arkansas State 45-12 on Saturday.
Harrison had a career-best seven catches for 184 yards. Coupled with his three-touchdown performance as a first-year player in the Rose Bowl last season, Harrison became only the second Ohio State receiver to have a pair of three-touchdown games in his career. Joey Galloway had multiple touchdown games in 1993 and '94.
Stroud, a Heisman Trophy favorite, had 207 passing yards and a pair of 42-yard touchdowns to Harrison in the first half. He finished 16 for 24 for 351 yards and four touchdowns as the Buckeyes (2-0) rolled up 538 yards.
Henderson busted through for an 8-yard scoring run in the first quarter and a 23-yard romp to open the second half. He finished with 10 carries for 87 yards.
Kicker Dominic Zvada was responsible for all of Arkansas State’s scoring, but Ohio State miscues set up the first two field goals.
Penalties helped put the Red Wolves in range for a 30-yard Dominic Zvada boot in the first quarter. Blown coverage and a missed tackle on a long James Blackman pass to Champ Flemings got them in range for another.
Blackman was 20 for 34 for 188 yards. Flemings caught 10 passes for 105.
The TAKEWAY
Arkansas State: The Red Wolves looked for a short time like they might keep up, but once Ohio State cleaned up its mistakes the rout was on. The Arkansas State offense couldn't get any traction against ever-changing Ohio State defensive looks.
Ohio State: After taking a while to get going, the Buckeyes rolled over the out-manned Sunbelt Conference squad. Stroud, who was still trying to shake off the preseason rust in last week's 21-10 win over Notre Dame, showed that he's regained his touch.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
A flashy offensive showing in the rout of a heavy underdog should keep the Buckeyes where they are.
UP NEXT
Arkansas State: At Memphis next Saturday night.
Ohio State: Hosts Toledo next Saturday.

You may get an IRS refund if you filed your taxes late during the pandemic
People and businesses that paid a penalty for filing their 2019 and 2020 tax returns late will automatically get a refund from the IRS.
The IRS estimates it will refund more than $1.2 billion in failure-to-file penalties to around 1.6 million taxpayers. Most of the refunds will go out by the end of September.
The tax agency announced last month that it would give back the money it fined taxpayers for failing to file their taxes on time during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The penalty relief issued today is yet another way the agency is supporting people during this unprecedented time,” IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in an August statement announcing the refunds.
The IRS said issuing the refunds would also allow the agency to “focus its resources on processing backlogged tax returns and taxpayer correspondence” ahead of the 2023 filing season.
How the refunds will work
Taxpayers who file late are typically charged a penalty of 5% of what they owe per month, up to a maximum of 25% of their unpaid tax bill.
There’s no need to contact the agency to ask for your money back. The IRS says the refunds will be sent automatically.
Taxpayers who were issued a late filing fee but never paid it will have the charge removed.
Failure-to-pay penalties are not eligible for a refund, the IRS said.
The vast majority of refunds will be sent via check while a small percentage of taxpayers will receive their refunds through direct deposit, according to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent organization within the IRS.
In order to qualify for a refund under the program, individuals and businesses have to have filed their late 2019 and 2020 tax returns on or before Sept. 30, 2022. The Taxpayer Advocate Service is urging taxpayers to file electronically.

ERIE, Colo. (KDVR) – An 82 year-old Colorado man wowed the crowd at a wedding reception with dance moves that defy his age — and now a video of his performance is going viral on Instagram.
“I’ve been dancing since about 50 years, you know,” Navnit Tailor, an architect from Erie, told Nexstar’s KDVR.
Last month, Tailor went to a wedding in Canada, where a DJ’s camera caught his exuberant, jubilant dance moves.
Tailor’s son, Samir Tailor, said his father is “always the first one to start the dancing.”
“The DJ there captured [his dance] and the next thing I know, a day or a couple days later, the DJ sent my sister a text saying, ‘Hey, your dad’s going viral.'”
Over the next 24 hours, the video had been seen by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. To date, the original Instagram video has been viewed over 1.2 million times.
“I was shocked,” Navnit Tailor said.
His family wasn’t. Dancing runs in the family’s blood, according to his son.
“My whole family is a set of dancers,” Samir Tailor said. “My sister and myself, we’ve always danced quite a bit, but you know, dad seems to capture the attention of people like no other.”
Samir believes that Instagram’s fascination with an 82 year-old man, being healthy and active enough to dance so excitedly, proves you’re never too old to act young.
“It really inspires people,” he said.

He sent condolences to Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss and said that ties between France and the United Kingdom have long roots in history.
In the future, “we shall strengthen them,” Macron said in a tweet. He added: “Our support for Ukraine, as well as food and energy security will be among our shared priorities.”

William, who is now heir to the throne behind his father King Charles III, said in a statement Saturday the queen “was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life.”
William, the Prince of Wales, said the late queen provide “an example of service and dignity in public life that was from a different age, but always relevant to us all.”

OTTAWA, Ontario — King Charles III has been 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 Saturday 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.

BALMORAL CASTLE, Scotland — Members of the royal family have stopped to take in a sea of floral tributes left by the public outside the gates of Balmoral Castle in Scotland after attending a prayer service nearby.
Queen Elizabeth II’s three youngest children — Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward — as well as their families greeted a crowd of people who gathered Saturday to line the route outside the castle.
Princess Eugenie, Andrew’s daughter, was seen laying a bunch of flowers, while the rest of the family took time to read the many tributes to the queen.
The tribute came two days after the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the same day that her eldest son King Charles III was officially proclaimed Britain’s monarch.
___
LONDON — Prime Minister Liz Truss and senior members of her government have taken oaths of loyalty to King Charles III in the House of Commons.
House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle was the first to pledge he will “bear true allegiance to his Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors,” followed by the longest-serving lawmakers and the prime minister.
All lawmakers pledge allegiance to the monarch after they are elected. Making a new vow when the monarch changes is not a legal requirement, but all 650 lawmakers will have a chance to retake the oath in the coming days if they wish.
Normal parliamentary business has been suspended during a period of mourning for the queen. The House of Commons is holding a rare Saturday session so that lawmakers can pay tribute to the late monarch.

A royal official has publicly proclaimed King Charles III as Britain’s new monarch during a ceremony at St. James’s Palace.
David White, the Garter King of Arms, read the proclamation from a balcony at the London royal residence flanked by trumpeters in gold-trimmed robes.
Gun salutes rang out in Hyde Park, at the Tower of London and at military sites around the U.K. as the proclamation was made.
Scarlet-robed soldiers in the palace courtyard presented arms and doffed their bearskin hats in a royal salute.
___
LONDON — King Charles III has declared that the day of his mother’s funeral will be a public holiday.
Charles approved the decision during his formal accession ceremony on Saturday.
The date of Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral has not been announced but is expected to be around Sept, 19.
This will be the second extra public holiday for Britons this year — a holiday was declared in early June for celebration’s to mark Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee, for 70 years on the throne.
___
LONDON — King Charles III has been officially announced as Britain’s monarch Saturday, in a ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live.
Charles automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday, but Saturday’s accession ceremony is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
The ceremony at St. James’s Palace, a royal residence in London, is attended by the Accession Council, made up of senior politicians and officials who advise the monarch. They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king will then join them to make a series of oaths and declarations.
It’s the first time the ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.

