OAKLAND — Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa says he is recovering well from having a pacemaker inserted for his heart and is uncertain when he’ll return to run the club.
La Russa was back with the White Sox in Oakland on Sunday to celebrate Dave Stewart having his No. 34 jersey retired by the Athletics. La Russa was there for the ceremony but not to manage his team.
The Hall of Famer, who turns 78 on Oct. 4, shared specifics of the procedure with The Associated Press after discussing his health before Chicago’s series finale against the Athletics. He said he is grateful to have had what he considered a relatively “simple” heart issue.
“Health is nothing to mess with,” La Russa said, standing in the dugout wearing jeans, sneakers and a short-sleeve collared golf shirt. “So I got checked in Chicago and the reason that I flew to Arizona is that’s been the place since the ’90s I’ve had my physicals. They addressed it, they fixed it and now it’s just a question of regaining strength.”
La Russa didn’t want to miss the special day for Stewart, his longtime ace with the A’s.
“It was an amazing bunch of years,” La Russa said of his stretch with Oakland from 1986-1995 that included three consecutive American League pennants and the 1989 earthquake World Series sweep of the San Francisco Giants.
La Russa is uncertain when he will be in uniform again and back in the dugout. Bench coach Miguel Cairo has been leading the club during La Russa’s nearly two-week absence. He was set to manage the reigning AL Central champions on Aug. 30 before being pulled away by the medical staff.
“I’m glad to see him. He looks really good,” Cairo said. “I’ve been talking to him so I know how he feels and he’s feeling good and he’s smiling. I’m glad to see him. I know the whole team is glad to see him.”
The plan is for La Russa to fly home with the team Sunday, take Monday’s team off day then see what’s next — “I don’t plan on being in uniform until the say it’s time to put a uniform on.”
La Russa and Cairo have been speaking twice a day and La Russa watches every game from home until he is cleared to do more. He said he had an issue at spring training, too.
“I’ve had my issue fixed, I’m mending,” La Russa said. ”When it gets better at some point, I’ll be strong enough to do a triathlon.”
So, might he actually consider training for a triathlon?
“No chance,” La Russa said, grinning.

(AP) — A soldier in the U.S. Army wrote on Instagram that he joined the military “for combat experience so I’m more proficient in killing” Black people, investigators say.
Killian Mackeithan Ryan also had five Instagram accounts that were in contact with others “associated with racially motivated extremism,” according to court records.
Ryan’s alleged social media activity is documented in a case filed late last month in U.S. District Court in North Carolina that accuses him of providing false information on a security clearance form to serve at Fort Bragg.
The case was first reported by Rolling Stone and comes at a time when the U.S. military is trying to purge its ranks of extremists and white supremacists.
For example, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin directed commanding officers last year to institute a one-day stand-down to address extremism. The military also updated its social media policy where liking and reposting certain content could result in disciplinary action.
And just this week, the names of more than 100 current military members appeared on the leaked membership rolls of a far-right extremist group that’s accused of playing a key role in last year’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Ryan is accused of claiming on the security clearance form that he wasn’t in contact with his biological father for more than 10 years, according to court records. He also said that his biological father wasn’t listed on his birth certificate.
Ryan’s biological father is a convicted felon with a criminal history in Washington state and California for drug violations and auto theft, according to court records.
Ryan was investigated by a police officer in Fayetteville, North Carolina, who works as part of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Ryan served in the regular Army at Fort Bragg until his arrest by the FBI on Aug. 26 and “was separated for serious misconduct,” U.S. Army officials said in a statement.
The statement did not elaborate on what the misconduct was. Ryan was also charged with driving under the influence at Fort Bragg in July, according to court documents.
The Army said the FBI informed it earlier this year that Ryan was under investigation.
“The U.S. Army does not tolerate racism, extremism or hatred in our ranks,” its statement said.
Ryan served as a fire support specialist, which is someone who gathers intelligence on enemy targets for artillery forces. The Army said he had no deployments.
For one of his Instagram accounts, Ryan used an email that contained the name “naziace1488,” according to court records.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, 1488 is a combination of numeric symbols that are popular among white supremacists.
The first is the number 14, which is shorthand for a 14-word slogan about the “future for white children,” the ADL said. The second is 88, which stands for “Heil Hitler” because H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, the ADL said.
Ryan was in touch with his biological father through Instagram, court records stated. His father also posted a photo of the two at Ryan’s high school graduation in 2019.
Legal experts say that Ryan could have jeopardized his security clearance if he listed recent contact with his biological father.
“They’re looking at the potential for you to be compromised in any way because of your personal situation,” said Colby Vokey, a military criminal defense lawyer.
Ryan would have needed clearance to work with intelligence on enemy positions as well as information about U.S. weapons systems, Vokey added.
Phillip Stackhouse, another military criminal defense lawyer, said prosecuting someone for providing false information on a security clearance form is not routine in his experience. Many people often just have their clearance revoked without being charged.
“Maybe they’re going to make an example of him,” Stackhouse said of Ryan. “Maybe it’s to apply pressure on him to cooperate in some other investigation.”
Ryan’s federal public defender, James E. Todd , Jr., did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — About 4,000 people across Arizona did the 9/11 tower challenge and almost half of the participants were in Tucson.
September 11, 2001, is a day that everyone remembers exactly where they were.
“Getting ready for my workday-- my roommate came and knocked on the door and she’s like you need to turn the news on right now,” said Jennifer Ledon, a first-time participant.
The World Trade Center’s Twin Towers had 110 floors and 2,071 steps that first responders and military personnel climbed on the day of the terrorist attacks.
“These were people that were willing to put their lives out to help others. They ran in, they did anything they could. They knew it wasn’t going to be a happy ending for a lot of people but yet they still fought,” said second-year participant, Emily Terry.
Thousands of pictures filled the lanyards of participants and were hung up throughout the Tucson Convention Center of the first responders and military men and women who died on 9/11.
“There were so many people that were lost from EMS down to little kids and to sit back and think about the people that lost their family that weren’t found for days and even months, it’s devastating,” said Ledon.
Each participant wore a badge with a picture of the person they were honoring. After completing 2,071 steps, the participant would ring the bell and say the person’s name.
“I get really emotional and it’s just hard,” said Ledon.
The event was not only to honor but to teach the younger generations about the tragic events that took place 21 years ago.
“Don’t ever forget,” said Ledon.

Lance ‘frustrated’ with his mistakes in 49ers’ loss to Bears
By JAY COHEN
AP Sports Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — Trey Lance got the keys to San Francisco’s offense in July. When it comes to driving in the rain, well, that still needs some work.
With Jimmy Garoppolo watching from the sideline, Lance and San Francisco were shut down by the Chicago Bears in a 19-10 loss on Sunday. Lance threw a costly interception in his third career start, and the 49ers hurt themselves with 12 penalties for 99 yards on a rainy afternoon at Soldier Field.
“Just too many mistakes I still have to clean up, for sure, for me,” Lance said. “But, man, excited. Still got my head up. Excited to get ready to go next week.”
Lance was named the starter at the beginning of training camp after Garoppolo directed San Francisco to the NFC championship last season. The 22-year-old quarterback appeared in six games as a rookie after he was selected by the 49ers with the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft.
San Francisco tried to trade Garoppolo in the offseason, but ended up keeping him around as the backup under a reworked contract.
The decision to go with Lance — along with the continued presence of Garoppolo — likely will follow the team around all season long. Lance showed why the Niners made the move in the opener, making a couple of nice throws and rushing for a team-high 54 yards, but it also looks as if there are going to be some growing pains along the way.
“Just frustrated a little bit. Feel like I’m a little better than that,” Lance said.
Lance and San Francisco played without star tight end George Kittle, who was inactive because of a groin injury. Then running back Elijah Mitchell left in the first half with a knee injury.
Asked about Mitchell, coach Kyle Shanahan said he wasn’t sure how long he would be out.
“I know they thought he had a chance to come back, then they ruled him out a quarter later,” Shanahan said.
Deebo Samuel’s 6-yard touchdown run helped San Francisco build a 10-0 lead. But the Niners also wasted a prime scoring opportunity when Samuel fumbled deep in Bears territory on the team’s first drive of the game.
Chicago got on the board when Justin Fields passed to a wide-open Dante Pettis, and the wide receiver made his way to the end zone for a 51-yard TD with 5:32 left in the third.
After Chicago jumped in front on another Fields touchdown pass, Lance was intercepted by Eddie Jackson on San Francisco’s first drive of the fourth. The Bears turned the miscue into Khalil Herbert’s 3-yard TD run and a 19-10 lead with 7:21 to go.
“I’m disappointed about some of the silly mistakes we did to (ourselves),” Shanahan said. “That’s not just our young guys. It’s veterans that have done a lot of good things for us. It’s the whole team that needs to clean that stuff up to have a chance to do what we want to do.”
With the rain picking up again at the end of the fourth, Lance and the Niners were shut out the rest of the way. Lance connected on 13 of 28 passes for 164 yards on the day, including a glaring miss with Tyler Kroft open down the field in the first quarter.
“We’ve got a young team. We’ll bounce back,” offensive lineman Trent Williams said. “We’ll be better next week. Anytime you let a team hang around it’s never going to be that good.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Inflation isn’t only costing small businesses money. It’s costing them customers as well.
At the Bushwick Grind Cafe in Brooklyn, New York, Kymme Williams-Davis has raised prices and switched to different types of goods to keep up with the rising costs of milk, coffee, paper goods and plastic, as well as shortages of items such as paper cups and plastic lids. She hasn’t experienced anything like this since opening in 2015.
Williams-Davis says she has lost nearly half of her regular customers. Some have traded down and are buying coffee for $1 at the McDonald’s or bodega on either side of the café instead of paying the $3 she charges.
“If (customers) can get it for a dollar for not that notable of a difference, they’re going next door.”
One customer who had been coming in for years stopped in to tell Williams-Davis he bought himself a coffeemaker.
“He said I’m going to start making coffee at home, I need to budget, so I won’t be coming in here every day,” she said. “I feel like I’ve been on a goodbye campaign.”
Inflation has been rising at nearly the fastest pace in 40 years, driven up by strong consumer spending and higher costs for food, rent, medical care, and other necessities.
On Tuesday, the government is expected to report that price increases slowed in August compared with a year ago, largely because of a steady drop in the cost of gas. Prices for other items, particularly food, are likely to keep rising quickly. Overall, economists forecast consumer prices rose 8.1% in August, compared with a year ago, down from 8.5% in July, according to data provider FactSet.
For much of the pandemic, small business customers were largely tolerant of price increases and kept on spending. But now owners say they’re seeing some pushback.
Ninety-seven percent of small business owners say inflationary pressure is the same or worse than it was three months ago, according to a survey of more than 1,500 small businesses by Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Voices. Sixty-five percent have raised prices to offset higher costs. And 38% say they’ve seen a decline in customer demand due to price increases.
Nicole Miskelley, who manages PMR, an auto and diesel repair shop in Marion, Illinois, said she has seen customers delay repairs that aren’t urgent such as scheduled maintenance or getting new tires.
At the beginning of the year, Miskelley’s labor costs rose 12% and the cost of towing cars to the shop went up due to higher gas prices. Parts are more expensive too. Last year, an air conditioner processor would cost her $200, but this year she can’t find one for under $400. So, she’s had to raise her average price for a repair by 30% to 40%.
Her customers have noticed.
“Typically, I am able to joke about how drastically different things are now and most agree with me,” she said. “On occasion, I deal with push back,” including the rare bout of yelling or cursing by a customer.
“Among a lot of my older customers, who are on restricted income like Social Security, they say they have to cut back,” she said. “They say, ‘I know I need these tires, but I need to make a couple more rounds (of Social Security) to save up.’”
She says she’s a little worried but hopes people can adjust to inflation.
“Right now , it kind of sucks because costs increased faster than I could catch up with. In time, I hope people budget better and their incomes change to reflect the economy.”
The pullback is more dramatic among consumers with less discretionary income. Walmart says its customers, who tend to have lower incomes, are spending more on food and less on other items. Small business owners are seeing much of the same.
Kim Shanahan operates the online store Gifts Fulfilled in Berlin, Maryland, which sells gift baskets and care packages and employs people with disabilities.
“Last year has been challenging to say the least,” she said. “All prices across the board have gone up.” Everything from cardboard, containers and the food that she includes in the baskets have become more expensive.
She implemented a 5% increase to cover some costs. After she raised the price of her most popular get-well gift basket called “One Tough Cookie,” from $27.50 to $28.95, sales went down, she said.
Less expensive baskets, such as those with gifts and candy that sell for $25 and under, have been the most affected, with unit sales down about 50% in 2022 compared with last year. “The whole segment of the market is gone for us,” she said.
“We are a ‘want to-’ not ‘have to-’ have item in our primary categories,” Shanahan said. “What we sort of see is people maybe buying a $50 gift dropping down to $35. And the whole lower tier aren’t even buying at all, they don’t have the discretionary funds.”
Schuyler Northstrom of Uinta Mattress, a mattress maker in Salt Lake City, Utah, says he’s raised his prices by 15% since 2020. A mattress that used to sell for $289 wholesale is now $330.
The increase doesn’t fully cover Uinta’s higher costs. Raw materials such as springs and foam have increased by 40%. But Northstrom fears that raising prices any higher could cause his customers to drop him.
“The pushback from retailers is pretty strong there,” he said. His retail partners include John Paras mattress stores and 2Brothers Mattress, both in Utah. “Sometimes we’re displaced by some of the larger guys with a lower cost product because of their volume.”
To adapt, Northstrom is redesigning the mattress to cut down on costs, and taking less profit, which isn’t sustainable in the long term, he said. He’s also focusing more on the higher end, mattresses that cost up to $1,200, which hasn’t been hit as hard.
“We’re feeling it, we’re not a necessary purchase, people buy food and gas,” he said.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Chargers receiver Keenan Allen didn't play after halftime in Los Angeles' season opener because of a hamstring injury.
Allen got hurt in the second quarter Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had four catches on four targets from Justin Herbert for 66 yards before his injury, including a 42-yard gain.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection has been one of the NFL's most productive receivers over the past half-decade. He had 106 catches for 1,138 yards and six touchdowns last season.
DeAndre Carter stepped into the spot usually occupied by Allen in the Chargers' offense, and the veteran newcomer made three catches for 64 yards and a score.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Cleveland Browns are 1-0 for the first time since 2004.
Winning at the expense of former quarterback Baker Mayfield only made it a little sweeter.
Cade York kicked a 58-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in his NFL debut, lifting the the Browns to a 26-24 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday that spoiled Mayfield’s bid for vengeance after weeks of build-up and supposed barbs.
“The tone was set with the attitude of some of the guys on the other side,” said Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett, who had two sacks. “We were just ready to get out there and put things to bed.
“It had us a bit off the leash,” he added, a reference to T-shirts that Mayfield’s camp had produced earlier in the week.
Nick Chubb ran for 141 yards and Kareem Hunt had 70 total yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns as the Browns won their first road season opener in 28 years.
Mayfield, who spent four seasons with Cleveland prior to being traded in July, finished 16 of 27 for 235 yards with two touchdowns.
“We would love to have the bragging rights against those guys, but we didn’t finish — mostly because we didn’t start (the game) fast enough,” Mayfield said.
Mayfield nearly pulled it off anyway.
He led the Panthers back from a 13-point fourth quarter deficit with a 7-yard touchdown run, a 75-yard TD strike to Robbie Anderson and by moving his team 64 yards in seven plays to set up Eddy Pineiro’s go-ahead field goal with 1:13 remaining.
But the Panthers left too much time on the clock.
Jacoby Brissett, filling in for suspended Browns star Deshaun Watson, completed passes for 13 yards to Donovan Peoples-Jones and 9 yards to Amari Cooper to set up York’s winning kick, the longest for the franchise since 1984.
York, the team’s fourth-round draft pick, told Brissett a few months ago at his rookie dinner that as long he gets the ball to the 40, he’s in his range.
“The coach always says, ‘Get to the 30-yard line’ in late-game situations. I made the joke about, ‘Just get me to the 40,'” York said.
There was a controversial call on the play prior to York’s winning kick.
On third down, Brissett appeared to fake a spike and officials threw several flags stopping the action. But rather than moving the Browns out of field goal range, officials picked up the flags after a brief meeting at midfield.
“We determined that stepping back does not disqualify the quarterback from spiking the ball, and we allowed him to do that by rule,” referee Brad Rogers said in a pool report.
Panthers coach Matt Rhule had a different interpretation.
“A quarterback pumping or mishandling a snap can’t take a step back or it becomes intentional grounding,” Rhule said. “… I started screaming intentional grounding, a 10-second runoff and the game is about to be over. They called it and then changed it.”
The Browns harassed Mayfield early on, sacking him four times and tipping five passes at the line of scrimmage. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2018 also fumbled two shotgun snaps, took a delay of game penalty and threw an interception that led to Cleveland’s first touchdown.
The fiery Mayfield kept his emotions mostly in check until early in the fourth quarter when — trailing 20-7 — he dropped back to pass, saw an opening and raced up the middle for a touchdown, and then celebrated by riffling the ball off the inside wall of the stadium.
Carolina’s slow start cost them — they gained just 13 yards in their fist five possessions and fell behind 14-0.
Grant Delpit’s interception of Mayfield led to a 1-yard touchdown pass from Brissett to a wide open Hunt. The score came after Panthers cornerback C.J. Henderson essentially tackled Amari Cooper in the end zone before the ball arrived, giving Cleveland a first-and-goal at the 1.
Hunt’s 24-yard TD run gave Cleveland its biggest lead at 14-0.
Mayfield appeared to get some of his mojo back on Carolina’s sixth possession, connecting on a 50-yard pass to Ian Thomas to set up a 1-yard touchdown leap by Christian McCaffrey to cut the lead in half.
But after Panthers new kicker Eddy Pineiro sent the kickoff out of bounds, the Browns were able to add a field goal to make it a 17-7 game at the half.

LONDON (AP) — People wanting to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II as she lies in state at the Houses of Parliament in London need to be prepared for a long wait.
The government has published guidelines for people wishing to file past the late queen's closed coffin as it lies in state at the Palace of Westminster from 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) Wednesday until 6:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) on Sept. 19. Thousands are expected to want to pay tribute to the only monarch that many in the United Kingdom have ever known.
The rules were made public a day after thousands of people lined roads and bridges Sunday as a hearse carried the queen's coffin across the Scottish countryside from her beloved Balmoral Castle to Edinburgh.
“If you wish to attend the Lying-in-State, please note that there will be a queue, which is expected to be very long. You will need to stand for many hours, possibly overnight, with very little opportunity to sit down as the queue will be continuously moving,” the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said in its guidelines.
The closed coffin of the monarch who died Thursday at 96 will rest on a raised platform called a catafalque in Westminster Hall at the Houses of Parliament.
“Large crowds are expected, and there are likely to be delays on public transport and road closures around the area,” the ministry warned.
Visitors will have to pass through airport-style security and can only bring one small bag with one zipper opening. Larger bags can be stowed at a special facility — but only if there is space available.
The ministry advises people to bring essentials for a potentially long wait exposed to whatever elements an early fall day in London can throw at them — an umbrella or sunscreen, a cell phone power bank and any needed medication.
No food or liquids will be allowed past security screening at the Houses of Parliament. Nor will flowers or other tributes such as candles, toys or photographs.
“Please respect the dignity of this event and behave appropriately. You should remain silent while inside the Palace of Westminster,” the advice says, adding that people must dress appropriately and turn off their mobile phones before going through security.
Included in a list of things not to do: “Film, photograph, use mobile phones or other handheld devices in the security search area or within the Palace of Westminster. Bring or erect gazebos or tents. Light barbecues and fires.”
And a long list of prohibited items includes fireworks, smoke canisters, flares, whistles, laser devices and other items that could be used to cause a disturbance as well as any banners, placards, flags, advertising or marketing messages.

Union Berlin go top of the Bundesliga for the first time in their history with 1-0 with over Cologne as Bayern Munich drop points at home in to Stuttgart to leave them two points behind new league leaders
- Union Berlin are top of the Bundesliga table for the first time in club's history
- Their 1-0 win over Cologne saw them leapfrog Freiburg and Bayern Munich
- Timo Huebers’s own goal after three minutes was enough to win the game
- Munich could only manage a 2-2 draw at home to Stuttgart in their clash
Union Berlin moved to the top of the Bundesliga standings for the first time in the German club’s history after they came away from Cologne with a 1-0 win on Sunday thanks to an own goal early in the game.
In a whirlwind opening to the match, Union were fortunate to take the lead in the third minute when Cologne defender Timo Huebers’s attempted block on a low cross was deflected past his goalkeeper at the near post.
Cologne were unlucky to concede a penalty five minutes later when a header came off the back of Luca Kilian’s elbow but goalkeeper Marvin Schwaebe saved Jordan Siebatcheu’s tame spot kick to deny Union a two-goal cushion.
The Union Berlin players celebrate going top of the Bundesliga for the first time in their history
Union had their opportunities to double the lead, with Bundesliga top scorer Sheraldo Becker’s smart finish from an acute angle ruled out for offside by VAR while Christopher Trimmel saw his chipped effort come off the crossbar.
Kilian’s afternoon got worse when he was sent off for a second yellow card trying to stop a Union counter-attack and 10-man Cologne could not find a way past the visitors who held on for the win.
Freiburg could have spoiled Union’s party later on Sunday by going top with a win over Borussia Moenchengladbach in the weekend’s final game, but they were held to a 0-0 draw to leave them second in the standings after six rounds.
With 14 points, Union are a point ahead of Freiburg and two clear of champions Bayern Munich, who slipped to third.

A wreath of the Queen’s favourite flowers which was laid over her coffin also served as a touching tribute to her late husband, Prince Philip.
The wreath, which was prepared by Balmoral staff, included sweet peas, dahlias, phlox, white heather and pine fir – all gathered from the Aberdeenshire estate.
Sweet peas – which were among the Queen’s favourite flowers – were also in the wreath laid on the Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin after his death in April last year.
Sweet peas, which are associated with April birthdays, can symbolise departures and farewells while dahlias can represent a lasting commitment between two people.

For a man he once said never knew how he knew. That is our gift\nIn order a man should serve we' ll take one out when you are able then the three together at four or all ten will go when they fall we should know the better the more we suffer, and that the one or ones for the first are called voluntees' when for you, no better\nWe knew who our true friends are when he died! Not from how nice you speak it is the man I’ve been meaning to write this one for years. It was the potato chips that finally made me do it.
Not just any old Lay’s or Ruffles, mind you. No, I’m talking about a new-to-me brand of chips (on its website, the Miami-based company says it has actually been around for 25 years) I recently saw at a checkout counter. Rap Snacks, they were called, available in such flavors as: Notorious B.I.G. Honey Jalapeño, Snoop Dogg O.G. Bar-B-Que Cheddar and Rick Ross Sweet Chili Lemon Pepper, each packaged with the rapper in question on the bag.
Which inspires me to finally ask a question I’ve been meaning to ask for a long time. Don’t you feel kind of silly now?
Meaning, all you folks who, 30 years ago, give or take, thought rap music was the end of the world. We’re talking about a furor unlike anything we’d seen since men with sledgehammers were smashing jukeboxes, trying to kill rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950s. Rap, to hear some of you tell it, was a cultural apocalypse, and rappers, the most frightening men in America.
People are also reading…
Snoop Dogg, then billed as Snoop Doggy Dogg, was on the cover of Newsweek giving the camera maximum attitude. The headline: “When is Rap 2 Violent?” These days, Martha Stewart’s best friend is to be seen walking a mythic beach in TV commercials, handing out beer.
Then there’s Ice Cube, who, as a member of NWA, drew a menacing rebuke from the FBI for a certain song that sharply critiqued policing in African American neighborhoods. He has since become a movie star, playing a dad, a soldier and a barber shop owner, among many others.
Ice-T was boycotted and reviled over a speed-metal song called “Cop Killer.” He now shills for a breakfast cereal, an automobile warranty company and a laundry detergent, and has spent the last 22 years playing — wait for it — a cop on NBC.
So yes, the arc of their careers, the then-and-now snapshots, would seem to suggest some feeling silly is in order.
People tend to forget the power of American marketing to absorb and commodify that which once frightened and appalled. That amnesia notwithstanding, the process is not new. To the contrary, it’s one we saw with Elvis in the ‘50s, the Rolling Stones in the ‘60s, Alice Cooper in the ‘70s, Prince in the ‘80s. They were all scary once upon a time; all threatened the status quo. Now they don’t. Now they are the stuff of nostalgia, museums and, in some cases, even scholarship.
The point is not that popular music ought not be criticized when it is violent, racist, misogynistic or otherwise troublesome. Rather, it’s that when said criticism takes on the tenor of fire alarms and air-raid sirens, when there is panic in the streets and a general sense that this song, this artist, this genre, represents a cultural Armageddon, a mortal threat requiring scary headlines or government intervention, it suggests the critics have forgotten how many times we’ve traveled this road and that a little perspective might be in order. Not to mention a little healthy respect for tomorrow’s ability to render today’s fears silly and shrill.
It is, after all, each generation’s solemn duty to outrage the one that came before. And if you are a member of the one that came before, you would do well to recall how it was when you were the one doing the outraging. And to take solace in the fact that controversy inevitably becomes commodity.
Exhibit A: Snoop Dogg O.G. Bar-B-Que Cheddar. Because time happens to us all, nobody stays dangerous forever.
And marketing always has the last laugh.

Police shooting leaves man dead in Padbury, officers say he confronted them with knife
By Grace BurmasA man has died after being shot by police outside a house in Perth's northern suburbs.
Key points:
- Police say an armed man covered in blood rushed towards them
- An officer says police acted quickly to prevent further injury
- Police were called to the house for a medical emergency
The shooting happened in front of a home on Macdonald Avenue in Padbury around 10pm last night after local police were called to support St John Ambulance.
Speaking at the scene, WA Police Superintendent Tony Flack said officers had approached the residence's front door when a 35-year-old man rushed towards them, armed with a knife, naked and covered in his own blood.
"Unfortunately they've had to discharge a firearm and he is subsequently dead," he told reporters at the scene.
"I can only say that a large naked male running at you at speed with a knife, you have to act really quickly and really professionally, and I'm very proud of the way the officers handled themselves.
"They certainly prevented further injury."
Superintendent Flack said the people living at the house had called an ambulance after the man had inflicted wounds to his own neck.
"He was bleeding profusely, and they called him in as a medical emergency," he said.
Officers remain at the scene, with a police investigation underway.
More to come.

SEATTLE — Students in Seattle on Monday will miss a fourth day of school as teachers strike over pay and classroom support.
The strike began Wednesday, what was supposed to be the first day of school for the approximately 49,000 students in the district.
Striking teachers said their main concern was educational and emotional help for students, especially those with special needs or learning difficulties. The Seattle Education Association said 95% of its voting members approved the strike.
In Seattle, the school district had offered pay raises of an additional 1% above the 5.5% cost-of-living increase set by state lawmakers — far less than the union says it wants — plus one-time bonuses for certain teachers, including $2,000 for third-year Seattle teachers earning an English language or dual-language endorsement.
The union says it is opposing the district’s efforts to eliminate staffing ratios for special education students, saying that will mean more work for general education teachers and special education teachers alike.
Districts around the country have faced labor challenges as the pandemic put extraordinary stress on teachers and students.

Women’s entrepreneur accelerator program needs funding to stay alive, as Windsor ranks poorly for female-owned businesses
There are a lot of reasons for Amy Borelli to celebrate.
Not only did she hold a soft opening for her scented candle business, SoHum, but she recently won thousands of dollars by winning a pitch competition for women entrepreneurs.
It’s the tail end of an annual program which helps women turn their business dreams into reality. That program, however, is funded by the federal government — and the date when that money stops coming is fast approaching.
On Thursday, Borelli won the VentureWomen pitch competition, beating out eight other women entrepreneurs to take home a $3,000 grant for her business.
VentureWomen is a four-month accelerator program for businesswomen looking to explore their ideas, increase their entrepreneurial skills, expand their network and grow their business.
The program connects businesswomen with workshops, mentors and networking opportunities.
"I think, as women, we can be people pleasers a lot, wanting to be there for everyone all the time — and that translates into our businesses," said Borelli, adding she rarely turns off her phone and finds herself responding to work messages at midnight.
"So it was good to know that I'm not the only one out there that's like that … It can be a very lonely journey. I’m sure a lot of women who are entrepreneurs feel this way."
According to Statistics Canada, Windsor has historically ranked as the worst city in Ontario where women start up their own businesses and one of the lowest in all of Canada.
Wen Toeh, director of the University of Windsor’s Epicentre which operates the VentureWomen program, women — "not just in Windsor but everywhere" — continue to face a number of barriers that may stop them from becoming entrepreneurs.
"If they hold multiple roles like being a mother, a student, having another job, having to take care of family members, women traditionally always take on those responsibilities," said Toeh, adding the VentureWomen program looks to serve as an "opportunity" for women to start up their own business.
"This program is funded by the Government of Canada under the Women Entrepreneurship strategy. The goal of launching that that fund is to double the number of women entrepreneurs in five years."
The VentureWomen program started in January 2020, according to Toeh, who said Thursday’s pitch competition marked the end of its third fiscal year.
But that funding will come to an end in March 2023.
"We are actively seeking for funding to continue the program," said Toeh, adding the program has supported more than 40 women become entrepreneurs.
"The program has been so successful. We already have requests from other women entrepreneurs who want to join the program. So I'm very hopeful that we will have funding to continue the program."
For Borelli, she would like to see entrepreneurship promoted to more women in Windsor-Essex and adds the lessons she learned in the VentureWomen program are something she will hold on to forever.
"It was comforting to hear the experiences of other women and how they are doing in their journey: those who are families, those who don’t, those who are young," she said.
"It was a really great group of all different experiences to really learn from."
SoHum is located in Windsor’s Walkerville neighbourhood and allows people to pick out a scent and mix it into a candle, hand soap, body wash, room spray or diffuser.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An alligator, drugs, guns and money were seized during a raid at two homes in Albuquerque last month, but New Mexico wildlife officials said Saturday they are still searching for a young tiger they believe is being illegally kept as a pet.
Investigators think the tiger is with someone “in New Mexico or a nearby state,” New Mexico Department of Game and Fish conservation officers said in a statement.
The animal was believed to be less than 1 year old and weigh under 60 pounds, but tigers can grow to 600 pounds, the department said, calling large meat-eating animals such as tigers and alligators a clear danger to the public.
Wild tigers are listed globally as an endangered species. Alligators were listed as endangered in the U.S. from 1967 to 1987, but today thrive in the wild.
The alligator seized by authorities is about 3 feet long. It was taken to a wildlife facility after state conservation officers and federal, state and local police served search warrants Aug. 12.
RELATED: An experimental program gave Florida manatees 160,000 pounds of lettuce. They ate all of it.
Albuquerque police reported a 26-year-old man was arrested and investigators seized 2 pounds of heroin, 10.5 pounds of cocaine, 49 pounds of marijuana, 17 rifles and pistols, fentanyl and Xanax pills, and nearly $42,000.

Sir Mark Rowley: Met's new commissioner 'tougher than he looks'
By Daniel Sandford
BBC News home affairs correspondent
- Published
Sir Mark Rowley's professorial demeanour, and his gentle Birmingham accent, hide a steely determination - but he's likely to need all his resilience and skill in turning round the Metropolitan Police as he takes up his post as commissioner on Monday.
In 1993, six years into his now 31-year career, he and another unarmed officer chased a robber brandishing two knives and a gun into an alley, and tackled him to the ground.
The pair were commended for their bravery and - to this day - the Cambridge mathematics graduate emphasises that, like many UK police officers, he has never personally carried a gun, nor ever wished to, despite having commanded firearms operations.
He now faces a challenge that will test all of his bravery, persistence and strategic skills, to deliver the promise he gave when he applied for the job: "More trust, less crime, high standards".
His plans include new precision crime-fighting teams to get a grip on crime at a local level, and he will have to address strong concerns about the Met's culture.
The force he is taking over is facing a crisis of trust, is being closely monitored by the policing watchdog, and one of his first meetings will be with the inspectorate's "star chamber", the Policing Performance Oversight Group.
Policing 'nightmare'
The Met is the most high-profile force in the UK because it is by far the biggest, because of the international brand of Scotland Yard, and because of its national role in counter terrorism - but the last two years have been terrible for the London force.
The nightmare started when one of its own officers, Wayne Couzens, kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard and the Met was then heavily criticised for using force to detain demonstrators for breaching coronavirus regulations, when a vigil in her memory became a rally.
Then there was a report into the failed investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan, which suggested the Met was guilty of "institutional corruption", something it vigorously denied. And last autumn the inquest into the victims of the serial killer Stephen Port exposed some extraordinarily incompetent detective work.
The last straw came in February when an Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) report into WhatsApp messages between a small group of officers at Charing Cross Police Station laid bare a culture of casual racism and joking about rape. This ultimately led to the resignation of Sir Mark's predecessor Dame Cressida Dick.
'Tougher than he looks'
For Richard Walton, who worked closely with Sir Mark as the Met's commander for counter terrorism, the new commissioner's excellent strategic skills and steely character are a good fit for the force.
He is a "great appointment, good news for Londoners, and bad news for criminals," Mr Walton told the BBC.
"He's gritty, he's resilient, he knows his mind, he is much tougher than he looks. He is not someone to sit back and wait for things to happen. He has a clear strategy on how to reduce crime in London."
Sir Mark will all need his leadership and analytical skills, plus possibly some luck, to turn things round at the Met. It will mean introducing a rigorous new culture and stronger discipline, but also getting the basics right, for example on burglary and on violence against women.
Last week, the new Prime Minister Liz Truss said "safer streets" were a priority for her government, and forces across England and Wales are currently under scrutiny for their performance.
Diana Fawcett, chief executive at the charity Victim Support, says regaining trust must be a top priority for the new Commissioner.
"We know from our work supporting victims of crime across London, that lack of trust in the police is a very real issue, especially amongst women," she said.
David Spencer, head of crime and justice at the centre-right think-tank Policy Exchange, and a former Met detective chief inspector, says strong measures are needed to overhaul a force that "has been in permanent crisis over recent years".
Mr Spencer said he believes "at least a quarter" of the Met's current top officers should be removed, and every local commander's performance reviewed, "with those not up to the job replaced".
Climbing the ranks
Sir Mark Rowley was born in Birmingham and went to Handsworth Grammar. His father ran a small engineering business, his mother was a teacher.
At Cambridge he studied mathematics (1983 -1986) and rowed for the St Catherine's College 1st VIII - but even before he went to Cambridge he knew he wanted to be a police officer. He was turned down by the Metropolitan Police because of his poor eyesight so he joined his local force, West Midlands Police, in 1987.
In 1989, while he was still a probationer, he was beaten unconscious and had his nose broken while responding to a pub fight.
That year he married Ali, who is now an Upper Tribunal judge in the Administrative Appeals Court. Soon after that he started a speedy climb through the ranks, pioneering some innovative ideas to tackle the 1990s burglary epidemic as a young detective, then joining the new National Criminal Intelligence Service (a forerunner of the National Crime Agency).
The next phase of his career was at Surrey Police, where was the chief superintendent in charge of West Surrey before being appointed Chief Constable in 2009. He was an early pioneer of what became known as neighbourhood policing, and his proposed precision crime-fighting teams are likely to be an updated more intelligence-led version of that model. At Surrey, as budgets shrank under austerity, he managed to increase the number of officers by 200 by thinking creatively and making cuts elsewhere.
Counter Terrorism
He first joined the Metropolitan Police as an assistant commissioner in December 2011, leading the force's response to the riots earlier that year. This led to him being shouted down on the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice.
In the turbulent years 2014-2018, he became known to the UK public as the usually reassuring face in charge of Counter Terrorism Policing. The Islamic State group declared its caliphate in Syria and Iraq on his second day in the job.
He was in post when hundreds of British people, including 15-year-old Bethnal Green girls, went to join Islamic State. He was the man who had to steady the nation's nerves, giving live press conferences outside New Scotland Yard during the multiple attacks of 2017, as lives were taken by violent extremists on Westminster Bridge, at Manchester Arena, near London Bridge and in Finsbury Park.
He had spent three years leading the network set up to prevent such attacks, but in 2017 the extremists breached the defences time and again. Soon afterwards, he applied to lead the Metropolitan Police, but was overlooked in favour of Dame Cressida Dick, and retired from policing in 2018.
Now he is returning. During the intervening four years he has walked to Everest Base Camp and written a thriller - about a female counter-terrorism detective investigating multiple attacks by both far-right and Islamist extremists.
A former senior colleague joked: "He does have a weakness. He is a supporter of Aston Villa."

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — With Rickey Henderson in the house for a festive day celebrating Dave Stewart, Tony Kemp accomplished something even the base-stealing Hall of Famer didn't.
Kemp became the first leadoff hitter in Oakland history with a home run, triple and four runs scored as the Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox 10-3 on Sunday to avoid a winless homestand.
Bert Campaneris did it with Kansas City A's.
“I had no idea,” Kemp said. “But to especially do something at the leadoff spot that Rickey Henderson held for such a long time is definitely a humbling accolade but I'm just happy that we got the win.”
Ramón Laureano hit a two-run homer and Vimael Machin hit a two-run double in the decisive fifth inning to back Cole Irvin's second straight winning decision to help the A's snap a five-game losing streak.
Defending AL Central champion Chicago had a four-game winning streak end with just the club's third loss in 12 games as it chases first-place Cleveland in the division race down the September stretch.
Acting manager Miguel Cairo left the Bay Area pleased as his club concluded a seven-game road trip.
“It was awesome to see guys battle every day, hit, come back being down,” Cairo said. “We did everything the right way. Good pitching. That was a really good trip.”
Machin delivered in the A's six-run sixth moments after a tying single by Kemp, who homered in the sixth and finished with three hits. Seth Brown hit an RBI double in the first against Johnny Cueto (7-8) lost for the first time in six career starts against Oakland.
Irvin (8-11) allowed three runs — two earned — on four hits, struck out five and walked two over seven impressive innings.
A's outfielder Chad Pinder was ejected after the first inning when he came out to confront third base umpire Edwin Moscoso and had to be restrained by Machin. Pinder certainly was still upset about a foul ball call moments earlier down the left-field foul line when he thought he had an RBI single. The A's challenged the call and it was confirmed as foul.
Manager Mark Kotsay also ran out to argue but stayed in the game.
Cueto was tagged for seven runs, five earned, on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings.
A moment of silence was held to remember Sept. 11 victims.
STEW'S DAY
Stewart became the sixth A's player to have his number retired, his No. 34 in the upper deck rafters alongside fellow No. 34 Rollie Fingers.
“This is different than pitching I'll tell you that,” Stewart said, greeted by chants of “Stew!” during a pregame ceremony.
“... It was a pleasure to play in Oakland for you, to grow up in Oakland for who I am what I'll always be is an Oakland native, thank you," he said.
Stewart — the 1989 World Series MVP and four-time 20-game winner — threw out the ceremonial first pitch to his former catcher, Terry Steinbach.
White Sox manager Tony La Russa, who has been out of the dugout for nearly two weeks and is recovering from having a pacemaker inserted for his heart, rejoined his Chicago club to be part of the ceremony for the former A's ace on La Russa's Oakland staff.
Reggie Jackson, Dennis Eckersley, Mark McGwire and Henderson also were part of the festivities.

Jefferies previously had the ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction in 2017. This time, the recovery period is expected to be approximately 16 months, according to A's athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. ... RHP James Kaprielian is in line to start Thursday in his first outing since being scratched Friday. He cut the middle finger of his pitching hand Thursday night when he hit it against a wall putting on his shirt. Kaprielian played catch and is scheduled to throw a bullpen Tuesday. ... Laureano replaced Pinder. Laureano was supposed to have his first day off since returning Tuesday from the injured list and a strained left oblique that sidelined him Aug. 15.

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.