'She asked if I’d enjoyed the game... I was too tongue-tied to answer properly!' Southampton FA Cup-winning captain Peter Rodrigues recalls being the last player to receive the trophy at Wembley from the Queen
- Peter Rodrigues was handed the FA Cup by the Queen at Wembley in 1976
- Second-division Saints stunned Manchester United to win the trophy
- Rodrigues called the encounter 'one of the greatest moments of my life'
Peter Rodrigues, the last captain to receive the FA Cup from the Queen at Wembley, counted her as a lucky omen when Second Division Southampton shocked hot favourites Manchester United 1-0 in 1976.
With both teams usually playing in red, Saints wore a change strip, unaware their blue shorts would match the outfit Her Majesty had chosen to wear.
‘It was a special occasion that really started the night before when we were instructed at the hotel how to address the Queen, either Ma’am or Your Majesty,’ recalls Rodrigues, who had been a cup final loser seven years previously with Leicester City.
Peter Rodrigues captained Southampton to shock FA Cup win over Manchester United in 1976
‘They are memories that will live with me forever, from introducing Prince Philip to my team before the game — I remember him sharing a joke with our manager Lawrie McMenemy — to the end.
‘With us leading, I spent the last five minutes gazing up at the Queen and the cup that was next to her, thinking “I want to collect that from you, Ma’am”. And it happened, one of the greatest moments of my life.
‘Because we’d been in the dressing room when she’d arrived, we hadn’t seen what she was wearing. But when I walked up the steps past all the Saints fans, I saw she was in blue — I’m sure she wasn’t biased but maybe it was a sign.
‘Before I took the trophy, she congratulated me and asked if I’d enjoyed the game. I was too tongue-tied to answer properly, I just said thank you ma’am.
Rodrigues (left) became the final player to be handed the famous trophy by the Queen
‘This week with the very sad news, there have been pictures of it all over social media. It’s made me feel as proud as Punch. Winning the FA Cup was special, I shudder every year when I see the latest captain go up to lift it, but to receive it from the Queen — that was crazy. Incredible.’
Bobby Stokes scored the winner for Southampton in what is still regarded as one of the great all-time cup shocks.
Though horse racing was regarded as the Queen’s favourite sport, she did attend several cup finals earlier in her reign.
After 1976, she handed over Wembley duties to other members of her family and her grandson William is a keen football fan and president of the FA.
Then-United goalkeeper Alex Stepney recalled getting the opportunity to meet the late monarch the following year
For Saints team-mate Jim McCalliog, meeting the Queen that day completed a Royal hat-trick. ‘I’d played for Sheffield Wednesday against Everton in the 1966 cup final when Princess Margaret represented the Royal Family.
‘And when I played for Scotland against England, the players were introduced to Prince Philip,’ he said. ‘It was wonderful to meet the Queen. She had a lovely smile. As footballers, you were privileged to meet a lot of people and you never wanted to be boastful, but that was special.’
For losing United keeper Alex Stepney, there was to be a better meeting with Her Majesty the following year.
He said: ‘The cup final was a disappointment but the following year to mark the Jubilee, the Royal Yacht docked in Liverpool and I was invited to meet the Queen as Manchester United’s representative. It was a special day.’

RALEIGH, N.C (AP) — Devin Leary tied a program record by accounting for six touchdowns and No. 18 North Carolina State's defense surrendered 150 total yards as the Wolfpack beat Charleston Southern 55-3 in Saturday's home debut.
Leary threw four TD passes, including a perfect 24-yard wheel route to Jordan Houston down the left side and then a 40-yard strike over the middle to Anthony Smith after he shrugged blitzer Nick Perry off his back. Leary's two rushing scores included a 12-yard keeper in the first quarter, when the preseason Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year bounced off three hard hits before hitting the end zone for the game's first TD.
Celebrating his 23rd birthday, Leary wrapped up his day by hitting Chris Toudle for a 27-yard TD down the middle and a 45-0 lead with 12:48 left in the third.
The game offered N.C. State (2-0) a chance to regroup from last week's 21-20 win at East Carolina, with the Wolfpack carrying a No. 13 ranking in the AP Top 25 to Greenville and taking the victory when the Pirates missed two critical late kicks. That game was full of problems after halftime, including coming up scoreless on two drives with a combined six goal-line snaps as well as sputtering to 25 fourth-quarter yards.
That made recent days, along with kickoff against the Buccaneers (0-2) of the Championship Subdivision, a chance to clean up mistakes.
Charleston Southern's top highlight was a 48-yard field goal from Sam Babbush midway through the third quarter to break up the Wolfpack's shutout bid. Ross Malmgren threw for 111 yards but found himself under repeated pressure. Charleston Southern managed 36 yards rushing on 15 carries to remain winless all-time against Bowl Subdivision teams.
THE TAKEAWAY
Charleston Southern: The Buccaneers opened the season by surrendering 52 points at home against Western Carolina. And the Big South Conference program entered this one with an 0-25 mark against Bowl Subdivision opponents, including 0-15 against teams from the Power Five conferences. They never threatened to change that Saturday, either.
N.C. State: The storylines focused on improvements the Wolfpack could make after the ECU escape, not whether Dave Doeren's squad would beat a lower-division opponent. Leary and his teammates largely showed that, with the offense cracking the 40-point mark on its first snap after halftime and the defensive front generally overwhelming the Bucs.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
The close call at ECU cost the Wolfpack five spots in the AP Top 25 poll. This is unlikely to have a notable impact.
UP NEXT
Charleston Southern: The Buccaneers visit Eastern Kentucky next Saturday.
N.C. State: Texas Tech visits the Wolfpack next Saturday in an ACC-Big 12 matchup.

(NerdWallet) – My favorite emails in the past few months have been the ones from my bank, letting me know that my savings annual percentage yield has gone up and that overdraft fees have been canceled. If you haven’t gotten either of those lately, then it might be time to open a new bank account with a different financial institution.
You don’t have to abandon your current bank if it’s useful to you. As both a banking nerd and a general consumer, I find it helpful to have accounts at several different institutions: a traditional bank, a credit union and an online bank.
Each account gives me something that the others don’t. A traditional bank offers some products or services I can’t find at my online bank, while my online bank pays much higher interest rates. So using a mix of institutions can help you keep — and earn — more money.
Here are a few clear signs that you might need to choose a new bank, or at least open a new bank account.
You’re paying unnecessary fees
What used to be a rare phenomenon — a bank account with few fees — is becoming more common. “There’s just too much competition in both the neobanking space and even in traditional banking nowadays to be paying really any fees — particularly overdraft fees or fees just to have the account,” says Ramona Ortega, founder of My Money My Future, which focuses on closing the racial wealth gap and providing quality financial advice.
There are plenty of fee-free accounts available without any hoops to jump through to waive a monthly fee. And more and more banks are eliminating or at least reducing overdraft fees, so you definitely shouldn’t be paying those.
Your savings APY hasn’t increased recently
Even if you haven’t been able to increase your savings contributions this year (thanks, inflation), you should be seeing a little more money added to your account. As we’ve seen several times this year, when the Federal Reserve raises the federal funds rate, banks generally also raise their rates. If your bank account hasn’t increased your savings interest rate this year, that’s a red flag (and a green flag to change banks).
The national average savings rate has increased from 0.06% at the beginning of 2022 to 0.13%[1] as of August 2022, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., but the best interest rates are now more than 12 times that (that’s around 1.65% and up).
Your bank’s customer service isn’t accessible enough
You should be able to get help easily for your banking woes, through a customer service channel you like using. Prefer to communicate online but your bank or credit union doesn’t offer online support? Look for a bank that answers questions and provides timely help over social media. Or, if the idea of sending a tweet to a bank makes you cringe, plenty of financial institutions offer more and different options. I prefer a live online chat, in-app messaging or a quick phone call after work, so I make sure my bank has all three options, plus extended customer service hours.
If you feel more comfortable speaking in a non-English language, shop around to find one where representatives speak it, says Elena Fairley, programs director at Mission Asset Fund, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that helps financially excluded communities access mainstream financial services. If you prefer to speak in Spanish, for example, consider a Hispanic American-owned bank or credit union.
You’ll need a loan
If your financial institution doesn’t offer the loans you’ll need at competitive rates, that’s a good sign that you should consider opening an account with a bank or credit union that does.
Don’t think you’ll need a loan for a while? Take this step now anyway because it can be helpful to have an account in good standing with a financial institution for a while if you’ll eventually need to borrow money.
“You generally get a better rate when you have a banking relationship at the institution,” Ortega says.
Opening a new bank account can take just a few minutes and the payoff could be priceless: saved time, better earnings for your money, more accessible help — and some peace of mind when it comes to your finances.

Over 300 casual staff were underpaid by the Australian Sports Commission in 2020, staff entitlement review finds
By Isaac NowrooziA review into the payments of casual staff in September 2020 by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) found 377 people were underpaid.
Key points:
- The ASC launched the review into the matter in September 2020
- The majority of affected staff have now received the outstanding back pay
- Staff are employed under an award that must match pay rates set by the Australian Government Industry Award
Of those, 315 current and former staff have received outstanding funds and 11 will receive payments next week.
"The ASC continues to try and contact the remaining 51 individuals," a spokesperson said.
The ASC did not reveal how much it owed staff.
"We are not in a position to disclose the financial terms at present," the ASC said.
"The ASC began processing payments to casual staff that were paid the incorrect ASC1 level minimum hourly rate in July."
However, the ABC is aware of two casual staff members at the Australian Institute of Sport's (AIS) Aquatic and Fitness Centre, which is operated by the ASC, who received $1,300 and $800 for back pay last year.
Both sought advice from the Fair Work Ombudsman.
Review into causal staff payments began in September 2020
The ASC launched a review into payments to casual staff in September 2020.
It told those affected that they would be reimbursed for any outstanding back pay once the review was complete.
It also said work was being done to ensure salary rates and allowances were correct moving forward.
"Issues relating to the underpayments were resolved in February 2022," the spokesperson said.
Staff at the AIS are employed under the ASC's enterprise agreement.
The agreement must match pay rates set by the Australian Government Industry Award and some staff are also eligible for allowances under the Fitness Industry Award.