How to make delicious espresso-based drinks in your own kitchen
If you can’t start the day without a piping hot cup of coffee, you probably your favorite local coffee house pretty regularly. With all their fancy equipment, they can make impressive — and delicious — coffee-based drinks.
If you invest in a professional-quality espresso machine, you can re-create many of your favorite espresso- and coffee-based drinks in your own kitchen. Check out these tips for making some of the most popular espresso-based beverages at home.
In this article: Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine and Calphalon Espresso Machine
What to look for in an espresso machine
If you want a barista-quality espresso machine for your kitchen, it’s essential to know what features to look for.
Start by deciding whether you want a semi-automatic or a super-automatic espresso machine:
- Semi-automatic model: With a semi-automatic model, you need to grind the beans, tamp the grounds and steam the milk manually.
- Super-automatic espresso machine: A super-automatic espresso machine does all the work for you, so they’re pretty much foolproof. They cost more than semi-automatic machines, though.
The best espresso machines have a water tank large enough to hold enough water for all the drinks you’ll make in a day. Many tanks are even removable for quick, easy refills, and some also have a filter to ensure there aren’t any toxins or impurities in the water.
Another important factor is the time it takes for the machine to reach the proper brewing temperature. Pro-grade machines can often reach their peak temperature in 10 minutes or less. Lower-end models usually require extra heating time.
You’ll also want to consider whether the espresso machine has a built-in burr grinder for producing the super-fine grind you need to make espresso. If your machine isn’t equipped with its own grinder, you’ll need to purchase one separately.
Most espresso machines have a built-in milk frother or steam wand, which is a necessity for making many espresso-based drinks. The frother or wand heats the milk and gives it a foamy texture you can then mix into the espresso or use to top your drinks. You can purchase a milk frother or wand separately if your machine doesn’t have a built-in frother.
How to make popular cafe drinks at home
With a high-end espresso machine in your kitchen, you can make nearly any espresso- or coffee-based drink you usually order at your favorite coffee shop.
Americano: An Americano is essentially a watered-down espresso. Add a single or double shot of espresso to 6 ounces of hot water. You can adjust the amount of water depending on how strong you want your drink to be.
Macchiato: A macchiato is a shot of espresso with a dollop of frothed milk on top. Start with a shot of espresso in an espresso cup, and fill it the rest of the way with steamed milk. You can add as much or as little milk as you like, but it’s traditionally meant to be equal parts espresso and milk. Finish off the drink by adding a spoonful of frothed milk on top.
Cappuccino: A cappuccino is a balanced drink with equal parts espresso, milk and foam. Pull a shot of espresso into a cup, which is usually 1 ounce. Then add 1 ounce of steamed milk and 1 ounce of frothed milk. You can increase the amount of espresso to two shots, but you also have to increase the amount of milk and foam.
Latte: A latte is similar to a cappuccino, so it begins with a single or double shot of espresso. Then pour 4 to 8 ounces of steamed milk down the side of the cup, so it mixes with the espresso for an almost swirled appearance. You can then add a thin layer of microfoam on top. For a flavored latte, add the syrup of your choice to the milk before steaming.
Cafe mocha: A cafe mocha combines espresso with chocolate and steamed milk. Start with a single or double shot of espresso, and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup or powder. Next, add frothed milk until the cup is full. You can then top your drink with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.

SEATTLE (AP) — Students in Seattle on Monday will miss a fourth day of school as teachers strike over pay and classroom support.
The school district Sunday afternoon announced the cancellation of Monday classes and said negotiations with the union were ongoing.
“We are optimistic an agreement will be reached soon so that students can begin school,” Seattle Public Schools said.
The strike began Wednesday, what was supposed to be the first day of school for the approximately 49,000 students in the district.
Striking teachers said their main concern was educational and emotional help for students, especially those with special needs or learning difficulties. The Seattle Education Association said 95% of its voting members approved the strike.
In Seattle, the school district had offered pay raises of an additional 1% above the 5.5% cost-of-living increase set by state lawmakers — far less than the union says it wants — plus one-time bonuses for certain teachers, including $2,000 for third-year Seattle teachers earning an English language or dual-language endorsement.
The union says it is opposing the district’s efforts to eliminate staffing ratios for special education students, saying that will mean more work for general education teachers and special education teachers alike.
Districts around the country have faced labor challenges as the pandemic put extraordinary stress on teachers and students.

Biden will not travel with a delegation to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral
By Jake Tapper, Anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent
Buckingham Palace did not invite President Joe Biden to assemble a delegation to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II next week, and instead extended a specific invitation for only the President and first lady, a White House official told CNN.
The White House announced Sunday that Biden had formally accepted the invitation and would be accompanied by the first lady.
Previous state funerals, such as the one for former South African president Nelson Mandela, have allowed for the sitting president to bring a delegation of officials to the event.
The state funeral for the Queen will take place on September 19 at Westminster Abbey, and she will lie in state in Westminster Hall from Wednesday, Buckingham Palace announced Saturday.
The Queen’s coffin arrived Sunday at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, following a six-hour journey from Balmoral Castle to the Scottish capital. Britain’s longest-serving monarch died Thursday at the age of 96 at her Scottish country estate in Balmoral.

Barcelona forward Ansu Fati apologises to Cadiz for scoring minutes after a fan in the crowd suffered heart attack before being resuscitated and taken to hospital
- Ansu Fati apologised to Cadiz after scoring Barcelona's third goal on Saturday
- Earlier on, the referee halted action as medical staff attended to the spectator
- The supporter was resuscitated and taken to hospital following the incident
- Barcelona went on to score two more goals in comfortable 4-0 away from home
Ansu Fati apologised to Cadiz fans for scoring just five minutes after a fan in the crowd suffered a heart attack during Barcelona's 4-0 win on Saturday.
There were 81 minutes on the clock and Barcelona led 2-0 when it became apparent there was a problem behind the south goal.
Players from both sides looked on in concern and Cadiz goalkeeper Conan Ledesma could be seen sprinting across the pitch with a defibrillator towards the incident.
Ansu Fati apologised to Cadiz for scoring just five minutes after a fan suffered a heart attack
Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo and his Cadiz counterpart Fali could be seen praying as the delay continued and it became clear that the situation had not been resolved.
The game was suspended for an hour and Cadiz president Manuel Vizcaino told Spanish radio that the fan had been successfully resuscitated and taken to hospital.
Fati scored just five minutes after the restart as he guided the ball into an empty net, having been teed up by Robert Lewandowski.
The Spain international refused to celebrate and he put his palms together to gesture an apology to the home supporters.
Barcelona's LaLiga clash with Cadiz was halted after a medical emergency in the crowd
Ousmane Dembele struck in the second minute of injury-time to cap off a strong performance which maintained Barcelona's unbeaten start to the season.
Earlier on, it was Frenkie de Jong who gave Xavi's side the lead before Lewandowski doubled it with his sixth Laliga goal after 66 minutes.
Speaking after the game, Xavi was asked about the incident. He said: 'It was not a nice situation for anyone. Health and people's lives always come before anything else. Luckily they were able to revive the person and they are healthy and safe.
Cadiz goalkeeper Conan Ledesma rushed across the pitch carrying medical equipment
'We felt, both teams, that it was right to restart the game. We hope the supporter recovers quickly. If it had gone another way, we would have suspended the match.'
The win against Cadiz means Barcelona stay third in the table, two points behind Real Madrid, who thrashed Mallorca 4-1 on Sunday.
Up next for the Catalonian side is Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

'Let's go Tom Brady!': Gisele Bundchen attempts to dampen divorce rumors by backing her man on social media ahead of his NFL season opener... but there's no sign of her at the game amid her 'fury' at QB's decision to unretire
- Rumors have been swirling about Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's marriage
- Gisele was reportedly furious at Brady's decision to U-turn on his retirement
- Ahead of the first game of the season on Sunday, Gisele tweeted her support
- She did not appear to be at the game, but said 'Let's go Tom Brady' on Twitter
Gisele Bundchen has attempted to pour cold water on reports of her marital issues with husband Tom Brady by backing him on social media ahead of his season-opening game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rumors of the pair's ongoing problems have been all over the news in recent weeks, with the model reportedly furious at Brady's decision to U-turn on his NFL retirement.
While Bundchen was not seen at the stadium in Arlington, Texas for the game itself, she took to Twitter immediately before kickoff to post: 'Let's go Tom Brady! Let's go Bucs'.
Tom Brady watches on ahead of the first game of his 23rd NFL season on Sunday night
His wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, was reportedly furious at his decision to un-retire
But Gisele poured cold water on divorce rumors by posting 'Let's go Tom Brady!' on Twitter
A fan at the stadium in Arlington, Texas holds up a banner supporting Brady and the Bucs
Her - and Brady's - fans were quick to respond to the message in their droves, with one writing: 'Please don’t divorce him over football,' and another adding: 'Last season. I promise. Probably.'
In the offseason, the Bucs quarterback returned to the team just 40 days after announcing his retirement from the sport at the age of 44. He has since turned 45, and is beginning his 23rd season on Sunday night.
That said, even before his first ball is thrown, NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed those close to Brady think there is a finality about 2022.
'He has never said it publicly, but multiple parties involved acknowledge that after last year's retirement then unretirement, the end is coming,' Rapoport said.
'That is the understanding, that this is the final year.'
If that is true, it will come as music to Gisele's ears, with the supermodel, 42, reportedly less than pleased about her husband's U-turn, according to a source quoted in US Weekly.
'Gisele was not happy when Tom un-retired from the NFL after such a short time,' according to the insider. 'There is tension between them.'
Brady reacts against the Dallas Cowboys - amid reports that this really will be his final season
Gisele supported the decision, but a source told US Weekly she is unpleased with it
The source continued: 'They’re working through things and trying to come out the other side.'
The seven-time Super Bowl winner was excused from pre-season training in August to handle some 'personal things.
'It’s all personal, you know,' the MVP replied when asked about his absence August 27. 'Everyone’s got different situations that they’re dealing with.
'We all have really unique challenges to our life. I’m 45 years old, man. There’s a lot of s**t going on, so just gotta figure out life the best you can. It’s a continuous process.'
The father of three, shares Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, nine with Gisele. His oldest son, Jack, 15, is from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynihan.
The decision to return to play has reportedly resulted in tension between the married couple
In May, Bundchen explained why raising children with the professional athlete is not the 'fairy tale' most people imagine it would be

Latest: Venture capital arms under 2 leading Thai banks, Kasikornbank PCL (SET: KBANK) and Bank of Ayudhya PCL (SET: BAY) participate in the funding round to support the innovation of Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
BANGKOK, Sept. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Forward, a Thai digital asset and blockchain startup focusing on protocol development for decentralized derivative exchange and DeFi platform, has successfully closed its USD 5 million seed round within just 6 months of fundraising, despite severe economic uncertainty and high volatility in the digital asset landscape.
The round was led by RPVAF-1, a global VC fund under Primestreet Capital, with participation from
- Beacon Venture Capital from Kasikornbank;
- KASIKORN X from Kasikornbank;
- Krungsri Finnovate from Bank of Ayudhya, a member of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG); and together with Ratanakorn Technology Group, GBV Capital and Varys Capital who have confirmed their investments earlier in this round.
Chanon Charatsuttikul, Co-founder and CEO of Forward, revealed that Forward is the world's first DeFi project to receive investments from global funds and two major Thai banks. "I believe that there is hope for Thailand to become a center of innovation and technology. We have investors who are ready to support new talents. The closing of this seed round, for me, is the beginning of a big challenge for the team to maximize our potential and grow the organization, and help make Thailand stand out as a country of innovation, just like western countries.
"The majority of trading volume occurs at Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, and it mainly comes from derivative products. The trading volume of derivative products is approximately 3 times larger than the spot volume and it is still growing. Thus, Forward is focusing on developing a decentralized derivative platform, which is non-custodial with a system that prohibits transactions from sanctioned countries and addresses. We have a strong team backed by PhDs working day and night to develop a newly invented protocol, called the Automated Position Hedger (APH), which is unlike anything seen before. In addition, we always take it very seriously in terms of legal issues, accounting standards, and the safety of the investors' assets," Chanon added.
Asst. Prof. Dr. Udomsak Rakwongwan, Co-founder and Advisor, added that "We aim to develop Forward to be a 'One Stop Service' protocol, solving limitation and pain points in DeFi economy. It will be a secure and easy-to-use platform where users can earn sustainable investment returns. This means that the return generated to investors is a result of a solid and sustainable business model that was carefully designed for long-term operation. Our user-friendly interface will reduce the barrier to onboard new users to the blockchain space. For every single line of our coding, smart contract technical auditing is required and it will be performed by at least 2 trusted auditors."
Supavat Nam Cholvanich, Co-founder and Partner of PrimeStreet Capital, the lead investor of this round, said: "With our finance background, we have a good interest in financial-related blockchain technology. Digital asset is a high volatility landscape, and we highly emphasize the importance of safety and sustainability of the protocol. Our team focus deeply on the tightness of all operating logic and, at the same time, look for a platform with meaningful enhanced features that has the potential to stand out and elevate DeFi ecosystem. We believe Forward is well set up and its DeFi platform should easily navigate through market volatility and grow sustainably in the digital asset world."
About Forward
Forward is a digital asset and blockchain startup, founded by a group of developers and tech researchers. The founders' prior success was the launch of a well-known regulated crypto exchange in Thailand. Forward is currently developing a newly invented protocol for decentralized derivative trading, where short and long positions are matched against each other using an advanced protocol named Automated Position Hedger (APH). Forward DDEX acts as a counterparty to instantly match users' long and short perpetual Futures orders. As a result, Forward does not have limit order books and does not require market makers. The risk of the platform acting as a users' counter-party is completely hedged using the tokens in the lending and borrowing pools.

A powerful new form of artificial intelligence has burst onto the scene and captured the public’s imagination in recent months: text-to-image AI.
Text-to-image AI models generate original images based solely on simple written inputs. Users can input any text prompt they like—say, “a cute corgi lives in a house made out of sushi”—and, as if by magic, the AI will produce a corresponding image. (See above for this example; scroll down for some more.)
These models produce images that have never existed in the world nor in anyone’s imagination. They are not simple manipulations of existing images on the Internet; they are novel creations, breathtaking in their originality and sophistication.
The most well-known text-to-image model is OpenAI’s DALL-E. OpenAI debuted the original DALL-E model in January 2021. DALL-E 2, its successor, was announced in April 2022. DALL-E 2 has attracted widespread public attention, catapulting text-to-image technology into the mainstream.
In the wake of the excitement around DALL-E 2, it hasn’t taken long for competitors to emerge. Within weeks, a lightweight open-source version dubbed “DALL-E Mini” went viral. Unaffiliated with OpenAI or DALL-E, DALL-E Mini has since been rebranded as Craiyon following pressure from OpenAI.
In May, Google published its own text-to-image model, named Imagen. (All the images included in this article come from Imagen.)
Soon thereafter, a startup named Midjourney emerged with a powerful text-to-image model that it has made available for public use. Midjourney has seen astonishing user growth: launched only two months ago, the service has over 1.8 million users in its Discord group as of this writing. Midjourney has recently been featured on the cover of The Economist and on John Oliver’s late-night TV show.
Another key entrant in this category is Stability.ai, the startup behind the Stable Diffusion model. Unlike any other competitor, Stability.ai has publicly released all the details of its AI model, publishing the model’s weights online for anyone to access and use. This means that, unlike DALL-E or Midjourney, there are no filters or limitations on what Stable Diffusion can be used to generate—including violent, pornographic, racist, or otherwise harmful content.
Stability.ai’s completely unrestricted release strategy has been controversial. On the other hand, the company’s unapologetically open ethos is helping it build a strong community of developers and users around its platform, which may prove to be a valuable competitive advantage.
There is much to be said about the groundbreaking technology that underlies today’s generative AI, but one key innovation in particular is worth briefly highlighting: diffusion models. Originally inspired by concepts from thermodynamics, diffusion models have seen a surge of popularity over the past year, rapidly displacing generative artificial networks (GANs) as the go-to method for AI-based image generation. DALL-E 2, Imagen, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion all use diffusion models.
In a nutshell, diffusion models learn by corrupting their training data with incrementally added noise and then figuring out how to reverse this noising process to recover the original image. Once trained, diffusion models can then apply these denoising methods to synthesize novel “clean” data from random input.
Stepping back, what are we to make of all the recent activity and buzz in this space? Where will things go from here? Below are four hot takes that aim to cut through the noise and give you novel perspectives on the wild new world of generative AI.
(Before reading any further: take a few moments to experiment with these AI models for yourself if you haven’t already. There is no substitute for trying them out first-hand. They are free of charge and dead simple to use, requiring nothing but a quick sign-up. Go here to try Stable Diffusion and go here to try Midjourney.)
1. A lot of venture capital is going to flow into this category over the next twelve months.
A narrative has begun to percolate through the world of venture capital that generative AI is “the next big thing.” There is no question that the technology is extraordinary; time will tell whether and how it will serve as the foundation for massive, enduring businesses.
Regardless, expect a flurry of venture investment in the space in the near term as investors seek to ride this wave.
The opening salvo here came last week, with reports that Stability.ai is raising a whopping $100 million at a valuation of up to $1 billion from blue-chip investors like Lightspeed and Coatue.
This will not be the last mega-deal in this category. Midjourney, for example, is likely fielding a flood of inbound investor interest at the moment. Midjourney has been self-funded to this point by founder David Holz (former Leap Motion CTO/cofounder)—but don’t be surprised if the company soon decides to fill its coffers with venture capital dollars in order to compete and scale in this increasingly fast-moving ecosystem.
Many new text-to-image startups will emerge in the months ahead, with different visions and approaches to commercializing this powerful new technology. Even in today’s adverse market conditions, venture capitalists will eagerly fund many of them. Which leads us to our next point.....
2. The biggest business opportunities and best business models for this technology have yet to be discovered.
The primary use case that has driven adoption of text-to-image AI to date has been sheer novelty and curiosity on the part of individual users. And no wonder—as anyone who has played around with one of these models can attest, it is an exhilarating and engaging experience, especially at first.
But over the longer term, casual use by individual hobbyists is not by itself likely to sustain massive new businesses.
What use cases will unleash vast enterprise value creation and present the most compelling business opportunities for this technology? Put simply, what are the “killer apps” for text-to-image AI?
One application that immediately comes to mind is advertising. Advertising is visual in nature, making it a natural fit for these generative AI models. And after all, advertising powers the business models of technology giants like Alphabet and Facebook, among the most successful businesses in history.
Some brands, for instance Kraft Heinz, have already begun experimenting with AI models like DALL-E 2 to produce new advertising content. No doubt we will see a lot more of this. But—to be frank—let us all hope that we find more meaningful use cases for this incredible new technology than simply more advertising.
Taking a step back, consider that these AI models make it possible to generate and iterate upon any visual content quickly, affordably, and imaginatively, without the need for any special expertise or training. When we frame the scope of the technology this broadly, it becomes more evident that all sorts of transformative, disruptive business opportunities should emerge.
Perhaps the most intuitive use case for this technology is to create art. The global market size for fine art is $65 billion. Even setting aside this high end of the market, there are numerous more quotidian uses for art to which text-to-image AI could be profitably applied: book covers, magazine covers, postcards, posters, music album designs, wallpaper, digital media, and so on.
Take stock images as an example. Stock imagery may seem like a relatively niche market, but by itself it represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity, with publicly traded competitors including Getty Images and Shutterstock. These businesses face existential disruption from generative AI.
Longer term, the design (and thus production) of any physical product—cars, furniture, clothes—could be transformed as generative AI models are used to dream up novel features and designs that captive consumers.
Relatedly, text-to-image AI may influence architecture and building design by “proposing” unique, unexpected new structures and layouts that in turn inspire human architects. Initial work along these lines is already being pursued today.
Alongside the question of killer applications is the related but distinct topic of how the competitive landscape in this category will evolve, and in turn which product and go-to-market strategies will prove most effective.
Early movers like OpenAI and Midjourney have positioned themselves as horizontal, sector-agnostic providers of the core AI technology. They have built general-purpose text-to-image models, made them available to customers via API (with pricing on a pay-per-use basis), and left it to users to discover their own use cases.
Will one or more horizontal players achieve massive scale by offering a foundational text-to-image platform on top of which an entire ecosystem of diverse applications is built? If so, will it be winner-take-all? As the technology eventually becomes commoditized, what would the long-term moats for such a business be?
Or as the sector matures and different use cases come into focus, will there be more value in building purpose-built, specialized solutions for particular applications?
One could imagine, say, a text-to-image solution built specifically for the auto industry for the design of new vehicle models. In addition to the AI model itself being fine-tuned on training data for this particular use case, such a solution might include a full SaaS product suite and a well-developed user interface built to integrate seamlessly into car designers’ overall workflows.
Another key strategic issue concerns the core AI models themselves. Can these models serve as a sustainable source of defensibility for companies, or will they quickly become commoditized? Recall that Stable Diffusion, one of today’s leading text-to-image models, has already been fully open-sourced, with all of its weights freely available online. How often and under what conditions will it make sense for a new startup to train its own proprietary text-to-image models internally, as opposed to leveraging what has already been built from the open-source community or from another company?
We cannot yet know the answer to any of these questions with certainty. The only thing we can be sure of is that this field will develop in surprising, unexpected ways in the months and years ahead. Part of the magic of new technology is that it unlocks previously unimaginable possibilities. When dial-up internet first became available, who predicted YouTube? When the first smartphones debuted, who saw Uber coming?
It is entrepreneurs who will ultimately answer these questions by envisioning and building the future themselves.
3. Text-to-image AI will unleash a hornet’s nest of copyright, legal, and ethical issues. Don’t expect these to slow the technology down.
Any new technology that offers to profoundly shake up the status quo will generate frictions and challenges with existing societal norms and policy frameworks. Generative AI is no exception.
There are a number of big-picture issues that this technology raises: the ever-present topic of AI-driven job displacement, the looming threat of deepfakes that these models intensify, the philosophical question of what constitutes true art and whether AI can ever create it. There are no easy answers to these questions, and the public discourse about them will continue for years.
There is one near-term issue that is worth briefly touching on here: the question of who owns and has the right to commercialize the images that these models produce.
Can the person who came up with a text prompt and fed it into an AI model take the resulting image and do whatever he or she likes with it (including in a commercial setting)? Or does the organization that built the AI model retain rights to all media that the model produces? What if the AI model is open source?
Complicating things further, consider the fact that the way companies like Google and OpenAI create these models in the first place is by training them on vast troves of publicly available images that those companies do not own, including the work of countless other artists, designers and organizations.
These questions are not just theoretical; they will have very real and immediate business consequences. Whether and how these issues are resolved will have a significant impact on the strategies and opportunities available to companies working with this technology. Entrepreneurs and investors need to pay attention.
“If DALL-E is adopted in the way I think [OpenAI] envisions it, there’s going to be a lot of revenue generated by the use of the tool,” said Bradford Newman, an AI-focused lawyer at law firm Baker & McKenzie. “And when you have a lot of players in the market and issues at stake, you have a high chance of litigation.”
OpenAI’s currently stated policy is that DALL-E’s individual users get full rights to commercialize the images that they create with the model—including the right to reprint, sell, or merchandise the images—but that OpenAI retains ultimate ownership over the original images. Midjourney’s terms of service say something similar.
But when high-stakes disputes involving these images inevitably get litigated, will courts see it this way? This is uncharted territory; no direct legal precedent exists.
Jim Flynn, senior partner at law firm Epstein Becker & Green, provided a concrete example that illustrates the dynamics at play: “If I were representing one of the advertising agencies, or the clients of the advertising agencies, I wouldn’t advise them to use this software to create a campaign, because I do think the AI provider would [currently] have some claims to the intellectual property. I’d be looking to negotiate something more definitive.”
Ultimately, these issues should be seen not as showstoppers for the technology but rather as unresolved points that will be in play as this nascent industry barrels ahead at full speed. Make no mistake: legal ambiguity will not deter entrepreneurs and technologists from pushing forward the state of the art in this field and from building businesses that bring this technology to the masses.
An OpenAI spokesperson summed it up well: “Copyright law has adapted to new technology in the past and will need to do the same with AI-generated content.”
4. This technology is going to get much more mind-blowing—quickly.
As impressive as today’s text-to-image models are, we are still in the earliest innings of the proliferation of generative AI. Text-to-image is just the beginning.
The most natural next step will be text-to-video AI models: generative models that can take in a text description and produce not just a static image but a video of specified length.
Needless to say, text-to-video is a significantly more complex technical challenge than text-to-image. For one thing, it requires vastly greater computing resources; for another, well-annotated video training data is scarce.
But the opportunity here is tremendous. From TikTok to Netflix, video has become the dominant medium for our digital lives. According to Cisco, over 80% of all data on the internet today is video. The ability to easily and cheaply generate new video content on demand will be transformative, from entertainment to social media to marketing and beyond.
The most promising academic research on this topic is CogVideo, a large-scale text-to-video model published in May 2022. Just two days ago, video AI startup Runway announced the upcoming release of text-to-video tools on its platform, which it said are “coming soon.” Runway appears to be collaborating with Stability.ai on this effort.
Another avenue for future innovation will be AI models that generate 3-D digital content (as opposed to the 2-D outputs from models like DALL-E). This technology will have enormous implications for areas including gaming, animated filmmaking and the metaverse.
One final tantalizing possibility: imagine pairing a generative AI model with a 3-D printer to enable text-to-real-world-object-generation. As one Twitter user colorfully described it: “literally conjuring objects from incantations.”
To be sure, this remains out of reach today. But the core technology building blocks to make something like this a reality are basically in place.
The future is going to be mind-blowing—and it’s going to be here sooner than you think.