In recent years, the focus of India's military strategy has broadened, with a growing emphasis on building up its sea power.
Key points:
- An expert says a strong Indian navy would help to "deter China from military adventurism in the Indo-Pacific"
- Much of India's military development has been with assistance from Russia but it is now also looking to the West
- India is planning to build a new fleet of 12 submarines and a third aircraft carrier
India now spends up to $110 billion annually on its military, and the navy, which had been somewhat overlooked, has become an increasingly significant part of its armed forces.
Last week, it bolstered its naval power with its first locally made aircraft carrier — the $3.7 billion INS Vikrant — taking to the seas.
"The security concerns of the Indo-Pacific and the Indian Ocean region were ignored in the past but it is our top priority today," Prime Minister Narendra Modi Modi said at the vessel's commissioning ceremony.
However, experts say this goal is being hampered by its lack of a significant domestic arms manufacturing industry.
What's the state of play in the region?
India's moves to build up its naval power come — not coincidentally — as China is rapidly building up its own.
Historically, the land borders with Pakistan and China have been India's main concern and while they would continue to be significant, things had shifted, Ashok Sharma from the ANU's Strategic and Defence Studies Centre told the ABC.
"In the past, it was all India–Pakistan border, India–China border, so the navy was ignored," he said.
"It is the rise of the Indo-Pacific in strategic significance that has pushed India to invest more and more [in its navy]."
Ian Hall from the Griffith Asia Institute said India remained the dominant sea power in the Indian Ocean, able to project its power into the South China Sea and even the Western Pacific.
But China in the past decade has gone from zero to three aircraft carriers in service, with plans to have a fleet of six in the near future.
In total, it has more than 300 ships and is building another 50 or more.
"China's navy is growing very fast," Dr Hall told the ABC.
"It is unlikely that India will acquire that many ships anytime soon, so China will soon have a numerical advantage, at least."
While the INS Vikrant is one of the world's biggest naval vessels, crewed by 1,600 sailors, it is dwarfed by China's newest carrier.
Launched in June, the Fujian is named for the province opposite Taiwan.
"The Fujian is almost twice the size of the INS Vikrant," Dr Hall said.
According to Dr Hall, the challenge for other countries, including Australia, is to work out how best to combine their fleets to ensure that China is deterred from using all of that power.
"Tensions are already high [in the region]," Dr Hall said.
"If anything, a robust Indian military, including a capable navy, will help to deter China from military adventurism in the Indo-Pacific."
Maritime military conflict 'unlikely'
Edward Chan from the ANU's College of Asia and the Pacific said China's only naval base with direct access to the Indian Ocean was in Djibouti.
However, Beijing had also been building a network of military and commercial facilities, he said.
"Chinese companies have been investing and purchasing ports in littoral countries along the Indian Ocean, claiming they're for civilian uses instead of for military purpose, which is something that strategists are looking at closely," he said.
Given the Chinese navy's main function in the region was to protect the country's economic interests, he said, there would be some strategic tension between Beijing and New Delhi, especially as China's presence increased.
"But it is unlikely to turn into a military conflict," Dr Chan told the ABC.
He added China's navy was powerful due to its numbers, but was limited by a lack of operational experiences and joint operational warfare.
"It is getting there with training and structural reforms," Dr Chan said.
"The Chinese carriers are still incapable of fully navigating to the Indian Ocean due to the lack of operational experiences and complexity in the South China Sea."
India wants another carrier and nuclear attack subs
Dr Hall said the INS Vikrant would help India defend its interests throughout the Indian Ocean and beyond, and could also deliver humanitarian aid and disaster relief.
"The one challenge India does face at this point, however, is getting hold of the planes and helicopters it needs for this new ship," he told the ABC.
India has long been the world's biggest importer of arms and, like its other carrier, the ex-Soviet INS Vikramaditya, much of India's military development has been with assistance from Russia.
"India is expanding and modernising its fleet, but the navy does not get the biggest slice of the defence budget, so progress is slower than it could be," Dr Hall said.
"A third aircraft carrier is planned and there are plans for a new batch of six conventional and six nuclear-powered attack submarines, along with new nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines."
New destroyers, frigates, and helicopter dock ships are also under construction, with much of the work happening locally.
"India has had assistance from Russia in the past, and is looking to the US and France, in particular, for help with new projects, including the carrier and submarines," Dr Hall said.
Construction of the 262-metre INS Vikrant began in 2009 and was supposed to be completed in 2016 but the project suffered from cost blowouts and delays.
Despite the INS Vikrant taking longer than forecast and costing more than first estimated to be built, Dr Hall said he believed India would accelerate its ship-building program.
"China's navy is now present in the Indian Ocean, and relations between the two have deteriorated significantly in recent years," he said.
"The Ukraine war has made it harder to acquire Russian-made aircraft and it may be that New Delhi will have to buy French or even American planes for the INS Vikrant."
Is reliance on Russia harming India?
India's reliance on Russia for arms supply and support could be hampering its ability act freely on the geopolitical stage.
All of India's Quad allies — Australia, the United States and Japan — have hit Russia with sanctions and provided military and financial assistance to Ukraine in the wake of the invasion.
But India has so far refused join them.
Mr Modi has called for peace in Ukraine, but India has abstained from several key United Nations votes condemning Vladimir Putin's aggression.
Some estimates suggest that more than 60 per cent of India's weapons rely on Russian technology.
"This is a huge challenge," Dr Hall said.
"Transitioning away from that dependence will take decades."
India would likely need to maintain a working relationship with Moscow — even if only for ammunition, maintenance, and spares — "for some time to come", Dr Hall said.
"That will condition its stance on the Ukraine war," he said.

By KARL RITTER and JOANNA KOZLOWSKA
Associated Press
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s Defense Ministry announced Saturday that it was pulling back troops from two areas in Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region where a Ukrainian counteroffensive has made significant advances in the past week.
The news came after days of apparent advances by Ukraine south of Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, in what could become the biggest battlefield success for Ukrainian forces since they thwarted a Russian attempt to seize the capital, Kyiv, at the start of the nearly seven-month war.
“The Russian army in these days is demonstrating the best that it can do — showing its back,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video released by his office Saturday night. “And, of course, it’s a good decision for them to run.”
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said troops would be regrouped from the Balakliya and Izyum areas to the eastern Donetsk region. Izyum was a major base for Russian forces in the Kharkiv region, and earlier this week social media videos showed residents of Balakliya joyfully cheering as Ukrainian troops moved in.
Konashenkov said the Russian move was being made “in order to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbas,’” an eastern area home to two separatist regions that Russia has declared sovereign.
The claim of a withdrawal to concentrate on Donetsk is similar to the justification Russia gave for pulling back its forces from the Kyiv region earlier this year when they failed to take the capital.
Igor Girkin, a Russian who was an early leader of a Moscow-backed separatist uprising in Donetsk in 2014, sneered at the portrayal of the pullback being strategic. On the messaging app Telegram, he acidly called it “the brilliant (clearly within the framework of the plan and even ahead of schedule) operation to transfer the cities of Izyum, Balakliya and Kupiansk to respected Ukrainian partners.”
Earlier Saturday, Ukrainian officials claimed major gains in the Kharkiv region, saying their troops had cut off vital supplies to Izyum.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko also suggested troops had retaken Kupiansk, a town along the main supply route to Izyum, long a focus on the Russian front line and the site of heavy artillery and other fighting. Nikolenko tweeted a photo showing soldiers in front of what he said was a government building in Kupiansk, 73 kilometers (45 miles) north of Izyum.
The Ukrainian Security Service posted a message hours later saying troops were in Kupiansk, further suggesting it had been seized. The military did not immediately confirm entering the town, a railway hub that Russia seized in February.
Videos on social media appeared to show Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of Izyum at a roadside checkpoint. A large statue with the city’s name could be seen in the images. Ukrainian forces did not acknowledge holding the city.
Britain’s Defense Ministry said Saturday that it believed Ukrainian troops had advanced as much as 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Kharkiv, and described Russian forces around Izyum as “increasingly isolated.”
“Russian forces were likely taken by surprise. The sector was only lightly held and Ukrainian units have captured or surrounded several towns,” the British military said, adding that the loss of Kupiansk would greatly affect Russian supply lines.
The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, likewise referenced sweeping Ukrainian gains, estimating that Kyiv has seized around 2,500 square kilometers (965 square miles) in its eastern breakthrough. The institute said it appeared that “disorganized Russian forces (were) caught in the rapid Ukrainian advance,” and cited social media images of apparent Russian prisoners seized around Izyum and surrounding towns.
The same report said Ukrainian forces “may collapse Russian positions around Izyum if they sever Russian ground lines of communication” north and south of the town.
Vladislav Sokolov, head of the Russian-appointed local administration, said on social media that authorities in Izyum had started evacuating residents to Russia.
The fighting in eastern Ukraine comes amid an ongoing offensive around Kherson in the south. Analysts suggest Russia may have taken soldiers from the east to reinforce the latter area, offering the Ukrainians the opportunity to strike a weakened front line.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told the television channel Ukraina that the Russians had no food or fuel for their troops in the area as Kyiv had cut off their supply lines.
“It will be like an avalanche,” he said, predicting a Russian fallback. “One line of defense will shake, and it will fall.”
The Ukrainian military was more circumspect, claiming to have taken “more than 1,000 square kilometers” (386 square miles) from pro-Kremlin forces this week. It said that “in some areas, units of the Defense Forces have penetrated the enemy’s defenses to a depth of 50 kilometers,” matching the British assessment, but did not disclose geographical details.
Officials in Kyiv have for weeks been tight-lipped about plans for a counteroffensive, urging residents to refrain from sharing information on social media.
However, Zelenskyy said Friday that troops had reclaimed more than 30 settlements in the Kharkiv region since the start of the counteroffensive.
Elsewhere, Ukrainian emergency services reported that a 62-year-old woman was killed in a Russian missile strike in the Kharkiv region when her home was flattened overnight.
The Ukrainian governor of Kharkiv, Oleh Syniehubov, accused Moscow of pummeling retaken settlements. He said via Telegram that five civilians were hospitalized in the Izyum district, while nine others suffered injuries elsewhere in the region.
In the embattled Donbas, the Ukrainian governor said civilians were killed and wounded overnight by Russian shelling near the city of Bakhmut, a key target of the stalled Russian offensive. Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Telegram that two people died and two were injured in Bakhmut and the neighboring village of Yahidne.
In the Russina-held city of Enerhodar, home to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, electricity and water were restored after a four-day outage due to an explosion, the city’s Ukrainian mayor, Dmytro Orlov, said.
Enerhodar and its Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant have come under repeated shelling in recent weeks, which Russia and Ukraine each other the other of committing. The shelling has raised fears of a radiation leak at the plant, which has been cut off from outside power sources; the facility has been forced to rely on power from its only working reactor for systems cooling and other safety measures.
Orlov said workers from the plant assisted in restoring Enerhodar’s power, but it was not clear if the electricity was coming from the plant or from a nearby thermal generating station.
Also Saturday, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock paid an unannounced visit to Kyiv and said Europe would not tire of helping Ukraine, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to raise the pressure by withholding energy supplies.
Baerbock said Germany will assist Ukraine in finding and removing mines and other unexploded ordnance left by Russian troops in areas where they have been pushed back.
Despite Ukraine’s gains, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the head of NATO warned Friday that the war would likely drag on for months. Blinken said the conflict was entering a critical period and urged Ukraine’s Western backers to keep up their support through what could be a difficult winter.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ally Ewing shot into the lead with a fast start and stayed there on a soggy course Saturday for a 5-under 67 to build a one-shot lead over Maria Fassi in the Kroger Queen City Championship.
Ewing's first order of business this deep in the LPGA Tour season is to make sure she is among the 60 who reach the final event, which she has done every year since 2017. A victory would take care of that.
Ewing has not finished in the top 10 all year, but she was practically flawless at Kenwood Country Club. She has six birdies and was bogey-free until the final hole, playing even longer than its 446 yards because of the soggy conditions that allowed for preferred lies.
She missed the green with a metal to the right, had very little green to work with and pitched about 18 feet by the hole.
Ewing was at 16-under 200.
Right behind was Fassi, the dynamic Mexican with the powerful swing who matched Ewing with a 67 and will play in the final group with her Sunday with a chance to win her first LPGA title.
Fassi closed in on the lead at the par-5 15th after she had short-sided herself by missing the green to the right with a pin tucked to the right behind a bunker. She hit a flop shot that landed a few feet short of the hole and rolled for eagle.
Fassi showed off her length on the 18th hole, needing only a 5-iron to reach the green for a two-putt par on a closing hole that hurt other chances.
Sarah Kemp (70) and Megan Khang (69) both hit a metal and missed the green, each making bogey to fall four shots behind. Khang and Kemp are trying to win on the LPGA Tour for the first time.
Khang finished one shot behind Gary Lopez a week ago at the Dana Open as the final group struggled.
“We saw last week Gaby and I kind of fought it out in our group, and I think we were like third or fourth to last group. So it’s golf. Anything can happen,” Khang said. “Just got to stay within yourself and give yourself the chance.”
Ewing, with two LPGA victories in her career, started the third round one shot behind and quickly erased that with a pair of birdies, along with another on the par-5 fourth hole. Ewing birdied all four of the par 5s.
Xiyu Lin had a 70 and was three shots behind.
Ariya Jutanugarn had a 69 and was in the group at 12-under 202 along with Kemp, Khang and Jeongeun Lee6, who had the 36-hole lead and struggled to a 73.
More soggy conditions are expected for the final round in Cincinnati, which has not had the LPGA Tour in town since 1989. Tee times have been moved up in the final round.
The 29-year-old Ewing has won in each of the last two years on the LPGA, at the Bank of Hope
LPGA Drive On Championship −16 (66-68-69-69=272) 1 stroke United States Danielle Kang LPGA Match Play last year and the LPGA Drive On Championship in 2020.
It's also a big final round for Fassi, the Arkansas grad who is No. 97 in the Race to CME Globe and has never won on tour.

Kiplimo takes winning streak to Newcastle
What you need to know:
Overall, he has won four of his five half-marathon career races and he is encouraged by the recent world 10000m bronze medal at the Oregon World Championships in USA and the Commonwealth double in Birmingham, England back in March.
Jacob Kiplimo prefers road to track running. It is something he’s not been shy to speak about.
Yet, even his results amplify his choice. He has plenty of silverware, a 2017 junior gold and 2019 senior silver from the World across-country Championships and then, the World Half-Marathon title won two years ago in Gdynia, Poland.
Over that 21km, Kiplimo is a beast and there is high optimism that he will dominate the full marathon, or even run that distance under two hours.
Kiplimo however still has to work his way up. And he will hope to script another victory when he lines up in the elite men’s field at the Great North Run in Newcastle, England today.
“I’m very excited to be part of the elite field in Newcastle for the first time ever,” he said in an interview earlier this year after announcing his entry.
“The big names of distance running like Paul Tergat, Haile Gebreselassie, Mo Farah and Kenenisa Bekele run at least one time this half marathon, I want to be like them too.”
And yes, Kiplimo has already shared a slice of history with them. He currently holds the world 21km record at 57 minutes and 31 seconds while winning the Lisbon Half-Marathon in Portugal last November.
Overall, he has won four of his five half-marathon career races and he is encouraged by the recent world 10000m bronze medal at the Oregon World Championships in USA and the Commonwealth double in Birmingham, England back in March.
“My body is not bad,” he said before flying out on Thursday. “My target is only to finish it ,” the 21-year-old added.
He now faces a field which has two-time Berlin Marathon champion Bekele, who is a former 5000m and 10000m world record holder.
There is also Olympic 10000m champion Ethiopian Selemon Barega, who is entered, but competed and finished seventh over the 5000m at the Zurich Diamond League in Switzerland.
Kiplimo was to face his counterpart Joshua Cheptegei but he has since pulled out due to a hamstring problem.