Opinion
The Queen and I: why she made this republican’s whish list of dinner party guests
Anne Ring
Freelance writerTrue story: at our Cremorne Old Girls’ 80th birthday gathering, which I wrote about recently, we had fun sharing our thoughts on which three people we’d want at a dinner party. George Clooney was the man of the moment there, but when it came to my turn, I managed to resist him in favour of one of our old friends who was missing in action, Ronnie Kahn of OzHarvest – and whom, not being a monarchist, I proposed should be Australia’s first president.
And so, why on earth was my third choice Queen Elizabeth II? As I explained, with her reputation for wit (in no small measure backed up by her recent encounter with Paddington Bear), I felt that after a couple of glasses of a good wine, she could be a fount of incisive observations about her lived-in history. Who else had known so many British prime ministers and world leaders about whom we could get the first-hand low-down.
And, as a matter of fact, in my childhood I had been a committed royalist from the time I arrived in Australia at the age of seven (from China, where I’d been born of Hungarian parents, but that’s a whole other story), and found that my newfound friends all had scrapbooks bulging with photographs of the British royals. In no time, thanks to The Australian Women’s Weekly and the other magazines featuring the young Princess Elizabeth and her family, I too had scrapbooks growing like Topsy.
For me, too, like so many excited school children around Australia, 1954 brought the thrill of coming face to face with her. As part of her visit, she had come all the way across the Blue Mountains, and in her open car she went past our assembled classes in Lithgow Oval, slowly enough for me to capture her with my box camera. That was a treasured photograph until I managed to lose it during one of our many moves.
Over the years, I became less of a royalist. And, unrelatedly, the magazines that had portrayed the royals with worshipful adoration gradually changed their tone to suit the times. And the times were seeking to turn the members of Britain’s royal family into just another bunch of celebrities whose lives and – hopefully – peccadilloes were rated on the basis of how many issues could be sold on the backs of ever more salacious and critical stories.
Their nadir seemed to be reached with the fatal results of paparazzi in pursuit of Princess Diana in Paris. But over the years, as memories of that faded, new victims have been found. The most popular ones, now, are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. None of us can know the truth behind the sad schism that has caused this split in the royal family, but it’s not for want of the media’s trying, and of exacerbating it.
We can only imagine the distress that this had brought the Queen, while at the same time Prince Phillip died and – so – she had to soldier on without the love of her life, while also having to endure the painful reality of the actions of her reputedly favourite son, Prince Andrew.
In a way, it could be said, all of this made her more relatable to people who’ve had to endure losses and conflicts within their families. And the way she, nonetheless, bravely soldiered on, only enhanced her reputation, and made her something of a role model, as she continued working with dedication at her lifelong occupation until her last days.
Now that she has died, and her son, King Charles III has taken over the reins, I like to think that – among all that he has said in the day since she died – it is in homage to her that he has held out an olive branch to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

LICKING COUNTY, Ohio — President Biden on Friday celebrated the groundbreaking of a new Intel factory in Ohio to produce semiconductors, tying the major investment directly to a bipartisan bill he signed into law last month to fund the chips.
Biden visited Licking County, near Columbus, to join state and federal officials from both parties to tout the economic benefits of the $20 billion facility. Biden and business leaders on hand for the groundbreaking argued it was a sign of a shifting economy in the region.
“It’s time to bury the label ‘Rust Belt,’” Biden said, instead suggesting the area should be rebranded as the “Silicon Heartland.”
A senior White House official said the Intel facility is expected to create 7,000 construction jobs and 3,000 full-time jobs producing semiconductors, which are small computer chips used in numerous appliances, automobiles, computers and other products.
White House officials have warned for months that the U.S. was at risk of becoming dependent on semiconductors produced overseas, which would further stress the supply chain.
“We need to make these chips right here in America to bring down everyday costs and create good jobs,” Biden said in remarks at the site of the future production facility.
Biden last month signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act, which passed with bipartisan support and includes more than $50 billion in incentives for manufacturers to build domestic semiconductor plants. It also includes more than $80 billion for the National Science Foundation authorized over five years to support innovation and research.
Biden was joined Friday by both Republican and Democratic elected officials from Ohio, including Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), Rob Portman (R) and Gov. Mike DeWine (R). Biden recognized Portman, who is retiring at the end of his term in January, “for being a gentleman and showing Democrats and Republicans can work together.”
The race to replace Portman is between Rep. Tim Ryan (D) and Republican J.D. Vance, who has the backing of former President Trump. Ryan has tried to maintain distance from Biden as polls show the race to be closer than many expected.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Pittsburgh Steelers kept kicking the door open against the Cincinnati Bengals. It took until the final whistle to finally walk on through.
Chris Boswell kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired in overtime and the Steelers overcame T.J. Watt’s injury late in the fourth quarter to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in a sloppy season opener for both teams Sunday.
Watt and Fitzpatrick had two of four interceptions off Joe Burrow, who rebounded from a lousy start and rallied Cincinnati from a 17-6 halftime deficit. His 6-yard touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase tied it at 20 with 2 seconds left in regulation
Fitzpatrick kept the Steelers alive by blocking Evan McPherson’s point-after try, sending the game to overtime.
“It’s just good to come in here in a hostile environment, man, and not blink, particularly with a number of new guys, whether they’re rookies or new to us,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said.
McPherson and Boswell missed potential winning field goals in overtime before Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed passes of 9, 26 and 10 yards in the final 56 seconds.
“That was pretty crazy — the back-and-forth nature,” Trubisky said. “We found out a lot about this team. We battled, we stuck together. We have a lot to clean up, but we found a way in the end. Winning is fun.”
Watt, the Defensive Player of the Year, left the field and headed to the locker room shortly before the game went to overtime with a pectoral injury. Before that, he was his usual disruptive self, with a sack and a pick.
Burrow’s four interceptions were a career worst, and he was sacked seven times in front of what was supposed to be an improved offensive line.
“It’s frustrating,” Burrow said. “We came back in the second half. We finished strong. Give them credit. They had a good plan.”
Burrow didn’t play in the preseason games as he recovered from an appendectomy, and he got a rude welcome back to the field. Cam Heyward sacked him on Cincinnati’s first offensive play, and Fitzpatrick jumped Tyler Boyd’s route the next snap and returned it 31 yards for a Pick-6.
McPherson made a 59-yard field goal in the first quarter, but Watt made a leaping interception at the line on the next series. That set up Trubisky’s 2-yard TD pass to Najee Harris for a 17-3 edge.
Trubisky, the first quarterback to start for the Steelers after Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement, was 21 for 38 for 194 yards and the short TD pass to Harris as first-round pick Kenny Pickett watched from the sideline.
When asked about his offense, Tomlin said: “It was enough — we’re 1-0.”
The Bengals wasted a solid performance by the their defense, which limited the big plays and did a good job containing running back Harris, who finished with 23 yards on 10 carries before leaving late with a foot injury.
Chase had 10 catches for 129 yards for the Bengals.
JOE’S SLOW START
For much of the day, Burrow looked as if he was struggling to get back on track. He finished 33 for 53 for 338 yards and two touchdowns.
Asked if he was still trying to shake off the effects of his July surgery, he would only say, “I felt good.”
“We don’t overreact when things go well. We don’t overreact when things don’t go well,” Burrow said. “We’re even-keeled. We got into position to win the game.”
INJURIES
Steelers: CB Levi Wallace left in the second half with an ankle injury and didn’t return. … OL Mason Cole suffered an ankle injury in the second half and didn’t return. … Harris suffered a foot injury late in the game. … Tomlin said LB Robert Spillane suffered an eye injury.
Bengals: WR Tee Higgins left with a concussion from a hard hit by several Steelers. … LS Clark Harris went out with a biceps injury.
UP NEXT
Steelers: At New England next Sunday.
Bengals: At Dallas next Sunday.

Kendall Jenner could barely keep her hands off boyfriend Devin Booker after a dinner date this weekend.
On Aug. 27, the two were photographed leaving Catch Steak restaurant in West Hollywood. Kendall, 26, put her arm on the NBA star's shoulder as she walked behind him while they made their exit. After the two passed by fans and celebrity photographers, the two entered a waiting car, with Kendall getting in first.
The supermodel wore a cropped black, plunging halter top, matching leather pants and pink pointed, studded pumps for their date. Devin, 25, sported a Method Man T-shirt over a white sweatshirt, blue wide-legged jeans and sneakers.
Kendall and Devin went through a brief breakup earlier this summer, two years after they began dating. In July, a source close to the Kardashians star told E! News that Kendall and the Phoenix Suns star are "fully back together," adding, "They worked out their issues and decided they want to move forward and be together."
A few weeks ago, the couple vacationed together.
Earlier this month, the pair's relationship status was further clarified after Devin left a flirty comment on a bikini pic Kendall shared on Instagram.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Near final results in Sweden’s election Sunday show that a bloc of right-wing parties was expected to defeat a left-wing bloc headed by Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson. The conservative group includes a populist anti-immigration party that made its best ever showing.
However, the result was so close that the election authority said it would not be known before Wednesday when some uncounted votes, including those cast abroad, have been tallied.
According to the early count, Andersson’s ruling left-wing Social Democrats won 30.5% of the vote, more than any other party. However a bloc of four left-wing parties appeared to fall short as a whole of winning a majority of votes in the 349-seat parliament, or Riksdag.
Exit polls had initially predicted a narrow victory for Andersson’s camp but as the evening wore on, and the vote count supplanted the exit poll, the results tipped in favor of the conservatives.
Early Monday, the conservatives appeared to have 176 seats to 173 for the center-left.
In a speech to her supporters, Andersson said that while the results were unclear, it was obvious that the social democratic movement, which is based on ideals of creating an equal society and a strong welfare state, remains strong in Sweden.
The biggest winner of the evening was the populist anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, which had a strong showing of nearly 21%, its best result ever. The party gained on promises to crack down on shootings and other gang violence that have shaken a sense of security for many in Sweden.
The party has its roots in the white nationalist movement but years ago began expelling extremists. Despite its rebranding, voters long viewed it as unacceptable and other parties shunned it. But that has been changing, and its result in this election show just how far it come in gaining acceptance.
“We are now the second biggest party in Sweden and it looks it’s going to stay that way,” party leader Jimmie Akesson told his supporters.
“We know now that if there’s going to be a shift in power, we will be having a central role in that,” he said. “Our ambition is to be in the government.”
The conservative bloc was led during the campaign by the center-right Moderates, which won 19%. It was previously the country’s second largest party.
Moderates leader Ulf Kristersson told his supports that he stands ready to try to create a stable and effective government.
Regardless of the election outcome, Sweden is likely to face a lengthy process to form a government, as it did after the 2018 election.
Andersson, a 55-year-old economist, became Sweden’s first female prime minister less than a year ago and led Sweden’s historic bid to join NATO following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Bubba Wallace won his second career NASCAR Cup Series race Sunday and denied the playoff field an automatic spot in the next round for the second straight week when he held off championship contenders Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell to win at Kansas Speedway.
Wallace, who is not among the 16 in the title hunt, got around Alex Bowman for the lead with 67 laps to go, then built a 2-second lead over a parade of playoff drivers trying to earn a win and ensure their spot in the round of eight.
Hamlin was at the front of it. And the co-owner with Michael Jordan of Wallace’s car at 23XI Racing managed to whittle about a tenth of a second off the No. 45’s lead over the closing laps. Hamlin ultimately ran out of time, and Wallace took the checkered flag in the same car that Kurt Busch won with at Kansas earlier this year.
“I knew Denny was going to be strong,” said Wallace, who stepped into the car while Busch deals with the effects of a concussion. “It’s cool to beat the boss, but it’s just cool to be lights-out today and come away with the win.”
Busch wasted no time in tweeting his congratulations.
Bell finished third and Bowman fourth with playoff outsider Martin Truex Jr. in fifth. William Byron, Ross Chastain, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney and Daniel Suarez — all in the playoff hunt — rounded out the top 10.
Bell clinched a spot in the next round of the playoffs on points. The other 11 spots are up for grabs heading to Bristol.
Wallace also won during last year’s playoffs at Talladega, when he was likewise out of the title picture. And his win came after Erik Jones, who likewise missed out on the postseason, won a week ago at Darlington.
Wallace became the 18th driver to win this season.
“I was driving as hard as I could,” said Hamlin, who gave all he had to chase Wallace down. “Nothing will ever come free when you’re driving for me. If you think I’m going to let you win, you better find another team.”
Kevin Harvick spent the week ruing an inferno that ruined his playoff opener, and led to plenty of discussion of safety in the Next Gen car. But it was the aerodynamics of the car that ruined Sunday and left his playoff hopes in peril.
The trouble began when Harvick was caught four-wide shortly after a Lap 25 competition caution. Ross Chastain drifted in front of him, took the air off Harvick’s nose and instantly made him loose. The three-time Kansas winner touched the wall out of Turn 4, then hit hard again across the start-finish line, leaving him with heavy damage to the right side.
It’s the first time in a Cup career spanning 782 races that Harvick has failed to finish three straight races.
“It is what it is,” Harvick said. “We were racing to win anyway today, so that’s what we will do again next week.”
Tyler Reddick’s brilliant weekend, which included his first pole on an oval, likewise ended in the first stage when his right rear went down. That sent his No. 8 sliding into the wall, breaking the upper control arm in the right front.
“We leave here with not a lot of points,” Reddick said, “so we’re going to fight hard at Bristol.”
Stage 2 was just as frustrating to playoff hopefuls. Many had problems on pit road, including Kyle Busch, who not only had a penalty for an uncontrolled tire but later spun into the grass and went a lap down. Busch finished 26th and fell below the playoff cutline along with Harvick, Chase Briscoe and Austin Dillon.
Busch trails Reddick and Austin Cindric by two points heading to Bristol. Dillon is another point back.
ODDS AND ENDS
JTG Daugherty Racing learned that longtime team member JR Hollar died early Sunday. He was 57. The cause was not disclosed. … Ricky Stenhouse Jr. also had a right rear tire go down while running near the front, then Harrison Burton and Corey LaJoie wrecked on the restart.
UP NEXT
The final race in the round is Saturday night on the concrete at Bristol, where Busch won the Cup race on dirt in April.

Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A’ja Wilson remembers what it was like being swept in the WNBA Finals two years ago, and didn’t like it.
Sunday, she made sure neither she nor her teammates would feel like that this season.
Wilson had 24 points and 11 rebounds and the Las Vegas Aces beat the Connecticut Sun 67-64 on Sunday in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals.
“In the bubble, we were just happy to be there; and also happy to leave,” Wilson said. “Now in the moment, it’s like okay, we know that feeling. It sucks getting swept, it’s the worst thing ever. That’s the chip on your shoulder, that’s the fire, that’s the grind that you want to say, ‘I don’t wanna get swept anymore. I don’t wanna even have gentleman’s sweep.’
“You wanna go out there and play for your teammates because you felt the way that you felt in 2020 – and you hate it.”
The Aces staved off a late run by the Sun, who nearly erased a seven-point deficit with 1:24 left when Alyssa Thomas hit back-to-back shots to pull Connecticut within three. But DeWanna Bonner’s desperation 3-point attempt to tie the game fell short as time expired.
Chelsea Gray finished with 21 points for Las Vegas, while Jackie Young chipped in 11 as the franchise won their first WNBA Finals game in franchise history. They were also swept in 2008 when the team was in San Antonio.
After squandering a first-quarter lead, and allowing the Sun to control the second and carry momentum in the third, the Aces outscored Connecticut 13-3 to close the third quarter and seize momentum for the final period before a frenzied record sold out gathering of 10,135.
Thomas led Connecticut with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Jonquel Jones added 15 points, Brionna Jones came off the bench to score 12 and Natasha Hiedeman contributed with 10.
Saturday during Media Day, Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon said she was unsure if she was ready to let Dearica Hamby put her physical game to play after missing the final month of the regular season with a knee injury, missing the first round of the playoffs, and then being used sparingly in the final two games of the semifinals.
But when Hamby came off the bench with 4:33 left in the third quarter, the two-time Sixth Woman of the Year provided an immediate spark for the Aces.
“She was phenomenal, she was ready to go,” Hammon said. “I just got to the point where I was like, my biggest, baddest beast is sitting over there. I’ve just got to throw her in. They want to play a rough game – she’s my girl.”
And Hamby delivered, grabbed three rebounds – two key boards on the offensive end – a put back under the basket, two assists and a steal.
With Hamby in the game, the Aces clawed their way back to turn a six-point point deficit into a two-point lead heading into the final period.
“I just want to do whatever it takes to win. If that means play zero minutes, if that means play 10 minutes and play as hard as I can, I want to do that,” said Hamby, who was in for 10:47. “I thought I could screen well and just put a body on (Thomas) a little bit more, just be aggressive physically. I felt like we were kind of missing that, just to bring physicality.
“I enjoy that kind of style of basketball. I think the crowd, to come back and to feel so loved and know I was kind of missed, I think that gave me a little bit more motivation.”
The Aces set the tone early, hitting 56.3% (9 of 16) of their shots and took a 25-17 lead after one quarter. The Sun wasted no time in getting back into the game, scoring the first six points of the second and outscored Las Vegas 21-9 to take a four-point lead into halftime.
“In the second half of that third quarter, they started to make some difficult shots and we could not find any kind of offensive rhythm, and missed some shots we were certainly capable of, forced some shots, and got stagnated by their defense,” Sun coach Curt Miller said.
COURTSIDE CLUB
In attendance for Game 1 included Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore, Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, free agent DeMarcus Cousins and Los Angeles Clippers coach Ty Lue.
EXHIBITION, EH?
Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced during her pregame press conference that the WNBA will hold a preseason exhibition game in Canada next year with hopes of continuing global exposure for the league. This will be the first time since 2011 that the WNBA has played an international game.
UP NEXT
The teams will play Game 2 in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Opinion
The Queen and I: why she made this republican’s whish list of dinner party guests
Anne Ring
Freelance writerTrue story: at our Cremorne Old Girls’ 80th birthday gathering, which I wrote about recently, we had fun sharing our thoughts on which three people we’d want at a dinner party. George Clooney was the man of the moment there, but when it came to my turn, I managed to resist him in favour of one of our old friends who was missing in action, Ronnie Kahn of OzHarvest – and whom, not being a monarchist, I proposed should be Australia’s first president.
And so, why on earth was my third choice Queen Elizabeth II? As I explained, with her reputation for wit (in no small measure backed up by her recent encounter with Paddington Bear), I felt that after a couple of glasses of a good wine, she could be a fount of incisive observations about her lived-in history. Who else had known so many British prime ministers and world leaders about whom we could get the first-hand low-down.
And, as a matter of fact, in my childhood I had been a committed royalist from the time I arrived in Australia at the age of seven (from China, where I’d been born of Hungarian parents, but that’s a whole other story), and found that my newfound friends all had scrapbooks bulging with photographs of the British royals. In no time, thanks to The Australian Women’s Weekly and the other magazines featuring the young Princess Elizabeth and her family, I too had scrapbooks growing like Topsy.
For me, too, like so many excited school children around Australia, 1954 brought the thrill of coming face to face with her. As part of her visit, she had come all the way across the Blue Mountains, and in her open car she went past our assembled classes in Lithgow Oval, slowly enough for me to capture her with my box camera. That was a treasured photograph until I managed to lose it during one of our many moves.
Over the years, I became less of a royalist. And, unrelatedly, the magazines that had portrayed the royals with worshipful adoration gradually changed their tone to suit the times. And the times were seeking to turn the members of Britain’s royal family into just another bunch of celebrities whose lives and – hopefully – peccadilloes were rated on the basis of how many issues could be sold on the backs of ever more salacious and critical stories.
Their nadir seemed to be reached with the fatal results of paparazzi in pursuit of Princess Diana in Paris. But over the years, as memories of that faded, new victims have been found. The most popular ones, now, are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. None of us can know the truth behind the sad schism that has caused this split in the royal family, but it’s not for want of the media’s trying, and of exacerbating it.
We can only imagine the distress that this had brought the Queen, while at the same time Prince Phillip died and – so – she had to soldier on without the love of her life, while also having to endure the painful reality of the actions of her reputedly favourite son, Prince Andrew.
In a way, it could be said, all of this made her more relatable to people who’ve had to endure losses and conflicts within their families. And the way she, nonetheless, bravely soldiered on, only enhanced her reputation, and made her something of a role model, as she continued working with dedication at her lifelong occupation until her last days.
Now that she has died, and her son, King Charles III has taken over the reins, I like to think that – among all that he has said in the day since she died – it is in homage to her that he has held out an olive branch to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Birmingham nonprofit encouraging youth to join extracurriculars
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - With youth violent crime rising, the City of Birmingham is desperate to find ways to help re-inspire young men and women.
Today’s youth have plenty of stressors with more technology and social media than ever before. The founder of a nonprofit says they need a positive outlet to help keep them on the right path.
“Right now, if you’re not getting your kids involved in some type of extracurricular activities, the internet is gonna be their influence,” said Leaveil Binion.
He is the founder of Cultivate 4 or C4 Mentoring, a program for middle and high schoolers, created to inspire, empower and encourage young men to discover their purpose.
Binion says while technology can be great tool for educational purposes, young people can get caught up in the negativity of it.
“They need to be around as many positive influences as possible and I think monopolizing their time with sports, things of that nature -- it’s been a huge help with me and my kids,” he added.
He says they are involved with different sports, arts, and clubs. Extracurriculars are huge in keeping the youth on the right path.
“I think that is one of the key elements to try and deter your kid away from any of the nonsense,” said Binion. “Try to find something that they’re interested in and that’s what we do at C4. We talk to the boys about thing they are interested in and our goal is a progression. It goes from interest to passion to purpose.”
Binion is also calling on parents to be present, like getting involved in PTA or showing up for the different activities and programs. He says the young men and women need to feel supported while pursuing their passions and interests.

Heritage Gathering to celebrate Michigan's connections to the Underground Railroad
Michigan has a rich history with the Underground Railroad and that background will be celebrated this month, said Amanda Campbell, the chair of the Michigan Freedom Trail Commission.
She aims to celebrate that legacy this month during the fifth annual Heritage Gathering.
After nationwide success with virtual programs in the past few years, the commission decided to keep their hybrid approach and have both in-person and virtual events, Campbell said.
The main event is an all-day, in-person conference Sept. 17 at the Michigan History Center in Lansing. The in-person conference costs $12 and includes lunch.
After that, on Sept. 22, Leslie Williams and James Faris will speak about their ancestors' experience with the Underground Railroad.
Speakers at the in-person conference include Anna-Lisa Cox, a fellow at Harvard University's Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, and two descendants of Black farmers who were a part of the Underground Railroad.
There are a lot of aspects to the Underground Railroad, Campbell said, from heritage tours, genealogy and academics.
"History is not static, it's not a one and done," Campbell said. "You learn more as people dive deeper."
Michigan's legacy: Detroit, Michigan played key roles in ending slavery. Here's how
Historic site: Birmingham cemetery where abolitionist, former slave buried gets national historic designation
Michigan's location, natural resources and already existing abolitionist population made it "the hotbed of the Underground Railroad that it is," Campbell said.
Campbell said she often talks to people who have no idea about Michigan's history with the underground railroad. She wants to make it general knowledge.
The main corridor of the Underground Railroad in the state was Detroit because it's so close to Canada, Campbell said. But there also was a strong presence in southwest Michigan and across the Interstate 94 corridor.
New research has focused largely on the role the Great Lakes played, as well as newly discovered links to the railroad, Campbell said.
"I know we have a lot of space to bring this history into the mainstream," Campbell said. "The Underground Railroad is a cornerstone of civil rights, of the pursuit of civil rights. People were resisting enslavement and challenging the institution of slavery."
Campbell said she wants to bring people from all walks of life together to explore the history and legacy of the Underground Railroad in Michigan.
"I think there's something for everyone," Campbell said. "It's a history that serves everyone. I think it's a history that is relevant even today."

SINGAPORE, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MVNOs on Plintron MVNA / MVNE platform can offer differentiated services using 5G like; Ultra HD 4K to 8K video streaming, Augmented Reality /Virtual Reality based media and 360-degree immersive media experience. Hence e-learning, Telemedicine consultation, Video-conferencing, Real-time IoT application-based services can be offered.
Subhashree Radhakrishnan, Vice Chairman and Co-Founder, Plintron Group said, "The Plintron MVNA/ MVNE platform supports 5G NSA Option 3 to step into 5G compliance. This will enable MVNOs on our platform to offer differentiated services and applications."
The Plintron 5G services is live with several MVNOs in USA and in 4 European countries with more to follow soon in its worldwide network. The Plintron MVNA / MVNE platform has 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) deployed on its platform commercially since January 2021 to meet the immediate 5G technology requirements of its MVNO customers. The Plintron platform supports extended AMBR DL which supports speeds higher than 4.2 Gbps like 10 Gbps.
Plintron has deployed 5G NSA initially, as most of the initial 5G rollouts by Mobile Network Operators (MNO) have been NSA deployments. For MNOs that are looking to deliver mainly high-speed connectivity to consumers with 5G-enabled devices, NSA is most appropriate, as it allows them to leverage their existing 4G LTE network investments in transport and mobile core and reduce capital costs of deploying an end-to-end complete 5G network.
In 5G NSA, the existing 4G-LTE network is used for everything except the 5G data plane, which is based on 3GPP Release 15 version of 5G NR. Hence it is the best solution for MNOs looking to deliver quickly better data speeds via Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) or handle urgent LTE congestion issues.
Plintron looks forward to continue adopting new technologies and innovating to support its MVNO customers and partners in the future as well.

Stan announces exciting new dating series Love Triangle from the producers of Married At First Sight
Stan announced a brand new dating series from the producers of Married At First Sight on Monday.
Love Triangle follows a group of singles who are challenged to think outside the box and chose a mate who may not be their ideal 'perfect partner'.
And there is a twist.
Stan announces exciting new dating series Love Triangle from the producers of Married At First Sigh
Participants are allowed to text and call their potential matches as they get to know each other, but they, along with the viewers, won’t discover what the other looks like until they make their choice and go on a blind date.
The newly-formed couples are then forced to move in together before another mind-blowing twist rocks them to their core.
The first two episodes of the brand new eight-part dating series will premiere 6 October, with new episodes to follow every Thursday weekly, only on Stan.
'Love Triangle represents a thrilling new step for Stan as we continue to ramp up our Stan Originals output, leveraging the proven pedigree of the 9Network and the extraordinary makers of Married at First Sight to deliver a sensational new dating format. This is going to be an unmissable reality television event,' Stan Chief Content Officer Cailah Scobie said.
The Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle is produced by Endemol Shine Australia in conjunction with the 9Network.
'We are incredibly proud to produce the addictive new relationship series, for Stan,' Endemol Shine Australia Chief Executive Officer Peter Newman said.
'Tackling the difficulties of modern dating, the series features incredible characters on the journey to find long lasting love but with a mind-blowing mid-season twist. All we can say is, remember that a triangle has three sides!'
Married At First Sight has been a ratings smash hit for Nine for almost 10 years.
This year the finale drew a metro audience of 1,106,000 viewers, making it the most-watched entertainment program of the night.
The show's national average audience was 1.447 million, taking into account the 340,000 people who tuned in across regional Australia.
The Married At First Sight commitment ceremony easily beat the season finale of The Amazing Race Australia on Channel 10.

Following their most potent offensive performance of the season, the Boston Red Sox will aim for a weekend series win while concluding a six-game trip on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles.
While the first four games of the trip — three vs. Tampa Bay and Friday’s series opener in Baltimore — didn’t go their way, the Red Sox bounced back for a 17-4 Saturday win in which they set season-high marks in runs and hits (21).
Rafael Devers set the tone with a first-inning grand slam as eight Red Sox finished with multiple hits. Christian Arroyo had two, including a home run in the fifth inning, in addition to driving in three runs.
“(Orioles starter Jordan Lyles) has been consistent all year, so to get on him early was huge,” Arroyo told NESN. “(Camden Yards is) definitely a bigger ballpark and plays completely different now, but I was just trying to see a pitch over the plate and put a good swing on it.”
The Red Sox (68-72) had scored nine runs in their previous four games, all losses. Baltimore (73-66) has lost five of its last seven.
“When we do our thing, when we are disciplined, we are that team,” manager Alex Cora said. “But we haven’t been consistent. … There are days like that when we’re really good.”
Outfielder Tommy Pham is considered day-to-day after leaving Saturday’s game with a left-shin contusion.
Boston will send Rich Hill (6-6, 4.79 ERA) to the mound on Sunday after he gave up five runs on nine hits in four innings in a loss at Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
“I take a lot of pride in going out there and putting us in a position to win, and I didn’t do that (on Tuesday),” Hill said. “So it’s tough. This one hurts a lot.”
Hill will look to bounce back against a squad he has handled well. He is 3-1 with a 3.15 ERA in 17 career appearances against Baltimore.
The southpaw’s first and only career loss to the Orioles came in his May 30 start in Boston, but he has allowed just one run on three hits in 10 innings over his last two starts at Camden Yards.
Orioles rookie right-hander Kyle Bradish (3-5, 5.30) has won two of his three starts since losing to the Red Sox on Aug. 20, though he lasted just three innings and allowed three runs — two on a Bo Bichette home run — on six hits in a no-decision against Toronto on Tuesday.
“I feel like I was throwing well, my velo was up, my slider was working,” Bradish said. “But that’s a good team.”
Bradish had a career-long streak of 16 scoreless innings snapped during his last start. He previously pitched two-hit, shutout ball for seven innings against Cleveland and eight against Houston.
Since returning from the injured list on July 29, Bradish has a 3.09 ERA in 42 2/3 innings and hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of his eight starts.
Bradish is 0-2 with a 7.43 ERA in three starts against the Red Sox this season.
Baltimore’s Cedric Mullins has five hits in the series, including a homer on Saturday.
“Tomorrow, if we win, we take the series and won’t think about all the runs we gave up tonight,” Lyles said. “It was a bad loss, but it only counts for one.”

NEW YORK – Tourists and New Yorkers alike crowded around the Rockefeller Center roller skating rink on Saturday trying to catch a glimpse of the vibrant statement knits on display at Victor Glemaud’s latest New York Fashion Week show.
For the Haitian American designer, who grew up in New York, the show held a sentimental meaning but served also as a marker in his career as his brand continues to grow. He launched his label in 2006 and has since collaborated on a collection with Target and forayed into home goods with Schumacher.
Glemaud’s show opened with roller skaters wearing his signature knits, bursting onto Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace rink, laughing and dancing as guests looked on. It continued with models displaying sheer looks, eye-catching cutouts, a few capes and a new collection of eyewear.
Glemaud drew inspiration for his contemporary sportswear looks from a recent trip to Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Glemaud said he wanted his collection to feel effortless, joyful and “something you want to wear in the summer.” Models strutted around the rink in skin-baring crocheted cover-ups looking like they'd just come from an ocean resort.
Glemaud’s brand was one of a record-breaking 28 Black-owned brands on display this New York Fashion Week.
“We have strived, and we love this industry,” Glemaud said of his fellow Black designers. “And, you know, our businesses for the majority are independently owned and self-financed. Fashion week means a lot. So, the more the merrier.”
During the pandemic, the designer founded “IN THE BLK,” a nonprofit collective to support Black creators in the fashion industry.
“It’s about bringing collective creative entrepreneurs together, not just fashion designers,” he said.
Glemaud’s show brought out a handful of TikTok celebrities, among them fashion influencer Brittany Xavier.
“I love that his collection is so inspired by summer and being together,” she said. “The kind of energy that we’ve been missing for the past two years.”
While Glemaud relied on a minimalist color palette and one animal print, that didn’t stop the youthfulness of his designs from shining through with his playful cut-outs. They elevated his dresses with a subtle sensuality and gave a stylish update to swimsuits.
The capes emblazoned with the letter “V" and form-fitting leopard prints would have been considered showstoppers of the night, had it not been for one moment that stood out from the rest: As the show wrapped, Glemaud’s mother, Julie, began to tear up with pride.
“The vibration, the love, the joy, she said. “It is always fun with Victor.”

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas," a free-to-play role-playing game (RPG) for iOS and Android, has released a new teaser for their hybrid champions gameplay. The latest development will bring a unique gaming experience, empowering players to create new hybrid champions that combine the skills and appearances of their other heroes in a mix & match style.
The game was released by leading mobile game development and publishing company GOAT Games on June 23 in English-language regions including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. The immensely popular game was ranked number one on the U.S. IOS Top New Free Chart on its launch day and gained over 1 million users within the first month.
The game has already featured a "marriage system" that allows players to harness the power of the champions' bloodlines to create new generations of hybrid heroes that will inherit the skills and power of their predecessors. This new system promises to combine these elements with long-awaited visuals, so that new hybrid champions will truly appear to be mixtures of their parents' races and appearances.
The game's lead narrative designer, Kyle, shared a progress update on the development of "hybrid champions" in the teaser. The "hybrid champion" gameplay was developed based on feedback from players. The development team plans to release the new gameplay in the near future.
"We value players' suggestions and the great ideas they've shared with us. The new hybrid champions system will unveil new characters, backstories, and events for our players. We want to bring new and exciting content to our players in order to create a one-of-a-kind gaming experience that encourages our players to explore and combine their champion's traits and abilities in the game," said Kyle.
Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas has a traditional Western fantasy theme with visually stunning realistic 3D graphics that gives players the total freedom to create various bloodlines. A unique and fresh design that makes the game stand out from traditional RPG games, with a variety of events and challenges that give players an immersive experience of managing their own city-state.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — A visiting U.S. diplomat on Sunday urged Sri Lankan authorities to tackle corruption and introduce governance reforms alongside efforts to uplift the country’s economy as a way out of its worst crisis in recent memory.
USAID Administrator Samantha Power told reporters that such moves will increase international and local trust in the government’s intentions.
“Assistance alone would not put an end to this country’s woes,” Power said. “I stressed to the Sri Lankan president in my meeting earlier today that political reforms and political accountability must go hand in hand with economic reforms and economic accountability.”
She said that international investor confidence will increase as the government tackles corruption and proceeds with long sought governance reforms. “As citizens see the government visibly following through on the commitment to bring about meaningful change, that in turn increases societal support for the tough economic reforms ahead,” she said.
During her two-day visit, Power announced a total of $60 million in aid to Sri Lanka. After meetings with farmers’ representatives at a rice field in Ja-Ela, outside of the capital Colombo on Saturday, she announced $40 million to buy agrochemicals in time for the next cultivation season.
Agricultural yields dropped by more than half for the past two cultivation seasons because authorities had banned the imports of chemical fertilizers ostensibly to promote organic farming. She said that according to the World Food Program, more than 6 million people — nearly 30% of Sri Lanka’s population — are currently facing food insecurity and require humanitarian assistance.
On Sunday, she said an additional $20 million will be given to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to vulnerable families.
Sri Lanka has faced its worst crisis after it defaulted on foreign loans, causing shortages of essentials like fuel, medicines and some food items.
It has reached a preliminary agreement with the International Monetary Fund for a $2.9 billion package to be disbursed over four years. However, the program hinges on Sri Lanka’s international creditors giving assurances on loan restructuring. Sri Lanka’s total foreign debt is more than $51 billion of which $28 billion must be repaid by 2027.
Power said that the U.S. stands ready to assist with debt restructuring and reiterated that it is imperative that China, one of the island nation’s bigger creditors, cooperate in this endeavor.
Infrastructure like a seaport, airport and a network of highways built with Chinese funding did not earn revenue and are partly blamed for the country’s woes.

Ukraine accuses Russia of attacking power grid in revenge for offensive
Ukraine has accused Russia of attacking civilian infrastructure after strikes on the country's power grid caused widespread blackouts.
Key points:
- Russian bombardment ignites a massive fire at a Kharkiv power station
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the goal of the attacks is to deprive civilians of light and heat
- Ukraine had just forced Russian troops to retreat from the north-east of the country
Officials said the bombardment was revenge for a rapid weekend offensive which drove Russia from its main bastion in the Kharkiv region.
They said targets included water facilities and a thermal power station in Kharkiv.
"No military facilities, the goal is to deprive people of light and heat," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Twitter late on Sunday.
The US ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, also denounced the strikes.
"Russia's apparent response to Ukraine liberating cities and villages in the east: sending missiles to attempt to destroy critical civilian infrastructure," she tweeted.
Moscow denies its forces deliberately target civilians.
Mr Zelenskyy has described Ukraine's offensive in the north-east as a potential breakthrough in the six-month-old war, and said the winter could see further territorial gains if Kyiv received more powerful weapons.
In the worst defeat for Moscow's forces since they were repelled from the outskirts of the capital Kyiv in March, thousands of Russian soldiers left behind ammunition and equipment as they fled the city of Izium, which they had used as a logistics hub.
Ukraine's chief commander, General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, said the armed forces had regained control of more than 3,000 square kilometres since the start of this month.
Moscow's almost total silence on the defeat — or any explanation of what happened in north-eastern Ukraine — has provoked some pro-war commentators and Russian nationalists on social media, who have called on President Vladimir Putin to make immediate changes to ensure Russia wins the war.
Russian strikes 'cynical revenge'
Mr Zelenskyy said late on Sunday that Russian attacks caused a total blackout in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, and partial blackouts in the Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions.
"They are unable to reconcile themselves to defeats on the battlefield," Dnipropetrovsk Governor Valentyn Reznichenko wrote on Telegram.
Ukrainian officials said Russia hit Kharkiv TEC-5, the country's second-biggest heat and power plant.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov described Sunday's attacks as "cynical revenge" for the success of Ukrainian troops, particularly in Kharkiv.
Ukraine's gains are important politically for Mr Zelenskyy as he seeks to keep Europe united behind Ukraine — supplying weapons and money — even as an energy crisis looms this winter after cuts in Russian gas supplies to European customers.
He has said Ukrainian forces would continue to advance.
Kyiv-based military analyst Oleh Zhdanov said the gains could bring a further push into the Luhansk region, which Russia captured at the beginning of July.
"If you look at the map, it is logical to assume that the offensive will develop in the direction of Svatove — Starobelsk, and Sievierodonetsk — Lysychansk," he said.
'It's a sign Russia can be defeated'
Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Ukraine needed to secure recaptured territory against a possible Russian counterattack on stretched Ukrainian supply lines.
He told the Financial Times Ukrainian forces could be encircled by fresh Russian troops if they advanced too far.
But he said the offensive had gone far better than expected, describing it as a "snowball rolling down a hill".
"It's a sign that Russia can be defeated," he said.
The head of Russia's administration in Kharkiv told residents to evacuate the province and flee to Russia, TASS reported on Saturday. Witnesses described traffic jams with people leaving Russian-held territory.
Leonid Pasechnik, the head of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, was quoted by Russian news agencies saying that Ukrainian forces were attempting to penetrate that region, which has been held by Russian forces since July.
"Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups have not stopped their attempts to infiltrate the territory of the republic for the purpose of provocation and intimidating our citizens," he said, adding that there had been "no retreat from positions held by the republic".

New Zealand's net migration numbers remained in negative territory for the year to July, although higher arrivals in the past month offset the continued rise in departures.
Still, the data from StatsNZ offered no respite for businesses worried about the extremely tight labour market.
On an annual basis New Zealand saw migrant arrivals of 52,100, down 16 per cent on a year earlier, Stats NZ said.
Migrant departures were 64,500, down 7 per cent
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.The provisional net migration loss of 12,400 in the year ended July 2022 was made up of net losses of 8300 New Zealand citizens and 4100 non-New Zealand citizens.
By comparison, the provisional net migration loss of 7600 in the year ended July 2021 was driven by a net loss of 19,700 non-New Zealand citizens partly offset by a net gain of 12,100 New Zealand citizens, Stats NZ said.
The comparisons between the July 2022 and 2021 months and years use the latest provisional estimates for each period.
The provisional estimates have 95 per cent confidence intervals (±) beside them – the wider the interval, the greater the uncertainty about the estimate. However, these intervals reflect the model uncertainty, not the extent of future revisions to provisional data.
Migration estimates in more recent months have greater uncertainty and are therefore subject to larger revisions than estimates for earlier periods.
Prior to the pandemic New Zealand saw several years of record net migration gains - with a peak of 65,000 in the year to July 2016.
After the pandemic closed borders in early 2020 New Zealand saw a record wave of arrivals as kiwis returned home.
In that wave the net migration peaked at nearly 85,000 in the year to June 2020.

Advertise with NZME.Numbers have dwindled steadily since then.
Lack of population growth has both inflationary and deflationary effects on the economy.
However on balance, it is considered to be an inflationary factor right now because the acute shortage of workers is putting upward pressure on labour costs.
Economists expect the negative net migration rate will also weigh on the property market.
In a report last month Kiwibank forecast New Zealand would no longer be suffering a housing shortage by mid-2023.
Housing demand had slowed as population growth hit its lowest rate since the 1980s.

Advertise with NZME."Supply is catching up in part because Covid restrictions at the border have seen population growth slow to a trickle," Kiwibank senior economist Jeremy Couchman said.

USA Basketball Wins Bronze at FIBA AmeriCup, Argentina Earns Gold Over Brazil – NBC Chicago
USA Basketball didn’t head home from the AmeriCup empty-handed.
Gary Clark scored 18 points, and the US rallied in the final minutes to top Canada 84-80 in the bronze-medal game on Sunday.
The Americans went on a 26-10 run over a 7-minute stretch of the final quarter, turning what was a 63-56 deficit into an 82-73 lead.
“I’m happy for our guys,” US Coach Alex Jensen said. “It was an honor to be a part of it.”
It was the ninth time in 11 Appearances at AmeriCup — the Championship of the FIBA Americas region — that the US captured a medal. The Americans have won gold seven times, silver once and now have a bronze.
Canada was seeking a seventh medal in 19 appearances at the event.
Jodie Meeks — an NBA Champion who spent 10 years in the league with seven teams — scored what may have been his final three points as a competitive player during that late run by the US Meeks’ only points on the day came when he got fouled on a 3-point try and made all three of the free throws with 3:31 left, pulling the US into a 71-71 tie.
Meeks is planning to retire and start a coaching career. His teammates sent him out with a medal, and Clark’s layup with 1:43 left put the Americans on top for good.
“It’s definitely been an experience for our guys,” Clark said. “The weather’s nice. I think most guys were upset that they couldn’t get in the ocean because of Sharks … but we’ve enjoyed our time here.”
Abu Kigab scored 18 points for Canada, while Kadre Gray and Jahvon Henry-Blair had 15 apiece.
Zylan Cheatham scored 16 for the US, while Craig Sword added 11 and Norris Cole led the team with eight assists.
Going home medalists, even though it wasn’t a higher-profile event like the Olympics or World Cup, wasn’t insignificant to the group of G League and internationally based players that the US assembled for this trip.
“From Day 1, I felt it,” Jensen said. “You’re part of a special group.”
Later Sunday, Gabriel Deck’s layup with 16.1 seconds left lifted Argentina past Brazil 75-73 in the gold-medal game.
Deck scored 20 points, Nicolas Laprovittola added 15 and Facundo Campazzo had 13 for Argentina. Vitor Benite led Brazil with 18 points, while Marcelinho Huertas and Yago Santos each scored 11.

Our aim is only 2022 Emmy Awards: Which races to watch
▶ Watch Video: Former President Barack Obama wins Emmy for his Netflix documentary narration
The 74th Emmy Awards will announce its next round of winners in Los Angeles on Monday, capping an exciting year in television.
Hosted by “Saturday Night Live” comedian Kenan Thompson and resuming business in its usual locale after two years of pandemic-era adjustments, the upcoming ceremony is set to broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater.
This year’s show promises contentious winners in a number of notable Emmy contests, the possible outcomes of which have spurred questions and predictions among forecasters since nominations were unveiled in early July. In the wake of production delays from COVID-19 restrictions that were eventually lifted, there was a notable increase in the number of contenders submitted for Emmys consideration in 2022, according to Variety, making for a particularly competitive season. Here are some of the races to watch.
Outstanding Drama
Returning favorites are up against a range of acclaimed newcomers for some of the award show’s biggest accolades. “Succession” — which has taken home numerous awards in past ceremonies and leads the overall nominations this year with 25 nods from the Television Academy — is nominated in several prominent categories, including outstanding drama. The HBO series’ recent win for best cast in a drama at the Creative Arts Emmys could signal the same for Monday night, although critics have noted that the caliber of the show’s rivals this year wouldn’t make it a huge surprise if the award were to go to a different player show.
“Squid Game,” the dystopian horror series from South Korean creator Hwang Dong-hyuk that Netflix said broke viewing records when it premiered last fall, is also a contender for outstanding drama. If it wins, “Squid Game” would become the first non-English language program to receive a major award at the Emmys. The same goes for its star, Lee Jung-jae, in the category for best actor in a drama.
Joining “Succession” and “Squid Game” in the run for outstanding drama are other widely celebrated shows, both old and new. “Better Call Saul,” “Euphoria,” “Ozark,” “Severance,” “Stranger Things” and “Yellowjackets” round out the list, with many competing against one another in additional categories as well.
Best Actress in a Drama
This year’s race for best actress in a drama will probably be a close call. Whether the accolade will go to Zendaya, who is nominated again for her lead performance in “Euphoria” and became the youngest actor to receive the award in 2020, four-time Emmy-winner Laura Linney for “Ozark” or Melanie Lynskey for “Yellowjackets” remains to be seen. Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh are also nominated for their roles in “Killing Eve” and Reese Witherspoon finishes off the category for her performance in “The Morning Show.”
Outstanding Comedy
Comedy races also pose stiff competition. After seven breakout wins in 2021, the popular Apple TV+ sports comedy-drama “Ted Lasso” is once again nominated in multiple categories, including several for lead and supporting actors. Meanwhile, newcomers like Hulu’s “Only Murders In the Building” and ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” are frontrunners competing for the first time.
“Abbott Elementary,” which was crowned program of the year by the Television Critics Association in August, won the best casting award at the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend. Quinta Brunson, creator and star of the sitcom, is the first Black woman to be nominated in three categories in a single year at the Emmys. Brunson wrote the nominated pilot episode and also serves as an executive producer on the series.
Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series
HBO Max’s summer ensemble drama “The White Lotus” is expected to make a significant splash at Monday’s awards ceremony after earning nearly as many nominations as its longer-established counterparts in other categories like “Succession” and “Ted Lasso. It is up against a spate of dramas adapted from true stories, including Netflix’s “Inventing Anna” and Hulu’s “Dopesick,” “Pam & Tommy” and “The Dropout” for best limited or anthology series.
Additional outcomes to watch are in categories for variety sketch and competition series, where “A Black Lady Sketch Show” will challenge “Saturday Night Live” and “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls” contends with “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
The Emmy Awards take place Monday, Sept. 12, starting at 8 p.m. ET. It will be available to watch live on NBC and the network’s streaming service, Peacock.

CHICAGO – Closing arguments are scheduled Monday for R. Kelly and two co-defendants in the R&B singer’s trial on federal charges of trial-fixing, child pornography and enticing minors for sex, with jury deliberations to follow.
Minutes before the defense rested late Friday, Kelly co-defendant and ex-business manager Derrell McDavid ended three days on the stand. He testified for nearly two days that he had believed Kelly when he denied abusing minors — then said he started having doubts about Kelly's believability during the trial that started last month.
Kelly and McDavid are charged with fixing Kelly’s 2008 state child pornography trial — at which Kelly was acquitted — by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence. Both also face child pornography charges. A third co-defendant, Kelly associate Milton Brown, is accused of receiving child pornography.
Prosecutors normally get a chance to call witnesses in a rebuttal of the defense case. But when they told Judge Harry Leinenweber that they needed time to prepare, he said there would be no rebuttal and the case would go straight to closing arguments Monday morning.
McDavid was the only one of the three defendants to testify on his own behalf.
Kelly, 55, already was sentenced to 30 years in prison in June after a separate federal trial in New York.
Known for his smash hit “I Believe I Can Fly” and for sex-infused songs such as “Bump n’ Grind,” Kelly sold millions of albums even after allegations of sexual misconduct began circulating in the 1990s. Widespread outrage emerged after the #MeToo reckoning and the 2019 docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly.”
During Kelly’s monthlong trial in 2008, state prosecutors played a 30-minute, sexually explicit video dozens of times on large screens throughout the courtroom. Prosecutors said it showed Kelly abusing a 14-year-old girl, “Jane."
The ongoing trial in Kelly's hometown is, in ways , a do-over of the 2008 trial. The single video was at the heart of that trial and is also in evidence at the current trial.
Jane, then an adult, did not testify at that 2008 trial, which jurors cited as a reason they couldn't convict Kelly. She testified at the current trial that she was the person in that video. She also said Kelly sexually abused her hundreds of times starting when she was 14.

A group of Atlantic City stakeholders is achieving remarkable progress toward making the city safer and cleaner. In particular, they’ve been able to start addressing the surge in repeat nonviolent offenses since bail reform.
The leader of the group, Atlantic County Prosecutor William Reynolds, urged it to start pushing for something that would be new to New Jersey — mental health courts. Most petty criminals and homeless require mental health treatment more than incarceration, he said. “Based on the crime I’ve seen in eight short weeks in office, it’s really needed,” Reynolds said.
Mental health courts screen and assess adults and juveniles with mental illnesses who are involved in the justice system. When appropriate, they arrange effective treatment and support as an alternative to imprisonment — similar to other specialized court systems such as drug courts and veterans’ courts.

Since beginning in the U.S. in the 1990s, mental health courts have proliferated. From just four in 1997, there were more than 300 by 2019, according to the Council of State Governments. There are none in New Jersey yet, but New York State has 31, Pennsylvania 20 and Delaware 1.
New Jersey’s recovery courts (its term for drug courts) have done excellent work getting those arrested on drug offenses into substance abuse treatment and staying clean, which reduces their likelihood to offend again. Reynolds said Atlantic County Sheriff Eric Scheffler had placed 35 people who were regulars on the city’s Atlantic Avenue into substance abuse treatment ahead of the summer NAACP convention.
But recovery court doesn’t accept people struggling only with mental health and not addiction, Reynolds said. He told the group that creating a mental health court would require state legislation.
Local state legislators immediately volunteered to pursue that.
Assemblyman Don Guardian offered to sponsor the legislation with fellow Republicans Assemblywoman Claire Swift and state Sen. Vince Polistina. With help from county and city law enforcement he drafted a bill, and expressed confidence that Democrats would make mental health courts a bipartisan improvement.
Federal help is available for setting up and funding such programs at the intersection of mental health and justice.
The GAINS Center for Behavioral Health and Justice Transformation operates within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The center helps expand community services for adults who are in the criminal justice system and experiencing a mental and/or substance use disorder. It also provides technical assistance and support to behavioral health and criminal justice professionals, and to states and communities integrating systems of mental health and substance use services
Core strategies of the GAINS Model include: gather new research findings and best practices; assess information for targeted communication; integrate learning and follow through; network those involved; and stimulate cost-effectiveness in achieving significant results.
The Bureau of Justice Assistance, within the U.S. Department of Justice, has a Mental Health Courts Program that funds projects to help adult offenders with mental disabilities or illnesses. Its goal is to mobilize communities toward innovative, collaborative efforts.
Mental health courts in Pennsylvania help more than 500 people a year who are unlikely to benefit from criminal prosecution alone.
They’re a proven method for addressing street crime and homelessness, and will help the reinvention of Atlantic City and quality of life in New Jersey.

They do not care much about electoral gains, instead expect Bharat Jodo Yatra to keep the party alive and kicking

Recently, I met a number of family friends in Vidarbha who are die-hard Congress or Bharatiya Janata Party loyalists. Vidarbha has a strong base for both parties, with the BJP having bagged good electoral fortunes in the past two elections, albeit with noticeable hiccups in the last Assembly polls. During our chats, the families discussed a development—Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra. The Congress supporters were excited to know that the party was finally doing something much-needed to reach out to the people; the action that has been missing at all levels of the Congress organisation. If not much electoral gains, they expect the yatra to keep the party alive and kicking.
The families were even more excited about Gandhi’s direct involvement in the reach-out affair, one that promises to be five months long and uninterrupted. Enthusiastic family members said they won’t mind joining Gandhi’s march, travelling 200-400 km from their homes to the places where Rahul halts in Maharashtra, bearing their own expenses. Unlike some Congress leaders, who were more meticulous in planning their trip, to be seen walking with Gandhi and getting photographed, the families didn’t worry much about getting noticed. They said they will be happy to be there, walking the distance their body strength permits. “We don’t care if we don’t get noticed. We just want to support Rahul,” said a young one. If travelling long is not possible, the families will participate in the local padayatra they are planning to mobilise the like-minded. These are the people the Congress organisation has been taking for granted, knowing that they will stand by the Gandhis, as long as the family continues to control the Congress.

During their friendly arguments, the pro-Congress and pro-BJP families tried to put the yatra in their own perspective. They shared a view that the yatra proves that Gandhis are still in command of the Congress. He takes over the party or not in the future, Rahul will be the de-facto in-charge, they said, adding that a non-Gandhi president, if at all the party gets one, will not dare cross the line and remain under Gandhi’s shadow. The Congress loyalist families cursed G-23 (currently fewer) leaders, accusing them of betrayal and sabotage. BJP loyalists said the BJP cannot escape Rahul and his kin. The BJP’s attacks on the Gandhis will escalate as the yatra’s distance between Kanyakumari and Kashmir decreases, they felt. A friendly ended in a draw. Both groups agreed that their respective parties should do whatever it takes to enlarge their footprints. “Let’s see what happens in the elections,” the argument concluded, with the BJP guys sounding more confident than their Congress counterparts.
Remarkably, some pro-BJP guys I met find their family roots in die-hard Congress loyalist forefathers. I know many such families. The grandsons of then Congress leaders have turned into strong BJP supporters in the past 15 years. There are aberrations in my local neighbourhood. A young gentleman, whose grandpa, father and uncles were RSS workers, is now a youth Congress leader. The family is vertically split. His family’s old generation still swears by the BJP and RSS. However, such RSS-turned-Congressperson could be few because the election results support this observation. The reason could be the saffron politics of the BJP, notwithstanding the Congress’s acceptance of soft Hindutva in its poll campaign and general approach.
The above account is representative of what could be happening on the ground in terms of a straight fight between the Congress and the BJP; who is gaining and losing, and why. For BJP, it is the organisation that puts it ahead. For Congress, it is also the organisation, a poorly led fossil that has gone back to the Stone Age. Speaking based on the interactions with the people from both sides, Rahul yatra is unlikely to make any significant electoral gains, but it will surely push the sceptic reformist in the Congress to believe, albeit unwillingly that it is only Gandhis who could be the party’s magnet, though not as powerful as they were in the past, when one of them decides to criss-cross the country by foot or by flight. The BJP, the Congress’s prime adversary, knows it even better and would be seen acting accordingly in the days to come.