Nabbumba motivated to work hard after Real Star recognition
What you need to know:
Averaging double digits and eliminating Nabisunsa in the quarters, Ekone was the obvious choice ahead of Ninette Uwineza (KIU Rangers) and Isaiah Mabeny Ater (KIU Titans), the other nominees.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with a galaxy of stars is what She Corporates and She Cranes midfielder Phiona Nabbumba dreams of.
Since she was a child playing with boys in Entebbe at Fimbo academy, Nabbumba realised she could reach her dreams playing football.
The 22-year-old honed her career through countless hours of training before earning what she calls a lucrative deal with Makerere University Business School (MUBS) franchise She Corporates.
"This is the first time I am winning this wonderful award," Nabbumba, dressed in skinny jeans and a matching jumper, said at Route 256 Restaurant in Lugogo while accepting the ForteBet-sponsored monthly Real Stars award as the best footballer during the month of August.
It did not come on a silver platter though as she had to convince selectors that her performance during the zonal Caf Champions League qualifiers in Tanzania were more superior than Travis Mutyaba's wonder strike at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam that gave Uganda a head start in the first round of the Chan qualifiers.
"It's wonderful that I am winning on the first time of being nominated. With all due respect I and my teammates did our best," said the midfielder, who scored six goals and made five assists as She Corporates lost the final place to Tanzania's Simba in a thrilling finale.
"It motivates me to work even harder. I now think of playing in bigger leagues because I have fulfilled my dreams of playing at every stage in Uganda," she said.
The versatile player even played in defence during Uganda's attempt at the women's Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco.
Kukundakwe eyes podium
There were plaudits for sensational para swimmer at the awards Husina Kukundakwe.
Dressed to kill in a dark business suit, Kukundakwe was brief in her acceptance speech.
"Now I want podium places," she said after the usual pleasantries.
Kukundakwe, 15, won six medals at the Islamic Solidarity Games in Konya, Turkey, that included two gold, three silver and a bronze.
It was a dream for the teenager, who is only Uganda's second swimmer at the Paralympics after taking part in the 2020 Tokyo Games last year.
Her focus now is on winning a medal at the Paralympics or the World Swimming Championships.
"I now want to use this platform to inspire other children with disabilities to join sports, especially swimming," Kukundakwe said on the sidelines of the awards following a tough childhood before she became a swimming sensation.
Grateful Ekone
JKL Dolphins point-guard Brenda Ekone, who has lost in five previous nominations finally came top in a season where she has been a headline performer for her team which finished top in the regular season.
Averaging double digits and eliminating Nabisunsa in the quarters, Ekone was the obvious choice ahead of Ninette Uwineza (KIU Rangers) and Isaiah Mabeny Ater (KIU Titans), the other nominees.
"We are even determined to win this year's trophy," Ekone said.
Other awards were offered to double Commonwealth medallist Jacob Kiplimo and racing daredevil Duncan Mubiru in absentia.
The monthly awards are sponsored by ForteBet and Jude Colour Solutions but representatives from Cairo Bank attended the ceremony to assess their potential.

Not Mar-a-Lago: Congress' secrets in sealed rooms, lock bags
Security-sealed rooms. Lock bags. And in the most rare of circumstances, the ability to handcuff a document pouch to a messenger to transport the nation’s secrets.
These are some of the ways Capitol Hill keeps classified documents secured, an elaborate system of government protocols and high-level security clearances that 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 possession of White House materials deepens, lawmakers of both parties have more questions than answers. Intelligence officials have offered to brief congressional leaders, possibly as soon as next week, senators said, as they launch a lengthy risk assessment. Congress had asked for the briefing soon after the revelation of the unprecedented Aug. 8 search, but it may be delayed by the legal fight between Trump and the government.
“We need to be able to do appropriate oversight for the Intelligence Committee so that we have a better handle on how this particular incident was handled, but so that we avoid problems like this in the future," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.
A culture of secrecy may not necessarily be expected from Capitol Hill, where 535 elected members of Congress, alongside thousands of aides and countless more visitors broker information on a daily basis as a routine part of governing.
Secrets large and small — from the most mundane details about when an upcoming vote will be scheduled to the parlor intrigue of transitional alliances — are among the more valued bits of currency that pass through the place.
But when it comes to classified materials, the stream of information tends to clamp shut.
Lawmakers who serve on the House and Senate Intelligence committees are traditionally among the most publicly tight-lipped about their work, and staff for those panels must obtain security clearances to handle the documents and perform their jobs. Others serving on committees dealing with military affairs and certain national security funds face similar restrictions.
When members of Congress want to peruse classified materials, they descend deep into the basement of the Capitol to a sensitive compartmented information facility, known as a SCIF. Other SCIFs are scattered throughout the Capitol complex.
If documents need to be ferried in or out of secure locations, they are typically transported in a lock bag, a briefcase-sized pouch under lock and key.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Penn., a member of the Intelligence Committee, said staff will often use a lock bag even simply to transport materials from committee offices to a SCIF some 30 feet away.
“The idea that anyone would leave any building or any room with those documents not secure — it’s just, the word is, unfathomable,” Casey said in an interview.
In rare instances, a document pouch can be handcuffed to a person's wrist for travel, though several senators and staff said they have never seen that happen.
“I've only seen that in movies,” said Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, the top-ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee.
Trump’s alleged mishandling of the documents has stunned lawmakers of both parties, even those Republicans critical of the Justice Department’s unusual search of a former president. Court filings from the federal government say hundreds of classified records have been retrieved from Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., all but warned of Trump's handling of sensitive documents early in the then-president’s term. A photo from a White House press briefing in 2017 showed Trump and others in the Oval Office with a lock bag visible on the desk, the key still inside.
“Never leave a key in a classified lock bag in the presence of non-cleared people. #Classified101,” tweeted Heinrich, a member of the Intelligence Committee, days after the February 2017 incident. He asked for a review.
In an interview this past week, Heinrich said, “It is outrageous to think — the cavalier nature with which the former president treats information, that can have life or death consequences for our sources, is unfathomable."
Trump amassed more than a dozen boxes of papers and other mementos from the White House, many held in a storage room at Mar-a-Lago. The FBI's search came after a protracted battle over missing documents launched soon after Trump left the White House in 2021.
Trump attorneys had insisted early in the summer after the first delivery of returned documents that there was nothing left at the former president's club. Upon inspection, the FBI asked the storage room to be put under lock and key. Ultimately a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago was obtained and more than 100 other documents with classified markings were found. Now, the Justice Department is investigating the Trump team's handling of the documents and possible obstruction.
Cornyn expressed skepticism the stashed documents held critical information.
“It’s hard for me to believe it was particularly sensitive — it’s been sitting at Mar-a-Lago for a year and a half before they do anything about it,” he said.
Still, when it comes to handling classified documents, Cornyn noted: “There are ways to secure it, but it’s not — under no circumstance, should it be in your home.”
Retribution for breaking secrets on Capitol Hill can be swift and severe. In the 1980s, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., announced he would leave the Intelligence Committee after acknowledging that he had allowed a reporter to review a not classified but still “committee confidential” draft report on the Contra wars in Latin America. More recently, a former senior staff member of the Senate panel was charged with lying to investigators about his interactions with journalists.
Immediately after the Mar-a-Lago search, Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic chairman of the intelligence committee, and Rubio jointly asked the director of national intelligence for an assessment of the damage to national security that would result from disclosure of the documents.
“My issue is not whether the documents belong there or not, because ultimately they shouldn’t have been stored there and they could have been removed," Rubio said in an interview. “The question is: Was there good faith efforts made by the federal government to retrieve those documents without resorting to a raid of a former president’s home?”
The intelligence office was expected to provide a bipartisan briefing for the so-called gang of eight — the top four leaders of the House and the Senate, along with the House and Senate intelligence committee leaders.
But it is uncertain now, due to Trump's litigation, whether the Office of the Director of National Intelligence will be able to continue the assessment or provide the briefing to lawmakers.
Warner said he was asking for at least an interim risk assessment.
Senators expect the gang of eight briefing could happen next week, when the House and Senate are both back in session — but only in a secure location.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Steven Gilmore returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter and Khalan Labron ran for 163 yards as Marshall shocked No. 8 Notre Dame 26-21 Saturday, making Marcus Freeman the first Fighting Irish coach to lose his first three games.
Gilmore, the brother of Stephon Gilmore of the Indianapolis Colts, picked off a pass by Tyler Buchner with 4:35 left, raced to the end zone and then jumped into the stands where Marshall fans were already celebrating the victory.
Marshall (2-0), the first Sun Belt Conference team to play at Notre Dame Stadium, beat a team ranked in the top 10 for just the second time in school history. The Thundering Herd beat No. 6 Kansas State 27-20 in 2003.
Freeman, the 36-yeard-old first-time head coach who was promoted after Brian Kelly left for LSU, had lost a bowl game to Oklahoma State and at Ohio State last week. This one will go down much differently to hopeful Notre Dame fans.
The Irish had a streak of 42 straight wins against unranked opponents snapped.
The Herd took a 19-15 lead with 5:16 remaining when Henry Colombi completed a 3-yard touchdown pass to Devin Miller. The score was set up by a 42-yard run by Laborn, who broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and juked Irish safety Brandon Joseph before breaking free.
Any hope for a comeback by the Irish (0-2) ended when Owen Porter intercepted a pass by backup Irish quarterback Drew Pyne with three minutes remaining. Pyne threw a TD pass with 14 second left to cut the lead to five points.
Colombi was 16-of-21 passing for 145 yards and the Thundering Herd rushed for 221 yards on 49 carries.
The Irish, who struggled offensively a week earlier in a 21-10 loss to Ohio State with a play-it-safe, ball-control game plan, opened the playbook against the Herd but still struggled to get much going.
Buchner was 18-of-32 passing for 201 yards with two interceptions. Buchner also led the Irish in rushing with 44 yards on 13 carries, Michael Mayer had eight catches for 103 yards.
The Irish grabbed a 15-12 lead early in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard run up by Buchner. He then kept it and ran wide right for the 2-point conversion. But the Irish couldn’t mount much of an offense after that.
Daily Top Stories
Two plays with a little over eight minutes left in the third quarter epitomized Notre Dame’s struggles. On third-and-2 from the Notre Dame 47, the Irish couldn’t get the first down on two carries by Audric Estime, coming up 6 inches short as the line couldn’t get much push.
That led to a drive by the Thundering Herd, highlighted by a backward pass by Colombi to Talik Keaton along the left sideline for a 30-yard gain but the drive stalled after Cam Fancher took over at quarterback for Colombi. Marshall drove to the 4-yard line before settling for a 20-yard field goal to go ahead 12-7.
The takeaway
Marshall: Second-year coach Charles Huff, a former Alabama and Penn State assistant, assembled a roster heavy on Power Five transfers such as Labron from Florida State for the school’s first season in the Sun Belt. It paid off with one of the biggest victories in school history.
Notre Dame: The Irish offense showed it still has a lot of work to do, and the honeymoon period for Freeman is probably over.
Poll implications
The respect the Irish gained by playing Ohio State won’t be enough to overcome this poor showing.
Next up
Marshall: The Thundering Herd play at Bowling Green on Saturday, their first meeting since 2010.
Notre Dame: The Irish will wear green jerseys when they host Cal on Saturday. It will be the first time the Irish have worn green since 2018. The Irish were 4-0 wearing green during the Brian Kelly era — and will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak in them this time.