TOCCOA, Ga. (AP) — When Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp made one of his first general election campaign swings in August, he went straight to the modern heartland of the state’s Republican Party.
It wasn’t Buckhead, the glitzy Atlanta neighborhood where Kemp lives in a governor’s mansion dwarfed by other nearby estates. And it wasn’t suburban Cobb County, once the bastion of Newt Gingrich.
Instead, Kemp kept going north, deep into the Georgia mountains that have become one of the most Republican areas in the country over the last three decades. He stopped at a gas station turned coffee shop in Toccoa to urge people “turn out an even bigger vote here in this county and in northeast Georgia than we’ve ever seen before.”
“Ask your kids, your grandkids, your friend’s kid, are they registered to vote?” Kemp told attendees. “If they’re eligible, and they’re not, we got to get them registered, and we’ve got to go tell them to pull it for the home team.”
The emphasis on this rural region represents a notable shift in the GOP’s strategy in Georgia. The party grew into a powerhouse in Georgia once it began combining a strong performance in the Atlanta suburbs with growing dominance in rural areas. But that coalition has frayed in recent years as voters in the booming Atlanta region rejected the GOP under former President Donald Trump, turning this onetime Republican stronghold into the South’s premier swing state.
A 41-county region, including some distant Atlanta suburbs encroaching into north Georgia, now has as many GOP voters as the core of metro Atlanta, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. Those changing dynamics have intensified pressure on Kemp to maintain — or strengthen — his support in rural mountainous communities like Toccoa to offset losses closer to the capital city.
Kemp won the governor’s office in 2018 by defeating Democrat Stacey Abrams by just 1.4 percentage points. As the two wage a rematch for the job this year, early summer polling found a close race, with some suggesting Kemp has a narrow advantage.
But his reliance on voters like those in Toccoa is driving the party further to the right.
In a diversifying state, north Georgia is overwhelmingly white. While Democrats attack and Republicans fret over abortion restrictions in the suburbs, there’s little public wavering in the mountains. Voters love guns so much that they cut out the middleman and chose gun dealer Andrew Clyde as one of north Georgia’s two very Trumpy members of Congress. The other member? Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“It reflects a lot of the country right now, in the sense that it’s very populist, very close to the vest, very isolated in the sense of distrust of government, very strong-willed, mountain Appalachian-type individuals that are very self-sufficient,” said former Rep. Doug Collins, the Republican who preceded Clyde in representing northeast Georgia’s 9th Congressional District.
Kathy Petrella, a Clarkesville retiree who was visiting the state Department of Driver Services in early September in Toccoa, said she’s a “true blue conservative.”
“It means I don’t believe in the government telling me anything I have to do, except law and order,” said Petrella, who cites her Christian faith as an important anchor of her political affiliation and fears a decline into “communism.”
Lee MacAulay of the north Georgia town of Cleveland, also visiting Toccoa, said she believes Trump won the 2020 election and calls President Joe Biden “a ridiculous joke” and “an idiot.”
“I was a Trumper,” MacAulay said. “I am a Trumper.”
Jay Doss, a Toccoa lawyer, said he feels “working-class people are benefited more by the conservative party” and that “I just feel that less government is better for everybody.”
There was once another conservative tradition in north Georgia — in the Democratic Party. While there were always some Republicans, a legacy of white mountaineers who backed the Union over the Confederacy in the Civil War, they won few elections.
“It used to be slap Democrat. If you ran Republican, you could not get elected. Now, if you run Democrat, you ain’t got a chance much of getting elected,” said Stephens County Commissioner Dennis Bell, a Republican who owns Currahee Station, the coffee shop where Kemp campaigned in Toccoa.
That Democratic lineage, nourished by the 1930s-era New Deal, produced former Gov. Zell Miller, a proud son of the mountains and titan of Georgia Democratic politics a generation ago.
Miller rode high in the 1990s as a Democrat who combatted crime and overhauled welfare, while creating lottery-funded college scholarships. Miller even squeaked out a reelection victory in the 1994 “Republican Revolution” that vaulted Gingrich to U.S. House speaker.
That year, Miller actually lost his home region to Republican Guy Millner, a self-financed millionaire businessman. But Miller lost by fewer than 4,000 votes across north Georgia, and Millner’s strength in suburban Atlanta wasn’t enough, leaving the Republican 32,000 votes short statewide.
By 2004, as a U.S. senator, Miller was giving the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention that renominated George W. Bush. By then, Miller had written “A National Party No More,” a book that blamed his own party for abandoning Southern conservative Democrats.
“Obviously, southerners believe the national Democratic Party does not share their values,” Miller wrote in the 2003 book. “They do not trust the national party with their money or the security of the country.”
North Georgia was 19% of Millner’s vote in 1994. It was 26% of Kemp’s vote in 2018. Some of that is due to population growth, but reflects a partisan shift to Republicans. Millner won less than 51% of the vote in the region. Kemp won almost 72%.
Democrats, enduring steep decline, grew demoralized. June Krise, who then chaired the Democratic Party in north Georgia’s White County, remembers crying when the county probate judge, clerk of court and sheriff all switched to run as Republicans.
“`If we don’t switch, we will lose because the Republicans are going to run somebody against us,'” Krise remembers the men telling her. “And guess why they were going to lose. Barack Obama was the Democratic nominee for president.”
Republicans say formerly Democratic voters gravitated to their party because of cultural issues, but those who study the electorate note white voters are much more likely to be Republican, and Appalachia made a hard turn against Obama, the nation’s first Black president.
“The Republican Party has now started organizing itself, I think, to be more in line with the white people who are there — more rural, less urban-interested. even less suburban-interested, in terms of the state party,” Fraga said. “And that’s looks more like North Georgia in a lot of ways.”

Yara Marine Launches Route Pilot AI
Yara Marine Technologies has launched Route Pilot AI, a cloud-based AI-powered ship operation support system that utilizes high-frequency data to calculate the most advantageous propulsion settings for upcoming voyages. The AI, which uses digital twin modeling to simulate operational parameters, will enable ship and shore-based personnel to calculate optimal working parameters to lower fuel consumption and realize the most energy-efficient voyage.
Digital twin modeling and the use of AI also enable effective fleet management and improve communication between vessels and shore teams. When using Route Pilot AI, alternative routes can be assessed and compared in its voyage forecast performance system. Shipowners and operators have access to enhanced decision-making as the AI compares a variety of estimated times of arrival and departure and evaluates which vessel in the operator’s fleet would be most suitable for the specific route in question. As a result, it sets smarter, more efficient operational parameters to optimize fuel consumption. These optimized parameters are then carried out by the FuelOpt system, which adjusts propulsion while accounting for changing internal and external surroundings.
Route Pilot AI’s ability to reliably calculate arrival times while optimizing fuel consumption complements just-in-time arrival strategies. The system can be used to calculate virtual arrival times and the actual expected ETA under the forecasted weather conditions with maximum fuel efficiency.

'This could have easily been a murder': Father and son are arrested for 'beating and stomping on unconscious man within inches of death' while at a WEDDING reception in Florida
- Joel O'Grady, 38, and his son, Julian Falkinburg, 21, were both charged with aggravated battery
- Tyler Kaltenbach, 36, suffered a broken nose and cheek having been beaten up and left for dead in the parking lot of a Florida wedding venue last Saturday
- Father and son were both arrested with O'Grady posting a $100,000 bond, and Falkinburg posting a $50,000 bond
- Kaltenbach will have to undergo extensive facial reconstructive surgery with many of his teeth having been knocked out
A father and son have been arrested by police in Florida after allegedly brutally beating up a man at a wedding reception in Daytona Beach last weekend.
The beating of 36-year-old Tyler Kaltenbach was so severe that he was left unconscious at the scene, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Joel O'Grady, 38, and Julian Falkinburg, 21, both from Sanford near Orlando allegedly beat Kaltenbach up in the parking lot at the Granville Farms wedding venue in Lake Helen last Saturday night.
The father-son duo, slammed as 'scumbags' by a sherriff, went on the the run before being arrested on charges of aggravated battery.
Joel O'Grady, 38, has been charged with aggravated battery before being released after posting a $100,000 bond
His son, Julian Falkinburg, 21, was also charged aggravated battery before posting a $50,000 bond
The pair's beating was said to be savage - with the duo stomping on him while he was unconscious and lying on the ground.
The pair were booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail with O'Grady released after posting a $100,000 bond.
Meanwhile Falkinburg posted $50,000 bond and was released on Saturday afternoon according to the sheriff's office.
'This isn't like a punch. This is the guy goes down and then you stomp on him until he's unconscious. This could have easily been a murder,' Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said to Fox 35.
'Somebody could have ended up with significant brain damage. We hear about these things all the time.'
36-year-old Tyler Kaltenbach was so severe that he was left unconscious at the scene according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Kaltenbach could be seen in the parking lot of a wedding venue near Daytona Beach, Florida
Emergency responders reported how Kaltenbach was found on the ground clinging to life. He is pictured in the moments after regaining consciousness
'This has to be our first father and son SCUMBAG OF THE WEEK post, but they earned it. Not just kicking a man when he’s down - but when he’s unconscious,' Chitwood wrote in a Facebook posting.
Emergency responders reported how Kaltenbach was found on the ground clinging to life.
He will face a long road to recovery including having to undergo facial reconstructive surgery after his cheekbone was broken.
'Dental work is going to be extensive. All of his upper teeth were kicked out. Many of his lower teeth,' the family attorney, Sara Howelles said.
Authorities say O'Grady and Falkinburg both have extensive, violent criminal histories. The pair knew Kaltenbach, but it is unclear was led to the attack.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tom Brady and Mike Evans connected on a punctuating touchdown, Leonard Fournette ran for 127 yards, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dominated the Cowboys 19-3 while Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott departed with a hand injury on Sunday night.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said after the game that Prescott needs surgery on his throwing hand and will miss multiple weeks, a season-altering blow to a team that won the NFC East last year.
A rough night for Prescott got worse after his right hand struck a defender when throwing a pass in the fourth quarter. He was checked on the sideline before jogging to the locker room.
Brady was in control throughout the first start for a 45-year-old quarterback in NFL history. The seven-time Super Bowl champ got a big assist from the defense in Todd Bowles' debut as Tampa Bay's coach following three seasons as defensive coordinator.
The Cowboys and Bucs had the top two offenses in the NFL last season, which started with Tampa Bay's 31-29 win at home over Dallas when Brady and Prescott combined for seven TDs passing. Only one offense showed up this time.
Dallas drove 54 yards to a field goal on the first possession, but didn't score again while finishing with its second-fewest points in an opener. The Cowboys lost to New Orleans 28-0 in 1989 — Jerry Jones' first game as owner.
Julio Jones had a 48-yard catch in the two-time All-Pro's Tampa Bay debut to set up one of four first-half field goals from Ryan Succop, who had five attempts before the break without a punt from the Bucs.
Brady, who improved to 7-0 against the Cowboys, was 18 of 17 for 212 yards with an interception that didn't amount to much because Prescott and receiver Noah Brown couldn't connect on an easy third-down throw near midfield early in the fourth quarter.
The Cowboys did nothing to quiet questions about the receiving group behind CeeDee Lamb, the third-year player who is the new No. 1 target after the offseason trade of Amari Cooper.
Lamb had two catches for 29 yards while drawing most of the attention. Noah Brown had five catches for 68 yards, while Prescott finished 14 of 29 for 134 yards with an interception that set up one of the first-half field goals.
The gap in receiving depth was clear, with Evans and Chris Godwin both having catches of at least 20 yards in the first quarter before Godwin had to leave with a hamstring injury.
The Cowboys stayed close in the first half only because of two sacks from reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Micah Parsons. Both forced field goals, and Succop missed one of the tries.
Devin White matched Parsons with two sacks of Prescott as the Cowboys lost to the Bucs at home for just the second time while coach Mike McCarthy dropped to 0-3 in openers with Dallas. Dave Campo was the only other Dallas coach to do that.
Fournette had 40 of the 79 yards on the drive that ended with Brady's 5-yard scoring pass to Evans for a 19-3 lead.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) released its 2021-2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report—Working to Change the World—citing its reduction of operational emissions by 39%, and marking significant progress toward its 2030 goal of reducing direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 60%, and its value chain emissions by 30%. ManpowerGroup was the first company in its industry to have its climate goals validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).
The company is also actively driving its social mission where it can have the most impact by addressing the growing structural skills shortage by calling on the global community to work together to accelerate impact in the areas of skills development, employability, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). This will help workers prepare for a future of work that is more digital, more global and fast paced than ever.
An inaugural member of the World Economic Forum's Alliance for CEO Climate Leaders and a founding member of the World Employment Confederation and many others, ManpowerGroup is an active contributor and believer in collective partnership. Its Working to Change the World plan reinforces its values around people and purpose – that meaningful work has the power to change the world – and highlights the many ways the company is making progress within its main pillars:
- Planet (the E in ESG) - by reducing emissions within the company and its value chain
- People & Prosperity (the S in ESG) - by creating talent at scale and providing meaningful, sustainable work for all
- Principles of Governance - by being consistently recognized for its ethical and responsible business practices
"I am proud of the dedication of the ManpowerGroup team to be first in our industry to have our 2030 climate goals validated by SBTi, identifying the levers to reach Net-Zero by 2045 or sooner," says ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO Jonas Prising. "What is increasingly urgent, however, is the need to make the same kind of global collective progress to address the S - and decades faster than we did on climate action. When you're dealing with people and talent, you're intimately involved in one of the most important decisions in someone's lifetime - the choice of a job, career and income. We know that global economics, current geopolitics, and other accelerating trends are exacerbating the divide between knowledge workers, skilled and unskilled workers. Unless we act now, we will see a further bifurcation of opportunity and wealth creation by gender, race, education, and skill set, which is not good for economic growth and societal well-being."
"We believe in shared ambitions to achieve Net Positive on the S and, therefore, we must take a more science-based approach," says Ruth Harper, chief sustainability and communications officer of ManpowerGroup. "For us, People and Prosperity are core to our business and foundational to our purpose. That's why we believe in Net Positive employment – so that people are better off whether they stay with us or leave. It means being people first by broadening diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace, increasing people's individual employability, and providing them with greater control of their prosperity and earning potential so they know more about themselves, understand their potential, and can be confident they have the skills for today and tomorrow."
Key highlights from the ManpowerGroup 2021-2022 ESG Report:

The newest edition ranks 1,500 colleges and universities across the country.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in education rankings, today announced the 2022-2023 Best Colleges. Serving as a guide for prospective students and their families, the rankings evaluate 1,500 colleges and universities on up to 17 measures of academic quality.
"For nearly 40 years, the Best Colleges methodology has continuously evolved to reflect changes in the higher education landscape and the interests of prospective students," said Kim Castro, editor and chief content officer at U.S. News. "Guiding that evolution is U.S. News' mission of providing useful data and information to help with one of life's biggest decisions."
This year's rankings include:
- Update to SAT/ACT calculation: In previous editions, SAT/ACT scores were, in effect, reduced if too few students submitted scores. For this edition, U.S. News discontinued this practice. For schools that reported SAT/ACT scores for less than 50% of new entrants in consecutive years, U.S. News did not use those scores to calculate the school's rank. Instead, U.S. News increased the weights of two other ranking factors: high school class standing and average graduation rate. This change was made due to the pandemic's effects on testing in 2020, when the supply and demand for taking the SAT/ACT plummeted, particularly among students from low-income backgrounds.
- More comprehensive measure of faculty resources: The percent of faculty with a terminal degree now includes the share of part-time faculty with a terminal degree. Previously, this metric assessed only full-time faculty. This is a more comprehensive measurement that now includes highly credentialed faculty regardless of their employment contract. This change reflects the growing number of part-time instructors at schools.
- Updates to the ranking categories: About 10% of ranked schools moved into different categories this year. For example, a school ranked previously as a Regional University may now be ranked as a National University. This is due to the "2021 update" from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, which U.S. News has used since the first Best Colleges rankings in 1983 to compare schools with similar missions.
To calculate the rankings, U.S. News focuses on academic quality and places emphasis on outcome measures – including graduation rates, retention rates, graduate indebtedness and social mobility. Outcomes are the most highly weighted ranking factor, contributing 40% to each school's overall score.

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Tom Westbrook
After months of stalemate, the frontlines are suddenly fluid in fighting over Ukraine's east. Russia has hastily abandoned Izium, its bastion beneath Kharkiv, and lost control of the rail hub supplying its forces in the northeast. read more
The swift manoeuvres ought give cause for markets to reconsider the range of outcomes. Grinding attrition remains one, but re-conquest - or some unpredictable sort of Russian retaliation - have entered the equation.

Risks have probably gone up. Still, wheat futures dipped in Asia as France fell in with efforts to bring more Ukrainian grain to global markets.
Stocks were gliding on Wall Street's tailwinds, with the hope that tomorrow's U.S. inflation data shows the sort of cooling progress that could temper the interest rate outlook.
Later on Monday, monthly British growth data is due along with industrial and manufacturing output.
Mourning and geopolitics may fill out the rest of the week before policy risk is front and centre next week; with central bank meetings in the U.S., England and Japan.
The coffin of Queen Elizabeth traversed sunlit Scottish highlands to Edinburgh on Sunday, and will lie in St. Giles Cathedral today before going to London on Tuesday. read more
Xi Jinping will leave China for the first time in more than two years this week to meet Vladimir Putin at the ancient Silk Road entrepot of Samarkand. It will be the pair's 38th encounter since Xi became China's president in 2013. read more
Xi and U.S President Joe Biden are yet to meet in person since Biden's inauguration in 2021.

TOCCOA, Ga. (AP) — When Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp made one of his first general election campaign swings in August, he went straight to the modern heartland of the state’s Republican Party.
It wasn’t Buckhead, the glitzy Atlanta neighborhood where Kemp lives in a governor’s mansion dwarfed by other nearby estates. And it wasn’t suburban Cobb County, once the bastion of Newt Gingrich.
Instead, Kemp kept going north, deep into the Georgia mountains that have become one of the most Republican areas in the country over the last three decades. He stopped at a gas station turned coffee shop in Toccoa to urge people “turn out an even bigger vote here in this county and in northeast Georgia than we’ve ever seen before.”
“Ask your kids, your grandkids, your friend’s kid, are they registered to vote?” Kemp told attendees. “If they’re eligible, and they’re not, we got to get them registered, and we’ve got to go tell them to pull it for the home team.”
The emphasis on this rural region represents a notable shift in the GOP’s strategy in Georgia. The party grew into a powerhouse in Georgia once it began combining a strong performance in the Atlanta suburbs with growing dominance in rural areas. But that coalition has frayed in recent years as voters in the booming Atlanta region rejected the GOP under former President Donald Trump, turning this onetime Republican stronghold into the South’s premier swing state.
A 41-county region, including some distant Atlanta suburbs encroaching into north Georgia, now has as many GOP voters as the core of metro Atlanta, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. Those changing dynamics have intensified pressure on Kemp to maintain — or strengthen — his support in rural mountainous communities like Toccoa to offset losses closer to the capital city.
Kemp won the governor’s office in 2018 by defeating Democrat Stacey Abrams by just 1.4 percentage points. As the two wage a rematch for the job this year, early summer polling found a close race, with some suggesting Kemp has a narrow advantage.
But his reliance on voters like those in Toccoa is driving the party further to the right.
In a diversifying state, north Georgia is overwhelmingly white. While Democrats attack and Republicans fret over abortion restrictions in the suburbs, there’s little public wavering in the mountains. Voters love guns so much that they cut out the middleman and chose gun dealer Andrew Clyde as one of north Georgia’s two very Trumpy members of Congress. The other member? Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“It reflects a lot of the country right now, in the sense that it’s very populist, very close to the vest, very isolated in the sense of distrust of government, very strong-willed, mountain Appalachian-type individuals that are very self-sufficient,” said former Rep. Doug Collins, the Republican who preceded Clyde in representing northeast Georgia’s 9th Congressional District.
Kathy Petrella, a Clarkesville retiree who was visiting the state Department of Driver Services in early September in Toccoa, said she’s a “true blue conservative.”
“It means I don’t believe in the government telling me anything I have to do, except law and order,” said Petrella, who cites her Christian faith as an important anchor of her political affiliation and fears a decline into “communism.”
Lee MacAulay of the north Georgia town of Cleveland, also visiting Toccoa, said she believes Trump won the 2020 election and calls President Joe Biden “a ridiculous joke” and “an idiot.”
“I was a Trumper,” MacAulay said. “I am a Trumper.”
Jay Doss, a Toccoa lawyer, said he feels “working-class people are benefited more by the conservative party” and that “I just feel that less government is better for everybody.”
There was once another conservative tradition in north Georgia — in the Democratic Party. While there were always some Republicans, a legacy of white mountaineers who backed the Union over the Confederacy in the Civil War, they won few elections.
“It used to be slap Democrat. If you ran Republican, you could not get elected. Now, if you run Democrat, you ain’t got a chance much of getting elected,” said Stephens County Commissioner Dennis Bell, a Republican who owns Currahee Station, the coffee shop where Kemp campaigned in Toccoa.
That Democratic lineage, nourished by the 1930s-era New Deal, produced former Gov. Zell Miller, a proud son of the mountains and titan of Georgia Democratic politics a generation ago.
Miller rode high in the 1990s as a Democrat who combatted crime and overhauled welfare, while creating lottery-funded college scholarships. Miller even squeaked out a reelection victory in the 1994 “Republican Revolution” that vaulted Gingrich to U.S. House speaker.
That year, Miller actually lost his home region to Republican Guy Millner, a self-financed millionaire businessman. But Miller lost by fewer than 4,000 votes across north Georgia, and Millner’s strength in suburban Atlanta wasn’t enough, leaving the Republican 32,000 votes short statewide.
By 2004, as a U.S. senator, Miller was giving the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention that renominated George W. Bush. By then, Miller had written “A National Party No More,” a book that blamed his own party for abandoning Southern conservative Democrats.
“Obviously, southerners believe the national Democratic Party does not share their values,” Miller wrote in the 2003 book. “They do not trust the national party with their money or the security of the country.”
North Georgia was 19% of Millner’s vote in 1994. It was 26% of Kemp’s vote in 2018. Some of that is due to population growth, but reflects a partisan shift to Republicans. Millner won less than 51% of the vote in the region. Kemp won almost 72%.
Democrats, enduring steep decline, grew demoralized. June Krise, who then chaired the Democratic Party in north Georgia’s White County, remembers crying when the county probate judge, clerk of court and sheriff all switched to run as Republicans.
“`If we don’t switch, we will lose because the Republicans are going to run somebody against us,'” Krise remembers the men telling her. “And guess why they were going to lose. Barack Obama was the Democratic nominee for president.”
Republicans say formerly Democratic voters gravitated to their party because of cultural issues, but those who study the electorate note white voters are much more likely to be Republican, and Appalachia made a hard turn against Obama, the nation’s first Black president.
“The Republican Party has now started organizing itself, I think, to be more in line with the white people who are there — more rural, less urban-interested. even less suburban-interested, in terms of the state party,” Fraga said. “And that’s looks more like North Georgia in a lot of ways.”

Charles Leclerc finished ahead of Carlos Sainz as Ferrari led the way in opening practice for the Italian Grand Prix – after Formula One observed a one-minute silence in memory of Her Majesty The Queen.
Ten minutes before the first action of the weekend in Monza, the grid’s 10 teams – six of which are based in the United Kingdom – gathered in memory of the long-serving monarch who died on Thursday.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton wore a black armband on his Mercedes overalls as he was flanked by British team-mate George Russell and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali in the pit-lane.
FIA president Mohammed ben Suleyman paid his respects alongside Domenicali in front of the silent main grandstand awash with Ferrari red at the Italian team’s home race. A giant black and white image of the Queen was displayed on the podium.
A spontaneous round of applause broke out following the one-minute silence. Another moment of reflection is planned on the grid ahead of Sunday’s Grand Prix.
Earlier on Friday, Hamilton, who was knighted last year, described the Queen as a “symbol of hope for so many”, and said “she served her country with dignity, dedication and kindness”.
While the Premier League cancelled its fixtures this weekend, F1 bosses are pressing on with the 16th round of the season in Monza, 13 miles north of Milan.
Hamilton’s Mercedes team are running with a black armband on the roll hoop of both his and Russell’s cars, while staff from across the teams, F1, and its governing body, the FIA, are all wearing black armbands.
Leclerc, who is 109 points behind runaway championship leader Max Verstappen, headed the order, just 0.077 seconds clear of Sainz.
Russell finished third, 0.279 sec adrift, and one place ahead of Hamilton, who was four tenths back. Verstappen finished fifth.
Sainz, Hamilton and Verstappen are all facing grid penalties on Sunday for exceeding their allocation of engine parts.
Verstappen is set to drop five places for changing his Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), while Sainz and Hamilton are likely to line up towards the back. Hamilton is punished for taking on his fourth power unit of the campaign – one more than is allocated under the sport’s rules.
Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Perez is also facing an engine penalty which could pave the way for a straight shootout between Leclerc and Russell – the only two drivers from the big three teams not to be affected by grid sanctions.
Elsewhere, the Alpine pair of Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso finished sixth and seventh, with McLaren’s Lando Norris 16th. Second practice gets under way at 5pm local time (4pm UK).

Opinion
The Queen and I: why she made this republican’s wish list of dinner party guests
Anne Ring
Freelance writerTrue story: at our Cremorne Old Girls’ 80th birthday gathering, which I wrote about recently, we had fun sharing our thoughts on which three people we’d want at a dinner party. George Clooney was the man of the moment there, but when it came to my turn, I managed to resist him in favour of one of our old friends who was missing in action, Ronnie Kahn of OzHarvest – and whom, not being a monarchist, I proposed should be Australia’s first president.
And so, why on earth was my third choice Queen Elizabeth II? As I explained, with her reputation for wit (in no small measure backed up by her recent encounter with Paddington Bear), I felt that after a couple of glasses of a good wine, she could be a fount of incisive observations about her lived-in history. Who else had known so many British prime ministers and world leaders about whom we could get the first-hand low-down.
And, as a matter of fact, in my childhood I had been a committed royalist from the time I arrived in Australia at the age of seven (from China, where I’d been born of Hungarian parents, but that’s a whole other story), and found that my newfound friends all had scrapbooks bulging with photographs of the British royals. In no time, thanks to The Australian Women’s Weekly and the other magazines featuring the young Princess Elizabeth and her family, I too had scrapbooks growing like Topsy.
For me, too, like so many excited school children around Australia, 1954 brought the thrill of coming face to face with her. As part of her visit, she had come all the way across the Blue Mountains, and in her open car she went past our assembled classes in Lithgow Oval, slowly enough for me to capture her with my box camera. That was a treasured photograph until I managed to lose it during one of our many moves.
Over the years, I became less of a royalist. And, unrelatedly, the magazines that had portrayed the royals with worshipful adoration gradually changed their tone to suit the times. And the times were seeking to turn the members of Britain’s royal family into just another bunch of celebrities whose lives and – hopefully – peccadilloes were rated on the basis of how many issues could be sold on the backs of ever more salacious and critical stories.
Their nadir seemed to be reached with the fatal results of paparazzi in pursuit of Princess Diana in Paris. But over the years, as memories of that faded, new victims have been found. The most popular ones, now, are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. None of us can know the truth behind the sad schism that has caused this split in the royal family, but it’s not for want of the media’s trying, and of exacerbating it.
We can only imagine the distress that this had brought the Queen, while at the same time Prince Phillip died and – so – she had to soldier on without the love of her life, while also having to endure the painful reality of the actions of her reputedly favourite son, Prince Andrew.
In a way, it could be said, all of this made her more relatable to people who’ve had to endure losses and conflicts within their families. And the way she, nonetheless, bravely soldiered on, only enhanced her reputation, and made her something of a role model, as she continued working with dedication at her lifelong occupation until her last days.
Now that she has died, and her son, King Charles III has taken over the reins, I like to think that – among all he has said since her death – it is in homage to her that he has held out an olive branch to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A month after losing one nearly $50 million verdict, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is set to go on trial a second time for calling the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a hoax and causing several of the victims' families emotional and psychological harm.
A six-member jury with several alternates in Connecticut will begin hearing evidence Tuesday on how much Jones should pay the families, since he already has been found liable for damages to them. The trial is expected to last about four weeks.
Last month, a Texas jury ordered Jones to pay $49.3 million to the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, one of 26 students and teachers killed in the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Jones' lawyer has said an appeal is planned.
The Connecticut case has the potential for a larger award because it involves three lawsuits — which have been consolidated — that were filed by 15 plaintiffs, including the relatives of nine of the victims and a former FBI agent who responded to the school shooting.
Jones, who runs his web show and Infowars brand in Austin, Texas, also faces a third trial over the hoax conspiracy in another pending lawsuit by Sandy Hook parents in Texas.
Here is a look at the upcoming trial in Waterbury, Connecticut, about 18 miles (29 kilometers) northeast of Newtown. Infowars' parent company, Free Speech Systems, which has filed for bankruptcy protection, is also a defendant.
WHY ARE THE SANDY HOOK FAMILIES SUING JONES?
The families and former FBI agent William Aldenberg say they have been confronted and harassed in person by Jones' followers because of the hoax conspiracy. They also say they have endured death threats and been subjected to abusive comments on social media.
Some of the plaintiffs say strangers have videotaped them and their surviving children. And some families have moved out of Newtown to avoid threats and harassment.
“I can’t even describe the last nine and a half years, the living hell that I and others have had to endure because of the recklessness and negligence of Alex Jones,” Neil Heslin, Jesse Lewis' father, testified during the Texas trial.
The Connecticut lawsuit alleges defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violations of the state Unfair Trade Practices Act. The families claim when Jones talked about Sandy Hook, he boosted his audience and raked in more profits from selling supplements, clothing and other items.
The families have not asked for any specific amount of damages, some of which may be limited by state laws. There are no damage limits, however, under the Unfair Trade Practices Act.
In all the Connecticut and Texas cases, Jones and his lawyers repeatedly failed to turn over records as required to the families' attorneys. In response, judges handed down one of the harshest sanctions in the civil legal world — they found Jones liable for damages by default without trials.
WHAT DOES ALEX JONES SAY?
In a reversal from what he said on his show for years following the shooting, Jones now says he believes the massacre was real. But he continues to say his comments about the shooting being a hoax involving crisis actors to encourage gun control efforts were protected by free speech rights.
During a deposition in the case in April, a defiant Jones insisted he wasn't responsible for the suffering that Sandy Hook parents say they have endured because of his words.
He also has said the judges' default rulings against him — finding him liable without trials — were unfair and suggested they were part of a conspiracy to put him out of business and silence him.
“If questioning public events and free speech is banned because it might hurt somebody’s feelings, we are not in America anymore," he said at the deposition. "They can change the channel. They can come out and say I’m wrong. They have free speech.”
At the Texas trial, however, Jones testified that he now realizes what he said was irresponsible, did hurt people's feelings and he apologized.
WHAT IS EXPECTED AT THE TRIAL?
Judge Barbara Bellis, who found Jones liable for damages, will oversee the trial. She is the same judge who oversaw Sandy Hook families' lawsuit against gun maker Remington, which made the Bushmaster rifle used in the school shooting. In February, Remington agreed to settle the lawsuit for $73 million.
The trial is expected to be similar to the one in Texas, with victims' relatives testifying about the pain and anguish the hoax conspiracy caused them and medical professionals answering questions about the relatives' mental health and diagnoses.
Jones also will be testifying, said his lawyer, Norman Pattis.
“He is looking forward to putting this trial behind him; it has been a long and costly distraction,” Pattis wrote in an email to The Associated Press.
Evidence about Jones' finances is also expected to be presented to the jury.
Jones testified at the Texas trial that any award over $2 million would “sink us,” and he urged his web show viewers to buy his merchandise to help keep him on air and fight the lawsuits.
But an economist testified that Jones and his company were worth up to $270 million. Jones faces another lawsuit in Texas over accusations that he hid millions of dollars in assets after families of Sandy Hook victims began taking him to court.

The Queen during her walkabout in City Square, Dundee, in July 1987.
The Queen has been a regular visitor to the City of Dundee during her time as monarch, and even before then as a little girl.
Over the years Her Majesty, who has died at the age of 96 , has spent time with locals, visited both universities within the city and more recently opened the Slessor Garden’s events space in 2016.
We’ve taken a look through our archives, all the way back to the 1930s, to revisit some of the Queen’s moments in Dundee.

U.S. freight railroads prepare for potential strike disruption
By Maria Ponnezhath and Lisa Baertlein
LOS ANGELES, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Major U.S. freight railroads said on Friday they were preparing for a possible strike and service disruption a week before a deadline in protracted labor talks.
BNSF, owned by Berkshire Hathaway, and CSX said they were taking necessary steps to secure the shipments of hazardous and security-sensitive materials in the event of a strike.
"While these preparations are necessary, it does not mean that a work stoppage is inevitable," BNSF said in a statement to Reuters.
Contract negotiations between railways including BNSF, Union Pacific, CSX and unions representing 115,000 workers hit an impasse this summer after more than two years of talks. Failure to reach a settlement before a cooling-off period expires on Sept. 16 could open the door to strikes, employer lockouts and congressional intervention.
Talks are "active and ongoing" a spokesperson for the Association of American Railroads said on Friday. Union Pacific did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours.
Last month, President Joe Biden appointed a presidential emergency board that made settlement recommendations to help avoid disruptions to food and fuel supplies and worsening inflation.
BNSF said the remaining unions and other railroads continue to work to reach voluntary agreements based on the board's recommendations to avoid interruption to rail service.
The largest U.S. trucking industry group on Friday urged Congress to be prepared to prevent railroad shutdowns if the negotiations fail to produce contracts by the deadline.
"Congress should take swift action ... to avoid a debilitating and unnecessary labor disruption that could cost the country billions each day," Chris Spear, chief executive of the American Trucking Associations (ATA), wrote in a letter to congressional leadership.
In the early 1990s, Congress required the two sides to engage in final and binding arbitration to prevent disruptions to shipping activities.
Unions and freight railroads have so far reached tentative agreements covering 21,000 workers represented by five of the 12 unions involved in the negotiations.
A railroad work stoppage would cost the U.S. economy $2 billion per day in output and require 467,000 long-haul trucks daily to handle shipments diverted from rail - exceeding supply, the railroad association said.
"Additional insecurity placed on the still fragile U.S. supply chain - as we recover from COVID and other supply chain stressors and move towards the holiday season - will harm the economy at large and individual Americans," ATA's Spear said.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) released its 2021-2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report—Working to Change the World—citing its reduction of operational emissions by 39%, and marking significant progress toward its 2030 goal of reducing direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 60%, and its value chain emissions by 30%. ManpowerGroup was the first company in its industry to have its climate goals validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).
The company is also actively driving its social mission where it can have the most impact by addressing the growing structural skills shortage by calling on the global community to work together to accelerate impact in the areas of skills development, employability, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). This will help workers prepare for a future of work that is more digital, more global and fast paced than ever.
An inaugural member of the World Economic Forum's Alliance for CEO Climate Leaders and a founding member of the World Employment Confederation and many others, ManpowerGroup is an active contributor and believer in collective partnership. Its Working to Change the World plan reinforces its values around people and purpose – that meaningful work has the power to change the world – and highlights the many ways the company is making progress within its main pillars:
- Planet (the E in ESG) - by reducing emissions within the company and its value chain
- People & Prosperity (the S in ESG) - by creating talent at scale and providing meaningful, sustainable work for all
- Principles of Governance - by being consistently recognized for its ethical and responsible business practices
"I am proud of the dedication of the ManpowerGroup team to be first in our industry to have our 2030 climate goals validated by SBTi, identifying the levers to reach Net-Zero by 2045 or sooner," says ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO Jonas Prising. "What is increasingly urgent, however, is the need to make the same kind of global collective progress to address the S - and decades faster than we did on climate action. When you're dealing with people and talent, you're intimately involved in one of the most important decisions in someone's lifetime - the choice of a job, career and income. We know that global economics, current geopolitics, and other accelerating trends are exacerbating the divide between knowledge workers, skilled and unskilled workers. Unless we act now, we will see a further bifurcation of opportunity and wealth creation by gender, race, education, and skill set, which is not good for economic growth and societal well-being."
"We believe in shared ambitions to achieve Net Positive on the S and, therefore, we must take a more science-based approach," says Ruth Harper, chief sustainability and communications officer of ManpowerGroup. "For us, People and Prosperity are core to our business and foundational to our purpose. That's why we believe in Net Positive employment – so that people are better off whether they stay with us or leave. It means being people first by broadening diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace, increasing people's individual employability, and providing them with greater control of their prosperity and earning potential so they know more about themselves, understand their potential, and can be confident they have the skills for today and tomorrow."
Key highlights from the ManpowerGroup 2021-2022 ESG Report:
Planet
- Reduced operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 39% - significant progress towards its goal of 60% reduction by 2030.
- Reported on climate to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for the 11th year, with scores higher than industry averages.
- Activated Planet teams in its 15 largest markets to align globally and deliver locally on its Climate Action Plan.
People & Prosperity
- Focused on closing the skills gap, improving employability and income prosperity, and building a more resilient, future-ready workforce.
- Transformed 182,000 lives to date through the Manpower MyPath program, providing personalized coaching and upskilling opportunities mapped to in-demand career pathways -- most notably in skilled technical, transportation and logistics as well as business professionals like those in marketing and sales roles.
- Committed to championing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the workplace and to setting an ambitious goal to reach 50% gender diversity at a global leadership level by 2025. For the past 10 years, ManpowerGroup has exceeded 30% gender diversity in its board of directors and its global workforce in 2021 was 60% female.
Principles of Governance
- Named as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere for the 13th year in 2022 – the only company in the industry to be awarded this accolade for more than a decade.
- Included on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the 12th year.
- To date, achieved platinum, gold, and silver EcoVadis rankings in 24 countries and at the global level.

Sussex Police are no longer treating the sudden death of a man in Sussex as suspicious.
Officers were called to the High Street in Storrington, West Sussex, shortly after 10am on Sunday after a man was found unconscious in the road.
The man, aged 49, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A forensic post-mortem examination was conducted on Wednesday at Worthing Hospital. While the cause of death is still under investigation, detectives were able to ascertain that the man had not died as the result of the actions of another person.
As a result, a 78-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder on Sunday has been released from bail and is no longer a suspect in connection with the incident.
DCI Andy Wolstenholme, of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: “Understandably this tragic incident shocked the village of Storrington, and left a family with a most terrible loss; we are sorry for this tragedy and our thoughts are with the family and friends as we continue to support them in understanding what happened to their loved one.
“Based on the evidence that we were presented with on Sunday, it was necessary to make an arrest and investigate further.
“My team worked swiftly and effectively to gather evidence quickly, and we have today been able to eliminate the arrested man from our inquiry as we are sure he played no part in the sad death of the individual.
“While the actual cause of death is still under investigation, we are able to reassure the community that no third party was involved in this sad death.
“I am thankful to the residents of Storrington for the respect they showed to the deceased man while the area was cordoned off by police, to those who responded to the witness appeal, and to the local business who provided iced water to our team on a hot day.”
Sussex Police will continue to investigate the circumstances of this death on behalf of HM Coroner.

[Epoch Times, September 12, 2022](The Epoch Times reporter Linda compiled and reported) On September 26, NASA slammed a spacecraft known as a “battering ram” into a A sizable asteroid to test whether it could be used to thwart a similar civilization-killer asteroid to eliminate its potential harm to Earth.
The binary asteroid system Didymos is a pair of near-Earth rocky objects known as “potentially hazardous”. Now, the spacecraft used in the “Double Small Object Reorientation Test” project (DART) has approached its target.
While the DART spacecraft can use its optical navigation camera to capture images of asteroid systems, it still has a short way to go — 20 million miles to be exact, NASA said.
The DART spacecraft is scheduled to collide on Sept. 26 with the smaller of the binary asteroid system called Dimorphos, a natural small satellite of another slightly larger object, Didymos.
This moment is extremely important because the collision will mark the first time humans have attempted to reverse the direction of an asteroid, thereby creating a new way to avoid a future devastating impact.
“The first set of images was used for testing to demonstrate that the imaging technology was passable,” Elena Adams, DART mission systems engineer, said in a statement.
“The quality of the images is similar to that obtained with ground-based telescopes, but it is important to function properly and to see the target, so that the necessary adjustments can be made before starting to use the image to guide the spacecraft and automatically crash into the asteroid, ‘ Adams added.
Over the next two weeks, DART will make 3 orbit corrections to keep the target locked. During the final four hours, it also autonomously adjusts its orbit to ensure a successful final impact.
If all goes well, it will smash itself into an asteroid in the next step, and will not hesitate to shatter its bones in order to serve humanity. ◇#