Everybody who follows Navy football was interested to see how the program would respond to the embarrassing loss to Delaware in the season opener.
There was plenty of concern among fans after the Midshipmen lost to a Football Championship Subdivision school on their home field.
While the beleaguered offense showed signs of improvement, the overall effort was no more a winning one than Week 1.
Quarterback Seth Hennigan completed 24 of 34 passes for 415 yards and two touchdowns to lead Memphis to a 37-13 victory over Navy on Saturday in Annapolis. A 79-yard bomb to wide receiver Joseph Scates early in the third quarter was the backbreaker as the home team’s offense once again was unable to generate anywhere near enough points.
Quarterback Tai Lavatai directed four drives into Memphis territory, but only two produced points. The Mids had two other scoring opportunities thwarted by a turnover on downs and an interception.
Slotback Maquel Haywood was the most productive weapon as Navy managed only 215 rushing yards, well below the standard set for most of the triple-option era. Haywood showed superb speed on the perimeter in gaining 54 yards on eight carries.
For the second straight game, the triple-option attack primarily featured fullback dives and quarterback keeps. Lavatai was limited to 37 yards on 18 carries, while Anton Hall Jr. led a fullback contingent that totaled 88 yards.
Navy’s biggest play of the game was a 66-yard touchdown pass from Lavatai to Hall. The Midshipmen amassed 314 total yards, a figure that is not normally going to get it done in the high-scoring American Athletic Conference.
Defensive coordinator Brian Newberry said during the week that the Mids needed to limit the big plays. Memphis had way too many last season in beating Navy 35-17.
However, big plays were once again the demise of the Navy defense, which steadily wore down and wound up allowing 506 total yards. In addition to the 79-yard catch-and-run, Hennigan completed passes of 50, 41, 37 and 26 yards. After defending the run well for most of the game, the Mids gave up a 45-yard run by tailback Asa Martin that set up the final touchdown by the Tigers.
Memphis scored on its opening possession thanks to wide receiver Eddie Lewis, who beat single coverage to get wide-open along the right sideline and hauled in a 50-yard pass from Hennigan.
Lewis appeared to score but replay review determined he went out of bounds at the 4-yard line. No matter, as the Tigers scored on the next play via a nifty shovel pass from Hennigan to tight end Caden Prieskorn.
Other than that one big play, Navy’s defense played very well in the first half, forcing two punts and a turnover on downs. The Mids stiffened in their own territory and forced the Tigers to settle for Chris Howard field goals of 37 and 38 yards.
The Midshipmen answered the first field goal in impressive fashion as Hall got behind the defense off play-action pass. Lavatai delivered a perfect ball, which Hall briefly bobbled before hauling it in and outracing a chasing safety to the end zone to make it 10-7 with 44 seconds left in the first quarter.
Navy’s offense moved the ball much more effectively than it did in the opener, but had trouble finishing as two drives into Memphis territory came up empty.
Coach Ken Niumatalolo made a curious call by having Lavatai run a keeper on third-and-eight. He slipped for the second time in three plays and it was a turnover on downs.
Later, the Mids marched 33 yards to the enemy 29-yard line then committed a turnover. Niumatalolo dipped into his bag of tricks and pulled out a slotback option pass, which ended poorly because Haywood threw into double coverage and the pass was picked off by safety Quindell Johnson.
Navy managed only first down before having to punt on the opening possession of the second half. One play later the home team found itself down 20-7 courtesy of a 79-yard touchdown pass from Hennigan to Scates.
Scates beat two defensive backs badly and Hennigan hit him stride for the longest completion of his career.
Navy’s offense needed to respond with points, but instead Hall fumbled on first down. Linebacker Xavier Collins forced and recovered the fumble at the home team’s 39-yard line.
That turnover ultimately led to a 22-yard field goal by Howard that put Memphis ahead 23-7.
Daily Top Stories
Lavatai directed a strong 21-play, 74-yard touchdown drive that cut the deficit to 23-13. The quarterback dove over the goal line to cap the march, which took almost 11 1/2 minutes off the clock. That was not a good thing considering the Mids still faced a double digit deficit.
It became moot after Memphis answered with a 13-play, 88-yard touchdown drive of its own to increase the lead to 30-13.

No. 13 Utah routs overmatched Southern Utah 73-7
By MATTHEW COLES
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Cameron Rising threw for 254 yards in the first half, Dalton Kincaid had 107 yards receiving and two touchdowns and No. 13 Utah routed Southern Utah 73-7 on Saturday. Coming off an opening loss last week at Florida, Utah scored on nine consecutive drives, including eight touchdowns, over the final three quarters against the FCS Thunderbirds (1-1). The Utes had 599 yards of total offense. Southern Utah started the game with an unsuccessful onside kick that led to a 13-yard touchdown run by Tavion Thomas. Southern Utah got a break when Thomas fumbled later in the first quarter and Rodrick Ward recovered. On the next play, Grady Robison tied it at 7 on a quarterback draw that went for 28 yards.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — A global search for alternative sources to Russian energy during the war in Ukraine has refocused attention on smaller, easier-to-build nuclear power stations, which proponents say could provide a cheaper, more efficient alternative to older model mega-plants.
U.K.-based Rolls-Royce SMR says its small modular reactors, or SMRs, are much cheaper and quicker to get running than standard plants, delivering the kind of energy security that many nations are seeking. France already relies on nuclear power for a majority of its electricity, and Germany kept the option of reactivating two nuclear plants it will shut down at the end of the year as Russia cuts natural gas supplies.
While Rolls-Royce SMR and its competitors have signed deals with countries from Britain to Poland to start building the stations, they are many years away from operating and cannot solve the energy crisis now hitting Europe. Nuclear power also poses risks, including disposing of highly radioactive waste and keeping that technology out of the hands of rogue countries or nefarious groups that may pursue a nuclear weapons program.
Those risks have been accentuated following the shelling around Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, which has raised fears of potential nuclear disaster.
In the wake of the war, however, “the reliance on gas imports and Russian energy sources has focused people’s minds on energy security,” Rolls-Royce SMR spokesman Dan Gould said.
An SMR’s components can be built in a factory, moved to a site in tractor trailers and assembled there, making the technology more attractive to frugal buyers, he said.
“It’s like building Lego,” Gould said. “Building on a smaller scale reduces risks and makes it a more investible project.”
Some SMRs are essentially pressurized water reactors identical to some 400 reactors worldwide, while other designs use sodium, lead, gas or salt as a coolant instead of water. The key advantages are their size — about one-tenth as big as a standard reactor — the ease of construction and the price tag.
The estimated cost of a Rolls-Royce SMR is 2.2 billion to 2.8 billion pounds ($2.5 billion to $3.2 billion), with an estimated construction time of 5 1/2 years. That’s two years faster than it took to build a standard nuclear plant between 2016 and 2021, according to International Atomic Energy Agency statistics. Some estimates put the cost of building a 1,100-megawatt nuclear plant at between $6 billion and $9 billion.
Rolls-Royce aims to build its first stations in the U.K. within 5 1/2 years, Gould said.
Similarly, Oregon-based NuScale Power signed agreements last year with two Polish companies — copper and silver producer KGHM and energy producer UNIMOT — to explore the possibility of building SMRs to power heavy industry. Poland wants to switch from polluting, coal-powered electricity generation.
Rolls-Royce SMR said last month that it signed a deal with Dutch development company ULC-Energy to look into setting up SMRs in the Netherlands.
Another partner is Turkey, where Russia is building the Akkuyu nuclear power plant on the southern coast. Environmentalists say the region is seismically active and could be a target for terrorists.
The introduction of “unproven” nuclear power technology in the form of SMRs doesn’t sit well with environmentalists, who argue that proliferation of small reactors will exacerbate the problem of how to dispose of highly radioactive nuclear waste.
“Unfortunately, Turkey is governed by an incompetent administration that has turned it into a ‘test bed’ for corporations,” said Koray Dogan Urbarli, a spokesman for Turkey’s Green Party.
“It is giving up the sovereignty of a certain region for at least 100 years for Russia to build a nuclear power plant. This incompetence and lobbying power make Turkey an easy target for SMRs,” said Koray, adding that his party eschews technology with an “uncertain future.”
Gould said one Rolls-Royce SMR would generate nuclear waste the size of a “tennis court piled 1-meter high” throughout the plant’s 60-year lifetime. He said initially, waste would be stored on site at the U.K. plants and would eventually be transferred to a long-term disposal site selected by the British government.
M.V. Ramana, professor of public policy and global affairs at the University of British Columbia, cites research suggesting there’s “no demonstrated way” to ensure nuclear waste stored in what authorities consider to be secure sites won’t escape in the future.
The constant heat generated by the waste could alter rock formations where it’s stored and allow water seepage, while future mining activities could compromise a nuclear waste site’s integrity, said Ramana, who specializes in international security and nuclear energy.
Skeptics also raise the risks of possibly exporting such technology in politically tumultuous regions. Gould said Rolls-Royce is “completely compliant” with U.K. and international requirements in exporting its SMR technology “only in territories that are signatories to the necessary international treaties for the peaceful use of nuclear power for energy generation.”
Ramana said, however, there’s no guarantee nations will follow the rules.
“Any country acquiring nuclear reactors automatically enhances its capacity to make nuclear weapons,” he said, adding that every SMR could produce “around 10 bombs worth of plutonium each year.”
Rolls-Royce SMR could opt to stop supplying fuel and other services to anyone flouting the rules, but “should any country choose to do so, it can simply tell the International Atomic Energy Agency to stop inspections, as Iran has done, for example,” Ramana said.
Although spent fuel normally undergoes chemical reprocessing to generate the kind of plutonium used in nuclear weapons, Ramana said such reprocessing technology is widely known and that a very sophisticated reprocessing plant isn’t required to produce the amount of plutonium needed for weapons.

ERIE, Colo. (KDVR) – An 82 year-old Colorado man wowed the crowd at a wedding reception with dance moves that defy his age — and now a video of his performance is going viral on Instagram.
“I’ve been dancing since about 50 years, you know,” Navnit Tailor, an architect from Erie, told Nexstar’s KDVR.
Last month, Tailor went to a wedding in Canada, where a DJ’s camera caught his exuberant, jubilant dance moves.
Tailor’s son, Samir Tailor, said his father is “always the first one to start the dancing.”
“The DJ there captured [his dance] and the next thing I know, a day or a couple days later, the DJ sent my sister a text saying, ‘Hey, your dad’s going viral.'”
Over the next 24 hours, the video had been seen by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. To date, the original Instagram video has been viewed over 1.2 million times.
“I was shocked,” Navnit Tailor said.
His family wasn’t. Dancing runs in the family’s blood, according to his son.
“My whole family is a set of dancers,” Samir Tailor said. “My sister and myself, we’ve always danced quite a bit, but you know, dad seems to capture the attention of people like no other.”
Samir believes that Instagram’s fascination with an 82 year-old man, being healthy and active enough to dance so excitedly, proves you’re never too old to act young.
“It really inspires people,” he said.

DALLAS (AP) — After Itza Pantoja’s severely disabled son died at age 16, she made it her mission to ensure that the wheelchairs, beds and other equipment and supplies that had helped him would get to others in need.
Pantoja’s lengthy struggle to find an organization that would take the large donation ended when she got word that a group in Chicago was interested. So she and her family packed up a U-Haul and drove the 1,240 miles (1,995 kilometers) from San Antonio to drop it off.
“It kind of soothes us because other families that are going through what we went through kind of have a helping hand,” Pantoja said.
The mother’s effort highlighted not only how hard it can be to get such equipment — even with insurance — but also the difficulty that can be encountered when trying to donate it. The journey also shows the community built around not only need, but a desire to help.
The head of the at-home care company that took the donation, ASI/NE Healthcare Services, said that just seeing the number of items that Dylan Yadriel Cruz-Pantoja needed made her emotional.
“It was deeply moving to see that this one child needed so much just to be able to live,” said Marta Cerda, ASI’s chief executive officer.
At 15 months old, Dylan was left with brain damage after emergency room staff didn’t realize that a shunt placed in his head at birth to remove fluid was malfunctioning.
Pantoja said they sought out therapies and equipment to make his life better, scrambling to raise money when insurance wouldn’t pay.
“I used to make cookies and cupcakes,” Pantoja said. “I used to babysit kids while my husband was working two to three jobs in a week.”
Many of the items, including a car seat, standing chair and bed, went to Felipe Aguilar, a 12-year-old Chicago boy with cerebral palsy.
Felipe’s mother, Karina Aguilar, said it has often been difficult to get the equipment her son needs. “There’s always some excuses for insurance not to pay, not to consider that equipment as a … medical necessity,” she said.
Among items from the Pantoja family that have been especially helpful are a car seat that’s big enough for Felipe, a chair that helps him stand up and a bed designed so he doesn’t fall off. Before the new bed, Aguilar said they were making “a barrier with pillows and things around the bed.”
The path that led the Pantojas to Chicago was a winding one. In the months after Dylan’s death in November 2019, the pandemic began changing daily life and Pantoja had trouble finding a local organization that would take the donation so big it filled a garage.
Her first idea was to try to get the items to Puerto Rico, where the family lived before moving to Texas when Dylan was 10.
She turned to Pedro Soler, the attorney in Puerto Rico who’d handled a medical malpractice case the family filed over Dylan’s condition. But Soler found that the cost would be too high, and there were no guarantees when it would arrive.
So Soler got in touch with a law firm he works with in Chicago, Clifford Law Offices, which reached out to a judge who got in touch with ASI. A Chicago-area group that helps children with physical disabilities helped bring everyone together, while another that redistributes medical equipment moved the donation from ASI’s storage unit and conference room to the Aguilar family.
Pantoja said it was like reliving her own life when she met the Aguilars at a news conference centering on the donation held a year ago last month. Erin Clifford, a partner at Clifford Law Offices, said that knowing how much the donation meant to each family, she “started tearing up a little bit” as she watched the mothers that day.
Over a decade ago, Dr. Will Rosenblatt, a professor at Yale School of Medicine, recognized a need to help connect people who had medical supplies and equipment to donate with not-for-profits.
“It’s a heartache to take this stuff to the landfill,” he said.
Rosenblatt founded Med-Eq, an online site that matches those looking to donate items with a group that needs them. He said that even though they work with 300 to 400 organizations, about two-thirds of the items offered up aren’t ever placed.
Finding a match, he said, has a lot to do with geography and funds. For instance, many groups will only take items they can pick up because shipping items can be difficult and costly.
Jason Chernock, director of programs and partnerships at MedShare, which distributes surplus medical supplies and equipment from the U.S. around the world, said his group gets daily inquiries from people looking to donate large medical equipment previously used at home. And while his organization generally doesn’t take such donations, they work to find groups in the donor’s community that will.
“That makes sense just because of the logistics involved,” Chernock said. “These are big, bulky items.”
ASI’s operations manager, Ana Alvarez, said helping facilitate donations isn’t something ASI usually does. But in this case, they made an exception.
“We couldn’t walk away from it,” she said.

Exeter running back Ethan Moss (26) is congratulated by his teammates after his 64-yard touchdown run in the first quarter of Saturday’s 35-21 interstate win for the Blue Hawks over Champlain Valley Union (Hinesburg, Vt.).
EXETER – When Exeter High School football coach Bill Ball was looking for an out-of-state game to fill the schedule, he looked to Vermont and asked Rutland coach Mike Norman who would be good competition, and Norman told him to give a call to Champlain Valley Union, who is the defending Division I champion in Vermont.
After making the three-hour trip from Hinesburg, the Redhawks’s day got a little longer quickly.
Exeter senior running back Desmond Rugg took a handoff on the game’s second play from scrimmage and ran untouched up the middle to finish off a 77-yard touchdown scamper that was the first of many explosive plays in Exeter’s 35-21 victory on a steamy Eustis Field inside William Ball Stadium.
“It was just great blocking and it was one cut and go,” Rugg said. “It was just like practice. We ran last week and it worked, and today was the same thing.”
Exeter (2-0) opened its Division I schedule with a 31-14 victory over Portsmouth/Oyster River. The Blue Hawks entered this week as the No. 2 team in the the New Hampshire Union Leader Poll behind defending Division I champion Londonderry (1-1). The Lancers traveled to Warwick, R.I., on Saturday and dropped a 40-20 decision to Bishop Hendricken.
Rugg set the tone on the first series, and fellow senior running back Ethan Moss followed with a 64-yard run up the gut for a score in Exeter’s next series that gave the Blue Hawks a 14-0 lead with 5:23 left in the first quarter. Moss finished with 155 yards rushing on just nine carries and added a second touchdown from one yard out that followed a 25-yard run to give Exeter a 21-0 lead with 10:02 left in the second quarter.
“My linemen worked hard to make it easy on me and the holes were there,” Moss said. “It was great blocking by the line. The tight ends got down the field, my cut was there and I just did my part. It’s great to have that explosive, big-play ability.”
Champlain Valley (1-1) closed to within 21-7 late in the second quarter, but Exeter’s Evan Delore returned the ensuing kickoff 79 yards for a touchdown to give Exeter a 28-7 halftime lead.
The Redhawks closed to within 28-14, but Bradley Richards gave Exeter back their comfortable cushion with a two-yard touchdown run with 6:30 left in the third quarter.
“(Champlain Valley) is a tough team, has some skill and are well-coached,” Ball said. “It was great to see those explosive plays, but I think we have to do a better job of grinding it out in the second half. But overall it was a good win over a quality opponent.”

Which fall shower curtain is best?
As the weather turns crisp and fall decorations fill our homes, swapping your regular shower curtain for a fall shower curtain can help you savor the season during your daily routine. You can find fall-themed shower curtains with various prints, patterns and sayings that evoke cozy fall vibes. But choosing the right one for your bathroom can be a bit overwhelming. If you’re looking for a sophisticated yet reasonably priced fall shower curtain, the Shirtacle Harvest Grains & Grasses Shower Curtain is a top choice.
What to know before you buy a fall shower curtain
Materials
Fall shower curtains can come in a few different materials, just like regular shower curtains. The most common material options are linen, hemp, cotton, nylon, polyester or poly-cotton blends and plastic.
Plastic shower curtains will be waterproof and affordable, though they may not offer the appealing seasonal aesthetic you may be looking for in a fall shower curtain. Fabric shower curtains provide a more refined look while still offering a water-resistant barrier across the tub.
Size
Since fall shower curtains are a seasonal specialty item, they may not come in as many sizes as other shower curtains. However, you can generally find sizes that most standard bathtubs, measuring between 70 and 72 inches wide and long. If you want a seasonal shower curtain outside those common measurements, be sure to choose a design that comes in multiple sizes.
Hanging method
Autumn-themed shower curtains can have various hanging methods like simple holes, sewn holes, small holes with metal grommets or large holes with metal grommets. Curtains with smaller holes require hooks to hang on a curtain rod, while large holes can be threaded directly onto the rod. Holes with grommets are more durable since the metal acts as a seal to protect the curtain from tears and rips over time.
Cleaning and maintenance
As with regular shower curtains, fall shower curtains require periodic cleaning to keep soap scum and mildew at bay. If your shower curtain is machine-washable, that’s your best bet. If not, scrubbing with soapy water and a brush or sponge can help refresh your curtain as needed. Since you’ll only bring out this specialty shower curtain one season a year, it’s a good idea to clean it before packing it up again to prevent the buildup of dirt or dust while in storage.
What to look for in a quality fall shower curtain
Unique designs and high-performing materials differentiate quality fall shower curtains from all the others. Besides finding a design that suits your style, a waterproof or water-resistant curtain may be the most important feature when shopping for the best fall shower curtain.
Design and patterns
As you look for a shower curtain that evokes your fondest fall memories, consider your personal design preferences as well as your existing bathroom decor. You can find fall-themed shower curtains in many different shades, prints and patterns. There are even seasonal shower curtains based on pop culture icons from big brand names. Consider how the curtain will fit within your existing color palette and patterns, then choose a seasonal curtain that complements what you already have.
Reinforced holes
Some shower curtains provide extra structure around the openings for hooks, such as sewn hems or metal grommets. If you’re decorating a high-traffic bathroom or just want to preserve your curtain for as long as possible, look for a seasonal shower curtain that has durable hook holes.
Water-resistance
While many shower curtains boast water-resistant capabilities, not all specialty shower curtains are made with longevity in mind. Seasonal shower curtains are more likely to use delicate fabrics to enhance the design since they won’t hang in your bathroom all year round. However, finding a shower curtain that fits your seasonal mood and resists water will help protect your curtain without demanding extra cleaning and maintenance.
How much you can expect to spend on a fall shower curtain
Most fall shower curtains cost $20-$70. More expensive shower curtains can cost up to $100 or more, depending on the unique designs, brand names, limited releases and materials.
Fall shower curtain FAQ
Do fall shower curtains come in sizes that fit shower stalls?
A. Potentially. Shower stalls are typically less wide than bathtubs, so you may need less material to cover them. Some fall shower curtains come in multiple sizes, so you can measure your space and choose the best size. Since these curtains are seasonal, many products only come in the standard size for bathtubs, so you may have to hang
Should I get a seasonal shower curtain made of polyester?
A. Yes, if you want a durable, water-resistant and easy-to-maintain curtain. Polyester offers many benefits for a seasonal shower curtain. It’s easy to clean and often machine-washable. You don’t need a plastic curtain liner, as polyester is already water-resistant and will perform well all by itself. It’s also fast-drying so you won’t need to worry about mold or mildew when you fold it up and tuck it away for the rest of the year.

MINOT, N.D. (KXNET) — A huge community get together was held and had almost anything you can imagine.
Party by the Park is a completely free event for the whole family, meant to bring Minot together in a central meeting location.
Eagles Wings Community Fellowship say they have been doing this for years but this year they went all out.
“It’s a really good question because planning takes a lot of time. We start maybe 3 or 4 months before, just for planning all these stand and tents,” said Eagles Wings Spanish Pastor, David Espinoza.
Party by the Park went from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, where they had racing pigs, ax throwing, food, and a car show.
Eagles Wing wanted to make sure that people of all ages could come and enjoy their event.
“It brings me great joy just to see everybody out here having a good time, having a positive experience and just being able to bless this great community and I see people having fun laughing, eating and it’s a great feeling,” added Eagles Wings Pastor, Travis Hovde.
This event was not just for those who are apart of the church, it was truly for anyone who wanted to enjoy the nice weather outside with the community and their family.
Eagles Wings felt the need for an event like this where a church put on an event for the Minot area.
“For us that’s important because sometimes the people have in mind that the church’s staff or church programs or activities is just inside and we don’t do anything to reach the community,” said Espinoza.
Last Party by the Park they had over 1,000 people in attendance and they hope to beat that number this year.
The fan favorite from the Party by the Park was Daryl’s Racing Pigs.
